			ARTICLE III
TERM AND TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT 
		

		
			3.1      Term.    Subject to the remaining terms of this Article III, this Agreement shall be for an initial term that continues in effect through the third anniversary of the Commencement  Date (the “Initial Term”) and, unless terminated sooner as herein provided, shall continue on a year‐to‐year basis (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term, the “Term”).   If the Company or Executive elects not to renew this Agreement for a Renewal Term, the Company or Executive must give a Notice of Termination to the other party at least 90 days before the expiration of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.   In the event that one party provides the other with a Notice of Termination pursuant to this Section 3.1, no further automatic extensions will occur and this Agreement shall terminate at the end of the then-existing Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.
		

		
			3.2      Company’s Right to Terminate.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1, the Company may terminate Executive’s employment under this Agreement at any time for any of the following reasons by providing Executive with a Notice of Termination: 
		

		
			(a)      upon Executive being unable to perform Executive’s duties or fulfill Executive’s obligations under this Agreement by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental impairment that can be expected to result in death or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than six months as determined by the Company and certified in writing by a competent medical physician selected solely by the Company in the event of any alleged mental impairment and in the event of any alleged physical impairment  by the Company, with the Executive having the right to approve such election; provided, however, if the Executive fails to approve the Company’s first two selections within ten days of being notified of each such selection, the Company will have the right thereafter to designate any licensed medical physician on staff with either the Baylor College of Medicine or Methodist Hospital, each located in Houston, Texas;  or
		

		
			(b)      Executive’s death; or
		

		
			(c)      for Cause;

			3.3      Executive’s Right to Terminate.

In the case of a termination of employment by Executive pursuant to this Section 3.3, the Date of Termination specified in the Notice of Termination shall not be less than 15 nor more than 60 days, respectively, from the date such Notice of Termination is given, and the Company may require a Date of Termination earlier than that specified in the Notice of Termination (and, if such earlier Date of Termination is so required, it shall not change the basis for Executive’s termination nor be construed or interpreted as a termination of employment pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 3.2).    
		

		
			3.4      Deemed Resignations.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Company and Executive prior to the termination of Executive’s employment, any termination of Executive’s employment shall constitute an automatic resignation of Executive as an officer of the Company and each affiliate of the Company, and an automatic resignation of Executive from the Board (if applicable) and from the board of directors of the Company and any affiliate of the Company and from the board of directors or similar governing body of any corporation, limited liability entity or other entity in which the Company or any affiliate holds an equity interest and with respect to which board or similar governing body Executive serves as the Company’s or such affiliate’s designee or other representative.
		

		
			3.5      Meaning of Termination of Employment.  For all purposes of this Agreement, Executive shall be considered to have terminated employment with the Company only when Executive incurs a “separation from service” with the Company within the meaning of Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder. 
		

		
			ARTICLE IV
COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS 
		

		
			4.1      Base Salary.  During the term of this Agreement, Executive shall receive a minimum, annualized base salary of $315,000 (the “Base Salary”). Executive’s Base Salary shall be reviewed periodically by the Board (or a committee thereof) and, in the sole discretion of the Board (or a committee thereof), such base salary may be increased (but not decreased) effective as of any date determined by the Board (or a committee thereof)..  Executive’s Base Salary shall be paid in equal installments in accordance with the Company’s standard policy regarding payment of compensation to executives but no less frequently than monthly.

If Executive has not been employed by the Company since January 1 of the year that includes the Effective Date, then the Annual Bonus for such year shall be prorated based on the ratio of the number of days during such calendar year that Executive was employed by the Company to the number of days in such calendar year.

Any such reimbursement of expenses shall be made by the Company upon or as soon as practicable following receipt of supporting documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Company (but in any event not later than the close of Executive’s taxable year following the taxable year in which the expense is incurred by Executive); provided, however, that, upon Executive’s termination of employment with the Company, in no event shall any additional reimbursement be made prior to the Section 409A Payment Date to the extent such payment delay is required under Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code.  The following provisions shall apply to such reimbursements in order to assure that such reimbursements do not create a deferred compensation arrangement subject to Section 409A of the Code:
		

		
			(a)      The amount of reimbursements to which Executive may become entitled in any one calendar year shall not affect the amount of expenses eligible for reimbursement hereunder in any other calendar year:
		

		
			(b)      Each reimbursement to which Executive becomes entitled shall be made no later than the close of business of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the reimbursable expense is incurred; and 
		

		
			(c)      Executive’s right to reimbursement cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit or payment.

			5.1      Disclosure to and Property of the Company.  For purposes of this Article V, the term “the Company” shall include the Company and any of its affiliates, and any reference to “employment” or similar terms shall include a director and/or consulting relationship. All information, trade secrets, designs, ideas, concepts, improvements, product developments, discoveries and inventions, whether patentable or not, that are conceived, made, developed or acquired by Executive, individually or in conjunction with others, during the period of Executive’s employment by the Company (whether during business hours or otherwise and whether on the Company’s premises or otherwise) that relate to the Company’s or any of its affiliates’ business, trade secrets, products or services (including, without limitation, all such information relating to corporate opportunities, product specification, compositions, manufacturing and distribution methods and processes, research, financial and sales data, pricing terms, evaluations, opinions, interpretations, acquisition prospects, the identity of customers or their requirements, the identity of key contacts within the customer’s organizations or within the organization of acquisition prospects, or production, marketing and merchandising techniques, prospective names and marks) and all writings or materials of any type embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions and other similar forms of expression (collectively, “Confidential Information”) shall be disclosed to the Company and are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company or its affiliates. Moreover, all documents, videotapes, written presentations, brochures, drawings, memoranda, notes, records, files, correspondence, manuals, models, specifications, computer programs, E-mail, voice mail, electronic databases, maps, drawings, architectural renditions, models and all other writings or materials of any type embodying any of such information, ideas, concepts, improvements, discoveries, inventions and other similar forms of expression (collectively, “Work Product”) are and shall be the sole and exclusive property of the Company (or its affiliates).

The Company shall disclose to Executive, or place Executive in a position to have access to or develop, Confidential Information and Work Product of the Company (or its affiliates); and shall entrust Executive with business opportunities of the Company (or its affiliates); and shall place Executive in a position to develop business good will on behalf of the Company (or its affiliates). 
		

		
			5.3      No Unauthorized Use or Disclosure.  Executive agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of all Confidential Information and Work Product of the Company and its affiliates.

		the Company, make any unauthorized disclosure of, and Executive shall not remove from the Company premises, Confidential Information or Work Product of the Company or its affiliates, or make any use thereof, except, in each case, in the carrying out of Executive’s responsibilities hereunder.  Executive shall use all reasonable efforts to cause all persons or entities to whom any Confidential Information shall be disclosed by Executive hereunder to preserve and protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.  Executive shall have no obligation hereunder to keep confidential any Confidential Information if and to the extent disclosure thereof is specifically required by law; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by applicable law, Executive shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement prior to making any such disclosure, so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order.  At the request of the Company at any time, Executive agrees to deliver to the Company all Confidential Information that Executive may possess or control. Executive agrees that all Confidential Information of the Company (whether now or hereafter existing) conceived, discovered or made by Executive during the period of Executive’s employment by the Company exclusively belongs to the Company (and not to Executive), and upon request by the Company for specified Confidential Information, Executive will promptly disclose such Confidential Information to the Company and perform all actions reasonably requested by the Company to establish and confirm such exclusive ownership.  Affiliates of the Company shall be third party beneficiaries of Executive’s obligations under this Article V. As a result of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive may also from time to time have access to, or knowledge of, Confidential Information or Work Product of third parties, such as customers, suppliers, partners, joint venturers, and the like, of the Company and its affiliates. Executive also agrees to preserve and protect the confidentiality of such third party Confidential Information and Work Product. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Executive may disclose Confidential Information (i) as such disclosure or use may be required or appropriate in connection with his work as an employee of the Company, (ii) when required to do so by a court of law, by any governmental agency having apparent supervisory authority over the business of the Company or by any administrative or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with apparent jurisdiction to order him to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information, (iii) as to such Confidential Information that becomes generally known to the public or trade without his violation of this Section 5.3.
		

		
			5.4      Ownership by the Company.

If the work relating to the Company’s business, products, or services is neither prepared by Executive within the scope of Executive’s employment nor a work specially ordered that is deemed to be a work made for hire during Executive’s employment by the Company, then Executive hereby agrees to assign, and by these presents does 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		assign, to the Company all of Executive’s worldwide right, title, and interest in and to such work and all rights of copyright therein.
		

		
			5.5      Assistance by Executive.  During the period of Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive shall assist the Company and its nominee, at any time, in the protection of the Company’s or its affiliates’ worldwide right, title and interest in and to Confidential Information and Work Product and the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by the Company or its nominee and the execution of all lawful oaths and applications for patents and registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries. After Executive’s employment with the Company terminates, at the request from time to time and expense of the Company or its affiliates, Executive shall reasonably assist the Company and its nominee, at reasonable times and for reasonable periods and for reasonable compensation, in the protection of the Company’s or its affiliates’ worldwide right, title and interest in and to Confidential Information and Work Product and the execution of all formal assignment documents requested by the Company or its nominee and the execution of all lawful oaths and applications for patents and registration of copyright in the United States and foreign countries. 
		

		
			5.6      Remedies.  Executive acknowledges that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article V by Executive, and the Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article V by terminating payments then owing to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article V but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Executive and Executive’s agents. However, if it is determined that Executive has not committed a breach of this Article V, then the Company shall resume the payments and benefits due under this Agreement and pay to Executive and Executive’s spouse, if applicable, all payments and benefits that had been suspended pending such determination.

			(C)      the Company shall pay to Executive an amount equal to two times the sum of Executive’s Base Salary as of the Date of Termination and the Average Annual Bonus, which amount shall be divided into and paid in 48 equal consecutive semi-monthly installments payable on the 15th and last day of each month, commencing on the first installment date that is 60 days following Executive’s Date of Termination.  The right to payment of the installment amounts pursuant to this paragraph shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments for purposes of Section 409A of the Code;
		

		
			(D)      during the portion, if any, of the 18-month period following the Date of Termination that Executive elects to continue coverage for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents under the Company’s group health plans under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (COBRA), and/or Sections 601 through 608 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, the Company shall promptly reimburse Executive on a monthly basis for the amount Executive pays to effect and continue such coverage;  provided, however, that (x) the amount of such benefits in any one calendar year of such coverage shall not affect the amount of benefits in any other calendar year for which such benefits are to be provided hereunder and (y) Executive’s right to the benefits cannot be liquidated or exchanged for any other benefit; and
		

		
			(E)      if the Date of Termination occurs within the one-year period beginning on the date upon which a Change in Control occurs, then the Company shall cause all stock options awarded to Executive by the Parent Company (to the extent vested) to be exercisable for five years following the Date of Termination (but in no event later than the earlier of the latest date upon which the option could have expired by its original terms under any circumstances or the tenth anniversary of the original date of grant of the option).
		

		
			            7.2            Payment Date under Section 409A of the Code.
		

		
			 
		

		
			            (a)             It is the intention of the parties that this Agreement comply with the requirements of Section 409 A of the Code and applicable administrative guidance issued thereunder.  Accordingly, to the extent there is any ambiguity as to whether one or more provisions of this Agreement would otherwise contravene the applicable requirements or limitations of Section 409A, then those provisions shall be interpreted and applied in a manner that does not result in a violation of the applicable requirements or limitations of Section 409A.  In no event may Executive, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year of a payment.
		

		
			 
		

		
			            (b)            Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, no payments or benefits to which Executive becomes entitled under this Article VII and which constitute deferred compensation within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall be made or paid to Executive prior to the earlier of (i) the first business day of the seventh month following the date of Executive’s termination of employment or (ii) the date of Executive’s death (such date, the “Section 409A Payment Date”), if (x) Executive is deemed on termination of employment a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Section 409A of the Code, (y) the stock of the Company or any successor entity is publicly traded on an established market and (z) such delayed commencement is otherwise required in order to avoid a prohibited distribution under Code Section 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		409A(a)(2).  Upon the expiration of the applicable deferral period, all payments deferred pursuant to this provision shall be paid in a lump sum to Executive, and any remaining payments, benefits or reimbursements due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified for them herein. 
		

		
			 
		

		
			ARTICLE VIII
NON-COMPETITION AGREEMENT 
		

		
			8.1      Definitions.  As used in this Article VIII, the following terms shall have the following meanings: 
		

		
			“Business” means (a) during the period of Executive’s employment by the Company, the core products and services provided by the Company and its affiliates during such period and other products and services that are functionally equivalent to the foregoing, and (b) during the portion of the Prohibited Period that begins on the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company, the products and services provided by the Company and its affiliates at the time of such termination of employment and other products and services that are functionally equivalent to the foregoing. 
		

		
			“Competing Business” means any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity which wholly or in any significant part engages in any business competing with the Business in the Restricted Area. In no event will the Company or any of its affiliates be deemed a Competing Business. 
		

		
			“Governmental Authority” means any governmental, quasi-governmental, state, county, city or other political subdivision of the United States or any other country, or any agency, court or instrumentality, foreign or domestic, or statutory or regulatory body thereof. 
		

		
			“Legal Requirement” means any law, statute, code, ordinance, order, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, injunction, franchise, permit, certificate, license, authorization, or other directional requirement (including, without limitation, any of the foregoing that relates to environmental standards or controls, energy regulations and occupational, safety and health standards or controls including those arising under environmental laws) of any Governmental Authority. 
		

		
			“Prohibited Period” means the period during which Executive is employed by the Company hereunder and a period of one year following the termination of Executive’s employment with the Company.
		

		
			“Restricted Area” means the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom. 
		

		
			8.2      Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.  Executive and the Company agree to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of this Article VIII (i) in consideration for the Confidential Information provided by the Company to Executive pursuant to Article V of this Agreement; (ii) as part of the consideration for the compensation and benefits to be paid to Executive hereunder, (iii) to protect the trade secrets and confidential information of the Company or its affiliates disclosed or entrusted to Executive by the Company or its affiliates or created or developed by Executive for the Company or its affiliates, the business goodwill of the Company or 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		its affiliates developed through the efforts of Executive and/or the business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to Executive by the Company or its affiliates and (iv) as an additional incentive for the Company to enter into this Agreement.  
		

		
			(a)      Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 8.2(b) below, Executive expressly covenants and agrees that during the Prohibited Period (i) Executive will refrain from carrying on or engaging in, directly or indirectly, any Competing Business in the Restricted Area and (ii) Executive will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, become an employee, partner, owner or member of (or an independent contractor to), control or participate in or be connected with or loan money to, sell or lease equipment to or sell or lease real property to any business, individual, partnership, firm, corporation or other entity which engages in a Competing Business in the Restricted Area.
		

		
			(b)      Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 8.2(a), Executive may own an aggregate of not more than 2% of the outstanding stock of any class of any corporation engaged in a Competing Business, if such stock is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of a national securities exchange, without violating the provisions of Section 8.2(a), provided that neither Executive has the power, directly or indirectly, to control or direct the management or affairs of any such corporation and is not involved in the management of such corporation.  In addition, the restrictions contained in Section 8.2(a) shall not preclude Executive from being employed by any financial institution or for a Competing Business so long as Executive’s principal duties at such institution or Competing Business are not directly and primarily related to the Business. 
		

		
			(c)      Executive further expressly covenants and agrees that during the Prohibited Period, Executive will not(i) engage or employ, or solicit or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any person who is an officer or employee of the Company or any of its affiliates or (ii) canvass, solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be canvassed, solicited, approached or enticed away from the Company or any of its affiliates any person who or which is a customer of any of such entities during the period during which Executive is employed by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions of clause (i) of this Section 8.2(c) shall not apply with respect to (A) an officer or employee whose employment has been involuntarily terminated by his or her employer (other than for cause), (B) an officer or employee who has voluntarily terminated employment with the Company and its affiliates and who has not been employed by any of such entities for at least one year, (C) an officer or employee who responds to a general solicitation that is not specifically directed at officers and employees of the Company or any of its affiliates. 
		

		
			(d)      Executive may seek the written consent of the Company, which may be withheld for good reason, to waive the provisions of this Article VIII on a case-by-case basis. 
		

		
			(e)      The restrictions contained in Section 8.2 shall not apply to any product or services that the Company provided during Executive’s employment but that the Company no longer provides at the Date of Termination. 
		

		
			8.3      Relief.  Executive and the Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in Section 8.2 hereof are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		business interests of the Company. Executive and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article VIII by Executive, and the Company or its affiliates shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article VIII by terminating payments then owing to Executive under this Agreement or otherwise and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach.  Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article VIII but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from Executive. However, if it is determined that Executive has not committed a breach of this Article VIII, then the Company shall resume the payments and benefits due under this Agreement and pay to Executive all payments and benefits that had been suspended pending such determination. 
		

		
			8.4      Reasonableness; Enforcement.  Executive hereby represents to the Company that Executive has read and understands, and agrees to be bound by, the terms of this Article VIII. Executive acknowledges that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Article VIII are the result of arm’s-length bargaining and are fair and reasonable in light of (a) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Business, (b) Executive’s level of control over and contact with the Business in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted, (c) the fact that the Business is conducted throughout the Restricted Area and (d) the amount of compensation and Confidential Information that Executive is receiving in connection with the performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. It is the desire and intent of the parties that the provisions of this Article VIII be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, whether now or hereafter in effect and therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, Executive and the Company hereby waive any provision of applicable Legal Requirements that would render any provision of this Article VIII invalid or unenforceable. 
		

		
			8.5      Reformation. The Company and Executive agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article VIII would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Executive understands that the foregoing restrictions may limit Executive’s ability to engage in certain businesses anywhere in the Restricted Area during the Prohibited Period, but acknowledges that Executive will receive sufficiently high remuneration and other benefits from the Company to justify such restriction. Further, Executive acknowledges that Executive’s skills are such that Executive can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the agreement not to compete will not prevent Executive from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced. By agreeing to this contractual modification prospectively at this time, the Company and Executive intend to make this provision enforceable under the law or laws of all applicable States, Provinces and other jurisdictions so that the entire agreement not to compete and this Agreement as prospectively modified shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be rendered void or illegal. Such modification shall not affect the payments made to Executive under this Agreement. 
		

		
			ARTICLE IX
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
		

		
			9.1      Dispute Resolution.  If any dispute arises out of this Agreement or out of or in connection with any equity compensation award made to Executive by the Company or any of its 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		affiliates, the “complaining party” shall give the “other party” written notice of such dispute. The other party shall have 10 business days to resolve the dispute to the complaining party’s satisfaction. If the dispute is not resolved by the end of such period, either disputing party may require the other to submit to non-binding mediation with the assistance of a neutral, unaffiliated mediator. If the parties encounter difficulty in agreeing upon a neutral unaffiliated mediator, they shall seek the assistance of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in the selection process. If mediation is unsuccessful, or if mediation is not requested by a party, either party may by written notice demand arbitration of the dispute as set out below, and each party hereto expressly agrees to submit to, and be bound by, such arbitration. 
		

		
			(a)      Unless the parties agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator, the dispute shall be referred to one arbitrator appointed by the AAA.  The arbitrator will set the rules and timing of the arbitration, but will generally follow the employment rules of the AAA and this Agreement where same are applicable and shall provide for a reasoned opinion. 
		

		
			(b)      The arbitration hearing will in no event take place more than 180 days after the appointment of the arbitrator. 
		

		
			(c)      The mediation and the arbitration will take place in Houston, Texas unless otherwise unanimously agreed to by the parties. 
		

		
			(d)      The results of the arbitration and the decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding on the parties and each party agrees and acknowledges that these results shall be enforceable in a court of law. 
		

		
			(e)      All costs and expenses of the mediation and arbitration shall be borne equally by the Company and Executive.  The arbitrator shall award the prevailing party its reasonable attorneys fees incurred in connection with the dispute. 
		

		
			Executive and the Company explicitly recognize that no provision of this Article IX shall prevent either party from seeking to resolve any dispute relating to Article V or Article VIII or this Agreement in a court of law.

			10.3    Indemnification.
		

		
			(a)      Save and except for any Proceeding (as herein defined) brought by (i) Executive’s former employer, including any affiliate thereof (collectively “Former Employer”) alleging that Executive’s employment hereunder violates any agreement between the Executive and such Former Employer, or (ii) the Executive or his estate, the Company agrees that if Executive is made a party, or is threatened to be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a director, officer, member, employee or agent,  Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or bylaws or resolutions of the Board and by the laws of the state of Delaware against all cost, expense, liability and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by Executive in connection therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to Executive even if he has ceased to be a director, member, employee or agent of the Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of Executive’s heirs, executors and administrators.  In order to be entitled to the above described indemnification Executive must give prompt written notice to the Company of such Proceeding and the Company (and its insurers) shall be entitled to defend such Proceeding and to enter into such settlement agreements that the Company and its insurers believe is reasonable and necessary so long as the Executive is not required to admit any misconduct or liability, nor required to pay any portion of such settlement.  To the extent that the Company fails to provide a defense for all claims raised in any Proceeding after receiving notice thereof, the Company shall advance to Executive all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 days after receipt by the Company of a written request for such advance.  Such request shall include an undertaking by Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs and expenses.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.3 to the contrary, unless an earlier payment date is specified above, the Company shall, in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(v), pay Executive (or pay on Executive’s behalf) all amounts to which 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		Executive is entitled under this Section 10.3 no later than the end of the second calendar year following the calendar year in which the indemnifiable expense is incurred.
		

		
			(b)      Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning payment of amounts claimed by Executive under Section 11.3(a) above that indemnification of Executive is proper because he has met the applicable standard of conduct, nor determination by the Company (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) that Executive has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that Executive has not met the applicable standard of conduct.
		

		
			(c)      The Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors and officers’ liability insurance policy covering Executive to the extent the Company provides such coverage for its directors and other executive officers.
		

		
			10.4    No Waiver.  No failure by either party hereto at any time to give notice of any breach by the other party of, or to require compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of similar or dissimilar provisions or conditions at the same or at any prior or subsequent time. 
		

		
			10.5    Severability.  If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, then the invalidity or unenforceability of that provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 
		

		
			10.6    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same Agreement. 
		

		
			10.7    Withholding of Taxes and Other Employee Deductions.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Company may withhold from any benefits and payments made pursuant to this Agreement all federal, state, city and other taxes and withholdings as may be required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation or ruling and all other customary deductions made with respect to the Company’s employees generally. 
		

		
			10.8    Controlling document.  If any provision of any agreement, plan, program, policy, arrangement or other written document between or relating to the Company and Executive conflicts with any provision of this Agreement, the provision of this Agreement shall control and prevail.
		

		
			10.9    Headings.  The Section headings have been inserted for purposes of convenience and shall not be used for interpretive purposes. 
		

		
			10.10  Gender and Plurals. Wherever the context so requires, the masculine gender includes the feminine or neuter, and the singular number includes the plural and conversely. 
		

		
			10.11  Affiliate.

		Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, the Parent Company shall be deemed to be an affiliate of the Company for all purposes of this Agreement. 
		

		
			10.12  Successors.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company and any successor of the Company.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence and in Section 2.2, this Agreement, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder, are personal and neither this Agreement, nor any right, benefit or obligation of either party hereto, shall be subject to voluntary or involuntary assignment, alienation or transfer, whether by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of the other party.  In addition, any payment owed to Executive hereunder after the date of Executive’s death shall be paid to Executive’s estate. 
		

		
			10.13  Term.  Termination of this Agreement shall not affect any right or obligation of any party which is accrued or vested prior to such termination.  Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, the provisions of Articles V, VI, VII, VIII and IX shall survive any termination of the employment relationship and/or of this Agreement.
		

		
			10.14  Entire Agreement. Except as provided in any signed written agreement contemporaneously or hereafter executed by the Company and Executive, this Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and contains all the covenants, promises, representations, warranties and agreements between the parties with respect to employment of Executive by the Company. Without limiting the scope of the preceding sentence, all understandings and agreements preceding the date of execution of this Agreement and relating to the subject matter hereof are hereby null and void and of no further force and effect.

			RELEASE AGREEMENT
		

		
			This Release Agreement (this “Agreement”) constitutes the release referred to in that certain Employment Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) dated as of _______________ ____, 20___, by and between P. Michael McCarthy (“Executive”) and Cardtronics USA, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”).
		

		
			(a)      For good and valuable consideration, including the Company’s provision of certain payments and benefits to Executive in accordance with Section 7.1(b)(ii) of the Employment Agreement, Executive hereby releases, discharges and forever acquits the Company, Cardtronics, Inc., their affiliates and subsidiaries and the past, present and future stockholders, members, partners, directors, managers, employees, agents, attorneys, heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns of the foregoing, in their personal and representative capacities (collectively, the “Company Parties”), from liability for, and hereby waives, any and all claims, damages, or causes of action of any kind for Executive’s employment with any Company Party, the termination of such employment, and any other acts or omissions on or prior to the date of this Agreement including without limitation any alleged violation through the date of this Agreement of:  (i) the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended; (ii) Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; (iii) the Civil Rights Act of 1991; (iv) Section 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code, as amended; (v) the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended; (vi) the Immigration Reform Control Act, as amended; (vii) the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended; (viii) the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; (ix) the Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended; (x) the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; (xi) any state anti-discrimination law; (xii) any state wage and hour law; (xiii) any other local, state or federal law, regulation or ordinance; (xiv) any public policy, contract, tort, or common law claim; (xv) any allegation for costs, fees, or other expenses including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters; (xvi) any and all rights, benefits or claims Executive may have under any employment contract, incentive compensation plan or stock option plan with any Company Party or to any ownership interest in any Company Party except as expressly provided in the Employment Agreement and any stock option or other equity compensation agreement between Executive and the Company and (xvii) any claim for compensation or benefits of any kind not expressly set forth in the Employment Agreement or any such stock option or other equity compensation agreement (collectively, the “Released Claims”).  In no event shall the Released Claims include (a) any claim which arises after the date of this Agreement, or (b) any claim to vested benefits under an employee benefit plan, or (c) any claims for contractual payments under the Employment Agreement including without limitation any claim to indemnification under the Employment Agreement.  Notwithstanding this release of liability, nothing in this Agreement prevents Executive from filing any non-legally waivable claim (including a challenge to the validity of this Agreement) with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) or comparable state or local agency or participating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the EEOC or comparable state or local agency; however, Executive understands and agrees that Executive is waiving any and all rights to recover any monetary or personal relief or recovery as a result of such EEOC, or comparable state or local agency proceeding or subsequent legal actions. This Agreement is not intended to indicate that any such claims exist or that, if they do exist, they are meritorious.  Rather, Executive is simply agreeing that, in exchange for the consideration recited in the first sentence of this paragraph, any and all potential claims of this nature that Executive may have against the 
		

		 

		

			 

		

 

		

			 

		

		Company Parties as of the date of this Agreement, regardless of whether they actually exist, are expressly settled, compromised and waived.  By signing this Agreement, Executive is bound by it.  Anyone who succeeds to Executive’s rights and responsibilities, such as heirs or the executor of Executive’s estate, is also bound by this Agreement.  This release also applies to any claims brought by any person or agency or class action under which Executive may have a right or benefit.  THIS RELEASE INCLUDES MATTERS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE SOLE OR PARTIAL NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER GROSS OR SIMPLE) OR OTHER FAULT, INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY, OF ANY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES.  
		

		
			(b)      Executive agrees not to bring or join, but may defend, any lawsuit against any of the Company Parties in any court relating to any of the Released Claims.  Executive represents that Executive has not brought or joined any lawsuit or filed any charge or claim against any of the Company Parties in any court or before any government agency and has made no assignment of any rights Executive has asserted or may have against any of the Company Parties to any person or entity, in each case, with respect to any Released Claims.

4.2.    Title Defects.  
4.2.1.    Buyer’s Objections to Title; Seller’s Obligations and Rights.  
		
	(a)
	Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters that appear on the Title Commitment, the Survey, and any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment (whether or not such matters constitute Permitted Exceptions), so long as Buyer makes such objection at least three (3) Business Days prior to the final day of the Due Diligence Period (the “Initial Title Objections Deadline”).  In addition, following the Initial Title Objections Deadline, Buyer shall have the right to object in writing to any title matters which are not Permitted Exceptions and which may first appear on any supplemental title reports or updates to the Title Commitment or Survey issued after the Initial Title Objections deadline so long as such objection is made by Buyer within five (5) Business Days after Buyer becomes aware of the same (and, if necessary, the Due Diligence Period shall be extended in order to permit Buyer the full five (5) Business Day period to make any such objection).  Unless Buyer is entitled to (as applicable) and timely objects to any such title matters, all such title matters shall be deemed to constitute additional Permitted Exceptions. 

		
	(b)
	To the extent that any Title Objections do not constitute Required Exceptions, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to Remove or cause to be Removed any such Title Objections, and Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within two (2) Business Days after receipt of Buyer’s applicable notice of Title Objections (but, in any event, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, which shall be extended if necessary in order to afford Seller the full two (2) Business Day period to deliver such response) whether Seller elects to Remove the same.  Failure of Seller to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to Remove such Title Objections.  Any Title Objection that Seller elects in writing to Remove shall be deemed a Required Exception.  If Seller elects (or is deemed to have 

11
36131870_4

elected) not to Remove one or more Title Objections, then, within two (2) Business Days after Seller’s election or deemed election (but, in any event, on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, which shall be extended if necessary to afford Buyer such two (2) Business Day period), Buyer may elect in writing to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (ii) waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing.  Failure of Buyer to respond in writing within such period shall be deemed an election by Buyer to waive such Title Objections and proceed to Closing.  Any such Title Objection so waived (or deemed waived) by Buyer shall be deemed to constitute a Permitted Exception, and the Closing shall occur as herein provided without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase Price.
		
	(c)
	If this Agreement is not terminated by Buyer in accordance with the provisions hereof, Seller shall, at Closing, Remove or cause to be Removed all Required Exceptions.  Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy any Required Exceptions that exist as of the Closing Date, provided Seller shall cause the Title Company to Remove the same at or prior to Closing.

4.2.2.    No New Exceptions.  From and after the Effective Date, Seller has not executed and shall not execute or suffer to exist any deed, easement, restriction, covenant or other matter affecting title to the Property unless Buyer has received a copy thereof and has approved the same in writing.  If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed instrument within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed instrument.  Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such instrument that is proposed between the Effective Date and the Closing. 
4.3.    Title Insurance.  At Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Buyer, insuring that fee simple title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and such matters not requiring action by or control of Seller as required by this Agreement.

12
36131870_4

5.1.1.    Access to Documents and the Property.  During the Due Diligence Period and thereafter through the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) make available to Buyer the documents and materials contained in and otherwise available through the On-Line Data Room as of the date hereof, and (ii) allow Buyer to examine the books and records of the Seller, the Lease, lease files, Contracts, insurance policies, tax, utility and other bills, operating statements, rent rolls, operating statements and all other general records with respect to the Property (and to make copies thereof) and such other documents, information and data with respect to the Property as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to the extent the same are in Seller’s possession or under Seller’s reasonable control, excluding in all instances Confidential Information.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has received access to the On-Line Data Room.  In addition, during the Due Diligence Period and thereafter through the Closing Date, Seller shall allow, and will continue to allow, Buyer and any of Buyer’s consultants, contractors or agents (“Buyer’s Consultants”) access to the Property upon reasonable prior notice (which means at least twenty-four hour prior written notice, as required by the Lease) at reasonable times to inspect the Property (including, without limitation, inspections of all roofs, electrical, mechanical and structural elements, HVAC systems and other building systems located on or within the Real Property), to perform due diligence as permitted herein, to interview the tenants, property managers and service providers of the Property, and to perform such other inspections and investigations with respect to the Property as the Buyer shall deem necessary or appropriate, provided (a) such access does not unreasonably interfere with the operation of the Property or the rights of Tenant as set forth in the Lease; (b) Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants shall coordinate with Seller and Seller’s property manager prior to and during each visit to the Property by Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants and representatives of Seller shall have the opportunity to accompany Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants during each such visit; (c) Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants shall not contact the Tenant without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (d) Seller or its Designated Representative shall have the right to pre-approve any physical testing of the Property during the Due Diligence Period, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and Seller or its Designated Representative shall have the opportunity to accompany Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants during any such physical testing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants may perform the Permitted Non-Invasive Environmental Testing without obtaining further consent or approval from Seller.  During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants also may perform (x) surveys, architectural, engineering, geotechnical, property condition and environmental inspections and tests and (y) intrusive or invasive inspection and sampling, but only if such intrusive or invasive inspection and sampling is reasonably recommended by the Phase I environmental report.  In the event that Seller does not consent to or allow Buyer to conduct intrusive or invasive testing that is reasonably recommended by the Phase I environmental report and as a result Buyer terminates this Agreement, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its Diligence Costs.  If the Closing does not occur for any reason other than a default by Seller under this Agreement and provided Seller 

13
36131870_4

reimburses Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with obtaining any Buyer’s Reports, Buyer shall deliver promptly to Seller, to the extent Buyer is not prohibited from doing so and without representation or warranty whatsoever, copies of all Buyer’s Reports.  Buyer shall promptly return the Property to substantially the same condition existing prior to entry onto the Property or any tests and inspections performed by Buyer or Buyer’s Consultants.  Prior to such time as Buyer or any Buyer’s Consultants enter the Property, Buyer shall (i) obtain policies of general liability insurance which insure Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants with liability insurance limits of not less than $2,000,000.00 combined single limit for personal injury and property damage and name Seller, Tenant and Seller’s property manager as additional insureds and which are with such insurance companies as Seller shall reasonably require, and (ii) provide Seller with certificates of insurance evidencing that Buyer has obtained the aforementioned policies of insurance.  Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold each of the Seller Parties free and harmless from and against any and all Liabilities (including, without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller and arising out of or resulting from the entry on the Property and/or the conduct of any due diligence while on the Property by any Buyer’s representative; provided, however, that Buyer’s obligations under the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to the mere discovery of a pre-existing environmental or physical condition at the Property or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any other Seller Party.  Notwithstanding Buyer’s continuing access to due diligence materials through the Closing Date in accordance with this Section 5.1.1, Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit in connection with its due diligence findings shall terminate as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as set forth in Section 5.3.  
5.1.2.    Limit on Government Contacts.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except in connection with the preparation of a so-called “Phase I” environmental report with respect to the Property, Buyer shall not contact any governmental official or representative regarding hazardous materials on or the environmental condition of the Property without Seller’s prior written consent thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  In addition, if Seller’s consent is obtained by Buyer, Seller shall be entitled to receive at least two (2) days’ prior written notice of the intended contact and to have a representative present when Buyer has any such contact with any governmental official or representative. 
5.1.3.    Other Due Diligence Obligations of Buyer.  All inspections by Buyer and Buyer’s Consultants shall be at Buyer’s sole expense and shall be in accordance with applicable Laws, including without limitation, Laws relating to worker safety and the proper disposal of discarded materials.  Buyer shall cause each of Buyer’s Consultants to be aware of the terms of this Agreement as it relates to the conduct of Buyer’s Due Diligence and the obligations of such parties hereunder.

5.1.5.    Email Notice.  Any notices to be given by Buyer for purposes of this Section 5.1 only may be given by e-mail (with a copy by facsimile or overnight courier) to the notice parties for Seller provided in Section 15.9.
5.2.    As-Is Sale.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees as follows: 
		
	(a)
	During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer has conducted, and shall continue to conduct, or has waived its right to conduct, such Due Diligence as Buyer has deemed or shall deem necessary or appropriate. 

		
	(b)
	Except for Seller’s Warranties, the Property shall be sold, and Buyer shall accept possession of the Property on the Closing Date, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, with no right of setoff or reduction in the Purchase Price. 

		
	(c)
	Except for Seller’s Warranties, none of the Seller Parties have or shall be deemed to have made any verbal or written representations, warranties, promises or guarantees (whether express, implied, statutory or otherwise) to Buyer with respect to the Property, any matter set forth, contained or addressed in the Documents (including, but not limited to, the accuracy and completeness thereof) or the results of Buyer’s Due Diligence. 

		
	(d)
	Except for Seller’s Warranties, Buyer shall independently confirm to its satisfaction all information that it considers material to its purchase of the Property or the Transaction. 

In addition, Buyer expressly understands and acknowledges that it is possible that unknown Liabilities may exist with respect to the Property and that Buyer explicitly took that possibility into account in determining and agreeing to the Purchase Price, and that a portion of such consideration, having been bargained for between parties with the knowledge of the possibility of such unknown Liabilities shall be given in exchange for a full accord and satisfaction and discharge of all such Liabilities, provided, however, that the foregoing accord, satisfaction and discharge shall not apply to or serve to affect, amend or modify any of Seller’s Warranties or any of Seller’s covenants, indemnities and obligations set forth in this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 5.2 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
5.3.    Termination of Agreement.  Buyer may terminate this Agreement for any reason or no reason as determined by Buyer in its sole discretion by giving written notice thereof to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and, in the event of such termination, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any liability hereunder except for those 

15
36131870_4

obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, and Buyer shall be entitled to the return of the Deposit.  After the Due Diligence Period, Buyer has no right to terminate this Agreement on account of any matter pertaining to its Due Diligence, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 4.2 or Section 8.2.  Buyer and Seller each acknowledge and agree that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer shall continue to have access to the Property after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to conduct further Due Diligence subject to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, but neither such access nor the results of any such Due Diligence shall give rise to any right to terminate this Agreement. 
5.4.    Reserved.
ARTICLE 6 
 
ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS
The following adjustments and prorations shall be made at Closing as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, such that all items of income and expense with respect to the Property shall be for the account of the Buyer on the Closing Date: 
6.1.    Lease Rentals and Other Revenues.  
6.1.1.    Rents.  All collected Rents shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer.  Seller shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date.  Buyer shall be entitled to all Rents attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date.  Rents not collected as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated at the time of Closing.  
6.1.2.    Other Revenues.  Revenues from Property operations (other than Rents, security deposits (which will be apportioned as provided in Section 6.5), and pre-paid installments under Contracts (which shall be the sole property of Seller)) that are actually collected shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date.  Seller shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period to but not including the Closing Date and Buyer shall be entitled to all such revenues attributable to any period on and after the Closing Date. 
6.1.3.    Post-Closing Collections; Delinquent Rents.  Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for all Rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period from and after Closing.  After Closing, Buyer shall make a good faith effort to collect any Rents or other revenues not collected  as of the Closing Date on Seller’s behalf and to tender the same to Seller in accordance with this Article 6, although Buyer shall not be obligated to initiate any legal action or otherwise exercise any of its rights or remedies under the Lease in connection with such efforts; provided, however, that all Rents collected by Buyer or Seller on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to all amounts due under the applicable Lease at the time of collection (i.e., all Rents 

16
36131870_4

and sums due Buyer as the current owner and landlord, including any delinquent rents due Buyer), with the balance (if any) payable to Seller, but only to the extent of amounts delinquent and actually due Seller.  Buyer shall have the exclusive right to collect the sums due Seller under the Lease or other revenue due Seller from and after the Closing Date and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such sums, and Seller hereby waives its rights to take any action to pursue claims against the Tenant under the Lease or other party for sums due with respect to periods prior to the Closing Date.  To the extent that Seller receives any such sums from and after the Closing, Seller shall promptly remit the same to Buyer and Buyer shall apply such amounts in accordance herewith.  The terms of this Section 6.1.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein). 
6.2.    Proration of Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes; Special Assessments; Refunds.  All personal property taxes and general real estate and ad valorem taxes and other state, county or municipal taxes, charges and assessments (other than special assessments) affecting the Property and not paid by or due to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of the Lease will be prorated as of the Closing Date.  In the event final, current bills for such taxes are not available at Closing, such taxes will be prorated on the basis of the taxes for most recent year for which final bills are available.  If any refunds of real property taxes or assessments, water rates and charges or sewer taxes and rents shall be made after the Closing, the same shall be held in trust by the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, and shall first be applied to the unreimbursed costs incurred in obtaining the same, then to any required refunds to the Tenant, and the balance, if any, shall be paid to the Seller (to the extent such refunds relate to periods prior to the Closing Date) and to the Buyer (to the extent such refunds relate to periods commencing with the Closing Date).  If, on the Closing Date, the Property shall be or shall have been affected by any special or general assessment or assessments or real property taxes payable on a lump sum or which are or may become payable in installments of which the first installment is then a charge or lien and has become payable, the Seller shall pay or cause to be paid at the Closing the unpaid installments of such assessments, including those which are payable after the Closing Date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller agrees to collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities all sales and use taxes required by Law to be collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date.  Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Buyer harmless from and against any Liability the Buyer may incur by reason of the failure of Seller to collect and remit to the appropriate taxing authorities all sales and use taxes required to be collected by Seller during its period of ownership, which indemnity obligation shall not be subject to the cap on Seller’s liability provided for in Section 15.14.  The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive Closing and not be merged therein.

6.4.    Closing Costs.  Buyer shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction:  (a) all premiums and charges of the Title Company for the Title Commitment and the Owner’s Title Policy to be issued at Closing, including without limitation any charges related to endorsements requested by Buyer, (b) the cost of the Survey, (c) all recording and filing charges in connection with the instrument by which Seller conveys the Property, (d) one-half of all escrow or closing charges, (e) all recordation taxes, sales taxes and similar charges, if any, applicable to the transfer of the Property to Buyer (but not the Grantor tax referenced below), and (f) all fees due its attorneys and all costs of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including, without limitation, fees due its consultants.  Seller shall pay the following costs and expenses associated with the Transaction:  (i) the commission due Seller’s Broker pursuant to a separate agreement with Seller’s Broker, (ii) all fees due its attorneys, (iii) the Grantor tax owed in connection with the transfer of the Property, (iv) all costs incurred by Seller in connection with causing the Title Company to Remove any Required Exceptions; and (v) one-half of all escrow or closing charges.  All other closing costs shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in accordance with local custom.  The obligations of the parties under this Section 6.4 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
6.5.    Security Deposits.  No security deposit is being held by Seller pursuant to the Lease, and therefore, the parties acknowledge and agree that no credit is due as a result of the Security Deposit.  
6.6.    Contracts.  Fees and charges under the Contracts (other than the Contracts that are to be terminated or which are not assumed by Buyer at Closing in accordance with Section 10.2.6) shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent billing statement rendered to Seller by the applicable service provider and, after an actual statement is received, a copy shall be delivered to Buyer or Seller, as applicable, and the apportionment of such charges hereunder shall be recomputed if necessary.
6.7.    Utility Readings.  If (i) there are any water, gas or electric meters located at the Property and (ii) the tenant under the Lease is not responsible for paying such water, gas or electric bills and charges directly to the utility provider, then Seller shall obtain readings thereof to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the per diem basis on the basis of such readings.  If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available.  Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, shall make prompt payment to the other based upon such recalculations.  For purposes of 

18
36131870_4

clarity, the Buyer and Seller agree that no proration for water, gas, electric or other utilities shall be made between Buyer and Seller to the extent that the tenant under the Lease is responsible for paying such utilities directly to the utility provider.  
6.8.    Insurance Premiums.  No insurance policies of the Seller are to be assigned or otherwise transferred to the Buyer, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.
6.9.    Reserved.
6.10.    Apportionment Credit.  In the event the apportionments to be made at the Closing result in a credit balance (a) to Buyer, such sum shall be paid at the Closing by giving Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such credit balance, or (b) to Seller, Buyer shall pay the amount thereof to Seller at the Closing by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts to be designated by Seller for the payment of the Purchase Price. 
6.11.    Delayed Adjustment; Delivery of Operating and Other Financial Statements.  If at any time following the Closing Date, the amount of an item listed in any section of this Article 6 shall prove to be incorrect (whether as a result of an error in calculation or a lack of complete and accurate information as of the Closing) or otherwise require adjustment as a result of any year-end or periodic reconciliations of reimbursable operating expenses or tax payments by a tenant under a Lease, the party owing money as a result of such error or adjustment shall promptly pay to the other party the sum necessary to correct such error or make such adjustment upon receipt of proof of the same, provided that such proof is received by the party from whom payment is to be made on or before one (1) year after Closing (such period being referred to herein as the “Post Closing Adjustment Period”).  In order to enable Seller to determine whether any such delayed adjustment is necessary, Buyer shall provide to Seller current operating and financial statements for the Property and copies of any correspondence and statements sent to the Tenant in connection with any reconciliation promptly after the same are prepared, but, in any event, no later than the date one (1) month prior to the expiration of the Post-Closing Adjustment Period.  
6.12.    Estimates.  If any of the foregoing items of income or expense cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the amounts which are to be apportioned, such items shall be apportioned on the basis of a good faith estimate by the parties and adjusted and reconciled as soon as practicable after the Closing Date; provided, however, all such adjustments and reconciliations shall occur no later than one (1) year after the Closing Date.
6.13.    Reserved.

The provisions of Sections 6.10, 6.11 and 6.12 shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year after Closing and not be merged therein.

None of the representations contained in this Section 9.2.3 shall be deemed to cover or include any holder of any publicly traded interest in Seller.

	If at or prior to the Closing, Buyer obtains actual knowledge or Buyer is deemed to know that any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing).  If at or prior to the Closing, Seller or the Designated Representative obtains actual knowledge or the Designated Representative is deemed to know that any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof within five (5) Business Days of obtaining such knowledge (but, in any event, prior to the Closing).

to do so, then Buyer, as its sole remedies for any and all such misrepresentations or breaches, shall have the following rights:

Without limiting Seller’s liability for a breach of any Seller Warranty, Buyer hereby agrees that Buyer shall accept the Property subject to, and Seller shall have no obligation to cure, (a) any violations of Laws, or (b) any physical conditions which would give rise to violations of Laws, whether the same now exist or arise prior to Closing.

If either Seller or Buyer is required by applicable Law to issue a Release, such party shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed Release to the other party for its review and approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld.  As used herein, the term “Release” shall mean any press release or public statement with respect to the Transaction or this Agreement, the principal purpose of which is to announce the Transaction, and shall not include Securities Law Disclosures, which shall be governed by Section 10.1.1.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall any such Releases of the Seller identify the Buyer without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which may be withheld in the Buyer’s sole discretion.

ARTICLE 11 
 
FAILURE OF CONDITIONS
11.1.    To Seller’s Obligations.  If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Buyer is in default of any of its material obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Buyer’s representations or warranties are, in the aggregate, untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Buyer’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, may elect to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, promptly after which the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction. 
11.2.    To Buyer’s Obligations.  If, on or before the Closing Date, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder in any material respect, or (ii) any of Seller’s Warranties are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) Business Days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, the Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its Diligence Costs and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction, or (c) seek specific performance of this Agreement by Seller.  As a condition precedent to Buyer exercising any right it may have to bring an action for specific performance hereunder, Buyer must commence such an action within ninety (90) days after the occurrence of Seller’s default.  Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such ninety (90) day 

37
36131870_4

period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property.  If the Closing fails to occur for any other reason except as set forth in the first sentence of this Section 11.2, then Buyer shall only have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, to (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or (2) waive the condition and proceed to close the Transaction. 
ARTICLE 12 
 
CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY
12.1.    Right to Terminate.  If, after the Commencement Date, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed (excluding routine wear and tear), Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof.  If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the Commencement Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than ten (10) Business Days after the giving of Seller’s notice, and the Closing Date shall be extended, if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer to make such election.  The failure by Buyer to so elect in writing to terminate this Agreement within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed an election to terminate this Agreement.  If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 12.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and, thereafter, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party to this Agreement shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than any arising under any section herein which expressly provides that it shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
12.2.    Allocation of Proceeds and Awards.  If a condemnation or casualty occurs after the date hereof and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, Buyer shall acquire the Property (or so much thereof as shall not have been actually taken as of the Closing Date) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein and at the Closing: 
		
	(a)
	if the awards or proceeds, as the case may be, have been paid to Seller prior to Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to (i) the amount of any such award or proceeds on account of such condemnation or casualty, plus (ii) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, 

38
36131870_4

an amount equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less (iii) an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts; and 
		
	(b)
	to the extent that such award or proceeds have not been paid to Seller prior to Closing, (i) if a casualty has occurred and such casualty is an insured casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing equal to Seller’s deductible with respect to such casualty, less an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts, and (ii) Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (without recourse to Seller) the rights of Seller to, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and retain, such awards or proceeds; provided, however, that within ten (10) Business Days after actual receipt of such awards or proceeds, Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the Seller-Allocated Amounts not previously paid to Seller. 

12.3.    Waiver.  The provisions of this Article 12 supersede the provisions of any applicable Laws with respect to the subject matter of this Article 12 and shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) only with respect to any proceeds that may be due and payable to Buyer pursuant to this Article 12.  
ARTICLE 13 
 
ESCROW PROVISIONS
Escrow Agent has received the Deposit.  The Deposit and any other sums (including, without limitation, any interest earned thereon) which the parties agree shall be held in escrow (herein collectively called the “Escrow Deposits”), shall be held by the Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions: 
		
	(a)
	The Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Deposits in interest-bearing money market accounts at JP Morgan Chase, shall not commingle the Escrow Deposits with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Buyer and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. 

		
	(b)
	If the Closing occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to, or upon the instructions of, Seller on the Closing Date. 

		
	(c)
	If the Closing does not occur on account of Buyer’s timely termination of this Agreement during the Due Diligence Period in accordance with Section 5.3, then Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Buyer promptly upon Buyer’s unilateral request for the same. 

39
36131870_4

		
	(d)
	If for any other reason the Closing does not occur, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Escrow Deposits to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this Subsection 13(d).  If for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand upon the Escrow Agent for payment of the Escrow Deposits, the Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of such demand.  If the Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice, the Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment.  If the Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, the Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. 

		
	(e)
	The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for fraud and gross negligence only (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements).  Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all Liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith in disregard of this Agreement or involving fraud or gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Escrow Agent incurs any such Liabilities in connection with a dispute between Seller and Buyer, then the non-prevailing party in such dispute shall be responsible for all such Liabilities. 

		
	(f)
	Buyer shall pay any income taxes on any interest earned on the Escrow Deposits.  Buyer represents and warrants to the Escrow Agent that its taxpayer identification number is 45-4071747.

		
	(g)
	The Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that the Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Escrow Deposits in escrow, and shall disburse the Escrow Deposits pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13.

LEASING MATTERS 
14.1.    New Lease; Lease Modifications.  After the Commencement Date, except as may be permitted by the terms of this Section 14.1, Seller shall not, without Buyer’s prior written consent, (a) enter into a new lease for the Property; (b) modify, amend or terminate the Lease; or (c) consent to any assignment or sublease in connection with the Lease.  Seller shall furnish Buyer with a written notice of the proposed transaction which shall contain information that Seller believes is reasonably necessary to enable Buyer to make informed decisions with respect to the advisability of the proposed transaction.  If Buyer fails to object in writing to any such proposed transaction within five (5) Business Days after receipt of the aforementioned information, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed transaction.  Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall be entitled to grant or withhold its consent with respect to any such transaction that is proposed between the date of this Agreement and the Closing.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Lease requires that the landlord’s consent be given under the applicable circumstances (or not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), then Buyer agrees to not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its consent to such transaction.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with prior written notice (which may be given by e-mail) of any consent given by Seller in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence.  Seller shall deliver to Buyer a true and complete copy of each such new lease, renewal or extension agreement, modification, or amendment, as the case may be, promptly after the execution and delivery thereof. 
14.2.    Lease Enforcement.  Between the Commencement Date and the Closing, Seller shall enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under the Lease in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease, and may apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by the Tenant, provided the same is done in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Lease and provided that Seller obtains Buyer’s prior consent in connection with any such enforcement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period but which consent may be withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion following expiration of the Due Diligence Period.  Between the Commencement Date and the Closing (or any earlier termination of this Agreement), Seller shall enforce its rights and remedies under the Lease in a manner consistent with its past practices.  Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, between the Commencement Date and the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not initiate or institute any summary proceedings or other eviction proceedings against Tenant without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion.

41
36131870_4

ARTICLE 15 
 
MISCELLANEOUS 
15.1.    Buyer’s Assignment.  
		
	(a)
	Buyer shall not assign this Agreement or its rights hereunder to any individual or entity without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent Seller may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion, and any such assignment shall be null and void ab initio.

		
	(b)
	Notwithstanding the terms of paragraph (a), Buyer shall have the right to assign this Agreement to a wholly-owned subsidiary or affiliate of Buyer or as provided in Section 15.19 without Seller’s consent so long as Buyer complies with the terms of paragraphs (c) and (d) here-in-below or such Section 15.19, as applicable.

		
	(c)
	In the event Buyer intends to assign its rights hereunder:

		
	(i)
	Buyer shall send Seller written notice of its request at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, which notice shall include the legal name of the proposed assignee and evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller of the valid legal existence of Buyer’s assignee, its qualification (if necessary) to do business in the jurisdiction in which the Property is located; and 

		
	(ii)
	Buyer shall provide Seller any other information that Seller may reasonably request with respect to the proposed assignee; and 

		
	(iii)
	Buyer and the proposed assignee shall execute an assignment and assumption of this Agreement pursuant to which Buyer’s obligations hereunder are expressly assumed by such assignee.

		
	(d)
	Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary:

		
	(i)
	Any permitted assignment by Buyer shall not relieve Buyer of any of its obligations and liabilities hereunder including obligations and liabilities which survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement, nor shall any such assignment alter, impair or relieve such assignee from the waivers, acknowledgements and agreements of Buyer set forth herein, including, but not limited to, those set forth 

42
36131870_4

in Article 5, Article 9 and Article 10 hereof, all of which will be binding upon any assignee of Buyer. 
		
	(ii)
	No transfer by Buyer of any interest in this Agreement shall be permitted if the same would cause the representations and warranties made in Section 9.1.3 to be untrue, inaccurate or incomplete and Buyer covenants to cooperate with Seller’s requests to provide  documentation  reasonably  necessary  or desirable for Seller to verify that such representations and warranties are true, accurate and complete at all times prior to Closing. 

15.2.    Designation Agreement.  Section 6045(e) of the United States Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder (herein collectively called the “Reporting Requirements”) require an information return to be made to the United States Internal Revenue Service, and a statement to be furnished to Seller, in connection with the Transaction.  Escrow Agent is either (x) the person responsible for closing the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements) or (y) the disbursing title or escrow company that is most significant in terms of gross proceeds disbursed in connection with the Transaction (as described in the Reporting Requirements).  Accordingly: 
		
	(a)
	Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “Reporting Person” (as defined in the Reporting Requirements) for the Transaction.  Escrow Agent shall perform all duties that are required by the Reporting Requirements to be performed by the Reporting Person for the Transaction. 

		
	(b)
	Seller and Buyer shall furnish to Escrow Agent, in a timely manner, any information reasonably requested by Escrow Agent and necessary for Escrow Agent to perform its duties as Reporting Person for the Transaction. 

		
	(c)
	Escrow Agent hereby requests Seller to furnish to Escrow Agent Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number.  Seller acknowledges that any failure by Seller to provide Escrow Agent with Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number may subject Seller to civil or criminal penalties imposed by law.  Accordingly, Seller hereby certifies to Escrow Agent, under penalties of perjury, that Seller’s correct taxpayer identification number is 20-8136516. 

		
	(d)
	Each of the parties hereto shall retain this Agreement for a period of four (4) years following the calendar year during which Closing occurs.  The provisions of this Section 15.2 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein).

36131870_4

Except for the provisions of this Agreement which are explicitly stated to survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, (a) none of the terms of this Agreement shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, as the case may be, and (b) the delivery of the Purchase Price, the Deed and the other Closing Documents and the acceptance thereof shall effect a merger, and be deemed the full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Buyer and Seller to be performed hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 15.3 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
15.4.    Integration; Waiver.  This Agreement, together with the Exhibits hereto embodies and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties with respect to the Transaction and all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, oral or written, are merged into this Agreement.  Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, modified, amended, discharged or terminated except by an instrument signed by the party against whom the enforcement of such waiver, modification, amendment, discharge or termination is sought, and then only to the extent set forth in such instrument.  No waiver by either party hereto of any failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply. The provisions of this Section 15.4 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
15.5.    Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the state in which the Property is located.  This provision shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

Seller’s sole obligation in connection with any Exchange shall be to review and execute certain customary documentation reasonably acceptable to Seller necessary to effectuate such Exchange in accordance with the foregoing and the applicable rules governing such exchanges.  Seller shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to any Exchange have its rights under this Agreement modified or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Buyer that any Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.  Seller shall have the right to review and approve any documents to be executed by Seller in connection with any Exchange; provided, however, such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.  

48
36131870_4

Seller shall have no obligation to execute any documents or to undertake any action by which Seller would incur any liability or obligation not otherwise provided for in the other provisions of this Agreement.  Neither the conveyance of title to the Property to Buyer’s designated intermediary, or qualified exchange accommodation title holder (if applicable), nor the Exchange shall amend or modify the representations, warranties and covenants of Buyer to Seller under this Agreement or the survival thereof pursuant to this Agreement in any respect, nor shall any such conveyance or Exchange result in a release of Buyer with respect to such representations, warranties and/or covenants.  At Buyer’s request, the Deed and the other Closing Documents shall be executed by and run in favor of Buyer’s designated intermediary or qualified exchange accommodation title holder; provided, however, that Buyer shall remain obligated to Seller for any obligation to Seller under such Closing Documents.  The Closing Date shall not be extended as a result of any Exchange.  Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all Liabilities arising from any Exchange (other than what would have been applicable under this Agreement without such Exchange), which indemnification agreement shall expressly survive the Closing and not be merged therein.  Buyer further acknowledges that any Exchange is at the request and initiation of Buyer, and Seller in no manner, expressly or implicitly, participated in or offered tax advice or planning to or for the benefit of Buyer.  Buyer is relying solely upon the advice and counsel of professionals of the Buyer’s choice in structuring, executing and consummating any Exchange. 
15.20.    Attorneys’ Fees.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any lawsuit or arbitration or other legal proceeding arises in connection with the interpretation or enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party therein shall be entitled to receive from the other party the prevailing party’s costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, in preparation therefor and on appeal therefrom, which amounts shall be included in any judgment therein. This provision shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement. 
15.21.    Financials.  Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the books and records of Seller related to the operation of the Property with respect to the Property at reasonable times and on reasonable notice for the purpose of preparing audited financial statements for the Property with respect to the past three (3) full calendar years and the stub 2013 period, such financial statements to be prepared at Buyer’s sole cost and expense.  Seller’s obligations under this Section 15.21 shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.
15.22.    Allocation of Liability.  It is expressly understood and agreed that the Seller shall be liable to third parties for any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of the Seller that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing, and, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the documents delivered at Closing, the Buyer shall 

49
36131870_4

be liable to third parties for any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses arising out of events, contractual obligations, acts, or omissions of Buyer that occur in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property after the Closing.  The provisions of this Section 15.22 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement.
15.23.    Trading in Buyer’s Securities.  The Seller hereby acknowledges, and the Seller agrees to advise its representatives who are informed of the matters that are the subject of this Agreement, that the United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received from the issuer of such securities material, nonpublic information concerning the matters that are the subject of this Agreement from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information, and the Seller hereby agrees for the benefit of the Buyer and its affiliates to be bound by such prohibitions.  Neither party expresses a view as to whether or not any portion or all of the information regarding this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby constitutes, or in the future may constitute, material, nonpublic information with respect to the Buyer and its affiliates.  The provisions of this Section 15.23 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein) or any earlier termination of this Agreement
15.24.    STATEMENT CONCERNING LIMITED LIABILITY.  THE DECLARATION OF TRUST ESTABLISHING THE BUYER, DATED DECEMBER 19, 2011, AS AMENDED AND SUPPLEMENTED, AS FILED WITH THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ASSESSMENTS AND TAXATION OF MARYLAND, PROVIDES THAT NO TRUSTEE, OFFICER, SHAREHOLDER, EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE BUYER SHALL BE HELD TO ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY, JOINTLY OR SEVERALLY, FOR ANY OBLIGATION OF, OR CLAIM AGAINST, THE BUYER.  ALL PERSONS DEALING WITH THE BUYER IN ANY WAY SHALL LOOK ONLY TO THE ASSETS OF THE BUYER FOR THE PAYMENT OF ANY SUM OR THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 15.24 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING (AND NOT BE MERGED THEREIN) OR ANY EARLIER TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
15.25.    Escrow Holdback.  In order to secure Seller’s surviving covenants, representations and warranties under this Agreement, Seller shall deposit the Holdback Amount with the Escrow Agent at Closing for the duration of the Survival Period, to be held and administered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the terms of the Escrow Holdback Agreement.  Buyer and Seller agree that during the Survival Period Seller shall have the right to provide Buyer with (i) a letter of credit in the amount of the Holdback Amount issued by a bank acceptable to Buyer and in form and substance otherwise acceptable to Buyer, or (ii) a guaranty from a creditworthy entity acceptable to Buyer and the form and substance of which 

50
36131870_4

guaranty shall be acceptable to Buyer, and  in the event that Seller provides Buyer with such letter of credit or guaranty, then at such time as such letter of credit or executed guaranty is delivered to Buyer, the Holdback Amount (or applicable portion thereof which has not been previously drawn down and released to Buyer in accordance with the Escrow Holdback Agreement) shall be released to Seller.   The provisions of this Section 15.25 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged therein).

If, as of the Outside Date, Escrow Agent shall not have received a Joint Notice or a Purchaser Claim Notice pursuant to Section 3(b) below, Escrow Agent shall promptly pay the Escrow Holdback to Seller.   If Purchaser delivers a Purchaser Claim Notice pursuant to Section 3(b) below at any time on or prior to the Outside Date, the Escrow Holdback (or applicable portion thereof) shall be disbursed in accordance with Section 3(b), (c) and (d) below.
(b)    In the event that Purchaser has any claims against Seller pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Purchaser shall have the right from time to time to deliver a written claim notice (a “Purchaser Claim Notice”) to Seller and Escrow Agent that (i) identifies in reasonable detail the nature of such claim and the amount Purchaser is entitled to receive from Seller pursuant to the terms of the Contract, and (ii) instructs Escrow Agent to release the Escrow Holdback (or applicable portion thereof) to Purchaser.
