Exhibit 10.5
VERACYTE, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED CHANGE OF CONTROL AND SEVERANCE AGREEMENT
This Amended and Restated Change of Control and Severance Agreement (the “Agreement”) is made and entered into by and between John Hanna (“Executive”) and Veracyte, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), effective as of July 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”).  This Agreement amends and restates the Change of Control and Severance Agreement by and between the Executive and the Company, effective as of October 23, 2018 (the “Prior Agreement”).
RECITALS
1.    The Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board’’) believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders (i) to assure that the Company will have the continued dedication and objectivity of Executive, notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or occurrence of a Change of Control and (ii) to provide Executive with an incentive to continue Executive’s employment prior to a Change of Control and to motivate Executive to maximize the value of the Company upon a Change of Control for the benefit of its stockholders.
2.    The Board believes that it is imperative to provide Executive with certain severance benefits upon Executive’s termination of employment under certain circumstances. These benefits will provide Executive with enhanced financial security and incentive and encouragement to remain with the Company notwithstanding the possibility of a Change of Control.
3.    Certain capitalized terms used in the Agreement are defined in Section 6 below.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.Term of Agreement. This Agreement will have an initial term of four (4) years commencing on March 1, 2017 (the “Initial Term”). On March 1, 2021, this Agreement will renew automatically for additional one (1) year terms (each an “Additional Term”), unless either party provides the other party with written notice of non-renewal at least sixty (60) days prior to the date of automatic renewal. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, if a Change of Control occurs when there are fewer than twelve (12) months remaining during the Initial Term or an Additional Term, the term of this Agreement will extend automatically through the date that is twelve (12) months following the effective date of the Change of Control. If Executive becomes entitled to benefits under Section 3 during the term of this Agreement, the Agreement will not terminate until all of the obligations of the parties hereto with respect to this Agreement have been satisfied.
2.    At-Will Employment. The Company and Executive acknowledge that Executive’s employment is and will continue to be at-will, as defined under applicable law. As an at-will employee, either the Company or the Executive may terminate the employment relationship at any time, with or without Cause.
3.    Severance Benefits.

        

(a)    Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason Unrelated to a Change of Control. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or if Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason, and such termination occurs outside of the Change of Control Period, then subject to Section 4, Executive will receive the following:
(i)    Accrued Compensation. The Company will pay Executive all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to Executive under any Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.
(ii)    Continuing Severance Payments. Executive will be paid continuing payments of severance pay at a rate equal to Executive’s base salary rate, as then in effect, for six (6) months from the date of such termination of employment to be paid periodically in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll policies.
(iii)    Continuation Coverage. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended (“COBRA”) within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, then the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of (A) a period of six (6) months from the date of termination or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans. The reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3(a)(iii), if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment, payable on the last day of a given month, in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the termination of employment date (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to six (6) payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA reimbursements may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.
(b)    Termination without Cause or Resignation for Good Reason in Connection with a Change of Control. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment with the Company without Cause (excluding death or Disability) or if Executive resigns from such employment for Good Reason, and, in each case, such termination occurs during the Change of Control Period, then subject to Section 4, Executive will receive the following:
(i)    Accrued Compensation. The Company will pay Executive all accrued but unpaid vacation, expense reimbursements, wages, and other benefits due to Executive under any Company-provided plans, policies, and arrangements.
(ii)    Severance Payment. Executive will receive a lump-sum payment (less applicable withholding taxes) equal to eighteen (18)  months of Executive’s annual base salary as in effect 

2    

immediately prior to Executive’s termination date or, if greater, at the level in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, if (x) Executive incurred a termination prior to a Change of Control that qualifies Executive for severance payments under Section 3(a)(ii); and (y) a Change of Control occurs within the two (2)-month period following Executive’s termination of employment that qualifies Executive for the superior benefits under this Section 3(b)(ii), then Executive shall be entitled to a lump-sum payment of the amount calculated under this Section 3(b)(ii), less amounts already paid under Section 3(a)(ii) and such amount lump-sum amount shall be payable upon the later of: (A) the Change of Control, (B) the date the Release (as defined below) is effective and irrevocable; or (C) such later date required by Section 4(c).
(iii)    Bonus Payment. Executive will receive a lump-sum payment equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the higher of (A) the greater of (x) Executive’s target bonus for the fiscal year in which the Change of Control occurs (as in effect immediately prior to the Change of Control) or (y) Executive’s target bonus as in effect for the fiscal year in which Executive’s termination of employment occurs, or (B) Executive’s actual bonus for performance during the calendar year prior to the calendar year during which the termination of employment occurs. For avoidance of doubt, the amount paid to Executive pursuant to this Section 3(b)(iii) will not be prorated based on the actual amount of time Executive is employed by the Company during the fiscal year (or the relevant performance period if something different than a fiscal year) during which the termination occurs.
(iv)    Continuation Coverage. If Executive elects continuation coverage pursuant to COBRA within the time period prescribed pursuant to COBRA for Executive and Executive’s eligible dependents, then the Company will reimburse Executive for the COBRA premiums for such coverage (at the coverage levels in effect immediately prior to Executive’s termination) until the earlier of(A) a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of termination or (B) the date upon which Executive and/or Executive’s eligible dependents become covered under similar plans. The reimbursements will be made by the Company to Executive consistent with the Company’s normal expense reimbursement policy. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 3(b)(iv), if the Company determines in its sole discretion that it cannot provide the foregoing benefit without potentially violating, or being subject to an excise tax under, applicable law (including, without limitation, Section 2716 of the Public Health Service Act), the Company will in lieu thereof provide to Executive a taxable monthly payment, payable on the last day of a given month, in an amount equal to the monthly COBRA premium that Executive would be required to pay to continue Executive’s group health coverage in effect on the termination of employment date (which amount will be based on the premium for the first month of COBRA coverage), which payments will be made regardless of whether Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage and will commence on the month following Executive’s termination of employment and will end on the earlier of (x) the date upon which Executive obtains other employment or (y) the date the Company has paid an amount equal to eighteen (18)payments. For the avoidance of doubt, the taxable payments in lieu of COBRA reimbursements may be used for any purpose, including, but not limited to continuation coverage under COBRA, and will be subject to all applicable tax withholdings.
(v)    Accelerated Vesting of Equity Awards. One hundred percent (100%) of Executive’s then-outstanding and unvested Equity Awards will become vested in full. If, however, an outstanding Equity Award is to vest and/or the amount of the award to vest is to be determined based on the achievement of performance criteria, then the Equity Award will vest as to one hundred percent (100%) of the amount of the Equity Award assuming the performance criteria had been achieved at target levels for the relevant performance period(s).

3    

(c)    Voluntary Resignation; Termination for Cause. If Executive’s employment with the Company terminates (i) voluntarily by Executive (other than for Good Reason) or (ii) for Cause by the Company, then Executive will not be entitled to receive severance or other benefits except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
(d)    Disability; Death. If the Company terminates Executive’s employment as a result of Executive’s Disability, or Executive’s employment terminates due to Executive’s death, then Executive will not be entitled to receive any other severance or other benefits, except for those (if any) as may then be established under the Company’s then existing written severance and benefits plans and practices or pursuant to other written agreements with the Company.
(e)    Exclusive Remedy. In the event of a termination of Executive’s employment as set forth in Section 3(a) or (b) of this Agreement, the provisions of Section 3 are intended to be and are exclusive and in lieu of any other rights or remedies to which Executive or the Company otherwise may be entitled, whether at law, tort or contract, in equity, or under this Agreement (other than the payment of accrued but unpaid wages, as required by law, and any unreimbursed reimbursable expenses). Executive will be entitled to no benefits, compensation or other payments or rights upon a termination of employment other than those benefits expressly set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement.
4.    Conditions to Receipt of Severance
(a)    Release of Claims Agreement. The receipt of any severance payments or benefits (other than the accrued benefits set forth in either Sections 3(a)(i) or 3(b)(i)) pursuant to this Agreement is subject to Executive signing and not revoking a separation agreement and release of claims in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Release”), which must become effective and irrevocable no later than the sixtieth (60th) day following Executive’s termination of employment (the “Release Deadline”). If the Release does not become effective and irrevocable by the Release Deadline, Executive will forfeit any right to severance payments or benefits under this Agreement. In no event will severance payments or benefits be paid or provided until the Release actually becomes effective and irrevocable.
(b)    Confidential Information and Invention Assignment Agreements. Executive’s receipt of any payments or benefits under Section 3 (other than the accrued benefits set forth in either Sections 3(a)(i) or 3(b)(i)) will be subject to Executive continuing to comply with the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, dated on or about September 12, 2011, between the Company and Executive, as such agreement may be amended from time to time.
(c)    Section 409A.
(i)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no severance pay or benefits to be paid or provided to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that, when considered together with any other severance payments or separation benefits, are considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and the final regulations and any guidance promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”) (together, the “Deferred Payments”) will be paid or otherwise provided until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A. Similarly, no severance payable to Executive, if any, pursuant to this Agreement that otherwise would be exempt from Section 409A pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-1(b)(9) will be payable until Executive has a “separation from service” within the meaning of Section 409A.

4    

(ii)    It is intended that none of the severance payments under this Agreement will constitute Deferred Payments but rather will be exempt from Section 409A as a payment that would fall within the “short-term deferral period” as described in Section 4(c)(iv) below or resulting from an involuntary separation from service as described in Section 4(c)(v) below.  Any severance payments or benefits under this Agreement will be paid on, or, in the case of installments, will commence on, the sixty-first (61st) day following Executive’s separation from service, or, if later, such time as required by Section 4(c)(iii). Except as required by Section 4(c)(iii), any installment payments that would have been made to Executive during the sixty (60) day period immediately following Executive’s separation from service but for the preceding sentence will be paid to Executive on the sixty-first (61st) day following Executive’s separation from service and the remaining payments will be made as provided in this Agreement.
(iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Executive is a “specified employee” within the meaning of Section 409A at the time of Executive’s termination (other than due to death), then the Deferred Payments, if any, that are payable within the first six (6) months following Executive’s separation from service, will become payable on the first payroll date that occurs on or after the date six (6) months and one (I) day following the date of Executive’s separation from service. All subsequent Deferred Payments, if any, will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if Executive dies following Executive’s separation from service, but before the six (6) month anniversary of the separation from service, then any payments delayed in accordance with this paragraph will be payable in a lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after the date of Executive’s death and all other Deferred Payments will be payable in accordance with the payment schedule applicable to each payment or benefit. Each payment and benefit payable under this Agreement is intended to constitute a separate payment under Section 1.409A-2(b)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.
(iv)    Any amount paid under this Agreement that satisfies the requirements of the “short-term deferral” rule set forth in Section 1.409A-1(b)(4) of the Treasury Regulations will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above.
(v)    Any amount paid under this Agreement that qualifies as a payment made as a result of an involuntary separation from service pursuant to Section 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) of the Treasury Regulations that does not exceed the Section 409A Limit (as defined below) will not constitute Deferred Payments for purposes of clause (i) above.
(vi)    The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. The Company and Executive agree to work together in good faith to consider amendments to this Agreement and to take such reasonable actions which are necessary, appropriate or desirable to avoid imposition of any additional tax or income recognition before actual payment to Executive under Section 409A.
5.    Limitation on Payments. In the event that the severance and other benefits provided for in this Agreement or otherwise payable to Executive (i) constitute “parachute payments” within the meaning of Section 280G of the Code, and (ii) but for this Section 5, would be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, then Executive’s benefits under Section 3 will be either:
(a)    delivered in full, or

5    

(b)    delivered as to such lesser extent which would result in no portion of such benefits being subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, whichever of the foregoing amounts, taking into account the applicable federal, state and local income taxes and the excise tax imposed by Section 4999, results in the receipt by Executive on an after-tax basis, of the greatest amount of benefits, notwithstanding that all or some portion of such benefits may be taxable under Section 4999 of the Code. If a reduction in severance and other benefits constituting “parachute payments” is necessary so that benefits are delivered to a lesser extent, reduction will occur in the following order: (i) reduction of cash payments; (ii) cancellation of awards granted “contingent on a change in ownership or control” (within the meaning of Code Section 280G), (iii) cancellation of accelerated vesting of equity awards; (iv) reduction of employee benefits. In the event that acceleration of vesting of equity award compensation is to be reduced, such acceleration of vesting will be cancelled in the reverse order of the date of grant of Executive’s equity awards.
Unless the Company and Executive otherwise agree in writing, any determination required under this Section 5 will be made in writing by the Company’s independent public accountants immediately prior to a Change of Control or such other person or entity to which the parties mutually agree (the “Firm”), whose determination will be conclusive and binding upon Executive and the Company. For purposes of making the calculations required by this Section 5, the Firm may make reasonable assumptions and approximations concerning applicable taxes and may rely on reasonable, good faith interpretations concerning the application of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. The Company and Executive will furnish to the Firm such information and documents as the Firm may reasonably request in order to make a determination under this Section. The Company will bear all costs the Firm may incur in connection with any calculations contemplated by this Section 5.
6.    Definition of Terms. The following terms referred to in this Agreement will have the following meanings:
(a)    Cause. “Cause” will mean:
(i)    The willful or grossly negligent failure of the Executive to substantially perform his or her duties as an employee of the Company;
(ii)    Executive’s commission of a gross misconduct which is injurious to the Company;
(iii)    Executive’s breach of a material provision of any agreement between Executive and the Company;
(iv)    Executive’s material and willful violation of a federal or state law or regulation applicable to the business of the Company;
(v)    Executive’s misappropriation or embezzlement of Company funds or Executive’s act of fraud or dishonesty upon the Company; or
(vi)    Executive’s conviction of, or plea of nolo contendere, to a felony (other than motor vehicle offenses the effect of which do not materially impair Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties for the Company).
The Company will not terminate Executive’s employment for Cause without first providing Executive with written notice specifically identifying the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for a Cause 

6    

termination and, with respect to clauses (i), (iii) and (iv), a reasonable opportunity to cure (to the extent curable) for a period of not less than ten (10) business days following such notice.
The determination as to whether Executive is being terminated for Cause will be made in good faith by the Board and will be final and binding on Executive. The foregoing definition does not in any way limit the Company’s ability to terminate Executive’s employment relationship at any time as provided in Section 2 above, and the term “Company” will be interpreted to include any subsidiary, parent, affiliate or successor thereto, if applicable.
(b)    Change of Control. “Change of Control” means the occurrence of any of the following events:
(i)    A change in the ownership of the Company which occurs on the date that any one person, or more than one person acting as a group (“Person”), acquires ownership of the stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such Person, constitutes more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection, the acquisition of additional stock by any one Person, who is considered to own more than fifty percent (50%) of the total voting power of the stock of the Company will not be considered a Change of Control; or 
(ii)    A change in the effective control of the Company which occurs on the date that a majority of members of the Board is replaced during any twelve (12) month period by Directors whose appointment or election is not endorsed by a majority of the members of the Board prior to the date of the appointment or election. For purposes of this clause (ii), if any Person is considered to be in effective control of the Company, the acquisition of additional control of the Company by the same Person will not be considered a Change of Control; or
(iii)    A change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets which occurs on the date that any Person acquires (or has acquired during the twelve (12) month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons) assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than fifty percent (50%) of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately prior to such acquisition or acquisitions; provided, however, that for purposes of this subsection (iii), the following will not constitute a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the Company’s assets: (A) a transfer to an entity that is controlled by the Company’s stockholders immediately after the transfer, or (B) a transfer of assets by the Company to: (1) a stockholder of the Company (immediately before the asset transfer) in exchange for or with respect to the Company’s stock, (2) an entity, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by the Company, (3) a Person, that owns, directly or indirectly, fifty percent (50%) or more of the total value or voting power of all the outstanding stock of the Company, or (4) an entity, at least fifty percent (50%) of the total value or voting power of which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a Person described in this subsection (iii)(B)(3). For purposes of this subsection (iii), gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
For purposes of this definition, persons will be considered to be acting as a group if they are owners of a corporation that enters into a merger, consolidation, purchase or acquisition of stock, or similar business transaction with the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a transaction will not be deemed a Change of Control unless the transaction qualifies as a change in control event within the meaning of Code Section 409A, as it has been 

7    

and may be amended from time to time, and any proposed or final Treasury Regulations and Internal Revenue Service guidance that has been promulgated or may be promulgated thereunder from time to time.
Further and for the avoidance of doubt, a transaction will not constitute a Change of Control if: (i) its sole purpose is to change the state of the Company’s incorporation, or (ii) its sole purpose is to create a holding company that will be owned in substantially the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction.
(c)    Change of Control Period. “Change of Control Period’’ will mean the period beginning two (2) months prior to, and ending twelve (12) months following, a Change of Control.
(d)     Code. “Code” will mean the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
(e)    Disability. “Disability” will mean that Executive has been unable to engage in any substantial gainful activity 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 twelve (12) months. Alternatively, Executive will be deemed disabled if determined to be totally disabled by the Social Security Administration. Termination resulting from Disability may only be effected after at least thirty (30) days’ written notice by the Company of its intention to terminate Executive’s employment. In the event that Executive resumes the performance of substantially all of Executive’s duties hereunder before the termination of Executive’s employment becomes effective, the notice of intent to terminate based on Disability will automatically be deemed to have been revoked.
(f)    Equity Awards. “Equity Awards” will mean Executive’s outstanding stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance stock units and any other Company equity compensation awards.
(g)    Good Reason. “Good Reason” will mean termination of employment within forty-five (45) days following the expiration of any cure period (discussed below) following the occurrence of one or more of the following, without Executive’s express written consent:
(i)    a material reduction of Executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities relative to Executive’s authorities, duties or responsibilities in effect immediately prior to such reduction;
(ii)    a material reduction in Executive’s base salary and/or target bonus opportunity, other than a reduction applicable to similarly situated employees generally that does not adversely affect Executive to a greater extent than other similarly situated employees;
(iii)    the relocation of Executive’s principal place of performing his or her duties as an employee of the Company by more than fifty (50) miles; or
(iv)    a successor of the Company as set forth in Section 7(a) hereof does not assume this Agreement.
In order for an event to qualify as Good Reason, Executive must not terminate employment with the Company without first providing the Company with written notice of the acts or omissions constituting the grounds for “Good Reason” within ninety (90) days of the initial existence of the grounds for “Good Reason’ and a reasonable cure period of not less than thirty (30) days following the end of such notice.

8    

For purposes of the “Good Reason” definition, the term “Company” will be interpreted to include any subsidiary, parent, affiliate or successor thereto, if applicable.
(h)    Section 409A Limit. “Section 409A Limit” will mean two (2) times the lesser of: Executive’s annualized compensation based upon the annual rate of pay paid to Executive during the Executive’s taxable year preceding the Executive’s taxable year of Executive’s termination of employment as determined under, and with such adjustments as are set forth in, Treasury Regulation 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii)(A)(l) and any Internal Revenue Service guidance issued with respect thereto; or (ii) the maximum amount that may be taken into account under a qualified plan pursuant to Section 401(a)(17) of the Code for the year in which Executive’s employment is terminated.
7.    Successors.
(a)    The Company’s Successors. Any successor to the Company (whether direct or indirect and whether by purchase, merger, consolidation, liquidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the Company’s business and/or assets will assume the obligations under this Agreement and agree expressly to perform the obligations under this Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Company would be required to perform such obligations in the absence of a succession. For all purposes under this Agreement, the term “Company” will include any successor to the Company’s business and/or assets which executes and delivers the assumption agreement described in this Section 7(a) or which becomes bound by the terms of this Agreement by operation of law.
(b)    Executive’s Successors. The terms of this Agreement and all rights of Executive hereunder will inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Executive’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, distributees, devisees and legatees.
8.    Notice.
(a)    General. Notices and all other communications contemplated by this Agreement will be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given when sent electronically or personally delivered when mailed by U.S. registered or certified mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid or when delivered by a private courier service such as UPS, DHL or Federal Express that has tracking capability. In the case of Executive, notices will be sent to the e-mail address or addressed to Executive at the home address, in either case which Executive most recently communicated to the Company in writing. In the case of the Company, electronic notices will be sent to the e-mail address of the Chief Executive Officer and the General Counsel and mailed notices will be addressed to its corporate headquarters, and all notices will be directed to the attention of its Chief Executive Officer and General Counsel.
(b)    Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company for Cause or by Executive for Good Reason will be communicated by a notice of termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with Section 8(a) of this Agreement. Such notice will indicate the specific termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, will set forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances claimed to provide a basis for termination under the provision so indicated, and will specify the termination date (which will be not more than ninety (90) days after the giving of such notice).
9.    Resignation. Upon the termination of Executive’s employment for any reason, Executive will be deemed to have resigned from all officer and/or director positions held at the Company and its affiliates voluntarily, without any further required action by Executive, as of the end of Executive’s employment and Executive, at the Board’s request, will execute any documents reasonably necessary to reflect Executive’s resignation.

9    

10.    Arbitration.
(a)    Arbitration. In consideration of Executive’s employment with the Company, its promise to arbitrate all employment-related disputes, and Executive’s receipt of the compensation, pay raises and other benefits paid to Executive by the Company, at present and in the future, Executive agrees that any and all controversies, claims, or disputes with anyone (including the Company and any employee, officer, director, stockholder or benefit plan of the Company in their capacity as such or otherwise) arising out of, relating to, or resulting from Executive’s employment with the Company or termination thereof, including any breach of this Agreement, will be subject to binding arbitration under the Arbitration Rules set forth in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 1280 through 1294.2, including Section 1281.8 (the “Act” ), and pursuant to California law . The Federal Arbitration Act will also apply with full force and effect, notwithstanding the application of procedural rules set forth under the Act.
(b)    Dispute Resolution. Disputes that Executive agrees to arbitrate, and thereby agrees to waive any right to a trial by jury, include any statutory claims under local, state, or federal law, including, but not limited to, claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act, the Sarbanes Oxley Act, the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, the Family and Medical Leave Act, the California Family Rights Act, the California Labor Code, claims of harassment, discrimination, and wrongful termination, and any statutory or common law claims. Executive further understands that this Agreement to arbitrate also applies to any disputes that the Company may have with Executive.
(c)    Procedure. Executive agrees that any arbitration will be administered by the Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to its Employment Arbitration Rules & Procedures (the “JAMS Rules”). The arbitrator will have the power to decide any motions brought by any party to the arbitration, including motions for summary judgment and/or adjudication, motions to dismiss and demurrers, and motions for class certification, prior to any arbitration hearing. The arbitrator will have the power to award any remedies available under applicable law, and the arbitrator will award attorneys’ fees and costs to the prevailing party, except as prohibited by law. The Company will pay for any administrative or hearing fees charged by the administrator or JAMS, and all arbitrator’s fees, except that Executive will pay any filing fees associated with any arbitration that Executive initiates, but only so much of the filing fee as Executive would have instead paid had Executive filed a complaint in a court of law. Executive agrees that the arbitrator will administer and conduct any arbitration in accordance with California law, including the California Code of Civil Procedure and the California Evidence Code, and that the arbitrator will apply substantive and procedural California law to any dispute or claim, without reference to the rules of conflict of law. To the extent that the JAMS Rules conflict with California law, California law will take precedence. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing. Any arbitration under this Agreement will be conducted in San Mateo County, California.
(d)    Remedy. Except as provided by the Act, arbitration will be the sole, exclusive, and final remedy for any dispute between Executive and the Company. Accordingly, except as provided by the Act and this Agreement, neither Executive nor the Company will be permitted to pursue court action regarding claims that are subject to arbitration. Notwithstanding, the arbitrator will not have the authority to disregard or refuse to enforce any lawful Company policy, and the arbitrator will not order or require the Company to adopt a policy not otherwise required by law which the Company has not adopted.

10

EXHIBIT A
FORM OF RELEASE OF CLAIMS
This release of claims (this “Agreement’) is made by and between Veracyte, Inc. (the “Company”), and John Hanna (“Executive”). The Company and Executive are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Parties” and individually referred to as a “Party.”

3.    Release of Claims. Executive agrees that the consideration to be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Severance Agreement represents settlement in full of all outstanding 

A-1

obligations owed to Executive by the Company and its current and former officers, directors, employees, agents, investors, attorneys, stockholders, administrators, affiliates, benefit plans, plan administrators, insurers, trustees, divisions, and subsidiaries, and predecessor and successor corporations and assigns (collectively, the “Releasees”). Executive, on Executive’s own behalf and on behalf of Executive’s respective heirs, family members, executors, agents, and assigns, hereby and forever releases the Releasees from, and agrees not to sue concerning, or in any manner to institute, prosecute, or pursue, any claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, or cause of action relating to any matters of any kind, whether presently known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, that Executive may possess against any of the Releasees arising from any omissions, acts, facts, or damages that have occurred up until and including the Effective Date of this Agreement, including, without limitation the following:
(a)    any and all claims relating to or arising from Executive’s employment relationship with the Company and the termination of that relationship;

1References to California statutes will only be included in this Agreement if Executive resides in California at the time Executive’s employment relationship is terminated. Otherwise, statutes specific to the state in which Executive resides at the time of termination will be substituted.

(e)    any and all claims for violation of the federal, or any state, constitution;
(f)    any and all claims arising out of any other laws and regulations relating to employment or employment discrimination;

Executive agrees that the release set forth in this Section 3 (the “Release”) will be and remain in effect in all respects as a complete general release as to the matters released. The Release does not extend to any severance obligations due Executive under the Severance Agreement. The Release does not release claims 

A-2    

that cannot be released as a matter of law. Executive represents that Executive has made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, complaint, charge, duty, obligation, demand, cause of action, or other matter waived or released by this Section 3. Nothing in this Agreement waives Executive’s rights to indemnification or any payments under any fiduciary insurance policy, if any, provided by any act or agreement of the Company, state or federal law or policy of insurance.
4.    Protected Rights. Executive understands that nothing in Section 3 above, or otherwise in this Agreement, limits Executive’s ability to file a charge or complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other federal, state or local government agency or commission (“Government Agencies”).  Executive further understands that this Agreement does not limit Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government Agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company.  This Agreement does not limit Executive’s right to receive an award for information provided to any Government Agencies. 
5.    [Acknowledgment of Waiver of Claims under ADEA. Executive acknowledges that Executive is waiving and releasing any rights Executive may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 (“ADEA”) and that this waiver and release is knowing and voluntary. Executive agrees that this waiver and release does not apply to any rights or claims that may arise under the ADEA after the Effective Date of this Agreement. Executive acknowledges that the consideration given for this waiver and release Agreement is in addition to anything of value to which Executive was already entitled. Executive further acknowledges that Executive has been advised by this writing that (a) Executive should consult with an attorney prior to executing this Agreement; (b) Executive has at least 21 days within which to consider this Agreement; (c) Executive has 7 days following the execution of this Agreement by the parties to revoke the Agreement; (d) this Agreement will not be effective until the revocation period has expired; and (e) nothing in this Agreement prevents or precludes Executive from challenging or seeking a determination in good faith of the validity of this waiver under the ADEA, nor does it impose any condition precedent, penalties or costs for doing so, unless specifically authorized by federal law. In the event Executive signs this Agreement and delivers it to the Company in less than the 21-day period identified above, Executive hereby acknowledges that Executive has freely and voluntarily chosen to waive the time period allotted for considering this Agreement. Executive acknowledges and understands that revocation must be accomplished by a written notification to the Chief Legal Officer of the Company that is received prior to the Effective Date.]2 
 2This provision will only be included in this Agreement if Executive is age 40 or older at the time Executive’s employment relationship is terminated.
6.    [California Civil Code Section 1542. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult with legal counsel and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, a statute that otherwise prohibits the release of unknown claims, which provides as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Executive, being aware of California Civil Code Section 1542, agrees to expressly waive any rights Executive may have thereunder, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.

A-3    

OR
Unknown Claims. Executive acknowledges that Executive has been advised to consult with legal counsel and that Executive is familiar with the principle that a general release does not extend to claims that the releaser does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him or her, must have materially affected his or her settlement with the releasee. Executive, being aware of this principle, agrees to expressly waive any rights Executive may have to that effect, as well as under any other statute or common law principles of similar effect.]3 
3If Executive resides in California at the time Executive’s employment relationship is terminated, the first provision - “California Civil Code Section 1542” - will be included in this Agreement, otherwise the second provision - “Unknown Claims” - will be used.
7.    No Pending or Future Lawsuits. Executive represents that Executive has no lawsuits, claims, or actions pending in Executive’s name, or on behalf of any other person or entity, against the Company or any of the other Releasees. Executive also represents that Executive does not intend to bring any claims on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity against the Company or any of the other Releasees.

9.    Confidential Information. Executive reaffirms and agrees to observe and abide by the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, specifically including the provisions therein regarding nondisclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential and proprietary information, which agreement will continue in force; provided, however, that: (a) as to any provisions regarding competition contained in the Confidentiality Agreement that conflict with the provisions regarding competition contained in the Severance Agreement, the provisions of the Severance Agreement will control; (b) as to any provisions regarding solicitation of employees contained in the Confidentiality Agreement that conflict with the provisions regarding solicitation of employees contained in this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will control.
10.    Return of Company Property; Passwords and Password-protected Documents. Executive confirms that Executive has returned to the Company in good working order all keys, files, records (and copies thereof), equipment (including, but not limited to, computer hardware, software and printers, wireless handheld devices, cellular phones and pagers), access or credit cards, Company identification, and any other Company-owned property in Executive’s possession or control. Executive further confirms that Executive has cancelled all accounts for Executive’s benefit, if any, in the Company’s name, including, but not limited to, credit cards, telephone charge cards, cellular phone and/or pager accounts and computer accounts. Executive also confirms that Executive has delivered all passwords in use by Executive at the time of Executive’s termination, a list of any documents that Executive created or of which Executive is otherwise aware that are password-protected, along with the password(s) necessary to access such password-protected documents.
11.    No Cooperation. Executive agrees that Executive will not knowingly encourage, counsel, or assist any attorneys or their clients in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints by any third party against any of the Releasees, unless under a subpoena or other court order to do so or as related directly to the ADEA waiver in this Agreement. If approached by anyone for counsel or assistance in the presentation or prosecution of any disputes, differences, grievances, claims, charges, or complaints against any of the Releasees, Executive will state no more than that Executive cannot provide any such counsel or assistance.

A-4    

12.    Nondisparagement. Executive agrees that Executive will not in any way, directly or indirectly, do or say anything at any time which disparages the Company, its business interests or reputation, or that of any of the other Released Parties.
13.    No Admission of Liability. Executive understands and acknowledges that this Agreement constitutes a compromise and settlement of any and all actual or potential disputed claims by Executive. No action taken by the Company hereto, either previously or in connection with this Agreement, will be deemed or construed to be (a) an admission of the truth or falsity of any actual or potential claims or (b) an acknowledgment or admission by the Company of any fault or liability whatsoever to Executive or to any third party.
14.    Solicitation of Employees. Executive agrees that for a period of 12 months immediately following the Effective Date of this Agreement, Executive will not directly or indirectly (a) solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment at the Company or (b) attempt to solicit, induce, recruit or encourage, either for Executive or for any other person or entity, any of the Company’s employees to leave their employment.
15.    Costs. The Parties will each bear their own costs, attorneys’ fees and other fees incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement.
16.    Arbitration. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEIR INTERPRETATION, AND ANY OF THE MATTERS HEREIN RELEASED, WILL BE SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION IN SAN MATEO COUNTY, BEFORE JUDICIAL ARBITRATION & MEDIATION SERVICES (“JAMS”), PURSUANT TO ITS EMPLOYMENT ARBITRATION RULES & PROCEDURES (“JAMS RULES”). THE ARBITRATOR MAY GRANT INJUNCTIONS AND OTHER RELIEF IN SUCH DISPUTES. THE ARBITRATOR WILL ADMINISTER AND CONDUCT ANY ARBITRATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA LAW, INCLUDING THE CALIFORNIA CODE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE, AND THE ARBITRATOR WILL APPLY SUBSTANTIVE AND PROCEDURAL CALIFORNIA LAW TO ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ANY CONFLICT-OF-LAW PROVISIONS OF ANY JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT THAT THE JAMS RULES CONFLICT WITH CALIFORNIA LAW, CALIFORNIA LAW WILL TAKE PRECEDENCE. THE DECISION OF THE ARBITRATOR WILL BE FINAL, CONCLUSIVE, AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE PREVAILING PARTY IN ANY ARBITRATION WILL BE ENTITLED TO INJUNCTIVE RELIEF IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO ENFORCE THE ARBITRATION AWARD. THE PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION WILL EACH PAY AN EQUAL SHARE OF THE COSTS AND EXPENSES OF SUCH ARBITRATION, AND EACH PARTY WILL SEPARATELY PAY FOR ITS RESPECTIVE COUNSEL FEES AND EXPENSES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE ARBITRATOR WILL AWARD ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS TO THE PREVAILING PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROHIBITED BY LAW. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THEM RESOLVED IN A COURT OF LAW BY A JUDGE OR JURY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS SECTION WILL NOT PREVENT EITHER PARTY FROM SEEKING INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (OR ANY OTHER PROVISIONAL REMEDY) FROM ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE PARTIES AND THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THEIR DISPUTE RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE AGREEMENTS INCORPORATED HEREIN BY REFERENCE. SHOULD ANY PART OF THE ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN THIS PARAGRAPH CONFLICT WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WILL GOVERN. 4 
4References to California will only be included in this Agreement if Executive resides in California at the time Executive’s employment relationship is terminated.

Title to the Personal Property, if any, shall be subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances to the extent applicable. 
(b)    Title Defects.  Sellers have delivered to Buyer a copy of their existing title policies with respect to each Premises (the “Sellers’ Title Policies”).

(c)    Survey.  Sellers have delivered to Buyer copies of Sellers’ existing ALTA surveys for each Property (the “Sellers’ Surveys”).  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall constitute any warranty, representation or agreement by Sellers as to the location of separate lots in, or acreage of, the Premises.

Buyer may obtain, at Buyer’s expense, not later than the end of the Inspection Period, a current ALTA survey (the “Buyer’s Surveys”) for each Premises prepared by a duly licensed surveyor selected by Buyer.  If Buyer’s Surveys show any encroachments or violations or other matters which in any manner materially adversely affect the Premises, Buyer may give Sellers notice thereof during the Inspection Period (unless such matters arose after the end of the Inspection Period, in which case within five (5) days after Buyer received notice of such matters), enumerating in writing the materially adverse matters of Buyer’s Surveys.

In the event a Seller elects not to cure such unacceptable survey matters, then Buyer may, at its election:  (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and the parties shall be relieved from further obligations to one another under this Agreement; or (ii) accept the Premises subject to all matters of survey as of the date of Buyer’s Surveys, without an adjustment to the Purchase Price, and proceed with Closing hereunder.  If Buyer does not elect alternative (i) by written notice to Sellers within five (5) days after the date of a Seller’s notice electing not to cure, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected alternative (ii).

During the period from the Effective Date up and until the expiration of the Inspection Period, each Seller shall have the right to enter into any new service or maintenance agreements, or modify any existing service or maintenance agreements in any material respect, provided that in such event, such Seller shall promptly deliver true and complete copies of any such agreement or modification to Buyer, and provided further that any agreement or modification entered into by a Seller within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Inspection Period must permit termination of such agreement, without penalty or premium, on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice.  During the period from the Effective Date through Closing (or earlier termination of this Agreement), Sellers shall not have the right to enter into new service or maintenance agreements or modify any existing service or maintenance agreements in any material respect unless such new agreement or the terms of any modification to any existing agreement are on market terms and permit termination of such agreement, without penalty or premium, on not more than thirty (30) days’ notice.

7.    Apportionments. 
(a)    Generally
(i)    Taxes and Fees.  Real estate taxes for the real estate tax year in which the Closing occurs and annual municipal or special district assessments (on the basis of the actual fiscal tax years for which such taxes are assessed), lienable water and sewer rentals, sums paid to or paid or payable by a Seller under the Existing Agreements, license, permit and inspection fees (to the extent such licenses, permits and inspections are transferable) and rentals, sales tax and other sums paid to and received by Sellers under the Existing Leases shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date between Buyer and Sellers.  If the tax bill for the real estate tax year for a Premises in which 

11

the Closing occurs has not been issued on or before the date of the Closing, the apportionment of taxes shall be computed based upon the most recent tax bill available.  If, on the date of Closing, bills for the real estate taxes imposed upon the Premises for the real estate tax year in which Closing occurs have been issued but shall not have been paid, such taxes shall be paid at the time of Closing.  Each Seller expressly reserves the right to, but does not have an obligation to, commence and conduct, at its sole cost and expense, any tax certiorari or reduction proceedings relating to its Premises in respect of the real estate tax year in which the Closing occurs and all prior real estate tax years.  Buyer agrees to reasonably cooperate with such Seller in all such proceedings. 
(ii)    Rent.  Rent, including, without limitation, fixed rent, prepaid rent, additional rent and percentage rent, if applicable, shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 if and to the extent collected.  All rent under the Existing Leases collected by Buyer after Closing shall be applied first to unpaid rent accruing on or after the Closing Date, then to any rents past due for the month of Closing and then to unpaid rent accruing for any month prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs.  During the three (3) month period following Closing, Buyer shall use good faith commercially reasonable efforts to recover any rent (or other tenant charge) arrearages in respect of the period prior to the Closing Date, provided that Buyer shall not be required to incur any material cost, terminate any Existing Leases or commence any legal proceeding in connection therewith.  With the exception of any actions pending as of the ten (10) business days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall not sue any tenant before and/or after Closing.  The provisions of this clause (ii) of this subsection (a) shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed.  
(iii)    Leasing Costs.  Sellers shall pay all leasing commissions in connection with Existing Leases (or, in the case of renewals, extensions and expansions, exercised) accruing prior to Closing, provided the foregoing shall not require Seller to reimburse Buyer for any concessions granted to Tenants.  At Closing Buyer shall receive a credit of Six Hundred Fifty Dollars ($650.00) with respect to any vacant or unrented apartment unit that is not in rent ready condition at least two (2) days prior to Closing.  As used herein, “rent ready condition” shall mean an apartment unit that is cleaned and repainted, if and to the extent necessary, and contains all standard appliances and finishes that have been used by such Seller in operating and making ready the apartment units during the year preceding the Effective Date and with appliances in working order and condition, with all carpeting and flooring either replaced or cleaned, but in all cases, consistent with such Seller’s prior practices during the year preceding the Effective Date.
(iv)    Other Apportionments.  Amounts payable under the Existing Agreements and other Premises operation and maintenance expenses and other recurring costs shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date.
(v)    Preliminary Closing Adjustment.  Sellers and Buyer shall jointly prepare a preliminary Closing Statement (as hereinafter defined) on the basis of the Existing Leases, Existing Agreements, real estate taxes and other sources of income and expenses for the Premises, and shall deliver such preliminary Closing Statement to each other and the Title Company on or prior to the Closing Date.  All apportionments and prorations provided for in this Section 7 to be made as of the Closing Date shall be made, on a per diem basis, as of midnight of the day immediately preceding the Closing Date.  The preliminary Closing Statement and the apportionments and/or 

12

prorations reflected therein shall be based upon actual figures to the extent available.  If any of the apportionments and/or prorations cannot be calculated accurately based on actual figures on the Closing Date, then (other than with respect to determination of real estate taxes that shall be computed as set forth in Clause (i) above) they shall be calculated based on Sellers’ and Buyer’s good faith estimates thereof, subject to reconciliation as hereinafter provided.
(vi)    Post-Closing Reconciliation.  If, after Closing, there is an error on the Closing Statement or, if after the actual figures are available as to any items that were estimated on the Closing Statement (including, without limitation, real estate taxes that were computed in accordance with Clause (i) above), it is determined that any actual proration or apportionment varies from the amount thereof reflected on the Closing Statement, the proration or apportionment shall be adjusted based on the actual figures as soon as feasible but not later than six (6) months after the Closing Date.  Any party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) shall promptly pay said sum to the other party within thirty (30) days of such reconciliation.  The provisions of this clause (vi) of this subsection (a) with respect to any particular Seller and Buyer shall survive Closing and delivery of the applicable Deed for a period of nine (9) months.
(b)    Tenant Security Deposits.  At Closing, each Seller shall deliver or cause its property manager to deliver to Buyer (or give Buyer a credit for), without additional consideration, all security and other deposits then held or required to be held by or on behalf of Sellers under the Existing Leases together with accrued interest as required by law or pursuant to the terms of the Existing Leases, as shown on Exhibit “E” hereto.  Buyer will cause the security deposits to be maintained after Closing in accordance with the requirements of applicable law and shall indemnify and defend Sellers from, and hold Sellers harmless from, all claims of tenants with respect to the security deposits actually delivered to Buyer or for which Buyer received a credit at Closing.  Each Seller shall be solely responsible for the return of any security or other deposits held or required to be held by such Seller (or its property manager) that is payable to any tenant pursuant to any Existing Lease that is terminated or expires prior to Closing.  The provisions of this subsection (b) shall survive Closing and delivery of the applicable Deed.  
(c)    Utility Readings.  Sellers shall use reasonable efforts to obtain readings of the water and electric and/or gas meters on each Premises as of the day before the Closing Date.  At or prior to Closing, Sellers shall pay all charges based upon such meter readings and such charges accruing through the Closing Date.  However, if after reasonable efforts Sellers are unable to obtain readings of any meters as of the day before Closing, Closing shall be completed without such readings and upon the obtaining thereof after Closing, Sellers shall pay the charges incurred prior to Closing as reasonably determined by Sellers and Buyer based upon such readings.  The provisions of this subsection (c) shall survive Closing and delivery of the applicable Deed.  
(d)    Seller Materials.  Prior to the Effective Date Sellers provided to Buyers the Materials (as defined in Section 20(b) below).  At the Closing of each Property, Buyer shall pay to the applicable Seller a prorated portion of the total cost incurred by Sellers in obtaining the Materials, not to exceed Ninety-Two Thousand Dollars ($92,000.00) in the aggregate, based upon the relative Purchase Price for each of the Properties.

(iv)    Closing Statement.  A Closing Statement for each Property, mutually acceptable to Buyer and the applicable Seller, prepared in accordance with this Agreement.
(v)    Other Documents.  Such other documents as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate to effect the consummation of the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement.
15.    Default. 
(a)    Buyer Default.  If Buyer defaults under this Agreement on the Closing Date by failing to complete Closing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (and, if such default occurs prior to the Closing Date, it continues until the earlier of (i) ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of written notice thereof, or (ii) the Closing Date), then the Deposit shall immediately be paid to Sellers by the Escrow Agent or the Title Company (as applicable), and the Deposit shall be retained by Sellers as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.  The retention of the Deposit shall be Sellers’ sole and exclusive remedy in the event of Buyer’s default at or prior to the Closing Date, and except as set forth in the remainder of this Section 15(a) Sellers, in such event, hereby waive any right, unless Closing is completed, to recover the balance of the Purchase Price.  Sellers and Buyer agree that the actual damages to Sellers in the event of such breach are impractical to ascertain as of the date of this Agreement and the amount of the Deposit is a reasonable estimate thereof.  Upon payment of the Deposit to Sellers as liquidated damages, this Agreement shall (except as herein otherwise expressly 

22

provided) be and become null and void and all copies will be surrendered to Sellers.  Nothing contained in this Section 15(a) shall be deemed to limit Sellers’ rights against Buyer by reason of the indemnity obligations of Buyer to Sellers set forth in this Agreement which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
(b)    Seller Default.  The term “Permitted Event” shall mean the occurrence of the following on the Closing Date:  Buyer shall be ready, willing and able to complete Closing in accordance with this Agreement; and Sellers, notwithstanding the foregoing, shall have defaulted in its obligation to complete Closing in accordance with this Agreement.  Buyer agrees that Buyer shall not (and hereby waives any right to) ever file or assert any lis pendens against the Premises and Buyer further agrees that it shall not (and hereby waives any right to), except upon the occurrence of the Permitted Event, commence or maintain any action against Sellers for specific performance under this Agreement or for a declaratory judgment as to Buyer’s rights under this Agreement.  If the only reason the sale of any Premises is not consummated is because of a default under this Agreement on the part of Sellers and Buyer is not in default under this Agreement and is otherwise ready, willing and able to close, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may either (i) terminate this Agreement in its entirety by delivery of notice of termination to Sellers, whereupon the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Buyer may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit), its direct, actual and documented out-of-pocket expenses and costs in connection with this transaction, which damages shall not exceed $250,000.00 in the aggregate, or (ii) continue this Agreement pending Buyer’s action for specific performance hereunder provided appropriate proceedings have been commenced by Buyer within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date and prosecuted with diligence and continuity; provided, however, if specific performance is not available to Buyer solely because of a conveyance, financing or other encumbrance of the Property by Seller in intentional and willful violation of this Agreement that results in the inability of Seller to consummate the transaction required by this Agreement in accordance with its terms (each, an “Affirmative Act”), then Buyer shall have the right to pursue actual damages against Seller as allowed under applicable law (but not consequential, special or punitive damages).  Buyer may seek specific performance of Seller’s obligation to close on the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement or damages against Seller due to an Affirmative Act only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance or damages, Buyer shall (x) not otherwise be in default under this Agreement and (y) file suit therefor with the court on or before the ninetieth (90th) day after the Closing Date.  If Buyer fails to file an action for specific performance or damages due to an Affirmative Act within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate the Agreement in accordance with subsection (i) above.  Buyer agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Seller an assignment of all of Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed by Seller pursuant to the first sentence of this Section, provided, however, that Buyer shall have no obligation to provide Sellers with copies of any market or feasibility studies or similar work product or financial analyses or any materials that are privileged, confidential, proprietary or attorney work product, and any materials provided shall be provided by Buyer to Sellers without any representation or warranty whatsoever as to accuracy, completeness or a Seller’s ability to use or rely upon the same.  Nothing contained in this Section 15(b) shall be deemed to limit Buyer’s rights against Sellers by reason of the indemnity obligations of Sellers to Buyer set forth in this Agreement which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b)    Computation of Periods.  If the final day of any period of time in any provision of this Agreement falls upon a Saturday, Sunday or a holiday observed by federally insured banks in the Commonwealth of Virginia, State of Maryland or by the United States Postal Service (any of the foregoing, a “Holiday”), then, the time of such period shall be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday.  Unless otherwise specified, in computing any period of time described in this Agreement, the day of the act or event after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included and the last day of the period is so computed is to be included, unless such last day is a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is neither a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday.  A “Business Day” shall be any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or Holiday.
17.    Fire or Other Casualty. 
(a)    Casualty Insurance.  Each Seller agrees to maintain in effect until the Closing Date the fire and extended coverage insurance policies now in effect on the Seller’s Premises (or substitute policies in equal or greater amounts) consistent with the summary of insurance coverage provided to Buyer prior to the Effective Date. 
(b)    Casualty Damage.  If any portion of a Premises shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Sellers shall promptly give written notice thereof to Buyer.  Subject to the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with subsection (c) below, the obligation of Buyer to complete Closing under this Agreement shall in no way be voided or impaired by reason thereof, and Buyer shall be required to accept the Premises and the Personal Property in their then damaged condition without abatement of the Purchase Price (except as set forth in this Section 17(b)) or any claim against Sellers.  In such case, the proceeds of all fire and extended coverage insurance policies attributable to such damage or destruction at the Premises or the Personal Property received by Sellers prior to the Closing Date and not used by Sellers for the protection or repairs to the Premises and the Personal Property (and Buyer hereby authorizes Seller to use the proceeds for such purposes) shall be disbursed by Sellers to Buyer at Closing and any reduction in such insurance proceeds on account of any applicable deductible shall be borne by Sellers via a reduction in the Purchase Price in the amount of such deductible.  All unpaid claims under such insurance policies attributable to such damage or destruction at the Premises and Personal Property shall be assigned by Sellers to Buyer on the date of Closing.  There shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price by reason of any such unpaid claim. 
(c)    Right of Termination.  Notwithstanding any of the preceding provisions of this Section 17, if substantial damage (as hereinafter defined) shall occur to the buildings on a Premises by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement but solely as it relates to the specific Premises substantially damaged by fire or other 

25

casualty by written notice to Sellers.  If Buyer desires to terminate this Agreement as it relates to such Premises pursuant to this subsection (c), Buyer must give a written notice of termination to Seller within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s notice to Buyer of the occurrence of the casualty, such Seller’s notice to include a written report from the independent third party real estate professional referenced below detailing the extent of the damage caused by the casualty.  Upon such termination of this Agreement as it relates to such Premises, the Deposit allocated to such Premises in accordance with Section 3(a) above shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder with respect to such Premises (except the indemnity and other obligations of Buyer to Sellers set forth in this Agreement which shall survive the termination of this Agreement as it relates to such Premises).  The term “substantial damage” shall mean such damage that would cost, in the judgment of an independent third-party real estate professional retained by the subject Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer, at least Twenty-Three Million Fifty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($23,058,500) to repair, or uninsured or underinsured damage in an amount in excess of Twenty-Three Million Fifty-Eight Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($23,058,500).  If Buyer does not give timely notice of a termination, Buyer’s obligations hereunder shall remain in effect notwithstanding such casualty and Buyer shall remain obligated to consummate the purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, subsection (b) above.
18.    Condemnation. 
(a)    Notice.  Each Seller shall provide to Buyer immediate notice in the event that such Seller shall become aware of any of any condemnation proceedings instituted or threatened in writing by any governmental entity having jurisdiction with respect to all or any portion of the Property prior to Closing.
(b)    Immaterial Taking.  If any part of any Premises shall be taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain after the date of this Agreement that does not materially interfere with the use of the Premises for the purposes for which it is currently used, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price.  However, the applicable Seller shall be relieved of its duty to convey title to the portion of the parcel so taken, but such Seller shall, on the Closing Date, assign to Buyer all rights and claims to any awards arising therefrom as well as any money theretofore received by such Seller on account thereof, net of any expenses actually incurred by such Seller, including attorney’s fees of collecting the same.  Sellers shall promptly furnish Buyer with a copy of the declaration of taking property after Sellers’ receipt thereof.
(c)    Material Taking.  If any taking of a portion of the Premises materially interferes with the use of a Premises for the purposes for which it is currently used, Buyer may terminate this Agreement but solely as it relates to the specific Premises subject to a material taking, by written notice to Sellers within five (5) Business Days of Sellers notice to Buyer of such a taking.  Upon the giving of such termination notice by Buyer, the Deposit allocated to such Premises in accordance with Section 3(a) above shall be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall become null and void as it relates to such Premises, except for the indemnity and other obligations of Buyer to Sellers set forth in this Agreement which will survive termination of this Agreement as it relates to such Premises.  If Buyer does not timely give notice of termination, Buyer’s obligations hereunder 

26

shall remain in effect notwithstanding such condemnation and Buyer shall remain obligated to consummate the purchase in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  
19.    Assignability. 
(a)    Permitted Assignments.  Buyer shall have the right, after notice to Seller and not later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date, to assign Buyer’s right, title and interest in and to this Agreement in whole but not in part to an entity wholly owned by Buyer that (i) satisfies the representations under Sections 11 (d), (e), (f) and (g) hereunder (as if such entity were Buyer, mutatis mutandis) and (ii) completes, in the same manner as Buyer, the due diligence forms previously provided by Buyer to Seller in connection with this Agreement (as if such entity were Buyer, mutatis mutandis), and in which Buyer is the managing member or operations manager, pursuant to an agreement whereby any such assignee accepts such assignment and assumes all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement; and provided, further, that no such assignment and assumption shall relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder.
(b)    Assignments Prohibited.  Except as provided above in Section 19(a) and in Section 29, Buyer may not assign or suffer an assignment of this Agreement and or its rights under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Sellers, which consent Sellers may deny in their sole and absolute discretion.  Any assignment made without such prior written consent shall be deemed voidable and a default by Buyer of the terms of this Agreement, entitling Sellers to terminate this Agreement.  
(c)    Prohibited Assignments.  Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of subsection (a), Buyer shall have no right, under any circumstances, to assign this Agreement to any person, or to any entity which is a “foreign person”, “foreign corporation”, “foreign partnership”, “foreign trust” or “foreign estate” (each as defined by FIRPTA) or has as a direct or indirect owner or partial owner a person with a criminal record, currently under a criminal indictment, or who is not of good moral character.  
(d)    Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the foregoing limitations, this Agreement shall extend to, and shall bind, the respective heirs, executors, personal representatives, successors and assigns of Sellers and Buyer.

27

20.    Inspections/Inspection Period. 
(a)    Right to Inspect.  Buyer, and Buyer’s agents and representatives, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, shall have the right, from time to time, prior to the Closing Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement, during normal business hours, to enter upon the Premises for the purpose of conducting inspections of the Premises, testing of machinery and equipment, taking of measurements, making of surveys and generally for the reasonable ascertainment of matters relating to the Premises; provided, however, that Buyer shall (i) give Sellers reasonable prior written notice of the time and place of such entry, in order to permit a representative of Seller to accompany Buyer; (ii) use best efforts not to interfere with the operations of the Premises or any tenant thereof; (iii) restore any damage to the Premises caused by such actions; (iv) indemnify, defend and save Sellers and, as the case may be, their partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, members, officers, employees and agents harmless of and from any and all claims and/or liabilities which Sellers and their partners, trustees, shareholders, directors, members, officers, employees and agents may suffer or be subject by reason of or in any manner relating to such entry and such activities, including, without limitation, any claims by tenants and/or invitees of the Premises; (v) not enter into any tenant’s leased premises or communicate with any tenant unless Sellers give Buyer written consent to do so (which consent can be withheld at Sellers’ sole option) and Buyer is accompanied, at Sellers’ election, by Sellers or Sellers’ agent in each instance; (vi) prior to entry onto the Premises, furnish Seller with a certificate of general  liability and property damage insurance maintained by Buyer for each Premises, with single occurrence coverage of at least $1,000,000 (and aggregate coverage of $2,000,000) and naming the applicable Seller and its property manager as additional insureds; and (vii) not conduct any environmental investigations or testing other than a standard “Phase I” investigation, unless Buyer provides notice to Sellers that further investigations are required by Buyer’s consultants, provided such further investigation shall be at no cost to Sellers and shall not extend the date for Closing.  All inspection rights under this subsection (a) shall be subject to the rights of tenants under the Existing Leases.  To facilitate Buyer’s evaluation, Sellers shall give Buyer, and its counsel, accountants, and representatives, upon request for specific materials, reasonable access to the environmental and engineering reports, books, records, documents and information (other than internal memoranda, appraisals and documents and/or information covered by the attorney-client privilege) in the possession of Sellers or Sellers’ current property manager with respect to ownership, construction and operation of the Premises.  Sellers shall not be deemed to be in default provided Sellers use reasonable commercial efforts to furnish such materials.  
(b)    Materials.  Prior to the Effective Date Sellers have provided to Buyer an updated title commitment, a property condition report, a current ALTA survey and a current Phase I environmental report with respect to each of the Properties (collectively, the “Materials”).  Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with Buyer to facilitate Buyer’s use of and reliance upon such reports, including, without limitation, facilitating Buyer’s obtaining reliance letters, updates and recertifications of such Materials to or for the benefit of Buyer and the Title Company. Sellers shall be responsible for any costs and expenses related to obtaining the Materials (subject to reimbursement pursuant to Section 7(d) hereof); provided, however, Buyer shall be responsible for any costs and expenses related to obtaining reliance letters, updates and recertifications of such Materials. 
(c)    No Liens Permitted.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed in any way as constituting the consent or request of Sellers, express or implied 

28

by inference or otherwise, to any party for the performance of any labor or the furnishing of any materials to the Premises or any part thereof, nor as giving Buyer any right, power or authority to contract for or permit the rendering of any services or the furnishing of any materials that would give rise to the filing of any liens against the Premises or any  part thereof.  Buyer agrees to promptly cause the removal of, and indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless with respect to, any mechanic’s or similar lien filed against the Premises or any part thereof by any party performing any labor or services at the Premises or supplying any materials to the Premises at Buyer’s request.
(d)    Buyer’s Right of Termination.  Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, for any reason whatsoever or for no reason (“Termination Notice”) until the expiration of the Inspection Period.  Upon giving the Termination Notice, this Agreement shall immediately terminate (except for the indemnity or other obligations of Buyer to Sellers under this Agreement which shall survive termination of this Agreement), and Sellers shall direct Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit to Buyer.  Return of the Deposit to Buyer is Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy.  Except as may otherwise be expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to every fact, item and condition relating to the Property (including, without limitation, all encumbrances and other title exceptions contained in the Buyer’s Title Commitments and all matters set forth in or illustrated by Buyer’s Surveys) if a Termination Notice is not delivered by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period.  Buyer’s failure to deliver the Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period shall be deemed a waiver of Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 20 or by reason of the physical condition of the Property (except as provided in Sections 17 and 18 of this Agreement) or any other matter whatsoever relating to the Property. 
(e)    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 20 shall survive termination of this Agreement and or the Closing and delivery of the Deeds.
21.    Brokers.  Sellers and Buyer each represents and warrants to the other that it has dealt with no broker or other intermediary in connection with this transaction other than CBRE (the “Disclosed Broker”).  Seller shall be solely responsible for paying any commission due to Disclosed Broker.  If any broker or other intermediary other than the Disclosed Broker claims to be entitled to a fee or commission by reason of having dealt with Sellers or Buyer in connection with this transaction, or having introduced the Premises to Buyer for sale, or having been the inducing cause to the sale, the party with whom such broker claims to have dealt shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the other party of and from any claim for commission or compensation by such broker or other intermediary.  The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and or the Closing and delivery of the Deeds.  
22.    CONDITION OF PREMISES. 
(a)    NO WARRANTIES.  EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLERS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10 HEREOF AND IN ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED AT CLOSING, BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT NO SELLER IS MAKING AND HAS NOT AT ANY TIME MADE ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY 

29

WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS AS TO HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE (OTHER THAN SELLERS’ LIMITED OR SPECIAL WARRANTY OF TITLE TO BE SET FORTH IN THE APPLICABLE DEED), ZONING, TAX CONSEQUENCES, LATENT OR PATENT PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION, UTILITIES, OPERATING HISTORY OR PROJECTIONS, VALUATION, GOVERNMENTAL APPROVALS, THE COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH APPLICABLE LAWS, THE ABSENCE OR PRESENCE OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR OTHER TOXIC SUBSTANCES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION MOLD OR ANY MOLD CONDITION), COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT, THE FAIR HOUSING ACT, THE REHABILITATION ACT OR OTHER FEDERAL LAWS OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE, REGIONAL, COUNTY, MUNICIPAL OR OTHER LOCAL LAWS, REGULATIONS AND ORDINANCES GOVERNING ACCESS TO HANDICAPPED OR DISABLED PERSONS OR THE CONSTRUCTION OR DESIGN OF RESIDENTIAL DWELLING UNITS, PLACES OF PUBLIC ACCOMMODATION, PUBLIC AREAS, OR COMMON AREAS WHICH ARE AT OR ON THE PROPERTY (COLLECTIVELY, “ACCESS LAWS”), THE TRUTH, ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE PROPERTY DOCUMENTS OR ANY OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLERS TO BUYER, OR ANY OTHER MATTER OR THING REGARDING THE PROPERTY.  BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT UPON CLOSING SELLERS SHALL SELL AND CONVEY TO BUYER AND BUYER SHALL ACCEPT THE PROPERTY “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”, UNLESS TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN THIS AGREEMENT.  BUYER HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY ON, AND SELLERS ARE NOT LIABLE FOR OR BOUND BY, ANY EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTIES, STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY OR RELATING THERETO (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION, PROPERTY INFORMATION PACKAGES DISTRIBUTED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY) MADE OR FURNISHED BY SELLERS, THE MANAGER OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER OR AGENT REPRESENTING OR PURPORTING TO REPRESENT SELLERS, TO WHOMEVER MADE OR GIVEN, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ORALLY OR IN WRITING, UNLESS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. 
BUYER REPRESENTS TO EACH SELLER THAT BUYER HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT PRIOR TO CLOSING, SUCH INVESTIGATIONS OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS THEREOF, AS BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND THE EXISTENCE OR NONEXISTENCE OR CURATIVE ACTION TO BE TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO ANY HAZARDOUS MATERIALS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES ON OR DISCHARGED FROM THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY MOLD OR MOLD CONDITION), OR WITH RESPECT TO ACCESS LAWS, AND WILL RELY SOLELY UPON SAME AND NOT UPON ANY INFORMATION PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF ANY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT THERETO, OTHER THAN SUCH REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF EACH SELLER AS ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.  UPON CLOSING, BUYER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS, 

30

ADVERSE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, OR NONCOMPLIANCE WITH ACCESS LAWS, MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY BUYER’S INVESTIGATIONS, AND BUYER, UPON CLOSING, SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED, RELINQUISHED AND RELEASED SELLERS (AND SELLERS AND THEIR PARTNERS’ RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING CAUSES OF ACTION IN TORT OR UNDER ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAW), LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, FINES, PENALTIES (WHETHER BASED ON STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COURT COSTS) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH BUYER MIGHT HAVE ASSERTED OR ALLEGED AGAINST SELLERS (AND SELLERS AND THEIR PARTNERS’ RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) AT ANY TIME BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LATENT OR PATENT CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, VIOLATIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LAWS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS OR ACCESS LAWS) AND ANY AND ALL OTHER ACTS, OMISSIONS, EVENTS, CIRCUMSTANCES OR MATTERS REGARDING THE PROPERTY.  THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT BE INTERPRETED TO WAIVE ANY CLAIM OF BUYER WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH BY ANY SELLER OF ANY EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES MADE BY SUCH SELLER IN SECTION 10 OR ANY DOCUMENTS DELIVERED AT CLOSING.  THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE CLOSING AND DELIVERY OF THE DEED, AND SHALL BE DEEMED INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE AND MADE A PART OF ALL DOCUMENTS DELIVERED BY SELLERS TO BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY.
(b)    CHANGE OF CONDITIONS.  SUBJECT TO EACH SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SUBSECTION (d) BELOW, BUYER SHALL ACCEPT THE PROPERTY AT THE TIME OF CLOSING IN THE SAME CONDITION AS THE SAME IS AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS SUCH CONDITION SHALL HAVE CHANGED BY REASON OF ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR AND NATURAL DETERIORATION AND, SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 17 AND 18 HEREOF, CONDEMNATION OR DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE GENERALITY OF THE FOREGOING, BUYER SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THE FACT THAT ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY EQUIPMENT OR MACHINERY THEREIN OR ANY PART THEREOF MAY NOT BE IN WORKING ORDER OR CONDITION AT THE CLOSING DATE BY REASON OF ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR AND NATURAL DETERIORATION OR DAMAGE BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY, OR BY REASON OF ITS PRESENT CONDITION, SHALL NOT RELIEVE BUYER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO COMPLETE CLOSING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND PAY THE FULL PURCHASE PRICE.  EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION (d) BELOW, AND SUBJECT TO SECTIONS 17 AND 18 HEREOF, NO SELLER HAS ANY OBLIGATION TO MAKE REPAIRS OR REPLACEMENTS REQUIRED BY REASON OF ORDINARY WEAR AND TEAR AND NATURAL DETERIORATION OR CONDEMNATION OR FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY, BUT MAY, AT ITS OPTION AND ITS COST (INCLUDING THE USE OF INSURANCE PROCEEDS AS HEREIN PROVIDED), MAKE ANY SUCH REPAIRS AND REPLACEMENTS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING DATE.

31

(c)    Condition of Delivery.  Sellers have no obligation to deliver the Premises in a “broom clean” condition, and at Closing, Sellers may leave in the Property all items of personal property and equipment, partitions and debris as are now presently therein and as would accumulate in the normal course of operating and maintaining the Property.
(d)    Seller Repairs.  Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, each Seller shall continue to manage and operate such Seller’s Premises in substantially the same manner as Seller has operated such Premises prior to the date hereof and shall perform all customary ordinary repairs to Seller’s Property as Seller has customarily previously performed to maintain them in substantially the same condition as they are as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, as said condition shall be changed by ordinary wear and tear, damage by fire or other casualty, or vandalism.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Seller shall have any obligation to make structural or extraordinary repairs or capital improvements to Seller’s Property between the date hereof and Closing.  Nothing herein shall be a covenant or guaranty of economic performance of the Property.  
(e)    RELEASE.  WITHOUT LIMITING THE PROVISIONS OF SUBSECTION (a) ABOVE AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER, FOR ITSELF AND ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES, ACQUITS AND FOREVER DISCHARGES EACH SELLER AND (AS THE CASE MAY BE) EACH SELLER’S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, TRUSTEES, PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, MANAGERS, AGENTS AND AFFILIATES FROM ANY AND ALL RIGHTS, CLAIMS, DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTIONS, LOSSES, DAMAGES, LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS WHETHER THE SUIT IS INSTITUTED OR NOT) WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, LIQUIDATED OR CONTINGENT (HEREINAFTER COLLECTIVELY CALLED THE “CLAIMS”), WHICH BUYER HAS OR MAY HAVE IN THE FUTURE, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO (i) ANY DEFECTS (PATENT OR LATENT), ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN THE DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PREMISES WHETHER THE SAME ARE THE RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, OR (ii) ANY OTHER CONDITIONS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, AFFECTING THE PREMISES WHETHER THE SAME ARE A RESULT OF NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, BUT WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY CLAIM FOR INDEMNIFICATION OR CONTRIBUTION ARISING UNDER THE COMPREHENSIVE ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSE, COMPENSATION AND LIABILITY ACT (42 U.S.C. SECTION 9601, ET SEQ.) OR ANY OTHER FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL STATUTE, RULE OR ORDINANCE RELATING TO LIABILITY OF PROPERTY OWNERS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS, OR MOLD WHETHER ARISING BASED ON EVENTS THAT OCCURRED BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER EACH SELLER’S PERIOD OF OWNERSHIP OF SUCH SELLER’S PROPERTY AND WHETHER BASED ON THEORIES OF INDEMNIFICATION, CONTRIBUTION OR OTHERWISE.

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY INDEPENDENT AND COMPETENT LEGAL COUNSEL OF BUYER’S SELECTION AND BUYER IS GRANTING THIS RELEASE FREELY, VOLUNTARILY AND OF ITS OWN VOLITION AND AFTER CONSULTATION WITH SUCH BUYER’S COUNSEL.  THE RELEASE SET FORTH HEREIN DOES NOT APPLY TO THE REPRESENTATIONS OF SELLERS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, ANY INDEMNITY OR WARRANTY EXPRESSLY MADE BY SELLERS IN ANY DOCUMENT DELIVERED BY SELLERS AT CLOSING THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVES CLOSING, OR ANY LIABILITIES TO ANY PARTIES OTHER THAN BUYER, ITS AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

(g)    Effect of Disclaimers.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Purchase Price has been negotiated to take into account that each Property is being sold subject to the provisions of this Section 22 and that Sellers would have charged a higher purchase price if the provisions in this Section 22 were not agreed upon by Buyer.
23.    Acceptance and Survival. 
(a)    Acceptance by Buyer of the Deeds at Closing shall constitute an acknowledgment by Buyer of full performance by Sellers of all of Sellers’ obligations under this Agreement, except for the obligations of Sellers which are expressly provided in this Agreement to survive Closing.
(b)    Survival.  The representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in Section 10, as updated by Sellers’ Closing Statement, shall survive Closing for a period of nine (9) months after Closing (the “Survival Period”).  No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Sellers shall be actionable or payable (a) if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Buyer prior to Closing, (b) unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) or more, in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable, up to but not exceeding the amount of the Cap (as defined below), and (c) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to Sellers prior to the expiration of said nine (9) month period, Buyer shall have given to Sellers an opportunity to cure any such breach 

34

or default within a reasonable period of time after such notice but Seller shall have failed to cure the same within such time period, and an action shall have been commenced by Buyer against Sellers within one (1) year after Closing.  Sellers shall not be liable to Buyer to the extent Buyer’s claim is satisfied from any insurance policy, Existing Agreement or Existing Lease.  As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean the total aggregate amount of Nine Million Two Hundred Twenty-Three Thousand Four Hundred Dollars ($9,223,400.00).  In no event shall Sellers’ aggregate liability to Buyer under this Agreement, including for any and all breaches of any representation or warranty of Sellers in this Agreement or Sellers’ Closing Statement, exceed the amount of the Cap, and Buyer hereby waives and disclaims any right to damages or compensation for any and all such breaches in excess of the Cap.
24.    Miscellaneous. 
(a)    Captions or Headings: Interpretation.  The captions or headings of the sections and subsections of this Agreement are for convenience only, and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement.  Wherever in this Agreement the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural and vice versa and the masculine gender shall include the feminine gender and vice versa as the context shall require.
(b)    Amendments and Waivers.  No change, alteration, amendment, modification or waiver of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement shall be valid, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Buyer and Sellers.
(c)    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or PDF signature and in multiple counterparts each of which shall be deemed an original but together shall constitute one agreement.
(d)    Applicable Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and construed according to the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia.  
(e)    Right to Waive Conditions or Contingency.  Either party may waive any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement made for its benefit provided such waiver is in writing and signed by the party waiving such term or condition.
(f)    Partial Invalidity.  If any term, covenant, condition or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall be invalid or unenforceable, at any time or to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, unless such invalidity or unenforceability materially frustrates the intent of the parties as set forth herein.  Each term, covenant, condition and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(g)    Confidentiality.  
a.Buyer agrees to treat all information received with respect to the Property, whether such information is obtained from Sellers or from Buyer’s own due diligence investigations, in a confidential manner.  Buyer shall not disclose any such information to any third 

35

parties without Seller’s prior written consent, other than such disclosure to Buyer’s counsel, consultants, accountants, advisers, investors and lenders as may be required in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby (such disclosure to be made expressly subject to this confidentiality requirement) or as required by law.  Sellers and Buyer agree to keep this Agreement confidential and not make any public announcements or disclosures with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement prior to Closing without the written consent of the other party.  In addition to the foregoing, at no time, whether before or after Closing, shall Buyer issue any press release or other similar communication relating to the Buyer’s purchase and sale of the Properties, or any other subject matter of this Agreement, or disclose the identity of any of Sellers’ partners, investors or other direct or indirect equity interest holders without the express prior written consent of Sellers.  This Section 24(g) supersedes any and all existing confidentiality agreements or obligations of Buyer with respect to Sellers and the Property and, in the event of any conflict between the terms of this Section 24(g) and any existing confidentiality agreements executed by Buyer in connection with the Sellers or the Property, the terms of this Section 24(g) shall control.
(I)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement shall restrict Buyer, Sellers and their affiliates from (1) making at any time, such filings and/or disclosures relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby (including the filing of this Agreement) as are required by applicable law (including applicable securities laws, rules and regulations) or applicable stock exchange rule, or  (2) issuing press releases from and after such filings and/or disclosures relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, provided that (i) Buyer shall provide Sellers with reasonable advance notice of any such filings and/or disclosures, or press releases relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) without the express prior written consent of Sellers, no such filings and/or disclosures, or press release shall include the name or identity of any partner, member, equity owner, officer or director of any Seller or the words “The Point”, “Panco” or “Pantzer”; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to file, and Sellers hereby consent to the filing of, this Agreement with the SEC (without redaction), to the extent required by applicable law.

(h)    Agreement Not To Be Recorded.  This Agreement shall not be filed of record by or on behalf of Buyer in any office or place of public record.  If Buyer fails to comply with the terms hereof by recording or attempting to record this Agreement or a notice thereof, such act shall not operate to bind or cloud the title to the Premises.  Sellers shall, nevertheless, have the right forthwith to institute appropriate legal proceedings to have the same removed from record.  If Buyer or any agent, broker or counsel acting for Buyer shall cause or permit this Agreement or a copy thereof to be filed in an office or place of public record, Sellers, at its option, and in addition to Sellers’ other rights and remedies, may treat such act as a material default of this Agreement on the part of Buyer.  However, the filing of this Agreement in any lawsuit or other proceedings in which such document is relevant or material shall not be deemed to be a violation of this subsection.  

36

25.    Sophistication of the Parties.  Each party hereto hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted competent legal counsel in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and that it has bargaining power equal to that of the other parties hereto in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement.  Accordingly, the parties hereto agree the rule of contract construction to the effect that an agreement shall be construed against the draftsman shall have no application in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
26.    Limited Liability.  Prior to the Closing Date, the obligations of Sellers under this Agreement or directly or indirectly arising out of this Agreement shall be limited solely to each Seller’s interest in the applicable Seller’s Premises and Personal Property, and neither Buyer nor anyone else claiming by or through Buyer shall have any claim against any other asset of Sellers or any partner, officer or employee of Sellers or partner of any Seller.
27.    Enforcement.  If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or if a dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, then the defaulting party or the party not prevailing in such dispute shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such default and or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.  Any such attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by either party in enforcing a judgment in its favor under this Agreement shall be recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and such attorneys’ fees obligation is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into any such judgment.
28.    Waiver of Trial by Jury.  
SELLERS AND BUYER EACH IRREVOCABLY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.  THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY SELLER AND BUYER AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE.  EITHER PARTY IS AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER BY THE OTHER PARTY  
29.    Tax Deferred Exchange.
(a)    If Sellers advise Buyer of their intention to seek to effect one or more tax-deferred exchanges (an “Exchange”) under Section 1031 of the Code, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations, revenue procedures and other guidance promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Rules”), Buyer agrees to accommodate Sellers in seeking to effect an Exchange, subject to and in accordance with Section 29(c) below. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Sellers and a qualified intermediary of Sellers’ choice with respect to such Exchange and agrees to execute all documentation reasonably necessary to effectuate such Exchange, at no cost or liability to Buyer.  Buyer makes no warranty whatsoever with respect to the qualification of the transaction for tax 

37

deferred exchange treatment under Section 1031 and Buyer shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to the tax consequences to Sellers.
(b)    The Sellers acknowledge and agree that the Buyer may engage in one or more deferred or reverse Exchanges utilizing a qualified intermediary of Buyer’s choice (the “Buyer Qualified Intermediary”) or an exchange accommodator titleholder (“EAT”) pursuant to the Exchange Rules. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, in the event Buyer elects to engage in one or more deferred or reverse like-kind Exchanges, the Sellers agree to consent to the assignment of Buyer’s rights under this Agreement to the Buyer Qualified Intermediary or EAT in order to facilitate such deferred or reverse like-kind Exchanges. Sellers further agree to execute any and all documents reasonably necessary to consummate the purposes of this Section 29. In the event Buyer engages an EAT for an Exchange, Sellers agree to transfer legal title to each individual Property for which Buyer desires to engage in an Exchange to one or more EATs (or subsidiaries of EATs) pursuant to the same form of instruments of transfer contemplated under this Agreement for transfer of legal title to Buyer. If Buyer elects to use the Buyer Qualified Intermediary or EAT in connection with an Exchange, then at the Closing the Sellers shall direct the Title Company to credit the Deposit against the Purchase Price on behalf of the EAT or the Buyer Qualified Intermediary.
(c)    In furtherance of the foregoing, the Sellers and the Buyer agree: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of an Exchange, nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) no party shall be required to take an assignment of the agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange desired by the other party; (iii) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-exchanging party had the exchanging party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange; and (iv) the exchanging party agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against all actual damages incurred by the other party arising from any tax deferred Exchange conducted by the exchanging party.  Neither party shall by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by the other party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the exchanging party that its Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code, provided that each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in furtherance of an Exchange of the exchanging party.  The provisions of this Section 29 shall survive Closing. 
30.    Access to Records After Closing.  
(a)    Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers for a period of  eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date to make available to Sellers and their affiliates, Buyer’s employees and Property records, as Sellers may reasonably request, in case of any Seller’s need in response to any legal requirement, tax audit, tax return preparation, securities law filing, contractual obligation or litigation threatened or brought against Sellers, by allowing Sellers, their affiliates and their agents or representatives access, upon reasonable advance notice (which notice shall identify the nature of the information sought by such party), at all reasonable times to examine and make copies of any and all instruments, files and records which predate the Closing; provided, however, 

38

that nothing contained in this Section shall require Buyer to retain any files or records for any particular period of time. This Section 30 shall survive Closing and delivery of the Deeds.  
(b)    Sellers shall, from time to time for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, upon reasonable notice from Buyer, at the sole cost and expense of Buyer, provide Buyer and their respective auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, bankers and other consultants and advisors with access to the financial information through the Closing Date in Sellers’ possessions relating solely to the Property which is reasonably necessary in the opinion of Buyer’s outside third party accountants (the “Buyer’s Accountant”) to enable Buyer and Buyer’s Accountant to timely prepare, and where applicable, audit, financial statements for fiscal year 2018 and 2019 through the Closing Date in compliance with any and all requirements of (i) Rules 3-12 and 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), or if required by the SEC, Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X of the SEC, (ii) any other applicable law, rule or regulation, including other SEC or New York Stock Exchange rules or regulations, and (iii) any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed or reported with the SEC by, or on behalf of, Buyer or its parent. Additionally, Sellers shall cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner in obtaining any and all such data and financial information (including, without limitation, data and information obtainable from Sellers’ management agent for the Property).  Additionally, Sellers shall for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date, cooperate in a commercially reasonable manner with the efforts of Buyer and its affiliates to prepare audited financial statements for fiscal year 2018 and 2019 through the Closing Date, including footnotes to such audited financial statements and any required pro forma financial statements, including using commercially reasonable efforts to cause Sellers’ outside advisors to reasonably cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s written request and expense, in the preparation of Buyer’s filings with the SEC, including, without limitation, assisting with the audit and review of the historical financial statements related to the Property for the subject time period that must be included in any such filings and to be reasonably available, during ordinary business hours, to reasonably answer any commercial questions Buyer may have regarding such information. Sellers shall provide a management representations letter relating to the period prior to Closing covered by such financial statements in customary form, as required by Buyer’s Accountant, in connection with any such audit. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with the operations of Sellers, their subsidiaries, their affiliates, Sellers’ management agent for the Property, and the Property in connection with the preparation of such financial statements.  Any costs incurred by Sellers’ outside advisors in furtherance of this Section 30 shall be promptly paid by Buyer upon written demand by Sellers.  Based on information available to Buyer as of the date of this Agreement, Buyer expects to file audited financial statements limited to those presenting the full fiscal year immediately prior to the Closing (e.g., calendar year 2018), together with the requisite 2019 interim financial periods and the requisite pro forma financial statements, and “Buyer’s Accountant” for purposes of this Section 31(b) shall be Ernst & Young LLP.
31.    Buyer’s Acknowledgment and Representation.  Buyer hereby acknowledges and represents to Sellers, as of the date hereof, that, to Buyer’s knowledge, Buyer has not found or currently knows of any misrepresentations or violations made by Sellers, in conjunction with Section 10 (“Sellers’ Representations”) or any other applicable section of said Contract.  Buyer shall make a similar acknowledgment and representation as of Closing except as to matters discovered by Buyer prior to Closing.  Any such matter shall be revealed to Sellers and if Buyer proceeds to close, Buyer shall waive any claim based thereon.  “Buyer’s knowledge” or “to the knowledge of Buyer” and 

39

words of similar import shall refer solely to facts within the actual knowledge (without independent investigation or inquiry) of Andrew Leahy, the Vice President, Investments, of Buyer and the person directly responsible for supervising the Buyer’s due diligence, and shall not be construed to refer to the knowledge of any other employee, officer, director, shareholder or agent of Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer, and shall in no event be deemed to include imputed or constructive knowledge.  
32.    Ownership of Trade Names and Marks.  
(a)    Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that no right, title or interest in or to the claimed trade names and marks “Pantzer Properties”, “Panco”, “Panco Management” and any other trade name or service mark that includes the word “Point” or any other trade name or service mark (including any related logos) of Seller (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Marks”) and all associated goodwill of the business symbolized by the Marks is being transferred to Buyer as part of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby; and that, by this Agreement, Buyer shall acquire no ownership right, license or interest of any kind in or to the Marks, or any of them.  Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that any use or attempt by Buyer to obtain registrations of the Marks, or any of them, in any manner in connection with the Property or otherwise, will result in immediate and irreparable injury to Seller and its affiliates, and that Seller and/or its affiliates shall be entitled to temporary, preliminary, and permanent injunctive relief against Buyer in the event of any such use of the Marks, or any of them, by Buyer, or in the event of any other violation by Buyer of this Section 32. 
(b)    Sellers and Buyer shall cooperate with each other in connection with the prompt removal of all uses of the “Point” name and mark from the Property after Closing, including changes in signage, lease forms, marketing materials, websites and the like.  Buyer agrees to attach a substantial, temporary sign over the existing “Point” or “Point at [name of Property]” logo on all sign(s) within forty-eight (48) hours after Closing so that the word “The Point” will not be visible.  Buyer shall keep such temporary signage in place until Buyer installs permanent replacements of such signage, and Buyer shall install such permanent replacement signage on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after Closing.  All other signage on the Property containing the “The Point” name or any of the Marks shall be promptly removed or replaced, but in any event, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after Closing.  
(c)    This Section 32 shall survive the Closing.
33.    Montgomery County ROFR.
(a)    The parties acknowledge that the “County Code Requirements” (hereinafter defined) regulate the sale of multi-family properties in Montgomery County, Maryland, and provide rights of first refusal (“ROFR” or “ROFRs”) in favor of the Montgomery County Department of Housing and Community Affairs (“DHCA”), the Montgomery County Housing Opportunities Commission (“HOC”) and any tenant organization located at The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property, as applicable (each, a “ROFR Party” and, collectively, the “ROFR Parties”). On April 5, 2019, the Fox Run Seller and the Watkins Mill Seller shall (i) provide notice of this Agreement (with a copy to Buyer) to each tenant of their respective Property by first class mail and posting in public areas of their respective Property (each, 

40

a “Seller’s Tenant Notice”), and (ii) provide a ROFR (with a copy to Buyer) to each of DHCA and HOC.  The ROFRs and Seller’s Tenant Notice shall comply in all material respects with the requirements of the County Code Requirements.  The date upon which the ROFRs are received by DHCA and HOC is referred to herein as the “County Notice Date.”  The date upon which the Fox Run Seller or the Watkins Mill Seller mails the Seller’s Tenant Notice to all tenants of its respective Property is referred to herein as the “Tenant Notice Date.”  In the event that a tenant organization with respect to The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property is certified by DHCA within forty-five (45) days of the Tenant Notice Date in accordance with the ROFR and if this Agreement with respect to The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property, as applicable, the has not been terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, Seller shall deliver a ROFR (with a copy to Buyer) to such certified tenant organization within five (5) days of such certification.
(b)    In the event that (i) at any time before the sixtieth (60th) day following the County Notice Date, the Fox Run Seller or the Watkins Mill Seller, as applicable, receives notices from DHCA and HOC stating that DHCA and HOC elect to waive their respective ROFRs, or (ii) neither DHCA nor HOC has exercised its ROFR by the sixtieth (60th) day following the County Notice Date, then promptly thereafter, unless a tenant organization was timely formed and certified as provided in the County Code Requirements and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated with respect to The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property, as applicable, in accordance with the terms hereof, the Fox Run Seller or the Watkins Mill Seller, as applicable, shall request in writing (with a copy to Buyer) that DHCA deliver to such Seller a certificate of compliance certifying that the County Code Requirements have been complied with and that no tenant organization has any further rights under the County Code Requirements (the “Certificate of Compliance”), which Certificate of Compliance shall be substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “O” and otherwise in form reasonably sufficient to permit the Title Company to provide affirmative title insurance coverage to Buyer with respect to the ROFR.  Such Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an executed copy, in recordable form, of the Certificate of Compliance. Such Seller shall notify Buyer promptly if any such officials indicate that any changes to the Certificate of Compliance will be required as a condition precedent to the execution thereof by DHCA.  Such Seller shall deliver to the Title Company and Buyer a copy of any such Certificate of Compliance promptly, but in any event within two (2) Business Days, following Seller’s receipt thereof.  In the event a copy of the Certificate of Compliance executed by DHCA is not delivered to the Title Company and Buyer on or before October 30, 2019, then Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement but only as it relates to The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property, as applicable, upon written notice to Sellers, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void, but only as it relates to The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property, as applicable, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement with respect to such Property, except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement, and except that Buyer shall have the right to the return of the Deposit allocated to such Property in accordance with Section 3(b). “County Code Requirements” means Chapter 11A, Chapter 11C and Chapter 53A of the Montgomery County Code, and any regulations promulgated in connection therewith. The “Montgomery County Condition” is defined as the satisfaction of the County Code Requirements, as evidenced by the issuance of the Certificate of Compliance by the DHCA, or such other reasonable evidence of compliance.  If any of the ROFR Parties exercises its ROFR Seller shall promptly notify 

41

Buyer (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), and each of Buyer and Sellers shall have the right to terminate this Agreement but only as it relates to The Point at Germantown Property or The Point at Watkins Mill Property, as applicable, upon written notice to the other party, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as provided in any section hereof that by its terms expressly provides that it survives any termination of this Agreement, and except that Buyer shall have the right to the return of the Deposit allocated to such Property in accordance with Section 3(b).
(c)    The Fox Run Seller and the Watkins Mill Seller shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days after receipt or delivery, as applicable) provide Buyer and the Title Company, as applicable, with copies of all correspondence and notices received from or delivered to the ROFR Parties in connection with the County Code Requirements.  In no event shall Seller grant any concessions (including, without limitation, extensions of time, rebates or free rent), except to the extent required in accordance with the County Code Requirements discussed herein, and then only after prior written notice to Buyer, in connection with satisfaction of the Montgomery County Condition.
(d)    In accordance with the applicable law in Montgomery County, Maryland, Seller hereby makes the disclosures set forth on Exhibit “P”.
