 TRANSITION SERVICES AGREEMENT 

This Transition Services Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made this     day of December, 2011, between Sears
Holdings Management Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“SHMC”), and Orchard Supply Hardware Stores Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“OSH”), (each a “Party” and collectively the
“Parties”). Section 6.16 of this Agreement, which begins on page 12, includes a glossary of defined terms used in this Agreement. 
 RECITALS 
 WHEREAS, Sears Holdings Corporation (“SHLD”) and OSH
are entering into a Distribution Agreement (“Distribution Agreement”) that, among other things, provides for the distribution of shares of OSH’s Class A Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock to holders of SHLD’s
common stock (the “Distribution”); 
 WHEREAS, Sears, Roebuck and Co. (“Sears Roebuck”) has
been providing various support services to OSH in accordance with the terms of a Services Agreement dated November 23, 2005 between Sears Roebuck and Orchard Supply Hardware LLC, as amended, which agreement (the “Services
Agreement”) has expired in accordance with its terms; 
 WHEREAS, OSH requests SHMC, a subsidiary of SHLD, to provide
support services to OSH and its subsidiaries following the Distribution and SHMC is willing to provide support services to OSH and its subsidiaries following the Distribution, on the terms and conditions set forth below; 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each of SHMC and OSH,
for themselves and their successors and assigns, mutually covenant and agree as follows: 
 ARTICLE I 

SERVICES 
 1.01
Services to be Provided. During the Service Period, SHMC will provide OSH the services described on Schedule A, in a manner consistent with past practice (collectively, the “Services”); provided, however, that,
notwithstanding Section 3.07 below or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, such Services will not include, and SHMC will not be obligated to provide any service to OSH, the provision of which, following the Distribution, would
constitute a violation of any Law or agreement. As used herein, the “Service Period” means the period commencing on the date the Distribution becomes effective in accordance with the Distribution Agreement (the “Effective
Date”) and continuing until the Termination Date. 

  
 1 

 1.02 Quantity and Nature of Service. OSH acknowledges that the quantity and nature of
each Service to be provided by SHMC will be substantially consistent with the level of such services provided by Sears Roebuck to OSH prior to the date hereof. Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.01 or this Section 1.02, there will
be no material change in the scope of, or use by OSH of, Services during the Service Period (including changes requiring the hiring or training of additional employees by SHMC) without the mutual written agreement of the Parties and adjustments, if
any, to the charges for such Services; provided, however, SHMC may make changes from time to time in the manner of performing Services, if SHMC is making similar changes in performing or the performance of the same or substantially similar services
for itself or its Affiliates. OSH will not resell any Services, provide the Services to any joint-venture or non-wholly owned subsidiary or otherwise use the Services in any way other than in connection with the conduct of OSH’s internal
business consistent with past practice with Sears Roebuck. 
 1.03 Transition Plan. On a periodic basis (at least
quarterly) throughout the Service Period, OSH will provide SHMC with current information and reasonable assistance concerning OSH’s plans for transitioning the performance of all Services to OSH or its designees prior to the completion of the
Service Period. SHMC will provide OSH with such information as is reasonably necessary to assist OSH with such transition. 

1.04 Standard of Care. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, SHMC does not assume any responsibility under this
Agreement other than to render the Services in good faith, without willful misconduct or gross negligence. SHMC makes no other guarantee, representation, or warranty of any kind (whether express or implied) regarding any of the Services provided
hereunder, and expressly disclaims all other guarantees, representations, and warranties of any nature whatsoever, whether statutory, oral, written, express or implied, including any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
and any warranties arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. 
 1.05 Responsibility For Errors; Delays.
SHMC’s sole responsibility to OSH for errors or omissions in Services caused by SHMC will be to furnish correct information, payment or adjustment in the Services, and if such errors or omissions are solely or primarily caused by SHMC, SHMC
will furnish such corrections at no additional cost or expense to OSH if OSH promptly advises SHMC of such error or omission. 

1.06 Good Faith Cooperation; Alternatives. SHMC and OSH will use good faith efforts to cooperate with each other in all matters
relating to the provision and receipt of the Services, including acquisition of required third-party contractor consents (if any). If SHMC reasonably believes it is unable to provide any Service because of a failure to obtain third-party contractor
consents or because of impracticability, SHMC will notify OSH promptly after SHMC becomes aware of such fact and the Parties will cooperate to determine the best alternative approach. 

1.07 Use of Third Parties. Subject to the next sentence, SHMC may use any Affiliate or any unaffiliated third-party contractor to
provide the Services to the extent the Affiliate or the unaffiliated third-party contractor provides comparable services to SHMC or, if not, if OSH 

  
 2 

 
gives its prior written consent (which consent OSH will not unreasonably withhold or delay). SHMC’s use of Affiliates and unaffiliated third-party contractors will not affect the Fees or
SHMC’s obligation to provide the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 
 1.08 Assets
of OSH. During the Service Period, (i) SHMC and its Affiliates and third-party contractors may use, at no charge, all of OSH’s Assets which either Sears Roebuck previously used to provide Services or otherwise, to the extent necessary
to perform the Services, and (ii) OSH will consult with SHMC prior to upgrading or replacing such Assets that are reasonably necessary for SHMC to provide the Services. 
 1.09 Ownership of Data and Other Assets. Neither Party will acquire any right, title or interest in any software or other assets, tangible and intangible (“Assets”), that are owned
or licensed by the other and used to provide the Services. All data provided by or on behalf of a Party to the other Party for the purpose of providing the Services will remain the property of the providing Party. To the extent the provision of any
Service involves intellectual property, including software or patented or copyrighted material, or material constituting trade secrets, neither Party will copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile or in any way alter any of such material, or
otherwise use such material in a manner inconsistent with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, without the express written consent of the other Party. 
 1.10 Contact Person. Each Party will appoint a contact person (each, a “Contact Person”) to facilitate communications and performance under this Agreement. Each Party will have the
right at any time and from time to time to replace its Contact Person; Such Party will give notice in writing to the other Party of such replacement. The initial Contact Person of each Party is set forth on Schedule B. 

ARTICLE II 

CHARGES AND PAYMENTS FOR SERVICES 
 2.01 Compensation. 
 (a) Fees. As consideration for
the provision of Services, OSH will pay SHMC the following fees: (i) for the twelve (12) month period commencing on the Effective Date the fixed fees for certain Services as set forth on Schedule A (“Fixed Fees”), payable
in equal monthly installments in advance, on the first business day of each month beginning on the Effective Date, provided that, upon the termination of an individual Service, OSH will pay a pro rata portion of the applicable Fixed Fee
specified on Schedule A, calculated based on the portion of the total respective individual Service(s) actually performed, or expense actually incurred, through the termination date; and (ii) other fees for certain Services at hourly or other
rates (“Other Fees” and together with Fixed Fees the “Fees”). The Human Resources, Tax and Accounting Transition Fees will be paid with the last monthly installment payment of the Fixed Fees under the Agreement.
Fees are set forth on Schedule A. 

  
 3 

 (b) Expenses. In addition to the Fees, OSH will reimburse SHMC for
(i) COBRA expenses advanced by SHMC with respect to OSH’s and its Affiliates’ employees who incur a qualifying event (as defined under COBRA) prior to the Effective Date, (ii) COBRA expenses advanced by SHMC with respect to
OSH’s and its Affiliates’ employees who incur a qualifying event (as defined under COBRA) on or after the Effective Date until such COBRA liability is transferred to an OSH-sponsored group health plan on or after January 1, 2012,
(iii) expenses incurred by SHMC for IT development work on SHMC systems at the request of OSH, and (iv) all other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses actually incurred in its performance of the Services, that are not already included in the
Fees (“Other Expenses”). To the extent reasonably practicable, SHMC will provide OSH with notice of such Other Expenses prior to incurring them. (COBRA expenses, IT development work expenses, and Other Expenses are collectively
referred to as “Expenses”). If directed by SHMC, OSH will pay directly any or all third-party contractors providing Services to or for the benefit of OSH. 
 2.02 Payments. OSH will pay Fixed Fees in accordance with Section 2.01(a). OSH will pay all Other Fees, Expenses and Transaction Taxes within thirty (30) days of SHMC’s valid invoice
to OSH. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all amounts payable under this Agreement will be payable by electronic transfer of immediately available funds to a bank account designated by SHMC from time to time. All amounts remaining unpaid
for more than fifteen (15) days after their respective due date(s) will accrue interest at a rate of the lesser of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the highest rate allowed by law, until paid. 

2.03 Taxes. SHMC’s Fees do not include applicable taxes. OSH will be responsible for the payment of all taxes
payable in connection with the Services including sales, use, excise, value-added, business, service, goods and services, consumption, withholding, and other similar taxes or duties, including taxes incurred on transactions between and among SHMC,
its Affiliates, and third-party contractors, along with any related interest and penalties (“Transaction Taxes”). OSH will reimburse SHMC for any deficiency relating to Transaction Taxes that are OSH’s responsibility under
this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.03 to the contrary, each Party will be responsible for its own income and franchise taxes, employment taxes, and property taxes. The Parties will cooperate in good faith to
minimize Transaction Taxes to the extent legally permissible. Each Party will provide to the other Party any resale exemption, multiple points of use certificates, treaty certification and other exemption information reasonably requested by the
other Party. 
 ARTICLE III 
 TERMINATION AND DEFAULT 
 3.01 Termination of an Individual Service for
Convenience by OSH. OSH, upon providing sixty (60) days written notice to SHMC, may terminate for its convenience any individual Service; but the termination of such Service will have no effect upon the provision of other Services to OSH.

 3.02 Termination of the Agreement. This Agreement will automatically terminate on the first anniversary of the
Effective Date, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the 

  
 4 

 
provisions of this Agreement (including any Schedule). The date of termination in accordance with the preceding sentence is the “Termination Date.” This Agreement may be
terminated prior to the end of the Service Period upon (i) the mutual written agreement of the Parties, (ii) by either Party upon a Default by the other; (iii) the sixtieth (60th) day following SHMC’s receipt of written
notice from OSH terminating the Agreement in its entirety, or (iv) the sixtieth (60th) day following OSH’s receipt of written notice from SHMC terminating the Agreement in its entirety due to a Change in Control of OSH. 

3.03 Default. A Party will be deemed to be in default (“Default”) under this Agreement upon the occurrence of any
one or more of the following events: 
 (a) Failure by the Party to make any undisputed payment when due
hereunder if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof from the other Party; 
 (b) Failure by the Party to perform or observe any material obligation or condition of this Agreement to be performed or observed by such Party, if such failure continues for thirty (30) days after
receipt of written notice thereof is given by the other Party; or 
 (c) The making of a general assignment or
arrangement for the benefit of creditors, the filing of a voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against such Party under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or similar proceeding (unless, in the case of an involuntary filing against
such Party, the petition is dismissed within 60 days), the appointment of a trustee or receiver or the commencement of a similar proceeding to take possession of, or the attachment or other judicial seizure of, substantially all of such Party’s
assets, or the taking by such Party of any action in furtherance of the foregoing. 
 3.04 Effect of Default. Following
the occurrence of a Default by one Party, the other Party may, at its option, terminate or suspend its obligations hereunder. Such right of termination or suspension will be in addition to any other rights or remedies available at law or equity, all
of which will be cumulative. 
 3.05 Termination on Change in Control of OSH. Following a Change in Control of OSH, SHMC
may, at its option and with sixty (60) days advance written notice, terminate the Agreement. A “Change in Control” means a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of OSH (excluding the Distribution), whether in a single
transaction or a series of transactions, a merger, consolidation, or any other transaction or arrangement, the effect of which is that 50% or more of the total voting power entitled to vote in the election of OSH’s board of directors is held by
a Person or Persons other than the Permitted Holders. 
 3.06 Obligations on Termination. Upon termination of this
Agreement, (a) each Party will promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information received from the other Party in connection with this Agreement without retaining a copy thereof, other than one copy for record keeping purposes;
(b) OSH will return to SHMC, as soon as reasonably practicable, all 

  
 5 

 
equipment or other property of SHMC, whether owned, leased, or licensed, and (c) OSH will pay all outstanding Fees for Services rendered and Expenses incurred through the Termination Date.

 3.07 Termination of an Individual Service by SHMC. If an unaffiliated third-party contractor or an Affiliate of SHMC
that provides a Service is unwilling or unable to provide the Service, (ii) the unaffiliated third-party contractor or Affiliate of SHMC does not provide a similar service to SHMC or its Affiliates on terms that are comparable to the terms of
this Agreement, and (iii) SHMC is unable to retain a replacement service provider to provide the Service on terms that are comparable to the terms of this Agreement, SHMC, upon providing ninety (90) days written notice to OSH, may
terminate the Service, but the termination of the Service will have no effect upon the provision of the other Services to OSH. 

ARTICLE IV 

CONFIDENTIALITY 

4.01 Confidentiality. 
 (a) For the purpose of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all non-public information received by a Party, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives (collectively,
the “Receiving Party”) relating to the other Party, its Affiliates, and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”), in connection with this Agreement, including information concerning
pricing, service history, customer information and lists (except to the extent that these may be shared under privacy laws and regulations), sourcing, costs, product specifications and methods of operations, business plans, strategies, financial
information, information technology information, and other proprietary information, regardless of the manner or medium in which it is furnished to or otherwise obtained by the Receiving Party; provided, that the term “Confidential
Information” does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement, (ii) is or was available to the
Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, provided that such information did not become available to the Receiving Party, from a Person who, to the Receiving
Party’s knowledge and at the time of receipt by the Receiving Party of the relevant information, is bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Disclosing Party or
another Person or (iii) was or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, provided that such source is or was (at the time of receipt of the relevant information)
not, to the Receiving Party’s knowledge, bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information with (or other confidentiality obligation to) the Disclosing Party or another Person. 

(b) The receiving Party will not disclose, and will cause its Affiliates and Representatives not to disclose, any
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any Person; provided, however, that each Party will be responsible in any event for the acts or omissions of its Affiliates and Representatives to whom it discloses the Disclosing
Party’s 

  
 6 

 
Confidential Information; and provided, further, that Confidential Information may be disclosed only: 

(i) to the receiving Party’s Affiliates and Representatives in the normal course of performance of Receiving
Party’s obligations under this Agreement; 
 (ii) by the Receiving Party to the extent required by
applicable law, rule or regulation (including complying with any oral or written questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process to which such Party is subject), with prior
notice, if legally permitted, to the Disclosing Party; 
 (iii) by the Receiving Party, if such Person determines
in good faith that such disclosure is required in order to comply with such Person’s obligations under the federal or state securities laws, rules or regulations, the rules of the NASD or the Nasdaq Stock Market or any other similar body), with
prior notice, if legally permitted, to the Disclosing Party; or 
 (iv) with the prior written consent of the
Disclosing Party. 
 (c) Nothing contained herein will prevent the use (subject, to the extent possible, to a
protective order) of Confidential Information in connection with the assertion or defense of any claim by or against the other Party. 
 (d) Each Party acknowledges that if it breaches this Agreement, the other Party may be irreparably and immediately harmed and may not be made whole by monetary damages. Accordingly, the Disclosing Party,
in addition to any other remedy to which it maybe entitled in law or equity, is entitled to pursue any injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to compel specific performance of this Agreement, without the need for proof
of actual damages. 
 4.02 Third-Party Contractor Confidentiality Terms. If SHMC’s agreement with an unaffiliated
third-party contractor performing Services (“TP Agreement”) includes confidentiality terms that are less restrictive than this Article IV (i.e., the TP Agreement permits broader sharing or disclosure of confidential information than
permitted in this Article IV), then, notwithstanding anything in this Article IV to the contrary, the less-restrictive confidentiality terms of the TP Agreement will (i) control over this Article IV and (ii) govern SHMC’s rights and
obligations in this Article IV regarding the sharing of OSH Confidential Information with the unaffiliated third-party contractor, but in each circumstance only to the extent necessary to permit the unaffiliated third-party contractor to perform the
Services. 

  
 7 

 ARTICLE V 
 INDEMNIFICATION; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 
 5.01 Indemnification by OSH. OSH
will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SHMC and its Affiliates and their respective Representatives from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, penalties, expenses and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind
and nature arising from third-party claims, demands, litigation, and suits related to or arising out of this Agreement (collectively “OSH Claims”), except to the extent that such OSH Claims are caused by: (i) a breach of any
provision of this Agreement by SHMC; or (ii) any negligent act or omission, or willful misconduct of SHMC, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives in performance of this Agreement. 

5.02 Indemnification by SHMC. SHMC will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless OSH and its Affiliates, and their respective
Representatives, from and against any and all costs, liabilities, losses, penalties, expenses and damages (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of every kind and nature arising from third-party claims, demands, litigation, and suits, that:
(i) relate to bodily injury or death of any person or damage to real and/or tangible personal property directly caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of SHMC or its Affiliates during the performance of the Services, or (ii) relate
to the infringement of any copyright or trade secret by an Asset owned by SHMC or its Affiliates and used by SHMC in the performance of the Services (collectively, “SHMC Claims”). Notwithstanding the obligations set forth above in
this Section 5.02, SHMC will not defend or indemnify OSH, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives to the extent that such SHMC Claims are caused by: (a) a breach of any provision of this Agreement by OSH; (b) any negligent
act or omission, or willful misconduct of OSH, its Affiliates, or their respective Representatives in performance of this Agreement; or (c) with respect to infringement claims: (I) OSH’s use of the Asset in combination with any
product or information not provided by SHMC; (II) OSH’s distribution, marketing or use for the benefit of third parties of the Asset; (III) OSH’s use of the Asset other than as contemplated by this Agreement; or (IV) information,
direction, specification or materials provided by or on behalf of OSH. OSH Claims and SHMC Claims are individually referred as a “Claim.” 
 5.03 Procedure. In the event of a Claim, the indemnified Party will give the indemnifying Party prompt notice in writing of the Claim; but the failure to provide such notice will not release the
indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under this Article except to the extent the indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure. Upon receipt of such notice the indemnifying Party will assume and will be entitled to control
the defense of the Claim at its expense and through counsel of its choice, and will give notice of its intention to do so to the indemnified Party within 20 business days of the receipt of such notice from the indemnified Party. The indemnifying
Party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified Party, (i) settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the delivery by the claimant or
plaintiff to the indemnified Party of a written release from all liability in respect of the Claim or (ii) settle or compromise any Claim in any manner that may adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or
other monetary payments that are indemnified hereunder. The 

  
 8 

 
indemnified Party will have the right at its own cost and expense to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense of any Claim. 

5.04 Limitation of Liability. Except for (i) each Party’s indemnity and defense obligations as set forth in Sections
5.01, 5.02, and 5.03 and other liabilities to unaffiliated third parties and (ii) breach of Section 1.09, in no event will either Party be liable for any consequential, incidental, indirect, special, or punitive damages, losses or expenses
(including business interruption, lost business, lost profits, or lost savings) even if it has been advised of their possible existence. The sole liability of SHMC and its Affiliates for any and all claims in any manner related to this Agreement
will be the payment of direct damages, not to exceed (for all claims in the aggregate) the Fees received by SHMC under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, SHMC will not be liable for damages caused by
SHMC’s third-party contractors; however, to the extent permitted in a TP Agreement, SHMC will pass through to OSH applicable rights and remedies under the respective TP Agreement. 

ARTICLE VI 

MISCELLANEOUS 

6.01 Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein in connection with the provision of the Services, each Party will bear its own
expenses with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. 
 6.02 Waiver of Compliance . Any failure of a
Party to comply with any obligation, covenant, agreement or condition in this Agreement may be waived in writing by the other Party, but such waiver or failure to insist upon strict compliance with such obligation, covenant, agreement or condition
will not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure. 
 6.03 Amendment. Subject
to the next sentence, this Agreement may not be amended except by a written amendment signed by each Party. If with respect to a proposed amendment to this Agreement the Second Amended and Restated Stockholders’ Agreement dated December __,
2011 among ESL, ACOF, OSH, and other parties signatory thereto (as amended from time to time, the “Stockholders’ Agreement”) requires that such amendment be approved by a Class B/C Director (as defined in the Stockholders’
Agreement), then such amendment will not be effective to amend this Agreement until the requirement is met. 
 6.04
Assignment. OSH may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of SHMC, to be withheld in SHMC’s absolute discretion. Any Change in Control of OSH will constitute an assignment of this
Agreement, for which SHMC’s prior written consent is required. SHMC may freely assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates without the prior consent of OSH; provided, that any such assignment will not
relieve SHMC of it obligations hereunder. This 

  
 9 

 
Agreement will be binding on, and will inure to the benefit of, the successors and assigns of the Parties. 
 6.05 Notices. All notices, requests, demands, waivers and other communications required or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been duly given
(i) when delivered by hand, (ii) three business days after it is mailed, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, (iii) on the same business day when sent by facsimile if the transmission is
completed before 5:00 p.m. recipient’s time, or one business day after the facsimile is sent, if the transmission is completed on or after 5:00 p.m. recipient’s time or (iv) one business day after it is sent by Express Mail, Federal

 B - 2OTHER INTEREST AGREEMENT

 EXHIBIT 10.1 
 OTHER INTEREST AGREEMENT 
 This Other Interest Agreement (this
“Agreement”) is made effective as of December 2, 2011, by and among ERP Operating Limited Partnership, an Illinois limited partnership (“Equity”), and each of BIH ASN LLC (“BIH”), Archstone
Equity Holdings Inc. (“AEH” and, collectively with BIH, “Barclays”), Bank of America, N.A. (“BANA”) and Banc of America Strategic Ventures, Inc. (“BofA Strategic”, and, collectively
with BANA, “Bank of America”). Barclays and Bank of America are sometimes referred to herein as “Owners” and, each, an “Owner.” Equity and Owners are sometimes referred to herein as the
“Parties” and each, a “Party.” 
 RECITALS: 

WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Parties have entered into that certain Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Interest
Purchase Agreement”) with respect to the acquisition by Equity (or an Affiliate of Equity designated by Equity) of the Purchased Interests; 
 WHEREAS, the purchase and sale of the Purchased Interests pursuant to the Interest Purchase Agreement is subject to the ROFO Right (as defined in the Bridge Equity Providers Agreement) of certain
Bridge Equity Providers and, in lieu of paying a break-up fee to Equity in the event such ROFO Right is exercised with respect to the Purchased Interests and the Purchased Interests are sold pursuant thereto, the Owners have agreed to provide to
Equity, and Equity is willing to accept, the option to purchase the Other Interests on the terms and conditions set forth herein; 
 WHEREAS, the Parties desire to enter into certain arrangements with respect to the Equity Interests held by Owners in the Primary Archstone Entities (other than the Purchased Interests); and

 WHEREAS, capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Interest Purchase Agreement. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties, intending to be legally bound hereby, agree as follows: 
 1. Option. 
  

	 	(a)	 Each of Owners hereby grants to Equity an option (the “Option”) to acquire (either directly or through an Affiliate of Equity
designated by Equity) all right, title and interest of each such Owner in all interests, including all Equity Interests and voting interests, held by such Owner in the Archstone Entities, other than the Purchased Interests (collectively, the
“Other Interests”), free and clear of any Liens (other than restrictions on transfer by Equity (or its designee) imposed under applicable securities Laws, the Voting Agreement, the Bridge Equity Providers Agreement and the
Organizational Documents of the Primary Archstone Entities). Such Option shall solely be exercisable in 

	 	
the event that Equity or an Affiliate thereof shall not have acquired the Purchased Interests under the Interest Purchase Agreement and a Bridge Equity Provider shall have exercised its right of
first offer with respect to the Purchased Interests in accordance with the terms of the Bridge Equity Providers Agreement and the sale of the Purchased Interests to such Bridge Equity Provider (or its nominee) shall have been consummated (the date
of such acquisition of the Purchased Interests by the applicable Bridge Equity Provider, the “ROFO Acquisition Date”). Subject to the preceding sentence, Equity shall have the right to exercise the Option by providing written notice
to Owners (the “Exercise Notice”) at any time during the period commencing on the ROFO Acquisition Date and ending on the 30th day following the ROFO Acquisition Date for a purchase price, payable in cash, in an amount set forth in the Exercise
Notice that is greater than or equal to $1,325,000,000. The purchase of the Other Interests upon exercise of the option granted hereunder shall be made pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement (the “Other Interest Purchase
Agreement”) on substantially the same terms and conditions as those contained in the Interest Purchase Agreement, with only such changes as are reasonably necessary to reflect the different Equity Interests being purchased and sold
thereunder and the fact that Owners will no longer hold any Equity Interests in the Primary Archstone Entities following the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the terms of, and to
execute and deliver, the Other Interest Purchase Agreement as promptly as reasonably practicable, and in any event no later than 7 Business Days, following the delivery of the Exercise Notice. 

 

	 	(b)	In addition to the general provisions described in Section 1(a), the Other Interest Purchase Agreement shall include the following provision:

 “In the event this Agreement shall be terminated by any Party in accordance with Section 13.1.4 due
to the inability of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.3 to be satisfied, then the Sellers shall pay to Buyer within 10 days following the date that Sellers sell the Purchased Interests pursuant to the exercise of a right of first
offer, an amount equal to (x) one dollar ($1.00) for each, if any, one dollar ($1.00) received by Sellers for such sale in excess of $1,325,000,000, up to $1,365,000,000 and (y) fifty cents ($0.50) for each, if any, one dollar ($1.00)
received by Sellers for such sale in excess of $1,365,000,000, up to $1,445,000,000 (any amounts payable pursuant to clause (x) and (y) above, the “Breakup Fee”); provided that each Seller shall only be responsible for its
ratable portion of such Breakup Fee based on the percentage of the aggregate purchase price that was received by such Seller in such sale of the Purchased Interests; provided further that under no circumstances pursuant to this Section
            shall (i) Barclays be responsible for an amount payable under the Breakup Fee in excess of $37,947,532, (ii) BANA be responsible for an amount payable under the
Breakup Fee in excess of $42,004,166 or (iii) BofA Strategic be responsible for an amount payable under the Breakup Fee in excess of $48,302.” 

  
 2 

	 	(c)	For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall the Breakup Fee and the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount both be payable. 

 

	 	(d)	Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Other Interest Purchase Agreement, the Barclays Guarantor will execute and deliver a Guarantee, in substantially the
same form as the Guarantee relating to the Interest Purchase Agreement, under which the Guaranteed Obligations will be the full and punctual payment of the Break-up Amount (as described in the preceding paragraph) relating to the Other Interests
owned by Barclays. 

  

	 	(e)	The Expiration Date with respect to the Other Interest Purchase Agreement will be June 2, 2012. 

2. Subsequent Documents. Each of the parties hereto shall execute such further instruments and assurances to provide such other
documents as may be reasonably required to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement. 
 3. Benefit and Burden. All terms
of this Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the Parties and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives and successors. Except as otherwise expressly stated herein, no provision of this Agreement is
intended or shall confer on any person, other than the parties hereto (and their successors and permitted assignees), any rights under this Agreement. 
 4. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed and delivered in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument. It is the express intent of the Parties to be bound by the exchange of signatures on this Agreement via facsimile or electronic mail via the portable document format (PDF). A facsimile or other copy of a signature shall be deemed an
original. This Agreement shall become effective when each party hereto shall have received a counterpart hereof signed by all of the other parties hereto. Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by the other parties
hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or written agreement or other communication). 

5. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed, performed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware
(without giving effect to its principles or rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require or permit the application of the laws of another jurisdiction). 

6. Jurisdiction and Venue 
 (a) Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or Proceeding with respect to this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder, or for recognition and enforcement of any
judgment in respect of this Agreement and the rights and obligations arising hereunder brought by the other Party or its successors or assigns, shall be brought and determined exclusively in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware and any
state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware. Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably submits with regard to any such action or Proceeding for itself and in respect of its 

  
 3 

 
property, generally and unconditionally, to the personal jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts, agrees that it will not bring any Proceeding relating to this Agreement in any court other than the
aforesaid courts and waives any objection to venue laid therein. Process in any such Proceeding may be served on any Party anywhere in the world, whether within or without the State of Delaware. Without limiting the foregoing, Sellers and Buyer
agree that service of process upon such Party at the address referred to in Section 14.1 of the Interest Purchase Agreement, together with written notice of such service to such Party, shall be deemed effective service of process upon such
Party. 
 (b) Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise,
in any Proceeding with respect to this Agreement, (i) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the above named courts for any reason other than the failure to serve in accordance with Section 14.1 of the Interest
Purchase Agreement, (ii) any claim that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment
in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise), and (iii) to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable Law, any claim that (i) the Proceeding in such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue
of such Proceeding is improper, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts. 
 7. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority to be invalid, void or unenforceable,
such term, provision, covenant or restriction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement, and the remainder of the terms,
provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby are not
affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such a determination, the parties hereto shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to affect the original intent of the parties as
closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
 8. Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with the terms hereof and that,
each of the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof pursuant to this Section 8 in addition to any other remedy at law or in equity, including specific performance to require the other Parties to execute and
deliver the Other Interest Purchase Agreement in accordance with Section 1 hereof. It is accordingly agreed that any Owner or Equity shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief to prevent breaches
of this Agreement by the other Parties and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity, without the necessity of posting bonds or other
undertaking in connection therewith. Any requirements for the securing or posting of any bond with such remedy are hereby waived. 

  
 4 

 9. Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically and
simultaneously with the earlier to occur of (i) the
30th day following the ROFO Acquisition Date, if the
Option has not been exercised or (ii) the termination of the Interest Purchase Agreement, except that this Agreement shall not terminate and shall remain in full force and effect if the Interest Purchase Agreement is terminated by any Party in
accordance with Section 13.1.4 of the Interest Purchase Agreement due to the inability of the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 7.3 of the Interest Purchase Agreement to be satisfied.
