 TITLE, SURVEY, AND SEARCHES

  
 Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance.
Within fourteen (14) days following the date the Survey (as defined in Section 2.2) is received by Seller from the Surveyor, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser, an ALTA title insurance commitment (the “Title Commitment”) covering the
Land and Improvements from First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), showing all matters affecting title to the Property and binding the Title Company to issue at Closing an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance
Form 1992 (revised 10-17-92) in the full amount of the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.5 hereof, together with true and complete copies of all instruments referenced in Schedule B thereof. It shall be Purchaser’s responsibility to
negotiate with the Title Company for the insurance of the title endorsements set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto. 
  
 Survey. Seller shall use its best efforts to deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company, within twenty-one (21) days following the Effective Date,
a survey of the Land and Improvements (the “Survey”), dated after the Effective Date, prepared by a Michigan licensed surveyor reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, certified to Purchaser and the Title Company, prepared according to
the “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys” as adopted by ALTA and ACSM in 1999, which shall include the following Additional Survey Requirements shown on Table A thereof – 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(1),
7(c), 8, 9, 10, 11(a), 13, 14, 15, and 16. Following the completion of the Redevelopment Work and the subdivision of the Total Site, Seller, at its expense, shall deliver to Purchaser an updated Survey of the Land and Improvements. 
  
 Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections. Purchaser shall have
fifteen (15) days following its receipt of the Title Commitment (together with the documents of record referred to in Section 2.1) and the Survey referred to in Section 2.2, whichever is later, to notify Seller, in writing, of such
objections as Purchaser may have to anything contained in the Title Commitment (including title endorsements to be issued pursuant to Section 2.1) or the Survey (“Unpermitted Exceptions”). Any item contained in the Title
Commitment or any matter shown on the Survey to which Purchaser does not object during said fifteen (15) day period shall be deemed a Permitted Exception. In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of any Unpermitted Exceptions prior to the
expiration of said fifteen (15) day period, Seller shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of delivery of Purchaser’s notice to have such Unpermitted Exceptions removed from the Title Commitment or the Survey, as applicable, and provide
satisfactory evidence thereof to Purchaser. If Seller fails to have such Unpermitted Exceptions removed within said fifteen (15) day period, Purchaser, as its sole option, may elect, on or before the later of (y) the expiration of the Contingency
Period (as hereinafter defined), and (z) a period of ten (10) days following the 
  

 26 

 expiration of the fifteen (15) day period set forth in the preceding sentence for Seller’s removal of Unpermitted
Exceptions, to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, or (ii) accept the title to the Land and Improvements subject to all such Unpermitted Exceptions that Seller has failed to have
removed with the further right to deduct from the Purchase Price amounts secured by or constituting unpermitted items or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount, and/or cause the Title Company to issue its endorsement insuring against
damage caused by such Unpermitted Exceptions and deduct from the Purchase Price the cost of the premiums and security provided for said endorsement, as the case may be; provided that if the aggregate amount of such premiums and security for the
removal of Unpermitted Exceptions exceeds Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000) and if Purchaser elects to pay such excess amount, Seller shall pay the initial Twenty Thousand Dollars ($20,000). In the event Purchaser terminates this Agreement due to an
Unpermitted Exception intentionally and willfully created or suffered by Seller for the purpose of hindering, undermining, or preventing the consummation of the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall be paid by Seller the actual cost
incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, not to exceed $50,000, in addition to the return of the Earnest Money. Purchaser’s exercise of the foregoing right shall not be deemed a waiver or release
of any of its remedies, at law or in equity, or pursuant to this Agreement, for default if said Unpermitted Exceptions were intentionally or willfully caused or suffered through Seller or any party claiming by, through, or under Seller. 

 
 Tax Lien and Judgment Searches. Within twenty-five (25) days
following the Effective Date, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense, may elect to obtain searches of the records of the Recorder of Deeds of Kent County, Michigan, the Secretary of State of Michigan, and the U.S. District Court for the Western
District of Michigan to determine whether there are any security interests, judgments, tax liens, or bankruptcy proceedings, which affect or could affect the Property or any interests therein to be transferred to Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement. If said searches disclose the existence of any security interests, judgments, tax liens, or bankruptcy proceedings, which affect or could affect Seller’s interest in the Property (except Permitted Exceptions), Seller shall have
fifteen (15) days from the date thereof to secure the release, satisfaction, or termination (as appropriate) of same and provide satisfactory evidence thereof to Purchaser. If Seller fails to secure such release, satisfaction, or termination (as
appropriate), Purchaser may elect upon notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Contingency Period to (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall promptly be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) accept title subject to
such unpermitted exceptions with the further right to deduct from the Purchase Price amounts secured by or constituting any such security interests, judgments, and tax liens (other than Permitted Exceptions) of a definite or ascertainable amount.
Purchaser’s exercise of the foregoing right shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any of its remedies, at law or in equity or pursuant to this Agreement, for default if said security interests, judgments, tax liens, or bankruptcy
proceedings were intentionally and willfully caused or suffered by or through Seller or any party claiming by, through, or under Seller for the purpose of hindering, undermining, or preventing the consummation of the purchase of the Property by
Purchaser. Said searches may be updated at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense as of a date not earlier than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date confirming the absence of such security interests, judgments, tax liens, or bankruptcy
proceedings. 
  
 Conveyance of Title. It shall be a
condition to Closing that Purchaser receive from the Title Company a 1992 Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) covering the Land and Improvements, in the full amount of the Purchase Price with “extended
coverage”, together with the endorsements set forth on Exhibit E attached hereto and made a part hereof, subject to the Permitted Exceptions: 
  
 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Following the substantial completion of the Redevelopment Work (as hereinafter defined) and at least
five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller, at its expense, shall cause the Title Company to issue and deliver to Purchaser a later date Title Commitment with respect to the Land and Improvements only and shall cause a new or updated as-built
Survey of the Land and Improvements only to be issued and delivered to Purchaser. Whether or not Purchaser shall have furnished to Seller any notice of title objections pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may, at or
prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title first raised by the Title Company or the Surveyor between (a) the effective date of the Title Commitment referred to above, and (b) the date on which the transaction contemplated
herein closes. With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same obligation to cure and Purchaser shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or, if such title objections or survey
defects would materially and adversely affect the Property or the title thereto and Seller elects not to cure same in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by
Purchaser pursuant to Section 2.3 and Seller shall be required to cure or insure over (to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction) any liens of a definite or ascertainable amount. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any such matters, the
date for Closing shall be automatically extended by a reasonable additional time to effect such a cure, but in no event shall the extension exceed fifteen (15) days after the date for Closing set forth in Section 5.1 hereof. 
  

 27 

 PURCHASER’S CONTINGENCIES 
  
 Contingencies. During the period beginning on Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) on
the forty-fifth (45th) day following the Effective Date (hereinafter referred to as the “Contingency Period”), Purchaser obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to and contingent upon the satisfaction or waiver by
Purchaser of each of the following: 
  
 (a) Purchaser, at its
sole election, shall have the right to make a physical inspections of the Property, to perform tests on the Property and to examine at such place or places at the Property or elsewhere as the same may be located, any operating files (except for any
confidential information or attorney-client information) maintained by Seller or its property manager in connection with the maintenance and/or management of the Property, including, without limitation, insurance policies, bills, invoices, receipts
and other general records relating to the expenses of the Property, correspondence, surveys, plans and specifications, warranties for services and materials provided to the Property and for the roof and building components of the Property,
engineering reports, environmental audits and similar materials. Purchaser understands and agrees that any on-site inspections or testing of the Property shall be conducted at reasonable times upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written
or telephonic notice to Seller. Any invasive tests regarding the Property or any part thereof shall require the prior written consent of Seller, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. Any such inspections and testing
shall be performed by companies selected by Purchaser. Purchaser agrees to repair any damage to the Property arising out of or resulting from any such inspections or testing and to indemnify Seller against and hold Seller harmless from any claim for
liabilities, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred) damages or injuries arising out of or resulting directly from the inspection or testing of the Property by Purchaser or its consultants or agents; provided,
however, Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any such claim, cost, expenses, damages, or injuries to the extent the same arises out of or results from the negligence or willful acts or omissions of Seller or
its property manager or their respective employees, agents, or contractors; and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to repair and to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive Closing or any termination
of this Agreement. Purchaser shall maintain and shall ensure that Purchaser’s consultants maintain commercial general public liability insurance in an amount not less than $3,000,000 and in a commercially reasonable form with respect to any
claims, damages, liabilities, or losses arising out of the inspections or testing. Purchaser shall deliver to Seller certificates of insurance or other satisfactory evidence with respect to the insurance required by this Section. 
  
 (b) Purchaser shall obtain financing for the purchase of the Property in an
amount and on terms satisfactory to Purchaser. 
  
 (c) The State
of Michigan, Kent County, the City of Kentwood, and the Michigan Economic Development Corporation shall provide incentives in such amounts and on such terms as shall be satisfactory to Purchaser. 
  
 Right of Termination. Seller agrees that in the event Purchaser
determines (such determination to be made in Purchaser’s sole discretion) that any of the contingencies set forth in Section 3.1 have not been satisfied, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice
thereof to Seller within three (3) business days following the expiration of the Contingency Period. If Purchaser timely gives such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser.
If Purchaser falls to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Purchaser shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.2 and, subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. 
  

 28 

 REDEVELOPMENT PLANS; REDEVELOPMENT WORK 
  
 Redevelopment Criteria. Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall redevelop the Total Property in accordance with
the criteria set forth on Exhibit F attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Redevelopment Criteria”), including (but without limitation) the subdivision of the Total Site so that the Land becomes a separate and distinct
subdivided lot in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, the removal of a section of the Total Improvements so that the Improvements located on the Land are separated from the remainder of the Total Improvements, the construction of a
new south exterior wall for the Improvements, the division of all utilities, lighting and heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems in such a manner that the Improvements become a separate, free standing building with all building systems
and utilities, including all site and ground utilities systems, in good operational condition and in compliance with all applicable governmental laws, ordinances, codes, rules, regulations and requirements (collectively, “Laws”).

  
 Redevelopment Plans. Within forty-five (45) days
following the Effective Date Seller, at its expense, shall submit to Purchaser detailed architectural and engineering construction drawings and specifications for the redevelopment of the Land and Improvements consistent with and conforming to the
Redevelopment Criteria (such drawings and specifications are herein collectively referred to as the “Redevelopment Plans”). At each phase of the preparation of the Redevelopment Plans, Seller shall cause its architect and/or
engineer to consult with Purchaser and its consulting engineer in an effort to ensure that the scope of the Redevelopment Plans conform to the Redevelopment Criteria. Within ten (10) days after receipt by Purchaser of the Redevelopment Plans,
Purchaser (i) shall give its written approval thereto or (ii) if Purchaser reasonably believes that the work shown on Redevelopment Plans does not comply with the Redevelopment Criteria, shall request in writing revisions or modifications to the
Redevelopment Plans. Seller shall submit such revisions or modifications to Purchaser within ten (10) days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice. Within ten (10) days following receipt by Purchaser of such revisions or modifications, Purchaser
shall give its written approval thereto or shall request other revisions or modifications therein (but relating only to the extent Seller has failed to comply with Purchaser’s earlier requests). The preceding two sentences shall be implemented
repeatedly until Purchaser gives its written approval to the Redevelopment Plans. If Purchaser shall fail to respond to the Redevelopment Plans with its approval or request for revisions/modifications within the time period(s) provided above, such
failure shall be deemed Purchaser’s approval of the Redevelopment Plans. The Redevelopment Plans as approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser shall herein be referred to as the “Final Redevelopment Plans”. Seller shall be
responsible for all elements of the design of the Redevelopment Plans (including, without limitation, compliance with laws, functionality of all building, electrical, and mechanical systems, and the structural integrity of the design), and
Purchaser’s approval of the Redevelopment Plans shall in no event relieve Seller of the responsibility for such design. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Redevelopment Work” shall mean all the work, equipment and
improvements which are necessary or required to complete the redevelopment of the Land and Improvements in accordance with the Final Redevelopment Plans. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Seller and Purchaser do not agree
as to the Final Redevelopment Plans by the forth-fifth (45th) day following the date on which the Redevelopment Plans are delivered to Purchaser (the “Outside Redevelopment Plan Approval Date”), then either Seller or Purchaser may
elect, by delivering written notice to the other party at any time following the Outside Redevelopment Plan Approval Date, to terminate this Agreement. In addition, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this
Section 4.2 at any time after Seller delivers the Redevelopment Plans to Purchaser to and including the Outside Redevelopment Plan Approval Date. If Seller or Purchaser timely gives said notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate
and the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser. Neither party shall have the right of termination under this Section 4.2 once the Redevelopment Plans have been approved by Purchaser and thereby become the Final Redevelopment
Plans. 
  
 Seller Change Orders. At any time after the
Final Redevelopment Plans are approved (or deemed approved) by Purchaser and thereafter throughout Seller’s prosecution of Redevelopment Work, Seller shall be permitted to direct changes in the Redevelopment Work (each a “Seller Change
Order”). Within five (5) days of its receipt of any material Seller Change Order Purchaser (i) shall give its written approval thereto or (ii) if Purchaser reasonably believes that the Seller Change Order does not comply with the
Redevelopment Criteria, shall request revisions or modifications to the Seller Change Order. Upon its receipt of any such request from Purchaser, Seller, if it wishes to pursue such Seller Change Order, shall submit such revisions or modifications
to Purchaser. Within five (5) days following receipt by Purchaser of such revisions or modifications, Purchaser shall give its written approval thereto or shall request other revisions or modifications therein (but relating only to the extent Seller
has failed to comply with Purchaser’s earlier requests). The preceding two sentences shall 
  

 29 

 be implemented repeatedly until Purchaser gives its written approval to the Seller Change Order. If Purchaser fails to
make a submission or furnish a response timely in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Seller Change Order in question. Once approved or deemed approved by Purchaser, the Seller
Change Order shall become part of the Final Redevelopment Plans and the work shown on such Seller Change Order shall be part of the Redevelopment Work. For the purpose of this Section 4.3, Seller shall not unreasonably withhold, delay, or
condition its approval of any Seller Change Order request. Any dispute between Seller and Purchaser arising out of or related to any material Seller Change Order shall, if not resolved within twenty (20) days after submission of the Seller Change
Order to Purchaser, be subject to mediation as a condition precedent to arbitration. The parties shall endeavor to resolve their dispute under this Section 4.3 by mediation which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in
accordance with the Construction Industry Mediation Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect. The parties shall share the mediator’s fees equally. The mediation shall be held in the place where the Property is located,
unless another location is mutually agreed upon. Any dispute under this Section not resolved by mediation shall be decided by binding arbitration which, unless the parties mutually agree otherwise, shall be in accordance with the Construction
Industry Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association currently in effect. 
  
 Performance of Redevelopment Work. Seller may perform the Redevelopment Work with any qualified and experienced general contractor(s), construction manager(s), subcontractors and trade contractors as Seller
elects. Seller shall perform the Redevelopment Work in accordance with (i) the Final Redevelopment Plans, (ii) any Seller Change Orders approved or deemed approved by Purchaser, (iii) good construction practices and (iv) all Laws. The Redevelopment
Work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner, and only new and first class materials shall be used. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Seller’s efforts to obtain any permits, certificates or final approvals in connection with
any portion of the Redevelopment Work, including, without limitation, executing and delivering any documents or instruments that Purchaser is required to sign and which are reasonably required by Seller in connection therewith. If Seller cannot
obtain any required permits, approvals or certificates in connection with any portion of the Redevelopment Work, then Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of same and Seller shall take all reasonable actions necessary to enable Seller to obtain
such permits, approvals or certificates. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substantially complete the Redevelopment Work on or before the 180th day following the date the Final Redevelopment Plans are approved by Purchaser (the
“Scheduled Redevelopment Completion Date”). The Scheduled Redevelopment Completion Date shall be extended one day for each work day the progress of the Redevelopment Work is delayed due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event (as
defined in Section 12.14). 
  
 “Substantially complete”
means: 
  
 completing Redevelopment Work in
accordance with the Final Redevelopment Plans so that the only incomplete items are minor or insubstantial details of construction or mechanical adjustments; 
  

securing a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy from the City of Kentwood if required by applicable municipal ordinance,
except that Seller shall not be required to obtain any certificate of occupancy that may be required in connection with any construction or renovation work that may be performed by Purchaser; 
  
 Purchaser, its employees, agents, and invitees have ready
access to the Improvements through the lobby, entranceways, elevators, and hallways; 
  
 the fixtures, and equipment to be installed by Seller are installed and in good operating order; and 
  
 the Improvements are broom clean with all trash and debris
removed. 
  
 At least five (5) days before the Closing Date, the
parties shall inspect the Property, have all systems demonstrated, and prepare a punchlist. The punchlist shall list incomplete, minor, or insubstantial details of construction and necessary mechanical adjustments. Seller will complete the
punchlist items as soon as reasonably possible, but in no event later than thirty (30) days, or the additional time, if any, reasonably 
  

 30 

 necessary to promptly and diligently complete all punchlist items. Prior to the Closing Date, Seller
shall cause its contractor to estimate in good faith the cost of the labor and materials needed to complete all punchlist items. At the time of Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall enter into a joint order escrow with Escrow Agent, into which net
proceeds of sale in the amount of such cost estimate shall be deposited. Upon the proper completion of all punchlist items, the parties shall direct Escrow Agent to disburse the holdback funds to Seller. If Seller fails to timely complete any
punchlist items, Purchaser may elect to complete such items and shall be entitled to have disbursed from the holdback escrow an amount equal to the cost to Purchaser of having such punchlist items completed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the
aggregate estimate for all punchlist items is greater than $50,000, either party, by giving written notice to other party, may declare the Redevelopment Work to not be substantially complete, in which case Seller shall cause items on the punchlist
to be completed to the extent that the cost estimate for the remaining punchlist items is equal to or less than $50,000 as of the Closing Date. 
  
 Purchaser Late Days. If there shall be any Purchaser Late Days (as defined below), which delay the completion of the Redevelopment Work beyond the
Scheduled Redevelopment Completion Date as such date may be extended due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, then the Scheduled Renovation Completion Date, the Outside Completion Date (as hereinafter defined) and the Closing Date shall be
extended one day for each Purchaser Late Day; provided, however, for the purpose of prorating taxes and other items pursuant to this Agreement, the Closing shall be deemed to be advanced by the number of Purchaser Late Days. For purposes hereof, the
term “Purchaser Late Day” shall mean (a) each day in any period beginning on the day after the day on which Purchaser is required to make a submission or furnish a response under Section 4.2. and ending on the day on which
Purchaser makes the submission or furnishes the response, both days inclusive, (b) each day Seller is delayed in commencing, prosecuting or completing the Redevelopment Work by reason of any act, neglect, failure or omission by Purchaser in the
performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Article IV, and (c) each day Seller is delayed in commencing, prosecuting or completing the Redevelopment Work by reason of Purchaser’s failure to cooperate with Seller in connection
with the performance by Seller of the Redevelopment Work (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s failure to execute and deliver any documents or instruments which Purchaser is required to sign and which are reasonably required by Seller in
connection with Seller’s efforts to obtain any permits, certificates or final approvals in connection with any Redevelopment Work). 
  
 Delay Damages; Right to Terminate. If the Property is not Ready for Occupancy (as defined in Section 5.1 hereof) by the Scheduled
Redevelopment Completion Date, as said date may be extended due to Purchaser Late Days, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of $3500 per day for the number of days following the Scheduled Redevelopment Completion Date, as said date may
be extended due to Purchaser Late Days, to and including the date that the Property is Ready for Occupancy. Such per diem reduction in the Purchase Price (“Delay Damages”) shall constitute liquidated damages and not a penalty.

  
 Purchaser may terminate this Agreement if the Property is not Ready for
Occupancy or Seller cannot deliver actual vacant possession of the substantially complete Land and Improvements through no fault of Purchaser within ninety (90) days after the Scheduled Redevelopment Completion Date, as said date may be extended due
to Purchaser Late Days (the “Outside Completion Date”). To terminate, Purchaser must give notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after the Outside Completion Date and before Seller gives notice to Purchaser that the Redevelopment
Work is substantially complete. The time period set forth in this Paragraph shall be extended one day for each Purchaser Late Day, but not by reason of the occurrence of any Force Majeure Event. Promptly after such termination, Seller shall return
to Purchaser all Earnest Money. If Seller’s failure to substantially complete the Redevelopment Work by the Outside Completion Date is due to the occurrence of one or more Force Majeure Events and if as a result thereof Seller so elects to
terminate this Agreement, then 
  

 31 

 such termination and the return of the Earnest Money to Purchaser shall be Purchaser’s sole remedy. If Seller’s
failure to substantially complete the Redevelopment Work by the Outside Completion Date is for any reason other than the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event and for the purpose of hindering, undermining, or preventing the consummation of the
purchase of the Property by Purchaser, and Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section, then in addition to the return to Purchaser of the Earnest Money, Purchaser may seek to recover its actual, documented out-of-pocket
costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with this transaction. If, however, Seller’s failure to substantially complete the Redevelopment Work by the Outside Completion Date is for the purpose of intentionally and willfully hindering,
undermining, or preventing the consummation of the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, and Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section, then in addition to the return to Purchaser of the Earnest Money, Purchaser may seek
to recover its damages from Seller for Seller’s failure to timely complete such Redevelopment Work. 
  
 Warranty of Redevelopment Work. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing a written warranty from the Contractor (as hereinafter defined) in
favor of Purchaser, which shall be in the form of Exhibit H hereto. Seller’s contractor for the purpose of providing such construction warranty is A. J. Veneklasen Incorporated (“Contractor”). 
  
 No Cost or Liability of Purchaser. Seller agrees that Purchaser shall
not be required to perform any work or incur any costs in connection with the Redevelopment Work. 
  
 Disputes. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with the Redevelopment Plans or the Redevelopment Work shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with construction industry rules of the American Arbitration Association. 
  
 ARTICLE IVA 
  
 PRIVATE
ROADWAY; RECIPROCAL EASEMENT AGREEMENT; 
 SHARED FIRE LOOP AND PUMP HOUSE 
  
 4A.1 Private Roadway. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that there is
an existing private roadway that is located on and that forms a ring around the Total Site (the “Private Roadway”). The Private Roadway has three (3) entrances to and from the Total Site: (i) a main entrance from 44th Street on the
northerly boundary line of the Total Site (the “Main Roadway Entrance”), (ii) a secondary entrance from 44th Street on the northerly boundary line of the Total Site (the “Truck Entrance”); and (iii) an entrance from
Broadmoor Avenue on the southwesterly boundary line of the Total Site (the “Broadmoor Entrance”, and together with the Main Entrance and the Truck Entrance are collectively referred to as the “Private Roadway
Entrances”). The Private Roadway Entrances are identified on Exhibit B hereto. The northerly portion of the Private Roadway, including the Main Entrance and the Truck Entrance, which is located on the Land, shall be conveyed to

nonexclusive easement of ingress and egress over and across the portion of the Private Roadway that will be located on the Land for the benefit of the portion of the Total Site lying south of the Land; (ii) Seller shall grant to Purchaser a
perpetual, nonexclusive easement of ingress and egress over and across the portion of the Private Roadway that will be located on the portion of the Total Site lying south of the Land for the benefit of the Land, (iii) use of the Main Entrance shall

 BOSCH WASTE WATER TANK 
  
 4B.1 Removal of Waste Water Tank. [BOSCH] (“Bosch”)
previously owned and sold the Total Property to Seller and currently occupies a portion of the Total Property pursuant to the terms of a lease between Seller, as landlord, and Bosch, as tenant (the “Bosch Lease”). Pursuant to the
Bosch Lease, Bosch is required to remove a waste water tank and related equipment (the “Waste Water Tank”) and remediate any environmental contamination of the Total Property related thereto. Seller represents to Purchaser that it
has notified Bosch to remove the Waste Water Tank at this time. Seller shall use its best efforts to cause Bosch to complete the removal of the Waste Water Tank and to perform any required remediation work related thereto, all in compliance with
applicable Laws, as soon as commercially and reasonably possible, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall provide to Purchaser at least fifteen (15) days prior to Closing a report from a qualified
environmental engineering firm or other reasonably satisfactory evidence confirming that the Waste Water Tank has been removed properly in compliance with applicable Laws and that indicates that no further testing or remediation work is recommended
in connection with the removal of the Waste Water Tank. To the extent possible, said report should be for the benefit of Purchaser in addition to Seller and/or Bosch such that Purchaser shall be entitled to rely on it. Attached hereto as Exhibit
I is a copy of the environmental indemnity of Bosch set forth in the Bosch Lease. Seller agrees to enforce such indemnity against Bosch, whether before or after Closing, if required, and such obligation shall survive the Closing.

Credits and Prorations. 
  
 The following shall be apportioned with respect to the Property as of 12:01 a.m., on the day of Closing, as if Purchaser were vested with
title to the Property during the entire day upon which Closing occurs: 
  
 general and special real estate taxes and other state or city taxes affecting the Property (collectively “Taxes”) in accordance with Section 5.4(b) below; 
  
 payments under the operating agreements; 
  
 gas, electricity and other utility charges, if any, such
charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing allocated to the Improvements; and 
  
 any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property allocated to the Improvements which are customarily prorated
between a purchaser and a seller in the area in which the Property is located. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything contained in the foregoing provisions, Taxes shall be prorated as of the Closing Date on the basis of the most
recent ascertainable amounts of, or other reliable information in respect to, each such item, and the net credit to Purchaser or Seller shall be credited to the Purchase Price on the Closing Date. If the Property is not a distinct and independent
tax parcel, but is part of a larger tax parcel, then for the purpose of calculating such prorations the parties agree that the taxes attributable to the Land and Improvements constitute one-half of the Taxes for the Total Property. The parties agree
that with respect to any tax bills issued after the Closing (and not covered by the tax proration at Closing) for which the Land and Improvements are not a separate tax parcel distinct from the remainder of the Total Property, the Taxes for said
period shall be divided equally between Seller and Purchaser. Any special assessments, charges or fees, whether state or local, including any interest or penalty which is a lien or charge against the Property on the Closing Date, whether due in full
or in part, shall be charged to Seller and paid in full at Closing, unless Purchaser has agreed to take subject thereto, in which case the Purchase Price shall be reduced by a credit for such amount.

Closing.

allocated as follows: 
  
 Seller shall pay (i)

Purchaser requests; and (iv) one-half (1/2) of any escrow or closing fees charged by the Escrow Agent or Title Company. 
  
 All other costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid by the party incurring same.

 DEFAULT 
  
 Default by Purchaser. If Purchaser defaults under this Agreement for any reason other than Seller’s default or the permitted termination of
this Agreement by either Seller or Purchaser as herein expressly provided, and such default is not cured within five (5) business days after notice thereof from Seller, Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement, receive the Earnest Money

 40 

 RISK OF LOSS 
  
 Minor Damage. In the event of loss or damage to the Property or any portion thereof which is not “major” (as hereinafter defined), this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect provided Seller performs any necessary repairs or, at Seller’s option, assigns to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect
to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date
of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the deductible amount under
Seller’s insurance policy. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser. 
  
 Major Damage. In the event of a “major” loss or damage, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which
event the Earnest Money shall be promptly returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement within twenty (20) days after Seller sends Purchaser written notice of the occurrence of major loss or damage, then Seller and
Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with Closing, in which event Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any
claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in question. In the event that Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property, Seller shall use reasonable
efforts to complete such repairs promptly and the date of Closing shall be extended a reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Purchaser, the Purchase Price shall be reduced
by an amount equal to the deductible amount under Seller’s insurance policy. 
  
 Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2, “major” loss or damage refers to the following: (i) loss or damage to the Property or any portion
thereof such that the cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to a condition substantially identical to that of the premises in question prior to the event of damage would be, in the opinion of an architect selected by Seller and
reasonably approved by Purchaser, equal to or greater than Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and (ii) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and materially impairs the current use of the Property. If Purchaser does not give
notice to Seller of Purchaser’s reasons for disapproving an architect within five (5) business days after receipt of notice of the proposed architect, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the architect selected by Seller. 
  
 COMMISSIONS 
  
 Brokerage Commissions. Each party represents to the other that there has been no broker or finder engaged in
connection with the sale of the Property other than Grubb & Ellis/Paramount (“Seller’s Broker”) and Pollina Corporate Real Estate, Inc. (“Purchaser’s Broker,” and together with Seller’s Broker,
the “Brokers”). Seller will be solely responsible for paying any commission or fee due to Seller’s Broker. Purchaser will be solely responsible for paying any commission or fee due to Purchaser’s Broker. Each party agrees
that should any claim be made for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees by any broker or finder other than the Brokers by, through or on account of any acts of said party or its representatives, said party will indemnify and hold the other
party free and harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense in connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing. 
  
 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO PURCHASE 
  

Right of First Refusal. At the time of Closing Seller and Purchaser shall enter into an agreement in recordable form whereby Seller grants to
Purchaser a right of first refusal to purchase all or any part of the southerly portion of the Total Property (other than the Land and Improvements), which is commonly known as 
  

 41 

 4700 Broadmoor, Grand Rapids, Michigan (the “Remaining Property”), on the same terms and conditions as
contained in a contract to purchase, exchange or otherwise acquire the Remaining Property or any part thereof, which was presented to Seller, or negotiated with Seller, by a bona fide and financially competent purchaser and which Seller is willing
to accept (the “Contract”); provided, however, if the Contract includes the sale of any property in addition to the Remaining Property, then Purchaser’s right of first refusal shall only apply to Remaining Property or the part
thereof described in the Contract and the purchase price therefore shall be fairly and equitably allocated to the Remaining Property or the part thereof to be sold pursuant to the Contract. Upon receipt of, or completion of the negotiation for, the
Contract, Seller shall promptly deliver a copy of the Contract to Purchaser and Purchaser shall have fourteen (14) days within which to notify Seller that Purchaser is exercising this right of first refusal (the “Purchase Offer
Notice”). To be effective the Purchase Offer Notice must include an Earnest Money check in an amount equal to the amount of the initial earnest money required to be deposited under the Contract, which amount shall be deposited with an
escrow agent satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser. If Purchaser so exercises this right of first refusal, then Purchaser shall be deemed to be the purchaser of the Remaining Property to be sold pursuant to the Contract on the same terms and
conditions as contained in the Contract, except that, as indicated above, if the Contract involves the sale of property in addition to the Remaining Property, Purchaser’s right of first refusal shall only apply to the Remaining Property or the
part thereof to be sold pursuant to the Contract and the purchase price therefore shall be allocated accordingly. If Purchaser does not deliver timely notice of its exercise of this right of first refusal, then Seller shall be entitled to proceed to
close the sale of the Remaining Property to be sold pursuant to the Contract with the bona fide purchaser on the terms of the Contract. If any material term of the Contract is changed in any material way to the benefit of the bona fide purchaser,
then Seller shall deliver a copy of the revised Contract or any amendment thereto to Purchaser and this right of first refusal shall again be applicable to the Contract as so revised or amended. 
  
 RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL TO LEASE 
  
 The Offer. Purchaser shall have an ongoing right of first refusal to
lease all or any part of the Remaining Property on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth. If Seller receives a bona fide written offer from a prospective tenant which Seller is prepared to accept, or delivers to a prospective tenant a
written offer or proposal (any such offer or proposal being hereinafter referred to as an “Offer”), for a new lease of any of the Remaining Property, then Seller promptly thereafter shall give notice thereof to Purchaser, which notice
shall be accompanied by a copy of the Offer. Seller may not lease the Remaining Property or any portion thereof without first giving such a notice. Each Offer shall include, at a minimum, the location (including a scaled floor plan) and rentable
area of the space to be leased, the commencement date of the term of the proposed lease, the lease term, the tenant improvement allowance or other concessions, if any, and the rent. Purchaser may elect to lease so much of the Remaining Property as
is described in such Offer by giving notice of such election to Seller within fourteen (14) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such notice from Seller. If Purchaser fails to give such notice within such fourteen (14) day period, Seller shall
have one hundred eighty (180) days after the expiration of said fourteen (14) day period to lease the space described in such Offer to another prospective tenant for a net effective rental rate which is not less than ninety five percent (95%) of the
net effective rent offered to Purchaser in the related Offer notice. If Seller shall not have so leased said space within said 180-day period or if Seller desires to lease said space at a net effective rental rate less than 95% of the rate offered
to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall again have a right of first refusal in accordance with the provisions of this Section with respect to such space and Seller shall again be required to provide Purchaser a new Offer notice hereunder. 
  
 The Lease. If Purchaser elects to lease space pursuant to Section
11.1, then such space shall be leased to Purchaser as of the commencement date set forth in the Offer, upon all of the terms, conditions and provisions of a lease to be negotiated by Seller and Purchaser, each acting in good faith, within fifteen
(15) days, or the additional time, if any, reasonably necessary to complete such negotiations, after Purchaser delivers to Seller the notice exercising its right of first refusal. The rent for such space shall be as set forth in the Offer. All other
applicable terms of the Offer shall be included in the lease.

This Agreement cannot be changed orally, and no executory agreement shall be effective to waive, change, modify or discharge it in whole or in part unless such executory agreement is in writing and is signed by the parties against whom enforcement
of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought. 
  
 Successors and Assigns. The terms and provisions of this Agreement are to apply to and bind the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto. 
  
 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits, contains the entire agreement between the parties
pertaining to the subject matter hereof and fully supersedes all prior written or oral agreements and understandings between the parties pertaining to such subject matter. 
  
 Further Assurances. Each party agrees that it will without further consideration execute and deliver such other
documents and take such other action, whether prior or subsequent to Closing, as may be reasonably requested by the other party to consummate more effectively the purposes or subject matter of this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Purchaser shall, if requested by Seller, execute acknowledgments of receipt with respect to any materials delivered by Seller to Purchaser with respect to the Property. The provisions of this Section 12.7 shall survive Closing.

counterparts, and all such executed counterparts shall constitute the same agreement. It shall be necessary to account for only one such counterpart in proving this Agreement. 
  
 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall nonetheless remain in full force and effect.

 Captions. The section headings appearing in this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and are not intended, to any extent and for any purpose, to limit or define the text of any section or any subsection hereof. 
  
 Force Majeure. If and to the extent that either Seller’s or Purchaser’s performance of any of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement
is prevented, hindered or delayed by fire, flood, earthquake, elements of nature or acts of God, acts of war, terrorism, riots, civil disorders, rebellions or revolutions, or any other similar cause beyond the reasonable control of the prevented,
hindered or delayed entity (each, a “Force Majeure Event”), and such non-performance, hindrance or delay could not have been prevented by reasonable precautions, then the non-performing, hindered or delayed entity shall be excused
for such non-performance, hindrance or delay, as applicable, of those obligations affected by the Force Majeure Event for as long as such Force Majeure Event continues and such entity continues to use its best commercially reasonable efforts to
recommence performance whenever and to whatever extent possible without delay, including through the use of alternate sources, workaround plans or other means. The entity whose performance is prevented, hindered or delayed by a Force Majeure Event
shall immediately notify the other entity of the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event, describe in reasonable detail the nature of the Force Majeure Event and, to the extent the Force Majeure Event causes a delay in the performance of any

MADE, DOES NOT MAKE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, OF, AS TO, CONCERNING OR WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY.

  
 Like Kind Exchange. Seller expressly reserves the right
to assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary” for the purpose of exchanging fee simple title in the Property for other property of like kind and qualifying use within the meaning of Section 1031 of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Regulations promulgated thereunder (the “1031 Exchange Transaction”). However, such assignment will in no way relieve Seller of any obligations or duties under this Agreement. Seller may elect by
written notice to Purchaser made no less than three (3) business days’ prior to the Closing Date to enter into a 1031 Exchange Transaction through a “Qualified Intermediary”, whereupon Seller shall assign this Agreement to such
Qualified Intermediary. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to reasonably cooperate with Seller and the Qualified Intermediary, at no additional cost or liability to Purchaser and without any delay in the time of Closing, to effect the
1031 Exchange Transaction, and to execute and deliver any and all documents which reasonably may be required to effect the 1031 Exchange Transaction.

 SETTLEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT 
  
 THIS SETTLEMENT AND LICENSE AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 12th day of February, 2005 (the “Effective
Date”) between Ariba, Inc. (“Ariba”), on the one hand, and ePlus, Inc. (“ePlus”), on the other hand (referred to collectively herein as the “Parties” or in the singular as “Party”).

and employees. 
  
 WHEREAS, certain disputes have arisen between
the Parties including, without limitation, the claims, defenses and counterclaims asserted by the Parties in the case captioned ePlus, Inc. v. Ariba, Inc., Civil Action No. 1:04-cv-612 (LMB/BRP) (E.D. Va.), now pending in the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (Alexandria Division) (hereinafter referred to as “the Action”); 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties wish to terminate the Action by agreeing to a settlement of all claims, defenses and counterclaims asserted or which could have been
asserted in the Action without any admission by any party to the Action of any liability to any other party to the Action; and 
  
 WHEREAS, the Parties intend to settle and fully resolve all claims, asserted or unasserted, which they have against one another and wish to grant and
deliver the executory patent licenses on the terms and conditions set forth herein: 
  

 NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, mutual covenants and agreements herein contained and
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt, validity, and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows: 
  
 A. DEFINITIONS 
  
 1. “ePlus Patents” means (a) all issued patents owned by ePlus as of the Effective Date of this Settlement and License Agreement; (b) all
patents resulting from pending patent applications owned by ePlus with an effective filing date on or before the Effective Date of this Settlement and License Agreement; (c) all divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, re-issued, reexamined
or continued prosecution and foreign counterpart applications that issue or claim priority from the patents or patent applications in (a), (b), and (d); and (d) all patents purchased or acquired by ePlus within three (3) years of the Effective Date
of this Settlement and License Agreement. A Schedule setting forth the patents covered in (a) as of the Effective Date of this Settlement and License Agreement is attached as Exhibit C. 
  
 2. “Ariba Patents” means (a) all issued patents owned by Ariba as of the Effective Date of this Settlement and
License Agreement; (b) all patents resulting from pending patent applications owned by Ariba with an effective filing date on or before the Effective Date of this Settlement Agreement; (c) all divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part,
re-issued, reexamined or continued prosecution and foreign counterpart applications that issue or claim priority from the patents or patent applications in (a), (b), and (d); and (d) all patents purchased or acquired by Ariba within three (3) years
of the Effective Date of this Settlement and License Agreement. A Schedule setting forth the patents covered in (a) as of the Effective Date of this Settlement and License Agreement is attached as Exhibit D. 
  
 3. “Change in Control” of a Party means (a) the closing of the
sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Party’s assets, (b) the consummation by the Party of a merger or consolidation with or into another entity or other similar transaction (except a merger, consolidation or
other similar transaction in which the holders of capital stock of the Party immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other similar transaction continue to hold at least 50% of the voting power of the capital stock of the Party or the
surviving or acquiring entity), (c) the acquisition by a person or group of affiliated persons of the Party’s securities, 

  

 - 2 - 

 
whether by merger, consolidation, tender offer or otherwise and whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, if, after such acquisition,
such person or group would hold at least a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Party (or the surviving or acquiring entity) or (d) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Party following the formation of a partnership or other
joint venture with a third party in which the Party contributes to such partnership or joint venture (whether by transfer or license) products or the right to use products that would infringe ePlus Patents or Ariba Patents of the other Party if the
Party did not hold a license from the other Party granting it the right to use such patents. “Change in Control” includes any Change in Control as a result of a bankruptcy proceeding and this provision is intended to remain in effect with
respect to such a Change in Control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a “Change in Control” shall not include a transaction if its sole purpose is to change the state of the Party’s incorporation or to create a holding company that will

 7. All payments made under this Section B are non-refundable except in the event of a material breach by ePlus of the representations and warranties contained in Subparagraph(s) 27(c) and/or (d), in which case the payments would be
refundable to the amount of the actual damages incurred by Ariba resulting from that material breach. 
  
 C. DISMISSAL WITH PREJUDICE

 15. Neither Party shall take any action contrary to or inconsistent with Paragraphs 11, 12, 13, and 14 above. 
  
 16. Upon request not more than twice annually, each Party agrees to provide
written notice to the other Party of the issuance of any patent covered by the licenses granted hereunder. 
  
 17. Except as set forth in this Paragraph, the licenses under a Party’s patents granted herein are personal and not transferable or assignable. In
the event of a Change in Control of a Party to an acquiring/surviving entity that takes place within four (4) years of the Effective Date of this Settlement and License Agreement, the acquiring/surviving entity has the option to acquire the licenses
to the ePlus Patents or Ariba Patents (as the case may be) granted herein by paying the licensing Party, ePlus or Ariba (as the case may be), a sum of twenty million dollars ($20,000,000). This option shall expire if not exercised within one (1)
month after the closing of the Change in Control. In the event of a Change in Control of a Party to an acquiring/surviving entity that takes place more than four (4) years after the effective date of this Settlement Agreement, the licenses to the
ePlus Patents or Ariba Patents (as the case may be) granted herein are freely assignable to such an acquiring/surviving entity without payment to ePlus. 
  

 - 6 - 

 18. The patent licenses granted in this Section of the Settlement and License Agreement are executory in
nature within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 365(n). 
  
 19.
Except as specifically set forth in this Section, this Settlement and License Agreement does not grant either Party any license to, or otherwise transfer any rights in, any intellectual property of either Party. 
  
 20. Any failure by Ariba to make the payments called for in Section B
(uncured within 24 hours after notice) shall result in the automatic termination of the patent licenses granted by ePlus to Ariba under this Section. 
  
 21. In the event a Party becomes a debtor in a bankruptcy proceeding, that Party agrees that, within seven (7) calendar days of the commencement of the
bankruptcy proceeding, it will file an expedited motion in the bankruptcy court seeking authorization to either assume or reject the executory patent licenses granted by the other Party. A failure to file and prosecute such a motion, or thereafter
to have failed to assume or reject the executory patent licenses within twenty-five (25) calendar days after the commencement of the bankruptcy proceeding, will result in the immediate and automatic termination of the executory patent licenses
without the need for any action by the other Party. In connection with any assumption, the Party in bankruptcy shall be required to cure all defaults and otherwise shall satisfy the preconditions to assumption described in 11 U.S.C. § 365.

  
 22. If Ariba, or a trustee acting on Ariba’s behalf in a
bankruptcy proceeding, should prosecute against ePlus an action to avoid and recover any portion of the payments paid to ePlus in Paragraph 5 above then, upon entry of an order directing ePlus to make any such payment,
ePlus shall have the right, but not the obligation, to rescind the entirety of this Settlement and License Agreement, including the grant to Ariba of the executory patent license. 
  
 G. RETURN OF CONFIDENTIAL MATERIALS 
  

23. Within sixty (60) days of the execution of this Settlement and License Agreement and the Mutual Release, each Party shall ensure, at its own cost,
compliance with the provisions of Paragraph 13.2 of the Amended Stipulated Protective Order signed by counsel for the Parties 

  

 - 7 - 

 
to the Action, regarding the return of documents and other materials produced in the Action and designated as “Confidential.” Pursuant to that
provision, counsel for the Parties shall ensure that within sixty (60) days of the entry of this Settlement and License Agreement all documents or other materials produced in the Action and labeled as “Confidential” are (at the option of
the producing party) either returned to the party who produced said material or are destroyed and certify in writing to the opposing party that this obligation has been complied with. 
  
 H. PARTIES TO BEAR THEIR OWN COSTS AND FEES 
  
 24. Each party is to bear its own costs and attorneys fees as it relates to the Action. 
  
 I. COURT’S CONTINUING JURISDICTION 
  
 25. The Parties agree that the Court shall retain continuing jurisdiction
over the enforcement of this Settlement and License Agreement. In the event any dispute arises over the terms of this Settlement and License Agreement, the dispute will be heard in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Virginia (Alexandria Division).

interest, and for all persons and entities in which they or any of them own a controlling interest, hereby remise, release, acquit and forever discharge ePlus and each of its successors, assigns, divisions, affiliates, parents, directors, officers,

admiralty, or in equity, against ePlus and its successors, assigns, divisions, affiliates, parents, directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives,

 4. The releases by the Parties herein
include an express, knowing and voluntary waiver and relinquishment to the fullest extent permitted by law of the provisions, rights and benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads: 
  
 Section 1542. Certain Claims Not Affected By General Release. A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor. 
  
 The Parties understand that they may hereafter discover facts other than or different from
those which they know or believe to be true with respect to the released claims or the subject matter thereof, but the Parties immediately upon execution of this Agreement, hereby expressly waive and fully, finally and forever settle and release any
known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, contingent or non-contingent claim with respect to each of the released claims and the subject matter thereof, whether or not concealed or hidden, without regard to the subsequent discovery or existence of
such different or additional facts. 
  
 5. The Parties to this
Mutual Release admit no liability of any kind, make no representations as to any liability, and warrant that this Mutual Release is not an admission of any liability by any party thereto. 
  
 6. The Settlement and License Agreement entered into between the Parties on this day, together with the Mutual Release and
other attachments thereto are all integrated into and part of this agreement, and together they constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior and contemporaneous oral or written
agreements and discussions. Accordingly, this Mutual Release shall not operate to release any obligations under the foregoing Settlement and License Agreement. 
  

7. In executing this Mutual Release, the Parties hereto do not rely and have not relied upon any oral representations or statements made by any Party
hereto or by any affiliate, 

  

 - 3 - 

 
officer, director, employee, attorney, agent, or representative of any Party hereto. The Parties hereto and each of them represent and warrant that:
