2.                                      PURCHASE PRICE.

 

2.1                               Purchase Price. The total consideration to be paid by Purchaser to Sellers for the Property is FIVE HUNDRED TEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($510,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).  The Purchase Price shall be allocated as set forth on Exhibit E of the Company Disclosure Letter.  At Closing, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers the Purchase Price, plus or minus the prorations described in this Agreement (such amount, as adjusted, being referred to as the “Cash Balance”).  Purchaser shall pay the Cash Balance by federal funds wire transferred to an account designated by Sellers in writing.

 

2.2                               Earnest Money. Within three (3) Business Days after execution of this Agreement, Purchaser shall deposit the sum of TWELVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($12,000,000.00) (together with all interest earned thereon, the “Earnest Money”) into a strict joint order escrow, and invested in an interest-bearing account, with the title company identified in the Company Disclosure Letter (the “Title Company”).  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable and shall be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing.  The Earnest Money shall be held by the Title Company in strict accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.3                               Independent Consideration.  As independent consideration for this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller agree that if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a Seller default, then Seller shall be entitled to receive ONE HUNDRED AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($100.00) of the Earnest Money as consideration for this Agreement (the “Independent Consideration”).  If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than a Seller default, the Title Company shall immediately, and without further instruction, disburse such sum to Seller from the Earnest Money prior to returning the remaining amount of the Earnest Money to Purchaser, unless Purchaser is not entitled to the return of the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.  Except with respect to a termination due to a Seller default, any reference to the return of the Earnest Money to Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement, shall mean the Earnest Money, less the Independent Consideration, which shall be disbursed to Seller.

 

3.                                      DUE DILIGENCE MATERIALS AND TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS.

 

3.1                               New Exception.  If, after the Effective Date, there is an update of the Title Commitment (defined below) or Survey (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) which first discloses an exception other than those existing in the Title Commitment or Survey, arising after the Effective Date (a “New Exception”), then, except to the extent that such New Exception is a Permitted Exception (as defined in Section 3.2 below) (except it is expressly agreed that Purchaser may object to a New Exception that is a Permitted Exception under numbers 7 (if created by Seller), 8 and 9 listed on Exhibit F-2 to the Company Disclosure Letter, unless such

 

2

 

New Exception is caused by or through Purchaser or does not materially and adversely affect Purchaser or the Property), Purchaser shall have the right to deliver a notice to Sellers (a “Title Notice”) objecting to such New Exception within three (3) Business Days after delivery to Purchaser of the updated Title Commitment or Survey that discloses the New Exception, and, unless such New Exception constitutes a Mandatory Cure Matter (as defined in Section 3.2 below), Sellers shall have the right for a period of three (3) Business Days after delivery of Purchaser’s Title Notice to Sellers (“Seller Response Period”) to provide written notice to Purchaser (“Sellers’ Response”) specifying whether or not Sellers elect, by the Closing Date, to cause Title Insurer (as defined in Section 3.2 below) to remove or endorse over any New Exception raised in Purchaser’s Title Notice, it being understood that, except for the Mandatory Cure Matters (as hereinafter defined), which Sellers shall be obligated to cure (or to cause to be cured) on or before the Closing, Sellers may, but shall not be required to, cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over any New Exception raised in Purchaser’s Title Notice.  If Sellers fail to provide Sellers’ Response within the Seller Response Period, Sellers will be deemed to have elected not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over any such New Exception.  If Sellers elect, or are deemed to have elected, not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over one or more matters or exceptions to which Purchaser has objected in its Title Notice, then on or prior to the date that is three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the Seller Response Period, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers written notice that Purchaser has elected to either (1) waive the matters or exceptions which Sellers have elected, or been deemed to have elected, not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over (in which event such matters or exceptions shall be Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser will close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or (2) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  Further, if Sellers elect to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over any matters or exceptions and fails to do so on or before the Closing Date (provided that Seller may extend the Closing Date for such period as shall be reasonably required to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over such matters and exceptions (but not exceeding thirty (30) days)), Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (i) waive the unsatisfied objections (in which event such matters or exceptions shall be Permitted Exceptions) and close, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  If Purchaser fails to timely deliver a Title Notice with respect to any New Exception, then, except for any Mandatory Cure Matter, such New Exception shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception.

 

3.2                               Certain Definitions.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Title Commitment” shall mean the commitment for a 2006 ALTA owner’s title insurance policy issued by the Title Company (in its capacity as title insurer, “Title Insurer”) and attached to the Company Disclosure Letter as Exhibit F-3; the term “Title Proforma” shall mean the form of proforma 2006 ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance attached as Exhibit S to the Company Disclosure Letter; the term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean those items set forth on Exhibit F-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter and incorporated herein, and any other matters as agreed to by Sellers and Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.1 above; and the term “Mandatory Cure Matter” shall mean any of the following: (i) any mortgage lien assumed or created by, through or under any Seller, (ii) any mechanics’ lien or materialmen’s lien resulting from work performed for any Seller (but expressly excluding work performed by or for any tenant), and (iii) any judgment lien, tax lien (other than taxes not yet due and payable) or other lien securing a

 

3

 

monetary amount, assumed or created by, through or under any Seller.  Each Mandatory Cure Matter may be removed by endorsement or the payment of a liquidated sum of money and Seller may use a portion of the Purchase Price to affect such cure at the Closing.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall any Mandatory Cure Matter constitute a Permitted Exception.  If Purchaser elects, in its sole and absolute discretion, to obtain a new survey or an update to the Survey (a “New Survey”), the same shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense.

 

4.                                      CLOSING.  The payment of the Purchase Price, the transfer of title to the Property, and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur on February 21, 2018 or such other date as mutually agreed to by Sellers and Purchaser (such date, as the same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, is referred to herein as the “Closing Date”), through escrow at the Title Company.

Provided that Purchaser is not in default hereunder and that Purchaser shall have exercised its First Closing Extension, if Purchaser’s lender will not be prepared to close on the Closing Date as extended by the First Closing Extension, then Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Closing Date as extended by the First Closing Extension for up to an additional fifteen (15) days (the “Second Closing Extension”; the fifteen (15) day extensions pursuant to the First Closing Extension and the Second Closing Extension are each referred to as a “Closing Extension Period”) by written notice of Purchaser’s election to extend delivered to Sellers prior to 5:00 p.m. Chicago time on the date that is three (3) Business Days before the Closing Date as extended by the First Closing Extension (the “Second Closing Extension Deadline”), which written notice shall (i) include the new Closing Date to which Closing is being extended and (ii) be effective to extend the Closing only if Sellers receive prior to the Second Closing Extension Deadline evidence that Purchaser has delivered to Title Company the sum of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) to be held and applied as Earnest Money (for clarification, the aggregate Earnest Money deposit following Purchaser’s exercise of its Second Closing Extension right shall be Sixteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($16,000,000.00)).

4.3                               Closing Prorations and Adjustments.  The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing.  Sellers shall prepare a statement of the prorations and adjustments required by this Agreement (the “Joint Closing Statement”) and submit it to Purchaser for approval at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.  The items listed below are to be prorated or adjusted as of the close of business on the Closing Date (it being understood that, for purposes of prorations and adjustments, Sellers shall be deemed the owner of the Property on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be deemed the owner of the Property as of the day of the Closing Date (the “Adjustment Date”); provided, however, that in the event any of the Leases provide that a tenant is to directly pay any of the expenses set forth below in this Section 4.3 to a third party other than a Seller, then such amount shall not be prorated).  The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.3.1                     Taxes.  Real estate taxes for the Property shall be prorated between Sellers and Purchaser on a cash basis, as of the Adjustment Date, for the total actual real estate taxes due and payable during the full year of Closing, regardless of the fact that such taxes are assessed for the prior calendar year (“Total Actual Tax Amount”). If the Total Actual Tax Amount for the year in which Closing occurs is not known as of the Closing Date, then such proration shall be based on 105% of the most recently ascertainable tax bill for the Property (“Total Estimated Tax Amount”).  The parties acknowledge that real estate taxes in Illinois are payable a year in arrears and there shall be no proration for any real estate taxes which are assessed for the year of Closing (and payable the next year).  At or prior to the Closing Date, Sellers shall have paid all real estate taxes for the Property due and payable during the year of Closing and prior years, which if not paid prior to the Closing Date would be delinquent (“Seller Tax Payment”).  Purchaser shall assume the payment obligation for all real estate taxes for the Property which first become delinquent after the Adjustment Date. At Closing, Sellers or Purchaser shall receive a credit, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the Total Actual Tax Amount or the Total Estimated Tax Amount, as applicable, divided by three hundred sixty-five (365) and multiplied by the number of days in the calendar year of Closing prior to the Adjustment Date, less (ii) if made, any Seller Tax Payment. If the parties use the most recently ascertainable tax bill for the purposes of calculating the proration hereunder, the parties shall re-prorate the taxes upon receipt of the final tax bills for the year of Closing, in accordance with Section 4.7 hereof.  After Closing, to the extent that a credit or refund of real estate taxes is due to the owner of the Property from the Cook County Treasurer, if and to the extent such payment has accrued during and attributable to the period prior to Closing Date, Sellers shall be entitled to such payment, and if and to the extent such payment has accrued during and attributable to the period after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to such payment.  The costs associated with any contest of real estate taxes yielding a credit or refund shall be paid by the party receiving the benefit of such credit or refund (and if such is shared by Purchaser and Seller, the costs shall be shared ratably based on the amount of the credit or refund paid to each).

 

4.3.2                     Rent.  To the extent collected by Sellers prior to Closing, the “minimum” or “base” rent paid by tenants under the Assignable Leases for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Sellers on the basis of the number of days of such month the Property will have been owned by Purchaser and Sellers, respectively.  There shall be no proration of any rent which is delinquent as of the Closing Date.  Rent collected on or after the Closing Date shall be applied first to the month of Closing, then to any delinquency existing for the period thereafter and then to any delinquency for the period prior to Closing.  Purchaser shall cause any rent

 

6

 

applicable to the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Sellers if, as, and when collected.  At Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all delinquent rent.  In the event any delinquent rent is omitted from such schedule, Sellers shall not be deemed to have waived their rights to such rent.  Purchaser shall include the amount of delinquent rent in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for three (3) months thereafter.  Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers a copy of each such bill submitted to tenants.  After such three (3) month period following Closing, provided Sellers have obtained Purchaser’s prior consent, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Sellers may pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants, but may not sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants.  Any percentage rent collected in connection with any Assignable Leases shall not be prorated at Closing but shall be prorated after the applicable lease year is over and total revenues and breakpoint have been reconciled under the applicable Assignable Lease, with such revenues and breakpoint allocated evenly over the year in which Closing occurs on a daily basis and any amount payable from one party to the other shall be paid promptly after such reconciliation is required under the applicable Assignable Lease.

 

4.3.3                     Security Deposits.  Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of any cash security deposits set forth on Exhibit B-2 to the Company Disclosure Letter under the Assignable Leases.  In addition, Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign (to the extent assignable) and deliver to Purchaser at Closing any and all letters of credit and other instruments held by Sellers as security deposits under Assignable Leases; provided, if such instrument is not assignable, then Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Purchaser at Closing a substitute instrument in favor of Purchaser and, unless and until such instrument is so assigned or a substitute instrument is so provided, Sellers shall hold such instrument in trust for Purchaser and shall draw upon such instrument and deliver the proceeds thereof to Purchaser as and when requested by Purchaser in writing, subject to the terms of the applicable Lease.

 

4.3.4                     Utilities.  Water, electric, telephone and all other utility and fuel charges, fuel on hand (at cost plus sales tax), and any other payments to utility companies shall be prorated.  If possible, utility prorations will be handled by final meter readings on the Closing Date.  If final readings are not possible, or if any such charges are not separately metered, such charges will be prorated on a daily basis based on the most recent period for which actual costs incurred are available.  Utility deposits shall be returned to Sellers.

 

4.3.5                     Service Contracts.  Amounts due and prepayments under Assignable Service Contracts (other than non-recurring, upfront payments by any vendor to any Seller) shall be prorated.

4.4.1                     For the Calendar Year of the Closing.  To the extent collected by Sellers prior to Closing, Tenant Reimbursements paid by tenants under the Assignable Leases for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Sellers based on the number of days of such month the Property will have been owned by Purchaser and Sellers, respectively.  There shall be no proration of such Tenant Reimbursements which are delinquent as of Closing.  Tenant Reimbursements collected on or after the Closing Date shall be applied to such period as the tenant may direct, or if there is no such direction, first to the month of Closing, then to any delinquency existing for the period thereafter and then to any delinquency for the period prior to Closing.  Purchaser shall cause any Tenant Reimbursements applicable to the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Sellers if, as, and when collected.  At Closing, Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all delinquent Tenant Reimbursements.  In the event any delinquent Tenant Reimbursements are omitted from such schedule, Sellers shall not be deemed to have waived their rights to such amounts.  Purchaser shall include the amount of delinquent Tenant Reimbursements in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for three (3) months thereafter.  Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers a copy of each such bill submitted to tenants.  After such three (3) month period, Sellers may pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants, but may not sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants.

 

Not later than ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurs, Purchaser shall determine the Tenant Reimbursements paid to Sellers by tenants and Seller Expenses for the portion of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs that Sellers owned the Property.   Sellers shall provide to Purchaser the information necessary to make such determination.  If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Sellers for such year is less than the amount of Seller Expenses for such year, then Purchaser shall promptly remit the difference to Sellers.  If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Sellers for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs exceeds the amount of Seller Expenses paid by Sellers for such year, then Sellers shall remit such excess amounts to Purchaser.  Upon receipt of such excess amounts, Purchaser shall be thereafter obligated to promptly remit the applicable portion to the particular tenants entitled thereto.  Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers and Sellers’ Affiliates harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith, arising out of or resulting from Purchaser’s failure to remit any

 

10

 

amounts actually received from Sellers to tenants in accordance with the provisions hereof.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive Closing.

 

4.4.2                     For Prior Calendar Years.  Sellers shall be responsible for the reconciliation with tenants of Tenant Reimbursements and Seller Expenses for any calendar year prior to that in which the Closing occurs.  To the extent any reconciliation are not completed as of Closing, if the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Sellers for such prior years is less than the amount of Seller Expenses for such period, then Sellers shall be entitled to bill such tenants and retain any such amounts due from tenants.  If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Sellers for such prior calendar year exceeds the amount of Seller Expenses with respect to such period, then, to the extent required under the terms of the Leases, Sellers shall remit such excess amounts to the applicable tenants.  In connection with the foregoing, Sellers shall be permitted to make and retain copies of all Leases and all billings concerning Tenant Reimbursements for such prior years, and Purchaser covenants and agrees to provide Sellers with reasonable access to the books and records pertaining to such Tenant Reimbursements, and to otherwise cooperate with Sellers (at no cost to Purchaser) for the purpose of enabling Sellers to adequately respond to any claim by tenants for reimbursement of Tenant Reimbursements previously paid by such tenants.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.2 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.4.3                     Other Costs.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a tenant makes a payment to either Purchaser or a Seller with respect to any other amount owed to a Seller (for example reimbursement for a tenant improvement overrun) such amount shall be for the account of Sellers and if collected by Purchaser, shall be promptly paid to Sellers.  In addition, if Sellers bill certain amounts to a tenant in arrears (for example, reimbursement by a tenant for certain utility costs incurred by Sellers or charges for specific services provided by Sellers), at Sellers’ written request, Purchaser shall include the amount of any such arrearages in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for three (3) months thereafter.  Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Sellers a copy of each such bill submitted to tenants.  If a tenant makes a payment to either Purchaser or Sellers with respect to any such arrearage owed to Sellers, such amount shall be for the account of Sellers and, if collected by Purchaser, shall be promptly paid to Sellers.  After such three (3) month period, Sellers may pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants for such arrearages, but may not sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.3 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.4.4                     Rent Paid in Arrears.  For any tenant or other user of the Property that makes rent payments in arrears pursuant to such tenant’s or user’s lease or other agreement with a Seller (including, without limitation, any parking garage operator, if applicable).  Purchaser agrees that upon Purchaser’s receipt of any rent payment from any such tenant or other user that is for any period of time prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Sellers the portion of such payment that applies to the period of time prior to the Closing Date.  The provisions of this Section 4.4.4 shall survive the Closing.

 

4.5                               Reservation of Rights to Contest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers reserve the right to meet with governmental officials and to contest any reassessment or assessment of the Property or any portion thereof and to attempt to obtain a refund for any taxes previously paid or to obtain a reduction of any assessment

 

11

 

applicable to the period prior to Closing.  In connection with any refund received by Purchaser or Sellers applicable to a fiscal tax year in which Closing occurs, Sellers shall retain all rights with respect to any refund of taxes applicable to any period prior to the Closing Date.

 

4.6                               Transaction Costs.

The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the Closing.

 

5.                                      DAMAGE/DESTRUCTION OR CONDEMNATION PRIOR TO CLOSING.  If, prior to Closing, the Property, or any part thereof shall be condemned, destroyed, or damaged by fire or other casualty, Sellers shall promptly so notify Purchaser.  In the event of a Material Loss (as hereinafter defined), either Sellers or Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the other party within thirty (30) days of the date Sellers provide notice to Purchaser of the Material Loss (but no later than the Closing).  If either (x) the condemnation, destruction or damage does not result in a Material Loss or (y) the condemnation, destruction or damage does result in a Material Loss and neither Sellers nor Purchaser provides notice to the other party within such thirty (30) day period of its election to terminate this Agreement, then Sellers and Purchaser shall consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such condemnation, destruction or damage.  If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, then (i) in the case of a condemnation, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive any condemnation proceeds (ii) in the case of a casualty, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive (A) any proceeds of insurance under any policy(ies) of insurance applicable to the destruction or damage of the Property, (B) the amount of any deductible, and (C) any remaining cost to repair not covered by Sellers’ insurance (if any); all net of repair costs incurred by Sellers, and (iii) Sellers shall, at Closing, execute and deliver to Purchaser all customary proofs of loss and other similar items.  In addition, in the event Closing occurs, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers at Closing a release in form reasonably satisfactory to Sellers and Purchaser whereby Purchaser releases Sellers from all ongoing liability and/or claims in connection with such condemnation or casualty conditioned upon Purchaser’s receipt of the items set forth in (i) and/or (ii) above, as applicable.  If either party elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and

 

12

 

become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  For purposes of this Section 5, (a) a “Material Loss” means condemnation, damage or destruction that is reasonably estimated by Seller’s insurer or appraiser to cost or be valued (as the case may be) at more than the Loss Threshold (as applicable to the terminating party) as to the Property or any portion thereof; (b) “Loss Threshold” means Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) as to the Purchaser and Eight Million and No/100 Dollars ($8,000,000.00) as to the Seller.

 

6.                                      BROKERAGE.  Sellers agree to pay (pursuant to a separate agreement) upon Closing (but not otherwise) and, upon receipt by Sellers of an invoice, a W-9, a lien waiver and any other items required by the Title Insurer, a brokerage commission due to the Brokerage Company identified in the Company Disclosure Letter.  Sellers and Purchaser shall each indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all other brokers and finders claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Property, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such claim.

 

7.                                      DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

 

7.1                               Pre-Closing Purchaser’s Remedies.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Closing does not occur due to a Seller default, then, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder and at Purchaser’s option, either (a) the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be entitled to reimbursement of all of Purchaser’s actual third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement up to, but not in excess of, Four Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($400,000.00), upon payment of which by Sellers to Purchaser, this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (b) upon written notice to Sellers not more than thirty (30) days after Purchaser becomes aware of such default, and provided an action is filed within forty-five (45) days thereafter, Purchaser may seek specific performance of this Agreement, provided that if the remedy of specific performance is unavailable to Purchaser following a default by Seller hereunder, then Purchaser may pursue any and all remedies available at law or in equity.  Purchaser’s failure to seek remedies under clause (b) as aforesaid shall constitute its election to proceed under clause (a) above.

 

7.2                               Pre-Closing Seller’s Remedies.  PURCHASER AND SELLERS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICAL AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLERS IF PURCHASER FAILS TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE AND SALE CONTEMPLATED HEREIN FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLERS’ DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR THE FAILURE OF A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE HEREUNDER.  PURCHASER AND SELLERS HAVE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY THE LOSS TO SELLERS OCCASIONED BY TAKING THE PROPERTY OFF THE MARKET AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEGOTIATION AND EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXPENSES OF SELLERS INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLERS’ PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER, AND THE OTHER DAMAGES, GENERAL AND SPECIAL, WHICH PURCHASER AND SELLERS REALIZE AND RECOGNIZE SELLERS WILL SUSTAIN BUT WHICH SELLERS CANNOT AT THIS TIME CALCULATE WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.  BASED ON ALL THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PURCHASER AND

 

13

 

SELLERS HAVE AGREED THAT THE DAMAGE TO SELLERS IN SUCH EVENT WOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE EARNEST MONEY.  ACCORDINGLY, IF CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN SELLERS’ DEFAULT HEREUNDER OR THE FAILURE OF A CONDITION PRECEDENT TO PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION TO CLOSE HEREUNDER, THEN SELLERS SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, TO RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.2 SHALL LIMIT ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

 

7.3                               Post-Closing Remedies.  After Closing, Sellers and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including without limitation Section 10 below), have such rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, except that neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the other consequential or special damages.

 

8.                                      CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

 

8.1                               Estoppel Certificates.  As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder, Purchaser shall have received certain tenant estoppel certificates outlined in the Company Disclosure Letter on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing.

 

8.2                               Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements.  Purchaser and Sellers have agreed as to the matter of subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements as outlined in the Company Disclosure Letter.

 

8.3                               Property Estoppels.  As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close hereunder, Purchaser shall have received the Property Estoppels outlined in the Company Disclosure Letter on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing.

 

8.4                               Owner Title Policy.  As a condition to the obligations of Purchaser to close hereunder, the Title Issuer is prepared to issue, subject only to receipt of payment therefor at Closing, a 2006 ALTA owner’s policy of title insurance, with extended coverage, issued by the Title Insurer in the name of Purchaser and in a face amount equal to the Purchase Price, insuring fee simple title to the Property subject only to those matters set forth in the Title Proforma together with any New Exception that becomes a Permitted Exception as provided in Section 3.1 above (the “Owner Title Policy”).

 

8.5                               Accuracy of Purchaser’ Representations and Warranties.  As a condition to the obligations of Sellers to close hereunder, each of Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.2 below shall be materially true and correct as of the Closing, and the failure of such condition shall be deemed a breach by Purchaser hereunder entitling Sellers to exercise the remedies set forth in Section 7.

 

8.6                               Accuracy of Sellers’ Representations and Warranties.  As a condition to the obligations of Purchaser to close hereunder, each of Sellers’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.1 below and in Section 8 of the Company Disclosure Letter shall be materially true and correct as of the Closing Date.  If the foregoing condition is not satisfied and (a) such failure would result in a material adverse effect on the Property or Purchaser, and (b) Sellers have not cured such failure to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction as of the Closing Date (provided that

 

14

 

Sellers shall have the right but not the obligation, in their sole and absolute discretion, by written notice delivered to Purchaser on or before the then scheduled Closing Date (as may have been extended hereunder), to extend the Closing Date for a period not to exceed thirty (30) days to cure such failure), then Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Sellers on the Closing Date, and upon timely delivery of such written notice to Sellers, this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.  If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to its rights under this Section 8.6, then such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to take into account any such fact of which Purchaser was aware prior to or at Closing.  In the event Purchaser closes with knowledge that a representation or warranty is untrue, Purchaser is prohibited from making any claims against Sellers as a result thereof.

 

9.                                      REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS OF SELLER AND PURCHASER.

From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Sellers agree as follows:  (a) Sellers will operate the Property in the normal course of Sellers’ business and maintain the Property in substantially the same condition as of the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and subject to Section 5 above (notwithstanding anything in this clause (a) to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers be required to make any capital repairs, replacements or improvements to the Property except (i) as may be required by the Leases to be made prior to the Closing Date, (ii) to the extent such capital repairs, replacements or improvements are on-going, and (iii) as may be required to prevent or address any emergency or life safety matters), (b) Sellers shall not (i) market, solicit, negotiate, or enter into any agreement with any party other than Purchaser for the sale or transfer of any interest in the Property, (ii) directly or indirectly sell or assign the Property or any portion thereof (other than the sale of de minimis portions of the Personal Property in the ordinary course of business), (iii) take any action, create, or commit any acts which would (A) give rise to any variance from the current legal description of the Real Property, or (B) cause the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance created or caused by Seller against the Property (which is not removed as of the Closing), or (iv) enter into any agreement to any of the foregoing.

 

9.6.2                     Leases and Contracts. After the Effective Date, Sellers shall not (a) enter into any new Lease or amend, restate, modify or renew any existing Lease (other than an amendment, restatement, modification or renewal of any existing Lease pursuant to a unilateral right granted the tenant under such existing Lease) without Purchaser’s prior written consent, and (b) enter into any new Must-Take Agreements, Service Contracts or Construction Contracts which would be binding on Purchaser, or cancel, materially modify or renew any existing Must-Take Agreements, Service Contracts or Construction Contracts which would be binding on Purchaser, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Seller shall not enter into any amendment or modification of the Declaration or the Larrabee Garage Declaration without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (it being acknowledged and agreed that Purchaser has already consented to the Second Amendment to Declaration as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter).  If Purchaser fails to respond to Sellers’ request for consent with respect to the foregoing actions within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Sellers’ request, such consent shall be deemed given.

 

9.6.3                     Lien Waivers.

Best rating of “A- VII”, but in amounts and with carriers consistent with the coverage currently in place as of the Effective Date.

 

9.6.6                     Roof Warranties.  Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Existing Roof Warranties (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) to be assigned to or reissued in the name of Purchaser at Closing, provided that if such assignment cannot be accomplished on or before Closing, Seller shall continue to cooperate with Purchaser to attempt to effectuate such assignment after the Closing.  The provisions of this Section 9.6.6 shall survive the Closing

 

9.6.7                     Union Labor Matters.  Sellers and Purchaser have made certain agreements with respect to union labor matters as outlined in the Company Disclosure Letter.

 

9.6.8                     Net Worth.  Sellers agree to maintain a combined net worth of no less than $10,000,000 between the Effective Date and the date that is one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing; provided that if Purchaser notifies Sellers in writing within one hundred eighty (180) days after Closing that it has a claim (as required under Section 9.3 above), Sellers shall maintain such combined net worth as is required above for an additional thirty (30) days beyond the initial one hundred eighty (180) days; provided further that, if Purchaser brings suit with respect to its claim within thirty (30) days after the expiration of such one hundred eighty (180) day period, then Sellers shall maintain such net worth as is required above until the earliest to occur of (i) settlement of the claim by Sellers and Purchaser, (ii) unappealable dismissal of the claim by a court of competent jurisdiction, and (iii) payment of the claim in full.

 

9.7                               Closing Conditions.  It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to the Closing that: (a) each of the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement and in the Company Disclosure Letter made by Sellers shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date; (b) Sellers have delivered to the Title Company all of the items set forth in Section 4.1; (c) Sellers have delivered to Purchaser (i) all of the Estoppel Certificates (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) for the Required Tenants (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) pursuant to the terms of Section 8.1 and the Company Disclosure Letter, and (ii) all of the Property Certificates (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) and Seller Declaration Estoppel Certificates (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter), if any, required under Section 8.3 above and the Company Disclosure Letter; (d) the Title Issuer is prepared to issue the Owner’s Title Policy to Purchaser, subject only receipt of payment at Closing, and (d) Sellers shall have satisfied all other conditions and obligations under this

10.                               LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing shall have occurred (and Purchaser shall not have waived, relinquished or released any applicable rights in further limitation), then (a) the aggregate liability of Sellers arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of Sellers under this Agreement (or any document executed or delivered in connection herewith) shall not exceed TEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) in the aggregate (the “Liability Limitation”) and (b) no claim by Purchaser alleging a breach by a Seller of any representation, warranty, indemnification, covenant or other obligation of Sellers contained herein (or in any document executed or delivered in connection herewith) may be made, and Sellers shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Purchaser against Sellers alleging a breach by Sellers of any representation, warranty, indemnification, covenant or other obligation of Sellers contained herein (or in any document executed or delivered in connection herewith), is for an aggregate amount in excess of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event Sellers’ liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Sellers shall have no liability with respect thereto.  No constituent partner or member in or agent of a Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, member, partner, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any entity that is or becomes a constituent partner or member in a Seller or an agent of a Seller (including, but not limited to, the Trust and EQC Management) (collectively, “Sellers’ Affiliates”) shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Purchaser and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Sellers for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability.  Each Seller shall be jointly and severally liable under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any constituent partner or member in a Seller, nor any obligation of any constituent partner or member in any entity owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in a Seller to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to a Seller (or any entity owning an interest, directly or indirectly, in any other constituent partner or member of a Seller), shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of such Seller or any such other partner or member (and neither Purchaser nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account of such party’s obligations to restore or contribute).  The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

 

11.                               ESCROW.

 

11.1                        Opening of Escrow.  Concurrent with the execution of this Agreement, Sellers and Purchaser shall cause a strict joint order escrow (“Escrow”) to be opened with the Title Company by (i) Sellers’ delivery to the Title Company of two (2) duplicate partially executed originals of this Agreement, executed by Sellers and Purchaser, and (ii) Purchaser’s delivery to the Title Company of two (2) duplicate partially executed originals of this Agreement, executed

 

23

 

by Purchaser.  Upon receipt of such partially executed originals of this Agreement, the Title Company shall execute and date two (2) duplicate original counterparts of this Agreement in the space provided for the Title Company, and shall assemble two (2) fully executed duplicate originals of this Agreement and confirm to Sellers and Purchaser the date upon which Escrow is opened (the “Opening of Escrow”) by the delivery (by e-mail) of a fully executed PDF copy of this Agreement to Seller and Purchaser, and promptly thereafter deliver a fully executed original of this Agreement to each of Seller and Purchaser.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, this Agreement shall not be effective unless and until the Opening of Escrow shall have occurred.

 

11.2                        Investment of Earnest Money.  The Title Company shall hold the Earnest Money in an interest-bearing savings account which rate of interest need not be maximized.  The Title Company shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any other funds.

 

11.3                        Conflicting Demands.  If prior to the Closing, either party makes a demand upon the Title Company for delivery of the Earnest Money, the Title Company shall give notice to the other party of such demand.  If a notice of objection to the proposed payment is not received from the other party within three (3) Business Days after the giving of notice by the Title Company, the Title Company is hereby authorized to deliver the Earnest Money to the party who made the demand.  If the Title Company receives a notice of objection within said period, then the Title Company shall continue to hold the Earnest Money and thereafter pay it to the party entitled when the Title Company receives (a) notice from the objecting party withdrawing the objection, or (b) a notice signed by both parties directing disposition of the Earnest Money, or (c) a judgment or order of a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

11.4                        Disputes.  In the event that a dispute shall arise in connection with this Agreement, or as to the rights of Sellers and Purchaser in and to, or the disposition of, the Earnest Money, the Title Company shall have the right to (a) hold and retain all or any part of the Earnest Money until such dispute is settled or finally determined by litigation, arbitration or otherwise, or (b) deposit the Earnest Money in an appropriate court of law, following which the Title Company shall thereby and thereafter be relieved and released from any liability or obligation under this Agreement, or (c) institute an action in interpleader or other similar action permitted by stakeholders in the State of Illinois, or (d) interplead Seller or Purchaser in any action or proceeding which may be brought to determine the rights of Seller and Purchaser to all or any part of the Earnest Money.

 

11.5                        Escrow Instructions.  This Agreement shall constitute escrow instructions to the Title Company as well as the agreement of the parties.  The Title Company is hereby instructed to deliver, hold, apply and disburse, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the documents and funds (including the Earnest Money) to be deposited into Escrow as herein provided.  The parties hereto shall execute such additional escrow instructions, not inconsistent with this Agreement, as determined by counsel for Purchaser and Sellers, as the Title Company shall deem reasonably necessary for its protection, if any (as may be modified by and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, Sellers and the Title Company).  In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and such additional escrow instructions, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

 

12.                               MISCELLANEOUS.

 

12.1                        Entire Agreement.  All understandings and agreements heretofore had between Sellers and Purchaser with respect to the Property are merged in this Agreement, which shall be

In the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included unless it is not a Business Day, in which event the period shall be deemed to run until the next Business Day.  For purposes hereof, “Business Day” shall mean any day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday.

 

12.4                        Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the state of Illinois.

Such notices shall be given to the parties hereto at the addresses reflected in the Company Disclosure Letter or, if given by facsimile transmission over the telephone, at the fax numbers reflected in the Company Disclosure Letter.

 

Any notices given by a Seller shall be deemed and have the effect of a notice given by all Sellers.

PURCHASER HAS NOT AND SHALL NOT RELY ON SUCH DISCLOSURES, BUT RATHER, PURCHASER SHALL RELY ONLY ON ITS OWN INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY.  PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PURCHASE PRICE REFLECTS AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD “AS IS”.

12.8                        Reports.  If for any reason Purchaser does not consummate the Closing, then Purchaser shall, upon Sellers’ written request, assign and transfer to Sellers all of its right, title and interest in and to any and all studies, reports, surveys and other information, data and/or documents relating to the Property or any part thereof prepared by or at the request of Purchaser, its employees and agents, and shall deliver to Sellers copies of all of the foregoing, provided that Sellers reimburse Purchaser for all costs, expenses and fees incurred by Purchaser to obtain the foregoing.

 

12.9                        Reporting Person.  Sellers and Purchaser hereby designate Escrow Agent to act as and perform the duties and obligations of the “reporting person” with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement for purposes of 26 C.F.R.

12.10                 Section 1031 Exchange.  Either party may structure the disposition or acquisition of the Property, as the case may be, as a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031 at the exchanging party’s sole cost and expense.  The other party shall reasonably cooperate therein, provided that such other party shall incur no material costs, expenses or liabilities in connection with the exchanging party’s exchange.  If either party uses a qualified intermediary to effectuate an exchange, any assignment of the rights or obligations of such party hereunder shall not relieve, release or absolve such party of its obligations to the other party.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sellers shall be permitted to make disclosures in accordance with, or required by, the disclosure requirements applicable to Equity Commonwealth (“REIT”), which is a direct or indirect parent of each Seller, or its affiliates, due to the REIT’s status as a publicly-held company listed on the New York Stock Exchange or any other securities exchange (an “Exchange”) (including, but not limited to, disclosure in accordance with, or required by, the rules of, or any listing agreement with, an Exchange).

This Agreement may be executed in any number of identical counterparts, any or all of which may contain the signatures of less than all of the parties, and all of which shall be construed together as but a single instrument.  Each counterpart may be delivered by electronic mail or facsimile transmission.

 

12.13                 Construction.  This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against Sellers merely by virtue of the fact that the same has been prepared by Sellers or its counsel, it being recognized both of the parties hereto have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this Agreement.

 

12.14                 Attorneys’ Fees.

12.15                 No Memorandum of Agreement.  This Agreement or any notice or memorandum hereof shall not be recorded in any public record.  A violation of this prohibition shall constitute a default by Purchaser.

If any portion of this Agreement becomes or is held to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, the remaining portions of this Agreement will not be affected thereby and will remain in force and effect to the fullest extent permissible by law.

 

12.17                 Assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, Purchaser shall be permitted to assign this Agreement to (i) any affiliate of Purchaser, (ii) any prospective joint venture partner of Purchaser or (iii) any affiliate of any such prospective joint venture partner.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS

 

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.                 , a                       (“Transferor”), is the owner for U.S. tax purposes of the property commonly known as                   .  To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Transferor, the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Transferor:

 

1.             Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

 

2.             Transferor’s U. S. employer identification number is            ;

 

3.             Transferor’s office address is Two North Riverside Plaza, Suite 2100, Chicago, Illinois 60606; and

 

4.             Transferor is not a “disregarded entity” as defined in IRS Regulation 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

 

Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.

 

Under penalties of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Transferor.

Q-1CORPORATE CAPITAL TRUST II 8-K

 

Exhibit 10.1

 

FOURTH
AMENDED AND RESTATED EXPENSE SUPPORT AND CONDITIONAL REIMBURSEMENT AGREEMENT

This
Fourth Amended and Restated Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement (this “Agreement”) is made
as of  December 31, 2017 by and among Corporate Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Company”), CNL
Fund Advisors II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability Company (the “Advisor”) and KKR Credit Advisors (US) LLC, a
Delaware limited liability company (the “Sub-Advisor”). The Advisor and Sub-Advisor are collectively referred to
as the “Advisors.”

WHEREAS,
the Company maintains on file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a registration statement on Form N-2 (File Nos.
333-199018 and 814-01108) covering the continuous offering and sale of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Securities
Act of 1933 (the “Registration Statement”);

WHEREAS,
the Company and the Advisor have entered into an Investment Advisory Agreement dated as of September 24, 2015 (the “Advisory
Agreement”), and the Advisor, the Sub-Advisor and the Company have entered into an Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement dated
as of September 24, 2015 (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”, and together with the Advisory Agreement, the “Advisory
Agreements”); and

WHEREAS,
the Company, the Advisor, and the Sub-Advisor have entered into an Expense Support and Conditional Reimbursement Agreement, dated
as of September 24, 2015 (as amended from time to time, the “Original Expense Support Agreement”), and

WHEREAS,
the Company and the Advisors have determined that it is appropriate and in the best interest of the Company amend and restate
the Original Expense Support Agreement to adjust the Expense Support Payment Period (as defined below) to reduce the Company’s
operating expenses until the Company has achieved economies of scale sufficient to ensure that it bears a reasonable level of
expense in relation to its investment income.

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration
(the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
EXPENSE SUPPORT PAYMENTS

 

During
the period beginning on the date on which the Company has satisfied the “minimum offering requirement” (as such term
is defined in the Company’s Registration Statement) and ending on December 31, 2018 (the “Expense Support Payment
Period”), the Advisor and the Sub-Advisor each hereby agrees to pay the expenses of the Company on a monthly basis as follows:
the lesser of, (i) the amount equal to 50% of all Operating Expenses (as defined below) for each month during the Expense Support
Payment Period in which the Company’s board of trustees (the “Trustees”) declares a Distribution (as defined
below) or (ii) the amount equal to 50% of the positive difference between the Company’s Distributions accrued to the Company’s
shareholders in each month less monthly Available Operating Funds (as defined below) recognized by the Company on account of its
investment portfolio provided, that each Advisor hereby agrees and confirms that, it shall be jointly and severally
liable to the Company for the share of Operating Expenses payable by the other Advisor to the extent the other Advisor fails to
make such payment. In the event that Available Operating Funds are negative for a particular month the Advisor and Sub-Advisor
will pay expenses as outlined in (i) above. Any payment made by an Advisor pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be referred
to herein as an “Expense Support Payment.” The Advisors’ obligation to make Expense Support Payments for any
month during the Expense Support Payment Period during such month shall automatically become a joint and several liability of
the Advisors and the right to such Expense Support Payment shall be an asset of the Company immediately upon the Trustee’s
declaration of a Distribution. The Expense Support Payment for any month shall be paid by the Advisors to the Company in any combination
of cash or other immediately available funds, and/or offsets against amounts due from the Company to the Advisors, no later than
five business days after the end of such month.

For
purposes of this Agreement (a) “Distribution” means any distribution payable to shareholders of the Company at the
time such distribution is declared by the Trustees; and (b) “Operating Expenses” means all operating costs and expenses
incurred by the Company, including the Management Fees pursuant to the Advisory Agreements, taxes, all interest cost, financing
fees and other financing costs related to indebtedness for such period, but shall exclude any Incentive Fees pursuant to the Advisory
Agreements and any ongoing shareholder servicing and distribution fees, any organizational and offering expenses and Expense Support
Payments and reimbursements as determined under generally accepted accounting principles; and (c) “Available Operating Funds”
means the sum of (i) the Company’s estimated
investment company taxable income (including net short-term capital gains reduced by net long-term capital losses), and (ii) the
Company’s net capital gains (including the excess of net long-term capital gains over net short-term capital losses) excluding
any Expense Support Payments and reimbursements. The Advisor and Sub-Advisor reserve the right to adjust Expense Support Payments
if estimable taxable income changes, subject to Board of Trustees approval.

    	 	 	 

    	 

    

2.
CONDITIONAL REIMBURSEMENT

 

The
Company hereby agrees to reimburse the Advisors in an amount, in the aggregate, equal to the aggregate Expense Support Payments,
the repayment of each Expense Support Payment to be made within a period not to exceed three years from the date in which such
Expense Support Payment was made by an Advisor.

The
Company agrees to reimburse the Advisors pro rata based on the total aggregate Expense Support Payments made
by each Advisor. In the aggregate, all Expense Support Payment made by the Advisors to the Company that have not been previously
reimbursed by the Company to the Advisors shall remain eligible for reimbursement subject to the conditions herein.

Reimbursement
shall be made as promptly as possible after the Expense Support Payment Period ends, but only to the extent such reimbursement
does not cause the Company’s Other Operating Expenses (as defined herein) to exceed the lesser of: (A) 1.75% of average
net assets attributable to common shares on an annualized basis after taking such payment into account or (B) the percentage of
our average net assets attributable to shares of our common stock represented by Other Operating Expenses during the period in
which such Expense Support Payment from the Advisors was made (provided, however, that this clause (B) shall not apply to any
reimbursement payment which relates to Expense Support Payment from the Advisors made during the same period). Additionally, reimbursement
payments shall only be made to the extent they do not exceed estimated taxable income before reimbursements. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, no reimbursement payment shall be made if the Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share on
any class of stock declared by the Company at the time of such reimbursement payment is less than the Effective Rate of Distributions
Per Share on any class of stock at the time the Expense Support Payment was made to which such reimbursement payment relates.
For purposes of the Agreement, “Effective Rate of Distributions Per Share” means actual declared distribution rate
per share exclusive of return of capital, if any. “Other Operating Expenses” shall mean all Operating Expenses, excluding
base management fees, interest costs, financing fees and financing costs, and brokerage commissions and extraordinary expenses.
The calculation of average net assets shall be consistent with such periodic calculations of average net assets in the Company’s
financial statements

3.
TERM AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

 

3.1
TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall become effective immediately upon the date on which the Company has satisfied the “minimum
offering requirement” (as such term is defined in the Company’s Registration Statement). Once effective, this Agreement
shall remain in effect until December 31, 2018, unless otherwise terminated pursuant to Section 3.2. Sections 3 and 4 of this
Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Section 2 of this Agreement
shall survive any termination of this Agreement with respect to any Expense Support Payments that have not been reimbursed by
the Company to the Advisors. If an Expense Support Payment has not been reimbursed prior three years from the date of such Expense
Support Payment was made, the Company’s obligation to pay such Expense Support Payment shall automatically terminate, and
be of no further effect.

 

3.2
TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement may be terminated by the Advisors acting jointly hereto upon written notice to the Company,
except that once effective, the Advisors may not terminate their obligations under Section 1. This Agreement shall automatically
terminate in the event of (a) the termination by the Company of either the Advisory Agreement or Sub-Advisory Agreement or (b)
the dissolution or liquidation of the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, if this Agreement terminates automatically
pursuant to clause (a) of this Section 3.2, the Company agrees to make a repayment to the Advisors in an amount equal to all Expense
Support Payments not previously reimbursed. Such repayment shall be made to the Advisors, pro rata based on the
aggregate unreimbursed Expense Support Payments made by each Advisor, not later than 30 days after such termination of this Agreement.
