ARTICLE I

REPRESENTATION AND WARRANTIES

Except as disclosed in the Prospectus or in the schedules referenced in this Article I and attached hereto, the Principal represents and warrants to the Acquirer that, with respect to each of the Contributed Entities and its Subsidiaries and respective Properties, as of the Closing Date:

(a) Each of the Contributed Entities and Property Entities has been duly organized and is validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization and has all requisite power and authority to carry out the transactions contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation (as defined herein), and to own, lease and/or operate each Property owned, leased and/or operated by it and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each Contributed Entity and Property Entity, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Properties make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Limited Partnership Agreement, Limited Liability Company Agreement and Operating Agreement, Articles of Incorporation, Charter or Bylaws, as applicable, of each Contributed Entity, as may have been amended from time to time, (each a “Governing Agreement” and collectively, the “Governing Agreements”) a complete and accurate copy of which has been delivered to the Operating Partnership and its counsel, is in force and effect as of the date hereof, and has not been further modified or amended.

2

Entity. Each Subsidiary of the Contributed Entities has been duly organized and is validly existing and is in good standing under the Laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and has all requisite power and authority to own, lease and/or operate its Properties and other assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each Subsidiary of the Contributed Entities, to the extent required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Properties and other assets make such qualification necessary, other than such failures to be so qualified as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no rights to purchase, subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights or preemptive rights relating to the Contributed Interests or any equity interest in the Contributed Entities or the Property Entities, or any other security convertible into or exchangeable for such equity interests.

1.2 Due Authorization. Each agreement, document and instrument included in or contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation and executed and delivered by or on behalf of any Contributed Entity or Property Entity constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Contributed Entity or Property Entity, each enforceable against such Contributed Entity or Property Entity in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.

1.3 Consents and Approvals. Except as shall have been obtained or satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver, approval, authorization, order, license, permit or registration of, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any Person or Governmental Authority or under any applicable Laws is required to be obtained by any Property Entity, Contributed Entity or Subsidiary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any of the agreements or documents included in or contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

1.4 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance of any agreement or document included in or contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation nor the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right under, (A) the organizational documents of any Property Entity, Contributed Entity or Subsidiary, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which such Property Entity, Contributed Entity or Subsidiary or any of their respective assets or properties (including the Properties) is bound or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on such Property Entity, Contributed Entity or any Subsidiary.

1.5 Capitalization. All of the issued and outstanding equity interests of each Contributed Entity, Property Entity and Subsidiary are duly authorized, validly issued and fully paid and are not subject to preemptive rights or appraisal, dissenters’ or other similar rights under the organizational documents of or any contract to which any Contributed Entity, Property Entity or its Subsidiaries is a party or otherwise bound.

1.6 Licenses and Permits. All notices, licenses, permits, certificates and authorizations required for the continued use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of

the Properties have been obtained, are in full force and effect, are in good standing and (to the extent required in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation) are assignable to the Operating Partnership. No Property Entity, Contributed Entity, or Subsidiary or, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any Contributor or third party has taken any action that (or failed to take any action the omission of which) would result in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor has any of them received any written notice of violation from any Governmental Authority or written notice of the intention of any entity to revoke any of such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization, that in each case has not been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Governmental Authority except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.7 Litigation. Except for actions, suits or proceedings fully covered by policies of insurance, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Principal’s Knowledge, threatened against any Property Entity, Contributed Entity or any Contributor, Subsidiary or Property, which, if adversely determined, would, individually or together with all such other actions, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to the Principal’s Knowledge, threatened against any Property Entity, Contributed Entity, Subsidiary or any Contributor which challenges or impairs the ability of any Contributed Entity, Subsidiary or any Contributor to execute or deliver, or perform its obligations under any of the Formation Transaction Documentation or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. There is no judgment, decree, injunction, or order of a Governmental Authority outstanding against any Property Entity, Contributed Entity or Subsidiary or, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any officer, director, principal, managing member, or general partner of any of the foregoing in their capacity as such, or, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any Contributors which would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. No Property Entity, Contributed Entity or Subsidiary has received any written notice of any pending or threatened proceedings for the rezoning (i.e., as opposed to the current zoning) of any Property or any portion thereof which would substantially and materially impair the current or proposed use thereof.

1.8 Compliance With Laws. Each Contributed Entity and its Subsidiaries and each Property Entity has conducted its business and maintained its Property in compliance with all applicable Laws, except for such failures that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. None of the Property Entities, Contributed Entities or Subsidiaries nor, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any Contributor or third party has been informed in writing of any continuing violation of any such Laws or that any investigation has been commenced and is continuing or is contemplated respecting any such possible violation, except in each case for violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

1.9 Properties.

(c) To the Principal’s Knowledge, as presently conducted, none of the operation of the buildings, fixtures and other improvements comprising a part of the Properties is in violation of any applicable building code, zoning ordinance or other “land use” Law.

(d) Each Property Entity holds the lessor’s interest under the leases, licenses, tenancies, possession agreements and occupancy agreements with tenants of its Property (the “Leases”). Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (1) no Property Entity, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor, to the Principal’s Knowledge, any other party to any Lease, is in breach or default of any such Lease, (2) to the Principal’s Knowledge, no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would, individually or together with all such other events, constitute a default under any Lease, or would, permit termination, modification or acceleration under such Lease, and (3) to the Principal’s Knowledge, each of the Leases is valid and binding and in full force and effect, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity. To the Principal’s Knowledge, no tenant under any of such Leases is presently the subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings.

Schedule 1.10 lists, as of the date hereof, all secured loans encumbering the Properties or any direct or indirect interest in the applicable Property Entity or Contributed Entity (the “Disclosed Loans”) and the outstanding aggregate principal balance as of the date set forth on Schedule 1.10. To the Principal’s Knowledge, no monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by any party exists under any of the Disclosed Loans and the documents entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “Disclosed Loan Documents”) and no non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by any party exists under any of such Disclosed Loan Documents.

1.13 Eminent Domain. There is no existing, or to the Principal’s Knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding which would affect any of the Properties.

1.14 Taxes. Except as set forth in Schedule 1.14:

ARTICLE II

NATURE OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

2.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive after the effective time of the contributions and other Formation Transactions contemplated in the Formation Transaction Documentation until the first anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”). If written notice of a claim in accordance with Section 3.2 has been given prior to the Expiration Date, then the relevant representation or warranty shall survive, but only with respect to such specific claim, until such claim has been finally resolved. Any claim for indemnification not so asserted in writing by the Expiration Date may not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, claims for indemnification resulting from breaches of the representations in Section 1.14 may be asserted until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations.

ARTICLE III

INDEMNIFICATION

3.1 Indemnification of Acquirer. The Acquirer and its Affiliates and each of its directors, officers, employees, agents and representatives (each of which is an “Indemnified

8

Party” and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Principal, under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, from and against any and all Losses arising out of or relating to, asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with or as a result of any breach of a representation or warranty contained in Article I of this Agreement (subject to the survival limitations set forth in Section 2.1 hereof) (collectively, the “Indemnified Losses”); provided, the Indemnified Parties shall only be entitled to indemnification for breaches of representations and warranties made pursuant to Article I of this Agreement to the extent that the Indemnified Losses with respect to such breaches exceed, in the aggregate, One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Deductible”). The Principals shall only be liable for Indemnified Losses (after giving effect to and only for amounts in excess of the Deductible) up to the Maximum Indemnity Amount.

3.2 Claims.

(a) At the time when the Acquirer learns of any potential claim for Indemnified Losses under this Agreement (a “Claim”), it will promptly give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Principal; provided that the failure to so notify the Principal shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Principal shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Each Claim Notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to the Indemnified Party giving rise to such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Principal, promptly after the Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by such Indemnified Party relating to a Third Party Claim (as defined below); provided that failure to do so shall not prevent recovery under this Agreement, except to the extent that the Principal shall have been materially prejudiced by such failure. Any Indemnified Party may at its option demand indemnity under this Article III as soon as a Claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as the Indemnified Party shall in good faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that the Indemnified Party may be liable for, or otherwise incur, a Loss as a result thereof.

(b) The Principal shall be entitled, at his own expense, to elect to assume and control the defense of any Claim based on claims asserted by third parties (“Third Party Claims”), through counsel chosen by the Principal and reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Parties, if the Principal gives written notice of his intention to do so to the Acquirer within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the applicable Claim Notice; provided, however, that the Indemnified Parties may at all times participate in such defense at their own expense. Without limiting the foregoing, in the event that the Principal exercises the right to undertake any such defense against a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with the Principal in such defense and make available to the Principal, at the Principal’s expense, all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under such Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Principal. No compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim may be effected by either the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, or the Principal, on the other hand, without the other party’s consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) unless (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of Law and no effect on any other claims that may be made against such other party, (ii) each Indemnified Party that is party to such claim is released from all liability with respect to such claim, and (iii) there is no equitable order, judgment or term that in any manner

9

affects, restrains or interferes with the business of the Indemnified Party that is party to such claim or any of its Affiliates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the status of the REIT as a real investment trust within the meaning of Section 856 of the Code, then the REIT shall make such decision to compromise or settle the Third Party Claim without the need to obtain the Principal’s consent.

3.3 Delivery of Indemnity Amounts. Upon resolution of any disputed Claim or portion of a Claim as evidenced by (x) a written agreement between the Acquirer and the Principal or (y) a final award of an arbitral tribunal in accordance with this Agreement, the Principal shall deliver the amount of the indemnification to the Indemnified Party. Indemnity payments may be made by the Principal in the form of cash or OP Units. To the extent indemnification is made through delivery by the Principal of OP Units, such OP Units shall be valued at an amount per OP Unit equal to the IPO Price. The Principal hereby authorizes the REIT, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, to take all such action as may be necessary to amend the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, and any exhibits or schedules thereto, to reflect the delivery of any OP Units by the Principal as an indemnification payment hereunder and to reflect that the Principal has no further right, title or interest with respect to any such OP Units.

3.4 Exclusive Remedy. The sole and exclusive remedy for Indemnified Parties with respect to any and all claims relating to a breach of this Agreement (other than breaches arising out of or in connection with fraud) shall be indemnification in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Principal shall not be liable or obligated to make payments under this Agreement in excess of the Maximum Indemnity Amount (as defined herein).

3.5 Characterization of Payments. Any indemnity payments shall constitute an adjustment of the contribution consideration received by the Principal pursuant to his Contribution Agreement for Tax purposes and shall be treated as such by all parties on their tax returns to the extent permitted by Law.

4.8 Dispute Resolution. The parties intend that this Section 4.8 will be valid, binding, enforceable, exclusive and irrevocable and that it shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(a) Upon any dispute, controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the enforcement, breach, termination or validity thereof (“Dispute”), the party raising the Dispute will give written notice to the other parties to the Dispute describing the nature of the Dispute following which the parties to such Dispute shall attempt for a period of ten (10) Business Days from receipt by the parties of notice of such Dispute to resolve such Dispute by negotiation between representatives of the parties hereto who have authority to settle such Dispute.

The statute of limitations applicable to the commencement of a lawsuit shall apply to the commencement of an arbitration hereunder, except that no defense based on the running of the statute of limitations will be available based upon the passage of time during any such negotiation. Regardless of the foregoing, a party shall have the right to seek immediate injunctive relief pursuant to clause (c) below without regard to any such ten (10) Business Day negotiation period.

(b) Any Dispute (including the determination of the scope or applicability of this Agreement to arbitrate) that is not resolved pursuant to clause (a) above shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration in Virginia Beach, Virginia before one neutral and impartial arbitrator, in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia for agreements made in and to be performed in Virginia. The arbitration shall be administered by JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS”) pursuant to its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as in effect on the date hereof. The parties hereto shall appoint one arbitrator within fifteen (15) days of a demand for arbitration. If an arbitrator is not appointed within such 15-day period, the arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, as in effect on the date hereof. The arbitrator shall designate the place and time of the hearing. The hearing shall be scheduled to begin as soon as practicable and no later than sixty (60) days after the appointment of the arbitrator (unless such period is extended by the arbitrator for good cause shown) and shall be conducted as expeditiously as possible. The award, which shall set forth the arbitrator’s findings of fact and conclusions of law, shall be filed with JAMS and mailed to the parties no later than thirty (30) days after the close of the arbitration hearing. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on the parties and not subject to collateral attack. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any federal or state court having jurisdiction thereof.

(c) Notwithstanding the parties’ agreement to submit all Disputes to final and binding arbitration before JAMS, the parties shall have the right to seek and obtain temporary or preliminary injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such courts shall have authority to, among other things, grant temporary or provisional injunctive relief in order to protect any party’s rights under this Agreement. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies

14

as may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.

(d) The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, and the non-prevailing party shall pay all expenses and fees of JAMS, all costs of the stenographic record, all expenses of witnesses or proofs that may have been produced at the direction of the arbitrator, and the fees, costs and expenses of the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall allocate such costs and designate the prevailing party or parties for these purposes.

4.9 Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
