(1)
a good faith estimate of the aggregate amount of all principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due and owing in respect of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Target Companies (other than the prepayment premiums if any, as of the Closing Date, which are included in Seller's Closing Costs), which shall include the Existing Debt (such aggregate indebtedness herein referred to as the "Closing Date Indebtedness" and such good faith estimate herein referred to as the "Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness");

(5)
a good faith estimate of the Closing Date Consideration and the respective calculations thereof in accordance with Section 3.(a).
(ii)
For purposes hereof, "Net Working Capital" means: (1) the amount of estimated current assets of the Target Companies; minus (2) the amount of estimated current liabilities of the Target Companies, in each case as of the applicable measurement date, as determined in accordance with GAAP and in accordance with the principles and the example set forth on Exhibit B (which the parties acknowledge and agree is intended to preclude any "double counting" between the items included in this calculation of Net Working Capital and the items included in the calculation of the Closing Date Section 10.(j) Adjustment).
(iii)
Debt Payoff Letters. No later than two (2) but no more than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver to Purchaser payoff letters from the holders of the Existing Debt described in Section 8.(a), in a form and substance of the type ordinarily provided in commercial transactions similar to the transaction described in this Agreement and reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser (the "Debt Payoff Letters"): (1) stating the prepayment amount of the Existing Debt (with such Debt Payoff Letters to be updated, as necessary, on the Closing Date to specify the aggregate amount of Existing Debt outstanding as of the time immediately prior to the Closing); and (2) except as provided on Schedule 3.(b)(iii), stating that, if such prepayment amount so identified is paid to such holder on the Closing Date, such holder will release any and all Encumbrances that it may have with respect to the Acquired Interests, the Target Companies or their respective assets, and will take all reasonable actions necessary to effectuate such release (including executing and delivering to Purchaser all necessary documentation in form suitable for filing with all appropriate governmental authorities).
3.(c)
Payment of Deposit. Payment of the Deposit and the Closing Date Consideration is to be made via wire transfer in immediately available funds as follows:
(i)
Deposit. Within two (2) Business Days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit with the Title Company an earnest money deposit in the amount of TWO MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($2,000,000.00) (the "Deposit"). The Deposit shall be non-refundable (except as otherwise specified herein) when paid to the Title Company and shall be delivered to and held by the Title Company pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement. The Deposit shall be fully applicable in determining the Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to Section 3.(a)(i) above.
(ii)
Escrow Agent for the Deposit. The Deposit will be placed with and held in escrow by Republic Title of Texas, Inc., 2626 Howell Street, 10th Floor, Dallas, Texas 75204, Attention: Cathy Moeller (the "Title Company"), in immediately available funds in an interest bearing account at a mutually acceptable banking institution.

4



Any interest earned by the Deposit shall be considered as part of the Deposit for all purposes under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Deposit will be applied as provided in Section 3.(a)(i) above to determine the Closing Date Consideration at the Closing.
(iii)
Independent Contract Consideration. Immediately after its receipt of the Deposit, Title Company shall release to Seller a portion thereof in the amount of ONE HUNDRED AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($100.00) (the "Independent Contract Consideration"), which amount the parties bargained for and agreed to as consideration for execution and delivery of this Agreement by Seller. The Independent Contract Consideration is non-refundable and in addition to any other payment or deposit required by this Agreement, and Seller shall retain the Independent Contract Consideration notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary. After the Independent Contract Consideration has been paid, such Independent Contract Consideration shall no longer be considered part of the Deposit but shall be applied in determining the Purchase Price at Closing pursuant to Section 3.(a)(i) above.
3.(d)
Letter of Credit.
(i)
At Purchaser's election, in lieu of paying all or any portion of the Deposit in cash, Purchaser shall have the right to deliver to the Title Company an irrevocable documentary letter of credit in the original face amount of any or all of the Deposit, naming the Title Company as the beneficiary thereof, drawn on by a financial institution reasonably acceptable to Seller and otherwise in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller (individually and collectively the "Letter of Credit"). At any time prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser may replace all or any portion of the Deposit consisting of cash with a Letter of Credit or replace any previously delivered Letter of Credit, with either a replacement Letter of Credit or cash in an amount equal to the original face amount of the Letter of Credit subject to replacement.
(ii)
In the event Purchaser delivers a Letter of Credit to the Title Company in accordance with Section 3(d)(i), such Letter of Credit shall constitute a portion of the Deposit and be treated as a portion of the Deposit for purposes of this Agreement. Whenever this Agreement provides for the delivery of the Deposit to Seller, the Title Company shall deliver to Seller the original Letter of Credit together with such transfer documents required by the issuer thereof to transfer same to Seller. Upon delivery of the Letter of Credit to Seller, when permitted under the terms of this Agreement, the Letter of Credit shall permit the holder (i.e., Seller) to draw down all or any portion of the proceeds thereof by presenting the Letter of Credit for payment accompanied only by Seller's certification that Seller is expressly entitled to delivery of the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement. The Letter of Credit shall expire not earlier than the earlier of (1) the date on which the Closing occurs, or (2) three hundred sixty-five (365) days after issuance. If the Closing will not occur at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be renewed by Purchaser on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the Letter of Credit, which renewal shall be performed by the delivery of a new Letter of Credit to the Title Company. In the event that

(A) Purchaser fails to renew the Letter of Credit on or before the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration and/or termination of such Letter of Credit or (B) the Title Company receives notice from the issuer of the Letter of Credit that the same will be terminated or revoked, the Title Company shall draw upon such Letter of Credit by presenting the Letter of Credit for payment prior to its expiration, termination and/or revocation and the Title Company shall treat the proceeds of such draw in the same manner as the Deposit and continue to hold such proceeds in escrow in accordance with this Agreement.
(iii)
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Purchaser hereby irrevocably and specifically authorizes and directs the Title Company to draw down on any Letter of Credit prior to the expiration of such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 3(d)(ii), and Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights to deliver instructions to the Title Company that contradict the terms of this Section 3(d); provided, however, that after such draw, the Title Company shall treat the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in the same manner as the Deposit and continue to hold the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement. If the Title Company complies with the terms of this Section 3(d) by drawing upon the Letter of Credit when required under Section 3(d)(ii) and treating the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in the same manner as the Deposit and continuing to hold the proceeds of such Letter of Credit in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser hereby waives any and all rights, claims or causes of action Purchaser might otherwise have against the Title Company arising out of relating to the Title Company’s treatment and handling of the Letter of Credit.
(iv)
At Closing, or in the event Purchaser is earlier entitled to obtain the Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Title Company shall deliver the Letter of Credit to Purchaser marked "cancelled." If the Deposit is delivered to the Title Company in the form of the Letter of Credit, all references herein to (1) the right of Seller to retain or receive (or words having the same or similar import) all or any portion of the Deposit shall be construed as meaning the obligation of the Title Company to: (A) deliver to Seller the original Letter of Credit, together with such transfer documents required by the issuer thereof to transfer same to Seller; or (B) if requested by Seller, to draw down on such Letter of Credit and deliver all or such portion of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to Seller and (2) the right of Purchaser to receive the return of the Deposit shall be construed as meaning the right of Purchaser to receive the return of the Letter of Credit. At Closing, any portion of the Deposit paid in cash and delivered to Seller at the Closing shall be applicable to the Purchase Price.
3.(e)

(i)
Closing Date Consideration. (1) Purchaser shall deliver an amount equal to the Closing Date Consideration to the Title Company via wire transfer in immediately available funds; and (2) the Title Company shall hold and disburse the Closing Date Consideration and the Deposit to Seller in accordance with the Settlement Statement

6

(ii)
Closing Date Indebtedness. Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid in full (on behalf of the applicable Target Company) an amount equal to the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness in accordance with the Debt Payoff Letters. The parties will cooperate in arranging for the repayment of the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness on the Closing Date, and shall take such actions as may be necessary to facilitate such repayment on the Closing Date, and to facilitate the release, in connection with such repayment, of any Encumbrances, all of which (other than Purchaser's legal costs) shall be at Seller's sole expense (which expenses shall constitute Seller Closing Costs, including any such expenses incurred following the Closing Date that shall be paid in accordance with Section 3.(g)(iv)).
(iii)

3.(f)
Pre-Closing Adjustments.
(i)
No later than two (2) but no earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall calculate the Estimated Net Working Capital of the Target Companies and shall provide a schedule reflecting such calculation to Purchaser as an attachment to the Pre-Closing Statement to be delivered pursuant to Section  3.(b)(i). The Estimated Net Working Capital will be calculated in good faith and subject to the approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and calculated on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of, and set forth in, the method for the calculation of Net Working Capital on Exhibit B.
(ii)
If: (1) the Estimated Net Working Capital is less than ONE AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1.00) (the "Target Net Working Capital"), the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted downward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such shortfall; or (2) the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than Target Net Working Capital, the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted upward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such excess. The amount of such increase or decrease based on the Estimated Net Working Capital is referred to herein as the "Closing Date Working Capital Adjustment."
(iii)
No later than two (2) but no earlier than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall calculate the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment as of the Closing Date and shall provide a schedule reflecting such calculation to Purchaser as an attachment to the Pre-Closing Statement to be delivered pursuant to Section  3.(b)(i). The Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment will be calculated in good faith and subject to the approval of Purchaser (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and calculated on a basis consistent with Section 10.(j).
(iv)
If: (1) the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment is less than zero (i.e., meaning that the credits to Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.(j) at the Closing exceed the credits to Seller at the Closing pursuant to Section 10.(j)), the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted downward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such

7



shortfall; or (2) the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment is greater than zero (i.e., meaning that the credits to Seller pursuant to Section 10.(j) at the Closing exceed the credits to Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to Section 10.(j)), the Closing Date Consideration shall be adjusted upward on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of such excess (the amount of such increase or decrease based on the Estimated Section 10.(j) Adjustment is referred to herein as the "Closing Date Section 10.(j) Adjustment").
3.(g)
Post-Closing Adjustments. In addition to the adjustments that may be required after Closing pursuant to Section 10.(j), Purchaser and Seller shall follow the procedures set forth in this Section 3.(g) to determine certain other adjustments that may be required after Closing:
(i)
No later than ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Seller Representative a statement (the "Final Closing Statement") calculating the Closing Date Indebtedness (the "Final Closing Date Indebtedness"), Seller Closing Costs (the "Final Seller Closing Costs") and Net Working Capital of the Target Companies as of the Closing Date, together with all supporting information in connection therewith (the "Final Net Working Capital"). The Final Closing Statement shall be determined in good faith and the Final Net Working Capital shall be calculated on a basis consistent with that used in the preparation of, and set forth in, the method for the calculation of Net Working Capital on Exhibit B.
(ii)
The Seller Representative shall, within thirty (30) calendar days following its receipt of the Final Closing Statement, agree or disagree therewith (the "Review Period"). During the Review Period, Purchaser shall provide the Seller Representative with: (1) such information as may be reasonably requested by the Seller Representative with respect to its review of the Final Closing Statement; and (2) reasonable access to the accounting personnel who prepared the Final Closing Statement; provided, that such information and access shall be provided in a manner that does not interfere with the normal business operations of Purchaser or the Target Companies.
(iii)
If the Seller Representative disagrees with the calculations thereon, it shall give written notice to Purchaser of such disagreement and any reason therefor within the Review Period. Should the Seller Representative fail to notify Purchaser of a disagreement prior to the end of the Review Period, the Seller Representative shall be deemed to agree with Purchaser's calculations set forth on the Final Closing Statement. If the Seller Representative timely objects to any item or calculation on the Final Closing Statement, the Seller Representative and Purchaser shall, during the fifteen (15) day period following the delivery of the Seller Representative's objection, attempt in good faith to resolve the matters on the Final Closing Statement to which the Seller Representative objected. In the event the Seller Representative and Purchaser cannot resolve all of such matters by the end of such fifteen (15) day period, they shall immediately refer the remaining matters in dispute to a nationally recognized accounting firm that is independent as to all parties and mutually agreed upon by the Seller Representative and Purchaser (the "Accounting Referee"). The Accounting Referee shall determine, based solely on written submissions by the Seller Representative and Purchaser and on the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and not by independent review, only those items and amounts in the Final Closing Statement still in dispute and set forth on the Seller Representative's

8



original written objection notice. In resolving any disputed items, the Accounting Referee may not assign a value to any item greater than the greatest value for such item claimed by a party or less than the smallest value for such item claimed by a party. The Accounting Referee shall issue its determination with respect to such disputed items within sixty (60) calendar days after such dispute is referred to the Accounting Referee. The Seller Representative on the one hand, and Purchaser on the other hand, shall bear all of their respective costs and expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing process, except that the fees and expenses of the Accounting Referee hereunder shall be split between the Seller Representative and Purchaser in such proportion as the Accounting Referee shall determine based on the relative merit of the position of the parties and absent any such determination the fees of the Accounting Referee shall be shared equally between the Seller Representative, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand. This provision shall be specifically enforceable by the Seller Representative and Purchaser and the decision of the Accounting Referee in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be final and binding with respect to the matters so arbitrated and there shall be no right of appeal therefrom.
(iv)
If, based on the calculations as finally determined in accordance with this Section 3.(g),
(1)
(A) the Final Closing Date Indebtedness is less than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness, (B) the Final Seller Closing Costs are less than the Estimated Seller Closing Costs, or (C) the Final Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Purchaser shall pay or cause to be paid to the Seller Representative an amount equal to such amounts on a dollar-for-dollar basis, or
(2)
(A) the Final Closing Date Indebtedness is greater than the Estimated Closing Date Indebtedness; (B) the Final Seller Closing Costs are greater than the Estimated Seller Closing Costs; or (C) the Final Net Working Capital is less than the Estimated Net Working Capital, Seller shall pay to Purchaser an amount equal to such amounts on a dollar-for-dollar basis, which obligation shall be a direct, joint and several obligation of Sellers, and shall not be subject to the indemnification procedures set forth in Section 17.(d).
(v)
Final amounts due hereunder shall be paid no later than ten (10) Business Days following the Seller Representative's agreement with Purchaser's calculation of any adjustments set forth above, or in the event of a disagreement, following the resolution of such disagreement by written agreement of Purchaser and the Seller Representative, or the determination of the Accounting Referee. Such amounts shall be paid by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account identified in writing by the recipient of such payment. Any adjustment made in connection with this Section 3.(g) shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price of the applicable Acquired Interests for U.S. federal income Tax purposes.

(i)
Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has ordered, at Seller's sole cost and expense, a commitment for title insurance with respect to the Property (a "Title Commitment"), including copies of all underlying exception documents referenced therein. Seller also has ordered an update of the Existing Survey (the "Updated Survey"). To the extent not delivered to: (1) Seller prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall request that the Title Company deliver to Seller a copy of the Title Commitment for the Property promptly after the Effective Date (or, if later, promptly upon the delivery of the Title Commitment to Purchaser); and (2) Purchaser prior to the Effective Date, Seller shall provide Purchaser with the Updated Survey of the Property promptly after the Effective Date (or, if later, promptly upon the delivery of the Updated Survey to Seller), unless the surveyor delivers the Updated Survey directly to Purchaser.

5.(c)
New Exceptions.
(i)
If an update to a Pro Forma Policy or an Updated Survey for the Property (or, if applicable, if an update to a Title Commitment for the Property) received after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the Closing Date references a new exception to title or a new survey matter for the Property (each, a "New Exception," and collectively, the "New Exceptions"), then Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (the "Objection Period") to provide notice of its objection to Seller (the "Exception Notice"). Seller shall have ten (10) Business Days from its receipt of such Exception Notice to cure

11



any applicable New Exception to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser (the "Exception Cure Period").
(ii)
If Seller is not able to cure such New Exceptions within said Exception Cure Period to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction, then Purchaser shall have the right with respect to each such New Exception relating to the Property, to either: (1) terminate this Agreement, as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, by giving written notice to Seller (a "New Exception Termination Notice") of the same no later than three (3) Business Days after the expiration of the Exception Cure Period (the "Election Period"); provided that if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.(c)(ii), and such New Exception is the result of a default by Seller hereunder, Seller also shall pay to Purchaser the Pursuit Costs (as defined below) up to a maximum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00) so long as Purchaser provides reasonably detailed evidence of such costs to Seller; or (2) elect to waive its termination right pursuant to clause (1) and proceed with the Closing, in which event the applicable New Exception shall be deemed a Permitted Exception for the Property (if Purchaser fails to provide a New Exception Termination Notice pursuant to the terms above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected clause (2) above).

As used herein, the Objection Period, Exception Cure Period, and Election Period, collectively and as applicable, shall be referred to as the "New Exception Period." If an applicable New Exception Period has not expired prior to the then-applicable Closing Date, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to allow for the expiration of the New Exception Period. By way of example, if a New Exception arises one (1) Business Day prior to the Closing Date, then the Closing Date shall be automatically extended by the New Exception Period. If Purchaser then fails to provide an Exception Notice to Seller within the applicable Objection Period, the New Exception Period shall be deemed to expire at the end of the Objection Period (and the Closing Date, as applicable, would be automatically extended pursuant to this Section 5.(c)(iii) and the provisions of Section 10.(b)(vi)).

12



materially interfere with the use or operation of the Property or impact the value of the Property in any significant way (each such Required Encumbrance, a "Permitted Required Encumbrance"), then Seller may cause the Property Owner to encumber the Property with such Permitted Required Encumbrance without having to obtain Purchaser's approval of such Permitted Required Encumbrance, and such Permitted Required Encumbrance shall become a Permitted Exception.
(vi)
Purchaser shall have three (3) Business Days from receipt of Seller's Encumbrance Notice (the "Encumbrance Review Period") to review and approve or disapprove any Required Encumbrance that is not a Permitted Required Encumbrance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If, during the Encumbrance Review Period, Purchaser requests any information related to the applicable Required Encumbrance, then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly provide such information to Purchaser to the extent in Seller's possession and control. A Required Encumbrance shall be deemed approved by Purchaser for all purposes if Purchaser fails to provide Seller with a written disapproval thereto within the Encumbrance Review Period. If a Required Encumbrance is approved or deemed approved by Purchaser, then Seller may cause the Property Owner to encumber the Property with such Required Encumbrance, and such Required Encumbrance shall become a Permitted Exception.
(vii)
If a Required Encumbrance that is not a Permitted Required Encumbrance is disapproved by Purchaser during the Encumbrance Review Period, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of such termination to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following the expiration of the Encumbrance Review Period, and upon such termination, the Deposit will be returned promptly to Purchaser and the parties hereto will have no rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, other than as set forth herein with respect to those rights and obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.(b)
Default by Seller.
(i)
If Seller is obligated to and fails to consummate the transactions contemplated herein at the Closing for any reason except Purchaser's default hereunder, then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy for Seller's failure to close, either:

Terminate this Agreement, in which case: (A) the Title Company shall disburse the Deposit to Purchaser; and (B) Seller will reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement (so long as Purchaser provides reasonably detailed evidence of such costs to Seller),

(iii)
Failure to Give Remedy Notice. Purchaser's failure to give the Remedy Notice with respect to the Closing and to file a lawsuit for specific performance within the applicable time periods set forth above shall constitute an irrevocable election by Purchaser not to pursue its remedy of specific performance, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, as contemplated in Section 12.(b)(i)(1).

December 31, 2017, there have been no changes in any of the accounting (and tax accounting) policies, practices or procedures of either Target Company.
(xii)
Personal Property. Except as set forth in Schedule 13.(m)(xii), each Target Company has good and valid title to all material items of tangible personal property owned by them, and a valid and enforceable right to use all tangible items of personal property leased by or licensed to them (collectively, the "Personal Property"). Except as set forth in Schedule 13.(m)(xii), at the Closing, each Target Company will own or have the right to use all of the assets, rights and properties necessary to conduct in all material respects its business of owning, managing, and operating the Property as of the Closing in the same manner as such business was conducted prior to the Closing.
(xiii)
Insurance. Schedule 13.(m)(xiii) lists the material property/casualty insurance policies maintained by each Target Company. All such insurance policies are in full force and effect and each Target Company is in material compliance with the conditions and warranties of such insurance policies. Except as disclosed on Schedule 13.(m)(xiii), as of the date hereof, there are no pending claims under any such insurance policy. All premiums due to date under such policies have been paid.
(xiv)
Debt. The Existing Debt constitutes the aggregate amount of all principal, accrued interest and any other amounts due and owing in respect of indebtedness of the Target Companies, including pre-payment premiums if any, as of the Closing Date. Seller has provided true, correct, and complete copies of the Existing Debt Documents to Purchaser in the Due Diligence Materials.
13.(n)
Off-Site and Similar Obligations. Except as set forth on Schedule 13.(n), no Target Company has any obligations under a written agreement in effect prior to Closing that would be binding on Purchaser after Closing with respect to the: (i) construction of any off-site improvements; or (ii) the payment of any monies for the performance of any obligations related to or arising out of the development of the Property. To Seller's Knowledge, unless otherwise set forth on Schedule 13.(n), no Target Company has any of the obligations described in Section 13.(n)(i) or (ii) at the time of Closing, whether or not such obligations are in a written agreement.

15.(b)
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 15 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING.
16.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF PURCHASER. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller, which representations and warranties will be deemed made by Purchaser to Seller as of the Effective Date and remade by Purchaser as of the Closing Date, as follows:
16.(a)
Organization, Authority, and Enforceability.
(i)
Organization and Standing. Purchaser is a limited liability company and is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of the properties directly or indirectly owned or leased by Purchaser or in which the conduct of Purchaser's business requires it to be so qualified, except where that failure to so qualify would not have a material adverse effect on Purchaser or any subsidiary of Purchaser.
(ii)
Authority. Purchaser has the organizational power and authority to purchase the Acquired Interests and to carry out Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement. All requisite action necessary to authorize Purchaser to enter into this Agreement and to carry out Purchaser's obligations hereunder has been, or on the Closing Date will have been, taken.
(iii)
Enforceability. This Agreement has been duly executed by Purchaser, is valid and legally binding upon Purchaser, and is enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with its terms, except as limited by General Enforceability Exceptions.
16.(b)
No Conflicts. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not violate any judgment, order, injunction, decree, regulation or ruling of any court or governmental authority or conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Purchaser.

43



16.(c)
Consents. No consent, waiver, approval or authorization is required from any person (that has not already been obtained or shall be obtained by the Closing Date) in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser or the performance by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby.
16.(d)
Anti-Terrorism Matters.
(i)
Neither Purchaser nor any person in control of Purchaser (which for purposes hereof shall mean ownership of 20% or more of outstanding voting securities) (collectively, the "Purchaser Related Parties") have engaged in any dealings or transactions, directly or indirectly in contravention of any U.S. international or other money laundering regulations or conventions, including, without limitation, the United States Bank Secrecy Act, the United States Money Laundering Control Act of 1986, the United States International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act of 2001, Trading with the Enemy Act (50 U.S.C. Section 1, et seq., as amended), or any foreign asset control regulations of the United States Treasury Department (31 CFR, Subtitle B, Chapter V, as amended) or any enabling legislation or executive order relating thereto.
(ii)
Purchaser represents and warrants to, and covenants with Seller that: (1) the Purchaser Related Parties currently are not, and shall not be at any time during the term hereof, in violation of any Anti-Terrorism Laws, including without limitation Executive Order No. 13224 on Terrorist Financing, effective September 24, 2001, and regulations of the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control related to SDNs, and/or the USA Patriot Act; (2) the Purchaser Related Parties are not and shall not be during the term hereof a Prohibited Person; and (3) Purchaser has taken appropriate steps to understand its legal obligations under the Anti-Terrorism Laws and has implemented appropriate procedures to assure its continued compliance with such laws.
16.(e)
REIT Status. Assuming the Target REIT qualified as a Real Estate Investment Trust immediately prior to the Closing, then Purchaser's acquisition of the Common Shares in the Target REIT will not cause the Target REIT to fail to qualify as a Real Estate Investment Trust on the Closing Date.
16.(f)
Securities Laws.
(i)
Purchaser is an "accredited investor," as such term is defined in Regulation D promulgated under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and all rules, rulings, and regulations thereunder (the "Securities Act"), and has executed and delivered such documents in evidence thereof as Seller has reasonably requested.
(ii)
Purchaser has been, or prior to Closing will be, furnished access to the business and financial records of the Target Companies and such additional information and documents as Purchaser has requested or may request, and has been, or prior to Closing will be, afforded an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, representatives of Seller concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Target Companies, operations, capitalization, financial condition,

44



and prospects of the Target Companies, and all other matters deemed relevant to Purchaser.
(iii)
Purchaser is acquiring the Acquired Interests solely for its own account for investment purposes and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Purchaser acknowledges that the Acquired Interests are not registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws, and that the Acquired Interests may not be transferred or sold except pursuant to the registration provisions of the Securities Act or pursuant to an applicable exemption therefrom and subject to state securities laws and regulations, as applicable.
(iv)
Purchaser has sufficient knowledge and experience in financial or business matters to evaluate the merits and risks of an investment in the Acquired Interests. Purchaser can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the Acquired Interests for an indefinite period of time and can afford to suffer the complete loss of the investment in the Acquired Interests.
17.
LIMITATIONS ON REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
17.(a)
Seller's Knowledge; Purchaser's Knowledge.
(i)
As used in this Agreement, "Seller's Knowledge" or words of similar import means: (1) the actual knowledge of those specific persons set forth on Schedule 17.(a)(i)(1), without duty of investigation or inquiry, who are the representatives of Seller most familiar with the operations of the Property ("Seller's Property Representatives"); and (2) with respect to matters related specifically to the Target Companies and not the Property (including but not limited to REIT matters affecting the Target REIT and organizational matters of the Target Companies), the actual knowledge of those specific persons set forth on Schedule 17.(a)(i)(2), after reasonable inquiry, who are the representatives of Seller most familiar with the organization, taxation, and operation of the Target Companies (together with Seller's Property Representatives, the "Seller's Knowledge Representatives"). Seller's Knowledge Representatives shall not have any personal liability whatsoever for the representations and warranties made herein or for any other matters relating to this Agreement. Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller's Knowledge Representatives' actual knowledge regarding the foregoing matters (including any environmental matters) may be limited.
(ii)
"Purchaser's Knowledge" or words of similar import means the actual knowledge of those specific persons set forth on Schedule 17.(a)(ii) ("Purchaser's Knowledge Representatives"). Purchaser's Knowledge Representatives shall not have any personal liability whatsoever for the representations and warranties made herein or for any other matters relating to this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that the Purchaser's Knowledge Representatives' actual knowledge regarding the foregoing matters (including any environmental matters) may be limited.
17.(b)
Right to Supplement Representations.

45



(i)
Seller shall have the right, from time to time prior to the Closing, to amend or supplement the representations and warranties in this Agreement by amendment of the Schedules attached hereto or by the addition of new Schedules (each a "Schedule Amendment"), in all cases only to reflect changes in facts or conditions or to correct any factual inaccuracies that may become known or recognized after the Effective Date (other than factual inaccuracies of which Seller was aware prior to the execution of this Agreement and intentionally did not clarify or disclose on a Schedule). Any such Schedule Amendment shall be effectuated by written notice from Seller to Purchaser at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(ii)
If any facts, circumstances or changes that are the subject of a Schedule Amendment properly delivered in accordance with clause (i) above would have resulted in any of Seller's representations or warranties contained herein to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect if such Schedule Amendment were not so delivered or Purchaser otherwise became aware that any representation or warranty is untrue or inaccurate in any material respect, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to that effect (specifying the basis for such termination) prior to Closing, in which case: (1) the Title Company shall disburse the Deposit to Purchaser; and (2) Seller will reimburse Purchaser for its Pursuit Costs up to a maximum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250,000.00), if such representation or warranty was untrue when made (and Seller was aware it was untrue when made) or becomes untrue as a result of a breach of any provision of this Agreement by Seller; provided that, if Purchaser does not exercise such right to terminate this Agreement, then: (A) Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted such supplemented Schedules hereto; and (B) the delivery of any such supplement will be deemed to have cured any misrepresentation or breach of warranty that otherwise might have existed hereunder by reason of such changes in facts or conditions.
17.(c)
Post-Closing Breach.
(i)
The representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing (a "Non-Tax Survival Period") for a period of nine (9) months after the Closing (other than the representations and warranties contained in: (1) Section 13.(m)(x), which shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years after the federal income tax returns for the Target REIT for the 2018 calendar year have been filed (or, if earlier, the date such returns should have been filed after giving effect to any applicable extensions for the 2018 calendar year) (the "Tax Survival Period"); and (2) Section 11, Section 13.(a), Section 13.(d), Section 13.(m)(i), Section 13.(m)(ii), Section 13.(m)(iii) and Section 13.(m)(iv) (the "Fundamental Reps"), which shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years after the Closing (together with the applicable Non-Tax Survival Period and the Tax Survival Period, sometimes referred to as a "Survival Period")).
(ii)
Purchaser must notify Seller in writing of any claim or cause of action for a breach of any representation and warranty contained in this Agreement, prior to the expiration of the Survival Period with respect to the applicable representations and warranties, and any claim or cause of action brought with respect to a breach of any representation and warranty contained in this Agreement (each, a "Recovery

46



Action") must be asserted not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable Survival Period with respect to the applicable representations and warranties (or such lesser time as may be permitted under any applicable statute of limitations). Time is of the essence with respect to the foregoing time periods, and any such claim or cause of action not timely raised in a notice and asserted shall be barred. If any representation or warranty of the Seller made in this Agreement is Known by Purchaser prior to the Closing to be untrue in any material respect and is not remedied by the Seller prior to the Closing, and if Purchaser still elects to proceed with the Closing, then Purchaser shall not have any right to bring a Recovery Action with respect to such representation or warranty.
(iii)
Purchaser waives its right to bring a Recovery Action for any breach of the representations and warranties contained herein, unless the aggregate damages to Purchaser, if any, exceeds the liability threshold of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) ("Liability Threshold"). Once the total of Purchaser's actual, direct damages exceeds the Liability Threshold, then Purchaser shall be entitled to recover damages back to the first dollar of loss, without regard to such Liability Threshold.
(iv)
Purchaser agrees that: (1) with respect to any alleged breach of representations and warranties contained in this Agreement (other than the representations and warranties contained in Section 13.(m)(x) and the Fundamental Reps) discovered during the Survival Period and the indemnification payments related to a breach of such "non-fundamental and non-tax" representations pursuant to Section 17.(d)(i)(2) or indemnification payments to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 17.(d)(i)(6), the maximum liability of Seller for all such alleged breaches is limited to ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,700,000.00) in the aggregate; (2) subject to Section 17.(c)(iv)(3) below, the maximum liability of Seller for indemnification payments to any Purchaser Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Agreement (including without limitation pursuant to Section 11 and Section 17.(d)(i)(1) and 17.(d)(i)(3)) shall not exceed the Closing Date Consideration in the aggregate; and (3) notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 17.(c)(iv)(1) and Section 17.(c)(iv)(2) above, the maximum liability of Seller for indemnification payments relating to any misrepresentation or breach of warranty under a Fundamental Rep or under Section 13.(m)(x) or pursuant to any claims under Section 17.(d)(i)(4) and/or Section 17.(d)(i)(5) below shall not exceed FIFTY-ONE MILLION FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($51,050,000.00).
(v)
The provisions of this Section 17.(c) shall survive the Closing. For purposes of determining the amount of Losses, but not for purposes of determining whether a breach has occurred giving rise to Losses, any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty shall be determined without regard to any materiality or other similar qualification contained in or otherwise applicable to such representation or warranty.
17.(d)
Indemnification.

47



(i)
Indemnification of Purchaser. From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of Section 17.(c) and this Section 17.(d), each Seller entity, on a joint and several basis, agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser and each partner, officer, director, employee, stockholder, and affiliate of Purchaser (the "Purchaser Indemnified Parties") from and against:
(1)
any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities, demands, charges, suits, penalties, costs, and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and expenses incurred in investigating and preparing for or participating in any litigation, collection proceedings, bankruptcy proceedings, alternative dispute resolution proceedings or any other proceeding (collectively, a "Loss" or "Losses") of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with a claim brought by a person (a "Third Party") that is not an affiliate of any Purchaser Indemnified Party and/or any Seller Indemnified Party (a "Third Party Claim") that: (A) actually was caused by or arose out of (or was alleged to have been caused by or to have arisen out of) the acts or omissions of the Seller Indemnified Parties or the Target Companies occurring prior to the Closing, other than such events, facts or circumstances of which Seller has no Knowledge as of the Closing Date and that relate to the physical condition of the Property, including environmental issues; (B) actually arose out of (or was alleged to have arisen out of) other events, facts or circumstances that have occurred or are in existence prior to the Closing, other than such events, facts or circumstances of which Seller has no Knowledge as of the Closing Date and that relate to the physical condition of the Property, including environmental issues; or (C) actually arose out of (or was alleged to have arisen out of) those items listed on Schedule 17.(d)(i)(1) based on: (I) acts or omissions of the Seller or the Target Companies occurring prior to the Closing; and/or (II) events, facts, or circumstances that have occurred or are in existence prior to the Closing; provided that the amount of any such Losses shall be calculated net of any insurance proceeds actually received by a Purchaser Indemnified Party; and provided further that a Purchaser Indemnified Party shall have no obligation to pursue any insurers for the purpose of mitigating any such Losses;
(2)
any misrepresentation or breach of warranty made by Seller herein or pursuant to any agreement or certificate delivered in accordance herewith;
(3)
any and all Losses that arise out of any breach or default by Seller of any covenant or obligation contained herein that is performable after, or that survives, the Closing;
(4)
subject to Purchasers' obligation to cause the Existing Debt to be repaid in full pursuant to the Debt Payoff Letters in accordance with Section 3.(e)(ii), any Closing Date Indebtedness, including but not limited to the Existing Debt, and any Liabilities directly related thereto (including unpaid lender attorney fees and environmental indemnification claims) that will survive the Closing;

(5)
any and all Losses relating to Taxes imposed on the Target Company, or for which the Target Company may otherwise be liable: (A) for any Tax period, or portion thereof, ending on or before the sale of the Acquired Interests on the Closing Date; (B) that are attributable to the inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranties set forth in Section 13.(m)(x); or (C) for any member of any consolidated, combined or unitary group of which the Target REIT is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date by reason of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6(a) or any analogous or similar foreign, state or local law including, for the avoidance of doubt, a combined Texas franchise Tax report; provided, however, Seller shall have no responsibility or liability under this Section 17.(d)(i)(5) for any Taxes of the Target REIT (or for which a Target REIT may otherwise be liable): (I) that are allocated to Purchaser hereunder; (II) that have been credited against and, thus, have reduced, the Purchase Price hereunder; or (III) that result from any action or omission taken or not taken by Purchaser, any of its affiliates, or any of the Target Companies from and after the Closing Date (including, without limitation, any breach by Purchaser of its representations, warranties, and/or covenants set forth in Sections 16.(e) and 19.(b)). In the case of any Tax period beginning on or before and ending after the Closing Date, the portion of the Tax attributable to the period ending on the Closing Date with respect to Taxes based on income, receipts, or payroll or imposed in connection with the sale of property that are not otherwise prorated pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax period of the Target REIT ended with and included the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period; and

any and all Losses of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties in connection with a claim brought by a Third Party in connection with or arising from the Disbursement Agreement or the GC Contract, including, without limitation, any claim by the GC under the GC Contract for payment of the Unpaid TI Amount, the cost of any Punch List Items, and the cost of any work necessary to obtain a certificate of occupancy that is the responsibility of Property Owner under the Tenant Lease.
(ii)
Indemnification of Seller. From and after the Closing and subject to the provisions of this Section 17.(d), Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and each partner, member, officer, director, employee, stockholder, and affiliate of the Seller (the "Seller Indemnified Parties," and together with the Purchaser Indemnified Parties, the "Indemnified Parties" or each, an "Indemnified Party") from and against:
(1)
any and all Losses of the Seller Indemnified Parties: (A) in connection with a Third Party Claim that occurred after the Closing and that were caused by acts or omissions of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Target Companies occurring after the Closing Date, but only to the extent not

49



covered by the insurance then being maintained with respect to the Property; or (B)  that arise out of any breach or default by Purchaser of any of its representations or warranties under this Agreement; and
(2)
any and all Losses that arise out of any breach or default by Purchaser of any covenant or obligation contained herein that is performable after, or that survives, the Closing or that is contained in any assignment or conveyance document delivered pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii)
Defense of Third‑Party Claims. An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to any entity or person who is obligated to provide indemnification hereunder (an "Indemnifying Party") of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which such Indemnified Party shall seek indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 17.(d) unless the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to assume control of the defense of, settle, or otherwise dispose of such Third Party Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate; provided, however, that:
(1)
The Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim (provided, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys' fees of the Indemnified Party if: (A) the employment of separate counsel has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim; (B) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party in such Third Party Claim; or (C) the Indemnified Party's counsel has advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);
(2)
The Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third‑party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, any injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment would materially adversely affect its business;
(3)
No Indemnifying Party shall consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third‑party action; and
(4)
The Indemnifying Party shall pay for, but shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of),

50



and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any Third Party Claim: (A) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time; or (B) to the extent the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.
(iv)
The parties hereto shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 17.(d) and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.
(v)
Any indemnification claims made pursuant to Section 11 or this Section 17 relating to a Recovery Action must be asserted not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the applicable Survival Period with respect to the applicable representation and warranty (or such lesser time as may be permitted under the applicable statute of limitations). Any other indemnification claim under this Section 17 must be asserted not later than thirty (30) days after the expiration of the third anniversary of the Closing (or if the indemnification claim relates to a breach of a covenant that occurs more than thirty (30) months after the Closing (or Purchaser first has knowledge of such breach of covenant more than thirty (30) months after the Closing), then such indemnification claim must be asserted not later than six (6) months after such breach of covenant (or, if later, six (6) months after Purchaser first has knowledge of such breach of covenant)). No claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 17 may be made with respect to a default of either Seller or Purchaser under this Agreement prior to the Closing which the other party had Knowledge (as defined in Section 17.(a) with respect to each party) of prior to the Closing (with the understanding that remedies with respect to any such pre-Closing defaults are expressly covered by Section 12.(c) above).
18.
COVENANTS OF SELLER.
18.(a)
Continued Operations. Except as provided in Section 18.(b), from the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller will cause the Property Owner to: (i) maintain, own and operate the Property in its current state and condition in accordance with such Property Owner's customary manner, reasonable wear and tear and damage from casualty excepted; (ii) continue all insurance policies relative to the Property in full force and effect to the extent such insurance policies continue to be commercially available at commercially reasonable rates; (iii) perform, when due, all material obligations under any and all agreements relating to the Property (including, without limitation, the Tenant Lease) and otherwise in accordance with applicable laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; and (iv) not file any election for the Property Owner to be treated as a corporation for federal, state, or local income tax purposes.

51



18.(b)
Lease Enforcement. Prior to the Closing Date, the Property Owner shall have the right, but not the obligation to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under the Tenant Lease, provided Purchaser's consent shall be required to the extent such enforcement occurs following the Effective Date (with such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), by summary proceeding or otherwise, to apply all or any portion of any deposits then held by the Property Owner toward any loss or damage incurred by the Property Owner by reason of any defaults by Tenants, and the exercise of any such rights or remedies shall not affect the obligations of Purchaser nor constitute a waiver of Purchaser's rights under this Agreement in any manner or entitle Purchaser to a reduction in, or credit or allowance against, the Purchase Price or give rise to any other claim on the part of Purchaser. If the Property Owner applies any portion of any security deposit toward the repair of any damage, then such damaged property shall be restored to substantially the condition it was in prior to such damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not permit the Property Owner to terminate the Tenant Lease or remove (or initiate any legal action to remove) any Tenant from occupancy prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall be in Purchaser's sole discretion after the Effective Date.
18.(c)
Tenant Leases. From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller will deliver or make available to Purchaser copies of all new leases entered into after the Effective Date and copies of all proposals entered into after the Effective Date (each, a "New Proposal"). Except as otherwise provided on Schedule 18.(c), Seller shall not permit the Property Owner, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, (which consent may be given or withheld in Purchaser's sole and absolute discretion after the Effective Date), to: (i) amend or otherwise modify the Tenant Lease; (ii) cancel or terminate the Tenant Lease; or (iii) execute any new leases; provided, however, that Seller shall be permitted to authorize the Property Owner to enter into any mandatory lease agreement or amendment that is required pursuant to the Tenant Lease (to the extent such lease agreement or lease amendment is provided for in documents provided to Purchaser by the Seller prior to the Effective Date), and Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and consented to such lease or amendment. Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days from its receipt of any New Proposal to notify Seller in writing of its approval or rejection of any such New Proposal. If Seller does not receive any such notice within such five (5) Business Day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved such New Proposal. Seller shall have the right to execute lease documents in form and substance agreed to by Purchaser, in conformance with a New Proposal approved or deemed approved by Purchaser as provided in this Agreement.
18.(d)
Organizational Document Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 18.(d), from the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall not: (i) amend or otherwise modify the Target REIT Organizational Documents or the Property Owner Organizational Documents unless Seller first obtains Purchaser's prior written consent, to be given at its sole discretion; (ii) cause, consent to, or knowingly permit the issuance by the Target Companies of any additional ownership interests or the admission by any of them of any additional member, or (iii) cause, consent to, or knowingly permit the creation of any new subsidiary beneath any Target Company.
18.(e)
Material Contracts. From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall not permit any Target Company to enter into any new contracts or terminate or modify, in any material respect, any Service Contracts or Material Contracts: (i) that require more than thirty (30) days' prior notice to terminate, regardless of whether or not a fee or penalty is charged; or

52



(ii) that require the payment of a termination fee in excess of a de minimis administrative or clerical processing fee, regardless of the required notice period, except as may be permitted or required by this Agreement, or as may be approved by Purchaser in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may, without notice to or the consent of Purchaser, enter into any new contracts that are terminable prior to the Closing without penalty or continuing liability.
18.(f)
Officers. At the Closing, Seller shall cause any officers, managers or directors of the Property Owner and the Target REIT to resign.
18.(g)
Management Agreements. At the Closing, Seller shall cause the termination of all existing management agreements pertaining to the Property.
18.(h)
Provision of Documents. Seller shall provide to Purchaser all documents and information within Seller's possession or control relating to the Target Companies and/or the Property reasonably requested by Purchaser.
18.(i)
Encumbrances. Except for Required Encumbrances as may be approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 5.(c)(iv), Seller shall not: (i) record any Encumbrances against the Property, including any zoning or land use filings, after the Effective Date; or (ii) consent to or acquiesce in the recording of any other Encumbrances against the Property after the Effective Date, unless in each case Seller first obtains the prior written consent of Purchaser (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld).
18.(j)
Exclusivity. Until the earliest to occur of: (i) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof; or (ii) the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, Seller will negotiate exclusively with Purchaser relating to the purchase or disposition of all or any material portion of the assets of either or both the Target Companies and/or the ownership interests in such Target Companies.
18.(k)
General Contractor and Architect Contracts. Seller shall not modify, amend or terminate the GC Contract or the architect's agreement without Purchaser's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless such modification, amendment or termination to the GC Contract relates to any construction warranty, in which case, such approval shall be in Purchaser's sole discretion. Furthermore, subsequent to the determination of the Unpaid TI Amount (which shall be made three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date), Seller shall not enter into or accept any Tenant requested changes to the Final Plans (as defined in the Tenant Lease).
19.
COVENANTS OF PURCHASER.
19.(a)
Treatment of Transaction. Purchaser shall treat and report the purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests at the Closing contemplated herein on all Tax Returns and in all proceedings involving any federal, state or local tax authorities as a purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests and not as a purchase of the Property from the Property Owner, provided that Property Owner shall be permitted to make the election to adjust basis as provided in Section 754 of the Code with respect to the JV Interests.
19.(b)
Continuing Compliance with REIT Qualification Requirements.

53



(i)
For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on January 1 of the year following the calendar year in which the Closing Date occurs (the "Post-Acquisition Period"), Purchaser will cause the Target REIT to continue to be organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a Real Estate Investment Trust; provided that the representations and warranties of Seller in respect of Tax matters are true and correct and no changes in the applicable laws have occurred that would prevent the Target REIT from qualifying as a Real Estate Investment Trust for such period.
(ii)
Without limiting the generality of Section 19.(b)(i), Purchaser covenants that for any taxable year ending in 2018: (1) the ultimate beneficial ownership of Purchaser will be such that it will not cause the Target REIT to be "closely held" or characterized as a "pension-held REIT" within the meaning of Sections 856(a)(6) and (h) of the Code; and (2) the Target REIT will not make any distributions that are "preferential dividends" within the meaning of Section 562(c) of the Code.
(iii)
USIF II Seller consents to the contribution, transfer, and assignment of the five percent (5%) membership interest in Property Owner acquired by Purchaser from JV Seller to Target REIT effective as of the opening of business on the day after the Closing Date provided that such contribution, transfer, and assignment does not cause a breach of the covenants set forth in Sections 19.(b)(i) and 19.(b)(ii).
19.(c)
No Section 338 Election. Purchaser will not make or permit to be made an election under Section 338 of the Code (or similar provision under state or local law) with respect to the purchase of the Acquired Interests hereunder.
19.(d)
Notifications Regarding Audits. Purchaser shall promptly inform Seller of any IRS or state or local audit of any Tax Return relating to any part of the Post-Acquisition Period for any Target Company or any prior taxable year of any Target Company and shall keep Seller fully informed of all developments and any ensuing litigation, to the extent such matters could give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 17.(d)(i)(5).
19.(e)
Tax Returns for Current Taxable Year and Subsequent Periods.
(i)
Except as provided below in Section 19.(e)(ii) and Section 19.(e)(iii), Purchaser shall prepare and file all Tax Returns and amendments thereto required to be filed by or on behalf of any Target Company after the Closing Date. Purchaser shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to filing with the applicable authority, provide to Seller for review and comment (and Purchaser agrees it shall act reasonably in accepting or objecting to any of Seller's comments) draft copies of the federal, state or local income or franchise Tax Returns to be filed by the Target Companies with the applicable authority (along with related work papers) for any taxable year ending on any date in 2018. Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with tax accounting practices consistently used by the applicable Target Company in prior periods; provided, however, for purposes of determining the amount of Property Owner income, gain, loss, and deduction to be allocated to its members prior to Closing and after Closing, the Property Owner shall make such allocation based on an interim closing of the books of the Property Owner as of the Closing Date.

54



(ii)
Purchaser shall not file any amended Tax Return or other return based on income or net worth required by a federal, state or local taxing authority for the Target Companies for any taxable year ending on any date in 2018 and any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date without the express written consent of the Seller Representative (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), if such amended return would result in an increased tax liability to Seller or its ultimate beneficial owners.
(iii)
For all taxable periods ending on or before the Closing Date: (1) Seller will be responsible for and will cause to be prepared and duly filed, at Seller's sole cost and expense, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Property Owner; and (2) Seller will be responsible for and will cause to be prepared and duly filed, at Seller's sole cost and expense, all Tax Returns required to be filed by or on behalf of the Target REIT. Seller shall, at least fifteen (15) days prior to filing with the applicable authority, provide to Purchaser for review and approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) draft copies of the federal, state or local income or franchise tax returns to be filed after the Closing Date (along with related work papers). Such Tax Returns shall be prepared in accordance with tax accounting practices consistently used by the applicable Target Company in prior periods (except in the case of the Target REIT, the Target REIT shall be taxed as real estate investment trust beginning on October 1, 2015).
19.(f)
No Retroactive Elections. Except as provided in Section 19.(a) above, Purchaser shall at no time make or permit to be made any election with respect to any Target Company that for federal income tax purposes will be given, in whole or part, effect on or prior to the Closing Date without the consent of the Seller Representative (which consent, in either case, shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld, or delayed) to the extent such election would cause the Target REIT to fail to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or would give rise to a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Agreement (unless required by applicable Tax law).
19.(g)
Proceedings.
(i)
If Purchaser or any of its affiliates receive notice (the "Proceeding Notice") of any examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding with respect to the status of the Target REIT as a Real Estate Investment Trust under the Code, or otherwise with respect to the federal, state or local Tax liability of any Target Company for any taxable year ending on any date in 2018 or any prior taxable year, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing thereof (the "Purchaser Notice") no later than the earlier of: (1) ten (10) Business Days after the receipt by Purchaser or any of its affiliates of the Proceeding Notice; or (2) ten (10) days prior to the deadline for responding to the Proceeding Notice (or such reasonably shorter period should the deadline be less than ten (10) days). Such Purchaser Notice shall contain factual information known by Purchaser describing any asserted liability in reasonable detail and shall be accompanied by copies of any notice or other documents received from any taxing authority with respect to such matter.
(ii)
Seller shall be entitled to control or settle the contest of any such examination, claim, adjustment, or other proceeding which relates to any Tax year ending on or prior to

55



December 31, 2017, provided: (1) it notifies Purchaser in writing that it desires to do so no later than the earlier of: (A) thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser Notice; or (B) five (5) days prior to the deadline for responding to the Proceeding Notice; and (2) Seller may not agree to any settlement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to participate at its own expense in the defense of any such examination, claim, adjustment or other proceeding.
(iii)
Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller and with its affiliates, and shall consult with Seller, in the negotiation and settlement of any proceeding described in Section 19.(g)(ii). Purchaser will provide, or cause to be provided, to Seller necessary authorizations, including powers of attorney, to control any proceedings which Seller is entitled to control pursuant to Section 19.(g)(ii). Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, will provide the other party with such cooperation and information as the other party may reasonably request in preparing or filing any Tax Return, amended return, or claim for refund, in determining a liability or a right of refund, or in conducting any audit or other proceeding, in respect of any Taxes imposed on the parties or their respective affiliates due to their ownership of the Target Companies (as applicable).
(iv)
For any taxable year ending on any date in 2018 and all prior taxable years, Purchaser will preserve and retain all Tax Returns, schedules, work papers and all material records or other documents relating to any such returns, claims, audits, or other proceedings until the longer of seven (7) years after the Closing Date or the expiration of the statutory period of limitations (including extensions) of the taxable periods to which such documents relate and until the final determination of any payments which may be required with respect to such periods under this Agreement and shall make such documents available to Seller or any affiliate thereof, and their respective officers, employees and agents, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, it being understood that such representatives shall be entitled to make copies of any such books and records relating to the Target Companies as they shall deem necessary. Any information obtained pursuant to this subparagraph shall be kept confidential, except as may be otherwise necessary in connection with the filing of returns or claims for refund or in conducting any audit or other proceeding. Purchaser shall provide reasonable cooperation and information required by this Section 19.(g) at its own expense.
19.(h)
Restrictions on Use of Certain Names. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it will not use, and will not permit any Target Company to use, the name of any Seller in connection with the management, operation, leasing, and/or sale of the Property or in connection with the business and affairs of a Target Company, without first obtaining the prior written consent of JV Seller or USIF II Seller, as applicable.
19.(i)
Survival. The covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 19 shall survive the Closing. The failure of either party to provide any copies of a notice or other document as may be required by this Section 19 shall not be considered a breach of the covenant set forth in this Section 19 unless it materially prejudices such party's ability to defend against such examination, adjustment, claim or other proceeding, as the case may be.

56



20.

(ii)
If Purchaser fails to timely make its election to terminate the Agreement, then the Closing will take place as provided herein without reduction of the allocable portion of the Purchase Price, and the Property Owner will retain its interest in and to any casualty insurance proceeds through Closing, other than the proceeds of any business interruption or loss of rental insurance attributable to the period prior to Closing, which shall be paid to Seller.
21.(b)
Minor Damage. If prior to the Closing there occurs damage to any portion of the Property other than a Material Portion of the Property caused by fire or other insured casualty, then subject to Section 21.(c), Purchaser will have no right to terminate this Agreement, but (i) the Property Owner shall retain at the Closing all of its interest in and to any casualty insurance proceeds which may be payable to the Property Owner on account of any such occurrence, other than the proceeds of any business interruption or loss of rental insurance attributable to the period prior to Closing, which shall be paid to Seller; and (ii) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to any such deductible together with a credit for any self-insured amount.

(i)
This Agreement will be construed under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, but excluding choice of law principles that would require the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consents to submit to the sole and exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware for any litigation arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the negotiation, validity, or performance of this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated hereby (the

60



"Litigation Matter"). If (and only if) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular Litigation Matter, the parties consent to jurisdiction of the federal court sitting in the State of Delaware for any such Litigation Matter, and if the federal court sitting in the State of Delaware refuses to accept such jurisdiction, the parties consent to jurisdiction of any state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of Delaware for such Litigation Matter. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any Litigation Matter except in such courts, waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such litigation in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware (or, if (and only if) the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, any federal court or state court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the State of Delaware in Wilmington, Delaware as outlined above).

Each of the parties agrees that a final and non-appealable judgment in any action or proceeding in such courts as provided above shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by applicable law. Each of the parties agrees: (1) to the extent such party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such party's agent for acceptance of legal process; and (2) that service of process may also be made on such party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service. Service made pursuant to (1) or (2) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such party personally within the State of Delaware.
(ii)
The parties recognize that, with respect to the Property, it may be necessary for the parties to comply with certain aspects of the laws of other states in order to consummate the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant hereto. The parties shall comply with such other laws to the extent necessary to consummate the purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests. The parties intend that the provisions of this Agreement be applied to the Acquired Interests and the Property in a manner that results in the greatest consistency possible.
23.(d)
Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE NEGOTIATION, VALIDITY, OR PERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE IN ANY WAY TO THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS, BREACH OF DUTY CLAIMS, AND ALL OTHER CLAIMS OF ANY TYPE OR NATURE WHATSOEVER. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH EACH HAS ALREADY RELIED ON THE WAIVER IN ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT EACH WILL CONTINUE TO RELY ON THE WAIVER IN

61



THEIR RELATED FUTURE DEALINGS. THE PARTIES HERETO FURTHER WARRANT AND REPRESENT THAT EACH HAS REVIEWED THIS WAIVER WITH ITS LEGAL COUNSEL, AND THAT EACH KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ITS JURY TRIAL RIGHTS FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. THIS WAIVER IS IRREVOCABLE, MEANING THAT IT MAY NOT BE MODIFIED EITHER ORALLY OR IN WRITING, AND THE WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT OR TO ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.
23.(e)
Drafts Not an Offer. The parties hereto agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests. The parties shall be legally bound with respect to the purchase and sale of the Acquired Interests only if and when each party to this Agreement has fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement.
23.(f)

23.(h)
Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement will be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein. Furthermore, in lieu of any such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision, there will be automatically added to this Agreement a provision as similar to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid and enforceable.
23.(i)
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the sole agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior understandings or written or oral agreements between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be contradicted by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements of the parties. Each party acknowledges that no other party, nor its agents, employees, or representatives have made any statements, representations, or promises to induce such party to enter into this Agreement, except as expressly set forth herein. Each party further acknowledges that it is not relying on any statements, representations, or

23.(j)
No Waiver; Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by a written instrument signed by all of the parties hereto. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, any waiver of a condition by a party or waiver of an obligation of the other party shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the party waiving such conditions or obligations and cannot be changed except by their written consent.
23.(k)
Time. Time is of the essence in this Agreement.
23.(l)
Survival. The provisions of this Agreement that expressly require or contemplate performance after the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged into the instruments of the Closing. In addition, the provisions of this Agreement which by the express terms hereof expressly survive the Closing or termination or cancellation of this Agreement shall so survive the Closing, termination or cancellation of this Agreement, as so stated. All other provisions of this Agreement shall not survive the Closing, termination, or cancellation of this Agreement.
23.(m)
Construction. The parties hereto acknowledge that the parties and their respective counsel have each reviewed and revised this Agreement, and that the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party will not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.
23.(n)
Performance on Business Days. If any action is required to be performed, or if any notice, consent or other communication is given, on a day that is not a Business Day, such performance shall be deemed to be required, and such notice, consent or other communication shall be deemed to be given, on the first Business Day following such non-Business Day. Unless otherwise specified herein, all references herein to a "day" or "days" shall refer to calendar days and not Business Days. A "Business Day" means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or any day that is a national banking holiday.
23.(o)
Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns, but except as contemplated herein, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, by any party without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except that Purchaser may assign upon prior written notice to Seller at least five (5) days prior to Closing all or any portion of its rights hereunder to one or more of its affiliates that are controlled and majority-owned by the same persons that own and control Purchaser; provided, that no such assignment shall relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. Upon any such permitted assignment, the references in this Agreement to Purchaser shall also apply to any such assignee unless the context otherwise requires.
23.(p)
Counterparts. The parties may execute this Agreement in two or more separate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

23.(q)
Further Assurances. From time to time after the Closing Date, at the request of the other party hereto and at the expense of the party so requesting, the parties hereto shall execute and deliver to such requesting party such documents and take such other actions as such requesting party may reasonably request in order to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.
24.
GUARANTY.
24.(a)
Guaranty. Subject to Section 24.(g), US Industrial Fund II REIT, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor"), hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the prompt and full discharge by USIF II Seller of all of Seller's covenants, agreements, obligations and liabilities under this Agreement (whether separately made or incurred or jointly and severally made or incurred with JV Seller) for a period of three (3) years after the Closing Date, including but not limited to Seller's indemnification obligations hereunder (collectively, the "Obligations"), in accordance with the terms hereof. Subject to Section 24.(g), Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to all Obligations of USIF II Seller to pay money during such three (3) year period, such guaranty shall be a guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection and shall not be conditioned or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against any Seller. Subject to Section 24.(g), if USIF II Seller shall default in the due and punctual performance of any Obligations during such three (3) year period, including the full and timely payment of any amount due and payable pursuant to any Obligations, Guarantor will forthwith perform or cause to be performed such Obligations and will forthwith make full payment of any amount due with respect thereto at its sole cost and expense.
24.(b)
Guaranty Unconditional. The liabilities and obligations of the Guarantor pursuant to this Agreement during the three (3) years following the Closing Date are unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by:
(i)
any acceleration, extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect of any Obligations by operation of law or otherwise;
(ii)
the invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Agreement;
(iii)
any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement;
(iv)
any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of USIF II Seller or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any of them or their respective assets; or
(v)
any other act, omission to act, delay of any kind by any party hereto or any other person, or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section 24.(b), constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the obligations of Guarantor hereunder.
24.(c)
Waiver of the Guarantor. Guarantor hereby waives any right, whether legal or equitable, statutory or non-statutory, to require any person to proceed against or take any action against

64



or pursue any remedy with respect to USIF II Seller or any other person or make presentment or demand for performance or give any notice of nonperformance before Purchaser or any other beneficiary hereof may enforce its rights hereunder against Guarantor.
24.(d)
Discharge only upon Performance in Full; Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances. Subject to Section 24.(g), Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect for three (3) years following the Closing, and shall terminate on such three (3) year anniversary except for any specific unpaid claims against USIF II Seller that arise during such three (3) year period that either are in process or with respect to which Purchaser has notified Guarantor in writing on or before such three (3) year period. If at any time during such three (3) year period, any performance by any person of any Obligation is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of USIF II Seller or otherwise, Guarantor's obligations hereunder with respect to such Obligation shall be reinstated at such time as though such Obligation had become due and had not been performed.
24.(e)
Subrogation. Upon performance by Guarantor of any Obligation, Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of Purchaser against USIF II Seller with respect to such Obligation; provided that Guarantor shall not enforce any Obligation by way of subrogation against USIF II Seller while any Obligation is due and unperformed by USIF II Seller.
24.(f)
Net Worth. Subject to Section 24.(g), Guarantor shall maintain a minimum net worth of at least FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) prior to the second (2nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, following which Guarantor shall maintain a minimum net worth of at least ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00) prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date.
24.(g)
Representation and Warranty Insurance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 24.(g), at any time after final payments have been made for the post-closing adjustments described in Section 3.(g), Guarantor may substitute (or may cause Seller to substitute) representation and warranty insurance in a form and from an insurer acceptable to Purchaser in its sole discretion for a coverage amount of at least FIVE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($5,000,000.00) in place of the Guaranty prior to the second anniversary of the Closing and at least ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00) after the second (2nd) anniversary and prior to the third (3rd) anniversary of the Closing Date, and upon the effectiveness of such insurance coverage, the Guaranty shall terminate and be of no further force or effect; provided that Seller shall pay, and remain liable for, the cost of the premium and retention/deductible relating to any such insurance policy.
25.
SELLER REPRESENTATIVE.
25.(a)
Appointment. By executing this Agreement, each Seller shall have irrevocably authorized and appointed USIF II Seller (in such capacity, the "Seller Representative") as such Seller's representative and attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of such Seller with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein and therein and to take any and all actions and make any decisions required or permitted to be taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to this Agreement. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser may rely on any approval or decision made, or action taken by Seller Representative hereunder, without an

65



obligation or duty to investigate or determine the existence of any restrictions on Seller Representative's authority to act as set forth herein or otherwise make any inquiry as to Seller Representative's authority to act hereunder and bind each Seller.
25.(b)
Agency. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Seller Representative is not an agent of Seller, and shall have no duties to Seller or liability to Seller with respect to any action taken, decision made or instruction given by the Seller Representative in connection with this Agreement.
25.(c)
Indemnification of Seller Representative. The Seller Representative shall be indemnified by Seller for and shall be held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Seller Representative or any of its affiliates and any of their respective managers, directors, officers, employees, agents, members, partners, stockholders, consultants, attorneys, accountants, advisors, brokers, representatives or controlling persons, in each case, relating to the Seller Representative's conduct as Seller Representative, other than losses, liabilities or expenses that have been finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to result from the Seller Representative's fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct in connection with its performance under this Agreement. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Agreement. The Seller Representative may, in all questions arising under this Agreement, rely on the advice of counsel and for anything done, omitted or suffered in good faith by the Seller Representative in accordance with such advice, and the Seller Representative shall not be liable to Seller or any other person in connection therewith.
25.(d)
Expenses of the Seller Representative. To the extent the Seller Representative incurs out-of-pocket fees and expenses and indemnifications (including legal, accounting and other advisors' fees and expenses, if applicable) in performing its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Seller Representative shall be reimbursed by Seller.
25.(e)
Irrevocable Appointment. The appointment of the Seller Representative hereunder is irrevocable and any action taken by the Seller Representative pursuant to the authority granted in this Section 25 shall be effective and absolutely binding as the action of the Seller Representative under this Agreement.
