(d) During the period prior to Closing, the parties agree to reasonably cooperate and to consult on a regular basis and coordinate their activities relating to employee matters so as to facilitate a smooth transition of Property operations and the continued proper performance by the Employees and the Leased Employees of their respective duties up to Closing.
(e) The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall survive the Closing (and not be merged into the Ground Lease Assignment Agreement) or earlier termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 8.7. Termination of Hotel Management Agreement. (a) Seller shall provide evidence to Buyer that Seller has terminated the Hotel Management Agreement on the Closing Date, which evidence may include Hotel Manager entering into the New Management Agreement.
(b) For a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date, upon reasonable prior notice to Buyer and Hotel Manager, between 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. on weekdays, Seller or any Seller Party shall be entitled to enter the Property to perform Sellers obligations under the Hotel Management Agreement that expressly survive the termination thereof, including to verify the performance by Hotel Manager of any of its obligations under the Hotel Management Agreement that expressly survive the termination thereof; provided that Sellers or such Seller Partys entry onto the Property shall not unreasonably interfere with Buyers or Hotel Managers operation of the Hotel or the use or enjoyment thereof by any hotel guest or other occupant thereof.
SECTION 8.8. Books and Records. Buyer has advised Seller that Buyer (or any direct or indirect owner of Buyer or affiliate thereof) may be required to file, in compliance with certain laws and regulations (including, without limitation, Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission), audited financial statements, pro forma financial statements and other financial information related to the Property (the Financial Information). If requested by Buyer in writing within ninety (90) days following the Closing, Seller agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, at no cost or expense to Seller, to make available to Buyer information regarding the Property that is in Sellers actual possession and that is reasonably necessary for Buyer and its representatives and agents to prepare the Financial Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide any information concerning (a) Sellers confidential financial analyses or projections, prepared solely for Sellers internal purposes and not directly related to the operation of the Property, or (b) financial statements of any affiliate of Seller (other than Property-level financial statements). The provisions of this Section 8.8 shall survive the Closing and not be merged into the Ground Lease Assignment Agreement for a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing but shall be subject to the Floor Amount, Cap Amount and Survival Period.
SECTION 8.9. Reporting and Audit Under Ground Lease. Seller agrees to maintain all of its books, records and federal, state and local tax returns relating to its ownership and/or operation of the Property for not less than five (5) years after the expiration of each full or partial calendar year to which such books, records and tax returns relate. Seller shall, upon request by Buyer, furnish to Buyer true, complete and correct statements of all such books, records and tax returns and shall make complete books, records and tax returns available for inspection and audit by The Regents or its authorized representatives upon forty-eight (48) hours prior notice at any
36
time during normal business hours. Within twenty (20) days following the end of the calendar month in which the Closing Date occurs, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be prepared and provide to Buyer a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the amount of Room Revenues (as defined in the Ground Lease) accrued for the immediately preceding calendar month and year-to-date period. In addition, Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be prepared and provide to Buyer not later than March 31, 2017 the Annual Statement (as defined in the Ground Lease) for the calendar year 2016. In the event that The Regents exercises its right to audit any Annual Statement relating to calendar year 2016 or any prior year during Sellers ownership of the Property, Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to permit The Regents to complete such audit and shall be responsible for the payment of any amounts due to The Regents in connection with such audit of the Hotel, except to the extent that such amounts relate to any period on or after Closing. Seller shall be entitled to any overpayment of rent determined to have been made as a result of any such audit that relates to any period prior to Closing. The provisions of this Section 8.9 shall survive the Closing and shall not be merged into the Ground Lease Assignment Agreement provided that Buyer shall not have the right to recover any damages from Seller for Sellers failure to comply with this obligation and Buyers sole remedy shall be to seek declaratory relief.
SECTION 8.10. Repair Work. Seller and Buyer have discussed water infiltration, system leaks or other water related issues at the Property. At Closing, Seller shall deposit with Escrow Agent a portion of the Purchase Price equal to Two Hundred Forty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($240,000.00) (the Water Damage Escrow) to be held and disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms hereof. Within thirty (30) days following Closing, Buyer and Seller shall agree on the scope and cost of work to be performed. As part of such process, Buyer shall obtain two (2) third party bids from licensed contractors for the work to be performed which bids shall be presented to Seller for review. If Buyer and Seller, acting reasonably, cannot agree within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer shall select and engage one of US BCI, Wiss Janney Elstner or Simpson Gumpertz & Heger (the Consultant) to determine the appropriate cost and scope and the Consultants determination shall be binding. Thereafter, Buyer shall correct the condition(s) resulting in water infiltration and repair any damage related thereto as agreed by the parties or as determined by the Consultant (Repair Work). Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Water Damage Escrow of the reasonable, actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the performance of the Repair Work. Upon submission to Seller and the Escrow Agent of receipts, invoices or other reasonably detailed documentation evidencing the reasonable, actual out-of-pocket expenses (including Consultant fees, if any) incurred by Buyer to perform the Repair Work (or any portion thereof), Escrow Agent shall disburse funds from the Water Damage Escrow to or at the direction of Buyer in the amount set forth therein. Upon the sooner of the completion of the Repair Work or one hundred fifty (150) days following Closing, any remaining funds in the Water Damage Escrow shall be released to Seller. Any escrow fees incurred in connection with the Water Damage Escrow shall be shared equally by Buyer and Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, this Section 8.10 shall survive the Closing for one hundred fifty (150) days, shall not be merged into the Ground Lease Assignment Agreement and shall not be subject to the Floor Amount, Cap Amount and Survival Period; provided, however, that Seller shall have no liability related to the Repair Work in excess of the Water Damage Escrow.

FORM OF FIRPTA AFFIDAVIT
January , 2017
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a United States real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law), and not the disregarded entity, will be the transferor of the property. 173ODRE9 HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Transferor), is the direct owner of all of the beneficial interests in 173ODRE GL Owner, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (Seller). To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a United States real property interest by Seller, Transferor hereby certifies the following:
7. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations); and
8. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii) of the Internal Revenue Code; and
9. Transferors U.S. employer taxpayer identification number is ###-###-####; and
10. Transferors office address is 7121 Fairway Drive, Suite 410, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida 33418.
Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

A. The University and Seller are parties to that certain Ground Lease made as of August 8, 2008, as amended by the First Amendment to Ground Lease made as of June 15, 2012, as further amended by that certain Consent to Assignment and Assumption of and Amendment to Ground Lease Documents, dated as of June 30, 2014, between the University, Seller and University Hospitality Group, LLC (collectively, the Ground Lease), with respect to the construction and operation of that certain hotel (the Hotel) located at the Universitys Davis campus on the land more particularly described in Exhibit A (Leased Land) attached hereto and made a part hereof (together with the Hotel and other improvements located thereon, the Property). Any capitalized term used, but not defined, in this Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Ground Lease.
B. In connection with the Ground Lease, Seller and the University executed that certain (a) Campus Services Agreement concurrently with the Ground Lease dated as of August 18, 2008 (the Campus Services Agreement), (b) Infrastructure Agreement concurrently with the Ground Lease dated as of August 18, 2008 (the Infrastructure Agreement), and (c) Amended & Restated Employee Services Agreement dated as of July 30, 2012 (the Employee Services Agreement, together with the Ground Lease, the Campus Services Agreement and the Infrastructure Agreement, collectively, the Ground Lease Documents). The Ground Lease, the Campus Services Agreement and the Infrastructure Agreement are collectively referred to as the Assigned Ground Lease Documents.
C. Seller desires to assign, sell, transfer, set over and convey to Buyer, and its successors and assigns, of all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Ground Lease Documents, all pursuant to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of January , 2017 (as amended, the Purchase Agreement). The Purchase Agreement and the documents effectuating the sale of the Property and assignment of the Assigned Ground Lease Documents are collectively referred to herein as the Purchase Documents. The closing of the sale of the Property in accordance with the Purchase Agreement is referred to herein as the Closing.
D. The University is willing to consent to the assignment, sale, transfer, setting over and conveying by Seller of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Ground Lease Documents to Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Documents, and is willing to amend the Ground Lease as set forth in this Agreement, all in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, and for valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree hereby as follows:
1. Consent to Assignment. Pursuant to Section 23.1 of the Ground Lease, the University consents to the assignment, sale, transfer, setting over and conveying by Seller of all of its right, title and interest in and to the Assigned Ground Lease Documents to Buyer pursuant to the Purchase Documents and recognizes Buyer as Sellers successor-in-interest as the Tenant under the Ground Lease for all purposes under the Ground Lease Documents and Buyer covenants for the benefit of the University that
K-2
from and after the Closing, the Lease shall be faithfully performed, including, without limitations the covenant to pay to University all Rent (including Percentage Rent) as and when due as contemplated by the provisions of Section 3 of the Lease. Seller shall reimburse the University at Closing for Universitys Reimbursed Transaction Expenses as set forth in Section 3.12 of the Ground Lease in the amount of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) which shall be paid through escrow.
2. Operating Lease. Tenant represents to the University that Tenants indirect owner is a real estate investment trust (the REIT) and, as such, Tenant shall enter into a sub-ground lease (the Affiliate Sub-Ground Lease) of the Property with another subsidiary of the REIT (the Affiliate Sublessee) and Affiliate Sublessee will enter into the management agreement with Inn Ventures (as referenced below). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Ground Lease, including, without limitation, Section 23 thereof, Tenant shall have the right, without Landlords consent, to enter into the Sub-Ground Lease with the Affiliate Sublessee, provided, however, nothing in the foregoing shall relieve Tenant in any respect from any liability or obligation under the Ground Lease.
3. Hotel Management. University acknowledges that the Affiliate Sublessee under the Affiliate Sub-Ground Lease has entered into an agreement with INNVENTURES IVI, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (Inn Ventures), the current Operator, to continue to manage the Hotel following Closing. Pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Ground Lease, the University consents to the engagement of Inn Ventures as third party operator of the Hotel, and agrees that Inn Ventures shall continue to constitute the Operator for all purposes under the Ground Lease Documents.
4. Employee Services Agreement. In connection with the acquisition of the Property by Seller, Operator, on Sellers behalf, assumed the Employee Services Agreement by written assignment from the prior owner. Following Closing, Operator will continue as the counterparty to the Employee Services Agreement. Following Closing, Buyer agrees to cause any successor employer of the Hotel employees to assume the Employee Services Agreement and that any failure by Buyer, Operator or any permitted successor or assign (collectively, Employee Services Agreement Party) to perform or comply with any term or covenant of the Employee Services Agreement shall constitute a default by Tenant under the Ground Lease if such failure continues for a period of ninety (90) days after written notice thereof by University to an Employee Services Agreement Party, provided that Buyer shall have the right to cure such default by replacing Operator or any permitted successor or assign with a replacement Operator under the Ground Lease that is acceptable to University during such ninety (90) day period.
5. Assignment. Section 23.1 of the Ground Lease is hereby amended to include the following as the last sentence:
Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to contrary contained in this Lease, Landlords prior written consent shall not be required for: (a) transfers of direct or indirect membership, partnership or other interests in Tenant, or the issuance of new direct or indirect membership, partnership or other interests in Tenant, so long as Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. continues to control Tenant (either directly or through one or more subsidiaries); (b) any transfer, redemption or issuance of stock in Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc.; (c) any transfer to a successor corporation or other entity resulting from a merger or consolidation of Tenant or a parent company of Tenant (including, without limitation, Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. or BREIT Operating Partnership, L.P.); (d) the entering into by Tenant and the Affiliate Sublessee of the Affiliate Sub-Ground Lease.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the amendment contained in this Section 4 is personal to Buyer and any permitted transferees in connection with the permitted transfers described in this Section 4.
K-3
