     AGREEMENT AND PLAN OF MERGER (this “Agreement”), dated as of June 29, 2006, by and among Corporate Property Associates 14 Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (“CPA:14”), Corporate Property Associates 12 Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (“CPA:12”), CPA 14 Acquisition Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Acquisition”), CPI Holdings Incorporated, a Maryland corporation (“Holdings”) and CPA 12 Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Merger Sub”).
RECITALS
     A. Holdings, Acquisition, Merger Sub, CPA:12 and CPA:14 intend to, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, merge CPA:12 with and into CPA:14, with CPA:14 continuing as the surviving entity in the merger (the “Merger”).
     B. This Agreement has been approved by the respective boards of directors of CPA:12, CPA:14, Merger Sub, Holdings and Acquisition.
     C. For U.S. federal income Tax purposes, it is intended that (a) the Merger shall qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (b) this Agreement constitutes, and is hereby adopted as, a plan of reorganization within the meaning of Section 354 of the Code, and (c) CPA:14 and CPA:12 will each be a party to such reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code.
     D. In the event CPA:14 and CPA:12 do not receive opinions of counsel that the Merger will qualify as a reorganization under the Code, (i) Merger Sub will be merged with and into CPA:12 whereupon CPA:12 will be the surviving company and Merger Sub will cease to exist and (ii) Acquisition will be merged with and into CPA:14 whereupon CPA:14 will be the surviving company and Acquisition will cease to exist (together, the “Alternate Merger”).
     E. Prior to the Merger, CPA:12 intends (a) to sell the assets listed on Annex A to W. P. Carey & Co. LLC in exchange for cash and the assumption of debt (the “Sale of Assets”) pursuant to an Agreement for Sale and Purchase between the parties dated as of June 29, 2006 (the “Sale Agreement”), in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A, and (b) to make a pro rata special distribution to the CPA:12 Stockholders of (i) the initial proceeds of the Sale of Assets and (ii) the right to receive the additional consideration contemplated by Section 6 of the Sale Agreement (collectively, the “Special Distribution”).
     F. As a condition and inducement to the willingness of CPA:14 to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated hereby, CPA:14 has required Carey Asset Management Corp. to enter into an indemnification agreement, of even date herewith (the “Indemnification Agreement”), in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit B.
     G. The parties desire to make certain representations, warranties and agreements in connection with the Merger.
AGREEMENT
     In consideration of the premises and the mutual representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

-2-

 

ARTICLE I
THE MERGER
     Section 1.1. The Merger. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in accordance with Section 3-114 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) and subject to the applicability of Article X, CPA:12 shall be merged with and into CPA:14, with CPA:14 being the surviving entity (the “Surviving Company”).
     Section 1.2. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the Merger will take place commencing at 10:00 a.m., local time, on a date to be specified by the parties, which shall be no later than the third business day after satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article V (the “Closing Date”), at the offices of Clifford Chance US LLP, 31 West 52nd Street, New York, New York 10019, unless another date or place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto.
     Section 1.3. Effective Time. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, as part of the Closing CPA:12 and CPA:14 shall execute Articles of Merger ( the “Articles of Merger”) in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C and shall file such Articles of Merger in accordance with the MGCL with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland and shall make all other filings and recordings required under such statute with respect to the Merger. The Merger shall become effective (the “Effective Time”) at such times as CPA:12 and CPA:14 shall agree should be specified in the Articles of Merger; provided, that such time does not exceed 30 days after the Articles of Merger are accepted for record. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties shall cause the Effective Time to occur on the Closing Date.
     Section 1.4. Charter and Bylaws. The CPA:14 Charter and CPA:14 Bylaws as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, shall, except for any required amendments, continue in full force and effect after the Merger as the charter and bylaws of the Surviving Company, until further amended in accordance with the respective terms of such charter and bylaws and applicable Maryland Law.
     Section 1.5. Merger Consideration.
     (a) By virtue of the Merger and without any further action on the part of CPA:12, CPA:14, or any stockholder of CPA:12 (the “CPA:12 Stockholders”), each share of CPA:12’s common stock, $.001 par value per share (“CPA:12 Common Stock”), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and, in exchange for cancellation of such share, the rights attaching to such share shall be converted into the right to receive, at the election of each CPA:12 Stockholder, either: (i) subject to the application of Article X, that number of shares of CPA:14’s common stock, $.001 par value per share (“CPA:14 Common Stock”) equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of CPA:12 Common Stock owned by such CPA:12 Stockholder and (B) 0.8692 (the “Common Stock Exchange Ratio”) together with any cash in lieu of fractional shares; or (ii) an amount of cash equal to the product of (A) the number of shares of CPA:12 Common Stock owned by such CPA:12 Stockholder and (B) $10.30 (the “Cash Exchange Ratio”) (the “Merger Consideration”). CPA:12 Stockholders must make their election at the time they cast their vote either in favor of or against the Merger and such election may be revoked as set forth in the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus (as defined herein). CPA:12 Stockholders who do not vote with respect to the Merger or who abstain from voting with respect to the Merger will be deemed to have elected to receive CPA:14 Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5(a)(i) above.
     (b) At the Effective Time, all shares of CPA:12 Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be canceled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of CPA:12

-2-

 

Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except the right to receive the Merger Consideration described above.
     (c) In the event counsels to CPA:12 and CPA:14 are unable to deliver the opinions set forth in Sections 5.2(f) and 5.3(f), respectively, that the transaction described in Section 1.1 through Section 1.5 will qualify as a reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code (the “Reorganization Opinions”), then, in addition to the transactions contemplated by Section 1.1 through Section 1.5, the provisions of Article X shall apply. The provisions of Article X shall apply if and only if counsels to CPA:12 and CPA:14 are unable to deliver the Reorganization Opinions.
     Section 1.6. Dissenters Rights.
     (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent that the right to demand payment of fair value of the CPA:12 Common Stock in connection with the Merger is available under the MGCL, any outstanding shares of CPA:12 Common Stock (“Dissenting Shares”) held by a Dissenting Stockholder shall not be converted into the Merger Consideration but shall become the right to receive such consideration as may be determined to be due to such Dissenting Stockholder pursuant to the MGCL; provided, however, that each share of CPA:12 Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time and held by a Dissenting Stockholder who, after the Effective Time, withdraws his demand or fails to perfect or otherwise loses his right to receive payment of fair value, pursuant to the MGCL, shall be deemed to be converted as of the Effective Time into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, in the form of CPA:14 Common Stock, without interest. As used in this Agreement, “Dissenting Stockholder” means any record holder or beneficial owner of shares of CPA:12 Common Stock who is entitled to demand and receive payment of the fair value of such holder’s shares pursuant to Section 3-202 of the MGCL and who does not vote for the Merger and complies with all provisions of the MGCL (including all provisions of Section 3-203 of the MGCL) concerning the right of holders of shares of CPA:12 Common Stock to object to the Merger and obtain fair value for their shares.
     (b) CPA:12 shall give CPA:14 (i) prompt notice of any demands for payment of fair value pursuant to the applicable provisions of the MGCL received by CPA:12, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the MGCL and received by CPA:12 relating to rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for payment of fair value under the MGCL. CPA:12 shall not, except with the prior written consent of CPA:14, make any payment with respect to any such demands for payment of fair value, or settle, or offer to settle, or otherwise negotiate any such demands for payment of fair value.
     Section 1.7. Adjustments to Common Stock Ratio and Cash Exchange Ratio. The Common Stock Ratio and Cash Exchange Ratio shall be adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any reclassification, combination, subdivision, share split, reverse split, share dividend (including any share dividend or distribution of securities convertible into CPA:12 Common Stock), reorganization, recapitalization or other like change with respect to CPA:12 Common Stock (or for which a record date is established) after the date hereof and prior to the Effective Time.
     Section 1.8. Recordation of Exchange; Payment of Merger Consideration.
     (a) Delivery of CPA:14 Common Stock. As soon as practicable following the Effective Time, CPA:14 shall cause the transfer agent for the CPA:14 Common Stock to record the transfer on the stock records of CPA:14 the amount of CPA:14 Common Stock issuable as Merger Consideration to each

-3-

 

holder of CPA:12 Common Stock pursuant to proper election made by such holder pursuant to Section 1.5(a).
     (b) Paying Agent and Exchange Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, CPA:14 shall designate a bank or trust company reasonably acceptable to CPA:12 to act as agent for the payment of the Merger Consideration (the “Paying and Exchange Agent”). CPA:14 shall take all steps necessary to enable, and shall cause, the Surviving Company to provide to the Paying and Exchange Agent immediately following the Effective Time the cash portion of the Merger Consideration payable upon cancellation of the CPA:12 Common Stock pursuant to Section 1.5. The funds deposited with the Paying and Exchange Agent in respect of the Merger Consideration is hereinafter referred to as the “Exchange Fund.” As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the Paying and Exchange Agent shall pay to each holder of CPA:12 Common Stock the amount of cash such holder is entitled to receive pursuant to proper election made by such holder pursuant to Section 1.5(a).
     (c) No Interest. No interest shall be paid or shall accrue on the Merger Consideration, or unpaid dividends declared in respect of the CPA:12 Common Stock and with a record date prior to the Effective Time and which remain unpaid at the Effective Time.
     (d) No Further Ownership Rights. All Merger Consideration paid by CPA:14 in accordance with the terms of this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to the CPA:12 Common Stock in respect of which such Merger Consideration was paid. At the close of business on the day on which the Effective Time occurs, the share transfer books of CPA:12 shall be closed, and there shall be no further registration of transfers on the share transfer books of the Surviving Company of the shares of CPA:12 Common Stock that were outstanding, immediately prior to the Effective Time.
     (e) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of CPA:12 Common Stock one year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to CPA:14 or its designated Affiliate, upon demand, and any holder of CPA:12 Common Stock who has not theretofore complied with this Article I shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Company or its successor in interest for payment of its claim for Merger Consideration.
     (f) No Liability. Neither CPA:14 nor the Surviving Company shall be liable to any person for any part of the Merger Consideration or for dividends or distributions with respect thereto delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any such shares five years after the Effective Time or at such earlier date as is immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Federal, state, local government, or agency or any court, regulatory or administrative agency or commission or other governmental authority or instrumentality, domestic or foreign (a “Governmental Entity”), shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of CPA:14 or its designated Affiliate free and clear of any claims or interest of any such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.
     (g) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying and Exchange Agent shall invest any cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by CPA:14, on a daily basis; provided, however, that such investments shall be in (i) obligations of or guaranteed by the United States of America and backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America, (ii) commercial paper obligations rated A-1 or P-1 or better by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or Standard & Poor’s Corporation, respectively, (iii) certificates of deposit maturing not more than 180 days after the date of purchase issued by a bank organized under the Laws of the United States or any state thereof having a combined capital and surplus of at least $3,000,000,000 or (iv) a money market fund having assets of at least $500,000,000. Any interest and

-4-

 

other income resulting from such investments shall be the property of, and paid to, CPA:14 or its designated Affiliate.
     (h) Withholding Rights. The Surviving Company or the Paying and Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of CPA:12 Common Stock, such amounts as it is required to withhold with respect to such payments under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any such amounts so withheld shall be paid over to the applicable Governmental Entity in accordance with applicable Law and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the former holder of a Certificate with respect to which such deduction and withholding was made.
     (i) Fractional Shares. No certificates for fractional shares of CPA:14 Common Stock shall be issued hereunder. To the extent that a holder of CPA:12 Common Stock would otherwise be entitled to receive a fraction of a share of CPA:14 Common Stock, computed on the basis of the aggregate number of shares of CPA:12 Common Stock held by such holder, such holder shall instead receive a cash payment in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by $10.30.
     (j) Directors. Unless otherwise determined by the parties, the directors of CPA:12 and the directors of CPA:14 immediately prior to the Effective Time shall together be the directors of the Surviving Company, until duly removed or replaced in accordance with the Bylaws of the Surviving Company and the MGCL.

     (e) SEC Documents.
          (i) CPA:12 has made available to CPA:14 (by public filing with the SEC or otherwise) a true and complete copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and definitive proxy statement filed by CPA:12 with the SEC since January 1, 2003 (the “CPA:12 SEC Documents”) which are all of the documents required to have been filed by CPA:12 with the SEC since that date. As of their respective dates, the CPA:12 SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), the Exchange Act or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “SOX Act”), as the case may be, and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder applicable to such CPA:12 SEC Documents and none of the CPA:12 SEC Documents contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, except to the extent such statements have been modified or superseded by later CPA:12 SEC Documents filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement. CPA:12 does not have any outstanding and unresolved comments from the SEC with respect to the CPA:12 SEC Documents. The consolidated financial statements of CPA:12 and CPA:12 Subsidiaries included in the CPA:12 SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with the applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto, or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as permitted by Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act) and fairly presented, in accordance with applicable requirements of GAAP and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (subject, in the case of the unaudited statements, to normal, recurring adjustments, none of which are material), the consolidated financial position of CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, as of their respective dates and the consolidated statements of income and the consolidated cash flows of CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries for the periods presented therein, in each case, except to the extent such financial statements have been modified or superseded by later CPA:12 SEC Documents filed and publicly available prior to the date of this Agreement. No CPA:12 Subsidiary is required to make any filing with the SEC.

-8-

 

specific authorizations, (ii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iii) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.
          (iii) CPA:12’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act) are reasonably designed to ensure that (A) all information (both financial and non-financial) required to be disclosed by CPA:12 in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (B) all such information is accumulated and communicated to CPA:12’s management as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure and to make the certifications of the principal executive officer and principal financial officer of CPA:12 required under the Exchange Act with respect to such reports.
          (iv) Since December 31, 2005, CPA:12 has not received any notification of (A) a “significant deficiency” or (B) a “material weakness” in CPA:12’s internal controls. For purposes of this Agreement, the terms “significant deficiency” and “material weakness” shall have the meanings assigned to them in Release 2004-001 of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, as in effect on the date of this Agreement.
     (f) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed or reflected in the CPA:12 SEC Documents filed with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement or as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(f) of the CPA:12 Disclosure Letter, since December 31, 2005 there has not been: (i) (A) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, shares or property) with respect to any of CPA:12’s capital stock except for regular quarterly dividends on the CPA:12 Common Stock; (B) any amendment of any term of any outstanding equity security of CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary; (C) any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary of any outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of, or other ownership interests in, CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary, except pursuant to CPA:12’s regular redemption program; (D) any change in any method of accounting or accounting practice or any Tax method, practice or election by CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary that would materially adversely affect its assets, liabilities or business, except insofar as may have been required by a change in applicable Law or GAAP; (E) any CPA:12 Material Adverse Effect or (F) any incurrence, assumption or guarantee by CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary of any indebtedness for borrowed money other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

     (i) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except for environmental matters, which are addressed in Section 2.1(o), CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary for the lawful conduct of their respective businesses (the “CPA:12 Permits”), except where the failure so to hold such CPA:12 Permits, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:12 Material Adverse Effect. CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of the CPA:12 Permits, except where the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:12 Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the CPA:12 SEC Documents, the businesses of CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries are not being conducted in violation of any Law, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:12 Material Adverse Effect. No investigation or review by any Governmental Entity with respect to CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary is pending or, to CPA:12’s Knowledge, threatened, other than those the outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:12 Material Adverse Effect.
     (j) Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.1(j) of the CPA:12 Disclosure Letter or the CPA:12 SEC Documents, there is no suit, action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of CPA:12, threatened against or affecting CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a CPA:12 Material Adverse Effect or materially adversely affect the right or ability of CPA:14 or its Affiliates to own and operate the business and assets of CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary.
     (k) Taxes. (i) Each of CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries has timely filed all material Tax Returns (as defined herein) required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any valid extension to file). Each such Tax Return is true, correct and complete in all material respects. CPA:12 and each CPA:12 Subsidiary has paid (or CPA:12 has paid on its behalf), all material Taxes required to be paid.

The most recent audited

-10-

 

financial statements contained in the CPA:12 SEC Documents filed with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement reflect an adequate reserve in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes payable by CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. CPA:12 and each CPA:12 Subsidiary has established (and until the Closing Date shall continue to establish and maintain) on its books and records reserves that are adequate for the payment of all material Taxes not yet due and payable. Since December 31, 2005, CPA:12 has incurred no liability for any material Taxes under Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code, IRS Notice 88-19, Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-5, or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 including, without limitation, any material Tax arising from a prohibited transaction described in Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, and neither CPA:12 nor any of the CPA:12 Subsidiaries has incurred any material liability for Taxes other than in the ordinary course of business and other than transfer or similar Taxes arising in connection with the sales of property. No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a material risk that any material Tax described in the preceding sentences will be imposed upon CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary. Neither CPA:12 nor any CPA:12 Subsidiary is the subject of any audit, examination, or other proceeding in respect of Federal income Taxes; to the Knowledge of CPA:12, no audit, examination or other proceeding in respect of Federal income Taxes involving CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary is being considered by any Tax authority; and no audit, examination or proceeding in respect of Federal income Taxes involving CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary has occurred since December 31, 2000. No deficiencies for any Taxes have been asserted or assessed in writing (or to the Knowledge of CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary, proposed) against CPA:12 or any of the CPA:12 Subsidiaries, including claims by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction where CPA:12 or any CPA:12 Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns but in which any of them is or may be subject to taxation, which individually or in the aggregate would be material, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes have been granted and remain in effect or are pending. There are no Liens for Taxes upon the assets of CPA:12 or the CPA:12 Subsidiaries except for statutory Liens for Taxes not yet due or payable and, for which appropriate reserves have been established on their respective financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
          (ii) CPA:12 (A) for each taxable year beginning with its taxable year ended on December 31, 1994, has been subject to taxation as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) within the meaning of the Code and has satisfied the requirements to qualify as a REIT for such years, (B) has operated, and intends to continue to operate, consistent with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT through the Effective Time and (C) has not taken or omitted to take any action which could reasonably be expected to result in the loss of its qualification as a REIT, and no such challenge is pending, or to CPA:12’s Knowledge, threatened. Each CPA:12 Subsidiary which is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company has since its acquisition by CPA:12 (A) been classified for Federal income Tax purposes as a partnership or treated as a disregarded entity and not as an association taxable as a corporation, or a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, and (B) not owned any assets (including, without limitation, securities) that would cause CPA:12 to violate Section 856(c)(4) of the Code. Each CPA:12 Subsidiary which is a corporation, and each other issuer of securities in which CPA:12 holds securities (within the meaning of Section 856(c) of the Code but excluding “straight debt” of issuers as described in Section 856(c)(7) of the Code) having a value of more than 10 percent of the total value of the outstanding securities of such issuer, has since its acquisition by CPA:12 been a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary under Section 856(i) of the Code or a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Code or otherwise qualified as a “real estate asset” within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code. Neither CPA:12 nor any CPA:12 Subsidiary holds any asset (x) the disposition of which would be subject to rules similar to Section 1374 of the Code as announced in IRS Notice 88-19 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-5 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 or (y) that is subject to a consent filed pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.

          (iii) As of the date of this Agreement, CPA:12 does not have any earnings and profits attributable to CPA:12 or any other corporation in any non-REIT year within the meaning of Section 857 of the Code.
          (iv) None of CPA:12 or any of the CPA:12 Subsidiaries is (i) subject, directly or indirectly, to any Tax Protection Agreement or (ii) in violation of or in default under any Tax Protection Agreement.
          (v) As of the date hereof, CPA:12 is a “domestically-controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h) of the Code.
          (vi) Neither CPA:12 nor any CPA:12 Subsidiary is a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or has changed any method of accounting for Tax purposes.
          (vii) CPA:12 does not have any liability for the Taxes of any person other than CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries do not have any liability for the Taxes of any person other than CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries (A) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), (B) as a transferee or successor, (C) by contract or (D) otherwise.
          (viii) Neither CPA:12 nor any CPA 12 Subsidiary (x) has requested, received or is subject to any written ruling of a Governmental Entity related to Taxes or has entered into any written and legally binding agreement with a Governmental Entity relating to Taxes or (y) has engaged in any transaction of which it has made (or was required to make) disclosure to any Governmental Entity to avoid the imposition of any penalties related to Taxes.
     (l) Pension and Benefit Plans. Except as set forth in the CPA:12 SEC Documents, neither CPA:12 nor any CPA:12 Subsidiary maintains or has maintained any Employee Benefit Plans or has any obligations or liabilities in respect of Employee Benefit Plans. CPA:12 has no employees. None of the agreements to which CPA:12 or any of the CPA:12 Subsidiaries is a party, would, individually or in the aggregate, constitute excess parachute payments (as defined in Section 280G of the Code (without regard to subsection (b)(4) thereof)) or would exceed the amount deductible pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.
     (m) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by CPA:12 in writing for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will (a) in the case of the Form S-4, at the time it becomes effective, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading or (b) in the case of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, at the time of the mailing thereof or at the time the CPA:12 Stockholder Meeting is to be held, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will (with respect to CPA:12, its officers, directors and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries) comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; provided, that no representation is made as to statements made or incorporated by reference by CPA:14.
     (n) Intangible Property. CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries own, possess or have adequate rights to use all trademarks, trade names, patents, service marks, brand marks, brand names, computer programs, databases, industrial designs and copyrights necessary for the operation of the businesses of each of CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries (collectively, the “CPA:12 Intangible Property”), except

-12-

     (e) Absence of Certain Changes or Events. Except as disclosed or reflected in the CPA:14 SEC Documents filed with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement or as disclosed in Schedule 2.2(e) of the CPA:14 Disclosure Letter, since December 31, 2005 there has not been: (i) (A) any declaration, setting aside or payment of any dividend or other distribution (whether in cash, shares or property) with respect to any of CPA:14’s capital stock except for regular quarterly dividends on the CPA:14 Common Stock; (B) any amendment of any term of any outstanding equity security of CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary; (C) any repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary of any outstanding shares of capital stock or other equity securities of, or other ownership interests in, CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary, except pursuant to CPA:14’s regular redemption program; (D) any change in any method of accounting or accounting practice or any Tax method, practice or election by CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary that would materially adversely affect its assets, liabilities or business, except insofar as may have been required by a change in applicable Law or GAAP; (E) any CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect or (F) any incurrence, assumption or guarantee by CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary of any indebtedness for borrowed money other than in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

     (g) No Default.

     (h) Compliance with Applicable Laws. Except for environmental matters, which are addressed in Section 2.2(n), CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries hold all permits, licenses, variances, exemptions, orders and approvals of all Governmental Entities necessary for the lawful conduct of their respective businesses (the “CPA:14 Permits”), except where the failure so to hold such CPA:14 Permits, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect. CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries are in compliance with the terms of the CPA:14 Permits, except where the failure to so comply, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect. Except as disclosed in the CPA:14 SEC Documents, the businesses of CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries are not being conducted in violation of any Law, except for violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect.

the outcome of which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect.
     (i) Litigation. Except as disclosed in Schedule 2.2(i) of the CPA:14 Disclosure Letter or the CPA:14 SEC Documents, there is no suit, action or proceeding pending or, to the Knowledge of CPA:14, threatened against or affecting CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary or any of their respective properties or assets that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect.
     (j) Taxes. (i) Each of CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries has timely filed all material Tax Returns (as defined herein) required to be filed by it (after giving effect to any valid extension to file). Each such Tax Return is true, correct and complete in all material respects. CPA:14 and each CPA:14 Subsidiary has paid (or CPA:14 has paid on its behalf), all material Taxes required to be paid. All material Taxes which CPA:14 or the CPA:14 Subsidiaries are required by Law to withhold or collect, including Taxes required to have been withheld in connection with amounts paid or owing to any employee, independent contractor, creditor, shareholder or other third party and sales, gross receipts and use Taxes, have been duly withheld or collected and, to the extent required, have been paid over to the proper Governmental Entities within the time period prescribed by Law. The most recent audited financial statements contained in the CPA:14 SEC Documents filed with the SEC prior to the date of this Agreement reflect an adequate reserve in accordance with GAAP for all material Taxes payable by CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries for all taxable periods and portions thereof through the date of such financial statements. CPA:14 and each CPA:14 Subsidiary has established (and until the Closing Date shall continue to establish and maintain) on its books and records reserves that are adequate for the payment of all material Taxes not yet due and payable. Since December 31, 2005, CPA:14 has incurred no liability for any material Taxes under Sections 857(b), 860(c) or 4981 of the Code, IRS Notice 88-19, Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-5, or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 including, without limitation, any material Tax arising from a prohibited transaction described in Section 857(b)(6) of the Code, and neither CPA:14 nor any of the CPA:14 Subsidiaries has incurred any material liability for Taxes other than in the ordinary course of business and other than transfer or similar Taxes arising in connection with the sales of property. No event has occurred, and no condition or circumstance exists, which presents a material risk that any material Tax described in the preceding sentences will be imposed upon CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary. Neither CPA:14 nor any CPA:14 Subsidiary is the subject of any audit, examination, or other proceeding in respect of Federal income Taxes; to the Knowledge of CPA:14, no audit, examination or other proceeding in respect of Federal income Taxes involving CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary is being considered by any Tax authority; and no audit, examination or proceeding in respect of Federal income Taxes involving CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary has occurred since December 31, 2000. No deficiencies for any Taxes have been asserted or assessed in writing (or to the Knowledge of CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary, proposed) against CPA:14 or any of the CPA:14 Subsidiaries, including claims by any taxing authority in a jurisdiction where CPA:14 or any CPA:14 Subsidiary does not file Tax Returns but in which any of them is or may be subject to taxation, which individually or in the aggregate would be material, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes have been granted and remain in effect or are pending. There are no Liens for Taxes upon the assets of CPA:14 or the CPA:14 Subsidiaries except for statutory Liens for Taxes not yet due or payable and, for which appropriate reserves have been established on their respective financial statements in accordance with GAAP.
          (ii) CPA:14 (A) for each taxable year beginning with its taxable year ended on December 31, 1998, has been subject to taxation as a REIT within the meaning of the Code and has satisfied the requirements to qualify as a REIT for such years, (B) has operated, and intends to continue to operate, consistent with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT through the Effective Time and (C) has not taken or omitted to take any action which could reasonably be expected to result in

-22-

 

the loss of its qualification as a REIT, and no such challenge is pending, or to CPA:14’s Knowledge, threatened. Each CPA:14 Subsidiary which is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company has since its acquisition by CPA:14 (A) been classified for Federal income Tax purposes as a partnership or treated as a disregarded entity and not as an association taxable as a corporation, or a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, and (B) not owned any assets (including, without limitation, securities) that would cause CPA:14 to violate Section 856(c)(4) of the Code. Each CPA:14 Subsidiary which is a corporation, and each other issuer of securities in which CPA:14 holds securities (within the meaning of Section 856(c) of the Code but excluding “straight debt” of issuers as described in Section 856(c)(7) of the Code) having a value of more than 10 percent of the total value of the outstanding securities of such issuer, has since its acquisition by CPA:14 been a REIT, a qualified REIT subsidiary under Section 856(i) of the Code or a taxable REIT subsidiary under Section 856(l) of the Code or otherwise qualified as a “real estate asset” within the meaning of Section 856(c)(5)(B) of the Code. Neither CPA:14 nor any CPA:14 Subsidiary holds any asset (x) the disposition of which would be subject to rules similar to Section 1374 of the Code as announced in IRS Notice 88-19 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-5 or Treasury Regulation Section 1.337(d)-6 or (y) that is subject to a consent filed pursuant to Section 341(f) of the Code and the regulations thereunder.
          (iii) As of the date of this Agreement, CPA:14 does not have any earnings and profits attributable to CPA:14 or any other corporation in any non-REIT year within the meaning of Section 857 of the Code.
          (iv) None of CPA:14 or any of the CPA:14 Subsidiaries is (i) subject, directly or indirectly, to any Tax Protection Agreement or (ii) in violation of or in default under any Tax Protection Agreement.
          (v) As of the date hereof, CPA:14 is a “domestically-controlled qualified investment entity” within the meaning of Section 897(h) of the Code.
          (vi) Neither CPA:14 nor any CPA:14 Subsidiary is a party to any Tax allocation or sharing agreement or has changed any method of accounting for Tax purposes.
          (vii) CPA:14 does not have any liability for the Taxes of any person other than CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries do not have any liability for the Taxes of any person other than CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries (A) under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1502-6 (or any similar provision of state, local or foreign Law), (B) as a transferee or successor, (C) by contract or (D) otherwise.
          (viii) Neither CPA:14 nor any CPA 12 Subsidiary (x) has requested, received or is subject to any written ruling of a Governmental Entity related to Taxes or has entered into any written and legally binding agreement with a Governmental Entity relating to Taxes or (y) has engaged in any transaction of which it has made (or was required to make) disclosure to any Governmental Entity to avoid the imposition of any penalties related to Taxes.
     (k) Pension and Benefit Plans. Except as set forth in the CPA:14 SEC Documents, neither CPA:14 nor any CPA:14 Subsidiary maintains or has maintained any Employee Benefit Plans or has any obligations or liabilities in respect of Employee Benefit Plans. CPA:14 has no employees. None of the agreements to which CPA:14 or any of the CPA:14 Subsidiaries is a party, would, individually or in the aggregate, constitute excess parachute payments (as defined in Section 280G of the Code (without regard to subsection (b)(4) thereof)) or would exceed the amount deductible pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code.

-23-

 

     (l) Information Supplied. None of the information supplied or to be supplied by CPA:14 in writing for inclusion or incorporation by reference in the Form S-4 or the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will (a) in the case of the Form S-4, at the time it becomes effective, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading or (b) in the case of the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus, at the time of the mailing thereof or at the time the CPA:14 Stockholder Meeting is to be held, contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. The Form S-4 and the Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus will (with respect to CPA:14, its officers, directors and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries) comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; provided, that no representation is made as to statements made or incorporated by reference by CPA:12.
     (m) Intangible Property. CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries own, possess or have adequate rights to use all trademarks, trade names, patents, service marks, brand marks, brand names, computer programs, databases, industrial designs and copyrights necessary for the operation of the businesses of each of CPA:14 and the CPA:14 Subsidiaries (collectively, the “CPA:14 Intangible Property”), except where the failure to possess or have adequate rights to use such properties, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect. All of the CPA:14 Intangible Property is owned or licensed by CPA:14 or the CPA:14 Subsidiaries free and clear of any and all Liens, except those that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect, and neither CPA:14 nor any such CPA:14 Subsidiary has forfeited or otherwise relinquished any CPA:14 Intangible Property which forfeiture has resulted in, individually or in the aggregate, or would reasonably be expected to result in a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect. To the Knowledge of CPA:14, the use of CPA:14 Intangible Property by CPA:14 or the CPA:14 Subsidiaries does not in any material respect, conflict with, infringe upon, violate or interfere with or constitute an appropriation of any right, title, interest or goodwill, including, without limitation, any intellectual property right, trademark, trade name, patent, service mark, brand mark, brand name, computer program, database, industrial design, copyright or any pending application therefor, of any other Person, and there have been no claims made, and neither CPA:14 nor any of the CPA:14 Subsidiaries has received any notice of any claim or otherwise knows that any of the CPA:14 Intangible Property is invalid or conflicts with the asserted rights of any other Person or has not been used or enforced or has failed to have been used or enforced in a manner that would result in the abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability of any of the CPA:14 Intangible Property, except for any such conflict, infringement, violation, interference, claim, invalidity, abandonment, cancellation or unenforceability that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a CPA:14 Material Adverse Effect.

Any Indemnified Party wishing to claim indemnification under this Section 4.7, upon learning of any such claim, action, suit, demand, proceeding or investigation, shall notify CPA:12 and, after the Effective Time, the Surviving Company and CPA:14, promptly thereof; provided that the failure to so notify shall not affect the obligations of CPA:12, the Surviving Company and CPA:14 except to the extent such failure to notify materially prejudices such party.
     (b) CPA:14 agrees that it shall maintain in full force and effect for a period of six years from the Effective Time all rights to indemnification existing in favor of, and all limitations of the personal liability of, the directors and officers of CPA:12 and the CPA:12 Subsidiaries provided for in the CPA:12 Charter or CPA:12 Bylaws or any provision of the comparable charter or organizational documents of any of the CPA:12 Subsidiaries, as in effect as of the date hereof, with respect to matters occurring prior to the Effective Time, including the Merger; provided, however, that all rights to indemnification in respect of any claims (each a “Claim”) asserted or made within such period shall continue until the disposition of such Claim. Prior to the Effective Time, CPA:14 shall purchase directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage for CPA:12’s directors and officers, in a form reasonably acceptable to CPA:12, which shall provide such directors and officers with runoff coverage for six years following the Effective Time of not less than the existing coverage under, and have other terms not materially less favorable on the whole to the insured persons than, the directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage presently maintained by CPA:12.
     (c) This Section 4.7 is intended for the irrevocable benefit of, and to grant third party rights to, the Indemnified Parties and shall be binding on all successors and assigns of CPA:14, CPA:12 and the

     Section 4.8. Purchases and Redemptions of CPA:12 Common Stock. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time of the Merger, each of CPA:14 and CPA:12 agrees that it will not purchase, redeem or otherwise acquire any CPA:12 Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any CPA:12 Subsidiary or any options, warrants or rights to acquire, or security convertible into, shares of CPA:12 Common Stock or stock or other equity interests in any CPA:12 Subsidiary.
     Section 4.9. Access; Confidentiality. To the extent applicable, CPA 12 and CPA 14 agree that upon reasonable notice, and except as may otherwise be required or restricted by applicable Law, each shall (and shall cause its Subsidiaries to) afford the other’s officers, employees, counsel, accountants and other authorized representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours throughout the period prior to the Effective Time, to its executive officers, to its properties, books, contracts and records and, during such period, each shall (and each shall cause its Subsidiaries to) furnish promptly to the other all information concerning its business, properties, personnel and litigation claims as may reasonably be requested but only to the extent such access does not unreasonably interfere with the business or operations of such party; provided that no investigation pursuant to this Section shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty made in this Agreement; provided, further that the parties hereto shall not be required to provide information (i) in breach of applicable Law or (ii) that is subject to confidentiality obligations. Unless otherwise required by Law, the parties shall hold all information of the other party which is confidential and is reasonably identified as such or should reasonably be known to be confidential, in confidence until such time as such information otherwise becomes publicly available through no wrongful act of the receiving party. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, each party promptly shall return to such other party or destroy, providing reasonable evidence of such destruction, all such confidential information obtained from any other party, and any copies made of (and other extrapolations from or work product or analyses based on) such documents.
     Section 4.10. Sale Agreement. During the period from the date of this Agreement to the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Effective Time of the Merger, CPA:12 agrees that it will not amend or terminate the Sale Agreement without the prior written consent of CPA:14, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     Section 7.4. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended by the parties in writing by action of their respective Boards of Directors at any time before or after the CPA:12 Stockholder Approval is obtained and prior to the filing of the Articles of Merger for the Merger with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland; provided, however, that, after the CPA:12 Stockholder Approval is obtained, no such amendment, modification or supplement shall alter the amount or change the form of the Merger Consideration to be delivered to the CPA:12 Stockholders or alter or change any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement if such alteration or change would adversely affect the CPA:12 Stockholders.
     Section 7.5. Extension; Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, each of CPA:12 and CPA:14 may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other party, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (c) subject to the provisions of

-45-

 

Section 7.4, waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions of the other party contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such party. The failure of any party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.
     Section 7.6. Payment of Expenses.
     (a) In the event that CPA:12 is obligated to pay CPA:14 the CPA:14 Break-Up Expenses pursuant to Section 7.2(b) (the “Expense Amount”), CPA:12 shall pay to CPA:14 from the applicable CPA:14 Break Up Expenses deposited into escrow in accordance with the next sentence, an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the Expense Amount and (ii) the sum of (A) the maximum amount that can be paid to CPA:14 without causing CPA:14 to fail to meet the requirements of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) for the year in which the Expense Amount would otherwise be payable, for this purpose treating such amount as income that does not qualify for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (c)(3), as determined by CPA:14’s independent certified public accountants, plus (B) in the event CPA:14 receives either (1) a letter from CPA:14’s counsel indicating that CPA:14 has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 7.6(b) or (2) an opinion from CPA:14’s counsel as described in Section 7.6(b), an amount equal to the Expense Amount less the amount payable under clause (A) above. To the extent the entire Expense Amount is not paid to CPA:14 in the year in which such amount would otherwise be payable as a result of the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.6(a), the Expense Amount shall be carried forward to the succeeding year and shall be payable (as described above) in such succeeding year by applying the same formula and by deeming such Expense Amount as payable in such succeeding year. To the extent the full Expense Amount has not been paid in the initial and succeeding year, the amount shall similarly be carried forward for each of the next three taxable years. To the extent that the entire Expense Amounts has not been paid in the initial year, the succeeding year and the three following years, the Expense Amount shall be forfeited by CPA:14. To secure CPA:14’s obligation to pay these amounts, CPA:12 shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Expense Amount with an escrow agent selected by CPA:12 and on such terms (subject to Section 8.3(b)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by CPA:12, CPA:14 and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the Expense Amount pursuant to this Section 7.6(a) shall be made at the time CPA:12 would otherwise be obligated to pay CPA:14 pursuant to Section 7.2.
     (b) The escrow agreement shall provide that the Expense Amount in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to CPA:14 unless the escrow agent receives any of the following: (i) a letter from CPA:14’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to CPA:14 without causing the Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income that qualifies for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) (“Qualifying Income”) or a subsequent letter from CPA:14’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to CPA:14, or (ii) a letter from CPA:14’s counsel indicating that CPA:14 received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by CPA:14 of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) (or alternatively, CPA:14’s counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by CPA:14 of the Expense Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income for purposes of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3)), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Expense Amount to CPA:14. CPA:12 agrees to amend this Section 7.6 at the request of CPA:14 in order to (A) maximize the portion of the Expense Amount that may be distributed to CPA:12 hereunder without causing CPA:12 to fail to meet the requirements of Code Sections 856(c)(2) and (3), (B) improve the likelihood of CPA:14 securing a ruling described in this Section 7.6(b), or (C) assist CPA:14 in obtaining a legal opinion from its counsel as described in this Section 7.6(b). The escrow

-46-

 

agreement shall also provide that any portion of the Expense Amount not paid to CPA:14 in the initial year and the four succeeding years shall be released by the escrow agent to CPA:12. CPA:12 shall not be a party to such escrow agreement and shall not bear any cost of or have liability resulting from the escrow agreement.

     (c) CPA:12 shall give CPA:14 (i) prompt notice of any demands for payment of fair value pursuant to the applicable provisions of the MGCL received by CPA:12, attempted withdrawals of such demands, and any other instruments served pursuant to the MGCL and received by CPA:12 relating to rights of appraisal and (ii) the opportunity to participate in and direct the conduct of all negotiations and proceedings with respect to demands for payment of fair value under the MGCL.
