1.4 Prorations.

(a) Generally.

(i) All prorations and other adjustments of the items described in this Section 1.4 shall be made at the Closing based on the applicable Closing Statement prepared by the Interest Seller and delivered to Interest Purchaser in accordance with this Section 1.4. As set forth in Section 1.2(b), the net amount of credits to Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller for Proration Items, as reflected on the applicable Closing Statement, shall result in an increase or decrease of the Unadjusted Purchase Price.

(ii) Except as otherwise set forth herein, all items to be prorated and other adjustments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.4 (the “Proration Items”) shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on May 31, 2016 (the “Adjustment Time”) and the net amount thereof either shall be paid by Interest Purchaser to Interest Seller or credited to Interest Purchaser, as the case may be, at the Closing. Interest Purchaser shall be treated as the owner of the Company, for purposes of prorations of income and expenses, on and after the Adjustment Time. Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller acknowledge that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, or elsewhere in the other agreements and documents contemplated hereunder, the purpose and intent as to prorations and other adjustments is that Interest Seller shall bear all expenses of ownership and operation of the Company, and shall receive the benefit of all income therefrom, accruing for periods prior to the Adjustment Time and Interest Purchaser shall bear all such expenses and receive the benefit of all income accruing for periods after the Adjustment Time.

(b) Proration of Operating Expenses. All operating expenses (including, without limitation, expenses related to electricity, solar power, telephone, gas, oil and water utilities, expenses related to maintenance of the Premises and expenses related to security services for the Premises) with respect to the Premises levied against the Company, Interest Seller or the Premises shall be apportioned as of the Adjustment Time on the basis of the period for which such operating expenses were incurred. With respect to utility charges, Interest Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have the utility company providing such utilities read the meters at or immediately prior to the Adjustment Time and, with respect to charges for other services provided, Interest Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have the provider of such services provide an invoice for such services at or immediately prior to the Adjustment Time. Interest Seller shall be responsible for all charges based on such final meter readings and final invoices as of the Adjustment Time, and Interest Purchaser shall be responsible for all charges thereafter. To the extent such meters are not read or such invoices are not available and final bills are not rendered as of the Adjustment Time, such charges with respect to the Premises shall be prorated effective as of the Adjustment Time utilizing an estimate of such charges reasonably approved by both Interest Seller and Interest Purchaser based on prior bills for the services or utility, as applicable, with a reconciliation thereof to occur in accordance with Section 1.4(f)(ii) below. All deposits for utilities or services made by the Company (which are listed on Schedule 1.4(b) attached hereto) shall remain with the Company at the Closing and Interest Seller shall receive a credit therefor at the Closing.

(i) Base or Fixed Rent. Base or fixed rent, including office space rent and storage rent, if applicable (collectively, “Fixed Rent”) paid by any Tenant under the applicable Lease shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Time. Interest Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing for any Fixed Rent paid by a Tenant to the Company for the rent period in which the Closing occurs in an amount equal to the rent paid for such rent period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the Closing Date through and

-4-

including the last day of the rent period in which the Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Closing occurs. Interest Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for any Fixed Rent payable in the rent period in which the Closing occurs but not yet received by the Company in an amount equal to the unpaid Fixed Rent multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the first day of the rent period in which the Closing occurs through and including the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Closing occurs.

(ii) Delinquent Rent. Any Rent (as hereinafter defined) that shall not have been paid when due under any Lease as of the Closing shall be referred to as “Delinquent Rent.” Delinquent Rent collected after the Closing Date shall be applied as follows, with any Delinquent Rents attributable to the period prior to Closing paid to Interest Seller: All Delinquent Rent received shall be applied first to then current Rent, and then to Delinquent Rent, in inverse order of maturity; provided, that any Rent collected for the month in which the Closing occurs (if not collected prior to Closing) shall be allocated between Interest Seller and Buyer based on the number of days in such month. At Closing, Interest Seller shall deliver to Interest Purchaser a schedule of all past due but uncollected Rent and other sums owed by tenants, and Interest Purchaser shall cause the Company to include the amount of such Rent and other sums in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for six (6) months thereafter and shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to collect such past due rent; provided, that for a period of three (3) months following the Closing Date, Interest Purchaser shall have no obligation to file a cause of action or bring legal proceedings against such Tenant to collect any Delinquent Rent; provided further, that from and after the date that is three (3) months after the Closing Date, upon the written request of Interest Seller and at Interest Seller’s sole cost and expense, Interest Purchaser shall file or cause to be filed a cause of action and to bring and pursue legal proceedings against such Tenant to collect any Delinquent Rent.

(iii) Advance Rent Payments. In the event that the Company shall have received payments of rent or other charges under any Lease that relates to a period beginning after the Adjustment Time, Interest Purchaser will receive a credit against the Interest Purchase Price for such amount of rent or other charges.

(iv) Electric Utilities Paid by Tenants. Electric utility payments made by any Tenant under the applicable Lease based on estimated electric utility usage during the rent period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Time. Interest Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing for any estimated electric utilities paid by a Tenant to the Company for the rent period in which the Closing occurs in an amount equal to the estimated electric utilities paid for such rent period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the Closing Date through and including the last day of the rent period in which the Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Closing occurs. Interest Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for any estimated electric utilities payable in the rent period in which the Closing occurs but not yet received by the Company in an amount equal to the unpaid estimated electric utilities multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the first day of the applicable rent period in which the Closing occurs through and including the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the applicable rent period in which the Closing occurs. Interest Seller shall receive a credit or deduction, as applicable, at the Closing for the reconciliation of any estimated electric utility payments made during the rent period immediately prior to the rent period in which the Closing occurs.

-5-

(v) Operating Expenses Under Leases. All operating expenses, reimbursements, common area maintenance charges, taxes and other charges under any Lease (collectively, “Operating Expenses” and, together with Fixed Rent, collectively, “Rent”) paid by any Tenant under the applicable Lease shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Time. Interest Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing for any Operating Expenses paid by a Tenant to the Company for the rent period in which the Closing occurs in an amount equal to the Operating Expenses paid for such rent period multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the Closing Date through and including the last day of the rent period in which the Closing occurs, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Closing occurs. Interest Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for any operating expenses payable in the rent period in which the Closing occurs but not yet received by the Company in an amount equal to the unpaid operating expenses multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the first day of the rent period in which the Closing occurs through and including the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the rent period in which the Closing occurs.

(d) Taxes. Real property taxes and assessments will be prorated between Interest Seller and Interest Purchaser for the period for which such taxes are assessed, regardless of when payable. Any taxes paid at or prior to the Adjustment Time shall be prorated based upon the amounts most recently paid. If taxes and assessments for the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs or any prior years have not been paid before the Closing, Interest Purchaser shall be credited by Interest Seller at the time of payment of such taxes with an amount equal to that portion of such taxes, assessments, charges or rents which are ratably attributable to the period before the Adjustment Time. If taxes and assessments for the fiscal year in which Closing occurs have been paid before Closing, Interest Seller shall by credited by Interest Purchaser at the time of the Closing with an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which are ratably attributable to the period from and after the Adjustment Time. For the avoidance of doubt, the real property taxes for 2016 are the subject of the Real Property Tax Appeal, as defined and discussed in Section 5.13 and the Seller Parties have made two installment payments of the real property taxes for 2016 based on the real property taxes due for 2015. At Closing, the proration of the real property taxes for 2016 shall be based on the estimated real property taxes paid in 2016, with a reconciliation of such estimated real property taxes to the actual real property taxes due for 2016 in accordance with Section 1.4(f) and, following resolution of the Real Property Tax Appeal, further reconciliation of such real property taxes pursuant to Section 5.13. In addition, Interest Seller shall be responsible for and pay any costs associated with any reassessment, change in classification or other adjustments resulting in additional taxes for periods prior to the Adjustment Time.

(e) Tenant Security Deposits. Interest Seller shall grant to Interest Purchaser a credit in an amount equal to the aggregate of the unapplied Tenant security and other deposits under the Leases that are held by the Company in cash at the time of the Adjustment Time and are retained by the Interest Seller after the Closing, including all accrued interest thereon to the extent any Tenant may be entitled to receive such amounts in connection with the refund of any such deposit.

(f) Closing Statements; Calculation of Proration Items and Adjustment Items; Disputes.

(i) Applicable Time Period. Interest Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items (other than Delinquent Rent and real property Taxes) relating to the period up to and including the Adjustment Time, and Interest Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items (other than real property Taxes) relating to the period after the Adjustment Time. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, all prorations

-6-

shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the time period which shall have elapsed prior to the Adjustment Time and based upon the actual number of days in the time period and a three hundred sixty five (365) day year. All prorations and adjustments made pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall be made without duplication whatsoever.

(ii) Closing Statement. Interest Seller has prepared and delivered to Interest Purchaser for its review and comment, a statement of estimated Proration Items, Adjustment Items and other credits and adjustments to the Unadjusted Purchase Price, together with all relevant supporting documentation (the “Closing Statement”) and the Parties have agreed on the contents of the Closing Statement. The Proration Items, Adjustment Items and other credits and adjustments reflected in the Closing Statement will be paid at the Closing by Interest Purchaser to Interest Seller (if the Proration Items, Adjustment Items, credits and adjustments result in a net credit to Interest Seller) or by Interest Seller to Interest Purchaser (if the Proration Items, Adjustment Items, credits and adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.4 result in a net credit to Interest Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Interest Purchaser in payment of the Estimated Purchase Price at the Closing. As soon as practicable following the Closing and, in any event, on the later of sixty (60) days after the Closing or fifteen (15) Business Days following the date Interest Purchaser receives written notice of real estate taxes for 2016, Interest Purchaser shall prepare in good faith and deliver to Interest Seller for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, an update to the Closing Statement (the “Adjusted Closing Statement”) which update will reflect Interest Purchaser’s calculation of the Proration Items, Adjustment Items and other credits and adjustments pursuant to Section 1.2(b), Section 1.4(b), Section 1.4(c), Section 1.4(d) and Section 1.4(e) as of the Adjustment Time based on the information available as of the preparation date.

(iii) Review by Accountants. If Interest Seller disagrees with any Proration Items, Adjustment Items or other adjustments or calculations on the Adjusted Closing Statement, it shall provide a notice to Interest Purchaser within sixty (60) days after Interest Seller’s receipt of the Adjusted Closing Statement setting forth the items with which it disagrees with reasonable detailed support in respect of such disagreement (the “Seller Objection Notice”). If the Parties are, after using their respective good faith efforts, unable to reach agreement on all such items within thirty (30) calendar days following the receipt by Interest Purchaser of a Seller Objection Notice, Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the end of such thirty (30) day period, cause PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (or, if they are unable or unwilling to serve, a firm of accountants of nationally recognized standing reasonably satisfactory to Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller) (the “Accountants”) to promptly review this Agreement and the disputed line items in the Adjusted Closing Statement for the purpose of resolving such dispute. In performing their review, the Accountants shall (A) apply only the calculations set forth in Exhibit I and the provisions of this Section 1.4, (B) determine the accurate application of such provisions to only those line items in the Adjusted Closing Statement as to which Interest Seller has disagreed and which Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller have been subsequently unable to reach agreement, and (C) limit their determination of the appropriate amount of each of the line items in the applicable Seller Objection Notice, and shall make a final determination in writing, binding on the Parties, of the appropriate amount with respect to each such line item by selecting either the position initially submitted to the Accountants by Interest Purchaser or the position initially submitted to the Accountants by Interest Seller pursuant to this Section 1.4(f)(iii) or an amount in between such amounts, that the Accountants believe is the most accurate calculation with respect to such disputed line item. The Accountants shall be required to deliver to Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller, as promptly as practicable, but no later than thirty (30) calendar days after the Accountants are engaged, a written report setting forth their resolution of the disputed line items. Interest Purchaser and Interest Seller shall promptly comply with all reasonable requests by the Accountants for information, books, records and similar items. Interest Seller and Interest Purchaser shall each pay fifty percent (50%) of the Accountants’ fees and expenses.

-7-

(iv) Final Payment. Within three (3) Business Days after (A) approval of the Adjusted Closing Statement by Interest Seller pursuant to Section 1.4(f)(ii) (B) the failure of Interest Seller to deliver a Seller Objection Notice within sixty (60) days of receipt of the Adjusted Closing Statement, or (C) the delivery of an Accountant’s written report pursuant to Section 1.4(f)(iii), (I) Interest Purchaser shall pay to Interest Seller, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated by the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 1.3, an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the net credit to Interest Seller is greater, or the net credit to Interest Purchaser is less, on the Adjusted Closing Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4(f)(iii)) than the applicable credit taken into account in determining the Estimated Purchase Price payable at the Closing or (II) Interest Seller shall pay to Interest Purchaser, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account(s) designated in writing by Interest Purchaser, an amount equal to the amount, if any, by which the net credit to Interest Seller is less, or the net credit to Interest Purchaser is greater, on the Adjusted Closing Statement (as finally determined pursuant to Section 1.4(f)(iii)) than the applicable credit taken into account in determining the Estimated Purchase Price payable at the Closing.

(v) Prorations, Adjustment Items and other adjustments pursuant to this Section 1.4 shall not affect, be limited by, or be applied against any limitations, deductibles, thresholds or maximum amounts relating to the indemnification obligations and claims for Losses contained elsewhere in this Agreement. The Closing Statement shall contain the prorations and adjustments required by Section 1.2(b) and this Section 1.4. This Section 1.4 shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations.

In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (1) each Transferred Employee shall be immediately eligible to participate, without any waiting time, in any and all New Plans to the extent coverage under such New Plan replaces coverage under a comparable plan in which such Transferred Employee participated immediately before such replacement; and (2) Interest Purchaser hereby agrees that Interest Purchaser shall, or shall cause its Affiliates (including, as of the Closing, the Company) to (I) cause to be waived all pre-existing condition exclusion and actively-at-work requirements and similar limitations, eligibility waiting periods, and, to the extent permitted under any applicable employee benefit plan or underlying policy, evidence of insurability requirements under any New Plans to the extent waived or satisfied by a Transferred Employee (or covered dependent thereof) under any plan as of the Closing and (II) cause any covered expenses incurred during the plan year in which commencement of participation in such New Plan begins and prior to the Closing Date by a Transferred Employee (or covered dependent thereof) to be taken into account for purposes of satisfying applicable deductible, coinsurance, and maximum out-of-pocket provisions after the Closing Date under any applicable New Plan.

Nothing contained in this Section 5.17 shall constitute or be deemed to be an amendment to any Employee Benefit Plan or any other compensation or benefit plan, program or arrangement of Interest Seller, Interest Purchaser, the Company, or their respective Affiliates.

(e) For the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the first anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller Parent shall not, and shall cause its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or hire any Transferred Employee; provided, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) a general solicitation to the public of general advertising or similar methods of solicitation by search firms not specifically directed at the Transferred Employees and the subsequent hiring of any Transferred Employee that responds to such general solicitation after such one-year period, or (ii) Seller Parent or any of its subsidiaries from soliciting, recruiting or hiring any Transferred Employee who has ceased to be employed or retained by Purchaser or one of its Affiliates for at least six (6) months.

ARTICLE VII

SURVIVAL; INDEMNIFICATION

7.1 Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties of the Parties in ARTICLE III and ARTICLE IV of this Agreement shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date; provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties and Seller Parent contained in Sections 3.1 (Organization, Power and Authority of the Seller Parties), 3.2 (Membership Interests), 3.4 (Capitalization and Subsidiaries), 3.5 Ownership of Property), 3.8 (Tax Matters)and 3.14 (Financial Adviser) (the “Seller Core Representations and Warranties”) shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations with respect thereto, (ii) the representations and warranties of the Seller Parties and Seller Parent contained in Section 3.11 (Environmental Matters) shall survive the Closing for a period of three (3) years following the Closing Date and (iii) the representations and warranties of the Purchaser Parties contained in Sections 4.1 (Organization, Power and Authority of the Purchaser Parties) and 4.3 (Financial Advisor) (the “Purchaser Core Representations and Warranties” and, together with the Seller Core Representations and Warranties, the “Core Representations and Warranties”) shall survive for the applicable statute of limitations with respect thereto.

7.2 Indemnification by the Seller Parties and Seller Parent. From and after the Closing Date, the Seller Parties and Seller Parent (collectively, for purposes of this ARTICLE VII, the “Seller Indemnifying Parties”), jointly and severally, shall, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VII, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Parties and their respective Affiliates, (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that may be suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to any of the following matters:

(a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Seller Parties or Seller Parent in ARTICLE III; or

(b) a breach of any covenant or obligation of Seller Parties or Seller Parent contained in this Agreement.

-29-

7.3 Indemnification by the Purchaser Parties. From and after the Closing Date, the Purchaser Parties, jointly and severally, shall, subject to the provisions of this ARTICLE VII, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Parties, Seller Parent and their respective Affiliates (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all Losses that may be suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from or relating to any of the following matters:

(a) any inaccuracy or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Purchaser Parties in ARTICLE IV;

(b) a breach of any covenant or obligation of the Purchaser Parties contained in this Agreement; or

7.4 Character of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made with respect to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Unadjusted Purchase Price, unless otherwise required by law (including by a determination of a Tax Authority that, under applicable law, is not subject to further review or appeal).

7.5 Notice and Resolution of Claims.

(a) Each Person entitled to indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall give written notice to the indemnifying party or parties from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after obtaining knowledge of any claim that it may have under Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable. The notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the claim and the basis for indemnification. Failure to give the notice in a timely manner shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under Section 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, except to the extent that the failure prejudices the ability of the Indemnifying Party to contest that claim.

(b) Defense of Third Party Claims. If a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 7.2 or 7.3 shall arise from any Action made or brought by a third party that would reasonably be expected to result in indemnifiable Losses (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party, who shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall retain the right to employ its own counsel and participate in the defense of the Third Party Claim at its own expense (which shall not be recoverable from the Indemnifying Party under this ARTICLE VII unless the Indemnifying Party shall authorize the Indemnified Party in writing to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, in which case the reasonable expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party). In no event shall the Indemnifying Party be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all Indemnified Parties with respect to any claim indemnified under this ARTICLE VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.5(b), (i) no Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Section 7.2 or 7.3 without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless it has assumed the defense of such Third Party Claim and as part of the settlement the Indemnified Party is released from all liability with respect to the Third Party Claim and the settlement does not impose any equitable remedy on the Indemnified Party or require the Indemnified Party to admit any fault, culpability or failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party, and (ii) no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to settle any Third Party Claim for which indemnification is sought under Section 7.2 or 7.3 without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless the Third Party Claim is for money damages only and such settlement does not include a statement as to, or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party and as part of such settlement the Indemnifying Party is released

-30-

from all liability (for indemnification pursuant to this ARTICLE VII and otherwise) with respect to such Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within twenty (20) Business Days after receipt of the Indemnified Party’s notice of a Third Party Claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to assume the control of the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to contest the Third Party Claim but shall not thereby waive any right to indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement and the costs of such Actions by the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party.

(c) The provisions of this Section 7.5(c) shall apply to any Claim relating to or arising from Seller Indemnifying Parties’ obligation to indemnify the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 7.2(a) as to any breaches of the representations and warranties contained in Section 3.11, including any associated investigative, remediation, cleanup, remedial, removal or corrective action or monitoring (“Environmental Response”) (collectively, “Environmental Claims”).

(i) The Seller Indemnifying Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the defense or control of or settle any Environmental Claim, or undertake any Environmental Response, with counsel, consultants or contractors selected by the Seller Parties (to be reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser Parties); provided, that the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall, to the extent relevant to the Company, (A) keep Interest Purchaser reasonably informed as to the status of the foregoing, (B) promptly provide Interest Purchaser with any material non-privileged information, documentation and correspondence relating to the Environmental Claim or Environmental Response and (C) exercise reasonable efforts to consult with Interest Purchaser prior to exchanges of material documentation or material information or engaging in material negotiations with any Person (Interest Purchaser to make itself reasonably available and without delay as to same).

(ii) To the extent that the Seller Indemnifying Parties have chosen, at their discretion, to control or undertake any Environmental Response, Interest Purchaser shall, and shall cause each of its Affiliates and Representatives to, provide the Seller Indemnifying Parties and their Representatives with reasonable access to such asset or property (subject to the rights of tenants) to permit the Seller Indemnifying Parties or their Representatives to undertake such Environmental Response at reasonable times, on reasonable advance written notice and without unreasonable interference with Interest Purchaser’s business operations. Interest Purchaser agrees that it will not, to the extent practicable, unreasonably interfere with or disturb the Seller Indemnifying Parties’ performance of such Environmental Response and, as is reasonably necessary, shall provide access to site utilities.

(iii) To the extent that an environmental condition which is the subject of an Environmental Claim for which Interest Purchaser seeks indemnification from the Seller Indemnifying Parties is altered, exacerbated or increased after the Closing Date due to an act or omission of Interest Purchaser, its Affiliates, their respective contractors and subcontractors, and invitees, guests, or any third parties acting on their own or under the supervision or direction of Interest Purchaser or any Governmental Entity, which results in increased or additional Claims, costs or Liabilities, the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall not be responsible or liable for such increased or additional Claims, costs or Liabilities.

(iv) The Seller Indemnifying Parties shall have no obligation for any Environmental Claim to the extent that the Loss for which Interest Purchaser is seeking indemnification relates to, arises out of or results from (A) the closure, transfer, sale or termination of a Lease or the Property after the Closing Date, except to the extent that the Environmental Claim arises solely from or is directly associated with an ISRA triggering event resulting from the

-31-

transactions under this Agreement, (B) any change in the use of all or part of the Property after the Closing Date from the current use, (C) any investigation, assessment, corrective action, cleanup, remedial, removal, or similar activity other than performed using the lowest cost methods available and as required to comply with the minimum applicable standards acceptable to the relevant Governmental Entity under applicable Environmental Law in effect and enforceable as of the date of the aforementioned investigation, assessment, corrective action, cleanup, remedial, removal or similar activity, including, where available, risk-based standards, commercially reasonable deed restrictions, and engineering or institutional controls or (D) any report or disclosure to any Governmental Entity by or on behalf of Interest Purchaser or any Purchaser Indemnified Party unless required by Environmental Law.

(v) The Seller Indemnifying Parties’ indemnification obligation for any Environmental Claim shall be extinguished and of no further force or effect to the extent that any Purchaser Indemnified Party initiates, permits, allows or conducts any environmental investigation, assessment, sampling or testing of soil, subsurface strata, surface water, groundwater, sediments, ambient air or other environmental mediums (collectively, “Environmental Investigations”) unless such investigation, assessment, sampling or testing is required by Environmental Law or the order of a Governmental Entity; provided, however, that this provision shall not apply to any pre-Closing Environmental Investigations.

7.6 Limitations on Liability.

(a) Deductible.

(i) The Seller Indemnifying Parties shall not have any obligation or liability to any Purchaser Indemnified Party under Section 7.2(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by the Purchaser Indemnified Parties arising out of the matters referred to in Section 7.2(a) shall have exceeded Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), in which case the Seller Indemnifying Parties shall be obligated and liable under Sections 7.2(a) only with respect to such applicable excess.

(ii) The Purchaser Parties shall not have any obligation or liability to any Seller Indemnified Party under Section 7.3(a) unless and until the aggregate amount of Losses incurred or suffered by the Seller Indemnified Parties arising out of the matters referred to in Section 7.3(a) shall have exceeded Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000), in which case the Purchaser Parties shall be obligated and liable under Section 7.3(a) only with respect to such excess.

(b) Limit of Liability. The liability of the Seller Indemnifying Parties pursuant to Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate and the liability of the Purchaser Parties pursuant to Section 7.3(a) shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate; provided, however, that the liability cap for Environmental Claims shall not exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000); and provided, further, that the liability caps in this Section 7.6(b) shall not apply to Losses with respect to the Core Representations and Warranties or to any other Losses arising under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3; . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, under no circumstances shall the aggregate liabilities of the Seller Indemnifying Parties or the aggregate liabilities of the Purchaser Parties pursuant to this ARTICLE VII exceed One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($125,000,000); provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not apply to claims based on fraud, willful misconduct, intentional misrepresentation or the Net Data Centers Litigation.

-32-

(c) Limit on Time for Assertion of Claims. None of the Seller Indemnifying Parties or the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability pursuant to Section 7.2(a) or Section 7.3(a) respectively, for any breach of any representation or warranty unless notice of a claim asserting such breach shall have been given in accordance with Section 7.5 prior to the termination of the survival period applicable to such representation or warranty as set forth in Section 7.1. The Parties further acknowledge that the time periods set forth in this Section 7.6(c) for the assertion of claims, under this Agreement are the result of arms’ length negotiation among the Parties and that they intend for the time periods to be enforced as agreed by the Parties.

(d) Other Limitations.

(i) None of the Seller Indemnifying Parties or the Purchaser Parties shall have any obligation or liability under Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as applicable, with respect to any Losses that are (A) caused by the actions of any Indemnified Party, (B) exacerbated by any Indemnified Party to the extent of the exacerbation or (C) recovered by any Indemnified Party from any third party (including insurers). The Indemnified Party shall seek full recovery under all insurance policies covering any Losses to the same extent as it would if such Losses were not subject to indemnification hereunder. If the amount of any Losses suffered by any Indemnified Party is reduced, at any time subsequent to any payment in respect thereof by an Indemnifying Party pursuant to Section 7.2 or Section 7.3, as applicable, by recovery from any other third party (including any insurer), an amount equal to the amount of such reduction (not to exceed, in any event, the amount so previously paid in respect thereof by the Indemnifying Party) shall promptly be repaid by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party.

(ii) An Indemnifying Party shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party to the extent of any Losses that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have determined by final judgment to have resulted from the fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Party seeking indemnification.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no Party shall, in any event, be liable under this ARTICLE VII to any other Person for any consequential or punitive damages of such other Person to the extent the same are not a reasonably foreseeable consequence, except to the extent awarded to a third party in a third-party claim.

(iv) In the event of any breach giving rise to an indemnification obligation under this ARTICLE VII, an Indemnified Party shall take and cause its Affiliates to take, or cooperate with an Indemnifying Party if so requested by the Indemnifying Party in order to take, all commercially reasonable measures to mitigate the consequences of the related breach.

(v) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement, any amounts payable pursuant to the indemnification obligations under this ARTICLE VII shall be paid without duplication and in no event shall any Party hereto be indemnified under different provisions of this Agreement for the same Losses, including but not limited to in respect of any matter that is taken into account in the calculation of the Estimated Purchase Price pursuant to Section 1.2.

7.7 Exclusive Remedy; Nature of Representations and Warranties. Following the Closing Date, the sole and exclusive remedy for any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement contained in this Agreement or otherwise relating to the Membership Interests, the Transferred Asset, the Company or the Property or the subject matter of this Agreement shall be indemnification in accordance with this ARTICLE VII, except with respect to any claim based on fraud, willful misconduct or intentional misrepresentation, and no Person will have any other entitlement, remedy

-33-

or recourse, whether in contract, tort, by statute or otherwise. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or other agreement set forth herein (or otherwise relating to the Company or the subject matter of this Agreement) it may have against the other Parties hereto and its Affiliates arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in this ARTICLE VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 7.7 shall not operate to limit the rights of the Parties to seek equitable remedies (including specific performance or injunctive relief).

7.8 Separate Indemnity for Certain Matters.

(a) Promptly following the Closing, (i) Seller Parent and Interest Seller shall use reasonable best efforts to cause Interest Seller or one of its affiliates to be substituted for the Company as a party to the Net Data Centers Bankruptcy, including Adversary Case No. 2:15-ap-01647-BB or any other judicial, administrative or other proceeding related to the Net Data Centers Bankruptcy directly or indirectly involving the Company (the “Net Data Centers Litigation”) and (ii) Interest Purchaser shall, and shall cause the Company to, use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cooperate with Seller Parent and Interest Seller to cause Interest Seller or one of its Affiliates to be substituted for the Company as a party to the Net Data Centers Litigation.

(b) Notwithstanding the substitution of Interest Seller for the Company as a party to the Net Data Centers Litigation, the Excluded Assets relating to the Net Data Centers Bankruptcy, the transfer of the Excluded Assets pursuant to Section 5.15, the Asset Assignment and Assumption Agreement in Exhibit H, and the provisions of Sections 7.1 – 7.7 above, from and after the Closing Date, each Interest Seller and Seller Parent, jointly and severally, shall (i) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to defend and prevent entry of a final order determining any liability against the Company in the Net Data Centers Bankruptcy, including the Net Data Centers Litigation, and (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses that may be suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to the Net Data Centers Bankruptcy without further notice or other action by any Purchaser Indemnified Party.

(c) Interest Seller and Seller Parent shall keep each Purchaser Indemnified Party timely informed of all material developments in the Net Data Centers Litigation involving the Company to allow the Purchaser Indemnified Parties to undertake any other action they may deem necessary or appropriate to protect their interests in the Net Data Centers Bankruptcy and Net Data Centers Litigation.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, including the provisions of Sections 7.1 – 7.7 above, from and after the Closing Date, Interest Seller and Seller Parent, jointly and severally, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses that may be suffered or incurred by any Purchaser Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, or relating to (i) the Notice to Abate issued on May 23, 2016; (ii) the failure of the Property, as of the Closing Date, to be properly zoned to permit the use of the Property for a data center (including the use and operation of the Transferred Asset), offices, and other related and ancillary uses; (iii) the failure of the Title Company to issue the zoning endorsement 3.1-06, insuring the foregoing uses as permitted under the current zoning; (iv) the use, prior to the Closing Date, of biocide and corrosion inhibitor additives to the non-contact cooling water that is ultimately authorized for discharge to Rehobeth Brook and for on-site use as irrigation water in violation of applicable New Jersey environmental regulations, without further notice or other action by any Purchaser Indemnified Party, or (v) UCC financing statements ###-###-#### and ###-###-#### filed August 12, 2010, by United Rentals (North America), Inc., Herndon, VA.

When a reference is made in this Agreement to a Section, Exhibit or Schedule such reference will be to a Section, Exhibit or Schedule of or to this Agreement unless otherwise indicated. The table of contents and headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. Whenever the words “include”, “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they will be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” No provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in favor of, or against, any of the Parties to this Agreement by reason of the extent to which such Party or its counsel participated in the drafting thereof or by any reason of the extent to which such provision is consistent with any prior draft hereof.

8.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which will be considered one and the same agreement and will become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature or in portable document format (PDF).

8.6 Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto and the documents and instruments delivered and to be delivered hereunder constitute the entire agreement of the Parties and their respective Affiliates and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Confidentiality Agreement will remain in full force and effect in all respects, except to the extent modified by the provisions of Section 5.3. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties hereto, the Persons entitled to indemnification hereunder, and in each case their respective successors, heirs, legal representatives and permitted assigns. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or representative of the Company shall have any liability for any obligations or liabilities of the Seller Parties under this Agreement or agreements contemplated hereby or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, the Transactions.

-36-

8.9 Enforcement.

(a) Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each of the Parties will be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in any court of the United States of America located in the State of New York or in any New York state court, this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity.

Each Party (i) irrevocably consents to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, New York in the event any dispute arises out of this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the venue or jurisdiction of any such dispute in any such court or that such dispute was brought in an inconvenient forum, and agrees not to plead or claim the same.

(c) Waiver of Right to Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ANY ACTION OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF ANY DISPUTE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

8.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the Transactions are not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction will, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. If any provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be unenforceable, the provision will be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.

8.12 Schedule References and Sections. Matters reflected in any Section of this Agreement are not necessarily limited to matters required by this Agreement to be so reflected. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.

-37-

an admission or indication that such item or other matter is material for purposes of this Agreement or that such item or other matter is required to be referred to or disclosed in this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, no such reference to or disclosure of a possible breach or violation of, or default under, any Contract, Law or judgment or order of a Governmental Entity shall be construed as an admission or indication that any breach, violation or default exists or actually occurred.

8.13 Further Assurances. The Parties agree that, from time to time, whether at or after the Closing Date, each of them will execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance (including conveyance of all of parcels of land associated with the Property to the extent not otherwise directly or indirectly conveyed in connection with the Closing) and transfer and take such other actions as may be necessary to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement.

Within twenty (20) business days of receipt of notice of a discrepancy from the Service Recipient, Seller shall (i) reimburse the Service Recipient for the amount of the discrepancy arising out of the audit or (ii) notify the Service Recipient that it disputes the results of the audit.
