In consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Purchaser, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:

The Earnest Money shall be invested as Seller and Purchaser so direct. Any and all interest earned on the Earnest Money shall be reported to Purchaser’s federal tax identification number. Except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, the Earnest Money is nonrefundable, provided that if the transaction closes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller at Closing as payment toward the Purchase Price. In all other events, the Earnest Money shall be applied as set forth in this Agreement.

Purchaser shall pay the Cash Balance by federal funds wire transferred to an account designated by Seller in writing.

3.    EVIDENCE OF TITLE.

3.1    Matters Before the Objection Date. Seller has delivered to Purchaser: (a) a current commitment for an ALTA Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (the “Title Commitment”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, issued by the Title Company identified in the Company Disclosure Letter (in its capacity as title insurer, “Title Insurer”); (b) available copies of all title exception documents referred to in the Title Commitment, and (c) a survey of the Real Property and the Improvements (“Survey”). At Closing, Purchaser may cause the Title Commitment and Survey to be updated for purposes of issuance of an ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Owner’s Policy”) insuring Nine Penn Owner’s fee simple title to the Real Property and the Improvements, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, in the full amount of the Purchase Price. If the Title Commitment (or an update of the Title Commitment) or Survey (or an update of the Survey) discloses exceptions or matters other than those Permitted Exceptions which are listed on Exhibit F of the Company Disclosure Letter, then, prior to 5:00 p.m. Chicago time on January 24, 2019 (the “Objection Period”), Purchaser may notify Seller in writing of any such exceptions or matters to which it objects (“Objection Notice”). Subject to Section 3.3, any exceptions or matters disclosed on the Title Commitment or the Survey delivered to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Objection Period and not objected to by Purchaser within the Objection Period shall, together with the exceptions set forth on Exhibit F of the Company Disclosure Letter, be “Permitted Exceptions”. Subject to Section 3.3, if Purchaser does not give notice of any objections to Seller within the Objection Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the title as shown in the Title Commitment as of the expiration of the Objection Period, and all matters shown on the Survey as of the expiration of the Objection Period, and any such exceptions or matters shall be “Permitted Exceptions”. If Purchaser delivers an Objection Notice within the Objection Period, Seller shall have until the date that is two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Objection Notice to provide written notice to Purchaser (“Seller’s Response”) specifying whether or not Seller elects, by the Closing Date, to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over matters or exceptions to which Purchaser has validly objected in its Objection Notice. If Seller fails to provide Seller’s Response within such two (2) Business Day period, Seller will be deemed to have elected not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over such matters or exceptions. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over one or more matters or exceptions to which Purchaser has objected in its Objection Notice, then, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver Seller written notice that Purchaser has elected to either (1) waive the matters or exceptions which Seller has elected, or been deemed to have elected, not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over (in which event such matters or exceptions shall be Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser will close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or (2) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Further, if Seller elects to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over any matters or exceptions and fails to do so on or before the Closing Date (provided that Seller may extend the Closing Date for such period as shall be reasonably required to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over such matters and exceptions (but not exceeding

thirty (30) days)), Purchaser shall have the option, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to either (i) waive the unsatisfied objections (in which event such matters or exceptions shall be Permitted Exceptions) and close, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser (and, promptly after Seller’s receipt of invoices and reasonable documentation showing the cost of Purchaser’s due diligence and copies of any reports received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to reimbursement for its documented actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses paid to third parties unrelated to Purchaser (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) and incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby to the date of termination in an amount not to exceed $400,000 (collectively, the “Pursuit Costs”)), at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall consummate the Closing and accept title to the Property subject to all such exceptions and matters (in which event, all such exceptions and matters shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.1, by executing and delivering this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has elected to waive the matters or exceptions which Seller has elected, or been deemed to have elected, not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over and, in accordance with clause (1) above, such matters or exceptions shall be Permitted Exceptions.

3.2    Matters After the Objection Date. Between the expiration of the Objection Period and the Closing Date, Purchaser may notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of Purchaser’s objections to any exceptions to title that (i) materially and adversely affect Purchaser or the Property, and (ii) were not disclosed by the Title Commitment (or an update thereto received by Purchaser prior to expiration of the Objection Period) (it being acknowledged and agreed that the items set forth on Exhibit F of the Company Disclosure Letter shall in no way limit Purchaser’s right to object to any exceptions to title that satisfy clauses (i) and (ii) above); provided, however, Purchaser must notify Seller of each such objection within three (3) Business Days after receiving written notice from Title Insurer of the existence of same (but in no event later than noon Central Time on the Closing Date); provided, further, however, in no event shall a Gap Notice include any objection to any exception to title related to the Easement Agreement or the depiction of the Easement Agreement on the Survey or any update of the Survey. If Purchaser delivers a Gap Notice to Seller, Purchaser and Seller shall have the same rights and obligations with respect to the objections contained within the Gap Notice as with respect to the objections made, if any, prior to the expiration of the Objection Period pursuant to Section 3.1, except that (i) Seller shall issue Seller’s Response to the Gap Notice within three (3) Business Days after receiving the Gap Notice and, if Seller either elects or is deemed to have elected not to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over any exception(s) raised in the Gap Notice, Purchaser shall either waive such exception(s) or terminate this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (1) and (2) of Section 3.1 above prior to the date that is two (2) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Response to the Gap Notice (or, if Seller’s Response to the Gap Notice is not timely delivered, the expiration of the time permitted for Seller to issue Seller’s

Response to the Gap Notice) (the “Gap Notice Response Period”), and (ii) the Closing Date shall be automatically extended until the expiration of the Gap Notice Response Period if such period extends beyond the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any new exceptions to, or matters affecting, title arise as a result of a breach by Seller of the terms of this Agreement and Seller elects not to or fails to cause Title Insurer to remove or endorse over any exception(s) raised in the Gap Notice, then, in addition to the above, the provisions of Section 7.1 shall apply.

3.3    Voluntary Liens. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall cause all Voluntary Liens to be fully satisfied, released, removed and discharged of record on or prior to the Closing Date at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and may be paid from proceeds of Closing. The term “Voluntary Lien” as used herein shall mean a lien or encumbrance affecting the Property and/or the Membership Interests that evidences or secures an outstanding obligation of Nine Penn Owner or Seller under (a) any mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing statement, or any other instrument which secures any monetary obligation of Nine Penn Owner or Seller and which was granted to the beneficiary thereof by Seller or its affiliates to secure such obligation, (b) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or other similar liens, which can be fully and finally satisfied and discharged by the payment of a liquidated or pre-determined sum to the beneficiary thereof and that, in each event, is created by Seller or its affiliates, (iii) any lien for unpaid delinquent real estate taxes affecting the Property or Taxes of Nine Penn Owner (other than Taxes not yet due and payable), (iv) any lien securing an outstanding judgment against Seller or its affiliates, (v) any other monetary lien created by Seller or its affiliates that can be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated or pre-determined sum, and (vi) any encumbrance voluntarily created or voluntarily placed by Seller or its affiliates against the Property or the Membership Interests from and after the date of the Title Commitment, which is not approved by Purchaser. For greater certainty, all references to Seller’s affiliates under this Section 3.3 shall include Nine Penn Owner.

4.    CLOSING. The payment of the Purchase Price, the transfer of the Membership Interests, and the satisfaction of all other terms and conditions of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) shall occur at noon Chicago time on March 15, 2019 (such day being sometimes referred to as the “Closing Date”), through escrow at the office of Title Insurer; provided that Purchaser shall have the one-time right to extend the Closing Date to a date that is on or before March 27, 2019 by written notice of its election to extend delivered to Seller prior to 4:00 p.m. Chicago time on March 14, 2019, which written notice shall (a) include the new Closing Date to which Closing is being extended and (b) be effective to extend the Closing only if Seller receives written confirmation from the Escrow Agent (which confirmation may be in the form of an email) that Purchaser has delivered to Escrow Agent, prior to 4:00 p.m. Chicago time on March 14, 2019, an extension deposit in the amount of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Extension Deposit”) to be held and applied as Earnest Money (for clarification, the aggregate Earnest Money deposit following Purchaser’s exercise of its extension right shall be Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000)). If the date for Closing provided above falls on a day which is not a Business Day, then the Closing Date will be the next Business Day.

At Closing, Seller shall execute (as necessary) and deliver to Purchaser (either through escrow or as otherwise provided below) each of the documents described below: (i) an assignment of the Membership Interests of Seller and the assumption thereof by Purchaser, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (“Assignment of Membership Interests”), executed by Seller; (ii) resignation letters from each officer, director and/or manager of Nine Penn Owner, in each case effective as of the Closing Date, (iii) one original notice letter to tenants, substantially in the form attached the Company Disclosure Letter as Exhibit H; (iv) one original notice letter to each vendor or contractor under an Assignable Service Contract or Assignable Construction Contract, substantially in the form attached the Company Disclosure Letter as Exhibit I; (v) Seller’s non-foreign affidavit, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J; (vi) one counterpart of the Joint Closing Statement (as defined in Section 4.3 below); (vii) one counterpart of the final and agreed-upon closing statement prepared by Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agent’s Closing Statement”); (viii) evidence of termination of (a) any existing master property management agreement with Equity Commonwealth Management LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“EQC Management”), (b) any existing sub-management agreement with the property management company identified in the Company Disclosure Letter (“Property Manager”), (c) the Brokerage Agreements, (d) all Service Contracts and Utility Agreements that Seller is required to terminate pursuant to this Agreement, and (e) the amenities lease from Nine Penn Owner, as landlord, and EQC Management, as tenant (unless Purchaser shall provide to Seller written notice on or before five (5) days prior to the Closing Date of Purchaser’s election to accept an assignment of such lease, in which event Seller shall cause such lease to be assigned to Purchaser or its nominee at Closing); (ix) a list of Protected Tenants (as defined in Section 4.3.7.2 below); (x) subject to Section 9.2 below, a certificate of Seller stating that the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 9.1 of this Agreement are true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing; (xi) a certification statement issued by the Philadelphia Department of Licenses and Inspections; and (xii) an updated rent roll in the same form attached to this Agreement dated no earlier than three (3) Business Days prior to Closing and certified by Seller as the operational rent roll used by Nine Penn Owner in the operation and management of the Property.

4.3    Closing Prorations and Adjustments. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing. Seller shall prepare a statement of the prorations and adjustments required by this Agreement (the “Joint Closing Statement”) and submit it to Purchaser for approval at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. The items listed below are to be prorated or adjusted as of the close of business on the Closing Date (it being understood that, for purposes of prorations and adjustments, Seller shall be deemed the owner of the Membership Interests on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be deemed the owner of the Membership Interests as of and from the day of the Closing Date; provided, however, that in the event any of the Leases provide that a tenant is to directly pay any of the expenses set forth below in this Section 4.3 to a third party other than Nine Penn Owner, then such amount shall not be prorated).

4.3.1    Taxes. Real estate taxes and assessments (which shall not include Transfer Taxes, which are governed by Section 4.6 below, and shall not include the City of Philadelphia use and occupancy tax (the “U&O Tax”), which is governed by this Section 4.3.1 below) shall be prorated for the period for which such taxes and assessments are payable (regardless of the period for which assessed and assuming that any assessments payable in installments are paid in installments) on the basis of the number of days in such period the Membership Interests will have been owned by Seller and Purchaser, respectively (i.e. on a cash, not an accrual, basis). If the tax bill payable during the tax year in which Closing occurs is not available at Closing, then the proration shall be made on the basis of the most recent ascertainable tax bill. Any real estate taxes or assessments paid at or prior to Closing and during the tax year in which Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If real estate taxes and assessments payable during the tax year in which Closing occurs have been determined but have not been paid before Closing, Seller shall be charged and Purchaser credited at Closing with an amount equal to that portion of such real estate taxes and assessments which relates to the period before the date of Closing, and Purchaser shall cause Nine Penn Owner to pay the real estate taxes and assessments prior to the same becoming delinquent. Any Center City District Assessments shall be prorated in the same manner as the real estate taxes and assessments set forth in this Section 4.3.1. The U&O Tax shall not be prorated by the parties. Seller and Purchaser shall each be responsible for remitting the U&O Tax to the applicable taxing authority that is collected by such party for its period of ownership of Nine Penn Owner. Seller shall file U&O Tax

reports for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs and Purchaser shall file any such reports thereafter.

4.3.2    Rent. To the extent collected by Nine Penn Owner prior to Closing, the “minimum” or “base” rent paid by tenants under the Assignable Leases for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller on the basis of the number of days of such month the Membership Interests will have been owned by Purchaser and Seller, respectively. At Closing Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for all “minimum” or “base” rent paid by tenants under the Assignable Leases for the period following the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, to the extent collected by Nine Penn Owner prior to Closing. There shall be no proration of any rent which is delinquent as of the Closing Date. Rent collected on or after the Closing Date shall be applied first to the month of Closing, then to any delinquency existing for the period thereafter and then to any delinquency for the period prior to Closing. Purchaser shall cause any rent applicable to the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Seller if, as, and when collected by Purchaser. If Seller receives any rent following Closing, then Seller shall cause any rent applicable to the period following Closing to be remitted to Purchaser if, as, and when collected by Seller. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all delinquent rent. In the event any delinquent rent is omitted from such schedule, Seller shall not be deemed to have waived its rights to such rent. Purchaser shall cause Nine Penn owner to include the amount of delinquent rent in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for three (3) months thereafter. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller a copy of each such bill submitted to tenants. After such three (3) month period following Closing, Purchaser will cause Nine Penn Owner to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants, but shall in no event be obligated to sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants and shall not be required to continue to pursue such remedies against such tenants after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. Any percentage rent collected in connection with any Assignable Leases shall be prorated at Closing in the same manner as “minimum” and “base” rent above but shall be subject to reproration after the applicable lease year is over and total revenues and breakpoint have been reconciled under the applicable Assignable Lease, with such revenues and breakpoint allocated evenly over the year in which Closing occurs on a daily basis and any amount payable from one party to the other shall be paid promptly after such reconciliation is required under the applicable Assignable Lease.

4.3.3    Security Deposits. Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of any unapplied refundable cash security deposits under the Assignable Leases. Seller shall not apply any security deposits under the Assignable Leases to any defaults by the tenant thereunder unless such tenant has vacated the Property. In addition, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at Closing any and all letters of credit and other instruments held by Nine Penn Owner as security deposits under Assignable Leases. To the extent required, Seller shall use commercially reasonable

efforts to assist Purchaser in obtaining any required amendments or modifications to such letters of credit to reflect the transfer of Membership Interests to Purchaser (e.g. change of address, substitution of acceptable signatories) and, unless and until such modifications or amendments are obtained, Seller shall provide assistance, to the extent necessary and at Purchaser’s expense, in order to draw upon any such instrument and deliver the proceeds thereof to Purchaser as and when requested by Purchaser in writing.

4.3.4    Utilities. Water, electric, telephone and all other utility and fuel charges, fuel on hand (at cost plus sales tax), and any other payments to utility companies shall be prorated. If possible, utility prorations will be handled by final meter readings on the Closing Date. If final readings are not possible, or if any such charges are not separately metered, such charges will be prorated on a daily basis based on the most recent period for which actual costs incurred are available. Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for any utility deposits that exist as of the Closing Date, to the extent such utility deposits remain in place following Closing for the benefit of Purchaser. Any refund for overpayments of utilities relating to the period of time before Closing shall be retained by Seller or remitted by Purchaser to Seller, as applicable.

4.3.5    Service Contracts. Amounts due and prepayments under Assignable Service Contracts (other than non-recurring, upfront payments made prior to Closing by any vendor to Nine Penn Owner) shall be prorated.

4.3.6    Fees Payable. Fees related to licenses and permits that remain in place following Closing for the benefit of Purchaser shall be prorated.

4.3.7.1    Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all of the following Tenant Inducement Costs (as defined below): (a) those specifically identified as Purchaser’s obligation on Exhibit K-1 of the Company Disclosure Letter; (b) those payable under a New Lease entered into in accordance with Section 9.3.1 below (in an amount equal to the amount of such costs prorated over the term of such New Lease, with Seller being responsible only for the portion of such costs based on the ratio of base rent payments received by Nine Penn Owner through the Closing Date to the total base rent payable over the term of such New Lease); and (c) those associated with existing Leases other than with respect to the current terms of such existing Leases.

Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs with respect to the current term of all existing Leases and other than those for which Purchaser is expressly responsible pursuant to Section 4.3.7.1 above.

If, as of the Closing Date, Nine Penn Owner shall have paid or provided a credit to the tenant for any Tenant Inducement Costs for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to this Section 4.3.7, Seller shall be credited with an amount equal to such Tenant Inducement Costs.

Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all leasing commissions with respect to the current term of all existing Leases and other than those for which Purchaser is expressly responsible pursuant to Section 4.3.7.2 above, including, without limitation, all of the following leasing commissions: (i) those specifically identified as Seller’s obligations on Exhibit K-2 of the Company Disclosure Letter; and (ii) any leasing commissions paid or payable in connection with any New Lease entered into in accordance with

Section 9.3.1 below (in an amount equal to the amount of such commissions prorated over the term of such New Lease, with Seller being responsible only for the portion of such commissions based on the ratio of base rent payments received by Nine Penn Owner through the Closing Date to the total base rent payable over the term of such New Lease).

“Brokerage Agreements” means the agreements described on Exhibit K-3 of the Company Disclosure Letter.

If, as of the Closing Date, Nine Penn Owner shall have paid any leasing commission for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to this Section 4.3.7, Seller shall be credited with an amount equal to such leasing commission. If, as of the Closing Date, Nine Penn Owner shall not have paid any leasing commission for which Seller is responsible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.7, Purchaser shall be credited with an amount equal to such leasing commission and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay or cause Nine Penn Owner to pay the same.

If, as of the Closing Date, Nine Penn Owner shall not have paid any costs under Assignable Construction Contracts for which Seller is responsible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.3.7, Purchaser shall be credited with an amount equal to such costs and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay the same.

If any item of income or expense set forth in this Section 4.3 is based on an estimate or is to be determined after Closing, then Seller and Purchaser shall make, and each shall be entitled to, an appropriate reproration to each such item promptly when accurate information becomes available. Any amounts due from one party to the other as a result of such reproration shall be paid promptly in cash to the party entitled thereto. [Solely for Tax purposes, such amounts shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.] Seller and Purchaser hereby covenant and agree to make available to each other for review such records as are necessary to complete such reprorations. The provisions of this Section 4.3 shall survive the Closing.

4.4    Tenant Reimbursements. Tenants under the Leases are currently paying Nine Penn Owner certain amounts (referred to herein as “Tenant Reimbursements”) based on Nine Penn Owner’s estimates for real estate taxes and assessments, common area maintenance, operating expenses and similar expenses of Nine Penn Owner (collectively, “Owner Expenses”).

4.4.1    For the Calendar Year of the Closing. To the extent collected by Nine Penn Owner prior to Closing, Tenant Reimbursements paid by tenants under the Assignable Leases for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller based on the number of days of such month the Membership Interests will have been owned by Purchaser and Seller, respectively. At Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit for all Tenant Reimbursements paid by tenants under the Assignable Leases for the period following the calendar month in which the Closing occurs, to the extent collected by Nine Penn Owner prior to Closing. There shall be no proration of such Tenant Reimbursements which are delinquent as of Closing. Tenant Reimbursements collected on or after the Closing Date shall be applied first to the month of Closing, then to any delinquency existing for the period thereafter and then to any delinquency for the period prior to Closing. Purchaser shall cause any Tenant Reimbursements applicable to the period prior to Closing to be remitted to Seller if, as, and when collected. If Seller receives any Tenant Reimbursements following Closing, then Seller shall cause any Tenant Reimbursements applicable to the period following Closing to be remitted to Purchaser if, as, and when collected by Seller. At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a schedule of all delinquent Tenant Reimbursements. In the event any delinquent Tenant Reimbursements are omitted from such schedule, Seller shall not be deemed to have waived its rights to such amounts. Purchaser shall cause Nine Penn Owner to include the amount of delinquent Tenant Reimbursements in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for three (3) months thereafter. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller a copy of each such bill submitted to tenants. After such three (3) month period following Closing, Purchaser will cause Nine Penn Owner to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants, but shall in no event be obligated to sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants and shall not be required to continue to pursue such remedies against such tenants after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date.

Not later than ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurs, Purchaser shall determine the Tenant Reimbursements paid to Nine Penn Owner by tenants and Owner Expenses for the portion of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs that Seller owned the Membership Interests. Seller shall provide to Purchaser the information necessary to make such determination.  If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Nine Penn Owner for such year is less than the amount of Owner Expenses for such year, then the difference shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with this Section and Purchaser shall promptly remit the applicable portion of such difference to Seller. If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Nine Penn Owner for the calendar year in which the Closing occurs exceeds the amount of Owner Expenses for such year, then the excess shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser in accordance with this Section and Seller shall promptly remit the applicable portion of such excess amounts to Purchaser. Upon receipt of such excess amounts, Purchaser shall be thereafter obligated to promptly remit the applicable portion to the particular tenants entitled

thereto. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from and against any losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith, arising out of or resulting from Purchaser’s failure to remit any amounts actually received from Seller to tenants in accordance with the provisions hereof. The provisions of this Section 4.4.1 shall survive Closing.

4.4.2    For Prior Calendar Years. Seller shall be responsible for the reconciliation with tenants of Tenant Reimbursements and Owner Expenses for any calendar year prior to that in which the Closing occurs. If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Nine Penn Owner for such prior years is less than the amount of Owner Expenses for such period, then, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Leases, Seller shall be entitled to bill such tenants (which may be included in Purchaser’s bills delivered to tenants after Closing) and Purchaser and Seller agree that any amounts received from tenants on account of such Tenant Reimbursements shall not be applied to any tenant delinquencies, but rather shall be remitted to, or retained by, Seller, as applicable. If the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Nine Penn Owner for such prior calendar year exceeds the amount of Owner Expenses with respect to such period, then, to the extent required under the terms of the Leases, Seller shall remit such excess amounts to the applicable tenants. In connection with the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted to make and retain copies of all Leases and all billings concerning Tenant Reimbursements for such prior years, and Purchaser covenants and agrees to provide Seller with reasonable access to the books and records pertaining to such Tenant Reimbursements, and to otherwise cooperate with Seller (at no cost to Purchaser) for the purpose of enabling Seller to adequately respond to any claim by tenants for reimbursement of Tenant Reimbursements previously paid by such tenants. The provisions of this Section 4.4.2 shall survive the Closing.

4.4.3    Other Costs.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a tenant makes a payment to Nine Penn Owner with respect to any other amount owed to Seller (for example reimbursement for a tenant improvement overrun) such amount shall be for the account of Seller and if collected by Purchaser or Nine Penn Owner, shall be promptly paid to Seller. In addition, if Nine Penn Owner bills certain amounts to a tenant in arrears (for example, reimbursement by a tenant for certain utility costs incurred by Nine Penn Owner or charges for specific services provided by Nine Penn Owner), at Seller’s written request, Purchaser shall include, or cause Nine Penn Owner to include, the amount of any such arrearages in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in question after the Closing, and shall continue to do so for three (3) months thereafter. Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller a copy of each such bill submitted to tenants. If a tenant makes a payment to Nine Penn Owner with respect to any such arrearage owed to Seller, such amount shall be for the account of Seller and, if collected by Purchaser or Nine Penn Owner after Closing, shall be promptly paid to Seller. After such three (3) month period following Closing, Purchaser will cause Nine Penn Owner to pursue remedies directly against delinquent

tenants for such arrearages, but shall in no event be obligated to sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants and shall not be required to continue to pursue such remedies against such tenants after the date that is eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 4.4.3 shall survive the Closing.

4.4.4    Rent Paid in Arrears. For any tenant or other user of the Property that makes rent payments in arrears pursuant to such tenant’s or user’s lease or other agreement with Nine Penn Owner (including, without limitation, any parking garage operator, if applicable), Purchaser agrees that upon Nine Penn Owner’s receipt after Closing of any rent payment from any such tenant or other user that is for any period of time prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller the portion of such payment that applies to the period of time prior to the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 4.4.4 shall survive the Closing.

4.5    Reservation of Rights to Contest. Seller shall retain all rights with respect to a refund, if any, of real estate and personal property taxes and assessments applicable to the 2018 calendar year and any year prior thereto and, if received by Nine Penn Owner after Closing, Purchaser shall cause Nine Penn Owner to remit the applicable portion of such taxes and assessments to Seller. Seller shall not settle any disputes (a) concerning real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for the period in which Closing occurs or (b) which would have an adverse effect on real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for any other periods following Closing, in each case without the prior written consent of Purchaser, not to be unreasonably withheld.

4.6    Transaction Costs. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 11.19) the closing costs and other costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be paid as follows: (a) Seller shall pay for (1) the base premium payable to the Title Company in connection with the issuance of the Owner’s Policy, (2) one-half (½) of all escrow fees payable to Escrow Agent, (3) one-half (½) of all transfer taxes, documentary stamps and intangible taxes and similar taxes or charges due as a result of the transfer of the Membership Interests from Seller to Purchaser (“Transfer Taxes”), and (4) the Brokerage Commission, and (b) Purchaser shall pay for (i) all title insurance costs and fees in excess of the base premium of the Owner’s Policy, including any for extended coverage, endorsements, coinsurance or reinsurance, and any loan policy charges, (ii) one-half (½) of all Transfer Taxes, (iii) all recording charges, (iv) all costs incurred in connection with obtaining the Survey (but only if the Closing occurs), (v) one-half (½) of all escrow fees payable to Escrow Agent, and (vi) all sales and use taxes, if any. Indemnified Amounts (as defined in the Company Disclosure Letter) shall not include Transfer Taxes. Seller and Purchaser shall be responsible for the fees of their respective attorneys. All other customary closing costs incurred in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement for which express provision is not made in this Agreement shall be borne in accordance with local custom (and, in the absence of local custom, shall be borne by the party which incurred the same).

4.7    Reprorations. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, all reprorations contemplated by this Agreement shall be completed within one (1) year of Closing (subject to extension solely as necessary due to the unavailability of final information, but in no event to exceed eighteen (18) months after Closing). The provisions of this Section 4.7 shall survive the Closing.

4.8    Income Support. Seller shall provide to Purchaser a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the Income Support as further detailed in the Company Disclosure Letter.

4.9    Signage Credit. Seller shall provide to Purchaser a credit at Closing in an amount equal to the Remaining Signage Costs as further detailed in the Company Disclosure Letter.

5.    CASUALTY LOSS AND CONDEMNATION. If, prior to Closing, the Property, or any part thereof shall be condemned, destroyed, or damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly so notify Purchaser. In the event of a Material Loss (as defined below), either Seller or Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to the other party within fifteen (15) days of the date Seller provides notice to Purchaser of the Material Loss (but no later than the Closing). If either (x) the condemnation, destruction or damage does not result in a Material Loss or (y) the condemnation, destruction or damage does result in a Material Loss and neither Seller nor Purchaser provides notice to the other party within such fifteen (15) day period of its election to terminate this Agreement, then Seller and Purchaser shall consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such condemnation, destruction or damage. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, then (i) in the case of a condemnation, Purchaser, as the owner of the Membership Interests after Closing, shall be entitled to receive any condemnation proceeds, and (ii) in the case of a casualty, Purchaser, as the owner of the Membership Interests after Closing, shall be entitled to receive (A) any proceeds of insurance under any policy(ies) of insurance applicable to the destruction or damage of the Property, (B) the amount of any deductible, and (C) any remaining cost to repair not covered by insurance (if any); all net of repair costs incurred and paid by Nine Penn Owner prior to Closing. In addition, in the event Closing occurs, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller at Closing a release in form reasonably satisfactory to Seller whereby Purchaser releases Seller from all ongoing liability and/or claims in connection with such condemnation or casualty, provided that Purchaser shall have received each of the items set forth in sub-clauses (A) through (C) of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, and provided further that Seller agrees to collaborate after the Closing with the insurance adjuster retained by the parties in connection with such casualty. If either party elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 5, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 5, a “Material Loss” means condemnation, damage or destruction that (x) is reasonably estimated by Seller’s insurer or appraiser to cost or be valued at (as the case may be) more than the Loss Threshold (defined below), as applicable to the terminating party, as to the Property or any portion thereof, or (y) would permanently and materially impair the current use of, or access to, the Property; and

“Loss Threshold” means One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as to the Purchaser, and Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), as to the Seller.

6.    BROKERAGE. Seller agrees to pay (pursuant to a separate agreement) a brokerage commission due to the Brokerage Company identified in the Company Disclosure Letter for services rendered in connection with the sale and purchase of the Membership Interests. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser and Nine Penn Owner harmless from and against any and all claims of the Brokerage Company for the failure of Seller to pay such brokerage commission as and when required, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such claim. Seller and Purchaser shall each indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims of all other brokers and finders claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party and in any way related to the sale and purchase of the Membership Interests, this Agreement or otherwise, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the indemnified party in connection with such claim.

7.    DEFAULT AND REMEDIES.

7.1    Pre-Closing Purchaser’s Remedies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Closing does not occur due to a Seller default, then, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder and at Purchaser’s option, either (a) the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser (and, promptly after Seller’s receipt of invoices and reasonable documentation showing the cost of Purchaser’s due diligence and copies of any reports received by Purchaser, Purchaser shall have the right to reimbursement for its Pursuit Costs, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, or (b) upon notice to Seller not more than fifteen (15) days after Purchaser becomes aware of such failure, and provided an action is filed within forty-five (45) days thereafter, Purchaser may seek specific performance of this Agreement, but not damages. Purchaser’s failure to seek specific performance as aforesaid shall constitute its election to proceed under clause (a) above.

7.2    Pre-Closing Seller’s Remedies. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICAL AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF PURCHASER FAILS TO CONSUMMATE THE PURCHASE AND SALE CONTEMPLATED HEREIN AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE CLOSING AS AND WHEN REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT IN BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO DO SO. PURCHASER AND SELLER HAVE CONSIDERED CAREFULLY THE LOSS TO SELLER OCCASIONED BY TAKING THE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS OR THE PROPERTY OFF THE MARKET AS A CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEGOTIATION AND EXECUTION OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXPENSES OF SELLER INCURRED IN CONNECTION WITH THE PREPARATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER’S

PERFORMANCE HEREUNDER, AND THE OTHER DAMAGES, GENERAL AND SPECIAL, WHICH PURCHASER AND SELLER REALIZE AND RECOGNIZE SELLER WILL SUSTAIN BUT WHICH SELLER CANNOT AT THIS TIME CALCULATE WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY. BASED ON ALL THOSE CONSIDERATIONS, PURCHASER AND SELLER HAVE AGREED THAT THE DAMAGE TO SELLER IN SUCH EVENT WOULD REASONABLY BE EXPECTED TO BE EQUAL TO THE SUM OF THE EARNEST MONEY. ACCORDINGLY, IF CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE CLOSING AS AND WHEN REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT IN BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO DO SO, THEN SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, TO RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AT WHICH TIME THIS AGREEMENT SHALL, WITHOUT FURTHER ACTION OF THE PARTIES, TERMINATE AND BECOME NULL AND VOID AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 7.2 SHALL LIMIT ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION OF PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

7.3    Post-Closing Remedies. After Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement including without limitation Section 10 below, have such rights and remedies as are available at law or in equity, except that neither Seller nor Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from the other consequential or special damages.

8.    CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

8.1    Due Diligence Period. Purchaser shall have until 4:00 p.m., Chicago, Illinois time on January 29, 2019 (the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to inspect the Property, obtain any necessary internal approvals to the transaction, and satisfy itself as to all matters relating to the Membership Interests and the Property, including, but not limited to, environmental, engineering, structural, financial, title and survey matters. If Purchaser determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) that the Membership Interests and/or the Property are unsuitable for its purposes for any reason or no reason or otherwise determines (in its sole and absolute discretion) for any reason or no reason not to proceed to Closing, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser so terminates this Agreement, then the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser, at which time this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to terminate this Agreement within the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed a waiver by Purchaser of the condition contained in this Section 8.1, and thereafter the Earnest Money shall not be refunded to Purchaser except pursuant to another express provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the

contrary contained in this Agreement, by executing and delivering this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has elected to waive any right that Purchaser may have to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1. Purchaser’s right of access and inspection pursuant to this Section 8.1 shall be governed by the Access and Indemnity Agreement dated as of December 17, 2018, a copy of which is attached to the Company Disclosure Letter as Exhibit P and which is incorporated by reference into this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the Due Diligence Period is deemed to have expired, and Purchaser hereby waives its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, on the Effective Date and concurrent with the execution of this Agreement by both Purchaser and Seller.

If the foregoing condition is not satisfied and (a) such failure would result in a material adverse effect on the Membership Interests, Property or Purchaser (it being acknowledged and agreed by the parties that only a failure of the foregoing condition that relates to any matter that gives rise to, or could reasonably be expected to give rise to, any loss, damage, liability, cost or expense (including the diminution in value of the Property) (a “Loss”) in excess of $750,000 shall be deemed to have a material adverse effect on the Membership Interests, Property and Purchaser) and (b) Seller has not cured such failure as of the Closing Date (which cure may include causing the applicable representation(s) and warranty(ies) to become true and correct or crediting Purchaser at Closing for the amount of the Loss), then Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole remedy, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Earnest Money and reimbursement from Seller of Purchaser’s Pursuit Costs by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or before the earlier of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) the fifth (5^th) Business Day after Purchaser obtains knowledge or receives written notice of such failure, and upon timely delivery of such written notice to Seller, this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, terminate and become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement; provided that, in the event

that a Loss shall exceed $3,000,000, Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and obtain the return of the Earnest Money and reimbursement from Seller of Purchaser’s Pursuit Costs, notwithstanding Seller’s willingness to providing a credit at Closing for the amount of the Loss. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to its rights under this Section 8.4, then such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to take into account any such fact of which Purchaser was aware prior to or at Closing. In the event Purchaser closes with knowledge that a representation or warranty is untrue, Purchaser is prohibited from making any claims against Seller as a result thereof.

8.6    Accuracy of Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. As a condition to the obligations of Seller to close hereunder, each of Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.4 below shall be materially true and correct as of the Closing, and the failure of such condition shall be deemed a breach by Purchaser hereunder entitling Seller to exercise the remedies set forth in Section 7.2.

9.3    Covenants. Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Purchaser as to the following matters.

9.3.1    New Leases. For purposes of this Agreement, any Lease entered into after December 12, 2018 and any modification, amendment, restatement, renewal, extension, failure to exercise a cancellation option, “must take” space or otherwise entered into or occurring, if applicable, after December 12, 2018 with respect to an existing Lease shall be referred to as a “New Lease”. Seller shall not cause Nine Penn Owner to enter into any New Lease (other than an amendment, restatement, modification or renewal of any existing Lease pursuant to a right granted the tenant under such existing Lease for which Nine Penn Owner is not entitled to withhold, condition or delay its consent pursuant to the terms of such Lease) without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld, conditioned or delayed in Purchaser’s sole discretion. If Purchaser does not respond in writing to Seller’s request for approval or disapproval of a New Lease within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s request, Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have approved of such New Lease.

9.3.2    Service Contracts. Seller shall not cause Nine Penn Owner to enter into any new Service Contracts which would be binding on Nine Penn Owner after Closing, or cause Nine Penn Owner to cancel, materially modify or renew any existing Service Contracts which would be binding on Nine Penn Owner after Closing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such new Service Contracts are cancelable by Nine Penn Owner upon thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty or premium. If Purchaser fails to respond to Seller’s request for consent with respect to any such action within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s request, such consent shall be deemed given. The foregoing terms of this Section 9.3.2 shall not apply to new Service Contracts necessitated by an emergency or other circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to impending injury to person or damage to property (in which event, Seller shall only be required to endeavor to provide notice to Purchaser of such circumstances). Upon the written request of Purchaser delivered

on or prior to the date that is five (5) days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall cause Nine Penn Owner to deliver to vendors under Service Contracts specified by Purchaser, on the Closing Date, notices of termination of such Service Contracts terminating such Service Contracts in accordance with the terms thereof at no cost to Seller, except for de minimis amounts (it being understood and agreed that such Service Contracts shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Property, and that Purchaser shall assume the costs and obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, from the Closing Date until such date as such termination is effectuated in accordance with the terms of the applicable Service Contracts).

9.3.3    Construction Contracts. Seller shall not cause Nine Penn Owner to enter into any new Construction Contracts which would be binding on Nine Penn Owner after Closing, or cause Nine Penn Owner to cancel, materially modify or renew any existing Construction Contracts which would be binding on Nine Penn Owner after Closing, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless such new Construction Contracts are cancelable by Nine Penn Owner upon thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty or premium. If Purchaser fails to respond to Seller’s request for consent with respect to any such action within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s request, such consent shall be deemed given. The foregoing terms of this Section 9.3.3 shall not apply to new Construction Contracts necessitated by an emergency or other circumstance that could reasonably be expected to give rise to impending injury to person or damage to property (in which event, Seller shall only be required to endeavor to provide notice to Purchaser of such circumstances).

9.3.4    Operations. After the Effective Date, Seller shall cause Nine Penn Owner to (i) operate the Property as a Class “A” office building in the normal course of Nine Penn Owner’s business (Purchaser hereby acknowledging and agreeing that, as of the Effective Date, the Property is being operated as a Class “A” office building), (ii) maintain the Property in substantially the same condition as of the Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and subject to Section 5 above, and (iii) insure the Property with substantially the same insurance coverage as existed as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything in the preceding sentence to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be required to cause Nine Penn Owner to make any capital repairs, replacements or improvements to the Property except as may be required by the Leases to be made prior to the Closing Date.

9.3.5    Other Agreements. After the Effective Date, and except as required by law or by any of the Permitted Exceptions or as otherwise permitted under this Agreement, Seller shall not cause Nine Penn Owner to become party to agreements granting an easement or right-of-way on, under or about the Property, and Seller shall not cause Nine Penn Owner to become a party to any agreements granting easements or rights-of-way in favor of the Property or otherwise encumber, or grant interests in, the Property.

If Seller fails to perform or fails to cause Nine Penn Owner to perform any of the covenants contained in this Section 9.3 hereof and either Purchaser receives written notice thereof from Seller prior to Closing or Purchaser shall have actual knowledge of a default by Seller under this Section 9.3 prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have the rights and remedies available to Purchaser under Section 7.1 hereof, and if Purchaser elects to close, then such default by Seller shall be deemed to be waived by Purchaser at the Closing.

10.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if the Closing shall have occurred (and Purchaser shall not have waived, relinquished or released any applicable rights pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement or in any of the Closing deliveries in further limitation), then (a) the aggregate liability of Seller arising pursuant to or in connection with the representations, warranties, indemnifications, covenants or other obligations (whether express or implied) of Seller under this Agreement (or any document executed or delivered in connection herewith) shall not exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) in the aggregate (the “Liability Limitation”), provided that the Liability Limitation shall not apply to the Tax Representations or to Seller’s indemnifications of Nine Penn Owner and Purchaser with respect to the Brokerage Commission, and (b) no claim by Purchaser alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, indemnification, covenant or other obligation of Seller contained herein (or in any document executed or delivered in connection herewith) may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Purchaser against Seller alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty, indemnification, covenant or other obligation of Seller contained herein (or in any document executed or delivered in connection herewith), is for an aggregate amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto. No constituent partner or member in or agent of Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, member, partner, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any entity that is or becomes a constituent partner or member in Seller or an agent of Seller (including, but not limited to, the Trust and EQC Management) (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”) shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Purchaser and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, neither the negative capital account of any constituent partner or member in Seller, nor any obligation of any constituent partner or member in any entity owning an interest (directly or indirectly) in Seller to restore a negative capital account or to contribute capital to Seller (or any entity owning an interest, directly or indirectly, in any other constituent partner or member of Seller), shall at any time be deemed to be the property or an asset of Seller

or any such other partner or member (and neither Purchaser nor any of its successors or assigns shall have any right to collect, enforce or proceed against or with respect to any such negative capital account of such party’s obligations to restore or contribute). The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

11.    MISCELLANEOUS.

11.1    Entire Agreement. All understandings and agreements heretofore had between Seller and Purchaser with respect to the Property are merged in this Agreement (which shall be deemed to include any Exhibits to this Agreement and the Company Disclosure Letter), which alone fully and completely expresses the agreement of the parties.

11.2    Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any interest hereunder shall be assigned or transferred by Purchaser without Seller’s written consent; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required with respect to Purchaser’s assignment to one or more entities (each such entity, a “Permitted Assignee”) that (a) (x) are wholly owned, directly or indirectly by, or (y) controlled by or under the common control of, Purchaser, and (b) delivers, on or before the date that is ten (10) Business Days before the Closing Date, to Seller a duly executed assumption of all of the duties and obligations of Purchaser by the proposed assignee (including an express statement of the representation and warranty in Section 9.4.5 above). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Seller understands that Purchaser is entering into this Agreement as agent and for the benefit of its nominees and designees, which have been created and shall be disclosed to Seller prior to Closing. Seller further understands that Purchaser is acting as a ‘straw party” for such nominees and designees, has no intent to obtain legal or equitable title to the Membership Interests and that, prior to or concurrent with Closing, Purchaser shall assign this Agreement, and shall be permitted to do so without Seller’s consent, to such two nominees and designees that are Permitted Assignees as follows: (a) Purchaser intends to assign this Agreement with respect to Trust’s 99.75% of the Membership Interests to one such nominee and designee, and (b) Purchaser intends to assign this Agreement with respect to TRS Inc.’s 0.25% of the Membership Interests to the other such nominee and designee. Upon the occurrence of the assignment of this Agreement to such two nominees and designees in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.2, Purchaser shall be released from any and all duties and obligations to Seller provided for under this Agreement, and the closing documents shall reflect the names of the two nominees and designees rather than Purchaser; provided, however, if any Transfer Tax shall be due and owing in connection with any assignment of this Agreement by Purchaser, then Purchaser and any assignees of Purchaser’s interest in this Agreement shall be responsible for payment of same and agree to indemnify and hold harmless Seller from any liability for such Transfer Taxes. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns.

11.3    Modifications. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in a written document signed by Seller and Purchaser.

11.4    Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. In the computation of any period of time provided for in this Agreement or by law, the day of the act or event from which the period of time runs shall be excluded, and the last day of such period shall be included unless it is not a Business Day, in which event the period shall be deemed to run until the next Business Day.

Either party hereto may change the address for receiving notices, requests, demands or other communication by notice sent in accordance with the terms of this Section 11.6.

ANY INFORMATION, REPORTS, STATEMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR RECORDS (COLLECTIVELY, THE “DISCLOSURES”) PROVIDED OR MADE TO PURCHASER OR ITS CONSTITUENTS BY SELLER OR ANY OF SELLER’S AFFILIATES SHALL NOT BE REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. PURCHASER HAS NOT AND SHALL NOT RELY ON SUCH DISCLOSURES, BUT RATHER, PURCHASER SHALL RELY ONLY ON ITS OWN INSPECTION OF THE PROPERTY. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PURCHASE PRICE REFLECTS AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD “AS IS”. PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, SUBJECT TO THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.1 ABOVE, SELLER HAS NOT MADE, DOES NOT MAKE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES, COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS OR GUARANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE, OF, AS TO, CONCERNING OR WITH RESPECT TO (A) THE NATURE, QUALITY OR CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE WATER, SOIL AND GEOLOGY; (B) THE INCOME TO BE DERIVED FROM THE PROPERTY, (C) THE SUITABILITY OF THE PROPERTY FOR ANY AND ALL ACTIVITIES AND USES WHICH PURCHASER MAY CONDUCT THEREON, (D) THE COMPLIANCE OF OR BY THE PROPERTY OR ITS OPERATION WITH

The provisions of this Section 11.7 shall survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
