4.3.3        Proration Review.  Within sixty (60) days after the Closing, Extra Space and HSRE-ESP shall review the prorations as specified in Sections 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 above in accordance with the provisions of Exhibit D attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof, with any payments that are called for by such review to be made by the applicable party in cash.  The provisions of this Section 4.3.3 shall survive the Closing.

11

in this Section 4.3.4, if the Closing does not occur, no party to this Agreement shall be responsible for reimbursing any other party to this Agreement for fees, expenses costs incurred by or for the benefit of such party except as expressly provided otherwise in Section 13.1.2 below.

8.2.1        Inspections in General.  During the Due Diligence Period, HSRE, its agents, and employees shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at HSRE’s sole risk, cost and expense.  Before any such entry, HSRE shall provide Extra Space with a certificate of insurance naming Extra Space as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Extra Space.  All such entries upon the Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least 24 hours prior notice to Extra Space or Extra Space’s agent, and Extra Space or Extra Space’s agent shall have the right to accompany HSRE during any inspection activities performed by HSRE on the Property.  HSRE shall not disturb the tenants on the Property, and HSRE’s inspection shall be subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases.  During the Due Diligence Period, Extra Space shall provide to HSRE, from time to time at the request of HSRE, copies of current reports and information with respect to the Facilities which are available from the Center Shift property management system (“Center Shift”).  If any inspection or test disturbs the Property, HSRE will restore the Property to the same condition as existed before the inspection or test.  HSRE shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Extra Space and Extra Space’s partners and their respective shareholders, directors, officers, affiliates, tenants, agents, contractors, employees, successors and assigns (“Extra Space Related Parties”) and the Property from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in

24

connection with any entry or inspections performed by HSRE, its agents or representatives.  The provisions of this Section 8.2.1 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

8.2.2        Environmental Inspections.  The inspections permitted under Section 8.2, may include a non-invasive Phase I environmental inspection of the Property, but no Phase II environmental inspection or other invasive inspection or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspection or any other inspection, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Extra Space, which may be withheld in Extra Space’s sole and absolute discretion, and if consented to by Extra Space, the proposed scope of work and the party who will perform the work shall be subject to Extra Space’s review and approval.  HSRE shall deliver to Extra Space copies of any Phase I, Phase II or other environmental report to which Extra Space consents as provided above.

8.2.3        Title and Survey Review.  During the Due Diligence Period, HSRE shall review:  Extra Space’s existing title insurance policies with respect to the Property and Extra Space’s existing surveys with respect to the Property.  HSRE may order, at HSRE’s expense, updates on the existing surveys.  HSRE may, at its sole expense, obtain during the Due Diligence Period any additional title commitment(s) (the “Title Commitments”) from Chicago Title Insurance Company, National Office, at 171 N. Clark Street, 3rd Floor, Chicago, IL 60601, Attention: Ronald K. Szopa, as the “Escrow Agent” or “Title Insurer”, or survey updates desired by HSRE.  HSRE shall work directly with the Title Insurer to resolve any objections to exceptions set forth on the Title Commitments and shall provide Extra Space with copies of final, revised Title Commitments or pro forma policies, which set forth only those title exceptions that have been accepted by HSRE (the “Approved Title Matters”).  Extra Space shall have no obligation to remove any exceptions to title reflected on the Title Commitments except liens of an ascertainable amount created by Extra Space (but specifically not including liens to secure the Existing Indebtedness), including mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens filed against the Extra Space and judgment liens filed against the Property with respect to judgments obtained against Extra Space, which liens Extra Space shall cause to be removed as exceptions to the Title Policy at Closing (and if Extra Space fails to remove such matters as exceptions, by bonding over such matters or otherwise, HSRE may direct that a portion of the Extra Space Distribution Amount be applied to remove same).  Extra Space further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by Extra Space after the date of this Agreement without HSRE’s consent.  HSRE may terminate this Agreement if the Title Company revises the Title Report after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add exceptions if such additions are not reasonably acceptable to HSRE and are not removed as exceptions to the Title Policy at Closing.

8.3           Termination During Due Diligence Period.  If HSRE determines, in its sole discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Property is

25

unacceptable for HSRE’s purposes, HSRE shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Extra Space written notice of termination before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and neither party shall have any further rights or liabilities hereunder except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

8.4           Approval of Annual Business Plan and Annual Operating Budget.  At least ten business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Extra Space shall prepare and submit to HSRE, an Annual Business Plan and Annual Operating Budget (as defined in the HSRE-ESP Operating Agreement) for review and approval by HSRE.

9.             DAMAGE TO PROPERTY.

If before the Closing one or more of the Facilities is materially or adversely affected in any way as a result of any fire, flood, earthquake, similar acts of nature or other acts of destruction which involves damage requiring repair and restoration costs of less than or equal to Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), the parties shall be obligated to proceed with the Closing.  In that event, if (A) the amount of the insurance proceeds available for such loss have been determined prior to the Closing Date, then the difference between (i) the cost of repairing and restoring such Facilities and (ii) the total amount of insurance proceeds payable with respect to such material adverse change (the “Casualty Adjustment Amount”) shall be treated as a “cost” which is charged to Extra Space for purposes of determining the Extra Space Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 2.2.2 above, or (B) the amount of the insurance proceeds available for such loss have not been determined prior to the Closing Date, then the right to receive such insurance proceeds shall be assigned to HSRE-ESP or the title holder of the applicable property, and Extra Space shall pay the Casualty Adjustment Amount to HSRE-ESP within ten (10) days after such amount has been determined.  If the material or adverse change involves damage requiring repair and restoration costs in excess of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or more (a “Major Event”), the parties shall proceed to Closing with the Facilities being transferred in their un-restored condition together with any insurance proceeds or the right to receive such insurance proceeds, and the rights to any other claims arising as a result of such material or adverse change, in which event, the amount of any “deductible” from the insurance proceeds payable with respect to such material or adverse change shall be treated as a “cost” which is charged to Extra Space for purposes of determining the Extra Space Distribution Amount pursuant to Section 2.2.2 above; provided, however, that HSRE shall have the right, exercisable within twenty (20) days of the occurrence of such Major Event, to terminate this Agreement (and if such Major Event results in uninsured repair and restoration costs in excess of $500,000, either Extra Space or HSRE shall have the right to so terminate this Agreement), in which event, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the parties shall have no further obligations to each other under this Agreement.

10.          EMINENT DOMAIN.

If, before Closing, proceedings, are commenced or threatened for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain (a “Taking”) of all or a “material” (as defined below) part of any of the Facilities, each of Extra Space or HSRE shall have the right, by giving written notice

26

to the other within twenty (20) days after Extra Space gives HSRE written notice of the commencement of such proceedings or the threat to commence such proceedings, to terminate this Agreement, in which event, except as specifically provided otherwise in this Agreement, the parties shall have no further obligations to each other under this Agreement.  If, before the Closing, proceedings are commenced or threatened for a Taking of less than such a “material” part of a Facility, or if neither Extra Space nor HSRE exercises the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Closing, the condemnation award (or, if not therefore received, the right to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the Taking shall constitute an asset of the owner of such Facility (i.e., either ESP 52 or ESP Maryland Two) and, as such, shall be part of the Property.  Extra Space shall give written notice to HSRE within ten (10) business days after Extra Space receives notice of the commencement of any proceedings for a Taking of all or any part of a Facility.  For purposes of this Section 10 a Taking of any portion of a Facility shall be “material” if such Taking would render such Facility unsuitable, in the reasonable determination of Extra Space and HSRE, for use as a self storage facility in the same manner in which such Facility has historically been used by Extra Space.

11.          CONDITIONS PRECEDENT.

11.1         HSRE’s Conditions Precedent.  The obligations of HSRE under this Agreement are contingent upon any one or more of the following, the failure of any of which shall, upon written notice by HSRE to Extra Space, render this Agreement and the HSRE Operating Agreement null and void:

13.          DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES.

13.1         HSRE’s Remedies.

13.1.1      Pre-Closing Default.  In the event that prior to Closing, Extra Space breaches in any material respect any warranty or representation contained in this Agreement or fails in any material respect to comply with or perform any of the conditions to be complied with or any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by Extra Space under the terms and provisions of this Agreement and such breach or failure continues for a period of ten (10) business

28

days after written notice thereof from HSRE to Extra Space, HSRE, as HSRE’s exclusive remedies, shall be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Extra Space, whereupon, except as provided below in this Section 13.1.1 and except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement; or (ii) enforce specific performance of Extra Space’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13.1.1, in the event of a termination by HSRE under (i) above, Extra Space shall, upon demand from HSRE, reimburse HSRE for the actual and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid or incurred by HSRE in connection with this Agreement and/or HSRE’s investigation or inspection of the Property in an amount not to exceed Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00).  HSRE expressly agrees that in no event shall Extra Space be liable for any special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages whatsoever (including, without limitation, loss of business profits or opportunity) and by execution of this Agreement, HSRE waives any right to claim or seek any such damages.  The provisions of this Section 13.1.1 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT D

ARBITRATION AND PRORATION REVIEW

1.             Post Closing True-Up.  Within sixty (60) calendar days after Closing, Extra Space shall recalculate the Prorations (other than prorations of real estate and personal property taxes that are based on a tax bill for a period prior to the year in which the Closing occurs, which prorations shall be recalculated upon receipt of the current tax bill for the year in which the Closing occurs, as set forth in Section 4.3.2.1) as of the Proration Date as set forth in Section 4.3 of the Agreement (the “Proration Recalculation”) and shall send a copy of the Proration Recalculation to HSRE.  Extra Space and HSRE shall each have an opportunity to provide the other with a review (a “Review”) of the Proration Recalculation setting forth in reasonable detail any discrepancy which it has discovered in the Prorations made at the Closing or in the Proration Recalculation.  If either party to which the Proration Recalculation is presented does not provide the other party with a Review within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Proration Recalculation, such party shall be deemed to be in agreement with the Proration Recalculation.  If either party to which any such Review is presented disagrees with such Review, it shall give written notice (the “Disagreement Notice”) to the other party within ten (10) business days after receipt of such Review (and, if no such notice is given, the party to which such Review was presented shall be deemed to agree with it).  Such Disagreement Notice shall detail all points of disagreement.  If Extra Space and HSRE do not resolve such disagreement within ten (10) business days after delivery of the Disagreement Notice, the parties shall proceed to arbitration.  If the parties agree or are deemed to agree with either the Proration Recalculation or the Review or if there is an arbitration award, then Extra Space or HSRE shall, as applicable, pay to the other party, in cash, the amount owed within ten (10) days of the date of such agreement or deemed agreement or such arbitration award, as applicable.

2.             Dispute Resolution.  Any controversy or claim between or among the parties hereto relating to or arising from the either the Review or the Proration Recalculation shall be determined by binding arbitration in Cook County, Illinois in accordance with one of the following as selected by HSRE:

a.               the Rules of Practice and Procedure for the Arbitration of Commercial Disputes of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (J.A.M.S.) or

b.              the Rules of  Practice and Procedure of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), or

c.               the Special Rules of an individual mutually agreed upon by the parties.  The Special Rules shall be those determined by an individual arbitrator agreed upon by the parties, and shall require that all arbitration hearings will be commenced within ninety (90) days of the demand for arbitration, and that the arbitrator shall only, upon a showing of cause, be permitted to extend the commencement of such hearing for an additional sixty (60) days.

Judgment upon any arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.  Any party hereto may bring an action, including a summary or expedited proceeding, to compel arbitration of any controversy or claim to which this provision applies in any court having jurisdiction over such action in Cook County, Illinois.

In the event of a controversy or claim between the parties which is subject to arbitration pursuant to this Exhibit D, either party may give written notice (“Arbitration Notice”) to the other requesting arbitration.  If HSRE requests an individual arbitrator and the parties have not agreed upon an individual within ten (10) days after delivery of the Arbitration Notice, then AAA shall apply.

1

The prevailing party in such arbitration or in any proceeding to compel or enforce such arbitration shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
