All additional costs and expenses incurred by the Sellers in connection with this Agreement, including additional legal fees, accounting fees, financial advisory fees and other professional and non-professional fees and expenses shall be paid by the Sellers.

Section 6.6 Release. As a material inducement to GMRE to enter into this Agreement, effective as of the Closing, each Seller, on behalf of itself, and on behalf of its equity holders, Affiliates and Representatives, agrees not to sue and fully releases and discharges each IA Group Company and GMRE and its respective Affiliates (but excluding any Seller), Representatives (but excluding any Seller), assigns and successors (collectively, the “GMRE Releasees”) with respect to and from any and all Losses, Liens, Liabilities (including employment contracts and management fee arrangements), covenants or Proceedings, of whatever kind or nature in Law, equity or otherwise, whether now known or unknown, and whether or not concealed or hidden, all of which such Seller now owns or holds or has at any time owned or held against the GMRE Releasees; provided, that nothing in this Section 6.6 will be deemed to constitute a release by any Seller of any right to (A) enforce its rights under this Agreement or (B) assert any claim for indemnification arising under the Management Agreement. It is the intention of each Seller that such release be effective as a bar to each Proceeding hereinabove specified. In furtherance of this intention each Seller hereby expressly waives, effective as of the Closing, any and all rights and benefits conferred upon it by the provisions of Law in connection with any such Proceeding and expressly consents that this release will be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those related to unknown and unsuspected claims, demands and causes of action, if any.

Section 6.7 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Each of the Sellers and Zhang (collectively, solely for the purpose of this Section 6.7, the “Restricted Parties” and each a “Restricted Party”) acknowledges and agrees that: (i) such Restricted Party is deriving substantial value and proceeds from the transactions contemplated hereby; (ii) the restrictions (including the duration, geographic scope, and activity restrictions) applicable to such Restricted Party in this Section 6.7 are necessary, fair, reasonable, fundamental and required for the protection of GMRE and its Subsidiaries (including the IA Group Companies) after the Closing Date, including the protection of the goodwill that the Restricted Parties are conveying or causing to be conveyed hereunder; (iii) such restrictions relate to matters that are of a special, unique and extraordinary value; (iv) GMRE has required that such Restricted Party agree to such restrictions, and such Restricted Party has voluntarily agreed to such restrictions; and (v) such Restricted Party’s covenants set forth in this Section 6.7 are a material inducement for GMRE to enter into this Agreement, and GMRE would not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby if such Restricted Party did not enter into such restrictions.

(b) Each Restricted Party covenants that, commencing on the Closing Date and ending on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), such Restricted Party shall not, and shall cause his or its respective Affiliates not to, engage directly or indirectly in, in any capacity, or have any direct or indirect ownership interest in, or permit such Restricted Party’s or any such Affiliate’s name to be used in connection with, any business in the world other than Asia which is engaged in the business of acquiring or owning healthcare or healthcare-related real estate in the United States (the “Restricted Business”); provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict the Restricted Parties, or any of their respective Affiliates from any of the following:

(i) owning equity interests, indebtedness or other securities of the equity capital of GMRE or any of its Subsidiaries or serving as a director, executive officer or employee of GMRE or any of its Subsidiaries; or

(ii) owning (as a passive investment) equity interests, indebtedness or other securities representing not more than five percent (5%) of the equity capital of a company that is engaged in the Restricted Business, so long as the Restricted Party is not otherwise associated with the management or operation of such company, including by serving on the board of directors or holding any other similar governing position.

(c) Each Restricted Party acknowledges that the Restricted Business as conducted by GMRE and its Subsidiaries (including, following the Closing, any IA Group Company) following the Closing Date is expected to be conducted throughout the United States and that more narrow geographical limitations of any nature on the non-competition covenant set forth in Section 6.7(b) would not be appropriate or sufficient to protect GMRE’s legitimate business interests.

(d) Each Restricted Party covenants that, during the Restricted Period, such Restricted Party shall not, and it shall cause its Affiliates not to, solicit the employment or engagement of services of, or hire, any person who is an Employee or any other person who is, or was during the three (3) month period immediately prior to such solicitation, employed or engaged as an employee, contractor or consultant, by GMRE or any of its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any IA Group Company following the Closing) during such period on a full- or part-time basis or encourage or induce any such person to terminate his or her employment or engagement with GMRE or any of its Subsidiaries. The foregoing shall not prohibit (i) any general solicitation of employees, contractors or consultants through public advertising of employment opportunities (including through the use of employment agencies) not specifically directed at any Employee or any such other employees, contractors or consultants, (ii) a Restricted Party or its Affiliates from hiring any such employee, contractor or consultant who seeks employment or engagement with the Restricted Party or its Affiliate on his or her own initiative at any time after three (3) months have elapsed since such individual last served as an employee, contractor or consultant of GMRE or any of its Subsidiaries, without any prior solicitation by the Restricted Party or any of its Affiliates, or (iii) the employment of the persons set forth on Section 6.7(d) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

(e) Each Restricted Party acknowledges that any violation of this Section 6.7 shall result in irreparable injury to GMRE and agrees that GMRE shall be entitled to seek and obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond, as well as an equitable accounting of all earnings, profits and other benefits arising from any violation of this Section 6.7, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to all other rights or remedies to which GMRE may be entitled.

(f) The Restricted Parties expressly acknowledge that the limitations set forth herein are reasonable in all respects. Nonetheless, in the event that any covenant contained in this Section 6.7 (or part thereof) should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant (or part thereof), and such covenant (or part thereof) shall be deemed reformed in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service, or other limitations permitted by applicable Law. The covenants contained in this Section 6.7 and each provision and part thereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision or part thereof as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions or parts hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision or part thereof in any other jurisdiction.

Section 6.8 Tax Matters.

(a) Preparation of Tax Returns.

(i) The Sellers shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the IA Group Companies for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. The Sellers shall submit each such Tax Return to GMRE at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account any extensions), GMRE shall have the right to review and timely comment on such Tax Return, and the Sellers shall consider in good faith such timely comments from GMRE on such Tax Return to the extent such comments are not inconsistent with the standard set forth in the previous sentence. GMRE and the Sellers will consult and resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of the reasonable review of and comment on such Tax Return. In the event GMRE and the Sellers are unable to resolve any such dispute (the “Disputed Tax Items”), GMRE and the Sellers shall submit the remaining Disputed Tax Items for resolution to a nationally recognized accounting firm mutually agreed on by GMRE and the Sellers acting reasonably (the “Accountants”). The Accountants shall determine the proper treatment of the Disputed Tax Items in accordance with applicable Tax Law and this Section 6.8(a)(i) and the applicable Tax Return shall be revised to reflect such determination. Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or a final determination (as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code), neither GMRE nor the Sellers shall take any position inconsistent with the Accountants’ determination in any Tax Return or any judicial, administrative, or other proceeding. In the event the Accountants are unable to resolve such Disputed Tax Items prior to the due date of any Tax Return to which any Disputed Tax Item is relevant, the applicable Tax Return shall be filed in a manner as reasonably determined by the Sellers in a manner consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Each of GMRE and the Sellers will be afforded the opportunity to present to the Accountants any material such party deems relevant to the Accountants’ determination. GMRE and the IA Group Representative shall each furnish (or cause to be furnished) to the Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the remaining Disputed Tax Items as the Accountants may request. The fees, disbursements, costs, and expenses of the Accountants shall be allocated between and paid by GMRE and the Sellers, on a joint and several basis, in proportion to the relative merits of their respective positions, as determined by the Accountants with finality; provided that if the Accountants are unable or unwilling to make such determination, the fees, disbursements, costs, and expenses of the Accountants shall be equally allocated between and paid by GMRE and the Sellers, on a joint and several basis. Not later than ten (10) calendar days to the due date for payment of Taxes with respect to any such Tax Return for a Pre-Closing Period, the IA Group Representative shall cause the amount of any Seller Taxes with respect to such Tax Return to be paid to GMRE.

(ii) GMRE shall prepare or cause to be prepared and timely file or cause to be timely filed all Tax Returns of the IA Group Companies for any Straddle Periods. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared and filed in a manner consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. GMRE shall submit each such Tax Return to the IA Group Representative at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date for the filing of such Tax Return (taking into account any extensions), Sellers shall have the right to review and timely comment on such Tax Return, and GMRE shall consider in good faith such timely comments from the Sellers on such Tax Return to the extent such comments are not inconsistent with the standard set forth in the previous sentence. GMRE and the Sellers will consult and resolve in good faith any issues arising as a result of the reasonable review of and comment on such Tax Return. In the event GMRE and the Sellers are unable to resolve any Disputed Tax Items relating to such Tax Return, GMRE and the Sellers shall submit the remaining Disputed Tax Items for resolution to the Accountants, who shall resolve such Disputed Tax Items in a manner consistent with the procedures set forth in Section 6.8(a)(i); provided, that in the event the Accountants are unable to resolve such Disputed Tax Items prior to the due date of any Tax Return to which any Disputed Tax Item is relevant, the applicable Tax Return shall be filed in a manner as reasonably determined by GMRE in a manner consistent with past practice, unless otherwise required by applicable Law. Not later than ten (10) calendar days to the due date for payment of Taxes with respect to any such Tax Return for a Straddle Period, the IA Group Representative shall cause the amount of any Seller Taxes with respect to such Tax Return to be paid to GMRE.

(b) Proration of Straddle Period Taxes. In the case of Taxes that are payable with respect to any Straddle Period, the portion of any such Taxes that is attributable to the portion of the period ending on the Closing Date shall be:

(i) in the case of Taxes that are either (A) based upon or related to income or receipts, or (B) imposed in connection with any sale or other transfer or assignment of property (real or personal, tangible or intangible), deemed equal to the amount that would be payable if the Tax period of the applicable IA Group Company ended with (and included) the Closing Date; provided that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (including depreciation and amortization deductions) shall be allocated between the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the period beginning after the Closing Date in proportion to the number of days in each period; and

(ii) in the case of Taxes that are imposed on a periodic basis with respect to the assets or capital of the applicable IA Group Company, deemed to be the amount of such Taxes for the entire Straddle Period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period), multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the portion of the period ending on and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire period.

(c) Tax Proceedings. The IA Group Representative, on the one hand, and GMRE, on the other hand, shall reasonably cooperate, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, employees, contractors, consultants, and Representatives to reasonably cooperate with each other in preparing and filing all Tax Returns, any audit, litigation, or other proceeding (each, a “Tax Proceeding”), and in all other matters relating to Taxes of the IA Group Companies for any Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Straddle Period, including by maintaining and making available to each other all books and records relating to such Taxes. The parties shall retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the IA Group Companies relating to the Pre-Closing Tax Period and any Straddle Period, in each case, until the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations, and shall abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Governmental Entity for all periods required by such Governmental Entity. Notwithstanding the above, the control of any Tax Proceeding that is a Third Party Claim shall be governed by Section 7.5(b).

(d) Section 6043A. To the extent Section 6043A of the Code applies to the Transactions, the parties to this Agreement shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with all information as is reasonably necessary for the parties to this Agreement to satisfy the reporting obligations under Section 6043A of the Code.

(e) No Section 338 Election. Neither the Sellers nor GMRE shall make or cause to be made an election pursuant to Section 338 of the Code or any similar provision of state or local Law with respect to the Transactions. The Sellers and GMRE each shall file their respective Tax Returns consistent with the intended tax treatment described in Section 2.6.

Article VII
INDEMNIFICATION

Section 7.1 Survival Periods. Except with respect to the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.13 (the “Tax Matters Representations”) and the Seller Fundamental Representations, the representations and warranties in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date. The Seller Fundamental Representations shall survive the Closing for ten (10) years and the Tax Matters Representations shall survive the Closing until the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a claim given in good faith in accordance with this Article VII in respect of a representation or warranty on or prior to the date on which the representation or warranty ceases to survive shall not thereafter be barred by the expiration of the survival period, and may be pursued thereafter without regard to such expiration. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each covenant or agreement set forth in this Agreement shall survive without limit.

Section 7.2 Indemnification by Sellers.

(a) Each of Zensun and Busch, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold GMRE and its direct and indirect Subsidiaries, and each of its and their respective Affiliates and successors, and each of its and their respective stockholders, members, managers, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the “GMRE Indemnified Parties” and each a “GMRE Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be asserted against, or paid, suffered or incurred by any GMRE Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, based upon or relating to any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by Zensun or Busch in Article III of this Agreement.

(b) Each of Zensun and Busch, severally but not jointly, shall indemnify and hold the GMRE Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be asserted against, or paid, suffered or incurred by any GMRE Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from:

(i) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by the Sellers in Article IV of this Agreement;

(ii) any Excluded Liability;

(iii) any failure by any Seller duly and timely to perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements required to be performed by it under this Agreement including, but not limited to, each Pre-Closing Transaction, except to the extent that such failure results from any act or omission of GMRE; provided, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Restricted Party shall be solely liable for a breach caused by such Restricted Party of a covenant contained in Article VI; and

(iv) any act, omission, Loss or other matter for which IAM would be required to provide indemnity to GMRE under the Management Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (regardless of whether the Management Agreement remains in effect or is amended on or after the Closing, in accordance with the indemnification provisions of the Management Agreement, subject to the limitations with respect to survival periods as provided in Section 7.1 of this Agreement), to the extent such act or omission preceded the Closing.

Section 7.3 Indemnification by GMRE. GMRE shall indemnify and hold each Seller and its respective successors and the respective stockholders, members, managers, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents of each such indemnified Person (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties” and each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be asserted against, or paid, suffered or incurred by any Seller Indemnified Party arising out of, resulting from, based upon or relating to:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by GMRE in Article V of this Agreement, provided, however, that GMRE shall not be liable under this Section 7.3(a) for any Losses based upon or arising out of any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty made by GMRE in Article V of this Agreement if any Seller had Knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach prior to the Closing;

(b) any failure by GMRE duly and timely to perform or fulfill any of its covenants or agreements required to be performed by it under this Agreement, except to the extent that such failure results from any act or omission of either Seller; and

(c) any act, omission, Loss or other matter for which GMRE would be required to provide indemnity to IAM under the Management Agreement as in effect immediately prior to the Closing (regardless of whether the Management Agreement remains in effect or is amended on or after the Closing, in accordance with the indemnification provisions of the Management Agreement, subject to the limitations with respect to survival periods in Section 7.1 of this Agreement), to the extent such act or omission preceded the Closing; provided, however, that GMRE shall have no obligation to indemnify IAM pursuant to this Section 7.3(c) with respect to any act, omission, Loss or other matter as to which IAM would be entitled to be indemnified in accordance with the indemnification provisions of the Management Agreement in effect prior to the Closing to the extent (i) any such act, omission, Loss or other matter occurred, existed or arose prior to the Closing and (ii) the IA Group Companies have Knowledge of such act, omission, Loss or other matter as of the Closing and it is not disclosed in Section 4.12(b) of the Seller Disclosure Schedule.

Section 7.4 Limitations.

(a) No amounts of indemnity shall be payable as a result of any claim arising under Section 7.2 unless and until Losses claimed thereunder, when aggregated, are in excess of $90,000.00 (the “Deductible”), in which case the GMRE Indemnified Parties may recover the aggregate amount of all Losses in excess of the Deductible; provided, that the aggregate indemnity payments by all Sellers under Section 7.2 shall not exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the total amount of the Consideration payable by GMRE to the Sellers hereunder (the “Indemnity Amount”), and provided, further, that the aggregate indemnity payments by Zensun or Busch under Section 7.2(a) shall not exceed the portion of the Consideration actually received by Zensun or Busch, as applicable. Notwithstanding the preceding provisions of this Section 7.4(a), none of the limitations set forth in this Section 7.4(a) shall be applicable with respect to any fraud or intentional misrepresentation by a Seller, or with respect to any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the Seller Fundamental Representations or with respect to any indemnification claim by any GMRE Indemnified Party under Section 7.2(b)(iv).

(b) The Sellers shall, at their sole option, determine within two (2) Business Days after final determination of the amount of Losses due whether to satisfy any indemnification amounts payable by the Sellers as a result of claims arising under Section 7.2 in cash or through the release of Escrowed Shares to the GMRE Indemnified Party and will notify the applicable GMRE Indemnified Party of its determination in writing within 24 hours of making such determination. The value of any such Escrowed Shares shall be determined with reference to the volume-weighted average of the sale prices per share of GMRE Common Stock as reported on the NYSE composite transactions reporting system (or such other national securities exchange or automated quotation service on which GMRE is then listed) for each trading day during the thirty (30) consecutive trading days immediately preceding the date of final determination of the amount of such Losses due. Busch shall be solely responsible, and shall not have any right to be reimbursed by GMRE, for the amount of any tax liability incurred by him resulting from any transfer of LTIP Units from the Escrow Account to any GMRE Indemnified Party or the cancellation or redemption thereof by any GMRE Indemnified Party, and any transfer of LTIP Units from the Escrow Account to any GMRE Indemnified Party shall not be subject to any adjustment or offset for taxes or any other purpose. GMRE shall record the release and transfer of such Escrowed Shares to the applicable GMRE Indemnified Party on the books of GMRE. Busch, as the Seller’s Representative, shall take all steps necessary to instruct the Escrow Agent to release the Escrowed Shares from the Escrow Account in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. The Escrow Agreement shall have a term of eighteen (18) months and any Escrowed Shares remaining in the Escrow Account at the end of such term shall be released to the Sellers by the Escrow Agent in accordance with their Percentage Ownership Interests in the Shares; provided; however, that an amount equal to the lesser of (x) the amount of any outstanding indemnification claim by any GMRE Indemnified Party that has been asserted but not fully and finally resolved as of the expiration of the term of the Escrow Agreement and (y) the value of Escrowed Shares then remaining in the Escrow Account, shall be reserved and continue to be held in the Escrow Account, and the term of the Escrow Agreement shall be extended, until such outstanding indemnification claim has been fully and finally resolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no payment, disbursal or release of any portion of the Escrowed Shares held in the Escrow Account shall in any way limit the rights of the GMRE Indemnified Parties to indemnification with respect to any other or excess claim for indemnification by any such party hereunder.

(i) Section 7.3 unless and until Losses claimed thereunder, when aggregated, are in excess of the Deductible, in which case the Seller Indemnified Parties may recover the aggregate amount of all Losses in excess of the Deductible;

(ii) Section 7.3 in excess of the Indemnity Amount (aggregating all indemnity payments by GMRE under Section 7.3).

provided, that none of the limitations set forth in this Section 7.4(c) shall be applicable with respect to fraud or intentional misrepresentation by GMRE or any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the GMRE Fundamental Representations or with respect to any indemnification claim by any Seller Indemnified Party under Section 7.3(c).

Section 7.5 Indemnification Procedures. All claims for indemnification by any person seeking indemnification under this Section 7.5 (an “Indemnified Party”) shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) If an Indemnified Party intends to seek indemnification under this Article VII, it shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such claim, indicating with reasonable particularity the nature of such claim and provide the Indemnifying Party with such additional relevant information in the Indemnifying Party’s possession that the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request. The failure to provide such notice will not affect any rights hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) If such claim involves a Third Party Claim against the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice and information, and upon notice to the Indemnified Party, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, assume the settlement or defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party; provided, that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party assumes the settlement or defense of such claim and the Indemnified Party determines reasonably and in good faith that representation by the Indemnifying Party’s counsel of both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest or that there are legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party’s counsel; provided, that such counsel is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnifying Party. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any such claim in good faith in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.5(b), the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to settle any claim for which indemnification has been sought and is available hereunder that imposes solely monetary obligations that are paid by the Indemnifying Party, does not contain a finding or admission of any violation of Law or any violation of the rights of any Person and contains an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all liability thereunder; provided, that to the extent that such settlement requires the Indemnified Party to take, or prohibits the Indemnified Party from taking, any action or purports to obligate the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall not settle such claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. So long as the Indemnifying Party is contesting any such claim in good faith in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.5(b), the Indemnified Party shall: not pay or settle any such claim without the Indemnifying Party’s consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the settlement and defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party is not entitled to join in or assume the defense of the claim pursuant to the foregoing provisions or is entitled but does not contest such claim in good faith (including if it does not notify the Indemnified Party of the assumption of the defense of such claim within the thirty (30) day period set forth above), then the Indemnified Party may conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing and at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the settlement or defense thereof and the Indemnifying Party shall cooperate reasonably with it in connection therewith. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section 7.5, the failure of the Indemnified Party to participate in, conduct or control such defense shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any obligation it may have hereunder. Any costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the investigation and defense of such claim (including reasonable out of pocket attorneys’ fees, other professionals’ and experts’ fees and court or arbitration costs) required to be paid by the Indemnifying Party on behalf of the Indemnified Party shall be paid as incurred, promptly against delivery of reasonably detailed invoices therefor.

(c) If the Indemnifying Party chooses to defend any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) cause, or agree to, the waiver of the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection in respect of confidential legal memoranda and other privileged materials drafted by, or otherwise reflecting the legal advice of, internal or outside counsel of an Indemnified Party (the “Subject Materials”) relating to such Third Party Claim. Each party hereto mutually acknowledges, on behalf of itself and its Affiliates, that (i) each shares a common legal interest in preparing for the defense of Proceedings, or potential Proceedings, arising out of, relating to or in respect of any actual or threatened Third Party Claim or any related claim or counterclaim, (ii) the sharing of Subject Materials will further such common legal interest and (iii) by disclosing any Subject Materials to and/or sharing any Subject Materials with the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall not waive the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product immunity or any other privilege or protection. The Indemnified Party shall not be required to make available to the Indemnifying Party any information that is subject to an attorney-client or other applicable legal privilege that based on the advice of outside counsel would be impaired by such disclosure or any confidentiality restriction under applicable Law.

Section 7.6 Character of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnification payments made with respect to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to or refund of the Consideration, 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).

Section 7.7 Remedies.

(a) Each of the parties hereto shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the obligations of each other Party hereto in the event that all conditions set forth in Section 7.4, as applicable, have been satisfied or waived by the Party seeking injunctive or other equitable relief hereunder.

(b) Except for claims based on fraud or claims for equitable relief pursuant to Section 7.7(a), following the Closing the rights of the parties for indemnification relating to breaches of this Agreement shall be limited to those contained in this Article VII and such indemnification rights shall be the exclusive remedies of the parties with respect to breaches of this Agreement.

Section 7.8 Subrogation / Insurance. If an Indemnified Party recovers Losses from an Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated, to the extent of such recovery, to the Indemnified Party’s rights against any Third Party (including any employees) with respect to such recovered Losses, subject to the subrogation rights of any insurer providing insurance coverage under one of the Indemnified Party’s policies and except to the extent that the grant of subrogation rights to the Indemnifying Party is prohibited by the terms of the applicable insurance policy. With respect to any rights of any Indemnifying Party (including any employees) against a Third Party to which an Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to the preceding sentence, such Indemnified Party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve any rights that such Indemnifying Parties may have to make claims against Third Parties (including under applicable insurance policies) and the Indemnified Parties and the Indemnifying Parties shall cooperate with and assist the other in issuing notices of claims to such third parties, presenting claims for payment and collecting proceeds related thereto. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any Losses of any Person under this Article VII shall be net of the amount, if any, received by the Indemnified Party (after deducting all costs and expenses associated with recovering such amount) from any Third Party (including any insurance company or other insurance provider).

Section 8.4 Further Documents. Each party hereto shall execute any and all further documents and writings and perform such other reasonable actions that may be or become necessary or expedient to effectuate and carry out the Internalization, whether before or after the Closing.

Section 8.5 Governing Law; Jurisdiction.

(a) This Agreement, and all claims or causes of actions (whether at law, in equity, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to conflicts of Laws principles (whether of the State of Maryland or any other jurisdiction that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland).

(b) All Proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement shall be heard and determined exclusively in any state or federal court located within Maryland. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally: (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of any state or federal court located within Maryland, for the purpose of any Proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the Internalization brought by any party; (ii) agrees not to commence any such Proceeding except in such courts; (iii) agrees that any claim in respect of any such Proceedings may be heard and determined in any state or federal court located within Maryland; (iv) waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such Proceeding; and (v) waives, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such Proceeding. A final judgment in any such Proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 8.1. Nothing in this Agreement or the Escrow Agreement will affect the right of any party to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Notwithstanding, nothing herein shall prohibit or limit the right of GMRE to pursue any remedy under Section 6.7(e) in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 8.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, collectively, shall constitute one (1) agreement.

Section 8.7 Construction of Agreement. No party, or its respective counsel, shall be deemed the drafter of this Agreement for purposes of construing the provisions of this Agreement, and all language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its fair meaning, and not strictly for or against any party.

Section 8.8 No Waiver. A waiver by any party hereto of a breach of or failure to perform any of the covenants or agreements in this Agreement to be performed by any other party shall not be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of or failure to perform the same or other covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions of this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective unless duly authorized (which authorization, relating to GMRE, shall include approval of a two-thirds of the Independent Directors of the GMRE Board) and memorialized in a writing signed by the party against whom such waiver is to be effective.

Section 8.9 Severability. In the event that any phrase, clause, sentence, paragraph, section, article or other portion of this Agreement shall become illegal, null or void or against public policy, for any reason, or shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, null or void or against public policy, the remaining portions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and shall remain in force and effect to the full extent permissible by Law.

Section 8.10 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the agreement of the parties and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. All references in this Agreement to sections and exhibits are to sections and exhibits of this Agreement, unless otherwise indicated.

For purposes of this Agreement, the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole and all references to “including” shall be construed as meaning “including without limitation.” Unless the context otherwise requires, references herein: (x) to articles, sections, exhibits and schedules mean the articles and sections of, and the exhibits and schedules attached to, this Agreement; (y) to an agreement, instrument or other document, or to any statute, means such agreement, instrument or other document or statute as may be (or may have been) amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof and by this Agreement, as applicable; and (z) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder.
