advancing the costs of such studies, reports and surveys for Buyer.

4.2.1    Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued and delivered to Buyer, or shall have committed to issue and deliver to Buyer, with respect to each Real Property, a Standard Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (2006 Form) or, with respect to the Real Properties located in Texas, a TLTA T-1 Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance, as applicable (each, a “Title Policy” and collectively, the “Title Policies”) in the form of the applicable Title Report, issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the applicable Deed (as such term is defined in Section 6.1 hereof) for such Real Property, in the amount of the portion of the Purchase Price allocated to such Real Property, insuring the applicable Buyer as owner of good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple legal title to such Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include (a) any lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, including special assessments, not delinquent, (b) all matters which could be revealed or disclosed by a physical inspection or a survey of the applicable Real Property and matters affecting the applicable Real Property which (i) are created by or with the written consent of Buyer or (ii) which do not adversely affect Buyer’s contemplated use of such Real Property, (c) the rights of the tenants under the Leases affecting such Real Property with no rights to purchase all or any portion of such Real Property, (d) all exceptions disclosed in writing by the Title Report relating to such Real Property, (e) any exception for liens (or potential liens) for services, labor or

ACTIVE 31157768v21

materials heretofore or hereafter furnished to the applicable Property for which a Buyer is entitled to a credit at Closing pursuant to this Agreement, for which a Buyer is expressly responsible for payment under the terms of this Agreement, and/or which arises from any services, labor or materials contracted for by any tenant at such Property and with respect to which any such tenant is responsible for payment under the terms of its Lease, and (f) all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of such Real Property.
4.3    Inspections.
4.3.1    Inspections in General. During the term of this Agreement, each Buyer, its agents, and employees shall have a limited license (the “License”) to enter upon the Real Property it is acquiring for the purpose of making non-invasive inspections at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense. Before any such entry, Buyer shall provide Seller with a certificate of insurance naming Seller as an additional insured and with an insurer and insurance limits and coverage reasonably satisfactory to Seller. All of such entries upon any Real Property shall be at reasonable times during normal business hours and after at least twenty-four (24) hours prior notice to Seller or Seller’s agent, and Seller or Seller’s agent shall have the right to accompany Buyer during any activities performed by Buyer on such Real Property. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary herein, Buyer shall have no right to inspect any of the occupied space in any Real Property, and Buyer shall not contact or speak to any of the tenants under the Leases, unless Buyer provides Seller with no less than twenty-four (24) hours prior written notice of such intention and Seller or Seller’s representative is present during such inspections and/or discussions with tenants; any discussions with tenants shall immediately cease at the tenant’s request and any discussions with tenants must be limited to their existing tenancy and premises and may not involve any lease renegotiations. Seller agrees to make itself or its representatives reasonably available to be present during Buyer’s inspections and/or discussions with tenants. Inspections by Buyer shall not interfere with the rights of tenants. To the extent a consultant is engaged by Buyer to perform any tests or inspections, at Seller’s request, Buyer shall provide Seller (without any representation or warranty by Buyer as to such tests or inspections and at no cost to Seller) with a copy of the results of any such tests and inspections, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies. If any inspection or test disturbs any Real Property, Buyer will restore such Real Property to substantially the same condition as existed before the inspection or test. Buyer shall defend, indemnify Seller and hold Seller, Seller’s trustees, officers, tenants, agents, contractors and employees and the Real Properties harmless from and against any and all losses, costs, damages, claims, or liabilities, including but not limited to, mechanics’ and materialmens’ liens and Seller’s attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Buyer’s, or its agents’, contractors’, employees’, or invitees’ entry upon or inspection of any Real Property, but expressly excluding any such losses, costs, damages, claims or liabilities arising from Buyer’s discovery of an existing condition on any Real Property so long as Buyer’s actions do not exacerbate such condition (and then only to the extent, if any, Buyer’s tests or inspections actually exacerbate such condition) or arising from Seller’s negligence or willful misconduct. The License may be revoked by Seller in the event any Buyer breaches any of the restrictions and limitations set forth in this Section 4.3.1, and shall in any event be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 4.3.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

ACTIVE 31157768v21

4.3.2    Environmental Inspections. The inspections under Section 4.3.1 may include non-invasive Phase I environmental inspections of the Real Properties, but no Phase II environmental inspections or other invasive inspections or sampling of soil or materials, including without limitation construction materials, either as part of the Phase I inspections or any other inspections, shall be performed without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion.
4.4    Contracts. Each Buyer shall assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts applicable to the Real Property being purchased by such Buyer; provided, however, that notwithstanding Seller’s termination of any such property management agreement or leasing agreement listed in Exhibit C attached hereto, and in consideration of Seller’s terminating the same and Seller’s continued leasing of the Portfolio after the Effective Date, each Buyer shall be responsible for, and each Buyer shall assume pursuant to the terms and provisions of the applicable Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale, as hereinafter defined, all leasing commissions payable (notwithstanding the termination of any such agreement) under such property management agreements and leasing agreements after the Close of Escrow arising out of the lease of space in the applicable Real Property after the Close of Escrow.
4.5    Confidentiality.
4.5.1    Each Party agrees not to disclose or permit the disclosure of any of the terms of this Agreement or any other confidential, non-public or proprietary information relating to the Portfolio, any Seller Party, or the business of Seller (collectively, “Confidential Information”); provided that such disclosure may be made (a) to any person who is a member, partner, manager, officer, investor, director or employee, directly or indirectly, of such Party or counsel to, or accountants of, such Party solely for their use and on a need-to-know basis; provided that such person or entity is notified of the Party’s confidentiality obligations hereunder, (b) with the prior consent of the other Party, (c) subject to Section 4.5.2 below, pursuant to a subpoena, order issued or examination by a court, arbitrator or governmental body, agency or official, (d) to any lender providing financing to one or more of the entities constituting Seller and/or Buyer, (e) to any governmental or regulatory authority, body or agency or stock exchange pursuant to applicable laws, rules, guidelines or regulations as reasonably determined by such Party, or (f) pursuant to any regulatory requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing and anything to the contrary in this Agreement, (i) any Party may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided relating to such tax treatment and tax structure, and (ii) nothing contained herein shall impair any Party’s (or any Party’s affiliate’s) right to disclose information relating to this Agreement or to the Portfolio (x) to any due diligence representatives and/or consultants that are engaged by, work for or are acting on behalf of, any securities dealers and/or broker dealers evaluating such Party or its affiliates, (y) in connection with any filings (including any amendment or supplement to any S-11 filing) with governmental or regulatory agencies or stock exchanges (including the United States Securities and Exchange Commission or any regulatory agency or body in Singapore such as the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX”)) by any Party or other person or entity holding an interest (direct or indirect) in

ACTIVE 31157768v21
‑7‑
 




any Party, and (z) to any broker/dealers in such Party’s or its affiliates’ broker/dealer network and any of the Party’s or its affiliates’ investors.
4.5.2    In the event that a Party receives a request to disclose any Confidential Information under a subpoena or order or examination by a court, arbitrator or governmental body, agency or official, such Party shall to the extent legally practicable (i) promptly notify the other Party, (ii) consult with the other Party on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request, and (iii) if disclosure is required or deemed advisable, reasonably cooperate with the other Party in any attempt such other Party may make to obtain an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information that is disclosed.
4.5.3    Without limiting the rights of the Parties in Section 4.5.1 above and save for the prospectus in respect of the IPO for Buyer S-REIT, no Party shall issue or publish any press release, tombstone or any other similar public communication advertising the sale of the Portfolio or any Property to Buyer that would disclose the financial aspects of this Agreement or the financial aspects of the business of the Portfolio or such Property without the written prior approval of all of the Parties.
4.6    Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to Buyer by the Closing Date estoppel certificates for the Leases consistent with the information in the Rent Rolls and in the form approved by the Parties prior to the Effective Date; provided, however, receipt of signed estoppel certificates from the tenants under the Leases shall not be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow.
5.
OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
5.1    Ongoing Operations. During the term of this Agreement, but subject to the limitations set forth below, Seller shall carry on its businesses and activities relating to the Portfolio substantially in the same manner as Seller did before the date of this Agreement.
5.2    New Contracts. No Seller will enter into any contract that will be an obligation affecting any Real Property subsequent to the Close of Escrow (except contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause on 30‑days’ notice), without the prior consent of the applicable Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
5.3    Leasing Arrangements. Each Seller shall obtain the applicable Buyer’s consent, which consent shall not unreasonably withheld or delayed, before entering into any new lease of space in any Real Property and before entering into a Lease amendment, expansion, or renewal.  Buyer shall be deemed to have consented to any new lease or any Lease amendment, expansion, or renewal if it has not notified the applicable Seller specifying with particularity the matters to which Buyer reasonably objects, within five (5) days after its receipt of Seller’s written request for consent, together with a copy of the Lease amendment, expansion, or renewal or the new lease.

obligations (whether arising before or after the Closing Date) under such new leases and Lease amendments, expansions or renewals. Each Seller hereby agrees not to terminate any Lease except in the event of a tenant default thereunder.
5.4    Damage or Condemnation. Risk of loss shall remain with Seller. If prior to the Close of Escrow, any Real Property shall be Materially Damaged (defined below), or if any Material Portion (defined below) of any Real Property shall be subjected to a bona fide written threat of condemnation or shall become the subject of any proceedings, judicial, administrative or otherwise, with respect to the taking by eminent domain or condemnation by a governmental authority (a “Material Taking”), then Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing that such Material Damage or Material Taking has occurred after Seller obtains actual knowledge of such occurrence, and Buyer may elect not to acquire the Real Property affected by such Material Damage or Material Taking, as applicable, by delivering written notice of such election to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer learns of the Material Damage or Material Taking, in which event Buyer shall no longer be obligated to purchase, and Seller shall no longer be obligated to sell, such Real Property and this Agreement shall no longer apply to such Real Property and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the dollar amount allocated to such Real Property in Section 3.1 of this Agreement, and all references hereafter made to a Real Property or Real Properties shall specifically exclude any reference to the Real Property that the Buyer has elected not to acquire under the provisions of this Section 5.4, except that all of Buyer’s indemnity obligations under this Agreement shall continue to apply to such Real Property. If the Closing Date is within the aforesaid 5day period, then Buyer shall have the right to elect in writing to extend the Close of Escrow to no later than the next business day following the end of said 5day period so that Buyer may receive the benefit of such 5-day period (or so much so as Buyer may elect). If no such election is made, and in any event if the damage does not constitute Material Damage, or an eminent domain or condemnation proceeding or bona fide written threat does not affect a Material Portion of the applicable Real Property, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the purchase contemplated herein (less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation) shall be consummated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (after deducting all reasonable costs incurred by Seller in defending such eminent domain or condemnation proceeding prior to the Close of Escrow); provided, however, that Buyer shall be entitled to receive any condemnation award or payment, and upon the Close of Escrow, Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer all of the right, title and interest of Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for such taking, and Seller shall assign, transfer and set over to Buyer any insurance proceeds that may thereafter be made for such damage or destruction giving Buyer a credit at the Close of Escrow for any deductible under such policies. For purposes of this Section 5.4, the phrase(s) (i) “Material Damage” or “Materially Damaged” means damage exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price allocated to the applicable Real Property as reasonably determined by Seller, and (ii) “Material Portion” means any portion of a Real Property that has a “fair market value” exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price allocated to the applicable Real Property as reasonably determined by Seller.
5.5    Association Notices. From and after the Effective Date, each Seller hereby agrees to promptly provide the applicable Buyer with copies of any written notices of default received by such Seller from any association or declarant under any declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions recorded against the Property owned by such Seller.

If the cash portion of the Purchase Price (less the Relevant Amount referenced in Section 3.2 above) is not so received by Seller’s depository bank on the Closing Date, then the day the Close of Escrow occurs shall belong to Seller and such proration shall be made as of the end of the day that is the Closing Date.

Uncollected Rent shall not be prorated and, to the extent payable for the period prior to the Close of Escrow, shall remain the property of Seller. Buyer shall apply Rent from tenants that are collected after the Close of Escrow first to Rents

ACTIVE 31157768v21
‑16‑
 




which were applicable to the month of Closing, second to Rents which are due to Buyer after the Close of Escrow, and third to Rents which were due to Seller on or before the Close of Escrow. Any prepaid Rents for the period following the Closing Date shall be paid over by Seller to Buyer. Buyer will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect any Rents applicable to the period before the Close of Escrow including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of past due Rents during the first six (6) month period following the Closing Date. Seller may pursue collection of any Rents that were past due as of the Closing Date, provided that Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.
10.2    Operating Costs and Additional Rent Reconciliation. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities (to the extent not paid directly by tenants), common area maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively, “Operating Costs”) in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Real Properties. To the extent that any additional rent (including, without limitation, estimated payments for Operating Costs) is paid by tenants to the landlord under the Leases based on an estimated payment basis (monthly, quarterly, or otherwise) for which a future reconciliation of actual Operating Costs to estimated payments is required to be performed at the end of a reconciliation period, Buyer and Seller shall make an adjustment at the Close of Escrow for the applicable reconciliation period (or periods, if the Leases do not have a common reconciliation period) based on a comparison of the actual Operating Costs to the estimated payments at the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments in excess of the amount that tenants will be required to pay, based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall receive a credit in the amount of such excess. If, as of the Close of Escrow, Seller has received additional rent payments that are less than the amount that tenants would be required to pay based on the actual Operating Costs as of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall receive a credit in the amount of such deficiency; provided, however, Seller shall not be entitled to the portion, if any, of such deficiency for which Seller received a credit at the Close of Escrow under clause (b) of Section 10.3 hereof. Operating Costs that are not payable by tenants either directly or reimbursable under the Leases shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer and shall be reasonably estimated by the parties if final bills are not available. The provisions of this section shall pertain to Operating Costs incurred for the current calendar year in which the Closing occurs as well as the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Closing occurs.
10.3    Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments imposed by any governmental authority (“Taxes”) with respect to the Real Properties for the relevant tax year in which such Real Property is being sold and that are not yet due and payable or that have not yet been paid and that are not (and will not be) reimbursable by tenants under the Leases (or under leases entered into after the Close of Escrow for vacant space existing at the Close of Escrow) as Operating Costs shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates and based upon the number of days Buyer and Seller will have owned the applicable Real Property during such relevant tax year. Seller shall receive a credit for any Taxes paid by Seller and applicable to (a) any period after the Close of Escrow, and (b) any period before the Close of Escrow to the extent reimbursable as Operating Costs by (i) existing tenants under the Leases and not yet received from such tenants, or (ii) future tenants

ACTIVE 31157768v21

that may execute leases covering space in such Real Property that is vacant as of the Close of Escrow. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller is protesting or has notified Buyer, in writing, that it has elected to protest any Taxes for any Real Property, then Buyer agrees that Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), after the Closing Date, to continue such protest. In such case, any Taxes paid by Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to such Real Property shall be paid under protest and Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of any payments of Taxes made by Buyer with respect to such Real Property. Buyer further agrees to cooperate with Seller and execute any documents requested by Seller in connection with such protest. As to each Real Property, any tax savings received (“Tax Refunds”) for the relevant tax year under any protest, whether filed by Seller or Buyer, shall be prorated between the parties based upon the number of days, if any, Seller and Buyer respectively owned the Real Property during such relevant tax year; if such protest was filed by a Seller, any payment of Tax Refunds to Buyer shall be net of any fees and expenses payable to any third party for processing such protest, including attorneys’ fees. Seller shall have the obligation to refund to any tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to Seller which may be owing to such tenants, which payment shall be paid to Buyer within fifteen (15) business days of delivery to Seller by Buyer of written confirmation of such tenants’ entitlement to such Tax Refunds. Buyer shall have the obligation to refund to tenants in good standing as of the date of such Tax Refund, any portion of such Tax Refund paid to it which may be owing to such tenants. Seller and Buyer agree to notify the other in writing of any receipt of a Tax Refund within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of such Tax Refund. To the extent either party obtains a Tax Refund, a portion of which is owed to the other party, the receiving party shall deliver the Tax Refund to the other party within fifteen (15) business days of its receipt. If Buyer or Seller fail to pay such amount(s) to the other as and when due, such amount(s) shall bear interest from the date any such amount is due to Seller or Buyer, as applicable, until paid at the lesser of (a) twelve percent (12%) per annum and (b) the maximum amount permitted by law. The obligations set forth herein shall survive the Close of Escrow and Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the any Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein.
10.4    Leasing Commissions, Tenant Improvements and Contracts. At Close of Escrow, the applicable Buyer shall assume (pursuant to the Assignment of Leases and Contracts and Bill of Sale for the applicable Property) the obligation to pay all (a) leasing costs that are due or become due prior to the Closing Date to the extent that the same arise from a new lease or any Lease amendment, extension or expansion hereafter entered into by Seller in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and (b) leasing costs that are due after the Closing Date. Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under the Contracts.
10.5    Tenant Deposits. All tenant security deposits actually received by Seller (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) and not theretofore applied to tenant obligations under the Leases shall be transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow or placed in escrow if required by law. As of the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits that are actually transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow. Solely with respect to tenant security deposits that are actually transferred or credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow, Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants arising out of the transfer or disposition of any such security deposits and will reimburse Seller for all attorneys’

fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all loss, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by Seller as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants. If any security deposits are in the form of a letter or credit, Seller’s obligation to deliver or credit such deposit shall be satisfied by the delivery by Seller of the original letter of credit to Buyer. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to transfer any such letters of credit, including signing any assignment document requested by the issuer and presented to Seller prior to or after Closing, but expressly excluding any obligation to draw on any letter of credit for the benefit of Buyer. All costs of the assignment of any letter of credit shall be paid by Seller without prejudice to Seller’s right to seek reimbursement from a tenant for such costs post-closing if permitted under the respective lease. Seller agrees that it shall not hereafter apply any tenant security deposits to tenant obligations from and after the Effective Date until the Close of Escrow.
10.6    Utilities and Utility Deposits. Utilities for each Real Property (excluding utilities for which payment is made directly by tenants), including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based upon the last reading of meters prior to the Close of Escrow, shall be prorated. Seller shall be entitled to a credit for all security deposits held by any of the utility companies providing service to a Real Property. Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings on the day before the Closing Date, and if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration of such items and Seller shall pay at Close of Escrow the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the utility company will not issue separate bills, Buyer will receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and will pay the entire bill prior to delinquency after Close of Escrow. If Seller has paid utilities in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Buyer shall be charged its portion of such payment at Close of Escrow. Buyer shall be responsible for making any security deposits required by utility companies providing service to a Real Property.
10.7    Owner Deposits. Seller shall receive a credit at the Close of Escrow for the bonds, deposits, letters of credit, set aside letters or other similar items that are outstanding with respect to any Real Property that have been provided by Seller or any of its affiliates to any governmental agency, public utility, or similar entity as set forth on Schedule 6 attached hereto (collectively, “Owner Deposits”) to the extent assignable to Buyer. To the extent any Owner Deposits are not assignable to Buyer, Buyer shall replace such Owner Deposits and obtain the release of Seller (or its affiliates) from any obligations under such Owner Deposits. To the extent that any funds are released as a result of the termination of any Owner Deposits for which Seller did not get a credit, such funds shall be delivered to Seller immediately upon their receipt.
10.8    Percentage Rents. Percentage rents (“Percentage Rents”) actually collected for the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs shall be prorated as of the Closing Date.  Percentage Rents due after the Close of Escrow shall not be prorated; provided, however, after any Buyer has completed any reconciliation of actual Percentage Rents payable and estimated Percentage Rents paid by the subject tenants, and all reconciled amounts have been paid, a reconciliation shall be made between Seller and Buyer with regard to such Percentage Rents.  Pursuant to such reconciliation, Seller and Buyer shall be entitled to their proportionate share of all Percentage Rents paid for the subject fiscal Lease year used to calculate each tenant’s Percentage Rents (less any out-of-pocket costs incurred in collecting said amounts, which shall belong to Buyer) based on the number of days of such fiscal year Seller and Buyer owned the

Property (and adjusted for any amount of Percentage Rent prorated at Closing or received by Seller or Buyer).  As used in this paragraph, the term “Percentage Rents” shall not include and shall have deducted from such Percentage Rent amount any “base” or “minimum” rent component which is payable each month (regardless of actual sales), which “base” or “minimum” rent component shall be prorated or otherwise handled in the manner provided in this Agreement.  Buyer will make reasonable efforts, without suit, to collect all Percentage Rents payable after the Close of Escrow and relating to the period prior to the Close of Escrow, and all Percentage Rents which are delinquent as of the Close of Escrow, including, without limitation, sending to tenants bills for the payment of the same.  Seller may pursue collection of all Percentage Rents payable after the Close of Escrow and relating to the period prior to the Close of Escrow and all Percentage Rents which are delinquent as of the Close of Escrow, provided that Seller shall have no right to terminate any Lease or any tenant’s occupancy under any Lease in connection therewith.
10.9    Final Adjustment After Closing. If final prorations cannot be made at the Close of Escrow for any item being prorated under this Section 10, then, provided either Buyer or Seller identify any such proration (“Post Closing Proration”) in writing before the Close of Escrow, Buyer and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as invoices or bills are available and applicable reconciliation with tenants have been completed, with final adjustment to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the Close of Escrow (but in no event later than May 1, 2020, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 10.3 or arising from Percentage Rents under Section 10.8 shall not be subject to such limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible), to the effect that income and expenses are received and paid by the parties on an accrual basis with respect to their period of ownership. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due no later than May 1, 2020, except that adjustments arising from any tax protest under Section 10.3 or arising from Percentage Rents under Section 10.8 shall not be subject to such limitation, but shall be made as soon as reasonably possible. Seller shall have reasonable access to, and the right to inspect and audit, Buyer’s books to confirm the final prorations for a period of one (1) year after the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in this Section 10, except for any reconciliation arising out of a tax protest under Section 10.3 hereof or arising from Percentage Rents under Section 10.8, and except for any Post Closing Prorations (which must be determined and paid by no later than May 1, 2020), all prorations made under this Section 10 shall be final as of the Close of Escrow and shall not be subject to further adjustment (whether due to an error or for any other reason) after the Close of Escrow.

15.14    Several Liability and Obligation of Buyer. Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Agreement, all obligations and liabilities of each Buyer under this Agreement shall be several, and not joint, as to Buyer.

15.17    Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.

15.20    Several Liability of Seller. All obligations and liabilities of each Seller under this Agreement shall be several, and not joint, as to Seller. For avoidance of doubt, if any Seller fails to meet its obligations under this Agreement the recourse of Buyer for such failure shall be limited to pursuing the individual Seller that failed to meet its obligations and no other Seller shall have any liability whatsoever regarding the same.

The IPO is scheduled to occur at [2:00] p.m. (Singapore Time) on ___________, __2019 (which is 11:00 p.m. (Pacific Standard Time) on ___________, 2019) (the “IPO Commencement Time”).

C.    Buyer has advised Seller and Escrow Holder that the Close of Escrow must occur prior to the IPO Commencement Time.

FIRPTA CERTIFICATE
__________________ (“Member”) is the sole owner of ________________ (“Seller”). Seller, a disregarded entity for U.S. tax purposes, is the transferor of certain real property more particularly described on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”).
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445 of the Code), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax will not be required in connection with the disposition of the Property pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of ______________, 20__, by and between ___________________, a __________ (“Buyer”) and Seller, the undersigned certifies the following on behalf of Member:
1.    Member is not a foreign corporation, foreign Company, foreign trust or foreign estate, as those terms are defined in the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder;
2.    Member is not a disregarded entity as defined in Treasury Regulations §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii),
3.    Member’s U.S. employer identification number is __________, and
4.    Member’s address is: 800 Newport Center Drive, Suite 700, Newport Beach, California 92660.
It is understood that this certificate may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined the foregoing certification and, to the best of my knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Member.
