Following the Closing, Landmark and OpCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts, and shall cooperate with each other, to obtain any such required consent, authorization, approval or waiver. To the extent that any Asset or Assumed Liability cannot be transferred to OpCo at the Closing or any transfer is later voided or diminished due to a cause of the type described in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the first sentence of this

Section 2.5, Landmark and OpCo shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into such arrangements to provide to the parties the economic and operational equivalent of the transfer of such Asset or Assumed Liability to OpCo as of the Closing and the performance by OpCo and Landmark of their respective obligations with respect thereto.

ALL RELEASES, DISCLAIMERS, LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY AND INDEMNITIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THOSE IN THIS ARTICLE 9, SHALL APPLY EVEN IN THE EVENT OF THE SOLE, JOINT, OR CONCURRENT, ACTIVE OR PASSIVE NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR FAULT OF THE PARTY WHOSE LIABILITY IS RELEASED, DISCLAIMED, LIMITED OR INDEMNIFIED (EXCLUDING GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).

9.4 Indemnification Procedures. A Fund C Indemnitee or Partnership Indemnitee, as the case may be (for purposes of this Section 9.4, an “Indemnified Party”), shall give the indemnifying party under Section 9.1 or Section 9.2, as applicable (for purposes of this Section 9.4, an “Indemnifying Party”), prompt written notice of any matter which it has determined has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, stating the amount of the Loss, if known, and method of computation thereof, containing a reference to the provisions of this Agreement in respect of which such right of indemnification is claimed or arises; provided, however, that the failure to provide such notice shall not release the Indemnifying Party from its obligations under this Article 9 except to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure. In connection with any claim giving rise to indemnity hereunder resulting from or arising out of any Action by a Person who is not a party to this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party, at its sole cost and expense and upon written notice to the Indemnified Party, may assume the defense of any such Action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense of any such Action, with its counsel and at its own cost and expense. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of any such Action, the Indemnified Party may, but shall not be obligated to, defend against such Action in such manner as it may deem appropriate, including, but not limited to, settling such Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party may deem appropriate and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement shall relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein provided with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

13.4 Credits and Prorations.

(a) General Matters. All income and expenses relating to the Assets shall be apportioned as of 12:01 a.m., Los Angeles time, on the day of Closing, Fund C being charged and credited for the same prior to such date and time, and the Partnership being charged and credited for the same on and after such date and time. Such prorated items include the following:

(i) all rents and other accounts receivables payable with respect to the Assets (“Rents and A/R”) received by the Closing, if any;

(ii) all Property Taxes for which LD 8 has not properly accrued; and

(iii) utility charges for which LD 8 is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to Closing or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility.

(b) Specific Matters. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 13.4:

(i) Any Property Taxes paid at or prior to Closing shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If any Property Taxes due and payable during the year of Closing have not been paid before Closing or properly accrued for by LD 8, Fund C shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such Property Taxes which relates to the period before Closing, and LD 8 shall pay, or cause to be paid, such Property Taxes prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a Property Tax year for

which the Property Tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the Property Tax rate or assessed valuation fixed. To the extent that the actual Property Taxes for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the Parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty 30 days after such amounts are determined following Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 13.4(c) below. The Partnership shall pay all supplemental Property Tax resulting from the change in ownership and reassessment, if any, occurring as the result of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement;

(ii) Charges referred to in clause (i) above that are payable by any third party (as opposed to Fund C, the Partnership or LD 8) shall not be apportioned hereunder, and the Partnership and LD 8 shall look solely to the third party responsible therefor for the payment of such charges. If Fund C shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any third party to which it is entitled to reimbursement, and shall not have been reimbursed therefor by the time of Closing, the Partnership shall credit to Fund C an amount equal to all such charges so paid by Fund C;

(iii) Unpaid and delinquent Rents and A/R collected by Fund C or the Partnership, as the case may be, after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (1) if Fund C collects any unpaid or delinquent Rents and A/R for the Assets, Fund C shall, within 15 days after the receipt thereof, deliver to the Partnership any such Rents and A/R which the Partnership is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (2) if the Partnership or LD 8 collects any unpaid or delinquent Rents and A/R, the Partnership shall, within 15 days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Fund C any such Rents and A/R which Fund C is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. The Parties agree that (i) all Rents and A/R received by either Party (or LD 8) within the first 30 day period after the date of Closing shall be applied first to delinquent Rents and A/R, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to current Rents and A/R, and (ii) all Rents and A/R received by either Party (or LD 8) after the first 30 day period after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current Rents and A/R and then to delinquent Rents and A/R, if any, in the inverse order of maturity. The Partnership will use commercially reasonable efforts after Closing to collect all Rents and A/R in the Ordinary Course of Business, but neither the Partnership nor LD 8 will be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent Rents and A/R. If there shall be any Rents and A/R which, although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after, then any Rents and A/R of such type received by either Party (or LD 8) shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between Fund C and the Partnership as of Closing and Fund C’s portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to Fund C by the Partnership together with a reasonably detailed accounting from the Partnership.

(c) Final Adjustments. Except as otherwise provided herein, any revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the Parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount and current receipts, and shall be the subject of a final proration 60 days after Closing, or as soon thereafter as the precise amounts can be ascertained. The Partnership shall promptly notify Fund C when it becomes aware that any such estimated amount has been ascertained. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been ascertained, the Parties shall jointly and in good faith prepare a final proration statement, which final proration statement when agreed upon by the Parties, shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final.

(d) Survival. The provisions of this Section 13.4 shall survive Closing.

13.5 Closing Costs. The following costs of Closing shall be allocated between Fund C and the Partnership as follows:

(a) All fees associated with reissuance of title policies delivered to the Partnership pursuant to Section 7.2 shall be paid by the Partnership;

(b) All other title fees and premiums, all recordation fees, and all transfer, stamp, excise or similar taxes imposed by the state, county or city in connection with the transaction shall be divided equally and paid by Fund C and the Partnership at Closing;

(d) Each party shall bear its own counsel’s fees and expenses in connection with the transactions described in this Agreement.

The provisions of this Section 13.5 shall survive the Closing.

EACH OF THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES (i) TO BE SUBJECT TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE AND OF THE FEDERAL COURTS SITTING IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, AND (ii) TO THE EXTENT SUCH PARTY IS NOT OTHERWISE SUBJECT TO SERVICE OF PROCESS IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE, TO APPOINT AND MAINTAIN AN AGENT IN THE STATE OF DELAWARE AS SUCH PARTY’S AGENT FOR ACCEPTANCE OF LEGAL PROCESS AND TO NOTIFY THE OTHER PARTY OF THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF SUCH AGENT.

(b) Each Party agrees that it shall bring any action or proceeding in respect of any claim arising out of or related to this Agreement, whether in tort or contract or at law or in equity, exclusively in any federal or state courts located in Delaware and (i) waives any objection to laying venue in any such action or proceeding in such courts, (ii) waives any objection that such courts are an inconvenient forum or do not have jurisdiction over it and (iii) agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, service of process upon it may be effected by mailing a copy thereof by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to it at its address specified in Section 14.4. The foregoing consents to jurisdiction and service of process shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware for any purpose except as provided herein and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the Parties.

14.6 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence in the performance of this Agreement in all respects. If the date specified herein for giving any notice or taking any action is not a business day (or if the period during which any notice is required to be given or any action taken expires on a date which is not a business day), then the date for giving such notice or taking such action (and the expiration date of such period during which notice is required to be given or action taken) shall be the next day which is a business day.

14.7 Waiver and Severability.

(a) No waiver, either express or implied, by any Party hereto of any term or condition of this Agreement or right to enforcement thereof shall be effective, unless such waiver is in writing and signed by both Parties. Any such waiver shall constitute a waiver only with respect to the specific matter described in such writing and shall in no way adversely affect the rights of the Party granting such waiver in any other respect or at any other time. The failure of any Party to exercise any rights or privileges under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of any such rights or privileges under this Agreement. The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative and, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, none is exclusive of any other or of any rights or remedies that any Party may hereunder or otherwise have at law or in equity.

(b) Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein.

14.8 Costs and Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Party will bear its own costs and expenses in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

14.9 Counterpart Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Agreement as of the Effective Date.
