10. Arbitration. To the extent (x) any dispute arises among any of the Parties under this Agreement and (y) such dispute is not resolved by such Parties within fifteen (15) days following written notice of such dispute from one Party to another Party (any such dispute described in the foregoing clauses (x) and (y), a “Dispute”), such Dispute shall be arbitrated in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court”) pursuant to 10 Del. C. §349. The Parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court and agree to take all steps necessary or advisable, including execution of documents to be filed with the Court, in order to properly submit the Dispute for Arbitration (as defined in the Rules of the Court of Chancery (the “Chancery Rules”)) in accordance with this Section 10, and each Party agrees that it shall raise no objection to the submission of the Dispute to Arbitration in accordance with this Section 10 and further irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection it may have or hereafter have to the submission of the Dispute for Arbitration or any right to lay claim to jurisdiction in any venue. Each Party waives any and all rights to have the Dispute decided by a jury. The Arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the Chancery Rules pertaining to arbitration, except that the Parties agree that Rule 97(f) of the Chancery Rules shall not be argued or construed to abridge the right of any Party to take discovery pursuant to Rules 26 through 37, which are incorporated into the Arbitration proceedings by Rule 96(c) as currently in effect, the Parties also hereby opt to have the Arbitration governed by existing Rules 15, 41 and 45, and agree that the Arbitrator (as defined below) shall have the power, either as Arbitrator, Chancellor or Vice Chancellor, to request the assistance of other courts through the process of granting a commission or commissions for discovery; provided that the Parties shall use their best efforts to cause third party discovery to proceed confidentially, and further provided that the Parties may agree to amend, modify or alter such rules, and/or adopt new rules, with the consent of the Arbitrator. Any such amendments shall be in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party. The Arbitration shall take place in Wilmington, Delaware or such other location as the Parties and the Arbitrator may agree. The Arbitration shall be presided over by one arbitrator (the “Arbitrator”) who shall be a Chancellor or Vice Chancellor of the Court appointed as an Arbitrator by the Court. Any issue concerning whether, or the extent to which, any Dispute is subject to Arbitration shall be decided exclusively by the Arbitrator. The arbitral award (the “Award”) shall (i) be rendered within 90 days after the request for Arbitration is submitted to the Court, (ii) be delivered in writing or orally, (iii) state the reasons for the Award, and (iv) be the sole and exclusive final and binding remedy with respect to the Dispute between and among the Parties. Judgment on the Award may be entered by the Arbitrator, in his or her role as Chancellor or Vice Chancellor on the docket of the Court upon application of any Party to the Arbitration, and such judgment may be entered subsequently upon the docket of any other court. The Parties waive any right to refer any question and any right of appeal to any court except that the Parties do not waive the right to enforce an order of the Arbitrator pursuant to 10 Del. C. §349(c). The Award shall be deemed an award of the United States, the relationship between the Parties shall be deemed commercial in nature, and any Dispute arbitrated pursuant to this Section 10 shall be deemed commercial. The Arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any equitable or legal remedies, excluding punitive or exemplary damages, that would be available in any judicial proceeding intended to resolve a Dispute, including, without limitation, entering injunctive relief pending the final decision or the rendering of the Award. The Parties hereto agree that, except as may be required by law, the Arbitration, and all matters relating thereto or arising thereunder, including, without limitation, the existence of the Dispute, the proceeding and all of its elements (including any pleadings, briefs or other documents submitted or exchanged, any testimony or other
18
oral submissions, any third party discovery proceedings, including any discovery obtained pursuant thereto, and any decision of the Arbitrator or Award), shall be kept strictly confidential, and each Party hereby agrees that such information shall not be disclosed beyond: (i) the Arbitrator and necessary Court personnel; (ii) the participants in the Arbitration; (iii) those assisting the Parties in the preparation or presentation of the Arbitration; (iv) other employees or agents of the Parties with a need to know such information; and (v) any third parties that are subpoenaed or otherwise provide discovery in the Arbitration proceedings, only to the extent necessary to obtain such discovery. In all events, the Parties and any third parties participating in the Arbitration proceedings shall treat information pertaining to the Arbitration with the same care that they treat their most valuable proprietary secrets. Each Party shall bear its own legal fees and costs in connection with the Arbitration; provided, however, that each Party shall pay one-half of any filing fees, fees and expenses of the Arbitrator or other similar costs incurred by the Parties in connection with the prosecution of the Arbitration. The Parties acknowledge that the Arbitrator may impose rules different from, or in addition to, those set forth in this Section 10, and nothing in this Section 10 shall be construed to limit or restrict the Arbitrator from imposing any such rules; provided, however, that the Arbitrator shall not have authority to vary the Parties’ agreed upon rules set forth in this Section 10 above, absent the consent of the Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall use its best efforts to cause the Arbitration to be conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in the foregoing provisions of this Section 10, and hereby further waives the right to object to the conduct of the Arbitration in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, the Chancery Rules, or any statute protecting the confidentiality of the Arbitration and proceedings taken in connection therewith, in the event that the prevailing respondent in the Arbitration (the “Respondent”) is required to defend himself, herself or itself in response to later proceedings instituted by the unsuccessful petitioner in the Arbitration (the “Petitioner”) in any court, relating to matters decided in the Arbitration, the Respondent shall be relieved of any obligation to hold confidential the Arbitration and its proceedings in order to submit, confidentially if and to the extent possible, sufficient information to such court to allow it to determine whether the doctrines of res judicata, collateral estoppel, bar by judgment, or other, similar doctrines apply to such subsequent proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10, if (i) any provision hereof requiring that the proceedings relating to the Arbitration be kept confidential, or requiring the Parties or any party to such proceedings or any matter arising therein to maintain the confidentiality thereof, is found to be invalid or unlawful, such provision shall be excluded from this Section 10 and the remaining provisions hereof shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, (ii) any amendment to 10 Del. C. § 349 is enacted after the date of this Agreement, or any change in the Rules of the Court are effected, and such amendment or change would render any provision of this Section 10 unenforceable thereunder, such provision shall be excluded and the remaining provisions of this Section 10 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law and such Rules, and (iii) a successor statute to 10 Del. C. § 349 and successor Rules thereunder are adopted, Section 10 shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with such successor statute and Rules and all references herein to 10 Del. C. § 349 and to the Rules thereunder shall be deemed, to the maximum extent possible, to be references to such successor statute and such successor Rules. In the event the Court (i) ceases to conduct arbitration proceedings pursuant to 10 Del. C. § 349 (or any successor thereto), (ii) cannot or will not agree to arbitrate a particular Dispute, or (iii) cannot or will not agree to treat the Arbitration proceedings as confidential and not of public record, any Dispute shall be submitted to arbitration before a former member of the Court
19
selected in good faith by the Parties or, if no such member of the Court is willing to serve in such capacity or is then available to conduct the proceedings on the schedule contemplated hereby, by an arbitrator who has been admitted to practice in the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware, is a member in good standing of the Delaware Bar, and has been selected in good faith by the Parties. The Parties agree that this Section 10 shall apply to such proceeding to the maximum extent possible, with all references to 10 Del. C. § 349 and the Rules thereunder being deemed to refer to such statute and Rules as in effect on the date hereof.
11. Modification, Waiver in Writing. No modification, amendment, extension, discharge, termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor consent to any departure by any Party therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in a writing signed by the Party against whom enforcement is sought, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the purpose, for which given. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, no notice to or demand on any Party shall entitle such Party to any other or future notice or demand in the same, similar or other circumstances. Neither any failure nor any delay on the part of any Party in insisting upon strict performance of any term, condition, covenant or agreement, or exercising any right, power, remedy or privilege hereunder shall operate as or constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall a single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other future exercise, or the exercise of any other right, power, remedy or privilege.
12. Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.
13. Construction. The Parties hereto acknowledge that they were represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of this Agreement and the documents and agreements attached hereto and contemplated hereby, and this Agreement and the documents and agreements attached hereto and contemplated hereby, shall not be subject to the principle of construing their meaning against the party which drafted same.
14. Headings / Exhibits. The Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. The Exhibits attached hereto, are hereby incorporated by reference as a part of the Agreement with the same force and effect as if set forth in the body hereof.
15. Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Master Partnership Agreement (together with all exhibits, schedules and other agreements attached thereto or contemplated thereby) contain the entire agreement of the Parties in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby, and all prior
20
agreements, understandings and negotiations among or between such parties, whether oral or written, are superseded by the terms of this Agreement and the Master Partnership Agreement.
17. No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is solely for the benefit of the Parties hereto and nothing contained herein shall be deemed to confer upon anyone other than the Parties hereto any right to insist upon or to enforce the performance or observance of any of the obligations contained therein.
18. Assignment. Without the prior written consent of the other Parties hereto, no Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement or its rights, titles, interests or obligations hereunder; provided, however, each Buyer shall have the right to designate Affiliates of such Buyer to take an assignment of the Master Partnership Interests at Closing.
19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed signature page to this Agreement by electronic transmission (including PDF copies thereof) shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart to this Agreement.
20. Recourse to the Limited Partner. STICHTING DEPOSITARY PGGM PRIVATE REAL ESTATE FUND HAS EXECUTED THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS CAPACITY AS TITLE HOLDER OF AND FOR THE ACCOUNT AND RISK OF THE FUND. THE FUND IS NEITHER A PARTNERSHIP (PERSONENVENNOOTSCHAP) NOR A LEGAL ENTITY (RECHTSPERSOON) UNDER DUTCH LAW. THEREFORE, ANY CLAIMS AGAINST THE FUND AND/OR THE TITLE HOLDER ARE AGAINST THE TITLE HOLDER AS SUCH, AND NOT AGAINST THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE FUND WHO, ACCORDINGLY, ARE NOT LIABLE FOR THESE CLAIMS. RECOURSE FOR SUCH CLAIMS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ASSETS HELD BY THE TITLE HOLDER ON BEHALF OF THE FUND. THIS LIMITATION OF THE FUND’S LIABILITY APPLIES DESPITE ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND EXTENDS TO ALL LIABILITIES AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE FUND IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, CONDUCT, OMISSION, AGREEMENT OR TRANSACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT. NO SUIT AGAINST THE FUND MAY BE BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PERSON OTHER THAN THE TITLE HOLDER IN ITS CAPACITY AS SUCH.
