The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by each Buyer and the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein will not: (a) conflict with or result in a breach of any terms, conditions or provisions of the organizational documents governing either Buyer; (b) result in a breach or acceleration of or constitute a default or event of termination (with or without the giving of notice, the passage of time or otherwise) under the provisions of any agreement or instrument by which either Buyer is bound, which would have a material adverse effect on either Buyer or its ability to consummate the Transactions; (c) require the consent or approval of any third party, including any governmental authority (other than any such consents or approvals that have been obtained, including the Lender Consent); or (d) result in a violation or breach, in any material respect, of any legal requirement applicable to either Buyer or by which either Buyer or the property of either Buyer is bound.
(iii)    No Bankruptcy. Neither Buyer has made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, filed any voluntary petition in bankruptcy or suffered the filing of an involuntary petition by its creditors, suffered the appointment of a receiver to take possession of all, or substantially all, of its assets, admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they generally come due or made an offer of settlement, extension or composition to its creditors generally.
(iv)    Prohibited Person. Neither Buyer is (a) a person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, Executive Order No. 13224

12



on Terrorist Financing (effective September 24, 2001) (the “Executive Order”); (b) a person or entity owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of any person or entity that is listed in the Annex to, or is otherwise subject to the provisions of, the Executive Order; (c) a person or entity that is named as a “specially designated national” or “blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/offices/enforcement/ofac; (d) a person or entity that is otherwise the target of any economic sanctions program currently administered by OFAC; or (e) a person or entity that is affiliated with any person or entity identified in clause (a), (b), (c) and/or (d) above (any of the foregoing, a “Prohibited Person”). To each Buyer’s actual knowledge, the funds transferred by Buyers to Sellers pursuant to this Agreement are not the property of, or beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by a Prohibited Person or the proceeds of specified unlawful activity as defined by 18 U.S.C. §1956(c)(7).
(v)    Legal Proceedings affecting Buyers. No pending or, to either Buyer’s actual knowledge, threatened litigation exists which, if adversely determined (a) would or would reasonably be expected to restrain the consummation of the Transactions or otherwise have a material adverse effect on either Buyer’s ability to consummate the Transactions, or (ii) would or would reasonably be expected to declare illegal, invalid or non-binding any of either Buyer’s obligations or covenants to Sellers hereunder.
(c)    Covenants.
(i)    Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement, Sellers shall (1) direct the Manager to cause the Sub-Manager to comply with and perform its obligations under each Management Agreement in all material respects, and (2) not grant any material approvals or waivers under any Management Agreement or any Sub-Management Agreement without Buyers’ prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned).
(ii)    Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, each Seller and each Buyer shall execute and/or deliver such other instruments and documents, and take such other actions, which may reasonably be required to convert the Owner JV and the Manager JV to Delaware limited liability companies on the Closing Date (but immediately prior to the Closing).
(iii)    After the Closing Date, neither Buyer shall, or shall permit any of their respective affiliates (including the Companies, the Subsidiaries and New Guarantor) to, make any claim that any representations and warranties of NorthStar Realty Finance Limited Partnership (as “Original Guarantor”) in any Assumption and Release Agreement (Guarantor Transfer) (collectively, the “Assumption and Release Agreements”) to be executed and delivered in connection with the Lender Consent is not true and correct.

(i)    Representations and Warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement shall be true in all respects as of the Closing Date, (x) except where the failure of any such representations and warranties of Sellers to be true and correct would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined below), provided that for purposes of this sentence only, those representations and warranties that are qualified by references to “material” shall be deemed not to include such qualifications and (y) except, in the case of the representations and warranties in Section 5(a)(xv), where the failure of any of such representations and warranties to be true and correct as of the Closing Date is due to changes in facts and circumstances between the Rent Roll Date and the Closing Date arising in the ordinary course of business and consistent with past practice of operations of the Projects since the Investment Date. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean any result, occurrence, fact, event, change or effect that, individually or in the aggregate with other such results, occurrences, facts, events, changes or effects, has had and/or would have a materially adverse effect on (a) the business, affairs, assets, results of operations or financial condition of the Projects, taken as a whole, or (b) the ability of Sellers to consummate the Transactions.

14

(ii)    Legal Prohibition. No law shall be in effect and no order shall have been entered, in each case, that (a) restrains, enjoins or prohibits the performance of all or any part of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, or (b) declares unlawful this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
(d)    Termination of this Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated and the Transactions may be abandoned at any time on or before the Closing, in each of the following instances:
(i)    Mutual Consent. At any time prior to the Closing, by mutual written agreement of Sellers and Buyers.
(ii)    Delay. By either Sellers or Buyers if the Closing shall not have been consummated by June 30, 2016, provided, however, that (x) Sellers shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(d)(ii) if the Closing shall not have been consummated by such date due to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6(b) to have been satisfied on or before such date and (y) Buyers shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6(d)(ii) if the Closing shall not have been consummated by such date due to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 6(a) to have been satisfied on or before such date.
(e)    Consequences of Termination.
(i)    In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 6(d)(i), this Agreement shall immediately terminate, without further action by any of the parties, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyers, and neither Sellers nor Buyers shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
(ii)    In the event Buyers exercise their right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii), this Agreement shall immediately terminate, without further action by any of the parties, Escrow Agent shall return to return the Deposit to Buyers, and neither Sellers nor Buyers shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
(iii)    In the event Sellers exercise their right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 6(d)(ii), this Agreement shall immediately terminate, without further action by any of the parties, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyers, and neither Sellers nor Buyers shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

15



(iv)    If, prior to the Closing, either party terminates this Agreement in accordance with Section 6(e) or Section 6(f) and makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Deposit in accordance with the terms hereof, Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such demand to the other party. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice, Escrow Agent shall be authorized to make such payment. If Escrow Agent does receive a written objection within five (5) business days of delivery of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Deposit until otherwise directed by written instructions from the parties or a final judgment or arbitrator’s decision. However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deliver the Deposit and interest thereon, if any, with a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that Escrow Agent shall give written notice of any such delivery to Sellers and Buyers in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.
(v)    The terms and provisions of this Section 6(e) are subject to the terms and provisions of Section 6(f) below.
(f)    Defaults and Remedies.
(i)    Buyer Default. If there is a Buyer Default prior to the consummation of the Closing, then, at Sellers’ election and as Sellers’ exclusive remedy, Sellers may terminate this Agreement immediately, pursuant to which Buyers shall forfeit the Deposit to Sellers and Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to Sellers as liquidated damages and as Sellers’ exclusive remedy resulting from such Buyer Default (the parties agreeing that (i) quantifying the amount of Sellers’ losses resulting from a termination due to a Buyer Default would be difficult to quantify, and (ii) such sum is not a penalty, but rather a reasonable measure of Sellers’ damages resulting from a termination due to a Buyer Default). SELLERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 6(f)(i) IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO SELLERS AND SHALL BE SELLERS’ EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYERS HEREUNDER AND BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BUYER DEFAULT PRIOR TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Buyer Default” shall mean the occurrence of either of the following: (A) the conditions to Buyers’ obligations to consummate the Transaction set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied and either Buyer defaults on its obligations under Section 3(b); or (B) either Buyer defaults in any material respect on any of its other performance obligations under this Agreement or has breached any of its representations and warranties under this Agreement and such default or breach is not cured within five (5) days after written notice from Seller.
(ii)    Seller Default. If there is a Seller Default (as defined below) prior the consummation of the Closing, then, at Buyers’ election and as Buyers’ exclusive remedy, Buyers may either (x) terminate this Agreement, and if Buyers exercise such termination right, Sellers and Buyers shall direct Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to Buyers and reimburse Buyers for all of Buyers’ out-of-pocket costs in connection with this Agreement, and neither Sellers nor Buyers shall have any further obligation or liability to the other except with respect to those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive a termination of

16



this Agreement; or (y) subject to the conditions below, seek specific performance of Sellers’ obligation to consummate the Transactions pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement (but without seeking or collecting any damages); provided, however, that, if specific performance is not an available remedy or Buyers elect to commence such action but, notwithstanding diligent efforts in pursuing such remedy, are unsuccessful (other than due to a judicial determination that there was no Seller Default), then the Deposit will be returned to Buyers and Buyers may sue Sellers for all damages resulting from the Seller Default. Buyers may seek specific performance of Sellers’ obligation to consummate the Transaction only if, as a condition precedent to initiating such litigation for specific performance, (a) neither Buyer shall be in default under this Agreement and (b) Buyers shall file suit therefor with the court on or before the date that is sixty (60) days of the occurrence of the applicable Seller Default. If Buyers fail to file an action for specific performance within such sixty (60)-day period, then Buyers shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit in accordance with clause (x) above. BUYERS ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 6(f)(ii) IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO BUYERS AND SHALL BE BUYERS’ EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLERS HEREUNDER AND BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A SELLER DEFAULT PRIOR TO THE CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Seller Default” shall mean the occurrence of either of the following: (A) the conditions to Sellers’ obligations to consummate the Transaction set forth in Section 6 have been satisfied and either Seller defaults on its obligations under Section 3(a); or (B)  either Seller defaults in any material respect on any of its other performance obligations under this Agreement or has breached any of its representations and warranties under this Agreement, such default or breach results in the closing conditions set forth in Section 6(b) in not being satisfied as of the Closing Date and such default or breach is not cured within five (5) days after written notice from Buyers.
Section 7.    Survival; Indemnification; Other Limitations.
(a)    Survival; Other Limitations. The representations and warranties made in Section 5(a) and Section 5(b) shall survive the Closing Date for a period of twelve (12) months (the “Survival Period”). Each such representation and warranty shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the Survival Period unless, prior to the end of the Survival Period, the applicable Seller or Buyer shall have asserted in writing a claim with respect to the particular representation and warranty against the applicable other party (specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the factual and legal basis for any such claim and the provisions of this Agreement upon which such claim is made). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, (i) no individual claim shall be permitted hereunder with respect to any breach of any representations and warranties by Sellers under Sections 5(a)(vi)-(xviii) unless the amount of such claim shall exceed Sixty Thousand Dollars ($60,000) (any such claim the amount of which does not exceed such amount, a “De Minimis Claim”), and (ii) if either Buyer has actual knowledge that any of the covenants of either Seller to be performed on or before the Closing Date has not been performed prior to the Closing, and Buyers consummate the Closing, then Buyers shall be deemed to have waived Sellers’ performance of any such covenants, and neither Buyer shall

17



have any recourse, right of action or claim against either Seller in respect of any such breach of covenant.
(b)    Indemnification by Sellers. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7 (including Section 7(e)), each Seller shall indemnify and hold each Buyer and their respective affiliates, shareholders, members, managers, partners, directors, officers employees and agents (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages (as defined below) suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties (without duplication) with respect to the Transferred Interests resulting from or arising out of (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations made by a Seller under this Agreement or any document delivered to Buyers at the Closing, or (ii) any breach or default by either Seller under any of such Seller’s covenants or agreements under this Agreement, unless Buyers have waived the same as specifically provided herein (it being acknowledged and understood that Sellers shall have no indemnity obligations with respect to any Damages suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties with respect to the forty percent (40%) interest in the Companies and the Subsidiaries already owned by Buyers).
(c)    Indemnification by Buyers. Subject to the other provisions of this Section 7, each Buyer shall indemnify and hold each Seller and their respective affiliates, shareholders, members, managers, partners, directors, officers employees and agents (collectively, the “Seller Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all Damages suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties (without duplication) resulting from or arising out (i) any breach of or inaccuracy in any of the representations made by such a Buyer under this Agreement or any document delivered to Sellers at the Closing, or (ii) any breach or default by either Buyer under any of such Buyer’s covenants or agreements under this Agreement, unless Sellers have waived the same as specifically provided herein.
(d)    Damages Definition. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Damages” shall mean all actions, suits, proceedings, governmental investigations, injunctions, demands, charges, claims, judgments, awards, orders, decrees, rulings, damages, dues, penalties, fines, costs, amounts paid in settlement, liabilities, obligations, taxes, liens, losses, fees and expenses (including court costs and reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses); provided, however, that “Damages” shall not include punitive, consequential, special or indirect damages, including without limitation business interruption, loss of future revenue, profits or income, or loss of business reputation or diminution in value, except to the extent that such damages are payable by the party to be indemnified to a thirty party. In no event shall Sellers’ aggregate liability for Damages pursuant to Section 7(b) exceed $15,750,000.00 (“Sellers’ Maximum Liability”), and no claim may be made by any Buyer Indemnified Party, and neither Seller shall be liable for, (1) any De Minimis Claims or (2) any payments pursuant to Section 7(b) unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred or suffered by Buyer Indemnified Parties (excluding Damages in connection with the De Minimis Claims) exceed $2,625,000.00 (“Sellers’ Floor”), in which event Sellers’ liability respecting any final judgment concurring such claim(s) shall be for any amount thereof in excess of Sellers’ Floor, subject to Sellers’ Maximum Liability. The Sellers’ Floor and Sellers’ Maximum Liability do not apply to Sellers’ liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Section 4, Sellers’ obligation to pay taxes under Section 5, or Sellers’

18



indemnity under Section 11. In no event shall Buyers’ aggregate liability for Damages pursuant to Section 7(c) exceed $10,500,000.00 (“Buyers’ Maximum Liability”), and no claim may be made by any Seller Indemnified Party, and neither Buyer shall be liable for, any payments pursuant to Section 7(c) unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages incurred or suffered by Seller Indemnified Parties exceed $1,750,000.00 (“Buyers’ Floor”), in which event Buyers’ liability respecting any final judgment concurring such claim(s) shall be for any amount thereof in excess of Buyers’ Floor, subject to Buyers’ Maximum Liability. The Buyers’ Floor does not apply to Buyer’ liability with respect to prorations and adjustments under Section 4, Buyers’ obligation to pay taxes under Section 5, or Buyers’ indemnity under Section 11.
(e)    REIT Savings Clause. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall any amount paid to any Buyer Indemnified Party or any Seller Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement in any taxable year exceed the maximum amount that can be paid in such year without causing any Buyer Indemnified Party, or any direct or indirect owner of such Buyer Indemnified Party, or any Seller Indemnified Party, or any direct or indirect owner of such Seller Indemnified Party, in each case which is a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”), to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (the “REIT Requirements”) for such year, determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Section 856(C)(2)(A)-(I) and Section 856(C)(3)(A)-(I) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”) as determined by independent accountants to the applicable party. If the maximum amount that can be paid for any taxable year under the preceding sentence is less than the amount which the applicable party would otherwise be obligated to pay to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 7 (the amount of such deficit, the “Deficit Amount”), the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall so notify the other party, and the indemnifying party shall (at the sole cost and expense of the party to be indemnified) place the Deficit Amount in escrow and shall not execute any instrumentation permitting a release of any portion thereof to the party to be indemnified, and the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall not be entitled to any such amount, unless and until the indemnifying party and the escrow holder receive (all at the sole cost and expense of the party to be indemnified) notice from the other party, together with either (a) an opinion of the other party’s tax counsel to the effect that such amount, if and to the extent paid, would not constitute gross income which is not Qualifying Income, (b) a ruling from the IRS stating that the receipt by the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, of the Deficit Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code or (c) a letter from the other party’s independent accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid at that time to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, without causing any Buyer Indemnified Party (or any of its direct or indirect owners which is a REIT) or Seller Indemnified Party (or any of its direct or indirect owners which is a REIT), as applicable, to fail to meet the REIT Requirements for any relevant taxable year, together with either a ruling from the IRS issued to the other party or an opinion of the other party’s tax counsel to the effect that such payment would not be treated as includible in the income of the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, for any prior taxable year, in which event the escrow holder shall pay such maximum amount. The obligation of the indemnifying party and the escrow holder to pay any Deficit Amounts shall terminate ten (10) years from the date of this Agreement

19



and, upon such date, the escrow holder shall remit any remaining funds in escrow to the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to make any further payments to the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, notwithstanding that such Deficit Amounts have not been paid as of such date. For all purposes of this Agreement, (i) the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties release the applicable indemnifying party from any claims that may arise from actions taken by such indemnifying party at the request of the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable (or their respective agents) under this Section 7(e), and (ii) the right of the Buyer Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, to receive Deficit Amounts shall be limited to the amounts in escrow and the indemnifying party shall have no obligation to make any further payments to any Buyer Indemnified Party or Seller Indemnified Party, as applicable, with respect to such Deficit Amounts.

Each Seller and each Buyer shall waive, and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court, any claim that such Seller or Buyer is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts, that such Seller’s or Buyer’s property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court, and further agrees to waive, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, the benefit of any defense that would hinder, fetter or delay the levy, execution or collection of any amount to which any party or their successors or permitted assigns are entitled pursuant to the final judgment of any court having jurisdiction. The terms and provisions of this Section 23 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 24.    Construction. Terms, captions, headings and titles of this Agreement are solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect its interpretation. No provision of this Agreement shall be construed in favor of, or against, any particular party by reason of any presumption with respect to the drafting of this Agreement; each party, being represented by counsel, having fully participated in the negotiation of this instrument.
Section 25.    Captions. The captions, headings, and arrangements used in this Agreement are for convenience only and do not in any way affect, limit, amplify, or modify the terms and provisions hereof.
Section 26.    Number and Gender of Words. Whenever herein the singular number is used, the same shall include the plural where appropriate, and words of any gender shall include each other gender where appropriate.
Section 27.    Counterparts; Facsimile and Electronic Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in a number of identical counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signatures or electronic delivery of signatures which shall be binding on the parties hereto.

Section 29.    Sellers Guarantor.

25



(a)    Seller Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that it is an affiliate of each Seller and that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will provide substantial and direct benefit to Seller Guarantor. As an inducement to Buyers to enter into this Agreement, Seller Guarantor, for value received, subject to the terms contained herein, does hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocably, guarantee, as principal and not as surety, the due and punctual payment of all monetary obligations hereafter due and payable by either Seller pursuant to Section 7(b) of this Agreement (collectively, the “Seller Guaranty”). This Seller Guaranty is unconditional, absolute and irrevocable irrespective of circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or any defense, setoff or counterclaim available to, Seller Guarantor. Seller Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of performance, filing of any claim, any right to require any proceeding first against either Seller, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever in connection with the payment of all monetary obligations hereafter due and payable by either Seller under Section 7(b) of this Agreement. The guarantee under this Section 29 constitutes a guarantee of payment when due and not merely of collection.
(b)    For the purpose of inducing Buyers to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, Seller Guarantor represents and warrants to Buyers the following:
(i)    Seller Guarantor is a limited partnership duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.
(ii)    Seller Guarantor, acting through any of its duly empowered and authorized partners, directors or officers, has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its obligations hereunder, and no consent of any of Seller Guarantor’s partners, directors or officers that has not heretofore been obtained is required to so empower or authorize Seller Guarantor. The execution, delivery and compliance with or fulfillment of the terms and conditions hereof will not (i) conflict with, or result in a breach of, the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract to which Seller Guarantor is a party or by which Seller Guarantor is otherwise bound, which conflict, breach or default would have a material adverse effect on Seller Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder or (ii) result in a violation or breach, in any material respect, of any legal requirement applicable to Seller Guarantor or by which Seller Guarantor or the property of Seller Guarantor is bound.
(iii)    This Agreement is a valid and binding agreement, enforceable against Seller Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and equitable principles and except that equitable remedies may be granted only in the discretion of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)    This Seller Guaranty shall terminate automatically on the date that is the earlier of (i) the date of expiration of the Survival Period, if no claim has been made by either Buyer or any other Buyer Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of Section 7 prior to the date of expiration of the Survival Period or (ii) the date that all claims made by either Buyer or any other Buyer

26



Indemnified Party pursuant to the terms of Section 7 and prior to the expiration of the Survival Period have been paid in full or otherwise resolved.
(d)    In the event that Seller Guarantor, after the Closing Date and prior to the termination of this Seller Guaranty pursuant to the terms of Section 28(c), enters into an agreement pursuant to which Seller Guarantor agrees to sell or transfer all or substantially all of its assets, or to consummate any other transaction, and the Net Worth of Seller Guarantor immediately following the consummation of such transaction (excluding the cash proceeds of such sale or transfer or other transaction) is reasonably estimated to be less than Seller’s Maximum Liability, Seller Guarantor shall, prior to or simultaneously with the consummation of such transaction, cause a replacement guarantor with a Net Worth of not less than Seller’s Maximum Liability to assume in writing the obligations of Seller Guarantor under this Seller Guaranty.
(e)    As used in this Section 29, “Net Worth” means, as of the date of determination, for Seller Guarantor and, if applicable, any subsidiary or other entity the accounts of which would be consolidated with those of Seller Guarantor in its consolidated financial statements if such statements were prepared as of such date (collectively, the “Consolidated Subsidiaries”), determined on a consolidated basis, an amount equal to the book value of Seller Guarantor’s tangible assets as of such date, plus (i) (x) accumulated depreciation and (y) the Cumulative Straight-line Rent (to the extent reflected as a liability on the balance sheet of Seller Guarantor as of the applicable date of calculation), minus (ii) (x) the liabilities of Seller Guarantor as of such date, and (y) the Cumulative Straight-line Rent (to the extent reflected as an asset on the balance sheet of Seller Guarantor as of the applicable date of calculation), each as determined in accordance with GAAP. As used in this Section 29, “Cumulative Straight-line Rent” means the sum of all non-cash straight-line rent adjustments made by Seller Guarantor or the Consolidated Subsidiaries, whether made before or after the date of calculation, but only to the extent such adjustments remain directly reflected as an asset or as a liability on the balance sheet of Seller Guarantor as of the applicable date of calculation.
Section 30.    Legal Representation.
(a)    Each Seller has been represented by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP in connection with this Agreement, which has previously and continues to represent each Buyer in various matters. Each of Owner Seller, Manager Seller, Owner Buyer and Manager Buyer hereby expressly acknowledge the existence of such conflict of interest and waive such conflict of interest. Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP may represent either Seller or either Buyer in connection with any matters related to the Owner JV, the Manager JV, the Owner JV Subsidiaries, the Manager, the Projects and other matters, and each party consents to such representation and waives any conflict such representation may present.
(b)    Each Buyer has been represented by Alston & Bird LLP in connection with this Agreement, which has previously and continues to represent each Seller in various matters. Each of Owner Seller, Manager Seller, Owner Buyer and Manager Buyer hereby expressly acknowledge the existence of such conflict of interest and waive such conflict of interest. Alston & Bird LLP may represent either Buyer or either Seller in connection with any matters related to the Owner JV, the Manager JV, the Owner JV Subsidiaries, the Manager, the Projects and other

27



matters, and each party consents to such representation and waives any conflict such representation may present.
