On the Closing Day, the Closing Actions shall be taken for the Individual Transfers for which the Closing Conditions are satisfied.
To the extent all Closing Conditions for any additional Individual Transfer are satisfied during the 10-Business-Day time period after the satisfaction of the Core Portfolio Closing Condition, both Parties may agree, acting reasonably, upon Closing such Individual Transfer together with the Core Portfolio irrespective of the time period.
The Individual Transfers, which cannot close with the Core Portfolio because the Closing Conditions are not satisfied, shall then close one after the other as soon as the Closing Conditions under an Individual Transfer are satisfied, in each case at least ten Business Days after this has occurred. The provisions of this Umbrella SPA shall in this case apply mutatis mutandis to the individual Closings.
The “Core Portfolio Closing Condition” is satisfied once the Closing Conditions of (i) at least 5 (five) Individual Transfers are satisfied and (ii) the Individual Purchase Prices and only in respect of the share transfers the relevant agreed property values, respectively sum up to at least (net) EUR 600,000,000 (the "Core Portfolio"). The Parties agree that the closing condition pursuant to Section 7.2.1(c) shall be disregarded for the purpose of determining, whether the Core Portfolio Closing Condition is satisfied.

8.2.2

9.
INDEPENDENT SYSTEM OF GUARANTEES
9.1
Liability System Separate From Statutory Rules
The Purchasers and the Sellers have extensively discussed and negotiated to which extent and in which way the Sellers should be liable for defects of the Purchase Objects and Shares according to Section 3 or if it turns out that the Guarantees are untrue or incorrect. The Purchasers and the Sellers have decided to depart from the statutory system of liability and to provide instead for a separate system of liability as determined in the following.



- 32 -

9.2
State of Transfer
9.2.1
The Purchase Objects are sold in their current condition. The current state and condition resulting from the age and use of the building shall be agreed as the contractually owed factual status. All rights and claims of the Purchasers because of defects of the ground and the building on it shall be excluded, unless otherwise agreed in this Umbrella SPA or in the Individual Transfers.
9.2.2
Unless otherwise agreed in this Umbrella SPA or in the Individual Transfers the Sellers do not assume any liability, in particular not with respect to the size and quality of the Purchase Objects as well as the buildings on it, or the absence of identifiable or hidden defects of the Purchase Objects, as well as the absence of negative impacts from adjacent properties, unless otherwise agreed in this Umbrella SPA or in the Individual Transfers; the risk of the future use, the entitlement to erect buildings and use of the Purchase Objects remains solely with the Purchasers. For the avoidance of doubt, the restrictions of liability, respectively, above shall also apply in the case that lessees claim rent reductions or damages unless such liability arises under a Guarantee in which case only the Limitations on Liability (Section 13) shall apply.
9.3
Agreement on Independent Guarantees
The Sellers guarantee in the form of an independent guarantee according to section 311(1) BGB (selbständiges Garantieversprechen) that, subject to the qualifications set out in Section 9.5, the statements in Section 10 and – if any - in the Individual Transfers (“Guarantees”) are true and correct in relation to the Purchase Objects or the Shares (it being understood that in case a Guarantee is granted pursuant to an Individual Transfer it shall apply only in relation to such Purchase Object or Shares which are the subject of these Individual Transfers) as at the Notarisation Date or as at such date as expressly referred to in the Guarantees, provided, however, that any provisions and limitations contained in this Agreement relating to the consequences of a breach of the Guarantees, including the provisions and limitations set forth in Section 13 (“Limitations on Liability”) form an integral part of the Guarantees (Inhalt des Schuldverhältnisses / Bestandteil der Garantieerklärung), and the Guarantees are only given subject to such provisions and limitations and, provided further, that each of the Sellers gives the Guarantees only in relation to the relevant Purchase Object or Shares sold by it. To the extent a Guarantee refers to the Closing Date it shall mean the relevant Closing Date of the Individual Transfer the Guarantee refers to.
9.4
Purchaser’s Confirmation, Sellers' Representation, Sellers’ Knowledge, Data Room
9.4.1
The Purchasers confirm that when entering into this Agreement the Purchasers solely relied on (i) their inspection and investigation of the Portfolio conducted in the sole responsibility of the Purchasers, and (ii) the Information. The Purchasers had the opportunity to ask questions and seek further clarifications regarding the Information.
9.4.2
Sellers represent that they have disclosed to the Purchasers all information that an experienced real estate investor would reasonably expect in a similar transaction and have put forth best efforts to obtain from its service providers the relevant documents and information and that the Sellers have not put any information in the Data Room in a misleading manner, for example (without limitation) information which the Sellers in each case know is in material respects wrong or



- 33 -

inaccurate or incorrectly placed in the Data Room, in each case if the information thereby is misleading.
9.4.3
To the extent this Umbrella SPA makes reference to the knowledge or best knowledge of a or the Sellers, only the actual knowledge or grossly negligent lack of knowledge (grob fahrlässige Unkenntnis), as at the date such declaration is made or at the date otherwise stipulated in this Umbrella SPA of the persons listed in Annex 9.4.3 shall be relevant, having made due and careful enquiry of the asset and property managers currently retained for the Properties (which for each Property are listed in Annex 9.4.3). Any knowledge of any other person shall not be attributed to the relevant Seller.
The persons listed in Annex 9.4.3 have confirmed with the Sellers’ employees specifically tasked with the asset and/or property management, and with the sale of the Properties under this Umbrella SPA that, except as disclosed in the Data Room and/or in the Umbrella SPA, the Individual Transfers and/or the Schedules and Annexes thereto, they are not aware of any incorrectness of the facts underlying the Guarantees given. The Sellers' employees specifically tasked with the asset and/or property management, and with the sale of the Properties under this Umbrella SPA have asked the asset and/or property managers and/or other external parties contracted in respect of the Prime Properties as appropriate (the “Service Providers”), whether they are aware of any incorrectness of the facts underlying the Guarantees given. The Sellers have informed the Purchasers of such instances where the answers to this query uncovered new issues and have made all due and careful enquiries within the given timeframe (apart from court proceedings) to extract satisfactory answers from the Service Providers.
Each Seller hereby assigns, except as provided differently under the Individual Transfers, to the relevant Purchaser with effect as of the Transfer of Possession any claims it has against its Service Providers based on inaccurate or incomplete reporting. The relevant Purchaser accepts such assignment. The Sellers, however, assume no liability for the existence, scope, enforceability and assignability of these assigned claims. Should the Sellers themselves be liable towards the Purchasers and the Claim which has been satisfied by the Sellers is based on an action or omission by a Service Provider, the relevant Purchaser is obliged to re-assign the claims to the Sellers to enable the Sellers to take recourse against the relevant Service Provider.
9.4.4
The documents handed over by the Sellers during the due diligence as well as the questions and answers in the Q&A process all as of 12 December 2014 (the "Cut-Off Date") have been saved on three identical DVDs by the provider of the Data Room for each of the Purchase Objects/Shares (in each case together with a letter of the provider of the Data Room confirming that the DVDs contain an identical copy of the Information provided in the Data Room as at the Cut-Off Date) (“Data Room” or “Information”) which have been reviewed and signed off by the Parties prior to the Date of Notarization. Two sets of these DVDs will be kept in custody by the German Notary until ten years following the date hereof. The German Notary is instructed to provide to the Sellers and/or the Purchasers upon written request and at own cost one set of the DVDs. DVDs remaining with the German Notary after the date falling ten years after the date hereof may be destroyed unless there is a dispute or proceedings have commenced. The German Notary has not reviewed the DVDs and shall not assume any liability for the content and durability of the data. In case of loss or destruction of the DVDs, the German Notary shall be liable only in



- 34 -

case of deliberate act or gross negligence. The index to the Data Room is appended hereto as Annex 9.4.4.
Any information disclosed by the Sellers after the Cut-off Date shall not exclude Purchaser's claims, unless the relevant information is listed in the schedule of additional information that was provided to the Purchaser by the Seller after the Cut-Off Date (“Additional Information”). The schedule of Additional Information is appended hereto as Annex 9.4.4a.
9.4.5
The Purchasers have inspected and examined the Properties in the presence of a qualified expert and have carried out a suitable due diligence on them as is customary in acquisitions of this kind, inter alia on the basis of the documents contained in the Data Room. The Purchasers had sufficient opportunity to make their own enquiries on all issues relating to the Properties, to independently investigate all facts and circumstances relating to the development, use and management of the Portfolio, and to obtain all information and documentation that is of significance for the legal, technical and economic evaluation of the Properties and their suitability for the purposes of the Purchasers, judging by the standards that are generally applied to properties of this kind.

15.2.1
The Sellers shall deliver to the Purchasers on the Closing Date the completion deliverables set out in each of the Individual Transfers, if any. All other documents relating to the Purchase Objects or Shares and necessary for their ownership and operation – to the extent they are present with or under the control of the Sellers (or its service providers, in particular the Property Manager) – shall be delivered to the Purchasers as soon as practicable and in any event no later than within four weeks upon Transfer of Possession of the relevant Purchase Object or transfer of the Shares in the original, otherwise as copies.
15.2.2

In the event that the assumption



- 54 -

of any of the aforementioned contractual agreements is subject to the prior consent of the other party and this party refuses to approve the assumption of any of the aforementioned contracts, the respective Seller shall be obliged to maintain the contract(s) in question at the relevant Purchaser's request and for the Purchaser's account and at its expense until the next available termination date and afterwards be entitled to terminate the relevant contractual agreement.

15.2.4
The Sellers assign on the Closing Date to the Purchasers the claims for defects or malperformance out of the agreements mentioned in Section 15.2.3 or any other agreements relating to any Property upon Transfer of Possession.

The Sellers shall, if so requested by any Purchaser, repeat or re-declare the above assignment in sufficiently clear form, if necessary. The Sellers shall assign to the Purchasers on the Closing Date any collateral security provided in this respect with effect from the Transfer of Possession.

Collateral security provided under the underlying contracts for work shall be held and drawn on or released as stipulated therein.

Insurances
Any insurance regarding the Purchase Objects will expire upon the Transfer of Possession.

15.4
Purchasers’ Entitlement
15.4.1
The Sellers authorize the Purchasers with effect upon the Transfer of Possession to make use of and exercise all ownership rights (including towards authorities) as if the legal ownership (as opposed to only beneficial ownership) had already passed on to the Purchasers upon the Transfer of Possession.

To the extent legally possible under the relevant jurisdiction of a Purchase Object, the Purchasers herewith indemnify the Sellers from all damages, expenses and disadvantages arising from the exercise of this power of attorney. Upon request of a Purchaser, the Sellers shall reiterate this power of attorney in a separate deed at the Purchaser’s costs.
15.5
Transfer of Lease Agreements Following Closing
15.5.1

15.5.3
The Sellers shall remain entitled to pursue any claims for arrears of rent (also by taking legal actions, however excluding the right to draw guarantees) against the lessees to the extent such claim arose and became due prior to the Transfer of Possession and including any disputes with lessees regarding statements of operating costs that have not been settled as per the Closing Date.

In any event, the Seller shall not be entitled to take any actions against a tenant, if (i) the claim has already been due for more than four months or (ii) is below EUR 40,000 (net) or the equivalent (“Collection Limits”).

(b)
In respect of the Shares, the following is agreed: Irrespective of contrary undertakings in this Agreement, the Seller shall be entitled to cause Chrysalis and Lindholmen AB, respectively, to pursue any claims for arrears of rent from the date hereof to the date of Closing in the same manner as agreed in Section 15.5.3(a) above. However, the right to sell and assign a claim is excluded and the Collection Limits do not apply. These rights shall expire on the Closing Date.
15.5.4
The Seller and the Purchaser will inform the lessees immediately after the Transfer of Possession in a joint letter in a form appropriate to the respective jurisdiction, of the change of the lessor and upon request of the Purchaser, the Seller shall provide such letter on the Closing Date.
15.5.5
To the extent the aforementioned rights and claims against the lessees cannot be assigned under the applicable local law provisions, the Sellers herewith authorize the Purchasers to exercise and assert such rights in its own name upon Transfer of Possession. If the Purchaser exercises such rights and claims in the name of a Seller, the respective Purchaser herewith indemnifies this Seller from any damages, and proper expenses or disadvantages actually incurred resulting from the exercise of such rights, especially from third party’s claims. This shall also apply in case this Umbrella SPA may cease to exist for whatever reason.

(a)
Any payments made by the Sellers in settlement of costs recoverable from the tenants and accrued up to the Transfer of Possession shall be set off against the advance payments made by the lessees in respect of service charges up to that date and that may be allocated to the lessees, and any balance determined in this regard shall be settled by the relevant Seller and Purchase inter se.
(b)
In addition, the Parties shall draw up an interim statement of accounts as of the Transfer of Possession, with all costs and charges incurred with respect to the relevant Property being split up between the Parties inter se (pro rata temporis and, if appropriate, in relative proportion to the size of the premises).

SEC Filings
Sellers acknowledge that they have been advised that the Purchasers are subsidiaries of a publicly registered company (the “Company”).

Sellers agree that if after Closing Purchasers are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide any additional financial or other information regarding any SEC Filings, Sellers will fully cooperate with Purchasers in connection with the preparation of such information, including providing access to certain information at Sellers' offices. Further, Sellers agree that if a Purchaser is required by the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide additional items related to such information, Sellers shall fully cooperate with Purchasers to deliver such related items. The provisions of this Section 22 shall survive the Closing.
22.2
REIT Status
Sellers acknowledge that the Company is a public real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Sellers further acknowledge that as a REIT, the Company is subject to certain filing and reporting requirements in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including, but not limited to, regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Purchasers may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Purchasers will consult with the Sellers on any publications referring to the Sellers before publishing them and shall consider, to the extent legally permitted, the Sellers' comments.



- 64 -

Sellers further agree that they shall fully cooperate with Purchasers in complying with any and all laws, regulations, ordinances, requirements and restrictions in maintaining its status as a REIT. The provisions of this Section 22.2 shall survive the Closing.
22.3
Common Provisions on SEC Filings and REIT Status
22.3.1
Parties acknowledge that the foregoing undertakings of the Sellers are best efforts obligations only and not absolute undertakings and, subject to the Sellers using best efforts to comply with the requirements above, the Sellers under no circumstances shall be liable for any consequences should the Purchasers' requirements pursuant to Sections 21.1 and 21.2 not be fulfilled .
22.3.2
All costs of actions of the Sellers required under the above provisions shall be borne by the Purchasers.
23.
MISCELLANEOUS
23.1
Restrictions on Assignment
23.1.1
Unless otherwise provided in this Umbrella SPA, claims of any of the Purchasers arising out of or in connection with this Umbrella SPA may only be assigned with the prior written consent of SEB except customary assignments to equity providers or financing parties or assignments to intra-group companies of the Purchasers and subject to regulatory requirements on assignment limitations.
23.1.2
The Sellers shall, at the written request of the Purchasers, and at the Purchasers' cost, take all necessary legal and factual steps to assist in procuring a full transfer of the contractual relationship under this Umbrella SPA or any part referable to a Purchase Object or Shares and the relevant corresponding Individual Transfer(s) from any Purchaser to, or the assignment or novation of the corresponding benefits and obligations to, or the nomination of, an affiliated entity of the Purchasers (“Internal Designee”). Affiliated entity is determined according to Secs. 15 et seq. German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) accordingly and it being understood that in interpreting this German law concept the specifics of other jurisdictions shall reasonably be taken into account. A transfer under this clause would lead to a complete exchange of the contractual position on the Purchaser’s side, i.e. only the Internal Designee would from then on be entitled and obliged under this Umbrella SPA (or the relevant part as the case may be) and the relevant corresponding Individual Transfer.
23.2
Payments, Bank Accounts
Any payment under this Agreement must be made free of all taxes, bank charges and other deductions by wire transfer of immediately available funds and in the currency agreed herein. Any such payment shall be deemed to have been duly made only upon the irrevocable and unconditional crediting of the amount payable (without deduction of any costs or charges) to the relevant bank account on, and on a value date no later than, the relevant due date.



- 65 -

All payments due under this Agreement shall be made to the bank accounts notified by the Sellers or the Purchasers, as appropriate, unless Section 4.2 or the Individual Transfers provide otherwise.
23.3
Liability of Sellers
No Seller shall be liable for any obligations of another Seller acting on behalf of a different real estate fund (several liability, Ausschluss der gesamtschuldnerischen Haftung). Within the same real estate fund, Sellers shall be jointly and severally liable for any obligations hereunder (gesamtschuldnerische Haftung).
23.4
Joint and Several Liability of Purchasers
Any Purchaser shall be jointly liable together with all other Purchasers and each Purchaser assumes to fulfill all obligations of any other Purchaser and assignee under this Umbrella SPA (gesamtschuldnerische Haftung).
23.5
Amendments
Any amendments to this Agreement shall be in writing, signed by each of the Parties to be valid and require the explicit reference to this Agreement but must be in notarial form if this is required by mandatory law. This is also applicable for an amendment of this Section 23.5.
23.6
Severability
Should a provision of this Agreement or a provision later on included in this Agreement be or become null and void as a whole or in part, or should a gap in this Agreement become evident, this does not affect the validity of the remaining provisions. The Parties are aware of the German Federal Supreme Court's (Bundesgerichtshof) decision according to which a severability Section merely reverses the burden of proof. However, it is the express intention of the Parties to maintain the validity of the remaining provisions at all events and thus to exclude the applicability of section 139 BGB as a whole. Instead of the null and void provision, or in order to fill the gap, such valid and practicable regulation is deemed to be agreed with effect ex tunc that in legal and economic terms comes closest to what the Parties intended or would have intended in accordance with the purpose of this Agreement if they had considered the point at the time of conclusion of this Agreement.
If the nullity of a provision is due to a degree of performance or time (period or deadline) laid down in this provision, then the provision is deemed to be agreed with a legally permissible degree that comes closest to the original degree. However, the Agreement is null and void as a whole if it is null and void in relation to individual Parties or if the partial nullity concerns the contractual main performance obligations or a part of them.
23.7
Governing Law
23.7.1
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement (except its Schedules 3.1 to 3.11) shall be exclusively governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the Federal



- 66 -

Republic of Germany applicable to parties residing within the Federal Republic of Germany without regard to the conflicts of law provisions of the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
23.7.2
The transactions under the Individual Transfer(s) pursuant to Schedules 3.1 to 3.11 are subject to the law provided for therein, or, if not provided therein, subject to the Law in which the Property in question is situated.
23.8
Entire Agreement
23.8.1
This Agreement including its Schedules and Annexes and the Schedules and Annexes to such Schedules together with all other agreements and their respective Schedules and Annexes as provided in the Umbrella Agreement dated 22 December 2014, Roll of Deeds No. 376/2014 of Notary Dr. Hans Hofmann, comprise the entire agreement between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior negotiations, agreements and undertakings of the Parties whether oral or written, with respect to the subject matter hereof.
In case of discrepancies between this Agreement and the Umbrella Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Agreement and its Annexes and Schedules shall prevail.
23.9
