In the event Purchaser does not obtain Loan Assumption Approval (which provides for the release of Seller, as borrower, and Stratus, as guarantor, as contemplated above and, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, the Goldman Modifications), on or before the business day before the Closing Deadline, then Seller shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser on such date and, effective upon such receipt, this Agreement shall terminate and thereafter neither Party shall have any further rights, remedies or obligations under this Agreement except obligations and rights that expressly survive any termination of this Agreement. If, however, Purchaser obtains Loan Assumption Approval (including the Goldman Modifications) on or before the business day before the Closing Deadline, then at Closing, subject to the other terms and conditions herein, Purchaser will consummate the assumption of the Goldman Loan and the release of Seller and Stratus (the “Loan Assumption”).

(b)Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to the Seller on or before the Closing Deadline if: (i) a Material Casualty occurs; (ii) a casualty occurs which is not a Material Casualty, Seller does not have Adequate Replacement Cost Insurance in place and the Parties do not enter into a written agreement establishing an amount of money to be deducted from the Purchase Price to cover the Uninsured Casualty Damage (the “Agreed Casualty Deduction”); or (iii) a casualty occurs which is not a Material Casualty, Seller does not have Adequate Rent Loss Insurance in place and the Parties do not enter into a written agreement establishing an amount of money to be deducted from the Purchase Price to cover the Uninsured Lost Rents (the “Agreed Rent Loss Deduction”).

(c)If (i) a fire or other casualty occurs at the Real Property but does not result in a Material Casualty and (1) Seller has Adequate Replacement Cost Insurance and Adequate Rent Loss Insurance in place or (2) the Parties enter into a written agreement establishing an Agreed Casualty Deduction and/or an Agreed Rent Loss Deduction (as applicable) or (ii) a Material Casualty occurs, but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then and in either such event, the transaction under this Agreement shall be consummated on or before the Closing Deadline pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Agreement, but the Purchase Price will be reduced by the amount of any Agreed Casualty Deduction and/or Agreed Rent Loss Deduction and, in addition, Seller will assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s rights to any insurance proceeds (including all rights to rent loss coverage only for periods after Closing) which are payable to Seller, but have not yet been received by Seller, in connection with any fire or other casualty occurring at the Real Property between the Effective Date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, and Purchaser will receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible under Seller’s casualty insurance policy.

(d)After Closing, Seller will have no further liability or obligation to Purchaser under this Section 7.02.

8.01Purchaser’s Default and Seller’s Remedies. If Purchaser fails or refuses to timely comply with Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement or under the Block 21 Service Company Contract or is unable to do so as the result of Purchaser’s act or failure to act, or Purchaser breaches any of its representations or warranties hereunder or under the Block 21 Service Company Contract, and if Seller is not in default of any of Seller’s material obligations under this Agreement and Stratus Block 21 Investments is not in default of any of its material obligations under the Block 21 Service Company Contract, then Seller may terminate this Agreement and, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedies: (a) recover or retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages for the failure or refusal by Purchaser to close the purchase of the Property (“Acquisition Default”); (b) recover damages with respect to any failure by Purchaser to comply

with Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations (defined below); (c) enforce specific performance of Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations; and (d) recover from Purchaser all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with the recovery or retention of the Earnest Money and/or in connection with the enforcement of Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations or the collection of damages arising out of any violation thereof. In the event of an Acquisition Default by Purchaser, the Earnest Money will be delivered to or retained by Seller as liquidated damages, and not a penalty, in full satisfaction of Seller’s claims against Purchaser with respect to the Acquisition Default only. The recovery or retention of the Earnest Money by Seller will not limit Seller’s right to exercise the remedies outlined in subparts (b), (c) and (d) set out in the first sentence of this Section 8.01. Seller and Purchaser agree that it is difficult to determine the actual amount of Seller’s damages arising out of an Acquisition Default by Purchaser, but the amount of the Earnest Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to by the Parties in a sincere effort to make the damages certain. If this Agreement is terminated and Seller has a right to receive the Earnest Money, then Purchaser shall execute any and all documents required by the Title Company in order to release the Earnest Money to Seller.

8.02Seller’s Default and Purchaser’s Remedies.

(a)If Seller fails or refuses to timely comply with Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or any Affiliate of Seller fails or refuses to timely comply with its obligations with respect to the Block 21 Service Company Contract or is unable to do so as the result of Seller’s or Seller’s Affiliates act or failure to act, or Seller breaches any of its representations or warranties hereunder, or if Stratus Block 21 Investments breaches any of its representations or warranties under the Block 21 Service Company Contract, and if Purchaser is not in default of any of Purchaser’s material obligations under this Agreement or under the Block 21 Service Company Contract, then, subject to Sections 6.01(f) and (g) (and any corresponding provisions of the Block 21 Service Company Contract), Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, either: (i) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of such election prior to or at Closing in which event this Agreement shall terminate, the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser; or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement if and only if Purchaser complies with all of the preconditions and requirements set out in Section 8.02(c) hereinbelow. If Seller delivers to Purchaser, at or prior to the Closing, a written notice of any breach of representation, warranty or covenant by Seller which involves matters outside of Seller’s control and Purchaser elects to proceed with the Closing, then the Closing will occur without any reduction in the Purchase Price and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any claims Purchaser might otherwise have had against Seller with respect to any matters which are disclosed in Seller’s written notice. In addition to the foregoing Purchaser may recover from Seller all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with Purchaser’s enforcement of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or the recovery of the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser under this Agreement.

(b)If this Agreement is terminated and Purchaser has a right to receive the Earnest Money, then Seller shall execute any and all documents required by the Title Company in order to release the Earnest Money to Purchaser.

(c)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, it is specifically agreed and understood that, for Purchaser to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement or to place a lis pendens on the Property or otherwise encumber the Property Purchaser must (i) timely tender substantial performance under this Agreement, except to the extent such performance is frustrated by any action or failure to act by (x) Seller, (y) any other Seller Party, or, (z) if resulting from or related to the Seller default giving rise to Purchaser’s effort to enforce specific performance, the Title Company, Starwood, Goldman or the loan servicer, and following such tender of substantial performance by Purchaser, Seller fails or refuses to close the transaction evidenced by this Agreement; and (ii) Purchaser institutes, within thirty (30) days after the Closing Deadline, an action in a court with jurisdiction and in the venue specified under this Agreement (the “Court”), seeking to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser satisfies the foregoing requirements, then all sums held by the Title Company shall be tendered to the Court and will be retained by the Court until all disputes between the Parties related to this Agreement have been resolved, either by final non-appealable judgment or by final binding settlement agreement between the Parties. Each Party agrees to execute and deliver such joint instructions, joint motions and other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the transfer of the funds from the Title Company to the Court contemplated under this Section 8.02(c). PURCHASER HERBY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS WHICH PURCHASER HAS OR MAY HAVE TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF SELLER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR TO PLACE A LIS PENDENS ON THE PROPERTY WITHOUT SATISFYING THE REQUIREMENTS AND CONDITIONS SET OUT IN THIS SECTION 8.02(c).

(d)For purposes of this Agreement and the Block 21 Service Company Contract, the term “Covered Matters” means and refers to any breach of an express representation, warranty or covenant by Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments under this Agreement or the Block 21 Service Company Contract or under any of the closing documents of either this Agreement or the Block 21 Service Company Contract which breach: (1) is in existence on the Closing Date; and (2) is not within the actual knowledge of Purchaser or disclosed by the Property Information. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser’s rights to recover damages from Seller and Stratus Block 21 Investments for a Covered Matter are subject to the following limitations, agreements and requirements:

(i)Except for the Carve Outs set forth and defined below, Purchaser will have no right to recover damages from Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments for any breach of representation, warranty or covenant of Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments which is not a Covered Matter. Any representation, warranty or covenant that is not either a Covered Matter, or not expressly included in any of the documents executed and delivered at Closing, will not survive Closing. All of the Covered Matters shall survive the Closing for twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and liability for the Carve Outs shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations. Each Covered Matter shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect after the date which is twelve (12) months following the Closing Date unless, prior to the

end of such twelve (12) month period, Purchaser shall have given Seller written notice of such Covered Matter and Purchaser then shall have commenced a legal proceeding against Seller and/or Stratus Block 21 Investments, as applicable, on or before the date that is twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date.

(ii)Except for the Carve Outs, Purchaser will have no right to recover damages from Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments for any Covered Matter until damages resulting from Covered Matters (after taking into account insurance proceeds and any amounts recovered from third parties) exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of $1,375,000.00 (the “Liability Trigger”). Once the Liability Trigger has been met, then Purchaser may only recover damages for Covered Matters that are in excess, in the aggregate, of $500,000.00, subject, however, to the Maximum Recovery (defined below).

(iii)Except for the Carve Outs, the liability of Seller and Stratus Block 21 Investments for Purchaser’s damages resulting from Covered Matters is hereby limited to $20,625,000.00 in the aggregate (the “Maximum Recovery”), regardless of whether any such liability arises from the actual or alleged negligent, willful or intentional acts or omissions of Seller, Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments or any other Seller Party. Except for the Carve Outs, Purchaser hereby releases Seller and Stratus Block 21 Investments from all liabilities, obligations and claims of any kind or nature arising out of or in connection with the Covered Matters, to the extent that the same exceed the Maximum Recovery.

(iv)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Block 21 Service Company Contract, neither the Liability Trigger nor the Maximum Recovery limitation applies to the extent of damages or losses incurred by Purchaser from the following (collectively referred to as the “Carve Outs”): (1) claims for breaches of the Existence Representation, the Third Party Approval Representation or the Authority Representation, (2) claims under the Seller Broker Indemnification (defined below), (3) claims for breaches by Seller of any Seller Lease Estoppels, Seller Association Estoppels, Seller Hospitality Estoppel or Seller Shared Facilities Estoppel, as applicable, (4)  Fraud (defined below), and (5) the Undisclosed Liabilities (as defined in the Block 21 Service Company Contract). The term “Fraud” means actual fraud involving a knowing and intentional misrepresentation by Sellers or Stratus Block 21 Service Company of a fact, or concealment of a fact, made or concealed with the intent of inducing Purchaser to enter into this Agreement or inducing Purchaser to enter into the Block 21 Service Company Contract (as opposed to any fraud claim based on constructive knowledge, negligent misrepresentation, or similar theory). The damages or losses arising from the Carve Outs will not apply toward achieving the Liability Trigger.

(v)In order to secure Seller’s and Stratus Block 21 Investments responsibility for Covered Matters and Carve Outs, Seller will escrow the sum of

$6,875,000.00 (the “Escrowed Funds”) at Closing with the Title Company in accordance with an escrow agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit R (the “Escrow Agreement”). The Escrowed Funds will be held and disbursed by Title Company in accordance with the Escrow Agreement.

(vi)The provisions of this Section 8.02(d) shall supersede and control over each and every contrary provision contained in this Agreement or in any document or certificate executed in connection with this Agreement.

8.03Indemnification.

(a)Subject to any provisions of this Agreement expressly providing to the contrary:

(i)Except for obligations expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by Purchaser hereunder or under the Block 21 Service Company Contract, Purchaser is not assuming any obligations of Seller to third parties or any liability for claims by third parties to the extent arising out of any act, omission or occurrence which occurs, accrues or arises prior to the Closing Date, and Seller hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by Purchaser as a result of (A) obligations of Seller to third parties not expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by Purchaser hereunder or under the Block 21 Service Company Contract, or (B) acts, omissions or occurrences to the extent that they occur, accrue or arise prior to the Closing Date and result in claims by third parties. This indemnification obligation of Seller does not include damages, accrual of costs, penalties, losses and liabilities accruing after the Closing Date.

(ii)Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, penalties, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that may at any time be incurred by Seller as a result of (A) obligations of Seller to third parties expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by Purchaser hereunder, or (B) acts, omissions or occurrences which result in claims by third parties to the extent that they occur, accrue or arise on or after the Closing Date.

(iii)The provisions of this Section 8.03(a) shall not be subject to the limitation on Seller’s liability set forth in Section 8.02.

(b)The indemnification procedures set forth in this Section 8.03 applies to all indemnification claims by either Party hereunder, under the Block 21 Service Company Contract and any of the closing documents executed in connection with the closing under this Agreement or under the Block 21 Service Company Contract (referred to as the “Transaction Documents”).

(i)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the limitations set forth in Section 8.02), Seller and Stratus

Block 21 Investments agree to jointly and severally defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnitees”), from and against all Losses (as defined on Exhibit V) required to be paid by any of them to the extent resulting from (A) any breach by Seller of any of the representations or warranties made by Seller in Section 6.01 of this Agreement which have not been waived by Purchaser in accordance with Article VI above; (B) any breach by Stratus Block 21 Investments of any of the representations or warranties made by Stratus Block 21 Investments in Section 6.01 of the Block 21 Service Company Contract which have not been waived by Purchaser in accordance with Article VI of the Block 21 Service Company Contract; (C) any failure by Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments to observe or perform its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Block 21 Service Company Contract; (D) the matters for which Seller is obligated to indemnify Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement or closing documents executed hereunder; (E) the matters for which Stratus Block 21 Service Company is obligated to indemnify Purchaser in accordance with the Block 21 Service Company Contract or closing documents executed thereunder; (F) obligations of Purchaser expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by Seller hereunder; (G) acts, omissions or occurrences which result in claims by third parties that occur, accrue or arise prior to the Closing Date as provided in Section 8.03(a)(i) above; or (H) the breach of any and all representations, warranties and covenants relating to the Carve Outs set forth herein.

(ii)Purchaser agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, Stratus Block 21 Investments, their Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against all Losses required to be paid by any of them to the extent resulting from (A) any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Section 6.02 being untrue or incorrect; (B) any representation or warranty made by Purchaser in Section 6.02 of the Block 21 Service Company Contract being untrue or incorrect; (C) any failure by Seller or Purchaser to observe or perform its covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or the Block 21 Service Company Contract; (D) the matters for which Purchaser is obligated to indemnify Seller in accordance with this Agreement or closing documents executed hereunder; (E) the matters for which Purchaser is obligated to indemnify Purchaser in accordance with the Block 21 Service Company Contract or closing documents executed thereunder; (F) obligations of Seller expressly assumed or agreed to be assumed by Purchaser hereunder; or (G) acts, omissions or occurrences which result in claims by third parties that occur, accrue or arise on or after the Closing Date as provided in Section 8.03(a)(ii) above.

(iii)In the case of any claim asserted by a third party against a party entitled to indemnification under the Transaction Documents (the “Indemnified Party”), written notice shall be given by the Indemnified Party to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) as soon as practicable after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim or demand as to which indemnity may be sought, and the Indemnified Party shall

permit the Indemnifying Party (at the expense of such Indemnifying Party) to assume the defense of any third-party claim (so long as the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing to the Indemnified Party its unqualified obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party as provided hereunder) or any litigation with a third party resulting therefrom; provided, however, that (A) the counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be subject to the approval of the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), (B) the Indemnified Party may participate in (but not control) such defense at such Indemnified Party’s expense, and (C) the failure by any Indemnified Party to give written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under the Transaction Documents except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such failure to give written notice. Except with the prior consent of the Indemnified Party, no Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnified Party or that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. If the Indemnifying Party does not accept the defense of any matter as above provided within thirty (30) days after receipt of the written notice from the Indemnified Party described above or does not diligently pursue such defense, then the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to take over and defend against any such claim or demand, at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents for such claim or demand. If the Indemnified Party shall reasonably and in good faith determine that (1), if proven, (x) any such matter would reasonably be expected to expose the Indemnified Party to criminal liability, or (y) that an adverse determination with respect to such matter would reasonably be expected to materially and adversely impact the ability of Purchaser to conduct its business; (2) the Indemnified Party would reasonably be expected to have available to it one or more defenses or counterclaims that are inconsistent with one or more of those that may be available to the Indemnifying Party in respect of such matter; (3) the representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by a single counsel would otherwise give rise to a conflict of interest such that joint representation would be inappropriate; (4) any provision of this Agreement would serve to limit the obligation of the Indemnifying Party to fully indemnify the Indemnified Party for the full amount of any Losses which would be reasonably anticipated to result from any third party matter where it successful; or (5) the Indemnifying Party does not demonstrate to the reasonable satisfaction of the Indemnified Party the Indemnifying Party has the financial wherewithal (including as a result of any Escrowed Funds) to fully indemnify the Indemnified Party for the full amount of any Losses which would be reasonably anticipated to result from any such third party matter were it successful, then the Indemnified Party shall have the full right to take over and defend against any such claim or demand at the sole cost of the Indemnifying Party to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is required to indemnify the Indemnified Party under the Transaction Documents for such claim or demand. If the Indemnified Party

defends any such third party matter, then the Indemnifying Party shall, subject to the provisions of Section 8.02(d)(ii) regarding the Liability Trigger and related provisions, if applicable, reimburse the Indemnified Party for the costs and expenses of defending such matter upon submission of periodic bills. The Indemnified Party shall not settle such claim or litigation without the consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned. Except with the prior consent of the Indemnifying Party, no Indemnified Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that provides for injunctive or other nonmonetary relief affecting the Indemnifying Party or, if an Indemnifying Party was named or overtly threatened to be named in a proceeding, that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnifying Party of a release from all liability with respect to such claim or litigation. In any event, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate in the defense of any claim or litigation subject to this Section 8.03(b) and the records of each shall be reasonably available to the other with respect to such defense.

(iv)With respect to any claim for indemnification under the Transaction Documents which does not involve a third-party claim, the Indemnified Party will give the Indemnifying Party written notice of such claim setting forth, to the extent known by the Indemnified Party at the time of the notice, in reasonable detail (A) the facts and circumstances giving rise to such claim for indemnification, (B) a reference to the provisions of the Transaction Documents in respect of which such Losses have been incurred or expected to be incurred, and (C) the amount of Losses actually incurred and, to the extent the Losses have not yet been incurred, a good faith estimate of the amount of Losses that could reasonably be expected to be incurred, provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give any details in such written notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under the Transaction Documents except and only to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure to provide such detail(s) in the written notice.

The Indemnifying Party may acknowledge and agree by written notice to the Indemnified Party in writing to satisfy such non-third party claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of such claim from the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall dispute such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall provide written notice of such dispute to the Indemnified Party within such 30-day period, setting forth in reasonable detail the basis of such dispute. Upon receipt of written notice of any such dispute, the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall use reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days of the date such written notice of dispute is received. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to provide written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice from the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party either acknowledges and agrees to pay such claim or disputes such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have

acknowledged and agreed to pay such claim in full and to have waived any right to dispute such claim. Once (1) the Indemnifying Party has acknowledged and agreed (or has been deemed to have acknowledged and agreed) to pay any claim pursuant to this Section 8.03(b), (2) any dispute under this Section 8.03(b) has been resolved in favor of indemnification by mutual agreement of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, or (3) any dispute under this Section 8.03(b) has been finally resolved in favor of indemnification by a final and non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or other tribunal having jurisdiction over such dispute, then, within thirty (30) days of the date of acknowledgement by the Indemnifying Party or final resolution in favor of indemnification, as the case may be, the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such claim to the Indemnified Party to such account and in such manner as is designated in writing by the Indemnified Party.

(v)For so long as any portion of the Escrow Funds remains in escrow with the Escrow Agent pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, prior to seeking to recover damages in a direct action against Seller or Status Block 21 Investments with respect to any Losses recoverable from Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments in accordance with this Agreement, Purchaser shall seek recourse against the Escrow Funds pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.

(vi)Each Indemnified Party will use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) tender all matters that are reasonably likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under the Transaction Documents and which are covered by insurance to the applicable insurance companies under the applicable insurance policies maintained by the Indemnified Party, and (B) to mitigate the Losses incurred by the Indemnified Party with regard to all matters that are reasonably likely to give rise to a claim for indemnification under the Transaction Documents. In addition, the Indemnified Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in pursuing claims against third parties who may be responsible for all or a portion of the Losses giving rise to a claim for indemnification against Indemnifying Party pursuant to the Transaction Documents. The amount of any Losses recoverable by an Indemnified Party under this Agreement shall exclude the amount of any insurance recovery and any recovery against a third party.

(vii)All indemnification payments made by Seller or Stratus Block 21 Investments under this Agreement or the Block 21 Service Company Contract to the extent permitted by Applicable Law shall be treated by the Parties as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for purposes of Taxes.

8.04Notice and Opportunity to Cure. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Non-Curable Default” shall mean and refer to: (a) any failure by Purchaser to deliver the Earnest Money on a timely basis as required under this Agreement; and/or (b) any failure by either Party to deliver to the Title Company, on or before the Closing Deadline, all funds, documents and other items necessary to close the transaction under this Agreement. In the event of any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant by either Party or any other default (other than a Non-Curable Default) by either Party (the breaching or defaulting Party being referred to herein

as the “Defaulting Party”) the other Party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) will not exercise any of such Non-Defaulting Party’s rights or remedies under this Agreement until and unless the Non-Defaulting Party has provided to the Defaulting Party a written notice of the breaches or defaults of the Defaulting Party (the “Default Notice”) and the Defaulting Party has failed to remedy or cure the breaches or defaults specified in the Default Notice within fifteen (15) days after the date of the Non-Defaulting Party’s delivery of the Default Notice. In the event of any Non-Curable Default by the Defaulting Party, the Non-Defaulting Party may, at its option and election, afford notice and opportunity to cure to the Defaulting Party, but it is expressly agreed and understood that the Non-Defaulting Party has no duty to afford any such notice or opportunity to cure to the Defaulting Party. Rather, the Non-Defaulting Party may, if the Non-Defaulting Party so elects, exercise any right or remedy which the Non-Defaulting Party may have with respect to any Non-Curable Default, without necessity of providing to the Defaulting Party any notice or opportunity to cure. Further, in the event of any failure of a condition precedent to the obligations of a Party under this Agreement, such Party will not exercise any of its rights or remedies under this Agreement until and unless such Party has provided to the other Party a written notice of the failure of condition precedent and the other Party has failed to satisfy the condition precedent within fifteen (15) days after the date of delivery of such notice to the other Party.

8.05Purchaser’s Post Termination Obligations. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason (either by Purchaser or by Seller), then Purchaser shall: (a) restore the Real Property to the condition which existed prior to any inspections, tests or other activities of Purchaser and/or any of the Purchaser Parties; (b) pay to Seller the full amount of the Independent Contract Consideration (to the extent and only to the extent that the same has not been previously delivered by Purchaser to Seller); (c) remove all liens against the Property which have arisen due to any activities of Purchaser or any of the Purchaser Parties; (d) satisfy all of Purchaser’s obligations under Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.05, 6.05, and 6.12 of this Agreement and compensate Seller for all damages arising out of any breach or default by Purchaser with respect to those obligations; and (e) reimburse Seller for all expenses, costs and liabilities of any kind or nature (including without limitation attorneys’ fees and court costs) incurred by Seller in connection with the enforcement of any of the obligations of Purchaser under this Section 8.05 and/or in connection with the performance by Seller of any of the obligations of Purchaser under this Section 8.05. All of the obligations of Purchaser under the immediately preceding sentence are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the “Post Termination Obligations”. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Post Termination Obligations shall survive any termination of this Agreement, and the Post Termination Obligations shall not (regardless of any liquidated damages provisions in this Agreement) be deemed to be satisfied in whole or in part by the delivery to Seller of all or any portion of the Earnest Money.

8.06Disposition of the Earnest Money.

(a)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions in this Agreement relating to the Earnest Money shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

(b)If the sale and purchase of the Property is consummated under the terms and provisions of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be credited and applied against the cash sums which are payable by Purchaser at the Closing.

(c)If this Agreement is terminated under the terms and provisions of Sections 4.04, 6.01(f), 6.081(g), 6.07, 6.08, 6.09, 6.13, 7.01 or 7.02 of this Agreement, the Earnest Money will be promptly disbursed to Purchaser.

(d)If Seller terminates this Agreement under the terms and provisions of Section 8.01 of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be retained by and/or promptly disbursed to Seller after such termination.

(e)If Purchaser terminates this Agreement under the terms and provisions of Section 8.02 of this Agreement, then the Earnest Money will be retained by and/or promptly disbursed to Purchaser after such termination.

8.07WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES BOTH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE ALL OF THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY WITH RESPECT TO ANY AND ALL DISPUTES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE WHICH ARE BASED ON OR WHICH ARISE OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH: (A) THIS AGREEMENT; OR (B) ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT WHICH IS EXECUTED OR IS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT; OR (C) ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALING, STATEMENT (WHETHER VERBAL OR WRITTEN) OR ACTION OF EITHER PARTY WHICH RELATES TO, CONCERNS OR ARISES OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENT, INSTRUMENT OR OTHER AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THE FOREGOING WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY AND ALL LITIGATION OF ANY KIND OR NATURE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, AND WHETHER RELATED TO ANY DIRECT CLAIM, COUNTERCLAIM, CROSS CLAIM OR THIRD PARTY CLAIM. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES TO THE OTHER PARTY THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR IMPLICITLY, TO SUCH PARTY THAT THE OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER. NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR COUNSEL OF EITHER PARTY HAS THE AUTHORITY TO WAIVE, CONDITION OR MODIFY THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EITHER PARTY MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION 8.07 WITH ANY COURT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE THAT BOTH PARTIES HAVE WAIVED THEIR RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY. THIS WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE PARTIES TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT.

8.08Enforcement Costs. In the event of any dispute between the Parties arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing Party in such dispute shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party all of the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses in connection with such dispute, including without limitation court costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorney’s fees.

8.09Special Damages. ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT OR BLOCK 21 SERVICE COMPANY CONTRACT TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, SELLER, STRATUS BLOCK 21 INVESTMENTS, AND PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE, RELEASE, AND RELINQUISH ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES AND

First Amendment to Agreement of Sale and Purchase3

Second Amendment to Agreement of Sale and Purchase4

This Post-Closing Escrow Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of _______, 20___, by and among ___________________, a ________________________ (“Seller”), ________________________, a _________________ (“Purchaser”), and ___________________ (“Escrow Agent”).

WHEREAS, Seller and __________________________, a ______________________ (“Original Purchaser”), entered into an Agreement of Sale and Purchase dated as of _______________, 20____ (as amended, the “PSA”);

WHEREAS, Original Purchaser assigned its rights under the PSA to Purchaser pursuant to that certain __________________________ dated as of ______________, 20___;

WHEREAS, the Closing (as defined in the PSA) has occurred on the date hereof; and

WHEREAS, Seller and Purchaser are executing and delivering this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.02 of the PSA; and

WHEREAS, Seller has on the date hereof deposited with Escrow Agent, to be held in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Six Million Eight Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($6,875,000.00) (the “Escrow Amount”), to be held and applied in accordance with the provisions hereof; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Section 1.01Establishment of Escrow Account. Escrow Agent agrees to establish a segregated account (the “Escrow Account”) at its office located at _________, Texas, and has received for deposit therein the Escrow Amount. In no event shall Seller be required to deposit any additional funds, other than the original Escrow Amount, in the Escrow Account or otherwise replenish the Escrow Account. The Escrow Amount and any interest, accretions or earnings with respect thereto less any distributions made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Escrow Funds”) shall be held for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser in the Escrow Account and applied, in accordance with this Agreement, to secure the rights of Purchaser in respect of certain claims against Seller which survive Closing as more particularly described in the PSA (“Claims”).

Section 1.02Authorized Investments. At any time during the existence of the Escrow Account, such portion of the Escrow Funds not then needed for the making of payments to any other party hereto shall be deposited by Escrow Agent in a deposit account or money market account at a state or national bank approved by Seller whose deposit accounts are insured by the FDIC to the maximum extent eligible under then-current FDIC regulations, upon instruction by Seller. During the term of this Agreement, all income with respect to the Escrow Funds shall be for the account of Seller. All investments of the Escrow Funds pursuant to this Agreement shall be at the risk and for the benefit of Seller. If Seller fails to instruct Escrow Agent concerning the investment of any of the Escrow Funds, then Escrow Agent shall invest the Escrow Funds in a money market deposit account at a state or national bank approved for Escrow Agent’s other deposits. Escrow Agent is hereby authorized and directed by Seller and Purchaser to sell any such investments as shall be necessary to make any disbursements required hereunder to be made to Purchaser or Seller.

Section 1.03Payments to Seller and Purchaser.

(a)At the opening of business on the date (the “Pay-Out Date”) that is thirteen (13) months after the date of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall reserve in the Escrow Account, in accordance with Section 1.04 below, such portion of the Escrow Funds (up to, but not exceeding, the entire amount thereof) equal to one hundred ten percent (110%) of the amount that would then be needed to satisfy the amount of the Pending Claims (as hereinafter defined) which have been received by Escrow Agent prior to such date pursuant to Section 1.04 below and, then, Escrow Agent shall immediately transfer on such date to Seller the remaining portion of the Escrow Funds, if any, which have not been reserved pursuant to this Section 1.03(a). Upon request by Escrow Agent, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly confirm to Escrow Agent jointly in writing the amount of the Escrow Funds to be reserved in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and Escrow Agent may condition its transfer to Seller of the remaining Escrow Funds upon receipt of such joint written instructions. After the Pay-Out Date and when all Pending Claims by Purchaser are finally paid, compromised, settled, arbitrated or litigated, Escrow Agent shall from time to time pay and disburse to Seller any amounts in excess of the aggregate amount made the subject of any remaining Pending Claims. Upon request by Escrow Agent, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly confirm to Escrow Agent jointly in writing the amount of any such payments or disbursements to be made accordance with the foregoing provisions, and Escrow Agent may condition any such payment or disbursement upon receipt of such joint written instructions.

(b)From time to time, Escrow Agent shall transfer the Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account to Seller or to Purchaser upon the joint instructions of Seller and Purchaser as all or any portion of Purchaser’s Claim is finally paid, settled or arbitrated.

(c)All amounts paid by Escrow Agent to Seller or Purchaser from the Escrow Account shall include all interest earned upon such amounts and shall be by cashier’s check or wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be.

Section 1.04Reservation for Claims. The amount of the claims by Purchaser against Seller for any Claims that have been received by Escrow Agent on or prior to the Pay-Out Date and which have not been satisfied out of the Escrow Funds or otherwise (or withdrawn by Purchaser) shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Pending Claims.” The portion, if any, of the Escrow Funds to be reserved by Escrow Agent pursuant to Section 1.03(a) with respect to Pending Claims shall be the aggregate dollar amount of the Claims by Purchaser as to which Escrow Agent shall have received written notice from Purchaser in accordance with Section 2.01 below on or prior to the Pay-Out Date less (i) the aggregate dollar amount of such Claims as to which Purchaser has received payment as of the Pay-Out Date and (ii) the aggregate dollar amount of Claims as to which Purchaser and Seller shall have informed Escrow Agent as of the Pay-Out Date are no longer being asserted or have been otherwise waived by Purchaser or dismissed in any related legal proceeding.

Section 1.05Rights to Escrow Funds. The Escrow Funds in the Escrow Account shall be for the exclusive benefit of Purchaser, Seller and their respective successors and assigns, and no other person, firm or corporation shall have any right, title or interest therein; and any claim of any person to the Escrow Funds, or any part thereof, shall be subject and subordinate to the prior right thereto and lien of Purchaser and Seller.

Section 1.06Joint Instructions. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to transfer Escrow Funds in accordance with the joint written instructions of Seller and Purchaser.

Section 2.01 Notice of Claim. In the event that Purchaser shall have a good faith Claim against Seller, Purchaser shall give written notice of such Claim to Escrow Agent and to Seller on or prior to the Pay-Out Date; provided, however, that Purchaser may not make a claim under this Escrow Agreement for Claims that are, in the aggregate, in excess of the “Post-Closing Liability Cap” (herein so called, pursuant to the PSA, meaning $6,875,000.00). Purchaser shall promptly furnish Escrow Agent with proof of delivery of such notice to Seller. Such notice shall specify that Purchaser has a bona fide, good faith belief that it is entitled to the amount(s) claimed and shall set forth in reasonable detail the amount of the Claim and the facts which form the basis for such Claim. To the extent such Claim is fixed or liquidated in amount, the notice shall so state and such fixed or liquidated amount shall be deemed to be the amount of such Claim (to the extent so fixed or liquidated) against the Escrow Amount. To the extent the amount of such Claim is not fixed or liquidated, the notice shall so state and, in such event, such Claim (to the extent not fixed or liquidated) shall be deemed asserted against the lesser of (x) Purchaser’s good faith estimate of the Claim and (y) the remaining amount of the Escrow Fund; provided that no payment shall be made on account of the unfixed or unliquidated portion of such claim until the amount of such portion is fixed or liquidated.

Section 2.02 Payment of Undisputed Claim. If Seller shall not, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such notice, advise Purchaser and Escrow Agent that Seller disputes the Claim described in such notice or the timeliness of such notice, then Escrow Agent is, at the end of such

30-day period, hereby authorized and directed to pay to Purchaser from the Escrow Fund the amount of such Claim, together with all interest earned upon such amount, except as set forth in the last sentence of Section 2.01. Upon request by Escrow Agent, Seller and Purchaser shall promptly confirm to Escrow Agent jointly in writing the amount of any such payments or disbursements to be made accordance with the foregoing provisions, and Escrow Agent may condition any such payment or disbursement upon receipt of such joint written instructions.

Section 2.03 Disputed Claim. If Seller shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of a Claim hereunder, notify Purchaser and Escrow Agent in writing that Seller in good faith disputes the Claim described in such notice or the timeliness of such notice, then Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall endeavor in good faith to settle and compromise such Claim, and if unable to do so, Purchaser shall, as a condition to preserving such Claim, file an action on such Claim within twenty-four (24) months after the date of this Agreement or the same shall be forever barred and shall no longer constitute Pending Claims. Upon resolution of such dispute, Purchaser and the Seller shall give the Escrow Agent joint written instruction to release the Escrow Funds in accordance with the terms of such resolution.

Section 3.01 Appointment of Escrow Agent. Seller and Purchaser hereby appoint _____________, ____________, Texas, to serve as Escrow Agent, and Escrow Agent hereby accepts, under the terms of this Agreement, such appointment and the agency created hereby.

Section 3.02 Resignation and Removal of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may resign by giving notice in writing of such resignation to each other party hereto, specifying a date not less than sixty (60) days after the date of such notice when such resignation shall become effective. Escrow Agent may be removed at any time with the written consent of each of the other parties hereto. If Escrow Agent shall resign or be removed, Seller and Purchaser shall appoint, as soon as possible, a successor Escrow Agent. Any successor Escrow Agent shall be deemed to have qualified as Escrow Agent and to have accepted the responsibilities hereunder when such successor shall have executed three (3) counterparts of this Agreement and shall have delivered one (1) counterpart to each of Seller and Purchaser. Upon such qualification and acceptance, the rights, powers, duties and obligations of the original Escrow Agent hereunder shall be possessed and assumed by the successor Escrow Agent with the same effect as though such successor had originally been Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

Section 3.03 Maintenance of Records; Reports. Escrow Agent shall maintain adequate records relating to amounts in the Escrow Account, and shall deliver quarterly reports to the other parties hereto identifying and specifying the status of any investments of Escrow Funds and specifying the balance of amounts held in the Escrow Account.

Section 3.04 Liability of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent undertakes to perform such duties and obligations and only such duties and obligations as are expressly set forth herein, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement. Escrow Agent may rely upon any instrument or signature Escrow Agent believes in good faith to be genuine and to have been

presented or signed by the proper party or parties. Escrow Agent may consult with counsel and any advice or written opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or opinion. Escrow Agent shall not have any liability or responsibility in connection with any representations, warranties or covenants of other parties contained in, or any other provisions of, the PSA.

Section 3.05 Indemnification. Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all liabilities attributable to any act or omission of Seller that may arise by reason of Escrow Agent’s acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement excluding, however, liabilities arising out of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all liabilities attributable to any act or omission of Purchaser that may arise by reason of Escrow Agent’s acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement excluding, however, liabilities arising out of Escrow Agent’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.

Section 3.06 Fees and Expenses.

(a)For its services hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fee.

(b)Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, agree that if Escrow Agent shall incur or suffer any other reasonable costs, charges, damages or attorneys’ fees on account of being Escrow Agent hereunder or on account of having received the Escrow Funds hereunder (including, without limitation, costs, charges, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees as a result of litigation involving this Agreement or the Escrow Funds), then such costs, charges, damages or fees (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with any such litigation) shall be paid by whichever of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, whose action gave rise to such cost, charge, damage or fee or, in the case of any cost, charge, damage or fee arising in connection with, or the subject of, litigation, in such other manner as the court in which such litigation occurs may direct, unless arising from the gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. If it is not possible to determine which of Seller or Purchaser is the cause of such expenses, or a court does not otherwise direct, Seller and Purchaser shall share such costs and expenses equally.

(c)Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06 and any other provision of this Agreement, Escrow Agent hereby expressly acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no lien or other right, nor any claim, on any Escrow Funds in respect of amounts owed or which may be owed to Escrow Agent by Seller or Purchaser.

Section 3.07 Interpleader. Should any controversy arise involving the parties hereto or any of them or any other person, firm or entity with respect to this Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Funds, or should a substitute escrow agent fail to be designated as provided in Section 3.02 hereof, or if Escrow Agent should be in doubt as to what action to take, Escrow Agent shall have the right, but not the obligation, either to (a) withhold delivery of the Escrow Funds until the controversy is resolved, the conflicting demands are withdrawn or its doubt is resolved or (b) institute a petition for interpleader in any court of competent jurisdiction to determine the rights

of the parties hereto. Should a petition for interpleader be instituted, or should Escrow Agent be threatened with litigation or become involved in litigation or binding arbitration in any manner whatsoever in connection with this Escrow Agreement or the Escrow Funds, Purchaser and Seller hereby jointly and severally agree to reimburse Escrow Agent for its attorneys’ fees and any and all other expenses, losses, costs and damages incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with or resulting from such threatened or actual litigation or arbitration prior to any disbursement hereunder.

Each of Purchaser and the Seller shall provide Escrow Agent with its taxpayer identification number documented by an appropriate Form W-8 or Form W-9 upon execution of this Escrow Agreement. Failure so to provide such forms may prevent or delay disbursements from the Escrow Funds and may also result in the assessment of a penalty and Escrow Agent’s being required to withhold tax on any interest or other income earned on the Escrow Funds. Any payments of income shall be subject to applicable withholding regulations then in force in the United States or any other jurisdiction, as applicable.
