Section 1.01. CONTRIBUTION TRANSACTION. At the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement:

(a) SCLP shall and does, effective as of the Closing, hereby assign, set over and transfer to the Operating Partnership, absolutely and unconditionally and free and clear of all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, the Minority Partner Interests, in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 1.02.

(b) SCLP shall and does, effective as of the Closing, hereby assign, set over and transfer the Sub 1 Ownership Interests to Sub 1, and the Sub 2 Ownership Interests to Sub 2.

(f) Pursuant to the Operating Partnership Agreement, the Operating Partnership has accepted the Sub 1 Ownership Interests from the REIT in exchange for OP Units;

(a) Closing Date Consideration. At the Closing and subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Operating Partnership or the REIT, as the case may be, shall:

(i) in exchange for the Minority Partner Interests, the Operating Partnership shall issue to SCLP $[—], which amount is subject to adjustment as set forth in this Section 1.02 (the “Minority Interest Consideration”);

(ii) in exchange for the Sub 1 Ownership Interests, the REIT shall issue to Sub 1 [ ] shares of REIT Common Stock (the “Sub 1 Consideration”);

(iii) in exchange for the Sub 1 Ownership Interests, the Operating Partnership shall issue to the REIT [ ] OP Units (the “REIT Consideration”);

(iv) in exchange for the Sub 2 Ownership Interests, the Operating Partnership shall issue to Sub 2 [ ] OP Units (the “Sub 2 Consideration”); and

(v) in exchange for the GP Holder Stock, the Operating Partnership shall issue to SCGP [ ] OP Units (the “SCGP Consideration” and together with the Minority Interest Consideration, the Sub 1 Consideration, the REIT Consideration and the Sub 2 Consideration, collectively, the “Total Consideration”).

The transfer of OP Units to the Contributors and any subsequent transfers required of the Contributors by the Formation Transactions shall be evidenced by an amendment and restatement of the Operating Partnership Agreement in the form attached as Exhibit D (the “A&R OP Agreement”). The Parties intend and agree that, in determining the cash consideration due to SCLP, there shall be deducted therefrom an amount equal to the sum of (x) any rental payments attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date to the eighteen (18) month anniversary of the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Period”) which by the current terms of any applicable Lease at any of the Properties in effect as of January 15, 2014 (the “Reimbursable Leases”) are agreed to be abated and treated as “free rent”, (y) any amounts required by the current terms of any such Reimbursable Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder during the Post-Closing Period as a “tenant work allowance” or to undertake tenant improvements and (z) any amounts necessary to satisfy redemption or buy-out obligations due as a result of the Formation Transactions or Initial Public Offering to the extent not paid by the applicable Initial Properties Owners on or before the Closing. The Reimbursable Leases are set forth on Schedule 1.02(a) attached hereto. For the avoidance of doubt and by way of example and not of limitation, the approximately $1,000,000 tenant improvement allowance relating to a tenant at the Cherry Creek Property listed on Exhibit A coming due in 2019 shall not be counted in determining such cash consideration. Each of Sub 1 and Sub 2 shall be deemed to bear a percentage of such adjustment to the Minority Interest Consideration in accordance with their respective percentages of the Total Consideration.

(b) Post-Closing Adjustments. The Sub 1 Consideration, the REIT Consideration and the Sub 2 Consideration (the “Adjustable Consideration”) shall be adjusted after the Closing Date as follows:

(i) Within ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall prepare and deliver to Sub 1, Sub 2 and the REIT (the “Adjustable Contributors”) a statement setting forth a calculation of the aggregate Net Working Capital of the Initial Property Owners and the Gibralt Initial Property Owner (as defined in the Gibralt Contribution Agreement) as of 12:01 A.M., New York City time, on the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Net Working Capital”), which calculation shall be prepared in a manner consistent and using the same methodology with the most recent available balance sheet attached hereto as, and any other adjustments shown on, Schedule 1.02(b), and, to the extent not inconsistent with said Schedule, in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of this Agreement “Net Working Capital” as of any particular date shall be calculated by subtracting (x) the aggregate balances in the current liabilities accounts identified on Schedule 1.02(b)(i) as of such date from (y) the aggregate balances of the current asset accounts listed on Schedule 1.02(b)(i) as of such date, in each case, determined in accordance with GAAP, subject to the modifications described on Schedule 1.02(b)(i).

(ii) The Operating Partnership shall comply with the Adjustable Contributors’ reasonable requests for supporting documentation used in the preparation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and to access the Initial Property Owners books and records pertaining thereto. Except as set forth below, the Closing Date Net Working Capital shall be deemed to be and shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties upon the earlier of (the “Final Resolution Date”): (a) the Adjustable Contributors’ delivery of a written notice to the Operating Partnership of its approval of the Closing Date Net Working Capital; (b) the failure of the Adjustable Contributors to notify the Operating Partnership in writing in accordance with Section 1.02(b)(iii) of a dispute with the Closing Date Net Working Capital (an “Objection Notice”); and (c) the resolution of all disputes, pursuant either to Section 1.02(b)(iv) or to Section 1.02(c), by the Independent Accounting Firm.

(iii) If the Adjustable Contributors disagree with the Closing Date Net Working Capital, the Adjustable Contributors may, within thirty (30) days of the delivery by the Operating Partnership of the Closing Date Net Working Capital and such supporting documentation as requested pursuant to Section 1.02(b)(ii), deliver an Objection Notice setting forth the Adjustable Contributor’s calculation of the Closing Date Net Working Capital. Any such Objection Notice shall specify those individual line items in the Closing Date Calculations with which the Adjustable Contributors disagree and the items, facts, amounts, calculations, or valuations used to determine such line items. The Adjustable Contributors shall be deemed to have agreed with all line items or amounts contained in the Closing Date Net Working Capital and all calculations, items, facts, amounts or valuations used in determining any line item of the Closing Date Net Working Capital unless, and only to the extent, such items, facts, amounts, calculations or valuations are specifically and timely objected to in an Objection Notice. If the Adjustable Contributors do not timely deliver an Objection Notice, the Closing Date Net Working Capital determined by the Operating Partnership shall be binding and conclusive on the parties hereto.

(iv) If the Adjustable Contributors timely deliver an Objection Notice to the Operating Partnership in accordance with Section 1.02(a)(iii), the Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors shall attempt in good faith to reconcile the parties’ differences, and any resolution by them as to any disputed amounts shall be final, binding and conclusive on the parties. If the Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors are unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days after the delivery of the Objection Notice, the Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors shall submit their respective determinations and calculations and the items remaining in dispute for resolution to BDO USA, LLP (the “Independent Accounting Firm”). The lead partner of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be named by the managing partner of the accounting firm or by such other practice ordinarily employed by the Independent Accounting Firm. While each Party represents that it is not aware of any conflicts as of the date hereof that could negatively impact the Independent Accounting Firm’s ability to serve in such capacity or to allow for the possibility of such a conflict of interest or a refusal by the designated firm to serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, if the designated accounting firm is not eligible or will not serve as the Independent Accounting Firm, the Adjustable Contributors and the Operating Partnership shall mutually agree to another independent accounting firm of international reputation and the selected firm shall be the Independent Accounting Firm.

(v) The Independent Accounting Firm shall establish such procedures giving due regard to the intention of the Parties to resolve disputes as promptly, efficiently, and inexpensively as possible, which procedures may, but need not, be those proposed by either the Operating Partnership or the Adjustable Contributors.

(vi) If issues are submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm pursuant to this Section 1.02(b):

(A) The Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors shall execute any agreement required by the Independent Accounting Firm to accept their engagement pursuant to this Section 1.02(b);

(B) The Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors shall each bear one-half of the fees and costs of the Independent Accounting Firm; provided, however, that the engagement agreement referred to above may require the Parties to be bound jointly and severally to the Independent Accounting Firm for those fees and costs, and in the event Operating Partnership or the Adjustable Contributors pay to the Independent Accounting Firm any amount in excess of one-half of the fees and costs of its engagement, the other Party(ies) agree(s) to reimburse Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors, as applicable, upon demand, to the extent required to equalize the payments made by Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors with respect to the fees and costs of the Independent Accounting Firm.

(c) The Adjustable Contributors and the Operating Partnership shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve all disagreements as soon as practicable, but in any event within sixty (60) days after the dispute is first submitted to the Independent Accounting Firm. The Adjustable Contributors and the Operating Partnership shall each submit within twenty (20) days of the engagement of the Independent Accounting Firm its calculation of the unresolved disputed items in the Objection Notice together with such work papers, calculations and other materials that such party has determined supports such party’s calculation (the “Determination Materials”). The Independent Accounting Firm shall base its determination of the disputed amounts solely on the Determination Materials. The Independent Accounting Firm shall only consider those line items and amounts in the Closing Date Calculations to which the Adjustable Contributors have timely objected pursuant to Section 1.02(b)(iii) and which the Operating Partnership and the Adjustable Contributors have been unable to resolve. The Independent Accounting Firm shall not assign a value to any disputed item greater than the greatest value or less than the smallest value for such item assigned to it by the Operating Partnership or the Adjustable Contributors, as the case may be. The resolution of the dispute by the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final, binding and non-appealable on and by the Parties hereto.

(d) Within three (3) Business Days after the final determination of the Closing Date Net Working Capital pursuant to Section 1.02(b) or Section 1.02(c), as the case may be, (i) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than $0, the Adjustable Consideration shall be decreased, dollar for dollar, by the amount by which the Closing Date Net Working Capital is less than $0, and the Adjustable Contributors shall pay to the Operating Partnership such negative amount as provided in Section 1.02(e) and (ii) if the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than $0, the Adjustable Consideration shall be increased, dollar for dollar, by the amount by which the Closing Date Net Working Capital is greater than $0, and the Operating Partnership shall pay to the Adjustable Contributors such positive amount as provided in Section 1.02(e), to be allocated among the Adjustable Contributors, pro rata in accordance with their respective percentages of the Adjustable Consideration.

(e) Payments pursuant to this Section 1.02 shall be deemed adjustments to the Total Consideration. The payments to be made pursuant to this Section 1.02 shall be made in cash in immediately available funds to an account designated in writing by the Operating Partnership or to one or more accounts designated by the Adjustable Contributors, as applicable. Until paid, such amounts shall bear interest determined by computing simple interest on the amount from the Closing Date to the date of payment(s) at that rate of interest identified as the “Prime Rate” of interest on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of payment(s) as published in the Money Rates section of The Wall Street Journal (United States edition) (or the rate of interest announced publicly by Citibank, N.A. from time to time as its “reference rate” (on the basis of a 365-day year) if The Wall Street Journal no longer publishes the Prime Rate).

(a) If, at any time after the Closing, the Operating Partnership shall determine or be advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments (including any intellectual property assignments), certificates, affidavits, consents, assurances or other actions or things are necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Operating Partnership the right, title or interest in or to the Ownership Interests contributed by the Contributors or the interests in the Properties owned by the Initial Property Owners, the Contributors shall execute and deliver, or take such commercially reasonable actions as are within their respective control to cause to be executed and delivered, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments (including any intellectual property assignments), certificates, affidavits, consents, assurances and do or take such commercially reasonable actions as are within their respective control to cause to be done, all such other actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right, title and interest in or to the Ownership Interests or otherwise to carry out this Agreement; provided, that the Contributors shall not be obligated to take any action or execute any document if the additional actions or documents impose additional liabilities, obligations, covenants, responsibilities, representations or warranties on the Contributors that are not contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall within thirty (30) days after the Closing, and from time to time thereafter as any Party shall request, reconcile cash amounts received by any Party after Closing and to make such monetary adjustments between them as shall be required to allocate to the Operating Partnership or the applicable Subsidiary all rents and other monies received for periods on or after the Closing and to the Contributors all rents and other monies received for periods prior to the Closing. Rental payments received after the Closing shall be allocated first to the rental payments due for the month in which the Closing occurs (prorated on a per diem basis), then any rentals due for the period after the Closing and any excess shall be applied to any rental amounts owing to the Contributors for any period prior to the Closing.

(b) The Operating Partnership agrees to apply, promptly after the Closing, to Natixis to assume the obligations under the Natixis Guaranty and to execute and/or deliver to Natixis and the Contributors such information (including without limitation financial information), agreements, documents and instruments as required by Natixis or otherwise reasonably requested by SCGP or reasonably necessary or advisable to evidence the release of SCLP from its obligations under or pursuant to the Natixis Guaranty and the substitution of the Operating Partnership as the guarantor with respect to the applicable obligations under the Natixis Loan Agreement originally covered by the Natixis Guaranty.

(a) Each transfer, assignment and exchange by Sub 2, SCGP or the REIT effectuated pursuant to this Agreement shall constitute a “Capital Contribution” by such entity to the Operating Partnership as defined in Article I of the A&R OP Agreement. The transfer, assignment and exchange by SCLP effectuated pursuant to this Agreement shall not constitute a Capital Contribution pursuant to the A&R OP Agreement but shall be treated as a sale. Each transfer, assignment and exchange by Sub 2 and SCGP is intended to be governed by Section 721(a) of the Code. Each transfer, assignment and exchange by SCLP and Sub 1 is intended to be governed by Section 1001 of the Code.

(b) The Contributors, the Operating Partnership and the REIT agree to the tax treatment described in Section 1.04(a), and each Contributor, the Operating Partnership and the REIT shall file their respective Tax Returns consistent with such treatment, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

(i) “Base NOI Threshold” means, with respect to the applicable determination date below, as follows:

(ii) “Eligible New Lease” means a real property lease or an amendment thereof, excluding Existing Leases (but including amendments to Existing Leases or new leases of space currently shown as unleased on Schedule 1.05 (“Unleased Space”) for the expansion of tenants under Existing Leases entered into during the Earn-Out Term at the Central Fairwinds property (as described on Exhibit A), which lease or amendment has

the following characteristics (the “Leasing Criteria”): (i) the initial lease term shall be at least four (4) years; (ii) the aggregate scheduled rental payments during the initial term shall exceed the direct leasing costs associated with the lease; and (iii) the lease shall have been approved by three quarters of the independent directors of the REIT prior to execution of such lease or amendment if such lease (A) requires $200,000 or more in leasing costs or (B) relates to 10,000 or more square feet of net rentable space. The Leasing Criteria shall cease to apply for, and shall not be a condition to the treatment of any lease or amendment to lease qualifying as, an Eligible New Lease if such lease or amendment is entered into following a Qualifying Change in Control of the REIT. For the avoidance of doubt, an expansion of a tenant into Unleased Space shall be treated as an Eligible New Lease whether or not provided for in an Existing Lease and whether or not memorialized in a separate writing.

(iii) “Earn-Out NOI” means the dollar amount of the direct increase in net operating income to the owner of the Central Fairwinds property for the current year resulting from or relating to Eligible New Leases (including any parking rental income associated with an Eligible New Lease with a rental term for parking in excess of four (4) years) using the first year’s rental rate under the applicable lease(s) and the direct incremental operating costs for the current year of the leased space resulting from such Eligible New Leases. In determining net operating income for the application of these tests, the Operating Partnership shall (i) include in its calculation of net operating income the contractual rent payable under any Eligible New Lease without reduction for any rent abatement or free rent, and (ii) otherwise consistent with cash accounting and the methodology used by the Contributors in developing the current budget for the Central Fairwinds property. The Central Fairwinds property shall not be burdened by the application of any internal REIT management fees, general REIT overhead allocation or other non-direct property expenses.

(iv) “Earn-Out Term” means the period from the Closing Date until the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Closing Date, as the period may be extended pursuant to Section 1.05(c) below.

(v) “Earn-Out Threshold” means the attainment of property wide Occupancy at the Central Fairwinds property equaling or exceeding 70%, and, if applicable, thereafter the attainment of Occupancy equaling or exceeding 80%, and, if applicable, thereafter the attainment of Occupancy equaling or exceeding, 90%.

(vi) “Existing Leases” means those leases in-place as of January 15, 2014 and identified on Schedule 1.05.

(vii) “net operating income” as of any particular period, shall be calculated for the Central Fairwinds property consistent with cash accounting and the methodology used by the Contributors in developing the current budget for the Central Fairwinds property as shown on Schedule 1.05(vii). The Central Fairwinds property shall not be burdened by the application of any internal REIT management fees, general REIT overhead allocation or other non-direct property expenses.

(viii) “Occupancy” means as of any particular date, (x) the total net rentable square feet of the Central Fairwinds property that is leased to tenants pursuant to leases for which rent obligations have commenced, which shall for all purposes be the net rentable square footage as set forth on Schedule 1.05 divided by (y) the total net rentable area of the property as measured in square feet as set forth on Schedule 1.05.

(ix) “Qualifying Change of Control” means the direct or indirect acquisition by any Person, or group of Persons, acting jointly or in concert (other than SCLP, Gibralt or any of their respective Affiliates), of voting control or direction over more than 50% of the votes attaching, collectively, to the outstanding voting shares of the REIT.

(b) The Operating Partnership agrees and confirms that it shall make one or more additional payments (each, an “Earn-Out Payment”) to Sub 1, Sub 2 or SCGP or their respective Affiliates during the Earn-Out Term if and when the owner of the Central Fairwinds property enters into one or more Eligible New Leases that results in the achievement of the applicable Earn-Out Threshold. Additionally, within thirty (30) days following the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date, the Operating Partnership shall conduct the calculation set forth in Section 1.05(c) for the Eligible New Leases entered into since the date that the last Earn-Out Threshold was met, if any, which are in addition to the Eligible New Leases used in calculating the most recent prior Earn-Out Payment (such calculated amount, if any, the “Final Earn-Out Payment”). For purposes of determining the Occupancy with respect to the Final Earn-Out Payment, the Occupancy shall be calculated as the lower of the Occupancy on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date or on the 30^th day following the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date. For illustrative purposes, if Occupancy is 88% on the fifth (5^th) anniversary of the Closing Date and 87% on the thirtieth day following the fifth anniversary of the Closing Date, and the most recent prior Earn-Out Threshold achieved was 82%, the Final Earn-Out Payment would be calculated utilizing the Eligible New Leases that resulted in Occupancy increasing from 82% to 87%.

(c) Each Earn-Out Payment shall be calculated by (i) dividing (A) Earn-Out NOI by (B) 7.75%, and (ii) subtracting from the quotient determined pursuant to (i) above any direct out-of-pocket third-party costs incurred in connection with such additional lease up, including, but not limited to, third-party leasing commissions, tenant inducements and free rent. Further, in calculating each Earn-Out Payment, if the tenant under any New Eligible Lease that was included in the calculation of any Earn-Out Payment, defaults in the payment of rent for a period of sixty (60) consecutive days or more, an amount equal to the Earn-Out Payment received by SCLP on that affected Eligible New Lease (the “Claw-back Amount”) shall be deducted from future Earn-Out Payments; provided, however, that if the non-paying tenant is replaced prior to the later of the next applicable Earn-Out Payment determination date or the first (1^st) anniversary of termination of the lease of such non-paying tenant, whether before or after the end of the Earn-Out Term, then the deducted amount (net of any incremental costs relating to the new lease) shall be included in the next Earn-Out Payment and the same shall no longer constitute a Claw-back Amount. If upon the expiration of the Earn-Out Term, the Operating Partnership has not been able to offset any Claw-back Amount against Earn-Out Payments, the Contributors shall each make a payment to the Operating Partnership equal to its pro rata portion of any Claw-back Amount then unpaid in cash, OP Units or REIT Common Stock, at the option of such Contributor, which payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of the expiration of the Earn-Out Term. Any OP Units or REIT Common Stock delivered in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be valued in the manner described in Section 1.05(d). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, payment of any Earn-Out Payment otherwise earned hereunder shall be deferred if the trailing twelve month net operating income to the owner of the Central Fairwinds property for the most recent quarter ended prior to the applicable determination date is less than the applicable Base NOI Threshold (the “Income Test”). The deferral shall continue until such time as the trailing twelve month net operating income to the owner of the Central Fairwinds property at any fiscal quarter end exceeds the applicable Base NOI Threshold, whether the same occurs before or within one year after the end of the Earn-Out Term, at which time the deferred Earn-Out Payment shall become immediately payable.

(d) The Operating Partnership shall have the right to pay up to 100% of any Earn-Out Payment in the form of REIT Common Stock in the case of payments due to Sub 1 and unrestricted and convertible OP Units in the case of payments due to Sub 2, with the remainder of the Earn-Out Payments (if any) to be paid in cash. If any portion of an Earn-Out Payment is made in the form of OP Units, the OP Units shall be valued at a value per unit equal to the 20-day volume-weighted average trading price of the REIT Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange or such other principal stock exchange on which the REIT Common Stock is then traded for the twenty (20) day period immediately preceding the date of issuance of the common units.

(e) The calculation of the amount of each Earn-Out Payment and supporting data and documentation shall be made by the Operating Partnership, approved by the Audit Committee of the REIT and delivered to the Contributors together with all back-up information within thirty (30) days of achieving the applicable Earn-Out Threshold or with respect to the Final Earn-Out Payment, thirty (30) days following the fifth (5^th) anniversary date of the Closing Date, or such later date on which the Income Test is achieved. The Contributors shall notify the Operating Partnership of any objections to the calculation of the Earn-Out Payment within thirty (30) days after receipt of the calculation. If the Contributors do not object within such thirty (30) day period, the Operating Partnership’s calculation of the Earn-Out Payment shall be final and binding on the parties and the applicable Earn-Out Payment shall be due within three (3) Business Days following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period. If a Contributor shall so notify the Operating Partnership of its objection within such thirty (30) day period, the Operating Partnership shall pay to such Contributor or its designee the undisputed portion of the Earn-Out Payment within three (3) Business Days of the expiration of such thirty (30) day period, and either party may elect to resolve the calculation of the disputed portion of the Earn-Out Payment through the process pursuant to Section 1.05(h) below.

(f) The Operating Partnership agrees to provide to each Contributor information regarding the leasing activities at the Central Fairwinds property on a quarterly basis during the Earn-Out Term.

(g) If the Operating Partnership shall directly or indirectly sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Central Fairwinds property during the Earn-Out Term, the Operating Partnership shall, at its option, (i) require the purchaser thereof to assume the obligation to make any Earn-Out Payment(s) thereafter payable as and when due in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement absent the transfer; provided that the Operating Partnership shall not be relieved of its obligations hereunder in the event the purchaser fails to timely pay any such Earn-out Payments, or (ii) pay the Contributors the Earn-Out Payment(s), payable at the time of the sale of the Central Fairwinds property, based on an assumed occupancy level of 90% at such sale date and market rent rates, tenant inducements, free rent and leasing commissions as reasonably agreed to with the Audit Committee of the REIT and otherwise complying with the calculations in Section 1.05(c) above. Any failure to resolve shall be resolved through the process pursuant to Section 1.05(h).

(h) Any dispute with respect to the amount of, or the means of calculating any Earn-Out Payment shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures outlined in Section 1.02(b) hereof. The determination of the Independent Accounting Firm shall be final and binding on the Contributors and the Operating Partnership and any Earn-Out Payment determined by the Independent Accounting Firm to be due, shall be paid within three (3) Business Days of such final determination.

Section 1.06. OP LEASE RESPONSIBILITY. With respect to any lease entered into by the Initial Property Owners or the Contributors at any of the Properties from and after January 15, 2014, the Operating Partnership confirms and agrees that it shall be responsible for and shall pay, or shall reimburse the Contributors for any amounts paid by them in respect of, (i) any amounts required by the terms of any such lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder as a “tenant work allowance” or to undertake tenant improvements or (ii) any leasing commissions, legal fees or other out-of-pocket costs paid or payable by the landlord under any such lease.

(a) Condition to Each Party’s Obligations.

(i) Registration Statement. The registration statement relating to the Initial Public Offering shall have been declared effective under the Securities Act and will not be the subject of any stop order or proceedings by the Securities and Exchange Commission seeking a stop order. This condition may not be waived by any Party.

There exists no matured unfulfilled obligation on the part of any Contributor, Initial Property Owner or any Property to dedicate or grant an easement or easements over any portion or portions of any of the Property to any Governmental Authority.

For purposes hereof, “Solvent” means, with respect to any Person as of any date of determination, that, as of such date, (a) the value of the assets of such Person (both at fair value and present fair saleable value) is greater than the total amount of liabilities (including, without duplication, contingent and unliquidated liabilities) of such Person, (b) such Person is able to pay all liabilities of such Person as such liabilities mature and (c) such Person does not have unreasonably small capital. In computing the amount of contingent or unliquidated liabilities at any time, such contingent or unliquidated liabilities shall be computed at the amount that, in light of all the facts and circumstances existing at such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or matured liability.

Section 4.10. LITIGATION. There is no action, suit or proceeding pending or, to such Contributor’s knowledge, threatened against such Contributor which, if adversely determined, (i) would reasonably be expected to impair the ability of such Contributor to execute or deliver, or perform its

obligations under, this Agreement and each other agreement, document and instrument executed by it pursuant to this Agreement, the Formation Transaction Documents or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or the other Formation Transactions or (ii) would reasonably be expected to result in a Fund Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.11. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.

All notices, licenses, permits, certificates and authorizations required for the continued ownership use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of the Properties have been obtained or can be obtained without material cost, are in full force and effect, are in good standing and will not be terminated as a result of the change in ownership contemplated under the Formation Transactions or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except in each case for items that, if not so obtained, obtainable or transferred, would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Fund Material Adverse Effect. None of the Contributors or the Initial Property Owners, or, to the knowledge of the Contributors, any third party has taken any action that (or failed to take any action the omission of which) would result in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Fund Material Adverse Effect, nor has any Contributor received any written notice of violation from any Governmental Authority or written notice of the intention of any entity or Person to revoke any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization, that in each case has not been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Governmental Authority or other entity and except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Fund Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.14. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, to the knowledge of the Contributors, the Initial Property Owners and their Subsidiaries are currently in compliance with all Environmental Laws and Environmental Permits, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Fund Material Adverse Effect. No Contributor has received any written notice from the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any other federal, state, county or municipal entity or agency that regulates Hazardous Materials or public health risks or other environmental matters or any other private party or Person claiming any current violation of, or requiring current compliance with, any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permits or demanding payment or contribution for any Release or other environmental damage in, on, under, or upon any of the Properties. No litigation in which a Contributor or any Initial Property Owner is a named party is pending with respect to Hazardous Materials located in, on, under or upon any of the Properties, and, to any such Contributor’s knowledge, no investigation in such respect is pending and no such litigation or investigation has been threatened in writing in the last twelve months by any Governmental Entity or any third party. To the knowledge of the Contributors, except as set forth on Schedule 4.14, there are no environmental conditions existing at, on, under, upon or affecting the Properties or any portion thereof that would reasonably be likely to result in any claim, liability or obligation under any Environmental Laws or Environmental Permit or any claim by any third party that would have a Fund Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.15. TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY. To each Contributor’s knowledge, except as set forth on Schedule 4.15, or as would not reasonably be expected to have a Fund Material Adverse Effect, each Initial Property Owner and its Subsidiaries’ interests in any fixtures or personal property that are reflected on the financial statements of such entity as owned by such entity, are owned free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Liens or pursuant to the Existing Loans and are in good working condition, normal wear and tear excepted.

Section 4.16. ZONING. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.16 the zoning of each parcel comprising the Properties permits the presently existing improvements and the continuation of the business presently being conducted on such parcel; no Contributor has received (i) any written notice (which remains uncured) from any Governmental Authority stating that any of the Properties is currently violating any zoning, land use or other similar rules or ordinances in any material respect, or (ii) any written notice of any pending or threatened proceedings for the rezoning (i.e., as opposed to the current zoning) of any of the Properties or any portion thereof except, in each case as would not have a Fund Material Adverse Effect.

Section 4.17. INVESTMENT INTENT. Each Contributor acknowledges that the offering and issuance of the REIT Common Stock or the OP Units, as applicable, to be acquired pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the Operating Partnership’s reliance on such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of such Contributor contained herein. In furtherance thereof, each Contributor represents and warrants to the Operating Partnership as follows:

(a) Such Contributor is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act).

(b) Such Contributor is acquiring the OP Units solely for its own account for the purpose of investment and not as a nominee or agent for any other Person and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof in violation of the federal securities Law.

(c) Such Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters; such Contributor has previously invested in securities similar to the OP Units or REIT Common Stock and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the federal securities Law. Such Contributor is able to bear the economic risk of holding the OP Units or REIT Common Stock for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the OP Units or REIT Common Stock; such Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Operating Partnership and the business and prospects of the Operating Partnership and the issuance of the OP Units or REIT Common Stock as such Contributor deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the REIT and the Operating Partnership and the business and prospects of the REIT and the Operating Partnership which such Contributor deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the OP Units or REIT Common Stock; and such Contributor understands and has taken cognizance of all risk factors related to the purchase of the OP Units or REIT Common Stock. Such Contributor is relying upon its own independent analysis and assessment (including with respect to taxes), and the advice of such Contributor’s advisors (including tax advisors), and not upon that of the REIT or the Operating Partnership or any of the REIT’s or Operating Partnership’s Affiliates, for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and consummating the transactions contemplated hereby.

(d) Such Contributor acknowledges that the OP Units or REIT Common Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, may not be sold unless registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available.

Section 4.18. EXISTING LOANS. Schedule 4.18 lists, as of the date hereof, all secured loans presently encumbering the Properties or any direct or indirect interest in any Initial Property Owners and any unsecured loans relating thereto to be assumed by the REIT or any Subsidiary of the REIT or otherwise to subsist at and after the Closing (collectively, the “Existing Loans”). Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Fund Material Adverse Effect or that are otherwise disclosed on Schedule 4.18, no monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by any party exists under any of the Existing Loans and the documents entered into in connection therewith (collectively, the “Existing Loan Documents”) and no material non-monetary default (beyond applicable notice and cure periods) by any party exists under any of such Existing Loan Documents.

Section 4.19. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The consolidated financial statements of each Contributor, the Initial Property Owners or the Properties delivered to the Operating Partnership (collectively the “Financial Statements”) have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with GAAP during the periods involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto), subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments, and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the Contributor, the Initial Property Owners or the Properties as of the dates indicated therein and for the periods ended as indicated therein. No Initial Property Owner has any liability or obligation (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or otherwise) of the type required by GAAP to be reflected in the Financial Statements, except (i) as set forth on the March 31, 2014 balance sheet of the applicable Initial Property Owner; or (ii) incurred since March 31, 2014 in the ordinary course of business in accordance with past practice and in an amount that is not, individually or in the aggregate, material to such Initial Property Owner. The accounts receivable presently owed to each Initial Property Owner are current and, to the knowledge of the Contributors, collectible in the ordinary course, without resort to third party collections, net of any reserves applicable thereto, and, subject to such reserves, shall be collected in full in the ordinary course consistent with the past practice of the Initial Property Owner. There is no contest, claim, or right of set off, other than rebates in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, under any contract with any obligor of an account receivable relating to the amount or validity of such account receivable.

Section 4.20. INSURANCE. Each Contributor or the respective Initial Property Owner has in place the public liability, casualty and other insurance coverage with respect to each of the Properties owned by it as the Contributor or Initial Property Owner reasonably deems necessary and in all cases including such coverage as is required under the terms of any continuing loan or Lease. Each of the insurance policies with respect to each Property is in full force and effect in all material respects and all premiums due and payable thereunder have been fully paid when due. To the knowledge of the Contributors, neither any Contributor nor an Initial Property Owner has received from any insurance company any notices of cancellation or intent to cancel any insurance.

Section 4.21. EMPLOYEES. None of the Initial Property Owners has or has ever had any employees.

Section 4.22. NO BROKER. Except those fees, commissions or similar payments payable in connection with the Initial Public Offering and the new financing transaction set forth in the registration statement related thereto, the Contributors have not entered into, and they covenant that they will not enter into, any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any Person which will result in the obligation of the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any Affiliate to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar payment in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of such Contributor.

Section 4.23. NO OTHER REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. Other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article IV and any other agreement entered into by the Contributors in connection with the Formation Transactions, including the Formation Transaction Documents and the Underwriting Agreement of the REIT, no Contributor nor any other Person has made or makes any express or implied representation or warranty, either written or oral, on behalf of a Contributor including any representation as to the future revenue, profitability or success of the Initial Property Owners, or any representation or warranty arising from statute or otherwise in Law and the Contributors hereby disclaim any other representations or warranties, whether made or purported to be by the Contributors (or any of them), or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or representatives, with respect to the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any agreement, document or instrument contemplated to be delivered by the Contributors, or any of them, by this Agreement or the Formation Transactions, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby. The Operating Partnership acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied and is not relying upon any representations or warranties other than those contained in this Article IV.

(a) The Contributors shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Operating Partnership and the REIT, and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, partners, agents and affiliates (each an “OP Indemnified Party” and collectively the “OP Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all charges, complaints, claims, actions, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without limitation, interest, penalties, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs of investigation, judicial or administrative proceedings or appeals therefrom and costs of attachment or similar bonds (collectively, “Losses”) asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the OP Indemnified Party, to the extent resulting from any breach of a representation, warranty or covenant of the Contributors contained in this Agreement. In each case, the Contributors shall only bear the fees, costs or expenses in connection with the employment of one counsel (regardless of the number of OP Indemnified Parties). SCLP covenants to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the OP Indemnified Parties from and against all Losses incurred in excess of $250,000 in connection with the minority interest redemption or buy-out provision contained in Section 5.9 of the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of SCCP Central Valley Limited Partnership pertaining to the Property known as Corporate Parkway (the “Buyout Indemnity”). In addition, SCLP covenants to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the OP Indemnified Parties from and against all transaction expenses incurred in connection with the proposed refinancing of the property known as AmberGlen in excess of $475,000 (the “Refinancing Indemnity”). The Operating Partnership shall have the right to set-off any amounts due to the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Refinancing Indemnity against any payments due, if any, to the contributors pursuant to Section 1.02(d).

(b) The Contributors shall also indemnify and hold harmless the OP Indemnified Parties from and against any and all Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the OP Indemnified Parties to the extent resulting from any third-party claim relating to the Ownership Interests such Contributor contributed which arise from matters that occurred prior to Closing.

(c) The Operating Partnership shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend the Contributors and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, partners, agents and affiliates (each a “Contributor Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Contributor Indemnified Parties”; the OP Indemnified Parties and the Contributor Indemnified Parties each an “Indemnified Party” and collectively the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against Losses asserted against, imposed upon or incurred by the Contributor Indemnified Party, to the extent resulting from any third party claims arising under the Natixis Guaranty from and after the Closing Date until the Operating Partnership has replaced SCLP as guarantor thereunder. In each case, Operating Partnership shall only bear the fees, costs or expenses in connection with the employment of one counsel (regardless of the number of Contributor Indemnified Parties).

(d) With respect to any claim of an Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 5.01, to the extent available, such Indemnified Party agrees to use diligent good faith efforts to pursue and collect any and all available proceeds and benefits of any right to defense under any insurance policy that covers the matter which is the subject of the indemnification prior to seeking indemnification from the other party (such party, the “Indemnifying Party”) until all proceeds and benefits, if any, to which the Indemnified Party is entitled pursuant to such insurance policy having been exhausted; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may make a claim under this Section 5.01 even if an insurance coverage dispute is pending, in which case, if the Indemnified Party later receives insurance proceeds with respect to any Losses paid by the Indemnifying Party for the benefit of any Indemnified Party, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party in an amount equivalent to such proceeds in excess of any deductible amount up to the amount actually paid (or deemed paid) by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in connection with such indemnification (it being understood that all costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party with respect to insurance coverage disputes shall constitute Losses paid by the Indemnifying Party for purposes of Section 5.01(a) hereof).

(e) As soon as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any liability or claim incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to indemnification under this Section 5.01, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party, including liabilities or claims to be applied against the indemnification deductible established pursuant to Section 5.01(f) hereof; provided that failure to give notice to the Indemnifying Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party, unless, and only to the extent that, such failure (a) shall have caused prejudice to the defense of such claim or (b) shall have materially increased the costs or potential liability of the Indemnifying Party by reason of the inability or failure of the Indemnifying Party (due to such lack of prompt notice) to be involved in any investigations or negotiations regarding any such claim. Such notice shall describe in reasonable detail the facts known to such Indemnified Party giving rise to such claim, and the amount or good faith estimate of the amount of Losses arising therefrom, and shall identify specifically the basis under which indemnification is sought pursuant to Section 5.01(a), (b) or (c) above, as applicable. Unless prohibited by law, such Indemnified Party shall deliver to the Indemnifying Party, promptly after such Indemnified Party’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents received by such Indemnified Party relating to such claim. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s option and expense, to assume the defense of any such claim by counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; provided, however, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate in such defense at its sole expense; and provided further, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question to all Indemnified Parties a full and complete release of all liabilities in respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money damages which are paid (or deemed paid) in full by the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall not have undertaken such defense within 20 days after such notice, or within such shorter time as may be reasonable under the circumstances to the extent required by applicable law, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the account of such party’s and at such party’s sole cost and expense (subject to the limitations in Section 5.01(f) and (g) hereof).

(i) The Contributors shall not be liable for any indemnification hereunder unless and until the total amount recoverable by the Indemnified Parties under this Section 5.01 exceeds one percent (1%) of the value of the aggregate Total Consideration (valuing OP Units at a value per OP Unit equal to the Offering Price) (the “Basket”) and then only to the extent of such excess, provided that in no event shall the Contributors be liable for indemnification hereunder for an aggregate amount exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Total Consideration (valuing OP Units at a value per OP Unit equal to the Offering Price) (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Buyout Indemnity or the Refinancing Indemnity shall not be subject to the Basket or the Cap. For the avoidance of doubt the parties acknowledge that any Earn-Out Payments earned and received by the Contributors shall be included in calculation of the Total Consideration.

(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, before taking recourse against any assets of the Contributors, or any of them, and subject to the other limitations contained in this Section 5.01, the Indemnified Parties shall look, first to available insurance proceeds (including without limitation any title insurance proceeds, if applicable) pursuant to Section 5.01(d) above, and then to indemnification under this Section 5.01.

(i) Any claim for indemnification under this Section 5.01 (other than with respect to the Buyout Indemnity or a breach of a covenant, which claims for indemnification may be asserted at any time) must be asserted in writing by the Indemnified Party, stating the nature of the Losses and the basis for indemnification therefor on or prior to the first (1^st ) anniversary of the Closing.

(ii) If an applicable claim is asserted in writing on or prior to the first (1^st ) anniversary of the date of Closing (or, in the case of claims under Section 5.01(c)(ii), such date as specified in Section 5.01(g)(iii)) such claim shall survive until resolved by mutual agreement between the Contributor and the Indemnified Party or by arbitration or court proceeding.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, including specifically but not by way of limitation Section 5.01(g)(i) above, any claims for indemnification relating to Section 5.01(c) (other than with respect to the Buyout Indemnity or a breach of a covenant, which claims for indemnification may be asserted at any time) may be asserted in writing by the Contributor Indemnified Parties at any time until the earlier to occur of (x) the date on which SCLP is replaced, and released from any obligations, as the guarantor under the Natixis Guaranty and (y) the date on which all obligations under the Natixis Loan Agreement have been repaid in full.

(iv) Any claim for indemnification with respect to any of such matters which is not asserted by notice given as herein provided relating thereto within such specified period of survival may not be pursued and is hereby irrevocably waived as of and after such time.

(h) Delivery of Indemnification Amounts. Indemnification payments may be made by the Contributors in the form of cash or OP Units. To the extent indemnification is made through delivery by the Contributor of OP Units, such OP Units shall be valued at an amount per

OP Unit equal to the Offering Price. The Contributors hereby authorize the REIT, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, to take all such action as may be necessary to amend the Partnership Agreement, and any exhibits or schedules thereto, to reflect the delivery of any OP Units by the Contributors to the Operating Partnership as an indemnification payment hereunder and to reflect that the Contributor has no further right, title or interest with respect to any such OP Units. Each of the Parties further agrees to treat any return of OP Units in satisfaction of indemnification obligations hereunder as an adjustment to the consideration delivered to the Contributors hereunder

Section 5.02. EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Indemnified Parties, and each of them, (i) hereby acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud on the part of a Contributor hereto) including without limitation, any matter based on the inaccuracy, untruth, incompleteness or breach of any representation or warranty of any Contributor hereto contained herein or based on the failure of any covenant, agreement or undertaking herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 5.01 and (ii) hereby waives, as of the Closing, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action (other than claims of, or causes of action arising from, fraud on the part of a Contributor) it may have against the Contributors, or any of them, arising under or based upon any federal, state, local or foreign Law, other than the right to seek indemnity pursuant to this Section 5. The foregoing sentence shall not limit the Indemnified Party’s right to specific performance or injunctive relief in connection with the breach by the Contributors of the provisions of this Agreement.

Section 5.03. TAX TREATMENT. All indemnity payments made hereunder shall be treated as adjustments to the consideration paid hereunder for United States federal income tax purposes.

Section 8.04. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules hereto constitute the entire agreement and supersede each prior agreement and understanding, whether written or oral, among the parties regarding the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to confer any rights or remedies on any Person other than the parties hereto and the Indemnified Parties.

Section 8.05. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Law of the State of New York.

Section 8.06. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by and inure to the benefit of, the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation of Law) by any Party without the prior written consent of each other Party, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void and of no force and effect, except that the Operating Partnership and each Contributor may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate.

Section 8.07. JURISDICTION. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of (a) any New York State court sitting in the County of New York and (b) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, for the purposes of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and each agrees that no such action, suit or proceeding relating to this Agreement shall be brought by it or any of

its Affiliates except in such courts). Each of the Parties hereto further agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, service of any process, summons, notice or document by U.S. registered mail to such person’s respective address set forth in Section 8.01 shall be effective service of process for any action, suit or proceeding in New York with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any Party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law.

Section 8.08. SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable Law in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other provision, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.

(a) The Parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of any Law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or other document will be construed against the Party drafting such agreement or document.

(b) The words “hereof,” “herein” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and article, section, paragraph, exhibit and schedule references are to the articles, sections, paragraphs, exhibits and schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement, they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All terms defined in this Agreement shall have the defined meanings contained herein when used in any agreement, document or instrument made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions contained in this Agreement are applicable to the singular as well as the plural forms of such terms and to the masculine as well as to the feminine and neuter genders of such terms. Unless explicitly stated otherwise herein, any agreement, document, instrument or statute defined or referred to herein or in any agreement, document or instrument that is referred to herein means such agreement, document, instrument or statute as from time to time, amended, qualified or supplemented, including (in the case of agreements, documents and instruments) by waiver or consent and (in the case of statutes) by succession of comparable successor statutes and all attachments thereto and instruments incorporated therein. References to a Person are also to its permitted successors and assigns.

Section 8.10. EQUITABLE REMEDIES. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that each Party shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement by the other parties hereto and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof in any federal or state court located in New York, this being in addition to any other remedy to which the parties are entitled under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity.

Section 8.11. DESCRIPTIVE HEADINGS. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Section 8.12. NO PERSONAL LIABILITY CONFERRED. This Agreement shall not create or permit any personal liability or obligation on the part of any officer, director, limited partner, employee or shareholder of the Operating Partnership or the Contributors.

Section 8.13. AMENDMENT; WAIVER. Any amendment hereto shall be in writing and signed by all parties hereto. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Section 8.14. SUPPLEMENT TO SCHEDULES. From time to time prior to the Closing, the Contributors shall have the right (but not the obligation) to supplement or amend the Schedules hereto with respect to any matter hereafter arising or of which Contributors become aware after the date hereof including specifically, but not by way of limitation, information contained in any title insurance or property reports with respect to the Properties (each a “Schedule Supplement”), and each such Schedule Supplement shall be deemed to be incorporated into and to supplement and amend the Schedules as of the date hereof and the Closing Date; provided, however, that no such Schedule Supplement shall have any effect for purposes of determining the satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth herein.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be signed by their respective duly authorized officers or representatives, all as of the date first written above.
