TITLE AND PROPERTY CONDITION

4.1Title to the Real Property.

4.1.1Acceptance of Title as of the Effective Date. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Commitment for Title Insurance by Chicago Title Insurance Company, dated December 19, 2010 (CTIC order number 2480-11010) (the “CTIC Title Commitment”), is the entire title insurance commitment, and all revisions thereto, issued by the Seller’s Title Company on or before the Effective Date. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Commitment for Title Insurance by the Title Company, dated July 10, 2011 (FATIC title commitment no. NCS-496515-9-DC72) (together with the CTIC Title Commitment, the “Title Commitment”), is the entire title insurance commitment, and all revisions thereto, issued by the Title Company on or before the Effective Date. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it has received and reviewed a copy of each of the exceptions and other documents affecting title and disclosed in the Title Commitment. The parties acknowledge and agree that Purchaser has received the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey by Dominion Surveyors, Inc., dated May 24, 2011 (the “Survey”), for the Property, which complies with the Survey Standards. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser has no right to object to any Liens or Encumbrances disclosed in the Title Commitment or the Survey, and that Seller shall not be obligated to Cure any of such Liens or Encumbrances except as provided in clause (ii) of the first sentence ofSection 4.1.2(a) below.

4.1.2Liens Arising After the Effective Date. Seller agrees to Cure, prior to or at Closing, (i) all Voluntary Liens; and (ii) the Involuntary Liens, if any, listed onExhibit “S.” If Seller or Purchaser becomes aware after the Effective Date of an Involuntary Lien not designated onExhibit S, Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, shall promptly give notice to the other of such Involuntary Lien. An Involuntary Lien of which Seller or Purchaser receives notice pursuant to the preceding sentence is referred to herein as a “New Lien.” The cost to Discharge a New Lien, or the aggregate cost to Discharge two or more New Liens, is referred to in thisSection 4.1.2 as the “Discharge Amount” for such New Lien, or New Liens. If the Discharge Amount for all New Liens does not exceed $200,000, Seller shall be obligated to Cure such New Liens prior to or at Closing, at Seller’s sole cost and expense. If the Discharge Amount for all New Liens exceeds $200,000, then unless the Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the next sentence and does in fact terminate this Agreement pursuant to thisSection 4.1.2, Seller shall be obligated to Discharge or otherwise Cure, in whole or in part, one or more of such New Liens such that the Discharge Amount of the New Liens at Closing is reduced by $200,000. If the Discharge Amount for all New Liens exceeds $400,000, and if Seller does not agree in writing to Cure such New Liens in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller delivered within five (5) Business Days after Seller either sends or receives notice of a New Lien that would cause the Discharge Amount for all New Liens to exceed $400,000. Upon such termination the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party hereunder except for obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Seller breaches an obligation to Cure, in whole or in part, one or more New Liens pursuant to thisSection 4.1.2 then the condition set forth inSection 8.2.3 shall be deemed not to have been satisfied regardless whether such failure has a Material Adverse Effect. If the Closing occurs, any New Liens of which Purchaser had knowledge prior to the Closing Date shall be Permitted Exceptions.

WRIT Industrial IV

4.1.3Encumbrances Arising After the Effective Date. Seller agrees not to create or subject the Property to any Encumbrance after the Effective Date, without the prior written consent of the Purchaser. If either Seller or Purchaser becomes aware that an Encumbrance has arisen after the Effective Date, or if an update of title after the Effective Date reveals an Encumbrance prior to the Effective Date but not previously disclosed in the Title Commitment (in either case, a “New Encumbrance”), Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, shall promptly give notice to the other of such New Encumbrance. If Purchaser objects to such New Encumbrance, Purchaser shall give notice to Seller of its objection within five (5) Business Days after discovering such New Encumbrance or receiving notice of such New Encumbrance pursuant to the preceding sentence. If Purchaser does not timely object to it, such New Encumbrance shall be a Permitted Exception. If Purchaser timely objects to such New Encumbrance, Seller shall give notice to Purchaser, within five (5) Business Days of Purchaser’s objection notice, as to whether Seller agrees to Cure such New Encumbrance. If Seller declines to Cure such New Encumbrance, then the following shall apply: (a) if the cost to Cure such New Encumbrance, together with the cost to Cure all other New Encumbrances to which Purchaser has timely objected and Seller has declined to Cure, does not exceed $500,000, then such New Encumbrance shall be a Permitted Exception; (b) if the cost to Cure such New Encumbrance, together with the cost to Cure all other New Encumbrances to which Purchaser has timely objected and which Seller has declined to Cure, exceeds $500,000, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement; and (c) if Seller agrees to cure a New Encumbrance to which Purchaser timely objects pursuant to thisSection 4.1.3, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to Cure such New Encumbrance at or before Closing. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) of the preceding sentence, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any obligation to the other party hereunder except for obligations that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

4.1.4Title Policies. If the Closing occurs, (i) the Title Company shall issue for the Property an ALTA 2006 Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (or if not available, the local equivalent) (each, a “Title Policy”), insuring that Purchaser is vested with the estate or interest disclosed in Schedule A of the applicable Title Commitment for the Property, with the initial amount of insurance for such Title Policy equal to the Purchase Price for the Property, and taking exception only for Permitted Exceptions. Purchaser shall have the right, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, to request from the Title Company such endorsements to the Title Policies and/or such additional liability protection as Purchaser may elect to obtain; provided, however, that Purchaser’s ability to obtain such title endorsements and/or such additional liability protection shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and shall not extend or delay Closing. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for negotiating with the Title Company with respect to the Title Policy and/or with respect to such title endorsements and/or such additional liability protection as may be requested by Purchaser, if any.

4.2Reserved.

4.3Inspection.

4.3.1 Prior to the date hereof, Seller made available to Purchaser the information, documents, agreements and reports in Seller’s possession or control relating to the Property (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”) without representation or warranty of any kind or nature, whether express or implied. The parties acknowledge that Purchaser has had the opportunity to review and inspect the Due Diligence Materials and the Property prior to the date hereof. By executing this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges that it has completed its inspections and studies of the Property and it has no remaining contingencies to Closing nor rights to object to any due diligence matters except as expressly provided below in thisSection 4.3.1, and is agreeing to proceed in accordance with the terms hereof (including without limitation, the terms ofSection 4.4 below). Notwithstanding such prior inspections, Seller shall cooperate and provide Purchaser with reasonable and continuing access to the Real Property included in the Property upon commercially reasonable Notice to Seller for the purpose of Purchaser’s inspection; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not perform any invasive testing of any Real Property without Seller’s prior written consent in each instance, which may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion (unless such invasive testing has been required in writing by Purchaser’s lender as a condition to Purchaser’s financing, in which case Seller shall grant or withhold such consent in Seller’s reasonable discretion). Purchaser may meet with any on-site employees at the Property upon commercially reasonable Notice to Seller but, if required by Seller, only in the presence of Seller’s representative. Seller shall have the right to have a representative of Seller present during all inspections or examinations of Seller’s Real Property by Purchaser.

4.3.2 Prior to any entry by Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s designees onto the Property, Purchaser shall: (i) if Purchaser does not then have such a policy in force, procure a policy of commercial general liability insurance, issued by an insurer reasonably satisfactory to Seller, covering all of Purchaser’s activities at the Property, with a single limit of liability (per occurrence and aggregate) of not less than $2,000,000.00; and (ii) deliver to Seller a Certificate of Insurance, evidencing that such insurance is in force and effect, and evidencing that Seller has been named as an additional insured thereunder with respect to any of Purchaser’s activities. Such insurance shall be written on an “occurrence” basis, and shall be maintained in force until the earlier of (x) the termination of this Agreement and the conclusion of all of Purchaser’s activities, or (y) the Closing Date.

4.3.3 Purchaser, at all times, will conduct all inspections and reviews in compliance with all Legal Requirements, and in a manner so as to not cause damage, loss, cost or expense to Seller, the Property or Tenants of the Property, and without unreasonably interfering with or disturbing any Tenants or employees at the Property; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be so liable for the mere discovery by Purchaser or its agents or contractors of any existing condition at the Property. Prior to Closing, the results of or any other information acquired pursuant to Purchaser’s inspections shall be subject to the terms and conditions ofSection 12.17 below. Purchaser will promptly restore any damage to the Property caused by Purchaser’s inspection to its condition immediately preceding such inspections and examinations and will keep the Property free and clear of any mechanic’s liens or materialmen’s liens in connection with such inspections and examinations.

4.3.4 Purchaser shall assume all of the Assumed Contracts on the Closing Date. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that some or all of the Assumed Contracts are Multi-Property Contracts and will be assigned only in part, with the portion of each Multi-Property Contract that does not relate to the Property being retained by the Seller. Each Multi-Property

WRIT Industrial IV

Contract shall be omitted from the Assignment of Contracts and the foregoing partial assignment with respect to such Multi-Property Contract shall be evidenced by one or more separate assignment documents in the form required by the other party to such Multi-Property Contract and reasonably satisfactory to the parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “Multi-Property Contract” means an Assumed Contract pursuant to which services are rendered to one or more properties that are not included in the Property. The Multi-Property Contracts are designated as such onExhibit “C.”

4.3.5 The cost of the inspections and tests undertaken pursuant to thisSection 4.3 shall be borne solely by Purchaser.

4.3.6 Purchaser covenants and agrees that, until the Closing Date, all information and materials disclosed and/or delivered to it by Seller, or Seller’s agents, employees and representatives (including without limitation, the Due Diligence Materials), are confidential and proprietary information, and that Purchaser shall hold the same in accordance with the terms and conditions ofSection 12.17 below. Purchaser also agrees that, in the event the transactions contemplated in this Agreement are not consummated as provided herein, Purchaser shall promptly return to Seller or destroy (and confirm in a notice to Seller that Purchaser has returned or destroyed) all such information and documentation, and all copies thereof, together with copies of all third party reports and studies obtained by Purchaser that do not include information confidential or proprietary to Purchaser.

4.3.7 Except as expressly provided herein, the Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or other information, if any, supplied to Purchaser in connection with Purchaser’s inspection of any of the Property (except that Seller represents and warrants that it has not knowingly omitted any material content from the information provided to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date). Except for Purchaser’s reliance on any representation and warranties expressly provided herein, it is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that any such materials are to be provided only for Purchaser’s convenience in making its own examination and determination as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in doing so, Purchaser shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Except for Purchaser’s reliance on any representation and warranties expressly provided herein with respect to any such materials, Purchaser expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information.

4.3.8 The obligations of Purchaser under thisSection 4.3 (including its indemnification obligations) shall survive Closing or the termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

WRIT Industrial IV

(b) Purchaser shall pay for (i) Lease Expenses to which such Seller has committed under the terms of a Lease or a Lease modification, extension or renewal entered into on or after June 27, 2011 but prior to the Effective Date (all of which are listed onExhibit “D-4”), and (ii) Lease Expenses with respect to any Lease or Lease modification, extension or renewal entered into on or after the Effective Date (other than Non-Approved Leases).

(c) Effective as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall honor and assume all covenants and obligations to be performed by each Seller as landlord under the Leases, including any Lease Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing shall not be deemed to affect any rights of Purchaser hereunder resulting by reason of a breach by any Seller of its representations and warranties inSection 7.2.4(g) above. Purchaser shall reimburse the Sellers at Closing for any payments made prior to Closing by any Seller toward Lease Expenses that Purchaser is obligated to pay under thisSection 5.5.7.

5.5.8Other Income. All income not specifically addressed in thisSection 5.5 and derived by Seller from the Property, to the extent such income accrues before the Closing Date, shall be paid to Seller. All income not specifically addressed in thisSection 5.5 and derived by Seller from the Property accruing or relating to the period on and after the Closing Date shall be paid to Purchaser.

5.5.9Other Expenses.

5.5.10Rent. Rent shall be prorated at the Closing in accordance with the following provisions:

(a)Basic Rent. Subject toSection 5.5.10(c), Basic Rent shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the actual number of days in the month during which the Closing Date occurs. Seller shall be entitled to all Basic Rent which accrues before the Closing Date and Purchaser shall be entitled to all Basic Rent which accrues on and after the Closing Date.

(b)Additional Rent. Subject toSection 5.5.10(c), monthly or other payments made by Tenants in advance based upon projected or estimated Additional Rent shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Closing Date based on the actual Additional Rent collected as of the Closing and the actual number of days in the monthly or other period for which the advance payment is made. Such proration shall be made separately for each Tenant which is obligated to pay Additional Rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenant’s Lease for the determination and payment of Additional Rent. Each payment of Additional Rent that is prorated pursuant to thisSection 5.5.10(b), and the applicable Tenant’s payments of Additional Rent made prior to or after such prorated payment for the same calendar year or other fiscal period during which a year-end reconciliation of Additional Rent is required by the applicable Lease, shall be adjusted as part of the Final Closing Adjustment as provided below inSection 5.5.12.

WRIT Industrial IV

(c)Delinquent Rent. Delinquent Rent (including delinquent Additional Rent) shall not be prorated at Closing and shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller if, as and when actually collected by Purchaser after the Closing, it being understood and agreed that Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect Delinquent Rent on behalf of Seller. Purchaser hereby agrees that Seller or its agents may attempt to collect Delinquent Rent at Seller’s expense, including by commencing litigation to collect such Delinquent Rent, but Seller agrees that it shall not initiate any action that would terminate a Tenant’s Lease or affect a Tenant’s right to occupy the premises leased under its Lease. Rent collected after the Closing Date shall be applied first to Rent currently due, then to Delinquent Rent. Non-delinquent rent for the period after Closing collected by Seller shall be promptly remitted to Purchaser. Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller or Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (i) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (ii) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Seller and Purchaser agree that all rents received by Seller or Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity.

5.5.11Reserved.

5.5.12Final Closing Adjustment. No later than one (1) year following the Closing Date, Seller and Purchaser shall make a final adjustment to the prorations made pursuant to thisSection 5 (the “Final Closing Adjustment”). The Final Closing Adjustment shall be made in the following manner:

(a)General. All adjustments or prorations which could not be determined at the Closing because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year-end reconciliation of Additional Rent, or any other reason, shall be made as a part of the Final Closing Adjustment. Any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser shall be paid in cash by Seller to Purchaser no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Closing Adjustment. Any net adjustment in favor of Seller shall be paid in cash by Purchaser to Seller no later than thirty (30) days after the Final Closing Adjustment. Without limiting the foregoing, the parties shall correct any manifest error in the prorations and adjustments made at Closing promptly after such error is discovered.

(b)Additional Rent Adjustment. Seller and Purchaser shall prorate the actual amount of Additional Rent paid by each Tenant at the Property for such Tenant’s applicable fiscal year (“Tenant’s Fiscal Year”) as follows:

(i) Seller shall be entitled to the portion of the actual amount of Additional Rent paid by the Tenant equal to the product obtained by multiplying such amount by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the Tenant’s Fiscal Year preceding the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the Tenant’s Fiscal Year; and

WRIT Industrial IV

(ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to the balance of the Additional Rent paid by the Tenant.

(iii) If the sum of all interim payments of Additional Rent collected and retained by Seller from the Tenant for the Tenant’s Fiscal Year (reduced by the pro-rated portion of the interim payment on account of Additional Rent paid for the month or quarter in which the Closing Date occurs for which Purchaser is given credit pursuant toSection 5.5.10(b)) exceeds the amount of such Additional Rent to which Seller is entitled with respect to such Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (i) above, Seller shall pay such excess to Purchaser. If the sum of all interim payments of such Additional Rent collected and retained by Purchaser from each Tenant for the Tenant’s Fiscal Year (increased by a pro-rated portion of the interim payment on account of Additional Rent paid for the month or quarter in which the Closing Date occurs for which Purchaser is given credit pursuant toSection 5.5.10(b)) exceeds the amount of Additional Rent to which Purchaser is entitled with respect to such Tenant pursuant to subparagraph (ii) above, Purchaser shall pay the excess to Seller. The adjustment of interim payments received and actual Additional Rent paid shall be made separately for each Tenant and for each type of Additional Rent.

(c)No Further Adjustments. Except for: (i) additional or supplemental real estate taxes, real estate tax credits or rebates, or other adjustments to real estate taxes due to back assessments, corrections to previous tax bills or real estate tax appeals or contests, (ii) any item of Additional Rent which may be contested by a Tenant or (iii) manifest errors, the Final Closing Adjustment shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller and Purchaser, and Seller and Purchaser hereby waive any right to contest after the Final Closing Adjustment any prorations, apportionments or adjustments to be made pursuant to thisSection 5.

5.5.13General Provisions. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all apportionments and adjustments shall be made in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. The computation of the adjustments shall be jointly prepared by Seller and Purchaser. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under thisSection 5.5 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same in accordance with the remaining terms of thisSection 5.5.13. For proration purposes, the day that falls on the Closing Date shall be charged to Purchaser.

5.5.14Survival. The provisions of thisSection 5.5 shall survive Closing indefinitely.

5.6Closing Costs. Purchaser shall bear the cost of (i) the title searches and preparation of the title commitment prepared by the Title Company, and the premium for the Title Policy and any and all endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Purchaser or its lender; (ii) the Survey for the Property; (iii) one-half (1/2) of the documentary transfer taxes and the recording fee for the Deed; (iv) one-half (1/2) of all escrow and closing fees relating to the sale of the Property; (v) all escrow and closing fees relating to Purchaser’s financing; (vi) any

WRIT Industrial IV

mortgage taxes or recording fees for any mortgages securing Purchaser’s financing; and (vii) the fees and charges of third parties in connection with the Environmental Reports (which shall be credited to Seller to the extent that Seller has already paid such third parties).

Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees pertaining to the sale of the Property. All other costs pertaining to the sale of the Property shall be allocated as is customary for real estate transactions where the Property is located. The parties agree to cooperate in all reasonable respects to minimize all such costs, premiums, taxes, and fees.

5.7Distribution of Funds and Documents Following Closing. The conditions to the closing of Escrow shall be Escrow Agent’s receipt of funds and documents described inSections 5.2 and5.3 above, and written authorization from Seller and Purchaser to proceed with the Closing in accordance with the Closing Instructions. Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, Escrow Agent shall distribute the documents described inSections 5.2 and5.3 above in accordance with the Closing Instructions and shall take all other actions authorized by the Escrow Agreement upon closing.

6.1.1Continued Care and Maintenance. Prior to Closing, Seller agrees: (i) to continue its care, maintenance and operation of the Property on substantially the same standards as employed by Seller to date; (ii) not to terminate, change, amend or modify materially any Assumed Contract; (iii) not to make any substantial alterations or changes to the Property, other than ordinary and necessary maintenance and repairs, without Purchaser’s prior approval (provided, however, Seller may make any alterations or changes to the Property that are required by any Lease or by applicable law without Purchaser’s prior approval); and (iv) to maintain in effect all policies of casualty and liability insurance or similar policies of insurance, with no less than the limits of coverage now carried. Nothing contained herein shall prevent Seller from acting to prevent loss of life, personal injury or property damage in emergency situations, or prevent Seller from performing any act which may be required by any Lease, applicable law, rule or governmental regulations, provided that Seller shall notify Purchaser of any emergency situations as soon as reasonably possible thereafter.

6.1.2Leasing of the Property. Prior to the execution of any new Leases for the Property or the renewal, modification or extension of any existing Leases for the Property, Seller shall give notice of its intent to do so to Purchaser. Such notice shall include the amount of

WRIT Industrial IV

space involved, the length of the lease term, the proposed financial terms thereof (including any rent abatement periods or other concessions), the amount of any Leasing Commission, any TI Obligations, and a copy of the form of Lease, Lease amendment or other document to be executed. Purchaser shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice to notify Seller of its objections, if any, to any such proposed Lease or extension or renewal of any existing Lease. Seller shall not enter into any new Lease or any modification, extension or renewal of any existing Lease without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent may be granted or withheld in Purchaser’s sole discretion. Purchaser’s failure to object to a proposed Lease or the modification, extension or renewal of any existing Lease within the five (5)-day period described above shall be deemed an approval by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing (a) Purchaser’s consent shall not be required for new Leases and renewals or extensions of existing Leases evidencing or reflecting the exercise by Tenants of any rights or options, the terms of which are fixed or determinable as of June 27, 2011, under existing Leases; and (b) Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Leases and the extensions, modifications or renewals of Leases (if any) listed onExhibit “D-1” have been approved by Purchaser. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to require Seller to lease any additional space in its Property as a condition to the sale of the Property, and Seller shall not have any obligation to enter into or to seek any Leases for the Property prior to the Closing Date.

6.1.3Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Prior to Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser from the Tenant under each Lease of Seller’s Property an estoppel certificate in substantially the form attached hereto asExhibit “T-1” or, if any Lease requires a different form, in the form required by such Lease, all dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (each, a “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”). The statements made by the tenants in such Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall not disclose any material defaults under such Lease and shall not disclose any information that is materially inconsistent with the information disclosed with respect to such Lease onExhibits “D-1” through “D-3.” Purchaser shall have the right to approve the form of Estoppel Certificate to be delivered to a tenant for signature prior to such delivery. Seller shall not be in default for failure to obtain any Tenant Estoppel Certificates. If the Property includes a Lease under which the Tenant is the GSA, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a novation agreement with respect to such Lease before Closing and, if such novation agreement is not obtained as of the Closing, Seller shall continue to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such novation agreement as soon as is practicable after Closing. With respect to any such Lease to a GSA Tenant, the term “Tenant Estoppel Certificate” as used herein shall mean a statement of lease in form reasonably satisfactory to the GSA Tenant thereunder. The provisions of thisSection 6.1.3 pertaining to novation agreements shall expressly survive the Closing.

6.1.4Subordination and Attornment Agreements. If Purchaser’s lender requests that a Tenant agree in writing to subordinate its Lease to a mortgage lien securing Purchaser’s acquisition financing, or to attorn to such lender or its designee or successor in title in connection with the exercise of such lender’s remedies under its acquisition financing lien, then Seller shall do the following, in each case only upon written request by the Purchaser: (a) Seller shall request in writing that the applicable Tenant execute a subordination and/or attornment agreement in favor of the Purchaser’s lender, in a form provided by Purchaser’s lender; (b) Seller shall follow up with the applicable Tenant in writing to determine whether such Tenant will comply with the request made in the foregoing clause (a); and (c) Seller shall take reasonable

WRIT Industrial IV

steps requested by Purchaser to enforce the obligations of such Tenant under its Lease (to the extent such obligations are referenced in the Purchaser’s request) with respect to the execution of the agreement provided to such Tenant pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), subject to any conditions in such Tenant’s lease, including that the requested agreement contain non-disturbance language in favor of such Tenant. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed with the Closing that the Purchaser or its lender obtain any one or more of the subordination or attornment agreements requested from Tenants pursuant to thisSection 6.1.4, and Seller shall not have any obligation to provide any certificate, agreement or other undertaking in lieu or a subordination or attornment agreement not obtained from a Tenant, or to take any action with respect to such agreements except as expressly set forth in thisSection 6.1.4.

6.1.5Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions of Record. If the Purchaser or the Purchaser’s lender requests that a third party execute a document certifying as to the status of the rights, obligations and/or performance of Seller, or of such third party, under the Covenants, Conditions Restrictions, Easements or other matters of record specifically identified onExhibit U, Seller shall do the following, in each case only upon request by the Purchaser: (a) Seller shall request in writing that the applicable third party execute such certificate, in a form provided by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Lender; (b) Seller shall follow up with the applicable third party in writing to determine whether such third party will comply with the request made in the foregoing clause (a); and (c) Seller shall take reasonable steps requested by Purchaser to enforce the obligations of such third party under any covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other matters of record (to the extent such obligations are referenced in the Purchaser’s request) with respect to the execution of the certificate provided to such third party pursuant to the foregoing clause (a), subject to any conditions in the applicable documents of record. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller be obligated to request a certificate from any owner of a single-family lot, a residential unit in a condominium or cooperative regime, or any other owner of a residential dwelling. For the avoidance of doubt, it shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed with the Closing that the Purchaser obtain any one or more of the certificates requested from third parties pursuant to thisSection 6.1.5, and Seller shall not have any obligation to provide any certificate regarding the matters set forth in thisSection 6.1.5, or to take any other action with respect to such certificates except as expressly set forth in thisSection 6.1.5.

If the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the conditions set forth inSection 8.1, Seller shall have the remedies set forth inSection 9.1. If the Closing does not occur because of the failure of one of the Conditions set forth inSection 8.2, the Purchaser shall have the remedies set forth inSection 9.2.

IX.

REMEDIES FOR PRE-CLOSING AND POST-CLOSING DEFAULTS; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

9.1Default by Purchaser Prior to Closing. If (a) any of the representations or warranties made by Purchaser herein is inaccurate as of the Closing Date in any material respect, (b) after all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligations to proceed with the Closing have been satisfied or, in lieu thereof, waived by Purchaser, Purchaser fails to deposit the Closing Payment and the documents and instruments specifically listed inSection 5.3 hereof with Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, or (c) Purchaser fails or refuses to perform any of Purchaser’s other material covenants or agreements to be performed by Purchaser under this Agreement at or

WRIT Industrial IV

before Closing (any of the foregoing circumstances being referred to herein as a “Purchaser Default”), then Seller’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Earnest Money Deposit shall be delivered to Seller and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except for any obligations or rights that expressly survive termination of this Agreement, and the right of Seller to collect such liquidated damages from Purchaser and Escrow Agent. If the Closing does not occur because of a Purchaser Default, Purchaser and Seller agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to estimate the damages which Seller may suffer. Therefore, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree that, in the event of a Purchaser Default, in addition to attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant toSection 12.2 hereof, a reasonable estimate of the total damages that Seller would suffer from a Purchaser Default is and shall be an amount equal to the Earnest Money Deposit. Said amount shall be the full, agreed and liquidated damages for the Purchaser Default, and the recovery of such amount, together with attorneys’ fees and costs pursuant toSection 12.2 hereof, shall be the Seller’s sole remedy at law or in equity as a result of a Purchaser Default. All of the claims to damages or other remedies as a result of a Purchaser Default are expressly waived by Seller.

9.2Default by Seller Prior to Closing.

9.2.1 If (a) the condition to Closing set forth inSection 8.2.1 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, (b) after all of the conditions to Seller’s obligations to proceed with the Closing have been satisfied or, in lieu thereof, waived by Seller, Seller fails to deposit the documents and instruments specifically listed inSection 5.2 hereof with Escrow Agent on the Closing Date, or (c) the condition to Closing set forth inSection 8.2.3 is not satisfied as of the Closing Date, (any of the foregoing circumstances being referred to herein as a “Seller Default”), then Purchaser’s sole remedy shall be: (i) solely in the case of a Seller Default referred to in Clause (b) of thisSection 9.2.1, to pursue an action against Seller for specific performance, provided that such action must be initiated within ninety (90) days following the date on which the Closing should have occurred in accordance with this Agreement; or (ii) in the case of Clause (a), (b) or (c) of thisSection 9.2.1, to terminate this Agreement as and when permitted pursuant toSection 9.2.3, and thereupon to receive the Earnest Money Deposit and reimbursement from Sellers when and to the extent provided below inSection 9.2.3. All other claims to damages or other remedies in connection with a Seller Default are expressly waived by Purchaser. The refund of the Earnest Money Deposit and the payment of the expenses as set forth inSection 9.2.3 is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to Purchaser.

9.2.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Purchaser would otherwise have the right to terminate this Agreement because of a Seller Default, then Purchaser and (except as provided in thisSection 9.2.2 with respect to a Designated Seller Breach) Seller shall each have the right to postpone the Closing Date in accordance with thisSection 9.2.2 (the “Delayed Closing Right”). If a Seller Default has occurred, Purchaser shall deliver notice to Seller on or prior to the Closing Date (a “Default Notice”), indicating whether or not Purchaser will exercise the Delayed Closing Right. If the

WRIT Industrial IV

Purchaser has not elected to exercise the Delayed Closing Right, Seller shall have the right, by written notice to the Purchaser delivered within five (5) Business Days after the intended Closing Date, to exercise the Delayed Closing Right to cure any Seller Default (other than a Designated Seller Breach). If either Seller or Purchaser elects to exercise the Delayed Closing Right, then the following provisions shall apply: (a) the Closing Date shall be postponed until a date that is not later than seventy-five (75) days after the Closing Date, and (b) if Seller cures the Seller Default within such seventy-five (75) days, Purchaser shall be obligated to purchase the Property promptly after such cure is completed. As used herein, the term “Designated Seller Breach” means an intentional beach by Seller of any of the following, in each case if such breach (or, if more than one such breach occurs, all of such breaches) has an Adverse Effect: (x) the obligation to deposit with Escrow Agent the documents and instruments specifically listed inSection 5.2 hereof, on or before the Closing Date; (y) the fourth (4^th) sentence ofSection 6.1.2; or (z) the first sentence ofSection 4.1.3 (if such breach is due to an Encumbrance executed by Seller).

9.2.3 If neither Seller nor the Purchaser elect to exercise the Delayed Closing Right to allow for the cure of a Seller Default as provided above in Section 9.2.2, then the Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in its entirety by written notice to Seller given on or before the date that is fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing Date. If the Closing Date is postponed as to the Property as provided above inSection 9.2.2, but if the Seller Default remains uncured at the end of the seventy-five (75) day period set forth therein, then the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, by written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the end of such seventy-five (75) day period. Upon the termination of this Agreement by the Purchaser pursuant to thisSection 9.2.3: (a) the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser; (b) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for third-party out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, up to a maximum reimbursement amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); and (c) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, each to the other, except any indemnification obligations, the rights of Seller and Purchaser that survive as provided herein, except for the right of Purchaser to collect such reimbursement from Seller by clause (b) of this sentence, and except for rights or obligations relating to the Property or Property, if any, as to which this Agreement remains in effect.

WRIT Industrial IV

limitation, Proceedings, Liens and Violation Notices) shall not be considered a Material Adverse Effect unless and until the Liquidated Amount with respect to such single adverse effect or combination of adverse effects exceeds two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price.

9.3.2 For purposes of this Agreement, “Adverse Effect” means a material adverse effect on the Property, the Purchaser’s title to the Property after Closing, or the results of operations or financial condition of the Property caused by any event, circumstance, development, condition, occurrence, state of facts, change or effect, in each case excluding the impact of any event, circumstance, development, condition, occurrence, state of facts, change or effect caused by Purchaser or any Person acting on Purchaser’s behalf. For purposes of determining the existence of an Adverse Effect, any single adverse effect, or combination of adverse effects, caused by one or more events, circumstances, developments, conditions, occurrences, states of fact, changes or effects (including, without limitation, Proceedings, Liens and Violation Notices) shall not be considered an Adverse Effect unless and until the Liquidated Amount with respect to such single adverse effect or combination of adverse effects exceeds two percent (2%) of the Property’s Purchase Price.

9.3.3 If it is necessary to determine the potential exposure, the cost to Discharge or remediate, or the unpaid amount of any event, circumstance, development, condition, occurrence, state of facts, change or effect (collectively, the “Liquidated Amount”) in order to apply the provisions ofSection 9.3.1 orSection 9.3.2, Seller and Purchaser shall mutually agree on such determination(s), each acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

9.4Limitations of Purchaser’s Post-Closing Claims. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein or in any document or instrument (including any deeds, bill of sale or assignments) executed by Seller and delivered to Purchaser at or in connection with the Closing (collectively, “Closing Documents”), Seller shall not have (and Seller is exculpated and released from) any Claim or liability whatsoever with respect to, and Purchaser shall be forever barred from making or bringing any Claims or asserting any liability against Seller with respect to (i) any of the representations and warranties, covenants or indemnities contained in this Agreement or in any Closing Document made by Seller, unless and until (and only to the extent) that the aggregate amount of all losses actually incurred by the Purchaser for a breach of the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities made and undertaken in this Agreement by Seller exceeds the Threshold Amount; and (ii) any of the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities made and undertaken in this Agreement by Seller, if and to the extent that the total liability of Seller for breaches of any of the foregoing would otherwise exceed the Cap Amount. As used herein: (i) “Threshold Amount” means an amount equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), and (ii) the “Cap Amount” means an amount equal to 1.4% of the Purchase Price.

9.5Other Limitations of Purchaser’s Claims. Purchaser shall not make any Claim or bring any proceeding to enforce the liability of Seller unless Purchaser believes, in good faith, that it would be entitled to recover all or a portion of the alleged damages or other liability notwithstanding the limitations on Seller’s liability set forth above inSection 9.4. In no event shall Seller be liable for indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind, and Purchaser shall be barred from and hereby waives any Claim for the same.

WRIT Industrial IV

9.6Survival of Purchaser’s Claims. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of Seller contained herein or in any Closing Document shall survive only until the date that is nine (9) months after the Closing Date (the “Survival Date”). Any permitted Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against Seller for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity (other than a representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement), whether known or unknown, with respect to which a written notice providing specific details of the alleged breach (a “Claim Notice”) has not been delivered to Seller on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any Claim that Purchaser may have at any time against Seller for a breach of any such representation or warranty, or its covenants and indemnities whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to Seller on or prior to the Survival Date (a “Pending Claim”) may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by Purchaser against Seller. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Survival Date, Seller shall be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to Purchaser and/or its successors and assigns with respect to any Claims or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any Closing Document, except for those matters that are then the subject of the pending Claim Notice delivered by Purchaser to Seller that is still pending on the Survival Date, and except for liabilities with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement.

9.7Survival of Seller’s Claims. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, the representations and warranties, covenants and indemnities of Purchaser contained herein or in any document or instrument executed by Purchaser and delivered to Seller at or in connection with the Closing (collectively, “Purchaser Closing Documents”) shall survive only until the Survival Date. Any Claim that Seller may have any time against Purchaser for breach of any such representation, warranty, covenant, or indemnity (other than a representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement), whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has not been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date, shall not be valid or effective and the party against whom such Claim is asserted shall have no liability with respect thereto. Any Claim that Seller may have at any time against Purchaser for a breach of any such representation or warranty, covenants and indemnities whether known or unknown, with respect to which a Claim Notice has been delivered to Purchaser on or prior to the Survival Date may be the subject of subsequent litigation brought by Seller against Purchaser. For the avoidance of doubt, on the Survival Date, Purchaser shall be fully discharged and released (without the need for separate releases or other documentation) from any liability or obligation to Seller and/or their successors and assigns with respect to any Claims or any other matter relating to this Agreement or any Purchaser Closing Document, except for those matters that are then the subject of the pending Claim Notice delivered by Seller to Purchaser that is still pending on the Survival Date, and except for liabilities with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity that survives indefinitely pursuant to an express provision of this Agreement.

9.8Limitations on Liability.

9.8.1 The parties hereto confirm and agree that in each instance herein where a party or its Affiliates is entitled to payment or reimbursement for damages, costs or expenses pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any payment or reimbursement made to such party shall be conclusively deemed to be for the account of both such party and its Affiliates, it being acknowledged and agreed that a payment or reimbursement made to such party for damages, costs or expenses shall be sufficient to satisfy all claims for payment or reimbursement of such party and its Affiliates. The parties further confirm and agree that no party hereto (a “Non-Performing Party”) will be deemed to be in default hereunder or be liable for any breach of its representations and warranties under this Agreement if its failure to perform an obligation hereunder is based solely on the non-performance of another party to this Agreement (which other party is not an Affiliate of the Non-Performing Party) or where all conditions precedent to the obligation of such Non-Performing Party to consummate the Closing have not been fulfilled. In no event will either party be liable to the other for any indirect, special, consequential or punitive damages of any kind.

9.9Indemnification

9.9.1 Subject to any express provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, and subject to the limitations set forth in thisArticle IX (including the provisions ofSections9.4 through9.6), from and after Closing, Seller hereby agrees to Indemnify Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates and their respective members, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, and representatives, and the successors of any of the foregoing (collectively, “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) with respect to any Claims arising from (i) any obligations with respect to which Seller receives a credit at Closing (to the extent of such credit), (ii) any material breach by Seller of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and (iii) liabilities to any third party for personal injury, death or damage to personal property that accrue prior to Closing and are based upon any matter relating to the use, maintenance or operation of the Property (except to the extent any such Claim, or the liability of Seller with respect to such Claims, is waived or released by Purchaser pursuant toSection 4.4 above or any other provision of this Agreement). The foregoing indemnification shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Purchaser and the Purchaser Indemnified Parties for any Claims arising out of the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).

WRIT Industrial IV

the Purchaser of its representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement, and (iii) liabilities to any third party for personal injury, death or damage to personal property that accrue from and after the Closing and are based upon any matter relating to the use, maintenance or operation of the Property (except to the extent any such Claim, or the liability of Purchaser with respect to such Claims, is waived or released by Seller pursuant to another provision of this Agreement). The foregoing indemnification shall be sole and exclusive remedy of Seller and the Seller Indemnified Parties for any Claims arising out of the matters set forth in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii).

9.10Survival. Article IX shall survive the Closing.

Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person engaged or retained by Seller in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation, Broker. Seller and Purchaser (except with respect to the commission which shall be paid by Seller to Broker) each agree to Indemnify the other with respect to Claims for payment of any commission, finder’s fee or other sum initiated by any broker, commission agent or other person which such party or its representatives has engaged or retained or with which it has had discussions concerning or which shall be based upon any statement or agreement alleged to have been made by such party, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the sale of all of the Property by Seller.

MISCELLANEOUS

12.1Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland.

WRIT Industrial IV

12.2Professional Fees and Costs. If a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceedings are instituted by any party to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement against any other party hereto, the prevailing party in such litigation, arbitration or proceedings shall be entitled, as an additional item of damages, to such reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees and costs (including, but not limited to, witness fees), court costs, arbitrators’ fees, arbitration administrative fees, travel expenses, and other reasonable, actual, out-of pocket expenses or costs of such other proceedings, which amount shall be determined by any court of competent jurisdiction, arbitrator or other judicial or quasi-judicial body having jurisdiction thereof, whether or not such litigation or proceedings proceed to a final judgment or award. For the purposes of this section, any party receiving an arbitration award or a judgment for damages or other amounts shall be deemed to be the prevailing party, regardless of amount of the damage awarded or whether the award or judgment was based on all or some of such party’s claims or causes of action, and any party against whom a lawsuit, arbitration or other proceeding is instituted and later voluntarily dismissed by the instituting party shall be deemed to be the prevailing party.

12.3Exhibits and Schedules a Part of This Agreement. The Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto are incorporated in this Agreement by reference and are hereby made a part hereof.

12.4Executed Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument; signature pages may be detached from multiple separate counterparts and attached to a single counterpart so that all signature pages are physically attached to the same document. This Agreement shall become effective upon the due execution and delivery of this Agreement to the parties hereto.

12.5Assignment. Purchaser may not assign, convey and otherwise transfer all or any part of its interest or rights herein without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole discretion.

Seller shall upon request consent in writing to any such assignment that is made in accordance with the terms of this Section. Seller may not assign or transfer their respective rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser (in which event such transferee shall assume in writing all of the transferor’s obligations hereunder, but such transferor shall not be released from its obligations hereunder). No transfer or assignment by either party in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable.

12.7Successors and Assigns. Subject to the provisions ofSection 12.5 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

12.8Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

12.9Entire Agreement. This Agreement, and Exhibits and Schedules and other documents and instruments attached to or referenced herein, contain the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property, and all prior and contemporaneous understandings, letters of intent, agreements and representations, whether oral or written, are entirely superseded. Except for any of the following expressly contained in this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser each expressly disclaim any reliance on any oral or written representations, warranties, comments, statements or assurances made by Seller, Purchaser, and any of their respective affiliates, and their respective agents, employees, representatives, attorneys or brokers, as an inducement or otherwise, to Purchaser’s and Seller’s respective execution hereof.

The terms of this section shall survive Closing and/or termination of this Agreement.

12.11Waiver. Failure or delay by either party to insist on the strict performance of any covenant, term, provision or condition hereunder, or to exercise any option herein contained, or to pursue any claim or right arising herefrom, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver of such covenant, term, provision, condition, option, claim or right (except that if a party proceeds to Closing, notwithstanding the failure of a condition to its obligation to close, then such condition shall be deemed waived by virtue of the Closing). Any waiver by either party shall be effective only if in a writing delivered to the other party hereto and setting forth, with specificity, the covenant, term, provision or condition so waived. Any such waiver shall not constitute or be construed as a continuing waiver of any subsequent default.

WRIT Industrial IV

12.12Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not limit or define the meaning of the provisions of this Agreement.

12.13Risk of Loss. The risk of loss shall be as follows:

12.13.1Risk of Loss. Until the Closing Date, Seller shall bear the risk of loss resulting from damage to the Property by fire or other casualty (collectively “Casualty”). If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property shall be damaged by any Casualty, Seller shall promptly deliver to Purchaser a Notice (“Casualty Notice”) of such event. Upon Purchaser’s receipt of a Casualty Notice, Seller and Purchaser shall meet promptly to estimate the cost to repair and restore the Improvements to good condition and to replace the damaged Personal Property (“Casualty Renovation Cost”). If the parties are unable to agree on the cost of restoration, the matter will be submitted to an engineer designated by Seller and an engineer designated by Purchaser, each licensed to practice in the jurisdiction in which the Land is located, and the engineers shall resolve the dispute. If the engineers fail to resolve the dispute, they shall designate a third engineer, who shall determine such resolution, which determination shall be binding on Seller and Purchaser. Each party hereto shall bear the costs and expenses of its own engineer. The cost of a third engineer, if any is appointed by the parties’ respective engineers, shall be borne one half (1/2) by Seller and one half (1/2) by Purchaser.

12.13.2Material Loss. If the Casualty Renovation Cost for the Property exceeds five percent (5%) of the Property’s Purchase Price, then Purchaser may, at its option, elect to terminate this Agreement. Such termination right may be exercised only by Notice to the Seller within ten (10) business days after the date that the Casualty Renovation Cost for the Property is determined to exceed the applicable amount stated in the preceding sentence (and if necessary the Closing Date will be extended to accommodate such ten (10) business day period). If this Agreement can be terminated pursuant to the preceding provisions of thisSection 12.13.2, but Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to such provision, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser in the event the Casualty is insured against and Seller shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible not already otherwise paid by Seller under applicable insurance policies, or have the Purchase Price reduced by the Casualty Renovation Cost in the event the Casualty is not fully insured against (subject to further adjustment for actual restoration costs).

12.13.3Nonmaterial Loss. If the Casualty Renovation Cost for the Property does not exceed five percent (5%) of the Property’s Purchase Price then, in any such event, Purchaser shall not have any right to terminate this Agreement, but the Closing shall take place as provided herein without reduction of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign the insurance proceeds to Purchaser in the event the Casualty is insured against and shall pay to Purchaser the amount of any deductible, under applicable insurance policies, or have the Purchase Price reduced by the Casualty Renovation Cost in the event the Casualty is not fully insured against (subject to further adjustment for actual restoration costs).

12.13.4Eminent Domain. If, prior to the Closing Date, Seller receives notice that a material portion of the Property (or access or other material rights in connection therewith) as would, in Purchaser’s reasonable judgment, materially adversely affect the operation of the

WRIT Industrial IV

Property or uses of the Property is, or has been threatened in writing by a governmental authority of competent jurisdiction, to be taken by condemnation or eminent domain, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser, and at the election of Purchaser this Agreement shall, upon the giving of Notice of such event or of the condemning authorities’ intention so to take the Property, terminate. If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement prior to the Closing Date, on the Closing Date all of the proceeds of any award or payment made or to be made by reason of such taking shall be assigned by Seller to Purchaser, and any money theretofore received by Seller in connection with such taking shall be paid over to Purchaser, whereupon Purchaser shall pay the Purchase Price without abatement by reason of such taking. Seller shall not settle, agree to, or accept any award or payment in connection with a taking of less than all of the Property without obtaining Purchaser’s prior written consent in each case, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. As used in this Section, “material portion,” “material rights” or “materially adversely affect” shall mean a taking or condemnation that (a) would reduce available parking below that required by, or in general cause a violation of, any Legal Requirements or any Permitted Exceptions that would result in a Material Adverse Effect, or (b) would result in a condemnation award reasonably estimated to exceed five percent (5%) of the Property’s Purchase Price.

The words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and words of similar reference shall mean this Agreement. The words “this Agreement” include the exhibits, schedules addenda and any future written modifications, unless otherwise indicated by the context. The words “will,” “shall” and “must” in this Agreement indicate a mandatory obligation. All dollar amounts set forth in this Agreement are stated in United States Dollars, unless otherwise specified.

The words “month” and “months” refer to calendar months unless otherwise stated. The words “year” and “years” refer to calendar years unless otherwise stated.

WRIT Industrial IV

12.16Covenants, Representations and Warranties. By proceeding with the closing of the sale transaction, Seller and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived, and so covenant to waive, any claims of defaults or breaches by the other party existing on or as of the Closing Date whether under this Agreement or any other document or instrument executed by the other party in connection with this transaction, of which the waiving party was made aware by Notice from the defaulting or breaching party (and, if applicable, which is described on Seller’s certification of representations and warranties to be delivered at Closing) prior to the Closing Date for which the other party shall have no liability.

12.17Press Releases; Confidentiality. Either party may issue press releases and other public communications announcing the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without the consent of the other party. In addition, Seller and its affiliates may make such filings with the SEC as are required in connection with the matters contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such press release or other communication shall include any information (other than the identification of the parties) that is required to be kept confidential pursuant to the remaining provisions of thisSection 12.17. Purchaser shall refrain, and shall use reasonable efforts to cause its agents and representatives to refrain, from disclosing in any manner whatsoever, (a) the information provided to Purchaser by Seller or its representatives, or (b) any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents or records prepared by or on behalf of Purchaser, in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of any of the Property, without first obtaining the written consent of Seller (collectively, “Proprietary Information”). The foregoing shall not preclude Purchaser (i) from discussing the Proprietary Information with any person who is employed by Purchaser or who, on behalf of Purchaser, is actively and directly participating in the purchase and sale of the Property, including, without limitation, to Purchaser’s shareholders, partners, members, existing or prospective lenders, attorneys, accountants and other consultants and advisors, or (ii) from complying with all laws, rules, regulations and court orders, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements; provided, however, that if Purchaser is required by applicable law or legal process to disclose any Proprietary Information, Purchaser agrees to furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which Purchaser is legally compelled to disclose and to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that, if possible, confidential treatment will be accorded to the Proprietary Information. Purchaser shall inform its respective representatives of the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information and shall direct them to be bound by the terms of this section. In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance, against Purchaser in order to enforce the provisions of this section. The provisions of such confidentiality agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Purchaser agrees not to contact, directly or indirectly, any personnel at any of the Property prior to the Closing Date, and agrees to be liable for all of Seller’s damages in the event of any such contact by Purchaser or any of its agents or representatives.

12.18No Third-Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, Seller and Purchaser agree that there are no third parties who are intended to benefit from or who are entitled to rely on any of the provisions of this Agreement. No third party shall be entitled to assert any claims or to enforce any rights whatsoever pursuant to this Agreement. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the covenants and agreements provided in this Agreement are solely for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their permitted successors and assigns respectively.

WRIT Industrial IV

12.19Facsimile Signatures. The execution of this Agreement and all Notices given hereunder and all amendments hereto, may be effected by facsimile signatures, all of which shall be treated as originals; provided, however, that the party receiving a document with a facsimile signature may, by Notice to the other, require the prompt delivery of an original signature to evidence and confirm the delivery of the facsimile signature. Purchaser and Seller each intend to be bound by its respective facsimile transmitted signature, and is aware that the other party will rely thereon, and each party waives any defenses to the enforcement of the Agreement, and documents, and any Notices delivered by facsimile transmission.

12.20Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

12.21Cumulative Remedies. No remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute (except as otherwise expressly herein provided).

12.22Consents and Approvals. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any approval or consent provided to be given by a party hereunder may be given or withheld in the absolute discretion of such party.

12.23WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE FILED AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A TRIAL BY THE COURT.

12.241031 Exchange. Seller and/or Purchaser (or a parent entity of Seller or the Purchaser that is recognized as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes) may consummate the sale of the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to § 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in accordance with the following provisions:

12.24.1 If Seller or Purchaser elects to effectuate an Exchange, and such Exchange cannot be effected for any reason, Seller and Purchaser shall be obligated to close the transaction as a purchase and sale pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

WRIT Industrial IV

12.24.2 To exercise its right under this Section 12.24 to exchange, rather than sell or purchase, as applicable, all or some of the Property, Seller or Purchaser shall provide the other party with a written statement stating its intent to enter into an Exchange not later than ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date.

12.24.3 If Seller or Purchaser exercises its right to exchange, rather than sell or purchase, as applicable, the Property, Seller may, on or before the Closing Date, assign its rights under this Agreement to a “qualified intermediary”, as defined in Treasury Regulation 1.103(k) I (g)(4) (the “Accommodator”) or an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”), or transfer the Property to the Accommodator or the EAT, subject to all of Purchaser’s rights and remedies under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Purchaser’s right to acquire the Property at the Closing or Purchaser may, on or before the Closing Date, assign its rights under this Agreement to an Accommodator or an EAT, or direct Seller to convey such Property to an Accommodator or an EAT at Closing, subject to Seller’s rights and remedies under this Agreement; provided, however, that Seller or Purchaser shall notify the other party of the identity of the Accommodator or EAT within five (5) days after designation of same, and further provided that the party designating an Accommodator or EAT (the “Designating Party”) shall remain liable for the performance of all obligations, representations, warranties and covenants of the Designating Party hereunder. In any case, all payments that Purchaser is obligated to make to Seller under this Agreement shall be made to the Accommodator or the EAT and not to Seller. Purchaser and Seller agree to cooperate with each other and the Accommodator or EAT in arranging the Exchange. The party which is not the Designating Party (the “Non-Designating Party”) shall execute any documents reasonably requested by the Designating Party and the Accommodator or EAT to facilitate the Exchange as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations effective thereunder at the time of Closing hereunder, including, but not limited to, any appropriate amendments to this Agreement and any appropriate escrow instructions; provided, however, that no such document shall adversely affect the Non-Designating Party in any respect or change any of the economic terms and conditions of the transaction with respect to the Non-Designating Party or modify or limit the Non-Designating Party’s rights and remedies under this Agreement. The Non-Designating Party shall not be obligated to incur any costs, expenses, losses, liabilities or damages greater than those the Non-Designating Party would have incurred had the Designating Party not elected to effect an exchange. The Designating Party shall reimburse the Non-Designating Party on demand for all costs and expenses incurred by the Non-Designating Party in excess of those that would have been incurred if the Designating Party had not elected to effect an Exchange.

12.24.4 In no event shall the Non-Designating Party be obligated to acquire title to any other property, in connection with such Exchange. Purchaser’s sole obligation in connection with any Exchange shall be to acquire the Property from Seller or its assignee in exchange for the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Designating Party agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold the Non-Designating Party free and harmless from all costs, expenses, losses, damages or liability, including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of suit, arising out of or in connection with any Exchange and the Non-Designating Party’s cooperation hereunder. Each party acknowledges that neither of them is making any representations, and neither of them is relying on any representations of the other party or the other party’s counsel, with respect to the federal, state or local income tax treatment of either of them in connection with this transaction, and neither party shall have any liability in connection with any tax treatment received by either of them in connection with this transaction, including, without limitation, any failure of this transaction to qualify as an exchange under Section 1031 of the Code.
