The Merger shall have the effects set forth in the applicable provisions of the MGCL, the MLLCA and this Agreement.

(i) Except as provided inSection 3.1(a)(ii) andSection 3.1(a)(iii) and subject toSection 3.1(b),Section 3.1(d) andSection 3.3, each share of SOR II Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time will be converted into

the right to receive from SOR for each share of SOR II Common Stock, the number of shares of SOR Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, subject to the treatment of fractional shares of SOR Common Stock in accordance withSection 3.1(d) (the “Merger Consideration”); from and after the Merger Effective Time, all such shares of SOR II Common Stock shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and shall cease to exist, and each holder of a share of SOR II Common Stock shall cease to have any rights with respect thereto, except for the right to receive the Merger Consideration therefor in accordance with this Agreement;

(ii) Each share of SOR II Common Stock, if any, then held by any Wholly Owned SOR II Subsidiary shall automatically be retired and shall cease to exist, and no Merger Consideration shall be paid, nor shall any other payment or right inure or be made with respect thereto in connection with or as a consequence of the Merger;

(iii) Each share of SOR II Common Stock, if any, then held by SOR or any Wholly Owned SOR Subsidiary shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be retired and shall cease to exist, and no Merger Consideration shall be paid, nor shall any other payment or right inure or be made with respect thereto in connection with or as a consequence of the Merger; and

(iv) Each membership interest of Merger Sub issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall remain the only issued and outstanding membership interests of the Surviving Entity and Merger Sub Manager shall remain the sole member of Merger Sub.

(b)Adjustment of the Merger Consideration. Between the date of this Agreement and the Merger Effective Time, if either of SOR or SOR II should split, combine or otherwise reclassify the SOR Common Stock or the SOR II Common Stock or make a dividend or other distribution in shares of the SOR Common Stock or the SOR II Common Stock (including any dividend or other distribution of securities convertible into SOR Common Stock or SOR II Common Stock) or engage in a reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or exchange or other like change, then (without limiting any other rights of the Parties hereunder), the Exchange Ratio shall be ratably adjusted to reflect fully the effect of any such change, and thereafter all references to the Exchange Ratio shall be deemed to be the Exchange Ratio as so adjusted.

(c)Transfer Books. From and after the Merger Effective Time, the share transfer books of SOR II shall be closed, and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of SOR II Common Stock. From and after the Merger Effective Time, Persons who held outstanding SOR II Common Stock immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time shall cease to have rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement or by applicable Law. On or after the Merger Effective Time, any Book-Entry Shares of SOR II Common Stock presented to the Exchange Agent, SOR, the Surviving Entity or the transfer agent shall be exchanged for the Merger Consideration with respect to SOR II Common Stock formerly represented thereby.

(d)Fractional Shares. No scrip representing fractional shares of SOR Common Stock shall be issued upon the surrender for exchange of Book-Entry Shares in excess of 1/1,000^th of a share and, in lieu of receiving any such excess fractional share of SOR Common Stock, the number of shares such holder shall be entitled to receive shall be rounded up to the nearest 1/1,000^th of a share.

Section 3.2Exchange Agent;Exchange Procedures; Distributions with Respect to Unexchanged Shares.

(a) Prior to the Merger Effective Time, SOR shall appoint DST Systems, Inc. as the exchange agent (or any successor exchange agent for SOR II, the “Exchange Agent”) to act as the agent for the purpose of paying the Merger Consideration for the Book-Entry Shares. At or promptly following the Merger Effective Time, SOR shall deposit with the Exchange Agent for the sole benefit of the holders of shares of SOR II Common Stock, for exchange in accordance with thisArticle 3, Book-Entry shares representing shares of SOR Common Stock to be issued pursuant toSection 3.1(a)(i) equal to the aggregate Merger Consideration (the “Exchange Fund”). In addition to the foregoing, after the Merger Effective Time on the appropriate payment date, if applicable, SOR shall provide or shall cause to be provided to the Exchange Agent any dividends or other distributions payable on such shares of SOR Common Stock, with both a record and payment date after the Merger Effective Time and prior to the surrender of the SOR II Common Stock in exchange for the Merger Consideration, pursuant toSection 3.2(d), such dividends or other distributions shall be deemed to be part of the Exchange Fund. SOR shall cause the Exchange Agent to make, and the Exchange Agent shall make delivery of, the Merger Consideration out of the Exchange Fund in accordance with this Agreement. The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Merger Effective Time (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter), SOR shall cause the Exchange Agent to mail (and to make available for collection by hand) to each holder of record of a Book-Entry Share representing shares of SOR II Common Stock (A) a letter of transmittal (a “Letter of Transmittal”) in customary form as prepared by SOR and reasonably acceptable to the SOR II Special Committee (which shall specify, among other things, that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Book-Entry Shares, as applicable, shall pass, only upon proper transfer of any Book-Entry Shares to the Exchange Agent) and (B) instructions for use in effecting the transfer of Book-Entry Shares in exchange for the Merger Consideration into which the number of shares of SOR II Common Stock previously represented by Book-Entry Share shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Upon (A) transfer of any Book-Entry Share representing shares of SOR II Common Stock to the Exchange Agent, together with a properly completed and validly executed Letter of Transmittal or (B) receipt of an “agent’s message” by the Exchange Agent (or such other evidence, if any, of transfer as the Exchange Agent may reasonably request) in the case of transfer of a Book-Entry Share, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Exchange Agent, the holder of such Book-Entry Share representing shares of SOR II Common Stock shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor (i) the Merger Consideration into which such shares of SOR II Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) certain dividends and distributions in accordance withSection 3.2(a) andSection 3.2(d), if any, after the Exchange Agent’s receipt of such Book-Entry Share or “agent’s message” or other evidence, and the Book-Entry Share so transferred shall be forthwith cancelled. The Exchange Agent shall

accept such Book-Entry Shares upon compliance with such reasonable terms and conditions as the Exchange Agent may impose to effect an orderly exchange thereof in accordance with customary exchange practices. Until surrendered or transferred as contemplated by thisSection 3.2, each Book-Entry Share representing shares of SOR II Common Stock shall be deemed, at any time after the Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Merger Consideration as contemplated by thisArticle 3. No interest shall be paid or accrued for the benefit of holders of the Book-Entry Shares on the Merger Consideration payable upon the surrender of the Book-Entry Shares.

(d) No dividends or other distributions declared or made after the Merger Effective Time with respect to SOR Common Stock with a record date after the Merger Effective Time shall be paid to any holder entitled by reason of the Merger to receive Book-Entry shares representing SOR Common Stock until such holder shall have transferred its Book-Entry Share pursuant to thisSection 3.2. Subject to applicable Law, following surrender of any such Book-Entry shares, such holder shall be paid, in each case, without interest, (i) the amount of any dividends or other distributions theretofore paid with respect to the shares of SOR Common Stock represented by the Book-Entry shares received by such holder and having a record date on or after the Merger Effective Time and a payment date prior to such surrender and (ii) at the appropriate payment date or as promptly as practicable thereafter, the amount of any dividends or other distributions payable with respect to such shares of SOR Common Stock and having a record date on or after the Merger Effective Time but prior to such surrender and a payment date on or after such surrender.

(e) In the event of a transfer of ownership of shares of SOR II Common Stock that is not registered in the transfer records of SOR II, it shall be a condition of payment that any Book-Entry Share transferred in accordance with the procedures set forth in thisSection 3.2 shall be properly endorsed or shall be otherwise in proper form for transfer, and that the Person requesting such payment shall have paid any Taxes required by reason of the payment of the Merger Consideration to a Person other than the registered holder of the Book-Entry Share transferred or shall have established to the reasonable satisfaction of SOR that such Tax either has been paid or is not applicable.

(f) Any portion of the Exchange Fund that remains undistributed to the holders of SOR II Common Stock for six (6) months after the Merger Effective Time shall be delivered to SOR upon demand, and any former holders of SOR II Common Stock prior to the Merger who have not theretofore complied with thisArticle 3 shall thereafter look only to SOR for payment of their claims with respect thereto.

(g) None of the SOR Parties, SOR II, the Surviving Entity, the Exchange Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent or Affiliate of such entities, shall be liable to any Person in respect of the Merger Consideration if the Exchange Fund (or the appropriate portion thereof) has been delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law. Any amounts remaining unclaimed by holders of any shares of SOR II Common Stock immediately prior to the time at which such amounts would otherwise escheat to, or become property of, any Governmental Authority shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of SOR free and clear of any claims or interest of such holders or their successors, assigns or personal representatives previously entitled thereto.

Section 3.3Withholding Rights. Each and any SOR Party, SOR II, the Surviving Entity, or the Exchange Agent, as applicable, shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from the Merger Consideration and any other amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any holder of SOR II Common Stock such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to such payments under the Code or any other provision of state, local or foreign Tax Law. Any such amounts so deducted and withheld shall be paid over to the applicable Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable Law and shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Section 3.4Dissenters’ Rights. No dissenters’ or appraisal rights shall be available with respect to the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 3.5General Effects of the Merger. At the Merger Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as set forth in this Agreement and the Articles of Merger and as provided in the applicable provisions of the MGCL and the MLLCA. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Merger Effective Time, all of the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of SOR II and Merger Sub shall vest in the Surviving Entity, and all debts, liabilities and duties of SOR II and Merger Sub shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Entity.

SOR II is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, operated or leased by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification, licensing or good standing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a SOR II Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Each SOR II Subsidiary is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of the jurisdiction of its incorporation or organization, as the case may be, and has the requisite organizational power and authority to own, lease and, to the extent applicable, operate its properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted. Each SOR II Subsidiary is duly qualified or licensed to do business, and is in good standing, in each jurisdiction where the character of the properties owned, operated or leased by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification, licensing or good standing necessary, except for such failures to be so qualified, licensed or in good standing that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a SOR II Material Adverse Effect.

(c)Section 4.1(c) of the SOR II Disclosure Letter sets forth a true and complete list of the SOR II Subsidiaries and their respective jurisdictions of incorporation or organization, as the case may be, the jurisdictions in which SOR II and the SOR II Subsidiaries are qualified or licensed to do business, and the percentage of interest held, directly or indirectly, by SOR II in each SOR II Subsidiary, including a list of each SOR II Subsidiary that is a “qualified REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(i)(2) of the Code (each a “Qualified REIT Subsidiary”) or a “taxable REIT subsidiary” within the meaning of Section 856(1) of the Code (each a “Taxable REIT Subsidiary”) and each SOR II Subsidiary that is an entity taxable as a corporation which is neither a Qualified REIT Subsidiary nor a Taxable REIT Subsidiary.

(d) Except as set forth onSection 4.1(d) of the SOR II Disclosure Letter, neither SOR II nor any SOR II Subsidiary directly or indirectly owns any equity interest or investment (whether equity or debt) in any Person (other than in the SOR II Subsidiaries and investments in short-term investment securities).

(e) SOR II has made available to SOR complete and correct copies of the SOR II Governing Documents. Each of SOR II and the SOR II Operating Partnership is in compliance with the terms of its SOR II Governing Documents in all material respects. True and complete copies of SOR II’s and the SOR II Operating Partnership’s minute books, as applicable, have been made available by SOR II to SOR.

(f) Except as set forth onSection 4.1(f) of the SOR II Disclosure Letter, SOR II has not exempted any “Person” from the “Aggregate Share Ownership Limit” or the “Common Share Ownership Limit” or established or increased an “Excepted Holder Limit,” as such terms are defined in the SOR II Charter, which exemption or Excepted Holder Limit is currently in effect.

Section 4.2Authority; Approval Required.

(a) SOR II has the requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to perform its obligations hereunder and, subject only to receipt of the Stockholder Approval, to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by SOR II and the consummation by SOR II of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of SOR II are necessary to authorize this Agreement or the Merger or to consummate the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, subject to receipt of the Stockholder Approval, the filing of Articles of Amendment relating to the SOR II Charter Amendment with, and acceptance for record of such Articles of Amendment by, the SDAT and the filing of the Articles of Merger with, and acceptance for record of the Articles of Merger by, the SDAT.

(b) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by SOR II, and assuming due authorization, execution and delivery by the SOR Parties, constitutes a legally valid and binding obligation of SOR II, enforceable against SOR II in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other similar Laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity (regardless of whether enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

(c) On the recommendation of the SOR II Special Committee, the SOR II Board (including a majority of directors and independent directors not otherwise interested in the Merger) has (i) determined that the terms of this Agreement, the Merger, the Termination Agreement, the SOR II Charter Amendment and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are advisable and in the best interest of SOR II and that this Agreement, the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fair and reasonable to SOR II and on terms and conditions no less favorable to SOR II than those available from unaffiliated third parties, and (ii) approved and authorized this Agreement, the Merger, the Termination Agreement and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) directed that the Merger and the SOR II Charter Amendment be submitted to a vote of the holders of SOR II Common Stock and (iv) except as may be permitted pursuant toSection 7.3, resolved to include in the Proxy Statement the SOR II Board recommendation to holders of SOR II Common Stock to vote in favor of approval of the Merger and the SOR II Charter Amendment (such recommendation, the “SOR II Board Recommendation”), which resolutions remain in full force and effect and have not been subsequently rescinded, modified or withdrawn in any way, except as may be permitted after the date hereof bySection 7.3.

(d) The Stockholder Approval is the only vote of the holders of securities of SOR II or the SOR II Operating Partnership required to approve the Merger, the SOR II Charter Amendment and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.3No Conflict; Required Filings and Consents.

(a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by SOR II do not, and the performance of this Agreement and its obligations hereunder will not, (i) assuming receipt of the Stockholder Approval, conflict with or violate any provision of (A) the SOR II Governing Documents or (B) any equivalent organizational or governing documents of any SOR II Subsidiary, (ii) conflict with or violate any Law applicable to SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary or by which any property or asset of SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary is bound, or (iii) except as contemplated bySection 4.3(b), require any consent or approval under, result in any breach of any obligation or any loss of any benefit or material increase in any cost or obligation of SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary under, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to any other Person any right of termination, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice or the lapse of time or both) of, or give rise to any right of purchase, first offer or forced sale under or result in the creation of a Lien on any property or asset of SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary pursuant to, any Contract or Permit to which SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary is a party, except, as to clauses (ii) and (iii) above, for any such conflicts, violations, breaches, defaults or other occurrences which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected to have a SOR II Material Adverse Effect.

(b) Except as set forth inSection 4.3(b) of the SOR II Disclosure Letter, no consents or approvals of, or filings or registrations with, any Governmental Authority or with any third party are required to be made or obtained by SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by SOR II of this Agreement. As of the date hereof, to the Knowledge of SOR II, SOR II is not aware of any reason why the necessary approvals referenced in the preceding sentence will not be received in order to permit consummation of the Merger on a timely basis.

No event has occurred, and to the Knowledge of SOR II no condition or circumstances exists, which presents a material risk that any material liability for Taxes described clause (iii) of the preceding sentence or any liability for Taxes described in either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence will be imposed upon SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary.

(g) SOR II and the SOR II Subsidiaries have complied, in all material respects, with all applicable Laws relating to the payment and withholding of Taxes (including, without limitation, withholding of Taxes pursuant to Sections 1441, 1442, 1445, 1446, 1471 and 3402 of the Code or similar provisions under any state, local and foreign Laws) and have duly and timely withheld and, in each case, have paid over to the appropriate taxing authorities all material amounts required to be so withheld and paid over on or prior to the due date thereof under all applicable Laws.

(b) Beginning with its initial taxable year ending on December 31, 2014, and through and including the Closing Date (determined as if SOR’s current taxable year ended immediately prior to Closing), SOR (i) has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements to qualify as a REIT under the Code and the current and proposed method of operation for SOR is expected to enable SOR to continue to meet the requirements for qualification as a REIT through and including the Closing Date, and (ii) has not taken or omitted to take any action which would reasonably be expected to result in SOR’s failure to qualify as a REIT, and no challenge to SOR’s status as a REIT is pending or threatened in writing.

(d) Each SOR Subsidiary that is a partnership, joint venture or limited liability company and that has not elected to be a Taxable REIT Subsidiary has been since its formation treated for United States federal income tax purposes as a partnership, disregarded entity, or Qualified REIT Subsidiary, as the case may be, and not as a corporation, an association taxable as a corporation whose separate existence is respected for United States federal income tax purposes, or a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Section 7704(a) of the Code.

(e) Neither SOR nor any SOR Subsidiary holds any asset the disposition of which would be subject to Treasury RegulationSection 1.337(d)-7, nor have they disposed of any such asset during its current taxable year.

SOR Subsidiaries have, incurred any material liability for Tax other than (A) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, or (B) transfer or similar Taxes arising in connection with sales of property. No event has occurred, and to the Knowledge of SOR no condition or circumstances exists, which presents a material risk that any material liability for Taxes described clause (iii) of the preceding sentence or any liability for Taxes described in either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence will be imposed upon SOR or any SOR Subsidiary.

Section 7.2Access to Information; Confidentiality.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to and including the Merger Effective Time, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to, afford to the other Parties and to their respective Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice to all of their respective properties, offices, books, Contracts, personnel and records that the other Party may reasonably request and, during such period, each of the Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective subsidiaries to and shall use their reasonable best efforts to cause its Representatives to, furnish reasonably promptly to the other Parties (i) any information concerning such Party or its respective subsidiaries (including with respect to any pending or threatened Action) as the other Party may reasonably request and (ii) a copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and other document filed by it during such period pursuant to the requirements of federal or state securities Laws.

No investigation under thisSection 7.2(a) or otherwise shall affect any of the representations and warranties of the Parties contained in this Agreement or any condition to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the Parties shall be required by thisSection 7.2(a) to provide the other Parties or their respective Representatives with access to or to disclose information (A) that is subject to the terms of a confidentiality agreement with a third party entered into prior to the date of this Agreement or entered into after the date of this Agreement in the ordinary course of business in accordance with this Agreement (provided,however, that the withholding Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to obtain the required consent of such third party to such access or disclosure), (B) the disclosure of which would violate any Law applicable to such Party or any of its Representatives (provided,however, that the withholding Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute arrangements to permit reasonable disclosure not in violation of any Law or duty), (C) that is subject to any attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege (provided,however, that the withholding Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to allow for such access or disclosure to the maximum extent that does not result in a loss of any such attorney-client, attorney work product or other legal privilege, including by means of entry into a customary joint defense agreement that would alleviate the loss of such privilege) or (D) for the purpose of allowing Parties or their respective Representatives to collect samples of soil, air, water, groundwater or building materials. The Parties will use their reasonable best efforts to minimize any disruption to the businesses of the other Parties and any of their respective subsidiaries that may result from the requests for access, data and information hereunder. Prior to the Merger Effective Time, the Parties shall not, and shall cause their respective Representatives and Affiliates not to, contact or otherwise communicate with parties with which any of the other Parties or any other of their respective subsidiaries has a business relationship regarding the business of the other Parties and their respective subsidiaries or this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of such other Party (provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in thisSection 7.2(a) shall be deemed to restrict the Parties from contacting such parties in pursuing the business of the Parties operating in the ordinary course).

(b) Each Party will hold, and will cause its respective Representatives and Affiliates to hold, any nonpublic information, including any information exchanged pursuant to thisSection 7.2, in confidence to the extent required by and in accordance with, and will otherwise comply with, the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect pursuant to the terms thereof notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the termination thereof.

Section 7.3No Solicitation of Transactions.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement but subject toSection 7.3(e) andSection 7.3(f), during the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and continuing until 11:59 p.m. on April 4, 2020 (the “Go Shop Period End Time”), SOR II, the SOR II Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may and shall have the right to, directly or indirectly: (i) initiate, solicit, encourage or facilitate any inquiries or the making of any proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, including by way of (A) contacting third parties, (B) broadly disseminating public disclosure, or (C) providing access to the properties, offices, assets, books, records and personnel of SOR II and the SOR II Subsidiaries and furnishingnon-public information pursuant

to (but only pursuant to) one or more Acceptable Confidentiality Agreements;provided,however, that SOR II shall prior to, or concurrently with the time such access ornon-public information is provided, provide such access and make available suchnon-public information to SOR; (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person relating to, or in furtherance of such inquiries, proposals, offers or other actions or to obtain, an Acquisition Proposal; (iii) release any Person from, or refrain from enforcing, any standstill agreement or similar obligation to SOR II or any of the SOR II Subsidiaries; and (iv) disclose to the stockholders of SOR II any information required to be disclosed under applicable Law;provided,however, that in the case of this clause (iv), to the extent any such disclosure addresses the Merger or an Acquisition Proposal, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if such disclosure has the effect of withdrawing or adversely modifying, or is not accompanied by an express publicre-affirmation of, the SOR II Board Recommendation. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Go Shop Bidder” shall mean any Person (including its controlled Affiliates and Representatives) that submits a written proposal or offer regarding an Acquisition Proposal prior to the Go Shop Period End Time that has not been withdrawn and that the SOR II Special Committee determines, in good faith, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, prior to the Go Shop Period End Time (or in the case of any Acquisition Proposal received less than five (5) Business Days before the date of the Go Shop Period End Time, not later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal), has resulted in, or would be reasonably likely to result in, a Superior Proposal (as defined below) (such Person, a “Go Shop Bidder”);provided, that a Go Shop Bidder shall cease to be a Go Shop Bidder if (1) the negotiations between SOR II and such Go Shop Bidder with respect to the Acquisition Proposal that resulted in such Go Shop Bidder becoming a Go Shop Bidder shall have been terminated, (2) the Acquisition Proposal submitted by such Go Shop Bidder prior to the Go Shop Period End Time is withdrawn, terminated or modified in a manner such that, in the SOR II Special Committee’s good faith determination, after consultation with its financial advisors and outside legal counsel, the Acquisition Proposal as modified no longer constitutes, or would no longer reasonably be likely to lead to, a Superior Proposal, or (3) such Go Shop Bidder otherwise ceases to be actively pursuing efforts to acquire SOR II or the SOR II Operating Partnership. No later than forty-eight (48) hours after the Go Shop Period End Time (or after a bidder is determined to be a Go Shop Bidder if such determination occurs after the Go Shop Period End Time), SOR II shall notify SOR in writing (I) if any Go Shop Bidders remain at such time, (II) of the identity of such Go Shop Bidder(s) and (III) the material terms and conditions of the most recent Acquisition Proposal received from such Go Shop Bidder(s) (and shall include with such notice (x) copies of any written Acquisition Proposal, including any proposed transaction agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any and (y) a written summary of the material terms of any related Acquisition Proposal not made in writing (including any material terms proposed orally or supplementally)), and thereafter shall promptly (and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours after the occurrence of such developments, discussions or negotiations or receipt of materials) (1) keep SOR reasonably informed of all material developments, discussions and negotiations concerning any such Acquisition Proposal and (2) provide SOR with any written supplements or written additions to any written Acquisition Proposal, including any revisions to any proposed transaction agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any. Without limiting the foregoing, from and after the Go Shop Period End Time, SOR II will promptly (and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours after receipt thereof) notify SOR in writing if (A) any Acquisition Proposal is received by SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary, (B) any request

for information relating to SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary is received by SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary from any Person who informs SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary that it is considering making or has made an Acquisition Proposal or (C) any discussions or negotiations are sought to be initiated with SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary regarding any Acquisition Proposal, in each case from a Person that is not a Go Shop Bidder, and shall, in any such notice to SOR, indicate the identity of the Person making, and the material terms and conditions of, such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry (and shall include with such notice (x) copies of any written Acquisition Proposal, including any proposed transaction agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any, and (y) a written summary of the material terms of any related Acquisition Proposal not made in writing (including any material terms proposed orally or supplementally), and thereafter shall promptly (and in any event no later than forty-eight (48) hours after the occurrence of such developments, discussions or negotiations or receipt of materials) (1) keep SOR reasonably informed of all material developments, discussions and negotiations concerning any such Acquisition Proposal, request or inquiry and (2) provide SOR with any written supplements or written additions to any written Acquisition Proposal, including any revisions to any proposed transaction agreement and any related transaction documents and financing commitments, if any. Neither SOR II nor any SOR II Subsidiary will enter into any agreement with any Person subsequent to the date of this Agreement that prohibits SOR II from providing any information to SOR in accordance with thisSection 7.3.

(b) Except as permitted by thisSection 7.3, and except with respect to a Go Shop Bidder, from and after theGo-Shop Period End Time, SOR II shall not, and shall cause each of the SOR Subsidiaries and its and their respective directors, officers and Affiliates, and shall direct each of its and the SOR II Subsidiaries’ other Representatives (to the extent acting on behalf of SOR II) not to, directly or indirectly, (i) initiate, solicit, knowingly encourage or facilitate any inquiries, proposals or offers for, or engage in any negotiations concerning, or provide any confidential or nonpublic information or data to, or have any discussions with, any Person relating to any inquiry, proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or may reasonably be expected to lead to, any Acquisition Proposal, (ii) enter into or engage in, continue or otherwise participate in any discussions or negotiations with any Person regarding or otherwise in furtherance of, or furnish to any Person other than a SOR Party or its Representatives, any information in connection with or for the purpose of encouraging or facilitating any inquiry, proposal, offer or other action that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, or to otherwise obtain an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) release any Person from or fail to enforce any confidentiality agreement, standstill agreement or similar obligation (provided that SOR II shall be permitted to waive or to not enforce any provision of any confidentiality agreement, standstill agreement or similar obligation to permit a Person to make a confidential Acquisition Proposal directly to the SOR II Special Committee if the SOR II Special Committee determines in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that any such failure to waive or to not enforce would be inconsistent with or otherwise result in a breach of the SOR II directors’ duties under applicable Law), (iv) enter into any agreement in principle, arrangement, understanding, contract or agreement (whether binding or not) contemplating or otherwise relating to an Acquisition Proposal, or (v) take any action to exempt any Person from any Takeover Statute or similar restrictive provision of the SOR II Organizational Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing and except with respect to a Go Shop Bidder and as otherwise permitted by thisSection 7.3, SOR II shall, and shall cause each SOR II Subsidiary and each Representative of SOR II and the SOR II Subsidiaries to, immediately cease any discussions, negotiations or communications with any Person with respect to any Acquisition

Proposal or potential Acquisition Proposal and shall immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access previously granted to any such Person and exercise and use reasonable best efforts to enforce any contractual rights available to SOR II to cause such Person to return and/or destroy allnon-public information concerning SOR II and the SOR II Subsidiaries to the extent permitted pursuant to any confidentiality agreement with such Person and immediately terminate all physical and electronic data room access granted to such Person. For the avoidance of doubt, after the Go Shop Period End Time and until the receipt of Stockholder Approval, SOR II, the SOR II Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives may continue to take any of the actions described inSection 7.3(a) with respect to any proposals or offers regarding any Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Go Shop Bidder on or before the Go Shop Period End Time or with respect to any amended or modified proposal or offer with respect to any such Acquisition Proposal submitted by a Go Shop Bidder after the Go Shop Period End Time that SOR II discloses to SOR (and provides copies to SOR of) if the SOR II Special Committee has determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal (as may be amended or modified) is or is reasonably likely to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the Go Shop Period End Time and prior to the time, but not after, Stockholder Approval is obtained, SOR II and its Representatives may (i) provide information in response to a request therefor by a person or persons who has made a written Acquisition Proposal that did not result from a breach of thisSection 7.3 (provided that SOR II (A) receives from the person or persons so requesting such information an executed Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, and (B) as contemplated herein, SOR II discloses to SOR (and provides copies to SOR of) such written Acquisition Proposal and concurrently furnishes, makes available or provides access to any nonpublic information provided to such person or persons to the extent not previously so provided to SOR), and (ii) engage or participate in any discussions or negotiations with any person who has made such a written Acquisition Proposal, if and only to the extent that, in each such case referred to in clause (i) or (ii) above, the SOR II Special Committee has either determined that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal or determined in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors that such Acquisition Proposal could reasonably be likely to lead to a Superior Proposal.

(d) Except as expressly provided inSection 7.3(e) andSection 7.3(f), neither the SOR II Board, nor any committee thereof, nor any group of directors, formally or informally, shall: (i) change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify or publicly propose or announce or authorize or resolve to, or announce its intention to change, withhold, withdraw, qualify or modify, in each case in a manner adverse to SOR, the SOR II Board Recommendation, (ii) authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable, adopt or recommend or propose to publicly authorize, approve, endorse, declare advisable, adopt or recommend, any Acquisition Proposal, (iii) authorize, cause or permit SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary to enter into any Alternative Acquisition Agreement, (iv) fail to recommend against acceptance of a tender offer or exchange offer for any shares of SOR II Common Stock that constitutes an Acquisition Proposal (other than by SOR or any of its Affiliates) or fail to reaffirm publicly the SOR II Board Recommendation within ten (10) Business Days of such tender offer or exchange offer, or (v) fail to make the SOR II Board Recommendation or fail to include the SOR II Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (any event described in clause (i)-(v), whether taken by the SOR II Board or a committee thereof, an “Adverse Recommendation Change”).

(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time after the date of this Agreement and before Stockholder Approval is obtained and subject to compliance with the provisions of thisSection 7.3(e) in all material respects, if SOR II receives an Acquisition Proposal (whether or not from a Go Shop Bidder) that did not result from a breach of thisSection 7.3 (and such proposal is not withdrawn) and the SOR II Special Committee determines that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that failure to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with such Superior Proposal or that failure to terminate this Agreement to enter into an Alternative Acquisition Agreement for such Superior Proposal would be inconsistent with the SOR II directors’ duties under applicable Law, then the SOR II Board (based on the recommendation of the SOR II Special Committee) may effect an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement in accordance withSection 9.1(c)(ii) (Superior Proposal);provided that the SOR II Board may not take action contemplated by thisSection 7.3(e) unless:

(i) SOR II has notified SOR in writing that the SOR II Board intends to take such action at least five (5) Business Days in advance of effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change, which notice shall specify in reasonable detail the reasons for such action, a description of the material terms of the Superior Proposal and attach the most current version of such agreements (including any amendments, supplements or modifications) between SOR II and the party making such Superior Proposal to such notice (a “SOR II Change Notice”); and

(ii) during the five (5) Business Day period following SOR’s receipt of a SOR II Change Notice, SOR II shall have offered to negotiate with and, if accepted, negotiated with (and directed its outside financial and outside legal advisors to negotiate with) SOR in good faith to make such adjustments to the terms and conditions of this Agreement such that the Superior Proposal ceases to constitute (in the good faith determination of the SOR II Special Committee, after consultation with outside legal counsel and outside financial advisors) a Superior Proposal;provided, that any amendment, supplement or modification to any Acquisition Proposal shall be deemed a new Acquisition Proposal and SOR II may not enter into any agreement relating to such Superior Proposal pursuant thisSection 7.3(e) or make an Adverse Recommendation Change pursuant to thisSection 7.3(e) or terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.1(c)(ii)(Superior Proposal) unless SOR II has complied with the requirements of thisSection 7.3(e) with respect to such new Acquisition Proposal including sending an additional SOR II Change Notice (except that the new negotiation period under thisSection 7.3(e)(ii) shall be three (3) Business Days instead of five (5) Business Days). Notwithstanding anything in thisSection 7.3(e)(ii), neither SOR’s acceptance nor rejection of SOR II’s offer to negotiate pursuant to thisSection 7.3(e)(ii) shall have any bearing on SOR’s right to terminate this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.1(d)(ii) (Adverse Recommendation Change/Violation ofNon-Solicitation Provisions) herein.

(f) Nothing in thisSection 7.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prevent the SOR II Board or SOR II, directly or indirectly, from (i) taking and disclosing to the stockholders of SOR II a position contemplated by Rule14d-9 or Rule14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, making any required disclosure to the stockholders of SOR II under applicable Law, including Rule14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or Item 1012(a) of RegulationM-A or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of SOR II if the SOR II Board determines in good faith after consultation with its outside legal counsel (and based on the recommendation of the SOR II Special Committee) that the failure to do so would be inconsistent with the duties of the SOR II directors to SOR II under applicable Law;provided,however, that to the extent any such disclosure addresses the approval, recommendation or declaration of advisability by the SOR II Board with respect to this Agreement or an Acquisition Proposal, such disclosure shall be deemed to be an Adverse Recommendation Change if not accompanied by an express publicre-affirmation of the SOR II Board Recommendation.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, SOR II shall not, and shall not permit any SOR II Subsidiaries or any of its or their respective Affiliates or Representatives to, reimburse or agree to reimburse the fees or expenses of any Person (including any Go Shop Bidder or its Representatives) in connection with (or related to) an Acquisition Proposal (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement, but excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with any acquisition agreement with respect to a Superior Proposal entered into pursuant to thisSection 7.3 and resulting in termination of this Agreement pursuant toSection 9.1(c)).

(h) SOR II agrees that in the event any Representative of SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary takes any action that, if taken by SOR II would constitute a material violation of thisSection 7.3, then SOR II shall be deemed to be in violation of thisSection 7.3 for all purposes of this Agreement.

(i) For purposes of this Agreement:

(i) “Acquisition Proposal” means any bona fide proposal or offer from any Person (other than SOR or any SOR Subsidiaries), whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions, relating to any (a) merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or similar transaction involving SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiary that would constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as defined in Rule1-02 of RegulationS-X), (b) sale or other disposition, by merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any similar transaction, of any assets of SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiaries representing 20% or more of the consolidated assets of SOR II and the SOR II Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (c) issue, sale or other disposition by SOR II or any SOR II Subsidiaries of (including by way of merger, consolidation, share exchange, business combination or any similar transaction) securities (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into, such securities) representing 20% or more of the votes associated with the outstanding shares of SOR II Common Stock, (d) tender offer or exchange offer in which any Person or “group” (as such term is defined under the Exchange Act) shall acquire beneficial ownership (as such term is defined in Rule13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or the right to acquire beneficial ownership, of 20% or more of the votes associated with the outstanding shares of SOR II Common Stock, (e) recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other similar type of transaction with respect to SOR II in which

a third party shall acquire beneficial ownership of 20% or more of the outstanding shares of SOR II Common Stock, or (f) transaction that is similar in form, substance or purpose to any of the foregoing transactions;provided,however, that the term “Acquisition Proposal” shall not include (i) the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) any merger, consolidation, business combination, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction solely among SOR II and one or more of the SOR II Subsidiaries or solely among the SOR II Subsidiaries.

(ii) “Superior Proposal” means a written Acquisition Proposal (except for purposes of this definition, the references in the definition of “Acquisition Proposal” to “20%” shall be replaced with “50%”) which the SOR II Board (based on the recommendation of the SOR II Special Committee) determines in its good faith judgment (after consultation with its outside legal and financial advisors and after taking into account (a) all of the terms and conditions of the Acquisition Proposal and this Agreement (as it may be proposed to be amended by SOR) and (b) the feasibility and certainty of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal on the terms proposed (taking into account all legal, financial, regulatory and other aspects of such Acquisition Proposal and conditions to consummation thereof) to be more favorable from a financial point of view to the stockholders of SOR II (in their capacities as stockholders) than the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement (as it may be proposed to be amended by SOR)).

Section 7.4Public Announcements. Except with respect to any Adverse Recommendation Change or any action taken pursuant to, and in accordance with,Section 7.1 orSection 7.3, so long as this Agreement is in effect, the Parties shall consult with each other before issuing any press release or otherwise making any public statements or filings with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and none of the Parties shall issue any such press release or make any such public statement or filing prior to obtaining the other Parties’ consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned);provided, that a Party may, without obtaining the other Parties’ consent, issue such press release or make such public statement or filing as may be required by Law or Order if it is not possible to consult with the other Party before making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) In connection with and without limiting the foregoingSection 7.5(a), each of the Parties shall give (or shall cause their respective Affiliates to give) any notices to third parties, and each of the Parties shall use, and cause each of their respective Affiliates to use, its reasonable best efforts to obtain any third-party consents that are necessary, proper or advisable to consummate the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each of the Parties will, and shall cause their respective Affiliates to, furnish to the other such necessary information and reasonable assistance as the other may request in connection with the preparation of any required applications, notices, registrations and requests as may be required or advisable to be filed with any Governmental Authority and will cooperate in responding to any inquiry from a Governmental Authority, including promptly informing the other Party of such inquiry, consulting in advance before making any presentations or submissions to a Governmental Authority, and supplying each other with copies of all material correspondence, filings or communications between either Party and any Governmental Authority with respect to this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in connection with obtaining any approval or consent from any Person (other than any Governmental Authority) with respect to the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, none of the Parties or any of their respective Representatives shall be obligated to pay or commit to pay to such Person whose approval or consent is being solicited any cash or other consideration, make any accommodation or commitment or incur any liability or other obligation to such Person other than commercially reasonable processing and consent fees in connection with obtaining the consent or approval of any lender with respect to any Indebtedness set forth atSection 4.3(b) of the SOR II Disclosure Letter andSection 5.3(b) of the SOR Disclosure Letter. Subject to the immediately foregoing sentence, the Parties shall cooperate with respect to reasonable accommodations that may be requested or appropriate to obtain such consents.

(a) The SOR Parties and their Representatives shall give prompt notice to SOR II, and SOR II and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to the SOR Parties, of any notice or other communication received by such Party from any Governmental Authority in connection with this Agreement, the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or from any Person alleging that the consent of such Person is or may be required in connection with the Merger or the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) The SOR Parties and their Representatives shall give prompt notice to SOR II, and SOR II and its Representatives shall give prompt notice to the SOR Parties, if (i) any representation or warranty made by it contained in this Agreement becomes untrue or inaccurate such that it would be reasonable to expect that the applicable closing conditions would be incapable of being satisfied by the Outside Date or (ii) it fails to comply with or satisfy in any material respect any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it under this Agreement;provided, that no such notification shall affect the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of the Parties or the conditions to the obligations of the Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure by the SOR Parties or its Representatives or SOR II or its Representatives to provide such prompt notice under thisSection 7.6(b) shall not constitute a breach of covenant for purposes ofSection 8.2(b),Section 8.3(b),Section 9.1(c)(i) (SOR Terminating Breach),orSection 9.1(d)(i) (SOR II Terminating Breach).

Section 7.7Indemnification; Directors’ and Officers’ Insurance.

(a) Without limiting or being limited by the provisions ofSection 7.7(b) and to the extent permitted by applicable Law and the SOR Governing Documents as currently in effect, during the period commencing as of the Merger Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Merger Effective Time, SOR shall (and shall cause the Surviving Entity to): (i) indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Indemnified Party against and from any costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, losses, claims, damages, liabilities and amounts paid in settlement in connection with any Action to the extent such Action arises out of or pertains to (x) any action or omission or alleged action or omission in such Indemnified Party’s capacity as a manager, director, officer, partner, member, trustee, employee or agent of SOR II or any of the SOR II Subsidiaries, or (y) this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the Merger; and (ii) pay in advance of the final disposition of any such Action the expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and any expenses incurred by any Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to indemnification) of any Indemnified Party without the requirement of any bond or other security, in each case to the fullest extent permitted by Law, but subject to SOR’s or the Surviving Entity’s receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, SOR or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, (i) shall not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment or otherwise seek termination with respect to any claim, action, suit or proceeding against or investigation of any Indemnified Party for which indemnification may be sought under thisSection 7.7(a) without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit, proceeding or investigation, (ii) shall not be liable for any settlement effected without its prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and (iii) shall not have any obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Party to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction shall determine in a final andnon-appealable order that such indemnification is prohibited by applicable Law, in which case the Indemnified Party shall promptly refund to SOR or the Surviving Entity the amount of all such expenses theretofore advanced pursuant hereto.

(b) Without limiting the foregoing, and to the extent permitted by applicable Law, each of SOR and the Surviving Entity agree that, during the period commencing as of the Merger Effective Time and ending on the sixth (6^th) anniversary of the Merger Effective Time, all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Merger Effective Time, and advancement of expenses, now existing in favor of the current or former managers, directors, officers, partners, members, trustees, employees, agents, fiduciaries or other individuals of SOR II or any of the SOR II Subsidiaries (each an “Indemnified Party” and

collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) as provided in (i) the SOR II Charter, the SOR II Bylaws or, if applicable, similar organizational documents or agreements of any SOR II Subsidiary (the “SOR II Organizational Documents”) and (ii) indemnification agreements of SOR II shall survive the Merger and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For a period of six (6) years following the Merger Effective Time, the organizational documents of SOR and Surviving Entity and the organizational documents of any applicable SOR Subsidiary or SOR II Subsidiary shall contain provisions no less favorable with respect to indemnification and limitations on liability of directors and officers than are set forth in the SOR II Governing Documents or, if applicable, similar organizational documents or agreements of any SOR II Subsidiary. The SOR Governing Documents provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six (6) years following the Merger Effective Time in any manner that would affect adversely the rights thereunder of individuals who, at or prior to the Merger Effective Time, were Indemnified Parties, unless such modification shall be required by applicable Law and then only to the minimum extent required by applicable Law.

(c) To the extent that any Indemnified Party shall reasonably believe that representation by counsel designated by SOR or the Surviving Entity in connection with any action, suit, proceeding, investigation or inquiry results in a conflict of interest, such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ such person’s own separate counsel, at SOR’s or the Surviving Entity’s expense;provided,however, that such separate counsel shall, to the extent consistent with its professional responsibilities, cooperate with SOR or the Surviving Entity and any counsel designated by SOR or the Surviving Entity.

(d) SOR II shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain extended reporting period coverage under SOR II’s directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policies or the substantial equivalent of such coverage (to be effective as of the Merger Effective Time) with a policy period of six (6) years after the Merger Effective Time, on prepaid andnon-cancellable terms, for a cost not in excess of three (3) times the current annual premiums for such insurance, with at least a short rate cancellation credit for remaining time on the current program. SOR and the Surviving Entity shall not take any action to terminate or modify the terms of any such extended reporting period coverage. If SOR II is unable to obtain such extended reporting period coverage using such commercially reasonable efforts, then SOR may, at SOR’s option, (i) authorize a higher premium for SOR II to obtain such coverage; or (ii) authorize a scope of coverage that provides coverage that is the substantial equivalent of or superior to the current coverage available for the Indemnified Parties. If SOR authorizes either of (i) or (ii), then SOR II shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the coverage set forth in the first sentence of thisSection 7.7(d) within such parameters. In any case, if SOR II is unable to obtain such extended coverage on the terms set forth above, then SOR or the Surviving Entity shall continue to maintain in effect, for a period of six (6) years from and after the Merger Effective Time, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance with benefits and levels of coverage at least as favorable as SOR II’s existing directors’ and officers’ insurance policies and with insurance companies with the same or better credit ratings;provided,however, that, in no event, shall SOR or the Surviving Entity be required to pay annual premiums for such insurance in excess of three (3) times the most recent annual premiums paid by SOR II for such insurance; it being understood that, if the annual premiums of such insurance coverage exceed such amount, then SOR or the Surviving Entity shall nevertheless be obligated to obtain a policy with the greatest coverage available for an annual cost not exceeding three (3) times of the most recent annual premiums paid by SOR II.

(e) If SOR or the Surviving Entity or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other Person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) liquidates, dissolves orwinds-up, or transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of SOR or the Surviving Entity, as applicable, assume the obligations set forth in thisSection 7.7.

(f) SOR shall cause the Surviving Entity to pay all reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any Indemnified Party in enforcing the obligations provided in thisSection 7.7.

(g) The provisions of thisSection 7.7 are intended to be for the express benefit of, and shall be enforceable by, each Indemnified Party (who are intended third-party beneficiaries of thisSection 7.7), his or her heirs and his or her personal representatives, shall be binding on all successors and assigns of SOR, SOR II and the Surviving Entity and shall not be amended in a manner that is adverse to the Indemnified Party (including his or her successors, assigns and heirs) without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (including such successors, assigns and heirs) affected thereby. The exculpation and indemnification provided for by thisSection 7.7 shall not be deemed to be exclusive of any other rights to which an Indemnified Party is entitled, whether pursuant to applicable Law, Contract or otherwise.

Section 7.8Dividends.

(a) In the event that a distribution with respect to the shares of SOR II Common Stock permitted under the terms of this Agreement has a record date prior to the Merger Effective Time and has not been paid prior to the Closing Date, such distribution shall be paid to the holders of such shares of SOR II Common Stock on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time. In the event that a distribution with respect to the shares of SOR Common Stock permitted under the terms of this Agreement has a record date prior to the Merger Effective Time and has not been paid prior to the Closing Date, such distribution shall be paid to the holders of such shares of SOR Common Stock on the Closing Date immediately prior to the Merger Effective Time. SOR II shall coordinate with SOR on the declaration, setting of record dates and payment dates of dividends on SOR II Common Stock so that holders of SOR II Common Stock (i) do not receive dividends on both SOR II Common Stock and SOR Common Stock received in the Merger in respect of a single distribution period or fail to receive a dividend on either SOR II Common Stock or SOR Common Stock received in the Merger in respect of a single distribution period or (ii) do not receive both a dividend permitted by the second proviso toSection 6.2(b)(iii) on SOR Common Stock and a dividend permitted by the second proviso toSection 6.1(b)(iii) on SOR II Common Stock received in the Merger or fail to receive either a dividend permitted by the second proviso toSection 6.2(b)(iii) on SOR Common Stock or a dividend permitted by the second proviso toSection 6.1(b)(iii) on SOR II Common Stock received in the Merger.

(b) In the event that either SOR II or SOR shall declare or pay any dividend or other distribution that is expressly permitted pursuant to the second proviso at the end ofSection 6.1(b)(iii) orSection 6.2(b)(iii), respectively, it shall notify the other Party at least twenty (20) days prior to the Closing Date, and such other Party shall be entitled to declare a dividend per share

payable (i) in the case of SOR II, to holders of SOR II Common Stock, in an amount per share of SOR II Common Stock equal to the product of (A) the dividend declared by SOR with respect to each share of SOR Common Stock by (B) the Exchange Ratio, and (ii) in the case of SOR, to holders of SOR Common Stock, in an amount per share of SOR Common Stock equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the dividend declared by SOR II with respect to each share of SOR II Common Stock by (y) the Exchange Ratio. The record date and time and payment date and time for any dividend payable pursuant to thisSection 7.8(b) shall be prior to the Closing Date. In the event that SOR II does not have, and cannot obtain, funds sufficient to pay any such dividend in cash, SOR II may pay such dividend in shares of SOR II Common Stock having equivalent value.

Section 7.9Takeover Statutes. The Parties shall use their respective reasonable best efforts (a) to take all action necessary so that no Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to the Merger or any of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement and (b) if any such Takeover Statute is or becomes applicable to any of the foregoing, to take all action necessary so that the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be consummated as promptly as practicable on the terms contemplated by this Agreement and otherwise to eliminate or minimize the effect of such Takeover Statute or the restrictions in the SOR Charter or the SOR II Charter on the Merger and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 7.10Obligations of SOR with respect to the Merger Sub. SOR shall take all actions necessary to (a) cause the Meger Sub to perform its obligations under this Agreement and to consummate the Merger on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, and (b) ensure that, prior to the Merger Effective Time, Merger Sub shall not conduct any business or make any investments or incur or guarantee any Indebtedness other than as specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

(ii) by SOR II pursuant toSection 9.1(c)(ii)(Superior Proposal), then SOR II shall pay to SOR an amount equal to (A) the Full Termination Payment or (B) the Go Shop Termination Payment if all of the following conditions are met: (I) delivery of the SOR II Change Notice occurs before the Go Shop Period End Time (or in the case of any Acquisition Proposal received less than five (5) Business Days before the Go Shop Period End Time, not later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal) and (II) the termination occurs no later than one (1) Business Day after the negotiation period contemplated bySection 7.3(e)(ii);

(iii) by SOR pursuant toSection 9.1(d)(ii)(A)(Adverse Recommendation Change), then SOR II shall pay to SOR an amount equal to (A) the Full Termination Payment or (B) the Go Shop Termination Payment if all of the following conditions are met: (I) delivery of the SOR II Change Notice occurs before the Go Shop Period End Time (or in the case of any Acquisition Proposal received less than five (5) Business Days before the Go Shop Period End Time, not later than five (5) Business Days after the receipt of such Acquisition Proposal) and (II) the Adverse Recommendation Change occurs no later than one (1) Business Day after the negotiation period contemplated bySection 7.3(e)(ii);

(iv) by SOR pursuant toSection 9.1(d)(ii)(B) (Violation ofNon-Solicitation Provisions), then SOR II shall pay to SOR an amount equal to the Full Termination Payment;

(v) by SOR II pursuant toSection 9.1(c)(i)(SOR Terminating Breach), then SOR shall pay to SOR II up to $3 million to reimburse for SOR II’s Expenses; or

(vi) by SOR pursuant toSection 9.1(d)(i)(SOR II Terminating Breach), then SOR II shall pay to SOR up to $3 million to reimburse for SOR’s Expenses.

Payment of the Termination Payment shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to the account or accounts designated by SOR: (i) within two (2) Business Days after the consummation of any transaction contemplated by an Acquisition Proposal, in the case of a Termination Payment payable pursuant toSection 9.3(b)(i); (ii) concurrently with termination in the case of a Termination Payment payable pursuant toSection 9.3(b)(ii); and (iii) as promptly as reasonably practicable after termination (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days thereof), in the case of a Termination Payment payable pursuant toSection 9.3(b)(iii) orSection 9.3(b)(iv).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that the Termination Payment becomes payable, then such payment shall be SOR’s and its Affiliates’ sole and exclusive remedy as liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages of any nature against SOR II and its Subsidiaries and their respective Representatives in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the termination of this Agreement, the failure of the Merger to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally, or otherwise) or otherwise.

(e) Each of the Parties acknowledges that the agreements contained in thisSection 9.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that without these agreements, the other Parties would not enter into this Agreement. In the event that SOR II shall fail to pay the applicable Termination Payment when due, SOR II shall reimburse the SOR for all reasonable costs and expenses actually incurred or accrued by SOR (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection under and enforcement of thisSection 9.3. Further, if SOR II fails to timely pay any amount due pursuant toSection 9.3(b), and, in order to obtain the payment, SOR commences a suit which results in a judgment against SOR II for the payment set forth in thisSection 9.3, SOR II shall pay to SOR its reasonable and documented costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees) in connection with such suit, together with interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal in effect on the date such payment was required to be made through the date of payment.

(f) If SOR II becomes obligated to pay a Termination Payment under thisSection 9.3, then SOR II shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the applicable Termination Payment with an escrow agent reasonably selected by SOR, after reasonable consultation with SOR II, and pursuant to a written escrow agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) reflecting the terms set forth in thisSection 9.3 and otherwise reasonably acceptable to each of the Parties and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the applicable Termination Payment pursuant to thisSection 9.3(b) shall be made by SOR II promptly after receipt of notice from SOR that the Escrow Agreement has been executed by the parties thereto and once deposited

in escrow shall relieve SOR II from any further obligation to pay any fee required under thisSection 9.3. The Escrow Agreement shall provide that the Termination Payment in escrow or the applicable portion thereof shall be released to SOR on an annual basis based upon the delivery by SOR to the escrow agent of any one (or a combination) of the following:

(i) a letter from SOR’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to SOR without causing SOR to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code for the applicable taxable year of SOR determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2)(A) (H) or 856(c)(3)(A) (I) of the Code (such income, “Qualifying REIT Income”), in which case the escrow agent shall release to SOR such maximum amount stated in the accountant’s letter;

(ii) a letter from SOR’s counsel indicating that SOR received a private letter ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by SOR of the applicable Termination Payment would either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to SOR the remainder of the applicable Termination Payment; or

(iii) a letter from SOR’s counsel indicating that SOR has received a tax opinion from SOR’s outside counsel or accountant, respectively, to the effect that the receipt by SOR of the applicable Termination Payment should either constitute Qualifying REIT Income or should be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Section 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, in which case the escrow agent shall release to SOR the remainder of the applicable Termination Payment.

The Parties agree to cooperate in good faith to amend thisSection 9.3(f) at the reasonable request of SOR in order to (A) maximize the portion of the applicable Termination Payment that may be distributed to SOR hereunder without causing SOR to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (B) improve SOR’s chances of securing the favorable private letter ruling from the IRS described in thisSection 9.3(f) or (C) assist SOR in obtaining the favorable tax opinion from its outside counsel or accountant described in thisSection 9.3(f). The Escrow Agreement shall provide that SOR shall bear all costs and expenses under the Escrow Agreement and that any portion of the applicable Termination Payment held in escrow for ten (10) years shall be released by the escrow agent to SOR II. SOR II shall not be a party to the Escrow Agreement and shall not bear any liability, cost or expense resulting directly or indirectly from the Escrow Agreement (other than any Taxes imposed on SOR II in connection therewith). SOR shall fully indemnify SOR II and hold SOR II harmless from and against any such liability, cost or expense.

Section 9.4Amendment. Subject to compliance with applicable Law, this Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the Parties by action taken or authorized by the SOR Special Committee and the SOR II Special Committee, respectively, at any time before or after receipt of the Stockholder Approval and prior to the Merger Effective Time;provided, that after the Stockholder Approval has been obtained, there shall not be (i) any amendment of this Agreement that changes the amount or the form of the consideration to be delivered under this

Agreement to the holders of SOR II Common Stock, or which by applicable Law requires the further approval of the stockholders of SOR II without such further approval of such stockholders, or (ii) any amendment or change not permitted under applicable Law. This Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties.

If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any present or future Law, or public policy, (a) such term or other provision shall be fully separable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, and (c) all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable term or other provision or by its severance herefrom so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.

Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed on behalf of such Party. The failure of any Party to this Agreement to assert any of its rights under this Agreement or otherwise shall not constitute a waiver of those rights.

Section 10.7Governing Law; Venue.
