Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, from and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity in each Merger shall possess all properties, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of each of USLV Holdco or any Additional Holdco, as applicable, and Black Creek Holdco (or the applicable New Merger Party, as the case may be), and all of the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of each of USLV Holdco or any Additional Holdco, as applicable, and Black Creek Holdco (or the applicable New Merger Party, as the case may be) shall become the claims, obligations, liabilities, debts and duties of such Surviving Entity.

12

(b)Black Creek Holdco shall have the right to assign all or a portion of its rights pursuant to this Agreement with respect to any Asset Transfer to one or more of its Affiliates by providing the Sellers with written notice of such assignment on or prior to the Black Creek Holdco Notice Date; provided that such assignment shall not release or relieve Black Creek Holdco of its obligations under this Agreement.  

(c)Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, USLF and USLV shall cause USLF TRS (in the case of USLF) and each of USLV TRS and USLV SubREIT (in the case of USLV) to sell, or cause to be sold, USLF Holdco, Renton Property Owner and each Asset Sale Subsidiary to Black Creek Holdco or to an Affiliate of Black Creek Holdco by delivering one or more Assignments of Limited Liability Company Interests (each, an “Interest Assignment”) to Black Creek Holdco or its Affiliate in a form to be reasonably agreed by the Parties prior to Closing (it being understood and agreed that such Interest Assignment shall provide that (i) each such sale is on an “as is, where is” basis without any representation or warranty by USLF or USLV, as the case may be, except the representations and warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement and (ii) Black Creek Holdco and its Affiliates shall have no recourse against, and shall fully release, USLF or USLV, as applicable, and its Affiliates, except in respect of the rights of Black Creek Holdco and its permitted assigns under this Agreement).

(d)Upon the terms and subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of this Agreement, at the Effective Time, USLF shall cause USLF TRS to sell an eighty-nine percent (89%) limited liability company interest in each of the Property Owning Subsidiaries set forth on Section 1.3(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter to Black Creek Holdco or to an Affiliate of Black Creek Holdco by delivering one or more Interest Assignments to Black Creek Holdco or its Affiliate in a form to be reasonably agreed by the Parties prior to Closing (it being understood and agreed that such Interest Assignment shall provide that (i) such sale is on an “as is, where is” basis without any representation or warranty by USLF, except the representations and warranties made by the Sellers in this Agreement and (ii) Black Creek Holdco and its Affiliates shall have no recourse against, and shall fully release, USLF and its Affiliates, except in respect of the rights of Black Creek Holdco and its permitted assigns under this Agreement).  

Section 2.4Pre-Closing Contribution TransactionsOn or prior to the date that is ten (10) days prior the Closing, USLF and USLV shall cause the following to occur:

(a)USLF shall (i) form, or cause to be formed, such Additional Holdcos as directed in the Black Creek Notice, in each case as a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of USLF TRS, and (ii) in accordance with the Black Creek Notice, cause the direct owner of each Property Owning Subsidiary that is directly or indirectly owned by USLF to contribute and convey to the applicable Additional Holdco, and shall cause the applicable Additional Holdco to accept, all right, title and interest of such direct owner in and to the equity interests of each such Property Owning Subsidiary; and

(b)USLV shall (i) form, or cause to be formed, such Additional Holdcos as directed in the Black Creek Notice, in each case as a Delaware limited liability company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of USLV TRS, and (ii) in accordance with the Black Creek Notice, cause the direct owner of each Property Owning Subsidiary that is directly or indirectly owned by

13

USLV to contribute and convey to the applicable Additional Holdco, and shall cause the applicable Additional Holdco to accept, all right, title and interest of such direct owner in and to the equity interests of each such Property Owning Subsidiary.

(c)USLF shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to assign or otherwise transfer the Persons set forth on Section 1.3(b) of the Seller Disclosure Letter to USLF TRS or another Affiliate of the Sellers that is not a Sale Subsidiary; it being understood and agreed that (i) such assignment or transfer shall be on an “as is, where is” basis without any representation or warranty by USLF Holdco, and (ii) USLF, USLF TRS and their Affiliates shall have no recourse against, and shall fully release, USLF Holdco, Black Creek Holdco and their Affiliates.

(d)USLF shall take, or cause to be taken, all actions necessary to assign, distribute or otherwise transfer an eighty-nine percent (89%) limited liability company interest in each of the Property Owning Subsidiaries set forth on Section 1.3(c) of the Seller Disclosure Letter to USLF TRS; it being understood and agreed that (i) such assignment or transfer shall be on an “as is, where is” basis without any representation or warranty by USLF Holdco, and (ii) USLF, USLF TRS and their Affiliates shall have no recourse against, and shall fully release, USLF Holdco, Black Creek Holdco and their Affiliates.

For the avoidance of doubt, all of the Property Owning Subsidiaries, other than any Property Owning Subsidiary identified as an Asset Sale Subsidiary in accordance with Section 2.3(a), are currently owned by USLF Holdco, USLV Holdco or USLV SubREIT, as the case may be, or shall be transferred to an Additional Holdco as provided above.

Section 2.5Black Creek Holdco DepositWithin two (2) Business Days after the date of this Agreement, Black Creek Holdco shall deposit with the Title Company an earnest money deposit in the amount of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($100,000,000) (the “Deposit”).  The Deposit shall be non-refundable (except as otherwise specified herein) when paid to the Title Company and shall be delivered to and held by the Title Company pursuant to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.6Escrow Agent for the DepositThe Deposit will be placed with and held in escrow by First American Title Insurance Company, 101 Mission Street, Suite 1600, San Francisco, CA 94105-1730, Attention: Heather Kucala (the “Title Company”), in immediately available funds in an interest bearing account at a mutually acceptable banking institution. Any interest earned by the Deposit shall be considered as part of the Deposit for all purposes under this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the Deposit will be applied to the Merger Consideration at the Closing.

Section 2.7Closing.  Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with Article 9 hereof, the closing of the Merger and the Asset Transfers (the “Closing”), will take place at the offices of Hogan Lovells US LLP, 555 13th Street NW, Washington, DC 20004 on July 14, 2021, subject to satisfaction or valid waiver by the Party entitled to the benefit of such condition (subject to applicable Law) (other than those conditions that by their nature are to be satisfied or waived at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or valid waiver of such conditions), unless such date is extended by mutual agreement of the Parties. The actual date of the Closing shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Date.”  The Parties intend that neither the Merger nor any Asset

14

Transfer shall be consummated at the Closing unless the Merger and all of the Asset Transfers occur in connection with the Closing.

Section 2.8Effective TimeThe Parties shall cause the Merger and the Asset Transfers to be consummated as soon as practicable on the Closing Date.  Prior to the Closing, Black Creek Holdco and the Sellers shall prepare and, on the Closing Date, Black Creek Holdco and the Sellers shall (i) cause a certificate of merger with respect to the Merger (the “Merger Certificate”) to be duly executed and filed with the DSOS as provided under the Delaware LLC Act and (ii) make any other filings, recordings or publications required, if any, under the Delaware LLC Act in connection with the Merger.  The Merger shall become effective upon such time as the Merger Certificate has been filed with the DSOS, or such later time that the Parties shall have agreed upon and designated in the Merger Certificate in accordance with the Delaware LLC Act as the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”).  The Asset Transfers shall be effective at the Effective Time.

Section 2.9Governing DocumentsAt the Effective Time, the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of Black Creek Holdco as in effect immediately before the Effective Time shall be the certificate of formation and limited liability company agreement of the Surviving Entity until thereafter changed or amended as provided therein or in accordance with applicable Law.

Section 2.10Tax ConsequencesThe Parties intend that for U.S. federal income tax purposes the Merger and the Asset Transfers will be treated as a taxable sale (a) by USLF TRS of the assets of USLF Holdco, any applicable Additional Holdco and any applicable Asset Sale Subsidiary, (b) by USLV TRS of the assets of USLV Holdco, any applicable Additional Holdco and any applicable Asset Sale Subsidiary and (c) by USLV SubREIT of the assets of Renton Property Owner, in each case to Black Creek Holdco in exchange for the relevant portion of the Merger Consideration as determined pursuant to Section 3.2.  Additionally, Sellers may consummate the Merger and the Asset Transfers as part of a so-called like-kind exchange (an “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.  Should Sellers elect to consummate an Exchange it shall be conditioned upon: (a) all costs, fees, and expenses attendant to the Exchange being the sole responsibility of Sellers; (b) the Closing not being delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange; (c) the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange not being a condition precedent or condition subsequent to any Party’s obligations and covenants under this Agreement; (d) Black Creek Holdco and its Affiliates not being required to acquire or hold title to any real property other than the applicable assets of USLF Holdco, USLV Holdco, Renton Property Owner or any applicable Additional Holdco for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (e) Black Creek Holdco having the right to review and approve (with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) all documents it is requested to execute in connection with the Exchange.

Section 2.11ProrationsIn addition to any other credit or prorations provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the Merger Consideration due at Closing pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be adjusted as of the Closing Date in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Section 2.11.  The Sellers and Black Creek Holdco agree to prepare a proration schedule (the “Proration Schedule”) of adjustments five (5) Business Days prior to Closing.  Such adjustments, if and to the extent known and agreed upon as of the Closing Date, shall be paid by the Sellers to Black Creek Holdco (if the prorations result in a net credit to Black Creek Holdco) or by Black Creek Holdco to the Sellers

15

(if the prorations result in a net credit to the Sellers), by increasing or reducing the cash to be paid by Black Creek Holdco at Closing.  Any such adjustments not determined or agreed upon as of the Closing Date shall be paid by Black Creek Holdco to the Sellers, or the Sellers to Black Creek Holdco, as the case may be, in cash as soon as practicable following the Closing Date.  All prorations hereinafter provided to be made as of the Closing shall each be made as of 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on the day before the Closing Date (the “Proration Date”), and Black Creek Holdco shall be deemed to be title holder of the applicable Properties, and therefore entitled to the revenue and responsible for the expenses, after 12:00 a.m. Mountain Time on the Closing Date.   

(a)All collected rent (including tenant reimbursements for Operating Costs (defined in subsection (b) below) and other collected income and any applicable state or local tax on rent) and Operating Costs under the Leases and Ground Leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Proration Date. Black Creek Holdco shall be entitled to a credit at Closing for any rent and other income collected by the Sellers before Closing but applicable to any period of time after the Proration Date. Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated at Closing. The Sellers shall receive rent and revenue accruing prior to the Closing Date.  The Sellers shall be entitled to a credit for (i) any prepaid expenses applicable to any period of time after the Closing, (ii) the amount of any cash in any bank account of the Sale Subsidiaries to the extent that such cash is not with respect to any required reserve or other item subject to credit or proration pursuant to this Section 2.11 and (iii) the reimbursements for the costs of the contracts identified in Section 2.11 of the Seller Disclosure Letter with respect to expenditures with respect thereto by the applicable Sale Subsidiaries prior to the Closing (which contracts the Sellers will cause to be assigned to Black Creek Holdco or its designee at the Closing).  Black Creek Holdco shall be entitled to a credit for any unpaid expenses applicable to any period of time prior to the Proration Date. Further notwithstanding the foregoing, no prorations shall be made for any unpaid amounts due and payable prior to Closing or for delinquent rents existing, if any, as of the Closing Date.  Although no adjustments shall be made in the Sellers’ favor for rents that have accrued and are unpaid up to the date of Closing, Black Creek Holdco shall pay the Sellers such accrued and unpaid rents as and when collected by Black Creek Holdco (including any amounts paid with respect to the promissory notes set forth in Section 4.16(f) of the Seller Disclosure Letter), it being agreed, however, that Black Creek Holdco shall not be deemed to have collected such arrearages attributable to the period prior to Closing until such time as the tenant is current in the payment of all rent and other sums accruing as of or after the Closing Date.  For a period of ninety (90) days after the Closing, Black Creek Holdco agrees to bill tenants of the Properties for all past due rents that are accrued but unpaid as of the Closing; however, (i) Black Creek Holdco shall not be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket expenses (unless paid by the Sellers), (ii) Black Creek Holdco may deduct any of its reasonable costs of collection from any amounts due the Sellers, and (iii) under any circumstance, Black Creek Holdco shall not be obligated to file any legal action or terminate any Lease or Ground Lease.  The Sellers may take reasonable action to collect any delinquent rents; provided that the Sellers may not commence any legal action against any tenant seeking termination of any lease and the Sellers may not commence any other legal action against any tenant prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the applicable Closing.  All rents received by Black Creek Holdco following the Closing shall be applied against the most recently accrued rent regardless of whether a tenant has specified in writing that such payment relates to a particular amount due to the Sellers, the Sellers shall promptly remit to Black Creek Holdco any rent received by the Sellers after Closing and Black Creek Holdco shall promptly remit to the Sellers any amount

16

due the Sellers in accordance with the penultimate sentence that is received by Black Creek Holdco after Closing.

(b)No later than sixty (60) days after the Closing Date, the Sellers shall provide Black Creek Holdco with a reasonably detailed reconciliation for each tenant showing all common area maintenance charges, property taxes, insurance and other operating cost pass-throughs payable by tenants (the “Operating Costs”) incurred by the Sellers from the beginning of the then-current calendar year up to the Closing Date, and any Operating Cost estimates or charges collected by the Sellers during the same period of time and relating to such tenant, all in the form customarily submitted to each tenant (the “CAM Reconciliation”).  To the extent that the CAM Reconciliation reveals that the Sellers have over-collected Operating Costs such that, if the end of the operating cost year under the Leases and Ground Leases was the Closing Date, the Sellers would provide a credit to Black Creek Holdco for the amount of such over-collected Operating Costs (an “Over Collection”).  To the extent that the CAM Reconciliation reveals that the Sellers have under-collected Operating Costs such that, if the end of the operating cost year under the Leases and Ground Leases was the Closing Date, the Sellers would receive a credit from Black Creek Holdco for the amount of such under-collected Operating Costs at the Closing (an “Under Collection”).  The Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon the CAM Reconciliation within thirty (30) days and the applicable Party shall pay to the other Party the applicable amounts within fifteen (15) days after reaching such agreement.  Operating Costs that are payable by tenants directly to the applicable service providers shall not be prorated between the Sellers and Black Creek Holdco and any utility bills shall be prorated in accordance with Section 2.11(d).  For the avoidance of doubt, the CAM Reconciliation in respect of the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be completed prior to the Closing Date.

(c)Taxes and assessments imposed by a Governmental Authority that are not yet due and payable and that are not payable by tenants under the Leases and Ground Leases directly to the governmental authorities shall be prorated as of the Proration Date on an accrual basis based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates available; provided, however, that if real or personal property taxes are estimated and not known, or supplemental taxes are assessed, then once known, after Closing, Black Creek Holdco and the Sellers promptly shall pay to the other any amount required as a result of such adjustments. The Sellers shall receive a credit for any Taxes and assessments paid by the Sellers and applicable to any period after the Closing. Black Creek Holdco shall receive a credit for any Taxes and assessments paid by Black Creek Holdco at or following Closing and applicable to any period prior to the Closing. Prior to Closing, the Sellers shall pay all taxes and special assessments on the Properties as and when they become due and prior to delinquency.  Notwithstanding anything seemingly to the contrary contained herein, Black Creek Holdco shall be solely responsible for and shall assume any and all “Prop 13” or similar taxes or assessments applicable to the Properties as a result of a change in ownership resulting from this transaction, regardless of when assessed; however, any “Prop 13” or similar taxes or assessments that are for the period prior to the Closing Date shall be Sellers’ responsibility, and in no event shall Black Creek Holdco be responsible for same.

(d)The readings and billings for utilities will be made if possible as of the Proration Date, in which case the Sellers shall pay all such bills and no proration shall be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills.  Otherwise, a proration shall be made based upon the Parties’ reasonable good faith estimate and a readjustment made within sixty (60) days after the

17

Closing, if necessary.  Black Creek Holdco shall assume any and all deposit(s) for any or all utility(ies), and the Sellers shall receive a credit for such deposit(s) at Closing.  The Sellers agree to reasonably cooperate with Black Creek Holdco in transferring utility service and the Sellers’ accounts with respect to the Properties and shall refrain from any action likely to result in a termination or interruption of utility service upon the Closing and transfer of ownership to Black Creek Holdco.   

(e)Tenant Deposits.

(i)All tenant security deposits to the extent actually received by the Sellers and not applied to tenant obligations under the Leases prior to the Closing shall be transferred or credited to Black Creek Holdco at Closing or placed in escrow if required by Law. As of the Closing, Black Creek Holdco shall assume the Sellers’ obligations related to tenant security deposits but only to the extent of the tenant security deposits transferred to Black Creek Holdco at Closing.  The Sellers shall not apply any security deposits between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date. At the Closing and at the Sellers’ sole cost and expense, the Sellers agree to cause the transfer to Black Creek Holdco of any letters of credit, bonds, notes or other instruments constituting tenant security deposits under any of the Leases. If any tenant security deposit is in the form of a bond or letter of credit, then, unless and until the Sellers deliver to Black Creek Holdco either a fully executed assignment to Black Creek Holdco of the beneficial interest under such bond or letter of credit together with the bond or letter of credit issuer’s express written consent to such assignment or a full replacement for such bond or letter of credit issued by the bond or letter of credit issuer directly in favor of Black Creek Holdco, the amount of such bond or letter of credit shall, at Black Creek Holdco’s option, either be paid to Black Creek Holdco at the Closing or credited against the Merger Consideration.

(ii)BLACK CREEK HOLDCO WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD THE SELLERS HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL DEMANDS AND CLAIMS MADE BY TENANTS ARISING OUT OF THE APPLICATION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY SECURITY DEPOSITS THAT ARE MADE AFTER THE TRANSFER TO BLACK CREEK HOLDCO, AND WILL REIMBURSE THE SELLERS FOR ALL ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED OR THAT MAY BE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS AS WELL AS FOR ALL LOSS, EXPENSES, VERDICTS, JUDGMENTS, SETTLEMENTS, INTEREST, COSTS AND OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED OR THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY THE SELLERS AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS BY TENANTS.

(iii)EACH OF USLF, ON THE ONE HAND, AND USLV, ON THE OTHER HAND, SEVERALLY AND NOT JOINTLY AND SEVERALLY, WILL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD BLACK CREEK HOLDCO HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ALL DEMANDS AND CLAIMS MADE BY TENANTS OF ANY PROPERTY OWNING SUBSIDIARY OF USLF OR USLV, RESPECTIVELY, ARISING OUT OF THE APPLICATION OR DISPOSITION OF ANY SECURITY DEPOSITS PRIOR TO THE CLOSING, AND WILL REIMBURSE BLACK CREEK HOLDCO FOR ALL ATTORNEYS’ FEES INCURRED OR THAT MAY BE INCURRED AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS AS WELL AS FOR ALL LOSS, EXPENSES, VERDICTS, JUDGMENTS, SETTLEMENTS, INTEREST, COSTS AND OTHER EXPENSES INCURRED OR THAT MAY

18

BE INCURRED BY BLACK CREEK HOLDCO AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH CLAIMS OR DEMANDS BY TENANTS WITH RESPECT TO ANY PROPERTY OWNING SUBSIDIARY OF USLF OR USLV, RESPECTIVELY.

(f)To the extent that there have been any payments of hard and soft fees, costs and expenses (the “Tenant Improvement Costs”) associated with the design, engineering, permitting and construction of all tenant improvements and other modifications (“Tenant Improvements”) required under any Lease entered into during the Interim Period (“New Leases”), including without limitation permit costs, and for all leasing commissions paid or payable in connection with such New Leases (“Leasing Commissions”), the Sellers shall receive a credit for the amount of any costs incurred by the Sellers prior to the Closing for such Tenant Improvement Costs or Leasing Commissions based on the proportionate amount of months remaining on any such New Lease for which the Sellers have not yet collected any rent payments (i.e., if the such New Lease has a term of 24 months and 6 months of rent payments have been collected, Sellers shall receive a credit equal to 75% of such costs).  The completion of the Tenant Improvements, if any, by the Sellers shall not be a condition to Closing.

(g)At the Closing, Black Creek Holdco and the Sellers shall execute a closing settlement statement to reflect the credits, prorations and adjustments contemplated by or specifically provided for in this Agreement (the “Settlement Statement”).

(h)The Sellers and Black Creek Holdco shall undertake, following Closing, to adjust between themselves, as of the Closing Date, any revenue or expenses of the Properties that are not adjusted on the Settlement Statement.  The Sellers shall pay promptly upon receipt any bills relating to the operation of the Properties for periods prior to Closing and Black Creek Holdco shall pay promptly upon receipt any bills relating to the operation of the Properties for the periods after the Closing.

(i)The Parties acknowledge and agree that to the extent any amounts under this Section 2.11 are owing from the Sellers, such amounts shall be paid by USLF TRS, USLV TRS or USLV SubREIT, as applicable, or otherwise reduce the Merger Consideration to be received by USLF TRS, USLV TRS or USLV SubREIT, and to the extent that any amounts under this Section 2.11 are owed to the Sellers, such amounts shall be paid to USLF TRS, USLV TRS or USLV SubREIT, as applicable, or otherwise increase the Merger Consideration to be received by USLF TRS, USLV TRS or USLV SubREIT.

(j)The provisions of this Section 2.11 shall survive indefinitely the Closing, and shall not be deemed merged into any other documents.

Section 9.2Notice of Termination; Effect of Termination

(a)In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall be given to the other Party, specifying the provisions hereof pursuant to which such termination is made and describing the basis therefor in reasonable detail, and this Agreement shall forthwith become void and have no effect, without any liability or obligation on the part of Black Creek Holdco or the Sellers (except as otherwise provided in Section 9.2(c)), except that the provisions of Section 7.1(d) (Confidentiality), Section 7.3 (Public Announcements), this Section 9.2, Section 9.3 (Default and Remedies), Section 9.4 (Fees and Expenses), and Article 11 (General Provisions) and the definitions of all defined terms appearing in such sections, shall survive such termination of this Agreement; provided that no such termination shall relieve any Party from any liability or damages resulting from any fraud in connection with this Agreement or any willful and material breach of any of its covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement prior to such termination of this Agreement,

54

in which case the aggrieved party hereto shall be entitled to all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

(b)In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Parties pursuant to Section 9.1(a) or by either Black Creek Holdco or the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(b), the Title Company shall promptly return the entire Deposit to Black Creek Holdco, and no Party will have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, other than as set forth herein with respect to the rights and obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement.

(c)In the event that this Agreement is terminated by the Sellers pursuant to Section 9.1(d), the Title Company shall disburse the entire Deposit to the Sellers (to be divided among them as they may agree), and no Party will have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, other than as set forth herein with respect to the rights and obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE SELLERS’ ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO SECTION 9.1(d) WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, REPRESENTS EACH PARTY’S BEST ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES.  

(d)In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Black Creek Holdco pursuant to Section 9.1(c), the Title Company shall promptly return the entire Deposit to Black Creek Holdco, the Sellers will reimburse Black Creek Holdco for its reasonable third party, out-of-pocket costs and expenses actually incurred by Black Creek Holdco in connection with this Agreement (so long as Black Creek Holdco provides reasonably detailed evidence of such costs to the Sellers), including attorneys’ fees, engineering fees, accountants’ fees, consultants’ fees, environmental consulting fees, and other costs incurred in connection with the Merger and the Asset Transfers and the negotiation of this Agreement, up to a maximum of TWO HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($250,000) (the “Transaction Costs”), and no Party shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement, except as otherwise set forth herein with respect to the rights or obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in lieu of Black Creek Holdco terminating this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.1(c)(ii) and its receipt of the Transaction Costs, Black Creek Holdco may enforce specific performance of the Sellers’ obligations hereunder with respect to the Closing as is sole and exclusive remedy, subject to the provisions of Section 9.3.

(e)NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT: (i) EACH PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND AGAINST SUCH PARTY’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, OR ANY OF THEM; AND (ii) IN NO EVENT WILL ANY PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY SUCH PARTY’S SUCCESSORS OR ASSIGNS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES.

(f)For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in the event of any default by Black Creek Holdco under this Agreement other than a default in its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, following the Closing, the Sellers shall be entitled to indemnification to the

55

extent provided in Article 10, and (ii) in the event of any default by the Sellers under this Agreement other than a default in its obligation to consummate the transactions contemplated herein, following the Closing, Black Creek Holdco shall be entitled to indemnification to the extent provided in Article 10.

Section 9.3Specific Performance.

(a)As a condition to Black Creek Holdco being entitled to pursue the remedy of specific performance pursuant to this Section 9.3(a), Black Creek Holdco must make its election of remedies under Section 9.2(d) with respect to the Closing within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date (“Remedy Period”). If Black Creek Holdco elects to enforce specific performance with respect to the Closing, then Black Creek Holdco must both give written notice of such election (“Remedy Notice”) to the Sellers during the Remedy Period and file a lawsuit for specific performance within fifteen (15) days after the Remedy Period.  Unless and until Black Creek Holdco files an action for specific performance within the applicable time periods set forth in this Section 9.3(a), Black Creek Holdco shall not have the right or authority to place a lis pendens against all or any of the Property Owning Subsidiaries or all or any portion of the Properties, and Black Creek Holdco hereby waives and releases any right it may have under applicable law to file any lis pendens other than in connection with an action for specific performance.

(b)Black Creek Holdco’s failure to give the Remedy Notice with respect to the Closing and to file a lawsuit for specific performance within the applicable time periods set forth above shall constitute an irrevocable election by Black Creek Holdco not to pursue its remedy of specific performance, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, as contemplated in Section 9.1(c) and Section 9.2(d).

Section 9.4Fees and ExpensesExcept as otherwise provided in this Section 9.4, all fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement, the Merger, the Asset Transfers and the other transactions contemplated hereby shall be paid by the Party incurring such fees or expenses, whether or not the Merger and the Asset Transfers are consummated; provided that, at the Closing, Black Creek Holdco shall reimburse the Sellers for the actual cost of the most recently completed survey and zoning reports. For the avoidance of doubt, the Sellers shall pay all fees owed to CBRE in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

The amount of any such Losses shall be calculated after application of any insurance proceeds actually received by an Indemnified Party; it being understood that each such Indemnified Party shall have an obligation to pursue its insurers for the purpose of mitigating any such Losses.

(e)For the avoidance of doubt, this Article 10 shall not apply to claims for any Party’s failure to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to Article 9.

Section 10.4Direct Claims Indemnification Procedures

60

(a)If an Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification hereunder, then such Indemnified Party shall deliver a written demand (a “Claim Certificate”) to the Sellers (in the case of an indemnification claim from a Black Creek Holdco Indemnified Party), or to Black Creek Holdco (in the case of an indemnification claim from a Seller Indemnified Party) as applicable (each, an “Indemnifying Party”), which Claim Certificate shall contain a description of, and if reasonably determinable at the time such demand is delivered, a good faith estimate of the amount of any Losses incurred or reasonably expected to be incurred by such Indemnified Party and a reasonable explanation of the basis therefor. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article 10 except and only to the extent that the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party and except to the extent a Claim Certificate is delivered after the expiration of the applicable Survival Period, in which case, the claim and all Losses associated therewith shall be forever barred.

(b)In the event that the Indemnifying Party does not, within thirty (30) days of the receipt thereof, object in writing to any claim or claims made in any Claim Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall again deliver such Claim Certificate to the Indemnifying Party, and in the event that the Indemnifying Party does not, within thirty (30) days of the receipt of such second delivery of such Claim Certificate, object in writing to any claim or claims made in any such Claim Certificate pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the claim specified therein shall be deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party hereunder, and the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party an amount equal to the Losses set forth in the Claim Certificate within ten (10) days of the second delivery thereof or, if the amount of Losses associated with the claim set forth in the Claim Certificate is not then known, within ten (10) days following the date the Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying Party of the amount of such Losses.

(c)In case the Indemnifying Party objects in writing to any claim or claims made in any Claim Certificate, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall attempt in good faith to agree upon the rights of the respective parties with respect to each of such claims within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of the Claim Certificate. If the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party should so agree, a memorandum setting forth such agreement shall be prepared and signed by the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party, and the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnified Party the amount set forth in such memorandum in accordance with the terms thereof within ten (10) days of the date of such memorandum. In the event that the parties are not able to reach an agreement, or the memorandum contains an agreement as to only a portion of the Losses in question, the parties may resolve such dispute through judicial actions, suits or proceedings, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, brought by either party or by such other means as such parties mutually agree.

Section 10.5Defense of Third-Party Claims.

(a)An Indemnified Party shall give prompt written notice to an Indemnifying Party of the commencement or assertion of any Third Party Claim in respect of which such Indemnified Party shall seek indemnification hereunder. Any failure so to notify an Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such Indemnifying Party from any liability that it, he, or she may have to such Indemnified Party under this Article 10 except and only to the extent that the failure to give such notice materially and adversely prejudices such Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume control of the defense of, settle or otherwise dispose of such Third-Party Claim on such terms as it reasonably deems appropriate, by providing written notice of its assumption of such control to the Indemnified Party within fifteen (15) days from the date on which the Indemnifying Party received notice from the Indemnified Party of the commencement or assertion of such Third-Party Claim; provided that:

(i)the Indemnified Party shall be entitled, at its own expense, to participate in the defense of such Third Party Claim (provided that the Indemnifying Party shall pay the attorneys’ fees of the Indemnified Party if: (A) the employment of separate counsel has been authorized in writing by such Indemnifying Party in connection with the defense of such Third Party Claim; (B) the Indemnifying Party has not employed counsel reasonably satisfactory

61

to the Indemnified Party in such Third Party Claim; or (C) the Indemnified Party’s counsel has advised the Indemnified Party in writing, with a copy delivered to the Indemnifying Party, that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel);

(ii)the Indemnifying Party shall obtain the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party before entering into any settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of the validity of such third-party action or any liability in respect thereof if, pursuant to or as a result of such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment, any injunctive or other equitable relief would be imposed against the Indemnified Party or if, in the reasonable opinion of the Indemnified Party, such settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment would materially adversely affect its business;

(iii)an Indemnifying Party may only consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement so long as it includes as an unconditional term thereof the giving by each claimant or plaintiff to each Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such third-party action; and

(iv)the Indemnifying Party shall pay for, but shall not be entitled to control (but shall be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense of), and the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to have sole control over, the defense or settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment of any Third Party Claim: (A) as to which the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense within a reasonable length of time; or (B) to the extent the Third Party Claim seeks an order, injunction, or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Party which, if successful, would materially adversely affect the business, operations, assets, or financial condition of the Indemnified Party; provided that the Indemnified Party shall make no settlement, compromise, admission, or acknowledgment that would give rise to liability on the part of any Indemnifying Party without the prior written consent of such Indemnifying Party.

(b)The Parties hereto shall extend reasonable cooperation in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 10.5 and, in connection therewith, shall furnish such records, information, and testimony and attend such conferences, discovery proceedings, hearings, trials, and appeals as may be reasonably requested.

Section 11.2SeverabilityIf any term or other provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced under any present or future Law or public policy in any jurisdiction, as to that jurisdiction, (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, (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, and (d) such terms or other provision shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced in any jurisdiction, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.

Section 11.3CounterpartsThis Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall be deemed one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Parties. Signatures to this Agreement transmitted by electronic mail in .pdf format, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.

Section 11.4Entire Agreement; No Third-Party BeneficiariesThis Agreement (including the Seller Disclosure Letter) constitutes the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the Parties, or between any of them, with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. The representations and warranties in this Agreement are the product of negotiations among the Parties and are for the sole benefit of the Parties. Any inaccuracies in such representations and warranties are subject to waiver by the Parties in accordance with Section 11.6 without notice or liability to any other Person.  The representations and warranties in this Agreement may represent an allocation among the Parties of risks associated with particular matters regardless of the knowledge of any of the Parties.  Accordingly, persons other than the Parties may not rely upon the representations and warranties in this Agreement as characterizations of actual facts or circumstances as of the date of this Agreement or as of any other date.

Section 11.5AmendmentThis Agreement may not be amended except by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties.

Section 11.6Extension; WaiverAt any time prior to the Effective Time, the Parties hereto may, subject to the requirements of applicable Law, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other Parties hereto, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other Party contained in this Agreement or in any document delivered pursuant to this Agreement, or (c) waive compliance with any of the agreements or conditions contained in this Agreement. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such

64

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.  No single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  Any waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given and shall not constitute a waiver to any subsequent or other exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder.

Section 11.7Governing LawThis Agreement, the filing of the Merger Certificate, and all Actions (whether at law, in contract or in tort) that may be based upon, arise out of or relate to this Agreement or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice or conflicts of Law principles (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the Laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

Section 11.8Consent to JurisdictionEach Party irrevocably agrees and consents (a) to submit itself to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (the “Delaware Chancery Court”) for the purpose of any Action (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise), directly or indirectly, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of the Parties in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement, (b) that it will not attempt to deny or defeat such jurisdiction by motion or other request for leave from any such court, (c) that it waives any objection to the laying of venue of any Action in the Delaware Chancery Court and agrees not to plead or claim in the Delaware Chancery Court that such litigation brought therein has been brought in any inconvenient forum, (d) that it will not bring any Action relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the actions of the parties hereto in the negotiation, administration, performance and enforcement of this Agreement in any court other than the Delaware Chancery Court, and (e) that a final judgment in any Action shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law.  Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or affect the rights of any Party to pursue appeals from any judgments or order of the Delaware Chancery Court as provided by Law.  Each Party agrees, (x) to the extent such Party is not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, to appoint and maintain an agent in the State of Delaware as such Party’s agent for acceptance of legal process, and (y) that service of process may also be made on such Party by prepaid certified mail with a proof of mailing receipt validated by the United States Postal Service constituting evidence of valid service.  Service made pursuant to clauses (x) or (y) above shall have the same legal force and effect as if served upon such Party personally within the State of Delaware.

Section 11.9AssignmentOther than as expressly provided in this Agreement, including Sections 2.2 and 2.3, neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations under this Agreement shall be assigned or delegated, in whole or in part, by operation of Law or otherwise by any of the Parties without the prior written consent of the other Parties, and any attempt to make any such assignment without such consent shall be null and void.  Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement will be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

65

Section 11.10Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.  EACH PARTY (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVER AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.10.

Section 11.11AuthorshipThe Parties agree that the terms and language of this Agreement are the result of negotiations among the Parties and their respective advisors and, as a result, there shall be no presumption that any ambiguities in this Agreement shall be resolved against any Party. Any controversy over construction of this Agreement shall be decided without regard to events of authorship or negotiation.
