B. BR Lansbrook JV Member is the owner and holder of a 90% limited liability company interest in BR Xxxxxxx Lansbrook JV, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lansbrook JV”) which owns a 100% limited liability company interest in BR Xxxxxxx Lansbrook, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lansbrook Titleholder”), which is the fee simple owner and holder of the Lansbrook Property (as defined in Appendix 1.2).

E.

1.4 Reserved.

1.5 Descriptive Headings; Word Meaning. The descriptive headings of the paragraphs of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any provisions of this Agreement. Words such as “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereof” and “hereunder” when used in reference to this Agreement, refer to this Agreement as a whole and not merely to a subdivision in which such words appear, unless the context otherwise requires. The singular shall include the plural and the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter, and vice versa, unless the context otherwise requires. The word “including” shall not be restrictive and shall be interpreted as if followed by the words “without limitation.”

ARTICLE 2. INSPECTION

2.1 Due Diligence; Inspection. REIT shall have the Due Diligence Period in which to examine and inspect the Lansbrook Interests, the Companies and the Property to determine, in its sole discretion, whether the Lansbrook Interests, the Companies and the Property are satisfactory to the REIT. The REIT and other parties designated by it (collectively, “REIT’s Representatives”) shall have reasonable access to all books and records for the Property and the Companies that are in Sellers’ possession or control for the purpose of conducting due diligence and shall, subject to the rights of tenants under Leases, be able to conduct and complete such surveys, inspections and tests (including reasonable intrusive inspection and sampling), as may be required by the REIT, subject to the limitations set forth herein. In the course of its investigations, but subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, the REIT may make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation, municipal, local and other government representatives.

¹ The REIT’s payment of $14,193,315.07 assumes a closing of May 23, 2014. See Schedule 1.1 hereof for additional details.

If any inspection or test damages the Property, REIT will promptly restore at its sole expense the Property to its condition immediately prior to any such inspection or test. Notwithstanding the foregoing, REIT shall not conduct any soil borings, core samples or other invasive testing without the prior written consent of Sellers (and also without the prior written consent of the Xxxxxxx Entities to the extent Sellers determine such consent must be obtained), which consent by Sellers will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which shall be deemed given by Sellers unless the Sellers provide written notice of objection to REIT, specifying the basis for such objection, within three (3) days after submission by REIT of a written request for such testing. REIT shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers, Lansbrook Titleholder and the Xxxxxxx Entities harmless from any liens arising out of its inspections as well as any claims asserted by third parties against Sellers, Lansbrook Titleholder or the Xxxxxxx Entities (other than those arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers, Lansbrook Titleholder or the Xxxxxxx Entities or any of their respective Affiliates (other than REIT, its Subsidiaries and its Manager) to recover for personal injury or property damage as a result of REIT’s or REIT’s Representatives’ entry onto the Property; provided, however, the indemnity shall not extend to protect Sellers, Lansbrook Titleholder or the Xxxxxxx Entities from any pre-existing liabilities for matters merely discovered by REIT (i.e., latent environmental contamination) so long as REIT’s actions do not intentionally exacerbate such pre-existing liability. REIT shall procure and continue in force from and after the date REIT and REIT’s Representatives first enter the Property, and continuing throughout the term of this Agreement, liability insurance of not less than $1,000,000. Prior to entering the Property, REIT shall provide to Sellers a certificate of insurance evidencing such coverage and naming Lansbrook Titleholder and Property Manager as additional insured parties. REIT’s obligations under this Section 2.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of twelve (12) months.

2.2 Sellers’ Delivery of Specified Documents. Upon REIT’s written request, Sellers or their agents shall provide, subject to the provisions of Section 9.6, the REIT with access to a virtual data room containing any reasonable information sought by REIT (and not otherwise already in REIT’s possession) with respect to the Lansbrook Interests, the Companies and the Property. Information concerning the Property shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Property Information”, and information concerning the Lansbrook Interests and the Companies shall collectively be referred to herein as the “Company Information”. During the pendency of this Agreement, (i) Sellers shall post in the virtual data room any document described above as and when it comes into Sellers’ possession or control or is produced by Sellers, after the initial delivery of the Property Information; and (ii) Sellers shall endeavor to keep REIT reasonably informed as to the material operation of the Property, and at the written request of the REIT, shall post in such virtual data room copies of leasing status reports, operating statements and other management reports with respect to the Property prepared in the ordinary course of business. Without limiting the foregoing, Sellers shall make all other documents, files and information requested by REIT (and not otherwise already in REIT’s possession) concerning the Property and the Companies in the possession or control of Sellers available for REIT’s inspection in such virtual data room or such other location as the parties may reasonably agree.

2.3 Title and Survey. REIT, at its own expense, may, during the Due Diligence Period, order (i) any owner lien searches (or other title updates) with respect to the Property, (ii) such surveys or updates to existing surveys with respect to the Property as it desires and (iii) such UCC, judgment, and tax lien searches with respect to Sellers, the Companies and the Property as it desires. Sellers shall cooperate and shall cause other parties to cooperate with REIT’s inspections under this Section.

2.4 Objection Notice. If REIT is not satisfied in its sole discretion with any of its inspections, reviews or with any other matter concerning the Property or the Companies, REIT may, either (i) on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, terminate this Agreement by notice to the Sellers, in which event no party shall have further obligations hereunder, except for the payment of certain expenses pursuant to Section 5.3 and except with respect to the indemnity and defense provisions of Section 2.1, or (ii) on or prior to May 19, 2014, raise certain objections by providing notice to Sellers in writing (the “Objection Notice”), which Objection Notice may, at REIT’s option, specify in reasonable detail which matters (collectively, the “Objections”) REIT does not find satisfactory with respect to the Property and the Companies.

If REIT timely provides an Objection Notice, then the applicable Seller shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Objection Notice to notify REIT in writing as to whether it intends to remove, or cause to be corrected to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction prior to Closing, any of such Objections, and removal or correction of any such Objections which the applicable Seller elects to remove or correct (or is obligated to remove or correct hereunder) shall be a condition to REIT’s obligation to close (collectively, “Mandatory Cure Items”). Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Sellers shall not have any obligation to remove or correct any Objections other than voluntary Encumbrances of the Lansbrook Interests or the Property (but not including liens and security interests securing the Loans), or any other Objections which any Seller elects to cure as provided above, all of which shall be removed by such Seller on or before Closing. The Closing Date may be extended if needed to allow sufficient time for Sellers to remove or cure such Mandatory Cure Items. The foregoing notwithstanding, Sellers shall be required to (i) remove any mechanic’s or material liens encumbering the Property or (ii) cause such liens to be bonded over or secured to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction.

If Sellers do not elect in writing within such two (2) Business Day period to remove or correct any Objection to REIT’s reasonable satisfaction, then REIT (i) shall elect by written notice to Sellers, on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, to terminate this Agreement and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for the payment of certain expenses pursuant to Section 5.3 and except with respect to the indemnity and defense provisions of Section 2.1, or (ii) shall accept and purchase the Lansbrook Interests and the Property subject to any Objections (other than Mandatory Cure Items), and proceed to close as to all of the Lansbrook Interests, with the further right to deduct from the Consideration amounts required to remove any Mandatory Cure Items that are liens of an ascertainable amount and that are not removed by Sellers on or before Closing.

If this Agreement is not terminated on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then REIT shall proceed to close under this Agreement subject only to the satisfaction of REIT’s closing conditions set forth in Section 4.2 of this Agreement.

ARTICLE 3. OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS

3.1 Ongoing Operations. From the Effective Date through the Closing Date:

(a) Operation of Property. Sellers shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause Lansbrook Titleholder to maintain the Property in substantially its current condition, subject to ordinary wear and tear, natural deterioration and obsolescence between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, and in material compliance with all applicable Laws. Except as necessary to comply with the preceding sentence or to make the Real Property suitable for use by new tenants, Sellers shall not make or permit any material alterations to the Property or any portion thereof without REIT’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Sellers will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each Company to perform its material obligations under all Leases, Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect it or the Property or the Lansbrook Interests. Sellers will not remove or permit the removal of any Personal Property except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and repair and replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal. Sellers and their respective employees, agents or contractors, shall not knowingly or intentionally take or permit to be taken any action that causes such Seller’s representations or warranties hereunder to become materially untrue or that causes one or more of REIT’s conditions to Closing to be unsatisfied or knowingly or intentionally fail to take any action within its actual control that is required to cause such Seller’s representations and warranties hereunder to be true in all material respects.

(b) New Contracts and Exclusivity. Sellers shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally cause or permit any of Companies to, (i) without REIT’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in REIT’s reasonable discretion through to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and in REIT’s sole discretion after the end of the Due Diligence Period), amend, grant concessions or waivers regarding or under, or enter into any material contract or other agreement that will be an obligation affecting any of the Companies or the Property after Closing or binding on any of the Companies after Closing, except Leases or Service Contracts in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices (and consistent with then-current concessions and parameters) and contracts terminable by any of the Companies without penalty on no later than sixty (60) days’ notice, or (ii) list the Lansbrook Interests or the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit, negotiate or accept any offers to sell all or any part of the Lansbrook Interests or the Property or any interest therein or in any of the Subsidiaries. If REIT fails to respond to a request of any Seller for consent required by Section 3.1(b)(i) within five (5) days after REIT’s receipt of such Seller’s written request and all information reasonably required in order to make an informed decision, REIT shall (A) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, be deemed to have consented to Seller taking such proposed action and (B) after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, be deemed to have objected to such proposed action.

(c) Maintenance of Permits and Insurance. Sellers shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause each of the Companies to maintain in existence all licenses, permits and approvals necessary or reasonably appropriate to the ownership, operation or improvement of their own legal status and the Property as well as all insurance currently affecting the Property.

(d) Leasing. Sellers shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally, cause or permit the Companies to enter into any Leases, or grant any lease concessions, incentives or waivers, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices.

(e) Loan Documents. Sellers will use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Companies to timely comply with all of the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents. Except for any amendments expressly contemplated hereby or unless necessary to avoid or cure any default thereunder or unless required by any Lender, Sellers shall not knowingly or intentionally cause or permit any of the Companies to amend or terminate the Loan Documents without REIT’s prior written consent (which may be withheld in REIT’s reasonable discretion prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and in REIT’s sole discretion after the end of the Due Diligence Period).

(f) Property Encumbrances. Except for any liens and security interests securing the Loans or any liens resulting from REIT’s (or REIT’s Representatives’) activities at or on the Property pursuant to this Agreement, Sellers shall not create or acquiesce to the creation of, and shall not knowingly or intentionally permit Lansbrook Titleholder to create or acquiesce to the creation of, any Encumbrances to title with respect to the Property other than the Existing Title Exceptions with respect to the Property, without in each case the prior written consent of REIT, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, but which may be withheld in REIT’s sole discretion following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

(g) Ownership Interests. Sellers shall not, and shall not knowingly or intentionally permit the Companies to, sell, assign, convey, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise Encumber any membership or partnership interest in any of the Companies, other than the assignment of the Lansbrook Interests pursuant to this Agreement. Any such action taken by the Xxxxxxx Entities shall be outside of the scope of this Agreement.

3.2 Damage. Risk of loss up to and including the Closing Date shall be borne by Sellers. Sellers shall promptly give REIT written notice of any damage to the Property, describing such damage, stating whether such damage and loss of rents is covered by insurance and the estimated cost of repairing such damage. In the event of any “Material Damage” (described below) to the Property, REIT may, at its option, by written notice to Sellers given within three (3) Business Days after Sellers have provided the above described notice (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give REIT the full three (3) Business Day period to make its election) to: (i) terminate this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement and receive a credit at Closing for Sellers’ applicable interest of any applicable deductible amount under any insurance policies. If REIT fails to timely make such election, REIT shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement. If the Property is not Materially Damaged, then (x) REIT shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and (y) at Closing, REIT shall receive a credit for Sellers’ applicable interest of any applicable deductible amount under said insurance policies and any uninsured loss. “Material Damage” and “Materially Damaged” means, with respect to the Property, damage which in REIT’s and Sellers’ reasonable estimation (based on a third party report, prepared by a qualified third party, that is mutually acceptable to REIT and Sellers, each acting in its reasonable discretion) exceeds $100,000 to repair. Such third party report shall not be required where it is evident that such damage will not exceed $100,000 to repair.

3.3 Condemnation. In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are threatened in writing or instituted against any portion of the Property by any Governmental Authority having the power of eminent domain, this Agreement shall automatically terminate.

3.4 Certain Tax Matters.

(a) Between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Sellers shall give, subject to the provisions of Section 9.6 below, REIT and REIT’s Representatives full access at their own expense to all books, records and tax returns of or relating to the Lansbrook Interests, whether in possession of Sellers or any of their Affiliates or any third-party professional advisor or representative of Sellers, in order that REIT may have full opportunity to make such investigations as they shall desire to make of the Lansbrook Interests for tax purposes. Sellers shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause all of their respective third-party advisors and representatives, including without limitation accountants and attorneys, to fully cooperate and be available to REIT (at its sole expense) in connection with such investigation.

(b) The Parties will account for the transactions contemplated hereby for all purposes (including GAAP and tax accounting) as a sale by the Sellers of the respective membership interests in BR Lansbrook JV Member set forth herein to the REIT in a taxable transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

ARTICLE 4. CLOSING

4.1 Closing. The Closing shall occur on the Closing Date. The transactions described herein shall be closed by means of concurrent delivery of the documents of title, transfer of interest and the Consideration. Closing shall take place at the offices of Xxxxxx Voekler Xxxxxxxxxx & Xxxxx, PLC, 0000 Xxxx Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, or such place as the Parties hereto may agree upon. If the Closing has not occurred on or before July 31, 2014 (except as such date may be further extended by mutual agreement of the Parties), this Agreement shall expire and terminate with no further action required, subject only to the provisions hereto which expressly survive termination.

4.2 Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Close.

(a) Transaction Conditions.

A. As a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, any notice to the Lender to the conveyance of the Lansbrook Interests as a permitted transfer required under any of the Loan Documents shall have been delivered to Lender in accordance with the applicable Loan Documents, and any terms and conditions imposed by any such Lender in connection with the conveyance shall be satisfactory to the REIT in its sole discretion.

B. As a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, the REIT or REIT Parent (or both) may be obligated to assume personal liability for certain undertakings under the Loan Documents, as reasonably required by Lender as a condition to granting its consent to the proposed transfer. However, none of the REIT or any of its direct or indirect owners or REIT Parent shall be obligated to assume any liabilities directly related to the Lansbrook Interests, and at Closing all of the Lansbrook Interests will be free from third-party loans and security interests, including without limitation any lien arising under the KeyBank Line of Credit, but will remain subject to the Loans and all liens and security interests associated therewith.

C. As a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, as of the Closing Date, there shall not exist any uncured event of default under the Loan Documents and Lansbrook Titleholder shall have paid in full all interest and other amounts (including, without limitation, installments of principal and interest and any applicable fees, charges or penalties) that are then due and payable under the Loan Documents to which it is a party at or prior to Closing.

D. As a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, as of the Closing Date, Sellers shall have agreed to modify the terms and conditions of the BR Lansbrook JV Member’s limited liability company agreement (the “BR Lansbrook JV Member Operating Agreement”) relative to control of the entity to the satisfaction of the REIT in its sole discretion.

The conditions precedent set forth in this Section 4.2(a), are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Transaction Conditions”. If REIT does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Section 2.4, following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Sellers shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to cause the Transaction Conditions to be satisfied and REIT agrees to cooperate in good faith and with reasonable diligence with such efforts. At Closing, REIT shall pay to Sellers (or reimburse Sellers, as applicable, with respect to) (i) any and all payments required to be made to or on behalf of any Lender in order to procure its consent to this transaction and (ii) any and all of the reasonable legal fees of counsel incurred in connection with satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions in Section 4.2(a)(A). REIT shall have the right to participate with Sellers in respect to negotiation with each Lender concerning satisfaction of the Transaction Conditions.

(b) Title. It shall be a condition to REIT’s obligation to close that title to the Property is vested of record in Lansbrook Titleholder on the Closing Date, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and any liens resulting from REIT’s (or REIT’s Representatives’) activities at or on the Property pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) Mutuality of Obligations to Close. The obligation of each Party to consummate the Closing shall be contingent upon the satisfaction of all conditions precedent to such Party’s obligation to close.

(d) Performance Conditions. The obligation of Sellers to consummate the Closing shall be contingent upon the following: (i) the REIT’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except to the extent the inaccuracy of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, without giving effect to any knowledge based qualifications; (ii) as of the Closing Date, the REIT shall have performed its obligations hereunder that are to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date and all deliveries to be made at or prior to the Closing Date (including, without limitation, delivery of the Consideration) shall have been tendered; and (iii) the Closing Date shall be no later than July 31, 2014, unless such date is mutually extended by the Parties. The obligation of REIT to consummate the Closing shall be contingent upon the following: (x) the Sellers’ representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, except to the extent the inaccuracy of which would not have a Material Adverse Effect, without giving effect to any knowledge based qualifications; and (y) as of the Closing Date, Sellers shall have performed their obligations hereunder that are to be performed on or prior to the Closing Date and all deliveries to be made at or prior to the Closing Date shall have been tendered (other than the failure by Sellers to provide or make available any immaterial document or information in accordance with Section 2.2).

(e) Other Mutual Conditions. The obligation of the Sellers, on the one hand, and the REIT, on the other hand, to consummate the Closing shall be contingent upon the following: (i) there shall exist no actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings pending against any other Party that would have Material Adverse Effect on the operation or value of the Property (or with respect to REIT’s obligation to close, any of the Companies) or the other Party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) all other conditions set forth in this Agreement to the other Party’s obligation to close shall have been satisfied or waived in writing by such other Party.

(f) Uncured Violations. As a condition to REIT’s obligation to close, there shall be no notice issued after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period of any material violation or alleged material violation of any applicable Law, with respect to the Property or any of the Companies, which has not been corrected to the reasonable satisfaction of REIT.

(g) Failure of Condition. So long as a Party is not in default hereunder beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, if any condition to such Party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing set forth in this Agreement has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date (as it may have been mutually extended by the Parties), such Party may, in its sole discretion, (i) terminate this Agreement in whole by delivering written notice to the other Party on or before the Closing Date, or (ii) elect on or before the Closing Date to effect the Closing, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event such Party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition. Any failure of a Party to make an election on or before the Closing Date under clauses (i) or (ii) above, shall be deemed an election under clause (i) above.

4.3 Sellers’ Deliveries. On or before the Closing Date, the Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered directly to REIT the following, each such document being duly executed and, where appropriate, in recordable form and notarized:

(a) Assignment of Interest. Two counterparts of an assignment of the SOIF II Lansbrook Interest and the SOIF III Lansbrook Interest in form reasonably satisfactory to REIT, executed by the Sellers and BR Lansbrook JV Member, which assignment shall include, but not be limited to, all ownership and possession of and all voting rights and interests in the capital, profits and losses of the Lansbrook Interests plus any property distributable therefrom (the “Assignment of Interests”);

8.1 Indemnification of REIT by SOIF II. SOIF II shall indemnify, defend and hold REIT, REIT Parent, their successors, assigns and Affiliates, including but not limited to BRG Lansbrook (each a “REIT Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “REIT Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage that is: (a) suffered by, or asserted by any third party against, a REIT Indemnified Party arising from any act or omission of SOIF II, its agents, employees or contractors or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of the SOIF II Lansbrook Interest first arising or occurring prior to the Closing; (b) arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of SOIF II’s representations and warranties set forth herein; or (c) except as provided in Article 7, arising out of any failure by SOIF II to perform any covenant or obligation set out in this Agreement.

8.2 Limitation on SOIF II’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, (a) SOIF II shall not have any indemnification obligations for claims under Section 8.1 unless and until the aggregate amount of such claims exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Consideration paid to SOIF II hereunder (provided that, once the amount of such claims exceeds such threshold, SOIF II shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages) and (b) in no event shall SOIF II’s aggregate liability for claims under Section 8.1 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the Consideration paid to SOIF II hereunder; provided, however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.2 shall not apply to any loss or liability arising from any breach of any of SOIF II’s Title and Authority Warranties, SOIF II’s intentional misconduct or fraudulent conduct or to SOIF II’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section 5.2, which liability and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7, the provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of REIT with respect to matters which are subject to indemnification by SOIF II under Section 8.1 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being hereby waived.

8.3 Indemnification of REIT by SOIF III. SOIF III shall indemnify, defend and hold the REIT Indemnified Parties harmless from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage that is: (a) suffered by, or asserted by any third party against, any REIT Indemnified Party arising from any act or omission of SOIF III, its agents, employees or contractors or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of the SOIF III Lansbrook Interest first arising or occurring prior to the Closing; (b) arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of SOIF III’s representations and warranties set forth herein; or (c) except as provided in Article 7, arising out of any failure by SOIF III to perform any covenant or obligation set out in this Agreement.

8.4 Limitation on SOIF III’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, (a) SOIF III shall not have any indemnification obligations for claims under Section 8.3 unless and until the aggregate amount of such claims exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Consideration paid to SOIF III hereunder (provided that, once the amount of such claims exceeds such threshold, SOIF III shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages) and (b) in no event shall SOIF III’s aggregate liability for claims under Section 8.3 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the Consideration paid to SOIF III hereunder; provided, however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.4 shall not apply to any loss or liability arising from any breach of any of SOIF III’s Title and Authority Warranties, SOIF III’s intentional misconduct or fraudulent conduct or to SOIF III’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section 5.2, which liability and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7, the provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of REIT with respect to matters which are subject to indemnification by SOIF III under Section 8.3 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being hereby waived.

8.5 Pledge Agreement.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, the SOIF Parties shall each execute and deliver a pledge agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, pursuant to which each SOIF Party’s indemnity obligations contained in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 hereof shall be secured by a pledge of the cash equal to 10% of the consideration paid to each such SOIF Party hereunder, and which pledge will be in full satisfaction of any indemnification obligations of each respective SOIF Party contained in Section 8.1 and Section 8.3 hereof (each, a “Pledge Agreement,” and collectively, the “Pledge Agreements”).

(b) Each of the REIT Indemnified Parties by accepting the benefits of this Agreement hereby designates and appoints REIT as its agent under the Pledge Agreement, and hereby irrevocably authorizes REIT to take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the provisions of the Pledge Agreement and to exercise such powers as are set forth therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. REIT is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or waive any provisions of the Pledge Agreement on behalf of the REIT Indemnified Parties. REIT agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Section 8.5. The provisions of this Section 8.5 are solely for the benefit of REIT and the REIT Indemnified Parties, and the SOIF Parties shall have no obligations under or rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under the Pledge Agreement, REIT shall act solely as an administrative representative of the REIT Indemnified Parties and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the REIT Indemnified Parties, by or through its agents or employees.

(c) REIT shall have no duties, obligations or responsibilities to the REIT Indemnified Parties except those expressly set forth in this Section 8.5 or in the Pledge Agreements. Neither REIT nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any REIT Indemnified Party for any action taken or omitted by them under this Section 8.5 or under the Pledge Agreements, or in connection with this Section 8.5 or the Pledge Agreements, except that REIT shall be obligated on the terms set forth in this Section 8.5 for performance of its express obligations under the Pledge Agreements. In performing its functions and duties under the Pledge Agreements, REIT shall exercise the same care which it would exercise in dealing with a security interest in collateral held for its own account, but REIT shall not be responsible to any REIT Indemnified Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties in the Pledge Agreements or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreements or the collateral or the transactions contemplated thereby. REIT shall not be required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Pledge Agreements.

(d) REIT shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Section 8.5 and the Pledge Agreements and its duties under this Section 8.5 or the Pledge Agreements, upon advice of counsel selected by it. REIT shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by REIT in its sole discretion.

8.6 Indemnification of the SOIF Parties by REIT. REIT and BRG Lansbrook shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend and hold the SOIF Parties, their successors, assigns and Affiliates (each a “SOIF Indemnified Party,” and collectively, the “SOIF Indemnified Parties”) harmless from any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage that is: (a) suffered by, or asserted by any third party against, a SOIF Indemnified Party arising from any act or omission of the REIT, its assigns (including, but not limited to, BRG Lansbrook), its agents, employees or contractors or REIT Parent or otherwise arising out of the ownership or operation of the Lansbrook Interests first arising from and after the Closing; (b) arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of any of the REIT’s representations and warranties set forth herein; or (c) except as provided in Article 7, arising out of any failure by REIT to perform any covenant or obligation set out in this Agreement.

8.7 Limitation on REIT’s Liability. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 8 to the contrary, (a) neither REIT nor BRG Lansbrook shall have any indemnification obligations for claims under Section 8.6 unless and until the aggregate amount of such claims exceeds the lesser of $50,000 or one percent (1%) of the Consideration (provided that, once the amount of such claims exceeds such threshold, REIT shall pay damages from the first dollar of damages), and (b) in no event shall the collective aggregate liability for claims under Section 8.6 of this Agreement exceed ten percent (10%) of the Consideration; provided, however, that the limitations on liability set forth in this Section 8.7 shall not apply to any loss or liability arising from any breach of any of REIT’s Title and Authority Warranties, REIT’s intentional misconduct or fraudulent conduct or to REIT’s obligations with respect to sales commissions and brokerage fees under Section 5.2, which liability and obligations shall not be credited against the foregoing cap. Except as provided in Article 7, the provisions of this Article 8 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the SOIF Parties with respect to matters which are subject to indemnification by REIT and BRG Lansbrook under Section 8.6 of this Agreement, all other remedies with respect to such matters being hereby waived.

8.8 REIT Parent Guaranty Joinder. The SOIF Parties have advised the REIT and REIT Parent that, in connection with the transaction identified herein, the Loan Documents governing Lansbrook Titleholder’s Loan shall require that REIT Parent deliver to Lender an instrument (“Joinder”) pursuant to which REIT Parent shall guaranty payment and performance of the Loan. Delivery by REIT Parent to Lender of the executed Joinder at Closing shall be a condition precedent to the SOIF Parties’ obligations hereunder.

8.9 Survival. The provisions of this Article 8 shall survive the Closing; provided that claims under clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.1, clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.3 or clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.6, shall be subject to the time limitations set forth in Section 6.8. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that, notwithstanding that claims under clause (a) of Section 8.1, clause (a) of Section 8.3 or clause (a) of Section 8.6 may not arise out of a breach or inaccuracy of the indemnifying party’s representations or warranties, such claims are nonetheless subject to the Limitation Period. Any claim for indemnification under Section 8.1(a) or (b), Section 8.3(a) or (b) or Section 8.6(a) or (b) not made on or prior to the expiration of the Limitation Period set forth in Section 6.8 shall be irrevocably and unconditionally waived and released.

Capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, dated effective as of May 15, 2014, by and between the Pledgee, the Pledgor and SOIF III (the “Membership Interest Purchase Agreement”), the Pledgor is contributing the SOIF II Lansbrook Interest to the Pledgee in exchange for cash;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, the Pledgor has agreed to indemnify the Pledgee, its successors, assigns and Affiliates, including, but not limited to, BRG Lansbrook (each, an “Indemnified Party” and, together, the “Indemnified Parties”), for certain losses described in Section 8.1 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (but subject to the limitations expressed in Section 8.2 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement) (the “Losses”) and asserted during the Survival Period (as hereinafter defined). The Pledgor’s obligations (i) so to indemnify the Indemnified Parties for Losses in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and (ii) to perform its obligations hereunder are referred to herein collectively as the “Secured Obligations”; and

WHEREAS, in order to secure the full and timely performance of the Secured Obligations pursuant to the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, the Pledgor has agreed to pledge and grant to the Pledgee, as security for the Secured Obligations, a lien and security interest in, to and under ten percent (10%) of the cash consideration received by Pledgee under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (collectively the “Pledged Interests”), such pledge, lien and security interest to remain in effect during the Pledge Period (as defined below) subject to the terms hereof.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual agreements herein contained, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Grant of Security Interest. As collateral security for the payment, performance and observance of the Secured Obligations, now existing or hereafter arising, absolute or contingent, the Pledgor pledges to the Pledgee, for its own benefit and for the benefit of each Indemnified Party subject to the limitations set forth herein, and grants to the Pledgee, for its own benefit and the benefit of each Indemnified Party subject to the limitations set forth herein, a security interest in the following property (collectively, the “Collateral”):

(a) the Pledged Interests;

(b) any equity securities of the Pledgee (“Additional Interests”) and/or obligations of the Pledgee in respect of the Pledged Interests that may hereafter be acquired by the Pledgor during the Pledge Period and, if any, the certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing the same;

(c) all rights of Pledgor in and to all distributions in kind declared in respect of any or all of the foregoing during the Pledge Period;

(d) any cash received by Pledgee pursuant to Section 8 below during the Pledge Period;

(e) any cash or cash equivalent (the “Cash Collateral”) substituted by Pledgor for the Pledged Interests and/or the Additional Interests (or any portion thereof) pursuant to the terms hereof; and

(f) all proceeds and profits of any or all of the foregoing.

Pledgor and Pledgee do hereby acknowledge and agree that Pledgor shall be entitled, at any time during the Pledge Period, to substitute Cash Collateral for all or any portion of the Pledged Interests and/or the Additional Interests. Any Cash Collateral shall be held in a segregated account in the name of both Pledgor and Pledgee (at an institution designated by Pledgee) and shall be released from such account only upon instructions given by Pledgor and Pledgee, which instructions shall conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

2. Delivery of Certificates and Instruments. The Pledgor shall deliver to the Pledgee: (a) the original certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests, if any, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and (b) the original certificates or other instruments or documents evidencing all other Collateral (except for Collateral that this Agreement specifically permits the Pledgor to retain) within ten (10) days after Pledgor’s receipt thereof. All Collateral that is certificated securities shall be in bearer form or, if in registered form, shall be reflected as being subject to this Agreement on the books of the transfer agent.

3. Pledgor Remain Liable. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (a) the Pledgor shall remain obligated, to the extent set forth in the agreements (including, without limitation, the Pledgee’s Charter Documents) under which it has received, or has rights or obligations in respect of its ownership of, any shares of the REIT Parent (“REIT Shares”) (“Related Agreements”) to perform its duties and obligations thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed; (b) the exercise by the Pledgee of any of its rights hereunder shall not release the Pledgor from any of its duties or obligations under the Related Agreements, except to the extent that such duties and obligations may have been terminated by reason of a sale, transfer or other disposition of the Collateral pursuant hereto; and (c) the Pledgee shall not by reason of this Agreement have any obligations or liabilities under the Related Agreements (beyond those imposed directly on the Pledgee by the express terms therein), nor shall the Pledgee be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of the Pledgor under the Related Agreements or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

If any Claim (as defined below) remains unresolved thirty (30) days after the date of issuance of the applicable Claim Notice (as defined below), and provided Pledgee has notified Pledgor in writing of its intention to take any of the actions specified in this Section 5 and further provided Pledgor has not within three (3) business days from receipt of such written notification substituted Cash Collateral in the amount of such Outstanding Claim (as defined below) for all (or an applicable portion) of the Pledged Interests (and/or the Additional Interests), then Pledgee may cause all or any of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its name or the name of its nominee or nominees. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Pledgee shall not be entitled to take any action under this Agreement with respect to the Pledged Interests (or the Additional Interests) that is prohibited by the terms, or would cause a breach or violation, any Lock-Up Agreement or Registration Rights Agreement to which Pledgor and Pledgee (or REIT Parent) are parties.

6. Claims; Value of Collateral.

(a) Any claims by an Indemnified Party for indemnification under the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement shall be made in accordance with Section 8.1 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement. On or prior to the first (1st) anniversary of the Closing (the “Survival Period”), an Indemnified Party may give written notice (each a “Claim Notice”) to the Pledgor of any Loss that is subject to indemnification under Section 8.1 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (each a “Claim”). Pledgor and Pledgee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any Claim within thirty (30) days of issuance of the applicable Claim Notice. Any Claim that has not been resolved to the mutual satisfaction of Pledgor and Pledgee shall be referred to hereunder as an “Outstanding Claim”. The amount required to satisfy any Claim shall be disclosed in the Claims Notice, as estimated by the Independent Directors (as defined below) in their reasonable discretion, and same shall be binding on Pledgor unless manifestly erroneous (such amount(s) being referred to, individually and collectively, as the “Estimated Claims Amount”).

(b) The value of Collateral (the “Value”) shall be determined as follows: (i) with respect to Collateral consisting of the REIT Shares, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the aggregate monetary value of the REIT Shares (determined by the share price on the Closing Date); (ii) for all other non-cash (or non-cash equivalent) Collateral, the fair market value of such Collateral as determined by the independent directors of the REIT Parent who meet the New York Stock Exchange standards of independence for directors, as determined by the board of directors of the REIT Parent (the “Independent Directors”).

7. Voting Rights and Certain Payments Prior to Occurrence of Secured Obligations and Other Events.

(a) Unless and until a Claim Notice has been properly issued, the Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise, in its sole discretion but not inconsistent with the terms hereof, the voting power with respect to any such Collateral, and for that purpose the Pledgee shall (if such Collateral shall be registered in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee in strict compliance with the terms hereof) execute, or cause to be executed, from time to time such proxies or other instruments in favor of the Pledgor or its nominee in such form and for such purposes as shall be reasonably required and specified in writing by the Pledgor, to enable the Pledgor to exercise such voting power with respect to such Collateral. If a Claim Notice has been properly issued by Pledgee, then the rights granted under this Paragraph 7(a) shall be exercisable by Pledgee, rather than Pledgor, with respect to Collateral having a Value equal to the Estimated Claims Amount (the “Claims Pending Collateral”), with Pledgor retaining the rights granted hereunder relating to all other Collateral.

(b) Unless and until a Claim Notice has been properly issued, the Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain for its own account any and all regular cash distributions (but not distributions in the form of Additional Interests or other securities, distributions in kind or liquidating distributions, all of which shall be delivered and applied in accordance with Section 8 hereof) and interest at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue of this Agreement. Any of such regular cash distributions or interest paid while any Outstanding Claim exists shall be deemed part of the Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Collateral.

8. Extraordinary Payments and Distributions. In case, upon the dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of the Pledgee, any sum shall be paid as a liquidating distribution or otherwise upon or with respect to any of the Collateral during the Pledge Period, such sum shall be paid over to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof. Any such payment made following the expiration of the Pledge Period shall belong solely to the Pledgor, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent any Retained Collateral remains held by Pledgee, in which case any such payment applicable to such Retained Collateral shall be deemed part of such Retained Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Retained Collateral. In case, during the Pledge Period, any distribution of Additional Interests shall be made with respect to the Collateral, or Additional Interests or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to any split involving any of the Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on any of the Collateral, or any shares, obligations or other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Collateral pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the Pledgee, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or in part), bankruptcy or reorganization of the Pledgee, or pursuant to the merger or consolidation of the Pledgee with or into another entity, the shares, obligations or other property so distributed shall be delivered to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder, and all of the same shall constitute Collateral for all purposes hereof. Any such distribution made following the expiration of the Pledge Period shall belong solely to the Pledgor, and the Pledgee shall have no rights in or to same by virtue of this Agreement, except to the extent any Retained Collateral remains held by Pledgee, in which case any such distribution applicable to such Retained Collateral shall be deemed part of such Retained Collateral under this Agreement and thereafter subject to the terms hereof relating to such Retained Collateral.

9. Pledgor Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of the Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be impaired by:

(a) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of the Pledgor;

(b) any amendments to or modifications of any instrument (other than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations provided that the Pledgor has consented to same (such consent not to be unreasonably conditioned, delayed or denied);

(c) the taking of additional security for, or any guaranty of, any of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination of any security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations; or

(d) the lack of enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations against the Pledgor or any other person, whether or not the Pledgor shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.

10. Voting Rights and Certain Payments After Occurrence of Claim Notice and Certain Other Events.

(a) From and after the issuance of any Claim Notice, all rights of the Pledgor to exercise, or refrain from exercising, all voting power with respect to, and to otherwise exercise all ownership rights arising from, the Claims Pending Collateral shall cease, and thereupon the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with respect to such Claims Pending Collateral and otherwise exercise such ownership rights as though the Pledgee were the outright owner of such Claims Pending Collateral (Pledgor shall retain such voting power with respect to all other Collateral). If the Independent Directors reasonably determine that the Estimated Claims Amount equals or exceeds the Value of the Collateral then available to satisfy such Outstanding Claims, then the Pledgor shall no longer be the owner of such Collateral for tax purposes and all rights of the Pledgor to receive and retain the distributions and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall cease, and thereupon the Pledgee shall be entitled to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any and all distributions and interest at any time and from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral, provided that, concurrent with making such determination, the Pledgee gives notice thereof to the Pledgor.

(b) All payments, distributions or other property or assets that are received by the Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section 10 shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated from other funds of the Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee.

11. Application of Cash Collateral. Any cash received and retained by the Pledgee as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof may at any time and from time to time be applied (in whole or in part) by the Pledgee, at its option, in strict accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, to the payment of the Secured Obligations which such Collateral secures (in the order described in paragraph 12 below), but only if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder.

12. Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any cash received and retained pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall be applied by the Pledgee: first to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations, but only if and to the extent any such payment is required hereunder; and then, to the payment to the Pledgor, or its successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining.

13. Remedies With Respect to the Collateral.

(a) If any Claim remains unresolved thirty (30) days after the date of receipt of the applicable Claim Notice, then Pledgee, without obligation to resort to other security, shall have the right at any time and from time to time thereafter to apply, after three (3) business days’ prior written notice to Pledgor (each an “Application Notice”), Collateral with a Value equal to the Estimated Claims Amount, in one or more parcels at the same or different times, and to receive all right, title and interest, claim and demand therein and right of redemption thereof, same to be applied by Pledgee to payment of such Outstanding Claims.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, the sole recourse of the Pledgee against the Pledgor for the Secured Obligations is limited to the rights of the Pledgor in any Collateral that is applied by the Pledgee in strict accordance with the terms and conditions hereof to satisfy such Secured Obligations.

(c) No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby expressly waived, shall be required in connection with any transfer of Collateral to the Pledgee in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 13(b) above, the remedies provided herein in favor of the Pledgee relating to the Collateral shall not be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all other remedies in favor of the Pledgee relating to the Collateral existing at law or in equity.

14. Care of Collateral. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or as to the preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any thereof actually in its possession. With respect to any maturities, calls, conversions, exchanges, redemptions, offers, tenders or similar matters relating to any of the Collateral (herein called “events”), the Pledgee’s duty shall be fully satisfied if (i) the Pledgee exercises reasonable care to ascertain the occurrence and to give reasonable written notice to the Pledgor of any events applicable to any Collateral which are registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee, (ii) the Pledgee gives the Pledgor reasonable written notice of the occurrence of any events, of which the Pledgee has actual knowledge, as to any securities which are in bearer form or are not registered and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee (the Pledgor agreeing to give the Pledgee reasonable written notice of the occurrence of any events applicable to any securities Collateral in the possession of the Pledgor of which the Pledgor has received knowledge), and (iii) (a) the Pledgee endeavors to take such action with respect to any of the events as the Pledgor may reasonably and specifically request in writing in sufficient time for such action to be evaluated and taken or (b) if the Pledgee reasonably determines that the action requested might adversely affect the value of the Collateral, the collection of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise prejudice the interests of the Pledgee, the Pledgee gives reasonable written notice to the Pledgor that any such requested action will not be taken and if the Pledgee makes such determination or if the Pledgor fails to make such timely request, the Pledgee takes such other action as it deems advisable in the circumstances. Except as hereinabove specifically set forth, the Pledgee shall have no further obligation, under this Agreement only, to ascertain the occurrence of, or to notify the Pledgor with respect to, any events and shall not be deemed to assume any such further obligation as a result of the establishment by the Pledgee of any internal procedures with respect to any Collateral in its possession.

15. Power of Attorney. The Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee to act during the Pledge Period (and, if and to the extent applicable, any Extended Pledge Period) as the Pledgor’s attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument that the Pledgee reasonably may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, provided that Pledgee has given Pledgor prior reasonable written notice of Pledgee’s intention to exercise such attorney-in-fact rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, at any time while an Outstanding Claim exists, the Pledgee shall have the right and power (a) with respect to any Claims Pending Collateral to satisfy a Secured Obligation in strict accordance with the terms and conditions herein, to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the payment of money made payable to the Pledgor representing any interest or other distribution payable in respect of such Claims Pending Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same, and (b) to execute endorsements, assignments or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the Claims Pending Collateral; provided, that the Pledgee shall provide reasonable written notice to the Pledgor prior to taking any such action under the foregoing clauses (a) and (b). For purposes of this Section 15 and Section 14 above, “reasonable written notice” shall mean written notice given within five (5) days of the occurrence of the event, issue or at least five (5) days prior to the date on which such requisite action will be taken.

16. Further Assurances. The Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, upon reasonable request of the Pledgee, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, to the Pledgee such further instruments and documents and take and cause to be taken such further actions as may be necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee to carry out more effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement; provided that none of the same will materially affect Pledgor’s or Pledgee’s rights hereunder or materially increase their obligations hereunder.

17. No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising, any of its options, powers, rights or remedies hereunder during the Pledge Period, or partial or single exercise thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other option, power, right or remedy during the Pledge Period.

18. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder, grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, (b) any change in any term of all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement or any other agreement or instrument or (c) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement.

19. Expenses. Pledgor agrees to pay the Pledgee all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Pledgee (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any provisions of this Agreement. Pledgee agrees to pay the Pledgor all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Pledgor (including reasonable expenses for legal services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any obligations of Pledgee hereunder.

20. End of Pledge Period; Return of Collateral.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, the “Pledge Period” means the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the six (6) month anniversary of the date hereof; provided, that, if there are any Outstanding Claims at the time of termination of the Pledge Period, the Pledgee shall have the right to retain, pending resolution of such Outstanding Claim(s) pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, and at all times subject to the terms hereof, Collateral equal in Value to the Estimated Claims Amount (“Retained Collateral”). Solely with respect to such Retained Collateral, the Pledge Period shall be deemed to continue (an “Extended Pledge Period”) until the earlier to occur of (i) the ten (10) month anniversary of the date hereof or (ii) the resolution pursuant to Section 8.1 of the Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, of the Outstanding Claim(s) to which such Retained Collateral relates; provided, however, if any Outstanding Claims remain in existence on the ten (10) month anniversary of the date hereof, then Pledgor shall be required to deliver Replacement Collateral (as defined below) to Pledgee before the Extended Pledge Period may end. Following the expiration of the Pledge Period, the Pledgor shall be required to maintain for the balance of the Survival Period a minimum net worth of not less than $10,000,000.00.

(b) Upon the termination of the Pledge Period (or the Extended Pledge Period, if and to the extent applicable), the Pledgor shall be entitled to, and the Pledgee promptly shall effect, the return to the Pledgor of all of the Collateral (and all other cash or other items held as additional Collateral hereunder) that has not been used or applied toward the payment of the Secured Obligations in strict accordance with the terms hereof (it being understood, for the sake of clarity, that Collateral not so used or applied shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the last day of the Pledge Period, except for any Retained Collateral, which shall become subject to the foregoing return obligation on and as of the date determined in accordance with Section 20(a) above). The Pledgee shall take all necessary actions to effect and evidence the return of Collateral under this Section 20, including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to, and the return to the Pledgor of certificates, if any, representing the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) comprising, such Collateral.

(c) The assignment by the Pledgee to the Pledgor of such Collateral shall be without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 4(b) above. Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights or remedies available to it at law or in equity concerning Pledgee’s performance of its obligations hereunder (or any breach of the representations or warranties made by Pledgee hereunder).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Pledgor shall have the right to substitute Cash Collateral for (i) any Pledged Interests or Additional Interests that are subject to application by Pledgee following issuance of an Application Notice or (ii) any Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) constituting Retained Collateral (“Replacement Collateral”) by depositing such Replacement Collateral with the Pledgee (same to be held subject to the Cash Collateral provisions set forth in Section 1 and elsewhere herein) and instructing the Pledgee to release the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) for which they are substituted; provided, that as of the date of such substitution, the Value of the Replacement Collateral shall be equal to or greater than the Estimated Claims Amount. Upon replacement of the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) with Replacement Collateral meeting the requirements stated above, the Pledgee’s security interest in the replaced Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests) shall terminate and be released and the Pledgee shall take all necessary actions to effect and evidence the return of the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests), including, without limitation, the filing of UCC termination statements with respect to such Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests), and the prompt delivery of the original certifications, if any, or other instruments or documents evidencing the Pledged Interests (or Additional Interests). The continuing lien and perfected security interest granted by the Pledgor to the Pledgee shall automatically apply and attach to and be granted with respect to the Replacement Collateral and Pledgor shall execute and deliver to the Pledgee such documents and take such actions as the Pledgee reasonably deems necessary to perfect and protect the Pledgee’s security interests in and to the Replacement Collateral.
