(c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.3(a): (i) At any time and from time to time from and after the Effective Date until the Closing, Buyer shall have the option (in lieu of the Cash Deposit pursuant to Section 2.3(a)) to deliver to Seller an “evergreen” letter of credit that is: (A) issued by a bank (the “Issuing Bank”) that is either (x) any of TD Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., The Northern Trust Company or Wells Fargo Bank, NA (or their respective successor banks) (any such bank, a “Pre-Approved Issuing Bank”) or (y) an owner bank of The Clearing House Payments Company (f/k/a The New York Clearing House Association and a/k/a The Clearing House) that, if not one of the Pre-Approved Issuing Banks, has a credit rating for its long-term unsecured debt that is “A+” (or better) from Standard & Poor’s and either “A1” (or better) from Moody’s Ratings or “A+” (or better) from Fitch Ratings (any such bank, an “Other Issuing Bank”); provided that, as of the issuance of the Letter of Credit, none of the circumstances described in Section 2.3(c)(vi) shall have occurred or be continuing with respect to the proposed Issuing Bank (whether such proposed Issuing Bank is a Pre- Approved Issuing Bank or an Other Issuing Bank); (B) in an amount (determined as of the date of the delivery to Seller of such letter of credit) equal to the sum of (x) the Base Deposit Amount plus (y) an amount calculated as: (1) the Base Deposit Amount multiplied by the Deposit Interest Rate (determined as of such date of delivery), divided by (2) three hundred and sixty-five (365), multiplied by (3) the number of days in the period from (and including) the Effective Date to (but not including) the earlier of (x) the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day after the then-applicable Outside Property Readiness Date and (y) the then-applicable Scheduled Closing Date (if any); and (C) in all material respects in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H (or in such other form, having all of the substantive provisions of the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, to which Seller shall agree in Seller’s reasonable discretion);


 
-14- (D) A letter of credit satisfying all of the requirements of this Section 2.3(c)(i) is referred to herein as a “Letter of Credit.” If Buyer shall deliver to Seller a Letter of Credit at any time when Escrow Agent is holding the Cash Deposit, then (1) Buyer shall notify Escrow Agent of such delivery and give a written demand to Escrow Agent to return the then-existing Cash Deposit to Buyer and (2) Escrow Agent is hereby irrevocably instructed by Buyer and Seller to return such then-existing Cash Deposit to Buyer as promptly as practicable (and the parties shall cooperate, as reasonably requested, to provide such written confirmation of such authorization and/or evidence of having no objection to such return, as Escrow Agent shall require). (ii) If, at the Closing, the Deposit is being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, then, upon the consummation of the Closing, Seller shall return the Letter of Credit to Buyer. (iii) If, at any time (other than at the Closing) when this Agreement provides for the disbursement of the Deposit, the Deposit is being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, then at such time the Letter of Credit and the proceeds thereof shall be governed by the applicable terms of Article XIII or as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. (iv) Whenever this Agreement provides for the return of the Letter of Credit to Buyer, Seller shall cooperate as reasonably requested in connection with the termination of the Letter of Credit, including by executing and delivering any and all documents that are required, or are reasonably desirable, to authorize such termination, provided that the same shall not impose any cost or liability on Seller (other than to a de minimis degree, with it being agreed that any attorney’s fees or disbursements incurred by Seller in the ordinary course shall be deemed de minimis). This Section 2.3(c)(iv), and all references in this Agreement to Seller’s obligation to return the Letter of Credit to Buyer, shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. (v) If, at any time when the Deposit is being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank gives notice to Seller of the non-renewal of such Letter of Credit and Buyer does not replace such Letter of Credit with a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3(c)(i) (or, alternatively, deliver to Escrow Agent a Cash Deposit in the amount of the Required Deposit Amount (determined as of the date of such delivery), to be deposited in an Agreed Investment Account pursuant to this Section 2.3) at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to its termination or expiration, then Seller shall have the right to draw on the Letter of Credit, provided that Seller shall cause all of the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to be forwarded to Escrow Agent as promptly as practicable after receipt of such proceeds. Escrow Agent shall thereafter hold the same in escrow as the Cash Deposit pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14.4 of this Agreement, until such time (if any) as Buyer again exercises its option to post the Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3(c)(i). (vi) If, at any time when the Deposit is being held in the form of a


 
-15- Letter of Credit, Seller reasonably believes that circumstances have occurred indicating that (1) the Issuing Bank may become incapable of, unable to or prohibited from honoring the Letter of Credit or (2) by reason of a legal impediment (not caused by a wrongful action or wrongful omission of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates), Seller may become incapable of, unable to or prohibited from drawing on the Letter of Credit (it being understood and agreed that the grounds for such reasonable belief shall include (A) if the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any successor thereto shall issue a declaration, warning or like statement that the Issuing Bank is insolvent, is not capable of honoring its obligations or is undercapitalized, (B) if the Issuing Bank is in receivership, is controlled by the government, or is the subject of a closure, merger, consolidation or nationalization, (C) if the credit rating of the long-term unsecured debt of the Issuing Bank is downgraded to less than “A” by Standard & Poor’s or Fitch Ratings or to less than “A2” by Moody’s Ratings (but if the Issuing Bank is TD Bank, N.A. the foregoing reference to “A2” shall be deemed to be “A3”) or (D) if the Issuing Bank shall appear on any reputable problem list or watch list), then Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof and if Buyer shall fail to replace the Letter of Credit with a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3(c)(i) (or, alternatively, deliver to Escrow Agent a Cash Deposit in the amount of the Required Deposit Amount (determined as of the date of such delivery), to be deposited in an Agreed Investment Account pursuant to this Section 2.3) within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such written notice, then, without limiting Buyer’s obligations under Section 2.3(c)(vii), (viii) or (ix), Seller may draw on the Letter of Credit, provided that Seller shall cause the proceeds of the Letter of Credit to be forwarded to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall thereafter hold the same in escrow as the Cash Deposit pursuant to and in accordance with Section 14.4 of this Agreement, until such time (if any) as Buyer again exercises its option to post the Deposit in the form of a Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3(c)(i). (vii) If, at any time when the Deposit is being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, Buyer replaces such Letter of Credit with either another Letter of Credit satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3(c)(i) or with a Cash Deposit in the amount of the Required Deposit Amount (determined as of the date of such delivery), then Seller, within five (5) Business Days after notice from Buyer, shall return such replaced Letter of Credit to Buyer. (viii) If, at any time when the Deposit is being held in the form of Letter of Credit, (A) either the Issuing Bank has become incapable of, unable to or prohibited from honoring the Letter of Credit or by reason of a legal impediment (not caused by a wrongful action or wrongful omission of Seller or any of Seller’s Affiliates), Seller is incapable of, unable to or prohibited from drawing on the Letter of Credit (assuming for purposes of this clause (viii) with respect to Seller that it is then entitled to receive the Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), including by reason of any of the circumstances described in clause (A) or (B) of Section 2.3(c)(vi) or by reason of the Letter of Credit having expired, or (B) because of a postponement of the Outside Property Readiness Date or the Scheduled Closing Date, the face amount of the Letter of Credit is at least ten percent (10%) less than the amount that would be required under Section 2.3(c)(i)(B) if calculated using such postponed date, then Buyer, on fifteen (15)


 
-16- Business Days’ notice from Seller (which notice shall include at the top thereof a legend in bold face type stating that Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section could result in a termination of this Agreement), shall deliver either a Letter of Credit (or, with respect to an instance described in the immediately preceding clause (B), an amendment of the then-outstanding Letter of Credit) satisfying the requirements of Section 2.3(c) to Seller or a Cash Deposit in the amount of the Required Deposit Amount (determined as of the date of such delivery) to Escrow Agent. If Buyer fails to comply with its obligation under this Section 2.3(c)(viii), Seller may deliver a second notice to Buyer under this Section 2.3(c)(viii) (which notice shall include at the top thereof a legend in bold face type stating that Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section could result in a termination of this Agreement), and if Buyer’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Section 2.3(c)(viii) continues for ten (10) Business Days after such second notice, Seller may terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 13.1(a)(iv). (ix) If, at any time when the Deposit is being held in the form of Letter of Credit, (A) Seller is entitled to receive and retain (i.e., not forward to the Escrow Agent) the Required Deposit Amount pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (B) the Issuing Bank fails for any reason whatsoever (notwithstanding Seller’s draw request in accordance with the terms of the Letter of Credit) to honor the Letter of Credit, or Seller is unable to draw under the Letter of Credit for the Required Deposit Amount, then Buyer shall be liable to Seller for the amount of the Required Deposit Amount (or so much thereof as was not paid by the Issuing Bank to Seller), it being agreed that the Letter of Credit is intended to secure (and not replace) Buyer’s agreement to pay the Required Deposit Amount to Seller in the circumstances in which Seller is entitled to the same hereunder. Upon Seller’s receipt of the Required Deposit Amount, Seller shall return the Letter of Credit to Buyer. Section 2.4 The Closing. (a) The closing of the sale and purchase of the Property (the “Closing”) shall take place on the day (such day, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with Section 2.4(b), Section 2.4(f) or any other express provision of this Agreement, the “Scheduled Closing Date”) that is the thirtieth (30th) day following the later of (A) the date of Completion of the Bridge Demo Work and (B) the date that the entirety of the Property shall be vacant and free of all tenancies and occupancies (other than pursuant to the Buyer License Agreement and the parking agreement that is the subject of the Parking Agreement Amendment) (the later of (A) and (B), subject to Section 2.4(c) and Section 2.4(e), the “Property Readiness Date”). Time shall be of the essence with respect to Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations hereunder to close the purchase and sale of the Property on the Scheduled Closing Date. (b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary: (1) if the Scheduled Closing Date is a Friday, then the Scheduled Closing Date shall be postponed to the following Business Day;


 
-17- (2) if (for any reason) the Property Readiness Date shall not have occurred by the Outside Property Readiness Date, then (subject to clause (3) of this Section 2.4(b) and the final sentence of Section 3.4(c)) Buyer shall have the right (in Buyer’s sole discretion, by written notice to Seller): (x) to terminate this Agreement (in which case the provisions of Section 13.2(b)(i) shall apply); (y) to pursue the Completion of the Bridge Demo Work (as more particularly set forth in Section 3.4(d), either with or without waiving the condition in Section 5.2(b) (as so elected by Buyer)); or (z) to postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date one or more times by a period of not less than ninety (90) days each and not more than twenty-four (24) months in the aggregate, as elected by Buyer and set forth in such notice (it being agreed that, if Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected under this clause (z) to postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($7,500) for each day after the Outside Property Readiness Date (as in effect immediately prior to Buyer’s election or deemed election to postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date) until the date on which the Property Readiness Date occurs (but with such daily Purchase Price reduction being decreased to Two Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500) during any period after the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Outside Property Readiness Date (as in effect immediately prior to Buyer’s election or deemed election to postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date)), but with a maximum total Purchase Price reduction under this clause (z) of Three Million Six Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars ($3,650,000.00)), it being understood and agreed that Buyer’s failure to give a notice to Seller that Buyer elected one of the options described in clauses (x), (y) and (z) of this clause (2) prior to the day that is ten (10) Business Days after the then- applicable Outside Property Readiness Date shall be deemed an election to proceed under the foregoing clause (z) and postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date by an initial period of twelve (12) months; and (3) if (for any reason), as of the Outside Property Readiness Date, Completion of the Bridge Demo Work has occurred (but Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work has not occurred), then (subject to the final sentence of Section 3.4(c)) (x) Seller shall have the right (upon written notice to Buyer) to postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date one or more times by a period of not less than ninety (90) days each and not more than twelve (12) months in the aggregate, but only for so long as Seller is using commercially reasonable efforts to achieve Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work, and (y) Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed from time to time of the progress of such efforts (it being agreed that if Seller has the right under this clause (3) to


 
-18- postpone the Outside Property Readiness Date and does so, then Buyer shall not have the right to make any of the elections provided for under Section 2.4(b)(2) during the period of any such postponement). The “Outside Property Readiness Date” shall mean October 31, 2028, as the same may be adjusted in accordance with clause (2)(z) and/or clause (3) of this Section 2.4(b) or in accordance with Section 3.4(c). (c) Seller shall endeavor to give Buyer written notice of the occurrence of the Property Readiness Date not later than two (2) Business Days thereafter, and Buyer shall have reasonable walkthrough and inspection rights to confirm such occurrence. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if Seller is delayed in giving such written notice beyond such two (2) Business Day period, then the Property Readiness Date shall be delayed by one (1) day for each day of such delay. (d) Intentionally omitted. (e) Intentionally omitted. (f) If one or more conditions set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2 are not satisfied as of the then-applicable Scheduled Closing Date, then (i) in the case of conditions under Section 5.1, Buyer shall have the right from time to time, by written notice to Seller, to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date (but the maximum period of adjournments by Buyer under this Section 2.4(f) shall be equal to ninety (90) days) and (ii) in the case of conditions under Section 5.2, Seller shall have the right from time to time, by written notice to Buyer, to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date (but the maximum period of adjournments by Seller under this Section 2.4(f) shall be equal to ninety (90) days, unless such adjournment is required to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 5.2(h), in which event Seller shall have the right, by written notice to Buyer, to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date from time to time, in ninety (90) day increments, through the Outside Property Readiness Date). (g) The Closing shall be held on the Scheduled Closing Date at 11:00 A.M. by means of a New York style escrow closing facilitated by Escrow Agent.

Promptly after the entry into or modification of any Lease, Seller shall advise Buyer thereof (and provide Buyer with true, correct and complete copies of the applicable documentation). Promptly after Buyer’s inquiry from time to time, Seller shall advise Buyer of the then-current status of the negotiations described on Exhibit A. (d) Insurance. Seller shall at all times, at Seller’s cost, maintain the property and liability insurance set forth on Schedule F, except that Seller may make adjustments in such types of insurance coverage to the extent the same are commercially reasonable (it being agreed that adjustments substantially matching adjustments in the Alexander’s Inc. blanket insurance program for properties similar to the Property shall be deemed commercially reasonable), provided that (i) except as expressly provided in Schedule F with respect to pollution liability coverage after December 17, 2017, such adjustments would not, individually or in the aggregate, reduce the substantive protections previously provided by the insurance set forth on Schedule F other than to a de minimis extent and (ii) Seller shall give Buyer notice of any such adjustment within a reasonably prompt time after effecting the same, which notice shall provide reasonably sufficient detail (including, where applicable, insurance certificates) in order to enable Buyer to confirm that the requirements of this Section 3.3(d) have been fulfilled.

For the avoidance of doubt, a temporary certificate of occupancy for the Property that contains DOB revisions to the Current TCO (including DOB revisions adverse to Buyer), shall constitute a “TCO” for purposes of this Agreement as long as such certificate is valid and permits occupancy of the Property. (ii) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, (x) Seller shall fully indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer from and against any and all fines imposed by any Governmental Authority by reason of any use or occupancy of the Property without a valid temporary certificate of occupancy being in effect at any time following September 18, 2025 through the Closing (or in violation of the certificate of occupancy in effect at such time), (y) Seller’s indemnification obligation pursuant to clause (x) of this sentence shall survive the Closing and (z) Seller’s indirect parent entity, Alexander’s, Inc. hereby guarantees the obligations of Seller under clause (x) of this sentence. (iii) TCO Note re Parking Spaces. If the TCO that is in effect as of the Closing does not delete the requirement in the “Borough Comments” section of the Current TCO to “clarify enclosed and open number of parking spaces”, then Buyer shall receive a


 
-24- credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($200,000.00). (iv) Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.3(e)(iii), if the TCO that is in effect as of the Closing (whether temporary or permanent) is revised from the Current TCO in an adverse manner, then Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND AND 00/100 DOLLARS ($400,000.00). (f) Tax Map. Seller’s counsel has sent a letter, dated July 12, 2024, to the New York City Department of Finance, requesting the removal of Block 2084, Lot 130 from the Tax Map. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer (as reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time), with each party being responsible for its own costs, to obtain such removal. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, if such removal has not occurred as of Closing, then at Closing Seller shall deliver to Buyer a quitclaim deed to Block 2084, Lot 130. (g) Maintenance and Repairs. (i) Subject to Section 3.3(g)(ii) and Section 9.2, but without limiting Seller’s obligations under Section 3.3(e), at Seller’s cost (except to the extent expressly set forth to the contrary in this Section 3.3(g)): (A) [Intentionally omitted.] (B) Seller shall pay any fines, penalties, interest and other amounts resulting from Violations issued prior to the Closing that are, in each case, in a liquidated amount. (C) If any Violation is issued between the Effective Date and Closing (such period, the “Contract Period” and any such Violation, a “Contract Period Violation”) with respect to any of the items listed in Part I or Part II of Schedule G attached hereto because Seller (1) failed to perform any inspections or tests or to take any actions specified in Part I of Schedule G or required by the local laws listed in Part II of Schedule G (but subject to Seller’s rights under this Section 3.3(g)(i) to turn off pieces of HVAC equipment and to shut down elements of Vertical Transportation) or (2) failed to perform any repair or other work necessary to pass such inspections or tests and such failure to perform under either clause (1) or clause (2) of this clause (C) prevented Seller from maintaining a TCO, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall cause such Contract Period Violation to be removed from the DOB’s records no later than Closing. For any other Contract Period Violations, if Buyer requests Seller to use commercially reasonable efforts to effect such removal, then Seller will do so provided (x) Buyer agrees in writing to pay the actual, out-of- pocket costs reasonably incurred by Seller in using commercially reasonable efforts to effect such removal and (y) the removal of any such other Contract Period Violation shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the


 
-25- purchase of the Property in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. (D) HVAC Equipment and Sump Pumps. (1) [Intentionally omitted.] (2) At all times during the Contract Period, Seller will operate, maintain and, if necessary, repair (x) those components of the HVAC system to the extent required (in Seller’s reasonable judgment) to avoid the bursting of pipes and the growth of mold and (y) the existing sump pumps at the Improvements. (3) Seller will maintain and keep in effect the Equipment Use Permits existing as of the Effective Date, if and to the extent that the equipment covered by such Equipment Use Permits is required to meet Seller’s obligations under Section 3.3(g)(i)(A) or clause (1) or clause (2) of this Section 3.3(g)(i)(D), but subject to clause (4) below. (4) Buyer understands and agrees that many pieces of HVAC equipment in the Improvements have been or will be turned off because that equipment is not required to meet Seller’s obligations under clause (1) or clause (2) of this Section 3.3(g)(i)(D). Seller shall not be obligated to maintain and keep current any Equipment Use Permits for equipment that is so turned off. Thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated date of Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a list of which pieces of HVAC equipment in the Improvements have been turned off and which have not been turned off. (E) Prior to the Closing, Seller shall remove any exterior signage on the Property except exterior signage that is (x) reasonably required for the operation of the parking garage or (y) required by Legal Requirements. (F) At all times during the Contract Period, Seller shall repair any leak of water into the Improvements of which Seller is aware (or should reasonably be aware) and that is reasonably likely to materially damage the Improvements, provided that in the case of water infiltration or leaks caused by storm water or inadequacies in or failures of public infrastructure (including overflows in the New York City storm drain system or broken water mains), Seller’s obligation under this clause (F) shall be limited to (x) the use of commercially reasonable efforts to contain the infiltrated water and prevent mold


 
-26- (such as, by way of example, the removal of wet drywall or the use of sump pumps and/or sandbags if and when a prudent owner of property would do so), subject to Section 3.3(g)(ii)(B), and (y) the removal of any material amounts of standing water and/or mold. (G) At all times during the Contract Period, Seller shall secure the Property from intruders and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any intruders to leave. Seller shall not be obligated to install any additional fencing or barricades around the parking garage or other portions of the Improvements. (H) Seller shall remediate any environmental condition in accordance with Legal Requirements if and to the extent that such condition was caused by the affirmative action of a Covered Person during the Contract Period. Further, in the event that an environmental condition affecting the Property first arises during the Contract Period, and the same is not caused by the affirmative action of a Covered Person or the Buyer, a Buyer’s Affiliate or any contractor or vendor engaged by Buyer or a Buyer’s Affiliate, then Seller shall take commercially reasonable steps to pursue the party(ies) responsible for such condition to compel such party(ies) to remediate such environmental condition in accordance with Legal Requirements. For purposes of this clause (H), a “Covered Person” means (1) Seller, (2) any Seller’s Affiliate, (3) any tenant at the Property, (4) any contractor or vendor engaged by Seller, Seller’s Affiliate or any tenant at the Property for the provision of labor or material at the Property or (5) any subcontractor engaged for the provision of labor or material at the Property by a contractor described in the immediately preceding sub-clause (4). (I) Buyer shall remediate any environmental condition to the extent that Buyer is required to do so under the Access Agreement. (J) Vertical Transportation. (1) [Intentionally omitted.] (2) Any Vertical Transportation may be shut down, but not decommissioned. (3) Subject to clause (4) of this Section 3.3(g)(i)(J), Seller will (at Seller’s cost) cause all inspections, testing and municipal fees required to keep all Vertical Transportation permits current even after any Vertical Transportation has been shut down.


 
-27- (4) After any element of Vertical Transportation is shut down in compliance with clause (2) of this Section 3.3(g)(i)(J), Buyer will pay for the actual, reasonable out-of- pocket cost of any maintenance and repairs, each to the extent reasonably required for the renewal of permits being kept current by Seller with respect to such element pursuant to clause (3) of this Section 3.3(g)(i)(J). (5) If the exterior escalators in the Improvements are shut down, then Seller will close and lock the attached gates at the tops and bottoms of such escalators. (K) Seller shall have the right to obtain approvals or waivers from the FDNY and/or any other governmental authority to decrease the frequency of or to eliminate the inspections or tests specified in Part I of Schedule G, except for any inspections or tests required to maintain Equipment Use Permits for equipment required to be operated under clause (D)(3) of this Section 3.3(g)(i). (ii) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 3.3(g)(i) or anything else in this Agreement that may be construed to the contrary: (A) Seller shall have no obligation or liability with respect to, and Buyer shall have no rights or remedies hereunder as a result of, a Violation or other condition at the Property caused by Buyer, its contractors, representatives or agents. (B) Subject to the final sentence of this Section 3.3(g)(ii)(B), Seller shall have no obligation or liability with respect to, and Buyer shall have no rights or remedies hereunder as a result of, Seller’s failure to make any repair, alteration, improvement or replacement, to cure any Violation, to incur any cost or to deliver the Property in a specified condition, to the extent that in any such case the same would require Seller to incur an expenditure that (1) under United States generally accepted accounting principles is capital in nature (a “Capital Expenditure”) and (2) when taken together with all other Capital Expenditures during the Contract Period as of the date of such determination, would exceed either (a) Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred Sixty Six and 67/100 Dollars ($16,666.67) multiplied by the greater of (I) the number of months from the Effective Date through the last full month preceding such date of determination and (II) six (6) or (b) Two Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars in the aggregate. If any such repair, alteration, improvement, replacement or cure is not made by Seller pursuant to this Section 3.3(g)(ii)(B), (x) Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof (in reasonable detail) (but the failure to provide such notice shall not affect the protections afforded to Seller under the first sentence of this Section 3.3(g)(ii)(B)) and (y) Seller shall consider in good faith a request by Buyer to effect such repair, alteration, improvement, replacement or cure prior to


 
-28- the Closing, provided Buyer agrees in writing to pay the actual, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Seller in effecting the same and (z) Seller’s failure to perform or complete such work shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the purchase of the Property in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. This Section 3.3(g)(ii)(B) shall not be applicable to Seller’s obligations under Section 3.3(g)(i)(B), (E) or (H). (C) Except as may be expressly required under this Agreement (including this Section 3.3(g) and Section 9.2), (1) Seller shall have no obligation or liability with respect to, and Buyer shall have no rights or remedies hereunder as a result of, any Violation and (2) Seller shall have no liability and Buyer shall have no rights or remedies if and to the extent the Property is not in compliance with Legal Requirements applicable to the Property. (iii) To the extent that any environmental condition exists as of the Effective Date but is discovered only during the Contract Period, such condition shall not give rise to any obligations on the part of Seller or its affiliates or rights on the part of Buyer or its affiliates (except if the same violates a representation being made by Seller in Section 3.2(f) or Seller’s obligations in Section 3.3(g), in any of which cases Buyer shall have the remedies provided for herein). (iv) If during the Contract Period any material environmental condition first arises (and not, for clarity, is first discovered) and the same is not addressed by Section 3.3(g)(i)(H) (unless the same is so addressed but Seller fails to remediate the same in a prompt and commercially reasonable manner), Section 3.3(g)(i)(I) or Section 3.3(g)(iii) (unless the same constitutes a violation of a representation as set forth therein), then Buyer shall have the right to elect, within fifteen (15) Business Days after Buyer obtains actual knowledge of such condition, either (x) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit (including all interest thereon) shall be returned to Buyer (or, if the Deposit is then being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer) and (ii) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (y) to proceed with the Closing, in which case Buyer shall be deemed to have waived and released Seller from any claim in respect of such condition. If Buyer shall fail to notify Seller of its election within said fifteen (15) Business Day period, then Seller shall have the right to give Buyer a second notice (stating in bold and capitalized letters “YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND IN FIFTEEN (15) BUSINESS DAYS WILL RESULT IN A WAIVER OF CONDITIONS TO CLOSING”), and if Buyer shall fail to notify Seller of its election within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of such second notice, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing in accordance with such clause (y). If Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing in accordance with clause (y) of this Section 3.3(g)(iv), then Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assign (or caused to be assigned) to Buyer at the Closing the proceeds of any insurance policies providing coverage for the remediation costs of the environmental condition in question, less any out-of-pocket collection costs (and other out-of-pocket costs and expenses) that Seller shall have


 
-29- reasonably incurred to stabilize or remediate such condition prior to the Closing. This Section 3.3(g)(iv), and not Section 9.2, shall govern in the circumstances described in this Section 3.3(g)(iv). (v) In the event of any dispute with respect to this Section 3.3(g) that the parties fail to resolve themselves, either party shall have the right to submit such dispute to binding arbitration by JAMS (the “ADR Provider”), in accordance with its rules for the real estate industry and expedited procedures then in effect. In the event that JAMS is unable to act as the ADR Provider, then any arbitration hereunder shall be conducted in New York City before an arbitrator appointed, on application of any party, by any justice of the New York State Supreme Court located in the County of Queens. In rendering its decision and award the arbitrator(s) shall have no power to modify any of the provisions of this Section 3.3(g). Any arbitrator appointed or selected in connection with any arbitration under this Section 3.3(g) shall be (x) a real estate owner, developer or manager having at least ten (10) years’ experience with the maintenance and repairs of retail buildings in the City of New York and (y) neutral, unaffiliated and independent of either Buyer or Seller. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs and expenses in connection with such arbitration, and for one-half (1/2) of the costs and expenses of the ADR Provider in connection with such arbitration. (h) Special Permit Approval. Seller shall not take any action reasonably expected to result in either (i) a revocation or invalidation of the Rego II Special Permit Approval or (ii) a modification of the Rego II Special Permit Approval which modification would have an adverse effect on the Property (except to a de minimis degree). (i) Open Permit Matters. Seller, at Seller’s cost and expense, shall close out, remove and/or otherwise resolve the matters indicated as the responsibility of “Vornado” or “existing tenant” on Exhibit K attached hereto in the manner specified on said Exhibit K (and, for clarity, Seller shall have no obligation with respect to the unshaded rows on said Exhibit K, namely, rows 1, 6, 9, 10, 12, 13, 16, 21, 23 and 27). (j) Environmental Matters. Promptly after Seller receives the same, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of any correspondence relating to the Property between Seller and Governmental Authorities relating to Hazardous Materials or Environmental Laws. Promptly after either party becomes aware thereof, such party shall notify the other party of any material release, discharge, or migration of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or around the Property or any violation of Environmental Law at the Property. Seller shall not grant any Person the right to use the Property for the handling, manufacture, treatment, storage, use, generation, release, discharge, refining, dumping, or disposal of any hazardous materials, in each instance in violation of any applicable Environmental Laws. If and to the extent that Seller is required by this Agreement to remediate any environmental condition, Seller shall undertake such remediation to completion at Seller’s sole cost and expense, and promptly after receipt of a no further action determination or equivalent regulatory approval confirming that adequate investigation and remediation has been completed Seller shall deliver same to Buyer (which delivery obligation shall survive the Closing).


 
-30- (k) Representations. Seller shall not take any action that would cause any representation or warranty by Seller in Section 3.2(d) or Section 3.2(g) to become untrue. (l) Buyer License Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement, including Section 3.3, shall be construed to relieve Seller or Buyer of any of their respective rights and obligations under the Buyer License Agreement (including Seller’s obligations with respect to utilities at, and access to, the premises licensed thereunder) or to affect the parties’ respective remedies relating thereto. Section 3.4 Bridge Demo Work. (a) Subject to and in accordance with the terms set forth in this Section 3.4 and Section 3.5, (i) Seller acknowledges and agrees that Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work is an express condition to Buyer’s obligation to close on the purchase and sale of the Property hereunder; and (ii) Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work not later than the Outside Property Readiness Date. If at any time Seller is not using such commercially reasonable efforts, Buyer shall have the right to seek injunctive or declaratory relief to compel Seller to do so. (b) The Bridge Demo Work shall be performed and completed in accordance with the specifications set forth on Schedule B. Without obligation, Seller shall endeavor to keep Buyer apprised (orally or by email), on a reasonably frequent basis, as to the progress of the Bridge Demo Work, the then-anticipated date of Final Completion and (if Final Completion has occurred) the date of Final Completion. (c) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, if the Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work is delayed beyond the then-applicable Outside Property Readiness Date because of fire or other casualty, acts of God, laws, regulations or rules of any Governmental Authority, including those relating to pandemics or other diseases, unusual weather conditions, latent or otherwise unknown conditions at the Property, war or other hostilities, riot, civil commotion or unrest, acts of terrorism, labor or supply shortages, strikes and other work actions, insolvency of, or other conditions or occurrences with respect to, contractors, subcontractors, suppliers or other Persons involved in the planning, performance or supplying of the Bridge Demo Work (but not the insolvency or other financial condition of Seller or Rego II Owner), and/or any other event, occurrence or condition, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, that is beyond the reasonable control of Seller to prevent (provided, however, that (i) Seller shall have given Buyer written notice of the applicable delay and the reasons therefor (each in reasonable detail), within a reasonably prompt period after Seller first has knowledge of such delay and (ii) Seller shall not be entitled to such postponement to the extent such delay is caused by Seller’s failure, within a reasonably prompt period after Seller first has knowledge of such delay or prevention, to take commercially reasonable measures to mitigate its duration) (an “Excused Delay”), then (subject to the immediately succeeding sentence) the then-applicable Outside Property Readiness Date shall be postponed (on a day-for-day basis) for each day of Excused Delay, but not beyond the later to occur of October 31, 2029 and the second (2nd) anniversary of the commencement of such Excused Delay. If an Excused Delay shall be continuing at the


 
-31- conclusion of such postponement, then, unless both parties shall agree otherwise (or Buyer shall agree, in Buyer’s sole discretion, to waive the closing condition regarding Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work), this Agreement shall terminate and the provisions of Section 13.1(c) shall apply. For clarity, if an Excused Delay shall have prevented the Final Completion of the Bridge Demo Work as of the then-applicable Outside Property Readiness Date, then this Section 3.4(c), and not Section 2.4(b)(2) or Section 2.4(b)(3), shall be applicable. (d) If Buyer shall elect to pursue the Completion of the Bridge Demo Work (as set forth in Section 2.4(b)(2) or in connection with any waiver of the condition set forth in Section 5.2(b)), then the following shall apply: (A) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred by Buyer in effectuating the Completion of the Bridge Demo Work, with Seller being responsible for reimbursing Buyer for such costs within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of invoices therefor, from time to time, with reasonable backup documentation, (B) Seller shall automatically be deemed to grant Buyer a license to enter the Property for such work, and Rego II Owner shall automatically be deemed to grant Buyer a license to enter Rego II for such work, subject to obtaining the consent for such license from the Rego II Lender, which Rego II Owner agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, (C) Seller shall (to the extent, if any, so directed by Buyer) assign to Buyer any and all contracts, permits, licenses, approvals and other documents in connection with the Bridge Demo Work, (D) prior to commencing such work, Buyer shall deliver to Seller certificates of insurance evidencing customary insurance coverages (as reasonably agreed between Seller and Buyer) for the work Buyer proposes to perform, naming Seller, Rego II Owner, Rego II Lender and their respective affiliates as additional or named insureds, (E) such work shall be performed subject to the rights of tenants of Rego II pursuant to their respective leases, and (F) Seller and Rego II Owner shall cooperate (as reasonably requested from time to time) with Buyer’s efforts in connection with such work. Section 3.5 Rego II. (a) Bridge Demo Work. (i) Rego II Owner hereby agrees to the performance and completion of the Bridge Demo Work. (ii) Buyer acknowledges that the demolition of the parking garage on the Property is not part of the Bridge Demo Work, is not an obligation on the part of Seller or any of its Affiliates and is not a condition to Closing, and Seller acknowledges and agrees that it shall not demolish such parking garage (or do any work that damages or otherwise materially adversely affects such parking garage, except as expressly set forth in Section 9.2 or in Schedule E). (b) Rego II Owner and Seller each hereby agrees, for the benefit of Buyer, to effect (at or prior to the Closing) the termination of the Rego II Easement Agreement pursuant to an instrument substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto (delivered together with the applicable transfer tax forms, duly executed and acknowledged).


 
-32- (c) Rego II Owner is executing this Agreement for the sole purpose of evidencing its agreement to the provisions of this Section 3.5 and for no other purposes whatsoever. (d) Notwithstanding the terms of Article VIII or anything else herein that may be construed to the contrary, the Rego II Easement Agreement shall not be a Permitted Exception, Buyer shall not be required to deliver a Title Notice in connection therewith and the termination of the Rego II Easement in accordance with this Section 3.5 shall be a condition to Buyer’s (as well as Seller’s) obligation to close. (e) In the event that either of the current mortgage loans on Rego II is refinanced, Rego II Owner shall cause the refinancing documents to include the refinancing lender’s consent to the termination of the Rego II Easement Agreement and the Bridge Demolition Work. (f) Concurrently herewith, Seller and Rego II Condominium shall execute and deliver, and cause to be acknowledged, the Acknowledgement of Termination attached hereto as Exhibit M and the applicable transfer tax forms, and shall cause such Acknowledgment of Termination to be recorded in the City Register against the Property. For the avoidance of doubt, the “1995 Agreement” (as defined in Exhibit M) is not a Permitted Exception. (g) Concurrently herewith, Seller shall cause the modification to declaration attached hereto as Exhibit N-1 and the mortgage modification attached hereto as Exhibit N-2 (all as fully executed, and together with the required transfer tax forms and affidavits) to be recorded in the City Register. For the avoidance of doubt, the declaration described in Item 1 of Schedule C shall not be a Permitted Exception unless such modification to declaration and mortgage modification have been recorded in the City Register. Section 3.6 Provisions Regarding Representations and Warranties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein: (a) To the extent any representation or warranty of Seller set forth herein or in any Closing Document is contradicted by information Otherwise Disclosed to Buyer, such representation or warranty or certification shall be deemed modified by such information. (b) If a representation and warranty set forth herein with respect to any Lease was true and correct as of the Effective Date, then no change in the circumstances or status occurring after the Effective Date, unless such change results from a breach by Seller of its obligations hereunder, shall constitute grounds for Buyer’s failure to close on the purchase and sale contemplated herein or assertion of a claim against Seller. (c) If after the Effective Date Seller obtains Knowledge that it is reasonably likely the condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) will not be satisfied, then Seller shall disclose the same to Buyer in writing (in reasonable detail) and, provided that the cause of the


 
-33- same shall not have been Seller’s breach of its obligations hereunder, Seller may (but shall not be obligated to) request that Buyer, within thirty (30) days following such notice, elect between (i) terminating this Agreement, in which event, (x) the Deposit (including all interest thereon) shall be returned to Buyer (or, if the Deposit is then held in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer) and (y) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any rights and obligations that are expressly provided to survive the termination of this Agreement) or (ii) waive such condition (and any Claims under Article XI) to the extent so disclosed by Seller and proceed with the purchase of the Property. If Buyer shall fail to notify Seller of its election within said thirty (30) day period, then Seller shall give Buyer a second notice (stating in bold and capitalized letters “YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND IN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS WILL RESULT IN A WAIVER OF CONDITIONS TO CLOSING”), and if Buyer shall fail to notify Seller of its election within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such second notice then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence.

Buyer shall direct, and otherwise use commercially reasonable efforts to cause, the applicable title company or surveyor to deliver to Seller a copy of any such update concurrently with its delivery to Buyer. Section 8.2 New Exceptions. (a) If the Title Company first raises a title exception after the Effective Date but prior to Closing, and the same shall not be a Permitted Exception (each, a “New Exception”), Buyer may notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s objection to such New Exception (a “Title Notice”) no later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the New Exception from the Title Company. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 8.2(a), any New Exception that is not disapproved by Buyer in writing within such ten (10) Business Day period shall be deemed to be approved by Buyer and a Permitted Exception.

If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to the second immediately preceding sentence, then (i) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any rights and obligations that are expressly provided to survive the termination of this Agreement), and (ii) the Deposit (including all interest thereon) shall be returned to Buyer (or, if the Deposit is then being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer). If Buyer shall fail to notify Seller of its election within said ten (10) Business Day period, then Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property subject to such New Exception. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied in this Agreement, it is understood and agreed that Seller shall not be required to bring any action or proceeding or expend any funds in order to cure or remove any defects in or exceptions or other objections to title with respect to the Property, and Buyer have no right of action against Seller, at law or in equity, for Seller’s inability to convey title subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (it being understood and agreed that Buyer’s remedy shall be termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2(b)); provided, however, that Seller shall be required to remove, obtain releases of or bond (as the case may be) all of the following: (i) any liens encumbering the Property (excluding any lien that is a Permitted Exception) which Seller is not otherwise obligated pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of this Section 8.2(c) to discharge and which can be discharged by the payment of a liquidated sum of money not exceeding ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,500,000.00) in the aggregate, (ii) any mortgage lien or fixture filing, in each case for borrowed money created by Seller, (iii) any mechanic’s or materialman’s liens arising from the performance of the Bridge Demo Work or any other work commissioned by or on behalf of Seller, (iv) any instruments voluntarily recorded or otherwise voluntarily placed by Seller against the Property following the Effective Date, not required by law to be given for the benefit of any utility or Governmental Authority and not otherwise Permitted Exceptions, and (v) any judgment or federal income tax liens against Seller. Section 8.3 Cooperation.

Solely for purposes of illustration of the foregoing clause (ii), and without varying the terms of said clause (ii), assuming the transfer of the Property is exempt from the City Transfer Tax (but not the State Transfer Tax), the City Transfer Tax tax rate is 2.625% of the Purchase Price and the Co-op Payment is $18,750,000, then Buyer would receive a credit to the Purchase Price equal to $5,689,687.50 (i.e., the total Transfer Taxes not paid ($6,181,875) minus the Transfer Taxes not paid with respect to the Co-op Payment ($492,187.50)). (b) Seller and Buyer shall each be responsible for the payment of the costs of their respective legal counsel, advisors and other professionals employed thereby in connection with the sale of the Property.

-46- (e) The costs and fees of Escrow Agent shall be divided equally between Seller and Buyer, except that in the event of any litigation relating to the entitlement to the Deposit, the non-prevailing party shall pay Escrow Agent’s fees and expenses. (f) Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify the other parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, charge, liability or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) which such other party may sustain or incur as a result of the failure of either party to timely pay any of the taxes, fees or other charges for which it has assumed responsibility under the above provisions of this Section 9.1. (g) If Seller provides Buyer a credit against the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 9.1(a), Buyer shall indemnify Seller from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, charge, liability or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, penalties and fines) that Seller may sustain or incur as a result of Seller’s failure to timely pay the Transfer Taxes for which Buyer received such credit, including any Transfer Taxes required to be paid by Seller. (h) The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited by the six (6) month survival period set forth in Section 11.4, the Basket Limitation or the Cap Limitation, and any amounts owing by Seller under this Section 9.1 shall not be counted toward the Basket Limitation. Section 9.2 Risk of Loss. (a) If, on or before the Scheduled Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then the same shall not impair Seller’s obligation to sell, or Buyer’s obligation to purchase, the Property in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided that: (i) Seller shall, at no cost to Purchaser, commence in a reasonably prompt manner, prosecute with reasonable diligence and substantially complete the repair of the Improvements so as to cause the Improvements to be in safe and secure condition (or, if the same shall be reasonable after a substantial casualty and Seller shall so elect, so as to cause the complete demolition of the Improvements, as long as the Property is at all times in safe and secure condition, properly fenced and properly draining), in any event in material compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and, at Seller’s election, in material compliance with the requirements of any Lease then in effect, provided that Seller shall not otherwise restore the Property, except to the extent (if any) that Buyer shall have consented to such restoration in writing; (ii) Seller will credit against the Purchase Price payable by Buyer at the Closing an amount equal to the proceeds, if any, received by Seller as a result of such casualty, plus the policy deductible and any self-insured amounts associated with such casualty, but less Seller’s actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection, and also


 
-47- less Seller’s actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to comply with the provisions of Section 9.2(a)(i); (iii) To the extent that, as of the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller has not received the insurance proceeds relating to such fire or other casualty, the parties shall nevertheless consummate on the Scheduled Closing Date the conveyance of the Property (without any such credit), and at the Closing Seller will assign to Buyer all rights of Seller to such proceeds, plus the policy deductible and any self-insured amounts associated with such casualty, but less Seller’s reasonable costs of collection and also less Seller’s actual, reasonable out-of-pocket costs incurred to comply with the provisions of Section 9.2(a)(i); and (iv) Seller and Buyer shall cooperate (reasonably and in good faith) to communicate with each other regarding the restoration of the Property and to facilitate the collection and distribution of insurance proceeds relating to such fire or other casualty. (b) Notwithstanding the terms of Section 9.2(a), if the repair costs to be incurred by Seller in the performance of its obligations under Section 9.2(a)(i) by reason of the casualty in question are not covered either by the insurance required to be maintained by Seller under Section 3.3(d) or insurance actually maintained by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller (or by any other Person, to the extent that the proceeds of such insurance will be available for such restoration costs), and the costs to be incurred by Seller in the performance of such obligations exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00), based on a written estimate prepared by a reputable contractor selected by Seller and delivered to Buyer within a reasonable period after such casualty, then Seller, by notice to Buyer within thirty (30) days after Seller’s receipt of such estimate, may elect not to perform such obligations, in which event Buyer shall elect, within thirty (30) days after such notice from Seller, either (x) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit (including all interest thereon) shall be returned to Buyer (or, if the Deposit is then being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer) and (ii) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (y) to proceed with the Closing, in which case Buyer shall be deemed to have waived and released Seller from any claim in respect of such casualty, but the initial Purchase Price set forth in Section 2.2(a) shall be reduced by One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) less any actual, reasonable out-of-pocket repair costs incurred by Seller pursuant to Section 9.2(a)(i) notwithstanding Seller’s election not to complete such work (but the Purchase Price shall in no event be increased). If Buyer fails to timely deliver a notice to Seller electing to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.2(b), Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (y). (c) Subject to Section 9.2(d), if, on or before the Scheduled Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer (which notice shall state in bold and capitalized letters “NOTICE OF CONDEMNATION; YOUR FAILURE TO RESPOND


 
MAY RESULT IN A DEEMED ELECTION”) and, at the Closing, Seller will credit against the Purchase Price payable by Buyer at the Closing an amount equal to the award, if any, received by Seller as a result of such condemnation, less Seller’s reasonable out-of-pocket costs of collection, and less any amounts spent to restore or secure the Property. If as of the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller has not received any such condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate on the Scheduled Closing Date the conveyance of the Property (without any credit for such condemnation proceeds), and at the Closing Seller will assign to Buyer (in an instrument reasonably acceptable, in form and substance, to Seller and Buyer) all rights of Seller, if any, to the condemnation proceeds attributable to the Property (less Seller’s reasonable costs of collection and amounts spent to restore or secure the Property). (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.2(c), if, on or before the Scheduled Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be subject to a Material Condemnation, Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by notice to Seller no more than thirty (30) days after Buyer has received notice of such Material Condemnation pursuant to Section 9.2(c), to elect either (x) to terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) the Deposit (including all interest thereon) shall be returned to Buyer (or, if the Deposit is then being held in the form of a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit shall be returned to Buyer) and (ii) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (y) to proceed with the Closing. If Buyer fails to timely deliver a notice to Seller electing to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 9.2(d), Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing, in which case, Section 9.2(c) shall be applicable. (e) The provisions of this Section 9.2 are intended to supersede those of Section 5-1311 of the General Obligations Law of New York and are hereby deemed to constitute an express agreement to the contrary.

Section 10.4 Re-Adjustment. If any items to be adjusted pursuant to this Article X are not determinable at the Closing, the adjustment shall be made subsequent to the Closing when the charge is determined.

The provisions of this Article X shall survive the Closing. Section 10.5 No Limitation. The obligations of Seller under this Article X shall not be subject to the Basket Limitation or Cap Limitation or the six (6) month survival period set forth in Section 11.4, and any amounts owing by Seller under this Article X shall not be counted toward the Basket Limitation.

Section 11.3 Limitations on Indemnification. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 11.1: (a) Seller shall not be required to indemnify Buyer or any Buyer-Related Entities under Section 11.1(a) unless the aggregate of all amounts for which an indemnity would otherwise be payable by Seller under Section 11.1(a) exceeds the Basket Limitation, in which case Buyer shall be entitled to recover all Claims incurred by Buyer in excess of the Basket Limitation; (b) in no event shall the liability of Seller with respect to the indemnification provided for in Section 11.1 exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation (except the Cap Limitation shall not be applicable with respect to Seller’s representations under Section 3.1 or Seller’s obligations under Section 9.1, Article X, Article XII, Section 14.2 and Section 14.3); and (c) in the event that prior to the Closing Buyer obtains actual knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller (a “Buyer Waived Breach”), Buyer shall have the option, after giving Seller notice of such breach or default and a reasonable opportunity to cure the same (which shall be no less than ten (10) days for a breach or default that can reasonably be cured by the payment of a liquidated sum and no less than thirty (30) days for other breaches and defaults), of either (i) terminating this Agreement, if, with respect to any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller, the closing condition in Section 5.2(a) or Section 5.2(b) would not be satisfied as a result of such inaccuracy or breach, by delivering written notice of such termination to Seller on or before the Scheduled Closing Date or (ii) proceeding with and consummating the Closing with no reduction to the Purchase Price, in which event Buyer and any Buyer-Related Entities shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Article XI for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, at law or in equity on account of, any such Buyer Waived Breach. In no event shall Buyer or Seller be entitled to seek or obtain consequential, special, punitive or exemplary damages against the other, except for third-party claims that are subject to indemnification under Section 11.1 or Section 11.2, as applicable.

All other representations and warranties and covenants made by Seller and/or Buyer contained in this Agreement or the Closing Documents shall survive for a period of six (6) months after the Closing or such longer or shorter survival period expressly provided for elsewhere in this Agreement (the “Limitation Period”), provided that, in the event a Claim has been asserted in a notice to the other party and is pending as of the expiration of such Limitation Period, such Limitation Period shall be extended, solely respect to such pending Claim, until such time as such pending Claim is resolved by payment or otherwise. Section 11.5 Indemnification as Sole Remedy. If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach or default by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty or covenant covered under this ARTICLE XI shall be the indemnifications provided for under this ARTICLE XI. ARTICLE XII TAX CERTIORARI PROCEEDINGS Section 12.1 Prosecution and Settlement of Proceedings. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property relating to any fiscal year in which the Closing occurs or ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs remains unresolved as of the Closing, Seller shall continue to control such proceedings, but Seller shall not settle or compromise any such proceeding with respect to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs without Buyer’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in connection with the prosecution of any tax reduction proceedings. Section 12.2 Application of Refunds or Savings. Refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such reduction proceedings applicable to taxes in respect of the period prior to the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes in respect of the period from and after the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer.

-53- BY BUYER (ESPECIALLY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THAT, TO COMPLETE THE BRIDGE DEMO WORK, SELLER WILL BE REQUIRED TO TERMINATE LEASES AND VACATE TENANTS) AND THAT THE AMOUNTS TO BE PAID TO SELLER PURSUANT TO THE ABOVE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 13.1(b) CONSTITUTE A REASONABLE APPROXIMATION OF SUCH DAMAGES.

-54- CLOSING DATE AND (y) IS NOT THE RESULT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY ON THE SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF. IN THE EVENT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 13.2(a), THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 13.1(c) SHALL BE APPLICABLE. (b) IF SELLER IS IN BREACH OR DEFAULT OF ITS OBLIGATION TO SELL THE PROPERTY ON THE SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF, BUYER SHALL ELECT, AT ITS OPTION, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, EITHER TO: (i) TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, IN WHICH EVENT, (A) ESCROW AGENT SHALL IMMEDIATELY DISBURSE TO BUYER THE DEPOSIT (INCLUDING ALL INTEREST THEREON), OR IF THE DEPOSIT IS THEN BEING HELD IN THE FORM OF A LETTER OF CREDIT, THEN SELLER SHALL RETURN THE LETTER OF CREDIT TO BUYER; (B) SELLER SHALL REIMBURSE TO BUYER ALL DUE DILIGENCE COSTS, LEGAL FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER AMOUNTS EXPENDED BY BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT (PROVIDED THAT THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT SELLER SHALL BE OBLIGATED FOR UNDER THIS SECTION 13.2(b)(i)(B) is ONE MILLION DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00)); AND (C) NEITHER SELLER NOR BUYER SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT FOR THOSE WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION (WHICH SHALL INCLUDE THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE IN THIS SECTION 13.2(b)(i)), OR (ii) SPECIFICALLY ENFORCE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, PROVIDED BUYER MUST COMMENCE AN ACTION FOR SUCH SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IN A COURT SPECIFIED IN SECTION 14.13 NO LATER THAN FORTY FIVE (45) DAYS AFTER THE SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE AND THE FAILURE TO COMMENCE SUCH ACTION WITHIN SUCH FORTY FIVE (45) DAY PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED BUYER’S ELECTION TO PROCEED UNDER CLAUSE (i) OF THIS SECTION 13.2(b). NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION HEREOF TO THE CONTRARY, IF A COURT DETERMINES THAT SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE IS UNAVAILABLE AS A MATTER OF LAW BECAUSE SELLER SHALL HAVE CONVEYED THE PROPERTY TO A THIRD PARTY, THEN BUYER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO ALL


 
-55- REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW AND EQUITY, INCLUDING REIMBURSEMENT OF ALL DUE DILIGENCE COSTS, LEGAL FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER AMOUNTS EXPENDED BY BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Escrow Agent hereby acknowledges and accepts such designation and appointment and agrees to fully comply with any IRS Reporting Requirements that are or may become applicable as a result of or in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Without limiting the responsibility and obligations of Escrow Agent as the Reporting Person, Seller and Buyer hereby agree to comply with any provisions of the IRS Reporting Requirements that are not identified therein as the responsibility of the Reporting Person. Section 14.4 Escrow Provisions. Except at any time when the Deposit is being held in the form of a Letter of Credit: (a) Escrow Agent shall hold the Cash Deposit in escrow in the Deposit Escrow until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and shall hold or apply such proceeds only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller and Buyer understand that no interest is earned on the Cash Deposit during the time it takes to transfer into and out of the Deposit Escrow. At the Closing, the Cash Deposit shall be paid by Escrow Agent to, or at the direction of, Seller. If either party makes a written demand upon Escrow Agent for payment of such amount other than at Closing (including a demand by Buyer under Section 2.3(c)), Escrow Agent shall, within twenty-four (24) hours after such demand, give written notice (in accordance with Section 14.8) to the other party of such demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection to the payment being demanded within five (5) Business Days after the giving of such notice (or if the other party expressly authorizes the payment being demanded, in a written notice to Escrow Agent), then Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make such payment. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such five (5) Business Day period or if for any other reason Escrow Agent in good faith shall elect not to make such payment, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from Seller and Buyer or a final non- appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. However, Escrow Agent shall have the right at any time to deposit the Cash Deposit with the clerk of the court of New York County. Escrow Agent shall give written notice of such deposit to Seller and Buyer. Upon such deposit Escrow Agent shall be relieved and discharged of all further obligations and responsibilities hereunder with respect to the Cash Deposit. (b) Escrow Agent shall hold the Memorandum of Termination in escrow until the Closing or sooner termination of this Agreement and thereupon shall record the same with the City Register, but only in accordance with the following terms of this Section 14.4(b). Upon the Closing, Escrow Agent shall record the Memorandum of Termination. Upon a termination of this Agreement (if either party shall make a written demand upon Escrow Agent to record the Memorandum of Termination), Escrow Agent, within two (2)


 
Business Days after such demand, shall give written notice of such demand (in accordance with Section 14.8) to the other party. If, within five (5) Business Days after Escrow Agent’s giving of such notice to such other party, (i) Escrow Agent does not receive from such other party a written objection to the recordation of the Memorandum of Termination (or if such other party expressly authorizes such recordation by written notice to Escrow Agent), then Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to record the Memorandum of Termination against the Property, and (ii) Escrow Agent receives from such other party a written objection to such recordation, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold the Memorandum of Recordation until otherwise directed by joint written instructions from Seller and Buyer or a final non- appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. (c) With respect to the Deposit Escrow and (as to Section 14.3(c)(i) and (ii)) the Memorandum of Termination: (i) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any act or omission on its part, other than for its gross negligence or willful misconduct. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder. (ii) Escrow Agent has acknowledged its agreement to these provisions by signing this Agreement in the place indicated following the signatures of Seller and Buyer. (iii) Seller and Buyer agree that Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any penalties, loss of principal or interest, or the consequences of a delay in withdrawal of the Deposit which may be imposed as a result of the making or the redeeming of the above investment, as the case may be, pursuant to this Agreement. Seller and Buyer also agree that Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any loss or impairment of the Deposit while the same is in the course of collection or if such loss or impairment results from the failure, insolvency or suspension of the financial institution in which the Cash Deposit is deposited. (iv) Upon request, Escrow Agent will forward statements (not less frequently than quarterly) to Seller and Buyer showing the balance (including accrued interest) in the Deposit Escrow. Such statements forwarded to Buyer shall be sent by email to an email address of which Buyer advises Escrow Agent from time to time in writing. (d) For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this Section 14.4 relating to the Escrow Deposit shall be inapplicable at any time during which the Deposit is being held in the form of a Letter of Credit. Section 14.5 Successors and Assigns; No Third-Party Beneficiaries. The stipulations, terms, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and shall be binding upon, the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns (including any successor entity after a public offering of stock, merger, -58-


 
-59- consolidation, purchase or other similar transaction involving a party hereto) and, except as provided in Section 7.3 and Section 14.1, nothing herein expressed or implied shall give or be construed to give to any person or entity, other than the parties hereto and such assigns, any legal or equitable rights hereunder. Section 14.6 Assignment. This Agreement may be assigned by Buyer to any Affiliate of Buyer (including, without limitation, LIJMC) without any consent or approval of Seller, but this Agreement may not be otherwise assigned by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller. In the event of any assignment of this Agreement by Buyer, the Buyer named herein and such assignee shall be jointly and severally liable hereunder for the obligations of Buyer and references to “Buyer” in the definition “Otherwise Disclosed to Buyer” and to the knowledge of Buyer in Section 11.3 shall be deemed to refer to either of the assignor and assignee. Without limiting the foregoing, (a) Buyer shall have the right to designate a grantee in the Deed (which grantee may be LIJMC or any other grantee designated by Buyer) without assigning this Agreement to such grantee, provided such grantee (i) shall have no rights or remedies under this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents, other than the Deed, and (ii) shall deliver to Seller at Closing a certificate representing as to itself the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 (modified as applicable) and (b) in the event of any designation under the foregoing clause (i) Buyer shall nevertheless retain all of the rights and remedies of Buyer under this Agreement and all of the Closing Documents other than the Deed (and the right to enforce such rights and remedies). Section 14.7 Further Assurances. From time to time, as and when requested by any party hereto, the other party shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such documents and instruments and shall take, or cause to be taken, all such further or other actions as such other party may reasonably deem necessary or desirable to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
