Item 1.01.     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Purchase and Sale Agreement

On September 6, 2021, DigitalBridge Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), through DigitalBridge Operating Company, LLC (the "Seller"), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") with CWP Bidco LP, an entity affiliated with Highgate Capital Investments and Aurora Health Network LLC (the "Buyer"), under which the Buyer has agreed to buy one hundred percent of the issued and outstanding membership interests of NRF Holdco, LLC (“NRF”), for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $281,016,686.00 (the “Purchase Price”) subject to the terms and conditions of the Agreement (the “Sale”). In addition, there are anticipated to be cash distributions of approximately $35 million in the aggregate from NRF and its subsidiaries to Seller prior to the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”). The Purchase Price will be comprised of approximately $190,708,343.00 in cash ($12,500,000 of which the Buyer placed into escrow (the “Deposit”)), and the issuance at the Closing of an unsecured promissory note from the Buyer to the Seller having a principal balance of approximately $90,308,343.00, subject to adjustment as described below (the “Seller Note”). The Seller Note will have a per annum interest rate of (i) 6.50% at all times prior to the second anniversary of the Closing and (ii) 8.50% at all times on or following the second anniversary of the Closing. The Seller Note includes mandatory prepayments based on certain events and actions of the Buyer and its subsidiaries and may include a premium upon prepayment or repayment in full. The Seller Note will mature on the fifth anniversary of the Closing, subject to certain mandatory prepayment obligations following the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Seller Note). The Purchase Price will be adjusted for certain amounts contributed to, or distributed from, NRF and its subsidiaries prior to the Closing, with any adjustment applied pro rata to the cash purchase price and the principal amount of the Seller Note.

The parties’ obligations to consummate the Sale are subject to customary closing conditions, including certain third-party consents. There is no financing condition to closing the Sale. The parties to the Agreement have each made customary representations and warranties and covenants in the Agreement.

Pursuant to the Agreement, at the Closing the parties will enter into a customary transition services agreement pursuant to which each party will provide the other with certain mutually agreed upon transition services. Such agreed-upon services will generally be provided for a period of six months following the Closing.

Each of the Seller and the Buyer may terminate the Agreement if (i) the parties agree by mutual written consent to terminate the Agreement, (ii) there is in effect any law or judgment which has become final and non-appealable and which restrains, prohibits or prevents the consummation of the Sale, (iii) the Closing has not occurred on or prior to January 31, 2022 (subject to extension to April 30, 2022 if the parties are still pursuing outstanding required consents listed in the Agreement), or (iv) the other party has breached its representations and warranties or covenants, subject to customary materiality qualifications and abilities to cure. In addition, the Buyer may terminate the Agreement at any time, for any reason or no reason, provided that the Buyer simultaneously instructs the escrow agent to release the Deposit to the Seller. In the event the Agreement is terminated by the Buyer as a result of a breach by the Seller of its representations and warranties and covenants under the Agreement, within one business day after such termination the parties will cause the escrow agent to release the Deposit to the Buyer. In the event the Agreement is terminated by the Seller as a result of a breach by the Buyer of its representations and warranties and covenants under the Agreement, within one business day after such termination the parties will cause the escrow agent to release the Deposit to the Seller.

The Company currently expects the Sale to be completed in early 2022; however, there is no assurance that the Sale will close in the timeframe contemplated or on the terms anticipated, if at all.

The foregoing description of the Agreement and the Seller Note does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement (and the form of Seller Note attached as an exhibit thereto), a copy of which is being filed as Exhibit 2.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

Cautionary Statement regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This current report on Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated



events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond our control, and may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, whether the Seller will complete the Sale within the timeframe anticipated or at all, including the Seller’s ability to obtain any necessary third-party approvals to consummate the Sale, whether the Company will realize any of the anticipated benefits from the Sale, the timing and pace of the Company’s digital transformation, including the Company’s ability to rotate the balance sheet and redeploy capital into digital infrastructure, whether the Company will realize any of the anticipated benefits of such transformation, and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2021 and June 30, 2021, and its other reports filed from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance. The Company cautions investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this current report on Form 8-K.

PURCHASE AND SALE
Section 2.1    Purchase and Sale of the Units. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Seller shall sell, transfer and deliver to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase and acquire from Seller, all of the Units, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on transfer under applicable securities laws).
Section 2.2    Pre-Closing Contribution. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall contribute, or shall cause to be contributed, the Healthcare Platform to a qualified Target Company or other qualified entity designated by Buyer, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement to be mutually agreed upon by the Parties (the “Assignment and Assumption Agreement” and such contribution, the “Pre-Closing Contribution”); provided that, if Seller does not obtain a consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from the landlord under the Bethesda Lease (the “Bethesda Landlord”) prior to Closing, then the Bethesda Lease shall not be contributed to such Target Company or other qualified entity designated by Buyer until such consent is obtained. If the Bethesda Lease is unable to be assigned as a direct result of Seller’s inability to obtain a consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from the Bethesda Landlord, then Seller will cooperate in any reasonable arrangement designed to provide Buyer with the benefits of and obligations under the Bethesda Lease and will enforce at Buyer’s request any rights of the applicable member of the Parent Group arising from the Bethesda Lease. For such time from and after the Closing as the applicable member of the Parent Group holds the Bethesda Lease and provides Buyer or any Target Company any claims, rights and benefits of the Bethesda Lease in accordance with this Section 2.2, Buyer shall indemnify and hold the applicable member of the Parent Group harmless from and against any and all obligations and losses incurred or asserted to the extent resulting from such member of the Parent Group’s post-Closing direct or indirect ownership, management or operation of the Bethesda Lease in the Ordinary Course in connection with any arrangement described in this Section 2.2, except to the extent caused by fraud, negligence or willful misconduct of such member of the Parent Group following the Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer will not be liable for any damages owed under the Bethesda Lease solely to the extent such damages result from a breach of the Bethesda Lease due to Seller’s not having obtained a consent to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement from the Bethesda Landlord.
Section 2.3    Purchase Price. The aggregate consideration to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the sale of the Units will be (i) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the sum of the Closing Cash Payment Amount, as may be adjusted following the Closing pursuant to Section 6.14, plus the Deposit, and (ii) the issuance of the Promissory Note having an initial principal amount equal to the Closing Promissory Note Principal Amount, as may be adjusted following the Closing

22


pursuant to Section 6.14 (such sum of the foregoing items (i) and (ii), as may be adjusted following the Closing pursuant to Section 6.14, the “Purchase Price”).
Section 2.4    Deposit. Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Agent in immediately available funds the Deposit within three (3) Business Days after the date hereof. The Escrow Agent will place the Deposit in a federally insured account on behalf of Seller and Buyer and will otherwise hold the Deposit pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement. Upon Buyer’s deposit of the Deposit, the Deposit shall become non-refundable; provided, however, that the Deposit shall be refundable to Buyer if this Agreement is terminated in a circumstance in which a return of the Deposit to Buyer is expressly provided for in this Agreement. The Deposit will be applied as follows: (a) if this Agreement is terminated and it is expressly provided for in this Agreement that Buyer is entitled to the Deposit, the Deposit will be returned to Buyer; (b) if the Deposit is to be received by Seller as provided in this Agreement, the Deposit will be released from escrow and paid to Seller; and (c) if the Closing occurs, the Deposit will be credited to Buyer, applied against the Purchase Price, and paid to Seller at the Closing.
Section 2.5    Closing Payments. At the Closing, Buyer shall pay by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account as Seller designates to Buyer in writing not less than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, an amount equal to the Closing Cash Payment Amount.
Section 2.6    Withholding. Buyer, its Affiliates and agents will be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted and withheld) from the consideration otherwise payable under this Agreement to Seller or any other Person such amounts as may be required to be deducted and withheld under the Code or under any provision of state, local, or foreign Tax law; provided that Buyer shall notify Seller of any such deduction or withholding reasonably in advance of any payment giving rise to such deduction or withholding (unless such withholding is attributable to a failure of Seller to provide the forms specified in Section 8.2(c)) and shall cooperate with Seller to obtain any available reduction of, or relief from, any such deduction or withholding. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and paid over to the appropriate Tax authority, such deducted and withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

Prior to the Closing, each REIT Target Company shall distribute to the holders of its equity interests an amount in cash in an amount equal to its REIT taxable income recognized in the period from January 1, 2022, through the date immediately prior to the Closing Date to enable REIT Target Company to satisfy the distribution requirements under Section 857 of the Code without being subject to income or excise taxes determined as if the taxable year of the REIT Target Company ended immediately prior to the Closing.
(c)    Post-Closing Actions. None of Buyer, its Affiliates, or any Target Company shall (without the written consent of Seller (which consent will not be unreasonably

55


withheld, conditioned or delayed)) (i) make or change any Tax election or accounting method or practice with respect to a Pass-Through Tax Return or REIT Tax Return that has retroactive effect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or, with respect to a REIT Tax Return, to any Straddle Period, (ii) initiate any voluntary disclosure or other communication with any Taxing authority relating to a Pass-Through Tax Return or REIT Tax Return for Pre-Closing Tax Period or, with respect to a REIT Tax Return, to any Straddle Period, (iii) file any amended Pass-Through Tax Return or REIT Tax Return for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or, with respect to a REIT Tax Return, to any Straddle Period, (iv) agree to any waiver or extension of the statute of limitations relating to any Pre-Closing Tax Period with respect to any Pass-Through Tax Return or REIT Tax Return or, with respect to a REIT Tax Return, to any Straddle Period, or (v) take any action, except as required by applicable Law, that is outside of the Ordinary Course affecting Pass-Through Tax Returns or REIT Tax Returns with respect to any Pre-Closing Tax Period or, with respect to a REIT Tax Return, to any Straddle Period, and in the case of each action described in this clause (v), to the extent that such action could increase the Tax liability of Seller or its Affiliates.
(d)    Purchase Price Allocation. Within 30 days after the determination of the Purchase Price, Buyer will provide to Seller for Seller’s review a proposed schedule (the “Allocation Schedule”) allocating the Purchase Price (including any other items that are required for U.S. federal income Tax purposes to be treated as consideration for the purchase of the assets of the Target Companies) among the assets of the Target Companies in accordance with Sections 751, 755 and 1060 of the Code as applicable and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If Seller disagrees with the proposed Allocation Schedule, Seller will provide written notice of such disagreement to Buyer within 30 days after receipt of such proposed Allocation Schedule. If a written notice of disagreement is provided, the Parties will work in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to resolve such disagreement. If the Parties cannot resolve such disagreement within 20 days after the written notice of disagreement is delivered by Seller to Buyer, then Seller and Buyer shall prepare separate allocations and there shall be no final allocation. In the event of any adjustment to any items that are required for U.S. federal income Tax purposes to be treated as consideration for the assets of the Target Companies, the Parties will in good faith revise the Allocation Schedule to reflect such adjustment. To the extent the Parties agree to the allocation, Seller and Buyer and their respective Affiliates will file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with this Section 6.5(d).
(e)    Pass-Through Tax Returns and REIT Tax Returns. Buyer shall prepare all Pass-Through Tax Returns and REIT Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Tax Periods and Straddle Periods that are due (including extensions) after the Closing Date. Any such Tax Return shall be (i) prepared in accordance with the Target Companies’ past practices except to the extent required by applicable Law or this Agreement and (ii) delivered to Seller for its review and approval at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to the due date (including extensions) for such Tax Return.
(f)    Proceedings. If, after the Closing Date, Buyer, a Target Company, or any of their Affiliates, receives notice of a claim, action, suit, arbitration, inquiry, audit, examination, proceeding or investigation by or before any Governmental Entity relating to the Pass-Through Tax Return or REIT Tax Returns for any Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period or that could impact the Taxes or Tax position of Seller or its Affiliates (each, a “Tax Contest”), then within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, the Person in initial receipt of such notice shall notify Seller in writing thereof. Seller may elect to control the conduct and resolution of any such Tax Contest to the extent

56


such Tax Contest relates to any period ending on or prior to the Closing by delivering to Buyer written notice of Seller’s election to control within ten (10) days after receipt of such Tax Contest; provided, that Seller (i) shall conduct the Tax Contest in good faith; (ii) shall keep Buyer reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (iii) shall allow Buyer to participate in the Tax Contest at Buyer’s own expense, and (iv) shall not (and shall not allow any member of the Target Companies to) settle any such Tax Contest (or portion thereof) without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Should Seller not elect to control such Tax Contest or does not have a right to control such Tax Contest but would reasonably be expected to be liable for any resulting Taxes or otherwise be adversely affected, Buyer shall control such Tax Contest; provided that Buyer (i) shall conduct the Tax Contest in good faith; (ii) shall keep Seller reasonably informed regarding the status of such Tax Contest; (iii) shall allow Seller to participate in such Tax Contest at Seller’s own expense; and (iv) shall not (and shall not allow any member of the Target Companies to) settle any such Tax Contest (or portion thereof) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

(g)    Cooperation. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other party, in connection with (A) the preparation and filing of any Tax Returns relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period for any of the Target Companies, and (B) any examination, audit or other proceeding by a Governmental Entity with respect to any such Tax Return relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period. In the case of any such examination, audit or other proceeding, such cooperation shall include the provision of records and information that are reasonably relevant to such examination, audit or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder.
(h)    Allocation of Income. For purposes of allocating the income, gains, losses and deductions of any Target Company that is treated as a partnership or a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes between the Buyer and Seller for the Pre-Closing Tax Period including under Section 706 of the Code, such income, gains, losses and deductions shall be allocated to Buyer and Seller based on the closing of the books of the applicable Target Company and as if the taxable year of the applicable Target Company ended on the Closing Date.
Section 6.6    Efforts to Cure REIT Qualification Issues. If Buyer becomes aware of facts or circumstances arising in the Close Year or any prior taxable year that could cause any REIT Target Company to not qualify for taxation as a REIT for the Close Year or any prior taxable year, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller of such facts and circumstances. Buyer shall not be under any obligation to cure or remedy any breach of the representations contained in Section 3.11 or any other issue that arose prior to the Closing Date that could adversely impact the qualification of any REIT Target Company as a REIT unless (i) Seller pays or reimburses Buyer for all out-of-pocket expenses of the Buyer and any Taxes incurred by Buyer or the applicable Target Company that arise from taking such actions (and Buyer shall give Seller a reasonable opportunity to commit to pay or reimburse such expenses), (ii) such cure or remedy would not

57


cause any breach of any Loan Documents or other Material Contract, and (iii) the cure will not have any adverse impact on Buyer (other than (i) actual out-of-pocket expenses or Taxes that will be paid or reimbursed by Seller, or (ii) de minimis adverse impacts that do not give rise to an out-of-pocket expense or Tax and are not inordinately burdensome.
Section 6.7    D&O Indemnification; Insurance.
(a)    Buyer agrees that (i) the governing and organizational documents of each Target Company immediately after the Closing shall contain provisions with respect to indemnification, exculpation from liability and advancement of expenses that are at least as favorable with respect to pre-Closing matters to the D&O Indemnitees as those provisions that are set forth in the governing documents of such Target Company, respectively, on the date hereof, which provisions shall not be amended, repealed or otherwise modified for a period of six years following the Closing in any manner that would adversely affect the rights thereunder of D&O Indemnitees with respect to pre-Closing matters, unless such modification is required by Law, and (ii) all rights to indemnification as provided in any indemnification agreements set forth on Schedule 6.7(a) with any current or former directors, managers or officers of such Target Company as in effect as of the date hereof with respect to matters occurring at or prior to the Closing shall survive the Closing.
(b)    In addition to the other rights provided for in this Section 6.7 and not in limitation thereof, from and after the Closing, Buyer will, and will cause each of the Target Companies, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns (each, a “D&O Indemnifying Party”) to, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) indemnify and hold harmless (and release from any liability or obligation to Buyer, any Target Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or successors or assigns), current and former officers, managers and directors of the Target Companies (each, in their capacity as such, a “D&O Indemnitee”) against all D&O Expenses (as defined below), losses, claims, damages, judgments or amounts paid in settlement in respect of any threatened, pending or completed Proceeding, based on or arising from or relating to the fact that such Person is or was a director, manager or officer of a Target Company arising out of acts or omissions occurring on or prior to the Closing (including in respect of actions or omissions in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby) (a “D&O Indemnifiable Claim”) and (ii) advance to such D&O Indemnitees all D&O Expenses incurred in connection with any D&O Indemnifiable Claim (including in circumstances where the D&O Indemnifying Party has assumed the defense of such claim) except, in each case, no such D&O Indemnitee shall have any rights with respect to advancement, indemnification, contribution or other recovery of any kind from Buyer, the Target Companies, Seller or any of their respective Affiliates for any matter which such D&O Indemnitee is, in the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, found to be liable to Buyer, the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates for fraud. Any D&O Indemnifiable Claims will continue and survive until such D&O Indemnifiable Claim is finally disposed of or all Judgments in connection with such D&O Indemnifiable Claim are fully satisfied. For the purposes of this Section 6.7(b), “D&O Expenses” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other out-of-pocket, documented costs, charges and expenses paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to defend, to be a witness in or participate in any D&O Indemnifiable Claim.

58


(c)    In the event Buyer, any Target Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and is not the continuing or surviving entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any Person, then, and in each such case, Buyer shall ensure that proper provisions shall be made so that such continuing or surviving entity or transferee of such assets, as the case may be, assumes the obligations set forth in this Section 6.7.
(d)    With respect to any indemnification obligations of Buyer, any Target Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or successors or assigns pursuant to this Section 6.7, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees (i) that it, each Target Company, their respective Subsidiaries and their respective successors and assigns shall be the indemnitors of first resort with respect to all indemnification obligations of Buyer, any Target Company or any of their respective Subsidiaries or successors or assigns pursuant to this Section 6.7 (i.e., their obligations under this Section 6.7 are primary, and any obligation of any other Person to advance expenses or to provide indemnification and/or insurance with respect to the matters described in this Section 6.7 is secondary), and (ii) that it irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases any such other Person from any and all claims for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.
(e)    This Section 6.7, which shall survive the Closing and shall continue for the periods specified herein, (i) is intended to benefit each D&O Indemnitee, each of whom may enforce the provisions of this Section 6.7 (whether or not such D&O Indemnitee is a Party), and (ii) shall not be terminated, amended or modified in such a manner as to materially and adversely affect any D&O Indemnitee without the consent of such affected D&O Indemnitee.
(f)    From and after the Closing, the Target Companies shall cease to be insured by the Parent Group’s current and historical insurance policies or programs or by any of its current and historical self-insured programs, and none of the Target Companies, Buyer or its other Affiliates shall have any access, right, title or interest to or in any such insurance policies, programs or self-insured programs (including to all claims and rights to make claims and all rights to proceeds) to cover any assets of the Target Companies or any liability of the Target Companies or of or arising from the operation of the Target Companies’ business, in each case including with respect to all known and incurred but not reported claims; provided that the Target Companies shall continue to be able to benefit from insurance coverage available to the Target Companies prior to the Closing with respect to events which have occurred, conditions which are in existence, claims which are made or occurrences which are reported prior to or on the Closing Date on all occurrence-based (but not claims-made or occurrence-reported (other than with respect to claims which are made or occurrences which are reported prior to the Closing Date)) insurance policies of the Parent Group to the extent such claims relate to events which have occurred, conditions which are in existence, claims which are made, or occurrences which are reported prior to the Closing Date, and Seller shall assist Buyer and use commercially reasonable efforts in connection with any such claim that Buyer or any Target Company desires to submit or pursue under any such insurance policy. The members of the Parent Group may, to be effective at the Closing, amend any insurance policies and ancillary arrangements in the manner they deem appropriate to give effect to this Section 6.7(f). From and after the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for securing all insurance it considers appropriate for the Target Companies and the operation of the Target Companies’ business.

Section 6.8    Contacts. Buyer hereby agrees that from the date hereof until the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement, it is not authorized to, and will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, contact or communicate with the employees (except for purposes of requesting access pursuant to Section 6.9(a)), customers, service providers, suppliers, vendors, contractors, or regulators or other business or governmental relations of any Target Company without the prior consultation with, and written approval of, Seller; provided, that this Section 6.8 will not prohibit any contact by Buyer or any of its Representatives with the customers, service providers, suppliers, vendors or regulators or other business or governmental relations of any Target Company (i) in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice of Buyer or any such Representative, in each case to the extent unrelated to such Target Company and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents and without use or reference to any information obtained pursuant to or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or (ii) in connection with seeking any consents pursuant to Section 5.3.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.9(a), none of Seller or any of its Affiliates (including any of the Target Companies) will be required to disclose any information or documents, or provide any access, to Buyer or its authorized Representatives if such disclosure or provision of access would be reasonably likely to (x) jeopardize any attorney client or other legal privilege or (y) contravene any applicable Law, fiduciary duty or agreement. In the event information or documents are not disclosed, or access not provided, pursuant to clauses (x) and (y) above, Seller will, and shall cause the Target Companies to, use commercially reasonable best efforts to seek alternative means to make substitute arrangements to disclose all such information or documents (or portions thereof), or provide such access, as nearly as possible without affecting attorney-client or other legal privilege or breaching such contractual or fiduciary obligations or applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer will indemnify and hold harmless the Target Companies and

60


each member of the Parent Group from and against any losses, liabilities or expenses that may be incurred by any of them arising out of or related to the presence of Buyer’s Representatives on any Real Property, except to the extent caused by the fraud, negligence or willful misconduct of such member of the Parent Group. The information and access provided pursuant to this Section 6.9(a) will be governed by all the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1, the Confidentiality Agreement will survive the termination of this Agreement for the period set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement.

Unless otherwise consented to in writing by Seller, Buyer shall not, and shall not permit any Target Company to, for a period of six (6) years following the Closing Date, destroy, alter or otherwise dispose of any of the books and records of any Target Company for any period prior to the Closing Date without first giving reasonable prior notice to Seller and offering to surrender to Seller such books and records or any portion thereof that Buyer or any Target Company may intend to destroy, alter or dispose of.

To the extent requested by

61


the applicable counterparty, Buyer shall offer to provide commercially reasonable substitute arrangements for those provided by all applicable members of the Parent Group under each Seller Guarantee, which shall exclude, for the avoidance of doubt, any Unacceptable Modifications with respect to Existing Loans that constitute a Required Consent unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer in its sole discretion. In the event that, following the Closing, Seller is required to make any payment or incurs any loss, in each case, in respect of a Seller Guarantee, Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Seller and promptly, upon receipt of written notice, reimburse Seller the amount of such payment or loss.

Section 6.13    Notice of Leakage and Contributed Amounts; Closing Statement.
(a)    Prior to or on the date hereof, Seller has provided a preliminary notice to Buyer identifying all amounts of Leakage and the Contributed Amount as of March 31, 2021, which is attached hereto as Schedule 6.13.
(b)    In addition to the preliminary notice provided pursuant to Section 6.13(a), Seller shall provide a proposed final notice to Buyer, not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, identifying all amounts of Leakage and the Contributed Amount as of such date and anticipated as of the Closing.
(c)    Following the delivery of such proposed final notice pursuant to Section 6.13(b), Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith and reasonably cooperate to finalize a statement (the “Closing Statement”) of all amounts of Leakage (the “Closing Leakage”), the Contributed Amount (the “Closing Contributed Amount”) and the resulting calculation of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing to be determined in accordance with Section 2.3 (the “Closing Purchase Price”) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
Section 6.14    Purchase Price Adjustment; Dispute; Payment of Adjusted Purchase Price.
(a)    Adjusted Purchase Price.
(i)    Within ten (10) Business Days following the nine month anniversary of the Closing Date, each Party shall be entitled to deliver a statement (an “Adjustment Statement”) if such Party becomes aware of any Leakage or Contributed Amounts not reflected on the Closing Statement. Following the delivery by either Party of an Adjustment Statement, the other Party shall, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of such Adjustment Statement, raise objections to such Adjustment Statement, if any, by delivering a written notice (such notice, an “Adjustment Objection Statement”) setting forth any items in dispute and the basis for such dispute in reasonable detail. Following the delivery of any Adjustment Objection Statement, the Parties shall work together in good faith (including providing the other with reasonable supporting or underlying documentation) and reasonably cooperate to finalize, within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of such Adjustment Statement (or, if both Parties deliver an Adjustment Objection Statement the date of delivery of the second Adjustment Objection Statement), the actual amount of Leakage (the “Adjusted Leakage ”) and the actual Contributed Amount (the “Adjusted Contributed Amount”), together with a recalculation of the Purchase Price determined in accordance with Section 2.3; provided, that (A) Adjusted Leakage shall be substituted for Closing Leakage in the definitions of “Closing Cash Payment Amount” and “Closing Promissory Note Principal Amount”, and (B) Adjusted Contributed Amount shall be substituted for Closing Contributed Amount in the definitions of “Closing Cash Payment Amount” and “Closing Promissory Note Principal Amount” (such recalculated Purchase Price, the “Adjusted Purchase Price”).
(ii)    If neither Party delivers an Adjustment Statement within ten (10) Business Days following the nine month anniversary of the Closing Date, then the Closing Statement, and the Closing Leakage, Closing Contributed Amount and Closing

63


Purchase Price, in each case, set forth thereon, shall be deemed final, conclusive and binding on the Parties and Section 6.14(b) and Section 6.14(c) shall not apply. In the event that a Party does not deliver an Adjustment Statement and does not deliver an Adjustment Objection Statement within ten (10) Business Days following the date of delivery of an Adjustment Statement by the other Party, the Closing Statement taken together with, and as adjusted by, such Adjustment Statement (or Adjustment Objection Statement, as applicable), and the Adjusted Leakage, the Adjusted Contributed Amount and the Adjusted Purchase Price, in each case, set forth thereon, shall be deemed to be final and binding on the Parties and such Adjusted Purchase Price shall be deemed to be the “Final Purchase Price”, and Section 6.14(b) shall not apply. In the event that the Parties resolve any and all disputed items contained in any Adjustment Statement or Adjustment Objection Statement, as applicable, as contemplated by the last sentence of Section 6.14(a)(i) (or Adjustment Objection Statement, as applicable), then such agreed amounts of Adjusted Leakage, Adjusted Contributed Amount and Adjusted Purchase Price, in each case, shall be deemed to be final and binding on the Parties and such Adjusted Purchase Price shall be deemed to be the “Final Purchase Price”, and Section 6.14(b) shall not apply.
(b)    Adjusted Purchase Price Dispute.
(i)    If Buyer and Seller are unable to resolve any disputed items set forth on an Adjustment Objection Statement prior to the twentieth (20th) Business Day following the delivery of such Adjustment Objection Statement (or, if both Parties deliver an Adjustment Objection Statement, the date of delivery of the second Adjustment Objection Statement that is delivered), then Buyer or Seller may refer any such disputed items that remain outstanding to a regionally or nationally recognized independent accounting firm as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree (the “Selected Firm”) to make a final determination with respect to such remaining disputed items within forty five (45) days following the date such matter is referred to such Selected Firm. The resolution of any disputed item by the Selected Firm will not be more favorable to Buyer or more favorable to Seller than the Adjusted Leakage, the Adjusted Contributed Amount or the Adjusted Purchase Price, as applicable, in their respective Adjustment Statements or Adjustments Objection Statements, as applicable. Seller and Buyer shall instruct the Selected Firm to consider only those items and amounts which are identified in the Adjustment Objection Statement(s) and which have not already been resolved by Seller and Buyer. The Selected Firm’s determination (i) shall be limited to applying the definitions of “Leakage” and “Contributed Amounts” contained herein to the matters in dispute as set forth in the Adjustment Objection Statement and (ii) shall not ascribe to any item in dispute a value that is higher than the highest value ascribed to such item by either party in the Adjustment Statement or Adjustment Objection Statement, as applicable, or lower than the lowest value ascribed to such item by either party in the Adjustment Statement or Adjustment Objection Statement, as applicable. The Selected Firm will act as an expert only, and not as an arbitrator, and will not be engaged to, and will not, make any ruling or provide any opinion on any matter that could constitute a breach of any representation or covenant contained herein. The Selected Firm’s determination of the disputed items will be final and binding on the Parties. Buyer and Seller will enter into the Selected Firm’s standard engagement letter and the fees and expenses of the Selected Firm will be borne by Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, as determined by the Selected Firm, which determination will be based on the relative success of the Parties in

64


their respective positions with respect to the aggregate dollar value of the disputed items, as determined by the Selected Firm whose determination on the allocation of fees and expenses will be final and binding on all Parties.
(ii)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event the Adjusted Leakage, the Adjusted Contributed Amount or the Adjusted Purchase Price, as applicable, is referred to a Selected Firm and such Selected Firm delivers a final, binding and conclusive calculation of such disputed items, then, solely with respect to such disputed items, the written determination delivered by the Selected Firm in accordance with Section 6.14(b) will be final and binding upon the Parties and such Adjusted Purchase Price shall be deemed to be the “Final Purchase Price” for all purposes of this Agreement.
(c)    Payment Following Determination of Adjusted Purchase Price.
(i)    If the Final Purchase Price is equal to or exceeds the Closing Purchase Price, then no later than the third Business Day after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section 6.14(b), (A) the Parties will amend the Promissory Note to reflect an increase in the principal balance of the Promissory Note by an amount equal to the sum of (1) such excess amount multiplied by (2) the Promissory Note Multiplier, and (B) with respect to the balance of such excess amount, Buyer shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Seller an amount equal to the balance of such excess amount multiplied by the Cash Payment Amount Multiplier, in each case, rounded to the nearest whole cent.
(ii)    If the Final Purchase Price is less than the Closing Purchase Price, then no later than the third Business Day after the date on which the Final Purchase Price is finally determined pursuant to Section 6.14(a) or Section 6.14(b), (A) the Parties will amend the Promissory Note to reflect a decrease in the principal balance of the Promissory Note by an amount equal to the sum of (1) such shortfall amount multiplied by (2) the Promissory Note Multiplier, and (B) with respect to the balance of such shortfall amount, Seller shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Buyer an amount equal to the balance of such shortfall amount multiplied by the Cash Payment Amount Multiplier, in each case, rounded to the nearest whole cent.
(d)    Survival. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, this Section 6.14 shall survive the Closing in accordance with its terms.
Section 6.15    Use of Name. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, as between the Parties, all right, title and interest in and to Seller Trademarks are owned exclusively by Seller or its Affiliates. From and after the Closing, Buyer shall not use, and shall cause the Target Companies not to use, the names “Colony Capital”, “DigitalBridge” or “Colony”, or the “Colony” logo or any other names, trademarks, service marks, trade names, business names, corporate names, domain names, logos, trade dress or other source indicators that contain, comprise, are derived from or are confusingly similar to the names “Colony Capital”, “DigitalBridge” or “Colony”, or the “Colony” logo or any other name, trademark, service mark, trade name, business name, corporate name, domain name, logo, trade dress or other source indicator

65


owned by Seller or any of its Affiliates (other than the Target Companies) prior to the Closing (“Seller Trademarks”). In furtherance of the foregoing, except as provided herein, as soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, but in any event within six (6) months after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause the Target Companies to, remove, strike over or otherwise obliterate all Seller Trademarks from all assets and other materials owned by the Target Companies, or discontinue any and all use of such assets and materials; provided, however, that the continued appearance of the Seller Trademarks on any such assets and materials bearing the Seller Trademarks prior to Closing that are used in the ordinary internal operation of the business and are not reasonably susceptible to access or observation by the public shall be permitted until such assets and materials are retired in the ordinary course of business. For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be deemed to have violated this Section 6.15 or to have infringed the rights of Seller or its Affiliates by reason of the use of the Seller Trademarks in a non-trademark manner for purposes of conveying to customers, suppliers, any Governmental Entity or the general public that there was a change in ownership, or the historical origins of the business of the Target Companies. Subject to this Section 6.15, neither Buyer, nor, following the Closing, any Target Company, shall use, seek to register, register or authorize others to use, seek to register or register any Seller Trademark or any other Intellectual Property substantially or confusingly similar thereto anywhere in the world, or challenge Seller’s right to use, seek to register or register any Seller Trademark anywhere in the world.
Section 6.16    Confidentiality.
(a)    The Parties agree (i) to be bound by and comply with the provisions set forth in the Confidentiality Agreement, which provisions are hereby incorporated herein by reference disregarding the termination thereof upon the execution of this Agreement, and (ii) that such incorporated provisions of the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate upon the Closing.
(b)    Following the Closing until the date that is five (5) years after the Closing Date, Seller shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly, disclose or divulge any confidential information of the Target Companies or Buyer, including information relating to their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, and all confidential and proprietary data and information relating to the customers, financial statements, conditions or operations of the Target Companies; provided that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to information (i) which becomes available to Seller on a non-confidential basis from a third-party source that is not under any obligations of confidentiality with respect to such information, (ii) which is in the public domain or enters into the public domain independently without violation by Seller or its Affiliates of this Section 6.16(b), or (iii) which Seller is required to disclose by Law or under the rules and regulations of any stock exchange upon which the securities of Seller, or its direct or indirect parent entity, is listed, or the requirements of any self-regulatory body, in which case, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, rule, regulation or requirement, the party required to make the release or announcement shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allow Buyer reasonable time to review and comment on such release or announcement in advance of such issuance, which comments shall be considered by Seller in good faith. In the event Seller or any of its Affiliates is required by Law to disclose such information, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing unless prohibited by Law, which notification shall include the nature of such legal requirement and the extent of the required disclosure, and shall cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s sole expense, to obtain assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded such information.

66


Section 6.17    Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Buyer an estoppel certificate provided by Buyer and reasonably approved by Seller with respect to the Leases set forth on Schedule 6.17, dated no more than ninety (90) days prior to the Closing Date, from the other party to such Lease; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, obtaining the same shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder.
Section 6.18    D&O Resignations. To the extent that Buyer requests that Seller cause any director or officer of a Target Company to resign in such capacity at least two (2) Business Days prior to Closing, Seller shall cause any such individual to deliver a written resignation to Buyer, at and effective as of the Closing, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.
Section 6.19    Exclusive Dealings. Except for the transactions contemplated hereby, during the period from the date hereof through the Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance with Article IX, Seller shall not, and shall cause each of the Target Companies and any representatives of the foregoing Persons not to, submit, solicit from or discuss with any Person (other than Buyer and its representatives) any proposal, or enter into any binding or non-binding Contract, letter of intent or memorandum of understanding, or take any action to knowingly encourage, initiate or engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person (other than Buyer and its Representatives), concerning any sale or disposition of all or any portion of the equity interests of, or sale or disposition of all or any portion of the assets of (including whether structured as an acquisition, recapitalization, exchange of equity interests, merger or consolidation), any Target Company. Seller shall, and shall cause each of the Target Companies and any representatives of the foregoing Persons, to cease and cause to be terminated any of the actions described in the foregoing sentence.
Section 6.20    Further Assurances. Seller and Buyer agree that, from and after the Closing Date, each of them shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, to execute and deliver such further instruments of conveyance and transfer and take such other action as may be reasonably requested by such Party to carry out the purposes and intents of this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not enlarge or expand the parties’ respective obligations set forth in the other provisions of this Agreement.
Section 6.21    Employees.
(a)    Service Providers. Seller shall update Schedule 3.15(c) not less than the 30th day following the date hereof (and from time to time thereafter) to reflect new hires, leaves of absence (including expected date of return), and employment terminations and shall provide a final update of such schedule no later than seven (7) Business Days prior to the Closing Date.
(b)    Offers of Employment. Buyer shall, or shall cause one of its Affiliates to, not more than twenty (20) days following the date hereof and, in the case of any Person hired after the date hereof, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (or, in each case, such earlier time as may be required by applicable Law), extend offers of employment that are effective as of the Closing Date to each employee listed on Schedule 3.15(c), and each new hire listed on the final Schedule 3.15(c) (in each case, other than any Inactive Employee (as defined below)) (each, an “Offeree Employee”). All such offers of employment to Offeree Employees shall

67


provide for employment with Buyer or its Affiliate in the same or Comparable Position and on the Minimum Terms of Employment, in each case, commencing effective as of 12:01 A.M., local time, on the Closing Date. Each Offeree Employee who accepts Buyer’s or its Affiliate’s offer of employment and commences employment with Buyer or its Affiliate as described in the immediately following sentence shall be referred to herein as a “Transferred Employee”. For a period of nine (9) months following the Closing Date (the “Covered Period”), Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee with (i) an annual salary rate, hourly wage rate or base compensation rate, as applicable, and target bonus or other incentive opportunity (including cash and equity-based bonus and incentive awards) that, in the aggregate, is substantially comparable to the base compensation rate and target bonus or other incentive opportunity applicable to such Transferred Employee as of immediately prior to the Closing (provided that, the form of compensation need not be the same as the form of compensation currently received by such Transferred Employee from Seller or its Affiliates), (ii) retirement, health and welfare benefits that are substantially comparable in the aggregate to those provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer and its Affiliates, (iii) the right to receive severance benefits upon a termination of employment without Cause prior to the end of the Covered Period that are no less than the severance benefits provided to such Transferred Employee under any retention Contract between such Transferred Employee, on the one hand, and Seller, any Target Company or any of their Affiliates, on the other hand (as such retention Contract may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time prior to the Closing as permitted under this Agreement) (for the avoidance of doubt, with the severance payment amount to be determined under the severance formula set forth therein taking into account the length of service of the Transferred Employee with the Seller or any of its Affiliates prior to the Closing and the service with Buyer or any of its Affiliates following Closing) (such terms described in clauses (i) - (iii), the “Minimum Terms of Employment”). Buyer hereby covenants and agrees not to terminate any Transferred Employee during the Covered Period, except for Cause. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall have no obligation to extend offers of employment to any Service Provider at the managing director level (or comparable title) or above who is hired by Seller, any Target Company or any of their respective Affiliates, from the date hereof until the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, except to the extent required by applicable Law, following the expiration of the Covered Period, Buyer shall have no obligation to provide or maintain any Minimum Terms of Employment with respect to any Transferred Employee other than the obligation to pay in full to any Transferred Employee terminated by Buyer without Cause during the Covered Period, all severance earned by, but not paid to, such Transferred Employee at the expiration of the Covered Period, and the offers of employment to be made by Buyer to the Offeree Employees may provide, in Buyer’s sole discretion, that some or all of the Minimum Terms of Employment will automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect upon the expiration of the Covered Period. As used in this Section 6.21, “Cause” shall mean a conviction of, or a plea of no contest to, a felony under the laws of the United States of America, any state or territory thereon or any foreign jurisdiction, willful misconduct, insubordination, misappropriation, fraud, gross neglect or material failure to perform.
(c)    Special Provisions for Inactive Employees. With respect to any employee listed on the final Schedule 3.15(c) who is not actively at work on the Closing Date as a result of an approved leave of absence, whether paid or unpaid, including military leave with reemployment rights under federal law, leave under the Family Medical Leave Act of 1993 and short-term or long-term disability leave (an “Inactive Employee”), Buyer shall, or shall cause one

68


of its Affiliates to, make an offer of employment in the manner required by Section 6.21(b) to each Inactive Employee, provided that any such offer shall (i) be contingent upon (x) such Inactive Employee’s return to active employment status within six (6) months following the Closing Date (or such longer period as required by applicable Law), and (y) the circumstances being such that such Inactive Employee’s employer as of immediately prior to the Closing Date would have been required to re-employ or continue to employ such Inactive Employee in accordance with applicable Law and such employer’s applicable policies, practices and procedures in effect on the date hereof, if the transactions contemplated by this Agreement had not occurred, and (ii) be effective as of the date that such Inactive Employee returns to active employment status. An Inactive Employee who accepts the offer of employment in accordance with this Section 6.21(c) and actually commences employment with Buyer or its Affiliate shall be considered a Transferred Employee effective as of 12:01 A.M. local time on the date such Inactive Employee actually commences employment with Buyer or its Affiliate; provided that Seller shall retain all liability for all compensation and benefits payable to such Inactive Employee from the Closing Date until the date that such Inactive Employee becomes a Transferred Employee.
(d)    Service Credit. Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall recognize the service credited to a Transferred Employee as of the Closing Date to the extent recognized under comparable Plans for purposes of eligibility or vesting under Buyer’s employee benefits plans, programs, arrangements and policies in which a Transferred Employee may be eligible to participate (each, a “Buyer Plan”); provided that such service shall not be recognized to the extent that such recognition would result in a duplication of benefits or for purposes of benefit accruals under any defined benefit pension plan or retiree health or welfare plan or arrangement. In addition, Buyer or its Affiliates, as applicable, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to waive any waiting period under any Buyer Plan. With respect to any welfare benefit plans (within the meaning of Section 3(1) of ERISA) maintained by Buyer or its Affiliates effective as of the Closing Date in which a Transferred Employee may be eligible to participate on or after the Closing Date, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (a) cause to be waived any pre-existing condition limitations, (b) give effect in determining deductible and maximum out-of-pocket limitations to claims incurred and amounts paid by and amounts reimbursed to, such employees with respect to similar Plans during the relevant plan year prior to the Closing Date and (c) permit those Transferred Employees who are eligible as of the Closing Date to participate in Buyer’s welfare plans to participate as soon as practicable in any applicable welfare plan of Buyer, in each case to the extent that all information reasonably requested by Buyer or its Affiliates to implement such actions has been received from Seller or its insurance carrier.
(e)    W-2 Reporting. In respect of each employee who becomes a Transferred Employee, Seller and Buyer shall adopt the “alternative procedure” for preparing and filing IRS Forms W-2 (Wage and Tax Statements), as described in Revenue Procedure 2004-53. Under this procedure, Buyer, as successor employer, shall provide, as applicable, all required Forms W-2 to all employees who become Transferred Employees reflecting all wages paid and Taxes withheld by Seller and its Affiliates as the predecessor and Buyer and its Affiliates as the successor employer for the entire year in which the Closing Date occurs. Seller shall provide all required Forms W-2 to all other employees of Seller and its Affiliates who are not Transferred Employees reflecting all wages and taxes paid and withheld by Seller and its Affiliates before and after the

69


Closing Date. In addition, Seller and Buyer shall adopt the “alternative procedure” of Revenue Procedure 2004-53 for purposes of filing IRS Forms W-4 (Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate) and W-5 (Earned Income Credit Advance Payment Certificate). Under this procedure, Seller shall provide to Buyer all IRS Forms W-4 and W-5 on file with respect to each Transferred Employee, and Buyer will honor these forms until such time, if any, that such Transferred Employee submits a revised form to Buyer. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, provide to Buyer all information and documentation necessary or desirable to effect this Section 6.21(e), including, without limitation, providing Buyer with copies of (i) all applicable tax forms and other information relating to the Transferred Employees’ wages and other compensation earned, and taxes withheld, during the year in which the Closing occurs, (ii) all applicable garnishments, tax levies, child support orders, and wage assignments relating to the Transferred Employees, and (iii) such other information in Seller’s possession or employee consents as may reasonably be requested by Buyer.
(f)    WARN Act. Buyer shall provide any required notice under and to otherwise comply with, and to retain all liabilities relating to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act, 29 U.S.C. § 2109 et seq. (“WARN”), or the regulations promulgated thereunder (including comparable foreign, federal, state, local or other applicable Laws) with respect to any event affecting Transferred Employees after the Closing Date. Seller shall provide any required notice under and to otherwise comply with, and to retain all liabilities relating to, WARN, and any similar state, local or foreign laws, with respect to any event affecting Service Providers on or prior to the Closing Date (including as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement). Within five (5) Business Days following the Closing Date, Seller shall notify Buyer of any “employment loss” (as defined in WARN) experienced by any Service Provider who is an employee of Seller or its Affiliate during the 90-day period prior to the Closing Date.
(g)    Termination. Seller and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not constitute a severance or termination of employment of any Service Provider prior to or upon the Closing for purposes of any severance or termination benefit plan, program, policy, agreement or arrangement of Seller or any of its Affiliates, and that Transferred Employees shall have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and except with respect to Offeree Employees, Buyer shall not have any responsibility for, and Seller shall retain and hold Buyer harmless and indemnify Buyer with respect to, any and all liabilities (including statutory or contractual severance benefits) arising as a result of the actual or constructive termination of a Service Provider’s employment or service with Seller or any of its Affiliates as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(h)    No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to or shall (i) be treated as an amendment to, or be construed as amending, any Plan or other benefit plan, program or agreement sponsored, maintained or contributed to by Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates, (ii) prevent Buyer or its Affiliates from amending, terminating or otherwise modifying any benefit plan in accordance with its terms, (iii) prevent Buyer or its Affiliates, on or after the Closing Date, from terminating the employment of any Transferred Employee, or (iv) confer any rights or remedies (including third party beneficiary rights) on any current or former director, employee, consultant or independent contractor of Seller, Buyer or any of their respective Affiliates or any beneficiary or dependent thereof or any other Person.

70


Section 6.22    Transition Services Agreement. During the period between the date hereof and the Closing, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith and reasonably cooperate in preparing, supplementing and finalizing the Transition Services Agreement, any schedules or exhibits to the Transition Services Agreement and all other documents, contracts or instruments to be delivered in connection therewith by any Party or any Affiliate thereof at or prior to the Closing, in each case, on substantially the terms set forth on Exhibit A. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein, the finalized schedules and exhibits to each of the Transition Services Agreement shall be attached to the applicable forms thereof to be executed and delivered by the Parties (or their Affiliates) at the Closing.
Section 6.23    Exchangeable Notes. From and after the Closing, Buyer will, and will cause its controlled Affiliates (including, following the Closing, the Target Companies), to comply with the Company’s obligations under the Exchangeable Notes Indenture arising from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, effecting an offer to repurchase the Exchangeable Notes on the terms set forth in, the Exchangeable Notes Indenture.
Section 6.24    Remittance of Certain Tax Refunds or Credits. From and after the Closing, Buyer will, or will cause its Affiliates (including the Target Companies) to, promptly remit to Seller all refunds or credits of Taxes, in each case, received by Buyer or an Affiliate thereof (including any Target Company) after Closing solely to the extent (a) such refund or credit relates to Taxes actually paid by Seller or the Target Companies prior to the Closing Date, (b) such refund or credit does not arise as a result of a carryback of a loss or other Tax benefit from a taxable period (or portion thereof) beginning after the Closing Date, and (c) such refund or credit relates solely to the Hospitality Portfolio; provided, however, that, in no event shall Buyer or a Target Company be required to remit any such refunds or credits with respect to the Hospitality Portfolio to the extent such a remittance would reasonably be expected to result in a breach or violation of any material Contract (including any Loan Documents) or Law applicable to Buyer or such Target Company (in which event, Buyer or such Target Company shall not deploy for other uses any such amounts so affected and shall set aside such funds in a segregated account until such time as such remittance would be permitted).
Section 6.25    Access to Certain Records. From and after the date hereof (including after the Closing), Seller shall, upon reasonable prior written notice, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide Buyer with a true and correct copy of any Landlord MOB Lease reasonably requested by Buyer, to the extent such Landlord MOB Lease is in Seller’s possession. This Section 6.25 shall survive the Closing.
Section 6.26    Certain JV Partner Matters. The Parties agree to the provisions of, and to take the actions set forth in Schedule II. Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties agree that, except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, references to Section 6.26 and any subsections, clauses, subclauses or other provisions of Section 6.26 in this Agreement (including in Schedule II) shall be deemed to mean Section 6.26 as set forth in Schedule II and any sections, subsections, clauses, subclauses or other provisions of Section 6.26 as set forth in Schedule II.

(d)    since the date of this Agreement, there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect; and
(e)    Prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have caused FC Ranger, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is a REIT Target Company to have liquidated or converted to an entity taxable as a partnership or a disregarded entity for federal income tax purposes by filing with the IRS a Form 8832 making such conversion election.

73

Section 9.2    Procedure and Effect of Termination. In the event of the termination of this Agreement and the abandonment of the transactions contemplated hereby pursuant to Section 9.1, written notice thereof shall forthwith be given by the terminating Party to the other Party, and this Agreement shall terminate and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be abandoned without further action by any Party; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is terminated (i) pursuant to Section 9.1(c), Section 9.1(e) or Section 9.1(g) then Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall promptly (and in any event within one Business

76


Day of such termination) deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as Seller designates in such joint written instruction; provided that, in the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(f), then Buyer shall pay Seller a fee in an amount equal to the Deposit (the “Deposit Fee”), and (ii) pursuant to any other Section of this Agreement other than Section 9.1(c), Section 9.1(e), Section 9.1(f) or Section 9.1(g) then Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall promptly (and in any event within one Business Day of such termination) deliver a joint instruction to the Escrow Agent instructing the Escrow Agent to pay the Deposit by wire transfer in immediately available funds to such account or accounts as Buyer designates in such joint written instruction. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of any breach or violation of this Agreement by Buyer, Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy is to terminate this Agreement (to the extent such termination right exists in accordance with Section 9.1(c), Section 9.1(f) or Section 9.1(g)) and to receive the Deposit and, if terminated pursuant to Section 9.1(f), to receive the Deposit Fee in lieu thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of Buyer’s termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 9.1, Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy (to the extent such termination right exists) is to receive the Deposit. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the agreements set forth in this Section 9.2, including to pay the amounts described in the preceding two sentences, are an integral part of the transaction contemplated hereby and that, without that agreement, the Parties would not have entered into this Agreement, and further that, the payment amounts described in the preceding two sentences do not constitute a penalty but rather liquidated damages in a reasonable amount to compensate the other Party for its efforts and resources expended and its opportunities foregone while negotiating this Agreement and in reliance on this Agreement and on the expectation of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby. If this Agreement is terminated as provided herein:
(a)    each Party shall return or destroy (at such Party’s option) all documents, work papers and other materials of the other Party relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, whether obtained before or after the date hereof, to the other Party, and all confidential information received by any Party with respect to the other Party or any Target Company shall be treated in accordance with the Confidentiality Agreement;
(b)    all filings, applications and other submissions made pursuant hereto shall, at the option of the terminating Party, and to the extent practicable, be withdrawn from the Governmental Entity or other Person to which made; and
(c)    this Agreement shall become null and void and of no further force and effect, and all further obligations of the Parties under this Agreement will terminate, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 9.2 and except for Section 6.2(b), Section 6.3, and Section 10.1.
ARTICLE X

NO SURVIVAL
Section 10.1    Survival. The Parties, intending to modify any applicable statute of limitations, agree that (a) the representations and warranties in this Agreement and in any certificate delivered pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or Section 8.3(b) shall terminate effective as of the Closing and shall not survive the Closing for any purpose, and thereafter there shall be no liability

77


or obligation on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Affiliates in respect thereof, except in the case of Fraud, and (b) after the Closing, there shall be no liability or obligation on the part of, nor shall any claim be made by, any Party or any of their respective Non-Recourse Parties in respect of any covenant or agreement in this Agreement to be performed prior to the Closing; provided, however, that the foregoing clauses (a) and (b) shall not limit or restrict Seller’s obligation following the Closing to pay Buyer for any Leakage pursuant to and in accordance with Section 6.13. The agreements and covenants of the Parties made in this Agreement that, by their nature or express terms, are to be performed following the Closing shall survive the Closing in accordance with the respective terms thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall limit or restrict the rights of any Person that is a party to an Ancillary Document to recover from, or make claims against, any other Persons that is expressly identified as a party to such Ancillary Document under and solely to the extent provided for in such Ancillary Document. From and after the Closing, except with respect to Fraud, Buyer and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to, and shall not seek, recovery or indemnification from Seller or any Non-Recourse Party of Seller with respect to any claims, matters or causes of action arising out of or related to any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement. From and after the Closing, except with respect to any recovery or indemnity arising from Section 6.7 or with respect to Fraud, Seller and its Affiliates shall not be entitled to, and shall not seek, recovery or indemnification from Buyer or any Non-Recourse Party of Buyer with respect to any claims, matters or causes of action arising out of or related to any breach of, or inaccuracy in, any representation or warranty of Buyer contained in this Agreement.
ARTICLE XI

Section 11.3    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law, rule of Law or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement (or the remaining portion thereof) shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually agreeable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible.
Section 11.4    Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder shall be assigned, directly or indirectly, including by operation of law, by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party.
Section 11.5    No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is exclusively (a) for the benefit of Seller, and its successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Buyer under this Agreement, and (b) for the benefit of Buyer, and its successors and permitted assigns, with respect to the obligations of Seller under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall not be deemed to confer upon or give to any other third party any right, claim, liability, reimbursement, cause of action, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, except for: (i) the provisions set forth in Section 6.7 with respect to the D&O Indemnitees, each of whom is an express third-party beneficiary of Section 6.7 and this Section 11.5, (ii) the provisions set forth in Section 10.1 and Section 11.16 with respect to the Non-Recourse Parties and officers of the applicable Party referenced therein, as applicable, each of whom is an express third party beneficiary of Section 10.1, and Section 11.16, as applicable, and this Section 11.5, and (iii) the provisions set forth in Section 11.15 with respect to Willkie, who is an express third party beneficiary of Section 11.15 and this Section 11.5.
Section 11.6    Consent to Jurisdiction; Service of Process. Each Party hereby irrevocably agrees that any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby shall be brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (or, if the Delaware Court of Chancery declines to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, then any state or federal court within the State of Delaware), and each Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts in any such suit, action or other proceeding. A final judgment in any such suit, action or other proceeding may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by Law. Each Party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or other proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby in such courts, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or other proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

80


Each Party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document to such Party pursuant to Section 11.2 shall be effective service of process for any such action, suit or other proceeding.
Section 11.7    Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT OR OTHER PROCEEDING (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THE ACTIONS OF SUCH PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT HEREOF. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF THE OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER, (B) EACH PARTY UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (C) EACH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (D) EACH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 11.7.
Section 11.8    Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto), the Ancillary Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement together constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that, in entering into this Agreement, such Party has not relied on any promises or assurances, written or oral, which are not reflected in this Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits attached hereto), the Ancillary Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that the information being provided to it in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Ancillary Documents is subject to the terms of the Confidentiality Agreement, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference. Effective upon, and only upon, the Closing, the Confidentiality Agreement shall terminate with respect to information relating solely to the Target Companies; provided, however, that Buyer acknowledges that any and all other confidential information provided to it by Seller or any Representative thereof concerning Seller shall remain subject to the terms and conditions of the Confidentiality Agreement after the Closing Date.
Section 11.9    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware as to all matters, including matters of validity, construction, effect, performance and remedies, except for any conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction.
Section 11.10    Specific Performance. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that the rights of each Party to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby are unique and recognizes and affirms that in the event of a breach of this Agreement by either Party, money damages would be inadequate and the non-breaching Party would have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Parties agree that such non-breaching Party shall have the right, in addition to any other rights and remedies existing in its favor at law or in equity, to enforce its rights and the other Party’s obligations hereunder not only by an action or actions for damages but also by an action or actions for specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief

81


(without posting of bond or other security). Each Party further agrees that the only permitted objection that it may raise in response to any action for equitable relief is that it contests the existence of a breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, and without limitation of the other rights and remedies of Seller set forth herein, in no event shall Seller or any of its Affiliates be entitled to, or permitted to seek, a grant of specific performance that causes the Closing to occur or causes Buyer or any of its Affiliates to consummate the Closing or pay all or any portion of the Closing Cash Payment Amount.
Section 11.11    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by facsimile, email, .PDF file format, DocuSign or other electronic form shall be as effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
Section 11.12    Amendment; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended, modified or supplemented at any time only by an instrument in writing signed by each of the Parties. No waiver of any provision hereof shall be effective unless signed in writing by the Party waiving its rights and benefits under such provision.
Section 11.13    Schedules. The disclosure of any fact or item in any Schedule hereto referenced by a particular Section in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been disclosed with respect to any other Section in this Agreement, notwithstanding the omission of an appropriate cross-reference, if the relevance of such fact or item to such other Section is reasonably apparent on its face. The specification of any dollar amount in the representations or warranties contained in this Agreement or the inclusion of any specific item in any Schedules hereto is not intended to imply that such amounts, or higher or lower amounts or the items so included or other items, are or are not material, and neither Party shall use the fact of the setting of such amounts or the inclusion of any such item in any dispute or controversy as to whether any obligation, items or matter not described herein or included in a Schedule is or is not material for purposes of this Agreement. Any item of information, matter or document disclosed or referenced in, or attached to, the Schedules shall not, in and of itself, (a) be used as a basis for interpreting the terms “material,” “Material Adverse Effect” or other similar terms in this Agreement or to establish a standard of materiality, (b) represent a determination that such item or matter did not arise in the Ordinary Course, (c) be deemed or interpreted to expand the scope or effect of Seller’s or Buyer’s respective representations and warranties, obligations, covenants, conditions or agreements contained herein, (d) constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission of liability or obligation regarding such matter, (e) represent a determination that the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement requires the consent of any third party, (f) constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission to any third party concerning such item or matter, or (g) constitute, or be deemed to constitute, an admission or indication by Seller or Buyer that such item meets any or all of the criteria set forth in this Agreement for inclusion in the Schedules. In disclosing the information on the Schedules, none of Seller, any of the Target Companies or any of their respective Affiliates waives any attorney-client privilege associated with such information or any protection afforded by the work-product doctrine with respect to any of the matters disclosed or discussed therein. No reference in the Schedules to any Contract shall, in and of itself, be construed as an admission or indication that such Contract is enforceable or currently in effect or that there are any obligations remaining to be performed or any rights that

82


may be exercised under such Contract. No disclosure in the Schedules relating to any possible breach or violation of any agreement or Law shall be construed as an admission or indication that any such breach or violation exists or has actually occurred. Capitalized terms used in the Schedules and not otherwise defined therein have the meanings given to them in this Agreement.
Section 11.14    Time of Essence. With regard to all dates and time periods set forth in this Agreement, time is of the essence.
Section 11.15    Conflicts; Privileges.
(a)    Acknowledgement of Representation. It is acknowledged by each of the Parties that Seller and its Affiliates have retained Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP (“Willkie”) to act as their counsel in connection with this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents, the Confidentiality Agreement and any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby (the “Current Representation”), and that no other Party has the status of a client of Willkie for conflict of interest or any other purposes as a result thereof.
(b)    Affirmation of Representation. Buyer hereby agrees that after the Closing, Willkie may represent Seller, any Affiliate of Seller and any equity holder, shareholder, partner, member or Representative of Seller (any such Person, a “Designated Person”) in any matter involving or arising from the Current Representation, including any interpretation or application of this Agreement, the Ancillary Documents or the Confidentiality Agreement, and including for the avoidance of doubt any litigation, arbitration, dispute or mediation between or among Buyer, any Target Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and any Designated Person, even though the interests of such Designated Person may be directly adverse to Buyer, a Target Company or any of their respective Affiliates, and even though Willkie may have represented a Target Company in a substantially related matter, or may be representing Buyer, a Target Company or any of their respective Affiliates in ongoing matters.
