SERITAGE GROWTH PROPERTIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

Seritage Growth Properties (“Seritage”) (NYSE: SRG), was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on June 3, 2015, operated as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) from formation through December 31, 2021. On March 31, 2022, Seritage revoked its REIT election and became a taxable C Corporation effective January 1, 2022. Seritage’s assets are held by and its operations are primarily conducted, directly or indirectly, through Seritage Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Under the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, Seritage, as the sole general partner, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the Operating Partnership. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company” and “Seritage” refer to Seritage, the Operating Partnership and its owned and controlled subsidiaries.

Prior to the adoption of the Company’s Plan of Sale (defined below), Seritage was principally engaged in the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of diversified retail and mixed-use properties throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s portfolio consisted of interests in nine properties comprised of approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) or build-to-suit leased area and 139 acres of land. The portfolio encompasses four consolidated properties consisting of approximately 0.3 million square feet of GLA and 56 acres (such properties, the “Consolidated Properties”) and five unconsolidated entities consisting of approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA and 83 acres (such properties, the “Unconsolidated Properties”).

The Company commenced operations on July 7, 2015 following a rights offering to the shareholders of Sears Holdings Corporation (“Sears Holdings” or “Sears”) to purchase common shares of Seritage in order to fund, in part, the $2.7 billion acquisition of certain of Sears Holdings’ owned properties and its 50% interests in three joint ventures which were simultaneously leased back to Sears Holdings under a master lease agreement (the “Original Master Lease” and the “Original JV Master Leases,” respectively).

On March 1, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees had commenced a process to review a broad range of strategic alternatives. The Board of Trustees created a Special Committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Trustees to oversee the process. The Special Committee retained Barclays Capital, Inc. (“Barclays”) as its financial advisor. The agreement with Barclays expired in August 2023. The Company’s strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes sales pursuant to the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction or that the Company will be successful in fully executing the Plan of Sale. The Board of Trustees is currently overseeing the Plan of Sale.

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees, with the recommendation of the Special Committee, approved a plan to terminate the Company’s REIT status and become a taxable C Corporation, effective for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company is no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income to its shareholders, which provides the Company with greater flexibility to use its free cash flow. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at applicable tax rates and is no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid. The Company operated as a REIT since inception and through the 2021 tax year, and existing REIT requirements and limitations, including those established by the Company’s organizational documents, remained in place until December 31, 2021.

As a result of the Company’s change in corporate structure to a taxable C Corporation effective January 1, 2022, the Company incurred a one-time, non-cash deferred tax benefit of approximately $161.3 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2022. The Company also recorded a full valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset pursuant to ASC 740, Income Taxes, as discussed in more detail below.

The Company sought a shareholder vote to approve a proposed plan of sale of the Company’s assets and dissolution (the “Plan of Sale”) that would allow the Board of Trustees to sell all of the Company’s assets, distribute the net proceeds to shareholders and dissolve the Company. The Plan of Sale is expected to increase the universe of potential buyers by allowing Seritage and potential buyers to enter into and complete value maximizing transactions without subjecting any such transaction to the delay and conditionality associated with having to seek and obtain shareholder approval. On July 6, 2022, Edward Lampert, the Company’s former Chairman, entered into a Voting and Support Agreement under which he exchanged his equity interest in the Operating Partnership for Class A common shares and agreed to vote his shares in favor of the Plan of Sale. As of June 30, 2026, Mr. Lampert owns approximately 23.8% of the Company’s outstanding Class A common shares, and Seritage, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is the sole owner of all outstanding Operating Partnership interests.

- 8 -


 

The affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all outstanding common shares of the Company was required to approve the Plan of Sale. The 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders occurred on October 24, 2022, following the Company's filing of a final proxy statement with the SEC on September 14, 2022. During the meeting, the Plan of Sale was approved by the shareholders. The strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction or that the Company will be successful in fully executing on the Plan of Sale. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Operations — There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any transaction or any strategic change on terms satisfactory to the Board of Trustees.” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, (the “Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Liquidity

The Company’s primary uses of cash include the payment of property operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”), and certain development expenditures. Property rental income, which is the Company’s primary source of operating cash flow, did not fully fund Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the Company recorded net operating cash outflows of $7.3 million. Additionally, the Company generated net investing cash inflows of $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which were driven by distributions from unconsolidated entities and real estate sales and partially offset by development expenditures and investments in unconsolidated entities.

Obligations are projected to continue to exceed property rental income and the Company expects to fund such costs with a combination of capital sources including, but not limited to, cash on hand, sales of Consolidated Properties and sales of Unconsolidated Properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $11.0 million and received a distribution from an unconsolidated joint venture of $5.7 million due to the sale of a portion of an Unconsolidated Property. The Company did not make any paydowns on the Term Loan Facility during the six months ended June 30, 2026, however it paid off the Term Loan Facility subsequent to period end and entered into a new revolving loan facility as described further below and in Note 6, Debt.

In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As part of this evaluation, the Company takes into consideration all Obligations and certain development expenditures due within the subsequent 12 months, as well as cash on hand and expected cash receipts, plus drawdowns from our new revolving loan facility as described below.

In the prior period ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that management’s plans did not alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern because anticipated proceeds from asset sales and cash on hand were insufficient to meet its obligations, including the Term Loan Facility that was scheduled to mature on July 31, 2026.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $3.0 million and received a distribution from an unconsolidated joint venture of $8.9 million due to the sale of a portion of an Unconsolidated Property. Additionally, on July 24, 2026, the Company entered into (i) a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Real Estate Loan”) providing for a $15.0 million term loan and (ii) a Business Loan Agreement (the “Revolver”), as amended by an omnibus agreement, providing for a $25.0 million revolving loan. At closing of the Revolver, the Company drew $15.0 million, and has $10.0 million available and unfunded. The Company used the proceeds from the closing of the Real Estate Loan and the initial draw under the Revolver, together with cash on hand, to fully repay the $50.0 million outstanding balance on the existing term loan facility that was scheduled to mature on July 31, 2026. The Real Estate Loan is collateralized by the Company’s interest in three Consolidated Properties and bears interest at an annual rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.75% which interest rate shall be reduced to one-month SOFR plus 2.25% if the outstanding balance is reduced to $10.0 million or less. The Revolver is collateralized by $25.0 million of cash held in a restricted account with the lender. Drawn amounts under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to a spread of 2.0% above the money market rate on the cash collateral which is currently 3.5% for 12 months from closing and thereafter resets annually. Both the Real Estate Loan and the Revolver mature on July 24, 2028 and have a one-year extension option, subject to the adherence of certain conditions defined in the Real Estate Loan and Revolver.

The Company does not currently have any assets under contract with closings that are deemed probable within the 12 month period. As the outstanding balance of the new term loan facility and the revolving loan facility is not due within the one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, they are not factored into the Company’s analysis as current obligations.

Management estimates existing cash on hand, the ability to draw on the remaining unfunded Revolver, and expected rental income would allow the Company to fund its Obligations and certain development expenditures. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of June 30, 2026.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, (the “Annual Report”), for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our Annual Report have been condensed or omitted from this quarterly report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation (which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been included in this quarterly report. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2026. Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this quarterly report, have the same meanings as set forth in our Annual Report.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their consolidated properties, and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), the Company consolidates such entities when the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it possesses both the unilateral power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates whether it qualifies as the primary beneficiary and reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE upon reconsideration events. As of December 31, 2025, the Company consolidated one VIE in which we were considered the primary beneficiary, as the Company had the power to direct the activities of the entity. As of June 30, 2026, the Company does not have investments in any consolidated VIEs. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company has investments in five unconsolidated VIEs and does not consolidate these entities because the Company is not the primary beneficiary. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

To the extent such variable interests are in entities that are not evaluated under the VIE model, the Company evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, holds a 100% interest in the Operating Partnership and is the sole general partner which gives the Company exclusive and complete responsibility for the day-to-day management, authority to make decisions, and control of the Operating Partnership.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to real estate impairment assessments and assessing the recoverability of accounts receivable. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Segment Reporting

Given the continued decline in size of the portfolio and the continued progression of the Plan of Sale, the Company has concluded that they have one operating segment and one reportable segment as the Company is assessing performance and making operating decisions on an aggregated single segment basis. The Company currently operates in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of real estate properties. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), Adam Metz (the principal executive officer), assesses and measures the operating and financial results on an aggregated basis and does not allocate resources or make resource decisions based on individual properties’ operating results, geographies, sizes, or types. All revenue has been generated and all tangible assets are held in the United States.

Real Estate

- 10 -


 

Real estate assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.

Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred. Significant renovations which improve the property or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. To the extent any real estate is undergoing redevelopment activities, all amounts directly associated with and attributable to the project, including planning, development and construction costs, interest costs, personnel costs of employees directly involved, and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the period of redevelopment, are capitalized and classified as construction in progress. The capitalization period begins when redevelopment activities are underway and ends when the project is substantially complete. Capitalized costs remain in construction in progress until such time as the project is completed and placed in service, the project is abandoned, the asset is classified as held for sale or the asset is sold.

Depreciation of real estate assets, excluding land, is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which generally range between:

 

Building and building improvements:

25 – 40 years

Land improvements:

0 – 15 years

Tenant improvements:

shorter of the estimated useful life or non-cancelable term of lease

The Company amortizes identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired, generally the remaining non-cancelable term of a related lease.

The Company, on a periodic basis, assesses whether there are indicators that the value of the real estate assets may be impaired. If an indicator is identified, management will estimate the real estate asset recoverability based on projected operating cash flows (undiscounted and unleveraged), taking into account the anticipated holding period and capitalization rates, to determine if the undiscounted cash flows are less than a real estate asset’s carrying value. In estimating the fair value of an asset, various factors are considered, including expected future operating income, trends and leasing prospects, including the effects of demand, competition, and other economic factors, such as discount rates and market comparables. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an analysis is performed to determine the estimated fair value of the real estate asset. Changes in any estimates and/or assumptions, including the anticipated holding period, could have a material impact on the projected cash flows. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss will be recorded for the excess of its carrying amount over its estimated fair value. The Company recognized impairment losses of $15.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company did not recognize an impairment loss during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company recognized an impairment loss of $18.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.

Real Estate Dispositions

When the Company disposes of all or a portion of a real estate asset, it recognizes a gain or loss on sale of real estate as the difference between the carrying value and consideration received. Consideration consists of cash proceeds received and in certain circumstances, non-cash consideration when a property is contributed to an investment in unconsolidated entity. Gains and losses from the disposition of real estate are recorded as gain (loss) on sale of real estate on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 4 for more information on the Company’s unconsolidated entity transactions.

The following table summarizes the Company’s gain on sale of real estate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Real Estate Held for Sale

When a real estate asset is identified by management as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset and estimates its fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. If the estimated fair value, net of estimated costs to sell, of an asset is less than its net carrying value, an adjustment is recorded to reflect the estimated fair value. Properties classified as real estate held for sale generally represent properties that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within a year.

- 11 -


 

In evaluating whether a property meets the held for sale criteria, the Company makes a determination as to the point in time that it is probable that a sale will be consummated. Given the nature of all real estate sales contracts, it is not unusual for such contracts to allow potential buyers a period of time to evaluate the property prior to formal acceptance of the contract. In addition, certain other matters critical to the final sale, such as financing arrangements, often remain pending even upon contract acceptance. As a result, properties under contract may not close within the expected time period or at all.

As of June 30, 2026, one property was classified as held for sale with assets of $2.3 million and liabilities of $0.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, one property was classified as held for sale with assets of $8.7 million and no liabilities. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $3.0 million and received a distribution from an unconsolidated joint venture of $8.9 million due to the sale of a portion of an Unconsolidated Property.

Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company accounts for its investments in Unconsolidated Entities using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest. These investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, cash distributions, and earnings and losses which are recognized in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement.

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are indicators, including the operating performance of the underlying real estate and general market conditions which include macroeconomic conditions, that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities may be impaired. An investment’s value is impaired if management’s estimate of the fair value of the Company’s investment is less than its carrying value and such difference is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its estimated fair value.

The Company did not record an other-than-temporary impairment loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and the Company recorded $5.2 million in other-than-temporary impairment loss for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The Company did not record an other-than-temporary impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2025 and the Company recorded $8.5 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses in investments in unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at a limited number of banks and financial institutions, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.

Restricted Cash

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, restricted cash represents cash collateral for letters of credit.

Rental Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables

Rental income is comprised of base rent and reimbursements of property operating expenses. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the lessee takes control of the physical use of the leased asset based on an evaluation of several factors. Base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. For leases that have fixed and measurable base rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as straight-line rent receivable and included as a component of tenant and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursement of property operating expenses arises from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred.

The Company periodically reviews its receivables for collectability, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. Tenant receivables, including receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written-off directly when management deems that the collectability of substantially all future lease payments from a specified lease is not probable of collection, at which point, the Company will begin recognizing revenue on a cash basis, based on actual amounts received. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to rental income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. If future circumstances change such that the Company believes that it is reasonably certain that the Company will collect all rental income remaining on such leases, the Company will resume accruing rental income and recognize a cumulative catch up for previously written-off receivables.

- 12 -


 

In leasing tenant space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. In accounting for a tenant allowance, the Company will determine whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluate the ownership of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the Company will capitalize the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciate it over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the related lease term. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the allowance is considered a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.

Tenant and Other Receivables

Tenant and other receivables includes unpaid amounts billed to tenants, accrued revenues for future billings to tenants for property expenses, and amounts arising from the straight-lining of rent, as discussed above. Tenant and other receivables also includes management fees receivable for services performed for the benefit of certain unconsolidated entities. In the event that the collectability of a management fee receivable is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made.

Management and Other Fee Income

Management and other fee income represents property management, construction, leasing and development fees for services performed for the benefit of certain unconsolidated entities.

Property management fee income is reported at 100% of the revenue earned from such Unconsolidated Properties in management and other fee income on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s share of management expenses incurred by the unconsolidated entities is reported in equity in loss of unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in other expenses in the combined financial data in Note 4.

Leasing and development fees are initially reported at the portion of revenue earned attributable to outside ownership of the related unconsolidated entities. The Company’s share in leasing and development fee income is recognized over the useful life of the associated development project, in the case of development fees, or lease term, in the case of leasing fees, as the associated asset is depreciated over the same term and included in equity in loss of unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in other expenses in the combined financial data in Note 4.

Management determined that property and asset management and construction and development management services each represent a series of stand-ready performance obligations satisfied over time with each day of service being a distinct performance obligation. For property and asset management services, the Company is typically compensated for its services through a monthly management fee earned based on a specified percentage of monthly rental income or rental receipts generated from the property under management. For construction and development services, the Company is typically compensated for planning, administering and monitoring the design and construction of projects within our unconsolidated entities based on a percentage of project costs or a fixed fee. Revenues from such management contracts are recognized over the life of the applicable contract.

Conversely, leasing services are considered to be performance obligations, satisfied as of a point in time. The Company’s leasing fee is typically paid upon the occurrence of certain contractual event(s) that may be contingent and the pattern of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment. For these services, the obligations are typically satisfied at lease execution and tenant opening date, and revenue is recognized in accordance with the related agreement at the point in time when the obligation has been satisfied.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of operators, tenants, or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has two tenants that comprise 45.1% and 33.3%, respectively, of annualized base rent, with no other tenants exceeding 10.0% of annualized base rent. The Company’s portfolio of four Consolidated Properties and five Unconsolidated Properties was diversified by location across six states. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, of the four consolidated properties, approximately 87.2% of our total rental income was concentrated in Pennsylvania.

Earnings (Loss) per Share

The Company has three classes of common stock. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A common shares and Class C non-voting common shares are identical, except with respect to voting. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. The net earnings (loss) per share amounts are the same for Class A and Class C common shares because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal

- 13 -


 

per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation. Since August 29, 2018, all outstanding Class C common shares had been exchanged for Class A common shares and there are currently no Class C common shares outstanding.

Class B non-economic common shares are excluded from earnings per share computations as they do not have economic rights. As of December 31, 2020, all outstanding Class B common shares had been surrendered and there are currently no Class B common shares outstanding.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Clarifying the Effective Date” as an update to ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires enhanced disclosures regarding income statement expenses, including disaggregation of significant categories such as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, property operating expenses and employee compensation, within relevant expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”), which amends the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting. The update enhances interim disclosure requirements by clarifying the information that must be presented in quarterly periods, including improved transparency regarding significant events, accounting policy updates and material developments that occur between annual reporting dates. ASU 2025-11 also aligns certain interim reporting requirements more closely with annual disclosure objectives to promote consistency and comparability. The amendments are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures.

 

Note 3 – Lease Intangible Assets and Liabilities

Amortization of acquired below-market leases, net of acquired above-market leases, resulted in additional rental income of $7.8 thousand and $7.3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $19.4 thousand and $14.6 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Amortization of acquired in-place leases resulted in additional depreciation and amortization expense of $2.0 thousand and $48.3 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $4.9 thousand and $96.7 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

There were no acquired in-place leases or below-market leases as of June 30, 2026.

Amortization of an acquired below-market ground lease resulted in additional property expense of $50.7 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively and $101.4 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Note 4 – Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

The Company conducts a portion of its property rental activities through investments in unconsolidated entities. The Company’s partners in these unconsolidated entities are unrelated real estate entities or commercial enterprises. The Company and its partners in these unconsolidated entities make initial and/or ongoing capital contributions to these unconsolidated entities. The obligations to make capital contributions are governed by each unconsolidated entity’s respective operating agreement and related governing documents.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has investments in five unconsolidated entities as follows:

In certain circumstances, when the Company has contributed properties to unconsolidated entities in exchange for equity interests in those unconsolidated entities, the transaction price attributed to the property at the closing (the “Contribution Value”) is subject to revaluation as defined in the respective unconsolidated entity agreements, which may result in an adjustment to the gain or loss recognized. If the Contribution Value is subject to revaluation, the Company initially recognizes the gain or loss at the value that is the expected amount within the range of possible outcomes and will re-evaluate the expected amount on a quarterly basis through the final determination date.

Upon revaluation, the primary inputs in determining the Contribution Value will be updated for actual results and may result in a cash settlement or capital account adjustment between the unconsolidated entity partners, as well as an adjustment to the initial gain or loss.

- 15 -


 

Each reporting period, the Company re-analyzes the primary inputs that determine the Contribution Value and the gain or loss for those unconsolidated entities subject to a revaluation. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has one remaining instance where the Contribution Value is subject to a revaluation under certain conditions. The Company did not recognize any gains or loss on revaluation during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.

Equity in (loss) of unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes basis difference adjustments.

The Company shares in the profits and losses of these unconsolidated entities generally in accordance with the Company’s respective equity interests. In some instances, the Company may recognize profits and losses related to investment in an unconsolidated entity that differ from the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated entity. This may arise from impairments that the Company recognizes related to its investment that differ from the impairments the unconsolidated entity recognizes with respect to its assets, differences between the Company’s basis in assets it has transferred to the unconsolidated entity and the unconsolidated entity’s basis in those assets or other items. The Company utilizes appraisals and third-party prepared fair value estimates as well as negotiated offers to sell the investments for the impairment analysis. The Company did not record an other-than-temporary loss for the three months ended June 30, 2026 or for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The Company recorded $5.2 million and $8.5 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses in investments in unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included in equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has put rights for one asset in one of its unconsolidated entities, however, since this property is vacant, the 50% occupancy threshold to exercise this put right has not been met.

Note 6 – Debt

Term Loan Facility

On July 31, 2018, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company, as guarantor, entered into a Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement (the “Term Loan Agreement”) providing for a $2.0 billion term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) with Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska (“Berkshire Hathaway”) as lender and Berkshire Hathaway as administrative agent. The Term Loan Facility provided for an initial funding of $1.6 billion at closing (the “Initial Funding”) and includes a $400 million incremental funding facility (the “Incremental Funding Facility”) subject to certain conditions described below. On February 2, 2023, the Company made a $230 million voluntary prepayment, reducing the unpaid principal balance to $800 million, and the debt maturity was extended for two years to July 31, 2025. On July 30, 2025, the Company paid a 2% extension fee equal to $4.0 million extending the maturity date to July 31, 2026, as further described below. At June 30, 2026, the unpaid principal balance was $50 million. As described below, subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company repaid the Term Loan Facility in full.

Funded amounts under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at an annual rate of 7.0% and unfunded amounts under the Incremental Funding Facility are subject to an annual fee of 1.0% until drawn. The Company prepays the annual fee and amortizes the expense to interest expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, is required to be guaranteed by all existing and future subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Term Loan Facility is secured on a first lien basis by a pledge of the capital stock of the direct subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and the guarantors, including its joint venture interests, except as prohibited by the organizational documents of such entities or any joint venture agreements applicable to such entities, and contains a requirement to provide mortgages and other customary collateral upon the breach of certain financial metrics described below, the occurrence and continuation of an event of default and certain other conditions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, mortgages were recorded on three Consolidated Properties.

The Term Loan Facility includes certain financial metrics to govern springing collateral requirements and certain covenant exceptions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, including: (i) a total fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.20 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter; (ii) an unencumbered fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.30 to 1.00 for each fiscal quarter; (iii) a total leverage ratio of not more than 65%; (iv) an unencumbered ratio of not more than 60%; and (v) a minimum net worth of at least $1.2 billion. Any failure to satisfy any of these financial metrics limits the Company's ability to dispose of assets via sale or joint venture and triggers the springing mortgage and collateral requirements but will not result in an event of default. The Term Loan Facility also includes certain limitations relating to, among other activities, the Company’s ability to: sell assets or merge, consolidate or transfer all or substantially all of its assets; incur additional debt; incur certain liens; enter into, terminate or modify certain material leases and/or the material agreements for the Company’s properties; make certain investments (including limitations on joint ventures) and other restricted payments; pay distributions on or repurchase the Company’s capital stock; and enter into certain transactions with affiliates.

The Term Loan Facility contains customary events of default, including (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods) payment default, material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, and bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. If there is an event of default, the lenders may declare all or any portion of the outstanding indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, exercise any rights they might have under any of the Term Loan Facility documents, and require the Company to pay a default interest rate on overdue amounts equal to 2.0% in excess of the then applicable interest rate.

- 19 -


 

As of June 30, 2026, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the financial metrics described above. As a result, the Company was previously required to receive the consent of Berkshire Hathaway to dispose of assets via sale or contribution to another entity and as of June 16, 2022, Berkshire Hathaway had provided such consent for all such transactions submitted for approval. The Third Term Loan Amendment (defined below), executed on June 16, 2022, eliminates this requirement. The Company believes it is in compliance with all other terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement.

On May 5, 2020, the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway as initial lender and administrative agent that permits the deferral of payment of interest under the Term Loan Agreement if, as of the first day of each applicable month, (x) the amount of unrestricted and unencumbered (other than liens created under the Term Loan Agreement) cash on hand of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, minus (y) the aggregate amount of anticipated necessary expenditures for such period (such sum, “Available Cash”) is equal to or less than $30.0 million. In such instances, for each interest period, the Operating Partnership is obligated to make payments of interest in an amount equal to the difference between (i) Available Cash and (ii) $20.0 million (provided that such payment shall not exceed the amount of current interest otherwise due under the Term Loan Agreement). Any deferred interest shall accrue interest at 2.0% in excess of the then applicable interest rate and shall be due and payable on the Term Loan maturity date; provided, that the Operating Partnership is required to pay any deferred interest from Available Cash in excess of $30.0 million (unless otherwise agreed to by the administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement in its sole discretion). In addition, repayment of any outstanding deferred interest is a condition to any borrowings under the $400.0 million incremental funding facility under the Term Loan Agreement. The Company has paid all interest due under the Term Loan Agreement and has not deferred any interest as permitted under the Term Loan Amendment.

Additionally, the Term Loan Amendment provides that the administrative agent and the lenders express their continued support for asset dispositions, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the terms of individual transactions due to the occurrence of a Financial Metric Trigger Event, as such term is defined under the Term Loan Agreement.

On November 24, 2021, the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Second Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway to which the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway mutually agreed that (i) the “make whole” provision in the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement shall not be applicable to prepayments of principal; and (ii) the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, as amended for (i) above, may at the Operating Partnership's election be extended for two years from July 31, 2023 to July 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) if its principal has been reduced to $800 million by July 31, 2023. The outstanding principal balance was reduced to $800 million on February 2, 2023, and the Maturity Date was extended to July 31, 2025. In all other respects, the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement remained unchanged.

On June 16, 2022, the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Third Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway to which the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway mutually agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the asset sale covenant, the parent, borrower, and their respective subsidiaries will be permitted without the consent of the administrative agent to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of properties (including but not limited to properties or equity interests of any subsidiary) to unaffiliated third parties for no less than fair market value, provided that the borrower deposits all net proceeds received into a controlled account and the use of such net proceeds will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement, including but not limited to the restricted payments and investments/loans covenants.

On November 20, 2024, the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Fourth Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway pursuant to which the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway mutually agreed that the Term Loan Agreement may, at the Operating Partnership’s election, be extended for one year from the Maturity Date to July 31, 2026 if the Operating Partnership pays a 2% extension fee on the then outstanding principal balance as of the Maturity Date. On July 28, 2025, the Company exercised its extension option and on July 30, 2025, the Company paid a 2% extension fee equal to $4.0 million extending the maturity date to July 31, 2026. The Company also paid an incremental facility fee of $4.0 million. All other terms under the Term Loan Agreement shall remain unchanged during the extension period including the interest rate and the incremental facility fee in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement.

The extension fees paid were recorded as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the Term Loan Facility and amortized over the remaining term of the Term Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the unamortized balance of the Company’s extension fees was $0.3 million.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company has paid down $1.55 billion towards the Term Loan Facility’s unpaid principal balance. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Term Loan Facility as of June 30, 2026 was $50.0 million.

- 20 -


 

 

Real Estate Loan / Revolver

On July 24, 2026, certain affiliates of the Company entered into a Real Estate Loan providing for a $15.0 million term loan and a Revolver providing for a $25.0 million revolving loan. At closing, the Company drew $15.0 million under the Revolver and has $10.0 million available and unfunded. The Company used the proceeds of the Real Estate Loan and the Revolver together with cash on hand to repay the $50.0 million outstanding balance of the Term Loan Facility and to pay transaction and related costs. The Real Estate Loan is collateralized by the Company’s interest in three Consolidated Properties and bears interest at an annual rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.75% which interest rate shall be reduced to one-month SOFR plus 2.25% if the outstanding balance is reduced to $10.0 million or less. The Revolver is collateralized by $25.0 million of cash held in a restricted account with the lender. Drawn amounts under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to a spread of 2.0% above the money market rate on the cash collateral which is currently 3.5% for 12 months from closing and thereafter resets annually. Both the Real Estate Loan and the Revolver mature on July 24, 2028 and have a one-year extension option.

 

Note 7 – Income Taxes

As a result of the Company’s revocation of its REIT status in fiscal year 2022, the Company incurred a one-time, non-cash deferred tax benefit of approximately $161.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022. As a result of ongoing operations and sales activity, the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit of $3.5 million and $6.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $10.4 million and $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance of $264.8 million against the deferred tax asset (the “DTA”) pursuant to ASC 740, as discussed in more detail below. While the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance against its DTAs due to the uncertainty that it will be able to utilize them, if the Company is able to sell assets at prices above its tax basis, the DTAs will be utilized to offset any taxes due on those gains to the extent of the DTAs.

The Company’s effective tax rate of 0% differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% in 2026 primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.

The significant components of the Company’s deferred tax assets of $264.8 million as of June 30, 2026 consist of book to tax basis differences, net operating losses, and carryover net operating losses. As discussed below, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance on the deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria. ASC 740 states that deferred tax assets shall be reduced by a valuation allowance if there is insufficient objectively verifiable evidence to support that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. This evaluation requires significant judgment which should be weighted commensurate with the extent to which the evidence can be objectively verified. Additionally, under ASC 740, forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Given the Company’s history of cumulative losses combined with the fact that the Company’s utilization of deferred tax assets is highly dependent on the outcome of the review of a broad range of strategic alternatives announced by its Board of Trustees and the uncertainty in timing and volume of future property sales, we have deemed that their realization, at this time, cannot be objectively verified. The Company has therefore recorded a full valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2026. The Company will evaluate this position each quarter as verifiable positive evidence becomes available, such as the execution of asset sales, to support the future utilization of the deferred tax assets.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the “exit price”). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:

Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities

Level 2 - observable prices based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data

Level 3 - unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The following tables present the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands), aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

In accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant and Equipment, the Company reviews the carrying value of its real estate assets at each reporting period. .The Company did not record an impairment loss during the three months ended June 30, 2026. The Company recorded impairment losses of $18.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2025, and $15.2 million and $18.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, on real estate assets which is included in impairment on real estate assets within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We continue to evaluate our portfolio, including our development plans and holding periods, which may result in additional impairments in future periods on our consolidated properties.

In accordance with ASC 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures, the Company reviews the carrying value of its investments in unconsolidated entities at each reporting period. The Company did not record any other-than-temporary losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company recorded $5.2 million and $8.5 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses in investments in unconsolidated entities for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents and the Term Loan Facility. The fair value of the Term Loan Facility is classified as Level 2. Cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of debt obligations is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair values of the Company’s debt obligations were $49.8 million and $50.0 million, respectively, which approximated the carrying value at such dates as the current rate approximates the stated rates on the Company’s debt obligations.

Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

The Company maintains general liability insurance and all-risk property and rental value, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of the Company’s properties. The Company also maintains coverage for terrorism acts as defined by Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2027.

- 22 -


 

Insurance premiums are charged directly to each of the properties. The Company will be responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of insurance coverage, which could be material. The Company continues to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, the Company cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future.

Environmental Matters

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. As a result, the Company may be liable for certain costs including removal, remediation, government fines and injuries to persons and property.

Litigation and Other Matters

In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued or discloses the fact that such a range of loss cannot be estimated. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.

On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws (the “Securities Action”). The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. On or around January 15, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Paul Sidhu v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00152 (the “Sidhu Derivative Action”). On or around January 20, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned James Wallen v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00190 (the “Wallen Derivative Action”). On or around May 8, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Derrick Cheroti v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-vc-00152 (the “Cheroti Derivative Action”). The derivative actions allege the same or similar claimed acts and omissions underlying the Securities Action, assert breach of fiduciary duty and other claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Trustees, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint in each of the derivative actions seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution from the individual defendants, an award of costs and expenses to the plaintiff and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The complaint in the Cheroti Derivative Action also seeks an award of punitive damages, an order directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits and special benefits and unjust enrichment obtained, and the imposition of a constructive trust. On September 2, 2025, the court in the Cheroti Derivative Action stayed the Cheroti Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. On November 5, 2025, the court in the District of Maryland proceedings consolidated the Sidhu Derivative Action and the Wallen Derivative Action (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”) and appointed lead counsel. On November 12, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Derivative Action stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in these lawsuits.

In addition to the litigation described above, the Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and due to the current environment. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

No adjustments were made to the numerator for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, because the Company generated a net loss. During periods of net loss, undistributed losses are not allocated to the participating securities as they are not required to absorb losses.

 

No adjustments were made to the denominator for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, as there were no outstanding non-vested restricted shares.

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

On July 7, 2015, the Company adopted the Seritage Growth Properties 2015 Share Plan (the “Plan”). The number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the Plan is 3,250,000. The Plan provides for grants of restricted shares, share units, other share-based awards, options, and share appreciation rights, each as defined in the Plan (collectively, the “Awards”). Directors, officers, other employees, and consultants of the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible for Awards.

- 25 -


 

Restricted Shares and Share Units

Pursuant to the Plan, the Company periodically made grants of restricted shares or share units. The vesting terms of these grants were specific to the individual grant and varied in that a portion of the restricted shares and share units vested in equal annual amounts over the subsequent three years (time-based vesting) and a portion of the restricted shares and share units vested on the third, and in some instances, the fourth anniversary of the grants subject to the achievement of certain performance criteria (performance-based and market-based vesting).

In general, participating employees were required to remain employed for vesting to occur (subject to certain limited exceptions). Restricted shares and share units that did not vest were forfeited. Dividends on restricted shares and share units with time-based vesting were paid to holders of such shares and share units and were not returnable, even if the underlying shares or share units did not ultimately vest. Dividends on restricted shares and share units with performance-based vesting were accrued when declared and paid to holders of such shares on the third, and in some instances, the fourth anniversary of the initial grant subject to the vesting of the underlying shares.

As of March 31, 2025, all restricted shares were fully vested. The Company recognized $0.2 million in share-based compensation expense related to the restricted shares for the six months ended June 30, 2025. There was no share-based compensation expense related to the restricted shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, or for the three months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Compensation expenses related to the restricted shares are included in general and administrative expenses on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 14 – Segment Reporting

The Company currently operates in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of real estate properties. Substantially all of our revenues are derived from contractual rents and tenant expense reimbursements as outlined within lease agreements. The Company’s CODM, who is our chief executive officer, assesses and measures the operating and financial results on an aggregated basis and does not allocate resources or make decisions distinguishing between individual properties, geographies, sizes, or types. All revenue has been generated and all tangible assets are held in the United States.

The Company’s CODM regularly reviews the operating results of the Company to determine how to best allocate resources. The Company’s measure of segment profitability is consolidated net loss. The CODM uses consolidated net loss when deciding whether to market a property for sale, make an investment in a property to improve its marketability, or reduce general and administrative expenses. Consolidated net loss is also used to monitor budgeted versus actual results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as Total assets.

The table below reconciles total segment revenues to consolidated net loss and includes the significant segment expenses regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM as part of their decision making process (in thousands):

Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part 1 of this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Prior to our adoption of the Plan of Sale, we were principally engaged in the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of diversified retail and mixed-use properties throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2026, our portfolio consisted of interests in nine properties comprised of approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) or build-to-suit leased area and 139 acres of land. The portfolio encompasses four consolidated properties consisting of approximately 0.3 million square feet of GLA and 56 acres and five unconsolidated entities consisting of approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA and 83 acres.

Review of Strategic Alternatives

On March 1, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees commenced a process to review a broad range of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. The Board of Trustees created a special committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Special Committee”) to oversee the process. The Special Committee retained Barclays as its financial advisor from March 2022 to August 2023 to assist with the strategic review. The Company sought a shareholder vote to approve a proposed plan of sale of our assets and dissolution (the “Plan of Sale”) that would allow our Board of Trustees to sell all of our assets, distribute the net proceeds to shareholders and dissolve the Company.

The 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders occurred on October 24, 2022, at which time the Plan of Sale was approved by the shareholders, following our filing of a final proxy statement with the SEC on September 14, 2022. See Note 1 – Organization of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about the Plan of Sale. The strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction or that the Company will be successful in fully executing on the Plan of Sale. The Board of Trustees is currently overseeing the Plan of Sale.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets and Investments in Unconsolidated Entities

We did not recognize any impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a total of $15.2 million of impairment losses due to a marketed process that resulted in receiving offers below carrying value, which are included in impairment of real estate assets within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we recognized $5.2 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated entities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which is included in equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We continue to evaluate our portfolio, including our development plans, hold periods and, if applicable, offers received, which may result in additional impairments in future periods on our consolidated properties and investments in unconsolidated entities.

- 27 -


 

REIT Qualification

On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees, with the recommendation of the Special Committee, approved a plan to terminate the Company's REIT status and become a taxable C Corporation effective January 1, 2022. As a result, the Company is no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income to its shareholders, which provides the Company with greater flexibility to use its free cash flow. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at applicable tax rates and is no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid. The Company operated as a REIT for the 2021 tax year and prior tax years, and existing REIT requirements and limitations, including those established by the Company’s organizational documents, remained in place through December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 7 – Income Taxes of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Market Update

The Company continues to face challenging market conditions such as elevated interest rates and the availability of debt and equity capital, and it continues to assess other potential macroeconomic impacts including supply chain issues, international conflicts associated with tariffs, potential labor issues, and uncertainty caused by wars. While interest rates have started to decline, they remain high relative to interest rates in 2022. Additionally, raising equity capital for land development deals remains challenging. These conditions could apply downward pricing pressures on our remaining assets. In making decisions regarding whether and when to transact on each of the Company’s remaining assets, the Company considers various factors including, but not limited to, the breadth of the buyer universe, macroeconomic conditions, the availability and cost of financing, as well as corporate, operating and other capital expenses required to carry the asset. If these challenging market conditions persist, then we expect that they will continue to adversely impact the Plan of Sale proceeds from our assets and the amounts and timing of distributions to shareholders.

Business Strategies

The Company’s primary objective is to create value for its shareholders through the monetization of the Company's assets through the Plan of Sale, which can be suspended by the Board of Trustees. We look to enhance sale value through leasing our built footprint, densification of our sites, achievement of entitlements and modification of agreements that govern our properties. We continue to position all remaining assets for sale.

Results of Operations

We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. This revenue generally includes fixed base rents and recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants, in each case as provided in the respective leases.

Our primary cash expenses consist of our property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and construction and development related costs. Property operating expenses include: real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management fees, insurance, ground lease costs and utilities; general and administrative expenses include payroll, office expenses, professional fees, and other administrative expenses; and interest expense includes interest on our Term Loan Facility. In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation of our properties and amortization of intangible assets and liabilities.

- 30 -


 

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

The decrease of $3.3 million in depreciation and amortization during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was primarily due to property sales.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses consist of personnel costs, including share-based compensation and third-party consulting fees, professional fees, office expenses and overhead expenses.

These factors resulted in a decrease in loss of $0.5 million.

Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net

For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest and other income decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to holding lower cash balances.

Interest Expense

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of cash include the payment of property operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”), and certain development expenditures. Property rental income, which is the Company’s primary source of operating cash flow, did not fully fund Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the Company recorded net operating cash outflows of $7.3 million. Additionally, the Company generated net investing cash inflows of $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which were driven by distributions from unconsolidated entities and sales of real estate partially offset by development expenditures and investments in unconsolidated entities.

- 31 -


 

Obligations are projected to continue to exceed property rental income and we expect to fund such Obligations and any development expenditures with cash on hand and a combination of capital sources including, but not limited to, sales of Consolidated Properties, sales of interests in Unconsolidated Properties and financing transactions, subject to any approvals that may be required under the loan agreements. Below is our sales activity since we began our capital recycling program:

Sales of Consolidated Properties. We began our capital recycling program in July 2017 and have been monetizing assets since. In March of 2022, we elected to terminate our REIT status effective January 1, 2022 in order to remove any restrictions around asset sales. On October 24, 2022, we received shareholder approval of the Plan of Sale.
o
We sold 90 Consolidated Properties, and additional outparcels at certain properties, and generated approximately $986.8 million of gross proceeds from the beginning of our capital recycling program in July 2017 through the date our REIT status terminated on December 31, 2021;
o
We sold 40 Consolidated Properties, and additional outparcels at certain properties, and generated approximately $438.1 million of gross proceeds from December 31, 2021, the date we terminated our REIT status, through the approval of the Plan of Sale on October 24, 2022;
o
From the approval of the Plan of Sale on October 24, 2022 through June 30, 2026, we sold 95 Consolidated Properties, and additional outparcels at certain properties, and generated approximately $1.3 billion of gross proceeds.
Sales of interests in Unconsolidated Properties. Certain of our unconsolidated entity agreements also include rights that allow us to sell our interests in select Unconsolidated Properties to our partners at fair market value;
o
We sold our interests in 15 Unconsolidated Properties and generated approximately $278.1 million of gross proceeds from the beginning of our capital recycling program in July 2017 through the date our REIT status terminated on December 31, 2021;
o
We sold our interests in 8 Unconsolidated Properties and generated approximately $84.8 million of gross proceeds since we terminated our REIT status on December 31, 2021, through the approval of the Plan of Sale on October 24, 2022;
o
From the approval of the Plan of Sale on October 24, 2022 through June 30, 2026, we sold our interests in 12 Unconsolidated Properties and generated approximately $165.3 million of gross proceeds.
Unconsolidated Properties. We had contributed interests in 12 properties to unconsolidated entities, which generated approximately $242.4 million of gross proceeds from July 2017 through June 30, 2026. In addition to generating liquidity upon closing, these entities also reduce our development expenditures by the amount of our partners’ interests in the unconsolidated entities.

Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $3.0 million and received a distribution of $8.9 million from an Unconsolidated Property as a result of the sale of a portion of the underlying property. The Company has entered into an option purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to sell one vacant non-income producing premier asset in Dallas, Texas for anticipated gross proceeds of $50.8 million before applicable credits and costs. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is also cross-conditioned and cross-defaulted with an option purchase and sale agreement between the buyer and unaffiliated owners of a neighboring parcel. The buyer made an initial option payment of $169,200, then (i) commencing on July 1, 2026, and each month thereafter that the PSA remains in effect through December 1, 2026, the Company shall receive an option payment equal to $126,900 and (ii) commencing on January 1, 2027, and each month thereafter that the PSA remains in effect through January 1, 2028, the Company shall receive an option payment equal to $274,950. All option payments are incremental to the purchase price and are non-refundable except as otherwise provided for in the PSA. There can be no assurances that the buyer will exercise the option to purchase the property.

Term Loan Facility / Incremental Funding Facility

As previously disclosed, on May 5, 2020, the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway as initial lender and administrative agent that permitted the deferral of payment of interest under the Term Loan Agreement if, as of the first day of each applicable month, (x) the amount of unrestricted and unencumbered (other than liens created under the Term Loan Agreement) cash on hand of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, minus (y) the aggregate amount of anticipated necessary expenditures for such period (such sum, “Available Cash”) was equal to or less than $30.0 million. In such instances, for each interest period, the Operating Partnership was obligated to make payments of interest in an amount equal to the difference between (i) Available Cash and (ii) $20.0 million (provided that such payment should not exceed the amount of current interest otherwise due under the Term Loan Agreement). Any deferred interest should accrue interest at 2.0% in excess of the then applicable interest rate and should be due and

- 32 -


 

payable on July 31, 2023; provided, that the Operating Partnership was required to pay any deferred interest from Available Cash in excess of $30.0 million (unless otherwise agreed to by the administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement in its sole discretion). In addition, repayment of any outstanding deferred interest was a condition to any borrowings under the $400.0 million incremental funding facility under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Incremental Funding Facility”).

Additionally, the Term Loan Amendment provided that the administrative agent and the lenders expressed their continued support for asset dispositions, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the terms of individual transactions due to the occurrence of a Financial Metric Trigger Event, as such term is defined under the Term Loan Agreement. The Third Term Loan Amendment (as defined in Note 6 – Debt of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) executed on June 16, 2022 provided exceptions to this right.

On July 28, 2025, the Company exercised its extension option pursuant to the Fourth Term Loan Amendment (as defined in Note 6 – Debt of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and on July 30, 2025, the Company paid a 2% extension fee equal to $4.0 million extending the maturity date to July 31, 2026. The Company also paid the incremental facility fee of $4.0 million. All other terms under the Term Loan Agreement should remain unchanged during the extension period including the interest rate and the incremental facility fee in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we did not make any payments against the principal of the Term Loan Facility. Our outstanding balance as of June 30, 2026, is $50.0 million.

Real Estate Loan / Revolver

On July 24, 2026, certain affiliates of the Company the Company entered into (i) a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Real Estate Loan”) providing for a $15.0 million term loan and (ii) a Business Loan Agreement (the “Revolver”), as amended by an omnibus agreement, providing for a $25.0 million revolving loan. At closing of the Revolver, the Company drew $15.0 million, and has $10.0 million available and unfunded. The Company used the proceeds from the closing of the Real Estate Loan and the initial draw under the Revolver, together with cash on hand, to fully repay the $50.0 million outstanding balance on the existing Term Loan Facility and to pay transaction and related costs. The Real Estate Loan is collateralized by the Company’s interest in three Consolidated Properties and bears interest at an annual rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.75% which interest rate shall be reduced to one-month SOFR plus 2.25% if the outstanding balance is reduced to $10.0 million or less. The Revolver is collateralized by $25.0 million of cash held in a restricted account with the lender. Drawn amounts under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to a spread of 2.0% above the money market rate on the cash collateral which is currently 3.5% for 12 months from closing and thereafter resets annually. Both the Real Estate Loan and the Revolver mature on July 24, 2028 and have a one-year extension option.

See Note 1 – Organization of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of liquidity and going concern.

Litigation and Other Matters

In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, we accrue an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued or disclose the fact that such a range of loss cannot be estimated. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. In such cases, we disclose the nature of the material contingency, and an estimate of the possible loss, range of loss, or disclose the fact that an estimate cannot be made.

On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws. The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. On or around January 15, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Paul Sidhu v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00152. On or around January 20, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned James Wallen v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00190. On or around May 8, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Derrick Cheroti v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-vc-00152. The derivative actions allege the same or similar claimed acts and omissions underlying the Securities Action, assert breach of fiduciary duty and other claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Trustees, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint in each of the derivative actions seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution from the individual defendants, an award of costs and expenses to the plaintiff and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The complaint in the Cheroti Derivative Action also seeks an award of punitive damages, an order directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits and special benefits and unjust enrichment obtained, and the imposition of a constructive trust. On September 2, 2025, the court in the Cheroti Derivative Action stayed the Cheroti Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. On November 5, 2025, the court in the District of Maryland proceedings consolidated the Sidhu Derivative Action and the Wallen Derivative Action and appointed lead counsel. On November 12, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Derivative Action stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in these lawsuits.

We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and due to the current environment. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, the final outcome of such ordinary course legal proceedings and claims will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.

See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Other Matters of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Litigation and related matters.

Critical Accounting Policies

A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to these policies.

- 35 -


 

 

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

There were no material changes in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk set forth in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)). Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.

Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.

Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Material Weaknesses

A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

As previously reported, management identified material weaknesses due to deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of controls which remain unremediated as of, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to: (i) level of precision of the review of the general ledger and underlying reconciliations, and (ii) lack of appropriate segregation of duties over journal entries. These deficiencies contributed to the potential for there to be material errors in our financial statements.

Update on Remediation Plan

As previously reported, in response to the material weaknesses, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee, began to implement steps to remediate the material weaknesses. While the Company has made progress with the remediation of these material weaknesses, the remediation efforts are ongoing, because additional time is needed to complete the remediation and allow for the internal controls to be tested by management.

However, the material weaknesses discussed above cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls are fully implemented, have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

Other than as described above, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws. The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. On or around January 15, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Paul Sidhu v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00152. On or around January 20, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned James Wallen v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00190. On or around May 8, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Derrick Cheroti v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-vc-00152. The derivative actions allege the same or similar claimed acts and omissions underlying the Securities Action, assert breach of fiduciary duty and other claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Trustees, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint in each of the derivative actions seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution from the individual defendants, an award of costs and expenses to the plaintiff and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The complaint in the Cheroti Derivative Action also seeks an award of punitive damages, an order directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits and special benefits and unjust enrichment obtained, and the imposition of a constructive trust. On September 2, 2025, the court in the Cheroti Derivative Action stayed the Cheroti Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. On November 5, 2025, the court in the District of Maryland proceedings consolidated the Sidhu Derivative Action and the Wallen Derivative Action and appointed lead counsel. On November 12, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Derivative Action stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in these lawsuits.

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and due to the current environment. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

23

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

full insurable value on a replacement cost basis of the insured Property and Improvements and personal property related thereto (without deduction for depreciation). If the policy is a blanket policy covering the Property and Improvements and one or more other properties, the policy must specify the dollar amount of the total blanket limit of the policy that is allocated to each property, and the amount so allocated to the Property and Improvements must not be less than the full insurable value on a replacement cost basis. Such policy shall not contain an exclusion for terrorist losses. However, if such an exclusion exists in the All-Risk policy, a separate terrorism policy covering Certified Acts of Terrorism must be evidenced to Lender in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of the Property and Improvements, or the amount of the Loan, whichever is less. This policy must also list Lender as mortgagee and loss payee.

The amount of the policy shall be satisfactory to Lender in its Permitted Discretion.

 

(vi)
Such other insurance coverages in such amounts as Lender may require either in response to any legal or regulatory change or any internally generated set of insurance guidelines generally applicable to construction or real estate loans made or held by Lender.

A.M. Best Co., in Best’s Rating Guide, (ii) name Lender and any and all subsidiaries “and their successors and/or assigns as their interests may appear” as additional insureds on all liability insurance and as mortgagee and loss payee on all All-Risk Property, flood insurance, and rent loss or business interruption insurance, (iii) be endorsed to show that Borrower’s insurance shall be primary and all insurance carried by Lender is strictly excess and secondary and shall not contribute with Borrower’s insurance, (iv) provide that Lender is to receive THIRTY (30) days written notice prior to non-renewal or cancellation, (v) be evidenced by a certificate of insurance to be provided to Lender along with a copy of the policy for All-Risk Property coverage or such other evidence of insurance acceptable to Lender in its Permitted Discretion, (vi) include either policy or binder numbers on the ACORD form, and (vii) be in form and amounts acceptable to Lender; provided, however, that with respect to any flood insurance required hereunder, acceptable proof of coverage shall not include certificates of insurance.

Any amounts so disbursed by Lender pursuant to this Section shall be repaid by Borrower within TEN (10) days after written demand therefor. Nothing contained in this Section shall require Lender to incur any expense or take any action hereunder, and inaction by Lender shall never be considered a waiver of any right accruing to Lender on account on this Section. The payment by Lender of any insurance premium for insurance which Borrower is obligated to provide hereunder but which Lender believes has not been paid, shall be conclusive between the parties as to the legality and amounts so paid. Borrower agrees to pay all premiums on such insurance as they become due and will not permit any condition to exist on or with respect to the Property which would wholly or partially invalidate any insurance thereon.
(d)

Keep the Property insured against damage in the amount equal to the Indebtedness or as otherwise required by the Loan Documents;

 

(ii)
Purchase the insurance from an insurer that is authorized to do business in Texas (or State where the real property Collateral is located) or an eligible surplus lines insurer;

Deliver to Lender a copy of the policy and proof of the payment of premiums.

 

Lender may obtain collateral protection insurance on behalf of Borrower at Borrower’s expense if Borrower fails to meet any of the foregoing requirements.

 

(e)
No Liability; Assignment. Lender shall not by the fact of approving, disapproving, accepting, preventing, obtaining, or failing to obtain any such insurance, incur any liability for the form or legal sufficiency of insurance contracts, solvency of insurers, or payment of losses, and Borrower hereby expressly assumes full responsibility therefor and all liability, if any, thereunder. Borrower hereby absolutely assigns and transfers to Lender all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to any unearned premiums paid on policies and any claims thereunder and Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assign any then existing claims under the same to any purchaser of the Property at any foreclosure sale; provided, however, that so long as no Default exists and is continuing hereunder, Borrower shall have the right under a license granted hereby, and Lender hereby grants to Borrower a license, to exercise rights under said policies and in and to said premiums subject to the provisions of this Agreement. Said license shall be revoked automatically upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Default hereunder. In the event of a foreclosure of the Deed of Trust, or other transfer of title to the Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Loan, all right, title and interest of Borrower in and to the insurance policies then in force and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

 

(f)
No Separate Insurance.

(g)
Casualty Loss.

 

(i)
If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Borrower shall give immediate written notice and make a claim to the insurance carrier and Lender. With respect to any such casualty loss for which Borrower has an insurance claim that exceeds ONE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($1,000,000.00) (the “Restoration Threshold”), Borrower hereby authorizes and empowers Lender, at Lender’s option and in Lender’s sole discretion as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, to make proof of loss, to adjust and compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from such insurance policies, to collect and receive insurance proceeds, and to deduct therefrom Lender’s expenses incurred in the collection of such proceeds; provided, however, that the foregoing authorization and empowerment of Lender to act as attorney-in-fact for Borrower shall not become effective until the occurrence and during the continuance of An Event of Default or until such time as Borrower fails to diligently pursue the collection of such insurance proceeds in Lender’s opinion. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable, coupled with an interest and continuing so

26

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

long as Indebtedness remains outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lender and its successors and assigns.

 

(ii)
As sole loss payee on all policies of casualty insurance, Lender shall receive all insurance proceeds in excess of the Restoration Threshold from any casualty loss and shall hold the same in an interest-bearing account pending disposition in accordance with this Section. Borrower authorizes Lender to deduct from such insurance proceeds received by Lender all of Lender’s costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with the collection thereof (the remainder of such insurance proceeds being referred to herein as “Net Casualty Proceeds”).

 

(iii)
Lender shall deliver any Net Casualty Proceeds that are less than the Restoration Threshold to Borrower. Lender shall cause all other Net Casualty Proceeds from any casualty loss affecting the Property to be disbursed for the cost of reconstruction of the Property if all of the following conditions are satisfied within NINETY (90) days after the applicable casualty loss: (1) Borrower satisfies Lender that the reconstruction can be completed within a reasonable period of time after such casualty loss (but in no event later than the Maturity Date) and that after giving effect to such reconstruction the Property will be restored to its condition immediately prior to the casualty loss; (2) Borrower satisfies Lender that the Net Casualty Proceeds are sufficient to pay all costs of reconstruction, and if insufficient, Borrower deposits with Lender additional funds to make up such insufficiency; and (3) Borrower delivers to Lender all plans and specifications and construction contracts for the work of reconstruction and such plans and specifications and construction contracts are in form and content acceptable to Lender in its Permitted Discretion and with a contractor acceptable to Lender. The disbursement of Net Casualty Proceeds pursuant to this clause shall be in accordance with customary disbursement procedures and shall not be available during the continuance of an Event of Default. Any Net Casualty Proceeds not required to reconstruct the Property shall be delivered to Borrower after expiration of the lien period for the work of reconstruction (or, at Borrower’s option, after delivery of title insurance to Lender over such liens where the lien period has not so expired). Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event Default or in the event Borrower is unable to satisfy the conditions set forth in subclauses (1) through (4) hereof by the required date, Lender shall have the right (but not the obligation) to apply all Net Casualty Proceeds held by it to the payment of the Indebtedness. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any casualty loss and restore the Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such casualty provided the applicable Net Casualty Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.

 

(h)
Condemnation and Other Awards. Immediately upon receiving written notice of the institution or threatened institution of any proceeding for the condemnation of the Property or any part thereof, Borrower shall notify Lender of such fact. Borrower shall then file or defend its rights thereunder and prosecute the same with due diligence to its final disposition; provided, however, that Borrower shall not enter into any settlement of such proceeding without the prior approval of Lender if the amount in controversy exceeds the Restoration Threshold. Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in any such proceeding in its own name, and upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default or if Borrower fails to diligently prosecute such proceeding, (i) Lender shall be entitled, at its option, to appear in and prosecute any such proceeding or to make any compromise or settlement in connection with such condemnation on behalf of Borrower, and (ii) Borrower hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints Lender as its attorney-in-fact, and such appointment is coupled with an interest, to commence, appear in and prosecute such action or proceeding or to make such compromise or settlement in connection with any such condemnation on its behalf. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing so long as the Indebtedness remains outstanding, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Lender and its successors and assigns. If the Property or any material part thereof is taken or materially diminished in value in connection with such condemnation, or if a consent settlement is entered, by or under threat of such proceeding, the award or settlement payable to Borrower by virtue of its interest in the Property, shall be, and by these presents is, assigned, transferred, and set over unto Lender. Any such award or settlement shall be first applied to reimburse Lender for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the collection of such award or settlement. The balance of such award or settlement (the “Net Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid to Lender for application in the manner set forth in Section 10(g) as if such award or settlement constituted insurance proceeds from a casualty loss;

27

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

provided, however, that Lender shall have no obligation to make Net Condemnation Proceeds available for construction or reconstruction of the Property unless Lender has determined that the Property as so constructed or reconstructed after giving effect to the condemnation would have a value that is no less than its value would have been had there been no such condemnation. Borrower shall have the obligation to promptly and diligently complete the work of reconstruction necessitated by any condemnation and restore the Property to the equivalent of its condition immediately prior to such condemnation (or if the initial construction of the Improvements is not substantially complete at the time of such condemnation, continue the construction of the Improvements in accordance with the terms hereof) provided the applicable Net Condemnation Proceeds are made available to Borrower for such purpose.

The subordination provisions related to any Subordinate Indebtedness or any other agreement, document or instrument governing any Subordinate Indebtedness shall for any reason be revoked or invalidated, or otherwise cease to be in full force and effect, or any Person shall contest in any manner the validity or enforceability thereof or deny that it has any further liability or obligation thereunder, or the Indebtedness, for any reason shall not have the priority contemplated by this Agreement or any such subordination provisions.

 

(m)
[Intentionally Omitted].

31

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

13.
Remedies and Related Rights. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and without limiting any other rights and remedies provided herein, under any of the Loan Documents or otherwise available to Lender, Lender may exercise one or more of the rights and remedies provided in this Section.

 

(a)
Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, the entire unpaid balance of principal of the Note, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, and all other Indebtedness owing to Lender by Borrower at such time shall, at the option of Lender, become immediately due and payable without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower; provided, however, concurrently and automatically with the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 12(e), the Indebtedness at such time shall, without any action by Lender, become due and payable, without further notice, demand, presentation, notice of dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, protest or notice of protest of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower. All rights and remedies of Lender set forth in this Agreement and in any of the other Loan Documents may also be exercised by Lender, in its sole discretion, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and not in substitution or diminution of any rights now or hereafter held by Lender under the terms of any other agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest rate swap or other derivative transactions evidenced by a Hedge Agreement shall be terminated only in accordance with the terms of such Hedge Agreement.

 

(b)
Other Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any one or more of the foregoing Events of Default, Lender may from time to time at its discretion, without limitation and without notice except as expressly provided in any of the Loan Documents:

 

(i)
Exercise in respect of the Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral);

 

(ii)
Require Borrower to, and Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of Lender, assemble the Collateral as directed by Lender and make it available to Lender at a place to be designated by Lender which is reasonably convenient to both parties;

 

(iii)
Reduce its claim to judgment or foreclose or otherwise enforce, in whole or in part, the security interest granted hereunder by any available judicial procedure;

 

(iv)
Sell or otherwise dispose of, at its office, on the premises of Borrower or elsewhere, the Collateral, as a unit or in parcels, by public or private proceedings, and by way of one or more contracts (it being agreed that the sale or other disposition of any part of the Collateral shall not exhaust Lender’s power of sale, but sales or other dispositions may be made from time to time until all of the Collateral has been sold or disposed of or until the Indebtedness has been paid and performed in full), and at any such sale or other disposition it shall not be necessary to exhibit any of the Collateral;

 

(v)
Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any public sale;

 

(vi)
Buy the Collateral, or any portion thereof, at any private sale if the Collateral is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations;

 

(vii)
Apply for the appointment of a receiver for the Collateral, and Borrower hereby consents to any such appointment; and

 

(viii)
At its option, retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Indebtedness whenever the circumstances are such that Lender is entitled to do so under the UCC or otherwise.

 

Borrower agrees that in the event Borrower is entitled to receive any notice under the UCC, as it exists in the state governing any such notice, of the sale or other disposition of any Collateral, reasonable notice

32

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

shall be deemed given when such notice is deposited in a depository receptacle under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service, postage prepaid, at Borrower’s address set forth on the signature page hereof, THIRTY (30) days prior to the date of any public sale, or after which a private sale, of any of such Collateral is to be held. Lender shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. Lender may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

 

(c)
Application of Proceeds. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, Lender may at its sole discretion apply or use any cash held by Lender as Collateral, and any cash proceeds received by Lender in respect of any sale or other disposition of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral as follows in such order and manner as Lender may elect:

 

(i)
to the repayment or reimbursement of the reasonable costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by Lender in connection with (1) the administration of the Loan Documents, (2) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, the Collateral, and (3) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights and remedies of Lender hereunder;

 

(ii)
to the payment or other satisfaction of any Liens and other encumbrances upon

the Collateral;

 

(iii)
to the satisfaction of the Indebtedness, including without limitation to pay any amounts in respect of Hedge Agreement Obligations;

 

(iv)
by holding such cash and proceeds as Collateral;

 

(v)
to the payment of any other amounts required by applicable law; and

 

(vi)
by delivery to Borrower or any other party lawfully entitled to receive such cash or proceeds whether by direction of a court of competent jurisdiction or otherwise.

 

(d)
Deficiency. In the event that the proceeds of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, all or any part of the Collateral by Lender are insufficient to pay all amounts to which Lender is legally entitled, Borrower (unless otherwise provided) shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest thereon as provided in the Loan Documents.

 

(e)
Non-Judicial Remedies. In granting to Lender the power to enforce its rights hereunder without prior judicial process or judicial hearing, Borrower expressly waives, renounces, and knowingly relinquishes any legal right which might otherwise require Lender to enforce its rights by judicial process. Borrower recognizes and concedes that non-judicial remedies are consistent with the usage of trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm’s length.

 

(f)
Other Recourse. Borrower waives any right to require Lender to proceed against any third party, exhaust any Collateral or other security for the Indebtedness, or to have any third party joined with Borrower in any suit arising out of the Indebtedness or any of the Loan Documents, or pursue any other remedy available to Lender. Borrower further waives any and all notice of acceptance of this Agreement and of the creation, modification, rearrangement, renewal, or extension of the Indebtedness. Borrower further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of any third party or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of any third party. Until all of the Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, Borrower shall have no right of subrogation and Borrower waives the right to enforce any remedy which Lender has or may hereafter have against any third party and waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any other security whatsoever now or hereafter held by Lender. Borrower authorizes Lender, and without notice or demand and without any reservation of rights against Borrower and without affecting Borrower’s liability hereunder or on the Indebtedness to (i) take or

33

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

hold any other property of any type from any third party as security for the Indebtedness, and exchange, enforce, waive and release any or all of such other property, (ii) apply such other property and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lender may in its Permitted Discretion determine, (iii) renew, extend, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle or release any of the Indebtedness or other security for the Indebtedness, (iv) waive, enforce or modify any of the provisions of any of the Loan Documents executed by any third party, and (v) release or substitute any third party.

 

(g)
No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No failure on the part of Lender to exercise and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege. The rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

 

(h)
Equitable Relief. Borrower recognizes that in the event Borrower fails to pay, perform, observe, or discharge any or all of the Indebtedness, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to Lender, and that Lender has the right to enforce its rights and remedies under the Loan Documents under applicable law or in equity, including, without limitation, the right to pursue any remedy for injunctive or other equitable relief.

 

(i)
HVCRE Compliance. If at any time, in the determination of Lender in its Permitted Discretion, Borrower fails to be in full compliance with HVCRE Regulations, Borrower shall immediately take such actions as may be necessary or desirable to cause Borrower to be in compliance, including without limitation obtaining additional equity. If Borrower fails to take such action or remedy such failure, then, in addition to any other rights and remedies Lender may have, Lender may take such actions as are necessary or desirable to bring Borrower and the Property into compliance with HVCRE Regulations, including without limitation increasing the interest rate on the Loan and/or reducing the maximum outstanding principal balance of the Loan. The parties hereto acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, the Property is not classified as High Volatility Commercial Real Estate.

 

For purposes of this Section, “Collateral” means any part of the Property that is covered by the scope of Article 9 of the UCC.

 

14.
Cross-Collateralization and Cross-Default. Borrower and Lender contemplate that Borrower and Lender have engaged or may, from time to time, engage in various loan transactions and that from time to time other circumstances may arise, in which Borrower becomes obligated to Lender, including transactions of a type that are very different from the transactions evidenced by the Loan Documents, including by notes, advances, overdrafts, bookkeeping entries, guaranty agreements, deeds of trust, or any other method or means (each a “Loan Obligation”). Unless otherwise agreed in writing, Borrower and Lender agree that all such transactions will be secured by the Collateral, and that the Indebtedness arising under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents will be secured by any collateral granted in connection with such Loan Obligation. Repayment of all Indebtedness and performance of all other obligations under this Agreement by Borrower shall not terminate Lender’s security interests in the Collateral unless Lender executes a written release. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, if any default occurs under any Loan Obligation, then Lender may declare an Event of Default hereunder and an Event of Default hereunder shall be a default under such Loan Obligation. Lender’s failure to exercise its right of cross-default shall not constitute a waiver by Lender of such right. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Revolver Loan or any letter of credit facility made by Lender to Partnership be deemed a Loan Obligation or deemed to be cross-defaulted or cross-collateralized with the Loan or this Agreement.

 

15.
Indemnity. BORROWER SHALL INDEMNIFY LENDER AND EACH AFFILIATE THEREOF AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, ATTORNEYS, AND AGENTS (EACH, AN “INDEMNIFIED PERSON”) FROM, AND HOLD EACH OF THEM HARMLESS AGAINST, ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) TO WHICH ANY OF THEM MAY BECOME SUBJECT WHICH DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISE FROM OR RELATE TO (a) THE NEGOTIATION, EXECUTION, DELIVERY, PERFORMANCE,

34

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

ADMINISTRATION, OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (b) ANY OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, (c) ANY BREACH BY BORROWER OF ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, COVENANT, OR OTHER AGREEMENT CONTAINED IN ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR (d) ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY THREATENED INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION, OR OTHER PROCEEDING, RELATING TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, IT IS THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES HERETO THAT EACH INDEMNIFIED PERSON TO BE INDEMNIFIED UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE INDEMNIFIED FROM AND HELD HARMLESS AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE SOLE CONTRIBUTORY OR ORDINARY NEGLIGENCE OF SUCH PERSON. THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT EXTEND TO LOSSES, LIABILITIES, CLAIMS, DAMAGES, PENALTIES, JUDGMENTS, DISBURSEMENTS, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES) ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH PERSON; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT (I) THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY SHALL NOT INCLUDE ANY SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY THIRD PARTIES UNAFFILIATED WITH LENDER AND (II) NO OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, ATTORNEY OR AGENT OF BORROWER OR GUARANTOR SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO, AND LENDER HEREBY WAIVES, RELEASES, AND AGREES NOT TO SUE ANY OF THEM, ON ACCOUNT OF THE FOREGOING INDEMNITY. BORROWER AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS. IF BORROWER OR ANY THIRD PARTY EVER ALLEGES SUCH GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT BY ANY INDEMNIFIED PERSON, THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION SHALL NONETHELESS BE PAID UPON DEMAND, SUBJECT TO LATER ADJUSTMENT OR REIMBURSEMENT, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS (A) A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION ENTERS A FINAL JUDGMENT AS TO THE EXTENT AND EFFECT OF THE ALLEGED GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, OR (B) LENDER HAS EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING WITH BORROWER THAT SUCH CLAIM IS PROXIMATELY CAUSED BY SUCH INDEMNIFIED PERSON’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND SHALL EXTEND AND CONTINUE TO BENEFIT EACH INDIVIDUAL OR ENTITY THAT IS OR HAS AT ANY TIME BEEN AN INDEMNIFIED PERSON HEREUNDER.

 

16.
Limitation of Liability. Neither Lender nor any officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Lender or any of Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. BORROWER AGREES THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION ARE A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO LENDER’S AGREEMENT TO ENTER INTO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

17.
No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, and other professional Persons and consultants retained by Lender shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of Lender and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to Borrower or any of Borrower’s equity holders or any other Person. Documents in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder have been prepared by Lender’s Counsel. Borrower acknowledges and understands that Lender’s Counsel is acting solely as counsel to Lender in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, is not representing Borrower in connection therewith, and has not, in any manner, undertaken to assist or render legal advice to

35

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

Borrower with respect to this transaction. Borrower has been advised to seek other legal counsel to represent Borrower’s interests in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.

 

18.
Lender not Fiduciary. The relationship between Borrower and Lender is solely that of debtor and creditor, and Lender has no fiduciary or other special relationship with Borrower, and no term or condition of any of the Loan Documents shall be construed so as to deem the relationship between Borrower and Lender to be other than that of debtor and creditor.

 

19.
Waiver and Agreement. No waiver of any provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents and no departure by Borrower therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by Lender, and then shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given and to the extent specified in such writing. No modification or amendment to this Agreement or to any of the other Loan Documents shall be valid or effective unless the same is signed by the party against whom it is sought to be enforced.

 

20.
Benefits. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Lender and Borrower, and their respective heirs, personal representatives, successors, and assigns, provided, however, that Borrower may not, without the prior written consent of Lender, assign any rights, powers, duties, or obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

39

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

 

(b)
Equal Credit Opportunity Act. The Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act prohibits creditors from discriminating against credit applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age (provided the applicant has the capacity to enter into a binding contract); because all or part of the applicant’s income derives from any public assistance program; or because the applicant has in good faith exercised any right under the Consumer Credit Protection Act.

If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount (a) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received pursuant to any Note, any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, (b) contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by reason of Lender’s exercise of the option to accelerate the maturity of any Note and/or any and all indebtedness paid or payable by Borrower to Lender pursuant to any Loan Document other than any Note (such other indebtedness being referred to in this Section as the “Related Indebtedness”), or (c) Borrower will have paid or Lender will have received by reason of any voluntary prepayment by Borrower of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of any Note and/or the Related Indebtedness (or, if any Note and all Related Indebtedness have been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of any Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if any Note or Related Indebtedness has been paid in full before the end of the stated term thereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Rate, either refund such excess interest to Borrower and/or credit such excess interest against such Note and/or any Related Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to any Note and/or any of the Related Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to

40

 


LOAN AND SECURITY AGREEMENT PAGE B1BANK – SERITAGE SRC FINANCE LLC

 

the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration.

 

37.

Borrower understands to accomplish these purposes Lender may need to share this information with third parties, including loan servicers, actual or potential purchasers or investors in loans, government agency loan guarantors, mortgage insurers, marketing companies, and others, depending on the type of Loan applied for, and Borrower agrees to such information sharing for these purposes on Borrower’s behalf. For the purpose of this consent to sharing tax return information, Lender and third parties includes the affiliates, agents, and any successors or assigns of Lender and third parties.

 

38.
Document Retention Policy. Borrower expressly acknowledges, understands, and agrees that Lender’s document retention policy involves the imaging of the Loan Documents and the destruction of the paper originals thereof. In connection therewith, Borrower hereby waives any and all rights Borrower has or may have to claim, for any and all purposes whatsoever, that the imaged copies of the Loan Documents are not originals thereof.

 

39.
Notice of Final Agreement. It is the intention of Borrower and Lender that the following NOTICE OF FINAL AGREEMENT be incorporated by reference into each of the Loan Documents (as the same may be amended, modified, or restated from time to time). Borrower and Lender warrant and represent that the entire agreement made and existing by or among Borrower and Lender with respect to the Loan is and shall be contained within the Loan Documents, and that no agreements or promises exist or shall exist by or among, Borrower and Lender that are not reflected in the Loan Documents.

APPLICATION FOR AND PURPOSE OF THE LOAN. Borrower has applied to Lender for a Loan in the aggregate principal amount of

$25,000,000.00 for the following purpose: To refinance existing debt by providing a 100% cash-secured revolving line of credit for general corporate working capital, liquidity management, and operating needs during the orderly disposition of remaining real estate assets..

Lender shall have no obligation or liability to Borrower or to any other person or persons arising out of or in any way accruing from Lender's reasonable refusal to extend Loan Advances to Borrower for any of the reasons stated above.

AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. Borrower hereby authorizes Lender automatically to deduct from Borrower's D - DDA (Demand Deposit Account) account, numbered 84503253808, the amount of any loan payment.

In addition, Lender's election to take any such actions or to incur such additional expenditures shall not constitute a waiver or forbearance by Lender of any Event of Default under this Agreement.

Borrower further agrees that, to the extent permitted by law, Lender may at any time apply any funds that Borrower may have on deposit with Lender or in certificates of deposit or other deposit accounts as to which Borrower is an account holder against the unpaid balance of Borrower's Note and any and all other present and future indebtedness and obligations that Borrower may then owe to Lender, in principal, interest, fees, costs, expenses, and reasonable attorneys' fees.

In addition, Lender shall have all the rights and remedies provided in the Related Documents or available at law, in equity, or otherwise.

Lender shall have the right at its sole option, to accelerate payment of Borrower's Note in full, in principal, interest, costs, expenses, attorneys' fees, and other fees and charges, as well as to accelerate the maturity of any and all other loans and/or obligations that Borrower may then owe to Lender, whether direct or indirect, or by way of assignment or purchase of a participation interest, and whether absolute or contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, voluntary or involuntary, determined or undetermined, due or to become due, and whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether Borrower is obligated alone or with others on a "solidary" or "joint and several" basis, as a principal obligor or as a surety, of every nature and kind whatsoever, whether any such indebtedness may be barred under any statute of limitations or otherwise may be unenforceable or voidable for any reason whatsoever.

Borrower and each guarantor further agree that Lender's remedies shall be cumulative in nature and nothing under this Agreement or otherwise, shall be construed as to limit or restrict the options and remedies available to Lender following any event of default under this Agreement or otherwise.

Except as may be prohibited by applicable law, all of Lender's rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised singularly or concurrently. Election by Lender to pursue any remedy shall not exclude pursuit of any other remedy, and an election to make expenditures or to take action to perform an obligation of Borrower or of any Grantor shall not affect Lender's right to declare a default and to exercise its rights and remedies.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS. The following miscellaneous provisions are a part of this Agreement:

Lender may provide, without any limitation whatsoever, to any one or more purchasers, or potential purchasers, any information or knowledge Lender may have about Borrower or about any other matter relating to the Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any rights to privacy Borrower may have with respect to such matters. Borrower additionally waives any and all notices of sale of participation interests, as well as all notices of any repurchase of such participation interests.

No delay or omission on the part of Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver by Lender of a provision of this Agreement shall not prejudice or constitute a waiver of Lender's right otherwise to demand strict compliance with that provision or any other provision of this Agreement. No prior waiver by Lender, nor any course of dealing between Lender and Borrower, or between Lender and any Grantor, shall constitute a waiver of any of Lender's rights or of any of Borrower's or any Grantor's obligations as to any future transactions. Whenever the consent of Lender is required under this Agreement, the granting of such consent by Lender in any instance shall not constitute continuing consent to subsequent instances where such consent is required and in all cases such consent may be granted or withheld in the sole discretion of Lender.

Notices. To give Borrower any notice required under this Agreement, Lender may hand deliver or mail the notice to Borrower at Borrower's last address in Lender's records.

5.
Closing Costs; Pro-Rations at Closing.
5.1.
Recording Fees and Other Fees. Seller shall pay (i) the cost of any title examination fees charged by Title Company to the extent related to ordering the Commitment and/or issuing the Title Policy (as defined below), (ii) the cost of the base premium for the Title Policy in the amount of the Purchase Price (but not premiums for any endorsements or any title insurance requirements of Buyer’s lender, if applicable), (iii) the cost to prepare and obtain all other documents necessary to perform Seller’s agreements and obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) the cost of preparing and recording all documents necessary to correct or remove defects in or encumbrances upon Seller’s title to the Property (to the extent Seller is obligated under this Agreement to do so or has committed in writing to remove such defects or encumbrances). Buyer shall pay (a) the cost of recording the Deed, (b) the cost of any premiums for endorsements to the Title Policy and any title insurance requirements of Buyer’s lender (if applicable),

(c) the cost of applying for and pursuing the Entitlements, (d) the cost of the Survey (as defined below), (e) the cost incurred by Buyer to conduct its inspections, tests, studies and the like (including the Tests), and

(f) the cost to prepare and obtain all other documents necessary to perform Buyer’s agreements and obligations under this Agreement. Each party shall pay its own attorneys’ fees and fifty percent of any escrow fees charged by Escrow Agent or Funding Agent. Any other costs and expenses which are not specifically allocated between Seller and Buyer in this Section 5.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be allocated between Seller and Buyer according to local custom in connection with the sale of commercial real property in Dallas, Texas (as reasonably agreed by the parties).

5.2.
Prorations. Except as otherwise indicated by this Agreement, Funding Agent shall prorate between the parties (and the parties shall deposit funds therefor with Funding Agent or shall instruct Funding Agent to debit against sums held by Funding Agent owing to such party), as of 11:59 p.m. the day immediately prior to the Closing Date (such prior date, the “Adjustment Date”), all income and expenses with respect to the Property that are payable to or by the owner of the Property, including all matters set forth in this Section 5.2, so that the income and expense items with respect to the period up to and including the Adjustment Date shall be the responsibility of Seller and the income and expense items with respect to the period after the Adjustment Date shall be the responsibility of Buyer. Seller and Buyer shall prorate any items of costs or expenses not specified in this Article 5 in the manner that such items are customarily apportioned between sellers and buyers in connection with the sale of commercial real property in Dallas, Texas.
5.3.
Utilities. All charges, taxes and fees for utility services (including without limitation, as applicable: water, sewer, gas and electricity), shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall endeavor to obtain utility meter readings to a date not more than five (5) days before the Closing Date and the unfixed water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges, if any, based thereon for the intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last readings. If such readings are not obtainable by the Closing Date, then, at the Closing, any water rates and charges, sewer taxes and rents and gas and electricity charges which are based on such readings shall be prorated based upon the per diem charges obtained by using the most recent period for which such readings shall then be available. Upon the taking of subsequent actual readings, the apportionment of such charges shall be recalculated and Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, promptly shall make any applicable payment to the other based upon such recalculations. In the event Seller has previously made any utility deposits for services at the Property, then Seller shall elect (with notice of such election provided to Buyer on or before five (5) days prior to Closing, failing which Seller shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) below), whether (i) to receive a credit for such amounts at Closing (to the extent the deposit is actually transferred to and for the benefit of Buyer, as confirmed in writing by the subject deposit holder and provided to Buyer on or before Closing) or (ii) to request a reimbursement of the deposit from the applicable utility provider.

5.4.
Taxes. Ad valorem taxes (“Taxes”) assessed against the Property for the current applicable calendar or fiscal year in which Closing occurs will be prorated on a calendar year or fiscal year basis, as applicable, as of the Adjustment Date, and will be based on the actual Taxes for the applicable current calendar or fiscal year. If the actual Taxes for the current calendar or fiscal year are unavailable, then such pro-ration will be based on one hundred percent (100%) the actual Taxes for the prior calendar or fiscal year, and Seller and Buyer shall recalculate such pro-ration within sixty (60) days following date on which the actual Taxes for the calendar or fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are determined (as a point of clarity, Seller is not in any way responsible for any incremental increase in Taxes to the extent resulting from any improvements constructed by or on behalf of Buyer at the Property following the Closing Date). Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with all relevant documentation relating to the Taxes (including any tax bills) whether received by Seller before or after Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, for any tenant that, pursuant to its Lease (if any), makes payments to fund Taxes (whether annually, semi-annually or otherwise on less than a monthly basis), the portion of Taxes that such tenant is obligated to pay through such rent payments shall be excluded from the Tax proration between Seller and Buyer as contemplated above. Buyer and Seller shall prorate any payments made by such tenant for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, and Buyer shall collect any such payments that are payable following the Closing Date directly from the tenants as and when due and payable by such tenants. Seller expressly reserves (i) the right (but shall not have the obligation) to commence, prosecute and complete any and all contests and appeals that may be available with respect to Taxes which are allocable to any fiscal year occurring prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs; and (ii) the right to receive any and all refunds and proceeds that may be payable as a result of any such contests or appeals of Taxes commenced under clause (i) above. If Seller commences any contest or appeal with respect to the fiscal year in which the Closing Date occurs, then, (x) if such contest or appeal is to be settled or resolved prior to the Closing Date, the proposed settlement or resolution shall be subject to Buyer’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and (y) if such contest or appeal is continuing as of the Closing Date, Seller shall assign its rights under such contest or proceeding to Buyer at Closing and Buyer shall be permitted to settle or resolve the same following the Closing Date, subject to Seller’s prior approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Any tax refunds received by Buyer following the Closing Date which are allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date will be promptly paid by Buyer to Seller (net of applicable costs and expenses) and any tax refunds received by Seller following the Closing Date which are allocable to the period following the Closing Date will be promptly paid by Seller to Buyer (net of applicable costs and expenses).
5.5.
Service Contracts. With regard to Service Contracts to the extent assumed by Buyer at Closing in accordance with Section 11.2: (i) Seller shall be credited for sums that have been prepaid by Seller prior to the Adjustment Date under the Service Contracts if such prepaid amounts pertain to services for periods of time from and after the Adjustment Date, and, provided, that such prepayment amount is confirmed in writing provided to Buyer by the counterparty to the Service Contract or pursuant to other confirmation reasonably acceptable to Buyer; and (ii) Buyer shall be credited at Closing for any amounts that are due or accrued but unpaid as of the Adjustment Date and relate to a Service Contract and the period of time prior to the Adjustment Date.
5.6.
Leases. To the extent any Leases are in place on the Closing Date, the following provisions shall apply: Rents as and when collected (the term "rents" as used in this Agreement includes all payments due and payable by the tenants to the applicable landlord under the Leases) shall be prorated as of the Adjustment Date. At Closing, Seller shall credit to the account of Buyer the amount of any security deposits then held by Seller with respect to the Leases. As to any pass-through expense payments, escalation rent and/or percentage rent payable under the Leases, Seller shall (to the extent required by the Leases) bill all applicable tenants in the ordinary course, through the Closing Date. At or before Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer all material records used by Seller to calculate payment of such rents described in the immediately preceding sentence for the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year), and the parties

shall allocate any monthly payments paid with respect to such rents in the same manner as Rent. Following the Closing, the parties shall promptly true-up with one another after the reconciliations with respect to such rents for the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year) are completed by Buyer and Buyer has calculated the final amount of such rents payable for the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year). Subject to the terms of the Leases, Buyer shall endeavor to complete such reconciliations as soon as reasonably practicable following the end of the year of Closing (whether fiscal or calendar year).

5.7.
Settlement Statement; Reprorations. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall prepare a draft set of prorations for Buyer’s review. Seller and Buyer shall work together in good faith to approve said prorations so that the Funding Agent may then prepare (in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) and deliver to Seller and Buyer an initial closing statement for their respective review and approval (such statement, upon approval by Seller and Buyer, the “Settlement Statement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, either Seller and/or Buyer may request separate closing statements based on the agreed upon set of prorations. No later than one hundred and twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (or such later date as may be applicable under Section 5.4 or Section 5.6 above but solely with respect to Taxes and the Leases, as applicable), Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a recalculation of any and all amounts due or subject to proration under this Article 5 (taking into consideration any errors and changes necessary because of the lack of complete or accurate information as of the Closing Date) as well as supporting documentation for such recalculation. Subject to reasonable verification by Seller, the parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payments between them within sixty (60) days after delivery of any such recalculation. All matters set forth in this Article 5 shall survive Closing.
6.
Conveyance of Title. Seller shall convey fee simple title to the Real Property to Buyer by special warranty deed, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as defined in Section 8.5) (the “Deed”).
7.
Inspection Period and Entitlements Period.
7.1.
Due Diligence Materials; Inspection Period. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has, to the extent related to the particular Property owned by the particular Seller in question, delivered to Buyer copies of the items set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Initial Due Diligence Materials”), which Due Diligence Materials were delivered to Buyer by posting the same to a data room at the following web address: https://seritagegrowthproperties-my.sharepoint.com/:f:/g/personal/jmerrell_seritage_com/IgDahf3X3P6oQb9leF472jNPAZ3PvS-5WZYR9UKcQ1vmcC0?e=SzMien. In addition to the foregoing, Buyer may from time to time at any time prior to the Closing Date, reasonably request that Seller provide, to the extent related to the particular Property owned by the particular Seller in question, additional reasonable due diligence documents, materials, or information relating to such Property, and such Seller shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of any such request, deliver to Buyer copies of such requested items to the extent in such Seller's possession or reasonable control (collectively, to the extent provided by such Seller to Buyer, the Additional Due Diligence Materials and, together with the Initial Due Diligence Materials, collectively, the Due Diligence Materials”).

Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all documentation and any information provided to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller or its agents or representatives (including the Due Diligence Materials) are provided as an accommodation only and solely as a convenience to Buyer, without

to the contrary, Seller shall not be required to deliver or otherwise make available to Buyer any proprietary materials, attorney/client materials, or other privileged or confidential materials.

7.2.
Access and Inspection. From the Effective Date and until the earlier of (i) the Closing or (ii) the sooner termination of this Agreement, Seller grants to Buyer, its employees, agents, representatives, and independent contractors, permission and license to conduct engineering, market, traffic, and economic feasibility studies of the Property and a physical inspection of the Property, including the right to enter upon the Property to collect information and to perform any tests, investigations, reports, studies, and inspections to the Property that Buyer deems necessary to make its determination as to the suitability of the Property for Buyer’s intended development and/or use, including any and all environmental, structural, geotechnical, soil, groundwater, topographical, geological, subsurface, and engineering tests and studies, site planning feasibility studies, surveys, and zoning analyses (all of the foregoing inspections, tests, studies and the like, collectively, “Tests”). Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in good faith during Buyer’s performance of the Tests (at no cost or expense to Seller). Buyer shall provide Seller with at least two (2) Business Days’ advance notice of any Test performed at the Property (which notice shall be provided to Eric Dinenberg and may be provided via email to said party). Seller may have a representative present during any Property access by or on behalf of Buyer (including as to any Tests made by or on behalf of Buyer on the Property).
7.2.1.
To the extent any Tests will be performed on any portion of the Property that is subject to a Lease (other than any temporary leases or licenses for use of vacant portions of the Property unless the licensee has the right to use such portion of the Property on the date when Buyer plans to perform such Test), access to such portions of the Property (including as to any such Tests) shall be subject to the applicable terms of the Leases (including the rights of the tenants/licensees/occupants thereunder) and shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property (including any operations and activities thereon) by the tenants/licensees/occupants under any such Leases. Buyer shall not contact any tenants/licensees/occupants of the Property that is party to a Lease without Seller's prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
7.2.2.
No such Tests shall be invasive without the prior written consent of Seller, unless invasive testing (i.e., a Phase II ESA) is recommended under a Phase I ESA or related report. If Buyer has the right to conduct any invasive testing, the same shall be subject to reasonable and customary conditions provided by Seller, including, that Seller shall have reasonable approval over the scope and location of such invasive testing. As a point of clarity, a customary Phase I ESA, geotech and PCA are expressly permitted (subject to the other applicable terms and provisions hereof).
7.2.3.
All Property access (including as to any such Tests) shall be conducted in accordance with standards customarily employed by sophisticated investors in connection with the performance of due diligence review of commercial property in Dallas, Texas and in compliance with all applicable laws, codes and ordinances.
7.2.4.
Following any entry onto the Property by or on behalf of Buyer (including as to any such Tests), if Buyer’s performance of any such Tests or any other Property access by or on behalf of Buyer results in damage to any portion of the Property, Buyer shall promptly restore the Property (at Buyer’s sole cost) to a condition which is as near as possible to the condition that existed immediately prior to the applicable Test, reasonable wear and tear excepted (such obligation to survive any termination of this Agreement occurring prior to Closing for a period of two (2) years).
7.2.5.
If Buyer or Seller elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, and if requested by Seller, Buyer (at no cost to Buyer) shall promptly furnish to Seller copies of any reports received by Buyer relating to any Tests; provided, however,

Buyer’s indemnification obligation under this Section 7.2 shall survive (i) any termination of this Agreement occurring prior to Closing for a period of two (2) years and (ii) the Closing Date (if the Closing occurs), but solely with respect to any claims commenced prior to the Closing Date that are continuing as of the Closing Date and, otherwise, with respect to any claims arising on or following the Closing Date to the extent covered by the insurance of Buyer actually held or otherwise required to be held by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2.7 below.
7.2.7.
Insurance. As a condition precedent to Buyer or anyone acting on Buyer’s behalf entering the Property for any reason (including to perform the Tests), Buyer shall maintain or cause to be maintained, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, and deliver to Seller reasonable evidence of, a policy of comprehensive general public liability and property damage insurance: (a) with a combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence/$2,000,000 general aggregate and $5,000,000 excess umbrella liability, (b) insuring Buyer, and including Seller (including any other designees reasonably requested by Seller, including any property manager and lender of Seller) as additional insureds.

As a point of clarity, any party performing Tests on behalf of Buyer must be reputable and qualified and otherwise insured to the same degree as Buyer as described above or otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller (and provide Seller with reasonable evidence thereof prior to any such Property access by such party). As a further point of clarity, any Buyer consultant performing environmental Tests (including any Phase I ESA or permitted Phase II ESA) must also maintain environmental impairment or pollution liability insurance, with commercially reasonable limits (and provide Seller with reasonable evidence thereof prior to any such Property access by such party).

7.3.
Entitlements Period.
7.3.1.
Subject to the other applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to prepare and submit one or more applications to obtain the Entitlements and take all other actions as Buyer deems reasonably necessary or desirable in order to pursue and obtain the Entitlements. The period during which Buyer may apply for and pursue the Entitlements (such period, the “Entitlements Period”) shall commence upon the expiration of the Inspection Period and shall expire upon the earlier to occur of (i) January 28, 2028, and (ii) the date on which Buyer obtains the Entitlements (such earlier date, the “Entitlements Period Expiration Date”). Buyer shall pursue the Entitlements in good faith during the Entitlements Period, taking into account Buyer’s development plan for the Property, and Buyer shall have the right to determine the timing and sequencing of the Entitlement application process.
7.3.2.
For purposes of this Agreement, the Entitlements shall mean all of the following items necessary or desirable for Buyer’s intended development of the Land as a mixed-use development, which shall include a professional sports and entertainment arena or complex and may include, without limitation, parking, retail shopping, restaurants, hotels, office buildings, multifamily buildings, experiential entertainment and/or condominium buildings (collectively, the “Project”): (a) approval from the City of Dallas for an amendment or modification to the existing zoning regulations to permit the Project, (b) approval from all applicable governmental authorities for license(s) and/or an abandonment(s), (c) approval from the City of Dallas for a preliminary plat(s) (as a point of clarity, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Buyer may not file a final plat prior to Closing), (d) approval from the City of Dallas for a development and/or economic incentive agreement(s), (e) approval from all applicable governmental authorities for the modification, creation and/or implementation of a specialty district, including but not limited to a public improvement district or tax increment financing district, and

(f) any other approvals, permits or entitlements determined by Buyer to be reasonably necessary or desirable to obtain in connection with the Project. Entitlements shall be considered “obtained” by Buyer only after final approval from the relevant governmental authorities with respect to items (a) through (f) above has been received. Subject to the last sentence of this Section 7.3.2, Buyer shall have the right to submit the application for the Entitlements and request Entitlements in any form determined by Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion and Seller shall have no approval over any such applications or submissions. Buyer shall be solely responsible for payment of all costs and expenses incurred in connection with Buyer seeking and obtaining the Entitlements, including without limitation, all costs and expenses associated with defending any administrative or litigation challenges to the Entitlements. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, Buyer’s application(s) for the Entitlements shall not request, or otherwise result in, the diminishment or reduction of any of the uses that are legally permitted to be constructed on the Land as of the Effective Date or otherwise reduce any of Seller’s other existing zoning rights or add any obligations on the part of Seller (other than Seller’s obligation to cooperate with Buyer under Section 7.3.4 below), unless expressly approved by Seller in writing. The parties acknowledge that as part of the zoning of the Property as of the Effective Date, the streets that form a part of the Property (or will form a part of the development thereof) are controlled by the Streets Plan (Exhibit 887C) (the “Streets Plan”). As part of the process of applying for the Entitlements, Buyer shall have the right to amend the City’s Thoroughfare Plan in order to accommodate the Project; provided, that such amendments to the City’s Thoroughfare Plan requested by Buyer shall not terminate the Streets Plan or render the Streets Plan unenforceable as it relates to Seller’s zoning rights in effect with respect to the Property as of the Effective Date. Buyer shall not make any requests in connection with its application for the Entitlement(s) that will cause the Property to no longer be governed by the TIF District (as defined below).

7.3.3.
Buyer agrees to provide written status updates concerning the Entitlements to Seller at least once every calendar month (and otherwise reasonably update Seller as and when reasonably requested by Seller from time to time) and promptly following the achievement or delay of any significant milestones in the Entitlements processing until all of the Entitlements have been obtained

as provided in Section 7.3.2 above. Further, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller upon Buyer obtaining the Entitlements.

7.3.4.
Seller acknowledges and agrees that, upon written request from Buyer, Seller will provide prompt and reasonable cooperation to Buyer in Buyer’s efforts to obtain the Entitlements, which cooperation may include, but shall not be limited to, Seller’s execution and delivery of zoning applications, site plan applications, variance requests and/or special or conditional use permit applications; provided, that Seller shall not incur any additional cost, expense or liability as a result of providing any such cooperation to Buyer and Seller shall have the right to reasonably approve any particular forms that Seller is requested by Buyer to execute for purposes of confirming the accuracy thereof (but in no event shall this reasonable approval right be deemed to give Seller approval of the application for Entitlements generally (even if the document(s) required to be executed by Seller are being submitted as part of the collective application for the Entitlements), subject to the other applicable terms and provisions of this Section 7.3). For avoidance of doubt, but subject to the other applicable terms and provisions of this Section 7.3 (including the last sentence of Section 7.3.2), Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and confirm their intent that Seller not be entitled to approve or withhold approval for any Entitlements, including any applications or other submittals or documents by which Buyer seeks to obtain Entitlements.
7.3.5.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time prior to 6:00 p.m. CST on the Entitlements Period Expiration Date for no reason or any reason at all (in Buyer’s sole discretion), by delivery of written notice to Seller prior to the applicable date and time set forth above and without payment of any termination fee; provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, Seller shall be permitted to retain all Release Payments previously released or otherwise required to be released to Seller prior to such termination date by Funding Agent in accordance with Section 7.4. Upon delivery of any such termination notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder other than those that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.
7.4.
Deposits.
7.4.1.
On or before 6:00 p.m. CST on the third (3rd) Business Day following the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Funding Agent a deposit of $169,200 (the “First Deposit”). Within one (1) Business Day following Funding Agent’s receipt of the First Deposit, Funding Agent shall release the First Deposit to Seller in accordance with the wiring instructions provided to Funding Agent by Seller.
7.4.2.
If Buyer has not elected to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then for each month of the Entitlements Period, Buyer shall be obligated to pay Seller a payment (each, a “Release Payment”), in the amount of: (i) with respect to the first month of the Entitlements Period through and including the sixth (6th) month of the Entitlements Period, $126,900 per month and (ii) for the seventh (7th) month of the Entitlements Period and each month thereafter until the month in which the Entitlements Period Expiration Date occurs, $274,950 per month. The Release Payments shall be funded to Funding Agent (to be held in escrow in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) as follows:
7.4.2.1.
If Buyer has not elected to terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, then on or before June 30, 2026, Buyer shall deliver to Funding Agent a deposit in the amount equal to the total Release Payments owed for the first six (6) months of the Entitlements Period totaling $761,400 (the “Second Deposit”). On July 1, 2026, Funding Agent shall release $126,900 to Seller as payment for the Release Payment owed to Seller by Buyer for the first month of the Entitlements Period. Thereafter, on the first day of each subsequent month during the Entitlements

Period, Funding Agent shall release to Seller the applicable Release Payment from the Second Deposit in accordance with the wring instructions provided to Funding Agent by Seller, each in satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to fund the Release Payment for such month in accordance with Section 7.4.2, unless prior to the first day of such month, Buyer has terminated this Agreement.

$1,649,700 (the “Third Deposit”). On January 1, 2027 and on the first day of each month of the Entitlements Period thereafter, Funding Agent shall continue to release to Seller the applicable Release Payment from the Third Deposit in accordance with the wiring instructions provided to Funding Agent by Seller, each in satisfaction of Buyer’s obligation to fund the Release Payment for such month in accordance with Section 7.4.2, unless prior to the first day of such month Buyer has terminated this Agreement.

7.4.2.3.

7.4.3.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, (i) the First Deposit and all Release Payments shall be deemed to be earned by Seller upon Seller’s receipt of the same from Funding Agent (or the date Funding Agent is otherwise required to release the same to Seller in accordance with this Section 7.4, if earlier) and shall be non-refundable to Buyer, except upon a termination of this Agreement by Buyer resulting from a Seller Default to the extent expressly described in Section 17.2, and (ii) neither the First Deposit nor any Release Payments will be credited towards the Purchase Price, such that the First Deposit and all Release Payments shall be in addition to the Purchase Price.
7.4.4.
If the Closing occurs on or before the date on which the final portion of any Deposit has been released to Seller, then, that portion of the Deposit then held by Funding Agent shall be applied at Closing towards the Purchase Price, or, at Buyer’s option, refunded to Buyer. If this Agreement is terminated by Buyer in accordance with Section 7.3.5, Section 9.1, Section 13.3, Section 17.2 or any other express termination right of Buyer under this Agreement, then within two (2) Business Days following such termination, Funding Agent shall return to Buyer any portion of any Deposit then held by Funding Agent (excluding any portion of the Deposit that was required to be released to Seller prior to the date of termination in accordance with this Section 7.4) in accordance with wiring instructions provided by Buyer to Funding Agent.
7.4.5.
Seller shall have the right, together with Related Seller, to issue a joint instruction to Funding Agent to modify the allocation of the Deposit and any monthly Release Payments owed (and released to) Seller hereunder and the “Deposit” and any “Release Payments” (as such terms are defined in the Related Agreement) owed (and released to) Related Seller under the Related Agreement. Funding Agent shall comply with any such joint instruction regarding a reallocation of such Deposit, Release Payments, “Deposit” and “Release Payments” (as such terms are defined in the Related Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Funding Agent be permitted to release to Seller and Related Seller, in the aggregate, in any month more than the total applicable Release Payment and “Release Payment” (as defined in the Related Agreement) owed to Seller and Related Seller,

respectively, under this Agreement and the Related Agreement (i.e., $600,000 in the aggregate for the first six (6) months of the Entitlement Period and $1,300,000 in the aggregate for each subsequent month of the Entitlement Period). For the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall have no liability as a result of any such joint instruction (or whether Funding Agent complies or fails to comply), and Buyer’s obligations under this Section 7.4 shall be deemed satisfied with respect to each Deposit upon each date that Buyer makes each such required Deposit in accordance with this Section 7.4.

8.
Title Commitment; Survey; Title Defects
8.1.
Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as the same is made available by the Title Company), Seller, at Seller’s expense, shall cause the Title Company to provide Buyer with a commitment for an owner’s policy of title insurance covering the Real Property (the “Commitment”), and copies of all instruments listed or referenced in the Commitment as exceptions or matters subject to requirements for the issuance of a title policy pursuant to the Commitment (collectively, the “Exception Documents”).
8.2.
Within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (or as soon thereafter as the same is made available by the surveyor), Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, shall obtain a land title survey (the “Survey”) of the Property and the property being conveyed to Buyer pursuant to the Related Agreement (the “Related Agreement Property”), which Survey must (i) meet the Minimum Standard Detail Requirements (including items 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7(a), 7(b)(1), 7(c), 8, 9, 10, 11(b), 13, 14, 15 and 16 of Table “A” thereof) and the Accuracy Standards for ALTA/NSPS Land Title Surveys as adopted by the American Land Title Association, the National Society of Professional Surveyors, and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping and in effect on the date of the Survey; (ii) locate and show each exception referred to in Schedule B of the Commitment that is susceptible of location and indicate its effect on the Property (and make note of those exceptions that cannot be located and the reasons therefor); (iii) include an overall acreage and legal description for the overall Property together with the Related Agreement Property, as well as a legal description for each portion of the Property owned by Seller and each Related Seller (as applicable); and (iv) name Seller, Related Seller and the Title Company as certified parties. Buyer shall promptly deliver the Survey to Seller and the Escrow Agent upon receipt thereof. Buyer agrees to order the Survey within five (5) business days of the Effective Date and provide Seller with reasonable evidence thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary, Seller shall have the right to review a draft of the Survey in order to confirm the property lines/dimensions of the various lots that form a part of the Property and verify ownership between and amongst Seller and each Related Seller before the Survey is finalized; provided, however, that such right of review shall not constitute a right of approval by Seller and shall in no event limit Buyer’s ability to object to matters shown on the Survey in accordance with Sections 8.3 or 8.4 below.
8.3.
Buyer shall notify Seller of (i) any defects in or encumbrances upon Seller’s title to the Property (or any portion thereof) that are reflected in the Commitment and unacceptable to Buyer in Buyer’s sole discretion, and (ii) Buyer’s objections to matters shown by the Survey (collectively, Buyer’s Title Objections”) no later than thirty (30) days following Buyer’s receipt of the last of the Commitment, all Exception Documents and the Survey. Except with respect to Mandatory Cure Items, Seller may, but is not obligated to, remove, correct, and/or satisfy Buyer’s Title Objections prior to Closing. Seller shall notify Buyer within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of Buyer’s Title Objections as to whether Seller will remove, correct, and/or satisfy each of Buyer’s Title Objections in the manner indicated (if applicable) in Buyer’s Title Objections (“Seller’s Title Response”). If in Seller’s Title Response, Seller elects to cure Buyer’s Title Objections, (a) Seller shall cure the same on or prior to Closing and (b) if requested by Buyer, keep Buyer reasonably apprised of Seller’s progress toward removing, correcting, and/or satisfying the same (and the manner in which such will be removed, corrected, and/or satisfied, provided, that Buyer shall not be obligated to accept affirmative insurance over any Buyer’s Title Objection that Seller elects to cure

unless approved by Buyer (in Buyer’s sole discretion)). If, in Seller’s Title Response, Seller does not elect to cure Buyer’s Title Objections, or if Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Response, then in either event, Buyer may elect by written notice delivered to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period either (1) to proceed to Closing and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and each applicable Buyer’s Title Objection shall become a Permitted Exception or (2) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall automatically terminate and no party will have any rights, duties, or obligations hereunder, except those specifically stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement (in this regard, if Buyer fails to timely make a written election as provided above, Buyer will be deemed to have elected option (1) above). If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Buyer’s Title Objections, except with respect to Mandatory Cure Items. If, in Seller’s Title Response, Seller elects to cure Buyer’s Title Objections but the same are not cured on or before the Closing Date, then, the same shall constitute a Seller Default (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) but, if the cost of removal of the applicable Buyer’s Title Objection can be reasonably reduced to a monetary sum, then, instead of exercising the remedies set forth in Section 17.2, Buyer may, with Seller’s prior written consent, proceed to Closing and receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the amount required to remove such Buyer’s Title Objection. As an alternative to Buyer exercising the Purchase Price credit remedy above, Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days in an effort to remove or resolve any such items, provided, that (i) Seller has commenced to cure the applicable item prior to the Closing Date and is diligently prosecuting the cure to completion during such extension period; and (ii) this extension option shall run concurrent with any other extension rights of Seller under this Agreement.

8.4.
In the event that an update or modification to the Commitment or Survey obtained following the delivery to Buyer of the prior version of the Commitment or (as applicable), the prior version of the Survey, discloses any new or modified title or survey matter (including a modification in the scope of exception, requirement or coverage) that was (i) not shown on the initial Commitment or Survey (or any other updates thereto previously delivered to Buyer), and (ii) not caused by or on behalf of Buyer, Buyer may deliver written notice to Seller of the same (“Supplemental Objections”) within five (5) Business Days of Buyer’s receipt of such updated Commitment or Survey, as applicable. Thereafter, the Supplemental Objections shall be treated in the same manner as the Buyer’s Title Objections, except that Seller’s Title Response must be provided within seven (7) Business Days of Seller’s receipt of the Supplemental Objections (failing which Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such Supplemental Objections upon the expiration of said 7-Business Day period) and Buyer’s election based on such Seller’s Title Response (or deemed response) must be made within seven (7) Business Days following the giving of Seller’s Title Response or the expiration of Seller’s 7-Business Day response period if Seller does not formally respond. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to allow Seller and Buyer the full review and response times they are entitled to with respect to Supplemental Objections if the Closing Date is scheduled for a date that would occur prior to the expiration of Seller’s and Buyer’s 7-Business Day respond periods under this Section 8.4.
8.5.
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term Permitted Exceptions shall mean

(i) exceptions to title for the terms of the specific recorded instruments and other exceptions set forth on Schedule B of the Commitment, to which Buyer does not object within the timeframes prescribed in Sections 8.3 or 8.4 above as applicable or which become a Permitted Exception pursuant to the terms of Section 8.3, (ii) matters arising after the Effective Date that have been approved in writing by Buyer or, if applicable, that are otherwise caused by or on behalf of Buyer and (iii) Permitted Tenant Liens (as hereinafter defined). For the avoidance of doubt, Permitted Exceptions shall expressly exclude all Mandatory Cure Items.

8.6.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, without the necessity of objection or request by Buyer, on or prior to Closing, Seller shall be required to cure the following items:

(i) liens and encumbrances affecting the Property which secure the payment of indebtedness of an ascertainable amount (other than the lien for taxes not yet due and payable), (ii) any mortgage, security agreement, financing statement or other similar agreement that evidences or secures indebtedness, in each case encumbering the Property, any portion thereof or Seller’s interest in and to any of the Leases, (iii) any mechanic’s or materialman’s lien with respect to work performed by or on behalf of Seller, or by or on behalf of any tenant of the Property pursuant to a Lease (if any) to the extent such lien constitutes a monetary lien encumbering the Property, provided, that, if (a) such lien results from work performed by any tenant under a Lease or any other action taken by a tenant under a Lease, (b) such tenant is not in default under its Lease (beyond the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period) and such Lease is in full force and effect, and (c) such Lease obligates the applicable tenant to remove such lien within a specified time period, then such lien shall not constitute a Mandatory Cure Item (a lien satisfying the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) above being referred to herein as, a “Permitted Tenant Lien”), (iv) federal, state and municipal tax liens, in each case of Seller or an affiliate of Seller to the extent such tax lien encumbers the Property or any portion thereof, and (v) any encumbrance affecting the Property or portion thereof that is created or recorded by, on behalf of, or at the direction of, Seller after the Effective Date that was not approved by Buyer as required by the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Mandatory Cure Items and each, a Mandatory Cure Item”). If any Mandatory Cure Items have not been removed as of the Closing Date, Buyer may elect (A) to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement without regard to such Mandatory Cure Item, in which event the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of all outstanding Mandatory Cure Items that are monetary liens, or (B) treat such Mandatory Cure Item as a Seller Default (subject to applicable notice and cure periods) and exercise the remedies set forth in Section 17.2. As an alternative to Buyer exercising the remedy set forth in subsection

(A) above, Seller may extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days in an effort to remove or resolve any such Mandatory Cure Items; provided, that (i) Seller has commenced to cure the applicable item prior to the Closing Date and is diligently prosecuting the cure to completion during such extension period; and (ii) this extension option shall run concurrent with any other extension rights of Seller under this Agreement.

9.
Risk of Condemnation or Casualty Pending Closing. All risk of loss to the Property remains upon Seller until the conclusion of the Closing (subject to Section 7.2, as applicable). If, prior to Closing, either (a) condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are commenced by any person or entity with the authority of eminent domain against the Property, or any part thereof, or if Seller receives written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings against the Property, or any part thereof (each, a Condemnation”); or (b) the Property suffers any damage by fire, flood, or other casualty (a “Casualty”) then, in either such event, Seller shall give Buyer prompt written notice thereof accompanied by reasonable supporting documentation, including without limitation, with respect to a Condemnation, all written information provided to Seller by the authority commencing or threatening the subject Condemnation.
9.1.
With respect to any Condemnation, within fifteen (15) Business Days after such notice and supporting information is received by Buyer (provided that the Closing Date shall be automatically extended to allow Buyer such full response time if there are less than fifteen (15) Business Days between the scheduled Closing Date and the date Buyer receives notice of such Condemnation), Buyer may: (i) accept the Property and proceed to Closing subject to the Condemnation; or (ii) terminate this Agreement whereupon the parties have no right, duty, or obligation hereunder, except those specifically stated herein to survive termination of this Agreement (in this regard, if Buyer fails to timely make a written election as provided above, Buyer will be deemed to have elected option (i) above). In the event Buyer elects to proceed to Closing pursuant to subpart (i) above, at Closing, all awards related to the subject Condemnation shall be paid to Buyer (to the extent previously received by Seller) or otherwise assigned to

Buyer, with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and at Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any such awards.

9.2.
With respect to any Casualty, Buyer shall remain obligated to proceed to Closing, with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and at Closing, all of Seller’s property insurance proceeds (if any) related to the subject Casualty (including any rent loss insurance proceeds (if any) related to the period after Closing) shall be paid to Buyer (to the extent previously received by Seller, but net of any actual out-of-pocket demolition and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Seller to the extent required under any Lease or to otherwise secure the Property in a commercially reasonable and safe manner taking into account the then current use of the applicable portion of the Property) or otherwise assigned to Buyer (subject to the requirements of the Leases, as applicable), Buyer shall receive a credit from Seller at Closing in the amount of all deductibles associated with any such insurance that have not yet been paid, and at Closing, Seller will assign to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any such insurance proceeds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else to the contrary:
11.1.1.1.
Seller is entitled to terminate or amend any existing Service Contract in its discretion, provided no such amendment shall extend the then-current term of the applicable Service Contract beyond the Closing Date unless the same is on commercially reasonable terms, is consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business and is otherwise terminable upon no more than thirty

(30) days’ notice without penalty or fee;

11.1.1.2.
Seller is entitled to enter into any new Service Contract in its discretion consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business, provided, that if the term of such new Service Contract may extend beyond the Closing Date, such Service Contract must be on commercially reasonable terms and be terminable upon no more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty or fee;

such license will extend past June 1, 2027 (taking into account all extensions or other options, even if the exercise thereof is at the discretion of one or both parties to such license), then such license shall be subject to Buyer’s prior written approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. For the avoidance of doubt, any license entered into in accordance with this Section 11.1.1.3 shall constitute a Lease for all purposes under this Agreement;

11.1.1.4.
Seller may terminate the Leases and/or the possessory rights thereunder and otherwise enforce the Leases in Seller’s discretion consistent with Seller’s ordinary course of business (including if due to a tenant or licensee default thereunder); and

Not modify the zoning for the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion (subject to Section 7.3, as applicable) and not materially change the physical condition of the Property from the condition existing on the Effective Date without Buyer’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in Buyer’s sole discretion;

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, as of the Closing Date, Seller modifies its representations and warranties under this Agreement to reflect (a) any state of facts approved or consented to by Buyer (in writing) during the term of this Agreement, (b) a Condemnation disclosed to Buyer in accordance with Section 9 (including any for which Buyer waived its termination right, or did not have a termination right, under Section 9.1),

(c) a tax contest proceeding commenced by Seller in the ordinary course of business, or (d) any action taken by Seller that is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, none of the changes described in clauses (a) through (d) above shall constitute a Rep Breach;

13.1.2.
Seller is not in Seller Default hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods hereunder and Related Seller is not in “Seller Default” (as defined in the Related Agreement) beyond applicable notice and cure periods under the Related Agreement;
13.1.3.

Escrow Agent has confirmed in writing that it is unconditionally (except payment of the applicable premium to be paid at Closing), prepared to issue an owner’s title policy of insurance to Buyer in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and including such endorsements and expanded coverage (the costs of which are to be paid by Buyer) that the Escrow Agent confirmed during the Inspection Period was available for issuance in a final title policy based on the Commitment (the “Title Policy”); and
13.1.5.
Seller shall deliver to Buyer, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, a duly executed and acknowledged estoppel certificate, in a form reasonably approved by Buyer, from each of the tenants or licensees of the Property that are party to a Lease that will be in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the Tenant Estoppel Certificates”), dated no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date and disclosing no information that conflicts (in any material and adverse respect) with the applicable Lease or any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in this Agreement. Buyer shall provide Seller with a completed draft of each Tenant Estoppel Certificate prior to Seller transmitting such draft to such tenant for Seller’s reasonable review and approval. Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of the signed Tenant Estoppel Certificates, or any comments to the same received from the tenants, promptly following Seller’s receipt thereof.

Tenant Estoppel Certificates, Seller shall not in any way be deemed to be in breach or Seller Default under this Agreement but the same shall constitute a failure of condition under this Section 13.1.5. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if Seller delivers to Buyer a fully executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate that complies with all requirements set forth in this Section 13.1.5 and which attaches a full copy of the applicable Lease to such fully executed Tenant Estoppel Certificate, then Seller shall not have liability for the representation of Seller set forth in the second sentence of Section

10.11 with respect to such Lease (and only such Lease).

13.1.6.
All conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close under the Related Agreement are fully satisfied or have been waived by Buyer (in writing).
13.2.
Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations.

13.3.
Effect of Failure of Condition Precedent. So long as a party is not in Seller Default or Buyer Default, as applicable, hereunder beyond applicable notice and cure periods, if any condition to such party's obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, then subject to any applicable notice and cure periods provided in Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, the party benefited by such condition shall, in its sole discretion, either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date (as the Closing Date may be extended as provided below) or such earlier date as is provided herein, provided, that the Related Agreement must also be terminated simultaneously or (ii) elect to close notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event of an election to close such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition, provided, that an election to waive and proceed to closing shall only be permitted if the closing will simultaneously occur under the Related Agreement. If such party elects to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall terminate, and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, other than those obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement; provided that if such unsatisfied condition arises from a Seller Default or Buyer Default, as applicable, by non-terminating party, then subject to any applicable notice and cure periods provided in Section 17.1 and Section 17.2, the terminating party shall have the right to exercise any additional or alternative remedies available with respect to the subject Seller Default or Buyer Default, as applicable, to the extent specifically set forth in Section 17.1 or Section 17.2, as applicable.

The date of Closing will be the Closing Date set forth in the Key Terms Summary. TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE with respect to each party’s obligation to consummate the Closing on the Closing Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to any express provision of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the obligations of Seller and Buyer to consummate the Closing under this Agreement are expressly conditioned upon the simultaneous consummation of the closing under the Related Agreement, and no party shall be obligated to consummate the Closing, and neither Escrow Agent nor Funding Agent shall release any documents or funds with respect

The parties acknowledge the difficulty of ascertaining Seller’s damages in such a circumstance and agree that the amount of the First Deposit and the Release Payments represents a reasonable and mutual attempt by Buyer and Seller to anticipate the consequence to Seller of the applicable Buyer Default. Upon delivery of any such termination notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations or liabilities hereunder other than those that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement.

17.2.

In the event that an action for specific performance is commenced by Buyer under the Related Agreement in order to enforce the terms thereof, this Agreement shall remain in effect pending the resolution of such action for specific performance and,

(i) if the result of such action is that that closing under the Related Agreement will occur, then the Closing hereunder shall occur on the same date as under the Related Agreement, subject in all events to satisfaction of all conditions to Closing under this Agreement and the Related Agreement (unless waived by Buyer in writing) and (ii) if the result of such action is that the closing under the Related Agreement will not occur and the Related Agreement will instead be terminated under clause (b) of Section 17.2 of the Related Agreement, then this Agreement shall also terminate effective on the same date of termination of the Related Agreement in accordance with clause (b) of this Section 17.2.

17.3.
Cross-Default.
