The Purchase and Sale Agreements also contain customary covenants, closing conditions, including the completion of certain improvements of the Louisiana Property and the Massachusetts Property by the respective seller, representations and warranties, and indemnification provisions.

In connection with the assumption of the Purchase and Sale Agreements, on February 23, 2012, OD FDX Louisiana and OD FDX Massachusetts entered into assignment and assumption agreements with
