THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of the 26th day of October, 2005, among XXXXXXX MACQUARIE OFFICE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (referred to herein as “Venture”), MACQUARIE OFFICE II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (referred to herein as “Contributor”) and XXXXXXX PROPERTIES, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (referred to herein as “Investor”).
 
Background
 
Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Contributor and Investor have entered into that certain Limited Liability Company Agreement of Xxxxxxx Macquarie Office LLC dated the date hereof (the “Original LLC Agreement”).
 
It is contemplated that Contributor shall contribute or cause its direct or indirect subsidiary to contribute to Venture one hundred percent (100%) of the Ownership Interests in the single-purpose limited liability company identified on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “SPE”) which is the current owner of the SPE Property (defined below).
 
In connection with such contribution to Venture, the parties intend to enter into an Amendment and Restatement of the Original LLC Agreement (the “Amended and Restated LLC Agreement”, and together with the Original LLC Agreement, the “LLC Agreement”).
 
Venture wishes to accept the contribution of the SPE, and the Contributor wishes to contribute the SPE to Venture, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and the LLC Agreement.
 
In consideration of the foregoing statements and the mutual agreements herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Contributor agrees to contribute to Venture and Venture agrees to accept the contribution of the Property, subject to the following terms and conditions:
 
ARTICLE 1: BASIC TERMS
 
1.1Contribution . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the LLC Agreement, Contributor agrees to contribute, transfer, set over and convey to Venture, or to cause its direct or indirect subsidiary to do the same, and Venture agrees to accept from Contributor, (A) the Ownership Interests in the SPE which owns Stadium Gateway, Anaheim, California and (B) cash in the amount, if any, set forth on the final closing statement. The following are collectively, the “Property”:
 
(a) The “Ownership Interests” being all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests in the SPE.
 
(b) The “Real Property” being (A) the land described in Exhibit A-1 attached hereto; (B) the improvements and fixtures located thereon, including but not limited to a Class A office building commonly known as “Stadium Gateway" with rentable area of approximately 272,826 square feet without any parking area for vehicles located on such land (collectively, the “Stadium Gateway Improvements”); (C) all and singular the rights, benefits, privileges, easements, tenements, hereditaments, and appurtenances thereon or in anywise appertaining to such real property, and (D) all right, title and interest of the SPE in and to all strips and gores and any land lying in the bed of any street, road or alley, open or proposed, adjoining such real property.
 
 

1


 
(c) The SPE’s interest as landlord in the “Leases,” being all leases of space or other occupancy agreements affecting the Stadium Gateway Improvements, including leases or occupancy agreements which may be made by the SPE after the date hereof and before Closing as permitted by this Agreement, and any and all amendments and supplements thereto, and any and all guaranties and security received by the SPE landlord in connection therewith.
 
(d) The “Personal Property,” being all right, title and interest of the SPE in and to all tangible personal property located at the Real Property and now or hereafter used by the SPE in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management, occupancy or improvement of the Real Property, including, without limitation: equipment; machinery; furniture; art work; furnishings; office equipment and supplies; and whether stored on or offsite, all tools, supplies, and construction and finish materials not incorporated in the Stadium Gateway Improvements and held exclusively for repairs and replacements in respect of the Real Property. The term “Personal Property” also shall include any and all deposits, bonds or other security deposited or delivered by the SPE with or to any and all governmental bodies, utility companies or other third parties in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management, occupancy or improvement of the Real Property.
 
(e) The “Intangible Property,” being all right, title and interest of the SPE in and to all intangible personal property now or hereafter used by it exclusively in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management, or occupancy of the Real Property, including without limitation: (i) all trade names and trade marks associated with the Real Property, including, without limitation, the name of the Stadium Gateway Improvements; the plans and specifications for the Stadium Gateway Improvements; rights of the SPE as a licensor or licensee under any license; applications, permits, approvals and licenses (to the extent assignable); (ii) to the extent relating to the period after Closing (and not to the period of Contributor's ownership of the SPE), all warranties; indemnities; claims against third parties; claims against tenants for tenant improvement reimbursements; all contract rights of the SPE related to the construction, operation, ownership or management of the Real Property; insurance proceeds and condemnation awards or claims thereto; and (iii) all books and records relating to the Property; provided, however, that Contributor shall maintain the right to access and copy the same for five (5) years after Closing.
 
The Real Property, the Personal Property, the Leases and the Intangible Property are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “SPE Property”. If for any reason whatsoever the contribution by Contributor of the Ownership Interests in the SPE which owns Stadium Gateway does not close, including, without limitation, default by Contributor, failure of a condition, breach of a representation, warranty or covenant or failure to make required deliveries, Contributor shall have the right, but not the obligation, in lieu of the contribution of the Ownership Interests in the SPE which owns Stadium Gateway, to contribute to the Venture cash in the amount of $57,600,000 in full satisfaction of all of Contributor’s obligations under this Agreement. If cash is contributed in lieu of the Ownership Interests, Investor and Contributor shall revise the form of the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement (which is attached as an Exhibit to the Master Contribution Agreement and is to be entered into in connection with the Closing hereunder) to reflect such change in assets contributed by Contributor, including (i) revisions to Section 3.1(c) of the form of Amended and Restated LLC Agreement to reflect a special cash distribution to Investor of $281,000,000, of which $186,000,000 will be distributed to reimburse Investor for preformation capital expenditures under Treasury Regulation Section 1.707-4(d), and (ii) appropriate revisions to Exhibit F to the Amended and Restated LLC Agreement (Preformation Expenditure Reimbursements by Project), as reasonably requested by Investor.
 
1.2Agreed Value . The total Agreed Value for the Property shall be $80,000,000.00. The Agreed Value shall be allocated to Contributor under the terms of the LLC Agreement as an “Agreed
 

2


 
Value” as that term is defined in the LLC Agreement and shall be considered a “Capital Contribution”, as that term is used in the LLC Agreement and allocated to the Contributor as of the date of Closing.
 
 
1.4Investor Remedies . Subject to the immediately following sentence, Investor’s sole and exclusive remedies in the event Contributor breaches or defaults in its obligations under this Agreement, and such breach or default shall not have been cured by Contributor within ten (10) Business Days after notice from Investor, and provided Investor shall not be in default hereunder, shall be to enforce specific performance of Contributor’s obligation to close the transactions provided for herein, or to terminate this Agreement (and in the event Investor so elects to terminate this Agreement, Investor may exercise any and all rights and remedies to which Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P. may be entitled under the Master Contribution Agreement). The foregoing notwithstanding, if Contributor's default or breach hereunder is the result of an intentional act or omission of Contributor which makes (and was done with the intention to make or could reasonably be expected to make) specific performance of this Agreement impracticable or unavailable, each of the Venture and the Investor may assert and seek judgment as to all other remedies available to it at law or in equity, which remedies shall be cumulative. 
 
ARTICLE 2: INSPECTION
 
2.1Contributor’s Delivery of Specified Documents . To the extent such items are presently in Contributor’s or its property manager’s possession or control, Contributor has provided to Investor prior to the date hereof, access to the information and documents set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto (the “Property Information”) related to the SPE. The terms Rent Roll, Operating Statements, Commission Schedule and Service Contracts are defined in Exhibit H. Contributor shall have the continuing obligation during the pendency of this Agreement to provide Investor with access to any document described above and coming into Contributor's, SPE's or its property manager's possession or control or produced by or for Contributor after the initial delivery of the Property Information.
 
2.2Due Diligence . Investor shall have until November 15, 2005 (the "Diligence Expiration Date") in which to examine, inspect, and investigate the Property and, in Investor’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, to determine whether the Property is satisfactory to Investor and to obtain appropriate internal approval to proceed with this transaction. Investor may terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving notice of termination (the “Due Diligence Termination Notice”) to Contributor on or before the Diligence Expiration Date. This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect if Investor does not timely give a Due Diligence Termination Notice. Upon such termination all rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except pursuant to any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement.
 
 

3


 
harm, damages, cost, or liability suffered by Contributor as a result of Investor’s or its representatives or contractors entry onto or activities with respect to the Property. If any inspection or test disturbs the Property, Investor will restore the Property to its condition before any such inspection or test. During the pendency of this Agreement, Investor and its agents, employees, and representatives shall have a continuing right of reasonable access to the Property and any office where the records of the Property are kept for the purpose of examining and making copies of all books and records and other materials relating to the Property in Contributor’s, SPE's or its property manager’s possession or control, all at Investor's sole cost and expense. Investor shall have the right to conduct a “walk-through” of the Real Property before the Closing upon appropriate notice to Contributor, and if Contributor so elects, accompanied by Contributor. In the course of its investigations, and subject to Contributor’s reasonable oversight and prior consent, Investor may, make inquiries to third parties, including, without limitation, tenants, lenders, contractors, property managers, parties to Service Contracts and municipal, local and other government officials and representatives.
 
2.4Tenant Estoppels . Contributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure and deliver to Investor, as Contributor receives same, by no later than five (5) Business Days before the Closing, executed estoppel certificates from the tenants of the Stadium Gateway Improvements in the form of either Exhibit I attached hereto or the form, if any, permitted to be given by any tenant pursuant to the terms of its Lease. Contributor shall provide Investor with copies of the tenant estoppels for Investor’s review and comment before delivering the tenant estoppels to tenants, and shall initially seek to have the tenants sign the form of estoppel attached hereto as Exhibit I (supplemented to reflect any tenant specific issues as may be commercially reasonable). Investor’s obligation to close this transaction is subject to the condition that, as of Closing (1) estoppel certificates from each of the Major Tenants consistent with the Rent Roll and the representations of Contributor in Section 7.1 have been delivered to and are satisfactory to Investor in its reasonable discretion, (2) estoppel certificates from tenants (including the Major Tenants) comprising at least eighty percent (80%) of the total rentable square footage of the Stadium Gateway Improvements consistent with the Rent Roll and the representations of Contributor in Section 7.1 have been delivered to and are satisfactory to Investor in its reasonable discretion, (3) the Leases to Major Tenants shall be in full force and effect and no material default or claim by landlord or tenant shall exist or have arisen under any Leases that was not specifically disclosed in the Rent Roll included in the initial delivery of the Property Information; and (4) no Major Tenant shall have initiated or had initiated against it any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership or other similar proceeding.
 
“Major Tenants” means those Tenant's listed on Schedule 2.4 attached hereto.
 
If any tenant estoppel discloses any facts objectionable to Investor in its reasonable discretion, Contributor shall not be required to correct the alleged objectionable facts. If Contributor is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to obtain sufficient tenant estoppels estoppels to satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.4, Contributor shall be permitted to substitute therefor one or more "owner estoppels" for not more than two (2) tenants; provided, however, that the aggregate rentable square footage of the Stadium Gateway Improvements occupied by tenants for whom an "owner estoppel" is delivered shall in no event exceed 22,000 square feet. Any such owner estoppel shall be executed by Contributor on the same form and contain the same information and representations and warranties that the tenant was required to provide, except that Contributor may qualify the statements contained in such estoppel (other than statements of objectively determinable facts) with "to its knowledge." Facts disclosed in any estoppel received from a tenant may only be reasonably considered objectionable by Investor for the purposes of determining their acceptability to Investor, if the facts, if assumed to be true, would be materially inconsistent with any of Contributor’s representations and warranties contained in any of this Agreement, the Rent Roll, the Leases, or any exhibits attached hereto, or allege a material default by the landlord.

2.5Property Management Contracts; Employees . Concurrently with the Closing, Contributor shall cause any property management and leasing agreements for the Real Property to be terminated, and Venture shall cause the SPE to enter into a new property management and leasing agreement with Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P. in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto (the "Property Management and Leasing Agreement"). It is acknowledged and agreed that Venture is not agreeing to acquire or acquiring any employees of Contributor in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Both before and after Closing, Contributor shall comply with, and indemnify Investor and the SPE against any and all losses and damages incurred in connection with any violation of, any and all laws, regulations, rules and orders applicable to employees of the SPE, other than employees of the SPE who are hired by the SPE after Closing.

If the Real Property is subject to a declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions or similar instrument (“CCRs”) governing or affecting the use, operation, parking, maintenance, management or improvement of the Real Property, upon Investor’s request with respect to a particular CCR, Contributor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to secure and deliver to Investor prior to Closing an estoppel certificate ("CCR Estoppel"), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Investor, from the declarant, association, committee, agent and/or other person or entity having governing or approval rights under such CCR.
 
ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
 
3.1Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey . Contributor has caused to be prepared and delivered to Venture prior to the date of this Agreement (or will cause to be prepared and delivered to Venture promptly after the date hereof) a current, effective commitment for title insurance for the Real Property (the “Title Commitments”) issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Agreed Value, accompanied by complete and legible copies of all documents referred to in the Title Commitments. Contributor has ordered or will order a duly licensed surveyor to prepare an update of its existing survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”), and will take such actions as are requested by Investor and as are commercially reasonable in order that Venture may obtain an ALTA-ACSM survey of the Real Property. Contributor will arrange for Uniform Commercial Code, judgment, tax lien, and litigation searches in the name of Contributor, the SPE and the Real Property (“UCC Searches”) and will deliver copies of the results promptly upon receipt and in all events prior to Closing. The Title Commitment, the documents referred to therein, the Survey and the UCC Searches are referred to herein collectively as the “Title Documents.”

delayed document) only, Investor shall have until five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the delayed Title Document to object to title matters shown therein or to such additional matters whose interpretation or understanding materially relied thereon. Contributor will cooperate with Venture and Investor in curing the objections Investor has to title to the Property, but Contributor shall have no obligation to cure title objections except liens and security interests of a definite or ascertainable monetary amount which may be removed by the payment of money, which liens and security interests Contributor shall cause to be released (or bonded over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Investor) at the Closing. Contributor agrees to remove exceptions or encumbrances to title which arise after the effective date of the Title Commitment as a result of the intentional acts or omissions of Contributor. If Contributor fails either to provide for the removal of such exceptions or objections or to obtain affirmative title insurance protection for such exceptions or objections satisfactory to Investor in Investor’s reasonable discretion prior to Closing, then, except as set forth in the second sentence of this Section 3.2, Contributor shall have no liability to Venture or Investor on account of such failure and Investor may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Contributor prior to Closing. Upon delivery of such termination notice by Investor, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except pursuant to any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement. If after the effective date of the Title Commitment the Title Company revises the Title Commitment, or the surveyor revises the Survey, to add or modify exceptions, or to add or modify the conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Investor, then Investor may terminate this Agreement if provision for their removal or modification reasonably satisfactory to Investor is not made. Investor shall have been deemed to have approved any title exception that Contributor is not obligated to remove (it being understood and agreed that Contributor shall be obligated to remove or bond over, to Investor’s reasonable satisfaction, all liens and security interests of a definite or ascertainable monetary amount which may be removed by the payment of money) and to which either Investor did not object as provided above, or to which Investor did object, but with respect to which Investor did not terminate this Agreement.
 
3.3Delivery of Title Policy at Closing . As a condition to each of Venture’s and Investor’s obligation to close, the Title Company shall deliver to Venture at Closing for the Real Property and the Stadium Gateway Improvements thereon, an ALTA Owner’s Policy of title insurance issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the Closing, in the amount of the Agreed Value, containing coverage substantially equivalent to or better than the coverage currently available to the SPE under their existing title insurance policies, insuring the SPE as owner of fee simple title to the applicable Real Property, and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and providing the Venture's Endorsements (the “Title Policy”). “Permitted Exceptions” means the permitted exceptions set forth on Exhibit K to this Agreement; real estate taxes and assessments not yet delinquent; tenants in possession as tenants only under the Leases without any option to purchase or acquire an interest in the Real Property; and any other encumbrance affecting the Real Property for which Contributor or SPE delivers to Title Company at or prior to Closing, proper instruments in recordable from canceling such encumbrance, together with funds to pay the cost of recording and canceling the same, and which encumbrance is omitted from the Title Policy. “Venture’s Endorsements” shall mean, to the extent such endorsements are available from the Title Company and generally available under the laws of the state in which the Real Property is located: (1) non-imputation; (2) Fairway; (3) all endorsements contained in SPE’s existing title policy; and (4) such other endorsements as Investor may reasonably require based on its review of the Title Commitments and Surveys, but only with respect to title exceptions not taken on the SPE’s existing title policies. Contributor shall execute at Closing an ALTA Statement (Owner’s Affidavit) and any other documents, undertakings or agreements reasonably and customarily required by the Title Company to issue the Title Policy in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Contributor shall provide Title Company with a “gap undertaking” to enable the Title Company to issue the Title Policy in the form required without exception for any item recorded between the last date of title approved by Investor and the date of Closing.

3.4Title and Survey Costs . Contributor shall pay for the cost of the Survey, including any revisions necessary to make the Surveys conform to the requirements of this Agreement, the premium for the Title Policies as if the same had been issued with standard coverage and not extended coverage, and the cost of the UCC Searches. Venture shall pay for the cost of the premium for the extended coverage provided by the Title Policies and for Venture’s Endorsements.
 
ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
 
4.1Ongoing Operations . During the pendency of this Agreement, Contributor covenants it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to do or cause the following to be done; provided, however, that except with respect to the matters described in Sections 4.1(b), 4.1(d) and 4.1(i), any failure of Contributor to do or cause any of the same shall not be a breach of or default under this Agreement; provided further, however, that all shall be a condition precedent to Investor's obligations hereunder as provided in Section 5.2:
 
(a) Preservation of Business. Contributor shall cause the Property to be operated only in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice, shall maintain current staffing levels, shall preserve intact the Property (ordinary wear and tear and casualty covered by insurance excepted), preserve the good will and advantageous relationships of Contributor with tenants, customers, suppliers, independent contractors, employees and other persons or entities material to the operation of its business, shall perform in all material respects its obligations under Leases and other agreements affecting the Property and shall not knowingly take or omit to take any action which would cause any of the representations or warranties of Contributor contained herein to become inaccurate in any material respect or any of the covenants of Contributor to be breached.

(d) Listing and Other Offers. Contributor will not list the Property with any broker or otherwise solicit or make or accept any offers to sell the Property, engage in any discussions or negotiations with any third party with respect to the sale or other disposition of any of the Property, or enter into any contracts or agreements (whether binding or not) regarding any disposition of any of the Property.
 
(e) Leasing Arrangements. Contributor will not amend, terminate, waive any default under, grant concessions regarding, incur any obligation for leasing commissions in connection with, or enter into, any Major Lease, without Investor’s prior written consent in each instance, which will not be unreasonably withheld.
 
(f) Removal and Replacement of Personal Property. Contributor will not remove any Personal Property unless it is replaced with a comparable item of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of such removal, or is obsolete and no comparable item is reasonably necessary.
 
 

7

(i) Actions by SPE. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and except as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement, prior to the Closing, without the prior written consent of the Investor (which consent may be withheld in Investor’s sole and absolute discretion), the Contributor shall not permit the SPE to:
 
(i) amend or modify its limited liability company agreement;

15


 
(a) Intentionally Omitted.
 
(b) Taxes and Assessments. Contributor shall receive a credit for any real estate taxes and assessments (including, without limitation, any assessments imposed by private covenant) paid by it to the extent such payment is applicable to any period after the Closing, even if such taxes and assessments were not yet due and payable. Venture shall receive a credit for any accrued but unpaid real estate taxes and assessments (including, without limitation, any assessments imposed by private covenant) applicable to any period before the Closing, even if such taxes and assessments are not yet due and payable, and Venture shall thereupon become responsible to pay such unpaid real estate taxes and assessments. If the amount of any such taxes have not been determined as of Closing, such credit shall be based on 102% of the most recent ascertainable taxes (with an adjustment to be effected by payment from Contributor to Venture or by Venture to Contributor upon the final determination of such amount); provided, however, that if the Real Property has not been assessed on a completed basis but will be for the current year or other applicable period, the parties shall estimate such proration based upon an assessed value equal to the Agreed Value.

Venture shall xxxx and attempt to collect such rent arrearages in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any rent arrearages. Contributor shall not have the right to seek collection from any Major Tenants of any rents or other income applicable to any period before the Closing. Contributor shall not have the right to seek collection from any other tenants of any rents or other income applicable to any period before the Closing unless and until Venture’s aforesaid attempts to collect such amounts have been unsuccessful, such amounts have been past due for more than 180 days, Contributor provides at least ten (10) Business Days prior written notice to and approval (not to be unreasonably withheld) by Venture of its intended collection notices and copies of all communications it intends to send to such tenant, and obtains Venture’s prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld) to any proposed legal action. In no event shall Contributor have any right to commence or take any action which would affect in any manner the Lease or any tenant’s right to possession of any portion of the Property or be in the form of any eviction, forcible entry and detainer or other similar action. Any rent or other income received by Contributor or Venture after Closing which are owed to the other shall be held in trust and remitted to the other promptly after receipt.
 
(d) Operating Expense Pass-throughs. Taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses incurred by Contributor or SPE in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property (collectively, Operating Expenses") shall be prorated as of the Closing. Contributor or the SPE, as landlord under the Leases, are currently collecting from tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover certain Operating Expenses (collectively, "Operating Expense Pass-throughs").

16


 
between them when the correct amount can be determined. In either event, Venture shall be responsible for crediting or repaying those amounts to the appropriate tenants.

Contributor or Venture, as the case may be, shall receive a credit for regular charges under Service Contracts pursuant to this Agreement paid and applicable to Venture’s period of ownership of the Ownership Interests or payable and applicable to Contributor’s period of ownership of the Ownership Interests, respectively.
 
(f) Utilities. Contributor shall attempt to cause the meters, if any, for utilities to be read the day on which the Closing occurs and to pay the bills rendered on the basis of such readings.

(g) Proration of other Items. Any other items of income and expense pertaining to the Property and which are customarily prorated between buyers and sellers of real property shall be prorated between the parties.
 
(h) Payments between Parties.

6.2Tenant Reconciliation and Post-Closing Adjustments . On or before May 1 of the year following the year in which the Closing occurs, Contributor shall prepare and present to Venture a final calculation of: (i) Operating Expense Pass-throughs; and (ii) the revenues and expenses described in Section 6.1, each for Contributor’s period of ownership of the Ownership Interests. Such final calculation shall include a general ledger pertaining to the portion of the year under Contributor’s ownership along with supporting documentation of tenant’s calculations and base year determinations (if applicable). Venture shall have thirty (30) days from receipt, to review said calculations of Operating Expense Pass-throughs and revenues and expenses described in Section 6.1. If Contributor or the SPE collected payments of Operating Expense Pass-throughs in excess of any tenant’s share of such expenses, Venture shall receive a credit for the excess and shall be responsible for crediting or repaying those amounts to the appropriate tenants. If Contributor or the SPE under-collected payments of Operating Expense Pass-throughs for any tenant’s share of such expenses, an adjustment will be made between the parties after year-end billing, but subject to receipt of said sums from said tenants. Venture shall attempt to collect such sums in accordance with Section 6.1(c), but Contributor shall have no right to collect such amounts from any current tenant. And if the final calculation of the revenues and expenses described in Section 6.1 is determined to have been inaccurate, either Contributor or Venture, as the case may be, shall make an appropriate payment to the other to remedy such inaccuracy.
 
6.3Leasing Commissions . Contributor represents and warrants to each of Venture and Investor that all leasing commissions due to leasing or other agents for the current remaining term of each Lease (determined without regard to any unexercised termination or cancellation right and not taking into account any unexercised extension options) have been paid in full. At Closing, Venture shall assume leasing commissions which may become due to cooperating brokers as a result of the renewal or expansion of any Lease as a result of the exercise of such right after the Date of this Agreement or any new Leases approved by Investor after the date hereof. Contributor represents and warrants to Investor that to Contributor’s knowledge, none of the leasing commissions due or to become due on the renewal or
 

17


 
expansion of any lease under commission agreements existing as of the date hereof contain above-market leasing commissions.

The obligations in this Section 6.1(a) shall survive the Closing.
 
(b) New TI Obligations. At Closing, Venture shall reimburse Contributor for the cost for New TI Obligations properly performed and paid for by Contributor if the related Lease or Lease amendment or such obligations were expressly approved in writing by Investor, and Venture shall assume the obligation to perform and pay for such New TI Obligations.
 
(c) Change Orders. Contributor shall not agree to any material change orders or additions to tenant improvements or changes in the scope of work or specifications with respect to New TI Obligations without Investor’s prior written approval.
 
(d) Evidence of Payment.

ARTICLE 8: INDEMNIFICATION
 
8.1Contributor’s Indemnity . Contributor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Venture and Investor from and against any liability, claim, demand, loss, expense or damage (collectively, “Loss”) incurred by Venture or Investor, respectively, as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties made by Contributor herein or in any document furnished by or on behalf of Contributor pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Contributor under this Agreement, but only to the extent such covenant or agreement expressly survives the Closing by its terms.
 
8.2Venture’s Indemnity . Venture agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Contributor and Investor from and against any Loss incurred by Contributor or Investor, respectively, as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties made by Venture herein or in any document furnished by or on behalf of Venture pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Venture under this Agreement, but only to the extent such covenant or agreement expressly survives the Closing by its terms.
 
8.3Investor’s Indemnity . Investor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of Contributor and Venture from and against any Loss incurred by Contributor or Venture, respectively, as a result of or arising from (i) any breach of the representations and warranties made by Investor herein or in any document furnished by or on behalf of Investor pursuant to this Agreement, or (ii) any breach or nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement on the part of Investor under this Agreement, but only to the extent such covenant or agreement expressly survives the Closing by its terms.
 
8.4Effectiveness . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of Sections 8.1, 8.2, and 8.3 of this Agreement shall become effective only upon the occurrence of the Closing and shall survive the Closing.
 
8.5Procedure . The following provisions govern all actions for indemnity under this Article 8 and any other provision of this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any Losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the other parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel (to be reasonably acceptable to the indemnitor), with the reasonable fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes, after consultation with counsel, that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in

such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend such action. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
 
8.6Limitation on Liability . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement: 
 
(a) No party shall have any liability to another party for breach of (i) any warranty or representation contained herein or in any schedule annexed hereto or certificate delivered in connection herewith or (ii) any covenant herein, unless, in either case, the indemnitee has given the indemnitor written notice stating in reasonable detail the factual basis for such breach. In the case of clause (i) immediately preceding, such notice must be given prior to the date (the “Clause (i) Survival Date”) on which such representation or warranty shall have ceased to survive as provided in Section 7.4 above, and in the case of clause (ii) immediately preceding, such notice must be given prior to the date (the “Clause (ii) Survival Date”) that is twelve (12) months after the Closing; provided, however, if a covenant breach shall have occurred less than thirty (30) days prior to the clause (ii) Survival Date, indemnitee shall have an additional thirty (30) days after such date to give such notice. In either event, no party shall have any liability to another party for any breach described in clause (i) or clause (ii) of this Section 8.6(a) unless the indemnitee shall have commenced a legal proceeding in respect of such breach: (A) in the case of clause (i), prior to the date which is three (3) months after the Clause (i) Survival Date; or (B) in the case of clause (ii), prior to the date which is three (3) months after the Clause (ii) Survival Date.
 
(b) Contributor shall have no liability to any other party for Losses pursuant to Section 8.1, or for breach of the underlying representations, warranties, covenants or agreements which are the subject of Contributor's indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.1 (“Damages”), unless and until the aggregate amount of Damages exceeds $250,000 (the “Deductible”); provided, however, after the amount of Damages exceeds $250,000, all Damages in excess of the first $250,000 shall be recoverable by the indemnitee; provided further, however, that Contributor's indemnification obligations set forth in Section 8.1, and Contributor's liability for any breach of the underlying representations, warranties, covenants or agreements which are the subject of the indemnification obligations set forth in such section shall collectively be limited to an aggregate amount for Contributor equal to $3,000,000. All Damages shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the indemnitee under insurance policies with respect to such Damages. Damages shall exclude, and Contributor shall have no liability with respect to, Losses attributable to any breaches of representations, warranties or covenants of which the indemnitee had knowledge prior to Closing and could have terminated this Agreement but chose not to do so, unless and except for (i) breaches arising out of representations and warranties known to Contributor to have been false at the time they were made, and (ii) breaches arising out of actions or omissions of Contributor willfully performed or omitted in order to cause such breach. In no event shall Contributor have any liability to any other party for exemplary or punitive damages. The provisions of this Section 8.6 shall become effective only upon, and shall survive the Closing.
