The parties hereto shall cooperate to arrange for an orderly transfer of leasing responsibility from WEO and its Subsidiaries (as defined in the WEO Agreement) to EOP and its Affiliates.
8.6. Letter Commission Agreements.

The parties acknowledge that: (i) EOP has added XX0, XX0 and Ferry to its master property insurance program as of the date of receipt of the temporary certificate of occupancy for each such project. Each of FS4 and Concar will remain on their respective builder’s risk insurance policies until a temporary certificate of occupancy (or, in the case of Concar, a certificate of substantial completion from the City of San Mateo) is issued, whereupon EOP will add such project to its master property insurance program (provided that the project is still owned by the existing Project Entity and has not been sold); it being understood that a temporary certificate of occupancy has been obtained for Ferry and a certificate of substantial completion has been obtained for Concar and the parties are in the process of trying to transfer these policies.
9.2. General Liability Insurance. The parties understand that currently WEO and its members, WEO LP, WEO Inc. and the Project Entities are covered by a commercial general liability policy maintained by WEO (the “CGL Policy”) and that the XX0, XX0, Xxxxx and Concar Projects are covered with owners and contractors protective liability policies (the “OCP Policies”). Following the Closing, WEO LP will continue the existing CGL Policy which will continue to name Xxxxxx and WEO LP and WEO Inc. (under their new names) and their members, partners and owners as named insureds. Xxxxxx (including by acting as Manager of WEO) shall cause (and EOP shall cooperate with Xxxxxx in connection therewith) WEO and the XX0, XX0, and Ferry Projects and the related entities and their Subsidiaries to be removed from the existing CGL Policy and EOP will have the removed parties added to the EOP master liability policy going forward (to the extent that EOP and its Affiliates have acquired all of the interests of WEO in these Projects at or after the Closing). Each of the FS4 and Concar Projects and the related entities and their Subsidiaries will remain on the existing CGL Policy until the earlier of (i) the date such Projects are sold, (ii) the date that Xxxxxx transfers its indirect interests therein to EOP, or (iii) the date the OCP Policy for the particular Project expires (currently January 13, 2003 for Concar and April 1, 2003 for FS4), at which time, unless they are sold, they will be added to the EOP master liability policy. From and after the Closing, WEO LP will be solely responsible for paying all premiums for the CGL Policy and maintaining liability insurance for the remaining insureds on such policy on such terms and in such amounts as Xxxxxx xxxxx appropriate.
The OCP Policies for the XX0, XX0, Xxxxx and Concar Projects will be terminated when their respective Project Entities are removed from the CGL Policy and added to the EOP master liability policy or when they expire, whenever is earlier. The OCP Policies for XX0, XX0, and Ferry Project currently expire April 1, 2003 and the Concar OCP Policy expires on January 13, 2003. Premiums for the OCP Policies have been and will continue to be paid by the respective Projects. Xxxxxx (including by acting as Manager of WEO) shall use its reasonable efforts to cause the terms of the OCP Policies to be shortened to end on the Closing Date and to obtain and cause the payment of any return or refund of additional premiums resulting from such a shortening to the applicable Project.
The provisions of this Section 9 shall be deemed to modify any provisions relating to the Manager’s obligations to obtain and/or maintain insurance set forth in the WEO Agreement, the
23
Project Entity Agreements, the Development Management Agreements or the Brokerage Agreements to the contrary. The obligations of WEO LP and/or WEO Inc. to maintain liability insurance with respect to development management or leasing services shall be governed by the Development Management Agreements and Brokerage Agreements as so modified.
9.3. Worker’s Compensation and Employer’s Liability. The parties acknowledge and agree that: (i) worker’s compensation and employer’s liability insurance currently is held by WEO Inc., the sole employer in the WEO structure; (ii) such insurance will remain with WEO Inc. (under its new name); and (iii) Xxxxxx shall cause worker’s compensation insurance to be maintained by WEO Inc. after the Closing to the extent required by law.
10. Ferry Payments and Guaranties.
10.1. Post-Closing Payments Relating to Ferry. As part of the consideration for the sale of the Ferry Interest to EOPMC pursuant to this Agreement, EOP shall cause EOPMC to pay to WEO, and Xxxxxx and EOP agree to cause WEO to distribute to Xxxxxx, the Ferry Post-Closing Amount (as defined below) at the times and to the extent provided in this Section 10.1. WEO will take the payment of the Ferry Post-Closing Amount into account in computing WEO’s loss on the sale of the Ferry Interest, and this reduced loss will be reflected in the losses otherwise allocated to Xxxxxx to the extent such payment is distributed to Xxxxxx. Section 5.7 of the WEO Agreement (including its subsections) shall not apply to this distribution. The “Ferry Post-Closing Payment Amount” means the difference between (i) the capital contributed by WIC to WEO that was contributed by WEO to the Ferry Project Entity and not returned to WIC and (ii) $1,862,010.
Until the Ferry Post-Closing Payment Amount has been paid to WEO pursuant to this paragraph, each time after the Closing Date that BoA makes any Capital Contribution (“BofA Contribution”) pursuant to Sections 4.6 or 4.7 of the FBI Operating Agreement, EOP and EOP Ferry Investor shall cause payments to be made to WEO (to the extent such amounts could be distributed to the Ferry Project Entity), as follows: an amount equal to the lesser of (A)(i)(a) the amount of the BofA Contribution, minus (b) the amount of any capital contributions or loans (other than construction loans or amounts that would have been funded by construction loans consistent with the Project budget) made with respect to the Ferry Project Entity by EOP, EOP Ferry Investor or their Affiliates which were consistent with the Project budget, multiplied by (ii) 20.04%, and (B) the portion of the Ferry Post-Closing Amount that has not yet been paid pursuant to this Section 10.1. Except as expressly provided in this Section 10.1, neither Xxxxxx nor WEO shall be entitled to any payment with respect to the Ferry Project and the EOP Ferry Investor shall be entitled to all future BofA Contributions. No amount shall be payable under this Section 10.1 because all amounts that would have been payable under this Section 10.1 were paid prior to the closing and the Ferry Post-Closing Amount is therefore zero dollars ($0.00).
10.2. Release of Xxxxxx from Ferry Guaranties. From and after the Closing, neither WEO nor Xxxxxx nor any of its members, officers, employees or agents will have any liability or obligation to reimburse any member of the EOP Group for any amounts EOPOP may pay or be compelled to pay with respect to that certain Guaranty re: Investor dated December
24
2001 from EOPOP to BofA and that certain Guaranty re: Master Tenant Sublease dated December 2001 from EOPOP to FBI, including any contribution claim on account thereof.
11. Other Covenants.
11.1. Name. Following the Closing, none of Xxxxxx, WEO Inc., WEO LP or any member of the Xxxxxx Group shall use or do business (including using any web site or email address) under any name that contains the words “Equity”, “EOP”, “EOPT”, “Office Properties” or any variant thereof.
11.2. Internet. Within 30 days after the Closing Xxxxxx shall cause the registration of the internet domain name “xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx” the (“Domain Name”) to be transferred to EOP or its nominee. Promptly following the Closing (but no more than 30 days thereafter): (i) Xxxxxx shall use reasonable efforts to cause any materials (including web pages) accessed using the Domain Name to be removed from any publicly accessible server and shall not permit such materials to be so accessed thereafter; and (ii) WEO and Xxxxxx shall (and Xxxxxx shall (a) cause its Affiliates, WEO Inc. and WEO LP to, and (b) cause their (and those of its Affiliates, WEO Inc. and WEO LP) employees, contractors, consultants and the like to) no longer provide a return email address that uses the Domain Name. EOP shall allow the Domain Name to be used by Xxxxxx to forward email (or EOP may do so itself at EOP’s option), provided that all costs and expenses associated therewith are paid by Xxxxxx promptly following demand for such payment by EOP. EOP shall not be liable under any circumstances for any failure to forward or receive email. Upon Xxxxxx’x request EOP shall abandon the Domain Name and EOP’s obligations with respect thereto shall terminate.
12. Reduction in Concar Specified Equity. The Specified Equity for the Concar Project Entity shall be reduced from $8,666,243 to $7,893,187 and the $8,666,243 amount specified on Exhibit B to the Project Entity Operating Agreement for Concar shall be deemed deleted and replaced with the $7,893,187 amount. To the extent not undertaken prior to the Closing, WEO as manager of the Concar Project Entity is hereby authorized and directed to immediately distribute the following amounts to WEO and to the Concar EOP Investor as a return of capital with respect to the excess equity previously contributed by such parties: (i) with respect to the Concar EOP Investor, $773,056; and (ii) with respect to WEO, $515,370. Xxxxxx, as manager of WEO, is hereby authorized and directed to distribute immediately on receipt to Xxxxxx and to EOP, as a return of capital, their respective shares of such $515,370 in the ratio of 50.1/49.9.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1. Attorneys Fees. In the event of any dispute, including, but not limited to, any action at law or in equity, as to the enforcement or interpretation of the terms of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled, in addition to all expenses, costs or damages awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction and to any other relief to which such party may be entitled, to reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not such controversy was litigated or prosecuted to judgment; provided however that for any dispute involving WEO (a) and any EOP Party where WEO is the non-prevailing party, Xxxxxx shall be responsible for (i) all attorneys

RECITALS
WHEREAS, Owner is the [owner/master lessee] of the Property (as hereinafter defined).
WHEREAS, Owner desires to engage Broker to provide additional leasing services in connection with the leasing of the Property and Broker agrees to undertake such services on the terms set forth herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants herein contained, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Owner hereby retains Broker to solicit desirable tenants for the property located in San Francisco, California commonly known as “[Foundry Square II/the Ferry Building]” (hereinafter referred to as the “Property”) to negotiate leases for Owner’s approval with respect thereto, and to conduct such other leasing activities specified herein; and Broker hereby agrees to solicit such tenants, negotiate such leases, and conduct such other leasing activities specified herein on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
1. LEASING FUNCTIONS.
1.1. Broker Responsibility. Broker shall use commercially reasonable efforts to locate desirable tenants for available [Ferry: non-retail] space in the Property (hereinafter referred to as the “Premises”) and to negotiate preliminary terms of leases with such tenants in accordance with Owner’s then current Leasing Guidelines (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, the term “Leasing Guidelines” shall mean Owner’s policies and negotiating guidelines respecting base rental, minimum and maximum terms, rental escalations, recovery of operating expenses, rent concessions, security deposits, allowances, and other matters commonly the subject of negotiation with tenants. The current Leasing Guidelines have been provided to Broker. The Leasing Guidelines may be revised by Owner from time to time and at any time upon five days notice to Broker. Broker shall solicit and investigate prospective tenants for the Premises and at all times keep Owner fully informed of all such prospects.
1.2. Lease Negotiations. If requested by Owner, Broker shall prepare letters of intent (“LOI”) or proposals to lease (“Proposals”), provided, however, all terms and conditions
1 Xxxxxx Realty Partners, Inc., as the general partner of Xxxxxx Realty Partners, L.P., is the entity with the requisite California real estate licenses.
1
of such XXXx or Proposals must be reviewed and approved by Owner prior to submission to any prospective tenant. Unless otherwise requested in writing by Owner, Owner, and only Owner, shall engage in all communications and negotiations regarding the lease document and other substantive lease negotiations with any prospective tenants. Broker shall provide such assistance with respect to such communications or negotiations as Owner may request. Each such lease (“Lease”) shall name Owner as landlord, be subject to Owner’s approval in its sole discretion, and if approved by Owner shall be executed by Owner. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein Broker shall have no authority to bind Owner in any way with respect to any lease or any prospective tenant, including executing any lease on Owner’s behalf. Owner shall have no obligation to enter into any lease, whether or not such lease satisfies any Leasing Guidelines.
1.3. Filling Vacancies. Broker shall, so far as reasonably practicable, procure references and financial statements from prospective tenants, investigate such references, and use its best judgment in the recommendation of prospective tenants. Immediately following any vacancy, Broker will prepare adequate rental listings and promptly distribute them as it reasonably deems appropriate. The terms and conditions of each listing shall be subject to Owner’s review and approval prior to such distribution. After a vacancy is so listed, Broker will cooperate with any other brokers in any manner reasonably likely to aid in successfully filling the vacancy. Broker agrees to perform whatever services may be reasonably requested by Owner in connection with the negotiation of Leases (or the renewal, extension, modification, or cancellation thereof with proper additional compensation), so long as said services do not limit or interfere with the execution of Leases or other matters exclusively within the province of the Owner.
1.4. Exclusive Listing. [Ferry only: Except as otherwise provided in that certain brokerage agreement with Xxxxxx/Xxxxx, LLC dated and subject to Section 1.7,] Broker shall have the sole, entire and exclusive charge of the renting and leasing of the Premises, and Owner shall not authorize anyone else to act, as renting or leasing broker or agent on Owner’s behalf with respect to the Premises, nor shall Owner permit anyone else other than Broker to have or maintain any rental of “For Rent” signs about the Property; provided that the foregoing shall not prevent EOP Operating Limited Partnership (“EOPOP”) or any Affiliate (as hereinafter defined) of EOPOP from discussing the Property with any prospective tenants. All inquiries for leases for the rental of space in the Property received by Owner or on behalf of Owner during the term of this Agreement shall be referred to Broker.

1.5. Obligations of Broker. Broker shall have the sole authority and responsibility for hiring, supervising, and terminating all employees and others necessary to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. It is expressly understood and agreed by the parties hereto that all personnel hired by the Broker shall be the employees or independent contractors of Broker and that Owner shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to any such employees or independent contractors. Broker shall prepare leasing and marketing budgets annually for the Property for Owner’s approval (making changes as specified by Owner at any time and from time to time) and Owner shall either pay directly or reimburse Broker for leasing and marketing expenses as provided in any such approved budgets (to the extent such budgets
2
contemplated Broker would incur such expenses and be reimbursed by Owner). A. Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx or other senior leasing representative from Broker will be present at lease negotiating and space planning meetings when reasonably requested by Owner. Broker shall act reasonably in reporting to Owner in periodic intervals with respect to current leasing activity, including, when requested by Owner, participating in telephone conference calls with Owner’s representatives in Chicago, Illinois and participating in meetings in San Francisco with Owner’s representatives. Upon request by Owner, Broker shall: prepare a monthly leasing report or more frequently as requested by Owner; participate with Owner on a biweekly leasing conference call; develop an annual marketing plan (which shall include a proposed leasing and marketing budget) for Owner review and approval (making changes as requested by Owner); implement all aspects of the approved marketing plan; make presentations to outside brokerage houses, hold tours, events etc.; propose to Owner deal structures, prepare draft letters of intent or proposals as requested by Owner for Owner’s approval; assist with lease negotiations as requested; and assist Owner in gaining an understanding of a prospect’s business and financial condition, when requested by Owner.
1.6. Obligations of Owner. Owner shall respond promptly and in good faith to all requests by Broker for approvals or for information concerning the Property and to all other reasonable requests, provided that the approval of any Leases shall be in Owner’s sole and absolute discretion. Owner has disclosed and will promptly disclose in writing to Broker all information and materials relating to the Property reasonably material to a prospective tenant, other than Owner’s proprietary, confidential or privileged information. As and to the extent provided in Section 1.5, Owner shall pay those leasing and marketing expenses set forth in the budgets approved by Owner, provided that Owner may revise such budgets at any time. In addition, if Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxx or any substitute person specified in writing by Owner as having authority to make such a request, requests that Broker incur additional leasing and marketing expenses above and beyond those set forth in the approved budgets, Owner shall reimburse Broker for such additional expenses. Such reimbursements shall be made by Owner within 30 days after presentation to Owner of satisfactory evidence of the type and amount of such expenses, and actual receipts showing that such expenses have been incurred and paid. Except as provided in Sections 1.5 and 1.6, everything done by Broker in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and all expenses incurred pursuant hereto shall be borne by Broker without reimbursement from Owner including, but not limited to, all direct personnel costs of Broker and costs of providing office facilities and supplies for personnel, and any other expenses incurred by such personnel.

9.14. Exculpatory Clause. Each party agrees that none of other party’s direct or indirect partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries or shareholders, nor any of their respective officers, directors, shareholders, partners, members, trustees, beneficiaries, employees, agents, representatives, heirs, successors or assigns, shall be personally liable for any of the obligations hereunder and that each party must look solely to the other party’s assets (and in the case of Owner, solely to its interest in the Property) for the enforcement of any claims against such party arising hereunder. For purposes of this Agreement, the obligations of direct or indirect partners of any party to make capital contributions to such party and any deficit capital accounts shall not constitute assets of such party against which recourse may be sought.
9.15. No Discrimination. In the performance of this Agreement, Broker covenants and agrees not to discriminate on the basis of the fact or perception of a person’s race, color, creed, religion, national origin, ancestry, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, domestic partner status, marital status, disability or Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or HIV status (AIDS/HIV status) against any employee, any employee of the City working with, or

Broker shall comply fully with and be bound by all of the provisions that apply to this Agreement under such Chapters of the Administrative Code, including but not limited to the remedies provided in such Chapters.
9.18. Cigarettes and Tobacco. Broker acknowledges and agrees that no advertising of cigarettes or tobacco products shall be allowed on the Premises. The foregoing prohibition shall include the placement of the name of a company producing, selling or distributing cigarettes or tobacco products or the name of any cigarette or tobacco product in any promotion of any event or product or on any sign. The foregoing prohibition shall not apply to any advertisement sponsored by a state, local or nonprofit entity designed to communicate the health hazards of cigarettes and tobacco products or to encourage people not to smoke or to stop smoking.
9.19. REIT Qualification. Broker recognizes and acknowledges that Equity Office Properties Trust (the REIT”), an affiliate of Owner, intends to qualify as a “real estate investment trust” for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code and that maintaining such status and avoiding any activity which might cause a penalty or tax (including, without being limited to, the tax imposed on income from foreclosure property under Section 857(b)(4) of the Code, the tax imposed on the failure to meet certain income requirements under Section 857(b)(5) of the Code and the tax imposed on income from prohibited transactions under Section 857(b)(6) of the Code) to be applied is of material concern to Owner in the conduct of its business generally. Prior to such time that the REIT notifies Broker in writing that the Board of Trustees of the REIT has determined pursuant to the REIT’s Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust, as may be amended and/or restated, to revoke or otherwise terminate the REIT’s election to be treated as a real estate investment trust under the Code, Broker shall not enter into or cause Owner to enter into any agreement to engage, nor shall Broker engage in, any activities which, in the reasonable opinion of Broker or in the reasonable opinion of counsel selected by Broker, could result in (i) the prevention of the qualification of the REIT as a “real estate investment trust,” (ii) imposition of a penalty or tax (including, without being limited to, the tax imposed on income from foreclosure property under Section 857(b)(4) of the Code, the tax imposed on the failure to meet certain income requirements under Section 857(b)(5) of the code and the tax imposed on income from prohibited transactions under Section 857(b)(6) of the Code) on the REIT, or (iii) the realization by the REIT of income in the form of original issue discount.
