CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
THIS CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT (including all exhibits, hereinafter
referred to as this "Agreement") is made and entered into as of November 11,
2002 by and between Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership
(the "Operating Partnership"), and Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx III, an individual ("RFM"),
each of the entities listed on Exhibit A attached hereto (each, a "Contributor"
and collectively, the "Contributors") and the other entities listed thereon.
RECITALS
A. The Operating Partnership desires to consolidate the ownership of a
portfolio of office and other properties (the "Participating Properties")
located in Southern California and Texas through a series of transactions (the
"Formation Transactions") whereby the Operating Partnership will acquire direct
or indirect interests in the Participating Properties by acquiring direct
interests in the Participating Properties (the "Property Interests") or,
directly or indirectly, some or all of the interests in certain limited
partnerships, certain limited liability companies and certain other entities
(collectively, the "Participating Partnerships") which currently own directly or
indirectly the Participating Properties, or a combination of the foregoing.
B. The Formation Transactions relate to the proposed initial public
offering (the "Public Offering") of the common stock of Xxxxxxx Properties,
Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), which will operate as a
self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") within
the meaning of Section 856 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code") and which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.
C. The owners of the Property Interests and the partners and members of
the Participating Partnerships will either transfer their unencumbered Property
Interests or unencumbered interests in the Participating Partnerships, as
applicable, to the Operating Partnership in exchange for cash or contribute such
unencumbered interests directly to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
units of limited partnership interest ("Partnership Units") in the Operating
Partnership.
D. Each Contributor owns interests in certain of the Participating
Partnerships as set forth on Exhibit A (each, a "Partnership", and collectively,
the "Partnerships") which Partnerships own directly or indirectly interests in
certain of the Participating Properties as set forth on Exhibit A (each, a
"Property" and together the "Properties"). As used herein, "Partnership
Agreement" means the respective partnership agreement, limited liability company
agreement or membership agreement, as applicable, under which each Partnership
was formed (including all amendments or restatements).
E. Each Contributor desires to, and the Operating Partnership desires
each Contributor to, contribute to the Operating Partnership, all of its right,
title and interest, free and clear of all Liens (as defined in Exhibit D), as a
partner or member in each of the Partnerships, including, without limitation,
all of its voting rights and interests in the capital, profits and losses of the
Partnerships or any property distributable therefrom, constituting all of its
interests in and to the Partnerships (such right, title and interest in and to
the Partnerships are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Partnership
Interests"), in exchange for Partnership Units, on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein.
F. Each Contributor acknowledges that the Operating Partnership may
decide that, rather than acquiring all of the direct and indirect interests in
the entity that owns a certain Property or acquiring a Partnership Interest by
direct transfer, it is more desirable for the Operating Partnership to acquire a
particular Property by a direct contribution of such Property from the
Partnership that owns such Property (a "Direct Contribution"), or by a merger of
such Contributor (if such Contributor is an entity) or
1
a Partnership with and into the Company, the Operating Partnership or an
affiliate of either of them (a "Merger"), or to divide a Partnership into more
than one partnership to facilitate the Formation Transactions (a "Division");
and each Contributor desires to give the Operating Partnership the right, in the
Operating Partnership's sole discretion, to engage in any Direct Contribution,
Merger or Division on the terms and conditions described herein without the need
to seek any further consent or action of such Contributor, and will give hereby
an irrevocable power of attorney as set forth in Article 6 hereof and
irrevocable consents as set forth in Section 5.4 hereof.
G. In addition to the contribution of Partnership Interests contemplated
hereby, as part of the Formation Transactions, one of the Contributors, Xxxxxxx
Partners Development, Ltd. (formerly Xxxxxxx/Xxxxxx Partners Development, Ltd.)
("Development") desires to contribute certain management assets, including
contracts and employees, and liabilities to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for Partnership Units, and the Operating Partnership desires to acquire
such assets and liabilities. It is presently intended that the Operating
Partnership will contribute certain of these assets and liabilities to a taxable
REIT subsidiary within the meaning of Section 856(1) of the Code in exchange for
capital stock of such corporation.
H. The parties acknowledge that the Operating Partnership's acquisition
of the Partnership Interests, the Contributed Assets (as defined in Section
1.2(a) below) and the Assumed Agreements (as defined below), and the assumption
of the Assumed Liabilities (as defined in Section 1.4 below) is in connection
with and subject to the consummation of the Formation Transactions and the
Public Offering. It is understood that the Operating Partnership may acquire
interests in additional properties with the proceeds of the Public Offering.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, and
the mutual undertakings set forth below, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
TERMS OF AGREEMENT
ARTICLE 1.
CONTRIBUTION OF PARTNERSHIP INTERESTS
AND EXCHANGE FOR PARTNERSHIP UNITS
Section 1.1 Contribution of Partnership Interests.
At the Closing (as defined in Section 2.2 herein) and subject to the
terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, each Contributor shall
contribute, transfer, assign, convey and deliver to the Operating Partnership,
absolutely and unconditionally, and free and clear of all Liens, all of its
Partnership Interests and Property Interests (if any), including all of such
Contributor's rights and interests to the Partnerships and all rights to
indemnification in favor of such Contributor under the agreements pursuant to
which such Contributor or its affiliates acquired the Partnership Interests and
Property Interests (if any) transferred pursuant to this Agreement; provided
however, that the Contributors are not contributing any of the related
promissory notes and other side letters and ancillary agreements listed on
Schedule 1.1. The contribution of each Contributor's Partnership Interests shall
be evidenced by a Contribution and Assumption Agreement in substantially the
form of Exhibit B-1 attached hereto. Furthermore, each Contributor shall execute
or shall cause each of its individual constituent partners and/or members (as
applicable) to execute and have duly acknowledged an individual quitclaim deed
for each Property in the form of Exhibit C quitclaiming to the Operating
Partnership any direct or indirect ownership interest in and to the Properties;
provided, however, any direct transfer of title to a Property shall be made by
way of a grant deed. The parties shall take such additional actions and execute
such
2
additional documentation as may be required by each relevant Partnership
Agreement and the Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of
the Operating Partnership (the "OP Agreement") or as requested in the
reasonable judgment of counsel to the Operating Partnership in order to
effect the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 1.2 Contribution of Assets. At the Closing and subject to the terms
and conditions contained in this Agreement:
(a) Development shall contribute, transfer, assign convey and deliver to
the Operating Partnership, and the Operating Partnership shall acquire and
accept, all of Development's right, title and interest in and to those certain
properties, assets and rights (contractual and otherwise) listed on Schedule
1.2, free and clear of any and all Liens (the "Contributed Assets");
(b) Xxxxxxx Partners - WFC Holdings, LLC shall contribute and assign to
the Operating Partnership all of its right, title and interest in, under and to
the Membership Interest Transfer Agreement and Joint Escrow Instructions made
and entered into as of May 8, 2002 with GD&C Trust (the "Membership Interest
Transfer Agreement");
(c) Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx III shall contribute and assign to the Operating
Partnership all of his right, title and interest in, under and to the specific
portion of those certain Option Agreements identified on Exhibit A (the "Option
Agreements," and together with the Membership Interest Transfer
Agreement, the "Assumed Agreements"); and
(d) Xxxxxxx Partners -- Hope Place, Ltd. and Xxxxxxx Partners BGHS, LLC
will cause Bunker Hill Equity, LLC, upon the prior consent of all of the members
of Bunker Hill Equity, including the preferred equity member, to restructure and
contribute certain assets to the Operating Partnership in exchange for
Partnership Units.
The contribution of the Contributed Assets and the Assumed
Agreements and the assumption of all obligations thereunder shall be evidenced
by a Contribution and Assumption Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit
B-2 attached hereto. The parties shall take such additional actions and execute
such additional documentation as may be required by the OP Agreement or as
requested in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Operating Partnership in
order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 1.3 Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything contained in this
Agreement, the parties expressly acknowledge and agree that all assets and
properties of Development which are not identified herein as Contributed Assets
shall be "Excluded Assets."
Section 1.4 Assumed Liabilities. On the terms and subject to the conditions
set forth in this Agreement, at the Closing, the Operating Partnership shall
assume from Development and thereafter pay, perform or discharge in accordance
with their terms all of the liabilities of Development listed on Schedule 1.4
(the "Assumed Liabilities"). All liabilities of Development other than the
Assumed Liabilities are collectively referred to as the "Excluded Liabilities."
Section 1.5 Consideration and Exchange of Partnership Units.
Subject to Section 1.6, the Operating Partnership shall, in exchange for
the Partnership Interests, the Property Interests (if any), the Contributed
Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and the Assumed Agreements, transfer to each
Contributor the number of Partnership Units having a value, based on one
Partnership Unit being equal in value to the Public Offering price for one share
of the Company's
3
common stock, equal to the value of such Contributor's Total Consideration
indicated on Exhibit A. The transfer of the Partnership Units to each
Contributor shall be evidenced by either an amendment (the "Amendment") to the
OP Agreement or by certificates relating to such Partnership Units (the
"Certificates") in either case, as determined by the Operating Partnership, in
such form as shall be reasonably acceptable to each such Contributor. The
parties shall take such additional actions and execute such additional
documentation as may be required by the relevant Partnership Agreements and the
OP Agreement in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 1.6 Adjusted Consideration.
The Operating Partnership reserves the right not to acquire any
particular interest that constitutes part of the Partnership Interests, if in
good faith the Operating Partnership determines that the ownership of such
interest or the underlying Property would be inappropriate for the Operating
Partnership. Each Contributor hereby agrees that, in such event, such
Contributor's Total Consideration as indicated on Exhibit A may be reduced by an
amount determined in accordance with Exhibit A.
The risk of loss relating to each Contributor's Partnership Interests
and the underlying Properties prior to Closing shall be borne by such
Contributor. If, prior to the Closing, any Property is partially or totally
destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or is taken by eminent domain or
through condemnation proceedings, then the Operating Partnership may, at its
option, determine not to acquire the particular interest in the Partnership that
directly or indirectly owns the Property that has been partially or totally
destroyed, damaged or taken. After the occurrence of any such casualty or
condemnation affecting a Property, the Operating Partnership may also, at its
option, elect to (a) acquire each Contributor's particular interest in any such
Partnership that directly or indirectly owns the affected Property, (b) direct
each Contributor to pay or cause to be paid to the Operating Partnership any
sums collected under any policies of insurance or award proceeds relating to
such casualty or condemnation and otherwise assign to the Operating Partnership
all rights to collect such sums as may then be uncollected, and/or (c) adjust or
settle any insurance claim or condemnation proceeding. Under such circumstances,
such Contributor's Total Consideration shall be reduced by its pro rata share of
the amount of any deductibles under the applicable insurance policies or award.
Insurance on the transferred Partnership Interests shall be assigned to the
Operating Partnership at the Closing.
Section 1.7 Treatment as Contribution.
The transfer, assignment and exchange effectuated pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a "Capital Contribution" to the Operating Partnership
pursuant to Article 4 of the OP Agreement and is intended to be governed by
Section 721(a) of the Code, and each Contributor (including any transferor in
connection with a Direct Contribution, if any, as provided hereunder) hereby
consents to such treatment.
Section 1.8 Allocation of Total Consideration.
The Total Consideration shall be allocated in a manner reasonably agreed
upon by the Operating Partnership and each Contributor. The Operating
Partnership and each Contributor agree to (i) be bound by the allocation, (ii)
act in accordance with the allocation in the preparation of financial statements
and filing of all tax returns and in the course of any tax audit, tax review or
tax litigation relating thereto and (iii) take no position and cause their
affiliates to take no position inconsistent with the allocation for income tax
purposes.

Section 1.9 Term of Agreement.
If the Closing does not occur by June 30, 2003 (the "Termination Date"),
this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and shall be of no further force and
effect and neither the Operating Partnership nor any Contributor shall have any
further obligations hereunder except as specifically set forth herein.
Section 1.10 Final Year Allocations.
To the extent a Partnership Agreement does not provide for final year
tax allocations, the parties hereto agree to use the "interim closing of the
books" method as provided in Section 706 of the Code to allocate income and loss
for the year.
Section 1.11 Sale Limitations and Debt Guarantees.
In connection with the Formation Transactions, the Operating Partnership
has agreed to certain limitations on its ability to sell its direct or indirect
interests in the Participating Properties and to make certain debt available to
be guaranteed by certain Contributors, as set forth on Exhibit F.
Section 1.12 Pre-Closing Transactions.
Attached to Schedule 1.2 hereto is a schedule of intercompany
obligations of Development, its affiliates, and certain individuals and other
entities, as of September 30, 2002 (the "Intercompany Schedule").
Contemporaneously with or prior to the Closing Date, all accounts receivable or
payable from or to a Participating Partnership or Entity (as defined in Exhibit
D) that will be owned in whole (denoted by "I" on the attached Intercompany
Schedule) or in part (denoted by "%"on the attached Intercompany Schedule),
directly or indirectly, by the Operating Partnership upon consummation of the
Formation Transactions, on the one hand, to or from a partnership, entity or RFM
or his affiliates that will not be owned in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, by the Operating Partnership upon consummation of the Formation
Transactions (denoted by "O" on the attached Intercompany Schedule), on the
other hand, will be contributed/distributed, contributed, paid, merged,
satisfied, written-off or forgiven, to the extent such action would be shown on
an intercompany schedule updated as of the Closing Date, based on the principles
used in and the method of preparation of the Intercompany Schedule as attached
hereto (the "Closing Intercompany Schedule"). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall have no right to
acquire, directly or indirectly, any receivable that will result in a direct or
indirect extension of credit, in the form of a personal loan, to or for any
director or executive officer of the Company within the meaning of Section 402
of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002, and any such receivable not previously
satisfied or distributed shall be deemed to have been distributed by the
relevant Participating Partnership or Entity to its owners immediately prior to
the Closing, or if necessary, shall be forgiven effective as of the Closing.
Contributors each acknowledge that no accounts payable, that the Operating
Partnership, directly or indirectly, will assume immediately following
consummation of the Formation Transactions, after taking into account all
contributions, distributions, payments, mergers, satisfactions, write-offs or
other forgiveness, will be owed to RFM or any of his affiliates (including the
other Contributors).

(iii) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or
Prospectus, mortgage, pledge or encumber (or permit to become encumbered) all or
any portion of its Partnership Interests or Contributed Assets.
(b) From the date hereof through the Closing, and except in connection
with the Formation Transactions, each Contributor, shall to the extent within
his or its control, conduct the Partnership's business in the ordinary course of
business, consistent with past practice, and shall, to the extent within his or
its control, not permit any Partnership, without the prior written consent of
the Operating Partnership, to:
(i) Enter into any material transaction not in the ordinary course
of business with respect to the Partnership Interest;
(ii) Sell, transfer or dispose of, or cause the sale, transfer or
disposition of (or agree to do any of the foregoing) any assets of such
Partnership, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past
practice;
(iii) Except as otherwise disclosed in the Disclosure Schedule or
Prospectus, mortgage, pledge or encumber (or permit to become encumbered) any
assets of such Partnership, except (A) liens for taxes not due, (B) purchase
money security interests in the ordinary course of such Partnership's business,
and (C) mechanics' liens being disputed by such Partnership in good faith and by
appropriate proceeding in the ordinary course of such Partnership's business
(provided such mechanics liens are released from the Property Interest prior to
or on the Closing Date at no cost to the Operating Partnership);
(iv) Amend, modify or terminate any lease, contract or other
instruments relating to the Partnership Interests or the Property Interests to
which such Partnership is a party, except in the ordinary course of the
Partnership's business consistent with past practice;
(v) Cause or permit any Partnership to change the existing use of
any Property;
10
(vi) Cause or permit any Partnership to enter into any new lease or
terminate any existing Lease except in the ordinary course of the Partnership's
business consistent with past practice;
(vii) Cause or take any action that would render any of the

untrue in any material respect;
(viii) Terminate or amend any existing insurance policies affecting

(x) Materially alter the manner of keeping such Partnership's books,

(xi) Make any distribution to its partners, except in the ordinary
course of business consistent with past practices or as disclosed in the
financial statements or pro forma financial statements included in the
Prospectus.
(c) From the date hereof and subsequent to the Closing, each Contributor
agrees to provide the Operating Partnership with such tax information relating
to the Partnership Interests as reasonably requested by the Operating
Partnership and to cooperate with the Operating Partnership with respect to its
filing of tax returns.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
failure by any Contributor to comply with or fulfill the covenants contained in
this Section 4.1 shall not constitute an indemnifiable claim under Article 3 of
Exhibit D attached hereto, but shall constitute an unfulfilled condition
precedent pursuant to Section 2.1(b), provided such failure is identified to or
otherwise becomes known to the Operating Partnership prior to Closing.
Section 4.2 Tax Covenants.
(a) Each Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall provide each
other with such cooperation and information relating to any of the Partnership
Interests as the parties reasonably may request in (i) filing any tax return,
amended tax return or claim for tax refund, (ii) determining any liability for
taxes or a right to a tax refund, or (iii) conducting or defending any
proceeding in respect of taxes. The Operating Partnership shall promptly notify
the applicable Contributor in writing upon receipt by the Operating Partnership
or any of its affiliates of notice of (i) any pending or threatened tax audits
or assessments with respect to the Partnerships and (ii) any pending or
threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or assessments of the
Operating Partnership or any of its affiliates, in each case which may affect
the liabilities for taxes of such Contributor with respect to any tax period
ending on or before the Closing Date. Each Contributor shall promptly notify the
Operating Partnership in writing upon receipt by such Contributor of notice of
any pending or threatened federal, state, local or foreign tax audits or
assessments relating to the income, properties or operations of any of the
Partnerships. Each of the Operating Partnership, and each Contributor may
participate at its own expense in the prosecution of any claim or audit with
respect to taxes attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the
Closing Date, provided, that such Contributor shall have the right to control
the conduct of any such audit or proceeding or portion thereof for which such
Contributor (or its owners) has acknowledged liability (except as a partner of
the Operating Partnership) for the payment of any additional tax liability, and
the Operating Partnership shall have the right to control any other audits and
proceedings. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Operating Partnership
nor any
11
Contributor may settle or otherwise resolve any such claim, suit or proceeding
which could have an adverse tax effect on the other party or its owners without
the consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Each Contributor and the Operating Partnership shall retain all tax returns,
schedules and work papers, and all material records and other documents relating
thereto, until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent
notified by any party, any extensions thereof) of the taxable years to which
such tax returns and other documents relate and until the final determination of
any tax in respect of such years.
(b) With respect to each Property that is contributed to the Operating
Partnership pursuant to this Agreement, the Operating Partnership and each
Contributor agrees that the Operating Partnership shall use the "traditional
method", as described in Regulations Section 1.704-3(b), to make allocations of
taxable income and loss among the partners of the Operating Partnership.
ARTICLE 5.
RELEASES AND WAIVERS
Each of the releases and waivers enumerated in this Article 5 shall
become effective only upon the Closing of the contribution and exchange of the
Partnership Interests pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 herein.
Section 5.1 General Release of Operating Partnership.
As of the Closing, each Contributor irrevocably waives, releases and
forever discharges the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership's
affiliates, partners (including the Company), agents, attorneys, successors and
assigns of and from, any and all charges, complaints, claims, liabilities,
damages, actions, causes of action, losses and costs of any nature whatsoever
(collectively, "Contributor Claims"), known or unknown, suspected or
unsuspected, arising out of or relating to any Partnership Agreement, the
Properties or any other matter which exists at the Closing, except for

nature whatsoever (collectively, "Operating Partnership Claims"), known or
unknown, suspected or unsuspected, arising out of or relating to any Partnership
Agreement, the Properties or any other matter which exists at the Closing,
except for Operating Partnership Claims arising from any Excluded Liabilities or
from the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or obligation by any

expressly acknowledge that it has had, or has had and waived, the opportunity to
be advised by independent legal counsel and hereby waives and relinquishes all
rights and benefits afforded by Section 1542 of the
12
California Civil Code and does so understanding and acknowledging the
significance and consequence of such specific waiver of Section 1542 which
provides:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES

THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED THE
SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
Section 5.4 Waiver of Rights Under Partnership Agreements; Consents With
Respect to Partnership Interests.
(a) As of the Closing, each Contributor waives and relinquishes all
rights and benefits otherwise afforded to such Contributor under any Partnership
Agreement including, without limitation, any rights of appraisal, rights of
first offer or first refusal, buy/sell agreements, and any right to consent to
or approve of the sale or contribution by the other partners or members of each
Partnership of their Partnership Interests to the Operating Partnership, the
Company or any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof. Each Contributor
acknowledges that the agreements contained herein and the transactions
contemplated hereby and any actions taken in contemplation of the transactions
contemplated hereby may conflict with, and may not have been contemplated by,
certain Partnership Agreements or other agreements among one or more holders of
such Partnership Interests or one or more of the partners of any such
Partnership. With respect to each Partnership and each Property in which a
Partnership Interest of such Contributor represents a direct or indirect
interest, such Contributor expressly gives all Consents (and any consents
necessary to authorize the proper parties in interest to give all Consents) and
Waivers necessary or desirable to (i) facilitate any Conveyance Action (as
hereinafter defined) relating to such Partnership or Property, (ii) cause the
Partnership to have authority to transfer the Partnership Interests or
Properties to the Operating Partnership, and (iii) receive Partnership Units
directly from the Partnership if the Partnership or one or more of the
Partnership's subsidiaries transfers assets or interests directly to the
Operating Partnership (rather than such Contributor contributing its or his
Partnership Interests hereunder) and to reduce the consideration otherwise
payable by the Operating Partnership hereunder as a result of such direct
transfer by the Partnership or its subsidiaries on account of such Contributor
receiving any amount reduced hereunder from such Partnership or its subsidiaries
making such direct transfer. In addition, if the transaction occurs this
Agreement shall be deemed to be an amendment to any Partnership Agreement to the
extent the terms herein conflict with the terms thereof, including without
limitation, terms with respect to allocations, distributions and the like. In
the event the transactions contemplated by this Agreement do not occur, nothing
in this Agreement shall be deemed to or construed as an amendment or
modification of, or commitment of any kind to amend or modify, the Partnership
Agreements, which shall remain in full force and effect without modification.
(b) As used herein, the term "Conveyance Action" means, with respect to
any Partnership having a direct or indirect ownership interest in any Property
Interest, (i) the transfer, conveyance or agreement to convey by a partner
thereof or by any holder of an indirect interest therein (whether or not such
partner or holder is the Contributor hereunder) directly, by Direct
Contribution, Merger, Division or otherwise of its direct or indirect interest
in such Partnership or Property to the Operating Partnership or the Company or
(ii) the entering into by any such partner or holder any agreement relating to
(x) the formation of the Operating Partnership or the Company, or (y) the direct
or indirect acquisition by the Operating Partnership or the Company of any such
direct or indirect interest or (iii) the taking by any such partner or holder of
any action necessary or desirable to facilitate any of the foregoing, including,
without limitation, the following (provided that the same are taken in
furtherance of the foregoing): any sale or distribution to any Person of a
direct or indirect interest in such Partnership or Property, the entering into
any agreement with any Person that grants to such Person the right to purchase a
direct or indirect interest in such
13
Partnership or Property, and the giving of the Consents and Waivers contained in
this Section or consents or waivers similar thereto in form or purpose.
(c) As used herein, the term "Consents" means, with respect to any such
Partnership or Property, any consent necessary or desirable under any
Partnership Agreement or any other agreement among all or any of the holders of
interests therein or any other agreement relating thereto or referred to therein
(i) to cause the Partnership to have authority to permit any and all Conveyance
Actions relating to such Partnership or Property or to amend any such
Partnership Agreement and/or other agreements so that no provision thereof
prohibits, restricts, impairs or interferes with any Conveyance Action (such
amendments to include, without limitation, the deletion of provisions which
cause a default under such agreement if interests therein are transferred for
cash), (ii) to admit the Operating Partnership as a substitute limited partner
or general partner of such Partnership upon the Operating Partnership's
acquisition of a limited or general Partnership Interest therein, respectively,
and to adopt such amendment as is necessary or desirable to effect such
admission, (iii) to adopt any amendment to a Partnership Agreement as may be
deemed desirable by the Operating Partnership, either simultaneously with or
immediately prior to the acquisition of any interest therein, and (iv) to
continue such Partnership following the transfer of interest therein to the
Operating Partnership.
(d) As used herein, the term "Waivers" means, with respect to a
Partnership or a Property of which a Partnership Interest of such Contributor
represents a direct or indirect interest, the waiving of any and all rights that
such Contributor may have with respect to, and (to the extent possible) that any
other Person may have with respect to, or that may accrue to such Contributor or
other Person upon the occurrence of, a Conveyance Action relating to such
Partnership or Property, including, but not limited to, the following rights:
rights of notice, rights to response periods, rights to purchase the direct or
indirect interests of another partner in such Partnership or Property or to sell
such Contributor's or other Person's direct or indirect interest therein to
another partner, rights to sell such Contributor's or other Person's direct or
indirect interest therein at a price other than as provided herein, or rights to
prohibit, limit, invalidate, otherwise restrict or impair any such Conveyance
Action or to cause a termination or dissolution of such Partnership because of
such Conveyance Action. Each Contributor further covenants that such Contributor
will take no action to enjoin, or seek damages resulting from, any Conveyance
Action by any holder of a direct or indirect interest in a Partnership or a
Property in which a Partnership Interest of such Contributor represents a direct
or indirect interest.
(e) The Waivers and Consents contained in this Section shall terminate
upon the termination of this Agreement, except as to transactions completed
hereunder prior to termination.
ARTICLE 6.
POWER OF ATTORNEY
Section 6.1 Grant of Power of Attorney.
Each Contributor hereby irrevocably appoints the Operating
Partnership (or its designee) and any successor thereof from time to time (such
Operating Partnership or designee or any such successor of any of them acting in
his, her or its capacity as attorney-in-fact pursuant hereto, the
"Attorney-In-Fact") as the true and lawful attorney-in-fact and agent of such
Contributor, to act in the name, place and stead of such Contributor to make,
execute, acknowledge and deliver all such other deeds (including grant deeds if
applicable), assignments, contracts, orders, receipts, notices, requests,
instructions, certificates, consents, letters and other writings (including
without limitation the execution of any Closing Documents or other documents
relating to the acquisition by the Operating Partnership of such Contributor's
Partnership Interests, the Contributed Assets, the Assumed Agreements or the
Assumed Liabilities including, but not limited to, any registration rights
agreements and any lock-up
14
agreements), to provide information to the Securities and Exchange Commission
and others about the transactions contemplated hereby and, in general, to do all
things and to take all actions which the Attorney-in-Fact in its sole discretion
may consider necessary or proper in connection with or to carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as fully as could such Contributor
if personally present and acting (the "Power of Attorney"). Further, each
Contributor hereby grants to Attorney-in-Fact a proxy (the "Proxy") to vote such
Contributor's Partnership Interests on any matter related to the Formation
Transactions presented to any of the Partnerships' partners for a vote,
including, but not limited to, the transfer of interests in any Partnership by
the other partners.
Each of the Power of Attorney and Proxy and all authority granted
hereby shall be coupled with an interest and therefore shall be irrevocable and
shall not be terminated by any act of such Contributor, by operation of law or
by the occurrence of any other event or events, and if any other such act or
events shall occur before the completion of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement, the Attorney-in-Fact shall nevertheless be authorized and
directed to complete all such transactions as if such other act or events had
not occurred and regardless of notice thereof. Each Contributor agrees that, at
the request of Operating Partnership it will promptly execute and deliver to the
Operating Partnership a separate power of attorney and proxy on the same terms
set forth in this Article 6, such execution to be witnessed and notarized, and
in recordable form (if necessary). Each Contributor hereby authorizes the
reliance of third parties on each of the Power of Attorney and Proxy.
Each Contributor acknowledges that the Operating Partnership has,
and any designee or successor thereof acting as Attorney-in-Fact may have, an
economic interest in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
Section 6.2 Limitation on Liability.
It is understood that the Attorney-in-Fact assumes no responsibility
or liability to any person by virtue of the Power of Attorney or Proxy granted
by each Contributor hereby. The Attorney-in-Fact makes no representations with
respect to and shall have no responsibility for the Formation Transactions or
the Public Offering, or the acquisition of the Partnership Interests, the
Contributed Assets or the Assumed Agreements by the Operating Partnership or the
assumption of the Assumed Liabilities by the Operating Partnership and shall not
be liable for any error or judgment or for any act done or omitted or for any
mistake of fact or law except for its own gross negligence or bad faith. Each
Contributor agrees to indemnify the Attorney-in-Fact for and to hold the
Attorney-in-Fact harmless against any loss, claim, damage or liability
(including reasonably attorneys' fees) incurred on its part arising out of or in
connection with it acting as the Attorney-in-Fact under the Power of Attorney or
Proxy created by such Contributor hereby, as well as the cost and expense of
investigating and defending against any such loss, claim, damage or liability,
except to the extent such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to the gross
negligence or bad faith of the Attorney-in-Fact. Each Contributor agrees that
the Attorney-in-Fact may consult with counsel of its own choice (who may be
counsel for Operating Partnership or its successors or affiliates), and it shall
have full and complete authorization and protection for any action taken or
suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of
such counsel. It is understood that the Attorney-in-Fact may, without breaching
any express or implied obligation to such Contributor hereunder, release, amend
or modify any other power of attorney or proxy granted by any other person under
any related agreement.
Section 6.3 Ratification; Third Party Reliance.
Each Contributor hereby ratifies and confirms that the
Attorney-in-Fact shall lawfully do or cause to be done by virtue of the exercise
of the powers granted unto it by such Contributor under this
15
Article 6, and each Contributor authorizes the reliance of third parties on this
Power of Attorney and waives its rights, if any, as against any such third party
for its reliance hereon.
ARTICLE 7.
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1 Dispute Resolution.
The parties hereby agree that, in order to obtain prompt and
expeditious resolution of any disputes under this Agreement, each claim, dispute
or controversy of whatever nature, arising out of, in connection with, or in
relation to the interpretation, performance or breach of this Agreement (or any
other agreement contemplated by or related to this Agreement or any other
agreement between the parties), including without limitation any claim based on
contract, tort or statute, or the arbitrability of any claim hereunder (an
"Arbitrable Claim"), shall, subject to Section 7.1(i) below, be settled by final
and binding arbitration conducted in Los Angeles, California. The arbitrability
of any Arbitrable Claims under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance
with a two-step dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration
& Mediation Services, Inc. ("JAMS") involving, first, mediation before a retired
judge from the JAMS panel, followed, if necessary, by final and binding
arbitration before the same, or if requested by either party, another JAMS
panelist. Such dispute resolution process shall be confidential and shall be
conducted in accordance with California Evidence Code Section 1119.
(i) Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not resolved by
an informal negotiation between the parties within fifteen (15) days after
either party receives written notice that a Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter
shall be referred to the Los Angeles, California office of JAMS, or any other
office agreed to by the parties, for an informal, non-binding mediation
consisting of one or more conferences between the parties in which a retired
judge will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims.
The parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the
JAMS panel of mediators. In the event the parties cannot agree on a mediator,
the Administrator of JAMS will appoint a mediator. The mediation process shall
continue until the earliest to occur of the following: (i) the Arbitrable Claims
are resolved, (ii) the mediator makes a finding that there is no possibility of
resolution through mediation, or (iii) thirty (30) days have elapsed since the
Arbitrable Claim was first scheduled for mediation.
(ii) Arbitration. Should any Arbitrable Claims remain after the
completion of the mediation process described above, the parties agree to submit
all remaining Arbitrable Claims to final and binding arbitration administered by
JAMS in accordance with the then existing JAMS Arbitration Rules. Neither party
nor the arbitrator shall disclose the existence, content, or results of any
arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of all parties. Except
as provided herein, the California Arbitration Act shall govern the
interpretation, enforcement and all proceedings pursuant to this subparagraph.
The arbitrator is without jurisdiction to apply any substantive law other than
the laws selected or otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement. The
arbitrator shall render an award and a written, reasoned opinion in support
thereof. Such award may include reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing
party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction
thereof.
(iii) Costs. The parties shall bear their respective costs incurred
in connection with the procedures described in this Section 7.1, except that the
parties shall equally share the fees and expenses of the mediator or arbitrator
and the costs of the facility for the hearing.
(iv) Survivability. This dispute resolution process shall survive
the termination of this Agreement. The parties expressly acknowledge that by
signing this Agreement, they are giving up their respective right to a jury
trial.
16
Section 7.2 Further Assurances.
Each Contributor shall take such other actions and execute such
additional documents following the Closing as the Operating Partnership may
reasonably request in order to effect the transactions contemplated hereby.
Section 7.3 Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
Section 7.4 Governing Law.
This Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State
of California, without regard to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
Section 7.5 Amendment; Waiver.
Any amendment hereto shall be in writing and signed by all parties
hereto. No waiver of any provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in
writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.
Section 7.6 Entire Agreement.
This Agreement and all related agreements referred to herein
constitute the entire agreement and supersede conflicting provisions set forth
in all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
Section 7.7 Assignability.
This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall be enforceable by
and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective heirs,
legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this
Agreement may not be assigned (except by operation of law) by any party without
the prior written consent of the other parties, and any attempted assignment
without such consent shall be void and of no effect, except that the Operating
Partnership, may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate.
Section 7.8 Titles.
The titles and captions of the Articles, Sections and paragraphs of
this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall have no
effect on the construction or meaning of this Agreement.
Section 7.9 Third Party Beneficiary.
Except as may be expressly provided in any other agreement to which
the Contributors are a party, no provision of this Agreement is intended, nor
shall it be interpreted, to provide or create any third party beneficiary rights
or any other rights of any kind in any customer, affiliate, stockholder,
partner, member, director, officer or employee of any party hereto or any other
person or entity.
17
Section 7.10 Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, is
for any reason held to any extent to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder
of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or
circumstances will be interpreted so as reasonably to effect the intent of the
parties hereto. The parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable
provision of this Agreement with a valid and enforceable provision that will
achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of
the void or unenforceable provision and to execute any amendment, consent or
agreement deemed necessary or desirable by the Operating Partnership to effect
such replacement.
Section 7.11 Equitable Remedies.
Each Contributor agrees that irreparable damage would occur to the
Operating Partnership in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise
breached. It is accordingly agreed that the Operating Partnership shall be
entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement
by such Contributor and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof
in any federal or state court located in California (as to which the parties
agree to submit to jurisdiction for the purposes of such action), this being in
addition to any other remedy to which the Operating Partnership is entitled
under this Agreement or otherwise at law or in equity. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement shall not bar any equitable remedies available to
Contributor with respect to the terms and provisions contained in Exhibit F.
Section 7.12 Confidentiality.
All press releases or other public communications of any kind
relating to the Public Offering or the transactions contemplated herein, and the
method and timing of release for publication thereof, will be subject to the
prior written approval of the Operating Partnership.
Section 7.13 Time Of The Essence.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE with respect to all obligations of each
Contributor under this Agreement.
Section 7.14 Reliance.
Each party to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that it is not
relying on tax advice or other advice from the other party to this Agreement,
and that it has or will consult with its own advisors.
Section 7.15 Survival.
It is the express intention and agreement of the parties hereto that
the representations, warranties and covenants of each Contributor and the
Operating Partnership set forth in this Agreement shall survive the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby. The provisions of this Agreement that
contemplate performance after the Closing and the obligations of the parties not
fully performed at the Closing shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed
to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing.
18
Section 7.16 Notice.
Any notice to be given hereunder by any party to the other shall be
given in writing by either (i) personal delivery, (ii) registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, or (iii) facsimile transmission
(provided such facsimile is followed by an original of such notice by mail or
personal delivery as provided herein), and any such notice shall be deemed
communicated as of the date of delivery (including delivery by overnight
courier, certified mail or facsimile). Mailed notices shall be addressed as set
forth below, but any party may change the address set forth below by written
notice to other parties in accordance with this paragraph.

This Contribution and Assumption Agreement (this "Agreement") is dated
as of ____________, 200__, by and between Xxxxxxx Partners - Development, Ltd.
("Contributor") and Xxxxxxx Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership
(the "Operating Partnership"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein

Exhibit A thereto.
Recitals
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, the Operating
Partnership has agreed to acquire the Contributed Assets and the Assumed
Agreements and assume the Assumed Liabilities (the "Contribution");
WHEREAS, in connection with the Contribution, Contributor
desires to assign all of its rights, title and interest in and to the
Contributed Assets and the Assumed Agreements to the Operating Partnership and
the Operating Partnership desires to accept such assignment of Contributor's
right, title and interest in and to such Assumed Agreements; and
WHEREAS, in partial consideration for such Contributed Assets
and Assumed Agreements, the Contribution Agreement requires that Operating
Partnership assume and agree to pay or discharge when due the Assumed
Liabilities; and
NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the terms of the Contribution
Agreement and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency
of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be bound hereby, the parties
hereto agree as follows:
Contribution and Assumption
1 Assignment of Contributed Assets and Assumed
Agreements. Contributor hereby absolutely and unconditionally sells, assigns,
transfers, conveys and delivers to the Operating Partnership all of its right,
title, benefit, privileges and interest in, to and under all of the Contributed
Assets and the Assumed Agreements, as listed on Schedule A attached hereto,
together with all amendments, waivers, supplements and other modifications of
and to such agreements, contracts, licenses and other instruments through the
date hereof, in each case to the fullest extent assignment thereof is permitted
by applicable law.
2 Assumption of Assumed Liabilities. The Operating
Partnership hereby absolutely and unconditionally accepts the foregoing
assignment of each Contributed Asset and Assumed Agreement and assumes all
Assumed Liabilities (but not the Excluded Liabilities) in respect of the Assumed
Agreements, and agrees to be bound by the terms, conditions and covenants
thereof, and to perform all duties and obligations of Contributor thereunder
from and after the date hereof. The Operating Partnership assumes no Excluded
Liabilities, and the parties thereto agree that all Excluded Liabilities shall
remain the sole responsibility of the Contributors.
Exhibit B-2, Page 1
3 Third Parties. The assumption by the Operating
Partnership of the Assumed Agreements does not expand the rights or the remedies
of any third party against the Operating Partnership as compared to the rights
and remedies which such third party would have had against Contributor had the
Operating Partnership not assumed the Assumed Agreements or consummated the
transactions contemplated by the Contribution Agreement. Nothing herein
contained shall, or shall be construed to, prejudice the right of the Operating
Partnership to contest any claim or demand with respect to any obligation or
liability assumed hereunder and the Operating Partnership shall have all rights
which Contributor may have or have had to defend or contest any such claim or
demand. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, nothing
herein contained shall constitute an agreement (or an attempt) to assign or
transfer any Assumed Contract which is not assignable without the consent of a
third party, unless and until such consent has been obtained.
4 Governing Laws. This Agreement, the legal relations
between the parties hereto and the adjudication and the enforcement thereof,
shall be governed by and interpreted and construed in accordance with the
substantive laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice
of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California
or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any
jurisdiction other than the State of California.
5 Successors and Assigns. No party may assign any of
its rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without the
prior written consent of the other parties, except that the Operating
Partnership may, without the prior written consent of any Contributor, assign
any of its rights and delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement to
any subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and may collaterally assign its
rights hereunder to any lender in a bona fide financing (including, without
limitation, the financing to be provided in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Contribution Agreement). Subject to the preceding sentence,
this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Operating
Partnership and Contributor and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.
6 Further Assurances. Contributor for itself, its
successors and assigns hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time and from
time to time after the date hereof upon the written request of the Operating
Partnership, Contributor will, without further consideration, do, execute,
acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and
delivered, each and all of such further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers,
conveyances and assurances as may reasonably be required by the Operating
Partnership in order to assign, transfer, set over, convey, assure and confirm
unto and vest in the Operating Partnership, its successors and assigns, title to
the Assumed Agreements granted, sold, transferred, conveyed and delivered by
this Agreement.
7 Amendment, Waiver, and Termination. This Agreement
may not be amended, modified, waived or terminated except by a writing signed by
the parties hereto.
8 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for the
purpose of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning
thereof.
9 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all
of which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.

ARTICLE 2 -- REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
OF CONTRIBUTOR
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or referred to in the
Prospectus (including, without limitation, any matters for which a reserve has
been established as reflected in the pro forma financial statements contained in
the Prospectus), each Contributor jointly and severally represents and warrants
to the Operating Partnership as set forth below in this Article 2, which
representations and warranties are (i) true and correct as of the date hereof
and will (except to the extent relating to a specified date) be true and correct
as of the date of Closing, and (ii) only made as to the Participating Properties
and do not relate to the "option properties" or "excluded properties" as
described in the Prospectus:
2.1 Organization; Authority; Qualification. Each Contributor if a
natural person, has the legal capacity to enter the Agreement, each agreement
contemplated thereby and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby; if
not a natural person, is duly formed, validly existing and in good standing (to
the extent applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Each
Contributor has all requisite power and authority to enter the Agreement, each
agreement contemplated thereby and to carry out the transactions contemplated
thereby, and own, lease or operate its property and to carry on its business as
presently conducted and, to the extent required under applicable law, is
qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which
the nature of its business or the character of its property make such
qualification necessary. Each Entity is duly formed, validly existing and in
good standing (to the extent applicable) under the laws of the jurisdiction of
formation and each Entity has the requisite power and authority to carry on its
business as it is presently conducted and, to the extent required under
applicable law, is qualified to do business in each jurisdiction in which the
nature of its business or the character of its property make such qualification
necessary, except where failure to be so qualified would not have a material
adverse effect on the assets, business or financial condition of such
Exhibit D-3
Entity. The general partner, managing member or administrative member of each
Entity has made available to the Operating Partnership true and correct copies
of each Entity's organizational documents, with all amendments as in effect on
the date of this Agreement (collectively, the "Organizational Documents"). The
Disclosure Schedule lists each Entity, its jurisdiction of formation and each
partner, member or other equity owner of such Entity as of the date hereof. The
Disclosure Schedule lists the percentage interest of third party holders of
interests (direct or indirect) in the Xxxxx Fargo Tower and Glendale Center as
of the date hereof.
2.2 Due Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Agreement by each Contributor has been duly and validly authorized by all
necessary action of each Contributor. This Agreement and each agreement,
document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of each
Contributor pursuant to this Agreement constitutes, or when executed and
delivered will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligation of each
Contributor, each enforceable against each Contributor in accordance with its
terms, as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or the application of
equitable principles.
2.3 Consents and Approvals. Except as shall have been satisfied prior to
the Closing Date and, for informational purposes, as set forth in the Disclosure
Schedule, as of the date hereof, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization
of any third party or governmental authority or agency is required to be
obtained by any Contributor or any Entity in connection with the execution,
delivery and performance of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals or authorizations, the
failure of which to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the
assets, business, financial condition and results of operation of the Company,
the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries, taken as a whole (a "Material
Adverse Effect").
2.4 Ownership of the Partnership Interests; Contributed Assets. The
Partnership Interest and Property Interests (if any) listed on Exhibit A
attached hereto constitute all of the issued and outstanding interests owned
(directly or indirectly) by the Contributors in the Partnerships, the Entities
and the Properties. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, each
Contributor is the sole owner of its Partnership Interests or, if applicable,
the Contributed Assets, beneficially and of record free and clear of any Liens
of any nature and has full power and authority to convey the Partnership
Interests or, if applicable, the Contributed Assets, free and clear of any
Liens, and, upon delivery of consideration for such Partnership Interests or, if
applicable, the Contributed Assets as herein provided, the Operating Partnership
will acquire good and valid title thereto, free and clear of any Liens except
Liens created in favor of the Operating Partnership by the transactions
contemplated hereby. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or for those
to be acquired by a Contributor or the Operating Partnership, or relinquished,
in connection with the Formation Transactions, there are no rights to purchase,
subscriptions, warrants, options, conversion rights, preemptive rights,
agreements, instruments or similar understandings of any kind outstanding (i)
relating to the Partnership Interests, any Property Interests, any interest in
any Entity, or if applicable, the Contributed Assets, or (ii) to purchase,
transfer or to otherwise acquire, or to in any way encumber, any of the
interests which comprise the Partnership Interests, any Property Interests, any
interest in any Entity, or, if applicable, the Contributed Assets, or any
securities or obligations of any kind convertible into any of the interests
which comprise the Partnership Interests, any Property Interests, any interest
in any Entity, or, if applicable, the Contributed Assets, or other equity
interests or profit participation of any kind in any of the Entities (other than
in connection with management agreements). Except as contemplated in connection
with the Formation Transactions or as permitted by Section 4.1(b)(ii) of the
Agreement, none of the Contributors will consent or participate in or in any way
cause the transfer of any Property Interest, Partnership Interest, any interest
in any Entity, or, if applicable, the Contributed Assets prior to the Closing.
Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule or the Prospectus, none of the
Contributors has an equity interest, either direct or indirect, in the
Properties, except for the Partnership Interests which are the subject of this
Agreement. Except as
Exhibit D-4
contemplated in the Formation Transactions or as otherwise disclosed in the
Disclosure Schedule, none of the Contributors has any commitment or legal
obligation, absolute or contingent, to any other Person other than the Operating
Partnership to sell, assign, transfer or effect a sale of any right, title or
interest in or to any of the Contributed Assets, Partnership Interests, Property
Interests, or interests in any Entity.
2.5 No Violation. Except as shall have been cured, consented to or
waived in writing by the Operating Partnership prior to the Closing Date or as
set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, none of the execution, delivery or
performance of the Agreement, any agreement contemplated thereby and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby does or will, with or without the
giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, (i) violate, conflict with, result in
a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of
termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Operating
Partnership of (A) the organizational documents, including the charters and
bylaws, if any, of any Contributor or any of the Entities, (B) any agreement,
document or instrument to which any Contributor is a party or by which any
Contributor, the Partnership Interests, Property Interests (if any), any Entity
or the Contributed Assets are bound or (C) to Contributors' Knowledge, any term
or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any
approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or
governmental or regulatory authority or foreign, federal, state, local or other
law binding on any Contributor or the Entities or by which any Contributor,
Entity or any of their assets or properties (including the Contributed Assets)
are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such
violation, conflict, breach or default would not have a Material Adverse Effect
or (ii) result in the creation of any Lien upon any of the Partnership
Interests, the Contributed Assets, or any Entity or any interests therein.
Except as shall have been cured, consented to or waived prior to the Closing
Date or as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, none of the Contributors or, to
Contributors' Knowledge, the other Entities, is in violation of the
Organizational Documents.
2.6 Non-Foreign Status. Each Contributor is a United States person (as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code), and is, therefore, not subject to
the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales proceeds to
foreign persons, and is not subject to any state withholding requirements. Each
Contributor will provide affidavits at the Closing to this effect as provided
for in Section 2.3(g) of the Agreement.
2.7 Withholding. Each Contributor shall execute at Closing such
certificates or affidavits reasonably necessary to document the inapplicability
of any federal or state withholding provisions, including without limitation
those referred to in Section 2.6 above. If any Contributor fails to provide such
certificates or affidavits, the Operating Partnership may withhold a portion of
any payments otherwise to be made to such Contributor as required by the Code or
applicable state law.
2.8 Investment Purposes. Each Contributor acknowledges his, her or its
understanding that the offering and issuance of the Partnership Units to be
acquired pursuant to the Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the rules and regulations in
effect thereunder (the "Act") and that the Operating Partnership's reliance on
such exemptions is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the
representations and warranties of such Contributor contained herein. In
furtherance thereof, each Contributor represents and warrants to the Company as
follows:
2.8.1 Investment. Each Contributor is acquiring the Partnership
Units solely for his, her or its own account for the purpose of investment and
not as a nominee or agent for any other person and not with a view to, or for
offer or sale in connection with, any distribution of any thereof. Each
Contributor agrees and acknowledges that he, she or it will not, directly or
indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise
dispose of (hereinafter, "Transfer") any of the Partnership Units unless (i) the
Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Act and
Exhibit D-5
qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities
laws, or (ii) counsel for each Contributor (which counsel shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Operating Partnership) shall have furnished the Operating
Partnership with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to
the Operating Partnership, to the effect that no such registration is required
because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Act and
qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities
laws. The term "Transfer" shall not include any redemption of the Partnership
Units or exchange of the Partnership Units for REIT Shares pursuant to Section
8.6 of the OP Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Transfer shall be
made unless it is permitted under the OP Agreement.
2.8.2 Knowledge. Each Contributor is knowledgeable, sophisticated
and experienced in business and financial matters; each Contributor has
previously invested in securities similar to the Partnership Units and fully
understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the Federal securities laws
and as described in the Agreement. Each Contributor is able to bear the economic
risk of holding the Partnership Units for an indefinite period and is able to
afford the complete loss of his, her or its investment in the Partnership Units;
each Contributor has received and reviewed all information and documents about
or pertaining to the Company, the Operating Partnership, the business and
prospects of the Company and the Operating Partnership and the issuance of the
Partnership Units as each Contributor deems necessary or desirable, has had cash
flow and operations data for the Properties made available by the Operating
Partnership upon request and has been given the opportunity to obtain any
additional information or documents and to ask questions and receive answers
about such information and documents, the Company, the Operating Partnership,
the Properties, the business and prospects of the Company and the Operating
Partnership and the Partnership Units which each Contributor deems necessary or
desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to his, her or its investment
in the Partnership Units and to conduct its own independent valuation of the
Properties; and each Contributor understands and has taken cognizance of all
risk factors related to the purchase of the Partnership Units. Each Contributor
is a sophisticated real estate investor. Each Contributor is relying upon its
own independent analysis and assessment (including with respect to taxes), and
the advice of each Contributor's advisors (including tax advisors), and not upon
that of the Operating Partnership or any of the Operating Partnership's
affiliates, for purposes of evaluating, entering into, and consummating the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.8.3 Holding Period. Each Contributor acknowledges that he, she or
it has been advised that (i) the Partnership Units and the common stock of the
Company into which the Partnership Units may be exchanged in certain
circumstances (the "Common Stock") must be held indefinitely, and each
Contributor must continue to bear the economic risk of the investment in the
Partnership Units (and any Common Stock that might be exchanged therefor),
unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from such
registration is available (it being understood that the Operating Partnership
has no intention of so registering the Partnership Units), (ii) a restrictive
legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on the certificates
representing the Partnership Units (and any Common Stock that might be exchanged
therefor), and (iii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the
Operating Partnership (and the Company) indicating that the Partnership Units
(and any Common Stock that might be exchanged therefor) are subject to
restrictions on transfer.
2.8.4 Accredited Investor. Each Contributor is an "accredited
investor" (as such term is defined in Rule 501 (a) of Regulation D under the
Act). Each Contributor has previously provided the Operating Partnership with a
duly executed Accredited Investor Questionnaire. No event or circumstance has
occurred since delivery of such Questionnaire to make the statements contained
therein false or misleading.
Exhibit D-6
2.8.5 Legending. Each certificate representing the Partnership Units
(and any Common Stock that might be exchanged therefor) shall bear the following
legend:
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "ACT"), OR THE
SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR
OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF IN THE ABSENCE OF SUCH REGISTRATION,
UNLESS THE TRANSFEROR DELIVERS TO THE COMPANY AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, TO THE EFFECT THAT THE
PROPOSED SALE, TRANSFER OR OTHER DISPOSITION MAY BE EFFECTED
WITHOUT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE
SECURITIES OR "BLUE SKY" LAWS;
In addition, the Common Stock for which the Partnership Units might be
exchanged shall also bear a legend which generally provides the following:
THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE
SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON BENEFICIAL AND CONSTRUCTIVE OWNERSHIP
AND TRANSFER FOR THE PURPOSE OF THE CORPORATION'S MAINTENANCE OF
ITS STATUS AS A REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ("REIT") UNDER THE
INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE "CODE"). SUBJECT
TO CERTAIN FURTHER RESTRICTIONS AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED
IN THE CORPORATION'S ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT, (i)
NO PERSON MAY BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF THE
CORPORATION'S COMMON STOCK IN EXCESS OF 9.8% (BY VALUE OR BY
NUMBER OF SHARES, WHICHEVER IS MORE RESTRICTIVE) OF THE
OUTSTANDING COMMON STOCK OF THE CORPORATION; (ii) NO PERSON MAY
BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF COMMON STOCK THAT
WOULD RESULT IN THE CORPORATION BEING "CLOSELY HELD" UNDER
SECTION 856(h) OF THE CODE OR OTHERWISE CAUSE THE CORPORATION TO
FAIL TO QUALIFY AS A REIT; AND (iii) NO PERSON MAY TRANSFER
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK IF SUCH TRANSFER WOULD RESULT IN THE
CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION BEING OWNED BY FEWER THAN 100
PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR
ATTEMPTS TO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF COMMON
STOCK IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY
NOTIFY THE CORPORATION. IF ANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER
OR OWNERSHIP ARE VIOLATED, THE SHARES OF COMMON STOCK
REPRESENTED HEREBY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO THE
TRUSTEE OF A TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR MORE CHARITABLE
BENEFICIARIES. IN ADDITION, THE CORPORATION MAY REDEEM SHARES
UPON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS IN ITS SOLE DISCRETION IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
DETERMINES THAT OWNERSHIP OR A TRANSFER OR OTHER EVENT MAY
VIOLATE THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, UPON THE
OCCURRENCE OF CERTAIN EVENTS, ATTEMPTED TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION
OF THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. ALL
TERMS IN THIS LEGEND THAT ARE DEFINED IN THE ARTICLES OF
AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE THE
MEANINGS ASCRIBED TO THEM IN THE ARTICLES OF AMENDMENT AND
RESTATEMENT OF THE CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM
TIME TO TIME, A COPY OF WHICH, INCLUDING THE RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP, WILL BE FURNISHED TO EACH HOLDER OF
SHARES OF COMMON STOCK ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT CHARGE.
Exhibit D-7
REQUESTS FOR SUCH A COPY MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
CORPORATION AT ITS PRINCIPAL OFFICE.
2.9 No Brokers. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule and other
than in connection with incentive arrangements with an employee, no Contributor
nor any of such Contributor's respective officers, directors or employees, to
the extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker,
finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the
obligation of the Operating Partnership or any of its affiliates to pay any
finder's fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and each Contributor shall
indemnify and hold harmless the Operating Partnership for all costs and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Operating Partnership as
a result of a breach of this representation. The provisions of this Section 2.9
shall survive the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement.
2.10 Solvency. Each Contributor and Entity has been and will be solvent
at all times prior to and immediately following the transfer of the Partnership
Interests and the Contributed Assets to the Operating Partnership.
2.11 Taxes. To the Contributors' Knowledge, the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in any income tax liability to any Entity,
the Company or the Operating Partnership, and no tax lien or other charge exists
or will exist upon consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby with
respect to any Property, except such tax liens for which the tax is not due and
has been properly reserved for payment by the Entities or tax liens or other
charges which individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material Adverse
Effect. The copies of the real property tax bills for each Property for the
current tax year which have been furnished or made available to the Operating
Partnership are true and correct copies of all of the tax bills for such tax
year actually received by any Holder or such Holder's agents for the Property.
For federal income tax purposes, each Entity is, and at all times during its
existence has been, a partnership or limited liability company taxable as a
partnership (rather than an association or a publicly traded partnership taxable
as a corporation). Each Entity has timely and properly filed all tax returns
required to be filed by it and has timely paid all taxes required to be paid by
it. No Entity has requested any extension of time or agreed to any extension of
the applicable statue of limitations within which to file any pending tax
returns. Except as may be set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, none of the tax
returns filed by any of the Entities is the subject of a pending or ongoing
audit, and no federal, state, local or foreign taxing authority has asserted any
tax deficiency or other assessment against a Property or an Entity.
2.12 Litigation. Except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, and
except for Actions covered by the policies of insurance described in Section
2.29 below, there is no Action, litigation, claim or other proceeding, either
judicial or administrative (including, without limitation, any governmental
action or proceeding), pending or, to Contributors' Knowledge, overtly
threatened in the last twelve months, affecting all or any portion of the
Contributors' Partnership Interests, any Property Interests, the Contributed
Assets, the Entities or the Contributors' ability to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. Contributors have no Knowledge of any outstanding order,
writ, injunction or decree of any court, Governmental Entity or arbitration
against or affecting all or any portion of its Partnership Interests, Property
Interests (if any), the Contributed Assets, or any Entity which in any such case
would impair the Contributors ability to enter into and perform all of its
obligations under the Agreement or would have a Material Adverse Effect.
2.13 NASD Affiliation. Each Contributor represents severally that
neither it nor any affiliate of such Contributor is a member, affiliate of a
member or person associated with a member of the National Association of
Securities Dealers, Inc. ("NASD"). Such Contributor further represents severally
Exhibit D-8
that neither it nor any of its affiliates owns any stock or other securities of
any NASD member not purchased in the open market, or has made any outstanding
subordinated loans to a NASD member. (A company or natural person is presumed to
control a member of the NASD and is therefore presumed to constitute an
affiliate of such member if the Company or person is the beneficial owner of 10%
or more of the outstanding securities of a member which is a corporation.
Additionally, a natural person is presumed to control a member of the NASD and
is therefore presumed to constitute an affiliate of such a member if such person
has the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of
such member.)
2.14 Compliance With Laws. In connection with the operation of the
Properties, to the Contributors' Knowledge, except as set forth in the
Disclosure Schedule or in the Prospectus, the Properties have been maintained
and on the date hereof are, and as of the Closing Date will be, maintained and
substantially comply in all material respects with all applicable laws,
ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, orders and statutes (including, without
limitation, those currently relating to fire safety, conservation, parking,
Americans with Disabilities Act, zoning and building laws) whether federal,
state or local, foreign, statutory or common, and neither the Contributors nor,
to the Contributors' Knowledge, any third party have been informed in writing of
any material violation of any such laws, rules or regulations, or that any
investigation has been commenced or is contemplated respecting any such possible
violation. Compliance with Environmental Laws is not addressed by this Section
2.14, but rather solely by Section 2.18.
2.15 Eminent Domain. There is no existing or, to the Contributors'
Knowledge, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar
proceeding, or private purchase in lieu of such a proceeding, which would affect
all or any portion of the Properties in any material respect.
2.16 Licenses and Permits. To Contributors' Knowledge, except as set
forth in the Disclosure Schedule, all notices, licenses, permits, certificates
(including certificates of occupancy), rights, privileges, franchises and
authority required in connection with the construction, use, occupancy,
management, leasing and operation of the Properties have been obtained, are in
full force and effect, are in good standing and (to the extent required pursuant
to the transactions contemplated hereby) are assignable to the Operating
Partnership, except for those licenses, permits and certificates, the failure of
which to obtain or maintain in good standing or be assignable, would not have a
material adverse effect on any Property. To the Contributors' Knowledge, neither
the Contributors, nor the Participating Partnerships, nor any Entity, nor any
other third party has taken any action that would (or failed to take any action
the omission of which would) result in the revocation, suspension or termination
of such notices, licenses, permits, certificates (including certificates of
occupancy), rights, privileges, franchises and authority that would have a
material adverse effect on any Property, nor has any of them received any
written notice of violation from any Governmental Entity or written notice of
the intention of any entity to revoke any of them, that in each case has not
been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Governmental
Entity.
2.17 Real Property.
(a) None of the Contributors, the Partnerships, nor, to
Contributors' Knowledge, except as set forth in the Disclosure Schedule, any
other party to any material agreement affecting the Properties, has given or
received any notice of any uncured default with respect to any material
agreement affecting the Properties which would have a material adverse effect on
one or more Properties, and, no event has occurred or, to the Contributors'
Knowledge, is threatened, which through the passage of time or the giving of
notice, or both, would constitute a material default thereunder or would cause
the acceleration of any material obligation of any party thereto or the creation
of a Lien upon any Property, except for Permitted Liens. For purposes of this
Section 2.17, the term "material
Exhibit D-9
agreement" shall be defined with reference to the Property to which such
agreement relates, and shall include, without limitation, participation
agreements, development agreements, reciprocal easement agreements and any
agreement which is not terminable by the Operating Partnership upon 90 days
prior written notice and which is for a contract amount greater than $100,000

Knowledge, except as set forth in the Preliminary Title Reports or the Property

the leases, licenses, tenancies, possession agreements and occupancy agreements
with the tenants referenced under the captions "Business and Properties--Tenant
Diversification" and "Business and Properties -- Existing Portfolio" in the

upon the failure of any tenant under any such Lease to exercise any cancellation
right granted in its Lease or upon any extension or renewal of such Leases. To

subject of any voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. To
Contributors' Knowledge, none of the Partnerships are in default under any

except to the extent any such default would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

Agreement (in the form of Exhibit G to the Agreement) pursuant to which the

(a) Each Indemnified Party hereby designates and appoints the
Operating Partnership as its agent under the Pledge Agreement, and each
Indemnified Party hereby irrevocably authorizes the Operating Partnership to
take such action or to refrain from taking such action on its behalf under the
provisions of the Pledge Agreement and to exercise such powers as are set forth
therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Operating Partnership is authorized and empowered to amend, modify or waive
any provisions of the Pledge Agreement on behalf of the Indemnified Parties. The
Operating Partnership agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained
in this Section 3.4. The provisions of this Section 3.4 are solely for the
benefit of the Operating Partnership and the Indemnified Parties and no
Contributor shall have any rights as a third party beneficiary of any of the
provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under the Pledge
Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall act solely as an administrative
representative of the Indemnified Parties and does not assume and shall not be
deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust
with or for the Indemnified Parties, by or through its agents or employees.
(b) The Operating Partnership shall have no duties, obligations or
responsibilities to the Indemnified Parties except those expressly set forth in
this Section 3.4 or in the Pledge Agreement. Neither the Operating Partnership
nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable to any
Indemnified Party for any action taken or omitted by them under this Section 3.4
or under the Pledge Agreement, or in connection with this Section 3.4 or the
Pledge Agreement, except that the Operating Partnership shall be obligated on
the terms set forth in this Section 3.4 for performance of its express
obligations under the Pledge Agreement. In performing its functions and duties
under the Pledge Agreement, the Operating Partnership shall exercise the same
care which it would exercise in dealing with a security interest in collateral
held for its own account, but the Operating Partnership shall not be responsible
to any Indemnified Party for any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties in the Pledge Agreement or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability or sufficiency of the Pledge Agreement or
the Collateral or the transactions contemplated thereby. The Operating

performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the
Pledge Agreement.
(c) The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to rely upon any
written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any
telephone message or other communication (including any writing, telex, telecopy
or telegram) believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have
been signed, sent or made by the proper person, and with respect to all matters
pertaining to this Section 3.4 and the Pledge Agreement and its duties under
this Section 3.4 or the Pledge Agreement, upon advice of counsel selected by it.
The Operating Partnership shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal
counsel, independent accountants, and other experts selected by the Operating
Partnership in its sole discretion.
(d) Each Indemnified Party shall, jointly and severally, reimburse
and indemnify the Operating Partnership and its directors, officers, employees
and agents for any damage, expense, loss, cost, claim or liability which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Operating Partnership or such
other persons in any way relating to or arising out of this Section 3.4 or the
Pledge Agreement or any action taken or omitted by the Operating Partnership or
such other persons under this
Exhibit D-15
Section 3.4 or the Pledge Agreement. The obligations of the Indemnified Parties
under this Section 3.4(d) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and
the Pledge Agreement.
3.5 Notice and Defense of Claims. As soon as reasonably practicable
after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any liability or claim
incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to
indemnification under this Article 3, the Indemnified Party shall give notice
thereof to the Contributors, including liabilities or claims to be applied
against the indemnification baskets established pursuant to Section 3.6 hereof.
The Indemnified Party may at its option demand indemnity under this Article 3 as
soon as a claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether an
actual Loss has been suffered, so long as the Indemnified Party shall in good
faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that the Indemnified Party
may be liable for, or otherwise incur, a Loss as a result thereof and shall give
notice of such determination to Contributors. The Indemnified Party shall permit
the Contributors, at the Contributors' option and expense, to assume the defense
of any such claim by counsel selected by the Contributors and reasonably
satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the
same; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate
in such defense at its expense; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that Contributors
shall not, in defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the
entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question
to the Indemnified Party and its affiliates a release of all liabilities in
respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money
damages which is paid in full by the Contributors. If the Contributors shall
fail to undertake such defense within 30 days after such notice, or within such
shorter time as may be reasonable under the circumstances or as required by
applicable law, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the
defense, compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and
for the account of Contributors at the Contributors' sole cost and expense;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Contributors will not be obligated to indemnify the
Indemnified Parties for any compromise or settlement entered into without the
Contributors' prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
3.6 Limitations on Indemnification Under Section 3.2.
(a) The Contributors shall not be liable under Section 3.2 hereof
unless and until (i) each individual amount otherwise due the Indemnified
Parties exceeds one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) (excluding legal fees
and expenses) and (ii) the total amount recoverable by the Indemnified Parties
from the Contributors under Section 3.2 exceeds five hundred thousand dollars
($500,000), in the aggregate; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that claims for Losses arising
out of a breach of representation or warranty contained in sections 2.1, 2.2,
2.4, 2.6, 2.7, 2.9, 2.11 and 2.12 hereof shall not be subject to such threshold
amounts but shall be recoverable from the first dollar of Losses. Any individual
amount not exceeding the threshold under clause (i) shall not apply against the
aggregate threshold set forth in clause (ii), and once the threshold in clause
(ii) is exceeded, all amounts exceeding the threshold set forth in clause (i)
shall be recoverable from the first dollar of Losses.
(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
maximum liability of all Contributors in the aggregate under Section 3.2 hereof
shall not exceed twenty million dollars ($20,000,000). Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Indemnified Parties shall look, solely,
first to available insurance proceeds pursuant to Section 3.2(c) above, and then
to each Contributor's Partnership Units pledged pursuant to the Pledge
Agreement, for indemnification under this Article 3, valuing such Partnership
Units based upon the initial public offering price of the Company's Common Stock
(and agree to treat any return of Partnership Units as an adjustment to the
consideration delivered to the Contributors pursuant to the Formation
Transactions). No Indemnified Party shall have recourse to any other assets of
any of the Contributors other than the Partnership Units
Exhibit D-16
pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, no Contributor shall be liable to the Indemnified
Parties for any indirect, special or consequential damages, loss of profits,
taxes relating to tax years beginning on or after the closing of the Formation
Transactions, loss of value or other similar speculative damages asserted or
claimed by the Indemnified Parties.
3.7 Limitation Period.
(a) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claim for indemnification
under Section 3.2 hereof must be asserted in writing by the Indemnified Party,
stating the nature of the Losses and the basis for indemnification therefore
within one year after the Closing.
(b) If so asserted in writing within one year after the Closing,
such claims for indemnification shall survive until resolved by mutual agreement
between each Contributor and the Indemnified Party or by judicial determination.
Any claim for indemnification not so asserted in writing within one year after
the Closing shall not thereafter be asserted and shall forever be waived.

contribution agreement. The initial Guarantee Agreement shall be entered into
prior to or contemporaneously with the closing of the Public Offering.
Guarantee Amount: Shall mean an amount specified by each Contributor with
respect to each Contributor which is set forth in the Guarantee Agreement for

exercise of rights under an Option Agreement.
Option Agreement: Means an agreement entered into or acquired by the
Operating Partnership in connection with the Formation Transactions pursuant to
which the Operating Partnership has the right to require the contribution of
certain properties (or indirect interests therein) to the Operating Partnership,
to the extent such contribution may be made in exchange for Partnership Units.
Partnership Units Sale Restriction: The Contributors shall have satisfied
this requirement with respect to a period if at the end of such period,
aggregate Dispositions by the Contributors of Partnership Units received in the
Formation Transactions or pursuant to an Option Agreement have not caused the
Partnership Units then owned by the Contributors to be less than fifty percent
(50%) of the aggregate Partnership Units issued to the Contributors in

transferor's share of liabilities of the Operating Partnership); provided
further that for purposes of the Partnership Units Sale Restriction, a

Disposition by a permitted transferee, which shall be treated as a Disposition
by such Contributor.

and the Guarantee Opportunity, the period commencing on the closing date of the
Formation Transactions and ending on the "Initial Period" anniversary of the
closing date of the Formation Transactions, provided, however, that the

Qualifying Debt: Means indebtedness of the Operating Partnership that is
described in (i), (ii) or (iii) below:
(i) In the case of indebtedness secured by any property or other asset
of the Operating Partnership and not recourse to all of the assets of the
Operating Partnership, the aggregate amount of all indebtedness secured by
such property must not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the fair market
value (as determined by the Board in its reasonable judgment) of such
property at the time that the Guarantee Opportunity is first effective.
Nonrecourse debt of a subsidiary of the Operating Partnership shall be
treated as debt of the Operating Partnership provided the Operating
Partnership guarantees such debt and will permit the Contributor to
indemnify the Operating Partnership from certain losses associated with
such guarantee on terms which are similar to those set forth in such
Contributor's Guarantee Agreement and reasonably acceptable to the
Operating Partnership and the Contributor;
(ii) In the case of indebtedness that is recourse to all of the assets
of the Operating Partnership, the indebtedness is at all times the most
senior indebtedness recourse to all the assets of the Operating Partnership
(but there shall not be a prohibition against other indebtedness that is
pari passu with such indebtedness) and the amount of the indebtedness
outstanding is at all times at least equal to one hundred fifty percent
(150%) of the aggregate amount of the guarantees provided with respect to
such indebtedness; or
(iii) Any other indebtedness approved by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx III (or his
successor or designee) in his sole and absolute discretion.
In addition, debt which satisfies requirement (i) or (ii) above (but not
requirement (iii) above) will not be Qualifying Debt if and when either of the
following occurs:
(i) There are other guarantees with respect to the same indebtedness
that are prior to (i.e., with less economic risk) the Guarantee Opportunity
provided to the Contributors pursuant hereto; or
(ii) There are other guarantees with respect to the same indebtedness
that are pari passu with the Guarantee Opportunity provided to the
Contributor
Exhibit F-3
pursuant hereto, and the amount of all such guarantees (including the
Contributor's guarantee) exceed seventy five percent (75%) of the fair
market value of the real estate which is security for such indebtedness
measured at the time any such guarantee is first effective (as determined
by the Board in its reasonable judgment).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no prohibition on guarantees
of other portions of Qualifying Debt, and the above limitations shall not apply
with respect to any guarantee of such debt by the Company, provided each
Contributor is offered the opportunity to enter into an agreement with the
Company providing that such Contributor will indemnify the Company from certain
losses associated with such debt on terms which are similar to those set forth
in the Contributors' Guarantee Agreement with respect to the debt of the
Operating Partnership.
ARTICLE 2--SALES INDEMNITY ON PROTECTED PROPERTY
(a) In the event that the Operating Partnership directly or indirectly
sells, exchanges, or otherwise disposes of any Property or any interest therein
(including without limitation, by way of merger, sale of assets or otherwise)
during the term of the Protected Period, the Operating Partnership shall
indemnify each Contributor for damages resulting to the Contributor from such
sale, exchange or disposition, as provided below. The benefit of this indemnity
may be waived on behalf of all Contributors by Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx III (or his
successor or designee), which waiver may be given or withheld in his sole and
absolute discretion.
(b) Section 2(a) shall not apply to the disposition of a Property if (i)
such disposition qualifies as a like-kind exchange under Section 1031 of the
Code, or an involuntary conversion under Section 1033 of the Code, or other
transaction (including, but not limited to, a contribution of property to any
entity that qualifies for the nonrecognition of gain under Section 721 or
Section 351 of the Code, or a merger or consolidation of the Operating
Partnership with or into another entity that qualifies for taxation as a
"partnership" for federal income tax purposes (a "Successor Partnership")), in
each case that does not result in the recognition of any taxable income or gain
to the Contributor with respect to the Contributor's Partnership Units;
provided, however, that: (1) in the event of a disposition of a Property under
Section 1031 or Section 1033 of the Code or pursuant to another tax deferred
transaction, any property that is acquired in exchange for or as a replacement
for such Property shall thereafter be considered that Property for purposes of
this Exhibit F; (2) if a Property is transferred to another entity in a
transaction in which gain or loss is not recognized, the interest of the
Operating Partnership in such entity shall thereafter be considered that
Property for purposes of this Exhibit F, and if the acquiring entity's
disposition of such Property would cause the Contributor to recognize gain or
loss as a result thereof, the transferred Property still shall be considered
that Property for purposes of this Exhibit F; and (3) in the event of a merger
or consolidation involving the Operating Partnership and a Successor
Partnership, the Successor Partnership shall have agreed in writing for the
benefit of the Contributor that all of the restrictions of this Exhibit F shall
apply with respect to each Property, or (ii) with respect to each Contributor,
the adjusted taxable basis of the Property has increased in the hands of the
Operating Partnership to fair market value as a result of a taxable disposition
of the Partnership Units received in the
Exhibit F-4
Formation Transactions or otherwise, such that a taxable disposition of such
Property by the Operating Partnership would not result in the allocation of
taxable gain to the Contributor pursuant to Section 704(c) of the Code.
(c) The indemnity rights and remedies of the Contributor upon any sale,
exchange, or other disposition of any Property or any interest therein
(including without limitation, by way of merger, sale of assets or otherwise)
under Section 2(a) shall be limited to a claim for monetary damages (including,
without limitation, incidental, consequential, indirect and special damages,
whether foreseeable or not) against the Operating Partnership or any Successor
Partnership. All such damages shall be indemnifiable under Section 3.3 of the
Agreement and shall be treated as "Losses" for purposes thereof. Any claim,
dispute or controversy arising out of, or in connection with, or in relation to
the interpretation, performance or breach of this Exhibit F shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 7.1 of the Agreement. For purposes of determining any
damages payable by the Operating Partnership or a Successor Partnership to a
Contributor pursuant to this Article 2, damages shall be calculated to protect
the Contributor or Contributors against all direct and indirect adverse tax
consequences. The Operating Partnership acknowledges that any calculation of
damages payable to the applicable Contributor or Contributors will not be based
on the time value of money or the time remaining within the Restricted Period.
All damages shall be due and payable by the Operating Partnership or a Successor
Partnership at the time of any sale, exchange or other disposition.
ARTICLE 3--AVAILABILITY OF GUARANTEES
(a) During the Protected Period, the Operating Partnership shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to make available to each Contributor the
opportunity (a "Guarantee Opportunity") to make a guarantee of Qualifying Debt
of the Operating Partnership pursuant to a Guaranty Agreement in an amount at
least equal to the Guarantee Amount. Each Contributor may provide its Guarantee
Agreement provided such agreement shall not expand Contributor's rights
hereunder and shall be subject to the reasonable comments and approval of the
Operating Partnership. During the Protected Period, if Guaranteed Debt is to be
repaid and, immediately after such repayment, the outstanding amount of such
Guaranteed Debt would be less than the Guarantee Amount with respect to such
Guaranteed Debt, the Operating Partnership shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to provide to each Contributor a new Guarantee Opportunity with respect
to Qualifying Debt in an amount equal to the Guaranteed Debt being repaid. In
the event that the Operating Partnership is required to use commercially
reasonable efforts to offer a Guarantee Opportunity pursuant to this Section
3(a), the Operating Partnership will provide the Contributor notice of the type,
amount and other relevant attributes of the Qualifying Debt with respect to
which the Guarantee Opportunity is offered at least ten (10) business days, to
the extent reasonably practicable, but in no event less than five (5) business
days prior to the earlier of the closing of the incurrence of such debt and the
scheduled repayment of the existing Guaranteed Debt. In the event that the
Operating Partnership or a related party repurchases outstanding Guaranteed
Debt, whether or not such debt is retired, the repurchase thereof shall be
treated as a repayment of the Guaranteed Debt for purposes of this Article 3.
(b) Each Contributor acknowledges that Guarantee Partners other than such
Contributor have the right to guarantee debt of the Operating Partnership on
terms which are
Exhibit F-5
similar to the terms set forth in this Exhibit F. The Operating Partnership
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to offer each Guarantee Opportunity to
the Guarantee Partners (including the Contributors) on a pro rata basis, based
on the proportion of each Guarantee Partner's Guarantee Amount to the aggregate
Guarantee Amounts of all Guarantee Partners, unless the Guarantee Partners agree
to accept Guarantee Opportunities on other than a pro rata basis.
(c) The Operating Partnership agrees to file its tax returns taking the
position that the Guaranteed Debt is allocable to the Contributor guaranteeing
such debt for purposes of Section 752 of the Code, absent a determination to the
contrary by the Internal Revenue Service. However, the Operating Partnership
makes no representation or warranty to Contributor that any guarantee entered
into pursuant to Section 3(a) shall be respected for federal income tax purposes
so as to enable Contributor to be considered to bear the "economic risk of loss"
with respect to the indebtedness thereby guaranteed by Contributor for purposes
of either Section 752 or Section 465 of the Code.
(d) The indemnity rights and remedies of each Contributor for a breach or
violation of the covenants set forth in Section 3(a) shall be limited to a claim
for monetary damages (including, without limitation, incidental, consequential,
indirect and special damages, whether foreseeable or not) against the Operating
Partnership or any Successor Partnership. All such damages shall be
indemnifiable under Section 3.3 of the Agreement and shall be treated as
"Losses" for purposes thereof. Any claim dispute or controversy arising out of,
or in connection with, or in relation to the interpretation, performance or
breach of this Exhibit F shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7.1 of
the Agreement. For purposes of determining any damages payable by the Operating
Partnership or a Successor Partnership to a Contributor pursuant to this Article
3, damages shall be calculated to protect the Contributor or Contributors
against all direct and indirect adverse tax consequences. The Operating
Partnership acknowledges that any calculation of damages payable to the
applicable Contributor or Contributors will not be based on the time value of
money or the time remaining within the Restricted Period. All damages shall be
due and payable by the Operating Partnership or a Successor Partnership at the
time of any sale, exchange or other disposition.
(e) The Operating Partnership shall not be obligated to undertake efforts
to maintain any level of indebtedness in excess of the amounts specifically
required to meet the obligations set forth above in this Article 3.
ARTICLE 4--NOTICE
In the event that the Contributors cease to satisfy the requirements of the
Partnership Units Sale Restriction, the Contributors shall notify the parties
listed below. Any notice to be given hereunder shall be given in writing by
personal delivery or by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return
receipt requested, and shall be deemed communicated as of the date of personal

(vii) This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding

(f) Registration. At any time and from time to time the Pledgee may
cause all or any of the Collateral to be transferred to or registered in its
name or the name of its nominee or nominees.
(g) Claims; Value of Collateral.
(i) Subject to Section 3.6 of Exhibit D to the Contribution
Agreement, on or prior to the date which is one year after the Closing (the
"Survival Period"), an Indemnified Party may give notice (a "Claim Notice") to
one or more of the Pledgors of any liability or claim incurred by or asserted
against the Indemnified Party which is subject to indemnification under Article
3 of Exhibit D to the Contribution Agreement. As soon as reasonably practicable
after receipt by the Indemnified Party of notice of any liability or claim
incurred by or asserted against the Indemnified Party that is subject to
indemnification, the Indemnified Party shall give a Claim Notice thereof to the
Pledgors, including liabilities or claims to be applied against the
indemnification baskets established pursuant to Section 3.6 of Exhibit D to the
Contribution Agreement. The Indemnified Party may at its option demand indemnity
as soon as a claim has been threatened by a third party, regardless of whether
an actual Loss has been suffered, so long as the Indemnified Party shall in good
faith determine that such claim is not frivolous and that the Indemnified Party
may be liable for, or otherwise incur, a Loss as a result thereof and shall give
notice of such determination to Pledgors. The Indemnified Party shall permit the
Pledgors, at the Pledgors' option and expense, to assume the defense of any such
claim by counsel selected by the Pledgors and reasonably satisfactory to the
Indemnified Party, and to settle or otherwise dispose of the same; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the Indemnified Party may at all times participate in such defense
at its expense; and PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that Pledgors shall not, in
defense of any such claim, except with the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Party in its sole and absolute discretion, consent to the entry of
any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an
unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff in question
to the Indemnified Party and its affiliates a release of all liabilities in
respect of such claims, or that does not result only in the payment of money
damages which is paid in full by the Pledgors. If the Pledgors shall fail to
undertake such defense within 30 days after such notice, or within such shorter
time as may be reasonable under the circumstances or as required by applicable
law, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense,
compromise or settlement of such liability or claim on behalf of and for the
account of Pledgors at the Pledgors' sole cost and
4
expense; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Pledgors will not be obligated to indemnify
the Indemnified Parties for any compromise or settlement entered into without
the Pledgors' prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
(ii) The value of Collateral (the "Value") shall be determined as
follows: (i) with respect to Collateral consisting of the Pledged Units or other
Partnership Interests, an amount equal to the initial public offering price of
shares of the Company's common stock multiplied by the number of shares for
which such Collateral is potentially exchangeable; and (ii) for all other
Collateral, the fair market value of such Collateral as determined by the
Independent Directors of the Company.
(h) Voting Rights and Certain Payments Prior to Occurrence of Secured
Obligations and Other Events.
(i) Until Collateral may be applied to satisfy a Secured Obligation
hereunder, each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise, as it shall think fit,
but in a manner in the judgment of the Pledgee not inconsistent with the terms
hereof, the voting power with respect to any such Collateral, and for that
purpose the Pledgee shall (if such Collateral shall be registered in the name of
the Pledgee or its nominee) execute or cause to be executed from time to time,
at the expense of such Pledgor, such proxies or other instruments in favor of
such Pledgor or its nominee, in such form and for such purposes as shall be
reasonably required by such Pledgor and, if such Pledgor is an entity, shall be
specified in a written request therefor of its President or a Vice-President, to
enable it to exercise such voting power with respect to such Collateral.
(ii) Until the Independent Directors of the Company reasonably
determine that the outstanding Claims asserted by the Indemnified Parties in one
or more Claim Notices may equal or exceed the value of the Collateral then
available to satisfy such Claims, each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and
retain for its own account any and all regular cash distributions (but not
distributions in the form of Partnership Interests or other securities,
distributions in kind or liquidating distributions) and interest at any time and
from time to time paid upon any of such Collateral.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the
contrary, except with the prior consent of the Pledgee, until such time as this
Agreement is terminated, no Pledgor shall have the right to exercise any of its
redemption rights under Section 8.6 of the Operating Partnership Agreement.
(i) Extraordinary Payments and Distributions. In case, upon the
dissolution or liquidation (in whole or in part) of the Operating Partnership,
any sum shall be paid as a liquidating distribution or otherwise upon or with
respect to any of the Collateral, such sum shall be paid over to the Pledgee
promptly, and in any event within ten days after receipt thereof, to be held by
the Pledgee as additional Collateral hereunder. In case any distribution of
Partnership Interests shall be made with respect to the Collateral, or
Partnership Interests or fractions thereof shall be issued pursuant to any split
involving any of the Collateral, or any distribution of capital shall be made on
any of the Collateral, or any partnership interests, shares, obligations or
other property shall be distributed upon or with respect to the Collateral
pursuant to a recapitalization or reclassification of the capital of the
Operating Partnership, or pursuant to the dissolution, liquidation (in whole or
in
5
part), bankruptcy or reorganization of the Operating Partnership, or pursuant to
the merger or consolidation of the Operating Partnership with or into another
entity, the partnership interests, shares, obligations or other property so
distributed shall be delivered to the Pledgee promptly, and in any event within
ten days after receipt thereof, to be held by the Pledgee as additional
Collateral hereunder, and all of the same (other than cash) shall constitute
Collateral for all purposes hereof.
(j) Pledgors Obligations Not Affected. The obligations of each Pledgor
hereunder shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be impaired by:
(i) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, arrangement,
readjustment, composition, liquidation or the like of any other Pledgor;
(ii) any amendments to or modifications of any instrument (other
than this Agreement) securing any of the Secured Obligations;
(iii) the taking or additional security for, or any guaranty of, any
of the Secured Obligations or the release or discharge or termination of any
security or guaranty for any of the Secured Obligations; or
(iv) the lack of enforceability of any of the Secured Obligations
against such Pledgor or any other person, whether or not such Pledgor shall have
notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing.
(k) Voting Rights and Certain Payments After Occurrence of Secured
Obligation and Certain Other Events.
(i) At such time that Collateral may be applied to satisfy a Secured
Obligation hereunder, all rights of any Pledgor to exercise or refrain from
exercising all voting power with respect to such Collateral and to otherwise
exercise all ownership rights arising from such Collateral shall cease, and
thereupon the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all voting power with
respect to such Collateral and otherwise exercise such ownership rights as
though the Pledgee were the outright owner of such Collateral. In the event that
the Independent Directors of the Company reasonably determine that the
outstanding claims asserted by the Indemnified Parties in one or more Claim
Notices may equal or exceed the value of the Collateral then available to
satisfy such claims, the Pledgor(s) shall no longer be the owner of such
Collateral for tax purposes and all rights of any Pledgor to receive and retain
the distributions and interest which it would otherwise be authorized to receive
and retain pursuant to Section 7 hereof shall cease, and thereupon the Pledgee
shall be entitled to receive and retain, as additional Collateral hereunder, any
and all distributions and interest at any time and from time to time paid upon
any of such Collateral, provided that, concurrent with making such
determination, the Pledgee gives notice thereof to the affected Pledgor(s). Upon
receipt of any such notice, a Pledgor may submit the matter to arbitration in
accordance with the provisions of the Contribution Agreement, and the decision
of the arbitrators as to the retention of any such distributions and interest
shall be final and binding between the parties and shall be enforceable in any
court of competent jurisdiction.
(ii) All payments, distributions or other property or assets which
are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (a) of this
Section 10 shall be
6
received and held in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, shall be segregated
from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be forthwith paid over to the
Pledgee.
(l) Application of Cash Collateral. Any cash received and retained by
the Pledgee as additional Collateral pursuant to Section 8 hereof may at any
time and from time to time be applied (in whole or in part) by the Pledgee, at
its option, to the payment of the Secured Obligations to which such Collateral
is subject (in such order as the Pledgee shall in its sole discretion
determine).
(m) Application of Proceeds. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, any cash received and retained pursuant to Section 8 hereof shall be
applied by the Pledgee: first to the payment of the costs and other expenses
arising out of such transaction, including reasonable out-of-pocket costs and
expenses of the Pledgee and the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel;
second to the payment in full of the Secured Obligations; and finally, to the
payment to the Pledgor, or his heirs, executives, administrators, successors or
assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then
remaining.
(n) Remedies With Respect to the Collateral.
(i) At such time that a claim becomes a Secured Obligation, the
Pledgee, without obligation to resort to other security, shall have the right at
any time and from time to time receive all or any part of Collateral with a
Value equal to the amount of the Secured Obligation, in one or more parcels at
the same or different times, and all right, title and interest, claim and demand
therein and right of redemption thereof. Recourse against the Pledgors is
limited to the rights of the Pledgors in any such Collateral that is applied to
satisfy a Secured Obligation.
(ii) No demand, advertisement or notice, all of which are hereby
expressly waived, shall be required in connection with any transfer of
Collateral to the Pledgee pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii) The remedies provided herein in favor of the Pledgee shall not
be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to all
other remedies in favor of the Pledgee existing at law or in equity.
(o) Care of Collateral. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the
collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon or as to the
preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, beyond the safe custody of any
thereof actually in its possession. With respect to any maturities, calls,
conversions, exchanges, redemptions, offers, tenders or similar matters relating
to any of the Collateral (herein called "events"), the Pledgee's duty shall be
fully satisfied if (i) the Pledgee exercises reasonable care to ascertain the
occurrence and to give reasonable notice to the Pledgors of any events
applicable to any Collateral which are registered and held in the name of the
Pledgee or its nominee, (ii) the Pledgee gives the Pledgors reasonable notice of
the occurrence of any events, of which the Pledgee has received actual
knowledge, as to any securities which are in bearer form or are not registered
and held in the name of the Pledgee or its nominee (the Pledgors agreeing to
give the Pledgee reasonable notice of the occurrence of any events applicable to
any securities in the possession of the Pledgee of which the Pledgors have
received knowledge), and (iii) (a) the Pledgee endeavors to take such action
with respect to any of the events as the Pledgors
7
may reasonably and specifically request in writing in sufficient time for such
action to be evaluated and taken or (b) if the Pledgee determines that the
action requested might adversely affect the value of the Collateral, the
collection of the Secured Obligations, or otherwise prejudice the interests of
the Pledgee, the Pledgee gives reasonable notice to the Pledgors that any such
requested action will not be taken and if the Pledgee makes such determination
or if any Pledgor fails to make such timely request, the Pledgee takes such
other action as it deems advisable in the circumstances. Except as hereinabove
specifically set forth, the Pledgee shall have no further obligation to
ascertain the occurrence of, or to notify the Pledgors with respect to, any
events and shall not be deemed to assume any such further obligation as a result
of the establishment by the Pledgee of any internal procedures with respect to
any securities in its possession. Except for any claims, causes of action or
demands arising out of the Pledgee's failure to perform its agreements set forth
in this Section, the Pledgors release the Pledgee from any claims, causes of
action and demands at any time arising out of or with respect to this Agreement,
the Collateral and/or any actions taken or omitted to be taken by the Pledgee
with respect thereto, and the Pledgors hereby agree to hold the Pledgee harmless
from and with respect to any and all such claims, causes of action and demands.
(p) Power of Attorney. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Pledgee as such
Pledgor's attorney-in-fact for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instrument which the
Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Pledgee shall have the
right and power (a) upon application of any Collateral to satisfy a Secured
Obligation, to receive, endorse and collect all checks and other orders for the
payment of money made payable to a Pledgor representing any interest or other
distribution payable in respect of such Collateral or any part thereof and to
give full discharge for the same, and (b) to execute endorsements, assignments
or other instruments of conveyance or transfer with respect to all or any of the
Collateral.
(q) Further Assurances. The Pledgors shall, at their sole cost and
expense, upon request of the Pledgee, duly execute and deliver, or cause to be
duly executed and delivered, to the Pledgee such further instruments and
documents and take and cause to be taken such further actions as may be
necessary or proper in the reasonable opinion of the Pledgee to carry out more
effectually the provisions and purposes of this Agreement.
(r) No Waiver. No failure on the part of the Pledgee to exercise, and no
delay on the part of the Pledgee or of any Covered Party in exercising, any of
its options, powers, rights or remedies hereunder, or partial or single exercise
thereof, shall constitute a waiver thereof or preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other option, power, right or remedy.
(s) Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Pledgee hereunder,
grant of a security interest in the Collateral and all obligations of the
Pledgors hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Representations Agreement, any of the
Secured Obligations or any Grantor Agreement or any other agreement or
instrument relating thereto or relating to the Transactions, (b) any change in
any term of all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other amendment or
waiver of, or any consent to any departure from, the Representations Agreement,
any Grantor Agreement or any other agreement or instrument
8
or (c) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a discharge of, any Pledgor in respect of the Secured
Obligations or in respect of this Agreement.
(t) Expenses. Pledgor agrees to pay the Pledgee all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses of the Pledgee (including reasonable expenses for legal
services of every kind) of, or incident to the enforcement of, any provisions of
this Agreement.
(u) Return of Collateral. Upon the termination of the Survival Period,
the Pledgors shall be entitled to the return of all of the Collateral and all
other cash held as additional Collateral hereunder which have not been used or
applied toward the payment of the Secured Obligations, unless claims asserted in
one or more Claim Notices pursuant to Section 6(a) hereof remain outstanding, in
which case Collateral with a Value equal to the aggregate dollar amount of such
claims shall be retained by the Pledgee pursuant to the terms hereof pending
resolution of such claims pursuant to Section 6 hereof (such retained Collateral
to consist of Collateral delivered by any Pledgor which may be liable for such
claims or, if more than one Pledgor may be liable as to any claim, then in
proportion to such Pledgors' potential liability so long as the Pledgee holds
sufficient Collateral of each such Pledgor, and otherwise in any proportion).
The assignment by the Pledgee to the Pledgors of such Collateral shall be
without representation or warranty of any nature whatsoever and wholly without
recourse. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pledgors' release of the Pledgee
and agreement to hold the Pledgee harmless set forth in the last sentence of
Section 14 hereof shall survive any return of Collateral or termination of this
Agreement.
(v) Notices. All notices and other communications in connection with
this Agreement shall be made in writing by hand delivery, registered first-class
mail, telex, telecopier, or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
