(c) During the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Closing, Purchaser and its agents, engineers, surveyors, appraisers, auditors and other representatives (any of the foregoing, “Purchaser’s Agents”) shall have the right to enter upon the Property to inspect, examine, survey, obtain engineering inspections, test, appraise, and otherwise do that which, in the good faith opinion of Purchaser, is necessary or appropriate in connection with Purchaser’s purchase of the Property (and, on or before the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of the existing survey for the Property to the extent Seller is in possession or control of such survey).

Purchaser hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold Seller and Seller Parties (as defined below) harmless from and against any claim for losses, liabilities, expenses, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees), damage or injuries suffered or incurred by any of Seller or Seller Parties arising out of, resulting from, relating to or in connection with or from (i) damage to property or injury to persons arising from any such inspection by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Agents and (ii) any breach of the provisions of this Section 5, or any liens filed against Seller or the Property in connection

Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the following books and records (the “Excluded Records”) shall not be subject to review by Purchaser (including under this Section 5.2.2): all proprietary, privileged or confidential documents of Seller (or any Affiliate (defined below) thereof relating to (i) any financing of the Property, (iii) any Seller or Affiliate income or franchise tax returns, (iv) any appraisal or valuation of the Property, (v) any internal financial analysis or projections, (vi) any marketing studies or reports, (vii) any credit analysis, (viii) any prior offers to purchase the Property, (ix) any other materials related to Seller’s investment structure for purchasing and holding the Property which do not relate to matters reasonably relevant to ownership of the Property or (x) any matters subject to attorney-client privilege.

RFR Property No: 3339 |
together with copies of all written covenants, restrictions, easements and agreements which are listed as exceptions thereon (collectively, the “Preliminary Title Commitment”).
6.1.2 Within three (3) Business Days of the Effective Date, Seller shall cause to be delivered to Purchaser a copy of the most current ALTA survey affecting the Property in the possession of Seller.
6.2 Approval.
6.2.1 Purchaser shall have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the date which is thirty-two (32) days from the RFR Notice Delivery Date to review and approve or disapprove (by delivery of a written notice to Seller) (the “Original Title Objection Notice”) (a) the Preliminary Title Commitment and all supplements thereto obtained by Purchaser after the Effective Date but prior to the Contingency Approval Date, and all exceptions to title referred to therein, and (b) all matters which would be disclosed by an ALTA survey of the Land (collectively, the “Initial Title and Survey Matters”). If Purchaser specifies any objectionable matters (“Objected Title Matters”) in the Original Title Objection Notice, Seller agrees to notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Initial Notice”) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Contingency Approval Date as to whether Seller will attempt to cure such defect(s) prior to the Closing. If Seller’s Initial Notice states that Seller refuses to cure such defect(s) (“Seller Refused Objected Title Matters”) prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall either (i) take title to the Property “as is” with respect to the matters set forth in the Original Title Objection Notice, which shall be evidenced by the Purchaser’s approval of the Due Diligence Investigations in the Purchaser’s Due Diligence Contingency Approval Notice, or (ii) in the event that Purchaser’s Due Diligence Contingency Approval Notice informs Seller that the Due Diligence Investigations are not approved by Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate as set forth in Section 5.1(b). Purchaser unconditionally waives any right to object to the Initial Title and Survey Matters known to exist at the expiration of the Due Diligence Period not objected to in the Original Title Objection Notice (other than Objected Title Matters) and any Seller Refused Objected Title Matters (which matters, collectively with the Permitted Exceptions noted in this Agreement, shall thereafter be the “Permitted Exceptions”).
6.2.2 If exceptions to title appear on any update or continuation of the Preliminary Title Commitment (each a “Continuation”) first issued after the Contingency Approval Date which are not Permitted Exceptions, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (a “Subsequent Title Objection Notice”) thereof within the earlier of ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser receives such Continuation and the last Business Day prior to the Closing Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE. If Purchaser specifies any objectionable matters in the Subsequent Title Objection Notice, Seller agrees to notify Purchaser in writing (“Seller’s Subsequent Notice”) within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of the Subsequent Title Objection Notice as to whether Seller will attempt to cure such defect(s) prior to the Closing. If Seller’s Notice states that Seller refuses to cure such defect(s) prior to the Closing, Purchaser shall have five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s Notice to notify Seller in writing of its election (the “Election Notice”) (i) to take title to the Property “as is” and consummate the Closing of the Property, (ii) terminate this Agreement, or (iii) if the defect is a lien caused by Seller that can be cured by a monetary payment not in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00), making such payment
13
RFR Property Address: 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxx Xxxxx, XX | |||
RFR Property No: 3339 |
of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or less at the Closing and reducing by a like amount the cash due to Seller at the Closing. If Purchaser shall fail to deliver its Election Notice in the time prescribed above, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected clause (ii) above. If Seller’s Initial Notice or Seller’s Subsequent Notice provides that Seller shall attempt to cure any defects described therein prior to the Closing, but Seller fails to do so prior to the Closing (as the same may be adjourned by Seller pursuant to Section 6.2.3), Purchaser may at the Closing elect clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) as set forth above. Seller’s failure to cure any of Purchaser’s objections raised in the Original Title Objection Notice or the Subsequent Title Objection Notice shall not be a default on Seller’s part, but shall give Purchaser the rights set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of this Section 6.2.2.

For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to (or for the direct benefit of) the Tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, tenant improvement costs, and design and refurbishment allowances.

IF (A) PRIOR TO THE DATE THAT IS THREE (3) DAYS BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE, PURCHASER FAILS TO PERFORM ANY OF ITS MATERIAL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITHIN THREE (3) DAYS AFTER WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF FROM SELLER, OR (B) THE CLOSING SHALL NOT OCCUR AS THE RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IN EACH CASE, SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO ESCROWEE AND PURCHASER, AND UPON SUCH TERMINATION, ESCROWEE SHALL IMMEDIATELY DELIVER THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST THEREON TO SELLER AS FULL COMPENSATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH TERMINATION SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT PURCHASER’S AND SELLER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

16.Seller’s Default.
In the event of Seller’s Default (as hereinafter defined)), Purchaser, at its sole option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, may either (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event (i) Escrowee shall refund to Purchaser the Deposit, together with all interest thereon, if any, and (ii) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its actually incurred out-of-pocket expenses not to exceed an amount of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) in the aggregate (the “Capped Expenses Amount”), and neither party shall thereafter have any further right or obligation hereunder, other than the surviving obligations expressly provided for herein, or (b) within forty-five (45) days after any rights of Purchaser arise due to a Seller’s Default, bring an action in equity against Seller for specific performance. “Seller’s Default” shall mean Seller’s failure to perform its obligation to convey the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (as opposed to the failure of a condition listed in Section 12.1 over which Seller had no reasonable control), provided: (1) the reasons for such refusal do not include conditions beyond Seller’s reasonable control or the non-conformance of title with the conditions described in Section 6.2; and (2) Purchaser has satisfied all conditions required to be satisfied by it under this Agreement, is not otherwise in default under this Agreement, and is ready, willing and able to perform all of its obligations under this Agreement and to deliver the Purchase Price due Seller under this Agreement (without tender thereof being required). In no event may Purchaser bring an action against Seller for damages or seek any remedy (whether or not in an action at law or in equity) against Seller on account of a Seller’s default prior to the Closing that could require Seller to pay any monies to Purchaser (other than the Capped Expenses Amount) whether characterized as damages or otherwise (except for an action (i) to compel Escrowee to return the Deposit to Purchaser if Purchaser is, in fact, entitled to the return thereof in accordance with this Agreement or (ii) with respect to any failure of Seller to pay the Break-Up Fee (defined below) (if applicable) under Section 35.2.3). The untruth or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty of Seller shall not entitle Purchaser to pursue damages or specific performance under this Section 16, but shall be governed by Section 33 of this Agreement.
17.Casualty Loss and Condemnation.
If, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is (i) taken or rendered unusable for its current purpose or reasonably inaccessible by eminent domain, (ii) subject of a pending or threatened taking which has not been consummated (clauses (i) and (ii) referred to herein as “Condemnation”, or (iii) destroyed by fire or other casualty (“Casualty Event”) (any of Condemnation or Casualty Event, an “Interruption Event”), then Seller shall so notify Purchaser of such fact or facts in writing, and:
17.1 Material Event. If an Interruption Event (a) would result (in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion) in Restoration Costs (defined below) in excess of four percent (4%) of the Purchase Price or (b) in the event of a Condemnation, would prevent public access to the Property or result in any material and adverse loss of parking at the Property (which is defined as the loss of use of five percent (5%) or more of the Property’s parking stalls, or (c) would entitle Xxxxx to terminate its Lease (any such event is referred to herein as a “Material Event”), then Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement (by written notice given to Seller
28
RFR Property Address: 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxx., Xxxx Xxxxx, XX | |||
RFR Property No: 3339 |
within fifteen (15) days of receipt of notice of the applicable Material Event; provided, however, if Purchaser shall elect to terminate this Agreement as a result of a Casualty Event, Seller may, at its option, by written notice to Purchaser (the “Casualty Vitiation Notice”) within five (5) days after Seller’s receipt of written notice from Purchaser exercising such termination right, notify Purchaser that it intends to repair the damage caused by such Casualty Event at its sole cost and expense, and Seller may, upon such notice, postpone the Closing for a period of time reasonably necessary, but not to exceed twenty (20) days in the aggregate, to make such repairs. “Restoration Costs” means the sum of (i) all costs required or necessary to fully restore all damage to the Property, including all parking facilities and amenities (in the case of a Casualty Event), to its condition prior to such Casualty Event or provide for a fully restored and functioning Property (including all parking facilities and amenities) (in the case of a Condemnation) (with the area of loss limited only to the area so condemned)) and (ii) all rental loss and rental abatement to be suffered in connection with the Material Event in question. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 17.1 and Seller elects not to send the Casualty Vitiation Notice to Purchaser as set forth in this Section 17.1, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser by the Escrowee, in which event this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those rights and obligations under this Agreement which expressly survive such a termination; and
17.2 Non-Material Event.
17.2.1 If either (x) an Interruption Event is not a Material Event or (y) Purchaser elects not to terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 17.1, Purchaser shall accept the Property in its then “as is” condition with no abatement of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, (i) if the Interruption Event is a Condemnation, all of Seller’s interest in and to all awards for such Condemnation, and (ii) if the Interruption Event is a Casualty Event, all of Seller’s interest in and to all casualty insurance proceeds (including business interruption and/or rental value insurance proceeds) payable in connection with such Casualty Event (except that the proceeds of any business interruption or rental value insurance payable to Seller shall be apportioned as of the Closing Date), together with a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible payable by Seller in connection with such casualty coverage, less, in each instance of Condemnation awards or casualty insurance proceeds, as the case may be, the amount thereof expended in good faith by Seller in the collection thereof or in the restoration or protection of the Property.
17.2.2 Seller shall promptly and expeditiously take all action and execute all such documents (all at Seller’s sole cost and expense) as Purchaser shall in good faith request of Seller following the Closing in order for Purchaser to fully obtain all Condemnation awards and casualty insurance proceeds assigned to Purchaser by Seller pursuant to Section 17.2.1. The rights and obligations of Purchaser and Seller under Sections 17.1 and 17.2 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the deed, without restriction as to time.
18.Notices. All notices (including, without limitation, approvals, consents and exercises of rights or options) required by or relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and
29

All notices shall be addressed to the other respective party at its address above set forth, or at such other address as such other party shall designate by notice, and shall be effective when delivered to such address.
19.Brokers. Seller hereby indemnifies and holds Purchaser harmless from and against any and all claims for any commission, fee or other compensation by any person or entity, including Eastdil Secured, L.L.C. (“Eastdil”), but excluding Purchaser’s Broker, who shall claim to have dealt with Seller in connection with this transaction, and for any costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with any such claims, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. Purchaser hereby indemnifies and holds Seller harmless from and against any and all claims for any commission, fee or other compensation by any person or entity, including Xxxxxx Commercial, Xxxx Xxxxxxx and Company (“Purchaser’s Broker”), but excluding Eastdil, who shall claim to have been engaged by Purchaser in connection with this transaction, and for any costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with any such claims, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements. The provisions of this Section 19 shall survive the Closing or any earlier termination of this Agreement.

Exhibit B
Escrow Agreement
First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrowee”) agrees to hold in escrow pursuant to this Escrow Agreement (this “Escrow Agreement”), the sum of FOURTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY NINE AND 00/100 ($14,559) (the “Deposit”) to be deposited by National Financial Realty – WFB East Coast, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Purchaser”) pursuant to a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), among Purchaser and First States Investors 3300 B, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), the provisions of which (including, without limitation, the defined terms) are hereby incorporated herein by reference. The Deposit shall be disbursed by Escrowee as set forth in the Agreement. Escrowee shall, immediately upon receipt of the Deposit, deposit same in an interest bearing, money market type escrow account with a federally insured bank or savings and loan association.
All interest which shall accrue on the Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price, if Closing occurs, and if Closing does not occur, shall be paid to whichever party to the Agreement is entitled to receive the Deposit. Escrowee shall pay such interest to such party contemporaneously with Escrowee’s payment of the Deposit.
Seller and Purchaser agree that Escrowee is an escrow holder only and is merely responsible for the safekeeping of the Deposit and interest and shall not be required to determine questions of fact or law. If Escrowee shall receive notice of a dispute as to the disposition of the Deposit or the interest, then Escrowee shall not distribute the Deposit or interest except in accordance with written instructions signed by both Purchaser and Seller. Pending resolution of any such dispute, Escrowee is authorized to pay the Deposit and interest into court. If Escrowee pays the Deposit and interest into court, it shall be discharged from all further obligations hereunder. Concurrent with Escrowee’s execution of this Escrow Agreement, Escrowee shall issue or cause to be issued to Seller and Purchaser an ALTA Closing Protection Letter duly authorized and executed by an officer or authorized agent of the title insurance company or companies issuing title insurance commitment for the Property.
In the event that the Escrowee receives conflicting instructions from the parties or determines in good faith that a bona fide dispute exists as to whether the Escrowee is obligated to deliver the Deposit, or as to whom said Deposit is to be delivered, the Escrowee, at its option, (a) may refuse to comply with any claims or demands on it and continue to hold the Deposit until (i) the Escrowee receives written notice signed by the Seller and the Purchaser directing the release and delivery of the Deposit, in which event the Escrowee shall then release and deliver the Deposit in accordance with said direction, or (ii) the Escrowee receives a certified copy of a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the release and delivery of the Deposit, in which event the Escrowee shall then release and deliver the Deposit in accordance with said direction, or (b) may deliver the Deposit to the Clerk of Superior Court of the County of Los Angeles, State of California, or (c) may take such affirmative steps as the Escrowee may elect in order to substitute another impartial party reasonably satisfactory to the Seller and the Purchaser (whose consents to such substitution shall not be unreasonably withheld), to hold the Deposit,
including, without limitation, the deposit thereof in a court of competent jurisdiction and the commencement of an action for interpleader, the costs thereof to be the joint and several obligation of the Seller and the Purchaser (but, as between the Seller and the Purchaser, such costs shall be borne by whichever of the Seller or the Purchaser is the losing party, or in accordance with any mutual agreement of the Seller and the Purchaser if neither party is the losing party).
The Escrowee is acting as a stakeholder only with respect to the Deposit. It is agreed that the duties of the Escrowee are only as herein specifically provided, and are purely ministerial in nature, and that the Escrowee shall incur no liability whatsoever except for the willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Seller and Purchaser each release the Escrowee from any act done or omitted to be done by the Escrowee in good faith in the performance of its duties hereunder.
The Seller and the Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to the Escrowee) and save harmless the Escrowee from and against all loss, cost, claim, liability, damage and expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrowee’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or suffered by the Escrowee in bad faith, in willful disregard of this Escrow Agreement, or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrowee (the “Indemnified Matters”) (but, as between the Seller and the Purchaser, the cost of such Indemnified Matters shall be shared equally, except to the extent that such Indemnified Matters are attributable to the breach by the Seller or the Purchaser of the Agreement or this Escrow Agreement, in which event the cost shall be borne by whichever of the Seller or the Purchaser is the breaching party).
The parties agree and acknowledge that the Escrowee has no liability in connection with Deposit in the event of failure or insolvency of the financial institution in which the Deposit is deposited.
All notices, demands, offers, elections or other communications required or permitted by this Escrow Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered, wither by express mail or by reputable overnight courier which delivers only upon receipt of addresses, and addressed to the party at its address set forth below by either of the aforesaid methods, with a return receipt requested, with copies as follows:

In its capacity as Escrowee, Escrowee shall not be responsible for the genuineness or validity of any security, instrument, document or item deposited with it, and shall have no responsibility other than to faithfully follow the instructions contained herein, and it is fully protected in acting in accordance with any written instrument given to it hereunder by any of the parties hereto and believed by Escrowee to have been signed by the proper person. Escrowee may assume that any person purporting to give any notice hereunder and representing that they have the authority to do so has been duly authorized to do so.
Escrowee shall have no duties or responsibilities other than those expressly set forth herein. Escrowee shall have no duty to enforce any obligation of any person to make any payment or delivery or to enforce any obligation of any person to perform any other act.

Recitals
A. Purchaser and Seller entered into that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated November 6, 2012 (the “Purchase Agreement”) with respect to that certain property commonly known as 00000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx, XX 00000 and more particularly described on Exhibit “1” attached hereto (the “Property”).
B. That portion of the Property described on Exhibit “2” attached hereto (the “Leased Premises”) is subject to that certain Lease (as amended to the date hereof, the “Existing Xxxxx Lease”) dated September 22, 2004 by and between Wachovia Bank National Association (“Wachovia”), the predecessor in interest to Xxxxx Fargo Bank NA (“Xxxxx”) and First States Investors 3300 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“FS 3300 LLC”), the predecessor in interest to Seller. Seller is the current Landlord (as defined in the Existing Xxxxx Lease) and Xxxxx is the current Tenant (as defined in the Existing Xxxxx Lease) under the Existing Xxxxx Lease. Under Section 11.1 of the Existing Xxxxx Lease, Xxxxx has the right to terminate the Existing Xxxxx Lease as to all or any portion of the Leased Premises on the terms and conditions set forth therein (“Xxxxx’x Termination Right”).
C. FS 3300 LLC and Wachovia entered into that certain Master Agreement Regarding Leases dated as of September 22, 2004, which Master Agreement Regarding Leases was amended by an amendment dated as of June __, 2005 (the “First Amendment’) and by that certain Second Amendment to Master Agreement (the “Second Amendment”) dated as of April 1, 2008, each by and among Wachovia, FS 3300 LLC, and Seller (such Master Agreement Regarding Leases, as amended by the First Amendment and the Second Amendment, is referred to herein as the “Existing Master Agreement”). Under the Second Amendment, Seller has been designated the “Master Landlord” (the “Master Landlord”) under the Existing Master Agreement.
D. As used herein, (i) the term “Xxxxx Lease” means the Existing Xxxxx Lease as amended or otherwise modified from time to time after the date hereof, and (ii) the term “Master Agreement” means the Existing Master Agreement as amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with Section 5c of this Agreement.
10
E. The Xxxxx Lease is a “Lease” (“Lease”) under the Existing Master Agreement.
F. Under the provisions of the Existing Master Agreement, by virtue of the sale of the Property by Seller to Purchaser concurrently herewith (and the concurrent satisfaction of all mortgage indebtedness encumbering the Property immediately prior to such sale), (i) the Existing Xxxxx Lease is a “Non-Integrated Lease” (as such term is defined in the Existing Master Agreement) for purposes of the application and interpretation of the Existing Master Agreement, (ii) there is no “Portfolio Loan”, as such term is defined in the Existing Master Agreement, encumbering the Property, and (iii) there is no “Portfolio Lender” or “Designated Portfolio Lender”, as such terms are defined in the Existing Master Agreement, with respect to the Property or the Existing Xxxxx Lease. In addition, Xxxxx’x Termination Right is referred to under the Master Agreement as “Wachovia’s Termination Rights”.
G. Section 3.4 of the Master Agreement provides that with respect to Xxxxx’x exercise of Wachovia’s Termination Rights under any Non-Integrated Lease, (i) Xxxxx “shall (on or prior to the Early Termination Date) pay the Excess Termination Rights Payment with respect to such exercise…to the Master Landlord, if there is no Designated Portfolio Lender…” and (ii) “in no event will the obligation of Wachovia [now Xxxxx] to pay Rent under a Non-Integrated Lease terminate until the applicable Excess Termination Rights Payment required pursuant to Section 3.4 is paid….” (such condition precedent to termination of Xxxxx’x obligation to pay Rent under the Xxxxx Lease pursuant to the foregoing provisions of Section 3.4 of the Master Agreement is referred to herein as the “Section 3.4 Rent Obligation Termination Condition”).
H. The KBS Primary Parties own, directly or indirectly, interests in Seller, and have a financial interest in the closing of a sale of the Property to Purchaser. In order to induce Purchaser to close its purchase of the Property under the Purchase Agreement, Seller desires the KBS Primary Parties to enter into this Agreement for the benefit of Purchaser and its successors and assigns.
NOW THEREFORE, FOR GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, RECEIPT OF WHICH IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1.Defined Terms: Capitalized terms used, but not defined, herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Xxxxx Lease.
2. Payment of the KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment
a. No exercise of Xxxxx’ Termination Rights with respect to the Xxxxx Lease is effective until satisfaction of the Section 3.4 Rent Obligation Termination Condition. Upon any exercise of Xxxxx’x Termination Rights under the Xxxxx Lease and satisfaction of the Section 3.4 Rent Obligation Termination Condition with respect thereto with respect to all or any portion of the Leased Premises (a “Xxxxx Lease Termination Event”), Seller shall pay to Purchaser, or its designee, on or before the Early Termination Date with respect thereto an amount equal to the KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment (defined below) with respect to such Xxxxx Lease Termination Event, which KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment shall be calculated in accordance with Section 2b below. Each KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment shall be
11
so paid by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds to such wire transfer address as Purchaser shall provide to Seller in writing.
b. With respect to each Xxxxx Lease Termination Event, the “KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment” means an amount equal to the net present value of the Annual Base Rent (as such term is defined in the Master Agreement) that would have been payable for the balance of the Initial Term with respect to the excess of (i) the Exercise Termination Area (as such term is defined in the Master Agreement) as to such exercise, over (ii) the then Available Termination Rights Area (as such term is defined in the Master Agreement) (the “Excess Exercise Termination Area”), had such Non-Integrated Lease not been terminated as to such Excess Exercise Termination Area (which net present value shall be determined as of the day immediately following the Early Termination Date, using a discount rate equal to the Prime Rate).
c. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the provisions of Section 2a shall not apply to those certain pending Xxxxx Lease Termination Events described on Exhibit “3” attached hereto.
d. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not be liable to Purchaser for any KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment under this Section 2 to the extent that such payment is withheld or otherwise not paid due to the action or failure to act of the NFR Special Partner (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) as determined by a final, non-appealable order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that in no event shall the NFR Special Partner be required to itself contribute funds for payment by Seller of any KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payment.
e. All payments by Seller under this Section 2 shall be made without any setoff, counterclaim or other defense which Seller or any of the KBS Primary Parties may from time to time have against Purchaser.
3. Enforcement of the Section 3.4 Rent Obligation Termination Condition
Seller shall diligently enforce on a prompt and timely basis, and shall promptly take all action requested in good faith by Purchaser or a Purchaser Successor (defined below) to assist Purchaser or such Purchaser Successor to enforce on a diligent and timely basis, the Section 3.4 Rent Obligation Termination Condition.
4. Continuation of the Master Agreement
a. Seller shall cause the Master Agreement to continue in full force and effect for the remainder of the Initial Term of the Xxxxx Lease, and for the remainder of the Initial Term of the Xxxxx Lease, the KBS Primary Parties shall (i) cause Seller to remain in existence and in good standing, with no changes in the ownership thereof (except for the NFR Special Partner, as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) and (ii) take such action as shall be necessary to prevent Seller from being rendered insolvent or bankrupt, and to eliminate all liens or encumbrances on the assets of Seller.
12
b. Seller shall not default in the performance of any of its obligations as the Master Landlord (as that term is defined under the Master Agreement) under the Master Agreement nor suffer or permit any event or occurrence, including, without limitation, the dissolution of Seller, which could or would result in the loss of any of Seller’s rights as the Master Landlord under the Master Agreement or would deprive Purchaser or any Purchaser Successor the benefit of its rights under this Agreement.
c. Seller shall not amend the Master Agreement in any manner without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent Purchaser may grant or withhold in its sole and absolute discretion.
d. Seller shall not assign, mortgage, pledge, or otherwise encumber any of its rights or obligations under the Master Agreement (or any of its other assets) until following the expiration of the Initial Term.
e. During the term of the Master Agreement, Seller shall, from time to time, satisfy all liabilities of Seller as the same shall become due. At the closing under the Purchase Agreement, all monetary indebtedness of Seller shall be satisfied in full and all mortgages, security interests, pledges and other monetary liens encumbering the assets of Seller shall be released in full.
f. At Purchaser’s request, Seller shall cause the current independent member of Seller’s general partner, First States Investors 3300 B GP, LLC, to be replaced by an entity or individual designated by Purchaser.
5. The Guaranty by the KBS Primary Parties To induce Purchaser to consummate its purchase of the Property under the Purchase Agreement, each of the KBS Primary Parties (collectively, jointly and severally, “Guarantor”) hereby jointly and severally represent, warrant and covenant to Purchaser as follows:
5.1 Authorization and Enforceability of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized and executed by each of the KBS Primary Parties and Seller, and is a legal, valid and binding instrument enforceable against each of Seller and each of the KBS Primary Parties (collectively, the “Seller Parties”) in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws of general application affecting the rights and remedies of creditors. The closing of the sale of the Property under the Purchase Agreement and the execution of this Agreement creates a financial benefit for the KBS Primary Parties, who own a direct or indirect interest in Seller.
5.2 Obligations Guaranteed. Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Purchaser the prompt payment and performance, when due, of (i) all reasonable legal and other costs actually paid or incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser in the enforcement of this Agreement against any of the Seller Parties, (ii) all of Seller’s obligations hereunder to pay any and all KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payments, and (iii) any loss, cost, damage or expense paid or actually incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser by reason of (1) any misrepresentations or breach of any provision of this Agreement by any Seller Party, (2) any voluntary or collusive involuntary filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar proceeding by
13
or against Seller or any KBS Primary Party, (3) all payments due from Seller or any KBS Primary Party to Purchaser or its designee, including the KBS Lease Termination Inducement Payments, under or in respect of this Agreement which are not paid when due, and/or (4) all covenants to be performed by Seller or any KBS Primary Party under or in respect of this Agreement which are not materially performed, observed or otherwise fulfilled when due. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Agreement is a continuing guaranty and that the agreements, guaranties and waivers made by Guarantor herein, and Guarantor's obligations hereunder, are and shall at all times continue to be primary, absolute and unconditional.
5.3 Liability Unimpaired. Guarantor's liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Guarantor hereby consents to and agrees to be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Xxxxx Lease by Purchaser or any person who succeeds Purchaser as owner of all or part of the Property. In addition, Guarantor's liability hereunder shall in no way be limited or impaired by, and Guarantor waives any defenses, excuse or other right arising by reason of, (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of said documents, (ii) any sale or transfer of all or any part of the Property or the Xxxxx Lease, (iii) the release of Seller or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of said instruments by operation of law or otherwise, (iv) Purchaser’s acceptance of any money or property in partial satisfaction of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (v) Purchaser’s delay in pursuing any right, power, privilege or remedy or (vi) any other action or circumstance whatsoever which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any Seller Party for its obligations under this Agreement; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Guarantor and with or without consideration. Guarantor’s obligations and liabilities under this Agreement are absolute, independent of and regardless of any defenses, counterclaims, set-offs, cross-claims or other claims which Guarantor may now have or at any time hereafter have against Seller or Purchaser or any other person, firm, corporation for any reason whatsoever. Guarantor further agrees that any such defenses, counterclaims, set-offs, cross-claims or other claims which Guarantor may have now, or at any time hereafter have, shall not be enforceable in any independent action which would interfere with or in any way reduce the obligations owed by Guarantor under this Agreement. Guarantor unconditionally waives: (a) any right to assert or claim that Guarantor is exonerated by any action taken by Purchaser which impairs Guarantor’s rights to be subrogated to Purchaser’s rights against any Seller Party; (b) the right to enforce any remedies that Purchaser now has, or later may have, against Seller until such time as all obligations of Seller (to Purchaser) under this Agreement have been satisfied and the Master Agreement shall no longer be in effect until the earlier of (1) payment in full from all obligations of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement, and (2) the date when the Master Agreement expires or terminates or is no longer in effect; (c) any right to participate in, proceed against, or exhaust any security now or later held by Purchaser; (d) all presentments, demands for performance, notices of non-performance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, and notices of acceptance of this Agreement; (e) all notices of the existence, creation or incurrence of new or additional obligations under this Agreement; (f) any duty of Purchaser to advise Guarantor of any information known to Purchaser regarding the financial condition of Seller or any other Seller Party; (h) the right to proceed against Seller or pursue any particular remedy in Purchaser’s power; (i) any defense by reason of any disability of Seller and any other defense based upon the termination of Seller’s ability to perform under this Agreement from any cause (other than Seller’s payment and
14
performance in full of its obligations to Purchaser under this Agreement); (j) any right or defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election or remedies by Purchaser; and (k) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof. Guarantor expressly waives any rights or defenses that are or may become available to Guarantor under, or arising directly or indirectly by reason of, any of the provisions of Sections 2787 through and including Section 2855 the Civil Code of California, as recodified from time to time.
5.4 Preservation of Master Agreement. Guarantor will cause Seller to maintain and preserve the enforceability of the Master Agreement as the same may be modified (subject to the remaining provisions of this Agreement) and will not permit Seller to take or to fail to take actions of any kind (other than payment or performance in full of Seller’s obligations hereunder), the taking of which or the failure to take which might be the basis for a claim that Guarantor has a defense to its obligations hereunder (and Guarantor hereby waives any right or defense based upon any action or omission described in this Section).
5.5 Indemnification; Payments; Certain Waivers. Guarantor (i) unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of Seller’s or any other Person's assets or to cause Purchaser to proceed against all or any portion of any of the security for the Seller Parties’ obligations guaranteed hereby or against any other guarantor or other individual or entity who may be liable for all or any part of the obligations hereby guaranteed before proceeding against Guarantor or to proceed against Guarantor, if more than one, in any particular order, (ii) agrees that any payments required to be made by Guarantor hereunder shall become due on demand pursuant to a notice from Purchaser to Guarantor given in accordance with this Agreement and without presentment to Seller, demand for payment or protest, or notice of non-payment or protest and (iii) expressly postpones and subordinates to Purchaser’s rights, for so long as any obligation of any of the Seller Parties hereunder remains unsatisfied and for so long as the Master Agreement remains in effect, all rights and remedies accorded by applicable law to Guarantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantor hereby postpones and subordinates, for so long as any obligations of any of the Seller Parties hereunder remains unsatisfied and for so long as the Master Agreement remains in effect, all rights (x) of subrogation, (y) to participate in any claim or remedy Purchaser may now or hereafter have against Seller and (z) to contribution, indemnification, set-off, exoneration or reimbursement, from any Person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any of Seller Parties' obligations hereunder to Purchaser, and whether arising by contract or operation of law or otherwise by reason of Guarantor's execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement.
5.6 Reinstatement. This Agreement shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated automatically, as the case may be, if at any time payment, in whole or in part, of any of the obligations guaranteed hereby is rescinded or otherwise must be restored or returned by Purchaser (whether as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise) upon or in connection with the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Seller Party or any other Person, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Seller Party, Guarantor or any other Person or for a substantial part of any of such Person's property, as the case may be, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. Guarantor further agrees that in the event any such payment is rescinded or must be restored or returned, all costs and expenses (including, without
15
limitation, reasonable legal fees and expenses) actually incurred by or on behalf of Purchaser in defending or enforcing such continuance or reinstatement, as the case may be, shall constitute costs of enforcement, the payment of which is guaranteed by Guarantor pursuant to Section 6.2 above and covered by Guarantor's indemnity pursuant to Section 6.5 above.
5.7 Formation and Existence; Power and Authority. If Guarantor is a corporation, partnership, venture, trust or limited liability company, it is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation and has full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. Guarantor will preserve and maintain such legal existence and good standing.
5.8 Litigation. To Guarantor's actual knowledge, Guarantor has not received any written notice of any pending or threatened suit, action or proceeding, which (a) if determined adversely to Guarantor, materially and adversely affects the Guarantor’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or (b) questions the validity of this Agreement or any action taken or to be taken pursuant hereto.
5.9 No Conflicts. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the performance of this Agreement have not resulted and will not result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, any mortgage, deed of trust, bank loan or credit agreement, corporate charter, by-laws, partnership agreement or other instrument by which Guarantor is bound.
5.10 Financial Statements. The most recent financial statements heretofore delivered by each Guarantor to Purchaser in the form of Exhibit “4” attached hereto are true, correct and complete in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with consistently applied accounting principles and fairly present Guarantor's financial condition as of the respective dates thereof; no material adverse change has occurred in the financial conditions reflected therein since the respective dates thereof. Guarantor has received and is fully familiar with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
5.11 Non-Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on Purchaser’s part in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right or shall be deemed to constitute Purchaser's acquiescence in any default by Seller or Guarantor under this Agreement. A waiver by Purchaser of any right or remedy under this Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a bar to any right or remedy which Purchaser otherwise would have on any future occasion. The rights and remedies provided in said documents are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
5.12 Liability Unaffected by Release. Any Guarantor, or any other party liable upon or in respect of any obligation hereby guaranteed, may be released without affecting the liability of any Guarantor not so released.
5.13 Transfers of Interests in this Agreement. Each Seller Party recognizes that Purchaser may (a) pledge and grant a security interest in Purchaser’s rights under this Agreement to a single lender (or a single administrative agent acting as the agent of multiple lenders) to Purchaser, and (b) sell and transfer its rights in this Agreement to a single purchaser who shall
16
purchase substantially all of Purchaser’s interest in the Property, in each case, without any consent or other action by each Seller Party. Each Seller Party agrees that all documentation, financial statements, appraisals and other data, or copies thereof, relevant to Seller, any Guarantor or this Agreement, may be exhibited to and retained by any such lender, administrative agent or purchaser or prospective lender, administrative agent, or purchaser. Purchaser's delivery of any financial statements and appraisals shall be done on a confidential basis and if such prospective lender, administrative agent, or purchaser does not become a lender, administrative agent or purchaser, then all documentation delivered to such prospective lender, administrative agent or purchaser pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be returned to Purchaser or certified by the recipient thereof to have been destroyed.
5.14 Separate Indemnity/Other Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser's rights (and Guarantor's obligations) under this Agreement shall be in addition to all of Purchaser’s rights (and all of Guarantor's obligations) under any other guaranty or any indemnity agreement now or hereafter executed and delivered to Purchaser by Seller and/or Guarantor, and payments by Guarantor under this Agreement shall not reduce any of Guarantor's obligations and liabilities under any such other guaranty or indemnity agreement.
5.15 ADDITIONAL WAIVERS IN THE EVENT OF ENFORCEMENT. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GUARANTOR, AND BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, PURCHASER HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY AND EVERY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY.
6. Estoppel Certificates. Each of the KBS Primary Parties and Seller agree at any time and from time to time upon not less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice from Purchaser, to execute, acknowledge and deliver to Purchaser a statement in writing certifying to those facts for which certification has been reasonably requested by Purchaser or any current or prospective purchaser, lender, holder of any security document, ground lessor or master lessor of the Property, including, but without limitation, that (i) the Xxxxx Lease, the Master Agreement and this Agreement are unmodified and in full force and effect (or if there have been modifications, that the same is in full force and effect as modified and stating the modifications), (ii) the dates to which the Rent and other charges hereunder, if any, have been paid under the Lease, and (iii) whether or not to the knowledge of the KBS Primary Parties, Purchaser is in default in the performance of any covenant, agreement or condition contained in the Xxxxx Lease or this Agreement and, if so, specifying each such default of which the KBS Primary Parties may have knowledge. The KBS Primary Parties’ and/or Seller’s failure to execute and deliver such statement within such time shall, at the option of Purchaser, constitute a material default under this Agreement. Any statement delivered pursuant to this Section 7 may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser of the fee of the Property or any mortgagee, ground lessor or other like encumbrancer thereof or any assignee of any such encumbrance upon the Property.
7. Rights of Purchaser to Assign this Agreement.
a. The rights of Purchaser hereunder shall be freely transferable and assignable by Purchaser (or its Purchaser Successor) to such party as Purchaser shall select (a
17
“Purchaser Successor”) who shall purchase Purchaser’s fee interest in the Property. Each and all of the rights and benefits of Purchaser shall inure to the benefit of each Purchaser Successor. A Purchaser Successor shall automatically be entitled to benefit from, and fully enforce each and all of the provisions of this Agreement against Seller and each of the KBS Primary Parties on the same basis as Purchaser.
b. None of Seller or any of the KBS Primary Parties may assign any of its right or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld by Purchaser in its sole discretion, and in any case, no assignment or transfer of such rights and/or obligations shall affect the liability of Seller and the KBS Primary Parties hereunder, which liability shall remain primary in all cases.
8. Miscellaneous.
a. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
b. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or other action or suit between the parties hereto concerning this Agreement, the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby, the losing party shall pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs (together with other professional fees incurred, including the fees of accountants and engineers) incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such litigation, action or other suit, including appeals and enforcement of any judgment in connection therewith.

Section 13. | Capital Contributions. |

The Indemnitees shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts, including financial advice of investment bankers, and any act of or failure to act by an Indemnitee in good faith reliance upon such advice shall in no event subject an Indemnitee to liability to the Partnership or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed as (i) eliminating or otherwise restricting in any way the duties (including fiduciary duties) or liabilities for breach of contract or breach of duties (including fiduciary duties) of the Incumbent General Partner to the Partnership and the Partners arising from any act or omission of the Incumbent General Partner in contravention of
48

(d) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by an Indemnitee defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Partnership prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Partnership of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 19.
(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law but in all events subject to Section 9(c), Indemnitee shall be fully relieved of duties (including fiduciary duties), and fully protected from liability to the Partnership, any Partner or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement in relying in good faith upon the provisions of this Agreement, upon the records of the Partnership and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Partnership by any Person as to matters the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Partnership, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Partners might properly be paid.
(f) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnitee to the Partnership or its Partners otherwise existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law.

3. Purposes of the Company. The purposes and powers of the Company shall be limited to: (a) acting as general partner of the Partnership and causing the performance by the Partnership under, and defense and enforcement of the Partnership’s rights and remedies under, the Master Agreement, the NFR Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Inducement Agreement, the Omnibus Agreement and the Other Purchase and Sale Agreements, and activities related thereto, and (b) engaging in any lawful act or activity and exercising any powers permitted to limited liability companies formed under the laws of the State of Delaware that are related or incidental to and necessary, convenient or advisable for the accomplishment of the purposes set forth in clause (a) above. The Company (for itself or as the Incumbent General Partner of the Partnership, as applicable) is hereby authorized to execute, deliver and perform, and the Sole Member or any Officer, acting alone, on behalf of the Company, is hereby authorized to execute and deliver, the Certificate of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (as amended from time to time), the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Partnership (as amended from time to time), and, subject to the terms of this Agreement and the Limited Partnership Agreement, all documents, agreements, or certificates contemplated thereby or related thereto and any amendments thereto, all without any further act, vote or approval of any Member or any other Person notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement.
4. Members. (a)Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, upon the execution of this Agreement, automatically and without any further action of
B-6
any other Person, as of the date hereof (i) _______________ is hereby admitted as a member of the Company, and more specifically, as the Independent Member; (ii) the Original Independent Member shall cease to be a member of the Company; and (iii) other than the Sole Member and the Independent Member, there are no other Members of the Company and no other Person has any right to take part in the ownership of the Company. The Independent Member shall only have those rights and duties expressly set forth in this Agreement.
(b) The Company shall have two classes of Members: Equity Members and one (1) special non-economic Member, consisting of the Independent Member. “Independent Member” means (x) a natural person selected by the Special General Partner at its sole discretion, who shall not have been at the time of such individual’s appointment as an Independent Member of the Company, does not thereafter become while serving as an Independent Member (except pursuant to this Section), and shall not have been at any time during the preceding five (5) years (i) a member of, or an officer or employee of, the Company or any of its members, subsidiaries or Affiliates, (ii) a member (other than as an Independent Member) of any member, subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company, (iii) a customer of, or supplier to, the Company or any of its members, subsidiaries or Affiliates, (iv) a Person who Controls any such member, supplier or customer, or (v) a member of the immediate family of any such member, officer, employee, supplier or customer or of any member of the Company (other than as an Independent Member). A natural person who otherwise satisfies the foregoing definition (other than clause (iii) of subsection (x) above) shall not be disqualified from serving as an Independent Member of the Company because such person is an independent member or manager of a “single purpose entity” affiliated with the Company that does not own a direct or indirect equity interest in the Company or any entity that is a co-borrower with the Company if such individual is an independent member or manager provided by a nationally-recognized company that provides professional independent members or managers.

As long as the Master Agreement remains in effect or any of the Obligations is outstanding, the Sole Member shall cause the Company to at all times have at least one (1) Independent Member who will be designated by the Special General Partner at its sole discretion and appointed by Sole Member.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, including Section 18-1101(c) of the Act and Section 17-1101(d) of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act, the Independent Member shall consider only the interests of the Company or the Partnership, as applicable, including its respective creditors, in acting or otherwise voting on the matters referred to in Section 7(c). Subject to this Section 4(b), an Independent Member may only be removed, with or without cause, by the sole determination of the Special General Partner and notification of the Sole Member by the Special General Partner of such determination, whereupon the Sole Member shall remove the Independent Member. For the avoidance of doubt, neither the Sole Member nor any other member of the Company shall remove the Independent Member without the prior written consent of the Special General Partner. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes any Independent Member to cease to be a member of the Company, a new Independent Member shall be designated by the Special General Partner at its
B-7
sole discretion and appointed forthwith by Sole Member, and no decision stated in this Agreement as requiring the consent of an Independent Member shall be taken in the interim period until a new Independent Member is so appointed. No resignation or removal of an Independent Member, and no appointment of a successor Independent Member, shall be effective until such successor shall have been admitted as an Independent Member and accepted his or her appointment as Independent Member by a written instrument, which may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, in which he or she agrees to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement applicable to the Independent Member. All right, power and authority of the Independent Member shall be limited to the extent necessary to exercise those rights and perform those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement as being the responsibility of the Independent Member and no Independent Member shall have authority to otherwise bind the Company. Except as provided in the seventh sentence of this Section 4(b), in exercising its rights and performing its duties under this Agreement, the Independent Member shall have fiduciary duties identical to those of a director of a business corporation organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. No Independent Member shall at any time serve as trustee in bankruptcy for any Affiliate of the Company.
(c) The Equity Members will be the only Members of the Company that have any interest in the profits, losses or capital of the Company. Except for the rights specifically granted to the Independent Member in this Agreement, Sole Member will be the only Member of the Company with any management rights.
(d) The Independent Member shall be a Member of the Company only for the limited purposes expressly set forth in this Agreement. The Independent Member: (a) in accordance with Section 18-301 of the Act (i) will not make, and will not be obligated to make, a contribution to the Company, (ii) will not own, and will not be obligated to acquire, a limited liability company interest or other economic interest in the Company and (iii) will not have any interest in the profits, losses or capital of the Company or a right to receive any distributions of Company assets; and (b) will have no management, approval, voting, consent or veto rights in the Company, other than to the extent that their affirmative vote, approval or consent is required for the Company or Sole Member to perform certain acts or take certain actions as expressly provided in this Agreement. The Independent Member may not otherwise bind the Company.

(b) Officers as Agents. The Officers, to the extent of their powers set forth in this Agreement or otherwise vested in them by action of the Sole Member not inconsistent with this Agreement, are agents of the Company for the purpose of the Company’s business and, subject to Section 7, the actions of the Officers taken in accordance with such powers shall bind the Company.
B-12

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the failure of the Company to observe any formalities or requirements relating to the exercise of its powers or management of its business or affairs under the Act or this Agreement shall not be grounds for imposing personal liability on any Member for liabilities of the Company.
11. Additional Contributions. Subject to the consent of affected Equity Members, the Equity Members shall make additional capital contributions to the Company as Sole Member shall require from time to time, in its sole discretion. Except as set forth in this Section 11, no Member shall have any obligation to make any further contributions or loans to the Company. In accordance with Section 4, the Independent Member shall not be required to make any capital contributions to the Company. The provisions of this Agreement, including this Section 11, are intended to benefit the Members and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not be construed as conferring any benefit upon any creditor of the Company (other than an Indemnitee and the NFR Purchaser) (and no such creditor of the Company other than an Indemnitee or the NFR Purchaser shall be a third-party beneficiary of this Agreement) and the Members shall not have any duty or obligation to any creditor of the Company to make any contribution to the Company or to issue any call for capital pursuant to this Agreement.

13. Distributions. Distributions shall be made to the Equity Members at the time and in the aggregate amounts determined by Sole Member, in its sole discretion. Such distributions shall be allocated solely to the Sole Member, except if there is more than one Equity Member, such distributions shall be allocated among the Equity Members in the same percentage as their percentage interest in the Company. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not be required to make a distribution to an Equity Member on account of its interest in the Company if such distribution would violate the Act or any other applicable law.
14. Transfers.
(a) For so long as the Master Agreement shall remain in effect or any of the Obligations is outstanding, each Equity Member shall not assign, transfer, collaterally assign, encumber, create any lien or security interest on, or otherwise dispose in any manner whatsoever any of its limited liability company interest in the Company, and any purported assignment or
B-13
other disposition (including, without limitation, any purported assignment by merger or consolidation) shall be null and void ab initio.
(b) Provided that the Master Agreement shall no longer remain in effect and all Obligations have been discharged in full, Sole Member may assign all or a portion of its limited liability company interest in the Company in accordance with this Section 14(b); provided, however, if there shall at any time be more than one Equity Member, no Equity Member may assign its limited liability company interest in the Company without the consent of the other Equity Members. Subject to Section 5, any transferee of a limited liability company interest in the Company shall be admitted to the Company as an Equity Member of the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, and such transferee shall be deemed admitted as an Equity Member of the Company effective immediately prior to such transfer and, in the event the transferor Equity Member transfers all of its limited liability company interest in the Company, immediately following such admission, the transferor Equity Member shall cease to be a member of the Company. Following any transfer pursuant to this Agreement, the Equity Members shall adjust the percentage interests of the Members on the books and records of the Company to reflect such transfer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor to an Equity Member by merger or consolidation shall, without further act, be an Equity Member hereunder, and such merger or consolidation shall not constitute an assignment for purposes of this Agreement and the Company shall continue without dissolution.
(c) The Independent Member may not assign, transfer, collaterally assign, encumber, create any lien or security interest on, or otherwise dispose in any manner whatsoever any of its rights in the Company (including, without limitation, its limited liability company interest in the Company), except to (i) a transferee of all of the NFR Property, or (ii) a Permitted Lender following foreclosure of such Permitted Lender’s mortgage lien and security interests (or its receipt of a deed in lieu of foreclosure). Any purported assignment or other disposition (including, without limitation, any purported assignment by merger or consolidation) in contravention of this subsection (c) shall be null and void ab initio.
15. Resignation of a Member.
(a) For so long as the Master Agreement or any of the Obligations is outstanding shall remain in effect, no Equity Member shall resign from the Company.
(b) Provided that the Master Agreement shall no longer remain in effect and all Obligations have been discharged in full, an Equity Member may resign from the Company in accordance with this Section 15(b). An Equity Member may not resign from the Company if there is any other Equity Member, without the consent of such other Equity Member. If the last remaining Equity Member is permitted to resign pursuant to this Section 15(b), an additional Equity Member of the Company shall be admitted to the Company upon its execution of an instrument signifying its agreement to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, which instrument may be a counterpart signature page to this Agreement. Such admission shall be deemed effective immediately prior to the resignation and, immediately following such admission, the resigning Equity Member shall cease to be a member of the Company.
B-14
(c) No Independent Member may resign from the Company as Independent Member, except as provided in Section 4 above.
16. Other Business. Notwithstanding any duty otherwise existing at law or in equity, any Member, or any Affiliate of a Member, may engage in or possess any interest in other business ventures (unconnected with the Company) of every kind and description, independently or with others, and the Company shall not have any rights in or to such independent ventures or the income or profits therefrom by virtue of this Agreement.
17. Books and Records. The Company shall keep or cause to be kept complete and accurate books of account and records with respect to the Company’s business.

The Company, and Sole Member on behalf of the Company, shall not have the right to keep confidential from the Members any information that Sole Member would otherwise be permitted to keep confidential from the Members pursuant to Section 18-305(c) of the Act. The Company’s books of account shall be kept using the method of accounting determined by Sole Member. The Company’s independent auditor, if any, shall be an independent public accounting firm selected by Sole Member.
18. No Termination. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the death, Bankruptcy, insolvency, dissolution, liquidation, termination, incapacity or resignation of any Member shall not, in and of itself, serve to cause the dissolution, liquidation or termination of the Company.
19. Dissolution. (a)The Company shall be dissolved, and its affairs shall be wound up upon the first of the following events to occur: (i) the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution under Section 18-802 of the Act or (ii) the termination of the legal existence of the last remaining member of the Company or the occurrence of any other event which terminates the continued membership of the last remaining member of the Company in the Company unless the Company is continued without dissolution in a manner permitted by this Agreement or the Act. Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company, or that causes the last remaining Equity Member to cease to be a member of the Company (other than upon continuation of the Company without dissolution upon (A) an assignment by such Equity Member of all of its limited liability company interest in the Company and the admission of the transferee pursuant to Sections 5 and 14, or (B) the resignation of such Equity Member and the admission of an additional member of the Company pursuant to Sections 5 and 15), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in writing (I) to continue the Company and (II) to the admission of the personal representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company.
B-15
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Bankruptcy of a Member shall not cause such Member to cease to be a member of the Company and upon the occurrence of such an event, the Company shall continue without dissolution.
For purposes of Sections 18 and 19, “Bankruptcy” means, with respect to any Person, (A) if such Person (i) makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (ii) files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, (iii) is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or has entered against it an order for relief, in any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, (iv) files a petition or answer seeking for itself any reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, (v) files an answer or other pleading admitting or failing to contest the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any proceeding of this nature, or (vi) seeks, consents to or acquiesces in the appointment of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, or (B) if 120 days after the commencement of any proceeding against the Person seeking reorganization, arrangement, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under any statute, law or regulation, if the proceeding has not been dismissed, or if within 90 days after the appointment without such Person’s consent or acquiescence of a trustee, receiver or liquidator of such Person or of all or any substantial part of its properties, the appointment is not vacated or stayed, or within 90 days after the expiration of any such stay, the appointment is not vacated. The foregoing definition of “Bankruptcy” is intended to replace and shall supersede and replace the definition of “Bankruptcy” set forth in Sections 18-101(1) and 18-304 of the Act.
(c) In the event of a dissolution of the Company, the Company shall conduct only such activities as are necessary to wind up its affairs (including the sale of the assets of the Company in an orderly manner), and the assets of the Company shall be applied in the manner, and in the order of priority, set forth in Section 18-804 of the Act.
(d) The Company shall terminate when (i) all of the assets of the Company, after payment of or due provision for all debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company, shall have been distributed to the Equity Members in the manner provided for in this Agreement and (ii) the Certificate of Formation shall have been cancelled in the manner required by the Act.

The Company shall not be required to hold any annual or regular meeting of any of its Members (provided that if there is more than one Equity Member, the Company shall hold annual meetings of the Equity Members). Subject to the requirements of Section 7 above, any action permitted or required to be taken by all of the Equity Members or the Members may be taken by a written consent, setting forth the action to be taken and signed by all of the Equity Members or the Members, as the case may be.
21. Indemnification and Exculpation. (a)Subject to Section 7, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Officers, Members and their respective direct and indirect executors, administrators, heirs, assigns, partners, members, shareholders, employees, agents, directors and officers, as applicable, in each case in their capacity as such (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, lawsuits and other proceedings, judgments, awards, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, disbursements and court costs)
B-16
(collectively, “Losses”) incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitees in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnitee by this Agreement, provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not apply to any Losses which arise out of, but only to the extent such Losses arise out of, the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by the final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction. Provided, however, that subject to Section 11, any indemnity under this Section 21 by the Company shall be provided out of and to the extent of Company assets only, and the Members shall not have personal liability on account thereof; and provided further, that so long as the Master Agreement remains in effect or any of the Obligations is outstanding, no indemnity payment from funds of the Company (as distinct from funds from other sources, such as insurance) of any indemnity under this Section 21 shall be payable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company’s obligation to indemnify any party hereunder shall, for so long as there remains any obligation of the Partnership under the Inducement Agreement, be fully subordinated to the Obligations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall not constitute a claim against the Company in the event that available cash flow is insufficient to pay such obligation.
(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Indemnitees shall not have any liability to the Company or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement for any Losses incurred by reason of any act or omission performed or omitted by such Indemnitees in good faith on behalf of the Company and in a manner reasonably believed to be within the scope of the authority conferred on such Indemnitee by this Agreement, except where such Losses are incurred by reason of such Indemnitee’s gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct. The Indemnitees shall be entitled to rely upon the advice of legal counsel, accountants and other experts, including financial advice of investment bankers, and any act of or failure to act by an Indemnitee in good faith reliance upon such advice shall in no event subject an Indemnitee to liability to the Company or any other Person who is bound by this Agreement.
(c) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, expenses (including reasonable legal fees) incurred by an Indemnitee defending any claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding shall, from time to time, be advanced by the Company prior to the final disposition of such claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding upon receipt by the Company of an undertaking by or on behalf of the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it shall be determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified as authorized in this Section 21.
(d) To the fullest extent permitted by law, an Indemnitee shall be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and upon such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any Person as to matters the Indemnitee reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence and who has been selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of the Company, including information, opinions, reports or statements as to the value and amount of the assets, liabilities, or any other facts pertinent to the existence and amount of assets from which distributions to the Equity Members might properly be paid.
(e) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of an Indemnitee to the Company or its members otherwise
B-17
existing at law or in equity, are agreed by the parties hereto to replace such other duties and liabilities of such Indemnitee to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(f) The foregoing provisions of this Section 21 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
22. Governing Law. This Agreement is made pursuant to and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles), all rights and remedies being governed by said laws.
23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement.
24. Amendments. Subject to Section 7 above, this Agreement may be modified, altered, supplemented or amended pursuant to a written instrument executed and delivered by all of the Equity Members.
25. Severability of Provisions. Each provision of this Agreement shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision or provisions herein are determined to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal under any existing or future law, such invalidity, unenforceability or illegality shall not impair the operation of or affect those portions of this Agreement which are valid, enforceable and legal.
26. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
27. Binding Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement including, without limitation, Sections 3, 4(b), 5, 6, 7, 14, 15, 19, 21, 24, 28 and 30 constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Sole Member, and is enforceable against Sole Member by the Independent Member, in accordance with its terms.
28. Waiver of Partition; Nature of Interest. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each of the Members hereby irrevocably waives any right or power that such Person might have to institute any proceeding at law or in equity to cause the dissolution, liquidation, winding up or termination of the Company. The Members shall not have any interest in any specific assets of the Company, and the Members shall not have the status of a creditor with respect to any distribution pursuant to Section 13 hereof. The interest of the Sole Member in the Company is personal property.
29. Benefits of Agreement; No Third-Party Rights. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by any creditor of the Company or by any creditor of the Members. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to create any right in any Person (other than Indemnitees and the NFR Purchaser) not a party hereto, and this Agreement shall not be construed in any respect to be a contract in whole or in part for the benefit of any third Person (other than Indemnitees and the NFR Purchaser).
B-18
30. Limited Liability Company Interests. The limited liability company interests in the Company shall not be evidenced by certificates. The limited liability company interests in the Company shall not constitute “securities” within the meaning of, or governed by, (i) Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code (including Section 8-102(a)(15) thereof) as in effect from time to time in the State of Delaware, or (ii) the corresponding provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code of any other applicable jurisdiction that now or hereafter substantially includes the 1994 revisions to Article 8 thereof as adopted by the American Law Institute and the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995 (“Article 8”). Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Company and its Members may not otherwise determine or opt in to Article 8 with respect to the limited liability company interests in the Company.
