Sellers shall have no obligation to obtain any modification, update, or recertification of any of the Surveys. Any such modification, update or recertification of a Survey may be obtained by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense.

Section 6.2    Title and Survey Review.

(a)    Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has caused the Title Company to furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser (i) a preliminary title commitment for the 5th and Xxxx Real Property dated with an effective date of June 6, 2016 (the “5th and Xxxx PTR”), (ii) a preliminary title commitment for the Daytona Campus Real Property dated with an effective date of June 9, 2016 (the “Daytona Campus PTR”), (iii) a preliminary title commitment for the Laguna Campus Real Property dated with an effective date of June 9, 2016 (the “Laguna Campus PTR”), (iv) a preliminary title commitment for the 2851 Junction Real Property dated with an effective date of June 2, 2016 (the “2851 Junction PTR”), (v) a preliminary title commitment for the 2100 Xxxxxx Real Property dated with an effective date of May 16, 2016 (the “2100 Xxxxxx PTR”), (vi) a preliminary title commitment for the Alameda Real Property dated with an effective date of April 28, 2016 (the “Alameda PTR”), and (vii) a preliminary title commitment for the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center Real Property dated with an effective date of May 20, 2016 (the “Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center PTR”; and collectively with 5th and Xxxx PTR, Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx XXX, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx XXX, 0000 Junction PTR, 2100 Xxxxxx PTR and the Alameda PTR, the “PTRs”, and each, a “PTR”), and copies of all underlying title documents described in the PTRs. Purchaser has approved the Surveys, the PTRs, and the condition of title to the Property (but only as shown on the PTRs) subject only to Seller’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.2.

(b)    With respect to updates to the PTRs and Surveys received after the Effective Date and prior to Closing (the “Updated Reports”), Purchaser may notify Sellers in writing (the

30

“Gap Notice”) of any matters reflected in such Updated Reports that were not reflected on the PTRs or initial Surveys (“New Exceptions”); provided that Purchaser must notify Sellers of any objection to any such New Exception prior to the date which is ten (10) Business Days after being made aware of the existence of such New Exception. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Sellers a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Sellers will have ten (10) Business Days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Sellers may extend the Closing Date to provide for such ten (10) Business Day period and for ten (10) Business Days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which time Sellers may, but, except as set forth in this Section 6.2 are under no obligation to, remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, or commit to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the same at or prior to Closing (such affirmative insurance subject to Purchaser’s reasonable consent). If, within the ten (10) Business Day period, Sellers do not commit to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, and such New Exception would have a material adverse effect on the value, access or operation of the applicable Property, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon delivering a notice to Sellers terminating this Agreement on or before the date ten (10) Business Days following expiration of the ten (10) Business Day cure period. For purposes of this Section 6.2(b), a “material adverse effect” shall mean causing loss or damage in excess of ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Value of the applicable Individual Property. In the event any Property is subject to a New Exception (except those that Seller has committed to remove, are required to remove or otherwise affirmatively insure over (such affirmative insurance subject to Purchaser’s reasonable consent)) and Sellers are unwilling or unable to cure such matters in accordance herewith and such New Exceptions would not have a material adverse effect on the value, access or operation of the applicable Property, then (a) such New Exception will be deemed to be a Permitted Exception and (b) Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in the (i) amount required to remove such New Exception if it may be removed by the payment of a liquidated amount or (ii) if such New Exception may not be removed by the payment of a liquidated amount, the amount of damages or diminution of value reasonably expected to be suffered by Purchaser as a result of such New Exception. If Purchaser had the right to terminate this Agreement but fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth in this Section 6.2(b), the New Exceptions (except those Sellers have committed to remove, are required to remove or otherwise affirmatively insure over (such affirmative insurance subject to Purchaser’s reasonable consent)) will be included as Permitted Exceptions. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(b), then neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for the Termination Surviving Obligations) and the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Sellers.

(c)    Each Seller will be obligated to cure (or cause deletion from the applicable Title Polices or provide affirmative title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser over) exceptions to title to the Individual Property owned by it listed on Exhibit L attached hereto (the “Initial Must-Cure Matters”). In addition to the Sellers’ obligation to cure (or cause deletion from the applicable Title Polices or provide affirmative title insurance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) the Initial Must-Cure Matters, Sellers shall also be obligated to take (and hereby covenant to take) such actions as may be reasonably required by Title Company so that Title

31

Company is willing to issue title insurance to Purchaser without exception for (i) to the extent not an Initial Must-Cure Matter, any liens securing any existing mortgage or deed of trust financing obtained or assumed by any Seller or its Affiliate that encumbers all or any portion of the Property as of the Effective Date (an “Existing Loan”), (ii) any liens securing any other mortgage or deed of trust financing voluntarily obtained by any Seller after the Effective Date and prior to the Closing, (iii) any other mechanics’ liens or materialmens’ liens arising from any work or improvements at the Property performed by any Seller that encumber the Property on the Closing Date (other than liens or claims arising from Purchaser’s due diligence reviews or inspections hereunder and other than liens or claims arising from any work or improvements at the Property by any Tenant which the Tenant is required to remove pursuant to the terms of such Tenant’s Lease) and (iv) Voluntary Encumbrances created by Sellers on or after the Effective Date (collectively the “Post-Effective Date Must-Cure Matters”; together with the Initial Must-Cure Matters, the “Must-Cure Matters”). If any Must-Cure Matter may be removed by the payment of a sum of money and Sellers have not caused the removal of said Must-Cure Matter on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the right to deduct from the Purchase Price at Closing the amount required to cause the removal of said Must-Cure Matter.

(d)    Except as expressly provided in this Section 6.2, Sellers shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations, or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any title objections.

Section 6.3    Title Insurance. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that the Title Company issue to Purchaser ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”, and collectively, the “Title Policies”) for the Individual Properties with liability in the amount of the Allocated Value of such Individual Property, showing title to such Individual Property vested in Purchaser, subject only to: (i) the pre-printed standard exceptions in the Title Policies, (ii) exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2 above, (iii) the Tenant Leases shown on Exhibit F or entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with this Agreement applicable to such Individual Property, (iv) any taxes and assessments for the year of Closing not yet delinquent as of the Closing, (v) any liens or claims of liens for work, service, labor or materials performed or supplied by, for or on behalf of any Tenant, and required to be cured by Tenant pursuant to the terms the Tenant Leases, (vi) all matters shown on the Surveys, or any updates thereto, (vii) matters which have been removed or affirmatively insured over (such affirmative insurance to be reasonably approved by Purchaser), and (viii) any exceptions arising from Purchaser’s actions (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”). In the event Purchaser elects not to pay for any additional premium for the ALTA extended coverage policy, then the Title Policies to be issued as of the Closing shall be standard ALTA Owner’s Policies of Title Insurance which shall include, among other things, a general survey exception. It is understood that Purchaser may request a number of endorsements to the Title Policies, but the issuance of any such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing.

Section 7.2    Tenant Lease Estoppels.

(a)    Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Sellers shall prepare and deliver to all Tenants under the Tenant Leases an estoppel certificate in substantially the same form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2. It will be a condition to Closing that the Sellers collectively obtain and deliver to Purchaser, from (i) each of the major tenants leasing space in the Improvements listed on Exhibit C-1 (“Major Tenants”), and (ii) from such other Tenants leasing space in the Improvements, which when added to all Major Tenants aggregates at least seventy percent (70%) of the rentable square footage leased at each Individual Property, executed Acceptable Estoppel Certificates. “Acceptable Estoppel Certificates” are estoppel certificates in substantially the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, which shall not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with respect to the Rent Roll, the Tenant Leases, and the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained herein, and which shall not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the landlord or Tenant not disclosed in writing to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date; provided that an estoppel certificate executed by a Tenant in the form prescribed by its Tenant Lease, shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the factual information contained in the estoppels distributed to such Tenants pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2. In addition, an estoppel certificate shall continue to be an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate notwithstanding the deletion of items 12 and/or 15 therefrom. For the avoidance of doubt, the “rentable square footage” of each Property, as used in the preceding sentence, shall not include any area subject to or covered by any billboard, rooftop, telecommunications, or antenna lease or license. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Seller’s failure to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.2 constitute a default by such Seller under this Agreement. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of the condition to obtain the required number of Acceptable Estoppel Certificates shall be to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(b)(i). Prior to delivery of the forms of estoppel certificates, each Seller will deliver to Purchaser completed forms of estoppel certificates, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 or such forms as required by the applicable Tenant Lease and containing the information contemplated thereby. Within three (3) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Sellers notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Sellers or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed forms of estoppel certificates accurate and complete. Sellers will make such changes to the extent Sellers agree such changes are appropriate, except that Sellers will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit C-2 or the form required by the applicable Tenant Lease. Purchaser’s failure to respond within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such estoppel certificate.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event Sellers fail to obtain an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate from any particular Tenant (other than a Major Tenant) under any Tenant Lease (after requesting the same), each Seller, at its sole option, may elect to satisfy part of the requirements under Section 7.2(a) by delivering a representation certificate of such Seller in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3 (a “Seller Certificate”) for such Tenant.

35

A Seller may deliver a Seller Certificate for up to ten percent (10%) of the rentable square footage leased at the Individual Property owned by such Seller, but not for any Major Tenant. If such Seller subsequently obtains an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate from a Tenant for which such Seller has delivered a Seller Certificate, the delivered Seller Certificate will be null and void, and Purchaser will accept such estoppel certificate in its place.

Section 7.3    Reserved.

Section 7.4    Declaration Estoppels.

(a)    Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver an estoppel certificate to the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center Property Owner’s Association under and with respect to that certain Agreement and Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center, dated March 17, 1993 and recorded on June 24, 1993, as Instrument No. 00-0000000 in the Official Records, in substantially the same form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit Y. It shall be a condition to Closing that the Sellers obtain and deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate from the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center Property Owner’s Association substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Y (the “Acceptable Association Estoppel”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Seller’s failure to obtain an Acceptable Association Estoppel constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of the condition to obtain an Acceptable Association Estoppel shall be to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(b)(i).

(b)    Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to obtain estoppel certificates (“REA and CCR Estoppels”) from the parties (other than Seller and other than any Authority) to the Declarations listed on Exhibit V attached hereto, provided that obtaining any REA and CCR Estoppels other than the Acceptable Association Estoppel shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to Close, and the failure to obtain any such REA and CCR Estoppels shall not be a default by Seller hereunder.

Section 7.5    5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor Estoppel. Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, the 5th and Xxxx Seller shall prepare and deliver to the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor an estoppel certificate in substantially the same form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit W. It will be a condition to the 5th and Xxxx Seller’s obligation to sell, and Purchaser’s obligation to purchase, the 5th and Xxxx Real Property, the leasehold interest in the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lease, and the 5th and Xxxx Improvements that the 5th and Xxxx Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser an estoppel certificate from the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit W (“5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor Estoppel”), subject to changes thereto reasonably approved by Purchaser, and which (a) does not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lease or the representations and warranties of the Sellers contained herein, (b) does not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the 5th and Xxxx Seller not previously disclosed to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date, and (c) includes the acknowledgement that the Purchaser satisfies the requirements of Section 9.1 of the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lease. In connection with seeking the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor Estoppel, Purchaser covenants and agrees to promptly

36

provide such information reasonably requested by the 5^th and Xxxx Ground Lessor (subject to regulatory and confidentiality restrictions applicable to Purchaser and consistent with information provided to other ground lessors by Affiliates of Purchaser). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the 5th and Xxxx Seller’s failure to obtain the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor Estoppel constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Instead, the sole and exclusive consequence of a failure of the condition to obtain the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor Estoppel shall be the termination of this Agreement as to the 5th and Xxxx Real Property, the leasehold interest in the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lease, and the 5th and Xxxx Improvements pursuant to Section 7.6(c).

With respect to the Laguna Campus Real Property and the Laguna Campus Improvements, only the portion thereof subject to such purchase rights shall be considered an Option Property.

(b)    With respect to the Option Properties, Sellers shall, within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date, provide to Purchaser a draft of each notice to be provided to the counterparty under the applicable Purchase Option, which notice shall (i) include a proposed purchase price (A) based on the Allocated Value with respect to the portion of the Laguna Campus Real Property and Laguna Campus Improvements, and the Daytona Campus Real Property and Daytona Campus Improvements and (B) of $96,500,000 for the 5th and Xxxx Real Property and 5th and Xxxx Improvements (the “5th and Xxxx Option Price”), and (ii) otherwise conform to the requirements of the applicable document which contains the Purchase Option, as reasonably approved by Purchaser (an “Approved Option Notice”). Within three (3) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Sellers notice either (i) approving such forms as completed by Sellers, or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such forms which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed option notices accurate and complete. Sellers will make such changes to the extent Sellers reasonably agree such changes are appropriate. Purchaser’s failure to respond within such three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such notice. Promptly following receipt of Purchaser’s approval, Sellers shall deliver the Approved Option Notice to the applicable counterparty of the Purchase Option. Should (i) any counterparty to a Purchase Option for an Option Property exercises its right to acquire the applicable Option Property relating to such Purchase Option or (ii) the 5^th and Xxxx Ground Seller fails to obtain the 5^th and Xxxx Ground Lessor Estoppel, the applicable Option Property (the “Excluded Option Property”) shall be excluded from the sale contemplated by this Agreement.

(c)    In the event an Option Property becomes an Excluded Option Property, the applicable Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of the same and the following shall apply:

37

(i)    Subject to Section 7.6(d), this Agreement will terminate with respect to such Excluded Option Property only and such Excluded Option Property shall not be considered an Individual Property (or portion thereof) under this Agreement for any purposes (other than with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations);

(ii)    The Purchase Price shall be reduced by (A) the Allocated Value of the Laguna Campus Real Property and Laguna Campus Improvements, or the Daytona Campus Real Property and Daytona Campus Improvements, to the extent they are an Excluded Option Property and (B) the 5^th and Xxxx Option Price to the extent the 5th and Xxxx Real Property and 5th and Xxxx Improvements is an Excluded Option Property; provided that if, after exercising the applicable Purchase Option, the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lessor fails to acquire the 5th and Xxxx Real Property and 5th and Xxxx Improvements in accordance with the terms of the 5th and Xxxx Ground Lease, and Purchaser does not exercise the Excluded Option Inclusion Event with respect to such property, the Purchase Price shall be reduced only by $93,000,000;

(iii)    If the Daytona Campus Real Property and Daytona Campus Improvements or the applicable portion of the Laguna Campus Real Property and Laguna Campus Improvements become an Excluded Option Property, the Daytona Campus Seller and the Laguna Campus Seller shall, prior to Closing and the sale of such Excluded Option Property, enter into new easements or other similar agreements, or amend existing easements or other similar agreements, affecting either Individual Property to (i) ensure that Purchaser shall have substantially the same rights of access and parking to each of the Individual Properties as at the Effective Date and (ii) address the parking rights of Tenants under applicable Tenant Leases, which new easements or similar agreements or amendments thereto shall be subject to Purchaser’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and

(iv)    Neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any liability hereunder with regard to such Excluded Option Property, except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. For purposes of clarification, if the portion of the Laguna Campus Real Property and Laguna Campus Improvements subject to a Purchase Option becomes an Excluded Option Property, the remainder of the Laguna Campus Real Property and Laguna Campus Improvements shall remain subject to this Agreement with the Purchase Price therefor to be equal to the amount set forth on Exhibit X.

(d)    If, after the date on which an Option Property becomes Excluded Option Property, but prior to the Outside Date, the applicable counterparty defaults on its obligation to purchase such Excluded Option Property, or such Excluded Option Property otherwise becomes available for sale by the applicable Seller, the applicable Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser and provide to Purchaser an update of the Exhibits to this Agreement relating to such Excluded Option Property. Within a period of five (5) Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice and updated Exhibits(the “Purchaser Option Date”), Purchaser shall have the right to elect to cause Seller to sell such Excluded Option Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by delivering written notice from Purchaser to the applicable Seller (an

38

“Excluded Option Inclusion Event”). If an Excluded Option Inclusion Event does not occur, then Purchaser shall have no obligation to buy, and the applicable Seller shall have no obligation to sell, the applicable Excluded Option Property. If an Excluded Option Inclusion Event occurs in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended as follows:

(i)    to include the relevant Excluded Option Property as an Individual Property, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including increasing the Purchase Price by the amount of the applicable reduction set forth in Section 7.6(c)(ii);

(ii)    to update the Exhibits to include such Excluded Option Property and any updates determined by Seller that are necessary to make such Exhibits accurate and which were delivered to Purchaser as provided above;

(iii)    in the event the Excluded Option Inclusion Event occurs on or before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Closing Date for such Excluded Option Property shall occur on the Closing, together with the remainder of the Property; and

(iv)    in the event the Excluded Option Inclusion Event occurs after the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, the Closing with respect to such Excluded Option Property shall occur thirty (30) days after the date of the Excluded Option Inclusion Event or such earlier date as elected by Purchaser (each such Closing Date, an “Excluded Option Property Closing Date”).

interruption, rental insurance or similar coverage intended to compensate such Seller for loss of rental or other income from the Property attributable to periods prior to the Closing) or condemnation, and (b) the parties will proceed to Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without abatement of the Purchase Price, except that Purchaser will receive a credit against cash due at Closing for the amount of the deductible on such insurance policy less any amounts expended by the applicable Seller to collect any such insurance proceeds or to make such repairs approved by Purchaser or otherwise made to remedy any unsafe conditions at the Property.

(b)    As of the Effective Date, for the purpose of adequately protecting Purchaser’s insurable interest in the Property, Purchaser and its designees shall be added as named insureds to Sellers’ existing property, terrorism and boiler and machinery policies with respect to the Property to cover property and business interruption losses resulting from a pre-Closing casualty or condemnation, in each case for the period from the Closing Date through the date of the final restoration and repair of such Property. On the Effective Date, a copy of the endorsement evidencing Purchaser’s and its designees’ status as named insureds has been provided to Purchaser.

Section 10.4    Prorations.

(a)    Sellers and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): all non-delinquent real estate, personal property and ad valorem taxes and assessments on the Property for the year in which Closing occurs as to the Washington Properties and on an accrual basis based on the applicable tax year, which is July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017, rather than on a calendar year basis for the California Properties, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (b) below) and operating expenses payable by the owners of the Property (on the basis of a 366 day year, actual days elapsed). Sellers will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time. Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Sellers and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) seven (7) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement, once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Sellers and delivered to the Title

51

Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below. The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Sellers (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Sellers) or by Sellers to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, including the final tax xxxx, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Sellers and Purchaser, subject to the Final Proration Date (as defined below) limitation. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries), and Sellers’ insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. Final readings and final xxxxxxxx for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries). Sellers will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers. A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Sellers on or before the end of the Survival Period (herein, the “Final Proration Date”). The provisions of this Section 10.4 (excluding subsection (e) which is governed by Section 3.2 above), will survive the Closing until the Final Proration Date, and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered prior to the Final Proration Date, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.

(b)    Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for (i) the Acceleration Fee (as defined in the Qanta Lease) payable by Qanta Tenant to the Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Center Seller under the Qanta Lease, and (ii) the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Sellers and attributable to any period following the Closing Time. After the Closing, Sellers will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Sellers after Closing and properly attributable to any period following the Closing Time. “Rentals” includes fixed monthly rentals, parking rentals and charges, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include such Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease) payable to Seller under the Tenant Leases or from other occupants or users of the Individual Property, excluding specific tenant xxxxxxxx which are governed by Section 10.4(d). Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time. Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated. For a period of sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Sellers by Tenants of the Property. Sellers shall have the right to pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing, provided that Sellers shall not exercise any such remedy for a period of sixty (60) days after Closing. With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received by Purchaser within the Survival Period, Purchaser shall pay to Sellers any rent or payment actually collected during the Survival Period properly

52

attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time. All sums collected by Purchaser during the Survival Period, from such Tenant (excluding Tenant payments explicitly identified by the Tenant as payment for a specific rental period, or payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time and tenant specific xxxxxxxx for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, all of which shall be payable to and belong to Sellers in all events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by such Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to such Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by Tenant to Sellers. Sellers shall be entitled to institute legal actions to pursue Delinquent Rental after a period of sixty (60) days after Closing, but in no event shall Sellers be permitted to institute eviction proceedings against any Tenant. Any sums collected by Purchaser and due to Sellers will be promptly remitted to Sellers, and any sums collected by Sellers and due to Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser. Sellers shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods after the Closing Date and all refundable cash Tenant Deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by Tenants under the Tenant Leases and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing) to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Sellers shall also use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer to Purchaser any Tenant Deposits that are held in the form of letters of credit (the “SD Letters of Credit”) if the same are transferable, at Sellers’ cost (including Sellers’ payment of any third party transfer fees and expenses); if any of the SD Letters of Credit is not transferable, Sellers shall request the Tenants obligated under such SD Letters of Credit to cause new letters of credit to be issued in favor of Purchaser in replacement thereof and in the event such a new letter of credit is not issued in favor of Purchaser by Closing, Purchaser and Sellers shall diligently pursue such replacement after Closing and Sellers shall take all reasonable action, as directed by Purchaser and at Seller’s expense, in connection with the presentment of such SD Letters of Credit for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable Tenant Lease, and in consideration of Sellers’ agreement as aforesaid, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless from any liability, damage, loss, cost or expense resulting from an alleged wrongful drawing upon any of the SD Letters of Credit after the Closing.

(c)    Sellers will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all xxxxxxxx and charges for operating expenses and taxes (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for calendar year 2016. Operating Expense Recoveries shall be determined in accordance with the Tenant Leases, including without limitation any Tenant Lease provisions that provide for the adjustment of Operating Expense Recoveries based on occupancy changes (i.e., “gross-up” provisions). In addition, to the extent that a Tenant Lease provides for base year amounts for operating expenses or taxes, such base year amounts shall be prorated in determining Operating Expense Recoveries with respect to such Tenant Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no proration of any such Operating Expense Recoveries that are delinquent as of Closing, and no expenses, billed reimbursements, collections or reconciliation credits or charges for years prior to calendar year 2016 shall be included in the calculation of Operating Expense Recoveries. If less amounts have been billed from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2016 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under such Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Sellers for calendar year 2016 up to the Closing Time (as prorated

53

pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Sellers at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price. If more amounts have been billed from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2016 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under the Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Sellers for calendar year 2016 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Sellers will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount. Purchaser and Sellers agree that such proration of Operating Expense Recoveries at Closing for calendar year 2016 will fully relieve Sellers from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters subject to Sellers’ and Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations prior to the Final Proration Date, solely to make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received after Closing for those items covered by such reconciliation at Closing or to correct any errors. In this regard, subject to Section 10.4(b) dealing with Delinquent Rentals, the foregoing proration will fully relieve Sellers from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters and Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2016 for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2016, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year. Sellers shall be responsible for reconciliation with Tenants of Operating Expense Recoveries and tenant reimbursements thereof for calendar year 2015 and any calendar year prior to calendar year 2016, and Sellers shall be responsible for audits or contests by Tenants relating to 2015 and such prior years. If any Tenant initiates any such audit or contest, Purchaser will promptly notify the applicable Seller thereof. If any such audit discloses that the amount of Sellers’ actual Operating Expense Recoveries by a Seller for 2015 or such prior years is less than the amount of Sellers’ Operating Expense Recoveries paid by such Seller for such period (or less than the amount that such Seller is entitled to recover under the terms of the Tenant Leases), then such Seller shall be entitled to xxxx such Tenants directly and retain any such amounts due from Tenants. If any such audit discloses that the amount of Sellers’ actual Operating Expense Recoveries collected by a Seller for 2015 or such prior calendar year exceeds the amount of Sellers’ Operating Expense Recoveries paid by such Seller with respect to such period (or the amount that such Seller is entitled to recover under the terms of the Tenant Leases), then, to the extent required under the terms of the Tenant Leases, such Seller shall remit such excess amounts to the applicable Tenants within the time periods required pursuant to the Tenant Leases. In connection with the foregoing, Sellers shall be permitted to make and retain copies of all Tenant Leases and all xxxxxxxx concerning tenant reimbursements for 2015 and such prior years, and Purchaser covenants and agrees to provide Sellers with reasonable access to the books and records pertaining to such tenant reimbursements, and to otherwise cooperate with Sellers (at no material out-of-pocket cost to Purchaser) for the purpose of enabling Sellers to adequately respond to any claim by Tenants for reimbursement of Tenant reimbursements previously paid by such Tenants.

(d)    With respect to specific tenant xxxxxxxx for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser or Sellers after the Closing Time but expressly state they are for such specific services rendered by Sellers or their property manager prior to the Closing Time, Purchaser shall cause

54

such collected amounts to be paid to Sellers, or Sellers may retain such payment if such payment is received by Sellers after the Closing Time.

(e)    Sellers shall be responsible for the payment of any real estate and personal property taxes that are delinquent before Closing, which obligation shall survive the Closing. In no event shall Sellers be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property contemplated by this Agreement, any change in use of the Property on or after the Closing Date, or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any assessments on the Property are payable in installments, then the installment allocable to the current period shall be prorated (with Purchaser being allocated the obligation to pay any installments due after the Closing Date).

(f)    (i) Sellers shall pay all Leasing Costs incurred in connection with any Tenant Lease of space in the Property, or any amendment or supplement thereto, entered into prior to the Letter of Intent Date, including, without limitation, those Leasing Costs identified on Exhibit G-1 attached hereto to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date (“Seller Leasing Costs”), excluding the Leasing Costs described in Exhibit G-2 attached hereto; (ii) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs (“New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new Tenant Lease, or the renewal, expansion, or modification of any Tenant Lease executed on or after the Effective Date (the material terms of which have been approved by Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.1(d)) plus the Leasing Costs identified on Exhibit G-2 (“Purchaser Leasing Costs”); (iii) to the extent Seller Leasing Costs described in clause (i) above remain unpaid as of Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit from Sellers therefor at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible after Closing for paying any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser received such a credit; (iv) to the extent Purchaser Leasing Costs described in clause (ii) above have been paid by Sellers, Sellers shall receive a credit from Purchaser therefor at Closing; and (v) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all New Tenant Costs and all other Leasing Costs (whether arising before or after Closing).

(g)    Tax Protest.

(i)    If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to any fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs are pending at the time of the Closing, Sellers reserve and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same. If any tax reduction proceedings in respect of the Property, relating to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing, then Sellers reserve and shall have the right to continue to prosecute and/or settle the same; provided, however, that Sellers shall not settle any such proceeding without Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction proceedings.

(ii)    Any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction proceedings applicable to taxes payable during the period prior to the date of the Closing shall belong to and be the property of the applicable Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment of taxes applicable to taxes payable from and after the date of the

55

Closing shall belong to and be the property of Purchaser; provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse any Tenants under Tenant Leases for any rents paid or to be paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in the Tenant Lease to such Tenant) shall, at Sellers’ election, either (a) be paid to Purchaser and Purchaser shall disburse the same to such tenants or (b) be paid by the applicable Seller directly to the Tenants entitled thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between Sellers and Purchaser in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds or savings payable to the applicable Seller and Purchaser, respectively (without regard to any amounts reimbursable to Tenants); provided, however, that neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall have any liability for any such fees or expenses in excess of the refund or savings paid to such party unless such party initiated such proceeding.

(h)    Vapor Remediation Work. If the Vapor Remediation Work required to be performed by Sellers pursuant to Section 7.1(l)(ii) has not been completed by the Closing Date, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the remaining costs required to complete the Vapor Mitigation Work as reasonably estimated by Purchaser’s environmental engineer, or (ii) the portion of the $500,000 limit set forth in Section 7.1(l)(ii) remaining unspent by Sellers.

Section 10.5    Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Sellers will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject to the Tenant Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.

Section 10.6    Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:

61

Representatives of Company or any of its subsidiaries not to, directly or indirectly, (i) solicit, initiate, knowingly encourage or knowingly facilitate any inquiry, proposal or offer that constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, an Acquisition Proposal (an “Inquiry”), (ii) enter into, continue or otherwise participate or engage in any negotiations or discussions regarding, or furnish to any person other than Purchaser or its Representatives any non-public information or data in furtherance of, any Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry, (iii) approve, recommend, declare advisable or enter into any letter of intent, memorandum of understanding, agreement in principle, acquisition agreement, merger agreement, share exchange agreement, consolidation agreement, option agreement, joint venture agreement, partnership agreement or other agreement, in each case related to an Acquisition Proposal (other than a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement), or requiring or having the effect of requiring Company to abandon, terminate or breach its obligations hereunder or fail to consummate the West Coast Asset Sale (each item referred to in this clause (iii), a “Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement”), or (iv) agree to or propose publicly to do any of the foregoing. Company shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries to, and shall direct the Representatives of Company and its subsidiaries to, (A) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions and negotiations with any person and its Representatives (other than Purchaser or any of its Representatives) conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal, and (B) not terminate, amend, release or modify any provision of any standstill agreement (including any standstill provisions contained in any confidentiality or other agreement) to which it or any of its Affiliates or Representatives is a party except to allow the applicable party to make an Acquisition Proposal to the Company Board on a non-public basis.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but subject to Company’s compliance with this Section 13.2, if, at any time following the date of this Agreement and prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, (i) Company receives an unsolicited written Acquisition Proposal that the Company Board believes in good faith to be bona fide, (ii) such Acquisition Proposal was not the result of a violation of Section 13.2(a), and (iii) the Company Board determines in good faith (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal, then Company may (and may authorize its Representatives to) (x) furnish non-public information with respect to Company and its subsidiaries to the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and its Representatives) pursuant to a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement; provided, that any non-public information provided to any person given such access shall have previously been provided to Purchaser or shall be provided to Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable (and in any event within 48 hours of the time it is provided to such person), and (y) participate in negotiations with the person making such Acquisition Proposal (and such person’s Representatives) regarding such Acquisition Proposal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Company and its Representatives may correspond in writing with any person submitting an Acquisition Proposal (that was not the result of a violation of Section 13.2(a)) to request clarification of the terms of an Acquisition Proposal so as to determine whether

62

such Acquisition Proposal constitutes, or could reasonably be expected to lead to, a Superior Proposal.

(c)    Except as provided in Section 13.2(d), the Company Board (i)(A) shall not fail to make and shall not withdraw (or modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Purchaser or publicly propose to withdraw, modify or qualify in any manner adverse to Purchaser) the Company Board Recommendation, (B) shall not adopt, approve, recommend, endorse or otherwise declare advisable any Acquisition Proposal (or publicly propose or resolve to do any of the foregoing) and (C) shall not fail to include the Company Board Recommendation in the Proxy Statement (each such action set forth in this Section 13.2(c)(i) being referred to herein as a “Company Adverse Recommendation Change”), and (ii) shall not authorize, cause or permit Company or any of its subsidiaries to enter into any Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement relating to any Acquisition Proposal (other than a Company Acceptable Confidentiality Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a)).

(d)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, at any time prior to obtaining the Company Stockholder Approval, the Company Board may (i) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change in response to an Intervening Event if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with its outside legal counsel, that the failure to do so in response to such Intervening Event would be inconsistent with its duties under applicable law or (ii) make a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(d)(ii) and concurrently enter into a Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement if the Company Board has received an unsolicited written bona fide Acquisition Proposal (and Company is not in breach of this Section 13.2) that, in the good faith determination of the Company Board, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, constitutes a Superior Proposal; provided, that the Company Board shall only be entitled to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change, terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1(d)(ii) and enter into a Company Alternative Acquisition Agreement as permitted under this Section 13.2(d) if (A) Company has provided a prior written notice (a “Notice of Change of Recommendation”) to Purchaser that Company intends to take such action, identifying the person or entity making the Superior Proposal and describing in reasonable detail the material terms and conditions of the Superior Proposal or Intervening Event, as applicable, that is the basis of such action including, if applicable, copies of any written proposals or offers and any proposed agreements related to a Superior Proposal (it being agreed that the delivery of the Notice of Change of Recommendation by Company shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change), (B) during the three (3) Business Day period following Purchaser’s receipt of the Notice of Change of Recommendation, Company shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, negotiate with Purchaser in good faith (to the extent Purchaser desires to negotiate) to make such adjustments in the terms and conditions of this Agreement, so that, in the case of a Superior Proposal, such Superior Proposal ceases to constitute a Superior Proposal, or, in the case of an Intervening Event, in order to obviate the need to make such Company Adverse Recommendation Change; and (C) following the end of such three (3) Business Day period, the Company Board shall have determined in good faith, taking into account any changes to this Agreement proposed in writing by Purchaser in response to the Notice of Change of Recommendation or otherwise, that (I) after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, the Superior Proposal giving rise to the Notice of Change

63

of Recommendation continues to constitute a Superior Proposal or (II) after consultation with outside counsel, in the case of an Intervening Event, the failure of the Company Board to effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change would be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable law. Any amendment to the financial terms or any other material amendment of such a Superior Proposal shall require a new Notice of Change of Recommendation, and Company shall be required to comply again with the requirements of this Section 13.2(d); provided, however, that references to the three (3) Business Day period above shall then be deemed to be references to a two (2) Business Day period following receipt by Purchaser of any such new Notice of Change of Recommendation.

(e)    Company shall promptly (but in no event later than 48 hours) notify Purchaser after receipt of any Acquisition Proposal or any request for non-public information relating to Company or any of its subsidiaries by any third party that informs Company that it is making, or has made, an Acquisition Proposal, or any Inquiry from any person seeking to have discussions or negotiations with Company relating to a possible Acquisition Proposal. Such notice shall be made orally and confirmed in writing, and shall identify the person making such Acquisition Proposal or Inquiry and shall indicate the material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposals or Inquiries to the extent known (including, if applicable, providing copies of any written Inquiries or requests and any proposed agreements related thereto, which may be redacted to the extent necessary to protect confidential information of the business or operations of the person making such Acquisition Proposals or Inquiries). Company shall also promptly (and in any event within 48 hours), notify Purchaser, orally and in writing, (i) if Company determines to begin providing non-public information or to engage in discussions or negotiations concerning an Acquisition Proposal pursuant to Section 13.2(b) and shall in no event begin providing such information or engaging in such discussions or negotiations prior to providing such notice and (ii) of any change to the financial and other material terms and conditions of any Acquisition Proposal and otherwise keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the status and terms of any such proposals, offers, discussions or negotiations on a current basis, including by providing a copy of all proposals, offers, drafts of proposed agreements or correspondence relating thereto. Neither Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall, after the date of this Agreement, enter into any confidentiality or similar agreement that would prohibit it from providing such information to Purchaser.

(f)    Nothing contained in this Section 13.2 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall prohibit Company or the Company Board, directly or indirectly through its Representatives, from (i) disclosing to Company’s stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14e-2(a) or Rule 14d-9 promulgated under the Exchange Act or (ii) making any disclosure to the stockholders of Company if the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to make such disclosure would be inconsistent with the directors’ duties under applicable law (for the avoidance of doubt, it being agreed that the issuance by Company or the Company Board of a “stop, look and listen” statement pending disclosure of its position, as contemplated by Rules 14d-9 and 14e-2(a) promulgated under the Exchange Act, shall not constitute a Company Adverse Recommendation Change) or is required by applicable law; provided that neither Company nor the Company Board shall be permitted to recommend that the stockholders of Company tender any securities in connection with any tender offer or exchange offer that is an

64

Acquisition Proposal or effect a Company Adverse Recommendation Change with respect thereto, except as permitted by Section 13.2(d).

70

14.1(b)(iii) or (z) Purchaser pursuant to Section 14.1(c)(i), and after the date hereof, an Acquisition Proposal shall have been received by Company, Sellers or their respective Representatives or any person shall have publicly proposed, announced, disclosed or otherwise communicated to Company’s stockholders or any person shall have publicly announced an intention (whether or not conditional) to make any Acquisition Proposal (and, in the case of a termination pursuant to Section 14.1(b)(iii), such Acquisition Proposal or any publicly proposed or announced intention shall have been made prior to the Company Stockholder Meeting), and (B) within twelve (12) months after the date of a termination referred to in this Section 14.3(b)(i), Company and/or Sellers enters into a definitive agreement relating to, or consummates, any Acquisition Proposal (whether or not the same Acquisition Proposal as referred to above); provided that for purposes of this Section 14.3(b)(i), all references in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “any Real Property” are replaced with “the Majority Properties”, and all references to “15%” are replaced with “50%”;

(ii)    this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to Section 14.1(c)(ii); or

(iii)    this Agreement is terminated by Company or Sellers pursuant to Section 14.1(d)(ii);

then, in any such event, Company shall pay at the direction of Purchaser a termination fee of $25,000,000 (which shall be net of any amount paid to Purchaser pursuant to Section 14.3(d)) (the “Company Termination Fee”) and it being understood that in no event shall Company be required to pay the Company Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Payment of the Company Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to the account or accounts designated by Purchaser (x) within two (2) Business Days after the earlier of the time of (A) entry into a definitive agreement in respect of an Acquisition Proposal and (B) the consummation of an Acquisition Proposal, in the case of a Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 14.3(b)(i), (y) as promptly as reasonably practicable after termination (and, in any event, within two (2) Business Days thereof), in the case of a Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 14.3(b)(ii), and (z) prior to or concurrently with such termination, in the case of a Company Termination Fee payable pursuant to Section 14.3(b)(iii). Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Purchaser receives the full payment of the Company Termination Fee under circumstances where the Company Termination Fee was payable, the receipt by Purchaser of the Company Termination Fee shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy as liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages of any nature against Company, Sellers and each of their respective former, current and future directors, officers, employees, agents, general and limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, Affiliates and assignees and each former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing in respect of this Agreement (each, a “Company Party”), any agreement executed in connection herewith, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the termination of this Agreement, the failure of the West

71

Coast Asset Sale to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder (whether intentionally, unintentionally, or otherwise), and upon payment of such Company Termination Fee none of the foregoing individuals or entities shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

(c)    In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Sellers pursuant to Section 14.1(d)(i) then,

(i)    in such event, Purchaser shall pay to Company a termination fee of $75,000,000 (the “Purchaser Termination Fee”) it being understood that in no event shall Purchaser be required to pay the Purchaser Termination Fee on more than one occasion. Payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee shall be made by wire transfer of same day funds to the account or accounts designated by Company at the time of termination. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if Company receives the full payment of the Purchaser Termination Fee, the receipt by Company of the Purchaser Termination Fee shall be Company’s sole and exclusive remedy as liquidated damages for any and all losses or damages of any nature against Purchaser, Guarantor and their former, current and future directors, officers, employees, agents, general and limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, Affiliates and assignees and each former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, Affiliate or assignee of any of the foregoing in respect of this Agreement, any agreement executed in connection herewith, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including for any loss or damage suffered as a result of the termination of this Agreement, the failure of the West Coast Asset Sale to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder, and upon payment of such Purchaser Termination Fee none of the foregoing individuals or entities shall have any further liability or obligation relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Nothing herein shall limit Company’s right to directly enforce the Guarantee against the Guarantor under the terms thereof.

(ii)    In the event that Purchaser is obligated to pay to the Company the Purchaser Termination Fee pursuant to Section 14.3(c)(i) (the “Section 14.3(c) Amount”), Purchaser (“Payor”) shall pay to the Company (“Payee”) from the applicable Section 14.3(c) Amount deposited into escrow, if any, in accordance with the next sentence, an amount equal to the lesser of (A) the Section 14.3(c) Amount and (B) the sum of (1) the maximum amount that can be paid to the Company without causing the Company to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute income described in Sections 856(c)(2) or 856(c)(3) of the Code (“Qualifying Income”), as determined by the Company’s independent certified public accountants and by taking into account all other income of the Company that does not constitute Qualifying Income, plus (2) in the event the Company receives either (X) a letter from the Company’s counsel indicating that the Company has received a ruling from the IRS described in Section 14.3(c)(iii) or (Y) an opinion from the Company’s outside counsel as described in Section 14.3(c)(iii), an amount equal to the Section 14.3(c) Amount less the

72

amount payable under clause (1) above. To secure the Payor’s obligation to pay these amounts, the Payor shall deposit into escrow an amount in cash equal to the Section 14.3(c) Amount with an escrow agent selected by the Company and on such terms (subject to Section 14.3(c)(iii)) as shall be mutually agreed upon by the Company, Purchaser and the escrow agent. The payment or deposit into escrow of the Section 14.3(c) Amount pursuant to this Section 14.3(c)(ii) shall be made at the time the Payor is obligated to pay the Payee such amount pursuant to Section 14.3(c)(i) by wire transfer or bank check.

(iii)    The escrow agreement shall provide that the Section 14.3(c) Amount in escrow or any portion thereof shall not be released to the Company unless the escrow agent receives any one or combination of the following: (i) a letter from the Payee’s independent certified public accountants indicating the maximum amount that can be paid by the escrow agent to the Payee without causing the Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code in such year determined as if the payment of such amount did not constitute Qualifying Income or a subsequent letter from the Payee’s accountants revising that amount, in which case the escrow agent shall release such amount to the Payee, or (ii) a letter from the Payee’s counsel indicating that the Payee received a ruling from the IRS holding that the receipt by the Payee of the Section 14.3(c) Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code (or alternatively, the Payee’s outside counsel has rendered a legal opinion to the effect that the receipt by the Payee of the Section 14.3(c) Amount would either constitute Qualifying Income or would be excluded from gross income within the meaning of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code), in which case the escrow agent shall release the remainder of the Section 14.3(c) Amount to the Payee. The Payor agrees to amend this Section 14.3(c) at the reasonable request of the Company in order to (x) maximize the portion of the Section 14.3(c) Amount that may be distributed to the Payee hereunder without causing the Payee to fail to meet the requirements of Sections 856(c)(2) and (3) of the Code, (y) improve the Payee’s chances of securing a favorable ruling described in this Section 14.3(c)(iii) or (z) assist the Payee in obtaining a favorable legal opinion from its outside counsel as described in this Section 14.3(c)(iii). Any portion of the Section 14.3(c) Amount that remains unpaid as of the end of a taxable year shall be paid as soon as possible during the following taxable year, subject to the foregoing limitations of this Section 14.3(c). The escrow agreement shall also provide that any portion of the Section 14.3(c) Amount held in escrow for five years shall be released by the escrow agent to the Payor. The Payor shall not be a party to such escrow agreement and shall not bear any cost of or have liability resulting from the escrow agreement. The Payor shall be deemed to have satisfied its obligations pursuant to this Section 14.3(c) so long as it deposits into escrow the Section 14.3(c) Amount, notwithstanding any delay or reduction in payment to the Company, and shall have no further liability with respect to payment of the Section 14.3(c) Amount. Payee shall fully indemnify Payor and hold Payor harmless from and against any liabilities, losses, damages, claims, costs, expenses, interest, awards, judgments and penalties suffered or incurred by it resulting directly or indirectly from the escrow agreement.

(d)    In the event that the Company Stockholder Approval shall not have been obtained at the Company Stockholder Meeting at which a vote on such approval was taken and

73

this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 14.1(b)(iii), Company shall pay, at the direction of Purchaser, by wire transfer of same day funds, within two (2) Business Days after such termination, an aggregate amount equal to $5,000,000, which is intended to reimburse Purchaser for the fees and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with this Agreement.

(e)    Except as provided in this Article XIV, no termination fee, penalty, charge or damage is payable in connection with a termination of this Agreement.

(f)    Each of Company, Sellers and Purchaser acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 14.3 are an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and that, without these agreements, the other party would not enter into this Agreement. In the event Company, any Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, is required to commence litigation to seek all or a portion of the amounts payable to it under this Section 14.3, and it prevails in such litigation, it shall be entitled to receive, in addition to all amounts that it is otherwise entitled to receive under this Section 14.3, all reasonable expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which it has incurred in enforcing its rights hereunder.

(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of Purchaser for any losses, damages, costs or expenses of Company or Sellers or their Affiliates relating to the failure of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be consummated, or a breach of this Agreement by Purchaser or otherwise, shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount of the Purchaser Termination Fee and any expenses of Company or Sellers to which they are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 14.3(f) (the “Liability Limitation”), and in no event shall Company, any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates seek any amount in excess of the Liability Limitation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or in equity, in contract, tort or otherwise. Each of Company and the Sellers agrees that it has no right of recovery against, and no personal liability shall attach to, any of the Parent Parties (other than Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement and Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P. to the extent provided in the Confidentiality Agreement), through Purchaser or otherwise, whether by or through attempted piercing of the corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company veil, by or through a claim by or on behalf of Purchaser against any Parent Party, by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by virtue of any applicable law, whether in contract, tort or otherwise, except for its rights to recover from the Guarantor (but not any other Parent Party) under and to the extent provided in the Guarantee and subject to the Liability Limitation and the other limitations described therein. Recourse against the Guarantor under the Guarantee shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Company, the Sellers and their respective affiliates against the Guarantor and any other Parent Party (other than Purchaser to the extent provided in this Agreement and Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P. to the extent provided in the Confidentiality Agreement) in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or in respect of any other document or theory of law or equity or in respect of any oral representations made or alleged to be made in connection herewith or therewith, whether at law or in equity, in contract, in tort or otherwise. Without limiting the rights of Company and Sellers against Purchaser hereunder and Blackstone

74

Real Estate Advisors L.P. under the Confidentiality Agreement, in no event shall Company, any Seller or any of their respective Affiliates seek to enforce this Agreement against, make any claims for breach of this Agreement against, or seek to recover damages from, any Parent Party (other than the Guarantor to the extent provided in the Guarantee and subject to the Liability Limitation and the other limitations described therein). For purposes hereof, “Parent Parties” means, collectively, Purchaser, the Guarantor or any of their respective former, current or future directors, officers, employees, agents, general or limited partners, managers, members, stockholders, Affiliates, successors or assignees or any former, current or future director, officer, employee, agent, general or limited partner, manager, member, stockholder, Affiliate, successor or assignee of any of the foregoing.

ARTICLE XV
REMEDIES

Section 15.1    Purchaser’s Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable harm, for which monetary damages (even if available) would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that Company or the Sellers do not perform any of the provisions of this Agreement (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the West Coast Asset Sale and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement) in accordance with this Agreement’s specified terms or otherwise breaches such provisions. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge and agree that if the Closing of the West Coast Asset Sale provided for herein does not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of the Sellers or Company, and Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Article XIV, Purchaser may, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy, elect to specifically enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or obtain other equitable relief, so long as any action or proceeding commenced by Purchaser against Sellers or Company shall be filed and served within sixty (60) days of the date of the default by Sellers or Company, and, in such event, Purchaser hereby waives all other remedies, including without limitation, any claim against Sellers or Company for damages of any type or kind including, without limitation, consequential, special, speculative, or punitive damages; provided that unless otherwise expressly required pursuant to this Agreement, in no event shall Company or Sellers be obligated to undertake any of the following (i) change the condition of the Property or restore the same after any fire or casualty; or (ii) expend any money to repair, improve or alter the Improvements or any portion thereof. Each of Company and the Sellers agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief on the basis that Purchaser has an adequate remedy at law or that any award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or in equity. Purchaser shall not be required to provide any bond or other security in connection with the request for or grant of any such order or injunction. Each of Company and the Sellers agree not to assert that a remedy of specific performance is unenforceable, invalid, contrary to law or inequitable for any reason, nor to assert that a remedy of monetary damages would provide an adequate remedy.

Section 15.2    LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (A) THE COMPANY TERMINATION FEE AND THE PURCHASER TERMINATION FEE ARE INTENDED TO BE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND (B) THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY

Section 15.4    No Sellers’ Specific Performance. The parties agree that neither Company nor any of the Sellers shall be entitled to an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent and/or remedy a breach of this Agreement by Purchaser or to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof; provided, that Company shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of Section 12.1.

ASSIGNMENT AND BINDING EFFECT

Section 17.1    Assignment; Binding Effect. Purchaser will not have the right to assign this Agreement without Sellers’ prior written consent, to be given or withheld in Sellers’ sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser may assign its rights under this Agreement to an Affiliate of Purchaser without the consent of Sellers, provided that any such assignment does not relieve Purchaser of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Sellers and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof. Whenever a reference is made in this Agreement to Sellers or Purchaser, such reference will include the successors and permitted assigns of such party under this Agreement.

ARTICLE XVIII
LIMITATIONS ON SURVIVAL AND LIABILITY

Section 18.1    Survival of Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)    The Closing Surviving Obligations and Sellers’ and Purchaser’s liability therefor (including liability for breaches of representations and warranties set forth herein), will survive Closing until the end of the Survival Period. All other representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made or undertaken by Company or Sellers under this Agreement will not survive the Closing Date but will be merged into the Closing Documents delivered at the Closing. The Termination Surviving Obligations shall survive termination of this Agreement without limitation unless a specified period is otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller and Company shall have no liability with respect to any Closing Surviving Obligation unless (y) Purchaser has delivered written notice of a breach of, or failure to perform, such Closing Surviving Obligation within the Survival Period and, if not resolved between Purchaser, Company and Sellers, filed suit within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Survival Period, and (z) the aggregate amount of all liability and losses arising out of all breaches and/or failures to perform exceeds $500,000 (the “Liability Floor”) and, in such event, Sellers shall be responsible for all such amounts from the first dollar without regard to the Liability Floor. In addition, in no event will Company’s or Sellers’ liability for all such breaches and/or failures to perform exceed, in the aggregate, two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price (the “Liability Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers’ obligations under Section 10.4 with respect to prorations and adjustments and Sellers’ representation and warranty under Section 8.1(n) with respect to brokers shall not be subject to the Liability Floor or Liability Cap.

(c)    Sellers and Company shall have no liability with respect to any of Company’s or Sellers’ representations, warranties and covenants herein if, (i) the loss, damage, cost or expense resulting therefrom constitutes a West Coast Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) Purchaser nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, if Purchaser is aware of a breach of any of Sellers’ representations, warranties or covenants and such breach would not otherwise give Purchaser the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 10.8(a), Section 10.8(e) or 14.1(c)(i), then Sellers shall have liability for the loss, damage, cost or expense resulting therefrom (subject to the Liability Floor and Liability Cap).

(d)    Sellers and Purchaser agree that any payments made under this Section 18 shall be treated as adjustments to the Purchase Price for all tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable law.

(e)    Seller shall provide not less than five (5) Business Day’s written notice to Purchaser of the scheduled Liquidation Date.

78

(f)    For the avoidance of doubt, Company and Sellers shall have no liability or obligation to indemnify Purchaser or any of its Affiliates for any loss, damage, cost or expense to the extent arising out of or resulting from Transaction Litigation.

ARTICLE XIX
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 19.1    Waivers; Amendments. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provisions contained herein will be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision contained herein. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act will be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act. This Agreement may not be amended except in a writing signed by both Sellers and Purchaser.

Section 19.2    Recovery of Certain Fees. In the event a party hereto files any action or suit against another party hereto by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions contained in this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party will be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all attorneys’ fees and costs resulting therefrom, subject, however, in the case of Sellers, to the limitations set forth in Section 18.1 above. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “attorneys’ fees” or “attorneys’ fees and costs” shall mean all court costs and the fees and expenses of counsel to the parties hereto, which may include printing, photostatting, duplicating and other expenses, air freight charges, and fees billed for law clerks, paralegals and other persons not admitted to the bar but performing services under the supervision of an attorney, and the costs and fees incurred in connection with the enforcement or collection of any judgment obtained in any such proceeding. The provisions of this Section 19.2 shall survive the entry of any judgment, and shall not merge, or be deemed to have merged, into any judgment.

Section 19.3    Time of Essence. Sellers and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof.

Section 19.4    Construction. Headings at the beginning of each article and section are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular will include the plural and the masculine will include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement will not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference, and any capitalized term used in any exhibit or schedule which is not defined in such exhibit or schedule will have the meaning attributable to such term in the body of this Agreement. In the event the date on which Purchaser or Sellers are required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action will be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.

Section 19.5    Counterparts; Electronic Signatures Binding. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include an original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file) signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement, will constitute a complete and fully executed agreement. All such fully executed original, faxed or electronic mail (in .PDF or similar file)

79

counterparts will collectively constitute a single agreement, and such signatures shall be legally binding upon the party sending the signature by such electronic means immediately upon being sent by such party.

Section 19.6    Severability.
