REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBERS
Each Subscriber, severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Corporation as set forth below in this Article 3, which representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof and will (except to the extent expressly relating to a specified date) be true and correct as of the Closing Date (provided, that any Subscriber that is a natural person makes the below representations and warranties only to the extent applicable to an individual and not an entity):
Section 3.1 Organization; Authority; Enforceability. Such Subscriber has been duly formed, and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation. Such Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all other agreements and instruments to be executed by the Subscriber in connection herewith. All of such actions have been duly authorized and approved by all persons or entities authorized to take such required action. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms except as such enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws and subject to general principles of equity.
Section 3.2 Consents and Approvals. Except as shall have been satisfied prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver, approval or authorization of any third party or governmental authority or agency is required to be obtained by such Subscriber in connection with the execution,
3
delivery and performance of the Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals or authorizations, the failure of which to obtain would not have a material adverse effect on the business, financial condition or results of operations (a “Material Adverse Effect”) of such Subscriber.
Section 3.3 No Violation. None of the execution, delivery or performance of the Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right adverse to the Corporation of (A) the organizational documents, including the operating agreement, if any, of such Subscriber, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which such Subscriber is a party or by which such Subscriber is bound, or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree, or require any approval, consent or waiver of, or make any filing with, any person or governmental or regulatory authority or foreign, federal, state, local or other law binding on such Subscriber or by which such Subscriber or its assets are bound or subject; provided in the case of (B) and (C) above, unless any such violation, conflict, breach, default or right would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 3.4 Investment Purposes. Such Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the offering and issuance of Common Stock to be acquired by it pursuant to this Agreement are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act and that the Corporation’s reliance on such exemption is predicated in part on the accuracy and completeness of the representations and warranties of such Subscriber contained herein. In furtherance thereof, such Subscriber, severally, and not jointly or jointly and severally, represents and warrants to the Corporation as follows:
Section 3.4.1 Investment. Such Subscriber is acquiring Common Stock hereunder solely for its own account and not with a view to, or for offer or sale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Such Subscriber agrees and acknowledges that it will not, directly or indirectly, offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of (hereinafter, “Transfer”) any of the Common Stock acquired hereunder, unless (i) the Transfer is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and qualification or other compliance under applicable blue sky or state securities laws, or (ii) counsel for such Subscriber (which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Corporation) shall have furnished the Corporation with an opinion, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Corporation, to the effect that no such registration is required because of the availability of an exemption from registration under the Securities Act.
Section 3.4.2 Knowledge. Such Subscriber is an “accredited investor” (as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D). Such Subscriber is knowledgeable, sophisticated and experienced in business and financial matters and fully understands the limitations on transfer imposed by the Federal securities laws and as described in the Agreement. Such Subscriber is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Common Stock for an indefinite period and is able to afford the complete loss of its investment in the Common Stock; such Subscriber has received and reviewed all information and documents about or pertaining to the Corporation, the business and prospects of the Corporation and the issuance of the Common Stock, as such Subscriber deems necessary or desirable, and has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents and to ask
4
questions and receive answers about such information and documents, the Corporation, the business and prospects of the Corporation and the Common Stock, which such Subscriber deems necessary or desirable to evaluate the merits and risks related to its investment in the Common Stock. Such Subscriber has discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors (to the extent such Subscriber deems necessary or advisable) the suitability of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement with respect to such Subscriber’s particular tax and financial situation, and such Subscriber has not relied on the Corporation or any of its officers, directors, affiliates or professional advisors for such advice as to such consequences.
Section 3.4.3 Holding Period. Such Subscriber acknowledges that it has been advised that (i) the Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement are “restricted securities” (unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws) under applicable federal securities laws and may be disposed of only pursuant to an effective registration statement or an exemption therefrom and such Subscriber understands that the Corporation has no obligation to register such Subscriber’s Shares; accordingly, such Subscriber may have to bear indefinitely the economic risks of an investment in such Common Stock, (ii) a restrictive legend in the form hereafter set forth shall be placed on certificates, if any, representing the Shares, and (iii) a notation shall be made in the appropriate records of the Corporation indicating that the Shares issued hereunder are subject to restrictions on transfer.
Section 3.4.4 Legend. Each certificate, if any, representing the Shares issued pursuant to this Agreement, unless registered in accordance with applicable U.S. securities laws, shall bear the following legend (in addition to any other legend required by the charter of the Corporation or any applicable state securities laws):
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND HAVE BEEN ISSUED IN RELIANCE UPON EXEMPTIONS AFFORDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAWS. THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE MAY NOT BE OFFERED, SOLD, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION (AS TO WHICH THE ISSUER SHALL BE REASONABLY SATISFIED, INCLUDING RECEIPT OF AN ACCEPTABLE LEGAL OPINION) FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SUCH LAWS.”
Section 3.5 No Brokers. Neither such Subscriber nor any of its officers, directors or employees, to the extent applicable, has employed or made any agreement with any broker, finder or similar agent or any person or firm which will result in the obligation of the Corporation or any of its affiliates to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage fees or commissions or similar payment in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
5
Section 3.6 No Litigation. There are no suits, actions or proceedings against such Subscriber pending or, to the knowledge of such Subscriber, threatened that (i) affect or challenge the legality, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and the other agreements contemplated by this Agreement to be executed by such Subscriber, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or (ii) could, if there were an unfavorable decision, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on such Subscriber.
Except as set forth in this Article III, no Subscriber makes any representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, and the Corporation acknowledges that it has not relied upon any other such representation or warranty.

Section 4.3 Non-Contravention. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the Subscribers made hereunder, none of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Corporation and the consummation of the subscription transactions contemplated hereby will (A) result in a default (or an event that, with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) or give to any third party any right of termination, cancellation, amendment or acceleration under, or result in any loss of any material benefit, pursuant to any material agreement, document or instrument to which the Corporation or any of its properties or
6
assets may be bound or (B) violate or conflict with any judgment, order, decree, or law applicable to the Corporation or any of its properties or assets; provided in the case of (A) and (B), unless any such default, violation or conflict would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 4.4 Common Stock.

Dear Sirs:
As an inducement to the Underwriters to execute the Underwriting Agreement with Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”) and Pacific Office Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and the operating partnership of the Company (the “Operating Partnership”), pursuant to which an offering will be made that is intended to result in an orderly market for common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Securities”) of the Company, and any successor (by merger or otherwise) thereto, the undersigned hereby agrees that during the period specified in the following paragraph (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any Securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any Securities, including, without limitation, units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, enter into a transaction which would have the same effect, or enter into any swap, hedge or other arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Securities or such other securities, whether any such aforementioned transaction is to be settled by delivery of the Securities or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or publicly disclose the intention to make any such offer, sale, pledge or disposition, or to enter into any such transaction, swap, hedge or other arrangement, without, in each case, the prior written consent of Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Xxxxx Fargo Securities, LLC and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Representatives”). In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, it will not, during the Lock-Up Period, make any demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any Securities or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Securities, including, without limitation, units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership.
The initial Lock-Up Period will commence on the date of this Lock-Up Agreement and continue and include the date 180 days after the public offering date set forth on the final prospectus used to sell the Securities (the “Public Offering Date”) pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement, to which you are or expect to become parties; provided, however, that if (1) during the last 17 days of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company releases earnings results or material news or a material event relating to the Company occurs or (2) prior to the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 16-day period beginning on the last day of the initial Lock-Up Period, then in each case the Lock-Up Period will be extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the occurrence of the material news or material event, as applicable, unless the Representatives waive, in writing, such extension.
The undersigned agrees that, prior to engaging in any transaction or taking any other action that is subject to the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement during the period from the date of this Lock-Up Agreement to and including the 34th day following the expiration of the initial Lock-Up Period, it will give notice thereof to the Company and will not consummate such transaction or take
any such action unless it has received written confirmation from the Company that the Lock-Up Period (as may have been extended pursuant to the previous paragraph) has expired.
Any Securities received upon exercise of options granted to the undersigned will also be subject to this Agreement. Any Securities acquired by the undersigned in the open market will not be subject to this Agreement. A transfer of Securities to a family member or trust may be made, provided the transferee agrees to be bound in writing by the terms of this Agreement prior to such transfer, such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value and no filing by any party (donor, donee, transferor or transferee) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 shall be required or shall be voluntarily made in connection with such transfer (other than a filing on a Form 5 made after the expiration of the Lock-Up Period).
In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and its transfer agent and registrar are hereby authorized to decline to make any transfer of shares of Securities if such transfer would constitute a violation or breach of this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be binding on the undersigned and the successors, heirs, personal representatives and assigns of the undersigned. This Agreement shall lapse and become null and void if the Public Offering Date shall not have occurred on or before February 28, 2011. This agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.
Very truly yours, |
|
