SECTION 3.03. Exchange of Company Common Shares, Unit Certificates and Company Preferred Shares.

(a) Paying Agent. Prior to the Effective Time, Parent shall appoint a bank or trust company reasonably satisfactory to the Company to act as Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”) for the payment or exchange in accordance with this Article III of the Company Common Share Merger Consideration (exclusive of payments to holders of Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 3.01(e)) and the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration (collectively, such cash being referred to as the “Exchange Fund”). On or before the Effective Time, Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent the Company Common Share Merger Consideration (exclusive of payments to holders of Restricted Shares pursuant to Section 3.01(e)) and the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration.

The Exchange Fund shall not be used for any other purpose. Any and all interest earned on cash deposited in the Exchange Fund shall be paid to Parent. Without limiting any of the foregoing, in the event Parent elects to convert all remaining (i.e., not being tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer) Company Preferred Shares into cash as provided for in the proviso of Section 3.01(c), then Parent shall deposit with the Paying Agent, in the Exchange Fund, on or before the Effective Time, the additional funds necessary to convert all such remaining Company Preferred Shares into cash. Any such additional funds shall not be used for any other purpose.

(b) Share and Unit Transfer Books. At the Effective Time, the Company Common Share transfer books shall be closed and thereafter there shall be no further registration of transfers of the Company Common Shares. From and after the Effective Time, persons who held Company Common Shares immediately prior to the Effective Time shall cease to have

rights with respect to such shares, except as otherwise provided for herein. From and after the Partnership Merger Effective Time, there shall be no transfers on the transfer books of the Partnership or the Surviving Partnership of Partnership Units, other than transfers with respect to the Series B Partnership General Partner Units in accordance with the terms of the Surviving Partnership Agreement. From and after the Partnership Merger Effective Time, the holders of Limited Partner Common Units outstanding immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time, other than with respect to the Series B Partnership General Partner Units, shall cease to have rights with respect to such Limited Partner Common Units, except as otherwise provided for herein.

(c) Exchange Procedures for Uncertificated Company Common Shares. Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Surviving Entity shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Common Shares represented by book-entry as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Common Shares in exchange for the Company Common Share Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Upon adherence to the applicable procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal and delivery to the Paying Agent of such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Company Common Shares shall receive the Company Common Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares held by such person immediately prior to the Effective Time pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Company Common Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name such Company Common Shares are registered, if Parent shall be presented with a proper form for such transfer and if the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than such holder of Company Common Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each Company Common Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Company Common Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 3.03. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Company Common Share Merger Consideration.

(d) Exchange Procedures for Certificated Company Common Shares. Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Surviving Entity shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who immediately prior to the Effective Time held of record Company Common Shares that were exchanged for the right to receive the Company Common Share Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.01: (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall specify that delivery of Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Certificates shall pass to the Paying Agent, only upon delivery of the Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which letter shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the holder’s Certificates in exchange for the Company Common Share Merger Consideration to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Upon

surrender of a Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Certificate shall receive in exchange therefor the Company Common Share Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Company Common Shares previously represented by such Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Common Shares that is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Certificate so surrendered is registered, if such Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each Certificate shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Company Common Share Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 3.03. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Company Common Share Merger Consideration.

(e) Exchange Procedures for Preferred Shares. Reasonably promptly after the Effective Time (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), Sub REIT shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each holder of record of Company Preferred Shares represented by book-entry as of immediately prior to the Effective Time (i) a letter of transmittal in customary form (which shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Parent prior to the Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the Company Preferred Shares in exchange for Sub REIT Preferred Shares to which such holder is entitled pursuant to this Agreement. Upon adherence to the applicable procedures set forth in the letter of transmittal and delivery to the Paying Agent of such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Company Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive in exchange therefor that number of shares of Sub REIT Preferred Shares which such holder has the right to receive pursuant to the provisions of this ARTICLE III, in book-entry form, and the Company Preferred Shares so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Company Preferred Shares which is not registered in the transfer records of the Company, Sub REIT Preferred Shares may be issued in book-entry form to a person other than the person in whose name Company Preferred Shares are registered, if Sub REIT shall be presented with a proper form for such transfer and if the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the issuance of Sub REIT Preferred Shares to a person other than the registered holder of such Company Preferred Shares or establish to the satisfaction of Sub REIT that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each Company Preferred Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive upon such surrender, the appropriate number of shares of Sub REIT Preferred Shares, in book-entry form. Alternatively, if Parent elects to convert all remaining (i.e., not being tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer) Company Preferred Shares into cash as provided for in the proviso of Section 3.01(c), then reasonably promptly after Parent provides written notice pursuant to the proviso of Section 3.01(c) (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of such notice), Parent shall cause Paying Agent to follow the foregoing procedures provided in this Section 3.03(e) to notify

and instruct holders of such remaining Company Preferred Shares to exchange all such remaining Company Preferred Shares for cash in an amount per Company Preferred Share equal to the Offer Price. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each remaining Company Preferred Share shall be deemed at any time after the Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, cash in an amount per Company Preferred Share equal to the Offer Price as contemplated by this Section 3.03. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Company Preferred Shares.

(f) Exchange Procedures for Unit Certificates. Reasonably promptly after the Partnership Merger Effective Time (but in any event within five (5) Business Days), the Surviving Entity shall cause the Paying Agent to mail to each person who immediately prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time held of record Limited Partner Common Units that were automatically converted into, and canceled in exchange for, the right to receive the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration pursuant to Section 3.02: (i) a letter of transmittal (which shall specify that delivery of Unit Certificates shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the Unit Certificates shall pass to the Paying Agent, only upon delivery of the Unit Certificates to the Paying Agent, and which letter shall be in customary form and subject to the reasonable approval of Parent prior to the Partnership Merger Effective Time) and (ii) instructions for use in effecting the surrender of the holder’s Unit Certificates in exchange for the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration to which the holder thereof is entitled. Upon surrender of a Unit Certificate for cancellation to the Paying Agent or to such other agent or agents reasonably satisfactory to the Company as may be appointed by Parent, together with such letter of transmittal, duly executed and completed in accordance with the instructions thereto, and such other documents as may reasonably be required by the Paying Agent, the holder of such Unit Certificate shall receive in exchange therefor the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration payable in respect of the Limited Partner Common Units previously represented by such Unit Certificate pursuant to the provisions of this Article III, and the Unit Certificate so surrendered shall forthwith be canceled. In the event of a transfer of ownership of Limited Partner Common Units that is not registered in the transfer records of the Partnership, payment may be made to a person other than the person in whose name the Unit Certificate so surrendered is registered if such Unit Certificate shall be properly endorsed or otherwise be in proper form for transfer and the person requesting such payment shall pay any transfer or other Taxes required by reason of the payment to a person other than the registered holder of such Unit Certificate or establish to the satisfaction of Parent that such Tax has been paid or is not applicable. Until surrendered as contemplated by this Section 3.03, each Unit Certificate, other than Unit Certificates representing Series B Partnership General Partner Units, shall be deemed at any time after the Partnership Merger Effective Time to represent only the right to receive, upon such surrender, the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration as contemplated by this Section 3.03. No interest shall be paid or accrue on the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration.

(g) No Further Ownership Rights in Company Shares, or Limited Partner Common Units Exchanged; Share and Unit Transfers. At the Effective Time, holders of Company Shares shall cease to be, and shall have no rights as, stockholders of the Company other than the right to receive the Company Common Share Merger Consideration provided under this Article III. The Company Common Share Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to the Company Common Shares exchanged theretofore. The

Partnership Cash Merger Consideration paid in accordance with the terms of this Article III shall be deemed to have been paid in full satisfaction of all rights and privileges pertaining to the Existing Units exchanged therefor, and on and after the Partnership Merger Effective Time such holders of Existing Units shall have no further rights with respect to any Existing Units so exchanged, and shall have no rights as, limited partners of the Partnership with respect to such Existing Units, other than the right to receive the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration immediately prior to the Closing as provided under this Article III.

(h) Termination of Exchange Fund. Any portion of the Exchange Fund which remains undistributed to the holders of Company Common Shares or Limited Partner Common Units that were exchanged for the right to receive the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration for one (1) year after the Effective Time shall be delivered to the Surviving Entity, and any holders of Company Common Shares or Limited Partner Common Units prior to the Mergers who have not theretofore complied with this Article III shall thereafter look only to the Surviving Entity and/or the Surviving Partnership for payment of the Company Common Share Merger Consideration or the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration, as applicable, in each case without interest, as general creditors. If any certificates representing Company Common Shares or Limited Partner Common Units shall not have been surrendered prior to five (5) years after the Effective Time (or a date which is immediately prior to such time on which any payment in respect hereof would otherwise escheat or become the property of any Governmental Authority), the payment in respect of such certificates shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, become the property of the Surviving Entity, free and clear of all claims or interest of any person previously entitled thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Parent, Sub REIT, the Company, the Surviving Corporation, the Surviving Partnership nor the Paying Agent shall be liable to any holder of Company Common Shares for any Company Common Share Merger Consideration delivered in respect of such Company Common Shares to a public official pursuant to any abandoned property, escheat or other similar Law.

(i) No Liability. None of Parent, Sub REIT, REIT Merger Sub, Partnership Merger Sub, the Surviving Entity, the Company, the Partnership, the Surviving Partnership or the Paying Agent, or any employee, officer, director, agent or Affiliate thereof, shall be liable to any person in respect of the Company Common Share Merger Consideration or the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration, as applicable, if the Exchange Fund has been delivered to a public official pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.

(j) Investment of Exchange Fund. The Paying Agent shall invest the cash included in the Exchange Fund, as directed by the Surviving Entity, on a daily basis. Any net profit resulting from, or interest or income produced by, such investments, shall be placed in the Exchange Fund. To the extent that there are losses with respect to such investments, or the Exchange Fund diminishes for other reasons below the level required to make prompt payments of the Company Common Share Merger Consideration or the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration as contemplated hereby, Parent shall promptly replace or restore the portion of the Exchange Fund lost through investments or other events so as to ensure that the Exchange Fund is, at all times, maintained at a level sufficient to make such payments.

(k) Lost Certificates or Unit Certificates. If any Certificate or Unit Certificate shall have been lost, stolen or destroyed, upon the making of an affidavit of that fact by the

SECTION 4.09. Employee Benefit Plans. (a) Section 4.09(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule lists all employee benefit plans (as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”)) and all material bonus, stock option, stock purchase, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, incentive, deferred compensation, retiree medical or life insurance, supplemental executive retirement plans or severance plans, programs, policies or arrangements and all material employment, termination, severance or change in control Contracts, to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party, or which are sponsored, maintained or contributed to by the Company or any Subsidiary for the benefit of any current employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary or, to the extent that the Company or any Subsidiary has any continuing liability, any former employee, officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary (collectively, the “Plans”). As applicable with respect to each Plan, the Company has made available to Parent a true and correct copy of (i) each Plan document, including all amendments thereto, (ii) the most recent annual report (Form 5500) filed with the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”), if any, (iii) the most recent summary plan description, (iv) each currently effective trust agreement or other funding vehicle, if any, and (v) the most recent determination letter or prototype opinion letter, if any, issued by the IRS with respect to any Plan that is intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

(b) Each Plan complies in all material respects in form and operation with its terms and the requirements of all applicable Laws, including, ERISA and the Code. No Action, claim or proceeding is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened in writing since January 1, 2011, with respect to any Plan (other than claims for benefits in the ordinary course) that, individually or in the aggregate, has had and would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(c) Each Plan that is intended to be qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from the IRS or may rely on a favorable prototype opinion letter from the IRS, and to the knowledge of the Company no fact or event has occurred

Neither the Company, nor its Subsidiaries nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or is reasonably likely to incur any liability under Title IV of ERISA.

(e) Except as contemplated by this Agreement, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or in conjunction with any other event) will (i) result in any payment or any increase or acceleration (of vesting or delivery) of any payment or benefit to any current or former employee or director of the Company or any Subsidiary under any Plan, or (ii) trigger the funding of any compensation or benefits under any Plan. Except as set forth in Section 4.09(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions (either alone or in conjunction with any other events) will result in any payment or benefit that will or may be made by the Company or its Subsidiaries that may be characterized as an “excess parachute payment” within the meaning of Section 280G(b)(1) of the Code.

(f) None of the Plans provide for health or life insurance benefits with respect to, or on behalf of, any former employee after the termination of employment except as may be required by Section 4980B of the Code or any similar Law. To the Company’s knowledge, there has been no prohibited transaction (within the meaning of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and other than a transaction that is exempt under a statutory or administrative exemption) with respect to any Plan that would reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company.

(g) Each Plan that constitutes in any part a nonqualified deferred compensation plan within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and that is subject to Section 409A of the Code has been operated and maintained in operational and documentary compliance with Section 409A of the Code and applicable guidance thereunder during the respective time periods in which such operational or documentary compliance has been required, except as would not reasonably be expected to result in material liability to the Company.

(h) Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has sponsored, maintained or contributed to any employee benefit plan outside of the United States.

(d) To the knowledge of the Company, no employee or officer of the Company or any Subsidiary is in violation of any employment contract, confidentiality or trade secret disclosure agreement, or non-competition agreement, in any material respect, in each case only with respect to agreements to which the Company or any Subsidiary is a party.

SECTION 4.11. Disclosure Documents.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, with respect to an Acquisition Proposal, the Company Board may at any time prior to receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval, make an Adverse Recommendation Change and/or terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f), if: (I) (A) an Acquisition Proposal (that did not result from a material breach of Section 7.04(a)) is made after the date of this Agreement to the Company by a third party, and such Acquisition Proposal is not withdrawn, and (B) the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel that a failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the duties of the members of the Company Board under applicable Law; and (II) (A) the Company provides Parent three (3) Business Day prior written notice of its intention to take such action, which notice shall include the information with respect to such Superior Proposal that is specified in Section 7.04(c), (B) after providing such notice and prior to making such Adverse Recommendation Change in

connection with a Superior Proposal or taking any action pursuant to Section 9.01(f) with respect to a Superior Proposal, the Company shall negotiate in good faith with Parent during such three (3) Business Day period (to the extent that Parent desires to negotiate) to make such revisions to the terms of this Agreement as would permit the Company Board not to effect an Adverse Recommendation Change in connection with a Superior Proposal or to take such action pursuant to Section 9.01(f) in response to a Superior Proposal, and (C) the Company Board shall have considered in good faith any changes to this Agreement irrevocably committed to in writing by Parent and shall have determined in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that the Acquisition Proposal continues to constitute a Superior Proposal; provided, however, that, in the event that the Acquisition Proposal is thereafter modified by the Person making such Acquisition Proposal, the Company shall provide written notice of such modified Acquisition Proposal and shall again comply with this Section 7.04(b), except that the Company’s advance written notice obligation shall be reduced to two (2) Business Days (rather than the three (3) Business Days otherwise contemplated by this Section 7.04(b)); and (III) in the case of a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f), the Company has paid Parent the Termination Fee and the Parent Expenses in accordance with Section 9.03(b)(iii). If the Company makes an Adverse Recommendation Change in respect of an Acquisition Proposal that constitutes a Superior Proposal in accordance with this Section 7.04(b), it shall be entitled to waive the “Ownership Limit” in the Company’s Charter for each Person that the Company Board (or duly authorized committee thereof) determines is reasonably necessary to effect the consummation of the Acquisition Proposal at the time the Company terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(f).

(c) The Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) provide written notice to Parent of the Company’s receipt of any bona fide Acquisition Proposal (including providing the identity of such person making or submitting such Acquisition Proposal) and, if applicable, provide Parent copies of the Acquisition Proposal and any draft agreements related to the Acquisition Proposal (or, if written copies are unavailable or such Acquisition Proposal is oral, a summary of the material terms thereof) and, if applicable and unless already provided to Parent and/or its Representatives, provide Parent with access (which, to the extent applicable, may be via submission to the “virtual data room”) to its properties, Material Contracts, personnel, books and records and any non-public or confidential information and/or data that are provided to the person making such Acquisition Proposal. The Company shall keep Parent reasonably informed of the status thereof including any material change to the status or terms of any such Acquisition Proposal (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt or delivery thereof). If the Company Board determines in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel and financial advisors, that such Acquisition Proposal constitutes a Superior Proposal and, after consultation with outside legal counsel that a failure to take such action would be inconsistent with the duties of the members of the Company Board under applicable Law, then the Company shall promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day) deliver to Parent a written notice advising it that the Company Board has made such determination and, if applicable and unless already provided to Parent and/or its Representatives, provide Parent copies of the Superior Proposal and any draft agreements related to the Superior Proposal (or, if written copies are unavailable or such Superior Proposal is oral, a summary of the material terms thereof).

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, nothing in this Section 7.04 shall prohibit or restrict the Company or the Company Board (or duly authorized committee thereof) from at any time prior to the receipt of the Company Stockholder Approval and other than in response to an Acquisition Proposal, effecting an Adverse Recommendation Change if the Company Board (or duly authorized Committee thereof) has determined in good

faith that the failure to take such action would be inconsistent with its duties to the stockholders of the Company under applicable Law. Subject to the Company’s compliance, in all material respects, with Section 7.04(b), the Company may take and/or disclose to the stockholders of the Company a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act or by Item 1012(a) of Regulation M-A.

(e) During the period from the date of this Agreement through the Effective Time, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.04, the Company (x) shall not terminate, amend or modify or waive any provision of any Third Party Confidentiality Agreement or other standstill agreement to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or waive the “Ownership Limit” in the Company’s Charter (other than in the ordinary course to any Person who has not made or is not directly or indirectly participating in any Acquisition Proposal) and (y) agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the provisions of any such agreements.

SECTION 7.05. Further Action; Commercially Reasonable Efforts. (a) Subject to Section 7.04, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereof, each of the parties hereto shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all reasonably appropriate action, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions (and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to refrain from taking any action that would materially impair or delay the foregoing), including, without limitation, using its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all Permits, consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers, exemptions, qualifications and Orders as are necessary for the consummation of the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions and to fulfill the conditions to the Closing. In case, at any time after the Closing, any further action is necessary or desirable to carry out the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreement, each of the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause its respective officers, employees and agents to take all such action.

(b) The parties hereto shall cooperate and assist one another in connection with all actions to be taken pursuant to Section 7.05(a), including the preparation and making of the filings referred to therein and, if requested, amending or furnishing additional information thereunder, including, subject to applicable Law and the Confidentiality Agreement, providing copies of all related documents to the non-filing party and their advisors prior to filing, and to the extent practicable none of the parties will file any such document or have any communication with any Governmental Authority without prior consultation with the other parties. Subject to Section 7.04, each party shall keep the others apprised of the content and status of any communications with, and communications from, any Governmental Authority with respect to the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions. Subject to Section 7.04, to the extent practicable, and permitted by a Governmental Authority, each party hereto shall permit representatives of the other party to participate in meetings (whether by telephone or in person) with such Governmental Authority.

(c) Subject to Section 7.04, each of the parties hereto agrees to cooperate and use its commercially reasonable efforts to defend through litigation on the merits any Action, including administrative or judicial Action, asserted by any party in order to avoid the entry of,

or to have vacated, lifted, reversed, terminated or overturned, any Order (whether temporary, preliminary or permanent) that in whole or in part restricts, delays, prevents or prohibits consummation of the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions, including, without limitation, by vigorously pursuing all available avenues of administrative and judicial appeal.

(d) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the parties hereto acknowledges that consents and waivers with respect to the Contemplated Transactions may be required from certain lenders under Loan Documents of the Company and the Subsidiaries, as set forth in Section 4.02(g) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and that such Loan Consents have not been obtained as of the date of this Agreement. The Company and Parent shall, and shall cause their respective Representatives to, use commercially reasonable efforts (which, in the case of Parent, is expressly agreed to include payment of up to all amounts contemplated on Section 7.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule) to obtain each of the Loan Consents promptly after the date of this Agreement in accordance with this Section 7.05 and Section 7.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule. The Company and Parent shall coordinate and reasonably cooperate in connection with soliciting and obtaining the Loan Consents, including the preparation and delivery of any information relating to Parent, Sub REIT, REIT Merger Sub, and Partnership Merger Sub and the Company and the Subsidiaries as may be reasonably requested by any such lender, any loan servicer on behalf of any lender or any rating agency and shall act in a coordinated manner. Without limiting the foregoing, each of Parent and the Company agrees as follows:

(i) Each party agrees to keep the other informed of any material communications and notices with any such lender, any loan servicer on behalf of any such lender or any rating agency;

(ii) Each party shall give the other no less than two (2) calendar days to review and comment on all materials or documents with respect to the Loan Consents and any such materials or documents shall be revised by Parent and the Company, as applicable, to reflect the reasonable comments of the other;

(iii) Neither party, nor its Representatives, shall engage or participate in any material meeting or discussion or proposed material discussion or communication with, and communications from, any lender, any loan servicer on behalf of any such lender or rating agency with respect to the Loan Consents and the Contemplated Transactions without providing representatives of the other reasonable opportunity to participate;

(iv) Each party shall, upon the request of the other, participate in meetings or discussions with any lender, any loan servicer on behalf of any such lender or rating agency with respect to the Loan Consents and assist the other in obtaining ratings as required for the Loan Consents (including the participation in such meetings or discussions of such party’s senior management);

(v) The Company shall assist Parent in establishing or maintaining, as of the Closing, bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock box arrangements in connection with any Loan Consent;

(vi) Each party shall assist the other in obtaining waivers, consents, estoppels and approvals, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable in connection with any Loan Consent, from other parties to material leases, encumbrances and contracts to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party;

(vii) Each party shall execute and deliver customary certificates, legal opinions, or other documents and instruments relating to guarantees, the pledge of collateral and other matters ancillary to the Indebtedness underlying the Loan Consents as may be reasonably requested by the other or any lender or any loan servicer on behalf of any such lender (provided that the Company may elect to form a committee comprised of one or more individuals designated by Parent to be appointed by the Company as a director immediately prior to the Effective Time to execute any such documents); and

(viii) Each party shall take all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably necessary or customary to permit the consummation of any Loan Consent on the Closing Date (including executing and delivering certificates with respect to solvency matters and cooperating with respect to any request the other or any lender or any loan servicer on behalf of any such lender has with respect to a new non-consolidation opinion) (provided that the Company may elect to form a committee comprised of one or more individuals designated by Parent to be appointed by the Company as a director immediately prior to the Effective Time to execute any such documents);

provided, however, that with respect to all matters described in this Section 7.05(d), (A) neither the Company nor Parent shall be required to execute any document or make any statements, certifications, or analysis for the benefit of the other or any other person other than documents, statements, certifications and analyses to become effective immediately after the Closing, and (B) the Company shall not be required to pay any commitment or other similar fee, pay any expense (other than as provided in this Agreement) or incur any other material obligation or liability in connection with this Section 7.05(d) prior to the Effective Time. Parent shall make available funds in connection with obtaining the Loan Consents, as set forth in Section 7.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that such funds shall be payable by Parent only in the event the Contemplated Transactions are actually consummated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Without the prior written consent of Parent, except as provided in Section 6.01(b)(iv), Section 6.01(b)(xii), Section 6.01(b)(xx) and Section 7.05(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, (i) the Company shall not prepay all or any portion of any Indebtedness or establish any reserves in connection with obtaining the Loan Consents, and (ii) the Company shall not, and it shall not agree to, amend, modify, supplement or waive the terms and conditions of the outstanding Indebtedness in any material respect, including, without limitation, changing any of the parties subject to the obligations of such Indebtedness of the Company, increasing the principal amount or interest due or changing the maturity date; provided, however, that in the case of this clause (ii), Parent shall not unreasonably withhold or delay such consent unless the cumulative effect of such amendments, modifications, supplements, waiver or other changes would be reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect the economic benefits that Parent otherwise would reasonably expect to derive from the Company Property encumbered by the applicable Indebtedness from and after the Closing.

(e) Except as expressly provided in Section 7.05(d) or as contemplated by Section 7.05(e) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, for the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of any party hereto to use commercially reasonable efforts to take actions to consummate the Contemplated Transactions or to avoid, delay or remove impediments to such consummation or any injunction, shall not be breached if such party does not agree to the assumption or incurrence of financial obligations (other than to a de minimis extent), to any amendment to this Agreement, to any change in the amount or type of consideration payable in the Mergers, or otherwise to take action which would materially and adversely change the contemplated costs or benefits of the Contemplated Transactions to that party.

(f) In the event Parent gives irrevocable written notice to the Company at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing specifying any Indebtedness that it wishes to prepay or refinance at or immediately prior to the Closing (a “Parent Loan Payment Notice”), then Parent shall prepay or refinance (in each case, at or immediately prior to the Closing) such Indebtedness; provided, however, that prepayment or refinancing of any such Indebtedness with respect to which Parent has given a Parent Loan Payment Notice is not a condition to Parent’s obligations hereunder and shall not permit Parent to delay consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. At the request of Parent, the Company agrees to provide, and to cause its Subsidiaries and its and their respective officers, employees, counsel, financial advisors, auditors and other representatives to provide, cooperation reasonably requested by Parent in connection with any such refinancing, including, without limitation:

(i) providing available financial information that is customarily provided in such financings and is reasonably necessary by Parent or the lender for the consummation of such financing;

(ii) assisting in the preparation and updating of information memoranda and other materials to be used in connection with the financing and any related syndication efforts, including, as applicable, participating in due diligence and drafting sessions;

(iii) making the officers and advisors of the Company and its Subsidiaries available from time to time to attend and make presentations regarding their respective businesses;

(iv) participating in meetings with rating agencies and assisting Parent in obtaining ratings as contemplated by refinancing (including the participation in such meetings of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ senior management);

(v) assisting Parent in establishing or maintaining, as of the Closing, bank and other accounts and blocked account agreements and lock box arrangements in connection with the refinancing;

(vi) assisting Parent to obtain waivers, consents, estoppels and approvals, to the extent necessary, proper or advisable in connection with any refinancing, from other parties to material leases, encumbrances and contracts to which the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company is a party and to arrange discussions among Parent and its financing sources with other parties to material leases, encumbrances and contracts as of the Closing;

(vii) executing and delivering customary certificates, legal opinions, hedging agreements or other documents and instruments relating to guarantees, the pledge of collateral and other matters ancillary to the refinancing as may be reasonably requested by Parent (provided that the Company may elect to form a committee comprised of one or more individuals designated by Parent to be appointed by the Company as a director immediately prior to the Effective Time to execute any such documents); and

(viii) take all corporate actions, subject to the occurrence of the Closing, reasonably requested by Parent that are necessary or customary to permit the consummation of the refinancing and to permit the proceeds thereof, to be made available to the Company on the Closing Date to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (including cooperation in connection with the pay-off of existing debt and the release of related liens) (provided that the Company may elect to form a committee comprised of one or more individuals designated by Parent to be appointed by the Company as a director immediately prior to the Effective Time to execute any such documents);

provided, however, that with respect to all matters described in this Section 7.05(f), the Company shall not be required to (A) execute any document or make any statements, certifications, or analysis for the benefit of Parent or any other person other than documents, statements, certifications and analyses to become effective immediately after the Closing, or (B) pay any commitment or other similar fee, pay any expense (other than as provided in this Agreement) or incur any other material obligation or liability in connection with this Section 7.05(f) prior to the Effective Time. Nothing in this Section 7.05(f) shall require the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ cooperation to the extent it would (I) cause any condition to Closing set forth in Article VIII to fail to be satisfied or otherwise cause any breach of this Agreement (unless waived by Parent), (II) require the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to take any action that will conflict with or violate the Company’s organizational documents or any Laws or result in the material contravention of, or that would reasonably be expected to result in a material violation or breach of, or default under, any material Contract to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or (III) result in any officer or director of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries incurring any personal liability.

SECTION 7.06. Public Announcements. Parent and the Company shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, consult with each other before issuing, and give each other the opportunity to review and comment upon, giving due consideration to all reasonable additions, deletions or changes suggested in connection therewith, any press releases or otherwise making any public statements with respect to the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions, other than any press release by the Company to announce action taken by the Company pursuant to, or as permitted by, Section 7.04 hereof. Parent and the Company shall not issue any such press release (other than any press release by the Company to announce action taken by the Company pursuant to, or as permitted by, Section 7.04 hereof) or make any such public statement prior to such consultation, except as may be required by applicable Law, court process or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association which the securities of Parent or the Company, as applicable, are listed; provided that Parent and the Company shall coordinate and consult with respect to the timing, basis and scope of such disclosure requirement.

SECTION 7.07. Indemnification.

(a) Without limiting any other rights that any MPG Indemnified Parties may have under any employment or indemnification agreement or under the Organizational Documents or this Agreement or, if applicable, similar organizational documents or agreements of any of the Subsidiaries, from and after the Effective Time, Parent, Sub REIT, the Surviving Entity and the Partnership shall: (i) indemnify and hold harmless (A) the individuals listed on Section 7.07(a) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (B) each person who is on the date hereof or during the period from the date hereof through the Effective Time serving as a director or executive officer of the Company or any Subsidiary or as a fiduciary under or with respect to any employee benefit plan (within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA) (together with the individuals listed in the foregoing subclause (A), collectively, the “MPG Indemnified Parties”) to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law, as now or hereafter in effect, in connection with any Claim and any judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (including all interest, assessments and other charges paid or payable in connection with or in respect of such judgments, fines, penalties or amounts paid in settlement) resulting therefrom; and (ii) promptly pay on behalf of or, within thirty (30) days after any written request for advancement, advance to each of the MPG Indemnified Parties, to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable Law, as now or hereafter in effect, any Expenses incurred in defending, serving as a witness with respect to or otherwise participating in any Claim in advance of the final disposition of such Claim, including payment on behalf of or advancement to the MPG Indemnified Party of any Expenses incurred by such MPG Indemnified Party in connection with enforcing any rights with respect to such indemnification and/or advancement, in each case without the requirement of any bond or other security, but subject to Parent’s, Sub REIT’s, the Surviving Entity’s or the Partnership’s, as applicable, receipt of a contractual undertaking by or on behalf of such MPG Indemnified Party to repay such Expenses if it is ultimately determined under applicable Laws that such MPG Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified; provided, however, that neither Parent, Sub REIT, the Surviving Entity nor the Partnership shall be liable for any settlement effected without Parent’s, Sub REIT’s, the Surviving Entity’s or the Partnership’s written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) and shall not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel (selected by a plurality of the applicable MPG Indemnified Parties) for all MPG Indemnified Parties in any jurisdiction with respect to any single Claim. The indemnification and advancement obligations of Parent, Sub REIT, the Surviving Entity and the Partnership pursuant to this Section 7.07(a) shall extend to acts or omissions occurring at or before the Effective Time and any Claim relating thereto (including with respect to any acts or omissions occurring in connection with the approval of this Agreement and the consummation of Contemplated Transactions, including the consideration and approval thereof and the process undertaken in connection therewith and any Claim relating thereto), and all rights to indemnification and advancement conferred hereunder shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, executive officer or other fiduciary of the Company or the Subsidiaries after the date hereof and shall inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and personal and legal representatives. As used in this Section 7.07(a), (i) the term “Claim” means any threatened, asserted, pending or completed Action, whether instituted by any party hereto, any Governmental Authority or any other party, that might reasonably lead to the institution of any such Action, whether civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other, including any arbitration or other alternative dispute resolution mechanism, arising out of or pertaining to matters that relate to, arise out of or contemplated by this Agreement, the

Contemplated Transactions and/or the Company’s exploration of strategic alternatives since January 1, 2012; and (ii) the term “Expenses” means reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other reasonable costs, expenses and obligations (including, without limitation, reasonable experts’ fees, travel expenses, court costs, retainers, transcript fees, duplicating, printing and binding costs, as well as telecommunications, postage and courier charges) paid or incurred in connection with investigating, defending, being a witness in or participating in (including on appeal), or preparing to investigate, defend, be a witness in or participate in, any Claim for which indemnification is authorized pursuant to this Section 7.07(a), including any Action relating to a claim for indemnification or advancement brought by a MPG Indemnified Party unless it is ultimately determined by final non-appealable judgment under applicable Laws that such MPG Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified. Neither Parent, Sub REIT, the Surviving Entity nor the Partnership shall settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any Action in respect of which indemnification has been or could be sought by such MPG Indemnified Party hereunder unless (x) such settlement, compromise or judgment includes an unconditional release of such MPG Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such Action, (y) such MPG Indemnified Party otherwise consents thereto, or (z) Parent, Sub REIT, the Surviving Entity and the Partnership irrevocably commit that Claims in respect of such Action will be paid by them as required to hold harmless the applicable MPG Indemnified Party(ies).

(b) Without limiting Section 7.07(a) or any other rights that any employee, officer, director, agent or other fiduciary may have under any employment or indemnification agreement with the Company or any Subsidiary, Sub REIT, REIT Merger Sub and Partnership Merger Sub agree that all rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the Effective Time, as applicable, now existing in favor of the current or former directors, officers, employees, agents or other fiduciaries of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries as provided in the Organizational Documents (or, as applicable, the charter, bylaws, partnership agreement or other organizational documents of any of the other Subsidiaries) and indemnification agreements of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries identified in Section 7.07(b) of the Company Disclosure Schedule shall be assumed by the Surviving Entity and the Surviving Partnership in the Mergers, without further action, at the Effective Time and Partnership Merger Effective Time, as applicable, and shall survive the Mergers and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.

(c) The Surviving Entity and the Surviving Partnership shall (i) for a period of six (6) years after the Effective Time cause to be maintained in effect in the Organizational Documents (other than the Partnership Agreement) and the Surviving Partnership Agreement (or similar governing documents), provisions regarding elimination of liability of directors and officers, indemnification of officers, directors and employees and advancement of expenses that are no less advantageous to the intended beneficiaries as those currently contained in the Organizational Documents and (ii) on or before the Closing Date, in consultation with Parent, obtain prepaid policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (which policies shall provide the Company’s and the Subsidiaries’ current and former directors, officers, employees, agents and other persons covered by the current policies of directors’ and officers’ liability insurance maintained by the Company and its Subsidiaries with at least the same coverage and amounts, and contain terms and conditions which are, in the aggregate, no less advantageous to the insured, as those provided under such current policies) for an aggregate period of six (6) years with respect to claims arising from facts or events that occurred on or before the Effective Time,

including, without limitation, in respect of the Mergers and other Contemplated Transactions, at an aggregate cost for such six-year tail policies not to exceed 300% of the annual director’ and officers’ liability insurance premiums payable by the Company and its Subsidiaries beginning in September 2012 (the “Current Annual Premium”); provided, however, that if such insurance policies cannot be obtained at all or can be obtained only for an amount in excess of 300% of the Current Annual Premium therefor, prior to the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity and the Surviving Partnership may, in consultation with Parent, obtain as much director’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as can be obtained for an amount equal to 300% of the Current Annual Premium therefor.

(d) This Section 7.07 shall survive the consummation of the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions and shall be binding, jointly and severally, on all successors and assigns of Parent, Sub REIT, the Surviving Entity, the Surviving Partnership and their respective subsidiaries. If either the Surviving Entity or the Surviving Partnership or any of their respective successors or assigns (i) consolidates with or merges with or into any other person and shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation, partnership or other entity of such consolidation or merger or (ii) transfers or conveys all or substantially all of its properties and assets to any person, then, and in each such case, proper provision shall be made so that the successors and assigns of the Surviving Entity or the Surviving Partnership assume the obligations set forth in this Section 7.07.

(e) The provisions of this Section 7.07 shall not be terminated or modified in such a manner as to adversely affect any indemnitee to whom this Section 7.07 applies without the consent of such affected indemnitee and are intended to be for the benefit of, and will be enforceable by, each indemnified party and his or her heirs, successors, executors, trustees, fiduciaries, administrators and legal representatives. The Surviving Entity shall pay all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, that may be incurred by any indemnitee in successfully enforcing the indemnity and other obligations provided in this Section 7.07.

(f) The rights of each indemnitee under this Section 7.07 shall be in addition to any rights such person or any employee of the Company or any Subsidiary may have under the Organizational Documents (or equivalent organization or governing documents) of the Company and the Subsidiaries, or the Surviving Entity or the Surviving Partnership or any of their respective subsidiaries, or under any applicable Law or under any agreement of any indemnitee or any employee with the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.

SECTION 7.08. Employee Benefits Matters. (a) After the Closing Date, with respect to each “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA and each vacation and severance plan maintained by Parent or any subsidiary of Parent (collectively, the “Parent Benefit Plans”) in which any director, officer, employee or independent contractor of the Company or any Subsidiary (the “Company Employees”) will participate after the Effective Time, Parent shall, or shall cause Sub REIT to cause the Surviving Entity to, recognize all service of the Company Employees with the Company or a Subsidiary, as the case may be, for purposes of eligibility, vesting and level of benefits (with respect to severance, vacation and other service-based benefits), but not for purposes of benefit accrual or computation, in any such Parent Benefit Plan (except to the extent such credit would result in a duplication of benefits for the same period of service). In addition, Parent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, or

shall cause the Surviving Entity to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) waive all limitations as to preexisting conditions, exclusions and waiting periods with respect to participation and coverage requirements applicable to the Company Employees under any welfare benefit plans that such employees may be eligible to participate in after the Effective Time, other than limitations or waiting periods that are already in effect with respect to such employees and that have not been satisfied as of the Effective Time under any welfare benefit plan maintained for the Company Employees immediately prior to the Effective Time and (ii) provide each Company Employee with credit for any co-payments and deductibles paid prior to the Effective Time during the year in which the Closing occurs in satisfying any applicable deductible or out-of-pocket requirements for such year under any welfare plans that such employees are eligible to participate in after the Effective Time.

(b) From and after the Effective Time, Parent shall cause Sub REIT to cause the Surviving Entity (or the Subsidiary party to such agreement) to honor in accordance with their terms all employment, severance, retention and termination plans and agreements (including, without limitation, any change-in-control provisions thereof) of employees or independent contractors of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

(c) For a period of not less than one (1) year after the Closing Date, for each Company Employee who remains an employee of the Surviving Entity, Parent shall, or shall cause Sub REIT to cause the Surviving Entity to, maintain compensation and benefits (including, without limitation, group health, life, disability, bonus, and severance plans) (but excluding retention, sale, stay, special bonuses, other change of control payments or awards or bonuses based upon leasing, occupancy or rentals and any equity-based compensation) that are, in the aggregate, substantially comparable to such employee as the compensation and benefits the Company or such Subsidiary provided to such employee immediately prior to the Effective Time.

(d) Prior to the Effective Time, the Company Board, or an appropriate committee of non-employee directors thereof, shall adopt a resolution consistent with the interpretive guidance of the SEC so that the disposition by any officer or director of the Company who is a covered person of the Company for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder (“Section 16”) of Company Common Shares or options to acquire Company Common Shares pursuant to this Agreement and the Mergers shall be an exempt transaction for purposes of Section 16.

(e) Nothing in this Agreement shall (i) modify or amend any Plan of the Company or other agreement, plan, program, or document regarding employee benefits or compensation unless this Agreement explicitly states that the provision “amends” such Plan of the Company or other agreement, plan, program, or document or (ii) prohibit Parent, Sub REIT or the Surviving Entity from amending or terminating any particular Plan or other compensation or benefit plan, program, or arrangement. Nothing in this Section 7.08 shall obligate Parent to, or cause Sub REIT to cause the Surviving Entity to, employ any person for any period of time after the Effective Time, and this Section 7.08 shall not be construed to limit the ability of Parent to alter the terms and conditions of, or terminate, the employment of any person.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, immediately prior to, but conditioned on, the Effective Time, the Company and/or the Partnership shall pay to each employee who is a participant in the Company’s quarterly cash incentive bonus program a pro-rata portion (reflecting the number of days elapsed through the calendar quarter in which the Closing occurs) of the cash bonuses that would otherwise be payable to such employee as of the end of the applicable quarter in which the Closing occurs, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the program.

SECTION 7.09. Transfer Taxes. Parent and the Company shall cooperate in the preparation, execution and filing of all returns, questionnaires, applications or other documents regarding any real property transfer or gains, sales, use, transfer, value added, stock transfer or stamp taxes, any transfer, recording, registration and other fees and any similar taxes that become payable in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (together with any related interests, penalties or additions to Tax, “Transfer Taxes”), and shall cooperate in attempting to minimize the amount of Transfer Taxes. From and after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall pay or cause to be paid, without deduction or withholding from any consideration or amounts payable to holders of the Company Common Shares, Limited Partner Common Units and/or Company Stock Options, all Transfer Taxes.

SECTION 7.10. Tax Matters.

(a) The parties intend that, for U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, the REIT Merger will be treated as a taxable sale by the Company of all of the Company’s assets (subject to all of its liabilities) to REIT Merger Sub in exchange for (i) the Company Common Share Merger Consideration and (ii) the Sub REIT Preferred Shares or cash into which the Company Preferred Shares are converted pursuant to the REIT Merger, followed by a taxable liquidation of the Company. This Agreement shall constitute a “plan of liquidation” of the Company for U.S. federal income and applicable state Tax purposes. For U.S. federal and applicable state income Tax purposes, each of the parties hereto shall report and treat the Partnership Merger as a taxable sale of interests in the Partnership to the extent of Limited Partner Common Units exchanged for the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration.

(b) During the Interim Period, at least thirty (30) days prior to the due date for filing any U.S. federal or California income Tax Return, the Company and each Subsidiary shall submit each such Tax Return to Parent for review by Parent. The Company and each Subsidiary shall consider in good faith any comment or revision reasonably requested by Parent.

(c) Parent shall use its reasonable best efforts, and shall cause each of Sub REIT and Merger Sub to use its reasonable best efforts, to ensure that, prior to Closing, each of Sub REIT and Merger Sub is beneficially owned by at least 100 stockholders in accordance with Section 856(a)(5) of the Code, disregarding Section 856(h)(2) of the Code (including, as contemplated by Section 5.07, by issuing shares of preferred stock necessary to satisfy such requirements).

SECTION 7.11. Officer’s Certificate. The Company shall use its best efforts to deliver to Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP an officer’s certificate dated as of the Closing Date, signed by an officer of the Company, in form and substance as set forth on Section 7.11 of the Company

Disclosure Schedule, with such changes as are reasonably determined by Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP to be necessary or appropriate to account for the operation of the Company after the execution of this Agreement and that are approved by Parent, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, and such other changes as are mutually agreeable to Parent and the Company, to enable Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP to render the opinion described in Section 8.02(e) of this Agreement.

SECTION 7.12. Partnership Redemptions. During the Interim Period, the Company shall (i) provide Parent written notice within three (3) days of receipt by the Company or the Partnership of a Notice of Redemption (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) with respect to the repurchase, redemption or other acquisition by the Company or the Partnership of any partnership interests in the Partnership, (ii) allow Parent or its designee, on one occasion, effective as of at least one day prior to the Specified Redemption Date (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), to purchase $10,000 in Limited Partner Common Units and (iii) cause Parent or such designee to be admitted as a partner in the Partnership, effective as of at least one day prior to the Specified Redemption Date, pursuant to the Partnership Agreement; provided, however, in the event of termination of this Agreement and abandonment of the Mergers and the other Contemplated Transactions pursuant to and in accordance with Section 9.01, Parent or such designee shall immediately tender such Limited Partner Common Units for redemption pursuant to the Partnership Agreement.

SECTION 7.13. Director Resignations. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain resignations, effective as of, but subject to the occurrence of, the Closing, from each director of the Company listed on Section 7.13 of the Company Disclosure Schedule. For the avoidance of doubt, solely in the event that all of the Company Preferred Shares are not purchased in the Tender Offer or are not cancelled pursuant to the proviso of Section 3.01(c), the two directors of the Company who were elected by the holders of the Company Preferred Shares prior to the Closing shall remain as directors of the Surviving Entity following the Closing.

SECTION 7.14. Tender Offer.

(ii) If, within five (5) Business Days prior to any then-scheduled Expiration Date, the Company exercises its right to postpone or adjourn the Company Stockholder Meeting pursuant to Section 7.02(a) of this Agreement in order to consider an Acquisition Proposal, then the Tender Offer Purchaser shall extend the Tender Offer so that the Expiration Date does not occur until the date that is at least one (1) Business Day after the postponed Company Stockholder Meeting date; provided that such extension of the Tender Offer shall not extend past the earlier of (A) the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article IX and (B) the Outside Date; and

The Tender Offer Purchaser expressly reserves the right to, in its sole discretion, following the closing of the Tender Offer, extend the Tender Offer for a “subsequent offering period” (and one or more extensions thereof) in accordance with Rule 14d-11 under the Exchange Act.

(f) Termination of the Tender Offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of the Tender Offer, the Tender Offer Purchaser shall not be required to accept for payment or, subject to any applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, pay for, and may delay the acceptance for payment of or the payment for, any validly tendered shares of Company Preferred Shares and may (and in the case of the immediately following clause (i), shall) terminate the Tender Offer (i) on or at any time after this Agreement is validly terminated by Parent or the Company in accordance with Section 9.01, or (ii) on the Closing Date if the Company has not then sold the USBT Property subject to and in accordance with Section 6.01(b)(xx). If the Tender Offer is terminated or withdrawn by the Tender Offer Purchaser, or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Article IX, the Tender Offer Purchaser shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository acting on behalf of the Tender Offer Purchaser to return, in accordance with applicable Law, all tendered Company Preferred Shares to the registered holders thereof.

The Company may take no position with respect to the Tender Offer but shall not make a recommendation against the Tender Offer in Schedule 14D-9.

Thereafter, Sub REIT shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to (x) have the Form S-4 declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after such filing, (y) ensure that the Form S-4 complies in all material respects with the applicable provisions of the Exchange Act or Securities Act, and (z) keep the Form S-4 effective for so long as necessary to complete the Contemplated Transactions.

(vi) Sub REIT shall also take any other action required to be taken under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any applicable foreign or state securities or “blue sky” Laws and the rules and regulations thereunder in connection with the issuance of the Sub REIT Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement.

(vii) If, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Form S-4, any information relating to any party to this Agreement, or any of their respective Affiliates, should be discovered by any party to this Agreement which, in the reasonable judgment of such party, should be set forth in an amendment of, or a supplement to, the Form S-4, so that any of such documents would not include any misstatement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, the party which discovers such information shall promptly notify the other parties hereto, and Sub REIT and the Company shall cooperate to effect the prompt filing with the SEC of any necessary amendment of, or supplement to, the Form S-4 and, to the extent required by Law, in disseminating the information contained in such amendment or supplement to holders of Company Preferred Shares.

SECTION 9.02. Effect of Termination.

(i) by Parent or the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(d), (A) the Company shall pay Parent, within three (3) Business Days following the date of such termination, the Parent Expenses and the No Vote Termination Fee and (B) if (1) a bona fide Acquisition Proposal was publicly announced after the date of this Agreement and prior to the date of the Company Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof giving rise to Parent’s or the Company’s right to terminate pursuant to Section 9.01(d), (2) such Acquisition Proposal was not withdrawn prior to the date of such Company Stockholder Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof (provided that for purposes of this Section 9.03(b)(i), each reference in the definition of Acquisition Proposal to “20%” will be deemed to be references to “40%”), and (3) within twelve (12) months after termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d), the Company (x) consummates an Acquisition Proposal that results in the sale of (I) 40% or more of the Company’s common stock, and at the time of consummation of such Acquisition Proposal the Company owns directly or indirectly at least three of Gas Company Xxxxx, Xxxxx Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower and 777 Tower (together with the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx land parcel); provided that a Company Property shall not qualify as “owned” for purposes of this clause (I) if, at the time of consummation of the Acquisition Proposal, (a) such Company Property is under a bona fide binding contract to be sold to any unrelated third party other than the maker of the Acquisition Proposal or (b) a definitive agreement has been reached with lenders or servicers to relinquish ownership of, hold for sale or hold in receivership such Company Property or (II) three or more of Gas Company Xxxxx, Xxxxx Fargo Tower, KPMG Tower and 777 Tower (together with the 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx land parcel) to the same person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) in a transaction or series of related transactions (other than the acquisition by the same person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) pursuant to separate fully

marketed transactions for each Company Property); or (y) enters into an agreement for such an Acquisition Proposal that is subsequently consummated, then the Company shall pay Parent, within three (3) Business Days following the consummation of an Acquisition Proposal that satisfies the criteria set forth in clause (3) immediately above, the Termination Fee (provided that the Termination Fee so payable shall be reduced to the extent of the amount of any No Vote Termination Fee paid to Parent pursuant to this Section 9.03(b)(i));

(ii) by Parent pursuant to Section 9.01(e), then the Company shall pay Parent, within three (3) Business Days after such termination is effective, the Termination Fee and the Parent Expenses; or

(iii) by the Company pursuant to Section 9.01(f), then the Company shall deliver to Parent before or simultaneously with the termination of this Agreement, the Termination Fee and the Parent Expenses, and such payment shall be a condition to the effectiveness of such termination.

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, (i) the “No Vote Termination Fee” shall mean an amount equal to four million ($4,000,000) dollars in cash, (ii) “Termination Fee” shall mean an amount equal to seventeen million ($17,000,000) dollars in cash and (iii) “Parent Expenses” shall mean all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket third-party expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of lawyers, investment bankers or financial advisors, accountants, engineers, experts, advisors and consultants, incurred by Parent, the Equity Sources and their respective Affiliates in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions, up to an aggregate maximum amount of six million ($6,000,000) dollars; provided, however, that in no event shall Parent Expenses include any ticking fees, capital commitment fees, advisory fees or investment banking fees payable to Parent, the Equity Sources or any of their respective Affiliates. All payments under this Section 9.03 shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds.

(d) The Company acknowledges that the agreements contained in this Section 9.03 are a material inducement to the entrance into this Agreement by Parent and, accordingly, if the Company shall fail to pay the Termination Fee or Parent Expenses when due, the Company shall reimburse Parent for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Parent (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) in connection with the collection and enforcement of this Section 9.03. In addition, if the Company fails to pay the Termination Fee and/or Parent Expenses when due, the Company shall also pay to Parent any interest on the unpaid amount under this Section 9.03, accruing from its due date, at an interest rate per annum equal to two percentage points in excess of the prime commercial lending rate quoted by The Wall Street Journal. Any change in the interest rate hereunder resulting from a change in such prime rate will be effective at the beginning of the date of such change in such prime rate.

(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement but subject to Section 9.03(d), Section 10.07 and Section 10.09, (x) in connection with any termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 9.01(d), Section 9.01(e) or Section 9.01(f), Parent’s right to receive payment from the Company of the Termination Fee, the No Vote Termination Fee and the Parent Expenses, as applicable, pursuant to Sections 9.03(b)(i), 9.03(b)(ii), or 9.03(b)(iii) shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of Parent, Sub REIT, REIT Merger Sub, Partnership

Merger Sub and their respective Affiliates (the “Parent Parties”) against the Company and the Subsidiaries and any of their respective former, current or future officers, directors, partners, stockholders, managers, members or Affiliates (the “Company Parties”) for the loss suffered as a result of the failure of the Contemplated Transactions to be consummated or for a breach or failure to perform hereunder or otherwise and (y) any payment of the Termination Fee, the No Vote Termination Fee and/or the Parent Expenses shall be reduced by an amount of any damages or other monetary awards payable or paid by any of the Company Parties to any of the Parent Parties; provided, however, that unless the Company promptly pays to Parent when due, and does not dispute the amount or payment of, the Termination Fee or No Vote Termination Fee, nothing contained in this Section 9.03(e) shall relieve the Company Parties from any liability resulting from or arising out of (i) actual fraud or (ii) any material and willful breach of any agreement or covenant contained in Section 7.04 that causes actual harm.

SECTION 9.04. Waiver. At any time prior to the Effective Time, Parent, Sub REIT, REIT Merger Sub and Partnership Merger Sub, on the one hand, and the Company and the Partnership, on the other hand, may (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations or other acts of the other, (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties of the other contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto and (c) waive compliance by the other with any of the agreements or conditions contained herein. Any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties to be bound thereby, but such extension or waiver or failure to insist on strict compliance with an obligation, covenant, agreement or condition shall not operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other failure.

Each party to this Agreement irrevocably consents to service of process in the manner provided for notices in Section 10.02. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law.

SECTION 10.09. Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law any right it may have to a trial by jury with respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement, any Ancillary Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions.

Section 4.2 Extraordinary Actions. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.8 (relating to removal of directors) and in Article VII (relating to amendments and transactions outside the ordinary course of business), notwithstanding any provision of law permitting or requiring any action to be taken or approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of shares entitled to cast a greater number of votes, any such action shall be effective and valid if taken or approved by the affirmative vote of holders of shares entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter.

Section 4.3 Authorization by Board of Stock Issuance. The Board of Directors may authorize the issuance from time to time of shares of stock of the Corporation of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, or securities or rights convertible into shares of its stock of any class or series, whether now or hereafter authorized, for such consideration as the Board of Directors may deem advisable (or without consideration in the case of a stock split or stock dividend), subject to such restrictions or limitations, if any, as may be set forth in these Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws.

Section 4.4 Preemptive Rights. Except as may be provided by the Board of Directors in setting the terms of classified or reclassified shares of stock pursuant to Section 5.4 or as may otherwise be provided by contract, no holder of shares of stock of the Corporation shall, as such holder, have any preemptive right to purchase or subscribe for any additional shares of stock of the Corporation or any other security of the Corporation which it may issue or sell.

Section 4.5 Indemnification. The Corporation shall have the power, to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to time, to obligate itself to indemnify, and to pay or reimburse reasonable expenses in advance of final disposition of a proceeding to, (a) any individual who is a present or former director or officer of the Corporation or (b) any individual who, while a director of the Corporation and at the request of the Corporation, serves or has served as a director, officer, partner or trustee of another corporation, real estate investment trust, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise from and against any claim or liability to which such person may become subject or

which such person may incur by reason of his status as a present or former director or officer of the Corporation. The Corporation shall have the power, with the approval of the Board of Directors, to provide such indemnification and advancement of expenses to a person who served a predecessor of the Corporation in any of the capacities described in (a) or (b) above and to any employee or agent of the Corporation or a predecessor of the Corporation.

Section 4.6 Determinations by Board. The determination as to any of the following matters, made in good faith by or pursuant to the direction of the Board of Directors consistent with these Articles of Incorporation and in the absence of actual receipt of an improper benefit in money, property or services or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a court, shall be final and conclusive and shall be binding upon the Corporation and every holder of shares of its stock: the amount of the net income of the Corporation for any period and the amount of assets at any time legally available for the payment of dividends, redemption of its stock or the payment of other distributions on its stock; the amount of paid-in surplus, net assets, other surplus, annual or other net profit, net assets in excess of capital, undivided profits or excess of profits over losses on sales of assets; the amount, purpose, time of creation, increase or decrease, alteration or cancellation of any reserves or charges and the propriety thereof (whether or not any obligation or liability for which such reserves or charges shall have been created shall have been paid or discharged); the fair value, or any sale, bid or asked price to be applied in determining the fair value, of any asset owned or held by the Corporation; any matter relating to the acquisition, holding and disposition of any assets by the Corporation; or any other matter relating to the business and affairs of the Corporation.

Section 4.7 REIT Qualification. So long as the Corporation has elected to qualify for federal income tax treatment as a REIT, the Board of Directors shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve the status of the Corporation as a REIT; however, if the Board of Directors determines that it is no longer in the best interests of the Corporation to continue to be qualified as a REIT, the Board of Directors may revoke or otherwise terminate the Corporation’s REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. The Board of Directors also may determine that compliance with any restriction or limitation on stock ownership and transfers set forth in Article VI is no longer required for REIT qualification.

Section 4.8 Removal of Directors. Subject to the rights of holders of one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock to elect or remove one or more directors, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time, but only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the votes entitled to be cast generally in the election of directors. For the purpose of this paragraph, “cause” shall mean, with respect to any particular director, conviction of a felony or a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction holding that such director caused demonstrable, material harm to the Corporation through bad faith or active and deliberate dishonesty.

Section 4.9 Rights of Objecting Stockholders. Holders of shares of stock of the Corporation shall not be entitled to exercise any rights of an objecting stockholder provided for under Title 3, Subtitle 2 of the Maryland General Corporation Law unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation, upon the affirmative vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors, shall determine that such rights shall apply, with respect to all or any classes or series

of stock, to a particular transaction or all transactions occurring after the date of such determination in connection with which holders of such shares of stock of the Corporation would otherwise be entitled to exercise such rights.

The aggregate par value of all authorized shares of stock having par value is $210,001.25. If shares of one class of stock are classified or reclassified into shares of another class of stock pursuant to this Article V, the number of authorized shares of the former class shall be automatically decreased and the number of shares of the latter class shall be automatically increased, in each case by the number of shares so classified or reclassified, so that the aggregate number of shares of stock of all classes that the Corporation has authority to issue shall not be more than the total number of shares of stock set forth in the first sentence of this paragraph. To the extent permitted by Maryland law, the Board of Directors, without any action by the stockholders of the Corporation, may amend these Articles of Incorporation from time to time to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the Corporation has authority to issue.

6.2.4 It is expressly intended that the restrictions on ownership and Transfer described in this Section 6.2 of Article VI shall apply to restrict the rights of any members or partners in limited liability companies or partnerships to exchange their interest in such entities for Common Stock of the Corporation.

Section 6.3 Transfers of Common Stock in Trust.

6.3.1 Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 6.2.2 of this Article VI, such Common Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries.

6.3.3 The Trustee shall have all voting rights and rights to dividends with respect to Common Stock held in the Trust, which rights shall be exercised for the exclusive benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary. Any dividend or distribution paid prior to the discovery by the Corporation that shares of Common Stock have been transferred to the Trustee shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand, and any dividend or distribution declared but unpaid shall be paid when due to the Trustee with respect to such Common Stock. Any dividends or distributions so paid over to the Trustee shall be held in trust for the Charitable Beneficiary. The Purported Record Transferee and Purported Beneficial Transferee shall have no voting rights with respect to the Common Stock held in the Trust and, subject to Maryland law, effective as of the date the Common Stock has been transferred to the Trustee, the Trustee shall have the authority (at the Trustee’s sole discretion) (i) to rescind as void any vote cast by a Purported Record Transferee with respect to such Common Stock prior to the discovery by the Corporation that the Common Stock has been transferred to the Trustee and (ii) to recast such vote in accordance with the desires of the Trustee acting for the benefit of the Charitable Beneficiary; provided, however, that if the Corporation has already taken irreversible corporate action, then the Trustee shall not have the authority to rescind and recast such vote. Notwithstanding the provisions of this

Article VI, until the Corporation has received notification that the Common Stock has been transferred into a Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of stockholders.

6.3.4 Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Corporation that shares of Common Stock have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall sell the shares of Common Stock held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares of Common Stock will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 6.2.1. Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares of Common Stock sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 6.3.4. The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of (i) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the shares of Common Stock in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, if the event which resulted in the transfer to the Trust did not involve a purchase of such shares of Common Stock at Market Price, the Market Price of such shares of Common Stock on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such shares of Common Stock and (ii) the price per share received by the Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the shares of Common Stock held in the Trust. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record Transferee shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary together with any dividends or other distributions thereon. If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that shares of such Common Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, such shares of Common Stock are sold by a Purported Record Transferee then (x) such shares of Common Stock shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust and (y) to the extent that the Purported Record Transferee received an amount for such shares of Common Stock that exceeds the amount that such Purported Record Transferee was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 6.3.4, such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

6.3.5 Common Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the shares of Common Stock in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, if the event which resulted in the transfer to the Trust did not involve a purchase of such shares of Common Stock at Market Price, the Market Price of such shares of Common Stock on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such shares of Common Stock to the Trust) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold the shares of Common Stock held in the Trust pursuant to Section 6.3.4. Upon such a sale to the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares of Common Stock sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Purported Record Transferee and any dividends or other distributions held by the Trustee with respect to such Common Stock shall thereupon be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary.

6.3.6 By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust such that (i) the shares of Common Stock held in the Trust would not violate the restrictions set

forth in Section 6.2.1 in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code.

Section 6.4 Remedies For Breach. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or other designees if permitted by the MGCL shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 6.2 of this Article VI or that a Person intends to acquire, has attempted to acquire or may acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any shares of the Corporation in violation of Section 6.2 of this Article VI, the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or other designees if permitted by the MGCL shall take such action as it deems or they deem advisable to refuse to give effect or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, causing the Corporation to redeem shares of Common Stock, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, ownership or Constructive Ownership or Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 6.2.1 of this Article VI, shall automatically result in the transfer to a Trust as described in Section 6.2.2 and any Transfer in violation of Section 6.2.3 shall automatically be void ab initio irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors.

Section 6.5 Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire shares in violation of Section 6.2 of this Article VI, or any Person who is a Purported Beneficial Transferee such that an automatic transfer to a Trust results under Section 6.2.2 of this Article VI, shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

Section 6.6 Owners Required to Provide Information. Prior to the Restriction Termination Date, each Person who is a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of shares of Common Stock and each Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of Common Stock for a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall, on demand, provide to the Corporation a completed questionnaire containing the information regarding their ownership of such shares, as set forth in the regulations (as in effect from time to time) of the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Code. In addition, each Person who is a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of shares of Common Stock and each Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of Common Stock for a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall, on demand, be required to disclose to the Corporation in writing such information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such stockholder’s actual and constructive ownership of shares of Common Stock on the Corporation’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, or as otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors.

Section 6.7 Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Article VI shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders by preservation of the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

Section 6.8 Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Article VI, including any definition contained in Section 6.1, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Article VI with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event Article VI requires an action by the Board of Directors and these Articles of Incorporation fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of Article VI. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors (which the Board may make in its sole and absolute discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 6.2.2) acquired Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of Common Stock in violation of Section 6.2.1, such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the shares of Common Stock which, but for such remedies, would have been actually owned by such Person, and second to shares of Common Stock which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such shares of Common Stock based upon the relative number of the shares of Common Stock held by each such Person.

Section 6.9 Exceptions.

6.9.1 Subject to Section 6.2.1(c) of this Article VI, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the limitation on a Person Beneficially Owning shares of Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit set forth in Section 6.2.1(a) of this Article VI if the Board determines that such exemption will not cause any Individual’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of Common Stock to violate the Ownership Limit and that any such exemption will not cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

6.9.2 Subject to Section 6.2.1(c) of this Article VI, the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the limitation on a Person Constructively Owning Common Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit set forth in Section 6.2.1(b) of this Article VI if the Board determines that such Person does not and will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a tenant of the Corporation (or a tenant of any entity owned in whole or in part by the Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.8% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant or that any such ownership would not cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

6.9.3 Subject to Section 6.2.1(c) and the remainder of this Section 6.9.3, the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Ownership Limit for one or more Persons and decrease the Ownership Limit for all other Persons; provided, however, that the decreased Ownership Limit will not be effective for any Person whose percentage ownership in Common Stock is in excess of such decreased Ownership Limit until such time as such Person’s percentage of Common Stock equals or falls below the decreased Ownership Limit, but any further acquisition of Common Stock in excess of such percentage ownership of Common Stock will be in violation of the Ownership Limit, and, provided further, that the new Ownership Limit would not allow five or fewer Persons to Beneficially Own more than 49% in value of the outstanding Common Stock.

6.9.4 In granting a person an exemption under Section 6.9.1 or 6.9.2 above, the Board of Directors may require such Person to make certain representations or undertakings or to agree that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Section 6.2 of this Article VI) will result in such Common Stock being transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 6.2.2 of this Article VI. Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 6.9.1 or 6.9.2 of this Article VI, the Board of Directors may require a ruling from the IRS, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

Section 6.10 Legend.

6.10.1 Each certificate for Common Stock shall bear substantially the following legends in addition to any legends required to comply with federal and state securities law:

(a) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends, the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors and declared by the Corporation, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 7.625% per annum of the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock (equivalent to the fixed annual amount of $1.90625 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock). Such dividends shall accrue and be cumulative from and including the first date on which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are issued (as applicable, the “Original Issue Date”) and shall be payable quarterly in arrears on each Dividend Payment Date, commencing [________], 2013; provided, however, that if any Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the next succeeding Business Day, except that, if such Business Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The Corporation agrees that any and all accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) with respect to the MPG Preferred Accrual (as defined in the charter of Sub REIT) for each share of Sub REIT Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed accrued on each share of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Accrual”). The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any partial Dividend Period shall be prorated and computed on the basis of a 360‑day year consisting of twelve 30‑day months, Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stockholder records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable Dividend

Record Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend with respect to any Dividend Record Date equal to the dividend paid with respect to each other share of Series A Preferred Stock that is outstanding on such date. “Dividend Record Date” shall mean the date designated by the Board of Directors for the payment of dividends that is not more than 35 or less than 10 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date. “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean the last calendar day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on [________], 2013. “Dividend Period” shall mean the respective periods commencing on and including the first day of February, May, August and November of each year and ending on and including the day preceding the first day of the next succeeding Dividend Period (other than the initial Dividend Period, which shall commence on the Original Issue Date and end on and include [________], 2013, and other than the Dividend Period during which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Section 5, which shall end on and include the call date with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock being redeemed). For the avoidance of doubt, the Preferred Accrual shall be a payment obligation of the Corporation and treated as if constituting dividends accrued (whether or not declared) on such Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 3(a).

The term “Business Day” shall mean each day, other than a Saturday or a Sunday, which is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York are authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to close.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock shall accrue whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends, and whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared.

(c) Except as provided in Section 3(d) below, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment and no other distribution of cash or other property may be declared or made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect to any shares of Common Stock or shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (other than a dividend paid in shares of Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) for any period, nor shall any shares of Common Stock or any other shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration and no other distribution of cash or other property may be made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect thereto by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and except for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of the charter or Section 7 hereof), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods (including the Preferred Accrual) and the then current dividend period shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.

(d) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not so set apart) upon the Series A Preferred Stock and the shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of capital stock ranking, as to dividends, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of capital stock shall in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share on the Series A Preferred Stock and such other class or series of capital stock (which shall not include any accrual in respect of unpaid dividends on such other class or series of capital stock for prior dividend periods if such other class or series of capital stock does not have a cumulative dividend) bear to each other. No interest, or sum of money in lieu of interest, shall be payable in respect of any dividend payment or payments on the Series A Preferred Stock which may be in arrears (including the Preferred Accrual).

(e) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the Preferred Accrual and then against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

Section 4. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after payment or provision of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of payment (including the Preferred Accrual). In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of shares of capital stock ranking, as to voluntary or involuntary liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such

holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust or entity, or the voluntary sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

(b) In determining whether a distribution (other than upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation), by dividend, redemption or other acquisition of shares of stock of the Corporation or otherwise, is permitted under the MGCL, amounts that would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon dissolution of holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be added to the Corporation’s total liabilities.

Section 5. Redemption.

(a) The Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to the provisions of Section 7 pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Stock owned by a stockholder in excess of the Ownership Limit shall automatically be transferred to a Trust with the exclusive benefit of a Charitable Beneficiary (as defined in Section 7).

(b) From and after the date hereof, the Corporation, at its option upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ written notice, may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) thereon up to and including the date fixed for redemption (including the Preferred Accrual), without interest, to the extent the Corporation has funds legally available therefor. If fewer than all of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall be redeemed pro rata (as nearly as may be practicable without creating fractional shares) by lot or by any other equitable method determined by the Corporation that will not result in a violation of the Ownership Limit. If redemption is to be by lot and, as a result, any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock would have actual ownership or Constructive Ownership (as defined in Section 7(a)) in excess of the Ownership Limit (as defined in Section 7(a)), or such other limit as permitted by the Board of Directors or the Committee pursuant to Section 7(i), because such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock were not redeemed, or were only redeemed in part, then, except as otherwise provided in the charter, the Corporation shall redeem the requisite number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such holder such that no holder will hold an amount of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or such other limit, as applicable, subsequent to such redemption. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such Series A Preferred Stock at the place designated in such notice and shall be entitled to the redemption price of $25.00 per share and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption (including the Preferred Accrual) following such surrender. If (i) notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been given, (ii) the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption and (iii) irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the redemption price and all

accrued and unpaid dividends (including the Preferred Accrual), then from and after the redemption date, dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (including the Preferred Accrual) payable upon such redemption, without interest. So long as no dividends are in arrears, nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Corporation’s right or ability to purchase, from time to time either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series A Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Corporation may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law, including the repurchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by the Board of Directors.

(c) In the event of any redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock in order to preserve the status of the Corporation as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes, such redemption shall be made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 5(c). If the Corporation calls for redemption any shares of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to and in accordance with this Section 5(c), then the redemption price for such shares will be an amount in cash equal to $25.00 per share together with all accrued and unpaid dividends to and including the dated fixed for redemption (including the Preferred Accrual).

(d) Unless full cumulative dividends (including the Preferred Accrual) on all Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchange for shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and upon liquidation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of Series A Preferred Stock by the Corporation in accordance with the terms of Section 5(c) and Section 7 or otherwise in order to ensure that the Corporation remains qualified as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes or the purchase or acquisition of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

place or places where the certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, (v) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (vi) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock. If fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

(f) If a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, each holder of Series A Preferred Stock at the close of business of such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares on or prior to such Dividend Payment Date, and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock that surrenders its shares on such redemption date will be entitled to the dividends accruing after the end of the Dividend Period to which such Dividend Payment Date relates up to and including the redemption date. Except as provided herein, the Corporation shall make no payment or allowance for unpaid dividends, whether or not in arrears, on Series A Preferred Stock for which a notice of redemption has been given.

(g) All shares of the Series A Preferred Stock redeemed or repurchased pursuant to this Section 5(g) shall be retired and shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to series or class.

(h) The Series A Preferred Stock shall have no stated maturity and shall not be subject to any sinking fund or mandatory redemption; provided, however, that the Series A Preferred Stock owned by a stockholder in excess of the Ownership Limit shall be subject to the provisions of this Sections 5(h) and Section 7.

Section 6. Voting Rights.

(a) Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, except as set forth in this Section 6.

(c) The Preferred Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election for a one-year term and each Preferred Director will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until such Preferred Director’s right to hold the office terminates, whichever occurs earlier, subject to such Preferred Director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. The election will take place at (i) either (A) a special meeting called in

(d) From the Original Issue Date, a proper officer of the Corporation shall call or cause to be called, upon written request of holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and each class or series of other Parity Preferred by mailing or causing to be mailed to such holders a notice of such special meeting to be held not less than ten and not more than 45 days after the date such notice is given. The record date for determining holders of the Parity Preferred entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting will be the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such annual or special meeting, all of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and other Parity Preferred, by plurality vote, voting together as a single class without regard to class or series will be entitled to elect two directors on the basis of one vote per $25.00 of liquidation preference to which such Parity Preferred are entitled by their terms (excluding amounts in respect of accumulated and unpaid dividends) and not cumulatively.

Notice of all meetings at which holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote will be given to such holders at their addresses as they appear in the transfer records. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, subject to the provisions of any applicable law, a majority of the holders of the Parity Preferred present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Directors, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. If a Preferred Dividend Default shall terminate after the notice of a special meeting has been given but before such special meeting has been held, the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such termination, mail or cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Preferred Stock that would have been entitled to vote at such special meeting.

(e) Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the vote of, and shall not be removed otherwise than by the vote of, the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and other Parity Preferred entitled to vote thereon when they have the voting rights set forth in Section 6(d) (voting separately as a single class with all other classes or series of Parity Preferred).

Each of the Preferred Directors shall be entitled to one vote on any matter.

In addition, if the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock receive the greater of the full trading price of the Series A Preferred Stock on the date of an Event set forth in (ii) above or the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (ii) above, then such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the Events set forth in (ii) above. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote with respect to (A) any increase in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (B) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other class or series of capital stock, or (C) any increase in the number of authorized shares of any other class or series of capital stock, in each case referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above ranking on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation. Except as set forth herein, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights with respect to, and the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be required for, the taking of any corporate action, including an Event, regardless of the effect that such corporate action or Event may have upon the powers, preferences, voting power or other rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock.

Upon any purported Transfer or other event described in Section 7(b)(2), such Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been transferred to the Trustee in his capacity as trustee of a Trust for the exclusive benefit of one or more Charitable Beneficiaries.

Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, until the Corporation has received notification that the Series A Preferred Stock has been transferred into a Trust, the Corporation shall be entitled to rely on its share transfer and other stockholder records for purposes of preparing lists of stockholders entitled to vote at meetings, determining the validity and authority of proxies and otherwise conducting votes of stockholders.

4. Within 20 days of receiving notice from the Corporation that shares of Series A Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trust, the Trustee of the Trust shall sell the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in the Trust to a person, designated by the Trustee, whose ownership of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock will not violate the ownership limitations set forth in Section 7(b)(1). Upon such sale, the interest of the Charitable

Beneficiary in the shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Purported Record Transferee and to the Charitable Beneficiary as provided in this Section 7(c)(4). The Purported Record Transferee shall receive the lesser of (i) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, if the event which resulted in the transfer to the Trust did not involve a purchase of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock at Market Price, the Market Price of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Trust) and (ii) the price per share received by the Trustee (net of any commissions and other expenses of sale) from the sale or other disposition of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in the Trust. Any net sales proceeds in excess of the amount payable to the Purported Record Transferee shall be immediately paid to the Charitable Beneficiary together with any dividends or other distributions thereon. If, prior to the discovery by the Corporation that shares of such Series A Preferred Stock have been transferred to the Trustee, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock are sold by a Purported Record Transferee then (x) such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed to have been sold on behalf of the Trust and (y) to the extent that the Purported Record Transferee received an amount for such shares of Series A Preferred Stock that exceeds the amount that such Purported Record Transferee was entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 7(c)(4), such excess shall be paid to the Trustee upon demand.

5. Series A Preferred Stock transferred to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been offered for sale to the Corporation, or its designee, at a price per share equal to the lesser of (i) the price paid by the Purported Record Transferee for the shares of Series A Preferred Stock in the transaction that resulted in such transfer to the Trust (or, if the event which resulted in the transfer to the Trust did not involve a purchase of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock at Market Price, the Market Price of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the day of the event which resulted in the transfer of such shares of Series A Preferred Stock to the Trust) and (ii) the Market Price on the date the Corporation, or its designee, accepts such offer. The Corporation shall have the right to accept such offer until the Trustee has sold the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in the Trust pursuant to Section 7(c)(4). Upon such a sale to the Corporation, the interest of the Charitable Beneficiary in the shares of Series A Preferred Stock sold shall terminate and the Trustee shall distribute the net proceeds of the sale to the Purported Record Transferee and any dividends or other distributions held by the Trustee with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock shall thereupon be paid to the Charitable Beneficiary.

6. By written notice to the Trustee, the Corporation shall designate one or more nonprofit organizations to be the Charitable Beneficiary of the interest in the Trust such that (i) the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held in the Trust would not violate the restrictions set forth in Section 7(b)(1) in the hands of such Charitable Beneficiary and (ii) each Charitable Beneficiary is an organization described in Sections 170(b)(1)(A), 170(c)(2) and 501(c)(3) of the Code.

(d) Remedies For Breach. If the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or other designees if permitted by the MGCL shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or other event has taken place in violation of Section 7(b) or that a Person intends to acquire, has attempted to acquire or may acquire beneficial ownership (determined without reference to any rules of attribution), Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any

shares of the Corporation in violation of Section 7(b), the Board of Directors or a committee thereof or other designees if permitted by the MGCL shall take such action as it deems or they deem advisable to refuse to give effect or to prevent such Transfer, including, but not limited to, causing the Corporation to redeem shares of Series A Preferred Stock, refusing to give effect to such Transfer on the books of the Corporation or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer; provided, however, that any Transfers (or, in the case of events other than a Transfer, ownership or Constructive Ownership or Beneficial Ownership) in violation of Section 7(b)(1), shall automatically result in the transfer to a Trust as described in Section 7(b)(2) and any Transfer in violation of Section 7(b)(3) shall automatically be void ab initio irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Board of Directors.

(e) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts to acquire shares in violation of Section 7(b)(1), or any Person who is a Purported Beneficial Transferee such that an automatic transfer to a Trust results under Section 7(b)(2), shall immediately give written notice to the Corporation of such event and shall provide to the Corporation such other information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or attempted Transfer on the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

(f) Owners Required to Provide Information. Prior to the Restriction Termination Date, each Person who is a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall, on demand, provide to the Corporation a completed questionnaire containing the information regarding their ownership of such shares, as set forth in the regulations (as in effect from time to time) of the U.S. Department of Treasury under the Code. In addition, each Person who is a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner of shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each Person (including the stockholder of record) who is holding shares of Series A Preferred Stock for a beneficial owner or Beneficial Owner or Constructive Owner shall, on demand, be required to disclose to the Corporation in writing such information as the Corporation may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such stockholder’s actual and constructive ownership of shares of Series A Preferred Stock on the Corporation’s status as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the Ownership Limit, or as otherwise permitted by the Board of Directors.

(g) Remedies Not Limited. Nothing contained in this Section 7 shall limit the authority of the Board of Directors to take such other action as it deems necessary or advisable to protect the Corporation and the interests of its stockholders by preservation of the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

(h) Ambiguity. In the case of an ambiguity in the application of any of the provisions of this Section 7, including any definition contained in Section 7(a), the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the application of the provisions of this Section 7 with respect to any situation based on the facts known to it. In the event this Section 7 requires an action by the Board of Directors and the charter fails to provide specific guidance with respect to such action, the Board of Directors shall have the power to determine the action to be taken so long as such action is not contrary to the provisions of this Section 7. Absent a decision to the contrary by the Board of Directors (which the Board may make in its sole and absolute

discretion), if a Person would have (but for the remedies set forth in Section 7(b)(2)) acquired Beneficial or Constructive Ownership of Series A Preferred Stock in violation of Section 7(b)(1), such remedies (as applicable) shall apply first to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock which, but for such remedies, would have been actually owned by such Person, and second to shares of Series A Preferred Stock which, but for such remedies, would have been Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned (but not actually owned) by such Person, pro rata among the Persons who actually own such shares of Series A Preferred Stock based upon the relative number of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by each such Person.

(i) Exceptions.

1. Subject to Section 7(b)(1)(iii), the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the limitation, set forth in Section 7(b)(1)(i), on a Person Beneficially Owning shares of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, if the Board of Directors determines that such exemption will not cause any Individual’s Beneficial Ownership of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to violate the Ownership Limit and that any such exemption will not cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

2. Subject to Section 7(b)(1)(iii), the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the limitation, set forth in Section 7(b)(1)(ii), on a Person Constructively Owning Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit, if the Board of Directors determines that such Person does not and will not own, actually or Constructively, an interest in a tenant of the Corporation (or a tenant of any entity owned in whole or in part by the Corporation) that would cause the Corporation to own, actually or Constructively, more than a 9.8% interest (as set forth in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code) in such tenant or that any such ownership would not cause the Corporation to fail to qualify as a REIT under the Code.

3. Subject to Section 7(b)(1)(iii) and the remainder of this Section 7(i)(3), the Board of Directors may from time to time increase the Ownership Limit for one or more Persons and decrease the Ownership Limit for all other Persons; provided, however, that the decreased Ownership Limit will not be effective for any Person whose percentage ownership in Series A Preferred Stock is in excess of such decreased Ownership Limit until such time as such Person’s percentage of Series A Preferred Stock equals or falls below the decreased Ownership Limit, but any further acquisition of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of such percentage ownership of Series A Preferred Stock will be in violation of the Ownership Limit, and, provided further, that the new Ownership Limit would not allow five or fewer Persons to Beneficially Own more than 49% in value of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock.

4. In granting a person an exemption under Section 7(i)(1) or 7(i)(2) above, the Board of Directors may require such Person to make certain representations or undertakings or to agree that any violation or attempted violation of such representations or undertakings (or other action which is contrary to the restrictions contained in Section 7(b)) will result in such Series A Preferred Stock being transferred to a Trust in accordance with Section 7(b)(2). Prior to granting any exception pursuant to Section 7(i)(1) or 7(i)(2), the Board of Directors may require a ruling from the IRS, or an opinion of counsel, in either case in form and

substance satisfactory to the Board of Directors in its sole discretion, as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure the Corporation’s status as a REIT.

ARTICLES SUPPLEMENTARY

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INC.

125 Shares

12.5% Series B Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

FIRST: Under a power contained in Article V of the charter of the Corporation (as amended, the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), by duly adopted resolutions, classified and designated One Hundred and Twenty Five (125) shares of the authorized but unissued preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”) as 12.5% Series B Cumulative Non‑Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with the following preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption, which, upon filing of these Articles Supplementary, shall become part of the Articles of Incorporation, with any necessary or appropriate renumbering or relettering of the sections or subsections hereof:

(1) DESIGNATION AND NUMBER. A series of Preferred Stock, designated the “12.5% Series B Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock” (the “Series B Preferred Stock”), is hereby established. The total number of authorized shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be One Hundred and Twenty Five (125).

(2) RANK. Except for the 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series A Preferred Stock”), which shall rank senior to the Series B Preferred Stock with respect to dividend and redemption rights and rights upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the Series B Preferred Stock shall, with respect to dividend and redemption rights and rights upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, rank senior to all classes or series of shares of Common Stock (“Common Shares”) of the Corporation and to all other equity securities issued by the Corporation from time to time (together with the Common Shares, the “Junior Securities”). The term “equity securities” shall not include convertible debt securities unless and until such securities are converted into equity securities of the Corporation.

(3) DIVIDENDS.

of 12.5% per annum of the total of $1,000.00 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. Such dividends shall accrue on a daily basis and be cumulative from the first date on which any Series B Preferred Share is issued, such issue date to be contemporaneous with the receipt by the Corporation of subscription funds for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on or before June 30 and December 31 of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”); provided, however, that (i) if any Dividend Payment Date is not a business day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the preceding business day or the following business day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date and (ii) until all accrued dividends for all past dividend periods are paid to the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, including the Series A Preferred Stock and the Preferred Accrual (as defined in the charter) thereon, no dividends shall be paid to the Series B Preferred Stock. Any dividend payable on the Series B Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year consisting of twelve 30‑day months. A “dividend period” shall mean, with respect to the first “dividend period,” the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and including the first Dividend Payment Date, and with respect to each subsequent “dividend period,” the period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date or other date as of which accrued dividends are to be calculated. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the share records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or on such other date designated by the Board for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”).

(b) No dividends on shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared by the Corporation or paid or set apart for payment by the Corporation at such time as the terms and provisions of any written agreement between the Corporation and any party that is not an affiliate of the Corporation, including any agreement relating to its indebtedness, prohibit such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment or provide that such declaration, payment or setting apart for payment would constitute a breach thereof or a default thereunder, or if such declaration or payment shall be restricted or prohibited by law. For purposes of these Articles Supplementary, “affiliate” shall mean any party that controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Corporation.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall accrue whether or not the terms and provisions set forth in Section 3(b) hereof at any time prohibit the current payment of dividends, whether or not the Corporation has earnings, whether or not there are funds legally available for the payment of such dividends and whether or not such dividends are authorized or declared. Furthermore, dividends will be declared and paid when due in all events to the fullest extent permitted by law and except as provided in Section 3(b) above. Accrued but unpaid dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

dividends shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Junior Securities, respectively, nor shall any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Junior Securities, respectively, be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Junior Securities, respectively, and except for transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of the Articles of Incorporation).

(e) Unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series B Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon any shares of Junior Securities nor shall any shares of Junior Securities be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of Junior Securities and except for transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of the Articles of Incorporation).

(f) When dividends are not paid in full (or a sum sufficient for such full payment is not set apart) on the Series B Preferred Stock, all dividends declared upon the Series B Preferred Stock shall be declared and paid pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding.

(g) Any dividend payment made on shares of the Series B Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividend due with respect to such shares which remains payable. Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock as described above.

(4) LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation (each a “Liquidation Event”), the holders of shares of Series B Preferred Stock then outstanding are entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after payment or provision of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation and after any payment due to the holders of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock and any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, a liquidation preference equal to the sum of the following (collectively, the “Liquidation Preference”): (i) $1,000.00 per share, (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon through and including the date of payment, and (iii) if the Liquidation Event occurs before the Redemption Premium (as defined below) right expires, the per share Redemption Premium in effect on the date of payment of the Liquidation Preference, before any distribution of assets is made to holders of any Junior Securities. In the event that the Corporation elects to set aside the Liquidation Preference for payment, the Series B Preferred Shares shall remain outstanding until the holders thereof are paid the full Liquidation Preference, which payment shall be made no later than immediately prior to the Corporation making its final

liquidating distribution on the Common Shares. In the event that the Redemption Premium in effect on the payment date is less than the Redemption Premium on the date that the Liquidation Preference was set apart for payment, the Corporation may make a corresponding reduction to the funds set apart for payment of the Liquidation Preference.

(b) If, upon any such Liquidation Event, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the full amount of the Liquidation Preference on all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock, then the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full Liquidation Preference to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(c) After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference to which they are entitled, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation.

(d) Upon the Corporation’s provision of written notice as to the effective date of any such Liquidation Event, accompanied by a check in the amount of the full Liquidation Preference to which each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled, the Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding shares of the Corporation and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate. Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre‑paid, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Corporation.

(e) The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other business enterprise or of any other business enterprise with or into the Corporation, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to constitute a Liquidation Event; provided, however, that any such transaction which results in an amendment, restatement or replacement of the charter that has a material adverse effect on the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock, or that increases the number of authorized or issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shall be deemed a Liquidation Event for purposes of determining whether the Liquidation Preference is payable unless the right to receive payment is waived by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class.

(5) REDEMPTION.

(a) Right of Optional Redemption. The Corporation, at its option, may redeem shares of the Series B Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, for cash at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to $1,000.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for redemption (except as provided in Section 5(c) below), plus a redemption premium per share (each, a “Redemption Premium”) calculated as follows based on the date fixed for redemption:

(1) until December 31, 2015, $100, and

(2) thereafter, no Redemption Premium.

If less than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed may be selected by any equitable method determined by the Corporation provided that such method does not result in the creation of fractional shares.

(b) Limitations on Redemption.

(i) Unless full cumulative dividends (including the Preferred Accrual) on all Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock by the Corporation in order to ensure that the Corporation remains qualified as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes.

(ii) Unless full cumulative dividends on all Series B Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior to the Series B Preferred Stock (except by exchange for shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and upon liquidation, junior to the Series B Preferred Stock); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock by the Corporation in order to ensure that the Corporation remains qualified as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes or the purchase or acquisition of Series B Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock.

(c) Rights to Dividends on Shares Called for Redemption. Immediately prior to or upon any redemption of Series B Preferred Stock, the Corporation shall pay, in cash, any accumulated and unpaid dividends to and including the redemption date, unless a redemption date falls after a Dividend Record Date and prior to the corresponding Dividend Payment Date, in which case each holder of Series B Preferred Stock at the close of business on such Dividend Record Date shall be entitled to the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the redemption of such shares before such Dividend Payment Date.

(d) Procedures for Redemption.

(i) Upon the Corporation’s provision of written notice as to the effective date of the redemption, accompanied by a check in the amount of the full Redemption Price through such effective date to which each record holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed and shall no longer be deemed outstanding shares of the Corporation and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate. Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

(ii) In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which Series B Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, such notice shall state: (A) the redemption date; (B) the Redemption Price; (C) the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed; (D) the place or places where the Series B Preferred Stock are to be surrendered (if so required in the notice) for payment of the Redemption Price (if not otherwise included with the notice); and (E) that dividends on the shares to be redeemed will cease to accrue on such redemption date. If less than all of the Series B Preferred Stock held by any holder is to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

(iii) If notice of redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock has been given and if the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Corporation for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock so called for redemption, then, from and after the redemption date, dividends will cease to accrue on such shares of Series B Preferred Stock, such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the Redemption Price. If the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state, holders of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender the certificates evidencing such Series B Preferred Stock, to the extent that such shares are certificated, at the place designated in such notice and, upon surrender in accordance with said notice of the certificates for shares of Series B Preferred Stock so redeemed (properly endorsed or assigned for transfer, if the Corporation shall so require and the notice shall so state), such shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed by the Corporation at the Redemption Price. In case less than all of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock evidenced by any such certificate are redeemed, a new certificate or certificates shall be issued evidencing the unredeemed shares of Series B Preferred Stock without cost to the holder thereof. In the event that the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed are uncertificated, such shares shall be redeemed in accordance with the

notice and no further action on the part of the holders of such shares shall be required.

(iv) The deposit of funds with a bank or trust corporation for the purpose of redeeming Series B Preferred Stock shall be irrevocable except that:

(A) the Corporation shall be entitled to receive from such bank or trust corporation the interest or other earnings, if any, earned on any money so deposited in trust, and the holders of any shares redeemed shall have no claim to such interest or other earnings; and

(B) any balance of monies so deposited by the Corporation and unclaimed by the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock entitled thereto at the expiration of two years from the applicable redemption dates shall be repaid, together with any interest or other earnings thereon, to the Corporation, and after any such repayment, the holders of the shares entitled to the funds so repaid to the Corporation shall look only to the Corporation for payment of the Redemption Price without interest or other earnings.

(e) Status of Redeemed Shares. Any shares of Series B Preferred Stock that shall at any time have been redeemed or otherwise acquired by the Corporation shall, after such redemption or acquisition, have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Series B Preferred Stock which may be issued by the Board from time to time at its discretion.

(6) VOTING RIGHTS. Except as provided in this Section, the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote on any matter submitted to the stockholders of the Corporation for a vote. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the consent of the holders of a majority of the outstanding Series B Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, shall be required for (a) except for the Series A Preferred Stock, authorization or issuance of any equity security of the Corporation senior to or on a parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, (b) any amendment to the Corporation’s charter which has a material adverse effect on the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock or which increases the number of authorized or issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock, or (c) any reclassification of the Series B Preferred Stock.

(7) CONVERSION. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation.

BYLAWS

ARTICLE I

OFFICES

Section 1 Principal Office. The principal office of the Corporation in the State of Maryland shall be located at such place as the board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of the Corporation may designate.

Section 2 Additional Offices. The Corporation may have additional offices, including a principal executive office, at such place or places as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine or the business of the Corporation may require.

ARTICLE II

MEETINGS OF STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1 Place. All meetings of stockholders shall be held at the principal executive office of the Corporation or at such other place as shall be set by the Board of Directors and stated in the notice of the meeting.

Section 2 Annual Meeting. An annual meeting of the stockholders for the election of directors and the transaction of any business within the powers of the Corporation shall be held on the date and at the time set by the Board of Directors. Failure to hold an annual meeting does not invalidate the Corporation’s existence or affect any otherwise valid corporate acts.

Section 3 Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders, for any purpose or purposes prescribed in the notice of the meeting, may be called by the Board of Directors or the chief executive officer and shall be held at such place, on such date, and at such time as they or he or she shall fix.

Section 4 Notice. Not less than ten (10) nor more than ninety (90) days before each meeting of stockholders, the secretary shall give to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each stockholder not entitled to vote but who is entitled to notice of the meeting written or printed notice stating the time and place of the meeting and, in the case of a special meeting or as otherwise may be required by any statute, the purpose for which the meeting is called, either by mail, by presenting it to such stockholder personally, by leaving it at the stockholder’s residence or usual place of business or by any other means permitted by Maryland law. If mailed, such notice shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail addressed to the stockholder at the stockholder’s address as it appears on the records of the Corporation, with postage thereon prepaid. A single notice shall be effective as to all

stockholders who share an address, except to the extent that a stockholder at such address objects to such single notice. Failure to give notice of any meeting to one or more stockholders, or any irregularity in such notice, shall not affect the validity of any meeting fixed in accordance with this Article II, or the validity of any proceedings at any such meeting.

Subject to Section 11 of this Article II, any business of the Corporation may be transacted at an annual meeting of stockholders without being specifically designated in the notice, except such business as is required by any statute to be stated in such notice. No business shall be transacted at a special meeting of stockholders except as specifically designated in the notice. The Corporation may postpone or cancel a meeting of stockholders by giving written notice to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting and to each stockholder not entitled to vote but who is entitled to notice of such meeting.

Section 5 Organization and Conduct. Such person as the Board of Directors may have designated or, in the absence of such a person, the president of the Corporation or, in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, shall call to order any meeting of the stockholders and act as chairman of the meeting. In the absence of the secretary of the Corporation, the secretary of the meeting shall be such person as the chairman of the meeting appoints. The chairman of any meeting of stockholders shall determine the order of business and the procedure at the meeting, including such regulation of the manner of voting and the conduct of discussion as seem to him or her in order. The date and time of the opening and closing of the polls for each matter upon which the stockholders will vote at the meeting shall be announced at the meeting.

Section 6 Quorum; Adjournments. At any meeting of stockholders, the presence in person or by proxy of stockholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting on any matter shall constitute a quorum; but this Section 6 shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the charter of the Corporation for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. If, however, such quorum shall not be present at any meeting of the stockholders, the chairman of the meeting or the stockholders entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have the power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than one hundred twenty (120) days after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally notified.

The stockholders present either in person or by proxy, at a meeting which has been duly called and at which a quorum was established, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

Section 7 Voting. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to elect a director. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are directors to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted. A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any

other matter which may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes cast is required by statute or by the charter of the Corporation. Unless otherwise provided by statute or the charter of the Corporation, each outstanding share, regardless of class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a meeting of stockholders.

Section 8 Proxies. A stockholder may cast the votes entitled to be cast by the holder of the shares of stock owned of record by the stockholder in person or by proxy executed by the stockholder or by the stockholder’s duly authorized agent in any manner permitted by law. Such proxy or evidence of authorization of such proxy shall be filed with the secretary of the Corporation before or at the meeting. No proxy shall be valid more than eleven months after its date unless otherwise provided in the proxy.

Section 9 Voting of Stock by Certain Holders. Stock of the Corporation registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, a general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been appointed to vote such stock pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the governing body of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners of a partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or agreement, in which case such person may vote such stock. Any director or other fiduciary may vote stock registered in his or her name in his or her capacity as such fiduciary, either in person or by proxy.

Shares of stock of the Corporation directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

The Board of Directors may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a stockholder may certify in writing to the Corporation that any shares of stock registered in the name of the stockholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the stockholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of stockholders who may make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the certification is with respect to a record date, the time after the record date within which the certification must be received by the Corporation; and any other provisions with respect to the procedure which the Board of Directors considers necessary or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the certification, the stockholder of record of the specified stock in place of the stockholder who makes the certification.

Section 10 Inspectors. The Board of Directors may appoint, before or at the meeting, one or more inspectors for the meeting and any successor thereto. The inspectors, if any, shall (i) determine the number of shares of stock represented at the meeting, in person or by proxy and the validity and effect of proxies, (ii) receive and tabulate all votes, ballots or consents, (iii) report such tabulation to the chair of the meeting, (iv) hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, and (v) do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. Each such report shall be

in writing and signed by him or her or by a majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima facie evidence thereof.

Section 11 Consent of Stockholders in Lieu of Meeting. Any action required to be taken at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation, or any action which may be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and shall be delivered to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in Maryland, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the Corporation having custody of the book in which proceedings of meetings of stockholders are recorded. Delivery made to the Corporation’s registered office shall be made by hand or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested.

Every written consent shall bear the date of signature of each stockholder who signs the consent and no written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty (60) days of the date the earliest dated consent is delivered to the Corporation, a written consent or consents signed by a sufficient number of holders to take action are delivered to the Corporation in the manner prescribed in the first paragraph of this Section. A telegram, cablegram or other electronic transmission consenting to an action to be taken and transmitted by a stockholder or proxyholder, or by a person or persons authorized to act for a stockholder or proxyholder, shall be deemed to be written, signed and dated for the purposes of this Section to the extent permitted by law. Any such consent shall be delivered in accordance with the MGCL.

Any copy, facsimile or other reliable reproduction of a consent in writing may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing for any and all purposes for which the original writing could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing

Section 12 Voting by Ballot. Voting on any question or in any election may be viva voce unless the presiding officer shall order or any stockholder shall demand that voting be by ballot.

Section 13 Meeting by Conference Telephone. Stockholders may participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or other communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means constitutes presence in person at a meeting.

Section 14 Control Share Acquisition Act. Notwithstanding any other provision of the charter of the Corporation or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”) (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of stock of the Corporation. This Section 14 may be repealed, in whole or in part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares

and, upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.

FIRST: Pursuant to the authority expressly vested in the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board of Directors”) by Article V of the charter of the Corporation, filed with the Department on April 19, 2013, and Section 2-105 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (the “MGCL”), the Board of Directors, by resolutions duly adopted on April 19, 2013, has (i) authorized the classification and designation of 10,000,000 shares of the authorized but unissued preferred stock of the Corporation, par value $0.01 per share (“Preferred Stock”), as a separate class of Preferred Stock, (ii) authorized filing of these Articles Supplementary with the Department in order to set forth the preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, transfers, qualifications, terms and conditions of redemption and other terms and conditions of such class of Preferred Stock, and (iii) authorized the issuance of a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of such class of Preferred Stock to former holders of the 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock issued by MPG Office Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“MPG”), in exchange for shares of such preferred stock of MPG pursuant to the merger (the “Merger”) of MPG with and into the Surviving REIT (as defined below) contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 24, 2013 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Brookfield DTLA Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, the Corporation, Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Surviving REIT”), Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties LLC, a Maryland limited liability company, MPG and MPG Office, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership.

Section 1. Designation and Number. A series of Preferred Stock, designated the “7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock” (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) is hereby established, which for all purposes shall (i) be treated as a continuation of the authorized preferred stock issued by MPG (the “MPG Preferred Stock”) in accordance with that certain board resolution adopted on January 9, 2004 by the board of directors of MPG, and that certain Articles Supplementary of MPG, dated as of January 15, 2004 and filed with SDAT on January 16, 2004 (the “MPG Preferred Articles”), such MPG Preferred Stock to be cancelled and exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with the Merger Agreement and (ii) subject to certain waivers of the Ownership Limits set forth in Section 7, have the same terms and conditions as the Series A Terms (as defined in the MPG Preferred Articles). The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be 10,000,000.

Section 3. Dividends.

calendar year, such payment shall be made on the immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date, and no interest or additional dividends or other sums shall accrue on the amount so payable from such Dividend Payment Date to such next succeeding Business Day. The Corporation agrees that any and all accrued but unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) on each share of MPG Preferred Stock in exchange for which a share of Series A Preferred Stock is issued pursuant to the Merger, shall be treated for purposes of these Articles Supplementary as if accrued by the Corporation with respect to such share of the Series A Preferred Stock and shall continue to be deemed accrued thereon as if accrued on the Series A Preferred Stock prior to the Original Issue Date and otherwise in accordance with this Section 3(a) (such amount with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock, the “MPG Preferred Accrual”). The amount of any dividend payable on the Series A Preferred Stock for any partial Dividend Period shall be prorated and computed on the basis of a 360‑day year consisting of twelve 30‑day months, Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the stockholder records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable Dividend Record Date. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive a dividend with respect to any Dividend Record Date equal to the dividend paid with respect to each other share of Series A Preferred Stock that is outstanding on such date. “Dividend Record Date” shall mean the date designated by the Board of Directors for the payment of dividends that is not more than 35 or less than 10 days prior to the applicable Dividend Payment Date. “Dividend Payment Date” shall mean the last calendar day of each January, April, July and October, commencing on [________], 2013. “Dividend Period” shall mean the respective periods commencing on and including the first day of February, May, August and November of each year and ending on and including the day preceding the first day of the next succeeding Dividend Period (other than the initial Dividend Period, which shall commence on the Original Issue Date and end on and include [________], 2013, and other than the Dividend Period during which any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed pursuant to Section 5, which shall end on and include the call date with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock being redeemed). For the avoidance of doubt, the MPG Preferred Accrual with respect to each share of MPG Preferred Stock as of the date such MPG Preferred Stock is exchanged for Series A Preferred Stock shall be a payment obligation of the Corporation and treated as if constituting dividends accrued (whether or not declared) on such Series A Preferred Stock in accordance with this Section 3(a).

Common Stock or in shares of any other class or series of capital stock ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation) for any period, nor shall any shares of Common Stock or any other shares of any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration and no other distribution of cash or other property may be made, directly or indirectly, on or with respect thereto by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking junior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and upon liquidation and except for the acquisition of shares made pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of the charter or Section 7 hereof), unless full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods (including the MPG Preferred Accrual) and the then current dividend period shall have been or contemporaneously are (i) declared and paid in cash or (ii) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.

(e) Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividend, whether payable in cash, property or shares of stock, in excess of full cumulative dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock as provided herein. Any dividend payment made on the Series A Preferred Stock shall first be credited against the MPG Preferred Accrual and then against the earliest accrued but unpaid dividends due with respect to such shares which remains payable. Accrued but unpaid distributions on the Series A Preferred Stock will accumulate as of the Dividend Payment Date on which they first become payable.

Section 4. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding‑up of the affairs of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to holders of shares of Common Stock or any other class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to rights upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation legally available for distribution to its stockholders, after payment or provision of the debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, plus an amount equal

to any accrued and unpaid dividends (whether or not declared) to the date of payment (including the MPG Preferred Accrual). In the event that, upon such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the available assets of the Corporation are insufficient to pay the amount of the liquidating distributions on all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock and the corresponding amounts payable on all shares of other classes or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock in the distribution of assets, then the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and each such other class or series of shares of capital stock ranking, as to voluntary or involuntary liquidation rights, on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any such distribution of assets in proportion to the full liquidating distributions to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled. Written notice of any such voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Corporation, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the amounts distributable in such circumstances shall be payable, shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the payment date stated therein, to each record holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the respective addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the stock transfer records of the Corporation. After payment of the full amount of the liquidating distributions to which they are entitled, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of the Corporation. The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other corporation, trust or entity, or the voluntary sale, lease, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to constitute a liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Corporation.

Section 5. Redemption.

lot and, as a result, any holder of shares of Series A Preferred Stock would have actual ownership or Constructive Ownership (as defined in Section 7(a)) in excess of the Ownership Limit (as defined in Section 7(a)), or such other limit as permitted by the Board of Directors or the Committee pursuant to Section 7(i), because such holder’s shares of Series A Preferred Stock were not redeemed, or were only redeemed in part, then, except as otherwise provided in the charter, the Corporation shall redeem the requisite number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock of such holder such that no holder will hold an amount of Series A Preferred Stock in excess of the Ownership Limit or such other limit, as applicable, subsequent to such redemption. Holders of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall surrender such Series A Preferred Stock at the place designated in such notice and shall be entitled to the redemption price of $25.00 per share and any accrued and unpaid dividends payable upon such redemption (including the MPG Preferred Accrual) following such surrender. If (i) notice of redemption of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock has been given, (ii) the funds necessary for such redemption have been set aside by the Corporation in trust for the benefit of the holders of any shares of Series A Preferred Stock so called for redemption and (iii) irrevocable instructions have been given to pay the redemption price and all accrued and unpaid dividends (including the MPG Preferred Accrual), then from and after the redemption date, dividends shall cease to accrue on such shares of Series A Preferred Stock, such shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate, except the right to receive the redemption price plus any accrued and unpaid dividends (including the MPG Preferred Accrual) payable upon such redemption, without interest. So long as no dividends are in arrears, nothing herein shall prevent or restrict the Corporation’s right or ability to purchase, from time to time either at a public or a private sale, all or any part of the Series A Preferred Stock at such price or prices as the Corporation may determine, subject to the provisions of applicable law, including the repurchase of shares of Series A Preferred Stock in open-market transactions duly authorized by the Board of Directors.

(d) Unless full cumulative dividends (including the MPG Preferred Accrual) on all Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed and the Corporation shall not purchase or otherwise acquire directly or indirectly any shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends or upon liquidation, on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock (except by exchange for shares of capital stock of the Corporation ranking, as to dividends and upon liquidation, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of Series A Preferred Stock by the Corporation in

accordance with the terms of Section 5(c) and Section 7 or otherwise in order to ensure that the Corporation remains qualified as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes or the purchase or acquisition of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a purchase or exchange offer made on the same terms to holders of all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.

(e) Notice of redemption will be given by publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City of New York, such publication to be made once a week for two successive weeks commencing not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. A similar notice will be mailed by the Corporation, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, addressed to the respective holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed at their respective addresses as they appear on the transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give or defect in such notice shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Series A Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom such notice was defective or not given. In addition to any information required by law or by the applicable rules of any exchange upon which the Series A Preferred Stock may be listed or admitted to trading, each such notice shall state: (i) the redemption date, (ii) the redemption price, (iii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed, (iv) the place or places where the certificates representing shares of Series A Preferred Stock are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, (v) that dividends on the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be redeemed will cease to accumulate on such redemption date and (vi) that payment of the redemption price and any accumulated and unpaid dividends will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Series A Preferred Stock. If fewer than all of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by any holder are to be redeemed, the notice mailed to such holder shall also specify the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock held by such holder to be redeemed.

Section 6. Voting Rights.

(a) Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights, except as set forth in this Section 6.

(b) Whenever (i) dividends on any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be in arrears for six or more consecutive or non-consecutive quarterly periods (a “Preferred Dividend Default”), or (ii) any of the MPG Preferred Accrual remains unpaid with respect to any shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of parity preferred stock of the Corporation upon which like voting rights have been conferred and are exercisable (“Parity Preferred”)) shall be entitled to vote for the election of a total of two additional directors of the Corporation (the “Preferred Directors”) at the next annual or special meeting of stockholders and at each subsequent meeting until all dividends accumulated on such Series A Preferred Stock and Parity Preferred for the past dividend periods and the then current dividend period shall have been fully paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set aside for payment. In such case, the entire Board of Directors will be increased by two directors. For the avoidance of doubt, the holders of such Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote for the election of the Preferred Directors as described in the foregoing sentence from the Original Issue Date.

(c) The Preferred Directors will be elected by a plurality of the votes cast in the election for a one‑year term and each Preferred Director will serve until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified or until such Preferred Director’s right to hold the office terminates, whichever occurs earlier, subject to such Preferred Director’s earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. The election will take place at (i) either (A) a special meeting called in accordance with Section 6(d) below if the request is received more than 90 before the date fixed for the Corporation’s next annual or special meeting of stockholders or (B) the next annual or special meeting of stockholders if the request is received within 90 days of the date fixed for the Corporation’s next annual or special meeting of stockholders and (ii) at each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders or special meeting held in place thereof, until all such dividends in arrears and dividends for the current quarterly period and the MPG Preferred Accrual on the Series A Preferred Stock and each such class or series of outstanding Parity Preferred have been paid in full. A dividend in respect of Series A Preferred Stock shall be considered timely made if made within two Business Days after the applicable Dividend Payment Date if at the time of such late payment date there shall not be any prior quarterly dividend periods in respect of which full dividends were not timely made at the applicable Dividend Payment Date.

(d) At any time when such voting rights shall have vested, a proper officer of the Corporation shall call or cause to be called, upon written request of holders of record of at least 10% of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock, a special meeting of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and each class or series of other Parity Preferred by mailing or causing to be mailed to such holders a notice of such special meeting to be held not less than ten and not more than 45 days after the date such notice is given. The record date for determining holders of the Parity Preferred entitled to notice of and to vote at such special meeting will be the close of business on the third Business Day preceding the day on which such notice is mailed. At any such annual or special meeting, all of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock and other Parity Preferred, by plurality vote, voting together as a single class without regard to class or

series will be entitled to elect two directors on the basis of one vote per $25.00 of liquidation preference to which such Parity Preferred are entitled by their terms (excluding amounts in respect of accumulated and unpaid dividends) and not cumulatively. The holder or holders of one‑third of the Parity Preferred then outstanding, present in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the election of the Preferred Directors except as otherwise provided by law. Notice of all meetings at which holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote will be given to such holders at their addresses as they appear in the transfer records. At any such meeting or adjournment thereof in the absence of a quorum, subject to the provisions of any applicable law, a majority of the holders of the Parity Preferred present in person or by proxy shall have the power to adjourn the meeting for the election of the Preferred Directors, without notice other than an announcement at the meeting, until a quorum is present. If a Preferred Dividend Default shall terminate after the notice of a special meeting has been given but before such special meeting has been held, the Corporation shall, as soon as practicable after such termination, mail or cause to be mailed notice of such termination to holders of the Preferred Stock that would have been entitled to vote at such special meeting.

(e) If and when all accumulated dividends and the MPG Preferred Accrual shall have been paid on the Series A Preferred Stock and all accumulated dividends shall have been paid on all classes or series of Parity Preferred, the right of the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and the Parity Preferred to elect such additional two directors shall immediately cease (subject to revesting in the event of each and every Preferred Dividend Default), and the term of office of each Preferred Director so elected shall terminate and the entire Board of Directors shall be reduced accordingly. Any Preferred Director may be removed at any time with or without cause by the vote of, and shall not be removed otherwise than by the vote of, the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock and other Parity Preferred entitled to vote thereon when they have the voting rights set forth in Section 6(d) (voting separately as a single class with all other classes or series of Parity Preferred). So long as a Preferred Dividend Default shall continue or the MPG Preferred Accrual shall remain unpaid, any vacancy in the office of a Preferred Director may be filled by written consent of the Preferred Director remaining in office, or if none remains in office, by a vote of the holders of record of a majority of the outstanding Series A Preferred Stock when they have the voting rights described above (voting as a single class with all other classes or series of Parity Preferred). Each of the Preferred Directors shall be entitled to one vote on any matter.

(f) So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock remain outstanding, the affirmative vote or consent of the holders of two-thirds of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock and each other class or series of Parity Preferred outstanding at the time, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or at a meeting (voting as a single class) will be required to: (i) authorize, create, issue or increase (or cause or permit to be authorized, created, issued or increased) the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding‑up of the affairs of the Corporation or reclassify any authorized shares of capital stock of the Corporation into such capital stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such capital stock; (ii) authorize, create, issue or increase (or caused to be authorized, created, issued or increased) the authorized or issued amount of, any class or series of capital stock ranking senior to the 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock of the Surviving REIT

(the “Surviving REIT Series A Preferred Stock”) with respect to payment of dividends or the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Surviving REIT or reclassify any authorized shares of capital stock of the Surviving REIT into such capital stock, or create, authorize or issue any obligation or security convertible into or evidencing the right to purchase any such capital stock or (iii) amend, alter or repeal (or cause to be amended, altered or repealed) the provisions of the charter, the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, the charter of the Surviving REIT or the terms of the Surviving REIT Series A Preferred Stock, whether by merger, consolidation, transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of its assets or otherwise (an “Event”), so as to materially and adversely affect any right, preference, privilege or voting power of the Series A Preferred Stock; provided however, with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (iii) above, so long as the Series A Preferred Stock remains outstanding with the terms thereof materially unchanged, taking into account that, upon the occurrence of an Event, the Corporation or the Surviving REIT, as applicable, may not be the surviving entity, the occurrence of such Event shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect such rights, preferences, privileges or voting power of holders of Series A Preferred Stock, and in such case such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (iii) above. In addition, if the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock receive the greater of the full trading price of the Series A Preferred Stock on the date of an Event set forth in (iii) above or the $25.00 liquidation preference per share of the Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to the occurrence of any of the Events set forth in (iii) above, then such holders shall not have any voting rights with respect to the Events set forth in (iii) above. Holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to vote with respect to (A) any increase in the total number of authorized shares of Common Stock or Preferred Stock of the Corporation, or (B) any increase in the amount of the authorized Preferred Stock or the creation or issuance of any other class or series of capital stock, or (C) any increase in the number of authorized shares of any other class or series of capital stock, in each case referred to in clause (A), (B) or (C) above ranking on parity with or junior to the Series A Preferred Stock with respect to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding‑up of the Corporation. Except as set forth herein, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not have any voting rights with respect to, and the consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall not be required for, the taking of any corporate action, including an Event, regardless of the effect that such corporate action or Event may have upon the powers, preferences, voting power or other rights or privileges of the Series A Preferred Stock.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

125 Shares

12.5% Series B Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”), hereby certifies to the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland that:

FIRST: Under a power contained in Article V of the charter of the Corporation (as amended, the “Articles of Incorporation”), the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), by duly adopted resolutions, classified and designated One Hundred and Twenty Five (125) shares of the authorized but unissued preferred stock of the Corporation (the “Preferred Stock”) as 12.5% Series B Cumulative Non-Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, with the following preferences, conversion and other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends and other distributions, qualifications, and terms and conditions of redemption, which, upon filing of these Articles Supplementary, shall become part of the Articles of Incorporation, with any necessary or appropriate renumbering or relettering of the sections or subsections hereof:

(3) DIVIDENDS.

(a) Subject to the preferential rights of the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends (including the Series A Preferred Stock), each holder of the then outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when and as authorized by the Board, out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends, cumulative preferential cash dividends at the rate of 12.5% per annum of the total of $1,000.00 per share plus all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon. Such dividends shall accrue on a daily basis and be cumulative from the first date on which any Series B Preferred Share is issued, such issue date to be contemporaneous

with the receipt by the Corporation of subscription funds for the Series B Preferred Stock (the “Original Issue Date”), and shall be payable semi-annually in arrears on or before June 30 and December 31 of each year (each a “Dividend Payment Date”); provided, however, that (i) if any Dividend Payment Date is not a business day, then the dividend which would otherwise have been payable on such Dividend Payment Date may be paid on the preceding business day or the following business day with the same force and effect as if paid on such Dividend Payment Date and (ii) until all accrued dividends for all past dividend periods are paid to the holders of any class or series of capital stock of the Corporation ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, including the Series A Preferred Stock and the MPG Preferred Accrual (as defined in the charter) thereon, no dividends shall be paid to the Series B Preferred Stock. Any dividend payable on the Series B Preferred Stock will be computed on the basis of a 360‑day year consisting of twelve 30‑day months. A “dividend period” shall mean, with respect to the first “dividend period,” the period from and including the Original Issue Date to and including the first Dividend Payment Date, and with respect to each subsequent “dividend period,” the period from but excluding a Dividend Payment Date to and including the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date or other date as of which accrued dividends are to be calculated. Dividends will be payable to holders of record as they appear in the share records of the Corporation at the close of business on the applicable record date, which shall be the fifteenth day of the calendar month in which the applicable Dividend Payment Date falls or on such other date designated by the Board for the payment of dividends that is not more than 30 nor less than 10 days prior to such Dividend Payment Date (each, a “Dividend Record Date”).

(d) Unless full cumulative dividends on all outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock have been or contemporaneously are declared and paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof is set apart for payment for all past dividend periods, no dividends shall be declared or paid or set aside for payment nor shall any other distribution be declared or made upon any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Junior Securities, respectively, nor shall any shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Junior Securities, respectively, be redeemed,

purchased or otherwise acquired for any consideration (or any moneys be paid to or made available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any such shares) by the Corporation (except by conversion into or exchange for other shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Junior Securities, respectively, and except for transfers made pursuant to the provisions of Article VI of the Articles of Incorporation).

(4) LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

Preference was set apart for payment, the Corporation may make a corresponding reduction to the funds set apart for payment of the Liquidation Preference.

(d) Upon the Corporation’s provision of written notice as to the effective date of any such Liquidation Event, accompanied by a check in the amount of the full Liquidation Preference to which each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled, the Series B Preferred Stock shall no longer be deemed outstanding shares of the Corporation and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate. Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Corporation.

(e) The consolidation or merger of the Corporation with or into any other business enterprise or of any other business enterprise with or into the Corporation, or the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the Corporation, shall not be deemed to constitute a Liquidation Event; provided, however that any such transaction which results in an amendment, restatement or replacement of the charter that has a material adverse effect on the rights and preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock, or that increases the number of authorized or issued shares of Series B Preferred Stock, shall be deemed a Liquidation Event for purposes of determining whether the Liquidation Preference is payable unless the right to receive payment is waived by holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock voting as a separate class.

(5) REDEMPTION.

(1) until December 31, 2015, $100, and

(2) thereafter, no Redemption Premium.

If less than all of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock are to be redeemed, the shares of Series B Preferred Stock to be redeemed may be selected by any equitable method

determined by the Corporation provided that such method does not result in the creation of fractional shares.

(b) Limitations on Redemption.

(i) Unless full cumulative dividends (including the MPG Preferred Accrual) on all Series A Preferred Stock shall have been or contemporaneously are authorized, declared and paid in cash or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash set apart for payment for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period, no shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed unless all outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock are simultaneously redeemed; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prevent the purchase of Series B Preferred Stock by the Corporation in order to ensure that the Corporation remains qualified as a REIT for United States federal income tax purposes.

(d) Procedures for Redemption.

(i) Upon the Corporation’s provision of written notice as to the effective date of the redemption, accompanied by a check in the amount of the full Redemption

Price through such effective date to which each record holder of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled, the Series B Preferred Stock shall be redeemed and shall no longer be deemed outstanding shares of the Corporation and all rights of the holders of such shares will terminate. Such notice shall be given by first class mail, postage pre-paid, to each record holder of the Series B Preferred Stock at the respective mailing addresses of such holders as the same shall appear on the share transfer records of the Corporation. No failure to give such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any shares of Series B Preferred Stock except as to the holder to whom notice was defective or not given.

(iv) The deposit of funds with a bank or trust corporation for the purpose of redeeming Series B Preferred Stock shall be irrevocable except that:

(7) CONVERSION. The shares of Series B Preferred Stock are not convertible into or exchangeable for any other property or securities of the Corporation.

SECOND: The Series B Preferred Stock has been classified and designated by the Board under the authority contained in Article V of the charter.

Form of Guarantee

[See Attached]

Exhibit E

GUARANTEE

This Guarantee is made and entered into as of April 24, 2013 (the “Guarantee”) by and between Brookfield Office Properties Inc., an Ontario corporation (“Guarantor”), and MPG Office Trust, Inc., a Maryland Corporation (the “Company”). Except as specified herein, capitalized terms used in this Guarantee shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of the date hereof, by and among Brookfield DTLA Holdings L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Parent”), Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Sub REIT”), Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation (“REIT Merger Sub”), Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (“Partnership Merger Sub” and, together with Parent, Sub REIT, REIT Merger Sub, the Tender Offer Purchaser and their respective successors and assigns, the “Parent Parties”), the Company, and MPG Office, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Partnership”).

1. GUARANTEE. In consideration of, and as an inducement to the Company and the Partnership entering into the Merger Agreement and performing their obligations thereunder, Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to the Company, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the full performance and payment by the Parent Parties of all of their respective payment and/or other monetary obligations and liabilities arising under or in connection with the Merger Agreement and the other Contemplated Transactions, including without limitation (i) all obligations of the Parent Parties to pay consideration to holders of securities of the Company and the Partnership (including the Company Common Share Merger Consideration (including the Company Common Share Merger Consideration payable to holders of Restricted Shares), the Option Merger Consideration, the RSU Merger Consideration, the Partnership Cash Merger Consideration, the Offer Price if and to the extent payable in the Tender Offer in accordance with Section 7.14 of the Merger Agreement and any cash payable to holders of Company Preferred Shares as contemplated by Section 3.01(c) of the Merger Agreement), (ii) all obligations of the Parent Parties in respect of payments to lenders, servicers and others in connection with obtaining the Loan Consents pursuant to Section 7.05(d) of the Merger Agreement and Section 7.05(d) of the Company Disclosure Schedule, and (iii) all obligations in respect of claims, judgments or other monetary liabilities arising from any breach, default or non-compliance with the Merger Agreement by any of the Parent Parties (collectively, the “Guaranteed Obligations”); provided, however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Guaranteed Obligations shall not include the obligations of any Parent Party arising under Section 7.07 of the Merger Agreement. The Company shall have the right, exercisable in its sole discretion, to pursue any and all available remedies it may have arising out of the Guaranteed Obligations directly against Guarantor or any Parent Party in the first instance.

2. NATURE OF GUARANTEE. The Company shall not be obligated to file any claim relating to Guarantor’s obligations in the event that any Parent Party becomes subject to a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding, and the failure of the Company to so file shall not affect Guarantor’s Guaranteed Obligations. In the event that any payment in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason whatsoever, Guarantor shall remain liable hereunder, subject to the terms and provisions hereof,

with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations as if such payment had not been made. This Guarantee is an unconditional guarantee of payment and performance, and not of collectability.

3. CHANGES IN OBLIGATIONS; CERTAIN WAIVERS.

I. Guarantor agrees that the Company may at any time and from time to time, without notice to or further consent of Guarantor, extend the time of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may also make any agreement with the Parent Parties, without Guarantor’s consent, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any other agreement between the Company and any of the Parent Parties without in any way impairing or affecting Guarantor’s obligations under this Guarantee. Guarantor agrees that, subject to the terms and provisions hereof, the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise affected by (a) the failure or delay of the Company to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any Parent Party; (b) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any rescission, waiver, compromise, consolidation or other amendment to or modification of any of the terms or provisions of the Merger Agreement made in accordance with the terms thereof or any agreement evidencing, securing or otherwise executed in connection with any of the Guaranteed Obligations, including the Tender Offer; (c) the addition, substitution or release of any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (d) any change in the corporate or organizational existence, structure or ownership of any Parent Party or any other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement; (e) any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any Parent Party or any other Person liable with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (f) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights which Guarantor may have at any time against the Parent Parties, the Company or any of their respective Affiliates, whether in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise; (g) the adequacy of any other means the Company may have of satisfying any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (h) any other act or omission which might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of Guarantor or otherwise operate as a release or discharge of Guarantor, all of which may be done without notice to Guarantor; or (i) any other event or circumstance, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing. To the fullest extent permitted by Law, Guarantor hereby expressly waives any and all rights or defenses arising by reason of any Law which would otherwise require any election of remedies by the Company. Guarantor waives promptness, diligence, notice of the acceptance of this Guarantee and of the Guaranteed Obligations, presentment, demand for payment, notice of non-performance, default, dishonor and protest, notice of any obligations incurred and all other notices of any kind (other than notices to any of the Parent Parties pursuant to the Merger Agreement), all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium Law or other similar Law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of the Parent Parties or any other entity or other Person interested in the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, and all suretyship defenses generally (other than defenses to the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations that are available to any of the Parent Parties under the Merger Agreement or breach by the Company of this Guarantee). Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. Subject to the provisions of Section 2 and this Section 3, Guarantor reserves the right to assert

defenses which any of the Parent Parties may have to payment of any Guaranteed Obligations in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guarantee or otherwise, the Company hereby agrees that to the extent the Parent Parties are relieved of all or any portion of any Guaranteed Obligation, Guarantor shall be similarly relieved of its corresponding obligations under this Guarantee. Each party hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not institute, directly or indirectly, any proceeding asserting that any of the terms and provisions of this Guarantee are illegal, invalid or unenforceable.

II. Guarantor hereby unconditionally waives any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any of the Parent Parties that arise from the existence, payment, performance, or enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations or Guarantor’s obligations under or in respect of any other agreement in connection with the Merger Agreement or this Guarantee, including without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Company against any Parent Party, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Parent Party, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been previously paid in full in immediately available funds. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of the Company, shall be segregated from other property and funds of the Guarantor and shall forthwith be paid or delivered to the Company in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations thereafter arising.

4. NO WAIVER; CUMULATIVE RIGHTS. No failure on the part of the Company to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Company of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to the Company or allowed it by Law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by the Company at any time or from time to time.

In addition, (1) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.01(e), Section 4.02(a), the first, second, third, fourth, seventh and eighth sentences of Section 4.02(c), the first, second and third sentences of Section 4.02(f), and Section 4.02(g)(ii) of the Merger Agreement shall fail to be true and correct in all respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Expiration Date, as though made on and as of the Expiration Date (except for such representations and warranties made as of a specified date, which shall fail to be

true and correct in all respects as of that specified date), except where the failure to be so true and correct would not reasonably be expected to result in additional cost, expense or liability to the Company, Parent and their Affiliates, in the aggregate, of more than $500,000 and (2) the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in Section 4.01(a)-(b), Section 4.02(b), Section 4.02(h), Section 4.03(a) (except for Section 4.03(a)(II)), Section 4.03(b), Section 4.17, Section 4.18, Section 4.21 and Section 4.22 of the Merger Agreement shall fail to be true and correct in all material respects as of the date of the Merger Agreement and as of the Expiration Date, as though made on and as of such date (except for such representations and warranties made as of a specified date, which shall fail to be true and correct in all material respects as of that specified date);

(iv) The Company and the Partnership shall have failed to perform, in all material respects, all obligations or to comply with, in all material respects, all agreements or covenants to be performed or complied with by them under the Merger Agreement (except for Section 7.10(a));

(v) Since the execution and delivery of the Merger Agreement, there has occurred any event, circumstances, change or effect that, individually or in the aggregate, has resulted in, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Material Adverse Effect;

(vi) The Company shall have failed to deliver to the Tender Offer Purchaser a certificate, dated as of the Expiration Date, signed by the Chief Executive Officer or any Executive Vice President of the Company, certifying as to the satisfaction of the conditions specified in paragraphs (iii), (iv) and (v) of this Exhibit F;

(vii) Parent shall have failed to receive a written opinion of Xxxxxx & Xxxxxxx LLP, tax counsel to the Company, in accordance with Section 8.02(e) of the Merger Agreement;

(viii) The Company shall have failed to obtain the Required Consents set forth in Section 8.02(f) of the Company Disclosure Schedule; provided, however, that no Required Consent shall be required with respect to any Loan Documents with respect to which Parent has given a Parent Loan Payment Notice pursuant to Section 7.05(f) of the Merger Agreement;

(ix) The Merger Agreement shall have been terminated in accordance with its terms; and

(x) The Company Board (or duly authorized committee thereof) has at any time recommended that the holders of Company Preferred Shares do not accept the Tender Offer prior to the Tender Offer Purchaser’s acceptance for payment or payment for any validly tendered Company Preferred Shares.

The foregoing conditions are for the sole benefit of the Tender Offer Purchaser and may be asserted by the Tender Offer Purchaser regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any such conditions and may be waived by the Tender Offer Purchaser in whole or in part at any time and from time to time in its sole discretion, in each case subject to the terms of the Merger Agreement. Any reference in this Exhibit F or the Merger Agreement to a condition or requirement being satisfied shall be deemed to be satisfied if such condition or requirement is so waived, except such conditions that cannot be waived pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. The foregoing conditions shall be in addition to, and not a limitation of, the rights of the Tender Offer Purchaser to extend, terminate, amend and/or modify the Tender Offer pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. The failure by the Tender Offer Purchaser at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights shall not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right shall be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted at any time and from time to time.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Parent shall waive or deem satisfied any of the conditions in Section 8.01 or 8.02 of the Merger Agreement, then, without any further action by Parent or the Tender Offer Purchaser, the Tender Offer Purchaser shall be deemed for all purposes under the Merger Agreement, this Exhibit F, the Tender Offer and applicable Law to have waived the correlative condition (i.e., the corresponding provision in clauses (i) through (viii) above) in this Exhibit F and in all other applicable Tender Offer documents.
