By its execution of the joinder attached hereto, the Title Company agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Article IV.

Unless the Title Company has then previously received, or receives within three (3) Business Days after such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of the Certifying Party’s certificate, contrary instructions from the Other Party, the Title Company, within one (1) Business Day after the expiration of the foregoing three (3) Business Day period, will deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit to the Certifying Party, and thereupon the Title Company will be discharged and released from any and all liability hereunder. If the Title Company receives contrary instructions from the Other Party within three (3) Business Days following such written notification to the Other Party of the Title Company’s receipt of said certificate, the Title Company will not so deliver the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, but will continue to hold the same pursuant hereto, subject to Section 4.7.

In the event conflicting demands are made or notices served upon the Title Company with respect to this Agreement, or if there is uncertainty as to the meaning or applicability of the terms of this Agreement or the Escrow Instructions, Purchaser and Seller
15
expressly agree that the Title Company will be entitled to file a suit in interpleader and to obtain an order from the court requiring Purchaser and Seller to interplead and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. Upon the filing of the action in interpleader and the deposit of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit into the registry of the court, the Title Company will be fully released and discharged from any further obligations imposed upon it by this Agreement after such deposit.
Section 4.8 Maintenance of Confidentiality by Title Company. Except as may otherwise be required by law or by this Agreement, the Title Company will maintain in strict confidence and not disclose to anyone the existence of this Agreement, the identity of the parties hereto, the amount of the Purchase Price, the provisions of this Agreement or any other information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby, without the prior written consent of Purchaser and Seller in each instance.
Section 4.9 Investment of Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. The Title Company will invest and reinvest the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, at the instruction and sole election of Purchaser, only in (a) bonds, notes, Treasury bills or other securities constituting direct obligations of, or guaranteed by the full faith and credit of, the United States of America, and in no event maturing beyond the Closing Date, or (b) an interest-bearing account at a commercial bank mutually acceptable to Seller, Purchaser and the Title Company. The investment of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit will be at the sole risk of Purchaser and no loss on any investment will relieve Purchaser of its obligations to pay to Seller as liquidated damages the original amount of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as provided in Article XIII, or of its obligation to pay the Purchase Price.

Purchaser acknowledges that if the Real Property is located in an area which the Secretary of the Department of Housing and Urban Development has found to have special flood hazards, then pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program, Purchaser will be required to purchase flood insurance in order to obtain a loan secured by the Real Property from a federally regulated financial institution or a loan insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. Seller shall have no responsibility to determine whether the Real Property is located in an area which is subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.

TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS
Section 6.1 Survey. On or prior to the Effective Date, Seller has delivered to Purchaser, at Seller’s cost, a copy of that certain survey dated April, 2001 and prepared by KCA Engineers, Inc. with respect to the Real Property (the “Survey”). Seller shall have no obligation to obtain any modification, update, or recertification of the Survey. Any such modification, update or recertification of the Survey may be obtained by Purchaser at its sole cost and expense.
Section 6.2 Title and Survey Review.
(a) Prior to the Effective Date, Purchaser has caused the Title Company to furnish or otherwise make available to Purchaser a preliminary title commitment for the Real Property dated with an effective date of July 19, 2018 (the “PTR”), and copies of all underlying title documents described in the PTR. Purchaser shall have until November 19, 2018 (the “Title Notice Date”) to provide written notice (the “Title Notice”) to Seller and the Title Company of any matters shown on the PTR and/or the Survey which are not satisfactory to Purchaser. If Seller has not received a Title Notice from Purchaser by the Title Notice Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved of the condition of title to the Property and the Survey, subject to Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 6.2(c) below. Except as expressly provided in Section 6.2(c) of this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations, or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any
25
title objections. To the extent Purchaser timely delivers a Title Notice, then Seller shall deliver, no later than November 20, 2018, written notice to Purchaser and the Title Company identifying which disapproved items, if any, Seller shall undertake to cure (by either having the same removed or by obtaining affirmative insurance over the same as part of the final Title Policy and in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) (“Seller’s Response”). If Seller does not deliver Seller’s Response prior to such date, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Purchaser. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in Purchaser’s Title Notice, Purchaser shall have until the Contingency Date to (i) deliver a written notice terminating this Agreement (“Termination Notice”) to Seller and the Title Company, or (ii) waive any such objection to the PTR and the Survey (whereupon such objections shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions for all purposes hereof, except that in no event shall Purchaser ever be deemed to waive any Must-Cure Matters). If Seller and the Title Company have not received a Termination Notice from Purchaser by the Contingency Date, or if Purchaser delivers an Approval Notice on or before the Contingency Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all such objections to the PTR and the Survey, except that in no event shall Purchaser ever be deemed to waive any Must-Cure Matters.
(b) After the Contingency Date and prior to Closing, Purchaser may notify Seller in writing (the “Gap Notice”) of any objections to title (i) raised by the Title Company between the Contingency Date and the Closing, (ii) not disclosed in writing by the Title Company to Purchaser prior to the Contingency Date, and (iii) not disclosed in writing by Seller to Purchaser and the Title Company prior to the Contingency Date and (iv) that constitute Material Title Matters (“New Exceptions”); provided that Purchaser must notify Seller of any objection to any such New Exception within two (2) Business Days after being made aware of the existence of such New Exception. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser if it becomes aware of any New Exceptions that arise after the Contingency Date. If Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, Purchaser will be deemed to have waived any objection to the New Exceptions, and the New Exceptions will be included as Permitted Exceptions. Seller will have two (2) Business Days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice (and, if necessary, Seller may extend the Closing Date to provide for such two (2) Business Day period and for two (2) Business Days following such period for Purchaser’s response), within which xxxx Xxxxxx may, but is under no obligation to, remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, or commit to remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the same at or prior to Closing. If, within the two (2) Business Day period, Seller does not remove or otherwise obtain affirmative insurance over the objectionable New Exceptions, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon delivering a notice to Seller terminating this Agreement on or before the date two (2) Business Days following expiration of the two (2) Business Day cure period, in which case Purchaser shall be entitled to return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement in the manner set forth above, the New Exceptions (except those Seller has removed or otherwise affirmatively insured over, or committed to do the same as set forth above) will be included as Permitted Exceptions. If this Agreement is terminated by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(b), then neither Purchaser nor Seller shall have any further
26
rights or obligations hereunder (except for the Termination Surviving Obligations) and the Independent Consideration shall be paid to Seller.
(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Seller will be obligated to cure (or cause deletion from the Title Policy or provide affirmative title insurance over) exceptions to title to the Property listed on Exhibit L attached hereto (collectively, the “Must-Cure Matters”).
Section 6.3 Title Insurance. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close that the Title Company issue to Purchaser an ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) for the Property with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price, showing title to the Property vested in Purchaser, with such endorsements as Purchaser shall request and the Title Company shall have agreed to issue prior to the Contingency Date, subject only to: (i) the pre-printed standard exceptions in the Title Policy, (ii) exceptions approved or deemed approved by Purchaser pursuant to Section 6.2 above, (iii) the Tenant Leases, (iv) any taxes and assessments for the year of Closing and for any other year if not yet due and payable as of the Closing, (v) any liens or claims of liens for work, service, labor or materials performed or supplied by, for or on behalf of any Tenant, unless Seller was responsible for the payment of such work, service, labor or materials performed or supplied on behalf of any Tenant and did not pay the amounts Seller was obligated to pay, (vi) all matters shown on the Survey, or any updates thereto, (vii) any matters which have been removed or affirmatively insured over (provided, Purchaser must reasonably approve in writing any exceptions affirmatively insured over, as opposed to being removed), and (viii) any exceptions arising from Purchaser’s actions (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”). In the event Purchaser elects not to pay for any additional premium for the ALTA extended coverage policy, then the Title Policy to be issued as of the Closing shall be a standard ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance which shall include, among other things, a general survey exception. It is understood that Purchaser may request any number of endorsements to the Title Policy, but the issuance of any such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing.

INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
INTERIM OPERATING COVENANTS AND ESTOPPELS
Section 7.1 Interim Operating Covenants. Seller covenants to Purchaser that during the Interim Period, Seller will:
(a) Operations. Continue to operate, manage and maintain the Improvements in the ordinary course of Seller’s business and substantially in accordance with Seller’s present practice, subject to ordinary wear and tear and Article IX.

(d) Leases. Not enter into any new lease or any amendments, expansions or renewals of Tenant Leases, or terminate any Tenant Lease, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent will (i) not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned prior to the Contingency Date, and (ii) be in Purchaser’s sole discretion on and after the Contingency Date. Furthermore, nothing herein shall be deemed to require Purchaser’s consent to any expansion or renewal of a Tenant Lease which Seller, as landlord, is required to honor pursuant to any Tenant Lease. Immediately following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to The GAP, INC. (“GAP”), which is currently the sole Tenant of the Improvements, a Proposed Sale Notice (as defined in Section 6.2 of the Third Amendment to Lease (the “GAP Third Amendment”) dated September 8, 2005, by and between GAP and Mission Bay S26a/S28, LLC, as landlord) containing Basic Terms (as defined in the GAP Third Amendment) which are equivalent to the terms in this Agreement and Seller shall deliver a copy of such Proposed Sale Notice to Purchaser. If Seller receives the Preliminary Interest Notice or the Election Notice (as such terms are defined in the GAP Third Amendment) in response to such Proposed Sale Notice from GAP, Seller shall immediately notify and provide Purchaser with copies of each such notice when received by Seller. In addition, if Seller obtains a written waiver from GAP of GAP’s right to purchase the Property pursuant to Section 6 of the GAP Third Amendment (“GAP Waiver”), Seller shall immediately deliver such GAP Waiver to Purchaser.
(e) Service Contracts. Not enter into, or renew the term of, any service contract, unless such service contract is terminable on thirty (30) days (or less) prior notice without penalty or unless Purchaser consents thereto in writing, which approval will (i) not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned prior to the Contingency Date, and (ii) be in Purchaser’s sole discretion on and after the Contingency Date. Seller will terminate all service contracts on or prior to Closing, provided %4. Seller shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser will accept an assignment of, the rooftop use agreements with the Golden State Warriors (or their vendors), which expire December 31, 2019, and %4. Seller shall not be obligated to terminate, and Purchaser will accept an assignment of, the elevator services contract.
(f) Notices. To the extent received by Seller, promptly deliver to Purchaser copies of written default notices, notices of lawsuits and notices of violations of Governmental Regulations affecting the Property.
(g) Encumbrances. Without Purchaser’s prior approval in its sole discretion, not voluntarily subject the Property to any additional liens, encumbrances, covenants or easements, which would not constitute Permitted Exceptions, unless released prior to Closing.
Whenever in this Section 7.1 Seller is required to obtain Purchaser’s approval with respect to any transaction described therein, Purchaser shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Seller’s request therefor, notify Seller of its approval or disapproval of same and, if Purchaser
28
fails to notify Seller of its approval within said three (3) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved same.
Section 7.2 Tenant Lease Estoppels. It will be a condition to Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser, from the major tenant leasing space in the Improvements listed on Exhibit C-1 (“Major Tenant”), an executed Acceptable Estoppel Certificate. An “Acceptable Estoppel Certificate” is an estoppel certificate in substantially the form of the estoppel certificate attached hereto as Exhibit C-2, which shall not contain any material modifications or inconsistencies with respect to the applicable rent roll and the Tenant Lease and which shall not disclose any alleged material default or unfulfilled material obligation on the part of the landlord not previously disclosed in writing to Purchaser; provided that an estoppel certificate executed by the Major Tenant in the form prescribed by its Tenant Lease shall constitute an Acceptable Estoppel Certificate if (a) it is otherwise consistent with this Section 7.2 and the factual information contained in the estoppels distributed to such Tenant pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.2, and (b) affirmatively confirms that GAP has waived GAP’s right to purchase the Property pursuant to Section 6 of the GAP Third Amendment on Basic Terms which are equivalent to the terms in this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s failure to obtain the Acceptable Estoppel Certificate in accordance with this Section 7.2 constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure to obtain the Acceptable Estoppel Certificate shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Prior to delivery of the form of estoppel certificate to the Major Tenant, Seller will deliver to Purchaser a completed form of estoppel certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2 or such form as required by the Major Tenant’s Tenant Lease and containing the information contemplated thereby. Within two (2) Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt thereof, Purchaser will send to Seller notice either (i) approving such form as completed by Seller or (ii) setting forth in detail all changes to such form which Purchaser reasonably believes to be appropriate to make the completed form of estoppel certificate accurate and complete. Seller will make such changes to the extent Seller agrees such changes are appropriate, except that Seller will not be obligated to make any changes which request more expansive information than is contemplated by Exhibit C-2 or the form required by the Major Tenant’s Tenant Lease. Purchaser’s failure to respond within such two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed approval of such estoppel certificate.
Section 7.3 OFAC. Pursuant to United States Presidential Executive Order 13224 (“Executive Order”), Seller is required to ensure that it does not transact business with persons or entities determined to have committed, or to pose a risk of committing or supporting, terrorist acts and those persons (i) described in Section 1 of the Executive Order or (ii) listed in the “Alphabetical Listing of Blocked Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers” published by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”), 31 C.F.R. Chapter V, Appendix A, as in effect from time to time (as to (i) and (ii), a “Blocked Person”). If Seller learns that Purchaser is, becomes, or appears to be a Blocked Person, Seller may delay the sale contemplated by this Agreement pending Seller’s conclusion of its investigation into the matter of Purchaser’s status as a Blocked Person. If Seller determines that Purchaser is or becomes a Blocked Person, Seller shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and take all other actions necessary, or in the opinion of Seller, appropriate to comply with applicable law and Purchaser shall receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.
29
Section 7.4 Declaration and CCR Estoppels.
(a) Within ten (10) Business Days following the Effective Date, Seller shall prepare and deliver an estoppel certificate to ARE-San Francisco No. 19, LLC under and with respect to the Parking Structure Easement Agreement. It shall be a condition to Closing that Seller obtain and deliver to Purchaser the foregoing estoppel certificate (the “Acceptable Association Estoppel”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall Seller’s failure to obtain the Acceptable Association Estoppel constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement. Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy for a failure of the condition to obtain the Acceptable Association Estoppel shall be to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit.
(a) The Real Property may be subject to other reciprocal easement agreements, covenants and other similar agreements. Seller will cooperate with Purchaser to obtain estoppel certificates (“Additional REA and CCR Estoppels”) from the parties (other than Seller and other than any Authority) to any such agreements requested by Purchaser, provided that obtaining any Additional REA and CCR Estoppels shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to Close, and the failure to obtain any such Additional REA and CCR Estoppels shall not be a default by Seller hereunder.

Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser post-Closing in connection with the reissuance or endorsement of any letters of credit and act at the reasonable discretion of Purchaser with respect thereto, until the letters of credit are re-issued or endorsed to Purchaser, provided Purchaser shall pay all transfer and/or other fees relating to such transfers of letters of credit;

Section 9.4 Prorations.
(a) Seller and Purchaser agree to adjust, as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Closing Time”), the following (collectively, the “Proration Items”): real estate and personal property taxes and assessments for the year in which Closing occurs, utility bills (except as hereinafter provided), collected Rentals (subject to the terms of (b) below) and operating expenses payable by the owner of the Property (on the basis of a 365 day year, actual days elapsed). Seller will be charged and credited for the amounts of all of the Proration Items relating to the period up to and including the Closing Time, and Purchaser will be charged and credited for all of the Proration Items relating to the period after the Closing Time. Such preliminary estimated Closing prorations shall be set forth on a preliminary closing statement to be prepared by Seller and submitted to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) two (2) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Statement”). The Closing Statement,
37
once agreed upon, shall be signed by Purchaser and Seller and delivered to the Title Company for purposes of making the preliminary proration adjustment at Closing subject to the final cash settlement provided for below. The preliminary proration shall be paid at Closing by Purchaser to Seller (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Seller) or by Seller to Purchaser (if the preliminary prorations result in a net credit to Purchaser) by increasing or reducing the cash to be delivered by Purchaser in payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing. If the actual amounts of the Proration Items are not known as of the Closing Time, the prorations will be made at Closing on the basis of the best evidence then available; thereafter, when actual figures are received, re-prorations will be made on the basis of the actual figures, and a final cash settlement will be made between Seller and Purchaser. No prorations will be made in relation to insurance premiums (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries), and Seller’s insurance policies will not be assigned to Purchaser. Final readings and final xxxxxxxx for utilities will be made if possible as of the Closing Time, in which event no proration will be made at the Closing with respect to utility bills (except to the extent covered by the proration of Operating Expense Recoveries). Seller will be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility providers, and Purchaser will be obligated to make its own arrangements for deposits with the utility providers. A final reconciliation of Proration Items shall be made by Purchaser and Seller on or before the last day of the Survival Period (herein, the “Final Proration Date”). The provisions of this Section 10.4 (excluding subsection (e) which is governed by Section 3.2 above), will survive the Closing until the Final Proration Date, and in the event any items subject to proration hereunder are discovered prior to the Final Proration Date, the same shall be promptly prorated by the parties in accordance with the terms of this Section 10.4.
(b) Purchaser will receive a credit on the Closing Statement for the prorated amount (as of the Closing Time) of all Rentals previously paid to and collected by Seller and attributable to any period following the Closing Time. After the Closing, Seller will cause to be paid or turned over to Purchaser all Rentals, if any, received by Seller after Closing and properly attributable to any period following the Closing Time. “Rentals” includes fixed monthly rentals, parking rentals and charges, additional rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals (which include such Tenant’s proportionate share of building operation and maintenance costs and expenses as provided for under the applicable Tenant Lease, to the extent the same exceeds any expense stop specified in such Tenant Lease), retroactive rentals, administrative charges, utility charges, tenant or real property association dues, storage rentals, special event proceeds, temporary rents, telephone receipts, locker rentals, vending machine receipts and other sums and charges payable to Seller under the Tenant Lease or from other occupants or users of the Property, excluding specific tenant xxxxxxxx which are governed by Section 10.4(d). Rentals are “Delinquent” if they were due prior to the Closing Time and payment thereof has not been made on or before the Closing Time. Delinquent Rentals will not be prorated. Until the end of the Survival Period, Purchaser agrees to use good faith collection procedures with respect to the collection of any Delinquent Rentals, but Purchaser will have no liability for the failure to collect any such amounts and will not be required to conduct lock-outs or take any other legal action to enforce collection of any such amounts owed to Seller by Tenants of the Property. Seller shall have the right to pursue Delinquent Rentals after Closing. With respect to any Delinquent Rentals received
38
by Purchaser within the Survival Period, Purchaser shall pay to Seller any rent or payment actually collected during the Survival Period properly attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time. All sums collected by Purchaser during the Survival Period, from such Tenant (excluding Tenant payments for Operating Expense Recoveries attributable to the period prior to the Closing Time and tenant specific xxxxxxxx for tenant work orders and other specific services as described in and governed by Section 10.4(d) below, all of which shall be payable to and belong to Seller in all events, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary) will be applied first to amounts currently owed by such Tenant to Purchaser (including Delinquent Rentals attributable to the period after the Closing Time), then any collection costs of Purchaser related to such Tenant, and then to prior delinquencies owed by Tenant to Seller. Seller shall be entitled to institute legal actions to pursue Delinquent Rental after Closing, but in no event shall Seller be permitted to institute eviction proceedings against any Tenant. Any sums collected by Purchaser and due to Seller will be promptly remitted to Seller, and any sums collected by Seller and due to Purchaser will be promptly remitted to Purchaser.
(c) Seller will prepare a reconciliation as of the Closing Time of the amounts of all xxxxxxxx and charges for operating expenses and taxes (collectively, “Operating Expense Recoveries”) for calendar year 2018. If less amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under such Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2018 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Purchaser will pay such difference to Seller at Closing as an addition to the Purchase Price. If more amounts have been collected from Tenants for Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018 than would have been owed by Tenants under the Tenant Leases if the reconciliations under the Tenant Leases were completed as of the Closing Time based on the operating expenses incurred by Seller for calendar year 2018 up to the Closing Time (as prorated pursuant to Section 10.4(a) above), Seller will pay to Purchaser at Closing as a credit against the Purchase Price such excess collected amount. Purchaser and Seller agree that such proration of Operating Expense Recoveries at Closing for calendar year 2018 will fully relieve Seller from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters subject to Seller’s and Purchaser’s right and obligation to finalize prorations prior to the Final Proration Date, solely to make adjustments necessary to the extent estimates used in the calculation of such reconciliation at Closing differ from actual bills received after Closing for those items covered by such reconciliation at Closing or to correct any errors. In this regard, subject to Section 10.4(b) dealing with Delinquent Rentals, the foregoing proration will fully relieve Seller from any responsibility to Tenants or Purchaser for such matters and Purchaser will be solely responsible, from and after Closing, for (i) collecting from Tenants the amount of any outstanding Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018 for periods before and after Closing, and (ii) reimbursing Tenants for amounts attributable to Operating Expense Recoveries for calendar year 2018, as may be necessary based on annual reconciliations for Operating Expense Recoveries for such calendar year.
(d) With respect to specific tenant xxxxxxxx for work orders, special items performed or provided at the request of a Tenant or other specific services, which are collected by Purchaser or Seller after the Closing Time but expressly state they are for such specific
39
services rendered by Seller or its property manager prior to the Closing Time, Purchaser shall cause such collected amounts to be paid to Seller, or Seller may retain such payment if such payment is received by Seller after the Closing Time.
(e) (i) Seller shall pay those Leasing Costs incurred in connection with any Tenant Lease space in the Property, or any amendment or supplement thereto, entered into prior to the Effective Date, but only to the extent identified on Exhibit G-1 attached hereto to the extent unpaid as of the Closing Date (“Seller Leasing Costs”), but expressly excluding the Leasing Costs described in Exhibit G-2 attached hereto; (ii) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all Leasing Costs (“New Tenant Costs”) incurred or to be incurred in connection with any new Tenant Lease, or the renewal, expansion, or modification of any Tenant Lease executed on or after the Effective Date (the terms of which have been approved, if applicable, by Purchaser in accordance with Section 7.1(d)) plus the Leasing Costs identified on Exhibit G-2 (“Purchaser Leasing Costs”); (iii) to the extent Seller Leasing Costs described in clause (i) above remain unpaid as of Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit from Seller therefor at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible after Closing for paying any Leasing Costs for which Purchaser received such a credit; (iv) to the extent Purchaser Leasing Costs described in clause (ii) above have been paid by Seller, Seller shall receive a credit from Purchaser therefor at Closing; and (v) Purchaser will be solely responsible for and shall pay all New Tenant Costs and all other Leasing Costs (whether arising before or after Closing).
(f) Real and personal property taxes and taxes and assessments pursuant to any Xxxxx-Xxxx District affecting the Property (including the CFDs) shall be prorated on the basis that Seller is responsible for (a) all such taxes for the fiscal year of the applicable taxing authorities occurring before the Current Tax Period, and (b) that portion of such taxes for the Current Tax Period determined on the basis of the number of days that have elapsed from the first day of the Current Tax Period to the Closing Date, inclusive, whether or not the same shall be payable before the Closing. If as of the Closing the actual tax bills for the year or years in question are not available and the amount of taxes to be prorated cannot be ascertained, then rates and assessed valuation of the previous year, with known changes, shall be used, and when the actual amount of taxes and assessments for the year or years in question shall be determinable, then such taxes and assessments will be re-prorated between the parties to reflect the actual amount of such taxes and assessments. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Tenant is responsible for reimbursement or payment of such taxes and assessments pursuant to a Tenant Lease, the amount payable by such Tenant in excess of base year taxes shall not be prorated except to the extent that Seller has received estimated payments and has not yet applied the same to the tax or assessment to which Tenant’s reimbursement or payment is attributed.
Section 9.5 Delivery of Real Property. Upon completion of the Closing, Seller will deliver to Purchaser possession of the Real Property and Improvements, subject only to the Tenant Leases and the Permitted Exceptions.
Section 9.6 Costs of Title Company and Closing Costs. Costs of the Title Company and other Closing costs incurred in connection with the Closing will be allocated as follows:
40
(a) Purchaser will pay (i) all premium and other incremental costs for obtaining the Title Policy and all endorsements thereto, (ii) all premiums and other costs for any mortgagee policy of title insurance, including but not limited to any endorsements or deletions, (iii) Purchaser’s attorney’s fees, (iv) all of the Title Company’s escrow and closing fees, if any, (v) the costs of any update, modification, or recertification of the Survey, (vi) any mortgage recording tax relating to mortgages or deeds of trust placed upon the Property by Purchaser, and (vii) any recording fees.
(b) Seller will pay (i) the initial cost of the Survey, (ii) Seller’s attorneys’ fees, (iii) any transfer taxes imposed on the sale (but not the financing) of the Real Property by the City, County and State in which the Real Property is located, and (iv) prepayment penalties or premiums incurred by Seller with respect to prepaying the Property’s existing mortgage indebtedness at Closing (if any).
(c) Any other costs and expenses of Closing not provided for in this Section 10.6 shall be allocated between Purchaser and Seller in accordance with the custom in the county in which the Real Property is located.
(d) If the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date for any reason whatsoever, the costs incurred through the date of termination will be borne by the party incurring same.
Section 9.7 Post Closing Delivery of Notice Letters.
(a) Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each Tenant (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has received and is responsible for the Tenant Deposits (specifying the exact amount of the Tenant Deposits) and (iii) indicating that rent should thereafter be paid to Purchaser and giving instructions therefor (the “Tenant Notice Letters”). Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each Tenant Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.
(b) Immediately following Closing, Purchaser will deliver to each party required to receive notice under any REAs, covenants and CC&Rs, including without limitation, the Parking Structure Easement Agreement, (via messenger or certified mail, return receipt requested) a written notice executed by Purchaser and Seller (i) acknowledging the sale of the Property to Purchaser, and (ii) acknowledging that Purchaser has assumed Seller’s obligations under the operative document (the “REA Notice Letters”). Purchaser shall provide to Seller a copy of each REA Notice Letter promptly after delivery of same, and proof of delivery of same promptly after such proof is available.
Section 9.8 General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. The obligation of Purchaser to close the transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Seller:
41
(a) Seller shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all of the obligations of Seller set forth in Section 10.3 as of the Closing Date;

(f) Subject to Section 10.9, each of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct (determined without regard to any qualification by any of the terms “material” therein) as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date as though made on and as of the Closing Date (except to the extent a representation or warranty is made as of a specific date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct at and as of such date, without regard to any such qualifications therein), except with respect to Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events.
The term “Authorized Qualifications” shall mean any qualifications to the representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 8.1 to reflect (i) new Tenant Leases, Tenant Lease amendments, new Service Contracts which must be terminable upon the Closing, and/or Service Contract amendments which do not extend beyond the Closing, executed by Seller in accordance with this Agreement, (ii) any action taken by Seller in accordance with any Tenant Leases, Service Contracts, or Permitted Exceptions not prohibited by this Agreement, and (iii) a Tenant Lease default or a Tenant insolvency occurring after the Effective Date. The term “Immaterial Events” shall mean facts or events that do not result in a loss of value, damage, claim or expense in excess of $250,000. Authorized Qualifications and Immaterial Events shall not constitute a default by Seller or a failure of a condition precedent to Closing.
Section 9.9 Breaches of Seller’s Representations Prior to Closing.
(a) If, prior to the Closing, there occurs or exists a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller that in the aggregate with all other such breaches has the effect of constituting Authorized Qualifications and/or Immaterial Events, then Purchaser shall have no remedy therefor and must proceed to the Closing with no adjustment of the Purchase Price and Seller shall have no liability therefor. If, prior to the Closing, a breach (which is not the result of an Authorized Qualification or an Immaterial Event) occurs for
42
which the damage from all Claims for such breaches is greater than $250,000 (“Material Breach”), then Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, upon the delivery of written notice of such breach to Seller either (i) proceed to close the purchase of the Property without adjustment of the Purchase Price on account of such asserted breach (and with no liability to Seller) and waive any claims against Seller for such Claims with respect to such breach or (ii) terminate this Agreement by the giving of the written notice to Seller of same, in which event this Agreement will terminate as of the expiration of the Termination Nullification Period if Seller doesn’t deliver a Termination Nullification Notice, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and Seller shall reimburse Purchaser up to a maximum of $100,000 for Seller’s actual third party costs in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, provided, if Purchaser does not exercise its right to terminate this Agreement on or before the earlier of (1) Closing or (2) the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser becomes aware of such facts or events, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive the condition and proceed to Closing.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 10.9(a), if Purchaser has elected to terminate this Agreement, Seller may nullify such termination within ten (10) Business Days after receipt by Seller of such notice from Purchaser (or the earlier of the Closing Date) electing to terminate this Agreement (the “Termination Nullification Period”) by (x) delivering to Purchaser a notice nullifying such termination (a “Termination Nullification Notice”) and (y) either (1) crediting the Purchase Price in the amount of the alleged Claims (the “Material Breach Credit”), in which event Purchaser shall be required to purchase the Property without further adjustment to the Purchase Price under this Section 10.9 or (2) if Seller disputes that Purchaser is entitled to terminate this Agreement under this Section 10.9 because Seller asserts that either (I) no such breach has occurred or exists, (II) the asserted breach is not a Material Breach and/or (III) the amount of the alleged Claims exceeds the diminution in the value of the Property or other loss, damage, cost or expense directly resulting from such breach (a “Claim Dispute”), Seller may deliver a Claims Dispute Notice (as defined below) and deposit with Title Company upon Closing as described in Section 10.9(c) below, an amount equal to the Material Breach Credit, in which event Purchaser shall be required to close the purchase of the Property without further adjustment of the Purchase Price, and such dispute shall be resolved after Closing pursuant to Section 10.9(d) below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not have the right to give a Termination Nullification Notice if the total amount of all alleged Claims exceed $5,000,000 (in Purchaser’s good faith and reasonable estimate).
(c) If, prior to the Closing, Purchaser serves a notice of a Claim asserting a Material Breach and Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice in accordance with Section 10.9(b), Seller may dispute such notice of a Claim by delivering written notice to Purchaser in the manner herein provided (a “Claim Dispute Notice”). A Claim Dispute Notice shall be given at or prior to the Closing. If Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice but does not deliver a Claim Dispute Notice, then the parties shall proceed with the Closing as described in Section 10.9(b) and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Material Breach Credit; provided that Seller shall not be obligated to deposit any amounts with the Title Company at the Closing. If Seller has given a Termination Nullification Notice and delivers a Claim Dispute Notice, then Seller shall deposit with Title Company at the
43
Closing an amount equal to the Material Breach Credit (the “Escrow Funds”), to be held in escrow pending a resolution of the Claim Dispute by the Arbiter in accordance with the terms set forth in an escrow agreement to be entered into by the parties at the Closing (the form of which to be reasonably agreed by the parties), until the earlier to occur of (i) written agreement of Seller and Purchaser with respect to the disposition of the Escrow Funds, or (ii) a resolution of the Claim Dispute made by the Arbiter pursuant to Section 10.9(d) below. Seller may direct that a portion of the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing be paid to Title Company to serve as the Escrow Funds. Provided Seller has deposited the Escrow Funds with Title Company pending resolution of the Claim Dispute as hereinabove provided, Purchaser shall be required to close title to the Property without adjustment of the Purchase Price on account of the breach in the Claim Dispute.
(d) The Claim Dispute as set forth in Seller’s Claim Dispute Notice shall be resolved by the arbitration procedure set forth below. Seller shall within ten (10) Business Days after the Closing submit in writing to Purchaser (i) the amount, if any, by which Seller believes the total value of the Property has been diminished or such other loss, damage, cost or expense by reason of the breach claimed by Purchaser (“Seller’s Claimed Damage”) or (ii) that Seller believes no reduction of the value of the Property or such other loss, damage, cost or expense has occurred. The parties shall attempt in good faith to agree upon an individual acceptable to each party to act as arbiter (the “Arbiter”) of the Claim Dispute. If, after expiration of twenty (20) days following Seller’s delivery of a Claim Dispute Notice, the parties are unable to agree upon the selection of the Arbiter, either party may request that an office of the American Arbitration Association in the city and/or county in which the Property is located select a retired jurist or other individual having substantial experience in dispute resolution of commercial real estate matters (who is impartial and has no existing or historical personal or professional relationship with Seller, Purchaser or their respective affiliates) to act as Arbiter. Within ten (10) days after selection of an Arbiter, each party shall deliver to the Arbiter all instruments, documents and other materials forming the basis for the existence or non-existence of a breach or the calculation of the amount of the Claims alleged by Purchaser (“Purchaser’s Claimed Damage”) or Seller’s Claimed Damage, as applicable. Within twenty (20) days of receipt of the submission of such documents and other instruments from both Seller and Purchaser, the Arbiter shall determine whether (x) such a breach has occurred, (y) if so, whether the same constitutes a Material Breach and (z) if a Material Breach has occurred, which of the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage most closely reflects the actual diminution, if any, in the value of the Property resulting from the Material Breach found to exist. If the Arbiter determines that a Material Breach has occurred, the Arbiter shall have no authority to select an amount which is not either the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage (the amount actually selected by the Arbiter whether none (if no Material Breach occurred), the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or the Seller’s Claimed Damage is hereinafter referred to as the “Final Damage”). If the determination of the Arbiter hereunder is that there did not occur a Material Breach, the entire amount of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to Seller in accordance with the Escrow Agreement. If the determination by the Arbiter is that a Material Breach exists and the Arbiter selects (1) the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage, then the Escrow Funds shall be paid to the Purchaser in accordance with the Escrow Agreement or (2) Seller’s
44
Claimed Damage, then a portion of the Escrow Funds in the amount of Seller’s Claimed Damages shall be paid to the Purchaser and the balance of the Escrow Funds shall be paid to Seller, in each case in accordance with the escrow agreement to be agreed by the parties. The determination of the Arbiter hereunder shall be final and binding in all respects against all parties to this Agreement. Purchaser shall in no event be entitled to a credit or any other recourse against Seller for any sum in excess of the Escrow Funds with respect to any Material Breach. The costs and expenses of arbitration hereunder (including the fees and disbursements of the Arbiter) shall be paid by the party whose calculation of diminution in value of the Property resulting from the subject breach shall not have been selected, (i.e. if the Arbiter finds in favor of Seller’s Claimed Damage, Purchaser shall pay the arbitration costs and if the Arbiter finds in favor of the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage, Seller shall pay the arbitration costs), or if the dispute is as to the existence of such a breach, such costs shall be paid by the losing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if interim payments are required to be made on account of such costs prior to the determination by the Arbiter, such interim payments shall be funded equally by Seller and Purchaser, subject to reimbursement of the prevailing party by the losing party upon the Arbiter’s final determination hereunder.
(e) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, from and after the date of Closing, with respect to any asserted breach of Seller’s representations and warranties, Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser with respect to such breach if Purchaser has received a credit against the Purchase Price with respect to such breach whether pursuant to this Section 10.9 above or otherwise, or there is pending a Claim Dispute with respect to such breach in respect of which there have been deposited Escrow Funds pursuant to this Section 10.9 on account of such asserted breach (except, in the case of such a Claim Dispute, for the Purchaser’s Claimed Damage or Seller’s Claimed Damage as determined pursuant Section 10.9(d)).
Section 9.10 General Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations Regarding the Closing. The obligation of Seller to close the transaction hereunder shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions, any of which may be waived by written notice from Seller to Purchaser:
(a) Purchaser shall have performed or complied in all material respects with all of the covenants and obligations of Purchaser set forth in Section 10.2, as of the Closing Date;
(b) The representations and warranties of Purchaser made in Section 8.2 shall be true and correct in all material respects; and
(c) As of the Closing Date, Seller shall have not received both a Preliminary Interest Notice and an Election Notice from GAP in response to the Proposed Sale Notice that Seller has provided to GAP in accordance with Section 7.1(d) of this Agreement, unless either (i) GAP executes and delivers a GAP Waiver, or (ii) GAP defaults in its obligation to purchase the Property, in which case the Closing shall occur on the applicable date set forth in the definition of Closing Date.
45
Section 9.11 Failure of Condition. If any condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.10) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, then Seller shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or extend the Closing Date once for up to five (5) Business Days to allow Purchaser to satisfy such condition precedent (in which case, Purchaser shall in good faith expeditiously try to cure such condition precedent during such five (5) Business Day extension) by notice thereof to Purchaser and the Title Company. If any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to effect the Closing (as set forth in Section 10.8) is not satisfied by the Closing Date, subject to Section 10.9, then Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement, or extend the Closing Date once for up to five (5) Business Days to allow Seller to satisfy such condition precedent (in which case, Seller shall in good faith expeditiously try to cure such condition precedent during such five (5) Business Day extension), by notice thereof to Seller and the Title Company. If either party elects to extend the Closing Date for five (5) Business Days pursuant to this Section 10.11 and the condition precedent for which the Closing Date is extended is not satisfied or waived during such period, then such party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to the other party and the Title Company. If this Agreement is so terminated, then Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and no party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except for Termination Surviving Obligations, provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the applicable conditions precedent are not satisfied due to a default by Seller or Purchaser hereunder, then Article XIII shall govern and this Section 10.11 shall not apply.

Grantee and Grantor each hereby agrees not to request an adjustment to the Base Year Value (as defined below) for the South Plan Area (as defined in the South OPA) as a result of any Transfer permitted under this Paragraph to an entity exempt from property taxation.

2. Assignment by Assignor.

3.2 Assignee Indemnification.
3.2.1. Assignee hereby agrees to protect, defend and indemnify Assignor, Assignor’s parent, affiliated and subsidiary companies, and Assignor’s or such companies’ officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, agents, employees and attorneys, and their respective successors and assigns (collectively, “Assignor Affiliates”) against, and to hold Assignor and Assignor Affiliates harmless from, any and all Losses asserted against or incurred by Assignor or any Assignor Affiliates in connection with or arising out of Assignee’s failure to fully satisfy, perform and observe each and all of the Transferred Obligations first arising after the Closing.

Promisor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the Payee and the City and their respective officers, directors, commissioners, employees and agents (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including, without limitation, Attorneys’ Fees and Costs as hereinafter defined) arising in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnified Party, in any manner relating to or arising out of or in connection with the payment or enforcement of this Note (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Indemnified Liabilities shall not include (a) liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, causes of action, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements to the extent caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or negligence of such Indemnified Party, including, without limitation, a willful breach of any obligations of the City under the Tax Allocation Agreement or the Payee under the Financing Plan or (b) consequential damages arising from any actual losses related to an indemnified claim. Promisor shall defend the Indemnified Parties against any claims that are actually or potentially within the scope of the indemnity provisions of this instrument, even if such claims may be groundless, fraudulent or false.
“Attorney’s Fees and Costs” means any and all attorneys’ fees, costs, expenses and disbursements, including, but not limited to: expert witness fees and costs, travel time and associated costs; transcript preparation fees and costs; document copying expenses; exhibit preparation costs; carrier expenses and postage and communications expenses; such amount as a court or other decision maker may adjudge to be reasonable attorneys’ fees for the services rendered to the prevailing party in such action or proceeding; fees and costs associated with execution upon any judgment or order; and costs on appeal and any collection efforts. For purposes of this Note, the reasonable fees of attorneys and any in-house counsel for the City, the Payee and the Promisor shall be based on the fees regularly charged by private attorneys with the equivalent number of years of professional experience in the subject matter area of the law for which the City’s, the Payee’s or the Promisor’s in-house counsel’s services were rendered who practice in the City of San Francisco in law firms with approximately the same number of attorneys as employed by the City or the Payee or, in the case of the Promisor, as employed by outside counsel for the Promisor.
The Indemnified Parties agree to give prompt notice to the Promisor with respect to any suit or claim initiated or threatened against the Indemnified Parties, at the address for notices to the Promisor set forth below and in the manner set forth in Section 19.2 of the South OPA, and in no event later than the earlier of (a) ten (10) days after valid service of process as to any suit or (b) fifteen (15) days after receiving written notification of the filing of such suit or the assertion of such claim, which the Indemnified Party has reason to believe is likely to give rise to a claim for indemnity hereunder. If prompt notice is not given to the Promisor, then the Promisor’s liability hereunder shall terminate as to the matter for which such notice is not given, provided that failure to notify the Promisor shall not prejudice the rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder unless the Promisor is prejudiced by such failure, and then only to the extent of such prejudice. The Promisor shall, at its option but subject to the reasonable consent and approval of the Indemnified Party, be entitled to control the defense, compromise or settlement of any such matter through counsel of the Promisor’s own choice; provided, however, that in all cases the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense, compromise, or settlement at its own expense. If the Promisor shall fail, however, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, within a reasonable time following notice from the Indemnified Party alleging such failure, to take reasonable and appropriate action to defend, compromise or settle such suit or claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right promptly to hire counsel at the Promisor’s sole expense to carry out such defense, compromise or settlement, which expense shall be immediately due and payable to the Indemnified Party upon receipt by the Promisor of a properly detailed invoice therefor. The indemnities set forth above shall survive any termination of the Financing Plan as to matters that arise during the term hereof.
This Note is not secured by any real property or interests therein.
Any failure of the Payee to exercise any rights under this Note shall not constitute a waiver of the right to the later exercise thereof.
This Note may not by changed, amended or modified orally, and may only be amended or modified by an instrument in writing which by its express terms refers to this Note and is duly executed by the Promisor and accepted in writing by the Payee.
Notice may be given to the Payee at the address for such party and in the manner set forth in Section 19.2 of the South OPA, and to the Promisor at the address for notice to the Promisor set forth below and in the manner set forth in Section 19.2 of the South OPA.
This Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
Time is of the essence with respect to each and every term and provision of this Note.
The terms of this Note shall bind the Promisor and inure to the benefit of the Payee and the City and their respective successors and assigns.
This Note shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, upon (a) the Transfer of any property in the South Plan Area to a Transferee for which this Note is not required under the South OPA, including the Financing Plan, provided such obligations shall be relieved only as to the property so Transferred, or (b) the latest of (i) payment in full of this Note together with any and all other amounts payable by Promisor under this Note (including any Reimbursement Amounts), (ii) payment for all Infrastructure under the terms of the Financing Plan, and (iii) payment in full of the Tax Allocation Debt; provided, however, any obligations that Promisor has under this Note that arose and were not satisfied before such date shall survive any such termination. Nothing herein shall limit Promisor’s obligation to execute and deliver a Tax Allocation Bond Guaranty for certain Additional Payments if the same is required under the South OPA, including the Financing Plan, upon a Transfer of any portion of the South Plan Area to a Non-Qualified Transferee.
Duly authorized and executed as of the date first above written.
