(SEATTLE WORLD TRADE CENTER -- EAST BUILDING AGREEMENT)
BACKGROUND
On September 8, 2000, in connection with the closing of the
Contribution Agreement by and between WRC Trade Center LLC, a Washington limited
liability company, ("Contributor") and EOP-WTC LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company, ("Acquiror") dated July 7, 1998, Contributor received 227,011 Class B
Units of limited Partnership Interest in the Partnership (the "WTC Units"),
based on a price per Unit of $30.3688, in exchange for its interest in the
"Project," as defined in the Contribution Agreement. In connection with the
issuance of the WTC Units, the Second Amendment to the Agreement was executed
adding this Exhibit E-8 to the Agreement, setting forth specific agreements
regarding additional rights and obligations of the Equity Holders, who were
assigned the WTC Units by the Contributor and the Intermediate Equity Holders as
described more fully in the Second Amendment to the Agreement, with respect to
the WTC Units. Such specific agreements are set forth below.
All Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Exhibit
E-8 have the meanings assigned in the Agreement or the Second Amendment, as
applicable.
SPECIFIC AGREEMENTS
1. ADMISSION TO PARTNERSHIP. The Contributor is admitted to the
Partnership as an Additional Limited Partner in accordance with Section
12.2 of the Agreement and agrees to become a party to the Agreement and
to be bound by all of the terms, conditions and other provisions of the
Agreement, including, but not limited to, the power of attorney set
forth in Section 15.11 of the Agreement. The General Partner has
consented to the transfer of a portion of the WTC Units from the
Contributor to the Intermediate Equity Holders, who have agreed to
become parties to the Agreement and to be bound by all of the terms,
conditions and other provisions of the Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the power of attorney set forth in Section 15.11 of the
Agreement. The General Partner has consented to the transfer the WTC
Units from the Contributor and the Intermediate Equity Holders, as
applicable, to the Equity Holders as reflected on Schedule 1 to the
Second Amendment to the Agreement. Accordingly, the Equity Holders are
admitted to the Partnership as Substituted Limited Partners in
accordance with Section 11.4 of the Agreement and agree to become
parties to the Agreement and to be bound by all of the terms,
conditions and other provisions of the Agreement, including, but not
limited to, the power of attorney set forth in Section 15.11 of the
8
Agreement. The Contributor and the Intermediate Equity Holders are no
longer Limited Partners of the Partnership.
2. LOCK-UP PERIOD. For a period equal to one year following the Closing
Date (the "Lock-Up Period"), none of the Equity Holders shall, in any
way or to any extent, redeem (pursuant to the Agreement or otherwise),
sell, transfer, assign, pledge or encumber or otherwise convey any or
all of the WTC Units delivered to Contributor pursuant to the
Contribution Agreement and subsequently assigned to such Equity
Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during and after the Lock-Up
Period, an Equity Holder shall have the right to (i) pledge or encumber
the WTC Units (or Conversion Shares, if applicable) to a financial
institution or other commercial lender for the purpose of securing an
extension of credit to such Equity Holder by such financial institution
or other commercial lender and (ii) assign all or any portion of its
WTC Units, together with any and all other rights and obligations of
such Equity Holder pursuant to this Exhibit E-8 and the Agreement, to
one or more of the constituent partners or shareholders, members,
partners or beneficiaries the such Equity Holder on the date hereof,
whether direct or indirect, without the need for the consent of the
General Partner or any other Limited Partner and without being subject
to the right of first refusal set forth in Section 11.3.A(a) of the
Agreement, but in each case subject to the restrictions and conditions
set forth in Sections 11.3.C, 11.3.D, 11.3.E, 11.6.E and 11.6.F of the
Agreement and subject to the requirement that each such assignee
receiving any of such WTC Units and/or Conversion Shares is an
"Accredited Investor," as such term is defined in Regulation D
promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Upon the
delivery of written notice of such an assignment to the General
Partner, each assignee of WTC Units pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence shall be admitted to the Partnership as a
Substituted Limited Partner owning the WTC Units so assigned and having
all of the rights of a Limited Partner under the Agreement, the Second
Amendment thereto and this Exhibit E-8, subject only to such assignee
executing and delivering to the Partnership an acceptance of all of the
terms and conditions of the Agreement and such other documents or
instruments as the General Partner may reasonably require to effect
such admission, in accordance with Section 11.4.B of the Agreement.
Each permitted assignee of any of the WTC Units, issued to the
Contributor pursuant to the Contribution Agreement, that is admitted as
a Substituted Limited Partner in accordance with this Section 2 or
Article XI of the Agreement, for so long as such Person owns any such
WTC Units, is referred to in this Exhibit E-8 as an "INDIRECT EQUITY
HOLDER." Upon satisfaction of the condition described in the second
sentence of this Section 2, the General Partner shall amend Exhibit A
to the Agreement in the manner described in Section 11.4.C of the
Agreement. For purposes of Section 8.6 of the Agreement, each Indirect
Equity Holder shall be entitled to exercise its right to require the
Partnership to redeem all or any portion of the WTC Units assigned to
it by the Contributor at any time on or after the first anniversary of
the issuance of the WTC Units to Contributor pursuant to the closing
under the Contribution Agreement.
3. SALE OF THE PROJECT. For a period of two years following the Closing
Date, the Partnership and the General Partner shall not, without the
prior written consent of the
9
affected Equity Holder(s): (a) sell or otherwise dispose of the Project
(other than through a deed in lieu of foreclosure, a foreclosure
action, or an act of eminent domain) unless such sale or disposition
qualifies for non-recognition of gain under the Code (for example, by
means of exchanges contemplated under Code sections 351, 354, 355, 368,
721, 1031, or 1033), in such manner as the Code provides from time to
time and the Equity Holders recognize no gain as a result thereof or
(b) cause a voluntary distribution of property that would cause the
Equity Holders to recognize income or gain pursuant to the provisions
of either or both of sections 704(c)(1)(B) and 737 of the Code.
4. ALLOCATIONS. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the Agreement,
for a period of two years following the Closing Date, for purposes of
allocating items of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to
the Property in the manner required by Section 704(c) of the Code, the
Partnership shall employ, and shall cause any entity controlled by the
Partnership which holds title to any of the Property to employ, the
"traditional method" without curative allocations as set forth in
Regulation Section 1.704-3(b).
5. EQUITY HOLDERS TO PROVIDE INFORMATION. Each Equity Holder agrees that
it shall deliver (or shall cause each of its partners, shareholders and
members, as applicable, to deliver) to the General Partner or to any
other party designated by the General Partner, any documentation that
may be required under the Agreement or the Declaration of Trust of the
General Partner and such other information as may reasonably be
requested by the General Partner at such time as any WTC Units are
exchanged for Shares of the General Partner (the "CONVERSION SHARES")
pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Agreement.
