ADDITIONAL CAPITAL CONTRIBUTIONS
SECTION 3.1 Third Party Equity. Holding Partnership will
diligently endeavor in good faith to raise equity capital ("Third Party Equity")
from third parties other than SLR or its Affiliates ("Third Party Investors").
It is expected that Third Party Investors will contribute capital to Holding
Partnership, which will in turn contribute capital to the Trust as contemplated
by this Agreement. However, depending on the needs of particular Third Party
Investors, Third Party Equity may be contributed directly to the Trust. The
failure to raise any Third Party Equity
-9-
shall not be considered a default under or breach of any provision of this
Agreement by any party hereto.
SECTION 3.2 Second Closing. Under Section 6.8 of the
Declaration of Trust, on or before December 31, 2003, the Trust is required to
redeem all outstanding Class C Preferred Shares and Class C Common Shares (all
of which were issued to Sumitomo at the First Closing ) for an aggregate amount
equal to the SLR Redemption Amount (the "SLR Redemption"). On December 31, 2003,
a closing (the "Second Closing") shall be held for the purpose of making the SLR
Redemption. At the Second Closing, the GM Investors shall contribute $45 million
in cash to the Trust, with each GM Investor contributing the amount set forth
opposite its name on Schedule 3.2. The Trust shall use the proceeds of such
capital contribution to fund the SLR Redemption.
SECTION 3.3 Repayment of Mezzanine Loan.
(a) Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition of
Manhattan Tower as contemplated by Article IV (the "Manhattan Tower Closing"),
the GM Investors shall contribute $38,711,531 in cash to the Trust, with each GM
Investor contributing the amount set forth opposite its name on Schedule 3.3.
The Trust shall use all of the proceeds of such capital contribution to make a
partial prepayment of the Mezzanine Loan on or about the date of the Manhattan
Tower Closing. In addition, the Trust will make a prepayment of the Mezzanine
Loan of an additional $1.5 million from amounts currently held in reserve, which
prepayment will be made at the same time as the prepayment required by the
preceding sentence. The Manhattan Tower Closing shall occur on February 2, 2004,
or such other date as GMIMCo, Holding Partnership and Hines Investor may agree.
The Trust shall deliver a notice to the GM Investors requesting contribution of
the capital required by this Section 3.3(a) on or before January 2, 2004, or
such other date as the Trust and GMIMCo may agree.

at which Third Party Investors contribute capital to Holding Partnership or the
Trust or (ii) December 31, 2004, Holding Partnership and/or Hines Investor shall
contribute to the Trust an amount in cash equal to the then remaining
outstanding principal balance of the Mezzanine Loan, and the Trust shall use all
of the proceeds of such capital contribution to the Trust to repay the remaining
balance of the Mezzanine Loan. The Xxxxx Group shall be responsible for the
capital contribution required by this Section 3.3(b) to the extent Third Party
Equity is not available to fund such capital contribution.
SECTION 3.4 Hines Capital Contributions. Any right or
obligation of Hines Investor or Holding Partnership under this Agreement to
contribute capital to the Trust or the MT Trust (including in respect of capital
to be contributed by the Hines Group) may be assigned to and met by either Hines
Investor or Holding Partnership, as they may agree between themselves. Hines
Investor and/or Holding Partnership will contribute capital to the Trust using
capital provided by the Hines Group such that at least 1% of the aggregate
amount of capital contributed to the Trust and, to the extent the parties remain
bound by the provisions of Article IV, the MT Trust, has been contributed by the
Xxxxx Group. HREH shall be liable for any capital contributions which, under the
terms of this Agreement, are required to be made to the
-10-
Trust by the Xxxxx Group or for which the Xxxxx Group is responsible, through
either Xxxxx Investor or Holding Partnership.
SECTION 3.5 GM Capital Contributions. Each GM Investor shall
be responsible for its proportionate share of each capital contribution required
to be made by GM Investors under this Agreement, based on the proportion of the
Capital Contribution made by such GM Investor at the First Closing relative to
the Capital Contribution made by all GM Investors at the First Closing as set
forth on Schedule 2.2A.
SECTION 3.6 Issuance of Shares. In connection with each
contribution of capital to the Trust under this Article III (other than Section
3.7), and in consideration thereof, the Trust will issue Shares to the Person
contributing such capital as follows:
(a) In respect of capital contributed by Xxxxx Investor
or Holding Partnership, the Trust will issue to the Person making the
contribution (i) a number of Class A Preferred Shares equal to the total amount
contributed by such Person divided by the Issue Price, and (ii) a number of
Class A Common Shares equal to such number of Class A Preferred Shares.
(b) In respect of capital contributed by any GM Investor,
the Trust (i) will issue to such GM Investor (A) a number Class B Preferred

Issue Price and (B) a number of Class B Common Shares equal to 0.925 of such
number of Class B Preferred Shares and (ii) will issue to Xxxxx Investor a
number of Class A Common Shares equal to 0.075 of the number of Class B

$45 million that the GM Investors contribute to the Trust pursuant to Section
3.2, (1) the Trust will issue to the GM Investors in respect of $26,541,390 of
such contribution a number of Class B Common Shares equal to the number of Class

the Trust will issue Shares to the GM Investors and Xxxxx Investor in respect of
the remaining $18,458, 610 of such $45 million contribution as provided in
clauses (i) and (ii) of this sentence without regard to this proviso. Shares
issued to GM Investors pursuant to this Section 3.6(b) shall be apportioned

contributed to the Trust by each such GM Investor. A numerical example of the
application of this Section 3.6(b) is included in Schedule 4.4.

equal to such number of Class A Preferred Shares.
SECTION 3.7 STB Earn Out. If at any time it is determined that
a payment is due to SLR pursuant to Section 3.1(d) of the Master Agreement (an
"STB Earn Out Payment"), then the Trust shall make the STB Earn Out Payment as
required by the Master Agreement out of earnings of (rather than capital
contributions or loans to) the Trust and shall not make any distributions to
Shareholders until the STB Earn Out Amount has been paid in full. An amount
equal to any amount paid by the Trust in respect of the STB Earn Out Payment
shall be deemed to have been distributed, as of the date of each such payment,
to the holders of Preferred Shares
-11-
and contributed by such holders to the Trust pro rata in accordance with the
number of Preferred Shares held. In connection with each such deemed
contribution, the Trust shall issue (a) to each holder of Class A Preferred
Shares deemed to have made such contribution a number of Class A Preferred
Shares equal to the amount of such contribution divided by the Issue Price and a
number of Class A Common Shares equal to such number of Class A Preferred
Shares, (b) to each holder of Class B Preferred Shares deemed to have made such
contribution a number of Class B Preferred Shares equal to the amount of such
contributions divided by the Issue Price and a number of Class B Common Shares

SECTION 4.1 Acquisition of Manhattan Tower.
(a) The GM Investors, Xxxxx Investor and Holding
Partnership shall be obligated to participate in the acquisition and ownership
of Manhattan Tower on the terms set forth in Sections 4.2 through 4.5; provided
that the financing described in the Loan Application and Commitment Agreement,
dated October 6, 2003, between Holding Partnership and Connecticut General Life
Insurance Company (the "Available Financing") is available to finance the
acquisition of Manhattan Tower to the extent, and on the terms, provided
therein. For the avoidance of doubt, Holding Partnership, HILP and their
respective Affiliates retain the right to exercise any and all rights and
remedies they may have with respect to Manhattan Tower under the terms of the
Master Agreement in their sole and absolute discretion.
(b) If the Available Financing is not available as
expected, then GMIMCo may, but shall not be obligated to, elect to cause the GM
Investors to participate in the acquisition and ownership of Manhattan Tower on
the terms set forth in Sections 4.2 through 4.5 by delivering a written notice
to such effect (an "MT Election Notice") to HILP or such Affiliate within 10
Business Days after being notified of the terms, if any, on which financing is
available for the acquisition of Manhattan Tower. If GMIMCo delivers an MT
Election Notice within such 10 Business Day Period, the GM Investors, Xxxxx
Investor and Holding Partnership shall be obligated to participate in the
acquisition of Manhattan Tower on the terms set forth in Sections 4.2 through
4.5. If the Available Financing is not available as expected and GMIMCo does not
deliver an MT Election Notice to HILP within such 10 Business Day period, then
none of GMIMCo, the GM Investors or any other Affiliate of GMIMCo will have any
rights or obligations with respect to Manhattan Tower, HILP and its Affiliates
will have no obligation to GMIMCo or any GM Investor or any of their respective
Affiliates with respect to Manhattan
-12-
Tower, and the parties to this Agreement will have no further obligations under
this Article IV. None of the GM Investors, GMIMCo or any of their respective
Affiliates shall have any co-investment right with respect to Manhattan Tower
under the Investor Rights Agreement or otherwise. GMIMCo, the GM Investors and
their respective Affiliates have no right to participate in the acquisition or
ownership of Manhattan Tower except as provided in this Article IV.
SECTION 4.2 Formation of MT Trust. If GM Investors, Xxxxx
Investor and Holding Partnership are obligated to participate in the acquisition
of Manhattan Tower pursuant to Section 4.1, then such GM Investors, Holding
Partnership and Xxxxx Investor shall organize a Maryland real estate investment
trust (the "MT Trust") for the purpose of acquiring and owning Manhattan Tower.
The MT Trust shall have a declaration of trust substantially in the form
attached as Exhibit C-1 (the "MT Declaration of Trust") and bylaws substantially
in the form attached as Exhibit C-2. In accordance with and subject to the
provisions of the Master Agreement, the MT Trust shall assume the rights and
obligations of the Xxxxx Affiliate having the right or obligation to acquire
Manhattan Tower under the terms of the Master Agreement with respect to the
acquisition of Manhattan Tower. In this Agreement, any reference to a defined
class of shares beginning with "MT" refers to such class of shares as defined in
the MT Declaration of Trust.
SECTION 4.3 Funding of MT Trust. The parties will contribute
capital to the MT Trust in an aggregate amount necessary to provide the equity
needed to fund the acquisition of Manhattan Tower (the "MT Equity Amount") as
follows:
(a) Xxxxx and/or Holding Partnership will contribute cash
to the MT Trust in an aggregate amount equal to the excess of the MT Equity
Amount over $25 million.
(b) Pursuant to the Master Agreement, Holding Partnership
will credit SLR with a $25 million capital contribution to Holding Partnership
in partial consideration for the purchase of Manhattan Tower, and issue $25
million in limited partner interests in Holding Partnership to SLR (the "SLR
Units"). In consideration of the issuance of the SLR Units to SLR, Holding
Partnership will, subject to the last sentence of this Section 4.3(b), be deemed
to have made a capital contribution to the MT Trust in the amount of $25 million
(the "HP MT Contribution Amount"). Notwithstanding anything in this Section
4.3(b) to the contrary, (A) the Xxxxx Group shall contribute to the MT Trust,
through Xxxxx Investor and/or Holding Partnership, the amount, if any, which,
when added to the amount contributed by the Xxxxx Group to the Trust (through
Xxxxx Investor or Holding Partnership), is necessary to cause the aggregate
capital contributions of the Xxxxx Group to the Trust and the MT Trust to be not
less than 1% of the aggregate equity capital of the Trust and the MT Trust and
(B) Xxxxx Investor may, but shall not be obligated to, contribute cash to the MT
Trust in an aggregate amount (including any amount contributed by Xxxxx Investor
pursuant to clause (A) of this sentence) up to 1% of the MT Equity Amount. The
HP MT Contribution Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the total
amount of cash contributed by Xxxxx Investor to the MT Trust pursuant to clauses
(A) and (B) of the preceding sentence.
SECTION 4.4 Trust True-Up.
-13-
(a) The share ownership of the Shareholders in the Trust
and the MT Trust shall be adjusted in the manner described in this Section 4.4,
(A) immediately following the Manhattan Tower Closing and the contribution of
capital to the Trust required by Section 3.3(a) (and the issuance of MT Shares
and Shares in connection therewith) and (B) again, immediately following the
contribution of capital to the Trust required by Section 3.3(b) (and the
issuance of Shares in connection therewith), so that:
(i) the percentage of the total outstanding
Preferred Shares of all classes of the Trust owned by each GM
Investor and the percentage of the total outstanding MT
Preferred Shares of all classes owned by such GM Investor
equals the percentage (such GM Investor's "GM Target Preferred
Percentage") expressed as a fraction, the numerator of which
is the aggregate amount of the capital contributions made by
such GM Investor to the Trust and the denominator of which is
the aggregate amount of equity capital of the Trust and the MT
Trust;
(ii) the ratio of the number of Class B Common
Shares of the Trust owned by each GM Investor to the number of
Class B Preferred Shares of the Trust owned by such GM
Investor and the ratio of the number of MT Class B Common
Shares owned by such GM Investor to the number of MT Class B
Preferred Shares owned by such GM Investor are each equal to
the ratio, expressed as the percentage (such GM Investor's "GM
Target Common Percentage") resulting from a fraction, the
numerator of which is the sum of the number of Class B Common
Shares issued to such GM Investor in exchange for
contributions of cash to the Trust and the denominator of
which is the number of Class B Preferred Shares of the Trust
issued to such GM Investor in exchange for contributions of
cash to the Trust;
(iii) the number of Class A Common Shares of the
Trust held by each Shareholder other than Xxxxx Investor and
the GM Investors equals the number of Class A Preferred Shares
held by such Shareholder, and the number of MT Class A Common
Shares held by each Shareholder other than Xxxxx Investor and
the GM Investors equals the number of MT Class A Preferred
Shares held by such Shareholder.
(b) The adjustment contemplated by Section 4.4(a)(i)
shall be effected in the following manner with respect to each GM Investor: If
the difference between (A) the number of Class B Preferred Shares then owned by
such GM Investor and (B) the product of (1) such GM Investor's GM Target
Preferred Percentage and (2) the total number of Preferred Shares outstanding,
is positive, then such GM Investor shall deliver to Holding Partnership a number
of Class B Preferred Shares equal to such difference in exchange for an equal
number of MT Class A Preferred Shares held by Holding Partnership. If such
difference is negative, Holding Partnership shall deliver to such GM Investor a
number of Class A Preferred Shares equal to such difference in exchange for an
equal number of MT Class B Preferred Shares held by such GM Investor.
-14-
(c) Following the exchanges contemplated by Section
4.4(b), (i) each GM Investor shall deliver to the MT Trust all MT Class A
Preferred Shares received by such GM Investor, if any, which shall be cancelled
by the MT Trust, and the MT Trust shall issue to such GM Investor a like number
of MT Class B Preferred Shares; (ii) each GM Investor shall deliver to the Trust
all Class A Preferred Shares received by such GM Investor, if any, which shall
be cancelled by the Trust, and the Trust shall issue to such GM Investor a like
number of Class B Preferred Shares; (iii) Holding Partnership shall deliver to
the Trust all Class B Preferred Shares received by Holding Partnership, if any,
which shall be cancelled by the Trust, and the Trust shall issue to Holding
Partnership a like number of Class A Preferred Shares; and (iv) Holding

received by Holding Partnership, if any, which shall be cancelled by the MT
Trust, and the MT Trust shall issue to Holding Partnership a like number of MT
Class A Preferred Shares.
(d) The adjustments contemplated by Section 4.4(a)(ii)
shall be effected in the following manner with respect to each GM Investor: If
such adjustment requires a decrease in the number of Common Shares and an
increase in the number of MT Common Shares held by such GM Investor, then such
GM Investor shall deliver to Holding Partnership a number of Class B Common
Shares in exchange for an equal number of MT Class A Common Shares held by
Holding Partnership, which, when subtracted from the number of Class B Common
Shares then owned by such GM Investor, will cause the ratio of the number of
Common Shares owned by such GM Investor (after giving effect to the adjustment
contemplated by this Section 4.4(d)) to the number of Class B Preferred Shares
owned by such GM Investor (after giving effect to the adjustment contemplated by
Sections 4.4(b) and (c)) to equal the GM Target Common Percentage. If such
adjustment requires an increase in the number of Common Shares and a decrease in
the number of MT Common Shares held by such GM Investor, then Holding
Partnership shall deliver to such GM Investor a number of Class A Common Shares
in exchange for an equal number of MT Class B Common Shares held by such GM
Investor, which, when added to the number of Class B Common Shares then owned by
such GM Investor, will cause the ratio of the number of Common Shares owned by
such GM Investor (after giving effect to the adjustment contemplated by this
Section 4.4(d)) to the number of Class B Preferred Shares owned by such GM
Investor (after giving effect to the adjustment contemplated by Sections 4.4(b)
and (c)) to equal the GM Target Common Percentage.
(e) Following the exchanges contemplated by Section
4.4(d): (i) each GM Investor shall deliver to the MT Trust all MT Class A Common
Shares received by such GM Investor, if any, which shall be cancelled by the MT
Trust, and the MT Trust shall issue to such GM Investor a like number of MT
Class B Common Shares; (ii) each GM Investor shall deliver to the Trust all
Class A Common Shares received by such GM Investor, if any, which shall be
cancelled by the Trust, and the Trust shall issue to such GM Investor a like
number of Class B Common Shares; (iii) Holding Partnership shall deliver to the
Trust all Class B Common Shares received by Holding Partnership, if any, which
shall be cancelled by the Trust, and the Trust shall issue to Holding
Partnership a like number of Class A Common Shares; and (iv) Holding Partnership
shall deliver to the MT Trust all MT Class B Common Shares received by Holding
Partnership, if any, which shall be cancelled by the MT Trust, and the MT Trust
shall issue to Holding Partnership a like number of MT Class A Common Shares.

(a) In respect of any capital contributed or deemed
contributed by Xxxxx Investor or Holding Partnership, the MT Trust shall issue
to the Person contributing such capital (i) a number of MT Class A Preferred
Shares equal to the total amount contributed divided by the MT Issue Price, and
(ii) a number of MT Class A Common Shares equal to such number of Class A

corresponding to those set forth in Article VI. The MT Documentation shall
include an agreement among the holders of MT Shares having provisions for the
voting and ownership of MT Shares substantially the same as those in the
Shareholders Agreement for the voting and ownership of Shares. If the MT Trust
is formed as contemplated by this Article IV, then concurrently with the filing

manner that will prevent the realization by GM Investor of unrelated business
taxable income. Prior to the Initial Date, the Trust shall not, without the
prior written consent of GM Investor,

undertake or perform any act, or cause or permit any of its subsidiaries to
undertake or perform any act, that the Trust has been advised by such legal

the First Closing Properties that the Holding Partnership instructs the Trust to
sell. Unless otherwise agreed by the Holding Partnership, the Trust shall cause

by Holding Partnership. If Holding Partnership and the GM Investors or one of
more other Affiliates of GMIMCo participate in the formation of the MT Trust or
any other entity organized for the purpose of acquiring Manhattan Tower, and, at
any time after the MT Trust or any other such entity acquires Manhattan Tower,

ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 7.1 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the other
Transaction Agreements constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto
with respect to the subject
-24-
matter hereof and supersede any prior agreement or understanding among or
between them with respect to such subject matter.
SECTION 7.2 Remedies.
(a) If any party fails to contribute capital to the Trust
in the full amount required and on the date required under the terms of this
Agreement, then such party shall be required to contribute, in addition to the
capital contributions required hereunder, an amount in interest on the defaulted
amount of any such capital contribution computed at the Default Rate (as defined
in the Investor Rights Agreement) from the date such capital contribution was
due until the date such defaulted amount is paid in full. No party shall receive
any additional Shares or other consideration in respect of any default interest
paid pursuant to this Section 7.2(a).
(b) The parties hereto hereby acknowledge and agree that
in the event of any breach of any agreement, obligation or covenant contained in
this Agreement by any party hereto, the other interested party or parties would
be irreparably harmed and could not be made whole by monetary damages. It is
accordingly agreed that, in addition to any other right or remedy that any such
party may have in law or equity under applicable law, the non-breaching
interested party or parties shall be entitled to compel specific performance of
such agreement, obligation or covenant by the nonperforming party or parties.
(c) The remedies specified in subsections (a) and (b) of
this Section 7.2 are in addition to, and not to the exclusion of, any and all
other remedies that may be available at law or in equity to any party hereto for
any breach by any other party of any provision of this Agreement.
SECTION 7.3 Survival. The representations, warranties and
covenants made by the parties hereunder shall survive the closing of the
transactions contemplated hereby for the period of the applicable statutes of
limitations.
SECTION 7.4 Severability. Each provision of this Agreement
shall be considered severable and if for any reason any provision which is not
essential to the effectuation of the basic purposes of this Agreement is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable
and contrary to existing or future applicable law, such invalidity shall not
impair the operation of or affect those provisions of this Agreement which are
valid. In that case, this Agreement shall be construed so as to limit any term
or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of
any applicable law, and in the event such term or provision cannot be so
limited, this Agreement shall be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable
provisions.
SECTION 7.5 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been
duly given if (i) mailed, registered mail, first-class postage paid, (ii) sent
