STOCK REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
This Stock Repurchase Agreement (the "AGREEMENT"), dated September 25,
2000, is entered into by and between Xxxx Gardens, LLC., a Nevada limited
liability company ("SELLER"), and Glenborough Realty Trust Incorporated, a
Maryland corporation ("BUYER"), with respect to the Common Stock, $.001 par
value per share (the "COMMON STOCK") of Seller.
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, Seller owns of record or beneficially, 2,013,700 shares of the
Common Stock (collectively, the "SHARES"); and
WHEREAS, Buyer has proposed to purchase and Seller has agreed to sell
all of the shares (the "SHARES") of Common Stock held of record or beneficially
by the Seller as of the closing of the transactions contemplated in this
Agreement; and
WHEREAS, contemporaneously herewith, Seller and one or more of its
affiliates, on the one hand, and Buyer and one of more of its affiliates, on the
other, have entered into that certain Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith
(the "PURCHASE AGREEMENT") pursuant to which Seller has agreed to purchase or
cause to be purchased and Buyer has agreed to sell or cause to be sold certain
multifamily residential properties; and
WHEREAS, as a condition precedent to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated in the Purchase Agreement, Seller has agreed to sell
and Buyer has agreed to repurchase, the Shares, upon the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants contained herein, and such other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer do
hereby agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE AND SALE OF SHARES
1.1 Purchase and Sale, Purchase Consideration. Upon the terms and
subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Securities Closing (as
subsequently defined) Seller will sell, assign, transfer and convey, or cause to
be sold, assigned, transferred or conveyed to Buyer, and Buyer will purchase
from Seller, the Shares, free and clear of any liens, claims, pledges,
liabilities, obligations, charges, options, rights of first refusal,
limitations, restrictions, trusts, security interests or other encumbrances of
any kind whatsoever resulting from the actions of Seller (individually, a "LIEN"
and collectively, "LIENS"), other than those existing under Buyer's Articles of
Incorporation or those existing under state and federal securities laws
generally, for the Purchase Price described below.
5
1.2 Determination of Purchase Price. The purchase price (the
"PURCHASE PRICE") for the Shares shall be an amount in cash equal to the sum of
(A) $18.50 per share of Common Stock and (B) a pro rata portion of the per share
amount of any unpaid dividend on or distribution payable to record holders of
the Shares at any time during the fiscal quarter of the Securities Closing,
based upon the number of days elapsed since the beginning of the fiscal quarter
during which the Securities Closing occurs, and the Securities Closing, as
compared to the aggregate number of days in that fiscal quarter. The intent of
the preceding sentence is to assure that the Seller receives the benefit of
dividends or distributions declared or paid during the fiscal quarter of the
Securities Closing, adjusted to reflect the number of days during the quarter in
question that the Seller was a record or beneficial holder of the Shares. To the
extent that a dividend or distribution on the Shares is declared after the
Securities Closing, but before the end of the then current fiscal quarter, the
amount payable by Buyer pursuant to clause (B) of the first sentence of this
Section 1.2 shall not be paid at the time of the Securities Closing (since the
amount will then be unknown) but will instead be remitted not later than the
third day following the payment date for the dividend or distribution in
question. To the extent that the Purchase Price shall be increased to reflect a
declared but unpaid dividend on the Common Stock, Seller shall, pursuant to
Section 1.4 below, assign its rights to the dividend in question to Buyer.
1.3 Price Adjustments. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.2
hereof to the contrary, in the event that the Shares shall be the subject of any
stock split, stock dividend or similar transaction pursuant to which holders of
shares of the Common Stock, including the Seller, actually receive, without the
payment of additional consideration, any additional shares of Common Stock, the
number of Shares constituting all of the Shares and the specific dollar amounts
described in the preceding sentence shall be appropriately and proportionately
adjusted. Each of the parties will cooperate in connection with the purchase and
delivery of additional shares of Common Stock to be received by Seller with
respect to any stock dividend or stock split payable after the Securities
Closing to holders of record prior thereto In the event that holders of the
Common Stock, including the Seller, shall have received, without the payment of
additional consideration, any other security or other property with respect to
the Common Stock, whether by way of a dividend, stock combination, stock split
or otherwise, and such security or other property shall be listed for trading
separately from the Common Stock and have been trading on the New York Stock
Exchange or another national securities exchange for not less than eleven
trading days prior to the Securities Closing (such separately listed securities
or property being the "ADDITIONAL STOCK"), the "Shares" shall be deemed to
include, for all purposes hereunder, such Additional Stock. Notwithstanding the
immediately preceding sentence, the Seller, at its sole option, shall be
entitled to retain and not convey to the Buyer any additional securities, or
rights thereto, received with respect to the Common Stock, and in such event,
the "Shares" shall not include such securities and the Purchase Price shall be
reduced, by the average of the closing prices reported on the New York Stock
Exchange (or such other national securities exchange) of any such Additional
Stock withheld by Seller for the ten trading days ending in the trading day
preceding the Securities Closing. No adjustment shall be made for securities
withheld which are not Additional Stock.
1.4 Securities Closing. The closing of the transactions contemplated
herein (the "SECURITIES CLOSING") shall occur at the offices of Buyer, or at
such other place as the parties may
2
6
agree, contemporaneously with the closing of the transactions contemplated in
the Purchase Agreement. At the Securities Closing, the Buyer shall pay the
Purchase Price in cash to the Seller's order by wire transfer of immediately
available funds against delivery by the Seller of (i) a guarantee of delivery of
the Shares by a member of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.
and an appropriate assignment separate or other instrument of transfer with
regard thereto in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the parties and
(ii) in the event that the Purchase Price shall have been increased in the
manner contemplated in Section 1.2 above to reflect any declared but unpaid
dividend on the Common Stock, an assignment, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the parties, of Seller's right to receive such dividend.
2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
2.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby
represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:
(a) Due Organization, Good Standing and Power. Seller is a limited
liability company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of the State of Nevada and has all requisite power and authority to own
its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted and to enter
into this Agreement and perform its obligations hereunder. Seller is duly
qualified or licensed to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned, leased or operated
by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing
necessary.
(b) Authorization and Validity of Agreement. The Seller has the full
corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and
performance by Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by the Seller of
the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly and validly authorized by
all necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of
the Seller are necessary to authorize this Agreements or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Seller and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and accept that the availability of equitable
remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the
court before which any proceedings therefore may be brought.
(c) No Conflict. No filing with, and no permit, authorization,
consent, or approval of, any foreign or domestic public body or authority is
necessary for the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. The execution and the delivery of this Agreement by the Seller,
the consummation by the Seller of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the compliance by the Seller with any of the provisions of this
Agreement will not (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of
the Articles of Incorporations or Bylaws of the Seller; (ii) result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time
or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration) under, any of the
3
7
terms, conditions, or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, indenture,
license, lease, contract, agreement, or other instrument or obligation to which
the Seller is a party or by which any of its properties or assets may be bound;
or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule, or
regulation applicable to the Seller or any of its properties or assets.
(d) Title to Shares. Seller has or will obtain from one of more of
its affiliates good and marketable title to the Shares free and clear of any
Liens not subject to satisfaction at or prior to the Securities Closing.
(e) Finders and Investment Bankers. Except as previously disclosed
in writing to the Buyer, neither the Seller nor any of its officers or
directors, or any of their respective affiliates, has employed any investment
banker, business consultant, financial advisor, broker or finder in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or incurred in any
liability for any investment banking, business consultancy, financial advisory,
brokerage or finder's fees or commissions in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby, except for fees payable to mortgage bankers and others with
respect to certain financing transactions related to the consummation of the
transactions contemplated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.
(f) Litigation. There is (i) no suit, proceeding, action or claim
pending or threatened, (ii) no investigation or inquiry by any administrative
agency or governmental body pending or threatened and (iii) no legal,
administrative or arbitration proceeding pending or threatened, to which the
Seller is or, to the best knowledge of Seller, might become a party, challenging
or seeking to prohibit or delay consummation of the transaction contemplated at
the Securities Closing, which is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse
effect on the financial condition of Seller or Seller's ability to convey the
Shares, or which is reasonably likely to result in a claim against the Shares
(or any portion thereof), and, to the best knowledge of Seller there is no basis
or grounds for any such suit, action, claim, investigation, inquiry or
proceeding.
(g) Solvency, Value. Seller is not now Insolvent (as subsequently
defined), nor will Seller be rendered Insolvent by the consummation of the

the Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated at the Securities

creditors or any person with a lien upon, a claim against or an encumbrance on
any of Seller's property. Seller does not intend to incur debts beyond its
ability to pay as such debts become due, and there is no reasonable basis for
believing that it has or will incurred debts beyond its ability to pay as such
debts mature. The Purchase Price to be received for the Shares was arrived at by
arm's length negotiation between unrelated parties under no compulsion to agree
to or consummate a transaction and represents (i) reasonably equivalent value as
that term is utilized in section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code and/or
the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and (ii) fair consideration as that term is
utilized in the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act. As used in this Agreement,
"Insolvent" means, with respect to any person or entity, that (i) the sum of the
present fair saleable value of such person's or entity's assets does not exceed
such person's or entity's debts and other probable liabilities, (ii) such
person's capital is unreasonably small or otherwise inadequate for the conduct
of its business as presently conducted or as contemplated to be conducted, or
(iii) such person or entity is not able to pay its debts as they mature.
4
8
(h) Knowledge, Access. Seller has been provided access to such
information regarding the Common Stock, the Buyer, and the Buyer's assets,
financial condition and business prospects, including access to executive
officers of the Buyer, as it deems necessary to the making of an informed
decision to sell the Shares as contemplated herein. Seller is a sophisticated
investor with extensive experience in purchase and sale of securities and in the
conduct of businesses similar to that of the Buyer.
2.2 Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and
warrants to Seller as follows:
(a) Due Organization, Good Standing and Power. Buyer is a
corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the

standing in each jurisdiction in which the properties owned, leased or operated
by it or the nature of its business makes such qualification or licensing
necessary.
(b) Authorization and Validity of Agreement. The Buyer has the full
corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to
consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. The execution, delivery and
performance by Buyer of this Agreement and the consummation by the Buyer of the

necessary corporate action and no other corporate proceedings on the part of the
Buyer are necessary to authorize this Agreements or to consummate the
transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly
executed and delivered by the Buyer and constitutes a valid and binding
obligation of the Buyer, enforceable against the Buyer in accordance with its
terms, except to the extent that its enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement
of creditors' rights generally and accept that the availability of equitable
remedies, including specific performance, is subject to the discretion of the
court before which any proceedings therefore may be brought.
(c) No Conflict. No filing with, and no permit, authorization,
consent, or approval of, any foreign or domestic public body or authority is
necessary for the consummation by the Buyer of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement. The execution and the delivery of this Agreement by the Buyer,

Agreement and the compliance by the Buyer with any of the provisions of this
Agreement will not (i) conflict with or result in any breach of any provision of
the Articles of Incorporations or Bylaws of the Buyer; (ii) result in a
violation or breach of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time
or both) a default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or
acceleration) under, any of the terms, conditions, or provisions of any note,
bond, mortgage, indenture, license, lease, contract, agreement, or other
instrument or obligation to which the Buyer is a party or by which any of its
properties or assets may be bound; or (iii) violate any order, writ, injunction,
decree, statute, rule, or regulation applicable to the Buyer or any of its
properties or assets.
5
9
(d) Finders and Investment Bankers. Except as previously disclosed
to Seller in writing, neither the Buyer nor any of its officers or directors, or
any of their respective affiliates, has employed any investment banker, business
consultant, financial advisor, broker or finder in connection with the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or incurred in any liability for
any investment banking, business consultancy, financial advisory, brokerage or
finder's fees or commissions in connection with the transactions contemplated
hereby.
(e) Litigation. There is (i) no suit, proceeding, action or claim
pending or threatened, (ii) no investigation or inquiry by any administrative
agency or governmental body pending or threatened and (iii) no legal,
administrative or arbitration proceeding pending or threatened, to which the
Buyer is or, to the best knowledge of Buyer, might become a party, challenging
or seeking to prohibit or delay consummation of the transaction contemplated at
the Securities Closing, which is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse
effect on the financial condition of Buyer or Buyer's ability to convey the
Shares, or which is reasonably likely to result in a claim against the Shares
(or any portion thereof), and, to the best knowledge of Buyer there is no basis
or grounds for any such suit, action, claim, investigation, inquiry or
proceeding.
(f) Investment Representation. Buyer is the issuer of the Shares and
is acquiring such Shares for its own account and not with a view to or in
connection with, any distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended or any applicable state securities laws. The funds
constituting the Purchase Price will be obtained by Buyer from its own working
capital and will not represent the proceeds of subscriptions or loans by any
third party, including any direct or indirect subsidiary or other affiliate of
the Buyer, having, or expecting, an interest, whether as an investor, pledgee or
other stakeholder, in the Shares.
(g) Solvency, Value. Buyer is not now Insolvent (as subsequently
defined), nor will Buyer be rendered Insolvent by the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer's agreement to enter into the
Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated at the Securities
Closing involves no actual intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of Buyer's
creditors or any person with a lien upon, a claim against or an encumbrance on
any of Buyer's property. Buyer does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability
to pay as such debts become due, and there is no reasonable basis for believing
that it has or will incurred debts beyond its ability to pay as such debts
mature. The Purchase Price to be paid for the Shares was arrived at by arm's
length negotiation between unrelated parties under no compulsion to agree to or
consummate a transaction and the exchange of the Shares therefor represents (i)
reasonably equivalent value as that term is utilized in section 548 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code and/or the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act and
(ii) fair consideration as that term is utilized in the Uniform Fraudulent
Conveyance Act. The capital surplus of Buyer as of the date hereof is not, and
such capital surplus as of the Securities Closing will not be, less than
$250,000,000. None of the Buyer's subsidiaries, as described in the Company
Reports (as defined below) is Insolvent and none will be rendered Insolvent as a
result of the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
6
10
(h) Buyer's Periodic Reports. At least since December 31, 1998, the
Buyer has filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and Buyer will file
prior to the Securities Closing, all forms, reports, statements, and documents
required to be filed by it pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the "SECURITIES ACT"), and
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations
promulgated thereunder (the "EXCHANGE ACT"), together with all amendments,
supplements or exhibits thereto required by the Securities Act or the Exchange
Act (collectively, the "COMPANY Reports") and has otherwise complied in all
material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act. As of their respective dates, the Company Reports did not and will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were or will be made, not
misleading. Each of the historical consolidated balance sheets included in or
incorporated by reference into the Company Reports as of its date and each of
the historical consolidated statements of income and earnings, shareholders'
equity, and cash flows included in or incorporated by reference into the Company
Reports (including any related notes and schedules) fairly presents or will
fairly present the consolidated financial condition, results of operations,
shareholders' equity, and cash flows, as the case may be, of the Buyer and its
subsidiaries for the periods set forth (subject in the case of unaudited
statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments), in each case in accordance
with generally accepted accounting principals consistently applied during the
periods involved.

relating to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by Buyer or members of its
Board of Directors and in any way related to the execution and delivery of this
Agreement or the Purchase Agreement, the performance of this Agreement or the
Purchase Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
thereunder.
5.3 Notice and Opportunity to Defend.
(a) If any of the persons entitled to indemnification hereunder (an
"INDEMNITEE") receives notice of any claim or commencement of any action or
proceeding (an "ASSERTED LIABILITY") with respect to which another person (the
"INDEMNITOR") is obligated to provide indemnification pursuant to Section 4.1 or
Section 4.2 hereof, the Indemnitee shall promptly give the Indemnitor written
notice thereof, describing the Asserted Liability in reasonable detail and
indicating the amount (which may be estimated) of the Loss that has been or may
be asserted by the Indemnitee against the Indemnitor.
(b) The failure of the Indemnitee to give such notice shall not
result in a loss of the Indemnitee's right to indemnification under this Article
4 unless such failure prejudices the Indemnitor's ability to defend against the
Asserted Liability.
(c) No settlement or compromise of an Asserted Liability may be made
by the Indemnitee without the written consent of the Indemnitor, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld.
10
14
(d) If the Indemnitor so elects, the Indemnitor, at the Indemnitor's
expense shall assume the defense of the Asserted Liability and shall have the
right to settle or compromise the same, except that if the Indemnitee's counsel
reasonably objects to such assumption on the ground that there may be legal
defenses available to the Indemnitee that are different from or in addition to
those available to the Indemnitor, then the Indemnitee shall have the right to
employ separate counsel approved by the Indemnitor.
(e) If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Asserted Liability,
the Indemnitor shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of the Indemnitee's
counsel incurred thereafter in connection with the Asserted Liability.
(f) In no event shall the Indemnitor be liable for the fees and
expenses of more than one counsel for any, some or all Indemnitees in any one
action or separate but similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction
arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, unless in the
reasonable opinion of such counsel, there is, under applicable standards of
professional conduct a conflict on any significant issue between the positions
of any two Indemnitees.
5.4 Compounded Losses. No party otherwise entitled to
indemnification under this Agreement shall be indemnified pursuant to this
Agreement to the extent that such party's Loss is increased by the willful
misconduct, violation of law, gross negligence or bad faith of such party.
5.5 Subrogation Rights. In the event that an Indemnitor shall be
obligated to indemnify and Indemnitee pursuant to this Article 5, the Indemnitor
shall upon payment of any Loss in full, or upon agreement to do so, be
subrogated to all rights of the Indemnitee with respect to the Loss to which
such indemnification relates; provided, however, that the Indemnitor shall only
be subrogated to the extent of any amount actually paid by it pursuant to this
Article 5 in connection with such Loss.

having reasonable control shall continue to be liable hereunder.
