(a) Except for an assignment by Company to a Permitted Assignee (as hereinafter defined) or a designation of one or more Real Property Designees (as hereinafter defined) as contemplated hereunder, Company shall not assign, transfer or convey its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be granted or withheld by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion. Any assignment or designation hereunder shall be evidenced by a written agreement delivered to Seller pursuant to which (i) with respect to an assignment to a Permitted Assignee only, the Permitted Assignee assumes all obligations of Company hereunder and (ii) each Permitted Assignee or Real Property Designee, as applicable, takes subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement including, without limitation, all "as-is" and "release" provisions. No assignment or designation by Company as contemplated by this Section 15.2 shall release Company from its obligations under this Agreement.
32 |
(b) Company shall have the right to assign, transfer and convey its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a Permitted Assignee identified by Company to Seller in writing not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (together with signature blocks for such Permitted Assignee), without the prior written consent of Seller, in which case the Interests shall be conveyed by Seller to such Permitted Assignee (and not to Company as otherwise set forth in this Agreement) at Closing. For the purposes of this Section 15.2, "Permitted Assignee" shall mean any entity which is controlled by GKK or an affiliate of GKK, in which GKK or an affiliate of GKK holds not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the legal and beneficial interests and in which prior to, and as of the Closing, none of Fortress Investment Group, Davidson Kempner Capital Management, Xxxxxxx Xxxxx Mortgage Company or Citicorp North America, Inc., or any of their respective affiliates (individually and collectively, the "Prohibited Transferee"), retains an interest.
(c) Subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and Bank of America N.A.'s rights thereunder (including, without limitation, complying with all purchase option procedures set forth therein), Company shall have the right, without the consent of Seller, to designate one or more parties to whom one or more (but not substantially all) Real Properties are to be transferred at Closing (each such party, a "Real Property Designee") by delivery of written notice to Seller in writing not less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the Closing Date (together with signature blocks for each Real Property Designee and drafts of all transfer documents to effectuate such transfer, which must be in form and substance acceptable to Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, and must be delivered with Company's notice to Seller), in which case the Real Property identified by Company in such notice shall be conveyed directly by Seller to such Real Property Designee (and not pursuant to the transfer of Interests as otherwise set forth in this Agreement), as applicable, at Closing. For the purposes of this Section 15.2, a "Real Property Designee" may not include any entity in which the Prohibited Transferee retains an interest. In addition to Seller's other obligations under this Agreement and subject to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease and Bank of America N.A.'s rights thereunder, during the term of this Agreement, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with, and use good faith efforts to comply with all reasonable requests by, Company and/or Property Manager in connection with Company's efforts to market certain Real Properties for sale including, without limitation, (i) executing and delivering (or causing the Owners to execute and deliver) in a timely manner documentation customary in connection with the sale of real property in form and substance acceptable to Seller, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, including deeds and other conveyance documents (but not including any purchase and sale or similar agreement, the parties agreeing that Company shall execute any purchase and sale or similar agreement directly with any Real Property Designee), and (ii) permitting any potential Real Property Designee to perform any diligence with respect to the Property to the extent Company is permitted to perform such diligence hereunder, the parties agreeing that Company shall be obligated under Section 4.3.1 (which shall include Company's indemnification obligations thereunder with respect to inspections undertaken by any Real Property Designee or its agents) with respect to any diligence performed by or on behalf of a potential Real Property Designee pursuant to the terms of this Section 15.2(c). Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Section 15.2(c), (i) neither Seller nor any Owner shall have any obligation to execute and/or deliver any document that would result in any cost, expense or liability to Seller or any Owner not expressly provided for in this Agreement, (ii) Company shall reimburse Seller for its reasonable, out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with its cooperation hereunder including reasonable attorneys fees, (iii) Seller shall have the right to approve, in its sole and absolute discretion, any and all documents required to be executed by Seller and/or any Owner under the terms of this Section 15.2(c), (iv) no notice shall be provided to Bank of America N.A. under the Master Lease with respect to any of the purchase rights granted to Bank of America N.A. thereunder without Seller’s prior written approval, which may be withheld by Seller in it sole and absolute discretion, and (v) neither Seller nor any Owner shall be required to comply with any of the provisions of this Section 15.2(c) to the extent the same would violate any of the terms and conditions of the Master Lease or any other agreement to which Seller or any Owner is a party.
(d) Subject to the foregoing, and except as provided to the contrary herein, the terms, covenants, conditions and warranties contained herein and the powers granted hereby shall inure to the benefit of and bind all parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns, and all subsequent owners of the Interests and/or Real Property.
33 |
(e) Seller shall not assign, transfer or convey any of its rights or obligations hereunder.
15.3 Work Product. In the event of a termination of this Agreement for any reason other than a default or breach by Seller hereunder, promptly following the termination of this Agreement and at no cost or expense to Seller, Company shall deliver to Seller final versions of all real property-level reports and studies commissioned by Company and generated by an outside provider or consultant in connection solely with inspections of the Real Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (collectively, the “Work Product”); provided, however, with respect to any specific Work Product, Company shall have no obligation to deliver such Work Product to Seller if such delivery is restricted or prohibited by the applicable provider or consultant.
15.4 Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed or delivered by Seller or Company, Seller and Company hereby agree to perform, execute and deliver, or cause to be performed, executed and delivered, on the Closing Date or thereafter any and all such further acts, deeds and assurances as Company or Seller, as the case may be, may reasonably require in order to consummate fully the transactions contemplated hereunder.
15.5 Attorneys’ Fees. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought or if an attorney is retained for the enforcement of this Agreement or any portion thereof, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to seek to recover from the other party reimbursement for the reasonable fees of attorneys and other costs (including court costs and witness fees) incurred by it, in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. The term “prevailing party” means the party obtaining substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or judgment.
15.6 Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.
(a) Each party's obligations with respect to the Surviving Closing Obligations and the Surviving Termination Obligations (each as hereinafter defined) shall survive the Closing and/or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable, for a period of thirteen (13) months immediately following the Closing Date or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable (excluding Seller's obligations under Sections 5.6, which shall survive the Closing without limitation); and
(b) any claim based upon any such breach of a representation or warranty, a breach of a covenant, obligation or agreement, or an other obligation with respect to the Surviving Closing Obligations and/or the Surviving Termination Obligations shall be actionable and enforceable if and only if notice of such claim is given to the breaching or obligated party within thirteen (13) months after the Closing Date or termination of this Agreement, as applicable; provided, however (with respect to (a) and (b) of this Section 15.6):
(i) in no event shall Seller’s obligations hereunder (excluding Seller's liability and obligations relating to Section 5.6, Section 10.11 and Section 11.1(d) hereof) exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), in the aggregate; provided, further, however,
(ii) Seller’s liability and obligation with respect to Section 5.6, Section 10.11 and Section 11.1(d) hereof shall be unlimited, and (except for obligations under Section 10.11 and Section 11.(d) hereof, which shall be subject to the terms of Section 15.6(a) above) any claim relating to Section 5.6 shall be actionable and enforceable any time after the Closing Date; and
34 |

(iv) Company's liability and obligation with respect to Section 10.11 hereof shall be unlimited, subject to the terms of Section 15.6(a) above.

15.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties in respect to the subject matter hereof, and the parties intend for the literal words of this Agreement to govern and for all prior negotiations, drafts, and other extrinsic communications, whether oral or written, to have no significance or evidentiary effect.

The parties hereto fully understand and acknowledge the importance of the foregoing sentence and are aware that the law may permit subsequent oral modification of a contract notwithstanding contract language which requires that any such modification be in writing; but Company and Seller fully and expressly intend that the foregoing requirements as to a writing be strictly adhered to and strictly interpreted and enforced by any court which may be asked to decide the question. Each party hereto acknowledges that this Agreement accurately reflects the agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and hereby waive any claim against the other party which such party may now have or may hereafter acquire to the effect that the actual agreements and understandings of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof may not be accurately set forth in this Agreement.
15.8 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
15.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
15.10 Headings; Construction. The various headings of this Agreement are included for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or any provision hereof. When the context and construction so require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and the neuter and vice versa. The use in this Agreement of the term “including” and related terms such as “include” shall in all cases mean “without limitation.” All references to “days” in this Agreement shall be construed to mean calendar days unless there is an express reference to Business Days.
35 |
15.11 Waiver of CC Section 1662. Each of Seller and Company expressly waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1662 and hereby agrees that the provisions of Section 5.5 hereof shall govern its obligations in the event of damage or destruction to the Real Property or condemnation of all or part of the Real Property.
15.12 Partial Validity; Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, the last day of any period of time described herein shall be deemed to end at 5:00 p.m., California time.
15.16 Indemnity; Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim, such indemnitee will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnitor, deliver to the indemnitor written notice thereof and the indemnitor shall have the right to participate in and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages, and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if counsel to the indemnitee has advised that that representation of such indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential conflicts or differing interests between such indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure of indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall relieve such indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under this indemnity only if and to the extent that such failure is prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, and the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnitor will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than under this indemnity. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, then the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to such claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld such consent.
15.17 Waiver of Jury Trial. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the parties hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.
15.18 [Intentionally Deleted].

15.21 [Intentionally Deleted].
15.22 GKK Guaranty. GKK, by executing and delivering the joinder attached hereto, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees (the “GKK Guarantee”) to Seller the punctual and full performance by Company of all of its obligations arising from and after the Closing pursuant to the terms of Section 15.6; provided, however, (i) except as set forth in clause (ii) of this Section 15.22, GKK shall not be required to pay any amount that, together with any and all amounts paid by Company pursuant to the terms of Section 15.6 hereof, would exceed Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000), in the aggregate and (ii) GKK's liability, if any, with respect to Company's obligations under Section 10.11 hereof shall be unlimited. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, GKK's obligations under this Section 15.22 shall only be actionable and enforceable if, and only if, notice of any claim is given to GKK within thirteen (13) months after the Closing Date. The GKK Guarantee is absolute and unconditional irrespective of circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or any defense, setoff or counterclaim available to, GKK. GKK agrees not to effect or agree to take any action that would adversely affect GKK's ability to carry out any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Section 15.22.
15.23 REIT 1 Guaranty. KBS Real Estate Investment Trust, Inc.

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, REIT 1's obligations under this Section 15.23 shall only be actionable and enforceable if, and only if, notice of any claim is given to REIT 1 within thirteen (13) months after the Closing Date, unless such claim relates to Seller's obligations under Section 5.6, which claim shall survive the Closing without limitation and any claim hereunder based upon Seller's obligations with respect to Section 5.6 shall be actionable and enforceable any time after the Closing Date. The REIT 1 Guarantee is absolute and unconditional irrespective of circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or any defense, setoff or counterclaim available to, REIT 1.

This STOCKHOLDER AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), dated as of August [•], 2012, is entered into by and between Gramercy Capital Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and KBS Acquisition Sub-Owner 2, LLC (the “Stockholder”), a Delaware limited liability company.
WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Stockholder and BBD1 Acquisition LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, are entering into an Agreement for Sale of Membership Interests, dated as of the date hereof (in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto, the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which, inter alia, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and the Stockholder agreed to purchase 2,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, 2,000,000 shares of Class B-1 Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, and 2,000,000 shares of Class B-2 Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share, for a purchase price of $2.50 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000.00 (such shares being referred to herein collectively as the “Shares” and, for the avoidance of doubt, all references herein to the Stockholder’s Shares shall include not only all the Shares stated above, but also all additional shares of capital stock of the Company that are owned directly or indirectly by the Stockholder, subject in all cases to Transfers of such Shares that have been made to Permitted Transferees to the extent permitted by and in accordance with Section 2(a)).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. Voting of Shares. Unless otherwise requested by the Company, the Stockholder covenants and agrees that, until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company, however called, and in any action by written consent of the stockholders of the Company, the Stockholder will, if a meeting is held, appear at the meeting, in person or by proxy, or otherwise cause its Shares to be counted as present thereat for purposes of establishing a quorum and will at a meeting, if one is held or otherwise if consents are solicited, vote or consent to, or cause to be voted or consented to, all of the Shares, in accordance with the recommendation or direction of the Company’s Board of Directors. The Stockholder further agrees until the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, not to commit or agree to take any action inconsistent with the foregoing prior to such termination. For the avoidance of doubt, subject to Section 2 hereof, the Stockholder shall retain at all times the right to vote the Stockholder’s Shares in the Stockholder’s sole discretion and without any other limitations on those matters other than those set forth in this Section 1 that are at any time or from time to time presented for consideration to the Company’s stockholders generally.
2. Transfer of Shares.
(a) The Stockholder covenants and agrees that, until the earlier of [February] [•],1 2013 and termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, without the written consent of the Company, the Stockholder will not directly or indirectly (i) subject to Section 2(c), sell, assign, transfer (including by merger or by operation of law), encumber, grant a participation in, gift-over, assign or otherwise dispose of, whether by liquidation, dissolution, dividend, distribution or otherwise (“Transfer”) any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership (as hereinafter defined) thereof, (ii) deposit any Shares into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement or arrangement with respect to any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership thereof or grant or agree to grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect thereto that is inconsistent with this Agreement or (iii) enter into any contract, option or other arrangement or undertaking with respect to the direct or indirect Transfer of any Shares or the Beneficial Ownership thereof, except, in each case under clause (i) and clause (iii), to a Permitted Transferee. For purposes of this Agreement, “Beneficial Ownership” and “Beneficially Owned” shall have the meaning given to such term in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act (disregarding the reference to “within 60 days” in Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i)). As used herein, a “Permitted Transferee” shall mean a Person that before such action proposed under Section 2(a)(i) or Section 2(a)(iii) occurs, is (x) the Company, or (y) any Affiliate of the Stockholder who, upon such Transfer, becomes a party to this Agreement and agrees in writing, in form and substance to the reasonable satisfaction of the Company, to be bound as a Stockholder under this Agreement and has not violated this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to prohibit the Stockholder or any Permitted Transferee from pledging their direct or indirect interests in any Shares as security for a loan contracted by the Stockholder, such Permitted Transferee or any Affiliate thereof, or to prohibit any Pledgee thereof from exercising its rights under or in connection with such pledge.

Re: | Share Ownership Limit |
Reference is made to that certain Agreement for Sale of Membership Interests, dated as of August [16], 2012 (the "Agreement"), by and between Gramercy Capital Corp. (the "Company") and KBS Acquisition Sub-Owner 2, LLC ( "KBS"). Pursuant to the Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to issue and sell, and KBS agreed to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share ("Common Stock"), 2,000,000 shares of Class B-1 Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, and 2,000,000 shares of Class B-2 Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share (together, with the Common Stock and Class B-1 Common Stock, the "Common Shares"), which, upon purchase, together with the approximately [ ] shares of Common Stock already owned by KBS and its affiliates (together, the "KBS Common Shares"), will represent approximately [ ]% of the aggregate outstanding Common Shares. Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in the Agreement.
The Company has received your letter, dated August [ ], 2012 (the "Representation Letter"), making certain representations regarding the classification of KBS and the Beneficial Owners and Constructive Owners (as such terms or their correlatives are defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles")) of the KBS Common Shares. Based upon the Representation Letter, the Company hereby advises you that an exception to the Ownership Limit (as such term is defined in the Articles) has been established for KBS equal to the number of KBS Common Shares immediately after the execution of the Agreement and reduced upon each subsequent sale, exchange, transfer or disposition by KBS of KBS Common Shares by the amount of KBS Common Shares sold, exchanged, transferred or otherwise disposed.
KBS shall be entitled to rely on the exceptions described herein unless any information contained in the Representation Letter is or becomes incorrect, or KBS fails to provide to the Company a bring-down representation letter, as described below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ownership of the KBS Common Shares by KBS and the Constructively Owned Shares by KBS shall remain subject to the Ownership Limits imposed by the Articles to the extent that such ownership results in any "individual" (within the meaning of Section 542(a)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as modified by Section 856(h) of the Code) Beneficially Owning or Constructively Owning common stock or preferred stock of the Company in excess of the Ownership Limit or would otherwise cause the Company to fail to qualify as a real estate investment trust (a "REIT") under the Code. In addition, if KBS fails to provide to the Company, at the Company's request, within a reasonable period of time after such request by the Company, a bring-down representation letter setting forth the representations contained in the Representation Letter, the ownership of the KBS Common Shares by KBS and the Constructively Owned KBS Common Shares by KBS will be subject to the Ownership Limits imposed by the Articles and may result in the application of the remedies set forth in Sections 2, 3, 4 and 7 of Article VII of the Articles with respect to any KBS Common Shares Beneficially Owned or Constructively Owned by KBS in excess of the Ownership Limit.
Nothing in this letter shall be deemed to grant any person, other than KBS, permission to own securities of the Company in excess of the Company's otherwise applicable Ownership Limit (as defined in the Articles).
Very truly yours,
