CLOSING CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT
(LIVERMORE/PARCEL 6)

This CLOSING CERTIFICATE AND AGREEMENT (LIVERMORE/PARCEL 6) (this “Agreement”), dated as of December 18, 2007 (the “Effective Date”), is made by and between BNP PARIBAS LEASING CORPORATION (“BNPPLC”), a Delaware corporation, and XXX RESEARCH CORPORATION (“LRC”), a Delaware corporation.

RECITALS

Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, BNPPLC and LRC are executing a Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) dated as of the Effective Date (the "Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement”), which by this reference is incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes. As used in this Agreement, capitalized terms defined in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are intended to have the respective meanings assigned to them in the Common Definitions and Provisions Agreement.

Also contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC is acquiring the Land described in Exhibit A and any existing Improvements on the Land pursuant to the Existing Contract.

Also contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC and LRC are executing a Construction Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) dated as of the Effective Date (the"Construction Agreement”) and a Lease Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) dated as of the Effective Date (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Construction Agreement, BNPPLC is agreeing to provide funding for the construction of new Improvements. When the term of the Lease commences, the Lease will cover the Land, which is described in Exhibit A, and the other Property.

Also contemporaneously with this Agreement, BNPPLC and LRC are executing a Agreement Regarding Purchase and Remarketing Options (Livermore/Parcel 6) dated as of the Effective Date (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which LRC may purchase or arrange for the purchase of the Property and BNPPLC may collect a Supplemental Payment from LRC sufficient to cover all or a substantial portion of the Lease Balance not otherwise repaid to BNPPLC from the proceeds of any sale of the Property.

As a condition to BNPPLC’s acquisition of the Land and its execution of the other Operative Documents, BNPPLC requires the representations and covenants of LRC set out below.

AGREEMENTS

In consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1 Representations, Covenants and Acknowledgments
of LRC Concerning the Property. To induce BNPPLC to purchase the Property from the Prior Owner and to enter into this Agreement and the other Operative Documents, LRC represents, covenants and acknowledges as follows:

(A) Prior Inspections and Investigations Concerning the Property. LRC has thoroughly inspected, investigated and evaluated the condition of and title to the Property and Applicable Laws which will govern the construction, use and operation of the Property required or permitted by the Operative Documents, as necessary to make the representations concerning the Property set forth in this Agreement and other Operative Documents.

(B) Title. Because of the conveyance from the Prior Owner to BNPPLC contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement, good and indefeasible title to the Land and Improvements is currently vested in BNPPLC, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances, the rights of LRC itself under the Operative Documents and any Liens Removable by BNPPLC. LRC will not, without the prior consent of BNPPLC, create, place or authorize, or through any act or failure to act, acquiesce to or suffer the placing of, any deed of trust, mortgage or other Lien, whether statutory, constitutional or contractual against or covering the Property or any part thereof (other than Permitted Encumbrances and Liens Removable by BNPPLC), regardless of whether the same are expressly or otherwise subordinate to the Operative Documents or BNPPLC’s interest in the Property.

(C) Title Insurance. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Agreement LRC must provide to BNPPLC a title insurance policy or binder committing the applicable title insurer to issue a title insurance policy covering Land, without the payment of further premiums (as the case may be, the “Title Policy”) in the amount of no less than $32,375,000, in form and substance satisfactory to BNPPLC (including the endorsements which have been requested by BNPPLC), written by one or more title insurance companies satisfactory to BNPPLC and insuring BNPPLC’s fee estate in the Land and Improvements.

(D) Condition of the Property. The Land described in Exhibit A is the same as the land described in the Title Policy and as shown as Parcel 6 on the plat included as part of the ALTA/ACSM Survey prepared by Xxxx & Xxxxxx, Civil Engineers & Surveyors, Inc., dated September 17, 2007, Job No. A00522-13 (the “Survey”), which survey was delivered to BNPPLC at the request of LRC. All material improvements on the Land as of the Effective Date are as shown on the Survey, and except as shown on the Survey there are no easements or encroachments encumbering or affecting the Property. No part of the Land is within a flood plain as designated by any governmental authority. The Improvements are in good condition, free from latent or patent defects or deficiencies that, either individually or in the aggregate, could materially and adversely affect the use or occupancy of the Property as permitted by the Lease or could reasonably be anticipated to cause injury or death to any person. When the construction contemplated by the Construction Agreement is complete in accordance with plans

approved as described therein, the Property and use thereof permitted by the Lease will comply in all material respects with all Applicable Laws, including laws regarding access and use by disabled persons and local zoning ordinances. Adequate provision has been made (or can be made at a cost that is reasonable in connection with future development of the Land) for the Property to be served by electric, gas, storm and sanitary sewers, sanitary water supply, telephone and other utilities required for the use thereof. All streets, alleys and easements necessary to serve the Property for the construction contemplated by the Construction Agreement or uses permitted by the Lease have been completed and are serviceable. No extraordinary circumstances (including any use of the Land as a habitat for endangered species) exist that would materially and adversely affect such construction or uses of the Property. The Improvements, when constructed as contemplated in the Construction Agreement, will be useable for their intended purpose without the need to obtain any additional easements, rights-of-way or concessions from any third party or parties.

(E) Environmental Representations. Except as otherwise disclosed in the Environmental Report, to the knowledge of LRC: (i) no Hazardous Substances Activities other than Permitted Hazardous Substance Uses have occurred prior to the Effective Date; (ii) no owner or operator of the Property has reported or been required to report any release of any Hazardous Substances on or from the Property pursuant to any Environmental Law; and (iii) no owner or operator of the Property has received from any federal, state or local governmental authority any warning, citation, notice of violation or other communication regarding a suspected or known release or discharge of Hazardous Substances on or from the Property or regarding a suspected or known violation of Environmental Laws concerning the Property. Further, LRC represents that, to its knowledge, the Environmental Report taken as a whole is not misleading or inaccurate in any material respect.

(As used in this and other provisions of the Operative Documents, “knowledge of LRC”, “LRC’s knowledge” and words of like effect mean the present actual knowledge of Xxxx XxXxxxx and Xxx Pasichuke, the current officers of LRC having primary responsibility for the negotiation of the Operative Documents and for the facilities which include the Property, respectively. As used in any future certificate delivered by BNPPLC as required by this Agreement or any other Operative Documents, “knowledge of LRC”, “LRC’s knowledge” and words of like effect will mean the present actual knowledge of Xxxx XxXxxxx and Xxx Pasichuke, or their successors, as the then current officers of LRC having primary responsibility for the administration of the Operative Documents and for the facilities which include the Property.)

(F) Cooperation by LRC and its Affiliates.

(1) After the Designated Sale Date, if neither LRC nor an Applicable Purchaser has purchased BNPPLC’s interest in the Property pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and if a use of the Property by BNPPLC or any new Improvements or any removal or

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 3

modification of Improvements proposed by BNPPLC would violate any Permitted Encumbrance or Applicable Law unless LRC or any of its Affiliates, as an owner of adjacent property or otherwise, gave its consent or approval thereto or agreed to join in a modification of a Permitted Encumbrance, then LRC must give and cause its Affiliates to give such consent or approval or join in such modification.

(2) After the Designated Sale Date, if neither LRC nor an Applicable Purchaser has purchased BNPPLC’s interest in the Property on the Designated Sale Date pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, and if any Permitted Encumbrance or Applicable Law requires the consent or approval of LRC or any of its Affiliates or of any other Person to an assignment of any interest in the Property by BNPPLC or by any of its successors or assigns, LRC will without charge give and cause its Affiliates to give such consent or approval and will cooperate in any way reasonably requested by BNPPLC to assist BNPPLC to obtain such consent or approval from the other Person.

(3) LRC’s obligations under this subparagraph 1(F) will be binding upon any successor or assign of LRC or its Affiliates with respect to the Land and other properties encumbered or benefited by the Permitted Encumbrances, and such obligations will survive any sale of the Property by BNPPLC, other than to LRC or an Applicable Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement, for the benefit of BNPPLC’s assignees.

(G) Compliance with Covenants and Laws. The construction contemplated by the Construction Agreement and use of the Property permitted by the Lease comply, or will comply after LRC obtains readily available permits (either as the construction manager under the Construction Agreement or as the tenant under the Lease), in all material respects with all Applicable Laws. LRC has obtained or can and will promptly obtain all utility, building, health and operating permits required by any governmental authority or municipality having jurisdiction over the Property for the construction contemplated in the Construction Agreement and the use of the Property permitted by the Lease.

2 Representations and Covenants by LRC. LRC also represents and covenants to BNPPLC as follows:

(A) Concerning LRC and the Operative Documents.

(1) Entity Status. LRC is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware, and LRC is duly qualified or registered to do business in the State of California.

(2) Authority. The Constituent Documents of LRC permit the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents by LRC, and all actions and

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 4

approvals necessary to bind LRC under the Operative Documents have been taken and obtained. Without limiting the foregoing, the Operative Documents will be binding upon LRC when signed on behalf of LRC by Xxxx XxXxxxx, Treasurer of LRC. LRC has all requisite power and all governmental certificates of authority, licenses, permits and qualifications to carry on its business as now conducted and contemplated to be conducted and to perform the Operative Documents.

(3) Solvency. LRC is not “insolvent” on the Effective Date (that is, the sum of LRC’s absolute and contingent liabilities — including the obligations of LRC under the Operative Documents — does not exceed the fair market value of LRC’s assets), and LRC has no outstanding liens, suits, garnishments or court actions which could render LRC insolvent or bankrupt. LRC’s capital is adequate for the businesses in which LRC is engaged and intends to be engaged. LRC has not incurred (whether by the Operative Documents or otherwise), nor does LRC intend to incur or believe that it will incur, debts which will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature. No petition or answer has been filed by or, to LRC’s knowledge, against LRC in bankruptcy or other legal proceedings that seeks an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator with respect to LRC or any significant portion of LRC’s property, a reorganization, arrangement, rearrangement, composition, extension, liquidation or dissolution of LRC or similar relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any state law.

(4) Financial Reports. All reports, financial statements and other data furnished by LRC to BNPPLC in connection with the agreements set forth in the Operative Documents are true and correct in all material respects and do not omit to state any fact or circumstance necessary to make the statements contained therein not misleading. Except as described in subparagraph 2(E), no material adverse change has occurred since the dates of such reports, statements and other data in the financial condition of LRC.

(5) Pending Legal Proceedings. No judicial or administrative investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of LRC, threatened against or affecting LRC or any of its Subsidiaries by or before any court or other Governmental Authority that have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither LRC nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or other Governmental Authority in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(6) No Default or Violation. The execution and performance by LRC of the Operative Documents do not and will not contravene or result in a breach of or default under any other material agreement to which LRC is a party or by which LRC is bound

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 5

or which affects any assets of LRC. Such execution and performance by LRC do not contravene in any material respect any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which LRC is subject. Further, such execution and performance by LRC will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, the Property pursuant to the provisions of any such other agreement.

(7) Use of Proceeds. In no event will the funds from any Funding Advance be used directly or indirectly for personal, family, household or agricultural purposes or for the purpose, whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of purchasing, acquiring or carrying any “margin stock” or any “margin securities” (as such terms are defined in Regulation U promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System) or to extend credit to others directly or indirectly for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock or margin securities. LRC represents that LRC is not engaged principally, or as one of LRC’s important activities, in the business of extending credit to others for the purpose of purchasing or carrying such margin stock or margin securities.

(8) Enforceability. The Operative Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of LRC enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(9) Pari Passu. The claims of BNPPLC against LRC under the Operative Documents rank at least pari passu with the claims of all its other unsecured creditors, except those whose claims are preferred solely by any laws of general application having effect in relation to bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation or other similar events.

(10) Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. So long as any obligations of LRC under the Operative Documents remain outstanding, LRC will continue to engage in business of the same general type as now conducted by it and will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business.

(11) Investment Company Act, etc. LRC is not and will not become, by reason of the Operative Documents or any business or transactions in which it participates voluntarily, (a) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” (as each of the quoted terms is defined or used in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), or (b) subject to regulation under the Federal Power Act or any foreign, federal or local statute or regulation limiting LRC’s ability to incur or guarantee indebtedness or obligations, or to pledge its assets to secure indebtedness or obligations, as contemplated by any of the Operative Documents.

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 6

(12) Not a Foreign Person. LRC is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Code (i.e. LRC is not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined in the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder).

(13) ERISA. LRC is not and will not become an “employee benefit plan” (as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) which is subject to Title I of ERISA. The assets of LRC do not and will not in the future constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. LRC is not and will not become a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of ERISA. Except as could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, transactions by or with LRC are not subject to state statutes regulating investments of and fiduciary obligations with respect to governmental plans. No ERISA Termination Event has occurred with respect to any Plan, and LRC and its Subsidiaries are, to the knowledge of LRC, in compliance with ERISA in all material respects. Neither LRC nor its Subsidiaries are required to contribute to, or has any other absolute or contingent liability in respect of, any Multiemployer Plan. As of the Effective Date no “accumulated funding deficiency” (as defined in Section 412(a) of the Code) exists with respect to any Plan, whether or not waived by the Secretary of the Treasury or his delegate, and there are no Unfunded Benefit Liabilities with respect to any Plan.

(14) Compliance With Laws. LRC and its Subsidiaries comply and will comply with all Applicable Laws (including environmental laws and ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder), except (i) when the failure to do so does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) when the necessity of compliance is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which do not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) as described in subparagraph 2(E) regarding the late filing of Forms 10K and 10Q by LRC. Neither LRC nor its Subsidiaries have received any notice asserting or describing a material failure on the part of LRC or any Subsidiary to comply with Applicable Laws, other than failures that have been fully rectified by LRC or the Subsidiary, as the case may be, in a manner approved or accepted by Governmental Authorities responsible for the enforcement of the Applicable Laws.

(15) Payment of Taxes Generally. Except when the failure to do so does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (taking into account any appropriate contest of taxes), LRC and its Subsidiaries have filed and will file all tax declarations, reports and returns which are required by (and in the form required by) Applicable Laws and have paid and will pay all taxes or other charges shown to be due and payable on such declarations, reports and returns and all

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 7

assessments made against it or its assets by any Governmental Authority; and no liens have been filed or established by any Governmental Authority against LRC or its assets or against any Subsidiary or its assets to secure the payment of taxes or assessments that are past due or claimed to be past due.

(16) Maintenance of Insurance Generally. Except when the failure to do so does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, LRC and its Subsidiaries have maintained and will maintain insurance with respect to its properties and businesses, with financially sound and reputable insurers, having coverages against losses or damages of the kinds customarily insured against by reputable companies in the same or similar businesses, such insurance being the types, and in amounts no less than the amounts, which are customary for such companies under similar circumstances.

(17) Franchises, Licenses, etc. Except when the failure to do so does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, LRC and its Subsidiaries have and comply with, and will have and will comply with, all franchises, certificates, licenses, permits and other authorizations from Governmental Authorities that are necessary for the ownership, maintenance and operation of its properties and assets.

(18) Labor. Neither LRC nor any of its Subsidiaries has experienced strikes, labor disputes, slow downs or work stoppages due to labor disagreements that currently have or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and to the knowledge of LRC there are no such strikes, disputes, slow downs or work stoppages threatened against it or against any Subsidiary. The hours worked and payment made to employees of LRC and its Subsidiaries have not been in violation in any material respect of the Fair Labor Standards Act or any other Applicable Laws dealing with such matters. All material payments due on account of wages or employee health and welfare insurance and other benefits from LRC or from any Subsidiary have been paid or accrued as liabilities on its books.

(19) Title to Properties Generally. Except when the failure to do so does not have and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, LRC and its Subsidiaries have and will have and maintain good and indefeasible fee simple title to or valid leasehold interests in all of its real property and good title to or a valid leasehold interest in all of its other material assets, as such properties and assets are reflected in the most recent financial statements delivered to BNPPLC, other than properties or assets disposed of in the ordinary course of business since such date.

containing complete and accurate entries of all its financial and business transactions.

(21) Visitation, Inspection, Etc.

(B) Further Assurances. LRC will, upon the request of BNPPLC, (i) execute, acknowledge, deliver and record or file such further instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Operative Documents and to subject to any of the Operative Documents any property intended by the terms thereof to be covered thereby, including specifically, but without limitation, any renewals, additions, substitutions, replacements or appurtenances to the Property; (ii) execute, acknowledge, deliver, procure and record or file any document or instrument reasonably requested by BNPPLC to protect its rights in and to the Property against the rights or interests of third persons; and (iii) provide such certificates, documents, reports, information, affidavits and other instruments and do such further acts as may be reasonably necessary to enable BNPPLC to comply with the requirements or requests of any agency or authority having jurisdiction over it.

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 10

Responsible Financial Officer of LRC knows or has reason to know that any ERISA Termination Event with respect to any Plan has occurred, a statement of a Responsible Financial Officer of LRC describing such ERISA Termination Event and the action, if any, which LRC proposes to take with respect thereto;

(7) upon request by BNPPLC, a statement in writing certifying that the Operative Documents are unmodified and in full effect (or, if there have been modifications, that the Operative Documents are in full effect as modified, and setting forth such modifications) and either stating that (to the best knowledge of LRC) no default exists under the Operative Documents or specifying each such default; it being intended that any such statement by LRC may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or mortgagee of the Property or any Person who may become a Participant; and

(8) such other information respecting the condition or operations, financial or otherwise, of LRC, of its Subsidiaries or of the Property as BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant, through BNPPLC, may from time to time reasonably request.

Reports and financial statements required to be delivered pursuant to paragraphs (1), (2) and (5) of this subparagraph 2(D) will be deemed to have been delivered on the date on which such reports, or reports containing such financial statements, are posted and available for downloading (in a “PDF” or other generally accepted electronic format) on LRC’s internet website at xxx.xxxxx.xxx or on the SEC’s internet website at xxx.xxx.xxx; provided, however, that after being posted they remain available for downloading at the applicable website for at least 90 days.

BNPPLC is authorized to deliver a copy of any information or certificate delivered to it pursuant to this subparagraph 2(D) to any Participant and to any regulatory body having jurisdiction over BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant that requires or requests it.

(E) Delay Permitted as to the Delivery of Current Financial Statements. So long as LRC continues to defer the filing of financial statements to be included its Forms 10K and 10Q with the SEC because of the current ongoing review by LRC’s board of directors (as previously disclosed to BNPPLC), LRC may also defer the delivery of those financial statements to BNPPLC and the Participants. However, no such deferral will excuse LRC from delivering a timely quarterly certificate in the form attached as Exhibit C.

(F) U.S. Patriot Act. LRC acknowledges that BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or any Participant may be required, pursuant to the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), to obtain, verify, record and disclose to law enforcement authorities information that identifies the LRC, including the name and address of

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 11

LRC. LRC will provide to BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent and Participants any such information they may request pursuant to the Patriot Act, and LRC agrees that BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent and Participants may disclose such information to law enforcement authorities if the authorities make a request or demand for disclosure pursuant to the Patriot Act. LRC also acknowledges that, in such event none of BNPPLC, BNPPLC’s Parent or the Participants may be required or even permitted by the Patriot Act to notify LRC of the request or demand for disclosure.

(G) Omissions. None of LRC’s representations in the Operative Documents or in any other document, certificate or written statement furnished to BNPPLC by or on behalf of LRC contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits a material fact necessary in order to make the statements contained herein or therein (when taken in their entireties) not misleading.

as carried on at the Effective Date.

4 Limited Representations and Covenants of BNPPLC

(A) Concerning Accounting Matters.

(1) To permit LRC to determine the appropriate accounting for LRC’s relationship with BNPPLC under FASB Interpretation No. 46, Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (Revised December 2003) (“FIN 46R”), BNPPLC represents that to the knowledge of BNPPLC the fair value of the Property and of other properties, if any, leased to LRC by BNPPLC (collectively, whether one or more, the “Properties Leased to LRC”) are, as of the Effective Date, less than half of the total of the fair values of all assets of BNPPLC, excluding any assets of BNPPLC held within a silo. Further, none of the Properties Leased to LRC are, as of the Effective Date, held within a silo. Consistent with the directions of LRC (based upon the current interpretation of FIN 46R by LRC and its auditors), and for purposes of this representation only:

•

“held within a silo” means, with respect to any asset or group of assets leased by BNPPLC to a single lessee or group of affiliated lessees, that BNPPLC has obtained funds in excess of 95% of the

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 13

fair value of the leased asset or group of assets to acquire or maintain its investment in such asset or group of assets through non-recourse financing or other contractual arrangements (such as targeted equity or bank participations), the effect of which is to leave such asset or group of assets (or proceeds thereof) as the only significant asset or assets of BNPPLC at risk for the repayment of such funds;

	•		“fair value” means, with respect to any asset, the amount for which the asset could be bought or sold in a current transaction negotiated at arms length between willing parties (that is, other than in a forced or liquidation sale);

	•		with respect to the Properties Leased to LRC (regardless of how BNPPLC accounts for the leases of the Properties Leased to LRC), and with respect to other assets that are subject to leases accounted for by BNPPLC as operating leases pursuant to Financial Accounting Standards Board Statement 13 (“FAS 13”), fair value is determined without regard to residual value guarantees, remarketing agreements, non-recourse financings, purchase options or other contractual arrangements, whether made by BNPPLC with LRC or with other parties, that might otherwise impact the fair value of such assets;

	•		with respect to any assets, other than Properties Leased to LRC, that are subject to leases accounted for by BNPPLC as leveraged leases pursuant to FAS 13, fair value is determined on a gross basis prior to the application of leveraged lease accounting, recognizing that equity investments made by BNPPLC in its assets subject to leveraged lease accounting should be grossed up in applying this test (however, equity investments made by BNPPLC through another legal entity should not be so grossed up in applying this test);

	•		with respect to any assets, other than Properties Leased to LRC, that are subject to leases accounted for by BNPPLC as direct financing leases pursuant to FAS 13, fair value is determined as the sum of the fair values (considering current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities) of the corresponding finance lease receivables and related unguaranteed

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 14

residual values.

(2) BNPPLC also represents that BNPPLC’s Parent is, as of the Effective Date, including BNPPLC as a consolidated subsidiary in the audited financial statements issued by BNPPLC’s Parent. BNPPLC’s Parent is joining in the execution of this Closing Certificate solely for the purpose of:

	•		affirming this representation regarding BNPPLC’s status as a consolidated subsidiary of BNPPLC’s Parent; and

	•		evidencing its agreement to join with BNPPLC, if asked to do so, in executing any certificate required by the next provision which confirms this representation; provided that the certificate states that BNPPLC’s Parent is executing such certificate solely for the purpose of affirming that this representation continues to be true; and, provided further, that this representation continues to be true as of the date of such certificate.

(3) BNPPLC covenants that, no less often than once each calendar quarter prior to the Designated Sale Date and otherwise as reasonably requested by LRC from time to time with respect to any accounting period during which the Lease is or was in effect, BNPPLC will provide to LRC confirmation of facts concerning BNPPLC and its assets as necessary to permit LRC to determine the proper accounting for the Lease (including updates of the facts set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above); except that BNPPLC will not be required by this provision to (w) provide any information that is not in the possession or control of BNPPLC or its Affiliates, (x) disclose the specific terms and conditions of its leases or other transactions with other parties or the names of such parties, (y) make disclosures prohibited by any law applicable to BNPPLC or BNPPLC’s Parent, or (z) disclose any other information that is protected from disclosure by confidentiality provisions in favor of such other parties or would be protected if their agreements with BNPPLC contained confidentiality provisions similar in scope and substance to any confidentiality provisions set forth in the Operative Documents for the benefit of LRC or its Affiliates. Without limiting the foregoing, by delivery of a certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (signed by an officer of BNPPLC), BNPPLC will represent that information provided by it pursuant to this clause is true and complete in all material respects, but only to the knowledge of BNPPLC as of the date the certificate is provided and subject to any exceptions or qualifications that BNPPLC may include in the certificate as necessary to prevent any statement therein from being inaccurate. BNPPLC will endeavor to provide such a certificate promptly as from time to time reasonably requested by LRC. BNPPLC will also endeavor in good faith to notify LRC at least thirty days in advance of any change in circumstances that

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 15

would cause BNPPLC to no longer be able to make the representations set forth in clauses (1) and (2) above, such as a divestiture by BNPPLC’s Parent of its direct or indirect ownership interests in BNPPLC; but BNPPLC will not be liable for any failure to provide such advance notice.

(4) Although the representations required of BNPPLC by this subparagraph are intended to cover facts, it is understood and agreed (consistent with subparagraph 4(C) of the Lease) that BNPPLC has not made and will not make any representation or warranty as to the proper accounting by LRC or its Affiliates of the Lease or as to other accounting conclusions.

(B) Other Limited Representations. BNPPLC represents that:

(1) Entity Status. BNPPLC is a corporation duly incorporated , validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware.

(2) Authority. The Constituent Documents of BNPPLC permit the execution, delivery and performance of the Operative Documents by BNPPLC, and all actions and approvals necessary to bind BNPPLC under the Operative Documents have been taken and obtained. Without limiting the foregoing, the Operative Documents will be binding upon BNPPLC when signed on behalf of BNPPLC by Xxxxx X. Xxx, Managing Director of BNPPLC or by Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, Director of BNPPLC.

(3) Solvency. BNPPLC is not “insolvent” on the Effective Date (that is, the sum of BNPPLC’s absolute and contingent liabilities — including the obligations of BNPPLC under the Operative Documents — does not exceed the fair market value of BNPPLC’s assets), and BNPPLC has no outstanding liens, suits, garnishments or court actions which could render BNPPLC insolvent or bankrupt. BNPPLC’s capital is adequate for the businesses in which BNPPLC is engaged and intends to be engaged. BNPPLC has not incurred (whether by the Operative Documents or otherwise), nor does BNPPLC intend to incur or believe that it will incur, debts which will be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature. No petition or answer has been filed by or, to BNPPLC’s knowledge, against BNPPLC in bankruptcy or other legal proceedings that seeks an assignment for the benefit of creditors, the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or liquidator with respect to BNPPLC or any significant portion of BNPPLC’s property, a reorganization, arrangement, rearrangement, composition, extension, liquidation or dissolution of BNPPLC or similar relief under the federal Bankruptcy Code or any state law.

(As used in this provision and other provisions of the Operative Documents, “knowledge of BNPPLC”, “BNPPLC’s knowledge” and words of like effect mean the present actual

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 16

knowledge of Xxxxx X. Xxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, the current officers of BNPPLC having primary responsibility for the negotiation of the Operative Documents. As used in any future certificate delivered by BNPPLC as required by this Agreement or any other Operative Documents, “knowledge of BNPPLC”, “BNPPLC’s knowledge” and words of like effect will mean the present actual knowledge of Xxxxx X. Xxx and Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxxx, or their successors, as the then current officers of BNPPLC having primary responsibility for the administration of the Operative Documents.)

(4) Pending Legal Proceedings. No judicial or administrative investigations, actions, suits or proceedings are pending or, to the knowledge of BNPPLC, threatened against or affecting BNPPLC by or before any court or other Governmental Authority. BNPPLC is not in default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or other Governmental Authority in a manner that has or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on BNPPLC or its ability to perform its obligations under the Operative Documents.

(5) No Default or Violation. The execution and performance by BNPPLC of the Operative Documents do not and will not contravene or result in a breach of or default under any other material agreement to which BNPPLC is a party or by which BNPPLC is bound or which affects any assets of BNPPLC. Such execution and performance by BNPPLC do not contravene in any material respect any law, order, decree, rule or regulation to which BNPPLC is subject. Further, such execution and performance by BNPPLC will not result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any lien, charge or encumbrance on, or security interest in, any property of BNPPLC pursuant to the provisions of any such other agreement.

(6) Enforceability. The Operative Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of BNPPLC enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

(7) Conduct of Business and Maintenance of Existence. So long as any of the Operative Documents remains in force, BNPPLC will continue to engage in business of the same general type as now conducted by it and will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and its rights, privileges and franchises necessary or desirable in the normal conduct of business.

(8) Not a Foreign Person. BNPPLC is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of Sections 1445 and 7701 of the Code (i.e. BNPPLC is not a non-resident alien, foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate as those terms are defined in the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder).

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 17

Notwithstanding the foregoing, however or any other provision herein or in other Operative Documents to the contrary, it is understood that LRC is not relying upon BNPPLC for any evaluation of California or local Applicable Laws upon the transactions contemplated in the Operative Documents, and BNPPLC makes no representation and will not make any representation that conditions imposed by zoning ordinances or other state or local Applicable Laws to the purchase, ownership, lease or operation of the Property have been satisfied.

(C) No Implied Representations or Promises by BNPPLC. LRC acknowledges and agrees that neither BNPPLC nor its representatives or agents have made any representations or promises with respect to the Property or the transactions contemplated in the Operative Documents except as expressly set forth in the Operative Documents, and no rights, easements or licenses are being acquired by LRC from BNPPLC by implication or otherwise, except as expressly set forth in the other Operative Documents.

5 Usury Savings Provision. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Operative Documents, BNPPLC does not intend to contract for, charge or collect any amount of money from LRC that constitutes interest in excess of the maximum nonusurious rate of interest, if any, allowed by applicable usury laws (the “Maximum Rate”). BNPPLC and LRC agree that it is their intent in the execution of the Lease, the Purchase Agreement and other Operative Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, if any. In furtherance thereof, BNPPLC and LRC stipulate and agree that none of the provisions of the Lease, the Purchase Agreement or the other Operative Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract requiring compensation for the use, forbearance or detention of money at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, and the provisions of this paragraph shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or other Operative Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith. All interest paid or agreed to be paid by LRC to BNPPLC shall, to the extent permitted by applicable usury laws, be amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the period that any principal upon which such interest accrues is expected to be outstanding (including without limitation any renewal or extension of the term of the Lease) so that the amount of interest included in such payments does not exceed the maximum nonusurious amount permitted by applicable usury laws. If the Designated Sale Date is accelerated and as a result thereof amounts paid by LRC to BNPPLC as interest are determined to exceed the interest that would have accrued at the Maximum Rate for the period prior to the Designated Sale Date, then BNPPLC shall, at its option, either refund to LRC the amount of such excess or credit such excess as a Qualified Prepayment (and thus reduce the Lease Balance and other amounts, the determination of which depend upon Qualified Prepayments credited to LRC) and thereby shall render inapplicable any and all penalties of any kind provided by applicable usury laws as a result of such excess interest. If BNPPLC receives money (or anything else) that is determined to constitute interest and that would, but for this provision, increase the effective interest rate

Closing Certificate and Agreement (Livermore/Parcel 6) — Page 18

received by BNPPLC under or in connection with the Operative Documents to a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, then the amount determined to constitute interest in excess of the maximum nonusurious interest shall, immediately following such determination, be returned to LRC or be credited as a Qualified Prepayment, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable usury law shall be inapplicable. If BNPPLC does not actually receive, but shall contract for, request or demand, a payment of money (or anything else) which is determined to constitute interest and to increase the effective interest rate contracted for or charged to a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate, BNPPLC shall be entitled, following such determination, to waive or rescind the contractual claim, request or demand for the amount determined to exceed the Maximum Rate, in which event any and all penalties of any kind under applicable usury law shall be inapplicable. If at any time LRC should have reason to believe that the transactions evidenced by the Operative Documents are in fact usurious, LRC shall promptly give BNPPLC notice of such condition, after which BNPPLC shall have ninety days in which to make appropriate refund or other adjustment in order to correct such condition if it in fact exists.

6 Obligations of LRC Under Other Operative Documents Not Limited by this Agreement. Except as provided above in Paragraph 5, nothing contained in this Agreement will limit, modify or otherwise affect any of LRC’s obligations under the other Operative Documents. Subject to Paragraph 5, those obligations are intended to be separate, independent and in addition to, and not in lieu of, those established by this Agreement.

7 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the parties hereto hereby waives its right to a jury trial of any claim or cause of action based upon or arising out of this Agreement, the other Operative Documents or any of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including contract claims, tort claims, breach of duty claims, and all other common law or statutory claims (collectively, the “Claims”). If and to the extent that the foregoing waiver of the right to a jury trial is unenforceable for any reason in such forum, each of the parties hereto hereby consents to the adjudication of all Claims pursuant to judicial reference as provided in California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638, and the judicial referee shall be empowered to hear and determine all issues in such reference, whether fact or law. Each of the parties hereto represents that each has reviewed this waiver and consent and each knowingly and voluntarily waives its jury trial rights and consents to judicial reference following consultation with legal counsel on such matters. In the event of litigation, a copy of this Agreement may be filed as a written consent to a trial by the court or to judicial reference under California Code of Civil Procedure Section 638 as provided herein.
