then
the party in whose favor such condition exists may terminate this Agreement

Date
(except for representations and warranties made as of a specified date, the
accuracy of which shall be determined as of that specified date), unless
the
failure or failures of all such representations and warranties to be so true
and
correct would not in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect (excluding, however, any matter (1) expressly permitted by
the terms of this Agreement or (2) known to Buyer on or prior to the date
of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the representations
or
warranties relating to any of the Leases and the status of the tenants

performance and observance, in all material respects, by Buyer of all covenants
and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by it prior
to or
on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Sellers' obligation

request for the Brea Corporate Place Ground Leasehold Consents. Sellers shall
use "commercially reasonable efforts" (as hereinafter defined) to obtain

however, if such consents have not been obtained by the then scheduled Closing
Date, then the Deferred/Excluded Asset Provisions shall apply.

shall provide Seller with financial information regarding Buyer, and shall
otherwise reasonably cooperate with Seller, in each case as may be necessary
in
connection with Seller’s request for the Two California Plaza Ground Leasehold
Consent. Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the
Two
California Plaza Ground Leasehold Consent prior to the Closing Date; however,
if
such consent has not been obtained by the then scheduled Closing Date, then
the
Deferred/Excluded Asset Provisions shall apply.
5. Closing
Procedure
.
The
closing (the “Closing”)
of the
sale and purchase herein provided shall occur on the Closing Date. As used
herein, the “Closing
Date”
means
a
date specified by Sellers upon not less than five (5) business days’
notice, but in no event (a) earlier than the Earliest Target Closing Date,
or (b) later than the Latest Target Closing Date; provided,
however,
that if
the Closing Payment is received on the Closing Date but after 11:00 a.m.
local time and all conditions to Closing are satisfied or waived in writing,
then, at the election of Sellers, the Closing Date may be changed to the
next
business day.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
(1) intentionally
omitted.
(2) if
neither party has given written notice to the other of the failure of a
condition precedent under Section 4 to its obligation to proceed with the
Closing (or any other right to terminate this Agreement) prior to the later
to
occur of the delivery of the Closing Payment by Buyer to the Escrow Agent
or
11 a.m. (Eastern time) one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date,
then, upon the delivery of the Closing Payment by Buyer to the Escrow Agent,
the
parties will be deemed to have waived any conditions under Section 4 and
any other right to terminate this Agreement; and
15
(3) if
a
consent required under the Required Consent Provisions has not been obtained
by
the Closing, then the applicable Seller may elect in its sole and absolute
discretion either (a) to exclude the applicable Subject Property from the
Property, in which event (i) such Subject Property shall not be transferred
(and
shall be excluded for all purposes of this Agreement) under this Agreement,
(ii)
the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the Allocable Purchase Price for such
Subject Property, and (iii) Buyer and Sellers shall have no further rights
or
obligations under this Agreement relating to such Subject Property, except
those
rights and obligations relating to such Subject Property under this Agreement
which expressly survive such termination; or (b) to defer the Closing Date
with
respect to such Subject Property (a “Deferred
Subject Property”)
until
the date that is five (5) business days after Sellers have delivered the
applicable consent to Buyer; provided, in no event shall the Closing Date
with
respect to a Subject Property occur later than 60 days after the Latest Target
Closing Date. If the consent under the applicable Required Consent Provision
has
not been delivered to Buyer at least five (5) business days prior to the
deferred Closing Date under clause (3)(b) above, then the applicable Subject
Property shall automatically be excluded from the Property and Sellers shall
be
deemed to have proceeded under clause (3)(a) above; and if the consent under
the
applicable Required Consent Provision is delivered to Buyer at least five
(5)
business days prior to the deferred Closing Date under clause (3)(b) above,
then
the parties shall proceed with Closing with respect to such Subject Property
on
such deferred Closing Date and the provisions of this Agreement (including
this
Section 5) shall apply to such Subject Property, mutatis
mutandis.
In no
event shall any extension under clause (3)(a) above with respect to a particular
Subject Property defer or extend the Closing Date for any other Subject Property
(it being understood that the transfer of each Subject Property that is not
a
Deferred Subject Property is to close simultaneously with the transfer or
each
other Subject Property that is not a Deferred Subject Property). If the Closing
Date with respect to a Subject Property is deferred pursuant to clause (3)(b)
above, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall
continue to be obligated to pay (to the extent so required pursuant to Section
9
hereof) a pro rata portion of the Liquidated Damages Amount for each Deferred
Subject Property in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the “pro rata portion of the
Liquidated Damages Amount” applicable to a Deferred Subject Property shall be
equal to the product of (x) an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages Amount,
multiplied by (y) a fraction in which the numerator is the Allocable Purchase
Price for such Deferred Subject Property and the denominator is the Purchase
Price for all of the Property.
5.1 Escrow

The

among
Buyer, Sellers and the Escrow Agent in the form of Exhibit “H”, which Buyer

to

the title insurance premium relating to any title insurance policies obtained

Buyer for CLTA standard coverage in the amount of the portion of the Purchase

(4) all fees, costs or expenses in connection with Buyer’s due diligence
reviews hereunder. Any other closing costs shall be allocated in accordance
with
local custom. Sellers and Buyer shall pay their respective shares of prorations
as hereinafter provided.
5.4 Prorations
.
5.4.1 Items
to
be Prorated
.
The
following shall be prorated between the applicable Seller and Buyer as of
the
Closing Date (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the
applicable period), with Buyer being deemed to be the owner of the Underlying
Properties during the entire day on the Closing Date and being entitled to
receive all operating income of the Underlying Properties, and being obligated
to pay all operating expenses of the Underlying Properties, with respect
to the
Closing Date:
(a) All
non-delinquent real estate and personal property taxes and assessments on
each
Underlying Property for the current year. The applicable Seller shall be
responsible for the payment of any real estate and personal property taxes
that
are delinquent before Closing. Seller shall also be responsible for any "escaped
assessments" or other amounts due for the period prior to the Closing Date
relating to any reassessment that is effective on a date prior to the Closing
Date and Buyer shall also be responsible for any "escaped assessments" or
other
amounts due for the period from and after the Closing Date relating to such
reassessment. In no event shall any Seller be charged with or be responsible
for
any increase in the taxes on the Underlying Properties resulting from the
sale
of the Property contemplated by this Agreement or from any improvements made
or
leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any assessments on the
Underlying Properties are payable in installments, then the installment
allocable to the current period shall be prorated (with Buyer being allocated
the obligation to pay any installments due after the Closing Date).
19
(b) All
fixed
and additional rentals under the Leases, security deposits (except as
hereinafter provided) and other tenant charges shall be prorated between
the
applicable Sellers and Buyer as of the Closing Date on an accrual basis,
based
on the actual number of days in the month (quarter, year or other applicable
period) during which the Closing Date occurs. The applicable Seller shall
deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for
periods after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits
(to the
extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied
or forfeited prior to the Closing) to Buyer on the Closing Date. The applicable
Seller shall also transfer to Buyer any security deposits which are held
in the
form of letters of credit (the “SD
Letters of Credit”)
if the
same are transferable; if any of the SD Letters of Credit are not transferable,
the applicable Seller shall request the tenants obligated under such SD Letters
of Credit to cause new letters of credit to be issued in favor of Buyer in
replacement thereof and in the event such a new letter of credit is not issued
in favor of Buyer by Closing, Buyer shall diligently pursue such replacement
after Closing and the applicable Seller shall take all reasonable action,
as
directed by Buyer and at Buyer’s expense, in connection with the presentment of
such SD Letters of Credit for payment as permitted under the terms of the
applicable Lease, and in consideration of such Seller’s agreement as aforesaid,
Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold such Seller harmless from any liability,
damage, loss, cost or expense resulting from an alleged wrongful drawing
upon
any of the SD Letters of Credit after the Closing. Rents which are delinquent
(or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the
Closing Date. Until the date that is 12 months after the Closing, Buyer
shall include such delinquencies (or unpaid amounts) in its normal billing
and
shall pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date
(but
Buyer shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any Lease).
To the extent Buyer receives rents (or income in connection with other tenant
charges) on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied first
toward the rent (or other tenant charge) for the month in which the Closing
occurs then to the rent (or other tenant charge) owed to Buyer in connection
with the applicable Lease or other document for which such payments are
received, and then to any delinquent rents (or other tenant charges) owed
to the
applicable Seller, with such Seller’s share thereof being promptly delivered to
such Seller; provided, however, that any year-end or similar reconciliation
payment shall be allocated as hereinafter provided. Buyer may not waive any
delinquent (or unpaid) rents or modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise
affect amounts owed thereunder for any period in which any Seller is entitled
to
receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining such Seller’s
written consent. After such 12-month period, each Seller hereby reserves
the
right to pursue any remedy for damages against any tenant owing delinquent
rents
and any other amounts to such Seller (but shall not be entitled to terminate
any
lease or any tenant’s right to possession). Buyer shall reasonably cooperate
with each Seller, at no material out-of-pocket cost to Buyer, in any collection
efforts hereunder (but shall not be required to litigate or declare a default
under any Lease). With respect to delinquent or other uncollected rents and
any
other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer
tenants of the Underlying Properties as of the Closing Date, the applicable
Seller shall retain all of the rights relating thereto.
(c) When
the
actual amounts of “Reimbursable Tenant Expenses” (as hereinafter defined) for
the year in which the Closing occurs have been determined and the annual
reconciliation payments are due, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable
efforts
to collect or cause to be collected from the tenants of the Underlying
20
Properties
any underpayment of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses then payable by the tenants
and
pay to each Seller such Seller’s share of said underpayment promptly upon
collection thereof. As used herein, the term “Reimbursable
Tenant Expenses”
shall
mean payments required to be paid by tenants under Leases for such tenant’s
share of insurance, common area maintenance and other expenses of the Underlying
Properties. If more amounts have been collected from tenants for Reimbursable
Tenant Expenses than have been incurred for Reimbursable Tenant Expenses,
then
the applicable Seller will promptly pay to Buyer such Seller’s share of such
excess collected amount as and when such Reimbursable Tenant Expenses are
determined. Each Seller’s “share” of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses shall be
determined by comparing the amounts collected by such Seller from tenants
on
account of Reimbursable Tenant Expenses for the period commencing on January
1,
2007 and ending on the Closing Date to the actual Reimbursable Tenant Expenses
paid or incurred by such Seller during such period.
(d) Any
other
items of operating income or operating expense which are customarily apportioned
between the parties in real estate closings of comparable commercial properties
in the metropolitan area where the applicable Underlying Property is located,
as
applicable shall be prorated between the applicable Sellers and Buyer as
of the
Closing Date on an accrual basis, based on the actual number of days in the
month (quarter, year or other applicable period) during which the Closing
Date
occurs; however, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance
premiums or payroll (because Buyer is not acquiring or assuming any Seller's
financing or insurance or, subject to the provisions hereinafter set forth,
employees).
(e) Buyer
shall transfer all utilities to its name as of the Closing Date, and where
necessary, post deposits with the utility companies. The applicable Seller
shall
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all utility meters to be read
as of
the Closing Date. Sellers shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits
held
by any utility company as of the Closing Date. All charges for utilities
shall
be prorated outside of the escrow contemplated herein within sixty (60)
days after the Closing Date.
(f) With
the
exception of the Leasing Costs identified on Schedule
6
(which
shall be Buyer’s responsibility), the applicable Seller shall be responsible for
all Leasing Costs that are payable by reason of (i) the execution of an
“Existing
Lease”
(i.e.,
a Lease existing as of the date of this Agreement) prior to the date of this
Agreement, (ii) the renewal, extension, expansion of, or the exercise of
any
other option under, an Existing Lease, prior to the date of this Agreement,
and
(iii) amendments of an Existing Lease entered into prior to the date of this
Agreement. If the Closing occurs, Buyer shall be responsible for the payment
(or, in the case of any amounts payable prior to Closing, the reimbursement
to
the applicable Seller) of all other Leasing Costs, including (A) all
Leasing Costs which become due and payable (whether before or after Closing)
as
a result of (1) any “New
Leases”
(i.e.,
Leases entered into during the “Lease Approval Period” [as hereinafter defined]
in accordance with this Agreement), (2) amendments entered into during the
Lease Approval Period in accordance with this Agreement to renew, extend,
expand
or otherwise amend Existing Leases or New Leases, or (3) any renewals,
extensions, expansions or, of the exercise of any other option under, Existing
Leases exercised by tenants during the Lease Approval Period; and (B) all
Leasing Costs as a result of renewals, extensions,
21
expansions,
or the exercise of any other option, occurring on or after the Closing Date
of
Existing Leases or New Leases. In addition, Buyer shall assume the economic
effect of any “free rent” or other concessions pertaining to the period from and
after the Closing. If, as of the Closing Date, any Seller shall have paid
any
Leasing Costs for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, Buyer shall reimburse such Seller therefor at Closing. Each Seller
shall pay (or cause to be paid), prior to Closing, or credit Buyer at Closing
(to the extent unpaid) all Leasing Costs for which such Seller is responsible
pursuant to the foregoing provisions, and (subject to the reimbursement
obligations set forth above), such Seller shall pay (or cause to be paid)
when
due all applicable Leasing Costs payable after the date hereof and prior
to
Closing. For purposes hereof, the term “Lease
Approval Period”
shall
mean the period from the date of this Agreement until the Closing
Date.
(g) All
rent

number
of days in the month (quarter, year or other applicable period) during which
the
Closing Date occurs. The applicable Sellers shall be responsible for all
rent
payable under the Ground Leases attributable to the period before the Closing
Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all rent payable under the Ground
Leases

submitted to Buyer and Sellers by the Escrow Agent prior to the Closing and
approved by Buyer and Sellers. In the event any prorations or apportionments
made under this Section 5.4 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason,
then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any
item
which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information
shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available
and
reprorated when the information is available. The obligations of Sellers
and
Buyer under this Section 5.4 shall survive the Closing for one year.
6. Condemnation
or Destruction of Property
.
In the
event that, after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, either any
portion of an Underlying Property is taken pursuant to eminent domain
proceedings or the Improvements on an Underlying Property are damaged or
destroyed by any casualty, Sellers shall be required to give Buyer prompt
written notice of the same after Sellers' actual discovery of the same (if
it is
material), but shall have no obligation to contribute capital to any entity,
or
to repair or replace (or cause to be repaired or replaced) any such damage,
destruction or taken property, and Buyer shall have no right to terminate
this
Agreement by reason thereof. Except to the extent any condemnation proceeds
or
insurance proceeds are (x) attributable to lost rents or other items
applicable to any period prior to the Closing, or (y) required for
collection costs or repairs by Sellers prior to the Closing Date, Sellers
shall,
upon consummation of the transaction herein provided, cause the applicable
Seller to assign to Buyer all claims of such Seller respecting any condemnation
or casualty insurance coverage, as applicable, and all condemnation proceeds
or
proceeds from any such casualty insurance received by such Seller on account
of
any casualty, as applicable.

shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain and operate the Underlying
Properties in substantially the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to their
normal course of business (such maintenance obligations not including capital

shall not enter into, materially modify or terminate any additional service
or
equipment leasing contracts or other similar agreements relating to the Property

modification or termination will have a Material Adverse Effect without the
prior consent of Buyer. If Buyer fails to notify Sellers in writing of Buyer’s
objections within three (3) business days of Buyer’s receipt of the proposed

Sellers

as
prior hereto pursuant to their normal course of business and, upon request,
Sellers shall keep Buyer reasonably informed as to the status of material
leasing activities known to Sellers prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall
not
enter into any new “Major
Lease”
(i.e.,
a lease in excess of 25,000 square feet of net rentable area) or materially
modify or terminate any then existing Major Lease without the consent of
Buyer,
if such lease, modification or termination will have a Material Adverse Effect
without the prior consent of Buyer; provided that, Buyer hereby approves
of and
consents to the execution and delivery of each of the Major Leases described
on
Exhibit "U" (each a “Pre-Approved
Major Lease”
and
collectively, the “Pre-Approved
Major Leases”)
without first obtaining the separate consent of Buyer so long as any such
Pre-Approved Major Lease is substantially on, and not materially less favorable
to the landlord than, the terms set forth therefor in Exhibit "U". If Buyer
fails to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s objections within three (3)
business days of Buyer’s receipt of the proposed modification, termination or
new lease terms (and a request for Buyer’s approval), then Buyer shall be deemed
to have approved the same.

contractual arrangements, the Plans or applicable Laws). If Buyer fails to
notify Sellers in writing of Buyer’s objections within three (3) business days
of Buyer’s receipt of the proposed increase, retention, severance, change of
control or termination pay (and a request for Buyer’s approval), then Buyer
shall be deemed to have approved the same.

withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Buyer fails to notify Sellers in writing
of
Buyer’s objections within three (3) business days of Buyer’s receipt of the
proposed modification or termination (and a request for Buyer’s approval), then
Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the same.
7.5.8 Due
Diligence Reviews

and service contracts, sewer/water conditions, utilities service information,
zoning information, access information, assessments and city fees, developmental
conditions and approvals, operating expenses and legal, physical, environmental

Properties (the foregoing being collectively called the “Property

do so, Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer in an effort to provide
“Buyer’s
Representatives”
(which,
as used herein, means Buyer’s representatives, investors, lenders, attorneys,
accountants, consultants, surveyors, title companies, agents, employees,
contractors, appraisers, architects and engineers) with reasonable access
to the
Underlying Properties (subject to Section 8.3) upon reasonable advance notice
and shall also reasonably cooperate with Buyer in an effort to make available
for review and copying (at Buyer’s expense) copies of all documents, materials
and other information relating to the Property Information in Sellers'
possession, all upon reasonable advance notice. In no event, however, shall
Sellers be obligated to make available (or cause to be made available) any
proprietary or confidential documents including reports or studies that have
been superseded by subsequent reports or studies, or any of the following
confidential and proprietary materials: (1) information contained in
financial analyses or projections; (2) material which is subject to
attorney-client privilege or which is attorney work product; (3) appraisal
reports or letters; (4) organizational, financial and other documents

(6) the documents (the “Merger
Documents”)
governing the Merger, to the extent the same are not of public record; or
(7)
the
28
documents
relating to any financing that, after Closing, would neither encumber any
portion of the Property or the Underlying Properties. As used in this Agreement,
“commercially
reasonable efforts”
shall
not include any obligation to institute legal proceedings or to expend any
monies, incur any liabilities or to cause any Seller or other person to do
the
same.
7.5.9 Cooperation
with Buyer's Auditors and SEC Filing Requirements
.
Buyer
has advised Sellers that Buyer must cause to be prepared audited financial
statements for the calendar year 2006 and the partial calendar year 2007
(from
January 1 up to the Closing Date) (the “Covered
Audit Period”)
with
respect to the Property in compliance with certain laws and regulations,
including without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation
S, X
and Rule 3-14. Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate
with Buyer’s auditors in the preparation of such audited financial statements
(it being understood and agreed that the foregoing covenant shall survive
Closing for 180 days). Without limiting the generality of the preceding
sentence, (i) Sellers shall during normal business hours and upon Buyer’s prior
written request allow Buyer’s auditors reasonable access to such books and
records maintained by Sellers (and Sellers' managers of the Underlying
Properties) in respect to the Property and pertaining to the Covered Audit
Period as necessary to prepare such audited financial statements; (ii) Sellers
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to make available to Buyer such
existing financial information as is reasonably requested by Buyer and required
for Buyer’s auditors to prepare audited financial statements, (iii) to the
extent under Sellers' employ and control, Sellers will upon Buyer’s written
request make available for interview by Buyer and Buyer’s auditors the managers
of the Underlying Properties or other agents or representatives of Sellers
responsible for the day-to-day operation of each Underlying Property and
the
keeping of the books and records with respect to the operation of each
Underlying Property, and (iv) Sellers agree to use commercially reasonable
efforts to (A) cooperate with Buyer to identify one or more individuals
acceptable to Buyer’s auditors who Buyer may elect to hire or otherwise engage
for purposes of providing a representation letter or certificate on Buyer's
behalf, and (B) cooperate with Buyer in Buyer's efforts to hire or engage
such
individual. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.5.9 to the
contrary, in no event shall Sellers be obligated to (i) make and/or obtain
from
Sellers (or any affiliate of Sellers or any of Sellers' or its affiliates’
auditors) any representations or certificates regarding such financial
information, or (ii) disclose any confidential or non-public financial
information with respect to Sellers, any affiliate of Sellers or any their
respective properties.
7.6 Employee
Matters
.
7.6.1 The
parties hereto intend that there shall be continuity of employment with respect
to all of the Employees and the Bargained Employees. Buyer shall offer
employment, commencing on the applicable Closing Date, to all Employees and
Bargained Employees, including those on vacation, approved leave of absence
or
disability, with respect to the applicable Subject Property. In addition,
upon
prior written notice to Sellers, Buyer shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to offer employment to employees of the EOP Operating Partnership
or
its subsidiaries (“Management
Personnel”)
who
are involved in the operation or management of the Property but who otherwise
do
not fall
29
within
the definition of “Employee”. All offers of employment to Employees, to
Bargained Employees, or to Management Personnel shall be on the terms and
conditions as provided in subsection 7.6.2 below. Those Employees and Management
Personnel who accept Buyer’s offer of employment shall hereafter be referred to
as “Transferred
Employees”.
Those
Bargained Employees who accept Buyer’s offer of employment shall hereafter be
referred to as “Transferred
Bargained Employees”.
7.6.2 Each
Transferred Employee shall be offered (a) base salary, (b) cash incentive
compensation opportunities (excluding any cash bonuses related to equity
or
equity-based awards and/or dividend equivalent payments related to equity
or
equity-based awards), and (c) employee benefits (excluding any equity-based
benefits), in each case in an amount that is no less favorable in the aggregate
than those provided to such Transferred Employees immediately prior to the
Closing. Each Transferred Employee will be credited with his or her years
of
service with the EOP Operating Partnership and its affiliates (and any
predecessor entities thereof) before the Closing Date under any employee
benefit
plan of Buyer or its subsidiaries in which the Transferred Employee becomes
entitled to participate to the same extent as such employee was entitled,
before
the Closing Date, to credit for such service under the respective Plan (except
to the extent such credit would result in the duplication of benefits and
except
with respect to benefit accrual under a defined benefit plan). In addition,
with
respect to any such health benefit plan in which the Transferred Employee
becomes entitled to participate during the calendar year that includes the
Closing Date, each Transferred Employee shall be given credit for amounts
paid
by the employee under the respective Plan for purposes of applying deductibles,
co-payments and out-of-pocket maximums as though such amounts had been paid
in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the parallel plan, program or
arrangement of Buyer or its affiliates.
7.6.3 At
the
Closing, Buyer shall (or cause its manager or third party service providers
to)
assume all liabilities and obligations under the union agreements (the
“Union
Agreements”)
described on the Employment Schedule arising or accruing on or after the
Closing
Date, and Buyer shall (or cause its manager or third party service providers
to)
offer employment to all of the Bargained Employees who work under a Union
Agreement with respect to the applicable Fee Property or Leasehold Property
in
accordance with the terms of the Union Agreement. Without the prior written
consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, Sellers shall
not
enter into any replacement or new labor agreement with respect any Fee Property
or Leasehold Property; provided, however, that Seller shall not be required
to
obtain the consent of Buyer with respect to any extension of an existing
Union
Agreement on substantially comparable terms. If Buyer fails to notify Sellers
in
writing of Buyer’s objections within three (3) business days of Buyer’s receipt
of the proposed replacement or new labor agreement (and a request for Buyer’s
approval), then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the same. In the event
that a new labor agreement has replaced a Union Agreement on the Closing
Date,
Buyer shall assume such labor agreement. Following the Closing Date and during
their actual period of employment with Buyer or an affiliate, manager, or
contractor, each Transferred Bargained Employee shall be employed on the
terms
and conditions set forth in the applicable Union Agreement or labor
agreement.
30
7.6.4 To
the
extent necessary to avoid the imposition of any withdrawal liability on Sellers
and their respective affiliates, Buyer shall (or cause its managers to) (x)
contribute to the Multiemployer Plan with respect to substantially the same
number of contribution base units for which Sellers or their respective
affiliates had an obligation to contribute and (y) if the bond required pursuant
to Section 4204(a)(1)(B) of ERISA is not waived by any Multiemployer Plan
trustees in accordance with Section 4204 of ERISA and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, provide to the Multiemployer Plan for a period of
five
plan years commencing with the first plan year beginning after the applicable
Closing, a bond to be obtained by Buyer issued by a corporate surety corporation
that is an acceptable surety for purposes of Section 412 of ERISA, a sum to
be provided by Buyer held in escrow by a bank or similar financial institution,
or an irrevocable letter of credit to be obtained by Buyer, equal to the
greater
of (I) the average annual contribution required to be made by Sellers and
their respective affiliates under the Multiemployer Plan for the three plan
years preceding the plan year in which the Closing occurs, or (II) the
annual contribution that Sellers and their respective affiliates were required
to make under the Multiemployer Plan for the last plan year prior to the
plan
year in which the Closing occurs. Sellers shall cooperate with Buyer to obtain
a
waiver of the bond, escrow or letter of credit set forth above. The bond,
escrow
or letter of credit shall be paid to the Multiemployer Plan if Buyer withdraws
from or fails to make a contribution to the Multiemployer Plan at any time
during the first five plan years beginning after the applicable Closing Date.
If
Buyer’s actions results in a complete or partial withdrawal during the first
five plan years, Sellers shall be secondarily liable for any withdrawal
liability Sellers would have had to the Multiemployer Plan if the liability
of
Buyer is not paid.
7.6.5 Buyer
and
Sellers acknowledge and agree that all provisions contained herein with respect
to Employees and Bargained Employees are included for the sole benefit of
Buyer
and Sellers (and their respective affiliates, as applicable) and shall not
create any right (i) in any other person or entity, including any employees,
former employees, any participant in any Plans or any beneficiary thereof
in any
employee benefit or compensation plan or arrangement of Buyer or (ii) to
continued employment with Buyer. All of the Transferred Employees shall be
"at
will" and nothing in this Agreement shall interfere with Buyer's right to
terminate their employment at any time, with or without cause.
7.6.6 Buyer
shall be responsible for and shall pay all medical, life insurance, disability
and other welfare plan expenses and benefits for each Transferred Employee
and
Transferred Bargained Employee with respect to expenses or claims incurred
by
such Transferred Employees, Transferred Bargained Employees or their covered
dependents on, or after the Closing Date to the extent provided in Buyer's
applicable benefit plans, if any.
7.6.7 With
respect to any accrued but unused vacation time to which any Transferred
Employee is entitled pursuant to the vacation policy applicable to such
Transferred Employee immediately prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall allow
such Transferred Employee to use such accrued vacation; provided that Buyer
shall be liable for and pay in cash an amount equal to such accrued vacation
time to any Transferred Employee whose employment terminates following the
Closing Date provided Sellers provide sufficient data after Closing for Buyer
to
calculate such amount.
31

7.6.9 Buyer
shall not assume any of the Plans or any liability arising in connection

with the Transferred Employees or Transferred Bargained Employees after the
Closing Date, any liability arising in connection with the service relationship
between any Seller or any affiliate of any Seller and any employee, consultant,
director or other service provider, which liabilities shall remain the sole
obligation of Seller. Buyer, any successor manager of the Property or the
new
employer of record of the Transferred Employees, shall not, at any time within
the 90-day period after the Closing Date, effectuate a “plant closing,” “mass
layoff” or similar triggering event as those terms are defined in WARN or any
similar state or local Law, without complying with all provisions of WARN

of
such documents, books and records at Sellers' expense for unrelated third
party
out-of-pocket photocopying costs.
7.8 Seller’s
Environmental Inquiry
.
Buyer
acknowledges and agrees that the sole inquiry and investigation Sellers have
conducted in connection with the environmental condition of the Property
is to
obtain the Environmental Reports, and that, for all purposes, including
California Health and Safety Code Section 25359.7, Sellers have acted
reasonably in solely relying upon said inquiry and investigation.
7.9 Natural
Hazard Disclosure Requirement Compliance
.
Sellers
have commissioned Disclosure Source, Inc. ((000) 000-0000) (“Natural
Hazard Expert”)
to
prepare the natural hazard disclosure statement in the form required by
California Civil Code Section 1103 (the “Natural
Hazard Disclosure”).
Buyer
acknowledges that this transaction is not subject to that Civil Code Section,
but that nevertheless the Natural Hazard Disclosure serves or shall serve
to
satisfy other statutory disclosure requirements of the Government Code and
Public Resources Code. Sellers do not warrant or represent either the accuracy
or completeness of the information in the Natural Hazard Disclosure, and
Buyer
shall use same merely as a part in its overall investigation of the
Property.

8.3 Review
Standards
.
Buyer
shall at all times conduct its reviews, inspections and examinations in a
manner
so as to not cause liability, damage, lien, loss, cost or expense to any
Seller,
the Property, or any Underlying Property and so as to not unreasonably interfere
with or disturb any tenant at the Underlying Property, and Buyer will indemnify,
defend, and hold the Sellers, and each of the foregoing, harmless from and
against any such liability, damage, lien, loss, cost or expense (except to
the
extent arising from the mere discovery of existing conditions that are not
exacerbated by Buyer or its agents). Prior to entry upon any Underlying
Property, Buyer shall obtain the consent of the applicable Seller and provide
Sellers with copies of certificates of insurance evidencing comprehensive
general liability insurance policies (naming the applicable Seller as an
additional insured) which shall be maintained by Buyer in connection with
its
investigations upon the Underlying Properties, with limits, coverages and
insurers under such policies reasonably satisfactory to the applicable Seller.
Without limitation on the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer: (a) conduct
any physical testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at any Underlying
Property (such as soil borings, water samplings or the like) without the
applicable Seller’s express written consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld (and Buyer shall in all events promptly return such
Underlying Property to its prior condition and repair thereafter);
(b) contact any consultant or other professional engaged by any Seller or
any tenant of any Underlying Property (or its representatives) without the
applicable Seller’s express written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld subject to any further consent such Seller must obtain);
(c) contact any governmental authority having jurisdiction over an
Underlying Property without the applicable Seller’s express written consent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld subject to any further consent
such
Seller must obtain) other than ordinary contact normally associated with
routine
due diligence examinations that does not involve any discussions with
governmental officials (except to the extent necessary to request records)
and
is limited to a review of government records; or (d) contact any lender or
servicer with respect to the Existing Loan without the prior written approval
of
the applicable Seller. Each Seller shall have the right, at its option, to
cause
a representative of such Seller to be present at all inspections, reviews
and
examinations conducted hereunder. Buyer shall schedule any entry (by it or
its
designees) onto any Underlying Property in advance with the applicable Seller.
In the event of any termination hereunder (other than by reason of any Seller’s
default), (1) Buyer shall return all documents and other materials
furnished by Sellers hereunder and destroy any copies thereof made by Buyer
or
any Buyer Representative, and (2) at any Seller’s written request, Buyer
shall promptly deliver to Sellers any written reports relating to the Property
or any Underlying Property prepared for or on behalf of Buyer by any third
party
without representation or warranty and on an "as is" basis. Subject to Section
7.5.9 hereof, Buyer agrees and covenants with Sellers not to disclose to
any
third party (other than potential lenders, potential partners, other potential
financing sources, accountants, attorneys and other consultants and advisors
who
need to know such information for the sole purpose of evaluating the Property
and who are informed that such information is confidential) (i) any of the
reports, studies, assessments, or any other documentation or information
obtained by Buyer which relates to the Property or to Sellers (the "Evaluation
Material")
(and
whether provided by Sellers or obtained separately by Buyer) except to the
extent either such disclosure is required by applicable law, order, rule
or
regulation (including, without limitation, any applicable state and federal
securities laws and regulations). In the event that Buyer or any Buyer
Representative is requested or required to disclose any of the Evaluation
Material in connection with a legal proceeding, Buyer shall provide Sellers
with
prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that Sellers
35
may
seek
a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with
the
provisions of this Section 8.3. If, in the absence of a protective order
or
other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Sellers, Buyer or any Buyer
Representative is nonetheless, in the written opinion of counsel, legally
compelled to disclose Evaluation Material to any tribunal or else stand liable
for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, Buyer or such Buyer
Representative may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such tribunal
only
that portion of the Evaluation Material which such counsel advises Buyer
is
legally required to be disclosed, provided that Buyer exercises its reasonable
efforts to preserve the confidentiality of the Evaluation Material, including,
without limitation, by cooperating with Sellers, at Sellers' expense, to
obtain
an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Evaluation Material by such tribunal. Promptly
upon the reasonable request of Sellers, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers or
destroy, or cause such delivery or destruction of, all copies of the Evaluation
Material. This Section 8.3 shall supersede, in its entirety, that certain
Confidentiality Agreement dated January 27, 2007 by and between Buyer and
Blackstone Real Estate Advisors V L.P. Buyer shall be responsible to Sellers
for
any breaches of this Section 8.3 by any person or entity to whom information
was
given by or through Buyer as though the breach were committed by Buyer itself.
Anything to the contrary in this Agreement notwithstanding, in the event
of a
breach by Buyer of the provisions of this Section 8.3, the parties agree
that
Sellers shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctions
and
specific performance. The provisions of this Section 8.3 shall survive any
termination of this Agreement.
8.4 SURVIVAL
.
THIS SECTION 8 SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
CLOSING.
9. Default;
Liquidated Damages Amount
.
9.1 Default
by Sellers
.
If the
transaction herein provided shall not be closed by reason of Sellers' default
(all conditions benefiting Sellers under Section 4 having been satisfied
or
waived in writing, in all material respects) under this Agreement or the
failure
of satisfaction of the conditions benefiting Buyer under Section 4 or the
termination of this Agreement in accordance with Section 4, then neither
party shall have any further obligation or liability to the other (other
than
those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement);
provided, however, if the transactions hereunder shall fail to close by reason
of Sellers' default (all conditions benefiting Sellers under Section 4 other
than Buyer's obligation to fund the Closing Payment into Escrow [provided
that
Buyer is ready, willing and able to timely fund the entire Closing Payment
and
in fact, funds into Escrow an amount equal to the Liquidated Damages Amount]
having been satisfied or waived in writing, in all material respects), then
Buyer shall be entitled as its sole and exclusive remedy to either
(1) specifically enforce this Agreement, but specific performance must be
commenced within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date or be forever
barred or (2) terminate this Agreement, but no other action, for damages or
otherwise shall be permitted.
36
9.2 Default
by Buyer
.
IN
THE EVENT THE TRANSACTION HEREIN PROVIDED SHALL NOT CLOSE BY REASON OF BUYER’S
DEFAULT (ALL CONDITIONS BENEFITING BUYER UNDER SECTION 4 HAVING BEEN
SATISFIED OR WAIVED IN WRITING IN ALL MATERIAL RESPECTS), THEN SELLERS MAY
TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND BUYER SHALL PAY TO SELLERS AN AMOUNT (THE
“LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT”) EQUAL TO ONE HUNDRED MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($100,000,000.00) AS FULL COMPENSATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT FOR SUCH FAILURE TO CLOSE. IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE
PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT SELLERS WILL INCUR EXPENSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE PROPERTY WILL BE
REMOVED
FROM THE MARKET; FURTHER, THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE
TO
ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF DETRIMENT TO SELLERS CAUSED BY THE BREACH BY BUYER
UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FAILURE OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION SELLERS SHOULD
RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT, AND THAT THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT
REPRESENTS THE PARTIES’ BEST CURRENT ESTIMATE OF SUCH DETRIMENT. IN THE EVENT
THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY SHALL NOT BE CONSUMMATED ON ACCOUNT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT,
THEN THE PAYMENT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT SHALL BE SELLERS' SOLE
AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF SUCH DEFAULT, SUBJECT
TO THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE A TERMINATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT. THIS SECTION 9.2 SHALL SURVIVE ANY TERMINATION OF THIS
AGREEMENT.

Parties

as provided in Section 8.2, nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or
implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason
of this
Agreement on any person other than the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns, and nothing in this Agreement is intended to relieve
or
discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to
this
Agreement, and no provision shall give any third parties any right of
subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement.
10.10 Legal
Costs
.
The
parties hereto agree that they shall pay directly any and all legal costs
which
they have incurred on their own behalf in the preparation of this Agreement,
all
deeds and other agreements pertaining to this transaction and that such legal
costs shall not be part of the closing costs. In addition, if either Buyer
or
any Seller brings any suit or other proceeding, including an arbitration
proceeding, with respect to the subject matter or the enforcement of this
Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by the court, agency, arbitrator
or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced), in
addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover
reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation actually
incurred. The foregoing includes attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of
investigation (including those incurred in appellate proceedings), costs
incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, or in any action or
participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under
Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 United States Code
Sections 101 et seq.), or any successor statutes. The provisions of this
Section 10.10 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

Instruments
.
Each
party will, whenever and as often as it shall be requested so to do by the
other, cause to be executed, acknowledged or delivered any and all such further
instruments and documents as may be necessary or proper, in the reasonable
opinion of the requesting party, in order to carry out the intent and purpose
of
this Agreement (provided the same do not increase in any material respect
the
costs to, or liability or obligations of, such party in a manner not otherwise
provided for herein). In addition to the foregoing, Sellers agree to execute,
acknowledge and deliver a quitclaim deed with respect to development land,
if
any, located within Orange County, California that is owned by Sellers or
was
acquired by Sellers or affiliates of Sellers through the merger (the
“Merger”)
involving Seller, Blackhawk Acquisition Trust, Blackhawk Acquisition L.P.,
EOP
Operating Partnership and Equity Office Properties Trust, but that was
erroneously omitted from the legal descriptions attached as Exhibit A hereto.
Sellers shall execute, acknowledge and deliver such quitclaim deed within
thirty
(30) days after receipt of written notice from Buyer of such erroneous
omission.
10.12 Severability
41
.
If any
term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person
or
circumstance shall, to any extent, be 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.
10.13 Press
Releases
.
No
press release or other public disclosure regarding the terms of this Agreement
or the transaction contemplated hereby shall be made without the prior written
consent of Buyer and Sellers. However, either party shall have the right
to make
public disclosures without consent or the requirement of prior notice to
the
extent required by required by (1) law, including, without limitation, any
applicable securities laws (but only if such party gives the other party
reasonable notice and an opportunity to retain a restraining order or take
other
similar protective actions) or (2) the rules and regulations of a securities
exchange.
10.14 Tax
Deferred Exchange
.
A
Seller or an affiliate and/or Buyer or an affiliate may desire to dispose
of all
or a portion of the Property through a tax deferred exchange which qualifies
for
non-recognition of gain under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (in
each case, an “Exchange”;
the
applicable party engaging in such Exchange being referred to herein as the
“Exchanging
Party”
and
the
other party being referred to herein as the “Non-Exchanging
Party”).
The
Non-Exchanging Party shall cooperate with the Exchanging Party in attempting
to
effectuate such Exchange, including the execution of such documentation as
may
be reasonably necessary to effect such Exchange, provided that (i) the
Non-Exchanging Party shall not incur any additional liability in connection
with
an Exchange for the benefit of the Exchanging Party, (ii) The
Non-Exchanging Party shall not be obligated to take title to any real property
(other than the Property), (iii) the Closing Date shall not be extended as
a result of the exchange, without the Non-Exchanging Party’s prior written
consent, and (iv) any additional costs and charges attributable to the
Exchange, including attorneys’ fees, brokers’ commissions and other
transaction-related expenses shall be paid for by the Exchanging Party. The
Exchanging Party shall indemnify and hold the Non-Exchanging Party harmless
from
and against all claims, demands, actions, proceedings, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs and expenses resulting from such Exchange by such Exchanging
Party. The Exchanging Party may substitute an intermediary (“Intermediary”)
to act
in place of such Exchanging Party as the seller or buyer, as the case may
be, of
any Subject Property. The Non-Exchanging Party shall convey or accept, as
the
case may be, such Subject Property and all other required performance from
Intermediary and render its performance of all of its obligations to
Intermediary. Performance by Intermediary will be treated as performance
by such
Exchanging Party. Such Exchanging Party unconditionally guarantees the full
and
timely performance by Intermediary of each and every one of the representations,
warranties, covenants, indemnities, obligations and undertakings of
Intermediary. As guarantor, such Exchanging Party shall be treated as a primary
obligor with respect to these representations, warranties, covenants,
indemnities, obligations and undertakings, and, in the event of breach, the
Non-Exchanging Party may proceed directly against such Exchanging Party,
subject
to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on this guarantee without
the
need to join Intermediary as a party to any action against such Exchanging
Party. The Exchanging Party unconditionally waives any
42
defense
that it might have as guarantor that it would not have if it had made or
undertaken these representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities,
obligations and undertakings directly. In the event of the breach of any
representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and undertakings by such
Exchanging Party or Intermediary or in the event of any claim upon any indemnity
of such Exchanging Party or Intermediary (whether the representation, warranty,

any
fiscal years ending prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing occurs.
If any
tax reduction proceedings in respect of any Underlying Property, relating
to the
fiscal year in which the Closing occurs, are pending at the time of Closing,
then the applicable Seller reserves (and shall have) the right to continue
to
prosecute and settle the same. However, no such proceeding relating to the
fiscal year in which the Closing occurs may be settled without the prior
written
consent of both the applicable Seller and Buyer, which consent shall not
be
unreasonably withheld. The parties shall reasonably cooperate with one another
in connection with the prosecution of any such tax reduction
proceedings.
10.16.2 Application

Any
refunds or savings in the payment of taxes resulting from such tax reduction

the
property of the applicable Seller, and any refunds or savings in the payment
of
taxes applicable to taxes payable from and after the date of the Closing
(and
allocable to any Subject Property) shall belong to and be the property of
Buyer;
provided, however, that if any such refund creates an obligation to reimburse
any tenants under any Lease for any rents or additional rents paid or to
be
paid, that portion of such refund equal to the amount of such required
reimbursement (after deduction of allocable expenses as may be provided in
such
Lease to such tenant) shall, at the applicable Seller’s election, either (a) be
paid to Buyer, and Buyer shall disburse the same to such tenants or (b) be
paid
directly to the tenants entitled thereto. All attorneys’ fees and other expenses
incurred in obtaining such refunds or savings shall be apportioned between
the
applicable Seller and Buyer in proportion to the gross amount of such refunds
or
savings payable to the applicable Seller and Buyer, respectively (without
regard
to any amounts reimbursable to tenants); provided, however, that neither
the
applicable Seller nor Buyer shall have
44
any
liability for any such fees or expenses incurred by the other party in excess
of
the refund or savings paid to such other party.
10.17 Acceptance
of Deed

The
acceptance of the Deeds and the Ground Leasehold Assignments by Buyer shall
be
deemed full compliance by Sellers of all of Sellers' obligations under this
Agreement except for those obligations of Sellers which are specifically
stated
to survive the Closing hereunder.
10.18 Counterparts
.
This
Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall
be
deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same
document.
10.19 Effectiveness

event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability,
it
being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only
when a
counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party
hereto.
