All prorations shall be made and determined as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

4.4.1Rent and other recurring tenant charges, including the monthly installments of estimated Property expenses and real estate taxes due and payable by tenants for the month in which the Closing occurs (collectively, “Prorated Rent”) shall be prorated on a per diem basis. The Post-Sale Company’s share of Prorated Rent actually collected by the


5

Fee Owner as of the business day prior to the Closing Date shall be credited to the Post- Sale Company at the Closing, and Prorated Rent not collected by the Fee Owner as of the business day prior to the Closing Date shall be treated as past due or delinquent rent (“Delinquent Rent”). After the Closing Date, (a) Seller shall be prohibited from bringing any claims against tenants for Delinquent Rent or any other amounts owed by tenants under Leases without the prior written consent of Purchaser and (b) for the one hundred eighty

(180) day period following the Closing Date, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ agrees to cause Fee Owner to submit monthly invoices to applicable tenants on account of Delinquent Rents which may allocable to the Pre-Sale Company. Rent collected after the Closing shall be allocated (i) first to the then current month (when received), (ii) then (if different) to the month in which the Closing occurs, (iii) then to Delinquent Rent allocable to the Post-Sale Company, if any, and (iv) finally to Delinquent Rent allocable to the Pre-Sale Company for periods preceding the month in which the Closing occurs, if any. Each party shall promptly remit to the other any rent collections received after the Closing which belong to the other party pursuant to this Section 4.4.1. Percentage Rent, if any, attributable to sales at the Property for the applicable period (e.g., month or year) in which Closing occurs shall be prorated on a straight-line basis for the applicable period in which Closing occurs based on the number of days the Pre-Sale Company and the Post-Sale Company each indirectly own the Property in the applicable period in which the Closing occurs; percentage rents attributable to periods after the Closing Date shall be allocated to the Post-Sale Company. Following the Closing, upon receipt of any percentage rent for the applicable period during which the Closing occurs (or any prior period), Purchaser shall promptly remit to Seller the Pre-Sale Company’s share of such percentage rent together with the tenant’s sales or percentage rent report and any other supporting information submitted by such tenant pursuant to its Lease. In the event that there shall be any rents or other charges under any Leases which, although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing, or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (such as operating expense and real estate tax reimbursements and the like), then any rents or charges of such type received by the Fee Owner or its agents subsequent to Closing, including payments received from tenants as a result of true-ups or the obligation to reimburse tenants for overpayments, shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between the Pre-Sale Company and the Post-Sale Company as of Closing as Prorated Rents and the Pre-Sale Company’s portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to Seller by Purchaser.

4.4.2At Closing, Seller shall (i) deliver to Purchaser all original letters of credit held as security under any Lease, if applicable, and (ii), at Seller’s option, either deliver to Purchaser any cash security deposits, plus all interest as required by law, actually held by the Fee Owner pursuant to the Leases or credit to the account of Purchaser the amount of such security deposits (to the extent such security deposits are not applied against delinquent rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases in the ordinary course of business) plus all interest as required by law. The provisions of this Section 4.4.2 shall survive the Closing.

4.4.3Charges of water, electricity, sewer, gas and all other utilities, charges and assessments under all Contracts, and all other costs and expenses for which the Fee Owner is liable (except for those matters otherwise expressly prorated pursuant to this Section


6

4.4), in each case not directly paid by tenants, shall be prorated on a per diem basis for the billing period of the authority, utility or other person or entity levying or charging for the same. If the consumption of any of the foregoing is measured by meters, then the Pre-Sale Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to arrange to obtain a reading of each such meter prior to Closing and the Pre-Sale Company shall pay all charges thereunder through the date of any meter readings obtained prior to Closing. If any such meter reading for any utility is not available, then adjustment therefor shall be made on the basis of the most recently issued bills therefor which are based on meter readings no earlier than thirty

(30) days prior to the Closing Date; and such adjustment shall be re-prorated when the next utility bills are received. Purchaser shall give Seller a credit at Closing for all deposits maintained by the Fee Owner with utility companies serving the Property or, at Seller’s option, Seller shall be entitled to receive a refund of such deposits from the utility companies, and Purchaser shall post its own deposits.

4.4.4Ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments (collectively, “Real Estate Taxes”) with respect to the Property are to be prorated on a per diem cash basis as of the Closing Date. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for, and shall cause the Fee Owner to timely pay, all other Real Estate Taxes that are due or payable after Closing. If, after the Closing, Purchaser or Seller receives (in the form of a refund, credit, or otherwise, and whether directly or through the Fee Owner) any amounts as a result of a real property tax contest, appeal, or protest (a “Protest”), such amounts will be applied as follows: first, to reimburse Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, for all costs paid or owing by it in connection with the Protest; and second, to Seller to the extent that such Protest covers the period for which the Pre-Sale Company paid Real Estate Taxes and to Purchaser to the extent that such Protest covers the period for which the Post-Sale Company paid Real Estate Taxes. Seller and Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with one another, at no cost or expense, in connection with the prosecution of any such proceedings and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of this subparagraph, including the delivery to one another, upon demand, of any relevant books and records, including receipted tax bills and cancelled checks used in payment of such taxes, the execution of any and all consent or other documents, and the undertaking of any acts necessary for the collection of refunds by the Post-Sale Company and the Pre-Sale Company, as applicable.

4.4.5If the Existing Loan is not being repaid, then at Closing, (A) Purchaser shall receive a credit toward payment of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to: (1) the outstanding principal balance of the Existing Loan, including any accrued but unpaid interest thereon, less (2) the aggregate balance of any cash reserves, deposits, escrows or holdbacks which are held by Existing Lender in connection with the Existing Loan as of the Closing Date and not previously applied by Existing Lender and (B) Seller shall receive a credit toward payment of the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the value of the “cap” with respect to the Existing Loan as of the Closing Date (i.e., what it would cost to purchase on the Closing Date a new “cap” for the balance of the term of the existing “cap”) as agreed to by Seller and Purchaser.

4.4.6Either party shall be entitled to a post-Closing adjustment for any missing or incorrect proration or adjustment not made in accordance with the terms and conditions


7

of this Section 4.4, provided written notice thereof is given to the other party within ninety

(90) days of Closing, which period shall be extended for purposes of completing the reconciliations of Collections contemplated under this Section 4.4.

4.4.7Charges referred to in Section 4.4.1 which are payable by any tenant to a utility provider or other third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and, if the Closing is consummated, Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges that may be or become unpaid, and Purchaser and the Fee Owner shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same. Seller shall receive the entire advantage of any discounts for the prepayment by it of any water rates, sewer rents or other charges.

4.4.8Seller shall receive a dollar-for-dollar credit at the Closing for all cash and securities and other instruments held by the Company or either Subsidiary and deposited, held or contained in any account, bank or vault.

4.4.9To the extent Seller has made any capital contributions to the Company from and after the Effective Date and on or prior to the Closing Date, and as result thereof the Transferred Interests Percentage on the Closing Date is greater than 98.051%, then Seller shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the product of (x) the increase in the Transferred Interests Percentage, multiplied by (y) the Property Purchase Price.

4.4.10Purchaser shall receive a credit at the Closing in the amount of any amounts owed and unpaid to Fee Owner’s construction manager in respect of work performed prior to the Closing Date.

4.4.11The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive Closing. For the avoidance of doubt, any reference in this Agreement to an expense being paid by the Pre-Sale Company shall mean that the Transferred Interests Percentage of such expense shall be paid by Seller, and that the Transferred Interests Percentage of any item of income or revenue that is for the account of the Pre-Sale Company shall be apportioned to Seller.

4.5Closing Costs. Closing costs shall be allocated as follows:

4.5.1Seller shall pay (i) the fees of any counsel representing it in connection with this transaction, (ii) transfer and similar taxes, if any, levied by the State of California and/or Alameda County in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder, and

(iii) 50% of transfer and similar taxes, if any, levied by the City of Oakland in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder.

4.6.2All of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date (or in the case of representations and warranties that are made as of a specified date, as of such specified date); provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any representation or warranty of Seller hereunder was accurate as of the date of this Agreement in all material respects but subsequently became inaccurate as a result of any act, omission, event or occurrence that does not constitute a Seller default under any other provision of this Agreement, then (x) the condition set forth in this Section

4.6.2 shall be deemed to be satisfied with respect to such representation or warranty notwithstanding such inaccuracy and (y) such inaccuracy shall not relieve Purchaser of its obligations to consummate the Closing under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VI DEFAULT

6.1Pre-Closing. Prior to the Closing,

6.1.1if all of the conditions to Purchaser’s obligation to proceed to Closing are satisfied and the Closing under this Agreement does not occur as a result of Purchaser’s default under this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy on account of such default, to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages (it being expressly understood and agreed that in the event of Purchaser’s default, Seller’s damages would be impossible to ascertain and that the Deposit constitutes a fair and reasonable amount of compensation in such event) and upon such retention of the Deposit neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

6.1.2if all conditions to Seller’s obligations to proceed to Closing are satisfied and the Closing under this Agreement does not occur as a result of Seller’s default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Deposit, which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release


26

Seller from any and all liability hereunder; or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to execute the Assignment Instrument and to take all other actions required to be taken by it hereunder on the Closing Date, provided any such specific performance action is actually commenced in a court of competent jurisdiction within sixty (60) days after the most recently scheduled Closing Date; it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of any default by Seller hereunder covered by the preceding sentence, except as expressly set forth in the preceding sentence. Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected the option in clause

(a) above if Purchaser fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred.

6.2Post-Closing. After the Closing, in the event of any breach of any of the covenants, representations or warranties hereunder or under any other agreement, document, certificate or instrument delivered by the parties which expressly survives the Closing (each, a “Post-Closing Default”), each party shall have all remedies existing under applicable law with respect to such Post-Closing Default; subject, however, in all events to the waivers and other limitations set forth in Sections 5.3 above and in Section 9.23 below. Further, if a Post-Closing Default is curable, prior to a party’s exercise of any right or remedy as a result thereof, such party shall first deliver written notice to the other and give the other ten (10) days thereafter in which to cure said Post-Closing Default.

6.3Attorneys’ Fees. If any party hereto employs an attorney for the purpose of enforcing or construing this Agreement, or any judgment based on this Agreement, in any legal proceeding whatsoever, including insolvency, bankruptcy, arbitration, declaratory relief or other litigation, the prevailing party shall be entitled to receive from the other party or parties thereto reimbursement for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and all costs, whether incurred at the trial or appellate level, including but not limited to service of process, filing fees, court and court reporter costs, investigative costs, expert witness fees and the cost of any bonds, whether taxable or not, and such reimbursement shall be included in any judgment, decree or final order issued in that proceeding. The “prevailing party” means the party in whose favor a judgment, decree, or final order is rendered. A party’s rights and remedies under this Section 6.3 shall not limit and shall, in any event, be in addition to its rights and remedies under any other provision of this Agreement.

ARTICLE IX MISCELLANEOUS

9.1Confidentiality. Purchaser and its representatives shall hold in confidence all non-

public data and information obtained with respect to Seller, the Company, the Subsidiary or their business (collectively, the “Seller Confidential Information”), whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that Purchaser may disclose such data and information

(i) to the employees, prospective and current lenders, prospective and current investors, shareholders, consultants, accountants and attorneys of Purchaser (collectively, “Representatives”), provided that (a) such Representatives are directed to treat such data and information as confidential and (b) Purchaser shall be liable for any breaches by such Representatives of the provisions of this Section 9.1, (ii) to any applicable governmental or quasi- governmental authority as may be required by applicable law or by the regulations, rules and policies of any applicable regulatory body or stock exchange, or (iii) in connection with any legal proceedings where such data and information are required to be disclosed, but only to the extent required, by court order, or pursuant to applicable law, regulation or self-regulatory organization rules, provided that in the case of (ii) or (iii), Purchaser gives Seller prior written notice (to the extent lawful) so that Seller may have a reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order or other form of protection against disclosure. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Purchaser or its Representatives of this Section 9.1, Seller shall be entitled to seek an injunction restraining Purchaser or its Representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, any non-public data or information about Seller or its business, without the necessity of posting any bond. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Seller from pursuing any other available remedy at law or in equity for such breach or threatened breach. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller acknowledges that the business of Purchaser includes the analysis of, and investment in, securities, instruments, businesses and assets and the review of the Seller Confidential Information provided in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder


30

may serve to give Purchaser a deeper overall knowledge and understanding in a way that cannot be separated from Purchaser’s other knowledge. Accordingly, and without in any way limiting Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, Seller agrees that this Agreement shall not restrict the use of such overall knowledge and understanding for Purchaser’s own internal purposes, including the purchase, sale, consideration of, and decisions related to other investments. The provisions of this Section 9.1 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

9.2Public Disclosure. Any press release or other public announcement to the public by either party of information with respect to the sale contemplated herein or any matters set forth in this Agreement (including the existence of this Agreement or the identity of the direct or indirect owners of Purchaser) shall be subject to the reasonable approval of Purchaser and the Seller, respectively, both as to timing and content, and in no event shall any release be made prior to the Closing.

9.3Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance of the Assignment Instrument by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every obligation on the part of Seller to be performed prior to Closing pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.

9.4Tax Treatment/Allocation. All Tax Returns that relate to a period prior to the Closing Date, which are or will be required to be filed by or on behalf of the Company after the Closing Date, shall be prepared and filed by Purchaser in a manner consistent with past practices unless otherwise required by applicable law and shall be submitted to Seller not later than 15 days prior to the due date (including extensions) for filing of such Tax Returns. Seller shall have the right to review such Tax Returns and upon reasonable written request, Seller shall have the right to access any other information of or controlled by Purchaser relating to such Tax Returns that reasonably is necessary for Seller to perform such review. If Seller, within 10 days after delivery of any such Tax Return, notifies Purchaser that it objects to any item in such Tax Return and sets forth the reasonable basis of such objections in writing, the parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute and, if they are unable to do so, any disputed item shall be resolved (within a reasonable time, taking into account the deadline for filing such Return) by a nationally recognized independent accounting firm acceptable to both Purchaser and Seller. Upon resolution of all disputed items, the relevant Tax Return shall be filed on that basis and will be binding upon both parties. The costs, fees and expenses of the accounting firm shall be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller. Other than with respect to certain Real Estate Taxes the payment and proration of is governed exclusively under Section 4.4.4, Purchaser shall pay the full amount shown as due on such Tax Returns, and Seller shall promptly reimburse Purchaser for any amounts paid by Purchaser that are attributable solely to a period (or portion thereof) ending on or prior to the Closing Date.

9.11Counterparts/Facsimile Execution. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and all such executed counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. It shall be necessary to account for only one such counterpart in proving this Agreement.

9.22Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY EITHER PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE RETAINED COUNSEL OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING AND SUCH COUNSEL HAS FULLY EXPLAINED THE CONTENT AND LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS SECTION.
