12. Prorations, Adjustments and Holdback.
12.1 Prorations and Adjustments. The following items shall be prorated and adjusted between Buyer and Seller at the Close of Escrow based upon the actual number of days in the calendar month in which the Close of Escrow occurs, the date of the Close of Escrow being an income and expense day for Buyer, all such obligations to survive Close of Escrow:
12.1.1 (a) Subject to clause (b) of this Section 12.1.1, real property taxes and assessments with respect to the Property shall be prorated and adjusted between Buyer and Seller at the Close of Escrow, based upon the most recent official real property tax information available from the County Assessors office where the Property is located or other assessing authorities, such that Seller shall be responsible for all taxes and assessments levied against the Property that are applicable to the period through and including the day prior to the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall be responsible for all taxes and assessments levied against the Property that are applicable to the period from and after the date of Close of Escrow. Subject to the rights of Schwab pursuant to the Schwab Lease, Seller reserves the right to meet with governmental officials and to contest any assessment or reassessment concerning or affecting Sellers obligations with respect to real property taxes and assessments on the Property for periods prior to the assessment period in which the Closing occurs provided, however, Seller shall not have the right to enter into any settlement that requires real property taxes in periods after the Closing to be higher as a result thereof. Buyer promptly shall deliver to Seller any refund with respect to such real property taxes and assessments applicable to any period prior to the Close of Escrow, subject to any reimbursement to tenants required under the Lease and less the costs incurred by Buyer in obtaining any such refund.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge that a change in ownership (as described in California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 64) occurred on March 11, 2014 that will result in a supplemental assessment being issued for property taxes relating to the Property, and such supplemental assessment shall include an assessment for property taxes for time periods prior to Closing. If Seller receives any supplemental assessment relating to the Property from the assessor, Seller shall promptly give Buyer a copy of such supplemental assessment. If the supplemental assessment is received prior to Close of Escrow, Seller shall be responsible to pay the amount or have Schwab pay the amount shown on such supplemental assessment, and if Seller pays such amount, Seller shall have the right to invoice Schwab for
21
reimbursement. If the supplemental assessment is received after Close of Escrow, Buyer shall be responsible for billing Schwab the full amount of such supplemental assessment for time periods prior to and after Closing and using commercially reasonable efforts to collect the same but shall not be obligated to initiate any litigation or declare a default under the Schwab Lease. From and after the Closing, Seller shall, at Sellers sole cost and expense, promptly file all documents and/or certificates required to ensure that any such supplemental assessment is reflected on the Countys Unsecured Assessment Roll and, if reflected on the Countys Secured Assessment Roll, to remove such supplemental assessment therefrom.
12.1.2 Monthly rents of tenants under the Schwab Lease, as and when collected. No credit shall be given the Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from Schwab until these sums are paid. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after Close of Escrow to collect any rent under the Schwab Lease that has accrued as of the Close of Escrow. Following the Closing, Buyer shall bill Schwab for all amounts due under the Schwab Lease accruing prior to the Closing (including, without limitation, base rent, additional rent, or other tenant charges for the year in which the Closing occurs) (collectively, Delinquent Rents), and shall use reasonable efforts to collect from Schwab any base rent, additional rent, or other tenant charges owing with respect to the period prior to the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to sue Schwab or exercise any legal remedies under the Lease or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses or any other liability. Seller shall only be permitted to commence legal proceedings against Schwab with respect to any Delinquent Rents on or after the date that is 120 days following the Closing; provided that, Seller shall not be permitted to terminate the Schwab Lease, and provided that if Seller has invoiced Schwab as described in Section 12.1.1(b) above for the supplemental reassessment, Seller may commence legal proceedings against Schwab for reimbursement on or after the date that is the later of 30 days following the Closing and 30 days following the date that the payment by Schwab is delinquient under the Schwab Lease. All payments collected from Schwab after Close of Escrow shall first be applied to any rent due to Buyer for the period after the end of the month in which Close of Escrow occurs, then to any costs incurred by Buyer in collecting Delinquent Rents, then to rent due in the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs, and finally, to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Close of Escrow.
12.1.3 Until the Final Adjustment Date (as defined below), when the adjustment described in Section 12.1.5 is made, all amounts received by Seller as interim payments of charges to Schwab for maintenance and operating costs, real estate taxes, insurance and similar amounts (collectively, Tenant Expense Charges) applicable to the period prior to the Closing and received before the Close of Escrow shall be retained by Seller, except that all interim payments of Tenant Expense Charges received by either party applicable to the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs shall be prorated as between Seller and Buyer based upon the number of days in that month and the party receiving the interim payment shall remit to (if received on or after the Close of Escrow) or credit (if received before the Close of Escrow) the other party its proportionate share. All amounts received by Buyer from Schwab as interim payments of Tenant Expense Charges on or after the Close of Escrow shall be retained by Buyer until the year-end adjustment and determination of Sellers allocable share thereof as of the Final Adjustment Date. No later than the Final Adjustment Date, Sellers allocable share of actual Tenant Expense Charges shall be determined by multiplying the total payments due from Schwab for such fiscal year (the sum of estimated payments made by Schwab plus or minus year-end adjustments) by a fraction, the numerator of which is Sellers actual cost of providing common area maintenance services and taxes (as the case may be) prior to the Close of Escrow (within that portion of the fiscal year prior to the Close of Escrow in which the applicable Lease is in effect and the tenant thereunder is required to pay Tenant Expense Charges), and the denominator of which is the cost of providing such services and paying such taxes for the entire fiscal year (or that portion of the fiscal year in which the applicable Lease is in effect and the tenant thereunder is required to pay Tenant Expense Charges). If, on the basis of amounts actually incurred and the estimated payments received by Seller, Seller has retained amounts in excess of its allocable share, it shall remit, within thirty (30) days after notice from Buyer of the excess owed Buyer, such excess to Buyer. If, on the basis of the foregoing amounts, Seller has retained less than its allocable share (the Seller Shortfall), Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect the Seller Shortfall from the tenants of the Property and, to the extent collected by Buyer, Buyer shall promptly remit the Seller Shortfall, net of reasonable costs of collection, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, to Seller. Buyer shall not be obligated to expend
22
any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any Seller Shortfall. Seller shall only be permitted to commence legal proceedings against Schwab with respect to any Seller Shortfall on or after the date that is 120 days following the Closing; provided that, Seller shall not be permitted to terminate the Schwab Lease.
12.1.4 No later than April 30 in the calendar year following the Close of Escrow (the Final Adjustment Date), Seller and Buyer shall make a final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.1.4 of Tenant Expense Charges and other items of additional rents for which final adjustments or prorations could not be determined at the Closing, if any, because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year-end adjustment of common area maintenance, taxes and like items, the unavailability of final sales figures or amounts for any other reason. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 12.1.3, any net adjustment in favor of Buyer or Seller is to be paid in cash by the other no later than thirty (30) days after such final adjustment has been made.
12.1.5 Seller and Buyer shall endeavor to have all meters for utilities servicing the Property and not billed directly to any tenant or other third party, including (without limitation) water, sewer, gas and electricity, read for the period to and including the day of the Close of Escrow. Seller shall credit Buyer based on the average utility expense of the previous three (3) months prior to closing.
12.1.6 Seller shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs (as defined below) that are payable by reason of (i) the execution of a Lease in existence as of the date of this Agreement (an Existing Lease), (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, that are, in the aggregate, in excess of $12,200,000 (collectively, the Sellers Leasing Costs). Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for any unpaid Sellers Leasing Costs. Buyer shall be responsible for all Leasing Costs other than Sellers Leasing Costs; provided that, Buyer shall not be responsible for any Leasing Costs that are agreed to by Seller or its agents in violation of Section 7.3. Leasing Costs shall mean, with respect to any Lease, all capital costs, expenses incurred for capital improvements, equipment, painting, decorating, partitioning and other items to satisfy the initial construction obligations of the landlord under such Space Lease (including any expenses incurred for architectural or engineering services in respect of the foregoing), tenant allowances in lieu of or as reimbursements for the foregoing items, free rent periods, leasing commissions, brokerage commissions, in each case, to the extent the landlord is responsible for the payment of such cost or expense under the relevant Space Lease or any other agreement relating to such Lease.
12.1.7 All other items customarily prorated and/or adjusted at closing in the locality in which the Property is situated, except that Sellers insurance policies with respect to the Property shall not apply to protect Buyer from and after the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall procure its own insurance from and after the Close of Escrow.
12.1.8 The parties obligations under this Section 12.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow.
12.2 Errors. If any errors or omissions are made regarding adjustments and prorations as set forth above, the parties shall make the appropriate corrections promptly upon discovery, provided that the error or omission is discovered on or before the Final Adjustment Date. Any error or omission not discovered within that period shall not be subject to adjustment. The amount necessary to correct any adjustment or proration that is to be corrected under the foregoing shall be paid in cash to the party entitled to the amount in question. The parties obligations under this Section 12.2 shall survive the Close of Escrow.

All notices and demands given under the terms of Agreement shall be in writing and may be effected by personal delivery, including by any commercial courier or overnight delivery service, or by United States registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, with all postage and fees fully prepaid. Notices shall be effective upon receipt by the party being given notice, as indicated by the return receipt if mailed; except that if a party has relocated without providing the other party with its new address for service of notices, or if a party refuses delivery of a notice upon its tender, the notice shall be effective upon the attempt to serve the notice at the last address given for service of notices upon that party. Alternatively, notices may be served by facsimile transmission, in which case service shall be deemed effective only upon receipt by the party serving the notice of telephonic or return facsimile transmission confirmation that the party to whom the notice is directed has received a complete and legible copy of the notice, and provided facsimile notices given after 5:00 p.m. Local Time on a business day shall be deemed given on the next business day. Notices shall be addressed as provided in the Basic Provisions. Any address for service of notice on either party may be changed by that party serving a notice upon the other of the new address, except that any change of address to a post office box shall not be effective unless a street address is also specified for use in effectuating personal service.
18. Required Actions of Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall execute all instruments and documents and take all other actions that may be reasonably required in order to consummate the purchase and sale contemplated in this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Seller elects to dispose of the Property in the form of a tax-deferred exchange (an Exchange), rather than a sale (which election may be made in Sellers sole and absolute discretion), Buyer shall cooperate with Seller upon Sellers reasonable request, so long as it (i) presents no additional cost or risk to Buyer (ii) causes no delay in the Close of Escrow, (iii) the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange is in no event a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging partys obligations under this Agreement, (iv) in no way reduces, waives, releases, modifies or otherwise affect the obligations of Seller pursuant to this Agreement and Seller will remain fully liable for its obligations under this Agreement as if such assignment had not taken place; and (v) Buyer shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished or replacement property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating an Exchange. Buyer shall not by this Agreement or acquiescence to an Exchange desired by Seller have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to Seller that its Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code. Seller agrees
27
to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and its successors and assigns for any and all loss, liability, damage or expenses arising out of or connected with any such exchange (including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees and any additional taxes, including transfer taxes attributable to the exchange). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, this Section 18 shall survive the Closing of Escrow.
19. Partial Invalidity. If any term or provision of this Agreement, or its application to any person or circumstance, shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the application of the term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected, and each term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20. Waiver. No waiver by Buyer or Seller of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement or any of their respective rights under this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the party charged with the waiver. No delay in enforcement of any provision or right contained in this Agreement by either of Buyer or Seller shall constitute a waiver of such provision or right. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provision shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of that or any other covenant or provision. No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.
21. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns of Buyer and Seller. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 21, this Agreement may not be assigned by Buyer without the prior written consent of Seller, and any such assignment or attempted assignment by Buyer shall constitute a default by Buyer hereunder and shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer may assign its rights under this Agreement to an entity affiliated with Buyer, provided that (a) Buyer gives written notice of such assignment to both Seller and Escrow Holder not later than two (2) business days prior to the scheduled Close of Escrow, and (b) pending Closing, such assignment shall not relieve Buyer of any covenant, representation, obligation or liability hereunder, and Buyer shall continue to be obligated for its assignees performance hereunder; provided that once Closing occurs, the assigning party (but not the assignee) shall be relieved of all of its obligations arising under this Agreement.
22. Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND BUYER HAVE CONSIDERED AND DISCUSSED THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT THE ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE. SELLER AND BUYER HAVE DETERMINED AND AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO SELLER OCCURRING IN THE EVENT OF BUYERS DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN FAILING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY PURSUANT HERETO WHEN BUYER OR ITS ASSIGNEE IS OBLIGATED TO DO SO. HAVING MADE DILIGENT BUT UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF BUYERS NONPERFORMANCE OF SUCH PURCHASE OBLIGATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT, PLUS ANY INTEREST EARNED ON THE DEPOSIT DELIVERED BY BUYER TO ESCROW HOLDER HEREUNDER, AND IN THE EVENT OF BUYERS DEFAULT IN ITS (OR ITS ASSIGNEES) OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY PURSUANT HERETO, SUBJECT TO SECTION 14.1, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT AS SELLERS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE RIGHT OR REMEDY, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED AT ITS ELECTION TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN AS FULLY AGREED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES THE SUM OF (A) THE ENTIRE DEPOSIT, PLUS (B) INTEREST EARNED THEREON. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT, HOWEVER, LIQUIDATE OR LIMIT BUYERS OBLIGATIONS OR SELLERS RIGHTS AGAINST BUYER ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH BUYERS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 5.2 OR SECTIONS 24 OR 25, OR ANY INDEMNITY PROVIDED BY BUYER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

As material consideration to each partys agreement to the liquidated damages provisions stated above, each party hereby agrees to waive any and all rights whatsoever to contest the validity of the liquidated damage provisions for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, that such provision was unreasonable under circumstances existing at the time this Agreement was made, each party hereby expressly acknowledging the reasonableness of the liquidated damages provisions stated above.
23. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING ARISING UNDER OR WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO, THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND IRRESPECTIVE OF WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE. TO THE EXTENT THEY MAY LEGALLY DO SO, SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, CAUSE OF ACTION, OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE DECIDED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT ANY PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE OTHER PARTY OR PARTIES HERETO TO WAIVER OF ITS OR THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.
24. Attorneys Fees. If either party becomes involved in litigation, arbitration, reference to a retired judge or other neutral referee, or other legal process arising out of this Agreement or in connection with any bankruptcy proceeding relating to a party, the court in the litigation or arbitrator, retired judge or other referee in the arbitration or reference, or neutral party in such other legal process, shall award legal expenses (including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys fees and court costs) to the prevailing party. The award for legal expenses shall not be computed in accordance with any schedule, but shall be as necessary to fully reimburse all reasonable attorneys fees and other legal expenses actually incurred in good faith, regardless of the size of the judgment, it being the express intention of the parties to fully compensate the prevailing party for all the reasonable attorneys fees and other legal expenses paid or incurred by it in good faith in connection therewith.
25. Property Information and Confidentiality.
25.1 Confidentiality. Buyer agrees that, prior to the Close of Escrow, all Property Information (as defined below) shall be kept strictly confidential (using the same degree of care that Buyer uses to prevent disclosure of its own confidential information) and shall not, without the prior consent of Seller, be disclosed by Buyer or Buyers Representatives, in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, and will not be used by Buyer or Buyers Representatives, directly or indirectly, for any purpose other than evaluating the Property and preparation for the ownership and management of the Property, except for disclosure to governmental authorities in connection with evaluating the purchase and prospective use and/or development of the Property or as otherwise is required by law. Moreover, Buyer agrees that, prior to the Close of Escrow, the Property Information will be transmitted only to Buyers Representatives and such governmental authorities who need to know the Property Information for the purpose of evaluating the Property and preparing for the ownership and management of the Property, and who are informed by the Buyer of the confidential nature of the Property Information. The provisions of this Section 25.1 shall in no event apply to any information (i) which is publicly available, (ii) consisting of analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Buyer or Buyers Representatives, or (iii) which is obtained by Buyer or Buyers representatives from a third-party that is not known to Buyer to be subject to a confidentiality obligation to Seller. The provisions of this Section 25.1 shall not prevent Buyer from complying with laws, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, or prevent Buyer from pursuing its rights under this Agreement in a legal or quasi-legal proceeding. It is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not preclude Buyer from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, or preclude Buyer from sharing information relating to the Property, on a confidential basis, with Buyers members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees engineers, direct or indirect owners, affiliates, attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, advisors, rating agencies, potential co-investors, or potential lenders.
29
25.2 Publicity. Buyer and Seller, for the benefit of each other, hereby agree that between the date hereof and the Close of Escrow, they will not release or cause or permit to be released any press notices, publicity (oral or written) or advertising promotion relating to, or otherwise publicly announce or disclose or cause or permit to be publicly announced or disclosed, in any manner whatsoever, the terms, conditions or substance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, without first obtaining the written consent of the other party hereto. It is understood that the foregoing shall not preclude either party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, subject to the terms of Section 25.1, with any of its attorneys, accountants, professional consultants or advisors, rating agencies, or potential lenders or co-investors, as the case may be, or prevent either party hereto from complying with laws, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements, or prevent either party from pursuing its rights under this Agreement in a judicial or arbitration proceeding. After Close of Escrow, neither party shall publicly disseminate the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the extent the same are not a matter of public record, and except as may be necessary to comply with applicable laws, including without limitation governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax, or reporting requirements, or to pursue its rights under this Agreement in a legal or quasi-legal proceeding, provided that each party may disclose the Closing of the transaction without disclosing the Purchase Price or the other party to this Agreement. If the indirect parent of Seller determines that the filing of a Form 8-K or making other public disclosure is required in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and/or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, whether before or after Closing, Buyer agrees that such filing and disclosure (including attaching the Agreement as an exhibit in any securities filing) shall constitute Sellers disclosure in compliance with law and shall supersede any other provisions of this Agreement.
25.3 Indemnity.
25.3.1 Buyer shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Seller and Sellers affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by one or more of Seller and any of Sellers affiliates arising out of or in connection with a breach by Buyer or Buyers Representatives of the provisions of this Section 25, provided, however in no event shall Buyer be responsible or consequential damages incurred by Seller or any of Sellers Affiliates.
25.3.2 Seller shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold harmless Buyer and Buyers affiliates from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by one or more of Buyer and any of Buyers affiliates arising out of or in connection with a breach by Seller or any representative of Seller of the provisions of this Section 25, provided, however in no event shall Seller be responsible or consequential damages incurred by Buyer or any of Buyers affiliates.
25.4 Intentionally Omitted.
25.5 Property Information. As used in this Agreement, the term Property Information shall mean all information and documents in any way relating to the Property, the operation thereof or the sale thereof (including, without limitation, the leases and contracts) furnished to Buyer or Buyers Representatives, by Seller or any of Sellers affiliates, or their agents or representatives, including, without limitation, their contractors, engineers, attorneys, accountants, consultants, brokers or advisors, and (ii) all analyses, compilations, data, studies, reports or other information or documents prepared or obtained by Buyer or Buyers Representatives containing or based, in whole or in part, on the information or documents described in the preceding clause (i), or the Buyers investigations, or otherwise reflecting their review or investigation of the Property.
25.6 Equitable Relief. In addition to any other remedies available to Seller, Seller shall have the right to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief or specific performance against Buyer or Buyers Representatives in order to enforce the provisions of this Section 25 and Section 6.3.
30
25.7 Survival. The provisions of this Section 25 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the termination of this Agreement for any reason for a period of two (2) years.
26. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including all exhibits attached) is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter addressed in this Agreement and supersedes all prior understandings with respect to that subject matter. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligation under this Agreement be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit under this Agreement on any person, firm or corporation other than Buyer and Seller.
27. Time of Essence. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term condition, obligation and provision of this Agreement.
28. Construction of Agreement. The parties hereby agree that the language of this Agreement shall not be construed against any party, and neither party shall be deemed or determined to be the drafting party of this Agreement for purposes of any generally applicable rule of construction to the effect that ambiguous provisions are to be construed in the manner less or least favorable to the drafting party, but rather in accordance with its fair meaning. Headings at the beginning of each paragraph and subparagraph (if any) are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared it. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to paragraphs and subparagraphs are to paragraphs and subparagraphs in this Agreement. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated into this Agreement by this reference. In the event the date on which Buyer or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a business day, the actions shall be taken on the next succeeding business day. As used in this Agreement, references to the knowledge of Seller or Buyer shall be deemed to refer only to actual knowledge (without duty to investigate) and not constructive knowledge.
29. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State where the Property is located. Each party agrees to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the County, as necessary to effectuate the terms of this Agreement, and that proper venue in any matter so litigated shall be in the County.
30. Effect of Delivery; Expiration. This Agreement shall not be binding or enforceable unless and until it is executed and delivered by both parties.
31. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts each of which so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
32. Guaranty by Seller Guarantor.

From and after the Close of Escrow, the Seller Guarantor hereby guarantees to Buyer the due and punctual payment and performance of each Sellers obligations under Section 14 and Section 16, subject to any limitations on survival or amounts payable set forth in this Agreement.
32.2 The terms of this Section 32 and the Seller Guarantors obligations hereunder are a continuing and irrevocable obligation of the Seller Guarantor and shall remain in full force until payment, performance and/or observation in full of the obligations hereunder. The Seller Guarantors guaranty and liability under this Section 32 are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected, released, terminated, discharged or impaired, in whole or in part, by any or all of the following: (i) any amendment or modification of the terms of this Agreement; (ii) any failure or delay of Buyer to exercise, or any lack of diligence in exercising, any right or remedy with respect to this Agreement; (iii) any dealings or transactions between Buyer and Seller or any of their affiliates relating to this Agreement, whether or not
31
the Seller Guarantor shall be a party to or cognizant of the same; (iv) any guaranty now or hereafter executed by the Seller Guarantor or its affiliates or the release of the Seller Guarantor or its affiliates thereunder or the failure of any other party to assume liability for the payment in connection with this Agreement, whether by operation of law or otherwise; (v) Buyers consent to any assignment or successive assignments of this Agreement; (vi) the failure to give Seller notice of any breach of this Agreement if such notice is not required; and/or (vii) any other circumstance which might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense available to the Seller Guarantor, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing (including any bankruptcy of any Seller), other than the defense of (a) payment and performance or (b) the claim against any Seller is not due and owing under the terms of this Agreement or that Seller has performed (it being understood and agreed that Buyer will only be required to litigate the existence of the same or similar defenses raised by both Seller and the Seller Guarantor in one action or proceeding). The Seller Guarantor expressly waives the following: (i) notice of acceptance of this Agreement; (ii) any requirement of promptness, diligence, presentment, protest, notice of dishonor, notice of demand and notice of acceptance; (iii) the right to trial by jury in any action or proceeding of any kind arising on, under, out of, or by reason of or relating, in any way, to its obligations under this Section 32, or the interpretation, breach or enforcement of such obligations; and (iv) all rights of subrogation and any other claims that it may now or hereafter acquire against Sellers or any insider that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Seller Guarantors obligations under this Section 32 until such time as the Seller Guarantors obligations under this Article XVI are performed and paid in full. The Seller Guarantors guaranty under this Section 32 is a present guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection.

Exhibit B
Matters of Record to Grant Deed
Exhibit C
CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that the transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required by the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by , LP, a California limited partnership (Seller), the undersigned certifies the following on behalf of Seller:
1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
2. Sellers U.S. employer identification number is ;
3. Seller has an office address at 4700 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, California 90010; and
4. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in United States Internal Revenue Code Section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).
Seller and the undersigned understand that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this Certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.
