Term Loan Agreement
-16-
(a) The payment due in January, 2012 shall be $264,966.49;
(b) The payment due on the first day of each subsequent month shall be the payment that would be required in such month in order to fully amortize the principal of the Loan that is outstanding immediately following receipt and application of the payment for the immediately preceding month in equal monthly combined payments of principal and interest, with interest at the Eurodollar Rate applicable as of the first day of the immediately preceding month, over the portion of a 25-year period commencing January 1, 2012 that remains as of the first day of the immediately preceding month; and

A certificate of Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section and the basis for such calculation shall be delivered to Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Borrower shall pay Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof. Nothing contained herein shall affect any breakage costs or premiums due under any Swap Agreement.
(b) Upon prepayment of the balance of the Loan at any time and for any reason other than at the end of an Interest Period, Borrower shall be obligated to pay the applicable amounts provided for in Section 2.4, whether such prepayment is made or occurs (i) as the result of a voluntary acceptance by Lender of a prepayment tendered by Borrower; (ii) by acceleration as a result of a Default by Borrower; (iii) in connection with any reinstatement of the Loan under any foreclosure proceedings or in connection with the purchase of the property at a foreclosure sale; or (iv) in connection with any right of redemption exercised by Borrower or any other party having the right to redeem or prevent any foreclosure of the Deed of Trust.

(c) Prepayments shall not relieve Borrower of its obligations to continue to make payments under the payment schedule. Rather, prepayments shall reduce the principal balance due on the Loan and may result in Borrowers making fewer payments with respect thereto.

If Borrower send such a payment, any Lender may accept it without losing any of that Lenders rights under this Agreement, and Borrower shall remain obligated to pay any further amounts owing to that Lender.

If an Affected Lender requires payment by Borrower of any amount pursuant to this Section 2.14, Borrower shall be obligated to pay such amount, but shall have the right, exercisable at any time within ninety (90) days after its payment of such amount, to pay off the entire portion of the Loan held by such Affected Lender. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any premium or penalty, but shall be obligated to pay any amounts that are payable pursuant to Section 2.4, and pursuant to any Swap Contract, in connection with such payoff.

ARTICLE 9
APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORIZATION OF ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT.
9.1 Authorization of Administrative Agent. Each Lender hereby irrevocably (subject to Section 9.11) appoints, designates and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and each other Loan Document and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this Agreement and any other Loan Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere herein or in any other Loan Document, Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor shall Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender. No implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall otherwise exist against Administrative Agent.

Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
9.2 No Waiver by Lender. No individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have any right to amend or waive, or consent to the departure of any party from any provision of any Loan Document, or secure or enforce the obligations of Borrower or any other party pursuant to the Loan Documents or otherwise.

Such rights, however, are subject to the rights of a Lender or Lenders, as expressly set forth in this Agreement and to approve matters or direct Administrative Agent to take or refrain from taking action as set forth in this Agreement. Except as expressly otherwise provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have and may use its reasonable discretion with respect to exercising or refraining from exercising any discretionary rights or taking or refraining from taking any actions which Administrative Agent is expressly entitled to exercise or take under this Agreement, the Notes, the Deed of Trust, the Parent Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, including (i) the determination if and to what extent matters or items subject to Administrative Agents satisfaction are acceptable or otherwise within its discretion, (ii) the making of Administrative Agent Advances, and (iii) the exercise of remedies pursuant to this Agreement any other Loan Document and any action so taken or not taken shall be deemed consented to by Lenders.
9.3 Receivership or Insolvency. In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or Parent, no individual Lender or group of Lenders shall have the right, and Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be exclusively entitled and empowered on behalf of itself and Lenders, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to Administrative Agent and, in the event that Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to Lenders, to pay to Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Indebtedness or the rights of Lenders except as approved by the Required Lenders or to authorize Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claims of Lenders except as approved by the Required Lenders in any such proceeding.

-43-

10.6 Execution of Loan Documents. Unless Lender otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document, this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart; as to each Loan Document, all of such executed counterparts, when taken together will be deemed to be the same instrument.

-51-
(c) No Lender shall have the right to assign all or a portion of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under the Loan Documents without the express prior written consent of Administrative Agent, which consent may be granted or withheld by Administrative Agent in its sole, but reasonable, discretion. In connection with exercise of its discretion, Administrative Agent shall have the right to consider the number of Lenders and the size of the Pro Rata Shares that would result from a proposed assignment, as well as the financial strength and sophistication of the proposed assignee. In any event, the proposed assignee must be a commercial bank that is either (i) organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof, or (ii) organized under the laws of any other nation provided that such bank has a branch or agency located within the United States of America. If and to the extent a Lender receives the consent of Administrative Agent to make such an assignment, Borrower shall execute new Notes to reflect the changed Pro Rata Shares of the affected Lenders, and the assigning Lender and the assignee shall execute such documents to evidence the assignment as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require, including an assumption by the assignee of the obligations of the assigning Lender with respect to the portion of the Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment and outstanding Advances and Administrative Agent Advances, a relinquishment of rights of the assigning Lender with respect to such portion of the Pro Rata Share of the Total Commitment and outstanding Advances and Administrative Agent Advances and a confirmation of the Pro Rata Shares of the assigning Lender and the assignee. Promptly following satisfaction of the foregoing conditions, Administrative Agent shall give notice to Borrower and all of the Lenders of the effectiveness of the assignment and of the revised Pro Rata Shares of the Lenders. Borrower shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Administrative Agent or any Lender (including any assigning Lender or assignee Lender) for any costs incurred in connection with any assignment or prospective assignment by a Lender.
10.8 Lien on Deposits and Property in Possession of Administrative Agent. The only accounts maintained by Borrower with Administrative Agent which shall be subject to a security agreement in favor of Administrative Agent shall be the DCR Collateral Account and the Replacement Reserve Account. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and apply any funds in those accounts against the Obligations.
10.9 Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents, attorneys and employees, successors and assigns (each, an Indemnitee, and collectively, the Indemnitees) from and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action that are asserted against any Indemnitee by any Person that relates to the Collateral, or the ownership or operation thereof by Borrower, (b) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to the Loan, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of the Loan, the relationship of Borrower and Lenders under

this Agreement or any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in each instance other than with respect to Article 9 or the relationship by and between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;, (c) any administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clauses (a) or (b) above other than related to Article 9 or the relationship by and between the Lenders and the Administrative Agent; and (d) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including attorneys fees and disbursements and other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined in a non appealable decision by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall reasonably, promptly notify Borrower, but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower obligations under this Section. Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower prior consent, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld. Each Indemnitee is authorized to employ counsel in enforcing its rights hereunder and in defending any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by this Section 10.9; provided that each Indemnitee shall endeavor, but shall not be obligated, in connection with any matter covered by this Section 10.9 which also involves other Indemnitees, to use reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees. Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 10.9 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to Lender. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.9 to the contrary, the foregoing obligations on the part of Borrower shall not apply to any claim, cause of action or dispute arising out of or related to the syndication of the Loan, the matters set forth in Article 9 of this Agreement, or the relationship by or between the Administrative Agent and any one or more Lenders, or any of them.

(b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given to Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation to anyone with respect thereto by Administrative Agent or any Lender;

(d) No Indemnitee shall be responsible or liable to any Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or damage to Property or other loss, damage, liability or claim caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower or its Affiliates and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds each Indemnitee harmless from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.

Known Violations of Hazardous Materials Law
In a letter dated October 24, 2011, 200 Oceangate, LLC (the former owner of the Real Property), received Waste Discharge Requirements and a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit (the NPDES Permit) from the California Regional Water Quality Control Board, Los Angeles Region (the CRWQCB), governing the discharge of seepage groundwater from the subbasement parking structure located on the premises of the Real Property. Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) of water quality data submitted to the CRWQCB indicated concentrations for arsenic and nickel at the cusp of their respective screening levels. As a result, the CRWQCB determined that effluent limitations for these parameters are not appropriate, but that long term monitoring for these parameters are necessary to ensure that the concentrations for these parameters remain insignificant. The Borrower intends to monitor the water quality of the groundwater discharge in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements set forth in the NPDES Permit.
