     THIS AGREEMENT is entered into as of the 30th day of November, 2010 (“Contract Date”), by and between 200 OCEANGATE, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and MOLINA CENTER LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”).
RECITALS
     Seller owns and is offering for sale the land and improvements commonly known as 200 & 300 Oceangate, Long Beach, California, and more completely described below. Buyer has offered to buy the property, and the parties are entering into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions of the sale to Buyer.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Agreement of Sale.
     1.1 Seller hereby agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from Seller that certain real property (the “Land”) with street address of 200 & 300 Oceangate, Long Beach, California, and more particularly described in attached Exhibit A, together with Seller’s right, title and interest in the following, which together with the Land, shall be termed the “Property” herein:

          (b) all easements, rights of way, privileges, licenses, appurtenances and other rights and benefits of Seller belonging to or in any way related to the Land, and the Improvements, including water rights, mineral rights, air rights and development rights, if any (together with the Land and Improvements, the “Real Property”);
          (c) all fixtures, furnishings, equipment and other tangible personal property owned by Seller that are used for the operation of the Property and that are located on the Property or that are used exclusively for the operation of the Property (the “Personal Property”);
          (d) the Leases and Service Contracts (as such terms are hereinafter defined) and all security deposits held by Seller with respect to the Leases;
          (e) to the extent assignable, all certificate(s) of occupancy, building or equipment permits, consents, authorizations, variances, waivers, licenses, permits, certificates

- 1 -


 

and approvals from any governmental or quasi-governmental authority necessary for the use of the Land or the Improvements (collectively, the “Approvals”);
          (f) all transferable or assignable warranties (the “Warranties”) relating to the ownership, development, use and operation of the Land and Improvements;
          (g) to the extent assignable, all of Seller’s interest in all structural, soil, seismic, geologic, engineering and other reports and studies, all operating manuals for all systems, equipment and operating components of the Property, all marketing materials that are distributed or shown to potential tenants in the marketing of the Property for lease, photos and depictions, all architectural drawings, plans and specifications relating to all or any portion of the Real Property, and all intellectual property rights to the Property, including, without limitation, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or other source and business identifiers, trademark registrations and applications for registration used at or relating to the Real Property and any written agreement granting to Seller any right to use any trademark or trademark registration at or in connection with the Real Property (the “Intangible Property”).
2. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property is Eighty-Three Million Dollars ($83,000,000.00) (“Purchase Price”) and shall be paid in cash by Buyer at the Closing (as defined in Section 10.1 below).
3. Non-Refundable Payment and Deposit
     3.1 Non-Refundable Payment. On the Contract Date, as consideration for Seller’s agreement to enter into this Agreement and grant Buyer the right to conduct due diligence and terminate this Agreement on and subject to the terms of Section 7, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver directly to Seller, by personal check, cash or wire transfer funds in the amount of One Hundred and No/100ths Dollars ($100) (the “Non-Refundable Payment”). The Non-Refundable Payment shall be fully earned and retained by Seller immediately upon receipt and, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, the Non-Refundable Payment shall not be returned to Buyer in any circumstance.
     3.2 Deposit; Liquidated Damages.
          (a) Initial Deposit. Within one (1) business day after the Contract Date, Buyer shall deposit in an escrow (the “Escrow”) established for the within contemplated transaction with First American Title Insurance Company, National Commercial Services, 1850 Mt. Diablo Blvd., Suite 300, Walnut Creek, California, 94596, Attention: Kitty Schlesinger, Order No. NCS-453433-CC (the “Title Company”), the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Initial Deposit”), with instructions to the Title Company to hold the Initial Deposit in the Escrow in an interest-bearing account, with interest accruing for the benefit of Buyer. In the event the sale of the Property is consummated, the Initial Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be applied towards the Purchase Price. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to its terms or fails to notify Seller in writing that the Property is acceptable, as provided in Section 7, prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period (as defined in Section 7), the Initial Deposit and all interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall be

- 2 -


 

released from all further obligations and liability under this Agreement, except for those obligations that survive the termination of this Agreement.
          (b) Additional Deposit. Concurrently with, and subject to, the delivery of the Approval Notice to Buyer as provided in Section 7, Buyer shall deposit in the Escrow the additional sum of Two Million and No/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Additional Deposit” and together with the Initial Deposit, the “Deposit”), with instructions to the Title Company to hold such Additional Deposit in the Escrow, in an interest bearing account, with interest accruing for the benefit of Buyer. In the event the sale of the Property to Buyer is consummated, the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be applied towards the Purchase Price.
          (c) Non-Refundable Deposit. Upon the delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Approval Notice, the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except in the following events, upon the occurrence of which the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer: (i) the Closing fails to occur due to a material default by Seller under this Agreement; (ii) the Closing fails to occur as a result of a failure of a condition to Closing in favor of Buyer, but only if such failure occurs other than as a result of a material default by Buyer under this Agreement; or (iii) the terms of this Agreement expressly provide for the return of the Deposit to Buyer. On the Closing Date, the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be applied to the Purchase Price.
          (d) Liquidated Damages. If this Agreement does not terminate pursuant to Section 7, but Buyer fails to consummate this transaction on the scheduled Closing Date (as defined in Section 10.1) due to default by Buyer and any such default continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Seller to Buyer, which written notice shall detail such default, Seller shall be entitled to the Deposit, and all interest thereon, as liquidated damages. The parties have acknowledged and agreed that Seller’s damages, in the event of a default by Buyer, would be extremely difficult or impracticable to determine. Therefore, by placing their initials below, the parties acknowledge that the Deposit, and all interest thereon, has been agreed upon, after negotiation, as the parties’ reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller’s ability to recover from Buyer any loss, cost, damage or expense pursuant to any indemnification or other provision of this Agreement that survives the Closing be deemed limited in any respect by this provision or by Seller’s receipt of the Deposit. The parties agree that the Deposit is not intended as a forfeiture or penalty within the meaning of California Civil Code Sections 3275 or 3369 but shall be treated as liquidated damages pursuant to California Civil Code Sections 1671, 1676 and 1677.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees that if the Major Non-Government Tenants in Occupancy delete or modify one or both of sections 20 and 21 of the form Tenant Estoppel attached as Exhibit D, such deletion(s) or modification(s) shall not constitute a change in the form approved or deemed approved by Buyer.

- 5 -


 

of title insurance in a form acceptable to Buyer, which is not conditioned on the performance by any party or third party of any actions other than the express obligations of the parties under this Agreement (the “Commitment”). Seller will provide, at Closing, an affidavit to the Title Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. Buyer shall deliver the Commitment to Seller together with a letter from Buyer to Seller stating that the exceptions to title reflected in the Commitment are approved by Buyer. If Buyer does not provide Seller with the Commitment and such letter prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the title reflected in the Preliminary Title Report (or any updated title report) shall be deemed unacceptable and disapproved, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit, together with all interest thereon, shall be returned to Buyer. Seller shall have no duty to cure, and Buyer shall not be entitled to any offset or credit against the Purchase Price due to, any defect in the title to the Property or any condition or aspect of the Property, to which Buyer may object, except as may be agreed by Seller in writing, in its sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Seller shall remove, bond over, or obtain a title endorsement for any liens (“Seller Liens”) that affect the Property and that are not liens for taxes or assessments accruing on or after the Closing and that are not created by, or the result of actions of, Buyer, Molina or any of their respective affiliates, agents, employees or contractors. Any cure that Seller has so agreed to perform or is obligated to perform shall become a condition precedent to Closing in favor of Buyer and shall be cured by the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 5.1, a “cure” of a title exception means the elimination of such exception from title and shall not include the bonding of, or endorsement over unless such bonding is in an amount and on terms required by the Title Company for elimination of such exception from the Title Policy (as defined in Section 5.3) as reasonably determined by Buyer. If such cure is not accomplished by the Closing Date, Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may either terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, or waive such objection and complete the Closing subject to such exception, provided that if Seller refuses to remove a Seller Lien at Closing, Buyer shall have the right to instruct the Title Company, as escrow agent, to apply a portion of the Purchase Price sufficient to discharge such Seller Lien at Closing.
     5.2 Permitted Exceptions. The following shall constitute the “Permitted Exceptions”: (a) the Title Company’s standard exceptions; (b) all exceptions that are shown on the Commitment; (c) all of the Leases; and (d) all exceptions that arise after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Closing that are not Seller Liens and that are approved by Buyer, in writing, in its sole and absolute discretion, or are caused by Buyer or Molina, their agents, employees, contractors or representatives or result from any new survey of the Real Property or any update of any existing survey.
     5.3 Title Policy. Evidence of title shall be the issuance by the Title Company at Closing of a policy of title insurance in the form of the Commitment, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (“Title Policy”). Seller shall be responsible for the cost of a CLTA standard coverage policy of title insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price; Buyer shall be responsible for the incremental cost of an ALTA extended coverage policy of title insurance, the cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy and for providing any necessary surveys (other than the Survey) to the Title Company.

     5.4 No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum of this Agreement shall be recorded by, or on behalf of, Buyer in the Official Records of the County of Los Angeles. If Buyer violates the terms of this Section 5.4 by recording or attempting to record this Agreement or a memorandum thereof, such act shall not operate to bind or cloud the title to the Property, shall constitute a material breach and default by Buyer under this Agreement, and shall entitle Seller to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, which termination notice may be recorded against the Property.
6. Access.
     6.1 Provided that Buyer has complied with the insurance requirements in Section 6.3 and gives Seller at least one (1) business day’s prior notice (oral or written), Seller shall allow Buyer and authorized representatives of Buyer reasonable access, at reasonable times, to the Property for the purposes of satisfying Buyer with respect to the Property. In performing its examinations and inspections of the Property, Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to minimize any interference with Seller’s and the Tenants’ use and occupancy of the Property. Seller shall have the right at all times to have a representative of Seller accompany any of Buyer or Buyer’s employees, agents, contractors, consultants, officers, directors, representatives, managers or members (collectively, “Buyer’s Agents”) while such persons are on the Property. Buyer may conduct interviews with the Tenants, provided Buyer has given Seller no less than two (2) business days notice prior to any such interview, and provided further that Seller shall have the right to be present at all such interviews. Buyer’s breach of this Section 6.1 (and all subsections) shall constitute a material breach and default by Buyer of this Agreement. All investigations and inspections shall be performed in compliance with this Section 6 and all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, any and all permits required thereunder, which permits shall be obtained by and at the sole cost of Buyer.
          (a) Buyer shall not conduct or allow any physically intrusive or destructive testing of, on or under the Property, without Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld at Seller’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, Buyer may, subject to its damage and repair obligations in this Section 6.1 and 6.2, inspect the Property for asbestos-related materials. Buyer shall provide Seller with two (2) days written notice prior to the commencement of any physically intrusive or destructive testing, accompanied by a detailed work plan describing the nature, scope, location and purpose of the proposed work. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller’s review of Buyer’s work plan is solely for the purpose of protecting Seller’s interests, and shall not be deemed to create any liability of any kind on the part of Seller in connection with such review that, for example, the work plan is adequate or appropriate for any purpose or complies with applicable legal requirements. All work and investigations shall be performed in compliance with all local, state and federal laws, rules and regulations, including, without limitation, any and all permits required thereunder, all of which shall be at the sole cost and expense of Buyer.
          (b) During the performance of Buyer’s investigations, Buyer shall promptly remove and properly dispose of all samples, substances and materials extracted from or generated by Buyer at the Property and, upon the completion of its investigations, shall return the Property to its original condition, including the removal of all equipment and materials used or

- 7 -


 

generated during its investigations. Buyer shall name itself as the generator on any waste manifests required to dispose of said materials and shall obtain its own waste generator identification number with respect thereto. If Buyer fails to perform or cause such restoration, and such failure shall continue for two (2) days after Buyer receives written notice from Seller demanding the cure thereof, Seller may perform or cause to be performed such restoration work, and Buyer shall reimburse Seller for all the costs and expenses thereof within two (2) days after receipt of bills therefor from Seller.
     6.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any entry upon, inspection, or investigation of the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents shall be performed at the sole risk and expense of Buyer, and Buyer shall be solely and absolutely responsible for the acts or omissions of any of Buyer’s Agents. Furthermore, Buyer shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold Seller, and its successors, assigns, and affiliates harmless from and against any and all losses, damages (whether general, punitive or otherwise), liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, costs and legal or other expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and costs) (collectively, “Access Claims”) suffered or incurred by any or all of such indemnified parties to the extent resulting from any act or omission of Buyer or Buyer’s Agents in connection with: (i) Buyer’s inspection or investigations of the Property; (ii) Buyer’s entry upon the Property; (iii) any activities, studies or investigations conducted at, to, or on the Property by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents; or (iv) the presence by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents at or on the Property. If at any time prior to Closing, Buyer or Buyer’s Agents cause any damage to the Property, Buyer shall, at its sole expense, immediately restore the Property to the same condition as existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such damage as determined by Seller in Seller’s reasonable discretion. Buyer’s obligations under this Section 6.2 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, as the case may be, notwithstanding any other provisions herein to the contrary, and shall not be limited by the terms of Section 3. Buyer shall, at all times, keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics’, materialmen’s or design professional’s claims or liens arising out of or relating to its investigations of the Property. The foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2 shall not apply to, and Buyer shall have no liability for, or obligation to protect, indemnify, defend or hold Seller (or any other person or party) harmless from or against any of the following: (i) the discovery by Buyer or any of Buyer’s Agents of any Hazardous Material on, under or affecting the Property, except to the extent that Buyer and Buyer’s Agents exacerbate such condition in any material respect; (ii) the discovery by Buyer or Buyer’s Agents of adverse physical, environmental, economic, neighborhood or other conditions at, on, in, under, around or affecting the Property, except to the extent that Buyer and Buyer’s Agents exacerbate such condition in any material respect; or (iii) events, occurrences or conditions resulting from the acts or omissions of Seller or Seller’s agents or representatives, except to the extent Buyer and Buyer’s Agents exacerbate such events, occurrences or condition in any material respect. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.2 to the contrary, Buyer shall have no duty or obligation to identify or repair any condition in, on or affecting the Property that Buyer or Buyer’s Agents discover or of which they are aware that may or could be unsafe or dangerous unless and to the extent such unsafe or dangerous condition was caused by the Buyer or Buyer’s Agents.
     6.3 Buyer shall maintain in full force and effect during the term of this Agreement, the public liability insurance covering Buyer and its activities at the Property on the terms and

- 8 -


 

with the coverages described in the ACORD Certificate of Liability Insurance attached hereto as Exhibit K, naming Seller as an additional insured under all such liability insurance.
7. Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have until December 30, 2010, (“Due Diligence Period”) to inspect and investigate the Property, including roof, plumbing, soils, electrical, sprinkler, water, sewer, mechanical, engineering, heating, ventilation and air conditioning and life safety systems, structural integrity of the Improvements, measurement of the square footage of the Land and Improvements, legal status and requirements pertaining to the Property (including applicable building codes, zoning, environmental, public health and fire safety laws), hazardous substance inspections including preparation of an environmental assessment, suitability of the Property for Buyer’s purposes and all other matters of significance to Buyer. Buyer agrees to keep the results of such testing and inspections confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law (in which case Buyer will notify Seller in writing prior to making any such disclosure). Buyer shall order and pay for all costs and expenses with respect to such inspections and investigations. If, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, Buyer desires to proceed with its acquisition of the Property, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller (the “Approval Notice”), prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, stating that it approves the Property, in which case the parties shall proceed to complete the Closing (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement). If Buyer fails to deliver the Approval Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or if such Approval Notice seeks to modify any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, Buyer will be deemed to have disapproved the Property and to have exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7, in which case this Agreement shall automatically terminate as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Initial Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer. Further, if Buyer fails to deposit the full Additional Deposit in Escrow prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, regardless of whether Buyer has delivered the Approval Notice, Buyer will be deemed to have disapproved the Property and to have exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7, in which case this Agreement shall automatically terminate as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the Initial Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Buyer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer may elect, at any time prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, for any reason or no reason, to terminate this Agreement, upon which termination the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be refunded to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligation to each other excepts for those obligations which expressly survive such termination.
8. Acceptance of Property “As Is”. ACKNOWLEDGING BUYER’S OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT AND INVESTIGATE THE PROPERTY AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER AGREES TO TAKE THE PROPERTY “AS IS” WITH ALL FAULTS AND CONDITIONS THEREON, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER AGREEMENTS ENTERED INTO BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER AS OF THE CLOSING DATE. ANY INFORMATION, REPORTS, STATEMENTS, DOCUMENTS OR RECORDS (“DISCLOSURES”) PROVIDED OR MADE TO BUYER OR ITS CONSTITUENTS BY SELLER, ITS AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES OR EMPLOYEES CONCERNING THE PROPERTY SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE REPRESENTATIONS OR

- 9 -


 

WARRANTIES.

Seller may, at any time before the Closing, waive one or more of the following conditions, but only in writing and any such waiver will not affect its rights and remedies with respect to the remaining conditions:
          (a) The performance by Buyer of all its obligations hereunder; and
          (b) The truth, completeness and accuracy, in all material respects, of each representation and warranty made by Buyer as of the Contract Date and the Closing.
     9.3 Seller Default. If, at the Closing, (i) Seller is in default of any of its obligations hereunder, or (ii) any of Seller’s representations or warranties set forth in Section 11.1 are untrue, inaccurate or incorrect when given, in any material respect, or (iii) the Closing otherwise fails to occur by reason of Seller’s failure or refusal to perform its obligations hereunder in a prompt and timely manner, and any such circumstance described in any of clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) continues for five (5) business days after written notice from Buyer to Seller, which written notice shall detail such default, untruth or failure, as applicable, then Buyer shall have the right, to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to (a) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, promptly after which (A) the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer, and (B) Seller shall pay to Buyer any title, escrow, legal and inspection fees incurred by Buyer and any other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with its review of the Property, and the negotiation, documentation and performance of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of environmental and engineering consultants, legal and accounting fees and expenses, and other out-of-pocket third party charges related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and their consummation), subject to a cap of $125,000 (collectively, “Buyer’s Costs”), in which case, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, or (b) waive the condition and proceed to Closing, or (c) seek specific performance

- 13 -


 

of this Agreement by Seller.

Buyer agrees that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific performance within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed a waiver by it of its right to commence an action for specific performance as well as a waiver by it of any right it may have to file or record a notice of lis pendens or notice of pendency of action or similar notice against any portion of the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if by Seller’s affirmative acts the remedy of specific performance has been rendered unavailable to Buyer, Buyer shall have and may assert against Seller as a result of Seller’s default under this Agreement, any and all rights available at law and in equity, without imposition of the limitations in this Agreement on Buyer’s rights, remedies or damages.

In connection with such defeasance, Buyer agrees to cooperate in good faith with all usual and customary requirements imposed by the master loan servicer, bond trustee and ratings agency for such defeasance transaction so long as Buyer is not required to incur any additional liability or expense in so doing.

Seller shall be solely responsible for any and all costs, fees and expenses in connection with such defeasance, and any yield maintenance or other premiums or payments required in connection with such defeasance.

Seller shall be responsible for all real and personal property ad valorem taxes and special assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date; Buyer shall be responsible for all real and personal property ad valorem taxes and special assessments applicable to the period from and after the Closing Date. With respect to any property tax appeal or reassessment filed by Seller for the current tax year or tax years (or portions thereof) prior to the Closing, Seller shall be entitled to the full amount of any refund or rebate resulting therefrom applicable to the period before the Closing Date, except to the extent such amounts are payable to, or otherwise accrue to the benefit of, the Tenants pursuant to the Leases, which amounts Seller shall promptly refund to such Tenants.
          (d) Utility Charges. All utility (including electricity, gas, water, sewer and telephone) charges will be prorated to the Closing Date as Expenses. All refundable utility security deposits, if any, will be retained by Seller.
          (e) Government Tenants. Buyer acknowledges that the Government Tenants pay Rents in arrears. Accordingly, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for the Rents that accrue under the Leases of the Government Tenants in the month that Closing occurs, to the extent any rents accrue under such Leases.
          (f) Molina Rents and Reimbursements. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller is due any amounts from Molina under its Lease that are ascertainable, Seller shall receive a credit at Closing for such amounts. Likewise, if any amounts are due and owing from Seller to Molina at Closing, Seller shall pay such amounts to Molina at or before Closing. Any amounts that are due and owing from Seller to Molina after Closing shall be paid by Seller to Molina as and when such amounts come due, after deduction for all amounts then due and owing to Seller by Molina or Buyer.
          (g) Post-Closing. If the amount of any proration cannot be determined at the Closing, the adjustments will be made between the parties as soon after Closing as possible, as follows:
               (i) Non-delinquent Rents. If after the Closing either Buyer or Seller collects any non-delinquent Rents applicable to the month in which the Closing occurred (or if Seller collects any Rents applicable to any month following the month in which the Closing occurred), such Rents shall be prorated as of the Closing Date and paid to the party entitled thereto not later than five (5) business days following receipt, except to the extent such party received a credit at Closing for such Rents.

If after the Closing Date either Buyer or Seller receives from any Tenant Rents that were delinquent as of the Closing Date and that relate to the rental period in which the Closing occurred, then such Rents shall be applied in the following order of priority: First, to reimburse Buyer for all out-of-pocket third-party collection costs actually incurred by Buyer in collecting

- 17 -


 

such Rents; second, to satisfy such Tenant’s Rent obligations relating to the period after the Closing Date; and third, to satisfy such delinquent Rent obligations relating to the period prior to the Closing Date. Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such delinquent rents but Buyer has no obligation to institute any collection action or otherwise incur any material cost in connection therewith. Seller shall have no right to pursue or continue the collection of such delinquent Rents from any Tenant in occupancy as of the Closing Date, but Seller shall have the right to continue to prosecute any collection proceedings that were initiated prior to the Closing against any tenant no longer in occupancy as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Molina owes any Rents for any period prior to Closing for which Seller did not receive a credit at Closing, Buyer shall pay all Rents received from Molina to Seller until such Rents owed to Seller have been paid in full.
               (iii) Expenses. With respect to any invoice received by Buyer or Seller after the Closing Date for Expenses that relate to the period in which the Closing occurred, the party receiving such invoice shall give the other party written notice of such invoice, and the other party shall have thirty days to review and approve the accuracy of any such invoice. If the parties agree that the Invoice is accurate and should be paid, the parties shall compute each party’s pro rata share, and deliver a check for that amount in favor of the vendor.
          (h) Survival of Obligations. The obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Section 10.5 shall survive the Closing.
     10.6 Items Not to be Prorated. There shall be no prorations or adjustments of any kind with respect to:

          (b) Delinquent Fixed Rents for Full Months Prior to the Month in which the Closing Occurred. Delinquent Fixed Rents with respect to Tenants under the Leases applicable to months prior to the calendar month in which the Closing occurred shall remain the property of Seller, and Buyer shall have no claim thereto whether collected by Seller or Buyer, before or after the Closing, and no responsibility of any kind with respect thereto except as specifically set forth herein. Seller shall not take or continue to take collection measures from or after the Closing. Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any delinquent Fixed Rents owed Seller, but Buyer has no obligation to institute any collection action or otherwise incur any material costs in connection therewith. Except with respect to the Rents collected from Molina, Fixed Rents collected from Tenants after the Closing Date shall be applied in the following order of priority: First, to reimburse Buyer for all out-of-pocket third-party collection costs actually incurred by Buyer in collecting such Rents; second, to satisfy such Tenant’s Rent obligations relating to the period after the Closing Date; and third, to satisfy such delinquent Rent obligations relating to periods prior to the Closing Date. In the event that Buyer collects any such delinquent Fixed Rents, Buyer shall apply such Fixed Rents as contemplated above and shall promptly pay over to Seller any amounts properly owed to Seller.

- 18 -


 

          (c) Additional Rents Relating to Full or Partial Months Prior to the Closing Date. If Additional Rents relating to full or partial months prior to the Closing Date are not finally adjusted between Seller and any Tenant until after the Closing Date, then any refund to which any Tenant may be entitled shall be the obligation of Seller, and any additional amounts due from the Tenant for such period shall be the property of Seller. Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to any such refund due to any Tenant and no claim to any such amounts due from any Tenant, except that Buyer shall promptly pay to Seller any such delinquent Additional Rent amounts as it actually collects. If Seller receives any refund of expenses paid prior to the Closing and relating to a period prior to the Closing, and such expenses were reimbursed in whole or in part by any Tenant, Seller shall refund to each Tenant its share of any such refund. Buyer agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to collect any such Additional Rents but Buyer has no obligation to institute any collection action or otherwise incur any material cost in connection therewith.
          (d) Security Deposits. Seller shall deliver to Buyer (or credit to Buyer at Closing) all prepaid rents, security deposits, letters of credit and other collateral actually held by Seller or any of its affiliates or successors in interest under any of the Leases, to the extent not applied by Seller prior to the Closing Date to the extent permitted under the Leases. From and after the Contract Date, Seller shall not apply any security deposits without the Buyer’s prior written consent.

If Buyer timely delivers the Approval Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted Seller’s proposed Closing Leasing Credit and Buyer will proceed with the acquisition of the Property under the terms of this Agreement. Except as otherwise agreed to by Seller and Buyer, the Closing Leasing Credit shall constitute Seller’s sole and only obligations with respect to the Existing Lease Expenses, and as of the Closing Date Buyer shall assume all such obligations (as to leasing commissions only, up to the amount set forth for leasing commissions in the Closing Lease Credit) and indemnify and hold Seller harmless with respect thereto (as to leasing commissions only, up to the amount set forth for leasing commissions in the Closing Lease Credit).

     18.1 Headings. The headings used herein are for purposes of convenience only and should not be used in construing the provisions hereof.
     18.2 Covenant of Further Assurances. The parties hereby agree to execute and deliver such other documents and instruments (including, without limitation, additional escrow instructions in conformity with this Agreement), and to take such other actions, whether before or after Closing, as may reasonably be required and which may be necessary to consummate this transaction and to otherwise effectuate the agreements of the parties hereto; provided that such additional documents, instruments, or actions shall not impose upon the parties any obligations, duties, liabilities or responsibilities which are not expressly provided for in this Agreement.
     18.3 Entire Agreement. This document represents the final, entire and complete agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications or representations, whether oral or written, express or implied, including any letters of intent, including that certain Confidentiality Agreement 200 & 300 Oceangate by and between Molina and Seller. The parties acknowledge and agree that they may not and are not relying on any representation, promise, inducement, or other statement, whether oral or written and by whomever made, that is not contained expressly in this Agreement. This Agreement may only be modified by a written instrument signed by representatives authorized to bind both parties. Oral modifications are unenforceable.

     18.4 Partial Invalidity. If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement or its application to any person or circumstances shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected, and each term hereof shall be legal, valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law, unless an essential purpose of this Agreement would be defeated by the loss of the illegal, unenforceable, or invalid provision. In the event of such partial invalidity, the parties shall seek in good faith to agree on replacing any such legally invalid provisions with valid provisions which, in effect, will, from an economic viewpoint, most nearly and fairly approach the effect of the invalid provision and the intent of the parties in entering into this Agreement.
     18.5 No Waiver. No consent or waiver by either party to or of any breach or non-performance of any representation, condition, covenant or warranty shall be enforceable unless in a writing signed by the party entitled to enforce performance, and such signed consent or waiver shall not be construed as a consent to or waiver of any other breach or non-performance of the same or any other representation, condition, covenant, or warranty.
     18.6 Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any arbitration or litigation between the parties, whether based on contract, tort or other cause of action or involving bankruptcy or similar proceedings, in any way related to this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall pay to the prevailing party all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and expenses of any type, without restriction by statute, court rule or otherwise, incurred by the prevailing party in connection with any action or proceeding (including arbitration proceedings, any appeals and the enforcement of any judgment or award), whether or not the dispute is litigated or prosecuted to final judgment. The “prevailing party” shall be determined based upon an assessment of which party’s major arguments or positions taken in the action or proceeding could fairly be said to have prevailed (whether by compromise, settlement, abandonment by the other party of its claim or defense, final decision, after any appeals, or otherwise) over the other party’s major arguments or positions on major disputed issues.
     18.7 Brokers and Finders. Neither party has had any contact or dealings regarding the Property, through any licensed real estate broker or other persons who can claim a right to a commission or finder’s fee in connection with this transaction, except for CB Richard Ellis, Inc., representing Seller (the “Selling Broker”) and McKinney Advisory Group, Inc., representing Buyer (the “Buying Broker”). The parties agree that Seller shall pay a brokerage commission to Selling Broker, pursuant to its separate agreement with the Selling Broker. The parties agree that Buyer shall pay any amount owing to Buying Broker pursuant to its separate agreement with the Buying Broker. In the event that any other party claims a commission or finder’s fee in this transaction, the party through whom the party makes its claim shall be responsible for said commission or fee and shall indemnify the other against all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in defending against the same. This indemnification obligation shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.
     18.8 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of this Agreement.

     18.9 Governing Law; Forum. This Agreement is entered into and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without giving effect to its choice of law principles).

Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, (i) the plural and singular numbers shall each be deemed to include the other; (ii) the masculine, feminine, and neuter genders shall each be deemed to include the others; (iii) “shall,” “will,” or “agrees” are mandatory, and “may” is permissive; (iv) “or” is not exclusive; (v) “includes” and “including” are not limiting, absent express language to the contrary; (vi) “days” means calendar days unless specifically provided otherwise; and (vii) “business day” means any day other than Saturday, Sunday, or any day that is an “optional bank holiday” under Section 7.1 of the California Civil Code, whether or not any particular bank is open for business on such optional bank holiday.
     18.11 IRS Form 1099-S Designation. In order to comply with information reporting requirements of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, the parties agree (i) to execute an IRS Form 1099-S Designation Agreement to designate the Title Company (the “Designee”) as the party who shall be responsible for reporting the contemplated sale of the Property to the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) on IRS Form 1099-S; and (ii) to provide the Designee with the information necessary to complete Form 1099-S.
     18.12 Third Party Beneficiaries.

     18.17 Exchange Transaction. Buyer agrees upon the request of Seller to cooperate with Seller in closing all or part of this transaction as an exchange pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 1031, provided that:
          (a) Buyer shall incur no additional expense or liability in connection therewith and shall not be required to make any representations or warranties, incur any personal liabilities or hold title to any property other than the Property;
          (b) Seller shall indemnify, protect, defend and hold Buyer harmless from any claims, liabilities, demands, causes of action, judgments, expenses, costs and attorneys’ fees in connection with such exchange or which result from Buyer’s compliance with this paragraph, which obligation shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement; and
          (c) The Closing is not extended or delayed by the exchange and the completion of the exchange is not a condition to Seller’s obligation to close the Escrow.
     18.18 Confidentiality. Buyer and Seller shall each maintain as confidential any and all material or information about the other, the terms of this Agreement, and the Property, and shall not disclose such information to any third party, except, in the case of Buyer, to Buyer’s investment bankers, lender or prospective lenders, insurance and reinsurance firms, accountants, attorneys, environmental and other consultants, as may be reasonably required for the consummation of this transaction, as required by law or in connection with any arbitration or litigation between the parties, and except, in the case of Seller, to Seller’s existing lender, attorneys, accountants and other professional consultants, as may be reasonably required for the consummation of this transaction, as required by law or in connection with any arbitration or litigation between the parties. Neither party shall issue a press release or other public statement about this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, unless such release or statement is required by law. Seller acknowledges that Buyer’s ultimate parent is a publicly traded company and that Buyer is, therefore, subject to laws and regulations regarding the disclosure and dissemination of business information. Buyer acknowledges that in the event this Agreement terminates for any reason, Seller has the right and the obligation to disclose to subsequent purchasers of the Property the price and material terms of this Agreement, and Buyer agrees that such disclosure is a permitted disclosure under this Section 18.18.
