Section 1.5    Opening of Escrow; Deposit. On the Effective Date, Buyer and Seller shall cause an escrow (“Escrow”) to be opened with First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Agent”), having its office at 777 South Figueroa Street, Suite 400, Los Angeles, California 90017, Attention: Maurice Neri, by delivery to Escrow Agent of a copy of this Agreement executed by Buyer and Seller. In addition, Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to Escrow Agent any additional or supplementary instructions (“Additional Escrow Instructions”) as may be reasonably requested by Escrow Agent and necessary or convenient to implement the terms hereof and close the transactions contemplated hereby, provided such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between the Additional Escrow Instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control in all respects to the exclusion of any inconsistent or conflicting provisions set forth in the Additional Escrow Instructions. Not later than one Business Day after the date of opening of Escrow, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Agent the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) (the “Initial Deposit”) in good funds, either by certified bank or cashier’s check or by federal wire transfer. Seller and Buyer agree that One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (the “Independent Consideration”) of the Initial Deposit shall be immediately released to Seller, having been bargained for as consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and for Buyer’s right of review, inspection and termination, and agree that such amount is independent of any other consideration or payment provided for herein and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, is non-refundable in all events.

The Initial Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) and the Additional Deposit are referred to collectively herein as the “Deposit”).

All interest earned on the Deposit shall become a part of the Deposit and shall be deemed income of Buyer, and Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and fees imposed on the Deposit account. The Deposit shall be distributed in accordance with the terms hereof. The failure of Buyer to timely deliver the Initial Deposit or the Additional Deposit shall entitle Seller, at Seller’s sole option in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement immediately, and thereafter neither party shall have any liability to the other hereunder except for those provisions hereof which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. The Initial Deposit is refundable until the end of the Due Diligence Period, at which time it becomes non-refundable, except as specified otherwise herein. The Additional Deposit is non-refundable when made, except as specified otherwise herein. The Deposit shall be disbursed at the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement in accordance herewith.
Section 1.6    Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall hold and dispose of the Deposit in strict accordance with the terms hereof and any Additional Escrow Instructions. Seller and Buyer agree that the duties of Escrow Agent hereunder are purely ministerial in nature and shall be expressly limited to (i) the safekeeping and disposition of the Deposit in accordance herewith and any Additional Escrow Instructions, (ii) the consummation of the Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof and any Additional Escrow Instructions, and (iii) the performance of any other actions expressly and specifically made the responsibility of Escrow Agent hereunder or under any Additional Escrow Instructions. Escrow Agent shall incur no liability in connection with the safekeeping or disposition of the Deposit for any reason other than Escrow Agent’s willful misconduct or negligence. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any interest on the Deposit except as is actually earned, or for the loss of any interest resulting from the withdrawal of the Deposit (in accordance with the terms hereof and any Additional Escrow Instructions) prior to the date interest is posted thereon or for any loss caused by the failure, suspension, bankruptcy or dissolution of the institution in which the Deposit is deposited.
Section 1.7    Tax Reporting Person. For purposes of complying with Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), Escrow Agent is hereby designated as the “person responsible for closing the transaction,” and also as the “reporting person” for purposes of filing any information returns with the Internal Revenue Service concerning this transaction, as required by law. Escrow Agent shall promptly file all necessary information reports and returns regarding this transaction as required by the Code, including, without limitation, the returns required pursuant to Section 6045 of the Code.

ARTICLE II
TITLE AND SURVEY
Section 2.1    Title Review. Buyer acknowledges receipt prior to the Effective Date from Seller of each of (a) a title commitment (No. NCS-590857-LA2) dated April 11, 2013 issued by First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), covering the Real Property (as the same may have been updated prior to the Effective Date, the “Title Commitment”), together with copies of all documents referenced in the Title Commitment, and (b) an ALTA/ACSM survey dated April 16, 2013, prepared by RBF Consulting of the Real Property (as the same may have been updated by Buyer prior to the Effective Date, the “Survey”, and together with the Title Commitment and any documents constituting exceptions or restrictions referred to in the Title Report, collectively, the “Title Documents”). Buyer may approve or disapprove the Title Documents by delivering written notice to Seller within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) and, in the case of Buyer’s disapproval of the Title Documents, specifying each title defect or matter set forth therein for which Buyer is requesting a cure by Seller (“Title Defect”). Buyer’s failure to deliver Buyer’s Title Notice to Seller within the 5-Business Day period set forth above shall be a conclusive presumption that Buyer has approved the Title Documents. Within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those Title Defects which Seller covenants and agrees to either eliminate or cure to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction by the Closing Date. Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice to Buyer within the 5-Business Day period specified above shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to eliminate or cure any such Title Defect. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to eliminate or cure any Title Defects, Buyer shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller by the end of the Due Diligence Period, to either (i) proceed with the purchase and acquire the Property in accordance with this Agreement without adjustment or abatement of the Purchase Price, in which case the Title Defects and the Title Documents shall each thereupon be and be deemed to be approved by Buyer, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Initial Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) will be returned to Seller. Buyer’s failure to deliver any written notice by the end of the Due Diligence Period shall be a conclusive presumption that Buyer has approved the Title Documents.
Section 2.2    Permitted Exceptions. “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: except as expressly provided below, (A) all matters of record and/or set forth in any of the Title Documents which are reviewed and approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer pursuant to Section 2.1 above; (B) matters affecting title created by or with the consent of Buyer; (C) liens to secure general or special taxes and assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing; and (D) rights of tenants or occupants pursuant to the Leases; provided that Permitted Exceptions shall not include, and Seller shall remove (or cause to be removed) at Seller’s sole cost and expense on or prior to the Closing Date, any liens for monetary obligations voluntarily incurred by Seller (other than general or special assessments not yet due and payable as of the Closing ), including the existing mortgage loan (the “Existing Mortgage Loan”) and the documents related thereto encumbering the Real Property. All material loan documents relating to the Existing Mortgage Loan are listed on Schedule 2.2 attached hereto.

6



Section 2.3     Conveyance of Title. At the Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Buyer, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the Real Property, by execution and delivery of the Assignment and Assumption (as hereinafter defined) and the Grant Deed (as hereinafter defined). Evidence of delivery of the foregoing shall be the issuance by the Title Company, or another national title company acceptable to each of Seller and Buyer in their sole discretion, of an ALTA 2006 Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) covering the Real Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the Title Defect(s) which Seller has agreed to satisfy under Section 2.1 above.
Section 2.4    Owner Participation Agreement. At the Closing, those rights, options (including, without limitation, the options to purchase the Parking Facility set forth in Section 719) and obligations of Seller pertaining to the Real Property under that certain Second Amended and Restated Owner Participation Agreement dated as of December 1, 1985 by and between PCDC and Original Lessee, as modified by that certain First Implementation Agreement to Second Amended and Restated Owner Participation Agreement dated as of January 30, 1987 by and between PCDC and Original Lessee, that certain Second Implementation Agreement to Second Amended and Restated Owner Participation Agreement dated as of November 30, 1987 by and between PCDC and Original Lessee and that certain Third Implementation Agreement to Second Amended and Restated Owner Participation Agreement dated as of February 25, 1991 by and between PCDC and Original Lessee (as amended, the “OPA”) shall be assigned to and assumed by Buyer pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement in the form, if any, required by the OPA (the “OPA Partial Assignment”). Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, in no event shall the OPA Partial Assignment include an assignment to Buyer of any rights or obligations pertaining to the Hotel Airspace.
Section 2.5    Parking Agreements. As soon as reasonably practicable following the Closing, Seller shall utilize commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the City’s consent to the assignment by Maguire Properties-Plaza Las Fuentes Services, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Parking Manager”), of all of Parking Manager’s right, title and interest in and to that certain Amended and Restated Agreement for Management, Rental, Operation and Maintenance of Parking Facility, No. 13,054, dated as of November 30, 1987 for the Parking Facility (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement for Management, Rental, Operation and Maintenance of Parking Facility dated as of March 29, 1999 and as assigned, the “Parking Management Agreement”), with the City. Provided that the City’s consent to the assignment of the Parking Management Agreement is obtained, promptly following the City’s execution and delivery to Seller of a written instrument evidencing such consent, Seller shall cause Parking Manager to assign all of its right, title and interest in and to the Parking Management Agreement to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume all of Parking Manager’s obligations thereunder, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. No later than five (5) days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall deliver the proposed form of such assignment and assumption agreement to Buyer, for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer’s failure to approve or disapprove the proposed form of such assignment and assumption agreement by the end of the Due Diligence Period shall be and be deemed to be Buyer’s approval thereof. Substantially concurrently with such assignment and assumption of the Parking Management Agreement, Seller shall cause MPG Office, L.P., a Maryland limited

7



partnership, as Seller’s agent (“Manager”), to transfer all of its right, title and interest in and to that certain Parking Facility Operator Agreement with AMPCO, dated as of January 1, 2011 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Parking Facility Operator Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2012, the “AMPCO Subcontract”) to Buyer, and Buyer shall assume all of Manager’s obligations under the AMPCO Subcontract, pursuant to an assignment and assumption agreement prepared by Seller and approved by Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
ARTICLE III
INSPECTION OF PROPERTY; ACTIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING
Section 3.1    Access.
(a)    From and after the Effective Date until the first to occur of (i) the termination of this Agreement or (ii) the Closing, Buyer and its employees, agents, representatives, consultants and contractors (each a “Buyer Representative”) shall have reasonable access to the Property during regular business hours or such other times agreed upon by Seller for the sole purpose of making visual observations of the Property or any portion thereof (collectively, the “Observation Activities”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 3.1. All Observation Activities shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense and risk and neither Buyer nor any Buyer Representative may enter upon the Property for the purpose of conducting any Observation Activities or for any other reason without (i) having given Seller written notice of its intention to enter the Property at least two (2) Business Days before such entry and (b) Seller having obtained the permission of the relevant tenant(s) to such entry (to the extent required under the terms of any relevant lease encumbering the Property). Seller may, at its option, in its sole discretion, impose reasonable conditions and restrictions on Buyer’s and/or any Buyer Representative’s right to enter the Property and Buyer agrees to comply, and to cause each Buyer Representative to comply, with any such conditions and restrictions in exercising its rights hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller may, at its option, in its sole discretion, require that an employee or representative of Seller accompany Buyer and any Buyer Representative during any entry by Buyer and/or any Buyer Representative on the Property. In conducting or performing any Observation Activities, neither Buyer nor any Buyer Representative shall disrupt or disturb the ongoing operation of the Property or contact any occupants of the Property without first obtaining the written consent thereto of Seller, which consent may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, neither Buyer nor any Buyer Representative shall have the right to conduct (and neither shall conduct) any physically invasive inspections or tests of the Property or any portion thereof.
(b)    Before entering the Property, Buyer shall obtain and maintain, and shall cause each Buyer Representative to maintain (and shall deliver to Seller evidence thereof) at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the minimum amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per occurrence, such policy(ies) to name Seller as an additional insured party, which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal injury or property damage caused by Buyer and/or any Buyer Representative in connection with

any Observation Activities. Such policy(ies) must provide that the insurer waives any right of subrogation against Seller.
(c)    Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller and any officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner, member, principal, parent, subsidiary or other affiliate of Seller, as well as any officer, director, employee, trustee, shareholder, partner, member or principal of any such parent, subsidiary or other affiliate and the respective successors and assigns of each of the foregoing (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), from and against all claims, actions, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements), incurred, suffered by or claimed against Seller and/or any of the Seller Indemnitees by reason of any damage to the Property or injury to persons (including Buyer’s employees and any employees of any Buyer Representative) arising out of or in any way connected with Buyer’s and/or any Buyer Representative’s entry upon the Property and/or performance of any Observation Activities, except to the extent (i) caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any of the Seller Indemnitees or (ii) arising from or related to the discovery of a pre-existing condition (including environmental) with respect to the Property or any portion thereof (a “Pre-Existing Condition”) (whether or not such Pre-Existing Condition was first made known by Buyer’s or any Buyer Representative’s Observation Activities), unless Buyer’s or any Buyer’s Representative’s entry upon the Property or Observation Activities exacerbate or worsen any such Pre-Existing Condition. The provisions of this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing, as applicable.
Section 3.2    Diligence Matters. The “Due Diligence Period” means the period of time ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on May 28, 2013. Prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer or affiliates of Buyer and their respective agents will have had the right and opportunity to review and inspect all matters relating to the Property which Buyer determined to be relevant or necessary (collectively, the “Due Diligence Matters”), including, without limitation, (i) the visual inspection of the Real Property, including, without limitation, the environmental condition thereof and engineer’s and architect’s reports relating thereto, (ii) such documents, records, files and reports concerning the Property, including, without limitation, copies of the Leases, Operating Agreements, permits, licenses, certificates of occupancy, plans and specifications, surveys, property tax bills and reports concerning the environmental and physical condition of the Property and insurance certificates related to the Property (collectively, the “Property Documents”), and (iii) the legal status of the Property, including, without limitation, with respect to the compliance of the Property with applicable laws and those matters set forth on Schedule 5.1(f) attached hereto, in each case (i.e., with respect to clauses (i) through (iii) above) as deemed relevant or necessary by Buyer. Buyer also acknowledges that certain (if not all) Property Documents were made available via an online data site established for the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (the “Virtual Data Room”). Buyer further acknowledges and understands that all Property Documents made available by Seller were only for Buyer’s convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Effective Date as to whether it wished to enter into this Agreement for the purchase the Property, and, in so doing, Buyer will have relied exclusively upon its own independent investigation and evaluation of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller.
If, by the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer has disapproved any of the Due Diligence Matters and/or the physical, legal, environmental or economic condition of the

9



Property by providing Seller with written notice of such disapproval, this Agreement shall terminate without any liability on the part of either party except for any obligations on the part of Buyer that survive the termination of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer’s indemnity obligations under Section 3.1(c). In the event of such termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer. If by the end of the Due Diligence Period Buyer has not disapproved any of the Due Diligence Matters by providing Seller written notice of such disapproval, then there shall be a conclusive presumption that Buyer has approved the Due Diligence Matters.
Section 3.3    Environmental Reports. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER BY SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR CONSULTANTS WERE MADE AVAILABLE SOLELY AS AN ACCOMMODATION TO BUYER AND MAY NOT BE RELIED UPON BY BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, IT BEING UNDERSTOOD, HOWEVER, THAT TO THE EXTENT BUYER HAS OR MAY HEREINAFTER, AT ITS SOLE COST AND EXPENSE, RETAIN THE CONSULTANT(S) UNDER SUCH ENVIRONMENTAL REPORTS TO PROVIDE NEW REPORTS OR SUPPLEMENTS TO EXISTING REPORTS, SUCH NEW REPORTS OR SUPPLEMENTS SO OBTAINED BY BUYER MAY BE RELIED UPON BY BUYER IN CONNECTION WITH THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY. BUYER AGREES THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR OBLIGATION WHATSOEVER FOR ANY INACCURACY IN OR OMISSION FROM ANY ENVIRONMENTAL REPORT AND/OR ANY OF SUCH NEW REPORTS AND/OR SUPPLEMENTS. BUYER, UPON THE CLOSING, SHALL IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE AND BE DEEMED TO HAVE IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED, RELINQUISHED AND RELEASED SELLER AND ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, TRUSTEE, SHAREHOLDER, PARTNER, MEMBER, PRINCIPAL, PARENT, SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE OF SELLER, AS WELL AS ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, TRUSTEE, SHAREHOLDER, PARTNER, MEMBER OR PRINCIPAL OF ANY SUCH PARENT, SUBSIDIARY OR AFFILIATE AND THE RESPECTIVE SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING (COLLECTIVELY, THE “SELLER PARTIES”) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, ACTIONS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES, DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES, CHARGES AND DISBURSEMENTS) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH BUYER MIGHT HAVE ASSERTED OR ALLEGED AGAINST SELLER OR THE SELLER PARTIES AT ANY TIME BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY SUCH REPORTS, NEW REPORTS OR SUPPLEMENTS. IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ALL RIGHTS UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542, WHICH PROVIDES THAT:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
BUYER’S INITIALS: DL

BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER WILL HAVE CONDUCTED PRIOR TO THE END OF THE DUE DILIGENCE PERIOD, ITS OWN INVESTIGATION OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY TO THE EXTENT BUYER DEEMS SUCH AN INVESTIGATION TO BE NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE.
Section 3.4    Tenant Estoppels. Promptly after the end of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall request from each of the tenants under a Lease an estoppel certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit B attached hereto or, if such tenant’s Lease attaches or prescribes a form of, or content of, an estoppel certificate, Seller shall request from such tenant an estoppel certificate conforming thereto (collectively, “Tenant Estoppel Certificates”).
Section 3.5    Operating Agreements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, on or prior to 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time on May 22, 2013, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller identifying, in sufficient detail, each of the Operating Agreements set forth on Schedule 1.1(i) hereto (expressly excluding the Excluded Operating Agreements) that Buyer desires to assume at Closing (for the avoidance of doubt, Buyer shall irrevocably be deemed to have elected not to assume any Operating Agreement set forth on Schedule 1.1(i) hereto that is not identified in such notice). If Buyer fails to deliver such written notice to Seller on or prior to May 21, 2013, Buyer shall irrevocably be deemed to have elected not to assume any of the Operating Agreements set forth on Schedule 1.1(i) hereto. Except for the Parking Management Agreement and the AMPCO Subcontract, which are separately dealt with at Section 2.5 above, Seller (a) shall terminate all Operating Agreements (a) between Seller and Seller’s property manager and leasing agent with respect to the Property, (b) between Seller and an affiliate of Seller, and (c) which Buyer elects not to assume in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (b) shall terminate, with respect to the Property only, all Operating Agreements which relate to one or more properties in addition to the Property, in each case effective as of the Closing.

In no event shall Buyer be liable to Seller for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of, any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 5.5 which results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and is expressly permitted under the terms hereof, or (ii) occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to prevent; provided, however, that the occurrence of a change which is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to prevent shall, if materially adverse to Seller, constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.9(c).

Section 4.4    Actions by Escrow Agent. Provided that Escrow Agent shall not have received written notice from Buyer or Seller of the failure of any condition to the Closing or of the termination of the Escrow and this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof, on the Closing Date, when Escrow Agent shall have confirmed that Buyer and Seller have deposited into Escrow the documents and funds required hereby and the Title Company is irrevocably and unconditionally committed to issue the Title Policy in accordance with the terms hereof, Escrow Agent shall, in the order and manner herein below indicated, take the following actions:

(iii)    pursuant to a payoff or other demand statement to be obtained by Seller from the lender or servicer (the “Existing Mezzanine Lender”) under a mezzanine loan made to the owner of the sole membership interest in Seller and not secured by a lien or interest in the Property (the “Existing Mezzanine Loan”) and delivered to Escrow Agent prior to the Closing, disburse to the Existing Mezzanine Lender the amount required to fully satisfy the outstanding balance of the Existing Mezzanine Loan;
(iv)    pursuant to the Closing Statement, disburse to Seller an amount equal to the Purchase Price, (A) less or plus the net debit or credit to Seller by reason of the adjustments, prorations and allocations of Closing Costs provided for herein and (B) less the amounts to respectively be paid to the Existing Mortgage Lender pursuant to clause (ii) above and to the Existing Mezzanine Lender pursuant to clause (iii) above;

Section 4.5    Credits and Prorations.

15



(a)    Except as set forth in Section 4.5(b) below, all income and expenses of the Property shall be apportioned as of 12:01 a.m., on the Closing Date, as if Buyer were vested with title to the Property during the entire day upon which the Closing occurs. Subject to the provisions of this Section 4.5, such prorated items shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) all Rents; (ii) taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes on the Personal Property) levied against the Property; (iii) utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at the Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to the Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing Date) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current bill for each such utility; (iv) all amounts payable under brokerage agreements and Assigned Contracts, pursuant to the terms hereof; and (v) any and all other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a purchaser and a seller in Los Angeles County, California.  
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 4.5(a):
(i)    At the Closing, (A) the amount of any Security Deposits actually held by Seller pursuant to the Leases shall be credited to the account of Buyer (to the extent such Security Deposits have not theretofore been applied against delinquent Rents or otherwise as provided in the Leases), and (B) the amount of all refundable cash or other deposits posted with utility companies serving the Property, shall be credited to the account of Seller. If Seller is the beneficiary under any letters of credit held by Seller as a tenant security deposit, then Seller and Buyer shall cooperate to cause such letters of credit to be transferred to Buyer at the Closing or, if unable to accomplish by the Closing Date, as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. Buyer shall bear all costs and expenses required to transfer any such letters of credit (other than Seller’s own internal costs and expenses and the costs and expenses of Seller’s counsel). Buyer and Seller agree that the transfer to Buyer of any such letters of credit held by Seller shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed with the Closing.
(ii)    Any taxes paid at or prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated based upon the amounts actually paid. If taxes and assessments due and payable during the year in which the Closing Date occurs have not been paid before the Closing, Seller shall be charged at the Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments which relates to the period before the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay the taxes and assessments prior to their becoming delinquent. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at the Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after such amounts are determined following the Closing, subject to the provisions of Section 4.5(d).
(iii)    Charges and expenses referred to in Section 4.5(a) which are payable by any tenant to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Buyer shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Buyer shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of the same. If Seller shall have paid any of such charges on behalf of any tenant, and shall not have been reimbursed therefor prior to the

16



Closing Date, Seller shall receive a credit equal to the amount of all such charges so paid by Seller.
(iv)    As to utility charges referred to in Section 4.5(a)(iii), Seller may, upon notice to Buyer, elect to pay any or all of said items accrued prior to the Closing Date directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item(s) shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item(s) directly in such case shall survive the Closing.
(v)    Upon the Closing, Seller shall be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Improvement Costs (as such term is hereinafter defined) set forth on Schedule 4.5(b)(v). Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of all other Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions, including, without limitation, all Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions which become due and payable (whether before or after the Closing Date) as a result of any new Leases, or any renewals, extensions, amendments or expansions of existing Leases (whether or not entered into pursuant to an option), arising, signed or entered into from and after the Effective Date, including but not limited to Commissions that become payable after the termination of a brokerage agreement referred to in Section 5.1(d) in accordance with the terms of such an agreement.
(vi)    If, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or Commissions for which Buyer is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or if, as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have paid any attorneys’ fees, charges or disbursements incurred in connection with the drafting or the negotiation, or both, of any new Leases entered into after the Effective Date, Buyer shall reimburse Seller therefor at the Closing. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller has not paid all Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions set forth on Schedule 4.5(b)(v), Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for the amount of all such unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions set forth on Schedule 4.5(b)(v). Following the Closing, Buyer shall assume and be responsible for the payment of all Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions (including those for which Buyer received a credit pursuant to the preceding sentence) and Seller shall assign to Buyer all construction and other contracts relating to such outstanding Tenant Inducement Costs, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller with respect to any claims relating to the failure to satisfy such outstanding Tenant Inducement Costs and Commissions. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Improvement Costs” shall mean any and all out of pocket payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder for tenant improvements. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any and all out of pocket payments required under a Lease to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, Tenant Improvement Costs, lease buyout or takeover costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances. The term Tenant Inducement Costs shall not include loss of income resulting from any free or reduced rental period, it being agreed that Seller shall bear the loss resulting from any free or reduced rental period until the Closing Date and that Buyer shall bear the loss resulting from any free or reduced rental period from and after the Closing Date. For purposes hereof, the term “Commissions” shall mean any

17



and all leasing commissions and finder’s fees (including commissions payable to employees of any affiliate of Seller) that are payable in connection with any Lease.
(vii)    Unpaid and delinquent Rent collected by Seller and/or Buyer after the Closing Date shall be applied as follows: (A) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Buyer any such Rent which Buyer is entitled to hereunder relating to the period from and after the Closing Date; and (B) if Buyer collects any unpaid or delinquent Rent from the Property, Buyer shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such Rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the Closing Date. Seller and Buyer agree that all Rent received by Seller or Buyer after the Closing Date shall be applied first to Rent for the month in which the Closing occurs, then to Rent which accrues for the month after the month in which the Closing occurs, and then to delinquent Rent, if any, in the inverse order of delinquency. To and until the Proration Cutoff Date (as hereinafter defined), Buyer will make a good faith effort to collect all Rents in the usual course of Buyer’s operation of the Property, but Buyer will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent Rents. Seller may attempt to collect any delinquent Rents owed Seller and may institute any lawsuit or collection procedures, but may not evict any tenant or seek to interfere with its occupancy of the Improvements after the Closing Date. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, is currently collecting from tenants additional rent to cover taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses incurred by Seller in connection with the ownership, operation, maintenance and management of the Property (such expenses, collectively “Additional Rent Expenses” and such collections, collectively “Collections”). Non-delinquent Collections received for the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated in the same manner as other Rents are required to be prorated hereunder. Subsequent to the Closing, but no later than thirty (30) days following the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer its general ledger of Additional Rent Expenses for the Property for the period from January 1, 2013 to the Closing Date. Subsequent to the Closing, but no later than the Proration Cutoff Date, Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a calculation of the Collections received and Additional Rent Expenses incurred by Seller, before the Closing, and Buyer, after the Closing. To the extent that Seller shall have incurred Additional Rent Expenses prior to the Closing that are either in excess of or less than the Collections it received, the appropriate adjusting payment between Buyer and Seller shall be reflected in the final proration statement pursuant to Section 4.5(d).
(c)    Seller may, at its sole expense, prosecute appeals (if any) of the real property tax assessment for any tax years prior to the Closing, and may take related action which Seller deems appropriate in connection therewith. Buyer shall reasonably cooperate with Seller in connection with such appeal and collection of a refund of real property taxes paid, provided that Buyer shall incur no material cost or expense in connection therewith. Seller owns and holds all right, title and interest in and to such appeal and refund, and all amounts payable in connection therewith shall be paid directly to Seller by the applicable authorities. If such refund or any part thereof is received by Buyer, Buyer shall promptly pay such amount to Seller. Any refund received by Seller shall be distributed as follows: first, to reimburse Seller for all costs incurred in connection with the appeal; second, with respect to refunds payable to tenants of the

18



Real Property pursuant to the Leases, to such tenants in accordance with the terms of such Leases; and third, to Seller to the extent such appeal covers the period prior to the Closing Date, and to Buyer to the extent such appeal covers the period from and after the Closing Date. If and to the extent any such appeal covers any period from and after the Closing Date, Buyer shall have the right to participate in such appeal.
(d)    Any revenue or expense amount which cannot be ascertained with certainty as of the Closing Date shall be prorated on the basis of the parties’ reasonable estimates of such amount, and shall be the subject of a final proration within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date (the “Proration Cut-Off Date”). Any reconciliation of revenue or expense amounts relating to Leases (including a reconciliation of Additional Rent Expenses) which needs to be made in connection with this Section 4.5 shall be prepared by Buyer and submitted to Seller for Seller’s review and approval. To the extent that the exact amount of any revenue or expense cannot be determined as of the Proration Cut-Off Date, the parties shall nevertheless prorate such amounts in good faith based upon the best information available to the parties. In connection therewith, on or before the Proration Cut-Off Date, Buyer shall prepare, and certify as correct (or to the extent any amount cannot be ascertained with certainty, Buyer shall specify which amount could not be so ascertained and that the prorated amount therefor has been determined in good faith based upon the best information available to Buyer), a final proration statement which shall be in a form consistent with the Closing Statement delivered at the Closing and which shall be subject to Seller’s review and approval. Upon Seller’s acceptance and approval of such final proration statement submitted by Buyer, such statement shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final, and any payment due to any party as a result of such final pro-rations shall be made within thirty (30) days following such approval by Seller.
(e)    Buyer agrees that, at or promptly following the Closing, it shall cause all accounts for utility services to the Property to be transferred to Buyer’s name, and Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with such transfer(s), at no cost to Seller.
(f)    Subject to the final sentence of Section 4.5(d), the provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive the Closing.
Section 4.6    Closing Statement. Seller and Buyer shall work together cooperatively to prepare and deliver a draft pro-ration statement to Escrow Agent no later than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Thereafter, Escrow Agent shall prepare (with the assistance of Seller and Buyer) and, no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, deliver to each of the parties for their review and approval a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) setting forth: (a) the proration amounts allocable to each of the parties pursuant to Section 4.5; and (b) the Closing Costs allocable to each of the parties pursuant to Section 4.7. Based on each of the party’s comments, if any, regarding the Preliminary Closing Statement, Escrow Agent shall revise the Preliminary Closing Statement and deliver a final version of a closing statement, signed by Buyer and Seller, to each of the parties at the Closing (the “Closing Statement”). In the event that any amount set forth in the Closing Statement is disputed in good faith by either of the parties hereto (the “Proration Disputed Amount”), and such Proration Disputed Amount is not resolved before the Closing, such dispute shall not delay or prevent the Closing, and an amount equal to such Proration Disputed Amount shall be held back from the payment of the Purchase Price at the Closing, and

19



the parties shall reasonably cooperate to make the appropriate adjustments after the Closing as soon as reasonably practicable with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer’s or Seller’s execution and delivery to Escrow Agent of its counterpart signature page to the Closing Statement shall not revoke or be deemed to revoke any good faith dispute relating to a Proration Disputed Amount.

21



period, Buyer shall have the rights set forth in Section 4.10(b).

In the event that Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement shall terminate without any further obligation by either party (except for those provisions which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.

(i)    waive such closing condition(s) and close Escrow in accordance herewith, without adjustment or abatement of the Purchase Price; or
(ii)    terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which event (x) Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer and all other documents, instruments and funds delivered into Escrow shall be returned to the party that delivered the same into Escrow, (y) Seller shall (except as otherwise provided herein) pay for all of the cancellation charges of Title Company and Escrow Agent, if any, and (z) neither party hereto shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (except for any obligations that by their terms expressly survive the termination hereof).
(c)    Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, if any of Seller’s closing conditions set forth in Section 4.9 have not been fulfilled within the applicable time periods, Seller may:

(ii)    terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer and Escrow Agent, in which event (x) Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit to the party entitled thereto pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and all other documents, instruments and funds delivered into Escrow shall be returned to the party that delivered the same into Escrow, (y) Buyer shall pay for all of the cancellation charges of Title Company and Escrow Agent, if any, and (z) neither party hereto shall have any further rights or

22



obligations hereunder (except for any obligations that by their terms expressly survive the termination hereof).

(ii)    A copy of any proposed termination, amendment, renewal, extension or expansion of an existing Lease or Operating Agreement or of any proposed new Lease or Operating Agreement which Seller intends to execute between the Effective Date and the end of the Due Diligence Period will be delivered to Buyer for informational purposes only prior to execution by Seller; provided, however, that with respect to any Lease renewal, extension or expansion which occurs or is made at the tenant’s option pursuant to the terms of an existing Lease, Seller shall not be required to deliver a copy thereof prior to execution by Seller, but Seller shall deliver a copy thereof promptly following such execution, and Seller shall notify Buyer of Tenant’s election prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period. After the end of the Due Diligence Period, Seller will not enter into any new Lease or Operating Agreement (excluding Leases and/or Operating Agreements that relate to Seller’s period of ownership and will expire by their respective terms and/or otherwise be terminated prior to Closing) without the prior written consent of Buyer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Seller will promptly notify Buyer if any Tenant exercises any renewal or expansion option pursuant to an existing Lease. Buyer acknowledges that a copy of that certain License Agreement, made and entered into as of May __, 2013, by and between Maguire Partners - Plaza Las Fuentes, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as “Licensor”, and East West Bank, a California corporation, as “Licensee” (the “EWB License”) was delivered to or made available to Buyer prior to the date hereof and that Buyer has reviewed the terms of the EWB License.

26



having to first provide notice to Buyer, provided that Seller shall provide notice thereof to Buyer as soon as practicable thereafter.
(b)    Limitation on Liability for Breach of Seller’s Covenants. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Buyer consummates the Closing, Seller shall have no liability hereunder for the breach by Seller of any covenant to be performed by Seller hereunder prior to the Closing known to Buyer or any agent or affiliate of Buyer as of the Closing Date.

The person signing this Agreement on behalf of Buyer is authorized to do so.
(b)    Validity of Agreements.

(c)    Pending Actions. Buyer has not received written notice of any action, suit, proceeding, judgment, order, decree or government investigation (and to Buyer’s knowledge none of the foregoing are threatened) against Buyer or relating specifically to Buyer which remain outstanding and which, if adversely determined, would (individually or in the aggregate) materially adversely affect the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby or Buyer’s ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no claim by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any

27



representation, warranty or covenant for which Seller otherwise has liability hereunder or under any of the Other Documents, may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, (i) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such claim shall have been given by Buyer to Seller within 4 months following the Closing Date and an action shall have been commenced by Buyer against Seller within 9 months following the Closing Date, and (ii) unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any such representation, warranty or covenant, is for an aggregate amount in excess of Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($75,000.00) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event the liability of Seller respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the Cap Amount set forth above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Seller shall not have liability with respect thereto. The Floor Amount shall not apply with respect to (A) any of the proration payments to be made after the Closing pursuant to Article IV, or (B) Seller’s obligations under Section 4.7, Article VII and Section 9.19. Except as expressly provided herein regarding the remedy of specific performance, the liability of Seller to Buyer for any and all breaches by Seller of any or all representations, warranties and covenants set forth herein shall be limited to actual damages (Buyer hereby waiving and relinquishing all right to seek other damages, whether punitive, consequential, or otherwise). Without waiving Buyer’s right to make claims within the time period set forth in this Section 5.7, Buyer agrees to first seek recovery under any insurance policies, service contracts and Leases prior to seeking recovery from Seller, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer if Buyer’s claim is satisfied from such insurance policies, service contracts or Leases.
ARTICLE VI

IN THE EVENT THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT, THE DEPOSIT (INCLUDING ALL INTEREST EARNED FROM THE INVESTMENT THEREOF) SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT THAT THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE.

Section 6.2    Default by Seller. In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to any default by Seller hereunder, Buyer shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the Deposit (together with all interest earned thereon), which return shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller from any and all liability hereunder, or (b) to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property to Buyer in accordance with the terms hereof, it being understood and agreed that the remedy of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation of Seller hereunder. Buyer expressly and irrevocably waives and agrees not to claim or assert any rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default hereunder.

Section 6.3    Recoverable Damages. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in no event shall the provisions of Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 limit the damages recoverable by either party against the other party due to the other party’s obligation to indemnify such party in accordance herewith or third party claims.
