On March 1, 2011, American Assets Trust, Inc. (the “Company”), through the Company’s operating partnership subsidiary, American Assets Trust, L.P., entered into a purchase agreement with an unrelated third party, Two Main Development LLC, to acquire a 364,735 square foot, 16-story, LEED Platinum certified office building located at 100 SW Main Street, in Portland, Oregon (“First & Main”).

The purchase price for First & Main, excluding closing costs, is approximately $129 million, which the Company will fund from proceeds of the Company’s initial public offering. Based upon information provided by the seller, the Company believes that, upon closing, approximately 96% of the total rentable square feet will be leased. Major tenants include the U.S. Veterans Benefit Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, Portland Energy Conservation, Inc. and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.

The acquisition is subject to the Company’s due diligence and other customary closing conditions. The Company can offer no assurances that this acquisition will close on the terms described herein, or at all. Additionally, the transaction is being structured to accommodate a possible tax deferred exchange pursuant to the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and applicable state revenue and taxation code sections.

The foregoing description of the property acquisition does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the purchase agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.

On March 3, 2011, the Company issued a press release announcing the agreement to purchase First & Main. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information contained in Item 7.01 of this Current Report, including Exhibit 99.1, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for any purposes, including for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.

The information provided in this summary of certain terms is provided as a convenience only. In the event of any conflict between any information contained herein and the Agreement, the Agreement shall control.

THIS PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”), is entered into as of March 1, 2011, by and between TWO MAIN DEVELOPMENT LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”), and AMERICAN ASSETS TRUST, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (“Buyer”).

In consideration of the covenants in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

1.1 The Property. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, in accordance with this Agreement, the following property (collectively, the “Property”):

(a) That certain real property commonly known as First and Main located at 100 SW Main Street, and all entitlements, rights-of-way, easements and similar interest benefiting such real property (collectively, the “Real Property”), as more particularly described in preliminary report No. 472511488291TO-CTORM dated as of February 4, 2011 issued by Chicago Title Company and attached hereto as Schedule 1 and incorporated herein by reference (the “Preliminary Report”).

(b) Seller’s interest in all leases, lease amendments, lease guaranties, work letter agreements, improvement agreements, subleases, assignments, licenses, concessions and other agreements (the “Leases”) with all persons (“Tenants”) leasing, using or occupying the Property, including the Leases described on Schedule 2 attached hereto.

(c) Except for those items described on Schedule 3 attached hereto, all tangible and intangible personal property owned by Seller, located on or in the Real Property and used in connection with the operation and maintenance of the Property (the “Personal Property”).

(d) Seller’s interest in all construction contracts and agreements described in Schedule 4 attached hereto and all warranties and guaranties relating the Property (to the extent assignable)(the “Construction Contracts and Warranties”).

(e) Seller’s interest in all service contracts and agreements described in Schedule 5 attached hereto (the “Service Contracts”) that are approved pursuant to section 1.2(h).

(f) All building permits, certificates of occupancy, and other certificates, permits, licenses and approvals (the “Permits”) pertaining to the Real Property; provided, however, that Buyer shall be responsible for any expense incurred in connection with the transfer of such Permits.

(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to 5 p.m., Pacific standard time, on March 4, 2011 (the “Property Approval Period”), Buyer shall in accordance with this section 1.2, in good faith and with diligence, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, review and investigate the physical and environmental condition of the Property, the character, quality and general utility of the Property, the zoning, land use, environmental and building requirements and restrictions applicable to the Property, the state of title to the Property, the Leases, the Construction Contracts and Warranties, the Service Contracts and the Permits. Buyer shall be responsible for preparing and paying the cost of any amendment or update to the survey of the Property dated January 14, 2008 prepared by MacKay & Sposito, Inc. (such existing survey, the “Survey”) that may be required by Buyer or its lender. Buyer shall determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Buyer within the Property Approval Period. If, during the Property Approval Period, Buyer determines that the Property is not acceptable, Buyer shall have the right, by giving written notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Property Approval Period, to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer exercises the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such termination notice is given by Buyer, in which event the Initial Deposit (defined below) shall be retained by Seller. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this section 1.2.

(b) During the Property Approval Period, Seller shall make available to Buyer at the Property the following items (collectively, the “Diligence Documents”):

(i) all plans and specifications for the Property, logs and manuals for building equipment, if any, and governmental reports that Seller has in Seller’s possession or control, without request to or investigation of third parties, and permit Buyer to examine the structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, roof, foundation, soils and environmental condition of the Real Property. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has made available to Buyer, prior to the date hereof, the materials described in Schedule 6 attached hereto.

(ii) copies of all the Leases, all the Construction Contracts and Warranties, all Service Contracts and all tenant and correspondence files relating to the foregoing.

(iii) all of Seller’s books and records relating to the operation of the Property including, without limitation, the following documents that Seller has in its possession or control:

(A) copies of all certificates of occupancy, licenses, permits, authorizations, and approvals issued by all governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Property and copies of all certificates issued by the local board of fire underwriters (or other body exercising similar functions);

(B) copies of each bill for current real estate, personal property and possessory interest taxes, water charges and other utilities; and

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not be required to provide, copy or make available to Buyer (and the Diligence Documents do not include) any internal memoranda, appraisals and valuation reports and similar information or information covered by the attorney-client privilege. Buyer acknowledges that the materials relating to the Property to be furnished by Seller to Buyer contain confidential and proprietary information. Buyer agrees to keep all such information confidential and not to disclose any such information to any third party except to the extent necessary to carry out the responsibilities of Buyer pursuant to this section 1.2 or to obtain financing for the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall also have the right to disclose or publically file such confidential information (including this Agreement and its exhibits/schedules) as shall be required to comply with any governmental or legal requirements applicable to Buyer or as shall be necessary to Buyer’s prosecution of its rights and remedies under this Agreement. If Buyer exercises the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, Buyer shall, within five (5) days after the termination date, return to Seller all copies of all materials relating to the Property theretofore furnished by Seller. No representation or warranty in respect of any documents, reports, studies, information or other materials (including the accuracy or completeness thereof) are or shall be deemed to be made or provided by Seller relating thereto or to the Property or otherwise, and Buyer hereby acknowledges that no representations or warranties, either express or implied, were made by Seller (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the documents and instruments executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement) with respect to any of the foregoing. To the extent any person or entity, other than Seller as expressly set forth herein, including any surveyors, appraisers, title agents, tenants, escrow agent, attorneys, engineering consultants or environmental consultants, made any representations or warranties (other than as expressly set forth in section 5.1) or any other statements (verbal or written) to Buyer, or provided any documents, reports, studies, information or other materials, Buyer acknowledges it shall have no claim or right of action against Seller arising therefrom, nor any right to rescind or revoke this Agreement on account thereof.

(d) Buyer shall indemnify Seller and Seller Parties (defined below) for, defend Seller and Seller Parties against, and hold Seller and Seller Parties harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from any entry on the Property by Buyer or any of Buyer’s representatives. The foregoing indemnification covenant shall survive any termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Seller’s default and Seller, at Seller’s option, requests any reports relating to the Property provided to Buyer by third parties (the “Buyer Reports”), Buyer shall deliver the Buyer Reports to Seller; provided, however, such delivery shall be without representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of any such Buyer Reports, and Seller acknowledges that Seller (and anyone to whom Seller provides such Buyer Reports) shall have no claim or right of action against Buyer arising therefrom. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be required to provide, copy or make available to Seller any internal memoranda, appraisals and valuation reports and similar information or information covered by the attorney-client privilege.

(e) Buyer shall maintain, and shall ensure that its contractors, agents and third parties under its control maintain, public liability and property damage insurance from a licensed insurance company insuring Buyer and its representatives against any liability arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof. Such insurance maintained by Buyer (and Buyer’s agents) shall be in the amount of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) combined single limit for injury to or death of one or more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including loss of use) in an occurrence. Any policy maintained by Buyer (and Buyer’s agents) shall (i) insure the contractual liability of Buyer covering Seller, (ii) name the Seller (and its successors and assigns), Shorenstein Properties LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Shorenstein Realty Services, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“SRS”), as additional insureds, (iii) contain a cross-liability provision, (iv) contain a provision that the insurance provided by Buyer hereunder shall be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to such Seller, and (v) be in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer and its agents arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions of this section 1.2. Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry or inspection of the Property.

(f) Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the Property Approval Date (the “Title Objection Date”), may object to any title exception in the Preliminary Report or any matter shown on the Survey or any matter shown on any update to the Survey or new survey. Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is two (2) business days after the discovery thereof, may object to any title exception in any update to the Preliminary Report. Buyer shall be deemed to have approved title to the Property as shown in the Preliminary Report, as updated and the Survey, or any updates or new surveys, unless Buyer objects to any title exception or survey matter in accordance with this section 1.2. If Buyer makes any such objection, Seller may, by giving notice to Buyer on or before the date that is three (3) business days after Buyer’s objection notice, elect either to remove such objections (or insure over such objections if reasonably acceptable to Buyer) or not to remove such objections. Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove any such objection (or insure over such objection) unless Seller elects to remove or insure over any such objection in accordance with this section 1.2. If Seller elects to remove or insure over any such objection, Seller shall remove or insure over the title exception or survey matter in question on or before the Closing Date (defined below). If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove or insure over any such objection, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is five (5) business days after Seller’s election not to cure (or deemed election not to cure), either to terminate this Agreement (in which case the Initial Deposit (as defined below) shall be retained by Seller) or to withdraw such objection and accept title to the Property subject to the title exception or survey matter in question. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved title to the Property subject to the title exception or survey matter in question and to have withdrawn such objection. If Seller requires additional time to remove or insure over a title exception identified by Buyer, the Closing Date shall be postponed for up to thirty (30) days as Seller may deem necessary to remove such title exception.

(g) Seller hereby grants Buyer the right to enter onto/into the Real Property for purposes relating to Buyer’s activities under this section 1.2; which right shall be subject to the requirements of this section 1.2 and shall continue until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any and all inspections of the Property shall be conducted in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to tenants or to the operation of the Property. With respect to meetings with tenants and subtenants, Seller agrees to permit Buyer to meet with tenants of the Property; provided, however, that Buyer must provide Seller with written notice of such proposed meeting (which shall be arranged by Seller) at least two (2) business days prior thereto, and also provided that a representative of Seller, at Seller’s election, is available for and is present at such meeting. Except as expressly set forth above, neither Buyer nor any of the Buyer’s representatives shall contact tenants of the Property or make any inquiries of tenants of the Property. Seller shall make available to Buyer Seller’s employees, representatives, contractors, building engineers, leasing agents and property managers (and their employees) at times and frequencies reasonably sufficient to allow Buyer to conduct its due diligence prior to the end of the Property Approval Period. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any due diligence investigations conducted by Buyer at the Property. In the event Buyer or any of Buyer’s representatives desire to conduct any physically intrusive due diligence, such as sampling of soils, inspection of building materials, roof inspections, drilling wells or the like, Buyer shall identify in writing exactly what procedures such party desires to perform and the identity of the contractor or consultant which will perform such work and request Seller’s express prior written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Upon receipt of Seller’s written consent, Buyer and/or Buyer’s representatives, as applicable, shall perform any and all due diligence strictly in compliance with the agreed upon procedures and with any and all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits and licenses applicable to the Property.

(h) On or before the expiration of the Property Approval Period, Buyer shall have the right to disapprove, by written notice to Seller, any of the Service Contracts that are not terminable without penalty or fee upon no more than thirty (30) days prior notice. If Buyer desires to have any Service Contract terminated that is not expressly terminable upon no more than thirty (30) days notice without penalty or fee (each a “Non-Terminable Service Contract”), then Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any such Non-Terminable Service Contract that it desires to have terminated. If Buyer notifies Seller that desires to terminate a Non-Terminable Service Contract and Seller responds in writing that Seller will not terminate such Non-Terminable Service Contract, then Buyer’s sole remedy will be to terminate this Agreement. All of the Service Contracts which are either terminable on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice without penalty or fee, or which are not disapproved by Buyer, or with respect to which Buyer’s initial disapproval is waived or deemed to be waived hereunder by virtue of Buyer’s failure to disapprove a Service Contract prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, are referred to as the “Approved Service Contracts.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall be required to assume Seller’s obligations, if any, for leasing commissions due to outside brokers: (1) for tenants already installed who exercise renewal or expansion options under their leases after the date of this Agreement and (2) for leases under negotiation prior to the Closing and disclosed to Buyer on Schedule 9 (including any commissions due to SRS described on such schedule), or otherwise disclosed in writing to Buyer pursuant to section 6.1, and which are executed within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing.

2.1 Amount and Payment. The total purchase price for the Property (the “Purchase Price”) shall be One Hundred Twenty Nine Million Four Hundred Thirty Four Thousand Two Hundred Twenty Four Dollars ($129,434,224). At the Closing on the Closing Date, Buyer shall pay the total purchase price for the Property to Seller in cash in immediately available funds, subject to adjustments as provided in section 8.4.

2.2 Deposit. Upon execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Initial Deposit”) in cash in immediately available funds in escrow with Chicago Title Insurance Company, 455 Market Street, Suite 2100, San Francisco, California 94105, Attention: Terina Kung, phone: (415) 291-5128, fax: (415) 896-9423 (the “Title Company”). The Initial Deposit shall be nonrefundable to Buyer and shall be released to Seller in the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with section 1.2. Buyer’s failure to deposit the Initial Deposit in escrow in a timely manner shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement and Buyer shall be liable for the amount of the Initial Deposit as liquidated damages for such breach. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with section 1.2 hereof, Buyer shall, on or before the last day of the Property Approval Period, deposit the additional sum of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Additional Deposit”) in cash in immediately available funds in escrow with the Title Company. The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit together with all interest earned thereon shall collectively be referred to as the “Deposit.” The Deposit shall be held by the Title Company in an interest-bearing account designated in writing by Buyer and approved in writing by Seller. If Seller and Buyer complete the purchase and sale of the Property in accordance with this Agreement, the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be applied to payment of the total purchase price for the Property in accordance with section 2.1 hereof. If Buyer exercises the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with section 1.2 hereof, or if the purchase and sale of the Property is not completed and this Agreement terminates for any reason other than a material default by Buyer under or a material breach by Buyer of this Agreement, then (i) the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer upon such termination of this Agreement and (ii) if requested by Seller, Buyer shall provide Seller with original and copies of all studies, tests, reports and other documents or materials relating to the Property prepared, conducted or made by, for or on behalf of Buyer in accordance with section 1.2.

2.3 Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT BECAUSE BUYER DEFAULTS UNDER OR BREACHES THIS AGREEMENT AND FAILS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT OR BREACH WITHIN ONE BUSINESS DAY OF WRITTEN NOTICE, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND UPON TERMINATION THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN THE CASE OF SUCH A DEFAULT OR BREACH BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGE THAT SELLER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER. THEREFORE,

BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IF BUYER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT. THE PAYMENT OF THIS AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. SELLER AND BUYER HAVE MADE THIS PROVISION FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES BECAUSE IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO CALCULATE, ON THE DATE HEREOF, THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL DAMAGES FOR SUCH BREACH, AND THESE SUMS REPRESENT REASONABLE COMPENSATION TO SELLER FOR SUCH BREACH.

2.4 Seller Default. Seller and Buyer agree that, if the purchase and sale of the Property is not completed in accordance with this Agreement because Seller materially defaults under or materially breaches this Agreement, Buyer shall be entitled, as Buyer’s sole remedy to either (i) terminate this Agreement and upon termination the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the actual, documented third-party costs incurred by Buyer in connection with this transaction, but not in excess of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or (ii) demand and have specific performance of this Agreement (provided, however, if the remedy of specific performance is unavailable due solely to the fact that the Property has been sold by Seller to a bona fide purchaser, then Buyer shall be entitled to bring an action against Seller for damages). Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit if Buyer fails to file suit for specific performance against Seller in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or before the date which is thirty (30) days following the date upon which Closing was to have occurred. Buyer waives any right to record a lis pendens on the Property.

3.1 Place and Date. The purchase and sale of the Property shall be completed in accordance with Article 8 hereof (the “Closing”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Closing shall occur through Escrow No. 160310130 with the Title Company on March 11, 2011 (the “Closing Date”). Prior to the Closing Date, Seller and Buyer each shall give appropriate written escrow instructions, consistent with this Agreement, to the Title Company for the Closing in accordance with this Agreement and upon giving such instructions such party need not be physically present at the Closing. Seller shall have the right to extend the Closing Date for an additional thirty (30) days in order to obtain Tenant Estoppel Certificates executed by Tenants in order to satisfy the Minimum Estoppel Requirement set forth in Section 7.2(d).

4.1 Title to the Property. Seller shall convey to Buyer fee title to the Real Property, by a duly executed and acknowledged statutory special warranty deed (the “Deed”) in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, free and clear of all monetary liens (including, without limitation, all deeds of trust and mechanics’ liens), encumbrances, leases, easements, restrictions, rights, covenants and conditions, except the following (the “Permitted Exceptions”): (a) the matters shown as exceptions in the Preliminary Report, or any updates thereto and approved (or deemed to be approved) by Buyer pursuant to section 1.2 hereof; (b) the Leases; (c) matters which would be shown by a correct survey of the Property or a physical inspection of the Property to the extent not disapproved by Buyer (and agreed to be cured or insured over by Seller) pursuant to section 1.2 hereof; (d) taxes and assessments which are not past due as of the Closing Date; and (e) any other matters created, permitted or approved by Buyer.

4.2 Leases. Seller shall assign good title to Seller’s interest in the Leases to Buyer and Buyer shall assume said Leases, by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption of Leases (the “Assignment of Leases”) in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto.

4.3 Personal Property. Seller shall transfer all of Seller’s title to the Personal Property to Buyer, by a duly executed Bill of Sale (the “Bill of Sale”) in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto without warranty or covenant.

4.4 Contracts. Seller shall assign all of Seller’s interest in the Construction Contracts and Warranties and all of Seller’s interest in the Approved Service Contracts (collectively, the “Contracts”) to Buyer and Buyer shall assume the Contracts, by a duly executed Assignment and Assumption of Contracts (the “Assignment of Contracts”) in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto.

4.5 Permits. Seller shall assign all of Seller’s interest in the Permits to Buyer, by a duly executed Assignment of Permits (the “Assignment of Permits”) in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto without warranty or covenant.

4.6 Acceptance of Title. Buyer’s acceptance of the Deed from Seller for the Real Property at the Closing on the Closing Date and the issuance of the Title Policy (defined below) or a marked-up commitment to Buyer by the Title Company on the Closing Date shall conclusively establish that Seller conveyed the Property to Buyer as required by this Agreement and shall discharge in full Seller’s obligations under section 4.1 hereof with respect to title to the Real Property.

(i) Buyer shall conduct all such inspections, investigations, tests, analyses, appraisals and evaluations of the Property (including for Hazardous Materials, as defined below) as Buyer considers necessary or appropriate (all of such inspections, investigations and reports being herein collectively called the “Investigations”).

(ii) Seller shall make available to Buyer, and otherwise allow Buyer access to, the Diligence Documents pursuant to section 1.2 hereof.

(b) Buyer represents to Seller that it is experienced in the acquisition of real property similar to the Real Property and that Buyer recognizes the risks of acquiring and owning the Property and that an allocation of risk is intended by this Agreement.

(c) Prior to Closing Buyer shall review, examine, evaluate and verify all Diligence Documents and the results of the Investigations to the extent it deems necessary or appropriate with the assistance of such experts as Buyer deemed appropriate and:

(ii) shall have completed its due diligence with respect to the Property and the Diligence Documents to its satisfaction;

(iii) shall be acquiring the Property based exclusively upon its own investigations and inspections of the Property and the Diligence Documents; and

(iv) shall be represented by advisors and consultants (including legal counsel) of its choice in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE CLOSING AND INSTRUMENTS EXECUTED BY SELLER AT CLOSING (THE “SELLER’S WARRANTIES”), THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD, AND BUYER IS ACCEPTING POSSESSION OF THE PROPERTY ON THE CLOSING DATE, “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” WITH NO RIGHT OF SETOFF OR REDUCTION IN THE PURCHASE PRICE. EXCEPT FOR SELLER’S WARRANTIES, NEITHER SELLER, ITS COUNSEL OR BROKERS, NOR ANY PARTNER, OFFICER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF SELLER, ITS COUNSEL OR BROKERS NOR ANY OTHER PARTY RELATED IN ANY WAY TO ANY OF THE FOREGOING (EACH A “SELLER PARTY” AND COLLECTIVELY THE “SELLER PARTIES”) HAVE OR SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE MADE ANY VERBAL OR WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, PROMISES OR GUARANTEES (WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE) TO BUYER WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY, ANY MATTER SET FORTH, CONTAINED OR ADDRESSED IN THE DILIGENCE DOCUMENTS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE ACCURACY AND COMPLETENESS THEREOF) OR THE RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATIONS.

(g) BUYER, FOR BUYER AND BUYER’S SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS, HEREBY RELEASES SELLER AND SELLER PARTIES, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FROM, AND WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AND LIABILITY, INCLUDING ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITY (DEFINED BELOW), AGAINST SELLER AND SELLER PARTIES, AND THEIR SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FOR OR ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE FOLLOWING:

Seller would not sell the Property to Buyer without such representations and warranties of Buyer. Such representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for the Survival Period, at which time such representations and warranties shall terminate. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as of the date of this Agreement as set forth below in this section 5.2.

(a) Buyer is a limited partnership duly organized and validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.

(b) Except for Eastdil Secured, Buyer has not dealt with any real estate broker or finder in connection with the purchase of the Property from Seller or this Agreement.

(a) Prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, Seller shall provide Buyer with updated lists of Leases and Contracts. After the execution of this Agreement, Seller shall not execute any additional lease or any contract affecting the Real Property or amend, modify, renew, extend or terminate any of the Leases, the Contracts or the Permits in any material respect without the prior approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that Seller will not be obligated to obtain Buyer’s written approval (i) if Seller is contractually obligated to take such action under the terms of any such Lease, Contract or Permit or (ii) to enter into any new Lease or amendment to Lease currently under negotiation as described on Schedule 9 attached hereto provided that such new Lease or amendment to Lease is entered into on substantially the terms described on Schedule 9.

(b) Seller shall indemnify Buyer for, and defend Buyer against, and hold Buyer harmless from all actions, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be suffered or incurred by Buyer if any representation or warranty made by Seller in section 5.1 hereof or in Seller’s Closing Certificate was untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Seller of any such representation or warranty. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have the right to enforce any claim, nor shall Seller be liable in any way to Buyer, for a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter of which Buyer had actual knowledge prior to the Closing (which for purposes hereof will mean the actual knowledge of John W. Chamberlain). Furthermore, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller under section 5.1 hereof or in Seller’s Closing Certificate unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach has been given by Buyer to Seller and Buyer shall have commenced an action against Seller with respect to such breach prior to the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Survival Period. Furthermore, no claim for breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000), in which event the full amount of such claims shall be actionable. In no event shall the aggregate liability of Seller to Buyer by reason of a breach of one or more of Seller’s representations exceed the sum of Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000).

(c) Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (but shall not be obligated to compensate any tenants in connection therewith) to obtain an estoppel certificate (the “Tenant Estoppel Certificate”) executed by each tenant under each of the Leases that is either: (i) substantially in the form of Exhibit F-1 attached hereto, (ii) substantially in the form required by the Lease for such tenant, or (iii) for governmental entities, is in the form provided by such governmental entity and to deliver each Tenant Estoppel Certificate to Buyer before the Closing Date. For the avoidance of doubt, if the tenant in question marks up or amends the form or substance of the estoppel certificate provided by the landlord such that (i) it is inconsistent with the applicable Lease or (ii) it discloses a material default under the Lease or identifies a potential claim against the landlord, such document shall not qualify as a Tenant Estoppel Certificate for purposes of satisfying the provisions of Section 7.2(d).

(d) If the purchase and sale of the Property is completed in accordance with this Agreement, Seller shall pay the commission due Broker in accordance with the separate written agreement between Seller and Broker.

(a) Buyer shall indemnify Seller for, and defend Seller against, and hold Seller harmless from all actions, claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be suffered or incurred by Seller if any representation or warranty made by Buyer in section 5.2 hereof or in Buyer’s Closing Certificate was untrue or incorrect in any respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Buyer of any such representation or warranty.

(b) Except for liabilities retained or incurred by Seller hereunder, from and after the Closing, Buyer shall indemnify Seller and its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents (collectively, “Seller’s Affiliates”), defend Seller and Seller’s Affiliates against, and hold Seller and Seller’s Affiliates harmless from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements based upon, arising out of, in connection with or relating to the Property, including, without limitation, any such liabilities that are caused by any failure by Buyer to perform the obligations of the landlord under the Leases first accruing on or after the date of this Agreement or of the Property owner under the Contracts first accruing on or after the date of this Agreement.

6.3 Casualty Damage. If, before the Closing Date, the improvements on the Property are damaged by any insured casualty and the cost to restore such improvements, as reasonably agreed by Seller and Buyer, is more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the occurrence of such casualty to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If, before the Closing Date, the improvements on the Property are damaged by any casualty not covered by insurance and the cost to restore such improvements, as reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer, is more than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (such an event being referred to as a “Major Uninsured Casualty”), Seller and Buyer each shall have the right, by giving notice to the other within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the occurrence of such casualty to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If, in the event of a Major Uninsured Casualty, Seller elects to terminate this Agreement (as provided above), then Buyer may override such election by agreeing, in writing, to assume the responsibility for such damage with no right to any claim against Seller on account thereof, in which event the subject transaction shall proceed as if such damage had not occurred. If this Agreement terminates as result of an election by Buyer or Seller following a Major Uninsured Casualty the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer. If, before the Closing Date, the improvements on the Property are damaged by any insured casualty and the cost to restore such improvements, as reasonably determined by Buyer, is Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or less, or the improvements on the Property are damaged by any casualty not covered by insurance and the cost to restore such improvements, as reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer, is Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) or less, or either Seller or Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to either of the preceding sentences but neither Seller nor Buyer exercises such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Closing Date, any insurance proceeds (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such proceeds) payable to Seller on account of the damage shall be transferred to Buyer and the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance policy to the extent of the restoration cost as reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer shall be a credit to Buyer against the total purchase price for the Property. Seller shall give notice to Buyer reasonably promptly after the occurrence of any damage to the improvements on the Property by any casualty. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller has given any notice to Buyer required by this section 6.3 and the period of thirty (30) days described in this section 6.3 has expired, and the restoration cost has been determined by Seller and Buyer.

6.4 Eminent Domain. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Property unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Closing Date, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such award) payable to Seller on account of the taking shall be transferred to Buyer. Seller shall give notice to Buyer reasonably promptly after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller has given any notice to Buyer required by this section 6.4 and the period of thirty (30) days described in this section 6.4 has expired. For purposes of this section 6.4, a “material part of the Property” shall mean a part of the Property that would result in a decrease of the value of the Property by ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price or more.

7.1 Seller. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this section 7.1. Seller may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Seller of any of its rights or remedies if Buyer defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement or if Buyer breaches any representation or warranty made by Buyer in section 5.2 hereof or in Buyer’s Closing Certificate. If any condition set forth in this section 7.1 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Seller, this Agreement shall terminate, but without releasing Buyer from liability if Buyer defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer or if Buyer breaches any such representation or warranty made by Buyer before such termination.

(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall not be materially in default in the performance of any material covenant to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement; provided, however, prior to any termination pursuant to this paragraph, Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice of such default and Buyer shall have one (1) business day to cure such default.

(b) On the Closing Date, all representations and warranties made by Buyer in section 5.2 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Closing Date and Seller shall have received a Buyer’s Closing Certificate (“Buyer’s Closing Certificate”) in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto, certifying to Seller that all of Buyer’s representations and warranties are materially true and correct on and as of the Closing Date, with only such exceptions (other than material adverse exceptions) as are necessary to reflect facts or circumstances arising between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date that would make any such representation or warranty untrue or incorrect on and as of the Closing Date.

(c) On the Closing Date, no judicial or administrative suit, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding by any person shall have been instituted against Seller that challenges the validity or legality of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

7.2 Buyer. The obligations of Buyer under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this section 7.2. Buyer may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any of its rights or remedies if Seller defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller under this Agreement or if Seller breaches any representation or warranty made by Seller in section 5.1 hereof or in Seller’s Closing Certificate. If any condition set forth in this section 7.2 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate, but without releasing Seller from liability if Seller defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller or if Seller breaches any such representation or warranty made by Seller before such termination and Buyer shall be entitled to the immediate return of the Deposit.

(a) On the Closing Date, Seller shall not be materially in default in the performance of any material covenant to be performed by Seller: provided, however, prior to any termination pursuant to this paragraph, Buyer shall provide Seller with written notice of such default and Seller shall have one (1) business day to cure such default.

(b) On the Closing Date, all representations and warranties made by Seller in section 5.1 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Closing Date and Buyer shall have received a Seller’s closing certificate (“Seller’s Closing Certificate”) in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto, certifying to Buyer that all of Seller’s representations and warranties are materially true and correct on and as of the Closing Date, with only such exceptions (other than material adverse exceptions) as are necessary to reflect facts or circumstances arising between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date that would make any such representation or warranty untrue or incorrect on and as of the Closing Date; provided that if Seller’s Closing Certificate includes any material adverse exceptions, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, upon written notice to Buyer, to postpone the Closing Date for up to seven (7) days and to take any action available to Seller that Seller deems appropriate to allow Seller to deliver Seller’s Closing Certificate at the Closing (as so postponed) without material adverse exception. If requested, Buyer shall cooperate in good faith with Seller in connection therewith. For purposes of this section 7.2(b), “material” shall mean any matter that would result in damages of, or decrease the value of the Property by, two percent (2%) of the Purchase Price or more.

(c) On the Closing Date, the Title Company shall be irrevocably committed and prepared to issue to Buyer a standard owner’s policy of title insurance, with liability equal to the total purchase price for the Property, insuring Buyer that fee title to the Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the usual preprinted exceptions (the “Title Policy”).

(d) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall have received Tenant Estoppel Certificates executed by tenants which in the aggregate lease at least seventy percent (70%) of the total leased rentable square footage of office space on the Property (collectively, the “Minimum Estoppel Requirement”). In the event Seller cannot for any reason obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from tenants under the Leases sufficient to reach the Minimum Estoppel Requirement, Seller, at its option, may deliver to Buyer a Seller’s estoppel certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit F-2 attached hereto with respect to any tenants such that when combined with the Tenant Estoppel Certificates that were obtained, will satisfy the Minimum Estoppel Requirement. If Seller obtains a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any such tenant after delivery of such Seller’s estoppel certificate with respect to such tenant, such Seller’s estoppel certificate shall, after delivery thereof to Buyer and as of the date of such Tenant Estoppel Certificate, be void ab initio and shall have no further force or effect.

(e) On the Closing Date, no judicial or administrative suit, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding by any person shall have been instituted against Buyer that challenges the validity or legality of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.3 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay for the standard portion of the Title Policy and the cost of any endorsements or additional coverage obtained at the request of Seller in order to eliminate or insure over a title matter to which Buyer objected under, and in accordance with procedure described in, section 1.2 hereof.

Buyer shall be responsible for any applicable city, county and/or state transfer tax. Buyer shall pay recording charges for the Deed. Escrow fees and any other expenses of the escrow for the sale shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller. Any other costs shall be paid in accordance with local custom.

8.4 Prorations. Prior to the Closing, Seller shall provide to Buyer a draft proration schedule and information and verification reasonably necessary to support such prorations schedule. Buyer and Seller shall use their reasonable best efforts to finalize as many items on such proration schedule as possible before the Closing. The items in subparagraphs (a) through (d) of this section 8.4 shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer based on the actual number of days in the applicable period, as of the end of day immediately preceding the Closing Date, with Seller being entitled to income and obligated for expenses attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer being entitled to the income and obligated for expenses attributable to the Closing Date and thereafter.

(a) Real Estate Taxes and Assessments. Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall be allocated real estate taxes and assessment installment payments (including, any assessments imposed by private covenant) applicable to Buyer’s period of ownership or applicable to Seller’s period of ownership, respectively, even if such taxes and assessment installment payments are not yet due and payable.

(b) Rent. Buyer shall receive a credit for any rent and other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under the Leases collected by Seller before the Closing that applies to any period after the Closing.

After the Closing, Buyer shall apply all rent and income collected by Buyer from the tenants, unless such tenant properly identifies the payment as being for a specific item, first to tenant’s monthly rental for the then current month, second to the tenant’s monthly rental for the month in which the Closing occurred and then to arrearages in the reverse order in which they were due, remitting to Seller, after deducting any actual out-of-pocket collection costs, any rent properly allocable to Seller’s period of ownership. Buyer shall bill and attempt to collect such rent arrearages in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to

engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any rent arrearages. Any rent or other income received by Buyer after the Closing that is owed to Seller shall be held in trust and remitted to Seller promptly after receipt. Buyer’s obligations under this section 8.4(b) shall terminate as of the date set forth in section 8.5, and Buyer shall retain any past due rents received after such date. All tenant security deposits (and interest thereon if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) shall be transferred or credited to Buyer at the Closing. Any letters of credit or other non-cash tenant security deposits held by Seller shall be transferred and re-issued to Buyer. As of the Closing, Buyer shall assume Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits, but only to the extent they are properly credited and transferred to Buyer.

(c) Contracts and Operating Expenses. Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, shall receive a credit for regular charges under the Service Contracts and for operating expenses, paid and applicable to Buyer’s period of ownership or payable and applicable to Seller’s period of ownership, respectively. Amounts due under the Construction Contracts shall be paid in accordance with sections 8.4(e) and (f).

(d) Utilities. Without duplication of the apportionment for operating expense pass-throughs, unreimbursed charges for assessments for sewer and water and other utilities, including charges for consumption of electricity, steam and gas and any other receipts or charges, as applicable, shall be apportioned by Buyer and Seller within four (4) weeks after the Closing. Seller shall use reasonable efforts to have all meters read as close to, but before, the Closing as is feasible, and shall be responsible for amounts shown due by reason of such readings.

(e) Seller TI/LC Obligations. Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price for the improvement, moving, relocation or other payments, credits, allowances or obligations to tenants and leasing commissions accrued by Seller that are described on Schedule 10 attached hereto (the “Seller TI/LC Obligations”) to the extent they are not paid by Seller on or before the Closing. Buyer shall assume the obligation to pay such costs as and when they become due and payable.

(f) Buyer TI/LC Obligations. Buyer shall be responsible for all improvement, moving, relocation or other payments, credits, allowances or obligations to tenants (including any parking subsidy obligations) and leasing commissions for all Leases other than the Seller TI/LC Obligations (the “Buyer TI/LC Obligations”). Buyer shall reimburse Seller through escrow for any of the Buyer TI/LC Obligations paid by Seller prior to the Closing.

(g) BETC Credit. Seller shall have no further interest in the Building Energy Tax Credit (the “BETC”) available from the Oregon Department of Energy in connection with the Property. Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in connection with the transfer of the BETC to Buyer following the Closing.

8.5 Tenant Reconciliations and Post-Closing Adjustments. On or before the date that is one (1) year after the Closing (the “Reconciliation Date”), Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a calculation of the proration of operating expense pass-throughs and other items based upon the actual amount of such items charged to or received by the parties for their period of ownership in 2011. The parties shall make the appropriate adjusting payment between them within thirty (30) days after presentment to Seller of Buyer’s calculation. Seller may inspect

Buyer’s books and records related to the Property to confirm the calculation. Such adjusting payment shall be considered final and no additional post-Closing adjustment for any incorrect proration or adjustment shall be made. To the extent that there is insufficient information on the Reconciliation Date to accurately complete the proration of income and expense, Buyer shall prepare and present to Seller a calculation of operating expense and real property taxes pass-throughs under the Leases and other items based upon the actual amount of such items charged to or received by the parties for their period of ownership on or before the Reconciliation Date.

8.6 Post-Closing Access. For a period of at least one (1) year after the Closing, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, Buyer shall provide Seller and Seller’s designated accountants and auditors with access to the books and records of the Property and all similar information relating to the period prior to the Closing Date.

If any such notice or other communication is not received or cannot be delivered due to a change in the address of the receiving party of which notice was not previously given to the sending party or due to a refusal to accept by the receiving party, such notice or other communication shall be effective on the date delivery is attempted. Any notice or other communication under this Agreement may be given on behalf of a party by the attorney for such party.

9.2 Attorneys’ Fees. If there is any legal action or proceeding between Seller and Buyer arising from or based on this Agreement, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding shall pay to the prevailing party all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by such prevailing party in such action or proceeding and in any appeal in connection therewith. If such prevailing party recovers a judgment in any such action, proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be included in and as a part of such judgment.

In the event of a conflict between the Lease and this Estoppel Certificate, the Lease shall control.

The foregoing information is accurate and complete. Tenant acknowledges that Buyer will rely on this Tenant Estoppel Certificate in purchasing such building from the current owner and Tenant agrees that Buyer shall have the right to rely on this Estoppel Certificate in connection therewith.

The undersigned (“Landlord”) hereby certifies to (“Buyer”), , as follows:

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by Shorenstein Realty Investors Eight, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:

1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);

2. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in Income Tax Regulations section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).

Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.

Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.

For the period of time commencing on the date of the Agreement to which this Exhibit is attached, and continuing through the second (2^nd) anniversary of the Closing Date, Seller shall, from time to time, upon reasonable advance notice from Buyer, provide Buyer and its representatives, agents and employees with access to review and copy, in Seller’s offices, all financial and other information in Seller’s possession relating to the Property and pertaining to the period of Seller’s ownership and operation of the Property, which information is relevant and reasonably necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the outside, third party accountants (the “Accountants”) of AAT, to enable AAT and its Accountants to prepare financial statements in compliance with any or all of (a) Rule 3-14 of Regulation S-X of the Commission; (b) any other rule issued by the Commission and applicable to AAT; and (c) any other applicable requirements of any registration statement, report or disclosure statement filed with the Commission by, or on behalf of, AAT. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the following is a representative description of the information and documentation that AAT and the Accountants may require in order to comply with (a), (b) and (c) above:

Rent rolls for the calendar month in which the Closing occurs and the eleven (11) calendar months immediately preceding the calendar month in which the Closing occurs;

Seller’s written analysis of both (a) scheduled increases in base rent required under the Leases in effect on the Closing Date; and (b) rent concessions imposed pursuant to those Leases, of (a) and (b), provided Seller is not obligated to prepare any such analysis and need only provide any such analysis as may exist and be in Seller’s possession;

Seller’s schedule of expense reimbursements required under Leases in effect on the Closing Date;

Schedule of those items of repairs and maintenance performed by, or at the direction of Seller, during Seller’s final fiscal year in which Seller owns and operates the Property (the “Final Fiscal Year”);

Schedule of those capital improvements and fixed asset additions made by, or at the direction of, Seller during the Final Fiscal Year;

Seller’s invoices with respect to expenditures made during the Final Fiscal Year;

Access (during normal and customary business hours) to responsible personnel to answer accounting questions; and

A representation letter in such form as is reasonably required by Buyer, signed by the individual(s) responsible for Seller’s financial reporting, which representation letter may be required to assist the Accountants in rendering an opinion on such financial statements (provided it is understood that Seller’s financial statements may be prepared on a Federal Income Tax accrual basis of accounting).

We are providing this letter in connection with your audit of the balance sheet of Two Main Development LLC (the “Property”) as of December 31, 2010, and the related statements of operations, member’s capital and cash flows for the year then ended, for the purpose of expressing an opinion as to whether the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Property in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). Certain representations in this letter are described as being limited to matters that are material. Items are considered material, regardless of size, if they involve an omission or misstatement of accounting information that, in the light of surrounding circumstances, makes it probable that the judgment of a reasonable person relying on the information would be changed or influenced by the omission or misstatement. Materiality limitations do not apply to representations not directly related to amounts included in the financial statements.

We confirm, to our actual knowledge, the following representations made to you during your audit:

1. The financial statements referred to above are fairly presented in conformity with GAAP.

(a) Circumstances that have resulted in communications from the Property’s external legal counsel reporting evidence of a material violation of securities law or breach of fiduciary duty, or similar violation by the Property or any agent thereof.

(b) Communications from regulatory agencies concerning noncompliance with, or deficiencies in, financial reporting practices.

(a) Violations or possible violations of laws or regulations, whose effects should be considered for disclosure in the financial statements or as a basis for recording a loss contingency.

(b) Unasserted claims or assessments that our lawyers have advised us are probable of assertion and must be disclosed in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Certification (“ASC”) Section 450- Contingencies.

(d) Material transactions that have not been properly recorded in the accounting records underlying the financial statements.

(e) Events that have occurred subsequent to the balance sheet date and through the date of this letter that would require adjustment to or disclosure in the financial statement.

4. We acknowledge our responsibility for the design and implementation of programs and controls to prevent, deter and detect fraud. We understand that the term “fraud” includes misstatements arising from fraudulent financial reporting and misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets.

Misstatements arising from fraudulent financial reporting are intentional misstatements, or omissions of amounts or disclosures in financial statements to deceive financial statement users. Misstatements arising from misappropriation of assets involve the theft of an entity’s assets where the effect of the theft causes the financial statement not to be presented in conformity with GAAP.

5. We have no knowledge of any fraud or suspected fraud affecting the Property involving:

(b) Employees who have significant roles in internal control over financial reporting, or

6. We have no knowledge of any allegations of fraud or suspected fraud affecting the entity received in communications from employees, former employees, analysts, regulators, short sellers, or others.

7. The Property has no plans or intentions that may materially affect the carrying value or classification of assets and liabilities.

8. We have no knowledge of any officer or director of the Property, or any other person acting under the direction thereof, having taken any action to fraudulently influence, coerce, manipulate or mislead you during your audit.

9. The following have been properly recorded or disclosed in the financial statement:

(a) Related party transactions including sales, purchases, loans, transfers, leasing arrangements, guarantees, ongoing contractual commitments and amounts receivable from or payable to related parties.

We understand that the term “related party” refers to affiliates of the enterprise; entities for which investments are accounted for by the equity method by the enterprise; trusts for the benefit of employees, such as pension and profit sharing trusts that are managed by or under the trusteeship of management; principal owners of the enterprise; its management; members of the immediate families of principal owners of the enterprise and its management; and other parties with which the enterprise may deal if one party controls or can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the other to an extent that one of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests. Another party also is a related party if it can significantly influence the management or operating policies of the transacting parties or if it has an ownership interest in one of the transacting parties and can significantly influence the other to an extent that one or more of the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing its own separate interests.

(b) Guarantees, whether written or oral, under which the Property is contingently liable, including guarantee contracts and indemnification agreements.

(c) Significant estimates and material concentrations known to management that are required to be disclosed in accordance with the AICPA’s Statement of Position (SOP) 94-6, Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties. Significant estimates are estimates at the balance sheet date, which could change materially within the next year. Concentrations refer to volumes of business, revenues, available sources of supply, or markets or geographic areas for which it is reasonably possible that events could occur which would significantly disrupt normal finances within the next year. Concentrations include material sources of financing, including off· balance sheet arrangements and transactions with unconsolidated, limited purpose entities, and contingencies inherent in the arrangements, that are reasonably likely to affect the continued availability of liquidity and financing.

10. The Property has satisfactory title to all owned assets, and there are no liens or encumbrances on such assets, nor has any asset been pledged as collateral, except as disclosed in the financial statements.

11. The Property has complied with all aspects of contractual agreements that would have a material effect on the financial statement in the event of noncompliance.

Further, we confirm that we are responsible for the fair presentation in the financial statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with GAAP.

Upon closing, approximately 96% of the building’s rentable square feet will be leased, and approximately 74% of the building’s rentable square feet will be leased to federal government agencies.

The Company’s retail portfolio comprises approximately 3.0 million rentable square feet, and its office portfolio comprises approximately 1.5 million square feet. In addition the company owns one mixed-use property (including approximately 97,000 rentable square feet of retail space and a 369-room all-suite hotel) and over 900 multifamily units.
