3.1 State of Title to be Conveyed. Title to the Premises shall be conveyed to Purchaser free from all liens, encumbrances, encroachments and other exceptions to title except (i) those shown on the Commitment or the Survey (as such terms are defined in Section 3.2 below) and not required to be cured by Seller in accordance with this Article 3 (or if Purchaser elects not to obtain an Updated Survey, any matters an Updated Survey would disclose), (ii) the Leases and Licenses, (iii) matters caused by Purchaser or the activities of Purchaser or its agents, employees, consultants, contractors and representatives on the Property, (iv) real estate taxes, sewer rents and taxes, water rates and charges, vault charges and taxes, business improvement district taxes and assessments and any other governmental taxes, charges or assessments levied or assessed against the Property, including, without limitation, any so-called payments in lieu of taxes, in each case which are a lien but not yet due and payable, subject to proration in accordance with Section 8.5.4 below, and (v) applicable zoning and building ordinances and land use regulations and any and all other present and future laws, rules, regulations, statutes, ordinances, orders or other legal requirements affecting the Property (collectively, the “Permitted Exceptions”).

3.2 Title Commitment and Survey. Seller has provided to Purchaser a title insurance commitment dated July 24, 2012 (the “Commitment”) for an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance from Chicago Title Company (the “Title Company”), covering the Land, together with copies of all instruments reflected as exceptions set forth therein, as well as a copy of Seller’s existing ALTA survey of the Land prepared by Triad Associates and dated July 19, 2012 (the “Existing Survey”). Purchaser acknowledges receipt of the Commitment and Existing Survey and hereby confirms and approves the Commitment, the Existing Survey, and any matters that would be shown or disclosed on a current ALTA survey of the Property (the “Updated Survey”; either of the Existing Survey or the Updated Survey is referred to herein as the “Survey”) (all such matters that would be shown or disclosed on the Updated Survey shall constitute Permitted Exceptions). With respect to any title or survey matters first arising after the effective date of the Commitment or the date of the most recent certification of the Existing Survey and on or prior to the Closing that materially and adversely affect the operation of the Property, other than any of the Permitted Exceptions (to which Purchaser shall have no right to object), Purchaser shall have until the earlier of (i) five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s discovery of such objections or (ii) the Closing Date to notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s objection thereto, and such matters shall be deemed “Title Objections.” In the event Purchaser shall not timely notify Seller of any Title Objections, then such matters shall thereafter be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. In the event Purchaser shall timely notify Seller of any Title Objections, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Title Objection(s) in its sole and absolute discretion. Within three (3) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of Title Objection(s), with the Closing Date automatically extended, if necessary, to allow for such response period, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such Title Objection(s). Failure of Seller to give such notice within said three (3) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Seller not to cure such Title Objection(s). If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure any Title Objection(s) specified in Purchaser’s notice, Purchaser shall have the following options, to be given by written notice to the Seller within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice electing not to cure such objection(s) (or, if Seller fails to deliver such notice, within five (5) Business Days after the day on which Seller was required to deliver such notice): (a) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matters objected to by Purchaser which Seller has elected, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure (which such matter(s) shall thereafter be deemed to be a Permitted Exception), without reduction of the Purchase Price (provided that Purchaser shall have the right to negotiate with the Title Company for the removal of such objected to items or obtain endorsements with respect to such items), or (b) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Agent, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those matters which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. Failure of Purchaser to give such notice within said five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed a disapproval by Purchaser of the Commitment and a termination of this Agreement whereby Purchaser shall receive a return of its Deposit and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those matters which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

3.2.1 Non-Seller Liens. With respect to any judgment, mechanics and materialmen’s liens, or other monetary liens on title to the Property that are not Seller Liens first arising after the effective date of the Commitment and on or prior to the Closing (“Non-Seller Liens”), Purchaser shall notify Seller of Purchaser’s discovery of the Non-Seller Lien. Within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of such notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing of Seller’s election either (a) to cure or bond off any such Non-Seller Lien in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser and the Title Company, whereupon Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or (b) not to cure or bond off any such Non-Seller Lien, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except for those matters which expressly survive termination of this Agreement.

4.1 Purchaser’s Due Diligence. Purchaser acknowledges that the period of time during which it had the right to perform and conduct such examinations and investigations of the Property as Purchaser may desire, which may include, without limitation, examination of all structural and mechanical aspects thereof, review of the Property Information (as hereinafter defined), examination of the title to the Property, reviewing the Survey, and determining the compliance of the Property with all applicable laws, rules, codes and regulations, expired on the Effective Date and that Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement based on such examinations and investigations. In connection with such examination, Seller made available (at reasonable times and places and/or by providing Purchaser access to an online database) for Purchaser’s review Seller’s files relating to the Property, including, without limitation, maintenance records, environmental reports, records of income, taxes and expenses, Leases, Licenses, tenant files, Contracts, and records of repairs and capital improvements, in all cases to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, but expressly excluding all documents and materials of a proprietary nature, such as internal valuation analysis, projections, software, marketing materials, and materials constituting the work product of Seller or its agents and attorneys (collectively, the “Property Information”).

4.1.1 Access. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has made the Property available to Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants and representatives for such inspections and tests as Purchaser deems appropriate, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall, upon reasonable notice and at reasonable times, make the Property available to Purchaser and its investors for tours and inspections of the Property. Purchaser shall provide notice to Seller at least one (1) Business Day prior to any entry onto the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s agents, employees, consultants or representatives. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during all or any of Purchaser’s inspections and tests. Purchaser will use reasonable efforts to minimize interference with Seller’s operations at the Property and the rights of tenants and licensees of the Property.

Purchaser shall not alter or disturb the Property in any manner and Purchaser shall not permit any mechanics’ liens to be filed against all or any part of the Property. In the event Purchaser discovers any matter during the course of its investigations and tests which may be reportable under applicable law, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it shall not undertake any such reporting (unless required by law), but shall notify Seller immediately of any such discovery. Seller’s prior written consent shall be required prior to any invasive or intrusive testing (including any environmental sampling or testing) and any interviews of any tenants or licensees of the Property by Purchaser or its agents, employees, consultants and representatives, and Seller shall have a right to have a representative present during all tenant or licensee interviews.

4.1.2 Indemnity. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller, its partners, members, managers, affiliates, property manager, and their respective officers, directors, agents, employees, and representatives (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liens, claims, or damages of any kind or nature, including without limitation any demands, actions or causes of action, assessments, losses, costs, expenses, liabilities, interest and penalties, and reasonable attorneys’ fees suffered, incurred, or sustained by any of the Indemnified Parties caused by the entry on the Property by Purchaser or its agents, employees, consultants or representatives or by Purchaser’s investigations of the Property (“Claims”) unless such Claims arise or are caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any other Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, however, Purchaser shall not be responsible for any losses, damages, liabilities, claims, causes of action, judgments, costs and legal or other expenses suffered or incurred as a result of Purchaser’s (or that of its agents, employees, consultants or representatives) mere discovery of any existing condition at or on the Property and as long as Purchaser and its agents, employees, consultants or representatives did not exacerbate or aggravate such condition. Purchaser will promptly repair all damage to the Property arising from Purchaser’s inspections or tests, including any damage that may have been caused by Purchaser or its agents, employees, consultants or representatives in the conduct of the review. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, the indemnification and restoration obligations of Purchaser in this Section 4.1.2 shall survive Closing or the earlier termination, for any reason, of this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide to Seller prior to its or its agents’, employees’, consultants’ or representatives’ entry on the Property certificates of liability insurance insuring Purchaser and Seller in an amount not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

4.2.1 Express Representations. Except as provided in the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Sections 5.1 and 11.1 of this Agreement and except as may be expressly set forth in the documents executed and delivered by Seller at Closing (including any Seller Estoppels (as defined in Section 7.1.2)), and subject to the limitations of time and money set forth in Sections 5.4 and 10.2 herein (collectively, the “Express Representations”), Seller does not, by the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and Seller shall not, by the execution and delivery of any document or instrument executed and delivered in connection with Closing, make any representation or warranty, express or implied, of any kind or nature whatsoever, with respect to the Property, and all such representations and warranties are hereby disclaimed.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, other than the Express Representations, Seller makes, and shall make, no express or implied warranty as to matters of zoning, acreage, building square footage, tax consequences, physical or environmental condition (including, without limitation, laws, rules, regulations, orders and requirements pertaining to the use, handling, generation, treatment, storage or disposal of any toxic or hazardous waste or toxic, hazardous or regulated substance), valuation, governmental approvals, governmental regulations or any other matter or thing relating to or affecting the Property (collectively, the “Disclaimed Matters”).

PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO RESCIND THIS AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO ANY PROVISION OF RCW 64.06. IT IS THE INTENT OF PURCHASER AND SELLER, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE BY LAW, THAT ANY SELLER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PROVIDED BY SELLER WILL NOT BE RELIED UPON BY PURCHASER, AND SHALL GIVE PURCHASER NO RIGHTS WITH RESPECT TO SELLER OR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO RESCIND APPLIES TO THE SELLER DISCLOSURE STATEMENT PROVIDED ON OR BEFORE THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND APPLIES PROSPECTIVELY TO ANY UPDATED OR REVISED SELLER DISCLOSURE STATEMENTS THAT MAY BE PROVIDED BY SELLER TO PURCHASER.

Neither Seller nor, to Seller’s knowledge, any of its equity owners, nor to Seller’s knowledge any of their respective employees, officers or directors, is a person or entity with whom U.S. persons or entities are restricted from doing business under regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control of the Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”), (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) or under any similar statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism) or other similar governmental action.

5.2 Purchaser’s Representations and Warranties. As a material inducement for Seller to enter into this Agreement, Purchaser represents to Seller, as of the Effective Date, as follows:

5.2.2 Authority/Consent. Purchaser possesses all requisite power and authority, has taken all actions required by its organizational documents and applicable law, and has obtained all necessary consents, to execute and deliver this Agreement and will, by Closing, have taken all actions required by its organizational documents and applicable law to consummate the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the consummation by Purchaser of the transactions contemplated hereby will not: (i) violate any judgment, order, injunction, or decree to which Purchaser is subject, or (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under the organizational documents of Purchaser or any lease, mortgage, loan agreement, covenant, or other agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by which Purchaser is bound.

5.2.5 Bankruptcy. No bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar action or proceeding, whether voluntary or involuntary, is pending, or, to Purchaser’s knowledge, has been threatened in writing, against Purchaser.

5.3 Knowledge. For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge” means the present, actual knowledge, without independent investigation or inquiry, of McClure Kelly, who Seller represents is a senior vice president of Seller’s affiliate and has been associated with the Property for at least the last five (5) years. There shall be no personal liability on the part of McClure Kelly arising out of any representations or warranties made herein or otherwise. To the extent a Tenant Estoppel (defined in Section 6.5 below) is provided to Purchaser which sets forth information with respect to any item as to which Seller has made a representation or warranty (including in a Seller Estoppel), then Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to such information will thereafter be null and void and of no further force and effect and Purchaser shall rely exclusively on the information in such Tenant Estoppel.

5.4 Survival. All of the representations and warranties set forth in this Article 5, and any representations made by Seller in a Seller Estoppel, shall survive the Closing for a period of nine (9) months (“Survival Period”), subject to the provisions of Article 10 of this Agreement. Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice (a “Notice of Breach”) of any alleged breach or failure of any representation or warranty made by Seller and specifying the nature thereof within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s discovery of such alleged breach or failure. Purchaser shall commence any action, suit, or proceeding with respect to any breach or failure that is the subject of the Notice of Breach, if at all, on or before the date that is thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Survival Period (the “Suit Deadline”). Seller acknowledges and agrees that the resolution of such action, suit, or proceeding may not occur until after the expiration of the Survival Period and the Survival Period shall be deemed to be tolled with respect to (and only with respect to) any alleged breach or failure of a representation or warranty of which Seller receives a Notice of Breach before the expiration of the Survival Period, provided Purchaser files an action, suit or proceeding with respect thereto prior to the Suit Deadline. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, Seller shall have no liability in connection with this Agreement by reason of any inaccuracy of a representation or warranty if, and to the extent that, such inaccuracy is disclosed to Purchaser or otherwise included in the Property Information or known to Purchaser at the time of the Closing, and Purchaser elects, nevertheless, to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby.

6.1 Operation of Property. From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall operate the Property in accordance with the terms of this Section 6.1.

6.1.1 From the Effective Date until the Closing, Seller shall continue to operate, maintain and repair the Property in the ordinary course of business and to the standard that Seller has operated the Property to date, but shall not take any of the following actions after the Effective Date without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned and which consent shall be deemed granted in the event that Purchaser fails to respond to a written request for its consent within three (3) Business Days: (a) make or permit to be made any material alterations to or upon the Property (provided, however, Purchaser’s consent shall not be required for repairs or other work of an emergency nature, as required by law, or under any Lease or License, provided that Seller shall notify Purchaser of such work as soon as practicable), (b) enter into any contracts for the provision of services and/or supplies to the Property which are not terminable without premium or penalty by Purchaser upon no more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, or amend or modify any of the Contracts in any material respect, unless such Contract, as amended, may be terminated without premium or penalty by Purchaser upon no more than thirty (30) days’ prior written notice, (c) enter into any leases, licenses, or other occupancy agreements with respect to the Property or any part thereof, or extend (except pursuant to a provision of the existing Lease or License), terminate or cancel (except in the event of a tenant default), or otherwise amend (except pursuant to a provision of the existing Lease or License) any of the Leases or Licenses, (d) remove or permit the removal from the Property of any fixtures, mechanical equipment, or any other item included in the Property except when replaced with items of equal or greater quality and value by Seller prior to Closing, and except for the use and consumption at the Property of inventory, office and other supplies and spare parts, and the replacement of worn out,

obsolete and defective tools, equipment and appliances, in each case in the ordinary course of business, (e) subject to Section 6.6 below, settle, compromise, withdraw or terminate any real estate tax appeal or proceeding affecting the Property other than any relating solely to periods prior to tax year 2012, or (f) grant any easements or title encumbrances that will affect the Property after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any lease, license or other agreement, or an amendment, modification, renewal, or extension thereto, is entered into by Seller without Purchaser’s consent to the extent such consent is required under this Agreement (either before or after the Effective Date), Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of all tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, free rent, or other tenant inducement costs (collectively, “New Lease Costs”). Except to the extent Seller has paid New Lease Costs prior to Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit of all unpaid New Lease Costs at Closing.

6.1.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have no obligation to Purchaser to make or perform any capital repairs or replacements unless required to do so to meet its obligations as landlord under the Leases or by applicable law.

6.1.3 Not later than the Effective Date, Purchaser may deliver a written notice to Seller setting forth which, if any, of the Contracts Purchaser has elected to have Seller terminate. Seller shall be obligated to deliver notices of termination at Closing terminating those Contracts that Seller is timely notified hereunder to terminate by Purchaser (which shall include, without limitation, any contracts or agreements affecting the Property not listed on Schedule 1.6), provided that (i) such Contracts are terminable in accordance with their terms and (ii) Seller shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Purchaser from and against any penalties, fees, costs, expenses, liabilities and damages (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from such termination. At Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, to the extent assignable, and Purchaser shall assume, the Contracts pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption Agreement (as defined in Section 8.2.1.4). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller agrees to cause the existing property management agreement between Seller and BCSP V Property Management LLC (the “Property Management Agreement”), the existing Leasing Services Agreement between Seller and Broderick Group, Inc. (the “Exclusive Office Leasing Agreement”), and the Leasing Services Agreement between Seller and Wallace Properties, Inc. (the “Exclusive Retail Leasing Agreement”) to be terminated effective as of the Closing Date at Seller’s sole cost and expense and Purchaser shall assume no obligations arising from the Property Management Agreement, the Exclusive Office Leasing Agreement, and the Exclusive Retail Leasing Agreement.

6.2 Notices. Promptly after receipt, Seller shall provide Purchaser with true and complete copies of any written notices that Seller receives from any governmental authority with respect to (i) any special assessments or proposed increases in the valuation of the Property; (ii) any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings affecting the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any material violation of any environmental law or any zoning, health, fire, safety or other law, regulation or code applicable to the Property. In addition, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser, promptly upon the giving or receipt thereof by Seller, true and complete copies of any written notices of default given or received by Seller under any of the Leases or Licenses.

6.3 Litigation. Seller will advise Purchaser promptly of any litigation, arbitration proceeding or administrative hearing which is instituted after the Effective Date and which concerns or affects Seller or the Property, including without limitation any such matters (such as slip and fall and similar claims) that are covered by Seller’s insurance.

6.4 Insurance. Prior to Closing, Seller will maintain Seller’s existing insurance coverage with respect to the Property.

6.5 Tenant Estoppels. Seller shall request and use commercially reasonable diligent efforts to obtain from each of the tenants under a Lease an estoppel certificate in substantially the form of Exhibit C-1 attached hereto, provided, however, if such tenant’s Lease attaches or prescribes a form of, or content of, an estoppel certificate, such tenant may deliver an estoppel certificate conforming to such tenant’s Lease (collectively, the “Tenant Estoppels”).

6.6 Tax Reduction Proceedings. Seller may file and/or prosecute an application for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property or any portion thereof for real estate taxes or a refund of real estate taxes previously paid (a “Tax Certiorari Proceeding”) to the City of Bellevue for any fiscal year. Seller shall have the right to withdraw, settle or otherwise compromise Tax Certiorari Proceedings affecting real estate taxes assessed against the Property (i) for any fiscal period prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing shall occur without the prior consent of Purchaser, and (ii) for the fiscal year in which the Closing shall occur or any fiscal year thereafter, provided Purchaser shall have consented with respect thereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and which consent shall be deemed granted in the event that Purchaser fails to respond to a written request for its consent within five (5) Business Days. The amount of any tax refunds (net of attorneys’ fees and other costs of obtaining such tax refunds) with respect to any portion of the Property for the tax year in which the Apportionment Time (as defined in Section 8.5.3 below) occurs shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser as of the Apportionment Time with a prior allocation of the portion thereof which must be returned to tenants or licensees pursuant to the terms of the Leases or Licenses; and notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller hereby agreeing to be responsible for the return of such refund to such tenants or licensees for the period up to and including the Apportionment Time and Purchaser having such obligation for the return of such refunds attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date. If, in lieu of a tax refund, a tax credit is received with respect to any portion of the Property for the tax year in which the Apportionment Time occurs, then with a prior allocation of the portion thereof which must be returned to tenants or licensees pursuant to the terms of their Leases or Licenses in the same manner as set forth above, (x) within thirty (30) days after receipt by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, of evidence of the actual amount of such tax credit (net of attorneys’ fees and other costs of obtaining such tax credit), the tax credit apportionment shall be readjusted between Seller and Purchaser, and (y) upon realization by Purchaser of a tax savings on account of such credit, Purchaser shall pay to Seller an amount equal to the savings realized (as apportioned). All refunds, credits or other benefits applicable to any fiscal period prior to the fiscal year in which the Closing shall occur shall belong solely to Seller (and Purchaser shall have no interest therein) and, if the same shall be paid to Purchaser or anyone acting on behalf of Purchaser, same shall be paid to Seller within five (5) days following receipt thereof. The provisions of this Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing. Seller shall indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser and the Property

harmless from and against any actions, claims, costs, expenses, damages, and/or liabilities arising out of, or relating to, any Tax Certiorari Proceeding or such contest or challenge undertaken by Seller, but Seller’s obligation to so indemnify, defend, and hold Purchaser and the Property harmless shall terminate on the expiration of the Survival Period.

7.1 Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligation to Close. Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property is subject to satisfaction on or before the Closing Date of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole and absolute subjective discretion:

7.1.1 Title. A final examination of the title to the Land by the Title Company shall disclose no title exceptions except for the Permitted Exceptions and other matters approved or deemed approved by Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement, and Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue to Purchaser a standard ALTA owner’s title insurance policy insuring title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and such other matters so approved or deemed approved by Purchaser.

7.1.2 Tenant Estoppels. Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Purchaser, at least one (1) Business Day before the Closing Date, executed Tenant Estoppels from tenants comprising at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the occupied rentable area of the Building, including a Tenant Estoppel from (a) HDR Engineering, Inc., (b) Intelius, Inc., (c) Sucker Punch Productions, LLC, and (d) Global Scholar, Inc. (the “Required Estoppel Percentage”), with such Tenant Estoppels not indicating any material defaults under the applicable Lease or any material inconsistencies with respect to the facts or information set forth in the applicable Lease, except to the extent the same have been disclosed in Schedule 5.1.7(vii). If necessary to achieve the Required Estoppel Percentage for the Building, Seller, at its option, may deliver to Purchaser a representation letter substantially in the form of Exhibit C-2 (each, a “Seller Estoppel”) with respect to one or more Leases; provided, however, such Seller Estoppels shall not collectively represent in excess of ten percent (10%) of the occupied rentable area of the Building. Seller’s liability under each Seller Estoppel shall expire and be of no further force or effect on the earlier of: (A) nine (9) months following the Closing Date, or (B) the date that Purchaser receives a Tenant Estoppel (not indicating any material defaults under the applicable Lease or any material inconsistencies with respect to the facts or information set forth in the applicable Lease, except to the extent the same have been disclosed in Schedule 5.1.7(vii)) from the applicable tenant. In addition, Seller’s liability under any Seller Estoppel shall be subject to the limitations of Sections 5.4 and 10.2 hereof. A Tenant Estoppel shall be deemed acceptable regardless of whether a guarantor of the Lease executes the joinder by guarantor contained in the Tenant Estoppel; provided, however, that in such instances where the applicable guaranty requires the guarantor to execute an estoppel, such guarantor estoppel shall be (i) required to be deemed an acceptable Tenant Estoppel, and (ii) in substantially the form of, and to the extent required by, the applicable guaranty.

7.1.3 Delivery of Closing Documents. Seller shall have delivered each of the Closing Documents required to be delivered under Section 8.2.1 of this Agreement.

7.1.4 Covenants, Representations and Warranties. Seller shall not be in material breach of any of covenants, representations and warranties it has made in this Agreement. In addition, there shall not exist any facts or circumstances that would make any of the Seller’s Express Representations untrue in any material respect as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change in circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Seller occurs after the Effective Date which is not otherwise a breach or default by Seller under the terms of this Agreement and such change of circumstances requires a representation and warranty made by the Seller to be modified in order for such representation and warranty to be accurate as of Closing, then the representation and warranty shall be deemed remade as so modified, and Seller shall not be in breach of or in default under this Agreement by virtue of such change in circumstances or modification.

7.2 Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligation to Close. Seller’s obligation to sell the Property is subject to satisfaction, on or before the Closing Date of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in writing by Seller, in Seller’s sole and absolute subjective discretion:

7.2.1 Covenants. Purchaser shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants of Purchaser under this Agreement.

7.2.2 Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties of Purchaser set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a change in circumstances beyond the reasonable control of Purchaser occurs after the Effective Date that is not otherwise a breach or default by Purchaser under the terms of this Agreement and such change of circumstances requires a representation and warranty made by the Purchaser to be modified in order for such representation and warranty to be accurate as of Closing, then the representation and warranty shall be deemed remade as so modified, and Purchaser shall not be in breach of or in default under this Agreement by virtue of such change in circumstances or modification.

7.2.3 Delivery of Closing Documents and Payment of Purchase Price. Purchaser shall have delivered each of the Closing Documents required to be delivered under Section 8.3.1 of this Agreement and shall have paid into escrow the balance due of the Purchase Price.

7.3.1 General. If any condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, has not been satisfied on or before the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall give notice to Seller of the condition or conditions that Purchaser asserts are not satisfied. If the conditions specified in such notice are not satisfied within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice (with the Closing Date automatically being extended to accommodate such ten (10) Business Day period),

then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination) and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any of the conditions precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close, as set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, are not satisfied within the ten (10) Business Day period specified above and the same are reasonably susceptible of being cured, Seller shall have the right to extend such period from time to time in which to satisfy the unsatisfied condition for a period of up to thirty (30) additional days in the aggregate, by giving written notice thereof to the Purchaser and Escrow Agent within the initial ten (10) Business Day period referenced above or, for periods thereafter during such thirty (30) day period, by giving at least two (2) Business Days’ written notice thereof to the Purchaser and Escrow Agent from time to time (still subject to the thirty (30) day aggregate maximum described above), provided the first written extension notice was given during the initial ten (10) Business Day period referenced above. Purchaser shall have the right to waive the unsatisfied condition or conditions by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent given within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the applicable satisfaction period without satisfaction having occurred, in which event the Closing Date shall be the date that is five (5) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s waiver notice. It is understood and agreed that the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.1 hereof that is not reasonably susceptible of being cured within the time allotted shall not constitute a default, breach of a covenant, or other failure to perform by Seller hereunder unless such failed condition was caused by Seller’s willful and intentional actions in violation of its covenants, representations and warranties it has made in this Agreement.

If any condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, has not been satisfied on or before the Closing Date, then Seller shall give notice to Purchaser of the condition or conditions that Seller asserts are not satisfied. If the conditions specified in such notice are not satisfied within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice (with the Closing Date automatically being extended to accommodate such ten (10) Business Day period), then Seller may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, whereupon neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder (other than any obligations of either party that expressly survive termination) and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser (unless the applicable conditions are not satisfied due to a default by Purchaser under this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Seller). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if any of the conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to close, as set forth in Section 7.2 of this Agreement, are not satisfied within the ten (10) Business Day period specified above and the same are reasonably susceptible of being cured, Purchaser shall have the right to extend such period in which to satisfy the unsatisfied condition for a period of up to thirty (30) additional days, by giving written notice thereof to the Seller and Escrow Agent within the initial ten (10) Business Day period referenced above. Seller shall have the right to waive the unsatisfied condition or conditions by written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent given within five (5) Business Days after expiration of the applicable satisfaction period without satisfaction having occurred, in which event the Closing Date shall be the date that is five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s waiver notice. It is understood and agreed that the failure of any condition set forth in Section 7.2 hereof that is not reasonably susceptible

of being cured within the time allotted shall not constitute a default, breach of a covenant, or other failure to perform by Purchaser hereunder unless such failed condition was caused by Purchaser’s willful and intentional actions in violation of its covenants, representations and warranties it has made in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything set forth herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Closing Date be extended with respect to Purchaser’s failure to fund into escrow the balance of the Purchase Price due at Closing as required under this Agreement, unless expressly agreed by Seller in writing in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.

7.3.2 Waiver. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement closes, the parties shall be deemed to have waived any and all unmet or unsatisfied conditions subject to the provisions of Sections 5.4 and 10.2 hereof.

8.1 Closing Date. The consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Closing”) shall be conducted by delivery of documents and funds in escrow to Escrow Agent on the date that is twenty (20) days after the Effective Date (the “Designated Closing Date, as such date may be extended in accordance with this Agreement, the “Closing Date”); TIME BEING STRICTLY OF THE ESSENCE.

Purchaser shall pay (or reimburse Seller for) (i) all costs and fees for title examination, title insurance and related title company charges associated with any endorsements to the Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance or any extended coverage and the issuance of any mortgagee’s title insurance policy and any updates or endorsements thereto required by such mortgagee, (ii) all costs associated with the Survey or any updates thereto ordered by either Seller or Purchaser or required by Purchaser’s mortgagee (if any), (iii) all costs associated with Purchaser’s due diligence studies and investigations of the Property, (iv) all costs associated with Purchaser’s financing of its purchase of the Property, including, without limitation, all recording fees and taxes, (v) all costs associated with any state and local recordation tax, documentary and other taxes and stamps, and any recording fees or mortgage taxes associated with any mortgage or deed of trust related to Purchaser’s financing of its purchase of the Property, and (vi) all sales and use taxes associated with the transfer of the Personal Property to Purchaser. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay its respective attorneys’ fees.

8.5.2 Security Deposits. Seller shall pay to Purchaser, as a credit against the Purchase Price, the amount of any cash security deposits actually received by Seller pursuant to the Leases and Licenses and not yet refunded to tenants or licensees or applied pursuant to the Leases and Licenses. With respect to any security deposits that are held in the form of Letters of Credit or any form other than cash, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing the original

Letters of Credit or other applicable documents together with such original transfer and assignment documentation as may be necessary to effect the transfer of each Letter of Credit or other non-cash security deposit, provided any transfer fees shall be borne by the Seller.

8.5.3 Rents. All rents, percentage rents, common area charges, operating expenses, real estate taxes, parking charges and other costs or charges paid by tenants under the Leases and licensees under the Licenses (collectively, “Rents”) shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time (as defined below), to the extent actually collected by Seller prior to the Closing Date. All Rents received from tenants or licensees after Closing by Seller or Purchaser will first be applied to such charges as are then due for the month in which Closing occurs and prorated appropriately between the parties based on the Apportionment Time, and then applied to any delinquencies in their reverse order of accrual until such delinquencies have been satisfied in full. For a period of nine (9) months after the Closing Date, Purchaser shall, at no out-of-pocket cost to it, cooperate with Seller’s efforts to collect from the tenants and licensees all Rents that are delinquent for the period prior to Closing. Purchaser shall remit to Seller any Rents received by Purchaser subsequent to Closing which are attributable to periods prior to Closing within ten (10) Business Days from Purchaser’s receipt of such Rents, less third party, out-of-pocket costs reasonably incurred by Purchaser in collecting such delinquent rent, together with appropriate supporting documentation. Seller shall remit to Purchaser any Rents received by Seller subsequent to Closing which are attributable to periods from and after Closing within ten (10) Business Days from Seller’s receipt of such Rents, together with appropriate supporting documentation. With respect to any Rents that are delinquent for the period prior to Closing, Seller shall have the right to pursue all rights and remedies against the applicable tenants or licensees to recover such delinquencies; provided, however, that Seller shall not be entitled to dispossess such tenants or licensees, disturb their possession of their leased premises, seek any involuntary bankruptcy of any tenant or licensee, or take any non-judicial action that is calculated to materially interfere with such tenants’ or licensee’s ability to operate their businesses and satisfy their obligations under their Leases or Licenses. As used herein, the term “Apportionment Time” shall mean 11:59 p.m. Pacific time on the date immediately prior to the Closing Date.

8.5.4 Real Estate and Personal Property Taxes. Subject to Section 6.6 above, real estate, personal property and ad valorem taxes for the year in which the Closing occurs, and any vault charges will be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the Apportionment Time on the basis of actual bills therefor, if available, with such proration to be based on the applicable tax year rather than on the calendar year. If such bills are not available, then such taxes and other charges shall be prorated on the basis of the most currently available tax bills and, thereafter, promptly re-prorated upon the availability of actual bills for the applicable period. Subject to Section 6.6 above, any and all rebates or reductions in taxes received subsequent to Closing for the tax year in which Closing occurs, net of costs of obtaining the same (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) and net of any amounts due to tenants, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time, when received. The current installment of all special assessments, if any, which are a lien against the Property at the time of Closing and which are being or may be paid in installments shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time.

8.5.5 Utilities. Water, sewer, electric, fuel (if any) and other utility charges, other than those for which tenants under Leases or licensees under Licenses are responsible directly to the provider, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Time. If consumption of any of the foregoing is measured by meter, Seller shall, prior to the Closing Date, endeavor to obtain a reading of each such meter and a final bill as of the Closing Date. If there is no such meter or if the bill for any of the foregoing will not have been issued as of the Closing Date, the charges therefor shall be adjusted as of the Apportionment Time on the basis of the charges of the prior period for which such bills were issued and shall be further adjusted between the parties when the bills for the correct period are issued. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate to cause the transfer of utility accounts from Seller to Purchaser. Seller shall be entitled to retain any utility security deposits to be refunded by the applicable providers. At Closing, Purchaser shall post substitute utility security deposits to replace those previously paid by Seller or, if the utility provider will not refund such deposits to Seller, Seller shall be reimbursed therefor by Purchaser at Closing.

8.5.6 Insurance Policies. Premiums on insurance policies will not be adjusted. As of the Closing Date, Seller will terminate its insurance coverage with respect to the Property and Purchaser will put in place its own insurance coverage.

8.5.7 Other Operating Income and Expenses. All other income and ordinary operating expenses for or pertaining to the Property, including, but not limited to, maintenance, service charges, and license fees, will be prorated as of the Apportionment Time.

8.5.8 Tenant Improvement Allowances, Leasing Commissions, Free Rent, and LOI Credit. Purchaser shall receive credits against the Purchase Price at Closing equal to (i) the amount of outstanding tenant improvement allowances currently due and payable by Seller to tenants or licensees and shown as “Seller’s Obligation” on Schedule 5.1.7(v) attached hereto, as such Schedule may be updated by Seller at Closing in accordance with Section 8.2.1.9 of this Agreement (but Purchaser shall not receive a credit with respect to any items shown on such schedule as “Purchaser’s Obligation”); (ii) the amount of outstanding brokerage and leasing commissions currently due and payable by Seller to third parties and shown as “Seller’s Obligation” on Schedule 5.1.8 attached hereto, as such Schedule may be updated by Seller at Closing in accordance with Section 8.2.1.9 of this Agreement (but Purchaser shall not receive a credit with respect to any items shown on such schedule as “Purchaser’s Obligation”); (iii) a portion of the amount of “free rent” (whether characterized as “free,” “abated,” or words of similar import) available to tenants under Leases and licensees under Licenses and shown on Schedule 8.5.8 attached hereto which is attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date, (iv) a portion of the rent support provided to certain tenants under Leases and shown on Schedule 8.5.8 attached hereto that is attributable to the period from and after the Closing Date, and (v) the amount of Seller credits related to letters of intent and shown as “Seller’s Credit related to LOIs” on Schedule 8.5.8 attached hereto. If, prior to Closing, Seller pays any tenant improvement allowances or leasing commissions that are designated as “Purchaser’s Obligation” on either Schedule 5.1.7(v) or Schedule 5.1.8 referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above, then Seller shall receive a credit at Closing equal to such amounts paid by Seller on Purchaser’s behalf. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, (A) the credit with respect to free rent referenced in clause (iii) above and the rent support referenced in clause (iv) above shall be

subject to adjustment only based on Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective periods of ownership of the Property, and not with respect to amount or any other factor, and (B) the credit with respect to letters of intent referenced in clause (v) above shall not be subject to adjustment except that such credit shall be reduced if, between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, Seller pays any portion of the amounts identified on such Schedule, in which event such credit shall be reduced by the amount so paid by Seller. From and after Closing, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all tenant improvement allowances, all leasing commissions, and all free rent associated with the Property, the Leases and/or the Licenses and all costs and expenses associated therewith.

8.5.9 True-Up of Operating Expenses and Taxes. On or before February 28, 2013, upon request by Purchaser, Seller shall provide to Purchaser its general ledger of operating expenses and real estate taxes for the Property for the period January 1, 2012 to the Closing Date. On or before March 31, 2013, upon request by Seller, Purchaser shall provide to Seller the annual tenant reconciliation schedule with respect to operating expenses and real estate taxes for the Property for calendar year 2012, together with appropriate supporting documentation and also with the proration of such amounts between Seller and Purchaser based on the prorated amounts of operating expenses and real estate taxes paid by Seller and Purchaser for the 2012 calendar year. Such schedule and supporting documentation shall be subject to Seller’s reasonable approval. Purchaser shall invoice the tenants under the Leases and the licensees under the Licenses for amounts owned in respect of such reconciliation promptly after Seller’s approval of such schedule, but not before then. Seller shall remit to Purchaser any amount owed by Seller on account of such reconciliation within ten (10) Business Days of Seller’s approval of such schedule. Purchaser shall use good faith and commercially reasonable efforts to collect from the tenants and licensees all amounts owed by such tenants and licensees on account of such reconciliation, and shall remit to Seller any such amounts received by Purchaser which are attributable to periods prior to Closing within ten (10) Business Days from Purchaser’s receipt thereof

8.5.10 Post-Closing Adjustment. Seller and Purchaser shall endeavor to complete all adjustments for items to be prorated pursuant to this Section 8.5 within one hundred twenty (120) days after the Closing Date, subject to Section 8.5.9.

8.5.11 Survival. The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year from the Closing Date; provided, however, that the provisions of Section 8.5.9 shall survive Closing for a period of eighteen (18) months from the Closing Date.

9.1 Damage. If, prior to the Closing, all or any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or any other cause whatsoever, Seller shall promptly give Purchaser written notice of such damage. Risk of loss for damage to all or any part of the Property by fire or other casualty from the Effective Date through the Closing Date will be on Seller.

9.1.1 Minor Damage. If the cost for repairing such damage is equal to or less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (as determined by Seller’s independent insurer), then Purchaser shall have the right at Closing to receive a credit for the amount of the deductible plus all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such loss, or an assignment of Seller’s rights to such insurance proceeds, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property.

9.1.2 Major Damage. If the cost for repairing such damage is greater than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) (as determined by Seller’s independent insurer), then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s notice of damage to Purchaser, either (i) to receive a credit for the amount of the deductible plus all insurance proceeds received by Seller as a result of such loss, or an assignment of Seller’s rights to such insurance proceeds, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within such five (5) Business Day period of Purchaser’s intention to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (i), and Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.1.3 Uninsured Loss. If there is an uninsured casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property (“Uninsured Loss”), Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice to Seller given within five (5) Business Days after Seller’s notice of the Uninsured Loss to Purchaser, to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination; provided, however, that Seller shall have right, in the exercise of its sole discretion and by giving written notice to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s termination notice, to elect to give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the reasonably estimated cost of repairing the damage caused by the Uninsured Loss, whereupon Purchaser’s termination of this Agreement shall be deemed null and void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within such five (5) Business Day period of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement, and Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.1.4 Underinsured Loss. If there is a casualty affecting all or any portion of the Property that results in a difference between the reasonably estimated cost of repairing such damage and the insurance proceeds received or payable in respect thereto (net of any applicable deductible) (such difference being referred to herein as an “Underinsured Loss”), Seller shall

have the right, in the exercise of its sole discretion and by giving written notice to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the determination that an Underinsured Loss exists, to elect (a) to give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing in an amount equal to the Underinsured Loss, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall have no further liability or obligation to repair such damage or to replace the Property, or (b) not to give such credit at Closing. If Seller elects not to give such credit at Closing, Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice to Seller given within five (5) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s election, either (y) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination, or (z) to proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller within such five (5) Business Day period of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement, and Purchaser and Seller shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

9.2 Condemnation and Eminent Domain. If any condemnation proceedings are instituted, or notice of intent to condemn is given, with respect to all or any portion of the Property, Seller shall promptly upon obtaining knowledge thereof notify Purchaser thereof (“Taking Notice”). If the condemnation will not result in a material and adverse effect (as hereinafter defined) on the Property, the parties shall proceed to Closing without a reduction of the Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall assign or pay to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in any award payable on account of the condemnation and/or pay to Purchaser all such awards previously paid. In the event that such condemnation will result in a material and adverse effect on the Property, Purchaser shall have the option, which shall be exercised by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent within five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the Taking Notice, either (i) to terminate this Agreement and receive the prompt return of the Deposit, in which case the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement (except for any obligations that expressly survive termination), or (ii) to consummate the purchase of the Property without a reduction of the Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall assign or pay to Purchaser at Closing all of Seller’s right, title, and interest in any award payable on account of the condemnation proceeding and/or pay to Purchaser all such awards previously paid. For the purposes of this Section 9.2, “material and adverse effect” shall include, but not be limited to, any reduction in the amount of any of the rentable square footage of the Improvements, the reduction in the number of parking spaces at the Property, or the permanent, material disruption of access to the Property. Failure to give notice of Purchaser’s election within such five (5) Business Day period shall be deemed an election by Purchaser to proceed to Closing.

10.1 Seller Default At or Before Closing. If Seller refuses or fails, in any material respect, to perform any of its obligations or agreements hereunder when performance is required on or prior to the Closing Date, or if any of the Express Representations should be false in any

material respect when made and Purchaser shall have actual knowledge thereof on or prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser shall not have waived its claims with regard to same pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such breach or default on or prior to the Closing Date and Seller shall have five (5) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice to cure such breach or default and the Closing Date shall be extended accordingly. If Seller fails to cure such breach or default within such five (5) Business Day period, then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy, (i) may terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller and the Escrow Agent thereof and obtain the immediate return of the Deposit and to recover from Seller damages equal to all actual and verifiable out of pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser not to exceed an amount equal to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in the aggregate, (ii) may sue for specific performance of the obligations of Seller hereunder, or (iii) may waive the alleged default and proceed to Closing under this Agreement without adjustment of the Purchase Price. In no event shall Seller be liable for any consequential or punitive damages.

10.2 Seller Breach After Closing. If any of the Express Representations should be false in any material respect when made, or if Seller is in breach or default of any covenant under this Agreement or any document executed and delivered by Seller at Closing, and Purchaser shall first have actual knowledge of same after the Closing Date, and Purchaser shall not have waived its claims with regard to the same pursuant to this Agreement, then Purchaser shall give Seller written notice of such false Express Representation or such breach or default prior to the expiration of the Survival Period as set forth in Section 5.4 and Seller shall have fifteen (15) Business Days from the date of receipt of such notice to cure such breach or default. If Seller fails to cure such breach or default within such fifteen (15) Business Day period, and the actual losses or damages sustained as a result of Seller’s false Express Representations hereunder exceeds One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), then Purchaser shall have the right to bring an action against Seller for the actual damages suffered by Purchaser due to such false Express Representation, provided that, in no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for damages under this Section 10.2 in an aggregate amount in excess of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000). This Section 10.2 is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.4 hereof.

10.3 Purchaser Default. The parties acknowledge and agree that Seller should be entitled to compensation for any detriment suffered if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property if and when required to do so under the terms of this Agreement, but agree that it would be extremely difficult to ascertain the extent of the actual detriment Seller would suffer as a result of such failure. Consequently, if Purchaser fails to consummate the purchase of the Property on the Closing Date or fails to perform any of its other covenants hereunder in any material respect, or otherwise defaults in its obligations hereunder and such failure continues after Seller has provided Purchaser with two (2) Business Days written notice, then Seller shall be entitled, as its sole legal and equitable remedy, to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Purchaser and Escrow Agent prior to or on the Closing Date, in which event the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as fixed, agreed and liquidated damages, and, after the payment of the Deposit to Seller, neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the aforementioned liquidated damages shall not apply to the indemnity or confidentiality provisions attributable to Purchaser under this Agreement or with respect to the representations, warranties, covenants and/or obligations of Purchaser which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or the Closing.

10.4 Delivery of Materials. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then Purchaser shall promptly deliver to Seller all Property Information provided to Purchaser by Seller, including, without limitation, copies thereof in any form whatsoever (including electronic form). The obligations of Purchaser under this Section 10.4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

11.1 Brokers. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller has not contacted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or similar party in connection with this transaction, except for Eastdil Secured (“Seller’s Broker”) and that Seller has not taken any action which would result in any real estate broker’s or finder’s fees or commissions being due and payable to any party other than Seller’s Broker with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Seller will be solely responsible for the payment of Seller’s Broker’s commission in accordance with the provisions of a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser has not contracted or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or similar party in connection with this transaction and that Purchaser has not taken any action which would result in any real estate brokerage or finder’s fees or commissions being due or payable to any party with respect to the transaction contemplated hereby.

11.2 Indemnity. Each party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other party by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under this Article 11. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section 11.2 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

12.1 Written Notice. All notices, demands and requests which may be given or which are required to be given by either party to the other party under this Agreement must be in writing.

12.2 Method of Transmittal. All notices, demands, requests or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder must be sent (i) by United States certified mail, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) by hand delivery, (iii) by Federal Express or a similar internationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) by facsimile or electronic mail with a confirmation copy delivered by another method set forth in this Section 12.2. All such notices, demands, requests or other communications shall be deemed to have been given for all purposes of this Agreement upon the date of receipt or refusal, except that whenever under this Agreement a notice is either received on a day which is not a Business Day or is required to be delivered on or before a specific day which is not a Business Day, the day of receipt or required delivery shall automatically be extended to the next Business Day.

12.3 Addresses. The addresses for proper notice under this Agreement are as follows:

Either party may from time to time by written notice to the other party designate a different address or addresses for notices. Notices sent to or from an address outside of the continental United States shall be sent only by one of the methods specified in clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this Section 12.3. Notices given on behalf of a party by its attorneys in the manner provided for in this Article 12 shall be considered validly given.

13.1 Assignment. Except for an assignment by Purchaser as permitted pursuant to this Article, neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other, which consent may be granted or withheld in the sole and absolute subjective discretion of the party whose consent has been requested; provided, however, that, Purchaser shall have the right, without Seller’s consent, to assign its interest in this Agreement and delegate its duties to an affiliate, so long as such affiliate controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Purchaser, and provided that (a) such affiliate shall assume, in writing (by execution of an assignment and assumption of this Agreement in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller), all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and (b) Purchaser shall not be released of any obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser so assigns this Agreement to an affiliate, Purchaser shall, at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, give the Seller written notice of such assignment, together with a copy of the assignment and assumption agreement executed by Purchaser and the assignee. Purchaser shall also have the right, without Seller’s consent, to assign its interest in this Agreement to an exchange accommodator in accordance with Section 14.17 below.

14.16.1 Except as provided otherwise in this Section 14.16, prior to Closing, both Seller and Purchaser shall keep strictly confidential this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby, and the terms and conditions hereof, and all matters relating thereto, as well as all information relating to the other party. Further, prior to Closing, Purchaser shall keep strictly confidential all information (including the Property Information) relating in any way to the Property or any portion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 14.16, Purchaser shall have the right to disclose, release, and/or publicly file the terms of this Agreement (including its exhibits/schedules), any of the Property Information (and the contents thereof), and the existence of this Agreement (i) as shall be required to comply with any order of any court or governmental entity, or (ii) to comply with any legal requirement applicable to Purchaser, including applicable securities laws and regulations, or (iii) as Purchaser elects to disclose to its investors, or (iv) as shall be necessary to Purchaser’s prosecution of its rights and remedies under this Agreement.

14.16.2 It is understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not preclude any party from discussing the substance or any relevant details of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, or preclude Purchaser from sharing information relating to the Property, on a confidential basis with such party’s attorneys, accountants, professional consultants, advisors, financial advisors, rating agencies, investors, or potential lenders (“Representatives”), as the case may be, or prevent any party hereto from complying with applicable laws, including, without limitation, governmental regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements or enforcing the terms of this Agreement.

WHEREAS, Purchaser and Seller have entered into a certain Purchase and Sale Agreement dated as of July , 2012 (as may be amended, hereinafter referred to as the “Contract”), which provides that one or more deposits will be delivered to Escrow Agent to be held and applied by said Escrow Agent in accordance with this Agreement. Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned in the Contract.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the agreements set forth in the Contract and the mutual covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

1. Within one (1) Business Day after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to Escrow Agent, by federal wire transfer, funds in the amount of Twenty Million and No/100 Dollars ($20,000,000) (the “Deposit”). Escrow Agent hereby agrees to hold, administer, and disburse the Deposit pursuant to this Agreement and the Contract. Escrow Agent shall invest such Deposit in one or more segregated, interest-bearing money market accounts mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser in accordance with instructions provided by Purchaser. In the event any interest or other income shall be earned on such Deposit, such interest or other income become a part of the Deposit and will be the property of the party entitled to the Deposit pursuant to the Contract. Purchaser’s and Seller’s Federal Identification Numbers are set forth below. Escrow Agent shall hold and disburse the Deposit, and shall conduct the Closing, and carry out the duties of Escrow Agent, in accordance with this Agreement and as provided in the Contract.

2. At such time as Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller, or both, setting forth the identity of the party to whom the Deposit (or portions thereof) are to be disbursed and further setting forth the specific section or paragraph of such Contract pursuant to which the disbursement of the Deposit (or portions thereof) is being requested, Escrow Agent shall disburse the Deposit pursuant to such notice; provided, however, that if such notice is given by either Purchaser or Seller but not both, Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly notify the other party (either Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be) that Escrow Agent has received a request for disbursement, and (ii) withhold disbursement of the Deposit for a period of ten (10) days after receipt of such notice of disbursement and if Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Purchaser or Seller within said ten (10) day period which notice countermands the earlier notice of disbursement, then Escrow Agent shall withhold such disbursement until both Purchaser and Seller can agree upon a disbursement of the Deposit. Purchaser and Seller each hereby agree to send to the other, pursuant to Paragraph 5 below, a duplicate copy of any written notice sent to Escrow Agent and requesting any such disbursement or countermanding a request for disbursement.

3. In performing any of its duties hereunder, Escrow Agent shall not incur any liability to anyone for any damages, losses, or expenses, except for willful default or breach of trust, and it shall accordingly not incur any such liability with respect to (i) any action taken or omitted in good faith upon advice of its legal counsel given with respect to any questions relating to the duties and responsibilities of Escrow Agent under this Agreement, or (ii) any action taken or omitted in reliance upon any instrument, including any written notice or instruction provided for in this Agreement, not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and accuracy of any information contained therein, which Escrow Agent shall in good faith believe to be genuine, to have been signed or presented by a proper person or persons, and to conform with the provisions of this Agreement.

4.

Any such legal action may be brought in a federal or district court in the State of Washington or, if such courts do not have jurisdiction as to the parties or matters involved then such court as Escrow Agent shall determine to have jurisdiction thereof.

5. All notices, demands, requests or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder must be in writing and must be sent (i) by United States certified mail, postage fully prepaid, return receipt requested, (ii) by hand delivery, (iii) by Federal Express or a similar internationally recognized overnight courier service, or (iv) by facsimile or electronic mail with a confirmation copy delivered by another method set forth in this Section 5.

For over 40 years, the Company has been acquiring, improving, developing and managing premier retail, office and residential properties throughout the United States in some of the nation’s most dynamic, high-barrier-to-entry markets primarily in Southern California, Northern California, Oregon and Hawaii.

In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. While forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could cause the Company’s future results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements, see the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed on March 9, 2012 and other risks described in documents subsequently filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, of new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.
