FINAL AGREEMENT

With respect to Parcels 1, 2 and 3, and the portion of Parcel 5 included in the Land, Seller shall not seek reimbursement from Buyer in excess of the amount of Buyer’s Proportionate Traffic Impact Fee should the City impose a traffic impact fee for the Project in excess of Five Million Six Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($5,600,000.00). The allocation and payment of the Traffic Impact Fee (and any additional or future traffic impact fees) with respect to the Option Property are addressed in the Option Agreement.
     12.6 Closing Prorations. At the Closing, all operating expenses incurred by Seller with respect to the Property shall be prorated as provided in this Section 12.6 on the basis of a 365-day year, actual days elapsed for the month in which the Closing occurs, as of midnight on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date, it being hereby acknowledged and agreed, that all items of expense for the period prior to the end of the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller and all items of expense for the period following the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer. To the extent that the amount of any of the foregoing expense items shall not have been determined as of the Closing Date, such expense items shall be prorated as of the Closing Date or as soon thereafter as such amount is determined, and Seller shall promptly make to

Buyer shall pay the following closing costs: (i) the portion of the premium for the Title Policy attributable to the ALTA coverage and any endorsements to the Title Policy as Buyer may request; (ii) all costs incurred in connection with Buyer’s due diligence investigations of the Property, including, without limitation, physical inspections and survey updates, (iii) the recording fees for recordation of the Deed; and (v) one-half (1/2) of the transfer tax charged by the City of San Jose with respect to the Deed. All other costs and expenses incident to this transaction and the closing thereof shall be paid according to custom and practice in the county in which the Real Property is located. Closing costs payable by Seller are subject to inclusion in “Project Costs” pursuant to and as defined in the Development Services Agreement, but only to the extent reflected in the Development Budget approved by Owner and attached to the Development Services Agreement.
     12.8 Possession. Seller shall deliver exclusive possession of the Property to Buyer at the Closing.
     12.9 Closing Procedure. Title Company shall close escrow when it is in a position to: (i) pay to Seller, in immediately available funds, the amount of the Purchase Price, as such amount may be increased or decreased as a result of the allocation of the prorations and closing costs as specified in Sections 12.6 and 12.7, the amount of the Accrued Expenses, and the amount of Buyer’s Proportionate Traffic Impact Fee, and (ii) issue to Buyer the Title Policy.
     12.10 Escrow. Upon mutual execution of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller shall deposit an executed counterpart of this Agreement with the Title Company and this Agreement shall serve as instructions to the Title Company for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. Seller and Buyer shall execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable the Title Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement, provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement.

     12.11 Compliance. The Title Company shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local reporting and withholding requirements relating to the close of the transactions contemplated herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent the transactions contemplated by this Agreement involve a real estate transaction within the purview of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), Title Company shall have sole responsibility to comply with the requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code (and any similar requirements imposed by state or

GRANT OF OPTIONS
     THIS GRANT OF OPTIONS (this “Grant”), dated May 22, 2008 (the “Effective Date"), is made between MFP/HUNTER@FIRST OFFICE PARTNERS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Owner”), and BROCADE COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Optionee”).
RECITALS
     A. Owner previously owned certain real property which is located at the intersection of Highway 237 and North First Street in the City of San Jose, County of Santa Clara, State of California and which is legally described on Exhibit A and depicted as Parcels 1, 2, 3 and 4 on the Parcel Map attached hereto as Exhibit A-1 (the “Parcel Map”) and Units 1 and 2 of Parcel 5 as depicted on the Condominium Plan attached hereto as Exhibit A-2 (collectively, the “Real Property”).
     B. Concurrently with the execution of this Grant, pursuant to that certain Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of April 24, 2008 by and between Owner as “Seller” and Optionee as “Buyer” (the “Phase 1 Purchase Agreement”), Optionee purchased a portion of the Real Property comprised of Parcels 1, 2 and 3 and Unit 1 of Parcel 5, as more fully described in the Purchase Agreement (collectively, the “Phase 1 Property”). In connection with the development of the Phase 1 Property, Optionee and MFP/Hunter@First Development Partners, LLC, an affiliate of Owner (the “Development Manager”) entered into that certain Development Services Agreement setting forth terms and conditions pursuant to which the Development Manager shall manage the development of the Phase 1 Property (the “Phase 1 Development Service Agreement”).
     C. Optionee wishes to acquire, and Owner is willing to grant to Optionee, an option to purchase and a right of first offer to purchase the remaining portion of the Real Property located adjacent to the Phase 1 Property, comprised of Parcel 4 and Unit 2 of Parcel 5 on the terms and conditions set forth herein, and as more fully described in Exhibit A-3 attached hereto, together with all assignable development rights, permits and approvals relating thereto, and all other rights, privileges, tenements, hereditaments, rights-of-way, easements, appurtenances, mineral rights, and air rights belonging or appertaining thereto (collectively, the “Option Property”).
     D. Optionee also wishes to acquire, and Owner is willing to grant to Optionee, an option to obtain certain parking rights on the Option Property if Optionee elects not to exercise the option to purchase the Option Property.
     THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
AGREEMENT
     1. Grant of Purchase Option. Owner hereby grants to Optionee an option (the “Purchase Option”) to purchase the Option Property on the terms and conditions set forth in this Grant. The purchase and sale of the Option Property on exercise of the Purchase Option shall be for the purchase price set forth in Section 1.4 and otherwise on the terms and conditions

 


 

set forth in the Purchase and Sale Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Option Purchase Agreement”), provided, however, that the Option Purchase Agreement shall be equitably modified in a manner acceptable to both parties in their respective reasonable discretion to take into account any changes required to comply with applicable laws enacted after the Effective Date.
          1.1 Term of Purchase Option. The term of the Purchase Option shall begin upon the Effective Date and shall terminate at 5:00 p.m. (prevailing Pacific time) on May 22, 2012 (the “Option Term”).
          1.2 Optionee Due Diligence. During the Option Term, Optionee may conduct any and all investigations, inspections, tests, examinations, surveys, studies and analyses which Optionee deems necessary or otherwise elects to make with respect to the Option Property. Optionee may request from Owner the right to enter the Option Property for such purpose, which Owner shall grant subject to Owner and Optionee entering into a mutually acceptable right-of-entry and indemnification agreement which shall provide for (a) the right to enter the Option Property for a period of sixty (60) days for such purpose and (b) reasonable and customary terms and conditions regarding the conduct of Owner’s investigations, inspections, tests, examinations, surveys, studies and analyses. In addition, in response to Optionee’s request, Owner shall deliver or otherwise make available to Optionee documents, materials, reports and information relating to the Option Property in scope and manner similar to the Property Documents (as defined in the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement) Optionee received from Owner pursuant to the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement. Owner shall only be obligated to provide such documents, materials, reports and information in response to two (2) requests made by Optionee during the Option Term.
          1.3 Exercise of Purchase Option. Optionee may exercise the Purchase Option, if at all, by delivering written notice to Owner not less than six (6) months before the expiration of the Option Term and in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 12 of this Grant (the “Exercise Notice”). The Exercise Notice shall affirmatively state that the Optionee exercises the Purchase Option without condition (other than the closing conditions set forth in the Option Purchase Agreement) or qualification and shall specify the closing date, which date shall be at least sixty (60) days following the date of the Exercise Notice and no later than the last day of the Option Term (the “Purchase Option Closing Date”). If the Purchase Option is duly and timely exercised, (a) the parties shall execute, date and deliver the Option Purchase Agreement within ten (10) days after the exercise of the Purchase Option, (b) Optionee shall deposit five percent (5%) of the Option Purchase Price in escrow as the “Deposit” under the Option Purchase Agreement within five (5) business days after full execution of the Option Purchase Agreement, and (c) Optionee shall deposit the Option Purchase Price in escrow as and when required in accordance with the terms of the Option Purchase Agreement. Any qualified or conditional (other than as provided above) exercise of the Purchase Option shall be void.
          1.4 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Option Purchase Price”) to be paid by Optionee to Owner for the Option Property shall be an amount equal to the product of Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80.00) and the positive difference between (a) 888,860 and (b) the aggregate square footage of office space for the three buildings to be built on Phase 1 pursuant to the Development Services Agreement, as adjusted pursuant to this Section 1.4.

2


 

               1.4.1 CPI Adjustments. The Option Purchase Price shall be adjusted on each and every anniversary of the Effective Date of this Grant that occurs before the Purchase Option Closing Date (each, an “Adjustment Date”). The adjustment shall equal the percentage increase in the CPI Index for the month immediately before the month in which the Adjustment Date occurs over the CPI for the month in which the preceding Adjustment Date occurred (or, in the case of the first adjustment, over the CPI for the month in which the Effective Date occurs), multiplied by the Option Purchase Price that payable immediately preceding the Adjustment Date. In no event shall the Option Purchase Price payable pursuant to the Purchase Option be adjusted downward as a result of a decrease in the CPI. The term “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-1984 = 100) for San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose. If the CPI is not published for the specified month, the CPI for the next succeeding month shall be substituted and the Option Purchase Price shall otherwise be computed in accordance with this Section. If the compilation and/or publication of the CPI shall be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or agency or shall be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the CPI shall be used to make such calculation.
               1.4.2 FAR Adjustments. Optionee acknowledges that Owner is currently pursuing certain entitlement matters with respect to the Option Property, specifically as follows: (a) the reallocation of the entitlement for approximately 100,000 square feet of office space from the building to be constructed on Parcel 1 of the Phase 1 Property (“Building 1”) to the building to be constructed on the Option Property (“Building 4”), such that, after the reallocation, the entitled square footage for Building 1 will not be less than 124,767 square feet and the entitled square footage for Building 4 will not be less than 327,000 square feet (the “FAR Reallocation”); and (b) a further increase in the entitlement for square footage of Building 4 from 327,000 square feet (taking into account the FAR Reallocation) by up to an additional 100,000 square feet such that, after the increase, the square footage of Building 4 will be as much as 427,000 square feet (the “FAR Increase”). If Owner successfully completes the FAR Increase before the Purchase Option Closing Date, then the Option Purchase Price shall be adjusted to equal the sum of (i) the product of Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80.00) (subject to CPI adjustment as provided in Section 1.4.1) and 327,000, plus (ii) the product of Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($40.00) (subject to the same CPI adjustment set forth in Section 1.4.1) and the difference between (x) the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Purchase Option Closing Date (up to a maximum of 427,000) and (y) 327,000. If, for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of Owner’s failure to complete the FAR Reallocation), the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Purchase Option Closing Date is less than 327,000, then the Option Purchase Price shall be adjusted to equal (i) the product of Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80.00) (subject to CPI adjustment as provided in Section 1.4.1) and the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Purchase Option Closing Date, minus (ii) the product of Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($40.00) (subject to the same CPI adjustment as provided in Section 1.4.1) and the negative difference between (x) the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Purchase Option Closing Date and (y) 327,000.
               1.4.3 Accrued Expenses. In addition to the Option Purchase Price, at the Purchase Option Closing Date, Optionee shall pay to Owner (a) a portion of the “Shared Costs” (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement [as defined in the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement]) paid by Owner, in its capacity as Owner of the property identified in the Reimbursement

3


 

Agreement as “Parcel 2”, prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date under the Reimbursement Agreement and not previously paid by Optionee pursuant to the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement or Phase 1 Development Services Agreement, (b) the traffic impact fees attributable to the Option Property and paid by Owner prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, provided that Optionee’s payment for traffic impact fees shall not exceed the sum of (x) the positive difference between $5,600,000 less the traffic impact fees previously paid by Optionee pursuant to the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement or Phase 1 Development Services Agreement with respect to Phase 1, plus (y) any actual additional traffic impact fees imposed by the City of San Jose and attributable to the FAR Increase, if any, and (c) the costs of site development improvements to the Option Property or offsite improvements benefiting the Option Property (such as paving improvements to specifications required for construction of the Phase 2 Parking Structure as defined in Section 6 or installation of utility lines and hookups) made after the date hereof, provided that Optionee has approved in writing and in advance the plans and specifications for such improvements and the estimated cost thereof. Except as expressly provided in this Section 1.4.3, Optionee shall not reimburse Owner for or otherwise be responsible or liable for any other accrued expenses incurred by Owner in connection with the ownership or development of the Option Property.
          1.5 FAR Reallocation and FAR Increase. Owner shall use commercially reasonable good faith efforts to pursue and complete the FAR Reallocation and the FAR Increase in a timely manner, at Owner’s sole cost, provided that such efforts shall not include an obligation of Owner to consent to or permit the imposition of any conditions to approval of either the FAR Reallocation or the FAR Increase that, in Owner’s reasonable discretion, may have a material adverse effect on Parcel 6 and/or Parcel 7 depicted on the Parcel Map. During the Option Term, Owner shall not pursue any other entitlement efforts with respect to the Option Property without first obtaining Optionee’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Optionee shall in good faith cooperate with Owner as may be reasonably necessary in connection with Owner’s efforts to obtain the FAR Reallocation and FAR Increase. Any conditions to the approval of either the FAR Reallocation or the FAR Increase that, in Optionee’s reasonable discretion, may have a material adverse effect on Parcels 1, 2, 3, 4 and/or 5 shall be subject to Optionee’s prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. The foregoing notwithstanding, Optionee shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay its approval of site development modifications to Parcel 4 imposed by the City in connection with the FAR Reallocation.
          1.6 Owner’s Rights. During the Option Term and thereafter, Owner shall have the right to use the Option Property for any purpose and in any manner and to enter into any agreements, encumbrances, leases, licenses, easements, or other occupancy permits that are terminable by Owner on or prior to the Purchase Option Closing Date, provided that Owner shall, at Owner’s cost, terminate any of the foregoing prior to and as a condition of closing under any Option Purchase Agreement or ROFO Purchase Agreement. During the Option Term and thereafter, Owner shall have the right to make improvements to the Option Property that are temporary in scope and nature, provided that Owner shall, at Owner’s cost, remove any such improvements prior to and as a condition of closing under any Option Purchase Agreement or ROFO Purchase Agreement or deliver the Option Property with such improvements if acceptable to Optionee.

          1.7 Termination of Purchase Option. The Purchase Option shall terminate upon the occurrence of either of the following events: (a) the Purchase Option is not exercised as required by this Grant at least six (6) months before the expiration of the Option Term or (b) the Purchase Option is timely and properly exercised as required by this Grant and the parties enter into the Option Purchase Agreement (which shall then supersede this Grant). In either event, the Purchase Option and all rights of Optionee under Section 1 shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice and cease to be of any force or effect whatsoever, and Optionee shall have no further right to purchase the Option Property, except as set forth in Section 2, below. Once it has terminated, the Purchase Option may not be revived by any further action by Optionee.
     2. Grant of Right of First Offer. Owner hereby grants to Optionee a one-time right of first offer (the “ROFO”) to purchase the Option Property in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.
          2.1 Offer Procedure. If Optionee does not exercise the Purchase Option during the Option Term and if Optionee is not in default under this Grant, then Optionee shall have a ROFO to purchase the Option Property. If Owner desires to (a) sell, market for sale or enter into negotiations to sell the Option Property or (b) Commence Development on the Option Property, Owner shall send written notice (the “ROFO Notice”) to Optionee of its proposed action. For purposes of this Section 2, Owner shall be deemed to “Commence Development” of the Option Property at such time as Owner has caused design development documents to be prepared for Owner’s proposed development of the Option Property (but the term Commence Development shall not be deemed to include construction of site improvements to the Option Property in accordance with the Approved Final Plans and Specifications as defined in the Phase 1 Development Services Agreement). If delivered in connection with clause (a) above, the ROFO Notice shall state: (i) the purchase price, (ii) the amount and structure of the required earnest money deposits, (iii) the length of any due diligence period, (iv) the date of the closing, (v) the place for close of escrow, (vi) the allocation of expenses of closing between Owner and Optionee, (vii) a list of entitlements obtained and currently pending for the Option Property, and (viii) other material terms and conditions of the proposed action. If delivered in connection with clause (b) above, the ROFO Notice shall also state the proposed development which Owner intends to commence, in addition to items (i) through (vii) above. Upon receipt of the ROFO Notice, Owner and Optionee shall negotiate in good faith for a period of ten (10) business days after receipt of the ROFO Notice a letter of intent (the “ROFO Letter of Intent”) acceptable to both parties for the purchase and sale of the Option Property.
          2.2 Purchase Agreement. If Owner and Optionee duly and timely execute the ROFO Letter of Intent, Owner and Optionee shall negotiate in good faith for a period of thirty (30) days (a) a purchase agreement that incorporates the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Letter of Intent and that is otherwise substantially similar to the Option Purchase Agreement but with customary due diligence provisions (the “ROFO Purchase Agreement”) and (b) if applicable and at each of Owner’s and Optionee’s sole option, a development services agreement that incorporates the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFO Letter of Intent and that is otherwise substantially similar to the Phase 1 Development Services Agreement (the “Phase 2 Development Services Agreement”).

5


 

          2.3 Rejection of ROFO. If Owner and Optionee have not entered into the ROFO Letter of Intent within the ten business day period set forth in Section 2.1 or if Owner and Optionee have not entered into the ROFO Purchase Agreement and, if applicable and at each of Owner’s and Optionee’s sole option, the Phase 2 Development Services Agreement within the thirty-day period set forth in Section 2.2, then (subject to Section 2.4) the ROFO and all rights of Optionee under Section 2 shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice and cease to be of any force or effect whatsoever, and Optionee shall have no further right to purchase the Option Property, except as provided in Section 2.4.
          2.4 Right to Sell/Develop after ROFO. If Owner fails to (a) within six (6) months after delivery of the ROFO Notice close a sale on an arms’-length basis to an unrelated third party for a purchase price that is at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the purchase price stated in the ROFO Notice (the calculation of which shall include adjustments to account for allocation of closing costs, title premiums and charges, and transfer taxes) or (b) within twelve (12) months after delivery of the ROFO Notice Commence Development of the Option Property, then Optionee’s ROFO shall revive and apply to any future proposed sales or development of the Option Property, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 2.
          2.5 Termination of ROFO. The ROFO shall terminate upon the occurrence of the following events: (a) the ROFO is not exercised in accordance with Section 2 after delivery of the ROFO Notice, or (b) the execution of the ROFO Purchase Agreement by both parties (which shall then supersede this Grant). In either event, the ROFO and all rights of Optionee under Section 2 shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice and cease to be of any force or effect whatsoever, and Optionee shall have no further right to purchase the Option Property, except pursuant to the ROFO Purchase Agreement (if applicable). Once it has terminated, the ROFO may not be revived by any further action by Optionee except pursuant to Section 2.4.
          2.6 No Implied Obligation. Nothing contained in this Section 2 is intended to imply or create any obligation of Owner to sell the Option Property to any person at any time or to develop the Option Property at any time. The ROFO shall be exercised by Optionee if, and only if, Owner elects in its discretion to sell or develop the Option Property. Owner shall have no obligation to provide any information to Optionee regarding the negotiations or agreements with any third parties concerning the sale or development of the Option Property, including, without limitation, any drawings, plans or specifications for improvements on the Option Property, except to the extent, and only to the extent, that it becomes necessary to prove that the ROFO was not subject to revival under Section 2.4.
     3. Condition of Title. If the Purchase Option or the ROFO is exercised by Optionee, at the closing pursuant thereto, Owner shall convey to Optionee marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Real Property by grant deed, subject to: (a) liens to secure payment of real estate taxes and assessments not delinquent (subject to proration at closing); (b) applicable zoning and use laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any municipality, township, county, state or other governmental agency or authority; (c) all matters that would be disclosed by an updated survey of the Option Property; (d) a standard exclusion from Optionee’s Title Policy for matters that are actually known to Optionee and not disclosed to the Title Company, provided that the foregoing shall not mean or imply that title will be conveyed to or accepted by Optionee

6


 

subject to (i) any matters shown on the current or any previous preliminary reports received by Optionee but not included in the approved exceptions listed in clause (f) below or exceptions approved by Optionee pursuant to clause (h), (ii) any items or matters that Owner is required, pursuant to this Agreement or in the Option Purchase Agreement or ROFO Purchase Agreement, as applicable, to remove; (e) any exceptions or matters created by Optionee, its agents, employees or representatives; (f) the exceptions identified as items numbered 1 through 9, 12 through 20 and 22 through 24 on the Preliminary Report for the Option Property prepared by First American Title Insurance the Title Company and attached hereto as Exhibit C, (g) any matters depicted on the survey provided by Owner pursuant to the Phase 1 Purchase Agreement; and (h) such other exceptions as Optionee may approve in writing pursuant to the Option Purchase Agreement or the ROFO Purchase Agreement, as applicable.
     4. Excluded Transfers. The Purchase Option and the ROFO shall not apply to (a) any sales, transfers, or encumbrances of the Option Property, or any part thereof, in connection with the financing or refinancing of the Option Property, or any part thereof, by Owner, (b) any sales, transfers, conveyances of the Option Property, or any part thereof, to an Owner Affiliate, or (c) any sales, transfers, conveyances, assignments, financings, refinancings, restructurings or encumbrances of any direct or indirect interest in Owner to or from any Owner Affiliate; provided that the Purchase Option and ROFO shall survive any of the foregoing sales, transfers, conveyances, assignments, financings, refinancings, restructurings or encumbrances and be binding on Owner’s successors and assigns in connection therewith, and further provided that any of the foregoing sales, transfers, conveyances, assignments, financings, refinancings, restructurings or encumbrances are made for a good faith business purpose and not, whether in a single transaction or in a series of transactions, entered into as a subterfuge to evade Owner’s obligations as set forth in this Grant. For purposes of this Grant, the term “Owner Affiliate” means any person or entity that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, Owner and the terms “Control” or “Controlled by” or “Controlling” or any derivative thereof, when used with respect to any specified entity or person, shall mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management or policies of such specified entity or person, whether through ownership of voting securities or other ownership interests or by contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any entity or person which together with Owner Affiliates owns, directly or indirectly, securities representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the value or ordinary voting power of a corporation or more than twenty percent (20%) of the partnership, general partnership, membership or other ownership interests (based upon value or vote) of any other entity is deemed to Control such entity.
     5. Option Consideration. On execution and delivery of this Grant, Optionee shall pay to Owner, in immediately available funds, the sum of $10.00 as consideration for the Purchase Option and the ROFO. The consideration set forth in this Section, as well as any other consideration deemed to have been received by Owner under this Grant, is and shall be deemed consideration solely for the granting of the Purchase Option and the ROFO by Owner. On expiration or termination of this Grant, Owner shall retain all option consideration. If the Purchase Option or ROFO is exercised, the consideration shall be credited against the purchase price of the Option Property, if closing occurs in accordance with Option Purchase Agreement or the ROFO Purchase Agreement.

     6. Option to Acquire Parking Easement. Owner hereby grants a one-time right to acquire an exclusive easement to additional parking (the “Parking Easement Option”) in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section 6. At any time after expiration of the Purchase Option, if Optionee has not exercised the Purchase Option and Optionee has not defaulted under this Grant, Owner shall provide written notice to Optionee that Owner intends to commence construction of the parking structure on Unit 2 of Parcel 5 (the “Phase 2 Parking Structure”), which notice shall specify the estimated cost to construct each parking stall within the Phase 2 Parking Structure and the number of parking stalls available for a easement in favor of Optionee (which number shall not be less than sixty-four (64) parking stalls) (the “Parking Easement Notice”). Upon receipt of the Parking Easement Notice, Optionee shall have the right, for a period of thirty (30) days, to exercise the Parking Easement Option by giving Owner written notice (the “Acceptance Notice”) that Optionee desires to obtain an easement to use the parking stalls in the Phase 2 Parking Structure and specifying the number of parking stalls for which Optionee desires to be granted the easement. Any qualified or conditional acceptance by Optionee of the Parking Easement Option shall be deemed a rejection of the offer. If, within such thirty (30) day period, Optionee gives the Acceptance Notice, then Owner and Optionee shall for a period of thirty (30) days negotiate in good faith (a) a definitive parking easement agreement (the “Phase 2 Parking Easement”) that grants to Optionee an exclusive easement over the number of parking stalls set forth in the Acceptance Notice in an area within the Phase 2 Parking Structure mutually acceptable to Owner and Optionee; and (b) a shared parking agreement (the “Phase 2 Shared Parking Agreement”) that (i) provides for payment by Optionee to Owner of a fixed easement fee calculated by multiplying the number of parking stalls set forth in the Acceptance Notice by the estimated cost to construct each stall as set forth in the Parking Easement Notice, less One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000), which Owner and Optionee hereby agree is the amount to be credited to Optionee for reimbursement of the cost of certain site improvements to Parcel 4 to be constructed by Optionee concurrent with site improvements to the Phase 1 Property (the “Optionee’s Parking Cost Payment”), (ii) provides for the on-going payment by Optionee of its proportionate share of all costs and expenses of maintenance, insurance, taxes and utilities of the Phase 2 Parking Structure, (iii) provides for payment of a deposit in the amount of fifty percent (50%) of the Optionee’s Parking Cost Payment upon issuance of the building permit for the Phase 2 Parking Structure, (iv) provides for payment of the remaining fifty percent (50%) of the Optionee’s Parking Cost Payment upon the date construction of the Phase 2 Parking Structure is completed, all governmental approvals required for the operation of the Phase 2 Parking Structure have been issued, and Owner has commenced operation and use of the Phase 2 Parking Structure, and (v) incorporates other terms and conditions consistent with custom and practice for the granting of easements for a parking structure supporting a mixed-use project. The Phase 2 Shared Parking Agreement shall be substantially in the form executed by Grantee and USR at First, LLC and dated as of May 22, 2008 with respect to the garage structure to be located on Unit 1 of Parcel 5. The Phase 2 Parking Easement and the Phase 2 Shared Parking Agreement may be negotiated and executed as a single document. If Owner and Optionee have not entered into the Phase 2 Parking Easement and Phase 2 Shared Parking Agreement within the thirty-day period, Optionee’s Parking Easement Option and all rights of Optionee under this Grant shall automatically and immediately terminate without notice and cease to be of any force or effect whatsoever, and Optionee shall have no further rights to the Parking Easement Option and under this Section 6.

     7. Memorandum of Option. On execution of this Grant, Owner and Optionee shall execute and record in the official records of the County of Santa Clara a Memorandum of Option in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto. Optionee shall pay the recording cost. Optionee covenants to execute and deliver to Owner immediately on the expiration or earlier termination of all of the Purchase Option, ROFO and Parking Easement Option, a release or quitclaim deed in recordable form, releasing and reconveying to Owner all right, title, and interest of Optionee in the Option Property. In addition, at any time following the expiration or earlier termination of each of the Purchase Option, ROFO and Parking Easement Option, Optionee will confirm such expiration or earlier termination by written estoppel certificate or like documentation, within ten (10) days following written request by Owner for such confirmation.
     8. Condemnation. If at any time either Owner or Optionee receives notice of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, or any proceeding in lieu of condemnation, initiated against the Option Property, then the party receiving notice shall promptly notify the other party of that fact. Optionee may elect to terminate this Grant by delivering written notice to Owner within thirty (30) days after Optionee receives such notice. If Optionee does not elect to terminate, and if such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding does not affect the entire Option Property, then the parties shall negotiate in good faith such revisions to this Grant as may be appropriate and acceptable to both parties in their reasonable discretion.
     9. Assignment. The Purchase Option, the ROFO, the Parking Easement Option and the rights under this Grant, are personal to the Optionee originally named hereunder and to an Optionee Affiliate, and Optionee shall have no right to assign all or any of the Purchase Option, the ROFO, the Parking Easement Option or any of Optionee’s rights under this Grant, by assignment, reservation or otherwise to any person or entity other than an assignment (by itself or in connection with sales, transfers, conveyances, financings, refinancings, or restructurings) made for a good faith business purpose and not (whether in a single transaction or in a series of transactions) entered into as a subterfuge to evade the restrictions against assignment and reservation set forth in this Section 9. For example, and without limiting the foregoing, an assignment to a third party that is conditioned upon a lease of the Option Property to the originally named Optionee or an Optionee Affiliate immediately after closing of the sale would be for a good faith business purpose and, therefore, allowed under this Section 9. If at any time the Optionee originally named under this Grant assigns this Grant, the Purchase Option, the ROFO, the Parking Easement Option or any other rights under this Grant, to any person or entity, other than to an Optionee Affiliate or in connection with a good faith business purpose as allowed by this Section 9, then (a) such attempted assignment (but not this Grant or Optionee’s rights hereunder, which shall remain for the benefit of Optionee) shall be void and of no force or effect whatsoever, and (b) upon final determination that such attempted assignment is not allowed hereunder (by the parties’ mutual agreement, arbitration, judgment or otherwise) Optionee shall pay Owner Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). For purposes of this Grant, the term “Optionee Affiliate” means (i) any person or entity that directly or indirectly Controls, is Controlled by, or is under common Control with, the Optionee, (ii) any entity that results from the transfer of all or substantially all of Optionee’s assets or stock, or (iii) any entity that results from the merger or consolidation of Optionee with another entity. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any entity or person which together with Optionee Affiliates owns, directly or indirectly, securities representing more than twenty percent (20%) of the value or ordinary voting power of a corporation or more than twenty percent (20%) of the partnership,

9


 

general partnership, membership or other ownership interests (based upon value or vote) of any other entity is deemed to Control such entity.
     10. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any action at law or in equity between the parties arising from or in connection with this Grant (including, without limitation, any dispute as to whether an assignment of this Grant by Optionee is allowed under Section 9), the prevailing party shall recover attorney’s fees and other costs incurred in that action in addition to any other relief, and such attorney’s fees and costs shall be included in and as part of any judgment in such action.
     11. Subordination. Owner shall have the absolute right at any time to encumber Owner’s interest in the Option Property in any way, including, but not limited to, by mortgage or deed of trust, in Owner’s sole discretion. Optionee expressly agrees that Owner may cause the Purchase Option and ROFO to become subject and subordinate to the lien of a future mortgage, deed of trust or other lien securing indebtedness of Owner (any such, a “Mortgage”) to the extent provided in and on the terms and conditions of this Section 11. Optionee agrees, upon the written request of the holder of any Mortgage hereinafter granted by Owner, or any prospective lender to Owner whose loan will be secured by a Mortgage, to enter into (and to execute, acknowledge and deliver) a subordination and recognition agreement (“SNDA”) containing such provisions as may be reasonably requested by such holder or prospective lender and acceptable to Optionee, which shall in any event include the holder of the Mortgage’s agreement to recognize Optionee’s rights under this Grant under all circumstances (including, without limitation, after the holder of the Mortgage or its designee’s acquisition of title to the Option Property by foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure). The failure or refusal of the holder of a future Mortgage to enter into a recognition agreement with Optionee shall not render Owner liable to Optionee, or affect this Grant, in any manner, except that, in such event, this Grant, the Purchase Option and the ROFO shall not be subordinated to such Mortgage unless and until such time as the holder of such Mortgage enters into an SNDA as described above. In the event Optionee exercises the Purchase Option or ROFO, Owner shall, at or prior to close of escrow of the sale to Optionee pursuant to the Purchase Option or ROFO, cause the removal of the lien of any Mortgage then encumbering the Option Property. Owner shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an SNDA from the holder of any Mortgage encumbering the Option Property as of the date of this Agreement.
     12. Notices. All notices, demands or other communications of any type given by either party to the other, whether required by this Grant or in any way related to this transaction, shall be in writing and delivered: (a) by hand or Federal Express or similar courier service; (b) by United States Mail, as a certified item, return receipt requested, and deposited in a Post Office or other depository under the care or custody of the United States Postal Service, with proper postage affixed, or (c) transmitted by facsimile or electronic mail with a hard copy sent within one (1) business day by any of the foregoing means.

     D. Buyer has now duly exercised its option to purchase the Property (as defined below), and desires to purchase the Property from Seller upon the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants of the parties herein contained and other valuable consideration, the parties agree as follows:
     1. SALE AND PURCHASE; TITLE COMPANY.

 


 

          1.1 General. Subject to the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, all of the Property.

               1.2.1 Improvements. The improvements, if any, located on the Real Property.
               1.2.2 Entitlements. All assignable development rights, permits and approvals relating to the Real Property (the “Existing Entitlements”).

          1.3 Excluded Property.

     2. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE.
          2.1 Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Property is an amount equal to [SUBJECT TO REVISION AS APPROPRIATE, CONSISTENT WITH THE GRANT, BASED ON ANY COMPLETED FAR INCREASE, FAR REALLOCATION AND/OR OTHER DECREASE IN ENTITLEMENT BELOW 327,000] the product of [Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80.00)] [TO BE ADJUSTED BY CPI IF OPTION IS EXERCISED ANY TIME AFTER ONE YEAR FOLLOWING EFFECTIVE DATE OF OPTION] and the positive difference between (a) 888,860 and (b) the aggregate square footage of office space for the three buildings [under construction/constructed] on Phase 1, as such amount may be adjusted pursuant to this Section 2.1. [FOLLOWING SECTIONS 2.1.1 AND 2.2.2 TO BE INCLUDED AND REVISED AS NOTED]
               2.1.1 [THIS SECTION TO BE INCLUDED IF AN ADJUSTMENT DATE WILL OCCUR AFTER EXERCISE OF OPTION AND BEFORE CLOSING]CPI Adjustments. The Purchase Price shall be adjusted as of May ___, 20___ [INSERT YEAR IN WHICH OPTION IS EXERCISED IF EXERCISED BEFORE MAY]. The adjustment shall equal the percentage increase in the CPI Index for the month of April, 20___ [INSERT YEAR IN

 


 

WHICH OPTION IS EXERCISED] over the CPI for month of April, 20___ [INSERT PREVIOUS YEAR], multiplied by the Purchase Price calculated pursuant to Section 2.1 as of the Effective Date. In no event shall the Purchase Price payable hereunder be adjusted downward as a result of a decrease in the CPI. The term “CPI” means the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Consumer Price Index (All Urban Consumers, All Items, 1982-1984 = 100) for San Francisco/Oakland/San Jose. If the CPI is not published for the specified month, the CPI for the next succeeding month shall be substituted and the Purchase Price shall otherwise be computed in accordance with this Section. If the compilation and/or publication of the CPI shall be transferred to any other governmental department or bureau or agency or shall be discontinued, then the index most nearly the same as the CPI shall be used to make such calculation
               2.1.2 [THIS SECTION TO BE INCLUDED AND REVISED AS BASED ON STATUS OF REALLOCATION AND INCREASE AT THE TIME OF EXERCISE OF OPTION[Changes in Floor Area Ratio. Buyer acknowledges that Seller is currently pursuing certain entitlement matters with respect to the Land, specifically as follows: (a) the reallocation of the entitlement for approximately 100,000 square feet of office space from “Building 1” to be constructed on the Phase 1 Property to the building to be constructed on Parcel 4 of the Land (“Building 4”), such that after the reallocation the entitled square footage of Building 4 will not be less than 327,000 square feet (the “FAR Reallocation”); and (b) an increase in the currently entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 of 327,000 (taking into account the FAR Reallocation) by an additional 100,000 square feet such that the square footage of Building 4 will not be less than 427,000 square feet (the “FAR Increase”). If Seller successfully completes the FAR Increase before the Closing Date, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to equal the sum of (i) the product of [Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80.00)] [TO BE ADJUSTED BY CPI IF OPTION IS EXERCISED ANY TIME AFTER ONE YEAR FOLLOWING EFFECTIVE DATE OF OPTION] (subject to CPI adjustment as provided in Section 2.1.1) and 327,000, plus (ii) the product of [Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($40.00) ] [TO BE ADJUSTED BY CPI IF OPTION IS EXERCISED ANY TIME AFTER ONE YEAR FOLLOWING EFFECTIVE DATE OF OPTION] and the difference between (x) the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Closing Date (up to a maximum of 427,000) and (y) 327,000. If, for any reason (including, without limitation, as a result of Seller’s failure to complete the FAR Reallocation), the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Closing Date is less than 327,000, then the Purchase Price shall be adjusted to equal (i) the product of [Eighty and 00/100 Dollars ($80.00) ] [TO BE ADJUSTED BY CPI IF OPTION IS EXERCISED ANY TIME AFTER ONE YEAR FOLLOWING EFFECTIVE DATE OF OPTION] and the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Closing Date, minus (ii) the product of [Forty and 00/100 Dollars ($40.00) ] [TO BE ADJUSTED BY CPI IF OPTION IS EXERCISED ANY TIME AFTER ONE YEAR FOLLOWING EFFECTIVE DATE OF OPTION] and the negative difference between (x) the entitled square footage of office space for Building 4 as of the Closing Date and (y) 327,000].
          2.2 Terms of Payment. Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price to Seller as follows:
               2.2.1 Deposit. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, and as a condition precedent to the effectiveness of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit in

 


 

escrow with the Title Company, by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds in the amount of [___Million and 00/100 Dollars ($                     ] [INSERT AMOUNT EQUAL TO 5% OF PURCHASE PRICE] (the “Deposit”), as an earnest money deposit on account of the Purchase Price. Within two (2) business days after receipt of the Deposit, the Title Company shall release to Seller the Deposit and the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except by reason of a default by Seller under this Agreement or failure of any condition precedent set forth in Section 4.1. Buyer shall receive credit at the Closing (as defined in Section 12.1) for an amount equal to the Deposit, and any interest accrued thereon, which shall be applied against the Purchase Price on the Closing Date (as defined in Section 12.1).
               2.2.2 Payment of Balance.

IN LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING AND ALL OF THE OTHER FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS TRANSACTION, AND FOLLOWING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER BY REASON OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER. ACCORDINGLY, BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING NOTICE TO BUYER AND TITLE COMPANY. IN THE EVENT OF SUCH TERMINATION, SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER CLAIM SELLER MAY HAVE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE) ARISING BY REASON OF

 


 

BUYER’S DEFAULT. THE PARTIES HAVE INITIALED THIS SECTION 3.2 TO ESTABLISH THEIR INTENT TO SO LIQUIDATE DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 3.2 SHALL BE DEEMED TO LIMIT BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PERFORM THE “CONTINUING OBLIGATIONS” DEFINED IN SECTION 4.3 BELOW.

quality of the Property (including the soils and groundwater on and under the Real Property); (ii) the presence or release in, under, on or about the Property (including the soils and groundwater on and under the Real Property) of any Hazardous Materials (but excluding such presence or release of Hazardous Materials as results from migration of materials from any of the property owned by Seller shown on the Parcel Map filed August 14, 2007 in Book 817 of Maps, Pages 23 to 24, in the Office of the Santa Clara County Recorder, and not included within the Land); and (iii) the ownership, management or operation of the Property. At the Closing, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate of Buyer reaffirming the foregoing. To the extent of Buyer’s release of Seller pursuant to this Agreement, Buyer hereby waives the protection of California Civil Code Section 1542, which reads as follows:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
         
Buyer’s
       
Initials:
       
 
       
However, the foregoing provisions of this Section 10.2 shall not serve to release Seller from any breach of the express representations and warranties set forth in Section 9.2 or any claims that arise out of any fraud of Seller.
          10.3 Flood Hazard Zone. Buyer acknowledges that if the Real Property is located in an area which the Secretary of HUD has found to have special flood hazards, then pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Program, Buyer will be required to purchase flood insurance in order to obtain any loan secured by the Real Property from any federally regulated financial institution or a loan insured or guaranteed by an agency of the United States government. Buyer shall have sole responsibility to determine whether the Real Property is located in an area which is subject to the National Flood Insurance Program.
          10.4 Seller’s Environmental Inquiry. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sole inquiry and investigation Seller has conducted in connection with the environmental condition of the Property is to obtain the environmental report or reports that Seller has provided to Buyer.
          10.5 Natural Hazard Disclosure Requirement Compliance. Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is required to disclose if the Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones: (1) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Cal. Civ. Code Section 1102.17); (2) an area of potential flooding (Cal. Gov. Code Section 8589.4); (3) a very high fire hazard severity zone (Cal. Gov. Code Section 51183.5); (4) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Pub. Resources Code Section 4136); (5) an earthquake fault zone (Pub.

The written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations referred to herein, and, for the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1102.4 regarding the non-liability of Seller for errors or omissions not within its personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the natural hazards referred to above. In no event shall Seller have any responsibility for matters not actually known to Seller.

Closing and shall not be deemed to be merged into, or waived by delivery or recordation of, the Deed or any other instruments delivered at the Closing.
          14.3 Rules of Construction. Where required for proper interpretation, words in the singular shall include the plural; the masculine gender shall include the neuter and the feminine, and vice versa. The headings of the Articles, Sections, and paragraphs contained in this Agreement are included only for convenience of reference and shall be disregarded in the construction and interpretation of this Agreement. References in this Agreement to Articles, Sections, and paragraphs are references to the Articles, Sections, and paragraphs contained in this Agreement. Each reference in this Agreement to an Article shall be deemed a reference to all Sections contained within such Article; each reference to a Section shall be deemed a reference to all subsections contained within such Section.

The consent or approval by Buyer or Seller to or of any act by the other party requiring the consent or approval of the first party shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary such party’s consent or approval to or of any subsequent similar acts by the other party.

          14.9 Assignment; Successors and Assigns. Buyer shall have no right to assign this Agreement or any of Buyer’s rights hereunder without first having obtained Seller’s prior written consent to such assignment, which Seller may withhold in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 14.9, Buyer may assign its rights and obligations hereunder to the extent allowed by, and subject to the terms and conditions of, Section 9 of the Grant without the consent of Seller, provided that the originally-named Buyer shall not be released from any obligation hereunder and shall provide to Seller prior written notice of any such assignment along with an assumption agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller pursuant to which the assignee assumes all of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement and documentation reasonably requested by Seller to evidence that such assignment is permitted under this Section 14.9. This Agreement, and the terms, covenants and conditions herein contained, shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs and assigns.

NOTICE I
Section 12413.1 of the California Insurance Code, effective January 1, 1990, requires that any title insurance company, underwritten title company, or controlled escrow company handling funds in an escrow or sub-escrow capacity, wait a specified number of days after depositing funds, before recording any documents in connection with the transaction or disbursing funds. This statute allows for funds deposited by wire transfer to be disbursed the same day as deposit. In the case of cashier’s checks or certified checks, funds may be disbursed the next day after deposit. In order to avoid unnecessary delays of three to seven days, or more, please use wire transfer, cashier’s checks, or certified checks whenever possible.
If you have any questions about the effect of this new law, please contact your local First American Office for more details.
NOTICE II
As of January 1, 1991, if the transaction which is the subject of this report will be a sale, you as a party to the transaction, may have certain tax reporting and withholding obligations pursuant to the state law referred to below:
In accordance with Sections 18662 and 18668 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, a buyer may be required to withhold an amount equal to three and one-third percent of the sales price in the case of the disposition of California real property interest by either.
1.   A seller who is an individual with a last known street address outside of California or when the disbursement instructions authorize the proceeds be sent to a financial intermediary of the seller, OR
 
2.   A corporate seller which has no permanent place of business in California.
The buyer may become subject to penalty for failure to withhold an amount equal to the greater of 10 percent of the amount required to be withheld or five hundred dollars ($500).
However, notwithstanding any other provision induded in the California statutes referenced above, no buyer will be required to withhold any amount or be subject to penalty for failure to withhold if:
1.   The sales price of the California real property conveyed does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), OR
 
2.   The seller executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, certifying that the seller is a resident of California, or if a corporation, has a permanent place of business in California, OR
 
3.   The seller, who is an individual, executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, that the California real property being conveyed is the seller’s principal residence (as defined in Section 1034 of the Internal Revenue Code).
The seller is subject to penalty far knowingly filing a fraudulent certificate for the purpose of avoiding the withholding requirement.
The California statutes referenced above include provisions which authorize the Franchise Tax Board to grant reduced withholding and waivers from withholding on a case-by-case basis.
The parties to this transaction should seek an attorney’s, accountant’s, or other tax specialist’s opinion concerning the effect of this law on this transaction and should not act on any statements made or omitted by the escrow or closing officer.

     1. Certain Defined Terms. The terms defined in this Section 1 shall, for the purposes of this Agreement, have the meanings specified below:

1


 

          (a) “Brocade’s Cost of Capital” shall mean the sum of the imputed monthly debt service amounts for each full or partial calendar month of Brocade’s ownership of the Project, assuming (i) a principal balance equal to the total Project Costs as of the first day of each calendar month, (ii) a per annum interest rate of five percent (5%), and (iii) monthly payments of interest only.

          (g) “Partial Transfer” shall mean a Transfer of less than the entire Project.
          (h) “Profit Participation” shall, with respect to any Transfer, mean the greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the Net Profit with respect to such Transfer, or (ii) the Minimum Payment with respect such Transfer; provided however that the Profit Participation for the last Partial Transfer to occur shall not cause the aggregate of all Profit Participation payments to exceed the greater of Eight Million Dollars ($8,000,000) or ten percent (10%) of the Net Profit with respect to all Transfers (calculated based on the aggregate Sale Consideration from all Partial Transfers less aggregate final Project Costs for the entire Project).

The foregoing notwithstanding, for purposes of calculating Net Profit for a Partial Transfer, (i) Project Costs in category (9) above shall be included only to the extent attributable to the applicable Partial Transfer, and (ii) all other Project Costs shall be prorated based on the number of Square Feet contained in the portion of the Project subject to such Partial Transfer.
          (j) “Purchaser” shall mean the third party purchaser or purchasers under a Sale Contract, or the assignees or designees of such purchaser or purchasers.
          (k) “Sale Closing” shall mean the close of escrow for a Transfer pursuant to a Sale Contract.
          (l) “Sale Consideration” shall, with respect to any Sale Contract, mean the purchase price received by Brocade from the Purchaser pursuant to such Sale Contract.
          (m) “Sale Contract” shall mean a contract between Brocade and a Purchaser pursuant to which Brocade agrees to Transfer all or any portion of the Project to such Purchaser on the terms and conditions provided in such contract.
          (n) “Square Feet” shall, with respect to any portion of the Project, mean the aggregate square footage of the Improvements contained or to be contained in such portion of the Project.
          (o) “Transfer” shall mean any transfer, sale, or other conveyance of all or any portion of the Project to a third party purchaser, but shall not include (i) any lease; (ii) any transfer, sale or conveyance of any direct or indirect ownership interest in Brocade; (iii) any transfer, sale, or other conveyance of all or any portion of the Project to an Affiliate (as defined in the Development Services Agreement) of Brocade; (iv) any deed of trust, mortgage, assignment or other transfer merely as security for the performance of any obligation, or any foreclosure or deed-in-lieu of foreclosure pursuant to any such instrument; or (v) any merger, consolidation or similar transaction relating to Brocade. A portion of the Project shall be

3


 

considered “Transferred” upon completion of a Sale Closing with respect to such portion of the Project.
     2. Profit Participation. If Brocade elects, in Brocade’s sole discretion, to Transfer all or any portion of the Project at any time on or prior to the Expiration Date, then, concurrently with each Sale Closing, Brocade will pay MFP/Hunter the Profit Participation with respect to the applicable Transfer. Upon approval of the final settlement statement for such Transfer, Brocade shall prepare and deliver to MFP/Hunter and to Escrow Holder Brocade’s calculation, made in good-faith and in Brocade’s reasonable discretion, of Net Profit with respect to such Transfer (the "Net Profit Calculation”). At each Sale Closing, the Profit Participation with respect to the applicable Transfer shall be disbursed by Escrow Holder directly to MFP/Hunter pursuant to instructions provided by MFP/Hunter, from the funds otherwise payable to Brocade at such Sale Closing. The terms and conditions of any Transfer and/or Sale Contract including, without limitation, the Sale Consideration, shall be within Brocade’s sole discretion, and MFP/Hunter shall have no right to participate in the negotiation, or approve or disapprove the terms and conditions, of any Sale Contract or Transfer. If the entire Project has not been Transferred prior to the Expiration Date, then Brocade shall pay the Expiration Payment (if any) to MFP/Hunter on the Expiration Date.
     3. Effect of Development Manager Overruns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if there is a Development Manager Overrun (as defined in the Development Services Agreement) and/or Delivery Delay Amount (as defined in the Development Services Agreement), and any unused proceeds of the Letter of Credit (as defined in the Development Services Agreement), after previous draws and applications (if any), have been received by Brocade and are insufficient to pay the entire Development Manager Overrun and/or Delivery Delay Amount (the amount of such insufficiency being referred to herein as the “Remaining Development Manager Liability”), then each Profit Participation payment and/or the Expiration Payment, as applicable, shall be reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar basis, by the amount of the Remaining Development Manager Liability until such Remaining Development Manager Liability is fully exhausted.
     4. Right of Review and Inspection. Brocade shall, within five (5) business days following receipt of a written request from MFP/Hunter given within fifteen (15) business days following MFP/Hunter’s receipt of a Net Profit Calculation, permit the review and inspection of Brocade’s records which reasonably relate to Brocade’s determination of such Net Profit Calculation. Such review and inspection may be performed by MFP/Hunter’s employees, consultants, attorneys or agents. Any such review and inspection shall take place during regular business hours at Brocade’s principal place of business, and shall be performed at MFP/Hunter’s sole cost and expense. The foregoing notwithstanding, such review or inspection shall not delay or interfere with any Sale Closing or with Brocade’s or the Purchaser’s rights or obligations under any Sale Contract.
     5. Termination.
          (a) Termination Events. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of:

4


 

          (i) The termination of the Development Services Agreement by Brocade due to an Event of Default or Hunter/Storm Change of Control (as such terms are defined in the Development Services Agreement), if (but only if) such termination occurs on or prior to July 22, 2009;
          (ii) Such time as the entire Project has been Transferred and MFP/Hunter has received Profit Participation with respect to Transfers of, in the aggregate, the entire Project; or
          (iii) The Expiration Date, and payment to MFP/Hunter of the Expiration Payment.
          (b) Effect of Termination. After termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 5(a) above, Brocade shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, and this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect.
     6. Miscellaneous.
          (a) Brokers. Brocade hereby represents and warrants to MFP/Hunter that, except for Studley, Inc. (the fees or commissions to whom, if any are due, will be paid for by Brocade pursuant to a separate agreement), it did not employ or use any broker or finder to arrange or bring about this transaction, and that there are no other claims or rights for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. MFP/Hunter hereby represents and warrants to Brocade that it did not employ or use any broker or finder to arrange or bring about this transaction, and that there are no other claims or rights for brokerage commissions or finder’s fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. If any person brings a claim against MFP/Hunter for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings, or communication with Brocade in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, then Brocade shall defend MFP/Hunter from such claim, and shall indemnify MFP/Hunter and hold MFP/Hunter harmless from any and all costs, damages, claims, liabilities, or expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by MFP/Hunter with respect to the claim.

NOTICE I
Section 12413.1 of the California Insurance Code, effective January 1, 1990, requires that any title insurance company, underwritten title company, or controlled escrow company handling funds in an escrow or sub-escrow capacity, wait a specified number of days after depositing funds, before recording any documents in connection with the transaction or disbursing funds. This statute allows for funds deposited by wire transfer to be disbursed the same day as deposit. In the case of cashier’s checks or certified checks, funds may be disbursed the next day after deposit. In order to avoid unnecessary delays of three to seven days, or more, please use wire transfer, cashier’s checks, or certified checks whenever possible.
If you have any questions about the effect of this new law, please contact your local First American Office for more details.
NOTICE II
As of January 1, 1991, if the transaction which is the subject of this report will be a sale, you as a party to the transaction, may have certain tax reporting and withholding obligations pursuant to the state law referred to below:
In accordance with Sections 18662 and 18668 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, a buyer may be required to withhold an amount equal to three and one-third percent of the sales price in the case of the disposition of California real property interest by either:
1.   A seller who is an individual with a last known street address outside of California or when the disbursement instructions authorize the proceeds be sent to a financial intermediary of the seller, OR
 
2.   A corporate seller which has no permanent place of business in California.
The buyer may become subject to penalty for failure to withhold an amount equal to the greater of 10 percent of the amount required to be withheld or five hundred dollars ($500).
However, notwithstanding any other provision included in the California statutes referenced above, no buyer will be required to withhold any amount or be subject to penalty for failure to withhold if:
1.   The sales price of the California real property conveyed does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), OR
2.   The seller executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, certifying that the seller is a resident of California, or if a corporation, has a permanent place of business in California, OR
3.   The seller, who is an individual, executes a written certificate, under the penalty of perjury, that the California real property being conveyed is the seller’s principal residence (as defined in Section 1034 of the Internal Revenue Code).
The seller is subject to penalty for knowingly filing a fraudulent certificate for the purpose of avoiding the withholding requirement.
The California statutes referenced above include provisions which authorize the Franchise Tax Board to grant reduced withholding and waivers from withholding on a case-by-case basis.
The parties to this transaction should seek an attorney’s, accountant’s, or other tax specialist’s opinion concerning the effect of this law on this transaction and should not act on any statements made or omitted by the escrow or closing officer.
The Seller May Request a Waiver by Contacting:

     C. Assignor and Assignee have entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions dated as of April ___, 2008 (the “Agreement”) pursuant to which Assignee agreed to purchase the Property from Assignor and Assignor agreed to sell the Property to Assignee on the terms and conditions contained in the Agreement.
