NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(dollars in thousands, except par value and per share amounts)
(unaudited)


1.  
Organization and Formation of the Company

Mission West Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate company that acquires and manages research and development (“R&D”)/office properties in the portion of the San Francisco Bay Area commonly referred to as Silicon Valley. In July 1998, the Company purchased an approximate 12.11% of four existing limited partnerships (referred to collectively as the “operating partnerships”) and obtained control of these partnerships by becoming the sole general partner in each one effective July 1, 1998 for financial accounting and reporting purposes. All limited partnership interests in the operating partnerships were converted into 59,479,633 operating partnership (“O.P.”) units, which represented a limited partnership ownership int erest of approximately 87.89% of the operating partnerships. The operating partnerships are the vehicles through which the Company holds its real estate investments, makes real estate acquisitions, and generally conducts its business.

On December 30, 1998, the Company was reincorporated under the laws of the State of Maryland through a merger with and into Mission West Properties, Inc. Accordingly, shares of the former company, Mission West Properties, a California corporation (no par), which were outstanding at December 30, 1998, were converted into shares of common stock, $.001 par value per share, on a one-for-one basis.

As of September 30, 2010, the Company owned a controlling general partnership interest of 24.44%, 21.86%, 16.32% and 12.52% in Mission West Properties, L.P., Mission West Properties, L.P. I, Mission West Properties, L.P. II and Mission West Properties, L.P. III, respectively, which represents a 20.83% general partnership interest in the operating partnerships, taken as a whole, on a consolidated weighted average basis.

Through the operating partnerships, the Company owns interests in 112 R&D/office properties, all of which are located in the Silicon Valley.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Accordingly, no provision has been made for income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

Business Segment Information
The Company’s primary business is the ownership and management of R&D/office real estate with a geographic concentration in the Silicon Valley of the San Francisco Bay Area. Accordingly, the Company has concluded it currently has a single reportable segment for the Segment Reporting Topic of the Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification (“FASB ASC”) 280 purposes.

Basis of Presentation

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of the Company, however, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the Company’s consolidated financial position as of September 30, 2010, their consolidated results of operations fo r the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and their cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. All significant inter-company balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The condensed consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2010 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and related footnote disclosures are unaudited. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year.

The December 31, 2009 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Effective July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) established the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) as the primary source of authoritative GAAP recognized by the FASB to be applied to nongovernmental entities. Although the establishment of the ASC did not change current GAAP, it did change the way we refer to GAAP throughout this document to reflect the updated referencing convention.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, CONTINUED
(dollars in thousands, except par value and per share amounts)
(unaudited)

The Company evaluates all joint venture arrangements for consolidation. The percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity (“VIE”) exists are all considered in determining if the arrangement qualifies for consolidation in accordance with the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810. As of September 30, 2010, the Company consolidated one VIE in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet in connection with an assignment of a lease agreement with an unrelated party, M&M Real Estate Control & Restructuring, LLC. See Note 3 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements below for further discussion of this transaction.

Stock-Based Option Compensation Accounting
The Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 718 addresses the accounting for stock options. It requires that the cost of all employee, director and consultant stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards. It is applicable to any award that is settled or measured in stock, including stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, stock units, and employee stock purchase plans. At September 30, 2010, the Company had one stock-based compensation plan.

The following table shows the activity and detail for the 2004 Equity Incentive Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

The Company measures compensation cost for its stock options at fair value on the date of grant and recognizes compensation expense relating to the remaining unvested portion of outstanding stock options at the time of adoption ratably over the vesting period, generally four years. The fair value of the Company’s stock options is determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Compensation expense related to the Company’s share-based awards is included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. Under the Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 718, the Company recorded approximately $52 and $109 of expense for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, res pectively, and approximately $109 and $243 of expense for share-based compensation relating to grants of stock options for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of September 30, 2010, the total amount of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the compensation plan was approximately $92. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.19 years.

The Company adopted the noncontrolling interest provisions of the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810 effective January 1, 2009. It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in a consolidated entity, which should be reported as equity in the parent’s consolidated financial statements. It requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated statement of operations, of those amounts of consolidated net income and other comprehensive other income attributable to controlling and noncontrolling interests, eliminating the past practice of reporting amounts of income attributable to noncontrolling interests as an adjustment in arriving at consolidated net income.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the December 31, 2009 and September 30, 2010 carrying amounts for equity and the related amounts of equity attributable to stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests:

Noncontrolling interests represent the aggregate partnership interest in the operating partnership held by the operating partnership limited partner unit holders. Income allocated to noncontrolling interests is based on the unit holders’ ownership percentage of the operating partnership. Because an O.P. unit is generally redeemable for cash or a share of common stock at the option of the Company, it is deemed to be equivalent to a share of common stock.  Therefore, such transactions are treated as capital transactions and result in an allocation between stockholders’ equity and noncontrolling interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets to account for the change in the ownership of the underlying equity in the operating partnerships. The Company’s noncontrolling interests represent th e separate private ownership of the operating partnerships by the Berg Group (defined as Carl E. Berg, his brother Clyde J. Berg, members of their respective immediate families, and certain entities they control) and other non-affiliate interests. As of September 30, 2010, these interests accounted for approximately 79.2% of the ownership interests in the real estate operations of the Company on a consolidated weighted average basis. The amount of noncontrolling interests in net income is calculated by taking the net income of the operating partnerships (on a stand-alone basis) multiplied by the respective weighted average noncontrolling interests’ ownership percentage.

Allocation of corporate general and administrative expenses to the operating partnerships is performed based upon shares and O. P. units outstanding for each operating partnership in relation to the total for all four operating partnerships.

Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made to the previously reported 2009 condensed consolidated financial statements in order to conform to the 2010 presentation.

The following notes highlight significant changes to the notes to the Company’s December 31, 2009 audited consolidated financial statements and should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on March 16, 2010.

Accounting Standards
The Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810 provides a new accounting provision regarding the consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”). The new accounting provision modifies the existing quantitative guidance used in determining the primary beneficiary of a VIE by requiring entities to qualitatively assess whether an enterprise is a primary beneficiary, based on whether the entity has (i) power over the significant activities of the VIE, and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  Additionally, the accounting provision requires an ongoing reconsideration o f the primary beneficiary and provides a framework for the events that triggers a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE. The new accounting provision became effective for all new and existing VIEs on January 1, 2010. Upon adoption, the Company re-evaluated its interest in M&M Real Estate Control & Restructuring, LLC. Based on the evaluation performed, management has concluded that there is no change from its initial assessment and continues to consolidate the entity.

Effective February 2010, the Company adopted new accounting provisions which remove the requirement for the Company to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated in issued financial statements. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date the consolidated financial statements were issued.

3.  
Variable Interest Entity

Under the VIE provisions of the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810, a VIE must be consolidated by a company if it is subject to a majority of the entity’s expected losses or is entitled to receive a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns or both. In addition, the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810 requires disclosures about variable interest entities that a company is not required to consolidate, but in which it has a significant variable interest.

Under the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810, for an entity to qualify as a VIE one or more of the following three characteristics must exist:

1.  
The equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support by any parties, including the equity holders.
2.  
The equity investors lack one or more of the following essential characteristics of a controlling financial interest:

a.  
The direct or indirect ability to make decisions about the entity’s activities through voting or similar rights.
b.  
The obligation to absorb the expected loss of the entity.
c.  
The right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity.

3.  
The equity investors have voting rights that are not proportionate to their economic interests, and the activities of the entity involve or are conducted on behalf of an investor with a disproportionately small voting interest.

In August 2007, one of the Company’s tenants, Ciena, entered into an assignment of lease agreement with an unrelated party, M&M Real Estate Control & Restructuring, LLC (“M&M Real Estate”), in connection with leases for approximately 445,000 rentable square feet located in San Jose, California. As a result of the Assignment, M&M Real Estate assumed all of Ciena’s remaining obligations under these leases and received a payment from Ciena of $53,000, of which $7,000 was reserved for tenant improvements. At the same time, the Company entered into a consent for assignment of lease with both parties and a mutual release agreement with Ciena, pursuant to which all of Ciena’s obligations under these leases were effectively transferred to M&M Real Estate. M&M Real Estate is obligated to co ntinue to perform all of the obligations under the assumed Ciena leases and has the right to sublease any or all of the 445,000 rentable square feet vacated by Ciena for the remainder of the current lease term, which expire in 2011. Under the terms of the assignment of lease agreement, the Company received monthly rent payments of approximately $789 from July 2007 through June 2008, received $818 from July 2008 through June 2009, received $849 from July 2009 through June 2010, is receiving $881 from July 2010 through June 2011 and will receive $915 from July 2011 through December 2011. Based upon the provisions of the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810, the Company determined that M&M Real Estate is a VIE. The Company further determined that it is the primary beneficiary of this VIE, and therefore has consolidated this entity for financial reporting purposes. Upon consolidation, the Company recognized a lease termination fee of $46,000 in Augu st 2007.

Factors considered by the Company in determining whether M&M Real Estate should be considered a VIE for financial reporting purposes included the following:

·  
No equity was contributed by the partners in the formation of M&M Real Estate.
·  
At present, the assigned leases are the only properties under management by M&M Real Estate.
·  
M&M Real Estate does not have an operating history that demonstrates its ability to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support.
·  
All revenues, other than interest income, are generated by M&M Real Estate from the Company in the form of fees or commissions.

The Company remains at risk with respect to the assigned leases because if M&M Real Estate’s operating expenses exceed its interest income, fees and commissions there would be insufficient funds to meet the assigned lease obligation without additional financial support from equity holders or other parties. The Company, which had released the original tenants from its obligations under the leases, would have to absorb the majority of any loss, making it the primary beneficiary of M&M Real Estate’s activities.

4.  
Restricted Cash

Restricted cash totaled approximately $89 on September 30, 2010. The entire amount represents cash held by M&M Real Estate, a consolidated VIE. The Company does not have possession or control over these funds or any right to receive them except in accordance with the payment terms of the lease agreement that has been assigned to the VIE and any other additional agreements with the VIE.

5.  
Restricted Investment in Marketable Securities

The Company adjusts marketable securities to fair value at the end of each accounting period, with the corresponding gain and loss recorded in realized and unrealized gain and loss from investment in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations. Restricted investment in marketable securities totaled $0 as of September 30, 2010. In the second quarter of 2010, all of the marketable securities were sold for a net total of approximately $15,913. The Company realized a net cash gain of approximately $9,601, which includes approximately $298 in cash dividends received during the holding period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, the Company recorded net realized and unrealized gain of approximately $4,067 related to the sale of the marketable securities and the increase in fair value of the marketable sec urities. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company recorded unrealized gain of approximately $4,140 related to the increase in fair value of the marketable securities. The Company used the proceeds from the sale to pay down its short-term borrowings from the Berg Group.

In accordance with the provisions of the Investments–Debt and Equity Securities Topic of the FASB ASC 320, investments in debt and equity “marketable” securities are classified at acquisition, and on subsequent reporting dates, into one of the following categories: (a) Trading Securities - debt and equity securities purchased and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near future. (b) Available-for-Sale Securities - debt securities not classified as held-to-maturity, and debt and equity securities not classified as trading securities. (c) Held-to-Maturity Debt Securities - those debt securities for which the company has the “positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.”

The Company’s restricted investment in marketable securities was classified as a trading security, and accordingly unrealized gains and losses (differences between the initial cost and the fair value at the balance sheet date) were included in net income, and interest and dividend revenue, as well as realized gains and losses on sales, were included in net income. The marketable securities were classified as Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy in accordance with the provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC 820 and thus measured at fair value using quoted market prices for identical instruments in active markets from an independent third party source.

6.  
Stock Transactions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2010, stock options to purchase 10,859 shares of the Company’s common stock were exercised at $6.14 per share. Total proceeds to the Company were approximately $67. During the same period, three limited partners exchanged a total of 132,000 O.P. units for 132,000 shares of the Company’s common stock under the terms of the Exchange Rights Agreement among the Company and all limited partners of the operating partnerships resulting in a reclassification of approximately $911 from noncontrolling interests to stockholders’ equity. Neither the Company nor the operating partnerships received any proceeds from the issuance of the common stock in exchange for O.P. units. Under the limited partnership agreements, each exchange is treated as the purchase of additional O.P. units of the general partner interest by the Company in exchange for stock, and the contribution of additional capital to the partnership by the Company equal in amount to the value of the stock issued in exchange for the limited partnership interests.

7.  
Net Income Per Share

Basic operating net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted operating net income per share is computed by dividing net income by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities using the treasury stock method.

The computation for weighted average shares is detailed below:

 
Three Months Ended September 30,
 
Nine Months Ended September 30,
 
2010
 
2009
 
2010
 
2009
Weighted average shares outstanding (basic)
21,976,679
 
21,770,211
 
21,938,857
 
21,717,713
Incremental shares from assumed option exercise
132,712
 
132,176
 
156,745
 
140,354
Weighted average shares outstanding (diluted)
22,109,391
 
21,902,387
 
22,095,602
 
21,858,067

At September 30, 2010, outstanding options to purchase 2,223,500 and 2,052,500 shares of common stock were excluded from the computation of diluted net income per share under the treasury stock method for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010, respectively, because the option exercise price was greater than the weighted average closing price of the Company’s common stock during the period. The outstanding O.P. units, which are exchangeable at the unit holder’s option, subject to certain conditions, for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis have been excluded from the diluted net income per share calculation, as there would be no effect on the calculation after adding the noncontrolling interests’ share of income back to net income. The total number of O.P. units outstanding at September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 83,272,965 and 83,504,965, respectively.

8.  
Related Party Transactions

As of September 30, 2010, the Berg Group owned 75,826,384 O.P. units. The Berg Group’s combined ownership of O.P. units and shares of common stock as of September 30, 2010 represented approximately 74% of the total equity interests, assuming conversion of all O.P. units outstanding into the Company’s common stock.

As of September 30, 2010, debt in the amount of approximately $7,860 was due the Berg Group under a mortgage note established May 15, 2000 in connection with the acquisition of a 50% interest in Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership, the obligor under the mortgage note. The mortgage note bears interest at 7.65% and principal payments are amortized over 20 years. Interest expense incurred in connection with the mortgage note was approximately $152 and $162 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $464 and $493 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

As of September 30, 2010, debt in the amount of $0 was due the Berg Group under a short-term note. During the first nine months of 2010, the Company borrowed a total of approximately $52,963 from the Berg Group under a short-term note payable in connection with the quarterly dividend distributions and repaid $62,288 to the Berg Group, which included the balance owed at December 31, 2009. The note payable interest was calculated at LIBOR plus 1.75%. Interest expense incurred in connection with the loan was approximately $62 and $40 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $375 and $61 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

On September 17, 2009, the Superior Court of the County of Santa Clara of the State of California issued a final decision and entry of judgment in favor of Republic Properties Corporation in the case of Mission West Properties, L.P. v. Republic Properties Corporation. The court’s decision held that Republic Properties Corporation is entitled to retain its partnership interest in the Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership and all prior unpaid distributions must be paid to Republic Properties Corporation by Mission West Properties L.P., one of the Company’s controlled operating partnerships. Because Republic Properties Corporation’s interest in the Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership had been transferred to Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. after the interest had been forfeited under the terms of the partnership agreement and past distributions from profits on account of that interest had been paid to Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc., the Company accrued approximately $1,021 in interest receivable in 2009 due from Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. with respect to those payments. The interest income accrual was calculated at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%. See Note 9 to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements below for details.

During the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, Carl E. Berg or entities controlled by him held financial interests in several companies that lease space from the operating partnerships, which include companies where Mr. Berg has a greater than 10% ownership interest. These related tenants contributed approximately $277 and $273 in rental income for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $824 and $845 in rental revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Under the Company’s charter, bylaws and agreements with the Berg Group, the individual members of the Berg Group are prohibited from acquiring or holding shares of the Company’s common stock if such acquisition would result in their beneficial ownership percentage of the Company’s common stock causing the Company to violate any REIT qualification requirement. Currently their share ownership is below a level at which rent from related tenants would be excluded in determining compliance with REIT qualification tests.

The Berg Group has a commitment to pay approximately $7,500 toward the construction of  an approximately 75,000 to 90,000 square foot building in connection with the Company’s 2001 acquisition of 245 Caspian in Sunnyvale which is comprised of approximately three acres of unimproved land. The Company has recorded this portion of the purchase price paid to the Berg Group in “Other assets” on its condensed consolidated balance sheets.  The Berg Group plans to satisfy this commitment to construct a building when requested by the Company following the approval of the Independent Directors Committee. Currently there is no tenant or prospective tenant demand for a building at this site that would justify the construction of a new building to which this commitment could be applied.

The Company currently leases office space owned by Berg & Berg Enterprises for the Company’s headquarters. Rental amounts and overhead reimbursements paid to Berg & Berg Enterprises were $30 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, and $90 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009.

9.  
Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is engaged in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company does not expect any of such proceedings to have a material adverse effect on its cash flows, financial condition or results of operations. The Company is currently involved in the following legal proceeding, which it believes will not have a material adverse effect on its operating results, cash flows or financial condition.

Mission West Properties, L.P. v. Republic Properties Corporation, et al. Santa Clara County Superior Court, Case No. CV 796249. Republic Properties Corporation (“RPC”) is a former 50% partner with Mission West Properties, L.P. in the Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership (“Hellyer LP”), which was formed in July 2000. Under the terms of the Hellyer LP partnership agreement and other related contracts, Mission West Properties, L.P. (“MWP”) had the right to obtain RPC’s entire interest in Hellyer LP in the event of certain payment defaults which occurred in August 2000. Therefore, on September 1, 2000, MWP, as the general partner of Hellyer LP, ceased all allocations of income and cash flow to RPC and exercised its right under the partnership agreement to cancel RPC’s entire interest in the partnership. Following discussions with and approval by the Independent Directors Committee, the Company authorized the transfer of RPC’s interest in Hellyer LP to Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. (“BBE”). Under the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement and the Acquisition Agreement dated as of May 14, 1998, the Company acting through the Independent Directors Committee had the right, but not the obligation, to reacquire the property interest and the related distributions related to the property interest at any time. The transfer was effective as of September 1, 2000. On November 20, 2000, RPC commenced a lawsuit against MWP in the Circuit Court of Maryland for Baltimore City. After lengthy litigation, which included a trial on the merits and subsequent appeals, in April 2006, Maryland’s highest court upheld an earlier Maryland Appeals Court ruling in favor of MWP, finding that the Circuit Court of Maryland could not assert persona l jurisdiction over MWP in Maryland. The court vacated the judgment and decision in the trial court and dismissed the entire Maryland suit. In February 2001, while the Maryland case was pending, the Company filed a suit against RPC in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of

Santa Clara. The case was stayed pending resolution of the Maryland case, and the Company dismissed its suit on March 4, 2005. In April 2005, RPC submitted a motion asking the Superior Court to reinstate the case, which the Court granted on May 25, 2005. A trial in the superior court commenced in February 2009. On September 17, 2009, the superior court issued a final decision and entry of judgment in favor of RPC upholding its interest in Hellyer L.P. and awarding damages of approximately $6,625, together with pre-judgment interest at a 10% annual rate through September 3, 2009 of $2,692, for a total of approximately $9,317. As a result, the Company recorded an additional $469 in interest expense. The Company has filed an appeal. On October 5, 2009, the Company deposited approximately $13,975 with the clerk of the Santa Clara County Superior Court, of which approximately $4,658, or 50% of $9,317, was a deposit to appeal the court’s final decision. The additional $4,658 appeal deposit is refundable regardless of the outcome of the appeal process. Pending the outcome of the appeal, the Company has accrued approximately $3,702 in interest payable on the amount of past distributions that would be payable to RPC by Hellyer LP based on the amount of the judgment at the legal rate of interest of 10%. In addition, the Company has accrued approximately $1,021 in interest receivable due from BBE because past distributions with respect to RPC’s interest in Hellyer LP were paid to BBE, which interest income accrual was calculated at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.25%.

Since the inception of Hellyer LP, the Company has accounted for the properties owned by the partnership on a consolidated basis, with reductions for the noncontrolling interests held by the noncontrolling partner (first RPC and then BBE). In each period, the Company has accrued amounts payable by Hellyer LP to the noncontrolling interest partner, including BBE prior to payment. BBE's share of earnings allocated to its 50% noncontrolling interest was approximately $737 and $1,040 in the first nine months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. As of September 30, 2010, accumulated cash flow distributions from Hellyer LP totaling approximately $7,112 were accrued and distributed to BBE. If the Company's litigation with RPC is ultimately decided in RPC's favor, the Company anticipates that BBE will be required to return all distributions paid t o BBE and RPC's former interest in Hellyer LP to RPC. In anticipation of this contingency, since October 2003, the Company has recorded such distributions as an account receivable from BBE, which is included in "Other assets" on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, with an offsetting account payable to BBE.

The Independent Directors Committee of the Board of Directors has exercised the Company’s right to acquire on behalf of the Company the former RPC interest and related distributions from Berg & Berg Enterprises, Inc. under the terms of the Berg Land Holdings Option Agreement between the Company and the Berg Group if the litigation is ultimately decided in favor of the Company.

Guarantees and Indemnities
Under its articles of incorporation and bylaws, the Company has agreed to indemnify its officers and directors for certain events or occurrences arising as a result of the officer or director’s serving in such capacity. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company believes the estimated fair value of its obligations under these indemnification agreements is minimal and has recorded no liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2010.

The Company also enters into indemnification provisions under its agreements with other companies in the ordinary course of business, typically with lenders, joint venture partners, contractors, and tenants. Under these provisions the Company typically agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party as a result of certain kinds of activities or inactions of the Company. These indemnification provisions generally survive termination of the underlying agreement. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements. As a result, the Company believes the e stimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has recorded no liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2010.

Seismic Activity
The Company’s properties are located in an active seismic area of Silicon Valley. Insurance policies currently maintained by the Company do not cover seismic activity, although they do cover losses from fires after an earthquake.

Environmental Issues
The environmental investigations that have been conducted on the Company’s properties have not revealed any environmental liability that the Company believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations and assets, and the Company is not aware of any such liability. Nonetheless, it is possible that there are material environmental liabilities of which the Company is unaware. In addition, the Company cannot assure that future laws, ordinances, or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or that the current environmental condition of the properties has not been, or will not be, affected by tenants and occupants of the properties, by the condition of properties in the vicinity of the properties, or by third parties unrelated to the Company.

The real estate sales provisions of the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC 360 addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment and disposal of long lived assets. In general, income or loss attributable to the operations and sale of property and the operations related to property held for sale is classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Prior period condensed consolidated statements of operations presented in this report have been reclassified to reflect the income or loss related to properties that were under contract to be sold and presented as discontinued operations in 2009. All periods presented in this report will likely require further reclassification in future periods if there are prop erties held for sale or property sales occur.

As of September 30, 2010, there was one property under contract to be sold or otherwise disposed of which would qualify as assets held for sale and presented as discontinued operations. See Note 11 below for details of the property sale. Condensed results of operations for this property for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto under Part I, Item 1 of this Report and our audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009. The results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 2010.

Forward-Looking Information

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with these safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project" or similar expressions. Additionally, all disclosures under Part I, Item 3 constitute forward-looking statements. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inheren tly uncertain.

Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects or would cause actual results in the future to differ materially from any of our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

·  
the current turmoil in the credit markets could limit the demands for R&D space and affect the overall availability and cost of credit,
·  
economic conditions generally and the real estate market specifically,
·  
the occupancy rates of the properties,
·  
rental rates on new and renewed leases,
·  
legislative or regulatory provisions (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs),
·  
availability of capital,
·  
interest rates,
·  
competition,
·  
supply of and demand for R&D, office and industrial properties in our current and proposed market areas,
·  
tenant defaults and bankruptcies,
·  
lease term expirations and renewals,
·  
changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs, and
·  
ability to timely refinance maturing debt obligations and the terms of any such refinancing.

These risks and uncertainties, together with the other risks described under Part I, Item 1A - “Risk Factors” of our 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K and from time to time in our other reports and documents filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Overview

We acquire, market, lease, and manage R&D/office properties, primarily located in the Silicon Valley portion of the San Francisco Bay Area.  As of September 30, 2010, we owned and managed 112 properties totaling approximately 8.1 million rentable square feet through four limited partnerships, or operating partnerships, for which we are the sole general partner. This class of property is designed for research and development and office uses and, in some cases, includes space for light manufacturing operations with loading docks. We believe that we have one of the largest portfolios of R&D/office properties in the Silicon Valley. As of September 30, 2010, two tenants individually leased in excess of 300,000 rentable square feet from us: Microsoft Corporation and Apple, Inc.

For federal income tax purposes, we have operated as a self-managed, self-administered and fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) since the beginning of fiscal 1999.

Our acquisition, growth and operating strategy incorporates the following elements:

·  
capitalizing on opportunistic acquisitions from third parties of high-quality R&D/office properties that provide attractive initial yields and significant potential for growth in cash-flow;
·  
focusing on general purpose, single-tenant Silicon Valley R&D/office properties for information technology companies in order to maintain low operating costs, reduce tenant turnover and capitalize on our relationships with these companies and our extensive knowledge of their real estate needs; and
·  
maintaining prudent financial management principles that emphasize current cash flow while building long-term value, the acquisition of pre-leased properties to reduce development and leasing risks and the maintenance of sufficient liquidity to acquire and finance properties on desirable terms.

Current Economic Environment

All of our properties are located in the Northern California area known as Silicon Valley, which generally consists of portions of Santa Clara County, Southwestern Alameda County, Southeastern San Mateo County and Eastern Santa Cruz County. Historically, the Silicon Valley R&D property market has fluctuated with the local economy. The Silicon Valley economy and business activity slowed markedly from 2001 through 2006 and grew slowly until the second half of 2008. Since September 2008, the impact of the worldwide recession has adversely affected the local economy. According to a recent report by Cassidy Turley BT Commercial Real Estate (the “CTBT Report”), which we consider to be a useful publicly available source of relevant market data, the vacancy rate for Silicon Valley R&D property was approximately 19.3% in lat e 2009 and 19.1% at the end of the third quarter of 2010. Total vacant R&D square footage in Silicon Valley at the end of the third quarter of 2010 amounted to approximately 29.9 million square feet, of which 12.7%, or 3.8 million square feet, were being offered under subleases. According to the CTBT Report, total negative net absorption (which is the computation of gross square footage leased less gross new square footage vacated for the period presented) in 2009 amounted to approximately 5.2 million square feet, and in the first nine months of 2010 there was total negative net absorption of approximately 0.28 million square feet. Also according to the CTBT Report, the average asking market rent per square foot at the end of the third quarter of 2010 was $1.00 per month compared with $1.03 per month in late 2009. The Silicon Valley R&D property market is characterized by a substantial number of submarkets, with rent and vacancy rates varying by submarket and location within each submarket. Individua l properties within any particular submarket presently may be leased above or below the current average asking market rental rates within that submarket and the region as a whole. Due to the substantial overhang of vacant R&D properties throughout Silicon Valley, we believe that we are unlikely to see a sustainable recovery in the leasing market for our properties prior to 2012.

Our occupancy rate at September 30, 2010 was 67.8% compared with 65.7% at September 30, 2009. We believe that our occupancy rate could decline further if key tenants seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, consolidate operations or discontinue operations. In addition, excluding 53,000 rentable square feet of month-to-month lease, leases with respect to approximately 48,000 rentable square feet are scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2010 and approximately 739,000 rentable square feet are scheduled to expire in 2011. The properties subject to these leases may take anywhere from 24 to 40 months or longer to re-lease. We believe that the average 2010 renewal rental rates for our properties will be approximately equal to, or perhaps below, current market rents, but we cannot give any assurance that leases will be renewed or that av ailable space will be re-leased at rental rates equal to or above the current quoted market rates.

Despite our strategic focus on single tenant properties and leases, in order to meet market conditions, we have been, and expect to continue leasing less than the entire premises of some of our R&D properties to a single tenant from time to time. Leasing our R&D properties, which generally have been built for single tenant occupancy, to multiple tenants can increase our leasing costs and operating expenses and reduce the profitability of our leasing activities.

If we are unable to lease a significant portion of any vacant space or space subject to expiring leases; if we experience significant tenant defaults as a result of the current economic downturn; if we are not able to lease space at or above current market rates; if we restructure existing leases and lower existing rents in order to retain tenants for an extended term; or if we increase our lease costs and operating expenses substantially to accommodate multiple tenants in our R&D properties, our results of operations and cash flows will be affected adversely. Furthermore, in this event it is probable that our board of directors will reduce the quarterly dividend on the common stock and the outstanding O.P. units. Our operating results and ability to pay dividends at current levels remain subject to a number of material risks, as i ndicated under the caption “Forward-Looking Information” above and in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We prepare the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires us to make certain estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and related footnotes. Accounting and disclosure decisions with respect to material transactions that are subject to significant management judgments or estimates include impairment of long lived assets, deferred rent reserves, and allocation of purchase price relating to property acquisitions and the related depreciable lives assigned.  Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Critical accounting policies are defined as those that require management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions, giving due consideration to materiality, in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements, and potentially result in materially different results under different conditions and assumptions. We believe that the following best describe our critical accounting policies:
 
 
 
-14-

 

Business Combinations. The provisions of the Business Combinations Topic of the FASB ASC 805 state that the fair value of the real estate acquired is allocated to acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and tenant improvements, and identified intangible assets and liabilities, consisting of the value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and the value of tenant relationships, based in each case on their fair values. The determination of the tangible and intangible assets’ useful lives are guided by the provision. The provision requires that acquisition-related costs and restructuring costs be recognized separately from the business combination and expensed as incurred.

The capitalized above-market lease values and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an adjustment to rental income over the initial lease term while amortization of in-place lease value intangible asset is included in depreciation and amortization in the expense section of our condensed consolidated statements of operations. If we do not appropriately allocate these components or we incorrectly estimate the useful lives of these components, our computation of depreciation and amortization expense may not appropriately reflect the actual impact of these costs over future periods, which will affect net income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We review real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with the impairment provisions of the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC 360. We evaluate the recoverability of our investments in real estate assets to be held and used each quarter and record an impairment charge when there is an indicator of impairment and the undiscounted projected cash flows are less than the carrying amount for a particular property. If impairment is recognized, the reduced carrying amount of the asset will be accounted for at its new cost. For a depreciable asset, the new cost will be depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life. Generally, fair values are estimated using discounted cash flow, replacement cost or market comparison analyses. The process of evaluating for impairment requires estimates as to future events and our views of market and economic conditions, which are subject to varying market factors, such as the vacancy rates, future rental rates, lease periods, deferred maintenance and operating costs for R&D facilities in the Silicon Valley area and related submarkets. Therefore, it is reasonably possible that a change in estimate resulting from judgments as to future events could occur which would affect the recorded amounts of the property.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts and Deferred Rent. We must estimate the uncollectibility of our accounts receivable based on the evaluation of our tenants’ financial position, analyses of accounts receivable and current economic trends. We also make estimates for reserves against our deferred rent receivable for existing tenants with the potential of early termination, bankruptcy or ceasing operations. We charge or credit rental income for increases or decreases to our deferred rent reserves. Our estimates are based on our review of tenants’ payment histories, the remaining lease term, whether or not the tenant is currently occupying our building, publicly available financial information and such additional information about their financial condition as tenants provid e to us. The information available to us might lead us to overstate or understate these reserve amounts. The use of different estimates or assumptions could produce different results. Moreover, actual future collections of accounts receivable or reductions in future reported rental income due to tenant bankruptcies or other business failures could differ materially from our estimates.

Consolidated Joint Ventures. We, through an operating partnership, own three properties that are in joint ventures of which we have controlling interests. We manage and operate all three properties. We recognize these properties and 100% of their operating results in our condensed consolidated financial statements, with appropriate allocation to noncontrolling interests, because we have operational and financial control of the investments. We make judgments and assumptions about the estimated monthly payments made to our noncontrolling interest joint venture partners, which are reported with our periodic results of operations. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Venture. We evaluate all joint venture arrangements for consolidation. The percentage interest in the joint venture, evaluation of control and whether a variable interest entity (“VIE”) exists are all considered in determining if the arrangement qualifies for consolidation in accordance with the VIE provisions of the Consolidation Topic of the FASB ASC 810. We, through an operating partnership, have a 50% non-controlling limited partnership interest in one unconsolidated joint venture. This investment is not consolidated because we do not exercise significant control over major operating and financial decisions. We account for this  joint venture interest using the equity method of accounting.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments. We adopted the provisions of the Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures Topic of the FASB ASC 820 for our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The provisions define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. It also specifies a three-level hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs) or reflect its own assumptions of market particip ant valuation (unobservable inputs) and requires the use of observable inputs if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The only financial asset or liability recorded at fair value in our consolidated financial statements is the restricted investment in marketable securities. We determined the fair value for the marketable securities using quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.

 
 
-15-

 
Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and debt.  Considerable judgment is required in interpreting market data to develop estimates of fair value. Our estimates of fair value are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable are carried at amounts that approximate their fair values due to their short-term maturities. The carrying amounts of our variable rate debt approximate fair value since the interest rates on these instruments are equivalent to rates currently offered to us. For fixed rate debt, we estimate fair value by using discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates for similar kinds of borrowing arrangements.

Stock-Based Compensation. The Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 718 requires that the cost of all employee, director and consultant stock options, as well as other equity-based compensation arrangements, be reflected in the financial statements based on the estimated fair value of the awards. It is applicable to any award that is settled or measured in stock, including stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, stock units, and employee stock purchase plans. Compensation cost under the Compensation-Stock Compensation Topic of the FASB ASC 718 may differ due to different assumptions and treatment of forfeitures.

Revenue Recognition. Rental income is recognized on the straight-line method of accounting required by GAAP under which contractual rent payment increases are recognized evenly over the lease term, regardless of when the rent payments are received by us. The difference between recognized rental income and rental cash receipts is recorded as “deferred rent receivable” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Rental income is affected if existing tenants terminate or amend their leases. We try to identify tenants who may be likely to declare bankruptcy, cease operations or are likely to seek a negotiated settlement of their obligation. By anticipating these events in advance, we expect to take steps to minimize their impact on our reported results of operations through lease renegotiations, reserves against deferred rent, and other appropriate measures. Our judgments and estimations about tenants’ capacity to continue to meet their lease obligations will affect the rental income recognized. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of our rental income for any period if we made different judgments or estimations.

The real estate sales provisions of the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC 360 establish accounting standards for recognizing profit or loss on sales of real estate. The gain on the sale is only recognized proportionately as the seller receives payments from the purchaser. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis, when appropriate.

Lease termination fees are recognized as other income when there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, and when the tenant no longer has the right to occupy the property. These fees are paid by tenants who want to terminate their lease obligations before the end of the contractual term of the lease. We cannot predict or forecast the timing or amounts of future lease termination fees.

We recognize income from rent, tenant reimbursements and lease termination fees and other income once all of the following criteria are met:

·  
the agreement has been fully executed and delivered;
·  
services have been rendered;
·  
the amount is fixed and determinable; and
·  
collectibility is reasonably assured.

With regard to critical accounting policies, where applicable, we have explained and discussed the criteria for identification and selection, methodology in application and impact on the financial statements with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. The Audit Committee has reviewed the critical accounting policies we identified.

Results of Operations

Comparison of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009

As of September 30, 2010, through our controlling interests in the operating partnerships, we owned 112 properties totaling approximately 8.1 million rentable square feet compared with 111 properties totaling approximately 8.0 million rentable square feet owned by us as of September 30, 2009. The increase in total rentable square footage was due to the acquisition of an R&D/office property consisting of approximately 41,400 rentable square feet since the third quarter of 2009.

Comparison of rental income from real estate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

“Same Property” is defined as properties owned by us prior to 2009 that we still owned as of September 30, 2010.

Rental Income from Real Estate Operations
For the quarter ended September 30, 2010, rental income from real estate increased by approximately $0.2 million, or 0.8%, from $20.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $20.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, rental income from real estate increased by approximately $0.6 million, or 0.9%, from $61.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $62.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. In both periods, the increase in rental income resulted primarily from new leases since September 30, 2009. Our occupancy rate at September 30, 2010 was approximately 67.8%, compared with 65.7% at September 30, 2009.

Other Income
Other income of approximately $0.28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 included approximately $0.25 million from management fees and $0.03 million from miscellaneous income. Other income of approximately $0.28 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 included approximately $0.25 million from management fees and $0.03 million from miscellaneous income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, other income of approximately $2.14 million included approximately $0.76 million from management fees, $1.28 million from litigation proceeds and $0.10 million from miscellaneous income. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009, other income of approximately $0.91 million included approximately $0.74 million from management fees, $0.06 million from an insurance claim and $0.11 million from miscellaneous i ncome.

Expenses from Operations
Property operating, maintenance and property taxes for the third quarter of 2010 and 2009 were approximately $6.7 million. Tenant reimbursements decreased by approximately ($1.4) million, or (31.6%), from $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 due to a one-time $1.0 million refund to a tenant relating to annual common area charges reconciliation. We anticipated supplemental tax assessments from the county tax assessor for completed improvements at the tenant’s property. The tenant was paying a monthly estimated property tax amount in addition to rent. However, the county tax assessor has not issued a supplemental tax assessment to date, and we no longer felt that it was reasonable to continue to retain the tenant’s overpayment for property taxes. The county tax assessor may eventually issue a supplemental tax assessment in the future, which the tenant will be liable. The level of tenant reimbursements is affected by vacancies because certain recurring expenses such as property insurance, property taxes, and other fixed operating expenses are not recoverable from vacant properties. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010, property operating, maintenance and property taxes decreased by approximately ($0.5) million, or (2.6%), from $19.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $19.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.

General and administrative expenses remained relatively the same at approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, general and administrative expenses decreased by approximately ($0.1) million, or (4.7%), from $1.7 million to $1.6 million, respectively. The decrease was primarily the result of lower stock-based compensation expense in 2010.

Real estate depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately ($0.1) million, or (1.0%), from $5.9 million to $5.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. Real estate depreciation and amortization expense decreased by approximately ($0.4) million, or (2.0%), from $18.0 million to $17.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The decrease resulted because there was no depreciation expense in 2010 with respect to a building for which a lease was terminated in 2009 and all unamortized tenant improvements in that building were expensed at that time.

Equity in Earnings from Unconsolidated Joint Venture
As of September 30, 2010, we held an investment in one R&D building totaling approximately 155,500 rentable square feet through an unconsolidated joint venture, TBI-MWP, in which we acquired a 50% interest from the Berg Group in January 2003. We have a non-controlling limited partnership interest in this joint venture, which we account for using the equity method of accounting. For the three months ended September 30, 2010, we recorded equity in earnings from the unconsolidated joint venture of approximately $0.05 million compared with equity in earnings of $0.07 million for the same period in 2009. For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, equity in earnings from the unconsolidated joint venture was approximately $0.27 million and $0.24 million, respectively. The occupancy rate for the property owned by this joint venture at September 30, 2010 and 2009 was 100%.

Interest and Dividend Income
Interest and dividend income was negligible for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Interest and dividend income decreased by approximately ($1.11) million, or (95.6%), from $1.16 million to $0.05 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2010, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to an accrual of approximately $1.0 million in interest income related to the Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership litigation in 2009 that did not recur in 2010 (see Note 9 above for further discussion of this litigation).

Realized and Unrealized Gain from Investment
Realized and unrealized gain from investment in marketable securities was $0 and approximately $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. The decrease was due to the sale of all investment in marketable securities in the second quarter of 2010. For each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, realized and unrealized gain from investment in marketable securities was approximately $4.1 million.

Interest Expense
Interest expense decreased by approximately ($0.04) million, or (0.8%), from $5.18 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $5.14 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Interest expense (related parties) remained relatively the same at approximately $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Interest expense decreased by approximately ($2.3) million, or (13.5%), from $17.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $14.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 due to an accrual of approximately $2.3 million related to the Hellyer Avenue Limited Partnership litigation in 2009 that did not recur in 2010 (see Note 9 above for further discussion of this litigation). Interest expense (related parties) increased by approximately $0.3 million, or 51.4%, fro m $0.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010. Total debt outstanding, including debt due related parties, increased by approximately $18.2 million, or 5.4%, from $338.9 million as of September 30, 2009 to $357.1 million as of September 30, 2010 because of a new mortgage note loan obtained in the third quarter of 2010.

Loss from Discontinued Operations
In accordance with the provisions of the Property, Plant, and Equipment Topic of the FASB ASC 360, in the third quarter of 2010 we classified one R&D property as assets held for sale and as discontinued operations. The loss attributable to discontinued operations from this property for each of the three month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately ($0.1) million. The loss attributable to discontinued operations from this property for each of the nine month periods ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 was approximately ($0.3) million.

Net Income Available to Common Stockholders and Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net income available to common stockholders decreased by approximately ($1.4) million, or (50.5%), from $2.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests decreased by approximately ($4.4) million, or (51.6%), from $8.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2009 to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, net income available to common stockholders was approximately $6.3 million and $6.0 million, respectively, and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was approximately $19.4 million and $18.1 million, respectively.

The amount of net income attributable to noncontrolling interests has been calculated by multiplying the net income of the operating partnerships (on a stand-alone basis) by the respective noncontrolling interests ownership percentage. Noncontrolling interests represent the ownership interest of all limited partners in the operating partnerships taken as a whole, which was approximately 79% as of September 30, 2010 and 2009. The increases in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the first nine months of 2010 occurred solely as a result of increases in our net income for the periods.

Changes in Financial Condition

The most significant change in our financial condition during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 resulted from the acquisition of one R&D property consisting of approximately 41,400 rentable square feet located in the Silicon Valley for approximately $3.9 million in cash.

Total stockholders’ equity attributable to Mission West Properties, Inc., net, decreased by approximately ($2.5) million from December 31, 2009. We obtained additional capital from the issuance of 132,000 shares and 10,859 shares of our common stock for the exchange of O.P. units and stock options exercised, respectively, which increased additional paid-in capital by approximately $1.0 million. Distributions in excess of accumulated earnings was reduced during the most recent quarter by distributions in excess of earnings of approximately ($3.6) million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Excluding the effects of the investment in marketable securities, we anticipate a decrease in operating cash flows from our operating property portfolio in 2010 compared with 2009. We are still experiencing weak demand for our R&D properties in certain areas of the Silicon Valley. If we are unable to lease a significant portion of the approximately 48,000 rentable square feet scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2010, 739,000 rentable square feet scheduled to expire in 2011 or an equivalent amount of our currently available space of approximately 2.6 million rentable square feet, our operating cash flows after 2010 may be affected adversely. We are also subject to risks of decreased occupancy through tenant defaults and bankruptcies and potential reduction in rental rates upon renewal of properties that could result in reduc ed cash flow from operations instead. Cash flows from lease terminations are non-recurring. To maintain or increase cash flows in the future we must lease our vacant properties.

Our principal sources of liquidity for distributions to stockholders and O.P. unit holders (noncontrolling interests), debt service, leasing costs, capital expenditures and tenant improvements are to come from net cash flow provided by operations and borrowings from our credit facility, borrowings from related parties, and other sources of financing, as required. We expect these sources of liquidity to be adequate to meet projected distributions to stockholders and other presently anticipated liquidity requirements for the remainder of 2010 and all of 2011. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements for the funding of property development, property acquisitions and other material non-recurring capital improvements through cash, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of additional equity securities.

As of September 30, 2010, we had approximately $15.2 million of cash and cash equivalents. Additionally, we had $17.5 million available under the Heritage Bank of Commerce (“HBC”) credit facility.

Distributions
On October 7, 2010, we paid dividends of $0.15 per share of common stock to all common stockholders of record as of September 30, 2010. On the same date, the operating partnerships paid a distribution of $0.15 per O.P. unit to all holders of O.P. units. The aggregate dividends and distributions amounted to approximately $15.8 million.

Distributions are declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and are subject to actual cash available for distribution, our financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors, as our Board of Directors deems relevant.

Debt
On August 4, 2010, we entered into a fixed rate term agreement and related contracts and instruments for a secured mortgage loan totaling $40 million from Hartford Life Insurance Company and Hartford Life and Accident Insurance Company (the “Hartford Loan II”). The proceeds were used primarily to repay the remaining balance of an existing loan with the Berg Group and to provide other working capital needs. The Hartford Loan II bears a fixed annual interest rate of 6.05%, with a 20-year amortization, and matures September 1, 2030, at which time any outstanding principal and interest will be due. Pursuant to the loan agreement, monthly principal and interest installment payments of approximately $0.3 million are due on the first day of each month. The Hartford Loan II is secured by five properties consisting of approximately 0.5 million rentable square feet. Loan fees and financing costs totaled approximately $0.5 million, which are amortized over the 20 year loan period.

At September 30, 2010, we had total indebtedness of approximately $357.2 million, including $349.3 million of fixed rate mortgage debt and $7.9 million debt under the Berg Group mortgage note (related parties), as detailed in the table below. The Northwestern, Allianz, Hartford and HBC loans contain certain financial loan and reporting covenants as defined in the loan agreements. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these loan covenants.

In October 2009, we entered into a change in terms agreement with the Heritage Bank of Commerce (“HBC”) to amend the maturity date to September 15, 2011. The interest rate on the revolving line of credit is the greater of LIBOR plus 1.75% or 4.00% per annum. The interest rate for the HBC line of credit at September 30, 2010 was 4.00%. Costs and fees incurred with obtaining this loan aggregated approximately $49, which were deferred and amortized over the loan period. The HBC line of credit contains certain financial loan and reporting covenants as defined in the loan agreement, including minimum tangible net worth and debt service coverage ratio. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these loan covenants.
(2)  
Mortgage notes payable and mortgage note payable (related parties) generally require monthly installments of principal and interest ranging from approximately $96 to $840 over various terms extending through the year 2030. The weighted average interest rate of the mortgage notes payable and mortgage note payable (related parties) was 5.78% at September 30, 2010.
(3)  
The Hartford loan I is payable in monthly installments of approximately $838, which includes principal (based upon a 20-year amortization) and interest. Costs and fees incurred with obtaining this loan aggregated approximately $1,058, which were deferred and amortized over the loan period. The Hartford loan I contains certain customary covenants as defined in the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these loan covenants.
(4)  
The Hartford loan II is payable in monthly installments of approximately $288, which includes principal (based upon a 20-year amortization) and interest. Costs and fees incurred with obtaining this loan aggregated approximately $457, which were deferred and amortized over the loan period. The Hartford loan II contains certain customary covenants as defined in the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these loan covenants.
(5)  
The Northwestern loan is payable in monthly installments of approximately $696, which includes principal (based upon a 20-year amortization) and interest. Costs and fees incurred with obtaining this loan aggregated approximately $675, which were deferred and amortized over the loan period. The Northwestern loan contains certain customary covenants as defined in the loan agreement. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these loan covenants.
(6)  
The Allianz loans are payable in monthly aggregate installments of approximately $1,017, which includes principal (based upon a 20-year amortization) and interest. Costs and fees incurred with obtaining these loans aggregated approximately $1,089, which were deferred and amortized over the loan periods. The Allianz loans contain certain customary covenants as defined in the loan agreements. As of September 30, 2010, we were in compliance with these loan covenants.

At September 30, 2010, our debt to total market capitalization ratio, which is computed as our total debt outstanding divided by the sum of total debt outstanding plus the market value of common stock (based upon the closing price of $6.78 per share on September 30, 2010) on a fully diluted basis, including the conversion of all O.P. units into common stock, was approximately 33.3%. On September 30, 2010, the last trading day in the quarter, total market capitalization was approximately $1.07 billion.

At September 30, 2010, the outstanding balance remaining under certain notes that we owed to the operating partnerships was approximately $2.4 million. The due date of these notes has been extended to September 30, 2011. The principal amount of these notes, along with the interest expense, which is interest income to the operating partnerships, is eliminated in consolidation and is not included in the corresponding line items within the condensed consolidated financial statements. However, the interest income earned by the operating partnerships, which is interest expense to us, in connectio n with this debt, is included in the calculation of noncontrolling interests as reported on the condensed consolidated statement of operations, thereby reducing our net income by this same amount. At present, our only means for repayment of this debt is through distributions that we receive from the operating partnerships that are in excess of the amount of dividends to be paid to our stockholders or by raising additional equity capital.

Historical Cash Flows

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2010 with the nine months ended September 30, 2009

Net cash provided by operating activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 was approximately $72.0 million compared with $58.7 million for the same period in 2009. Cash flow increased primarily from proceeds received from the sale of our investment in marketable securities in 2010.

Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $5.5 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2010 related principally to the acquisition of one R&D property at 1040-1050 La Avenida Street in Mountain View, California for approximately $3.9 million. Capital expenditures for real estate improvements were approximately $1.7 million and $0.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

Net cash used in financing activities was approximately $52.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 compared with approximately $57.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. During the first nine months of 2010, we financed $40 million through a new mortgage note loan, financed approximately $53.0 million in short-term debt from the Berg Group, paid approximately $97.0 million towards outstanding debt, paid approximately $0.5 million in financing costs, received approximately $0.1 million from stock option exercises, paid approximately $38.0 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests and paid approximately $9.9 million of dividends to common stockholders. During the same period in 2009, we financed approximately $29.6 million in short-term debt from the Berg Group, received $15 million from a l oan with our VIE, paid approximately $48.5 million towards outstanding debt, paid approximately $42.1 million of distributions to noncontrolling interests and paid approximately $11.5 million of dividends to common stockholders.

In 2009, we issued multiple notes in the aggregate amount of $22 million to M&M Real Estate for funds borrowed from restricted cash. The notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 2% and are due December 31, 2010. Approximately $10.4 million was repaid in 2010. As of September 30, 2010, the remaining balance owed to M&M Real Estate, including accrued interest, was approximately $12.1 million. This cash is required to be paid to us in any event between now and December 2011 under the terms of the lease termination and assumption agreements with M&M Real Estate and the former tenant under the lease. The principal amount of these notes, along with the interest expense and interest income to the operating partnerships, are eliminated in consolidation and are not included in the co rresponding line items within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measurement used by real estate investment trusts to measure and compare operating performance. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, plus non-recurring events other than “extraordinary items” under GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets, and after adjustments for joint ventures and unconsolidated partnerships. FFO does include impairment losses for properties held for sale and held for use. Management considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our operating and financial performance because when compared year over year, it reflects the impa ct to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. In addition, management believes that FFO provides useful information about our financial performance when compared with other REITs because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs. In addition to the disclosure of operating earnings per share, we will continue to use FFO as a measure of our performance. FFO should neither be considered as an alternative for net income as a measure of profitability nor is it comparable to cash flows provided by operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, nor is FFO necessarily indicative of funds available to meet our cash needs, including the need to make cash distributions to satisfy REIT requirements. For example, FFO is not adjusted for payments of debt principal required under our debt service obligations.

Our definition of FFO also assumes conversion at the beginning of the period of all convertible securities, including noncontrolling interests represented by O.P. Units that might be exchanged for common stock. FFO does not represent the amount available for management’s discretionary use; as such funds may be needed for capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties. Furthermore, FFO is not comparable to similarly entitled items reported by other REITs that do not define FFO exactly as we do.

FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, as reconciled to net income, are summarized in the following table:

Includes depreciation and amortization of real estate from discontinued operations totaling approximately $58 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and $174 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Includes our portion of depreciation and amortization of real estate and leasing commissions from our unconsolidated joint venture totaling approximately $60 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009 and $179 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009. Also includes our amortization of leasing commissions of approximately $489 and $464 for the three months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $1,474 and $1,596 for the nine months ended September 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively. Amortization of leasing commissions is included in the property operating, maintenance and real estate taxes li ne item in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Distribution Policy

Our board of directors determines the amount and timing of distributions to our stockholders. The board of directors will consider many factors prior to making any distributions, including the following:

·  
the amount of cash available for distribution;
·  
our ability to refinance maturing debt obligations;
·  
our financial condition;
·  
whether to reinvest funds rather than to distribute such funds;
·  
our committed and projected capital expenditures;
·  
the amount of cash required for new property acquisitions, including acquisitions under existing agreements with the Berg Group;
·  
the amount of our annual debt service requirements;
·  
prospects of tenant renewals and re-leases of properties subject to expiring leases;
·  
cash required for re-leasing activities;
·  
the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the federal income tax laws; and
·  
such other factors as the board of directors deems relevant.

We cannot assure you that we will be able to meet or maintain our cash distribution objectives.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not generally hold market risk sensitive instruments for trading purposes. We use fixed and variable rate debt to finance our operations. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our current variable rate debt and future debt obligations. We are vulnerable to significant fluctuations of interest rates on our floating rate debt and pricing on our future debt. We manage our market risk by monitoring interest rates where we try to recognize the unpredictability of the financial markets and seek to reduce potentially adverse effect on the results of our operations. This takes frequent evaluation of available lending rates and examination of opportunities to reduce interest expense through new sources of debt financing. Several factors affecting the interest rate risk include governmental monet ary and tax policies, domestic and international economics and other factors that are beyond our control. The following table provides information about the principal cash flows, weighted average interest rates, and expected maturity dates for debt outstanding as of September 30, 2010. The current terms of this debt are described in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources.” For fixed rate debt, we estimate fair value by using discounted cash flow analyses based on borrowing rates for similar kinds of borrowing arrangements.

For fixed rate debt, the table presents the assumption that the outstanding principal balance at September 30, 2010 will be paid according to scheduled principal payments and that we will not prepay any of the outstanding principal balance.

As a result, we pay lower rates of interest in periods of decreasing interest rates and higher rates of interest in periods of increasing interest rates. We had no interest rate caps or interest rate swap contracts at September 30, 2010. As of September 30, 2010, we had no variable debt. All of our debt is denominated in United States dollars.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We strive to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required  by SEC Rule 13a-15(b) we conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President of Finance, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, President and Vice President of Finance concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e)) were effective as of September 30, 2010.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There was no material change in our internal control over financial reporting during the last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(b) Policies.  All insurance provided for in Subsection 3.1(a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” and individually, a “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the Funding Date, in such amounts as may be satisfactory to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment), issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized and admitted to do busines s in the State, having a general policy rating of “A” or better and a financial class of “X” or better, each as determined by AM Best Company, Inc., and otherwise acceptable to Lender in the exercise of its reasonable judgment (each such insurer satisfying the foregoing is referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”).  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies in force as of the Funding Date, Borrower shall deliver to Lender certificates (in ACORD format 25 and ACORD format 28 (2003/10 form)) evidencing renewal Policies complying with the requirements of this Section 3.1, such certificates to be in format reasonably required by Lender and to be marked “premium paid” (or Borrower shall pro vide other evidence satisfactory to Lender (in its reasonable judgment) of the payment in full of all premiums due under such Policies (the “Insurance Premiums”)).
 
(c) Blanket Policies.  Borrower shall not obtain (i) any blanket liability or casualty Policy unless, in each case, such Policy is approved in advance by Lender (Lender acknowledges its approval of the blanket policies in effect as of the Funding Date, and Lender’s approval of Borrower’s blanket Policies following the Funding Date will not be required so long as any replacement blanket Policy is substantially similar to the blanket Policy approved by Lender on the Funding Date, confirmed by the ACORD certificates described in Section 3.1(b)), or (ii) 0;without Lender’s prior written consent (issued or withheld in Lender’s reasonable judgment), separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required in Subsection 3.1(a).  If a Borrower Party obtains separate insurance or a blanket Policy, Borrower shall notify Lender of the same and shall cause certificates with respect to each Policy to be delivered to Lender as required in Subsection 3.1(b).
 
(d) Lender as Insured.  All Policies, except for the Policies referenced in Subsection 3.1(a)(v), shall name the applicable Individual Borrower as the named insured and Lender as an additional insured and loss payee, as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of property damage, boiler and machinery, builder’s risk, and flood insurance, shall contain a so-called “New York standard non-contributing mortgagee” clause in favor of Lender providing that any loss thereunder cove red by such Policy shall be payable to Lender.
 
(e) Policy Endorsements.  All Policies shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:
 
 
 
-21-

 
 
(i) No act or negligence of any Borrower Party, of anyone acting for a Borrower Party, or of any Tenant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy that might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;
 
(ii) No Policy may be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) or cancelled without at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender and any other party named therein as an insured or additional insured;
 
(iii) The issuers thereof shall give written notice to Lender if the Policy has not been thirty (30) days prior to its expiration; and
 
(iv) Lender shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums or assessments thereon, except that Lender may, but shall have no obligation to, pay any Insurance Premiums to continue any Policy in full force and effect in the event Borrower fails to do so (any such amounts so paid by Lender shall be paid by Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period, and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate accruing from the expiration of the Demand Period until Lender receives payment in full of such amount).
 
(f) Intentionally Omitted.
 
(g) Lender Self-Help.  If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all Insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon three (3) Business Days prior notice to Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Portfolio, including obtaining such Insurance as Lender, in its discretion, deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining and maintaining such Insurance shall be paid by Borrower to Lender before the expir ation of the Demand Period, and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until Lender receives payment in full of such amount.
 
(h) Vesting in Lender.  In the event of a foreclosure or other transfer of title to any Property to Lender or a third party purchaser at foreclosure in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, and to the extent permitted under the Policies, all right, title and interest of Borrower Parties in and to all proceeds payable pursuant to the Policies as of the effective date of transfer of title (including proceeds payable under blanket policies) shall thereupon vest exclusively in Lender or the purchaser at such foreclosure.
 
(i) Subrogation.  All Insurance (as applicable) and all renewals thereof shall contain, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender, a standard “Waiver of Subrogation” endorsement.
 
Section 3.2. Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds.
 
(a) Restoration.  If any portion of any Property (or any material portion of the other Collateral) shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall give prompt written notice of such damage to Lender.  If Net
 
 
 
-22-

 
 
Proceeds are made available to a Borrower Party for Restoration as provided in Subsections 3.2(c) and 3.2(d), the applicable Individual Borrower shall, in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.2, promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the affected Collateral as nearly as possible to the condition the affected Collateral was in immediately prior to such Casualty (such repair and restoration, collectively, a “Restoration”) and shall pay all costs of such Restoration (even if Net Proceeds are not sufficient to pay in the full the cost of Restoration).  Regardless of whether Net Proceeds are made available to any Individual Borrower, Borrower shall, promptly following the oc currence of a Casualty and diligently thereafter, undertake all actions necessary to keep the affected Property safe, secure and free from reasonably foreseeable hazards and otherwise in material compliance with applicable Legal Requirements.  Notwithstanding any Casualty, Borrower shall continue to pay the Obligations at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in this Agreement.
 
(b) Adjustments by Lender.  Upon any Casualty covered by any Insurance, then (i) if an Event of Default exists, Lender is hereby authorized, at its option (exercisable in its discretion), to settle and adjust any claim without the consent of Borrower Parties; or (ii) if the Casualty in question is a Major Damage Event, Lender shall allow the applicable Individual Borrower up to one hundred eighty (180) days following the occurrence of the Casualty to settle and adjust such claim with the prior written consent of Lender (such consent not to be unreasonably withh eld); provided, however, that if the applicable Individual Borrower has failed to settle and adjust any claim associated with a Casualty within one hundred eighty (180) days after the occurrence of such Major Damage Event, Lender is hereby authorized, at its option (exercisable in its reasonable discretion), to settle and adjust any claim with the prior written consent of the applicable Individual Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); provided, further, that in any case, Lender shall, and is hereby authorized to, collect and hold (without interest) any and all such insurance proceeds subject to the terms of this Section 3.2.  If a Casualty does not constitute a Major Damage Event, then the applicable Individual Borrower shal l diligently pursue settlement of all insurance claims, shall hold all Net Proceeds associated with such non-Major Damage Event in trust to be applied toward the costs associated with the restoration of the affected Property, and shall promptly commence and diligently pursue to completion all restoration and repair work reasonably necessary to return the affected Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to the non-Major Damage Event.  The applicable Individual Borrower shall provide Lender with reasonable written updates, at reasonable intervals, in connection with all restoration efforts associated with non-Major Damage Events.  The reasonable third party expenses incurred by Lender in the adjustment and collection of insurance proceeds shall be reimbursed by Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from expiration of the Demand Perio d until payment in full is received by Lender, or, to the extent sufficient insurance proceeds are available, said expenses shall be deducted from said proceeds by Lender prior to any other application thereof.  Each Qualified Insurer is hereby authorized and directed by Borrower to make payment for all losses associated with a Major Damage Event to Lender alone, and not to Lender and any Individual Borrower or any other Person jointly.  Borrower agrees to promptly execute and deliver to Lender all documents and promptly make all deliveries reasonably requested by Lender in order to permit Lender to adjust any such claim and to authorize and direct any insurer to pay

insurance proceeds relating to a Major Damage Event to Lender alone and not jointly to Lender and any Individual Borrower or any other Person.  “Net Proceeds” means the net amount of all insurance proceeds received by Lender under the Policies described in Subsections 3.1(a) as a result of a Casualty, after deduction of Lender’s reasonable third party costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, in collecting same.
 
(c) Conditions to Disbursements for Restoration.  The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Restoration of a Major Damage Event:

(D) As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, that based upon a report issued by the Casualty Consultant and such other factors as Lender reasonably deems relevant, the costs of Restoration and ongoing Operating Expenses (including Debt Service) allocated to the affected Property will be covered out of (1) undisbursed Net Proceeds (including the proceeds of the coverage referred to in Subsection 3.1(a)(iii)), (2) Rents that are and shall continue to be generated by the affected Property despite the Casualty, and/or (3) other funds of Borrower deposited with Lender pursuant to Subsection 3.2(g);
 
(E) Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied that, within six (6) months following completion of the Restoration, the Net Operating Income associated with the affected Property will be restored to a level sufficient to generate a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (based on a fully amortizing 20-year schedule and the Allocated Loan Amount associated with the affected Property) for such affected Property of at least 125%;
 
(F) Prior to the initial disbursement of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (1) six (6) months prior to the Maturity Date, (2) twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the Casualty, or (3) such time as may be required under all Legal

(J) Promptly following the issuance of all required permits and the decision of Lender to make Net Proceeds available for Restoration in accordance with this Subsection 3.2(c), the applicable Individual Borrower shall commence the Restoration;
 
(K) As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Lender shall be satisfied (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) that the applicable Individual Borrower is diligently pursuing the Restoration to satisfactory completion; and
 
(L) As of the date of each distribution of Net Proceeds, Borrower must be in compliance with the conditions specified in Subsections 3.2(d), (e) and (g) below.
 
(d) Disbursement Procedures.  The Net Proceeds shall be held by Lender (in a non-interest bearing account) and, unless and until disbursed to the applicable Individual Borrower in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.  Subject to satisfaction of the conditions of this Section 3.2, the Net Proceeds designated for Restoration costs shall be disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, the applicable Individual Borrower from time to time prior to or during the course of the Restoration, but not more than once per 30-day period, upon receipt of (i) a disbursement request from the applicable Borrower Party in form and content reasonably required by Lender, (ii) an inspection report from the Casualty Consultant acceptable to Lender (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment), (iii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all materials installed and work and labor performed in connection with the related Restoration item have been paid for in full (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement), including a certification from the applicable Individual Borrower that there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders,

 mechanic’s or material supplier’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the affected Property which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender and discharged of record or, in the alternative, fully insured to the reasonable satisfaction of Lender by the Title Company, and (iv) title insurance “date downs” and endorsements to the Title Policy without exception as to mechanics’ or material supplier’s liens, intervening choate or inchoate liens, judgments, survey matters, or other material matters of record.  Any Net Proceeds received by Lender and held for application to Operating Expenses and Debt Service shall be disbursed to the applicable Individual Borrower in accordance with Subsection 3.1(a)(iii). &# 160;All Net Proceeds disbursed to a Borrower for Restoration shall be held in trust by the recipient and used for the sole purpose of completion of the Restoration in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2.
 
(e) Restoration Documents.  All plans and specifications and construction agreements (collectively, “Restoration Documents”) necessary for the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and by a qualified independent consulting engineer selected by Lender (the “Casualty Consultant”), all such approvals not to be unreasonably withheld.  In the event Lender does not notify the applicable Individual B orrower of the approval or disapproval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant of the Restoration Documents within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a complete set thereof by Lender and the Casualty Consultant, then Lender and the Casualty Consultant shall be deemed to have approved the Restoration Documents.  Subject to all necessary approvals and consents (the consent of Borrower Parties being deemed issued), Lender shall have the use of the Restoration Documents and all permits, licenses and approvals required or obtained in connection with the Restoration.  The identity of the general contractor and other significant contractors engaged in the Restoration shall be subject to prior review and approval by Lender and the Casualty Consultant (each such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).  All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with making the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration or for the payment of Operating Expenses, in cluding reasonable third party attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s reasonable fees (which in no event shall exceed then prevailing market rates), shall be deducted from the Net Proceeds or if the Net Proceeds are not sufficient, paid by Borrower to Lender within the Demand Period and until paid shall constitute part of the Obligations, shall be secured by the Loan Documents and shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender.
 
(f) Amount of Disbursements.  In no event shall Lender be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration (including Lender’s reasonable third party costs and expenses), as certified by the Casualty Consultant, minus the Restoration Retainage.  “Restoration Retainage” means an amount equal to th e greater of (i) ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, and (ii) the amount actually held back by the applicable Individual Borrower from contractors, subcontractors and material suppliers engaged in the Restoration.  The Restoration Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.2 and that all approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the affected Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Lender receives
 
 
 
-26-

 
 
evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Restoration Retainage, provided, however, that Lender will release the portion of the Restoration Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or material supplier engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which either (i) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of that contractor’s, subcontractor’s or material supplier’s contract, or (ii) the applicable contractor, subcontractor or material supp lier delivers to Lender lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier as may be reasonably requested by Lender or by the Title Company.  If required by Lender, the release of any such portion of the Restoration Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or material supplier.
 
(g) Restoration Deficiency.  If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof, together with Rents that will continue to be generated by the affected Property despite the Casualty, shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Lender in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration and ongoing Operating Expenses (including Debt Service) associated with the affected Property, Borrower shall deposit the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) with Lender before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made (but in all events Borrower shall make such deposit within sixty (60) days following demand).  The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender shall be held by Lender and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration and/or for ongoing Operating Expenses (including Debt Service) associated with the affected Property on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.
 
(h) Release of Remaining Proceeds.  Provided (i) no Monetary Potential Default then exists and no Event of Default then exists, (ii) Lender shall re-confirm that within six (6) months following completion of the Restoration the Net Operating Income for the affected Property will be restored to a level sufficient to generate a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (based on a fully amortizing 20-year schedule and the Allocated Loan Amount associated with the affected Property) for such affected Property of at least 125%, (iii) the Casualty Consultant certifies to Lender that t he Restoration has been substantially completed in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.2, and (iv) Lender receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full (except to the extent said costs shall be paid out of the final disbursement), Lender shall promptly remit to the applicable Individual Borrower the excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Lender.
 
(i) Application of Remaining Proceeds.  If Lender makes a determination (in the exercise of its reasonable judgment) pursuant to this Section 3.2 that one or more of the conditions to disbursement of Net Proceeds set forth in Subsection 3.2(c)(i) has not or will not be satisfied, then all Net Proceeds then held by Lender shall be retained and applied by Lender toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper.  Provided no
 
 
-27-

 
 
 
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the date Lender applies the Net Proceeds to the Obligations, no Applicable Prepayment Fee shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment.  If an Event of Default exists while Lender is holding Net Proceeds, Lender may at its option apply the Net Proceeds toward the payment of the Obligations, whether or not then due and payable in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its discretion shall deem proper (including toward payment of any Applicable Prepayment Fee applicable to such prepayment).  If Lender applies Net Proceeds to the Obligations, the lien of the Loan Documents shall be reduced only by the amount of Net Proceeds actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Obligations, but if the Net Proceeds do not discharge the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affe cted Property in full, then Lender may elect to accelerate repayment of, or Borrower may elect to prepay, the entire remaining outstanding balance of the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property, such prepayment to be made in either case within one hundred twenty (120) days following notice from the electing party to the other party (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary for Borrower to secure replacement financing as long as Borrower Parties are diligently pursuing said refinancing in good faith), without any Applicable Prepayment Fee due thereon so long as no Event of Default exists as of either the date Lender so accelerates or Borrower elects prepayment of said Allocated Loan Amount and the date said Allocated Loan Amount is fully and finally repaid.
 
Section 3.3. Condemnation Awards.  Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of the receipt by a Borrower Party of notice of the institution of any proceeding for the condemnation or other taking of any Property or any portion thereof.  Lender may participate in any such proceeding relating to a Major Damage Event and the applicable Individual Borrower shall deliver to Lender all instruments necessary or required by Lender to permit such participation.  Without Lender’s prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no Borrower Party, in connection with any Major Damage Event, shal l agree to any compensation or award and/or take any action or fail to take any action which would cause the compensation to be determined.  All awards and compensation for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of any Property or any part thereof are hereby assigned to and shall be paid to Lender for application to the Obligations (except as expressly provided below).  Borrower Parties authorize Lender to collect and receive such awards and compensation, to give proper receipts and acquittances therefor, and to apply the same toward the payment of the Obligations in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its reasonable discretion shall deem proper (and provided no Event of Default exists as of the date Lender applies such condemnation proceeds to the Obligations, no Applicable Prepayment Fee shall be payable in connection with any such prepayment), notwithstanding that the Obligations may not then be due and payable; provided, however, that if the condemnation in question does not constitute a Major Damage Event and the applicable Individual Borrower requests that such proceeds be used for non-structural site improvements (such as landscape, driveway, walkway and parking area repairs) to the affected Property which are required to be made as a result of such condemnation, Lender will apply the award to such restoration in accordance with disbursement procedures applicable to Net Proceeds.  Borrower Parties, upon request by Lender, shall execute all instruments reasonably requested by Lender to confirm the assignment of the awards and compensation to Lender, free and clear of all Liens, charges (except as expressly set forth above) or encumbrances.  If Lender applies condemnation proceeds to the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property, the lien of the Loan Documents shall be reduced only by the amount of such proceeds
 
 
-28-

 
 
 
actually applied by Lender in reduction of the Obligations, but if such proceeds do not discharge the Obligations in full, then Lender may elect to accelerate repayment of, or Borrower may elect to repay, the entire remaining outstanding balance of the Allocated Loan Amount relating only to the affected Property, such prepayment to be made in either case within one hundred twenty (120) days following notice from the electing party to the other party (or such longer period as may be reasonably necessary for Borrower Parties to secure replacement financing as long as Borrower Parties are diligently pursuing said refinancing in good faith), without any Applicable Prepayment Fee due thereon so long as no Event of Default exists as of both the date Lender so accelerates or Borrower elects repayment of said Allocated Loan Amount and the date said Allocated Loan Amount is fully and finally repaid.
 
Section 3.4. Impounds.
 
(a) In connection with a permitted assumption or transfer of the Loan pursuant to Subsection 7.1(c), and in order to assure compliance with Borrower’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.2, but not in lieu of such obligations, Borrower (or its permitted successor) shall deposit with Lender, monthly on each Payment Date (commencing on the first Payment Date following Lender’s written request), one-twelfth (1/12th) of the annual charges for Taxes (collectively, “Impounds”). Each deposit shall be in an amount reasonably determined by Lender that will be sufficient (when combined with other monthly installments) to make full payment of all Impounds thirty (30) days prior to the date any delinquency or penalty becomes due with respect to such Impounds.  Deposits shall be made on the basis of the Impounds which have been fixed for the then current year; provided, however, that prior to the date that such Impounds have been so fixed, deposits shall be made on the basis of Lender’s reasonable estimate from time to time of the amount of Impounds for the then current year (after giving effect to any recalculation or reassessment or, at Lender’s election, on the basis of the Impounds for the prior year).  All funds so deposited shall not be construed as trust funds, may be held by Lender, without interest, and may be commingled with Lender’s general funds.  Borrower Parties (including any permitted successor to Borr ower Parties) hereby grants to Lender a security interest in all Impounds so deposited with Lender for the purpose of securing the Obligations.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all Impounds deposited with Lender may be applied in payment of the Impounds for which such funds have been deposited, or to the payment of the Obligations, as Lender may elect, but no such application shall be deemed to have been made by operation of law or otherwise until actually made by Lender.  Borrower’s permitted successor shall furnish Lender with bills for the Impounds at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Impounds first become payable.  If at any time Lender determines that the amount on deposit with Lender, together with the monthly installments to be deposited by Borrower’s permitted successor before the Impounds are payable, are insufficient to pay the Impounds, Borrower’s permitted successor shall deposit any deficiency with Lender within the Demand Period.  Provided no Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall pay the Impounds when the amount on deposit with Lender is sufficient to pay such Impounds and Lender has received a bill for such Impounds.
 
(b) Borrower Parties acknowledges that Lender may, at any time Impounds are not being collected by Lender pursuant to Section 3.4(a) and at the sole cost and expense of Borrower, engage the services of a tax service company to verify the status of taxes and assessments on the Portfolio.  Lender shall be entitled to rely upon (regardless of whether or not
 
 
-29-

 
 
Lender engages a tax service company) any certificate, advice or bill from any authority (or any official thereof) to which such payments are payable, and Lender shall have no duty to inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such certificate, advice or bill or to make any protest in connection therewith.
 
(c) Nothing contained in this Section 3.4 shall be deemed to affect any right, power, privilege or remedy of Lender under any provision of this Agreement, the Mortgage, any other Loan Document or any statute or rule of law, to pay any amount required to be paid pursuant to Section 7.2, to add the amount so paid to the Obligations and to require Borrower to reimburse Lender for such amount, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the expiration of the Demand Period until payment in full is received by Lender.  In the event of any transfer of Borrower’s right, title and interest in or to all or any part of the Portfolio (without implying any consent of Lender to any such transfer exc ept as expressly set forth in this Agreement), Lender shall be entitled to treat such transfer as also effecting an assignment to the transferee of all right, title and interest of Borrower Parties in and to any and all such deposits relating to the transferred portion of the Portfolio.  After any assignment by Lender of its interest in the Loan, any such deposits on hand shall, in Lender’s discretion, be turned over to the assignee or returned to Borrower Parties, and all further responsibility of Lender with respect to such deposits shall terminate.

unenforceable provision or by its severance therefrom; and (iv) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such Loan Document a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible so that said substitute provision is legal, valid and enforceable.
 
Section 9.5. Payment and Reimbursement of Expenses.
 
(a) In addition to its reimbursement or payment obligations set forth elsewhere in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, and prior to the expiration of any Demand Period, Borrower Parties shall pay to Lender or, at Lender’s option, shall reimburse Lender, for all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and fees and expenses of appraisers and environmental professionals) incurred by Lender in connection with (i) intentionally omitted; (ii) intentionally omitted; (iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents, amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and any other documents or matters (including leasing matters) requested by Borrower Parties; (iv) the filing and recording fees and expenses, title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of attorneys for providing to Lender all required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred, in creating and perfecting the Liens and security interest in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (v) enforcing or preserving any rights, in response to third party claims or the prosecuting or defending of any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting a Borrower Party, this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Portfolio, or any other security given for the Obligations; and (vi) enforcing any obligations of or collecting any payments due from Borrower Parties under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with respect to the Portfolio or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreeme nt in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

Section 9.6. Approvals; Third Parties; Conditions.  All approval rights retained or exercised by Lender with respect to Leases, contracts, plans, studies and other matters shall not be deemed or construed as a determination that Lender has passed on the adequacy thereof for any other purpose and may not be relied upon by Borrower Parties or any other Person.  This Agreement is for the sole and exclusive use of Borrower Parties and Lender and may not be enforced, nor relied upon, by any Person other than Borrower Parties and Lender.

(b) Lender may at any time sell, transfer or assign the Note, this Agreement, the Mortgage, and the other Loan Documents, and any or all servicing rights with respect thereto or grant participations therein or issue mortgage pass-through certificates, provided that Lender shall remain as the “lead” lender and primary contact for all required consents and approvals under the Loan Documents.  Lender may forward to any present, future or prospective purchaser, assignee, servicer, participant or investor (each, a “Transferee”), all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter acquire relating to any Borrower P arty or the Portfolio, whether furnished by a Borrower Party, any Property Manager or any other Person, as Lender determines necessary or desirable; provided that Lender receives a reasonable undertaking from the applicable Transferee to maintain the confidential nature (if any) of such information. Each Borrower Party shall cooperate with Lender in connection with any transfer made pursuant to this Section 9.10, including the delivery of an estoppel certificate and such other documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender.  Each Borrower Party shall also furnish, and hereby consents to Lender furnishing to such Transferee, any and all current or updated information concerning its financial condition and any and all information concerning the Portfolio as may be requested by Lender or any Transferee; provided that Lender receives a reasonable undertaking from the app licable Transferee to maintain the confidential nature (if any) of such information.  No exercise by Lender of any transfer rights pursuant hereto shall operate to release or diminish the duties, obligations or liabilities of any Borrower Party under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
 
(c) Without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, Lender shall have the right, in its discretion at any time after the Funding Date, to require Borrower Parties to split the Loan into one or more loans secured by the Portfolio (individually, a “Split Loan” and collectively, the “Split Loans”), provided that (i) the aggregate principal amount of all notes evidencing the Split Loans shall equal the outstanding principal balance of the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such split notes, (ii) the aggregate debt service payments on the Split Loans shall on the date created equal the debt service payment which was due under the Loan immediately prior to the creation of such Split Loans, and (iii) the other terms and provisions of the documents evidencing and/or securing the Split Loans shall be substantially similar in form and substance to the Loan Documents.  Borrower Parties, at no cost or expense to it, shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to establish the Split Loans and shall execute and deliver such documents as shall be reasonably required by Lender in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, including modified and severed notes, mortgages and other security documents in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its discretion, release documents and any and all documents necessary to assign the Split Loans.

Section 9.13. Waivers.  No course of dealing on the part of Lender, its officers, employees, attorneys, consultants or agents, nor any failure or delay by Lender with respect to exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy of Lender under any of the Loan Documents, shall operate as a waiver thereof.
 
Section 9.14. Cumulative Rights.  All rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such right or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other right or remedy.

(c) Operation of Collateral.  Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Collateral upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (including making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Beneficiary or, as applicable, Trustee in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.7.

(d) Carveout Indemnitor waives any rights or benefits it may have by reason of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 580a which could limit the amount which Lender could recover in a foreclosure of any Property to the difference between the amount owing under the Loan Documents and the fair value of the property or interests sold at a nonjudicial foreclosure sale or sales of any other real property held by Lender as security for the obligations under the Loan Documents.
 
(e) Carveout Indemnitor waives all rights, defenses and benefits that are or may become available to the guarantor or other surety by reason of California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive.

10. Waivers.  Indemnitor hereby: (i) waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of Indemnitor's assets or to cause Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the security for the Loan before proceeding under this Agreement against Indemnitor; (ii) relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by law to indemnitors or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation which Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights including any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnitee or other Indemnified Parties; (iii) waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a mandatory or compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against or by Indemnitee or other
