 Employment Agreement for Tyler H.
Rose 
  

 THIS EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT by and between KILROY REALTY CORPORATION, a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), Kilroy Realty, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and Tyler H. Rose. (“Executive”) is effective
as of             , 2007 (the “Effective Date”). This Employment Agreement (the “Agreement”) supersedes and replaces in its entirety Executive’s Employment
Agreement, dated as of March 10, 1997, with the Company and Operating Partnership (the “Prior Employment Agreement”). Rights and obligations of the parties for periods prior to the Effective Date, and any related remedies, shall
remain subject to the terms of the Prior Employment Agreement, which shall remain enforceable for that purpose. 
 W I T N E S S E T H

 WHEREAS, the Company desires to continue to employ Executive as Senior Vice President and Treasurer of the Company, and Executive desires
to continue in such employment on the terms and conditions herein set forth. 
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual
covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which the Company and Executive each hereby acknowledge, the Company and Executive hereby agree as follows: 
  

	1.	Employment. 

 The Company and Operating Partnership
hereby agree to continue to employ Executive as their Senior Vice President and Treasurer, and Executive hereby agrees to accept and continue in such employment during the Term as defined in Section 2 and to serve in such capacities from and
after the Effective Date, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The allocation of the rights and obligations between the Company and the Operating Partnership shall be determined by separate agreement of those parties. For
purposes of this Agreement, the term “Company” shall be understood to include the Operating Partnership, unless the context otherwise requires. 
  

	2.	Term. 

 The term of employment of Executive under
this Agreement (the “Term”) shall be the period commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2009 and any period of extension thereof in accordance with this Section 2, except that the Term will end at a date,
prior to the end of such period or extension thereof, specified in Section 6 or 7 in the event of termination of Executive’s employment. The Term, if not previously ended, shall be extended 










 
automatically without further action by either party by one additional year (added to the end of the Term) first on December 31, 2009 (extending the
Term to December 31, 2010) and on each succeeding December 31 thereafter, unless either party shall have served written notice in accordance with Section 13(d) upon the other party at least 90 days before the December 31
extension date electing not to extend the Term further as of that December 31 extension date, in which case employment shall terminate on that December 31 and the Term shall end at that date, subject to earlier termination of employment
and earlier termination of the Term in accordance with Section 6 or 7. 
  

	3.	Offices and Duties. 

 The provisions of this
Section 3 will apply during the Term: 
 (a) Generally. Executive shall serve as the Senior Vice President and Treasurer of the
Company. Executive shall have and perform such duties, responsibilities, and authorities as are customary for the senior vice president and treasurer of a publicly held corporation of the size, type, and nature of the Company as they may exist from
time to time and consistent with such position and status. In addition, if the Company and Executive mutually agree, Executive may serve the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates in other offices and capacities; provided that, if
Executive’s service in any such additional office or capacity ceases, such cessation shall have no effect on the compensation payable hereunder. 
 (b) Devotion of Time and Effort. Executive shall devote substantially all of his business time and attention, and his best efforts, abilities, experience, and talent, to the positions of Senior Vice President
and Treasurer and for the businesses of the Company without commitment to other business endeavors, except that Executive (i) may make personal investments which are not in conflict with his duties to the Company and manage personal and family
financial and legal affairs, (ii) may undertake public speaking engagements, and (iii) may serve as a director of (or similar position with) any educational, charitable, community, civic, religious, or similar type of organization, so long
as such activities listed in clauses (i) through (iii) do not preclude or render unlawful Executive’s employment or service to the Company or otherwise materially inhibit the performance of Executive’s duties under this Agreement
or impair the business of the Company or its subsidiaries. 
 (c) Place of Employment. Executive’s principal place of employment
shall be at the Company’s principal executive offices in Los Angeles, California. 
  

	4.	Salary and Annual Incentive Compensation. 

 As
partial compensation for the services to be rendered hereunder by Executive, the Company agrees to pay to Executive during the Term the compensation set forth in this Section 4. 
 (a) Base Salary. The Company will pay to Executive during the Term a base salary at the annual rate of $350,000, payable commencing at the
beginning of the Term in accordance with the Company’s usual payroll practices with respect to senior executives (except to the extent deferred under Section 5(c)). Executive’s annual base salary shall be 
  

 2 








 
reviewed by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board (the “Committee”) each year of the Term. For purposes of this Agreement, “Base
Salary” means Executive’s then-current base salary. 
 (b) Annual Incentive Compensation. During the Term, Executive will be
eligible to receive an annual cash award (the “Annual Cash Award”) and an annual stock incentive award (the “Annual Stock Incentive”) which shall offer to Executive an opportunity to earn additional compensation based upon
performance in amounts determined by the Committee in accordance with the applicable plan; provided, however, that (i) the annual target incentive opportunity for the Annual Cash Award shall be $275,000 (which $ 275,000 is the “Annual Cash
Target”), up to 25% of which may be payable, in the Company’s sole discretion, in Company stock, and (ii) the annual target incentive opportunity for the Annual Stock Incentive shall be $450,000 (which $450,000 is the “Annual
Stock Target”), in either case, for achievement of target level performance, with the nature of the performance and the levels of performance triggering payments of such target Annual Cash Award and target Annual Stock Incentive for each year
to be established through consultation between the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Committee and communicated to Executive during the first quarter of such year by the Committee. The Annual Cash Award and the Annual Stock Incentive
paid may be more or less than the annual target incentive opportunity based on the Company’s actual performance in relation to the target level performance. In addition, the Committee (or the Board) may determine, in its discretion, to adjust
Executive’s target incentive opportunity or provide an additional incentive opportunity in excess of the target incentive opportunity payable for performance in excess of or in addition to the performance required for payment of the target
incentive amount. Any annual incentive compensation payable to Executive shall be paid in accordance with the Company’s usual practices with respect to payment of incentive compensation to senior executives (except to the extent deferred under
Section 5(c)). 
  

	5.	Long-Term Compensation, Benefits, Deferred Compensation, and Expense Reimbursement. 

 (a) Executive Compensation Plans. Executive shall be entitled during the Term to participate, without discrimination or duplication, in all
executive compensation plans and programs intended for general participation by senior executives of the Company, as presently in effect or as they may be modified or added to by the Company from time to time, subject to the eligibility and other
requirements of such plans and programs. 
 During the Term, Executive shall be eligible to participate in any Outperformance Incentive Award
plan (including any similar plan or other substitute plan) that may be adopted by the Board in its sole discretion on terms that are at least as favorable to those made available to other senior executives of the Company in accordance with the terms
of the applicable program document. 
 (b) Employee and Executive Benefit Plans. Executive shall be entitled during the Term to
participate, without discrimination or duplication, in all employee and executive benefit plans and programs of the Company, as presently in effect or as they may be modified or added to by the Company from time to time, to the extent such plans are
generally available to other senior executives or employees of the Company, subject to the eligibility and other requirements 

  

 3 








 
of such plans and programs, including, without limitation, plans providing retirement benefits, medical insurance, life insurance, disability insurance, and
accidental death or dismemberment insurance, as well as savings, profit-sharing, 401(k) and stock ownership plans. In addition, Executive shall be eligible to participate in and receive or participate in perquisites under policies implemented by the
Board and the Committee. It is understood that no minimum level of perquisites is guaranteed hereunder, and that the Company may make available compensation and benefits to one or more individual executives that will not be deemed “generally
available” to senior executives. 
 In furtherance of and not in limitation of the foregoing, during the Term Executive will participate
as Senior Vice President and Treasurer in all executive and employee vacation and time-off programs; provided that Executive shall be entitled to a minimum of 20 business days of vacation annually. 
 (c) Deferral of Compensation. If the Company has in effect or adopts any deferral program or arrangement permitting executives to elect to defer
any compensation, Executive will be eligible to participate in such program on terms no less favorable than the terms of participation of any other senior executive officer of the Company. Any plan or program of the Company which provides benefits
based on the level of salary, annual incentives, or other compensation of Executive shall, in determining Executive’s benefits, take into account the amount of salary, annual incentives, or other compensation prior to any reduction for
voluntary contributions made by Executive under any deferral or similar contributory plan or program of the Company, but shall not treat any payout or settlement under such a deferral or similar contributory plan or program to be additional salary,
annual incentives, or other compensation for purposes of determining such benefits, unless otherwise expressly provided under such plan or program. 
 (d) Reimbursement of Expenses. The Company will promptly reimburse Executive for all reasonable business expenses and disbursements incurred by Executive in the performance of Executive’s duties during the Term in accordance
with the Company’s reimbursement policies as in effect from time to time. 
 (e) Office, Staff and Equipment. The Company agrees
to provide to Executive such staff, equipment and office space as is reasonably necessary for Executive to perform his duties hereunder, subject to and on a basis consistent with Company policy on the Effective Date. 
 (f) Company Registration Obligations. The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
and thereafter maintain the effectiveness of one or more registration statements registering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), the offer and sale of shares by the Company to Executive pursuant to any stock
option or other equity-based awards granted to Executive under Company plans or otherwise or, if shares are acquired by Executive in a transaction not involving an offer or sale to Executive but resulting in the acquired shares being
“restricted securities” for purposes of the 1933 Act, registering the reoffer and resale of such shares by Executive. 
 (g)
Limitations Under Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that, as a result of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code 

  

 4 








 
(the “Code”) (and any related regulations or other pronouncements), any of the payments that Executive is entitled to under the terms of this
Agreement or any other plan involving deferred compensation (as defined under Code Section 409A) may not be made at the time contemplated by the terms thereof without causing the Executive to be subject to constructive receipt at a date prior
to actual payment and/or an income tax penalty and interest and the timing of payment is the sole cause of such adverse tax consequences, the Company will make such payment on the first day permissible under Code Section 409A without the
Executive incurring such adverse tax consequences. In particular, with respect to any lump sum payment otherwise required hereunder, in the event of any delay in the payment date as a result of Code Section 409A(a)(2)(A)(i) and (B)(i), the
Company will adjust the payments to reflect the deferred payment date by crediting interest thereon at the prime rate in effect at the time such amount first becomes payable, as quoted by the Company’s principal bank. In addition, other
provisions of this Agreement or any other such plan notwithstanding, the Company shall have no right to accelerate any such payment or to make any such payment as the result of any specific event except to the extent permitted under
Section 409A. The Company shall not be obligated to reimburse Executive for any tax penalty or interest or provide a gross-up in connection with any tax liability of Executive under Section 409A. 
  

	6.	Termination Due to Retirement, Death, or Disability. 

 (a) Retirement. Executive may elect to terminate employment hereunder by retirement at or after age 65, or at such earlier age as may be approved by the Board, with at least 30 years of service with the Company (in either case,
“Retirement”) upon at least 30 days written notice to the Company. At the time Executive’s employment terminates due to Retirement, the Term will terminate, all obligations of the Company and Executive under Sections 1 through 5 will
immediately cease except for obligations which expressly continue after termination of employment due to Retirement, and the Company will pay Executive, and Executive will be entitled to receive, the following: 
  

	 	(i)	Executive’s Compensation Accrued at Termination (as defined in Section 8(d)); 

  

	 	(ii)	In lieu of any annual incentive compensation under Section 4(b) for the year in which Executive’s employment terminated, a Partial Year Bonus (as defined in
Section 8(g)); 

  

	 	(iii)	All equity awards held by Executive at termination that vest based on time shall be fully vested and all other terms of such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and
the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such options were granted (subject to Section 11(g) hereof); 

  

	 	(iv)	 Any performance objectives upon which the earning of performance-based restricted stock, RSUs, and other equity awards and other long-term incentive awards
(including cash awards, but excluding any Outperformance Incentive Award) is conditioned shall be deemed to have been met at the greater of (A) target level at the date of termination, or (B) actual performance and Reasonably Anticipated
Performance at the date of termination, and such amounts shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as a result of termination of employment 



  

 5 









	 	 
at the date of such termination, and, in other respects, such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents
pursuant to which such awards were granted; and 


  

	 	(v)	All other rights under any other compensatory or benefit plan, including any deferral under Section 5(c), shall be governed by such plan. In addition, at Company’s
expense, Executive and his spouse and dependent children shall be entitled to continuation of health insurance coverage (i.e., medical, dental and vision) under the Company’s group health plan(s) in which the Executive was participating on the
date of termination or if such plan(s) have been terminated, in the plan(s) in which senior executives of the Company participate for a period of one (1) year after the date Executive’s employment terminates. 

 (b) Death. In the event of Executive’s death which results in the termination of Executive’s employment, the Term will terminate, all
obligations of the Company and Executive under Sections 1 through 5 will immediately cease except for obligations which expressly continue after death, and the Company will pay Executive’s beneficiary or estate, and Executive’s beneficiary
or estate will be entitled to receive, the following: 
  

	 	(i)	Executive’s Compensation Accrued at Termination; 

  

	 	(ii)	In lieu of any annual incentive compensation under Section 4(b) for the year in which Executive dies, a Partial Year Bonus (as defined in Section 8(g));


  

	 	(iii)	A single severance payment in an amount equal to the sum of: (i) one times the Executive’s Base Salary plus (ii) one times the average of the two highest Annual
Incentives (as defined in Section 8(a)) received by Executive during the preceding three completed performance years, provided that the Annual Stock Target provided for in this Agreement instead of the actual Annual Stock Incentive shall be
used in the calculation of the severance payment. Such payment shall be in addition to any life insurance payments to which the Executive is otherwise entitled and any other compensation earned by Executive hereunder; 

  

	 	(iv)	All equity awards held by Executive at termination that vest based on time shall be fully vested and all other terms of such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and
the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such options were granted (subject to Section 11(g) hereof); 

  

	 	(v)	Any performance objectives upon which the earning of performance-based restricted stock, RSUs, and other equity awards and other long-term incentive awards (including cash awards,
but excluding any Outperformance Incentive Award) is conditioned shall be deemed to have been met at the greater of (A) target level at the date of termination, or (B) actual performance and Reasonably Anticipated Performance at the date
of termination, and such amounts shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as a result of termination of employment at the date of such termination, and, in other respects, such awards shall be 

  

 6 









	 	 
governed by the plans and programs and the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such awards were granted; and 


  

	 	(vi)	All other rights under any other compensatory or benefit plan, including any deferral under Section 5(c), shall be governed by such plan. In addition, at Company’s
expense, Executive’s spouse and dependent children shall be entitled to continuation of health insurance coverage (i.e., medical, dental and vision) under the Company’s group health plan(s) in which the Executive was participating on the
date of termination or if such plan(s) have been terminated, in the plan(s) in which senior executives of the Company participate for a period of one (1) year after the date of Executive’s death.

	 	(iv)	All equity awards held by Executive at termination that vest based on time shall be fully vested and all other terms of such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and

	 	(v)	 Any performance objectives upon which the earning of performance-based restricted stock, RSUs, and other equity awards and other long-term incentive awards
(including cash awards, but excluding any Outperformance Incentive Award) is conditioned shall be deemed to have been met at the greater of (A) target level at the date of termination, or (B) actual performance and Reasonably Anticipated

	 	(vi)	Disability benefits shall be payable in accordance with the Company’s plans, programs and policies; and 

  

	 	(vii)	All other rights under any other compensatory or benefit plan, including any deferral under Section 5(c), shall be governed by such plan. In addition, at Company’s
expense, Executive and his spouse and dependent children shall be entitled to continuation of health insurance coverage (i.e., medical, dental and vision) under the Company’s group health plan(s) in which the Executive was participating on the

in the event Executive’s employment terminates due to Retirement, death, or Disability under the terms of plans or programs of the Company more favorable to Executive (or his beneficiaries) than the benefits payable or provided under this

 8 








 (b) Termination by Executive Other Than For Good Reason . Executive may terminate his employment
hereunder voluntarily for reasons other than Good Reason (as defined in Section 8(f)) at any time upon at least 90 days’ written notice to the Company. An election by Executive not to extend the Term pursuant to Section 2 hereof shall

terminate, all obligations of the Company and Executive under Sections 1 through 5 will immediately cease, and the Company will pay Executive, and Executive will be entitled to the same compensation and rights specified in Section 7(a).

at least 90 days’ written notice to Executive. At the time Executive’s employment is terminated by the Company (i.e., at the expiration of such notice period), the Term will terminate, all remaining obligations of the Company and Executive

Incentive shall be used in the calculation of the severance payment; 

  

	 	(iii)	In lieu of any annual incentive compensation under Section 4(b) for the year in which Executive’s employment terminates, a Partial Year Bonus (as defined in
Section 8(g)); 

  

	 	(iv)	All equity awards held by Executive at termination which vest based on time shall become vested and all other terms of such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and
the agreements and other documents pursuant to which such options were granted (subject to Section 11(g) hereof); 

  

	 	(v)	Any performance objectives upon which the earning of performance-based restricted stock, RSUs, and other equity awards and other long-term incentive awards (including cash awards,
but excluding any Outperformance Incentive Award) is conditioned shall be deemed to have been met at the greater of (A) target level at the date of termination, or (B) actual performance and Reasonably Anticipated Performance at the date
of termination, and such amounts shall become fully vested and non-forfeitable as a result of termination of employment at the date of such termination, and, in other respects, such awards shall be governed by the plans and programs and the
agreements and other documents pursuant to which such awards were granted;

	 	(vi)	All deferral arrangements under Section 5(c) will be settled in accordance with the plans and programs governing the deferral; and 

  

	 	(vii)	All other rights under any other compensatory or benefit plan, including any deferral under Section 5(c), shall be governed by such plan. In addition, at Company’s
expense, Executive and his spouse and dependent children shall be entitled to continuation of health insurance coverage (i.e., medical, dental and vision) under the Company’s group health plan(s) in which the Executive was participating on the
date of termination or if such plan(s) have been terminated, in the plan(s) in which senior executives of the Company participate for a period of two (2) years after the date Executive’s employment terminates. 

 Payments and benefits under this Section 7(c) are subject to Section 5(g). In particular, payments under Sections 7(c)(ii) and
(iii) likely will be required under Section 5(g) to be made at the date six months after termination of employment. 
 (d)
Termination by Executive for Good Reason. Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason upon 90 days’ written notice to the Company; provided, however, that, if the basis for such Good Reason is correctible and the
Company has corrected the basis for such Good Reason within 30 days after receipt of such notice, Executive may not then terminate his employment for Good Reason with respect to the matters addressed in the written notice, and therefore
Executive’s notice of termination will automatically become null and void. At the time Executive’s employment is terminated by Executive for Good Reason (i.e., at the expiration of such notice period), the Term will terminate, all
obligations of the Company and Executive under Sections 1 through 5 will immediately cease (except as expressly provided below), and the Company will pay Executive, and Executive will be entitled to receive, the same compensation and rights
specified in Section 7(c)(i) – (vii) and the text following clause (vii). 
 If any payment or benefit under this
Section 7(d) is based on Base Salary or other level of compensation or benefits at the time of Executive’s termination and if a reduction in such Base Salary or other level of compensation or benefit was the basis for Executive’s
termination for Good Reason, then the Base Salary or other level of compensation in effect before such reduction shall be used to calculate payments or benefits under this Section 7(d). 
 (e) Other Terms Relating to Certain Terminations of Employment. In the event Executive’s employment terminates for any reason set forth in
Section 7(b) through (d), Executive will be entitled to the benefit of any terms of plans or agreements applicable to Executive which are more favorable than those specified in this Section 7 (except without duplication of payments or
benefits, including in the case of Annual Incentives in lieu of which amounts are paid hereunder). Except as otherwise provided under Section 5(g), amounts payable under this Section 7 following Executive’s termination of employment,
other than those expressly payable on a deferred or installment basis, will be paid as promptly as practicable after such a termination of employment. References to the amount of compensation paid as salary and Annual Incentives in previous years
includes payments to Executive by the Company and Operating Partnership in periods prior to the Effective Date. 
  

 10 








 The Company and the Operating Partnership, and any successor(s) thereto, shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to allow Executive to receive long term capital gain treatment for federal income tax purposes for all interests held by Executive in the Operating Partnership at the time of termination of Executive’s employment (provided,
that, nothing herein shall prevent Company from terminating Executive’s employment), and the Company and the Operating Partnership, and any successor(s) thereto, shall reasonably cooperate with Executive to obtain favorable tax treatment for
Executive with regard to all interests held by Executive in the Operating Partnership.

substantially performed Executive’s duties. 

 No act, or failure to act, on the part of Executive shall be deemed
“willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Executive not in good faith and without reasonable belief that his action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to
have been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to Executive a copy of the resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than three-quarters (3/4) of the independent members of the Board at a
meeting of the Board (after reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with Executive’s counsel, to be heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive was guilty of conduct

approved, cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or 

  

	 	iii.	The consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (x) a merger, consolidation,

transaction, and; 

  

	 	(B)	 After which no person or group (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under
the Exchange Act) voting securities representing 50% or more of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this Section 



  

 12 









	 	 
8(c)(iii)(B) as beneficially owning 50% or more of combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company
prior to the consummation of the transaction; or 


  

	 	iv.	The Company’s stockholders approve a liquidation or dissolution of the Company and all material contingencies to such liquidation or dissolution have been satisfied or waived.

	 	(iii)	Reasonable business expenses and disbursements incurred by Executive prior to Executive’s termination of employment, to be reimbursed to Executive, as authorized under
Section 5(d), in accordance the Company’s reimbursement policies as in effect at the date of such termination. 

 (e)
“Disability”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Disability” means that the Executive qualifies to receive long-term disability payments under the Company’s or the Operating Partnership’s long-term disability
insurance program, as it may be amended from time to time. 
 (f) “Good Reason”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Good
Reason” shall mean, without Executive’s express written consent, the occurrence of any of the following circumstances unless, if correctable, such circumstances are fully corrected within 30 days of the notice of termination given in
respect thereof: 
  

	 	(i)	 The assignment to Executive of duties materially inconsistent with Executive’s position and status hereunder, or an alteration, materially adverse to
Executive, in the nature of Executive’s duties, responsibilities, and authorities, Executive’s positions or the conditions of Executive’s employment from those specified in Section 3 or otherwise hereunder (other than inadvertent
actions which are 



  

 13 









	 	 
promptly remedied); except the foregoing shall not constitute Good Reason if occurring in connection with the termination of Executive’s employment for
Cause, Disability, Retirement, as a result of Executive’s death, or as a result of action by or with the consent of Executive; for purposes of this Section 8(f)(i), references to the Company (and the Board and stockholders of the Company)
refer to the ultimate parent company (and its board and stockholders) succeeding the Company following an acquisition in which the corporate existence of the Company continues, in accordance with Section 13(b); 


  

	 	(ii)	on or after a Change in Control (A) a material reduction by the Company in Executive’s Base Salary, (B) the setting of Executive’s annual target incentive

basis not materially less favorable, both in terms of the amounts of compensation or benefits provided and the level of Executive’s participation relative to other participants, as existed at the time of the Change in Control;


  

	 	(v)	the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement from any successor to the Company to fully assume the Company’s obligations and to perform under this Agreement,
as contemplated in Section 13(b) hereof; or 

  

	 	(vi)	any other failure by the Company to perform any material obligation under, or breach by the Company of any material provision of, this Agreement. 

 (g) “Partial Year Bonus”. For purposes of this Agreement, a Partial Year Bonus is an amount equal to the annual incentive compensation
that would have become payable to Executive for that year if his employment had not terminated, based on the performance actually achieved prior to the date Executive’s employment terminates and the Reasonably Anticipated Performance for the
remainder of the year. 
 (h) Intentionally omitted. 
 (i) “Reasonably Anticipated Performance”. For purposes of this Agreement, “Reasonably Anticipated Performance” is performance reasonably anticipated at the time of 

  

 14 








 
termination of employment, as determined by the Board, in good faith, based on discussions with management of the Company and Executive and based on
documents (including term sheets, leases and letters of intent) and, in the absence of documentation, material negotiations have commenced at the time of termination and the transaction in question is completed, and other facts and circumstances in

	9.	Payment of Financial Obligations 

 The payment or
provision to the Executive by the Company of any remuneration, benefits or other financial obligations pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, the payment of Executive’s Base Salary, Annual Cash Award, Annual Stock Incentive,
and other benefits set forth in Section 5(b) hereof, the payment of the severance payment and Partial Year Bonus and provision of the severance benefits (if applicable) as set forth in Section 6 and Section 7 hereof and any
indemnification obligations, shall be allocated between the Company and the Operating Partnership by the Committee based on any reasonable method. 
  

	10.	Rabbi Trust Obligation; Excise Tax-Related Provisions. 

 (a) Rabbi Trust Funding. In the event of a Change in Control (other than an acquisition resulting in the acquirer being the beneficial owner of less than 50% of the Company’s voting securities), the Company shall, not later than
30 days after the time of such Change in Control, have established one or more rabbi trusts and shall deposit therein cash in an amount sufficient to provide for full payment of all potential cash obligations of the Company that have arisen or would
arise as a result such Change in Control and a subsequent termination of Executive’s employment under Section 7(c) or 7(d). Such rabbi trust(s) shall be irrevocable and shall provide that the Company may not, directly or indirectly, use or
recover any assets of the trust(s) until such time as all obligations which potentially could arise hereunder have been settled and paid in full, subject only to the claims of creditors of the Company in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the
Company. 
 (b) Reduction of Payments If Excise Tax Would Apply. In the event Executive becomes entitled to any amount of benefits
payable in connection with a Change in Control or other change in control (whether or not such amounts are payable pursuant to this Agreement) (the “Severance Payments”) and Executive’s receipt of such Severance Payments would cause
Executive to become subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code (or any similar federal, state, or local tax that may hereafter be imposed), the 

  

 15 








 
Company shall reduce the Severance Payments to the extent necessary to avoid the application of the Excise Tax if, as a result of such reduction, the net
benefits to Executive of the Severance Payments as so reduced (after payment of applicable income taxes) exceeds the net benefit to Executive of the Severance Payments without such reduction (after payment of applicable income taxes and excise
taxes). Unless Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different order to the Company to effectuate the foregoing, the Company shall reduce the Severance Payments by first reducing the portion of the Severance Payments which are
not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, in each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the Change in Control. Any notice given by the Executive pursuant
to the preceding sentence shall take precedence over the provisions of any other plan, arrangement or agreement governing the Executive’s rights and entitlements to any benefits or compensation. The determination that Executive’s Severance
Payments would cause him to become subject to the Excise Tax and the calculation of the amount of any reduction, shall be made, at the Company’s discretion, by the Company’s outside auditing firm or by a nationally-recognized accounting or
benefits consulting firm designated by the Company prior to a Change in Control. The firm’s expenses shall be paid by the Company. 
  

	11.	Non-Competition and Non-Disclosure; Executive Cooperation; Non-Disparagement. 

 (a) Noncompetition Agreement. Executive and the Company and the Operating Partnership shall execute a Noncompetition Agreement within sixty (60) days from
            , 2007 that shall only apply during the Term and for a period of one year following a Change in Control. 
 (b) Non-Solicitation. Without the consent in writing of the Board, Executive will not, at any time during the Term and for the length of the
Severance Period, acting alone or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly (i) induce any customers of the Company or any of its affiliates with whom Executive has had contacts or relationships, directly or indirectly, during and
within the scope of his employment with the Company or any of its affiliates, to curtail or cancel their business with the Company or any such affiliate; (ii) induce, or attempt to influence, any employee of the Company or any of its affiliates
to terminate employment; or (iii) solicit or assist any third party in the solicitation of, any person who is an employee of the Company or any affiliate; provided, however, that activities engaged in by or on behalf of the Company are not
restricted by this covenant. The provisions of subparagraphs (i), (ii), and (iii) above are separate and distinct commitments independent of each of the other subparagraphs. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11(b) to the contrary,
Executive is permitted to solicit any individual who served as his executive assistant during the Term. 
 (c) Non-Disclosure; Ownership
of Work. Executive shall not, at any time during the Term and thereafter (including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), disclose, use, transfer, or sell, except in the course of employment with or other service
to the Company, any proprietary information, secrets, organizational or employee information, or other confidential information belonging or relating to the Company and its affiliates and customers so long as such information has not otherwise been
disclosed through no wrongdoing of the Executive or an individual under a similar restriction or is not otherwise in the public domain, 
  

 16 








 
except as required by law or pursuant to legal process. In addition, upon termination of employment for any reason, Executive will return to the Company or
its affiliates all documents and other media containing information belonging or relating to the Company or its affiliates. Executive will promptly disclose in writing to the Company all inventions, discoveries, developments, improvements and
innovations (collectively referred to as “Inventions”) that Executive has conceived or made during the Term; provided, however, that in this context “Inventions” are limited to those which (i) relate in any manner to the
existing or contemplated business activities of the Company and its affiliates; (ii) are suggested by or result from Executive’s work at the Company; or (iii) result from the use of the time, materials or facilities of the Company and
its affiliates. All Inventions will be the Company’s property rather than Executive’s. Should the Company request it, Executive agrees to sign any document that the Company may reasonably require to establish ownership in any Invention.

 (d) Cooperation With Regard to Litigation . Executive agrees to cooperate with the Company, during the Term and thereafter
(including following Executive’s termination of employment for any reason), by making himself available to testify on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil,
criminal, administrative, or investigative, and to assist the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, in any such action, suit, or proceeding, by providing information and meeting and consulting with the Board or its representatives
or counsel, or representatives or counsel to the Company, or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company, as may be reasonably requested and after taking into account Executive’s post-termination responsibilities and obligations. The Company
agrees to reimburse Executive, on an after-tax basis, for all reasonable expenses actually incurred in connection with his provision of testimony or assistance. 
 (e) Non-Disparagement. Executive shall not, at any time during the Term and thereafter make statements or representations, or otherwise communicate, directly or indirectly, in writing, orally, or otherwise, or
take any action which may, directly or indirectly, disparage or be damaging to the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates or their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, businesses or reputations, nor shall members of the Board of
Directors or Executive’s successor in office make any such statements or representations regarding Executive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Executive or his successor or members of the Board of
Directors from making truthful statements that are required by applicable law, regulation or legal process. 
 (f) Release of Employment
Claims. Executive agrees, as a condition to receipt of any termination payments and benefits provided for in Sections 6 and 7 herein (other than Compensation Accrued at Termination) (the “Termination Benefits”), that he will execute a
general release in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. 
 (g) Forfeiture of Outstanding Options and Other Equity
Awards. The provisions of Sections 6 and 7 notwithstanding, if Executive fails to comply with the restrictive covenants under Section 11(a) – (c), all options to purchase Common Stock and other equity awards granted by the Company at
and after the Effective Date and then held by Executive or a transferee of Executive shall be immediately forfeited and thereupon such options and equity awards shall be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not forfeit any
option or equity award unless and until there shall have been delivered to him, within six months after 
  

 17 








 
the Board (i) had knowledge of conduct or an event allegedly constituting grounds for such forfeiture and (ii) had reason to believe that such
conduct or event could be grounds for such forfeiture, a copy of a resolution duly adopted by a majority affirmative vote of the membership of the Board (excluding Executive) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such purpose (after giving
Executive reasonable notice specifying the nature of the grounds for such forfeiture and not less than 30 days to correct the acts or omissions complained of, if correctable, and affording Executive the opportunity, together with his counsel, to be
heard before the Board) finding that, in the good faith opinion of the Board, Executive has engaged in conduct set forth in this Section 11(g) which constitutes grounds for forfeiture of Executive’s options and equity awards; provided,
however, that if any option is exercised or equity award is settled after delivery of such notice and the Board subsequently makes the determination described in this sentence, Executive shall be required to pay to the Company an amount equal to the
difference between the aggregate value of the shares acquired upon such exercise of the option at the date of the Board determination and the aggregate exercise price paid by Executive and an amount equal to the fair market value of the shares
delivered in settlement of the equity award at the date of such determination (net of any cash payment for the shares by Executive). Any such forfeiture shall apply to such options notwithstanding any term or provision of any option agreement. In
addition, options and equity awards granted to Executive on or after the Effective Date, and gains resulting from the exercise of such options and settlement of such equity awards, shall be subject to forfeiture in accordance with the Company’s
standard policies relating to such forfeitures and clawbacks, as such policies are in effect at the time of grant of such options or equity awards. 
 (h) Survival. The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of the Term and any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 
 (i) Remedies. Executive agrees that any breach of the terms of this Section 11 would result in irreparable injury and damage to the Company for which the Company would have no adequate remedy at law;
Executive therefore also agrees that in the event of said breach or any threat of breach and notwithstanding Section 12, the Company shall be entitled to an immediate injunction and restraining order from a court of competent jurisdiction to
prevent such breach and/or threatened breach and/or continued breach by Executive and/or any and all persons and/or entities acting for and/or with Executive, without having to prove damages. The availability of injunctive relief shall be in
addition to any other remedies to which the Company may be entitled at law or in equity, but remedies other than injunctive relief may only be pursued in an arbitration brought in accordance with Section 12. The terms of this paragraph shall
not prevent the Company from pursuing in an arbitration any other available remedies for any breach or threatened breach of this Section 11, including but not limited to the recovery of damages from Executive. Executive hereby further agrees
that, if it is ever determined, in an arbitration brought in accordance with Section 12, that willful actions by Executive have constituted wrongdoing that contributed to any material misstatement or omission from any report or statement filed
by the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or material fraud against the Company, then the Company, or its successor, as appropriate, may recover all of any award or payment made to Executive, less the amount of any net tax owed
by Executive with respect to such award or payment over the tax benefit to Executive from the repayment or return of the award or payment, pursuant to Section 7(c) or (d), and Executive agrees to repay and return such awards and amounts to the
Company within 30 calendar days 

  

 18 








 
of receiving notice from the Company that the Board has made the determination referenced above and accordingly the Company is demanding repayment pursuant
to this Section 11(i). The Company or its successor may, in its sole discretion, affect any such recovery by (i) obtaining repayment directly from Executive; (ii) setting off the amount owed to it against any amount or award that
would otherwise be payable by the Company to Executive; or (iii) any combination of (i) and (ii) above. 
  

	12.	Governing Law; Disputes; Arbitration. 

 (a)
Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by and is to be construed, administered, and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflicts of law principles. If under the governing law, any portion of
this Agreement is at any time deemed to be in conflict with any applicable statute, rule, regulation, ordinance, or other principle of law, such portion shall be deemed to be modified or altered to the extent necessary to conform thereto or, if that
is not possible, to be omitted from this Agreement. The invalidity of any such portion shall not affect the force, effect, and validity of the remaining portion hereof. If any court determines that any provision of Section 11 is unenforceable
because of the duration or geographic scope of such provision, it is the parties’ intent that such court shall have the power to modify the duration or geographic scope of such provision, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to render
the provision enforceable and, in its modified form, such provision shall be enforced. 
 (b) Reimbursement of Expenses in Enforcing
Rights. All reasonable costs and expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Executive in negotiating this Agreement shall be paid on behalf of or reimbursed to Executive promptly by the Company. All reasonable costs and
expenses (including fees and disbursements of counsel) incurred by Executive in seeking to interpret this Agreement or enforce rights pursuant to this Agreement (A) prior to a Change in Control, shall be paid on behalf of or reimbursed to
Executive promptly by the Company provided the Executive is the prevailing party, and (B) after a Change in Control, shall be paid on behalf of or reimbursed to Executive promptly by the Company regardless of whether Executive is the prevailing
party, provided that no reimbursement shall be made of such expenses relating to any unsuccessful assertion of rights if and to the extent that Executive’s assertion of such rights was in bad faith or frivolous, as determined by arbitrators in
accordance with Section 12(c) or a court having jurisdiction over the matter. 
 (c) Arbitration. Any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement shall be settled exclusively by arbitration in Los Angeles, California by three arbitrators in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American
Arbitration Association in effect at the time of submission to arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrators’ award in any court having jurisdiction. For purposes of entering any judgment upon an award rendered by the arbitrators, the
Company and Executive hereby consent to the jurisdiction of any or all of the following courts: (i) the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, (ii) any of the courts of the State of California, or
(iii) any other court having jurisdiction. The Company and Executive further agree that any service of process or notice requirements in any such proceeding shall be satisfied if the rules of such court relating thereto have been substantially
satisfied. The Company and Executive hereby waive, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection which it 

  

 19 








 
may now or hereafter have to such jurisdiction and any defense of inconvenient forum. The Company and Executive hereby agree that a judgment upon an award
rendered by the arbitrators may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Subject to Section 12(b), the Company shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any
arbitration proceeding pursuant to this Section 12. Notwithstanding any provision in this Section 12, Executive shall be paid compensation due and owing under this Agreement during the pendency of any dispute or controversy arising under
or in connection with this Agreement. 
 (d) Interest on Unpaid Amounts. Any amount which has become payable pursuant to the terms of
this Agreement or any decision by arbitrators or judgment by a court of law pursuant to this Section 12 but which has not been timely paid shall bear interest at the prime rate in effect at the time such amount first becomes payable, as quoted
by the Company’s principal bank. 
 (e) LIMITATION ON LIABILITIES. IF EITHER EXECUTIVE OR THE COMPANY IS AWARDED ANY DAMAGES AS
COMPENSATION FOR ANY BREACH OR ACTION RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, A BREACH OF ANY COVENANT CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT (WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED BY EITHER LAW OR FACT), OR ANY OTHER CAUSE OF ACTION BASED IN WHOLE OR IN PART ON ANY BREACH OF ANY
PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SUCH DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED TO CONTRACTUAL AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES PLUS INTEREST ON ANY DELAYED PAYMENT AT THE MAXIMUM RATE PER ANNUM ALLOWABLE BY APPLICABLE LAW FROM AND AFTER THE DATE(S) THAT SUCH PAYMENTS WERE DUE
AND SHALL EXCLUDE PUNITIVE DAMAGES EVEN IF THE RULES REFERRED TO IN SECTION 12(C) WOULD PROVIDE OTHERWISE. 
 (f) WAIVER OF JURY
TRIAL. TO THE EXTENT APPLICABLE, EACH OF THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT HEREBY AGREES TO WAIVE ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL FOR ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DEALINGS BETWEEN THEM
RELATING TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT. This provision is subject to Section 12(C), requiring arbitration of disputes hereunder.

	13.	Miscellaneous. 

 (a) Integration. This
Agreement cancels and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings between the parties hereto with respect to the employment of Executive by the Company, any parent or predecessor company, and the Company’s subsidiaries during the
Term, including the Prior Employment Agreement, but excluding existing contracts relating to compensation under executive compensation and employee benefit plans of the Company and its subsidiaries. The foregoing notwithstanding, Executive shall not
participate in the Company’s Employee Protection Program unless the aggregate benefits provided under such plan would exceed the aggregate benefits provided to Executive under this Agreement upon termination of employment, in which case
Executive shall only receive the excess amount provided under the Company’s Employee Protection Program. Executive shall remain entitled to any right or benefit under a Change-in-Control Agreement executed by the Company and Executive, for so
long as such Change-in-Control Agreement remains in effect, if and to the extent that such right or benefit is more favorable than a corresponding provision of this Agreement, but no payment or benefit under the Change-in-Control Agreement shall be
made or extended which duplicates any payment or benefit hereunder. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the matters herein provided, and no modification or waiver of any provision hereof shall be
effective unless in writing and signed by the parties hereto. Executive shall not be entitled to any payment or benefit under this Agreement which duplicates a payment or benefit received or receivable by Executive under such prior agreements and
understandings or under any benefit or compensation plan of the Company.

 EXHIBIT A 1 
 For and in

separation from employment with the Affiliated Entities, which the Executive now has or may have against the Released Parties, whether known or unknown to the Executive, by reason of facts which have occurred on or prior to the date that the

derivative of the Executive’s employment with the Affiliated Entities, as well as any and all such claims under state contract or tort law. 
 The Executive has read this Release carefully, acknowledges that the Executive has been given at least 21 days to consider all of its terms and has been advised to consult with any attorney and any other advisors of the Executive’s

any rights and claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act. The Executive also understands that the Executive has a period of seven days after signing this

obligations or other benefits payable pursuant to the terms of the Company’s normal payroll practices or employee benefit plans. Finally, the Executive has not been forced or pressured in any manner whatsoever to sign this Release, and the
Executive agrees to all of its terms voluntarily. 
 Notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, this Release shall not affect:

or obligations under any pension, deferred compensation or retention plan) provided by the Affiliated Entities where the Executive’s compensation or benefits are intended to continue or the Executive is to be provided with compensation or
benefits, in accordance with the express written terms of such plan, program or arrangement, beyond the date of the Executive’s termination; (ii) rights to indemnification the Executive may have under the Employment Agreement or a separate
agreement entered into with the Company; or (iii) rights Executive may have as a shareholder, unit holder or prior member of the operating partnership. 
 This Release is final and binding and may not be changed or modified except in a writing signed by both parties. Section 12 of the Employment Agreement shall apply to this Release.
