ARTICLE I




THE MERGER



     Section 1.01 THE MERGER. At the Effective Time (as defined below), and subject to and upon the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and in accordance with the DLLCA, Merger Sub shall be merged with and into the
SPE, whereby the separate existence of Merger Sub shall cease, and the SPE shall continue its
existence under Delaware law as the surviving entity (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the
“Surviving Entity”).



     Section 1.02 EFFECTIVE TIME. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, concurrently with or as
soon as practicable after (i) the execution by the REIT of the Underwriting Agreement and (ii)
following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VII, the Operating
Partnership, Merger Sub and the SPE shall file a certificate of merger or similar document with
respect to the Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) as may be required by the DLLCA, with
the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, providing that the Merger shall become effective
upon filing or at such later date and time set forth in the Certificate of Merger that is not more
than thirty (30) days after the acceptance of the Certificate of Merger by the Secretary of State
of the State of Delaware for record (the “Effective Time”), together with any certificates
and other filings or recordings related thereto, in such forms as are required by, and executed in
accordance with, the relevant provisions of the DLLCA.



     Section 1.03 EFFECT OF THE MERGER. At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in this Agreement, the
Certificate of Merger and the applicable provisions of the DLLCA.



     Section 1.04 CERTIFICATE OF FORMATION; LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AGREEMENT. At the Effective Time, (i) the certificate of formation of the Merger Sub, as in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the certificate of formation of the Surviving
Entity until thereafter amended as provided therein or in accordance with the DLLCA, and (ii) the
Limited Liability Company Agreement of the Merger Sub, as amended and restated and in effect
immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the limited liability company agreement of the
Surviving Entity until thereafter amended as provided therein or in accordance with the DLLCA.



     Section 1.05 CONVERSION OF SPE MEMBERSHIP INTERESTS.



          (a) Under and subject to the terms and conditions of the respective Formation Transaction
Documentation, as the result of an irrevocable election indicated on a Consent Form
submitted by a Pre-Formation Participant or as a result of the failure of a Pre-Formation
Participant to submit a Consent Form, each Pre-Formation Participant is irrevocably bound to accept
and entitled to receive, as a result of and upon consummation of the Merger or other Formation
Transactions, a specified share of the sponsors’ value of the Younan Entities as a whole in the
form of the right to receive cash, REIT Shares and/or OP Units as calculated in Section
1.05(b).




3









 








          (b) At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of the
Operating Partnership, the SPE or the holders of any interest in the SPE, except as set forth in
Section 1.05(c), each SPE LLC Interest shall be converted automatically into the right to
receive cash, OP Units and/or REIT Shares with an aggregate value equal to the Allocated Share of
the Entity Value represented by such SPE LLC Interest (collectively referred to as the “Merger
Consideration”) and each holder that receives OP Units in the Merger shall upon receipt of such
OP Units, be admitted as a limited partner of the Operating Partnership in accordance with the
DLLCA and the Operating Partnership Agreement.




     Subject to Section 1.07 and Section 2.02(c), the form of payment of the Merger
Consideration for each SPE LLC Interest so converted shall be as follows:




          (i) Cash: 100% of the Allocated Share of Entity Value for each SPE LLC
Interest held by a Pre-Formation Participant who is not an Accredited Investor shall be
paid in cash.




          (ii) OP Units. The Elected OP Unit Percentage of the Allocated Share of
Entity Value for each SPE LLC Interest or portion thereof held by a Pre-Formation
Participant who is an Accredited Investor shall be distributed in the form of a number of
OP Units equal to the applicable portion of such Allocated Share divided by the IPO Price.




          (iii) REIT Shares. The Elected REIT Shares Percentage of the Allocated Share
of Entity Value for each SPE LLC Interest or portion thereof held by a Pre-Formation
Participant who is an Accredited Investor shall be distributed in the form of a number of
REIT Shares equal to the applicable portion of such Allocated Share divided by the IPO
Price; provided that to the extent such distribution of REIT Shares to the holder of the
SPE LLC Interests would result in a violation of the restrictions on ownership and transfer
set forth in Section 6.2.1(a) of the REIT’s charter (the “Ownership Limits”), such
holder shall receive (x) the maximum number of REIT Shares that would not result in a
violation of the Ownership Limits, and (y) that number of OP Units equal to the remaining
number of REIT Shares included in the Elected REIT Shares Percentage for such SPE LLC
Interest.



          (c) Each SPE LLC Interest issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time that
is owned by the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any of their direct or indirect wholly-owned
Subsidiaries (having been previously acquired by the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any such
Subsidiary thereof pursuant to the other Formation Transactions) shall remain issued and
outstanding, and no consideration shall be delivered hereunder in exchange therefor.




     Section 1.06 CANCELLATION AND RETIREMENT OF SPE LLC INTERESTS. Each SPE LLC Interest converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant
to Section 1.05(b) shall no longer be outstanding and shall automatically be cancelled and
retired and shall cease to exist, and each holder of such SPE LLC Interest so converted shall
thereafter cease to have any rights as a member of the SPE, except the right to receive the Merger
Consideration applicable thereto.



4









 





     Section 1.07 FRACTIONAL INTERESTS. No fractional OP Units or REIT Shares shall be issued in the Merger. All fractional OP
Units or REIT Shares that a holder of SPE LLC Interests would otherwise be entitled to receive as a
result of the Merger and the other Formation Transactions shall be aggregated, and each holder
shall receive the number of whole OP Units or REIT Shares resulting from such aggregation and, in
lieu of any fractional OP Unit or REIT Share resulting from such aggregation, an amount in cash
determined by multiplying that fraction of an OP Unit or REIT Share, as applicable, to which such
holder would otherwise have been entitled, by the IPO Price. No interest will be paid or will
accrue on any cash paid or payable in lieu of any fractional OP Unit or REIT Share.



     Section 1.08 CALCULATION OF MERGER CONSIDERATION.



          (a) As soon as practicable following the determination of the IPO Price and prior to the
Effective Time, all calculations relating to the Merger Consideration shall be performed in good
faith by, or under the direction of, the REIT, and shall be final and binding upon the holders of
SPE LLC Interests.




     Section 1.09 TRANSACTION COSTS. If the Closing occurs, the REIT and the Operating Partnership shall be solely responsible
for all transaction costs and expenses of the REIT, the Operating Partnership and the Younan
Entities in connection with the Formation Transactions and the IPO, which include, but are not
limited to, the underwriting discounts and commissions.



ARTICLE II




CLOSING; TERM OF AGREEMENT



     Section 2.01 CLOSING. Unless this Agreement shall have been terminated pursuant to Section 2.05, and
subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions in Article VII, the filing of the
Certificates of Merger, the Effective Time and the closing of the other transactions contemplated
by this Agreement shall be the day on which the REIT receives the proceeds from the IPO from the
underwriters (the “Closing” or the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall take place
at the offices of Latham & Watkins LLP, 355 South Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, California 90071 or
such other
place as determined by the REIT in its sole discretion. The Closing hereunder and the closing
of the IPO shall be deemed concurrent for all purposes.



     Section 2.02 PAYMENT OF MERGER CONSIDERATION.



          (a) As soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity (or its
successor in interest) shall deliver to each holder of SPE LLC Interests whose SPE LLC Interests
have been converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration pursuant to Section
1.05(b) hereof, the Merger Consideration payable to such holder in the amounts and form
provided in Section 1.05(b) hereof. The issuance of the OP Units and admission of the
recipients thereof as limited partners of the Operating Partnership pursuant to Section
1.05(b) shall be evidenced by an amendment to Exhibit A of the Operating Partnership Agreement,
and the Operating Partnership shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, an executed copy of such
amendment to each Pre-Formation Participant receiving OP Units hereunder. Each

OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK WHICH CAUSES OR WILL CAUSE A PERSON TO BENEFICIALLY OR
CONSTRUCTIVELY OWN SHARES OF CAPITAL STOCK IN EXCESS OR IN VIOLATION OF THE ABOVE
LIMITATIONS MUST IMMEDIATELY NOTIFY THE CORPORATION. IF ANY OF THE RESTRICTIONS ON
TRANSFER OR OWNERSHIP SET FORTH IN (I) THROUGH (III) ABOVE ARE VIOLATED, THE SHARES
OF



6









 






CAPITAL STOCK REPRESENTED HEREBY WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED TO A TRUSTEE
OF A TRUST FOR THE BENEFIT OF ONE OR MORE CHARITABLE BENEFICIARIES. IN ADDITION, THE
CORPORATION MAY TAKE OTHER ACTIONS, INCLUDING REDEEMING SHARES UPON THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS SPECIFIED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION
IF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DETERMINES THAT OWNERSHIP OR A TRANSFER OR OTHER EVENT MAY
VIOLATE THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. FURTHERMORE, UPON THE OCCURRENCE OF
CERTAIN EVENTS, ATTEMPTED TRANSFERS IN VIOLATION OF THE RESTRICTIONS DESCRIBED ABOVE
MAY BE VOID AB INITIO. ALL CAPITALIZED TERMS IN THIS LEGEND HAVE THE MEANINGS
DEFINED IN THE CHARTER OF THE CORPORATION, AS THE SAME MAY BE AMENDED FROM TIME TO
TIME, A COPY OF WHICH, INCLUDING THE RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER AND OWNERSHIP, WILL BE
FURNISHED TO EACH HOLDER OF CAPITAL STOCK OF THE CORPORATION ON REQUEST AND WITHOUT
CHARGE. REQUESTS FOR SUCH A COPY MAY BE DIRECTED TO THE SECRETARY OF THE CORPORATION
AT ITS PRINCIPAL OFFICE.



          (b) The Surviving Entity (or its successor in interest) shall not be liable to any holder of
SPE LLC Interests for any portion of the Merger Consideration delivered to a public official
pursuant to any applicable abandoned property, escheat or similar Law.




          (c) So long as some portion of the Merger Consideration is in the form of OP Units, the
parties hereto intend and agree that, for United States federal income tax purposes, the Merger
shall constitute an “assets-over” partnership merger within the meaning of Treasury Regulations
Section 1.708-1(c)(3)(i), and, as a result, that (i) any payment of cash or REIT Shares for SPE LLC
Interests of such holder shall be treated as a sale of such SPE LLC Interests by the holder and a
purchase of such SPE LLC Interests by the Operating Partnership for the cash and/or REIT Shares so
paid under the terms of this Agreement in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section
1.708-1(c)(4), and (ii) each such holder of SPE LLC Interests who accepts
cash and/or REIT Shares shall explicitly agree and consent (the “Sale Consent”) to
such treatment in their Consent Form as a condition to electing such consideration. To the extent
the Operating Partnership acquires any SPE LLC Interests as described above, or previously acquired
such interests, for United States federal income tax purposes the receipt by the Operating
Partnership of the portion of property attributable to such SPE LLC Interests shall be treated as a
distribution by the SPE LLC in redemption of such SPE LLC Interests. Notwithstanding Section
1.05(b) and any holder’s election as to the form of their Merger Consideration, if any holder
(other than a non-accredited investor) fails to execute a Sale Consent prior to the Closing, such
holder’s Merger Consideration shall consist solely of OP Units. Any cash paid as the Merger
Consideration to a non-accredited investor for a SPE LLC Interests shall be paid only after the
receipt of a Sale Consent from such holder.




     Section 2.03 TAX WITHHOLDING. The REIT, the Operating Partnership, Merger Sub and the SPE, as applicable, shall be
entitled to deduct and withhold from the consideration payable pursuant to this Agreement to any
holder of SPE LLC Interests such amounts required to



7









 




be deducted and withheld with respect to the
making of such payment under the Code or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the
extent that amounts are so withheld, such withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of
this Agreement as having been paid to the holder of SPE LLC Interests in respect of which such
deduction and withholding was made.




     Section 2.04 FURTHER ACTION. If, at any time after the Effective Time, the Surviving Entity shall determine or be
advised that any deeds, bills of sale, assignments, assurances or any other actions or things are
necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm of record or otherwise in the Surviving Entity
the right, title or interest in, to or under any of the rights, properties or assets of the SPE
acquired or to be acquired by the Surviving Entity as a result of, or in connection with, the
Merger or otherwise to carry out this Agreement, the Surviving Entity shall be authorized to
execute and deliver, in the name and on behalf of each of the Operating Partnership and the SPE or
otherwise, all such deeds, bills of sale, assignments and assurances and to take and do, in the
name and on behalf of each of the Operating Partnership and the SPE or otherwise, all such other
actions and things as may be necessary or desirable to vest, perfect or confirm any and all right,
title and interest in, to and under such rights, properties or assets in the Surviving Entity or
otherwise to carry out this Agreement.



     Section 2.05 TERM OF THE AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall terminate automatically if (i) the initial registration statement of
the REIT for the IPO (the “Registration Statement”) has not been filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) by August 31, 2010, or (ii) the Merger shall not have been
consummated on or prior to March 31, 2011 (such date is hereinafter referred to as the “Outside
Date”).



     Section 2.06 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason, all obligations on the part
of the REIT, the Merger Sub and the SPE under this Agreement shall terminate, except that the
obligations set forth in Article VIII shall survive; it being understood and agreed, however, for
the avoidance of doubt, that if this Agreement is terminated because one or more of the conditions
to a non-breaching party’s obligations under this Agreement are not satisfied by the Outside Date
as a result of the other party’s material breach of a covenant, representation, warranty or other
obligation under this Agreement or any other Formation Transaction Documentation, the non-breaching
party’s right to pursue all legal remedies with respect to such breach will survive such
termination unimpaired.



     If this Agreement shall terminate for any reason prior to completion of the Formation
Transactions, the Younan Entities shall bear all transaction costs and expenses related thereto in
proportion to their Allocable Percentage (as defined in Schedule II hereto).

consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except as would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have an OP Material Adverse Effect.



     Section 3.09 NO BROKER. Each of the Operating Partnership and Merger Sub has not entered into, and covenants that
it will not enter into, any agreement, arrangement or

finder’s fees, brokerage commission or similar payment in connection with the transaction

Property and to carry on its business as presently conducted. Each SPE Subsidiary, to the extent
required under applicable Laws, is qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the character of its Property make such

in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPE Material Adverse Effect.




11









 








     Section 4.02 DUE AUTHORIZATION. The execution, delivery and performance by the SPE of this Agreement and the other
Formation Transaction Documentation (including any agreement, document and instrument executed and
delivered by or on behalf of the SPE pursuant to this Agreement or the other Formation Transaction
Documentation) to which it is a party have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary
actions required of the SPE. This Agreement, the other Formation Transaction Documentation and
each agreement, document and instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of the SPE pursuant
to this Agreement or the other Formation
Transaction Documentation constitutes, or when executed and delivered will constitute, the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the SPE, each enforceable against the SPE in accordance with
its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar Laws relating
to creditors’ rights and general principles of equity.



     Section 4.03 CAPITALIZATION. Schedule 4.03 sets forth as of the date hereof the ownership of the SPE. All of
the issued and outstanding equity interests of the SPE are duly organized, validly issued and fully
paid; and, to the knowledge of the SPE, and are not subject to preemptive rights or appraisal,
dissenters’ or other similar rights under the organizational documents of or any contract to which
the SPE is a party or otherwise bound.



     Section 4.04 CONSENTS AND APPROVALS. Except as shall have been satisfied on or prior to the Closing Date, no consent, waiver,
approval, authorization, order, license, permit or registration of, qualification, designation,
declaration, or filing with, any Person or any Governmental Authority or under any applicable Laws
is required to be obtained by the SPE or any of the SPE Subsidiaries in connection with the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Formation Transaction
Documentation to which the SPE or any of the SPE Subsidiaries is a party and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, except for those consents, waivers, approvals, authorizations,
orders, licenses, permits, registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations or filings,
the failure of which to obtain or to file would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably
be expected to have a SPE Material Adverse Effect.



     Section 4.05 NO VIOLATION. None of the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement, any agreement
contemplated hereby between the parties to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby
between the parties to this Agreement does or will, with or without the giving of notice, lapse of
time, or both, violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or constitute a default under or give
to others any right of termination, acceleration, cancellation or other right under, (A) the
organizational documents of the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary (B) any agreement, document or instrument
to which the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary or any of their respective assets or properties are bound by
or (C) any term or provision of any judgment, order, writ, injunction, or decree binding on the SPE
or any SPE Subsidiary, except for, in the case of clause (B) or (C), any such breaches or defaults
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPE Material
Adverse Effect.



     Section 4.06 LICENSES AND PERMITS. To the knowledge of the SPE, all notices, licenses, permits, certificates and
authorizations required for the continued use, occupancy, management, leasing and operation of the
Properties have been obtained or can be obtained without material cost, are in full force and
effect, are in good standing and (to the extent required in connection with the transactions
contemplated by the Formation Transaction Documentation)



12









 




are assignable to the Operating
Partnership, except in each case for items that, if not so obtained, obtainable and/or assigned,
would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPE Material
Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the SPE, none of the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary or any third
party has taken any action that (or failed to take any action the omission of which) would result
in the revocation of any such notice, license, permit, certificate or authorization where such
revocation or revocations would, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
SPE Material Adverse Effect, nor has any of them received any written notice of violation from any
Governmental Authority or written notice of the intention of any entity to revoke any of them, that
in each case has not been cured or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of such Governmental
Authority and that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
SPE Material Adverse Effect.




     Section 4.07 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. To the knowledge of the SPE, the SPE and each SPE Subsidiary have conducted their business
in compliance with all applicable Laws, except for such failures that would not, individually or in
the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPE Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of
the SPE, none of the SPE, any SPE Subsidiary or any third party has been informed in writing of any
continuing violation of any such Laws or that any investigation has been commenced and is
continuing or is contemplated respecting any such possible violation, except in each case for
violations that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPE
Material Adverse Effect.



     Section 4.08 PROPERTIES.



          (a) The SPE or a SPE Subsidiary set forth on Schedule 4.08(a) is insured under a
policy of title insurance as the owner of, and, to the knowledge of the SPE, the SPE or a SPE
Subsidiary is the owner of, the fee simple estate (or, in the case of certain Properties, the
leasehold estate) to the Property identified on Schedule 4.08(a) as being owned by the SPE
or a SPE Subsidiary, in each case free and clear of all Liens except for Permitted Liens. Prior to
the Effective Time of the Merger contemplated hereby, none of the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary shall
take or omit to take any action to cause any Lien to attach to any Property, except for Permitted
Liens and Liens, if any, given to secure mortgage indebtedness encumbering such Property.




          (b) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a SPE Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of the SPE, (1) none of the SPE,
any SPE Subsidiary, nor any other party to any material agreement affecting any Property (other
than a Lease (as such term is hereinafter defined) for space within such Property), is in breach or
default of any such agreement, (2) no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which
with or without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would, individually or
together with all such other events, constitute a default under any such agreement, or would,
individually or together with all such other events, reasonably be expected to cause the
acceleration of any material obligation of any party thereto or the creation of a Lien upon any
asset of the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary, except for Permitted Liens, and (3) all agreements
affecting any Property required for the continued use, occupancy, management,
leasing and operation of such Property (exclusive of space Leases) are valid and binding and
in full force and effect.




13









 








          (c) To the knowledge of the SPE, as presently conducted, none of the operation of the
buildings, fixtures and other improvements comprising a part of the Properties is in violation of
any applicable building code, zoning ordinance or other “land use” Law, except for such violations
that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a SPE Material
Adverse Effect.




          (d) Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be
expected to have a SPE Material Adverse Effect, (1) to the knowledge of the SPE, none of the SPE,
any SPE Subsidiary, or any other party to any Lease, is in breach or default of any such Lease, (2)
to the knowledge of the SPE, no event has occurred or has been threatened in writing, which with or
without the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would, individually or together with
all such other events, constitute a default under any Lease, or would permit termination,
modification or acceleration under such Lease, and (3) to the knowledge of the SPE each of the
leases (and all amendments thereto or modifications thereof) to which the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary
is a party or by which the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary or any Property is bound or subject
(collectively, the “Leases”) is and will be valid and binding and in full force and effect.




     Section 4.09 INSURANCE. The SPE or a SPE Subsidiary has in place the public liability, casualty and other insurance
coverage with respect to each Property as the SPE reasonably deems necessary and in all cases
including such coverage as is required under the terms of any continuing loan or Lease. Each of
the insurance policies with respect to the Property is in full force and effect in all material
respects and all premiums due and payable thereunder have been fully paid when due. To the
knowledge of the SPE, neither the SPE nor any SPE Subsidiary has received from any insurance
company any notices of cancellation or intent to cancel any insurance.



     Section 4.10 ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS. Except for matters that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected
to have a SPE Material Adverse Effect, to the knowledge of the SPE, (A) the SPE and the SPE
Subsidiaries are in compliance with all Environmental Laws, (B) neither the SPE nor any SPE
Subsidiary have received any written notice from any Governmental Authority or third party alleging
that the SPE, any SPE Subsidiary or any Property is not in compliance with applicable Environmental
Laws, and (C) there has not been a release of a hazardous substance on any of the Properties that
would require investigation or remediation under applicable Environmental Laws. The
representations and warranties contained in this Section 4.10 constitute the sole and
exclusive representations and warranties made by the SPE concerning environmental matters.



     Section 4.11 EMINENT DOMAIN. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.11, there is no existing or, to the knowledge of
the SPE, proposed or threatened condemnation, eminent domain or similar proceeding, or private
purchase in lieu of such a proceeding which would affect any of the Properties, except for
such proceedings that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a
SPE Material Adverse Effect.



     Section 4.12 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The financial statements of the SPE included in the Prospectus have been prepared in all
material respects in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a
consistent basis during the periods



14









 




involved (except as may be indicated in the notes thereto),
subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments, and fairly
present in all material respects the financial condition and results of operations of the SPE as of
the dates indicated therein and for the periods ended as indicated therein.




     Section 4.13 TAXES. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.13, (i) the SPE and each of the SPE Subsidiaries
has timely and properly filed all Tax returns and reports required to be filed by it (after giving
effect to any filing extension properly granted by a Governmental Authority having authority to do
so) and all such returns and reports are accurate and complete in all material respects, and has
paid (or had paid on its behalf) all Taxes as required to be paid by it, (ii) no income or material
non-income Tax returns filed by the SPE or any SPE Subsidiaries are the subject of a pending or
ongoing audit, and (iii) except as would not have a SPE Material Adverse Effect, no deficiencies
for any Taxes have been proposed, asserted or assessed against the SPE or any of the SPE
Subsidiaries, and no requests for waivers of the time to assess any such Taxes are pending. Since
its formation, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the SPE has been treated as a partnership and
not as a corporation or an association taxable as a corporation, and each of its Subsidiaries has
been treated as a partnership or disregarded entity and not as a corporation or an association
taxable as a corporation.



     Section 4.14 LITIGATION. Except for actions, suits or proceedings covered by the policies of insurance described in
Section 4.09, to the knowledge of the SPE, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending
or, to the knowledge of the SPE, threatened against the SPE or any SPE Subsidiary, or any officer,
director, principal, managing member, general partner or Affiliate of any of the foregoing other
than actions, suits, proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business from the ownership and
operation of the Properties, which, if adversely determined, would have a SPE Material Adverse
Effect. There is no action, suit, or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the SPE, threatened
against or affecting the SPE, SPE Subsidiary or any officer, director, principal, managing member,
general partner or Affiliate of any of the foregoing, which challenges or impairs the ability of
the SPE to execute or deliver, or materially perform its obligations under, this Agreement and the
documents executed by it pursuant to this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby. There is no judgment, decree, injunction, rule or order of a Governmental
Authority outstanding against the SPE, SPE Subsidiary or any officer, director, principal, managing
member, general partner or Affiliate of any of the foregoing having, or which, insofar as
reasonably can be foreseen, in the future would have a SPE Material Adverse Effect.



     Section 4.15 NO INSOLVENCY PROCEEDINGS. No attachments, execution proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors,
insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings are pending or, to the SPE’s knowledge,
threatened against the SPE, nor are any such proceedings contemplated by the SPE.



     Section 4.16 SECURITIES LAW MATTERS.
The SPE acknowledges that: (i) the REIT and Operating Partnership intend the offer and
issuance of any REIT Shares or OP Units to any Pre-Formation Participant to be exempt from
registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws by virtue of the status
of such partner or member as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D under the Securities Act acquiring any REIT Shares or OP Units in a transaction exempt
from registration pursuant to



15









 




Rule 506 of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and (ii) in
issuing any REIT Shares or OP Units pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the REIT and Operating
Partnership are relying on the representations made by each partner or member electing to receive
REIT Shares or OP Units as consideration in the Merger, which representations were set forth in
Appendix D to the Request for Consent — Accredited Investor Representations Letter.




     Section 4.17 NO BROKER.
The SPE has not entered into, and covenants that it will not enter into, any agreement,
arrangement or understanding with any Person or firm which will result in the obligation of the
Operating Partnership or any Affiliate to pay any finder’s fee, brokerage commission or similar
payment in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (other than underwriting
discounts, commissions and other fees and expenses to be paid by the REIT in connection with the
IPO and any related financing transactions).



     Section 4.18 NO IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. Other than the representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Article IV, the
SPE shall not be deemed to have made any other representation or warranty in connection with this
Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.



     Section 4.19 OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN ASSETS. Except as set forth in Schedule 4.19, the SPE does not own any loan assets or other
securities of any issuer except for equity interests in other Younan Entities.



     Section 4.20 SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SPE. The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that the representations and warranties set forth
in this Article IV shall not survive the Closing.



     Section 4.21 NON-FOREIGN STATUS. The SPE is not a foreign person (as defined in the Code) and is not, therefore, subject to
the provisions of the Code relating to the withholding of sales or exchange proceeds to foreign
persons.



ARTICLE V




COVENANTS AND OTHER AGREEMENTS



     Section 5.01 PRE-CLOSING COVENANTS. During the period from the date hereof to the Closing Date (except as otherwise provided
for or contemplated by this Agreement or in connection with the Formation Transactions), the SPE
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (and to cause each of the SPE Subsidiaries to) conduct
its businesses and operate and maintain the Properties in the ordinary course of business
consistent with past practice and use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve intact its
current business organizations and preserve its relationships with customers, tenants, suppliers,
advertisers and others having business dealings with it, in each case consistent with past
practice. In addition, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, during the period
from the date hereof to the Closing Date and except in connection with the Formation Transactions,
the SPE shall not (and shall not permit any of the SPE Subsidiaries to) without the prior written
consent of the REIT:



          (a) (i) declare, set aside or pay any distributions in respect of any of the SPE LLC
Interests, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and in





16









 







accordance with the SPE LLC Agreement, (ii) issue or authorize the issuance of any other securities
in respect of, in lieu of or in substitution for any SPE LLC Interests or make any other changes to

preliminary injunctive relief in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Such courts shall have
authority to, among other things, grant temporary or provisional injunctive relief in order to
protect any party’s rights under this Agreement. Without prejudice to such provisional remedies as
may be available under the jurisdiction of a court, the arbitral tribunal shall have full authority
to grant provisional remedies and to direct the parties to request that any court modify or vacate
any temporary or preliminary relief issued by such court, and to award damages for the failure of
any party to respect the arbitral tribunal’s orders to that effect.




          (d) The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs and reasonable attorneys’
fees, and the non-prevailing party shall pay all expenses and fees of JAMS, all costs of the
stenographic record, all expenses of witnesses or proofs that may have been produced at the
direction of the arbitrator, and the fees, costs, and expenses of the arbitrator. The arbitrator
shall allocate such costs and designate the prevailing party or parties for these purposes.




     Section 8.09 SEVERABILITY. Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted so as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any provision is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law
in any jurisdiction, then such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability will not affect any other
provision, and this Agreement will be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if
such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been included herein.



     Section 8.10 RULES OF CONSTRUCTION.



          (a) The parties hereto agree that they have been represented by counsel during the
negotiation, preparation and execution of this Agreement and, therefore, waive the application of
any law, regulation, holding or rule of construction providing that ambiguities in an agreement or
other document will be construed against the party drafting such agreement or document.

otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular

to the articles, sections, paragraphs, exhibits and schedules of this Agreement unless otherwise
specified. Whenever the words “include,” “includes” or “including” are used in this Agreement,
they shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” All terms defined in this
Agreement shall have the defined meanings contained herein when used in any certificate or other
document made or delivered pursuant hereto unless otherwise defined therein. The definitions

and acknowledging the significance and consequence of such specific waiver of Section 1542 which

SCHEDULE II




Calculation of Target Entity Value



     For purposes of each Merger Agreement, “Entity Value” of the particular target entity subject
to such Merger Agreement shall be calculated pursuant to the formula set forth below. Capitalized
terms used in this Schedule II shall have the meanings set forth below and capitalized terms used
herein without definition shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Agreement.



EV = AP
x [TIV/(1-COP) –AA] + EA;



provided, however, that if the resulting Entity Value for a target entity subject to a Merger
Agreement is a negative amount (a “Net Deficit”), then the REIT shall exercise one of the
following options, as determined by the REIT in its sole and absolute discretion: (A) reduction of
the Entity Value attributable to either YIP or YPI, or any combination of the two, by an aggregate
amount equal to the Net Deficit plus $100,000, with the net effect that the recalculated Entity
Value for such target entity is at least $100,000, or (B) selection of the target entity to which
the Net Deficit is attributable as an Eliminated Entity,




where:




EV = Entity Value;

AP = Allocable Percentage;

TIV = Total Inside Value;

COP = Cash Out Percentage;

AA = Aggregate Adjustment; and

EA = Entity Adjustment.



“Actual Balance” shall mean: (i) with respect to each Existing Loan to be assumed in connection
with the IPO, the principal amount of and past due unpaid interest on such Existing Loan as of the
IPO Closing Date; (ii) with respect to each Existing Loan to be prepaid, repaid or refinanced in
connection with the IPO, the principal amount of and past due unpaid interest on such Existing Loan
to be prepaid, repaid or refinanced; (iii) the actual amount of cash to be paid to Passco Younan
Fund I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Passco”), or affiliated entity as of
the IPO Closing Date pursuant to the Passco Agreement; and (iv) the actual amount of cash to be
paid to Chung Hsien International LP, a Texas limited partnership (“CHI”), or affiliated
entity as of the IPO Closing Date pursuant to the CHI Agreement.



“Aggregate Adjustment” shall mean the sum (which may be a positive or negative number) of all
Entity Adjustments for every target entity, excluding Eliminated Entities.



“Allocable Percentage” shall mean with respect to each target entity subject to a Merger Agreement,
the percentage set forth opposite its name in Appendix B to this Schedule II; provided, however,
that in the event a target entity is selected as or otherwise becomes for any reason an Eliminated
Entity, then: (i) the Allocable Percentage for each remaining target entity subject to a Merger
Agreement shall be recalculated as a fraction, the numerator of which is the






 









 







original Allocable Percentage for such target entity and the denominator of which is (A) 100 minus
(B) the Allocable Percentage of the Eliminated Entity; and (ii) the Allocable Percentage of the
Eliminated Entity shall be zero and provided, further, that in the event a target entity is not
included in the Formation Transactions pursuant to a merger but a portion of the Pre-Formation
Interests in such entity is contributed to the Operating Partnership or a subsidiary of the
Operating Partnership (such entity, a “Contribution Target Entity”), then the Allocable
Percentage for the Contribution Target Entity and for each remaining target entity subject to a
Merger Agreement shall be proportionately adjusted to take into account the portion of the
Pre-Formation Interests in the Contribution Target Entity that will not be so contributed.



“Base Balance” shall mean: (i) with respect to each Existing Loan, the principal amount of such
Existing Loan set forth on Appendix C to this Schedule II; (ii) with respect to the Passco
Agreement $13,835,000; and (iii) with respect to the CHI Agreement $15,568,039.



“Cash Out Percentage” shall mean the sum (with such sum of percentages expressed as a decimal) for
all target entities of a percentage calculated for each target entity as follows: multiply the
aggregate Allocated Shares with respect to such target entity held by all non-accredited investors
in such target entity by the Allocable Percentage for such target entity.



“CHI Agreement” shall mean that certain agreement, by and between YGH Investments, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company (“YGHI”), and CHI or an affiliated entity, pursuant to which YGHI
will acquire all of CHI’s interests in 4041 Central Plaza, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company.



“Eliminated Entity” shall mean any target entity subject to a Merger Agreement that is excluded
pursuant to the terms of the Formation Transaction Documentation from the Formation Transactions.



“Entity Adjustment” shall mean with respect to each target entity that is an obligor with respect
to any Existing Loan, and if applicable to such target entity, that is subject to the Passco
Agreement or the CHI Agreement, the difference between the Base Balance minus the Actual Balance
(whether a positive or negative number) with respect to all Existing Loans relating to such target
entity, and if applicable the Passco Agreement and the CHI Agreement.



“Equity Plan” shall mean the incentive award plan to be adopted by the REIT upon completion of the
IPO.



“Existing Loan” shall mean each mortgage or mezzanine loan secured by a Property listed on Appendix
C to this Schedule II.



“Incentive Equity” shall mean the product of (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate number of REIT Shares
(x) actually awarded to employees and directors of the REIT under the Equity Plan as of the IPO
Closing Date and (B) the aggregate number of LTIP Units actually awarded to employees and directors
of the REIT under the Equity Plan as of the IPO Closing Date, whether vested or unvested; times
(ii) the IPO Price.







 









 







“LTIP Units” has the definition as set forth in the Equity Plan of the REIT.



“Passco Agreement” shall mean that certain agreement, by and between an affiliate of the Principal
and Passco or an affiliated entity pursuant to which such affiliate of the Principal has agreed to
purchase certain interests held by the Fund.



“Public Equity” shall mean the product of: (i) the aggregate number of REIT Shares sold to the
public in the IPO (excluding the over-allotment option, if any); times (ii) the IPO Price.



“Private Placement Equity” shall mean the product of: (i) the aggregate number of REIT Shares sold
to the Principal in a private placement completed in conjunction with the IPO; times (ii) the IPO
Price.



“Total Equity” shall mean the product of: (i) the sum of (A) the aggregate number of REIT Shares to
be outstanding immediately following the IPO Closing Date (excluding the over-allotment option, if
any), and (B) the aggregate number of OP Units (x) to be outstanding immediately following the IPO
Closing Date other than OP Units held by the REIT and (y) issuable upon conversion of LTIP Units
awarded under the Equity Plan as of the IPO Closing Date, whether vested or unvested; times (ii)
the IPO Price.



“Total Inside Value” shall mean the sum of: (i) Total Equity; minus (ii) Public Equity; minus (iii)
Private Placement Equity; minus (iv) Incentive Equity.



Attached as Appendix A to this Schedule II are calculations of hypothetical Entity Value for a
hypothetical Younan Entity for purposes of Article I of the Agreement based solely on current
estimates and a hypothetical amount of sponsors’ value of the Younan Entities as a whole. The
figures and calculations included in Appendix A are for illustrative purposes only and shall not be
binding on the REIT, the Operating Partnership or any Pre-Formation Participant.
