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.

THAN 100 PERSONS. ANY PERSON WHO BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY OWNS OR ATTEMPTS TO
BENEFICIALLY OR CONSTRUCTIVELY 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).

the other Formation Transaction Documentation, any agreement contemplated hereby between the
parties to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby between the parties to this

any of the Operating Partnership or Merger Sub, (B) any agreement, document or instrument to which

     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

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

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

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

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

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.

Agreement shall have the defined meanings contained herein when used in any certificate or other

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.
