CalSTRS hereby grants to TPG a one-time option (the “Redemption Option”), exercisable only during the Redemption Option Term described in Section 1.2 hereof, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to cause the Company to redeem and repurchase, and CalSTRS to transfer and assign to the Company, absolutely and unconditionally, all of CalSTRS’ right, title and interest in and to the Company, including, without limitation, all “Original Interests” and “CNP Additional Interests” (as such terms are defined in the Eighth Amendment to Company Operating Agreement) in, and all assets, capital, income, profits, distributions, cash flow and property of, the Company, including the interests of the Company in each of the Owner Entities and, indirectly, in each of the Company Projects and any and all rights of appraisal, rights of first offer, rights of first refusal, buy/sell rights and consent or approval rights, rights of indemnity in favor of CalSTRS with respect to any events occurring or arising after the Closing Date, and all legal and beneficial interests of CalSTRS in the Company (collectively, the “Redeemed Membership Interest”).

Provided that TPG has not validly exercised the Liquidation Option, the Redemption Option may be exercised by TPG satisfying each of the following conditions prior to the expiration of the Redemption Option Term:  (a) giving written notice to CalSTRS of its intent to exercise the Redemption Option in compliance with the requirements of this Section 1.3 (the “Redemption Exercise Notice”), (b) making the Redemption Deposit in compliance with Section 4.1.1, and (c) making the Equity Investor Disclosure (as defined herein); provided however, that the Redemption Option shall be deemed not exercised and not become effective in the event CalSTRS disapproves the Equity Investor Disclosure in accordance with Section 1.4.

TPG and CalSTRS shall each work diligently to resolve issues regarding the Equity Investor Disclosure in order for CalSTRS to fully consider such information and make its determination, by written notice to TPG, no later than 5:00 pm Pacific time on August 5, 2013, and the failure of CalSTRS to notify TPG by such time that the Equity Investor Disclosure is disapproved by CalSTRS shall constitute CalSTRS’ approval of the Equity Investor Disclosure.
1.5    Redemption Transactions.  Upon the exercise of the Redemption Option in accordance with Section 1.3, this Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement between CalSTRS and TPG to cause the Company to redeem the Redeemed Membership Interest on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  Effective upon the Redemption Closing, (a) TPG shall cause the Company to pay CalSTRS the Redemption Payment Amount (as defined herein) in immediately available funds, (b) CalSTRS shall transfer and assign to the Company the Redeemed Membership Interest and all other rights, entitlements and incidents of ownership which CalSTRS has or may have in or against the Company, (c) CalSTRS shall withdraw as a member of the Company, (d) CalSTRS shall cause its Representatives to the Management Committee of the Company to resign, and (d) CalSTRS agrees that TPG may thereafter amend the Company Operating Agreement without any consent or approval by, or written instrument executed by, CalSTRS.

2.2    Liquidation Option Term.  The term of the Liquidation Option (the “Liquidation Option Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and expire at 5:00 pm Pacific Time on July 31, 2013.
2.3    Exercise of Liquidation Option.  Provided that TPG has not validly exercised the Redemption Option, the Liquidation Option may be exercised by TPG satisfying each of the following conditions prior to the expiration of the Liquidation Option Term:  (a) giving written notice to CalSTRS of its intent to exercise the Liquidation Option in compliance with the requirements of this Section 2.3 (the “Liquidation Exercise Notice”), and (b) the Liquidation Deposit shall have been made in compliance with Section 4.2.1.

2.4    Liquidation Transactions.  Upon the exercise of the Liquidation Option in accordance with this Section 2.4, this Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement between CalSTRS and TPG to cause the Company to liquidate on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

The transactions described in this Section 2.4 are collectively referred to herein as the “Liquidation Transactions.”  With respect to any Equity Interests or Company Projects, the party hereto that is to receive such Equity Interests (and indirectly such Company Projects) in the Liquidation Transactions is referred to herein as the “Acquirer,” and the other party is referred to herein as the “Other Party.”  Accordingly, CalSTRS is the Acquirer (and TPG is the Other Party) with respect to City National Plaza and the City National Plaza Equity Interests, and TPG is the Acquirer (and CalSTRS is the Other Party) with respect to all other Company Projects and all other Equity Interests.

	
			
	 
	6

	 

	 

2.5    Dissolution and Wind Up of Company.  The consummation of the Liquidation Transactions shall be deemed to dissolve the Company, and thereafter TPG shall cause the Company to promptly wind up and terminate in accordance with Article IX of the Company Operating Agreement, except that all assets of the Company shall have been distributed to the Members as set forth herein rather than as set forth in Section 9.02 of the Company Operating Agreement, and the Company shall create reserves as set forth in Section 9.4.13.
                                                                ARTICLE 3     
EXISTING LOANS
3.1    Subject to Existing Loans.    The Company Projects are subject  to certain existing loans owing by the Owner Entities and their direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Existing Loans”) and the deeds of trust, security agreements, pledges and other documents and instruments evidencing or securing the Existing Loans (collectively, the “Existing Loan Documents”).  The Existing Loans include that certain unsecured loan made by Kings Capital Portfolio No. 9 LLC and Kenneth A. Picerne as Trustee of The Kenneth A. Picerne Trust Dated June 4, 1999, to a subsidiary of TPGA, which has an outstanding balance of $500,000.  After the Redemption Closing or the Liquidation Closing, as applicable, subject to any other agreement between the Company (or the Acquirer) and the Lender, the Owner Entities and such subsidiaries bound by the Existing Loan Documents shall remain liable to the lenders under the Existing Loan Documents (the “Existing Lenders”) in accordance with their respective terms, and the Company Projects shall remain subject to the liens securing the Existing Loans to the extent set forth therein.  Nothing herein is intended to restrict or prohibit the Company from effecting any modifications to the terms of the Existing Loans or Existing Loan Documents, provided that the Company (i) will not effect any modification to any Existing Loan until after the Redemption Closing or the Liquidation Closing, as applicable, and (ii) will not effect any modification to the Existing Loan on City National Plaza in the case of the Liquidation Transactions without the consent of CalSTRS.
3.2    Release of Company.  Notwithstanding Section 3.1, in connection with the Liquidation Transactions only (a) CalSTRS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (and TPG shall cooperate with such efforts without cost or expense or creating any additional liability or obligations), including by providing a replacement guarantor, to cause the Company to be released from all guaranties, indemnities and personal liabilities in connection with the Existing Loans with respect to City National Plaza, and (b) TPG shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (and CalSTRS shall cooperate with such efforts without cost or expense or creating any additional liability or obligations), including by providing a replacement guarantor, to cause the Company to be released from all guaranties, indemnities and personal liabilities in connection with the Existing Loans with respect to CityWest 1 & 2, CityWest 3 & 4 and San Felipe Plaza.

	
			
	 
	7

	 

	 

3.3    Lender Consents to Transactions.  The parties acknowledge that some of the Redemption Transactions and the Liquidation Transactions, including without limitation, the withdrawal of CalSTRS and admission of the Equity Investor as an investor in or member of, directly or indirectly, the Owner Entities or the Company, and any change in the structure of the Company as a parent entity or guarantor, may require the consent or approval of lenders or loan servicers in order to avoid a breach or default under the Existing Loan Documents (collectively, the “Lender Consents”).  TPG and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Lender Consents prior to the applicable Closing Date, and CalSTRS shall cooperate with TPG and the Company, without cost or expense or creating any additional liability or obligations, in obtaining such Lender Consents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge that the Existing Loans on Reflections I and Reflections II are currently in default, and that the Existing Loan on Fair Oaks Plaza is anticipated to be in default prior to such Closing Date, and agree that the term "Lender Consents" shall not be deemed to refer to any consents or approvals relating to the Existing Loans on such Company Projects.  Notwithstanding anything apparently to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, obtaining any Lender Consents shall not be a condition to the consummation of the Redemption Transactions or the Liquidation Transactions.
                                                                  ARTICLE 4     
PAYMENT AMOUNTS
4.1    Redemption Payment Amount.  In connection with the Redemption Transactions, TPG shall cause the Company to pay to CalSTRS the sum of Six Hundred Seventy-Eight Million Three Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Fourteen Dollars ($678,337,514), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 8.4 (as so adjusted as of the Redemption Closing Date, the “Redemption Payment Amount”).  The Redemption Payment Amount shall be payable as follows:
4.1.1    Redemption Deposit.  Prior to the expiration of the Redemption Option Term, TPG shall deposit in an interest-bearing account (the “Escrow Account”) established by First American Title Insurance Company (“Escrow Holder”), in cash or other immediately available funds, in addition to the Liquidation Deposit (as defined herein), the additional sum of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) (the “Redemption Deposit”).  The Escrow Account will be established and maintained by the Escrow Holder pursuant to a customary separate agreement to be entered into among the Escrow Holder, TPG, CalSTRS and the Company, provided that such separate agreement shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement.  The Redemption Deposit and the Liquidation Deposit in the total amount of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) shall be referred to in the aggregate as the “Total Deposit”.  The Escrow Holder shall hold the Total Deposit or any portion thereof in the Escrow Account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  All interest on such sum shall be deemed income of TPG, and TPG shall be responsible for the payment of all 

	
			
	 
	8

	 

	 

costs and fees imposed on the Escrow Account.  Nevertheless, all interest accrued on such sum shall be held and disbursed with, and deemed to be a part of, the “Total Deposit” for all purposes of this Agreement.  At the Redemption Closing, the Total Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be applied toward the Redemption Payment Amount and paid through escrow to CalSTRS.  Once the Redemption Option has been exercised, the Total Deposit is nonrefundable to TPG except as expressly provided in Section 7.1 or 11.2.
4.1.2    Balance of Redemption Payment Amount.  The balance of the Redemption Payment Amount over the Deposit shall be deposited by TPG into the Escrow Account and shall be paid through escrow to CalSTRS as a redemption payment at Closing in cash or other immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m.  Pacific time on the Redemption Closing Date.  
4.1.3    Deemed Capital Contribution and Distribution.  The Redemption Payment Amount shall be deemed to have been contributed by TPG to the Company as a capital contribution, and distributed by the Company to CalSTRS upon the Closing in redemption of the Redeemed Membership Interest and notwithstanding any other provisions of the Company Operating Agreement, CalSTRS shall thereafter have no other rights or interest in any amounts contributed to or distributed by the Company under the Company Operating Agreement, except for (i) its pro rata share of the release of reserves established in accordance with Section 8.4.14, and (ii) any final payments pursuant to the Final Redemption Closing Statement.
4.2    Liquidation Payment Amount.  In connection with the Liquidation Transactions, TPG shall cause the Company to  distribute to CalSTRS the sum of One Hundred Sixty-Three Million Eight Hundred Thirty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred Fourteen Dollars ($163,837,514), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 9.4 (as so adjusted as of the Liquidation Closing Date, the “Liquidation Payment Amount”).  The Liquidation Payment Amount shall be payable as follows:
4.2.1    Liquidation Deposit.  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement by all parties hereto, TPG shall deposit in the Escrow Account established by Escrow Holder, in cash or other immediately available funds, the sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (the “Liquidation Deposit”).  The Escrow Holder shall hold the Liquidation Deposit or any portion thereof in the Escrow Account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

If TPG and CalSTRS fail to agree upon a Final Liquidation Closing Statement, the disputed items shall be resolved by a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”), whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties.  The Accounting Firm shall resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the disputed items have been submitted to it.  The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by TPG and CalSTRS.
9.4.15    Interest.  If any payment to be made after Liquidation Closing under this Section 9.4 shall not be paid when due hereunder, the same shall bear interest (which shall be paid together with the applicable payment hereunder) from the date due until so paid at a rate per annum equal to the Prime Rate (as such rate may vary from time to time) as reported in The Wall Street Journal plus five percent (5%) (the “Default Rate”).  To the extent a payment provision in this Section 9.4 does not specify a period for payment, then for purposes hereof such payment shall be due within ten (10) calendar days of the date such payment obligation is triggered.
9.4.16    Exclusion of Northern Virginia Company Projects from Prorations and Adjustments to Liquidation Payment Amount.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Liquidation Payment Amount shall not be subject to adjustments or prorations relating to Reflections I, Reflections II or Fair Oaks Plaza.
9.4.17    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive Liquidation Closing.
                                                                  ARTICLE 10     
CITY NATIONAL PLAZA
10.1    CNP Third Party PSA.  Prior to the Effective Date, and continuing after the Effective Date so long as TPG has not exercised the Redemption Option in accordance herewith, in addition to, and without limitation of, its other rights under this Agreement or the Company Operating Agreement, CalSTRS has been and continues to be permitted, on its own behalf, to solicit and accept an offer for the purchase of City National Plaza from a Third Party Purchaser, to enter into or, following the distribution of the City National Plaza Equity Interests to CalSTRS, cause City National Plaza Owner to enter into a CNP Third Party PSA, and to close the sale of City National Plaza to the Third Party Purchaser from and after the Liquidation Closing.  CalSTRS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the conditions to the Liquidation Closing set forth in Section 7.3 to be satisfied on or before August 31, 2013.  Upon the Liquidation Closing, the 

	
			
	 
	33

	 

	 

Property Management Agreement (as defined in the Company Operating Agreement) regarding City National Plaza shall terminate and final payment shall be made thereunder.
10.2    Termination Upon Redemption.   The CNP Third Party PSA entered into during the Redemption Option Term shall give CalSTRS the right to terminate, and CalSTRS shall terminate, such CNP Third Party PSA promptly after the exercise of the Redemption Option by TPG in accordance herewith.  Upon such termination, TPG shall promptly reimburse CalSTRS (or the Third Party Purchaser on behalf of CalSTRS), the reasonable due diligence costs (including legal fees) incurred by the Third Party Purchaser not to exceed a total amount of  One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
10.3    TPG Cooperation.  TPG shall fully cooperate and exercise Due Care (as defined in the Operating Agreement), and shall cause the Company to fully cooperate, in good faith with and on behalf of CalSTRS in connection with the CNP Third Party PSA, including without limitation (i) coordinating with the Third Party Purchaser regarding its due diligence for City National Plaza, and complying with any access agreements entered into by the Third Party Purchaser (provided such diligence process shall be subject to customary confidentiality agreements so that any information provided during such diligence process, as well as the existence of such diligence process and the related discussions regarding the CNP Third Party PSA, will be strictly confidential and any consultants employed by the Third Party Purchaser will be instructed to honor such confidentiality obligations), (ii) seeking and coordinating tenant estoppel certificates from tenants under Leases at City National Plaza (which estoppel certificates will be addressed to Company, TPG, CalSTRS and City National Plaza Owner and any successor in interest that acquires City National Plaza), (iii) executing customary tenant estoppel certificates in connection with TPG’s leased premises in City National Plaza (provided such estoppel certificates shall be permitted to note that the TPG Lease is subject to early termination by TPG, at its sole election, at any time from and after the termination of TPG as the property manager for City National Plaza following the acquisition of City National Plaza by the Third Party Purchaser), and (iv) coordinating the consummation of the purchase and sale through the closing under the CNP Third Party PSA, all as reasonably requested by CalSTRS in order to accomplish the orderly sale of City National Plaza upon the terms contained in the CNP Third Party PSA.  Without limiting the Redemption Option, prior to the termination of this Agreement, TPG and its affiliates shall have no rights to purchase City National Plaza under the Company Operating Agreement or otherwise.  If CalSTRS believes that TPG has failed to perform any of its obligations under this Article 10, it shall notify TPG of such alleged default and TPG will have three (3) Business Days after such notice in which to remedy such default; if any such failure of TPG to perform its obligations under this Article 10 continues for more than three (3) Business Days after such notice of default, such failure shall constitute a material default by TPG under this Agreement, entitling CalSTRS to immediately exercise its remedies set forth in Section 11.1.

10.4    Closing Costs; Post-Closing Liabilities.  Upon the closing under a CNP Third Party PSA, the costs of the seller thereunder shall be allocated in accordance with Section 9.4.9.  The parties shall cooperate with respect to any Transfer Taxes and Costs and other closing costs so that they are minimized to the greatest extent possible in light of the timing of the Liquidation Transactions followed by the sale of City National Plaza.  In addition, upon the Liquidation Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver to CalSTRS such certificates or indemnities that are reasonably requested by CalSTRS that can be assigned to the Third Party Purchaser to directly undertake any post-closing liabilities of CalSTRS as seller regarding City National Plaza.  TPG and CalSTRS will jointly approve such certificates and indemnities in advance of the execution of the Third Party PSA, and TPG shall not unreasonably withhold its approval thereof.  If there is a breach of such certificate by the Company, the Company will reimburse CalSTRS for any liability it incurs to the Third Party Purchaser as a result of such breach (with TPG and CalSTRS each bearing their pro rata share of such liability).  In addition to the reserve set forth in Section 9.4.13, the Company will reserve the maximum amount of such liabilities out of Project Available Cash allocated to City National Plaza and retain such amount as a liquidation reserve to cover such liability for the duration of the survival period of such liabilities.  CalSTRS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such post-closing liabilities and, subject thereto, to sell City National Plaza on an “as is” basis.
                                                                   ARTICLE 11     
REMEDIES
11.1    Remedies for Default by TPG or Company.  IN THE EVENT TPG HAS EXERCISED THE REDEMPTION OPTION OR THE LIQUIDATION OPTION, AND THE REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS OR THE LIQUIDATION TRANSACTIONS, AS APPLICABLE, ARE NOT CONSUMMATED ON OR BEFORE THE REDEMPTION CLOSING DATE OR THE LIQUIDATION CLOSING DATE, AS APPLICABLE, FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE OF THE CONDITIONS TO SUCH CLOSING SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGE TO CALSTRS.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IF TPG OR THE COMPANY FAILS TO COMPLETE THE REDEMPTION TRANSACTIONS AS HEREIN PROVIDED (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE CONDITIONS TO SUCH CLOSING SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1), THE AMOUNT OF THE TOTAL DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF CALSTRS’ DAMAGES AND THAT CALSTRS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SAID SUM AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IF TPG OR THE COMPANY FAILS TO COMPLETE THE LIQUIDATION TRANSACTIONS AS HEREIN PROVIDED (OTHER THAN AS A RESULT OF THE 

	
			
	 
	35

	 

	 

FAILURE OF THE CONDITIONS TO SUCH CLOSING SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1), THE AMOUNT OF THE LIQUIDATION DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF CALSTRS’ DAMAGES AND THAT CALSTRS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SAID SUM AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  IN EITHER SUCH EVENT, THE ESCROW HOLDER SHALL, UPON WRITTEN DEMAND BY CALSTRS WITHOUT JOINDER OF TPG, IMMEDIATELY DELIVER THE TOTAL DEPOSIT OR THE LIQUIDATION DEPOSIT, AS APPLICABLE, TO CALSTRS IN CASH OR OTHER IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS.  THE FOREGOING DOES NOT LIMIT TPG’S OR THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY INDEMNITY OR OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH BY ITS TERMS SURVIVES A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IS TO BE PERFORMED AFTER CLOSING.  TO SIGNIFY THEIR AWARENESS AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 11.1, THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE SEPARATELY INITIALED THIS PARAGRAPH.  
TPG INITIALS:_/s/ TPG___    COMPANY INTIALS:_/s/ TPG_____
CALSTRS INITIALS:_/s/ MC______
11.2    Remedies for Default by CalSTRS.  In the event TPG has validly exercised the Redemption Option or the Liquidation Option, and the Redemption Transactions or the Liquidation Transactions, as applicable, are not consummated because of default under or breach of this Agreement on the part of CalSTRS, TPG shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedies, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Total Deposit or the Liquidation Deposit, as applicable, or (b) to enforce specific performance of this Agreement (and to recover any attorneys' fees incurred by TPG in connection with enforcing this Agreement).  TPG expressly waives its rights to seek any damages (including without limitation, compensatory, punitive, consequential or special damages) in the event of CalSTRS’ default hereunder.  TPG shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Total Deposit or the Liquidation Deposit, as applicable, if TPG fails to file suit for specific performance against CalSTRS in a court of competent jurisdiction on or before sixty (60) days following the date upon which Closing was scheduled to have occurred as provided herein.
                                                                   ARTICLE 12     
BROKERS
12.1    Broker.  Upon the Redemption Closing, or alternatively upon the closing under a CNP Third Party PSA, the Company shall pay (and TPG and CalSTRS shall each bear their pro rata share of) a commission to Eastdil Secured (“Broker”) on account of City National Plaza (but no other Company Projects) in accordance with a separate agreement between the Company and 

	
			
	 
	36

	 

	 

Broker (provided that the agreement with the Broker shall provide for only one commission on City National Plaza).  Other than Broker, each party hereby represents and warrants to the other parties that such party has not contacted, negotiated with or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated herein.
12.2    Indemnity.  Each party shall indemnify and hold the other parties harmless from any claim, demand, cause of action, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other parties by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under this Article 12.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.
                                                                   ARTICLE 13

e.    Exculpation.  The direct and indirect officers, directors, partners, agents, employees, members and shareholders of CalSTRS and the Company shall not be personally liable for any debts or other obligations of CalSTRS or the Company or in respect of any claims against CalSTRS or the Company arising under this Redemption, and such debts, obligations and claims shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of CalSTRS or the Company, as applicable.  Neither the Company nor CalSTRS shall seek or obtain any personal judgment against any direct or indirect officer, director, partner, agent, employee, member or shareholder of CalSTRS or the Company, as applicable, with respect to any matter arising under this Agreement.
f.    Counterparts.  Any number of counterparts of this Redemption may be executed.  Each counterpart will be deemed to be an original instrument and all counterparts taken together will constitute one agreement.

Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.  For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity.  To inform ______________________, a ___________________ (the “Transferee”), that the withholding of such tax is not required upon the transfer of that certain real property located in ____________, _______________ by ______________________, a ___________________ (the “Transferor”), pursuant to the terms of that certain Agreement for Redemption of Membership Interest dated as of ______________, 2013, by and among certain parties named therein and Transferee (the “Agreement”), the undersigned hereby certifies pursuant to Section _______ of the Agreement, on the Transferor’s behalf, and not individually, as follows:
1.    Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder);
2.    Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
3.    Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is ___________; and
4.    Transferor’s office address is: ___________________________________.
Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.
Transferor understands that Transferee is relying on this certification in determining whether withholding is required upon said transfer.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct, and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this certification on behalf of the Transferor as of this ____ day of __________, 2013.

ARTICLE 1
DISTRIBUTION OPTION
1.1    Grant of Distribution Option.  TPG and the Company hereby grant to CalSTRS a one-time option (the “Distribution Option”), exercisable only during the Distribution Option Term described in Section 1.2 hereof, and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, to redeem a portion of CalSTRS’ membership interest in the Company by causing the Company to distribute in kind to CalSTRS the CNP Equity Interests.
1.2    Distribution Option Term.  The term of the Distribution Option (the “Distribution Option Term”) shall commence on August 1, 2013 and expire at 5:00 pm Pacific Time on December 1, 2013.
1.3    Exercise of Distribution Option.  Provided that TPG has not exercised the “Redemption Option” or the “Liquidation Option” (as such terms are defined in, and in accordance with, the RL Option Agreement), or if the RL Option Agreement has otherwise terminated (other than as a result of a default by CalSTRS), the Distribution Option may be exercised by CalSTRS giving written notice to TPG of its intent to exercise the Distribution Option in compliance with the requirements of this Section 1.3 (the “Distribution Exercise Notice”).  The Distribution Exercise Notice must be given prior to the expiration of the Distribution Option Term and shall be signed by CalSTRS or its counsel.  If CalSTRS does not give the Distribution Exercise Notice in accordance with this Section 1.3 within the Distribution Option Term, the Distribution Option shall expire and this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force or effect.
1.4    Distribution Transactions.  Upon the exercise of the Distribution Option in accordance with Section 1.3, this Agreement shall constitute a binding agreement between CalSTRS and TPG to redeem a portion of its membership interest in the Company by causing the Company to distribute in kind to CalSTRS the CNP Equity Interests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.  Effective upon the Closing, (a) TPG shall cause the Company to distribute in kind to CalSTRS the CNP Equity Interests, and (b) the Percentage Interests of TPG and CalSTRS in the Company shall be adjusted in accordance with Section 3.2.

	3

	 

	 

2.1    Subject to Existing Loans.  The Distribution Transactions are intended to be completed without any change in the existing loans owing by the CNP Owner and its direct and indirect subsidiaries (collectively, the “Existing Loans”) and the deeds of trust, security agreements, pledges and other documents and instruments evidencing or securing the Existing Loans (collectively, the “Existing Loan Documents”).  The Existing Loans include that certain unsecured loan made by Kings Capital Portfolio No. 9 LLC and Kenneth A. Picerne as Trustee of The Kenneth A. Picerne Trust Dated June 4, 1999, to a subsidiary of TPGA, which has an outstanding balance of $500,000.  After the Closing, the CNP Owner and such subsidiaries bound by the Existing Loan Documents shall remain liable to the lenders under the Existing Loan Documents (the “Existing Lenders”) in accordance with their respective terms, and City National Plaza shall remain subject to the liens securing the Existing Loans to the extent set forth therein.
2.2    Release of Company.  Notwithstanding Section 2.1, CalSTRS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (and TPG shall cooperate with such efforts without cost or expense or creating any additional liability or obligations), including by providing a replacement guarantor, to cause the Company to be released from all guaranties, indemnities and personal liabilities in connection with the Existing Loans.
2.3    Lender Consents to Transactions.  The parties acknowledge that the Distribution Transactions, including without limitation, the withdrawal of CalSTRS as an investor in or member of, directly or indirectly, the CNP Owner, may require the consent or approval of lenders or loan servicers in order to avoid a breach or default under the Existing Loan Documents (collectively, the “Lender Consents”).  TPG and the Company shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Lender Consents prior to the Closing Date, and CalSTRS shall cooperate with TPG and the Company, without cost or expense or creating any additional liability or obligations, in obtaining such Lender Consents.
ARTICLE 3     
DEPOSIT; ADJUSTMENT OF INTERESTS
3.1    Deposit.  Pursuant to the RL Option Agreement, TPG has deposited in the “Escrow Account” established by “Escrow Holder” (as such terms are defined in the RL Option Agreement), in cash or other immediately available funds, the sum of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), which funds shall constitute a deposit by TPG under this Agreement (the “Deposit”).  The Escrow Holder shall hold the Deposit or any portion thereof in the Escrow Account, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a customary separate escrow agreement to be entered into among Escrow Holder, TPG, CalSTRS and the Company, provided that such separate agreement shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement.  All interest on such sum shall be deemed income of 

	
			
	

	4

	 

	 

TPG, and TPG shall be responsible for the payment of all costs and fees imposed on the Escrow Account.  Nevertheless, all interest accrued on such sum shall be held and disbursed with, and deemed to be a part of, the “Deposit” for all purposes of this Agreement.  At the Closing, the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon shall be refunded to TPG.  The Deposit is nonrefundable to TPG in the event the Closing does not occur for any reason except as expressly provided in Section 6.1 or Section 9.2.
3.2    Adjustment of Interests.  The parties acknowledge and agree that the fair market value of TPG's interest in the Company with respect to the CNP Equity Interests is equal to Forty Million Eight Hundred Thirty Eight Thousand Four Hundred Thirty Eight Dollars ($40,838,438), subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 7.4 (as so adjusted, the “TPG CNP Value”).  Accordingly, at the Closing the Percentage Interests of TPG and CalSTRS in the Company shall be adjusted as set forth in the Operating Agreement Amendment (as defined herein).

The rents and other income collected from tenants under the Leases in effect on the Apportionment Date or otherwise (including without limitation parking revenues) shall be prorated and adjusted as follows (all references to “Leases” in this Section 7.4.3 shall be deemed to refer to the Leases of space in City National Plaza in effect on the Apportionment Date):
7.4.3.1    All collected rent, and other collected income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent), which are collected on or prior to the Closing Date in respect of the month of Closing under leases in effect on the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date, with the Company to be credited with its pro rata share of all rent and other income applicable to the period of time on or prior to the Closing Date, and CalSTRS to be credited with any rent and other income collected before the Closing Date but applicable to any period of time from and after the Closing Date.  Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated on the Closing Date.  Any rent received after the Closing but attributable to the month in which the Closing Date occurs shall be prorated in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 7.4.3.1, with the Company receiving a credit for its pro rata share of the rent and income for the period up to the Closing Date.

All rebates or reductions in Property Taxes received subsequent to Closing relating to periods prior to Closing, net of costs of obtaining the same, shall be prorated as of the Apportionment Date, when received.  If, as of the Apportionment Date, City National Plaza or any portion thereof shall be affected by any special or general assessments which are or may become payable in installments of which any installment is then a lien and has become due and payable, such currently due and payable installment(s) shall be allocated

Charges for all electricity, steam, gas and other utility services shall be apportioned on the basis of actual current readings or, if such readings have not been made, on the basis of the most recent bills that are available.

The CNP Owner will remain liable for the obligations related to tenant security deposits under the Leases, and CalSTRS will indemnify, defend and hold TPG  and the Company harmless from and against all demands and claims made by tenants with respect to any security deposits and will reimburse TPG and the Company for all attorneys’ fees incurred or that may be incurred as a result of any such claims or demands as well as for all loss, expenses, verdicts, judgments, settlements, interest, costs and other expenses incurred or that may be incurred by TPG or by Company as a result of any such claims or demands by tenants.

7.4.14    Closing Statement.  TPG, on behalf of the Company, and CalSTRS shall jointly prepare and approve a preliminary closing statement (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) showing the  adjustments and prorations provided for herein, and  any  amount  to be added to or subtracted from the TPG CNP Value.  If the parties fail to fully agree on the Preliminary Closing Statement, the Closing shall proceed on the basis of the line items in such statement that are agreed upon by the parties, with any open items (to the extent of any dispute) on such statement to be resolved as part of the resolution of the Final Closing Statement.  On or before the date which is ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, TPG, on behalf of the Company, will prepare a final closing statement reasonably satisfactory to CalSTRS in form and substance (collectively, the “Final Closing Statement”) setting forth the final determination of the adjustments and prorations provided for herein and setting forth any items which are not capable of being determined at such time (and the manner in which such items shall be determined and paid).  The net amount of any adjustment to the TPG CNP Value  by reason of adjustments to the Preliminary Closing Statement as shown in the Final Closing Statement, shall be added to or subtracted from the  TPG CNP Value used in the adjustment of the Percentage Interests of the members in the Company following the Closing.  The adjustments, prorations and determinations agreed to by TPG or CalSTRS in the Final Closing Statement shall be conclusive and binding on the parties hereto except for any items which are not 

	
			
	

	18

	 

	 

capable of being determined at the time the Final Closing Statement is agreed to by TPG and CalSTRS, which items shall be determined in the manner set forth in the Final Closing Statement and except for other amounts payable hereunder pursuant to provisions which survive the Closing.  Prior to and following the Closing Date, each party shall provide the other with such information as the other shall reasonably request subject to any applicable confidentiality restrictions in order to make the preliminary and final adjustments and prorations provided for herein.  If TPG and CalSTRS fail to agree upon a Final Closing Statement, the disputed items shall be resolved by a mutually acceptable nationally recognized independent accounting firm (the “Accounting Firm”), whose determination shall be final and binding upon the parties.  The Accounting Firm shall resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days after the disputed items have been submitted to it.  The costs, fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne equally by TPG and CalSTRS.
7.4.15    Survival.  The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall survive Closing.
ARTICLE 8     
CITY NATIONAL PLAZA
8.1    CNP Third Party PSA.  Prior to the Effective Date, and continuing after the Effective Date so long as TPG has not exercised the Redemption Option in accordance with the RL Option Agreement, in addition to, and without limitation of, its other rights under this Agreement or the Company Operating Agreement, CalSTRS has been and continues to be permitted, on its own behalf, to solicit and accept an offer for the purchase of City National Plaza from a Third Party Purchaser, to enter into or, following the distribution of the CNP Equity Interests to CalSTRS, cause City National Plaza Owner to enter into a CNP Third Party PSA, and to close the sale of City National Plaza to the Third Party Purchaser from and after the Closing.  CalSTRS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the conditions to the Closing set forth in Sections 6.2.4, 6.2.5 and 6.2.6 to be satisfied on or before the Closing Date.  Upon the Closing, the Property Management Agreement (as defined in the Company Operating Agreement) regarding City National Plaza shall terminate and final payment shall be made thereunder.
8.2    TPG Cooperation.  TPG shall fully cooperate and exercise Due Care (as defined in the Operating Agreement), and shall cause the Company to fully cooperate, in good faith with CalSTRS in connection with the CNP Third Party PSA, including without limitation (i) coordinating with the Third Party Purchaser regarding its due diligence for City National Plaza, and complying with any access agreements entered into by the Third Party Purchaser (provided such diligence process shall be subject to customary confidentiality agreements so that any information provided during such diligence process, as well as the existence of such diligence process and the related discussions regarding the CNP Third Party PSA, will be strictly confidential and any consultants employed by the Third Party Purchaser will be instructed to honor such confidentiality obligations), 

	
			
	

	19

	 

	 

(ii) seeking and coordinating tenant estoppel certificates from tenants under Leases at City National Plaza (which estoppel certificates will be addressed to Company, TPG, CalSTRS and City National Plaza Owner and any successor in interest that acquires City National Plaza), (iii) executing customary tenant estoppel certificates in connection with TPG’s leased premises in City National Plaza (provided such estoppel certificates shall be permitted to note that the TPG Lease is subject to early termination by TPG, at its sole election, at any time from and after the termination of TPG as the property manager for City National Plaza following the acquisition of City National Plaza by the Third Party Purchaser), and (iv) coordinating the consummation of the purchase and sale through the closing under the CNP Third Party PSA following the Closing, all as reasonably requested by CalSTRS in order to accomplish the orderly sale of City National Plaza upon the terms contained in the CNP Third Party PSA.  So long as this Agreement is in effect, TPG and its affiliates shall have no rights to purchase City National Plaza under the Company Operating Agreement or otherwise.  If CalSTRS believes that TPG has failed to perform any of its obligations under this Article 8, it shall notify TPG of such alleged default and TPG will have three (3) Business Days after such notice in which to remedy such default; if any such failure of TPG to perform its obligations under this Article 8 continues for more than three (3) Business Days after such notice of default, such failure shall constitute a material default by TPG under this Agreement, entitling CalSTRS to immediately exercise its remedies set forth in Section 9.1.
8.3    Closing Costs; Post-Closing Liabilities.  Upon the closing under a CNP Third Party PSA, the costs of the seller thereunder  shall be allocated in accordance with Section 7.4.9.  The parties shall cooperate with respect to any Transfer Taxes and Costs and other closing costs on the Distribution Transactions and the closing of the CNP Third Party PSA, so that they are minimized to the greatest extent possible in light of the timing of the Distribution Transactions followed by the sale of City National Plaza.  In addition, upon the Closing, the Company shall execute and deliver to CalSTRS such certificates or indemnities that are reasonably requested by CalSTRS that can be assigned to the Third Party Purchaser to directly undertake any post-closing liabilities of CalSTRS as seller regarding City National Plaza.  TPG and CalSTRS will jointly approve such certificates and indemnities in advance of the execution of the Third Party PSA, and TPG shall not unreasonably withhold its approval thereof.  If there is a breach of such certificate by the Company, the Company will reimburse CalSTRS for any liability it incurs to the Third Party Purchaser as a result of such breach (with TPG and CalSTRS each bearing their pro rata share of such liability).  The Company will reserve the maximum amount of such liabilities out of Project Available Cash allocated to City National Plaza and retain such amount as a reserve to cover such liability for the duration of the survival period of such liabilities.  CalSTRS shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to minimize such post-closing liabilities and, subject thereto, to sell City National Plaza on an “as is” basis.

ARTICLE 9     
REMEDIES
9.1    Remedies for Default by TPG or Company.  IN THE EVENT CALSTRS HAS EXERCISED THE DISTRIBUTION OPTION, AND THE DISTRIBUTION TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT CONSUMMATED ON OR BEFORE THE CLOSING DATE, AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF TPG TO SATISFY ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7.3 AFTER THE SATISFACTION OF THE CONDITIONS TO SUCH CLOSING SET FORTH IN SECTION 6.1, AND IF SUCH FAILURE TO PERFORM CONTINUES FOR A PERIOD OF THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER NOTICE THEREOF FROM CALSTRS, THEN TPG SHALL BE IN BREACH HEREOF AND THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGE TO CALSTRS CAUSED BY SUCH BREACH.  THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE THAT IF TPG OR THE COMPANY FAILS TO COMPLETE THE DISTRIBUTION TRANSACTIONS AS HEREIN PROVIDED (AS A RESULT OF A BREACH BY TPG OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER), THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF CALSTRS’ DAMAGES AND THAT CALSTRS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO SAID SUM AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  IN SUCH EVENT, THE ESCROW HOLDER SHALL, UPON WRITTEN DEMAND BY CALSTRS WITHOUT JOINDER OF TPG, IMMEDIATELY DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO CALSTRS IN CASH OR OTHER IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS.  THE FOREGOING DOES NOT LIMIT TPG’S OR THE COMPANY’S LIABILITY UNDER ANY INDEMNITY OR OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT WHICH BY ITS TERMS SURVIVES A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT OR IS TO BE PERFORMED AFTER CLOSING.  TO SIGNIFY THEIR AWARENESS AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 9.1, THE PARTIES HERETO HAVE SEPARATELY INITIALED THIS PARAGRAPH.
TPG INITIALS:_/s/ JAT______    COMPANY INTIALS:_/s/ JAT______
CALSTRS INITIALS:_/s/ MC______
9.2    Remedies for Default by CalSTRS.  In the event CalSTRS has validly exercised the Distribution Option, and the Distribution Transactions are not consummated because of default under or breach of this Agreement on the part of CalSTRS, TPG shall be entitled, as its sole and exclusive remedies, either (a) to terminate this Agreement and receive the return of the Deposit, or (b) to enforce specific performance of this Agreement (and to recover any attorneys' fees incurred by TPG in connection with enforcing this Agreement).  TPG expressly waives its rights to seek any damages (including without limitation, compensatory, punitive, consequential or special damages) 

	
			
	

	21

	 

	 

in the event of CalSTRS’ default hereunder.  TPG shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit if TPG fails to file suit for specific performance against CalSTRS in a court of competent jurisdiction on or before thirty (30) days following the date upon which Closing was scheduled to have occurred as provided herein.
ARTICLE 10     
BROKERS
10.1    Broker.  Upon the Closing, or alternatively upon the closing under a CNP Third Party PSA, the Company shall pay (and TPG and CalSTRS shall each bear their pro rata share of) a commission to Eastdil Secured (“Broker”) on account of City National Plaza in accordance with a separate agreement between the Company and Broker (provided that the agreement with the Broker shall provide for only one commission on City National Plaza).  Other than Broker, each party hereby represents and warrants to the other parties that such party has not contacted, negotiated with or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent, finder, or any party in connection with this Agreement and the transaction contemplated herein.
10.2    Indemnity.  Each party shall indemnify and hold the other parties harmless from any claim, demand, cause of action, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by the other parties by reason of a breach of the representation and warranty made by such party under this Article 10.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the indemnities set forth in this Section shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement.

2.    Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in § 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii);
3.    Transferor’s U.S.  employer identification number is ___________; and
4.    Transferor’s office address is: ___________________________________.
Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment or both.
