any other person or entity even though such person or entity may engage in business activities
similar to those of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee.

          The Administrator and its affiliates may generally engage in any kind of business with any
person party to a Related Agreement, any of its affiliates and any person who may do business with

or to such other address as any party shall have provided to the other parties in writing. Any
notice required to be in writing hereunder shall be deemed given if such notice is mailed by
certified mail, postage prepaid, or hand-delivered to the address of such party as provided above.

Section 11. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by a written
amendment duly executed and delivered by the Issuer, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee,
with prior written notice to each Rating Agency, without the consent of the Owner Trustee, the
Noteholders and the Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement to cure any ambiguity, to correct
or supplement any provisions in this agreement; provided that (i) such amendment will not
materially and adversely affect the interest of any Noteholder or Certificateholder as confirmed by
an opinion of counsel provided to the Indenture Trustee and (ii) the Administrator shall have
delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in
the opinion of such counsel, either (A) all financing statements and continuation statements have
been filed that are necessary to fully preserve and protect the interest of the Owner Trustee and
the Indenture Trustee in the Receivables, and reciting the details of such filings or referring to
prior Opinions of Counsel in which such details are given, or (B) no such action shall be necessary
to preserve and protect such interest. This Agreement may also be amended by the Issuer, the
Administrator and the Indenture Trustee with the written consent of the Owner Trustee and the
holders of Notes evidencing at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Controlling Class
and the holders of Trust Certificates evidencing at least a majority of the Certificate Percentage
Interests for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of Noteholders or the
Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment may (i) reduce the interest rate or
principal amount of any Note or Certificate or delay the Stated Maturity Date of any Note without
the consent of any Holder of such Note or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of the holders of
Notes and Trust Certificates which are required to consent to any such amendment, without the
consent of the holders of all the outstanding Notes and Trust Certificates. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Administrator may not amend this Agreement without the permission of the Seller,
which permission shall not be unreasonably withheld. Prior to consenting to any such amendment the
Indenture Trustee shall have the right to receive (at other than its own expense) an Opinion of
Counsel that such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.

Section 12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by the
Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in writing by the Issuer and the
Owner Trustee and subject to the satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof.
An assignment with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the
assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the Administrator without the consent of the Issuer or
the Owner Trustee to a corporation or other organization that is a

					
	 
	 	10
	 	(2005-A Owner Trust Administration Agreement)

 

 

successor (by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator; provided that such
successor organization executes and delivers to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other organization agrees to be bound hereunder
by the terms of said assignment in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder and
represents that it has the financial ability to satisfy its indemnification obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator can transfer its obligations to any affiliate that
succeeds to substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Administrator and who has
represented and warranted that it is not less creditworthy than the Administrator. Subject to the
foregoing, this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

Section 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section 14. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted for convenience of
reference only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning, construction or effect of this
Agreement.

Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
when so executed shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one and the
same agreement.

Section 16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or
unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or
unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in
any other jurisdiction.

Section 17. Not Applicable to Citibank, N.A. in Other Capacities. Nothing in this
Agreement shall affect any obligation Citibank, N.A. may have in any other capacity.

Section 18. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been
executed by the Owner Trustee solely in its capacity as Owner Trustee and in no event shall the
Owner Trustee in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Issuer have any liability
for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had solely to the assets of the Issuer. For all
purposes of this Agreement, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Agreement has been
countersigned by the Indenture Trustee solely as Indenture Trustee and in no event shall the
Indenture Trustee have any liability for the representations, warranties,

					
	 
	 	11
	 	(2005-A Owner Trust Administration Agreement)

 

 

covenants, agreements or other obligations of the Issuer hereunder or in any of the
certificates, notices or agreements delivered pursuant hereto, as to all of which recourse shall be
had solely to the assets of the Issuer.

          (c) No recourse under any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Issuer contained in this
Agreement shall be had against any agent of the Issuer (including the Administrator and the Owner
Trustee) as such by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding, by
virtue of any statute or otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Agreement is
solely an obligation of the Issuer as a Delaware statutory trust, and that no personal liability
whatever shall attach to or be incurred by any agent of the Issuer (including the Administrator and
the Owner Trustee), as such, under or by reason of any of the obligations, covenants or agreements
of the Issuer contained in this Agreement, or implied therefrom, and that any and all personal
liability for breaches by the Issuer of any such obligations, covenants or agreements, either at
common law or at equity, or by statute or constitution, of every such agent is hereby expressly
waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement.

Section 19. Third-Party Beneficiary. The Seller, the Depositor and the Owner Trustee are
third-party beneficiaries to this Agreement and are entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder
and may enforce the provisions hereof as if each were a party hereto.

Section 20. Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior termination of this
Agreement, the Administrator and the Indenture Trustee shall not, prior to the date which is one
year and one day after the termination of this Agreement with respect to the Issuer, acquiesce,
petition or otherwise invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court of government
authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer under any Federal
or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of
its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer.

Section 21. Liability of Administrator. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement,
the Administrator shall not have any obligations under this Agreement other than those specifically
set forth herein, and no implied obligations of the Administrator shall be read into this
Agreement. Neither the Administrator nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall
be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement, except for its or their own negligence or willful misconduct and in
no event shall the Administrator be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for indirect,
special or consequential losses or damages of any kind, including lost profits, even if advised of
the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action by which such losses or damages may be
claimed. Without limiting the foregoing, the Administrator may (a) consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Issuer), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it
and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in
accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts and (b) shall incur no liability
under or in respect of this Agreement by acting upon any notice (including notice by telephone),
consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile) believed by it to
be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

Properties, the Capitalization Rate, and (B) with respect to Non-Office Properties, the
Capitalization Rate or such other capitalization rate to be mutually agreed upon by Borrower and
Administrative Agent; and

          (ii) the aggregate book value plus depreciation of the following Unencumbered Assets up to a
maximum of thirty-five percent (35%) of Unencumbered Asset Value:

          (A) Properties Under Renovation up to a maximum of the lesser of (A) fifteen percent
(15%) of Unencumbered Asset Value, or (B) fifteen percent (15%) of the total square footage
of the Unencumbered Pool;

Page 29

 

          (B) Acquired Assets up to a maximum twenty percent (20%) of Unencumbered Asset Value;
and

          (C) Completed Construction Assets up to a maximum twelve and one-half percent (12.5%)
of Unencumbered Asset Value.

          The amounts determined pursuant to the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) shall exclude:

          (a) with respect to all Unencumbered Assets that are, on an individual basis, less than
seventy percent (70%) leased, any amount in excess of the lesser of (1) twenty percent (20%) of
Unencumbered Asset Value or (2) the aggregate amount determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii)
attributable to square footage of such less than seventy percent (70%) leased assets that exceeds
twenty percent (20%) of the total square footage of all assets comprising the Unencumbered Pool;

          (b) with respect to all Unencumbered Assets not located in one of Borrower’s Existing Markets,
any amount in excess of the lesser of (1) twenty percent (20%) of the Unencumbered Asset Value, or
(2) the aggregate amount determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) attributable to square footage
not located in one of Borrower’s Existing Markets that exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the total
square footage of all assets comprising the Unencumbered Pool;

          (c) with respect to all Unencumbered Assets which are Non-Office Properties, any amount in
excess of the lesser of (1) five percent (5%) of Unencumbered Asset Value or (2) the aggregate
amount determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) attributable to square footage that exceeds five
percent (5%) of the total square footage of all assets comprising the Unencumbered Pool; and

          (d) with respect to all Unencumbered Assets subject to a ground lease, any amount in excess of
the lesser of (1) twenty-five percent (25%) of Unencumbered Asset Value or (2) the aggregate amount
determined pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) attributable to square footage that exceeds twenty-five
percent (25%) of the total square footage of all assets comprising the Unencumbered Pool;
provided, however, the limitation set in this subparagraph (d) shall not apply to
(or include) a ground lease which covers only an ancillary parcel (e.g., parking or common area),
and not land under or any building improvements, with respect to the subject Property.

          In the event that either (1) a percentage limitation set forth in any of the sub-clauses (A)
through (C) of clause (ii) above, or (2) the aggregate 35% limitation referred to in clause (ii)
above shall constitute a limiting factor on the valuation of any such Property, then the following
rule shall apply “at the margin” (i.e., with respect to that particular Property which would cause
any such maximum percentage limitation to be exceeded): (A) the book value plus depreciation of
such Property shall be included in determining Unencumbered Asset Value in accordance with
sub-clauses (A) through (C) of clause (ii) above to the extent (herein referred to as the
“Unencumbered Asset Value Included Percentage”) permissible up to the limiting percentage
as applicable; and (B) the balance of the value of such Property shall be determined

Page 30

 

in accordance with clause (i) above by including therein an amount equal to the product of the
Property NOI of such Property times the reciprocal of the Unencumbered Asset Value Included
Percentage (i.e., 100% minus the Unencumbered Asset Value Included Percentage). By way of
example, if the book value plus depreciation of a Property were included up to an amount equal to
35% thereof, then 65% of the Property NOI of such Property would be included in the aggregate
Property NOI of all Unencumbered Assets pursuant to clause (i) above.

          “Unencumbered Pool” means the pool of Unencumbered Assets.

          “Unencumbered Pool Statements” has the meaning given to such term in Section
5.1(f).

          “Unmatured Event Of Default” means an event which, with the giving of notice or the
lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

          “Unsecured Funded Indebtedness” means Debt that is not secured by any Lien and
includes, without limitation, outstanding Advances, together with all Letter of Credit Liabilities.

          “Unsecured Interest Expense Coverage Ratio” means, at the time of determination, the
ratio of (i) Property NOI of all Unencumbered Assets for the Fiscal Quarter then most recently
ended (or, if shorter, for the period from the Closing Date to the end of such period), to (ii)
Interest Expense on all Unsecured Funded Indebtedness for such period.

          “Wells Fargo” means Wells Fargo Bank, National Association.

          “Wholly-Owned” means, with respect to any Real Property, that title to such Real
Property is held in fee directly by Borrower (or any entity in which Borrower owns, directly or
indirectly, 100% of the ownership interests) or that Borrower (or any entity in which Borrower
owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the ownership interests) is the lessee under a ground lease.

     1.2. Computation of Time Periods. In this Agreement, in the computation of periods of
time from a specified date to a later specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”
and the words “to” and “until” each mean “to and including”. Periods of days referred to in this
Agreement shall be counted in calendar days unless Business Days are expressly prescribed.

     1.3. Terms.

          (a) Any accounting terms used in this Agreement which are not specifically defined shall be
construed in conformity with, and all financial data required to be submitted by this Agreement
shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP, except as otherwise specifically prescribed in
this Agreement.

          (b) In each case where the consent or approval of Administrative Agent, all the Lenders and/or
the Requisite Lenders is required, or their non-obligatory action is requested by
Borrower, such consent, approval or action shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of
Administrative Agent and, as applicable, each Lender, unless otherwise specifically indicated.

     2.1. Loan Advances and Repayment.

          (a) Loan Availability; Credit Facilities.

               (i) Loan Availability.

          (A) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Lenders hereby agree
to make Advances to Borrower from time to time during the period from the Closing Date to the
Business Day next preceding the Maturity Date, subject to the following:

               (1) Subject to the terms of Section 2.7, Section 2.8 and Section
2.9, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances (including
outstanding Swing Line Advances) and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities shall not at any time exceed Three Hundred Ten Million Dollars ($310,000,000);

               (2) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Advances (including
outstanding Swing Line Advances) and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (a) the Commitment or (b) the amount
which, when combined with all components of the unsecured Total Liabilities of the REIT and
the Consolidated Entities (other than outstanding Advances and all Letter of Credit
Liabilities) as of the date of determination, is equal to 59.8802% of the Unencumbered Asset
Value of the Unencumbered Pool as of such date; and

               (3) if any Swing Line Advances are outstanding as of the date of any such Advance, (a)
such Advance shall be in an amount equal to at least the aggregate outstanding principal of
all outstanding Swing Line Advances, and (b) the proceeds thereof shall be applied first to
the payment of such outstanding Swing Line Advances.

     All Advances under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and
proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that neither
the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to
perform its obligation to make an Advance hereunder and that the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment
of any Lender shall not be increased or decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make an Advance. Advances may be voluntarily
prepaid pursuant to Section 2.6(a) and, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, any
amounts so prepaid may be reborrowed under this Section 2.1(a)(i). Interest shall accrue
and be payable

Page 32

 

on outstanding Advances as provided in Section 2.4. The principal balance
of the Advances shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date. The obligation of Borrower to repay
Advances will be evidenced by the Notes, and the obligation of Borrower to repay Swing Line
Advances shall be further evidenced by the Swing Line Notes and the obligation of Borrower to repay
Bid Advances shall be further evidenced by the Bid Advance Notes.

          (B) Notice of Borrowing.

               (1) Whenever Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.1, but in no event
more than five (5) times during any one (1) calendar month, Borrower shall give
Administrative Agent, at Wells Fargo Real Estate Group Disbursement Center, 2120 East Park
Place, Suite 100, El Segundo, California 90245, Attention: Ms. Eva Lopez (telephone: (310)
335-9471; telecopier: (310) 615-1014), with a copy to: Wells Fargo Bank, Real Estate Group,
11601 Wilshire Blvd., 17th Floor, Los Angeles, California 90025, Attention: Mr. Bryan W.
Stevens, or at such other addresses as Administrative Agent shall designate, an original or
facsimile Notice of Borrowing no later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time), not less than
three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date of each
LIBOR Advance, and not less than one (1) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the
proposed Funding Date of each Base Rate Advance. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify (a)
the Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day) of the proposed Advance, (b) the amount of
the proposed Advance, provided that the aggregate amount of such proposed Advance
shall, if such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, equal One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or
integral multiples of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof, and
provided further that the aggregate amount of such proposed Advance shall,
if such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, be equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($250,000), (c) whether the Advance to be made thereunder will be a Base
Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance and, if a LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period, and (d) the
proposed use of such Advance. Any Notice of Borrowing pursuant to this Section
2.1(a)(i)(B) shall be irrevocable.

               (2) Borrower may elect (a) to convert LIBOR Advances or any portion thereof into Base
Rate Advances, or (b) to convert Base Rate Advances or any portion thereof to LIBOR
Advances, or (c) to convert LIBOR Advances or any portion thereof into new LIBOR Advances,
provided, however that the aggregate amount of the Advances being converted
into or continued as LIBOR Advances shall, in the aggregate, equal One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) or an integral multiple of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) in excess thereof.
The conversion of a LIBOR Advance to a Base Rate Advance or to a new LIBOR Advance shall
only occur on the last Business Day of the Interest Period relating to such LIBOR Advance.
Each election under clause (b) above shall be made by Borrower giving Administrative Agent
an original or facsimile Notice of Borrowing no later than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time),
not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days prior to the date of proposed
conversion to a LIBOR Advance. Each election under clause (c) above shall be made by
Borrower giving Administrative Agent an original or facsimile Notice of Borrowing no later
than 9:00 A.M. (San Francisco time), not less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days
prior to the last day of the Interest Period for the LIBOR Advance in question. Each Notice
of Borrowing delivered pursuant to this Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(2) shall specify

Page 33

 

(x) the amount of the new LIBOR Advance or Base Rate Advance, as the case may be, (y) with
respect to a new LIBOR Advance, the Interest Period therefor, and (z) the date of the
effectiveness of the LIBOR Rate or Base Rate, as the case may be (which date shall be a
Business Day).

               (3) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing in proper form requesting LIBOR Advances
under subparagraph (1) or (2) above, Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy thereof (by
facsimile) to each Lender by noon (San Francisco time) on the same day of Administrative
Agent’s receipt thereof and shall determine the LIBOR Rate applicable to the Interest Period
for such LIBOR Advances, and shall, two (2) Business Days prior to the beginning of such
Interest Period, give (by facsimile) a Fixed Rate Notice in respect thereof to Borrower and
the Lenders; provided, however, that failure to give such notice to Borrower

shall not affect the validity of such rate. Each determination by Administrative Agent of
the LIBOR Rate shall be conclusive and binding upon the parties hereto in the absence of
manifest error.

               (4) If Borrower does not make a timely election to convert all or a portion of a LIBOR
Advance into a new LIBOR Advance in accordance with Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(2) such
LIBOR Advance shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance upon expiration of the
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance.

               (5) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision hereof to the contrary, in
addition to the number of Advances permissible monthly under the Commitment pursuant to
subsection (1) above, Borrower shall be permitted to borrow under the Swing Line multiple
times during any calendar month, provided that (A) the Notice of Borrowing with
respect to any Swing Line Advance shall be given by Borrower to Administrative Agent no
later than 11:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the proposed Funding Date of such Swing Line
Advance and shall designate such Advance as a Swing Line Advance; and (B) each requested
Advance under the Swing Line shall equal Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) or an
integral multiple of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in excess thereof. The obligation of
Administrative Agent (as the Swing Line Lender) to fund Swing Line Advances in accordance
with Section 2.1(a)(iii) below shall not be subject to Section 10.3(a) or
(b). The other Lenders have no obligation under Section 10.3(c) to fund their
Pro Rata Share of any Swing Line Advance (but do have an obligation to fund an Advance to
replace such Swing Line Advance in accordance with such Section 10.3(a)), and the
Administrative Agent alone (as the Swing Line Lender) shall fund all Swing Line Advances.
Except as provided in Section 2.1(a)(iii) below, in the preceding sentences of this
Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(5), in Section 2.6(a) or in Section 10.3, all
other provisions of this Agreement shall apply to any such Swing Line Advance.

Page 34

 

               (ii) Bid Facility.

          (A) Bid Advances. Each Lender severally agrees that,

               (1) subject to the conditions that at the time of Borrower’s submission of the relevant
Competitive Bid Request, (a) Borrower’s Long Term Unsecured Senior Debt Rating is equal to
or higher than BBB-/Baa3 and (b) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, Borrower may, in accordance with this Section 2.1(a)(ii)
and the other relevant provisions of the Loan Documents, from time to time request that the
Lenders, at any time before the 32nd day prior to the Maturity Date, submit Competitive Bids
to make Bid Advances to Borrower; provided, however, that (A) at no time
shall the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Bid Advances cause the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Advances (taking into account any repayments of Advances
with the proceeds thereof) to exceed the applicable dollar limitations of Sections
2.1(a)(i) above; (B) at no time shall the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all
Bid Advances (taking into account any repayments of Advances with the proceeds thereof)
exceed the Bid Advance Limit; (3) at no time may the number of Fixed Rate Periods of then
outstanding Fixed Rate Bid Advances and Absolute Rate Bid Advances exceed eight, in each
case giving effect to any Bid Advances then requested; and (C) Borrower shall not issue a
Competitive Bid Request for a Bid Advance having a term of other than 30, 60 or 90 days or a
maturity date subsequent to the Maturity Date.

               (2) The Lenders may, but shall not be obligated to, submit Competitive Bids in response
to any Competitive Bid Request, and Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, accept any
such offers. Subject to other provisions of this Section 2.1, the obligation of a
Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of Advances shall be unaffected by its making of any Bid
Advances, even if such Lender makes Bid Advances in an aggregate amount in excess of its Pro
Rata Share of the Commitment.

               (3) On the last day of each Fixed Rate Period applicable to any Bid Advances, Borrower
shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders making such
Bid Advances, the full amount of the principal of such Bid Advances. Borrower shall not
prepay all or any portion of the principal balance of any Bid Advance (i.e., make
any payment of principal on any Bid Advance prior to the end of the Fixed Rate Period
applicable to such Bid Advance) without the prior written consent of the Lender which made
such Bid Advance (which consent may be withheld in the sole and absolute discretion of such
Lender).

          (B) Type of Bid Advances. Bid Advances made under this Section 2.1(a)(ii) may
be Absolute Rate Bid Advances or Fixed Rate Bid Advances, subject, however, to Section
2.4(j).

          (C) Bid Advance Borrowings.

               (1) When Borrower desires to effect one or more borrowings consisting of one or more
Bid Advances, but not more often than once in any period of thirty (30) consecutive days,
Borrower shall notify Administrative Agent by telephone (followed

Page 35

 

promptly by a facsimile of the related Competitive Bid Request) no later than 8:00 A.M.
(California time), (x) in the case of a Fixed Rate Auction, five Business Days prior to the
proposed Funding Date of the requested borrowings, or (y) in the case of an Absolute Rate
Auction, two Business Days prior to the proposed Funding Date of the requested borrowing(s),
in each case, together with a fee payable to Administrative Agent as provided in a separate
agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower, specifying (together with the other
information required to be provided pursuant to the Competitive Bid Request):

               (a) the Funding Date of such borrowing(s), which shall be a Business Day;

               (b) the aggregate amount of such borrowing(s), which, subject to the following
proviso, shall be in a minimum amount (subject to the limitations set forth in other
provisions of the Loan Documents) of $15,000,000 and in integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, provided that the aggregate amount of all
Fixed Rate Bid Advances with the same Fixed Rate Period shall be in a minimum amount
of $15,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof;

               (c) whether the requested borrowing(s) is/are to be made as either (1) one or
more Fixed Rate Bid Advances or (2) one or more Absolute Rate Bid Advances; and

               (d) the duration of the requested Fixed Rate Period (subject to the limitation
that Borrower may request no more than three Fixed Rate Periods in any single
Competitive Bid Request).

Borrower’s right to request Competitive Bids for Bid Advances, and each Lender’s obligation to fund
any Bid Advance pursuant to any Competitive Bid accepted by Borrower, and all Bid Advances made
from time to time, shall be subject in all respects to the provisions of Section 2.4(j).

               (2) On the same day that it receives a Competitive Bid Request, Administrative Agent
shall send a copy thereof to each of the Lenders by facsimile, attaching thereto notice of
the date and time (as specified in Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) below) by which
responses must be received in order to be considered by Borrower. The Competitive Bid
Request shall not constitute an offer by Borrower, but merely an invitation to the Lenders
to submit Competitive Bids with respect to the requested borrowing(s).

               (3) (A) Each Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion, submit a Competitive Bid,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-3, containing an offer or
offers to make Bid Advances in response to any Competitive Bid Request. Each Competitive
Bid must comply with the provisions of this Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) and must be
submitted to Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a Competitive Bid being submitted by
Administrative Agent in its capacity as a Lender, to Borrower), by

Page 36

 

facsimile, no later than 7:00 A.M. (or, in the case of a Competitive Bid by
Administrative Agent, in its capacity as Lender, 6:30 A.M.), California time, (1) in the
case of a Fixed Rate Auction, three Business Days prior to the Funding Date of the proposed
Borrowing(s), or (2) in the case of an Absolute Rate Auction, on the Funding Date. Each
Competitive Bid so submitted (subject only to the provisions of Section
2.1(a)(ii)(A)(1) above and to the satisfaction of all other conditions precedent to the
requested Bid Advance(s)) shall be irrevocable, unless Borrower otherwise agrees in writing.

                    (B) Each Competitive Bid shall identify and be signed on behalf of the submitting
Lender, shall specify the date of the proposed borrowing(s) specified in the Competitive Bid
Request to which the submitting Lender is responding and shall specify:

               (1) the principal amount of each Bid Advance for which a Competitive
Bid is being made (which shall not be limited by the submitting Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the Commitment, but which shall be in an amount, no greater
than the amount of the requested borrowing, equal to $5,000,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof); and

               (2) (aa) in the case of a Fixed Rate Auction, the LIBOR Bid Margin
offered by the submitting Lender, or (bb) in the case of an Absolute Rate
Auction, the Absolute Rate offered by the submitting Lender.

A Competitive Bid may include up to three separate offers by the submitting Lender with respect to
each Fixed Rate Period specified in the Competitive Bid Request to which it responds. Any
Competitive Bid that (X) does not include all the information required by this Section, (Y)
contains language that qualifies or conditions the submitting Lender’s offer to make the Bid
Advance(s) described therein or to otherwise make such an offer revocable or proposes terms other
than (or in addition to) the terms proposed in the relevant Competitive Bid Request other than by
setting an aggregate limit on the principal amount of Bid Advances for which offers being made by
the submitting Lender may be accepted, or (Z) is received by Administrative Agent (or Borrower, as
applicable) after the time set forth in this Section (unless amended to bring it into compliance
with respect to any noncompliance described in clause (X) or (Y), in either case prior to the time
set forth in this Section) shall be disregarded.

               (4) Promptly upon receipt, but not later than 8:00 A.M. (California time) on the date
by which Competitive Bids are required to have been submitted with respect to a Competitive
Bid Request, Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower of (i)(A) the terms of each
Competitive Bid (other than one that is to be disregarded as described above) received in
response to the Competitive Bid Request, and (B) the identity of the Lender submitting such
Competitive Bid, and (ii)(A) the aggregate principal amount of Bid Advances for which
Competitive Bids have been received for each Fixed Rate Period requested in the Competitive
Bid Request, and (B) the respective principal amounts and LIBOR Bid Margins or Absolute
Rates, as the case may be, so offered.

Page 37

 

               (5) No later than 8:30 A.M. (California time) on the date by which Competitive Bids are
required to have been submitted with respect to a Competitive Bid Request, Borrower shall
notify Administrative Agent, by means of a notice reasonably acceptable to Administrative
Agent in form, of its acceptance or rejection of the offers notified to it as provided in
Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(4) above. Borrower shall have no obligation to accept any
such offer, and may choose to reject all of them. If Borrower has failed to timely notify
Administrative Agent of its acceptance or rejection of any one or more offers by the time
specified in this Section, Borrower shall be deemed to have rejected such offer(s).
Borrower may accept any Competitive Bid (other than one that is to be disregarded as
provided above) in whole or in part, provided that:

               (a) the aggregate principal amount of the Competitive Bids so accepted may not
exceed the aggregate amount of the borrowing(s) requested in the relevant
Competitive Bid Request;

               (b) (i) subject to the provisions set forth below with respect to multiple
offers at the same LIBOR Bid Margin or Absolute Rate, the principal amount of each
accepted Competitive Bid must be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof and (ii) Competitive Bids must be accepted
with respect to an aggregate principal amount of at least $15,000,000 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and

               (c) with respect to each Fixed Rate Period for which Competitive Bids were
requested, Borrower shall accept offers solely on the basis of ascending LIBOR Bid
Margins or Absolute Rates, as the case may be (provided that Borrower may, to the
extent necessary to comply with the preceding subparagraph (b), accept only part of
an offer at a particular LIBOR Bid Margin or Absolute Rate and accept all or part of
one or more offers at a higher LIBOR Bid Margin or Absolute Rate).

If Borrower chooses to accept one or more offers, Borrower shall deliver a notice to Administrative
Agent by not later than 8:30 A.M. (California time), in such form as Administrative Agent may from
time to time reasonable request), specifying the aggregate principal amount of offers with respect
to each requested Fixed Rate Period that it chooses to accept. If two or more Lenders offer the
same LIBOR Bid Margin or Absolute Rate for an aggregate principal amount greater than the amount
for which such offers were requested (or greater than the remaining portion of such offers that has
not been allocated to offers at lower Fixed Rate Bid Margins or Absolute Rates) with respect to any
requested Fixed Rate Period, Borrower shall allocate the principal amount of the affected Bid
Advances among such Lenders as nearly as possible (in such multiples, not less than $1,000,000, as
Borrower may deem appropriate) in proportion to the aggregate principal amounts to which their
respective offers related. Borrower’s allocation, in the absence of manifest error, shall be
conclusive.

               (6) Promptly upon receipt of the notice from Borrower pursuant to Section
2.1(a)(ii)(C)(5) above, Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender having
submitted a Competitive Bid whether its offer has been accepted and, if its offer

Page 38

 

has been accepted, of the amount of the Bid Advance(s) to be made by it on the date of
the relevant borrowing(s).

               (7) Promptly (but no later than one Business Day) following each borrowing of one or
more Bid Advances, Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender (whether or not such Lender
submitted a Competitive Bid with respect to such borrowing) of the ranges of Competitive
Bids submitted and the highest and lowest Competitive Bids accepted for each Fixed Rate
Period requested by Borrower and of the aggregate amount of the Bid Advances made pursuant
to such Borrowing.

               (8) Upon receipt of a Competitive Bid Request in proper form requesting Competitive
Bids to make a Bid Advance that is a Fixed Rate Advance under Section
2.1(a)(ii)(C)(1) above, Administrative Agent shall determine the LIBOR Rate applicable
to each of the Fixed Rate Periods specified in the Competitive Bid Request, and shall, two
Business Days prior to the beginning of such Fixed Rate Period, send a written notice
specifying such rate (or rates, as the case may be) to Borrower and the Lenders;
provided, however, that failure to give such notice to any Person shall not
affect the validity of such rate.

               (9) Not later than 10:00 A.M. (California time) on the date specified in such notice as
the Funding Date, each Lender that submitted a Competitive Bid that was accepted by
Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, shall make its Bid Advance available,
in immediately available funds, to Administrative Agent.

          (D) Funding of Bid Advances. Subject to and upon satisfaction of the applicable
conditions set forth in Article 3, as determined by Administrative Agent, Administrative
Agent shall make the proceeds of the requested Bid Advances available to Borrower in Dollars in
immediately available funds in Borrower’s deposit account referred to in Section 2.1(b).

                    (iii) Swing Line Advances.

          (A) There is hereby established a sub-facility (the “Swing Line”), in the amount of
Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000), under and as a part of the Commitment. The Swing Line shall
not for any purpose be an addition to the Commitment, but shall be a sub-feature thereunder. All
Advances requested to be made pursuant to the Swing Line shall be subject to the same terms and
conditions applicable to other Advances under the Commitment, and all outstanding Swing Line
Advances shall likewise be subject to the same terms and conditions applicable to other outstanding
Advances under the Commitment, except as expressly provided in (1) the following Section
2.1(a)(iii)(B), (2) Section 2.1(a)(i)(B)(5) with respect to the number of Borrowings
permitted in any calendar month, the time within which the Notice of Borrowing for Swing Line
Advances must be given, the minimum and incremental amounts applicable to Swing Line Advances and
the interest rate applicable thereto, (3) Section 2.6(a) with respect to prepayments of
Swing Line Advances, and (4) Section 10.3(c).

          (B) The Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to make Advances to Borrower from time to time during
the period from the Closing Date to the date seven (7) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date, in
an aggregate principal amount not exceeding at any one time the lesser of

Page 39

 

(1) the Loan Availability less the outstanding principal of all Advances other than Swing Line
Advances, and (2) Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000). The Swing Line Lender’s obligation to fund
Swing Line Advances shall be unaffected by its making of any other Loans, notwithstanding that the
sum of the Swing Line Advances plus the Swing Line Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Commitment other than Swing Line Advances may exceed the Swing
Line Lender’s Commitment.

          (C) Any Swing Line Advance which is not repaid (either by Borrower funds or by a Borrower
requested Advance under the Loan) within five (5) Business Days after such Swing Line Advance’s
date of funding shall, in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.3(c) hereof and for
purposes of determining availability of Swing Line Advances, be converted to an Advance under the
Loan (and no longer considered a Swing Line Advance), which Advance shall accrue interest at the
Base Rate.

               (iv) Letters of Credit.

          (A) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower
during the period from and including the Closing Date to, but excluding, the L/C Maturity Date one
or more standby letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate
Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount.

          (B) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and
conditions of each Letter of Credit shall be subject to approval by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower. All Letters of Credit shall be issued in United States Dollars. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the L/C
Maturity Date, (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one year, or (iii)
any Letter of Credit contain an automatic renewal provision which (x) would allow such Letter of
Credit to be renewed more often than annually or (y) would allow, after giving effect to all
renewal periods, the expiration date of such Letter of Credit to extend beyond the L/C Maturity
Date. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $1,000,000.

          (C) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the
Administrative Agent written notice at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested date of
issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of
such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by
such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit (i)
the proposed initial Stated Amount, (ii) the beneficiary, and (iii) the expiration date. The
Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby
letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by the Administrative Agent.
Provided the Borrower has timely given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this
subsection and delivered such application and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, and
provided that Administrative Agent and the proposed beneficiary of the requested Letter of Credit
have agreed upon the form of such Letter of Credit, subject to the other terms and conditions of
this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in
Article 3, the Administrative Agent shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the

Page 40

 

requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior
to the date five (5) Business Days following the date after which the Administrative Agent has
received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. Upon the written
request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of (x) any
Letter of Credit proposed to be issued hereunder prior to the issuance thereof and (y) each issued
Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any
term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of
such Loan Document shall control. In no event shall Borrower request that a Letter of Credit be
issued on a date that is less than thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date.

          (D) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent from the
beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by the
Administrative Agent as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the
Administrative Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand. The Borrower hereby
absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Administrative Agent
for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on
which payment is to be made by the Administrative Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without
presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind. Upon receipt by the Administrative
Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Administrative Agent shall, to
the extent such amount was previously funded by the Lenders, promptly pay to each Lender such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such payment.

          (E) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the
immediately preceding subsection (D), the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent whether or
not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower
shall submit a timely Notice of Borrowing as provided in Section 2.1(a)(i)(B). If the
Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the
Administrative Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment,
then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article 3 have been satisfied, the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested an Advance (which shall be a Base Rate Advance) in an
amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each
Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Advance to be made available to the Administrative Agent
not later than 11:00 A.M. (California time) and (ii) if the conditions to Article III have not been
satisfied, the provisions of subsection (J) of this Section shall apply.

          (F) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the
Administrative Agent of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or
been terminated, the Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of
this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Pro Rata Share and (ii) the
sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement
Obligations then outstanding.

          (G) Administrative Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of
Reimbursement Obligation. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under
Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such

Page 41

 

documents, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to use the same standard of care as
it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters
of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit.
The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit
by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation
of the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for
(i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document
submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing
honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects
invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any
instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or
the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be
invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to
comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable,
telex, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of
technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required
in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the
misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under
any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting
of any of the Administrative Agent’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be
taken by the Administrative Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or
omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create against the
Administrative Agent any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this connection, the
obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Administrative Agent for any drawing made under any
Letter of Credit shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under
all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any
lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions
therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter
of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the
Borrower may have at any time against the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a
Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions
contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any
breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any
other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein
or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of
any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Administrative Agent
 under the Letter
of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the
terms of the Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance
whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable
defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations.

Page 42

 

          (H) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Administrative Agent of any
amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same
conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including,
without limitation, that the request therefor be made through the Administrative Agent), and no
such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective
Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been
issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders shall
have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification,
the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 2.5(e).

          (I) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the
Administrative Agent of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely,
irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Administrative Agent, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Pro
Rata Share of the liability of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit and
each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor
and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Administrative Agent to pay and
discharge when due, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Administrative Agent’s liability under such
Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Administrative
Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (J), such
Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Administrative Agent
or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement
Obligation owing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit
and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share in any interest or
other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the
fees payable to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.5(e)).

          (J) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent on demand in immediately available funds the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of each drawing paid by the Administrative Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent
such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Subsection (D) above of this Section.
Each such Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this
subsection, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever,
including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this
subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower, the REIT, or any other Consolidated
Entity, (iii) the existence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, including any
Event of Default described in Section 9.1(g) or Section 9.1(h), or (iv) the
termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Administrative Agent shall be made
without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

          (K) Information to Lenders. Promptly following any change in the Stated Amount of
Letters of Credit outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender and the
Borrower a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding at such
time. Upon the request of any Lender from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall deliver

Page 43

 

any other information reasonably requested by such Lender with respect to each Letter of
Credit then outstanding. Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Administrative Agent
shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters
of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements
under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under Subsection (J) of
this Section.

          (b) Making of Advances. Subject to Section 10.3 or as otherwise provided
herein, Administrative Agent shall deposit the proceeds of each new Advance in Borrower’s account
number 001-223275 at the Beverly Hills Office of City National Bank, in accordance with a separate,
fully executed “Funds Transfer Agreement” on Administrative Agent’s standard form.

          (c) Term. The outstanding balance of the Advances shall be payable in full on the
earliest to occur of, (i) April 30, 2009 (as such date may be
extended pursuant to Section 2.1(d), (ii) the acceleration of the Advances pursuant to
Section 9.2(a), or (iii) Borrower’s written notice to Administrative Agent (pursuant to
Section 2.8) of Borrower’s election to prepay all accrued Obligations and terminate the
Commitment (said earliest date referred to herein as the “Maturity Date”).

          (d) Extension of the Maturity Date. No less than ninety (90) days prior to the
Maturity Date, Borrower may elect to extend the Maturity Date for one (1) year by delivering
written notice of such election to Administrative Agent. Within five (5) Business Days after
Administrative Agent’s receipt of such written election, Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy
of such written election to each Lender. Such extension shall become effective only if (i) both at
the time of such written election, and as of the original Maturity Date, no Event of Default or
Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (ii) Borrower pays the extension fee
required by Section 2.5(d). If such requested extension becomes effective in accordance
with the preceding sentence, the original Maturity Date shall be extended to April 30, 2010. In
all other cases, the original Maturity Date shall not be extended. Administrative Agent may, in
its discretion, increase the Capitalization Rate applicable during the extension term from eight
and one-quarter percent (8.25%) to eight and one-half percent (8.50%) if such increase is made by
Administrative Agent in good faith and on a basis consistent with capitalization rates that
Administrative Agent is then generally applying to Office Properties in the relevant markets;
provided, however, that no such increase in the Capitalization Rate during the
extension term shall become effective unless the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower of such
increase not later than thirty (30) days following a written request therefor by Borrower, which
request may be made by Borrower within one hundred fifty (150) days prior to, but not later than
forty-five (45) days prior to, the original Maturity Date.

          (e) Prior Loan.

          (i) Effective as of the Closing Date, all Indebtedness and Obligations of Borrower
relating to the Prior Loan and arising under the Prior Credit Agreement, the Prior Notes and
any other Prior Loan Documents are hereby amended and restated in full by this Agreement,
the Notes and the Loan Documents. On the Closing Date, the Prior Notes shall be canceled
and promptly thereafter returned to Borrower. In the event that any Lender does not return
its note or notes within twenty (20) days after the Closing

Page 44

 

Date, Borrower shall be entitled to receive a lost note affidavit in customary form
from the Lender, including an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, with
respect to the unreturned note or notes. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
effective as of the Closing Date, the commitment of the Prior Lenders to make additional
Advances under (and as defined in) the Prior Credit Agreement shall automatically terminate,
and Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, effective as of the Closing Date, no Prior Lender
(or any Lender) shall have any further obligations to Borrower under the Prior Credit
Agreement, the Prior Notes or any other Prior Loan Document.

(ii) Effective as of July ___, 2005, certain of the Lenders shall purchase, and certain
of the Lenders shall sell, to one another, the percentage interest in the Commitment as
reflected in Schedule 2.1(e) hereto, in order to reallocate the Carryover Principal
Balance under the Notes among the Lenders to correspond to the Pro Rata Shares of the
Lenders specified in Schedule 1.1 hereto. The applicable purchase price payments
are specified in Schedule 2.1(e) hereto and are referred to herein as the
“Adjusting Purchase Payments”. The Adjusting Purchase Payments shall be made to
Administrative Agent by the applicable purchasing Lender by Federal Reserve wire transfer
initiated by the payor no later than 8:00 A.M. (California time) on July ___, 2005. Upon
receipt of all such payments, Administrative Agent shall promptly send appropriate portions
thereof to the selling Lenders by Federal Reserve wire transfer. The parties to this
Agreement acknowledge that the Adjusting Purchase Payments do not include interest or fees,
which Borrower is obligated pursuant to the terms of Section 3.1(i) to pay through
and including July ___, 2005.

     2.2. Authorization to Obtain Advances. Schedule 2.2 sets forth the names of
those employees of Borrower authorized by Borrower to sign Notices of Borrowing and requests for
Letters of Credit, and Administrative Agent and Lenders shall be entitled to rely on such Schedule
until notified in writing by Borrower of any change(s) of the persons so authorized.
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to act on the instructions of anyone identifying himself or
herself as one of the Persons authorized to execute a Notice of Borrowing, and Borrower shall be
bound thereby in the same manner as if such Person were actually so authorized. Borrower agrees to
indemnify, defend and hold Lenders and Administrative Agent harmless from and against any and all
Liabilities and Costs which may arise or be created by the acceptance of instructions in any Notice
of Borrowing, unless caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be
indemnified.

     2.3. Lenders’ Accounting. Administrative Agent shall maintain a loan account (the
“Loan Account”) on its books in which shall be recorded (a) the names and addresses and the
Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of each of the Lenders, and the principal amount of Advances
owing to each Lender from time to time, and (b) all Advances and repayments of principal and
payments of accrued interest, as well as payments of fees required to be paid pursuant to this
Agreement, and prepayments under the Swing Line. All entries in the Loan Account shall be made in
accordance with Administrative Agent’s customary accounting practices as in effect from time to
time. Monthly or at such other interval as is customary with Administrative Agent’s practice,
Administrative Agent will render a statement of the Loan Account to Borrower and will deliver a
copy thereof to each Lender. Each such statement shall be deemed final,

Page 45

 

binding and conclusive
upon Borrower in all respects as to all matters reflected therein (absent manifest error).

     2.4. Interest on the Advances.

          (a) Base Rate Advances; Swing Line Advances. Subject to Section 2.4(f), all
Base Rate Advances shall bear interest on the daily unpaid principal amount thereof from the date
made until paid in full at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. Base Rate Advances
shall be made in minimum amounts of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). All Swing Line
Advances shall bear interest on the daily unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made until
paid in full at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate in effect during such time period
less the Applicable Swing Line Advance Margin.

          (b) LIBOR Advances. Subject to Sections 2.4(f) and 2.4(j), LIBOR
Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof during the Interest Period
applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period
plus the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin. LIBOR Advances shall be in amounts of One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) or Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) increments in excess thereof. No more
than eight (8) LIBOR Advances shall be outstanding at any one time. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein and subject to the default interest provisions contained in
Section 2.4(f), if an Event of Default occurs and as a result thereof the Commitment is
terminated and the Loan thereby accelerated, then all LIBOR Advances shall be converted to Base
Rate Advances upon the date of such acceleration, and Borrower shall pay Lenders any Fixed Rate
Price Adjustment in connection therewith.

          (c) Absolute Rate Bid Advances. Subject to Section 2.4(f) and Section
2.4(j), all Absolute Rate Bid Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount
thereof during the Fixed Rate Period applicable thereto at a fixed rate per annum equal to the
Absolute Rate quoted by the Lender making such Bid Advance pursuant to Section
2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) and accepted by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(5).

          (d) Fixed Rate Bid Advances. Subject to Sections 2.4(f) and 2.4(j),
Fixed Rate Bid Advances shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof during the Fixed
Rate Period applicable thereto at a fixed rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate plus or minus the
LIBOR Bid Margin quoted by the Lender making such Bid Advance pursuant to Section
2.1(a)(ii)(C)(3) and accepted by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(C)(5).

          (e) Interest Payments. Subject to Section 2.4(f), interest accrued on all
Advances (other than Advances in respect of which interest is determined on the basis of LIBOR)
shall be payable by Borrower, in the manner provided in Section 2.6(b) in arrears on the
first Business Day of the first calendar month following the Closing Date, the first Business Day
of each succeeding calendar month thereafter, and on the Maturity Date. Interest on LIBOR based
Advances shall be payable in the manner provided in Section 2.6(b) in arrears at the end of
the Interest Period applicable to such Advance, but in no event less frequently than once every
three months with respect to each Interest Period.

Page 46

 

          (f) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Sections
2.4(a) and 2.4(b) and the payment dates specified in Section 2.4(e), effective
at the option of Requisite Lenders following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event
of Default, the principal balance of all Advances then outstanding and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, any interest payments not paid when due, shall bear interest, payable upon demand,
at a rate which is three percent (3%) per annum in excess of the rate(s) of interest otherwise
payable from time to time under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of
the other Loan Documents, all other amounts due Administrative Agent or the Lenders (whether
directly or for reimbursement) under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents if not paid
when due, or if no time period is expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after written demand,
shall bear interest from and after demand at the rate set forth in this Section 2.4(f).

          (g) Intentionally Omitted. 

          (h) Computation of Interest. Interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed in the period during which interest or fees accrue and a year of three
hundred sixty (360) days, except that interest on Base Rate Advances shall be calculated on the
basis of the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year (i.e., 365 or 366, as
applicable). In computing interest on any Advance, subject to Section 2.6(b), the date of the
making of the Advance shall be included and the date of payment shall be excluded;
provided, however, that if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is
made, one (1) day’s interest shall be paid on that Advance. Notwithstanding any provision in this
Section 2.4, interest in respect of any Advance shall not exceed the maximum rate permitted
by applicable law.

          (i) Changes; Legal Restrictions. In the event that, after the Closing Date, (A) the
adoption of or any change in any law, treaty, rule, regulation, guideline or determination of a
court or Governmental Authority or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by a
court or Governmental Authority, or (B) compliance by Administrative Agent or any Lender with any
request or directive made or issued after the Closing Date (whether or not having the force of law
and whether or not the failure to comply therewith would be unlawful) from any central bank or
other Governmental Authority or quasi-governmental authority:

          (i) subjects Administrative Agent or any Lender to any tax, duty or other charge of any
kind with respect to the Commitment, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents,
including the Notes or the Advances, or changes the basis of taxation of payments to
Administrative Agent or such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder, except for net income, gross receipts, gross profits or franchise taxes imposed
by any jurisdiction and not specifically based upon loan transactions (all such non-excepted
taxes, duties and other charges being hereinafter referred to as “Lender Taxes”);

          (ii) imposes, modifies or holds applicable, in the determination of Administrative
Agent or any Lender, any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance, capital
allocation or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities
in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other
acquisition of funds by, Administrative Agent or such Lender

Page 47

 

or any applicable lending office (except to the extent that the reserve and FDIC
insurance requirements are reflected in the “Base Rate” or in determining the LIBOR Rate);

          (iii) imposes on Administrative Agent or any Lender any other condition materially more
burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in existence as of the Closing Date;
or

          (iv) imposes, modifies or deems applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital
adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to
Letters of Credit, then, upon demand by the Administrative Agent or such Lender,

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Administrative Agent or any
Lender of making, renewing, maintaining or participating in the Advances or to reduce any amount
receivable thereunder (or the cost of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or
maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit
or reduce any amount receivable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of
any Letter of Credit); then in any such case, Borrower shall promptly pay to Administrative
Agent or such Lender, as applicable, within seven (7) days after Borrower’s receipt of written
demand, such amount or amounts (based upon a reasonable allocation to this Agreement and directly
related to the change in circumstances set forth in this Section 2.4(i)) as may be
necessary to compensate Administrative Agent or such Lender for any such additional cost incurred
or reduced amounts received. Administrative Agent or such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and in
the case of a delivery by such Lender, such Lender shall also deliver to Administrative Agent, a
written statement of the claimed additional costs incurred or reduced amounts received and the
basis therefor as soon as reasonably practicable after such Lender obtains knowledge thereof. If
Administrative Agent or any Lender subsequently recovers any amount of Lender Taxes previously paid
by Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.4(i), whether before or after termination of this
Agreement, then, upon receipt of good funds with respect to such recovery, Administrative Agent or
such Lender will refund such amount to Borrower if no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default then exists or, if an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, such
amount will be credited to the Obligations in the manner determined by Administrative Agent or such
Lender.

          (j) Certain Provisions Regarding LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances and Absolute Rate
Bid Advances.

          (i) Certain Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine (which
determination shall, upon notice thereof to Borrower and Administrative Agent, be conclusive
and binding on the parties hereto) that after the Closing Date the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or
other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to make or
maintain any Advance as a LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid
Advance, (A) the obligations of such Lender to make or maintain any Advances as LIBOR
Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances or Absolute Rate Bid Advances shall, upon such
determination, forthwith be suspended until such Lender shall notify Administrative Agent
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist

Page 48

 

(and such Lender shall give notice if such circumstances no longer exist), and (B) if
required by such law or assertion, the existing LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances or
Absolute Rate Bid Advances of such Lender shall automatically convert into Base Rate
Advances.

          (ii) Deposits Unavailable. If Administrative Agent shall have determined in
good faith that adequate means do not exist for ascertaining the interest rate applicable
hereunder to LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances or Absolute Rate Bid Advances, then,
upon notice from Administrative Agent to Borrower the obligations of all the Lenders to make
or maintain Advances as LIBOR Advances, Fixed Rate Bid Advances or Absolute Rate Bid
Advances shall forthwith be suspended until Administrative Agent shall notify Borrower that
the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist. Administrative Agent will give
such notice when it determines, in good faith, that such circumstances no longer exist;
provided, however, that neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall
have any liability to any Person with respect to any delay in giving such notice.

          (iii) Fixed Rate Price Adjustment. Borrower acknowledges that prepayment or
acceleration of a LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance during
an Interest Period shall result in the Lenders incurring additional costs, expenses and/or
liabilities and that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the extent of
such costs, expenses and/or liabilities. (For all purposes of this subparagraph (iii), any
Advance not being made as a LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid
Advance in accordance with the Notice of Borrowing therefor, as a result of Borrower’s
cancellation thereof, shall be treated as if such LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or
Absolute Rate Bid Advance had been prepaid.) Therefore, on the date a LIBOR Advance, Fixed
Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance is prepaid or the date all sums payable
hereunder become due and payable, by acceleration or otherwise (“Price Adjustment
Date”), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender (or
the applicable Lender in the case of a Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance),
in addition to all other sums then owing, an amount (“Fixed Rate Price Adjustment”)
equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the
LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance for the remainder of the
Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or
Absolute Rate Bid Advance, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same
LIBOR Advance, Fixed Rate Bid Advance or Absolute Rate Bid Advance for the same period if
the LIBOR Rate were set on the Price Adjustment Date. The present value shall be calculated
by using as a discount rate the LIBOR Rate quoted on the Price Adjustment Date.

By initialing this provision where indicated below, Borrower confirms that Lenders’ agreement to
make the Loan at the interest rates and on the other terms set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents constitutes adequate and valuable consideration, given individual weight by Borrower, for
this agreement.

BORROWER’S INITIALS: /s/ RSD

Page 49

 

Within seven (7) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from Administrative Agent,
Borrower shall immediately pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders, the Fixed
Rate Price Adjustment as calculated by Administrative Agent. Such written notice (which shall
include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding on the parties hereto.

          (iv) Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (A) no Lender has
any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of the LIBOR
Rate as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Advance or a Fixed Rate
Price Adjustment; (B) the LIBOR Rate is used merely as a reference in determining such rate
and/or Fixed Rate Price Adjustment; and (C) Borrower has accepted the LIBOR Rate as a
reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and a Fixed Rate Price Adjustment.
Borrower further agrees to pay the Fixed Rate Price Adjustment and Lender Taxes, if any,
whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

          (k) Withholding Tax Exemption. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first day
on which interest or fees are payable hereunder for the account of any Lender, each Lender that is
not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America, or a state thereof, agrees that it
will deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower two (2) duly completed copies of United States
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI (and any necessary Form W-8IMY), certifying in
either case that such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without any
deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes and a valid and duly completed
and executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9. Each Lender which so delivers a Form W-8BEN
or Form W-8ECI further undertakes to deliver to Administrative Agent and Borrower two (2)
additional copies of such form (or any applicable successor form) on or before the date that such
form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the
most recent forms so delivered by it, and such amendments thereto or extensions or renewals thereof
as may be reasonably requested by Administrative Agent or Borrower, in each case certifying that
such Lender is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without any deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including, without
limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any
such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it and such
Lender advises Administrative Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any
deduction or withholding of United States federal income taxes. If any Lender cannot deliver such
form or delivers one or more such forms indicating that such Lender is entitled to only a partial
exemption from withholding, then Borrower may withhold from such payments such amounts as are
required by the Code.

     2.5. Fees.

          (a) Fees. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent the fees in respect of the
Commitment pursuant to a separate agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower.

Page 50

 

          (b) Facility Fee. Until the Obligations are paid in full and this Agreement is
terminated or, if sooner, the date the Commitment terminates, and subject to Section
10.4(b), Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, a fee (the
“Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to (i) the Commitment multiplied by (ii)
the Applicable Facility Fee Rate. The Facility Fee shall be payable, in the manner provided in
Section 2.5(e), in arrears on the first Business Day of each Fiscal Quarter, and shall be
payable on the Maturity Date or, if sooner, the date the Commitment terminates or on the date of
payment in full of all Obligations. The Facility Fee shall be prorated for any period of less than
a full Fiscal Quarter.

          (c) Agency Fees. Borrower shall pay Administrative Agent such fees as are provided
for in the agency fee agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower, as in existence from
time to time.

          (d) Extension Fee. Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for distribution to
each Lender which holds a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment, a fee in an amount equal to, as
applicable, (i) 0.25% of the Commitment payable to each such Lender with a Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment equal to or greater than $50,000,000, or (ii) 0.15% of the Commitment payable to each
such Lender with a Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of less than $50,000,000. Such fee shall be
due and payable by Borrower to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders concurrently
with Borrower’s delivery of its written election to extend the Maturity Date pursuant to
Section 2.1(d).

          (e) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for
the ratable benefit of the Lenders a letter of credit fee in respect of each outstanding Letter of
Credit at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the
Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin and the Applicable Facility Fee from time to time in effect multiplied
by the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit or (ii) $1,000. Such letter of credit fee shall be
payable quarterly in arrears (for the respective number of days outstanding) on the first Business
Day of each Fiscal Quarter during the term of such Letter of Credit, provided that the full amount
of such fee shall be immediately due and payable upon any early termination of a Letter of Credit.
The Borrower shall pay directly to the Administrative Agent a fronting fee and an issuing fee for
its account with respect to each Letter of Credit issued as provided for in a separate agreement
between Administrative Agent and borrower, together with, from time to time, on demand all
commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Administrative
Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of
Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

          (f) Payment of Fees. The fees described in this Section 2.5 represent
compensation for services rendered and to be rendered separate and apart from the lending of money
or the provision of credit and do not constitute compensation for the use, detention or forbearance
of money, and the obligation of Borrower to pay the fees described herein shall be in addition to,
and not in lieu of, the obligation of Borrower to pay interest, other fees and expenses otherwise
described in this Agreement. All fees shall be payable when due in immediately available funds and
shall be nonrefundable when paid. If Borrower fails to make when due, or if no time period is
expressed, if not paid within ten (10) days after written demand therefor, any payment of fees or
expenses specified or referred to in this Agreement due to Administrative Agent or the Lenders,
including without limitation those referred to in this Section 2.5, in

Page 51

 

Section 11.1, or otherwise under this Agreement or any separate fee agreement between
Borrower and Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to this Agreement, such amount shall bear
interest from and after demand until paid at the rate specified in Section 2.4(f) (but not
to exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law), and shall constitute part of the
Obligations. The Facility Fee shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and the actual
number of days elapsed.

     2.6. Payments.

          (a) Voluntary Prepayments. Subject to Section 2.1(a)(ii)(A)(3), Borrower may,
upon prior written notice to Administrative Agent delivered not later than 11:00 A.M. (San
Francisco time) not less than one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed prepayment date, at any
time and from time to time, prepay any Advances in whole or in part, provided that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may, upon written notice given not later than 11:00 A.M.
(San Francisco time) on the proposed date of repayment, prepay Swing Line Advances in whole or in
part on such date. If, at the time of prepayment of the Advances, there are outstanding any Swing
Line Advances, such prepayment shall be applied first to the prepayment of outstanding Swing Line
Advances, and second to the prepayment of other Advances. Any notice of prepayment given to
Administrative Agent under this Section 2.6(a) shall specify the date of prepayment and the
aggregate principal amount of the prepayment. In the event of a prepayment of LIBOR Advances,
Borrower shall pay any Fixed Rate Price Adjustment payable in respect thereof in accordance with
Section 2.4(j). Administrative Agent shall provide to each Lender a confirming copy of
such notice on the same Business Day such notice is received.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayment. To the extent Borrower at any time and for any reason is
not in compliance with Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)(2), Borrower shall promptly, but in any event
within five (5) Business Days, repay Advances outstanding hereunder in an amount sufficient to
cause compliance with such Section 2.1(a)(i)(A)(2). All payments under this subsection (b)
shall be applied to pay all amounts of excess principal outstanding on the applicable Advances and
any applicable Reimbursement Obligations and the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations as and when
due. Provided there is not then existing an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent shall, at the request of the Borrower, release any amounts deposited into the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account pursuant to this Section 2.6(b), at such time as
Borrower shall regain borrowing capacity pursuant to Section 2.1.

          (c) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal, interest and fees
hereunder payable to Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall be made without condition or
reservation of right and free of set-off or counterclaim, in Dollars and by wire transfer (pursuant
to Administrative Agent’s written wire transfer instructions) of immediately available funds, to
Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender entitled thereto not later than 11:00 A. M.
(San Francisco time) on the date due; and funds received by Administrative Agent after that time
and date shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day.

          (d) Payment on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by Borrower
hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, such

Page 52

 

payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be
included in the computation of the payment of interest hereunder and of any of the fees specified
in Section 2.5, as the case may be.

     2.7. Notice of Increased Costs. Each Lender agrees that, as promptly as reasonably
practicable after it becomes aware of the occurrence of an event or the existence of a condition
which would cause it to be affected by any of the events or conditions described in Section
2.4(i) or (j), it will notify Borrower, and provide a copy of such notice to
Administrative Agent, of such event and the possible effects thereof, provided that the
failure to provide such notice shall not affect such Lender’s rights to reimbursement provided for
herein. Provided no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,
Borrower shall have the right (the “Payoff Right”) to pay to such Lender all principal,
accrued and unpaid interest and any other amounts (collectively, the “Payoff Amount”) due
such Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including amounts due such Lender
under Section 2.4(i)). Borrower may exercise the Payoff Right only by delivering
written notice of Borrower’s exercise of such Payoff Right to such Lender, the Administrative Agent
and the other Lenders within fifteen (15) days after Borrower’s receipt of written notice from such
Lender that Borrower owes amounts under Section 2.4(i) and thereafter paying, in
immediately available funds, the Payoff Amount to such Lender within such 15-day period. Upon such
Lender’s receipt of the Payoff Amount, such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment shall be
terminated, the Commitment shall be reduced by an amount equal to such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of
the Commitment and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of the remaining Lenders shall be adjusted
and the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to each of the Lenders of the adjusted Pro
Rata Shares.

     2.8. Voluntary Termination or Reduction of Commitment. At any time prior to the
Maturity Date, Borrower may, upon not less than five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Commitment in effect or permanently reduce the Commitment in
effect by an aggregate minimum amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000) or any multiple of
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) in excess thereof, provided, however, that no
such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto and to any
prepayment of Advances made on the effective date of such termination or reduction, as the case may
be, the then outstanding principal amount of the Advances would exceed the Commitment in effect;
provided further, however, that once terminated or reduced in accordance
with this Section 2.8, the Commitment in effect may not thereafter be reinstated or
increased (provided that, if the Commitment is reduced (but not terminated) pursuant to
this Section 2.8, the Commitment may thereafter be increased pursuant to Section
2.9) and provided further, however, that although the Commitment in
effect may be terminated entirely pursuant to this Section 2.8, no partial termination
shall result in the Commitment being reduced to below One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000).
All accrued and unpaid fees due under Section 2.5 with respect to the portion of the
Commitment in effect being terminated or reduced shall be paid to the Administrative Agent on the
funding date of such termination or reduction.

     2.9. Optional Increase to the Commitment.

          (a) Provided that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default then exists, Borrower may,
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.9 and on no more than two (2)

Page 53

 

occasions
prior to the date occurring ninety (90) days prior to the original Maturity Date, request in
writing that the then effective Commitment be increased up to $400,000,000 minus the amount
of any reductions to the Commitment pursuant to Section 2.7 and/or Section 2.8 and
the amount of any previous increase in Commitment pursuant to this Section 2.9,
provided, however, that no such request shall be for an increase amount less than
$20,000,000. Any request under this Section shall be submitted by Borrower to the Lenders through
Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the proposed increase, specify the
proposed effective date and amount of such increase and be accompanied by (i) an Officer’s
Certificate of the REIT stating that no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default exists as of
the date of the request or will result from the requested increase, (ii) a written consent to the
increase in the amount of the Commitment executed by the REIT (in its capacity as “Guarantor” under
the Guaranty), and (iii) the satisfaction of all conditions precedent specified in Section
3.2. As a condition to the effectiveness of any such increase, Borrower shall execute such new
or replacement Notes as may be requested by Administrative Agent to evidence such increase in the
Commitment. Borrower may also specify any fees offered to those Lenders which agree to an increase
in the amount of their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment (which fees may be variable
based upon the amount which any such Lender is willing to assume as an increase to the amount of
its Pro Rata Share of the increased Commitment). The consent of the Lenders, as such, shall not be
required for an increase in the amount of the Commitment pursuant to this Section, and this
Agreement may be amended for the purpose of implementing any increase of the Commitment in
accordance with this Section 2.9 without the consent of any Lender, but subject to
Section 2.9(e) below.

          (b) Each Lender may approve or reject a request for an increase in the amount of its Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment in its sole and absolute discretion and, absent an affirmative written
response within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, shall be deemed to have rejected
the request. The rejection of such a request by any number of Lenders shall not affect Borrower’s
right to increase the Commitment pursuant to this Section as a result of, and with respect to the
Pro Rata Shares of, those Lenders that approve such increase and such additional Lenders that join
this Agreement in accordance with clause (e) of this Section. Notwithstanding any other provision
hereof, no Lender which rejects a request for an increase in the Commitment shall be (i) subject to
removal as a Lender, (ii) obligated to lend any amount greater than its original Pro Rata Share of
the original Commitment, or (iii) deemed to be in default in any respect hereunder.

          (c) In responding to a request under this Section, each Lender which is willing to increase
the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the increased Commitment shall specify the amount of the
proposed increase which it is willing to assume. Each consenting Lender shall be entitled to
participate ratably (based on its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment before such increase) in any
resulting increase in the Commitment, subject to the right of Administrative Agent to adjust
allocations of the increased Commitment so as to result in the amounts of the Pro Rata Shares of
the Lenders being in integral multiples of $1,000,000.

          (d) If the aggregate principal amount offered to be assumed by the consenting Lenders is less
than the amount requested, Borrower may (i) reject the proposed increase in its entirety, (ii)
accept the offered amounts or (iii) designate new lenders who qualify as eligible assignees under
Section 11.20 and which are reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent as

Page 54

 

additional
Lenders hereunder in accordance with clause (e) of this Section (each, a “New Lender”),
which New Lenders may assume the amount of the increase in the Commitment that has not been assumed
by the consenting Lenders.

          (e) Each New Lender designated by Borrower and reasonably acceptable to Administrative Agent
shall become an additional party hereto as a New Lender concurrently with the effectiveness of the
proposed increase in the Commitment upon its execution of an instrument of joinder to this
Agreement which is in form and substance acceptable to Administrative Agent and which, in any
event, contains the representations, warranties, indemnities and other protections afforded to
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders which would be granted or made by an eligible assignee
under Section 11.20 by means of the execution of an Assignment and Assumption.

          (f) Subject to the foregoing, any increase to the Commitment requested under this Section
shall be effective as of the date proposed by Borrower and shall be in the principal amount equal
to (i) the amount which consenting Lenders are willing to assume as increases to the amount of
their respective Pro Rata Shares plus (ii) the amount offered by any New Lenders. Upon the
effectiveness of any such increase, Borrower shall issue replacement Notes to each affected Lender
and new Notes to each New Lender, and the percentage Pro Rata Share of each Lender will be
adjusted, higher or lower as needed, to give effect to the increase in the Commitment and set forth
in a new Schedule 1.1 issued by Administrative Agent. On or prior to such effective date
and as applicable, certain of the Lenders shall purchase, and certain of the Lenders shall sell, to
one another, the percentage interest in the Commitment as necessary in order to reallocate the
principal balance under the Notes among the Lenders to correspond to the Pro Rata Shares of the
Lenders set forth in the new Schedule 1.1 referred to above.

     2.10. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Maturity Date.

     If on the date the Commitments are terminated (whether voluntarily, by reason of the
occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding
hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative Agent an amount of money
equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit
Collateral Account. If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the
expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to use
the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary
with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If no drawing occurs
on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall pay to
the Borrower (or to whomever else may be legally entitled thereto) the monies deposited in the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account (together with any accrued interest thereon) with respect to
such outstanding Letter of Credit on or before the date thirty (30) days after the expiration date
of such Letter of Credit.

     2.11. Funds Transfer Disbursements. (a) Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative
Agent to disburse any Advance pursuant to the Loan Documents, as requested by an authorized
representative of Borrower, to any of the account(s) to be designated in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit J. Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or
transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative Agent in
good

Page 55

 

faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by
Borrower. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent may rely solely on
any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a
wire or funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different bank or
account holder than named by Borrower. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any
way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. If Administrative
Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer
or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests,
Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions,
Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform
these actions in the future, and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer
disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents or any agreement
between Administrative Agent and Borrower. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any
errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer
requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such
transfer.

          (b) Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and
the means by which each transfer will be made. Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept
a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization, (ii)
require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or prohibited by government authority,
(iii) cause Administrative Agent to violate any Federal Reserve Board or other regulatory risk
control program or guideline, or (iii) otherwise cause Administrative Agent to violate any
applicable law or regulation.

          (c) Administrative Agent shall not be liable to Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors,
acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or
clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or
transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent, (ii) any loss,
liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or
failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal
constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s control, or (iii) any special,
consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (A) any claim for these damages is
based on tort or contract or (B) Administrative Agent or Borrower knew or should have known the
likelihood of these damages in any situation. Administrative Agent makes no representations or
warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

     2.12. Electronic Document Delivery. Documents required to be delivered pursuant to
the Loan Documents shall, if available, be delivered by electronic communication and delivery,
including, the Internet, e-mail or intranet websites to which the Administrative Agent and each
Lender have access (including a commercial, third-party website such as www.Edgar.com
<http://www.Edgar.com> or a website sponsored or hosted by the Administrative Agent or
the Borrower) provided that the foregoing shall not apply to (A) notices to Administrative
Agent or any Lender (or the Issuing Bank) pursuant to Section 2.1 and (B) any Lender that has
notified the Administrative Agent and Borrower that it cannot or does not want to receive
electronic communications. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.6, the
Administrative Agent or the Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it

Page 56

 

hereunder by electronic delivery pursuant to procedures approved by it for all
or particular notices or communications. Documents or notices delivered electronically shall be
deemed to have been delivered twenty-four (24) hours after the date and time on which the
Administrative Agent or Borrower posts such documents or the documents become available on a
commercial website and the Administrative Agent or Borrower notifies each Lender of said posting
and provides a link thereto provided if such notice or other communication is not sent or
posted during the normal business hours of the recipient, said posting date and time shall be
deemed to have commenced as of 9:00 a.m. on the opening of business on the next Business Day for
the recipient. Notwithstanding anything contained herein, in every instance the Borrower shall be
required to provide paper copies of the Compliance Certificate to the Administrative Agent and
shall deliver paper copies of any documents to the Administrative Agent or to any Lender that
requests such paper copies until a written request to cease delivering paper copies is given by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender. Except for the Compliance Certificate, the Administrative
Agent shall have no obligation to request the delivery of or to maintain paper copies of the
documents delivered electronically, and in any event shall have no responsibility to monitor
compliance by the Borrower with any such request for delivery. Each Lender shall be solely
responsible for requesting delivery to it of paper copies and maintaining its paper or electronic
documents.

ARTICLE 4

organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland, (ii) is duly qualified
to do business as a foreign limited partnership and in good standing under the laws of California
and each other jurisdiction in which it owns or leases real property or in which the nature of its
business requires it to be so qualified, except for those jurisdictions where failure to

Page 59

 

so qualify
and be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, and (iii) has all
requisite partnership power and authority to own, operate and encumber its Property and assets and
to conduct its business as presently conducted and as proposed to be conducted in connection with
and following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

          (b) Authority. Borrower has the requisite partnership power and authority to execute,
deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The execution, delivery and
performance thereof, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, have been duly
authorized by all necessary actions. Each of the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party has
been duly and validly executed and delivered by Borrower and constitutes its legal, valid and
binding obligation, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency and other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.

          (c) Ownership of Borrower. All of the Partnership Units of Borrower are validly
issued and non-assessable and as of the Closing Date are owned of record by the REIT or by the

As of December 31, 2004, the REIT owns 66,325,709 Partnership Units of Borrower, free and clear of
any Liens. Such Partnership Units were offered and sold in compliance in all material respects
with all Requirements of Law (including, without limitation, federal and state securities laws).
Except as set forth in Schedule 4.1(c), as of the Closing Date there are no outstanding
securities convertible into or exchangeable for Partnership Units of Borrower, or options, warrants
or rights to purchase any such Partnership Units, or commitments of any kind for the issuance of
additional Partnership Units or any such convertible or exchangeable securities or options,
warrants or rights to purchase such Partnership Units. The REIT is the sole general partner
of Borrower.

          (d) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and performance by Borrower of the Loan
Documents to which it is or will be a party, and each of the transactions contemplated thereby, do
not and will not (i) conflict with or violate Borrower’s limited partnership agreement or
certificate of limited partnership or other organizational documents, as the case may be, or (ii)
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any Requirement of Law, Contractual Obligation or Court Order of or binding
upon Borrower, which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or (iii) require termination
of any Contractual Obligation, which termination would have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower
or (iv) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any of the
Properties or assets of Borrower (other than Permitted Liens).

          (e) Consents and Authorizations. Borrower has obtained all consents and
authorizations required pursuant to its Contractual Obligations with any other Person, and shall
have obtained all consents and authorizations of, and effected all notices to and filings with, any
Governmental Authority, as may be necessary to allow Borrower to lawfully execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which Borrower is a party, except to the extent
that failure to obtain any such consent or authorization or to effect such notice or filing would
not have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

Page 60

 

          (f) Governmental Regulation. Neither Borrower nor the REIT is subject to regulation
under the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, the Federal Power Act, the Interstate
Commerce Act, the Investment Company Act of 1940 or any other federal or state statute or
regulation such that its ability to incur indebtedness is limited or its ability to consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents is materially impaired.

          (g) Financial Statements; Projections and Forecasts. Each of the financial
statements to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(b) and
Section 5.1(c) (i) has been, or will be, as applicable, prepared in accordance with the

either fairly present in all material respects, or will fairly present in all material respects, as
applicable, the financial condition of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities on a consolidated
basis, at the dates thereof (and, if applicable, subject to normal year-end adjustments) and the
results of its operations and cash flows, on a consolidated basis, for the period then ended. Each
of the projections delivered to Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof and each of the
projected consolidated cash flows to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
5.1(e), (A) has been, or will be, as applicable, prepared by the REIT in light of the past
business and performance of the REIT or its predecessors in interest on a consolidated basis and
(B) represent, or will represent, as of the date thereof, the reasonable good faith estimates of
the REIT’s financial personnel as of their respective dates.

          (h) Prior Operating Statements. Each of the operating statements pertaining to each
of the Unencumbered Assets in the Unencumbered Pool prepared by Borrower and delivered to
Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof was prepared in accordance with GAAP in effect on the
date such operating statement of each such Unencumbered Asset was
prepared and fairly presents the results of operations of such Unencumbered Asset for the
period then ended; provided, however, that no representation is made with respect
to any period prior to the ownership of such Unencumbered Asset by Borrower.

          (i) Unencumbered Pool Statements and Projections. Each of the Unencumbered Pool
Statements to be delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 5.1(f) (i) has been
or will be, as applicable, prepared in accordance with the books and records of the applicable

provided, however, that no representation is made with respect to any period prior
to the ownership of such Unencumbered Asset by Borrower.

          (j) Litigation; Adverse Effects.

          (i) Except as otherwise disclosed on Schedule 4.1(j), there is no action, suit,
proceeding, governmental investigation or arbitration, at law or in equity, or before or by
any Governmental Authority, pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened
against Borrower or any Property of Borrower which would result in a Material Adverse Effect
on Borrower.

          (ii) Borrower is not (A) in violation of any applicable law, which violation has a
Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, or (B) subject to or in default with

Page 61

 

respect to any
Court Order which has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower. There are no material
Proceedings pending or, to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, threatened against Borrower or
any Unencumbered Asset which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.

          (k) No Material Adverse Change. Since December 31, 2004, (i) there has occurred no
event which has a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower, and (ii) no material adverse change in
Borrower’s ability to perform its obligations under the Loan Documents to which it is a party or
the transactions contemplated thereby has occurred.

          (l) Payment of Taxes. All tax returns and reports to be filed by Borrower have been
timely filed, and all taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges shown on such returns
or otherwise payable by Borrower have been paid when due and payable (other than real property
taxes, which may be paid prior to delinquency so long as no penalty or interest shall attach
thereto), except such taxes, if any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP and are being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or such taxes, the failure to make payment of
which when due and payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower.
Borrower has no knowledge of any proposed tax assessment against Borrower that will have a Material
Adverse Effect on Borrower, which is not being actively contested in good faith by Borrower.

          (m) Material Adverse Agreements. Borrower is not a party to or subject to any
Contractual Obligation or other restriction contained in its limited partnership agreement,
certificate of limited partnership or similar governing documents which has a Material Adverse
Effect on Borrower.

          (n) Performance. Borrower is not in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any Contractual
Obligation applicable to it, and no condition exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse
of time or both, would constitute a default under such Contractual Obligation, except where the
consequences, direct or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, will not have a Material
Adverse Effect on Borrower.

          (o) Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Advances hereunder
will be used to purchase or carry any “margin security” as defined in Regulation U or for the
purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness which was originally incurred to purchase or carry
any margin security or for any other purpose which might constitute this transaction a “purpose
credit” within the meaning of said Regulation U. Neither Borrower nor the REIT is engaged
primarily in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying out any
“margin stock” as defined in Regulation U. No part of the proceeds of the Advances hereunder will
be used for any purpose that violates, or which is inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation
X or any other regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.

          (p) Disclosure. The representations and warranties of Borrower contained in the Loan
Documents and all certificates, financial statements and other documents delivered to
Administrative Agent in connection therewith, do not contain any untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact necessary, in order to make the statements contained herein or

Page 62

 

therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when taken together with
all other information provided by Borrower, not materially misleading; provided no representation
is made as to any information in the financial reports for any Real Property prior to its ownership
by Borrower. The factual information in any document, certificate or written statement furnished
to the Administrative Agent by or on behalf of the REIT or any other Consolidated Entity with
respect to the business, assets, prospects, results of operations or financial condition of the
REIT, Borrower or any other Consolidated Entity, including operating statements, lease status
reports and Rent Rolls for periods when the Real Property covered by such statements or Rent Rolls
is owned by Borrower, for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
was true and correct in all material respects as of the applicable date. To the best knowledge of
the REIT, Borrower or any Consolidated Entity, there is no occurrence that has had a Material
Adverse Effect on Borrower or the REIT or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on Borrower or the REIT, which has not been disclosed herein or in such other documents,
certificates and statements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any representations
and warranties relating to projections of Borrower’s future performance, such representations and
warranties are made in good faith as of the date thereof (it being understood that assumptions as
to future results are inherently subject to uncertainty and contingencies, many of which are beyond
Borrower’s control, and no assurance can be given that any particular projections will be
realized).

          (q) Requirements of Law. The REIT and the Consolidated Entities are in compliance
with all Requirements of Law (including without limitation the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act, and the applicable rules and regulations thereunder, state securities law and “Blue
Sky” laws) applicable to it and its respective businesses, in each case, where the failure to so
comply will have a Material Adverse Effect on the REIT or the Borrower. The REIT has obtained all
consents of the Commission and has made or will make within the
required time periods, all filings required under the Securities Act and the Securities
Exchange Act in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the REIT of the Loan
Documents.

          (r) Patents, Trademarks, Permits, Etc. The REIT and the Borrower own, are licensed or
otherwise have the lawful right to use, or have, all permits and other governmental approvals,
patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes used in or
necessary for the conduct of each such Person’s business as currently conducted, the absence of
which would have a Material Adverse Effect upon Borrower or the REIT. The use of such permits and
other governmental approvals, patents, trademarks, trade names, copyrights, technology, know-how
and processes by each such Person does not infringe on the rights of any Person subject to such
claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liability on the part of any
such Person which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the REIT.

          (s) Environmental Matters. Except as set forth on Schedule 4.1(s) or in any
phase I environmental or other reports delivered to Administrative Agent, to the best knowledge of
Borrower (i) the operations of the REIT and Borrower comply in all material respects with all
applicable, local, state and federal environmental, health and safety Requirements of Law
(“Environmental Laws”); (ii) none of the Unencumbered Assets or operations thereon are
subject to any Remedial Action or other Liabilities and Costs arising from the Release or
threatened

Page 63

 

Release of a Contaminant into the environment in violation of any Environmental Laws,
which Remedial Action or other Liabilities and Costs would have a Material Adverse Effect on
Borrower and/or the REIT; (iii) neither the REIT nor Borrower has filed any notice under applicable
Environmental Laws reporting a Release of a Contaminant into the environment in violation of any
Environmental Laws, except as the same may have been heretofore remedied or would not have a
Material Adverse Effect; (iv) there is not now on or in any Unencumbered Assets (except in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable Environmental Laws): (A) any underground
storage tanks, (B) any asbestos-containing material, or (C) any polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s)
used in hydraulic oils, electrical transformers or other equipment owned by such Person; and (v)
neither the REIT nor Borrower has received any notice or claim to the effect that it is or may be
liable to any Person as a result of the Release or threatened Release of a Contaminant into the
environment which would have a Material Adverse Effect on Borrower or the REIT.

disbursements of the Advances and the payment and accrual of all fees then payable.

          (u) Title to Assets. Borrower has good, indefeasible and merchantable title to, or a
valid leasehold interest in, all Properties, including, without limitation, all Unencumbered
Assets, owned or leased by it.

          (v) Management Agreements. Except as disclosed on Schedule 4.1(v) or as
otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents, Borrower is not a party or subject to any management
or “ground” leasing agreement with respect to any of the Properties included within the
Unencumbered Pool.

REIT, (B) materially and adversely affect the ability of any party to any of the Loan

contested in good faith by the REIT.

          (i) Material Adverse Agreements. The REIT is not a party to or subject to any

minus (iii) the aggregate cost to the REIT of repurchasing its publicly traded common

Borrower is required to do so pursuant to the terms of Borrower’s limited partnership agreement.

     9.2. Rights and Remedies.

          (a) Acceleration; Etc. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in the
foregoing Section 9.1(g) or 9.1(h) with respect to the REIT or Borrower or any
other Consolidated Entity, the Commitment shall automatically and immediately terminate and the
unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued interest on the Advances and all of the other
Obligations, and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Liabilities for deposit into the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account, shall automatically become immediately due and payable, with all
additional interest, fees, costs and expenses from time to time accrued thereon and/or payable
hereunder, and without presentment, demand or protest or other requirements of any kind (including,
without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand
or accelerate or notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower, and
the obligations of the Lenders to make any Advances hereunder shall thereupon terminate; and upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, Administrative Agent
shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of Requisite Lenders, by written notice to
Borrower, (i) declare that the Commitment is terminated, whereupon the Commitment and the
obligation of the Lenders to make any Advance hereunder

Page 85

 

shall immediately terminate, and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal
amount of, any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances and
all of the other Obligations, and an amount equal to all Letter of Credit Liabilities for deposit
into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately
due and payable with all additional interest from time to time accrued thereon and without
presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including without limitation,
valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of
acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by Borrower. Without limiting
Administrative Agent’s authority hereunder, on or after the Maturity Date, Administrative Agent
shall, at the request, or may, with the consent, of Requisite Lenders exercise any or all rights
and remedies under the Loan Documents or applicable law or in equity.

          (b) Access to Information. If an Event of Default then exists, Administrative Agent
shall have, in addition to and not by way of a limitation on any other rights and remedies
contained in this Agreement or in the other Loan Documents, the right within forty-eight (48) hours
after notice to Borrower to obtain access to Borrower’s and the REIT’s records (including
computerized information, files and supporting software) relating to the Unencumbered Assets, and
its accounting information relating to the Unencumbered Assets, and to use all of the foregoing and
the information contained therein in any manner Administrative Agent deems appropriate which is
related to the collection of the Obligations. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes any
accountant or management agent employed by Borrower to deliver such items and information to
Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Loan Documents,
upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent
shall be entitled to request and receive, by or through Borrower or appropriate legal process, any
and all information concerning operations, business affairs and financial condition of the REIT,
Borrower, or any Property of either of them, which is reasonably available to or obtainable by
Borrower. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender copies of any information which it
obtains pursuant to this Section 9.2(b).

          (c) Waiver of Demand. Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment are
hereby waived by Borrower. Borrower also waives, to the extent permitted by law, the benefit of
all valuation, appraisal and exemption laws.

          (d) Waivers, Amendments and Remedies. No delay or omission of Administrative Agent or
the Lenders to exercise any right under any Loan Document shall impair such right or be construed
to be a waiver of any Event of Default or an acquiescence therein, and any single or partial
exercise of any such right shall not preclude other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, and no waiver, amendment or other variation of the terms, conditions or provisions
of the Loan Documents whatsoever shall be valid unless in a writing signed by Administrative Agent
after obtaining written approval thereof or the signature thereon of those Lenders required to
approve such waiver, amendment or other variation, and then only to the extent in such writing
specifically set forth. All remedies contained in the Loan Documents or by law afforded shall be
cumulative and all shall be available to Administrative Agent and the Lenders until the Obligations
have been paid in full, the Commitment has expired or terminated and this Agreement has been
terminated.

Page 86

 

     9.3. Rescission. If, at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Advances,
Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Advances
which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the
extent permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all
Events of Default and Unmatured Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of and
accrued interest on the Advances due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be
remedied or waived pursuant to Section 11.4, then by written notice to Borrower, the
Requisite Lenders may elect, in their sole discretion, to rescind and annul the acceleration and
its consequences; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Unmatured
Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding
sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of
the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit Borrower and do not give Borrower the right
to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set
forth herein are met. Borrower shall have no right to enforce this Section 9.3, or to make
any claim hereunder, directly, or as a third party beneficiary, or otherwise.

     9.4. Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

          (a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit
Liabilities, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its
right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account established pursuant to
the requirements of Section 2.10, and the balances from time to time in the Letter of
Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below),
and Borrower shall execute such documents and instruments as requested by Administrative Agent to
evidence and/or permit Administrative Agent to perfect such security interest. The balances from
time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter
of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Administrative Agent as provided herein. Anything in
this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral
Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section and in Section
2.10.

          (b) So long as no Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default exists, the Administrative
Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower, against
receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in
the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit
Liabilities at such time. When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full
and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the
Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the
balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.

          (c) In the event that the Letter of Credit Collateral Account is funded, the Borrower shall
pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such fees as the Administrative Agent normally
charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the
Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

of Sections 10.5 and 10.7, Administrative Agent shall administer the Advances in
the same manner as it administers its own loans. Promptly following the effectiveness of this
Agreement, Administrative Agent shall send to each Lender its originally executed Note and the executed
original, to the extent the same are available in sufficient numbers, of each other Loan Document
other than the Notes in favor of the other Lenders and filed or recorded security documents or
instruments, with the latter to be held and retained by Administrative Agent for the benefit of all
the Lenders. Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to impose upon Administrative
Agent any obligation in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents except as
expressly set forth herein or therein. Each Lender shall make its own independent investigation of
the financial condition and affairs of the REIT and Borrower in connection with the making and the
continuance of the Advances hereunder and shall make its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
the REIT and Borrower, and, except as specifically provided herein, Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender
with any credit or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the Closing Date or at any time or times thereafter.

     10.3. Disbursements of Advances.

          (a) Promptly, but in any event not later than 5:00 P.M. (San Francisco time) on the same
Business Day on which Administrative Agent receives a Notice of Borrowing, Administrative Agent
shall send a copy thereof by facsimile to each other Lender and shall otherwise notify each Lender
of the proposed Advance and the Funding Date. Each Lender shall make available to Administrative
Agent (or the funding bank or entity designated by Administrative Agent), the amount of such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance in immediately available funds not later than the times
designated in Section 10.3(b). Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender not later than the close of business (San Francisco time) on the Business Day immediately
preceding the Funding Date in respect of any Advance that such Lender does not intend to make
available to Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender shall make such amount available to Administrative Agent. If any
Lender does not notify Administrative Agent of its intention not to make available its Pro Rata
Share of such Advance as described above, but does not for any reason make available to
Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, such Lender shall pay to
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest thereon at the Federal
Funds Rate. In any case where a Lender does not for any reason make available to Administrative
Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion,
may, but shall not be obligated to, fund to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance.
If Administrative Agent funds to Borrower such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance and if such
Lender subsequently pays to Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid
shall constitute such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such Advance. Nothing in this Section
10.3(a) shall alter the respective rights and obligations of the parties hereunder in respect
of a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Pro Rata Advance.

          (b) Requests by Administrative Agent for funding by the Lenders of Advances will be made by
telecopy. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Advance available to Administrative Agent in
Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such bank and account,
in El Segundo, California as Administrative Agent may designate, not later than 9:00 A.M. (San
Francisco time) on the Funding Date designated in the Notice of Borrowing with respect to such
Advance, but in no event earlier than two (2) Business Days following such Lender’s receipt of the
applicable Notice of Borrowing.

          (c) Swing Line Advances.

               (i) With respect to Swing Line Advances, if,

          (A) as of 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on the fourth (4th) Business Day after
the Swing Line Lender has funded any Swing Line Advance (the date such Swing Line Advance was
funded, the “Swing Line Funding Date”), Borrower has neither (1) repaid such Swing Line
Advance in full, nor (2) notified the Swing Line Lender in writing that Borrower intends to repay
such Swing Line Advance in full on the next Business Day, nor (3) timely delivered a Notice of
Borrowing requesting a proposed Funding Date, no later than the fifth (5th) Business Day
after such Swing Line Funding Date, with respect to an Advance in a principal amount sufficient to
repay such Swing Line Advance in full; or

Page 89

 

          (B) as of 11:00 A.M. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after such Swing Line Funding
Date, (1) Borrower has not repaid such Swing Line Advance in full, or (2) the conditions precedent
to any requested Advance the proceeds of which were to have been used (in whole or in part) to
repay such Swing Line Advance have not been satisfied; or

          (C) at any time prior to the repayment of any Swing Line Advance, an Event of Default shall
have occurred or the Advances shall be accelerated, or the Maturity Date shall occur, for any
reason whatsoever; then

               the Swing Line Lender shall promptly (or, if an Event of Default has occurred but the
Advances have not been accelerated and the Maturity Date has not occurred, may) notify each
Lender by telephone (confirmed promptly by telex, facsimile transmission or cable), telex,
facsimile transmission, or cable of the amount of such Swing Line Advance; and each Lender
shall (1) in a case described in clause (A) above, before 10:00 A.M. (San Francisco time) on
the next Business Day, or (2) in a case described in clause (B) or clause (C) above, before
12:00 noon (San Francisco time) on the date of such notice, pay to the Swing Line Lender, to
such bank and account in El Segundo, California (or to such bank and account in such other
place) as the Swing Line Lender may designate, in immediately available funds, such Lender’s
Pro Rata Share of the principal amount of such Swing Line Advance.

               (ii) Upon funding in accordance with clause (i) above, each Lender shall be deemed to
have acquired from the Swing Line Lender (and the Swing Line Lender shall be deemed to have
assigned to each such Lender) a percentage interest in such Swing Line Advance equal to such
Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and, for purposes of determining the availability of Swing Line
Advances or Advances, such Swing Line Advance shall be deemed an Advance (and no longer a
Swing Line Advance); provided that the obligations of the Lenders under this
Section 10.3(c) shall not be subject to the
notice or amount requirements, or to satisfaction of conditions precedent, otherwise
applicable to the making of Advances.

               (iii) Each Lender’s obligation to fund, and to purchase from the Swing Line Lender, its
Pro Rata Share of a Swing Line Advance pursuant to this Section 10.3(c) shall be
absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances (including, without limitation,
irrespective of any intervening bankruptcy of Borrower or acceleration of the Advances).

               (iv) It is not the parties’ intent that the obligations of the Lenders under this
Section 10.3(c) constitute guaranties or obligations of suretyship. If and to the
extent, however, that the obligations of any Lender under this Section 10.3(c) are
determined to be those of a guarantor or surety, such Lender, with full knowledge of the
consequences thereof, hereby expressly waives the benefit of each and every right or defense
of a guarantor or surety the effect of which would relieve such Lender of all or any portion
of its obligations under this Section 10.3(c).

               (v) In the event that any Lender fails to pay to the Swing Line Lender when due any
amount it is required to fund under this Section 10.3(c), such Lender and

Page 90

 

Borrower severally agree to pay to the Swing Line Lender , on demand, the amount such Lender has
failed to so pay, together with interest thereon for each day from the date on which such
payment was due until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (A) in
the case of Borrower, the Base Rate, or (B) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds
Rate. Any such repayment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any rights it may have
against the Lender that has failed to pay when due any such amount.

          (d) Nothing in this Section 10.3 shall be deemed to relieve any Lender of its
obligation (subject only to Section 2.1(b)(iii) in respect of the initial funding of Swing
Line Advances) hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of any Advance on the applicable Funding Date,
nor shall any Lender be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to perform its obligations
to make any Advance hereunder, and the Pro Rata Share of any Lender shall not be increased or
decreased as a result of the failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make an
Advance.

     10.4. Distribution and Apportionment of Payments.

          (a) Subject to Section 10.4(b), payments actually received by Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders shall be paid to them promptly after receipt thereof by Administrative
Agent, but in any event within one (1) Business Day, provided that Administrative Agent
shall pay to the Lenders interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate, from the Business Day
following receipt of such funds by Administrative Agent until such funds are paid in immediately
available funds to the Lenders. Subject to Section 10.4(b) all payments of principal and
interest in respect of outstanding Advances, all payments of the fees described in this Agreement,
and all payments in respect of any other Obligations shall be allocated among such Lenders as are
entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided
herein. Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute, but in any event
within one (1) Business Day after it receives the same, to each Lender at its primary address
set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or on the Assignment and Assumption, or at such
other address as a Lender may request in writing, such funds as it may be entitled to receive;
provided that Administrative Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or
determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may
suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from
Requisite Lenders or all the Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in
the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. The
order of priority herein is set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Lenders
as among themselves and may at any time or from time to time be changed by the Lenders as they may
elect, in writing in accordance with Section 11.4, without necessity of notice to or
consent of or approval by Borrower or any other Person. All payments or other sums received by
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders (including, without limitation, principal and
interest payments) shall not constitute property or assets of the Administrative Agent and shall be
held by Administrative Agent, solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent for itself and the
other Lenders, subject to the Loan Documents.

          (b) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting
Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of any Advance which was previously a Non-

Page 91

 

Pro Rata Advance, or all the other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the
principal and interest due in respect of such Non-Pro Rata Advance, all of the Obligations owing to
such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the
following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of
all Non-Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such
principal, interest and fees being referred to as “Senior Loans”). All amounts paid by
Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant
to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Administrative Agent to the other Lenders in accordance
with their respective Pro Rata Shares (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting
Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This
provision governs only the relationship among Administrative Agent, each Defaulting Lender and the
other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of Borrower to repay all Advances in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, nor create an Event of Default if payments are not
made to a Defaulting Lender. The provisions of this Section shall apply and be effective
regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i)
any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its
desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender’s right to vote
on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of the Requisite Lenders or all the
Lenders. No Facility Fee shall accrue in favor of, or be payable to, such Defaulting Lender from
the date of any failure to fund Advances or reimburse Administrative Agent for any Liabilities and
Costs as herein provided until such failure has been cured, and Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to (A) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any
related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (B)
bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall
indemnify, defend and hold Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and
against any and all Liabilities and Costs, plus interest thereon at the Default Rate, which they
may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender’s failure or
refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement.

     10.5. Rights, Exculpation, Etc. Neither Administrative Agent, any Affiliate of
Administrative Agent, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys
or consultants, shall be liable to any Lender for any action taken or omitted by them under this
Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, except
that Administrative Agent shall be liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements,
representations or warranties herein or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Agreement, or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby; or for the financial
condition of the REIT, Borrower or any of their Affiliates. Administrative Agent shall not be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or the financial
condition of the REIT, Borrower or any of their Affiliates, or the existence or possible existence
of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default.

Page 92

 

     10.6. Reliance. Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written
notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents, telecopies or any telephone message
believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the
proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including
counsel for Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.

     10.7. Indemnification. To the extent that Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse, within ten (10) Business Days after notice
from Administrative Agent, and indemnify and defend Administrative Agent from and against any and
all Liabilities and Costs which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way
relating to or arising out of its role as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, or any of the
other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under this Agreement,
or any of the other Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender’s Pro Rata Share; provided
that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Liabilities and Costs resulting from
Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. The obligations of the Lenders
under this Section 10.7 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement. In the event that after payment and distribution of any amount by
Administrative Agent to the Lenders, any Lender or third party, including Borrower, any creditor of
Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from Administrative Agent any amount found to have
been wrongfully paid to Administrative Agent or disbursed by Administrative Agent to the Lenders,
then the Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares, shall reimburse Administrative
Agent for all such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative
Agent shall not be obligated to advance Liabilities and Costs and may require the deposit by
each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any material Liabilities and Costs reasonably anticipated by
Administrative Agent before they are incurred, made or payable.

     10.8. Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment and the Advances made by it, Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same
rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the
extent set forth herein for any other Lender. Administrative Agent and any Lender and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust or other business with the REIT, Borrower or any of their respective Affiliates as if it were
not acting as Administrative Agent or a Lender pursuant hereto.

     10.9. Successor Administrative Agent; Resignation of Administrative Agent; Removal of
Administrative Agent.

          (a) Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties
hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to the
Lenders and Borrower, and shall automatically cease to be Administrative Agent hereunder in the
event a petition in bankruptcy shall be filed by or against Administrative Agent or the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other Governmental Authority shall assume control of
Administrative Agent or Administrative Agent’s interests under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Further, the Requisite Lenders (other than Administrative Agent) may remove
Administrative Agent at any time based upon Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written

Page 93

 

notice to Administrative Agent, Borrower and all other Lenders. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the
acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to subsection (b) or (c)
below.

          (b) Upon any such notice of resignation by or removal of Administrative Agent, the Requisite
Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall be subject to
Borrower’s consent (other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default), which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Any successor Administrative Agent
must be a Lender (i) the senior debt obligations of which (or such Lender’s parent’s senior
unsecured debt obligations) are rated not less than Baa-2 by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or a
comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to the Requisite Lenders and (ii) which has total
assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Such successor Administrative Agent
shall separately confirm in writing with Borrower the fee to be paid to such Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 2.5(c).

          (c) If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been so appointed within said thirty
(30) Business Day period, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, with the consent of
Borrower (other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default)(which
may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent
who shall meet the requirements described in subsection (b) above and who shall serve as
Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders, with
the consent of Borrower (other than upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default), appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.

          (d) Each successor Administrative Agent appointed pursuant to this Section 10.9 shall
concurrently assume the rights and obligations of the Swing Line Lender under this Agreement
(including the Swing Line Lender’s commitment to fund Swing Line Advances and its interest in
outstanding advances under the Swing Line) and the rights and obligations of Administrative Agent
with respect to the Letters of Credit. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative
Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall
thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent and Swing Line Lender, and the retiring Administrative Agent and
Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Administrative
Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of Section 11.20 to the contrary, the commitment
of the Swing Line Lender to fund Swing Line Advances and the Swing Line Lender’s interest in
outstanding Swing Line Advances may not be assigned to any Person other than a Person who
concurrently becomes both a successor Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.9
and the Swing Line Lender.

     10.10. Consent and Approvals.

          (a) In addition to any other term or provision of this Agreement which requires the consent or
approval of, or other action by, the Requisite Lenders, each consent, approval, amendment,
modification or waiver specifically enumerated in this Section 10.10(a) shall require the
consent of the Requisite Lenders:

Page 94

 

               (i) Approval of any amendment of organizational documents (to the extent required by
Section 7.2);

               (ii) Acceleration following an Event of Default (Section 9.2(a)) or rescission
of such acceleration (Section 9.3);

               (iii) Approval of the exercise of rights and remedies under the Loan Documents
following an Event of Default (Section 9.2(a));

               (iv) Approval of a change in the method of calculation of any financial covenants,
standards or terms as a result of a change in GAAP (Section 11.3); and

               (v) Except as referred to in subsection (b) below, approval of any amendment,
modification or termination of this Agreement, or waiver of any provision herein.

          (b) Each consent, approval, amendment, modification or waiver specifically enumerated in
Section 11.4 shall require the consent of all the Lenders.

          (c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in subsection (a)
above, Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from Requisite Lenders with
respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan
Documents, Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions
from Lenders and if such instructions are promptly requested, Administrative Agent shall be
absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be
under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any action or withholding
any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from
the Requisite Lenders. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action
whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining
from acting under this Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the
instructions of the Requisite Lenders or, where applicable, all the Lenders. Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Requisite Lenders have instructed
Administrative Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto.

          (d) Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Administrative Agent at the direction or with
the consent of the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any
Loan Document, and the exercise by Administrative Agent at the direction or with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all the Lenders, except for
actions specifically requiring the approval of all the Lenders. All communications from
Administrative Agent to the Lenders requesting Lenders’ determination, consent, approval or
disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, (ii) shall be
accompanied by a description of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval,
consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or thing may be
inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if
reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written
materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Administrative

Page 95

 

Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative Agent’s
recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly,
but in any event within ten (10) Business Days or such other applicable response period as
expressly set forth in this Agreement (the “Lender Reply Period”). Unless a Lender shall
give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination
of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection)
within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to
such recommendation or determination and Borrower and each other Lender may rely on such approval
as if given. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of the Requisite Lenders or all the
Lenders, Administrative Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or
consent to such recommendation or determination to all the Lenders and upon receiving the required
approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination recommended to the Lenders
by Administrative Agent or such other course of action recommended by the Requisite Lenders, and
each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of
action.

     10.11. Certain Agency Provisions Relating to Enforcement. Should Administrative Agent
(i) employ counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be
filed) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) commence any proceeding or in any way
seek to enforce its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, each Lender, upon demand therefor
from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of the reasonable costs
and/or expenses of any such advice
or other representation or enforcement, including, but not limited to, court costs, title company
charges, filing and recording fees, appraisers’ fees and fees and expenses of attorneys to the
extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrower, provided that Administrative Agent shall not
be entitled to reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
resolution of disputes between Administrative Agent and other Lenders unless Administrative Agent
shall be the prevailing party in any such dispute. Any loss of principal and/or interest resulting
from any Event of Default shall be shared by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro
Rata Shares. It is understood and agreed that in the event Administrative Agent determines it is
necessary to engage counsel for the Lenders from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
said counsel shall be selected by Administrative Agent.

     10.12. Ratable Sharing. Subject to Sections 10.3 and 10.4 the Lenders
agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applied to
the payment of the Obligations, equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such
amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether
received by voluntary payment, by counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all
of the Obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right
of counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the
Obligations held by it which is greater than its Pro Rata Share of the payments on account of the
Obligations, the one receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an
undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the
receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with
respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares;
provided, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the

Page 96

 

purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for
such participations shall be returned to that party to the extent necessary to adjust for such
recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay
interest in connection with such recovery. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 10.12 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment with respect to such participation as fully as
if such Lender were the direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. No Lender
shall exercise any setoff, banker’s lien or other similar right in respect to any Obligations
without the prior written approval by Administrative Agent.

     10.13. Delivery of Documents. Administrative Agent shall, as soon as reasonably
practicable, distribute to each Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate
counterpart signature page hereof, or at such other address as a Lender may request in writing, (i)
copies of all documents to which such Lender is a party or of which such Lender is a beneficiary,
(ii) all documents of which Administrative Agent receives copies from Borrower pursuant to
Sections 5.1 and 11.6, (iii) all other documents or information which
Administrative Agent is required to send to the Lenders pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
(iv) all other information or documents received by Administrative Agent at the request of any
Lender, and (v) all notices received by Administrative
Agent pursuant to Section 5.2. In addition, within fifteen (15) Business Days after
receipt of a request in writing from a Lender for written information or documents provided by or
prepared by Borrower, the REIT or any Consolidated Entity, Administrative Agent shall deliver such
written information or documents to such requesting Lender if Administrative Agent has possession
of such written information or documents in its capacity as Administrative Agent or as a Lender.

     10.14. Notice of Events of Default. Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default (other
than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Advances) unless Administrative Agent has
received notice in writing from a Lender or Borrower describing such event or condition and
expressly stating that such notice is a notice of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of
Default. Should Administrative Agent receive such notice of the occurrence of an Unmatured Event
of Default or Event of Default, or should Administrative Agent send Borrower a notice of Unmatured
Event of Default or Event of Default, Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to
each Lender. If any individual employed by any Lender who is responsible for managing, or
otherwise involved in, the relationship between such Lender and Borrower in connection with this
Agreement or such Lender and Administrative Agent in connection with this Agreement, has or
acquires actual knowledge of an Unmatured Event of Default or Event of Default, such Lender shall
promptly give written notice thereof to Administrative Agent.

     10.15. Documentation and Syndication Agents. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein which may be construed to the contrary, the Documentation Agents and Syndication Agents
shall not exercise any of the rights or have any of the responsibilities of the Administrative
Agent hereunder, or any other rights or responsibilities other than their respective rights and
responsibilities as Lenders hereunder.

MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1. Expenses.

          (a) Generally. Borrower agrees to pay, or reimburse Administrative Agent for, within
seven (7) days after receipt of written demand, all of Administrative Agent’s external audit,
legal, appraisal, valuation and investigation expenses and for all other reasonable costs and
expenses of every type and nature (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and charges
of outside appraisers and reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Administrative Agent’s
internal appraisers, environmental advisors or legal counsel) incurred by Administrative Agent at
any time (whether prior to, on or after the date of this Agreement) in connection with (i) its own
audit and investigation of Borrower and the REIT; (ii) the negotiation, preparation and execution
of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any
of the conditions set forth in Article 3), and the other Loan Documents and the making of
the Advances; (iii) review and investigation of Real Property which is proposed for inclusion
within the Unencumbered Pool and Unencumbered Assets within the Unencumbered Pool; (iv)
administration of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the Advances, including, without
limitation, consultation with attorneys in connection therewith; and (v) the protection, collection
or enforcement of any of the Obligations.

          (b) After Event of Default. Borrower further agrees to pay, or reimburse
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements of one law firm
incurred by Administrative Agent or the Lenders after the occurrence and during the continuance of
an Event of Default (i) in enforcing any Obligation or exercising or enforcing any other right or
remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or
restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a
“work-out” or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing, defending or
intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings
in any legal proceeding relating to Borrower or the REIT and related to or arising out of the
transactions contemplated hereby; or (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit
or proceeding (whether in bankruptcy or otherwise).

     11.2. Indemnity. Borrower further agrees to defend, protect, indemnify and hold
harmless Administrative Agent, each and all of the Lenders, each of their respective Affiliates and
each of the respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys and consultants
(including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted
satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article 3) of each of the foregoing
(collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Liabilities and Costs
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees (whether based on any federal or
state laws or other statutory regulations, including, without limitation, securities and commercial
laws and regulations, under common law or in equity, and based upon contract or otherwise,
including any liability and costs arising as a result of a “prohibited transaction” under ERISA to
the extent arising from or in connection with the past, present or future operations of the REIT or
Borrower or their respective predecessors in interest) in any manner relating to or arising out of
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant

Page 98

 

thereto, the making of and participation in the Advances and the management of the Advances, or the
use or intended use of the proceeds of the Advances (collectively, the “Indemnified
Matters”); provided, however, that Borrower shall have no obligation to an
Indemnitee hereunder with respect to (a) matters for which such Indemnitee has been compensated
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, and (b) Indemnified Matters to the extent caused by or
resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of that Indemnitee, as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold
harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any
law or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay
and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters
incurred by the Indemnitees.

     11.3. Change in Accounting Principles and “Funds from Operations” Definition. Except
as otherwise provided herein, if any changes in accounting principles from those used in the
preparation of the most recent financial statements delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to
the terms hereof are hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and
opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by the REIT
or Borrower with the agreement of its Accountants and such changes result in a change in the method
of calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms found herein, the parties
hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably
reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating the financial
condition of the REIT and the Consolidated Entities shall be the same after such changes as if such
changes had not been made; provided, however, that no change in GAAP that would
affect the method of calculation of any of the financial covenants, standards or terms shall be
given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to
the Requisite Lenders, to so reflect such change in accounting principles. The definition of
“Funds from Operations” set forth in Article 1 is based upon the definition of “Funds From
Operations” promulgated by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and effective
as of April 5, 2002 (the “NAREIT Definition”). If the NAREIT Definition is modified after
the date of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations if any party so
requests in order to amend the definition of “Funds from Operations” set forth in this Agreement to
make it consistent with the modified NAREIT Definition; provided, however, that no
change in such definition of “Funds from Operations” shall be given effect until such definition is
amended, in a manner satisfactory to Requisite Lenders, to so reflect such modification in the
NAREIT Definition of “Funds From Operations”.

     11.4. Amendments and Waivers.

          (a) No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without
the written agreement of Requisite Lenders and Borrower (except for amendments to Section
10.4(a) which do not require the consent of Borrower), and (b) no termination or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event
be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders (after notice to all the
Lenders), which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold at their sole
discretion, except that

Page 99

 

          (A) the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall require the consent of Requisite
Lenders (which Requisite Lenders must include Wells Fargo):

               (i) changing any provision contained in Section 8.2, Section 8.5 or in
Section 8.9; or

               (ii) changing the definitions of “Total Liabilities,” “Gross Asset Value,”
“Unencumbered Asset Value,” “Unencumbered Pool,” or “Debt”, or the definition of any defined
term used in any of the foregoing definitions; or

               (iii) subject to clause (B)(ix) below, amending or otherwise modifying the Guaranty;
and

          (B) the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall require the consent of all the
Lenders:

               (i) increasing or reducing the Commitment and/or any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment, except as otherwise provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of
Section 2.8, Section 2.9 or Section 11.20;

               (ii) changing the principal amount or final maturity of the Advances or otherwise
changing the Maturity Date, except as otherwise provided in, and subject to the terms and
conditions of Section 2.1(d) or Section 2.8;

               (iii) reducing the interest rates applicable to the Advances;

               (iv) reducing the rates on which fees payable pursuant hereto are determined;

               (v) forgiving or delaying any amount payable or receivable under Article 2;

               (vi) changing the definition of “Requisite Lenders” or “Pro Rata Shares”;

               (vii) changing any provision contained in this Section 11.4;

               (viii) releasing any obligor under any Loan Document, unless such release is otherwise
required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement;

               (ix) extending the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Maturity Date;

               (x) materially amending or otherwise materially modifying the Guaranty; or

               (xi) consenting to assignment by Borrower of all of its duties and Obligations
hereunder pursuant to Section 11.14.

Page 100

 

     No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Article 10 or
any other provision referring to Administrative Agent shall be effective without the written
concurrence of Administrative Agent, but only if such amendment, modification, termination or
waiver alters the obligations or rights of Administrative Agent. Any waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No
notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other further notice or
demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or
consent effected in accordance with this Section 11.4 shall be binding on each assignee,
transferee or recipient of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the
Commitment under this Agreement or the Advances at the time outstanding. Borrower shall be
entitled to rely on any amendment or waiver executed by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders provided that Administrative Agent certifies to Borrower that Administrative Agent obtained
the approvals or consents required under this Agreement of the Requisite Lender or all the Lenders,
as the case may be.

          (b) In connection with (i) any proposed amendment, modification or waiver for which the
unanimous consent of the Lenders is required, and such consents have been obtained from Lenders
whose Pro Rata Shares, in the aggregate, are at least eighty-five percent (85%), or (ii) any
payments that are requested by a Lender (an “Increased Cost Lender”) pursuant to
Section 2.4(i), the Borrower may identify an assignee to which a non-consenting Lender or
Increased Cost Lender shall assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and the Advances owing to it) and the
other Loan Documents at par value pursuant to an Assignment and Assumption substantially in the
form attached as Exhibit A, subject to the consent of the Administrative Agent (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

     11.5. Independence of Covenants. All covenants hereunder shall be given independent
effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the
fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of,
another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Unmatured Event of
Default if such action is taken or condition exists, and if a particular action or condition is
expressly permitted under any covenant, unless expressly limited to such covenant, the fact that it
would not be permitted under the general provisions of another covenant shall not constitute an
Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

     11.6. Notices and Delivery. Except as set forth in Section 2.12 or as
otherwise specifically provided herein, any consent, notice or other communication herein required
or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied or sent by
courier service or United States mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in
person or by courier service, upon receipt of a telecopy (or on the next Business Day if such
telecopy is received on a non-Business Day or after 5:00 P.M. on a Business Day) or four (4)
Business Days after deposit in the United States mail (registered or certified, with postage
prepaid and properly addressed). Notices to Administrative Agent pursuant to Article 2
shall not be effective until received by Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the
addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this
Section 11.6) shall be as set forth below each party’s name on the signature pages hereof,
or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice
to all of the other

Page 101

 

parties. All deliveries to be made to Administrative Agent for distribution to
the Lenders shall be made to Administrative Agent at the address specified for notice on the
signature page hereto and in addition, a sufficient number of copies of each such delivery shall be
delivered to Administrative Agent for delivery to each Lender at the address specified for
deliveries on the signature page hereto or such other address as may be designated by
Administrative Agent in a written notice.

     11.7. Survival of Warranties, Indemnities and Agreements. All agreements,
representations, warranties and indemnities made or given herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the
Advances hereunder and such indemnities shall survive termination hereof.

     11.8. Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver: Remedies Cumulative. No failure or delay on
the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege
under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a
waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such
power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power
or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not
exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.

     11.9. Payments Set Aside. To the extent that Borrower makes a payment or payments to
Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or Administrative Agent or the Lenders exercise their rights
of setoff, and such payment or payments or payments or the proceeds of such setoff or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligation or
part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all rights and remedies therefor, shall be
revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff
had not occurred.

     11.10. Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired
thereby, provided, however, that if the rates of interest or any other amount payable
hereunder, or the collectability thereof, are declared to be or become invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the Lenders’ obligations to make Advances shall not be enforceable.

     11.11. Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for
convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other
purpose or be given any substantive effect.

Page 102

 

     11.12. Governing Law; Waiver. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND SHALL BE
CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.

     11.13. Limitation of Liability. To the extent permitted by applicable law and other
than with respect to gross negligence or willful misconduct, no claim may be made by Borrower, any
Lender or any other Person against Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them, for any special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and Borrower and each Lender
hereby waive, release and agree not to sue upon any claim for any such damages, whether or not
accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

     11.14. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and permitted assigns of Administrative Agent and
the Lenders. The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of any
permitted assignee or transferee of the Advances and the Pro Rata Shares of the Commitment of the
Lenders under this Agreement, and in the event of such transfer or assignment, the rights and
privileges herein conferred upon Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall automatically extend to
and be vested in such transferee or assignee, all subject to the terms and conditions hereof.
Borrower’s and the REIT’s rights and interests hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and
Borrower’s and the REIT’s duties and Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
shall not be assigned or otherwise transferred without the consent of all the Lenders.

     11.15. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process; Waiver of Jury Trial. ALL
JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT MAY BE, AND ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT BY BORROWER WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT SHALL BE, BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION
HAVING SITUS WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE FEDERAL COURT DISTRICT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF
CALIFORNIA, AND BY EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER ACCEPTS, FOR ITSELF AND IN
CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE JURISDICTION OF THE AFORESAID
COURTS, AND IRREVOCABLY AGREES TO BE BOUND BY ANY FINAL JUDGMENT RENDERED THEREBY FROM WHICH NO
APPEAL HAS BEEN TAKEN OR IS AVAILABLE. BORROWER IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF
ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR
PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID,
TO ITS NOTICE ADDRESS SPECIFIED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF. BORROWER, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND
THE LENDERS IRREVOCABLY WAIVE (A) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT, AND (B) ANY OBJECTION (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY

Page 103

 

OBJECTION OF THE LAYING OF VENUE OR BASED ON THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS) WHICH IT MAY NOW
OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE BRINGING OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT
OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY JURISDICTION SET FORTH ABOVE. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE
RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION.

     11.16. Counterparts; Effectiveness; Inconsistencies. This Agreement and any
amendments, waivers, consents or supplements hereto may be executed in counterparts, each of which
when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which, taken together, shall
constitute but one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall become effective when (i)
Borrower, the initial Lenders and Administrative Agent have duly executed and delivered signature
pages of this Agreement to each other (delivery by Borrower to the Lenders and by any Lender to
Borrower and any other Lender being deemed to have been made by delivery to Administrative Agent)
and (ii) Administrative Agent has received all fees due under its separate agreement with Borrower.
Administrative Agent shall send written confirmation of the Closing Date to Borrower and each
other Lender promptly following the occurrence thereof. This Agreement and each of the other Loan
Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to
the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually and directly inconsistent
with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern.

     11.17. Performance of Obligations. Borrower agrees that Administrative Agent may, but
shall have no obligation to, make any payment or perform any act required of Borrower under any
Loan Document which Borrower has failed to make or do.

     11.18. Construction. The parties to this Agreement acknowledge that each party and
its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of construction to
the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed
in the interpretation of this Agreement or any amendments or exhibits hereto.

     11.19. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, taken together with all of the other Loan
Documents and all certificates and other documents delivered by Borrower to Administrative Agent,
embodies the entire agreement and supersede all prior agreements, written and oral, relating to the subject
matter hereof.

     11.20. Assignments and Participations.

          (a) After first obtaining the approval of Administrative Agent and Borrower (provided that the
approval of Borrower shall not be required upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, each Lender may
assign to one or more banks or financial institutions, all or a portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment and the Advances owing to it) and the other Loan Documents;
provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a

Page 104

 

varying, percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and such percentage of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations shall be
the same percentage with respect to both such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and
Advances, (ii) the aggregate amount of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of the assigning Lender
being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and
Assumption with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000), (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent, for its approval and acceptance, an Assignment and Assumption, (iv)
Administrative Agent shall receive from the assignor a processing fee of Three Thousand Dollars
($3,000) and (v) if such assignment is less than all of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment of the
assigning Lender, after giving effect to such assignment, the aggregate amount of the Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment of the assigning Lender shall in no event be less than Fifteen Million
Dollars ($15,000,000). Without restricting the right of Borrower or Administrative Agent to
reasonably object to any bank or financial institution becoming an assignee of an interest of a
Lender hereunder, each proposed assignee must be an existing Lender or a bank or financial
institution which (A) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a subsidiary, such bank’s parent has)
a rating of its senior unsecured debt obligations of not less than Baa-2 by Moody’s Investors
Service, Inc. or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to Administrative Agent and (B)
has total assets in excess of Ten Billion Dollars ($10,000,000,000). Unless Administrative Agent
or Borrower gives written notice to the assigning Lender that it objects to the proposed assignment
that otherwise satisfies the requirements of this Section 11.20(a) (together with a written
explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days following receipt
of the assigning Lender’s written request for approval of the proposed assignment, Administrative
Agent or Borrower, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have approved such assignment. Upon such
execution, delivery, approval and acceptance, and upon the effective date specified in the
applicable Assignment and Assumption, (X) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to
the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder, and (Y) the
assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been
assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Assumption, relinquish its rights and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement.

          (b) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Assumption, the assigning Lender thereunder
and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the
other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and
Assumption, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility
with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability,
genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of
the REIT or Borrower or the performance or observance by the REIT or Borrower of any of their
respective obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished
pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Article 4 or delivered
pursuant to Article 5 to the date of such assignment and such other Loan Documents and
other

Page 105

 

documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Assumption; (iv) such assignee will, independently and
without reliance upon Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints
and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as Administrative Agent on its behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their
terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender.

          (c) Administrative Agent shall maintain, at its address referred to on the counterpart
signature pages hereof, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to and accepted by it
and shall record in the Loan Account the names and addresses of each Lender and the Pro Rata Share
of the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, such Lender from time to time.
Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the
Loan Account as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.

          (d) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an
assignee approved by Administrative Agent and Borrower as provided in Section 11.20(a),
Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Assumption has been properly completed and is in
substantially the form of Exhibit A, (i) accept such Assignment and Assumption, (ii) record
the information contained therein in the Loan Account, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to
Borrower. Upon request, Borrower will execute and deliver to Administrative Agent an appropriate
replacement promissory note or replacement promissory notes in favor of each assignee (and
assignor, if such assignor is retaining a portion of its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and
Advances) reflecting such assignee’s (and assignor’s) Pro Rata Share of the Commitment. Upon
execution and delivery of such replacement promissory note(s) the original promissory note or notes
evidencing all or a portion of the Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and Advances being assigned
shall be canceled and returned to Borrower.

          (e) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or
a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of any
other party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment and the Advances owing to it) and the other Loan Documents;
provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, its obligation to fund its Pro Rata Share of the Commitment to
Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the
other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or
other financial institutions shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose, (iv) Borrower,
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such
Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and with regard
to any and all payments to be made under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be
expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment as it then
exists and shall not restrict an increase in the Commitment, or in the granting Lender’s Pro Rata
Share of the Commitment, so

Page 106

 

long as the amount of the participation interest is not affected
thereby and (vi) the consent of the holder of such participation interest shall not be required for
amendments or waivers of provisions of the Loan Documents and the holder of any such participation
shall not be entitled to voting rights under their participation agreement except for voting rights
with respect to (A) extensions of the Maturity Date beyond the extension option term; and (B)
decreases in the interest rates or fees described in this Agreement.

          (f) Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of
participations herein.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and without the need to comply
with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Agreement, including Section
11.20, any Lender may at any time and from time to time pledge and assign all or any portion of
its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that
no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations thereunder.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, any Lender may assign all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to another branch or Affiliate of
such Lender without first obtaining the approval of Administrative Agent and Borrower,
provided that (i) at the time of such assignment such Lender is not a Defaulting Lender,
(ii) such Lender gives Administrative Agent and Borrower at least fifteen (15) days’ prior written
notice of any such assignment, (iii) the parties to each such assignment execute and deliver to
Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, and (iv) Administrative Agent receives from
assignor a processing fee of Three Thousand Dollars ($3,000).

          (i) No Lender shall be permitted to assign or sell all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement to Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower.

          (j) The dissemination or disclosure by any Lender to any prospective assignee or participant
of any confidential information obtained by Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to this
Agreement or in connection with the Advances is subject to the terms of Section 5.3.

          (k) Wells Fargo agrees that, so long as Well Fargo is the Administrative Agent under this
Agreement, it will not assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
if, after giving effect to such assignment or sale, Wells Fargo’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment
would be less than that of the Lender with the next largest Pro Rata Share of the Commitment,
provided, however, that in no event shall Wells Fargo be required to increase its
Pro Rata Share above that which exists on the Closing Date.

     11.21. Tax Shelter Regulations. Neither Borrower, any guarantor, any non-borrower
trustor, nor any subsidiary of any of the foregoing intends to treat or has treated the Loan or
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as being a “reportable
transaction” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4). If Borrower or any
other party to the Loan determines to take, or has otherwise taken, any action inconsistent with
such intention, Borrower will promptly notify the Lenders thereof. If the

Page 107

 

Borrower so notifies the Lenders, Borrower acknowledges that Lenders may treat the Loan as part of a transaction that is
subject to Treasury Regulation Section 301.6112-1, and such Lenders will maintain the lists and
other records, including the identity of the applicable party to the Loan as required by such
Treasury Regulation.

EXHIBIT A

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT

     THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of
________, 200___, between ________(“Assignor”) and
________(“Assignee”).

RECITALS:

               A. Assignor is a Lender under that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit
Agreement dated as of July ___, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”) entered into among Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited
partnership (“Borrower”), the Lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National
Association, as Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas,
Wachovia Bank, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and PNC Bank, National
Association, as Documentation Agent. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement without definition
have the same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

               B. Assignor desires to assign to Assignee, and Assignee desires to accept and assume, [a
portion of] the rights and obligations of Assignor under the Credit Agreement.

               NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1. Assignment.

               (a) Effective on the Assignment Effective Date (as defined in Section 3 below),
Assignor hereby assigns to Assignee the Assigned Share (as defined below) of all of Assignor’s
rights, title, interest and obligations under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents,
including without limitation those relating to Assignor’s Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and
Advances. The Assigned Share of all such rights, title, interest and obligations is referred to
collectively as the “Assigned Rights and Obligations”.

               (b) The “Assigned Share” means (a) a $________portion of the Commitment on the
Assignment Effective Date, and (b) the aggregate amount of all Advances outstanding under the
Credit Agreement on the Assignment Effective Date that is attributable to the percentage of the
Commitment represented by the Assigned Share. The Pro Rata Share represented by the Assigned
Share, and the Pro Rata Share, if any, retained by Assignor, shall be as specified on the signature
pages of this Agreement.

     2. Assumption. Effective on the Assignment Effective Date, Assignee hereby accepts
the foregoing assignment of, and hereby assumes from Assignor, the Assigned Rights and Obligations.

     3. Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on a date (the “Assignment
Effective Date”) selected by Assignor, which shall be on or as soon as practicable after the

Page 1 of 8

 

execution and delivery of counterparts of this Agreement by Assignor, Assignee, Administrative
Agent and (unless otherwise provided in Section 11.20 of the Credit Agreement) Borrower. Assignor
shall promptly notify Assignee, Administrative Agent and Borrower in writing of the Assignment
Effective Date.

     4. Payments on Assignment Effective Date. In consideration of the assignment by
Assignor to and the assumption by Assignee of the Assigned Rights and Obligations, on the
Assignment Effective Date (a) Assignee shall pay to Assignor such amounts as are specified in any
written agreement or exchange of letters between them, and (b) Assignee shall pay to Administrative
Agent an assignment processing fee of $3,000.

     5. Allocation and Payment of Interest and Fees.

               (a) Administrative Agent shall pay to Assignee all interest, Facility Fees and other amounts
not constituting principal that are paid by or on behalf of Borrower pursuant to the Loan Documents
and are attributable to the Assigned Rights and Obligations (“Borrower Amounts”), that accrue on
and after the Assignment Effective Date. If Assignor receives or collects any such Borrower
Amounts, Assignor shall promptly pay them to Assignee.

               (b) Administrative Agent shall pay to Assignor all Borrower Amounts that accrue before the
Assignment Effective Date when and as the same are paid by Administrative Agent to the other
Lenders. If Assignee receives or collects any such Borrower Amounts, Assignee shall promptly pay
such amounts to Assignor.

               (c) Unless specifically assumed by Assignee, Assignor shall be responsible and liable for all
reimbursable Liabilities and Costs and indemnification obligations which accrue under Section
10.7 of the Credit Agreement prior to the Assignment Effective Date and such liability shall
survive the Assignment Effective Date.

               (d) Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any allocation or payment to either Assignor
or Assignee subsequently determined to be erroneous, unless resulting from Administrative Agent’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence.

     6. Representations and Warranties.

               (a) Each of Assignor and Assignee represents and warrants to the other and to Administrative
Agent as follows:

                         (i) It has full power and authority, and has taken all action necessary, to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to fulfill its obligations under, and to consummate the transactions
contemplated by, this Agreement;

                         (ii) The making and performance of this Agreement and all documents required to be executed
and delivered by it hereunder do not and will not violate any law or regulation applicable to it;

                         (iii) This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by it and constitutes its legal,
valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms; and

Page 2 of 8

 

                         (iv) All approvals, authorizations or other actions by, or filings with, any governmental
authority necessary for the validity or enforceability of its obligations under this Agreement have
been made or obtained.

               (b) Assignor represents and warrants to Assignee that Assignor owns the Assigned Rights and
Obligations free and clear of any lien or other encumbrance.

               (c) Assignee represents and warrants to Assignor, Administrative Agent and Borrower as
follows:

                         (i) Assignee has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the
financial condition, affairs and creditworthiness of Borrower and any other person or entity
obligated under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Credit Parties”); and

                         (ii) Assignee has received copies of the Loan Documents and such other documents, financial
statements and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement.

               (d) Assignee represents and warrants to Assignor, Administrative Agent and Borrower that
Assignee is either:

               (i) another branch or Affiliate of Assignor; or

               (ii) an existing Lender under the Credit Agreement as of the date hereof; or

               (iii) is a bank or financial institution of the type described in the second sentence
of Section 11.20(a) of the Credit Agreement.

     7. No Assignor Responsibility. Assignor makes no representation or warranty
regarding, and assumes no responsibility to Assignee for:

               (a) the execution (by any party other than Assignor), effectiveness, genuineness, validity,
enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of the Loan Documents or any representations,
warranties, recitals or statements made in the Loan Documents or in any financial or other written
or oral statement, instrument, report, certificate or any other document made or furnished or made
available by Assignor to Assignee or by or on behalf of any Credit Party to Assignor or Assignee in
connection with the Loan Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby;

               (b) the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in
any of the Loan Documents or as to the existence or possible existence of any Unmatured Event of
Default or Event of Default under the Loan Documents; or

               (c) the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to Assignee, whether by Assignor
or by or on behalf of any Credit Party.

Page 3 of 8

 

Assignor shall have no initial or continuing duty or responsibility to make any investigation of
the financial condition, affairs or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties in connection
with the assignment of the Assigned Rights and Obligations or to provide Assignee with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the date
hereof or at any time or times thereafter.

     8. Assignee Bound By Credit Agreement. Effective on the Assignment Effective Date,
Assignee (a) shall be deemed to be a party to the Credit Agreement, (b) agrees to be bound by the
Credit Agreement to the same extent as it would have been if it had been an original Lender
thereunder, and (c) agrees to perform in accordance with their respective terms all of the
obligations which are required under the Loan Documents to be performed by it as a Lender.
Assignee appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions as agent on its behalf
and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by
the terms thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.

     9. Assignor Released From Credit Agreement. Effective on the Assignment Effective
Date, Assignor shall be released from the Assigned Rights and Obligations; provided,
however, that Assignor shall retain all of its rights to indemnification under the Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents for any events, acts or omissions occurring before the
Assignment Effective Date, and, to the extent not assumed by Assignee, Assignor shall continue to
be responsible for the liabilities and obligations described in Section 5(c) of this
Agreement and bound by the provisions of Section 5.3 of the Credit Agreement.

     10. New Notes. On or promptly after the Assignment Effective Date, Borrower,
Administrative Agent, Assignor and Assignee shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes
executed by Borrower, dated the Assignment Effective Date and in the amount of the [respective]
Commitment[s] of [Assignor and] Assignee, after giving effect to this Agreement, are issued to
[Assignor and] Assignee, in exchange for the surrender by Assignor [and Assignee] to Borrower of
any applicable outstanding Notes, marked “Exchanged”.

     11. General.

               (a) No term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, waived or terminated orally, but
only by an instrument signed by the parties hereto.

               (b) This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts. Each set of executed
counterparts shall be an original. Executed counterparts may be delivered by facsimile
transmission.

               (c) If Assignor has not assigned its entire remaining Pro Rata Share of the Commitment and
Advances to Assignee, Assignor may at any time and from time to time grant to others, subject to
applicable provisions in the Credit Agreement, assignments of or participation in all of Assignor’s
remaining Advances or Pro Rata Share of the Commitment.

               (d) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and
their respective successors and assigns. Neither Assignor nor Assignee may assign or transfer any
of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other
and Agent and (unless otherwise provided in Section 11.20 of the Credit

Page 4 of 8

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ARDEN REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Maryland limited partnership
(“Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of
______ (“Lender”) the
principal sum of ______ DOLLARS ($______) or if less, the aggregate unpaid
principal amount of all “Bid Advances” disbursed by Lender under that certain Fourth Amended and
Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July ___, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or
modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) entered into among Borrower, the
Lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Sole
Lead Arranger, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Wachovia Bank, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank,
N.A., as Syndication Agents, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent, together
with interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate (or rates) determined in
accordance with Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement from the date such principal is
advanced until it is paid in full. It is contemplated that there will be advances and payments
under this Bid Advance Note from time to time, but no advances or payments under this Bid Advance
Note (including payment in full of the unpaid balance of principal hereof prior to maturity) shall
affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Bid Advance Note as to future advances
hereunder.

     This Bid Advance Note is one of the Notes referred to in and governed by the Credit Agreement,
which Credit Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the
maturity hereof and for the payment of certain additional sums to Lender upon the happening of
certain stated events. Capitalized terms used in this Bid Advance Note without definition have the
same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

     The principal amount of this Bid Advance Note, if not sooner paid as required pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, will be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other
amounts due and unpaid under the Credit Agreement, on the Maturity Date. Except as provided in
Section 2.1(a)(ii)(A)(3), Borrower may not make any voluntary prepayments of all or a
portion of this Bid Advance Note.

     Interest on Absolute Rate Bid Advances is payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each
month during the respective Fixed Rate Periods relating to the Bid Advances evidenced hereby,
commencing with the first Business Day of the first calendar month to begin after the date of this
Bid Advance Note. Interest on Fixed Rate Bid Advances shall be payable in arrears at the end of
each Interest Period applicable to such Bid Advance, but in no event less frequently than once
every three months with respect to such Interest Period. Interest will be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of three
hundred sixty (360) days. The Credit Agreement provides for the payment by Borrower of various
other charges and fees, in addition to the interest charges described in the Credit Agreement, as
set forth more fully in the Credit Agreement.

Page 1 of 3

 

     All payments of any amount becoming due under this Bid Advance Note shall be made in the
manner provided in the Credit Agreement, in Dollars.

     Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless such Event of Default is waived
as provided in the Credit Agreement, this Bid Advance Note may, at the option of Requisite Lenders
and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared by Administrative Agent, and
in such case immediately shall become, due and payable. Upon and after the occurrence of certain
Events of Default, this Bid Advance Note shall, as provided in the Credit Agreement, without any
action by Lenders and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, automatically and
immediately become due and payable.

     Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest, notice of intention to
accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by
Borrower. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, Section
11.4 of the Credit Agreement, Lender may extend the time of payment of this Bid Advance Note,
postpone the enforcement hereof, grant any indulgences, release any party primarily or secondarily
liable hereon or agree to any subordination of Borrower’s obligations hereunder without affecting
or diminishing such Lender’s right of recourse against Borrower, which right is hereby expressly
reserved.

     This Bid Advance Note has been delivered and accepted at Los Angeles, California. This Bid
Advance Note shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the rights and liabilities of the parties
hereto shall be determined and governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect of the Advances
evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination,
deem applicable hereto. If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in
excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender’s election, either (a)
promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such excess to the principal balance
of the outstanding Advances held by that Lender. This provision shall control over every other
provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

Page 2 of 3

 

     Whenever possible each provision of this Bid Advance Note shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Bid Advance Note
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or
the remaining provisions of this Bid Advance Note.

FORM OF REPAYMENT GUARANTY

          THIS REPAYMENT GUARANTY (“Guaranty”) is made as of July ___, 2005 by ARDEN REALTY,
INC., a Maryland corporation (“Guarantor”), in favor of WELLS FARGO BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION (“Administrative Agent”), as administrative agent for itself and the other
“Lenders” referred to in the Credit Agreement (defined in Recital A below). Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth for such terms in the
Credit Agreement.

RECITALS

          Pursuant to the terms of that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement
dated as of July ___, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit
Agreement”) entered into among Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership
(“Borrower”), the Lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Wachovia Bank,
N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and PNC Bank, National Association, as
Documentation Agent, Lenders have agreed to loan to Borrower the principal sum of up to THREE
HUNDRED TEN MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($310,000,000.00) (the “Loan”) for the purposes
specified in the Credit Agreement.

          The Credit Agreement provides that the Loan shall be evidenced by those certain Notes executed
by Borrower payable to the order of Lenders. The term “Loan Documents” for purposes hereof shall
mean the Credit Agreement, the Notes and those other documents described in the Credit Agreement as
Loan Documents.

          This Guaranty supersedes in its entirety the Repayment Guaranty dated as of August 9, 2002
executed by Guarantor in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to the Prior Credit Agreement.

          THEREFORE, to induce Lenders to enter into the Credit Agreement and to make the Loan, and in
consideration thereof, Guarantor unconditionally guarantees and agrees as follows:

     1. GUARANTY. Guarantor hereby guarantees and promises to pay to Lenders or order, on
demand, in lawful money of the United States, in immediately available funds, the principal sum of
THREE HUNDRED TEN MILLION AND NO/100THS DOLLARS ($310,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be due
and owing under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents together with interest and any other
sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

     2. REMEDIES. If Guarantor fails to promptly perform its obligations under this
Guaranty, Lenders may from time to time, and without first requiring performance by Borrower or
exhausting any or all security for the Loan, bring any action at law or in equity or both to compel
Guarantor to perform its obligations hereunder, and to collect in any such action

Page 1 of 1

 

compensation for all loss, cost, damage, injury and expense sustained or incurred by Lenders
as a direct or indirect consequence of the failure of Guarantor to perform its obligations together
with interest thereon at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Notes.

     3. RIGHTS OF LENDERS. Guarantor authorizes Lenders, without giving notice to
Guarantor or obtaining Guarantor’s consent and without affecting the liability of Guarantor, from
time to time to: (a) renew or extend all or any portion of Borrower’s obligations under the Notes
or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) declare all sums owing to Lenders under the Notes and the
other Loan Documents due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the
Credit Agreement) under the Loan Documents; (c) make non-material changes in the dates specified
for payments of any sums payable in periodic installments under the Notes or any of the other Loan
Documents; (d) otherwise modify the terms of any of the Loan Documents, except for (i) increases in
the principal amount of the Notes or changes in the manner by which interest rates, fees or charges
are calculated under the Notes and the other Loan Documents (Guarantor acknowledges that if the
Notes or other Loan Documents so provide, said interest rates, fees and charges may vary from time
to time) or (ii) advancement of the Maturity Date of the Notes where no default has occurred under
the Loan Documents; (e) take and hold security for the performance of Borrower’s obligations under
the Notes or the other Loan Documents and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security;
(f) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as Lenders in their
discretion may determine; (g) release, substitute or add any one or more endorsers of the Notes or
guarantors of Borrower’s obligations under the Notes or the other Loan Documents; (h) apply
payments received by Lenders from Borrower on account of the Loan Documents to any obligations of
Borrower to Lenders thereunder, in such order as Lenders shall determine in their sole discretion,
whether or not any such obligations are covered by this Guaranty; and (i) assign this Guaranty in
whole or in part to any assignee of the Notes, subject to Section 11.20 of the Credit Agreement.

     4. GUARANTOR’S WAIVERS. Guarantor waives: (a) any defense based upon any legal
disability or other defense of Borrower, any other guarantor or other person, or by reason of the
cessation or limitation of the liability of Borrower from any cause other than full payment of all
sums payable under the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents; (b) any defense based upon any
lack of authority of the officers, directors, partners or agents acting or purporting to act on
behalf of Borrower or any principal of Borrower or any defect in the formation of Borrower or any
principal of Borrower; (c) any defense based upon the application by Borrower of the proceeds of
the Loan for purposes other than the purposes represented by Borrower to Lenders or intended or
understood by Lenders or Guarantor; (d) any and all rights and defenses arising out of an election
of remedies by Lenders, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure
with respect to security for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed Guarantor’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the
California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise; (e) any defense based upon Lenders’ failure to
disclose to Guarantor any information concerning Borrower’s financial condition or any other
circumstances bearing on Borrower’s ability to pay all sums payable under the Notes or any of the
other Loan Documents; (f) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the
obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in any other respects more burdensome
than that of a principal; (g) any defense based upon Lenders’ election, in any proceeding
instituted under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code or any successor statute; (h)

Page 2 of 2

 

any defense based upon any borrowing or any grant of a security interest under Section 364 of
the Federal Bankruptcy Code; (i) any right of subrogation, any right to enforce any remedy which
Lenders may have against Borrower and any right to participate in, or benefit from, any security
for the Notes or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter held by Lenders; and (j) presentment,
demand, protest and notice of any kind, except if and to the extent expressly required under any
Loan Document. Guarantor agrees that the payment of all sums payable under the Notes or any of the
other Loan Documents or any part thereof or other act which tolls any statute of limitations
applicable to the Notes or the other Loan Documents shall similarly operate to toll the statute of
limitations applicable to Guarantor’s liability hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing or any other provision hereof, Guarantor expressly waives to the extent permitted by law
any and all rights and defenses which might otherwise be available to Guarantor under California
Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 and under California Code of Civil
Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726, or any of such sections.

     5. GUARANTOR’S WARRANTIES. Guarantor warrants and acknowledges that: (a) Lenders
would not make the Loan but for this Guaranty; (b) there are no conditions precedent to the
effectiveness of this Guaranty; (c) Guarantor has established adequate means of obtaining from
sources other than Lenders, on a continuing basis, financial and other information pertaining to
Borrower’s financial condition and Borrower’s activities relating thereto and the status of
Borrower’s performance of obligations under the Loan Documents, and Guarantor agrees to keep
adequately informed from such means of any facts, events or circumstances which might in any way
affect Guarantor’s risks hereunder and Lenders have made no representation to Guarantor as to any
such matters; (d) the most recent financial statements of Guarantor previously delivered to Lenders
are true and correct in all material respects, have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied (or other principles acceptable to Lenders) and
fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of the respective dates thereof (subject to
year-end adjustments), and no material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of
Guarantor since the respective dates thereof, and (e) Guarantor has not and will not, without the
prior written consent of Lenders, sell, lease, assign, encumber, hypothecate, transfer or otherwise
dispose of all or substantially all of Guarantor’s assets, or any substantial interest therein,
other than in the ordinary course of Guarantor’s business or as expressly permitted by the Loan
Documents.

     6. SUBORDINATION. Guarantor subordinates all present and future indebtedness owing by
Borrower to Guarantor to the obligations at any time owing by Borrower to Lenders under the Notes
and the other Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees to make no claim for such indebtedness until all
obligations of Borrower under the Notes and the other Loan Documents have been fully discharged.
Guarantor further agrees not to assign all or any part of such indebtedness unless Lenders are
given prior notice and such assignment is expressly made subject to the terms of this Guaranty. If
Lenders so request, such indebtedness shall be enforced, collected and held by Guarantor as trustee
for Lenders and shall be paid over to Lenders on account of the Loan but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
This Section 6 shall not affect Guarantor’s rights to receive distributions from Borrower
to the extent expressly permitted under Section 8.7 of the Credit Agreement.

Page 3 of 3

 

     7. BANKRUPTCY OF BORROWER. In any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing
of claims is required by law, Guarantor shall file all claims which Guarantor may have against
Borrower relating to any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor and shall assign to Lenders all
rights of Guarantor thereunder. All such claims shall be enforced, and any amounts received by
Guarantor with respect to such claims shall be collected and held, by Guarantor as trustee for
Lenders and shall be paid over to Lenders on account of the Loan but without reducing or affecting
in any manner the liability of Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. If Guarantor
does not file any such claim, Administrative Agent, as attorney-in-fact for Guarantor, hereby
authorized to do so in the name of Guarantor or, in Lenders’ discretion, to assign the claim to a
nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of Lenders’ nominee. The foregoing
power of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. Lenders or their nominee shall
have the right, in its reasonable discretion, to accept or reject any plan proposed in such
proceeding and to take any other action which a party filing a claim is entitled to do. In all such
cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or otherwise, the person or persons authorized to pay
such claim shall pay to Lenders the amount payable on such claim; provided,
however, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be satisfied except to the extent that
Lenders receive cash by reason of any such payment or distribution. If Lenders receive anything
hereunder other than cash, the same shall be held as collateral for amounts due under this
Guaranty. If all or any portion of the obligations guaranteed hereunder are paid or performed, the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall continue and shall remain in full force and effect in the
event that all or any part of such payment or performance is avoided or recovered directly or
indirectly from Lenders as a preference, fraudulent transfer or otherwise under the Bankruptcy Code
or other similar laws, irrespective of (a) any notice of revocation given by Guarantor prior to
such avoidance or recovery, or (b) full payment and performance of all of the indebtedness and
obligations evidenced and secured by the Loan Documents.

     8. LOAN SALES AND PARTICIPATIONS: DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION. Guarantor agrees that
each of the Lenders may elect, at any time, to sell, assign, or grant participations in all or any
portion of its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents and this Guaranty, subject
to the provisions of Section 5.3 and Section 11.20 of the Credit Agreement, and in
connection with any such actual or proposed sale, assignment or grant, each Lender may provide to
any prospective transferee, assignee or participant all information and documentation relating to
the Loan Documents and the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder. In the event of any
such sale, assignment or participation, Lenders and the parties to such transaction shall share in
the rights and obligations of Lenders as set forth in the Loan Documents only as and to the extent
they agree among themselves. In connection with any such sale, assignment or participation,
Guarantor further agrees that the Guaranty shall be sufficient evidence of the obligations of
Guarantor to each purchaser, assignee, or participant, and upon written request by Lenders,
Guarantor shall consent to any amendments or modifications to the Loan Documents (other than this
Guaranty) which do not materially increase the obligations guaranteed hereunder and which may be
reasonably required in order to evidence any such sale, assignment, or participation.

     9. ADDITIONAL, INDEPENDENT AND UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS. This is a Guaranty of payment
and not of collection and the obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall be in addition to and shall
not limit or in any way affect the obligations of Guarantor under any other existing or
future guaranties unless said other guaranties are expressly modified or revoked

Page 4 of 4

 

in writing. This Guaranty is independent of the obligations of Borrower under the Notes and
the other Loan Documents. Lenders may bring a separate action to enforce the provisions hereof
against Guarantor without taking action against Borrower or any other party or joining Borrower or
any other party as a party to such action. This Guaranty is not secured and shall not be deemed to
be secured by any security instrument unless such security instrument expressly recites that it
secures this Guaranty.

     10. ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ENFORCEMENT. Subject to Section 11.1 of the Credit
Agreement, if any attorney is engaged by Lenders to enforce or defend any provision of this
Guaranty, or any of the other Loan Documents, or as a consequence of any Event of Default
under the Loan Documents, with or without the filing of any legal action or proceeding, Guarantor
shall pay to Lenders, within seven (7) days after written demand, all reasonable attorneys’ fees
and costs incurred by Lenders in connection therewith, together with interest thereon from the date
of such demand until paid at the rate of interest applicable to the principal balance of the Notes
as specified therein.

     11. RULES OF CONSTRUCTION. The word “Borrower” as used herein shall include both the
named Borrower and any other person at any time assuming or otherwise becoming primarily liable for
all or any part of the obligations of the named Borrower under the Notes and the other Loan
Documents. The term “person” as used herein shall include any individual, company, trust or
other legal entity of any kind whatsoever. If this Guaranty is executed by more than one
person, the term “Guarantor” shall include all such persons. When the context and construction so
require, all words used in the singular herein shall be deemed to have been used in the plural and
vice versa. All headings appearing in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall be
disregarded in construing this Guaranty.

     12. CREDIT REPORTS. Each legal entity and individual obligated on this Guaranty
hereby authorizes Lenders to order and obtain, from a credit reporting agency of Lenders’ choice, a
third party credit report on such legal entity and individual.

     13. GOVERNING LAW. This Guaranty shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted by Federal laws.
Guarantor and all persons and entities in any manner obligated to Lenders under this Guaranty
consent to the jurisdiction of any Federal or State Court within the State of California having
proper venue and also consent to service of process by any means authorized by California or
Federal law.

     14. MISCELLANEOUS. The provisions of this Guaranty will bind and benefit the heirs,
executors, administrators, legal representatives, nominees, successors and assigns of Guarantor and
Lenders. The liability of all persons and entities who are in any manner obligated hereunder shall
be joint and several. If any provision of this Guaranty shall be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that portion shall be deemed
severed from this Guaranty and the remaining parts shall remain in full force as though the
invalid, illegal or unenforceable portion had never been part of this Guaranty.

     15. ENFORCEABILITY. Guarantor hereby acknowledges that: (a) the obligations
undertaken by Guarantor in this Guaranty are complex in nature, and (b) numerous possible

Page 5 of 5

 

defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise
hereafter, and (c) as part of Lenders’ consideration for entering into this transaction, Lenders
have specifically bargained for the waivers and relinquishments by Guarantor set forth herein with
respect to such defenses, and (d) Guarantor has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal
advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated
herein. Given all of the above, Guarantor does hereby represent and confirm to Lenders that
Guarantor is fully informed regarding, and that Guarantor does thoroughly understand: (i) the
nature of all such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may
arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Guarantor, and (iv) the legal

PROMISSORY NOTE

			
	$[                    ]
	 	July ___, 2005

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, ARDEN REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Maryland limited partnership
(“Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY to the order of                                         (“Lender”) the principal sum
of                                         MILLION DOLLARS ($                     ) or if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all “Advances”
disbursed by Lender pursuant to Lender’s “Pro Rata Share” of the “Commitment,” as such terms are
defined in that certain Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July
___, 2005 (as amended, supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
entered into among Borrower, the Lenders named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as
Administrative Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Wachovia Bank,
N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agents, and PNC Bank, National Association, as
Documentation Agent, together with interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate (or
rates) determined in accordance with Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement from the date such
principal is advanced until it is paid in full. It is contemplated that there will be advances and
payments under this Promissory Note from time to time, but no advances or payments under this
Promissory Note (including payment in full of the unpaid balance of principal hereof prior to
maturity) shall affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Promissory Note as to
future advances hereunder.

     This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in and governed by the Credit Agreement,
which Credit Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the
maturity hereof and for the payment of certain additional sums to Lender upon the happening of
certain stated events. Capitalized terms used in this Promissory Note without definition have the
same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

     The principal amount of this Promissory Note, if not sooner paid as required pursuant to the
Credit Agreement, will be due and payable, together with all accrued and unpaid interest and other
amounts due and unpaid under the Credit Agreement, on the Maturity Date. Borrower may make
voluntary prepayments of all or a portion of this Promissory Note, upon prior written notice, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 2.6 of the Credit Agreement.

     Interest on the Advances (other than Advances in respect of which interest is determined on
the basis of LIBOR) is payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month during the term
of the Credit Agreement, commencing with the first Business Day of the first calendar month to
begin after the date of this Promissory Note. Interest on LIBOR based Advances shall be payable in
arrears at the end of the Interest Period applicable to such Advance, but in no event less
frequently than once every three months. Interest will be computed on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of three hundred
sixty (360) days, except that interest on Base Rate Advances shall be calculated on the basis of
the actual number of days in the applicable calendar year (i.e., 365 or 366, as applicable). The

Swing Line Note - Page 1 of 3

 

Credit Agreement provides for the payment by Borrower of various other charges and fees, in
addition to the interest charges described in the Credit Agreement, as set forth more fully in the
Credit Agreement.

     All payments of any amount becoming due under this Promissory Note shall be made in the manner
provided in the Credit Agreement, in Dollars.

     Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless such Event of Default is waived
as provided in the Credit Agreement, this Promissory Note may, at the option of Requisite Lenders
and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, be declared by Administrative Agent, and
in such case immediately shall become, due and payable. Upon and after the occurrence of certain
Events of Default, this Promissory Note shall, as provided in the Credit Agreement, without any
action by Lenders and without demand, notice or legal process of any kind, automatically and
immediately become due and payable.

     Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest, notice of intention to
accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by
Borrower. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 11.4
of the Credit Agreement, Lender may extend the time of payment of this Promissory Note, postpone
the enforcement hereof, grant any indulgences, release any party primarily or secondarily liable
hereon or agree to any subordination of Borrower’s obligations hereunder without affecting or
diminishing such Lender’s right of recourse against Borrower, which right is hereby expressly
reserved.

     This Promissory Note has been delivered and accepted at Los Angeles, California. This
Promissory Note shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the rights and liabilities of the
parties hereto shall be determined and governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect of the Advances
evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination,
deem applicable hereto. If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in
excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender’s election, either (a)
promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such excess to the principal balance
of the outstanding Advances held by that Lender. This provision shall control over every other
provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

     Whenever possible each provision of this Promissory Note shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Promissory Note
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or
the remaining provisions of this Promissory Note.

FORM OF REIT SOLVENCY CERTIFICATE

     This Solvency Certificate (“Certificate”) is delivered in connection with that certain
Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of July ___, 2005 (as amended,
supplemented or modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) entered into among
Arden Realty Limited Partnership, a Maryland limited partnership (“Borrower”), the Lenders
named therein, Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent and Sole Lead
Arranger, Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas, Wachovia Bank, N.A., and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A.,
as Syndication Agents, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent, as Documentation
Agents. Capitalized terms used in this Certificate without definition have the same meanings as in
the Credit Agreement.

     I,                     , the                     of Arden Realty, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “REIT”), in my capacity as
Chief Financial Officer of the REIT, hereby certify, on behalf of the REIT, that:

     1. I am the duly elected, qualified and acting Chief Financial Officer of the REIT and am
familiar with the business and financial and other matters hereinafter described.

     2. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a Pro Forma Balance Sheet of the REIT (the “Pro
Forma Balance Sheet”), showing the estimated financial condition of the REIT immediately after
(a) its execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, and (b) the completion
of all other transactions contemplated to occur on the Closing Date with respect to Borrower (the
“Closing”). The total net worth of the REIT shown on the Pro Forma Balance Sheet does not overstate
the amount by which the aggregate assets of the REIT, at a fair valuation, exceed the aggregate
liabilities of the REIT, whether direct or contingent as of the date hereof. As to contingent
liabilities, the Pro Forma Balance Sheet reflects the probable liability of the REIT thereon.

     3. The Pro Forma Balance Sheet (a) presents the liabilities of the REIT (whether contingent or
not) fairly and accurately, (b) has been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, and (c) reflects on its face all of the relevant financial data of the REIT currently
available with respect to its liabilities. With respect to the presentation of contingent
liabilities, I have consulted with counsel for the REIT regarding contingent liabilities (including
without limitation, liabilities for taxes, environmental liabilities, intercompany indebtedness,
liability under any sureties and guaranties and pending or threatened litigation or other
proceedings and contingent liabilities) and have included as a liability our best judgment as to
the probable exposure of the REIT to contingent liabilities that would not be included in reserves
otherwise reflected in the balance sheet.

     4. In preparing the Pro Forma Balance Sheet, I have assumed that a “fair valuation” of the
REIT assets means the purchase price of assets and, in the REIT’s opinion, such assumption does not
result in the overstatement of such values.

     5. The REIT has prepared cash flow and balance sheet projections (the “Projections”)
for the REIT for the term of the Credit Agreement. The Projections were

Notice of Borrowing - Page 1 of 3

 

prepared by me, in conjunction with other financial personnel of the REIT, on the basis of the
assumptions set forth therein (which assumptions are, in the opinion of the REIT, reasonable in
light of the financial condition and prospects of the REIT), and represent our good faith opinion
as to the most probable course of its business. The practices followed in preparing the
Projections do not materially differ from practices usually followed in the preparation of
accounting projections in the regular course of an ongoing business.

     6. Based on the foregoing, I have concluded that, immediately after the Closing Date:

     (a) the REIT will be able to pay its debts as they mature;

     (b) the REIT will have capital sufficient to carry on its business and transactions and all
businesses and transactions in which it presently intends to engage;

     (c) the REIT will have assets with a present fair saleable value and a fair valuation greater
than the amount of its liabilities, whether direct or contingent; and

     (d) the present fair saleable value of the assets of the REIT will not be less than the amount
that will be required to pay the probable liability of the REIT on its existing indebtedness as
such indebtedness becomes absolute and matured.

     7. The REIT does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay them as they mature.

     8. The REIT does not contemplate filing a petition in bankruptcy or for an arrangement or
reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code, nor are there any threatened bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings against the REIT.

     9. This Certificate is made and delivered to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of

assistance to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement. I have carefully reviewed the contents of
this Certificate, and I have conferred with counsel for the REIT concerning the meaning of its

Agent and Sole Lead Arranger, and PNC Bank, National Association, as Documentation Agent, together
with interest on the unpaid principal balance hereof at the rate (or rates) determined in
accordance with Section 2.4 of the Credit Agreement from the date such principal is
advanced until it is paid in full. It is contemplated that there will be advances and payments
under this Promissory Note from time to time, but no advances or payments under this Promissory
Note (including payment in full of the unpaid balance of principal hereof prior to maturity) shall
affect or impair the validity or enforceability of this Promissory Note as to future advances
hereunder.

     This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in and governed by the Credit Agreement,
which Credit Agreement, among other things, contains provisions for the acceleration of the
maturity hereof and for the payment of certain additional sums to Lender upon the happening of
certain stated events. Capitalized terms used in this Promissory Note without definition have the
same meanings as in the Credit Agreement.

     The principal amount of this Promissory Note, if not sooner paid as required pursuant to the

voluntary prepayments of all or a portion of this Promissory Note in accordance with the provisions

     Interest on the Advances is payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each month during
the term of the Credit Agreement, commencing with the first Business Day of the first calendar
month to begin after the date of this Promissory Note. Interest will be computed on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues in the applicable
calendar year (i.e. 365 or 366, as applicable). The Credit Agreement provides for the payment by
Borrower of various other charges and fees, in addition to the interest charges described in the
Credit Agreement, as set forth more fully in the Credit Agreement.

     All payments of any amount becoming due under this Promissory Note shall be made in the manner
provided in the Credit Agreement, in Dollars.

     Upon and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, unless such Event of Default is waived
as provided in the Credit Agreement, this Promissory Note may, at the option of Lender and without
demand, notice or legal process of any kind, but subject to the provisions of the

Swing Line Note - Page 1 of 2

 

Credit Agreement, be declared by Lender, and in such case immediately shall become, due and
payable. Upon and after the occurrence of certain Events of Default, this Promissory Note shall,
as provided in the Credit Agreement, without any action by Lender and without demand, notice or
legal process of any kind, automatically and immediately become due and payable.

     Demand, presentment, protest and notice of nonpayment and protest, notice of intention to
accelerate maturity, notice of acceleration of maturity and notice of dishonor are hereby waived by
Borrower. Subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement, including but not limited to, Section
11.4 of the Credit Agreement, Lender may extend the time of payment of this Promissory Note,
postpone the enforcement hereof, grant any indulgences, release any party primarily or secondarily
liable hereon or agree to any subordination of Borrower’s obligations hereunder without affecting
or diminishing such Lender’s right of recourse against Borrower, which right is hereby expressly
reserved.

     This Promissory Note has been delivered and accepted at Los Angeles, California. This
Promissory Note shall be interpreted in accordance with, and the rights and liabilities of the
parties hereto shall be determined and governed by, the laws of the State of California.

     In no contingency or event whatsoever shall interest charged in respect of the Advances
evidenced hereby, however such interest may be characterized or computed, exceed the highest rate
permissible under any law that a court of competent jurisdiction shall, in a final determination,
deem applicable hereto. If such a court determines that Lender has received interest hereunder in
excess of the highest rate applicable hereto, Lender shall, at Lender’s election, either (a)
promptly refund such excess interest to Borrower or (b) credit such excess to the principal balance
of the outstanding Advances held by that Lender. This provision shall control over every other
provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender.

     Whenever possible each provision of this Promissory Note shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Promissory Note
shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or
the remaining provisions of this Promissory Note.
