TAX MATTERS

          Section 9.1 Tax Matters.

          (a) Income, Profit and Other Taxes. Except as provided in this Article 9, each party
to this Agreement shall be responsible for any Federal and state income and profit taxes or other
Taxes imposed on it as a result of the transactions effected pursuant to this Agreement or
otherwise.

          (b) Transfer Taxes. The Sellers on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other,
shall bear in equal portions and pay all sales, use, transfer, recording, gains, stock transfer and
other similar taxes and fees (“Transfer Taxes”) if any, arising out of or in connection with the
sale of the Purchased Interests pursuant to this Agreement.

          (c) Pre-Closing Taxes and Overlap Period Taxes. Sellers shall be responsible for all
Pre-Closing Taxes and for Overlap Period Taxes to the extent they relate to events or periods
through 12:00 a.m. (California time) on the Closing Date. Tax Returns for Pre-Closing Taxes shall
be prepared and filed in accordance with and as set forth in the Partnership Agreement. The
Purchaser shall prepare and file Tax Returns for Overlap Period Taxes, and will supply Sellers with
a draft of any such returns and a written request for payment of Sellers’ share of such Taxes. The
Purchaser preparation of any such Tax Returns shall be subject to Sellers’ approval, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Payments of the Sellers’ share must be made to the
Purchaser by wire transfer within thirty (30) business days after such request. Liability for
Overlap Period Taxes will be allocated between Sellers and the Purchaser on a closing of the books
method. The Parties agree to cooperate with one another with respect to preparing and filing Tax
Returns.

13

 

          (d) Refunds. Any refund or credit of Pre-Closing Taxes or Overlap Period Taxes paid
by the Sellers shall be for the benefit of the Sellers. The Purchaser shall pay any such refund to
the Sellers within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser or MPLP receives such refund or actually

          (e) Contests. The Purchaser agrees that, in the event the Purchaser or MPLP receive
notice in writing of any examination, claim, settlement, proposed adjustment, administrative or
judicial proceeding, or other matter related to any Pre-Closing Taxes or Overlap Period Taxes for
which the Sellers may be liable under Section 9.1(c), the Purchaser will notify the Sellers in
writing promptly after receipt of such notice. The Purchaser will be entitled to control any Tax
contest, except to the extent that responsibility for the disputed Tax liability falls solely on
the Sellers; provided, however, that if responsibility for the disputed Tax liability falls solely
on the Sellers but the contest involves issues that may recur on a later Tax Return of MPLP or the
Purchaser with respect to MPLP, the Purchaser and Sellers will cooperate amongst themselves in all
efforts to respond to and resolve the contest or disputed tax liability. The Sellers shall notify
the Purchaser in writing within thirty (30) business days following receipt of the notice from the
Purchaser described in this Section 9.1(e) that the Sellers assume control over the contest if so
entitled. Each party will bear its own expenses, and the controlling party will keep the other
party informed of developments in the case. The noncontrolling party or parties shall have the
opportunity to attend meetings with tax officials and to comment on any written submissions before
they are submitted. Suggestions by the noncontrolling party or parties about the conduct of the
contest will be considered in good faith by the controlling party, but the controlling party will
make the ultimate decision on whether, how long and in what manner to contest.

          (f) Information. In connection with preparing any Tax Return or preparing for any
audit or other examination by any taxing authority or any judicial or administrative proceedings

available to, another Party. The Sellers will not destroy any records related to MPLP for tax
periods commencing before the Closing Date for a period of seven (7) years following the date

consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).

ARTICLE X

which covenants and agreements shall survive in accordance with their terms, (ii) the covenants and
agreements in Section 14.5, which covenants and agreements shall survive for a period of two (2)
years after the Closing, (iii) the representations and warranties contained in Sections 3.1, 3.2,

14

 

asserted in writing within the applicable period (whether or not the amount of any such claim
has become ascertainable within such period) shall not thereafter be time barred.

          Section 10.2 No Other Representations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, each Party agrees that none of the Sellers nor their respective
Affiliates nor their respective Representatives has made or is making any representation or
warranty whatsoever, express or implied, written or oral, including any implied representation or
warranty as to the condition, merchantability, usage, suitability or fitness for any particular
purpose with respect to the Purchased Interests, MPLP or its Assets and Properties, or the Project,
except those representations and warranties contained in Article 3 and in any certificate delivered
pursuant to Article 7 in particular and without in any way limiting the foregoing, (i) none of the
Sellers nor their respective Affiliates nor their respective Representatives makes any
representation or warranty regarding any environmental matters and (ii) none of the Sellers nor
their respective Affiliates nor their respective Representatives makes any representation or
warranty with respect to any financial projections or forecasts relating to MPLP or the Purchased

Sellers and their respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives expressly disclaim any

Closing, the Purchaser, on behalf of itself and MPLP, hereby releases, indemnifies and holds
harmless the Sellers and their Affiliates and their respective Representatives (acting in their
capacity as such) from and against any Losses, and shall not make any claim, for officer, director,
partner, manager or controlling (or any other) stockholder or member liability or for breach of any
fiduciary or other duty or breach of any employment contract (or similar arrangement) relating to
any pre-Closing actions or failures to act (including negligence or gross negligence) in connection
with the business, ownership or operation of MPLP or the Project prior to the Closing.

ARTICLE XI

INDEMNIFICATION

          Section 11.1 Indemnification.

          (a) Sellers shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, indemnify, defend and hold
harmless, on an After Tax Basis, the Purchaser and its Affiliates and the respective officers,
directors, employees and shareholders of the foregoing, and their successors and assigns
(collectively, the “Purchaser Indemnified Parties”) from, against and with respect to any claim,
liability, obligation or Loss, of any kind or character, suffered, incurred or sustained by any
Purchaser Indemnified Party or to which it or they become subject, arising out of or relating or
attributable to:

15

 

          (i) any inaccuracy in any representation or breach of warranty of any Seller contained
in Article 3 or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Article 7;

          (ii) any failure by any of the Sellers to perform or observe, or to have performed or
observed, in full, any covenant, agreement or condition to be performed or observed by any
of them under this Agreement or under any certificates executed by any Seller in connection
with this Agreement.

          (b) The Purchaser shall indemnify, to the fullest extent permitted by law, defend and hold
harmless, on an After Tax Basis, the Sellers and their Affiliates and the respective partners,
officers, directors, employees and shareholders of the foregoing, and their successors and assigns
(collectively the “Sellers Indemnified Parties”) from, against and with respect to any claim,
liability, obligation, judgment or Loss, of any kind or character, suffered, incurred or sustained
by any Sellers Indemnified Party or to which it or they become subject, arising out of or relating
or attributable to:

          (i) any inaccuracy in any representation or breach of warranty of the Purchaser
contained in Article 4 or in any certificate delivered pursuant to Article 8; and

          (ii) any failure by the Purchaser to perform or observe, or to have performed or
observed, in full, any covenant, agreement or condition to be performed or observed by the
Purchaser under this Agreement or under any certificates executed by the Purchaser in
connection with this Agreement.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no indemnification shall be available to
the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under Section 11.1 (a) hereof or to the Sellers Indemnified
Parties under Section 11.1(b) hereof:

          (i) unless, with respect to any claim, the Loss involves an amount in excess of
$100,000; and

          (ii) unless the aggregate amount of Losses that would otherwise be subject to
indemnification with respect to such claim and all prior claims exceeds $500,000 (such
amount, the “Threshold Amount”), in which case the party(ies) entitled to such
indemnification shall be entitled to receive all amounts in excess of the Threshold Amount.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Sellers shall have no obligation to
indemnify any Purchaser Indemnified Party for any Losses pursuant to Section 11.1(a) hereof, and
the Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify any Seller Indemnified Party for any Losses
pursuant to Section 11.1(b) hereof, in each case to the extent such Losses arise from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Purchaser or the Sellers, as applicable.

          (e) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the maximum aggregate liability of
Sellers to the Purchaser Indemnified Parties under this Agreement shall not exceed an amount equal
to $7,000,000; provided that Sellers’ aggregate liability arising out of or relating to breaches by
either Seller of its representations in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 or 3.7 may exceed

16

 

such amount but shall in no event (together with any other liability pursuant to this clause
(e)) exceed the Purchase Price.

          (f) None of the Sellers nor their respective Affiliates shall have any liability for any
breach by any Seller of this Agreement (or any closing certificate delivered pursuant to Section
7.3) if the Purchaser had knowledge of such breach or the facts giving rise to such breach prior to
the Closing (and, without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, for purposes of this
Section 11.1(f), the documents and their contents and other information disclosed in writing to the
Purchaser, its Affiliates or their respective Representatives in the course of the operation of the
Project, are deemed known by the Purchaser).

          Section 11.2 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any
Indemnified Party under this Section 11.2 will be asserted and resolved as follows:

          (a) In the event any claim or demand in respect of which an Indemnified Party believes in good
faith it is entitled to indemnity under Section 11.1 is asserted against or sought to be collected
from such Indemnified Party by a Person other than the Sellers, the Purchaser or any Affiliate of
the Sellers or the Purchaser (a “Third Party Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall deliver a Claim
Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party.

          (i) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period
that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Indemnified Party with respect to the
Third Party Claim pursuant to this Section 11.2(a), and confirms its responsibility with
respect thereto, then the Indemnifying Party will have the right to defend, at the sole cost
and expense of the Indemnifying Party, such Third Party Claim by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnifying Party, with
counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party, to a final conclusion or will be
settled at the discretion of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the limitations set forth
below). From and after the Indemnifying Party’s delivery of the notice referred to in the
first sentence of this Section 11.2(a)(i), the Indemnifying Party will have full control of
such defense and proceedings, including any settlement thereof; provided that the
Indemnifying Party may not settle or compromise any Third Party Claim in any manner that
results in any continuing liability or obligation for the Indemnified Party or any admission
of liability or wrongdoing by the Indemnified Party, without, in any such case, the prior
written consent of the Indemnified Party, which will not be unreasonably withheld. If
requested by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party will, at the sole cost and
expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in
contesting any Third Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party elects to contest, or, if
appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim
against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any
Person (other than the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Indemnified Party may take over the control of the defense or settlement of a
Third Party Claim at any time if it irrevocably waives its right to indemnity under Section
11.1 with respect to such Third Party Claim.

17

 

          (ii) Should the Indemnified Party reasonably conclude that there may be defenses
available to the Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available
to the Indemnifying Party, or if the Indemnified Party’s counsel shall have advised the
Indemnified Party that there is a conflict of interest that could make it inappropriate
under applicable standards of professional conduct to have common counsel, the Indemnified
Party shall have the right to request separate counsel from that representing the
Indemnifying Party, the expenses of such separate representation to be paid by the
Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying Party fails to notify the Indemnified Party within
the Dispute Period that the Indemnifying Party desires to defend the Third Party Claim
pursuant to Section 11.2(a), or if the Indemnifying Party gives such notice but fails to
employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or to prosecute diligently
the Third Party Claim, then the Indemnified Party will have the right to defend, at the sole
cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Third Party Claim by all appropriate
proceedings, which proceedings will be diligently prosecuted by the Indemnified Party to a
final conclusion or will be settled at the discretion of the Indemnified Party (with the
consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed). The Indemnified Party will have full control of any defense and
proceedings pursuant to this Section 11.2(a)(ii) (including settlement thereof); provided,
that if requested by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party will, at the sole cost
and expense of the Indemnifying Party, cooperate with the Indemnified Party and its counsel
in contesting any Third Party Claim which the Indemnified Party is contesting, or, if
appropriate and related to the Third Party Claim in question, in making any counterclaim
against the Person asserting the Third Party Claim, or any cross-complaint against any
Person (other than the Indemnified Party or any of its Affiliates).

          (iii) If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute
its responsibility to the Indemnified Party with respect to the Third Party Claim under
Section 11.1 or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the Dispute Period
whether the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party with respect
to such Third Party Claim, the Losses arising from such Third Party Claim will be
conclusively deemed a responsibility of the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.1
and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of such Losses to the Indemnified Party on
demand following the final determination thereof. If the Indemnifying Party timely disputes
its responsibility with respect to such claim or fails to respond within the Dispute Period,
the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed in good faith to negotiate a
resolution of such dispute, and if not resolved through negotiations within the Resolution
Period, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to seek such remedies against the
Indemnifying Party as may then be available to it under this Agreement and applicable Laws.

          (b) In the event any Indemnified Party should have a claim under Section 11.1 against any
Indemnifying Party that does not involve a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall deliver
an Indemnity Notice with reasonable promptness to the Indemnifying Party. If the Indemnifying
Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the claim or the amount of Loss
therefrom described in such Indemnity Notice, or fails to notify the Indemnified Party within the
Dispute Period that it disputes the claim described in the Indemnity Notice, the

18

 

Loss in the amount specified in the Indemnity Notice will be conclusively deemed a liability
of the Indemnifying Party under Section 11.1 and the Indemnifying Party shall pay the amount of
such Loss to the Indemnified Party on demand. If the Indemnifying Party has disputed its liability
or the amount of the Loss therefrom with respect to such claim or fails to respond within the
Dispute Period, such dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the provisions of Article 12.

          Section 11.3 Exclusivity. After the Closing, to the extent permitted by applicable
Laws, and except in the case of fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct, the indemnities set
forth in this Article 11 shall be the exclusive remedies of the Purchaser and the Sellers, their
respective Affiliates and their respective Representatives due to breach of any representation,
warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or with respect to any events,
occurrences or conditions relating to the Project; provided, however, that the foregoing provision
shall not limit or restrict the availability of specific performance or other injunctive or
equitable relief (other than rescission) to the extent that specific performance or such other
relief would otherwise be available to a Party.

          Section 11.4 Notification by the Sellers of Certain Matters. The Sellers may, at the
Closing, notify the Purchaser in writing in reasonable detail of any representation or warranty of
any of the Sellers that was not true and accurate as of the date of this Agreement or as of the
Closing or of any covenant of any of the Sellers that has not been performed and complied with and,
if the Purchaser shall in its sole discretion nevertheless elect to close under this Agreement,
none of the matters set forth in such certificate shall be deemed to be an inaccuracy in or breach
of the specific representations and warranties or covenants of the Sellers so modified for purposes
of, and the Purchaser shall not be entitled to be indemnified as to any of such specific
representations, warranties and covenants in the form prior to their modification pursuant to, this
Article 11.

ARTICLE XII

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

          In the event an action, dispute, claim, counterclaim or controversy (“Dispute”) arises between
the Parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the aggrieved Party or Parties, as
applicable, shall promptly notify the other Party or Parties, as applicable, of the Dispute within
ten (10) Business Days after the aggrieved Party becomes aware of the basis for such Dispute. If
the affected Parties have failed to resolve the Dispute within ten Business Days after delivery of
such notice, each affected Party shall, within five (5) Business Days thereafter, nominate a senior
officer of its management to meet to attempt to resolve the Dispute. The senior officers shall
meet within twenty (20) Business Days after their nomination. If the matter has not been resolved
within fourteen (14) days after the meeting of the senior officers, any affected Party may pursue
any and all available legal remedies, unless such Parties mutually agree to an alternative dispute
resolution procedure.

          Section 13.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time after August
15, 2010, by Sellers or the Purchaser if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before such date

          Section 13.2 Effect of Termination or Breach.

Section 14.3 and confidentiality in Section 14.5 will continue to apply following any such
termination.

          (b) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if this Agreement

terminating party may recover such remedies, including damages and fees and expenses of attorneys
