REXFORD INDUSTRIAL REALTY, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)


1.
Organization
Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013, and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate principally located in Southern California infill markets, and, from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property.  As of June 30, 2017, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 139 properties with approximately 16.2 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage 19 properties with approximately 1.2 million rentable square feet.  
The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and the “Company” as used in these financial statements refer to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including our Operating Partnership).
Basis of Presentation
As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the financial statements presented are the consolidated financial statements of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2017. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any references to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.  
We consolidate all entities that are wholly owned and those in which we own less than 100% but control, as well as any variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. We evaluate our ability to control an entity and whether the entity is a variable interest entity and we are the primary beneficiary through consideration of the substantive terms of the arrangement to identify which enterprise has the power to direct the activities of a variable interest entity that most significantly impacts the entity’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of the entity or the right to receive benefits from the entity. Investments in entities in which we do not control but over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies are presented under the equity method. Investments in entities that we do not control and over which we do not exercise significant influence are carried at the lower of cost or fair value, as appropriate. Our ability to correctly assess our influence and/or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in our consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is generally comprised of cash proceeds from property sales that are being held by qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating tax-deferred like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1031 Exchange”). As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we did not have a balance in restricted cash.
Notes Receivable
We record notes receivable at the unpaid principal balance, net of any deferred origination fees, purchase discounts or premiums and valuation allowances, as applicable. We amortize net deferred origination fees, which are comprised of loan fees collected from the borrower, and purchase discounts or premiums over the contractual life of the loan using the effective interest method and immediately recognize in income any unamortized balances if the loan is repaid before its contractual maturity.
On July 1, 2016, we made a $6.0 million mortgage loan secured by a 64,965 rentable square foot industrial property located in Rancho Cucamonga, California, that was subsequently repaid by the borrower on June 23, 2017. In connection with this origination, we collected a $0.3 million loan fee from the borrower. The loan bore interest at 10% per annum and had a stated maturity date of June 30, 2017. Additionally, the borrower had the option to defer up to $14 thousand of interest, otherwise payable per month, to be added to the principal to be paid in full on the maturity date. At the time of repayment, the outstanding principal balance on the loan was $6.2 million.    
Investments in Real Estate
Acquisitions
On January 5, 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01’), which provides a new framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. ASU 2017-01 clarifies that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar assets, the set of assets and activities is not a business. ASU 2017-01 also revises the definition of a business to include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create an output. ASU 2017-01 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted.
Effective January 1, 2017, we early adopted ASU 2017-01. We evaluated the acquisitions that we completed during the six months ended June 30, 2017, and determined that under the new framework these transactions should be accounted for as asset acquisitions. See Note 3.
We evaluate each of our property acquisitions to determine whether the acquired set of assets and activities (collectively referred to as a “set”) meets the definition of a business and will need to be accounted for as a business combination. A set would fail to qualify as a business if either (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets or (ii) the set is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs. An acquired process is considered substantive if (i) the process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce), that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process, (ii) the process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay or (iii) the process is considered unique or scarce.
We expect that most of our property acquisitions will generally not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process.
When we acquire a property that meets the business combination accounting criteria, we allocate the purchase price to the various components of the acquisition based upon the fair value of each component on the acquisition date. The components

10



typically include land, building and improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets related to above and below market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, debt and other assumed assets and liabilities. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. Because of the timing or complexity of completing certain fair value adjustments, the initial purchase price allocation may be incomplete at the end of a reporting period, in which case we may record provisional purchase price allocation amounts based on information available at the acquisition date. Subsequent adjustments to provisional amounts are recognized during the measurement period, which cannot exceed one year from the date of acquisition.
For acquisitions that do not meet the business combination accounting criteria, we allocate the cost of the acquisition, which includes any associated acquisition costs, to the individual assets and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. As there is no measurement period concept for an asset acquisition, the allocated cost of the acquired assets should be finalized in the period in which the acquisition occurred.
We determine the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant.  This “as-if vacant” value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use.  These Level 3 inputs include discount rates, capitalization rates, market rents and comparable sales data for similar properties.  Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.  In determining the “as-if-vacant” value for the properties we acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used discount rates ranging from 6.25% to 9.50% and capitalization rates ranging from of 5.25% to 7.50%.
In determining the fair value of intangible lease assets or liabilities, we also consider Level 3 inputs.  Acquired above- and below-market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases, if applicable.  The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the costs that would have been incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include the value associated with leasing commissions, legal and other costs, as well as the estimated period necessary to lease such property that would be incurred to lease the property to its occupancy level at the time of its acquisition. In determining the fair value of acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2017, we used an estimated average lease-up period ranging from six to eighteen months.
The difference between the fair value and the face value of debt assumed in connection with an acquisition is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to “interest expense” over the life of the debt assumed. The valuation of assumed liabilities is based on our estimate of the current market rates for similar liabilities in effect at the acquisition date.
Capitalization of Costs
We capitalize direct costs incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating and improving real estate assets as part of the investment basis. This includes certain general and administrative costs, including payroll, bonus and non-cash equity compensation of the personnel performing development, renovations and rehabilitation if such costs are identifiable to a specific activity to get the real estate asset ready for its intended use. During the development and construction periods of a project, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes and insurance costs. We cease capitalization of costs upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. If some portions of a project are substantially complete and ready for use and other portions have not yet reached that stage, we cease capitalizing costs on the completed portion of the project but continue to capitalize for the incomplete portion of the project. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred.
We capitalized interest costs of $0.5 million and $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.9 million and $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We capitalized real estate taxes and insurance costs aggregating $0.3 million and $0.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.6 million and $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We capitalized compensation costs for employees who provide construction services of $0.5 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

11



Depreciation and Amortization
Real estate, including land, building and land improvements, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible lease assets and liabilities are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless circumstances indicate that the cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value as discussed below in our policy with regards to impairment of long-lived assets. We estimate the depreciable portion of our real estate assets and related useful lives in order to record depreciation expense.
The values allocated to buildings, site improvements, in-place lease intangibles and tenant improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis using an estimated remaining life of 10-30 years for buildings, 5-20 years for site improvements, and the shorter of the estimated useful life or respective lease term for in-place lease intangibles and tenant improvements.
As discussed above in—Investments in Real Estate—Acquisitions, in connection with property acquisitions, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an acquired lease intangible asset or liability and amortized to “rental income” over the remaining term of the related leases.
Our estimate of the useful life of our assets is evaluated upon acquisition and when circumstances indicate a change in the useful life has occurred, which requires significant judgment regarding the economic obsolescence of tangible and intangible assets.
Deferred Leasing Costs
We capitalize costs directly related to the successful origination of a lease. These costs include leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals, as well as an allocation of compensation costs, including payroll, bonus and non-cash equity compensation of employees who spend time on lease origination activities. In determining the amount of compensation costs to be capitalized for these employees, allocations are made based on estimates of the actual amount of time spent working on successful leases in comparison to time spent on unsuccessful origination efforts. We capitalized compensation costs for these employees of $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.4 million and $0.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC Topic 360: Property, Plant, and Equipment, we assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable.
Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. The intent with regards to the underlying assets might change as market conditions and other factors change. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan used to manage our underlying business. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.
Assumptions and estimates used in the recoverability analyses for future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions or our intent with respect to our investment that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate properties.
Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities
Investment in unconsolidated real estate entities in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) are accounted for under the equity method of investment.  Under the equity method, we initially record our investment at cost, and subsequently adjust for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. Any difference between the carrying amount of these investments on the balance sheet and the underlying equity in net assets is amortized as an adjustment to equity in income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate entities over the life of the related asset. Under the

12



equity method of accounting, our net equity investment is reflected within the consolidated balance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint venture is included within the consolidated statements of operations.  Furthermore, distributions received from equity method investments are classified as either operating cash inflows or investing cash inflows in the consolidated statements of cash flows using the “nature of the distribution approach,” in which each distribution is evaluated on the basis of the source of the payment.  See Note 11.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2013. To qualify as a REIT, we are required (among other things) to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and were unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.
In addition, we are subject to taxation by various state and local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside. Our non-taxable REIT subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership, are either partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Under applicable federal and state income tax rules, the allocated share of net income or loss from disregarded entities and flow-through entities such as partnerships is reportable in the income tax returns of the respective equity holders. Accordingly, no income tax provision is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.
We periodically evaluate our tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we have not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
FASB ASC Topic 815: Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.
As required by ASC 815, we record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, and whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.  See Note 7.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize revenue from rent, tenant reimbursements and other revenue sources once all of the following criteria are met: persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the delivery has occurred or services rendered, the fee is fixed and determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. Minimum annual rental revenues are recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space.

13



Estimated reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period that the expenses are incurred. Subsequent to year-end, we perform final reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any cumulative annual adjustments. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations, are recognized when the related lease is canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenant.
Revenues from management, leasing and development services are recognized when the related services have been provided and earned.
The recognition of gains on sales of real estate requires us to measure the timing of a sale against various criteria related to the terms of the transaction, as well as any continuing involvement in the form of management or financial assistance associated with the property. If the sales criteria are not met, we defer gain recognition and account for the continued operations of the property by applying the finance, profit-sharing or leasing method. If the sales criteria have been met, we further analyze whether profit recognition is appropriate using the full accrual method. If the criteria to recognize profit using the full accrual method have not been met, we defer the gain and recognize it when the criteria are met or use the installment or cost recovery method as appropriate under the circumstances.
Valuation of Receivables
We may be subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of outstanding receivables. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on prospective tenants before significant leases are executed and on existing tenants before properties are acquired. We specifically analyze aged receivables, customer credit-worthiness, historical bad debts and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. As a result of our periodic analysis, we maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. This estimate requires significant judgment related to the lessees’ ability to fulfill their obligations under the leases. We believe our allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate for our outstanding receivables for the periods presented. If a tenant is insolvent or files for bankruptcy protection and fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances, which include amounts recognized as straight-line revenue not realizable until future periods.

Equity Based Compensation
We account for equity based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation - Stock Compensation.  Total compensation cost for all share-based awards is based on the estimated fair market value on the grant date. For share-based awards that vest based solely on a service condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award.  For share-based awards that vest based on a market or performance condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur. See Note 12.
Equity Offering Costs
Underwriting commissions and offering costs related to our common stock issuances have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Underwriting commissions and offering costs related to our preferred stock issuance have been reflected as a direct reduction of the preferred stock balance.
Earnings Per Share
We calculate earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Under ASC 260, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.
Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding determined for the basic EPS computation plus the effect of any dilutive securities. We include unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested LTIP units in the computation of diluted EPS by using the more dilutive of the two-class method or treasury stock method. We include unvested performance units as contingently issuable shares in the computation of diluted EPS once the market criteria are met, assuming that the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. See Note 13.
Segment Reporting
Management views the Company as a single reportable segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of ASUs to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.
On May 10, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting (“ASU 2017-09”), which clarifies the scope of modification accounting for share-based compensation arrangements by providing guidance on the types of changes to the terms and conditions of share-based compensation awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. ASU 2017-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. The ASU also requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification is used to evaluate whether the lease expense should be recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Additionally, ASU 2016-02 will require that lessees and lessors capitalize, as initial direct costs, only these costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. As a result, compensation costs related to employees who spend time on lease

15



origination activities, regardless of whether their time leads to a successful lease, will no longer be capitalized as initial direct costs and instead will be expensed as incurred. Lessors will continue to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our consolidated financial statements and notes to our consolidated financial statements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows arising from an entity’s contracts with customers. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity recognizes revenue to represent the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 does not apply to lease contracts within the scope of Leases (Topic 840) except to the extent the lease contract contains non-leasing components. For public entities, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods, including interim reporting periods within those periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. Early application is permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. ASU 2014-09 permits the use of either the full retrospective transition method or a modified retrospective transition method. We have formed an implementation project team and are currently working on the evaluation and implementation of the guidance as it relates to property management and leasing services revenue and other property-related revenues that may fall under the scope of ASU 2014-09. We expect to adopt ASU 2014-09 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective transition method.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements
On November 17, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”), which requires an entity’s reconciliation of the beginning of period and end of period amounts shown in the statement of cash flows to include with cash and cash equivalents, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents. ASU 2016-18 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We early adopted ASU 2016-18, effective January 1, 2017, with retrospective application to our consolidated statements of cash flows. Accordingly, we have included restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in our reconciliation of beginning of period and end of period amounts shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. As a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-18, changes in restricted cash are no longer presented as a separate line item within cash flows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows since we have included restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in our reconciliation of beginning and end of period amounts shown in our consolidated statements of cash flows. As a result, for the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had net cash used in investing activities of $223.4 million instead of $241.4 million as previously reported, since we had $18.0 million of restricted cash at June 30, 2016. This $18.0 million of restricted cash represented proceeds from the sale of two properties that were being held in a qualified intermediary account in anticipation of a 1031 Exchange.

On August 26, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses certain classification issues related to the statement of
cash flows, including: (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) contingent consideration payments made after a
business combination and (iii) distributions received from equity method investees. ASU 2016-15 is effective for public business entities for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted,
including adoption in an interim period. We early adopted ASU 2016-15, effective July 1, 2016, and elected, as part of the adoption, to classify distributions received from equity method investees under the “nature of the distribution approach,” in which each distribution is evaluated on the basis of the source of the payment and classified as either operating cash inflows or investing cash inflows. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 did not affect have a material impact on our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Loan Repayment
On March 20, 2017, we repaid the $9.7 million outstanding balance on the 1065 Walnut Street mortgage loan in advance of the February 1, 2019 maturity date. In connection with the repayment, we incurred prepayment fees of $0.2 million which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The loss on extinguishment of debt also includes the write-off of the unamortized debt premium of $0.2 million.
Amended Credit Agreement
On February 14, 2017, we amended our $300.0 million senior unsecured credit facility by entering into a second amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $450.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Amended Revolver") and a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the "Amended Term Loan"). The Amended Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 12, 2021, and has two six-month extension options available, and the Amended Term Loan is scheduled to mature on February 14, 2022. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we may request additional lender commitments up to an additional aggregate $550.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Amended Revolver, an increase to the Amended Term Loan, additional term loan tranches or any combination of the foregoing.
     Interest on the Amended Credit Agreement, is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that is based upon our leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that is based on our leverage ratio. The margins for the Amended Revolver range in amount from 1.10% to 1.50% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.10% to 0.50% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio. The margins for the Amended Term Loan range in amount from 1.20% to 1.70% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.20% to 0.70% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio.
     If we attain one additional investment grade rating by one or more of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s Investor Services to complement our current investment grade Fitch rating, we may elect to convert the pricing structure under the Amended Credit Agreement to be based on such rating. In that event, the margins for the Amended Revolver will range in amount from 0.825% to 1.55% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.55% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such rating. The margins for the Amended Term Loan will range in amount from 0.90% to 1.75% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.75% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such rating.
     In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Amended Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable facility fee, based upon our leverage ratio, on each lender's commitment amount under the Amended Revolver, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending on our leverage ratio. In the event that we convert the pricing structure to be based on an investment-grade rating, the applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.125% to 0.30%, depending on such rating.
The Amended Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and by substantially all of the current and to-be-formed subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that own an unencumbered property. The Amended Credit Agreement is not secured by the Company’s properties or by equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties.
The Amended Revolver and the Amended Term Loan may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.  Amounts borrowed under the Amended Term Loan and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

21



The Amended Credit Facility contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Amended Credit Facility and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Amended Credit Facility, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable. 
On June 30, 2017, we had $72.0 million outstanding under the Amended Revolver, leaving $278.0 million available for additional borrowings.  
Debt Covenants
The Amended Credit Facility, the $225 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$225 Million Term Loan Facility”) and the $100 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”), all include a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with, including the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis:
Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%;
For the Amended Credit Facility and the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%;
For the $100 Million Notes, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%;
Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%;
Maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $760,740,750, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2016;
Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to fixed charges of at least 1.50 to 1.0
Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%; and
Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.0
The Amended Credit Facility, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility and the $100 Million Notes also provide that our distributions may not exceed the greater of (i) 95.0% of our funds from operations or (ii) the amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT and avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax in any 12-month period.
Additionally, subject to the terms of the $100 Million Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, make-whole payment amount, or interest under the $100 Million Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Notes agreement, and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the make-whole payment amount on the outstanding Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers.
Our $60.0 million term loan contains a financial covenant that is tested on a quarterly basis, which requires us to maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.00.  
We were in compliance with all of our required quarterly debt covenants as of June 30, 2017.

Operating Leases

We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Operating expense reimbursements are reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as tenant reimbursements.
Future minimum base rent under operating leases as of June 30, 2017, is summarized as follows (in thousands):

Interest Rate Swaps
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions.  We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of our debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.  Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.  
Derivative Instruments
Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional value. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.  
The effective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is immediately recognized in earnings.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender within a specified time period, then we could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a merger or acquisition occurs that materially changes our creditworthiness in an adverse manner, we may be required to fully collateralize our obligations under the derivative instrument.

Fair Value Measurements
We have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.  ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances. 
ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement.  Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.  As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which

24



are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Recurring Measurements – Interest Rate Swaps
Currently, we use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. 
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.  In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties.  However, as of June 30, 2017, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, we have determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The table below sets forth the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, which we measure on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands).

     Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, rents and other receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and tenant security deposits approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.
The fair value of our notes payable was estimated by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, using currently available market rates, adjusted with a credit spread, and assuming the loans are outstanding through contractual maturity date.

Related Party Transactions
Howard Schwimmer
We engage in transactions with Howard Schwimmer, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, earning management fees and leasing commissions from entities controlled individually by Mr. Schwimmer. Fees and commissions earned from these entities are included in “Management, leasing and development services” in the consolidated statements of operations.  We recorded $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended in June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, in management, leasing and development services revenue.

Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Environmental
We generally will perform environmental site assessments at properties we are considering acquiring.  After the acquisition of such properties, we continue to monitor the properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions.  If at the time of acquisition, losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability.
On February 25, 2014, we acquired the property located at West 228th Street.  Before purchasing the property during the due diligence phase, we engaged a third party environmental consultant to perform various environmental site assessments to determine the presence of any environmental contaminants that might warrant remediation efforts. Based on their investigation, they determined that hazardous substances existed at the property and that additional assessment and remediation work would likely be required to satisfy regulatory requirements.  The total remediation costs were estimated to be $1.3 million, which includes remediation, processing and oversight costs.
To address the estimated costs associated with the environmental issues at the West 228th Street property, we entered into an Environmental Holdback Escrow Agreement (the “Holdback Agreement”) with the former owner, whereby $1.4 million was placed into an escrow account to be used to pay remediation costs.  To fund the $1.4 million, the escrow holder withheld $1.3 million of the purchase price, which would have otherwise been paid to the seller at closing, and the Company funded an additional $0.1 million. According to the Holdback Agreement, the seller has no liability or responsibility to pay for remediation costs in excess of $1.3 million.
As of June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we had a $1.1 million and $1.1 million contingent liability recorded in our consolidated balance sheets included in the line item “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” reflecting the estimated remaining cost to remediate environmental liabilities at West 228th Street that existed prior to the acquisition date.  As of

26



June 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, we also had a $1.1 million and $1.1 million corresponding indemnification asset recorded in our consolidated balance sheets included in the line item “Other assets,” reflecting the estimated costs we expect the former owner to cover pursuant to the Holdback Agreement.  
We expect that the resolution of the environmental matters relating to the above will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  However, we cannot assure you that we have identified all environmental liabilities at our properties, that all necessary remediation actions have been or will be undertaken at our properties or that we will be indemnified, in full or at all, in the event that such environmental liabilities arise.  Furthermore, we cannot assure you that future changes to environmental laws or regulations and their application will not give rise to loss contingencies for future environmental remediation.
Rent Expense
As of June 30, 2017, we lease a parcel of land that is currently being sub-leased to a tenant for a parking lot.  The ground lease is scheduled to expire on June 1, 2062. We recognized rental expense for our ground lease in the amount of $36 thousand and $36 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. As part of conducting our day-to-day business, we also lease office space under operating leases. We recognized rental expense for our corporate and satellite office leases in the amount of $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.  
The future minimum commitment under our ground lease and corporate and satellite office leases as of June 30, 2017, is as follows (in thousands):

     On September 14, 2016 (the “Effective Date”), we entered into a ground lease for approximately 1.58 million square feet of land located in Corona, California, with the intention to develop buildings on the site. Under the terms of the ground lease, we had up to 420 days from the Effective Date, subject to certain conditions, to satisfy and waive certain contingencies, or terminate the ground lease for any reason. On March 13, 2017, we terminated the ground lease. As a result of the termination, we wrote-off $0.3 million of previously incurred transaction costs to the line item “Acquisition expenses” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Tenant and Construction Related
As of June 30, 2017, we had commitments of approximately $11.9 million for tenant improvement and construction work under the terms of leases with certain of our tenants and contractual agreements with our construction vendors.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
We have deposited cash with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution.  Although we have deposits at institutions in excess of federally insured limits as of June 30, 2017, we do not believe we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the institutions in which those deposits are held.
As of June 30, 2017, all of our properties are located in the Southern California infill markets.  The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate.

27



During the six months ended June 30, 2017, no single tenant accounted for more than 5% of our total consolidated rental revenues.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities
    
On July 6, 2016, we acquired the property located at 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard (the “JV Property”) from our joint venture (the “JV”) for a contract price of $25.7 million. Prior to the acquisition, our ownership interest in the JV property was 15.0%. As a result of the acquisition, we own 100% of the JV property and are accounting for it on a consolidated basis.

Following the sale of the JV property, the JV distributed all of its available cash, with the exception of a small amount of working capital which was retained to cover any residual costs associated with the winding down of the JV. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the remaining assets were liquidated by the JV and we received a final distribution in the amount of $11 thousand which is reported in the line item “Equity in income from unconsolidated real estate entities” in the consolidated statements of operations.
Management Services
During the time that the JV owned the JV Property, we performed property and construction management services for the JV Property. We earned fees and commissions for these services totaling zero and $18 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and zero and $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, which are included in the line item “Management, leasing and development services” in the consolidated statements of operations.

12.
Equity
Common Stock
On June 12, 2017, we established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the “$150 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our common stock through sales agents.  The ATM Program replaces our previous $125.0 million at-the-market equity offering program, which was established on April 17, 2015 (the “$125 Million ATM Program”). As of June 30, 2017, all $125.0 million of shares of our common stock under the Prior ATM Program have been sold.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold 4,390,917 shares of our common stock under the $125 Million ATM Program, at a weighted average price of $26.35 per share, for gross proceeds of $115.7 million, and net proceeds of $114.0 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we also sold 176,244 shares of our common stock under the $150 Million ATM Program, at a weighted average price of $27.51 per share, for gross proceeds of $4.8 million, and net proceeds of $4.8 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. As of June 30, 2017, we had the capacity to issue up to an additional $145.2 million of common stock under the $150 Million ATM Program. Actual sales going forward, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us.
      Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership relate to interests in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by us. As of June 30, 2017, noncontrolling interests consisted of 1,932,816 OP Units and 41,668 fully-vested LTIP units and represented approximately 2.7% of our Operating Partnership. OP Units and shares of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our Operating Partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, 34,180 OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock, resulting in the reclassification of $0.3 million of noncontrolling interest to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc.’s stockholders’ equity.

2013 Incentive Award Plan
In July 2013, we established the Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), pursuant to which we may make grants of stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units, performance shares, LTIP units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“LTIP units”), performance units in our Operating Partnership (“Performance Units”), and other stock based and cash awards to our non-employee directors, employees and consultants. The aggregate number of shares of our common stock, LTIP units and Performance Units that may be issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan is 2,272,689 shares (of which 835,942 shares of common stock, LTIP units and Performance Units remain available for issuance as of June 30, 2017).
Shares of our restricted common stock generally may not be sold, pledged, assigned or transferred in any manner other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or, subject to the consent or the administrator of the Plan, a domestic relations order, unless and until all restrictions applicable to such shares have lapsed. Such restrictions generally expire upon vesting. Shares of our restricted common stock are participating securities and have full voting rights and nonforfeitable rights to dividends.
LTIP units and Performance Units are each a class of limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP units and performance units do not have full parity with OP Units with respect to liquidating distributions. However, upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the LTIP units and Performance Units can over time achieve full parity with the OP Units for all purposes. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP units and Performance Units may be converted into an equal number of OP Units, and, upon conversion, enjoy all rights of OP Units. LTIP Units, whether vested or not, receive the same quarterly per-unit distributions as OP Units, which equal the per-share distributions on shares of our common stock. Performance Units that have not vested receive a quarterly per-unit distribution equal to 10% of the distributions paid on OP Units.

The number of Performance Units that ultimately vest will be based on both the Company’s absolute TSR and TSR performance relative to a peer group over each three-year performance period. The maximum number of Performance Units will be earned under the awards if the Company both (i) achieves 50% or higher absolute TSR, inclusive of all dividends paid, over each performance period and (ii) finishes in the 75th or greater percentile of the peer group for TSR over each three-year performance period.

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are accounted for as participating securities. As such, unvested shares of restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units and unvested Performance Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and each participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities are also included in the computation of diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the two-class method or treasury stock method for unvested shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units, and by determining if certain market conditions have been met at the reporting date for unvested Performance Units.
The effect of including unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested LTIP Units using the treasury stock method was excluded from our calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. 
Performance Units, which are subject to vesting based on the Company outperforming certain absolute and relative TSR levels over a three-year performance period, are included as contingently issuable shares in the calculation of diluted EPS when TSR has been achieved at or above the threshold levels specified in the award agreements, assuming the reporting period is the end of the performance period, and the effect is dilutive. As of June 30, 2017, for the performance awards granted in 2015, the Company’s TSR performance relative to a designated peer group was above the 75th percentile, or maximum level, and the Company’s absolute TSR was above the maximum level. As of June 30, 2017, for the performance awards granted in 2016, the Company’s TSR performance relative to a designated peer group was above the 75th percentile, or maximum level, and the Company’s absolute TSR was below the threshold level. The corresponding number of dilutive securities have been included in the computation of the weighted average diluted shares above, since they were more dilutive than using the two-class method of computing EPS.

31



We also consider the effect of other potentially dilutive securities, including OP Units, which may be redeemed for shares of our common stock under certain circumstances, and include them in our computation of diluted EPS when their inclusion is dilutive.

Subsequent Events
Acquisitions
On July 3, 2017, we acquired a property located at 3002-3072 Inland Empire Boulevard in Ontario, California for a contract price of $26.9 million using cash proceeds drawn from our Amended Revolver. The property consists of four multi-tenant building totaling 218,407 rentable square feet.

Note Purchase Agreement
On July 13, 2017, we entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “NPGA”) which provides for the private placement of $125.0 million of our Operating Partnership’s senior guaranteed notes, maturing on July 13, 2027, with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.93% (the “$125 Million Notes”). On July 13, 2017, we completed the issuance of the $125 Million Notes.
Interest on the $125 Million Notes will be payable quarterly on the thirteenth day of January, April, July and October in each year, commencing on October 13, 2017.

Company Overview
Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service REIT focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013, and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate principally located in Southern California infill markets, and, from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and generally are not subject to federal taxes on our income to the extent we distribute our income to our shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.
As of June 30, 2017, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 139 properties with approximately 16.2 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage an additional 19 properties with approximately 1.2 million rentable square feet.  
Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders by providing superior access to industrial property investments and mortgage debt secured by industrial property in high-barrier Southern California infill markets. Our target markets provide us with opportunities to acquire both stabilized properties generating favorable cash flow, as well as properties where we can enhance returns through value-add renovations and redevelopment. Scarcity of available space and high barriers limiting new construction all contribute to create superior long-term supply/demand fundamentals within our target infill Southern California industrial property markets. With our vertically integrated platform and extensive value-add investment and management capabilities, we believe we are in a position to take advantage of the opportunities in our markets to achieve our objectives.
2017 Year to Date Highlights
Acquisitions
During the first quarter of 2017, we acquired one property with 0.1 million rentable square feet, for a gross purchase price of $17.1 million.
During the second quarter of 2017, we acquired an industrial business park consisting of 16 buildings totaling approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet, for a gross purchase price of $141.2 million. We also acquired four additional properties with a combined 0.5 million rentable square feet, for a total gross purchase price of $83.0 million.
Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we acquired five properties with a combined 1.8 million rentable square feet, for a total gross purchase price of $285.7 million.
Repositioning
During the second quarter of 2017, we completed the lease-up of two of our value-add repositioning properties located at 679-691 Anderson Street and 18118 Broadway Street.
Dispositions
During the first quarter of 2017, we sold one property with 0.1 million rentable square feet, for a gross sales price of $6.9 million.
During the second quarter of 2017, we sold two properties with a combined 0.5 million rentable square feet, for a total gross sales price of $58.8 million. Net cash proceeds of $39.7 million from one of the dispositions were used to partially fund the acquisition of the industrial business park noted above, as part of a 1031 Exchange transactions.
Financing
In February 2017, we entered into an agreement for a $450 million senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility that will mature in February 2021, with two six-month extensions available, and a $100 million unsecured term loan facility that will mature in February 2022. Borrowings under the $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin that will range from 1.10% to 1.50% per annum depending on our leverage ratio, and the $100 million unsecured term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus an applicable margin that will range from 1.20% to 1.70% per annum depending on our leverage ratio.
In March 2017, we repaid the $9.7 million outstanding balance on one of our secured mortgage loans in advance of the February 1, 2019 maturity date.

35



In July 2017, we completed a private placement of $125 million 10-year senior notes at a fixed annual interest rate of 3.93%
Equity
During the first quarter of 2017, we sold 168,685 shares of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program for gross proceeds of $3.9 million, or approximately $23.16 per share.
During the second quarter of 2017, we sold 4,398,476 shares of common stock under our at-the-market equity offering program for gross proceeds of $116.6 million, or approximately $26.52 per share.
Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations    
Market Fundamentals
Our operating results depend upon the infill Southern California industrial real estate market.
The infill Southern California industrial real estate sector has continued to exhibit strong fundamentals. These high-barrier infill markets are characterized by a relative scarcity of available product, operating at above 98% occupancy, coupled with limited ability to introduce new supply due to high land and development costs and a dearth of developable land in markets experiencing a net reduction in supply as more industrial property is converted to non-industrial uses than can be delivered. Consequently, available industrial supply continues to decrease in many of our target infill submarkets, landlord concessions are reducing and construction deliveries are falling short of demand. Meanwhile, underlying tenant demand within our infill markets continues to demonstrate growth, illustrated or driven by strong re-leasing spreads, an expanding regional population, substantial growth in e-commerce transaction and delivery volumes, as well as further compression of delivery time-frames to consumers and to businesses, increasing the significance of last-mile facilities for timely fulfillment. Despite potential concerns related to global growth, possible changes to trade and tariff policies and the threat of rising interest rates, we continue to observe a number of positive trends within our target infill markets that we expect will continue through the remainder of 2017.
In Los Angeles County, strong positive market trends continued into the second quarter of 2017, as market occupancy maintained historic highs and asking lease rates increased quarter-over-quarter. We expect that rents will continue the upward trend and increase throughout the remainder of 2017, as occupancy is at near capacity levels and new development is limited by a lack of land availability and an increase in land and development costs.
In Orange County, industrial fundamentals remained positive as rents continued their upward trend and vacancy in the market slightly decreased quarter-over-quarter.  We expect that strong tenant demand coupled with the continued low availability of industrial product in this region, primarily due to re-zoning of available land to residential or mixed-use, will cause leasing rates to continue to grow during the remainder of 2017.
In San Diego, the market fundamentals continued to be strong during the second quarter of 2017. Asking lease rates remained steady during the second quarter after reaching a record high during the first quarter of 2017, and overall vacancy in the market decreased slightly quarter-over-quarter.
In Ventura County, occupancy remains at historically high levels and there was a slight decrease in vacancy quarter-over-quarter, while asking lease rates were unchanged quarter-over-quarter.
Lastly, in the Inland Empire, new industrial product continues to be absorbed well in the market.  In the Inland Empire West, which contains the infill markets in which we operate, vacancy remains at historically low levels and asking lease rates were unchanged quarter-over-quarter. We expect the outlook for the Inland Empire West to remain positive throughout the remainder of 2017. We generally do not focus on properties located within the Inland Empire East sub-market where the development and construction pipeline for new supply is substantial.
Acquisitions and Redevelopment of Properties
The Company’s growth strategy comprises acquiring leased, stabilized properties as well as properties with value-add opportunities to improve functionality and to deploy our value-driven asset management programs in order to increase cash flow and value. A key component of our growth strategy is to acquire properties through off-market and lightly marketed transactions that are often operating at below-market occupancy or below-market rent at the time of acquisition or that have near-term lease roll-over or that provide opportunities to add-value through functional or physical repositioning and improvements.  Through various redevelopment, repositioning, and professional leasing and marketing strategies, we seek to increase the properties’ functionality and attractiveness to prospective tenants and, over time, to stabilize the properties at occupancy rates that meet or exceed market rates.  

36



A repositioning can consist of a range of improvements to a property.  This may include a complete structural renovation of a property whereby we convert large underutilized spaces into a series of smaller and more functional spaces, or it may include the creation of additional square footage, the modernization of the property site, the elimination of functional obsolescence, the addition or enhancement of loading areas and truck access, the enhancement of fire-life-safety systems or other accretive improvements.  Because each repositioning effort is unique and determined based on the property, targeted tenants and overall trends in the general market and specific submarket, the timing and effect of the repositioning on our rental revenue and occupancy levels will vary, and, as a result, will affect the comparison of our results of operations from period to period with limited predictability.
As of June 30, 2017, seven of our properties were in various stages of redevelopment and repositioning and two of our properties were in the lease-up stage. The table below sets forth a summary of these nine properties, as well as one future repositioning project that we will begin in the near term, and two properties that were fully leased during the second quarter of 2017. In addition to the properties in the table below, we also have a range of smaller spaces in value-add repositioning or renovation, which, due to their smaller size, are not presented below, however, in the aggregate, may be substantial.

The estimated construction period is subject to change as a result of a number of factors including but not limited to permit requirements, delays in construction, changes in scope, and other unforeseen circumstances.
(2)
The total property rentable square feet in the table above reflects the square footage of the existing building that was acquired. Upon completion of the project, the property will be approximately 200,000 square feet, which reflects an increase in square footage from the construction of two additional buildings on the excess land.

37



(3)
The property located at 301-445 Figueroa has 14 units which will be repositioned in various phases, beginning with four units aggregating 49,346 RSF that are currently vacant. The estimated construction and stabilization periods presented above reflect the completion of these four units as well as planned exterior work.
(4)
The total property rentable square feet in the table above reflects the square footage of the building that was acquired. Upon completion of the project, the property will be approximately 224,000 square feet, which reflects an increase in square footage from the construction of one additional building on the excess land.
(5)
The property located at 228th Street includes eight buildings, of which three buildings aggregating 23,749 rentable square feet were under repositioning as of June 30, 2017.
(6)
9615 Norwalk has 10.26 acres of partially paved storage yard/industrial land that is under a month-to-month lease as of June 30, 2017. We plan to construct a new building with approximately 200,000 rentable square feet after the lease is terminated.

Properties that are nonoperational as a result of repositioning or redevelopment activity may qualify for varying levels of interest, insurance and real estate tax capitalization during the development and construction period. An increase in our repositioning and development activities resulting from value-add acquisitions could cause an increase in the asset balances qualifying for interest, insurance and tax capitalization in future periods.  We capitalized $0.5 million and $0.9 million of interest expense and $0.3 million and $0.6 million of insurance and real estate tax expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, related to our repositioning and redevelopment projects.
Rental Revenues
Our operating results depend primarily upon generating rental revenue from the properties in our consolidated portfolio.  The amount of rental revenue generated by these properties is affected by our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and rental rates at our properties, which will depend upon our ability to lease vacant space and re-lease expiring space at favorable rates.
Occupancy Rates 
As of June 30, 2017, our consolidated portfolio, inclusive of space in repositioning as described in the subsequent paragraph, was approximately 91.4% occupied, while our stabilized consolidated portfolio exclusive of such space was approximately 96.5% occupied. We believe the opportunity to increase occupancy at our properties will be an important driver of future revenue growth. An opportunity to drive this growth will derive from the lease-up of recently completed repositioning projects and the completion and lease-up of repositioning projects that are currently under construction and planned for near-term construction. 
As summarized in the table under “Acquisitions and Redevelopment of Properties” above, as of June 30, 2017, nine of our properties with a combined 0.9 million vacant rentable square feet, were in various stages of redevelopment, repositioning or lease-up. Vacant repositioning space and lease-up space at these nine properties are concentrated in our Los Angeles, Orange County and Ventura markets, and represent 5.3% of our total consolidated portfolio square footage as of June 30, 2017. Including vacant repositioning space and lease-up space at these nine properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of June 30, 2017, in Los Angeles, Orange County and Ventura was 90.5%, 92.0% and 83.1%, respectively. Excluding vacant repositioning space and lease-up space at these nine properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of June 30, 2017, in these markets was 98.5%, 97.0% and 90.9%, respectively. We believe that a significant portion of our long-term future growth will come from the completion of these projects currently under repositioning as well as from the identification of new opportunities for redevelopment and repositioning, whether in our existing portfolio or through new investments, which may vary from period to period subject to market conditions.

(1)
Effective rent per square foot is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease, expressed in dollars per square foot per year. Includes all new and renewal leases that were executed during the quarter.
(2)
Calculated as the change between GAAP rents for new or renewal leases and the expiring GAAP rents on the expiring leases for the same space.
(3)
Calculated as the change between cash rents for new or renewal leases and the expiring cash rents on the expiring leases for the same space.
(4)
The GAAP and cash re-leasing spreads for new leases executed during the six months ended June 30, 2017, exclude 32 leases aggregating 212,635 rentable square feet for which space was vacant when the property was acquired or there was no comparable lease data. Comparable leases generally exclude: (i) space that has never been occupied under our ownership, (ii) recently repositioned/redeveloped space, (iii) space that has been vacant for over one year, (iv) space with different lease structures (for example, a change from a gross lease to a modified gross lease or an increase or decrease in the leased square footage) or (v) space with lease terms shorter than six months.
(5)
The GAAP and cash re-leasing rent spreads for renewal leases executed during the six months ended June 30, 2017, exclude 3 leases aggregating 16,499 rentable square feet for which space was vacant when the property was acquired or there was no comparable lease data. Comparable leases generally exclude: (i) space with different lease structures or (ii) space with lease terms shorter than six months.
(6)
Includes four leases with 442,654 rentable square feet that expired during the six months ended June 30, 2017, for which the space was placed into repositioning after each tenant vacated.
(7)
Retention is calculated as renewal lease square footage plus relocation/expansion square footage, divided by the square footage of leases expiring during the period. Retention excludes leases associated with space that is placed into repositioning after the tenant vacates.
Our leasing activity is impacted both by our redevelopment and repositioning efforts, as well as by market conditions. While we reposition a property, its space may become unavailable for leasing until completion of our repositioning efforts. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we completed the lease-up of two of our value-add repositioning properties located at 679-691 Anderson Street and 18118 Broadway Street, and as of as of June 30, 2017, we have two additional properties in the lease-up stage. We also have four repositioning projects with construction completion periods estimated for the third quarter of 2017, and four additional projects where we have commenced repositioning work and that have construction completion periods ranging from the fourth quarter of 2017 to the fourth quarter of 2018. We expect these properties to have positive

impacts on our leasing activity and revenue generation as we complete our value-add repositioning plan and place these properties in service.

Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the relative desirability of our individual properties, which may impact our results of operations. The following table sets forth a summary schedule of lease expirations for leases in place as of June 30, 2017, for each of the ten full and partial calendar years beginning with 2017 and thereafter, plus space that is available and under current repositioning.

(1)
Represents the contracted square footage upon expiration.
(2)
Calculated as monthly contracted base rent (in thousands) per the terms of such lease, as of June 30, 2017, multiplied by 12. Excludes billboard and antenna revenue and rent abatements.
(3)
Calculated as annualized base rent set forth in this table divided by annualized base rent for the total portfolio as of June 30, 2017.
(4)
Calculated as annualized base rent for such leases divided by the leased square feet for such leases as of June 30, 2017.
(5)
Represents space at seven of our properties that were classified as current repositioning as of June 30, 2017. Refer to the table under “Acquisitions and Redevelopment of Properties” for a summary of these properties.
(6)
Represents tenants under month-to-month (“MTM”) leases or having holdover tenancy.  Includes 61 MTM leases aggregating 62,590 rentable square feet at our property located at 14723-14825 Oxnard Street, where due to number and the small size of spaces, we typically only enter into MTM leases.
As of June 30, 2017, in addition to 0.6 million rentable square feet of currently available space in our portfolio and 0.7 million rentable square feet of vacant space under repositioning, leases representing 8.7% and 13.9% of the aggregate rentable square footage of our portfolio are scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2017 and 2018, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we renewed 161 leases for 909,368 rentable square feet, resulting in a 62.6% retention rate. Our retention rate during the period was impacted by our strategy to roll certain tenants at below-market rents and to replace them with higher quality tenants paying higher rents. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, new and renewal leases had a weighted average term of 4.4 and 3.4 years, respectively, and we expect future new and renewal leases to have similar terms.
The leases scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2017 and 2018 represent approximately 9.5% and 15.5% respectively, of the total annualized base rent for our portfolio as of June 30, 2017. We estimate that, on a weighted average basis, in-place rents of leases scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2017 and 2018 are currently below current market asking rents, although individual units or properties within any particular submarket may currently be leased either above, below, or at the current market asking rates within that submarket. As described in the above Market Fundamentals section, we expect market dynamics to remain strong into the foreseeable future and these positive trends provide a favorable environment for additional increases in lease renewal rates. Accordingly, we expect the remainder of 2017 will show positive renewal rates

40



and leasing spreads. We also expect that 2018 lease expirations will show positive growth upon renewal; however, it is difficult to predict market conditions that far into the future.
Property Expenses
Our property expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, site repair and maintenance costs, and the allocation of overhead costs. For the majority of our properties, our property expenses are recovered, in part, by either the triple net provisions or modified gross expense reimbursements in tenant leases. The majority of our leases also comprise contractual three percent annual rental rate increases meant, in part, to help mitigate potential increases in property expenses over time. However, the terms of our leases vary, and, in some instances, we may absorb property expenses. Our overall financial results will be impacted by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property expenses to our tenants.
Taxable REIT Subsidiary
As of June 30, 2017, our Operating Partnership indirectly and wholly owns Rexford Industrial Realty and Management, Inc., which we refer to as the services company.  We have elected, together with our services company, to treat our services company as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes. A taxable REIT subsidiary generally may provide non-customary and other services to our tenants and engage in activities that we may not engage in directly without adversely affecting our qualification as a REIT, provided a taxable REIT subsidiary may not operate or manage a lodging facility or health care facility or provide rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated. We may form additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future, and our Operating Partnership may contribute some or all of its interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries or their assets to our services company. Any income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not be included in our taxable income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests, except to the extent such income is distributed to us as a dividend, in which case such dividend income will qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. Because a taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax, and state and local income tax (where applicable) as a regular corporation, the income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally will be subject to an additional level of tax as compared to the income earned by our other subsidiaries.  Our taxable REIT subsidiary is a C-corporation subject to federal and state income tax, however it has a cumulative unrecognized net operation loss carryforward and therefore there is no income tax provision for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies
In our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have not made any material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this report.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may affect the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those of other companies. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our accounting policies.

Results of Operations
Our consolidated results of operations are often not comparable from period to period due to the effect of property acquisitions and dispositions completed during the comparative reporting periods.  Our “Total Portfolio” represents all of the properties owned during the reported periods.  To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to acquisitions and dispositions and to highlight the operating results of our on-going business, we have separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”  
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our Same Properties Portfolio includes all properties in our industrial portfolio that were wholly-owned by us as of January 1, 2016, and still owned by us as of June 30, 2017, which consisted of 114 properties aggregating approximately 11.2 million rentable square feet. Results for our Same Properties Portfolio exclude the joint venture property disposed of during 2016, any properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2016, through June 30, 2017, interest income from our note receivable, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses. In addition to the properties included in our Same Properties Portfolio, our Total Portfolio

41



includes the 26 properties aggregating approximately 5.1 million rentable square feet that were purchased between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, and the eight properties aggregating approximately 0.9 million rentable square feet that were sold between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.
As of June 30, 2017 and 2016, our Same Properties Portfolio occupancy was approximately 93.5% and 91.5%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, our Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 93.3% and 91.1%, respectively.  Comparatively, our Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 93.8% and 91.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Rental Income
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental income increased by $1.9 million, or 8.4%, and $5.0 million, or 19.2%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio rental income is primarily due to the increase in the weighted average occupancy of the portfolio for comparable periods, which was driven by the completion of repositioning work and subsequent lease-up of space at six of our properties subsequent to June 30, 2016, as well as the increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases. Our Total Portfolio rental income was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.
Tenant Reimbursements
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $0.4 million, or 11.4%, and $1.1 million, or 25.6%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursements is primarily due to an increase in recoverable operating expenses and timing differences in completing prior year recoverable expense reconciliations for comparable periods and an increase in the weighted average occupancy for comparable periods, which was driven by the completion of repositioning work and subsequent lease-up of space at six of our properties subsequent to June 30, 2016. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental reimbursements from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017.
Other Income
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income decreased by $0.1 million, or 61.4%, and $0.1 million, or 55.6%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a decrease in late fee income.
Management, Leasing and Development Services
Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue increased by $34 thousand, or 30.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in fees and commissions earned from managing properties not owned by us (see Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements for additional details), partially offset by a decrease in management fees from the joint venture as a result of the sale of the final joint venture property in July 2016.
Interest Income
Interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2017, relates to a $6.0 million mortgage loan that we made on July 1, 2016, which was subsequently repaid on June 23, 2017. The loan was secured by an industrial property located in Rancho Cucamonga, California and bore interest at 10.0% per annum. See Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Property Expenses
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio property expenses increased by $0.9 million, or 12.7%, and $1.6 million, or 19.8%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio property expenses is primarily due to an increase in repairs and maintenance expense and overhead costs for comparable periods and non-comparable insurance reimbursements received during the three months ended June 30, 2016. Our Total Portfolio property expenses was also impacted by incremental expenses from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.
General and Administrative
Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 13.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to a $0.4 million increase in non-cash equity compensation expense primarily related to equity grants made in December 2016, and a $0.2 million increase in payroll and employment related costs primarily due to an increase in headcount.

43



Depreciation and Amortization
Our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $0.6 million, or 5.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to acquired lease related intangible assets for several of our properties becoming fully depreciated after June 30, 2016, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements completed subsequent to January 1, 2016. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.9 million, or 15.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the incremental expense from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, partially offset by the decrease in our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense noted above.
Acquisition Expenses
Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses decreased by $0.6 million, or 96.9%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, due to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), effective January 1, 2017. See Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements for additional details. Under ASU 2017-01, the five properties that we acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2017, were accounted for as asset acquisitions, and the related acquisition costs were capitalized as part of the purchase price of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis. In comparison, the 11 properties that we acquired during the three months ended June 30, 2016, were accounted for as business combinations, and the related acquisition costs were expensed as incurred.
Interest Expense
Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $0.6 million, or 15.8%, during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the increase in our average outstanding debt balance as well as an increase in the average LIBOR rate for comparable periods. The increase in our average outstanding debt balance was primarily due to an increase in borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility as well as the exercise of the $100 million accordion feature on our $225 million term loan facility during three months ended June 30, 2016. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest from the 1065 Walnut Street mortgage loan, which we prepaid in advance of maturity on March 20, 2017.
Equity in Income from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities
Our Total Portfolio equity in income from unconsolidated real estate entities decreased by $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016, due to the acquisition of the remaining 85% ownership interest in the property located at 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard from our joint venture (the “JV”) on July 6, 2016.
Gains on Sale of Real Estate
During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $16.6 million from the disposition of our properties located at 2535 Midway Drive and 2811 Harbor Boulevard. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $11.6 million from the disposition of our properties located at 6010 North Paramount Boulevard, 1840 Dana Street and 12910 East Mulberry Drive.

Rental Income
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental income increased $3.3 million, or 7.4%, and $11.1 million, or 22.4%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio is primarily due to the increase in the weighted average occupancy of the portfolio for comparable periods which was driven by the completion of repositioning work and subsequent lease-up of space at six of our properties subsequent to January 1, 2016, as well as the increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases. Our Total Portfolio rental income was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017.

45



Tenant Reimbursements
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased $0.8 million, or 11.9%, and $2.7 million, or 34.5%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue is primarily due to timing differences in completing prior year recoverable expense reconciliations for comparable periods, an increase in recoverable operating expenses and an increase in the weighted average occupancy of the portfolio for comparable periods, which was driven by the completion of repositioning work and subsequent lease-up of space at six of our properties subsequent to June 30, 2016. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental reimbursements from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016 and June 30, 2017.
Other Income
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income decreased $0.1 million, or 28.1%, and $0.2 million, or 39.3%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease in our Same Properties Portfolio other income is primarily due to a decrease in late fee income. The decrease in Total Portfolio other income is primarily due to the decrease in filming income at one of our properties and a decrease in late fee income.
Management, Leasing and Development Services
Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue increased by $26 thousand, or 10.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to an increase in fees and commissions earned from managing properties not owned by us, partially offset by a decrease in management fees from the JV as a result of the sale of the final joint venture property in July 2016.
Interest Income
Interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2017, relates to the $6.0 million mortgage loan that we made on July 1, 2016, which was subsequently repaid on June 23, 2017. The loan was secured by an industrial property located in Rancho Cucamonga, California and bore interest at 10.0% per annum. See Note 2 in the consolidated financial statements for additional details.
Property Expenses
Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio property expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 8.4%, and $3.3 million, or 21.0%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio property expenses is primarily due to an increase in overhead costs and repairs and maintenance expense for comparable periods and non-comparable insurance reimbursements received during the six months ended June 30, 2016.  Our Total Portfolio property expenses were also impacted by the incremental expenses from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017.
General and Administrative
Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased $2.1 million, or 25.7%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase is primarily due to the following: (i) a $0.8 million increase in non-cash equity compensation expense primarily due to equity grants made in December 2016, (ii) a non-comparable $0.6 million insurance reimbursement of legal fees related to prior litigation received during the six months ended June 30, 2016, (iii) a $0.5 million increase in payroll and employment related costs, (iv) a $0.2 million increase in bonus expense, and (v) a $0.2 million increase in other various expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.2 million decrease in professional services and consulting fees.

46



Depreciation and Amortization
Our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased $1.3 million, or 6.1%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to acquired lease related intangible assets for several of our properties becoming fully depreciated during the six months ended June 30, 2017, and the year ended December 31, 2016, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.3 million, or 18.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to incremental expense from the 26 properties we acquired between January 1, 2016, and June 30, 2017, and an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements, partially offset by the decrease in our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense noted above.
Acquisition Expenses
Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses decreased by $0.7 million, or 63.5%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, primarily due to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, effective January 1, 2017. Under ASU 2017-01, the six properties that we acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2017, were accounted for as asset acquisitions, and the related acquisition costs were capitalized as part of the purchase price of the acquisition on a relative fair value basis. In comparison, the 13 properties that we acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2016, were accounted for as business combinations, and the related acquisition costs were expensed as incurred. The decrease in acquisition expenses due to the adoption of ASU 2017-01, was partially offset by an increase resulting from the write-off of previously incurred transaction costs related to the termination of a ground lease in March 2017 (see Note 10 in the consolidated financial statements for additional details).
Interest Expense
Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $1.3 million, or 19.1%, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016.  This was primarily due to the increase in our average outstanding debt balance as well as an increase in the average LIBOR rate for comparable periods. The increase in our average outstanding debt balance was primarily due to the $225 million term loan facility we entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2016, as well as an increase in borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in interest expense from the 1065 Walnut Street mortgage loan, which we prepaid in advance of maturity on March 20, 2017.
Equity in Income from Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities
Our Total Portfolio equity in income from unconsolidated real estate entities decreased by $0.1 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016, due to the acquisition of the remaining 85% ownership interest in the property located at 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard from the JV on July 6, 2016.
Loss on Extinguishment of Debt
On March 20, 2017, we repaid the mortgage loan secured by the property located at 1065 E. Walnut Avenue in advance of the maturity date of February 1, 2019. The loss on extinguishment of debt of $22 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2017, represents $0.2 million of prepayment penalties, partially offset by the $0.2 million write-off of the unamortized loan premium.
Gains on Sale of Real Estate
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $19.2 million from the disposition of our properties located at 9375 Archibald Avenue, 2535 Midway Drive and 2811 Harbor Boulevard. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $11.6 million from the disposition of our properties located at 6010 North Paramount Boulevard, 1840 Dana Street and 12910 East Mulberry Drive.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: Funds From Operations
We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholder in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and asset impairments, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to FFO (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: NOI and Cash NOI
Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure which includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties.  NOI is calculated as total revenue from real estate operations including i) rental income ii) tenant reimbursements, and iii) other income less property expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization). We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, gains (or losses) on sale of real estate and other non-operating items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.  We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs’ NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.  
NOI on a cash-basis (“Cash NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting from NOI i) fair value lease revenue and ii) straight-line rental revenue adjustments. We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
The following table sets forth the revenue and expense items comprising NOI and the adjustments to calculate Cash NOI (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: EBITDA
We believe that earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. However, our industry peers may not calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our EBITDA may not be comparable to our peers’ EBITDA. Accordingly, EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses, interest expense, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and distributions to our common and preferred stockholders and holders of common units of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash on hand, cash flow from operations, by drawing on our unsecured revolving credit facility and by issuing shares of common stock pursuant to the ATM Program described below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through net cash flow from operations, proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings, borrowings available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, the issuance of equity securities, including preferred stock, and proceeds from selective real estate dispositions as we identify capital recycling opportunities.  
As of June 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents were $13.1 million and we had $72.0 million outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, leaving $278.0 million available for future borrowings.  
Sources of Liquidity
Cash Flow from Operations
Cash flow from operations is one of our key sources of liquidity and is primarily dependent upon: (i) the occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, (ii) our ability to collect rent, (iii) the level of operating costs we incur and (iv) our ability to pass through operating expenses to our tenants. We are subject to a number of risks related to general economic and other unpredictable conditions, which have the potential to affect our overall performance and resulting cash flows from operations.  However, based on our current portfolio mix and business strategy, we anticipate that we will be able to generate positive cash flows from operations.
ATM Program
On June 12, 2017, we established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the “$150 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our common stock through sales agents.  The $150 Million ATM Program replaces our previous $125.0 million at-the-market equity offering program, which was established on April 17, 2015 (the “$125 Million ATM Program”). All $125.0 million of shares of our common stock under the $125 Million ATM Program have been sold.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold 4,390,917 shares of our common stock under the $125 Million ATM Program, at a weighted average price of $26.35 per share, for gross proceeds of $115.7 million, and net proceeds of $114.0 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold 176,244 shares of our common stock under the $150 Million ATM Program, at a weighted average price of $27.51 per share, for gross proceeds of $4.8 million, and net proceeds of $4.8 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. As of June 30, 2017, we had the capacity to issue up to an additional $145.2 million of common stock under the $150 Million ATM Program.
Future sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and capital needs. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of shares under the $150 Million ATM Program, if any, to fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay amounts outstanding from time to time under our unsecured revolving credit facility or other debt financing obligations, to fund our development or redevelopment activities and/or for general corporate purposes.
Equity Offerings
We evaluate the capital markets on an ongoing basis for opportunities to raise capital, and as circumstances warrant, we may issue additional securities, from time to time, to fund acquisitions, for the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Any future issuance, however, is dependent upon market conditions, available pricing and capital needs and there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities.

51



Capital Recycling
We continuously evaluate opportunities for the potential disposition of properties in our portfolio when we believe such disposition is appropriate in view of our business objectives. In evaluating these opportunities, we consider a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, local market conditions and lease rates, asset type and location, as well as potential uses of proceeds and tax considerations. Tax considerations include entering into tax-deferred like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1031 Exchange”), when possible, to defer some or all of the taxable gains, if any, on dispositions.
During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we completed the sale of three of our properties located at 9375 Archibald Avenue, 2535 Midway Drive and 2811 Harbor Boulevard for an aggregate gross sales price of $65.6 million and net cash proceeds of $64.4 million. Total net cash proceeds of $46.3 million from two of the dispositions were used to partially fund the acquisition of two properties as part of two 1031 Exchange transactions.
We anticipate continuing to selectively and opportunistically dispose of properties, however, the timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of selective properties on advantageous terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable.
Amended Credit Agreement
On February 14, 2017, we amended our $300 million unsecured credit facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”) by entering into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Amended Credit Agreement”), which provides for a $450.0 million senior unsecured credit facility, comprised of a $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Amended Revolver") and a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the "Amended Term Loan"). The Amended Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 12, 2021, and has two six-month extension options available for a maximum maturity date of February 14, 2022, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an additional fee. The Amended Term Loan is scheduled to mature on February 14, 2022. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement, we may request additional lender commitments up to an additional aggregate $550.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Amended Revolver, an increase to the Amended Term Loan, additional term loan tranches or any combination of the foregoing.
Interest on the Amended Credit Agreement, is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that is based upon our leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that is based on our leverage ratio. The margins for the Amended Revolver range in amount from 1.10% to 1.50% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.10% to 0.50% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio. The margins for the Amended Term Loan range in amount from 1.20% to 1.70% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.20% to 0.70% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio.
If we attain one additional investment grade rating by one or more of Standard & Poor’s or Moody’s Investor Services to complement our current investment grade Fitch rating, we may elect to convert the pricing structure under the Amended Credit Agreement to be based on such rating. In that event, the margins for the Amended Revolver will range in amount from 0.825% to 1.550% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.55% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such rating. The margins for the Amended Term Loan will range in amount from 0.90% to 1.75% for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.75% for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such ratings.
     In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Amended Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable facility fee, based upon our leverage ratio, on the aggregate amount of each lender's Revolving Credit Commitment (whether or not such Revolving Credit Commitment is drawn), as defined in the Amended Credit Agreement. The applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.15% to 0.30%, depending on our leverage ratio. In the event that we convert the pricing structure to be based on an investment-grade rating, the applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.125% to 0.30%, depending on such rating.
The Amended Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company and by substantially all of the current and to-be-formed subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that own an unencumbered property. The Amended Credit Agreement is not secured by the Company’s properties or by equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties.
The Amended Revolver and the Amended Term Loan may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.  Amounts borrowed under the Amended Term Loan and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.
The Amended Credit Facility contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Amended Credit Facility and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of

52



default occurs and is continuing under the Amended Credit Facility, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable.  
As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we had borrowings of $234.0 million outstanding under the Amended Revolver, leaving $116.0 million available for future borrowings.
Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement
On July 13, 2017, we entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “NPGA”) for the private placement of $125.0 million of senior guaranteed notes, maturing on July 13, 2027, with a fixed annual interest rate of 3.93% (the “$125 Million Notes”), and interest payable quarterly, commencing on October 13, 2017. On July 13, 2017, we completed the issuance of the $125 Million Notes. The proceeds were used to partially fund the acquisition of a property comprised of six multi-tenant buildings totaling 1.2 million rentable square feet with a contract price of $210.5 million.
Investment Grade Rating
During 2015, we obtained investment grade ratings of BBB- from Fitch Ratings on our Prior Credit Facility and $100 million guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”). In April 2016, we also obtained the same rating on our $225 million term loan facility (the “$225 Million Term Loan Facility”).  These were most recently affirmed in August 2016, with a stable outlook. In August 2016, we also obtained an investment grade rating of BB from Fitch Ratings on our 5.875% series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”).  Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us, and, although it is our intent to maintain our investment grade credit rating, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness as maturities become due. 
Uses of Liquidity
Acquisitions
One of our most significant liquidity needs has historically been for the acquisition of real estate properties. Year to date, we have acquired 11 properties with a combined 3.5 million rentable square feet for a total gross purchase price of $527.1 million, and we are actively monitoring a volume of properties in our markets that we believe represent attractive potential investment opportunities to continue to grow our business. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have approximately $27.7 million of acquisitions under contract or letter of intent. While the actual number of acquisitions that we complete will be dependent upon a number of factors, in the short term, we expect to fund our acquisitions through available cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings available under the Amended Revolver, recycling capital through property dispositions and, in the long term, through the issuance of equity securities or proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings.
Recurring and Nonrecurring Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures are considered part of both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.  As discussed above under — Factors that May Influence Future Results —Acquisitions and Redevelopment of Properties, as of June 30, 2017, nine of our properties were in various stages of redevelopment and repositioning or lease-up, and we anticipate beginning repositioning work on one additional property in 2018.  We currently estimate that approximately $50.7 million of capital will be required over the next seven quarters (3Q-2017 through 1Q-2019) to complete the redevelopment and repositioning of these properties. This estimate, however, is based on our current construction plans and budgets, both of which are subject to change as a result of a number of factors. If we are unable to complete construction on schedule or within budget, we could incur increased construction costs and experience potential delays in leasing the properties. We expect to fund these projects through a combination of cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock under the $150 Million ATM Program and borrowings available under the Amended Revolver.

Dividends and Distributions
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. To satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, we intend to distribute a percentage

54



of our cash flow on a quarterly basis to holders of our common stock. In addition, we intend to make distribution payments to holders of OP Units and dividend payments to holders of our preferred stock.
On July 31, 2017, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.145 per share of common stock and a quarterly cash distribution of $0.145 per OP Unit, to be paid on October 16, 2017, to holders of record as of September 29, 2017. Also on July 31, 2017, our board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.36719 per share of the Series A Preferred Stock, to be paid on September 29, 2017, to preferred stockholders of record as of September 15, 2017.

Includes the effect of interest rate swaps that were effective as of June 30, 2017.  Excludes the effect of amortization of debt issuance costs, discounts/premiums and the facility fee on the Amended Revolver.  Assumes a 1-month LIBOR rate of 1.22389% as of June 30, 2017, as applicable.
(2)
Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and discount/premiums aggregating $2.7 million as of June 30, 2017.

At June 30, 2017, we had total consolidated indebtedness of $564.2 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts/premiums, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.173% and an average term-to-maturity of 5.2 years.  As of June 30, 2017, $267.2 million, or 47% of our outstanding indebtedness had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under either the terms of the loan ($108.0 million) or an interest rate swap ($159.3 million).  We have two interest rate swaps that will effectively fix the interest on the $225 Million Term Loan Facility as follows: (i) $125 million at 1.349% plus the applicable LIBOR margin from February 14, 2018 to January 14, 2022 and (ii) $100 million at 1.406% plus the applicable LIBOR margin from August 14, 2018 to January 14, 2022.  If these two interest rate swaps were effective as of June 30, 2017, our consolidated debt would be 87% fixed-rate and 13% variable-rate.
At June 30, 2017, we had consolidated indebtedness of $564.2 million, reflecting a net debt to total combined market capitalization of approximately 20.9%. Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding preferred stock plus the market value of our common stock excluding shares of nonvested restricted stock, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the value of our net debt.  Our net debt is defined as our consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents.  
Debt Covenants
The Amended Credit Agreement, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes all include a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with, including the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis:
Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%;
For the Amended Credit Facility and the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%;
For the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%;
Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%;
Maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $760,740,750, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2016;
Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to fixed charges of at least 1.50 to 1.0;
Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%;
Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.0.
The Amended Credit Agreement, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes also contain limitations on our ability to pay distributions on our common stock.  Specifically, our cash dividends may not exceed the greater of (1) 95% of our FFO (as defined in the credit agreement) and (2) the amount required for us to qualify

56



and maintain our REIT status.  If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to qualify and maintain our REIT status.
Additionally, subject to the terms of the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, make-whole payment amount, or interest under the Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Notes agreement and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the make-whole payment amount on the outstanding Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers.
Our $60 million term loan contains the following financial covenants:
Maintaining a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.00, to be tested quarterly;
Maintaining Unencumbered Liquid Assets (as defined in the term loan agreement) of not less than (i) $5 million, or (ii) $8 million if we elect to have Line of Credit Availability (as defined in the term loan agreement) included in the calculation, of which $2 million must be cash or cash equivalents, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year;
Maintaining a minimum Fair Market Net Worth (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least $75 million, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year.
We were in compliance with all of our quarterly debt covenants as of June 30, 2017.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $6.9 million to $31.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $24.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.  The increase was primarily attributable to incremental cash flows from property acquisitions completed after January 1, 2016, and the increase in Cash NOI from our Same Properties Portfolio, partially offset by higher cash paid for interest for comparable periods and changes in working capital.
Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $34.2 million to $189.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $223.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily attributable to the $44.0 million increase in net proceeds received from the sale of our properties for comparable periods, as well as proceeds of $6.0 million from the collection of notes receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2017, partially offset by a $14.2 million decrease in cash paid for property acquisitions, including related deposits, for comparable periods.

57



Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $85.5 million to $155.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017, compared to $241.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change was primarily attributable to the decrease in cash proceeds from borrowings on our $225 Million Term Loan Facility of $225.0 million, the $56.1 million decrease in cash proceeds from the sale of common stock, the $9.9 million repayment of one of our secured mortgage loans, inclusive of a $0.2 million early prepayment premium, during the six months ended June 30, 2017, and a $6.3 million increase in the payment of dividends and distributions resulting from an increase in the number of common shares outstanding and the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock in August 2016. The decrease was partially offset by the $127.0 million increase in draws on our unsecured revolving credit facility and the $85.5 decrease in paydowns made on our unsecured revolving credit facility, for comparable periods.

 Item 3.        Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. A key market risk we face is interest rate risk. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of debt used to satisfy various short-term and long-term liquidity needs, which bears interest at variable rates.  We use interest rate swaps to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings.  Because actual interest rate movements over time are uncertain, our swaps pose potential interest rate risks, notably if interest rates fall. We also expose ourselves to credit risk, which we attempt to minimize by contracting with highly-rated banking financial counterparties. For a summary of our outstanding variable-rate debt, see Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources. For a summary of our interest rate swaps, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.
As of June 30, 2017, interest on our $60.0 million amortizing term loan has been effectively fixed through the use of two interest rate swaps, with notional values of $30.0 million and $29.3 million, respectively. The first interest rate swap, which is effective for the period from January 15, 2015 to February 15, 2019, currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 3.726%. The second interest rate swap, which is an amortizing swap, is effective for the period from July 15, 2015 to February 15, 2019, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 3.91%.
As of June 30, 2017, interest on the $100 million Amended Term Loan has been effectively fixed through the use of two interest rate swaps, each with a notional value of $50.0 million. The first interest rate swap has an effective date of August 14, 2015, and a maturity date of December 14, 2018, and the second interest rate swap has an effective date of February 16, 2016, and a maturity date of December 14, 2018. The two interest rate swaps currently fix the annual interest rate payable on the Amended Term Loan as follows: 1.79% for the first $50.0 million and 2.005% for the second $50.0 million, plus an applicable margin under the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement.
During 2016, we entered into two interest rate swap transactions to manage our exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rate associated with the $225 Million Term Loan Facility. The first interest rate swap has a notional value of $125.0 million, an effective date of February 14, 2018, and a maturity date of January 14, 2022. The second interest rate swap has a notional value of $100.0 million, an effective date of August 14, 2018, and a maturity date of January 14, 2022. When these interest rate swaps become effective, they will fix the annual interest rate payable on the $225 Million Term Loan Facility as follows: 1.349% for $125.0 million of the principal outstanding and 1.406% for the remaining $100.0 million of principal outstanding, plus an applicable margin under the terms of the $225 Million Term Loan Facility.
At June 30, 2017, we had total consolidated indebtedness, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts/premiums, of $564.2 million. Of this total amount, $267.2 million, or 47%, had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or an interest rate swap.  The remaining $297.0 million, or 53%, comprises our variable-rate debt. Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2017, if LIBOR were to increase by 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.5 million annually.  If LIBOR were to decrease by 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would increase our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.5 million annually.
Interest risk amounts are our management’s estimates and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of variable rate debt outstanding by the respective change in rate. The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances or fair value of our floating rate debt or the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

Item 4.        Controls and Procedures  
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017, the end of the period covered by this report.
Based on the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2017, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

2.1.2Tax Bills. Copies of real property tax bills and personal property tax bills for the past three (3) calendar years (or such lesser period as Seller has held record title to the Property).

2.1.6Survey. That certain survey of the Property prepared by JRN Civil Engineers dated January 31, 2017 (File No. 16193).
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be required to deliver or make available any documents or other information that is/are privileged, confidential or proprietary, including, without limitation, appraisals, budgets and property condition reports or property assessments. From time to time, Seller, Asset Manager or Seller’s Broker may make to Purchaser certain disclosures, including without limitation any disclosures required by law. After written request from Seller, upon receipt of any such disclosure, Purchaser shall prepare, execute and date an acknowledgment of the receipt and review thereof and return the same to Seller.

2.2Due Diligence.
2.2.1Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, have access to the Property (subject to the terms of this Agreement) until the Closing Date but shall only have through the last day of the Due Diligence Period in which to, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, determine whether the Property is acceptable to Purchaser; provided however, Purchaser hereby waives all seismic hazard related due diligence inspections. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller, in writing, upon Purchaser’s receipt of the draft environmental site assessment with respect to the Real Property from Purchaser’s consultant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller (“Due Diligence Termination Notice”), so long as such notice is received by Seller at or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the last day of the Due Diligence Period. Unless Purchaser timely delivers the Due Diligence Termination Notice to Seller, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have no further right or opportunity to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Subsection 2.2.1. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to this Subsection 2.2.1, the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be refunded to Purchaser immediately upon Purchaser’s written request, Purchaser shall return and/or deliver to Seller all documents, information, reports, etc., including without limitation the Property Information, provided in physical form by Seller, including Asset Manager,

5



Property Manager and Broker, and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except any provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall also deliver to Seller, upon Seller’s written request, copies of all third party reports, investigations and studies, other than economic analyses (collectively, the “Reports” and, individually, a “Report”) prepared for, and delivered to, Purchaser in connection with its due diligence review of the Property provided that Seller reimburses Purchaser for the actual cost incurred by Purchaser to obtain the Reports; provided that Seller shall have no right to receive such Reports if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as a result of a Seller default. Such Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto, and Seller shall have no right to rely on any Report without the written consent of the party preparing same. Purchaser’s obligations under and pursuant to this Subsection 2.2.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
2.2.2Subject always to the terms of the Leases, including the rights of the tenants under and/or pursuant to such Leases, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Seller, and after providing to Seller reasonably satisfactory evidence of appropriate liability insurance (i.e., at least $1,000,000.00 in coverage pursuant to a commercial general liability insurance policy, written on an occurrence basis, issued by an insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller and which includes a certificate of insurance naming Seller, Asset Manager and Property Manager as additional insureds), Purchaser shall have reasonable access to the Property for the purpose of conducting surveys, architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests (including, but subject to the qualifications, limitations and prohibitions set forth hereinbelow, intrusive inspection and sampling, if there is a reasonable basis for the same and provided Purchaser gives Seller two (2) business days’ prior notice of any intrusive inspection or sampling, Purchaser obtains Seller’s prior written consent which, with respect to intrusive inspection or sampling, may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion and, prior to performing the same, Purchaser delivers a certificate of insurance to Seller evidencing that Purchaser has in place reasonable amounts of liability insurance for its activities on the Property and has named Seller, Asset Manager and Property Manager as additional insureds thereunder), and any other inspections, studies, or non-invasive tests reasonably required by Purchaser. Purchaser and its agents, employees, and representatives shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a continuing right of reasonable access to the Property during the pendency of this Agreement for the purposes permitted by this Agreement. In the course of its investigations, Purchaser may make (solely for the purpose of requesting copies of existing reports or the current zoning of the Property and without identifying the proposed sale) inquiries to third parties, such as municipal, local and other government officials and representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries, subject to the following: (a) Purchaser shall not contact tenants or Seller’s lenders, contractors or property managers without Seller’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may (for example) be conditioned upon Seller or Seller’s representative(s), if Seller so elects, being present, either in person or by telephone; and (b) Purchaser shall not request any governmental inspection or investigation of the Property. In any event, Purchaser shall not cause the Property to be encumbered by any liens and Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller, Asset Manager, Property Manager and the Property free and harmless of, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, but excluding consequential and punitive damages (“Claims”) asserted against Seller, Asset Manager, Property Manager or the Property or otherwise caused or suffered as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors and/or other consultants. The foregoing indemnity shall not, however, apply to the extent of (i) the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition at the Property; but it shall apply otherwise, including, without limitation, in the event and to the extent Purchaser’s investigation, due diligence and/or other acts or omissions cause, contribute to or exacerbate such or any other condition, or (ii) any Claims attributable to the negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller, Asset Manager or Property Manager. If any inspection, test or other entry disturbs the Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to the same condition as existed prior to any such inspection, test or other entry. The obligations of Purchaser under the preceding three (3) sentences shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
2.3Service Contracts. Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date, Purchaser will indicate in a written notice to Seller which Service Contract(s) Purchaser will assume and which Service Contract(s) will be terminated by Seller at or prior to Closing, provided Seller shall have no obligation to terminate (i) any Service Contract(s) which by its (their) terms cannot be terminated without penalty or payment of a fee or (ii) any Service Contract Purchaser desires to be terminated but with respect to which Purchaser does not provide to Seller sufficient advance notice of the desired termination. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver such written notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed all of

6



the Service Contracts. Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts which Purchaser has agreed to assume (or is deemed to have assumed) or which Seller is not required to terminate as set forth above. Seller shall terminate at Closing all Service Contracts that are not so assumed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall terminate at Closing, and Purchaser shall not assume, any property or asset management agreement, any leasing services agreement and any insurance affecting the Property; and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, such agreements and/or contracts shall not, in any event, be or be deemed to be Service Contracts.
2.4Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser, prior to the Closing, tenant estoppel certificates from all tenants under Leases in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto or such other form as is required or permitted by the relevant Lease(s). In the event that, as of the date that is five (5) business days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date, Seller is unable to obtain said estoppel certificates from (i) RFS Sports, Inc., (ii) National Oak Distributors, Inc., (iiii) Rochling Engineered Plastics (each, a “Key Tenant and collectively, the “Key Tenants”), and (iv) tenants (including Key Tenants) leasing, in the aggregate, not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total leased rentable square feet of the Improvements (together the “Estoppel Delivery Requirement”), then Seller shall have the right to deliver a written notice to Purchaser extending the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is five (5) business days after the satisfaction of the Estoppel Delivery Requirement or (b) the date that is thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date. In the event that, (1) as of the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), Seller is unable to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Requirement, or (2) Purchaser does not approve an estoppel certificate (if permitted pursuant to the terms of this provision), Purchaser may elect (in a written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder prior to the Closing) to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money; and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above. However, the failure of Seller to obtain any tenant estoppel certificate, notwithstanding Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts (or the refusal of Seller to correct any claimed default by landlord under a Lease) shall not be and shall not be deemed to be a breach of or default under this Agreement. Purchaser may disapprove any signed tenant estoppel certificate (i) dated earlier than the Effective Date, (ii) which contains material changes (including a claimed default by landlord), or (iii) which contains a material error in the factual information set forth therein based on the applicable Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a tenant modifies or deletes Section 7 of the form estoppel attached hereto as Exhibit H, such modification and/or deletion shall not invalidate such estoppel certificate. Seller may, but need not, satisfy up to one-fifth (1/5th) of the seventy-five percent (75%) requirement set forth herein by providing a landlord estoppel(s) on substantially the same form as the tenant estoppel; provided, however, that (A) a landlord estoppel certificate shall not be acceptable in lieu of a tenant estoppel certificate for any of the Key Tenants, and (B) if Seller subsequently obtains an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 2.4 from a tenant for which Seller has delivered a landlord estoppel certificate, then the related delivered landlord estoppel certificate shall be null and void, and Purchaser shall accept such estoppel certificate in its place.
ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
3.1Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey. If not already provided, Seller and/or Purchaser shall request that Title Company cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser and its counsel (as well as to Seller and its counsel), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, a commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report issued by Title Company (the “Title Commitment”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, with Purchaser as the proposed insured, accompanied by copies of all documents referred to in the Title Commitment. Seller has ordered a current ALTA-ACSM Urban survey of the Property (“Survey”) and shall provide a copy of said Survey to Purchaser upon Seller’s receipt of the Survey. If Purchaser elects to obtain the same, Purchaser shall order copies of Uniform Commercial Code searches in the name of Seller and the Property issued by the Title Company or a search company acceptable to Purchaser (“UCC Searches”).
3.2Title Review and Cure. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Also during the Due Diligence Period, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in curing any reasonable objections Purchaser may have with respect to matters disclosed on the Title Commitment of which Purchaser notifies Seller at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall not have any obligation to spend money or incur any other obligation,

7



liability or duty in connection with such cooperation, except as hereafter provided in this Section 3.2; (ii) Purchaser shall have no obligation to accept any cure proposed by Seller; and (iii) except as otherwise specifically provided below in this Section 3.2, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as a result of the existence or continued existence of title or survey matters, issues and/or objections, except as set forth below with respect to a revision to the Title Commitment. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller (as well as past due and payable taxes and assessments and mechanic’s liens resulting from work performed by, or at the direction of, Seller (but expressly excluding mechanics liens resulting from work performed by, or at the direction of, a tenant)), which liens Seller shall cause to be released (at Seller’s expense, including any recording fees incurred or to be incurred in connection therewith) at or prior to the Closing. Seller further agrees to remove (at Seller’s expense, including any recording fees incurred or to be incurred in connection therewith) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent. In addition to Purchaser’s termination right as set forth in Subsection 2.2.1, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add or modify any exceptions which materially adversely affect the Property, or to add or modify the conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Purchaser and agreed to be provided by Title Company during the Due Diligence Period, if such additions or modifications are in writing, are not reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and are not removed by the Closing Date (and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above). Seller’s obligations as set forth in, but as limited by, the second, third and fourth sentences of this Section 3.2 shall apply to all matters disclosed by any revision to the Title Commitment by the Title Company after expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and Purchaser shall have the right to object to such newly disclosed matters described in the immediately preceding sentence by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder delivered no later than three (3) business days following receipt of such revision to the Title Commitment. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include the following: (i) the exceptions that are a part of the promulgated title insurance form (i.e., the so-called “general exceptions” or “standard exceptions,” whether or not the same are printed, preprinted or otherwise), except to the extent the same are removed as a result of (a) Seller providing an Owner’s Affidavit, ALTA Statement and/or Gap Indemnity or other affidavit as contemplated by Section 3.3 below or (b) Purchaser’s actions, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, the provision (or update) of a Survey, if Purchaser so elects; (ii) the specific exceptions (i.e., the “special” or other exceptions that are not part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that Title Company has not agreed to insure over or remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Due Diligence Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; (iii) matters created by, through or under Purchaser; (iv) items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Due Diligence Period; (v) real estate taxes not yet due and payable; (vi) the rights of tenants pursuant to the Leases; and (vii) the impact of any federal, state, local and other laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation, zoning ordinances.
3.3Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. The parties shall instruct Title Company to issue at Closing, or to unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, the Title Company’s most current form of standard (i.e., not extended) ALTA (or other customarily provided non-ALTA) owner’s coverage (the “Owner’s Policy”) insuring Purchaser’s title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions as well as any and all other standard or required exclusions. If further coverage (e.g., ALTA or ALTA extended coverage) or endorsements are desired by Purchaser, Purchaser shall order the same directly from Title Company and shall undertake all actions which may be required as a condition to the issuance of such further coverage or endorsements. Seller shall not be obligated to undertake any action or pay any monies as a condition precedent to the issuance of such further coverage or endorsements to the Owner’s Policy which would not otherwise be required of Seller in regard to the issuance of a standard coverage owner’s policy or to remove any standard exceptions therefrom requiring more of Seller than delivery of (i) a “Gap Indemnity” (e.g., an indemnity for the so-called title “gap”) in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and (ii) an “Owner’s Affidavit,” “ALTA Statement” or other affidavit in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto.
3.4Title and Survey Costs; Escrow Fees. The cost to prepare the Title Commitment and the premium for the (base/standard) Owner’s Policy shall be paid by Seller. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the cost incurred by Seller to procure the Survey. The premium for any upgrade to ALTA extended coverage (i.e., providing for the deletion of regional exceptions) and/or any other upgrade in coverage, including without limitation endorsements,

8



and the cost of any UCC Searches, litigation searches and the like shall be paid by Purchaser. Except as otherwise provided herein, Escrow Holder’s charges and/or fees shall be paid as follows: one-half (½) by Seller and one-half (½) by Purchaser. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all other charges shall be allocated in accordance with customary practice for commercial real estate transactions in the locale of the Property (i.e., Ontario, California).
ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
4.1Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement:
4.1.1Performance under Leases and Service Contracts. Seller will perform, in a manner consistent with its prior performance, the obligations of landlord under the Leases as well as its monetary obligations under the Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect the Property.
4.1.2New Contracts. Seller will not enter into, amend or terminate any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into, amended or terminated in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice.
4.1.3Maintenance of Improvements. Subject to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 below (as well as the obligations of tenants under Leases (e.g., Purchaser shall not look to Seller for the performance of maintenance required by a tenant under a Lease), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain all Improvements in their present condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear, damage and destruction, as well as rights and obligations of tenants, excepted).
4.1.4Removal of Personal Property. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property, except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal as reasonably determined by Seller.
4.1.5Leasing Arrangements. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will continue to lease and otherwise operate the Property in accordance with Seller’s usual custom and practice; provided, however, that after the date that is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller will not voluntarily amend, terminate or enter into any Lease without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of any executed term sheet or executed letter of intent for any new Lease and for any renewal, extension or early termination of an existing Lease (provided, however, that if such renewal, extension or early termination is made pursuant to an express right in the existing Lease, then Seller shall not be required to provide such term sheet or letter of intent to the extent that all rental amounts payable during the renewal or extension term, or fees payable in connection with the early termination, are set forth with specificity in the existing Lease and are not being modified). Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment, termination or new Lease within three (3) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of (i) a copy of such amendment, termination or Lease, (ii) any reasonably relevant supporting documentation, including without limitation financial information, in Seller’s possession, (iii) Seller’s written request for approval, and (iv)  information regarding tenant improvement costs and brokerage commissions to be incurred with respect to the amendment, termination or Lease. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver a written notice of approval or disapproval, Purchaser shall be deemed to have provided its approval.
4.1.6Notices. Seller shall promptly furnish to Purchaser copies of any written notices received by Seller after the Effective Date, which notices relate to (i) any suit, judgment or other proceeding filed, entered or threatened with respect to the Property or Seller’s use or ownership thereof, (ii) any actual or contemplated changes in zoning of the Property or any other legal requirement which would adversely affect the operation, use, ownership or maintenance of the Property, (iii) any notices from any governmental agencies or other authorities that the Property is in violation of any Federal, state, county or municipal law, code, rule or regulation applicable to the Property, and (iv) any default by any other party or notice of claim of default by Seller made by any other party under any of the Leases or the Service Contracts.

9



4.1.7Insurance. Seller shall keep continuously in full force and effect from the Effective Date through the day upon which the Closing occurs all insurance policies carried by Seller with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance.
4.2Damage. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the Improvements or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such damage or destruction (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be immediately returned to Purchaser (and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above), or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, receive an assignment of the payment of any insurance proceeds (including calculated rent loss insurance, if any, applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall (except as provided for below and subject to the limitations herein) receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or Seller/self-insured amount under applicable property or casualty/liability insurance policies less any costs or expenses incurred by Seller prior to the Closing in connection with the repair of such damage. Purchaser and Seller shall collaboratively work together to file such claim for all of the damage which may reasonably be claimed under the insurance policy or insurance policies; provided, however, any final settlement of such claim shall be determined by Seller. If the Improvements are not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided below) have the right to terminate this Agreement, but Seller shall, at its cost, repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or, if repairs cannot be completed before the Closing or if Seller otherwise elects (in Seller’s sole discretion) not to commence or complete such repairs, assign to Purchaser the payment of any insurance proceeds (including calculated rent loss insurance, if any, applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts expended by Seller for repairs made by Seller prior to Closing). For the purposes of this Agreement, “material damage” and “materially damaged” means damage (i) based upon reasonable contractor repair/restoration estimates obtained by Seller exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to repair or (ii) that would permit tenants leasing in the aggregate twenty percent (20%) or more of the rentable square footage of the Property to terminate their Leases pursuant to the terms thereof (unless a sufficient number of such tenants waive in writing their right to terminate, no later than two (2) business days prior to the last day upon which Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2, such that tenants with remaining termination rights lease in the aggregate less than such twenty percent (20%) threshold in the Property). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event (y) of an uninsured loss reasonably estimated to be in excess of $25,000.00, and (z) Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, notifies Purchaser, in writing, that Seller has elected not to provide Purchaser with a credit, at Closing, for the estimated amount of such uninsured loss in excess of $25,000.00 (less any costs incurred by Seller prior to Closing in connection with the repair of such damage), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is five (5) business days after Purchaser receives the written notice from Seller as described in clause (z) above or (2) the Closing Date, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, an “uninsured loss” shall include, but not be limited to, any loss or portion thereof that is not covered by insurance or falls under or within the deductible amount of the relevant insurance policy or policies. Seller shall make the election set forth in clause (z) above on or prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after Seller obtains knowledge of the amount of the uninsured loss, based upon reasonable contractor repair/restoration estimates obtained by Seller (such date, the “Uninsured Loss Determination Date”); provided, however, that if the Uninsured Loss Determination Date has not occurred as of the Closing Date, then Purchaser or Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date until the date that is five (5) business days after the Uninsured Loss Determination Date occurs provided Seller delivers written notice to Purchaser of such election to extend the Closing Date prior to the occurrence of the then scheduled Closing Date.
4.3Condemnation. In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are threatened in writing or instituted by any body or entity having the power of eminent domain with respect to the entire Property or any material portion thereof as reflected in a written notice received by Seller, Purchaser may, at its option by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be immediately returned to Purchaser (and

10



such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above), or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the right during the pendency of this Agreement to participate in negotiations with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. A “material portion”, as used herein, shall be deemed to be subject to the eminent domain proceedings if (i) the Estimated Value of the portion of the Property taken exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price or (ii) the taking would permit tenants leasing in the aggregate twenty (20%) or more of the rentable square footage in the entire Property to terminate their Leases pursuant to the terms thereof (unless a sufficient number of such tenants waive in writing their right to terminate, no later than two (2) business days prior to the last day upon which Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.3, such that tenants with remaining termination rights lease in the aggregate less than such twenty percent (20%) threshold in the Property). The phrase “Estimated Value” shall mean an estimate obtained from a M.A.I. appraiser, who has at least five (5) years’ experience evaluating property located in the county where the Real Property is located, similar in nature and function to that of the Property, selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser.
4.4Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as set forth in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be refunded to Purchaser, and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except for any provisions which, by their terms, survive the termination of this Agreement (and such termination shall otherwise be in accordance with the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above).
ARTICLE 5: CLOSING
5.1Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein (“Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of Escrow Holder. Closing shall occur through an escrow with Escrow Holder. Funds shall be deposited into and held by Escrow Holder in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon satisfaction or completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct Escrow Holder to, and Escrow Holder shall, immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties and make disbursements according to closing statements executed by Seller and Purchaser. Escrow Holder shall (and does, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby) agree in writing with Purchaser (i) that deposit of the Deed with the appropriate recorder’s office (or that Escrow Holder holds the Deed for as well as in anticipation of depositing it with the recorder’s office, shall do so and that the same) constitutes Escrow Holder’s representation that Escrow Holder is holding the closing documents (other than the Deed, if already deposited with the recorder’s office), closing funds and closing statements and is prepared and irrevocably committed to disburse the closing funds in accordance with the closing statements and (ii) that release of funds to Seller shall irrevocably commit Title Company to issue the Owner’s Policy in accordance with this Agreement. Provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable Escrow Holder to comply with the terms of this Agreement; however, the supplemental escrow instructions shall not act to extend or provide any extension of any period(s) of performance, notice, grace or cure under this Agreement unless specifically referenced and agreed to, in writing, by both Purchaser and Seller or their respective counsel. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Closing may occur on a “gap” basis, in which event Seller shall deliver to the Title Company a “Gap Indemnity” (e.g., an indemnity for the so-called title “gap”) in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto or such other form as reasonably required by the Title Company.
5.2Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Close. In addition to all other conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:

5.2.2.As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have performed its obligations hereunder and all deliveries to be made at or before Closing have been tendered;

11



5.2.3.There shall exist no pending actions, suits, arbitrations, claims, attachments, proceedings, assignments for the benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other proceedings, against the other party that would materially and adversely affect the operation or value of the Property or the other party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
5.2.4.There shall exist no pending action, suit or proceeding with respect to the other party before or by any court or administrative agency which seeks to restrain or prohibit, or to obtain damages or a discovery order with respect to, this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby; and
5.2.5.The Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue the Owner’s Policy in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3.
So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, such party may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other party on or before the Closing Date (provided that any notice from any party alleging a failure of a condition shall also give the other party at least five (5) business days to correct or otherwise address the same; provided that no such cure period shall be provided to Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, on account of the failure to timely deliver the items set forth in Section 5.3 and Section 5.4) or elect to close notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition without any adjustment to the Purchase Price; if the party electing to terminate pursuant to this sentence is Purchaser, then such party (i.e., Purchaser) shall also be entitled to a refund of the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration); however, if the party electing to terminate is Seller, then such party (i.e., Seller) may (for example, as a result of a Purchaser’s breach, default or failure to perform) be entitled to the Earnest Money as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 9.4 as well as any other applicable terms and provisions of this Agreement. In the event such party elects to close, notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such condition, THERE SHALL BE NO LIABILITY ON THE PART OF ANY OTHER PARTY HERETO FOR BREACHES OF COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND/OR WARRANTIES OF WHICH THE PARTY ELECTING TO CLOSE HAD ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE AT OR PRIOR TO THE CLOSING; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not release or relieve Purchaser from its indemnity and related obligations under this Agreement which survive the Closing. Notwithstanding any termination in accordance with the foregoing and except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and in Section 7.5, the failure of a condition which also constitutes a breach by a party of an obligation of such party shall not relieve such breaching party from any liability it would otherwise have under this Agreement for such breach.

ARTICLE 6: PRORATIONS
6.1Prorations. Except as otherwise provided herein, the items in this Section 6.1 shall be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the close of the day (i.e., 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time) immediately preceding the Closing Date:
6.1.1Taxes and Assessments. General real estate taxes and assessments imposed by governmental authority and rent taxes, if any (collectively, “Taxes”), as well as any assessments by private covenant constituting a lien or charge on the Property, paid or payable during the then-current calendar year or other current tax or other period. If the Closing occurs prior to the receipt by Seller of the tax bill for (i.e., payable in) the calendar year or other applicable tax period in which the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall prorate such Taxes for such calendar year or other applicable tax period based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax rates, which proration shall be subject to readjustment in accordance with Section 6.2.
6.1.2Collected Rent. All collected rent and other income (and any applicable state or local tax on rent) under Leases in effect on the Closing Date; for the purposes of this Subsection 6.1.2, the term “rent” shall mean and include so-called “additional rent,” including, without limitation, any operating expense pass-throughs, so-called “CAM” or common area maintenance charges, and the like. Seller shall be charged with any rentals collected by Seller before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing. Uncollected rent and other income shall not be prorated. If Purchaser collects delinquencies after Closing, Purchaser shall apply such rent to the obligations then due and owing to Purchaser for its period of ownership and to reasonable costs of collection actually incurred, remitting the balance, if any, to Seller. Purchaser shall bill and attempt to collect such delinquent rent in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be obligated to engage a collection agency or to take legal action to collect any delinquencies. To the extent not applicable to periods prior to the Closing, rent received by Seller after the Closing shall be immediately forwarded by Seller to Purchaser for disposition in accordance with this Subsection 6.1.2. From and after the date that is sixty (60) days after the Closing, Seller shall have the right to seek collection of any delinquent rents or any other amounts owed by tenants to Seller (see, for example, Section 6.2 below in this regard) for or relating to any period prior to the Closing; Seller shall not, however, have the right to bring eviction proceedings.

ARTICLE 8: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1Seller’s Default. If this transaction fails to close as a result of Seller’s default, then Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies hereunder, may elect to either (i) commence an action for specific performance or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller and receive from Seller the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser and paid to unrelated or unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with Purchaser’s review and preparation to purchase the Property (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) up to the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Expense Reimbursement”), Purchaser thereby waiving the right to sue Seller for monetary damages or for any remedies available at law or in equity. If Purchaser elects to commence an action for specific performance, Purchaser must commence any such action within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date. If, however, the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available as a result of Seller’s conveyance of the Property to a third-party in violation of this Agreement, Purchaser may seek any other monetary remedy available at law for such default by Seller, subject, however, to the following: In no event shall Seller’s liability exceed the sum of (i) the difference between the Purchase Price of this Agreement and the sales price to such third-party and (ii) the Expense Reimbursement. For purposes of this Section 8.1, specific performance shall be considered not available to Purchaser (i) if a court of competent jurisdiction declines to grant the remedy of specific performance, (ii) if the nature of Seller’s default is such that, upon obtaining specific performance, Purchaser will receive materially less than Purchaser bargained for in this Agreement or (iii) if Seller has conveyed the Property to a third party. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, then the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Section 2.2.1 above.
8.2Purchaser’s Default. If this transaction fails to close due to the default of Purchaser, then (in accordance with, but subject to, Section 9.4 below) Seller’s sole remedy in (i.e., with respect to) such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of (i.e., in connection with) such default by Purchaser; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Seller’s other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or as a result of another breach, default or failure to perform by Purchaser including, without limitation, Seller’s right to receive, keep and retain the Independent Contract Consideration. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Purchaser under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any right of Seller to liquidated damages shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any indemnity obligation, liability or duty of Purchaser and such other obligations, liabilities and duties as are provided and/or referenced in Section 9.4. In the event of a default by Purchaser which does not result in a failure to close, Seller shall, subject to the terms of Section 7.3, have all rights and remedies provided by this Agreement as well as those provided by law and equity.
8.3Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay or reimburse the other party, as appropriate, for any fees or charges due to the Escrow Holder for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation or termination fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation, termination and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Additionally, any

20



obligation, liability or duty of Purchaser under this Section 8.3 shall be in addition to Purchaser’s obligations, liabilities and duties as set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 9.4.
ARTICLE 9: EARNEST MONEY PROVISIONS

Escrow Holder shall invest the Earnest Money in a federally insured interest-bearing account or accounts satisfactory to Purchaser (as provided in Section 1.3 above), shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of Escrow Holder or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, and the Earnest Money (or any portion of it) has not previously been released to Seller, Escrow Holder shall deliver the Earnest Money (or any portion of it) to Seller on the Closing Date.
9.2.Termination Before Expiration of Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Subsection 2.2.1, Escrow Holder shall immediately pay the entire Earnest Money (including interest earned thereon) to Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice from Purchaser and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate. No notice to Escrow Holder from Seller shall be required for the release of the Earnest Money to Purchaser by Escrow Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that Escrow Holder shall confirm that Seller timely received from Purchaser (i) the required Due Diligence Termination Notice and (ii) the Independent Contract Consideration.
9.3.After Expiration of Due Diligence Period. After expiration of the Due Diligence Period (and except as provided in Subsection 2.2.1, Section 2.4, Section 3.2, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 7.3, Section 8.1, Section 8.2, and Section 9.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement), Escrow Holder shall retain the Earnest Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Earnest Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Earnest Money to a particular party(ies), in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment. Section 9.4 shall be considered Seller’s and Purchaser’s executed written instructions to Escrow Holder with respect to the matters set forth therein.

CONSEQUENTLY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BY REASON OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE ENTIRE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY; PURCHASER SHALL MAKE, GIVE, JOIN IN, EXECUTE AND/OR DELIVER TO ESCROW HOLDER ANY INSTRUMENT REQUIRED IN THIS REGARD. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS (AND ANY OTHER SIMILAR PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL, HOWEVER, IN NO WAY LIMIT (A) PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND/OR RELATED OR SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES OR DUTIES (E.G., PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION, LIABILITY AND DUTY TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND/OR HOLD HARMLESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 2.2, SECTION 6.6 AND/OR ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT), (B) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY OR DUTY OF PURCHASER TO RETURN, DELIVER, ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR MAKE AVAILABLE TO SELLER DOCUMENTS, LICENSES, PERMITS, RESULTS OF DUE DILIGENCE OR OTHER INVESTIGATIONS AND THE LIKE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PROPERTY INFORMATION AND THE REPORTS, (C) SECTION 8.3 OR (D) SECTION 10.9, AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ((A), (B), (C) AND (D), COLLECTIVELY, THE “OTHER OBLIGATIONS”), IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE

9.5.Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by Escrow Holder directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, Escrow Holder shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at Escrow Holder’s option, Escrow Holder may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction (in the county in which the Real Property is located) in which event Escrow Holder may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of Escrow Holder, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Holder harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Holder’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Holder in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Holder.
ARTICLE 10: MISCELLANEOUS
10.1Purchaser Bound. Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion), and any such prohibited assignment shall be void; provided, however, that (subject to (i) Purchaser and Affiliate (as defined below) providing to Seller written notice of such assignment, including evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Affiliate satisfies the definition of Affiliate set forth below, (ii) Purchaser confirming (in writing) to Seller that such assignment does not relieve or release Purchaser of liability, and (iii) Affiliate confirming (in writing) to Seller, on behalf of Affiliate (as if Affiliate is Purchaser), Purchaser’s representations and warranties as set forth in Section 6.6 and Section 7.2 as well as assuming, accepting and agreeing (in writing) to be bound by and perform each of Purchaser’s obligations, liabilities, duties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement) Purchaser may assign this Agreement, without Seller’s consent, to an Affiliate. No assignment shall release or relieve Purchaser from its obligations, liabilities and/or duties under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective

22



legal representatives, successors, assigns, heirs and devisees of the parties. For the purposes of this Section 10.1, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Purchaser or (b) an entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.

10.3Invalidity and Waiver. If any portion of this Agreement is held invalid or inoperative, then, so far as is reasonable and possible, the remainder of this Agreement shall be deemed valid and operative, and, to the greatest extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.
10.4Governing Law. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the law of the State or Commonwealth in which the Real Property is located (i.e., California).

10.6Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property.

Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by Purchaser’s counsel shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by Seller’s counsel shall be deemed given by Seller.
10.11Construction.
10.11.1The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties and/or their counsel have reviewed, negotiated and revised this Agreement and agree 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 exhibits or amendments hereto.
10.11.2If any words or phrases in this Agreement shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Agreement shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Agreement and no implication or reference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated.

10.15Limitation of Liability. Any obligation or liability of Purchaser or Seller whatsoever which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any obligation or liability which may be incurred by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to any other instrument, transaction or undertaking contemplated hereby shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Purchaser’s or Seller’s assets only.

24



thereof be had to, the property of any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s limited partners, managers, members, trustees, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives or agents (including, without limitation, Asset Manager and Property Manager), regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.

10.18.3Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the waivers, releases and other provisions contained in this Section 10.18 as well as elsewhere in this Agreement, were a material factor in Seller’s acceptance of the Purchase Price and agreement to the terms of this Agreement, and that Seller is unwilling to sell the Property to Purchaser unless Seller is released and indemnified as expressly set forth herein. The releases by Purchaser set forth in this Agreement include claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser's release of Seller; provided that such releases shall not apply to Seller’s (i) fraud or (ii) obligations under this Agreement that expressly survive Closing. Purchaser specifically waives the provision of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”
 
 
Purchaser:
/s/ HS
 
(Initials)
Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser, together with Purchaser’s counsel, has fully reviewed the disclaimers, waivers, releases, indemnities, etc., set forth in this Agreement, and understands the significance and effect thereof. The terms and conditions of this Section 10.18 will expressly survive the Closing, will not merge with the provisions of any closing documents, and will be incorporated into the Deed.
10.18.4Seller hereby discloses to Purchaser that the noted floor to ceiling heights of the Buildings, as reflected in the Broker issued offering materials, may be inconsistent with the actual floor to ceiling height

27



measurements of the Buildings. Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees that Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser on account of any such errors in the offering material.
10.19Discharge of Obligations. The acceptance of the Deed by Purchaser shall be deemed to be a full performance and discharge of every representation and warranty made by Seller herein and every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, except those which are herein specifically stated to survive Closing.
10.20No Other Third Party Beneficiaries. The provisions of this Agreement and of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing are and will be for the benefit of Seller, Asset Manager and Purchaser as well as any other third party beneficiary expressly and specifically identified herein only and are not for the benefit of any third party and, accordingly, no third party shall have the right to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or of the documents to be executed and delivered at Closing.
10.21No Recording. Purchaser covenants that neither it nor any successor or assign will record in any public records this Agreement or any memorandum or affidavit relating to this Agreement.
10.22Waiver of Jury Trial. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BUT NOT OTHERWISE, EACH OF PURCHASER AND SELLER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE TERMS OR PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, such dispute shall be resolved by submission to binding arbitration in Los Angeles County, California, before a retired judge or justice under the auspices of ADR SERVICES, INC. (“ADR”). If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator, the arbitrator will be determined pursuant to ADR’S normal procedures then in effect. In any such arbitration, the parties shall be entitled to take discovery in accordance with the provisions of the California Code of Civil Procedure. The prevailing party in any action, arbitration, or proceeding arising out of or to enforce any provision of this Agreement, with the exception of a fee arbitration or mediation under Business and Professions Code Sections 6200-6206, will be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in that action, arbitration, or proceeding, or in the enforcement of any judgment or award rendered.

10.23References. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder,” as well as words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular article, section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, clause, or provision, unless expressly so stated.
10.24Section 1031 Exchange. Either party (such party, the “Exchange Party”) may consummate the purchase of the Property as part of a so-called “like kind” exchange (“Exchange”), including a “reverse” exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), provided that: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchange Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Exchange Party shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and otherwise in complete compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iii) if Purchaser is the Exchange Party, then Seller shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange or otherwise incur any liability in connection with an Exchange; and (iv) the Exchange Party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-Exchange Party had the Exchange Party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange. Neither party shall by the terms set forth in

28



this Section 10.24 or acquiescence to the Exchange (a) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (b) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the Exchange Party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. Subject always to the foregoing, each party agrees to cooperate with the other party to effect the Exchange.
10.25SEC Reporting Requirements. Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser may be required to make certain filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC Filings") that relate to the most recent preacquisition fiscal year and the current fiscal year through the date of acquisition for the Property. In connection therewith, for a period of one (1) year following Closing, Seller agrees to provide access to those items set forth on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto as requested by Purchaser. In that regard, Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser will be required after the Closing Date to comply with certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission; accordingly, Seller shall comply with the provisions set forth in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof in order to facilitate such compliance by Purchaser. If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall deliver a representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Representation Letter”). Seller’s obligations, liabilities and duties under and pursuant to this Section 10.25 shall be subject to and limited by the following, including without limitation, Purchaser’s acknowledgements, agreements and other obligations, liabilities and duties set forth hereinbelow:
10.25.1Seller will only provide (or provide reasonable access to) the items specifically listed on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto that are in Seller’s possession.
10.25.2Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser or anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser for the integrity or accuracy of the materials provided pursuant to Exhibit B-1 or for the statements set forth in the Representation Letter. In no event shall any of the statements set forth in the Representation Letter constitute a representation and warranty of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement. The waivers and releases of Purchaser in Section 10.18 above shall apply to any and all claims against Seller (and its predecessors, affiliates, partners, trustees, shareholders members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents) arising out of or relating to the integrity or accuracy of the materials provided pursuant to Exhibit B-1 or the statements set forth in the Representation Letter
10.25.3Neither Purchaser nor anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s accountants, auditors and investors) shall use the materials listed on Exhibit B-1, the statement set forth in the Representation Letter and/or the data, audit or results of the audit to make a claim against or seek damages from Seller in connection with an alleged breach of this Agreement or otherwise, except in connection with the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller and/or Asset Manager.  Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Asset Manager, as well as their officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, managers, members, partners and shareholders free and harmless of, from and against any and all Claims arising out of, resulting from or related to any such Claim by anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s accountants, auditors and investors), which Claim is finally adjudicated and results in a determination of no liability or no fault of or by Seller and/or Asset Manager.  A final adjudication shall include, without limitation, a dismissal of any Claim or cause of action with prejudice, a summary judgment in favor of Seller and the like that becomes final and non-appealable.  The indemnity and related obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Subsection 10.25.3 shall survive the Closing for the statute of limitations period applicable to such claim.
10.25.4The cost of performing the audit, including any fees to be paid to the auditor(s) shall be solely the responsibility, obligation and liability of Purchaser.
10.25.5The foregoing covenants and obligations of Seller in this Section 10.25, including the obligations set forth in Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2, shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Section 10.25 shall not be construed to limit or negate any liability of Seller for a breach of a representation and warranty of Seller expressly set forth in Section7.1 of this Agreement subject, however, to the limitations imposed in Section 7.3 through Section 7.5 of this Agreement as well as the first sentence of Section 10.25.3 above.

10.26Skylight Litigation. Reference is hereby made to SFV Safari, LLC, et al. v. Acralight Solar, LLC, et al., San Bernardino Superior Court Case No. CIVDS1602519 (the “Skylight Litigation”).  Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole discretion, to enter into a settlement agreement and effectuate a monetary settlement of the Skylight Litigation.  Alternatively, at any time, Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole discretion, to dismiss the Skylight Litigation without prejudice, in which event Seller shall be deemed to have assigned to Purchaser any claims that Seller has as the plaintiff pursuant to the Skylight Litigation.  Any net proceeds obtained by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with the Skylight Litigation (e.g., after deduction for Seller’s costs and, if applicable, Purchaser’s costs incurred in connection with the Skylight Litigation) shall be split equally between Purchaser and Seller. The terms of this Section 10.26 shall survive the Closing.
10.27Package Deal; Cross-Default. Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of the date hereof by and between SVF Safari, LLC and Purchaser (as amended, the “Buildings 7-17 PSA”). Seller has advised Purchaser that transaction described in this Agreement and the transaction described in the Buildings 7-17 PSA are a “package deal”. Accordingly, in the event that the Buildings 7-17 PSA is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (and similarly, in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then the Buildings 7-17 PSA shall also automatically terminate). Similarly, a default by Purchaser under this Agreement shall constitute a default by Purchaser under the Buildings 7-17 PSA (and, a default by Purchaser under the Buildings 7-17 PSA shall constitute a default by Purchaser hereunder). The Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Closing under the Buildings 7-17 PSA, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Buildings 7-17 PSA. As a result, and as may be necessary to accommodate a simultaneous closing, the closing dates under either or both of this Agreement and the Buildings 7-17 PSA shall be extended, as necessary, without any other modifications to the terms of either contract. The terms of this Section 10.27 shall survive the Closing.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, upon expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Earnest Money shall be considered nonrefundable and shall be held and disbursed by Escrow Holder pursuant to Subsection 2.2.1, Section 2.4, Section 3.2, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 7.3, Section 8.1, Section 8.2 and Article 9 as well as any other applicable provision of this Agreement.
1.4Independent Contract Consideration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason which entitles Purchaser to the return of the Earnest Money, then the sum of One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) of such Earnest Money (the “Independent Contract Consideration”) shall be paid to Seller from the Earnest Money, which amount Seller and Purchaser have bargained for and agreed to as independent and sufficient consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement. The Independent Contract Consideration is non-refundable and separate consideration from any other payment or deposit required by this Agreement, and Seller shall retain the Independent Contract Consideration upon any termination of this Agreement notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary.
1.5Allocation of Purchase Price and Earnest Money. Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate the Purchase Price and the Earnest Money among the Buildings comprising the Property in accordance with the allocations set forth on Schedule 1.5 attached hereto. The provisions of this Section 1.5 shall survive the Closing.

To the extent such items are in Seller’s (or American Realty Advisor’s (“Asset Manager”) or PM Realty Group’s (“Property Manager”)) actual possession, Seller shall provide (or has provided) to Purchaser the following or a copy of the same (the “Property Information”) on or before the Effective Date:
2.1.1Financial Information. The most recently available operating income statements respecting the Property for the three (3) calendar years preceding the Effective Date (or such lesser period as Seller has held record title to the Property);

2.1.6Survey. That certain survey of the Property prepared by JRN Civil Engineers dated January 31, 2017 (File No. 16193).
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Seller be required to deliver or make available any documents or other information that is/are privileged, confidential or proprietary, including, without limitation, appraisals, budgets and property condition reports or property assessments. From time to time, Seller, Asset Manager or Seller’s Broker may make to Purchaser certain disclosures, including without limitation any disclosures required by law. After written request from Seller, upon receipt of any such disclosure, Purchaser shall prepare, execute and date an acknowledgment of the receipt and review thereof and return the same to Seller.

2.2Due Diligence.
2.2.1Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, have access to the Property (subject to the terms of this Agreement) until the Closing Date but shall only have through the last day of the Due Diligence Period in which to, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute judgment and discretion, determine whether the Property is acceptable to Purchaser; provided however, Purchaser hereby waives all seismic hazard related due diligence inspections. Purchaser shall promptly notify Seller, in writing, upon Purchaser’s receipt of the draft environmental site assessment with respect to the Real Property from Purchaser’s consultant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller (“Due Diligence Termination Notice”), so long as such notice is received by Seller at or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the last day of the Due Diligence Period. Unless Purchaser timely delivers the Due Diligence Termination Notice to Seller, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have no further right or opportunity to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Subsection 2.2.1. If this Agreement terminates pursuant to this Subsection 2.2.1, the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be refunded to Purchaser immediately upon Purchaser’s written request, Purchaser shall return and/or deliver to Seller all documents, information, reports, etc., including without limitation the Property Information, provided in physical form by Seller, including Asset Manager, Property Manager and Broker, and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except any provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser so elects

5



to terminate this Agreement, then Purchaser shall also deliver to Seller, upon Seller’s written request, copies of all third party reports, investigations and studies, other than economic analyses (collectively, the “Reports” and, individually, a “Report”) prepared for, and delivered to, Purchaser in connection with its due diligence review of the Property provided that Seller reimburses Purchaser for the actual cost incurred by Purchaser to obtain the Reports; provided that Seller shall have no right to receive such Reports if the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as a result of a Seller default. Such Reports shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto, and Seller shall have no right to rely on any Report without the written consent of the party preparing same. Purchaser’s obligations under and pursuant to this Subsection 2.2.1 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
2.2.2Subject always to the terms of the Leases, including the rights of the tenants under and/or pursuant to such Leases, upon at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior written notice to Seller, and after providing to Seller reasonably satisfactory evidence of appropriate liability insurance (i.e., at least $1,000,000.00 in coverage pursuant to a commercial general liability insurance policy, written on an occurrence basis, issued by an insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller and which includes a certificate of insurance naming Seller, Asset Manager and Property Manager as additional insureds), Purchaser shall have reasonable access to the Property for the purpose of conducting surveys, architectural, engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests (including, but subject to the qualifications, limitations and prohibitions set forth hereinbelow, intrusive inspection and sampling, if there is a reasonable basis for the same and provided Purchaser gives Seller two (2) business days’ prior notice of any intrusive inspection or sampling, Purchaser obtains Seller’s prior written consent which, with respect to intrusive inspection or sampling, may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion and, prior to performing the same, Purchaser delivers a certificate of insurance to Seller evidencing that Purchaser has in place reasonable amounts of liability insurance for its activities on the Property and has named Seller, Asset Manager and Property Manager as additional insureds thereunder), and any other inspections, studies, or non-invasive tests reasonably required by Purchaser. Purchaser and its agents, employees, and representatives shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a continuing right of reasonable access to the Property during the pendency of this Agreement for the purposes permitted by this Agreement. In the course of its investigations, Purchaser may make (solely for the purpose of requesting copies of existing reports or the current zoning of the Property and without identifying the proposed sale) inquiries to third parties, such as municipal, local and other government officials and representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries, subject to the following: (a) Purchaser shall not contact tenants or Seller’s lenders, contractors or property managers without Seller’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, but may (for example) be conditioned upon Seller or Seller’s representative(s), if Seller so elects, being present, either in person or by telephone; and (b) Purchaser shall not request any governmental inspection or investigation of the Property. In any event, Purchaser shall not cause the Property to be encumbered by any liens and Purchaser will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller, Asset Manager, Property Manager and the Property free and harmless of, from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, but excluding consequential and punitive damages (“Claims”) asserted against Seller, Asset Manager, Property Manager or the Property or otherwise caused or suffered as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors and/or other consultants. The foregoing indemnity shall not, however, apply to the extent of (i) the mere discovery of a pre-existing condition at the Property; but it shall apply otherwise, including, without limitation, in the event and to the extent Purchaser’s investigation, due diligence and/or other acts or omissions cause, contribute to or exacerbate such or any other condition, or (ii) any Claims attributable to the negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller, Asset Manager or Property Manager. If any inspection, test or other entry disturbs the Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to the same condition as existed prior to any such inspection, test or other entry. The obligations of Purchaser under the preceding three (3) sentences shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
2.3Service Contracts. Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date, Purchaser will indicate in a written notice to Seller which Service Contract(s) Purchaser will assume and which Service Contract(s) will be terminated by Seller at or prior to Closing, provided Seller shall have no obligation to terminate (i) any Service Contract(s) which by its (their) terms cannot be terminated without penalty or payment of a fee or (ii) any Service Contract Purchaser desires to be terminated but with respect to which Purchaser does not provide to Seller sufficient advance notice of the desired termination. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver such written notice, Purchaser shall be deemed to have assumed all of the Service Contracts. Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service Contracts which Purchaser has agreed to assume (or is deemed to have assumed) or which Seller is not required to

6



terminate as set forth above. Seller shall terminate at Closing all Service Contracts that are not so assumed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall terminate at Closing, and Purchaser shall not assume, any property or asset management agreement, any leasing services agreement and any insurance affecting the Property; and, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, such agreements and/or contracts shall not, in any event, be or be deemed to be Service Contracts.
2.4Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall make commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser, prior to the Closing, tenant estoppel certificates from all tenants under Leases in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto or such other form as is required or permitted by the relevant Lease(s). In the event that, as of the date that is five (5) business days prior to the originally scheduled Closing Date, Seller is unable to obtain said estoppel certificates from Damao Luggage, Pacific Edge Marketing, Free Free USA, and BB Crafts (each, a “Key Tenant and collectively, the “Key Tenants”), and (iv) tenants (including Key Tenants) leasing, in the aggregate, not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the total leased rentable square feet of the Improvements (together the “Estoppel Delivery Requirement”), then Seller shall have the right to deliver a written notice to Purchaser extending the Closing Date until the earlier to occur of (a) the date that is five (5) business days after the satisfaction of the Estoppel Delivery Requirement or (b) the date that is thirty (30) days after the originally scheduled Closing Date. In the event that, (1) as of the Closing Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence), Seller is unable to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Requirement, or (2) Purchaser does not approve an estoppel certificate (if permitted pursuant to the terms of this provision), Purchaser may elect (in a written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder prior to the Closing) to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Earnest Money; and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above. However, the failure of Seller to obtain any tenant estoppel certificate, notwithstanding Seller’s commercially reasonable efforts (or the refusal of Seller to correct any claimed default by landlord under a Lease) shall not be and shall not be deemed to be a breach of or default under this Agreement. Purchaser may disapprove any signed tenant estoppel certificate (i) dated earlier than the Effective Date, (ii) which contains material changes (including a claimed default by landlord), or (iii) which contains a material error in the factual information set forth therein based on the applicable Lease. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if a tenant modifies or deletes Section 7 of the form estoppel attached hereto as Exhibit H, such modification and/or deletion shall not invalidate such estoppel certificate. Seller may, but need not, satisfy up to one-fifth (1/5th) of the seventy-five percent (75%) requirement set forth herein by providing a landlord estoppel(s) on substantially the same form as the tenant estoppel; provided, however, that (A) a landlord estoppel certificate shall not be acceptable in lieu of a tenant estoppel certificate for any of the Key Tenants, and (B) if Seller subsequently obtains an estoppel certificate meeting the requirements of this Section 2.4 from a tenant for which Seller has delivered a landlord estoppel certificate, then the related delivered landlord estoppel certificate shall be null and void, and Purchaser shall accept such estoppel certificate in its place.
ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
3.1Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey. If not already provided, Seller and/or Purchaser shall request that Title Company cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser and its counsel (as well as to Seller and its counsel), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Effective Date, a commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report issued by Title Company (the “Title Commitment”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, with Purchaser as the proposed insured, accompanied by copies of all documents referred to in the Title Commitment. Seller has ordered a current ALTA-ACSM Urban survey of the Property (“Survey”) and shall provide a copy of said Survey to Purchaser upon Seller’s receipt of the Survey. If Purchaser elects to obtain the same, Purchaser shall order copies of Uniform Commercial Code searches in the name of Seller and the Property issued by the Title Company or a search company acceptable to Purchaser (“UCC Searches”).
3.2Title Review and Cure. During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment and the Survey. Also during the Due Diligence Period, Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in curing any reasonable objections Purchaser may have with respect to matters disclosed on the Title Commitment of which Purchaser notifies Seller at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period; provided, however, that (i) Seller shall not have any obligation to spend money or incur any other obligation, liability or duty in connection with such cooperation, except as hereafter provided in this Section 3.2; (ii) Purchaser shall have no obligation to accept any cure proposed by Seller; and (iii) except as otherwise specifically provided below

7



in this Section 3.2, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as a result of the existence or continued existence of title or survey matters, issues and/or objections, except as set forth below with respect to a revision to the Title Commitment. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller (as well as past due and payable taxes and assessments and mechanic’s liens resulting from work performed by, or at the direction of, Seller (but expressly excluding mechanics liens resulting from work performed by, or at the direction of, a tenant)), which liens Seller shall cause to be released (at Seller’s expense, including any recording fees incurred or to be incurred in connection therewith) at or prior to the Closing. Seller further agrees to remove (at Seller’s expense, including any recording fees incurred or to be incurred in connection therewith) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent. In addition to Purchaser’s termination right as set forth in Subsection 2.2.1, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add or modify any exceptions which materially adversely affect the Property, or to add or modify the conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Purchaser and agreed to be provided by Title Company during the Due Diligence Period, if such additions or modifications are in writing, are not reasonably acceptable to Purchaser and are not removed by the Closing Date (and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above). Seller’s obligations as set forth in, but as limited by, the second, third and fourth sentences of this Section 3.2 shall apply to all matters disclosed by any revision to the Title Commitment by the Title Company after expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and Purchaser shall have the right to object to such newly disclosed matters described in the immediately preceding sentence by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder delivered no later than three (3) business days following receipt of such revision to the Title Commitment. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include the following: (i) the exceptions that are a part of the promulgated title insurance form (i.e., the so-called “general exceptions” or “standard exceptions,” whether or not the same are printed, preprinted or otherwise), except to the extent the same are removed as a result of (a) Seller providing an Owner’s Affidavit, ALTA Statement and/or Gap Indemnity or other affidavit as contemplated by Section 3.3 below or (b) Purchaser’s actions, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, including, without limitation, the provision (or update) of a Survey, if Purchaser so elects; (ii) the specific exceptions (i.e., the “special” or other exceptions that are not part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that Title Company has not agreed to insure over or remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Due Diligence Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; (iii) matters created by, through or under Purchaser; (iv) items shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Due Diligence Period; (v) real estate taxes not yet due and payable; (vi) the rights of tenants pursuant to the Leases; and (vii) the impact of any federal, state, local and other laws, rules, regulations and ordinances, including without limitation, zoning ordinances.
3.3Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. The parties shall instruct Title Company to issue at Closing, or to unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, the Title Company’s most current form of standard (i.e., not extended) ALTA (or other customarily provided non-ALTA) owner’s coverage (the “Owner’s Policy”) insuring Purchaser’s title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions as well as any and all other standard or required exclusions. If further coverage (e.g., ALTA or ALTA extended coverage) or endorsements are desired by Purchaser, Purchaser shall order the same directly from Title Company and shall undertake all actions which may be required as a condition to the issuance of such further coverage or endorsements. Seller shall not be obligated to undertake any action or pay any monies as a condition precedent to the issuance of such further coverage or endorsements to the Owner’s Policy which would not otherwise be required of Seller in regard to the issuance of a standard coverage owner’s policy or to remove any standard exceptions therefrom requiring more of Seller than delivery of (i) a “Gap Indemnity” (e.g., an indemnity for the so-called title “gap”) in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto and (ii) an “Owner’s Affidavit,” “ALTA Statement” or other affidavit in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto.
3.4Title and Survey Costs; Escrow Fees. The cost to prepare the Title Commitment and the premium for the (base/standard) Owner’s Policy shall be paid by Seller. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for the cost incurred by Seller to procure the Survey. The premium for any upgrade to ALTA extended coverage (i.e., providing for the deletion of regional exceptions) and/or any other upgrade in coverage, including without limitation endorsements, and the cost of any UCC Searches, litigation searches and the like shall be paid by Purchaser. Except as otherwise provided herein, Escrow Holder’s charges and/or fees shall be paid as follows: one-half (½) by Seller and one-half

8



(½) by Purchaser. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all other charges shall be allocated in accordance with customary practice for commercial real estate transactions in the locale of the Property (i.e., Ontario, California).
ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
4.1Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement:
4.1.1Performance under Leases and Service Contracts. Seller will perform, in a manner consistent with its prior performance, the obligations of landlord under the Leases as well as its monetary obligations under the Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect the Property.
4.1.2New Contracts. Seller will not enter into, amend or terminate any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property subsequent to the Closing, except contracts entered into, amended or terminated in the ordinary course of business that are terminable without cause and without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’ prior notice.
4.1.3Maintenance of Improvements. Subject to Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 below (as well as the obligations of tenants under Leases (e.g., Purchaser shall not look to Seller for the performance of maintenance required by a tenant under a Lease), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain all Improvements in their present condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear, damage and destruction, as well as rights and obligations of tenants, excepted).
4.1.4Removal of Personal Property. Seller will not remove any Tangible Personal Property, except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal as reasonably determined by Seller.
4.1.5Leasing Arrangements. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller will continue to lease and otherwise operate the Property in accordance with Seller’s usual custom and practice; provided, however, that after the date that is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller will not voluntarily amend, terminate or enter into any Lease without Purchaser’s prior written consent in each instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Seller shall provide Purchaser with a copy of any executed term sheet or executed letter of intent for any new Lease and for any renewal, extension or early termination of an existing Lease (provided, however, that if such renewal, extension or early termination is made pursuant to an express right in the existing Lease, then Seller shall not be required to provide such term sheet or letter of intent to the extent that all rental amounts payable during the renewal or extension term, or fees payable in connection with the early termination, are set forth with specificity in the existing Lease and are not being modified). Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a proposed amendment, termination or new Lease within three (3) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of (i) a copy of such amendment, termination or Lease, (ii) any reasonably relevant supporting documentation, including without limitation financial information, in Seller’s possession, (iii) Seller’s written request for approval, and (iv)  information regarding tenant improvement costs and brokerage commissions to be incurred with respect to the amendment, termination or Lease. If Purchaser fails to timely deliver a written notice of approval or disapproval, Purchaser shall be deemed to have provided its approval.
4.1.6Notices. Seller shall promptly furnish to Purchaser copies of any written notices received by Seller after the Effective Date, which notices relate to (i) any suit, judgment or other proceeding filed, entered or threatened with respect to the Property or Seller’s use or ownership thereof, (ii) any actual or contemplated changes in zoning of the Property or any other legal requirement which would adversely affect the operation, use, ownership or maintenance of the Property, (iii) any notices from any governmental agencies or other authorities that the Property is in violation of any Federal, state, county or municipal law, code, rule or regulation applicable to the Property, and (iv) any default by any other party or notice of claim of default by Seller made by any other party under any of the Leases or the Service Contracts.

9



4.1.7Insurance. Seller shall keep continuously in full force and effect from the Effective Date through the day upon which the Closing occurs all insurance policies carried by Seller with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, earthquake insurance.
4.2Damage. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the Improvements or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such damage or destruction (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be immediately returned to Purchaser (and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above), or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, receive an assignment of the payment of any insurance proceeds (including calculated rent loss insurance, if any, applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for such repair, and Purchaser shall (except as provided for below and subject to the limitations herein) receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or Seller/self-insured amount under applicable property or casualty/liability insurance policies less any costs or expenses incurred by Seller prior to the Closing in connection with the repair of such damage. Purchaser and Seller shall collaboratively work together to file such claim for all of the damage which may reasonably be claimed under the insurance policy or insurance policies; provided, however, any final settlement of such claim shall be determined by Seller. If the Improvements are not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not (except as otherwise expressly provided below) have the right to terminate this Agreement, but Seller shall, at its cost, repair the damage before the Closing in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or, if repairs cannot be completed before the Closing or if Seller otherwise elects (in Seller’s sole discretion) not to commence or complete such repairs, assign to Purchaser the payment of any insurance proceeds (including calculated rent loss insurance, if any, applicable to any period on and after the Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction (less any amounts expended by Seller for repairs made by Seller prior to Closing). For the purposes of this Agreement, “material damage” and “materially damaged” means damage (i) based upon reasonable contractor repair/restoration estimates obtained by Seller exceeding ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price to repair or (ii) that would permit tenants leasing in the aggregate twenty percent (20%) or more of the rentable square footage of the Property to terminate their Leases pursuant to the terms thereof (unless a sufficient number of such tenants waive in writing their right to terminate, no later than two (2) business days prior to the last day upon which Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2, such that tenants with remaining termination rights lease in the aggregate less than such twenty percent (20%) threshold in the Property). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in the event (y) of an uninsured loss reasonably estimated to be in excess of $25,000.00, and (z) Seller, in Seller’s sole discretion, notifies Purchaser, in writing, that Seller has elected not to provide Purchaser with a credit, at Closing, for the estimated amount of such uninsured loss in excess of $25,000.00 (less any costs incurred by Seller prior to Closing in connection with the repair of such damage), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller prior to the earlier to occur of (1) the date that is five (5) business days after Purchaser receives the written notice from Seller as described in clause (z) above or (2) the Closing Date, in which event the Earnest Money shall be returned to Purchaser and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above. For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, an “uninsured loss” shall include, but not be limited to, any loss or portion thereof that is not covered by insurance or falls under or within the deductible amount of the relevant insurance policy or policies. Seller shall make the election set forth in clause (z) above on or prior to the date that is ten (10) business days after Seller obtains knowledge of the amount of the uninsured loss, based upon reasonable contractor repair/restoration estimates obtained by Seller (such date, the “Uninsured Loss Determination Date”); provided, however, that if the Uninsured Loss Determination Date has not occurred as of the Closing Date, then Purchaser or Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date until the date that is five (5) business days after the Uninsured Loss Determination Date occurs provided Seller delivers written notice to Purchaser of such election to extend the Closing Date prior to the occurrence of the then scheduled Closing Date.
4.3Condemnation. In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are threatened in writing or instituted by any body or entity having the power of eminent domain with respect to the entire Property or any material portion thereof as reflected in a written notice received by Seller, Purchaser may, at its option by notice to Seller given within ten (10) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date shall be extended to give Purchaser the full ten (10) day period to make such election), either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be immediately returned to Purchaser (and

10



such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above), or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the right during the pendency of this Agreement to participate in negotiations with the condemning authority in respect of such matter. A “material portion”, as used herein, shall be deemed to be subject to the eminent domain proceedings if (i) the Estimated Value of the portion of the Property taken exceeds ten percent (10%) of the Purchase Price or (ii) the taking would permit tenants leasing in the aggregate twenty (20%) or more of the rentable square footage in the entire Property to terminate their Leases pursuant to the terms thereof (unless a sufficient number of such tenants waive in writing their right to terminate, no later than two (2) business days prior to the last day upon which Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.3, such that tenants with remaining termination rights lease in the aggregate less than such twenty percent (20%) threshold in the Property). The phrase “Estimated Value” shall mean an estimate obtained from a M.A.I. appraiser, who has at least five (5) years’ experience evaluating property located in the county where the Real Property is located, similar in nature and function to that of the Property, selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser.
4.4Termination. If this Agreement is terminated as set forth in Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be refunded to Purchaser, and all further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except for any provisions which, by their terms, survive the termination of this Agreement (and such termination shall otherwise be in accordance with the last four (4) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1 above).
ARTICLE 5: CLOSING
5.1Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein (“Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of Escrow Holder. Closing shall occur through an escrow with Escrow Holder. Funds shall be deposited into and held by Escrow Holder in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon satisfaction or completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct Escrow Holder to, and Escrow Holder shall, immediately record and deliver the closing documents to the appropriate parties and make disbursements according to closing statements executed by Seller and Purchaser. Escrow Holder shall (and does, by its execution of this Agreement, hereby) agree in writing with Purchaser (i) that deposit of the Deed with the appropriate recorder’s office (or that Escrow Holder holds the Deed for as well as in anticipation of depositing it with the recorder’s office, shall do so and that the same) constitutes Escrow Holder’s representation that Escrow Holder is holding the closing documents (other than the Deed, if already deposited with the recorder’s office), closing funds and closing statements and is prepared and irrevocably committed to disburse the closing funds in accordance with the closing statements and (ii) that release of funds to Seller shall irrevocably commit Title Company to issue the Owner’s Policy in accordance with this Agreement. Provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable Escrow Holder to comply with the terms of this Agreement; however, the supplemental escrow instructions shall not act to extend or provide any extension of any period(s) of performance, notice, grace or cure under this Agreement unless specifically referenced and agreed to, in writing, by both Purchaser and Seller or their respective counsel. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Closing may occur on a “gap” basis, in which event Seller shall deliver to the Title Company a “Gap Indemnity” (e.g., an indemnity for the so-called title “gap”) in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto or such other form as reasonably required by the Title Company.
5.2Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Close. In addition to all other conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:
5.2.1The other party’s representations and warranties as set forth in, and subject to the terms of, Article 7 below shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date and the Closing Date;

If Seller has paid any utilities more than thirty (30) days in advance in the ordinary course of business, then Purchaser shall be charged its portion of such payment at Closing.

As used herein, the term “Cap” shall mean the total aggregate amount of $2,730,000. In no event shall Seller’s aggregate liability to Purchaser for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller in this Agreement, in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered by Seller in connection with this Agreement, the Closing, or otherwise, exceed the amount of the

19



Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the Cap shall not apply to or limit Seller’s liability (i) under Section 6.2 above, Section 6.6 above, and Section 10.9 below or (ii) for fraud.
ARTICLE 8: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1Seller’s Default. If this transaction fails to close as a result of Seller’s default, then Purchaser, as Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedies hereunder, may elect to either (i) commence an action for specific performance or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller and receive from Seller the actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Purchaser and paid to unrelated or unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with Purchaser’s review and preparation to purchase the Property (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) up to the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) (the “Expense Reimbursement”), Purchaser thereby waiving the right to sue Seller for monetary damages or for any remedies available at law or in equity. If Purchaser elects to commence an action for specific performance, Purchaser must commence any such action within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date. If, however, the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available as a result of Seller’s conveyance of the Property to a third-party in violation of this Agreement, Purchaser may seek any other monetary remedy available at law for such default by Seller, subject, however, to the following: In no event shall Seller’s liability exceed the sum of (i) the difference between the Purchase Price of this Agreement and the sales price to such third-party and (ii) the Expense Reimbursement. For purposes of this Section 8.1, specific performance shall be considered not available to Purchaser (i) if a court of competent jurisdiction declines to grant the remedy of specific performance, (ii) if the nature of Seller’s default is such that, upon obtaining specific performance, Purchaser will receive materially less than Purchaser bargained for in this Agreement or (iii) if Seller has conveyed the Property to a third party. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1, then the Earnest Money (but not the Independent Contract Consideration) shall be returned to Purchaser and such termination shall otherwise be as provided in the last four (4) sentences of Section 2.2.1 above.
8.2Purchaser’s Default. If this transaction fails to close due to the default of Purchaser, then (in accordance with, but subject to, Section 9.4 below) Seller’s sole remedy in (i.e., with respect to) such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to receive and retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of (i.e., in connection with) such default by Purchaser; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit Seller’s other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or as a result of another breach, default or failure to perform by Purchaser including, without limitation, Seller’s right to receive, keep and retain the Independent Contract Consideration. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a default by Purchaser under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any right of Seller to liquidated damages shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any indemnity obligation, liability or duty of Purchaser and such other obligations, liabilities and duties as are provided and/or referenced in Section 9.4. In the event of a default by Purchaser which does not result in a failure to close, Seller shall, subject to the terms of Section 7.3, have all rights and remedies provided by this Agreement as well as those provided by law and equity.
8.3Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay or reimburse the other party, as appropriate, for any fees or charges due to the Escrow Holder for holding the Earnest Money as well as any escrow cancellation or termination fees or charges and any fees or charges due to the Title Company for preparation, termination and/or cancellation of the Title Commitment. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties pursuant to this Section 8.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Additionally, any obligation, liability or duty of Purchaser under this Section 8.3 shall be in addition to Purchaser’s obligations, liabilities and duties as set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 9.4.
ARTICLE 9: EARNEST MONEY PROVISIONS
9.1Investment and Use of Funds. Escrow Holder shall invest the Earnest Money in a federally insured interest-bearing account or accounts satisfactory to Purchaser (as provided in Section 1.3 above), shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of Escrow Holder or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, and the Earnest Money (or any

20



portion of it) has not previously been released to Seller, Escrow Holder shall deliver the Earnest Money (or any portion of it) to Seller on the Closing Date.
9.2Termination Before Expiration of Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period pursuant to Subsection 2.2.1, Escrow Holder shall immediately pay the entire Earnest Money (including interest earned thereon) to Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice from Purchaser and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate. No notice to Escrow Holder from Seller shall be required for the release of the Earnest Money to Purchaser by Escrow Holder in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that Escrow Holder shall confirm that Seller timely received from Purchaser (i) the required Due Diligence Termination Notice and (ii) the Independent Contract Consideration.
9.3After Expiration of Due Diligence Period. After expiration of the Due Diligence Period (and except as provided in Subsection 2.2.1, Section 2.4, Section 3.2, Section 4.2, Section 4.3, Section 7.3, Section 8.1, Section 8.2, and Section 9.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement), Escrow Holder shall retain the Earnest Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Earnest Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Earnest Money to a particular party(ies), in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment. Section 9.4 shall be considered Seller’s and Purchaser’s executed written instructions to Escrow Holder with respect to the matters set forth therein.
9.4LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT THAT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BY REASON OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH DAMAGES WOULD INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, SELLER’S LOST SALE OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE PERIOD THAT THE PROPERTY IS TAKEN OFF THE MARKET; AND (II), TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, THE EARNEST MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN SUCH EVENT. CONSEQUENTLY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BY REASON OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE ENTIRE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY; PURCHASER SHALL MAKE, GIVE, JOIN IN, EXECUTE AND/OR DELIVER TO ESCROW HOLDER ANY INSTRUMENT REQUIRED IN THIS REGARD. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS (AND ANY OTHER SIMILAR PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL, HOWEVER, IN NO WAY LIMIT (A) PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND/OR RELATED OR SIMILAR OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES OR DUTIES (E.G., PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION, LIABILITY AND DUTY TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND/OR HOLD HARMLESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 2.2, SECTION 6.6 AND/OR ELSEWHERE IN THIS AGREEMENT), (B) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY OR DUTY OF PURCHASER TO RETURN, DELIVER, ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR MAKE AVAILABLE TO SELLER DOCUMENTS, LICENSES, PERMITS, RESULTS OF DUE DILIGENCE OR OTHER INVESTIGATIONS AND THE LIKE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PROPERTY INFORMATION AND THE REPORTS, (C) SECTION 8.3 OR (D) SECTION 10.9, AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ((A), (B), (C) AND (D), COLLECTIVELY, THE “OTHER OBLIGATIONS”), IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES THAT THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL APPLY TO PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CLOSE, BUT SHALL NOT LIMIT THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES AND DUTIES OF PURCHASER SET FORTH AND/OR REFERENCED HEREINABOVE. SELLER’S RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ARTICLE 9 AND BY THEIR INITIALS IMMEDIATELY BELOW AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS:

9.5Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by Escrow Holder directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, Escrow Holder shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at Escrow Holder’s option, Escrow Holder may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction (in the county in which the Real Property is located) in which event Escrow Holder may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of Escrow Holder, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties under this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.6Liability of Escrow Holder. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Holder is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Holder shall not be deemed to be the agent of either Purchaser or Seller, and that Escrow Holder shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from Escrow Holder’s mistake of law respecting Escrow Holder’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Holder harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Holder’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Holder in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Holder.
ARTICLE 10: MISCELLANEOUS
10.1Purchaser Bound. Purchaser may not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be granted or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion), and any such prohibited assignment shall be void; provided, however, that (subject to (i) Purchaser and Affiliate (as defined below) providing to Seller written notice of such assignment, including evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Affiliate satisfies the definition of Affiliate set forth below, (ii) Purchaser confirming (in writing) to Seller that such assignment does not relieve or release Purchaser of liability, and (iii) Affiliate confirming (in writing) to Seller, on behalf of Affiliate (as if Affiliate is Purchaser), Purchaser’s representations and warranties as set forth in Section 6.6 and Section 7.2 as well as assuming, accepting and agreeing (in writing) to be bound by and perform each of Purchaser’s obligations, liabilities, duties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement) Purchaser may assign this Agreement, without Seller’s consent, to an Affiliate. No assignment shall release or relieve Purchaser from its obligations, liabilities and/or duties under this Agreement. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective legal representatives, successors, assigns, heirs and devisees of the parties. For the purposes of this Section 10.1, the term “Affiliate” means (a) an entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with the Purchaser or (b) an entity at least a majority of whose economic interest is owned by Purchaser; and the term “control” means the power to direct the management of such entity through voting rights, ownership or contractual obligations.

22



extent legally possible, effect shall be given to the intent manifested by the portion held invalid or inoperative. The failure by either party to enforce against the other any term or provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such party’s right to enforce against the other party the same or any other such term or provision in the future.
10.4Governing Law. This Agreement shall, in all respects, be governed, construed, applied, and enforced in accordance with the law of the State or Commonwealth in which the Real Property is located (i.e., California).

10.6Entirety and Amendments. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the Property. This Agreement may be amended or supplemented only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom enforcement is sought.

Purchaser shall be responsible for advising each Permitted Party of the confidential nature of all information related to this Agreement and each of the provisions of this Agreement. Purchaser shall cause each Permitted Party to hold and treat all information related to this Agreement and each of the provisions of this Agreement strictly confidential and otherwise in a manner consistent with the provisions of this Agreement applicable to Purchaser. “Permitted Parties” is defined as Purchaser’s lenders, attorneys, accountants, consultants, contractors, brokers, investors, creditors, officers, employees and agents; and each of such Permitted Parties is a “Permitted Party.” Prior to Closing, Purchaser shall not post (or permit the posting of) any jobs related to the Property and/or this transaction.

10.9Attorneys’ and Other Fees. Should either party institute any action or proceeding to enforce or interpret this Agreement or any provision hereof, for damages by reason of any alleged breach of this Agreement or any provision hereof, or for a declaration of rights hereunder, the prevailing party in any such action or proceeding shall be entitled to receive from the other party all costs and expenses, including actual attorneys’ and other fees, reasonably incurred in good faith by the prevailing party in connection with such action or proceeding. The term “attorneys’ and other fees” shall mean and include attorneys’ fees, accountants’ fees, and any and all consultants and other similar fees incurred in connection with the action or proceeding and preparations therefor.

A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt (or refusal of acceptance of delivery) of such notice. Copies of notices are for informational purposes only, and a failure to give or receive copies of any notice shall not be deemed a failure to give notice. Notices given by Purchaser’s counsel shall be deemed given by Purchaser and notices given by Seller’s counsel shall be deemed given by Seller.
10.11Construction.
10.11.1The parties acknowledge and agree that the parties and/or their counsel have reviewed, negotiated and revised this Agreement and agree 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 exhibits or amendments hereto.
10.11.2If any words or phrases in this Agreement shall have been stricken out or otherwise eliminated, whether or not any other words or phrases have been added, this Agreement shall be construed as if the words or phrases so stricken out or otherwise eliminated were never included in this Agreement and no implication or reference shall be drawn from the fact that said words or phrases were so stricken out or otherwise eliminated.

10.15Limitation of Liability. Any obligation or liability of Purchaser or Seller whatsoever which may arise at any time under this Agreement or any obligation or liability which may be incurred by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to any other instrument, transaction or undertaking contemplated hereby shall be satisfied, if at all, out of Purchaser’s or Seller’s assets only. No obligation or liability shall be personally binding upon, nor shall resort for the enforcement thereof be had to, the property of any of Purchaser’s or Seller’s limited partners, managers, members, trustees, officers, directors, employees, shareholders, representatives or agents (including, without limitation, Asset Manager and Property Manager), regardless of whether such obligation or liability is in the nature of contract, tort or otherwise.
10.16Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by either party at Closing, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or to further perfect the conveyance, transfer and assignment of the Property to Purchaser.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that (i) any reports or other information with respect to the Property which are delivered or otherwise made available by Seller to Purchaser shall be for general informational purposes only, (ii) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any such reports and/or information delivered or otherwise made available by Seller to Purchaser, but rather will rely on its own inspections and investigations of the Property and any reports commissioned by Purchaser with respect thereto, (iii) Purchaser shall not have any right to rely on any statements made by a representative of Seller, including without limitation, the Property Manager, any leasing agent or employee of Seller, and (iv) neither Seller, any affiliate of Seller nor the person or entity which prepared any such reports and/or information delivered or otherwise made available by Seller to Purchaser shall have any liability to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such reports and/or information.

10.18.3Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the waivers, releases and other provisions contained in this Section 10.18 as well as elsewhere in this Agreement, were a material factor in Seller’s acceptance of the Purchase Price and agreement to the terms of this Agreement, and that Seller is unwilling to sell the Property to Purchaser unless Seller is released and indemnified as expressly set forth herein. The releases by Purchaser set forth in this Agreement include claims of which Purchaser is presently unaware or which Purchaser does not presently suspect to exist which, if known by Purchaser, would materially affect Purchaser's release of Seller; provided that such releases shall not apply to Seller’s (i) fraud or (ii) obligations under this Agreement that expressly survive Closing. Purchaser specifically waives the provision of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:
“A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN TO HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

(Initials)

10.23References. The terms “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder,” as well as words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular article, section, subsection, paragraph, subparagraph, clause, or provision, unless expressly so stated.
10.24Section 1031 Exchange. Either party (such party, the “Exchange Party”) may consummate the purchase of the Property as part of a so-called “like kind” exchange (“Exchange”), including a “reverse” exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code”), provided that: (i) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the Exchange Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (ii) the Exchange Party shall effect the Exchange through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement, to a qualified intermediary and otherwise in complete compliance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (iii) if Purchaser is the Exchange Party, then Seller shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the Exchange or otherwise incur any liability in connection with an Exchange; and (iv) the Exchange Party shall pay any additional costs that would not otherwise have been incurred by the non-Exchange Party had the Exchange Party not consummated the transaction through an Exchange. Neither party shall by the terms set forth in this Section 10.24 or acquiescence to the Exchange (a) have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any manner or (b) be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to the Exchange Party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the Code or any other applicable law, rule or regulation. Subject always to the foregoing, each party agrees to cooperate with the other party to effect the Exchange.
10.25SEC Reporting Requirements.

28



therewith, for a period of one (1) year following Closing, Seller agrees to provide access to those items set forth on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto as requested by Purchaser. In that regard, Purchaser has advised Seller that Purchaser will be required after the Closing Date to comply with certain requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission; accordingly, Seller shall comply with the provisions set forth in Exhibit B-1 attached hereto and made a part hereof in order to facilitate such compliance by Purchaser. If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall deliver a representation letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B-2 (the “Representation Letter”). Seller’s obligations, liabilities and duties under and pursuant to this Section 10.25 shall be subject to and limited by the following, including without limitation, Purchaser’s acknowledgements, agreements and other obligations, liabilities and duties set forth hereinbelow:
10.25.1Seller will only provide (or provide reasonable access to) the items specifically listed on Exhibit B-1 attached hereto that are in Seller’s possession.
10.25.2Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser or anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser for the integrity or accuracy of the materials provided pursuant to Exhibit B-1 or for the statements set forth in the Representation Letter. In no event shall any of the statements set forth in the Representation Letter constitute a representation and warranty of Seller to Purchaser under this Agreement. The waivers and releases of Purchaser in Section 10.18 above shall apply to any and all claims against Seller (and its predecessors, affiliates, partners, trustees, shareholders members, directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents) arising out of or relating to the integrity or accuracy of the materials provided pursuant to Exhibit B-1 or the statements set forth in the Representation Letter
10.25.3Neither Purchaser nor anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s accountants, auditors and investors) shall use the materials listed on Exhibit B-1, the statement set forth in the Representation Letter and/or the data, audit or results of the audit to make a claim against or seek damages from Seller in connection with an alleged breach of this Agreement or otherwise, except in connection with the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of Seller and/or Asset Manager.  Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and Asset Manager, as well as their officers, directors, agents, representatives, employees, managers, members, partners and shareholders free and harmless of, from and against any and all Claims arising out of, resulting from or related to any such Claim by anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser (including, without limitation, Purchaser’s accountants, auditors and investors), which Claim is finally adjudicated and results in a determination of no liability or no fault of or by Seller and/or Asset Manager.  A final adjudication shall include, without limitation, a dismissal of any Claim or cause of action with prejudice, a summary judgment in favor of Seller and the like that becomes final and non-appealable.  The indemnity and related obligations of Purchaser set forth in this Subsection 10.25.3 shall survive the Closing for the statute of limitations period applicable to such claim.
10.25.4The cost of performing the audit, including any fees to be paid to the auditor(s) shall be solely the responsibility, obligation and liability of Purchaser.
10.25.5The foregoing covenants and obligations of Seller in this Section 10.25, including the obligations set forth in Exhibit B-1 and Exhibit B-2, shall survive Closing for a period of one (1) year. Seller acknowledges and agrees that the terms of this Section 10.25 shall not be construed to limit or negate any liability of Seller for a breach of a representation and warranty of Seller expressly set forth in Section7.1 of this Agreement subject, however, to the limitations imposed in Section 7.3 through Section 7.5 of this Agreement as well as the first sentence of Section 10.25.3 above.
10.26Skylight Litigation.  Reference is hereby made to SFV Safari, LLC, et al. v. Acralight Solar, LLC, et al., San Bernardino Superior Court Case No. CIVDS1602519 (the “Skylight Litigation”).  Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole discretion, to enter into a settlement agreement and effectuate a monetary settlement of the Skylight Litigation.  Alternatively, at any time, Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole discretion, to dismiss the Skylight Litigation without prejudice, in which event Seller shall be deemed to have assigned to Purchaser any claims that Seller has as the plaintiff pursuant to the Skylight Litigation.  Any net proceeds obtained by Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, in connection with the Skylight Litigation (e.g., after deduction for Seller’s costs and, if applicable, Purchaser’s costs incurred in connection with the Skylight Litigation) shall be split equally between Purchaser and Seller.  The terms of this Section 10.26 shall survive the Closing.

29



10.27Package Deal; Cross-Default. Reference is hereby made to that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale dated as of the date hereof by and between Safari Industrial Corporation and Purchaser (as amended, the “Buildings 1-6 PSA”). Seller has advised Purchaser that transaction described in this Agreement and the transaction described in the Buildings 1-6 PSA are a “package deal”. Accordingly, in the event that the Buildings 1-6 PSA is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate (and similarly, in the event that this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, then the Buildings 1-6 PSA shall also automatically terminate). Similarly, a default by Purchaser under this Agreement shall constitute a default by Purchaser under the Buildings 1-6 PSA (and, a default by Purchaser under the Buildings 1-6 PSA shall constitute a default by Purchaser hereunder). The Closing hereunder shall occur simultaneously with the Closing under the Buildings 1-6 PSA, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein or in the Buildings 1-6 PSA. As a result, and as may be necessary to accommodate a simultaneous closing, the closing dates under either or both of this Agreement and the Buildings 1-6 PSA shall be extended, as necessary, without any other modifications to the terms of either contract. The terms of this Section 10.27 shall survive the Closing.

“Adjusted EBITDA” means, as of any date, an amount equal to (a) the product of (1) EBITDA for the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries for the last fiscal quarter of the most recently ended Calculation Period, multiplied by (2) four minus (b) the aggregate Annual Capital Expenditure Adjustment for all Properties owned or leased (as ground lessee) by the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries as of the last day of such Calculation Period; provided that for purposes of this definition, in the case of any acquisition or Disposition of any direct



or indirect interest in any Property (including through the acquisition or Disposition of Equity Interests) by the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries after the first day of such fiscal quarter, EBITDA and the aggregate Annual Capital Expenditure Adjustment will be adjusted in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders (i) in the case of an acquisition, (A) by adding to EBITDA an amount equal to the acquired Property’s actual EBITDA (computed as if such Property was owned by the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries for the entire fiscal quarter) generated during the portion of such fiscal quarter that such Property was not owned by the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, and (B) by treating such Property as being owned on the last day of such fiscal quarter, and (ii) in the case of a Disposition, (A) by subtracting from EBITDA an amount equal to the actual EBITDA generated by such Property so disposed of during such fiscal quarter (computed as if such Property was Disposed of by the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries prior to the first day of such fiscal quarter) and (B) by treating such Property as not being owned on the last day of such fiscal quarter.
1.11.    The definition of “Capitalization Rate” contained in Schedule A to the Original Note Agreement shall be and hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Capitalization Rate” means 6.25%; provided that if one or more Material Credit Facilities provides for a “capitalization rate” or similar rate that is higher than 6.25%, then the “Capitalization Rate” shall be the highest of such higher rates; provided, further, that if at any time the “capitalization rate” or a similar rate under a Material Credit Facility is modified, or included, to apply differently based on the type of property to which it applies, the applicable rate under this definition shall be similarly modified, or included, to apply differently based on the type of property to which it applies for so long as such rate shall remain in effect under such Material Credit Facility).
1.12.    The definition of “Fixed Charges” contained in Schedule A to the Original Note Agreement shall be and hereby is amended in its entirety to read as follows:

“Fixed Charges” means, for the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, for any period, the sum (without duplication) of (a) Interest Expense required to be paid in cash during such period, plus (b) scheduled principal payments on account of Indebtedness of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (excluding any balloon payments on any Indebtedness, but only to the extent that the amount of such balloon payment is greater than the scheduled principal payment immediately preceding such balloon payment), plus (c) Restricted Payments paid in cash (other than to the Parent Guarantor or Subsidiary) with respect to preferred Equity Interests of the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, plus (d) the amounts described in clauses (a) and (b) above of each Unconsolidated Affiliate multiplied by the respective Unconsolidated Affiliate Interest in such Unconsolidated Affiliate, all for such period; provided that Fixed Charges for any such period shall be adjusted on a pro forma basis in a manner reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders to reflect any Indebtedness incurred, assumed, repaid, retired or defeased, as the case may be, in connection with the acquisition or Disposition of any direct or indirect interest in any Property (including through the acquisition or Disposition of Equity Interests) by the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries during such period as though such Indebtedness was incurred, assumed, repaid, retired or defeased, as the case may be, on the first day of such period.
