R E C I T A L S:
A. Optionor is the owner of certain real property situated in the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles, State of California, as more particularly described on Exhibit 1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (the Real Property), which Real Property is currently improved with two (2) office buildings designated hereinafter as Building 1 and Building 2 located at 5510 and 5570 Lincoln Boulevard, respectively, Los Angeles, California. Optionor and Optionee acknowledge that Optionor may, in the future, construct another building on the Real Property, to be referred to herein as Building 3. Building 1, Building 2, and, when applicable, Building 3, together with the Real Property and all improvements thereon and appurtenances thereto are hereinafter, collectively, referred to as the Project. The Project is being developed in two phases (hereinafter, Phase I and Phase II). Phase I consists of the portion of the Real Property on which Building 1 and Building 2 are located, Building 1 and Building 2 and all improvements and appurtenances related thereto. Phase II consists of the that portion of the Real Property on which Building 3 will be located, Building 3, when constructed, and all improvements and appurtenances related thereto, including but not limited to, an approximately 60,000 square foot athletic field defined in the Lease (as defined below) as the Field (the Field) to be constructed in connection therewith. The portions of the Real Property on which each of Building 1, Building 2 and Building 3 are located are each separate, legally subdivided parcels, as shown in Exhibit A-1.
B. Pursuant to that certain Office Lease (as the same may be amended from time to time, the Lease), by and between Optionor and Optionee, Optionee has agreed to lease from Optionor certain premises situated on Phase I, the Field and a portion of any parking garage hereafter which may be constructed under the Field. This Option Agreement shall not be applicable to Phase II of the Project or the sale of any portion thereof, except as specifically provided herein.
C. In connection with, and as partial consideration for, Optionees entering into the Lease, Optionor agrees to grant to Optionee (i) an ongoing right of first offer to purchase any and all permitted portions (as hereinafter set forth) of the Project that Optionor elects to sell at any time during the term of the Lease, including any extensions thereof (the Lease Term), provided Optionor shall only offer to sell to Optionee either all of Phase I, individually, or all of Phase I and Phase II, collectively, and may not sell or offer to sell only a portion of any applicable Phase, and Optionor shall not have the obligation to offer Phase II to Optionee, if Optionor intends to sell Phase II individually, (ii) an option to purchase Phase I of the Project, as of the fifth (5th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date (as that term is defined in the Lease) and (iii) an option to purchase Phase I of the Project as of the tenth (10th) anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date, each upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Option

1.2.1 Acceptance of Offer by Optionee. If Optionee wishes to exercise its Right of First Offer in response to a First Offer Notice, then within ten (10) business days following Optionees receipt of the First Offer Notice (the Optionees Notice Period), Optionee shall notify Optionor in writing either (i) of Optionees exercise of the Right of First Offer or (ii) of Optionees interest in exercising the Right of First Offer, subject to a reservation of right to further negotiate the ROFO Purchase Price and/or any other terms of the First Offer Notice in its sole and absolute discretion (Optionees Exercise Notice).

Exercise Notice (the Negotiation Period) the terms of the First Offer Notice, including, if requested by Optionee, the ROFO Purchase Price. Optionor will act in good faith as to scheduling and attending meetings with Optionee during the Negotiation Period, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed in any manner to require Optionor to agree to change any terms of Optionors First Offer Notice or the Purchase Agreement, and any such changes may be made or rejected by Optionor, in Optionors sole and absolute discretion, without any requirement that Optionor do so acting in good faith. If, during the Negotiation Period, Optionor and Optionee mutually agree upon a change in the ROFO Purchase Price and/or such other terms in the First Officer Notice, then prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period, Optionor and Optionee shall execute the Purchase Agreement and deliver it to the Escrow Holder reflecting the agreed-upon changes, the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed the date on which the Purchase Agreement is delivered to the Escrow Holder as fully executed by both parties, and Optionee shall concurrently deliver to the Escrow Holder the Deposit required under the Purchase Agreement. If Optionee delivers (a) Optionees Exercise Notice to Optionor, and (b) the Purchase Agreement and the Deposit to the Escrow Holder, prior to the expiration of Optionees Notice Period, without any request for further negotiation, the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed the date on which the fully executed Purchase Agreement is delivered to the Escrow Holder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Optionee may at any time prior to the expiration of the Negotiation Period exercise the Right of First Offer by delivering the Purchase Agreement (with Optionors ROFO Purchase Price) and the Deposit to Escrow Holder.

Further, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated after the Contingency Date, solely as a result of a default by Optionor, or pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement as a result of damage or destruction or condemnation, in addition to any remedies of Optionee under the Purchase Agreement, Optionees Right of First Offer hereunder shall be deemed to remain in full force and effect.
1.2.2 Non-Acceptance of Offer by Optionee. If Optionee does not timely accept the terms of the First Offer Notice, or if Optionor and Optionee do not mutually agree upon the ROFO Purchase Price and/or such other terms in the First Offer Notice by the expiration of the Negotiation Period, and/or the Purchase Agreement terminates, in accordance with the terms thereof, then Optionor shall be free to sell the Offered Property, in the same configuration as offered to Optionee, to any Unaffiliated Third Party thereafter on any terms elected by Optionor in its sole discretion, provided that Optionor (i) enters into a fully executed purchase and sale agreement for the Offered Property with an Unaffiliated Third Party within nine (9) months following the expiration of Optionees Notice Period (or, if Optionee requests the right to negotiate in Optionees Exercise Notice, the expiration of the Negotiation Period), and (ii) consummates the sale of the Offered Property, in the same configuration as offered to Optionee, with such Unaffiliated Third Party as evidenced by recordation of a grant deed conveying the Offered Property to such Unaffiliated Third Party (a Closing or Close) within twelve (12) months following the expiration of Optionees Notice Period (or, if Optionee

Upon Optionors and Optionees execution and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, and Optionees delivery of the Deposit no further act on the part of either party shall be necessary to form a binding contract for the purchase and sale of the Option Property and the transaction shall proceed and close in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement.
2.2.1.5 If Optionors Price Proposal states that Optionor disagrees with Optionees Price Proposal, whether or not Optionor states that there is a GAAP Loss, Optionee shall, within ten (10) business days after receipt of Optionors Price Proposal, deliver written notice to Optionor (Optionees Response Notice) stating either (i) that Optionee irrevocably exercises the applicable Purchase Option and Optionee agrees to purchase the Option Property at the Option Purchase Price set forth in Optionors Price Proposal, in which event (A) Optionee and Optionor shall, within five (5) business days after Optionors receipt of Optionees Response Notice, modify and execute the Purchase Agreement to reflect the agreed upon Option Purchase Price and deliver the new Purchase Agreement to the Escrow Holder, (B) Optionee shall, concurrent with delivery of the Purchase Agreement, deliver the Deposit to the Escrow Holder, and (C) the transaction shall proceed and close in accordance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement, as modified; or (ii) that Optionee irrevocably exercises the applicable Purchase Option, subject only to a determination of the applicable Option Purchase Price in accordance with the arbitration procedure set forth in Section 2.2.2 below, in which event Optionor and Optionee shall, within five (5) business days after Optionors receipt of Optionees Response Notice, execute the Purchase Agreement, subject to final determination of, and modification of the Purchase Agreement to reflect the Option Purchase Price as determined pursuant to Section 2.2.2 below, and deliver it to the Escrow Holder and concurrent with the

2.2.2 Determination of Fair Market Value for the Project. In the event Optionee elects in Optionees Response Notice to exercise the applicable Purchase Option, subject to arbitration of the Option Purchase Price in accordance with this Section 2.2.2, the following terms shall apply:
2.2.2.1 Optionor and Optionee shall each appoint one unrelated neutral arbitrator who shall be certified as an MAI appraiser or as an ASA appraiser and shall have had at least ten (10) years experience within the previous fifteen (15) years as a real estate appraiser of office buildings in the County of Los Angeles area, with working knowledge of current market conditions and practices.

The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue area of whether the Option Purchase Price in Optionors Price Proposal or in Optionees Price Proposal, is the closest to the actual Fair Market Value of the Option Property determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2.3, below. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within fifteen (15) days after Optionors receipt of Optionees Response Notice.
2.2.2.2 The two arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall have the same qualification as set forth in Section 2.2.2.1 above.
2.2.2.3 The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, (a) reach a decision as to the Fair Market Value of the Project and whether the proposed Option Purchase Price in Optionors Price Proposal or in Optionees Price Proposal is the closest to the Fair Market Value of the Project as determined by the arbitrators, and (b) simultaneously publish a ruling (the Ruling) indicating whether the proposed Option Purchase Price in Optionors Price Proposal or in Optionees Price Proposal is the closest to the Fair Market Value of the Project as determined by the arbitrators.

2.2.2.4 The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Optionor and Optionee.
2.2.2.5 If either Optionor or Optionee fails to appoint an arbitrator within fifteen (15) days after the date Optionor receives Optionees Response Notice, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Optionor and Optionee thereof, and such arbitrators decision shall be binding upon Optionor and Optionee.
2.2.2.6 If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the parties shall submit a request to the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers, or successor organization, to provide a list of five (5) qualified appraisers. Beginning with the appraiser appointed by Optionor, or Optionor, if no appraiser has been appointed, each appraiser or each party, as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days, strike the name of one (1) of the five (5) appraisers on such list, and the appraiser remaining after each appraiser or party, as applicable, has stricken two (2) names shall be the third appraiser.
2.2.2.7 The cost of the third appraiser shall be paid by Optionor and Optionee equally and they shall each pay their appointed appraiser.
2.2.2.8 If, for any reason, the arbitrators have not issued the Ruling by the applicable Option Purchase Date, the purchase transaction shall proceed based on an Option Purchase Price equal to the average of Optionors and Optionees proposed Option Purchase Prices (the Average Option Purchase Price) and Optionee shall deliver such amount at closing, provided, the difference between the Average Option Purchase Price and Optionors proposed Option Purchase Price shall be held in Escrow by the Escrow Holder until a final determination of the Option Purchase Price is determined by the arbitrators. If the Ruling results in Optionees Proposed Purchase Price being the Option Purchase Price, the amount held in escrow, including any interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Optionee, and Optionor shall, within ten (10) business days following receipt of the Ruling, reimburse Optionee for the difference between the Average Option Price and Optionees Option Purchase Price. If, on the other hand, the Ruling results in Optionors Proposed Purchase Price being the Option Purchase Price, the amount held in escrow, including any interest earned thereon, shall be disbursed to Optionor.
2.3 Fair Market Value. The Fair Market Value of the Option Property shall be the amount that an Unaffiliated Third Party bona-fide buyer would pay to purchase, and a bona-fide seller would accept to sell, the Option Property based on the following assumptions: (i) the determination of the Fair Market Value of the Option Property shall be made as of the applicable Option Purchase Date; (ii) the sales transaction is between arms length unrelated parties, independently negotiating and represented; (iii) that if the Option Property is only Phase I, all leasable space in the Option Property is 100% leased, and if the Option Property is Phase I and Phase II, Phase I will be deemed to be 100% leased and the actual vacancy of Building 3 will be considered; (iv) that no space in the Option Property leased by Optionee is subleased; (v) that there shall be deductions for outstanding tenant improvement allowances or
-9- |
ELECTRONIC ARTS [ROFO/Option Agreement] |
leasing commissions, and Optionor shall pay such costs under the Purchase Agreement; (vi) that there is a 50-50 probability (and corresponding value) that all existing leases in the Option Property, including the Lease, shall be renewed for a term of five (5) years at the end of the then term of such leases, notwithstanding their actual terms; (vii) that Optionee is a credit tenant with a rating under Moodys Rating Guidelines of Ba1; (viii) that credit should be given for any tenant lease that is executed and delivered before the Option Purchase Date; (ix) the fact that Optionee is an owner occupier will specifically not be taken into account, and (x) the physical condition and location of the Option Property and the actual terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement shall all be taken into account.
2.4 Term of Options. The terms of the First Purchase Option and Second Purchase Option shall commence upon the full, unconditional execution and delivery of the Lease and shall terminate upon any of the following.
2.4.1 The termination of the Lease for any reason.
2.4.2 The sale of the Option Property to Unaffiliated Third Party(s), subject to the terms hereof.
2.4.3 With respect to the First Purchase Option, Optionees failure to or election not to exercise such First Purchase Option, in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2.1 above.
2.4.4 With respect to the Second Purchase Option, Optionees failure to (or election not to) exercise such Second Purchase Option in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2.1 above.
2.5 Quitclaim by Optionee. Upon the termination of a Purchase Option pursuant to Section 2.4 above, Optionee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Optionor, within five (5) business days following request therefor from Optionor, a standard and customary quitclaim deed relinquishing all rights of Optionee to purchase the Option Property under the applicable terminated Purchase Option.
3. | Limitation on Rights. |
3.1 Rights Personal. The Right of First Offer, First Purchase Option and Second Purchase Option granted herein are personal to Optionee and any Optionee Affiliate (as defined below) and may be exercised only by Optionee or Optionees Affiliate and may not be exercised by any other assignee or transferee of any of Optionees interest herein or in the Lease. For purposes herein, an Optionee Affiliate shall mean any of the following: (a) an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control with Optionee (an Optionee Affiliated Entity) or an Optionee Affiliated Entity ; (b) an entity which merges with or acquires or is acquired by Optionee or a parent or an Optionee Affiliated Entity, or a subsidiary of Optionees parent or an Optionee Affiliated Entity, (c) a transferee of all or substantially all of the assets of Optionee or an Optionee Affiliated Entity or an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control with Optionee, or an Optionee Affiliated Entity, or (d) a transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, in connection with the merger, consolidation or other reorganization of Optionee or an Optionee Affiliated Entity or of an entity which is controlled by, controls or is under common control with Optionee an Optionee Affiliated Entity, along with
-10- |
ELECTRONIC ARTS [ROFO/Option Agreement] |
any other entity which will qualify as an affiliate under California General Corporations Code Sections 150 and 5031.
3.2 No Double Escrow. In the event Optionee exercises any right to acquire the Project or any permitted portion thereof, as provided under this Option Agreement, Optionee shall only take title to the Project, or the applicable permitted portion thereof, in Optionees or an Optionee Affiliates name and shall not concurrently with the closing of the applicable purchase transaction, or within one (1) year following the Closing, directly or indirectly transfer all or a portion of the ownership interest in the Project or the applicable permitted portion thereof, directly or indirectly to any party other than an Optionee Affiliate, and Optionee shall not acquire all or any permitted portion of the Project pursuant to a First Offer Right or Purchase Option, and, at the time of acquisition, have the intent to transfer the Project, either directly or indirectly, to any party other than an Optionee Affiliate. Optionor shall be entitled to seek damages resulting from a breach of the foregoing covenant. Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2 shall not apply to a (i) transfer by Optionee to an Optionee Affiliate, or vice versa, or (ii) to a transfer with respect to a synthetic lease or other similar financing transaction where the transfer of real estate is made solely in trust for financial reporting purposes and control of the ownership of the Project is not directly or indirectly transferred, or (iii) any loan, lien or mortgage placed on the Project.
3.3 No GAAP Loss on Purchase Options.
3.3.1 GAAP Loss. Notwithstanding anything else contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Optionor be required to sell the Option Property to Optionee pursuant to a Purchase Option if such transaction will result in a GAAP Loss (as defined below) to Optionor. In the event that the Option Purchase Price would cause Optionor to have a GAAP Loss, Optionor shall have the right, in Optionors sole discretion, to terminate the applicable Purchase Option. A GAAP Loss shall mean that the net proceeds (after payment of all closing costs and other expenses) that would be received by Optionor from a sale of the Option Property to Optionee for the Option Purchase Price are less than the historical cost basis of Optionor in the Option Property, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, provided that historical cost will include depreciation/amortization taken up to the date of the sale (such historical cost basis to be known as the GAAP Basis). In the event the Option Property is Phase I only, the determination of GAAP Loss will take into consideration an equitable allocation of acquisition and operational costs and expenses between Phase I and Phase II (the Phase I/Phase II Allocation). Optionor agrees that not later than December 31, 2004, Optionor shall deliver to Optionee, Optionors preliminary GAAP Basis analysis, as of a date no earlier than July 31, 2003, together with reasonable supporting evidence with respect thereto (the Preliminary GAAP Notice). Optionee shall then have a period of one hundred eighty (180) days following receipt of the Preliminary GAAP Notice, upon not less than fifteen (15) business days prior written notice, to commence an audit of Optionors books and records for the Project conducted by an independent certified accountant licensed in the State California, selected by Optionee, and that shall meet the same qualification required of the arbitrators in Section 3.3.2 below, for the purpose of verifying the calculation of the GAAP Basis set forth in Optionors Preliminary GAAP Notice. Optionor shall make available to the auditor, in a location in Los Angeles County, California, within fifteen (15) business days following selection of the auditor, all books and records of Optionor for the Project which are reasonably necessary for purposes of performing such audit, as reasonably determined by the auditor. The preceding audit shall be a one-time right, and Optionor shall not be required to
-11- |
ELECTRONIC ARTS [ROFO/Option Agreement] |
provide any further GAAP Basis notice calculation to Optionee thereafter, unless and until Optionee delivers Optionees Price Proposal as hereinafter set forth. The cost of Optionees audit with respect to Optionors Preliminary GAAP Notice shall be borne solely by Optionee. Further, if at the time Optionee delivers Optionees Price Proposal, or at the time Optionor delivers Optionors Price Proposal, Optionor believes that a GAAP Loss will result based on one of the price proposals, Optionor shall notify Optionee in Optionors Price Proposal that Optionees or Optionors Price Proposal will result in a GAAP Loss, and provide reasonable supporting evidence with respect thereto (the Final GAAP Loss Calculation), in which event unless Optionee elects within ten (10) business days following receipt of Optionors Price Proposal to accept the greater of the Fair Market Value of the Option Property as determined under Section 2, above, or the GAAP Loss Number (defined below), and exercise the applicable Purchase Option pursuant to Section 2.2.1.5(i) above, the applicable Purchase Option shall be of no further force and effect, provided Optionee shall have the right to notify Optionor in writing (Optionees GAAP Dispute Notice), within ten (10) business days following receipt of Optionors Price Proposal claiming a GAAP Loss, that Optionee disputes Optionors determination and/or supporting evidence, including any Phase I/Phase II Allocation and provide to Optionor, Optionees determination of the Final GAAP Loss Calculation. In such event, Optionor and Optionee shall meet and confer in good faith within and during a period not to exceed ten (10) business days following receipt by Optionor of Optionees GAAP Dispute Notice in an attempt to resolve any such dispute (the Dispute Resolution Period).
3.3.2 Resolution of Dispute. If such dispute cannot be resolved within the Dispute Resolution Period, the matter shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with the following terms.
3.3.2.1 Optionor and Optionee shall each appoint one arbitrator who shall be a certified public accountant from a nationally recognized accounting firm and who shall have recognized experience of not less than ten (10) years in financial analysis and real estate accounting principals with respect to real estate construction and development for major first class office projects of the nature of the Project. The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issues of (i) whether or not a GAAP Loss exists, taking into consideration, if applicable, any Phase I/Phase II Allocation and all of other factors of this Section 3.3, and (ii) if a GAAP Loss exists, the amount necessary to be paid as the purchase price for the Option Property to avoid a GAAP Loss (the GAAP Loss Number). Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period.
3.3.3 The two arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall have the same qualification as set forth in Section 3.3.1 above.
3.3.4 Within five (5) business days following the appointment of the last arbitrator, Optionor and Optionee shall each submit to the arbitrators their respective determinations as to whether a GAAP Loss exists, and if applicable, their respective estimations of the GAAP Loss Number.
3.3.5 The three arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days of the appointment of the third arbitrator, reach a decision and publish their ruling as to whether or not a GAAP Loss exists, and if so, whether Optionors estimated GAAP Loss Number or Optionees
ELECTRONIC ARTS | ||
-12- | [ROFO/Option Agreement] |
GAAP Loss Number is closest to the actual GAAP Loss Number as determined by the Arbitrators. The closest GAAP Loss Number to the actual GAAP Loss Number as determined by the Arbitrators shall then be the GAAP Loss Number for all purposes herein.
3.3.6 The decision of the majority of the three arbitrators shall be binding upon Optionor and Optionee.
3.3.7 If either Optionor or Optionee fails to appoint an arbitrator within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Dispute Resolution Period, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Optionor and Optionee thereof, and such arbitrators decision shall be binding upon Optionor and Optionee.
3.3.8 If the two arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator, or both parties fail to appoint an arbitrator, then the appointment of the third arbitrator or any arbitrator shall be dismissed and the parties shall submit a request to the American Arbitration Association to provide a list of five (5) qualified arbitrators. Beginning with the arbitrator appointed by Playa, or Playa, if no arbitrator has been appointed, each arbitrator or each party, as applicable, shall, within three (3) business days, strike the name of one (1) of the five (5) arbitrators on such list, and the arbitrator remaining after each arbitrator or party, as applicable, has stricken two (2) names shall be the third arbitrator.]
3.3.9 The cost of the third arbitrator shall be paid by Optionor to Optionee equally.
After the arbitrators have determined if a GAAP Loss exists, the parties shall proceed in accordance with the provisions of Sections 2.2.1.3 through 2.2.1.5 and Section 2.2.2 above to determine the Fair Market Value of the Option Property. Thereafter, if Optionee has elected to accept the greater of (i) Fair Market Value of the Option Property as determined under Section 2, above or (ii) the GAAP Loss Number as determined by Section 3.3, above, pursuant to Section 3.3.1 above, Optionee shall pay the greater of (i) Fair Market Value of the Option Property as determined under Section 2, above or (ii) the GAAP Loss Number as determined by Section 3.3 above. If the arbitrators decision has not been delivered prior to the scheduled Closing Date for the applicable Purchase Option, the Closing, if it is to occur, based on the arbitrators decision shall be delayed until the date which is ten (10) days following delivery of the arbitrators decision.
4. Notices/Delivery. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be personally delivered (including by means of professional messenger service) by nationally recognized overnight courier service, messenger service or registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested. All written communications in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed given (i) three (3) days after the date it is posted if sent by mail, or (ii) the date the overnight courier or personal delivery is made, or refused by the addressee, at the address set forth below, if delivered by 5:00 P.M., Los Angeles Time on a business day, the next business day if delivered after 5:00 P.M. of a business day or non-business day.

15. Subordination/Recognition Agreement. Subject to Optionees receipt of an appropriate non-disturbance agreement (which non-disturbance shall not recognize this Option Agreement as surviving a Foreclosure Event) as set forth below, this Option Agreement shall be subject and subordinate to the lien of any mortgages or trust deeds, now or hereafter in force against the Project, in favor of any Unaffiliated Third Party, if any, and/or renewals, extensions, modifications, consolidations and replacements thereof, and to all advances made or hereafter to be made upon the security of such mortgages or trust deeds, provided that the loan evidenced by
ELECTRONIC ARTS | ||
-17- | [ROFO/Option Agreement] |
the mortgage or trust deed is only made with respect to and is only secured by a trust deed on the Project. Optionee, shall within fifteen (15) business days following receipt of the request of Optionor, execute a commercially reasonable subordination agreement relating to the rights of Optionor under this Option Agreement, in favor of any mortgage holders or lienholders of Optionor who are Unaffiliated Third Parties (Permitted Mortgage/Lien Holders) who later come into existence at any time prior to the expiration of earlier termination of this Option Agreement, provided that the loan evidenced by the mortgage or trust deed is only made with respect to and is only secured by a trust deed on the Project, and provided, further, that such subordination agreement is in accordance with the provisions of this Section 15. Optionor acknowledges and agrees that Optionees receipt of a commercially reasonable non-disturbance agreement (Non-Disturbance Agreement) in favor of Optionee from any Permitted Mortgage/Lien Holder who later comes into existence at any time prior to the expiration of this Option Agreement shall be in consideration of, and a condition precedent to, Optionees agreement to be bound by the provisions of this Section 15 and any other provisions hereunder for the benefit of a Foreclosure Owner. Optionor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the agreement of any Permitted Mortgage/Lien Holders to provide notice to Optionee of any monetary default by Optionor and to permit Optionee to make payments directly to any such Permitted Mortgage/Lien Holder, in the event of Optionors failure to make required payments, and provided Optionee shall first notify Optionor prior to making any such payment and provide Optionor with not less than the greater of (i) ten (10) business days following Optionors receipt of Optionees notice, and (ii) the cure period permitted under the applicable mortgage or lien to cure such default.
16. Estoppel. Within ten (10) business days following a request in writing by Optionor, Optionee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Optionor an estoppel certificate indicating therein to what extent Optionees Right of First Offer or either Purchase Option may exist at that time or that any or all of such rights have been waived or terminated, as applicable, and shall also contain any other information reasonably requested by Optionor or any mortgagee or transferee of Optionors interest in the Project. Any such certificate may be relied upon by any prospective mortgagee or transferee of all or any portion of the Project. Optionee shall execute and deliver whatever other commercially reasonable instruments may be reasonably required for such purposes. Failure of Optionee to execute, acknowledge and deliver such estoppel certificate or other instruments within five (5) business days after Optionors second request (which shall in no event be deemed delivered prior to the expiration of the initial 10 business day period) shall constitute an acknowledgment by Optionee that statements included in the estoppel certificate are true and correct, without exception.
17. Reciprocal Parking Agreement/Lot Line Adjustment. In the event that either (i) Optionee exercises the Right of First Offer or either the First Purchase Option or Second Purchase Option with respect to Phase I of the Project only, in accordance with the terms of this Option Agreement, or (ii) Optionor sells Phase II of the Project, as and when permitted under this Option Agreement, separately from Phase I, to any party other than Optionee, Optionor shall, at its election, either (A) obtain and record a lot line adjustment such that the legal parcel comprising Phase I of the Project, as it currently exists of the date of this Option Agreement, (i.e., exclusive of the Field) will be adjusted to cause the portion of the Real Property on which the Field is located to be included (as a fee interest or air rights parcel) as part of the Real Property comprising Phase I of the Project (the Lot Line Adjustment), or (B) alternatively, in the event of the purchase of Phase I by Optionee, enter into with Optionee, or in the event of a
ELECTRONIC ARTS | ||
-18- | [ROFO/Option Agreement] |
sale of Phase II separately to a third party, cause to be recorded, an exclusive easement, for the benefit of the owner of Phase I, for the use of the Field (the Field Easement). The Field Easement shall be in a commercially reasonable form acceptable to both Optionor and Optionee and shall require, at a minimum, that Optionee shall have exclusive use of the Field, and shall maintain, and assume all costs, including an equitable portion of real estate taxes and assessments, for maintenance of, the Field, and that Optionee shall indemnify Optionor or any other owner of Phase II, from all liability resulting from Optionees exercise of the rights under the easement and/or its use of the Field. Further, if Building 3 and its related improvements on Phase II have not been completed, the Field Easement shall recognize the fact that Optionee or any other owner of Phase I will not have the use of the Field during the construction of Building 3 and its related improvements, for the period of time, and subject to the terms and conditions with respect thereto, as set forth in the Lease. In addition, in the event of the purchase of Phase I by Optionee, Optionee and Optionor shall enter into, or in the event of a sale of Phase II separately to a third party, Optionor shall cause to be recorded, a reciprocal parking easement for parking in the parking facilities located beneath the Field, and ingress and egress with respect thereto (the Parking Easement), which easement shall provide for the number of parking spaces to be allocated to the owner of Phase I and the number of parking spaces to be allocated to the owner of Phase II as required under the Lease and shall be in a commercially reasonable form acceptable to both Optionor and Optionee. Optionor and Optionee agree that, (i) in the event of a purchase of Phase I by Optionee, pursuant to a Purchase Option, during the period between delivery of Optionees Interest Notice and delivery of Optionees Price Proposal, and (ii) in the event of a purchase of Phase I by Optionee pursuant to a Right of First Offer, prior to the Contingency Date set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Optionor and Optionee shall meet in good faith and mutually agree upon the terms and conditions of the Lot Line Adjustment or Field Easement, as elected by Optionor, and the Parking Easement. Further, upon a sale of Phase II separately, Optionor and Optionee and any other necessary third party(ies) shall meet and in good faith negotiate the terms of the required Lot Line Adjustment or Field Easement and Parking Easement in the time required pursuant to the applicable transaction. In such event, Optionee shall not have the right to object to or prevent the recordation of any of the Lot Line Adjustment, Field Easement or Parking Easement because of matters set forth in any of the Lot Line Adjustment, Field Easement or Parking Easement, so long as Optionees rights with respect to the Field and reciprocal parking as hereinabove specified are not materially altered.
18. Counterparts. This Option Agreement may be executed in several original counterparts, each of which and all together will constitute this Option Agreement in its entirety.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Option Agreement as of the date first above written.
