Center, a landmark, 581,000-square-foot office complex in San
Francisco’s South Financial District, for $38.7 million (before closing

In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company closed a seven-year,
secured, non-recourse loan in the amount of $110.0 million from JPMorgan

environmental indemnity. In addition, the loan agreement includes events
of default the Company believes are usual for loans and transactions of
this type.

desirable properties in highly sought-after Northern California
