7.1.3    For Consulting Services, Rancon shall pay Glenborough the following fees for each respective service.

(a)    Leasing Services

(1)    New Leases: the fee shall be an amount equal to a portion of the total compensation package paid to Glenborough’s Leasing Director based upon an agreed allocation of time committed to the Property by the Leasing Director. This fee is payable monthly, in arrears.

(2)    Lease Renewals and Expansions: the fee shall be an amount equal to 2.5% of the base rent due during the renewal period and/or attributable to the expansion area during the term of the lease. The fee is payable upon full execution of the applicable lease or lease modification.

(b)    Sale & Finance Services:

(1)    Sales and Other Transactions: Through December 31, 2005, upon the sale, exchange or purchase by Rancon of any property or interest in any property, Rancon shall pay Glenborough a Sales Fee of 2% on improved property and 4% on unimproved property. A parcel of real property shall be deemed unimproved for purposes of this section if it is not improved by a completed permanent building. A Sales Fee shall be calculated on the gross sales price (if Rancon is the seller) or purchase price (if Rancon is the buyer); provided, however, in no event shall the fee under this provision when added to commissions paid by Rancon to any and all persons employed in connection with the sale, exchange or purchase of any property (whether by Rancon, Glenborough or third parties) in connection with the sale, exchange or purchase of any property be more than six percent (6%), for buildings and improved real property, or ten percent (10%) for unimproved real property, of the sales price or purchase price, as the case may be, and provided further that no Sales Fee shall be payable on such transactions with a person related to or affiliated with Glenborough. The sale price or the purchase price, as the case may be, shall be the total of all consideration received or paid, including, but not limited to, all cash, the principal amount of any note or promise to pay, and the fair market value of any other property paid or transferred in connection with the sale or purchase. For purposes of this section, an exchange shall be deemed one transaction. In addition, the entry into a long-term ground lease of thirty-five (35) years or more for all or any portion of a property by Rancon, as lessor or lessee, shall be deemed a sale or purchase and the present value of the lease payments over the term of the lease, excluding any increases in payments which cannot be calculated at the time of entry into the lease and excluding any option periods, discounted at the interest rate on five year treasury notes, or other comparable indices if five year treasury notes are no longer customarily quoted (“Discount Index”), prevailing on the date of entry into the lease, shall be deemed the purchase price on which the Sales Fee shall be computed. The exercise by Rancon of any option to purchase and the consummation of such purchase, whether or not related to any lease, shall be deemed a separate transaction for purposes of the application and computation of the Sales Fee under this section. No Sales Fee shall be due on transactions that commence after December 31, 2005 unless otherwise agreed in writing by Rancon and Glenborough.

(2)    Finance Services: if Rancon requests Finance Services from Glenborough, then, upon the financing or refinancing of a Property, or an interest therein, Rancon shall pay Glenborough a Finance Fee equal to 1% of the gross loan amount. The Finance Fee shall be payable to Glenborough, upon written approval of Rancon, as soon as practicable after the loan refinancing proceeds have been made available to Rancon.

(c)    Development Fee. Rancon shall pay Glenborough a Development Fee equal to 5% of the hard costs of the development project, excluding the cost of the land; however, in no event shall the Development Fee and the general contractor’s fee exceed 11.5%, in the aggregate, of the hard costs of the development project.

If any field property management or maintenance personnel of Glenborough are independent contractors of Glenborough, then Rancon shall similarly reimburse Glenborough for those independent contractors engaged with the respect to the Property who provide such services. The employees’ salaries and costs of independent contractors of Glenborough which constitute reimbursable operating expenses shall be allocated between Rancon and all other entities benefiting from the services of such employees on a pro rata, equitable basis.

7.2    Joint Ventures. References herein to the Property, or interest therein, acquired, owned or disposed of by Rancon shall include Rancon’s interest from time to time in any property held by any joint venture, partnership or other entity or form of ownership in which Rancon has an interest (“Rancon’s Share in Property”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all of the fees described in this Section 7 and any other fee which may become payable to Glenborough under this Agreement, shall apply to and be based upon not only any wholly owned Property, but also Rancon’s share in other property to the extent of and in proportion to Rancon’s Share in Property.
