Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 2, 2010, Retail Opportunity Investments Corp. (the "Company") announced the completion of the acquisition of the Phillips Ranch Shopping Center (the "Phillips Ranch Property"), a neighborhood center located in Pomona, California, for an aggregate purchase price of $7.39 million, a portion of the proceeds of which was used to extinguish an existing $18.5 million deed of trust on the Phillips Ranch Property.  The Phillips Ranch Shopping Center was acquired by ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC, pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement, dated February 2, 2010 (the "Purchase Agreement"), by and among CMP Phillips Associates, LLC and MCC Phillips, LLC (the "Seller"), as seller, and ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC, as purchaser.  The Purchase Agreement contains terms, conditions, covenants, and seller's representations and warranties that are customary and typical for a transaction of this nature.  The Phillips Ranch Property is a 125,554 square foot neighborhood center, which is currently 72% leased, which the Company plans to reposition.  An estimated population of 355,000 with a median household income of $66,000 resides within a five-mile radius of the Phillips Ranch Property.

Pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC (the "LLC Agreement") dated February 2, 2010, the Company's operating partnership holds a 99.97% and MCC Realty III, LLC ("MCC Realty"), an affiliate of the Seller, a .03% Class A membership interest  in ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC.  The Class A membership interest entitles the holders thereof to distributions of net available cash equal to a 12% preferred return on their capital contributions and thereafter pro rata distributions based on their respective Class A membership interests. MCC Realty also holds 100% of the Class B membership interest of ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC which entitles MCC Realty to a deferred profits interest, during certain specified periods, equal to any amount by which (1) the annualized net operating income of ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC divided by 11.8% exceeds (2) the aggregate costs of the acquisition and certain other expenditures and credits related to ROIC Phillips Ranch together with the costs of the Company and its affiliates in relation to the acquisition of ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC. The deferred profits interest is distributed first to the Seller by a distribution of a portion of a promissory note in the original principal amount of $1.2 million in favor of the Seller which was transferred to a subsidiary of ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC concurrently with the acquisition of the Phillips Ranch Property.

Additionally, the Company's operating partnership serves as the managing member of, and has sole rights to manage, ROIC Phillips Ranch, LLC.

The material terms of the Purchase Agreement are qualified in their entirety by the agreement attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

14.1.2 all base rent, percentage rent and additional rent and similar charges to the extent collected by the Seller, except that percentage rents shall be separately apportioned for each Tenant who is obligated to pay percentage rent on the basis of the fiscal year set forth in the Tenant’s Lease.  To the extent that Seller or Purchaser receives any base
 
 
23

 
rent, percentage rent and/or other additional rent or other charges after the Closing, the same shall be immediately delivered to Purchaser to be applied in accordance with the terms of Section 14.2.
 
14.1.3 all other income and all operating expenses of the Property for the Assumed Contracts and public utility charges and any charges or payments under the REA shall be prorated at the Closing effective as of the Closing Date, and appropriate cash adjustments shall be made by Purchaser and Seller.  Seller and Purchaser shall prorate public utility charges as of midnight of the day preceding the Closing based on applicable utility bills.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, there shall be no apportionment of any fees or charges with respect to Seller’s termination of the Existing Management Agreement.
 
14.1.4 At Closing, any prepaid rents and security deposits under the Leases (together with any interest accrued thereon) shall be transferred to Purchaser by way of a credit in favor of Purchaser.  At Closing, the GH Reimbursement shall be a credit in favor of Seller.
 
14.1.5 At Closing, Seller shall pay (or, if Seller has not already paid, shall give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price) the amount of all allowances, concessions, inducements and/or landlord improvement work provided for in any of the Leases that were not fully paid or performed, except for the allowances identified in clauses “(x),” “(y)” and “(z)” of Section 8.1.9(d) and the Imperial Spa Work which allowances and work shall be Purchaser’s responsibility following the Closing.
 
14.1.6 At Closing, in the event any amounts are owing for leasing or brokerage commissions with respect to any of the Leases, whether such costs are payable before or after the Closing Date, Seller shall grant Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the aggregate amount of any such unpaid commissions and Purchaser shall assume the obligation to pay to the applicable broker the amount actually received by Purchaser as credit in respect of the commission owing to such broker, except for the commissions due to MCC Realty Management, Inc. pursuant to the Non-Exclusive Leasing Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit “O” with respect to the Great Harvest Market and the Imperial Spa Leases.
 
14.1.7 If, at Closing, the Property or any part thereof shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, which are or may become payable in annual installments, of which the first installment is then a charge or lien, then for the purposes of this Agreement, all the unpaid installments of any such assessment due and payable in calendar years prior to the year in which the Closing occurs, if any, shall be paid by the Seller and all installments becoming due and payable after the Closing, if any, shall be assumed and paid by the Purchaser, except, however, that any installments which are due and payable in the calendar year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted pro rata.
 
14.2 Post-Closing Rent Application.  To the extent that Seller or Purchaser receives any base rent, percentage rent and/or other additional rent or other charges after the Closing, the same shall be immediately delivered to Purchaser to be applied in accordance with

 
24

 
the terms of this Section 14.2.  Any such base rent, additional rent or other charges received from a Tenant after the Closing shall be applied in the following order of priority:
 
1. First, to Purchaser in respect of any rents then owing for any calendar month(s) or partial month following the Closing until the Tenant under the applicable Lease is current in the payment of all such rent to the full amount provided for in its Lease (i.e., without taking into account any temporary reduction or abatement of such full rent that may be permitted pursuant to any oral or written agreement between Seller and such applicable Tenant); and
 
2. Second, after all amounts owing to Purchaser pursuant to subdivision 1 above of this Section 14.2 have been received by Purchaser, to Seller in respect of any rents then owing for any calendar month(s) or partial month preceding the Closing until the Tenant has paid all of such rent for the period prior to the Closing to the full amount provided for in its Lease (i.e., without taking into account any temporary reduction or abatement of such full rent that may be permitted pursuant to any oral or written agreement between Seller and such applicable Tenant).
 
After the Closing, Purchaser shall bill Tenants for all amounts due under their Leases accruing prior to the Closing.  Purchaser shall prepare and send to Tenants all billing statements and data required by the Leases, to the extent available.  Purchaser shall not be obligated to expend any funds or commence legal proceedings to collect any unpaid base rents, additional rents or percentage rents or other Tenant charges owing with respect to the period prior to the Closing.  After the Closing, in the event Purchaser shall enter into any agreement with any Tenant(s) waiving or reducing any rent arrearages that may have accrued, in whole or in part, during the period prior to Closing, Purchaser shall use best efforts to obtain from such Tenant(s) an estoppel certificate or release, partly in favor of Seller, whereby such Tenant(s) shall waive all claims against the landlord that may have arisen during the period that the particular waived or reduced rent arrearages shall have accrued.  After the Closing, Seller shall not have any right to initiate any legal proceeding against a Tenant to collect rent.
 
14.3 Final Adjustment.  On or before April 30, 2011, Seller and Purchaser shall make a final adjustment in accordance with the provisions of this Section 14.3 (the “Final Closing Adjustment”) of percentage rent and other items of additional rents for which final adjustments or prorations could not be determined at the Closing, if any, because of the lack of actual statements, bills or invoices for the current period, the year end adjustment of common area maintenance, taxes and like items, the unavailability of final sales figures or amounts for percentage rent or any other reason.  Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in the preparation of the Final Closing Adjustment.  Any net adjustment in favor of Purchaser or Seller is to be paid in cash by the other no later than forty-five (45) days after the Final Closing Adjustment.
 
14.4 Intentionally Omitted.
 
14.5 Seller’s Costs.  Seller will pay:

 
25

14.6 Oral Agreements with Tenants.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary (including, without limitation, Section 8.1 or Schedule “1.5” hereof), in the event, following May 1, 2010, any Tenant shall contest the fact that any oral arrangement as may be set forth on Schedule “1.5” hereof continues to apply to such Tenant (whether in an eviction proceeding prosecuted by Purchaser, as landlord, or otherwise), if there shall be a final judicial determination made in favor of such Tenant, then Seller and MCC Realty (on a joint and several basis), from and after May 1, 2010, shall be obligated to pay to Purchaser an amount equal to the difference between (a) the rent payable pursuant to the applicable Lease (as though there was no oral arrangement with such Tenant respecting a rent reduction) and (b) the amount of rent determined by such final judicial determination to be payable by such Tenant (such difference, the “Rent Deficiency”), except, that, the amount of any Rent Deficiency to be paid by Seller (and/or MCC Realty) may be reduced by the amount thereof previously and voluntarily paid by the applicable Tenant to Purchaser so long as such Tenant shall acknowledge in writing
 
 
26

 
that such payment is due pursuant to the applicable Lease notwithstanding any oral arrangement or judicial determination to the contrary.  The obligation to pay to Purchaser any Rent Deficiency, if applicable, shall accrue from and after May 1, 2010 (and shall be retroactively paid to Purchaser if such final judicial determination shall occur thereafter).  Each Rent Deficiency shall be paid to Purchaser when rent is due under the applicable Lease as though there was no oral arrangement with such Tenant until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the particular Lease for which there is a Rent Deficiency pursuant to its terms (or the earlier termination of such Lease, whether through a consensual arrangement between Purchaser and such Tenant or as a result of a final judicial determination that such Lease was terminated, provided such Tenant shall unconditionally vacate and surrender its premises to Purchaser; it being agreed that Seller and/or MCC Realty shall remain liable for all Rent Deficiencies accruing prior to such vacate and surrender) and (ii) June 30, 2013.  The obligation to pay the Rent Deficiency, if applicable, shall survive the Closing, and shall not be subject to any limitation that may be provided in Section 8.3 hereof.
 
Section 15.        Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing and Condemnation.
 
15.1 If prior to the Closing the Property is damaged or destroyed, but not materially damaged or destroyed, by fire or other casualty, the Purchaser shall be required to perform this Agreement and shall be entitled to the insurance proceeds received by Seller or payable pursuant to the policies of insurance maintained by Seller and a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible under such policies of insurance.  If the Property is materially damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement on written notice to the Seller given within ten (10) business days of the occurrence of such fire or casualty.  If Purchaser shall exercise such option to terminate, then, except for obligations that the Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other.  If Purchaser does not exercise such option to terminate, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its terms and Purchaser shall be entitled to the proceeds of insurance and a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of the deductible under any policies of insurance.  In the event of any damage by fire or other casualty, the determination as to whether such damage or destruction is material in cost shall be made by an engineer or contractor mutually agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser.  For purposes hereof, the Property shall be deemed “materially damaged or destroyed” if the cost of repair and restoration of such damage or destruction as estimated by the engineer or contractor selected by Seller and Purchaser is greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 ($250,000.00) Dollars or if such damage or destruction will entitle any Tenant to terminate its Lease or abate its rent in whole or in part.
 
15.2 In the event proceedings to condemn the Property or any portion thereof are commenced before the Closing, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in which event, except for obligations that the Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights against the other.  In the event the Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall assign to Purchaser, at the Closing, all of Seller’s rights, title and interest in and to any condemnation proceeds payable with respect to the Property or grant Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any condemnation award paid to Seller.

(c) In the event of a default by either party hereto which becomes the subject of litigation, the losing party agrees to pay the reasonable legal fees of the prevailing party.  The provision of this subparagraph (c) shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.

17.3 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same original, and the execution of separate counterparts by Purchaser and Seller shall bind Purchaser and Seller as if they had each executed the same counterpart.

17.7 Submission of this form of Agreement for examination shall not bind Seller in any manner nor be construed as an offer to sell and no contract or obligations of Seller shall arise until this instrument is executed and delivered by both Seller and Purchaser.
 
17.8 Each of the parties agrees that upon request from the other party following the Closing and without further consideration, such party shall do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts or instruments as shall be reasonably requested by a party in order to effect or carryout the transactions contemplated herein provided same do not impose any obligations or liabilities upon the party not contemplated in this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section 17.8 shall survive the Closing.

W I T N E S S E T H:
 
WHEREAS, Owner is the owner of the Phillips Ranch Shopping Center, 4-16 Village Loop Drive, Pomona, California (“Property”);
 
WHEREAS, Owner desires to employ Agent as a non-exclusive agent with respect to the leasing of the Property on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the sum of One and no/100 ($1.00) Dollar and other good and valuable consideration, it is mutually agreed between the parties as follows:
 
1. Appointment and Duties.
 
(a) The Owner hereby appoints Agent as a non-exclusive agent to lease the Property.  Agent acknowledges and agrees that Owner may enter into leasing or brokerage agreements with other brokers for the leasing of the Property (“Other Agents”) and no commission or other compensation shall be owing to Agent in connection with any leases procured by any other Agents.

(c) All advertising by Agent of the availability of the Property shall be approved in writing in advance by Owner and paid by Owner.  The design and location of all signs shall be subject to Owner’s approval and shall be paid by Owner.
 
2. Terms.
 
(a) Subject to the following sentence, the term (“Term”) of this Agreement shall be for a period of 1 (year) commencing on the date hereof.  Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause by giving thirty (30) days prior written notice of termination to the other party at any time, whereupon this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and of no further
 

 
O-1

 
force and effect as of the termination date (except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 2(b) hereof).
 
(b) Upon the expiration of this Agreement (“Expiration), Owner shall remain liable to pay Agent any Commissions (as hereinafter defined) previously earned by Agent, as and when such Commissions shall become due and payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Within ten (10) business days following the Expiration, Agent shall deliver to Owner a list of all potential tenants who have submitted signed letters of intent to lease space in the Property (“LOIs”) for which Agent (or Agent with an approved Co-Agent pursuant to Section 4 hereof) is the sole procuring broker, each of which LOI shall include the names of the potential tenants (or their principals), the proposed space to be leased, the proposed material lease terms including, without limitation, the term of the proposed lease, the price per rentable square foot to be paid by the proposed tenant, any rent concessions, allowances and/or free or reduced rent to be given the proposed tenant, an abbreviated description of any landlord’s work to be performed, and the name of any Co-Agent (as hereinafter defined) involved in the proposed transaction.  Upon Owner’s verification of the information contained in the LOIs, Owner shall, in the event a lease is signed with the tenant listed on a particular LOI within six (6) months following the Expiration, pay to Agent all Commissions payable on account of such lease as and when such Commissions are payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
 
The LOIs shall be conclusive upon the Agent as to those tenants for which a Commission may be due from Owner and Agent hereby waives any right to receive a Commission on account of a lease subsequently executed by Owner with a tenant not listed on any LOI, or to receive any Commission on account of any lease subsequently executed by Owner in the event Agent fails to deliver the LOIs to Owner within ten (10) business days of the Expiration.
 
3. Compensation.
 
(a) Owner agrees to pay Agent and Agent hereby agrees to accept as full and complete compensation with respect to any lease of space in the Property during the Term a commission calculated in accordance with the commission rates set forth in Exhibit “A” annexed hereto and made a part hereof and shall be payable as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.
 
(b) Any Commission due to Agent shall be payable upon the terms set forth in Exhibit “A” hereto.
 
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, no Commission shall be due or owing to Agent in the event that the commencement date does not occur due to a default of the tenant thereunder or a failure by such tenant to meet any conditions contained in the applicable lease.
 
4. Co-Agents.
 
Agent may engage other real estate brokers or salespersons (“Co-Agents”) in connection with the leasing of space in the Property.  No Co-Agent shall be used, employed or otherwise retained unless such Co-Agent is reasonably approved by Owner and such Co-Agent first executes a brokerage letter agreement reasonably satisfactory to Owner (the “Co-Agent
 
 
O-2

 
Letter Agreement”), whereby such Co-Agent shall agree that Agent shall be solely responsible for any and all payments to such Co-Agent.  Provided that Green Light Consulting Group Inc. shall deliver to Owner a Co-Agent Letter Agreement, Owner shall approve Green Light Consulting Group Inc. as a Co-Agent.  In all events, Agent shall be solely responsible for any and all payments to any Co-Agent, except, that, in the event Owner has failed to timely pay to Agent any commission sums due from Owner to Agent under this Agreement, Co-Agent may make a claim against Owner for an amount not exceeding such commission.
 
5. Execution of Leases.
 
All proposed leases to be executed in connection with the Property shall be prepared by Owner’s counsel and shall be executed by Owner.  Owner may reject any prospective tenant and refuse to execute any proposed lease and, in such event, no Commission shall be payable to Agent in connection with such proposed lease.
 
6. Assignment.
 
Agent shall not assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Owner, which consent may be granted or withheld in Owner’s sole discretion.  Any such assignment without Owner's prior written consent shall be void.
 
7. Indemnity.
 
Agent hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Owner harmless from and against any loss, damage, claim, suit, liability or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Owner relating to or arising out of (i) the acts or omissions of Agent or its agents or employees and/or (ii) any claim for a commission or other compensation by any Co-Agent or any other person or party with whom Agent has dealt in connection with the Property, provided, that, in any such case, Owner has timely paid to Agent any sums due Agent under this Agreement.  The foregoing shall not diminish the Agent’s indemnification of Owner hereunder as to any claim for compensation by a Co-Agent or any other person or party against Owner in an amount in excess of the applicable commission amount otherwise due Agent from Owner pursuant to this Agreement.
 
8. Notices.
 
Any written notices, approvals or consents (collectively, “Notices”) to be given by Owner or Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be sufficiently given if in writing and sent by; United States certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, facsimile transmission to the telephone number provided below (with a duplicate copy sent by reputable overnight courier service with next business day delivery specified) or reputable overnight courier service with next business day delivery specified, addressed to the party to whom the notice is directed at the addresses set forth below, or to such alternative address or facsimile telephone numbers as may from time to time be designated by notice given in the manner provided for in this Paragraph 8.

13

 
 
of taxable gain to be allocated to the Class B Member by reason of the foregoing allocation of Profits shall be an amount that gives to the Class B Member the entire benefit of the increase(s) to the tax basis of the Property resulting from the election under Section 754 of the Code, described in Section 9.3 hereof, to the extent attributable to prior distributions to the Class B Member, but any depreciation deductions attributable to such tax basis increases resulting from the Section 754 election shall not be allocated to the Class B Member); and
 
(iii) thereafter, to all of the Class A Members pro rata relative to their respective positive Capital Account balances;
 
provided, that, anything in this Section 4.2(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, any item of Profits that constitutes gain described in clause (iv) of the definition of “Profits” and “Losses” regarding certain Gross Asset Value adjustments shall be allocated among the Members so as to reflect the manner in which the unrealized income or gain inherent in the subject asset (that has not been reflected in the Capital Accounts previously) would be allocated among the Members if there were a taxable disposition of such asset for its fair market value on the date of the Gross Asset Value adjustment, except as otherwise provided in applicable Treasury Regulations.
 
(b) After giving effect to the special allocations set forth in Section 4.3 through Section 4.6, Losses shall be allocated to the Members as follows:
 
(i) first, an amount equal to any Profits allocated to the Class A Members pursuant to Section 4.2(a)(iii) to the Members in proportions necessary to offset the allocations of such Profits; and
 
(ii) thereafter, to the Class A Members pro rata relative to their respective Class A Percentages.
 
(c) No Class A Member shall be allocated a Loss that creates or increases a deficit in such Member’s Capital Account as it relates to such Member’s Class A Company Interest. In the event some but not all of the Class A Members would have deficit Capital Accounts as it relates to their Class A Company Interests as a consequence of an allocation of Losses pursuant to this Section 4.2(c), such excess Losses shall be reallocated to the other Class A Members who have positive Capital Account balances as it relates to their Class A Company Interests, pro rata in accordance with their Class A Percentages.  Anything in Section 4.2(a) to the contrary notwithstanding, if any Losses are reallocated pursuant to this Section 4.2(c), subsequent Profits shall first be allocated to reverse the effect of the reallocations made pursuant to this Section 4.2(c).
 
(d) The Profits Interests Amount shall be calculated as of December 31, 2010, December 31, 2011, December 31, 2012 and June 30, 2013 and, if an Exit Event occurs prior to July 1, 2013, the last day of the calendar quarter during which such Exit Event occurs.  The “Profits Interests Amount” as of the applicable dates shall equal the excess of (i) the relevant annualized NOI of the Company capitalized at a rate of (divided by) 11.8% over (ii) the Project Costs as of such date.  The relevant annualized NOI shall mean the NOI of the Company  (i) for the December 31, 2010 computation-the Company’s NOI for the fourth calendar quarter of 2010 multiplied by four , (ii) for the December 31, 2011 computation-the Company’s NOI for the fourth calendar quarter of 2011 multiplied by four, (iii) for the December 31, 2012 computation-the Company’s NOI for the fourth calendar quarter of 2012 multiplied by four, (iv) for the June 30, 2013 computation-the Company’s NOI for the second calendar quarter of 2013 multiplied by four and (v) for an Exit Event which occurs prior to July 1, 2013-the Company’s NOI for the calendar quarter during which such Exit Event occurs multiplied by (A) four, in the case of an Exit Event described in clause (i) of the definition thereof (i.e., death or permanent

Section 4.3. Qualified Income Offset.  Any Member who unexpectedly receives an adjustment, allocation or distribution described in Treasury Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) that causes or increases a deficit balance in such Member’s Capital Account (increased by the amount of such Member’s obligation to restore a deficit in such Member’s Capital Account, including any deemed obligation pursuant to the penultimate sentences of Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5)) shall be allocated items of income and gain in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, such deficit balance as quickly as possible.  This Section 4.3 is intended to comply with the alternate test for economic effect set forth in Treasury Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
 
Section 4.4. Nonrecourse Deductions.  Nonrecourse Deductions shall be allocated to the Members in accordance with their Percentage Interests.  For purposes of this Section 4.4, the term “Nonrecourse Deductions” has the meaning set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(1).
 
Section 4.5. Company Minimum Gain Chargeback.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, in the event there is a net decrease in Company Minimum Gain (as defined below) during any Company taxable year, the Members shall be allocated items of income and gain in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f).  For purposes of this Article IV the term “Company Minimum Gain” has the same meaning as “partnership minimum gain” as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(2), and any Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain shall be determined in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1).  This Section 4.5 is intended to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(f) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
 
Section 4.6. Member Nonrecourse Debt.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Article IV, to the extent required by Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i), any items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company that are attributable to a nonrecourse debt of the Company that constitutes Member Nonrecourse Debt (including chargebacks of Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as defined below) shall be allocated in accordance with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).  For purposes of this Article IV, the term “Member Nonrecourse Debt” has the same meaning as “partner nonrecourse debt” as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)(4) and the term “Member Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain” has the same meaning as “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” as set forth in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)(2).  This Section 4.6 is intended to satisfy the requirements of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) (including the partner nonrecourse debt chargeback requirements) and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
 
Section 4.7. Compliance with Code Section 704(b).  The allocation provisions contained in this Article IV are intended to comply with Code Section 704(b) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and shall be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.
 
Section 4.8. Other Allocation Provisions.  Any elections or other decisions relating to the allocations of Company items of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit shall be made by the Managing Member in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of this Agreement.
 
 
15

 
 
Section 4.9. No Deficit Restoration by Members.  No Member shall be required to contribute capital to the Company to restore a deficit balance in its Capital Account upon liquidation or otherwise.

LIST OF APPROVALS
 
Great Harvest is responsible to obtain all Approvals required for it to open, based on its own applications. To Seller’s knowledge, the following are the Approvals required by Great Harvest to open and the status of each:

1.  
CUP for liquor sales -- draft CUP (modified resolution delivered to ROI) has been issued, and Great Harvest is waiting for final sign off from the Planning Commissioner, per Planning Department Manager.  City Attorney is still reviewing the draft CUP.  One of the conditions of use is for the parking lot to be paved and striped.
2.  
Building permits – The application of Conex (Great Harvest’s general contractor) for the final sign off from the building department has been submitted and is subject to fire department sign-off.  In addition, handicap car parking lines need to be painted in front of the store.
3.  
CUP for exterior sign -- City is reviewing Great Harvest’s sign request along with the draft CUP.  In the City of Pomona, the maximum size of each letter is 18 inches , but Great Harvest is requesting 3 feet.  At this juncture, the two choices are either to obtain a variance (possibly as a part of the CUP) to the Pomona sign criteria or to install 18 inch signs.  Albertson’s sign was 48 inches.
4.

TENANT CLAIMS
 
1.  
Great Harvest loan advances are behind, and Great Harvest claims Seller is at fault.  Seller had been requesting loan balancing and proper loan draws with supporting documentation.
2.  
Precise Christian Academy claims that utility prorations may not have been properly allocated and that the 2009 CAM reimbursements should not have been offset by unpaid utility bills.
3.  
Youth World claims that its building needs a new roof and general updating, including possibly HVAC work.
4.  
Liquor Store claims its water bill is too high, and believes that someone else is using its water.
 
 
 
 
 
Schedule "8.1.9(C)-1"

 
 
SCHEDULE “8.1.9(C)-2”
 
SELLER DISCLOSURES
 
The aged receivables report attached hereto as a part of Schedule “1.5” is dated as of January 19, 2010 and not the date of this Agreement due to a software problem that Seller is experiencing as of the date of this Agreement. Seller is therefore unable to update such aged receivables report.  Seller has no knowledge of any material difference between the January 19, 2010 aged receivables report and the payment and arrears status of Tenants as of the date of this Agreement, except that Sahara Café paid $5,000 out of the $6,000 owed.

Great Harvest has a history of submitting loan draws which require line-item balancing, thus delaying payment by Landlord.  Great Harvest's opening has been delayed as the result of delayed loan advances.

Imperial Spa is 45 to 60 days behind its zoning approval schedule as called for in its lease.  Imperial Spa has requested that it be permitted to pay its first month of rent and security deposit at the end of February (but no approval of such request has been granted by Seller).

New Community Church may continue to dispute, and not pay, the utility pro rations for its shared meter.

Stuart A. Tanz, the company's Chief Executive Officer, commented that “ROIC is pleased to close on these three acquisitions early in the first fiscal quarter of 2010.  The newly acquired properties support our acquisition strategy of offering every day essentials to the consumer in densely populated in-fill locations with large barriers to entry. We have demonstrated our ability to effectively deploy capital since the business plan was approved by the shareholders on October 20, 2009 and are excited about the opportunities that continue to exist in the market.”
