Summary of Assets to be Purchased Type of Assets Trust beneficial interest in real estate Property Name Kyodo Building (Nishi-Shimbashi) (Note 1) Location 2-1, Nishi-Shimbashi 3-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo Acquisition Price JPY5,000,000,000 (excluding costs of acquisition, consumption tax, etc.) Date of Execution of Purchase Agreement August 10, 2010 Date of Delivery (scheduled) August 13, 2010 Seller Japan Core Asset II Ltd.

2. Reason for Acquisition Under the basic policy for the asset management and the management policy of the Investment Corporation set forth in its Articles of Incorporation, we believe that the inclusion of the property to be purchased which is located in the five central wards of Tokyo to our invested assets would contribute to the enhancement of the unitholder value, as well as to the stabilization and the enhancement of our portfolio. The Asset Manager has determined the acquisition of the target property in appreciation of the following points among other factors: (1) Location of the Property: Kyodo Building (Nishi-Shimbashi) (the Property ) is within an 8-minute walk to Toranomon Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, a 9-minute walk to Kamiyacho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line and a 9-minute walk to Onarimon Station on Tokyo Municipal Mita Line, and there are many medium-scale office buildings in the neighborhood of the Property. In neighboring areas, construction work for the improvement of Loop Highway 2 (commonly known as McArthur Road ) is currently underway and other extensive redevelopment has been started as well. As it is expected that this area would become more convenient by the further collection of large-scale, medium-scale and commercial facilities resulting from such redevelopment, in addition to the convenience of being able to access three subway stations, we consider that this area has high potential to be further developed as site for office buildings. Also, taking into account that the demand for office space in the area in which the Property is located has been showing steady development, we are of the opinion that the Property is expected to be stably operated after the acquisition. As a result of the acquisition of the Property, the ratio of the properties located in Minato-ku among all properties in our portfolio will increase from 13.1% to 14.7% and the ratio of the properties located in the five central wards of Tokyo will increase from 91.2% to 91.3% (both of which were calculated based on the acquisition price; the investment ratio of the properties located in the five central wards of Tokyo was calculated inclusive of the scheduled acquisition price for the property scheduled to be purchased, Kyodo Building (Kudan Ichigo-kan), disclosed in the Notice concerning Acquisition of Assets (Execution of Agreement) dated June 14, 2010). (2) Building Facilities: We consider that the building of the Property is a standard competitive building, taking into account that it is equipped with the specifications necessary for the use for office space (as it has 10 stories above ground and 1 below and the total floor area of approximately 2,091 tsubo, its standard floor features approximately 132 tsubo of floor space, 2,550mm of ceiling height for a standard floor and 50mm of OA floor). 2
