RECITALS
 
A.           The Seller owns the sole issued and outstanding share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “PVPS”), of the Issuer.
 
B.           The Issuer and the Seller entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of January 3, 2011 (the “Original Agreement”) pursuant to which the Issuer agreed to purchase the PVPS from the Seller in connection with and conditioned upon the completion of the Issuer’s proposed underwritten, registered public offering of its common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-169729) initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 4, 2010 (the “Public Offering”), in order to facilitate the proposed internalization of management of the Issuer (the “Internalization”) which was also conditioned upon the completion of the Public Offering.
 
C.           Following the abandonment of the Public Offering, the Issuer desires to proceed with the Internalization and become self-managed, and the parties hereto desire to amend and restate the Original Agreement to provide for the purchase of the PVPS by the Buyer instead of the Issuer on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.

Re:
Voting of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock of
 
Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Pacific Office Holding, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Holder,” as transferee of Pacific Office Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation), is the holder of the one outstanding share of proportionate voting preferred stock (“Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock”) of Pacific Office Properties Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”).  With respect to all matters submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Corporation, the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock entitles the holder thereof to cast votes equal to the total number of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), of the Corporation issuable upon exchange of the common limited partnership units (“Common Units”) and convertible preferred limited partnership units (“Preferred Units,” and, together with the Common Units, the “Partnership Units”) issued by Pacific Office Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Partnership”) of which the Corporation is sole general partner, that are held by POP Venture, LLC (“Venture”).  This letter sets forth the agreement between the Holder and Venture with respect to the voting of the Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock.

The parties agree that the Holder shall cast all votes with respect to the share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock in proportion to the votes (the “LP Direction Votes”) that the Holder receives from the holders of Partnership Units (other than the Corporation) entitled to vote with respect to the share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock. The Holder shall not cast any votes with respect to the share of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock unless it receives LP Direction Votes with respect thereto.

In order to give effect to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the Holder agrees to promptly deliver definitive proxy materials or other approved solicitation documents received from the Corporation or the Partnership as to any matter as to which votes or consents are sought by the Corporation from the holder of Proportionate Voting Preferred Stock. In connection with such delivery, the Holder shall not make any recommendation to any holder of Common Stock or Partnership Units with respect to how or whether such holder should vote its Common Stock or Partnership Units.

Further, the parties hereby consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of the California courts, both state and federal, and hereby waive any and all objections now or hereafter existing to personal jurisdiction of said courts over them. The parties waive, to the extent permitted under applicable law, any right they may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to venue to the extent any proceeding is brought in accordance with this section.

This letter agreement may be amended only by a written agreement executed by each of the parties.  No waiver of any provision or condition of this letter agreement by any party shall be valid unless set forth in a writing signed by such party.  No such waiver shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or similar provision or condition, or of any future event, act, breach or default, and no course of dealing shall be implied or arise from any waiver or series of waivers (written or otherwise) of any right or remedy hereunder.
