and Xxxxx shall purchase and assume from Seller, on the terms, covenants and
conditions set forth in this Agreement, the following described property
(collectively, the "Property"):
Real Property. All of Seller's interest in the Real Property, and
all rights and appurtenances pertaining thereto;
Intangible Property. Seller's interest in any and all intangible
personal property (collectively, the "Intangible Property") arising out of or
in connection with the ownership or operation of the Real Property, including
the right to use the current names of the Real Property, all licenses,
permits, certificates of occupancy and franchises issued to Seller by federal,
state or local municipal authorities relating to the use, maintenance,
occupancy or operation of the Real Property, all warranties given by third
parties with respect to the Real Property (including all warranties given to

entered into by Seller with respect to the Real Property and listed on
Exhibit C, attached hereto; and
Lease. The Lease, together with all security and damage deposits
held by Seller in accordance with the terms of the Lease.
Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay to Seller the purchase price (the

Thirty Thousand Dollars ($13,530,000.00) for the Property. The Purchase Price
shall be paid in the manner described in Section 4.
Escrow. Buyer and Seller shall open an escrow account (the "Escrow")
with First American Title Company ("Escrow Holder") within three (3) business
days after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.
Payment of Purchase Price. On or before Close of Escrow, Buyer shall
deposit with Escrow Holder by immediately available federal wire transfer or
cashier's check an amount equal to the Purchase Price, plus or minus the

Remedies; Liquidated Damages.
Tenant Improvement Allowance. Pursuant to the terms of the Lease,
Seller, as landlord, is obligated to pay to Buyer, as tenant, a tenant
improvement allowance (the "Tenant Improvement Allowance") in the amount of
One Million Eight Hundred Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,845,000.00) upon the
satisfaction of certain conditions set forth therein. With respect thereto,
Buyer, as tenant, and Seller, as landlord, hereby agree that, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Lease, (i) in the event that the
transfer of the Property from Seller to Buyer is not consummated due to a
default by Buyer under this Agreement, the amount of the Tenant Improvement
Allowance shall be reduced by Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the
"Liquidated Damages Amount") and Seller shall be entitled to retain the
Liquidated Damages Amount as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 5.3 below
and (ii) Buyer's entitlement to receive the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall
be deferred until (A) the termination of this Agreement or thirty (30) days
after Close of Escrow (whichever is first to occur) and (B) Buyer's
satisfaction of all of the conditions precedent set forth in Section VI.B of
the Work Letter, attached as Exhibit C to the Lease, regarding Seller's
obligation to pay to Buyer the Tenant Improvement Allowance. In the event
that the transfer of the Property from Seller to Buyer is not consummated due
to any reason other than a default by Buyer under this Agreement, the amount
of the Tenant Improvement Allowance shall be One Million Eight Hundred
Forty-Five Thousand Dollars (1,845,000.00).
Remedies. If the transfer of the Property from Seller to Buyer
does not close as a result of a default by Seller under this Agreement,
Xxxxx's sole remedy shall be either (but not both) (i) reimbursement of all
third party costs incurred by Xxxxx as a result of entering into this
Agreement (e.g., attorneys' fees) and in performing any due diligence in
connection with the Property, not to exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars
($50,000.00) in the aggregate (with Buyer thereby waiving any other remedy,
including specific performance, which Buyer may have against Seller), or
(ii) an action for specific performance of this Agreement (with Buyer thereby
waiving any other remedy which Buyer may have against Seller at law or in
equity). In addition, provided and on the condition that (i) Buyer is the
tenant under the Lease and (ii) Buyer has satisfied all of the conditions
precedent set forth in Section VI.B of the Work Letter attached as Exhibit C
to the Lease with respect to Seller's obligation to pay to Buyer the Tenant
Improvement Allowance, Seller shall immediately pay to Buyer the Tenant
Improvement Allowance owed to Buyer under the Lease.
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IF THE TRANSFER OF THE PROPERTY FROM SELLER
TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO A DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN WRITING IMMEDIATELY
AND WITHOUT FURTHER OBLIGATION TO BUYER, AND SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO
(1) REDUCE THE TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCE DUE TO THE TENANT UNDER THE LEASE
BY AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT AND (2) RETAIN THE
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS SELLER'S SOLE REMEDY
(EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW). THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES AS
A RESULT OF BUYER'S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WOULD BE DIFFICULT OR
IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE, AND THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AMOUNT IS THE BEST
ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER AS A RESULT OF SUCH
DEFAULT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT , AFFECT BUYER'S
RESTORATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 6.3.6, OR WAIVE OR AFFECT BUYER'S
INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 6.3.7 AND 12 AND SELLER'S RIGHTS TO THOSE
INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PAYMENT OF THE LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR
PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT
IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS
OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389. THE PARTIES WITNESS THEIR AGREEMENT TO

have elected not to cure or satisfy all of the Objections. If Seller notifies
Buyer in writing of its election not to cure or satisfy any of the Objections
(or is deemed to have elected not to cure or satisfy the Objections), then
Buyer shall either: (A) waive the Objections and proceed with Close of Escrow
pursuant to all of the terms of this Agreement without any reduction in the

before the earlier of the second business day after (i) Buyer's receipt of
Seller's response to the Title Objection Notice or (ii) the expiration of the
five (5) business day period referenced above. If Buyer fails to notify
Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement within the time
period provided above, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the Objections and
elected to proceed with Close of Escrow.
Modification of Title Report. In the event that Title Company
issues any modification or supplement to the Title Report between the end of
the Due Diligence Period and Close of Escrow that is not the result of
activities of Buyer or any of Buyer's agents, representatives, consultants or
contractors, Buyer shall promptly give Seller written notice of the change
and, if, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, the change materially and adversely
affects the Real Property or Buyer's projected use thereof, Buyer shall have
three (3) days after receipt of the modification or supplement to the Title
Report in which to object thereto by written notice to Seller. If Buyer
objects to such a change, Seller shall have ten (10) days after the date
Seller receives Buyer's objection notice (and, if necessary, Close of Escrow
shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give Seller this full ten
(10) day period) in which to satisfy Buyer's objection or notify Buyer in
writing of its election not to satisfy Buyer's objection. If Seller fails to
satisfy Buyer's objection within the ten (10) day period or notifies Buyer in
writing of its election not to satisfy the objection, then Buyer shall either:
(A) waive the objection and proceed with Close of Escrow pursuant to all of
the terms of this Agreement without any reduction in the Purchase Price, or
(B) terminate this Agreement. Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of its
election either to terminate this Agreement or waive its objection within two
(2) business days after the earlier of expiration of such ten (10) day period
or Xxxxx's receipt of Seller's written notice election not to cure Xxxxx's
objection. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section,
(i) this Agreement, and all of the obligations, rights and liabilities of
Buyer and Seller to each other hereunder (except for Buyer's restoration
obligation under Section 6.3.6, Buyer's indemnity obligations under this
Agreement, and the parties' confidentiality obligations under Section 15.16)
shall terminate; (ii) Buyer shall immediately return to Seller all originals
and copies of the Due Diligence Materials which Buyer or Buyer's consultants,
agents, contractors or representatives received from Seller or copied from
Seller's files and (iii) Buyer shall deliver to Seller, at no cost to Seller,
the updated Survey and any Buyer Reports within three (3) days after Buyer
notifies Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement to the extent
requested by Seller.

contained in Section 6.6 of this Agreement, Xxxxx agrees to purchase the
Property subject to outstanding bonds attributable to and unpaid assessments,

or deemed waived by the time provided therein, then, except in the case of a
failure of the condition precedent in Section 9.2.4.c or a failure of the
condition precedent set forth in Section 9.2.4.b. due to any reason other than
a change in circumstances over which Seller has no reasonable control (either
of which failure shall constitute a default by Seller under this Agreement),
this Agreement shall terminate. If Close of Escrow fails to occur due to a
default under this Agreement by either Seller or Buyer, the parties'
respective remedies shall be as described in Section 5 hereof.
Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, the parties' participation in Close of Escrow shall be deemed
a waiver of (i) each party's ability to terminate this Agreement on the basis
of any failure of any conditions precedent and (ii) each party's right to seek
damages from the other party for the breach of any representations, warranty
or covenant of which the non-breaching party had actual knowledge prior to

Agreement, subject to the express limitations provided in Section 15.12. For
purposes of this Section 9.4, a party shall be deemed to have "knowledge" of a

to cure any Objections. The day on which Escrow actually closes is
hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date."
Escrow.
Time. Close of Escrow shall occur when all documents and funds
specified in this Section 11 have been deposited into Escrow. The failure of
Seller or Buyer to be in a position by the Scheduled Closing Date to fulfill
their respective obligations with respect to Close of Escrow and thus enable
Title Company to cause Close of Escrow to occur on the Scheduled Closing Date
shall constitute a default by the party so failing.

under this Agreement, the costs incurred in connection with the Escrow,
including the cost of the Title Report and any cancellation fees or other
costs of Title Company, shall be paid by the defaulting party. If Close of

Prorations. All accrued rent (including all accrued
operating expenses and tax escalations and recoveries), charges and revenues
of any kind under the Lease shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. Pacific
Daylight Savings Time on the day immediately prior to Close of Escrow (the

Close of Escrow occurs; provided, however, Seller shall receive a credit at

Close of Escrow, either Buyer or Seller receives any revenue to which it is
not entitled under the terms of this Agreement, the party receiving the

reconciliations are performed (which tenant reconciliations shall be performed
no later than sixty (60) days after the end of the calendar year), Buyer and
Seller shall promptly re-prorate the rent, charges and revenues under the
Lease if any additional rent is due to or owed by the tenant under the terms

for all brokerage commissions which shall become due after Close of Escrow in
connection with any modifications or amendments to the Lease or any other
leases entered into by Buyer.
Security Deposits. Buyer shall receive a credit against the
Purchase Price equal to all security deposits or any other deposits currently
held by Seller in connection with the Lease.

Date additional or supplemental Taxes (which are not the obligation of the
tenant under the Lease) are assessed against the Real Property by reason of
any event occurring prior to or on the Proration Date, or there is any rebate
of such Taxes (with Seller being responsible for the supplemental or
additional taxes attributable to the period prior to and including the
Proration Date and Buyer being responsible for the supplemental or additional
taxes attributable to the period after the Proration Date), Buyer and Seller
shall promptly re-prorate such Taxes, and any amounts due from one party to
the other shall be paid in cash at that time. All Taxes which the tenant is
obligated to pay to Seller as landlord under the Lease shall be considered to
be rent for purposes of prorating such Taxes and shall be prorated among Buyer
and Seller pursuant to Section 11.7.2.
Utilities. Buyer shall arrange with all utility services
and companies serving the Real Property to have accounts started in the name
of Buyer or its property manager beginning as of the Closing Date. Seller

Proration Date, all utility charges attributable to the Real Property that are
not payable directly by the tenant under the Lease. All utility charges
attributable to the Real Property that the tenant is obligated to pay to
Seller as landlord under the Lease shall be considered to be rent for purposes
of prorating such utility charges and shall be prorated among Buyer and Seller
pursuant to Section 11.7.2).

Escrow Holder with a preliminary calculation of prorations no later than three
(3) days prior to the Proration Date and a final calculation no later than one
(1) day prior to the Proration Date. The final calculation shall be executed
by each party and may be relied upon by Xxxxxx Holder in completing the
closing adjustments and prorations. In the event incomplete information is
available, or estimates have been utilized to calculate prorations as of the
Proration Date, any prorations relating thereto shall be further adjusted and
completed outside of Escrow within sixty (60) days after the Proration Date or
as soon as possible after complete information becomes available to Buyer and
Seller. Any adjustments to initial estimated prorations that are required
upon review of such complete information shall be made by Buyer and Seller,
with due diligence and cooperation, by prompt cash payment to the party
entitled to a credit as a result of such adjustments. Any errors or
adjustments in calculations of the foregoing adjustments shall be corrected or
adjusted as soon as practicable after Close of Escrow; provided, however, the
provisions hereof shall survive Close of Escrow for not more than one (1)
year.
Additional Costs. Buyer and Seller each shall pay their own
legal, lending and other fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
negotiation, documentation and closing of the contemplated transactions.
Brokerage Commission. Upon Close of Escrow, a real estate sales
commission (the "Commission") shall be paid by Seller to Buyer's Broker
(defined in the Summary of Certain Terms) pursuant to a separate agreement
entered into between Seller and Xxxxx's Broker. Except for Seller's payment
to Xxxxx's Broker of the Commission (from payment of which Seller shall
indemnify and hold harmless Buyer), each party to this Agreement warrants to
the other that no person or entity can properly claim a right to a real estate
commission, finder's fee or other real estate brokerage-type compensation
(collectively, "Real Estate Compensation") based upon the acts of that party
with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each party
hereby agrees to indemnify, protect and defend the other (by counsel
reasonably acceptable to the party seeking indemnification) against and hold
the other harmless from and against any and all loss, damage, liability or
expense, including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any
claims for Real Estate Compensation by any person or entity based upon such
acts.

of the Real Property is materially (as defined below) damaged or destroyed by
fire or other casualty, or is taken by a material (as defined below)
condemnation or action of eminent domain (or a material condemnation or
eminent domain action has been commenced against all or any portion of the
Real Property), then (i) upon obtaining actual knowledge thereof each party
shall notify the other of the casualty or the condemnation or eminent domain
action and (ii) except as provided in this Section 13, Buyer shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller within five
(5) business days after Xxxxx's receipt of notice of any casualty or
condemnation or eminent domain action.

Buyer is the tenant under the Lease and (ii) Buyer has satisfied all of the
conditions precedent set forth in Section VI.B of the Work Letter attached as
Exhibit C to the Lease with respect to Seller's obligation to pay to Buyer the
Tenant Improvement Allowance, Seller shall immediately pay to Buyer the Tenant
Improvement Allowance owed to Buyer under the Lease upon Buyer's termination
of this Agreement pursuant to Section 13. Upon termination of this Agreement,
neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights or obligations under
this Agreement (except for Buyer's restoration obligation under 6.3.6, Buyer's
indemnity obligations under this Agreement and the parties' confidentiality
obligations under Section 15.16).
No Election to Terminate. If Buyer does not exercise the option
to terminate this Agreement, or does not have the option pursuant to the
express provisions of this Section 13, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement; however, Buyer shall be entitled to receive
and keep at Close of Escrow all insurance proceeds, in the event of any
casualty that occurs during the Contract Period, and all rights to receive
awards, in the case of a taking by condemnation or eminent domain that occurs
during the Contract Period with respect to the Property, regardless of when
paid and regardless of whether paid to Buyer or Seller, and Close of Escrow
shall be consummated pursuant to the terms hereof. There shall be no
reduction of the Purchase Price as a result of the casualty or condemnation.
Definition of Materiality.
Casualty. For purposes of this Agreement, the Real Property

reasonable opinion of Seller, it would take more than ninety (90) days from
after the date of the damage to repair the damage, or (ii) the cost of
repairing the damage caused by the fire or other casualty which is not covered
by insurance is reasonably estimated by Seller to exceed Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00). In addition, a casualty shall be deemed
material if the damage or loss is uninsured and the cost to repair the
Property to its condition prior to the occurrence of the damage or destruction
is reasonably estimated by Seller to exceed the amount of Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).
Condemnation. For purposes of this Agreement, a material
condemnation or action in eminent domain shall be deemed to have occurred only
if, (i) the taking would materially impair access or require any substantial
reconfiguration of the Improvements located on the Real Property, or (ii) the
amount of the award as reasonably estimated by Seller would exceed Two Hundred
Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00).
Damage Caused by Tenant. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section, if the Real Property is damaged due to the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the tenant under the Lease, Buyer shall
not have the right to terminate this Agreement.

provided, however, that unless Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, receives a
written notice regarding an alleged breach of any representation, warranty or
covenant of Seller or Buyer contained in the Sections referenced above on or
prior to the date that is one (1) year after Close of Escrow, then Seller's or
Buyer's obligations and liability with respect to such representation,
warranty or covenant, as applicable, shall terminate on the date that is one
(1) year after Close of Escrow.
Captions. Section titles or captions contained in this Agreement
are inserted as a matter of convenience and for reference, and in no way
define, limit, extent or describe the scope of this Agreement.
Exhibits. All exhibits attached hereto shall be incorporated
herein by reference as if set out herein in full.
Construction. The parties acknowledge that each party and its
counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that the normal rule of
construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the
drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement
or any amendment or exhibits hereto.
Confidentiality. Neither Buyer nor Seller shall make any public
announcement or disclosure of any information related to this Agreement to
outside brokers or third parties, before or after the Close of Escrow, without
the specific prior written consent of the other, except for such disclosures
to the parties' lenders, creditors, partners, members, officers, employees,
agents, consultants, attorneys, accountants, and exchange facilitators as may
be necessary to permit each party to perform its obligations hereunder and as
required to comply with applicable laws and/or rules of any exchange upon
which a party's shares may be traded; provided, however, Seller may disclose
the existence of this Agreement and the contents of any Due Diligence
Materials to other potential purchases of the Property. Seller's obligations
under this Section 15.16 shall terminate upon the termination of this
Agreement (other than by the Close of Escrow). Buyer's obligations under this
Section 15.16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement; provided,
however, Buyer's obligations under this Section 15.16 shall terminate upon
Close of Escrow.
Tenant Improvement Allowance. Buyer acknowledges that Seller is
assigning to Buyer all of its obligations under the Lease, including, without
limitation, the obligation to pay to the tenant under the Lease the Tenant
Improvement Allowance in the amount of One Million Eight Hundred
Forty-Five Thousand Dollars ($1,845,000.00). There shall be no adjustment to
the Purchase Price as the result of Xxxxx's assumption of Seller's obligation
to pay the outstanding Tenant Improvement Allowance to the tenant under the
Lease.
Deferred Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale of
the Property as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the "Exchange")
pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended,
provided that (i) Close of Escrow shall not be delayed or affected by reason
of the Exchange, nor shall the consummation or accomplishment of the Exchange
be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to either party's obligations
under this Agreement; (ii) the party electing to consummate this transaction
as part of an Exchange (the "Electing Party") shall effect the Exchange
through an assignment of this Agreement, or its rights under this Agreement,
to a qualified intermediary; (iii) the other party (the "Accommodator") shall
not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for the
relinquished property or be required to acquire or hold title to any real
property for purposes of consummating the Exchange; and (iv) at Close of
Escrow the Electing Party shall pay any additional costs that would not
otherwise have been incurred by the Accommodator had the Electing Party not
consummated this transaction through the Exchange. The Accommodator shall not
by this Agreement or acquiescence to the Exchange proposed by the Electing
Party have its rights under this Agreement affected or diminished in any
manner or be responsible for compliance with or be deemed to have warranted to
the Electing Party that the Exchange in fact complies with Section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
