Section 3. Purchase Price.

(a) Upon completion of the Bid Process, the Purchase Price for the Property (“Purchase Price”) shall be calculated in accordance with the formula set forth in Exhibit D, attached hereto. As set forth on Exhibit E, the preliminary purchase price for the Property is Seventeen Million Three Hundred Fifty-Three Thousand Six Hundred Thirty-Four and No Dollars ($17,353,634).

(a) Within two (2) business days after this Agreement is executed by Purchaser and Seller, Purchaser shall deposit into escrow at the Title Company via wire transfer the sum of One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000) (the “Deposit”) and the parties shall execute and cause the Title Company to record a short form memorandum of this Agreement in the public records in the County of Alameda, as described in Section 33 hereof. At such time as Seller delivers evidence reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser that Seller has conveyed the Land and assigned this Agreement to a single purpose entity wholly owned by Seller and with an independent director, Purchaser shall deposit into escrow at the Title Company via wire transfer sufficient funds to increase the Deposit to Three Million Four Hundred Sixty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy-Nine Dollars ($3,468,979). In consideration for Seller’s execution of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be non-refundable as of the date deposited into Escrow by Purchaser, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be credited against the Purchase Price upon the Closing. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement for any reason other than a material default by Seller or pursuant to Sections 5(a), 6(b), 8(a), 8(d) or 10, below, or if Purchaser otherwise materially breaches this Agreement, prior to the commencement of construction of the Improvements, then after expiration of applicable notice and cure periods, Seller may retain the Deposit and if Purchaser has not already done so, terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement for any reason other than a material default by Seller or if Purchaser otherwise materially breaches this Agreement, after the commencement of construction of the Improvements but prior to Substantial Completion of the Improvements, Seller may retain the Deposit and Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for all other costs in excess of the Deposit incurred by Seller as of the date of termination. Additionally, Seller may elect, at its sole discretion, upon delivery of thirty (30) days notice to Purchaser, to cause completion of the construction of the Improvements and recover from Purchaser an amount equal to Seller’s Total Development Costs (as defined below) less the sum of (i) the Deposit and any additional costs reimbursed by Purchaser and (ii) the reasonable net sale or lease proceeds, if any, received by Seller upon a sale or lease of the Property to a third party in a good faith arms’ length transaction. If Seller elects to complete construction of the Improvements, Seller will use good faith efforts to mitigate the Total Development Costs by using reasonable good faith efforts to market the Property for sale or lease to a third party upon completion of construction in a market rate transaction. Such reasonable good faith efforts may include making changes to the Improvements, in Seller’s reasonable discretion, to make the Property more marketable to potential purchasers or lessees. In the event Seller sells the Property to a third party purchaser for an amount greater than the Total Development Costs less the Deposit and

6

any additional costs reimbursed by Purchaser, Seller shall refund to Purchaser the amount by which the sales price exceeds the Total Development Costs less the Deposit, up to a maximum of the amount of the Deposit. “Total Development Costs” shall mean all costs incurred by Seller in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereunder, including, without limitation, the Predevelopment Costs, the costs set forth in Section 3 above (including the cost of the Land in an amount equal to $12.75 per square foot of the Land, net of assessments), any carrying costs incurred from the date of substantial completion of the Improvements through the sale or lease of the Property including payment of property taxes and assessments, association dues, building operating and maintenance expenses, additional finance charges and penalties under the Construction Loan and any permanent loan obtained by Seller, and any costs incurred by Seller in pursuit of its remedies under this Agreement.

(b) Deposit Instructions. The parties shall instruct the Title Company to hold the Deposit in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, with interest credited to the Purchase Price at Closing. In the event of a dispute between the parties hereto with respect to the disposition of the amount held in escrow, the funds shall be invested in escrow in accounts which are federally insured, which invest solely in government securities, or which are reasonably satisfactory to Seller, and shall be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(c) Designation of Reporting Person. In order to assure compliance with the requirements of Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (for purposes of this Section 4, the “Code”), and any related reporting requirements of the Code and the California Revenue and Taxation Code (for purposes of this Section 4, the “R&T Code”) the parties hereto agree as follows:

(i) Seller and Purchaser shall designate the Title Company as the person to be responsible for all information reporting under Section 6045(e) of the Code (the “Reporting Person”) and the R&T Code. If the Title Company refuses to serve as the Reporting Person, Seller and Purchaser shall agree to appoint another third party as the Reporting Person.

(ii) Seller and Purchaser hereby agree:

(A) to provide to the Reporting Person all information and certifications regarding such party, as reasonably requested by the Reporting Person or otherwise required to be provided by a party to the transaction described herein under Section 6045 of the Code; and

(B) to provide to the Reporting Person such party’s taxpayer identification number and a statement (on Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or an acceptable substitute form, or on any other form the applicable current or future Code sections and regulations might require and/or any form requested by the Reporting Person), signed under penalties of perjury, stating that the taxpayer identification number supplied by such party to the Reporting Person is correct.

7

(C) Each party hereto agrees to retain this Agreement for not less than four years from the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurred, and to produce it to the Internal Revenue Service upon a valid request therefor.

Section 5. Default.

(a) (i) If, prior to the commencement of construction of the Improvements, Seller has materially defaulted under this Agreement by failing to perform its obligations under this Agreement and Seller fails to cure such default within ten (10) business days following Purchaser’s notice, (which notice shall be given, if at all, prior to the commencement of construction of the Improvements) or such longer period as reasonably may be required, as its sole remedy, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon the entire Deposit and interest earned thereon will be returned to Purchaser and if not returned to Purchaser within five (5) days of demand shall bear interest at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum. Purchaser expressly waives its rights to seek any damages in the event of Seller’s default under this subparagraph 5(a)(i). The provisions of this Section 5(a) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

(b) (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if either i) Seller commences construction of the Improvements but fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Improvements by March 2, 2007, subject to extension for Permitted Delays; or ii) the Construction Lender records a Notice of Default against the Property pursuant to Section 2924, et seq. of the California Civil Code and such Notice of Default is not rescinded by the Construction Lender within sixty (60) days of recordation, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by notice given within five (5) days after such date and prior to the Substantial Completion of the Improvements, either to i) require Seller to refund the full amount of the Deposit to Purchaser in the manner herein described, in which event this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further obligation to one another; or ii) purchase the Land for $10.00 per square foot (the “Release Price”) (which, if there is a land draw on the Construction Loan, shall be utilized by Seller to pay down such land draw), in which event Seller shall refund the Deposit at the Closing, less the amount of hard costs and soft costs incurred by Seller as of the date of termination. In the event Purchaser shall elect to purchase the Land, Purchaser shall assume the Construction Loan, if any, as of the date of such election and Seller shall assign such contracts for the design and construction of the Improvements to Purchaser as Purchaser may so elect, to the extent such contracts are assignable and Purchaser shall indemnify Seller for any claims or liabilities arising after such time as Purchaser assumes the Construction Loan and/or takes assignment of contracts for the design and construction of the Improvements. Any sale of the Property to Purchaser under this Section 5(a) shall close within fifteen (15) days of written demand by Purchaser. Seller shall pay and deposit with the Title Company cash at the Closing to cover (i) the balance of the land draw, if any, on the Construction Loan advanced to retire the Fremont Mortgage in excess of the Release Price; (ii) the cost of title insurance, transfer taxes and escrow fees; and (iii) sums needed to pay any monetary liens other than the Permitted Title Exceptions. The transfer shall otherwise occur in the manner described in Section 15, below, except for Sections 15(c)(ii), 15(d)(ii), 15(f)(iv) and 15(h).

8

(c) If Seller materially breaches this Agreement after Substantial Completion of the Improvements by refusing to convey title to the Property to Purchaser, Purchaser shall retain only the right of specific performance for such failure to convey title to the Property to Purchaser.

(d) Seller shall not be liable for any consequential damages including but not limited to business losses or lost profits of Purchaser upon occurrence of any default by Seller hereunder, except in the event of a default under Section 5(b), above.

(e) If Purchaser fails to make any payment when due under this Agreement or otherwise has materially defaulted under this Agreement by failing to perform its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser fails to cure such default within ten (10) days following Seller’s notice to Purchaser’s Designated Representative, or such longer period as reasonably may be required, the entire Deposit will be paid to Seller. In addition to any other right or remedy available to Seller hereunder, Seller shall have the option to recover its Total Development Costs, pursuant to Section 4(a).

Section 6. Title.

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that it has received and reviewed (a) the PTR; (b) copies of all recorded documents referred to on Schedule B of the PTR; and (c) any existing survey of the Land provided that, if Purchaser elects to order an updated or new survey at any time, Purchaser may do so at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense. By its execution hereof, Purchaser hereby expressly waives and approves the Permitted Exceptions, and Purchaser waives any right to terminate this Agreement or condition to the purchase of the Property with respect to the Permitted Exceptions.

(b) As a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to purchase the Property under this Agreement, Title Company shall have issued the Title Commitment. Seller shall execute such mechanic’s lien indemnity, substantially similar to Exhibit K, as may be reasonably required by the Title Company in connection with issuance of the Title Policy. If at Closing the Title Company has not issued the Title Policy due to any Title Defects, Purchaser will have the following options, which must be exercised by Purchaser within five (5) business days after the earlier of the scheduled Closing Date or the date on which Seller gives notice to Purchaser that the Title Company will not be able to issue the Title Policy to:

(i) accept title to the Property with the Title Defects without reduction of the Purchase Price (except that if the Title Defect is in the form of a monetary lien created by Seller, Purchaser may, at its election, deduct from the Purchase Price at Closing the amount of the lien or encumbrance or Seller shall pay off such lien or encumbrance at Closing);

(ii) postpone the Closing for not more than fifteen (15) days to give Seller time in which to remove or correct the Title Defects, which Seller agrees to use reasonable good faith efforts to do so; or

9

(iii) elect not to consummate the transaction; provided that if the Title Defect is a monetary Title Defect which cannot be retired from the net cash proceeds otherwise available to Seller at Closing or was caused by the act or omission of Seller or its agents, employees and contractors, Seller shall be in material breach of this Agreement and Purchaser shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement in the manner described in Section 5(b), above.

If Purchaser elects to postpone the Closing under clause (ii), Purchaser will have the further choice of clause (i) or (iii) to be exercised by notice to Seller given within five (5) business days after expiration of the postponement. The Closing Date will be extended for a period of time (not to exceed thirty days) necessary to permit Purchaser to exercise the rights in this Section 6.

(c) Purchaser hereby agrees that, in the event Purchaser directs Seller to convey title to the Property at Closing to any Person other than Purchaser, the grantee shall have first assumed Purchaser’s interest in this Agreement prior to such Person being named the Grantee under the Grant Deed, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G. Purchaser hereby agrees (and, if applicable, such grantee shall agree) to look solely to the Title Policy in connection with, and hereby releases (and, if applicable, such grantee shall release) Seller from any and all liability for, matters of title, except to the extent of Seller’s breach of warranties implied under the Grant Deed, pursuant to Civil Code Section 1113.

Section 7. Purchaser’s Due Diligence

(a) Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has prior to the execution of this Agreement delivered or made available to Purchaser the items listed on Exhibit J (collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”). All documents, materials and information furnished to or made available to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 7(a) have been furnished or made available to Purchaser for information purposes only and without representation or warranty by Seller with respect thereto, express or implied, except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in Section 12 below.

(b) There shall be no due diligence period following execution of this Agreement, however, Purchaser shall have the right to enter the Property for purposes of inspections in connection with the completion of the Improvements in accordance with Section 8 of this Agreement and Section 1.2(b)(ii) of Exhibit F to this Agreement. By its execution hereof, except as provided in Section 12, below, Purchaser hereby expressly waives and approves all matters set forth on Exhibit J and Purchaser waives any right to terminate this Agreement or condition the purchase of the Property with respect to any item shown on Exhibit J.

Section 8. Completion of Improvements.

(a) (i) Upon execution of this Agreement, Seller will commence and will diligently cause the Improvements to be designed and constructed in accordance with the Base Building Specifications, this Agreement and Exhibit F to this Agreement. Construction will be undertaken by the General Contractor pursuant to the Construction Contract. The cost of construction will be funded with the proceeds of the Construction

10

Loan and, to the extent applicable, the Additional Deposit (as such term is defined in Exhibit D hereto). Subject to Permitted Delays, if Seller has not closed the Construction Loan, recorded the lot line adjustment pursuant to Section 14(d) hereof, released the Fremont Lien and commenced construction of the Improvements by July 1, 2006, Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller. In such event, Seller shall cause the Title Company to return the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon to Purchaser. If Seller fails to cause the Deposit to be returned to Purchaser with five (5) days of receipt or Purchaser’s termination notice, Seller shall pay interest to Purchaser on the amount of the Deposit wrongfully withheld at the rate of ten percent (10%) per annum from the date of the termination notice until the date the Deposit is refunded. Upon receipt of the Deposit refund, Purchaser shall execute a quitclaim of the Memorandum of Agreement, as described in Section 33, below, and shall cause such quitclaim to be recorded as soon as is reasonably practical.

(b) (ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Seller is delayed in commencing construction of the Improvements due to Permitted Delays for one hundred eighty (180) days or more, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller after such one hundred eighty (180) days of Permitted Delay have passed but prior to commencement of construction of the Improvements. In such event, Seller shall cause the Title Company to return the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon to Purchaser, less the amount of all Predevelopment Costs incurred by Seller up to the date of Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s termination notice and Purchaser shall execute a quitclaim of the Memorandum of Agreement, as described in Section 33, below, and shall cause such quitclaim to be recorded as soon as is reasonably practical. If, after such termination and in the event Seller receives a refund of deposits to third parties for any portion of such Predevelopment Costs, Seller shall promptly forward the refunded amount, if any, to Purchaser. Seller shall exert reasonable efforts to obtain such refunds of deposits to third parties for any portion of such Predevelopment Costs.

(c) (iii) If, after Seller commences construction of the Improvements, Seller is delayed in achieving Substantial Completion of the Improvements due to Permitted Delays for one hundred eighty (180) days or more, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice to Seller after such one hundred eighty (180) days of Permitted Delay have passed but prior to Seller’s achievement of Substantial Completion of the Improvements. In such event, Seller shall cause the Title Company to return the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon to Purchaser, less the amount of all Predevelopment Costs, all costs of construction of the Improvements incurred by Seller up to the date of Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s termination notice and such amount as may be reasonably required by Seller to demolish the Improvements and/or restore the site to saleable condition, in Seller’s reasonable judgment, and Purchaser shall execute a quitclaim of the Memorandum of Agreement, as described in Section 33, below, and shall cause such quitclaim to be recorded as soon as is reasonably practical.

By execution of this Agreement, Seller fully accepts the risk of default by the General Contractor under the Construction Contract. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event the General Contractor breaches or is in default under the Construction Contract

11

and Seller must expend sums in excess of the Guaranteed Hard Costs, such costs shall be borne by Seller and the Purchase Price hereunder shall not be increased.

(d) The Base Building Specifications and subsequent Schematic Design and Construction Documents may be changed from time to time at Purchaser’s request or with Purchaser’s approval, in the manner described in Exhibit F. Any such changes shall only be made by Seller under an Amendment of this Agreement prepared by Seller and executed by Purchaser that adjusts the Purchase Price and, if the change involves a Permitted Delay, the Closing Date.
