or disapprove in writing to Escrow Holder, Seller and the other Party's Broker,
any item, matter or document subject to Buyer's approval under the terms of this

Disapproved Item prior to the Expected Closing Date ("Sellers Election").
Sellers failure to give to Buyer within said ten (10) day period, written
notice of Sellers commitment to cure such Disapproved Item on or before the
Expected Closing Date shall be conclusively presumed to be Sellers Election not
to cure such Disapproved Item. If Seller elects, either by written notice or
failure to give written notice, not to cure a Disapproved Item, Buyer shall have
the election, within ten (10) days after Sellers Election to either accept title
to the Property subject to that Disapproved Item, or to terminate this
transaction. Buyers failure to elect termination by written notice to Seller
within said ten (10) day period shall constitute Buyers election to accept title
to the Property subject to that Disapproved Item without deduction or offset.
Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, Sellers right to cure shall not
apply to [Hazardous Substance Conditions referenced in paragraph 9.1 (c) or] to
the Financing Contingency set forth in paragraph 5. Unless the parties mutually
instruct otherwise, if the time periods for the satisfaction of contingencies or
for Sellers and Xxxxxx said Elections would expire on a date after the Expected
Closing Date, the Expected Closing Date shall be deemed extended to coincide
with the expiration of three (3) business days following the expiration of: (a)
the applicable contingency period(s), (b) the period within which the Seller may
elect to cure the Disapproved Item, or (c) if Seller elects not to cure, the
period within which Buyer may elect to terminate his transaction, whichever is

in the event the transaction covered by this Agreement is not consummated.
9.6. [As defined in subparagraph 9.1 (c),] Xxxxx and Seller acknowledge
that extensive local, state and Federal legislation establish broad liability
upon owners and/or users of real property for the investigation and remediation
of a Hazardous Substance Condition. The determination of the existence of a
Hazardous Substance Condition and the evaluation of the impact of such a
condition are highly technical and beyond the expertise of Xxxxxx(s). Xxxxx and
Seller acknowledge that they have been advised by Xxxxxx(s) to consult their own
technical and legal experts with respect to the possible Hazardous Substance
Condition aspects of this Property or adjoining properties, and Buyer and Seller
are not relying upon any investigation by or statement of Xxxxxx(s) with respect
thereto. [Xxxxx and Seller hereby assume]

26. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE NATURE OF A REAL ESTATE AGENCY RELATIONSHIP.
26.1 The Parties and Xxxxxx(s) agree that their relationship(s) shall be
governed by the principles set forth in California Civil Code, Section 2375, as
summarized in the following paragraph 26.2.
26.2 When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding
a real estate transaction, a Buyer or Seller should from the outset understand
what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or
agents in the transaction. Xxxxx and Seller acknowledge being advised by the
Broker(s) in this transaction as follows:
(a) Seller's Agent A Sellers agent under a listing agreement with the Seller
acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Sellers agent or subagent has the
following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Seller. A fiduciary duty of utmost
care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the
Buyer and the Seller., a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and care in
performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing and good
faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting
the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the
diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to
reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other
Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
(b) Xxxxx's Agent A selling agent can, with a Buyers consent, agree to act as
agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not the Sellers
agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services
rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting only for a
Xxxxx has the following affirmative obligations. (1) To the Buyer.- A fiduciary
duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer.
(2) To the Buyer and the Seller., a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skill and
care in performance of the agent's duties. b. A duty of honest and fair dealing
and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially
affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or
within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An agent is not
obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from
the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.
(c) Agent Representing Both Seller and Buyer. A real estate agent, either
acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the
agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the
knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. (1) In a dual agency
situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the
Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and
loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other duties to the
Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections (a) or (b) of
this paragraph 26.2. (2) In representing both Seller and Buyer, the agent may
not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the
other Party that the Seller will accept a price less than the listing price or
that the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) The above
duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or
Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer and Seller
should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express
their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person
qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advise is desired,
consult a competent professional.
(d) Further Disclosures. Throughout this transaction Buyer and Seller may
receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisting
in the transaction. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents each time it
is presented, considering the relationship between them and the real estate
agent in this transaction and that disclosure.
26.3 Confidential Information: Buyer and Seller agree to identify to
Broker(s) as "Confidential" any communication or information given Broker(s)
that is considered by such Party to be confidential.
27. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS:
Additional provisions of this offer, if any, are as follows or are attached
hereto by an addendum consisting of paragraphs 28 through 33. (It will be
presumed no other provisions are included unless specified here.)

material adverse effect on the Property or the use occupancy, or operation
thereof.
(c) To the best of Seller's knowledge: (1) there are no "Hazardous

local regulation, investigation, remediation or removal as potentially injurious

expire on June 30, 1998. There are no breaches or defaults by Seller under any
such leases, nor are there any facts or circumstances which with the giving of
notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute such a breach or
default. To the best of Seller's knowledge, there are no breaches of defaults by
any lessees or sublessees under any such leases or subleases, nor are there any
facts or circumstances which with the giving of notice or the passage of time,
or both, would constitute such a breach or default.
(h) Except for the agreements (the "Service Contracts") set forth on
Exhibit "A" attached to this Agreement and incorporated herein by reference,

agreements which affect or will affect, or which will be obligations of, Buyer
or the Property, including, without limitation, any agreements or contracts
relating to maintenance, construction, parking, easements, reciprocal easements,
common driveways, party walls, rubbish removal, landscaping, deliveries,
brokerage, sales, leasing, or cost contribution. Except as otherwise expressly
stated in the attached schedule of Service Contracts, each of the Service
Contracts may be terminated by any party thereto without liability, expense or
penalty of the terminating party, upon not more than thirty (30) days' notice.

Seller shall cause any or all Service Contracts and other agreements designated
by Buyer to be terminated prior to the Closing, should such notice to Seller be
received not less than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, and Seller shall pay
all termination charges and other costs and shall perform all obligations in
connection therewith. In such event, Seller shall also deliver to the
appropriate parties written notices of termination of the Service Contracts so
designated in writing by Xxxxx, which notices may be conditioned upon the
Closing hereunder. With respect to those Service Contracts and other agreements
which Buyer elects not to have terminated, Seller shall deliver written notice
to all parties to such Service Contracts and agreements when requested by Buyer
and in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, notifying
20
such other parties of the transfer of the Property and the assignment of
Xxxxxx's entire interest under said Service Contract and agreements. There is no
breach or default under any of the Service Contracts or other agreements, nor do
there exist any facts or circumstances which, with the giving of notice or the
passage of time or both, would constitute such a breach or default. From and
after the execution hereof, Seller shall not modify, amend, extend or terminate
any Service Contract or any other obligations or agreements affecting the
Property, nor shall Seller enter into any contracts, agreements or
understandings (or modifications thereof) affecting the Property, without the
prior written consent of Buyer in Buyer's discretion.

storm and sanitary sewage facilities, telephone, gas electricity, fire
protection, and similar services which are necessary or desirable for the
current use, occupancy and operation of the Property, and adequate means of
ingress and egress to and from public streets. Seller has no reason to believe
that any such utilities, other services, or access will not continue to be
available in their present forms and amounts after the Closing, without expense
to Buyer other than normal and usual security deposits.
(j) No work or labor has been performed or is in progress, and no
materials or supplies have been furnished, to or for the Property or Seller,
which have not been paid for in full by Seller, nor shall any such matters occur
prior to the Closing which shall not be paid for in full by Seller promptly and
in no event later than February 13, 1998.

under the laws of the State of California. Seller has the legal power, right and
authority to enter into this Agreement. The individuals executing this Agreement
on behalf of Seller hereby represent and warrant that they have the power, right
and authority to bind Seller without further consents or approvals of any kind.
All requisite partnership action has been taken by Seller and all requisite
consents have been obtained by Seller in connection with this Agreement.
(l) This Agreement is duly executed by Seller and is valid and legally
binding and enforceable upon Seller. Neither the execution nor performance of
this Agreement shall result in a breach or default under any agreement,
document, instrument, or other obligation to which Seller is a party or by which
Seller may be bound, or under any law, statute, ordinance, rule, governmental
regulation or any writ, injunction, order or decree of any court or governmental
body, applicable to Seller or the Property.
(m) All documents, contracts, agreements, materials, similar items, and
information of any kind submitted or to be submitted by Seller to Buyer in
connection with this Agreement
21
and the Property are true, correct and complete in all material respects. The
representations and warrants by Seller contained herein are true, correct and
complete on the date hereof and do not misstate or omit any fact necessary to
make such statement complete and not misleading. At all times prior to and
including the Closing, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of any fact,
development or information which might make any representation, warranty or
covenant contained herein, or any items provided by Seller, false, misleading,
inaccurate or incomplete in any respect. Upon the occurrence of the foregoing,
or upon any material change in any of the matters described herein which are
subject to Xxxxx's approval. Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove
any such information and changes within ten (10) business days after Xxxxx's
receipt of written notification thereof, and Buyer may at Buyer's option (i)
waive the breach that would be caused by such information or change, (ii) agree
with Seller to adjust the terms of this Agreement to compensate Buyer for such
information or change, or (iii) terminate this Agreement without prejudice to
any further legal or equitable rights or remedies Buyer may have against Seller
or the Property. Xxxxx's failure to notify Seller in writing, within such ten
business day period of Xxxxx's disapproval of such matters shall be deemed
Buyer's approval thereof, subject to the survival and continuing effectiveness
of Seller's representations, warranties and covenants contained in this
Agreement.
14.1 Buyer's Entry. In no event, however, shall Buyer be liable or responsible
for any preexisting conditions or matters of which Buyer may learn by reason of
any such entries, inspections or tests, regardless of any effect which such
matters may have upon Seller's obligations to report and/or respond to such
conditions or matters thereafter.

identified in Section 2.2 of the Agreement to issue a current

underlying documents referenced therein. Seller shall also
immediately deliver the July 30, 1996 title report and related
