The items described in (a) through (g) of this Article I are referred to in this Agreement collectively as the "Property."

II. CONSIDERATION

    2.1   Purchase Price. The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for the sale and conveyance of the Property shall be Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the "Purchase Price").

No later than 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Escrow Deposit Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser (i) all Phase I environmental reports, if any, in the possession of Seller, and (ii) a list of all contracts affecting the Property which contracts are not terminable on thirty (30)-days' notice without breach, if any (the "Initial Documents"). If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement on or before the second (2nd) business day after the Escrow Deposit Date (the "Initial Inspection Termination Date") by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller and the Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Initial Inspection Termination Date, the First Initial Payment shall become unconditionally payable to Seller at 5:01 p.m. (Irvine, California time), on the Initial Inspection Termination Date, in consideration for Seller's execution of this Agreement and the granting to Purchaser of the first fifteen (15) days of the Inspection Period (as defined in Section 5.1), and within one (1) business day thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of the First Initial Payment to Seller, and no portion of the First Initial Payment shall be refundable to Purchaser under any circumstances other than as expressly provided for in Section 9.4(b). The remaining deposit in the amount of Two Hundred Eighty Thousand Dollars ($280,000) shall be referred to in this Agreement as the "Second Initial Payment". (The First Initial Payment and the Second Initial Payment made by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 2.3(a) are collectively referred to as the "Initial Payment"). If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement on or before the fifteenth (15th) day following the Effective Date (the "Escrow Continuation Date") by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller and the Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Escrow Continuation Date, the Second Initial Payment shall become unconditionally payable to Seller at 5:01 p.m. (Irvine, California time), on the Escrow Continuation Date, in consideration for Seller's execution of this Agreement and the granting to Purchaser of the second fifteen (15) days of the Inspection Period, and within one (1) business day thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of the Second Initial Payment to Seller, and no portion of the Second Initial Payment shall be refundable to Purchaser under any circumstances other than as expressly provided for in Section 9.4(b). If Purchaser terminates this Escrow on or before the Escrow Continuation Date, as provided in this Section 2.3(a), then the provisions of Section 9.4(a) shall apply. On or before 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Escrow Continuation Date, Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow the sum of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) (together with all interest accrued thereon in Escrow, the "Deposit"). If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement on or before the Risk Date (as defined in Section 5.1) by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller and the Escrow Agent on or before 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Risk Date, the Deposit shall become unconditionally payable to Seller at 5:01 p.m. (Irvine, California time), on the Risk Date, and within one (1) business day thereafter, the Escrow Agent shall pay the amount of the Deposit to Seller.

The Deposit shall be paid to and retained by Seller pursuant


 
  3  
 
 

to this Section 2.3(a) in consideration for Seller providing to Purchaser the right to elect to purchase the Real Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and no portion of the Deposit shall be refundable to Purchaser except in the relevant circumstances expressly provided for in Sections 9.4(a) or 9.4(b). Any interest earned on the Deposit and the Initial Payment while held by Seller shall be for the benefit of Seller and under no circumstances shall be payable to, or for the benefit of, Purchaser.

(b)   The Escrow Agent shall deposit the Initial Payment and the Deposit into an interest-bearing money market account maintained at a federally insured bank located in Orange County, California, satisfactory to Seller and Purchaser. Such account shall have no penalty for early withdrawal, and Purchaser accepts all risks with regard to the account, specifically including the risk of closure of such bank by state or federal regulators, and all losses occasioned thereby. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, the Initial Payment and the Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price at the Closing and, if not previously released by Escrow, paid to Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not so consummated, the Initial Payment and the Deposit shall be delivered by the Escrow Agent as provided in Section 9.4. All interest which constitutes a portion of the Initial Payment or the Deposit while held by Escrow shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service as income of the party receiving such interest under this Agreement. Each party shall promptly execute all forms reasonably requested by the Escrow Agent, including, without limitation, Form W-9 and any necessary investment direction letters.

III. SURVEY

Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on or before three (3) business days after the Escrow Deposit Date (and in determining such three (3)-day period, the Escrow Deposit Date shall not be counted) a copy of the most recent survey of the Real Property dated   (the "Survey"), certified to Purchaser and the Escrow Agent in accordance with the form of certification attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof, qualifying as an ALTA certified completion survey acceptable to the Title Company (defined below).

IV. TITLE

4.1   Title Report. On or before three (3) business days after the Escrow Deposit Date (and in determining such three (3)-day period, the Escrow Deposit Date shall not be counted), Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a copy of a preliminary title report (the "Title Report") dated April 22, 2004, issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company (the "Title Company"), and relating to the Real Property, and a copy of the instruments listed in the Title Report as exceptions to the title of the Real Property (the "Underlying Documents").


 
  4  
 
 

4.2   Title Objection.

(a)   As used in this Agreement, the term "Title Objection Period" shall mean a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the date that is ten (10) calendar days after the Effective Date (and in determining such ten (10)-day period, the Effective Date shall not be counted). Purchaser may object to any matter shown on the Survey or any of the exceptions listed in the Title Report by delivery of a written notice ("Purchaser's Title Notice") to Seller prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period; provided, however, Purchaser may not object to the following:
 
                (i)    the REA, which Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved;
 
                (ii)    the Development Agreement (defined below in Section 7.2(b)), which Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved;
 
                (iii)    the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restriction, Option to Purchase and Right of First Refusal (the "CCRs") dated as of November 25, 2002, by and between the Seller and certain other owners at Park Place on the one hand and Irvine Residential Highrise LLC, a Delaware limited liability company on the other hand, and recorded November 27, 2002 in the Official Records, County of Orange, as Instrument No. 2002001079917, which Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved;
 
                (iv)    the Agreement Regarding Satisfaction of Development Obligations (the "ARSDO") dated as of November 25, 2002, by and between the Seller and certain other owners at Park Place on the one hand and Irvine Residential Highrise LLC, a Delaware limited liability company on the other hand, and recorded November 27, 2002 in the Official Records, County of Orange, as Instrument No. 2002001079916, which Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved; or
 
                (v)    the lien for general and special taxes and assessments, and a lien for supplemental taxes, if any, assessed pursuant to Chapter 3.5, commencing with Section 75, of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, which are not yet delinquent, which Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved.

Purchaser's Title Notice shall specify the matters shown on the Survey or the exceptions listed in the Title Report to which Purchaser objects (such matters and exceptions being herein referred to as "Purchaser's Title Objections"). If Purchaser fails to deliver Purchaser's Title Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period, all of the matters shown on the Survey and all of the exceptions listed in the Title Report shall be conclusively deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser. If Purchaser delivers Purchaser's Title Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period, all


 
  5  
 
 

of the matters shown on the Survey and all of the exceptions listed in the Title Report other than Purchaser's Title Objections shall be conclusively deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser. All of the matters shown on the Survey and all of the exceptions listed in the Title Report which are deemed to be acceptable to Purchaser under this Section 4.2(a) are referred to collectively as the "Approved Title Exceptions."
 
            (b)    If Purchaser delivers Purchaser's Title Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Title Objection Period, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove or otherwise satisfy any of Purchaser's Title Objections. Notwithstanding what is stated in the preceding sentence and regardless of whether Purchaser delivers a Purchaser's Title Notice, Seller shall remove or otherwise satisfy prior to the Closing Date all of exceptions listed in the Title Report which (i) are monetary liens created by Seller, (ii) are real estate tax liens for the property tax year which commenced on July 1, 2003 and ended on June 30, 2004 and prior property tax years, or (iii) are mechanic's liens (items (i) through (iii) being collectively referred to as "Seller's Mandatory Cure Obligations"). Within four (4) calendar days after delivery of Purchaser's Title Notice, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a written notice ("Seller's Title Notice") indicating (i) all of Purchaser's Title Objections which are not Seller's Mandatory Cure Obligations and which Seller shall attempt to cure prior to the Risk Date ("Seller's Optional Cure Title Objections"), and (ii) all of Purchaser's Title Objections which are not Seller's Mandatory Cure Obligations and which Seller is unable or unwilling to cure prior to the Risk Date ("Seller's Uncured Title Objections"). If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller's Title Notice to Purchaser, all of Purchaser's Title Objections which are not Seller's Mandatory Cure Obligations shall be deemed to be Seller's Uncured Title Objections.
 
            (c)    If Seller's Title Notice shall specify, or if pursuant to Section 4.2(b) above there are deemed to be, any Seller's Uncured Title Objections, then Purchaser may, on or before the Escrow Continuation Date (i) accept title to the Property subject to Seller's Uncured Title Objections without any reduction in the Purchase Price and without any other liability on the part of Seller, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller on or before the Escrow Continuation Date. Upon such termination, the provisions of Sections 9.4(a) and 9.3 shall be applicable. If Purchaser shall fail to timely deliver a notice to Seller on or before the Escrow Continuation Date objecting to one or more of Seller's Uncured Title Objections and terminating this Agreement as permitted by this Section 4.2(c), Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have approved all of Seller's Uncured Title Objections at 5:01 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Escrow Continuation Date.
 
            (d)    If any of Seller's Optional Cure Title Objections remain uncured on the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Risk Date, then Purchaser may (i) accept title to the Property subject to Seller's Optional Cure Title Objections without any reduction in the Purchase Price and without any other liability on the part of Seller, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering a written notice of termination to Seller on or before the Risk Date.


 
  6  
 
 

Upon such termination, the provisions of Sections 9.4(b) and 9.3 shall be applicable. If Purchaser shall fail to timely deliver a notice to Seller on or before the Risk Date objecting to any of Seller's Optional Cure Title Objections which remain uncured on the Risk Date and terminating this Agreement as permitted by this Section 4.2(d), Purchaser shall be conclusively deemed to have approved all of Seller's Optional Cure Title Objections at 5:01 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the Risk Date.

(e)   As used in this Agreement, the term "Permitted Exceptions" shall mean (i) all of the Approved Title Exceptions, (ii) any Purchaser's Title Objection which is included in Seller's Uncured Title Objections and which Purchaser has approved in writing or is deemed to have approved as provided in Section 4.2(c), and (iii) any Purchaser's Title Objection which is included in Seller's Optional Cure Title Objections and which Purchaser has approved in writing or is deemed to have approved as provided in Section 4.2(d).

4.3   Title Insurance. At the Closing, Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser, a CLTA Standard Form Owner Policy of Title Insurance with such endorsements as Purchaser may request (collectively referred to as the "Endorsements") (such title policy and the Endorsements being referred to collectively as the "Title Policy"), issued by the Title Company, in the amount of the Purchase Price, and insuring that good and marketable of record title to the Land and the Improvements are vested in Purchaser subject to no exceptions other than (a) the Permitted Exceptions; (b) liens placed on the Land and the Improvements in connection with Purchaser's financing of its purchase of the Property; and (c) standard printed exceptions and other common exceptions generally included in a CLTA Form Standard Coverage Owner Policy of Title Insurance. The base premium for the Title Policy shall be paid by Seller. The cost of including the Endorsements in the Title Policy shall be paid by Purchaser. Purchaser may elect, at its sole cost, to obtain an ALTA Policy of Title Insurance (the "ALTA Policy"); provided, however, that it shall not be a condition of Closing that Purchaser is able to obtain the ALTA Policy, nor shall the Closing be delayed or extended for the purpose of Purchaser obtaining the ALTA Policy.

V. INSPECTION

5.1   Inspection Period. Subject to the provisions of this Article V (including, but not limited to, Section 5.3) and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, Seller shall permit Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives the right to enter upon the Real Property during the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday to inspect the Property and conduct such tests as Purchaser deems necessary. Such entry and inspections may be conducted during a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Irvine, California time) on the date that is thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date (and in determining such thirty (30)-day period, the Effective Date shall not be counted) (such period is referred to as the "Inspection Period," and the expiration date for the Inspection Period is referred to as the "Risk Date").


 
  7  
 
 

Purchaser shall coordinate in a reasonable manner with Seller concerning any such inspections and tests; and Purchaser shall have access to, and be entitled to enter upon, the Real Property, only after having given one (1) business day's prior notice of any such entry to Seller. Purchaser shall bear the cost of all inspections and tests. At Seller's option, one or more representatives of Seller may be present for any inspection or test.

5.2   Document Review.

(a)   Seller shall deliver to Purchaser on or before three (3) business days after the Escrow Deposit Date (and in determining such three (3)-day period, the Escrow Deposit Date shall not be counted) the following documents:
 
                (i)    The Survey, the Title Report and the Underlying Documents; and
 
                (ii)    The items listed in Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof (the documents referred to in this Section 5.2(a)(ii) are referred to collectively as the "Preliminary Inspection Documents").

During the Inspection Period, Seller shall also make available such other documents relating to the Property as Purchaser may reasonably request in writing to the extent the same are in Seller's possession or control (the "Supplemental Inspection Documents") (the Preliminary Inspection Documents and the Supplemental Inspection Documents being referred to collectively as the "Due Diligence Documents"). However, in no event shall Purchaser have the right to inspect or make copies of any appraisals of the Property, any documents in Seller's possession involving either Seller's acquisition of the Property, any internal budgets or projections with respect to the Property, any offers from prospective purchasers of the Property, or any other documents or other materials which Seller determines to be proprietary or confidential to Seller.

(b)   Purchaser acknowledges that all of the non-public Due Diligence Documents are proprietary or confidential in nature, and all of the Due Diligence Documents shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. Purchaser agrees not to disclose the contents of the Due Diligence Documents, or any of the provisions or terms thereof or conditions thereto, to any party outside of Purchaser's organization other than its attorneys, accountants, lenders, investors, advisors, consultants, contractors or agents (collectively, the "Permitted Outside Parties" and individually a "Permitted Outside Party"), or as otherwise required by law; provided, however, such prohibition shall not apply to the contents of Due Diligence Documents which become available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by or through Purchaser or any Permitted Outside Party. Purchaser further agrees that within its organization, or as to the Permitted Outside Parties, the Due Diligence Documents shall be disclosed and exhibited only to those persons within Purchaser's organization or to those Permitted Outside Parties who are


 
  8  
 
 

responsible for, or who are assisting in, the determination of the feasibility of Purchaser's acquisition of the Property and who have agreed in writing to preserve the confidentiality of such information as required herein. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Due Diligence Documents and other information relating to the leasing arrangements between Seller and the Tenants or prospective tenants are proprietary or confidential in nature. Purchaser agrees not to divulge the contents of the Due Diligence Documents and other information except in strict accordance with the confidentiality standards set forth in this Section 5.2(b). Purchaser shall indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any liability Seller may suffer or incur as a result of the disclosure by persons within Purchaser's organization or the Permitted Outside Parties of the contents of the Due Diligence Documents or of the results of any inspections conducted by Purchaser, any persons within Purchaser's organization or any of the Permitted Outside Parties in accordance with this Article V, to the extent that such disclosure, if made by Purchaser rather than such persons within Purchaser's organization or any Permitted Outside Parties, would constitute a breach of or default under this Article V. In permitting the Permitted Outside Parties to review the Due Diligence Documents or information to assist Purchaser, Seller has not waived any privilege or claim of confidentiality with respect thereto, and no third party benefits or relationships of any kind, either express or implied, have been offered, intended or created by Seller and any such claims are expressly rejected by Seller and waived by Purchaser and the Permitted Outside Parties, for whom, by its execution of this Agreement, Purchaser is acting as an agent with regard to such waiver. This Section 5.2(b) shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
 
            (c)    Purchaser shall return all copies of the Due Diligence Documents that Purchaser has received from Seller, and shall destroy (and, if requested by Seller, such destruction shall be certified to in writing by Purchaser to Seller) all documents, memoranda, notes and other writings (including computer disks) prepared by Purchaser or any of the representatives or agents of Purchaser as a result of the review of, or based upon, the Due Diligence Documents, on the first to occur of (i) such time as Purchaser determines that it shall not acquire the Property, or (ii) such time as this Agreement is terminated for any reason. This Section 5.2(c) shall terminate upon the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
 
            (d)    Purchaser acknowledges that some of the Initial Documents and/or the Due Diligence Documents may have been prepared by third parties and may have been prepared prior to Seller's ownership of the Property. Purchaser hereby acknowledges that Seller has not made and does not make any representation or warranty regarding the truth, accuracy or completeness of any of the Initial Documents and/or the Due Diligence Documents or the sources thereof, whether prepared by Seller or third parties.
