THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH
6.11 SHALL BE SELLER'S SOLE REMEDY IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER, IN LIEU

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER
8.1. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER. Buyer hereby represents
and warrants to Seller as follows: Buyer is a corporation duly organized under
the laws of the State of New York; except for the Buyer Approval, this Agreement
and all documents executed by Buyer which are to be delivered to Seller at the
Closing are and as of the Closing Date will be duly authorized, executed and
delivered by Buyer, and are and as of the Closing Date will be legal, valid and
binding obligations of Buyer, and do not and as of the Closing Date will not
violate any provisions of any agreement or judicial order to which Buyer is a
party or to which it is subject.
8.2. NO ADDITIONAL WARRANTIES. Buyer agrees that, except for those
representations and warranties specifically made by Seller in this Agreement, it
is purchasing the Property solely in reliance on its own investigation and that
no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever, express or implied,
have been made by Seller or any of Seller's agents.
ARTICLE IX
DELIVERY OF PROPERTY
9.1. POSSESSION. Possession of the Property shall be delivered to
Buyer on the Closing Date subject only to the rights of Space Tenants pursuant
to the Leases. Without limiting any other provisions of this Agreement, Seller
shall afford authorized representatives of Buyer reasonable access to the
Property for the purposes of determining Seller's compliance herewith; however,
in no event shall such right give rise to any obligation of Buyer to determine
compliance or noncompliance.
9.2. LOSS, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION.
(a) DEFINITION OF MATERIAL DAMAGE. For the purposes of this
Section 9.2, damage to the Property is material if the actual cost of repairing
or replacing the damaged portions of the Improvements on the Property exceeds
$100,000, or if it would take more than forty-five (45) days to perform such
repair or replacement using reasonably diligent efforts.
(b) EFFECT OF NON-MATERIAL DAMAGE TO IMPROVEMENTS. If prior to
the Closing the Improvements on the Property are non-materially damaged by
casualty (i) this Agreement may not be terminated by reason of such casualty
(provided that this does not waive Buyer's other termination rights under this
Agreement) and (ii) Seller will, at Buyer's option, either (a) cause the damaged
portion of the Improvements to be repaired at Seller's sole cost and expense or
(b) reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the actual, reasonable and
necessary cost of repairing or replacing the damaged portions of the
Improvements. Seller will notify Buyer within one (1) day of Seller's receipt
of knowledge of any casualty which occurs in between the date of this Agreement
and the Closing Date.
(c) EFFECT OF MATERIAL DAMAGE TO IMPROVEMENTS. If prior to the
Closing the Improvements are materially damaged by casualty, Seller shall notify
Buyer in writing of such casualty as soon as practicable. Within ten (10) days
after the occurrence of such casualty or receipt of applicable insurance
34
proceeds whichever is later, Seller will commence restoration of the damaged
Improvements, and shall complete such restorations promptly thereafter, and the
Closing Date shall, if necessary be extended until such damaged improvements are
complete; provided, however, that no such restoration shall be required unless
the same is fully covered by a policy of insurance maintained by Seller and
provided, however, that such Improvements must be completed by no later than,
and the extended Closing Date may not be extended to a date later than, the
earlier to occur of (i) a date which reasonably allows the Completion of the
damaged Improvements, and (ii) February 24, 1997. If Seller does not commence
or complete such restoration within such time period, then Buyer may elect
within the next thirty (30) days pursuant to a writing delivered to Seller and
Escrow Holder to (i) continue this Agreement, in which case Seller shall assign
to Buyer at the Closing any insurance proceeds to which Seller is entitled with
respect to such damage and Buyer shall further be entitled to deduct from the
Purchase Price the amount of any deductible payable by Seller under the
applicable casualty insurance policy plus the amount of any shortfall after the
application of casualty insurance proceeds to the restoration of the Property
(including loss of rents and any other costs incurred in restoration of the
Property); or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case Buyer and Seller
shall have no further rights and obligations to the Seller under this Agreement.
In the event that Buyer elections option (i), Buyer shall instruct the Escrow
Holder to retain in the Escrow from the Purchase Price the amount of the
shortfall that Buyer reasonably estimates may result after the application of
casualty insurance proceeds to the restoration of the Property and the Escrow
Holder shall disburse to Buyer all amounts actually expended by Buyer in the
restoration of the Premises after the application of insurance proceeds upon
Buyer's submission of certified receipts and invoices for such amounts. Buyer's
failure to have elected any of these options within the time allotted therefor
shall be deemed to be an election of option (ii).
(d) DEFINITION OF MATERIAL TAKING. For the purposes of this
Section 9.2, a taking or threatened taking by eminent domain or similar
proceedings shall be deemed material if the value of that portion of the
Property to be so taken exceeds $100,000, or if Buyer determines that the
Property so affected is materially adversely affected by such taking or
threatened taking.
(e) EFFECT OF NON-MATERIAL TAKING. If prior to the Closing
there is a non-material taking or threatened taking of a portion of the Property
(i) this Agreement may not be terminated and (ii) Seller will assign to Buyer at
the Closing all of Seller's rights in and to any condemnation award with respect
to such non-material taking, and there will be no reduction in the Purchase
Price. Seller will deliver written notice to Escrow Holder and Buyer within one
(1) day after Seller receives notice of or otherwise becomes aware of any taking
or threatened taking affecting the Property.
(f) EFFECT OF MATERIAL TAKING. If prior to the Closing there is
a material taking or threatened material taking of a portion of the Property or
all of it, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such taking or threatened
taking, and within ten (10) days after Buyer's receipt of such notice, Seller
and Buyer shall endeavor to agree upon whether the Property shall be purchased
by Buyer, whether there shall be any reduction in the Purchase Price, and
whether there shall be any assignment of any condemnation award with respect to
such taking. If within such ten (10) day period Buyer and Seller have not
reached a mutually acceptable agreement as to those matters, Buyer within thirty
(30) days thereafter may elect in writing to (i) continue this Agreement subject
to the taking or threatened taking with an assignment of all of Seller's rights
to condemnation awards, severance damages, payments-in-lieu thereof or the like;
or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which case
35
Buyer and Seller shall have no further rights or obligations to one another
under this Agreement. Buyer's failure to have elected any of these options
within the time period allotted therefor shall be deemed to be an election of
option (ii).
ARTICLE X

thereto, which may be granted or withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute
discretion. Buyer agrees that all commissions and costs of tenant improvements
incurred in connection with any lease entered into by Seller and approved by
Buyer pursuant to the previous sentence shall be amortized over the term of the
lease and pro-rated to Buyer and Seller at Closing.

Agreement and the Closing Date, mortgage, encumber or suffer to be encumbered
all or any portion of the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer.

of this Section 11.2 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination of this
Agreement.
11.3. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon,
and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns, except that Seller's interest under this Agreement may not be
assigned, encumbered or otherwise transferred whether voluntarily,
involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written
consent of the Buyer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer
may assign its rights and interests hereunder to any person or entity, including
without limitation any client of Buyer's real estate investment division and any
special account associated with Buyer.
11.4. AMENDMENTS. This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a
written instrument executed by the party asserted to be bound thereby. If this
Agreement or any of Buyer's rights hereunder are assigned or otherwise made
available in whole or in part to a person or entity (an "Assignee") as permitted
by Section 11.3, Seller agrees to amend this Agreement to make such changes

changes shall not affect the Purchase Price or other economic aspects of the
transaction contemplated hereby.
11.5. CONTINUATION AND SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES, REPRESENTATIONS,
WARRANTIES AND POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS. All indemnities, representations and
warranties by, and all of the post-closing obligations, if any, of, the
respective parties contained herein or made in writing pursuant to this
Agreement or any other instrument delivered by Seller pursuant hereto are

Closing and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the
delivery of the Deed and transfer
38

(3) years after Closing. All representations and warranties of Seller contained
in any certificate or other instrument delivered at any time by or on behalf of

representations and warranties hereunder.
11.6. INTERPRETATION. Whenever used herein, the term "including" shall

singular number shall include the plural, and vice-versa, and any gender shall

Articles and Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only,
and shall not be deemed to define or limit the provisions hereof.

in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
11.8. MERGER OF PRIOR AGREEMENTS. This Agreement (including the
exhibits hereto) constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with

and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous (whether oral or written)
agreements and understandings between the parties hereto relating to the
specific subject matter hereof.
11.9. ATTORNEYS' FEES. In the event of any action or proceeding at law
or in equity between Buyer and Seller (including an action or proceeding between
Buyer and the trustee or debtor in possession while Seller is a debtor in a

Seller hereunder, the unsuccessful party to such action or proceeding shall pay

reasonable attorneys' and paralegals' fees and expenses (including without

and/or collection of any judgment or other relief. The term "prevailing party"
shall include, without limitation, a party who obtains legal counsel or brings
an action against the other by reason of the other's breach or default and
obtains substantially the relief sought, whether by compromise, settlement or
judgment. If such prevailing party shall recover judgment in any such action,
proceeding or appeal, such costs, expenses and attorneys' and paralegals' and

deposit in this Escrow, (iii) return the Deposit to Buyer, and (iv) cancel this
Agreement.

irreparably damaged in the event that this Agreement is not
39
specifically enforced. Accordingly, in the event of any breach or default in or
of this Agreement or any of the warranties, terms or provisions hereof by
Seller, Buyer shall have, in addition to a claim for damages for such breach or
default, and in addition and without prejudice to any right or remedy available
at law or in equity, the right to demand and have specific performance of this
Agreement. Seller further acknowledges that Buyer is purchasing the Property as
part of the second step of a Section 1031 exchange under the Code and that in
the event of any breach or default in this Agreement, Buyer shall have, in
addition to a claim for damages for such breach or default, a specific claim for
all damages suffered by Buyer as a result of its inability to complete the 1031
exchange, which damages shall specifically include any tax liability resulting
from the failure to complete the 1031 exchange.

shall maintain this Agreement and the transaction contemplated hereby in strict
confidence and that no release, notice, or disclosure concerning the existence
or terms of this Agreement will be issued, given, or otherwise disseminated
without the other party's approval, provided that Buyer may make any disclosures
and announcements as required by applicable law.
11.18. PROHIBITION AGAINST CONSIDERATION OF OTHER PURCHASE PROPOSALS.
Until and unless this Agreement has been terminated by Buyer pursuant to Section
5.9 hereto, Seller shall not directly or indirectly solicit or initiate any
discussions or negotiations with or provide any information to or otherwise
cooperate in any way with, or facilitate or encourage any effort or attempt to,
or enter any agreement or understanding with any person or group of persons
concerning any sale, lease, exchange, mortgage, pledge, transfer or other
disposition of the Property in a single transaction or a series of related
transactions.

Agreement may be assigned by Buyer without Seller's consent, provided, however,
