applicable meters as of the Close of Escrow, such expenses shall be reasonably
estimated as of the Close of Escrow on the basis of the prior operating history

upon a schedule of expenses and prorations ("PRORATION AND EXPENSE SCHEDULE").
If any prorations, apportionments or computations made under this PARAGRAPH 11

13.4 SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS REGARDING CERTAIN RECOMMENDATIONS OF
-14-
15
ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT. Attached hereto as EXHIBIT G are certain specific
recommended tasks (the "Recommended Tasks") made by URS Corporation in
connection with its Phase I Environmental Site Assessment dated May 31, 2001.
Seller agrees, at its expense, to engage either URS Corporation or a reputable
environmental consultant approved by Buyer (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed) to perform the Recommended Tasks and any
further recommendations of the consultant which may derive therefrom in
accordance with applicable laws and commercially reasonable and prudent industry
practices taking into account the industrial use of the site, but only to the
extent that such further recommended work (a) is required by governmental
agencies having competent jurisdiction ("Jurisdictional Agency") or as a result
of the consultant's reasonable and prudent determination that health risks
and/or adverse environmental impacts may result from the condition in question
unless such recommended action is taken, (b) specifically arises from the
Recommended Tasks, (c) is not in any manner resulting from an off-site source
nor from the acts of Buyer, its agents, members, employees, contractors,
partners or representatives (collectively, "Buyer Parties"), and (d) pertains to
an environmental condition first created during Seller's period of ownership of
the Property. Seller shall endeavor to complete the Recommended Tasks in an
expeditious manner, and in any event shall commence such Recommended Tasks
promptly following the Close of Escrow and diligently pursue such work to
completion. The Recommended Tasks shall be deemed completed when the consultant
indicates to Buyer and Seller in a written certification which may be relied
upon by both parties that no further action is recommended with respect to all
Recommended Tasks based on the foregoing standards. Subject to the rights of
tenants in possession and Seller's agreement to minimize interference with such
tenants and to coordinate any work at the Property with Buyer, Buyer shall
provide Seller and its agents and contractors with regular and continuous access
to the Property following the Closing in order to permit Seller to perform the
Recommended Tasks and any other actions that Seller reasonably deems necessary
in connection therewith. In connection with Seller's performance of the
Recommended Tasks, Seller shall report environmental conditions to governmental
agencies to the extent required by applicable law. If either (i) required by
governmental agencies having competent jurisdiction ("Jurisdictional Agency"),
or (ii) required pursuant to a health risk based assessment of the Property (the
"Risk Assessment") certified to both Seller and Buyer performed by a reputable
consultant, Seller shall comply with orders and directives of such
Jurisdictional Agency or as set forth in the governmental agencies, but only to
the extent (a) required by such Jurisdictional Agency, (b) specifically arising
from the Recommended Tasks, (c) not in any manner resulting from an off-site
source nor from the acts of Buyer, its agents, members, employees, contractors,
partners or representatives (collectively, "Buyer Parties"), and (d) that it
pertains to an environmental condition first created during Seller's period of
ownership of the Property. If Seller shall fail to complete the Recommended
Tasks within six (6) months following the Closing (subject to extension of such
six (6) month period so long as Seller is diligently pursuing such work to
completion), Buyer shall have the right to cause the Recommended Tasks to be
completed at Seller's expense and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all actual,
documented and reasonable costs incurred by Buyer in completing the Recommended
Tasks. The provisions of this PARAGRAPH 13.4 shall survive the Closing.
13.5 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS EXCLUDED FROM RELEASE. Seller
acknowledges and agrees that the provisions of PARAGRAPH 13.3 shall not release
Seller from
-15-
16
liability for any loss, costs, expenses or liabilities Buyer may suffer or
incur, nor preclude Buyer from bringing an action against Seller to compel
Seller to remediate or take other necessary action with respect to environmental
conditions first created during Seller's period of ownership of the Property,
but only if all of the following conditions are satisfied: (a) a Jurisdictional
Agency has imposed an order or directive requiring certain action with respect
to such environmental condition; (b) the environmental condition did not in any
manner result from the acts of any of Buyer's Parties nor did it emanate from an
off-site source; and (c) the environmental condition was first created during
Seller's period of ownership. If any tenants of the Property have responsibility
for any of the matters described in PARAGRAPHS 13.4 OR 13.5, Buyer hereby agrees
that Seller shall be entitled to pursue such tenant(s) including, without
limitation, the prosecution of an action against such tenant(s) whether pursuant
to the terms of that particular tenant's lease or otherwise, provided Seller
shall notify Buyer prior to pursuing recovery from any tenant(s) and shall keep
Buyer apprised of Seller's actions in such regard, including providing to Buyer
copies of all correspondence, notices, demands, complaints, reports and the like
delivered to or received from any tenant(s). Buyer hereby agrees to cooperate in
Seller's efforts to enforce any such obligations or liabilities of the tenants,
and Buyer further agrees that Seller shall retain on a non-exclusive basis such
rights under the particular tenant lease (notwithstanding any assignment of the
lease) as may be necessary to enable Seller to maintain standing and the rights
of the landlord under such lease against such tenant(s) with respect to recovery
from such tenants for such environmental matters only.
14. DUE DILIGENCE.
14.1 RIGHT OF ENTRY. Provided that Buyer is not in default of its
obligations under this Agreement from and after the Opening of Escrow through
the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Buyer, its
agents, consultants, contractors and subcontractors shall have the right to
enter upon the Property to conduct or make any and all non-intrusive and
non-invasive inspections and tests as may be necessary or desirable, subject to
the rights of any tenants or occupants of the Property and the limitations set
forth below in this PARAGRAPH 14. The scope of any analysis which requires
physical sampling of all or any part of the Property shall be subject to: (a)
the prior approval of Seller, which Seller may withhold or condition in its sole
discretion, (b) Seller's receipt of written evidence that Buyer has procured the
insurance required pursuant to this PARAGRAPH 14, and (c) the requirement that
Buyer dispose of all such test samples in accordance with applicable law and at
no cost or liability to Seller. Nothing herein shall authorize any subsurface
testing or drilling on the Property by Buyer or its environmental consultant
unless specifically approved in writing by Seller, which Seller may condition or
deny in its sole discretion. Buyer shall obtain or cause its consultants to
obtain (and shall provide evidence to Seller of same), at Buyer's sole cost and
expense, prior to commencement of any investigative activities on the Property,
a policy of commercial general liability insurance covering any and all
liability of Buyer and Seller with respect to or arising out of any
investigative activities. Such policy of insurance shall name Seller as an
additional insured and shall be kept and maintained in force during the term of
this Agreement and so long thereafter as necessary to cover any claims of
damages suffered by persons or property resulting from any acts or omissions of
Buyer, Buyer's employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, consultants or other
related parties. Such policy of insurance shall have liability limits of not
less
-16-
17
than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence
for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability.
Buyer hereby agrees to require any and all of its vendors (a) to
include a provision in its report or study that entitles Seller and its designee
to rely upon such report, and (b) to provide to Seller, concurrently with the
delivery to Buyer, a true and complete copy of all tests, reports, studies and
the like generated by such vendor in connection with Buyer's inspection of the
Property. Furthermore, Buyer shall promptly, upon its receipt thereof, deliver
to Seller a copy of all tests, reports, analysis and the like, excluding
financial analysis, obtained and/or prepared pursuant to the provisions of this
PARAGRAPH 14. Buyer shall keep all documents and information received from
Seller and/or its agents and the results of all of its inspections, studies,
investigations, analysis, reports and the like confidential except as required
by law and except for disclosures made to Buyer's agents, consultants and
employees. Buyer hereby indemnifies, defends and holds the Property, Seller and
their respective officers, directors, shareholders, participants, affiliates,
employers, representatives, invitees, agents and contractors free and harmless
from and against any and all claims, costs, losses, damages or expenses arising
out of or resulting from such entry by Buyer, its agents, consultants,
contractors and subcontractors. Furthermore, Buyer hereby agrees not to contact
any governmental agencies with respect to the Property without Seller's prior
written consent, which Seller may withhold or condition in its sole discretion.
Buyer shall keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics' liens or
materialmen's liens related to Buyer's right of inspection and the activities
contemplated in this PARAGRAPH 14. All of Buyer's obligations set forth in this
PARAGRAPH 14 shall survive the Close of Escrow and shall not be merged with the
Deed, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Escrow prior to
the Close of Escrow, and shall not be limited by any provision of this
Agreement.
14.2 INQUIRIES. From and after the Execution Date until the Closing
Date or the earlier termination of this Agreement and provided that Buyer is not
in default of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to make inquiries to
the Seller's property manager. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement to the contrary, any information or disclosures made by Seller's
property manager and delivered to Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this
PARAGRAPH 14.2 shall automatically modify the applicable terms of Seller's
representations and warranties in this Agreement to the extent that such
disclosures indicate that Seller's representations and warranties are inaccurate
in any respect and without creating any liability for Seller whatsoever;
provided, however, that in no event shall any written or oral statement of
Seller's property manager expand the scope of Seller's representations and
warranties contained herein.

15. ENFORCEMENT AND LEGAL FEES.
15.1 BUYER'S DEFAULT. IF BUYER FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE
PROPERTY AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF BUYER, SELLER
MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RECEIVE OR RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES AND SHALL BE RELEASED FROM ITS OBLIGATION TO SELL THE PROPERTY TO BUYER.
BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO
ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT BUYER DEFAULTS
HEREUNDER AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY AS HEREIN PROVIDED.
BUYER AND SELLER THEREFORE AGREE THAT A REASONABLE PRESENT ESTIMATE OF THE NET
DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER'S DEFAULT OR BREACH
HEREUNDER IS AN AMOUNT OF MONEY EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT WHICH SHALL BE THE FULL,
AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH
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. THE FOREGOING SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER'S REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO
BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ITS INDEMNIFICATION
OBLIGATIONS) UNDER PARAGRAPHS 14 AND 17 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ATTORNEYS'
FEES PROVISION SET FORTH IN PARAGRAPH 18 BELOW.

Buyer does not timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this
Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this
Agreement. If Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected not to terminate this
Agreement, the parties shall proceed to the Closing Date without a reduction in

obligation to the other hereunder. If Buyer does not timely notify Seller in
writing of its election to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to
have elected not to terminate this Agreement. For purposes hereof, the term
"material" shall be deemed to be a damage or destruction in excess of ten
percent (10%) of the Purchase Price. If less than a material portion of the
Property is damaged or destroyed or if a material portion is damaged or
destroyed and
-20-
21
Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement, the

agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have consented thereto). Seller shall not
accept from any of the tenants payment of rent more than one month in advance.
22. MISCELLANEOUS.
22.1 NOT AN OFFER. Seller's delivery of unsigned copies of this
Agreement is solely for the purpose of review by the party to whom delivered,

buyer.
