approve or disapprove of any new Lease or any amendment
or termination of any existing Lease. Failure to
respond in writing within such time period shall be
deemed to be approval. Seller's execution of a new
Lease or modification or cancellation
13
of an existing Lease following Buyer's reasonable
refusal to approve same shall constitute a default
hereunder.
7.3.4. During the Due Diligence Period, not to amend or
terminate any existing Lease, or enter into any new
Lease, without providing Buyer (i) a Proposed Lease
Package and (ii) Seller's request for Buyer's approval,

Lease or enter into a new Lease at any time during the
Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have three (3)
business days following receipt of a request for any
approval pursuant to this paragraph in which to approve
or disapprove of any new Lease or any amendment or
termination of any existing Lease. Failure to respond
in writing within such time period shall be deemed to
be approval. Seller's execution of a new Lease or
modification or cancellation of an existing Lease
following Buyer's reasonable refusal to approve same
shall give Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement
as described below. If Buyer does not approve same or
is not deemed to have approved same, and if Seller
elects to amend or terminate a Lease or enter into a
new Lease notwithstanding Buyer's failure to approve
same, then Buyer may, at the xxxx Xxxxxx notifies Buyer
of the execution of any such amendment, termination or
new Lease, elect to terminate this Agreement and
receive a return of the Deposit by delivering written
notice thereof to Seller; provided that if Buyer does
not elect to terminate within five (5) days after such
notification from Seller, then Buyer shall have waived
its right to terminate pursuant to this Paragraph 7.3.4

9. Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow.
-------------------------------------------
9.1. Conditions Precedent.
--------------------
The obligations of Buyer to purchase the Property pursuant to
this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer, be subject to the
following conditions precedent:
9.1.1. All of the representations, warranties and agreements
of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the date hereof
and as of the Close of Escrow, and Seller shall not
have, on or prior to the Close of Escrow, failed to
meet, comply with or perform in any material respect
any covenants or agreements on Seller's part as
required by the terms of this Agreement.
9.1.2. There shall be no change in the matters reflected in
the Title Documents, and there shall not exist any
encumbrance or title defect affecting the Real Property
not described in the Title Documents except for the
Permitted Exceptions or matters to be satisfied at the
Close of Escrow.
9.1.3. Unless Seller receives notice from Buyer at least
thirty (30) days prior to the Close of Escrow,
effective as of the Close of Escrow, any management
agreement affecting the Real Property shall be
terminated by Seller and any and
17
all termination fees incurred as a result thereof shall
be the sole obligation of Seller.
9.1.4. No Major Tenant shall be in default under its lease nor
shall any Major Tenant have given notice to Seller that
it is discontinuing operations.
9.1.5. If Buyer's lender requires the execution of SNDA's from

9.1.6. Seller shall have delivered the Required Percentage
Estoppels and estoppel certificates from all of the

9.2. Effect of Failure.
-----------------
If Buyer notifies Seller of a failure to satisfy the conditions
precedent set forth in this Paragraph 9, Seller may, within five
(5) days after receipt of Buyer's notice, agree to satisfy the
condition by written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon
be obligated to close the transaction provided (a) Seller so
satisfies such condition and (b) no such right to cure shall
extend the Close of Escrow. If Seller fails to agree to cure or
fails to cure such condition by the Close of Escrow, this
Agreement shall be automatically terminated, the Deposit shall be
returned to Buyer without any further action required from either
party and neither party shall have any continuing obligations
hereunder; provided, however, if such failure constitutes a
breach or default of its covenants, representations or
warranties, Seller shall remain liable for such breach or default
as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
10. Damage or Destruction Prior to the Close of Escrow.
--------------------------------------------------
In the event that one or more buildings on the Real Property should be
damaged by any casualty prior to the Close of Escrow, then Seller shall
promptly provide Buyer with written notice of such casualty. If the cost of
repairing such damage, as estimated by an architect or contractor retained
pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties, is (a) less than One
Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for each building damaged, the Close
of Escrow shall proceed as scheduled and any insurance proceeds, plus the
cash amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer; or
(b) greater than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for any
building damaged, then Buyer may in its discretion either (i) elect to
terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to
Buyer without any further action required from either party and neither
party shall have any further obligation to the other, or (ii) proceed to
the Close of Escrow, in which event any insurance proceeds, plus the cash
amount of any associated deductible, shall be paid over to Buyer. The
foregoing notwithstanding, if any
18
casualty results in the cancellation of, or rental abatement under, any
Lease, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement without
regard to the cost of repairs. Any notice required to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this paragraph shall be delivered no later than
thirty (30) days following Buyer's receipt of Seller's notice of such
casualty.
11. Eminent Domain.
--------------
If, before the Close of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by
exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the
Real Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the
Real Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer's intended use,
Buyer shall have the right, by giving written notice to Seller within
thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such
proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this
Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to
Buyer without any further action required from either party, and neither
party shall have any continuing obligations hereunder. If, before the Close
of Escrow, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the
power of eminent domain of less than a material part of the Real Property,
or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the
preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Close of
Escrow, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right
to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking
shall be assigned, or paid to, Buyer. Seller shall give written notice to
Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller's receiving notice of the
commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of
eminent domain of all or any part of the Real Property.

--------
13.1. Defaults by Seller. If there is any default by Seller under this
------------------
Agreement, following notice to Seller and seven (7) days
thereafter, during which period Seller may cure the default,
Buyer may, at its option, either (a) declare this Agreement
terminated in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer
without any further action required from either party, Seller
shall reimburse Buyer for its due diligence costs (up to a
maximum of $15,000) and Buyer shall have no further claim against
Seller, or (b) treat the Agreement as being in full force and
effect and bring an action against Seller for specific
performance. The foregoing notwithstanding, no right to cure
shall extend the Close of Escrow.
13.2. Defaults by Buyer. Except as provided in Paragraph 2.1.2, if
-----------------
there is any default by Buyer under this Agreement, following
notice to Buyer and seven (7) days thereafter, during which
period Buyer may cure the default, Seller may, as its sole
remedy, declare this Agreement terminated, in which case the
Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages. Following
any termination because of a default by Buyer (including pursuant
to Paragraph 2.1.2), upon receipt by Seller of the Deposit, each
party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and
liabilities, except any which expressly survive termination. The
foregoing notwithstanding, no right to cure shall extend the
Close of Escrow.
14. Assignment.
----------
Buyer may assign any or all of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement to any one or more affiliates of Buyer upon notice to Seller;
provided, however, that absent the express agreement of Seller, no such
assignment shall release Buyer from its liabilities hereunder.
15. Interpretation and Applicable Law.
---------------------------------
This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of California. Where required for proper interpretation,
words in the singular shall include the plural; the masculine gender shall
include the neuter and the feminine, and vice versa. The terms "successors
and assigns" shall include the heirs, administrators, executors,
successors, and assigns, as applicable, of any party hereto.
16. Amendment.
---------
This Agreement may not be modified or amended, except by an agreement in
writing signed by the parties. The parties may waive any of the conditions
contained herein or any of the obligations of the other party hereunder,
but any such waiver shall be effective only if in writing and signed by the
party waiving such conditions and obligations.
21
17. Attorneys' Fees.
---------------
In the event it becomes necessary for either party to file a suit to
enforce this Agreement or any provisions contained herein, the prevailing
party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other remedies or
damages, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of court incurred in such
suit.
18. Entire Agreement; Survival.
--------------------------
This Agreement (and the items to be furnished in accordance herewith)
constitutes the entire agreement between the parties pertaining to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous
agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith. No
representation, warranty, covenant, agreement, or condition not expressed

or be effective to interpret, change, or restrict the provisions of this
Agreement. The obligations of the parties hereunder and all other
provisions of this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or earlier
termination of this Agreement, except as expressly limited herein.
19. Counterparts.
------------
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which
when taken together shall constitute the entire agreement of the parties.
20. Acceptance.
----------
Time is of the essence of this Agreement. If the final date of any period
falls upon a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under the laws of the State
of California, then in such event the expiration date of such period shall
be extended to the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal
holiday under the laws of the State of California.

-----------------------
21.1. Commission to Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. Seller shall pay
------------------------------------------------
a real estate brokerage commission of $580,000 to Triple Net
Properties Realty, Inc. if, but only if, the Close of Escrow
occurs pursuant to this Agreement. Such commission shall be
payable upon the Close of Escrow from the proceeds of the
Purchase Price deposited by Buyer.
21.2. Warranty and Indemnity. Seller and Buyer each represent and
----------------------
warrant to the other that neither Seller nor Buyer has contacted
or entered into any agreement with any real estate broker, agent,
finder or any other party in connection with this transaction,
and that neither party has taken any action which would result in
any real estate broker's, finder's or other fees or commissions
being due and payable to any party with respect to the
transaction contemplated hereby, except for the commission
payable to Triple Net Properties Realty, Inc. as provided in
Paragraph 21.1 and except that Seller has contracted with Xxxxxxx
& Wakefield as its broker
22
and will pay a commission to such broker under a separate agreement. Each
party hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from
any loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) resulting to the other party by reason of a breach of the
representation and warranty made by such party in this paragraph.

Instructions for Form 597-W
Withholding Exemption Certificate and Nonresident Waiver Request for Real Estate
Sales
References in these instructions are to the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) as of
January 1, 1998, and the California Revenue and taxation Code (R&TC)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
General Information
-------------------
Form 597-W, Withholding Exemption Certificate and Nonresident Waiver Request for
Real Estate Sales, replaces Form 590-RE, Withholding Exemption Certificate for
Real Estate Sales and Form 597-A, Nonresident Waiver Request for Real Estate
Sales.
Requirement to File a California Tax Return
A completed Form 597-W relieves the buyer of the requirement to withhold but
does not eliminate the requirement that the seller must file a California tax
return and pay the tax due.
Private Mailbox (PMB) Number
If you lease a mailbox from a private business rather than from the United
States Postal Service, enter your PMB number in the field labeled "PMB no."
Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN)
Tax preparers now have the option of using a unique identification number (PTIN)
instead of a social security number when signing tax returns.
A Purpose
When California real estate is sold by a nonresident, buyers are required by law
(R&TC Section 18662) to withhold 3 1/3% of the total sales price unless a
withholding exemption is met or the Franchise Tax Board (FTB) authorized a
waiver of reduction in the withholding amount.
.. Use Part I of Form 597-W to certify that you meet a withholding exemption
for the sale of California real estate, or;
.. Use Part II of Form 597-W to request a waiver or reduction of the required
withholding for the sale of California real estate.
B What is Real Estate Withholding?
Real Estate withholding:
.. Is a prepayment of the amount of income tax due from the gain on the sale
of California real estate;
.. Is not an additional tax on the sale of real estate;
..
.. Is primarily intended to ensure that the income tax owed on the taxable
gain from the sale will be paid;
.. Reduces the likelihood that the seller will be subject to penalties for
underpayment of estimated tax; and
.. Is similar to wage withholding. As with wage withholding, the amount
withheld is claimed as a credit against the income tax liability computed
at the end of the taxable year.
If the amount withheld is more than the income tax liability, the difference
will be refunded when a tax return is filed after the end of the taxable year.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
C Exemptions from Witholding (Part I)
The seller is exempt from the withholding requirements if they have answered
"Yes" to any of the questions in Part I. The completed Form 597-W should be
signed by the seller and given to the buyer or other withholding agent. The
buyer, or other withholding agent, should retain the form for five years
following the close of the transaction. The buyer, or other withholding agent,
will be relieved of the real estate withholding requirements if the buyer relies
in good faith on a completed and signed Form 597-W. A completed 597-W certifying
an exemption of withholding does not eliminate the requirement that the seller
must file a California income tax return and pay the tax due.
The seller should answer "Yes" in Part I when:
1 The total sales price of the California real property is $100,000.00 or
-----
less.
2 The seller is a California resident on the date escrow closes. A California
resident is any individual who is in California for other than a temporary
or transitory purpose or any individual domiciled in California who is
absent for a temporary or transitory purpose. Sellers who are uncertain of
their residency status can get assistance by calling the FTB at (800)
852-5711, or by getting FTB Pub 1031, Guidelines for Determining Resident
Status, for more information.
3. The property qualifies as the seller's principal residence under IRC
Section 121. The home in which you live is your principal residence. You
can only have one principal residence at a time. If you have two homes and
live in both of them, the principal residence is the one you lived in most
of the time. Even though you do not currently live in the property, it may
still qualify as your principal residence for the purpose of the
withholding exemption. An example is a former California resident who moved
out of state prior to the close of escrow. The property can qualify for the
withholding exemption if the seller still considers it to be the principal
residence, or if it qualifies for the exclusion of income under IRC Section
121. An individual can exclude up to $250,000.00 (up to $500,000 for a
married couple) of the gain on the sale of a principal residence. Sellers
can qualify for this exclusion if, during the 5-year period ending on the
date of the sale they owned and lived in the property as their principal
residence for at least 2 years. For examples and more details, get federal
Publication 523, Selling your Home, by accessing the Internal Revenue
Service's (IRS) website at xxx.xxx.xxx or by calling the IRS AT (800)
829-3676.
4. The seller is a corporation that is registered in California or has a
permanent place of business in California immediately after the transfer. A
corporation has a permanent place of business in California if it is
organized and existing under the laws of California or it is a foreign
corporation qualified to transact intrastate business by the California
Secretary of State's Office. A corporation that has not qualified to
transact intrastate business, such as a corporation engaged exclusively in
interstate commerce, will be considered as having a permanent place of
business in California only if it maintains a permanent office in
California and the office is permanently staffed by its employees.
5. The seller is a partnership of LLC and the recorded title to the property
is in the name of the partnership of LLC. A partnership includes a
syndicate, group pool, joint venture, or other unincorporated organization
through which business operation is carried on and which is not a
corporation, trust, or estate. A partnership of LLC may be required to
withhold on distributions of California course income to nonresident
partners or members. For more information, get FTB Pub 1017, Nonresident
Withholding - Partnership Guidelines.
6. The seller is exempt from tax under either California or federal law.
7. The seller is a California irrevocable trust. For withholding purposes, an
irrevocable trust is considered a California trust if at least one trustee
is a California resident. Irrevocable trusts are required to withhold on
distributions of California source income to their nonresident
beneficiaries. Note: If the seller is a irrevocable/grantor trust and one
or more of the grantors is a nonresident, withholding is required. If all
of the grantors of a revocable/grantor trust are residents of California,
no withholding is required.
8. The seller is a California estate. For withholding purposes, an estate is
considered a California estate if the decedent was a California resident at
the time of death. Estates are required to withhold on distributions of
California source income to their nonresident beneficiaries.
9. The seller is a bank or a bank acting as the fiduciary for a trust.
10. The seller is an insurance company or a federally qualified pension or
profit-sharing plan.
D Nonresident Withholding Waiver Request (Part II)
This section should be completed if you do not meet any of the exemptions to
withholding as shown in Part I and you believe that your estimated tax liability
from the sale will be less than the required withholding.
Waiver requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. Generally, the FTB will
reduce or eliminate the withholding amount when:
.. The 3 1/3% withholding amount exceeds the estimated California tax
liability from the sale; for example:
Selling Price $250,000.00
Withholding Rate x 3.33%
Witholding Amount $ 8,325.00
Gain on Sale $ 50,000.00
Maximum Tax Rate 9.3%
Estimated Tax Liability $ 4,650.00
* The maximum tax rates are 9.3% for individuals and 8.84% for
corporations.
In this example, the withholding amount would be reduced to $4,650. If the
documentation provided shows that the estimated tax liability will be $0 from
the sale, a full waiver will be granted.
.. The transaction involves an IRC Section 1031 exchange, a foreclosure, or an
installment sale; or
.. The transaction involves multiple sellers, some of whom are nonresidents of
California.
Note: The withholding amounts is 3 1/3% of the total sales price regardless of
the percentage of interest owned in the property.
To receive a prompt determination, include all required information and
documentation to support your request. Failure to include the required
information, signatures and documents can result in either a delay or denial of
your request. Below is a list of the minimum documentation required for the FTB
to make a determination. Do not send original documentation.
This is general guide. Additional information may be requested on a case-by-case
basis.
.. Loss of Small Gain
[ ] The current sales escrow document (estimated closing statement, sales
contract, or closing statement).

E When to File This Form
When requesting a waiver or reduction in withholding, the Form 597-W should be
completed and sent to the FTB as soon as you enter into a contract of sale.
The FTB will determine if the withholding should be eliminated, reduced or if
the request should be denied. The FTB usually processes applications within 45
days after receipt of all necessary information. If a response from the FTB has
not been received by the time title is transferred, the parties to the
transaction may direct the escrow person to hold funds for withholding in trust
up to 45 days from the date title is transferred.
If Form 597-W is not filed timely with the FTB and title passes to the
buyer/transferee before the application can be processed, withholding of 3 1/3%
of the total sales price is required. There is no provision to authorize an
early refund after title has passed to the buyer/transferee and the withholding
has been remitted to the FTB.
Any withholding waiver issued by the FTB applies only for the limited purpose of
determining the withholding obligation under R&TC Section 18662. The withholding
waiver would not apply for other issues that may arise in connection with the
transfer. The FTB may accept evidence submitted with a waiver request for the
purpose of issuing the withholding waiver; however, this evidence may not be
adequate for other issues related to the transfer.
If you receive a determination letter from the FTB reducing the amount of
withholding, you must enter confirmation number from the FTB determination
letter on Form 597, Nonresident Withholding Tax Statement for Real Estate Sales,
when payment is sent to the FTB. Payment must be sent with Form 597.
F Where to File This Form
If you meet one of the exemptions to withholding in Part I, the form should not
be sent to the FTB. The Form 597-W should be given to the buyer or escrow
company. Be sure to sign the form to certify that you meet the exemption.
If you are requesting a waiver or reduction in the withholding (and do not meet
one of the exemptions in Part I, the completed Form 597-W should be filed with
the FTB to request an authorized determination. Fax Form 597-W to (000) 000-0000
