         7.1 Taxes. Except with respect to Building 4 and the Land associated
             -----
therewith, there shall be no proration of ad valorem real estate taxes, general
and special real property assessments, personal property taxes, charges and
assessments ("Taxes") affecting the Property pursuant to this Agreement or under
the Leases. The Taxes on Building 4 and the Land associated therewith shall be
prorated on a per diem basis as of midnight of the Proration Date, disregarding
any discount or penalty and on the basis of the fiscal year of the authority
levying the same, which proration shall also be deemed to satisfy any Taxes
proration requirements under the Leases. If any of the same have not been
finally assessed as of the date of Closing for the current fiscal year of the
taxing authority, then the same shall be adjusted at Closing based upon the most
recently issued bills therefor and shall be readjusted immediately when and if
final bills are issued, which obligation shall survive Closing and not be merged
therein. Such proration shall be calculated based upon the actual number of days
in such fiscal year, with Seller being responsible for that portion of such
fiscal year occurring prior to midnight of the Proration Date and Purchaser
being responsible for that portion of such fiscal year occurring after midnight
of the Proration Date.

         7.2 Rents. All rents with respect to the Real Property shall be

when such payments are actually made and Purchaser shall be entitled to all such
rents and other revenues accruing on and after the Closing Date. Any proration
of rents between Purchaser and Seller pursuant to this Section shall also be
deemed to have satisfied any rent proration requirements of the landlord and
tenant under the Leases.

             -----------------
tenants under Leases not theretofore applied, shall be delivered by Seller to
Purchaser on the Closing Date, or as to such cash deposits, Seller may elect to
give Purchaser a credit against the Purchase Price in the amount of such
deposits. Any security deposit in the form of a letter of credit shall be
delivered to Purchaser immediately following the Closing. Any such delivery or
credit of the security and other deposits by Seller shall also be deemed to
satisfy any requirement under the Leases for the return of such security and
deposits to the tenant under the Leases.

         7.4 Contracts. Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the
             ---------
Purchase Price for sums that are due (or accrued) and unpaid as of the Closing
Date under any contracts listed on Exhibit G as "Assigned Contracts", and Seller
shall be entitled to a credit to the extent that sums have been paid under any
such Contracts for services to be performed or goods to be delivered after the
Closing Date. In addition, to the extent not already credited pursuant to the
prior sentence, Purchaser shall receive a credit for all amounts that are not
then currently due or accrued which remain to be paid under the Garage Contract
calculated as of the Closing. At Closing, Seller shall at its cost and expense
terminate the existing insurance policies affecting the Property, and there
shall be no prorations of any amounts related thereto under this Agreement or

charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the Leases)

<PAGE>

and Purchaser shall pay all utility charges and other operating expenses
attributable to the Property on or after the Closing Date together with any
utility charges and operating expenses payable by tenants in accordance with the
Leases (other than real property taxes and assessments and insurance premiums).
To the extent that the amount of actual consumption of any utility services is
not determined prior to the Closing Date, a proration shall be made at Closing
based on the last available reading and post-closing adjustments between
Purchaser and Seller shall be made within twenty (20) days of the date that
actual consumption for such pre-closing period is determined, which obligation
shall survive the Closing and not be merged therein. Seller shall not assign to
Purchaser any deposits which Seller has with any of the utility services or
companies servicing the Property, and Seller shall be entitled to the return of
such deposits from the utility provided, if any. Purchaser shall arrange with
such services and companies to have accounts opened in Purchaser's name
beginning at 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date.

         7.6 Insurance Premiums. At Closing, Seller shall cancel the existing
             ------------------
insurance policies for the Property. Seller shall pay all insurance premiums
owed prior to the Closing Date and there shall be no proration of such items.

pursuant to this Agreement without the consent of the other; provided, however,
that (i) Seller shall be permitted to assign its rights and obligations

be permitted to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of
Purchaser or to an entity established to facilitate a sale-leaseback, synthetic
lease or other off-balance sheet financing. Any such assignment by Seller shall
not relieve Seller from its liability under this Agreement. Any such assignment
by Purchaser shall not relieve Purchaser from its liability under this Agreement
for matters accruing prior to the assignment, and, unless such assignment is
made at Closing, until Closing, Purchaser shall remain jointly and severally
liable with the assignee for matters accruing after the Assignment. If the
Assignment is made at Closing, Purchaser shall have no liability under this
Agreement for matters accruing after the Assignment.

         15.14 Time of the Essence. All times, wherever specified herein for the
               -------------------

are of the essence of this Agreement.

         15.15 As-Is and Release. Except as otherwise specifically represented
               -----------------
by Seller in this Agreement, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Property
is to be purchased, conveyed and accepted by Purchaser in its present condition,
"AS-IS, WHERE-IS, WITH ALL FAULTS", without representation or warranty of any
kind, express or implied, and that no patent or latent defect in the condition
of the Property, whether or not known or discovered, shall give rise to any
claim or cause of action by Purchaser against Seller. Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that prior to the end of the Contingency Period, Purchaser and its
representatives will have been afforded sufficient opportunity to make and
complete such review of the documents received in connection with the Property
and inspections of the Property and matters related thereto, and to investigate
any land use or other governmental issues affecting the Property as Purchaser
and its representatives desire and, except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, Purchaser shall accept the Property upon the basis of its review and
determinations. Except as otherwise expressly

                                       22

<PAGE>

provided herein, Purchaser acknowledges that the Property has been leased or
otherwise used from time to time for various industrial/commercial purposes, and
has been in the past and is currently subject to a number of environmental
concerns. Purchaser further acknowledges that prior to the end of the
Contingency Period it will have been given the opportunity to review and be
knowledgeable of the matters described in the materials provided by Seller and
that Purchaser will acquire the Property subject to all matters described in
such materials. Purchaser acknowledges that the materials provided by Seller do
not constitute all materials ever received by Seller with respect to the
Property, and specifically, without limiting the foregoing, that over the years
Seller has received significantly more reports and other information relating to
the environmental condition of the Property which are no longer in Seller's
possession. Purchaser therefore agrees to rely on the investigations of its
environmental and other consultants in ascertaining the present condition of the
Property. Purchaser acknowledges that some or all of the materials provided by
Seller may have been obtained from previous owners or users of the Property or
other sources and Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the
reputation or reliability of the persons or entities preparing the materials.
Notwithstanding that Seller has made materials available for Purchaser's review,
Purchaser will make its own investigation relative to the Property and will rely
on its own investigation in determining the suitability of the Property for its
use. Without limiting the foregoing, Purchaser shall be responsible for
confirming the accuracy of title materials provided by Seller, and for obtaining
from the City of Mountain View confirmation of the existence and extent of any
City development, zoning or land use approvals. Purchaser acknowledges receipt
of the three reports prepared by JCP Geoplogists ("JCP") dated August 28, 2001,
relating to the location of the Real Property within any natural hazard
disclosure zone (the "Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports"). Purchaser
acknowledges that it will prior to Closing conduct and rely its own independent
investigations as to whether the Property is located within any natural hazard
disclosure zone and that Seller makes no representations or warranties and shall
have no liability in connection with such matters, notwithstanding any terms or
conditions contained in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Reports.

         Purchaser, on behalf of Purchaser and its officers, directors, members,
employees, agents, shareholders, heirs, executors, administrators, successors
and assigns, does hereby waive, release and forever discharge Seller and its
officers, directors, members, partners, employees, agents, heirs, executors,
administrators, successors and assigns from any and all claims, actions causes
of action, demands, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses or compensation
whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseeable or
unforeseeable ("Claims"), which Purchaser may have at Closing or which may arise
in the future on account of or in any way arising out of or connected with the
Property (except for breach of Seller's express representations made in this
Agreement), including without limitation: (i) the physical condition, nature or
quality of the Property (including the soils and groundwater on and under the
Property); and (ii) the presence or release in, under, on or about the Property
(including the soils and groundwater on and under the Property) of any Hazardous
Materials. Purchaser, on behalf of Purchaser and its officers, directors,
members, employees, agents, shareholders, heirs, executors, administrators,
successors an assigns, hereby waives the protection of California Civil Code
Section 1542, which reads as follows:

               A general release does not extend to claims which the
               creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at
               the time of executing the release,

                                    23

<PAGE>

               which if known by him must have materially affected his
               settlement with the debtor.

               Purchaser's Initials: _______________

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the
foregoing release shall specifically exclude any Claim which Purchaser may
allegedly have against Seller (i) resulting from fraud on the part of the
Seller, or (ii) with respect to the Surviving Obligations under this Agreement
or any obligation of Seller pursuant to the Assignment delivered to Purchaser at
Closing, or (iii) for any tort claims of third parties unrelated to Purchaser or
any subsequent owner of the Property from any acts or negligent omissions of
Seller for which Purchaser would not be liable under any Lease and not relating
to Hazardous Materials, or (iv) any remediation costs or third party tort claims
( excluding tort claims in proceedings initiated by entities which Purchaser
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with ) arising out of the
presence or release of Hazardous Materials for which the owner or operator of
the Property from time to time has or may have liability under the 106 Order (as
defined in the Settlement Agreement), as amended from time to time, or under any
other administrative or judicial order issued from time to time with respect to
the Contamination (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) or otherwise arising
from or relating to Hazardous Materials contaminating the MEW Site (as defined
in the 106 Order) at the time of execution of the Settlement Agreement, to the
extent that such liability is not required by the terms of the Settlement

to be fully performed and discharged by SCI or Siemens to and for the direct
benefit of Purchaser pursuant to the Settlement Agreement (as assigned by Seller
to Purchaser), the Siemens Indemnity, the Siemens Guaranty, the New Indemnity,
or the New Guaranty. As to (iv) immediately above, Seller shall not have any
liability for costs incurred as a result of SCI's or Siemens' bankruptcy,
insolvency or breach of their obligation under the Settlement Agreement, Siemens
Indemnity, Siemens Guaranty, New Indemnity or New Guaranty.

         15.16  Like-Kind Exchange. Purchaser agrees to cooperate reasonably
                ------------------
with Seller in effecting one or more exchange transactions which includes the
Property or any portion thereof, pursuant to Section 1031 of the United States
Internal Revenue Code, provided that any such exchange transactions, and the
related documentation, shall: (a) be at the sole cost and expense of Seller
(other than costs and expenses incurred in connection with any review by
Seller's attorneys or other consultants), (b) not require Purchaser to execute
any contract, make any commitment, or incur any obligations, contingent or
otherwise, to third parties, (c) not cause Purchaser to be liable or potentially
liable for any environmental conditions affecting property other than the
Property, (d) not delay the closing of the transaction, (e) not include
Purchaser's acquiring title to any property other than the Property or otherwise
becoming involved in a transaction with a third party, and (f) not excuse Seller
from any of its obligations under this Agreement, (g) not otherwise be contrary
to or inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. Seller acknowledges that it
is not relying on any representation of Purchaser or its counsel with respect to
the tax treatment of Seller or any other aspect of the exchange.

                                R E C I T A L S:
                                ----------------

     P.   VeriSign, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("VeriSign") and
Ellis-Middlefield Business Park, a California limited partnership ("EMBP"),

day of September, 2001 ("Purchase Agreement"), pursuant to which VeriSign agreed
to purchase and EMBP agreed to sell certain real property located in Mountain

     Q.   VeriSign assigned its interests under the Purchase Agreement to Owner.

     R.   Sobrato Construction is an affiliate of EMBP.

     S.   Owner desires to have the option to have Sobrato Construction

4") on land located at 575 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, California
("575 Property"), which is a portion of the Property, in accordance with the
Standard Form of Agreements between Owner and Design/Builder (Parts One and Two)
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" ("Construction Contract").

     T.   To induce Owner to consummate the transaction contemplated by the

                               -------------------

     NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the recitals set forth above,
ten dollars ($10), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
adequacy and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:

     1.   Recitals Incorporated; Certain Defined Terms. The recitals set forth
          --------------------------------------------
above are incorporated into this Agreement and shall be deemed terms and
provisions hereof, the same as if fully set forth in this Paragraph 1. All
capitalized terms used herein not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in the Agreement.

     2.   Construction Option.
          -------------------

          a.   Owner shall have the option to have Sobrato Construction
     construct Building 4 on the 575 Property (the "Option") on the terms and
     conditions set forth herein and in accordance with the Construction
     Contract. The Option shall be exercisable from and after the date of
     Substantial Completion of the parking garage serving 455, 487,


                                      D-2

<PAGE>

     501 and 575 East Middlefield Road, Mountain View, California (the "Garage")
     to and including February 1, 2005 (the "Option Period"), provided that, if
     the Option is exercised after March 5, 2003, all approvals necessary for
     the construction of Building 4 have been obtained by Design/Builder at the
     time of exercise and will not expire before commencement of construction.
     Such Option may be exercised at any time during the Option Period by
     Owner's giving Sobrato Construction written notice of Owner's exercise
     thereof (the "Notice of Exercise") which Notice of Exercise shall be
     accompanied by four (4) copies of the Construction Contract each dated as
     of the date of the Notice of Exercise and executed by Owner. Time shall be
     of the essence as to Owner's obligation to deliver any such Notice of
     Exercise during the Option Period. If Owner fails to deliver the Notice of
     Exercise and the four (4) executed copies of the Construction Contract to
     Owner prior to expiration of the Option Period, Owner's rights under this
     Agreement, with the exception of the Owner's right to use the plans and
     specifications as set forth in paragraph 2 (h), shall terminate and be of
     no further force and effect.

          b.   Provided Owner has timely exercised its Option, within five (5)
     days after Sobrato Construction's receipt of a Notice of Exercise, Sobrato
     Construction shall return to Owner two (2) of the four (4) copies of the
     Construction Contract that Owner delivered to Sobrato Construction with the
     Notice of Exercise, executed by Sobrato Construction and the John Michael
     Sobrato 1985 Separate Property Trust.

          c.   If Owner timely exercises the Option: (a) Owner shall compensate
     Sobrato Construction for performance of the Work (as used in this
     Agreement, the term "Work" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in
     the Construction Contract) in the amount and manner provided in the
     Construction Contract; and (b) Sobrato Construction shall complete the Work
     in accordance with the terms of the Construction Contract.

          d.   Performance of the Work shall be completed within one (1) year
     after the Date of Commencement. (As used in this Agreement, the term "Date
     of Commencement" shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the
     Construction Contract.)

          e.   Sobrato Construction has the responsibility for ensuring that the
     Work is performed in accordance with all applicable laws, codes and
     regulations. Said responsibility includes assisting Owner in obtaining and
     maintaining all necessary governmental authorizations necessary to
     construct Building 4, including but not limited to preparing and processing
     applications for building permits and zoning approvals. If any required
     governmental approval will expire prior to commencement of construction,
     then at least ninety (90) days prior to such expiration, Sobrato
     Construction shall prepare and process all documentation necessary to renew
     such approval. Owner shall thoroughly and promptly provide all information
     and execute all documentation necessary to obtain such governmental
     authorizations and renewals within seven (7) days after receipt of written
     request therefor from Sobrato Construction. Any cost thereof incurred prior
     to the execution of the Construction Contract shall be borne by the parties
     in the manner described in the Construction Contract, and to the extent any
     fees payable to the governmental authority in connection with such
     authorizations and renewals are to


                                      D-3

<PAGE>

     be borne by Owner, Owner shall submit such payment to Sobrato Construction
     in sufficient time to allow Sobrato Construction to pay such fee to the
     governmental authority on or prior to the due date thereof.

          f.   An index of plans and specifications for the core and shell of
     Building 4 is attached as Exhibit B. The "Core" work is all work reflected
     in the plans and specifications listed in Exhibit B typically associated in
     the industry with an office building core, including elevators, restrooms,
     fire sprinklers, HVAC and electrical systems distributed to each floor,
     exiting stair finishes, and a finished building lobby. The "Shell" work is
     all work reflected in the plans and specifications in Exhibit B that is not
     part of the Core work, including but not limited to site work, foundation,
     structural framework, exterior wall system, roof and landscaping. Within
     thirty (30) days after execution of this Agreement, the parties shall
     append a new Exhibit B hereto, which shall more clearly delineate between
     Core and Shell work. The Work includes only the Shell of Building 4. At
     Owner's option (not to be exercise more than twice during the Option
     Period), Sobrato Construction shall, within thirty (30) days after receipt
     of written request therefor, submit to Owner a bid to construct the Core of
     Building 4 which bid shall include competitive bids from at least three (3)
     subcontractors for each aspect of the Core work in excess of Fifty Thousand
     and No Hundredths Dollars ($50,000.00). The lowest qualified bidder for
     each aspect of the work shall be the subcontractor selected to perform that
     work, subject to Owner's approval. Within sixty (60) days after submittal
     of the bid for the Core work to Owner, Owner may elect, in its sole
     discretion, by delivery of written notice to Sobrato Construction, to
     increase the scope of the Work to include the Core work. If Owner does not
     deliver written notice of its election to increase the scope of the work to
     include the Core work within this sixty- (60-) day period, the bid shall no
     longer be effective and the Owner can no longer accept that bid. If Owner
     timely elects to increase the scope of the Work to include the Core work
     and delivers the Notice of Exercise, Owner and Sobrato Construction shall
     promptly execute a written Change Order for the Core Work, which shall
     provide for the increase in the Contract Price by the amount of Sobrato
     Construction's submitted bid (which bid, if Owner approves a subcontractor
     bid that is not the lowest bid, shall be increased by the increased cost
     resulting from the selection of a higher bid) plus seven percent (7%) of
     cost of the Core work for overhead, profit, supervision and general
     conditions, and for the extension of the time for completion of the Shell
     and Core work to fourteen (14) months after the Date of Commencement.

          g.   Any changes to the Work prior to delivery of the Notice of
     Exercise during the Option Period--including but not limited to adding
     construction of the Core to the Work--shall be solely pursuant to a written
     change order between Owner and Sobrato Construction, executed in accordance
     with the Construction Contract and made effective as of the Date of
     Commencement; provided however that any costs incurred by Sobrato
     Construction prior to delivery of the Notice of Exercise as a result of
     such changes, to the extent the cost would be required to be borne by Owner
     under the terms of the Construction Contract, shall be paid by Owner to
     Sobrato Construction within fifteen (15) days after request for payment is
     delivered to Owner and shall be retained by Sobrato Construction if Owner
     fails to timely deliver the Notice of Exercise (and if not paid when due,
     shall bear interest at the rate described in Section 13.3.1 of Part Two of


                                      D-4

<PAGE>

     the Construction Contract from the due date until paid in full). All
     changes to the Work resulting in an increase in the Construction Contract
     Sum shall be billed to Owner at actual cost, plus seven percent (7%) as a
     mark-up for Sobrato Construction. The seven percent (7%) mark-up includes
     all of Sobrato Construction's profit, overhead (including but not limited
     to home office administration, supervision and coordination) and general
     conditions (including but not limited to construction supervision and
     administration, temporary on-site facilities). There shall be no mark-up
     for any work that is performed by Sobrato Construction's own forces.

          h.   In accordance with Exhibit C, Sobrato Construction hereby grants
     Owner an irrevocable license to use the plans referenced in the Exhibit B
     hereto to perform the Work at the 575 Property, without any limitation as
     to time, and regardless of whether Owner exercises the Option to hire
     Sobrato Construction to perform the Work. Sobrato Construction hereby
     furnishes Owner with Arctec Associates' and Nishkian Menningers' approval
     to use the Construction Documents to perform the Work at the 575 Property,
     and not later than October 8, 2001 shall furnish Owner with the remaining
     architect and engineer approvals, all in the form of Consents attached to
     Exhibit C. The obligations of this subparagraph shall survive the
     termination of this Agreement.

          i.   Sobrato Construction has provided Owner with a construction
     schedule for Owner's approval, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D.

     3.   Miscellaneous.
          -------------

          a.   This Agreement and all provisions hereof shall extend to, be
     binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by and against the
     respective heirs, legatees, successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

          b.   Except as provided herein, this Agreement contains the entire
     agreement between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated
     hereby.

          c.   This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance
     with the laws of the State of California.

          d.   If any of the provisions of this Agreement or the application
     thereof to any persons or circumstances shall, to any extent, be deemed
     invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and the
     application of such provisions to persons or circumstances other than those
     as to whom or which it is held invalid or unenforceable shall not be
     affected thereby.

          e.   To facilitate execution of this Agreement, this Agreement may be
     executed in multiple counterparts, each of which, when assembled to include
     an original signature for each party contemplated to sign this Agreement,
     will constitute a complete and fully executed original. All such fully
     executed original counterparts will collectively constitute a single
     agreement.

          f.   If either party institutes a legal action against the other
     relating to this Agreement or any default hereunder, the unsuccessful party
     to such action will reimburse


                                      D-5

<PAGE>

     the successful party for the reasonable expenses of prosecuting or
     defending such action, including without limitation attorneys' fees and
     disbursements and court costs.

          g.   Section headings contained herein are for convenience or
     reference only, and shall not govern the interpretation of any of the
     provisions contained herein.

          h.   This Agreement shall not be construed more strictly against one
     party than against the other merely by virtue of the fact that the
     Agreement may have been prepared primarily by counsel for one of the
     parties, it being recognized that both Sobrato Construction and Owner have
     contributed substantially and materially to the preparation of this
     Agreement.

          i.   If, under the terms of this Agreement and the calculation of time
     periods provided herein, any date to be determined under this Agreement
     should fall on a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or any other day on which
     banks in San Francisco, California are not open for business, then such
     date shall be extended to the next business day.

                           LEASE TERMINATION AGREEMENT
                           ---------------------------


     This Lease Termination Agreement (this "Agreement") is made on
______________, 2001 by and between ____________________________ ("Landlord"),
and ____________________ ("Tenant").

                                R E C I T A L S:
                                - - - - - - - -


     A. Landlord and Tenant entered into that certain Lease dated
_________________ (the "Lease"), as amended, pursuant to which Landlord leases
to Tenant approximately ______________ rentable square feet of space, known as
___________________ (the "Premises").

     B. Landlord and Tenant have agreed to terminate the Lease, subject to and
in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions set forth in this
Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants
contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Landlord and Tenant agree as
follows:

     1. Recitals. The foregoing Recitals are true and correct and are
        --------
incorporated into this Agreement by reference as if fully set forth.

     2. Termination. Effective immediately on the date of this Agreement (the
        -----------
"Termination Date"), the Lease is hereby terminated. As of the Termination Date,
the Lease shall be deemed to be of no further force or effect and neither party
shall have any further liability to the other under the Lease except for those
obligations which expressly survive expiration or earlier termination of the
Lease ("Surviving Obligations"), subject to this Section below. Notwithstanding
Section 12E ("Landlord's Indemnity Regarding Hazardous Materials") of the Lease,
Landlord's obligations under Section 12E of the Lease shall not survive
termination of the Lease and shall not be a Surviving Obligation hereunder.

     3. Release. Except for the Surviving Obligations, the undersigned (and the
        -------
individuals executing on behalf of the undersigned in their individual
capacities) do hereby release, discharge and acquit each other, their past,
present and future officers, employees, directors, principals, agents, partners,
shareholders, attorneys, successors and assigns, and any affiliated entity or
other entity owned or controlled by one or more of them, from any claim asserted
or which may have been asserted in connection with any rights, obligations,
representations, warranties or covenants, or breaches thereof, contained in,
arising from or conferred under the Lease, other than the Surviving Obligations,
and from any and all claims, demands, remedies, causes of action, debts,
liabilities and losses of every kind or nature, whether at this time known or
unknown, anticipated or unforeseen, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent,
whether presently or hereafter disclosed, which the parties to this Agreement,
and their respective successors and


                                      K-1

assigns, ever had, now have or hereafter may have by reason of the Lease, the
landlord-tenant relationship created thereby, or the occupancy of the Premises
under the Lease, except that nothing herein shall in any way limit or prejudice
the rights of either of the parties with respect to the Surviving Obligations,
the exercise and enforcement to the fullest extent of the rights granted under
this Agreement, or the pursuit of any claim by Tenant under that certain
Agreement to Purchase Buildings dated September __, 2001, between Landlord and
Tenant (the "Purchase Agreement") or reserved by Tenant under Section 15.15 of
the Purchase Agreement. Landlord and Tenant hereby waive the protection of
California Civil Code Section 1542, which reads as follows:

          A general release does not extend to claims which the
          creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor
          at the time of executing the release, which if known by
          him must have materially affected his settlement with
          the debtor.

          Landlord's Initials: _______   Tenant's Initials: ________

     4. Authority. The signatories hereto hereby represent that they have full
        ---------
and complete authority to bind their respective parties to the Agreement and
that no other consent is necessary or required in order for the signatories to
execute this Agreement on behalf of their respective parties.

     5. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
        --------------
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

     6. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and
        --------------
enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard
to any conflict of laws principles.

     7. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate counterparts,
        ------------
all of which together shall constitute a single Agreement.

     8. Attorneys' Fees. If any legal proceeding is brought or undertaken to
        ---------------
enforce this Agreement, or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default, or
misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement,
then the prevailing party or parties in such proceeding shall be entitled to
recover reasonable attorneys' and other professionals' fees, court costs and
other expenses incurred in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other
relief to which such party may be entitled.
