in, on, arising out of and used in connection with the ownership or
operation of the Real Property, including any uninterruptable power
supply that the Property may have, all installed and uninstalled
equipment, machinery, furnishings, landscaping, maintenance

but not the tile containing the "eagle" logo of Seller, which logo

("Personal Property") (the term "Personal Property" shall not
include office furniture, desk partitions, warehouse shelving or
fork lifts of Seller); and
C. Intangible Property. Any and all intangible personal
property arising out of or in connection with the ownership or
operation of the Property, but not including the trademarks or

provided herein, and upon Buyer's approval or waiver of all of the

such dispute has been settled or such claim satisfied. Seller shall
notify Buyer within five (5) days after any additional dispute,

4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
A. Buyer's Conditions. Buyer's obligation to purchase the
Property shall be subject to and contingent upon the satisfaction or
written waiver of the following conditions precedent (as determined
solely by Buyer in its reasonable discretion):
(i) Buyer's inspection and approval during the Due
Diligence Period of all Due Diligence Materials, all records
and files of Seller relating to the Property and all physical,
environmental, geotechnical, legal and any other matters
relating to the Property (including zoning, land use and
similar public agency or governmental conditions or approvals
with respect to the ownership, operation and use of the
Property) as Buyer may, in Buyer's sole discretion, elect to
investigate; and, during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall
be permitted to make complete
3
<PAGE> 8
physical, environmental, legal and such other reasonable and
necessary tests and inspections of the Property and to make and
remove copies of any and all records and files regarding the
Property; provided, such tests and inspections are to be
conducted in such a way as to minimize interference with
Seller's business conducted at the Property and may only be
conducted with Seller's prior authorization, not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the foregoing,
Buyer or representatives of Buyer shall have reasonable access
to the Property during normal business hours.
(ii) Buyer shall have the opportunity to review and
approve during the Due Diligence Period a current preliminary
title report for the Property ("Title Report") together with a
copy of each of the documents noted as exceptions in the Title
Report and a current ALTA survey of the Property; provided,
within the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller of
any defects Buyer may, in its discretion, deem material (the
"Defects"). Seller shall have ten (10) days after Buyer informs
Seller of the Defects to notify Buyer in writing that Seller
will or will not correct any of the Defects. Seller may decide
to correct or not correct such Defects in its discretion. If
Seller decides not to correct any or all of the Defects, then,
within ten (10) days of receipt of such written notice from
Seller (and, if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall be
extended by the number of days necessary to give Buyer this
full ten-day period), Buyer shall have the option of
terminating this Agreement. In the event of such termination,
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations
under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer
hereby objects to any title exceptions for delinquent tax
liens, liens evidencing any loan secured by the Property or any
mechanics' liens affecting the Property; and Seller agrees to
cause all such liens to be eliminated from title to the
Property, or sufficient bond shall be posted by Seller to cause
the Title Company to insure title to the Property without any
such lien as an exception to title, prior to the Close of
Escrow. The title exceptions approved by Buyer, and any other
exceptions which Buyer expressly approves in writing, shall be
referred to hereinafter as the "Permitted Exceptions".
(iii) The willingness of Title Company to issue, upon the
sole condition of the payment of its regularly scheduled
premium, an ALTA Owner's Form B1970 policy of title insurance,
with such endorsements as Buyer may reasonably require and with
such reinsurance or coinsurance as Buyer may require
(collectively, the "Title Policy"), insuring Buyer in the
amount of the Purchase Price that fee simple title to the Real
Property is vested in Buyer as of the Close of Escrow, subject
only to the standard printed conditions and exceptions and the
Permitted Exceptions.
4
<PAGE> 9
(iv) Seller's performance of each and every covenant
required to be performed by Seller hereunder, and the truth and
correctness of each of Seller's representations and warranties
as set forth in Paragraph 6.B.
(v) Buyer shall have approved any material (in Buyer's
reasonable judgment) change to Seller's representations and
warranties reflected in the Closing Certificate (as defined in
Paragraph 5.A(vi)). Buyer shall have two (2) business days
following receipt of said certificate to approve or disapprove
any such changes (and if necessary, the Close of Escrow shall
be extended by the number of days necessary to give Buyer this
full two (2) business day period).
(vi) There shall have been no material adverse changes in
the physical condition of the Property or the financial
condition of the Seller.
B. Seller's Conditions. Seller's obligation to sell the
Property shall be subject to and contingent upon Buyer's performance
of each and every covenant required to be performed by Buyer
hereunder and the truth and correctness of each of Buyer's
representations and warranties, as set forth in Paragraph 6.C.
C. Failure or Waiver of Conditions Precedent. In the event any
of the conditions set forth above in Paragraphs 4.A and 4.B are not
fulfilled, waived or deemed waived (for any reason other than a
default by either Buyer or Seller hereunder), this Agreement shall
terminate, all rights and obligations hereunder of each party shall
be at an end and the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to
Buyer. Buyer or Seller may elect, at any time or times on or before
the date specified for the satisfaction of the condition, to waive
in writing the benefit of any of their respective conditions set
forth in Paragraph 4.A or Paragraph 4.B above, as applicable.
Buyer's failure to notify Seller in writing of the satisfaction of
the condition set forth in Paragraph 4.A on or before the date
specified for satisfaction shall be deemed to constitute a failure
of such condition. In any event, Buyer's and Seller's consent to the
Close of Escrow shall waive any remaining unfulfilled conditions
(but such waiver shall not be deemed to waive any breach of any
representation, warranty or covenant made by either party to this
Agreement.)
5. CLOSE OF ESCROW. Concurrently herewith, Seller and Buyer shall
open an escrow (the "Escrow") with Escrow Holder for the purchase and sale
contemplated by this Agreement. Buyer and Seller agree that such escrow shall be
closed and the purchase and sale shall be consummated (the "Close of Escrow") on
or before the Scheduled Closing Date in the following manner:

be entitled to withhold from Seller an amount equal to three and
one-third percent (3-1/3%) of the Purchase Price, and (b) pay such
withheld amounts to the Franchise Tax Board of California within
twenty (20) days following the Close of Escrow.
8. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
A. Material Casualty or Condemnation. If prior to Close of
Escrow (i) the Property shall sustain damage caused by fire or other
casualty which (a) would cost in excess of an amount equal to the
Deposit to repair or replace, or (b) would take more than sixty (60)
days from the date of damage or destruction to repair or replace, or
(ii) if a taking or condemnation of any portion of the Property has
occurred or is threatened which would materially adversely affect
the Property or would materially and negatively affect the aesthetic
quality of, or any access to, the Property, Buyer may, at its
option, terminate this Agreement within five (5) days after receipt
of written notice of such event (and, if necessary, the Close of
Escrow shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give
Buyer this full five-day (5-day) period). If Buyer does not provide
said termination notice within such period, the Close of Escrow
shall take place as provided herein with a credit against the
Purchase Price in an amount equal to the difference between any
insurance proceeds or condemnation awards actually received by Buyer
on account of such occurrence and the cost of repair or replacement,
in the event of a casualty, or the diminution in value of the
Property by reason of a taking.
B. Immaterial Casualty or Condemnation. If prior to Close of
Escrow the Property shall sustain damage caused by fire or other
casualty which is not described in Paragraph 8.A, or a taking or
condemnation has occurred, or is threatened, which is not described
in Paragraph 8.A, the Close of Escrow shall take place as provided
in this Agreement with a credit against the Purchase Price equal to
the difference between any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards
actually received by Buyer on account of such occurrence and the
cost of repair and replacement (if not already performed and paid by
Seller), in the event of a casualty, or the diminution in value of
the Property by reason of a taking. At Close of Escrow, Seller shall
assign to Buyer all rights or interest in and to any insurance
proceeds or condemnation awards which may be due to Seller on
account of any such occurrence; provided Seller may recoup from such
proceeds any reasonable and
12
<PAGE> 17
documented sums expended by Seller in repairing damage or replacing
damaged property.
9. INDEMNIFICATION. Each party hereto, including Arrow, shall
indemnify and hold harmless the other party (with counsel acceptable to such
party) from and against any loss, cost, expense, claim, demand, liabilities or
damages, including reasonable attorneys' fees, attributable to any breach or
default by such party of any of its representations, warranties or covenants
contained in this Agreement. Buyer agrees to indemnify Seller and hold Seller
harmless from all costs, expenses, losses and claims arising directly from
Buyer's activities at the Real Property during the Due Diligence Period.
10. DEFAULT BY BUYER.
A. BEFORE DELIVERY OF EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT. Except as set
forth in the last sentence of Paragraph 9, in the event of a default
by Buyer under this Agreement prior to delivery of the Earnest Money
Deposit to Escrow Holder, neither party shall have any further
rights or obligations hereunder except to a return of those
documents or other items previously delivered to the other party.
B. AFTER DELIVERY OF EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT. ONLY AFTER THE
EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT IS DELIVERED BY BUYER TO ESCROW HOLDER, IN THE
EVENT OF THE FAILURE TO CLOSE ESCROW DUE TO DEFAULT BY BUYER IN THE
PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT FORTHWITH AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL
HAVE FURTHER OBLIGATIONS TO THE OTHER HEREUNDER EXCEPT SELLER'S
RIGHT TO OBTAIN IMMEDIATE DISBURSEMENT OF AND TO RETAIN THE EARNEST
MONEY DEPOSIT. SUCH RETENTION OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT IS
INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. SAID AMOUNT
SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF
THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER
REMEDIES AT LAW OR EQUITY BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH WOULD RESULT
TO SELLER AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT
TO ESTABLISH. IN ADDITION, BUYER DESIRES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PUT
UPON ITS POTENTIAL LIABILITY TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT THIS
TRANSACTION SHALL FAIL TO CLOSE. BY PLACING THEIR RESPECTIVE
INITIALS IN THE SPACES HEREINAFTER PROVIDED, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT, AFTER THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT IS DELIVERED BY BUYER TO
ESCROW HOLDER, UPON A DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL ONLY BE ENTITLED TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN
THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT.
BUYER (/s/ EK) AND SELLER (/s/ RK) AGREE.
11. DEFAULT BY SELLER. In the event of a default by Seller and/or
Arrow under this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to pursue any remedy
13
<PAGE> 18
available to Buyer at law or equity, including, without limitation, specific
performance of this Agreement and consequential damages.
12. MISCELLANEOUS
A. Leasing Commissions. Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer
harmless from any leasing commissions payable in connection with any
leases affecting the Property. With respect to the Lease, each party
hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the other (by counsel
acceptable to the party seeking indemnification) against and hold

transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereby agrees
to indemnify and defend the other (by counsel acceptable to the

including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, resulting from any
claims for Real Estate Compensation by any person or entity based

Buyer shall have no liability as a successor in interest for any

limited to, the Service Contracts; and Seller shall fully perform
all of its commitments and obligations under any such contracts and
agreements and shall indemnify and defend Buyer against (by counsel
acceptable to Buyer) and hold Buyer harmless from any and all
losses, costs, damages, liabilities and expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable counsel fees, brokerage commissions and lease
assumptions under any leases affecting the Property.
D. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of every
provision of this Agreement.

judicial or quasi-judicial body with respect to the terms of this
Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its
reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs incurred.

as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of the

warranties by Seller, Arrow and Buyer shall survive the Close of
Escrow for a period of twenty-four (24) months.
O. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and
