B. Seller desires to sell to Buyer and Buyer desires to purchase from Seller the Property, in accordance with the terms and provisions hereinafter contained in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Seller shall sell to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase from Seller the Property at the Closing (defined in Section 6 below), subject to and on the terms and conditions contained herein.
2. DEPOSITS.
2.1 Initial Deposit. Within two (2) business days after the Agreement Date, Buyer shall place on deposit into the escrow account (the "Escrow Account") to be opened with Fidelity National Title Insurance Company located at 50 California Street, Suite 2950, San Francisco, California 94111 (Attention: Mr. Bill Waite) ("Title Company" or "Escrow Holder") the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) as an initial deposit (the "Initial Deposit"). The Title Company shall cause the Initial Deposit to be placed into an interest bearing bank account acceptable to Buyer. Any interest earned on the Initial Deposit shall be included as part of the Initial Deposit. The Initial Deposit and interest earned thereon, shall be fully refundable to Buyer during the period commencing with the Agreement Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on July 5, 2000 (the "Conditions Period"). For purposes hereof, the last day of the Conditions Period shall mean and be referred to herein as the "Approval Date". If Buyer fails to deli ver the Initial Deposit into the Escrow Account strictly as and when contemplated herein, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Buyer at any time and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for (A) the
1

If Buyer decides to proceed with the transaction contemplated herein, then Buyer shall deliver written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Conditions Period (the "Approval Notice"); provided, if Buyer fails to timely deliver the Approval Notice, this Agreement shall be deemed automatically terminated and of no further force or effect except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations, and Escrow Holder shall return the Initial Deposit to Buyer without further instruction or written approval from Seller.
2.2 Additional Deposit. If Buyer delivers to Seller the Approval Notice prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Approval Date then (i) at the end of the Conditions Period the Initial Deposit shall become non-refundable to Buyer, and (ii) within two (2) business days after the Approval Date Buyer shall place on deposit into the Escrow Account, the amount of Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) as the additional deposit (the "Additional Deposit"). The Escrow Holder shall cause the Additional Deposit to be placed into an interest bearing bank account acceptable to Buyer and Seller. Any interest earned on the Additional Deposit shall be included as part of the Additional Deposit. The Additional Deposit shall be retained in the Escrow Account until the Closing (defined below), and the Additional Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer; provided, however, the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit (including any interest earned thereon) shall be refundable to Buyer if all of the Buyer's Closing Conditions (defined below ) are not satisfied or otherwise waived by Buyer in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.3 of this Agreement.

4. CONDITIONS TO PARTIES' OBLIGATIONS.
4.1 Buyer's Pre-Closing Conditions. Buyer's obligations under this Agreement shall be subject to the approval of, or written waiver by Buyer of, the following described matters (collectively, the "Pre-Closing Conditions") on or before the earlier of (i) the time periods specified in each subsection below, or (ii) 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Approval Date:
4.1.1 Title. If not already delivered prior to the Agreement Date, within five (5) days after the Agreement Date, Seller will cause to be issued and delivered to Buyer a preliminary title report for the Property, together with all documents evidencing exceptions to title
2
referred to therein issued by the Title Company (collectively, the "Title Report"). Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the date which is five (5) business days prior to the Approval Date to either approve of the exceptions (if any) contained therein, or to notify Seller in writing, specifying any exceptions to which Buyer objects ("Title Objection Notice"). Seller shall have a period of three (3) business days after Seller's receipt of the Title Objection Notice (a) to remove, or agree to remove prior to the Closing, some or all of those exceptions to which Buyer has objected in the Title Objection Notice, and to inform Buyer of the same, or (b) to advise Buyer, in writing, that Seller will not agree to remove some or all of those exceptions to which Buyer has objected in the Title Objection Notice; the foregoing election by Seller being at Seller's sole option and discretion ("Title Response Notice"). If Seller fails to timely deliver to Buyer the Title Response Notice, it shall be conclusively deemed that Seller has elected not to remove any of those exceptions to which Buyer has objected as specified in the Title Objection Notice. If Seller advises Buyer in its Title Response Notice that it will not remove or agree to remove some or all of those exceptions to which Buyer has objected in the Title Objection Notice (or Seller is deemed to have so advised Buyer), then Buy er shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Approval Date to advise Seller, in writing, whether Buyer elects to waive such objections and proceed with the acquisition of the Property or to terminate this Agreement. Failure by Seller to remove or failure of Seller to inform Buyer that Seller has or has not removed those specified exceptions which Seller has expressly agreed to remove in the Title Response Notice on or before the business day prior to the Closing Date shall be deemed to be a failure of this condition, in which event the Agreement shall terminate, the Deposits shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations and Seller's Surviving Obligations, unless Buyer withdraws its objections in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, on or prior to Closing Seller shall remove or cause to be removed those certain monetary liens or encumbrances affecting the Property which Seller has created or expressly permitted to e xist other than current taxes and assessments, and Seller also shall extinguish all rights in and to the Property arising under the Specialty Agreements (as defined in Section 4.1.8 below).
4.1.2 Physical Inspections. Within five (5) days after the Agreement Date, but only to the extent the same is actually in Seller's or its property manager's possession or under their immediate control and has not already been delivered to Buyer by Seller prior to the Agreement Date, without any warranty or representation as to the accuracy or thoroughness thereof or to the ability of Buyer to rely thereon, a true and complete copy of the most recent environmental site assessment report(s) with respect to an evaluation of Hazardous Materials (defined below) in, on or under the Property. After Buyer has provided to Seller a certificate of insurance(s) evidencing Buyer's or Buyer's agents', consultants' and/or contractors' (as the case may be) procurement of a commercial general liability insurance policy as required herein, Seller shall permit Buyer and its authorized agents, consultants and contractors to enter upon the Property during reasonable business hours (provided, Buyer shall not interfere with or distu rb any tenants operations therein or Seller's operation of the Property) to make and perform such environmental evaluations, and other inspections and investigations of the physical condition of the Property. Buyer shall maintain, and shall ensure that its agents, consultants and contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance insuring against any liability arising out of any entry, tests or investigations of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof. Such insurance maintained by Buyer and/or its consultants, agents and contractors (as applicable) shall be in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit for injury to or death of one or more persons in an occurrence, and for damage to tangible property (including
3
loss of use) in an occurrence. The policy maintained by Buyer shall insure the contractual liability of Buyer covering the indemnities herein and shall (i) name the Seller and its manager (and their successors, assigns and affiliates) as additional insureds, (ii) contain a cross-liability provision, and (iii) contain a provision that "the insurance provided by Buyer hereunder shall be primary and non-contributing with any other insurance available to Seller." Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry, tests or investigations of the Property. The aforementioned insurance coverage may be obtained under a blanket policy carried by Buyer or its agents, consultants or contractors, as the case may be. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be permitted to undertake any intrusive or destructive testing of the Property, including without limitation a "Phase II" environmental assessment, without in each instance first obtaining Seller's written consent thereto, which consent Seller may give or withhold in Seller's sole and absolute discretion. Prior to entering the Property (and on each and every occasion), Buyer shall deliver to Seller prior written notice thereof [or verbal notice wherein Buyer actually speaks with a representative of Seller (not a voicemail message) with written notice delivered immediately thereafter, if requested at such time], and shall afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to have a representative of Seller present to accompany Buyer while Buyer performs its evaluations, inspections, tests and other investigat ions of the physical condition of the Property. Prior to any entry to perform any necessary on-site inspections, tests or investigations, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof [or verbal notice wherein Buyer actually speaks with a representative of Seller (not a voicemail message) with written notice delivered immediately thereafter, if requested at such time], including the identity of the company or party(s) who will perform such inspections, tests or investigations and the proposed scope of the inspections, tests or investigations. Seller shall approve or disapprove any proposed inspections, tests or investigations and the party(s) performing the same within two (2) business days after receipt of such notice. Sellers failure to advise Buyer of its disapproval of any proposed inspections, tests or investigations and the party(s) performing the same within such two (2) business day period shall be deemed Sellers approval thereof, except to the extent said proposed inspections, tests o r investigations relate to "Phase II" environmental matters, in which event Sellers failure to advise Buyer of its approval or disapproval of any proposed environmental inspections, tests or investigations and the party(s) performing the same within such two (2) business day period shall be deemed Sellers disapproval thereof. Upon request, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of any reports relating to any inspections, tests or investigations of the Property performed by or on behalf of Buyer. Prior to Buyer contacting the tenants, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform any tenant interview or contacts. Seller or its representative(s) may be present at any such interview or meeting with the tenants and Buyer will reasonably cooperate and coordinate with Seller to effectuate same. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Approval Date to notify Seller in writing of its approval of all such evaluat ions, inspections and investigations. The term "Hazardous Materials" as used in this Agreement shall mean and refer to (a) any hazardous or toxic wastes, materials or substances, or chemicals, and other pollutants or contaminants, which are or become regulated by applicable local, state, regional and/or federal orders, ordinances, statutes, rules, regulations (as interpreted by judicial and administrative decisions) and laws; (b) asbestos, asbestos-containing materials or urea formaldehyde; (c) polychlorinated biphenyls; (d) flammables, explosive, corrosive or radioactive materials; (e) medical waste and biochemicals; and (f) gasoline, diesel, petroleum or petroleum by-products.

In no event shall Seller be required to prepare or obtain any information, report, document or survey not presently in Seller's or its property manager's possession or under their immediate control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent Seller has the legal right to obtain a copy of information in the possession any third party consultant(s) previously hired by Seller to prepare such information, at absolutely no cost or liability to Seller, Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer in obtaining said information from such third party consultant.

If Seller elects not to cure such matters , then within two (2) business days after Buyer's receipt of the Seller's Conditions Notice (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary to give Buyer such two (2) business day period), Buyer, at its sole option, may elect to do any of the following: (1) Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Seller shall promptly cause the return to Buyer of the Deposits, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations and Seller's Surviving Obligations; (2) if the Buyer's Closing Condition in question is any of those conditions specified in Sections 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1.3 or 4.2.1.4 and Seller is not in any material manner responsible for the deviation or failure of such Buyer's Closing Condition, then Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller, in which event Seller shall promptly cause the return to Buyer of the Deposits, and the parties shall have no furth er obligations hereunder except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations and Seller's Surviving Obligations; (3) if the Buyer's Closing Condition in question is any of those conditions specified in Sections 4.2.1.2 or 4.2.1.5, or if the Buyer's Closing Condition in question is any of those conditions
9
specified in Sections 4.2.1.1, 4.2.1.3 or 4.2.1.4 and Seller is actually responsible for the deviation or failure of such Closing Condition, then Buyer may pursue the remedies available to it pursuant to Section 5.2 below; or (4) Buyer may elect to waive the Buyer's Closing Condition(s) in question and proceed with the purchase of the Property. If Buyer elects to terminate the Agreement, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation hereunder except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations and Seller's Surviving Obligations. If Seller elects to cure such matters as set forth in the Buyer's Closing Conditions Failure Notice, Seller shall promptly take any and all actions as may be necessary to cure same and the date of the Closing may be extended for a period of time reasonably acceptable to both Seller and Buyer to enable Seller to accomplish same. Failure by Buyer to notify Seller of any failure of a Buyer's Closing Condition within the specified time periods set fort h herein, shall be deemed an approval by Buyer of each such matter, in which event all such Closing Conditions and contingencies shall be conclusively deemed to be satisfied and approved. If any of the Seller's Closing Conditions are not satisfied or otherwise waived by Seller prior to the Closing Date, Seller may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to terminate this Agreement.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the indemnity obligations of Buyer under this Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement or the delivery of the Grant Deed and the transfer of title. In addi tion to the foregoing indemnity, if there is any damage to the Property caused by Buyer's and/or its agents' or representatives' entry in or on the Property, Buyer shall immediately restore the Property substantially to the same condition existing prior to Buyer's and its agents' or representatives' entry in, on or about the Property.

Seller and Buyer agree to execute such additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable the Escrow Holder to comply with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any supplementary escrow instructions, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties and subject to the provisions of Section 4.2.1.1 hereof, escrow shall close on or before 8:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on July 21, 2000 (the "Initial Closing Date"), with time being of the essence.

7.1 Except as otherwise contemplated or permitted by this Agreement or approved by Buyer in writing, from the Agreement Date to the Closing Date, Seller agrees that it will operate, maintain, repair and lease the Property in the ordinary course and consistent with such Seller's past practices and will not dispose of or encumber its Property, except for dispositions of personal property in the ordinary course of business or as otherwise permitted hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller shall, in the ordinary course, enforce the terms of the Leases in all material respects and perform in all material respects all of landlord's obligations under the Leases (other than Leases that are or that are in process of being terminated due to the tenant's default thereunder). Except for the Legacy Lease Amendment (as defined in Section 33 below), Seller will promptly notify Buyer of proposals to enter into new leases, modifications of leases or any early te rmination of a lease and provide Buyer with a summary of the terms of each such proposal.

Any consent to be given by Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.2 shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed and shall be deemed granted if Buyer does not respond in writing to Seller's request for said consent within three (3) business days thereafter. If prior to the expiration of the Conditions Period Buyer elects to withhold or condition its consent to any of such aforesaid proposed leases, agreements, modifications or terminations, then Seller may elect to
13
terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller's receipt of Buyer's election notice. In the event of such termination, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations and Seller's Surviving Obligations.
7.3 Except for leases and other agreements entered into in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7, Seller shall not enter into any agreement to create a lien or encumbrance on the Property which will survive the Closing without Buyer's prior written consent; provided, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any utility or similar easement necessary for the operation of the Property. Buyer's consent shall be deemed granted if Buyer does not respond in writing to Seller's request for said consent within three (3) business days thereafter.

8. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
9. SELLER'S MAINTENANCE OF THE PROPERTY.
Between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date, Seller shall (i) maintain the Property in substantially the same manner as prior hereto in accordance with Seller's normal course of business, subject to reasonable wear and tear and further subject to the occurrence of any damage or destruction to the Property by casualty or other causes or events beyond the control of such Seller; provided, however, that such Seller's maintenance obligations under this Section 9 shall not include any obligation to make capital expenditures or any other expenditures not incurred in Seller's normal course of business; and (ii) continue to maintain its existing insurance coverage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event Seller makes emergency capital expenditures after the Agreement Date to the Property, Seller shall deliver to Buyer promptly following the occurrence of an event that would require Seller to make such emergency capital expenditure, a wr itten notice describing in reasonable detail the nature and cost of such emergency capital expenditure, and Buyer shall be obligated to reimburse Seller for such emergency capital expenditures to the extent tenants are required to pay such costs under the terms of the Leases, and the Purchase Price payable at the Closing shall be increased by an amount equal to the amount spent by Seller in respect of such emergency capital expenditure. For purposes of this Agreement, "emergency capital expenditures" shall mean any emergency capital expenditures performed by Seller that are reasonably necessary to prevent an immediate threat to the health or safety of any person or to prevent or remedy an imminent breach by Seller under a Lease. Subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof, prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except to the extent that Seller's failure to act shall constitute a waiver of such rights or remedies), to enforce the rights and remedies of the landlord under any Lease, by summary proceedings or otherwise, and to apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward any loss or damage incurred by Seller by reason of any defaults by any tenant, provided, that with respect to any application by Seller of tenant security deposits held by Seller, the Seller will deliver, in connection with any such application, written notice to the affected tenant(s) indicating that their security deposits have been or are being so applied. Seller shall provide Buyer with written notice of any action taken by Seller pursuant to the foregoing provisions.
10. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION.
In the event there is any damage to the Real Property or destruction of any improvement thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property after the Agreement Date, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property with a credit against the Purchase Price otherwise payable hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards actually collected by Seller prior to the Closing as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible or any uninsured amount or retention, less (a) any sums expended by Seller prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of the Property (and the amount of which sums expended for restoration or repair shall, subsequent to the Approval Date, be subject to Buyer's approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned) and/or (b) any reasonable sums expended by Seller prior to the Closing in collecting such insuranc e proceeds or condemnation awards. Seller agrees that it will maintain its present casualty insurance policy with respect to the Property in full force and effect until the Closing. If the insurance proceeds or condemnation awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums it expended prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of the Property or in collecting such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards.
15
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Property is damaged or destroyed by a casualty or is condemned, to the extent that the cost of repair or restoration to substantially the same condition existing prior to such casualty (or, in the case of a condemnation, the value of the Property or portion thereof so condemned) would exceed an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Purchase Price, then Seller shall give Buyer prompt notice thereof and the Buyer may, at its option to be exercised by delivery of written notice to Seller within five (5) business days of Seller's notice to the Buyer of the occurrence of such casualty or condemnation, elect not to purchase the Property under this Agreement. If Buyer so duly elects not to purchase the Property, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposits (to the extent then made) shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement other than Buyer 's Surviving Obligations and Seller's Surviving Obligations. Any dispute as to the costs of such repair or restoration or value of a condemned portion of the Property shall be referred to a licensed architect jointly selected by Buyer and Seller for resolution, and the determination of such architect, which shall be made within a period of twenty (20) days after such submittal by the parties, shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties. If the parties fail to agree upon the identity of such architect within five (5) business days after either party has notified the other of its choice of architect, then either party may at any time thereafter apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint immediately such architect. The fees and expenses of such architect shall be paid equally by Buyer and Seller, and the parties shall cooperate with such architect by providing such information as such architect may reasonably require to resolve the dispute. If Buyer does not elect, in writing, not to pu rchase the Property, Buyer shall be obligated to consummate the purchase of the Property as required by the terms hereof.
11. LIMITED LIABILITY.
Buyer on its own behalf and on behalf of its agents, members, partners, employees, representatives, related and affiliated entities, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Parties") hereby agrees that in no event or circumstance shall any of the members, partners, employees, representatives, officers, directors, agents, property management company, affiliated or related entities of Seller or Seller's property management company, namely Legacy Partners Commercial, Inc.

environmental problems, or the use, presence, storage, release, discharge, or migration of Hazardous Materials on, in, under or around the Property regardless of when such Hazardous Materials were first introduced in, on or about the Property, (ii) any patent or latent defects or deficiencies with respect to the Property, (iii) any and all matters related to the Property or any portion thereof, including without limitation, the condition and/or operation of the Property and each part thereof, (iv) the presence, release and/or remediation of asbestos and asbestos containing materials in, on or about the Property regardless of when such asbestos and asbestos containing materials were first introduced in, on or about the Property, and (v) any and all obligations and liabilities of Seller, as landlord, to the extent arising or occurring on or after the Closing Date under or with respect to the Inktomi Lease. Buyer hereby waives and agrees not to commence any action, legal proceeding, cause of action or suits in law or equity, of whatever kind or nature, including, but not limited to, a private right of action under the federal superfund laws, 42 U.S.C.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 12, the aforementioned release shall not include any Claims arising out of (i) the entry into or performance of this Agreement by Seller or (ii) any fraud on the part of Seller or the intentional concealment by Seller of any material adverse fact with respect to the Property actually known by Seller. In this connection and to the greatest extent permitted by law, Buyer hereby agrees, represents and warrants that Buyer realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and Buyer further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers an d releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that Buyer nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit Seller from any such unknown Claims, debts, and controversies which might in any way be included as a material portion of the consideration given to Seller by Buyer in exchange for Seller's performance hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, if Buyer has actual knowledge of (a) a default in any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by Seller under this Agreement and/or (b) any breach or inaccuracy in any representation of Seller made in this Agreement, and Buyer nonetheless elects to proceed to Closing, then, upon the consummation of the Closing, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such default and/or breach or inaccuracy and shall have no Claim against Seller or hereunder with respect thereto. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Buyer with resp ect to any matter disclosed to or discovered by Buyer or its agents or representatives prior to the Closing Date.
Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Section 12. Seller and Buyer have each initialed this Section 12 to further indicate their awareness and acceptance of each and every provision hereof. The provisions of
17
this Section 12 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument or conveyance delivered at the Closing.

13.2 Except as may otherwise be required to be performed by Seller under the provisions of Section 9 hereof, any reports, repairs or work required by Buyer are the sole responsibility of Buyer, and Buyer agrees that there is no obligation on the part of Seller to make any changes, alterations or repairs to the Property or to cure any violations of law or to comply with the requirements of any insurer. Buyer is solely responsible for obtaining any certificate of occupancy or any other approval or permit necessary for transfer or occupancy of the Property and for any repairs or alterations necessary to obtain the same, all at Buyer's sole cost and expense. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument or conveyance delivered at the Closing.
14. PRORATIONS AND RENT ARREARAGES.
14.1 At Closing, all rents actually paid and collected, and any other charges owing and which have been collected by Seller for or in respect of the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of and through the Closing Date on the basis of a 365-day year, and the prorated amount attributable to the period following the Closing shall either be paid to Buyer at the Closing or credited against the Purchase Price, at Seller's option. Any CAM and other charges and expenses payable by the tenants under the Leases (collectively, the "Tenant Charges") on an estimated basis shall be reconciled against actual charges and expenses as of and at the Closing, to the extent then possible, and Seller shall provide a proposed reconciliation for Buyer's approval. Seller shall have a period of ninety (90) days
19
following the actual Closing Date to provide Buyer with a final reconciliation of Tenant Charges. If the final reconciliation shows that Seller owes Buyer additional sums, Seller shall deliver such amount to Buyer together with the delivery of the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges. If the final reconciliation shows that Buyer owes Seller additional sums, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer's receipt of the final reconciliation. Other than as set forth above, there shall not be any further reconciliation of such Tenant Charges after the final reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the final reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate. After the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges is made by and between the parties, Buyer shall be solely liable and responsible to the tenants for such reconciliation of Tenant Charges under the Leases. The foregoing covenants made by the parties with respect to the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges shall survive the Closing.
14.2 In addition, to the extent not paid directly by any tenants of the Property or reimbursed by tenants as part of the Tenant Charges, real property taxes and assessments, water, sewer and utility charges and amounts payable under the Approved Contracts (calculated on the basis of the period covered), and other expenses normal to the operation and maintenance of the Property shall be prorated as of and through the Closing Date on the basis of a 365-day year.
14.3 At the Closing, Seller shall credit against the Purchase Price the amount equal to the aggregate of all security deposits paid by the tenants under the Leases and received by Seller in connection with the Leases, to the extent Seller has not already returned or applied any of such security deposits. At Closing, Seller shall either return or destroy, as directed by Buyer in writing, that certain Letter of Credit delivered by Buyer, as tenant, to Seller, as landlord, in accordance with the provisions of the Letter of Credit Rider to the Inktomi Lease. Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts after the Closing to attempt to collect any delinquent or other rental and reimbursable Tenant Charges and other expense arrearages attributable to the period prior to the Closing. After deduction of Buyer's out-of-pocket costs to collect same, Buyer shall promptly account to Seller and shall immediately reimburse Seller for all rents, expense reimbursem ents, Tenant Charges and other charges received by Buyer after the Closing which apply to any period prior to the Closing to the extent Seller has not already been paid for or credited with such sums. With respect to any rent or Tenant Charges arrears arising under any of the Leases, Seller shall have the right to attempt to collect such pre-closing delinquent rental obligations (including without limitation, all Tenant Charges) and Buyer will cooperate with Seller in such regard, at no cost to Buyer, provided that Buyer shall not be required to declare a default against such tenants under such Leases for such pre-closing delinquent rental obligations (including without limitation, all taxes and Tenant Charges). Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the Closing Seller shall not bring an action against any tenant under any of the Leases while such tenants are tenants of any portion of the Property which would seek to terminate any such tenant's lease. The provisions of this Section 14 shall survive the Clos ing.
15. CLOSING COSTS.
Except as expressly set forth herein, all costs associated with the transfer of title and the associated escrow shall be in accordance with the customary practices in San Mateo County. Seller shall pay the documentary county transfer taxes. At Closing, Buyer shall obtain from the Title Company a CLTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring fee simple title to the Property in Buyer (the "CLTA Title Policy"). Buyer may elect to cause the Title Company to issue an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (Form 1992) and if Buyer so elects in writing, Buyer shall timely provide the Title Company with an insurable ALTA Survey of the Property (and as is reasonably
20
acceptable to the Title Company), at Buyer's sole cost and expense (the "ALTA Policy"). At Closing, Buyer shall pay the premium charged by the Title Company for the CLTA Title Policy, and if Buyer so elects, any and all costs and incremental premiums or other charges related to the ALTA Policy (including all endorsements thereto), the recording fees, and the escrow fees. Each party shall be solely responsible for its own legal fees and costs.
21
16. BROKERS.
16.1 Brokerage Commission. Seller and Buyer respectively represent that there are no brokers or other intermediaries entitled to receive brokerage commissions or fees or other compensation out of or with respect to the sale of the Property except for BT Commercial ("BT") and Cushman & Wakefield (collectively, the "Brokers"). At Closing, and only if the Closing actually occurs, Seller shall pay to the Brokers a brokerage commission, the amount of which shall be as specified in separate agreements between Seller and the Brokers. Seller and Buyer shall indemnify and save and hold each other harmless from and against all claims, suits, damages and costs incurred or resulting from the claim of any person, except the Brokers (payment of the Brokers being Seller's responsibility), that a commission, fee or remuneration is due in connection with this transaction pursuant to a written agreement made with said claimant. The provisions of this Section 16.1 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

Buyer and Seller each specifically acknowledge and agree that all references in this Agreement, in any of the exhibits attached hereto and in any document, certificate or statement to be delivered by Seller to Buyer hereunder to the phrases "to Seller's actual knowledge," or "known to Seller" (whether used in the phrase "to the actual knowledge of Seller," "actually known to Seller," "Seller's knowledge," or in
26
similar or other contexts) (1) shall mean the actual (not constructive or imputed) personal knowledge of Mr. Robert Phipps, Mr. Steve Dunn, Ms. Laura de Flores, Mr. Allen Palmer, and Mr. Barry DiRaimondo (collectively, the "Seller's Personnel"); (2) shall in no case mean or refer to the actual or constructive knowledge of any other employee, partner, member, officer, director, agent, trustee or member, partner, representative or employee of a partner, member, officer, director, agent or other representative of Seller or any investment advisor, attorney, management company, contractor or representative of Seller (together with Seller's Personnel, the "Seller Representatives"); and (3) shall in no event or circumstance impose upon Seller or any of the Seller Representatives any duty or obligation to verify, inquire or make any independent inquiry or investigation of any such representation, warranty or statement, or to otherwise investigate the facts or circumstances relating or otherwise pertinent thereto.

EXTENSION OPTION RIDER
This Extension Option Rider ("Extension Rider") is made and entered into by and between WHFST REAL ESTATE LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership ("Landlord"), and LEGACY PARTNERS L.P., a California limited partnership ("Tenant"), and is dated as of the date of the Office Lease ("Lease") by and between Landlord and Tenant to which this Extension Rider is attached. The agreements set forth in this Extension Rider shall have the same force and effect as if set forth in the Lease. To the extent the terms of this Extension Rider are inconsistent with the terms of the Lease, the terms of this Extension Rider shall control.
1. Option Right. Landlord hereby grants Tenant one (1) option to extend the Lease Term for all, but not less than all, of the Premises for a period of five (5) years (the "Option Term"), which option shall be exercisable only by written Exercise Notice (as defined below) delivered by Tenant to Landlord as provided below, provided that, as of the date of delivery of such Exercise Notice, Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease and any applicable notice of such default has been delivered and any applicable cure period has expired. Upon the proper exercise of such option to extend, and provided that, as of the end of the initial Lease Term Tenant is not in monetary or material non-monetary default under the Lease beyond any applicable notice and cure period, the Lease Term shall be extended for the Option Term. The rights contained in this Extension Rider shall be personal to the original Tenant and may only be exercised by the original Tenant and any Permitted Affiliate or other assignee to which Tenant's entire interest in this Lease has been assigned pursuant to Article 14 (and not by any sublessee or other transferee of Tenant's interest in the Lease).
2. Option Rent. The Annual Base Rent payable by Tenant during the Option Term (the "Option Rent") shall be equal to the "Fair Market Rental Rate" for the Premises. For purposes hereof, the "Fair Market Rental Rate" shall mean the rent at which tenants, as of the commencement of the Option Term will be leasing non-sublease, non-encumbered space on a net basis comparable in size, location and quality to the Premises for a comparable term, which comparable space is located in Comparable Buildings (defined below) taking into consideration all out-of-pocket monetary concessions and inducements generally being granted at such time, including any tenant improvement allowances provided for such space (but in determining any such tenant improvement allowance, the quality and quantity of tenant improvements in the Premises shall be taken into account and the value thereof deducted from such allowance), and also taking into consideration and requiring Tenant to provide for security or collateral for the Option Term in such amounts and of such types (such as, for example, a cash security deposit and/or a letter of credit), if any, as are generally being required by landlords in connection with such extensions and rental amounts and concessions for such comparable space by tenants of comparable net worth as Tenant. All other terms and conditions of the Lease shall apply throughout the Option Term; however, Tenant shall, in no event, have the option to extend the Lease Term beyond the Option Term described in Section 1 above.
3. Exercise of Option. The option contained in this Extension Rider shall be exercised by Tenant, if at all, only in the following manner: (i) Tenant shall deliver written notice to Landlord not less than fourteen (14) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term stating that Tenant may be interested in exercising its option; (ii) Landlord, after receipt of Tenant's notice, shall deliver notice
H-1
(the "Option Rent Notice") to Tenant not less than thirteen (13) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term setting forth Landlord's good-faith determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Rent; and (iii) if Tenant wishes to exercise such option, Tenant shall, on or before the date (the "Exercise Date") which is the later of (A) the date occurring twelve (12) months prior to the expiration of the initial Lease Term, and (B) the date occurring thirty (30) days after Tenant's receipt of the Option Rent Notice, exercise the option by delivering written notice ("Exercise Notice") thereof to Landlord, and upon and concurrent with such exercise, Tenant may, at its option, object to Landlord's determination of the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Rent contained in the Option Rent Notice, in which case the parties shall follow the procedure and the Fair Market Rental Rate for the Option Term shall be determined as set forth in Section 4 below. If Tenant does not timely object to Landlord's determination of the Option Rent, Landlord's determination shall be conclusive and the arbitration procedures in Section 4 below shall not be applicable. Tenant's failure to deliver the Exercise Notice on or before the Exercise Date shall be deemed to constitute Tenant's waiver of its extension right hereunder.
4. Determination of Fair Market Rental Rate. In the event Tenant timely objects in writing to the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate initially determined by Landlord, Landlord and Tenant shall attempt to agree upon the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate, using their best good-faith efforts. If Landlord and Tenant fail to reach agreement within ten (10) business days following Tenant's objection to the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate (the "Outside Agreement Date"), then each party shall submit to the other party a separate written determination of the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate within ten (10) business days after the Outside Agreement Date, and such determinations shall be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Sections 4.1 through 4.7 below; provided, however, that if the Fair Market Rental Rate determination submitted by Landlord is less than the Fair Market Rental Rate originally provided by Landlord in Landlord's Option Rent Notice, Tenant shall thereafter have five (5) business days to accept such determination as the Opti on Rent in which event the arbitration proceedings in Sections 4.1 through 4.6 below shall not apply. Failure of Tenant or Landlord to submit a written determination of the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate within such ten (10) business day period shall conclusively be deemed to be the non-determining party's approval of the applicable Fair Market Rental Rate submitted within such ten (10) business day period by the other party.
4.1 Landlord and Tenant shall each appoint, one arbitrator who shall by profession be an independent real estate appraiser holding the professional designation as an MAI (or its equivalent) who has no financial interest in Landlord or Tenant and who shall have been active over the five (5) year period ending on the date of such appointment in the appraisal rental purposes of rentals of space in first-class office buildings in San Mateo County, California ("Comparable Buildings"). The determination of the arbitrators shall be limited solely to the issue of whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is the closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate as determined by the arbitrators, taking into account the requirements of Section 2 of this Extension Rider. Each such arbitrator shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the applicable Outside Agreement Date.
4.2 The two (2) arbitrators so appointed shall within ten (10) business days of the date of the appointment of the last appointed arbitrator agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator who shall be qualified under the same criteria as set forth hereinabove for qualification of the initial two (2) arbitrators, except that the third arbitrator shall not have been previously engaged by Landlord or Tenant for any purpose.
H-2
4.3 The three (3) arbitrators shall conduct a hearing within twenty (20) days after the appointment of the third arbitrator and within ten (10) days thereafter reach a decision as to which of the Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate, and the arbitrators shall use whichever of Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate is closest to the actual Fair Market Rental Rate to be paid during the Option Term and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
4.4 The decision of the majority of the three (3) arbitrators shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
4.5 If either Landlord or Tenant fails to appoint an arbitrator within thirty (30) days after the Outside Agreement Date, and if such failure shall continue for an additional fifteen (15) days after written notice thereof is received by the non-appointing party, the arbitrator appointed by one of them shall reach a decision, notify Landlord and Tenant thereof, and such arbitrator's decision shall be binding upon Landlord and Tenant.
4.6 If the two (2) arbitrators fail to agree upon and appoint a third arbitrator within the time period provided in Section 4.2 above, then the parties shall mutually select the third arbitrator. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon the third arbitrator within ten (10) days, then either party may, upon at least five (5) days' prior written notice to the other party, request the Presiding Judge of the San Mateo County Superior Court, acting in his private and nonjudicial capacity, to appoint the third arbitrator. Following the appointment of the third arbitrator, the panel of arbitrators shall within thirty (30) days thereafter reach a decision as to whether Landlord's or Tenant's submitted Fair Market Rental Rate shall be used and shall notify Landlord and Tenant thereof.
4.7 The cost of the arbitrators and the arbitration proceeding shall be paid by Landlord and Tenant equally, except that each party shall pay for the cost of its own witnesses and attorneys.
