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: 1. Sale of the Property. 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 one (1) business day 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 3145, San Francisco, California 94111 (Attention: Mr. Bill Waite) ("Title Company" or "Escrow Holder") the amount of Three Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($350,000) as an initial deposit (the "Initial Deposit"). The Title Company shall cause the Initial Deposit to be placed into an interest bearing bank account reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller. 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 on the Agreement Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on December 22, 2000, which date may be extended at Buyer's sole option to December 27, 2000 (the "Conditions Period").

If Buyer fails to deliver 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 1 <PAGE> have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for the indemnities contained in Sections 4.4 and 16 below, Buyer's covenants made herein which are expressly intended to survive any such termination and Buyer's obligations under Section 4.3 below to deliver to Seller the Due Diligence Materials (defined below) (collectively, "Buyer's Surviving Obligations"). 2.2 Additional Deposit. Unless Buyer notifies Seller prior to 5:00 ------------------ p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Approval Date that there are Pre-Closing Conditions (defined below) remaining unsatisfied and that Buyer will not waive such conditions (any such notice shall serve as a termination of this Agreement), (i) at the end of the Conditions Period the Initial Deposit shall become non- refundable to Buyer, and (ii) within one (1) business day after the Approval Date Buyer shall place on deposit into the Escrow Account, the amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) 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, or, at Buyer's election, if Seller fails to complete the sale of the Property by reason of any default of Seller pursuant to Section 5.2. If Buyer fails to deliver the Additional 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 Buyer's Surviving Obligations. The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit shall be applied to the Purchase Price at the Closing. The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit, together with any interest thereon, are collectively referred to herein as the "Deposits." 3. Purchase Price. The purchase price for the Property is Nineteen Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($19,200,000) (the "Purchase Price"), as such amount may be adjusted for prorations in accordance with the provisions of Section 14 below. At the Closing, the balance of the Purchase Price remaining after deduction for the Deposits, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller in cash, in immediately available funds via wire transfer. 4. Conditions to Parties' Obligations. 4.1 Buyer's Pre-Closing Conditions. Buyer's obligations under this ------------------------------ Agreement shall be subject to the satisfaction of or 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; Survey. ------------- 4.1.1.1 If not already delivered prior to the Agreement Date, within five (5) business 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 referred to therein issued by the Title Company (collectively, the "Title Report"). Buyer shall have a period of twenty-five (25) days after the Agreement Date to either 2 <PAGE> approve of any ALTA Survey (whether received from Seller or contracted for by Buyer at Buyer's sole cost and expense) and the exceptions (if any) contained in the Title Report, or to notify Seller in writing, specifying any exceptions to which Buyer objects in either the ALTA Survey or the Title Report ("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 Buyer 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 those specified exceptions which Seller has expressly agreed to remove in either this Agreement or in the Title Response Notice within the specified period shall be deemed to be a failure of this condition, in which event the Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposits (to the extent made) shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for the Buyer'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 exist other than current taxes and assessments. 4.1.1.2 New Exceptions. If this Agreement is not terminated -------------- pursuant to Section 4.3 below, and after the Approval Date but prior to Closing the Title Company informs Buyer that it has or intends to schedule as title exceptions to the ALTA Title Policy (as defined below) any additional matters not previously included in the Title Report (other than the permitted exceptions approved by Buyer and such matters, if any, that are created or caused by Buyer) which are either monetary liens or which, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, would have a material adverse effect on the Property or on Buyer's intended development of the Property (any such matters being referred to herein as the "New Exceptions"), then Buyer may by written notice to Seller request that the New Exceptions be removed. Seller shall be under no obligation to cause the New Exceptions to be removed; provided, however, that if Seller is unable or unwilling to remove the New Exceptions on or before the Closing, and Buyer does not withdraw its objections in writing, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement for a failure of condition, in which event the Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposits (to the extent made) shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for the Buyer's Surviving Obligations. 4.1.2 Physical Inspections. Within five (5) business days after -------------------- the Agreement Date, but only to the extent (a) the same is actually in Seller's or Seller's property manager's possession, or, to the extent Seller has the legal right to obtain a copy of same, in the possession of Seller's consultant previously hired to prepare such report(s), and (b) said report(s) has not already been delivered to Buyer by Seller prior to the Agreement Date, Seller will either deliver to Buyer, or, at absolutely no cost or liability to Seller, will use 3 <PAGE> commercially reasonable efforts to assist Buyer to obtain from Seller's consultant, in either event 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 all 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 disturb 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 for itself and on behalf of its consultants and contractors, or 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 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 investigations of the physical condition, including without limitation, the environmental condition of the Property. Buyer also shall have the right to contact any governmental agency with respect to any Hazardous Materials on, or the environmental condition of, the Property, including, without limitation, in connection with a "Phase I" environmental report. Prior to any such contact, 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], and shall afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to have a representative of Seller present to accompany Buyer while Buyer contacts any such governmental agency. In addition, prior to any entry to perform any necessary on-site inspections, tests or investigations with respect to the physical condition of the Property, 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 4 <PAGE> or investigations, including, without limitation, the soil, drainage and seismic condition of the Property, its compliance with applicable laws, codes, regulations and governmental approvals, and the zoning, availability of utilities and feasibility of the Property for the use intended by Buyer. 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. Seller's 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 Seller's approval thereof, except to the extent said proposed inspections, tests or investigations relate to "Phase II" environmental matters, in which event Seller's 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 Seller's disapproval thereof. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason other than due to a default by Seller, 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, provided, however, that any such delivery shall be made without representation or warranty of any kind as to the thoroughness or accuracy of any information contained therein or Seller's ability to rely thereon. 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 or disapproval of any such evaluations, inspections and investigations. 4.1.3 Plans, Permits, Reports and Related Information.

Seller shall have until one (1) business day prior to the Approval Date to notify Buyer, in writing, of its agreement to lawfully terminate such Disapproved Contracts prior to the Closing, with such Disapproved Contracts being terminated effective on or before the Closing. Those Contracts not expressly disapproved by Buyer and those Disapproved Contracts which Seller has advised Buyer it will not terminate at or prior to the Closing (collectively, the "Approved Contracts") shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer at the Closing.

Said certificates shall be substantially in the form (i) prescribed in such tenants' leases, or (ii) of the Tenant Estoppel Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit F, and made a part hereof, as applicable (provided, --------- however, that in the event that a tenant returns its estoppel certificate with Section 12 altered, deleted, or marked out, the same shall still qualify as having been properly delivered by Buyer) (the "Estoppel Certificates"). Buyer shall be deemed to have approved each of the Estoppel Certificates so long as, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, there are no material defaults specified therein and no material deviations between the information specified in said estoppel certificates and the leases to which such estoppel certificates relate. If Seller is unable to provide Buyer with Estoppel Certificates from all of the tenants of the Property, Seller may elect to extend the Estoppel Delivery Date and the Closing Date for a period of up to an additional thirty (30) days in order to obtain said missing Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, of its election by the Estoppel Delivery Date and shall specify therein the extended estoppel delivery date (the "Extended Estoppel Delivery Date") and the extended Closing Date.

Buyer shall notify Seller of its disapproval or approval of the Estoppel Certificates and, if applicable, of its election under clauses (a) or (b) hereof, in writing, by the earlier of the date which is two (2) business days after Seller's delivery to Buyer of the required number of Estoppel Certificates or the Estoppel Delivery Date or the Extended Estoppel Delivery Date, as the case may be. 4.2.1.2 Seller's Delivery of Closing Documents. Seller shall -------------------------------------- have delivered to Escrow Holder or Buyer, as appropriate, all of the documents referred to in Section 7 <PAGE> 6.4.1 below, and Seller otherwise shall not be in material default of its obligations hereunder. 4.2.1.3 Delivery of Title Policy. At the Closing, if Buyer has ------------------------ timely delivered to the Title Company an ALTA Survey in insurable form reasonably acceptable to the Title Company, the Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue to Buyer the ALTA Policy (defined below). Alternatively, if Buyer has not timely delivered to the Title Company an ALTA Survey in insurable form reasonably acceptable to the Title Company, the Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue to Buyer the CLTA Title Policy (defined below). The ALTA Policy or the CLTA Title Policy, as the case may be, shall be subject only to (i) a lien for real property taxes and assessments not then delinquent; (ii) matters of title respecting the Real Property approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; and (iii) matters affecting the condition of title to the Real Property created or permitted by, or with the written consent of, Buyer or its agents, representatives, consultants or contractors (collectively, the "Permitted Exceptions"). 4.2.1.4 Representations.

If any or all of the Pre-Closing --------------------- Conditions are not satisfied or waived within the applicable time periods specified in Section 4.1 above, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller on or before the expiration of said time periods. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further liability or obligation to each other, except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if Buyer terminates this Agreement for failure of a Pre-Closing Condition or for any other reason other than a termination due to a default by Seller, within ten (10) days after such termination Buyer shall deliver to Seller a copy of all materials, tests, audits, surveys, reports, studies and the results of any and all investigations and inspections conducted by Buyer (excluding any proprietary materials) (collectively, the "Buyer's Documents") and Buyer shall also return to Seller any and all documents, leases, agreements, reports and other materials given to Buyer by or on behalf of Seller (collectively, the "Seller's Documents") (the Buyer's Documents and the Seller's Documents are collectively referred to herein as the "Due Diligence Materials"). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if Buyer terminates this Agreement as a result of a default by Seller, Buyer shall not be obligated to deliver the Buyer's Documents to Seller upon or after such termination. The foregoing covenants of Buyer shall survive any such termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the Approval Date, (i) the Initial Deposit shall become non-refundable to Buyer, and (ii) within one (1) business day after the Approval Date, Buyer shall deposit into the Escrow Account, the Additional Deposit which shall also become non-refundable to Buyer subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the Buyer's Closing Conditions. The funding by Buyer of the Additional Deposit shall conclusively constitute Buyer's approval of the Pre-Closing Conditions. If the Pre-Closing Conditions are satisfied or waived by Buyer but any or all of the Buyer's Closing Conditions are not satisfied or waived by Buyer on or before the date established for the Closing, then Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of those Buyer's Closing Conditions which have not been satisfied or otherwise waived by Buyer (the "Buyer's Closing Conditions Failure Notice"). Seller shall have three (3) business days after Buyer has delivered to Seller the Buyer's Closing Conditions Failure Notice (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary to give Seller such three (3) business day period) to notify Buyer in writing of Seller's election either to (a) take such actions as may be necessary to cure such matters to Buyer's reasonable satisfaction prior to the date of Closing (as same may be extended), or (b) advise Buyer that Seller will not cure such matters (the "Seller's Conditions Notice"). 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; (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, 4.2.1.4 or 4.2.1.6 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 further obligations 9 <PAGE> hereunder except for Buyer'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 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. 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 within the specified time periods set forth herein, shall be deemed an approval by Buyer of each such matter, in which event all such 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 and pursue the remedy available to it pursuant to Section 5.1 below. 4.4 Investigations Indemnity. Buyer shall keep the Property free from ------------------------ all liens and shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Seller), protect, and hold Seller and each of the parties comprising Seller and each of their members, officers, trustees, employees, representatives, agents, lenders, related and affiliated entities, successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, judgments, penalties, losses, costs, damages, and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' and experts' fees and costs) relating to or arising in any manner whatsoever from any studies, evaluations, inspections, investigations or tests made by Buyer or Buyer's agents or representatives relating to or in connection with the Property or entries by Buyer or its agents or representatives in, on or about the Property; provided, Buyer shall not be liable to Seller under the foregoing indemnity solely as a result of the discovery by Buyer of a pre- existing condition in or on the Property. 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, if the delivery of the Grant Deed and the transfer of title occurs, the indemnity obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Section 4.4 shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months from the Closing Date. In addition 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. 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. 5. Remedies/Liquidated Damages. 5.1 Buyer's Default. If Buyer fails to complete the purchase of the --------------- Property as provided in this Agreement solely by reason of any material default of Buyer (and not due to a failure of a condition precedent), Seller shall be released from its obligation to sell the Property to Buyer. Buyer and Seller hereby 10 <PAGE> Acknowledge And Agree That It Would Be Impractical And/or Extremely Difficult To Fix Or Establish The Actual Damage Sustained By Seller As A Result Of Such Default By Buyer, And Agree That The Deposits (Including All Interest) And The Delivery To Seller By Buyer Of The Due Diligence Materials Is A Reasonable Approximation Thereof. Accordingly, In The Event That Buyer Breaches This Agreement By Defaulting In The Completion Of The Purchase, The Deposits (Including All Interest) And The Delivery To Seller By Buyer Of The Due Diligence Materials Shall Constitute And Be Deemed To Be The Agreed And Liquidated Damages Of Seller, And Shall Be Paid By Buyer To Seller And The Title Company As Seller's Sole And Exclusive Remedy. Seller Agrees To Waive All Other Remedies Against Buyer Which Seller Might Otherwise Have At Law Or In Equity, Including, Without Limitation, Specific Performance, Which Remedy Seller Hereby Expressly Waives, By Reason Of Such Default By Buyer; Provided, However, The Foregoing Shall Not Limit (I) Buyer's Obligations To Pay To Seller All Attorneys' Fees And Costs Of Seller To Enforce The Provisions Of This Section 5.1 And/or Buyer's Indemnity Obligations Under Sections 4.4 And 16 Hereof, (Ii) Buyer's Indemnity Obligations Under Sections 4.4 And 16 Hereof, Or (Iii) The Ability And Right Of Seller To Enforce Such Indemnities. Each Of The Payment Of The Deposits (Including All Interest), The Payment By Buyer Of All Escrow Cancellation Charges And Fees, And The Delivery To Seller By Buyer Of The Due Diligence Materials As Liquidated Damages Is Not Intended To Be A Forfeiture Or Penalty, But Is Intended To Constitute Liquidated Damages To Seller Pursuant To California Civil Code Sections 1671, 1676 And 1677. Seller's Initials: ___________ Buyer's Initials: ____________ 5.2 Seller's Default. If Seller Fails To Complete The Sale Of The ---------------- Property As Provided In This Agreement Solely By Reason Of Any Material Default Of Seller (And Not Due To A Failure Of A Condition Precedent), Buyer Shall Be Released From Its Obligation To Purchase The Property From Seller, And Buyer May Either (I) Proceed Against Seller By Bringing An Action For Specific Performance Under This Agreement Without Any Right To Seek Damages Of Any Kind Or Nature, Or (Ii) Terminate This Agreement In Which Event The Deposits Shall Be Returned To Buyer, Together With Buyer's Reasonable Out-of-pocket Expenses Incurred In Connection With Buyer's Due Diligence Up To (But Not Exceeding) Twenty-five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00), Seller Shall Be Responsible For Payment Of All Escrow Cancellation Charges And Fees, And Buyer Shall Promptly Return To Seller The Seller's Documents. Buyer And Seller Hereby Acknowledge And Agree That It Would Be Impractical And/or Extremely Difficult To Fix Or Establish The Actual Damage Sustained By Buyer As A Result Of Such Material Default By Seller, And Agree That The Remedy Set Forth In Clause (Ii) Above Is A Reasonable Approximation Thereof. Accordingly, In The Event That Seller Breaches This Agreement By Materially Defaulting In The Completion Of The Sale, And Buyer Elects Not To Exercise The Remedy Set Forth In Clause (I) Above But Instead Elects The Remedy Set Forth In Clause (Ii) Above, Such Sums Shall Constitute And Be Deemed To Be The Agreed And Liquidated Damages Of Buyer Which Is Not Intended To Be A Forfeiture Or Penalty, But Is Intended To Constitute Liquidated Damages To Buyer Pursuant To California Civil Code Sections 1671, 1676 And 1677. Buyer Agrees To, And Does Hereby, Waive All Other Remedies Against Seller Which Buyer Might Otherwise Have At Law Or In Equity By Reason Of Such Default By Seller In Failing To Complete The Sale Of The Property. 11 <PAGE> Nothing Herein Shall Be Deemed A Waiver Of Buyer's Right To Sue Seller For Damages For A Breach Or Default By Seller Of Its Obligations Under This Agreement, To The Extent Such Damages Do Not Arise Out Of Seller's Default In Failing To Complete The Sale Of The Property, So Long As Such Damages Do Not Exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000.00), And Provided That Any Claim, Action, Suit Or Proceeding With Respect To Any Such Alleged Breach Or Default By Seller Hereunder Shall Be Commenced, If At All, On Or Before The Date Which Is Six (6) Months After The Closing Date And, If Not So Commenced On Or Before Such Date, Thereafter Buyer Shall Be Forever Barred From Making Or Bringing Any Such Claim, Action, Suit Or Proceeding. Seller's Initials: ____________ Buyer's Initials: ____________ 6. Closing and Escrow. 6.1 Escrow Instructions. Upon execution of this Agreement, the parties ------------------- hereto shall deposit a copy of an executed counterpart of this Agreement with Escrow Holder and this instrument shall serve as the instructions to Escrow Holder for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. 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. 6.2 Date of Closing. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the --------------- parties, escrow shall close on or before 8:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the date which is fifteen (15) business days following the expiration of the Conditions Period, but in no event later than December 28, 2000 (the "Closing Date"), with time being of the essence. Such Closing Date may not be extended without the prior written approval of both Seller and Buyer, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement and, in particular, in Section 4.2.1.1 hereof. In the event the Closing does not occur on or before the Closing Date (as same may be extended) the Escrow Holder shall, unless it is notified by both parties to the contrary within three (3) days prior to the actual date on which the Closing occurs, return to the depositor thereof items which may have been deposited hereunder. Any such return shall not, however, relieve either party hereto of any liability it may have for its wrongful failure to close. 6.3 Conveyance. At Closing, Seller shall convey to Buyer fee simple ---------- title to the Property (excluding the Personal Property), by means of a grant deed in substantially the form of Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part --------- hereof ("Grant Deed"), subject to all applicable laws, rules, regulations, codes, ordinances and orders, and the Permitted Exceptions. The Closing shall mean the date that the Grant Deed is recorded in the official records of Santa Clara County, possession of the Property is delivered to Buyer, and Buyer fulfills all of its obligations hereunder. If Seller cannot so deliver title to the Property to Buyer, Buyer may, at its option, take title to the Property in such condition as Seller can then convey, without abatement of the Purchase Price or, at Buyer's option, Buyer may exercise its remedies in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.2 above. 6.4 Closing Documents. ----------------- 6.4.1 Seller's Closing Documents. At Closing, in addition to the -------------------------- Grant Deed (with the amount of the documentary transfer taxes affixed on a separate sheet to be attached to the Grant Deed after recordation), Seller shall deliver to Buyer, or Escrow Holder for delivery 12 <PAGE> to Buyer, all of the following documents: (i) originals or true and complete copies of the Approved Contracts, if any; (ii) two (2) counterparts of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly executed by Seller; (iii) two --------- (2) counterparts of the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts, Warranties and Permits in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, duly --------- executed by Seller; (iv) two (2) counterparts of a bill of sale (the "Bill of Sale") for the Personal Property, if any, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E and made a part hereof, duly executed by --------- Seller; (v) a certificate of non-foreign status in accordance with the requirements of Internal Revenue Code Section 1445, as amended ("FIRPTA Certificate") and a California Form 597-W with respect to the Property, duly executed by Seller; (vi) notices to the tenants with respect to the Leases, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit G and made a --------- part hereof, duly executed by Seller or Seller's property manager; and (vi) such other documents and instruments as may be reasonably required by the Title Company to consummate the transaction contemplated herein.

At Closing, in -------------------------------------- addition to Buyer's payment to Seller of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall deliver to Seller or Escrow Holder for delivery to Seller, as applicable, the following: (i) two (2) counterparts of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, duly --------- executed by Buyer; (ii) two (2) counterparts of the Assignment and Assumption of Contracts, Warranties and Permits in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, duly executed by Buyer; (iii) two (2) --------- counterparts of the Bill of Sale in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, duly executed by Buyer; and (iv) such other documents and --------- instruments as may be reasonably required by Seller or the Title Company to consummate the transaction contemplated herein. Buyer's timely making and delivery of the aforesaid funds, documents and information shall be a condition precedent to Seller's obligations under this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect hereto. 7. Interim Operation of the Property. 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). In no event shall Seller extend the term of any Lease. 7.2 From and after the Agreement Date, in no event shall Seller enter any new lease or other use agreement for the Property, nor modify or amend any existing Lease, without the prior written consent of Buyer, which may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion. 7.3 Seller shall not enter into any agreement after the Agreement Date to create a lien or encumbrance on the Property which will survive the Closing without Buyer's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that such -------- 13 <PAGE> consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed with respect to any utility or similar easement necessary for the operation of the Property. Seller also shall not enter into any modification, amendment or renewal of any Approved Contract from and after the Agreement Date without Buyer's prior written consent, which may be withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that without Buyer's consent, Seller for cause may (i) terminate any Approved Contract for any material default thereunder or enter a new contract which replaces an existing Approved Contract, provided that such new Approved Contract is on substantially the same terms as the Approved Contract being replaced with the same or shorter period for termination thereto (but in any event any replacement Approved Contract shall permit termination by the then owner of the Property without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days' notice), and provided further that Seller promptly notifies Buyer upon terminating any such Approved Contract or entering into any replacement Approved Contract. Buyer's consent shall be deemed withheld if Buyer does not respond in writing to Seller's request for said consent within three (3) business days thereafter. In addition, during the period from the Agreement Date through Closing, Seller promptly shall give notice to Buyer in writing of all actions or decisions by Seller materially affecting the Property, including without limitation creation of any liens or encumbrances or entering into of any Contracts that would survive Closing, and Seller shall give notice to Buyer in writing of any damage to the Real Property (including damage resulting from the use, storage, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Property by any tenant under the Leases) or destruction of any improvement thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property of which Seller shall have actual knowledge within one (1) business day of Seller's receipt of such actual knowledge. If Buyer is entitled to withhold its consent under this Section 7.3 to any action by Seller and does so withhold its consent, Seller shall not take the action not consented to. 8. Intentionally Omitted. 9. Seller's Maintenance of the Property. Between the Agreement Date and the Closing Date, Seller, at its expense, shall (i) maintain the Property in substantially the same condition as it was on the date of full execution hereof and in accordance with Seller's normal course of business, including making all routine repairs and replacements arising after the date hereof, 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, except that Seller shall not be relieved from any maintenance or repair obligation imposed by the Leases; 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 written 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 shall have confirmed in writing their obligation and the amount that they will so pay, 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. 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 apply all or any portion of any security deposits then held by Seller toward 14 <PAGE> 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 (including damage resulting from the use, storage, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Property by any tenant under the Leases) or destruction of any improvement thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, after the Approval Date, and the estimated cost of repairs is (i) Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) or less for structural repairs, and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000,00) or less for all repairs other than structural repairs, Buyer shall be required to purchase the Property with a credit against the Purchase Price otherwise due 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 any sums ---- expended by Seller prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of the Property and/or in collecting such insurance 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, and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and use diligent, good faith efforts to obtain such proceeds or awards. The foregoing obligation of Seller shall survive the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (i) the Property is damaged (including damage resulting from the use, storage, disposal or release of Hazardous Materials on, in or under the Property by any tenant under the Leases) or destroyed by a casualty, to the extent that the cost of repair or restoration to substantially the same condition existing prior to such casualty would exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) for structural repairs or One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for all repairs other than structural repairs, or (ii) in the case of a condemnation, the value of the Property or portion thereof so condemned is in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00), 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 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. 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 purchase the 15 <PAGE> Property, Buyer shall be obligated to consummate the purchase of the Property as required by the terms hereof, with a credit against the Purchase Price otherwise due 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 any sums expended by ---- Seller prior to the Closing for the restoration or repair of the Property and/or in collecting such insurance proceeds or condemnation awards. 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, and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and use diligent good faith efforts to obtain such proceeds or awards. The foregoing obligation of Seller shall survive the Closing. 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. (formerly known as Lincoln Property Company Management Services, Inc. and LPC MS, Inc.), have any personal liability under this Agreement, or to any of Buyer's creditors, or to any other party in connection with the Property. 12. Release. Buyer on its own behalf and on behalf of each of the Buyer Parties hereby agrees that each of Seller, Seller's partners or members, as the case may be, and each of their partners, members, trustees, directors, officers, employees, representatives, property managers, asset managers, agents, attorneys, affiliated and related entities, heirs, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Releasees") shall be, and are hereby, fully and forever released and discharged from any and all liabilities, losses, claims (including third party claims), demands, damages (of any nature whatsoever), causes of action, costs, penalties, fines, judgments, attorneys' fees, consultants' fees and costs and experts' fees (collectively, the "Claims") with respect to any and all Claims, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, that may arise on account of or in any way be connected with the Property including, without limitation, the physical, environmental and structural condition of the related Real Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including, without limitation, any Claim or matter (regardless of when it first appeared) relating to or arising from (i) the presence of any 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, and (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. 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. Sections 9601 et seq. and California Health and Safety Code Sections 25300 et seq. (as such laws and statutes may be amended, supplemented or replaced 16 <PAGE> from time to time), directly or indirectly, against the Releasees or their agents in connection with Claims described above and expressly waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code which provides: 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 and all similar provisions or rules of law. Buyer elects to and does assume all risk for such Claims heretofore and hereafter arising, whether now known or unknown by Buyer. The aforementioned release shall not include or be applicable to any Claims arising out of the entry into or performance of this Agreement by Seller nor any Claims directly resulting from or relating to a breach by Seller of any of the representations made in Section 26 hereof so long as any such Claim (in each instance) is made by Buyer within the six (6) month survival period specified in Section 26 below. After the expiration of said six (6) month period the aforementioned release will also include all Claims resulting from or relating to any breach by Seller of the representations made in Section 26 of this Agreement. 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 and 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 contained herein, if Buyer obtains actual knowledge of any material default by Seller or any breach or inaccuracy in any such representation of Seller which, in Buyer's reasonable judgment, would have a material adverse effect on the Property or on Buyer's intended development of the Property, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposits upon written notice to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer learns of such default or breach if, within five (5) days after Buyer's notice to Seller, Seller notifies Buyer in writing that Seller elects not to cure or remedy any such default or breach. Failure by Seller to so notify Buyer shall be deemed Seller's election not to cure or remedy any such default or breach. Upon such termination, the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for Buyer's Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, subject to Buyer's termination right, Seller shall not have any liability whatsoever to Buyer with respect 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 <PAGE> this Section 12 shall survive the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument or conveyance delivered at the Closing. Seller's Initials: _______________ Buyer's Initials: ______________ 13. AS-IS Condition of Property. 13.1 Buyer specifically acknowledges, represents and warrants that prior to Closing, it and its agents and representatives will have thoroughly inspected the Property and observed the physical characteristics and condition of the Property. By Buyer purchasing the Property and upon the occurrence of the Closing, Buyer waives any and all right or ability to make a claim of any kind or nature against any of the Releasees for any and all deficiencies or defects in the physical characteristics and condition of the Property which would be disclosed by such inspection and expressly agrees to acquire the Property with any and all of such deficiencies and defects and subject to all matters disclosed by Seller herein or in any separate writing with respect to the Property and/or disclosed in and set forth in the NHDS for the Property. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that except for any representations expressly made by Seller in Section 26 of this Agreement neither Seller or any of Seller's employees, agents or representatives have made any representations, warranties or agreements by or on behalf of Seller of any kind whatsoever, whether oral or written, express or implied, statutory or otherwise, as to any matters concerning the Property, the condition of the Property, the size of the Real Property, the size of the Improvements (including without limitation, any discrepancies in the actual rentable square footage of any leased premises within the Improvements), the present use of the Property or the suitability of Buyer's intended use of the Property. Buyer hereby acknowledges, agrees and represents that the Property is to be purchased, conveyed and accepted by Buyer in its present condition, "AS IS", "WHERE IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS, and that no patent or latent defect or deficiency in the condition of the Property whether or not known or discovered, shall affect the rights of either Seller or Buyer hereunder nor shall the Purchase Price be reduced as a consequence thereof.

Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not under any duty to make any inquiry regarding any matter that may or may not be known to the Seller or any member, partner, officer, employee, attorney, property manager, agent or broker of Seller. Seller's Initials: _____________ Buyer's Initials: _____________ 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 following the actual Closing Date to provide Buyer with a final reconciliation of Tenant Charges. Buyer shall have the right to review and give or withhold its approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, the final reconciliation within five (5) business days after receipt from Seller. If the approved 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 approved 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 approved final 19 <PAGE> reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the approved final reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate. After the approved 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, 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 in accordance with the terms of the applicable Leases; provided, however, that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to compel any tenant who has failed to restore its security deposit after any application thereof by Seller to restore such amount prior to Closing. Buyer and Seller shall execute an assignment in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller for any and all letters of credit posted by any of the tenants and Seller shall use all diligent efforts to cause the issuers of such letters of credit to consent thereto; provided, the receipt of such consents shall not be a condition precedent to -------- Buyer's obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is unable to obtain the issuers' consents to said assignments prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Buyer and assist Buyer to obtain said consents after the Closing Date. 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 reimbursements, 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 Closing. 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 Santa Clara County. Seller shall pay the documentary county transfer taxes, the premium charged by the Title Company for the CLTA Title Policy (excluding any endorsements thereto), and any escrow fees. 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 and if Buyer so elects in writing, Buyer shall timely provide the Title Company with an insurable ALTA Survey of 20 <PAGE> the Property (and as is reasonably acceptable to the Title Company), at Buyer's sole cost and expense (the "ALTA Policy"). At Closing, Buyer shall pay any and all costs and incremental premiums or other charges related to the ALTA Policy (including all endorsements thereto) and the recording fees. Each party shall be solely responsible for its own legal fees and costs. 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 Colliers International (the "Broker"). Buyer is solely responsible for payment of a brokerage commission to the Broker, the amount of which shall be as specified in the separate agreement between Buyer and the Broker. 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 Broker (payment of the Broker being Buyer'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. 16.2 Separate Representation.
