A. Seller is the owner of a business and commercial park in Livermore,
California commonly referred to as Shea Center, comprising approximately 300
acres, as more particularly described in Exhibit A-1 complete with all
privileges, rights, easements and appurtenances belonging to the real property,
all minerals, water, and oil, gas and other hydrocarbon substances, and all

B. The Land is subject to Tentative Parcel Map No. 7341 (the "TENTATIVE
MAP") and Development Agreement No. 114-97 For Cayetano Corporate Campus, dated
as of March 10, 1999, as amended, (the "DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT").
C. Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, a portion of
the Land (the "PROPERTY") consisting of approximately 31.5 acres of land, net of
roads, as shown on Exhibit A-2, the exact size of which will be determined and
agreed to by both parties during the Feasibility Period, on the terms and
conditions specified below.
D. Buyer desires to have an option to purchase from Seller and Seller
desires to grant Buyer an option to purchase the portion of the Land (the
"OPTION PROPERTY") consisting of approximately 12.2 acres of land, net of roads,
as shown on Exhibit A-3, the exact size of which will be determined and agreed
to by both parties during the Feasibility Period, upon the terms and conditions
specified below.
In this factual context and in consideration of the representations,
warranties and covenants in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows.
SECTION 1. PURCHASE AND SALE.
1.1 PROPERTY. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
Seller agrees to sell and Buyer agrees to purchase the Property.
1.2 TIF CREDITS AND OTHER IMPACT FEES. Seller has paid impact and other
fees and has performed work entitling it to certain credits against future fees,
including but not limited to traffic improvement fee credits, as more
particularly described in Schedule 1 to this Agreement. Before committing to pay
any impact or other fees in connection with obtaining entitlements or utility
agreements for Buyer's anticipated development of the Property, Buyer shall
purchase any of Seller's credits against future fees that it
<PAGE> 3
could use against its impact or other fees. The purchase price for the credits
shall be the price of the credits on the City of Livermore's then-existing fee
schedule at the time purchased. In furtherance of this provision, Buyer shall
provide Seller with ten (10) days written notice before applying for any
building permits in connection with the development of the Property.
1.3 PURCHASE PRICE. The total purchase price for the Property (the
"PURCHASE Price") shall be based on the size of the Property, as finally
determined by the parties, at a rate of Ten and 96/100 Dollars ($10.96) per
square foot.
1.4 PAYMENT. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
(a) Upon mutual execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit into
escrow the sum of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) in immediately available funds
(the "DEPOSIT"). If Buyer approves the Feasibility Conditions described in
Section 10.3 below within the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall deposit an
additional Two Hundred Ninety Thousand Dollars ($290,000) into escrow for a
total Deposit of Three Hundred Thousand Dollars ($300,000). The Deposit shall be
refundable for failure of any condition to Closing, except failures resulting
from Buyer's breach, together with interest actually earned while on deposit in
escrow. The Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase Price, with interest
actually earned while on deposit in escrow, at Closing.
(b) The balance of the Purchase Price (minus the Deposit) shall be paid
to Seller in immediately available funds at Closing.
SECTION 2 TITLE TO THE PROPERTY.
At the Closing, Seller shall convey to Buyer title to the real estate
portion of the Property by duly executed and acknowledged grant deed in a
standard title company form (the "GRANT DEED") together with a separate
(non-recordable) transfer tax declaration (the "TRANSFER TAX DECLARATION").
Conclusive evidence of delivery of marketable and insurable fee simple title
shall be the issuance by First American Title Insurance Company (the "TITLE
COMPANY") of an ALTA extended coverage policy of title insurance (the "TITLE
POLICY") in the amount of the purchase price for the Property insuring fee
simple title to the real estate portion of the Property in Buyer, subject only
to a lien for real property taxes and assessments not yet delinquent and such
other exceptions as have been approved by Buyer (the "APPROVED EXCEPTIONS") and
containing endorsements reasonably requested by Buyer. If, after the Closing,
Buyer shall discover any defect in title not covered by the representations and
warranties of Seller in Section 13.1, it shall look solely to the Title Policy
for any recovery.
The Approved Exceptions shall include but not be limited to (a) the
Repurchase Option and (b) covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements and
similar rights created with the consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer shall not
unreasonably withhold or delay. Buyer and Seller agree that it shall be
reasonable for Buyer to withhold its consent if Buyer reasonably determines that
such covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements or other rights will result
in the occurrence of any of the following:
2

shall be subject to extension for a period of more than one (1) year for Force
Majeure reasons, or otherwise: (i) a judicial order or ruling, or action by the
City or other governmental entity beyond the control of Buyer; (ii) a delay in
action by the City or other governmental entity beyond that reasonably expected,
which causes a delay, or denial in the (1) issuance of building, grading,
electrical, plumbing, water or sewer connection permit or other permits, (2)
approval or plans, or (3) actual on-site construction, which adversely effects
Buyer's day-to-day construction activities in a material way; or (iii) fire,
earthquake, explosion, flood, hurricane, the elements, acts of God or the public

repurchase price for the Property shall be the repurchase price for undeveloped
land set forth in Section 11.2(a) less the cost of demolition of any partial

partial improvements. The repurchase price shall be payable in cash at the close
of the Repurchase Escrow.
(iii) TITLE. Title to Repurchase Property shall be

14
<PAGE> 16
after the closing of the purchase of the Option Property, Buyer wishes to sell
all or any portion of the Option Property (the portions of the Property and/or
the Option Property which Buyer desires to sell shall be referred to as the
"OFFER PROPERTY") then, before offering the Offer Property to a third party,
Buyer shall first offer Seller the opportunity to acquire the Offer Property.
Buyer shall provide Seller with a written notice of the economic terms and
conditions upon which it is willing to transfer the Offer Property (the "OFFER
NOTICE"). Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days in which to notify
Buyer of its agreement to acquire the Offer Property.
11.2 REPURCHASE PRICE.
(a) If at the time of the Offer Notice no buildings have yet been
constructed on the Offer Property, the repurchase price for the Offer Property
shall be the portion of the Purchase Price attributable to the Offer Property
plus the amount of any capital expenditures made by Buyer with respect to the
Offer Property (together, the "BUYER'S CAPITAL COSTS") plus fifty percent (50%)
of the difference between (i) Buyer's Capital Costs and (ii) the fair market
value of the Offer Property at the time of the repurchase (the "MARKET VALUE).
If Buyer and Seller are unable to agree upon the Market Value of the Offer
Property, at 10:00 a.m. on the 10th day after Seller notifies Buyer of its
intent to exercise the Repurchase Option, Buyer and Seller shall each
simultaneously exchange with the other a sealed envelope with a written
determination of the fair market value of the Offer Property. If only one
valuation is submitted within the requisite time period, the fair market value
contained in that valuation shall be the Market Value and shall be final and
binding on the parties. If both valuations are timely submitted and they differ
by less than 5% of the lower of the two, the average of the two valuations shall
be the Market Value and shall be final and binding on the parties. If the two
valuations differ by more than 5% of the lower of the two, the parties shall
select a neutral appraiser (the "REFEREE") within 20 days thereafter. The
parties shall deliver copies of both valuations to the Referee along with each
parties comparables and other data providing the basis for its valuation, and
the Referee shall select, within 5 days after receipt, the valuation which he or
she believes most accurately represents the fair market value of the Offer
Property and the selected valuation shall be the Market Value and shall be final
and binding on the parties. The Referee appointed pursuant to this Section shall
be a member of the American Institute of Appraisers with not less than 10 years
experience appraising similar properties. The cost of the Referee shall be borne
equally by the parties.
(b) If at the time of the Offer Notice improvements have been
constructed on the Offer Property, the repurchase price shall be the purchase
price stated in the Offer Notice.
11.3 ACCEPTANCE OF OFFER NOTICE, SALE TO THIRD PARTY. If Seller notifies
Buyer of its acceptance of the Offer Notice, then Seller shall have ninety (90)
days from the date of the acceptance to close escrow. If Seller has not notified
Buyer of its acceptance within the thirty-day period, then Buyer may, for a
period of one hundred eighty (180) days, enter into a binding agreement to
transfer the Offer Property to the third party or its assignee and shall not be
required to re-offer the Offer Property to Seller unless the net present value
of all of the economic terms to Buyer in the proposed transaction is less than
ninety-five percent (95%) of the net present value of
15
<PAGE> 17
the economic terms to Buyer in the transaction offered to Seller. If the Offer
Property is not subject to a binding agreement of sale or transfer within the
two hundred and ten (210) days from the Offer Notice, it shall again be subject
to the provisions of this Section. The net present value shall be calculated on
a monthly basis using a discount rate of nine percent (9%) per annum. All of the
non-economic terms not stated in the Offer Notice shall be those customary for a
similar type of property transaction, with any disagreement over the
non-economic terms settled by arbitration before a single arbitrator in
accordance with the Arbitration procedures in the California Code of Civil
Procedure.

election of directors or other governing authority, as of the date of this
Agreement or hereafter or (B) resulting from a merger or consolidation involving
substantially all of Buyer's business (each, an "AFFILIATE") nor (ii) a
sale/lease-back transaction in which Buyer remains as a tenant on the Offer
Property for not less than seven (7) years, shall trigger Seller's repurchase
rights under the provisions of this Section 11.
SECTION 12. LOSS BY CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION.
12.1 RISK OF LOSS. In the event of any casualty (including for example
and not by way of limitation landslide or other earth movement) which would
cause the loss of any of the developable portions of the real estate portion of
Property, the Purchase Price shall be reduced proportionately based on the
reduction in square footage of building area that can be constructed on the
Property. In the event of any casualty which would cause the loss of 10% or more
of the developable portions of the real estate portion of Property, Buyer shall
have the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written
notice to Seller within ten days after the casualty, in which event neither
party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except as
otherwise specifically provided herein.
12.2 CONDEMNATION. If, prior to the Closing Date, any proceedings are
commenced to take all or any part of the real estate portion of the Property by
eminent domain, or any individual or entity with the power of eminent domain
threatens to take all or any part of the real estate portion of the Property
which would result in the loss of 10% or more of the developable portions of the
real estate portion of the Property, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole
discretion, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within ten
days after delivery of Seller's notice of any pending or threatened condemnation
proceeding, in which event neither party shall have any further obligations
under this Agreement except as otherwise specifically provided herein. If Buyer
does not elect to terminate, Buyer shall have the right to participate in the
proceedings in order to attempt to maximize the amount of the award, minimize
the adverse impact of the taking on the Property and otherwise protect its
interests. If the
16
<PAGE> 18
taking is completed before Closing, the real estate portion of the Property
taken shall be excluded from the Property and the Purchase Price shall be
adjusted accordingly. If the taking is not completed until after Closing, the
Purchase Price shall be calculated including the real estate portion of the
Property to be taken and Seller shall deliver to Buyer at Closing all amounts
received on account of the award, together with an assignment of all of Seller's
right, title and interest in and to the award for the taking. Seller shall
notify Buyer in writing promptly upon receipt of notice, and in any event prior
to Closing, of any pending or threatened condemnation proceeding against all or
any part of the real estate portion of the Property. Seller shall request that
the condemning authority allocate any award between the real estate portion of
the Property and any other property which is the subject of the condemnation.
