WHEREAS, the Seller and the Purchaser have entered into negotiations
wherein the Purchaser expressed its intent to purchase the Property (as defined

Property to the Purchaser; and
WHEREAS, the Seller and the Purchaser now desire to enter into an
agreement whereby, subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, the
Seller shall sell the Property to the Purchaser and the Purchaser shall
purchase the Property from the Seller.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of ten ($10.00) dollars and the
mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Sale of the Property.
The Seller agrees to sell and convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees
to purchase from the Seller, at the price and upon the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement, all those certain plots, pieces and parcels of land
described in Schedule 1 hereto (the "Land") listed thereon as owned by the

Seller pertaining to the Land and the Buildings, (iii) all right, title and
interest of the Seller in and to all fixtures, machinery, equipment, supplies

tenants under the Leases) and the items described in Schedule 2 annexed hereto
and made a part hereof.

The delivery of the Deed and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement (the "Closing") shall take place at the Los
Angeles, California or other local California offices of the Escrow Agent at

The purchase price to be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller for the
Property (the "Purchase Price") is Twenty- Six Million Seven Hundred
Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($26,700,000.00) payable as follows:
(a) Five Hundred Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($500,000.00)
Dollars (the "Downpayment") shall be payable simultaneously with the execution

account or accounts of such other party or parties as may be designated by the
Seller on or before the Closing Date.
3. Apportionments
The following shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Purchaser at
the Closing as of 11:59 p.m. of the day preceding the Closing Date (the
"Adjustment Date"):
(a) fixed or base rents ("Rents") which have been prepaid, security
deposits referred to in Section 8(e), Rents for the month in which the Closing
occurs and Additional Rents and other amounts paid by tenants applicable to
periods which expire after the Closing Date, which have been received by
Seller;
(b) real estate taxes, special assessments (but only any installment
relating to the period in which the Adjustment Date occurs), water charges,
sewer rents and charges and vault charges, if any, on the basis of the fiscal
years (or applicable billing period if other than a fiscal year), respectively,
for which same have been assessed;
(c) value of prepaid fuel belonging to the Seller stored on the
Property, at the Seller's cost, including any taxes, on the basis of a
statement from the Seller's suppliers;
(d) charges and payments under Contracts that are being assigned
to the Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and listed on Schedule
3 hereto or permitted renewals or replacements thereof;
(e) any prepaid items, including, without limitation, fees for
licenses which are transferred to the Purchaser at the Closing and annual
permit and inspection fees;
(f) utilities, to the extent required by Section 3.4;
(g) deposits with telephone and other utility companies, and any
other persons or entities who supply goods or services in connection with the
Property if same are assigned to the Purchaser at the Closing;
(h) personal property taxes, if any, on the basis of the fiscal year
for which assessed;
(i) all other revenues from the operation of the Property other than
Rents and Additional Rents (including, without limitation, parking charges,

booth and vending machine revenues);
(j) New Lease Expenses as provided in Section 10.1.2; and
(k) such other items as are customarily apportioned between sellers
and purchasers of real properties of a type similar to the Property and located
in Los Angeles County, California.
3.1. Taxes.
If the amount of real estate taxes, special assessments or other taxes
for the Property for the fiscal year during which Closing occurs is not finally
determined at the Adjustment Date, such taxes shall be apportioned on the basis
of the full amount of the assessment for such period (or the assessment for the
prior tax period if the assessment for the current tax period is not then
known) and the rate for the immediately prior tax year, and shall be
reapportioned as soon as the new tax rate and valuation, if any, has been
finally determined. If any taxes which have been apportioned shall
subsequently be reduced by abatement, the amount of such abatement, less the
cost of obtaining the same and after deduction of sums payable to tenants under
Leases or expired or terminated Leases, shall be equitably apportioned between
the parties hereto.
3.2. Rents.
3.2.1. Arrearages.
If on the Closing Date any tenant is in arrears in the payment
of Rent or has not paid the Rent payable by it for the month in which the
Closing occurs (whether or not it is in arrears for such month on the Closing
Date), any Rents received by the Purchaser or the Seller from such tenant after
the Closing shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such tenant in the
manner specified by such tenant, provided, that, if the tenant does not so
specify, such Rents shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such tenant
during the following periods in the following order of priority: (i) first, to
the month in which the Closing occurred, (ii) second, to the months following
the month in which the Closing occurred, and (iii) third, to the months
preceding the month in which the Closing occurred. If Rents or any portion
thereof received by the Seller or the Purchaser after the Closing are due and
payable to the other party by reason of this allocation, the appropriate sum,
less a proportionate share of any reasonable attorneys' fees and costs and
expenses expended in connection with the collection thereof, (to the extent
not collected from or reimbursed by tenants) shall be promptly paid to the
other party.
3.2.2. Additional Rents.
If any tenants are required to pay percentage rent, escalation
charges for real estate taxes, parking charges, operating expenses and
maintenance escalation charges, cost-of-living increases or other charges of a
similar nature ("Additional Rents") and any Additional Rents are collected by
the Purchaser or the Seller from a tenant after the Closing Date, then such
Additional Rents shall be applied to amounts due and payable by such tenant
in the manner specified by such tenant, provided, that, if the tenant does
not so specify, such Additional Rents shall be applied to amounts due and
payable by such tenant during the following periods in the following order of
priority: (i) first, to the month in which the Closing occurred, (ii) second,
to the months following the month in which the Closing occurred, and (iii)
third, to the months preceding the month in which the Closing occurred. If
Additional Rents or any portion thereof received by the Seller or the Purchaser
after the Closing are due and payable to the other party by reason of this
allocation, the appropriate sum, less a proportionate share of any reasonable
attorneys' fees and costs and expenses expended in connection with the
collection thereof, (to the extent not collected from or reimbursed by tenants)
shall be promptly paid to the other party.
3.2.3. Collection After the Closing.
After the Closing, the Seller shall continue to have the right,
in its own name, to demand payment of and to collect Rent and Additional Rent
arrearages owed to the Seller by any tenant, which right shall include, without
limitation, the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings
against any tenant (but which right shall specifically exclude any right to
terminate any Lease). The Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Seller in
connection with all efforts by the Seller to collect such Rents and Additional
Rents and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing Date, as may
be reasonably necessary to carry out the intention of the foregoing, including,
without limitation, the delivery to the Seller, upon demand, of any relevant
books and records (including any Rent or Additional Rent statements, receipted
bills and copies of tenant checks used in payment of such Rent or Additional
Rent), the execution of any and all consents or other documents, and the
undertaking of any act reasonably necessary for the collection of such Rents
and Additional Rents by the Seller, provided, that the cooperation required
pursuant to this sentence shall not require the Purchaser to incur any costs or
initiate any legal action against any tenant.
If for any fiscal period which includes the Adjustment Date tenants are paying
Additional Rent based upon estimates prepared by the Seller, such Additional
Rents shall be reapportioned when the actual expenses for the fiscal period are
known.
3.3. Water.
If there is a water meter on the Property, the Seller shall furnish a
reading to a date not more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date, and
the unfixed water charges and sewer rent, if any, based thereon for the
intervening time shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading.
3.4. Utilities.
The Seller will attempt to obtain final cut-off readings of fuel,
telephone, electricity, and gas to be made as of the Adjustment Date. The
Seller shall pay the bills based on such readings promptly after the same are
rendered.
If arrangements cannot be made for any such cut-off reading, the parties shall
apportion the charges for such services on the basis of the bill therefor for
the most recent billing period prior to the Adjustment Date, and when final
bills are rendered for the period which includes the Adjustment Date the
Seller and Purchaser shall promptly readjust the apportionments in accordance
with such final bills.
3.5. Post-Closing Adjustments.
The items set forth in this Section 3 shall be apportioned at the
Closing by payment of the net amount of such apportionments to the
Seller in the manner set forth herein for the payment of the
Purchase Price if the net apportionment is in favor of the Seller or
by a credit against the Purchase Price if the net apportionment is
in favor of the Purchaser. However, if any of the items subject
to apportionment under the foregoing provisions of this Section 3 cannot be
apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the information
necessary to compute such apportionment, or if any errors or omissions in
computing apportionments at the Closing are discovered subsequent to the
Closing, then such item shall be reapportioned and such errors and omissions
corrected as soon as practicable after the Closing Date and the proper party
reimbursed, which obligation shall survive the Closing for a period of one year
after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of
this Section 3.5 to the contrary, the Purchaser and the Seller agree that the
one year limitation set forth in this Section 3.5 shall not apply to the
parties' obligations under Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and that such obligations
shall survive the Closing forever.
4. Due Diligence Period.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Purchaser
shall have a thirty-one (31) day period commencing on the date hereof (the
"Due Diligence Period") to examine title to the Property, to inspect the
physical and financial condition of the Property and to review the Property
Information.
Neither the Purchaser nor the Purchaser's Representatives shall contact any
governmental authority or any of the Seller's tenants, vendors, employees,
consultants or contractors prior to the Closing without (i) providing one (1)
day's advance notice (which notice may be telephonic) of each such proposed
contact to the Seller, and (ii) providing the Seller and/or its representatives
an opportunity to be present at the time of any such contact.
4.1. Access to the Property.
During the Due Diligence Period, the Purchaser and the Purchaser's
Representatives shall have the right to enter upon the Property for the sole
purpose of inspecting the Property and making surveys, soil borings,
engineering tests and other investigations, inspections and tests
(collectively, "Investigations"), provided (i) the Purchaser shall give the
Seller not less than one (1) business days' prior written notice before each
entry, (ii) the first such notice shall include sufficient information to
permit the Seller to review the scope of the proposed Investigations, and (iii)
neither the Purchaser nor the Purchaser's Representatives shall permit any
borings, drillings or samplings to be done on the Property without the Seller's
prior written consent. Any entry upon the Property and all Investigations
shall be during the Seller's normal business hours and at the sole risk and
expense of the Purchaser and the Purchaser's Representatives, and shall not
interfere with the activities on or about the Property of the Seller, its
tenants and their employees and invitees. The Purchaser shall:
(a) promptly repair any damage to the Property resulting
from any such Investigations and replace, refill and regrade any holes made in,
or excavations of, any portion of the Property used for such Investigations so
that the Property shall be in the same condition as that which existed prior
to such Investigations;
(b) fully comply with all Laws applicable to the
Investigations and all other activities undertaken in connection therewith;
(c) permit the Seller to have a representative present during
all Investigations undertaken hereunder;
(d) take all actions and implement all protections necessary
to ensure that all actions taken in connection with the Investigations, and the
equipment, materials, and substances generated, used or brought onto the
Property pose no threat to the safety or health of persons or the environment,
and cause no damage to the Property or other property of the Seller or other
persons;
(e) if requested by the Seller, furnish to the Seller, at no
cost or expense to the Seller, copies of all surveys, soil test results,
engineering, asbestos, environmental and other studies and reports prepared by
third parties relating to the Investigations which the Purchaser shall obtain
with respect to the Property promptly after the Purchaser's receipt of same;
(f) maintain or cause to be maintained, at the Purchaser's
expense, a policy of comprehensive general public liability insurance with a
combined single limit of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily
injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned and
hired vehicles with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence for
bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy for
bodily injury and property damage in the minimum amount of $3,000,000,
insuring the Purchaser and the Seller and certain of Seller's Affiliates listed
on Schedule 4, as additional insureds, against any injuries or damages to
persons or property that may result from or are related to (i) the Purchaser's
and/or the Purchaser's Representatives' entry upon the Property, (ii) any
Investigations or other activities conducted thereon, and (iii) any and all
other activities undertaken by the Purchaser and/or the Purchaser's
Representatives in connection with the Property, and deliver evidence of such
insurance policy to the Seller at the earlier of ten (10) days after the date
of this Agreement or the first entry on the Property; and
(g) not, at any time, contact or communicate with any tenant
of the Property for any reason whatsoever without the prior written approval of
the Seller, which communications, whether by telephone, in writing or in
person, Seller or its designee shall have the right to be present at or
otherwise participate in.
The provisions of this Section 4.1 shall survive the termination of
this Agreement and the Closing.
4.2. Purchaser's Termination Notice.
Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of this Section 4.2,
the Purchaser shall have the right to elect to terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice (the "Purchaser's Termination
Notice") of such election to the Seller at any time prior to the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period if the Purchaser shall
determine (in the exercise of its reasonable discretion) that any
of the following conditions to termination are met as of the date of the
Purchaser's Termination Notice, in which event the provisions of Section 14.1
shall apply:
(a) The Purchaser shall have determined, based upon a site
assessment study conducted at Purchaser's sole expense by a qualified
engineering firm proposed by Purchaser and approved by Seller that there is
oil, hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous or toxic waste, or
friable and accessible asbestos-containing materials present (i) on or under
the Property in an amount which would require remediation under Applicable
Environmental Law, or (ii) on or under any real property adjacent to the
Property and upgradient from the Property (and in the case of this clause (ii),
such engineering firm shall have determined that there is a high probability
of such adjacent property contamination spreading to the Property and having a
material adverse impact on the value of the Property).
(b) The Purchaser shall have determined, based upon a final
engineering study covering the Buildings and any other existing structures on
the Property, that there are material defects in any roof, foundation,
sprinkler mains, structural elements and masonry walls of any of the Buildings
or related heating, ventilating and air-conditioning, electrical, sanitation,
water or mechanical systems, or surface parking.
(c) The Purchaser shall have determined, based upon its
reasonable business judgment, that the Property including the Buildings as
presently constructed and used violate in a material respect applicable federal
or state law or governmental regulation, or local ordinance, order or
regulation, including but not limited to laws, regulations or ordinances
relating to land use, zoning, building use and occupancy, subdivision control,
fire protection, public health and safety, wetlands protection and protection
of the environment.
(d) The Purchaser shall have determined that the Leases, the
income and expenses and property tax bills for the Property do not conform in
all material respects to the information contained in the Confidential Offering
Memorandum, prepared by the Broker.
(e) The Purchaser shall have determined that the Contracts
are not in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser. If any
Contracts are not reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser, the Purchaser shall
notify the Seller which Contracts are not acceptable to the Purchaser and the
reasons therefor. Any so identified Contracts which Seller agrees to terminate
or accept financial responsibility for on the Closing Date shall not give rise
to a right of termination by Purchaser hereunder.
If for any reason whatsoever the Seller shall not have received the
Purchaser's Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence
Period, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have irrevocably waived the right of
termination granted under this Section 4.2, and such right of termination shall
be of no further force or effect.
Purchaser's Termination Notice shall state with sufficient
particularity the conditions precedent to the Purchaser's obligation
to purchase the Property which have not been satisfied and the Seller
shall have the option, exercisable by giving written notice of such
exercise to the Purchaser within seven (7) days of the Seller's
receipt of the Purchaser's Termination Notice, to elect to use
reasonable efforts (the cost of which shall not exceed $25,000 in the
aggregate) to cause the satisfaction of such unsatisfied conditions
precedent specified in Purchaser's Termination Notice, in which event
this Agreement shall not terminate as a result of the Purchaser
delivery of the Purchaser's Termination Notice and the Closing Date
shall be extended for a period specified by the Seller (provided,
that in no event shall the Closing Date be extended more than forty-
five (45) days in the aggregate). The Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that, in the case of a Purchaser's Termination Notice citing
matters under Section 4.2(c) as the basis for termination, such
matters shall be deemed cured upon delivery to the Purchaser of an
opinion letter of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser
indicating that no such violation of law, ordinance, order or
regulation as is cited in such Purchaser's Termination Notice exists,
or that such violation shall not have a material adverse impact upon
the use of the Property as currently used.
4.3. Estoppel Certificates.
Promptly after execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller
agrees to request an Estoppel Certificate from each tenant under a Lease, but
in no event shall it be deemed to be an obligation of the Seller under this
Agreement to obtain executed Estoppel Certificates, except for Estoppel
Certificates from Countrywide Credit Industries, Inc., and all tenants who
lease space in excess of 15,000 square feet area of the Buildings plus two-
thirds of all other tenants at the Building. The Estoppel Certificates shall
be in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit G and made a part hereof; provided,
however, if any tenant is required or permitted under its Lease to make
different statements in a certificate of such nature than are set forth in
Exhibit G, prior to requesting an Estoppel Certificate from such tenant, the
Seller may modify the Estoppel Certificate for such tenant to set forth only
the statements required under such tenant's Lease to be made by such tenant in
such a certificate. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.3, if any
tenant fails to deliver an Estoppel Certificate in the form required by this
Agreement, Seller shall substitute in lieu thereof an estoppel certificate
substantially in such form executed by Seller. Each Estoppel Certificate shall
be dated not earlier than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date,
provided, that, if the Closing Date is extended by the Purchaser pursuant to
the terms hereof (or otherwise extended at the request of the Purchaser), such
Estoppel Certificates shall be dated not earlier than forty-five (45) days
prior to the Closing Date as in effect prior to such extension.
5. Title.
The Seller shall convey and the Purchaser shall accept title to the Property
subject to those matters set forth on Schedule 5 hereto (collectively the
"Permitted Encumbrances"). The Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser, with
costs therefor allocated as set forth on Schedule 6 within five (5) days after
the execution of this Agreement, a commitment for an owner's fee title
insurance policy with respect to the Property (the "Title Commitment") from
First American Title Insurance Company (the "Title Company"), together with
true and complete copies of all instruments giving rise to any defects or
exceptions to title to the Property. The Seller has delivered to the
Purchaser, with costs therefor allocated as set forth on Schedule 6, hereto,
an as-built survey ("Survey") of the Land and Building dated November 18, 1996
and prepared by Grimes Surveying & Mapping, Inc. in accordance with the
"Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys" jointly
established and adopted by ALTA and ACSM.
5.1. Unacceptable Encumbrances.
If the Title Commitment or the Survey indicate the existence of any
liens or encumbrances (collectively, "Liens") or other defects or exceptions in
or to title to the Property other than the Permitted Encumbrances (collectively,
the "Unacceptable Encumbrances") subject to which the Purchaser is unwilling
to accept title and the Purchaser gives the Seller notice of the same within
ten (10) days after the date hereof, the Seller shall undertake to eliminate
the same (or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of
such Unacceptable Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the
Property) subject to Section 5.2. The Purchaser hereby waives any right the
Purchaser may have to advance as objections to title or as grounds for the
Purchaser's refusal to close this transaction any Unacceptable Encumbrance
which the Purchaser does not notify the Seller of within such ten (10) day
period unless (i) such Unacceptable Encumbrance was first raised by the Title
Company subsequent to the date of the Title Commitment or the Purchaser shall
otherwise first discover same or be advised of same subsequent to the date of
the Title Commitment, and (ii) the Purchaser shall notify the Seller of the
same within five (5) days after the Purchaser first becomes aware of such
Unacceptable Encumbrance. The Seller, in its sole discretion, may adjourn the
Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in the aggregate in order
to eliminate Unacceptable Encumbrances.
5.2. Removal of Unacceptable Encumbrances.
The Seller shall not be obligated to bring any action or proceeding, to
make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate
Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by the Purchaser or to arrange for title
insurance insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable Encumbrances
against, or collection of the same out of, the Property; except that the Seller
shall satisfy Unacceptable Encumbrances which are (i) mortgages and past due
real estate taxes and assessments secured by or affecting the Property, and
(ii) judgments against the Seller or other Liens secured by or affecting the
Property which judgments and other Liens can be satisfied by payment of
liquidated amounts not to exceed $50,000 in the aggregate for all such
judgments and other Liens. The Seller may eliminate any such Unacceptable
Encumbrance by the payment of amounts necessary to cause the removal thereof
of record, by bonding over such Unacceptable Encumbrance in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser or by arranging for title insurance reasonably
satisfactory to the Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable
Encumbrance against, or collection of the same out of, the Property.
5.3. Options Upon Failure to Remove Unacceptable Liens.
If the Seller is unable or is not otherwise obligated (pursuant to
Section 5.2) to eliminate all Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by
the Purchaser, or to bond over in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
the Purchaser any Unacceptable Encumbrances not waived by the
Purchaser, or to arrange for title insurance reasonably acceptable to
the Purchaser insuring against enforcement of such Unacceptable
Encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Property,
and to convey title in accordance with the terms of this Agreement on
or before the Closing Date (whether or not the Closing is adjourned as
provided in Section 5.1), the Purchaser shall elect on the Closing
Date, as its sole remedy for such inability of the Seller, either (i)
to terminate this Agreement by notice given to the Seller pursuant to
Section 14.1, in which event the provisions of Section 14.1 shall
apply, or (ii) to accept title subject to such Unacceptable
Encumbrances and receive no credit against, or reduction of, the
Purchase Price.
5.4. Use of Purchase Price.
If on the Closing Date there may be any Liens or other encumbrances
which the Seller must pay or discharge in order to convey to the Purchaser such
title as is herein provided to be conveyed, the Seller may use any portion of
the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided:
(a) the Seller shall deliver to the Purchaser or the Title
Company, at the Closing, instruments in recordable form and sufficient to
satisfy such Liens or other encumbrances of record together with the cost of
recording or filing said instruments; or
(b) the Seller, having made arrangements with the Title
Company, shall deposit with said company sufficient moneys acceptable to said
company to insure the obtaining and the recording of such satisfactions.
5.5. Franchise Taxes.
Any franchise or corporate tax open, levied or imposed against the
Seller or other owners in the chain of title that may be a Lien on the Closing
Date shall not be an objection to title if the Title Company omits same from
the title policy issued pursuant to the Title Commitment or excepts same but
insures the Purchaser against collection thereof out of the Property.
5.6. Transfer Taxes; Title Insurance Premiums.
At the Closing, the Seller and the Purchaser shall each pay fifty
percent (50%) of all documentary transfer and recording taxes (the "Transfer
Tax Payments") imposed pursuant to the Laws of the State of California or any
other governmental authority in respect of the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement by delivery to the Title Company of sufficient funds to pay such
taxes. The Purchaser shall not be entitled to receive a credit against or
abatement of the Purchase Price payable to the Seller at the Closing as a
result of the Purchaser's share of the Transfer Tax Payments. At the Closing,
the premiums due the Title Company to obtain title insurance policies in the
form contemplated by the Title Commitment (as the same may be amended pursuant
to this Agreement), the cost of obtaining the survey and other Closing-related
expenses shall be paid in the manner set forth on Schedule 6 hereto.
6. Representations and Warranties of the Seller.
The Seller represents and warrants to the Purchaser as follows:
(a) The Seller is a duly formed and validly existing limited
partnership organized under the laws of the State of Delaware and is qualified
under the laws of the State of California to conduct business therein.
(b) The Seller has the full, legal right, power and authority to

(c) This Agreement and the Seller's Documents do not and will not
contravene any provision of the limited partnership agreement of the Seller,
any judgment, order, decree, writ or injunction issued against the Seller, or,
to the Seller's actual knowledge, any provision of any laws or governmental
ordinances, rules, regulations, orders or requirements (collectively, the
"Laws") applicable to the Seller. The consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby will not result in a breach or constitute a default or
event of default by the Seller under any agreement to which the Seller or any
of its assets are subject or bound and will not result in a violation of any
Laws applicable to the Seller.
(d) The Seller has no actual knowledge of any leases, licenses or
other occupancy agreements affecting any portion of the Property (collectively,

annexed hereto and made a part hereof. To Seller's actual knowledge, the
copies of the Leases furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser are true and
complete. To the Seller's actual knowledge, the Leases are in full force and
effect, without any material default by the Seller thereunder. To the Seller's
actual knowledge, except as listed on Schedule 7, the Seller has not given or
received any notice of default which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with
respect to any of the Leases.

actual knowledge, neither Seller nor any third party has engaged in the
generation, use, manufacture, treatment, storage or disposal of any Hazardous
Substance (as hereinafter defined) on the Property in violation of Applicable
Environmental Law (as hereinafter defined), the cost of correction or
remediation of which would have a material adverse effect upon the value of the
Property, and (ii) to Seller's actual knowledge, neither Seller nor any third
party has received any written notice from any governmental authority having
jurisdiction over the Property of any violation of Applicable Environmental Law
with respect to the Property which requires corrective action, the cost of
which would have a material adverse effect upon the value of the Property.
Disclosure of any matter on Schedule 9 hereto shall not constitute any
admission by Seller that such matter was material or a violation of Applicable
Environmental Law. As used in this Agreement, the term "Hazardous Substance"
shall mean any substance, chemical or waste that is currently listed as
hazardous, toxic or dangerous under Applicable Environmental Law. As used in
this Agreement, the term "Applicable Environmental Law" shall mean the

hereof, except for the Contracts listed on Schedule 3 annexed hereto. The
copies of the Contracts furnished by the Seller to the Purchaser are true and
complete.

Contracts.
(j) To the Seller's knowledge it has not received any written notice
from any governmental authority regarding any violation of any federal, state

applicable to the Property.
6.1. Survival of Representations.
The representations and warranties of the Seller set forth in this
Section 6 (i) shall be true, accurate and correct in all material respects upon
the execution of this Agreement and shall be deemed to be repeated on and as of
the Closing Date (except as they relate only to an earlier date), and (ii)
shall remain operative and shall survive the Closing and the execution and
delivery of the Deed for a period of one year following the Closing Date and
then shall expire, and no action or claim based thereon shall be commenced

then the Seller may, in its sole discretion, elect by notice to the
Purchaser to adjourn the Closing one or more times for up to sixty (60) days in
the aggregate in order to cure or correct such untrue, inaccurate or incorrect
representation or warranty. If any such representation or warranty is not
cured or corrected by the Seller on or before the Closing Date (whether or not
the Closing is adjourned as provided above), then the Purchaser, as its sole
remedy for such inability of Seller, shall elect either (i) to waive such
misrepresentations or breaches of warranties and consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby without any reduction of or credit against the Purchase
Price, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller pursuant
to the provisions of Section 14.1. In the event the Closing occurs, the
Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any right or
remedy available to it at law, in equity or under this Agreement to make a
claim against the Seller for damages that the Purchaser may incur, or to
rescind this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, as the result
of any of the Seller's representations or warranties being untrue, inaccurate
or incorrect if the Purchaser knew, should have known or is deemed to have
known that such representation or warranty was untrue, inaccurate or incorrect
at the time of the Closing and the Purchaser nevertheless closes title
hereunder.
6.3. Limited Nature of Representations.
The Purchaser acknowledges that neither the Seller nor any of the
Seller's Affiliates, nor any of their agents or representatives, nor Broker has
made any representations or held out any inducements to the Purchaser other than
those specifically set forth in this Agreement. The Purchaser acknowledges that

Seller's Affiliates has made any independent investigation or verification of,
or has any knowledge of, the accuracy or completeness of, the Property
Information; (iii) the Purchaser is relying solely on its own investigations,
examinations and inspections of the Property and those of the Purchaser's
Representatives and is not relying in any way on the Property Information
furnished by the Seller or any of the Seller's Affiliates, or any of their

representatives, from any and all liability with respect thereto.
The Purchaser or anyone claiming by, through or under the Purchaser, hereby
fully and irrevocably releases the Seller and the Seller's Affiliates from any
and all claims that it may now have or hereafter acquire against any of the
Seller or the Seller's Affiliates for any cost, loss, liability, damage,
expense, action or cause of action, whether foreseen or unforeseen, arising
from or related to the presence of environmentally hazardous, toxic or
dangerous substances, or any other conditions (whether patent, latent or
otherwise) affecting the Property, except for (i) claims against the Seller
based upon any obligations and liabilities of the Seller expressly provided in
this Agreement or any other document to be executed and delivered by the Seller

breach or constitute a default or event of default by the Purchaser under any

will not result in a violation of any Laws applicable to the Purchaser.
(d) To the Purchaser's actual knowledge, there are no pending

10.1. New Leases.
Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 10.1, the Seller may

provided, however, that such Lease is on Seller's standard form with such

relating to such existing or proposed Lease. If the Purchaser fails to reply
to the Seller's request for consent in a notice given within such period or
if the Purchaser expressly denies its consent but fails to provide the Seller
with the reasons for such denial, the Purchaser's consent shall be deemed to
have been granted.
10.1.1. New Lease Expenses.
If after the date of this Agreement the Seller enters into any
Leases, or if there is any extension or renewal of any Leases, whether or not
such Leases provide for their extension or renewal, or any expansion or
modification of any Leases (each, a "New Lease"), the Seller shall keep
accurate records of all expenses (collectively, "New Lease Expenses") incurred
in connection with each New Lease, including, without limitation, the
following: (i) brokerage commissions and fees relating to such leasing
transaction, (ii) expenses incurred for repairs, improvements, equipment,
painting, decorating, partitioning and other items to satisfy the tenant's
requirements with regard to such leasing transaction, (iii) reimbursements to
the tenant for the cost of any of the items described in the preceding clause
(ii), (iv) rent concessions relating to the demised space provided the tenant

or terminating the obligations of a tenant pursuant to a New Lease with the
Seller as landlord that may be due under another lease (whether or not such
other lease covers space in the Property).
10.1.2. Allocation of New Lease Expenses.
The New Lease Expenses for each New Lease allocable to and
payable by the Seller shall be determined by multiplying the amount of such New
Lease Expenses by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of
days contained in that portion, if any, of the term of such New Lease
commencing on the date on which the tenant thereunder shall have commenced
to pay fixed rent ("Rent Commencement Date") and expiring on the date
immediately preceding the Closing Date, and the denominator of which shall be
the total number of days contained in the period commencing on the Rent
Commencement Date and expiring on the date of the scheduled expiration of the
term of such New Lease, without provision for any optional extensions or
renewals, and the remaining balance of the New Lease Expenses for each New
Lease shall be allocable to and payable by the Purchaser by addition to the
Purchase Price. At the Closing, the Purchaser shall reimburse the Seller for
all New Lease Expenses theretofore paid by the Seller, if any, in excess of the
portion of the New Lease Expenses allocated to the Seller pursuant to the
provisions of the preceding sentence. At the Closing, the Seller shall
reimburse the Purchaser for all New Lease Expenses not theretofore paid by the
Seller, if any, attributable to the portion of the New Lease Expenses allocated
to the Seller pursuant to the provisions of the preceding sentence. For
purposes of this Section 10.1.2, the Rent Commencement Date under a renewal,
extension, expansion or modification of a Lease shall be deemed to be (i) in
the case of a renewal or extension (whether effective prior to or after the
Closing, or in the form of an option exercisable in the future), the first date
during such renewal or extension period after the originally scheduled
expiration of the term of such Lease on which the tenant under such Lease
commences to pay fixed rent, (ii) in the case of an expansion (whether
effective prior to or after the Closing, or in the form of an option
exercisable in the future), the date on which the tenant under such Lease
commences to pay fixed rent for the additional space, and (iii) in the case
of a modification not also involving a renewal, extension or expansion of such
Lease, the effective date of such modification agreement. The provisions of
this Section 10.1.2 shall survive the Closing.
10.2. Termination of Existing Leases.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement,
the Seller may, with the written consent of the Purchaser, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld (and which consent shall be deemed given three (3)
business days following the Seller's notifying the Purchaser of its proposed
action under this Section 10.2, unless Purchaser expressly objects to such
action in writing prior to such time), but is not obligated, to institute
summary proceedings against any tenant or terminate any Lease as a result of a
default by the tenant thereunder prior to the Closing Date. The Seller makes
no representations and assumes no responsibility with respect to (i) the
continued occupancy of the Property or any part thereof by any tenant and (ii)
the fulfillment by any tenant of its obligations under any Lease. The removal
of a tenant whether by summary proceedings or otherwise prior to the Closing
Date shall not give rise to any claim on the part of the Purchaser. Further,
the Purchaser agrees that it shall not be grounds for the Purchaser's refusal
to close this transaction that any tenant is a holdover tenant or in default
under its Lease pursuant to any economic or non-economic terms of its Lease on
the Closing Date and the Purchaser shall accept title subject to such holding
over or default without credit against, or reduction of, the Purchase Price.
10.3. Contracts.
Except as hereinafter provided in this Section 10.3, the Seller may
cancel, modify, extend, renew or permit the expiration of Contracts and may
enter into any new Contract without the Purchaser's prior consent. After the
expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Seller shall not modify, extend,
renew or cancel (except as a result of a default by the other party thereunder
or if Purchaser has given notice pursuant to Section 4.2(e) that a Contract is
unacceptable) any Contracts, or enter into any new Contract without the
Purchaser's prior consent in each instance, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, and if withheld, the Purchaser shall promptly
give the Seller a notice stating the reasons therefor. If the Purchaser fails
to reply within five (5) days to the Seller's request for consent in a notice
given pursuant to this Section 10.3 or if the Purchaser expressly denies its
consent but fails to provide the Seller with the reasons for such denial, the
Purchaser's consent shall be deemed to have been granted.
11. Broker.
The Purchaser and the Seller represent and warrant to each other that
Eastdil Realty Company, L.L.P. and Metrospace Corporation (collectively, the
"Broker") is the sole broker with whom they have dealt in connection with
the Property and the transactions described herein. The Seller shall be
liable for, and shall indemnify the Purchaser against, all brokerage
commissions or other compensation due to the Broker arising out of the
transaction contemplated in this Agreement, which compensation shall be
paid subject and pursuant to a separate agreement between the Seller and the
Broker. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the other
harmless from and against any and all claims, causes of action, losses,
costs, expenses, damages or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys'
fees and disbursements, which the other may sustain, incur or be exposed to,
by reason of any claim or claims by any broker, finder or other person,
except (in the case of the Purchaser as indemnitor hereunder) the Broker,
for fees, commissions or other compensation arising out of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement if such claim or claims are based in whole or in
part on dealings or agreements with the indemnifying party. The obligations
and representations and warranties contained in this Section 11 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.
12. Casualty; Condemnation.
12.1. Damage or Destruction.
If a "material" part (as hereinafter defined) of the Property is
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, the Seller shall
notify the Purchaser of such fact and the Purchaser shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the Seller given not
later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Seller's notice;
provided, however, that the Purchaser's election shall be ineffective
if within ten (10) days after the Seller's receipt of the Purchaser's
election notice, the Seller shall elect by notice to the Purchaser to repair
such damage or destruction and shall thereafter complete such repair within 90
days after the then scheduled Closing Date at the time of the Purchaser's
election. If the Seller makes such election to repair, the Seller shall have
the right to adjourn the Closing Date one or more times for up to 90 days in
the aggregate in order to complete such repairs and shall have the right to
retain all insurance proceeds which the Seller may be entitled to receive as a
result of such damage or destruction. If (i) the Purchaser does not elect to
terminate this Agreement as to the damaged Property, (ii) the Purchaser elects
to terminate this Agreement as to the damaged Property but such election is
ineffective because the Seller elects to repair such damage and completes such
repair within such 90-day period provided above, or (iii) there is damage to
or destruction of an "immaterial" part ("immaterial" is herein deemed to be any
damage or destruction which is not "material", as such term is hereinafter
defined) of the Property, the Purchaser shall close title as provided in this
Agreement and, at the Closing, the Seller shall, unless the Seller has repaired
such damage or destruction prior to the Closing, (x) pay over to the Purchaser
the proceeds of any insurance collected by the Seller, plus an amount equal to
any deductible attributable to such insurance policy, less the amount of all
costs incurred by the Seller in connection with the repair of such damage or
destruction, and (y) assign and transfer to the Purchaser all right, title and
interest of the Seller in and to any uncollected insurance proceeds which the
Seller may be entitled to receive from such damage or destruction. A
"material" part of the Property shall be deemed to have been damaged or
destroyed if the cost of repair or replacement shall be fifteen percent (15%)
or more of the Purchase Price, or if such damage or destruction is not an
insured casualty.
12.2. Condemnation.
If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any "significant" portion (as
hereinafter defined) of the Property is taken by eminent domain or condemnation
(or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been consummated), the
Seller shall notify the Purchaser of such fact and the Purchaser shall have the
option to terminate this Agreement upon notice to the Seller given not later
than ten (10) days after receipt of the Seller's notice. If the Purchaser does
not elect to terminate this Agreement, or if an "insignificant" portion
("insignificant" is herein deemed to be any taking which is not "significant",
as such term is herein defined) of the Property is taken by eminent domain or
condemnation, at the Closing the Seller shall assign and turnover, and the
Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards or other proceeds
for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation. A "significant" portion of
the Property means (i) 10% or more of the main office building on the Land,
(ii) a portion of the parking areas if the taking thereof reduces the remaining
available number of parking spaces below the minimum legally required, or (iii)
a legally required driveway on the Land if such driveway is the predominant
means of ingress thereto or egress therefrom.
12.3. Termination.
If the Purchaser effectively terminates this Agreement pursuant to
Section 12.1 or 12.2, this Agreement shall be terminated and the rights of the
parties shall be the same as if notice of termination were given pursuant to
Section 14.1.

title shall close as provided in this Agreement or (ii) proceed as provided in
Section 14 hereof.
14. Remedies.
14.1. Seller's Inability to Perform.
If the Closing fails to occur by reason of the Seller's inability to
perform its obligations under this Agreement which has not been waived pursuant
to Section 13.3, then the Purchaser, as its sole remedy for such inability of
the Seller, may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Seller. If the
Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be
terminated and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations or
liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein
(collectively, the "Surviving Obligations"), and except that the Purchaser
shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit provided the Purchaser is not
otherwise in default hereunder. Except as set forth in this Section 14.1, the
Purchaser hereby expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any other right
or remedy available to it at law, in equity or otherwise by reason of the
Seller's inability to perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, if the Seller's inability to perform its
obligations under this Agreement is a result of any action of, or failure to
act by, the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's Representatives, the
Purchaser shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and
Purchaser shall not be entitled to any right or remedy provided in this Section
14.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement.
14.2. Purchaser's Failure to Perform.
In the event of a default hereunder by the Purchaser or if the Closing

IMPRACTICABLE OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX, AT THE TIME

PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER. THEREFORE, IF
PURCHASER FAILS OR REFUSES TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND If the Seller elects to terminate this
Agreement, then this Agreement shall be terminated and the Seller may retain
the Deposit as liquidated damages for all loss, damage and expenses suffered
by the Seller, and neither party shall have any further rights, obligations
or liabilities hereunder, except for the Surviving Obligations.
_________________ ______________
Purchaser Initials Seller Initials
Nothing contained herein shall limit or restrict the Seller's ability
to pursue any rights or remedies it may have against the Purchaser
with respect to the Surviving Obligations. Except as set forth in
this Section 14.2 and the Surviving Obligations, the Seller hereby
expressly waives, relinquishes and releases any other right or remedy
available to them at law, in equity or otherwise by reason of the
Purchaser's default hereunder or the Purchaser's failure or refusal
to perform its obligations hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, if the Purchaser's default or the Purchaser's
failure or refusal to perform its obligations under this Agreement is
a result of any action of, or failure to act by, the Seller or any of
the Seller's Affiliates, the Seller shall not be relieved of its
obligations under this Agreement and the Seller shall not be entitled
to any right or remedy provided in this Section 14.2 or elsewhere in
this Agreement.
14.3. Seller's Failure to Perform.

refusal to perform its obligations hereunder which has not been waived

may (i) terminate this Agreement by notice to the Seller or (ii) seek
specific performance from the Seller. If the Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be refunded to the
Purchaser as set forth in the Escrow Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit I. As a condition precedent to the Purchaser exercising any
right it may have to bring an action for specific performance as the
result of the Seller's failure or refusal to perform their obligations
hereunder, the Purchaser must commence such an action within ninety
(90) days after the occurrence of such default. The Purchaser agrees
that its failure to timely commence such an action for specific
performance within such ninety (90) day period shall be deemed a
waiver by it of its right to commence such an action. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, if the Seller's failure or refusal to perform its
obligations under this Agreement is a result of any action of, or failure to
act by, the Purchaser or any of the Purchaser's Representatives, the Purchaser
shall not be relieved of its obligations under this Agreement and Purchaser
shall not be entitled to any right or remedy provided in this Section 14.3 or
elsewhere in this Agreement.

Seller relating to the Property (the "Escrow Agreement") in the form of Exhibit
I hereto. Simultaneously with their execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the Purchaser and the Seller shall furnish the Escrow Agent with their true
Federal Taxpayer Identification Numbers so that the Escrow Agent may file
appropriate income tax information returns with respect to any interest earned
on or credited to the Deposit. The party entitled to the economic benefit of
