reasonable estimate as of the date of this Contract of the amount of

commenced against any material portion of the Property, Buyer may, at
its option, terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller within

purpose, or is not in satisfactory condition, then Buyer may, by
written notice to Seller ("Disapproval Notice") on or before the end of
the Inspection Period, terminate this Contract for all purposes (except
as provided herein) and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, less
the sum of $100 to be delivered to and retained by Seller as
consideration for this Contract, which consideration is deemed earned
as of the date of this Contract. If Buyer does not give the Disapproval
Notice prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, any and all
objections with respect to the Inspections and to the condition and
suitability of the Property shall be deemed to have been waived by
Buyer for all purposes. In the event the transaction contemplated in
this Contract shall not close, through no fault of Seller, Buyer shall
restore the Property to its original condition, if changed due to the
tests and inspections performed by Buyer, and shall provide Seller with
a copy of the results of any tests and inspections made by Buyer,
excluding any market and economic feasibility studies. All Inspections
shall be at Buyer's expense and Buyer shall indemnify, protect, defend
and hold Seller harmless from and against any damages, liabilities,
claims, demands, costs or expenses arising therefrom (Buyer's
obligations pursuant to this sentence shall survive Closing or
termination of this Contract).
BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE ATTACHED ADDENDUM IS A
PART OF THIS CONTRACT AND SHALL BE APPLICABLE TO THE TRANSACTION
CONTEMPLATED HEREIN.
8. BROKER'S FEE: Arroyo & Coates, as broker ("Seller's Broker"), and SDM,
Inc., as selling or co-broker ("Buyer's Broker"), each of whom is
appropriately licensed as a real estate broker as required by law
(collectively, "Broker"), have negotiated the transaction contemplated
in this Contract. Upon Closing, Seller agrees to pay Buyer's Broker a
cash fee of $7,958, which Title Company shall pay from the sales
proceeds upon Closing. Seller agrees to pay Seller's Broker its fee in
accordance with Seller's separate agreement with Seller's Broker. Each
of the parties represents to the other that it has not incurred any
liability for brokerage fees or commission in connection with this
transaction other than the liability of Seller as set forth above. Each
party indemnifies and agrees to hold the other party harmless from any
and all claims and/or expense resulting to the other party by reason of
a breach of the representation made by such party herein.
9. POSSESSION: The possession of the Property shall be delivered to Buyer
at Closing in its present "as-is" condition, ordinary wear and tear
excepted, subject to the rights of the tenant therein.
10. SALES EXPENSES TO BE PAID IN CASH AT OR PRIOR TO CLOSING: The following
items will paid as follows:
Item Seller Buyer Split 50/50
---- ------ ----- -----------
Escrow fees ___ ___ _X_
Recording fees _X_ ___ ___
Transfer taxes ___ ___ ___
Title Policy (standard) _X_ ___ ___
Survey fees _X_ ___ ___
Doc. Prep. fees ___ ___ _X_
Phase I Report _X_ ___ ___
Excess Title Coverage ___ _X_ ___
11. PRORATIONS: Rents, assessments, current taxes, utility charges and
maintenance fees and all other ordinary operating items of income and
expense relating to the Property shall be prorated at the date of
Closing. If ad valorem taxes for the year in which the sale is closed
are not available on the Closing Date, proration of taxes shall be made
on the basis of taxes assessed in the previous year, with a subsequent
cash adjustment of such proration to be made between Seller and Buyer,
if necessary, when actual tax figures are available.
12. TITLE APPROVAL: Within ten (10) days of the Effective Date of this
Contract, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a Commitment for Title
Insurance or Preliminary Title Report, as applicable, issued by Title
Company (the "Commitment") and, to the extent available, legible copies
of all recorded instruments noted as exceptions in the Commitment,
together with a survey of the Land and Improvements. If Buyer has an
objection to items disclosed in such Commitment or shown on the survey,
Buyer shall have until the end of the Inspection Period to make written
objections to Seller. Any items disclosed in such Commitment or shown
on the survey if not timely objected to by Buyer shall be deemed
approved ("Approved Title Matters"). If Buyer makes such written
objections, Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of such
written objections to cure the same. If required, the Closing Date
shall be extended to allow such cure period. Seller agrees to utilize
reasonable efforts and reasonable diligence to cure such objections, if
any, provided that Seller shall not be required to expend more than
$1,000 to do so. If the objections are not cured within such time
period, Buyer may (i) terminate this Contract upon written notice to
Seller in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant to
this Contract except as otherwise provided above, or (ii) waive the
unsatisfied objections and close the transaction and the Sales Price
shall not be reduced.
13. DEFAULT: If Buyer fails to perform its obligations under this Contract,
Seller may, at its option, terminate this Contract and receive and
retain the Deposit as liquidated damages. If Seller fails to perform
its obligations under this Contract, Buyer may terminate this Contract
and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled
to recover from Seller as liquidated damages Buyer's reasonable out of
pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the transaction
contemplated herein up to a maximum of $2,000. Buyer and Seller
acknowledge and agree that the damages sustained by either party in the
event of default by the other party hereto would be difficult and
impractical to determine and the amounts specified above have been
agreed upon by Buyer and Seller, after negotiation, as their best
reasonable estimate as of the date of this Contract of the amount of
such damages as would be sustained by the non-defaulting party under
such circumstances. Specific performance is waived by both parties
hereto.
<PAGE>
Buyer (/s/ R) and Seller (/s/ HH) agree to the above.
14. ATTORNEYS' FEES: The prevailing party in any legal proceeding against
any other party hereto brought under or with relation to the Contract
or transaction shall be entitled to recover court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees from the non-prevailing party.
15. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTS TO BE PROVIDED BY SELLER: At the times set forth
in the attached Addendum, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of
certain additional documents and information relating to the Property.
16. COVENANTS OF SELLER: From the Effective Date of this Contract until the
Closing Date or earlier termination of this Contract, Seller shall: (i)
operate the Property in the customary and ordinary course of its
business and will use its reasonable efforts to reasonably preserve for
Buyer the relationships of Seller and its suppliers, tenants and others
with respect to the Property; (ii) without the prior written consent of
Buyer (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), not enter into
any written or oral service contract or other agreement with respect to
the Property that will not be fully performed by Seller on or before
the Closing Date, or that will not be cancelable by Buyer without
liability within thirty (30) days after the Closing Date; (iii) without
the prior written consent of Buyer (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld), not enter into, or alter, amend or otherwise
modify, or supplement any lease; (iv) advise Buyer promptly of any
litigation, arbitration, administrative hearing, or legislation before
any governmental body or agency of which Seller receives written
notice, concerning or affecting the Property which is instituted or
threatened after the date hereof; and (v) make commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain from each tenant at the Property an estoppel
certificate confirming the status and terms of such tenant's lease.
17. CONDEMNATION: If prior to Closing Date condemnation proceedings are
commenced against any material portion of the Property, Buyer may, at
its option, terminate this Contract by written notice to Seller within
ten (10) days after Buyer is advised of the commencement of
condemnation proceedings and the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.
Alternatively, Buyer shall have the right to appear and defend in such
condemnation proceedings, and any award in condemnation shall, at the
Buyer's election made prior to Closing, become the property of Seller
and reduce the Sales Price by the same amount or shall become the
property of Buyer and the Sales Price shall not be reduced.
18. CASUALTY LOSS: Except as specifically provided herein, this Contract
shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the occurrence of
any damage or destruction of the Property prior to closing. In the
event of any damage or destruction for which the tenant under the
existing lease is not obligated under the lease to repair or restore
the Property, Seller shall promptly provide Buyer with written notice
of whether or not Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects
to cause such damage or destruction to be repaired prior to closing
("Seller's Notice"). If Seller so elects to repair such damage or
destruction, the closing shall be delayed for such reasonable period as
may be required to allow Seller to complete such repairs at which time
the transaction will close and the Sales Price shall not be reduced. If
Seller elects not to repair such damage or destruction, Buyer, at its
option may either (i) terminate this Contract upon written notice to
Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer receives Seller's Notice in
which event the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party
shall have any further rights or obligations pursuant to this Contract
except as otherwise provided above, or (ii) elect to close the
transaction, in which event Seller's right to all insurance proceeds
resulting from such damage or destruction shall be assigned in writing
by Seller to Buyer and the Sales Price shall not be reduced.
19. MISCELLANEOUS:
A. Any notice required or permitted to be delivered hereunder
shall be deemed received when personally delivered or one (1)
business day after being sent by Federal Express or other
nationally recognized overnight delivery service, charges
prepaid, or three (3) business days after being sent by United
States mail, postage prepaid, certified mail, return receipt
requested, in each case addressed to Seller or Buyer, as the
case may be, at the address set forth below the signature of
such party hereto.
B. This Contract shall be construed under and in accordance with
the laws of the state in which the Property is located.
C. This Contract shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors,
administrators, legal representatives, successors, and
assigns.
D. In case any one or more the provisions contained in the
Contract shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal,
and unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality,
or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision
hereof, and this Contract shall be construed as if such
invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been
contained herein.
E. This Contract constitutes the sole and only agreement of the
parties hereto and supersedes any prior understandings or
written or oral agreements between the parties respecting the
within subject matter and cannot be changed except by their
written consent.
F. Time is of the essence of this Contract.
G. Words of any gender used in this Contract shall be held and
construed to include any other gender, and words in the
singular number shall be held to include the plural, and vice
versa, unless the context requires otherwise.
20. ASSIGNMENT: Buyer may not assign this Contract without the prior
written consent of Seller which Seller may grant or withhold in its
sole and absolute discretion.
21 CONSULT YOUR ATTORNEY: THIS IS INTENDED TO BE A LEGALLY BINDING

SUFFICIENCY, LEGAL EFFECT, OR TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DOCUMENT OR THE
TRANSACTION RELATING THERETO. THESE ARE QUESTIONS FOR YOUR ATTORNEY.

Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the

Exchange shall be consummated or accomplished through a qualified
intermediary; and (iii) Seller shall not be required to take an
assignment of the sale and purchase agreement for the exchange property
for purposes of consummating or accomplishing the Exchange. Buyer shall

7. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel
certificate from Tenant in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer on
or before the end of the Inspection Period provided, however, that
Seller's delivery of an estoppel certificate from Tenant shall not be a
condition to Buyer's obligation to close the sale and purchase of the
Property. If Seller is unable to obtain the estoppel certificate from
Tenant on or before the end of the Inspection Period, then Buyer shall
accept Seller's estoppel certificate in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C in lieu thereof and shall close the purchase and sale of the
Property on the basis thereof. In the event that Seller is subsequently
able to obtain an estoppel certificate from Tenant (without in any way
implying any duty of Seller to do so), and delivers same to Buyer, then
from and after the date of such delivery, Seller's estoppel certificate
shall be of no further force or effect. The provision of this paragraph
7 shall survive the close of escrow.
