            4.1.1    Preliminary Title Report.    Buyer's reasonable approval, by on or before the Contingency Expiration Date, of a preliminary title report ("Preliminary Title Report" or "PTR") of the Property prepared by the Title Company ("Title Contingency").

Buyer shall, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, promptly, diligently, continuously and in good faith continuously pursue the satisfaction of all of Buyer's Contingencies.

            4.2.2 Buyer shall, at no charge to Seller, provide Seller true, correct and complete copies of any applications, reports or other materials filed with or provided to a governmental agency in connection with satisfying Buyer's Contingencies, and provide Seller copies of any correspondence, documents, materials and other information provided to or received from a governmental agency or others in connection with satisfying Buyer's Contingencies.

            4.2.3 Buyer shall not, without Seller's prior written consent or except as otherwise expressly provided herein, communicate directly with any governmental agency or authority regarding the Property, including, but not limited to, requesting a governmental agency or authority to conduct an inspection, review, testing or other investigation of the Property.

        4.3    Disapproval Notice.    Buyer shall provide to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice of Buyer's disapproval or conditional approval of a Buyer's Contingency on or before the date set forth herein for satisfaction of such Buyer's Contingency ("Buyer's Contingency Disapproval Notice").

Buyer's conditional approval of any of Buyer's Contingencies shall be deemed Buyer's disapproval of such Buyer's Contingency. Any conditional approval or disapproval by Buyer of a Buyer's Contingency shall be in writing and shall describe in detail the reasons for such disapproval.

        4.4    Seller's Right to Terminate or Cure.    If Buyer properly and timely provides a Buyer's Contingency Disapproval Notice, then Seller shall have the right, in Seller's sole, absolute and unfettered discretion, within ten (10) business days following receipt of Buyer's Contingency Disapproval Notice, but not later than the Closing Date, elect to cure ("Cure Election") the matter or item specified in Buyer's Contingency Disapproval Notice ("Disapproved Item"), or elect to terminate this Agreement effective immediately upon notice by Seller ("Termination Election").

Buyer's failure to timely, properly and in writing elect to terminate this Agreement as provided in this Section shall conclusively be deemed as Buyer's election to proceed with the purchase of the Property subject to the Disapproved Item.

            4.4.2 If Buyer elects to or is deemed to have elected to proceed with purchasing the Property subject to the Disapproved Item, then Buyer shall accept the Property subject to the Disapproved Item, without any cause of action, Claim or damages against Seller and without any abatement, reduction or holdback of the Purchase Price, and Buyer shall complete the purchase of the Property in compliance herewith, on or before the Closing Date.

It shall be a condition to Closing that Buyer must purchase all of the Properties in accordance with this Agreement for the Purchase Price. Buyer's failure to pay any portion of the Purchase Price shall be a default under this Agreement in which case Seller shall not have any obligation to sell any of


    the Properties to Buyer and Seller shall be entitled to the liquidated damages as provided in this Agreement;

            14.2.2 Fully executed corporate resolutions authorizing Buyer to enter into this transaction and to execute all documents necessary in connection therewith;

              15.1.1.1 Deduct all items including prorations and credits, if any, chargeable to the account of Seller pursuant to the provisions hereof.

              15.1.1.2 Disburse the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller promptly upon the Close of Escrow.

            15.1.2 Cause the recording of the Special Warranty Deed and the APV and the Grant Deed (with documentary transfer tax information to be affixed after recording) and any other documents which the Parties hereto may mutually direct to be recorded in the Official Records and obtain conformed copies thereof for distribution to Buyer and Seller.

            15.1.3 Direct the Title Company to issue the Title Policy to Buyer. If the Title Company named herein fails or refuses to issue to Buyer the Title Policy, then Seller shall have the right to select another reputable title insurance company doing business in the Southern California region to issue the Title Policy.

            15.1.4 Deliver to Buyer the following: Bill of Sale, FIRPTA Certificate, and the California Affidavit.

        15.2 Seller and Buyer agree to deposit an executed original or originally executed counterparts of this Agreement with Escrow Holder within two (2) business days following the execution of this Agreement by Buyer and Seller. Escrow Holder is hereby directed by the Parties to take all actions, recordings and disbursements reasonably necessary in order to follow the instructions of the Parties hereto contained in this Agreement and all amendments. In addition, Buyer and Seller agree to execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable and customary supplemental escrow instructions of Escrow Holder or other instruments as may reasonably be required by Escrow Holder in order to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Any such supplemental instructions shall not conflict with, amend or supersede any portions of this Agreement. If there is any inconsistency between such supplemental instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall govern and control in all respects.


        15.3 If this Agreement or any matter relating hereto shall become the subject of any litigation or controversy, Buyer and Seller agree, jointly and severally, to hold Escrow Holder free and harmless from any loss or expense, including attorneys' fees, that may be suffered by Escrow Holder by reason thereof. In the event conflicting demands are made or notices served upon Escrow Holder with respect to this Agreement, the Buyer and Seller expressly agree that Escrow Holder shall be entitled to file a suit in interpleader and obtain an order from the court requiring Buyer and Seller to interplead and litigate their several claims and rights among themselves. Upon the filing of the action in interpleader, Escrow Holder shall be fully released and discharged from any obligations imposed upon Escrow Holder by this Agreement.

        15.4 Escrow Holder shall not be liable for the sufficiency or correctness as to form, manner, execution or validity of any instrument deposited with Escrow Holder, nor as to the identity, authority or rights of any person executing such instrument, nor for failure to comply with any of the provisions of any agreement, contract or other instrument filed with Escrow Holder or referred to herein. Escrow Holder's duties hereunder shall be limited to the safekeeping of such money, instruments or other documents received by Escrow Holder, and for their disposition in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Escrow Holder is also acting as the Title Company under the terms of this Agreement, nothing in this Section shall limit the liability of Escrow Holder under the Title Policy.

16.    Charges.    

        16.1 Buyer shall be responsible for 100% of the costs of preparing and recording the Grant Deed and Special Warranty Deed, 100% of the Escrow Holder's fees, and 100% of any other closing costs associated with this transaction including, without limitation any documentary and city transfer taxes, and any other sales taxes. Seller shall not be responsible for any recording fees, any Escrow Holder's fees, any documentary transfer taxes, any city transfer taxes or other sales taxes, or any other closing costs associated with this transaction.

        16.2 Buyer shall pay the Title Company's normal and customary premium for a Standard Title Policy, and Buyer shall also pay the additional cost for an Extended Title Policy and any endorsements to the Title Policy.

17.    Prorations.    Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall be responsible at Buyer's sole cost and expense for all of the costs and expenses associated with the Property regardless of the Closing Date by virtue of the fact that Buyer is currently required to pay for such costs and expenses as the Tenant under the Lease. But to the extent necessary and for purposes of distinguishing between Buyer's obligations to pay for such costs and expenses as the Tenant under the Lease versus as the owner of the Property, the following shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of 12:01 a.m. on the date of the Close of Escrow, based upon the actual number of days in a year or a month, as follows:

        17.1 All real estate taxes, bonds and assessments on the Property for the current fiscal or calendar year (as the case may be). In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the real estate taxes on the Property resulting from the sale of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Close of Escrow. If any bond or assessment on the Property is payable in installments, then the installment for the current period shall be prorated (with Buyer assuming the obligation to pay any installment due after the Close of Escrow). All real estate tax refunds, rebates or reductions for the period prior to the Close of Escrow and which are received or payable after the Close of Escrow shall belong to and be paid to Seller.

        17.2 All operating expenses of the Property, including, without limitation, utility charges, maintenance charges, service charges, management fees, and other costs and expenses.

        17.3 All fixed and additional rentals, security deposits if any, and other tenant charges, due under the Lease.



        17.4 In the event that there are any unknown amounts to be prorated as of the Close of Escrow, then Seller and Buyer will prorate the same promptly after the Close of Escrow and outside the Escrow.

18.    Confidentiality and Publicity.    

        18.1 Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or as required by law (including, but not limited to, Buyer's status as a publicly held company or in connection with Buyer's initial public offering resulting in Buyer becoming a publicly held company) Buyer shall not cause or permit Buyer or Buyer Parties to disclose, disseminate or release the Confidential Information by any means or methods to anyone, and shall treat the Confidential Information on a strictly confidential basis ("Confidentiality Provision"). The obligations of Buyer and Buyer Parties under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

19.    Damage; Condemnation.    

        19.1 If, prior to the Close of Escrow, a Material Uninsured Damage or a Material Taking occurs, Buyer may, within two (2) days after the occurrence thereof, as Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy, elect to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement and the Escrow shall terminate, neither Party shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities to the other hereunder. If Buyer does not timely elect to terminate this Agreement due to the occurrence of a Material Uninsured Damage or a Material Taking, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such termination right, the Close of Escrow shall occur as provided and scheduled herein, there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer (which assignment shall be without any recourse to Seller) and Buyer shall be entitled to receive the compensation, awards and proceeds, if any, minus Seller's costs associated therewith, including without limitation, any deductibles and attorneys' fees resulting from such Material Uninsured Damage or Material Taking.

        19.2 If, prior to the Close of Escrow, the Property is damaged or destroyed by a casualty or other causes (except for a Material Uninsured Damage), or the Property is taken, condemned by any eminent domain proceeding (except for a Material Taking), then Buyer shall have no right to terminate this Agreement therefor, the Close of Escrow shall occur as provided and scheduled herein, there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price, Seller shall assign to Buyer (which assignment shall be without any recourse to Seller) and Buyer shall be entitled to receive the compensation, awards and insurance proceeds, if any associated therewith including, without limitation, any deductible and attorneys' fees, minus Seller's costs resulting from such casualty, taking or condemnation, and Buyer shall pay any deductibles to the extent not paid by Seller.

        19.3 Buyer and Seller each expressly waive the provisions of any statute or case law concerning risk of loss, damage, destruction or condemnation during escrow (including, but not limited to, California Civil Code 1662, 1932 and 1933) and agree that the provisions of this Section shall supersede the provisions of such cases or statutes.

20.    Seller's Default.    

        20.1 If this sale and purchase shall not be successfully consummated as a result of Seller's inability to deliver title of the Property to Buyer, or the refusal of the Title Company or another title insurer to deliver to Buyer the policy of title insurance required under this Agreement, then Seller shall have no liability to Buyer of any kind or nature and this Agreement shall be terminated. In such event, Buyer shall be entitled to the return of all funds paid to Escrow Holder, together with interest accrued thereon.

        20.2 If Seller fails to perform any of Seller's obligations under this Agreement, then Buyer shall immediately give written notice thereof to Seller, which notice shall specify in detail the manner and reasons for Seller's alleged default, and such notice shall be accompanied by documents, information and matters reasonably necessary to substantiate Buyer's claims of Seller's default. Seller shall not be deemed or construed to be in default of Seller's obligations under this Agreement unless Seller fails to cure such default within five (5) days after Seller's receipt of such written notice from Buyer; provided,



however, if the nature of Seller's default is such that more than five (5) days are reasonably required for its cure, then Seller shall not be deemed to be in default of its obligations hereunder if Seller, within five (5) days receipt of Buyer's notice of default, commences to take steps toward curing the alleged default.

        20.3 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as an express material consideration and condition for Seller to enter into this Agreement, Buyer hereby releases, acquits and discharges Seller and Seller Parties from and against any and all consequential, incidental, indirect, special, collateral, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of, in connection with or related to Seller's violation, breach or default of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any Claim for loss of profit, loss of opportunity, loss of production or loss of use, regardless of whether the damages sought are based on contract, tort, statute or otherwise, and irrespective of whether sole, concurrent or other negligence, whether active or passive, or strict liability is involved or is asserted.

        20.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as an express material consideration and condition for Seller to enter into this Agreement, Buyer agrees that, if the Close of Escrow shall have occurred (and Buyer shall not have waived, relinquished or released any applicable rights pursuant to any further limitation set forth herein), Seller's liability for any violation, breach or default of Seller's representations, warranties, covenants, indemnities or other obligations (whether express or implied) of Seller under this Agreement (or any document executed or delivered in connection herewith) shall under no circumstances exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) in the aggregate.

        20.5 No constituent partner in or agent of Seller, nor any advisor, trustee, director, officer, employee, beneficiary, shareholder, participant, representative or agent of any corporation or trust that is or becomes a constituent partner in Seller shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Buyer and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller's assets for the payment of any Claim or for any performance, and Buyer, on behalf of Buyer and Buyer's successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability.

21.    No Right to Assign.    The rights and obligations of Buyer under this Agreement shall not be assigned by Buyer.

22.    Exchange.    

        Seller reserves the right to accomplish this transaction as an exchange sufficient to meet the requirements of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller to accomplish the same. Seller shall pay the escrow and title company costs and expenses in connection with such exchange. Buyer agrees that as a part of accommodating Seller's exchange of the Property, Buyer shall accept a deed of the Property from Seller's exchange accommodator.

23.    No Real Estate Broker's Commissions.    Seller and Buyer each represent and warrant to the other that (i) neither has had any dealings with any person, firm, broker or finder in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and/or the consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby; that (ii) no broker or other person, firm or entity are entitled to any commission, compensation or finder's fee in connection with this transaction. Seller and Buyer do each hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any Claims, including, without limitation, Claims for compensation, commission or charges which may be claimed by any broker, finder or other similar party, by reason of any dealings or actions of the indemnifying Party.

24.    Miscellaneous.    

        24.1 The waiver by either Party of the performance of any covenant, condition or promise, shall not invalidate this Agreement, nor shall it be considered a waiver of any other covenant, condition or



promise. The waiver by either Party of the time for performing any act shall not constitute a waiver of time for performing any other act or any identical act required to be performed at a later time.

        24.2 All amendments and supplements to this Agreement must be in writing and executed by each Party hereto.

        24.3 This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

This Agreement contains all of the terms, covenants, conditions, warranties and agreements of the Parties relating in any manner to the sale of the Property, shall be considered to be the only agreement between the Parties hereto and their representatives and agents. All negotiations and oral agreements acceptable to both Parties have been merged into and are included herein. There are no other representations or warranties between the Parties, and all reliance with respect to representations is based totally upon the representations and agreements contained in this Agreement, if any.

        24.6 The necessary grammatical changes required to make the provisions hereof apply either to corporations, limited liability companies, partnerships or individuals, men or women, as the case may require, shall in all cases be assumed as though in each case fully expressed. The captions herein are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to limit, construe, affect or alter the meaning hereof. If any term, provision or condition contained in this Agreement shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term, provision or condition to persons or circumstances other than those with respect to which it is invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each and every other term, provision and condition of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent possible permitted by law.

        24.7 The language in this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State for interpretation of contracts and according to such language's normal and usual meaning, and not strictly for or against either Buyer or Seller, regardless of the Party who drafted this Agreement.

        24.9 If either Party commences litigation or arbitration against the other under this Agreement, for damages for the breach hereof or otherwise for enforcement of any remedy hereunder, the Parties hereto agree to and hereby do waive any right to a trial by jury and, in the event of any such commencement of litigation or arbitration, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the other Party such costs and reasonable attorneys' fees as may have been incurred, including, without limitation, any and all costs incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment or award.
