                  (n) Material Change. Buyer shall have 10 days following
receipt of written notice of a Material Change within which to satisfy itself
with regard to such change. “Material Change” shall mean a change in the status
of the use, occupancy, tenants, or condition of the Property that occurs after
the date of this offer and prior to the Closing. Unless otherwise notified in
writing, Escrow Holder shall assume that no Material Change has occurred prior
to the Closing.
                  (o) Seller Performance. The delivery of all documents and the
due performance by Seller of each and every undertaking and agreement to be
performed by Seller under this Agreement.
                  (p) Warranties. That each representation and warranty of
Seller herein be true and correct as of the Closing. Escrow Holder shall assume
that this condition has been satisfied unless notified to the contrary in
writing by any Party prior to the Closing.
                  (q) Brokerage Fee. Payment at the Closing of such brokerage
fee as is specified in this Agreement or later written instructions to Escrow
Holder executed by Seller and Brokers (“Brokerage Fee”). It is agreed by the
Parties and Escrow Holder that Brokers are a third party beneficiary of this
Agreement insofar as the Brokerage Fee is concerned, and that no change shall be
made with respect to the payment of the Brokerage Fee specified in this
Agreement, without the written consent of Brokers.
                  9.2 All of the contingencies specified in subparagraphs
(a) through (p) of paragraph 9.1 are for the benefit of, and may be waived by,
Buyer, and may be elsewhere herein referred to as "Buyer’s Contingencies.”
                  9.3 If any Buyer’s Contingency or any other matter subject to
Buyer’s approval is disapproved as provided for herein in a timely manner
(“Disapproved Item”), Seller shall have the right within 10 days following the
receipt of notice of Buyer’s disapproval to elect to cure such Disapproved Item
prior to the Expected Closing Date (“Seller’s Election”). Seller’s failure to
give to Buyer within such period, written notice of Seller’s commitment to cure
such Disapproved Item on or before the Expected Closing Date shall be
conclusively presumed to be Seller’s Election not to cure such Disapproved Item.
If Seller elects, either by written notice or failure to give written notice,
not to cure a Disapproved Item, Buyer shall have the election, within 10 days
after Seller’s Election to either accept title to the Property subject to such
Disapproved Item, or to terminate this transaction. Buyer’s failure to notify
Seller in writing of Buyer’s election to accept title to the Property subject to
the Disapproved Item without deduction or offset shall constitute Buyer’s
election to terminate this transaction. Unless expressly provided otherwise
herein, Seller’s right to cure shall not apply to the remediation of Hazardous
Substance Conditions or to the Financing Contingency. Unless the Parties
mutually instruct otherwise, if the time periods for the satisfaction of
contingencies or for Seller’s and Buyer’s said Elections would expire on a date
after the Expected Closing Date, the Expected Closing Date shall be deemed
extended for 3 business days following the expiration of: (a) the applicable
contingency period(s), (b) the period within which the Seller may elect to cure
the Disapproved Item, or (c) if Seller elects not to cure, the period within
which Buyer may elect to proceed with this transaction, whichever is later.
                  9.4 Buyer understands and agrees that until such time as all
Buyer’s Contingencies have been satisfied or waived, Seller and/or its agents
may solicit, entertain and/or accept back-up offers to purchase the Property.
                  9.5 The Parties acknowledge that extensive local, state and
Federal legislation establish broad liability upon owners and/or users of real
property for the investigation and remediation of Hazardous Substances. The
determination of the existence of a Hazardous Substance Condition and the
evaluation of the impact of such a condition are highly technical and beyond the
expertise of Brokers. The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by
Brokers to consult their own technical and legal experts with respect to the
possible presence of Hazardous Substances on the Property or adjoining
properties, and Buyer and Seller are not relying upon any investigation by or
statement of Brokers with respect thereto. The Parties hereby assume all
responsibility for the impact of such Hazardous Substances upon their respective
interests herein.

insurance shall be a joint protection policy insuring both Buyer and Seller.

BEING ACQUIRED. A NEW POLICY OF TITLE INSURANCE SHOULD BE OBTAINED IN ORDER TO
ENSURE YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THAT YOU ARE ACQUIRING.

11.   Prorations and Adjustments.

            11.1 Taxes. Applicable real property taxes and special assessment
bonds shall be prorated through Escrow as of the date of the Closing, based upon
the latest tax bill available. The Parties agree to prorate as of the Closing
any taxes assessed against the Property by supplemental bill levied by reason of
events occurring prior to the Closing. Payment of the prorated amount shall be
made promptly in cash upon receipt of a copy of any supplemental bill.
            11.2 Insurance. WARNING: Any insurance which Seller may have
maintained will terminate on the Closing. Buyer is advised to obtain appropriate
insurance to cover the Property.
            11.3 Rentals, Interest and Expenses. Scheduled rentals, interest on
Existing Notes, utilities, and operating expenses shall be prorated as of the
date of Closing. The Parties agree to promptly adjust between themselves outside
of Escrow any rents received after the Closing.
            11.4 Security Deposit. Security Deposits held by Seller shall be
given to Buyer as a credit to the cash required of Buyer at the Closing.
            11.5 Post Closing Matters. Any item to be prorated that is not
determined or determinable at the Closing shall be promptly adjusted by the
Parties by appropriate cash payment outside of the Escrow when the amount due is
determined.
            11.6 Variations in Existing Note Balances. In the event that Buyer
is purchasing the Property subject to an Existing Deed of Trust(s), and in the
event that a Beneficiary Statement as to the applicable Existing Note(s)
discloses that the unpaid principal balance of such Existing Note(s) at the
closing will be more or less than the amount set forth in paragraph 3.1(c)
hereof (“Existing Note Variation”), then the Purchase Money Note(s) shall be
reduced or increased by an amount equal to such Existing Note Variation. If
there is to be no Purchase Money Note, the cash required at the Closing per
paragraph 3.1(a) shall be reduced or increased by the amount of such Existing
Note Variation.

this Agreement, Buyer is purchasing the Property in its existing condition and

contemplated use of, the Property. The Parties acknowledge that, except as
otherwise stated in this Agreement, no representations, inducements, promises,

other act, ordinance or law, have been made by either Party or Brokers, or
relied upon by either Party hereto.
            12.3 In the event that Buyer learns that a Seller representation or
warranty might be untrue prior to the Closing, and Buyer elects to purchase the
Property anyway then, and in that event, Buyer waives any right that it may have
to bring an action or proceeding against Seller or Brokers regarding said
representation or warranty.
            12.4 Any environmental reports, soils reports, surveys, and other
similar documents which were prepared by third party consultants and provided to
Buyer by Seller or Seller’s representatives, have been delivered as an
accommodation to Buyer and without any representation or warranty as to the
sufficiency, accuracy, completeness, and/or validity of said documents, all of
which Buyer relies on at its own risk. Seller believes said documents to be
accurate, but Buyer is advised to retain appropriate consultants to review said
documents and investigate the Property.

13.   Possession.

Possession of the Property shall be given to Buyer at the Closing subject to the
rights of tenants under Existing Leases.

14.   Buyer’s Entry.

At any time during the Escrow period, Buyer, and its agents and representatives,
shall have the right at reasonable times and subject to rights of tenants, to
enter upon the Property for the purpose of making inspections and tests
specified in this Agreement. No destructive testing shall be conducted, however,
without Seller’s prior approval which shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Following any such entry or work, unless otherwise directed in writing by
Seller, Buyer shall return the Property to the condition it was in prior to such
entry or work, including the recompaction or removal of any disrupted soil or
material as Seller may reasonably direct. All such inspections and tests and any
other work conducted or materials furnished with respect to the Property by or
for Buyer shall be paid for by Buyer as and when due and Buyer shall indemnify,
defend, protect and hold harmless Seller and the Property of and from any and
all claims, liabilities, losses, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’
fees), damages, including those for injury to person or property, arising out of
or relating to any such work or materials or the acts or omissions of Buyer, its
agents or employees in connection therewith.

15.   Further Documents and Assurances.

The Parties shall each, diligently and in good faith, undertake all actions and

and when required by this Agreement. The Parties agree to provide all further
information, and to execute and deliver all further documents, reasonably
required by Escrow Holder or the Title Company.

16.   Attorneys’ Fees.

If any Party or Broker brings an action or proceeding (including arbitration)
involving the Property whether founded in tort, contract or equity, or to
declare rights hereunder, the Prevailing Party (as hereafter defined) in any
such proceeding, action, or appeal thereon, shall be entitled to reasonable
attorneys’ fees. Such fees may be awarded in the same suit or recovered in a
separate suit, whether or not such action or proceeding is pursued to decision
or judgment. The term “Prevailing Party” shall include, without limitation, a
Party or Broker who substantially obtains or defeats the relief sought, as the
case may be, whether by compromise, settlement, judgment, or the abandonment by
the other Party or Broker of its claim or defense. The attorneys’ fees award
shall not be computed in accordance with any court fee schedule, but shall be
such as to fully reimburse all attorneys’ fees reasonably incurred.

17.   Prior Agreements/Amendments.

            17.1 This Agreement supersedes any and all prior agreements between
Seller and Buyer regarding the Property.
            17.2 Amendments to this Agreement are effective only if made in
writing and executed by Buyer and Seller.

18.   Broker’s Rights.

            18.1 If this sale is not consummated due to the default of either
the Buyer or Seller, the defaulting Party shall be liable to and shall pay to
Brokers the Brokerage Fee that Brokers would have received had the sale been
consummated. If Buyer is the defaulting party, payment of said Brokerage Fee is
in addition to any obligation with respect to liquidated or other damages.
            18.2 Upon the Closing, Brokers are authorized to publicize the facts
of this transaction.

19.   Notices.

            19.1 Whenever any Party, Escrow Holder or Brokers herein shall

other communication, each such communication shall be in writing and shall be
delivered personally, by messenger or by mail, postage prepaid, to the address
set forth in this Agreement or by facsimile transmission.

also delivered via delivery or mail. If such communication is received on a
Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, it shall be deemed received on the next
business day.
            19.3 Any Party or Broker hereto may from time to time, by notice in
writing, designate a different address to which, or a different person or
additional persons to whom, all communications are thereafter to be made.

24.   Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.

            24.1 The Parties and Brokers agree that their relationship(s) shall
be governed by the principles set forth in the applicable sections of the
California Civil Code, as summarized in paragraph 24.2.
            24.2 When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent
regarding a real estate transaction, a Buyer or Seller should from the outset
understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the
agent or agents in the transaction. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised
by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:
                  (a) Seller’s Agent. A Seller’s agent under a listing agreement
with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller’s agent or
subagent has the following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Seller: A
fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with
the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable
skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and
fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent
materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not
known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties. An
agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information
obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set
forth above.
                  (b) Buyer’s Agent. A selling agent can, with a Buyer’s
consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the
agent is not the Seller’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive
compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller.
An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations. (1)
To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty
in dealings with the Buyer. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent
exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b.
A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all
facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the
property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation
of, the Parties. An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any
confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve
the affirmative duties set forth above.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

                  (c) Agent Representing Both Seller and Buyer. A real estate
agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can
legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only
with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. (1) In a dual
agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both
the Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty
and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other duties to
the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections (a) or
(b) of this paragraph 24.2. (2) In representing both Seller and Buyer, the agent
may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the
other Party that the Seller will accept a price less than the listing price or
that the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) The above
duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or
Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer and Seller
should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express
their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person
qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired,
consult a competent professional.
                  (d) Further Disclosures. Throughout this transaction Buyer and
Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents
assisting in the transaction. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents
each time it is presented, considering the relationship between them and the
real estate agent in this transaction and that disclosure. Brokers have no
responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The
liability (including court costs and attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with
respect to any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Agreement
shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Agreement;
provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s liability
shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Broker.
            24.3 Confidential Information: Buyer and Seller agree to identify to
Brokers as “Confidential” any communication or information given Brokers that is
considered by such Party to be confidential.
25.      Construction of Agreement. In construing this Agreement, all headings
and titles are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not be
considered a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, the
singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Unless otherwise specifically
indicated to the contrary, the word “days” as used in this Agreement shall mean
and refer to calendar days. This Agreement shall not be construed as if prepared
by one of the parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as
if both parties had prepared it.
26      Additional Provisions:
Additional provisions of this offer, if any, are as follows or are attached
hereto by an addendum consisting of paragraphs 26 . 1 through 26.1 . (If there
are no additional provisions write “NONE”.)
26.1 1031 Exchange: Should Seller attempt to complete a 1031 Tax Deferred
Exchange, Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller and sign all required documents
provided Buyer does not incur any additional liability or cost.
