is attributable to a pad included within the Property (the “Pad”) which has been
leased to Sonic.  As of the Effective Date, Seller has not completed

amount shall be payable to Seller as provided above, Buyer shall deposit the
applicable fifty percent (50%) of the Pad Price in escrow with the Title Company
with instructions that it be immediately released to Seller.  If Sonic’s lease
is terminated on account of Sonic’s default or Seller fails to construct Sonic’s
building as required by Sonic’s lease, Seller shall not be entitled to any
portion of the Pad Price or to any other compensation with respect to the Pad.

SEVEN HUNDRED SIXTY-SEVEN THOUSAND AND NO/DOLLARS ($767,000.00) (the “Additional

each of the following events occur within six (6) months after the Closing Date:
(i) mutual execution by Buyer and Anna’s Linens of a written lease renewal
secured by Don Gaube on terms and conditions acceptable to Buyer in its
reasonable discretion, which must include an increase in base rent by an amount
not less than $67,000 per year; and (ii) Anna’s Linens has not defaulted under
the terms of its lease.  If, and only if, all of the events described above

immediately released to Seller.  If, for any reason, all of the above events
have not occurred within six (6) months after the Closing Date, Seller shall not

interest-bearing escrow account with the Title Company in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement.  Upon Buyer’s waiver of its conditions set forth in
Sections 6.1 through 6.3, Buyer shall deposit an additional ONE HUNDRED

timely satisfied or waived by Buyer or in the event this transaction fails to
close as a result of a casualty, condemnation, or default by Seller.

defined in Section 6), Buyer may, at its sole discretion and expense, but
subject to Section 6.2 below: (a) commission a surveyor of Buyer’s choice to
prepare an ALTA survey of the Property; and (b) engage an environmental
consultant of Buyer’s choice to prepare a Phase I environmental site assessment
of the Property and, if recommended by such consultant, obtain a Phase II
environmental site assessment and perform any recommended testing.  Seller shall
cooperate with Buyer’s obtaining such survey and environmental site assessments.
 
5. Title Documents.  On the Effective Date, Seller shall instruct the Title
Company to deliver to Buyer a preliminary commitment for title insurance issued
by the Title Company (the “Preliminary Commitment”), along with all documents,
whether recorded or unrecorded, referred to in the Preliminary Commitment
(“Title Documents”).  Buyer shall have until five (5) business days following
the later of the Effective Date or Buyer’s receipt of the Preliminary Commitment
and the Title Documents to give Seller written notice of Buyer’s disapproval of
any condition or exception to title affecting the Property (“Buyer’s Title
Notice”).  If Buyer disapproves of any such matter of title, then, within five
(5) days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall give Buyer
written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved title conditions
and exceptions, if any, that Seller agrees to eliminate from the title policy
and as exceptions to title, or otherwise to correct.  Seller’s failure to
deliver Seller’s Title Notice within such five (5)-day period shall be deemed
Seller’s election not to eliminate from the title policy the title conditions
and exceptions noted in Buyer’s Title Notice.  If Buyer approves of Seller’s
Title Notice, Seller shall eliminate from the title policy, by the Closing Date,
those disapproved title conditions and exceptions that Seller has elected to
eliminate in Seller’s Title Notice, and any failure to eliminate such exceptions
or cure such objections shall constitute a default by Seller giving rise to the
rights established pursuant to Section B.16 below.  If Buyer does not approve of
Seller’s Title Notice, this Agreement shall terminate as provided in Section
7.  All title exceptions not objected to by Buyer and all title exceptions
Seller elects not to eliminate in Seller’s Title Notice shall be “Permitted
Exceptions.”  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller has no
obligation to remove any matter of title unless Seller has expressly agreed to
do so as provided in this Agreement.
 
6. Buyer’s Closing Conditions.  The conditions set forth in this Section are
solely for the benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer and, except as
otherwise specifically set forth herein, only if such waiver is set forth in a
writing signed by Buyer.  Closing and Buyer’s obligations with respect to the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of
the conditions set forth in Sections 6.1 through 6.3 not later than twenty-one
(21) days after the Effective Date (the “Contingency Period”).  Closing and
Buyer’s obligations with respect to the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement are subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Sections 6.4 to 6.9 on or before the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the above,
if Buyer requires additional time to complete its assumption of the Assumed
Loan, Buyer shall have the right to extend the Contingency Period for up to
thirty (30) additional days by providing written notice to Seller thereof prior
to the expiration of the then current Contingency Period; provided, that Buyer
has promptly complied with all reasonable requests of Lender and

limited liability company to take title to the Property at Closing, Lender
requires Buyer to guaranty such new limited liability company’s obligations
under the Assumed Loan, Buyer elects not to provide such guaranty, and this

conditioned upon (x) Seller obtaining a full release from all obligations under
the Note, the Deed of Trust and the other Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, a release of any guarantor or indemnitor in connection therewith),

its current operations; (b) keep the Property and every portion thereof
consistent with its current operations, subject to ordinary wear and tear;
(c) maintain Seller’s current property damage insurance on the Property; and
(d) not make any material alterations to the Property or remove any personal

the personal property is lost, stolen, irreparably damaged, or replaced with
property of similar quality and quantity.
 
9.2 New Leases.  From and after the Effective Date through the closing or
earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of
any letters of intent for New Leases signed by the prospective tenant (or if no
letter of intent is available, a written description of the material terms of
the New Lease including the name of the tenant; the square footage and location
of the leased premises; the term; any free rent or other lease incentives; the
rent structure including any escalation provisions; projected rent start date,

will enter into a New Lease of any portion of the Property or amend or modify
any current Lease only with the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
9.3 Assignment of Lease.  At Closing, Seller shall assign and Buyer shall assume
Seller’s obligations under all Leases and New Leases, pursuant to an assignment
of leases in the form attached as Exhibit C (the “Assignment of Leases”).

Warranties”); provided, that such contracts and warranties are assignable
without material expense by Seller to Buyer.
 
10. Closing.
 
10.1 Closing Date.  The purchase and sale of the Property will be closed on or
before a date which is not more than seven (7) days after the expiration of the

time as the parties may mutually agree.
 
10.2 Manner and Place of Closing.  This transaction will be closed in escrow at
the offices of Title Company at the address set forth above, or at such other
place as the parties may mutually agree.  Closing shall take place in the manner

10.3 Prorations, Adjustments.  All the then current year’s ad valorem real
property taxes and current utility expenses, and all income under any agreement
concerning the Property that Buyer has approved to survive closing, and all rent

closing occurs shall be prorated and adjusted between the parties as of the
Closing Date.  Rent and other expenses payable by tenants under the Leases which

Seller shall retain the right to collect such amounts.  In addition, "true up"
payments received from tenants attributable to a year-end reconciliation of
actual and budgeted pass-through payments shall be allocated among Seller and
Buyer pro rata in accordance with their respective period of ownership as set
forth below.  The amount of any unapplied security deposits under the Leases
held by Seller in cash at the time of Closing shall be credited against the
Purchase Price; accordingly, Seller shall retain the actual cash deposits.  For
purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the
Property, and, therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for
the expenses thereof for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs.  The
amount of such prorations shall be initially performed at Closing but shall be
subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing as and when complete and
accurate information becomes available, if such information is not available at
the Closing.  Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to
make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing (or as
soon thereafter as may be practicable, with respect to common area maintenance
and other additional rent charges (including pass-throughs for real estate and
personal property taxes and special assessments) payable by tenants under
Leases).  Seller shall pay any loan assumption fees or charges assessed by
Seller’s lender, its servicing agent or other affiliate in connection with the
assignment and assumption of the Assumed Loan.  At closing, if all or any
portion of the Property is specially assessed or taxed due to its use or
classification, Seller shall pay and be solely responsible for any deferred tax,
roll-back tax, special assessment and related charge, fine, penalty or other
amount regardless of the period to which the same relates.  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.  All municipal, county, state,
and federal excise, transfer and documentary stamp taxes shall be paid by Seller
at the time of closing.  This Section 10.3 shall survive the Closing.

15.3 Casualty Not Material.  If the casualty is not Material, then the Closing

of reasonable collection costs (or, if such have not been awarded, all of its
right, title and interest therein) payable with respect to such fire or such
casualty including any rent abatement insurance for such casualty.

reason of any default by Seller, Buyer may elect, as the sole and exclusive
remedy of Buyer, to (i) terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money

whatsoever to Buyer hereunder other than expressly surviving the Closing or (ii)
enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement,
without adjustment to, or credit against, the Purchase Price.  Buyer shall be
deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement (as provided in subsection
(i) above) if Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to
file a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before
thirty (30) days after written notice of termination from Seller or thirty (30)
days after the originally scheduled Closing Date, whichever shall occur first,
or having given Seller notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such cause of
action within sixty (60) days after the originally scheduled Closing
Date.  Seller shall only be in default or breach under this Agreement, if Seller

16.2 Default by Buyer.  In the event that this transaction fails to close by
reason of any default by Buyer, all Earnest Money shall be forfeited by Buyer
and released from escrow to Seller, which shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive
remedy on account of Buyer’s default.  Buyer shall only be in default or breach
under this Agreement, if Buyer has failed to cure a default hereunder within
three (3) business days from Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written notice to cure
such breach.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE
SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT CONSUMMATED BY REASON OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER
HEREUNDER AFTER SELLER HAS GIVEN BUYER NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 16.2
ABOVE, THEN BUYER SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHT TO PURCHASE ALL OR ANY PORTION OF
THE PROPERTY FROM SELLER, AND SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE FROM BUYER THE
EARNEST MONEY AS SELLER’S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD
BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY
SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.  IN ADDITION, BUYER DESIRES TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
DAMAGES FOR WHICH BUYER MIGHT BE LIABLE SHOULD BUYER BREACH THIS AGREEMENT, AND
SELLER DESIRES TO AVOID THE COSTS AND LENGTHY DELAYS THAT WOULD RESULT IF SELLER
WERE REQUIRED TO FILE A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT ITS DAMAGES FOR A BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT.  THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING
AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR

 
18 - Purchase and Sale Agreement

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

 
HEREIN REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS
A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY, EXCEPT FOR BUYER’S
OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH SHALL
REMAIN REMEDIES OF SELLER IN ADDITION TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.  THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED TO BE
AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE
AND REPRESENT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §§
1671 AND 1677.  BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY
CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS SECTION AND THE FACT THAT
SUCH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL OF ITS OWN CHOOSING WHO, AT THE TIME THIS
AGREEMENT WAS MADE, EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS SECTION TO IT.  THIS
SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS WHICH, AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN,
SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.
