      A.    Seller owns that certain Property (as hereafter defined) commonly
known as Icehouse One and Icehouse Two, in the City and County of San Francisco,
State of California, as more particularly described below.

      B.    Buyer desires to purchase the Property from Seller, and Seller
desires to sell the Property to Buyer, on the terms and conditions set forth
herein.

                                A G R E E M E N T

      NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and mutual
agreements set forth herein, and other valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

      1.    EXECUTION OF AGREEMENT

      This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date set forth
above.

      2.    PROPERTY SUBJECT TO AGREEMENT

      On and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller
hereby agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase from Seller
all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to the following:

            2.1   Land. That certain land described in Exhibit A attached
hereto, and all appurtenant rights, privileges and easements thereto
(collectively, the "Land").

            2.2   Improvements. All of Seller's right, title and interest in and
to all buildings, structures, fixtures (but specifically excluding any
improvements or fixtures that are the property of Bank of America under the ATM
Lease), landscaping and other improvements located on the Land (collectively,
the "Improvements"). The Land and the Improvements are collectively referred to
herein as the "Real Property;"

            2.3   ATM Lease. All of Seller's right, title and interest as lessor
in and to the ATM lease with Bank of America, to the extent it is in effect on
the Closing Date (the "ATM Lease");

            2.4   Contracts. To the extent transferable without consent, all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to any and all service contracts for

<PAGE>   6

            2.5   Personal Property. The tangible personal property owned by
Seller and described in the Bill of Sale (the "Personal Property"). The Land,
the Improvements, the ATM Lease, the Contracts and the Personal Property are
collectively referred to herein as the "Property."

            2.6   Certain Personal Property, Parking, Generator Access, and
Continued Occupancy.

                  (a)   Except for the Personal Property described in the Bill
of Sale, the Property shall not include, and Seller shall have the right to
remove from the Property, its computers, copiers and other office equipment, and
its furniture, work stations, signage, emblems, trade materials, logos and art
work from the Property.

                  (b)   Pursuant to an agreement of record dated October 24,
1973 ("Parking Agreement"), the owner of the Levi's Plaza property is to make
available for rental up to 120 off-street parking spaces in parking facilities
within or near Levi's Plaza and/or within a permissible distance from the
Property as provided in such Parking Agreement. For the term of Seller's
existing leases of space in Levi's Plaza (as amended from time to time and as
extended under options or otherwise), or for so long as Seller (or any
successor-in-interest to Seller by way of merger, consolidation, the sale of all
or substantially all of Seller's assets or stock, or other business arrangement)
is a tenant or occupant of any portion of the Levi's Plaza property, to the
extent Buyer elects to rent more than sixty (60) parking spaces under the
Parking Agreement, Buyer agrees to use its best efforts to satisfy its right to
rent more than sixty (60) parking spaces under the Parking Agreement by renting
any excess over such sixty (60) of such parking spaces in parking facilities
other than the garage at 1155 Battery Street. If in Seller's reasonable judgment
it may be necessary or appropriate to seek any municipal consents or to amend
the Parking Agreement to implement the foregoing agreement, Buyer shall support
and cooperate with Seller in such efforts. At Seller's request, the parties
shall execute and cause to be recorded at Closing a memorandum of the parties'
agreement described in this Section 2.6(b).

                  (c)   Seller currently uses a generator located on the ground
floor of Icehouse One to serve certain important electrical needs for Seller's
premises at Levi's Plaza. Pursuant to the Access Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit B (the "Access Agreement"), Buyer agrees to grant to Seller continued
access and the right to use such area of the Property for the use, operation and
maintenance of the generator.

                  (d)   For a period not to exceed the later of the date which
is (i) seventy-five (75) days following the Closing, or (ii) May 1, 2000, Seller
shall be permitted to continue to occupy rent-free and conduct its business in a
portion of the Property, consisting of approximately 30,000 square feet,
comprised of the 7th floor of Ice House One, the 1st floor of Ice House Two, and
the Ice House One 1st floor switch and IT server room. Seller shall continue to
own and shall have the right to remove its office and telecommunications
equipment and furniture located in the space, and, upon the termination of such
occupancy, Seller agrees, if so requested by Buyer, to repair any material
damage to the Property caused by Seller's removal of its furniture and equipment
from such space. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to provide for
Buyer's phased occupancy of the Property.

          The provisions of this Section 2.6 shall survive the Closing.

      3.    PURCHASE PRICE, PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

            3.1   Purchase Price. Buyer agrees to pay, and Seller agrees to
accept, as consideration for the conveyance of the Property to Buyer, the sum of
Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000.00) (the "Purchase Price"). The Purchase
Price shall be payable in full as set forth below.

            3.2   Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid by
Buyer as follows:

                  (a)   Concurrently with its execution and delivery of this
Agreement to Seller, Buyer shall deposit the sum of Seven Million Five Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($7,500,000.00) (the "Deposit") in immediately available funds
with Seller. The Deposit is and shall be non-refundable to Buyer, and may be
used and retained by Seller, subject to return to Buyer only in the event Seller
defaults under this Agreement, as provided in Section 3.4.

                  (b)   The balance of the Purchase Price (i.e., the Purchase
Price minus the Deposit, and all credits and prorations in favor of Buyer, if
any), together with Buyer's share of all closing costs and any prorations
charged to Buyer, shall be placed into Escrow (as defined below) by wire
transfer of immediately available funds not later than one business day before
the Closing Date. Buyer shall cause Escrow Holder to pay to Seller, by wire
transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by Seller, the
Purchase Price (as adjusted by Seller's share of credits, prorations and closing
costs) no later than 11:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) on the Closing Date.

            3.3   Intentionally deleted.

            3.4   Deposit as Liquidated Damages. IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AS
CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER IS NOT CONSUMMATED, THEN UNLESS BUYER HAS VALIDLY AND
TIMELY EXERCISED ITS TERMINATION RIGHTS SET FORTH IN ARTICLE 10, OR UNLESS THE
FAILURE TO CONSUMMATE THE SALE IS DUE SOLELY TO A DEFAULT OF SELLER, SELLER
SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT BY BUYER
WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY
PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, THE PARTIES AGREE AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DEPOSIT
HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES' REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF
SELLER'S DAMAGES. THE PARTIES FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE DEPOSIT HAS BEEN
AGREED UPON AS SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER IN THE EVENT OF
SUCH A DEFAULT ON THE PART OF BUYER OR A FAILURE TO CLOSE AS PROVIDED ABOVE,
OTHER THAN THE OBLIGATIONS OF BUYER HEREIN WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION
OR CANCELLATION HEREOF. IN ADDITION, BUYER SHALL PAY ALL TITLE AND ESCROW
CANCELLATION CHARGES.

      IF THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR DUE SOLELY TO A DEFAULT OF SELLER, THEN THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL TERMINATE AND BUYER, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, SHALL BE
ENTITLED TO THE RETURN OF THE DEPOSIT, AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER
RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS TO THE OTHER HEREUNDER OTHER THAN THE OBLIGATIONS


                                       3
<PAGE>   8

WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OR CANCELLATION HEREOF. IN ADDITION, SELLER
SHALL PAY ALL TITLE AND ESCROW CANCELLATION CHARGES. AS MATERIAL AND SUBSTANTIAL
INDUCEMENT TO SELLER TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY
WAIVES AND AGREES NOT TO CLAIM OR ASSERT ANY RIGHT WHICH BUYER MAY HAVE TO (a)
SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR ANY OTHER EQUITABLE REMEDY, (b) RECORD OR FILE A LIS
PENDENS OR OTHER MATTER AFFECTING TITLE TO OR ANY INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY, (c)
CLAIM A VENDEE'S LIEN UPON THE PROPERTY, OR (d) DAMAGES AGAINST SELLER.
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN THE EVENT THAT SELLER HAS BREACHED THIS
AGREEMENT BY WRONGFULLY REFUSING TO CONVEY TITLE TO THE PROPERTY AS PROVIDED
HEREIN, BUYER MAY PURSUE AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AGAINST SELLER
PROVIDED THAT (e) SELLER SHALL NOT BE REQUIRED TO PERFORM ANY ACT IN CONNECTION
WITH SUCH CONVEYANCE, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, AND (f) BUYER
SHALL COMMENCE ANY SUCH ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS
OF SELLER'S WRONGFUL REFUSAL TO CONVEY TITLE TO THE PROPERTY AS PROVIDED HEREIN.
BUYER SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO RECORD A LIS PENDENS AGAINST THE PROPERTY OTHER
THAN IN CONNECTION AND CONCURRENTLY WITH THE FILING OF SUCH SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
ACTION.

                  (a)   General real estate taxes and assessments against the

sixty-five (365) day year. Seller shall be charged (or credited, if already

Date and Buyer shall be charged for all of the same on and after the Closing
Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, Seller shall

Month") shall be prorated as of the Closing Date. All of these amounts for the
Current Month which have been received as of the Closing Date shall be prorated
on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Month prior to,
but not including, the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to Seller) and the
number of days in the Current Month from and after the Closing Date (which shall
be allocated to Buyer).

                  (c)   Prepaid rentals and other prepaid tenant charges for
periods after the Current Month, and the current balance of the security
deposit, if any (including any portion thereof which may be designated as
prepaid rent), under the ATM Lease, if and to the extent that such deposit is in
Seller's actual possession and has not been otherwise applied by Seller to any
obligations of the tenant under the ATM Lease, shall be credited against the
Purchase Price, and upon the closing of the transaction contemplated hereby,
Buyer shall assume full responsibility for the security deposit to be refunded
to the tenant under the ATM Lease (to the extent the same is required to be
refunded by the terms of the ATM Lease).

                  (d)   All charges under Contracts and any other expenses of
the Property shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days
in the then current billing period for such service provider or other payee
prior to, but not including, the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to
Seller), and the number of days in such current billing period from and after
the Closing Date (which shall be allocated to the Buyer), and assuming that all
charges are incurred uniformly during such current billing period. If actual
bills for such current billing period are unavailable as of the Closing Date,
then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most
recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills. Any
amount shown to be owed by Seller as a result of the foregoing proration shall
be credited to Buyer at the Closing, and any amounts shown to be owed to Seller
as a result of the foregoing proration shall be credited to Seller at Closing.

                  (e)   Prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall review and
approve the prorations set forth in this Section 7.6. If the actual amounts to
be prorated are not known as of the Closing Date, the prorations shall be made
on the basis of the best information then available. When actual figures are
later received, a cash settlement thereof will promptly be made between Seller
and Buyer by delivery of a check or cashier's check to the party that is owed a
sum of money, which check shall be delivered within ten (10) business days after
the parties have calculated such post-closing prorations. The provisions of this
Section shall survive the Closing.

            7.7   Closing Costs and Expenses. Buyer shall pay all recording
costs, title insurance premiums, the cost of any title endorsements, and the
Escrow Holder's fees. Seller shall pay the City and County of San Francisco
documentary transfer taxes. Each party shall pay



                                       9
<PAGE>   14

its own attorneys' fees. Any other closing costs shall be allocated in
accordance with local custom.

            7.8   Insurance; Utilities. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will
cause its policies of casualty and liability insurance, if any, to be terminated
with respect to the Property as of the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible
for obtaining its own insurance and utilities as of the Closing Date and
thereafter. All utilities shall be transferred to Buyer's name as of the Closing
Date. Any deposits for utilities made by Seller shall be refunded to Seller and
Buyer shall arrange for any required replacements therefor.

            7.9   Close of Escrow. Provided that (i) Escrow Holder has received
the documents and funds described in Sections 7.3, 7.4 and 7.5 hereof, and (ii)
Escrow Holder has not received prior written notice from either party to the
effect that an agreement of either party made hereunder has not been performed
or to the effect that any condition set forth herein has not been satisfied or
waived, Escrow Holder is authorized and instructed at 8:00 a.m. on the Closing
Date (or as soon thereafter as practicable) to:

                  (e)   Deliver the Bill of Sale to Buyer;

                  (f)   Deliver to Bank of America the Tenant Notice Letter; and

comply with the instructions herein (or as may be provided later), Escrow Holder

documents. If Escrow Holder is unable to cause the recording, Escrow Holder
shall notify the parties without delay. Immediately after the Closing, Escrow
Holder shall deliver to Buyer and Seller, respectively, at their addresses
listed in Section 11.1 hereof, a true, correct and complete copy of the Seller's
and Buyer's Closing Statements, in forms customarily prepared by Escrow Holder,
as well as all other instruments and documents to be delivered to Buyer and
Seller.

valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Two Hundred

                                       11
<PAGE>   16

connection herewith, must be asserted, if at all, and a complaint must be filed,

      9.    POSSESSION

            Seller shall deliver possession of the Property to Buyer on the
Closing Date, subject to the rights of the tenant under the ATM Lease and
Seller's rights under the Access Agreement.

      10.   LOSS BY FIRE OR OTHER CASUALTY: CONDEMNATION

            10.1  Damage or Destruction.

                  (a)   For purposes of this Section 10.1, the term "materially
destroyed or damaged" shall mean damage or destruction that would cost in excess
of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to repair. If, before the Closing, the
Improvements are materially destroyed or damaged by an insured casualty either
party may elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party given
within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty. If, before the Closing,
the Improvements are damaged to any extent and such casualty is not insured by
Seller, Seller may elect to terminate this Agreement by notice to Buyer given
within thirty (30) days of the date of such casualty. In the event either party
elects to terminate this Agreement as provided above, this Agreement shall be of
no further force or effect and, except for those provisions which expressly
survive termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights,
duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason thereof. In the event
of such termination, the cancellation costs (if any) of the Title Company and
Escrow Holder shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller, each party shall bear
its own costs incurred hereunder, and the Deposit, less Buyer's share of Title
Company and Escrow Holder cancellation costs, shall be returned to Buyer. In the
event that this Agreement is not terminated by either party pursuant to this
Section 10.1(a), Buyer shall be obligated to purchase the Property as
contemplated herein, Seller shall assign to Buyer all Seller's rights to
proceeds under Seller's policy of casualty insurance, and the Purchase Price
shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance deductible; provided that in the
case of any uninsured loss, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the
reasonable cost of repairing the damage or destruction resulting therefrom.

                  (b)   If, before the Closing, the Improvements are damaged,
such damage would cost less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) to repair,
and such damage is covered by Seller's insurance (allowing for standard
deductibles), then this Agreement shall not terminate, Buyer shall be obligated
to purchase the Property as contemplated herein, Seller shall assign to Buyer
all Seller's rights to proceeds under Seller's policy of casualty insurance, and
the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any insurance deductible.

            10.2  Condemnation.

                  (a)   If, before the Closing, all of the Property shall be
taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or deed given under threat of eminent
domain), this



                                       12
<PAGE>   17

Agreement shall be automatically terminated. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be
null and void and of no further force or effect and, except for those provisions
which expressly survive termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any
further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the other by reason
thereof. In the event of such termination, the cancellation costs of the Title
Company and Escrow Holder shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller, each party
shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder, and the Deposit, less Buyer's share
of Title Company and Escrow Holder cancellation costs, shall be returned to
Buyer.

                  (b)   If, before the Closing, a material portion of the
Property shall be taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or deed given under
threat of eminent domain), then Buyer, at Buyer's option, may terminate this
Agreement by providing written notice of such termination to Seller within ten
(10) days of Buyer's receipt of written notice of the taking (Buyer's failure to
give such notice within such period shall be deemed an election not to terminate
this Agreement). If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, paragraph (c),
below, shall apply. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement under this
paragraph (b), this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and, except
for those provisions which expressly survive termination, neither Buyer nor
Seller shall have any further rights, duties, liabilities or obligations to the
other by reason thereof. For purposes of this Section 10.2, the term "material
portion" shall mean any portion of the Property having a value in excess of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or that materially impairs the access to the
Property. In the event of such termination, the cancellation costs of the Title
Company and Escrow Holder shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller, each party
shall bear its own costs incurred hereunder, and the Deposit, less Buyer's share
of Title Company and Escrow Holder cancellation costs, shall be returned to
Buyer.

                  (c)   If this Agreement is not terminated in accordance with
the foregoing, Buyer shall accept title to the Property subject to such taking.
In such event, at the Closing the Seller's interest, if any, in proceeds from
the taking of the Property condemned shall be assigned by Seller to Buyer.

      11.   MISCELLANEOUS

            The provisions of this Article 11 shall survive Closing and any
termination of this Agreement.

such systems (collectively the "Equipment"). Grantor has agreed to grant to
LS&CO easements and other rights to enable LS&CO to continue to use, maintain,
repair and replace the Generator, the UPS and the Equipment, as described
herein.

cooperate to determine whether and to what extent the Generator may be used by
Grantor. In all events, LS&CO shall have no liability and Grantor fully releases
LS&CO of and from any and all claims, damages, costs, losses and liability
related to the Generator, UPS or Equipment, including, without limitation, any
of the same caused by or arising from any change or interruption in the
