**5.3**           **“****AS
      IS” SALE**.  IT IS EXPRESSLY UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT
      BUYER IS ACQUIRING EACH OF THE PROPERTIES “AS IS,” IN ITS PRESENT STATE AND
      CONDITION, WITHOUT ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES FROM SELLERS, OR ANY OF

      Properties.  As a result, Buyer hereby expressly waives any notice
      requirements which may be imposed upon any Seller pursuant to § 25359.7 of the
      California Health & Safety Code or any other similar and applicable
      Laws.  If this Agreement is not terminated and Buyer acquires the
      Properties as provided herein, Buyer shall have thereby approved all aspects
      of
      each of the Properties and this transaction and thereby waives any claim or
      Liability against Sellers, and each of them.  In furtherance of the
      foregoing, at the Closing, Buyer shall and shall cause each Lessee to execute
      and deliver to Sellers the Release of Claims. The provisions of this Section
      5.3
      shall survive the Closing.





**5.4**           **Seller’s
      Conditions**.  Provided that Sellers are not in breach or
      default of any provision of this Agreement, the obligation of each Seller to
      sell the Properties (and each of them) shall be subject to satisfaction of
      each
      of the conditions set forth in this Section 5.4.  Sellers and Buyer
      expressly acknowledge and agree that each of the conditions set forth in this
      Section 5.4 is for the benefit of and may be waived only by Sellers in
      writing.





**5.4.1**            **No
      Default Under Master Leases**.  Prior to the Closing,
      (a) no Event of Default, or event which with notice and/or passage of time
      would constitute an Event of Default by the applicable Lessee under any Master
      Lease shall have occurred and be continuing and (b) all Rent and Charges
      shall be paid as and when due under each Master Lease, through but not including
      the Closing Date.





**5.4.2**            **Purchase
      of All Properties**.****The Closing hereunder
      shall occur simultaneously with respect to all of the Properties.





**5.4.3**            **Occurrence
      of Closing by the Outside Closing Date**.  The Closing
      shall occur on or before the Outside Closing Date.





**5.4.4**            **Related
      Purchase Agreements**.  The Related Purchase Agreement
      Closing under each Related Purchase Agreement shall occur simultaneous with
      the
      Closing.  In addition, no Related Purchase Agreement Buyer Default
      under any Related Purchase Agreement shall have occurred and be
      continuing.





**5.4.5**            **Buyer’s
      Representations and Warranties**.  Buyer’s representations
      and warranties set forth in Section 8 below shall be true and correct in all
      material respects on the Closing Date as if made again on the Closing
      Date.


8


**5.4.6**            **Buyer’s
      Performance**.  Buyer shall have performed all of its
      obligations under this Agreement which by the terms of the Agreement are
      required to be performed by Buyer as of or prior to the Closing
      Date.





**5.5**           **Sellers’
      Approval, Disapproval or Waiver of Conditions****.**
      Prior to the Closing, Sellers shall notify Buyer and Escrow Holder in writing
      in
      the event that as of the date of Closing, any of the conditions set forth in
      Section 5.4 have not been satisfied or waived by Sellers; provided, however,
      that if any of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.4.2 , 5.4.3 or 5.4.4
      have
      not been satisfied as a result of any act or omission of Sellers or any
      Affiliate of Sellers, then Sellers shall not be entitled to disapprove such
      condition, but rather the same shall, following any applicable notice and cure
      period pursuant to Section 7.2 below, constitute a default by Sellers
      hereunder.  In the event that Sellers are not entitled to disapprove a
      condition or Sellers fail to approve, disapprove or waive such condition, if
      applicable, prior to the Closing, then such condition shall be deemed
      conclusively satisfied or waived by Sellers and thereafter shall not be a
      condition precedent to the performance by Sellers of their respective
      obligations hereunder.

      Agreement to mean the time and date the transactions contemplated hereby are
      closed and the Deed or other applicable conveyance instrument has been delivered
      to Buyer through Escrow, regardless whether the applicable Deed or other
      conveyance instrument is actually recorded in the land records in which the
      applicable Property is situated.  The term “Closing Date” as used in
      this Agreement means the date that the Closing occurs.





**6.2**           **Deposits
      by Sellers**.  At or before 5:00 p.m., local time in Los
      Angeles, California, on that date which is not less than one (1) business day

      Escrow Holder the following items for handling as described below; provided,
      however, that Escrow need not be concerned with the form or content but only
      with manual delivery of all of the following other than item 6.2.1:





**6.2.1**            **Deeds**.  With
      respect to each Property, a duly executed and acknowledged grant deed, special

      attached hereto as **Exhibit “D”** or such other form as
      reasonably acceptable to Sellers and Buyer.





**6.2.3**            **[Intentionally

      express representation or warranty of any Seller set forth in Section 8 hereof
      needs to be modified due to changes since the Effective Date, a certificate
      of
      such Seller, dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of such Seller
      by a duly authorized representative thereof, identifying any such representation
      or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct and explaining
      the
      state of facts giving rise to the change.  In no event shall any
      Seller have any Liability to Buyer for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder
      by reason of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
      8
      hereof which results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective
      Date
      and the Closing Date, and (ii) is either expressly permitted under the terms
      of
      this Agreement or beyond the reasonable control of such Seller to
      prevent.  The occurrence of a change in a representation or warranty
      which is permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of any Seller
      to prevent shall, if materially adverse to Buyer, constitute the non-fulfillment
      of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.1 hereof.  If, despite
      changes or other matters described in such certificate, the Closing occurs,
      any
      applicable Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement

      required to execute and deliver a so-called owner’s or ALTA affidavit or
      indemnity or a mechanics’ lien indemnity with respect to any Property, except in
      form and substance acceptable to such Seller in its sole, but reasonable
      discretion, and in any event any such affidavit shall be limited to (a) the
      actual knowledge of such Seller (without investigation or the duty to
      investigate) and (b) the direct actions of Seller;





**6.2.7**            **Closing
      Statement**.  A duly executed and acknowledged counterpart
      of a joint buyer/seller estimated closing statement to be prepared by Escrow

**6.2.8**            **Additional
      Items**.  Any additional funds and/or instruments, signed
      and properly acknowledged by Sellers, if appropriate, as may be necessary to

      be
      more particularly set forth on the Closing Statement;





**6.3.2**            **[Intentionally
      Deleted]**;





**6.3.3**            **[Intentionally
      Deleted]**; .





**6.3.4**           
      **[Intentionally Deleted]**;





**6.3.5**         
        **[Intentionally Deleted]**;





**6.3.6**           
      **Buyer’s Certificate****.**  If any
      representation or warranty of Buyer set forth in Section 8 hereof needs to
      be
      modified due to changes since the Effective Date, a certificate of Buyer
      addressed to Sellers, dated as of the Closing Date and executed on behalf of
      Buyer by a duly authorized representative thereof, identifying any such
      representation or warranty which is not, or no longer is, true and correct
      and
      explaining the state of facts giving rise to the change.  In no event
      shall Buyer have any Liability to Sellers for, or be deemed to be in default
      hereunder by reason of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth
      in
      Section 8 hereof which results from any change that (i) occurs between the
      Effective Date and the Closing Date and (ii) is either expressly permitted
      under
      the terms of this Agreement or is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to
      prevent.  The occurrence of a change in a representation or warranty
      which is permitted hereunder or is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to
      prevent shall, if materially adverse to Sellers, or any of them, constitute
      the
      non-fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4.5
      hereof.  If, despite changes or other matters described in such
      certificate, the Closing occurs, Buyer’s representations and warranties set
      forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have been modified by all statements
      made in such certificate;





**6.3.7**            **Evidence
      of Authority**.  Such certificates or documents as may be
      reasonably required by Escrow Holder in order to cause each Title Policy to
      be
      issued and the Close of Escrow to occur;





**6.3.8**            **Closing
      Statement**.  A duly executed and acknowledged counterpart
      of the Closing Statement; and





**6.3.9**            **Additional
      Items**.  Any additional Funds and/or instruments, signed
      and properly acknowledged by Buyer, if appropriate, as may be necessary to
      comply with Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement.





**6.4**           **Title
      Policies**.  At the Close of Escrow, but not as a condition
      thereto, Buyer shall be entitled to request and obtain from Title Company if
      so
      requested by Buyer, with a copy to be delivered to each applicable Seller,
      a
      policy of title insurance with respect to each Property, insuring good and
      indefeasible title to such Property vested in Buyer as of the Closing Date
      in
      the amount of the applicable Allocated Purchase Price, subject to such matters
      of record or apparent as Buyer and Title Company may agree (each, a “Title
      Policy”) and including such endorsements thereto as Buyer may request and Title
      Company agrees to issue (the “Title Endorsements”).  The cost of each
      Title Policy and all Title Endorsements thereto shall be borne by the parties
      as
      provided in Section 6.6 below.

      and Other Expenses**.  Buyer and Sellers acknowledge and
      agree that the each Master Lease is absolutely net to the applicable Lessor,
      and
      that each applicable Lessee is solely responsible for any and all Impositions,
      insurance premiums, utility charges and other expenses incurred in connection
      with the operation, maintenance and use of the respective
      Property.  Accordingly, Buyer and/or the applicable Lessee shall be
      solely responsible for all such amounts whether accruing prior to or after
      the
      Closing and there shall be no prorations on account thereof between Buyer and
      Sellers hereunder.  Any adjustments or prorations of such amounts
      between Buyer and any Lessee shall be solely between such parties and neither

(f)           all

      of
      1986, as amended (“1031 Exchange”); provided, however, such 1031 Exchange shall
      not be a condition to any Seller’s obligation to close the transactions
      contemplated by this Agreement; provided further, however, that Sellers shall
      be
      entitled, in their sole discretion, to extend the Closing Date (including the
      Outside Closing Date) for up to ten (10) days by written notice delivered to
      Buyer and Escrow Holder no less than three (3) days prior to the

      by Buyer**. If Buyer is entitled to and in fact disapproves any of
      the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1.1 through 5.1.5, inclusive, then Escrow

      terminating this Agreement and Escrow pursuant to this Section 7.1.2, Sellers
      shall be entitled to exercise their remedies pursuant to Section 7.2
      below.  In addition, without limiting the foregoing, the parties

**7.2**           **Termination
      by Reason of Default**.  If the Closing fails to occur when
      and as provided in Section 6 above by reason of a breach or default (or deemed
      default as provided in the last sentence of either of Section 7.1.1 or Section
      7.1.2 above) of either party of any of its duties, obligations, representations
      or warranties under this Agreement, then the non-defaulting party may elect, by
      written notice to the defaulting party and to Escrow Holder, to terminate Escrow
      and this Agreement, and the Master Purchase Agreement shall govern the
      disbursement of the Earnest Money Deposit as provided therein.  Such
      termination shall be effective five (5) days after delivery of such notice

      reason of the defaulting party’s breach or default; and (ii) the defaulting
      party has not cured the default and the non-defaulting party has not waived

      Purchase Agreement, Escrow Holder and the parties shall, upon such termination,
      return all of the other party’s funds and documents then held by them to the
      party depositing or delivering the same.  Thereafter, each of the
      parties shall be discharged and released from all obligations and Liabilities
      except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.2 and Section 6.6.5 above and
      in
      the Master Purchase Agreement and except for those obligations and Liabilities
      which are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement,

      be liable for the cancellation and other charges and expenses provided for
      in

      except as provided in Section 6.6.5, in no event whatsoever shall Sellers ever
      have any Liability (whether in law or equity) for damages as a result of a
      default by Sellers under this Agreement.





**7.3**           **Relationship
      to Master Leases****.**Notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary in this Agreement, no termination of this Agreement
      and
