on the terms and conditions set forth therein.



     B. Buyer and Seller desire to amend the Purchase Agreement on each and all of the terms,
provisions and conditions contained herein.



     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises, terms and conditions contained herein
and such other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:



     1. Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein but not otherwise
defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms as set forth in the Purchase
Agreement.



     2. Purchase Price. The following language at the beginning of Section
2 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted:




“Subject to the charges, prorations and other adjustments set forth in this
Agreement, the total purchase price of the Property shall be One Hundred Twenty
Seven Million Dollars ($127,000,000.00) (“Purchase Price”)”;


and the following language is hereby added at the beginning of Section 2 of the Purchase

“Subject to the charges, prorations and other adjustments set forth in this
Agreement, the total purchase price of the Property shall be One Hundred Twenty Five
Million Dollars ($125,000,000.00) (“Purchase Price”)”.

the Additional Deposit released to Seller under this Section shall nevertheless be deemed at
all times to comprise a portion of the Additional Deposit.”



     4. Section 2.1.4. Section 2.1.4 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and
restated in its entirety as follows:




“Except to the extent that any portion of the Deposit is released by Escrow Holder
to Seller as expressly permitted by this Agreement, Escrow Holder
shall place the Deposit into an interest-bearing money market account at a bank or
other financial institution reasonably satisfactory to Buyer, and interest thereon
shall be credited to Buyer’s account.”



     5. Closing. Section 7.2.1 of the Purchase Agreement, which provides
“Escrow shall close (“Closing”) on the date that is thirty (30) days following the end of the
Inspection Period, or such earlier date as shall be mutually agreed to by the parties” is hereby
deleted, and replaced with the following: “Escrow shall close (“Closing”) on Thursday, September
14, 2006, or such earlier date as shall be mutually agreed to by the parties.”



     6. Leasing Costs.



          (a) Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that no new leases or amendments to
existing Leases have been entered into by Seller during the period commencing with the Effective
Date and ending on the date that is five (5) business days prior to the Due Diligence Expiration
Date and, accordingly, Buyer shall not bear any tenant improvement costs or leasing commissions
pursuant to Section 7.6.1(f)(B) of the Purchase Agreement.




          (b) Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that Seller’s obligations under the second
paragraph of Section 7.6.1(f) of the Purchase Agreement include the obligation to pay for (via a

lease dated June 5, 2006, by and between Vibrant Media, as tenant, and Seller, as landlord, which
tenant improvement costs and commissions are identified on Exhibit E to the Purchase

with the following:




For good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the undersigned,                     , a                     
(“Seller”), does hereby give, grant, bargain, sell,
transfer, assign, convey and deliver to                    , a                    
(“Buyer”), all personal property of Seller located on, in, or used or useful in

Hawthorne and 95 Hawthorne, which personal property includes, without
limitation, that personal property listed on Exhibit A attached hereto.


Seller and Buyer agree that Exhibit A to the Bill of Sale shall be in the form of Exhibit B
attached to this Amendment.




     9. Estoppels. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has obtained and delivered to
Buyer prior to the Due Diligence Date estoppels in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer from
Tenants representing seventy percent (70%) of the leasable area of the Real Property that was
leased and occupied as of the Effective Date as required by Section 10.1.3 of the Purchase
Agreement; provided, however, Buyer does not waive the requirement that all estoppels be dated
within forty-five (45) days of Closing. The third sentence in Section 10.1.3 of the Purchase
Agreement which reads “Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) business days of receipt of a
copy of the executed estoppel certificate of its approval or disapproval and the basis of such
disapproval, if disapproved” is hereby deleted.



     10. Reaffirmation of Purchase Agreement. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and
agree that the Purchase Agreement, as modified by this Amendment, is hereby reaffirmed, ratified
and confirmed in its entirety. Except as modified by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of
the Purchase Agreement shall remain unchanged. If there is any conflict between the terms and
provisions of the Purchase Agreement and this Amendment, the terms and provisions of this Amendment
shall control and prevail. References to the Purchase Agreement in the exhibits to the Purchase
Agreement shall be deemed to refer to, or shall be modified prior to Closing to refer to, the
Purchase Agreement as amended by this Amendment.



     11. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by, construed and enforced
in accordance with, the laws of the State of California.



     12. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts.
All executed counterparts shall constitute one agreement and each counterpart shall be deemed an
original. The parties hereby acknowledge and agree that facsimile signatures or signatures
transmitted by electronic mail in so-called “pdf’ format shall be legal and binding and shall have
the same full force and effect as if an original of this Amendment had been delivered. Seller and
Buyer (i) intend to be bound by the signatures on any document sent by facsimile or electronic
mail, (ii) are aware that the other party will rely on such signatures, and (iii) hereby waive any
defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Amendment based on the foregoing forms of
signatures.



     13. Warranty of Authority. The signatories hereto represent that they have
full and complete authority to bind their respective parties to this Amendment and that no other
consent is necessary or required in order for the signatories to execute this Amendment on
behalf of their respective parties.
