        I.           The
parties agree that the Original Agreement is amended and restated, as of January
31, 2008, in its entirety by this Agreement.

         

         

        AGREEMENT

         

        1. PURCHASE
AND SALE

         

        Seller
agrees to sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller,
the Property on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Effective Date”, as used
herein shall mean December 28, 2007.

         

        2. PURCHASE
PRICE

         

        The

            1

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        3. PAYMENT
OF PURCHASE PRICE

         

        The
Purchase Price for the Property shall be payable by Buyer as
follows:

         

        (a) Deposit.  On
or before two (2) business days following the following the Effective Date,
Buyer has paid to Seller the amount of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000)
(together with any interest accrued thereon, the “First Deposit”) which shall be
nonrefundable notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement.  On
or before one (1) business day following the expiration of the Contingency
Period (as defined below), Buyer shall cause an additional Four Million, Four
Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($4,450,000) in immediately available funds
(together with any interest accrued thereon, the “Second Deposit”) in
immediately available funds to be delivered into Escrow with First American
Title Insurance Company, 1737 North First Street, Suite 100, San Jose
California 95112, Attn: Dian Blair (“Escrow
Holder”).  The First Deposit and the Second Deposit shall be
collectively referred to herein as the “Deposit”.  The
Second Deposit shall be invested by Escrow Holder with a financial institution
acceptable to Buyer and Seller in a federally-insured interest-bearing demand
account (with any risk of loss for the account of Buyer), and the Second
Deposit, and all interest accrued on the Second Deposit, shall be credited to
the Purchase Price upon the Close of Escrow.  Following the expiration
of the Contingency Period (as hereinafter defined), unless this Agreement has
been previously terminated or deemed terminated by Buyer pursuant to its rights
set forth in this Agreement, the Second Deposit shall, except as otherwise
provided in this Agreement to the contrary, become
non-refundable.  The Deposit shall be credited against the Purchase
Price at Close of Escrow.  The failure of Buyer to timely deliver any
of the Deposits shall be a material default, and shall entitle Seller, at
Seller’s sole option, to terminate this Agreement immediately by giving written
notice of such termination to Buyer and the Escrow Holder.

         

        (b) Cash at Close of
Escrow.  On or before the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall deposit
with Escrow Holder the remaining portion of the Purchase Price, in immediately
available funds, which shall be paid to Seller at Close of Escrow.

         

        4. ESCROW

         

        (a) Opening of
Escrow.  Seller has opened an escrow (“Escrow”), Escrow
No. NCS-332894-SC, with Escrow Holder on or prior to the Effective
Date.  Buyer and Seller agree to execute and deliver to Escrow Holder,
in a timely manner, all escrow instructions necessary to consummate the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  Any such instructions
shall not conflict with, amend or supersede any portion of this
Agreement.  If there is any inconsistency between such instructions
and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.

         

        (b) Close of
Escrow.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Close of Escrow” shall be
defined as the date that the Grant Deed (as hereinafter defined) is recorded in
the Official Records of the County.  The Close of Escrow shall occur
on or before February 15, 2008 (subject to extension solely pursuant to the
terms and conditions of this Agreement or by the mutual agreement of the parties
in their sole and absolute discretion, the  “Closing Date”).

         

        5. CONDITIONS
OF TITLE

         

        The
Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by Seller by a Grant Deed, in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit F
(“Grant Deed”), subject
only to (a) a lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, bonds and
assessments not delinquent; (b) the lien of supplemental taxes, not
delinquent; and (c) exceptions which are approved and/or accepted by Buyer
in writing in accordance with this Agreement; (d) laws, ordinances or
governmental regulations, including but not limited to, building and zoning
laws, ordinances and regulations, now existing or hereafter in effect with
respect to the Property; (e) matters affecting the condition of title
created by or with the written consent of 

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            2

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

          Buyer;
(f) water rights, and claims of title to water, if shown by the public
records; (g) conflicts in boundary lines, encroachments, and any state of
facts which an inspection of the Property would disclose and which are not shown
by the public records; and (h) standard printed exclusions generally
included in a CLTA owner’s policy (or ALTA owner’s policy, as the case may be)
(collectively, “Approved
Conditions of Title”).  Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby disapproves all liens
evidencing deeds of trust or mortgages or other liens securing monetary
obligations, judgment liens, liens for delinquent real estate property taxes and
assessments and mechanic’s liens, other than mechanics liens solely due to
Buyer, and Seller agrees to cause all such liens to be eliminated at Seller’s
sole cost and expense (including all prepayment penalties and charges) prior to
or concurrently with the Close of Escrow.  Issuance by the Title
Company (or an unconditional commitment to issue) as of the Close of Escrow of
the Title Policy shall constitute the required delivery of title by
Seller.

        

         

        6. CONDITIONS
TO CLOSE OF ESCROW

         

        (a) Conditions to Buyer’s
Obligations.  The Close of Escrow and Buyer’s obligation to
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the
satisfaction of the following conditions (or Buyer’s waiver thereof) which are
for Buyer’s sole benefit, on or prior to the dates designated below for the
satisfaction of such conditions, or the Close of Escrow in absence of a
specified date:

         

        (i) Title and
Survey.

         

        (a) Title.  Buyer
shall have the right to approve any and all matters of and exceptions to title
of the Property, including the legal description, as disclosed by the following
documents and instruments (collectively, “Title
Documents”):  (A) a preliminary title report (“Preliminary Report”) issued by
the Title Company (as hereinafter defined) with respect to the Property and all
matters referenced therein; and (B) legible copies of all documents,
whether recorded or unrecorded, referred to in such Preliminary
Report.  Seller shall cause Escrow Holder to deliver the Title
Documents to Buyer within five (5) calendar days following the Effective
Date.  Buyer shall have ten (10) business days following the
Effective Date to give Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of
Buyer’s approval or disapproval, which shall be made in Buyer’s sole and
absolute discretion, of the legal description and every item or exception
disclosed by the Title Documents.  The failure of Buyer to give
Buyer’s Title Notice to Seller within the specified time period shall be deemed
Buyer’s disapproval of title to the Property.  In the event that
Buyer’s Title Notice disapproves of any matter of title shown in the Title
Documents, Seller shall, within three (3) business days after Buyer’s Title
Notice is received by Seller, give Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”)
(a) that Seller will remove such objectionable exceptions from title on or
before the Close of Escrow, provided that Seller may extend the
Close of Escrow for such period as shall be required to effect such cure, but
not beyond ten (10) days or (b) that Seller elects not to cause such
exceptions to be removed.  If Seller fails to timely give such notice
to Buyer, Seller shall be deemed to have given notice to Buyer under
clause (b).  Seller shall have no obligation to remove any title
exceptions to which Buyer objects other than those that Seller has agreed to
remove in Section 5 above.  The procurement by Seller of a
commitment for the issuance of the Title Policy without any exceptions to which
Buyer has objected or is deemed to have objected or with an endorsement thereto
insuring Buyer against any title exception which was disapproved pursuant to
this section (and so long as such endorsement is acceptable to Buyer in its sole
discretion) shall be deemed a cure by Seller of such disapproval.  In
the event that Seller gives or is deemed to have given Buyer notice under
clause (b) above, Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Contingency
Period to notify Seller in writing that either (1) Buyer is willing to
purchase the Property subject to such disapproved exceptions, or (2) Buyer
elects to cancel this transaction.  

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            3

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

           

          Failure
of Buyer to take either one of the actions described in subsection (1) or
(2) above shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to take the action described in
subsection (2) above.  In the event this Agreement is canceled or
deemed canceled pursuant to this Section, except as otherwise provided herein,
the parties shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, and all
monies delivered to Escrow Holder (other than the First Deposit, which shall be
non-refundable), including any accrued interest thereon, by Buyer shall
immediately be returned to Buyer.  Seller covenants after the
Contingency Period, that Seller will not cause title to the Real Property to
differ from the Approved Conditions of Title described in this
Section.  Any liens, encumbrances, encroachments, easements,
restrictions, conditions, covenants, rights, rights-of-way or other matters
other than the Approved Conditions of Title which may appear of record or be
revealed after the Contingency Period that were not disclosed by the Title
Company or the Survey or otherwise actually known to Buyer prior to the
expiration of the Contingency Period or solely caused by Buyer, shall also be
subject to Buyer’s approval as a condition to the Close of Escrow for Buyer’s
benefit, provided that
Buyer must notify Seller of such objection(s) to title within two (2)
business days of being made aware of the existence of such
exception.  If Buyer gives such a notice to Seller, the provisions of
this Section 6(a)(i)(a) above shall apply as if such notice was a Buyer’s
Title Notice, except that Buyer must respond within three (3) business days
to any response to such notice by Seller.  The parties acknowledge
that Buyer’s Title Notice and Seller’s Title Notice have each been timely
delivered and Buyer has timely made the election referred to in subsection (1)
above with respect to Seller’s Title Notice.

        

         

        (b) Survey.  At
Buyer’s option and at its expense, during the Contingency Period Buyer may
obtain an update of the ALTA survey of the Property provided to Buyer by Seller
(“Survey”).  Buyer may
advise Seller in writing and in reasonable detail, not later than five (5)
business days prior to the close of the Contingency Period, what matters, if
any, shown on the Survey are not acceptable to Buyer (the “Survey
Objections”).  Seller shall have three (3) business days
after receipt of Buyer’s Survey Objections to give Buyer notice that
(a) Seller will remove any Survey Objections (or afford the Title Company
necessary information or certifications to permit it to insure over such
matters) or (b) Seller elects not to cause such matters to be
removed.  Seller’s failure to provide notice to Buyer within such
three (3) business day period as to any Survey Objection shall be deemed an
election by Seller not to remove the Survey Objection.  If Seller so
notifies or is deemed to have notified Buyer that Seller shall not remove any or
all of the Survey Objections, Buyer’s delivery of the Approval Notice pursuant
to Section 6(a)(ii) below shall indicate Buyer’s waiver of such objection
and its determination to proceed with the purchase and take the Property subject
to such matters.  If obtained, Buyer shall promptly deliver a copy of
the Survey to Seller and the Title Company.  It is acknowledged that
Buyer may not be entitled to obtain an ALTA title insurance policy with respect
to the Property if Buyer elects not to timely obtain a Survey on or before
five (5) days before the Close of Escrow with respect to the
Property.  The parties acknowledge that Buyer has obtained an update
of the Survey and that Buyer has no Survey Objections in connection
therewith.

         

        (ii) Inspections and
Studies.  For a period commencing on the Effective Date and
expiring at 5:00 p.m. P.T. on January 31, 2008 (the “Contingency Period”), except
as otherwise extended pursuant to the provisions of this Section, Buyer shall
have the right to review and approve the (A) Documents and Materials (as
hereinafter defined), and (B) conduct any and all inspections,
investigations, tests and studies (including, without limitation, investigations
with regard to zoning, building codes and other governmental regulations,
architectural inspections, engineering tests, economic feasibility studies,
soils, seismic and geologic reports and environmental testing) with respect to
the Property as Buyer may elect to make or maintain.  Any such entry
shall be upon reasonable notice to Seller and Seller shall be afforded the
opportunity to accompany Buyer during such visitations.  Buyer shall
keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens or
claims arising out of any of Buyer’s activities or those of Buyer’s
representatives on or with respect to the Property.

          All
entries onto the Property by Buyer and all inspections and examinations thereof
shall be at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, shall be done in a workmanlike manner
in accordance with all applicable codes, statutes, ordinances, rules,
regulations and laws.  Buyer shall not perform any test or inspection
or carry out any activity at the Property which damages the Property in any way
or which is physically intrusive into the Improvements or soil of the Property
without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller may withhold in its
reasonable discretion and shall be subject to such other reasonable conditions
as may be placed on such testing by Seller, including, without limitation, a
requirement that Buyer provide Seller split samples of any testing performed by
or on behalf of Buyer.  After completion of any such inspection or
study on any portion of the Property, Buyer, at its sole cost and expense shall
repair (which shall include replacement where necessary) any damage to the
Property arising from such entry.  In connection with any inspections
of the Property, Buyer and Buyer’s representatives will carry Commercial General
Liability insurance with a limit of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per
occurrence and, upon the reasonable request of Seller, will provide Seller with
written evidence of same.  Before performing any environmental
inspections or testing of the Property, Buyer shall obtain any required permits
and authorizations and shall pay all applicable fees required by any public body
or agency in connection therewith.  Prior to the expiration of the
Contingency Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written
notice of its approval, which shall be made in Buyer’s sole and absolute
discretion, of the Property and the Documents and Materials (“Approval
Notice”).  The failure of Buyer to deliver such notice prior to
the expiration of the Contingency Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s
disapproval of such matters.  The cost of any such inspections, tests
and/or studies shall be borne by Buyer.  Between the Effective Date
and the Close of Escrow, Buyer, its agents, contractors and subcontractors shall
have the right to enter upon the Property at reasonable times to make any and
all inspections and tests as may be necessary or desirable in Buyer’s sole
judgment and discretion.  Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold
Seller harmless from any and all damage arising out of or in connection with
such entry upon the Property by Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors or
the performance by Buyer or Buyer’s representatives of any testing or
investigations of the Property (“Inspection Indemnity”); provided, however, that such Inspection
Indemnity shall not extend to any damages arising from or related to the
discovery of any pre-existing condition of the Property or to loss of value
resulting from such discovery thereof and/or further excepting the acts or
omissions of Seller or any of Seller’s agents, employees, contractors,
consultants, lessees, licensees or invitees.  In the event Buyer
disapproves or is deemed to have disapproved the condition of the Property
and/or the Documents and Materials prior to the expiration of the Contingency
Period, except as otherwise provided herein, the parties shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement, the Second Deposit including any accrued
interest thereon, shall be immediately returned to Buyer, and Buyer shall return
to Seller any Documents and Materials provided to Buyer during the Contingency
Period.  In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to
the provisions contained in this subsection (ii)(a), Buyer shall be
responsible for all escrow cancellation costs charged by Escrow
Holder.  Buyer and its representatives shall hold in strictest
confidence all confidential data and information obtained with respect to Seller
or the Property and obtained in connection with the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is
understood and agreed that the restrictions set forth herein shall not apply (a)
to disclosures which may otherwise be required by law, or (b) disclosures to
Buyer’s affiliates, and Buyer’s and such affiliates’ respective directors,
officers, partners, members, managers, employees, legal counsel, accountants,
engineers, architects, financial advisors, brokers and similar professionals and
consultants (“Representatives”) provided
that Buyer shall inform such persons to treat such data and information
confidentially.  Buyer shall not be responsible for disclosures of
information which may otherwise become available to the public (other than from
disclosure by a Buyer or its Representatives).  The indemnity
provisions of this Section 6(a)(ii) shall survive the Close of Escrow and
delivery of the Deed and shall further survive any earlier termination of this
Agreement and the confidentiality provisions of this Section 6(a)(ii) shall
survive the termination of this Agreement without a Close of Escrow for a period
of 36 months (and if the Close of Escrow occurs, Buyer’s obligation to keep
confidential information as set forth in this Section 6(a)(ii) shall expire
as of the date of the Close of Escrow).

          Buyer
acknowledges that it has completed the investigations set forth in this Section
6(a)(ii) and is satisfied with the results thereof, and execution of this
Agreement by Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to be timely delivery of Buyer’s
Approval Notice.

        

         

        (iii) Title
Insurance.  As of the Close of Escrow, Title Company shall have
issued or shall have committed to issue the Title Policy (as hereinafter
defined) to Buyer.

         

        (iv) Seller’s
Obligations.  As of the Close of Escrow, Seller shall have

        (vi) No Material
Change.  As of the Close of Escrow, there shall have been no
material change in the condition of the Property between the expiration of the
Contingency Period and the Close of Escrow; provided, however, that the terms and
conditions of Section 18(b) below shall apply as Buyer’s remedy with
respect to any such change in the condition of the Property due to fire or other
casualty.  For purposes of this Section 6(a)(vii), “material” shall be deemed to
be any diminution in the value of the Property which exceeds two million and
0/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000.00).

         

        (vii) Estoppel
Certificates.  As a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation
to close hereunder, Buyer shall have received estoppel certificates dated no
more than thirty (30) days prior to the originally scheduled Close of
Escrow (the “Estoppel
Certificates”) from tenants, excluding Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer
which is also a tenant, that collectively occupy not less than seventy
percent (70%) of (i) the total rentable space actually leased as of
the Effective Date pursuant to valid and existing leases (excluding license
agreements and excluding the space leased by Buyer or any affiliate of Buyer),
less (ii) the total rentable space under lease by Buyer or any affiliate of
Buyer (the Estoppel Certificates to be delivered are collectively referred to as
the “Required Estoppel
Certificates”); it being agreed that receipt of an Estoppel Certificate
from Buyer shall not be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.  The
Estoppel Certificates delivered to the tenants for execution shall be in the
form of Exhibit K
attached hereto (the “Form
Tenant Estoppel Certificate”).  The Estoppel Certificates
executed by tenants shall be in substantially the form of the Form Tenant
Estoppel Certificate; provided, however, that an Estoppel
Certificate executed by a tenant shall not be deemed an unacceptable Estoppel
Certificate for purposes of this Section 6(a)(vii) if it (a) contains
the qualification by the tenant of any statement as being to its knowledge or as
being subject to any similar qualification, or (b) does not contain any
more information than that which the tenant is required to give in any such
certificate pursuant to its lease.  In the event that Seller does not
provide to Buyer the Required Estoppel Certificates on or prior to the third
business day prior to the Closing Date (subject to Seller’s right to extend the
Closing Date set forth in the last sentence of this subsection), Buyer may, by
written notice to Seller given on or prior to the Close of Escrow, either
(A) elect not to purchase the Property, in which event the Second Deposit
shall be returned to Buyer, at which time this Agreement shall terminate and
become null and void and neither party shall have any further rights or
obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive
termination of this Agreement, or (B) elect to purchase the Property
notwithstanding Seller’s inability to provide the Required Estoppel
Certificates, in which event Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the condition
contained in this Section 6(a)(vii).  If Buyer fails to deliver
such written notice as described above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected
item (B) above.  Information disclosed on any Estoppel
Certificate delivered to Buyer prior the Closing shall be deemed to have been
known by Buyer for purposes of the second sentence of Section
14(q).  Seller shall have no liability in connection with Seller’s
representations or warranties set forth herein with respect to a particular
lease to the extent that such representations and warranties are confirmed by
the tenant under such lease in an Estoppel Certificate delivered with respect to
such lease.  Seller
shall have the right to extend the Closing Date to any business day up to and
including March 3, 2008 if Seller determines such extension is necessary to
satisfy the condition set forth in this Section
6(a)(vii).

Buyer’s consultants or agents) concerning the Property, nor shall Buyer be
required to deliver to Seller any document which is privileged or is otherwise
legally protected from disclosure.  The occurrence of the Close of

this Agreement by Seller, in which event (and notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein), so long as Buyer has provided reasonable notice and
opportunity to cure to Seller (if reasonably practicable) with respect to such
intentional default or breach by Seller, Buyer may elect to close the subject
transaction but may make a claim for actual damage to the condition of the
Property incurred as a result of any such intentional default or breach of this
Agreement by Seller; provided
that any such claim shall be limited by the restrictions on claims of
Buyer in connection with a breach of a Seller representation or warranty set
forth in Subsections 14(q)(i) and (ii) of this Agreement.).

            9

Seller if, as, and when collected.  With respect to delinquent rent
existing under the Leases, all amounts collected by Buyer after the Close of
Escrow shall be applied first to the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs,
then to the period following the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs, then
to the period prior to the month in which the Close of Escrow
occurs.  Buyer shall cause its property manager to include the amount
of delinquent rent in the first bills thereafter submitted to the tenants in
question after the Close of Escrow, and shall continue to do so for two (2)
months thereafter.  Buyer shall, upon request from Seller, cause to
its property manager to promptly deliver to Seller a copy of each such bill
submitted to tenants.  After such two (2) month period, Seller
may pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants, but may not sue to
evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants.

         

        (iii) Costs Relating to New
Leases.  Any tenant improvement costs, leasing commissions or
other leasing costs paid or payable pursuant to any New Lease (as hereinafter
defined) entered into in accordance with Section 16(a) shall be prorated
over the term of such New Lease, with Seller being responsible for a portion of
such costs and commissions based on the ratio of base rent payments received by
Seller through the Close of Escrow to the total base rent payable over the term
of such New Lease.

         

        (iv) Security Deposits; Utility
Deposits.  Buyer shall receive a credit at Close of Escrow in
the amount of any unapplied cash security deposits under the
Leases.  In addition, Seller shall assign (to the extent assignable)
and deliver to Buyer at Close of Escrow any and all letters of credit and other
instruments held by Seller as security deposits under Leases.  Seller
shall receive a credit at Close of Escrow in the amount of all refundable cash
or other deposits posted with utility companies servicing the Property which are
duly assigned to Buyer at Close of Escrow.

         

        (v) Utilities.  Water,
electric, telephone and all other utility and fuel charges, fuel on hand (at
cost plus sales tax), and any other payments to utility companies shall be
prorated.  If possible, utility prorations will be handled by final
meter readings on the Close of Escrow.  If final readings are not
possible, or if any such charges are not separately metered, such charges will
be prorated based on the most recent period for which costs are
available.

         

        (vi) Contracts.  Amounts
due and prepayments under the Contracts shall be prorated.

         

        (vii) Fees

        (viii) Tenant Inducement
Costs.  Seller shall be responsible for the payment of any
unpaid Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions with respect to any Lease
in existence as of the Closing Date, unless expressly authorized in writing by
Buyer in connection with a new Lease.  For purposes hereof, the term
“Tenant Inducement
Costs” shall mean any payments required under a Lease to be paid by the
landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in
the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation,
tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs (other than those accruing as a
result of a buyout option executed by Buyer after the Close of Escrow, which
buyout costs shall be Buyer’s sole and exclusive responsibility), moving,
design, and refurbishment, but specifically excluding legal fees or loss of
income resulting from any free rental period (it being agreed that Seller shall
bear the loss resulting from any free rental period until the date of Close of
Escrow and that Buyer shall bear such loss from and after the Close of
Escrow).  If, as of the date of Close of Escrow, Seller shall not have
paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Seller is
responsible to have paid prior to the date of Close of Escrow in accordance with
the provisions of this Section 11(a)(viii), Buyer shall be credited with an
amount equal to such Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions and Buyer
shall assume the obligation to pay the same.  Buyer shall be
responsible for the payment of any Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing
commissions with respect to any New Lease.

         

        (ix) If any
item of income or expense set forth in this Section 11(a) is subject to
final adjustment after Close of Escrow, then Seller and Buyer shall make, and
each shall be entitled to, an appropriate reproration to each such item promptly
when accurate information becomes available.  Any amounts due from one
party to the other as a result of such reproration shall be paid promptly in
cash to the party entitled thereto.  Seller and Buyer hereby covenant
and agree to make available to each other for review such records as are
necessary to complete such reprorations.  The foregoing provisions of
this Section 11(a) shall survive Close of Escrow.

         

        (b) Tenant
Reimbursements/CAM.  Tenants under the Leases are currently
paying Seller certain amounts (referred to herein as “Tenant Reimbursements”) based
on Seller’s estimates for real estate taxes and assessments, common area
maintenance, operating expenses and similar expenses (collectively, “Tenant Reimbursable
Expenses”).

         

        (i) 1)(a) For
the Calendar Year of the Close of Escrow.  At Close of Escrow, Tenant
Reimbursements payable by tenants under the Leases for the calendar month in
which the Close of Escrow occurs shall be prorated on the basis of the number of
days of such month the Property will have been owned by Buyer and Seller,
respectively.  However, there shall be no proration of any such Tenant
Reimbursements which are delinquent as of Close of Escrow.  Rather,
Buyer shall cause its property manager to cause any such delinquent Tenant
Reimbursements for the period prior to Close of Escrow to be remitted to Seller
if, as, and when collected.  Additionally, there shall be no proration
of any Tenant Reimbursements that a tenant under a Lease delivers to either
Buyer or Seller that such tenant has identified, at the time of such delivery,
as constituting payment of a Tenant Reimbursement due for a month or other
period of time prior to Close of Escrow.  If Buyer receives any such
Tenant Reimbursements, Buyer shall cause such Tenant Reimbursements to be
remitted to Seller if, as, and when collected.  At Close of Escrow,
Seller shall deliver to Buyer a schedule of all such delinquent Tenant
Reimbursements.  Buyer shall cause its property manager to include the
amount of delinquent Tenant Reimbursements in the first bills thereafter
submitted to the tenants in question after Close of Escrow, and shall continue
to do so for two (2) months thereafter.  Upon request by Seller,
Buyer shall cause its property manager to promptly deliver to Seller a copy of
each such bill submitted to tenants.  After such two (2) month
period, Seller may pursue remedies directly against delinquent tenants, but may
not sue to evict or otherwise dispossess such tenants.

         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            11

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

         

        (b) At least
three (3) business days prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall cause to
be prepared and delivered to Buyer a reconciliation (“Tenant Reimbursement
Reconciliation”) of (i) actual operating and similar expense of the
Property upon which Tenant Reimbursements are based (“Actual Expenses”) for the
period commencing on January 1, 2008 and ending on 11:59 p.m. on the
day preceding the Close of Escrow (the “Reconciliation Period”), it
being understood that certain Tenant Reimbursable Expenses for the
Reconciliation Period, if not based on actual amounts (such as certain operating
expenses for the month in which the Close of Escrow occurs), may be reasonably
estimated by Seller; and (ii) Tenant Reimbursable Expenses actually
collected by Seller for the Reconciliation Period.  Any amount shown
to be owed by Seller to the tenants of the Property under the Tenant
Reimbursement Reconciliation shall be credited to Buyer at the Close of Escrow
(and shall be refunded by Buyer to the tenants as required under the Leases),
and any amounts shown to be owed to Seller by tenants of the Property under the
Tenant Reimbursement Reconciliation shall be credited to Seller (provided that there shall be
no proration of uncollected amounts with respect to any tenant who is more than
thirty (30) days delinquent in its payment of rent as of the Close of
Escrow).  Buyer shall be responsible for performing the final
reconciliation of Tenant Reimbursements for calendar year 2008 in accordance
with the Leases, and for payment of all amounts owing to tenants under the
Leases in connection therewith (subject to the reproration provision set forth
herein and the time limits set forth therein).  Seller shall be
responsible for any and all audits of any Tenant Reimbursements for all years
prior to the year in which the Close of Escrow occurs.

         

        (ii) For Prior Calendar
Years.  Seller shall be responsible for the reconciliation with
tenants of Tenant Reimbursements and Tenant Reimbursable Expenses for any
calendar year prior to that in which the Close of Escrow occurs.  If
the amount of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Seller for such prior years is
less than the amount of Tenant Reimbursable Expenses paid by Seller for such
period (or less than the amount which Seller is entitled to recover under the
terms of the Leases), then Seller shall be entitled to bill such tenants
directly and retain any such amounts due from tenants.  If the amount
of Tenant Reimbursements collected by Seller for such prior calendar year
exceeds the amount of Tenant Reimbursable Expenses paid by Seller with respect
to such period (or the amount which Seller is entitled to recover under the
terms of the Leases), then, to the extent required under the terms of the
Leases, Seller shall remit such excess amounts to the applicable
tenants.  In connection with the foregoing, Seller shall be permitted
to make and retain copies of all Leases and all billings concerning Tenant
Reimbursements for such prior years, and Buyer covenants and agrees to provide
Seller with reasonable access to the books and records pertaining to such Tenant
Reimbursements, and to otherwise cooperate with Seller (at no cost to Buyer) for
the purpose of enabling Seller to adequately respond to any claim by tenants for
reimbursement of Tenant Reimbursements previously paid by such
tenants.  The provisions of this Section 11(b)(ii) shall survive
Close of Escrow.

         

        (c) Reservation of Rights to
Contest.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, Seller reserves the right to (i) contest any taxes,
assessments, or reassessments of the Property (or any portion thereof) that
relate to any period of time prior to, through, and including the Close of
Escrow; (ii) attempt to obtain a refund for any taxes or assessments
previously paid by Seller; and (iii) meet with governmental officials in
connection with (i) or (ii) immediately above.  The provisions of this
Section 11(c) shall survive Close of Escrow.  Any amounts
refunded for the year in which Close of Escrow occurs shall be prorated between
Seller and Buyer pursuant to Section 11(a)(i), after deduction of the costs
of such contest.

         

        (d) Reproration.  Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, all reprorations contemplated by this
Agreement shall be completed within one (1) year of Close of
Escrow.  The provisions of this Section 11(d) shall survive Close
of Escrow.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

         

        In
consideration of Buyer entering into this Agreement, Seller makes
representations and warranties set forth in this Section, which are material and
are being relied upon by Buyer (the continued truth and accuracy of which shall
constitute a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligations
hereunder).  To the extent that Seller becomes aware of any conflict
with the representations and warranties set forth herein or that any covenant of
Seller under this Agreement is incapable of being performed after the Effective
Date and prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall provide Buyer with written
notice thereof, in which case Buyer, within five (5) calendar days
following receipt of such notice, shall have the right to either
(i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the provisions of
Sections 6(c) shall apply, or (ii) proceed with the transaction
described herein, waiving such inconsistent representation(s) and warranty(ies)
(provided, however, that Buyer shall not
be deemed to have waived any such inconsistent representation(s) and
warranty(ies) with respect to those that Seller is incapable of performing due
to Seller’s breach of this Agreement or intentional frustration thereof). In no event shall Seller
be liable to Buyer for, or be deemed to be in default pursuant to this Agreement
by reason of any inaccuracy of a representation or warranty which results from
any change that (i) occurs between the Effective Date and the Close of
Escrow; and (ii) is expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement
or is beyond the reasonable control of Seller to prevent; provided, however, in such event, Buyer
shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of
such termination to Buyer and, in such event, Seller shall immediately return
the Second Deposit, plus all interest earned thereon, to Buyer and the parties
shall have no further obligations to each other hereunder, except to the extent
expressly provided herein.  If, in spite of such nonfulfillment of the
conditions set forth in Section 6(a), the Close of Escrow occurs, Seller’s
representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to
have been modified by all statements made in any notice or notices of
modification as given by Seller to Buyer pursuant to this Section 14 prior
to the Close of Escrow (provided, however, that any of Seller’s
representations and warranties shall not be deemed to have been modified nor
shall Buyer be deemed to have waived any such representations and warranties
with respect to those affected by Seller’s breach of this Agreement or Seller’s
intentional frustration thereof).

        (a) Modification of Existing
Leases and Contracts.  Prior to the expiration of the
Contingency Period, Seller may cancel, amend and modify any of the Leases and
any of the Contracts, provided notice is given to
Buyer within five (5) business days after such action and in any event at
least two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Contingency
Period.  After the expiration of the Contingency Period, Seller may
not cancel, amend, or modify any Leases, in a manner binding upon Buyer after
the Close of Escrow, unless otherwise approved by Buyer in writing in Buyer’s
sole discretion or unless required by the terms of any such
Lease.  After the expiration of the Contingency Period, Seller may not
cancel, amend, or modify any Contract, in a manner, unless if doing so is in the
ordinary course of operating the Property and the contract either (i) will
not be binding on Buyer or (ii) is cancelable on thirty (30) days or
less notice without penalty or premium.  If Seller shall request
Buyer’s approval to any of the foregoing matters, Buyer shall have five (5)
business days from its receipt of such request to give Seller notice of its
approval or disapproval of such matter.  If Buyer does not give such
notice, such matter shall be deemed disapproved by Buyer.

         

        (b) New Leases and
Contracts.  Prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period,
Seller may enter into any new lease or any new contract, provided notice is given to
Buyer within five (5) business days after such action and in any event at
least two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Investigation
Period.  After the expiration of the Contingency Period, Seller may
not enter into any new lease or contract without Buyer’s consent, which consent
shall be in Buyer’s sole discretion.  After the expiration of the
Contingency Period, Seller may not enter into any new contract, unless doing so
is in the ordinary course of operating the Property and the contract either
(i) will not be binding on Buyer or (ii) is cancelable on
thirty (30) days or less notice without penalty or premium.  If
Seller shall request Buyer’s approval to any of the foregoing matters, Buyer
shall have five (5) days from its receipt of such request to give Seller
notice of its approval or disapproval of such matter.  If Buyer does
not give such notice, such matter shall be deemed disapproved by
Buyer.

        (c) So long
as this Agreement remains in effect, Seller shall ensure that the Property is
operated and maintained in a manner consistent with past practices and maintain
reasonable and customary levels and coverages of insurance and Seller shall not
create or consent to the creation of liens or exceptions to title other than the
Approved Conditions of Title or take any action that would render any of the
representations or warranties of Seller set forth in Section 14 incorrect
as of the Close of Escrow.

         

        (d) Seller
shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any material change in the status of
the use, occupancy, or condition of the Property.

         

        (e) Seller

has not agreed in writing to accept to the extent that such contracts are
terminable.

         

        17. DEFAULT

         

        (a) Liquidated
Damage.  BUYER RECOGNIZES THAT THE PROPERTY WILL BE REMOVED BY
THE SELLER FROM THE MARKET DURING THE EXISTENCE OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT IF
THIS AGREEMENT IS NOT CONSUMMATED SOLELY BECAUSE OF BUYER’S DEFAULT IN ITS
OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND
IMPRACTICAL TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF THE DETRIMENT TO SELLER.  THE
PARTIES HAVE DETERMINED AND AGREED THAT THE ACTUAL AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT WOULD
BE SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF ANY SUCH DEFAULT IS DIFFICULT OR
IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE DEPOSIT
IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE AMOUNT OF SUCH DAMAGES.  FOR THESE
REASONS, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IF THIS PURCHASE AND SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED
BECAUSE OF BUYER’S DEFAULT IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, SELLER,
AS ITS SOLE REMEDY, SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES (INCLUDING ALL INTEREST EARNED FROM THE INVESTMENT
THEREOF).  IN ADDITION, BUYER SHALL PAY ALL TITLE, SURVEY AND ESCROW
CANCELLATION CHARGES.  SELLER WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO SEEK SPECIFIC
PERFORMANCE AGAINST BUYER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389,
OR OTHERWISE, OR TO SEEK ANY OTHER REMEDY AT LAW OR IN
EQUITY.  NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL IN ANY MANNER LIMIT THE AMOUNT
OF DAMAGES OBTAINABLE BY SELLER PURSUANT TO AN ACTION UNDER ANY HOLD HARMLESS,
DEFENSE OR INDEMNIFICATION PROVISION HEREOF.

        (b) Default by
Seller.  In the event the sale of the Property as contemplated
hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, Buyer shall be
entitled, as its sole remedy, either (a) to receive the return of the
Deposit plus all interest earned thereon, or (b) to enforce specific
performance of Seller’s obligation to convey the Property to Buyer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement, it being understood and agreed that the remedy
of specific performance shall not be available to enforce any other obligation
of Seller hereunder.  In the event the sale of the Property as
contemplated hereunder is not consummated due to Seller’s default hereunder, and
Buyer elects clause (a) above as its remedy, subject to a cap of $150,000,
Seller shall reimburse Buyer within ten (10) days of the cancellation of
this Agreement all of Buyer’s reasonable and actual out of pocket costs and
expenses incurred by

          Buyer in
connection with this Agreement, including title, survey and escrow cancellation
charges (“Costs”).  Buyer
expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Seller’s default
hereunder except as expressly provided herein.  Buyer shall be deemed
to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the Deposit (plus
interest, and be reimburse its Costs) if Buyer fails to file suit for specific
performance against Seller in a court having jurisdiction in the county and
state in which the Real Property is located, on or before ninety (90) days
following the date upon which Close of Escrow was to have
occurred.  Buyer waives any right to pursue any other remedy at law or
equity for such default of Seller, including, without limitation, any right to
seek, claim or obtain damages (other than for the
Costs), punitive damages
or consequential damages.  In no case shall Seller ever be liable to
Buyer under any statutory, common law, equitable or other theory of law, either
prior to or following the Closing, for any lost rents, profits, “benefit of the
bargain,” business opportunities or any form of consequential damage in
connection with any claim, liability, demand or cause of action in any way or
manner relating to the Property, the condition of the Property, this Agreement,
or any transaction or matter between the parties contemplated
hereunder.

        

         

        18. CONDEMNATION
AND DESTRUCTION

         

        (a) Eminent Domain or
Taking.  If, prior to the Close of Escrow, any material portion
of the Real Property or Improvements is taken by eminent domain or otherwise,
Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such fact.  If such taking is
“material,” Buyer shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to terminate
this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later than ten (10)
days after receipt of Seller’s notice.  If this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to this Section, the provisions of Section 6(c) shall
govern.  If Buyer does not exercise this option to terminate this
Agreement, or if there has not been a material taking by eminent domain or
otherwise to give rise to such option, neither party shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement, but the Seller shall assign and turn over, and the
Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards for the taking by
eminent domain which accrue to Seller and the parties shall proceed to the Close
of Escrow pursuant to the terms hereof, without modification of the terms of
this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase Price.  For
the purpose hereof, “material” shall be deemed to
be any diminution in the value of the Property as a result of a taking by
eminent domain or otherwise which exceeds two million and 0/100ths Dollars
($2,000,000.00).

         

        (b) Fire or
Casualty.  Prior to the Close of Escrow, the entire risk of
loss or damage by earthquake, flood, landslide, fire or other casualty shall be
borne and assumed by Seller, except as otherwise provided in this
Section.  If, prior to the Close of Escrow, any part of the
Improvements are damaged or destroyed by earthquake, flood, landslide, fire or
other casualty, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such
fact.  If such damage or destruction is “material”, Buyer shall have
the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller given
not later than ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s
notice.  For purposes hereof, “material” shall be deemed to be any
damage or destruction where the cost of repair or replacement is estimated to be
two million and 0/100ths Dollars ($2,000,000.00) or more by Seller’s
consultant.  If this Agreement is so terminated, the provisions of
Section 6(c) shall govern.  If Buyer does not exercise this
option to terminate this Agreement, or if the casualty is not material, neither
party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement but Seller shall assign
and turn over, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep, all insurance
proceeds payable to it with respect to such destruction, and the parties shall
proceed to the Close of Escrow pursuant to the terms hereof without modification
of the terms of this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase
Price.

        20. NONDISCLOSURE

         

        Prior to
the Close of Escrow, Buyer and Seller shall keep confidential the existence of
and the provisions of this Agreement in accordance with that certain
Confidentiality Agreement dated December 21, 2007 by and between Seller and
Buyer; provided, however, that Buyer may make filings and disclosure of this
Agreement to the extent required by applicable laws.

         

        21. BROKERS

         

        Seller
represents to Buyer that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in
connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement except for Sherman Chan
and Mike Benevento of CB Richard Ellis, Inc., and George Reilly of CPS Corfac
International (collectively, “Brokers”).  Buyer
represents to Seller that it has not dealt with any broker or finder in
connection with the sale contemplated by this Agreement other than
Brokers.  Seller and Buyer shall each indemnify and hold the other
harmless from and against any and all claims of all brokers and finders other
than Brokers claiming by, through or under the indemnifying party and in any way
related to the sale and purchase of the Property, this Agreement, or otherwise,
including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the
indemnified party in connection with such claim.  The provisions of
this paragraph shall survive Closing or any termination of this
Agreement.

         

        22. EXCHANGE

         

        The
parties to this Agreement acknowledge that either party may desire to structure
the sale and/or the purchase of the Property as an exchange for like-kind
property pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, in order to defer recognition of income from the disposition of the
Property and other properties.  The parties agree to reasonably
cooperate with each other to accomplish such exchange(s) and each party hereby
agrees that any and all costs associated with said exchange shall be borne
solely by the exchanging party and shall in no way be attributable to the
non-exchanging party.  In no event shall (i) such cooperation
entail any additional expense or cause any liability whatsoever to the
non-exchanging party, (ii) the non-exchanging party be required to take
title to the exchanged property(ies) to effectuate the tax deferred exchange
contemplated by this Section, (iii) the Close of Escrow be extended as a
result of such exchange, and (iv) the exchanging party shall indemnify and
hold the other party harmless for, from an against any claim, demand, cause of
action, liability or expenses including
attorneys’ fees) in connection with such exchange including, without limitation,
any increase in escrow fees or charges resulting from such
exchange.  An assignment to an exchange facilitator pursuant to this
Section shall not relieve the assigning party from any of its obligations
hereunder nor shall the ability to consummate a 1031 exchange be a
condition to the Close of Escrow.

        23. MISCELLANEOUS

         

        (a) Partial
Invalidity.  If any term or provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be
invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of
such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which
it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each
such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid, and shall be enforced
to the fullest extent permitted by law.

         

        (b) Waivers.  No
waiver of any breach of any covenant or provision herein contained shall be
deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other
covenant or provision herein contained.  No extension of time for
performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of time for
performance of any other obligation or act except those of the waiving party,
which shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of the
delay.

         

        (c) Survival of
Representations.  The indemnification, defense and hold
harmless obligations, and the representations and warranties made by each party
herein (subject to Section 14(q)) shall survive (i) the Close of
Escrow and shall not merge into the Grant Deed and the recordation thereof, and
(ii) the termination and/or cancellation of this Agreement.

         

        (d) Successors and
Assigns.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure
to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto;
provided, however, that Buyer shall not
assign Buyer’s rights or obligations pursuant to this Agreement to any party
without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in
its sole and absolute discretion.

         

        (e) Professional
Fees.  If either party commences an action against the other to
interpret or enforce any of the terms of this Agreement or because of the breach
by the other party of any of the terms hereof, the losing party shall pay to the
prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses and court costs
and other costs of action incurred in connection with the prosecution or defense
of such action, whether or not the action is prosecuted to a final
judgment.

         

        (f) Entire
Agreement.  This Agreement (including all Exhibits attached
hereto) and all documents referred to in Sections 7 and 8 executed by the
parties in connection with the Close of Escrow are the final expression of, and
contain the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings with respect
thereto.  This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented,
superseded, canceled or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived,
except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent
duly authorized in writing or as otherwise expressly permitted
herein.  The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on
any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and lawful
assignees.

         

        (g) Time of
Essence.  Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that
time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition,
obligation and provision hereof and that failure to timely perform any of the
terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall
constitute a material breach of and a non-curable (but waivable) default under
this Agreement by the party so failing to perform.

        (h) Relationship of
Parties.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed
or construed by the parties to create the relationship of principal and agent, a
partnership, joint venture or any other association between Buyer and
Seller.

convenience of the parties and are not a part of the
Agreement.  Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the

been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared
the same.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references to paragraphs,

Property immediately following the Close of Escrow.

         

        (l) Counterparts.  This

deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the
same instrument.

Week.  If any date for performance herein falls on a Saturday,
Sunday or holiday, as defined in Section 6700 of the California Government

        (n) Representation by
Counsel.  Notwithstanding any rule or maxim of construction to
the contrary, any ambiguity or uncertainty shall not be construed against either
Seller or Buyer based upon authorship of any of the provisions
hereof.  Seller and Buyer each hereby warrant, represent and certify

        (o) Facsimile
Signatures.  In order to expedite the transaction contemplated
herein, facsimile and emailed signatures may be used in place of original
signatures on this Agreement.  Seller and Buyer intend to be bound by
the signatures on the electronically transmitted document, are aware that the
other party will rely on the such signatures, and hereby waive any defenses to

        (q) AS-IS SALE.  EXCEPT
AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IT IS UNDERSTOOD AND AGREED THAT
SELLER IS NOT MAKING AND HAS NOT AT ANY TIME MADE ANY WARRANTIES OR
REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO
THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS
AS TO HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.

         

        BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT UPON CLOSE OF ESCROW SELLER SHALL SELL AND CONVEY
TO BUYER AND BUYER SHALL ACCEPT THE PROPERTY “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS”,
EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT EXPRESSLY PROVIDED OTHERWISE IN THIS
AGREEMENT.  BUYER HAS NOT RELIED AND WILL NOT RELY ON, AND SELLER IS
NOT LIABLE FOR OR BOUND BY, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, GUARANTIES,
STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY OR
RELATING THERETO (INCLUDING SPECIFICALLY, WITHOUT LIMITATION, OFFERING PACKAGES
DISTRIBUTED WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY) MADE OR FURNISHED BY SELLER, OR ANY
EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS REPRESENTING OR PURPORTING TO REPRESENT SELLER, TO WHOMEVER

SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PURCHASE PRICE
REFLECTS AND TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THAT THE PROPERTY IS BEING SOLD
“AS-IS.”

         

        BUYER
REPRESENTS TO SELLER THAT BUYER HAS CONDUCTED, OR WILL CONDUCT  PRIOR
TO CLOSE OF ESCROW, SUCH INVESTIGATIONS OF THE  PROPERTY, INCLUDING
BUT NOT  LIMITED TO, THE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
THEREOF, AS BUYER DEEMS NECESSARY OR DESIRABLE TO SATISFY ITSELF AS TO THE
CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY AND THE EXISTENCE OR NONEXISTENCE OR CURATIVE ACTION
TO BE TAKEN WITH RESPECT TO ANY HAZARDOUS OR TOXIC SUBSTANCES ON OR DISCHARGED
FROM THE PROPERTY, AND WILL RELY SOLELY UPON SAME AND NOT UPON ANY INFORMATION
PROVIDED BY OR ON BEHALF OF SELLER OR ITS AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES WITH RESPECT
THERETO, OTHER THAN SUCH REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER AS
ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT.  UPON CLOSE OF ESCROW,
BUYER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS AND ADVERSE PHYSICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS, MAY NOT
HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY BUYER’S INVESTIGATIONS, AND BUYER, UPON CLOSE OF ESCROW
(EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE EXPRESS REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER SET
FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY FRAUD ON THE PART OF SELLER), SHALL BE DEEMED TO
HAVE WAIVED, RELINQUISHED AND RELEASED SELLER (AND SELLERS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS,
SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS,
DEMANDS, CAUSES OF ACTION (INCLUDING CAUSES OF ACTION IN TORT), LOSSES,
DAMAGES,  LIABILITIES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE
ATTORNEYS’ FEES) OF ANY AND EVERY KIND OR CHARACTER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WHICH
BUYER MIGHT HAVE ASSERTED OR ALLEGED AGAINST  SELLER
(AND  SELLER’S  OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES
AND AGENTS) AT ANY TIME BY REASON OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY LATENT OR PATENT
CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS OR PHYSICAL CONDITIONS, VIOLATIONS OF ANY APPLICABLE LAWS
AND ANY AND ALL OTHER ACTS, OMISSIONS, EVENTS, CIRCUMSTANCES OR MATTERS
REGARDING THE PROPERTY.  IN ADDITION, BUYER WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND
RELEASES ANY CLAIMS IT MAY HAVE AGAINST SELLER, BLACKROCK GRANITE PROPERTY FUND,
L.P., AND ITS DIRECT AND INDIRECT OWNERS, WITH RESPECT TO ANY STATEMENTS MADE BY
HARVEST PROPERTIES, INC., OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR REPRESENTATIVES, INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO JOHN WINTHER AND AWAIS MUGHAL, REGARDING THE EXISTENCE,
STATUS, POTENTIAL FOR OR NATURE OF ANY ENTITLEMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY
AND ANY REDEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION
WILL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.  BUYER HEREBY WAIVES
THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1542 WHICH PROVIDES
THAT:

        “A
GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR
SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH
IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH
THE DEBTOR.”

        (r) Limitation on
Liability.  In any action brought to enforce the obligations of
Seller under this Agreement or any other document delivered in connection
herewith, the judgment or decree shall be subject to the provisions of this
Section 23(r).  In all events, the liability of Seller under this
Agreement in the aggregate shall be enforceable against Seller only up to the
Maximum Liability Cap.  In connection with this Agreement, BlackRock
Realty Advisors, Inc. (“Advisor”) is acting as the
investment adviser to Seller, and Advisor shall not have any individual
liability hereunder.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer shall
have no recourse against any property or assets of BlackRock Granite Property
Fund, L.P. or Harvest Properties, Inc., any assets of the Advisor,
or to any of the past, present or future, direct or indirect, shareholders,
partners, members, managers, principals, directors, officers, agents,
incorporators, affiliates or representatives of Seller, BlackRock Granite
Property Fund, L.P., Harvest Properties, Inc., or the Advisor (collectively,
“Seller Parties”) for
the payment or collection of any amount, judgment, judicial process, arbitral
award, fee or cost or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based
upon this Agreement and requiring the payment of money by Seller, except that
Buyer shall have a claim against the Property (and the proceeds from the sale
thereof), but only up to the Maximum Liability Cap.   The Seller
Parties, shall not be subject to levy, lien, execution, attachment or other
enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of any of Buyer’s rights or remedies
under or with respect to this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise, provided the foregoing shall
not limit the rights of Buyer to pursue claims against the Property (and the
proceeds from the sale thereof), but only up to the Maximum Liability
Cap.  Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed
to be an acknowledgment or agreement by Seller, or any other Seller Party that
they do not have and maintain, respectively, separate existences, identities and
integrity from the others, or that their separate existences, identities and
integrity are impaired or should be disregarded in any manner whatsoever or that
BlackRock Granite Property Fund, L.P., Harvest Properties, Inc., or Advisor are
parties to this Agreement.  The provisions of this Section are
intended and shall be construed to be a limitation on liability only and shall
not be deemed or be construed to create any liability or obligation of Seller or
any of the Seller Parties.  The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
