         WHEREAS, Executive currently is an employee of the Company and an
Officer (as hereinafter defined), and has made and is expected to continue to
make significant contributions to the business, growth and financial strength of
the Company;

         WHEREAS, the Company recognizes that the uncertainty regarding the
consequences of a termination in Executive's employment as an Officer of the
Company adversely affects the Company's ability to retain Executive;

         WHEREAS, the Company further recognizes that, as is the case for most
publicly held companies, the possibility of a Change in Control (as hereinafter
defined) exists, which may alter the nature and structure of the Company, and
recognizes that the uncertainty regarding the consequences of such an event
adversely affects the Company's ability to retain Executive as an Officer;

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to more closely align Executive's
interests with those of the shareholders of the Company with respect to any
Change in Control that may benefit the shareholders;

         WHEREAS, the Company desires to assure itself of both present and
future continuity of management in the event of a Change in Control, and desires
to induce Executive to remain employed with the Company by establishing certain
benefits for Executive applicable under certain circumstances in the event of a
Change in Control, and Executive desires to be so induced; and

         WHEREAS, the parties desire to set forth in writing the terms and
conditions of their agreement with respect to the provision of benefits for
Executive applicable under certain circumstances in the event of a Change in
Control;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual
covenants and obligations herein contained, it is agreed among the parties
hereto as follows:

         1.       Term. This Agreement shall continue for a term commencing on
the Execution Date and ending on the date two years thereafter ("Initial Term"),
and shall be automatically renewed from year to year thereafter for successive
one-year terms (each a "Renewal Term") unless ninety (90) days prior to the
expiration of the initial term or any renewal term, a party gives written notice
of non-renewal to the

                                     1 of 8

<PAGE>
other party; provided that any such notice provided by the Company any time
during the period beginning on the date that is forty-five (45) days prior to
the date upon which a definitive agreement for a Change in Control is publicly
announced as having been executed by the Company (the "Announcement Date") and
ending on the first anniversary of the effective date of a Change in Control,
shall have no effect whatsoever, and the Agreement shall continue in force until
such time as otherwise terminated in accordance with the terms hereof. If an
effective notice of non-renewal is given as permitted hereunder, this Agreement
will expire at the conclusion of either the initial term or the renewal term,
whichever is applicable, unless terminated earlier in accordance with Section 2
hereof. The "Term" of this Agreement shall include the Initial Term, as well as
any Renewal Term, if applicable, subject to termination at any time prior to the
expiration of the Term as provided in Section 2 hereof; provided, however, that
in the event of the first Change in Control to occur during the Term (including
after any notice of non-renewal is given), the Term shall automatically continue
through the first anniversary of the effective date of such Change in Control.

         2.       At-Will Status. Notwithstanding any provision of this
Agreement, Executive will remain employed at-will, so that Executive or the
Company may terminate Executive's employment at any time, with or without
notice, for any or no reason, and this Agreement shall not create or imply any
right or duty of Executive or the Company to have Executive remain in the employ
thereof for any period of time. This Agreement shall automatically terminate on
the earliest date of (a) Executive's Termination Date (as hereinafter defined)
if Executive's employment ceases for any reason other than due to an Involuntary
Termination Upon a Change in Control or a Resignation for Good Reason Upon a
Change in Control (as such terms are hereinafter defined); or (b) the date
immediately following the one-year anniversary of the effective date of the
first Change in Control to occur during the Term; provided, that,
notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, if Executive's
employment is terminated by the Company prior to a Change in Control for any
reason other than for Cause, or ceases due to an Involuntary Termination Upon a
Change in Control or a Resignation for Good Reason Upon a Change in Control,
this Agreement shall remain in effect until all obligations of the parties
hereunder have been fully satisfied.

         3.       Definitions. As used in this Agreement, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth herein:

                  a.       "Cause" shall mean any one or more of the following:
(i) Executive's willful failure or refusal (except due to Disability (as
hereinafter defined) or a condition reasonably likely to be deemed a Disability
with the passage of time) to perform substantially his/her duties on behalf of
the Company for a period of thirty (30) days after receiving written notice
identifying in reasonable detail the nature of such failure or refusal; (ii)
Executive's conviction of, entry of a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, or
admission of guilt in connection with a felony; (iii) disloyalty, willful
misconduct or breach of fiduciary duty by Executive which causes material harm
to the Company; or (iv) Executive's willful violation of any confidentiality,
developments or non-competition agreement which causes material harm to the
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive shall not be deemed to have
been terminated for Cause unless and until there shall have been delivered to
him a copy of a resolution duly adopted by the Company's Board of Directors (the
"Board") (excluding Executive if he is a Director) at a meeting of the Board
called and held for (but not necessarily exclusively for) that purpose (after
reasonable notice to Executive and an opportunity for Executive, together with
counsel of his choice, to be heard by the Board) finding that Executive has, in
the good faith opinion of the Board, engaged in conduct constituting Cause and
specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail.

                  b.       "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any
of the following events:

                           (i)      The Company is merged or consolidated or
reorganized into or with another corporation or other legal person, and as a
result of such merger, consolidation or reorganization less than fifty percent
(50%) of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such
surviving, resulting or reorganized corporation or person immediately after such
transaction is held in the

                                     2 of 8

<PAGE>

aggregate by the holders of the then-outstanding securities entitled to vote
generally in the election of directors of the Company ("Voting Stock")
immediately prior to such transaction;

                           (ii)     The Company sells or otherwise transfers all
or substantially all of its assets to any other corporation or other legal
person, and as a result of such sale or transfer less than fifty percent (50%)
of the combined voting power of the then-outstanding securities of such
corporation or person immediately after such sale or transfer is held in the
aggregate by the holders of Voting Stock of the Company immediately prior to
such sale or transfer;

                           (iii)    Any corporation or other legal person,
pursuant to a tender offer, exchange offer, purchase of stock (whether in a
market transaction or otherwise) or other transaction or event acquires
securities representing 30% or more of the Voting Stock of the Company, or there
is a report filed on Schedule 13D or Schedule 14D-1 (or any successor schedule,
form or report), each as promulgated pursuant to the U.S. Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), disclosing that any "person" (as
such term is used in Section 13(d)(3) or Section 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act)
has become the "beneficial owner" (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 under the
Exchange Act) of securities representing 30% or more of the Voting Stock of the
Company;

                           (iv)     The Company files a report or proxy
statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Exchange
Act disclosing under or in response to Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any
successor schedule, form or report or item therein) that a change in control of
the Company has occurred; or

                           (v)      If during any period of two consecutive
years, individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Board
cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the
election, or the nomination for election by the Company's stockholders, of each
director of the Company first elected during such period was approved by a vote
of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who were directors
of the Company at the beginning of any such period;

provided, however, that a "Change in Control" shall not be deemed to have
occurred for purposes of this Agreement solely because (i) the Company, (ii) an
entity in which the Company directly or indirectly beneficially owns 50% or more
of the Voting Stock, or (iii) any Company-sponsored employee stock ownership
plan or any other employee benefit plan of the Company, either files or becomes
obligated to file a report or a proxy statement under or in response to Schedule
13D, Schedule 14D-1, Form 8-K or Schedule 14A (or any successor schedule, form
or report) under the Exchange Act, disclosing beneficial ownership by it of
shares of Voting Stock or because the Company reports that a change in control
of the Company has occurred by reason of such beneficial ownership.

                  c.       "Company" shall mean Phase Forward Incorporated, its
assigns, and its Successors.

                  d.       "Disability" shall mean any physical or mental
disability that renders Executive unable to perform his/her essential job
responsibilities for a cumulative period of 180 days in any twelve-month period,
where such disability cannot be reasonably accommodated absent undue hardship.

                  e.       "Executive Office" shall mean those offices of the
Company domiciled in the United States that the Board in its reasonable
discretion may designate from time to time as constituting an officer position
pursuant to Section 16 of the Exchange Act; provided, that for purposes of this
Agreement, Executive Office shall also be deemed to include, without limitation,
the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Finance,
Vice President of Development, Vice President of North American Sales, Vice
President of Marketing, Vice President - Human Resources, Vice President -
General Counsel and/or such other officers of the Company as the Board shall
designate from time to time. Any person holding an Executive Office shall be an
"Officer."

                                     3 of 8

<PAGE>

                  f.       "Incentive Pay Eligibility" shall mean the aggregate
amount of any cash compensation derived from any bonus, incentive, performance,
profit-sharing or similar agreement, policy, plan or arrangement of the Company
that Executive is eligible to receive based upon the attainment of 100% target
or quota with respect to any one calendar year; provided, however that Incentive
Pay Eligibility shall exclude any commission or bonus that Executive is eligible
to received under the Company's 2004 Global Sales Incentive Compensation Plan or
any successor plan thereto.

                  g.       "Involuntary Termination Upon a Change in Control"
shall mean the termination of the employment of Executive by the Company without
Cause at any time within the period beginning on the date that is forty-five
(45) days prior to the Announcement Date and ending on the first anniversary of
the effective date of a Change in Control. "Involuntary Termination Upon Change
in Control" shall not include any termination of Executive's employment (a) for
Cause; (b) as a result of Executive's Disability; (c) as a result of Executive's
death; or (d) by Executive for any reason.

                  h.       "Resignation for Good Reason Upon a Change in
Control" shall occur upon the receipt by the Company of Executive's notice
specified below, if any of the following "Events" occur without Executive's
prior written consent during the one-year period beginning on the effective date
of a Change in Control:

                           (i)      The substantial reduction of (1) Executive's
aggregate base salary, or (2) Executive's Incentive Pay Eligibility, or (3) the
benefits for which Executive was eligible, in each case, in effect immediately
prior to a Change in Control, unless, however, in the case of Subclause (3)
only, such reduction is due to an across-the-board reduction applicable to all
senior executives of the Company and any Successor, and the benefits available
to Executive after such across-the-board reductions are no less favorable than
those available to similarly-situated executives of the Company and such
Successor;

                           (ii)     The permanent relocation of Executive's
primary workplace to a location more than thirty (30) miles away from
Executive's workplace in effect immediately prior to a Change in Control; or

                           (iii)    Failure of any Successor to, or assignee of,
the Company to assume the duties and obligations of the Company under this
Agreement pursuant to Section 14 hereof; and

Within sixty (60) days after any such Event, Executive provides written notice
to the Company describing with reasonable specificity the Event and stating
his/her intention to resign from employment due to such Event.

                  j.       "Severance Benefits" shall mean:

                           (i)      payment of an amount equal to 50% (i.e., 6
months) of the Executive's base salary, at the highest annualized rate in effect
during the one year period immediately prior to the Termination Date payable, at
Executive's election, either (x) in a lump sum payment on the Vesting Date or on
any other date designated by Executive; or (y) in equal monthly installments
over the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date; and

                                     4 of 8

<PAGE>
                           (ii)     In the event Executive elects after the
Termination Date to continue health, vision and/or dental coverage pursuant to
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), the
Company will pay, on a monthly basis, Executive's monthly premium payments for
each such coverage elected by Executive for Executive and his or her eligible
dependents, if applicable, until the earliest of the following dates to occur
with respect to each such elected coverage: (A) the six month anniversary of the
Termination Date; (B) the date upon which Executive becomes covered under a
comparable group plan for such applicable coverage; or (C) the date upon which
Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation for such applicable
coverage.

                  k.       "Stock Plans" shall mean the Phase Forward
Incorporated Amended and Restated 1997 Stock Option Plan, the Phase Forward
Incorporated 2004 Stock Option and Incentive Plan and any other stock plans or
stock option plans established and maintained by the Company at any time during
the Term and pursuant to which Executive holds any options, stock, awards and/or
purchase rights, each as may be or may have been amended, excluding the 2004
Employee Stock Purchase Plan and any other plan adopted by the Company pursuant
to Section 423 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

                  l.       "Successor" shall mean any successor to the Company
(whether direct or indirect, by Change in Control, operation of law or
otherwise), including but not limited to any successor (whether direct or
indirect, by Change in Control, operation of law or otherwise) to, or ultimate
parent entity of any successor to, the Company.

                  m.       "Termination Date" shall mean Executive's last date
of employment with the Company.

         4.       Effect of a Termination without Cause. If Executive's
employment is terminated at any time prior to a Change in Control for any reason
that does not constitute Cause, Executive shall be entitled to receive the
following, subject to Section 8 hereof; provided, however that if such
termination constitutes an Involuntary Termination Upon a Change in Control or a
Resignation for Good Reason Upon a Change in Control, Executive shall instead be
entitled to the Change in Control Benefits described in Section 5.a of this
Agreement.

                  (a)      the Severance Benefits; provided, however that if
such termination constitutes an Involuntary Termination Upon a Change in
Control or a Resignation for Good Reason Upon a Change in Control, in lieu of
the Severance Benefits, Executive shall be entitled to the Change in Control
Benefits described in Section 5.a of this Agreement.

                  (b)      Executive shall also be entitled to any unpaid
compensation and benefits, and unused vacation accrued, through the Termination
Date. Executive shall also be entitled to receive reimbursement for final
expenses that Executive reasonably and necessarily incurred on behalf of the
Company prior to the Termination Date, provided that Executive submits expense
reports and supporting documentation of such expenses as required by the
practice or policy in effect at that time. Executive shall not be eligible for
or entitled to any severance payments or benefits pursuant to a severance plan,
program, arrangement, practice or policy of the Company, if any, that may be in
effect as of the Termination Date, including without limitation any other
agreement that Executive may have with the Company regarding the subject matter
hereof.

         5.       Effect of Involuntary Termination Upon a Change in Control or
Resignation for Good Reason Upon a Change in Control. In the event of an
Involuntary Termination Upon a Change in Control or a Resignation for Good
Reason Upon a Change in Control during the Term, Executive shall be entitled to
the following:

                  a.       "Change in Control Benefits" as follows, subject to
Section 8 hereof:

                           (i)      Payment of an amount equal to 100% (i.e., 12
months) of the Executive's base salary, at the highest annualized rate in effect
during the period between the date immediately prior to the effective date of a
Change in Control and the Termination Date, payable in accordance with Section
5.a(v) below;

                           (ii)     Payment of an amount equal to 50% of the
highest amount of Executive's Incentive Pay Eligibility with respect to any one
calendar year in the period beginning in the calendar year prior to that in
which the Change in Control occurs and ending in the calendar year in which
Executive's employment is terminated, payable in accordance with Section 5.a(v)
below; and

                           (iii)    In the event Executive elects after the
Termination Date to continue health, vision and/or dental coverage pursuant to
the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 ("COBRA"), the
Company will pay Executive's monthly premium payments for each such coverage
elected by Executive for Executive and his or her eligible dependents, if
applicable, until the earliest of

                                     5 of 8

<PAGE>

the following dates to occur with respect to each such elected coverage: (A) the
first anniversary of the Termination Date; (B) the date upon which Executive
becomes covered under a comparable group plan for such applicable coverage; or
(C) the date upon which Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation
for such applicable coverage.

                           (iv)     Any and all unvested stock, stock options,
awards and rights that were granted to Executive under any of the Stock Plans
prior to the Termination Date shall immediately become fully vested and
exercisable as of the Termination Date or, if Executive's employment was
terminated within the three-month period prior to the Announcement Date, as of
the Announcement Date (whichever may apply, the "Vesting Date"). Notwithstanding
any contrary provision of any agreement relating to then outstanding stock,
stock options, awards and rights granted to Executive under any of the Stock
Plans after the Execution Date, all such stock, stock options, awards and rights
granted after the Execution Date may be exercised by Executive (or Executive's
heirs, estate, legatees, executors, administrators, and legal representatives)
at any time during the period ending on the earlier of (A) the later of (i)
three (3) months after the Vesting Date and (ii) if Executive dies within the
three-month period after the Vesting Date, the first anniversary of the date of
Executive's death, and (B) the scheduled expiration of such stock, stock option,
award or right, as the case may be. Executive hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, as a result of the operation of Section 4 and this subsection 5.a(ii),
some or all of the "incentive stock options" (as defined in the Code) granted to
Executive under the Stock Plans may no longer qualify as "incentive stock
options" for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and Executive hereby consents to
any such disqualification.

                           (v)      Each of the payments set forth in
subsections 5.a(i)-(iii) above (the "Cash Severance Benefits") shall be payable,
at Executive's election, either (x) in a lump sum payment on the Vesting Date or
on any other date designated by Executive; or (y) in equal monthly installments
over the twelve (12) month period following the Vesting Date; provided that the
payments described in Section 5.a(iii) hereof shall be paid on a monthly basis.

                  b.       Executive shall also be entitled to any unpaid
compensation and benefits, and unused vacation accrued, through the Termination
Date. Executive shall also be entitled to receive reimbursement for final
expenses that Executive reasonably and necessarily incurred on behalf of the
Company prior to the Termination Date, provided that Executive submits expense
reports and supporting documentation of such expenses as required by the
practice or policy in effect at that time. Executive shall not be eligible for
or entitled to any severance payments or benefits pursuant to a severance plan,
program, arrangement, practice or policy of any member of the Company, if any,
that may be in effect as of the Termination Date, including without limitation
any other agreement, entered into prior to the date hereof, that Executive may
have with the Company regarding the subject matter hereof.

         6.       Effect of a Change in Control. If a Change in Control occurs
during the Term, then 25% of all stock, options, awards and purchase rights
granted to Executive under the Phase Forward Incorporated 2004 Stock Option and
Incentive Plan prior to such Change in Control shall immediately become fully
vested and exercisable as of the effective date of a Change in Control. The 25%
specified in the previous sentence is in addition to any stock, options, awards
and purchase rights granted to Executive under any plan that were already
vested and exercisable as of the effective date of the Change in Control.

         7.       Liquidated Damages. The parties hereto expressly agree that
provision of the Severance Benefits or Change in Control Benefits to Executive
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement will be liquidated damages, and
that Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payments
provided for in this Agreement by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor
shall any profits, income, earnings or other benefits from any source whatsoever
create any mitigation, offset, reduction or any other obligation on the part of
Executive hereunder or otherwise.

         8.       Conditions of Severance Benefits and Change in Control
Benefits. Executive shall receive Severance Benefits and/or Change in Control
Benefits only if Executive: (a) executes a separation agreement, which includes
a general mutual release, in a form and of a scope reasonably acceptable to the
parties hereto; (b) returns all property, equipment, confidential information
and documentation of the Company; (c) has complied and continues to comply in
all material respects with any noncompetition, inventions and/or nondisclosure
obligations that Executive may owe to the Company, whether pursuant to an
agreement or applicable law; and (d) provides a signed, written resignation of
Executive's status as an officer, including, without limitation, an Executive
Officer, and

                                     6 of 8

<PAGE>

director (if applicable) of the Company and, if applicable, its subsidiaries. In
the event that Executive has breached any obligations described in Section 8(c),
then (x) the Cash Severance Benefits shall terminate and Executive shall no
longer be entitled to them; (y) Executive shall promptly repay to the Company
any Cash Severance Benefits previously received by Executive; and (z) all
options, awards and purchase rights held by Executive shall no longer be
exercisable as of the date of Executive's breach. Such termination and repayment
of Cash Severance Benefits and cessation of the right to exercise shall be in
addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all available legal and equitable
remedies, including injunctive relief.

         9.       Taxes. All payments and benefits described in this Agreement
shall be subject to any and all applicable federal, state, local and foreign
withholding, payroll, income and other taxes.

         10.      Certain Reduction of Payments. If (a)(i) the Severance
Benefits, (ii) the Change in Control Benefits, (iii) the benefits received under
Section 6 hereof and/or (iv) any payment or benefit received or to be received
by Executive pursuant to any other plan, arrangement or agreement (collectively,
the "Total Payments") would constitute (in whole or in part) an "excess
parachute payment" within the meaning of Section 280G(b) of the Code, and (b)
Executive would retain more of the Total Payments (after the payment of
applicable tax liabilities imposed on the Total Payments) in the event that the
Cap (defined below) is imposed, then the amount of the Total Payments shall be
reduced until the aggregate "present value" (as that term is defined in Section
280G(d)(4) of the Code using the applicable federal rate in effect on the date
of this Agreement) of the Total Payments is such that no part of the Total
Payments constitutes an "excess parachute payment" within the meaning of Section
280G(b) of the Code (the "Cap").

         11.       Exclusive Remedy. Except as expressly set forth herein or
otherwise required by law, Executive shall not be entitled to any compensation,
benefits, or other payments as a result of or in connection with the termination
or resignation of Executive's employment at any time, for any reason. The
payments and benefits set forth in Section 4, 5 and 6 hereof shall constitute
liquidated damages and shall be Executive's sole and exclusive remedy for any
claims, causes of action or demands arising under or in connection with this
Agreement or its alleged breach, the termination or resignation of Executive's
employment relationship, or the cessation of holding an Executive Office.

         12.      Governing Law/Forum. The parties agree that any claims arising
out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and this
Agreement shall in all respects be interpreted, enforced and governed under the
internal and domestic laws of such State, without giving effect to the
principles of conflicts of laws thereof. In addition, each of the parties, by
its or his execution hereof, hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive

      4.    Purchaser's Inspection and Review Rights.

            (a)   Commencing on the effective date of this Agreement and subject
      to the rights of the Tenants (as hereinafter defined), upon giving
      reasonable advance notice to Seller's property manager, Purchaser and its
      agents, engineers, or representatives, with Seller's reasonable, good
      faith cooperation, shall have the privilege of going upon the Property as
      needed to inspect, examine, test, and survey the Property at all
      reasonable times and from time to time. Purchaser shall be additionally
      entitled to conduct interviews with the Tenants provided Purchaser has
      provided Seller with twenty-four (24) hours' prior notice thereof and the
      opportunity to attend said meetings. Such privilege

                                       2
<PAGE>

      shall include the right to make borings and other tests to obtain
      information necessary to determine surface and subsurface conditions,
      provided that such activities do not materially interfere with the rights
      of Tenants or the ongoing operation of the Property.

            (b)   Purchaser shall maintain or shall cause to be maintained at
      all times during its entry upon the Property, commercial general liability
      insurance with limits of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars
      ($2,000,000.00) per occurrence combined single limit. Such policy of
      insurance shall name Seller as an additional insured, and such policy
      shall be primary with respect to the activities of Purchaser and its
      agents, engineers or representatives at the Property, whether or not
      Seller holds other policies of insurance. Purchaser or its agents,
      engineers or representatives shall deliver a certificate issued by the
      insurance carrier of such policy to Seller prior to entry upon the
      Property.

            (c)   Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify, defend (with counsel
      selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller) and hold Seller
      harmless from any liens, claims, liabilities, and damages incurred through
      the exercise of the inspection privilege referred to in Paragraph 4(a)
      (but excluding any liability arising out of the existing environmental
      condition of the Property or the presence of toxic or hazardous substances
      thereon and excluding any claims arising out of a release of existing or
      in-place hazardous or toxic substances on or under the Property), and
      Purchaser further agrees to repair any damage to the Property caused by
      the exercise of such privilege (excluding any damage arising out of a
      release of existing or in-place hazardous or toxic substances on or under
      the Property). The foregoing indemnification and repair obligations of
      Purchaser shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

            (d)   At all reasonable times prior to the Closing, Seller shall
      make available to Purchaser, or Purchaser's agents and representatives, at
      Seller's office in San Diego, California for review and copying at
      Purchaser's expense, all books, records, and files relating to the
      ownership and operation of the Property, including, without limitation,
      title matters, tenant files, tenant credit information, commission
      agreements, service and maintenance agreements, maintenance records for
      HVAC and other equipment and the roof(s) on the Improvements, as-built
      plans and specifications, environmental reports, engineering reports,
      reports of insurance carriers insuring the Property, and other contracts,
      books, records, operating statements, expense budgets, and other
      information relating to the Property. Seller further agrees to provide to
      Purchaser prior to the date which is five (5) days after the effective
      date of this Agreement, to the extent the same are in the possession of or
      under the control of Seller, the most current boundary and "as- built"
      surveys of the Land and Improvements and any title insurance policies,
      environmental reports, certificates of occupancy, building permits, zoning
      letters and instruments reflecting the approval of any association
      governing the Property or relating thereto. At no cost or liability to
      Seller, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser, its counsel, accountants,
      agents, and representatives, provide them with access to Seller's books
      and records with respect to the ownership, management, maintenance, and
      operation of the Property for the applicable period, and permit them to
      copy the same. At no cost to Purchaser, Seller shall use commercially
      reasonable efforts to cause the authors of environmental reports to issue
      reliance letters addressed to Purchaser and Purchaser's

                                       3
<PAGE>

      lender, if any, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Purchaser,
      at least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period.
      Notwithstanding the terms of this Paragraph 4, Seller has not and shall
      not be required to provide or make available to Purchaser copies of
      appraisals, building inspection reports, internal financial analysis and
      calculations, documents protected by the attorney-client or attorney
      work-product privileges, Seller's formative documents or that of its
      members or investors (except to the extent required to confirm the
      authority of Seller to execute this Agreement and consummate the
      transaction contemplated hereby), or Seller's inter-member communications.
      In addition, Purchaser agrees to return to Seller or otherwise destroy all
      documents provided by Seller to Purchaser relating to the Property if
      Purchaser or Seller terminates this Agreement, except for documentation
      retained by Purchaser in connection with any pending or threatened
      litigation related to such termination or claimed default by Seller or
      Purchaser.

            (e)   Seller acknowledges that Purchaser may be required by the
      Securities and Exchange Commission to file audited financial statements
      for one (1) to three (3) years with regard to the Property. At no cost or
      liability to Seller, Seller shall (i) reasonably cooperate with Purchaser,
      its counsel, accountants, agents, and representatives, provide them with
      access to Seller's books and records with respect to the ownership,
      management, maintenance, and operation of the Property for the applicable
      period, and permit them to copy the same, and (ii) execute a form of
      accounting letter in the form attached hereto as Exhibit "N". Purchaser
      will pay the costs associated with any such audit.

            (f)   To the extent Seller provides Purchaser with any information
      regarding the Property, Purchaser will be solely responsible for
      evaluating any such information provided by Seller to Purchaser for
      purposes of determining the suitability of the Property for Purchaser's
      intended use, and Seller makes no representations or warranties concerning
      such information.

            (g)   If Purchaser or Seller terminates this Agreement and Seller is
      not in default of its obligations hereunder, Purchaser agrees to deliver
      to Seller copies of third-party reports, but excluding appraisals and
      documents protected by the attorney-client or work-product privileges,
      within thirty (30) days after the date of termination.

      5.    Special Condition to Closing. Purchaser shall have a period from the
effective date hereof until April 30, 2004 (the "Inspection Period") to make
investigations, examinations, inspections, market studies, feasibility studies,
lease reviews, and tests relating to the Property and the operation thereof in
order to determine, in Purchaser's sole opinion and discretion, the suitability
of the Property for acquisition by Purchaser. Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period by giving written notice to Seller of such election to terminate. In the
event Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled
to retain the sum of Twenty-Five Dollars ($25.00) of the Earnest Money, and the
balance of the Earnest Money shall be refunded by Seller to Purchaser,
whereupon, except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, no
party hereto shall have any other or further rights or obligations under this
Agreement. Seller acknowledges that the sum of $25.00 is good and adequate
consideration for the termination

                                       4
<PAGE>

rights granted to Purchaser hereunder. Purchaser's delivery to Escrow Agent of
the Second Deposit on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period shall be
deemed Purchaser's approval of its investigation of the Property. If Purchaser
fails to deliver the Second Deposit on or before the expiration of the
Inspection Period, then Seller or Purchaser, until such time that Purchaser
delivers the Second Deposit to Escrow Agent, may terminate this Agreement by
giving written notice to the other party and the Earnest Money shall be returned
to Purchaser.

      6.    General Conditions Precedent to Purchaser's Obligations Regarding
the Closing. In addition to the conditions to Purchaser's obligations set forth
in Paragraph 5 above, the obligations and liabilities of Purchaser hereunder
shall in all respects be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the
following conditions prior to or simultaneously with the Closing, any of which
may be waived by written notice from Purchaser to Seller:

            (a)   Seller has complied with and otherwise performed, in all
      material respects each of the covenants and obligations of Seller set
      forth in this Agreement.

            (b)   All representations and warranties of Seller as set forth in
      this Agreement shall be in all material respects true and correct when
      made and, except with respect to Section 8.(c) below, as of the date of
      Closing.

            (c)   There has been no adverse change to the title to the Property
      since the effective date of the Title Commitment (as hereinafter defined)
      which has not been cured and the Title Company (as hereinafter defined)
      has issued an owner's title insurance commitment on the Land, the Ground
      Leases and Improvements and is prepared to issue to Purchaser upon the
      Closing a fee simple owner's title insurance policy on the Land, Ground
      Leases and Improvements which shall include only the Permitted Exceptions.

            (d)   Purchaser shall have received by June 4, 2004, Tenant Estoppel
      Certificates (as defined in Section 9(d) below) from eighty percent (80%)
      (by square footage) of the Tenants occupying the Property, which shall
      include all Major Tenants (except Purchaser shall receive from GSA the
      "GSA Certificate" as defined below), duly executed by the corresponding
      Tenants. If Purchaser has not received the required amount of estoppels
      and the subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreements described
      in 6(e) below, then Seller shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date
      until five (5) days after the receipt of all such estoppels, to permit
      Seller to secure such estoppels.

            (e)   Purchaser shall have received by June 4, 2004, a
      subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from eighty
      percent (80%) (by square footage) of the Tenants occupying the Property
      (which shall include all Major Tenants) in a form consistent with those
      specified in Tenant's Leases (except for the GSA, for which the GSA
      Certificate shall be sufficient). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
      Purchaser provides Seller with an alternate form of subordination,
      non-disturbance and attornment agreement prior to April 21, 2004 and
      Seller reasonably approves such alternate form (which Seller shall approve
      or disapprove within two (2) days of receipt), then Seller shall present
      such form to the Tenants, but Purchaser's obligations hereunder shall only
      be conditioned upon the receipt of subordination, non-disturbance and
      attornment

                                       5
<PAGE>

      agreements in either the form attached to the Leases or the form provided
      to Seller on or before April 21,2004, or any combination thereof.

            (f)   Eighty percent (80%) of the lessors under the Ground Leases
      shall have executed a consent, assignment and release agreement
      ("Consent") in the form of Exhibit "B-1" attached hereto consenting to the
      assignment of the Ground Leases to Purchaser and releasing Seller from all
      obligations under the Ground Leases and a separate estoppel certificate
      from the lessors under the Ground Leases indicating that Seller is not in
      default under the Ground Leases. Seller's failure to obtain such Consent
      and estoppel certificate shall not be considered a default hereunder and
      Seller shall be permitted to extend the Closing Date until five (5) days
      after the receipt of such consent and estoppel certificate, to permit
      Seller to secure them. Purchaser shall provide all documents requested by
      the lessors under the Ground Leases to approve the release of Seller
      thereunder and shall execute all documentation requested by the lessors
      related to Purchaser's assumption of the obligations under the Ground
      Leases. If on or before April 21, 2004 Purchaser provides Seller with an
      alternate form of estoppel certificate for the Ground Leases (addressing
      items other than those contained in Section 8(b) of the Ground Lease,
      which contains the procedures for the estoppel certificate to be furnished
      by the lessors under the Ground Leases) and Seller reasonably approves
      such alternate form of estoppel certificate (which Seller shall approve or
      disapprove within two (2) business days of receipt), then Seller shall
      present such form to the lessors under the Ground Leases, but the
      condition of receipt of estoppel certificates from the lessors under the
      Ground Leases shall be satisfied by either the receipt of an estoppel
      certificate as described in Section 8(b) of the Ground Leases or the
      alternate form of estoppel certificate provided by Purchaser. This
      condition is also a condition for Seller's benefit and, notwithstanding
      anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, may not be waived by
      Purchaser without Seller's prior written consent.

            (g)   Seller and Purchaser are simultaneously with the execution of
      this Agreement entering into an agreement for the purchase and sale of
      Seller's interest in real property located at 402 West Broadway in San
      Diego, California ("Related Agreement"). The Related Agreement shall close
      simultaneously with the Closing of this Agreement. This condition is also
      a condition for Seller's benefit and, notwithstanding anything to the
      contrary contained in this Agreement, may not be waived by Purchaser
      without Seller's prior written consent. Purchaser's default under the
      Related Agreement shall be deemed a default hereunder and shall entitle
      Seller to receive the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as provided in
      Section 15.

            (h)   At the time of the Closing: (i) no Tenant occupying more than
      25,000 rentable square feet shall be in monetary default under its Lease
      for a period exceeding thirty (30) days; (ii) no Tenant occupying more
      than 25,000 rentable square feet shall have given notice of its intention
      to vacate the Premises (or actually vacated the Premises) prior to the
      termination of its Lease (except for termination rights contained in the
      Tenant's Lease); and (iii) no Tenant occupying more than 25,000 rentable
      square feet shall have filed bankruptcy proceedings.

                                       6
<PAGE>

In the event Purchaser shall terminate this Agreement as a result of the
non-satisfaction of any of the foregoing conditions, Purchaser shall be entitled
to an immediate return of the Earnest Money from Escrow Agent. The
non-satisfaction of any of the foregoing conditions shall not, in and of itself,
be construed to be a default by Seller hereunder.

      7.    Title to the Property. Good and marketable fee simple record title
to the Land and Improvements shall be conveyed by Seller to Purchaser by Grant
Deed and leasehold title shall be conveyed by the free and clear of all liens,
easements, restrictions, and encumbrances whatsoever, excepting only the matters
set forth on Exhibit "C" attached hereto (hereinafter referred to as the
"Permitted Exceptions").

            (a)   Purchaser has obtained from New Century Title Company (herein
      referred to as "Title Company") its commitment (hereinafter referred to as
      the "Title Commitment") to issue to Purchaser upon the recording of both
      the Grant Deed conveying title to the Land and Improvements from Seller to
      Purchaser and the assignment of the Ground Leases, the payment of the
      Purchase Price, and the payment to the Title Company of the policy premium
      therefor, an ALTA owner's policy of title insurance, in the amount of the
      Purchase Price, insuring good and marketable fee simple record title to
      the Land and Improvements and leasehold interest in the Ground Leases to
      be in Purchaser without exception (including any standard exception)
      except for the Permitted Exceptions, which contains the following
      endorsements to the extent the same are available in the State of
      California: comprehensive, zoning, covenants and restrictions, creditor's
      rights, survey, and access (provided, however that Purchaser shall be
      solely responsible for the portion of the premium charged by the Title
      Company in order to upgrade the title policy from a CLTA policy to an ALTA
      policy and the cost of any premiums charged by Title Company in connection
      with any and all such endorsements). The title policy issued pursuant to
      the Title Commitment shall not contain any exception for mechanic's or
      materialmen's liens or any exception for unpaid taxes other than an
      exception for taxes for 2004 and subsequent years not yet due or payable.
      The title policy issued pursuant to the Title Commitment shall not contain
      any exception for rights of parties in possession other than an exception
      for the rights of the Tenants (as hereinafter defined), as tenants only,
      under the Leases. The title policy issued pursuant to the Title Commitment
      shall also contain such other special endorsements as Purchaser shall
      reasonably require (the "Endorsements"). Purchaser has delivered to Seller
      a true and complete copy of the Title Commitment.

            (b)   Purchaser has also received Seller's most recent surveys of
      the Property. From time to time, Purchaser may request an update to the
      effective date of such Title Commitment or may update the date of the
      survey and give notice to Seller of all defects or objections appearing
      subsequent to the effective date of the Title Commitment (or previous
      update thereof) or survey, as the case may be (including any reduction of
      parking spaces). Seller agrees to cause the satisfaction and release of
      the monetary encumbrances on the Property in favor of Istar Financial. All
      matters disclosed by an updated Title Commitment and/or survey and not
      objected to by Purchaser within five (5) days after receipt of such
      updates shall be deemed to be additional "Permitted Exceptions"; provided,
      however, encumbrances created by Seller in violation of this

                                       7
<PAGE>

      Agreement, taxes due and payable prior to Closing, and any mortgages,
      deeds of trust, mechanic's or materialmen's liens and other such monetary
      encumbrances shall in no event be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.

            Seller shall have five (5) days after receipt of such notice of
      title defects or objections from Purchaser to advise Purchaser in writing
      which of such title defects or objections Seller does not intend to
      satisfy or cure; provided, however, Seller hereby agrees that Seller shall
      satisfy or cure prior to Closing any such defects or objections consisting
      of encumbrances created by Seller in violation of this Agreement, any
      taxes due and payable prior to Closing, and any mortgages, deeds of trust,
      mechanic's or materialmen's liens and other such monetary encumbrances. In
      the event Seller fails to give such written advice to Purchaser within
      such five (5) day period, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed to satisfy
      or cure all such defects or objections set forth in Purchaser's notice. If
      Seller shall advise Purchaser in writing that Seller does not intend to
      satisfy or cure any specific encumbrances which Seller is not obligated to
      satisfy or cure under the second preceding sentence, Purchaser may elect
      either (a) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in
      which event the Earnest Money shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser
      and this Agreement shall be of no further force or effect and Purchaser
      and Seller shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities
      hereunder, except for the obligations hereunder which expressly survive
      termination, or (b) to accept title subject to such specific encumbrances,
      in which case such specific encumbrances shall become additional
      "Permitted Exceptions". Seller shall have until Closing to satisfy or cure
      all such defects and objections which Seller agreed (or is deemed to have
      agreed) to satisfy or cure as provided above. In the event Seller fails or
      refuses to cure any defects and objections which are required herein to be
      satisfied or cured by Seller prior to the Closing, then (i) Purchaser may
      terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the
      Earnest Money shall be immediately refunded to Purchaser, and this
      Agreement shall be of no further force and effect and Purchaser and Seller
      shall have no further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except
      for the obligations which expressly survive termination.

      8.    Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby makes the
following representations and warranties to Purchaser, each of which shall be
deemed material:

            (a)   Leases. Attached hereto as Exhibit "D" is a complete list
      setting forth all leases in effect relating to the Property and all
      modifications and amendments to such leases (such leases, as modified and
      amended, being herein collectively referred to as the "Leases" or
      individually as "Lease"). Seller has delivered to Purchaser complete and
      accurate copies of all of the Leases. Seller is the "landlord" under all
      of the Leases and owns unencumbered legal and beneficial title to all of
      the Leases and the rents and other income thereunder, subject only to the
      collateral assignment of the Leases and rents thereunder in favor of the
      holder of a deed of trust encumbering the Property, which deed of trust
      shall be cancelled and satisfied by Seller at the Closing. The lessees or
      tenants identified in the Leases are hereinafter collectively referred to
      as "Tenants" or individually as "Tenant".

                                       8
<PAGE>

            (b)   Leases - Assignment. To the best of Seller's knowledge, no
      Tenant has assigned its interest in its Lease or sublet any portion of the
      premises leased to such Tenant under its Lease except as indicated on
      Exhibit "D".

            (c)   Leases - Default. Except as shown on Exhibit "D-1" attached
      hereto, (i) Seller has not received any notice of termination or default
      under any of the Leases, (ii) to the best of Seller's knowledge, there are
      no existing or uncured defaults by Seller, by any predecessor landlord,
      or, by any Tenant under the Leases, (iii) to the best of Seller's
      knowledge there are no events which with passage of time or notice, or
      both, would constitute a default by Seller or by any Tenant, and, to the
      best of Seller's knowledge, Seller has complied with each and every
      material undertaking, covenant, and obligation of Seller under each Lease
      required to be performed or observed through the date hereof, (iv) no
      Tenant has asserted in writing to Seller any defense, set-off, or
      counterclaim with respect to its tenancy or its obligation to pay rent,
      additional rent, or other charges pursuant to its Lease, and (v) to the
      best of Seller's knowledge, no Tenant is using its premises in violation
      of an "exclusive" granted to another Tenant or occupant of the Property.

            (d)   Leases - Rents and Special Consideration. Except as reflected
      on the Tenant Concession and Commission Schedule attached hereto as
      Exhibit "E", no Tenant: (i) has prepaid rent for more than the current
      month under such Tenant's Lease, (ii) is entitled to receive any rent
      concession (not already taken) in connection with its tenancy under its
      Lease, (iii) is entitled to any special work (not yet performed) or
      consideration (not yet given) in connection with its tenancy, and (iv) has
      any deed, option, or other evidence of any right or interest in or to the
      Property, except for such Tenant's tenancy as evidenced by the express
      terms of the Tenant's Lease. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser at closing
      an amount equal to the undisbursed tenant allowance sums set forth in
      Exhibit "E".

            (e)   Leases - Commissions. No rental, lease, or other commissions
      with respect to any Lease are payable to Seller, to any partner or member
      of Seller, any party affiliated with or related to Seller or any partner
      or member of Seller or to any third party whatsoever. All commissions
      payable under, relating to, or as a result of the Leases have been
      cashed-out and paid and satisfied in full by Seller or by Seller's
      predecessor in title to the Property, and no further commissions shall be
      due or payable as a result of any Lease, excluding, however, any brokerage
      commissions for any extension of the term of any Lease or any expansion of
      the space leased thereunder pursuant to the commission agreements
      described on the Tenant Concession and Commission Schedule attached hereto
      as Exhibit "E". Seller has delivered to Purchaser complete and accurate
      copies of all such commission agreements. Upon Closing, Seller shall have
      no further responsibility or liability for any brokerage commissions due
      upon any extension of the terms of any Lease or any expansion of the space
      leased thereunder, if any.

            (f)   Leases - Acceptance of Premises. Seller has not received
      notice from any Tenant that such Tenant's premises are not in full
      compliance with the terms and provisions of such Tenant's Lease or are not
      satisfactory for such Tenant's purposes. None of the Tenants has indicated
      to Seller in writing its request or its intent to terminate

                                       9
<PAGE>

      its Lease prior to the expiration of the respective term of such Lease or
      to reduce the size of the premises leased by such Tenant.

            (g)   Service Contracts. Attached hereto as Exhibit "F" is a
      complete and accurate list and description of all of the service
      contracts, management agreements, or other agreements (other than the
      Leases) which are in effect and which relate to the operation, management,
      or maintenance of the Property (said agreements being herein collectively
      referred to as the "Service Contracts"). Seller has provided Purchaser
      with complete and accurate copies of all Service Contracts. All such
      Service Contracts are in full force and effect in accordance with their
      respective provisions, all payments required to be made by Seller or the
      "Owner" thereunder have been paid in full, and, to the best of Seller's
      knowledge, there is no default, or claim of default, or any event which
      the passage of time or notice, or both, would constitute a default on the
      part of any party to any of such Service Contracts. All such Service
      Contracts are terminable without penalty or obligation to pay any
      severance or similar compensation on no more than thirty (30) days'
      notice, except as expressly set forth on Exhibit "F". Seller agrees to
      cancel, effective no later than the Closing, any of the Service Contracts
      specified by Purchaser in a written notice to Seller given at least thirty
      (30) days prior to the Closing. All Service Contracts are assignable by
      Seller to Purchaser and no Service Contract prohibits such assignment or
      provides for any right, claim, or cause of action against Purchaser or the
      Property upon such Assignment. Except as may otherwise be agreed in
      writing by Purchaser and Seller, Seller has cancelled or will cancel,
      effective as of the Closing, any agreement in the nature of a management
      agreement or service contract between Seller and any partner or member of
      Seller or any party affiliated with or related to Seller or any partner or
      member of Seller.

            (h)   Warranties and Guaranties. Attached hereto as Exhibit "G" is a
      complete and accurate list and description of all of the warranties and
      guaranties of contractors, vendors, manufacturers and other parties which
      are known by Seller to be in effect and to relate to the Property.

            (i)   No Other Agreements. Other than the Leases, the Service
      Contracts, and the Permitted Exceptions, there are no leases, service
      contracts, management agreements, or other agreements or instruments in
      force and effect, oral or written, that grant to any person whomsoever or
      any entity whatsoever any right, title, interest or benefit in or to all
      or any part of the Property, any rights to acquire all or any part of the
      Property or any rights relating to the use, operation, management,
      maintenance, or repair of all or any part of the Property.

            (j)   No Litigation. No actions, suits, or proceedings are pending,
      or to the best of Seller's knowledge have been threatened by any
      organization, person, individual, or governmental agency that concerns or
      affects the Property or Seller's right to perform its obligations
      hereunder except as listed on attached Exhibit "O". Seller also has no
      knowledge of any pending or threatened application for changes in the
      zoning applicable to the Property or any portion thereof.

            (k)   Condemnation. No condemnation or other taking by eminent
      domain of the Property or any portion thereof has been instituted and, to
      the best of Seller's knowledge, there are no pending or threatened
      condemnation or eminent domain proceedings (or proceedings in the nature
      or in lieu thereof) affecting the Property or any portion thereof or its
      use.

            (l)   No Roll-Back Taxes. To the best of Seller's knowledge, the
      Property has not been classified under any designation authorized by law
      to obtain a special low ad valorem tax rate or to receive a reduction,
      abatement or deferment of ad valorem taxes which, in such case, will
      result in additional, catch-up or roll-back ad valorem taxes in the future
      in order to recover the amounts previously reduced, abated or deferred.

            (m)   No Assessments. To the best of Seller's knowledge, no
      assessments have been made against the Property that are unpaid, whether
      or not they have become liens, and no impact fees or similar charges or
      sums are payable as result of the construction of the Improvements.

            (n)   Certificates. There are presently in effect permanent
      certificates of occupancy, licenses, and permits as may be required for
      the Property, and the present use and occupation of the Property is in
      compliance and conformity with the certificates of occupancy and all
      licenses and permits. Within three (3) days after the effective date of
      this Agreement, Seller shall provide Purchaser with complete and accurate
      copies of all such Certificates of Occupancy, licenses and permits that
      are known by Seller to relate to the Property and which are in the
      possession or control of Seller. To the best of Seller's knowledge, there
      has been no notice or request of any municipal department, insurance
      company or board of fire underwriters (or organization exercising
      functions similar thereto), directed to Seller and requesting the
      performance of any work or alteration in respect to the Property which has
      not been complied with.

            (o)   Compliance With Governmental Requirements. Seller has received
      no notice of any violations of law, municipal or county ordinances, or
      other legal requirements with respect to the Property, including any legal
      requirements with respect to the use, occupancy or construction of the
      Improvements. To the best of Seller's knowledge, the Property is currently
      zoned in a classification such as will permit the operation of the
      Property as office buildings and the conditions, if any, to the granting
      of the zoning of the Property have been satisfied. To the best of Seller's
      knowledge, the Property is not located in a wetland area or in a
      designated or recognized flood plain, flood plain district, flood hazard
      area or area of similar characterization or in an area of special risk
      with respect to earth movement, rising groundwater, or other natural
      hazards.

            (p)   Utilities. To the best of Seller's knowledge, all utilities
      necessary for the use of the Property as an office building of the size
      and nature situated thereon, including water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer,
      natural gas, electricity, and telephone, are installed and operational,
      and such utilities either enter the Property through adjoining public
      streets, or, if they pass through adjoining private land, do so in
      accordance with valid public easements or private easements which inure to
      the benefit of the Property.

      persons or entities furnishing work, labor, materials, or supplies by or
      at the instance of Seller for the Property have been paid in full and,
      other than routine ongoing charges pursuant to the Service Contracts,
      there are no claims against the Property or Seller in connection
      therewith.

            (t)   No Liens Upon Building Service Equipment. None of the
      fixtures, equipment, apparatus, fittings, machinery, appliances,
      furniture, furnishings, and articles of personal property attached or
      appurtenant to, or used in connection with the occupation or operation of,
      all or any part of the Property are leased by Seller from third parties,
      and all of same which are owned by Seller, including the Personal
      Property, are free of any and all liens, encumbrances, charges, or adverse
      interests, except for the security interest granted to the holder of the
      existing deed of trust encumbering the Property, which security interest
      shall be terminated or cancelled at the time of the Closing.

            (u)   Tax Returns. All property tax returns required to be filed by
      Seller relating to the Property under any law, ordinance, rule,
      regulation, order, or requirement of any governmental authority have been,
      or will be, as the case may be, truthfully, correctly, and timely filed.

            (v)   Employees. There are no employment, collective bargaining, or
      similar agreements or arrangements between Seller and any of its employees
      or others that will be binding on Purchaser or any of Purchaser's
      successors in title.

true and correct as of the date of the Closing, except for any changes in any
such representations or warranties that occur and are disclosed by the party
making such representation or warranty (either to Purchaser or Seller, as the
case may be), expressly and in writing at any time and from time to time prior
to Closing upon their occurrence, which disclosures shall thereafter be updated

representations and warranties willfully caused by Seller or any such
representations and warranties willfully breached by Seller.

      Whenever a representation or warranty is made in this Agreement "to the
best knowledge of Seller", such representation and warranty is made solely on
the basis of the actual, as distinguished from implied, imputed and
constructive, knowledge on the date of such representation or warranty is made
of Mark Schlossberg, principal of Seller having responsibility for the
management, operation and sale of the Property, without attribution to Mark
Schlossberg of facts and matters otherwise within the personal knowledge of any
other principals or employees of Seller or third parties. Mark Schlossberg shall
have no personal liability or obligation hereunder to Purchaser nor shall such
individuals owe any duty whatsoever to Purchaser.

            (c)   Preservation of Leases. Seller shall, from and after the date
      of this Agreement to the date of Closing, use its best efforts to perform
      and discharge all of the duties and obligations and shall otherwise comply
      with every covenant and agreement of the landlord or lessor under the
      Leases, at Seller's expense, in the manner and within the time limits
      required thereunder. Furthermore, Seller shall, for the same period of
      time,

                                       14
<PAGE>

      use diligent and good faith efforts to cause the Tenants under the Leases
      to perform all of their respective duties and obligations and otherwise
      comply with each and every one of their covenants and agreements under
      such Leases and shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary to
      enforce the terms and provisions of such Leases.

            (d)   Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Seller shall use commercially
      reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser fully completed
      estoppel certificates from eighty percent (80%) of the Tenants of the
      Property (by square footage) occupying the Property as of the Closing,
      which eighty percent (80%) shall include all Tenants of the Property
      occupying more than 10,000 rentable square feet at the time of the Closing
      (including, without limitation, GSA) (each a "Major Tenant") in the form
      attached hereto as Exhibit "H" (herein referred to as the "Tenant Estoppel
      Certificates"), duly executed by the Tenant thereunder. Notwithstanding
      the foregoing, with respect to GSA, which is a Major Tenant, Seller shall
      obtain a letter in the form of Exhibit "H-1" (herein referred to as the
      "GSA Certificate") in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate. Seller shall
      use all reasonable efforts to cause the executed Tenant Estoppel
      Certificates and GSA Certificate to be delivered to Purchaser prior to
      June 4, 2004. If Purchaser furnishes an alternate form of estoppel
      certificate to Seller on or before April 21, 2004 and Seller reasonably
      approves such alternate form (which Seller shall approve or disapprove
      within two (2) business days of receipt), then Seller will present such
      alternate certificate to the Tenants, but Purchaser's obligations as
      described in Section 6.(d) of this Agreement shall be conditioned upon the
      receipt of estoppel certificates from the Tenants in the form of either
      the attached Exhibit "H" or "H-1", as the case may be, or the form that
      Purchaser provides to Seller on or before April 21, 2004, or any
      combination thereof. The Tenant Estoppel Certificates and GSA Certificate
      shall be executed as of the date not more than sixty (60) days prior to
      Closing. Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement shall be conditioned
      upon Purchaser receiving an executed Estoppel Certificate (and, with
      respect to GSA, the GSA Certificate) from eighty percent (80%) (by square
      footage) of the Tenants (including the Major Tenants) prior to June 4,
      2004, as such date may be extended pursuant to Paragraph 6(d) above.

            (e)   Insurance. From and after the date of this Agreement to the
      date and time of Closing, Seller shall, at its expense, continue to
      maintain the same special form/"all risk" insurance covering the Property
      which is currently in force and effect.

            (f)   Tenant Correspondence. From and after the date of this
      Agreement to the date and time of Closing, Seller shall furnish to
      Purchaser, promptly upon Seller's receipt, copies of notices from and
      correspondence with any Tenant occupying greater than 25,000 rentable
      square feet with respect to such Tenant's bankruptcy, vacating of the
      Property or default under its Lease..

      10.   Closing. Provided that all of the conditions set forth in this
Agreement are theretofore fully satisfied or performed, it being fully
understood and agreed, however, that Purchaser may waive expressly and in
writing, at or prior to Closing, any conditions for its sole benefit that are
unsatisfied or unperformed at such time, the consummation of the sale by Seller
and purchase by Purchaser of the Property (herein referred to as the "Closing")
shall be held on or before June 11, 2004 ("Closing Date"), at an office in San
Diego, California at such specific

                                       15

in a written notice to Seller not less than three (3) business days prior to

place of Closing, the Closing shall occur at 1:30 p.m. on the last date for such
Closing as provided above, at the San Diego, California office of the Title
Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the conditions in this Agreement are
not satisfied or waived by the party benefited by such conditions on or before
August 31, 2004, then either party may thereafter terminate this Agreement by
written notice to the other party and Escrow Agent.

            (a)   Rents. Rents, additional rents, operating costs, and other
      income of the Property (other than security deposits) collected by Seller
      from the Tenants for the month of Closing shall be prorated as of 12:00
      a.m. on the date of Closing. Purchaser shall also receive a credit against
      the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser to Seller at Closing for any rents
      or other sums (not including security deposits) prepaid by the Tenants for
      any period following the month of Closing, or otherwise. Purchaser shall
      receive a credit against the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser to Seller
      at Closing for the total sum of all security deposits paid by Tenants
      under Leases and not theretofore applied to

                                       18
<PAGE>

      delinquent rent and other charges payable by the applicable Tenant. Seller
      hereby acknowledges that Purchaser shall not be legally responsible to
      Seller for the collection of any uncollected rent or other income under
      any of the Leases that is past due or otherwise due and payable as of the
      date of Closing. Purchaser agrees that if (i) a Tenant is in arrears on
      the date of Closing in the payment of rent or other charges under such
      Tenant's Lease, and (ii) upon Purchaser's receipt of any rental or other
      payment from such Tenant, such Tenant is, or after application of a
      portion of such payment will be, current under such Lease in the payment
      of all accrued rental and other charges that become due and payable on the
      date of Closing or thereafter and in the payment of any other obligations
      of such Tenant to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall refund to Seller, out of
      and to the extent of the portion of such payment remaining after Purchaser
      deducts therefrom any and all sums due and owing it from such Tenant from
      and after the date of Closing, an amount up to the full amount of any
      arrearage existing on the date of Closing.

            (b)   Property Taxes. City, state, county, and school district ad
      valorem taxes based on the ad valorem tax bills for the Property, if then
      available, or if not, then on the basis of the latest available tax
      figures and information and applicable statutory increases. Should such
      proration be based on such latest available tax figures and information
      and applicable statutory increases and prove to be inaccurate on receipt
      of the ad valorem tax bills for the Property for the year of Closing,
      either Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, may demand at any time
      after Closing a payment from the other correcting such malapportionment.
      In addition, if after Closing there is an adjustment or reassessment by
      any governmental authority with respect to, or affecting, any ad valorem
      taxes for the Property for the year of Closing or any prior year, any
      additional tax payment for the Property required to be paid with respect
      the year of Closing (excluding any increase in taxes solely as a
      consequence of the "transfer of ownership" to Seller and excluding any
      increase in taxes solely as a consequence of tenant improvement work
      completed after Closing) shall be prorated between Purchaser and Seller
      and any such additional tax payment for the Property for any year prior to
      the year of Closing shall be paid by Seller. This agreement shall
      expressly survive the Closing.

            (c)   Utility Charges. Except for utilities which are the direct
      responsibility of the Tenants to the applicable public or private
      utilities supplier, Seller shall pay all utility bills received prior to
      Closing and shall be responsible for utilities furnished to the Property
      prior to Closing. Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all
      bills for utilities furnished to the Property subsequent to the Closing.
      Seller and Purchaser hereby agree to prorate as of midnight preceding the
      date of Closing and pay their respective shares of all utility bills
      received subsequent to Closing (if they include a service period prior to
      the date of Closing), which agreement shall survive Closing. Seller shall
      be entitled to all deposits presently in effect with the utility
      providers.

            (d)   Service Contracts. Charges under the Service Contracts shall
      be prorated as of midnight preceding the date of Closing.

            (e)   Other Tenant Charges. Where the Leases contain Tenant
      obligations for taxes, common area expenses, operating expenses or
      additional charges of any nature, and where Seller shall have collected on
      an estimated basis any portion thereof in excess

                                       19
<PAGE>

      of amounts owed by Seller for such items for the period prior to the date
      of Closing, then there shall be an adjustment and credit given to
      Purchaser on the date of Closing for such excess amounts collected.
      Purchaser shall apply all such excess amounts to the charges owed by
      Purchaser for such items for the period after the date of Closing, and if
      required by the Leases, shall rebate or credit Tenants with any remainder.
      If it is determined subsequent to the Closing that the amount collected
      during Seller's ownership period exceeded expenses incurred during the
      same period by more than the amount previously credited to Purchaser at
      Closing, then Seller shall promptly pay to Purchaser the deficiency. If it
      is determined subsequent to Closing that the amount collected during
      Seller's ownership period exceeded expenses incurred during the same
      period by less than the amount previously credited to Purchaser at
      Closing, then Purchaser shall promptly pay to Seller the overpayment.

            (f)   Tenant Inducements and Unpaid Commissions. Seller shall pay
      all leasing commissions in connection with any Lease executed on or before
      the effective date of this Agreement (including leasing commissions
      attributable to the exercise by the Tenants of any expansion or extension
      options set forth in the Lease which are not exercised until after the
      Closing). Purchaser shall be entitled to a credit against the Purchase
      Price for the total sum of any unexpired concessions under any Leases to
      the extent they apply to any period after the Closing. Purchaser shall
      also be entitled to a credit against the Purchase Price for the total sum
      of any remaining improvement allowances the payment of which may become
      the obligation of the landlord or lessor under the Leases after the
      Closing, but Purchaser shall receive no such credit against the Purchase
      Price for any improvement allowances payable by the landlord or lessor
      under the Leases as a result of the exercise by a Tenant after the Closing
      of any expansion or extension option in such Tenant's Lease.

      15.   Purchaser's Default. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY
IMPRACTICAL AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS
A RESULT OF PURCHASER'S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES
EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR
IN THIS PARAGRAPH REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER
WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT
OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE
MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO
CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE
SECTION 1671, 1676, AND 1677. THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO
INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS
PARAGRAPH. IN THE EVENT OF DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS
AGREEMENT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DEFAULT OR FAILURE TO CLOSE UNDER
THE RELATED AGREEMENT), SELLER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO RECEIVE
THE EARNEST MONEY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND THEREAFTER THE PARTIES HERETO SHALL
HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS

                                       20
<PAGE>

HEREUNDER WHATSOEVER. THE LIMITATIONS ON PURCHASER'S LIABILITY UNDER THIS
PARAGRAPH 15 SHALL BE INAPPLICABLE TO THE LIABILITY OF PURCHASER FOR PAYMENTS,
IF ANY, DUE BY PURCHASER TO SELLER UNDER PARAGRAPH 4 HEREOF.

                                                            /s/ A.W.T.
              _________________                      --------------------
              SELLER'S INITIALS                      PURCHASER'S INITIALS

      16.   Seller's Default. In the event of default by Seller under the terms
of this Agreement, except as otherwise specifically set forth herein, at
Purchaser's option: (i) Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by written notice
to Seller, whereupon the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned by Escrow
Agent to Purchaser, and the parties hereto shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder whatsoever; or (ii) Purchaser shall be entitled to an
immediate refund of all but $25.00 of the Earnest Money and to pursue against
Seller the remedy of specific performance.

      17.   Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any part of the
Property is subjected to a bona fide threat of condemnation by a body having the
power of eminent domain or is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or sale
in lieu thereof), or if Seller has received notice that any condemnation action
or proceeding with respect to the Property is contemplated by a body having the
power of eminent domain, Seller shall give Purchaser immediate written notice of
such threatened or contemplated condemnation or of such taking or sale, and
Purchaser may by written notice to Seller given within thirty (30) days of the
receipt of such notice from Seller, elect to cancel this Agreement. If Purchaser
chooses to cancel this Agreement in accordance with this Paragraph 17, then the
Earnest Money shall be returned immediately to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and the
rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of the parties hereunder shall
immediately terminate and be of no further force and effect, except for those
obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof. If Purchaser does not
elect to cancel this Agreement in accordance herewith, this Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect and the sale of the Property contemplated by
this Agreement, less any interest taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or
sale in lieu thereof, shall be effected with no further adjustment and without
reduction of the Purchase Price, and at the Closing, Seller shall assign,
transfer, and set over to Purchaser all of the right, title, and interest of
Seller in and to any awards that have been or that may thereafter be made for
such taking. At such time as all or a part of the Property is subjected to a
bona fide threat of condemnation and Purchaser shall not have elected to
terminate this Agreement as hereinabove provided, Purchaser shall be permitted
to participate in the proceedings as if Purchaser were a party to the action.
Seller shall not settle or agree to any award or payment pursuant to
condemnation, eminent domain, or sale in lieu thereof without obtaining
Purchaser's prior written consent thereto in each case.

      18.   Damage or Destruction. If any of the Improvements shall be destroyed
or damaged prior to the Closing, and if either the estimated cost of repair or
replacement exceeds One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or the damage results in
the termination of one or more of the Leases that together comprise more than
fifty thousand (50,000) rentable square feet, Purchaser may, by written notice
given to Seller within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from
Seller of such damage or destruction, elect to terminate this Agreement, in
which

                                       21
<PAGE>

event the Earnest Money shall immediately be returned by Escrow Agent to
Purchaser and the rights, duties, obligations, and liabilities of all parties
hereunder shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect,
except for those obligations that expressly survive the termination hereof. If
Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph
18, or has no right to terminate this Agreement (because the damage or
destruction does not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) and has not
resulted in the termination of one or more of the Leases that together comprise
more than fifty thousand (50,000) rentable square feet), and the sale of the
Property is consummated, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive all insurance
proceeds paid or payable to Seller by reason of such destruction or damage under
the insurance required to be maintained by Seller pursuant to Paragraph 9(a)
hereof (less amounts of insurance theretofore received and applied by Seller to
costs actually incurred for restoration). Seller shall not settle or release any
damage or destruction claims without obtaining Purchaser's prior written consent
in each case. All said insurance proceeds received by Seller by the date of
Closing shall be paid by Seller to Purchaser at Closing, together with the
lesser of (i) that amount necessary to cover any difference between the amount
of such proceeds and the estimated cost of repair or replacement, or (ii) the
amount of the deductible under Seller's all-risk property damage insurance
policy. In addition, at Closing, Seller shall pay over to Purchaser, and assign
to Purchaser, all proceeds of any rent loss insurance for the period of time
commencing on the date of Closing. If the amount of said casualty or rent loss
insurance proceeds is not settled by the date of Closing, Seller shall execute
at Closing all proofs of loss, assignments of claim, and other similar
instruments in order that Purchaser receive all of Seller's right, title, and
interest in and under said insurance proceeds.

      19.   As Is Purchase: Indemnity; Release.

            (a)   Purchaser hereby acknowledges, represents, warrants, covenants
      and agrees that as a material inducement to Seller to execute and accept
      this Agreement and in consideration of the performance by Seller of its
      duties and obligations under this Agreement, the sale of the Property
      hereunder is and will be made on an "as is, where is" basis except as
      otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement including Paragraph 8, and
      that except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement including
      Paragraph 8 and all documents delivered to Purchaser at Closing, Seller
      has not made, does not make and specifically negates and disclaims any
      representations, warranties or guaranties of any kind or character
      whatsoever, whether express or implied, oral or written, past, present,
      future or otherwise, of, as to, concerning or with respect to the
      Property, including, without limitation: (1) the existence of hazardous
      materials upon the Property or any portion thereof; (2) geological

      makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such
      information except for representations and warranties and indemnities
      otherwise expressly provided in this agreement including Paragraph 8 and
      all documents delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Seller shall not be
      liable for any negligent misrepresentation or any failure to investigate

      written statements, representations, appraisals, environmental assessment
      reports, or other information pertaining to the Property or the operation
      thereof, furnished by Seller, or by any real estate broker, agent,

      provided in this Agreement including Paragraph 8 and all document
      delivered to Purchaser at Closing. It is acknowledged and agreed that the
      Property is sold by Seller and purchased by Purchaser subject to the
      foregoing.

                                       23
<PAGE>

            The Closing of the purchase of the Property by Purchaser hereunder
      shall be conclusive evidence that: (a) Purchaser has fully and completely
      inspected (or has caused to be fully and completely inspected) the
      Property; (b) Purchaser accepts the Property as being in good and
      satisfactory condition and suitable for Purchaser's purposes; and (c) the
      Property fully complies with Seller's covenants and obligations hereunder,
      except for any breach of representations and warranties and indemnities
      expressly provided in this Agreement including Paragraph 8.

            Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for
      reliance on representations and warranties and indemnities expressly
      provided in this Agreement including Paragraph 8 and all documents
      delivered to Purchaser at Closing. Purchaser shall perform and rely solely
      upon its own investigation concerning its intended use of the Property,
      and the Property's fitness therefor. Purchaser further acknowledges and
      agrees that Seller's cooperation with Purchaser whether by providing the
      Property documents or permitting inspection of the Property, shall not be
      construed as any warranty or representation, express or implied, of any
      kind with respect to the Property, or with respect to the accuracy,
      completeness, or relevance of the due diligence documents, provided that
      the foregoing shall not be a limitation or modification of the
      representations and warranties and indemnities expressly provided in this
      Agreement including Paragraph 8 all documents delivered to Purchaser at
      Closing.

            (b)   Indemnity. For the purposes of this Paragraph 19(b), the term
      "Claims" shall mean any and all claims, obligations, liabilities, causes
      of action, suits, debts, liens, damages, judgments, losses, demands,
      orders, penalties, settlements, costs and expenses (including, without
      limitation, attorneys' fees and any and all costs and expenses related to,
      whether directly or indirectly, any and all clean-up, remediation,
      investigations, monitoring, abatement, mitigation measures, fines or
      removal with respect to Hazardous Materials) of any kind or nature
      whatsoever. Each and every provision of this Paragraph 19(b) shall survive
      the Closing. Purchaser acknowledges that but for Purchaser's agreement to
      each and every provision of this Paragraph 19(b), Seller would not have
      entered into this Agreement. Purchaser, on behalf of itself, its
      successors, assigns and successors-in-interest ("Successors"), hereby
      agrees to indemnify, defend (with legal counsel selected by Seller) and
      hold Seller and its Successors harmless from any and all Claims resulting
      from, related to, or based upon, whether directly or indirectly: (i) the
      breach by Purchaser of any representation, warranty, covenant or
      obligation contained in this Agreement or in any other document delivered
      by Purchaser at Closing; and (ii) any Claim or Claims, if the basis of
      such Claim or Claims arose on or after the Closing Date except as noted in
      subparagraph (iv), and if the basis of such Claim or Claims arose from, is
      based upon, relates to or pertains to, directly or indirectly, the
      operation, management and use of the Property; (iii) any Claim or Claims
      which Claim or Claims (or the basis for which) arose from, is based upon,
      relates to or pertains to, directly or indirectly, any act or omission of
      Purchaser; and (iv) any Claim or Claims that relate to the condition of
      the Property or any defects therein, regardless of whether said condition
      or the cause of the same arose either before or after the Closing Date,
      including any judgment, order or settlement under or otherwise pursuant to
      the lawsuit. Each and every provision of this

                                       24
<PAGE>

      paragraph shall survive the Closing and but for Purchaser's agreement to
      each and every provision of this Paragraph 19(b), Seller would not have
      executed this Agreement.

            (c)   Release and Section 1542 Waiver. Except for Claims for
      Seller's breach of representations and warranties of Seller provided in
      this Agreement including Paragraph 8 and the Closing documents delivered
      to Purchaser at Closing, Purchaser for itself and on behalf of each of its
      Successors (collectively, the "Releasors") by this general release of
      known and unknown claims (this "Release") hereby irrevocably and
      unconditionally release and forever discharge Seller and each of its
      Successors (collectively, the "Releasees") or any of them, from and
      against any and all Claims of any kind or nature whatsoever, WHETHER KNOWN
      OR UNKNOWN, suspected or unsuspected, fixed or contingent, liquidated or
      unliquidated which any of the Releasors now have, own, hold, or claim to
      have had, owned, or held, against any of the Releasees arising from, based
      upon or related to, whether directly or indirectly any facts, matters,
      circumstances, conditions or defects (whether patent or latent) of all or
      any kinds, related to, arising from, or based upon, whether directly or
      indirectly, the Property, including without limitation the presence of
      Hazardous Materials in, on, about or under the Real Property or which have
      migrated from adjacent lands to the Real Property or from the Property to
      adjacent lands.

            Except for Claims for Seller's breach of representations and
      warranties of Seller provided in this Agreement including Paragraph 8 and
      representations and warranties in the documents delivered to Purchaser at
      Closing, Releasors hereby further agree as follows:

                        (i)   Releasors acknowledge that there is a risk that
            subsequent to the execution of the Release set forth herein,
            Releasors may discover, incur, or suffer from Claims which were
            unknown or unanticipated at the time this Release is executed,
            including, without limitation, unknown or unanticipated Claims
            which, if known by Releasors on the date this Release is being
            executed, may have materially affected Releasors' decision to
            execute this Release. Releasors acknowledge that Releasors are
            assuming the risk of such unknown and unanticipated Claims and agree
            that this Release applies thereto. Releasors expressly waive the
            benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which reads
            as follows:

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

                        (ii)  Releasors represent and warrant that Releasors
            have been represented by independent counsel of Releasors' own
            choosing in connection with the preparation and review of the
            Release set forth herein, that Releasors have specifically discussed
            with such counsel the meaning and effect of this Release and that
            Releasors have carefully read and understand the scope and

                                       25
<PAGE>

            effect of each provision contained herein. Releasors further
            represent and warrant that Releasors do not rely and have not relied
            upon any representation or statement made by any of the Releasees or
            any of their representatives, agents, employees, attorneys or
            officers with regard to the subject matter, basis or effect of this
            Release.

                        (iii) Releasors represent and warrant to Releasees that
            Releasors have not and shall not assign or transfer or purport to
            assign or transfer any Claim or Claims or any portion thereof or any
            interest therein, and agree to indemnify, defend, and hold the
            Releasees harmless from and against any Claim or Claims based on or
            arising out of, whether directly or indirectly, any such assignment
            or transfer, or purported assignment or transfer.

      20.   Assignment. This Agreement and Purchaser's rights, duties, and
obligations hereunder may not be delegated, transferred, or assigned by
Purchaser without the prior written consent of Seller, and any assignee or
transferee proposed by Purchaser shall expressly assume all of Purchaser's
duties, liabilities and obligations under this Agreement by written instrument
delivered to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, this
Agreement, and Purchaser's rights and duties hereunder, may be freely assigned
and transferred to an entity managed or controlled by Purchaser. In the event of
any such transfer or assignment, Seller shall look solely to such transferee or
assignee for the performance of all obligations, covenants, conditions, and
agreements imposed upon Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. For
purposes of this Paragraph 20, the term "control" shall mean a twenty percent
(20%) ownership in the applicable entity. Seller shall have the right to
transfer all or any portion of the Property to its constituent members and
principals prior to the Closing and such transferees of the Property shall take
the Property subject to the obligations of Seller under this Agreement.

      21.   Broker's Commission. Upon the Closing, and only in the event of
Closing, Seller shall pay to Grubb & Ellis ("Broker") in cash or its equivalent
a real estate sales commission pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller
and Broker. Broker does hereby agree that, in the event the sale contemplated
hereby is for any reason not consummated, then no commission shall have been
earned, and none shall be payable. Seller shall and does hereby indemnify and
hold harmless Purchaser from and against any claim, whether or not meritorious,
for any real estate sales commission, finder's fees, or like compensation in
connection with the sale contemplated hereby and arising out of any act or
agreement of Seller, including any claim asserted by Broker. Likewise, Purchaser
shall and does hereby indemnify and hold harmless Seller from and against any
claim, whether or not meritorious, for any real estate sales commission,
finder's fees, or like compensation in connection with the sale contemplated
hereby and arising out of any act or agreement of Purchaser, except any such
claim asserted by Broker. This Paragraph 21 shall survive the Closing or any
termination of this Agreement.

      22.   Notices. Wherever any notice or other communication is required or
permitted hereunder, such notice or other communication shall be in writing and
shall be delivered by overnight courier, by hand, facsimile transmission or sent

      25.   Survival of Provisions. All covenants, warranties, and agreements
set forth in this Agreement shall survive the execution or delivery of any and

to, or by reason of this Agreement, and shall survive the payment of all monies

time limitation provisions set forth in Paragraph 8 above.

      26.   Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in

by law.

      27.   Authorization. Purchaser represents to Seller that this Agreement
has been duly authorized and executed on behalf of Purchaser and constitutes the
valid and binding agreement of Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, and all necessary action on the part of Purchaser to authorize the
transactions herein contemplated has been taken, and no further action is
necessary for such purpose. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement
nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) be in
violation of Purchaser's Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement, (ii)
to the best of Purchaser's knowledge, conflict with or result in the breach or
violation of any law, regulation, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental instrumentality applicable to Purchaser, or (iii) constitute a
breach of any evidence of indebtedness or agreement to which Purchaser is a
party or by which Purchaser is bound.

      28.   General Provisions. No failure of either party to exercise any power
given hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance with any obligation
specified herein, and no custom or practice at variance with the terms hereof,
shall constitute a waiver of either party's right to demand exact compliance
with the terms hereof. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the
parties hereto, and no representations, inducements, promises, or agreements,
oral or otherwise, between the parties not embodied herein shall be of any force
or effect. Any amendment to this Agreement shall not be binding upon the parties
hereto unless such amendment is in writing and executed by all parties hereto.
The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
successors, and assigns. Time is of the essence of this Agreement. This
Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and
the same agreement. To facilitate the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
the parties may execute and exchange counterparts of the signature pages by
facsimile, and the signature page of either party to any counterpart may be
appended to any other counterpart. The headings inserted at the beginning of
each paragraph are for convenience only, and do not add to or subtract from the
meaning of the contents of each paragraph. The exhibits attached to this
Agreement are an integral part of this Agreement and are hereby incorporated
herein by this reference. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted
under the laws of the State of California. Except as otherwise provided herein,
all rights, powers, and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be
cumulative but not restrictive to those given by law. All personal pronouns used
in this Agreement, whether used in

                                       28
<PAGE>

the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall include all genders, and all
references herein to the singular shall include the plural and vice versa.

      29.   Effective Date. The "effective date" of this Agreement shall be
deemed to be the date this Agreement is fully executed by both Purchaser and
Seller and both Purchaser and Seller have received a fully executed original
counterpart of this Agreement.

      30.   Tax-Deferred Exchange. Each party, including each of the Co-Tenants,
agrees to reasonably cooperate with the other party should a party elect to
purchase or sell (as applicable) the Property or any portion thereof as part of
a like-kind exchange under Internal Revenue Code Section 1031. Such cooperation
may include consenting to the assignment of all or a portion of this Agreement
to a third party qualified intermediary or exchange accommodation titleholder
("EAT") or consenting to the substitution of such third party intermediary or
EAT acting as the Purchaser or Seller, as applicable, and the execution of such
documents as may be reasonably necessary to complete the exchange in accordance
with applicable laws and regulations, provided that no such assignment to or
substitution of an intermediary shall relieve the party to the Agreement seeking
to effect such exchange of its obligations and liabilities under this Agreement.
Buyer and Seller agree that the consummation of the Closing is not predicated or
conditioned upon the completion of such an exchange and such an exchange shall
not delay the Closing. No party shall incur any additional liability or
financial obligation as a consequence of the other's contemplated exchange and
the cooperating party shall not be required to take title to any property other
than the Property in connection with the other party's consummation of such
exchange. Seller is in the process of transferring the Property to its
constituent members and at Seller's request at any time prior to the Closing
Date, Purchaser shall execute an amended and restated Agreement for the Purchase
and Sale of the Property that reflects a revised ownership of the Property. Each
and every provision and condition of this Paragraph shall survive the Closing.

      31.   Property Distribution. SF III-Broadway, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, KCI-Broadway, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company,
SDM-Broadway, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Belmont-Broadway, LLC,
a Delaware limited liability company, Scott-Seldin-Broadway, LLC, a Delaware
limited liability company, Italian Pavillions-Broadway, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company, and Kasun-Broadway, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company
(each a "Co-Tenant", and together with 400 West Broadway, LLC, the
"Co-Tenants"), are parties to this Agreement because (i) Seller is in the
process of distributing an undivided interest to each of the Co-Tenants, as set
forth in Section 20 hereof, and (ii) to the extent, prior to the Closing, each
Co-Tenant actually receives an interest in the Property in accordance with such
distribution, such Co-Tenant will be a record owner of the Property together
with 400 West Broadway, LLC (with respect to any retained interest in the
Property). Therefore:

            (a)   all references to Seller in this Agreement is also a reference
      to the Co-Tenants (to the extent a Co-Tenant actually receives an interest
      in the Property), individually and collectively, with respect to their
      undivided interest in the Property;

                                       29
<PAGE>

            (b)   nothing in this Agreement shall bar or otherwise prohibit 400
      West Broadway, LLC, from completing a distribution of the Property to the
      Co-Tenants or any of them;

            (c)   a distribution of the Property to each of the Co-Tenants and
      the definition of Seller as set forth herein (specifically, the inclusion
      of each of the Co-Tenants as a Seller) shall not alter, modify or affect
      in any way any of the obligations, covenants, representations or
      warranties of Purchaser; and

            (d)   each and every obligation of 400 West Broadway, LLC is also an
