The building, about 53,000 square feet in size, is intended to serve as corporate offices and the facility for Silicon Valley operations. The purchase price is approximately $7.5 million. The purchase price will be paid either by the assumption of existing debt or by the funding of the defeasance of the property from the existing debt. Under the agreement, $500,000 is to be deposited into escrow, which amount will constitute liquidated damages in the event of a breach of contract by the Company. The agreement provides for an inspection period of 60 days from the date of execution, during which the Company may evaluate the property. The Company may terminate the agreement during the inspection period and cause the deposit to be returned. The transaction is expected to close in July 2007. Kenneth D.
