ITEM 2 - Disposition of Assets
Martin Sunnyvale Research and Development Center, Sunnyvale, California
Disposition Date - May 29, 1998
On May 29, 1998, Paine Webber Qualified Plan Property Fund Four, LP (the
"Partnership") sold its wholly-owned investment property, the Martin Sunnyvale
Research and Development Center, located in Sunnyvale, California, to an
unrelated third party for $5,125,000. After closing costs, expense prorations
and adjustments, the Partnership realized net proceeds of approximately
$4,938,000. As a result of the sale of the Martin Sunnyvale Research and
Development Center, a Special Distribution will be made on June 15, 1998 to unit
holders of record as of May 29, 1998. The Special Distribution will include the
net proceeds from the sale of the Martin Sunnyvale Research and Development
Center in the amount of $109 per original $1,000 investment, or $5.45 per
original $50 unit.
As previously reported, during fiscal 1997 the Partnership had contracted
with a national real estate firm with a strong background in selling R&D
buildings in the Silicon Valley area to market the Martin Sunnyvale property for
sale. As a result of these marketing efforts, the Partnership received several
offers from qualified third-party buyers to acquire the property. After
reviewing the offers, the Partnership accepted an offer from one of these
potential buyers and negotiated and executed a purchase and sale agreement
during the first quarter of fiscal 1998. The sale remained subject to the
satisfactory completion of the buyer's due diligence which was scheduled to be
completed in December 1997. At the conclusion of the buyer's due diligence
period, the offer to purchase the property was withdrawn. In early 1998, the
Partnership and its marketing agent decided to refocus attention on a select
group of potential investors that had expressed previous interest in acquiring
the property. These potential buyers were contacted which resulted in the
receipt of two written offers. Subsequently, one of these offers was selected
and negotiations on a purchase and sale agreement were successfully completed. A
purchase and sale agreement was executed by the Partnership and the eventual
buyer on March 11, 1998. The Partnership granted the eventual buyer several
extensions of the due diligence period in return for certain non-refundable
deposits prior to the final closing of the transaction on May 29, 1998.
Subsequent to the sale of the Martin Sunnyvale property, the Partnership's
only remaining real estate asset is the wholly-owned Bell Forge Square Shopping
Center. As discussed further in the Partnership's most recent quarterly report
on Form 10-Q, this property is in the process of being actively marketed with a
goal of completing a sale and a liquidation of the Partnership prior to the end
of calendar 1998. There are no assurances, however, that the sale of the
remaining asset and the liquidation of the Partnership will be completed within
this time frame.

PURCHASE AND SALE
2.1 In consideration of the undertakings and mutual covenants of the
parties set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the Seller hereby agrees to sell and convey the Property to the
Buyer or its nominee and the Buyer hereby agrees to buy and pay the Purchase
Price for the Property on the terms and conditions contained herein.
ARTICLE ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS;
PURCHASE PRICE; DEPOSIT; ADJUSTMENTS
3.1 The Purchase Price shall be as specified in Article 1 above and shall
be paid on the Escrow Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) by wire transfer of
immediately available federal funds, subject to adjustment to reflect
application of the Escrowed Amount and such other adjustments herein contained.
3.2 Within two (2) business days after the execution of this Agreement
upon the "Opening of Escrow" (as hereinafter defined), the Buyer shall deposit
with the Escrow Holder the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) to be
held in an interest bearing account (together with any earned interest the
"Escrowed Amount") to secure the Buyer's obligations under this Agreement.
3.3 Within two (2) business days following the execution of this
Agreement, the parties shall open escrow with Escrow Holder (the "Opening of
Escrow"). This Agreement, when deposited with Escrow Holder, shall constitute
Escrow Holder's escrow instructions. The parties shall execute such further
instructions as Escrow Holder may require in order to clarify its duties and
responsibilities. The escrow instructions shall not modify or amend the
provisions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement unless otherwise expressly set
forth therein. Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half of the escrow fees,
unless one party defaults, in which case, the defaulting party shall pay all of
the escrow fees.
3.4 All real estate taxes, assessments, special taxes, special assessments
and any other tax or assessment attributable to the Property through the Escrow
Closing Date shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Escrow Closing Date unless
such items are paid directly by tenants to the applicable taxing authority, in
which case no adjustment or proration shall be made for the items paid directly
by the tenants. If the tax statements for the fiscal year during which the
Escrow Closing Date occurs are not finally determined, then the tax figures for
the immediately prior fiscal year shall be used for the purposes of prorating
taxes on the Escrow Closing Date, with a further adjustment to be made after the
Escrow Closing Date as soon as the tax figures are finalized. Any tax refunds or
proceeds (including interest thereon) on account of a favorable determination
resulting from a challenge, protest, appeal or similar proceeding relating to
taxes and assessments relating to the Property (i) for all tax periods occurring
prior to the applicable tax period in which the Close of Escrow occurs shall be
retained by and paid exclusively to Seller and (ii) for the applicable tax
period in which the Close of Escrow occurs shall be prorated as of the Escrow
Closing Date after reimbursement to Seller and Buyer, as applicable, for all
fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' and consultants' fees)
incurred by Seller or Buyer, as applicable, in connection with such proceedings
such that Seller shall retain and be paid that portion of such tax refunds or
proceeds as is applicable to the portion of the applicable tax period prior to
the Escrow Closing Date and Buyer shall retain and be paid that portion of such
tax refunds or proceeds as is applicable to the portion of the applicable tax
period from and after the Escrow Closing Date. Neither Seller nor Buyer shall
settle any tax protests or proceedings in which taxes for the tax period for
which the other party is responsible are being adjudicated without the consent
of such party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate in pursuit of any such proceedings and
in responding to reasonable requests of the other for information concerning the
status of and otherwise relating to such proceedings; provided, however, that
neither party shall be obligated to incur any out-of-pocket fees, costs or
expenses in responding to the requests of the other. In no event shall any such
proceeding be commenced by Seller following the Escrow Closing Date without
Buyer's prior written consent; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled
to continue its existing proceeding.
3.5 Prepaid or past due amounts under any Contracts (as hereinafter
defined) which are assigned to Buyer at Close of Escrow shall be prorated and
adjusted as of the Escrow Closing Date.
3.6 The Seller shall cause all meters for electricity, gas, water, sewer
or other utility usage at the Property to be read on the Escrow Closing Date,
and the Seller shall pay all charges for such utilities which have accrued on or
prior to the Escrow Closing Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent
such charges are paid directly by tenants, no such reading or payment shall be
required. If the utility companies are unable or refuse to read meters for which
payment by the Seller is required, all charges for such utilities to the extent
unpaid shall be prorated and adjusted as of the Escrow Closing Date based on the
most recent bills therefor. The Seller shall provide notice to the Buyer within
five (5) days of the Escrow Closing Date setting forth (i) whether utility
meters will be read as of the Escrow Closing Date and (ii) a copy of the most
recent bill for any utility charges which are to be prorated and adjusted as of
the Escrow Closing Date. If the meters cannot be read as of the Escrow Closing
Date and, therefore, the most recent bill is used to prorate and adjust as of
the Escrow Closing Date, then to the extent that the amount of such prior bill
proves to be more or less than the actual charges for the period in question, a
further adjustment shall be made after the Escrow Closing Date as soon as the
actual charges for such utilities are available.
3.7 Collected rents for the then current period; security deposits which
have not been previously applied by Seller, to the extent in Seller's
possession; prepaid rentals; collected or prepaid common area maintenance
charges; collected or prepaid promotional charges; collected or prepaid service
charges; collected or prepaid tax charges, and all other collected or prepaid
incidental expenses and charges paid by tenants shall be apportioned and full
value shall be adjusted as of the Escrow Closing Date, and the net amount
thereof, if in favor of Seller, shall be credited to Seller at Closing of
Escrow, or if in favor of Buyer, shall be credited to Buyer at Close of Escrow.
From and after Close of Escrow all security deposits credited to Buyer shall
thereafter be transferred to Buyer and Buyer shall assume and be solely
responsible for the payments of security deposits (to the extent which Buyer was
credited therefor at Close of Escrow) to tenants in accordance with the Leases
and applicable law. Seller shall be entitled to retain and/or receive a credit
for any utility deposits and any deposits for third parties under any of the
Contracts (as hereinafter defined).
3.7.1 All rentals and other tenant charges payable in arrears and
uncollected and all other uncollected rents (including, but not limited
to, percentage rents, common area maintenance charges and real estate tax
charge annual adjustments thereto) for the current and prior rental
periods, less the reasonable expenses of collection thereof, shall be
apportioned (if and when collected by either party); provided, however,
that Buyer shall proceed in a commercially reasonable manner consistent
with Buyer's customary practice for tenants owing past due rent to it to
collect such uncollected rents from existing tenants listed on the rent
roll; provided that Buyer shall not be obligated to commence suit against
any Tenant and Buyer shall first apply rents subsequently received to rent
due and owing for rental periods accruing after the Escrow Closing Date.
Buyer shall not settle or release (i) Tenants from any obligations for
such uncollected rents or (ii) rights under any claims listed in Section
3.7.2 below, in each case, without Seller's prior written approval. Buyer
shall provide Seller with written evidence of its collection efforts, such
evidence shall include, but not be limited to providing copies of letters
and invoices to tenants, copies of reports regarding follow-up efforts and
cash receipts and aged delinquency reports. Buyer shall provide such
written evidence of its collection efforts within fifteen (15) days of
demand therefor provided that Seller may request such evidence no more
than on a quarterly basis. Seller shall agree not to commence suit against
tenants listed on the rent roll for obligations owed to it unless Buyer
fails to fulfill its obligations under this Section 3.7.1.
3.7.2 Subject to Section 6.6 below, Seller shall retain all rights
to all refunds, receivables, past due rent and claims, including, but not
limited to, termination fees or damages from all former tenants or
occupants of the Property which are not listed on the Rent Roll, causes of
action and rights of reimbursement from third parties, bonds, accounts
receivable and any other claims for payments Seller may have to the extent
arising or relating to the period prior to the Close of Escrow.
3.7.3 In the event, on the Escrow Closing Date, the precise figures
necessary for any of the foregoing adjustments are not capable of
determination, then, at Buyer's option, those adjustments shall be made
either (i) on the basis of good faith estimates of Seller and Buyer using
currently available information, and final adjustments shall be made
promptly after precise figures are determined or available or (ii) when
all information for all final adjustments are determined or available.
3.8 At the Close of Escrow, the Seller shall pay the amount due for (a)
any state or county transfer tax (or any tax substituted therefor, i.e. the
documentary transfer tax) imposed in connection with the consummation of the
transaction contemplated hereby (the "Transfer Tax"); (b) recording charges to
record any documents to clear title; (c) all title insurance charges to provide
Buyer with a Title Commitment as hereinafter defined; (d) Seller's attorneys'
fees; and (e) all leasing commissions due or to become due pursuant to any lease
of any part of the Property or any renewal or extension right thereof in
existence on the date hereof whether or not exercised.
3.9 At the Close of Escrow, the Buyer shall pay for (a) any local tax or
mortgage tax other than the Transfer Tax; (b) recording charges to record the
grant deed; (c) survey charges; (d) any and all title insurance premiums and
charges including but not limited to charges for any extended coverage or title
endorsements; and (e) Buyer's attorney's fees and all costs related to the
Buyer's due diligence.
3.10 The provisions of this Article 3 shall survive the Close of Escrow.
ARTICLE 3
PRECLOSING OPERATION
A Rent Roll certified by Seller (the "Rent Roll") containing a list
of all current occupants of the Property is attached hereto as Schedule C. The
leases listed on the Rent Roll, together with leases entered into pursuant to
this Article 4 are collectively referred to herein as the "Leases."
Seller shall not, after the date hereof; (i) enter into any new
Leases or materially amend or terminate any existing Leases, (ii) enter into or
modify any service contracts, operating agreements, or easement agreements,
(iii) alter the zoning classification of the Property (iv) materially alter any
Improvements, or (v) terminate any operating permits without the written consent
of Buyer in any such instance, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. If Buyer does not notify Seller in writing of its consent within
five (5) days after written notice thereof from Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to
have denied its consent to such requested action. Buyer shall specify its
reasons for denying consent upon request of Seller.
At all times prior to Close of Escrow, Seller shall continue (a) to
conduct business with respect to the Property in the same manner in which said
business has been heretofore conducted and (b) to insure the Property
substantially as currently insured.
Seller shall within five (5) days after the execution of this
Agreement provide copies to Buyer of all service, supply, equipment rental,
management and leasing contracts (collectively, the "Contracts") affecting the
Property which Seller has in its possession and shall promptly instruct the
third party property manager to make all such Contracts available to Buyer for
its review. Buyer shall, by written notice to Seller, on or before the
expiration of the Inspection Period identify any Contracts which it elects to
have assigned to it and therefore will assume. Buyer shall be deemed to have
elected not to assume any Contracts which are not identified as to be assigned
and assumed. Seller shall terminate any Contracts at Close of Escrow which are
not identified by Buyer as specified in this Section as to be assigned and
assumed at Close of Escrow.
Seller shall use diligent efforts to obtain tenant estoppel
certificates for each Tenant of the building on the Property on or before five
(5) days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. The tenant estoppel
certificates shall be in the form attached hereto as Schedule D. Seller's
failure to provide tenant estoppel certificates shall not constitute a default
under this Agreement. If Seller fails to provide the tenant estoppel
certificates within the time period set forth, Buyer's sole remedy will be to
elect not to proceed with the transaction by giving written notice before the
expiration of the Inspection Period. Upon such notice the Escrowed Amount shall
be returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be terminated without further
recourse (except to the extent such recourse arises in connection with a
provision of this Agreement which is intended to survive termination). If no
written notice is received by Seller by the expiration of the Inspection Period,
the Escrowed Amount shall be non-refundable for any reason and shall be
liquidated damages as set forth in Section 10.2.
ARTICLE 4
ACCESS, INSPECTION, DILIGENCE
Buyer may, during the "Inspection Period" as hereafter defined,
inspect the Property, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, including without
limitation, the physical and environmental condition of the Property, the
operations and financial condition of the Property, environmental remediation
insurance (if any), and the transferability of any relevant environmental
permits, indemnifications, or covenants. Buyer may not conduct destructive or
invasive testing, drilling or boring. Buyer's inspection rights shall include
access, upon Seller's written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld,
and in each case Buyer must be accompanied by a representative of Seller, to all
of Seller's personnel, agents, engineers, brokers, property managers, tenants,
vendors, consultants and contractors familiar with the Property. Such
representatives will be made reasonably available with at least 24 hours advance
written notice by the Buyer.
Seller shall make available to Buyer for Buyer's review and
inspection, and in each case to the extent the materials are in the Seller's
possession or control, copies of all leases, contracts, agreements, data,
information, reports (including environmental, structural, engineering and soils
reports), title surveys, plans and specifications, certificates of occupancy,
operating statements for the month of the date hereof and the last three
year-ends, itemized capital expenditures over the past thirty-six months,
licenses, permits, applications, authorizations, approvals, parking covenants
and easements, insurance policies and claims history, guaranties, warranties,
governmental agency orders, certificates of insurance, past, pending and
potential insurance and other third party claims (both by and against Seller)
and litigation document relating to the Property and its operation. In addition,
Seller shall provide all relevant information regarding its liability for the
environmental contaminants, including, but not withstanding, all correspondence
between the Regional Water Quality Control Board and the Seller, as well as all
correspondence by Eaton Corporation and Signetics Corporation regarding the
environmental liabilities, indemnifications, or covenants by the two
aforementioned corporations. Buyer may make copies of the above at Buyer's sole
cost and expense. Seller shall cause the property manager to provide Buyer with
a complete and accurate rent roll for the Property which shall include the
following information, as of the last full month preceding this Agreement: the
names of all tenants and their corresponding suite number, the term of all
leases, rental amounts including prepaid rents, delinquent rents, extension
options, security and other deposits, rent concessions, and tenant improvement
allowances, if any.
Seller makes no representation or warranty whatsoever regarding the
existence or availability of the foregoing and Seller shall not be obligated to
create or obtain any of the foregoing which are not in existence and available
to Seller. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, any and all information, documents, surveys, studies and reports
provided to Buyer are provided for informational purposes only and do not
constitute representations or warranties of Seller of any kind.
The Buyer shall have the right to promptly commence and actively pursue its
due diligence on the Property as provided for in Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above.
Buyer shall complete its due diligence no later than thirty (30) days from the
date of this Agreement (the "Inspection Period"). In the event that Buyer's due
diligence shall reveal any matters which are not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer's
sole and absolute discretion for any reason or for no reason, Buyer may elect,
by written notice to Seller, received by Seller on or before expiration of the
Inspection Period, not to proceed with this purchase, in which event this
Agreement shall terminate, the Escrowed Amount shall be returned to the Buyer
and this Agreement shall be null and void without recourse to either party
hereto (except to the extent such recourse arises in connection with a provision
of this Agreement which is intended to survive termination). In the event Buyer
does not terminate this Agreement on or before the expiration of the Inspection
Period, the Escrowed Amount shall become nonrefundable for any reason and shall
be liquidated damages as set forth in Section 10.2.
Buyer acknowledges that it will have had an opportunity to conduct
diligence on the Property and will acquire the Property in its current condition
based on its diligence. Buyer further acknowledges that neither Seller nor its
employees, agents or representatives have made any representation or warranty as
to the condition of the Property or the presence or absence of any hazardous
materials on, in, under or within the Property or a portion thereof which
survive Close of Escrow hereunder except as expressly provided in this
Agreement. Seller has disclosed, and Buyer acknowledges disclosure of, Seller's
knowledge regarding the release of hazardous substances on the Property that is
subject to California Regional Water Quality Control Board Site Clean Up
Requirements Order No. 95-210 dated October 18, 1995 (the "Order"). THE BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE PROPERTY IS TO BE CONVEYED BY THE SELLER TO THE
BUYER "AS IS," "WITH ALL FAULTS," AND SUBSTANTIALLY IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION.
THE BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY CONTAINED IN
THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER THE SELLER NOR ANY AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SELLER (OR PURPORTED AGENT, EMPLOYEE OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVE OF THE SELLER) HAS MADE ANY GUARANTEE, REPRESENTATION OR
WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (AND THE SELLER SHALL NOT HAVE ANY LIABILITY
WHATSOEVER) AS TO THE VALUE, USES, HABITABILITY, CONDITION, DESIGN, OPERATION,
FINANCIAL CONDITION OR PROSPECTS, OR FITNESS FOR PURPOSE OR USE OF THE PROPERTY
(OR ANY PART THEREOF) OR THE PROPERTY INFORMATION NOT PREPARED BY SELLER, OR ANY
OTHER GUARANTEE, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
RESPECT TO ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY (OR ANY PART THEREOF) OR THE PROPERTY
INFORMATION NOT PREPARED BY SELLER EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN.
FURTHER, THE SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY LATENT, HIDDEN, OR PATENT
DEFECT AS TO THE PROPERTY OR THE FAILURE OF THE PROPERTY, OR ANY PART THEREOF,
TO COMPLY WITH ANY APPLICABLE LAWS AND REGULATIONS. IN PARTICULAR, THE BUYER
ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE "PROPERTY INFORMATION" PROVIDED UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT WHICH WAS NOT PREPARED BY SELLER (AND ANY OTHER INFORMATION THE BUYER
MAY HAVE OBTAINED REGARDING IN ANY WAY ANY OF THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, ITS OPERATIONS OR ITS FINANCIAL HISTORY OR PROSPECTS FROM THE SELLER
OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVES BUT NOT INCLUDING INFORMATION
PREPARED BY SELLER) IS DELIVERED TO THE BUYER AS A COURTESY, WITHOUT
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO ITS ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS (EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT), AND NOT AS AN INDUCEMENT TO ACQUIRE THE
PROPERTY; THAT NOTHING CONTAINED IN SUCH DELIVERIES SHALL CONSTITUTE OR BE
DEEMED TO BE A GUARANTEE, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN ANY
REGARD AS TO ANY OF THE PROPERTY (EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT); AND THAT THE BUYER IS RELYING ONLY UPON THE PROVISIONS OF THIS
AGREEMENT AND ITS OWN INDEPENDENT ASSESSMENT OF THE PROPERTY AND ITS PROSPECTS
IN DETERMINING WHETHER TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY EXCEPT THAT BUYER SHALL BE
ENTITLED TO RELY ON THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Close of Escrow.
Buyer shall provide Seller with a copy of the Buyer's financial
statements over the past three years before the expiration of the Inspection
Period. Seller shall have the right to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement
before the expiration of the Inspection Period if the Seller is not satisfied.
The provision of such information shall not be deemed to be an acknowledgment on
the part of either such entity to undertake or be liable for any obligation
under this Agreement.
If this Agreement is terminated for any reason whatsoever, Buyer
shall promptly deliver to Seller all documents, plans, surveys, contracts,
Leases and the like delivered to Buyer or Buyer's agents, representatives or
designees by Seller or Seller's agents, representatives or employees pursuant to
this Agreement. In addition, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of
all materials obtained from third parties in connection with Buyer's diligence
if Seller is willing to reimburse Buyer for bona fide third-party out-of-pocket
costs and expenses actually incurred in the preparation of such materials. The
return of the Escrowed Amount to Buyer under this Agreement shall be contingent
upon Buyer's fulfillment of the obligations under this Section 5.5. Buyer's
obligations under this Section 5.5 shall be deemed fulfilled if Buyer returns
all documents, plans, surveys, contracts, Leases, materials and the like as
provided in this Section 5.5 and provides a certificate certifying that all such
materials have been returned.
Each party hereto agrees to maintain in confidence, and not to
discuss with or to disclose to any person or entity who is not a party to this
Agreement, any material term of this Agreement or any aspect of the transactions
contemplated hereby, except as provided in this Section. Seller may publicly
disclose the existence of this Agreement provided that the identity of Buyer and
the Purchase Price is not disclosed. Buyer shall not disclose to anyone other
than its partners and financiers any information disclosed by Seller to Buyer
which is not generally known by the public regarding Seller's operations and/or
the Property. Each party hereto may discuss with and disclose to its
accountants, attorneys, existing or prospective lenders, investment bankers,
underwriters, rating agencies, partners, consultants and other advisors to the
extent such parties reasonably need to know such information and are bound by a
confidentiality obligation identical in all material respects to the one created
by this Section. Additionally, each party may discuss and disclose such matters
to the extent necessary to comply with any requirements of the SEC or in order
to comply with any law or interpretation thereof or court order. This provision
shall survive termination of this Agreement but shall terminate upon Close of
Escrow. Buyer and Seller do not contemplate issuing a press release until after
the expiration of the Inspection Period and Title Response Period. Any press
release to be made regarding any matter which is the subject of the
confidentiality obligation created in this Section shall be subject to the
reasonable approval of Buyer and the Seller, respectively both as to timing and
content.
If any inspection or test conducted by or on behalf of Buyer
disturbs any of the Property, Buyer will restore the Property to substantially
the same condition as existed prior to any such inspection or test. Buyer shall
keep the Property free and clear of any liens and will indemnify, defend, and
hold Seller harmless from all losses, costs and damages including reasonable
attorneys' fees incurred by Seller as a result of such entry or investigation by
or on behalf of Buyer other than loss, cost or damage which is discovered (and
not caused) by such investigation as a result of pre-existing conditions. This
indemnity obligation of Buyer shall survive the termination of this Agreement
for any reason. Buyer shall obtain, or arrange for its inspecting consultant to
obtain, and keep in force, a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance
(including coverage for bodily injury and property damage) on an occurrence
basis with a combined single limit of $1,000,000, naming Seller as an additional
insured. Buyer shall deliver evidence of such insurance to Seller prior to the
conduct of Buyer's investigations under Section 5.1.
Seller's obligation to sell the Property shall be contingent upon,
(i) the execution of a joint letter, substantially in the form of Schedule E
requesting (a) that the Regional Water Quality Control Board substitute Buyer
for Seller as a "secondarily liable party" or so-called "secondary discharger"
on the Order (the "Substitution") upon the Close of Escrow, (b) that the
Regional Water Quality Control Board staff prepare an amendment to the Order
providing for the Substitution and allow the Buyer and Seller to review and
approve the amendment before the Escrow Closing Date, and (c) that the
Substitution not be effective until Close of Escrow, (the "Substitution Letter")
and (ii) the submission of the executed Substitution Letter, along with any
other documents, applications or fees required, to the Regional Water Quality
Control Board on the first business day following the expiration of the
Inspection Period. Seller and Buyer agree to appear before the Regional Water
Quality Control Board in connection with the Substitution Letter if required to
do so. Buyer will execute any license or access agreements with Eaton
Corporation and Signetics Corporation, if required by the Regional Water Quality
Control Board in order to effectuate the Substitution. Buyer and Seller will
cooperate fully and use their best efforts to effectuate the Substitution. The
obligations under this Section shall survive the Close of Escrow.
ARTICLE 5
TITLE, SURVEY, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND ASSIGNMENT OF CLAIMS
Within five (5) days of the execution of this Agreement, Seller
shall provide Buyer with copies of the most recent survey of the Real Property
in Seller's possession, if any. Promptly following the execution of this
Agreement, Buyer shall obtain, at Seller's sole cost and expense, a commitment
for an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance (the "Title Commitment"). Promptly
following the execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall obtain, at Buyer's sole
cost and expense, an ALTA as-built survey of the Real Property (the "Survey").
If (i) any matter disclosed on the Survey or (ii) matters listed as
exceptions in the Title Commitment are not each satisfactory to Buyer, it shall,
on or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, provide Seller with
written notice of such objections (the "Objection Notice") and if Seller is
unable or unwilling to cure such objections within five (5) days after the date
the Objection Notice is received (the "Title Response Period"), Buyer's sole
remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller
on or before the expiration of the Title Response Period, in which event this
Agreement will terminate, the Escrowed Amount shall be returned to Buyer and
this Agreement shall be null and void without recourse to either party hereto
(except to the extent such recourse arises in connection with a provision of
this Agreement which is intended to survive termination). Buyer may not object
to any exceptions for tenant's rights. Seller shall not be obligated to cure any
objections except Seller shall be obligated to cure, obtain title coverage over
or bond over all objections constituting mortgages, other voluntary encumbrances
securing the repayment of money or other monetary liens, on or before the Escrow
Closing Date, provided, however, that nothing herein shall obligate Seller to
cure, obtain title coverage over or bond over monetary liens (other than
mortgages or voluntary encumbrances securing the repayment of money) in any
amount in excess of $10,000. To enable Seller to convey, Seller may, at the
Close of Escrow use the Purchase Price or any portion thereof to clear title;
provided, that all instruments to clear title are either recorded simultaneously
with the delivery of the deed or arrangements satisfactory to the Escrow Holder
have been made for the delivery of such instruments.
On the Escrow Closing Date, the Seller shall convey by good and
sufficient grant deed to the Buyer or to the Buyer's nominee, good and clear
record and marketable fee simple title to all of the Real Property and the
Improvements free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, conditions, easements,
assessments, restrictions and other conditions, except for the following:
(a) The lien, if any, for real estate taxes not yet due and
payable;
(b) All matters listed on the Title Commitment and Survey which (i) have
not been objected to and (ii) Seller is not obligated to cure and/or Seller has
not agreed to cure, pursuant to Section 6.1 above;
(c) All Leases disclosed to Buyer in writing prior to the expiration of
the Inspection Period;
(d) All zoning, building and other laws applicable to the Property; and
(e) All matters which arise after the effective date of the Title
Commitment which are agreed upon or consented to by Buyer in writing.
At the Close of Escrow, the Seller shall assign without recourse the
Leases, Contracts which are not to be terminated and warranties, if any, to
Buyer and Buyer shall assume Seller's obligations thereunder from and after the
date of Close of Escrow and Seller shall convey the Personal Property to the
Buyer by quitclaim bill of sale.

Each representation and warranty contained in this Section 6.4.1 is
subject to being updated by Seller in writing on or before the expiration of the

The obligations of the Buyer and Seller to consummate the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the representations
and warranties made by the other party to this Agreement being true and correct
in all material respects on and as of the Escrow Closing Date with the same
force and effect as though such representations and warranties had been made as

owners, governmental agencies, and any and all third parties regarding
environmental conditions at, or related to, the Property ("Seller Claims").

CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION

substantially restored to the condition immediately prior to such casualty
before the Escrow Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the following elections:
(a) to purchase the Property in its then condition and pay the Purchase

in the process of being taken by exercise of the power of eminent domain or if

(each an "Eminent Domain Taking"), the Seller shall give notice promptly to the
Buyer of such event and the Buyer shall have the option to terminate this
Agreement by providing notice to the Seller to such effect on or before the date

Domain Taking or on the Escrow Closing Date, whichever occurs first, in which
event the Escrow Holder shall return the Escrowed Amount to the Buyer, this
Agreement shall terminate, and neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall have any
recourse against the other. If the Buyer does not timely notify the Seller of
its election to terminate this Agreement, the Buyer shall purchase the Property

on delivery of the deed all awards recovered or recoverable by the Seller on
account of such Eminent Domain Taking, less any amounts reasonably expended by
the Seller in obtaining such award.
ARTICLE 8

The Buyer represents and warrants to the Seller that the Buyer has not
dealt with, and is not obligated to pay, any fees or commissions to any broker
in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Seller
represents and warrants to Buyer that Seller has not used or employed any broker
or brokers in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this
transaction, other than Scott Mathisen and Doug Yoder of CB Commercial
("Seller's Agent"), and no finder's fee is payable in connection with this
transaction. Buyer and Seller each hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold
the other harmless from and against any and all loss, costs, claims and expenses

by the Seller but shall be payable only if the transactions contemplated herein
are consummated.
ARTICLE 9
DEFAULT, TERMINATION AND REMEDIES
In the event that Seller shall have failed in any material respect
adverse to the Buyer on the Escrow Closing Date to have performed or has
otherwise breached any of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Agreement which are to be performed by the Seller on or before the Escrow
Closing Date, the Buyer shall have the following remedies, (i) the right to take
any and all legal actions necessary to compel the Seller's specific performance
hereunder (it being acknowledged that damages at law would be an inadequate
remedy), and to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement (such conveyance shall be
deemed to satisfy and waive any other remedy) or (ii) the right to terminate
this Agreement and receive the Escrowed Amount whereupon this Agreement shall
terminate without further recourse.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, IF BUYER HAS NOT TERMINATED THIS AGREEMENT ON OR BEFORE THE
EXPIRATION OF THE INSPECTION PERIOD OR THE EXPIRATION OF THE TITLE RESPONSE
PERIOD, AND IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO
BUYER'S DEFAULT UNDER THE AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE
ESCROWED AMOUNT AS SELLER'S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS ITS SOLE REMEDY. THE PARTIES
AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE
ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER'S DEFAULT UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENTS A
REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH
BUYER'S DEFAULT AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE INSPECTION PERIOD, THE EXTENDED
INSPECTION PERIOD, OR THE TITLE RESPONSE PERIOD, AS THE CASE MAY BE, PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, THAT THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLER'S RIGHTS AND
BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTIONS 5.7 AND 6.6 AND ARTICLE 9 OF THIS AGREEMENT.
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 SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677.
SELLER'S INITIALS /S/ RMD BUYER'S INITIALS __________________
As material consideration to each party's agreement to the
liquidated damages provisions stated in Section 10.2, each party hereby agrees
to waive any and all rights whatsoever to contest the validity of the liquidated
damage provisions for any reason whatsoever, including, but not limited to, that
such provision was unreasonable under circumstances existing at the time this
Agreement was made.
ARTICLE 11

otherwise.
The captions used in connection with the Articles of this Agreement
are for convenience only and shall not be deemed to extend, limit or otherwise
define or construe the meaning of the language of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to confer
upon any person, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors
and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
This Agreement may be amended only by a written instrument executed
by the Seller and the Buyer (or Buyer's assignee or transferee).
This Agreement embodies the entire agreement between the Seller and
the Buyer with respect to the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, and
there have been and are no covenants, representations, warranties or
restrictions between the Seller and the Buyer with regard thereto other than
those set forth or provided for in this Agreement. Any prior agreements are
hereby terminated and superseded by this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be construed under and in accordance with the
laws of the State of California.
This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each
of which shall be an original but such counterparts together shall constitute
one and the same instrument notwithstanding that both the Buyer and Seller are
not signatory to the same counterpart.
The Escrow Holder has executed this Agreement only for the purpose
of agreeing to perform the duties assigned to it under this Agreement. The
Escrow Holder shall deposit the Escrowed Amount in an interest bearing account.
From the Opening of Escrow the Escrow Holder shall, upon receiving a copy of a
notice given by a party in accordance with this Agreement claiming entitlement
to all or a portion of the Escrowed Amount, give a notice to the other party
that such claim of entitlement has been made. The Escrow Holder shall not cause
or permit any portion of the Escrowed Amount to be disbursed until the
expiration of five (5) days of giving such notice whereupon, if the party to
whom such notice was given has not given the Escrow Holder notice of its
objection to a disbursement in accordance with the claim of entitlement, the
Escrow Holder shall cause a disbursement of the Escrowed Amount as requested. If
such party timely objects, however, the Escrow Holder shall retain the Escrowed
Amount and not disburse any portion of the same unless directed by the mutual
written direction of the parties. The Escrow Holder shall at all times disburse
the Escrowed Amount as required in a mutual written direction of the parties.
This Agreement shall terminate upon any such request from Buyer pursuant to
Sections 4.5, 5.3 and 6.1 and Article 8 above.
In the event of any disagreement between the parties, the Escrow
Holder shall retain all deposits pending instructions mutually agreed to by the
Seller and Buyer. In the event there is no mutual agreement by Seller and Buyer
for disbursements, the Escrow Holder shall hold said deposits pending a court
order to disburse. The Escrow Holder may conclusively rely on the authenticity,
validity and effectiveness of any writing delivered to it, and Escrow Holder
shall not be obligated to make any investigation or determination, except as
provided in the case of disputes as to the truth and accuracy of any information
contained therein. Buyer and Seller agree to defend, indemnify and hold Escrow
Holder harmless from any liabilities, suits, claims, or expenses arising from or
out of or in connection with Escrow Holder's acts or failure to act hereunder,
unless caused or created as a result of Escrow Holder's gross negligence or
willful misconduct, and Escrow Holder shall be entitled to reimbursement by
Buyer and/or Seller for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the
performance of its duties hereunder including, without limitation, all
out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys fees of counsel retained by
Escrow Holder. Any such costs and expenses not paid by the parties after billing
and supporting documentation by Escrow Holder may be paid by Escrow Holder out
of the Escrowed Amount. If there is a settlement by Buyer and Seller prior to a
court order, the Buyer and Seller will share equally in the expenses incurred by
the Escrow Holder. Otherwise, the non-prevailing party shall assume full
responsibility for the Escrow Holder's expenses. Escrow Holder is not required
to advance or expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal liability
in performance of its duties hereunder and it may require advancement of funds
by the parties.
Time is expressly declared to be of the essence of this Agreement.
The obligations of Seller hereunder shall be binding only on the
Property and neither the Buyer nor anyone claiming by, through or under the
Buyer shall be entitled to obtain any judgment extending liability beyond the
Property or creating personal liability on the part of the officers, directors,
shareholders, partners or agents of Seller or any of their successors. The
obligations of Buyer hereunder shall be binding only on the assets of Buyer and
neither the Seller nor anyone claiming by, through or under the Seller shall be
entitled to obtain any judgment creating personal liability on the part of the
partners, officers, shareholders, or agents of Buyer or any of their successors
or any affiliated entities. This Section is not intended to limit recovery for
breach of Section 6.6.
In order that Seller may liquidate after the Close of Escrow without
having to maintain reserves as a result of any continuing obligations hereunder
and notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, except for
the obligations under Section 6.6 which survive the Close of Escrow, all
obligations of the Seller under this Agreement which survive the Close of
Escrow, including, without limitation, tax adjustments pursuant to Section 3.4,
utility adjustments pursuant to Section 3.6, rent and lease expense adjustments
pursuant to Section 3.7.3, Seller's representations and warranties pursuant to
Section 6.4.1 and Section 5.3, Seller's obligation to assign Seller's Claims
pursuant Section 6.6 and Seller's representation and warranty and
indemnification pursuant to Article 9 shall only survive until the earlier of
(i) the dissolution of the Seller during the normal course of business, or (ii)
six (6) months.
