Re: Agreement of Purchase and Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions dated
September 30, 1996 ("Purchase Agreement") by and between Billings
Associates, a Montana limited partnership ("Seller"), and Macerich
Rimrock Mall Limited Partnership, a California limited partnership
("Buyer") (Commonwealth Land Title Company Escrow No. 17872)
Dear Rick:
This is to confirm my conversation Friday with Art Coppola, pursuant to
which Seller agreed that the Purchase Price under the Purchase Agreement
shall be $43,686,000 (rather than $44,000,000, as stated in the Purchase
Agreement). Such reduction in the Purchase Price shall be effective upon
Buyer's acknowledgment that Buyer has waived the following condition to
Buyer's obligations under the Purchase Agreement: Section 5(a)(ii) of the
Purchase Agreement. To confirm such waiver, please have Buyer execute a
copy of this letter in the space provided below and fax the same to me
today with a hard copy to follow via overnight mail, with a copy of the
same to Commonwealth Land Title Company.
Very truly yours,
BILLINGS ASSOCIATES, a Montana limited partnership

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

1. PURCHASE AND SALE. Seller hereby agrees to sell the Property to Buyer,
and Buyer hereby agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, upon the terms and
conditions herein set forth.
2. PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price ("PURCHASE PRICE") for the Property
shall be Forty-Four Million Dollars ($44,000,000.00). The Purchase Price may be
decreased in the event Seller is unwilling to remedy certain disapproved matters
concerning the Property as set forth in Paragraph 5(a)(ii) or in the event of
certain damage or condemnation affecting the Property as set forth in Paragraph
16 below, and may be increased if Seller makes certain Approved Capital
Expenditures pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 23 below.
3. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. The Purchase Price for the Property shall

EQUIVALENT"), the sum of Four Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($440,000.00) (the
"INITIAL DEPOSIT"). Upon Escrow Holder's receipt of the Initial Deposit, Escrow
Holder shall immediately invest the Deposit in an interest-bearing account
reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller. Within TWO (2) BUSINESS days after

be deposited with Escrow Holder cash or Cash Equivalent in the amount of an
additional Four Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($440,000.00) (the "ADDITIONAL

If this Agreement is canceled for any reason other than a default by Buyer

by reason of a default by Buyer hereunder, the Deposit shall serve as liquidated
damages as set forth in Paragraph 15(a) below. If Buyer fails to deposit with

Seller may terminate this Agreement and the Escrow by giving written notice
thereof to Buyer and Escrow Holder. The failure of Buyer to deposit the

depositing the Additional Deposit with Escrow Holder), to the Initial Deposit as
liquidated damages.
(b) EXISTING ENCUMBRANCE. A portion of the Purchase Price shall be

Contingency Date or if such day is not a business day, the next business day

"SCHEDULED CLOSING DATE").
5. CONDITIONS TO CLOSE OF ESCROW.
-3-
(a) CONDITIONS TO BUYER'S OBLIGATION. Buyer's obligation to purchase
the Property as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions (or Buyer's written waiver thereof, it being agreed
that Buyer may waive in writing any or all of such conditions for Buyer's
benefit on or prior to the dates designated below for the satisfaction of such
conditions or if no date is so designated, on or before the Close of Escrow)
(i) TITLE REVIEW. Buyer hereby acknowledges receipt of (i) Title
Commitment No. ST8204 dated May 20, 1996, issued by Stewart Title Guaranty
Company; (ii) all underlying exceptions disclosed by such title report or title
commitment; and (iii) A.L.T.A./A.C.S.M. Land Title Survey of the Property dated
September 12, 1995, prepared by Engineering, Inc
Buyer shall have until the date which is thirty (30) days after the date of this
Agreement (the "TITLE APPROVAL DATE") to obtain an updated title report or title
commitment ("TITLE REPORT") from Commonwealth Title Insurance Company (the
"TITLE COMPANY") and an update to the above-referenced survey (as updated, the
"SURVEY") and to give Seller and Escrow Holder written notice ("BUYER'S TITLE
NOTICE") of Buyer's disapproval or conditional approval (in its sole discretion)
of any matters shown in or disclosed by the Title Report and/or the Survey
(collectively, "TITLE").
The failure of Buyer to give Buyer's Title Notice on or before the Title
Approval Date shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval of the matters
shown in or disclosed by the Title Report and the Survey. If Buyer disapproves
or conditionally approves any of the matters shown in or disclosed by the Title
Report or the Survey, Seller may, within five (5) days after its receipt of
Buyer's Title Notice, elect to eliminate or ameliorate to Buyer's satisfaction
(in its sole discretion) such disapproved or conditionally approved matters by
giving Buyer written notice (which shall hereinafter be referred to as "SELLER'S
TITLE NOTICE") of those disapproved or conditionally approved matters, if any,
which Seller agrees to exercise good faith efforts to either eliminate from the
Title Policy or cause to be corrected on the Survey as exceptions to title to
the Property or to ameliorate to Buyer's satisfaction (in its sole discretion)
by the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
Seller agrees to cause to be removed at or prior to the Closing Date all
disapproved matters which constitute monetary liens or encumbrances (except the
Existing Encumbrance and the lien of taxes not yet due and payable). If Seller
fails to timely deliver Seller's Title Notice, then Seller will be deemed to
have elected not to eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved or conditionally
approved matters set forth in Buyer's Title Notice. If Seller does not timely
deliver Seller's Title Notice or does not elect in Seller's Title Notice to
eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved or conditionally approved matters as
provided above, Buyer shall have the right, exercised (in its sole discretion),
by written notice delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder within five (5) days
following the earlier of receipt of Seller's Title Notice or the failure of
Seller to timely provide a Seller's Title Notice, to (a) waive its prior
disapproval or conditional approval, in which event said disapproved or
conditionally approved matter(s) shall be deemed approved, or (b) terminate this
Agreement and the Escrow, in which event this Agreement, the Escrow and the
rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, subject to the
terms of Paragraphs 3(a), 9, 17, 18, 19, 21, 22 and 25 (collectively, the
"SURVIVING PROVISIONS"). The failure of Buyer to deliver a written waiver
described above to Seller and Escrow Holder within five (5) days after Seller's
failure to timely give a Seller's Title Notice or election in Seller's Title
Notice not to remedy the disapproved or conditionally approved matter shall be
deemed Buyer's election to so terminate this Agreement. If Seller elected in
Seller's Title Notice to eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved or
conditionally approved matters of a non-monetary nature, but Seller, despite its
commercially reasonable efforts, has been unable to do so to Buyer's
satisfaction (in its sole discretion) by the Scheduled Closing Date, then either
Buyer or Seller shall have the right; by a writing delivered to the other and
Escrow Holder, to extend the Scheduled Closing Date for a period up to thirty
(30) days to allow Seller to complete such remedy. If as of the extended
Scheduled Closing Date, the disapproved matter has not been remedied to Buyer's
satisfaction (in its sole discretion) as evidenced by Buyer's notice to Seller
and Escrow Agent, this Agreement, the Escrow and the rights and obligations of
the parties hereunder shall terminate, except as provided in the Surviving
Provisions.
In the event Title Company issues one or more supplements to the Title Report
(each a "SUPPLEMENT"), the foregoing provisions will apply to Buyer's review,
approval and/or
-4-
disapproval of matters disclosed in the Supplement and Seller's response
thereto, except that (A) Buyer will have five (5) business days following
receipt of the Supplement and any underlying documents referred to therein
within which to give Buyer's Title Notice, provided; however, that if the matter
disclosed in the Supplement reasonably appears from the information then
available that it may affect building improvements and such matter must be
located on a survey in order to identify its actual impact on the Property,
Buyer shall have eight (8) business days following the receipt of the Supplement
within which to give Buyer's Title Notice, (B) Seller will have five (5)
business days after receipt of Buyer's Title Notice within which to give
Seller's Title Notice and (C) any matter shown in or disclosed by the Supplement
that was created by Buyer's acts, will be deemed approved by Buyer. The Closing
Date shall be extended as may be necessary to accommodate the foregoing notice
periods and Seller's right to eliminate or ameliorate matters disclosed by the
Supplement.
(ii) INSPECTIONS AND STUDIES. On or before forty-five (45) days
after the date of this Agreement (the "CONTINGENCY DATE"), Buyer shall have
approved or disapproved, in Buyer's sole discretion, the results of its reviews
of (A) any and all inspections, investigations, tests and studies with respect
to the Property, including investigations with regard to zoning, building codes,
governmental regulations, building inspections, engineering tests, soils,
seismic and geologic reports, and environmental reports, and (B) all Leases,
Contracts, Operating Agreements, the Existing Encumbrance and all other
agreements, books, records and the like delivered to Buyer or made available to
it hereunder (collectively, the "DOCUMENTS"). Should Buyer disapprove of any
such inspections, studies or Documents, Buyer shall give Seller written notice
thereof ("BUYER'S INSPECTION NOTICE") prior to the Contingency Date specifying
in reasonable detail the reasons for Buyer's disapproval. Buyer acknowledges
having previously reviewed and approved the economic feasibility of this
transaction on the basis of the information and material which Seller or its
broker made available to Buyer prior to the date of this Agreement.
Additionally, Buyer has previously reviewed the physical inspection report on
the Property dated November 10, 1995 prepared by Interactive Resources for
Beneficiary and Seller's response letter to Beneficiary dated December 4, 1995
(collectively, the "INSPECTION REPORT") and has considered the items referenced
therein in its underwriting of this transaction prior to the date of this
Agreement; provided, however and notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have
the right in its sole discretion to approve or disapprove all matters to be
reviewed hereunder. The failure of Buyer to deliver to Seller a Buyer's
Inspection Notice on or before the Contingency Date shall be deemed Buyer's
approval of the Property and of all such inspections and studies and Documents
with respect to the Property. If Buyer delivers to Seller Buyer's Inspection
Notice on or before the Contingency Date, Seller shall, within five (5) days
after its receipt of the Buyer's Inspection Notice, give Buyer written notice
("SELLER'S INSPECTION NOTICE") of Seller's election to (i) exercise Seller's
good faith efforts to remedy the disapproved matter(s) prior to the Closing
Date, (ii) take no action with respect to the disapproved matter(s) or (iii) if
the estimated cost to remedy the disapproved matter(s) (taken together) is
mutually agreed by Buyer and Seller as being less than one percent (1%) of the
Purchase Price, reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the mutually
agreed estimated cost to remedy the disapproved matter(s). If Buyer and Seller
are not able to agree upon an estimated cost to cure the disapproved matter(s)
within five (5) days after Seller's election to reduce the Purchase Price, the
estimated cost to cure the disapproved matter(s) shall be determined by an
independent contractor mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller having experience
in remedying such matter(s). The person or entity so making such estimate is
referred to herein as the "INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR." In all cases, Buyer and
Seller shall cause the estimate to be made as promptly as possible. Such
contractor's estimate shall be deemed to be conclusive as between Buyer and
Seller and Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for one-half (1/2) of the
applicable fees for performance of such services. If the Independent Contractor
determines that the estimated cost to cure the disapproved matter is equal to or
greater than one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price for the Property and Buyer
and Seller have not agreed to credit the Purchase Price by the estimated cost to
cure the disapproved matter, Seller may elect to exercise its good faith efforts
to remedy the disapproved matter(s) or take no action with respect to the
disapproved matter(s) by providing written notice of such election to Buyer
(which notice shall also be referred to herein as a Seller's Inspection Notice)
within three (3) days after Seller's receipt of the Independent Contractor's
determination. If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller's Inspection Notice,
then Seller will be deemed to have elected to take no action with respect to the
disapproved matter(s). If Seller elects in Seller's Inspection Notice to take no
action with respect to the disapproved matter(s) or fails to timely deliver a
Seller's Inspection Notice and Buyer has not waived its prior disapproval by
delivering written notice
-5-
thereof to Seller within three (3) days following the date of Seller's
Inspection Notice or the last date within which Seller had to deliver Seller's
Inspection Notice, as applicable, this Agreement, the Escrow and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except as provided in the
Surviving Provisions. If Seller elected in Seller's Inspection Notice to remedy
the disapproved matter(s), but, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, has
been unable to do so to Buyer's satisfaction (in its sole discretion) by the
Scheduled Closing Date, then Buyer or Seller shall have the right, by written
notice delivered to the other and Escrow Holder, to extend the Closing Date for
a period, up to thirty (30) days, sufficient to allow Seller to complete the
remedy. If, as of the postponed Scheduled Closing Date, the disapproved
matter(s) has(have) not been remedied to Buyer's satisfaction (in its sole
discretion) as evidenced by Buyer's notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, this
Agreement, the Escrow and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto will
terminate, except as provided in the Surviving Provisions. The Scheduled Closing
Date shall be extended as may be necessary to accommodate the foregoing notice
periods and Seller's right to remedy the disapproved matter disclosed in Buyer's
Inspection Notice (but in no event may the Scheduled Closing Date be extended by
more than thirty (30) days).
(iii) REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF SELLER. Seller
shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant and
agreement to be performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement and, subject to
Paragraph 13(b), Seller's representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph
13 hereof shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing
Date; provided, however, if as of two (2) days before the Scheduled Closing Date
Seller shall have failed to perform any nonmonetary covenant or agreement to be
performed by Seller pursuant to this Agreement of which Buyer is actually aware,
and Buyer has no reason to believe that Seller is actually aware of Seller's
nonperformance, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof and the Scheduled
Closing Date shall be extended for a period of five (5) days following receipt
of such notice within which to permit Seller to cure such failure. If Seller has
not cured such failure within such five (5) day period, then Buyer may elect to
proceed under Paragraph 15.
(iv) TENANT ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Subject to the balance of this
Paragraph 5(a)(iv), Buyer shall have received estoppel certificates
(collectively, "ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES" and individually, an "ESTOPPEL
CERTIFICATE") satisfactory to Buyer in its sole discretion, which Seller shall
use its good faith efforts to obtain, duly executed by (i) those Tenants
occupying, in the aggregate, at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the gross
leasable area that is occupied by Tenants as of the Opening of Escrow and (ii)
each Tenant occupying premises containing more than 6,000 square feet of gross
leasable area. Such Estoppel Certificates shall be dated not earlier than sixty
(60) days prior to the original Scheduled Closing Date. The Estoppel
Certificates shall be in the form of EXHIBIT "G-1" attached hereto, and
containing fill-in information consistent with the Rent Roll and Schedule of
Leases (hereinafter defined) or otherwise approved by Buyer (in its sole
discretion), except for Tenants which are anchor department stores, in which
case the Estoppel Certificate shall be in the form of EXHIBIT "G-2" attached
hereto. Seller shall deliver to Buyer executed original Estoppel Certificates as
soon as possible after Seller's receipt of the same. Buyer's failure to
disapprove an executed Estoppel Certificate within five (5) business days
following Buyer's receipt thereof shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval
thereof. Notwithstanding Tenant's changes in form or wording from the form
Estoppel Certificate attached as G-1 or G-2, Buyer may only disapprove an
Estoppel Certificate if the substance of the Estoppel Certificate is (i)
materially different from the form of Estoppel Certificate; provided, however,
the deletion or modification of paragraphs 13, 14, 15 and/or 16 shall not be
considered a material modification, or (ii) contains fill-in information not
consistent with the Rent Roll and Schedule of Leases. In addition, Seller shall
deliver to Buyer a Seller's Lease Certificate for each occupied Tenant space
with greater than 6,000 square feet of gross leasable area for which an Estoppel
Certificate was not obtained (which Estoppel Certificates shall count against
the above 85% requirement). If Seller has obtained acceptable Estoppel
Certificates from those Tenants occupying at least fifty-five percent (55%) of
the gross leasable area ("THRESHOLD AMOUNT") that is occupied by Tenants as of
the Opening of Escrow, but has not been able to obtain acceptable Estoppel
Certificates from Tenants occupying at least eighty-five percent (85%) of the
gross leasable area that is occupied by Tenants as of the Opening of Escrow,
then Seller shall deliver its own, separate certificate to Buyer for specific
Leases as determined by Seller and as may be necessary to satisfy the foregoing
requirement ("SELLER'S LEASE CERTIFICATE") in the form of EXHIBIT "G-3" attached
hereto. Seller shall deliver the original executed Seller's Lease Certificates
to Buyer no later than one (1) business day prior to
-6-
the Closing Date. In the event that after the Closing Date Seller receives an
Estoppel Certificate in a form acceptable (on the terms described above) to
Buyer from a Tenant for whom Seller previously delivered a Seller's Lease
Certificate, Seller may deliver such Estoppel Certificate to Buyer and the
corresponding Seller's Lease Certificate shall be canceled AB INITIO. The
immediately preceding sentence shall survive the Close of Escrow. If Buyer
disapproves of, or should Seller fail to timely obtain the Threshold Amount of
Estoppel Certificates, then at Seller's or Buyer's election by written notice to
the other and Escrow Holder received at least one (1) business day prior to the
Scheduled Closing Date, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be postponed for up to
fifteen (15) days, and Seller shall continue to diligently seek to obtain any
missing Estoppel Certificate and/or remedy any disapproved Estoppel Certificate.
If, as of the postponed Scheduled Closing Date, Seller has not delivered the
Threshold Amount of Estoppel Certificates, then this Agreement, the Escrow and
the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall, at the option of
Buyer, terminate, except as provided in the Surviving Provisions. If the
Scheduled Closing Date is extended pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph, the
requirement that the Estoppel Certificates be dated no more than sixty (60) days
prior to the Scheduled Closing Date shall be waived with respect to those
Estoppel Certificates that have previously been delivered to Buyer and which
were dated within sixty (60) days of the original Scheduled Closing Date.
As used herein, the term "RENT ROLL" shall mean a list (which at the
time such list is given hereunder contains the most current information) setting
forth with respect to each space subject to a Lease, other than spaces which are
subject to month-to-month tenancies, cart license agreements and temporary
tenants: the number identifying such space, the name of the Tenant occupying
such space, the number of square feet comprising such space, the current annual
minimum monthly rental and the current percentage rental factor under the Lease
for such space, the current percentage rent break point (split breaks and multi-
tier breaks are not reflected) and the commencement and expiration dates of the
term of such Lease.
(v) REA ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES. Buyer shall have received
estoppel certificates (collectively, "REA ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATES" and
individually, an "REA ESTOPPEL CERTIFICATE") satisfactory to Buyer (subject to
the terms of this Paragraph 5(a)(v) but otherwise in its sole discretion), which
Seller shall use its good faith efforts to obtain, duly executed by each of the
department store parties ("REA PARTIES") described on EXHIBIT "E" attached
hereto and to be dated not earlier than sixty (60) days prior to the original
Scheduled Closing Date. The REA Estoppel Certificates shall be in the form of,
and upon the terms contained in, EXHIBIT "H". Seller shall deliver to Buyer
executed original REA Estoppel Certificates as soon as possible after Seller's
receipt of the same or may cause REA Estoppel Certificates to be delivered
directly to Buyer. Buyer's failure to disapprove an executed REA Estoppel
Certificate within five (5) business days following Buyer's receipt thereof
shall be deemed to constitute Buyer's approval thereof. Notwithstanding changes
by an REA Party in the form or wording from the form of EXHIBIT "H", Buyer may
only disapprove an REA Estoppel Certificate if the substance of the REA Estoppel
Certificate is materially different than the forms of REA Estoppel Certificates
attached hereto. If Buyer disapproves of, or should Seller fail to timely
obtain, any REA Estoppel Certificate, then at Seller's or Buyer's election by
written notice to the other and Escrow Holder received at least one (1) business
day prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be
postponed for up to fifteen (15) days, and Seller shall continue to diligently
seek to obtain any missing REA Estoppel Certificate and/or remedy (to Buyer's
satisfaction in its sole discretion) any disapproved REA Estoppel Certificate.
If, as of the postponed Scheduled Closing Date, Seller has not delivered the
required REA Estoppel Certificates, then, at Buyer's option, this Agreement, the
Escrow and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate,
except as provided in the Surviving Provisions. If the Scheduled Closing Date is
extended pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph, the requirement that the REA
Estoppel Certificates be dated no more than sixty (60) days prior to the
Scheduled Closing Date shall be waived with respect to those REA Estoppel
Certificates that have previously been delivered to Buyer and which were dated
within sixty (60) days of the original Scheduled Closing Date.
(vi) TITLE POLICY. Title Company shall be committed to issue to
Buyer its ALTA extended coverage Form B-1970 owner's policy of title insurance
for the Property ("Title Policy") in the amount of the Purchase Price and
showing title vested in Buyer, subject only to the exceptions as may be approved
or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with Paragraph 5(a)(i) above, and
containing such endorsements as Buyer may reasonably request (the "APPROVED
CONDITION OF TITLE").
-7-
(vii) DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION PRIOR TO CLOSE OF ESCROW. Prior to
the Close of Escrow there shall have been no material casualty or condemnation
as to which Buyer has elected to terminate this Agreement in accordance with
Paragraph 16 below.
(viii) ASSUMPTION OF EXISTING ENCUMBRANCE. Beneficiary shall have
consented in writing to Buyer's assumption of the Existing Encumbrance including
Seller's assignment to Buyer of Seller's interest under the Pledge Agreement and
in and to the Pledge Account (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) and
Beneficiary shall have made available to Buyer, and Buyer shall have approved
(in its sole discretion), the form of the agreements Beneficiary will require
from Buyer to evidence such assumption. Buyer and Seller agree to use their good
faith, diligent efforts to obtain from Beneficiary as soon as possible such
consent (which shall, inter alia, contain customary information from Beneficiary
regarding the outstanding principal and interest under the Existing Encumbrance)
and the form of the agreements (the "TIAA CONSENT AGREEMENTS"), if any,
Beneficiary will require from Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall cooperate
with one another to cause Beneficiary to provide the documents and information
to Buyer which Buyer requires to satisfy or waive this condition as soon as
reasonably possible.
(ix) NO SELLER DEFAULT UNDER THE OTHER AGREEMENT. As of the
Closing Date hereunder, there shall be no outstanding default by Seller's
affiliate under the Other Agreement.
(x) DEPARTMENT STORES AND MAJOR TENANTS. None of the REA Parties
have ceased to do business at their stores located in the Property under the
name(s) under which they were respectively operating as of the date of this
Agreement, and the gross leaseable area of the Property occupied by Tenants
shall not have fallen more than five percent (5%) from the gross leaseable area
of the Property occupied by Tenants as of the Contingency Date.
(b) CONDITIONS TO SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS. Seller's obligation to sell
the Property as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction of
the following conditions (or Seller's written waiver thereof, it being agreed
that Seller may waive in writing all or any of such conditions for Seller's
benefit on or prior to the dates designated below for the satisfaction of such
conditions):
(i) REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF BUYER. Buyer
shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant and
agreement to be performed by Buyer and Buyer's representations and warranties
set forth in Paragraph 14 shall be true and correct in all material respects as
of the Closing Date; provided, however, if as of two (2) days before the
Scheduled Closing Date Buyer shall have failed to perform any nonmonetary
covenant or agreement of which Seller is actually aware, and Seller has no
reason to believe that Buyer is actually aware of such nonperformance, Seller
shall give Buyer written notice thereof and the Scheduled Closing Date shall be
extended for a period of five (5) days following receipt of such notice to
permit Buyer to cure such failure. If Buyer has not cured such failure within
such five (5) day period, then Seller may elect to proceed under Paragraph 15
hereof.
(ii) ASSUMPTION OF EXISTING ENCUMBRANCE. Beneficiary shall have
consented in writing to Buyer's assumption of the Existing Encumbrance. Buyer

transferring custody of the onsite management office. Seller shall have a
continuing right of access to such records (upon at least two (2) business days
prior written notice to Buyer) in connection with future claims, actions or
audits. In addition, except for such records or matters which are confidential,
proprietary in nature or subject to any attorney-client or attorney work product
privilege, subsequent to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall generally cooperate

other records pertaining to the Property as may be specifically requested by
Buyer for its use in connection with the operation or management of the Property
and which are in Seller's possession or control.

management office to Buyer);
(g) KEYS. Any keys in the possession or control of Seller to all

9. COSTS AND EXPENSES. Seller shall pay the cost and expense of any

original Survey, the cost of any title curative endorsements, one-half of the
escrow fee of Escrow Holder, one-half of any documentary transfer taxes payable

one-half of any other Closing costs not specifically apportioned hereunder.
Buyer shall pay the cost and expense of any fees or charges (other than any
assumption fee under the terms of the Existing Encumbrance) charged by
Beneficiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
any extended coverage title policy and title endorsements (except title curative
endorsements) over the premium for the standard coverage title policy, any
additional title fees in order to obtain a concurrent lender's policy of title
insurance acceptable to Beneficiary, one-half of the documentary transfer taxes,
one-half of the escrow fee of Escrow Holder, the cost to update the original

fails to close, Buyer and Seller shall share equally all of Title Company's and
Escrow Holder's fees and charges pertaining to the Escrow. If Escrow fails to
close as a result of a party's default hereunder, the defaulting party will be
responsible for all of Title Company's and Escrow Holder's fees and charges
pertaining to the Escrow.
10. PRORATIONS. The following prorations between Seller and Buyer shall be
made by Buyer and Seller and computed, where possible, as of the Close of
Escrow:
(a) TAXES. Real and personal property taxes and assessments on the
Property shall be prorated on the basis that Seller is responsible for (i) all
such taxes and assessments for the fiscal year of the applicable taxing
authorities occurring prior to the "Current Tax Period" (as hereinafter defined)
and (ii) that portion of such taxes and assessments for the Current Tax Period
which relate to that portion of the Current Tax Period prior to the Close of
Escrow determined on the basis of the number of days which have elapsed from the
first day of the Current Tax Period to the day prior to the Close of Escrow,
whether or not the same shall be payable prior to the Close of Escrow. The
phrase "CURRENT TAX PERIOD" refers to the fiscal year of the applicable taxing
authority in which the Close of Escrow occurs. Buyer shall be responsible for
the taxes and assessments, including any reassessment based on the Buyer's
acquisition of the Property, relating to the balance of the Current Tax Period.
In the event that as of the Close of Escrow the actual tax bills for the year or
years in question are not available and the amount of taxes and assessments to
be prorated as aforesaid cannot be ascertained, then rates and assessed
valuation of the previous year, with any known changes, shall be used for
prorations, and promptly after the date when the actual amount of taxes and
assessments for the year or years in question shall be determinable, such taxes
and assessments will be re-prorated by the parties on the terms of this
paragraph to reflect the actual amount of such taxes and assessments. Promptly
after first learning of the same, the first party to learn of a future, pending
or actual tax refund relating to a period prior to the Close of Escrow shall
notify the other party of the same. When the amount of the refund is known,
Seller shall analyze whether any of Buyer's tenants are entitled to all or any
portion of such tax refund under law or contract and provide a written report to
Buyer addressing
-11-
the results of such analysis. Such report shall be subject to Buyer's approval,
not unreasonably withheld or delayed. If Buyer disapproves such report, Buyer
shall notify Seller of the same, the amount of the refund it claims should be
allocated to its tenants and the basis for the same. If Buyer approves the
report, Buyer shall retain or be entitled to that portion of the refund as
described in the report and shall disburse to or credit the appropriate tenants
with such portion of the refund. Subject to Buyer's approval of the credit due
Tenants as shown in the report approved by Buyer, any pending or future tax
refunds relating to a period prior to the Close of Escrow is and shall remain
the sole property of Seller and shall be delivered promptly to Seller by Buyer
if received by Buyer.
(b) RENTALS. Rentals and other payments payable by tenants,
licensees, concessionaires, the REA Parties and other persons using or occupying
the Property or any part thereof, if any, for or in connection with such use or
occupancy (including, without limitation, fixed monthly rentals, additional
rentals, percentage rentals, escalation rentals, retroactive rentals, operating
cost pass-throughs, common area maintenance charges, HVAC charges, promotional
charges and other sums and charges payable by the Tenants under the Leases
[collectively, "RENTALS")] shall be prorated as of the Close of Escrow such that
Seller will be entitled to Rentals attributable to periods prior to the Close of
Escrow and Buyer will be entitled to Rentals attributable to periods from and
after the Close of Escrow, all as more particularly set forth below.
(i) CURRENT RENTAL. All Rentals, other than Percentage Rent owed
under the Leases, for the month in which the Closing occurs ("CURRENT RENT")
shall be prorated as provided below as of the Closing Date; provided that
Current Rent shall not include Rentals with respect to the current month owed by
any tenant which is more than thirty (30) days delinquent in the payment of
Rental applicable to the immediately prior month. Seller's share of Current Rent
shall be the product of (i) the quotient arrived at by dividing (a) the number
of days prior to the Close of Escrow within the calendar month of the Close of
Escrow by (b) the total number of days within such calendar month, and (ii) the
Current Rent. If Seller has received prior to the effective date of Buyer's and
Seller's proration under this subparagraph (b)(i) (which effective date shall be
the date Seller has cut off receivables, which shall be two (2) or three (3)
business days prior to the Closing), Current Rent in excess of Seller's share of
the Current Rent for the calendar month of the Closing Date as calculated above,
the proration statement of Buyer shall reflect a credit against the Purchase
Price in the amount of such excess. Alternatively, if Seller's share of Current
Rent as calculated above is greater than Seller's collection of Current Rent,
the proration statement of Buyer shall reflect a debit (i.e., funds payable at
Closing), in addition to the Purchase Price, in the amount of such difference
and, if within thirty (30) days after the Closing, Buyer shall not have received
all Current Rent less Seller's collection of Current Rent (such shortfall in
collections being the "CURRENT RENT COLLECTION SHORTFALL"), Seller shall refund
back to Buyer Seller's share (determined as described in the second sentence of
this subparagraph above) of the Current Rent Collection Shortfall and such
amounts refunded to Buyer shall be deemed Rent Arrears. All Current Rent
received by Buyer shall be retained by Buyer. All Current Rent received by
Seller in the month in which the Closing occurs shall be retained by Seller if
reflected in the foregoing proration as part of Seller's collection of Current
Rent and, if not (i.e., Seller receives a payment of Current Rent after the
effective date of the proration), either such payment shall be retained by
Seller and Buyer shall receive a corresponding credit against the Purchase Price
or such payment shall be promptly delivered by Seller to Buyer when received by
Seller. With respect to percentage rent or overage rent paid under Leases with
no minimum rent, (i) such Rental with respect to the month of the Closing shall
be prorated on the basis of the number of days of each party's period of
ownership during the month of the Closing in the same manner as Current Rent;
and (ii) such Rental with respect to any month preceding or following the month
of Closing shall not be prorated.
(ii) RENT ARREARS. "RENT ARREARS" for the purpose of this
Paragraph shall mean Rentals (other than Percentage Rent) more than thirty (30)
days past due plus Rentals (other than Percentage Rent) which are less than
thirty (30) days past due if owed by a tenant which is more than thirty (30)
days delinquent in the payment of Rentals applicable to the immediately prior
month. With respect to any Rent Arrears arising under the Leases, Buyer shall
pay to Seller on a Lease by Lease basis within the time described below any
Rentals (other than Percentage Rent) actually collected that is applicable to
the period preceding the Closing Date, less reasonable collection charges;
provided, however, that it is hereby understood and agreed
-12-
that any Rent Arrears collected by Buyer shall be applied first to unpaid
Rentals accruing under the subject Lease after the Closing Date, and then, only
after all such past due Rentals have been collected, to unpaid Rentals accruing
under the subject Lease prior to the Closing Date; further provided, however,
that with respect to delinquent Estimated Tenant Charges (as defined below), if
any, under the subject Lease, in no event shall Seller receive payment in excess
of the Shortfall (as defined below). Any sums owed to Seller pursuant to the
foregoing shall be paid by Buyer to Seller by the tenth (10th) day of the first
calendar month following the month in which payment is received by Buyer. Buyer
shall deliver to Seller by the tenth (10th) day of the first full calendar month
after the Closing Date and every month thereafter, a statement of the collection
status of each Rent Arrears until the sooner of (i) collection of all Rent
Arrears and (ii) six (6) months after the Closing Date. If any Rent Arrears
remain six (6) months after the Closing Date, Buyer shall deliver to Seller,
within a reasonable time after request by Seller, a statement of the collection
status of any remaining Rent Arrears.
(iii) PERCENTAGE RENT. Other than percentage rent or overage rent
paid under Leases with no minimum rent, percentage rent or overage rent
(referred to herein as "PERCENTAGE RENT") under the Leases shall be prorated
between Buyer and Seller on a Lease by Lease basis with Seller entitled to the
portion of total Percentage Rent paid under each Lease for the "LEASE YEAR" in
which the Close of Escrow occurs (the "SUBJECT LEASE YEAR") which is in the same
ratio to total Percentage Rent paid with respect to such Lease Year under the
subject Lease as the ratio of (a) the number of days of said Lease Year which
Seller was the landlord under the subject Lease to (b) the total number of days
in said Lease Year. Buyer shall be entitled to the balance of Percentage Rent
paid under each Lease with respect to the Subject Lease Year. As used herein,
the term "LEASE YEAR" means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual
Percentage Rent is owed under each Lease. The foregoing proration shall be made
as follows on a Lease by Lease basis: (a) subject to the balance of this
subparagraph (iii), Seller shall retain all Percentage Rent payments received by
it on and prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall retain all Percentage
Rent payments received by it after the Close of Escrow; (b) as promptly as
possible after the Closing Date Seller shall deliver to Buyer a statement of all
Percentage Rent collected by Seller with respect to the Subject Lease Year on a
Lease by Lease basis along with a copy of the Percentage Rent invoices and sales
reports which support such collections, (c) for each Lease, not later than
forty-five (45) days after the date the last Percentage Rent payment with
respect to the Subject Lease Year is due, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a
statement of all Percentage Rent owed, collected or deemed collectable by Buyer
with respect to such Lease along with a copy of the annual reconciliation of
Percentage Rent owed under the subject Lease for the Subject Lease Year and the
related sales information backup; and, (d) for each Lease, within thirty (30)
days after the date the statement and reconciliation described in clause (c)
above is delivered to Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller or Seller shall pay to
Buyer, whichever is applicable, the positive difference between (a) the total
Percentage Rental collected by such party with respect to the Subject Lease Year
and (b) the product of (x) the average daily Percentage Rental received with
respect to the Subject Lease Year after taking into account the annual
reconciliation and (y) the actual number of days such party was the owner of the
Project during the Subject Lease Year (with Buyer being deemed to be the owner
as of the Closing Date). If Percentage Rent is collected by Buyer from
delinquent tenants only after enforcement or collection efforts, for the purpose
of this proration, the Percentage Rent collected by Buyer with respect to the
subject Lease shall be deemed to be the actual amount collected less reasonable
collection charges.
(iv) DEPOSITS AND ADVANCE RENTALS. Cash security deposits paid by
tenants pursuant to the Leases, and any interest required to be paid thereon,
and any Rentals paid (or deemed paid as a result of a credit to the tenant based
upon past overpayments) more than one month in advance shall be fully credited
to Buyer at Closing (i.e., Buyer's proration statement shall reflect a credit
against the Purchase Price). Non-cash forms of security deposits (certificates
of deposit, accounts, letters of credit and the like) shall be delivered,
transferred or assigned by Seller to Purchaser at Closing. Except as to Leases
which are terminated in accordance with Paragraph 12 below, Seller agrees that
it will not during the term of this Escrow or upon the Close of Escrow apply any
deposits toward any delinquent Rentals, or other amounts due under any Leases.
Any security or performance deposits delivered by Seller to any governmental -
entities or other third parties in connection with Seller's fulfillment of
onsite or offsite improvement obligations which were completed prior to the
Closing Date and any interest
-13-
required to be paid thereon shall be and remain the sole property of Seller, and
any refund or return of such deposits shall be made directly to Seller.
(v) OTHER TENANT CHARGES. The Leases contain tenant obligations
for payment of various items on a monthly estimated basis subject to a
reconciliation following the end of each applicable period (i.e., annual
calendar year in most cases and semi-annually for most estimated monthly
payments of property taxes) (the "TENANT CHARGES"). Rentals and Rent Arrears, as
defined above, include Tenant Charges. Examples of Tenant Charges are taxes,
common area expenses, maintenance, utilities and HVAC charges. Percentage rent,
fixed rent, minimum rent and promotional fund contributions are not Tenant
Charges. Such monthly billings are referred to as "ESTIMATED TENANT CHARGES" and
the actual amount of the Tenant Charges owed under the Leases based on the
landlord's actual expenditures are referred to herein as the "ACTUAL TENANT
CHARGES". As promptly as possible after the Closing Date, but in no event later
than ninety (90) days thereafter, Seller shall deliver to Buyer (a) a schedule
of the expenses, costs and charges (the "EXPENSE ITEMS") relating to that
portion of the current applicable period prior to the Close of Escrow (such
period of time being referred to herein as the "PARTIAL YEAR") which constitute
the basis for Actual Tenant Charges along with appropriate backup information on
such Expense Items and (b) a reconciliation of (i) the Estimated Tenant Charges
owed under each Lease during the Partial Year, and (ii) the Actual Tenant
Charges payable under each Lease for Expense Items relating to the Partial Year.
For the purpose of this Paragraph 10(b)(v), those, and only those, Estimated
Tenant Charges allocated to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 10(b)(i) above shall be
considered as owed by the subject tenant and collected by Seller during the
month of the Close of Escrow. Seller's reconciliation statement for the Partial
Year shall reflect, on a Lease by Lease basis, (i) the amount by which Actual
Tenant Charges exceed the Estimated Tenant Charges owed under the Lease (the
"PRE-CLOSING UNDERPAYMENT"), being the sum owed to Seller or (ii) the amount by
which the Estimated Tenant Charges exceed the Actual Tenant Charges owed under
the Lease (the "PRE-CLOSING OVERPAYMENT"), being the sum owed to Buyer.
Concurrent with Buyer's receipt of Seller's reconciliation statement, Seller
shall pay to Buyer the aggregate amount of all Pre-closing Overpayments less any
Rent Arrears (other than those then subject to dispute by the Tenant) that
remain payable by the Tenants who are subject to the Pre-closing Overpayment. At
such time after the Close of Escrow as Buyer reconciles Tenant Charges under the
Leases, the reconciliations prepared by Buyer and sent to the Tenants shall
incorporate the result of Seller's reconciliation statement. As promptly as
possible following Buyer's receipt of payment from Tenants of Pre-closing
Underpayments, Buyer shall remit the same to Seller less the reasonable
collection costs incurred by Buyer, if any, that are reasonably allocated to
collections payable to Seller, provided, however, any sums collected by Buyer
with respect to Tenant Charges shall be applied first to Tenant Charges accruing
after the Closing Date. If, as a result of Buyer's annual reconciliation of
Tenant Charges, any tenants are entitled to payments or credits by the landlord
(other than a return of security deposits) for the calendar year in which the
Close of Escrow occurs for overpayment of Estimated Tenant Charges, Buyer shall
be solely responsible for such payment or credit. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, if the Actual Tenant Charges payable by a
Tenant is subject to a cap which is lower than such Tenant's share of Estimated
Tenant Charges or Actual Tenant Charges for the applicable period, such cap
shall be prorated on the number of days Seller is the owner of the Property
during the applicable period and in no event shall Seller receive or retain
Estimated Tenant Charges from such Tenant in excess of the prorated cap. In the
event Seller's collection of Estimated Tenant Charges from such Tenant is in
excess of the prorated cap, Seller's reconciliation statement shall reflect a
sum owed to Buyer in the amount of such excess which payment Seller shall make
concurrent with the delivery of Seller's reconciliation statement. In the event
Seller's collection of Estimated Tenant Charges from such Tenant is less than
the prorated cap (and the Actual Tenant Charges are greater than the prorated
cap), Seller's reconciliation statement shall reflect a sum owed to Seller in
the amount of the difference between the prorated cap and the total of such
invoices, which Buyer shall remit to Seller when collected from the subject
Tenant.
(vi) SELLER CLAIMS AGAINST TENANTS. As of the date hereof, Seller
has certain actual or potential claims or notes receivables against certain
tenants as particularly noted in EXHIBIT "V." Additionally, at the Closing Date,
Seller may have other claims against tenants including, but not limited to,
claims relating to non-payment of rent or other charges. Seller reserves the
right both prior to and following the Closing Date to assert, prosecute and
enforce any claims or judgments it may have or obtain against tenants on or
prior to the Closing Date;
-14-
provided, however, subject to Paragraph 12(c), in no event shall Seller have the
right to evict any tenant or terminate any Lease.
(c) UTILITY CHARGES. Seller shall attempt to cause the utility and
water meters to be read by the applicable utility provider on the Closing Date
or as close to the Closing Date as is possible if a reading on the Closing Date
cannot be obtained, and shall be responsible for the cost of all utilities and
water used prior to that time, except to the extent such utility charges are
billed to and paid by tenants directly or fully reimbursed as part of Tenant
Charges. To the extent utility readings cannot be taken on the Closing Date,
Buyer and Seller shall reasonably estimate what the readings are likely to have
been as of the Closing Date based on the actual reading, when the actual reading
occurred and such information as may be available to Buyer and Seller relating
to daily usage rates. Any security or service deposits delivered by Seller to
utility providers, and any interest required to be paid thereon, shall be and
remain the sole property of Seller, and any refund of such security deposits
shall be made directly to Seller except to the extent such deposits are assigned
to Buyer by Seller in which case, Buyer shall be debited and Seller credited the
amount of such assigned deposits.
(d) LEASING COMMISSIONS AND TENANT IMPROVEMENT ALLOWANCES AND FREE
RENT. Other than those Leasing Commissions and Tenant Incentives identified on
EXHIBIT "V" and those incident to Leases approved by Buyer pursuant to Paragraph
12(c) below, identified in EXHIBIT "V" as being payable by Buyer if the Closing
occurs, Seller shall pay when due, without contribution from Buyer, all Leasing
Commissions and Tenant Incentives payable by landlord under the Leases. To the
extent Leasing Commissions and/or Tenant Incentives payable by Buyer are paid by
Seller prior to the Closing, Seller shall be credited and Buyer debited the
amount of such payments. With respect to those Leases fully executed or renewed
from and after the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall pay in full, without
contribution by Seller, all leasing commissions and tenant improvement
allowances, if any, payable by the landlord unless the same are owed pursuant to
separate agreement (i.e., other than the Lease) with Seller not disclosed to
Buyer as one of the Contracts, in which case Seller shall be responsible for
payment of the same.
Buyer acknowledges that with respect to those Leases fully executed
prior to August 21, 1996, Buyer was aware of, and in offering the Purchase
Price, considered the effect of the free rent identified in EXHIBIT "V" attached
hereto, and therefore, there shall be no adjustment in the Purchase Price as a
result of the same. Any other free rent relating to a period after the Closing
Date under those Leases fully executed prior to August 21, 1996 shall result in
a credit to Buyer against the Purchase Price.
(e) CAPITAL EXPENDITURES; AMORTIZATION OF EXTRAORDINARY EXPENSE. All
capital and other improvements which are performed or contracted for by Seller
prior to the Close of Escrow will be paid by the Seller, without contribution or
proration from Buyer, except for (i) those tenant improvement allowances for
which Buyer is responsible pursuant to Paragraph 10(d) above, and (ii) those
capital expenditures approved by Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 23 that will be
added to the Purchase Price as set forth in Paragraph 23.
(f) CONTRACTS. Amounts payable under those Contracts referred to in
the Assignments of Contracts shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Seller shall
pay all amounts due thereunder which accrue prior to the Close of Escrow and
Buyer shall pay all amounts accruing on the Close of Escrow and thereafter.
(g) PROMOTIONAL FUND. Promotional fund charges relating to the month
in which the Closing occurs are prorated as a part of Current Rent. Seller
maintains a separate account (the "PROMOTIONAL FUND ACCOUNT") into which all
promotional fund collections are deposited and from which all promotional fund
expenditures are made. Seller covenants to make prior to the Closing all
contributions to the Promotional Fund Account which are owed by Seller under the
Leases or the Operating Agreements with respect to any period of time prior to
the Closing. From time to time, Seller may have advanced funds to the
Promotional Fund Account to allow the incurrence of certain promotional expenses
in advance of collections including the acquisition of equipment or improvements
relating to promotional activities. Such advances are accounted for as a
receivable from the promotional fund to Seller and in the case of certain
improvements or acquisitions with a multi-year useful life, repayment of such
receivable is based on an amortization schedule. Therefore, the Promotional Fund
Account may have a positive
-15-
balance (collections exceed expenditures) or a negative balance (expenditures
exceed collections). As of the Close of Escrow, if the Promotional Fund Account
has a positive balance, Buyer shall be credited and Seller debited with such
positive balance, and if the Promotional Fund Account has a negative balance,
Seller shall be credited and Buyer debited with such negative balance.
(h) PRE-CLOSING EXPENDITURES. Seller shall pay or cause to be paid
all invoices, charges, bills and the like from providers of goods or services to
Seller or Seller's Manager in connection with the Property relating to any
period prior to the Close of Escrow.
At least one (1) business day prior to the Close of Escrow, the parties shall
agree upon all of the prorations to be made and submit a statement to Escrow
Holder setting forth the same. In the event that any prorations, apportionments
or computations made under this Paragraph shall require final adjustment due to
errors in computation, the need for additional information or as a result of a
tenant audit pursuant to audit rights under the Leases, then the parties shall
make the appropriate adjustments within thirty (30) days of the date when
accurate or additional information becomes available and either party hereto
shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Any corrected adjustment
or proration shall be paid in cash to the party entitled thereto within three
(3) business days of the date of determination. This Paragraph 10 and the
foregoing adjustment obligation shall survive the Close of Escrow.
11. DISBURSEMENTS AND OTHER ACTIONS BY ESCROW HOLDER. Subject to
satisfaction for Buyer's benefit or waiver by Buyer of all conditions identified
in Paragraph 5(a) and satisfaction for Seller's benefit or waiver by Seller of
all conditions identified in Paragraph 5(b), on the Closing Date, Escrow Holder
shall promptly undertake all of the following in the following manner:
(a) PRORATIONS. Prorate all matters referenced in Paragraph 10 based
upon the statement delivered into Escrow signed by the parties;

(c) FUNDS. Disburse from funds deposited by Buyer with Escrow Holder
towards payment of all items (including, without limitation, the Purchase Price)

Buyer ("SELLER'S CURE NOTICE"), delivered to Buyer within ten (10) days after a
Buyer's Representation Notice, undertake to cure the subject breach or warranty
(which, in the case of a knowledge-based representation or warranty, shall mean
the cure of the related underlying deficiency in the Property) and, in the event

Date up to thirty (30) days to the extent necessary to complete such cure to the
reasonable satisfaction of Buyer, and (ii) if Seller elects not to perform such
cure, Seller shall have no liability hereunder for breach of the subject
representation or warranty, rather, provided Buyer was unaware of the subject

Holder within ten (10) days after Buyer's receipt of the Seller's Cure Notice,

notice and cure periods set forth in this Paragraph. Except in the case where
Seller knew that the subject representation or warranty was untrue when
initially given, (i) in the
-23-
event that at the Close of Escrow, Buyer has actual knowledge that a
representation or warranty of Seller contained herein is untrue or incorrect,
and Buyer nevertheless elects to proceed to Close of Escrow, Buyer waives any
claim it may have against Seller for a breach of such representation or warranty
and (ii) in the event that prior to the Contingency Date, Buyer has actual
knowledge that a representation or warranty of Seller contained herein is untrue
or incorrect, and Buyer nevertheless elects to proceed beyond the Contingency
Date without giving a Buyer's Representation Notice, Buyer waives any claim it
may have against Seller for a breach of such representation or warranty. As used
in this Agreement, the terms "ACTUAL KNOWLEDGE" and "ACTUALLY AWARE" shall not
include any fact contained in any document that has not actually been reviewed
by Buyer.
(c) DEFINITION OF KNOWLEDGE. Where a representation or warranty is
limited to the knowledge of Seller or the knowledge of Seller is referred to

the current, actual knowledge, without independent investigation or inquiry
except as described below, of Seller's and Seller's Manager's personnel as
follows: Mary Allman Boyle, Tom Leeman, John Walker, Kurt Sullivan and Ron
Glover. Inquiry is limited to the inquiry of Seller in the form of a

would reasonably make inquiry of given the subject matter of the representations
and warranties.
(d) LIMITATION ON SURVIVAL. The representations and warranties and
indemnities of Seller set forth in this Agreement and in any Exhibits to this
Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow and continue until January 1, 1998
and shall automatically lapse and become null and void after said period, and
Buyer shall thereafter be barred from bringing or asserting any claim against
Seller under any indemnity or by reason of a breach of any of such
representations or warranties by Seller unless prior to the expiration of such
time period, such claim is asserted in writing delivered to Seller specifying
the claim under the indemnity or the alleged breach and the specific factual
basis for the same.
14. BUYER'S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. In consideration of Seller
entering into this Agreement and as an inducement to Seller to sell the Property
to Buyer, Buyer makes the following representations and warranties, each of

in good standing under the laws of the State of California, and is not
insolvent. Buyer has the legal power, right and authority to enter into this
Agreement and the instruments referenced herein, and to consummate the
transaction contemplated hereby;
(b) All requisite action (corporate, trust, partnership or otherwise)
has been taken by Buyer in connection with the entering into this Agreement, the
instruments referenced herein, and the consummation of the transaction
contemplated hereby. No other consent of any partner, shareholder, trustee,
trustor, beneficiary, creditor, investor, judicial or administrative body,
governmental authority or other party is required;

conditions hereof and thereof; and
(d) Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
documents and instruments referenced herein, nor the incurrence of the
obligations set forth herein, nor the consummation of the transaction
contemplated herein, nor compliance with the terms of this Agreement and the
documents and instruments referenced herein will be impeded by any terms,
conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any bond, note, or
other evidence of indebtedness or any contract, indenture, mortgage, deed of

15. DEFAULT - REMEDIES.
(a) SELLERS REMEDIES; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. IF BUYER IS IN BREACH OF

-24-
BY REASON OF SUCH DEFAULT, THEN SELLER MAY ELECT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT
AND THE ESCROW (IN WHICH EVENT SELLER SHALL THEREUPON BE RELEASED FROM ITS
OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER). BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT, BASED
UPON THE CIRCUMSTANCES NOW EXISTING, KNOWN AND UNKNOWN, IT WOULD BE
IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTABLISH SELLER'S DAMAGE BY REASON OF
BUYER'S DEFAULT. ACCORDINGLY, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE
REASONABLE AT SUCH TIME TO AWARD SELLER "LIQUIDATED DAMAGES" EQUAL TO THE
AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT. SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE
FOREGOING AMOUNT IS REASONABLE AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SHALL BE SELLER'S
SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER RELIEF, RIGHT OR REMEDY, AT
LAW OR IN EQUITY, TO WHICH SELLER MIGHT OTHERWISE BE ENTITLED BY REASON OF
BUYER'S DEFAULT AT OR PRIOR TO THE CLOSE OF ESCROW IN ANY COVENANT,
REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. ACCORDINGLY, IF BUYER
COMMITS A DEFAULT IN ANY COVENANT, REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR BY REASON OF SUCH DEFAULT,
SELLER MAY ELECT TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND THE ESCROW, WHEREUPON SELLER
SHALL BE RELIEVED FROM ALL LIABILITY HEREUNDER AND THEREUNDER, AND ESCROW
HOLDER SHALL (I) CANCEL THE ESCROW, AND (II) DISBURSE TO SELLER THE DEPOSIT
(OR THE INITIAL DEPOSIT IN THE CIRCUMSTANCE WHERE BUYER'S DEFAULT IS ITS
FAILURE TO MAKE THE ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT WHEN AND IF REQUIRED BY THE TERMS OF
THIS AGREEMENT). SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND THE PROVISIONS OF THIS PARAGRAPH AND BY THEIR INITIALS IMMEDIATELY
BELOW AGREE TO BE BOUND BY ITS TERMS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SELLER
SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AGAINST BUYER CONCERNING THE ENFORCEMENT
OF BUYER'S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SURVIVING PROVISIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO SEEK INJUNCTIVE RELIEF, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE AND/OR
DAMAGES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH OBLIGATIONS.

shall thereupon be released from its obligations hereunder and thereunder) and
receive a return of the Deposit together with all interest thereon and (ii) all
other rights and remedies under law or equity, including the right to seek the
specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement and to recover
any and all damages suffered by Buyer by reason of Seller's default. In
addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall retain all rights and
remedies against Seller concerning the enforcement of Seller's obligations under
the Surviving Provisions under this Agreement, including the right to seek
injunctive relief, specific performance and/or damages with respect to such
obligations.
16. DAMAGE OR CONDEMNATION PRIOR TO CLOSING.

taking. In the event of any such non-material taking, Seller shall not
compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Buyer's prior
written consent not unreasonably withheld.

as set forth in this Agreement, and/or any Exhibits or documents delivered by
Seller at the Closing, the sale of the Property as provided for herein is
made on an "AS-IS" condition and basis and that Seller has not made, does not
make and specifically negates and disclaims any representations, warranties,
promises, covenants, agreements or guarantees of any kind or character
whatsoever, whether express or implied, oral or written, past, present or
future, of, as to, concerning or with respect to (a) the value, nature,
quality or condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the
water, soil and geology; (b) the income to be derived from the Property; (c)
the suitability of the Property for any and all activities and uses which
Buyer may conduct thereon; (d) the compliance of or by the Property or its

Buyer is relying solely on its own investigation of the Property and not on
any information provided or to be provided by Seller, except as set forth in
this Agreement, and/or any Exhibits or documents delivered by Seller at the
Closing. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that any information provided
or to be provided by or on behalf of Seller with respect to the Property was

-28-
21. ENTRY AND INDEMNIFICATION. During the term of the Escrow, upon
reasonable notice to Seller, Buyer, its agents, contractors and subcontractors
shall have the right (i) to enter upon the Property, at reasonable times during
ordinary business hours, to make any and all inspections and tests as Buyer
reasonably deems desirable and which may be accomplished without causing any
alteration or damage to the Property or interference with the occupants of the
Property, and (ii) to audit, examine and copy any and all books and records
maintained by Seller or its agents relating to receipts and expenditures
pertaining to the Property for 1994, 1995 and 1996. Buyer shall not conduct any
subsurface investigation of the Property unless, on the basis of the results of
Buyer's consultant's Phase I environmental report, Buyer's consultant reasonably
concludes that such investigation is recommended in order to determine whether
or not the Property has an environmental condition. Buyer may contact the major
department stores without prior authorization from or coordination with Seller.
Buyer may contact and interview other occupants, employees of Seller and
employees of Seller's Manager, only in the presence of a representative of
Seller; provided, however, Seller may waive this requirement with respect to
some or all occupants or employees and shall make a representative available for
such purposes at reasonable times at the Property for such purpose; further,
provided, however, that Buyer may not make offers of employment to any such
employees or indicate that it will or may make offers of employment to any such
employees until after the Contingency Date. Promptly on request, Seller shall
provide Buyer with an updated list of all employees of Seller, if any, and all
employees of Seller's Manager. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller and
the Property harmless from any and all costs, loss, damages or expenses, of any
kind or nature, arising out of or resulting from such entry and/or activities
upon the Property by Buyer, its agents, contractors and/or subcontractors,
including, without limitation, any inspection or test of the Property performed
by or for Buyer and any mechanics' liens that may be filed against the Property
as a result thereof, including, but not limited to, all inspections or tests
upon the Property made by Buyer, its agents, contractors or subcontractors prior
to the date of this Agreement. Buyer's obligations under the preceding sentence
shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow. Prior
to entry upon the Property and at all times thereafter while Buyer is conducting
any inspections of the Property pursuant to this Paragraph, Buyer shall maintain
commercial liability insurance covering the activities of Buyer and its agents,
contractors and subcontractors upon the Property, with a combined single limit
of at least Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for bodily and personal injury
and property damage. Such liability insurance shall name Seller as an additional
insured. Prior to entry upon the Property, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a
certificate of insurance evidencing that Buyer has obtained the insurance
required by this Paragraph, which certificate shall provide that the insurer
will give Seller at least (30) days written notice prior to any material change,
cancellation or non-renewal of the insurance policy. Such insurance shall be
primary, and any insurance maintained by Seller for its own protection shall be
secondary or excess and not contributing to the insurance maintained by Buyer
pursuant to this Paragraph.
22. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as may be required by law such as in
connection with real property transfer filings, Buyer agrees, until the Closing
occurs, to maintain the confidentiality of all information respecting the
Property (including the terms and provisions of this Agreement) received from
Seller, Seller's employees or agents or from Buyer's inspections; provided,
however, Buyer shall be permitted to disclose such information to its employees,
consultants, lenders, attorneys and/or agents responsible for this transaction
provided such third parties similarly maintain the confidentiality of such
information. Until the Closing occurs, neither Buyer nor Seller shall make any
general public statements or news releases, or any statements that may become
public, regarding this transaction except with the prior written consent of the
other party and only in coordination with the other party if such coordination
is requested.
23. CAPITAL EXPENDITURES. Repairs or improvements which must be made on an
emergency basis in the interests of safety or avoidance of imminent material
damage to the Improvements or to satisfy governmental or insurance requirements
are referred to herein as "EMERGENCY WORK" "CAPITAL EXPENDITURES" means those
expenditures regarded as capital expenditures in accordance with generally
accepted accounting procedures (consistently applied) and which are related to
the Property that Seller has actually incurred during the period between the
Opening of Escrow and the Close of Escrow, excluding, however, any expenditures
relating to (i) tenant improvement work, (ii) work commenced by Seller prior to
and continuing after the Opening of Escrow, and (iii) any work undertaken by
Seller to remedy a physical condition matter disapproved by Buyer pursuant to
Paragraph 5(a)(ii) above. Except for Emergency Work, Seller
-29-
shall notify Buyer of any work ("WORK") that Seller desires to commence after
the Opening of Escrow that will result in Capital Expenditures. Such notice
shall include a detailed description of the Work, the estimated cost of the Work
and a schedule of performance for the Work. Buyer shall have ten (10) days after
receipt of such notice to approve or disapprove the increase of the Purchase
Price by the lesser of the amount of the Capital Expenditures so estimated by
Seller or the actual cost of the Work or such lesser amount as may be specified
by Buyer, which approval or disapproval shall be in Buyer's reasonable
discretion. If Buyer fails to approve an increase of the Purchase Price by at
least the lesser of the estimated cost of the Work and the actual cost of the
Work, Seller may elect in its sole discretion whether or not to proceed with the
Work. The failure of Buyer to notify Seller of Buyer's approval or disapproval
within said ten (10) day period shall be deemed Buyer's approval of the proposed
Work. The Capital Expenditures which are approved pursuant to the foregoing are
referred to collectively as "APPROVED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES." Seller shall
provide Buyer copies of all invoices and receipts for all Approved Capital
Expenditures paid or incurred by Seller after the Opening of Escrow and,
provided the Work is completed by the Closing Date to Buyer's reasonable
satisfaction, the Purchase Price shall be increased by the amount of all
Approved Capital Expenditures actually paid for by Seller as evidenced by such
receipts. Any cost of the Work exceeding the amount of the Approved Capital
Expenditures and all other Capital Expenditures including any Emergency Work
shall be paid for by Seller without any increase in the Purchase Price.
24. ASSIGNMENT.
Neither party may assign, transfer or convey its rights or obligations
under this Agreement without the other party's prior written consent, which may
be withheld in such party's sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Buyer, without being relieved of liability hereunder and without
obtaining Seller's consent, shall have the right to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder or to nominate another person or entity in whom title to
the Property shall vest provided that (i) the assignee or nominee is a person or
entity that controls, is controlled by or under, controlled with Buyer, (ii) the
