Purchaser approves the Surveys, the Title Reports, and the results of the UCC
Search, then all matters showing thereon shall be deemed "Permitted Exceptions."
If Purchaser disapproves any matters in the Surveys, the Title Reports, or the
UCC Search, then Seller may either cure such matters, in which case the
remaining matters approved by Purchaser shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions, or
notify Purchaser that it has elected not to cure such matters. Any such notice
by Seller shall be given to Purchaser not later than five (5) days following the
date Purchaser notifies Seller of any objectionable title matters. If Seller
elects not to cure any matter which has been disapproved by Purchaser, then

amount of any rent abatement shall be deducted from the Purchase Price and

not so satisfied, this condition shall be deemed waived by Purchaser. Purchaser
shall not be required to give its reasons for terminating this Agreement
pursuant to this Paragraph, and Purchaser's notice shall be conclusive evidence
that it is dissatisfied with the Properties. It is understood and agreed, and
Purchaser hereby acknowledges, that the period of time afforded by this section
of the Agreement (the "Inspection Period") should be ample time to review and
inspect the condition of the Properties and that if, for any reason, it is
dissatisfied with the condition of the Properties or with the information
provided or available to Purchaser within the Inspection Period, it has the
unrestricted right to terminate this Agreement and receive a return of its
Earnest Money. Accordingly, in the event that Purchaser does not terminate this
Agreement and proceeds beyond the expiration of the Inspection Period, it is
understood and agreed that the Properties are being sold
- 18 -
"as is," "where is" and "with all faults," except as set forth in Section 3.
Purchaser further agrees and confirms that it is not relying on information
other than the financial statements and other information supplied during the
Inspection Period and Seller makes no representation or warranty whatsoever as

Section 3.

not as a default), Purchaser shall have until June 30, 1998 to obtain a

financing in an amount of not less than 90% of the Purchase Price of the

until July 15, 1998 (i) to perform its due diligence (including, without
limitation, reviewing the Surveys, the Title Reports, and the results of the UCC
Search, and to otherwise satisfy itself that all conditions to loan funding are
satisfied), (ii) to prepare and approve loan documentation acceptable to the
lender and Purchaser, and (iii) to satisfy itself that all conditions to loan
funding have been satisfied (conditions (i), (ii) and (iii) referred to as the
"Lender's Conditions"). If Purchaser does not notify Seller in writing on or
prior to July 15, 1998 that it has not obtained the Lender's Commitment, or that
Purchaser's lender has not satisfied the Lender's Conditions, then the
conditions of this subsection (5) shall be deemed waived by Purchaser. If
Purchaser notifies Seller in writing on or prior to July 15, 1998 that it has
not obtained the Lender's Commit ment or that Purchaser's lender has not
satisfied the Lender's Conditions, then this Agreement shall become null and
void and terminated, with neither Purchaser nor Seller having any further
obligation to consummate this Agreement or any liability to the other party for
the failure of this Agreement. On any such termination of this Agreement,
Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of its Earnest Money.

condition in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of
Seller's right, title and interest in and to any proceeds resulting from any
such proceeding.
(7) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to perform hereunder, that
as of the Closing Date, the Property Agreements shall be in full force and
effect, unmodified and unwaived, and in good standing and free from default, and
there shall be no material changes in the operation of the Properties.
(8) As a condition to Purchaser's obligation to perform hereunder (and
not as a default), Seller shall obtain the consent or approval, at its sole cost
and expense, of all necessary consents to assign all of Seller's right, title,
and interest in and to the Franchise Agreements to Purchaser (or its designee)
provided, however, that Purchaser, not Seller, shall be responsible for paying
any application or related fee imposed by the franchisor under the franchise
agreement chargeable to new franchisees. The consents and approvals required
under this paragraph shall be in a form reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.
(9) Seller covenants and agrees, and it shall be a condition to
Purchaser's obligation to perform its undertakings hereunder, that from and
after the date hereof, at all reasonable times, Purchaser (and its agents) shall
be permitted access to the Properties and to all books, records and reports
relating to the Properties for the purpose of inspecting same, and Purchaser
(and its agents) shall have the right to photocopy any and all such books,
records and information. All information relating to the Properties made
available to Purchaser and its agents shall be treated as confidential.
Purchaser (and its agents) shall also have the right to meet with GMS and its
officers and employees to discuss any matters relating to the operation of the
- 20 -
Properties. Any entry by Purchaser and its agents on the Properties shall be
upon reasonable prior notice to Seller, and the Purchaser will indemnify and
hold Seller harmless against any and all injuries, claims, losses, damages and
expenses arising out of its negligence in the performance of any such entry,
inspection or other activities.

not as a default), no written notices of any violation of building codes or
other govern mental regulations have been issued.
(11) As a condition to Seller's obligation to perform hereunder, Seller
shall have obtained the approval by Seller's limited partners (1) to sell the
Properties to Purchaser pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and (2) to take
all other actions necessary or appropriate to consummate the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement.
(12) As a condition to Seller's obligation to perform hereunder, Seller
shall have received, in a form satisfactory to GMS, on or before June 30, 1998,
a fairness opinion from PKF Consulting, San Francisco, or other qualified
independent real estate advisory or investment banking firm, to the effect that
the sale of the Properties to Purchaser pursuant to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to Seller. If Seller
notifies Purchaser in writing on or prior to June 30, 1998, that is has not
obtained a fairness opinion satisfactory to GMS, then this Agreement shall
become null and void, with neither Purchaser nor Seller having any further
obligation to consummate this Agreement or any liability to the other party for
the failure of this Agreement. If the Agreement is terminated as aforesaid, then
Purchaser shall be entitled to a return of its Earnest Money.

SECTION 15: MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement (including all Exhibits hereto) contains the entire
agreement between the parties respecting the matters herein set forth and

matters. The table of contents and section headings shall not be used in

remedy conferred upon a party in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of
any other remedy herein or by law provided or permitted, but each shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now
or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. Except as herein
expressly provided, no waiver by a party of any breach of this Agreement or of
any warranty or representation hereunder by the other party shall be deemed to
be a waiver of any other breach by such other party (whether preceding or
succeeding and whether or not of the same or similar nature) and no acceptance
of payment or performance by a party after any breach by the other party shall
be deemed to be a waiver of any breach of this Agreement or of any
representation or warranty hereunder by such other party whether or not the
first party knows of such breach at the time it accepts such payment or
performance. No failure or delay by a
- 36 -
party to exercise any right it may have by reason of the default of the other
party shall operate as a waiver of default or modification of this Agreement or
shall prevent the exercise of any right by the first party while the other party
continues to be so in default. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with the laws of the State of California. Purchaser may assign its
rights under this Agreement to an affiliate of Purchaser without the prior
written consent of Seller (in which event the transferee shall assume in writing
all of the transferor's obligations hereunder). Subject to the preceding
sentence, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. The provisions

modification is sought.
