Escrow Holder shall close this escrow (the "Closing") by recording the grant
deed and other documents required to be recorded and by disbursing the funds and

8.4 If this transaction is terminated for non-satisfaction and non-
waiver of a Buyer's Contingency, as defined in paragraph 9.4, or for non-
satisfaction and non-waiver of a
-4-

refunds shall be returned to a party claimed by written notice to Escrow Holder
to be in default under this Agreement.
8.7 Except as otherwise provided herein, the termination of Escrow
and this Agreement and/or the return of deposited funds or documents shall not
relieve or release either Buyer or Seller from any obligation to pay Escrow
Holder's fees and costs or constitute a waiver, release or discharge of any
breach or default that has occurred in the performance of the obligations,
agreements, covenants or warranties contained herein.
8.8 If this Agreement terminates for any reason other than Seller's
breach or default, then at Seller's request, and as a condition to the return of
Buyer's deposit, provided that Buyer is entitled to the deposit pursuant to the

deliver to Seller, at no charge, copies of all surveys, engineering studies,
soil reports, maps, master plans, feasibility studies and other similar items
prepared by or for Buyer that pertain to the Property.
9. Contingencies to Closing.
9.1 The Closing of this transaction is contingent upon the
satisfaction or waiver of the following contingencies:
(a) Disclosure. Buyer's receipt and written approval, within forty-
five (45) days after delivery to Buyer, of a completed Property Information
Sheet (the "Property Information Sheet"), concerning the Property, duly executed
by or on behalf of Seller in the current form or equivalent to that published by
the American Industrial Real Estate Association (the "A.I.R."). Seller shall
provide Buyer with the Property Information Sheet within ten (10) days following
the Date of Agreement. See also paragraph 2.5 for possible additional
disclosure and contingency regarding a "Commercial Property Earthquake Weakness
Disclosure Report."
-5-
(b) Physical Inspection. Buyer's written approval, within forty-five
(45) days following the later of the Date of Agreement or receipt by Buyer of
the Property Information Sheet, of an inspection by Buyer, at Buyer's expense,
of the physical aspects of the Property.
(c) Hazardous Substance Conditions Reports. Buyer's written approval,
within forty-five (45) days following the later of the Date of Agreement or
receipt by Buyer of the Property Information Sheet, of a Hazardous Substance
Conditions Report concerning the Property and relevant adjoining properties.
Such report will be obtained at Buyer's direction and expense. A "Hazardous
Substance" for purposes of this Agreement is defined as any substance whose
nature and/or quantity of existence, use, manufacture, disposal or effect,
render it subject to Federal, state or local regulation, investigation,
remediation or removal as potentially injurious to public health or welfare. A
"Hazardous Substance Condition" for purposes of this Agreement is defined as the
existence on, under or relevantly adjacent to the Property of a Hazardous
Substance that would require remediation and/or removal under applicable
Federal, state or local law. Seller shall use its best efforts to provide to
Buyer copies of any existing environmental reports (including, but not limited
to, Phase I reports) that Seller may have. Seller's performance of this request
shall not be a condition to the Closing nor shall any delay in the performance
of this request extend such forty-five (45) day period.
(d) Soil Inspection. Buyer's written approval, within forty-five (45)
days after the later of the Date of Agreement or receipt by Buyer of the
Property Information Sheet, of a soil test report concerning the Property. Said
report shall be obtained at Buyer's direction and expense. Seller shall
promptly provide to Buyer copies of any existing soils reports that Seller may
have. Seller's performance of this request shall not be a condition to the
Closing nor shall any delay in the performance of this request extend such
forty-five (45) day period.
(e) Governmental Approvals. Buyer's receipt, within forty-five (45)
days of the Date of Agreement, of all approvals and permits from governmental
agencies or departments which have or may have jurisdiction over the Property
which Buyer deems necessary or desirable in connection with its intended use of
the Property, including, but not limited to, permits and approvals required with
respect to zoning, planning, building and safety, fire, police, handicapped
access, transportation and environmental matters. Buyer's failure to deliver to
Escrow Holder and Seller written notice terminating this Agreement prior to the
expiration of said forty-five (45) day period as a result of Buyer's failure to
obtain such approvals and permits shall be conclusively deemed to be Buyer's
waiver of this condition to Buyer's obligations under this Agreement.
(f) Condition of Title. Buyer's written approval of a current
preliminary title report concerning the Property (the "PTR") issued by the Title
Company, as well as all documents (the "Underlying Documents") referred to in
the PTR, and the issuance by the Title Company of the title policy described in
10.1. Seller shall cause the PTR and all Underlying Documents to be delivered
to Buyer promptly after the Date of Agreement. Buyer's approval is to be given
within forty-five (45) days after receipt of said PTR and legible copies of all
Underlying Documents. The disapproval by Buyer of any monetary encumbrance,
which by the terms of this Agreement is not to remain against the Property after
the Closing, shall not be considered a failure of this condition, as Seller
shall have the obligation, at Seller's expense, to satisfy and remove such
disapproved monetary encumbrance at or before the Closing, provided that Seller
shall not be required to remove a lien to secure payment of real property taxes
and assessments, not delinquent
-6-
nor required to remove the lien of supplemental taxes pursuant to Chapter 3.5
commencing with section 75 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code.
(g) Survey. Buyer's written approval within forty-five (45) days
after receipt of the PTR and Underlying Documents, of an ALTA title supplement
based upon a survey prepared to American Land Title Association (the "ALTA")
standards for an owner's policy by a licensed surveyor, showing the legal
description and boundary lines of the Property, any easements of record, and any
improvements, poles, structures and things located within ten (10) feet either
side of the Property boundary lines. The survey shall be prepared at Buyer's
direction and expense. If Buyer has obtained a survey and approved the ALTA
title supplement, Buyer may elect within the period allowed for Buyer's approval
of a survey to have an ALTA extended coverage owner's form of title policy, in
which event Buyer shall pay any additional premium attributable thereto, and
Buyer shall pay the cost of any endorsements to the owner's form policy of title
insurance as reasonably requested by Buyer. Seller shall use its best efforts
to provide to Buyer copies of any existing surveys that Seller may have.
Seller's performance of this request shall not be a condition to the Closing nor
shall any delay in the performance of this request extend such forty-five (45)
day period.
(h) THIS SECTION INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
(i) Other Agreements. Buyer's written approval, within ten (10) days
after receipt, a copy of any other agreements ("Other Agreements") known to
Seller that will affect the Property beyond the Closing. Seller shall cause
said copies to be delivered to Buyer promptly after the Date of Agreement.
(j) Financing. If paragraph 5 hereof dealing with a financing
contingency has not been stricken, the satisfaction or waiver of such New Loan
contingency.
(k) THIS SECTION INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
(l) Destruction, Damage or Loss. There shall not have occurred prior
to the Closing, a destruction of, or damage or loss to, the Property or any
portion thereof, from any cause whatsoever, which would cost more than
$10,000.00 to repair or cure. If the cost of repair or cure is $10,000.00 or
less, Seller shall repair or cure the loss prior to the Closing. Buyer shall
have the option, within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice of a loss
costing more than $10,000.00 to repair or cure, to either terminate this
transaction or to purchase the Property notwithstanding such loss, but without
deduction or offset against the Purchase Price. If the cost to repair or cure
is more than $10,000.00, and Buyer does not elect to terminate this transaction,
Buyer shall be entitled to any insurance proceeds applicable to such loss.
Unless otherwise notified in writing by either Party or Broker, Escrow Holder
shall assume no destruction, damage or loss costing more than $10,000.00 to
repair or cure has occurred prior to Closing.
(m) Material Change. No Material Change, as hereinafter defined,
shall have occurred with respect to the Property that has not been approved in
writing by Buyer. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Material Change" shall be
a change in the status of the use, occupancy, tenants, or condition of the
Property as reasonably expected by the Buyer, that occurs after the date of this
offer and prior to the Closing. Buyer shall have ten (10) days following
receipt of written notice from any source of any such Material Change within
which to approve or
-7-
disapprove same. Unless otherwise notified in writing by either Party or Broker,
Escrow Holder shall assume that no Material Change has occurred prior to the
Closing.
(n) Seller Performance. The delivery of all documents and the
due performance by Seller of each and every undertaking and agreement to be
performed by Seller under this Agreement.
(o) Breach of Warranty. That each representation and warranty of
Seller herein be true and correct as of the Closing. Escrow Holder shall assume
that this condition has been satisfied unless notified to the contrary in
writing by Buyer or Broker(s) prior to the Closing. Notwithstanding anything in
the Agreement to the contrary, the representations and warranties of Seller set
forth in paragraph 12.1 shall be deemed remade by Seller as of the Closing with
the same force and effect as if in fact made at that time subject to any
disclosures made in writing pursuant to the provisions set forth immediately
below. Buyer agrees that if, at any time prior to the Closing, it has
knowledge of any information which would require the qualification of any of
Seller's representations and warranties for such representation and warranty to
be true, it shall immediately notify Seller in writing of such information. If
Buyer has knowledge of the incorrectness of any representation and warranty made
by Seller in this Agreement and fails to so notify Seller prior to the Closing,
then such representation or warranty shall be deemed to be stricken from this
Agreement and shall be of no further force or effect. When the representations
and warranties set forth in Paragraph 12.1 are remade by Seller as of the
Closing, Seller shall have the right to qualify such representations and
warranties with any information it receives concerning such representations and
warranties after the Date of Agreement. Within seven (7) business days of the
date Seller has notified Buyer in writing that it will be necessary to
materially qualify any of the representations and warranties set forth in
Paragraph 12.1 when they are restated as of the Closing, Buyer must elect, by a
writing received by Seller and Escrow Holder within such two (2) day period, to
either (1) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow, in which event the Deposit
shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations
or liabilities under this Agreement, except for the indemnity obligations of
Buyer contained in the Agreement which indemnities shall survive any such
termination, or (ii) proceed with the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement, in which event the representations and warranties set forth in
Paragraph 12.1 shall be qualified when remade on the Closing as provided above.
In the event that Seller does not receive such written notification from Buyer
within such two (2) day period indicating which election Buyer has decided to
make, then Buyer will be deemed to have elected to proceed with the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement, with the representations and warranties set
forth in Paragraph 12.1 qualified when remade as of the Closing.
(p) Broker's Fee. Payment at the Closing of such Broker's Fee as
is specified in this Agreement or later written instructions to Escrow Holder
executed by Seller and Broker(s). It is agreed by Buyer, Seller and Escrow
Holder that Broker(s) is/are a third party beneficiary of this Agreement insofar
as the Broker's fee is concerned, and that no change shall be made by Buyer,
Seller or Escrow Holder with respect to the time of payment, amount of payment,
or the conditions to payment of the Broker's fee specified in this Agreement,
without the written consent of Broker(s).
9.2 All of the contingencies specified in sub-paragraphs (a) through
(o) of paragraph 9.1 are for the benefit of, and may be waived by, Buyer, in
writing, and may be elsewhere herein referred to as "Buyer Contingencies."
-8-
9.3 THIS SECTION INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.
9.4 If any Buyer's Contingency is not satisfied or if Buyer
disapproves any matter subject to its approval within the time period applicable
thereto ("Disapproved Item"), Seller shall have the right within ten (10) days
following the expiration of the time period applicable to such Buyer Contingency
or receipt of notice of Buyer's disapproval, as the case may be, to elect to
cure such Disapproved Item prior to the Expected Closing Date ("Seller's
Election"). Seller's failure to give to Buyer within said ten (10) day period,
written notice of Seller's commitment to cure such Disapproved Item on or before
the Expected Closing Date shall be conclusively presumed to be Seller's Election
not to cure such Disapproved Item. If Seller elects, either by written notice
or failure to give written notice, not to cure a Disapproved Item, Buyer shall
have the election, within ten (10) days after Seller's Election to either accept
title to the Property subject to that Disapproved Item, or to terminate this
transaction. Buyer's failure to elect termination by written notice to Seller
within said ten (10) day period shall constitute Buyer's election to accept
title to the Property subject to that Disapproved Item without deduction or
offset. Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, Seller's right to cure
shall not apply to Hazardous Substance Conditions referenced in paragraph 9.1(c)
or to the Financing Contingency set forth in paragraph 5. Unless the parties
mutually instruct otherwise, if the time periods for the satisfaction of
contingencies or for Seller's and Buyer's said Elections would expire on a date
after the Expected Closing Date, the Expected Closing Date shall be deemed
extended to coincide with the expiration of three (3) business days following
the expiration of: (a) the applicable contingency period(s), (b) the period
within which the Seller may elect to cure the Disapproved Item, or (c) if Seller
elects not to cure, the period within which Buyer may elect to terminate this
transaction, whichever is later.
9.5 Buyer understands and agrees that until such time as all Buyer's
Contingencies have been satisfied or waived, Seller and/or its agents may
solicit, entertain and/or accept back-up offers to purchase the subject Property
in the event the transaction covered by this Agreement is not consummated.
9.6 As defined in subparagraph 9.1(c), Buyer and Seller acknowledge
that extensive local, state and Federal legislation establish broad liability
upon owners and/or users of real property for the investigation and remediation
of a Hazardous Substance Condition. The determination of the existence of a
Hazardous Substance Condition and the evaluation of the impact of such a
condition are highly technical and beyond the expertise of Broker(s). Buyer and
Seller acknowledge that they have been advised by Broker(s) to consult their own
technical and legal experts with respect to the possible Hazardous Substance
Condition aspects of this Property or adjoining properties, and Buyer and Seller
are not relying upon any investigation by or statement of Broker(s) with respect
thereto. Buyer and Seller hereby assume all responsibility for the impact of
such Hazardous Substance Conditions upon their respective interests herein.
10. Documents Required at Closing:
10.1 Escrow Holder shall cause to be issued to Buyer a standard
coverage (or ALTA extended, if so elected under paragraph 9.1(f)) owner's form
policy of title insurance effective as of the Closing, issued by the Title
Company in the full amount of the Purchase Price, insuring title to the Property
vested in Buyer, subject only to the exceptions approved by Buyer, to a lien to
secure payment of real property taxes and assessments, not delinquent, to the
lien of supplemental taxes pursuant to Chapter 3.5 commencing with Section 75 of
the California Revenue and Taxation Code
-9-
(collectively, the "Approved Condition of Title"). In the event there is a
Purchase Money Deed of Trust in this transaction, the policy of title insurance
shall be a joint protection policy insuring both Buyer and Seller.
"IMPORTANT: IN A PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE OF REAL PROPERTY, IT MAY BE
ADVISABLE TO OBTAIN TITLE INSURANCE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CLOSE OF ESCROW SINCE

IN ORDER TO ENSURE YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THAT YOU ARE ACQUIRING."

reasonably satisfactory to Buyer at least three (3) business days prior to the
Closing, Escrow Holder shall at the Closing deduct from Seller's proceeds and
remit to Internal Revenue Service such sum as is required by applicable Federal
law with respect to purchases from foreign sellers.

escrow:

Buyer's escrow charges and other cash charges, if any, shall be deposited by
Buyer with Escrow Holder, by cashier's check drawn upon a local major baking
institution, federal funds wire transfer, or any other method acceptable to
Escrow Holder as immediately collectible funds, no later than 11:00 o'clock A.M.
on the business day prior to the Expected Closing Date.
(b) If a Purchase Money Note and Purchase Money Deed of Trust
are called for by this Agreement, the duly executed originals of those
documents, the Purchase Money Deed of Trust being in recordable form, together
with evidence of fire insurance on the
-10-
improvements in the amount of the full replacement cost naming Seller as a
mortgage loss payee, and a real estate tax service contract (at Buyer's
expense), assuring Seller of notice of the status of payment of real property
taxes during the life of the Purchase Money Note.
(c) The assumption portion of the Assignment and Assumption of
Lessor's Interest in Lease form specified in paragraph 10.2(c), above, duly

26. Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.
-16-
26.1 The Parties and Broker(s) agree that their relationship(s)
shall be governed by the principles set forth in California Civil Code, Section
2375, as summarized in the following paragraph 26.2.
26.2 When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent
regarding a real estate transaction, a Buyer or Seller should from the outset
understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the
agent or agents in the transaction. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised
by the Broker(s) in this transaction, as follows:
(a) Seller's Agent. A Seller's agent under a listing agreement
with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only. A Seller's agent or
subagent has the following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Seller: a
fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with
the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: (i) Diligent exercise of reasonable
skill and care in performance of the agent's duties, (ii) a duty of honest and
fair dealing and good faith, (iii) a duty to disclose all facts known to the
agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are
not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties.
An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information
obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set
forth above.
(b) Buyer's Agent. A selling agent can, with a Buyer's consent,
agree to act as agent for the Buyer only. In these situations, the agent is not
the Seller's agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for
services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller. An agent acting
only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations. (1) To the Buyer: A
fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with
the Buyer. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: (i) diligent exercise of reasonable
skill and care in performance of the agent's duties, (ii) a duty of honest and
fair dealing and good faith, (iii) a duty to disclose all facts known to the
agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are
not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties.
An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information
obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set
forth above.
(c) Agent Representing Both Seller and Buyer. A real estate
agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can
legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only
with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. (1) In a dual
agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both
the Seller and the Buyer: (i) a fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity,
honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer, (ii) other
duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections
(a) or (b) of this paragraph 26.2. (2) In representing both Seller and Buyer,
the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party,
disclose to the other Party that the Seller will accept a price less than the
listing price or that the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered.
(3) The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a
Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer
and Seller should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately
express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person
qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired,
consult a competent professional.
(d) Further Disclosures. Throughout this transaction Buyer and
Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents
assisting in the
-17-
transaction. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents each time it is
presented, considering the relationship between them and the real estate agent
in this transaction and that disclosure.
26.3 Confidential Information: Buyer and Seller agree to identify to
Broker(s) as "Confidential" any communication or information given Broker(s)
that is considered by such Party to be confidential.
27. Additional Provisions: Additional provisions of this offer, if any,
are as follows or are attached hereto by an addendum consisting of paragraphs 28
through 33. (It will be presumed no other provisions are included unless
specified here.) Rider to Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow Instructions for
the Purchase of Real Estate; California Sale/Lease Americans with Disabilities
Act, Hazardous Materials and Tax Disclosure.
BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE BEEN AND ARE NOW ADVISED BY
THE BROKER(S) TO CONSULT AND RETAIN THEIR OWN EXPERTS TO ADVISE AND REPRESENT
THEM CONCERNING THE LEGAL AND INCOME TAX EFFECTS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AS WELL AS
THE CONDITION AND/OR LEGALITY OF THE PROPERTY, THE IMPROVEMENTS AND EQUIPMENT
THEREIN, THE SOIL THEREOF, THE CONDITION OF TITLE THERETO, THE SURVEY THEREOF,
THE ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS THEREOF, THE INTENDED AND/OR PERMITTED USAGE THEREOF,
THE EXISTENCE AND NATURE OF TENANCIES THEREIN, THE OUTSTANDING OTHER AGREEMENTS,
IF ANY, WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND THE EXISTING OR CONTEMPLATED FINANCING
THEREOF, AND THAT THE BROKER(S) IS/ARE NOT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PURSUING THE
INVESTIGATION OF ANY SUCH MATTERS UNLESS EXPRESSLY OTHERWISE AGREED TO IN
WRITING BY BROKER(S) AND BUYER OR SELLER.
THIS FORM IS NOT FOR USE IN CONNECTION
WITH THE SALE OF RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY.
If this Agreement has been filled in, it has been prepared for submission
to your attorney for his approval. No representation or recommendation is made
by the real estate Broker(s) or their agents or employees as to the legal
sufficiency, legal effect, or tax consequences of this Agreement or the
transaction involved herein. The undersigned Buyer offers and agrees to buy the
property on the terms and conditions stated and acknowledges receipt of a copy
