accordance with their respective terms. Neither the execution,
delivery nor performance of the Documents by Seller shall (i)
violate or result in a breach of any provisions of Seller's
articles of incorporation or bylaws, (ii) constitute a default
or result in a breach of any contract or agreement to which
Seller is a party or its assets or properties are bound, (iii)
violate any order, writ, injunction, decree, judgment or other
restriction of any court, administrative agency or
governmental body, or (iv) subject to the receipt of all
consents contemplated by Section 4.8, violate any statute,
rule or regulation administered or promulgated by the
California Department of Real Estate, the Federal National
Mortgage Association, the Government National Mortgage
Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the
Federal Housing Administration or the Veterans Administration
(collectively, the "Agencies").
4.3. TITLE TO ASSETS. Seller has and will transfer to Buyer good
and marketable title to the Assets, free and clear of all
mortgages, pledges, security interests, liens, claims,
charges, restrictions and encumbrances except for the Assumed
Liabilities.
4.4. FURNITURE AND EQUIPMENT. Each of the items of Furniture and
Equipment set forth on the Schedule of Furniture and Equipment
are suitable for the purpose or purposes for which it is being
used and is in such good and proper condition and repair as to
permit the continued use by Buyer in accordance with its
intended purpose. The consideration allocated to the Furniture
and Equipment pursuant to Section 3.3 represents the
historical cost of the Furniture and Equipment less
depreciation through the Closing Date calculated on a straight
line method over the estimated useful life of the assets.
4.5. LEASES. All of the Leases set forth in the Schedule of Leases
are in full force and effect, and binding and enforceable in
accordance with their respective terms. Seller is not in
default under any of the Leases nor has there occurred any
event or condition which, with the passage of time or giving
of notice, would constitute a default by Seller under any
Lease. To Seller's best knowledge, the other parties to the
Leases have not defaulted under any Lease nor has there
occurred any event or condition which, with the passage of
time or giving of notice, would constitute a default by the
other party to any Lease. Seller has not received from any
other party to any Lease any claim of default by Seller or any
notice that the other party intends to cancel or terminate the
Lease.
4.6. MORTGAGE LOANS. All of the Mortgage Loans represent loans in
process for which neither Seller nor, to its knowledge, any
agent or broker acting on its behalf has entered into any
commitments or agreements.
4.7. NO GOVERNMENTAL OR OTHER PROCEEDING OR LITIGATION. No order of
any court or administrative agency is in effect which
restrains or prohibits the transactions contemplated hereby,
and no suit, action, investigation, inquiry or proceeding by
any governmental body or other person, or legal or
administrative proceeding has been instituted or threatened
which questions the validity or legality of the transactions
contemplated hereby. There are no actions or proceedings
pending or threatened arising out of or related to the Assets.
There is no voluntary action or proceeding affecting the
Assets pending or the commencement of which is contemplated by
Seller.
4.8. APPROVALS AND CONSENTS. Except for certain investor and agency
notices and consents which shall be delivered or obtained
prior to the Closing, there are no permits, consents or
approvals of public authorities, federal, state or local, or
of any third party necessary for the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby.
4.9. TAX MATTERS. Seller has duly filed all federal, state, local
and foreign tax returns and tax reports required to be filed,
and all such returns and reports are true and correct. All
federal, state, county, local or other taxes, including
without limitation, all income taxes, corporate franchise
taxes, property and ad valorem taxes, sales and use taxes and
license and payroll taxes, and all assessments, or
deficiencies and fees, interest, penalties or other
governmental charges relating thereto (collectively "Taxes"),
which are now due and payable by Seller have been paid. Seller
has no liability for any accrued, unpaid or deferred Taxes
that would be material in amount, and Seller has sufficient
working capital to provide for and will pay when due all such
accrued, unpaid or deferred Taxes. No examination is pending
by the Internal Revenue Service ("Service") or any other
taxing authority with respect to any of the tax returns or tax
reports of Seller. To the best knowledge of Seller, no state
of facts exists or has existed which would constitute grounds
for the assessment of any liability for Taxes with respect to
any taxable period. There are no outstanding agreements or
waivers extending the statutory period of limitation
applicable to any tax return or report for any taxable period.
Seller shall pay when due any and all Taxes, including,
without limitation, sales or use taxes, arising out of this
Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.

or Exhibit attached hereto or any other Document furnished or
to be furnished by Seller or any of its authorized
representatives to Buyer or any of its authorized
representatives is false or misleading or omits to state a
fact required to be stated therein in order to make any of the
statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made. There is no fact
known to Seller which adversely affects or in the future is
likely to adversely affect the Assets which has not been
described or set forth or referred to in this Agreement, any
Schedule or Exhibit hereto or any other Document.
4.11. INVESTMENT AND RELATED REPRESENTATIONS. Seller is aware that
neither the Shares nor the offer or sale thereof to Seller has
been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
("Act"), or under any state securities law. Seller understands
that the Shares will be characterized as "restricted"
securities under federal securities laws inasmuch as they are
being acquired in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations
such securities may be resold without registration under the
Act only in certain limited circumstances. Seller agrees that
Seller will not sell all or any portion of the Shares except
pursuant to registration under the Act or pursuant to an
available exemption from registration under the Act. Seller
understands and acknowledges that all certificates
representing the Shares shall bear the following legend or a
legend of similar import and that Buyer shall refuse to
transfer the Shares except in accordance with such
restrictions:
"THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE
"ACT"), OR UNDER CERTAIN STATE SECURITIES LAWS. NO SALE OR
TRANSFER OF THESE SHARES MAY BE MADE IN THE ABSENCE OF (1) AN
EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT OR (2) AN
OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT OR UNDER
APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED IN CONNECTION
WITH SUCH PROPOSED SALE OR TRANSFER."

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under
this Section 6.1.4 (the "Indemnified Party")
shall give notice to the party required to
provide indemnification (the "Indemnifying
Party") promptly after such Indemnified
Party has actual knowledge of any claim as
to which indemnity may be sought, provided,
that any failure to so notify an
Indemnifying Party shall not relieve such
party from any liability under this Section
6.1.4 to the extent it is not materially
prejudiced as a result thereof, and shall
permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the
defense of any such claim or any litigation
resulting therefrom, provided that counsel

litigation, shall be approved by the

in such action, in which case the fees and
expenses of counsel shall be at the expense
of the Indemnifying Party, provided that in
such event the Indemnifying Party shall not
be responsible for the fees of more than one
counsel to the Indemnified Parties). No
Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any
such claim or litigation, shall, except with
the consent of each Indemnified Party,
consent to entry of any judgment or enter
into any settlement which does not include
as an unconditional term thereof the giving
by the claimant or plaintiff to such
Indemnified Party of a release from all
liability in respect to such claim or
litigation. No Indemnifying Party shall be
liable for any settlement entered into
without its written consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld.
6.1.5. CONTRIBUTION.
(a) If the indemnification provided for in
Section 6.1.4 hereof is for any reason
unavailable to or insufficient to hold
harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of
any losses, liabilities, claims, damages or
expenses referred to therein, then each
Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the
aggregate amount of such losses,
liabilities, claims, damages and expenses
incurred by such Indemnified Party, as
incurred, (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits
received by the Holder on the one hand and
Buyer on the other hand from the offer and
sale of the Registered Securities pursuant
to this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation
provided by clause (i) is not permitted by
applicable law, in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the Holder on the
one hand and of Buyer on the other hand in
connection with the statements or omissions
which resulted in such losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations.
(b) The relative fault of Buyer on the one hand
and the Holder on the other hand shall be
determined by reference to, among other
things, whether any such untrue or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact or
omission or alleged omission to state a
material fact relates to information
supplied by Buyer or by the Holder and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access
to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such statement or omission.
(c) The Company and the Holder agree that it
would not be just and equitable if a
contribution pursuant to this Section 6.1.5
were determined by pro rata allocation or by
any other method of allocation which does
not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to above. The
aggregate amount of losses, liabilities,
claims, damages and expenses incurred by an
Indemnified Party and referred to above in
this Section 6.1.5 shall be deemed to
include any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such Indemnified
Party in investigating, preparing or
defending against any litigation, or any
investigation or proceeding by any
governmental agency or body, commenced or
threatened, or any claim whatsoever based
upon any such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission.
6.1.6. INFORMATION BY HOLDER. Each Holder of Registrable
Securities shall furnish to Buyer such information
regarding such Holder, such Holder's Registrable
Securities and such Holder's intended method of
disposition as Buyer may from time to time reasonably
request; provided that such information shall be used
only in connection with such registration.
(a) DUTY TO UPDATE. If the registration
statement covering the Registrable
Securities refers to any Holder by name or
otherwise as the Holder of any securities of
Buyer, then such Holder shall promptly (i)
notify Buyer and its counsel of the
existence of any fact of which such Holder
becomes aware and the happening of any event
which relates to Holder or the distribution
of the securities owned by such Holder which
results in the registration statement
containing an untrue statement of material
fact or omitting to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary
to make any statements therein not
misleading, or the prospectus included in
such registration statement containing an
untrue statement of material fact or
omitting to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make
any statements therein, in light of the
circumstances under which they were made,
not misleading, and (ii) provide to Buyer
such information which relates to Holder or
the distribution of the securities owned by
such Holder as shall be necessary to enable
Buyer to prepare a supplement or
post-effective amendment to such
registration statement or related prospectus
or any document incorporated therein by
reference or file any other documents
required so that such registration statement
will not contain any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state a material
fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, and such prospectus shall not
include an untrue statement of a material
fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary
to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were

Securities agrees that, upon receipt of any notice
from Buyer of the happening of any of the following:

or any other federal, or state governmental authority for post-effective
amendments or supplements to a registration statement or related prospectus
covering the Registrable Securities, or for additional information relating
thereto;
(ii) any issuance by the Commission of any stop order
suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the
Registrable Securities or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;
(iii) the receipt by Buyer of any notification with
respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the
initiation or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; or
(iv) the happening of any event that makes any
statement made in any registration statement covering the Registrable Securities
or prospectus relating thereto or any document incorporated or deemed to be
incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that
requires the making of any changes in such registration statement, prospectus or
documents so that, in the case of the registration statement, it will not
contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material
fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and that in the case of the prospectus, it will not contain any
untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;
such Holder shall forthwith discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities
pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities
until such Holder's receipt from Buyer of copies of a supplemented or amended
prospectus and, if so directed by Buyer, such Holder shall deliver to Buyer (at
Buyer's expense) all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in such
Holder's possession of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities which
is current at the time of receipt of such notice. If Buyer shall give any such
notice, Buyer shall extend the period during which such Registration Statement
shall be maintained effective pursuant to this Agreement by the number of days
in excess of ten (10) business days during the period from and including the
date of the giving of such notice pursuant to Section __ (e) to and including
the date when the Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or
amended prospectus.
6.1.8. SELECTION OF UNDERWRITERS. In the event that any
Holder elects to engage an underwriter in connection
with the sale of any Registered Securities, the
selection of such underwriter shall be subject to the
prior approval of Buyer, in its sole discretion,
provided, however, that such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld.
6.1.9. RULE 144. The Company covenants that, for the two
years following the Closing Date, it shall (a) file
any reports required to be filed by it under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules and
regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder; (b)
make and keep public information available as those
terms are understood and defined in Rule 144; and (c)
take such further action as each Holder of
Registrable Securities may reasonably request
(including providing any information necessary to
comply with Rules 144 and 144A), all to the extent
required from time to time to enable such Holder to
sell Registrable Securities without registration
under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions
provided by (i) Rule 144 or Rule 144A, as such rules
may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar
rules or regulations hereafter adopted by the

any Holder of Registrable Securities, deliver to such
Holder a written statement as to whether it has
