PURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT, made as of September 9, 1999, by and between TRINET
ESSENTIAL FACILITIES XII, INC., a Maryland corporation ("Seller"), and NETWORK
APPLIANCE, INC., a California corporation ("Buyer"),
W I T N E S S E T H:
In consideration of the covenants in this Agreement, Seller and Buyer
agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1
Purchase and Sale
1.1 The Property. Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to
purchase from Seller, in accordance with this Agreement, the real property in
the City of Sunnyvale, County of Santa ▇▇▇▇▇, State of California, commonly
known as ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, described in Exhibit A
attached hereto, together with the improvements on such real property, the
easements and rights appurtenant to such real property, and Seller's interest in
the Lease, dated May 5, 1978, between Lockheed ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Corporation, a Maryland
corporation ("Tenant"), as successor to Ford Aerospace and Communications
Corporation, as tenant, and The Prudential Insurance Company of America, as
landlord, together with all amendments and ancillary agreements thereto (the
"Lease"), pertaining to such real property (all such real property,
improvements, easements, rights and Seller's interest in the Lease are
collectively the "Property").
1.2 Property Approval Period.
(a) During the period from the date of this Agreement to the date thirty
(30) days after the date of this Agreement (the "Property Approval Period"),
Buyer shall, in good faith and with diligence, at Buyer's expense, review and
investigate the physical and environmental condition of the Property, the
character, quality and general utility of the Property, the zoning, land use,
environmental and building requirements and restrictions applicable to the
Property, the state of title to the Property, and the Lease. Buyer shall
determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Buyer within the Property
Approval Period. If, during the Property Approval Period, Buyer determines, in
Buyer's sole discretion, that the Property is not acceptable, Buyer shall have
the right, by giving notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Property
Approval Period, to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer exercises the right to
terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, this Agreement
shall terminate as of the date such termination notice is given by Buyer, in
which event the Deposit (as hereinafter defined) and all interest thereon shall
be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this
Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect, and Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this section 1.2.
-1-

(b) Prior to the date of this Agreement Seller has delivered to Buyer,
and Buyer acknowledges receipt of, all of the items listed on Exhibit B attached
hereto which Seller is required to deliver. During the Property Approval Period,
subject to the rights of Tenant set forth in the Lease, Seller shall provide
Buyer and Buyer's representatives with access to the Property pursuant to, and
subject to the terms and conditions of, the Access Agreement dated September 3,
1999, among Buyer, Seller and Tenant. Buyer acknowledges that the materials
relating to the Property to be furnished by Seller to Buyer contain confidential
and proprietary information. Buyer agrees to keep all such information
confidential and not to disclose any such information to any third party except
to the extent necessary to carry out the responsibilities of Buyer pursuant to
this section 1.2 or to obtain financing for the Property. If Buyer exercises the
right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, Buyer
shall, within five (5) days after the termination date, return to Seller all
materials relating to the Property theretofore furnished by Seller and all
copies thereof.
(c) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller
harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, arising from
any entry on the Property by Buyer or any of Buyer's representatives. The
foregoing indemnification covenant shall survive any termination of this
Agreement. Buyer shall, promptly after completion thereof, provide Seller with
copies of all studies, tests, reports and other documents or materials relating
to the Property that are prepared, conducted or made by, for or on behalf of
Buyer.
(d) Buyer acknowledges receipt of a Preliminary Title Report respecting
the Property dated August 26, 1999 (the "Preliminary Report") issued by First
American Title Company (the "Title Company"), together with copies of all
exception documents referred to therein. Buyer shall have the right to object in
writing, delivered to Seller no later than the date fifteen (15) days after the
date of this Agreement, to any exception listed in the Preliminary Report (a
"Challenged Exception"). Any such exception which Buyer does not so object to
shall be a Permitted Exception deemed approved by Buyer. Seller shall have the
right, but no obligation, by notice to Buyer delivered within ten (10) days
after Buyer's objection notice, to agree to cause any Challenged Exception to be
removed from title or insured over by the Title Company. Except as Buyer and
Seller may otherwise agreed in writing, by failing to terminate this Agreement
in accordance with section 1.2(a), Buyer shall be deemed to have approved any
Challenged Exception as to which Seller does not so agree to cause the removal
or insurance over, and such Challenged Exceptions shall be Permitted Exceptions.
Buyer shall accept title to the Property subject to the following (collectively,
the "Permitted Exceptions"): (a) the items listed as exceptions in the
Preliminary Report which Buyer approves or is deemed hereunder to have approved,
(b) any matter which would be disclosed by a current ALTA/ACSM survey or a
physical inspection of the Property and (c) any other matters created, permitted
or approved (or deemed approved) by Buyer. If on or prior to the Closing Date,
Buyer discovers the existence of any exception to title which is not a Permitted
Exception and which is not disclosed by the Preliminary Report (a "New
Exception"), Buyer may, by giving notice to Seller within three (3) business
days of such discovery, object to any such New Exception. Buyer shall be deemed
to have approved any such New Exception unless Buyer objects to any title
exception in accordance with this section 1.2(d). If Buyer makes any such
objection, Seller may, by giving notice to Buyer within three (3) business days
after receipt of such objection, elect either to remove such New Exception or
not to remove such New
-2-
6
Exception. Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove any such New
Exception unless Seller elects to remove any such New Exception in accordance
with this section 1.2. If Seller elects not to remove any New Exception to which
Buyer shall have timely objected, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by notice
to Seller delivered within two (2) business days after expiration of such three
(3) business day period. Any such New Exception to which Buyer does not object
in accordance with this section 1.2 shall be deemed approved and deemed to be a
Permitted Exception. Seller agrees, on or before the Closing Date, to do all
things required by the Title Company to ensure the removal, or insurance over,
of any exception to title relating to any mortgage, deed of trust or other
voluntary monetary lien incurred by Seller.
1.3 Exchange by Seller. If requested by Seller, Buyer shall cooperate
with Seller to effect an exchange of the Property that qualifies for
nonrecognition treatment in accordance with section 1031 of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended. Seller shall be responsible for negotiating the terms
of the acquisition of exchange property and for preparing and furnishing to
Buyer the necessary agreements, escrow instructions and other documents related
to the acquisition of exchange property. Buyer shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver such agreements, escrow instructions and other documents and take such
action as may be required in accordance with such agreements, escrow
instructions and other documents to complete the acquisition and conveyance of
the exchange property, as directed by Seller. Buyer shall not be required to
assume any additional obligation or to incur any additional liability in
connection with any acquisition of an exchange property that will survive
conveyance of the exchange property to Seller. The exchange shall not delay the
Closing Date.
1.4 Exchange by Buyer. If requested by Buyer, Seller shall cooperate
with Buyer to effect a purchase of the Property through an exchange that
qualifies for nonrecognition treatment in accordance with section 1031 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Buyer shall be responsible for
negotiating the terms of the disposition of exchange property and for preparing
and furnishing to Seller the necessary agreements, escrow instructions and other
documents related to the exchange. Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
such agreements, escrow instructions and other documents and take such action as
may be required in accordance with such agreements, escrow instructions and
other documents to complete the acquisition and conveyance of the exchange
property, as directed by Buyer. Seller shall not be required to acquire title to
any other property, nor to assume any additional obligation or to incur any
additional liability in connection with any exchange that will survive
conveyance of the Property to Seller. The exchange shall not delay the Closing
Date.
ARTICLE 2
Purchase Price
2.1 Amount and Payment. The total purchase price for the Property shall
be thirteen million four hundred thousand dollars ($13,400,000). At the Closing
(as hereinafter defined) on the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined), Buyer
shall pay the total purchase price for the Property to Seller in cash in
immediately available funds.
-3-

2.2 Deposit. Not later than the date five (5) days after the date of
this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit the sum of six hundred seventy thousand
dollars ($670,000) (the "Deposit") in cash in immediately available funds in
escrow with the Title Company. The Deposit shall be held by the Title Company in
an interest-bearing account designated in writing by Buyer and approved in
writing by Seller. If Seller and Buyer complete the purchase and sale of the
Property in accordance with this Agreement, the Deposit and all interest thereon
shall be applied to payment of the total purchase price for the Property in
accordance with section 2.1 hereof. If the purchase and sale of the Property is
not so completed and this Agreement terminates for any reason other than as set
forth in section 2.3, then the Deposit and all interest thereon shall be
returned to Buyer upon such termination of this Agreement.
2.3 Liquidated Damages. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT, IF THE PURCHASE AND
SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT COMPLETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THIS
AGREEMENT TERMINATES FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN (A) TERMINATION BY BUYER PURSUANT
TO SECTION 1.2(a) OR (B) THE FAILURE OF THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED IN SECTION
7.2(a), (b) OR (c), THEN THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST THEREON SHALL BE PAID TO
SELLER UPON TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED
DAMAGES AND AS SELLER'S SOLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY. SELLER AND BUYER AGREE
THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, ACTUAL
DAMAGES MAY BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN AND THE DEPOSIT AND ALL INTEREST THEREON
IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES THAT WILL BE INCURRED BY SELLER IF BUYER
FAILS TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Seller's Closing Certificate ("Seller's Closing Certificate") in the form of
Exhibit D attached hereto, certifying to Buyer that all such representations and
warranties are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date, with only such

reasonable cooperation to Buyer in connection with Buyer's efforts to obtain
governmental, quasi-governmental and third-party
-7-
11
approvals, as Buyer may deem appropriate to enable Buyer after the Closing to
develop the Property, construct improvements thereon and operate its business
from the Property ("Buyer's Development Efforts"); provided that, (i) Seller
shall not become liable to any governmental entity or other third party in any
respect by reason of Buyer's Development Efforts or Seller's cooperation
therewith and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and
against any such liability, (ii) if the Closing does not occur for any reason,
Buyer shall, on Seller's request, take all steps necessary to reverse the
effects of any of Buyer's Development Efforts, including withdrawing any
applications and canceling any permits or approvals, and (iii) Buyer shall,
promptly upon demand, reimburse Seller for any costs or expenses incurred by
Seller in connection with or relating to Buyer's Development Efforts or Seller's
cooperation therewith, including any attorneys' or consultants' fees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not take any action with respect to
the Property or in furtherance of Buyer's Development Efforts if, in Seller's
reasonable judgment, such action could reasonably be expected to have a
detrimental effect on the value or utility of the Property.
6.2 Buyer. Buyer covenants and agrees with Seller as follows:
(a) Buyer shall use reasonable efforts, in good faith and with
diligence, to cause all of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in
section 5.2 hereof to be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date. At the
Closing on the Closing Date, Buyer shall execute and deliver to Seller a Buyer's
Closing Certificate ("Buyer's Closing Certificate") in the form of Exhibit E
attached hereto, certifying to Seller that all such representations and
warranties are true and correct on and as of the Closing Date, with only such
exceptions therein as are necessary to reflect facts or circumstances arising
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date which would make any
such representation or warranty untrue or incorrect on and as of the Closing
Date.
(b) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller
harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, that may be
suffered or incurred by Seller if any representation or warranty made by Buyer
in section 5.2 hereof or in Buyer's Closing Certificate was untrue or incorrect
in any respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Buyer of any
such representation or warranty.
(c) Buyer shall be responsible for the payment of any commission, fee or
other compensation payable to Cornish & ▇▇▇▇▇ Commercial in connection with this
Agreement or the Property, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller
harmless from and against any claim or liability for any commission, fee or
other compensation payable in connection with this Agreement or the Property
unless such claim or liability arises from an express agreement made by Seller.
6.3 Casualty Damage. If, before the Closing Date, the improvements on
the Property 6.3 are damaged by any casualty whether or not insured and the cost
to restore such improvements, as reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer, is
more than one million dollars ($1,000,000), Buyer shall have the right, by
giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the
occurrence of such casualty to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which
event this Agreement shall terminate. If, before the Closing Date, the
improvements on
-8-
12
the Property are damaged by any casualty and the cost to restore such
improvements, as reasonably determined by Seller and Buyer, is one million
dollars ($1,000,000) or less, or Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement
pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then
this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Closing Date,
any insurance proceeds (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive
such proceeds) payable on account of the damage shall be transferred to Buyer.
In no event shall Seller be obligated to provide any credit or price reduction
on account of any casualty. Seller shall give notice to Buyer reasonably
promptly after the occurrence of any damage to the improvements on the Property
by any casualty. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller
has given any notice to Buyer required by this section 6.3 and the period of
thirty (30) days described in this section 6.3 has expired, and the restoration
cost has been determined by Seller and Buyer. In the event of any casualty
damage, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enforce Tenant's
obligations under the Lease respecting repair and restoration.
6.4 Eminent Domain. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are
commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a
material part of the Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would
render the Property unsuitable for Buyer's intended use, Buyer shall have the
right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives
notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this
Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If, before the Closing
Date, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of
eminent domain of less than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer
has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but
Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full
force and effect and, on the Closing Date, the condemnation award (or, if not
theretofore received, the right to receive such award) payable on account of the
taking shall be transferred to Buyer. Seller shall give notice to Buyer
reasonably promptly after Seller's receiving notice of the commencement of any
proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or
any part of the Property. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed
until Seller has given any notice to Buyer required by this section 6.4 and the
period of thirty (30) days described in this section 6.4 has expired.

condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in
writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Seller of any of its rights
or remedies if Buyer defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement to
be performed by Buyer under this Agreement or if Buyer breaches any
representation or warranty made by Buyer in section 5.2 hereof or in Buyer's
Closing Certificate. If any condition set forth in this section 7.1 is not fully

of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer or if Buyer breaches

in the performance of any material covenant to be performed by Buyer under this

7.2 Buyer. The obligations of Buyer under this Agreement are subject to
satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this section 7.2. Buyer may
waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver
shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such
condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in
writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any of its rights
or remedies if Seller defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement
to be performed by Seller under this Agreement or if Seller breaches any
representation or warranty made by Seller in section 5.1 hereof or in Seller's
Closing Certificate. If any condition set forth in this section 7.2 is not fully
satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate, but
without releasing Seller from liability if Seller defaults in the performance of
any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller or if Seller breaches
any such representation or warranty made by Seller before such termination.
(a) On the Closing Date, Seller shall not be materially in
default in the performance of any material covenant to be performed by Seller
under this Agreement.
(b) On the Closing Date, all representations and warranties made
by Seller in section 5.1 hereof shall be true and correct in all material
respects as if made on and as of the Closing Date and Buyer shall have received

have entered into an Agreement of Assignment of Lease, dated as of September 3,
1999 (as the same may be amended, modified, supplemented or restated from time
to time, the "Assignment Agreement"), pursuant to which Lockheed is assigning
the Lease to Network. TriNet has consented to the Assignment Agreement.
B. As of the date hereof, TriNet is selling the Property to ________,

good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Lockheed and Network agree as follows:
1. (a) Lockheed and Network each hereby releases and forever discharges
TriNet and its constituent owners, and TriNet's and such constituent owners'
officers, directors, agents, employees, attorneys, successors and assigns and
each of them separately and collectively (hereinafter referred to separately and

of action, obligations, damages and liabilities, known or unknown, that any
Releasor ever had, now has or may hereafter claim to have against any of the
Releasees arising directly or indirectly out of, or in any way connected with or
based upon, or related in any way to, the Lease or the Property (the foregoing
matters from which the Releasees are released are referred to herein as the
"Claims"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Network neither releases nor
discharges TriNet from, and the Claims shall not include, any claims, liens,

Releasor expressly waives all rights under section 1542 of the Civil Code of

timer of executing the release, which if known by him must have
materially affected his settlement with the debtor."
2. In the event of any breach of this Agreement, the party
aggrieved shall be entitled to recover from the breaching party, not only the
amount of any judgment which may be awarded against said breaching party, but
also all such other damages, cost and expenses as may be incurred by said
aggrieved party, including court costs and attorneys' fees, in connection
therewith.
3. Each Releasor acknowledges that nothing in this Agreement
constitutes an admission or concession by any of the Releasees of any liability
of any kind to the Releasors, liability for which is expressly denied by the
Releasees.
4. This Agreement shall bind and shall inure to the benefit of
the respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and assigns of the
parties hereto.
This Agreement is executed as of the date first above written.
