(b) At each Closing, the Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer to Seller for the Properties that are the subject of the Closing, shall be the sum of the amounts allocated to such Properties on Exhibit Q, payable as follows:

Interest earned on the portion of the Deposit allocated to a specific Property shall be applied to the Purchase Price allocated to such Property at Closing. Interest earned on the portion of the Deposit allocated to a specific Property for which this Agreement is terminated shall not be credited or returned to Buyer, except in the case such termination is due to a default by Seller or due to the exercise by Seller of its rights under Section 2.7(b).

Section 2.4 Buyer's Satisfaction of Its Review and Inspection; Seller's Disclaimer.

(a) As more fully described in Section 2.4(c) below, Buyer acknowledges that Seller has previously delivered copies, or otherwise made available to Buyer for Buyer's review at Seller's offices in San Diego, California, and Buyer has reviewed and approved, all of the Disclosure Materials.

Page 4

Properties; provided, however that such continued access and investigation shall have no effect on the satisfaction of Buyer with its investigation of the Properties and the Disclosure Materials. Buyer's exercise of its continued right of access shall be subject to the following limitations: (i) any entry onto any Property by Buyer, its agents or representatives, shall be during normal business hours, following not less than 24 hours' prior notice to Seller (which notice may be by telephone, facsimile or email) and, at Seller's discretion, if Seller so requests, accompanied by a representative of Seller; (ii) Buyer shall not conduct any invasive or destructive physical diligence or inspections of the Properties including, without limitation, drilling, test borings or other disturbance of any Property for review of soils, compaction, environmental, structural or other conditions, without Seller's prior written consent (which may be withheld in Seller's sole and absolute discretion) provided that Seller shall respond in writing to Buyer's request for permission to conduct any such diligence or inspections within two (2) business days after Buyer's request; (iii) prior to any discussions or interviews with any third party, any partner of Seller, any tenants of a Property or their respective personnel; and prior to any discussions or interviews with employees at any Property (which shall be limited to designated senior employees) or third party property managers, Buyer shall offer Seller the opportunity to have a representative present; (iv) Buyer shall not disturb the use or occupancy or the conduct of business at any Property; and (v) Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from all loss, cost, and expense relating to personal injury or property damage resulting from any entry by Buyer, its agents or representatives; provided however that Buyer's indemnity shall not include liability for the mere discovery of any condition already existing on the Properties and not the result of Buyer's activities.

(c) Buyer acknowledges that Seller has afforded Buyer and its agents and representatives an opportunity to conduct such appraisals and investigations of the Properties including, without limitation, investigations with respect to the physical, environmental, economic and legal condition of the Properties, prior to the Effective Date and the Buyer has completed all such investigations to its satisfaction. Except in the case of fraud by Seller, Buyer assumes the full risk that Buyer has failed completely and adequately to cause such inspections and consider any and all results of such inspections. Buyer acknowledges (i) that Buyer has entered into this Agreement with the intention of making and relying upon its own investigation of the physical, environmental, economic and legal condition of the Properties and the warranties and representations of Seller as set forth in Article 4 hereof, (ii) that, other than those specifically set forth in Article 4 below or in any document to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, Seller is not making and has not at any time made any warranty or representation of any kind, expressed or implied, with respect to the Properties, including, without limitation, warranties or representations as to habitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title (other than those specifically set forth in Article 4 below and other than Seller's limited warranty of title set forth in the Deeds), zoning, tax consequences, latent or patent physical or environmental condition, utilities, operating history or projections, valuation, projections, compliance with law or the truth, accuracy or completeness of the Disclosure Materials, (iii) that other than those specifically set forth in Article 4 below or in any document to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, Buyer is not relying upon and is not entitled to rely upon any representations and warranties made by Seller or anyone acting or claiming to act on Seller's behalf, (iv) that the Disclosure Materials include soils, environmental and/or physical reports prepared for Seller by third parties as to which Buyer has no right of reliance (provided, however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to have limited Buyer's right to seek to obtain from the third parties which prepared such reports the right to rely on such reports at no cost to Seller or to conduct Buyer's own independent evaluation of the Properties with respect to the matters covered in such reports), and (v) that the Disclosure Materials may include economic projections which reflect assumptions as to future market status and future Property income and expense with respect to the Properties which are inherently uncertain and as to which Seller has not made any guaranty or representation whatsoever. With respect to the soils, environmental and/or physical reports prepared for Seller by third parties, Buyer acknowledges that Seller has made no representation whatsoever as to accuracy, completeness or adequacy thereof. Buyer further

Page 5

acknowledges that it has not received from Seller any accounting, tax, legal, architectural, engineering, property management or other advice with respect to this transaction and is relying solely upon the advice of its own accounting, tax, legal, architectural, engineering, property management and other advisors. Except as provided in the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Article 4 below and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement or in any document to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1, based upon Buyer's familiarity with and due diligence conducted by Buyer relating to the Properties and pertinent knowledge as to the markets in which the Properties are situated and in direct consideration of Seller's decision to sell the Properties to Buyer for the Purchase Price, and not to pursue available disposition alternatives, Buyer shall purchase the Properties in an "as is, where is and with all faults" condition on the Closing Date and (except in the case of fraud by Seller) assumes fully the risk that adverse latent or patent physical, environmental, economic or legal conditions may not have been revealed by its investigations. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Properties has taken into account that the Properties are being sold subject to the provisions of this Section 2.4. Seller and Buyer agree that the provisions of this Section 2.4 shall survive Closing.

(d) Consistent with the foregoing and subject solely to the express covenants and indemnities set forth in this Agreement and the representations set forth in Section 4.1 or in any document to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 below (as such covenants, indemnities and representations are limited pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof) and except for rights, claims, demands and liabilities arising out of or based upon any fraud by any of the Releasees (as defined below), effective as of the Closing Date, Buyer, for itself and its agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges Seller, Seller's Subsidiaries and their respective shareholders, partners, members, officers and directors (collectively, the "Releasees") from any and all rights, claims and demands at law or in equity, whether known or unknown at the time of this agreement, which Buyer has or may have in the future, arising out of the physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Properties, including, without limitation, all claims in tort or contract and any claim for indemnification or contribution arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et. seq.) or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or ordinance relating to liability of property owners for environmental matters. Without limiting the foregoing, Buyer, upon Closing, shall be deemed to have waived, relinquished and released Seller and all other Releasees from and against any and all matters arising out of latent or patent defects or physical conditions, violations of applicable laws and any and all other acts, omissions, events, circumstances or matters affecting the Properties, except for breach of the express covenants and indemnities set forth in this Agreement and the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.1 or in any document to be delivered pursuant to Section 6.1 (as such covenants, indemnities and representations are limited pursuant to Section 4.4 hereof) and except for rights, claims, demands and liabilities arising out of or based upon any fraud by any of the Releasees. For the foregoing purposes, Buyer hereby specifically waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law of any other state, territory or jurisdiction. Section 1542 provides:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.

Buyer hereby specifically acknowledges that Buyer has carefully reviewed this subsection and discussed its import with legal counsel and that the provisions of this subsection are a material part of this Agreement.

Section 3.2 Failure or Waiver of Conditions Precedent.

(a) If any of the conditions set forth in Section 3.1(a) is not fulfilled or waived in writing by Buyer as to any specific Property, Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, terminate this Agreement as to such Property, but not as to any other Property or Properties.

In any event, Buyer's consent to the close of escrow with respect to any specific Property pursuant to this Agreement shall waive any remaining unfulfilled conditions for the benefit of Buyer with respect to such Property, but such consent shall not waive Buyer's right with respect to any of the other Properties or of Seller's covenants, representations, or warranties which survive Closing as herein provided.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.2(a), if Buyer desires to terminate this Agreement as to any Property or Properties based upon a failure of the conditions set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(i), (ii), (iv), (v), (vi), or (viii) above, Seller shall have the right (by giving notice to Buyer), but not the obligation, for a period of 30 days within which to cure such failure and the Closing as to such affected Properties only shall be deferred for such curative period. If Seller has not cured such failure within such cure period then Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement as to such affected Property.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.2(a), if Buyer desires to terminate this Agreement based upon a failure of the condition set forth in Sections 3.1(a)(iii), Seller and Buyer shall each have the right (by giving notice to the other), but not the obligation, to delay the Closing for an additional period or periods to a date not later than June 30, 2002, if exercised by Seller, and to a date not later than January 31, 2002, if exercised by Buyer, as to the affected Property or Properties to provide Seller and Buyer with additional time to obtain the Lender's Consents and the Closing as to such affected Property or Properties only shall be deferred for such period or periods. The parties shall mutually cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Lender's Consents to the sale of the Properties encumbered by the Assumed Indebtedness. If Buyer and Seller are not able to obtain the Lender's Consent for any specific Property or Properties within such additional time, then Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement as to such affected Property. If, for any specific Property, Buyer has (i) accepted the Loan Documents with all existing terms and conditions therein without modification, (ii) executed and delivered to Lender the Loan Assignment and Release Documents (as defined in Section 6.1(a)(xii)) in exactly the form required by Lender and all other documents required by Lender for the assumption of the Assumed Indebtedness; (iii) formed a single purpose entity (to the extent required by Lender) or any other entity to take title to the Property, which entity satisfies all of the requirements of Lender; and (iv) substituted a sufficiently capitalized entity or entities for all environmental indemnities, non-recourse carve-out indemnities or guaranties, if any, in place of any existing third party indemnitors or guarantors, which substituted entity is satisfactory to Lender, and Lender's Consent has not been obtained with respect to such Property notwithstanding satisfaction of the foregoing conditions and Buyer's commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such Lender's Consent, then upon Buyer's exercise of its right to terminate this Agreement as to such Property, the Purchase Price for the Properties shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the affected Property, the portion of the Deposit allocated to the affected Property shall be returned to Buyer and the term "Deposit" shall be deemed to be reduced by an amount corresponding to the portion of the Deposit returned to Buyer. If any one of the conditions enumerated in the foregoing sentence has not been satisfied, then upon Buyer's exercise of its right to terminate this Agreement as to the affected Property, the Purchase Price for the Properties shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the affected Property, the portion of the

Page 13

Deposit allocated to the affected Property shall be deemed released to Seller and the term "Deposit" shall be deemed to be reduced by an amount corresponding to the portion of the Deposit released to Seller.

(d) In the event this Agreement is terminated as to any Property or Properties by either Seller or Buyer as a result of the failure of a condition precedent which is not waived in writing by the party for whose benefit such condition precedent exists, and other than a termination resulting from a default by Buyer under this Agreement, the Purchase Price for the Properties shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocated to the affected Property or Properties, that portion of the Additional Deposit allocated to such affected Property or Properties shall be returned to Buyer, that portion of the Option Payment allocated to such affected Property or Properties shall be deemed released to Seller, and the term "Deposit" shall be deemed reduced by the amount of the Additional Deposit returned to Buyer and the amount of the Option Payment deemed released to Seller. This Section 3.2(d) shall not apply to the condition precedent set forth in Section 3.1(a)(iii), for which the terms of Section 3.2(c) shall apply, or the condition precedent set forth in Section 3.1(a)(vi), for which the terms of Section 3.1(a)(vi) shall apply, with respect to failure of such conditions.

(c) There is no litigation, investigation or proceeding pending or, to the best knowledge of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, representatives of Buyer, contemplated or threatened against Buyer which would impair or adversely affect Buyer's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document related hereto.

Section 4.4 Survival/Limitations.

(a) Subject to subsection (b) below, the parties agree that Seller's warranties and representations contained in Sections 4.1 of this Agreement shall survive Buyer's purchase of the Properties and the Closing Date for a period ending on the earlier of the first anniversary of the applicable Closing Date for the affected Property or December 15, 2002 (the "Limitation Period"). Such termination as of the close of the Limitation Period shall apply to known as well as unknown breaches of such warranties or representations. Subject to subsection (b) below, Buyer's waiver and release set forth in Section 2.4 shall apply fully to liabilities under such representations and warranties not set forth in a Claim Notice as described below. Buyer specifically acknowledges that such termination of liability represents a material element of the consideration to Seller.

(b) Any claim of Buyer based upon a breach of any representation or warranty or covenant or a claim under any indemnity contained in this Agreement or any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnity contained in any other document or instrument delivered by Seller to Buyer at Closing (collectively a "Breach") shall be expressed, if at all, in writing setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and character of the claim (a "Claim Notice"), and must be delivered to Seller prior to the expiration of the applicable Limitation Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer's right to make and recover any claim pursuant to a Claim Notice shall be subject to the following: (i) with respect to a Breach of Seller's representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or a Breach under an indemnity contained in the Assignment of Intangibles or the Assignment of Leases (as such terms are defined in Section 6.1(a) below), Buyer shall not make any claim on account of such Breach unless and until the aggregate measure of such claims with respect to the Property exceeds $500,000, in which event Buyer's claims shall be limited to an amount equal to the amount by which such aggregate claims exceed such $500,000 threshold and (ii) Seller's aggregate liability for claims arising out of all Breaches (i.e., those described in clause (i) above as well as all other Breaches) shall not, in the aggregate, exceed $2,500,000.00 exclusive of the amounts of any insurance proceeds actually received by Seller which are to be applied to Breaches, and (iii) Buyer shall have no right to deliver a Claim Notice with respect to a Breach of a representation and warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement to the extent that Buyer had knowledge of such Breach as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to

Page 19

the contrary provided in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for any consequential or punitive damages based upon any breach of this Agreement, including breaches of representation or warranty. Subject to applicable principles of fraudulent conveyance, in no event shall Buyer seek satisfaction for any obligation from any shareholders, officers, directors, employees, agents, legal representatives, successors or assigns of such trustees or beneficiaries, nor shall any such person or entity have any personal liability for any such obligations of Seller. Provided, however, that the limitations set forth in this Section 4.4(b) shall not apply in the event of fraud.

(c) Seller shall have a period of 30 days within which to cure a Breach for which a Claim Notice has been received, or, if such Breach cannot reasonably be cured within 30 days, an additional reasonable time period of up to an additional 60 days (for a total of 90 days), so long as such cure has been commenced within such 30 days and is at all times diligently pursued. If the Breach is not cured after actual written notice and within such cure period, Buyer's sole remedy shall be an action at law for damages against Seller, which must be commenced with respect to a Breach of a representation or warranty contained in this Agreement or a Breach of a covenant contained in Section 4.2 hereof or a Breach of an indemnity obligation in Section 2.4(f) hereof, if at all, by a date which is the earlier of the first anniversary of the applicable Closing Date for the Property affected by the Breach or December 15, 2002. The existence or pendency of such cure rights shall not delay the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 4.4 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.

The party making its operating records available shall have no obligation to prepare any operating statements or incur any expense in connection with the provisions of this Section. Seller shall not be obligated to retain operating records or make such operating records available to Buyer to the extent such records have been delivered to Buyer.

Section 4.6 Seller's Employees.

During the Contract Period, Buyer shall have the right to discuss with any officer, director, employee or agent of Seller or any of Seller's affiliates the possibility of such person's becoming an officer, director, employee or agent of Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer prior to or after the Closing.

Section 4.7 Buyer's Covenants as to Fremont Hub.

During the Contract Period, Buyer shall solicit from DDRS and consider a proposal from DDRS for a development services agreement with DDRS relating to development services to be performed by DDRS after the Closing for the Fremont Hub Property on behalf of Buyer with respect to the Fremont Hub Redevelopment.

The fees to be payable pursuant to the development services agreement shall not exceed the following: (i) with respect to leasing commissions, the current fees payable under the existing liquidation services agreement between Seller and DDRS and (ii) with respect to other development services fees, an amount not to exceed four percent (4%) of the hard costs for the Fremont Hub Redevelopment.

ARTICLE 5
DEPOSIT; DEFAULT

Section 5.1 Buyer's Default & Deposit. Buyer shall deliver the Deposit as required under Section 2.2. In the event that this transaction is consummated as contemplated by this Agreement, then the entire amount of the Deposit (as may be adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) shall be credited against the Purchase Price. The entire amount of the Option Payment shall be nonrefundable except in the event this transaction fails to close due to termination of this Agreement pursuant Section 2.5(b), Section 2.7(b), Section 3.1(a)(vi) or Section 5.2 in which event that portion of the Option Payment allocated to the affected Property shall be returned to Buyer. If the Agreement is terminated as to any Property or Properties pursuant to Section 3.2(c), the portion of the Option Payment allocated to the affected Property shall be returned to Buyer to the extent permitted under Section 3.2(c). BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER'S AGREEMENT NOT TO PURSUE OR ACCEPT OTHER OFFERS TO PURCHASE ALL OR ANY OF THE PROPERTIES IS SUFFICIENT CONSIDERATION FOR THE OPTION PAYMENT AND THAT THE NON-REFUNDABILITY OF THE OPTION PAYMENT IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SELLER IN AGREEING TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. In the event this transaction fails to close as to a specific Property due to termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 2.5(b), 3.1(a)(vi), 3.2, 5.2 or 7.1, that portion of the Additional Deposit allocated to the affected Property shall be returned to Buyer, and the portion of the Option Payment allocated to the affected Property shall be deemed released to Seller or returned to Buyer as expressly set forth in those Sections of the Agreement. Except in the foregoing events, the entire Additional Deposit shall be non-refundable. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CLOSING OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTIES TO BUYER, ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IS MATERIAL TO SELLER. BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF SUCH TRANSACTION IS NOT SO CONSUMMATED DUE TO BUYER'S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPUTE IN LIGHT OF THE UNPREDICTABLE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE FLUCTUATING MARKET FOR REAL ESTATE AND REAL ESTATE LOANS OF ALL TYPES, AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECT THE VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTIES. IN LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING AND ALL OF THE OTHER FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS TRANSACTION, AND FOLLOWING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD SUFFER BY REASON OF BUYER'S DEFAULT HEREUNDER. ACCORDINGLY, BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY GIVING NOTICE TO BUYER AND TITLE COMPANY. IN THE EVENT OF SUCH TERMINATION, SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER CLAIM SELLER MAY HAVE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE) ARISING BY REASON OF BUYER'S DEFAULT. THE PARTIES HAVE INITIALED THIS SECTION 5.1 TO ESTABLISH THEIR INTENT SO TO LIQUIDATE DAMAGES.

This Section 5.1 is intended only to liquidate and limit Seller's rights to damages arising due to Buyer's failure to purchase the Properties and shall not limit the indemnification or other obligations of Buyer pursuant to (A) any other documents delivered pursuant to this Agreement or (B) Sections 7.2 and 7.8 of this Agreement.

Section 5.2 Seller's Default. If, as to any specific Property, (a) Buyer has demonstrated that it is fully ready and able to perform all of its material closing obligations (e.g., able to deliver the necessary funds into escrow), (b) all of the conditions precedent in Section 3.1(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv), if applicable to such affected Property, have been satisfied by Seller or waived by Seller in its sole discretion, and (c) Seller shall refuse to perform its material closing obligations under this Agreement (e.g., by refusing to convey the Property to Buyer at Closing), then Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy shall be either (i) to pursue an action for specific performance, provided, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer's right to pursue an action for specific performance is expressly conditioned on Buyer not being in default hereunder or (ii) to receive from Seller (x) a return of that portion of the Deposit allocated to the affected Property in the event Seller refuses to perform its material closing obligations with respect to such Property (in which case the term "Deposit" shall be deemed reduced by the amount returned to Buyer) plus (y) the allocated amount of $2,500,000.00 as set forth on Exhibit O for such affected Property as liquidated damages. In connection with such liquidated damage amount, SELLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE CLOSING OF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTIES TO BUYER ON THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND WITHIN THE TIME PERIOD SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IS MATERIAL TO BUYER. SELLER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY BUYER IF SUCH TRANSACTION IS NOT SO CONSUMMATED DUE TO SELLER'S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPUTE IN LIGHT OF THE UNPREDICTABLE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE FLUCTUATING MARKET FOR REAL ESTATE AND REAL ESTATE LOANS OF ALL TYPES, AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECT THE VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTIES. IN LIGHT OF THE FOREGOING AND ALL OF THE OTHER FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING THIS TRANSACTION, AND FOLLOWING NEGOTIATIONS BETWEEN THE PARTIES, SELLER AND BUYER AGREE THAT THE ALLOCATED AMOUNT OF $2,500,000.00 AS SET FORTH ON EXHIBIT O FOR THE AFFECTED PROPERTY REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH BUYER WOULD SUFFER BY REASON OF SELLER'S DEFAULT HEREUNDER IF BUYER DOES NOT ELECT TO ENFORCE SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. ACCORDINGLY, SELLER AND BUYER HEREBY AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT OF SUCH DEFAULT BY SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AS TO A SPECIFIC PROPERTY, BUYER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AS TO SUCH AFFECTED PROPERTY BY GIVING NOTICE TO SELLER AND TITLE COMPANY AND IN THE EVENT OF SUCH TERMINATION, BUYER SHALL RECEIVE A REFUND OF THAT PORTION OF THE DEPOSIT ALLOCATED TO THE AFFECTED PROPERTY (AND THE TERM "DEPOSIT" SHALL BE DEEMED REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT RETURNED TO BUYER) AND ALSO RECEIVE FROM SELLER THE ALLOCATED AMOUNT OF $2,500,000.00 AS SET FORTH ON EXHIBIT O FOR THE AFFECTED PROPERTY AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.

Real estate taxes, personal property taxes and any general or special assessments with respect to the Properties which are not the direct payment obligation of tenants pursuant to the Leases (as opposed to a reimbursement obligation) shall be prorated as of the Closing Date—to the end that Seller shall be responsible for all taxes and assessments that are allocable to any period prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all taxes and assessments that are allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date. To the extent any real or personal property taxes subject to apportionment in accordance with the foregoing are, as of the Closing Date, the subject of any appeal filed by or on behalf of Seller, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this subparagraph, (i) no apportionment of the taxes being appealed shall occur at the Closing, but instead such apportionment shall be deferred until the outcome of the appeal is final and the amount of taxes owing becomes fixed at which ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall be responsible for all such taxes that are allocable to any period prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall be responsible for all such taxes that are allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date, and (ii) Seller shall provide Buyer with adequate security, either in the form of a bond or by escrowing the amounts being appealed, to assure Buyer that Seller's portion of such tax liability, including any penalty, will be available. To the extent any taxes which are the subject of an appeal have been paid by Seller under protest and the appeal results in Buyer receiving a credit toward future tax liability or a refund, then Buyer shall, within thirty (30) days following receipt of such refund or notice of such credit, pay to Seller the full amount of such refund or credit allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, excluding, however, any portion of such refund or credit that is required to be passed through to the tenants pursuant to any Leases or to other parties by contract (existing on the Closing Date).

(i): General. Subject to the specific provisions of clauses (ii), (iii), (iv) and (v) below, income and expense shall be prorated on the basis of the actual days of the applicable month and on a cash basis (except for items of income and expense that are payable less frequently than monthly, which shall be prorated on an accrual basis). All such items attributable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be allocated to Seller; all such items attributable to the period on and following the Closing Date shall be allocated to Buyer. Buyer shall be credited at Closing with (a) any portion of rental agreement or lease deposits which are refundable to the tenants and have not been applied to outstanding tenant obligations in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease and (b) rent prepaid beyond the Closing Date. Seller shall transfer Seller's entire interest in any letters of credit or certificates of deposit held by Seller as the deposits described in clause (a) above and shall diligently cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any reissuance or confirmation of the effectiveness of the transfer of such instruments. Buyer shall not be entitled to any interest on rental agreement or lease deposits or prepaid rent accrued on or before the Closing Date, except to the extent any such amount of interest is refundable or payable to any tenant under a Lease or applicable law. Seller shall be credited at Closing with any prepaid rent under the Ground Leases, any impounds or escrow accounts held by the Lender or by the Lender's servicers with respect to any of the Properties subject to the Assumed Indebtedness, as confirmed by Lender or its servicer, as applicable, and any refundable deposits or bonds held by any utility, governmental agency or service contractor, to the extent such deposits or bonds are assigned to Buyer on the Closing Date. If Lender or its servicer has not confirmed the aforesaid amounts on or before the Closing Date, such credit will be given to Seller within five (5) business days after such amounts are so confirmed.
(ii): Leasing Costs. Buyer shall be credited at Closing with any leasing commissions, tenant improvements or other allowances to be paid by Buyer after the Closing Date with respect to the current term of any Lease shown on the Rent Rolls attached hereto as Exhibit C-1, and Seller shall pay on or before the Closing Date all such items payable prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall be credited at Closing with an amount equal to (A) the amount of any leasing commissions, tenant improvements and other allowances paid by Seller after the Effective Date to the extent such items relate to new Leases or Lease modifications executed or extensions of terms or expansions of premises that are not shown on the Rent Rolls attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 and permitted under the terms of this Agreement, multiplied by (B) a fraction in which the numerator is the number of months or partial months of the stabilized term (i.e., the term following the tenant's entry into occupancy and commencement of unabated rental obligations) of any such Lease following the Closing Date and the denominator is the number of months or partial months in the stabilized term of such Lease. Buyer shall assume all obligations for any leasing commissions, tenant improvement or other allowances payable following the Closing Date with respect to Leases or Lease modifications executed or extensions of terms or expansions of premises that are not shown on the Rent Rolls attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 and which are permitted under the terms of this Agreement. Any expenditures or commitments to expenditures relating to Leases or modifications or extensions of terms or expansions of premises, in excess of the amounts budgeted and approved as part of Buyer's approval of the Lease (where such approval is required) shall be subject to Buyer's specific approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be deemed given if Buyer should fail to approve or disapprove such excess expenditure

Page 27

within five (5) business days following receipt of Seller's written request and delivery of material information reasonably necessary to allow Buyer to make an informed decision.

(iii): Rents. Rents (including both minimum rent and Additional Rent, as herein defined) payable by tenants under the Leases (other than delinquent rents), shall be prorated as and when collected (whether such collection occurs prior to, on, or after the Closing Date). Buyer shall receive a credit for the amounts actually received by Seller (i.e., landlord) before the Closing Date and which pertain to any period after the Closing Date. Buyer shall not receive a credit at the Closing for any rents for the month in which the Closing occurs which are in arrears and have not then been received. As to any tenants who are delinquent in the payment of rent on the Closing Date, Seller shall be permitted to use reasonable efforts including commencement of legal action after the Closing Date to collect or caused to be collected delinquent rents and other damages (but shall not be permitted to file an unlawful detainer action, an action to otherwise evict the tenant or terminate the tenant's lease or an involuntary petition against the tenant under bankruptcy laws or other debtor relief laws). Any and all rents so collected by either party following the Closing (less a deduction for all reasonable collection costs and expenses incurred by the collecting party) shall be successively applied (after deduction for reasonable collection costs) to the payment of (x) rent due and payable for the month in which the Closing occurs, (y) rent due and payable for the months succeeding the month in which the Closing occurs (through and including the month in which payment is made) and (z) rent due and payable for the months preceding the month in which the Closing occurs. If all or part of any rents or other charges received by Buyer following the Closing are allocable to Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then such sums shall be promptly paid to Seller; if all or part of any rents or other charges received by Seller following the Closing are allocable to Buyer pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then such sums shall be promptly paid to Buyer. Seller reserves the right to pursue any damages remedy Seller may have against any tenant with respect to such delinquent rents, but shall have no right to exercise any other remedy under the Lease (including, without limitation, termination or eviction).
(iv): Additional Rents. Any percentage rent, escalation charges for real estate taxes, parking charges, operating and maintenance expenses, pass-throughs for roof, parking area and other capital asset replacements (including amortization payments), escalation rents or charges, electricity charges, cost of living increases or any other charges of a similar nature other than fixed or base rent under the Leases (collectively, the "Additional Rents") shall be prorated as of the Closing Date between Buyer and Seller, proration payments to be made on or before the date which is ninety (90) days following the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs based on the actual number of days of the year and month which shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date. Prior to Closing, Seller shall provide Buyer on an estimated basis with information regarding Additional Rents which were received by Seller prior to Closing and the amount of reimbursable expenses paid by Seller prior to Closing. If Seller's collections of such amounts is in excess of the amounts actually paid by Seller for such items for the period prior to Closing, then Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for the excess amounts collected. Buyer shall apply all such excess amounts to the charges owed by Buyer for such items for the period after the Closing and, if required by the Leases, shall rebate or credit the tenants with any remainder. If it is determined that the amount collected during Seller's ownership period was less than the amounts actually paid by Seller for such items for the period prior to the Closing, then the collection and remitting of such amounts shall be governed by the provisions of subsection (iii) above regarding the post-closing application of rents. With respect to reimbursable expenses paid by Seller prior to Closing, but not billed to tenants

Page 28

prior to Closing, Seller will provide to Buyer all relevant information including supporting documentation and Seller's calculation of the amount to be billed to each tenant. On or before the date which is ninety (90) days following the end of the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a reconciliation of all expenses reimbursable by tenants under the Leases, and the amount of Additional Rents received by Seller and Buyer relating thereto (the "Reconciliation"). Upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, each party shall make available to the other all information reasonably required to confirm the Reconciliation. In the event of any overpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Seller, Seller shall promptly, but in no event later than fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Reconciliation, pay to Buyer the amount of such overpayment and Buyer, as the landlord under the particular Leases, shall pay or credit to each applicable tenant the amount of such overpayment. In the event of an underpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Seller, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such underpayment within fifteen (15) days following Buyer's receipt of any such amounts from the tenants.

(v): Fremont Hub Redevelopment Costs. Seller shall be credited at Closing for the Fremont Hub Property with any out-of-pocket construction costs and expenses (including both hard and soft costs), permit fees, subdivision fees, survey costs, and leasing costs relating to the Fremont Hub Redevelopment and incurred by Seller after the Effective Date.

(d) Adjustments to Prorations. Subject to Section 6.3(a) and 6.3(c)(iv) above, after the Closing, the parties shall from time to time, as soon as is practicable after accurate information becomes available and in any event within one (1) year following the Closing Date, recalculate and reapportion any of the items subject to proration or apportionment (i) which were not prorated and apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of the information necessary to compute such proration, or (ii) which were prorated or apportioned at the Closing based upon estimated or incomplete information, or (iii) for which any errors or omissions in computing prorations at the Closing are discovered subsequent thereto, and thereafter the proper party shall be reimbursed based on the results of such recalculation and reapportionment. Unless otherwise specified herein, all such reimbursements shall be made on or before thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of the amount due. Any such reimbursements not timely paid shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to ten percent (10%) from the due date until all such unpaid sums together with all interest accrued thereon are paid if payment is not made within ten (10) days after receipt of a ▇▇▇▇ therefor.

(e) Prior Year's Reconciliation. If the Closing occurs before Seller has performed the annual reconciliation of Additional Rent for the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year in which the Closing occurs, then Seller shall, as soon as practicable after Closing, perform such reconciliation at its sole cost and expense. Upon completion of such annual reconciliation, Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer a detailed description of any Additional Rent which are payable by or reimbursable to any present tenant (the "Prior Year Reconciliation"). The Prior Year Reconciliation shall be accompanied by all applicable back-up documentation, together with Seller's check for such Additional Rent which is reimbursable to a tenant. Based upon Seller's calculations, Buyer shall send customary statements for reimbursement of Additional Rent to tenants under the Leases based on the Prior Year Reconciliation, and shall remit to Seller within thirty (30) days of receipt, all sums so collected. If Seller's calculations show that Additional Rent has been overpaid by any present tenant and Seller has submitted its check to Buyer for such amounts, Buyer shall refund such Additional Rent to such tenant.

(f) Survival. The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive the Closing.

Section 6.4 Other Closing Costs.

If at any time prior to the Closing, Seller determines that any of the Properties has been destroyed or damaged by earthquake, flood or other casualty and that such damage will require more than $750,000 for any one Property, (a "Casualty"), or if a proceeding is instituted for the taking of all or any material portion of any of the Properties under the power of eminent domain (a "Taking"), Buyer may terminate this Agreement as to the affected Property within fifteen (15) days after the date Buyer receives notification in writing by Seller of such Casualty or Taking. Upon such termination, the Purchase Price for the Properties shall be reduced by the amount of the Purchase Price allocated for the Property that has incurred the Casualty damage or is the subject of a Taking. If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement as to the affected Property, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the material loss or damage from such Casualty or Taking and shall proceed to close, as provided hereinbelow. If Buyer waives any material loss or damage from such Casualty or Taking and proceeds to consummate the purchase and sale transaction, or in the event of immaterial loss, damage or condemnation as to any Property, then Buyer shall consummate the purchase of such Properties in accordance with this Agreement, in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer at the Closing (A) any insurance proceeds payable to Seller on account of such Casualty (excluding rental income insurance proceeds allocable to the period prior to Closing) or (B) any award payable to Seller by reason of the Taking (excluding any award for a temporary taking to the extent allocable to the period prior to Closing), as the case may be. If Buyer fails to give such notice within such 15-day period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1. The Closing Date shall be deferred, if necessary, to permit Buyer to have the 15-day period following receipt of notice of a Casualty or a Taking to make the election specified hereinabove. If Buyer

Page 30

terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 7.1, then that portion of the Additional Deposit allocated to the affected Property shall be returned to Buyer, that portion of the Option Payment allocated to such affected Property shall be deemed released to Seller, and the term "Deposit" shall be deemed reduced by the amount of the Additional Deposit returned to Buyer and the amount of the Option Payment deemed released to Seller and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further obligations under this Agreement, except Buyer's obligation to perform those obligations set forth in Sections 2.4(b), 7.2, and 7.8 of this Agreement. Except as provided in Section 4.2(f), nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute an obligation on the part of Seller to carry or maintain any insurance of any kind whatsoever pertaining to the Property.

Section 7.2 Fees & Commissions. Each party to this Agreement warrants to the other that no person or entity can properly claim a right to a real estate or investment banker's commission, finder's fee, acquisition fee or other brokerage-type compensation (collectively, "Real Estate Compensation") based upon the acts of that party with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement except the brokers who have been retained by Seller pursuant to a separate written agreement and whose Real Estate Compensation shall be paid by Seller and except for First Union Securities, Inc. and GE Capital Corporation, each retained by Buyer and whose Real Estate Compensation will be paid by Buyer. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify and defend the other against and to hold the other harmless from any and all loss, cost, liability or expense (including but not limited to attorneys' fees and returned commissions) resulting from any claim for Real Estate Compensation by any person or entity based upon such acts.

Section 7.3 Successors and Assigns. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer will assign this Agreement to a Delaware limited partnership, in which P.O'B ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ & Company, Apollo Real Estate Advisors, GE Capital Corporation or affiliates of each or any of them will be equity investors. Except as stated in the preceding sentence, Buyer may not assign any of Buyer's rights or duties hereunder without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be withheld in Seller's sole discretion.

Section 7.4 Notices.
