Section 8.3 Use of Purchase Price to Discharge Title Exceptions. With respect to the Property, if, at the Closing, there are any title exceptions applicable to the Property which are not Permitted Exceptions and which the Seller is obligated by this Agreement or elects to pay and discharge, the Seller may use any portion of the Purchase Price to satisfy the same, provided that the Seller shall have delivered to the Buyer at the Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to satisfy such title exceptions of record, together with the cost of any applicable recording or filing fees. The Buyer, if request is made within a reasonable time prior to the Closing, agrees to provide at the Closing separate certified or cashier's checks as requested, aggregating up to the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price to be delivered at Closing, to facilitate the satisfaction of any such title exceptions. The existence of any such liens or encumbrances shall not be deemed objections to title if the Seller shall comply with the foregoing requirements. Any unpaid liens for taxes, water charges and assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall not be objections to title, but the amount thereof plus any interest and penalties thereon shall be deducted from the Cash Balance of the Purchase Price, subject to the provisions for apportionment of taxes, water charges and assessments contained in Article X of this Agreement. Section 8.4 Inability to Convey. Except as expressly set forth in Section 8.6, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to require the Seller to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, nor shall the Buyer have any right of action against the Seller, at law or in equity, for the Seller's inability to convey title subject only to the Permitted Exceptions. -23-

Section 8.5 Rights in Respect of Inability to Convey. In the event that the Seller shall be unable to convey title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions and the Buyer shall not, prior to the Closing Date (as it may have been adjourned in accordance with this Agreement), give notice to the Seller that the Buyer is willing to waive objection to each title exception which is not a Permitted Exception and close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price, credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against the Seller for damages or otherwise, the Seller shall have the right, at the Seller's sole election, to take such action as the Seller shall deem advisable to discharge each such title exception which is not a Permitted Exception. In the event the Seller shall elect to take action to discharge each such title exception which is not a Permitted Exception, the Seller shall be entitled to one or more adjournments of the Closing Date for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days in the aggregate (inclusive of any adjournments made by the Seller pursuant to Section 8.6 below) and the Closing shall be adjourned to a date specified by the Seller not beyond such sixty(60) day period. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Seller shall not have succeeded in discharging each such title exception at the expiration of such adjournment(s) and if the Buyer shall not, prior to the expiration of the last of such adjournments, give notice to the Seller that the Buyer is willing to waive objection to each such title exception and to close this transaction without abatement of the Purchase Price, credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against the Seller for damages or otherwise, this Agreement shall be deemed to be terminated as of the last date to which the Closing Date was adjourned by the Seller pursuant to this Article VIII. Upon any termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section, (I) the Earnest Money shall be refunded to the Buyer and (II) neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder other than those which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 8.7 The Buyer's Right to Accept Title. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, the Buyer may, by notice given to the Seller at any time prior to the Closing Date (as it may have been adjourned by the Seller pursuant to this Article VIII), elect to accept such title as the Seller can convey, notwithstanding the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions. In such event, this Agreement shall remain in effect and the parties shall proceed to Closing but, except to the extent set forth in Section 8.6, the Buyer shall not be entitled to any abatement of the Purchase Price, any credit or allowance of any kind or any claim or right of action against the Seller for damages or otherwise by reason of the existence of any title exceptions which are not Permitted Exceptions.

EX-1031st Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 31st
to pay (including, without limitation, all sales and use taxes due as a result of the sale of the Asset); and (c) the Seller shall be responsible for (i) all costs associated with title reports or abstracts with respect to the Property as well as all survey and search costs and updates related thereto and (ii) the fee due to Andover Corporation, a California corporation, licensed as a real estate broker in the state of California(which fee shall not exceed $680,000). Except with respect to that portion of such charges and taxes due as a result of the Purchase Price being in excess of $34,000,000 (which portion of such charges and taxes shall be paid for by Buyer), Seller and Buyer shall split equally all costs in connection with delivery and recording of the instruments relating to the transfer of the Asset and transfer and real estate conveyance taxes chargeable in connection with this transaction. Each party to this Agreement shall indemnify the other parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all loss, damage, cost, charge, liability or expense (including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees) which such other party may sustain or incur as a result of the failure of either party to timely pay any of the aforementioned taxes, fees or other charges for which it has assumed responsibility under this Section. Section 9.2 Risk of Loss. (a) If, on or before the Closing Date, the Property or any portion thereof shall be (i) damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty or (ii) taken or threatened to be taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, the Seller shall promptly notify the Buyer. (b) As soon as practicable after the occurrence of such casualty or an actual condemnation, as opposed to a threatened condemnation , Seller shall notify Buyer of (i) the estimated cost of restoration of the Property with respect to any casualty as determined by written estimate of an independent construction contractor chosen by Seller with Buyer's approval not to be unreasonably withheld or (ii) the estimated loss in value of the Property as a result of such condemnation as determined by written estimate of an independent appraisal firm chosen by Seller, with Buyer's approval not to be unreasonably withheld. If the estimated cost of restoration arising out of a casualty or estimated loss in value arising out of a condemnation, shall be $3,500,000 or less, then notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the Seller will credit against the Purchase Price payable by the Buyer (applied to the installment of the Purchase Price due at the Closing at which the Property that is the subject of the casualty or condemnation is transferred to Buyer) an amount equal to the net proceeds, if any, received by the Seller from such casualty or condemnation less any amounts spent by the Seller or Property Owner prior to Closing with respect to a restoration of the subject Property. If as of the Closing Date, the Seller or Property Owner has not received any such insurance or condemnation proceeds then the parties shall nevertheless consummate on the Closing Date the conveyance of the relevant Asset (without any deduction for such -26-
EX-1032nd Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 32nd
insurance or condemnation proceeds) and the Seller will at Closing assign to the Buyer all rights of the Seller, if any, to the insurance or condemnation proceeds and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such casualty or condemnation. If the estimated cost of restoration arising from a casualty or the loss in value of the Property arising from a condemnation exceeds $3,500,000, then Buyer shall have the option to either (i) terminate this Agreement and the Earnest Money being held by Escrow Agent shall be immediately returned to Buyer, and thereupon this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect or (ii) accept the Property "as is" together with an assignment of the insurance or condemnation proceeds. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a condemnation or casualty occurs as more particularly described above, and either (a) the casualty or condemnation is in excess of $3,500,000 and the Buyer decides to proceed to Closing, or (b) if the casualty or condemnation is less than $3,500,000, Seller shall, (i) in the event Seller has not paid the deductible on the insurance policy, credit to Buyer an amount equal to such deductible to be paid by Buyer or (ii) in the event Seller has paid the deductible, Seller shall not deduct such amount from any credits taken by Seller in connection with monies spent to restore or repair the Property. ARTICLE X ADJUSTMENTS ----------- Unless otherwise provided below, the following are to be adjusted and prorated between the Sellers and the Buyer as of 11:59 P.M. on the day preceding the Closing Date, based upon a 365 day year, and the net amount thereof shall be added to (if such net amount is in the Seller's favor) or deducted from (if such net amount is in the Buyer's favor) the Purchase Price payable at Closing: Section 10.1 Fixed Rents. (a) Fixed rents (collectively, "Fixed Rents") paid or payable by tenants under the Space Leases in connection with their occupancy of the Property shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis. Any Fixed Rents collected by the Buyer or the Seller after the Closing from any tenant who owes Fixed Rents for periods prior to the Closing, shall be applied (i) first, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for the month in which the Closing Date occurs, (ii) second, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for the period prior to the month in which the Closing Date occurs but not with respect to any period more than 60 days prior to the Closing Date, (iii) third, after Fixed Rents for all prior periods have been paid in full, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for the period (if any) after the month in which the Closing Date -27-
EX-1033rd Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 33rd
occurs and (iv) fourth, in payment of Fixed Rents owed by such tenant for periods more than 60 days prior to the Closing Date. Each such amount, less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably allocable thereto, shall be adjusted and prorated as provided above, and the party who receives such amount shall promptly pay over to the other party the portion thereof to which it is so entitled. (b) The Buyer shall bill tenants who owe Fixed Rents for periods prior to the Closing on a monthly basis for a period of six consecutive months following the Closing Date and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to collect such past due Fixed Rents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Buyer shall be unable to collect such past due Fixed Rents, the Seller shall have the right, with the prior approval of Buyer, not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, to pursue tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits), but the Seller shall not be entitled to evict (by summary proceedings or otherwise) any such tenants. Any payment by a tenant in an amount less than the full amount of Fixed Rents and Overage Rent (as defined below) then due and payable by such tenant shall be applied first to Fixed Rents (in the order of priority as to time periods as is set forth above) to the extent of all such Fixed Rents then due and payable by such tenant, and thereafter to Overage Rents (in the order of priority as to time periods as is set forth in Section 10.2 below). Section 10.2 Overage Rents. (a) With respect to any Space Lease that provides for (i) the payment of additional rent based upon a percentage of the tenant's business during a specified annual or other period (sometimes referred to as "percentage rent"), (ii) so-called common area maintenance or "CAM" charges or (iii) so-called "escalation rent" or additional rent based upon increases in real estate taxes or operating expenses or labor costs or cost of living or porter's wages or otherwise (such percentage rent, CAM charges, escalation rent and additional rent being collectively called "Overage Rent"), such Overage Rent shall be adjusted and prorated on an if, as and when collected basis. (b) As to any Overage Rent in respect of an accounting period that shall have expired prior to the Closing but which shall be paid after the Closing, the Buyer agrees that it will pay the entire amount over to the Seller upon receipt thereof, less any costs of collection (including reasonable counsel fees) reasonably allocable thereto. The Buyer agrees that it shall (i) promptly render bills for any Overage Rent in respect of an accounting period that shall have expired prior to the Closing but which shall be paid after the Closing, (ii) bill tenants such Overage Rent attributable to an accounting period that shall have expired prior to the Closing on a monthly basis for a period of six consecutive months thereafter -28-
EX-1034th Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 34th
and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to collect Overage Rent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Buyer shall be unable to collect such Overage Rent, the Seller shall have the right, upon prior written notice to the Buyer, to pursue tenants to collect such delinquencies (including, without limitation, the prosecution of one or more lawsuits), but the Seller shall not be entitled to evict (by summary proceedings or otherwise) any such tenants. The Seller shall furnish to the Buyer all information relating to the period prior to the Closing that is reasonably necessary for the billing of such Overage Rent and the Buyer will deliver to the Seller, concurrently with the delivery to tenants, copies of all statements relating to Overage Rent for a period prior to the Closing. The Buyer shall bill tenants for Overage Rents for accounting periods prior to the Closing in accordance with and on the basis of such information furnished by the Seller. (c) If, prior to the Closing, the Seller shall have received any installments of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for periods from and after the Closing Date, such sum shall be apportioned at the Closing. If, after the Closing, the Buyer shall receive any installments of Overage Rent attributable to Overage Rent for periods prior to the Closing, such sum (less any costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred by the Buyer in the collection of such Overage Rent) shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller promptly after the Buyer receives payment thereof. (d) Any payment by a tenant on account of Overage Rent (to the extent not applied against Fixed Rents due and payable by such tenant in accordance with subsection 10.1(b) above) shall be applied to Overage Rents then due and payable in the following order of priority, (i) first, in payment of Overage Rent for the accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs, (ii) second, in payment of Overage Rent for the accounting period preceding the accounting period in which the Closing Date occurs, in the chronological order in which such payments are due for such accounting period pursuant to the applicable Space Lease and (iii) third, in payment of Overage Rent for accounting periods following the Closing Date. (e) To the extent that any portion of Overage Rent is required to be paid monthly by tenants on account of estimated amounts for any calendar year (or, if applicable, any lease year or tax year or any other applicable accounting period), and at the end of such calendar year (or lease year, tax year or other applicable accounting period, as the case may be), such estimated amounts are to be recalculated based upon the actual expenses, taxes and other relevant factors for that calendar (lease or tax) year or other applicable accounting period, with the appropriate adjustments being made with such tenants, then such portion of the Overage Rent shall be prorated between the Seller and the Buyer at the Closing based on such estimated payments actually paid by tenants (i.e., with the Seller entitled to retain all monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by tenants with respect to periods prior to the calendar month or other -29-
EX-1035th Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 35th
applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs, the Seller to pay to the Buyer at the Closing all monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts theretofore received by the Seller with respect to periods following the calendar month or other applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs and the Seller and the Buyer to apportion as of the Closing Date all monthly or other periodic installments of such amounts paid by tenants with respect to the calendar month or other applicable installment period in which the Closing occurs). At the time(s) of final calculation and collection from (or refund to) each tenant of the amounts in reconciliation of actual Overage Rent for a period for which estimated amounts paid by such tenant have been prorated, there shall be a re-proration between the Seller and the Buyer. If, with respect to any tenant, the recalculated Overage Rent exceeds the estimated amount paid by such tenant, upon collection from the tenant, (i) the entire excess shall be paid by the Buyer to the Seller, if the accounting period for which such recalculation was made expired prior to the Closing and (ii) such excess shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Buyer as of the Closing Date (on the basis described in the first sentence of subsection 10.2 above), if the Closing occurred during the accounting period for which such recalculation was made, with the Buyer paying to the Seller the portion of such excess which the Seller is so entitled to receive. If, with respect to any tenant, the recalculated Overage Rent is less than the estimated amount paid by such tenant, (1) the entire shortfall shall be paid by the Seller to the Buyer (or, at the Seller's option, directly to the tenant in question), if the accounting period for which such recalculation was made expired prior to the Closing and (2) such shortfall shall be apportioned between the Seller and the Buyer as of the Closing Date (on the basis described in the first sentence of subsection 10.2(c) above), if the Closing occurred during the accounting period for which such recalculation was made, with the Seller paying to the Buyer (or, at the Seller's option, directly to the tenant in question) the portion of such shortfall so allocable to the Seller. (f) Until such time as all amounts required to be paid to the Seller by the Buyer pursuant to Section 10.1 and this Section 10.2 shall have been paid in full, the Buyer shall furnish to the Seller not less frequently than monthly a reasonably detailed accounting of such amounts payable by the Buyer, which accounting shall be delivered to the Seller on or prior to the 15th day following the last day of each calendar month from and after the calendar month in which the Closing occurs. The Seller shall have the right from time to time following the Closing, on prior notice to the Buyer, during ordinary business hours on Business Days, to review the Buyer's rental records with respect to the Property to ascertain the accuracy of such accountings. Section 10.3 Taxes and Assessments. Real estate taxes and assessments payable in the year in which the Closing occurs shall be adjusted and prorated based on (a) the periods of ownership by the Seller and the -30-
EX-1036th Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 36th
Buyer during such year and (b) the most current official real property tax information available from the county assessor's office where the Property is located or other assessing authorities. If real property tax and assessment figures for the taxes or assessments to be apportioned between the Buyer and the Seller pursuant to this Section are not available, real property taxes shall be prorated based on the most recent assessment, subject to further and final adjustment when the tax rate and/or assessed valuation for such taxes and assessments for the Property is fixed. In the event that the Property or any part thereof shall be or shall have been affected by an assessment or assessments, whether or not the same become payable in annual installments, the Seller shall, at the Closing, be responsible for any installments due prior to the Closing and the Buyer shall be responsible for any installments due on or after the Closing. Section 10.4 Water and Sewer Charges. Water rates, water meter charges, sewer rents and vault charges, if any (other than any such charges, rates or rents which are payable by tenants of the Property pursuant to such tenants' Space Leases), shall be adjusted and prorated on the basis of the fiscal period for which assessed. If there be a water meter, or meters, on the Property, the Seller agrees that they shall at the Closing furnish a reading of same to a date not more than 30 days prior to the Closing and the unfixed meter charges and the unfixed sewer rent thereon for the time intervening from the date of the last reading shall be apportioned on the basis of such last reading, and shall be appropriately readjusted after the Closing on the basis of the next subsequent bills. Unmetered water charges shall be apportioned on the basis of the charges therefor for the same period of the preceding calendar year, but applying the current rate thereto. As to any unpaid water charges or sewer rents payable directly by tenants, the Buyer shall consummate the Closing subject to such unpaid charges and rents and any lien resulting therefrom, without credit against the Purchase Price or any claim or right of action against the Seller.

The Seller and the Buyer shall jointly execute a letter to each of such utility companies advising such utility companies of the termination of the Seller's responsibility for such charges for utilities furnished to the Property as of the date of the Closing and commencement of the Buyer's responsibilities therefor from and after such date. If a bill is obtained from any such utility company as of the Closing, the Seller shall pay such bill on or before the Closing. If such bill shall not have been obtained on or before the Closing, the Seller shall, upon receipt of such bill, pay all -31-
EX-1037th Page of 70TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 37th
