PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

This Purchase and Sale Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of                       , 2006 (“Execution Date”), between 3200 WALNUT LL, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Seller”) and                                       , a                                           (“Buyer’’).

In consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:

1. - PURCHASE AND SALE

1.1                                 Purchase and Sale.

At Closing (as defined in Section 4.1), Seller shall sell the Property (as defined in Section 1.2) to Buyer and Buyer shall purchase the Property from Seller, on the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

1.2                                 Description of Property.

The “Property” shall consist of all of the following:

a.                                       That certain parcel of land described in Exhibit A attached hereto (“Land”), together with all of the improvements and fixtures on the Land, exclusive of improvements and fixtures owned by tenants under the Leases, if any, including, without limitation, four (4) buildings containing approximately 143,900 rentable square feet (collectively, the “Building”), and all privileges and easements appurtenant to and for the benefit of the Land, if any;

b.                                      Seller’s interest in and to all assignable contracts, including any parking agreements, utility contracts, equipment leases and maintenance contracts, relating to operation and maintenance of the Building, including without limitation, the contracts listed in Exhibit B attached hereto (“Contracts”);

c.                                       Seller’s interest in all assignable governmental permits, licenses, certificates and authorizations relating to the use or operation of the Land (“Permits”);

d.                                      Seller’s interest under those leases and/or license agreements affecting the Property, including without limitation, those listed in Exhibit C attached hereto, together with all rent, income and all proceeds arising therefrom and security and other deposits made by the tenants thereunder (“Leases”);

e.                                       Seller’s interest, if any, in and to all tangible personal property now or hereafter located on the Land, including without limitation: equipment; machinery; furniture; art work; furnishings; office equipment and supplies, excluding cash and deposits, bonds or other security (“Tangible Personal Property”); and

1




f.                                         Seller’s interest, if any, in and to all intangible personal property now or hereafter used exclusively in connection with the operation, ownership, maintenance, management, or occupancy of the Land (to the extent assignable); the plans and specifications for the Building (to the extent assignable); warranties, indemnities, applications, governmental permits, approvals, certificates and licenses (to the extent applicable in any way to the Land or the Tangible Personal Property and assignable); and insurance proceeds and condemnation awards or claims thereto to the extent required to be assigned to Buyer hereunder, excluding computer software and all confidential and proprietary information and intellectual property of Seller (“Intangible Personal Property”).

ARTICLE 2 - PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT

2.1                                 Purchase Price.

Buyer shall pay as the purchase price for the Property the sum of Twenty-Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($28,500,000) (“Purchase Price”).

2.2                                 Payment of Purchase Price.

The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:

a.                                       Within two (2) business days after Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deliver to the Title Company (as defined in Section 3.1) Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000) (together with interest, “Deposit”) to be held in an interest-bearing escrow account (“Escrow’’).  The Deposit shall be non-refundable, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, and shall be credited to the Purchase Price at Closing.

b.                                      At Closing, Buyer shall pay to Seller the balance of the Purchase Price, subject to adjustment for the Deposit.

ARTICLE 3 - BUYER’S DUE DILIGENCE

3.1                                 Seller’s Deliveries.

a.                                       Seller shall order, cause to be delivered to Buyer, and/or make available to Buyer at Seller’s property management offices, within ten (10) days following the Execution Date (collectively, “Seller’s Deliveries”) (i) a current preliminary title report (“Preliminary Report”) issued by Land America Title Insurance (“Title Company”) committing to insure merchantable title in Buyer pursuant to an ALTA 1992 form owner’s title insurance policy, together with copies of all title exception documents in the Preliminary Report and a tax certificate; (ii) a copy of each of the Contracts and Leases,; and (iii) to the extent the following are in Seller’s or its property manager’s possession and control: (A) a copy of each environmental assessment report, study or survey or any material document, notice or correspondence directly concerning the environmental condition of the Property, (B) rent rolls, operating statements, tax statements, property management records and maintenance records for the three (3) years immediately preceding this Agreement, (C) plans and specifications relating to the original development of the Property, (D) copies of any material documents or materials relating to any litigation, investigation, condemnation or proceeding of any kind pending or threatened against

2




the Property; and (E) a copy of the existing survey of the Land (“Existing Survey”).  At Buyer’s request, Seller shall order an update to the Existing Survey or a new survey (“Updated Survey”).  Seller shall request that the standard, preprinted exceptions be deleted from the Title Policy and shall provide such affidavits and other documentation as may be reasonably requested by the Title Company to delete such exceptions, subject to Seller’s reasonable approval of same.

b.                                      On or before the date that is five (5) days following Buyer’s receipt of the Preliminary Title Report, copies of all title exception documents in the Preliminary Report, and (if applicable the Updated Survey, and in any event on or before the Inspection Deadline (“Title Objection Date “), Buyer shall give Seller written notice of any exceptions reflected in the Preliminary Report (“Title Exceptions”) and/or any matters shown on the Existing Survey (or, if applicable, the Updated Survey) (“Survey Matters”) that are objectionable to Buyer, in its sole and absolute direction (collectively, “Title Objections”).  Within three (3) business days after receiving Buyer’s notice of Title Objections, Seller may notify Buyer in writing whether Seller, in its sole discretion, will cause, on or before the Closing Date, the removal or other resolution of any Title Exception or Survey Matter constituting a Title Objection; if Seller fails to provide timely notice to Buyer, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure such Title Objection.  If Seller elects not to remove or otherwise resolve a Title Objection or fails to provide timely notice thereof to Buyer, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within two (2) days after receiving Seller’s notice electing not to remove or resolve a Title Objection (or failing to receive Seller’s timely notice), whereupon the parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (excluding those which expressly survive Closing) and Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit.  If Buyer fails to timely provide such notice, Buyer’s Title Objections shall be deemed waived by Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees to remove all Title Objections consisting of liens or encumbrances that secure obligations for Seller’s borrowed money and any exceptions or encumbrances to title that are created by or through Seller after the Execution Date.  Seller may “remove” a Title Objection by causing the Title Company to provide, at Seller’s expense, affirmative insurance under the Title Policy against loss arising from the same in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer.

c.                                       If, subsequent to the expiration of the Title Objection Date and prior to Closing, Buyer notifies Seller of the existence of any encumbrance, encroachment, defect in or other matter materially and adversely affecting title which does not appear on the Preliminary Report, but is disclosed in an update of such report (a “Subsequent Defect”), Seller will use such efforts and will expend such amount as it may, in its sole judgment, deem appropriate to remove or cure such Subsequent Defect of title prior to Closing.  Seller will have no obligation, however, to cure any Subsequent Defect; provided, however, that, in accordance with the foregoing subsection (b), Seller shall continue to be obligated to remove all liens or encumbrances that secure obligations for Seller’s borrowed money and any exceptions or encumbrances to title that are created by or through Seller after the Execution Date.  If Seller does not or is unable to so remove or cure all Subsequent Defects prior to Closing, Buyer may (i) waive all such uncured Subsequent Defects and accept such title as Seller is able to convey as of Closing without an abatement of the Purchase Price; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (excluding those which expressly survive Closing) and Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit.  Notice by Buyer to Seller of any Subsequent Defect must be given to Seller within two (2) business days of the receipt by Buyer of the updated Title Report that discloses the same.  Buyer’s failure to give Seller notice of

3




any such Subsequent Defect within such period shall constitute Buyer’s waiver of such Subsequent Defect, and such Subsequent Defect shall become a Permitted Exception.

d.                                      Those Title Exceptions and/or Survey Matters to which Buyer does not object or with respect to which Buyer has waived, or is deemed to have waived, any such objection, shall be “Permitted Exceptions.”  Permitted Exceptions shall also include all subsequent liens or encumbrances which Buyer shall accept or approve as provided in this Agreement, all existing Leases, real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, and all liens or encumbrances which are attributable to the acts or omissions of Amgen Inc. or Array BioPharma Inc., or persons claiming by, through or under either of them, including without limitation any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.

e.                                       Buyer shall have the right to request from the Title Company the Buyer’s Endorsements.  As used herein the term “Buyer’s Endorsements” shall mean, to the extent such endorsements are available under the laws of the state in which the Property is located:  (1) owner’s comprehensive; (2) access; (3) survey (accuracy of survey); (4) location (survey legal matches title legal); (5) separate tax lot; (6) subdivision map act; (7) zoning 3.1, with parking and loading docks; (8) mechanic’s lien; (9) deletion of creditors’ rights exception; (10) endorsement over environmental protection liens; (11) utilities endorsement; and (12) such other endorsements as Buyer may require before the Title Objection Date based on its review of the Preliminary Report and Updated Survey.  Satisfaction of any requirements imposed by the Title Company in connection with the issuance of the Buyer’s endorsements shall be Buyer’s sole responsibility and shall not be a condition to or in any way delay the Closing.  Buyer shall be responsible for the cost of the Buyer’s Endorsements.

3.2                                 Buyer’s Duty to Investigate.

a.                                       In accordance with the terms and conditions of the Access and Due Diligence Agreement between Seller and Buyer, dated May 23, 2006, Buyer and its representatives shall have access to the Property for Buyer’s due diligence and inspections of the Property.  Such Access and Due Diligence Agreement is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part hereof.

b.                                      Buyer acknowledges that it has had or will have the opportunity to conduct whatever inspection and review of the Property that Buyer deems relevant to Buyer’s decision to purchase the Property, and agrees to purchase the Property AS-IS.  Accordingly:

(i)                                     BUYER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SELLER TO EXECUTE AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PERFORMANCE BY SELLER OF ITS DUTIES AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY HEREUNDER IS AND WILL BE MADE ON AN “AS IS, WHERE IS” BASIS. EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 6.1 HEREOF, SELLER HAS NOT MADE, DOES NOT MAKE AND SPECIFICALLY NEGATES AND DISCLAIMS ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR GUARANTIES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, PAST, PRESENT, FUTURE OR OTHERWISE, OF, AS TO, CONCERNING OR WITH

(ii)                                  BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT AS OF THE EXPIRATION OF ITS INSPECTION RIGHTS, BUYER SHALL HAVE COMPLETED ALL PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL EXAMINATIONS RELATING TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE PROPERTY HEREUNDER AND WILL ACQUIRE THE SAME SOLELY ON THE BASIS OF SUCH EXAMINATIONS AND THE TITLE INSURANCE PROTECTION FOR THE

a.                                       Seller shall endeavor to secure and deliver to Buyer estoppel certificates from tenants (and subtenants) under all Leases substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (collectively, the “Tenant Estoppels”).  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the same, duly executed by the tenants (and any subtenants), and to deliver the same to Buyer prior to the Closing Date; provided, however, that the Tenant Estoppels shall not be a Buyer’s Closing Condition.

During the pendency of this Agreement:

a.                                       Seller shall cause the Property to be operated only in the ordinary and usual course of business and consistent with past practice, shall, subject to reasonable wear and tear, preserve intact the Property, preserve the good will and advantageous relationships of Seller with customers, suppliers, independent contractors, employees and other persons or entities material to the operation of its business, shall perform its obligations under Leases and Contracts and shall not take any action or omission which would cause any of the representations or warranties of Seller contained herein to become inaccurate or any of the covenants of Seller to be breached.

c.                                       Seller will not enter into or amend, terminate, waive any default under, or grant concessions regarding any contract or agreement that will be an obligation affecting the Property or binding on Buyer after the Closing without Buyer’s prior written consent in each instance; provided, however, that prior to the Inspection Deadline, Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

d.                                      Seller will not enter into any Lease, or amend, terminate, waive any default under, grant concessions regarding, or incur any obligation for leasing commissions or otherwise in connection with any Lease without Buyer’s prior written consent in each instance; provided, however, that prior to the Inspection Deadline, Buyer’s consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

ARTICLE 8 - RISK OF LOSS

8.1                                 Major Damage.

If, before the Closing Date, the Property, or any part thereof, is destroyed or suffers damage which is estimated (by an independent contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer) to cost more than $1,000,000 to repair, and if such damage is not due to gross negligence of Buyer, or if condemnation proceedings are commenced against any portion of the Property which materially and adversely affect access, reduce parking or take any part of the Building or other permanent improvements located on the Property, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller within five (5) business days after receiving written notice of such damage, destruction or condemnation proceedings (but in any event before the Closing Date), whereupon the parties’ respective obligations under this Agreement shall terminate (excluding those which expressly survive Closing) and Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit.  If Buyer does not so terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall accept the Property in its then condition and proceed with the purchase without reducing the Purchase Price, and at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable to Seller by reason of such damage, destruction or condemnation,

13




less any amounts applied to the loss, and credit to Buyer the amount of the deductible under the applicable insurance.

8.2                                 Lesser Damage.

In the event of damage to the Property which is estimated (by an independent contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer) to cost less than $1,000,000  to repair, or if condemnation proceedings are commenced only against a portion of the Property which does not materially and adversely affect access, reduce parking or take any part of the Building or other permanent improvements located on the Property, Buyer shall accept the Property in its then condition and proceed with the purchase without reducing the Purchase Price and at Closing Seller shall assign to Buyer all insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable to Seller by reason of such damage or destruction or condemnation, less any amounts applied to the loss, and credit to Buyer the amount of the deductible under the applicable insurance.

IF THIS AGREEMENT TERMINATES PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR BUYER’S BREACH OF THE OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, WHICH SUM SHALL BE PRESUMED TO BE THE AMOUNT OF ACTUAL DAMAGES SUSTAINED BY SELLER BY REASON OF BUYER’S BREACH.  BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT, DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN SHOULD BUYER BREACH ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS TRANSACTION AND AGREE THAT THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN BY VIRTUE OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.  NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND DOES NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLER’S REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO BUYER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

14

9.3                                 Post-Closing Remedies.

If, after the Closing, Seller or Buyer fails to perform its respective obligations that expressly survive the Closing, then Seller or Buyer, as the case may be, may exercise any remedies available to it at law or in equity, including specific performance or actual (as opposed to consequential, incidental or special) damages.  In such event, the liquidated damages provision contained in Section 9.1 shall not apply.
