B. Buyer desires to purchase the Property on the terms and conditions hereinafter documented.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual undertakings of the parties hereto, it is hereby agreed as follows:

     1. Purchase and Sale. Seller shall sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase from Seller, the Property on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

          1.1 Property. As used herein, the “Property” means, collectively, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to (i) that certain land described in Exhibit “A”, together with all easements, rights-of-way, and appurtenances benefitting such land (the “Land”), (ii) any land lying in the bed of any street, road, alley or right-of-way, open or closed, adjacent to or abutting the Land, (iii) any and all air rights, subsurface rights, development rights, entitlements, wastewater capacities and credit reservations, and water rights pertaining to the Land or the Improvements (as hereinafter defined), (iv) all improvements, structures and fixtures now or on the “Closing Date” (as hereinafter defined) located upon the Land (the “Improvements”), (v) all machinery, equipment, gas and electric systems, lighting, heating, ventilating and air conditioning equipment and systems, elevators, radiators, incinerators, furnaces, hot water heaters, water, sewage, and plumbing systems, fire protection and security systems, and all other tangible personal property now or on the Closing Date located on or used in connection with the Land and Improvements, in each case to the extent Seller has any right, title or interest therein (the “Personal Property”), and (vi) all “Leases” (as hereinafter defined), and (vii) all “Service Agreements” (as hereinafter defined), (viii) to the extent assignable, all governmental permits, certificates of occupancy, licenses and approvals, (ix) all warranties and guarantees that Seller has received in connection with any work or services performed with respect to, or equipment installed in or on, the Improvements or the Land, and (x) all tenant lists, advertising material, telephone exchange numbers and other intangible personal property related to the Land,

Improvements or Personal Property, in each case to the extent Seller has any right, title or interest therein (the “Intangible Property”). The Property includes the items specified on Exhibit “B” and, notwithstanding the foregoing, excludes any items of personal property owned by tenants or any other third parties not affiliated with Seller (provided, however, Seller shall assign to Buyer any right, title, interest or claim of Seller [e.g., landlord’s liens] in and to any such excluded items of personal property).

     2. Purchase Price. The purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) shall be SIXTY-NINE MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($69,000,000.00).

     3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid to Seller by Buyer as follows:

          3.1 Escrow Deposit. Within ten (10) calendar days after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 4.1.1 below), Buyer shall deliver the sum of FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($500,000.00) to First American Title Insurance Company at its offices at 899 Pacific Street, San Luis Obispo, California 93402- Attention: Lisa Blasquez; Telephone No. (805)  ###-###-####, which company, in its capacity as escrow holder hereunder, is called “Escrow Agent” (this amount, together with all interest earned thereon, are collectively herein called the “Initial Escrow Deposit”). If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined), then on or prior to the last day of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall deposit an additional Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000.00) (the “Additional Escrow Deposit”) with Escrow Agent; the Initial Escrow Deposit and, if made, the Additional Escrow Deposit (as hereinafter defined), together with all interest earned thereon, are referred to collectively in this Agreement as the “Escrow Deposit”. The Escrow Deposit shall be delivered to Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by bank or cashier’s check drawn on a national bank reasonably satisfactory to Seller. The Escrow Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent as a deposit against the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement. At all times that the Escrow Deposit is being held by the Escrow Agent, the Escrow Deposit shall be invested by Escrow Agent in the following investments (“Approved Investments”): (i) United States Treasury obligations, (ii) United States Treasury-backed repurchase agreements issued by a major national money center banking institution reasonably acceptable to Seller and Buyer, or (iii) such other manner as may be reasonably agreed to by Seller and Buyer. The Escrow Deposit shall be disposed of by Escrow Agent only as provided in this Agreement.

          3.2 Closing Payment. The Purchase Price, as adjusted by the application of the Escrow Deposit and by the prorations and credits specified herein, shall be paid to Escrow Agent by wire transfer or immediately available federal funds (through the escrow described in Section 5) on the Closing Date (the amount to be paid under this Section 3.2 being herein called the “Closing Payment”).

     4. Conditions Precedent. The obligation of Buyer to purchase as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to Seller’s satisfaction of each of conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement (any of which may be waived in writing by Buyer) on or before the applicable date specified for satisfaction of the applicable condition. If any of such conditions is not fulfilled (or

so waived) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement and, in connection with any such termination made in accordance with this Section 4, Seller and Buyer shall be released from further obligation or liability hereunder (except for those obligations and liabilities which, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, survive such termination and without releasing any party for a breach or default occurring prior to such termination), and the Escrow Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer.

          4.1 Limited Due Diligence Period

               4.1.1 Information To Be Reviewed. Buyer, or its lender, shall have from the date of execution of this Agreement (the “Effective Date”) through the date which is SIXTY (60) days after the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”) within which to perform and complete all of Buyer’s due diligence/feasibility examinations, title and survey and other reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the Property (keeping all information confidential; subject, however to the provisions of Section 4.1.2 hereof). In particular, the following may be reviewed by Buyer or its lender:

     (a) a current ALTA title commitment covering the Property, together with complete and best available copies of all exception and other documents or instruments referenced therein (collectively, the “Preliminary Title Report”) from First American Title Insurance Company (which company, in its capacity as title insurer hereunder, is herein called the “Title Company”), setting forth the current status of title to the Property and committing to insure the same for the full amount of the Purchase Price;

     (b) a true, correct and complete copy of the most recent existing ALTA survey of the Property (the “Existing Survey”), which Buyer may have updated and/or recertified at Buyer’s expense;

     (c) true, correct and complete copies of all Leases (and all modifications and amendments thereto, all related correspondence, side letters, indemnity and/or reimbursement agreements, letters of credit and other documents and materials relating thereto, and, to the extent in Seller’s possession, copies of all subleases and other occupancy agreements affecting the Property) (including a current certified rent roll, which shall be re-certified and updated at Closing) and Service Agreements;

     (d) all physical, environmental, seismic and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Property, but excluding any confidential information; provided, however, in the case of any confidential information that would be material to Buyer in deciding whether to purchase the Property or make a loan thereon, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of the existence of the same and shall either (i) give Buyer the right to terminate this Agreement or (ii) disclose the same to Buyer on the condition that Buyer executes a confidentiality agreement reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller. During the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall provide Buyer with reasonable access to the Property and its files relating to the Property (excluding confidential information, except as aforesaid) upon reasonable advance notice and shall also provide to Buyer copies of such leases and service contracts and other items as Buyer shall request, all upon reasonable advance notice;

     (e) copies of all existing as-built architectural, structural, civil, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing plans and specifications, and as-built drawings of tenant improvements in place for the Property within Seller’s possession or control, and, to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, all space plans, stacking plans and area calculations (provided such are within Seller’s possession or control);

     (f) copies of any soil, groundwater contamination, seismic, environmental, physical condition or other assessments, evaluations, reports, studies or test results to the extent the same have been prepared;

     (g) true, correct and complete copies of all operating statements (year to date and for a period of the prior three (3) years), budgets and all appraisals, maintenance records, repair records, tax and utility bills, operational records and other such records pertaining to the acquisition, construction, ownership, condition and operation of the Property within Seller’s possession or control;

     (h) true, correct and complete copies of all licenses, approvals, certificates and permits (including certificates of occupancy), agreements with adjacent or nearby landowners or occupants, or other such agreements pertaining to the ownership, construction, operation, leasing or maintenance of the Property within Seller’s possession or control; and

     (i) the other matters specifically listed on Exhibit “U” attached hereto.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that Seller’s maintenance records, repair records, tax and utility bills and operational records are voluminous in nature, and, therefore, Seller shall make such documentation available for Buyer’s review. Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver (or cause to be delivered) to Buyer the documents and other materials described in clauses (a), (b), (d) and (f) and (i) and shall have otherwise made the materials described in clause (d), (e), (g) and (h) available for Buyer’s review and inspection at the Property. Without in any manner limiting the foregoing, Seller covenants and agrees that, commencing on the Effective Date, Buyer and its accountants, auditors and other representatives shall have access to all of Seller’s financial and accounting information within Seller’s possession or control and relating to the operation of the Property, including all supporting documentation relating thereto.

               4.1.2. Review Standards. Buyer shall at all times conduct its due diligence review, inspections and examinations in a manner so as to not cause liability, damage, loss, cost or expense to Seller or the Property (other than that arising from the discovery of preexisting conditions) and so as to not unreasonably interfere with or disturb any tenant at the Property, and Buyer will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller and the Property harmless from and against any such liability, damage, loss, cost or expense, except to the extent based on any such preexisting conditions or on the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or its employees or agents (the foregoing obligation surviving any termination of this Agreement). Without limitation on the foregoing, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), in no event shall Buyer make any intrusive physical testing

(environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Property (such as soil borings, water samplings or the like). Seller shall have the right, at its option, to cause a representative of Seller to be present at all inspections, reviews and examinations of the Property conducted hereunder. In the event of any termination hereunder, Buyer shall return all documents and other materials furnished by Seller hereunder and at Seller’s written request, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller, without warranty, copies of any written reports relating to the Property prepared for or on behalf of Buyer by any third party engaged by Buyer. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall keep all information or data received or discovered in connection with any of the inspections, reviews or examinations strictly confidential; provided, however, that (i) such information or data may be disclosed by Buyer (a) to the extent required by law, (b) to Buyer’s lender and to Buyer’s and such lender’s respective representatives, agents and affiliates (including attorneys and accountants) to the extent such representatives and agents need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the purchase contemplated hereby and any loan made in connection therewith and are instructed to maintain such confidentiality, (c) as may otherwise be necessary for Buyer or Buyer’s representatives or affiliates, Hines Interests Limited Partnership (“Hines”) or its affiliates or any other entities advised by Hines or its affiliates to comply with applicable laws, including, without limitation, governmental, regulatory, disclosure, tax and reporting requirements (including without limitation, the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the New York Stock Exchange and/or any similar body or agency), to comply with other requirements and requests of regulatory and supervisory authorities and self-regulatory organizations having jurisdiction over Buyer or Buyer’s representatives or affiliates, Hines or its affiliates or any other entities advised by Hines or its affiliates, (d) to comply with regulatory or judicial processes, or (d) to satisfy reporting procedures and inquiries of credit rating agencies in accordance with customary practices of Buyer or its affiliates; and (ii) the foregoing confidentiality restriction shall not apply to any information or data that is available to Buyer from any other source (other than by reason of a breach by Buyer of such confidentiality restriction).

          4.1.3 CONFIDENTIAL NATURE, AND LIMITED ACCESS, OF DUE DILIGENCE ACTIVITIES

          Buyer recognizes and acknowledges that the primary tenant in the Property is the State of California. Hence, in order not to create any confusion or misunderstandings on said tenant’s part while Buyer is performing its Due Diligence, Buyer agrees to (a) except as otherwise permitted by Section 4.1.2, hold confidential the possible sale of the Property by Seller, and not to discuss such with any third parties information which could in any way be learned, directly or indirectly, by the State of California, (b) only make inquires of representatives of any tenants in the Property through individuals identified in writing by Seller, and (c) discuss the possible sale of the Property with said individuals in the presence of authorized representatives of Seller (as identified by Seller in writing).

		Initial		Initial

               4.1.4 Termination Right. If (a) on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall determine that it no longer intends to acquire the Property for any reason or no reason at all and at Buyer’s sole discretion, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by so notifying Seller of such determination in writing (such notice

being herein called the “Termination Notice”), whereupon this Agreement, and the obligations of the parties hereunder, shall terminate (other than those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), or (ii) in the event Buyer fails to deposit the Additional Escrow Deposit with Escrow Agent prior the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in accordance with Section 3.1 hereof, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement, and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (other than those obligations that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), and upon any such termination or deemed termination, the Escrow Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer. In the event Buyer fails to terminate (or is not deemed to have terminated) this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Escrow Deposit shall become non-refundable, except in the event of a Seller default, upon the failure of a closing condition, or as may otherwise be provided to the contrary in this Agreement (e.g., in connection with casualty, condemnation, certain tenant estoppel issues, certain leases entered into by Seller over Buyer’s disapproval, etc.).

          4.2 Title and Survey Review/Objections. Buyer shall have until the date (the “Title/Survey Objection Date”) that is fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to give written notice to Seller of such objections as Buyer may have to any exceptions to title or survey matters disclosed in the Preliminary Title Report or in the Existing Survey (or any update or recertification thereof) or otherwise in Buyer’s examination of title. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as provided in Section 4.3 below), to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any title or survey matters to which Buyer objects hereunder. Within five (5) days after receipt of Buyer’s objection notice, Seller shall give written notice to Buyer informing Buyer of Seller’s election with respect to such objections. If Seller fails to give written notice of such election within such 5-day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the objections. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure any title or survey matters to which Buyer has objected or if, after electing to attempt to cure, Seller fails to cure any such objections prior to Closing, Buyer may either (i) waive such objections and accept title to the Property subject thereto, or (ii) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Deposit (together with all interest earned thereon) shall be immediately returned to Buyer. Any title or survey matter (other than the matters described in Section 4.3 which shall in all events be cured, satisfied and discharged at or prior to Closing whether or not Buyer objects to same) reflected in the Preliminary Title Report or the Existing Survey as to which Buyer fails to object on or prior to the Title/Survey Objection Date and any other title or survey matter as to which Buyer (in its sole discretion) elects to waive its objection as provided above, shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”.

          4.3 Existing Loan. The Property is currently encumbered by a certain deed of trust and other loan documents securing a loan to Seller (the “Existing Loan”). The Existing Loan will come due upon the sale contemplated hereby and a portion of the Purchase Price will be used by Seller to repay the Existing Loan (and any related prepayment or defeasance penalties, premiums, costs or other charges) in full. Additionally, Seller shall cure, satisfy, discharge and release, at or prior to Closing, any other mortgage, deed of trust or similar security instrument encumbering all or any part of the Property, any mechanic’s, materialman’s or similar lien (unless resulting from any act or omission of Buyer or any of its agents), any delinquent taxes, assessments and governmental charges affecting all or any portion of the Property, and any judgment of record affecting the Property.

          4.4 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. Receipt of estoppel certificates (“Tenant Estoppel Certificates”) from all the tenants of the Property occupying not less than ninety percent (90%) of the total net rentable square footage of the Property covered by Leases in effect as of the Closing Date, shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to acquire the Property hereunder. Each Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the applicable form provided in Exhibit “D”; provided, however, that with respect to any tenant of the Property which is the State of California or a division thereof, any such Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall be in the then current form of estoppel customarily provided by the State of California or such division thereof and not in the form of Exhibit “D”. Seller shall deliver to Buyer fully executed original Estoppel Certificates no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the Closing Date (as hereinafter defined) (the "Tenant Estoppel Certificate Deadline”), which Estoppel Certificates shall be re-certified by Seller prior to the Closing Date in order to conform with the requirements of Buyer’s lender. Buyer shall have until five (5) calendar days prior to the Closing Date (the “Estoppel Objection Period”) to examine the Tenant Estoppel Certificates and to notify Seller in writing specifying Buyer’s objections (the “Buyer’s Estoppel Notice”); provided that if Buyer fails to give Seller the Buyer’s Estoppel Notice before the expiration of the Estoppel Objection Period, the Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Estoppel Certificates and to have waived any matters reflected thereon. If Buyer has timely delivered to Seller the Buyer’s Estoppel Notice, then Seller shall prior to the expiration of the Estoppel Objection Period deliver to Buyer written notice specifying the items set forth in the Buyer’s Notice which Seller, in its sole discretion, shall elect to cure (the "Seller’s Estoppel Notice”). In connection with any items set forth in the Seller’s Estoppel Notice, Seller agrees to use its reasonable good faith efforts to cause such defects set forth in the Seller’s Estoppel Notice to be cured by the Closing Date. If, for any reason, on or before the Closing Date, Seller does not cause: (i) any matters which are set forth in the Seller’s Estoppel Notice to be removed at no cost or expense to Buyer; or (ii) any new material adverse matters reflected in any re-certified Estoppel Certificate as objected to in writing by Buyer within two (2) days from receipt of any such re-certified Estoppel Certificate to be cured at no cost or expense to Buyer, the obligation of Buyer to buy the Property as herein provided shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement), and the Escrow Deposit (together with all interest earned thereon) shall be immediately returned to Buyer.

          4.5 Performance by Seller. The performance and observance, in all material respects, by Seller of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Seller prior to or on the Closing Date shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property. Without limitation on the foregoing, in the event that the “Seller Closing Certificate” (as hereinafter defined) shall disclose any material adverse changes in the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement or any certificate delivered by Seller in connection herewith which are not otherwise permitted or contemplated by the terms of this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Deposit (together with all interest earned thereon) shall be immediately returned to Buyer.

     5. Closing Procedure. Subject to Section 5.5 below, the sale and purchase herein provided shall be consummated (the “Closing”) at a closing conference (“Closing Conference”),

which shall be held on the Closing Date by mail or at a mutually satisfactory location. As used herein, “Closing Date” shall be that date which is the thirtieth (30th) day from and after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or such earlier date as may be agreed upon by Seller and Buyer. The Closing Date is subject to extension as set forth in Section 5.1.

          5.1 Escrow. On or before 1:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Closing Date, the parties shall deliver to Escrow Agent the following: (i) by Seller, a duly executed and acknowledged original grant deed (the “Deed”) in the form of Exhibit “E”, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and (ii) by Buyer, the Closing Payment in immediately available federal funds. If the Closing Payment is received on the Closing Date but after 1:00 p.m. Pacific time, then the Closing Date shall be changed to the next business day. Such delivery shall be made pursuant to escrow instructions (“Escrow Instructions”) to be executed among Buyer, Seller and Escrow Agent in the form of Exhibit “F”. The conditions to the closing of such escrow shall include the Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Closing Payment and a notice from each of Buyer and Seller authorizing Title Company to close the transactions as contemplated herein (each of Buyer and Seller being obligated to deliver such authorization notice on the Closing Date as soon as it is reasonably satisfied that the other party is in a position to deliver the items to be delivered by such other party under Section 5.2 below and all conditions to Buyer’s obligations hereunder shall have been satisfied or waived by Buyer in writing).

          5.2 Delivery to Parties. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the Escrow Instructions (including all conditions to Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder), then (i) the Deed shall be delivered to Buyer by Escrow Agent’s depositing the same for recordation, (ii) the Closing Payment (and the Escrow Deposit) shall be delivered by Escrow Agent to satisfy the Existing Loan (and any other matters which Seller is obligated by Sections 4.2 or 4.3 or any other provision of this Agreement to pay, satisfy or discharge at Closing) and any balance shall be paid to Seller and (iii) on the Closing Date, the following items shall be delivered:

               5.2.1 Seller Deliveries. Seller shall deliver to Buyer the following:

                    (a) A duly executed bill of sale, assignment and assumption agreement (“Assignment and Assumption Agreement”) from Seller with respect to the tangible and intangible personal property included in the Property (including the Leases and Service Agreements) in the form of Exhibit “G,” together with any and all consents as may be required to effect the assignment of any tangible or intangible personal property;

                    (b) A duly executed certificate of Seller (the “Seller Closing Certificate”) in the form of Exhibit “I” updating the representations and warranties contained in Section 7.1 hereof to the Closing Date and noting any changes thereto (subject, however, to Buyer’s right to terminate as provided herein with respect to any such changes);

In addition, Seller shall direct its property management company, if any, to deliver any documents or other files of Seller in such management company’s possession to Buyer at the Closing or to be left at the offices of the Property;

                    (f) A Certificate of Non-Foreign Status;

                    (g) A California Franchise Tax Board Form 590RE certifying that Seller is exempt from withholding requirements under Revenue & Taxation Code Section 18662;

                    (h) Any customary owner’s affidavit and indemnities for mechanics’ liens and similar matters as may be required by the Title Company to issue the Title Policy (defined below) to Buyer; and

                    (i) Such additional documents as may be reasonably required by Buyer and Title Company in order to consummate the transactions hereunder (provided the same do not increase in any material respect the costs to, or liability or obligations of, Seller in a manner not otherwise provided for herein).

               5.2.2 Buyer Deliveries. Buyer shall deliver to Seller the following:

                    (a) A duly executed and acknowledged Assignment and Assumption Agreement;

          5.3 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay (i) all state, county and city transfer taxes payable, (including any sales taxes thereon) if any, in connection with the transfer contemplated herein, (ii) the title insurance premium for the CLTA portion of the Owner’s Policy, (iii) 50% of all escrow charges, (iv) 50% of any costs incurred in recording the Deed or any other instruments with respect to the transfer contemplated herein, and (v) all costs to satisfy, release and discharge any Existing Loan, including, without limitation, any prepayment or defeasance penalty, premium or charge, and any of the other matters which Seller is obligated to remove, discharge or cure pursuant to Sections 4.2 or 4.3 hereof. Buyer shall pay (i) 50% of all escrow charges, (ii) the costs of extended coverage and any endorsements to the Owner’s Policy, (iii) the costs, if any, to update the Existing Survey, (iv) 50% of any costs incurred in recording the Deed or any other instrument with respect to the transfer contemplated herein, and (v) all fees, costs or expenses in connection with Buyer’s due diligence reviews hereunder. Any other closing costs shall be allocated in accordance with local custom. Seller and Buyer shall pay their respective shares of prorations as hereinafter provided.

          5.4 Prorations.

               5.4.1 Items to be Prorated. The following shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of 11:59 p.m. the day prior to the Closing Date (on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over the applicable period):

                    (a) All real estate taxes, assessments, bond assessments and personal property taxes on the Property for the tax year (the “Current Tax Year”) in which the Closing occurs (with Seller and Buyer each being responsible for a pro rata share of such taxes and assessments based upon the number of days in such tax year occurring before the Closing Date, in the case of Seller, and on or after the Closing Date, in the case of Buyer). However, in no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Property resulting from the sale contemplated hereby or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing. If any assessments on the Property are payable in installments, then the installment for the current period shall be prorated (with Buyer being allocated the obligation to pay any installments due after the Closing Date).

                    (b) All fixed and additional rentals under the Leases, security deposits (including any utility deposits posted by Seller and assigned to Buyer with the approval of the utility service provider) and other tenant charges. Seller shall provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods after the Closing Date and all refundable security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied

or forfeited prior to the Closing Date) to Buyer on the Closing Date. To the extent any security deposits are in the form of a letter of credit Seller, at Closing and at its sole cost and expense, shall cause such letters of credit to be reissued with Buyer as the named beneficiary thereof. Rents which are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. Buyer shall not waive any delinquent (or unpaid) rents or modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed thereunder for any period with respect to which Seller is entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining Seller’s written consent. After the Closing, Buyer shall include such delinquencies (or unpaid amounts) in its normal billing and diligently pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date (but Buyer shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any Lease). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, from and after the Closing Date, in no event will Seller have the right to threaten or institute any legal or arbitration proceeding to collect any delinquent rents or other amounts from, or threaten the termination of, or any other action with respect to, any Lease of, any tenants who are tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date; provided, however, in the event more than one (1) year has passed since the Closing Date with no collection of any such delinquent rents having been made by Buyer, Seller shall have the right to institute legal or arbitration proceedings to collect any such delinquent rents to which Seller is entitled hereunder, but in no event shall Seller threaten the termination of any Lease or of any tenant’s rights thereunder. Additionally, with respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Property as of the Closing Date, Seller shall retain all rights relating thereto.

                    (c) All operating expenses; however, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance premiums or payroll (because Buyer is not acquiring Seller’s financing, insurance or employees).

               5.4.2 Calculation. The prorations and payments shall be made on the basis of a written statement submitted to Buyer and Seller by Escrow Agent prior to the Close of Escrow and approved by Buyer and Seller. Any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and reprorated when the information is available. In the event any prorations or apportionments made under this Section 5.4.2 shall prove to be incorrect for any reason, then any party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same provided a written request identifying the error in reasonable detail is given to the other parties no later than one (1) year after the Closing.

          As used herein, the term “to Seller’s knowledge”, or like phrases shall mean the actual present and conscious awareness or knowledge of James Gately, Seller’s property manager; provided that such qualification of Seller’s knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal liability on part of the foregoing persons or any other officer in or employees of Seller on account of any breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller herein.

          7.2 Representations and Warranties of Buyer.

               (a) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except for Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, in the Deed or in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the Property in its present “AS IS/WHERE IS” condition and with all defects and neither Seller nor any employee or agent of Seller has made or will make, either expressly or impliedly, any representations, guaranties, promises, statements, assurances or warranties of any kind concerning any of the Property except as expressly provided in this Agreement, in the Deed or in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer will have been given the full opportunity to inspect and investigate the condition of the Property to Buyer’s own satisfaction. Buyer represents to Seller that, except for Seller’s representations and warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement, in the Deed or in the Assignment and Assumption Agreement, it is relying solely upon such inspections and investigations in connection with its purchase of the Property and each portion thereof, and not upon any implied representations, guaranties, promises, statements, assurances or warranties of Seller or any of Seller’s employees or agents as to the condition of the Property. Buyer also understands and agrees that it is purchasing the Property without any obligation on the part of Seller to make any repairs, changes or alterations with respect to the Property (except as may be required by Section 6.2 hereof).

          7.3 Survival. Any cause of action of a party (the “Benefitting Party”) for a breach of the representations and warranties or any other provision in this Agreement (including Buyer’s obligation to maintain the confidentiality of this transaction) or any certificate delivered in connection herewith by the other party (the “Obligated Party”) shall survive until the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date (the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on such date being herein called the “Survival Period”), at which time such representations and warranties and other provisions (and any cause of action resulting from a breach thereof) shall terminate except as to any breach with respect to which the Benefitting Party gives the Obligated Party written notice (identifying such breach with reasonable detail) on or before the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) if a Benefitting Party shall have knowledge prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that any of the representations or warranties of the Obligated Party contained herein or in any certificate delivered in connection herewith are false or inaccurate, and in the event any such Benefitting Party shall not provide written notice to the Obligated Party of the same prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then, upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Obligated Party shall not have any liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall terminate upon the Due Diligence Period); (ii), subject to subparagraph (i), if a Benefitting Party shall have actual knowledge at any time after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Closing Date that any of the representations or warranties of the Obligated Party contained herein or in any certificate

delivered in connection herewith are false or inaccurate, and in the event any such Benefitting Party shall not provide written notice to the Obligated Party of the same prior to the Closing, then, upon Closing the Obligated Party shall not have any liability or obligation respecting such false or inaccurate representations or warranties (and any cause of action resulting therefrom shall terminate upon Closing) and (iii) to the extent any representation and warranty of Seller hereunder is confirmed by a Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to any particular Lease, such representation and warranty shall be deemed stricken from this Agreement (and from any certificate delivered in connection herewith), insofar as such Lease is concerned (and Seller shall not have any obligation or liability with respect thereto).

          8.1 Maintenance and Operation. Seller shall maintain and operate the Property in the same manner as prior hereto pursuant to its normal course of business (such maintenance obligations not including extraordinary capital expenditures or expenditures not incurred in such normal course of business), subject to reasonable wear and tear and further subject to destruction by casualty or other events beyond the reasonable control of Seller. Without limitation of the foregoing, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to maintain its current insurance.

          8.2 Service Agreements.

Seller shall deliver notices of termination on the Closing Date with respect to any Service Agreements identified by Buyer in a written notice from Buyer to Seller prior to Closing stating Buyer’s intention to have such contracts terminated.

At least five (5) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall give Buyer written notice of all new Leases and any amendments, modifications, terminations, renewals or extensions of any existing Leases then or theretofore entered into during the Due Diligence Period. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (unless Buyer shall have theretofore delivered a Termination Notice hereunder), Seller shall not enter into any new Leases or any amendments, modifications, terminations, renewals or extensions of any existing Leases without Buyer’s prior written consent, which may be withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. Buyer shall advise Seller, in writing, whether Buyer approves or disapproves any proposed New Lease or any such proposed modification, amendment or termination, within three (3) days after Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s written request therefor, each of which requests shall be accompanied by (i) a term sheet describing the material terms of the proposed transaction, and (ii) appropriate financial information on the applicable tenant and such other information as Buyer may reasonably require. If Buyer fails to notify Seller within such 3-day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have

disapproved the proposed transaction. If Buyer timely disapproves of any proposed new Lease or any proposed modification, amendment, termination, renewal or extension of an existing Lease, Seller may nevertheless enter into such transaction; provided, however, if Seller enters into such transaction notwithstanding Buyer’s disapproval, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Deposit (together with all interest earned thereon) shall be immediately returned to Buyer.

     However, Buyer recognizes and acknowledges that Seller is currently in the process of finalizing amendments/addendums to several leases, and Seller will keep Buyer apprised of the status thereof and prior to the execution thereof will obtain Buyer’s approval in accordance with the provisions of the immediately preceding paragraph.

          8.4 Access to the Property. Seller shall continue to give Buyer access to the Property in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Section 4.1.

          8.5 Mortgages. Seller shall not further encumber the Property with any mortgages or deeds of trust.

NO OTHER ACTION, FOR DAMAGES OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE PERMITTED, AND BUYER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO RECOVER EITHER CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, AND FURTHER WAIVES THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

          9.2 IN THE EVENT THE TRANSACTION HEREIN PROVIDED SHALL NOT CLOSE FOR ANY REASON OTHER THAN THE FAILURE OF SATISFACTION OF THE CONDITIONS BENEFITTING BUYER UNDER SECTION 4 OR SECTION 6 OR THE DEFAULT OF SELLER, THEN THE ESCROW DEPOSIT SHALL BE DELIVERED TO SELLER AS FULL COMPENSATION AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES UNDER AND IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND IN SUCH EVENT, BUYER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO SELLER FOR MONETARY DAMAGES EXCEPT FOR FORFEITURE OF THE ESCROW DEPOSIT (AND AS PROVIDED UNDER THOSE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT). IN CONNECTION WITH THE FOREGOING, THE PARTIES RECOGNIZE THAT SELLER WILL INCUR EXPENSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THE PROPERTY WILL BE REMOVED FROM THE MARKET; FURTHER, THAT IT IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN THE EXTENT OF DETRIMENT TO SELLER CAUSED BY THE BREACH BY BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND THE FAILURE OF THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION SELLER SHOULD RECEIVE AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S BREACH OR DEFAULT. IN THE EVENT THE SALE CONTEMPLATED HEREBY SHALL NOT BE CONSUMMATED ON ACCOUNT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT, THEN THE RETENTION OF THE ESCROW DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF SUCH DEFAULT, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PARTIES SHALL TAKE SUCH ACTION AS MAY BE REQUIRED TO CAUSE THE ESCROW DEPOSIT TO BE DELIVERED TO SELLER.

Any notice so given by mail shall be deemed to have been given as of the date of delivery (whether accepted or refused) established by U.S. Post Office return receipt or the overnight carrier’s proof of delivery, as the case may be. Any such notice not so given (including notices by facsimile) shall be deemed given upon receipt of the same by the party to whom the same is to be given.

          10.13 Legal Costs. The parties hereto agree that they shall pay directly any and all legal costs which they have incurred on their own behalf in the preparation of this Agreement, all other agreements pertaining to this transaction and that such legal costs shall not be part of the closing costs. In addition, if any party hereto brings any suit or other proceeding with respect to the subject matter or the enforcement of this Agreement, the prevailing party (as determined by

the court, agency or other authority before which such suit or proceeding is commenced), in addition to such other relief as may be awarded, shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation actually incurred from the non-prevailing party. The foregoing includes attorneys’ fees, expenses and costs of investigation (including those incurred in appellate proceedings), costs incurred in establishing the right to indemnification, or in any action or participation in, or in connection with, any case or proceeding under Chapter 7, 11 or 13 of the Bankruptcy Code (11 United States Code Sections 101 et seq.), or any successor statutes. This Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

          10.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.

          10.15 1031 Exchange. Notwithstanding any terms in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller (hereinafter referred to as the “Exchangor”) shall have the right to enter into an exchange transaction with respect to the Property (hereinafter referred to as the “Relinquished Property”) to cause the sale of the Relinquished Property to Buyer to qualify as a tax deferred exchange under the provisions of Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder. If for whatever reason either in this Agreement or in other agreements related to the relinquishment of the Relinquishment Property the word “Seller” appears, said word shall be substituted with the word “Exchangor.” Buyer agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Exchangor with respect to such tax deferred exchange, including the execution at the time of Closing of all documents required to be executed by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 1031 of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in connection with such exchange, provided that: (a) Buyer incurs no additional cost or expense in connection with such exchange; (b) Exchangor agrees to indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against any liability arising out of its cooperation in effecting such exchange as requested by Exchangor, provided, however, that such indemnification shall in no way affect the rights of Buyer under any other provision of this Agreement or in any other contract or agreement connected with the exchange of the Relinquished Property; and (c) Buyer shall have no liability with respect to the tax deferred exchange and shall not be required to purchase any property (the “Replacement Property”).

          Exchangor and Buyer acknowledge that all agreements and documents solely in connection with performing the exchange shall be prepared by Exchangor’s expense by Exchangor’s counsel.

          Exchangor is granted the authority to transfer its rights to this Agreement but not its obligations hereunder pursuant to an Assignment of Rights Under Contract to be signed by Exchangor and Exchangor’s Qualified Intermediary, and acknowledged by Buyer prior to Closing. At the request of Exchangor, Buyer will sign the written Assignment referred to in this paragraph with the clear understanding that all obligations under this Agreement remain with Exchangor and that Exchangor shall directly deed the legal title to the Property over to the Buyer as noted in the Assignment of Rights Under Contract and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

          10.16 Audit Cooperation. Prior to and after the Closing Date, Seller shall provide to Buyer (at Buyer’s expense) copies of, or shall provide Buyer access to, such factual information as may be reasonably requested by Buyer, and in the possession or control of Seller, or its property manager or accountants, to enable Buyer (or Hines or an affiliate of Hines) to allow Buyer’s auditor (Deloitte & Touche LLP or any successor auditor selected by Buyer) to conduct an audit of the income and expense statements of the Property up to the date of Closing, plus up to the three (3) prior calendar years. Buyer shall be responsible for all out-of-pocket costs associated with this audit. Seller shall cooperate (at no cost to Seller) with Buyer’s auditor in the conduct of such audit. In addition, Seller agrees to provide to Buyer’s auditor historical financial statements for the Property, including income and balance sheet data for the Property, for up to three (3) years prior to the year in which the Closing Date occurs. Without limiting the foregoing, (i) Buyer or its designated independent or other auditor may audit Seller’s operating statements of the Property, at Buyer’s expense, and Seller shall provide such documentation as Buyer or its auditor may reasonably request in order to complete such audit, and (ii) Seller shall furnish to Buyer such financial and other information as may be reasonably required by Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer to make any required filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other governmental authority; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing obligations of Seller shall be limited to providing such information or documentation as may be in the possession of, or reasonably obtainable by, Seller, its property manager or accountants, at no cost to Seller, and in the format that Seller (or its property manager or accountants) have maintained such information, and (ii) while Seller will make such documentation and information available, any information discovered by Buyer or its agents which is believed to be inaccurate or inconsistent with information provided to Buyer during the Due Diligence Period in any event will not afford Buyer a basis for any legal action against Seller.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.

     THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE OF OFFICE BUILDING (this “Amendment”) is entered into as of October 5, 2005, by and between JB MANAGEMENT L.P., a California limited partnership (“Seller”), and HINES REIT PROPERTIES, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Buyer”), as follows:

RECITALS

     A. Seller and Buyer entered into that certain Purchase Agreement for Purchase of Office Building dated effective as of August 12, 2005 (the “Agreement”), relating to the sale and purchase of certain property having a commonly known street address of 1515 R and 1515 S Street, Sacramento, California ###-###-####, and being more fully described in the Agreement.

     B. Buyer and Seller desire to amend the Agreement as hereinafter set forth.

AGREEMENT

     Now, therefore, for and in consideration of Ten Dollars and other good and valuable consideration, in hand by each party hereto paid to the other, and for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.

Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings as defined in the Agreement unless otherwise defined herein.

2.

Certain Construction Obligations Under Leases, and Indemnities Related Thereto.

          (a) Seller will construct, and be responsible for all costs related to, the tenant improvement work and the work related to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and Title 24 of the California Administrative Code required by the State as specified in the State Leases (as defined below), as amended (the “Work”). Seller shall complete the Work in a good and workman-like manner in accordance with all applicable building codes, terms and provisions of the State Leases and approval of the State, as tenant. As used herein, the term “State Leases” shall include (i) that certain Lease dated October 15, 2004 between Seller, as lessor, and the State of California (the “State”), as lessee, pertaining to certain space on the First (1st), Second (2nd), Third (3rd), Fourth (4th) and Fifth (5th) floors of the building (the “Building”) located upon the Land for the use of the Department of Corrections; and (ii) that certain Lease dated October 15, 2004 between Seller, as lessor, and the State, as lessee, pertaining to certain space on the First (1st) and Fourth (4th) floors of the Building for the use of the Department of Personnel Administration.

          (b) At Closing, in addition to Seller’s other closing deliveries required by Section 5.2.1 of the Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to deliver a warranty bill of sale in the form of Exhibit “V” attached hereto and incorporated by reference, conveying to Buyer the Carpet Materials. As used herein, “Carpet Materials” shall mean, all carpeting, carpet padding (if any), carpet adhesives and base board required to complete the Work required under the State Leases and to provide the excess materials required to be delivered to the State pursuant to the provisions of the State Leases.

          (c) Seller agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Buyer, and its agents, employees and property managers from and against any claim, loss, expense, liability or direct damage (but NOT indirect or consequential damage) arising from or in connection with the construction of the Work, including, but not limited to: (i) any personal injury (including death) or property damage arising therefrom, and (ii) any material failure of Seller to perform the Work. Seller’s obligations under this indemnity shall be reduced by the comparative negligence or breaches of contract of Buyer and or its agents, employees and property managers.

          (d) Seller shall maintain or cause to be maintained a policy or policies of commercial general liability insurance with the premiums thereon fully paid in advance, issued by and binding upon an insurance company of good financial standing, such insurance to afford minimum protection of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) for bodily injury, or death in any one occurrence and of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for property damage in any one occurrence. Seller represents and warrants that it has and will maintain an umbrella insurance policy in the amount of Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00). The coverages required to be carried shall be extended to include, but not to be limited to, blanket contractual liability, personal injury liability (libel, slander, false arrest and wrongful eviction), and broad form property damage liability (including, without limitation, fire legal liability and such other risks as Buyer may specify by written notice to Seller). Seller shall deliver commercially reasonable evidence of such insurance to Buyer at Closing. Additionally, Seller shall cause each of its subcontractors (if any): (i) to maintain at all times during the course of construction of the Work commercial general liability insurance in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) on a combined single limit basis, which insurance shall name Buyer as an additional insured; (ii) to maintain all policies of worker’s compensation insurance required by law; and, (iii) to deliver to Buyer a certificate of insurance evidencing all such coverage and stating that such coverage and all parts thereof will not be terminated prior to the expiration of thirty (30) days from the delivery to Buyer of notice of such termination.

          (e) If the State fails to acknowledge in its Tenant Estoppel Certificate required by Section 4.4 of the Agreement that due to the timing of the delivery of Exhibit “A” to the State Leases, the deadline/termination date for the completion of the Work has been extended through February _, 2006, such failure shall constitute the failure of a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close under Section 5.5 of the Agreement.

     3. Closing Credit. At Closing, Buyer shall receive a credit (which shall be in addition to all other credits, prorations and other adjustments to which Buyer is entitled under the Agreement) in the amount of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($750,000.00), which amount represents certain outstanding capital expenditure

work and certain tenant improvements work required for the Property. Except as specifically set forth in the Agreement or in this Amendment, after the Closing Date, all costs for capital expenditures and tenant improvements work, other than the Work, will be the sole responsibility of the Buyer.

     4. Due Diligence Period; Closing Date. On October 6, 2005, Buyer will deposit the Additional Escrow Deposit required by Section 3.1 of the Agreement. Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that effective as of October 6, 2005 the Due Diligence Period will expire, and that Buyer shall no longer have any rights to terminate the Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.4 thereof. Pursuant to Section 5 of the Agreement, the Closing Date shall be November 2, 2005.

     5. Warehouse Space Lease. If the State does not acknowledge in its Tenant Estoppel Certificate required by Section 4.4 of the Agreement that all of Seller’s obligations under Section 36 of the Department of Corrections Lease have been fully satisfied and discharged, then, at Closing Seller shall enter into a master lease with Buyer covering the warehouse space, for use and occupation by the State, Department of Corrections (only, without the right to assign, sublease or “back-fill”), during the lease term and extensions agreed to therein, or as currently amended. Seller’s execution and delivery of the master lease shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close under Section 5.5 of the Agreement.

     6. Ratification; No Other Amendments. Except as expressly amended or otherwise modified by this Amendment, all terms, covenants, conditions and provisions set forth in the Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, shall remain in full force and effect, and Seller and Buyer hereby ratify, confirm and adopt the Agreement as so amended.

     7. Counterpart and Facsimile Execution. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts and shall be binding as long as each party executes one, although not necessarily the same, counterpart. This Amendment may be executed by facsimile signature, and a facsimile signature shall be deemed an original signature for all purposes.
