ARTICLE 4

DEPOSITS AND CONDITIONS

4.1 Deposits & Termination: On or before 5:00 P.M. Pacific Time on the first day following the Effective Date that national banks are open for business in Santa Clara, County, California, (“Deposit Date”), Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder the cash sum of Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Deposit”). Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Deposit shall be non-refundable (except as herein expressly provided to the contrary) and shall be held by Escrow Holder in an interest bearing account, with interest accruing to the benefit of Buyer prior to Escrow Closing and to the benefit of Seller after Escrow Closing. The Deposit (plus all interest earned thereon) shall be paid to Seller at the Escrow Closing and applied as a payment on account of the Purchase Price. Time is of the essence and, if the Deposit is not delivered to Escrow Holder by the Deposit Date, the Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have terminated this Agreement, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, and Seller shall be free to sell the Property to any other person on such terms and conditions as Seller shall elect.

4.2 Conditions to Close:

A. Conditions to Buyer’s Obligations. Buyer’s obligation to close escrow in accordance with this Agreement shall also be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions (the “Other Conditions”):

B. Buyer’s Rights Upon Failure of Condition. If any of the Other Conditions to the Buyer’s obligation to close escrow is not satisfied on the Required Closing Date (and for so long as the condition remains not satisfied) or if Seller otherwise defaults upon its obligations under this Agreement, Buyer may elect to any or all of the following:

-5-

Buyer waives all other rights and remedies against Seller in connection with this Agreement.

4.3 Liquidated Damages: Buyer recognizes that the Property will be removed from the market during the existence of this Agreement. Buyer acknowledges that in the event Buyer fails to perform its obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with this Agreement following satisfaction of the conditions to Buyer’s obligations to purchase the Property set forth in this article, Seller should be entitled to compensation for the detriment resulting from the removal of the Property from the market, and that the calculation of such damage would be extremely difficult and impracticable. Therefore, the parties agree to liquidate damages as follows:

IN THE EVENT BUYER FAILS TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT UPON SATISFACTION OF THE CONDITIONS TO BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY, THEN, AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH FAILURE BY BUYER, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL ACCRUED INTEREST THEREON, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. BOTH PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SAID AMOUNT IS PRESENTLY A REASONABLE SUM CONSIDERING ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE, INCLUDING THE RELATIONSHIP OF THE SUM TO THE RANGE OF HARM TO SELLER THAT REASONABLY COULD BE ANTICIPATED FROM SUCH BUYER DEFAULT, AND THE ANTICIPATION THAT PROOF OF ACTUAL DAMAGES WOULD BE COSTLY OR INCONVENIENT.

By executing this provision as indicated below, each party specifically confirms the accuracy of the statements made above and the fact that each party was represented by counsel who explained the consequences of this liquidated damages provision at the time this agreement was made.

The Escrow Closing shall be deemed to have occurred when the Grant Deed has been delivered and the Title Policy has been issued, the Grant Deed has been delivered to the Escrow Holder for recording, and the Purchase Price, as so adjusted on account of Seller’s share of prorations and closing costs, has been disbursed to Seller (even if the Grant Deed has not yet been recorded in the Official Records).

5.5 Closing Charges: The premium cost of the Title Policy shall be paid as follows: That portion of the premium cost equivalent to the premium for a 2006 CLTA Policy with survey exception and without any endorsements shall be paid by Seller and the remainder of the premium cost for a Title Policy obtained by Buyer shall be paid by Buyer. County property conveyance taxes shall be paid by Seller, and City property conveyance and documentary transfer taxes shall be split equally between Buyer and Seller.
