caused an appraisal to be prepared in accordance with Government Code Section 7267.1(b).
This Agreement is entered into in accordance with Government Code Section 7267.1(a) lieu of
condemnation proceedings under Code of Civil Procedure Section 1245.210, et seq.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PROPERTY. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement,
and for the consideration herein set forth, Seller hereby agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer hereby
agrees to purchase from Seller the Real Property and Seller hereby agrees to sell and Buyer
hereby agrees to buy the following:

465022.01 a01/09/04 -1-
trees/shrubs, water softeners, water purifiers, and security systems/alarms (collectively, the
"Fixtures and Personal Property").
The Real Property, the Improvements, and the Personal Property are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Property."
2. PURCHASE PRICE AND RELOCATION ASSISTANCE.
2.1 Amount. The purchase price which Seller agrees to accept and Buyer agrees to
pay for the Property is the lump sum of TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS ($245,000.00) ("Purchase Price"). The parties agree that this amount includes
relocation benefits, and that the Purchase Price reflects the full payment that Seller will receive
from Buyer for the Property, and is inclusive of any claims for loss of goodwill, lost profits, lost
business income. Seller waives all any right it may have to seek additional compensation for
such claims.
2.2 Payment of Purchase Price. On or before 5:00 p.m. on the business day preceding
the "Closing Date" (as that term is defined in Section 6.1) or such earlier time as required by
"Escrow Holder" in order to close "Escrow" (as those terms are defined in Section 4.1) on the
Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder the Purchase Price.
3. RELOCATION ASSISTANCE. Seller acknowledges that he/she does not reside at the
Property and is not entitled to relocation assistance pursuant to State Relocation Assistance Law
(California Government Code Sections 7260 et seq.; Relocation Assistance and Real Property
Acquisition Guidelines, California Administrative Cove Title 25), or local relocation guidelines.
4. ESCROW.
4.1 Opening of Escrow. Closing of the sale of the Property shall take place through
an escrow ("Escrow") to be established within three (3) business days after the execution of this
Agreement by the parties hereto, with Chicago Title ("Escrow Holder") at its office located at
72980 Fred Waring Drive, Suite B, Palm Desert, California, 92260. The opening of the Escrow
(the "Opening of Escrow") shall be deemed to be the date that a fully executed copy of this
Agreement is delivered to the Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder is instructed to notify Buyer and
Seller in writing of the date of the Opening of Escrow.
4.2 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement, once deposited in Escrow, shall constitute
the joint escrow instructions of Buyer and Seller to Escrow Holder. Additionally, if Escrow
Holder so requires, Buyer and Seller agree to execute the form of escrow instructions that
Escrow Holder customarily requires in real property escrows administered by it. In the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between Escrow Holder's standard instructions and the provisions
of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and be controlling. The
parties additionally agree to the Escrow Holder's standard terms, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit E and to the additional supplemental instructions contained in Exhibit F.
5. TITLE MATTERS. Buyer shall obtain a preliminary title report prepared by Chicago
Title ("Title Company") describing the state of title of the Property together with copies of all
underlying documents (collectively, the "Preliminary Title Report"). Buyer may, at its sole cost
119/015610-0008
465022.01 a01/09/04 -2-
and expense, obtain a current survey of the Property (the "Survey"). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to remove all monetary encumbrances against the
Property excluding non -delinquent real property taxes (except as otherwise provided for in
Section 9 below). Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer may have to title
exceptions contained in the Preliminary Title Report or matters shown on the Survey (if Buyer
has obtained) no later than the date which is fifteen (15) days after the later of (i) its receipt of
the Preliminary Title Report or (ii) its receipt of the Survey ("Buyer's Objection Notice").
Buyer's approval or disapproval of the matters set forth in the Preliminary Title Report (and the
Survey, if applicable) may be granted or withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion.
Buyer's failure to provide Seller with a Buyer's Objection Notice within said period shall
constitute Buyer's approval of all exceptions to title shown on the Preliminary Title Report and
all matters shown on the Survey (if Buyer has obtained). Seller shall have a period of five (5)
days after receipt of Buyer's Objection Notice in which to deliver written notice to Buyer
("Seller's Notice") of Seller's election to either (i) agree to remove the objectionable items on
the Preliminary Title Report or Survey prior to the Close of Escrow, or (ii) decline to remove any
such title exceptions or Survey matters and terminate Escrow and the obligations of Buyer and
Seller to purchase and sell the Property under this Agreement. Seller's failure to provide Buyer
with Seller's Notice within said period shall constitute Seller's election to remove the
objectionable items on the Preliminary Title Report. If Seller notifies Buyer of its election to
terminate rather than remove the objectionable items on the Preliminary Title Report or Survey,
Buyer shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer's
receipt of Seller's Notice, to agree to accept the Property subject to the objectionable items, in
which event Seller's election to terminate shall be of no effect, and Buyer shall take title at the
Close of Escrow subject to such objectionable items without any adjustment to or credit against
the Purchase Price. All exceptions to title shown on the Preliminary Title Report, other than
those which Seller may agree to remove pursuant to this Section 4.2, shall be deemed to have
been approved by Buyer unless Seller is notified otherwise in writing.
Upon the issuance of any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title
Report which adds additional exceptions, including any survey exceptions, the foregoing right of
review and approval shall also apply to said amendment or supplement. The process set forth
above for Buyer's review and Seller's response shall apply to any review and response with
respect to any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report, and the Closing shall
be extended for such period as is necessary to allow for that review and response process to be
completed.

Agreement precedent to the "Close of Escrow" (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 10

April 30, 2004 ("Outside Closing Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer and Seller
agree to advance the Closing, and so long as all of "Buyer's Conditions to Closing" and all of
