R E C I T A L S A. BPP Van Ness owned a certain parcel of real property, consisting of a building (the "Building"), all improvements and appurtenance thereto and the underlying land, commonly known as 1000 Van Ness and located in the City and County of San Francisco, California. The Building has been renovated and improved by BPP Van Ness as a mixed use complex, consisting of a historic portion (the "Historic Building Portion") and a new portion (the "New Building Portion") adjacent and abutting to the Historic Building Portion. The New Building Portion included two parcels (a "New Commercial Parcel" and a "Parking Garage Parcel"). The New Commercial Parcel has been improved by BPP Van Ness and American Multi-Cinema, Inc. ("AMC") as a 14-screen movie theatre and related amenities. The Parking Garage Parcel has been improved by BPP Van Ness as a seven-floor automobile parking garage and sold to an unrelated third party. The Historic Building Portion included residential condominium units (the "Residential Parcel").

B. BPP Van Ness sold to Historic Van Ness LLC, a California limited liability company ("Historic Van Ness"), substantially all improvements made to the Historic Parcel Retail Space all of which constituted "qualified rehabilitation expenditures" (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) incurred by BPP Van Ness in the rehabilitation of the portion of the Building comprising the Historic Parcel Retail Space (the "QRE Improvements"). C. Simultaneously with the sale of the QRE Improvements, BPP Van Ness, as landlord, and Historic Van Ness, as tenant, entered into a master lease of the Historic Parcel Retail Space, excluding the QRE Improvements (the "Master Lease") and Historic Van Ness, as sublandlord, and BPP/Van Ness Operating Company, L.P. ("BPP/Van Ness Operating Co."), as subtenant, entered into a master sublease of the Historic Parcel Retail Space, including the QRE Improvements (the "Master Sublease") . D. The Historic Parcel (without the QRE Improvements) and the New Commercial Parcel are collectively referred to as the "Van Ness Property" and legally described in EXHIBIT A-1 and the QRE Improvements are legally described in EXHIBIT A-2. E. BPOP owns a certain parcel of real property, consisting of a building, all improvements and appurtenance thereto and the underlying land, collectively referred to as the "Hilltop Property" and legally described in EXHIBIT A-3. F. BPOP owns a 0.1% membership interest in Historic Van Ness (the "Historic Van Ness Interest") and a 99% general partnership interest in BPP/Van Ness Operating Co. (the "BPOP BPP/Van Ness Operating Co. Interest"), and BPP owns a 1% limited partnership interest in BPP/Van Ness Operating Co. (the "BPP BPP/Van Ness Operating Co. Interest" and, together with the Historic Van Ness Interest and BPOP BPP/Van Ness Operating Co. Interest, the "Interests"). G. BPP Van Ness desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from BPP Van Ness, all of BPP Van Ness' right, title and interest in the Van Ness Property; BPOP desires to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to acquire from BPOP, all of BPOP's right, title and interest in the Hilltop Property, the Historic Van Ness Interest and the BPOP BPP/Van Ness Operating Co.

All charges for fuel, water, sewer, electricity and other utility services furnished to the Properties which are not metered to Tenants occupying the Improvements. Sellers, to the extent the same is obtainable, shall arrange for the utility companies to perform and furnish meter readings for such utilities through the close of business on the day prior to the Closing Date. If any such meter readings are not so obtainable, then Sellers shall provide meter readings as of a date not more than 30 days prior to the Closing Date, and the proration of utility charges shall initially be based upon such prior reading. Upon the taking of actual meter readings first after Closing, such proration shall be readjusted, outside of escrow and after Closing, and Sellers or Buyer, as the case may be, shall promptly pay to the other the amount determined to be so due upon such readjustment. 23 6.6.3 SERVICE CONTRACTS.

All base rents and other fixed sums paid under the Tenant Leases for the Assets shall be prorated between Buyer and Sellers.

Sellers shall transfer their entire interests in any letters of credit or certificates of deposit held by them under such Tenant Leases as deposits and shall diligently cooperate with Buyer in obtaining any reissuance or confirmation of the effect of the transfer of such instruments. Buyer shall not be entitled to any credit or reimbursement for rent concessions granted by Sellers to any Tenants. All prepaid base rents and other fixed charges under the applicable Tenant Leases attributable to the period after Closing shall be credited to Buyer. Delinquent rents and other charges due Sellers under the Tenant Leases as of the date of Closing shall not be prorated. Buyer shall be credited in escrow with any leasing commissions, tenant improvement allowances or other allowances to be paid by Buyer on or after the Closing Date with respect to the current term of any Tenant Lease or Tenant Lease modification executed, or any extension term or expansion of premises exercised, in each case, on or before October 1, 2001. Seller shall be credited in escrow with any leasing commissions, attorneys fees for drafting of leases, tenant improvement allowances, or other allowances actually paid by Seller before the Closing Date with respect to of any Tenant Lease or Tenant Lease modification executed, or any extension term or expansion of premises exercised, in each case, after October 1, 2001. Any percentage rent, real estate taxes, parking charges, operating and maintenance expenses, escalation rents or charges, electricity charges, cost of living increases or any other charges of a similar nature other than fixed or base rent under the applicable Tenant Leases (collectively, the "ADDITIONAL RENTS") collected by Sellers prior to the Closing Date shall be prorated as of the Closing Date between Buyer and Sellers. As soon as practicable following the Closing, Sellers shall provide Buyer with information regarding Additional Rents which were received by Sellers prior to Closing and the amount of reimbursable expenses paid by Sellers prior to Closing. On or before June 30, 2002, Buyer shall deliver to Sellers a reconciliation of all expenses reimbursable under the Tenant Leases, and the amount of Additional Rents received by Sellers and Buyer relating thereto (the "RECONCILIATION"). Upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, each party shall make available to the other all information reasonably required to confirm the Reconciliation. In the event of any overpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Sellers, Sellers shall promptly, but in no event later than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Reconciliation, pay to Buyer the amount of such overpayment and Buyer, as the landlord under the particular Tenant Leases, shall pay or credit to each applicable tenant the amount of such overpayment. In the event of an underpayment of Additional Rents by the tenants to Sellers, Buyer shall pay to Sellers the amount of such underpayment within twenty (20) days following Buyer's receipt of any such amounts from the tenants. Any rents or other sums that are due and payable under any Tenant Leases on or prior to the Closing Date, but which have not been collected by Sellers on or prior to the Closing Date, or payment of which has been deferred until after the Closing Date (the "ARREARS"), to the 24 extent applicable to any period of time on or prior to the Closing Date, and which are paid after the Closing Date shall, subject to the terms below, be paid to Sellers and if the Arrears are received by Buyer, Buyer shall pay the Arrears to Sellers after collection by Buyer. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts (but shall not be required to commence legal action or terminate or evict a tenant) to collect or cause to be collected such Arrears following the Closing Date. Any and all rents so collected by Buyer following the Closing (less a deduction for all reasonable collection costs and expenses incurred by Buyer) shall be successively applied (after deduction for Buyer's reasonable collection costs and expenses) to the payment of (x) delinquent amounts due Buyer and (y) delinquent amounts due Sellers. If all or part of any rents or other charges received by Buyer following the Closing are allocable to Sellers pursuant to the foregoing sentence, then such sums shall be promptly paid to Sellers.

All utility deposits paid by Sellers shall be refunded to Sellers at or as of the Closing. The parties acknowledge that the Van Ness Owners Association (the "Association") is obligated to repay to BPOP certain advances made by BPOP in amount aggregating approximately $900,000 (the "BPOP Advances"). The parties further acknowledge that following Closing Buyers will own an approximately 50% interest in the Association (the "Buyer's Interest"). Following Closing, Buyers shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Association (and the Association's members) to promptly repay to BPOP the full amount of the BPOP Advances, and such reasonable efforts shall include causing the Association to exercise its rights pursuant to its organizational documents to collect past due assessments from its members. In connection with any such payment of the BPOP Advances by the Association, Buyers shall have the right to retain a percentage of each such payment equal to the Buyer's Interest. 6.6.6 PREPAID EXPENSES. Buyer shall be charged for those prepaid expenses paid by Sellers allocable to any period from and after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, annual permit and confirmation fees, fees for licenses and all security or other deposits paid by Sellers to third parties which Buyer elects to assume and to which Buyer then shall be entitled to the benefits and refund following the Closing Date.

In the event, for any reason beyond the reasonable control of the parties hereto, information necessary to calculate any proration, adjustment or credit for any item required to be prorated, adjusted or credited under this Paragraph is not available prior to Closing, then such 25 item shall be prorated, adjusted or credited outside of escrow after Closing as soon as such information is available, and Sellers and Buyer shall duly cooperate with each other in regard thereto and shall pay, one to the other, any amounts which may be owing as a result of any such subsequent proration, adjustment or credit. In the event, at any time after Closing, errors shall be discovered in any prorations, adjustments or credits made pursuant to this Paragraph, Sellers and Buyer shall correct such errors and shall pay, one to the other, any sums owing as a result of such corrections. 6.7 CLOSING COSTS/TRANSFER EXPENSES.

Escrow fees of Escrow Agent and recording fees (except stamp taxes, if any, which shall be paid by Sellers) shall be divided equally between Buyer and Sellers.
