ARTICLE 2 — PURCHASE

2.1 Purchase Price; Escrow Opening.

Seller agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, the Property for the sum of the Purchase Price, which shall be paid as set forth below in this Section 2.1.

(a) Initial Deposit. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder the sum of the Deposit, which Escrow Holder shall invest in a federally-insured, interest bearing account. All interest which accrues on the Deposit shall be credited to the principal balance of the Deposit. The Initial Deposit portion of the Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer, and shall be disbursed to Seller without further instruction from Buyer or Seller, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Seller’s uncured material default under the terms of this Agreement or the failure of any of the conditions set forth in Section 2.6(a)-(c) or Section 2.7(b).

(b) Additional Deposit. If Buyer elects in its sole discretion to provide the Approval Notice (defined in Section 2.3), the Additional Deposit, together with interest thereon, shall be non-refundable to Buyer, and shall be disbursed to Seller without further instruction from Buyer or Seller, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than (i) Seller’s uncured material default under the terms of this Agreement, (ii) pursuant to Section 6, (iii) due to any failures of the conditions set forth in Section 2.6(a)-(g) or Section 2.7(b), or (iv) Buyer’s failure for any reason to deliver the Approval Notice. All interest which accrues on the Additional Deposit shall be credited to the principal balance of the Additional Deposit. Upon Close of Escrow, the Deposit shall be applied toward the Purchase Price. If Buyer does not elect, in its sole discretion, to provide the Approval Notice by the Contingency Date, Escrow Holder shall, within one (1) business day after the Contingency Date, return to Buyer the Additional Deposit.

(c) Purchase Price Balance. Prior to the Closing, Buyer shall deliver the balance of the Purchase Price to Escrow Holder, plus or minus, as applicable, Buyer’s share of costs, expenses and prorations. Buyer shall have no obligation to pay the balance of the Purchase Price unless it elects, in its sole discretion, to provide the Approval Notice and all other conditions to the Closing have been satisfied.

(d) Escrow Opening. Buyer and Seller shall cause the opening of “Escrow” (the escrow opened with Escrow Holder for the consummation of the transaction described in this Agreement) by the delivery of a fully executed original of this Agreement to Escrow Holder no later than three (3) business days after the Effective Date hereof. Escrow shall close (“Closing” or “Close of Escrow”) on the Closing Date, or such earlier date as may be agreed upon by the parties in writing.

2.2 Buyer’s Due Diligence.

Buyer shall have the right to review and approve or disapprove, in its sole and absolute discretion, as hereafter provided, all aspects of the Property, including, without limitation (i) the Improvements, (ii) the physical and environmental condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the condition of the Improvements, the condition of the soil at the Property, the condition of the ground water at the Property, and the presence or absence of any Hazardous Materials at the Property, (iii) the financial condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the feasibility, convertibility, desirability and suitability of the Property for Buyer’s intended use and purposes, (iv) the legal condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the Property’s compliance or non-compliance with all statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations, decrees, orders and laws applicable to the Property, (v) the Assumed Contracts, (vi) the existence or non-existence of any governmental or quasi-governmental entitlements, if any, affecting the Property or any portion of the Property, (vii) any dimensions or specifications of the Property or any part thereof, (viii) the zoning, building and land use restrictions applicable to the Property or any portion thereof, and (ix) all other matters which Buyer deems relevant to its purchase of the Property, as follows:

(a) Physical and Governmental Inspections. Buyer and Buyer’s representatives, agents, consultants and designees shall have the right to:

(1) enter upon the Property, at Buyer’s sole cost, for any purpose in connection with its proposed purchase, development or operation of the Property, including, without limitation, to make such inspections, investigations and tests as Buyer may elect to make or obtain, including, without limitation, testing and inspection of structural, electrical, and mechanical systems, surveys, equipment tests, environmental tests (including groundwater, soils, soils gas, indoor air, asbestos and lead paint testing), and soils, seismic, hydrogeologic and engineering tests, analyses and studies (collectively, “Buyer’s Inspections”), provided that: (t) Buyer will not enter the Property prior to negotiation and execution of an Access Agreement (“Access Agreement”) by the parties (on terms mutually agreed upon between the parties); (u) all persons entering the Property on behalf of Buyer for such Buyer’s Inspections shall be appropriately licensed (if required by law) and qualified, possess the appropriate permits for any proposed drilling or testing, present in advance to Seller evidence of appropriate insurance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, and enter at reasonable times and without unreasonable interference with Seller’s use of the Property, and comply with Seller’s reasonable site procedures and requirements, including, without limitation, being accompanied by Seller personnel during such access if required by Seller; (v) Seller shall have the right to approve the Work Plan (defined below) for any physical testing or drilling or other similar invasive testing, which right will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Buyer shall submit a work plan (“Work Plan”) for any such proposed testing or drilling, and Buyer shall not commence any such testing or drilling until Buyer has received written approval of the Work Plan from Seller; provided, however, that Seller will either respond to a proposed Work Plan within three business days of receipt thereof, or if response is delayed beyond three business days, Seller will provide Buyer a commensurate extension of the Contingency Date; (w) Buyer shall deliver to Seller, without representation or warranty, within two business days after its receipt by Buyer, copies of all physical inspection analytical data (whether or not in the form of a report) and report of sampling and analytical methodologies, physical inspection reports, geotechnical or soils reports, surveys, engineering reports, environmental feasibility studies and other inspection reports prepared by or on behalf of Buyer in connection with Buyer’s Inspections (“Due Diligence Reports”), and provided further that (x) Buyer shall not be required to deliver to Seller any proprietary information regarding Buyer, any reports or analysis regarding the valuation or potential performance of the Property or any information protected by the attorney-client privilege; (y) Buyer shall reasonably restore the Property to substantially the same condition as it existed prior to such Buyer’s Inspections; and (z) Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Seller, and its Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors, assigns and agents from any losses, costs, claims, liabilities or damages as set forth in the Access Agreement; and

(2) subject to Section 2.2(e), and the subsequent sentences of this Section 2.2(a)(2), consult with employees and representatives of Seller and any third party, including, without limitation, (A) Stanford or (B) any governmental or quasi-governmental body or agency having jurisdiction over the Property and/or Seller with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, the State, the City and the County (the “Authority” or “Authorities”) for any purpose reasonably relating to the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller will have the sole responsibility and right of disclosure to Stanford or any Authority of any analytical data

gathered by Buyer during Buyer’s Inspections (and of any data or information collected by Seller during the decommissioning/closure of certain structures under Section 3.5) regarding Hazardous Materials. Accordingly, Seller will, within ten (10) days after Buyer’s submittal to Seller of such data and accompanying report, forward the data in such report to Stanford and the appropriate Authorities, with a transmittal document prepared by Seller in its sole discretion. Buyer will be copied on those and any other written communications with Stanford and the Authorities. Thereafter, Buyer will not contact either the Authority or Stanford to discuss the analytical data gathered or the decommissioning/closure of Hazardous Materials facilities or structures. However, if such communications occur (whether initiated by Seller, Stanford, or the Authority), Seller shall serve as the leader and sole spokesperson in all such communications and/or in-person or telephone discussions, provided that Buyer is given a reasonable opportunity to attend any meetings and phone discussions. In no circumstance will Buyer, or others acting in cooperation with Buyer, communicate separately with Stanford or Authorities about such environmental data, its implications, or any environmental response requested by Stanford or Authorities, nor shall they request, act or communicate in any way with Authorities or Stanford to suggest, solicit, inveigle, or entice them to make any request, or a broader or more stringent request, for environmental response for such Pre-Existing Contamination or the decommissioning/closure of Hazardous Materials facilities or structures. If Buyer wishes to have discussions with any environmental regulatory agency staff (including the city of Palo Alto regarding hazardous material closure issues) regarding the environmental condition on or under the Property other than related to data gathered during Buyer’s Inspections or Seller’s decommissioning/closure of Hazardous Materials as provided in Section 3.5(c), (and excluding routine regulatory file searches customary for Phase I environmental site assessments) or the regulatory requirements applicable to them, Buyer agrees to reasonably coordinate with Seller in advance to allow a joint approach to and joint discussion with the regulatory agency staff, providing Seller and its agents an opportunity to be present for all such discussions; provided, however, that Buyer may meet with such agencies without Seller if Seller is not available to meet with such agencies at the times proposed by Buyer so long as, not less than two (2) business days before the proposed meeting, Buyer proposed to Seller at least two (2) meeting times during normal business hours.

(b) Property Information Inspections Other Than Environmental. Within three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide and make available to Buyer, and shall continue to provide updates and make available to Buyer until the Closing, the following non-environmental documents and information concerning the Property that are in Seller’s possession or reasonably within Seller’s control to Seller’s actual knowledge: all reports, studies, engineering and geological studies, permits (and list any updates to the list of current permits scheduled in Schedule 1.10), licenses and approvals, building plans and specifications, maintenance records and warranties, cooperation and easement agreements, tax statements, title insurance information and surveys, if any, service contracts (including utility contracts), lease and sublease files, and Personal Property inventories (collectively, the “Property Information”); provided, however, that Seller is not obligated under this paragraph to provide any documents consisting of communications between Seller and Seller’s in-house or outside counsel or any confidential documents such as internal financial or personnel memorandum, internal financial reports, any appraisals or any offers or solicitations to purchase or lease.

(c) Environmental Document Inspection. Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall provide and make available to Buyer, and shall continue to provide updates and make available to Buyer until the Closing, the following documents and information concerning the environmental condition of the Property that are in the possession or reasonably within the control of Seller’s Designated Representative, to Seller’s actual knowledge without obligation of inquiry: all current environmental permits, licenses, consents, authorizations and regulatory approvals applicable to the Real Property (“Environmental Permits”) and historic Environmental Permits that could affect the value or environmental condition of the Property; letters, reports, or other environmental documents and correspondence with any Authority or Stanford about the use, decommissioning and/or closure of any underground and above-ground tanks, sumps, pits, ponds, clarifiers, xxxxx, treatment systems, floor drains, trenches, incinerators and spill containment systems at the Property if containing Hazardous Materials (defined in Section 5.1); environmental reports addressing ACM or LBM; the analytical results of any sampling of environmental media at the Property (i.e. soil, soil gas, groundwater, surface water, or ambient outdoor air) and accompanying reports to the extent providing additional related factual information; any documents regarding Releases of Hazardous Materials into soil, groundwater, or soil gas on or beneath the Property that could affect the condition or value of the Property or adjacent properties; any currently pending or threatened notices of violation, claims, inspection or deficiency or any other document received by Seller in which an Authority or third party alleges that Seller may be in violation of any Environmental Law (defined in Section 4.1(f)(5)), and historic notices of violation, claims, inspection or deficiency alleging potential violations of Environmental Law that could affect the condition or value of the Property or adjacent properties, or alleging that Seller has released any Hazardous Materials into or on the soil or groundwater at the Property; sets of building/facility drawings and plans that depict the stormwater systems and industrial/sanitary wastewater systems at the Property; and any letter, complaint, or other document in which a third party alleges that Seller has released any Hazardous Materials into or on the soil or groundwater at the Property; provided, however, that Seller is not obligated under this paragraph to provide any documents that are privileged as an attorney client communication or under the attorney work product doctrine or confidential proprietary business information (but no such assertion of privilege or confidentiality will be made over sampling data) or to provide documents whose disclosure is not permissible under law. Documents produced by Seller pursuant to this section, including building/facility drawings and plans referenced above, may be presented by Seller as they appear in the ordinary course of business at Seller’s business address at Seller’s building commonly referred to as S-1 on the Roche Palo Alto campus. “Release” shall have the same meaning as the definition of “release” in 42 USC Section 9601(22). The foregoing documentation shall be deemed part of Property Information.

(d) Title Inspection. Buyer shall obtain the following from the Title Company (collectively, the “Title Documents”): (A) a preliminary title report (“PTR”) issued by the Title Company with respect to the Real Property as may be supplemented from time to time; and (B) copies of all documents (“Underlying Documents”) referred to in such PTR. Any survey required by Buyer shall be undertaken at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Buyer hereby objects to all liens evidencing deeds of trust against Seller’s leasehold interest in the Real Property or Improvements, judgment liens and mechanic’s liens (except that which are created by, through or on account of Buyer), and liens evidencing delinquent general real property taxes and assessments (“Seller’s Liens”), and Seller hereby agrees to cause all such Seller’s Liens to be

eliminated as exceptions to title and from the Owner’s Policy prior to the Closing at Seller’s expense. Buyer may notify Seller in writing (the “Title Notice”) prior to the date that is forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date (the “Title Review Date”) which other exceptions to title as shown on the PTR, if any, will not be accepted by Buyer. If Buyer fails to notify Seller in writing of its disapproval of any exceptions to title by the Title Review Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the exceptions on the PTR, other than Seller’s Liens. If Buyer notifies Seller in writing that Buyer objects to any exceptions to title, Seller shall have three (3) business days after receipt of the Title Notice to notify Buyer (a) that Seller will remove such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing, provided that Seller may extend the Closing for such period as shall be required to effect such cure, but not beyond ten (10) days; or (b) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed. If Seller fails to timely give such notice to Buyer, Seller shall be deemed to have given notice to Buyer under clause (b). Seller shall have no obligation to remove any title exceptions to which Buyer objects; provided, however, that Seller shall remove, as of the Closing, all Seller’s Liens and all exceptions that Seller agreed to remove under clause (a) above. If Seller gives or is deemed to have given Buyer notice under clause (b) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have agreed to take title to the Property subject to such exceptions if Buyer provides the Approval Notice (defined below).

(e) Confidentiality. Buyer agrees to keep confidential all information which may be disclosed to or discovered by Buyer during Buyer’s investigations of the Property pursuant to this Section 2.2 (“Confidential Information”), including, without limitation, the Due Diligence Reports and the results of all inspections, analyses, studies and similar reports relating to the Property prepared by or for Buyer, in each case as made available to Buyer prior to the Closing, provided that the term “Confidential Information” shall not include such portions of materials, documents or other information which (i) is now public knowledge, or becomes public knowledge in the future, other than through acts or omissions of Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives in violation of this Section 2.2(e), (ii) was properly known to Buyer without any restriction on use or disclosure, (iii) is disclosed at any time to Buyer by a third party that had a lawful right to disclose it, or (iv) is developed by the Buyer independently of the Confidential Information received hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Seller, Buyer agrees: (x) to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose or reveal any Confidential Information to any person other than Buyer’s agents, employees and consultants, which for purposes of this Section 2.2 shall include Buyer’s current and prospective lenders, accountants and attorneys, but then only to the extent such parties need to review the Confidential Information for purposes of analyzing the proposed purchase of the Property (“Buyer’s Representatives”); and (y) not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with the investigation of the proposed purchase of the Property; provided, however, Buyer may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is required to be disclosed by Buyer under the laws, rules or regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or the New York Stock Exchange, including without limitation, the filing by Buyer regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (and this Agreement) on Form 8-K. Buyer further agrees to cause Buyer’s Representatives to agree to comply with the non-disclosure requirements set forth in subsections (x) and (y) above. In the event that Buyer is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process, to disclose any Confidential Information, Buyer agrees it shall provide Seller with prompt notice of such request(s) to enable Seller to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, in the

absence of a protective order or other remedy, Buyer or any of Buyer’s Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives may disclose such portion of the Confidential Information as is legally required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Confidential Information shall be subject to disclosure in litigation between Seller and Buyer, (ii) subject to Section 2.2(a)(2), the confidentiality covenant contained herein shall not limit Buyer from communicating with Stanford or with the City of Palo Alto or other government agencies regarding the Property, including with respect to the environmental condition of the Property; however, Confidential Information shall not be disclosed to such party absent the advance written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s reasonable discretion, and (iii) the confidentiality covenant contained herein shall have no further force or effect upon the acquisition by Buyer of the Property. Except with respect to a party’s SEC reporting and disclosure obligations, neither Buyer nor Seller, nor any of their respective brokers, shall issue any press release or public statement regarding this Agreement or the purchase and sale described herein without the prior consent of the other party.

2.3 Contingency Date.

By the Contingency Date, Buyer shall have the right to deliver to Seller, in its sole and absolute discretion, written approval of all inspections, investigations, tests and studies with respect to the matters set forth in Section 2.2 (the “Approval Notice”). In the event Buyer has not provided Seller, by the Contingency Date, with the Approval Notice, Buyer’s inspections, investigations, tests and studies set forth in Section 2.2 shall be deemed to be disapproved, and this Agreement shall terminate. Upon such termination, (a) each party shall promptly execute and deliver to Escrow Holder such documents as Escrow Holder may reasonably require to evidence such termination, (b) Escrow Holder shall return all documents to the respective parties who delivered such documents to Escrow, (c) Escrow Holder shall remit the Initial Deposit together with any accrued interest on such funds to Seller and the Additional Deposit together with any accrued interest on such funds to Buyer, (d) the cancellation charges required to be paid by and to Escrow Holder and the Title Company shall be borne by Seller, if any, (e) Buyer shall return to Seller all Property Information in Buyer’s possession relating to the Property, and any Due Diligence Reports (subject to Section 2.2(a)(1)(x)), (f) the respective obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Agreement shall terminate and (g) each party shall bear its own costs hereunder. For clarity, the termination of this Agreement for any reason shall not terminate the parties’ rights and obligations that expressly survive this Agreement, nor the parties’ rights and obligations with respect to the Access Agreement or any confidentiality agreement between the parties, which shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. If Buyer provides the Approval Notice by the Contingency Date, then Buyer shall be considered to have elected to proceed with the purchase of the Property in accordance with this Agreement.

2.4 Consents. Each party hereto will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other party hereto to obtain all consents required from third parties whose consent or approval is required pursuant to the Ground Lease, any Assumed Contracts or Intangible Property to be assigned to Buyer hereunder or otherwise required to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder; provided, however, the form of such consents shall not contain language which materially increases any obligations of Buyer or Seller, or materially decreases the rights of Buyer or Seller thereunder. Each party agrees that the form of Stanford’s

Consent (defined below) attached hereto as Schedule 2.4 is acceptable and that it will execute such form and deliver it to Escrow Holder prior to Closing. With respect to the Ground Lease, (a) Seller shall prior to the Contingency Date execute and deliver to Stanford a recordable memorandum of the second amendment to the Ground Lease and the amendment to the easement affecting the Property dated April 14, 2003 that Stanford has requested prior to the Effective Date and (b) Buyer and Seller shall send a letter to Stanford on a form approved by Buyer and Seller which is substantially similar to the letter previously submitted by the parties to Stanford for such purpose, except that the letter shall attach a copy of the Agreement. Buyer shall provide such financial assurances and parent guarantees as reasonably necessary to facilitate the assignment of Assumed Contracts to Buyer; provided, however, VMware, Inc. shall only be required to provide financial assurances, and not parent guarantees.

2.5 Estoppel Certificates. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain an estoppel certificate from third parties to the Assumed Contracts listed on Schedule 2.5 (the “Required Assumed Contracts”) and Stanford with respect to the Ground Lease, in form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer and Seller. The estoppel certificates shall include, without limitation, the following: (i) a complete description of the documents and/or contracts comprising the applicable lease or Assumed Contract, and any written modifications thereto (or if oral, the substance of such oral modifications), (ii) the date of commencement and termination of the applicable lease or Assumed Contract, and (iii) a representation that such party and, to the best of the such party’s knowledge, Seller, is not in default under the applicable lease or Assumed Contract, and has no knowledge of an occurrence of any event that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a default by such party or Seller under the applicable lease or Assumed Contract. If Seller is unable to obtain such estoppel certificates despite its commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Seller shall provide estoppel certificates as to the Required Assumed Contacts itself at Closing, only as to the matters stated in Section 2.5(i) through (iii), inclusive, as well as a Seller estoppel for the Ground Lease with respect to Section 2.5(i).

2.6 Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligations.

The obligations of Buyer to consummate the transactions provided for herein are subject to and contingent upon the satisfaction of the following conditions or the waiver of same by Buyer in writing:

(a) Stanford’s Consent. Buyer and Seller shall have received the written consent of Stanford, in a form approved by Stanford, to the transactions contemplated hereby (“Stanford’s Consent”) and Stanford shall not have exercised its right of first refusal under the Ground Lease.

At its option, Buyer may elect to obtain a Lender’s Policy of title insurance and/or additional endorsements to the Owner’s Policy, however, the Closing shall be conditioned only on the Title Company being prepared to issue the Owner’s Policy committed to be issued by the Title Company prior to the Contingency Date.

(e) Assumed Contract Consents.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) (the “Building Materials Holdback”) will be retained by the Escrow Agent at Closing in a separate account until three years after the Closing (the “Building Materials Payout Date”). Escrow Holder shall invest the Building Materials Holdback in a federally-insured, interest bearing account, and all interest which accrues on the Building Materials Holdback shall be credited to the principal balance of the Building Materials Holdback. The Escrow Agent shall, within ten (10) business days of a request by Buyer made at any time and from time to time prior to the Building Materials Payout Date but not more often than monthly, disburse funds out of the Building Materials Holdback to Buyer with the consent of Seller (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, however, if a consent or objection thereto by Seller is not delivered to Escrow Holder within five (5) business days after receipt of the same by Seller’s representatives identified below, Escrow Holder shall disburse the funds to Buyer without the consent of Seller) to pay Buyer’s reasonable costs, fees and expenses arising from any increased costs by reason of the removal, transportation, and disposal of ACM, transite pipe and LBM (as such terms are defined below) from the Property (collectively, the “Building Materials Work”) as set forth in a reasonably detailed invoice delivered by Buyer to the Escrow Agent, together with a certification from Buyer that the requested amounts were properly incurred for the Building Materials Work. All payments by the Escrow Agent to Buyer hereunder will be by wire transfer or intrabank transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Buyer. On the Building Materials Payout Date, the Escrow Holder will disburse to Seller the unclaimed balance of the remaining Building Materials Holdback. During the three-year Building Materials Holdback period, Seller will sign all manifests as the generator of any Hazardous Material that is disposed of in connection with the Building Materials Work, unless Buyer during that time obtains its own hazardous waste generator ID number for the Property

precluding Seller from thereafter using its generator ID number for the Building Materials Work, in which case Buyer will sign all manifests as the generator of any Hazardous Material that is disposed of in connection with the Building Materials Work. Buyer shall send to Seller (c/o Xxxxx Xxxxxxx with a copy to Genentech’s in-house environmental counsel (or other persons designated by Seller from time to time in writing)) copies of all disbursement requests made to Escrow Holder with respect to the Building Materials Holdback with substantiating documentation, and Seller shall promptly sign all documents reasonably required by Escrow Holder to make the required disbursements. Seller shall be responsible for all costs and fees of Escrow Holder in connection with the Escrow Holdback.

For the avoidance of doubt, “ Building Materials” shall not include lead in soil.

(d) Closure Holdback. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, a portion of the Purchase Price in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000.00) (the “Closure Holdback”) will be retained by the Escrow Agent at Closing in a separate account until the Final Closure Delivery. Escrow Holder shall invest the Closure Holdback in a federally-insured, interest bearing account, and all interest which accrues on the Closure Holdback shall be credited to the principal balance of the Closure Holdback. The Escrow Holder shall hold the Closure Holdback in Escrow in a separate account until the date on which the Seller delivers the final building on the Property to Buyer with all Closure Work on the Property complete (the “Final Closure Delivery”). Seller and Buyer shall jointly notify Escrow Holder that the Final Closure Delivery has occurred. Promptly after the Final Closure Delivery Date, the Escrow Holder shall disburse to Seller the entire Closure Holdback. In no case shall Buyer be entitled to any of Closure Holdback funds. Such payments by the Escrow Holder to Seller or Buyer hereunder will be by wire transfer or intrabank transfer of immediately available funds to the account of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, as directed by Seller or Buyer. Seller shall be responsible for all costs and fees of Escrow Holder in connection with the Closure Holdback.

3.4 Prorations and Adjustments.

Subject to the terms of this Section 3.4, income, if any, from the Property, and real property taxes and operating expenses, if any, affecting the Property shall be prorated as of midnight on the day preceding the Closing. For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs.

(a) Taxes and Assessments. Except to the extent the same are paid directly by tenants or licensees, all non-delinquent real estate taxes and current installments of assessments affecting the Property which are payable by Seller shall be prorated as of the Closing based on the actual current tax xxxx. All delinquent taxes and assessments, if any, affecting the Property which are payable by Seller shall be paid at the Closing from funds accruing to Seller. Any

refunds of real estate taxes and assessments attributable to the period prior to the Closing shall be paid to Seller upon receipt, whether such receipt occurs before or after the Closing. Buyer acknowledges that the Closing of the sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement may result in reassessment under Proposition 13 of the Property for property tax purposes based upon the “change in ownership” of the Property under this transaction, and Buyer waives and releases Seller from and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against all claims that Seller may be liable for as a result of any increase in property taxes resulting from the “change in ownership” of the Property under this transaction.

(b) Operating Expenses. Except to the extent the same are paid directly by tenants or licensees, all utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, common area maintenance, taxes (other than real estate taxes and income taxes) such as rental taxes, and other expenses affecting the Property (other than expenses under any contracts to be terminated as of the Closing) and any other costs incurred in the ordinary course of ownership of the Property (other than expenses under any contracts to be terminated as of the Closing) shall be prorated on an accrual basis. Alternatively, with respect to utilities, Buyer or Seller may cause any utility company to transfer xxxxxxxx to Buyer upon the Closing. Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Closing and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the day of the Closing and thereafter. To the extent possible, Seller and Buyer shall obtain xxxxxxxx and meter readings as of the Closing to aid in such prorations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no responsibility for any contracts that are not Assumed Contracts. Seller shall terminate as of the Closing any contracts that would be binding on Buyer following the Closing that are not Assumed Contracts.

(c) New Leases, Rent. From the Effective Date until the earlier to occur of the Closing or termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not enter into any new lease or other material agreement affecting the Property, or modify, extend or terminate any material agreement affecting the Property that Buyer intends to assume, or waive or release any material obligation of Stanford, without first obtaining Buyer’s written approval thereof, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action within five (5) business days after Seller notifies Buyer in writing of Seller’s desire to take such action and has provided Buyer with copies of the applicable documents, then Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such action. Rents, revenues and other income from the Property, shall be prorated through Escrow as of the Closing with Seller entitled to the prorated portion of such items attributable to the period prior to such date and time and Buyer entitled to the prorated portion of such items following such date and time. Any prepaid rent paid by a tenant or licensee of the Property shall be credited to Buyer. Seller and Buyer agree that all rent received by Seller or Buyer following Closing shall be applied first to current rent, if any, and then to delinquent rent.

(d) Security Deposits. Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be debited with an amount equal to all unapplied security deposits actually being held by Seller under the Site Services Lease, Building R6 Lease, the T-Mobile Site License and the PCS Site License (as such terms are defined in Schedule 1.9 and collectively referred to herein as the “Leases”).

(e) Utility Deposits. Seller shall be credited and Buyer shall be debited with an amount equal to all refundable deposits, retentions, and holdbacks then being held by any utility company where such account is transferred to Buyer at Closing, or any other third party under any Assumed Contract.

(f) Method of Proration. Buyer and Seller each agree to prepare a schedule of tentative prorations under this Section 3.4 and exchange such schedules not later than five (5) business days prior to the Closing. Such prorations, if and to the extent known and agreed upon as of the Closing, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller (if the prorations result in a net credit to the Seller) or by Seller to Buyer (if the prorations result in a net credit to the Buyer) by increasing or reducing the cash to be deposited by Buyer in Escrow on or before the Closing. Any such prorations not determined or not agreed upon as of the Closing, each party acting in good faith, shall be paid by Buyer to Seller, or by Seller to Buyer, as the case may be, in cash as soon as practicable following the Closing. A copy of the schedule of prorations as agreed upon by Buyer and Seller shall be delivered to Escrow Holder at least two (2) business day prior to the Closing. The amount of such prorations shall be subject to adjustment in cash after the Closing outside of escrow as and when complete and accurate information becomes available, if such information is not available at the Closing. Seller and Buyer shall cooperate and use their best efforts to make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after the Closing.

(g) Assessment Liens. If and to the extent there exist any improvement assessment liens, bond payments or other similar assessments which encumber the Property, the bond payments or assessment liens for the current payable period shall be prorated in accordance with Section 3.4. Seller shall have no obligation to pay off the remaining principal amount of any of such assessments or bonds, and the lien of such assessments shall continue to burden the Property after the Closing.

3.5 Physical Condition.

(a) Condition. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, including in Sections 3.5(b) and (c), Buyer agrees to accept the Property in “AS IS” condition as of the Closing with respect to the Buildings Vacated at Closing, and upon completion of the Closure Work with respect each building in the Remainder Property, provided, however, that (with the exception of the building leased under the Site Services Lease (the “Site Services Building”)), as a warranty to Buyer but not a Closing condition, all HVAC, lighting systems, electrical systems, automatic fire sprinklers, life safety and plumbing systems and elevators, roof membranes and windows located in Improvements on the Real Property (“Building Systems”) shall be in good working order and condition, except as provided on Schedule 3.5(a). If, during the first sixty (60) days following the Closing with respect to the Buildings Vacated at Closing, or during the first sixty (60) days following the completion of the Closure Work and delivery of each building with respect to the Remainder Property, (x) any of the Building Systems in place are not in good working order and condition, then upon the written notice of Buyer within such the sixty (60)- day period, Seller shall repair or replace such items at no cost to Buyer; provided, however, Seller’s repair and replacement obligation under this sentence shall not apply to (a) Building Systems that are subject to or reasonably affected by the Closure Work (as clarified by Schedule 3.5(a) and (b)), or (b) normal routine maintenance items that may occur during the sixty (60)- day period, including, without limitation, elevator monthly service, building and equipment preventative maintenance, burnt out light bulbs, and other routine maintenance items, it being understood that Buyer shall retain fully trained maintenance personnel to maintain and operate the Building Systems post-Closing.

Seller shall perform all Closure Work in accordance with this Section 3.5(b). “Closure Work” means (i) removing all Hazardous Materials from (a) equipment and fixtures (excluding building and construction materials containing ACM and LBM, and transite pipe) within the interior portions of the buildings, and (b) structures exterior to the buildings only if specifically listed on Schedule 3.5(b)(ii) and (ii) decontaminating/decommissioning them to the extent required by the applicable Authority to obtain closure for Hazardous Materials. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain written approval of Hazardous Materials closure from applicable Authorities as soon as reasonably practicable. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Section 3.5(b), Seller shall not be required to perform any such work with respect to the equipment or Improvements within the interior portions of the buildings where specifically identified in Schedule 3.5(b)(i). In performing such Closure Work, Seller will provide advance notice of such work to Stanford, and keep the Property free of mechanic’s liens, as required in Paragraph 9(a) of the Ground Lease.

(c) Closure Work and Building Delivery. Prior to Closing, Seller shall complete all Closure Work at the buildings identified in Schedule 3.5(c) as being delivered at Closing (and related structures identified in Schedule 3.5(b)) (the “Buildings Vacated at Closing”), but excluding the Remainder Property and Hazardous Materials stored, used or brought onto the Site Services Building by Buyer. With respect to the buildings on the Property other than the Buildings Vacated at Closing (and related structures identified in Schedule 3.5(b)) (“Remainder Property”), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete the Closure Work as soon as commercially practicable. Estimated dates for completion of the Closure Work are set forth on Schedule 3.5(c). During Seller’s performance of the Closure Work, Seller shall keep Buyer reasonably informed about Seller’s ongoing Closure Work, including without limitation, (i) copying Buyer on all material emails and other communications sent to and received from Stanford or Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property with respect to the Closure Work, (ii) notifying Buyer at least two (2) business days in advance of any scheduled meetings with Stanford or Authorities and permitting Buyer to attend such meetings, (iii) providing Buyer with two (2) business days advance notice of any planned testing or sampling activities and (iv) providing closure plans, amendments, sampling results, applications, and certificates to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or submittal of same. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Seller shall serve as the leader and sole spokesperson in all such communications and/or in-person or telephone discussions regarding Hazardous Materials decommissioning/closure. In no circumstance will Buyer, or others acting in cooperation with Buyer, communicate separately with the Authorities or Stanford about such Hazardous Materials decommissioning/closure performed or to be performed by Seller or its implications, nor shall they request, act or communicate in any way with the Authority or Stanford to suggest, solicit, inveigle, or entice them to make any request, or a broader or more stringent request, for the Hazardous Materials decommissioning/closure to be performed by Seller. Buyer shall also not interfere with Seller’s Closure Work. All post-Closing Closure Work shall be performed pursuant to the terms of the Post-Closing Agreement.

(d) Closure of Permits. To Seller’s actual knowledge, Schedule 3.5(d)(i) contains a list of all current Environmental Permits. Seller will also obtain closure and termination of all Environmental Permits (where necessary or appropriate) which Buyer does not intend to use (set forth in Schedule 3.5(d)(ii), as may be updated by Buyer and Seller) as soon as reasonably practicable.

3.6 Seller’s Disclosure and Representation Regarding Environmental Media and Asbestos-Containing Materials.

Pursuant to California Health & Safety Code Section 25359.7, Seller has provided prior to and with this Agreement written notice to Buyer of the presence of hazardous substances on or beneath the Property, as reflected in analytical sampling results provided during the due diligence period. Seller has also advised Buyer that certain of the buildings located on the Property have asbestos-containing materials (“ACM”) including, without limitation, as identified on a January 21, 1997 Asbestos Survey prepared for Roche Bioscience and provided to Buyer. Buyer understands that disturbance of ACMs must be undertaken with all legally-required and appropriate mitigation measures, safeguards, and notifications to regulatory agencies, contractors, employees and other agents.

3.7 Seller’s Disclosure Regarding Lead Paint.

Seller hereby discloses to Buyer that construction built before 1978 may contain lead-based materials (including lead-based paint) (“LBM”). Lead from materials, paint, paint chips and dust can pose health hazards if not managed properly. As of the Effective Date, Seller has not undertaken a survey of lead-based materials within the Improvements to understand the nature and extent of the conditions. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has informed Buyer of these conditions and that disturbance of such materials must be undertaken with all legally-required and appropriate mitigation measures, safeguards, and notifications to regulatory agencies, contractors, employees and other agents.

3.8 Operation of the Property Pending Closing. Following the Effective Date and pending the Closing, Seller shall operate the Property in accordance with the following:

Seller shall maintain all existing insurance policies in connection with the Property and shall keep in effect and renew without material modification all licenses and permits listed on Schedule 3.8(a) (as updated from time to time by Buyer and Seller in writing) and entitlements applicable to the Property. Seller shall cooperate reasonably with Buyer in obtaining any governmental building and construction related approvals (non-land use approvals) reasonably requested by Buyer without cost to Seller; provided, however, that such approvals may be terminable by Buyer, and shall be terminated by Buyer without cost to Seller, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason. Seller shall further cooperate with Buyer in obtaining confirmation from the City (including, permitting Buyer to draft an initial letter to the City, subject to Seller’s review) as to certain information regarding that certain Variance No. 86-V-6 (“Parking Variance”). Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, Seller makes no covenants, representations or warranties regarding (i) the terms or application of the Parking

Variance to the Real Property, (ii) whether or not the Parking Variance is in effect, or (iii) the compliance or non-compliance of the Real Property with the Parking Variance, and Buyer assumes all risk associated therewith at Closing.

Promptly following the Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of the Assumed Contracts and Property Information.

such Claims and Buyer’s total liability for all such Claims in the aggregate shall be limited to $1,000,000; (ii) any failure of Buyer-related Use Entities to comply with Environmental Laws on the Real Property (provided that Buyer’s mere ownership alone of the Ground Lease with Pre-Existing Contamination on or under the Real Property shall not be considered a Buyer violation of Environmental Laws for purposes of this indemnity in Section 5.2(ii)) or Buyer’s breach of any environmental provision of this Agreement, except to the extent such failure is caused by matters described in Section 5.1(i)-(iii); (iii) the acts of Buyer and/or Buyer-related Use Entities that exacerbate any Pre-Existing Contamination that was disclosed to Buyer in documents provided by Seller, or discovered by Buyer prior to the Closing Date in Buyer’s investigations of the Property; or (iv) Building Materials (whether such materials are present before or after Closing, and regardless of whether the Claims caused by the Building Materials arise under the Ground Lease, other Stanford contractual documents related to the Property, or any other provision of law), other than Claims for personal injury that are described in Section 5.1(iv) or with respect to Seller’s liability for signing manifests as described in Section 3.3(c). Buyer’s indemnity obligation to Seller under this Section 5.2 does not extend to Seller’s own lost profits, Seller’s business losses, or Seller’s consequential damages, providing that such limitations do not apply to Buyer’s indemnity obligation of Seller for third party claims that include the third party’s lost profits, business losses, or consequential damages. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.2, Seller is not relieved of, and Buyer does not release Seller from or indemnify Seller for, any Seller failure to comply with the covenants or other provisions of this Agreement regarding environmental matters or the Post-Closing Agreement.

5.3 Release by Buyer. Buyer, on behalf of itself and the Buyer Entities, forever waives, releases and discharges Seller Entities, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successors, assigns and agents, from (i) any Claims within the scope of Buyer’s indemnity of Seller Entities in Section 5.2 above; (ii) from any Claims caused by Pre-Existing Contamination that Seller proves did not arise from the operation, occupancy or use by Seller-related Use Entities, to the extent that they exceed Seller’s 50% share of liability or $1 million aggregate liability limit for such Claims as specified set forth in Section 5.1(i); (iii) from any first party costs or losses incurred by Buyer (including but not limited to lost profits, lost rents, diminution in property value, other business losses, increased construction costs arising from environmental issues, or the costs of environmental investigation and response measures of any kind) arising from Pre-Existing Contamination except where such cost or loss is required to be incurred (x) to satisfy the demands of an environmental regulatory agency, (y) to address the asserted claims of third parties (not including the claims of Stanford as landowner or lessor under the Ground Lease against Buyer Entities, for which Buyer expressly releases Seller), or (z) to address Seller’s failure to comply with any provision in this Agreement that relates to environmental matters; (iv) from any first party costs or losses (including but not limited to lost profits, lost rents, diminution in property value, other business losses, increased construction costs arising from environmental issues, or the costs of environmental investigation and response measures of any kind, including surrender obligations under the Ground Lease or otherwise related to the Property) arising from Building Materials or indoor air other than Claims that are described in Section 5.1(iv) or with respect to Seller’s liability for signing manifests as described in Section 3.3(c); (v) arise from any environmental losses, costs or Claims suffered, incurred and asserted by Stanford against Buyer Entities, or any environmental obligations imposed by Stanford against Buyer Entities under the Ground Lease or otherwise relating to the Real

Property, whether at surrender of the Ground Lease or earlier, and whether or not arising from conditions existing prior to or after Closing (provided that this does not release Seller from its obligations set forth in Section 5.4(a)); and (vi) arise from costs incurred by Buyer to satisfy the Claims of Stanford asserted against Seller Entities for Pre-Existing Contamination or for violations of Environmental Law or of the environmental provisions of the Ground Lease to the extent that Section 5.4 provides that such costs will be borne by Buyer. With regard to the release given by Buyer Entities in this paragraph, such entities expressly waive all right under Section 1542 of the Civil Code of the State of California, which provides as follows:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

   BUYER’S INITIALS            

Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.3, Seller is not relieved of, and Buyer does not release Seller from, any Seller failure to comply with the covenants or other provisions of this Agreement regarding environmental matters or the Post-Closing Agreement.

5.4 Sharing of Costs of Certain Claims Asserted by Stanford Against Seller Entities and Addressing Regulatory Claims.

(a) This paragraph (and Section 5.4(b) below) will apply to any Claim asserted by Stanford against Seller Entities, not Stanford Claims asserted only against Buyer or Buyer Entities, under the Ground Lease or otherwise relating to the Real Property, either at surrender of the Ground Lease or before, and arising from Pre-Existing Contamination or arising from any asserted violation of the Ground Lease due to environmental matters or conditions existing prior to Closing. If such Claim is asserted by Stanford against Seller Entities prior to Closing, the procedures of this paragraph apply only if Buyer gives its Approval Notice. If such a Claim for environmental response is asserted by Stanford against Seller Entities, and a regulatory agency has not also made a demand for environmental response for the same Pre-Existing Contamination, then Seller Entities will present such Stanford Claim to Buyer, and Buyer will perform the environmental response to the satisfaction of Stanford, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. If such a Claim for environmental response is asserted by Stanford against Seller Entities, and a regulatory agency has also made a demand for environmental response for the same Pre-Existing Contamination, then (i) Seller Entities will present the Claim to VMware, (ii) VMware will perform the environmental response to the satisfaction of both Stanford and the regulatory agency, (iii) Roche will reimburse VMware for the reasonable environmental consultant/engineering/contractor costs of such environmental response (not including VMware’s in-house time or attorney’s fees) of satisfying the demands of the regulatory agency, if any, and (iv) Roche will itself bear the increased costs of satisfying Stanford’s demands for more stringent environmental response (beyond those required by the regulatory agency).

(b) In all instances where a demand is made by a regulatory agency for environmental response for Pre-Existing Contamination, Buyer and Seller will reasonably cooperate to allow both to participate in all discussions and negotiations with the regulatory agency. For any such regulatory agency demand issued prior to the Final Delivery Date, Seller will have sole responsibility for negotiating the scope of the environmental response required by the agency. In no circumstance, either before the Final Delivery Date or after, will Buyer, or others acting in cooperation with Buyer, request, act or communicate in any way with the regulatory agency to suggest, solicit, inveigle, or entice it to issue any regulatory agency demand, or to issue a broader or more stringent regulatory agency demand, for environmental response for Pre-Existing Contamination; provided, however, that Buyer’s mere submittal of analytical data to a regulatory agency after the Final Delivery Date shall not be construed as failing to comply with the covenant in this sentence.

(c) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 5.4, Seller is not relieved of, and Buyer does not release Seller from, any Seller failure to comply with the covenants or other provisions of this Agreement regarding environmental matters or the Post-Closing Agreement.

5.5 Seller’s Right to Terminate. Seller may, at any time after receipt of analytical data it collects or that Buyer collects during Buyer’s Inspections that identifies material newly- discovered Pre-Existing Contamination or other material newly-discovered environmental conditions whose environmental risks or costs are such that Seller determines, in its sole discretion, that this transaction should not proceed, Seller will provide notice to Buyer (at any time prior to Closing) of termination of this Agreement, which termination shall be effective ten (10) business days after delivery of such notice to Buyer. Upon the effective date of such termination, Escrow Holder shall remit the Deposit, together with any accrued interest on such funds, to Buyer, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement. In the event Seller terminates the Agreement under this Section 5.5, Seller may not lease or sell all or any portion of the Property or enter into any transaction for the sale or lease of all or any portion of the Property to any party other than Buyer until twelve months after such termination.

ARTICLE 6 — CONDEMNATION, DAMAGE AND

DESTRUCTION

6.1 Condemnation.

If, prior to the Closing, any material portion of the Real Property or Improvements is taken, by eminent domain or otherwise (or is the subject of a pending, threatened or contemplated taking which has not been consummated), Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing of such fact. In such event, Buyer shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller given not later than ten (10) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice, in which case, the procedures for termination pursuant to Section 2.3(a)-(g) shall apply. If Buyer does not exercise this option to terminate this Agreement, the parties shall proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof, without modification of the terms of this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase Price, however, upon the Closing, Seller shall assign and turn over, and the Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep, all awards for the taking by eminent domain which accrue to Seller.

6.2 Damage or Destruction.

If, prior to the Closing, any part of the Property is damaged or destroyed by earthquake, flood, landslide, fire or other casualty (including removal of any of the Property by theft, but excluding damage or destruction arising from Buyer’s Inspections or other activities), Seller shall immediately notify Buyer, in writing, of such fact. If such damage, destruction or casualty is “material”, Buyer shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller given not later than ten (10) business days after receipt of Seller’s notice, in which case, the procedures for termination pursuant to Section 2.3(a)-(g) shall apply. For purposes hereof, “material” shall be deemed to be any damage or destruction to the Property where the cost of repair or replacement is estimated to be one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price or more, and where Seller is unwilling to repair or replace the damage or destruction at Seller’s cost (if feasible, prior to Closing). If Buyer does not exercise this option to terminate this Agreement, or if the casualty is not material, the parties shall proceed to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement pursuant to the terms hereof without modification of the terms of this Agreement and without any reduction in the Purchase Price, however, upon the Closing, at Buyer’s election, (a) Seller shall assign and turn over, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive and keep, all insurance proceeds received by Seller with respect to such damage or destruction or (b) Buyer may credit against the Purchase Price the cost to restore any casualty damage to the Property, as reasonably determined by an unaffiliated consultant reasonably acceptable to Buyer and Seller.

ARTICLE 7 — RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

7.1 Buyer Default; Liquidated Damages.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY TO BUYER IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO BUYER’S UNCURED MATERIAL DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RETAIN AND SHALL RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS SELLER’S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THE AMOUNT OF THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES UNDER THIS SECTION SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF THE INITIAL DEPOSIT UNLESS AND UNTIL BUYER HAS PROVIDED THE APPROVAL NOTICE.

THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICABLE AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A

FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676, AND 1677. THE PARTIES HAVE SET FORTH THEIR INITIALS BELOW TO INDICATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE REMEDY OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE SHALL BE AVAILABLE TO BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

7.4 Right to Cure.

In the event of a breach of this Agreement by Buyer or Seller, the non-breaching party shall provide the breaching party with written notice of such breach. The breaching party shall then have a commercially reasonable time from receipt of such notice to cure said breach, not to exceed ten (10) days, in which case such party shall not be in default of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the nature of the breach is such that more than ten (10) days are reasonably required for its cure, then the breaching party shall not be deemed to be in default if such party shall commence such cure within said ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, not to exceed thirty (30) days from the receipt of the notice to cure. The provisions of this Section 7.4 shall not apply to (i) defaults in the payment of monetary obligations (including, without limitation, the Deposit or Purchase Price), (ii) a breach by Seller of Section 4.1(a) or (b), or (iii) a breach by Buyer of Section 4.2(a) or (b).

7.5 General Indemnity.

(a) Buyer’s Indemnity. Except as to matters arising out of, concerning or relating to Hazardous Materials, violations of Environmental Law, and/or matters within the scope of Article 5 (which are exclusively addressed elsewhere in this Agreement), Buyer shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Seller and Seller’s Affiliates, from and against all third party (including Stanford) liabilities, claims, losses, actions, damages, fines, costs, expenses, causes of action and demands (collectively “Indemnity Claims”) made against them or any of them (a) arising out of or in connection with the Ground Lease or the Improvements or Personal Property (except to the extent such Indemnity Claims are caused by a material breach of the obligations of Seller under the Agreement or fall within Seller’s indemnity obligations under Section 7.5(b)), and (b) for any tort claims on or with respect to the Real Property giving rise to personal injury or property damage claims to the extent such Indemnity Claims accrue and are applicable to a period on or after the Closing, except to the extent such personal injury or property damage arises out of the active or willful negligence of Seller or Seller Entities.

(b) Seller’s Indemnity. Except as to matters arising out of, concerning or relating to Hazardous Materials, violations of Environmental Law, and/or matters within the scope of Article 5 (which are exclusively addressed elsewhere in this Agreement), Seller shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless Buyer and Buyer’s employees, partners, subsidiaries, parents, affiliates, shareholders, officers, directors, attorneys, agents and affiliates from and against all third party (including Stanford) Indemnity Claims made against them or any of them for any tort claims on or with respect to the Real Property giving rise to personal injury or property damage claims to the extent such Indemnity Claims accrue and are applicable to a period prior to the Closing, except to the extent such personal injury or property damage arises out of the active or willful negligence of Buyer or Buyer Entities.

No extension of time for performance of any obligation or act shall be deemed an extension of the time for performance of any other obligation or act.

Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as authorizing Buyer to apply for a zoning change, variance, subdivision map, lot line adjustment or other governmental act, approval or permit with respect to the Property prior to the Closing, and Buyer agrees not to do so without Seller’s prior written approval.

8.7 Successors and Assigns.

This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto.

Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice versa.

GUARANTY

[FORM SUBJECT TO APPROVAL BY ROCHE HOLDINGS, INC. BY 5/11/11]

In consideration of VMware, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“VMware”) entering into that certain Agreement of Purchase and Sale and Joint Escrow Instructions with Roche Palo Alto, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Roche”) (the “Agreement”), the undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to VMware, and its successors, the observance and performance when due of all obligations of Roche under the Agreement and the Post-Closing Agreement, as defined in the Agreement, including all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by VMware in the enforcement of this Guaranty (collectively, the “Obligations”).

Nothing herein shall require VMware to first seek or exhaust any remedy against Roche, or its successors, or any other person obligated with respect to the Obligations, or to first foreclose, exhaust or otherwise proceed against any equipment, collateral or security which may be given in connection with the Obligations. Suit may be brought and maintained against the undersigned without joinder of Roche or any other person as parties thereto.

The undersigned specifically waives the following:

(a) the applicability of California’s Civil Code Section 2845 which reads: “A surety may require the creditor, subject to Section 996.440 of the Code of Civil Procedure, to proceed against the principal, or to pursue any other remedy in the creditor’s power which the surety cannot pursue, and which would lighten the surety’s burden; and if the creditor neglects to do so, the surety is exonerated to the extent to which the surety is thereby prejudiced.”; and

(b) any suretyship defenses of every nature otherwise available under California law and the laws of any other state, including, without limitation, all defenses arising under Section 2787 through 2855 of the California Civil Code and any successor provisions to those Sections.

The undersigned waives any claim or other right which the undersigned might now have or hereafter acquire against Roche or any person that is primarily or contingently liable on the Obligations.

The undersigned waives notice of acceptance hereof and all other notices or demands of any kind to which it may be entitled and consents that VMware may, without affecting the undersigned’s liability under this Guaranty, (i) compromise or release, on terms satisfactory to it or by operation of law or otherwise, any rights against Roche and other obligors and guarantors; (ii) grant extensions of time to Roche; or (iii) otherwise modify the Obligations or Agreement at any time for any reason.

The undersigned hereby waives any and all presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind under the Guaranty.

This Guaranty shall not be discharged or affected by dissolution of the undersigned, shall bind the heirs, administrators, representatives and successors of the undersigned. This Guaranty shall inure to the benefit of any permitted assignee of the Agreement.

The rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be governed, construed and interpreted according to the laws of the State of California (without regard to its choice of law provisions). The undersigned hereby unconditionally and irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of any state or federal court in the State of California in any action.

If any provision of this Guaranty or any portion of any provision of this Guaranty shall be deemed to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not alter the remaining portion of such provision, or any other provision hereof, as each provision of this Guaranty shall be deemed severable from all other provisions of this Guaranty.

This writing is intended by the parties as a final expression of this guaranty agreement and is also intended as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of such agreement. No course of prior dealing between the parties, no usage of trade and no parol or extrinsic evidence of any nature shall be used to interpret, supplement or modify any term, nor are there any conditions to the full effectiveness, of this Guaranty. This Guaranty, and each of its provisions, can only be waived, modified or terminated, by a duly authorized written instrument signed by VMware.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this Guaranty as of the date below.

2. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date and shall terminate upon the date of the Final Closure Delivery.

3. Grant of Access License; Performance of Closure Work. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, VMware hereby grants to Roche, and its representatives, agents, consultants and designees (collectively, “Roche’s Agents”), and Roche hereby accepts from VMware, a non-exclusive license to enter upon the Property, at Roche’s sole cost, for the purpose of conducting the Closure Work in the Remainder Property, provided that: (i) all persons entering the Property on behalf of Roche for such Closure Work shall be appropriately licensed (if required by Law) and qualified, possess the appropriate permits for the Closure Work, including any proposed drilling or testing, present in advance to VMware evidence of appropriate insurance reasonably satisfactory to VMware, enter at reasonable times and without unreasonable interference with VMware’s use of the Property, and comply with VMware’s reasonable site procedures and requirements; (ii) Roche shall provide VMware with not less

than two (2) business days advance notice of any physical testing or drilling or other similar invasive testing and allow VMware to take split samples; (iii) Roche shall deliver to VMware, without representation or warranty, from time to time, copies of closure plans, amendments, sampling results, applications, and certificates as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt or submittal of same; (iv) Roche shall not have a requirement to restore any damage to the Real Property and Improvements as a result of the Closure Work; however, Roche shall make the Real Property and Improvements reasonably safe and shall restore any roof or building exterior openings, and fill any holes in the ground, as a result of such Closure Work; (v) Roche shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless VMware Entities (defined below) as set forth in Section 8 below; and (vi) Roche shall keep VMware reasonably informed about Roche’s ongoing Closure Work, including without limitation, copying VMware on all emails and other communications sent to and received from Stanford or Authorities having jurisdiction over the Property with respect to the Closure Work and provide the opportunity for meetings between Roche and VMware at regular intervals to review the progress of the Closure Work. All Closure Work, inspections, tests and other evaluations of the Property performed by Roche or its agents shall be at Roche’s sole cost and expense. Roche shall use commercially reasonable efforts to perform the Closure Work in accordance with the detailed schedule attached hereto as Exhibit A, which schedule shall have the same or earlier completion dates as those set forth in the closure schedule attached to the Purchase Agreement and shall be prepared by Roche and attached to this Agreement upon execution hereof.

4. Grant of Occupancy License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, VMware hereby grants to Roche, and Roche hereby accepts from VMware, a non-exclusive license to use and occupy certain premises shown on Exhibit B hereto (the “Premises”) within the building commonly known as Building R6 on the Property. Roche may use the Premises only for office purposes in connection with its administration of the Closure Work. In connection with such use, Roche shall comply with all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated from time to time by VMware, including, without limitation, rules relating to security and access. Roche shall pay before delinquency all taxes imposed against Roche’s personal property on the Premises. Roche accepts the Premises in “as is” condition. Roche shall maintain the Premises in neat, orderly condition and shall repair any damage to the Premises caused by Roche or its agents, employees, contractors or invitees. Roche shall not do or permit anything to be done in, about or with respect to the Premises which would (a) injure the Property or (b) vibrate, shake, overload, or impair the efficient operation of the Property or the building systems located therein. Roche may not permit any use of the Premises by another party or perform any alterations or improvements to the Premises, except for Closure Work provided in the Purchase Agreement, without the prior written consent of VMware, which consent may be withheld in VMware’s sole and absolute discretion. On or prior to the termination of this Agreement, Roche shall remove all of its personal property from the Premises and shall surrender the Premises to VMware broom clean, in the same condition as exists on the Effective Date, reasonable wear and tear excepted. Roche shall not be entitled to any signage on the Property. VMware shall have the right, at any time during the term of this Agreement, to relocate all or a portion of the Premises to other space in the Property that is reasonably comparable in size to the original Premises or applicable portion thereof; provided, however, if VMware so relocates Roche, then VMware shall pay for the reasonable costs of moving Roche from the original Premises to the new Premises.

5. Services. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Roche shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist VMware, for a period of sixty (60) days after Closing only, in the transition of operations to VMware, at no cost or liability to Roche.

6. Confidentiality. Roche agrees to keep confidential all information which may be disclosed to or discovered by Roche during Roche’s occupancy, operations or access on the Property pursuant to this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), including, without limitation, the results of all inspections, analyses, studies and similar reports relating to the Property prepared by or for Roche, provided that the term “Confidential Information” shall not include such portions of materials, documents or other information which (i) is now public knowledge, or becomes public knowledge in the future, other than through acts or omissions of Roche or Roche’s Agents in violation of this Section, (ii) was known to Roche prior to Closing, or known to Roche after Closing without any restriction on use or disclosure, (iii) is disclosed at any time to Roche by a third party that had a lawful right to disclose it, or (iv) is developed by Roche independently of the Confidential Information received hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by VMware, Roche agrees: (x) to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose or reveal any Confidential Information to any person other than Roche’s Agents, which for purposes of this Section, shall include Roche’s current and prospective lenders, accountants and attorneys, but then only to the extent such parties need to review the Confidential Information for purposes of performing the Closure Work; and (y) not to use Confidential Information for any purpose other than in connection with its Closure Work. Roche further agrees to cause Roche’s Agents to agree to comply with the non-disclosure requirements set forth in subsections (x) and (y) above. In the event that Roche is requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process, to disclose any Confidential Information, Roche agrees it shall provide VMware with prompt notice of such request(s) to enable VMware to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy, Roche or any of Roche’s Agents is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, Roche or Roche’s Agents may disclose such portion of the Confidential Information as is legally required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Confidential Information shall be subject to disclosure in litigation between VMware and Roche and (b) the confidentiality covenant contained herein shall not limit Roche from communicating with Stanford University or governmental authorities regarding its performance of the Closure Work, provided that VMware will be copied on all written communications sent by Roche to Stanford and governmental authorities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Roche wishes to have discussions with any environmental regulatory agency staff (including the City of Palo Alto regarding hazardous material closure issues) regarding the environmental condition on or under the Property or the regulatory requirements applicable to them, Roche agrees to reasonably coordinate with VMware in advance to allow a joint approach to and joint discussion with the regulatory agency staff or Stanford, providing VMware and its agents an opportunity to be present for all such discussions; provided, however, that Roche may meet with such agencies without VMware if VMware is not available to meet with such agencies at the times proposed by Roche so long as, not less than two (2) business days before the proposed meeting, Roche proposed to VMware at least two (2) meeting times during normal business hours. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, VMware and Roche will also comply with the provisions regarding communications with the governmental authorities in Section 3.5(c) of the Purchase Agreement.

7. Insurance. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Roche shall obtain and cause its consultants and agents to obtain, at Roche’s sole cost and expense, a policy of commercial general liability insurance covering any and all liability of Roche and Roche’s Agents with respect to or arising out of its occupancy and activities under this Agreement. Such policy of insurance shall be an occurrence policy and shall have liability limits of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability. In addition, for any work that involves hazardous materials, Roche shall cause its consultants and agents to obtain, at Roche’s sole cost and expense, a policy of Contractor’s Pollution Liability insurance with respect to or arising out of their activities with limits of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence and contain the insurer’s standard provision regarding waiver of subrogation. Such liability insurance policies shall name VMware and its respective successors and assigns as additional insureds and shall be in form and substance and issued by an insurance company reasonably satisfactory to VMware. Upon execution of this Agreement, Roche shall deliver certificates of such insurance to VMware. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Roche may elect to self-insure (retain the risk on) some or all of its property insurance and/or liability insurance required under this Section 7. Any undertaking by Roche to self-insure with respect to some or all of its insurance shall not serve to adversely affect VMware, and VMware shall be protected against loss or damage insured by Roche hereunder in the same manner as if Roche had obtained separate property insurance as provided herein. The foregoing right of Roche to self-insure does not apply to Roche’s consultants and contractors.

8. Indemnity. Roche shall indemnify, defend and hold VMware and its Affiliates, directors, officers, shareholders, employees, successor, assigns and agents (“VMware Entities”), and their respective officers, directors, advisors, contractors and employees (“Indemnified Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs) (“Claims”) to the extent caused by the activities of Roche or Roche’s Agents upon the Property in the course of their entry upon the Property pursuant to the access provided in this Agreement, and from all mechanic’s, materialmen’s and other liens resulting from any such conduct of Roche and Roche’s Agents, except to the extent attributable in part to the acts or omissions of the Indemnified Parties; provided, however, than any Claims related to alleged breaches of the Purchase Agreement shall be addressed under the terms of that agreement rather than this Section 8. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Roche’s indemnification obligations set forth herein shall survive the expiration or other termination of this Agreement. As used herein, an “Affiliate” shall mean an entity which controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such party, or acquires all of the assets of such party.

9. Compliance With Laws. Roche shall comply with all Laws (hereinafter defined) pertaining to its activities hereunder with respect to the Property. For purposes hereof, the term “Laws” shall mean all federal, state, county and local governmental and municipal laws, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, decrees, orders and other such requirements, applicable equitable remedies and decisions by courts in cases where such decisions are considered binding precedents in the State of California, and decisions of federal courts applying the Laws of the State of California.

10. License. The interest herein created under Sections 3 and 4 is a non-exclusive license and no leasehold or tenancy is intended to be or shall be created hereby.

11. Copper Allowance. Roche shall reimburse to VMware the actual cost that VMware incurs to replace and install the copper materials that were stolen from the Real Property prior to the Effective Date of the Purchase Agreement, in an amount not to exceed Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000). Such reimbursement shall be made to VMware within thirty (30) days after completion of such replacement by VMware and VMware’s submittal to Roche of an invoice for such amount with appropriate and reasonable substantiation and documentation supporting the invoiced amount. Such work shall be completed by VMware, if at all, by the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing Date. In the event that such work is not completed by such date, or VMware otherwise elects not to replace the stolen copper materials, then Roche shall pay VMware the cost of the copper materials only (not installation), within thirty (30) days of Roche’s receipt of an invoice for the same with appropriate and reasonable substantiation and documentation supporting the invoiced amount (not to exceed Ninety Thousand Dollars ($90,000)).

12. Notices. Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, all notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be personally delivered (including by means of professional messenger service) or sent by registered mail, or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed received upon the date of receipt or refusal thereof at the address set forth below the signatures of this Agreement. Notices of change of address shall be given by written notice as described in this Section.

13. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event any legal action is taken by either party against the other to enforce any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it is agreed that the unsuccessful party to such action shall pay to the prevailing party all court costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expert witness fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party, at trial and on appeal.

14. Authority. Each party hereto warrants that the person signing below on such party’s behalf is authorized to do so and to bind such party to the terms of this Agreement.

15. Disclaimer. Roche acknowledges that portions of the Property may be vacant and that there are inherent risks of harm entering vacant properties. VMware shall not have an obligation to inspect and make safe its premises prior to Roche’s entry on the Property. Roche understands this risk and shall at all times conduct all operations using reasonable care as necessary to avoid the risk of bodily harm to persons or risk of damage to any property.

16. Miscellaneous. This Agreement may not be amended or assigned except by an instrument in writing executed by each of the parties hereto, and shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto. No failure or delay by VMware in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall

any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder. This Agreement is governed by California law without regard to principals of conflicts of laws. This Agreement is made pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the terms of which that are intended to survive closing remain in full force and effect.

17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, and together shall constitute the Agreement.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, VMware and Roche have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the day and year first above written.
