(b)In connection with Section 3.7(a) above, Buyer expressly waives the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code, which provides as follows: “A GENERAL
11
RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY 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 OR RELEASING PARTY.” BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS BEEN REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT SUCH COUNSEL HAS EXPLAINED TO BUYER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.7. BY INITIALING BELOW, BUYER CONFIRMS IT HAS AGREED TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 3.7.
In this connection, Buyer hereby agrees, represents and warrants that Buyer realizes and acknowledges that factual matters now unknown to it may have given or may hereafter give rise to causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses and other claims and liabilities which are presently unknown, unanticipated and unsuspected, and Buyer further agrees, represents and warrants that the waivers and releases herein have been negotiated and agreed upon in light of that realization and that Buyer nevertheless hereby intends to release, discharge and acquit Seller and the Seller Related Parties from any such unknown causes of action, claims, demands, debts, controversies, damages, costs, losses and expenses and other claims and liabilities.
Seller has given Buyer material concessions regarding this transaction in exchange for Buyer agreeing to the provisions of this Section 3.7. Buyer has initialed this Section 3.7 to further indicate its awareness and acceptance of each and every provision hereof; provided, however that failure of Buyer to initial this Section 3.7 below shall not invalidate this Section 3.7 nor any other provision of this Agreement.

Section 3.9Survival.
The provisions of this Article III shall survive the Closing subject to the limitations and qualifications contained in such provisions and in Sections 9.11 and 9.19 hereof.
12
Section 4.1Conditions of Title.
(a)As of the date hereof, Buyer hereby approves all title and survey matters disclosed in the (i) updated preliminary title report or commitment (the “Title Report”) from the Title Company delivered to Buyer prior to the date hereof, together with copies of all underlying documents relating to title exceptions referred to therein and (ii) the plat or survey of the Property and any update thereto from a duly licensed surveyor (the “Survey”) as necessary to support the issuance of the Title Policy (as defined in Section 4.2 below). Buyer shall provide to Seller a copy of the Survey, which shall be certified to the Title Company, Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall pay the entire cost of the Survey. If Closing does not occur, Buyer shall, if Seller so requests, assign to Seller all contract rights Buyer has with the surveyor and in such event Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the cost of the Survey.
(b)In the event the Title Company amends or updates the Title Report after the Effective Date (each, a “Title Report Update”), Buyer shall furnish Seller with a written statement of objections, if any, to the title to the Property (collectively, “Objections”) to any matter first raised in a Title Report Update within three (3) business days after its receipt of such Title Report Update (each, a “Title Update Review Period”). Should Buyer fail to notify Seller in writing of any Objections to any matter first disclosed in a Title Report Update prior to the Title Update Review Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such matters which shall be considered to be “Conditions of Title” as defined in Section 4.1(e) below.
(c)If Seller receives a timely Objection in accordance with Section 4.1(b) (“Buyer’s Notice”), Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, within five (5) business days after receipt of Buyer’s Notice (“Seller’s Response Period”), to elect to attempt to cure any such matter upon written notice to Buyer (“Seller’s Response”), and may extend the Closing Date for up to fifteen (15) business days to allow such cure. If Seller does not give any Seller’s Response, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure any such matters. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall in any event be obligated to cure all matters or items (i) that are monetary liens (including, without limitation, mortgage or deed of trust liens or security interests against the Property), in each case granted by Seller (and not tenants of the Property or other third parties), (ii) real estate tax liens, other than liens for taxes and assessments not yet delinquent and (iii) that have been voluntarily placed against the Property by Seller (and not tenants of the Property or other third parties) after the date of this Agreement and that are not otherwise permitted pursuant to the provisions hereof. Seller shall be entitled to apply the Purchase Price towards the payment or satisfaction of such liens, and may cure any Objection by causing the Title Company to insure against collection of the same out of the Property in a manner reasonably acceptable to Buyer.
(d)If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to attempt to cure any Objections raised in any Buyer’s Notice timely delivered by Buyer to Seller pursuant to Section 4.1(b), or if Seller notifies Buyer that it elects to attempt to cure any such Objection but then does not for any reason effect such cure on or before the Closing Date as it may be extended hereunder, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the option of terminating this Agreement
13
by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within three (3) business days after (as applicable) (i) its receipt of Seller’s Response stating that Seller will not attempt to cure any such Objection or (ii) the expiration of Seller’s Response Period if Seller does not deliver a Seller’s Response or (iii) Seller’s failure to cure by the Closing Date (as it may be extended hereunder) any Objection which Seller has previously elected to attempt to cure pursuant to a Seller’s Response. In the event of such a termination, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9. If no such termination notice is timely received by Seller hereunder, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all such Objections in which event those Objections shall become “Conditions of Title” under Section 4.1(e). If the Closing is not consummated for any reason other than Seller’s default hereunder, Buyer shall be responsible for any title or escrow cancellation charges.
(e)At the Closing, Seller shall convey title to the Property to Buyer by deed in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Deed”) subject to no exceptions other than:
(1)Interests of tenants in possession under the Leases (in effect on the Effective Date, subject to Sections 7.1 and 7.2 with respect to New Leases (as defined in Section 7.2 below)) and the interest of Zynga as tenant in possession under the Zynga Lease;
(2)Matters created by or with the written consent of Buyer;
(3)Non-delinquent liens for real estate taxes and assessments; and
(4)Any exceptions disclosed by the Title Report and any Title Report Update which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with this Article IV above, and any other exceptions to title disclosed by the public records or which would be disclosed by an inspection and/or survey of the Property.
All of the foregoing exceptions shall be referred to collectively as the “Conditions of Title.” By acceptance of the Deed and the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Property, (x) Buyer agrees it is assuming for the benefit of Seller all of the obligations of Seller with respect to the Conditions of Title from and after the Closing, and (y) Buyer agrees that Seller shall have conclusively satisfied its obligations with respect to title to the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller is in the process of [***]. Seller shall deliver to Buyer any revised draft [***] prior to its execution and Buyer shall have three (3) business days to review and reasonably approve such revised draft [***] and provide any comments in Buyer’s reasonable discretion. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate Buyer’s reasonable comments into any draft [***] and Seller shall keep Buyer apprised of the status of the [***]. Seller shall not execute and/or record the [***] against the Property without Buyer’s prior written approval.
Delivery of title in accordance with the foregoing shall be evidenced by the willingness of the Title Company to issue, at Closing, its Owner’s ALTA Policy of Title Insurance in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Real Property vested in Buyer, subject only to the
14
Conditions of Title (the “Title Policy”). The issuance of the Title Policy at Closing is a condition in favor of Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to have the Title Policy written by co-insurers and to have re-insurance title policies issued, but such matters shall not be conditions to Closing. If this condition is not satisfied, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9. The Title Policy may contain such endorsements as reasonably required by Buyer provided that the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder. Buyer shall pay the costs for all such endorsements. Other than providing the Owner’s Declaration (defined below), Seller shall have no obligation to provide any indemnity or agreement to the Title Company or Buyer to support the issuance of the Title Policy.
ARTICLE V
RISK OF LOSS AND INSURANCE PROCEEDS
Buyer shall be bound to purchase the Property for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof, without regard to the occurrence or effect of any damage to the Property or destruction of any improvements thereon or condemnation of any portion of the Property, provided that: (a) (i) the cost to repair any such damage or destruction does not exceed an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer or in the case of a condemnation, the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a partial condemnation is not material (as hereinafter defined) and (ii) such damage or destruction does not result in [***], and (b) upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards and the restoration or repair of the Property (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property, and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent.
If (i) the cost to repair the damage or destruction as specified above exceeds an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price in the estimate of an architect or contractor selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer or the diminution in the value of the remaining Property as a result of a condemnation is material (as hereinafter defined) and/or (ii) [***], then Buyer may, at its option to be exercised within five (5) business days of Seller’s notice of the occurrence of the damage or destruction or the commencement of condemnation proceedings, either terminate this Agreement or consummate the purchase for the full Purchase Price as required by the terms hereof. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement by delivering
15
written notice thereof to Seller or fails to give Seller notice within such five (5) business day period that Buyer will proceed with the purchase, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9. If Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase, then upon the Closing, there shall be a credit against the Purchase Price due hereunder equal to the amount of any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards collected by Seller as a result of any such damage or destruction or condemnation, plus the amount of any insurance deductible, less any sums expended by Seller toward the collection of such proceeds or awards or to restoration or repair of the Property (the nature of which restoration or repairs, but not the right of Seller to effect such restoration or repairs, shall be subject to the approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). If the proceeds or awards have not been collected as of the Closing, then such proceeds or awards shall be assigned to Buyer, except to the extent needed to reimburse Seller for sums expended to collect such proceeds or awards or to repair or restore the Property, and Seller shall retain the rights to such proceeds and awards to such extent. A condemnation shall be deemed material if any portion of any net rentable area of the Property is taken, or any parking is taken which would cause the Property to be in violation of any existing laws or regulations, including but not limited to, zoning regulations, or the existing access to the Property is materially and adversely affected, permanently.
ARTICLE VI
BROKERS AND EXPENSES
The parties represent and warrant to each other that no broker or finder was instrumental in arranging or bringing about this transaction except for Eastdil Secured (“Seller’s Broker”). At Closing, Seller shall pay the commission due, if any, to Seller’s Broker, which shall be paid pursuant to a separate agreement between Seller and Seller’s Broker. If any other person brings a claim for a commission or finder’s fee based upon any contact, dealings or communication with Buyer or Seller, then the party through whom such person makes his claim shall defend the other party (the “Indemnified Party”) from such claim, and shall indemnify the Indemnified Party and hold the Indemnified Party harmless from any and all costs, damages, claims, liabilities or expenses (including without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Indemnified Party in defending against the claim. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing or, if the purchase and sale is not consummated, any termination of this Agreement.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, each party hereto shall pay its own expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

ARTICLE VII
LEASES AND OTHER AGREEMENTS
(a)Between the Effective Date and the Closing, Seller shall continue to lease the Property in the same manner as before the making of this Agreement, the same as though Seller were retaining the Property provided that Seller shall not enter into any new Lease or other agreement affecting the Property, or modify or terminate any existing Lease or other agreement affecting the Property, which will be binding on the Property after Closing, except as required under any Lease and except for agreements which are terminable on no more than thirty (30) days’ notice without payment of any penalty or fee or other cost to Seller or Buyer, without first obtaining Buyer’s approval of the proposed action, which approval, subject to Section 7.1(b) below, shall be granted or withheld in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. In such case, Buyer shall specify in detail the reasons for its disapproval of any such proposed action. If Buyer fails to give Seller notice of its approval or disapproval of any such proposed action requiring its approval under this Section 7.1 within three (3) business days after Seller notifies Buyer of Seller’s desire to take such action, then Buyer shall be deemed to have given its approval. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in enabling Seller to complete any such proposed transaction approved by Buyer.

Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate Buyer’s reasonable comments into any draft [***] Amendment prior to executing the [***] Amendment. Seller has the right to (i) execute the [***] Amendment which contains the Required Provision and
17
other provisions reasonably approved by Buyer, or (ii) [***]. Seller will not be in default hereunder if Seller and [***] do not execute the [***] Amendment as described in clause (i) above.
Section 7.2Tenant Improvement Costs, Leasing Commissions and Concessions.
With respect to any new Lease or Lease modification entered into by Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, and with respect to any renewal, extension or expansion of any Lease, whether through the exercise of an option or otherwise, occurring between such date and the Closing Date (collectively with any new Lease or Lease modification entered into by Seller between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, “New Leases”), and subject to Buyer’s approval rights under Section 7.1, all tenant improvement work, tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, legal fees or other expenses or grants of any free rent period or other concessions (collectively, “Leasing Costs”) relating to the New Leases shall be borne by Buyer.

Pursuant to the Assignment of Leases, Buyer shall assume any then-outstanding obligations with respect to the Leasing Costs, both with respect to the New Leases, subject to Buyer’s approval rights under Section 7.1, and the existing Leases in effect as of the Effective Date. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing.
(a)At the Closing, Seller shall furnish Buyer with a signed notice to be given to each tenant of the Property. The notice shall disclose that the Property has been sold to Buyer, that, after the Closing, all rents should be paid to Buyer and that Buyer shall be responsible for all the tenant’s security deposit. The form of the notice shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to the parties. Buyer covenants to deliver said notices to each tenant as soon as reasonably possible after Closing.

18

(a)Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppel certificates from each tenant of the Property substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or, if a tenant’s lease requires a different form, in the form required by the tenant’s lease, or as
21
otherwise provided in this paragraph below (each, an “Estoppel Certificate”). Buyer shall have the right to review and reasonably approve the forms of Estoppel Certificates before delivery to each applicable tenant, provided that Buyer shall respond to any request for approval within three (3) days after the receipt of the applicable estoppel. It shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligation to close the sale and purchase of the Property that on or before the Closing Date, Buyer is able to obtain [***]. If this condition is not satisfied, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9. All estoppel certificates shall be dated no more than forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing Date.

(b)If Seller is unable to obtain and deliver the Required Estoppels as required under Section 8.4(a), or if the certificates received contain a statement that Seller is in default under a Lease and Buyer objects thereto by written notice to Seller within two (2) business days after receipt by Buyer of the objectionable estoppel, but in any event on or before the Closing Date, then Seller will not be in default by reason thereof, and either Buyer or Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date by up to thirty (30) days in order to satisfy the requirement. If Seller still cannot satisfy the requirement at the end of such extended period, then Buyer may, by written notice given to Seller before the Closing, elect to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit or waive said condition. If Buyer so elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except as provided in Sections 6.1, 9.3, 9.5 and 9.9. If no such notice is delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such condition.
(a)Rents, including, without limitation, percentage rents, if any, and any additional charges and expenses payable by tenants under Leases, all as and when actually collected; real property taxes and assessments; all other income from the Property; water, sewer and utility charges; amounts payable under any Service Contracts or other agreements or documents; annual permits and/or inspection fees (calculated on the basis of the period covered); and any other expenses of the operation and maintenance of the Property (including, without limitation, expenses prepaid by Seller and expenses already paid by Seller but which are being amortized over time by Seller and with respect to which Seller shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of the prepaid or unamortized portion thereof), shall all be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately prior to Closing (i.e., Buyer is entitled to the income and responsible for the expenses of the day of Closing), on the basis of a 365-day year. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for tenant improvement costs, tenant improvement allowances, leasing commissions, legal fees and other expenses, and free rent and other concessions, to the extent specified in Section 7.2.
22
All rents collected after the Closing shall be applied and paid as provided in this Section 8.5(a). If a tenant shall specifically designate a payment as being attributable to, or if it is readily ascertainable that a payment received from a tenant is attributable to a specific period of time or for a specific purpose, including, without limitation, for operating expenses or real estate tax payments which were not paid or were underpaid by such tenant or for reimbursement for work performed by Seller on the tenant’s premises, such payment shall be so applied. If there is no such designation or if not so readily ascertainable, any payment received from a tenant after Closing shall be deemed a payment of rent due after the Closing until the tenant is current on rents and sums due under the applicable Lease on or after the Closing, and then such payments shall be paid to Seller to the extent of any rent or other sums owing to Seller for periods prior to Closing. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to collect such rents and other sums owing to Seller for a period of twelve (12) months after Closing. Seller retains the right to collect any such rents and other sums from tenants after Closing; provided, however, that Seller shall have no right to cause any such tenant to be evicted or to exercise any other landlord remedy against such tenant other than to xxx for collection.
Reconciliations of taxes, insurance charges and other expenses owed by tenants under Leases for the calendar year (or fiscal year if different from the calendar year) in which the Closing occurs (the “CAM Charges”) shall be prepared within one hundred twenty (120) days following the end of the year in which the Closing Date occurs. In connection with such reconciliation, if requested by Buyer in writing Seller shall provide to Buyer a copy of its general ledger of operating expenses and real estate taxes and such other information as Buyer reasonably requests (excluding any Confidential Information) in connection with the preparation of such tenant reconciliations. For those Leases in which tenants pay a proportionate share of taxes, insurance charges or other expenses over a base year amount or expense stop, the proration between the parties of the income received from tenants over such base year amount or expense stop shall be calculated based on the total amount of such expenses for the Property incurred by both Seller and Buyer for the entire calendar (or, if applicable, fiscal) year, rather than on the amount of such expenses actually incurred by each party for such year, in order to enable the parties to determine if the base year amount or expense stop for such year is exceeded. Such income as so calculated shall be prorated between the parties based on the number of days each party owned the Property during such year and otherwise in accordance with this Section 8.5(a). For Leases which do not have a base year amount or expense stop, the proration between the parties of income received from tenants from reconciliations of expenses under the Leases shall be calculated based on the expenses actually incurred by each party for such year and each party’s period of ownership of the Property, and otherwise in accordance with this Section 8.5(a).
The amount of any cash security deposits held by Seller under Leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price (and Seller shall be entitled to retain such cash security deposits). Seller shall receive credits at Closing for the amount of any utility or other deposits with respect to the Property to the extent the same are transferred to Buyer. Buyer shall cause all utilities to be transferred into Buyer’s name and account at the time of Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if Seller is holding letters of credit as security under any of the Leases (“Letters of Credit”): (i) Buyer shall not be credited and Seller shall not be debited with the amount of such Letters of Credit; and (ii) Seller, at Buyer’s expense, unless payable by the applicable tenant under its Lease, shall either (A) if the same are assignable, assign Seller’s interest in such Letters of Credit to Buyer (which assignment shall be without representation or warranty by, or recourse
23
against, Seller) and reasonably cooperate with Buyer to cause the issuing bank to recognize and consummate such assignment, or (B) if not assignable, cause such Letters of Credit to be reissued (at no cost to Seller) in favor of Buyer at Closing.
The Title Company will prepare a draft proration statement setting forth the prorations and adjustments provided for in this Section 8.5(a) and deliver the same along with supporting documentation to Buyer and Seller for review at least five (5) days prior to Closing. Seller and Buyer will then deliver a joint proration statement to the Title Company at least two (2) business days prior to Closing. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that if any of the aforesaid prorations and credits cannot be calculated accurately on the Closing Date or in the case of rents or other charges received from tenants, such amounts have not been collected, then the same shall be calculated as soon as reasonably practicable after the Closing Date, provided that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all final prorations between the parties shall be made no later than December 1, 2019, except for CAM Charges, which prorations shall be made no later than May 1, 2020. Upon request of either party, the parties shall provide a detailed and accurate written statement signed by such party certifying as to the payments received by such party from tenants from and after Closing and to the manner in which such payments were applied, and shall make their books and records available for inspection by the other party during ordinary business hours upon reasonable advance notice.
Seller retains the right to pursue and control any tax appeals applicable to periods prior to the tax year of the Closing, and Buyer shall cooperate with Seller with respect to such appeals at no material cost or expense to Buyer. Each of Seller and Buyer shall reasonably approve any tax appeal applicable to the tax year in which the Closing occurs. Any refund of real property taxes or special assessments relating to the period prior to Closing shall be for the account of Seller, after the return of any amounts owed to tenants under the Leases in effect as of the Closing Date. To the extent Buyer receives any such refund, Buyer shall remit such refund to Seller within five (5) business days of receipt thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and Seller shall reasonably and jointly pursue and control any tax appeals applicable to the current tax year, and the parties shall prorate all costs incurred and recovered in connection therewith based on the portion of the proceeds of any tax appeal recovery allocable to each party’s respective period of ownership of the Property.
(b)Buyer shall pay (i) all premiums and cost for the Title Policy, including, without limitation, costs for endorsements to the Title Policy, (ii) fifty percent (50%) of the escrow fees and recording fees, (iii) Buyer’s brokerage fees, if any, and (iv) all costs of Buyer’s due diligence, including, without limitation, Buyer’s legal fees. Seller shall pay (a) all City and County of San Francisco transfer taxes, and (b) fifty percent (50%) of the escrow and recording fees. All other title charges (including any reinsurance charges) and sales taxes shall be paid by Buyer at Closing. The parties will execute and deliver any required transfer or other similar tax declarations to the appropriate governmental entity at Closing.
(c)The provisions of this Section 8.5 shall survive the Closing.

Section 9.2Entire Agreement.
This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto, contains all representations, warranties and covenants made by Buyer and Seller and constitutes the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any prior correspondence, memoranda or agreements are replaced in total by this Agreement together with the Exhibits and schedules hereto.
Section 9.3Entry and Indemnity.
In connection with any entry by Buyer, or its agents, employees or contractors onto the Property, Buyer shall give Seller reasonable advance notice of such entry and shall conduct such entry and any inspections in connection therewith (a) during normal business hours, (b) so as to minimize, to the greatest extent possible, interference with Seller’s business and the business of Seller’s tenants, (c) in compliance with all applicable laws, and (d) otherwise in a manner reasonably acceptable to Seller. Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on-site testing, including but not limited to any air sampling, borings, drillings or other samplings, Buyer shall give Seller written notice thereof, including the identity of the company or persons who will perform such testing and the proposed scope and methodology of the testing. Seller shall approve or disapprove, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, the proposed testing within three (3) business days after receipt of such notice. If Seller fails to respond within such three (3) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have disapproved the proposed testing. If Buyer or its agents, employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any such approved testing, Buyer shall provide to Seller a portion of such sample being tested to allow Seller, if it so chooses, to perform its own testing. Buyer shall permit Seller or its representative
26
to be present to observe any testing or other inspection or due diligence review performed on or at the Property. Upon the request of Seller, if this Agreement has been terminated, Buyer shall promptly deliver to Seller copies of any reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by Buyer or its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants without representation, warranty or any right of reliance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Buyer shall not contact any governmental authority (except for routine due diligence inquiries) or any tenant without first obtaining the prior written consent of Seller thereto in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, and Seller, at Seller’s election, shall be entitled to have a representative participate in any telephone or other contact made by Buyer to a governmental authority or tenant and present at any meeting by Buyer with a governmental authority or tenant. Buyer shall maintain, and shall assure that its contractors maintain, public liability and property damage insurance in amounts (but in no event less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) with respect to any liability insurance) and in form and substance adequate to insure against all liability of Buyer and its agents, employees or contractors, arising out of any entry or inspections of the Property pursuant to the provisions hereof, and Seller, Zynga and Seller’s property manager, Xxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxxx, shall be named as additional insureds on such insurance. Buyer shall provide Seller with evidence of such insurance coverage prior to any entry on the Property. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any costs, damages, liabilities, losses, expenses, liens or claims (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) arising out of or relating to any entry on the Property by Buyer, its agents, employees or contractors in the course of performing the inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement, including, without limitation, any release of Hazardous Materials or any damage to the Property; provided that Buyer shall not be liable to Seller solely as a result of the discovery by Buyer of a pre-existing condition on the Property to the extent the activities of Buyer, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors or consultants do not exacerbate the condition. The provisions of this Section 9.3 shall be in addition to any access or indemnity agreement previously executed by Buyer in connection with the Property; provided that in the event of any inconsistency between this Section 9.3 and such other agreement, the provisions of this Section 9.3 shall govern. The foregoing indemnity shall survive beyond the Closing, or, if the sale is not consummated, beyond the termination of this Agreement. Buyer’s right of entry, as provided in this Section 9.3, shall continue up through the date of Closing.
Time is of the essence in the performance of each of the parties’ respective obligations contained herein. If the time period by which any right, option or election provided under this Agreement must be exercised, or by which any act required hereunder must be performed, or by which the Closing must be held, expires on a Saturday, Sunday or legal or bank holiday, then such time period shall be automatically extended through the close of business on the next regularly scheduled business day.
If either party hereto fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement or if any dispute arises between the parties hereto concerning the meaning or interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, whether prior to or after Closing, or if any party defaults in payment of its post-Closing financial obligations under this Agreement, then the defaulting party or the party not
27
prevailing in such dispute, as the case may be, shall pay any and all costs and expenses incurred by the other party on account of such default and/or in enforcing or establishing its rights hereunder, including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.
Buyer’s rights and obligations hereunder shall not be assignable without the prior written consent of Seller, which may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, provided that Buyer may assign this Agreement to an entity owned and controlled by [***] and/or Beacon Capital Partners, LLC or under common control with [***] and/or Beacon Capital Partners, LLC, with written notice to Seller at least five (5) business days prior to Closing. Buyer shall in no event be released from any of its obligations or liabilities hereunder in connection with any assignment. Without limiting and notwithstanding the above, in no event shall Buyer have the right to assign its rights or obligations hereunder to any party which could not make the representation and warranty contained in subsections 3.5(e) and (g) above, and in connection with any assignment pursuant to the terms hereof, the assignee shall reconfirm in a written instrument acceptable to Seller and delivered to Seller prior to the effective date of the assignment said representation and warranty as applied to the assignee and that all other terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to such assignee and are being assumed by assignee. Subject to the provisions of this Section, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
Section 9.9Confidentiality and Return of Documents.
Except as may be required by law, including without limitation any securities laws, Buyer and Seller shall each maintain as confidential any and all material obtained about the other or, in the case of Buyer, about the Property, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall not disclose such information to any third party. Except as may be required by law, Buyer will not divulge any such information to other persons or entities including, without limitation, appraisers, real estate brokers, or competitors of Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to disclose information with respect to this Agreement and the Property to its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, accountants, environmental auditors, engineers, partners, investors, potential lenders, and permitted assignees under this Agreement and other consultants to the extent necessary for Buyer to evaluate its acquisition of the Property provided that all such persons are told that such information is confidential and agree (in writing for any third party engineers, environmental auditors or other consultants) to keep such information confidential. Seller shall have the right to disclose information with respect to this Agreement and
28
the Property without Buyer’s prior consent thereto in connection with any disclosures required by applicable securities laws. If Buyer acquires the Property from Seller, any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein, and the wording of same, must be reasonably approved in advance by both parties. Except as required by applicable law, including without limitation disclosures required by applicable securities laws and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission filings, (i) any public announcement, press release or other public disclosure by Seller or Buyer regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein after Closing, and the wording of same, must be reasonably approved in advance by the other party and (ii) such press release or public disclosure shall not contain any specific economics of the transaction. The provisions of this paragraph shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement for one (1) year. In the event the transaction contemplated by this Agreement does not close as provided herein, upon the request of Seller, Buyer shall promptly return to Seller all Due Diligence Materials and other documents and copies obtained by Buyer in connection with the purchase of the Property hereunder.
Section 9.10Interpretation of Agreement.

The term “person” shall include any individual, partnership, joint venture, corporation, trust, unincorporated association, any other entity and any government or any department or agency thereof, whether acting in an individual, fiduciary or other capacity.
Section 9.11Limited Liability.
The obligations of Seller under this Agreement and under all of the Other Documents are intended to be binding only on the property of Seller and shall not be personally binding upon, nor shall any resort be had to, the private properties of any Seller Related Parties.
This Agreement may be amended or modified only by a written instrument signed by Buyer and Seller.
Neither this Agreement or any memorandum or short form thereof may be recorded by Buyer.
Section 9.14Drafts Not an Offer to Enter Into a Legally Binding Contract.
The parties hereto agree that the submission of a draft of this Agreement by one party to another is not intended by either party to be an offer to enter into a legally binding contract with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property. The parties shall be legally bound with respect to the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to the terms of this Agreement only if and when the parties have been able to negotiate all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in a manner
29
acceptable to each of the parties in their respective sole and absolute discretion, and both Seller and Buyer have fully executed and delivered to each other a counterpart of this Agreement (or a copy by facsimile transmission) (the “Effective Date”).
The relationship of the parties hereto is solely that of Seller and Buyer with respect to the Property and no joint venture or other partnership exists between the parties hereto. Neither party has any fiduciary relationship hereunder to the other.

The provisions of this Agreement are not intended to benefit any third parties, except the Seller Related Parties.
Section 9.17Intentionally Omitted.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, after the Closing: (a) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (including, without limitation, for any breach of any representation, warranty and/or covenant by Seller) in connection with the Property and/or the sale thereof to Buyer including, without limitation, under this Agreement or any documents executed pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, including, without limitation, the Deed, the Xxxx of Sale, and the Assignment of Leases (collectively, the “Other Documents”, shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed one percent (1%) of the Purchase Price; and (b) no claim by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of Seller contained herein or in any of the Other Documents may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any such representation, warranty and/or covenant is for an aggregate amount in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Floor Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall be for the entire amount thereof, subject to the limitation set forth in clause (a) above; provided, however, that if any such final judgment is for an amount that is less than or equal to the Floor Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect thereto.
Except as expressly set forth to the contrary herein, no representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Seller contained herein shall survive the Closing.
Section 9.20Survival of Article IX.
The provisions of this Article IX shall survive the Closing.
30
Section 9.21Know Your Counterparty.
Without limiting Buyer’s representation and warranty in Section 3.5(g) above, within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall furnish to Seller all information regarding Buyer, its affiliates and the shareholders, members, investors or partners of each of them and any permitted assignees of Buyer hereunder (collectively, the “Buyer Related Parties”) as Seller reasonably requests in order to enable Seller to determine that Buyer’s representation and warranty contained in Section 3.5(g) of this Agreement is true and correct.

The Form 8875 shall be filed by the REIT to effectuate the joint election of Zynga and the REIT for Zynga to be a taxable REIT subsidiary (within the meaning of Section 856(l) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended) of the REIT, and shall have an effective date no later than the Closing Date.
