NOW, THEREFORE, incorporating the foregoing recitals, and in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree that the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the instructions to Commerce Escrow Company (“Escrow Holder”), with regard to the escrow (“Escrow”) created pursuant hereto are as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. Seller agrees to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase the Property from Seller, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.
2. Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 3 below. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to allocate the Purchase Price with regard to the value of each Parcel at Closing (as defined below) or in connection with the assignment of this Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 19 hereof. Prior to the Closing Date, Buyer and Seller shall mutually agree upon the allocation of the Purchase Price with regard to the value of the Real Property and the Personal Property.
3
3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for the Property shall be paid by Buyer as set forth below in this Paragraph 3.
3.1 Deposit. Within two (2) business days after the Opening of Escrow, Buyer shall deposit or cause to be deposited with Escrow Holder the Deposit. Escrow Holder shall immediately invest the Deposit in a federally-insured, interest-bearing account reasonably satisfactory to Buyer. If this Agreement has not been previously terminated by Buyer by delivery to Seller and Escrow Holder of a written notice of termination in accordance with the terms hereof prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date, then on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date, the Deposit shall not be refundable unless (i) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is not consummated as the result of Seller’s default or due to failure of any condition precedent to Close of Escrow for the benefit of Buyer, or (ii) pursuant to any other provision of this Agreement which expressly provides for refund of the Deposit to Buyer. Upon the Close of Escrow (as defined below in Paragraph 4.2), the Deposit shall be credited toward payment of the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding any provision set forth in this Agreement, One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) of the Deposit shall be non-refundable in all events (other than Seller’s default) and shall be paid to Seller in the event that this Agreement is terminated (other than due to Seller’s default) at any time prior to the Close of Escrow (the “Independent Consideration”). The Independent Consideration shall be applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing.
3.2 Cash Balance. Not less than one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit or cause to be deposited, with Escrow Holder, in immediately available funds, the balance of the Purchase Price (i.e., the Purchase Price less the Deposit), and such other funds as may be necessary in accordance with the terms hereof to pay for Buyer’s share of closing costs and charges set forth in Paragraph 10 below and Buyer’s share of prorations set forth on the Proration and Expense Schedule (as defined below in Paragraph 11) payable pursuant to this Agreement.
4. Escrow.
4.1 Opening of Escrow. For the purposes of this Agreement, the Escrow shall be deemed opened (“Opening of Escrow”) on the date Escrow Holder receives an original of this Agreement fully executed by Buyer and Seller, which shall occur no later than two (2) business days after this Agreement is executed and delivered by the parties. Escrow Holder shall promptly notify Buyer and Seller in writing of the Opening of Escrow. Buyer and Seller agree to execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable or customary supplemental escrow instructions or other instruments reasonably required by Escrow Holder to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that no such instruments shall be inconsistent or in conflict with, amend or supersede any portion of this Agreement. If there is any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of such instruments and the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement shall control. Pursuant to Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Escrow Holder shall be designated the “closing agent” hereunder and shall be solely responsible for complying with the Tax Reform Act of 1986, as amended, with regard to reporting all settlement information to the Internal Revenue Service.
4
4.2 Close of Escrow. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Close of Escrow” or the “Closing” shall be the date that the Deed (as defined below in Paragraph 9.1.1) is recorded in the Official Records of the County (the “Official Records”); provided that Buyer may request a gap closing, and if so requested then Seller shall reasonably cooperate and provide the Title Company and Escrow Holder with such commercially reasonable documents as are customarily required from a seller for a gap closing, and the “Close of Escrow” shall be deemed to be the date of such gap closing, notwithstanding that the actual recordation of the Deed may occur subsequently. Unless changed in writing by Buyer and Seller, the Close of Escrow shall occur on the Closing Date. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation), at Seller’s sole election, to extend the Closing Date up to a maximum of ten (10) additional business days if the condition set forth in Paragraph 7.4 is not timely satisfied by delivering written notice of such election to extend to Buyer and Escrow Holder at least ten (10) days prior to the then scheduled Closing Date.
5. Condition of Title. Title to the Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by the Deed subject to the following conditions of title to the extent approved by Buyer after Buyer’s review of same during the Contingency Period (collectively, the “Approved Title Conditions”).

5.2 Approved Matters. Matters affecting the Property created by or with the written consent of Buyer.
5.3 Additional Matters. Exceptions that are disclosed by the Report (as defined below in Paragraph 7.1) and that are approved or deemed approved by Buyer in accordance with the terms of Paragraph 7.1.
5.4 Survey Matters. All matters that would be revealed or disclosed in an accurate survey or inspection of the Real Property.
5.5 Laws. All governmental laws, ordinances, rules and regulations affecting the Property.
6. Buyer’s Title Insurance. At the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall issue to Buyer its standard Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”) in the amount of the Purchase Price showing title to the Property vested in Buyer and subject to the Approved Title Conditions. Buyer shall have the right, at its sole expense (as to the difference between the cost of standard and extended coverage) , to request and obtain an ALTA extended coverage policy of title insurance and any binder(s), and if so requested then the term “Title Policy” shall mean such extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance and such binder(s), and such additional coverage(s) shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close this transaction so long as Buyer timely complies with the Title Company’s requirements for such additional coverage(s), but the additional coverage(s) shall not otherwise excuse or delay any of Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. Buyer shall have sole responsibility for obtaining, and bearing the cost of, any survey required by the Title Company. Seller will promptly provide Buyer with a copy of any existing survey in Seller’s possession or control in order to facilitate and expedite Buyer obtaining a new or updated survey.

7. Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow for the Benefit of Buyer. The Close of Escrow and Buyer’s obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the timely satisfaction or written waiver of the following conditions precedent for Buyer’s benefit by the dates designated below:
7.1 Title.
7.1.1 Buyer shall have approved the legal description of the Land and any matters of title disclosed by the following documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”) prepared and delivered to Buyer by Chicago Title Company (the “Title Company”): (a) a standard preliminary title report prepared and issued by the Title Company with respect to the Real Property (the “Report”); (b) legible and complete copies of all recorded documents referred to in the Report; and (c) to the extent in Seller’s possession or control, Seller’s most current copy of an ALTA survey of the Real Property. Seller shall cause Title Company to deliver to Buyer the Title Documents within three (3) days after the Opening of Escrow. Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date to deliver to Seller written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s disapproval or conditional approval of any matters shown in or disclosed by the Title Documents. Buyer’s failure to timely deliver Buyer’s Title Notice shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of all matters of title shown or disclosed in the Report. If Buyer timely delivers to Seller Buyer’s Title Notice, then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to indicate which matters, if any, identified in Buyer’s Title Notice will be satisfied or cured by the Closing Date by delivering written notice thereof to Buyer (“Seller’s Title Notice”) within two (2) business days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Title Notice; Seller’s Title Notice, if any, must explain with reasonable specificity the manner in which Seller intends to cure the disapproved item (e.g., by obtaining and recording necessary documents to remove the matter of record, by purchasing endorsement coverage, etc.). Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to satisfy or cure any of the matters set forth in Buyer’s Title Notice. If Seller delivers Seller’s Title Notice (or deemed notice) to Buyer, Buyer shall have until five (5) business days following receipt of Seller’s Title Notice (“Buyer’s Response Date”) to deliver written notice to Seller (“Buyer’s Response Notice”) either (y) approving Seller’s Title Notice (or deemed notice), in which case Seller shall satisfy or cure, as applicable, the matters set forth in Seller’s Title Notice in the manner set forth therein, if applicable, and the matters set forth in Buyer’s Title Notice which are not addressed in Seller’s Title Notice shall be deemed to constitute Approved Title Conditions, or (z) disapproving Seller’s Title Notice (or deemed notice), in which case this Agreement shall terminate, Escrow Holder shall promptly refund the Deposit (less one-half of any title and escrow cancellation charges) and neither party hereunder shall have any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as specifically set forth herein. If Seller in its sole discretion elects to cure any matters set forth in Buyer’s Title Notice in the manner described in Seller’s Title Notice and as reasonably approved by Buyer, then Seller shall have until the Closing Date to use commercially reasonable efforts to do so, provided failure to accomplish the cure despite such efforts shall in no way be deemed a default by Seller hereunder. If such cure cannot be accomplished within such time, and Buyer has not waived its objections by the Closing Date, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither
6
party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. Buyer’s failure to timely notify Seller in writing on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on Buyer’s Response Date of its disapproval of any matters set forth in Seller’s Title Notice (or deemed notice) shall be deemed Buyer’s election to waive its title objections. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Paragraph 7.1, Seller shall be obligated to take such actions as may be reasonably required by the Title Company to enable the Title Company to commit to issue the Title Policy to Buyer for the Property without exception for any of the following matters affecting the Property (a) mortgage or deed of trust or any other similar encumbrance, (b) mechanic’s liens, (c) judgment liens, and (d) delinquent property taxes (collectively, the “Monetary Liens”); provided that if Seller intends to eliminate the Monetary Liens by any means other than payment in full and recordation or filing of appropriate releases, satisfactions or reconveyances, Seller shall notify Buyer of such means prior to such elimination and Buyer shall have the right to reasonably approve or disapprove such means of elimination. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended on a day-by-day basis to provide sufficient time for the time periods set forth in this Paragraph 7.1.1 to run.
7.1.2 Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, if the Title Company amends or updates the Title Report (other than any amendment or update relating to items arising solely out of or related solely to the acts or omissions of Buyer or its agents, partners, affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, consultants, contractors or subcontractors) (each, a “Title Report Update”) and any Title Report Update first discloses any additional item, not previously disclosed to, or actually known by, Buyer, that adversely affects title to, the current or contemplated use of, or condition of the Property (a “New Exception”), Buyer shall have five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of such Title Report Update to review and approve or disapprove of the New Exception upon the same terms and conditions provided above in connection with the Title Documents, and Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to cure any such objections to the New Exception upon the same terms and conditions provided above in connection with the Title Documents; it being acknowledged, however, that if Seller is unable or unwilling to satisfy Buyer’s objections to any New Exception, then Buyer shall have the right, at Buyer’s option, via delivery of written notice thereof to Seller, to either (i) waive the unsatisfied objections to the New Exception, in which event those unsatisfied objections shall become Approved Title Conditions, or (ii) terminate this Agreement. If Buyer does not give written notice of its objection to any New Exception within said five (5) business-day period, or notice of its election to terminate this Agreement within five (5) business days after receipt of Seller’s response, if any, thereto, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception. If Buyer terminates the Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Paragraph 7.1.2, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except as specifically set forth in this Agreement. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended on a day-by-day basis to provide sufficient time for the time periods set forth in this Paragraph 7.1.2 to run.
7.2 Physical Inspections and Studies. Subject to Paragraph 14 below, Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove, in Buyer’s sole discretion, the results of Buyer’s inspections, investigations, tests and studies, including, without limitation, investigations with regard to zoning, building codes and other governmental regulations, architectural inspections, engineering tests, and soils, seismic and geologic reports with respect to the Property, inspections of all or any portion of the Improvements (including, without limitation, structural, mechanical and electrical systems, roofs, pavement, landscaping and public utilities),
7
and any other physical inspections (including, without limitation, environmental matters) and/or investigations (collectively, the “Tests”) as Buyer may elect to make or obtain in accordance with the terms of this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date. Seller acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may contact appropriate governmental departments and agencies to determine the status of entitlements, permits, improvements, grandfathered improvements, exemptions and other such matters concerning the Property which are a matter of public record, provided that neither Buyer nor Buyer’s representatives shall attend meetings with a city planning staff without affording Seller the opportunity to have a representative present for such meeting. Further, Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all written communications to governmental agencies with respect to all inquiries made pursuant to this Paragraph 7.2. Nothing herein shall require Buyer to notify Seller or provide Seller with copies of requests for counter checks of public records.
7.3 Review and Approval of Materials. No later than five (5) business days after the Execution Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, or shall make available to Buyer for downloading from a website, any documents (other than the Excluded Materials [as defined below]), in the possession or control of Seller, relating to the physical or environmental condition of the Property, service contracts for the Property, as well as those additional materials set forth on Exhibit F, to the extent in the possession or control of Seller (collectively, the “Materials”), provided that with respect to any Materials pertaining to the environmental condition, geotechnical matters and/or soil conditions at the Property, Seller shall deliver to Buyer or make such Materials available no later than three (3) business days after the Execution Date. Except for the express representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever to Buyer as to the accuracy or completeness of the content of the Materials or any other information delivered to or made available to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and Seller shall not have any liability or responsibility to Buyer with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the Materials or other information or based upon or arising out of any use Buyer may make of the Materials or other information. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Excluded Materials” shall mean any appraisals, internal reports, valuations, other offers or agreements relating to the acquisition or sale of the Property, economic evaluations of the Property, documents pertaining to Seller’s entity, reports regarding the Property prepared by Seller or any affiliate of Seller for the internal use or for the information of the investors in Seller, and any other proprietary information not relating to the physical condition of the Property. Buyer acknowledges that it has no right to review any of the Excluded Materials. For purposes hereof, matters shall be deemed to be within Seller’s “possession” or “control” if the particular item is in the possession of any of Seller’s principals, officers, employees or property manager.
7.4 Association Estoppel Certificate. Buyer shall have received and approved in writing an estoppel certificate (“Association Estoppel Certificate”) prior to the Contingency Date, duly executed by Valencia Commerce Center Association, Inc., a California corporation (the “Association”). The Association Estoppel Certificate shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit G or otherwise in a form reasonably acceptable to Buyer. To the extent the original is received by Seller, Seller shall deliver the original executed Association Estoppel Certificate to Buyer no later than two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, and the original shall not differ in any material fashion from the signed copy previously approved by Buyer, unless Buyer approves such changes in its sole discretion. Seller shall use commercially
8
reasonable efforts to obtain the Association Estoppel Certificate as provided herein, including, without limitation, promptly paying any fees charged by the Association in connection therewith; provided, however, if despite using such commercially reasonable efforts, Seller is unable to obtain and deliver to Buyer the Association Estoppel Certificate in accordance herewith, Seller shall not be in default under this Agreement, and Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, and Escrow Holder shall be authorized and is hereby directed to return the Deposit (less one-half any title and escrow cancellation charges) to Buyer without any further consent or approval from Seller.

7.10 Approval/Disapproval. If, prior to the Contingency Date, Buyer determines that it is dissatisfied, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, with any aspects of the Property and/or its condition or suitability for Buyer’s intended use, or with any of the Materials, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Escrow created pursuant hereto by delivering written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Contingency Date of Buyer’s election to terminate (the “Disapproval Notice”), in which event (i) this Agreement and the Escrow created pursuant hereto shall terminate and be of no further force or effect (except for those obligations which expressly survive any such termination), and (ii) Escrow Holder shall return to Buyer the Deposit and all interest accrued thereon (less Buyer’s share of escrow cancellation charges). Seller acknowledges that if Buyer terminates this Agreement for any reason prior to the Contingency Date, Escrow Holder shall be authorized and is hereby directed to return the Deposit to Buyer without any further consent or approval from Seller. If Buyer fails to deliver the Disapproval Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the Contingency Date, such failure shall constitute Buyer’s election to proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Except as provided in Paragraph 7.1 with respect to certain Title Matters and Monetary Liens, and except as may be otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, Seller shall have no right or obligation to cure any matter disapproved by Buyer.
9

Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall require Seller to bring any suit or other proceeding or to pay any substantial sum, to satisfy any of such conditions. If any of the conditions in this Paragraph 7 is not timely satisfied or waived by Buyer, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Escrow Holder and Seller on or before the applicable date relating to such condition and describing the condition that has not been satisfied or waived, and unless such failure is due to a material default by Seller in which case the provisions of Paragraph 15 of this Agreement shall apply, Buyer shall have the right by such notice to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.

Any judgment or order entered in any final judgment shall contain a specific provision providing for the recovery of all costs and expenses of suit, including actual attorneys’ fees incurred in enforcing, perfecting and executing such judgment. For the purposes of this paragraph, such costs shall include, without limitation, outside attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses incurred in the following: (a) post judgment motions; (b) contempt proceedings; (c) garnishment, levy, and debtor and third party examination; (d) discovery; and (e) bankruptcy litigation.
19. Assignment. Buyer may not assign, transfer or convey its rights or obligations under this Agreement at any time without the prior written consent of Seller, which Seller shall not unreasonably withhold; provided, however, Buyer may assign this Agreement to a Buyer Affiliate (as defined below), and Buyer may assign all or any of the Parcels being purchased pursuant to this Agreement to a Buyer Affiliate or otherwise, without the requirement of obtaining Seller’s prior written consent (but nevertheless requiring at least five (5) days’ prior written notice) and satisfy the requirements set forth below. The term “Buyer Affiliate” shall mean any entity in which Buyer or the principals of Buyer retain a direct or indirect ownership interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no assignment by Buyer (whether to a Buyer Affiliate or otherwise) shall release Buyer from any of its obligations hereunder, and any assignment by Buyer (even to a Buyer Affiliate) shall require the full assumption by the assignee (on a joint and several basis) of all of Buyer’s obligations hereunder, and the assignment and assumption agreement must be delivered to Seller at least five (5) days prior to the Closing.
20. Damage or Destruction, Condemnation, Insurance.
20.1 Condemnation. If at any time prior to the Closing Date any “material” portion of the Property is condemned or taken by eminent domain proceedings by any public authority, then at Buyer’s option, to be exercised within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such taking, this Agreement shall terminate, and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer, and except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. As used in this Paragraph 20.1, the term “material” shall mean (i) a taking which materially and adversely affects the value or operations of the Property and adversely affects the value of the Property by more than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000), or (ii) without regard to the foregoing value threshold, a taking which results in permanent loss of ingress, egress or access to the Property or any parking spaces or areas required to comply with applicable law. Seller shall give Buyer written notice of any taking promptly after Seller obtains knowledge thereof. If less than a material portion of the Property is condemned or taken by eminent domain proceedings or if Buyer does not timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement, the parties shall proceed to the Closing Date without a reduction in the Purchase Price and, upon the Closing, all condemnation proceeds paid or payable to Seller (other than losses pertaining to periods prior to the Closing) shall belong to Buyer and shall be paid over and assigned to Buyer. Seller shall have no obligation to make any repairs to the Property in the event of a condemnation.
23
20.2 Damage and Destruction. If at any time prior to the Closing Date a material portion of the Property is destroyed or damaged as a result of fire or any other casualty, then at Buyer’s option, to be exercised within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of such destruction or damage, this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. If Buyer does not timely notify Seller in writing of its election to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement. For purposes hereof, the term “material” shall be deemed to be (i) a damage or destruction in excess of One Hundred Seventy Five Thousand Dollars ($175,000), or (ii) without regard to the foregoing value threshold, any damage or destruction which results in permanent loss of ingress, egress or access to the Property or any parking spaces or areas required to comply with applicable law. If less than a material portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed or if a material portion is damaged or destroyed and Buyer elects or is deemed to have elected not to terminate this Agreement, the parties shall proceed to the Closing Date without reduction in the Purchase Price (other than Seller’s deductible, excluding any deductibles or self-insured retentions with respect to earthquake damage or other uninsured amounts) and, upon the Closing, all property insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller as a result of such casualty shall belong to Buyer and shall be paid over and assigned to Buyer; provided, however, that if the damage or destruction results from an uninsured loss, then Buyer shall be entitled to credit against the Purchase Price in the full amount of the loss. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the credit to be provided by Seller to Buyer at Closing on account of any uninsured casualty under the preceding sentence exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement in lieu of providing said credit in which event the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. In the event Seller exercises its right to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall have three (3) business days after the delivery of Seller’s termination notice to elect to assume the portion of the uninsured casualty in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) (in which event Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) and otherwise be obligated, subject to the terms of this Paragraph 20.2, to close the purchase of the Property without any further adjustment to the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). Seller shall have no obligation to make any repairs to the Property in the event of a damage or destruction.
21. New Leases and Contracts.
21.1 New Leases. Seller hereby agrees that, after the Execution Date, Seller will not enter into any leases affecting the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent Buyer may grant or withhold in its sole discretion.
21.2 Service Contracts. Except as otherwise provided herein, after the Contingency Date, Seller will not extend, renew, modify or replace any of the service contracts pertaining to the Property (the “Service Contracts”), a list of which will be included in the Materials provided to Buyer, without the prior written consent of Buyer. If Buyer does not disapprove any request of Seller regarding a Service Contract within three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of such written request, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved such request. Effective as of the Closing, Seller shall terminate all Service Contracts other than those Service Contracts, if any, that Buyer has elected to assume by written notice to Seller delivered prior to the Contingency Date (the “Assumed Contracts”).
24
21.3 Operation in the Ordinary Course; Notice of Material Change. Subject to Paragraph 21 above, from the Execution Date until the Close of Escrow, Seller shall (a) operate and manage the Property in the ordinary course and consistent with Seller’s past practices (but Seller shall not be required to make capital improvements); (b) perform when due, and otherwise comply with, all of Seller’s material obligations and duties under the Service Contracts, (c) not transfer or grant, create or consent to the imposition of any new lien or encumbrance upon the Property without the prior written consent of Buyer, and (d) maintain a policy of casualty insurance providing so-called “all-risk” coverage for the full replacement value of the Improvements. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing of any Material Change of which Seller has actual knowledge.
22. Miscellaneous.
22.1 Not an Offer. Seller’s delivery of unsigned copies of this Agreement is solely for the purpose of review by the party to whom delivered, and neither the delivery nor any prior communications between the parties shall in any way imply that Seller or Buyer is under any obligation to enter the transaction which is the subject of this Agreement.
22.2 Computation of Time Periods. If the date upon which the Contingency Date, the Closing Date or any other date or time period provided for in this Agreement is or ends on a Saturday, Sunday or federal, state or legal holiday, then such date shall automatically be extended until 5:00 p.m. Pacific time of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or federal, state or legal holiday. The term “business day” shall mean any day other than Saturday, Sunday or a federal or State holiday.
22.3 Captions; Severability.

22.8 Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except for any choice-of-law principles which provide for the application of the laws of another jurisdiction.

22.9 Fees and Other Expenses. Except as otherwise provided herein, each of the parties hereto shall pay its own fees and expenses in connection with this Agreement.
22.10 Entire Agreement.

22.13 Limitation of Liability. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that neither the trustees, shareholders, members, affiliates, officers, directors, investment managers, employees, partners, agents nor advisors of Seller, assume any personal liability for obligations entered into by or on behalf of Seller. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary (or any rights that Buyer may have at law or in equity), (a) in no event shall Seller have any liability for lost profits, speculative, special, consequential or punitive damages, and (b) in no event will Seller’s liability under or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, any documents executed in connection herewith and/or otherwise in connection with the Property exceed the sum of Five Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($550,000) and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer whatsoever, unless the valid claims for all breaches of Seller collectively aggregate more

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, and except as provided below, Buyer hereby agrees that any action or claim asserted by Buyer against Seller or any of the Released Parties must be filed (if at all) within the Survival Period in a court of competent jurisdiction, and Buyer hereby waives any right to bring any such claim or action thereafter; provided that any claims arising from Seller’s active fraud are not required to be filed during the Survival Period, but shall be governed by the applicable statute of limitations. Buyer’s remedies prior to Closing shall be limited as set forth in Paragraph 15.2. Any and all liability beyond that which may be asserted under this Paragraph 22.13 is expressly waived and released by Buyer and by all persons claiming by, through or under Buyer. The provisions of this Paragraph 22.13 shall survive the Closing.
22.14 Time of the Essence. All times provided for in this Agreement for the performance of any act will be strictly construed, time being of the essence.
22.15 Recording. The parties agree that this Agreement shall not be recorded. If Buyer causes this Agreement or any notice or memorandum thereof to be recorded, this Agreement shall be null and void at the option of Seller.
22.16 Confidentiality. Until the Close of Escrow, Buyer will keep confidential the Purchase Price, the other terms of this Agreement, the Materials and all other information concerning the Property (as disclosed, discovered or determined in connection with this transaction); provided, however, Buyer may disclose such information to (a) those employed by Buyer (subject to informing them of the terms of this Agreement); (b) those who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation of the Property and the negotiation and execution of this Agreement or financing of the purchase of the Property (subject to their agreement to abide by the terms of this paragraph); (c) third parties as required under applicable law; and (d) Buyer’s potential financial partners and lenders (subject to their agreement to abide by the terms of this Paragraph).

The written reports prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of the Natural Hazard Expert’s examination fully and completely discharges Seller from Seller’s disclosure obligations referred to herein, if and to the extent any such obligations exist, and, for the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding non-
27
liability of Seller for errors or omissions not within Seller’s personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert, dealing with matters within the scope of the Natural Hazard Expert’s expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the natural hazards referred to above.
22.18 Section 25359.7 of Health and Safety Code. Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code requires owners of non-residential real property who know, or have reasonable cause to believe, that any release of hazardous substance has come to be located on or beneath the real property to provide written notice of such to a buyer of the real property. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sole inquiry and investigation Seller has provided to Buyer in connection with the environmental condition of the Property is to obtain and/or review those certain environmental assessments and studies of the Property delivered or made available to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, “Seller’s Environmental Reports”). Buyer (a) acknowledges Buyer’s receipt of the foregoing notice given pursuant to Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code; (b) will be, prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, fully aware of the matters described in the Seller’s Environmental Reports; and (c) after receiving advice of Buyer’s legal counsel, waives any and all rights Buyer may have to assert that Seller has not complied with the requirements of Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code. The representations, warranties and agreements set forth herein shall survive the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
22.19 Counterparts. This Agreement and any Amendments to this Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, by PDF, facsimile, or ink-signed, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

To effect this Exchange, the exchanging party may assign its rights in, and delegate its duties under, this Agreement, as well as transfer the Property, to an exchange accommodator. Each party agrees to cooperate with the other in connection with an Exchange, including the execution of documents therefor, provided the following terms and conditions are satisfied:
(a) There shall be no liability whatsoever to the non-exchanging party in connection with an Exchange;
(b) In no way shall the Closing be contingent or otherwise subject to the consummation of an Exchange, and the Escrow shall timely close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding any failure, for any reason, of the parties to the Exchange to effect same;
(c) If, for any reason, the Closing does not occur, the non-exchanging party shall have no responsibility or liability to any third party involved in an Exchange transaction;
(d) The non-exchanging party will not be required to make any representations or warranties nor assume any obligations, nor spend any sum or incur any personal liability whatsoever in connection with an Exchange transaction contemplated hereby; and
28
(e) All representations, warranties, covenants and indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement shall not be affected or limited by a party’s use of an exchange accommodator and shall survive an Exchange.
22.21 Regulation S-X Audits. FOR THE PERIOD OF TIME COMMENCING ON THE DATE OF AGREEMENT AND CONTINUING THROUGH THE FIRST (1ST) ANNIVERSARY OF THE CLOSING DATE, SELLER SHALL, FROM TIME TO TIME (PROVIDED THAT FOLLOWING THE CLOSING DATE, BUYER SHALL ENDEAVOR NOT TO MAKE REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH 22.21 MORE OFTEN THAN ONCE PER CALENDAR QUARTER), UPON REASONABLE ADVANCE NOTICE FROM BUYER (BUT IN NO EVENT LESS THAN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS), PROVIDE (A) BUYER AND ITS REPRESENTATIVES, AGENTS AND EMPLOYEES WITH REASONABLE ACCESS (ELECTRONICALLY VIA DROPBOX OR A SIMILAR DELIVERY METHOD WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE BUYER TO VISIT SELLER’S OFFICES) TO SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED FINANCIAL AND OTHER INFORMATION NOT PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED TO BUYER PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY FOR THE PERIOD OF SELLER’S OWNERSHIP AND OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY (TO THE EXTENT NOT CONSTITUTING EXCLUDED MATERIALS AND IN THE POSSESSION AND CONTROL OF SELLER, COLLECTIVELY, AND FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS PARAGRAPH 22.21, “INFORMATION”), WHICH INFORMATION IS RELEVANT AND REASONABLY NECESSARY, IN THE OPINION OF BUYER’S OUTSIDE, THIRD PARTY ACCOUNTANTS (THE “ACCOUNTANTS”) TO ENABLE BUYER AND ITS ACCOUNTANTS TO PREPARE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ANY OR ALL OF (I) RULE 3-14 OF REGULATION S-X OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION (THE “COMMISSION”), (II) ANY OTHER RULE ISSUED BY THE COMMISSION AND APPLICABLE TO BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES, AND (III) ANY REGISTRATION STATEMENT, REPORT OR DISCLOSURE STATEMENT FILED WITH THE COMMISSION BY, OR ON BEHALF OF BUYER OR ITS AFFILIATES, AND (B) REASONABLE ASSISTANCE TO BUYER AND THE ACCOUNTANTS IN COMPLETING AN AUDIT OF SUCH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH AUDIT AND REVIEW, DELIVER TO BUYER’S AUDITOR A COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE REPRESENTATION LETTER WITH RESPECT TO THE PERIOD OF TIME DURING WHICH SELLER OWNED THE PROPERTY, WHICH REPRESENTATION LETTER MAY BE REASONABLY REQUIRED TO ASSIST THE ACCOUNTANTS IN RENDERING AN OPINION ON SUCH FINANCIAL STATEMENTS IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH CLAUSES (A)(I), (II) AND (III) ABOVE.

THE OBLIGATIONS OF SELLER UNDER THIS PARAGRAPH 22.21 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING FOR A PERIOD OF ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CLOSING DATE.

TRANSFEROR’S CERTIFICATION OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS
To inform , a (“Transferee”), that Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee of a U.S. real property interest must withhold tax if the transferor is a foreign person.

1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust, foreign estate or foreign person (as those terms are defined in the Code and the Income Tax Regulations promulgated thereunder); and
2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in §1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii); and
3. Transferor’s U.S. employer or tax (social security) identification number is ; and
4. The office address of Transferor is: .
Transferor understands that this Certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by Transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
