18. Broker. Seller represents and warrants to Buyers, and Buyers (and their designees) represent and warrant to Seller, that no broker or finder has been engaged by it, respectively, in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, or to its knowledge is in any way connected with such transaction. In the event of any such claims for additional brokers’ or finders’ fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement, then Buyers (and their designees) shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Seller from and against such claims if they shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement made by any Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Buyers from and against such claims if they shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement made by Seller.
19. Required Actions of Buyers and Seller.

20. Legal and Equitable Enforcement of this Agreement.
(a) Default by Seller. In the event the Close of Escrow and the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein do not occur by reason of any default by Seller that is not cured after notice and expiration of a reasonable cure period (not to exceed three (3) days), Buyers shall be entitled to all of their out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transaction and shall have the right to pursue any other remedy available to Buyers at law or in equity, including the specific performance of this Agreement provided Buyers (and their designees) tender the cash to close payment in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Default by Buyers. In the event the Close of Escrow and the consummation of the transaction contemplated herein do not occur by reason of any material default by Buyers after notice and expiration of cure periods, Seller shall be entitled to all of its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the transaction and shall have the right to pursue any other remedy available to Seller at law or in equity, including the specific performance of this Agreement.
(c) Survival of Representations, Warranties, Covenants and Agreements.
(i) The representations and warranties contained in this Agreement shall survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Close of Escrow for a period of one (1) year thereafter; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights of Buyers and/or their respective designees hereunder to asset any Claims with respect to and/or arising out of Seller’s intentional fraud or willful misrepresentation or any breach of Section 13(f)(ii) shall survive until the expiration of the longest applicable statute of limitations.
- 41 -
(ii) The covenants and other agreements and obligations contained in this Agreement shall survive the Closing for the applicable statute of limitations, and shall not merge into the Grant Deed or any conveyance document.
(d) Deductible. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 20(f) below, Buyers shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to such Section 20(f) until and to the extent the total, cumulative amount of Losses for which indemnification is sought thereunder has exceeded One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (the “Deductible”); provided, however, that the immediately preceding provision shall not apply to Losses (i) directly or indirectly sustained and/or incurred arising out of, in connection with and/or relating to any and/or all of the following (A) the intentional fraud or willful misrepresentation of Seller, and/or (B) any of the post-closing covenants of Seller hereunder or in any other document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto, including under Section 4 or 16 hereof, or (ii) that are covered by Seller’s insurance policies that were in effect prior to the Closing Date.
(e) Indemnification by Buyers. Commencing on the Closing Date Buyers shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller and its partners and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders and agents (“Seller Indemnified Parties”) against and in respect of all damages, claims, liabilities, Taxes, penalties, fines, fees, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any claims covered hereby) (collectively, “Losses”) directly or indirectly sustained and/or incurred arising out of, in connection with and/or relating to any and/or all of the following:
(i) any breaches of Buyers’ representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any other document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto;

(i) any breaches of Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement or any other document or instrument executed and delivered pursuant hereto;

- 42 -
(g) Treatment of Indemnification Payments. Any payments pursuant to this Section 20 shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for all Tax purposes.
(h) Method of Asserting Claims. In the event that any written claim or demand for which Seller or Buyer, as the case may be (an “Indemnifying Party”), may be liable to any Indemnified Party hereunder is asserted against or sought to be collected from any Indemnified Party by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) days following such Indemnified Party’s receipt of such claim or demand, notify in writing the Indemnifying Party of such claim or demand and the amount or the estimated amount thereof to the extent then feasible (which estimate shall not be conclusive of the final amount of such claim or demand) (the “Claim Notice”). The Indemnifying Party shall (i) have no liability with respect to any expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party prior to the time the Claim Notice is delivered to the Indemnifying Party and such expenses shall be deemed not to be Losses of the Indemnified Party and (ii) be relieved of its obligations to indemnify the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim or demand if the Indemnified Party fails to timely deliver the Claim Notice and the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced thereby; provided, however, that the preceding portion of this sentence shall not apply to the extent that the Indemnifying Party has knowledge of such Claim prior to the Indemnified Party’s delivery of the Claim Notice. The Indemnifying Party shall have ten (10) days after the personal delivery or mailing of the Claim Notice, whichever is later (the “Notice Period”), to notify the Indemnified Party whether or not it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand and shall during the Notice Period and thereafter be provided by the Indemnified Party with such information relating to the claim or demand as the Indemnifying Party shall request. All costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or demand shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. Except as hereinafter provided, in the event that the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party within the Notice Period that it desires to defend the Indemnified Party against such claim or demand, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense. If the Indemnifying Party so elects to assume the defense of such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party. If any Indemnified Party desires to participate in, but not control, any such defense it may do so at its sole cost and expense. The Indemnified Party shall not settle, compromise or discharge a claim or demand for which it is indemnified by an Indemnifying Party or admit to any liability with respect to such claim or demand without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), settle, compromise or offer to settle or compromise any such claim or demand on a basis which would result in the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree which would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnified Party. To the extent the Indemnifying Party shall direct, control or participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand, the Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party and its counsel access to all relevant business records and other documents, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to assist, and to cause the employees and counsel of the Indemnified Party to assist, in defense of such claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend the Indemnified Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right and the obligation to vigorously defend the claim or demand by appropriate proceedings and shall have the sole power to direct and control such defense. In any event, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in the defense or settlement of any third party claim or demand for which the Indemnifying Party may be liable hereunder at its own expense.
21. Assignment. Seller shall not assign, transfer or convey Seller’s rights and obligations under this Agreement or in the Property without the prior written consent of Buyers. Seller expressly agrees, however, that each of the Buyers shall have the right to assign such Buyer’s rights and obligations under
- 43 -
this Agreement in whole or in part, by giving prior written notice to Seller, to one or more Person(s) or entities who are Affiliates, so long as such assignee expressly assumes the obligations of Buyer hereunder. Any permitted assignee shall succeed to all the rights and remedies hereunder, including, but not limited to, the specific performance of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment shall relieve the assigning party from its liability under this Agreement. Moreover, to the extent that any Property (and/or any portion thereof) or any Affiliated Entity Property is transferred, assigned and/or conveyed to one or more of Buyers’ respective designees as provided in Section 1 hereof, Buyers shall, without Seller’s consent, continue to be able to directly enforce its rights under this Agreement with respect to such Property (or portion) and/or assign its rights and delegate its obligations hereunder with respect to such Property (or portion) to such designee(s); provided, however, no duplicate payments shall be made or required to be made with respect to any one particular Claim solely as a result of such Claim being brought by more than one Buyer and/or designee and any such assignee shall not have the right to assert a Claim that is inconsistent with any Claim asserted by Buyer.
22. Miscellaneous.
(a) Partial Invalidity. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such term or provision to Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
(b) Waivers. No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision herein contained. 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.
(c) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
(d) Professional Fees. In the event of the bringing of any action or suit by a party hereto against another party hereunder by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements, representations, warranties or provisions on the part of the other party arising out of this Agreement, or any other dispute between the parties concerning this Agreement or any of the Property, then in that event the prevailing party in such action or dispute, whether by final judgment, or out of court settlement shall be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of the action or suit, including reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees, accounting and engineering fees, and any other professional fees resulting therefrom arising before or at trial or with respect to appellate proceedings. This Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement prior to the Close of Escrow and shall also survive the recordation of the Grant Deed and the Close of Escrow and shall not be deemed merged into the Grant Deed or any conveyance document upon its recordation.
(e) Entire Agreement. This Agreement (including all Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto) is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, supplemented or terminated, nor may any obligations hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing or as otherwise expressly permitted herein. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any Person other than the parties hereto.
- 44 -
(f) Time of Essence. Seller and Buyers hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof and that failure to timely perform any of the terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall constitute a material breach of and default under this Agreement by the party so failing to perform.
(g) Construction. Headings at the beginning of each paragraph and subparagraph are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of the Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice versa. This Agreement shall not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to paragraphs and subparagraphs are to this Agreement. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference. In the event the date on which Buyers or Seller are required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a Business Day, the action shall be taken on the next succeeding Business Day.
(h) Governing Law. The parties hereto expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in accordance with the laws of California.
(i) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which, together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(j) 1031 Exchange. Seller acknowledges that Buyers are structuring a portion of this transaction as part of a so-called like kind exchange (the “Exchange”) pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyers in good faith to effectuate the Exchange at Buyers’ sole cost and expense; provided any such Exchange (i) shall not delay the Closing Date; (ii) require Seller to take title to any other property or (iii) impose any additional cost or liability on Seller. Buyer shall indemnify Seller and hold Seller, the Affiliated Entities, the Property and the Affiliated Entity Property harmless from any additional costs associated with effectuating such Exchange.
(k) Public Disclosure. The parties to this Agreement hereby agree with the other party hereto that, except as may be required to comply with the requirements of applicable law or the rules and regulations of any national securities exchange upon which the securities of one of the parties or its Affiliates is listed, as reasonably determined by such party, or as otherwise provided herein, no press release or similar public announcement or communication will be made or caused to be made concerning the execution or performance of this Agreement unless specifically approved in advance by all parties hereto.
