Buyer acknowledges that the materials relating to the Property to be furnished by Seller to Buyer contain confidential and proprietary information. Buyer agrees to keep all such information confidential and not to disclose any such information to any third party except to the extent necessary to carry out the responsibilities of Buyer pursuant to this section 1.2 or to obtain financing for the Property (including Buyer’s attorneys, accountants and employees; provided that Buyer shall be obligated to ensure such information remains confidential). If Buyer exercises the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, Buyer shall, within five (5) days after the termination date, return to Seller all copies of all materials relating to the Property theretofore furnished by Seller. No representation or warranty in respect of any documents, reports, studies, information or other materials (including the accuracy or completeness thereof) is or shall be deemed to be made or provided by Seller relating thereto or to the Property or otherwise, and Buyer hereby acknowledges that no representations or warranties, either express or implied, were made by Seller (other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement or the documents and instruments executed by Seller in connection with this Agreement) with respect to any of the foregoing. To the extent any person or entity, other than Seller as expressly set forth herein, including any surveyors, appraisers, title agents, tenants, escrow agent, attorneys, engineering consultants or environmental consultants, made any representations or warranties (other than as expressly set forth in section 5.1) or any other statements (verbal or written) to Buyer, or provided any documents, reports, studies, information or other materials, Buyer acknowledges it shall have no claim or right of action against Seller arising therefrom, nor any right to rescind or revoke this Agreement on account thereof.

The foregoing indemnity shall survive the Closing, or in the event that the Closing does not occur, the termination of this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated for any reason other than Seller’s default and Seller,
- 3 -
at Seller’s option, requests any reports relating to the Property provided to Buyer by third parties (“Buyer Reports”), Buyer shall deliver such Buyer Reports to Seller without representation or warranty of any kind, express or implied, provided that Seller reimburses Buyer for the reasonable, out-of-pocket, third-party costs thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall not be required to provide, copy or make available to Seller any internal memoranda pertaining to valuation or financial issues or analysis, information which is subject of a confidentiality agreement between Buyer and a third party, appraisals and valuation reports and similar information or information covered by attorney-client privilege.
(e) Intentionally Omitted.
(f) Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Approval Period, may object to any title exception in the Title Commitment or any matter shown on the Survey. Buyer, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is three (3) business days after the discovery thereof, may object to any title exception in any update to the Title Commitment or any matter shown on any update to the Survey or new survey received after the expiration of the Approval Period. Buyer shall be deemed to have approved title to the Property as shown in the Title Commitment, as updated and the Survey, or any updates or new surveys, unless Buyer objects to any title exception or survey matter in accordance with this section 1.2. If Buyer makes any such objection, Seller may, by giving notice to Buyer on or before the date that is three (3) business days after Buyer’s objection notice, elect either to remove such objections or not to remove such objections. In the event that Seller fails to notify Buyer of its election within such three (3) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to remove any such objection. If Seller elects to remove any such objection, Seller shall remove the title exception or survey matter in question on or before the Closing Date (defined below). If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to remove any such objection, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller on or before the date that is three (3) business days after Seller’s election not to cure (or deemed election not to cure), either to terminate this Agreement (in which case the Deposit (as defined below) shall be returned to Buyer) or to withdraw such objection and accept title to the Property subject to the title exception or survey matter in question. If Buyer does not exercise the right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this section 1.2, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved title to the Property subject to the title exception or survey matter in question and to have withdrawn such objection. If necessary as a result of Buyer’s objection to title matters not shown on the updates to the Title Commitment or Survey until after the expiration of the Approval Period, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement has expired or by Seller for up to ten (10) business days as Seller may deem necessary to remove such objection.
(g) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that any and all inspections of the Property shall be conducted in a manner not unreasonably disruptive to Seller, or any tenants or occupants of the Property, or to the operation of the Property. Seller shall make Seller’s representatives, contractors, building engineers, leasing agents and property managers (and their employees) available to Buyer at times and frequencies reasonably sufficient to allow Buyer to conduct its due diligence prior to the end of the Approval Period. Seller shall have the right to have a representative present during any due diligence investigations conducted by Buyer at the Property, including any tenant interviews. In the event Buyer or any of Buyer’s representatives desire to conduct any physically intrusive due diligence, such as sampling of soils, inspection of
- 4 -
building materials, roof inspections, drilling xxxxx or the like, Buyer shall identify in writing exactly what procedures such party desires to perform and the identity of the contractor or consultant which will perform such work and request Seller’s express prior written consent thereto, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion. Upon receipt of Seller’s written consent, Buyer and/or Buyer’s representatives, as applicable, shall perform any and all due diligence strictly in compliance with the agreed upon procedures and with any and all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, permits and licenses applicable to the Property.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not have the right to enforce any claim, nor shall Seller be liable in any way to Buyer, for a breach of a representation or warranty of Seller if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter of which Buyer had knowledge prior to the Closing. Furthermore, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty made by Seller under section 5.1 hereof or in Seller’s Closing Certificate unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach has been given by Buyer to Seller and Buyer shall have commenced an action against Seller with respect to such breach prior to the date that is six (6) months after the expiration of the Survival Period.

6.2 Buyer. Buyer covenants and agrees with Seller as follows:
(a) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be suffered or incurred by Seller if any representation or warranty made by Buyer in section 5.2 hereof or in Buyer’s Closing Certificate was untrue or incorrect in any material respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Buyer of any such representation or warranty.

If any condition set forth in this section 7.2 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate, but without releasing Seller from liability if Seller defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller or if Seller breaches any such representation or warranty made by Seller before such termination.

CERTIFICATE OF NON-FOREIGN STATUS
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. For U.S. tax purposes (including section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property interest by CALIFORNIA MICRO DEVICES CORP., a California corporation (“Seller”), the undersigned hereby certifies the following on behalf of Seller:
1. Seller is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations);
2. Seller is not a disregarded entity as defined in Income Tax Regulations section 1.1445-2(b)(2)(iii).
3. Seller’s U.S. employer identification number is ; and
4. Seller’s office address is 000 Xxxxx XxXxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx #000, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx 00000-0000..
Seller understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalties of perjury I declare that I have examined this certification and to the best of my knowledge and belief it is true, correct and complete, and I further declare that I have authority to sign this document on behalf of Seller.
