4. Title Matters; Due Diligence Review; Estoppel Certificates; Conditions Precedent.
4.1 Title Matters.
4.1.1 Title to the Project Assets.
(a) As a condition to the Closing, First American Title Insurance Company (in its capacity as title insurer, the “Title Company”) shall have committed to insure Purchaser as the fee owner of the Applicable Real Property in the allocated amount of the Purchase Price to the Applicable Real Property associated with each Project Asset by issuance of a CLTA Form 2006 extended coverage owner’s title insurance policy (the “Owner’s Policy”), with an effective date not earlier than the Closing Date, and in the standard form issued by the Title Company in the State of California, subject only to the “Permitted Exceptions” (as hereinafter defined). It is understood that Purchaser may request a number of endorsements to the Owner’s Policies. Purchaser shall satisfy itself prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company will be willing to issue such endorsements at Closing, however, the issuance of such endorsements shall not be a condition to Closing for Purchaser’s benefit. Sellers shall execute the Title Company’s so-called customary “Owner’s Affidavit” in connection with the issuance of the Owner’s Policies and Purchaser’s requested endorsements.
(b) With respect to each Project Asset, the Applicable Seller has delivered to Purchaser (i) a copy of a preliminary title report for an owner’s fee title
-4-
insurance policy or policies with respect to the Applicable Real Property associated therewith, together with legible copies of each of the title exceptions noted therein (collectively, the “Title Commitments”) from the Title Company and (ii) a survey of the Applicable Real Property associated therewith (collectively, the “Surveys”). If any exceptions(s) to title to the Applicable Real Property should appear in the Title Commitments or the Surveys other than the “Permitted Exceptions” (as hereinafter defined) (such exception(s) being herein called, collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”), subject to which Purchaser is unwilling to accept title, and Purchaser shall provide Sellers with written notice (the “Title Objection Notice”) thereof within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Title Commitments and the Surveys (or within fifteen (15) days after the mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, whichever is later), Sellers, in their sole and absolute discretion, may undertake to eliminate the same subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.1. Purchaser waives any right Purchaser may have to advance, as objections to title or as grounds for Purchaser’s refusal to close this transaction, any Unpermitted Exception of which Purchaser does not notify Sellers within such fifteen (15) day period unless (i) such Unpermitted Exception was first raised by the Title Company subsequent to the date of the applicable Title Commitment, and (ii) Purchaser shall notify Sellers of its objection to the same within five (5) days after the Title Company shall notify Purchaser of such Unpermitted Exception (failure to so notify Sellers shall be deemed to be a waiver by Purchaser of its right to raise such Unpermitted Exception as an objection to title or as a ground for Purchaser’s refusal to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Sellers, in their sole discretion, shall have the right, upon written notice to Purchaser at least two (2) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, to adjourn the Closing for up to thirty (30) days to cure any Unpermitted Exception, provided that Sellers shall notify Purchaser, in writing, within ten (10) days after receipt by Sellers of the Title Objection Notice, whether or not it will endeavor to eliminate any Unpermitted Exceptions (“Sellers Title Response”) and if Sellers fail to timely deliver Sellers Title Response, then Sellers shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any of the Unpermitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth herein, Sellers shall not under any circumstance be required or obligated to cause the cure or removal of any Unpermitted Exception including to bring any action or proceeding, to make any payments or otherwise to incur any expense in order to eliminate any Unpermitted Exception or to arrange for title insurance insuring against enforcement of such Unpermitted Exception against, or collection of the same out of, the Project Asset, notwithstanding that Sellers may have attempted to do so, or may have adjourned the Scheduled Closing Date for such purpose; provided, however, Sellers shall satisfy any mortgage or deed of trust or other monetary liens not created or suffered by Buyer or any “Purchaser Representative” (as hereinafter defined) that encumber the Applicable Real Property that can be satisfied with the payment of money (such liens, “Monetary Liens”) and if any such Monetary Liens are not so satisfied by Sellers, they shall be paid at the Closing out of the proceeds otherwise payable to Sellers.
(c) If Sellers are unable, elect not or are deemed to elect not to eliminate all Unpermitted Exceptions in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.1 .1, or to arrange for affirmative title insurance or special endorsements insuring against enforcement of such Unpermitted Exceptions against, or collection of the same out of, the Project Asset (without special premium to Purchaser) (which affirmative title insurance or special endorsements shall be subject to Purchaser’s reasonable approval), and to convey title to the Applicable Real Property in accordance with the terms hereof on or before the Closing Date (whether or not the Closing is
-5-
adjourned as provided in Section 4.1.1(b)), Sellers shall notify Purchaser that they are electing not to remove the same in Sellers’ Title Response, in which event Purchaser shall have the right, as its sole remedy for such election of Sellers, by delivery of written notice to Sellers within three (3) Business Days following receipt of notice from Sellers of its election not to remove such Unpermitted Exceptions, to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Sellers (in which event Escrowee shall, provided that Purchaser is not otherwise in default of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement, return the Initial Deposit, and the Additional Deposit, to the extent deposited with Escrowee, to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except for the Surviving Obligations), or (ii) accept title to the Applicable Real Property subject to such Unpermitted Exception(s) without a reduction in, abatement of, or credit against, the Purchase Price. The failure of Purchaser to deliver timely any written notice of election under this Section 4.1.1(c) shall be conclusively deemed to be an election under clause (ii) above.
(d) If, on the Closing Date, there are any liens or encumbrances that Sellers are obligated to discharge under this Agreement, then Sellers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to either (i) arrange, at their cost and expense, for affirmative title insurance or special endorsements insuring against enforcement of such liens or encumbrances against, or collection of the same out of, the Project Assets, without special premium to Purchaser, provided that such affirmative title insurance or special endorsements are reasonably approved by Purchaser, or (ii) use any portion of the Purchase Price to pay and discharge the same, either by way of payment or by alternative manner reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company and Purchaser, and the same shall not be deemed to be Unpermitted Exceptions.
4.1.2 Permitted Exceptions to Title. The Applicable Real Property shall be sold and conveyed subject to the following exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”):
(a) any state of facts that an accurate survey may show;
(b) all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States, the State of California, or any agency, department, commission, bureau or instrumentality of any of the foregoing having jurisdiction over the Applicable Real Property (each, a “Governmental Authority”), as the same may now exist or may be hereafter modified, supplemented or promulgated;
(c) real estate taxes not yet due and payable;
(d) any exceptions that Purchaser shall have agreed or be deemed to have agreed to waive as an Unpermitted Exception;
(e) subject to Section 7.1.1(k), all violations of laws, ordinances, orders, requirements or regulations of any Governmental Authority applicable to the Applicable Real Property and existing on the Closing Date, whether or not noted in the records of or issued by any Governmental Authority;
-6-
(f) all utility easements of record which do not interfere with the present use of the Applicable Real Property and to which Purchaser has not objected as provided in Section 4.1.1(b) above; and
(g) the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for the Pinole Point Business Park – Phases I and II, to be recorded against the Pinole Point Real Property in substantially the form provided to Purchaser as part of its due diligence review.
4.2 Due Diligence Reviews. Except for title and survey matters (which shall be governed by the provisions of Section 4.1 above), Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to perform and complete all of Purchaser’s due diligence examinations, reviews and inspections of all matters pertaining to the purchase of the Project Assets, including the Leases and the Contracts, and all physical, environmental and compliance matters and conditions respecting the Project Assets (collectively, the “Investigations”), which Investigations shall at all times be subject to Purchaser’s compliance with the provisions of this Section 4.2. Prior to the execution of this Agreement, Sellers have provided Purchaser with access to its files at the property management offices of the Project Assets and have provided Purchaser or the Purchaser Representatives with the reports and documents specifically described on Schedule 4.2 attached hereto.

Any entry upon the Project Assets and all Investigations shall be done in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, shall be made or performed during normal business hours and at the sole risk and expense of Purchaser, and shall not unreasonably interfere with the activities on or about the Project Assets, the tenants and their employees and invitees.
In no event shall Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, without the prior written consent of Sellers: (x) make any intrusive physical or air testing (environmental, structural or otherwise) at the Project Assets (such as soil borings, indoor air samples, water samplings or the like) and/or (y) contact any tenant of the Project Assets, except for tenant interviews; provided, however, that Purchaser shall notify Sellers of those tenants which Purchaser desires to interview, Sellers or their agent(s) shall schedule such tenant interviews, and
-7-
Sellers or their agent(s) shall have the right to be present at the tenant interview (Purchaser acknowledges that Purchaser shall have no right to directly notify any tenant of an interview request, and that such interview requests shall be directed to Sellers, who shall, or shall direct its agent(s) to, schedule such tenant interviews).
Without limitation on the foregoing, in connection with any testing or Investigations permitted hereunder or authorized by Sellers, Purchaser shall:
(a) promptly repair any damage to the Project Assets resulting from any such Investigations and replace, refill and regrade any holes made in, or excavations of, any portion of the Project Assets used for such Investigations so that the Project Assets shall be in substantially the same condition that it existed in prior to such Investigations; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no liability for and no obligation to repair any damages to the extent arising from or related to (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Sellers or any tenant occupying space at the Project Assets, (ii) any diminution in value in the Project Assets arising from, or related to, matters discovered by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives during the Investigations (except to the extent Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives exacerbated such matters), (iii) any latent defects in the Project Assets discovered by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives, and (iv) any “Hazardous Materials” (as hereinafter defined) or regulated substances which are discovered (but not deposited or spread) in, on, under or about the Project Assets by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives (the “Purchaser Liability Exceptions”).

All Tenant Estoppel Certificates shall be dated no more than thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers may, in compliance with their obligations hereunder, deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate in any form which does not materially vary from the representations made in the form of Tenant Estoppel Certificate in Exhibit B-6 (as modified to make the statement contained therein factually correct). If any Tenant Estoppel Certificate discloses matters which (i) are materially adverse to the purchase of the Project Assets or (ii) are materially inconsistent with the Leases delivered to, or approved by, Purchaser, and such matters have not been disclosed to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and, in each case, are not cured or satisfied by Sellers prior to the Closing (which cure or satisfaction shall be acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion), then such Tenant Estoppel Certificate shall not count towards the Estoppel Threshold. Prior to delivering the Tenant Estoppel Certificates to the tenants for execution, Sellers shall prepare and deliver the same to Purchaser for Purchaser’s reasonable approval. If Purchaser fails to notify Sellers in writing of Purchaser’s approval or reasonable disapproval (with detailed proposed revisions that will be acceptable to Purchaser) of any Tenant Estoppel Certificate submitted by the Applicable Seller within three (3) Business Days after Purchaser’s receipt thereof, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the applicable Tenant Estoppel Certificates for submittal to the applicable tenant. Once a Tenant Estoppel Certificate has been executed by any tenant, Sellers shall submit such Tenant Estoppel Certificate to Purchaser for Purchaser’s approval. Tenant Estoppel Certificates received by Purchaser shall be deemed acceptable unless Purchaser objects to such Tenant Estoppel Certificate not later than three (3) Business Days following actual receipt. The failure of Sellers to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold and/or to deliver the Required Estoppels shall not be a breach or default by Sellers under this Agreement, and shall only be a failure of a condition to closing for Purchaser’s benefit, in which event Purchaser’s sole recourse hereunder in the event of any such failure shall be, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, to either (i) waive some or all of the requirements regarding Tenant Estoppel Certificates and accept the Tenant Estoppel Certificates that have been delivered and proceed to the Closing on the Scheduled Closing Date, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Sellers (in which event Escrowee shall return the Initial Deposit, and the Additional Deposit, to the extent deposited with Escrowee, to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except for the Surviving Obligations). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if Sellers are unable to obtain a Tenant Estoppel Certificate from any particular tenant under any Lease other than a Major Tenant, then
-12-
the Applicable Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to deliver to Purchaser on the Closing Date a certificate (a “Seller’s Estoppel Certificate”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, executed by the Applicable Seller, and in such event, the Applicable Seller shall be deemed to have delivered a Tenant Estoppel Certificate with respect to such tenant for purposes of satisfying the condition under this Section 4.3. Sellers shall not have the right to deliver a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate in lieu of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate for any Major Tenant. The Applicable Seller shall be released from any liability with respect to such Seller’s Estoppel Certificate upon the sooner to occur of (i) nine (9) months following the Closing Date and (ii) the date of delivery to Purchaser of a Tenant Estoppel Certificate executed by the tenant for which the Applicable Seller has delivered such Seller’s Estoppel Certificate. Promptly following Purchaser’s request, Sellers shall request Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment Agreements (“SNDA5”) in a form provided by Purchaser from each of the Tenants occupying space at the Project Assets. Sellers shall have no other obligations with respect to the SNDAs; and the receipt of SNDAs shall not be a condition to Closing for Purchaser’s benefit under this Agreement.
4.3.2 Closing Date Extension. Sellers, in their sole discretion, shall have the right, upon written notice to Purchaser at least two (2) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, to adjourn the Scheduled Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, to deliver the Required Estoppels and/or to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate instead of a Seller’s Estoppel Certificate for any particular tenants.
4.4 Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Purchaser. The obligation of Purchaser to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Sellers of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Sellers prior to or on the Closing Date and the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Purchaser specifically enumerated in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole discretion. If any of the representations and warranties of Seller are not true and correct in all material respects at the Closing due to a change in the facts or circumstances which do not otherwise constitute a default of Sellers hereunder, the failure of such condition shall, subject to the terms of Section 7.2.3(b), constitute a failure of a condition to Closing and shall not constitute a default by Sellers hereunder, and Purchaser’s sole remedy in connection therewith shall be to terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Sellers (in which event Escrowee shall return the Deposit to Purchaser and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except for the Surviving Obligations).
4.5 Conditions Precedent to Obligations of Sellers. The obligation of Sellers to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be subject to the performance and observance, in all material respects, by Purchaser of all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed or observed by Purchaser prior to or on the Closing Date (provided that Purchaser shall have delivered the full amount of the Closing Payment) and the fulfillment on or before the Closing Date of all other conditions precedent to Closing benefiting Sellers specifically set forth in this Agreement, any or all of which may be waived by Sellers in their sole discretion.
-13-
4.6 Termination Right. In any instance where Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement, such right may only be exercised with respect to all of the Project Assets and not with respect to any individual Project Asset, and, accordingly, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Purchaser shall have no right hereunder to elect to terminate this Agreement as to less than all of the Project Assets and any exercise by Purchaser of such a termination right shall in all cases be (or shall be deemed to be) with respect to all of the Project Assets.
5. Closing. The closing (the “Closing”) of the sale and purchase contemplated herein shall occur at 1:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on or before the Scheduled Closing Date, as the same may be extended in accordance with this Agreement, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE with respect to Purchaser’s obligation to close on such date, at the offices of Escrowee through an escrow and pursuant to escrow instructions consistent with the terms of this Agreement and otherwise mutually satisfactory to Sellers and Purchaser (the date on which the Closing shall occur being herein referred to as the “Closing Date”). The Closing shall constitute approval by each party of all matters to which such party has a right of approval and a waiver of all conditions precedent.
5.1 Seller Deliveries. At the Closing, Sellers shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrowee or to Purchaser, unless otherwise noted to be delivered by Sellers on or prior to Closing, the following items for each Project Asset executed and acknowledged by the Applicable Seller or such other party, as appropriate:
(a) an original duly executed and acknowledged deed (the “Deed”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D;

-14-
(h) Title Company’s so-called customary “Owner’s Affidavit” and such further instruments as may be reasonably required by Purchaser or the Title Company in order to issue the Owner’s Policy as described in Section 4.1, including as may be required by the Title Company in order to delete all standard exceptions to the Owner’s Policy, including, without limitation, the exceptions related to the parties in possession and mechanic’s liens;
(i) notices to each of the tenants under the Leases (“Tenant Notices”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H, advising such tenants of the sale of the Project Asset to Purchaser and directing them to make all payments to Purchaser or its designee, which Tenant Notices Purchaser shall at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, mail by certified mail return receipt requested or nationally recognized overnight carrier to each applicable tenant;
(j) a duly executed closing settlement sheet to reflect the credits, prorations and adjustments contemplated by or specifically provided for in this Agreement; and
(k) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company respecting the due organization of Sellers and the due authorization and execution by Sellers of this Agreement and the documents required to be delivered hereunder.
5.2 Purchaser Deliveries. At the Closing, Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrowee the following items executed and acknowledged by Purchaser, as appropriate:
(a) payment of the Closing Payment to be made in accordance with Section 3;
(b) the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts;

(f) evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company respecting the due organization of Purchaser and the due authorization and execution by Purchaser of this Agreement and the documents required to be delivered hereunder.
5.3 Closing Costs. Sellers shall pay (a) all state and county documentary, stamp, use, transfer or similar taxes, and fifty percent (50%) of all city transfer taxes, payable in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, (b) the title insurance premium for a CLTA extended coverage policy with coverage in the amount of the Purchase Price, (c) the premium for any title insurance endorsements obtained by Sellers to cure any Purchaser Title Objections, and
-15-
(d) fifty percent (5 0%) of the costs of Escrowee. Purchaser shall pay (a) the amount by which the title insurance premium for the Owner’s Policy and all endorsements exceeds the cost of CLTA extended coverage (excluding any endorsements obtained by Sellers to cure any Purchaser Title Objections), (b) all recording charges payable in connection with the recording of the Deeds, (c) fifty percent (5 0%) of the costs of Escrowee, (d) fifty percent (5 0%) of all city transfer taxes payable in connection with the transaction contemplated herein, and (e) all fees, costs or expenses in connection with Purchaser’s due diligence reviews hereunder. Any other closing costs shall be allocated in accordance with local custom. Except as expressly provided in the indemnities and other remedies set forth in this Agreement, Sellers and Purchaser shall pay their respective legal, consulting and other professional fees and expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and their respective shares of prorations as hereinafter provided. The provisions of this Section 5.3 shall survive the Closing or a termination of this Agreement.
5.4 Prorations.
5.4.1 The following provisions shall govern the adjustments and prorations that shall be made at Closing and the allocation of income and expenses from each Project Asset between the Applicable Seller and Purchaser. The prorations set forth in this Section 5.4 shall be on a Project Asset-by-Project Asset basis between the Applicable Seller and Purchaser and not among, or between, all Project Assets. Each Seller shall prepare a proration schedule and provide such schedule to Purchaser for review and approval at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing. Except as expressly provided in this Section 5.4.1, all items of operating revenue and operating expenses of each Project Asset, with respect to the period prior to 12:00 a.m. local time (the “Cut-off Time”) at each Project Asset on the Closing Date, shall be for the account of the Applicable Seller and all items of operating revenue and operating expenses of each Project Asset with respect to the period from and after the Cut-off Time, shall be for the account of Purchaser. Without limitation on the foregoing the following shall be prorated between Purchaser and the Applicable Seller as of the Cut-off Time:
(a) All non-delinquent real estate taxes, water charges, sewer rents, vault charges and assessments on the Project Asset on the basis of the fiscal year for which assessed. In no event shall the Applicable Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in the taxes on the Project Asset resulting from the sale of the Project Asset or from any improvements made or leases entered into on or after the Closing Date. If any assessments on the Project Asset are payable in installments, then the installment for the current period shall be prorated (with Purchaser assuming the obligation to pay any installments due after the Closing Date).
(b) Subject to this Section 5.4.1(b), all fixed rent and regularly scheduled items of additional rent under the Leases, and other tenant charges if, as and when received as of the Cut Off Time. Sellers shall deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to all prepaid rentals for periods after the Closing Date and all refundable cash security deposits (to the extent the foregoing were made by tenants under the Leases and are not applied or forfeited prior to the Closing Date), including interest on the deposits if required by law or the applicable Lease, to Purchaser on the Closing Date. Sellers shall also deliver or provide a credit in an amount equal to any amounts owed by Sellers to any tenant pursuant to Leases entered into prior
-16-
to the date hereof for work which occurred prior to the Closing. Rents which are delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. Purchaser shall include such delinquencies in accordance with its normal billing procedures and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the collection thereof in good faith after the Closing Date for a period of six months following the Closing Date (but Purchaser shall not be required to litigate or declare a default in any Lease). To the extent Purchaser receives rents or other amounts from tenants under the Leases on or after the Closing Date, such payments shall be applied first toward the rents and other amounts that shall then be due and payable to Purchaser, second to the month in which the Closing occurs, and third to any delinquent rents owed to Sellers, with Sellers’ share thereof being held by Purchaser in trust for Sellers and promptly delivered to Sellers by Purchaser. Purchaser shall be entitled to deduct its reasonable, third party out-of-pocket costs of collection from any amounts owed to Sellers. During the six month period following Closing, Purchaser may not waive any delinquent rents owed to Sellers nor modify a Lease so as to reduce or otherwise affect amounts owed to Sellers thereunder for any period in which Sellers are entitled to receive a share of charges or amounts without first obtaining Sellers’ written consent. Sellers reserve the right to pursue any remedy against any tenant owing delinquent rents and any other amounts owed to Sellers (but shall not be entitled to terminate any lease or any tenant’s right to possession), which right shall include the right to continue or commence legal actions or proceedings against any tenant. Delivery of the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts shall not constitute a waiver by Sellers of such right, and such right shall survive the Closing. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with Sellers in any collection efforts hereunder (but shall not be required to litigate or declare a default under any Lease). With respect to delinquent rents and any other amounts or other rights of any kind respecting tenants who are no longer tenants of the Project Assets as of the Closing Date, Sellers shall retain all rights relating thereto.
(c) Sellers shall, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, transfer to Purchaser any security deposits which are held in the form of letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”) if the same are transferable by delivery of originals of the same to Escrowee together with an executed original of any prescribed instrument of transfer, transferring the same to Purchaser, in each case prior to the Closing Date. If any of the Letters of Credit are not transferable, Sellers shall, immediately after the Closing, request the tenants obligated under such Letters of Credit to cause new letters of credit to be issued in favor of Purchaser in replacement thereof and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such replacement after Closing and Sellers shall take all reasonable action, as directed by Purchaser and at Purchaser’s expense, in connection with the presentment of such Letters of Credit for payment as permitted under the terms of the applicable Lease, and in consideration of such agreement as aforesaid, Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Sellers harmless from any Claims arising out of the Letters of Credit after the Closing. The provision of this Section 5.4.1(c) shall survive the Closing.
(d) Tenants of the Applicable Real Property may be obligated to pay, as additional rent, certain percentage rent, escalations in base rent and pass throughs of operating and similar expenses pursuant to the terms of the Leases (collectively, “Additional Rents”). As to any Additional Rents that are based on estimates and that are subject to adjustment or reconciliation pursuant to the Leases after the Closing Date, Sellers shall perform a reconciliation for the portion of calendar year 2010 ending on the Closing Date with respect to
-17-
Additional Rents received for such period from tenants and the underlying operating expenses to which they relate (a “Reconciliation”). Sellers shall provide a copy of the Reconciliation to Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date. If, during the period commencing on January 1, 2010 and ending on the Closing Date, Sellers collected estimated Additional Rents in excess of any tenant’s share of such expenses as shown on the Reconciliation, then Sellers shall credit Purchaser for such excess at Closing and Purchaser shall be responsible for crediting or repaying such amounts to the tenants in accordance with the terms of the Leases. The parties shall “re-prorate” such Additional Rents (including any portions thereof that may be required to be refunded to tenants) at the time that such estimates are actually adjusted or reconciled pursuant to the terms of the Leases (taking into account the credit, if any, given at Closing related thereto). Any amounts that may be due Sellers as a result of such re-prorations shall be paid by Purchaser to Sellers within ten (10) Business Days after Purchaser collects such amounts from the tenants (which Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain), and any amounts that may be due the tenants from Sellers as a result of such re-prorations shall be paid by Sellers to Purchaser within ten (10) Business Days after written request therefor is delivered to Sellers by Purchaser (to the extent not previously credited at Closing as provided above). Sellers shall be entitled to collect any Additional Rents directly from the applicable tenants to the extent relating to its period of ownership, subject to the limitations set forth in subsection (b) above.
(e) Charges and payments under Contracts or permitted renewals or replacements thereof assigned to Purchaser pursuant to the Assignment and Assumption of Leases and Contracts and any fees or expenses in connection with any agreements recorded against any Project Asset and which are not eliminated as an Unpermitted Exception pursuant to Section 4.1.
(f) Any prepaid items, including, without limitation, fees for licenses which are transferred to Purchaser at the Closing and annual permit and inspection fees.
(g) Utilities, including, without limitation, telephone, steam, electricity and gas, on the basis of the most recently issued bills therefor, subject to adjustment after the Closing when the next bills are available, or if current meter readings are available, on the basis of such readings.
(h) Deposits with telephone and other utility companies, and any other persons or entities who supply goods or services in connection with the Project Assets if the same are assigned to Purchaser at the Closing, which shall be credited in their entirety to Sellers.
5.4.2 Items to be prorated at the Closing shall include the costs and expenses incurred by Sellers in connection with any new Leases or any extension, renewal or expansion of any existing Leases entered into after the date hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 7.2.3(a), to be prorated over the term of the Lease or the extension, renewal or expansion. Such costs and expenses shall be borne entirely by Purchaser unless Seller has received rents under such new Leases or any extension, renewal or expansion, in which event, Purchaser’s share of such costs shall be based on the portion of the Lease term, or the term of the extension, renewal or expansion, as the case may be, occurring on or after the
-18-
Closing, which amount shall be credited to Seller at Closing, to the extent paid by Seller prior thereto. Without limitation on the foregoing, Purchaser shall be responsible for and expressly assumes the obligation to pay its share of all brokerage and leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs and other costs and expenses including attorney’s fees for any new leases entered into from and after the date hereof and any extension, renewal or expansion of any existing Lease exercised or entered into from and after the date hereof, provided in all such instances, the term of such Lease, or extension, renewal or expansion or the regularly scheduled payment of rent commences from and after the date of this Agreement (collectively, “Purchaser Leasing Costs”). If, at the Closing, Sellers have paid any Purchaser Leasing Costs, then the prorations at the Closing shall include an appropriate credit to the Sellers. Sellers shall be responsible for all tenant improvement costs, tenant incentives and leasing commissions for all Leases and extension, renewal or expansion of any existing Leases which occurred prior to the date of this Agreement, provided that Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing in the amount of $53,830 for costs relating to tenant improvement work associated with the currently vacant space in the Pinole Point Improvements.
5.4.3 If any of the items described in Section 5.4.1 cannot be apportioned at the Closing because of the unavailability of information as to the amounts which are to be apportioned or otherwise, or are incorrectly apportioned at Closing or subsequent thereto, such items shall be apportioned or reapportioned, as the case may be, as soon as practicable after the Closing Date or the date such error is discovered, as applicable; provided that (i) with the exception of any item required to be apportioned pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a), (b) or (g), neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the one hundred eightieth (180th ) day after the closing date and (ii) with respect to the items required to be apportioned pursuant to Section 5.4.1(a), (b) or (g), neither party shall have the right to request apportionment or reapportionment of any such item at any time following the one (1) year anniversary of the Closing Date. If the Closing shall occur before a real estate tax rate or assessment is fixed for the tax year in which the Closing occurs, the apportionment of taxes at the Closing shall be upon the basis of the tax rate or assessment for the preceding fiscal year applied to the latest assessed valuation. Promptly after the new tax rate or assessment is fixed, the apportionment of taxes or assessments shall be recomputed and any discrepancy resulting from such recomputation and any errors or omissions in computing apportionments at Closing shall be promptly corrected and the proper party reimbursed, which obligations shall survive the Closing.
5.4.4 The provisions of this Section 5.4 shall, subject to Section 5.4.3, survive the Closing.
6. Condemnation or Destruction of Project Assets. If after the date hereof but prior to the Closing Date, either any portion of the Applicable Real Property is taken or threatened to be taken pursuant to eminent domain proceedings or condemnation or any of the Applicable Improvements are damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, then Sellers shall promptly deliver, or cause to be delivered, to Purchaser, notice of any such eminent domain proceedings or casualty. Except as otherwise provided by law, Sellers shall have no obligation to restore, repair or replace any portion of the Applicable Real Property or any such damage or destruction. The Applicable Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser all of the Applicable Seller’s interest in all awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or the
-19-
proceeds of any insurance collected by the Applicable Seller for such damage or destruction (unless the Applicable Seller shall have repaired such damage or destruction prior to the Closing and except to the extent any such awards, proceeds or insurance are attributable to lost rents or items applicable to any period prior to the Closing), less the amount of all costs incurred by the Applicable Seller in connection with the repair of such damage or destruction or collection costs of the Applicable Seller respecting any awards or other proceeds for such taking by eminent domain or condemnation or any uncollected insurance proceeds which the Applicable Seller may be entitled to receive from such damage or destruction, as applicable. In connection with any assignment of awards, proceeds or insurance hereunder, Sellers shall credit Purchaser with an amount equal to the applicable deductible amount under the Applicable Seller’s insurance; provided, however, if (i) the amount of the damage or the value of the taking or threatened taking with respect to the Project Assets (in each case as determined by an independent third party contractor or engineer selected by the Applicable Seller and reasonably approved by Purchaser) shall exceed the sum of Two Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,400,000) in the aggregate or (ii) any Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such casualty or such a temporary or permanent taking (or threatened taking) under the power or threat of eminent domain (which right has not lapsed or expired in accordance with the terms of the applicable Lease), then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by notice to Sellers given within ten (10) days after the first written notice from Sellers to Purchaser (x) indicating the estimated amount of the damage or the value of the taking or threatened taking (if such amount is in excess of Two Million Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,400,000)) or (y) notifying Purchaser that a Major Tenant has the right to terminate its Lease as a result of such casualty, taking or threatened taking. In any instance where this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 6, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, and this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except for the Surviving Obligations). The parties hereby waive the provisions of any statute which provides for a different outcome or treatment in the event of a casualty or a condemnation or eminent domain proceeding. The provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the Closing.
7. Representations, Warranties and Covenants.
7.1 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Sellers.
7.1.1 Representations and Warranties of Sellers. Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.1.1, each Applicable Seller hereby represents to Purchaser either as to itself or as to the applicable Project Asset, as of the date hereof which representations shall be deemed to be remade as of the Closing (subject to Section 4.4. above), that:

11.18 Disclosure. All of the terms and conditions of this Agreement (including the identity of Purchaser and the existence of this Agreement) are confidential, and neither party shall disclose such terms and conditions or the existence of this Agreement to anyone other than to legal counsel, lenders and potential lenders and other agents and representatives who need to know such information in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Subject to the requirements of applicable laws, neither Sellers nor Purchaser shall make any news releases or any public disclosure with respect to the transactions contemplated herein without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that Sellers and Purchaser shall be permitted to make any disclosure required by law, including without limitation any disclosure required by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Purchaser acknowledges that this transaction is not subject to that Civil Code Section, but that nevertheless the form promulgated therein serves to satisfy other statutory disclosure requirements of applicable law. Sellers do not represent or warrant either the accuracy or completeness of the information on that Exhibit, and Purchaser shall use same merely as a guideline in its overall investigation of the Project Assets. THESE HAZARDS MAY LIMIT PURCHASER’S ABILITY TO DEVELOP THE PROJECT ASSETS, TO OBTAIN INSURANCE, OR TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE AFTER A DISASTER.

In no event shall Sellers or any Seller Related Party have any liability to Purchaser or any Purchaser Representative in connection with any information provided pursuant to this Section 11.23, except due to Sellers’ gross negligence or intentional willful misconduct. Purchaser shall indemnify Sellers and the Seller Related Parties and hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, and causes of action, and all actual out-of-pocket losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by any of them and arising out of or in connection with the use, disclosure or reliance by Purchaser or any Purchaser Representative on any information provided by Sellers pursuant to this Section 11.23, except due to Sellers’ gross negligence or intentional willful misconduct. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, nothing herein is intended to limit Sellers’ obligations with respect to any representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement or in any document delivered by Sellers at Closing, which representations and warranties shall at all times be subject to the terms of this Agreement or any such document delivered by Sellers at Closing, as applicable.
