2.2.2 Financing Contingency. Purchaser, at its expense, shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to procure, a loan (the “Loan”) to finance its acquisition of the
Property within 3 days following the Date of this Agreement. Purchaser shall pay all lender fees
and all fees for appraisals, inspections, reports and other costs related to the Loan. If
Purchaser is not able to obtain a commitment for the Loan meeting the parameters hereinafter set
forth by the expiration of the Contingency Period and so long as Purchaser has affirmatively
waived the Inspection Contingency, Purchaser shall have the right to extend the Contingency Period
solely for purposes of satisfying the Financing Contingency herein contemplated to 5:00 p.m. on
August 9, 2010. If by August 9, 2010, Purchaser has not be able to obtain a commitment for a Loan
meeting the parameters hereinafter set forth, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving to
Seller notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, as herein
extended. In the event of such termination, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be promptly refunded to
Purchaser upon request, and Purchaser shall simultaneously return the Property Information to
Seller.
The financing contingency contemplated by this Section 2.2.2 (the “Financing
Contingency”) shall be deemed satisfied if any commitment for the Loan provides for the
following (or better) terms: (i) an interest rate equal to or less than seven and one-half
percent (7.5%), (ii) a loan-to-value ratio of at least fifty percent (50%)(e.g. a loan amount of
$5,000,000.00), (iii) monthly payments of principal and interest based up a thirty (30) year
amortization schedule, (iv) a loan term of no less than five (5) years, (v) a funding date which
is simultaneous with the Closing Date hereunder, and (vi) such other substantive Loan terms as are
commercially reasonable and approved by Purchaser in its discretion. Purchaser agrees to provide
Seller with any Loan commitments it receives during the Contingency Period.
2.2.3 Estoppel Contingency. Promptly following the deposit of the Initial Xxxxxxx
Money with Escrow Agent, Seller shall distribute the Estoppel Certificates (defined below),
substantially in the form of Exhibit K hereto or, for the Major Tenants only, in the
lender’s estoppel certificate form, provided that Purchaser has provided to Seller the lender
estoppel certificate form no later than 12:00 pm (Pacific time) on July 15, 2010 (or, if any of
the Tenants’ leases specifically requires use of a different form, then in the form required by
the lease)(or if Purchaser has waived the Financing Contingency at the time the Estoppel
Certificates are to be distributed and its lender has specified another form of estoppels
certificate reasonably acceptable to Seller, then in such form) to the Tenants. Seller shall use
its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver to Purchaser not later on or before the
expiration of the Contingency Period, which shall be extended should Purchaser elect an extension
as set forth in Subsection 2.2.2 above (the “Estoppel Delivery Deadline”), the
Estoppel Certificates from the Tenants at the Property signed by the Tenant to whom it is
addressed and certifying that the facts, conditions and information recited therein are true and
correct in all material respects (each, an “Estoppel Certificate” or “Estoppel”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller is unable to deliver the Estoppel Certificates from at
least 4 of the 5 Tenants occupying at least 5,800 square feet or more (each, herein a “Major
Tenant”, which Major Tenants are listed on Exhibit G attached hereto and made a part
hereof) and one of the other Tenants listed on Exhibit G-1 (the “Estoppel
Threshold”) (but in no event less than 75% of the currently leased space if Purchaser’s lender
so requires as a condition to making Purchaser’s loan), Seller may, but shall not be obligated to:
(a) provide an estoppel certificate signed by Seller (“Seller Estoppel”) in lieu of that
to be provided by a particular Tenant in order to satisfy the Estoppel Threshold, which Seller
Estoppel shall be made to the best of Seller’s actual knowledge; or (b) extend the Contingency
Period (i.e. beyond August 9, 2010) by up to an additional twenty (20) days solely to provide
Seller with more time to obtain the Estoppel Certificates by delivering notice of such intention
to Purchaser prior to the then-scheduled expiration of the Contingency Period. If at any xxxx
Xxxxxx obtains and delivers to Purchaser any Estoppel Certificate from a Tenant for which Seller
provided a Seller Estoppel (even after Closing), any related Seller Estoppel shall be of no
further force or effect. If Seller is unable, despite its commercially reasonable efforts, to
deliver the Estoppel Certificates in the numbers required by this Section 2.2.3 to meet
the Estoppel Threshold, Seller shall not be in default, but Purchaser shall have the right, but
not the obligation, to terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller within one (1) business
days after the Estoppel Delivery Deadline (as may be extended by Seller as herein provided), in
which event this Agreement shall terminate and the Xxxxxxx Money and all accrued interest thereon
shall be returned to Purchaser.
6
2.3 Mechanics to Proceed or Terminate; Waiver. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, if Purchaser is dissatisfied with the results of its Inspection
Contingency, or if the Financing Contingency fails to be satisfied, and/or if the Estoppel
Threshold is not met, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of
termination to Seller (“Due Diligence Termination Notice”)(with a copy to Escrow Holder),
so long as each such notice is received by Seller on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the last
day of the Contingency Period (as extended). If Purchaser does not give and Seller does not timely
receive a Due Diligence Termination Notice, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect
and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all the contingencies contained in Section 2.2. If
this Agreement terminates pursuant to this Section 2.3: (a) the Initial Xxxxxxx Money shall
be refunded to Purchaser promptly upon request, (b) Purchaser shall return and/or deliver to Seller
all documents, information, reports, etc., including without limitation the Property Information,
provided by Seller, Seller’s Manager, Seller’s Property Manager, and Seller’s Broker, and (c) all
further rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement shall terminate except any
provisions which by their terms survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Purchaser
so elects to terminate this Agreement
and as consideration for its Inspection Contingency, then Purchaser shall also deliver to
Seller copies of all third party reports, investigations and studies, other than economic analyses
(collectively, the “Reports” and, individually, a “Report”) prepared for, and
delivered to, Purchaser in connection with its due diligence review of the Property. Such Reports
shall be delivered to Seller without any representation or warranty as to the completeness or
accuracy of the Reports or any other matter relating thereto, and Seller shall have no right to
rely on any Report without the written consent of the party preparing same. Purchaser’s obligation
to deliver the Reports pursuant to this Subsection 2.3 shall survive any termination of
this Agreement.
2.4 Insurance. Subject at all times to the terms of the Leases, upon at least
forty-eight (48) hours’ prior written notice to Seller, and after providing to Seller reasonably
satisfactory evidence of appropriate liability insurance (i.e., a policy of commercial general
liability insurance issued by a licensed insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller with
applicable limits of not less than $1,000,000 per occurrence, combined single limit, subject to a
$5,000,000 general aggregate, with umbrella coverage of not less than $5,000,000, which shall be
evidenced by an original certificate of insurance, form XXXXX 27, 28 or equivalent, naming Seller
and Manager as additional insureds), and subject to the terms of the Leases, Purchaser shall have
reasonable access to the Property for the purpose of conducting surveys, architectural,
engineering, geotechnical and environmental inspections and tests (including intrusive inspection
and sampling, if there is a reasonable basis for the same and provided Purchaser gives
Seller two (2) business days’ prior notice of any intrusive inspection or sampling, Purchaser
obtains from Seller Seller’s prior written consent which shall not be unreasonably withheld and,
prior to performing the same, Purchaser delivers a certificate of insurance to Seller evidencing
that Purchaser has in place reasonable amounts of liability insurance for its activities on the
Property and has named Seller and Manager as an additional insureds thereunder), and any other
inspections, studies, or tests reasonably required by Purchaser. Purchaser and its agents,
employees, and representatives shall, subject to the terms of this Agreement, have a continuing
right of reasonable access to the Property during the pendency of this Agreement for the purpose of
examining and making copies of all books and records and other materials relating solely to the
Property in Seller’s (or its Manager’s) possession. In the course of its investigations, Purchaser
may make inquiries to third parties, such as Tenants, lenders, contractors, property managers,
parties to Service Contracts and municipal, local and other government officials and
representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries, subject to the following: Purchaser shall
not contact such third parties without (a) first procuring Seller’s consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (b) allowing Seller or Seller’s representative(s), if
Seller so elects, the right to be present, either in person or by telephone and (c) maintaining the
confidentiality of all non-public information related to this Agreement and to the Property.
Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens and will indemnify, defend, and hold
Seller, Manager and the Property free and harmless of, from and against any and all claims,
demands, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, asserted against
Seller, the Manager or the Property or otherwise caused or suffered as a result of any such entry
by Purchaser, its agents, representatives, employees, contractors and/or other consultants. At
Seller’s request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with a copy of the results of any tests and
inspections made by Purchaser, excluding only market and economic feasibility studies. If any
inspection, test or other entry disturbs the Property, Purchaser will restore the Property to the
same condition as existed prior to any such inspection, test or other entry. The obligations of
Purchaser under the preceding two (2) sentences shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
2.5 Indemnity; Repair Obligations. Purchaser hereby covenants and agrees to (a) bear
all costs and expense relative to its inspection and testing and (b) to indemnify, defend and hold
Seller, Manager, and each of their officers, directors, agents, servants and employees harmless
from and against all loss, claims, liabilities, actions, manners of action, damage, cost or expense
(including the reasonable expenses of litigation and attorneys’ fees) resulting from the entry of
Purchaser’s agents, contractors and employees upon the Property; provided that Purchaser will not
be responsible for any
negligence or misconduct of Seller or any agent, contractor, or employee of
Seller. Purchaser shall promptly repair any and all damage to the Property or any of the Tenants’
property which results or has resulted from Purchaser’s exercise of its rights of access to the
Property. The covenants of Purchaser under this Section 2 shall survive the Closing or
termination of this Agreement.
7
2.6 Service Contracts. Prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period, Purchaser
will indicate in a written notice to Seller which of the Service Contracts Purchaser will assume
and which Service Contract(s) will be terminated by Seller at or prior to Closing, provided Seller
shall have no obligation to terminate and Purchaser shall assume the following: (a) any Service
Contract(s) which by its (their) terms cannot be terminated without penalty or payment of a fee;
and/or (b) any Service Contract Purchaser desires to be terminated but with respect to which
Purchaser does not provide to Seller sufficient advance notice of the desired termination.
Purchaser will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Service
Contracts that are not in default as of the Closing Date and which Purchaser has agreed to assume
or which Seller is not required to terminate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence.
Seller shall terminate all Service Contracts that are not so assumed at Closing.
2.7 SNDAs. Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a
commercially reasonable subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreement from the Tenants
substantially in the form required by Purchaser’s lender, (or, if any of the Tenants’ leases
specifically requires use of a different form, then in the form required by the lease). Failure to
procure the same shall not be a default by Seller nor a contingency to Purchaser’s acquisition of
the Property.
2.8 Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement. As used herein, the term “Natural Hazard
Area” shall mean those areas identified as natural hazards in the Natural Hazard Disclosure
Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4, and 51183.5, and California Public
Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694, and 4136, and any successor statutes or laws (the
“Act”). Seller shall provide Purchaser with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement
(“Disclosure Statement”) as to the Property. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has
retained the services of an expert (the “Natural Hazard Expert”) to examine the maps and
other information made available to the public by government agencies for the purpose of enabling
Seller to fulfill its disclosure obligations with respect to the Act and to prepare a written
report of the result of its examination (the “Report”). Purchaser acknowledges that the
Report fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations under the Act, and,
for the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding
the non-liability of Seller for errors or omission not within its personal knowledge shall be
deemed to apply and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert dealing within the
scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and Report. Purchaser acknowledges and
agrees that nothing contained in the Disclosure Statement shall release Purchaser from its
obligation to fully investigate the condition of the Property, including, without limitation,
whether the Property is located in any Natural Hazard Area. Purchaser further acknowledges and
agrees that the matters set forth in the Disclosure Statement or Report may change on or prior to
the Closing Date and that Seller has no obligation to update, modify, or supplement the Disclosure
Statement or Report. Purchaser shall be solely responsible for preparing and delivering its own
Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement to subsequent prospective buyers of the Property. The
provisions of this Section 2.8 shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement.
2.8.1 Review of Operating Statements. Within 60 days following the Closing and upon
Purchaser’s reasonable prior written request and at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, Purchaser
shall cause its independent, outside accounting firm (herein “Auditor”) to prepare an
audit of the operating income from the Property in conformity with the requirements of Rule 3-14
of Regulations S-X promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for the 2008 and 2009
calendar years and the first two calendar quarters of 2010 (herein “Property Audit”).
Seller agrees to provide Auditor with reasonable access to its books and records in connection
with the preparation of the Property Audit, and a copy of the same shall be provided to Seller
promptly upon completion. Purchaser agrees to compensate Seller and Manager for their actual out
of pocket expenses incurred in connection with the Property Audit (including but not limited to
the costs associated with any representation letter, if any, that Seller and/or Manager is
mandated by applicable Federal law to provide). Purchaser acknowledges that Seller’s agreement to
facilitate the Property Audit as herein provided is being made strictly as an accommodation to
Purchaser, without representation or warranty of any kind to or for the benefit of Purchaser. In
no event shall any Property Audit or update thereto give rise to or be grounds for a claim or
lawsuit by Purchaser against Seller or Manager, and Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller
and Manager harmless from any claim, damage, loss, cost, expense or liability which Seller and/or
Manager may incur or to which Seller and/or Manager is at any time subjected as a result of
Seller’s and Manager’s compliance with this Section 2.9.

ARTICLE 3: TITLE AND SURVEY REVIEW
3.1 Delivery of Title Commitment and Survey. If not already provided, Seller and/or
Purchaser shall request that Title Company cause to be prepared and delivered to Purchaser and its
counsel (as well as to Seller and its counsel), as soon as reasonably practicable after the Date of
Agreement, at Seller’s expense, a commitment for title insurance or preliminary title report issued
by the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”), in the amount of the Purchase Price, with
Purchaser as the proposed insured, accompanied by legible copies (to the extent that legible copies
are available in the public records) of all documents referred to in the Title Commitment; and, if
already provided, incomplete as to the identity of the proposed insured, the amount of the Purchase
Price, provision of the underlying documents or otherwise, Seller and/or Purchaser, at Purchaser’s
expense, may cause the same to be updated, as appropriate; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
the foregoing, if the Closing occurs, Purchaser shall not be responsible for any separate expense
of the Title Commitment (e.g., any search and examination fee or abstract fee) to the extent that
such expense is included in and/or covered by Seller’s payment of the premium for the Owner’s
Policy (as defined below), as contemplated by Section 3.4 below. Seller agrees that it
shall provide an existing survey of the Property (“Survey”) if it has one in its
possession, which may be revised at Purchaser’s election and expense. In addition, if Purchaser
elects to obtain the same, Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller and
Seller’s counsel copies of Uniform Commercial Code searches in the name of Seller and the Property
issued by the Title Company or a search company acceptable to Purchaser (“UCC Searches”).
3.2 Title Review and Cure. During the Contingency Period, Purchaser shall review
title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitment, the Seller’s Policy and the Survey.
Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in curing any reasonable objections Purchaser may
have with respect to title to the Property; provided, however, that Seller shall not have any
obligation to spend money or incur any other obligation, liability or duty in connection with such
cooperation, except as hereafter provided in this Section 3.2. Seller shall have no
obligation to cure title objections except financing liens of an ascertainable amount created by,
under or through Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released (at Seller’s expense,
including any recording fees incurred or to be incurred in connection therewith) at or prior to the
Closing. Seller further agrees to remove (at Seller’s expense, including any recording fees
incurred or to be incurred in connection therewith) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which
are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Date of Agreement without Purchaser’s
consent; if requested, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In addition to
Purchaser’s termination right as set forth in Article 2, Purchaser may terminate this
Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money if the Title Company revises the Title
Commitment after the expiration of the Contingency Period to add or modify any exceptions which
materially adversely affect the Property (other than to disclose those items noted on the Survey,
as the same may be revised, or to include items noted on Seller’s Policy), or to add or modify the
conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Purchaser and agreed to be provided by Title
Company during the Contingency Period, if such additions or modifications are not acceptable to
Purchaser and are not removed by the Closing Date; Seller’s obligations as set forth in, but as
limited by, the second, third and fourth sentences of this Section 3.2 shall apply to all
matters disclosed by any revision to the Title Commitment by Title Company after expiration of the
Contingency Period. The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include the following:
(a) the exceptions that are a part of the promulgated title insurance form (i.e., the so-called
“standard exceptions,” whether or not the same are printed, preprinted or otherwise), except to the
extent the same are removed as a result of (i) Seller providing an Owner’s Affidavit as
contemplated by Section 3.3 below or (ii) Purchaser’s actions, at Purchaser’s sole cost and
expense, including, without limitation, the provision of a Survey, if Purchaser so elects; (b) the
specific exceptions (i.e., the “special” or other exceptions that are not part of the promulgated
title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that Title Company has not agreed to insure over or
remove from the Title Commitment as of the end of the Contingency Period and that Seller is not
required to remove as provided above; (c) matters created by, through or under Purchaser; (d) items
shown on the Survey which have not been removed as of the end of the Contingency
Period and that Seller has not agreed to remove as provided above; (e) real estate taxes not
yet due and payable; and (f) Tenants and the Leases.
9
3.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. The parties shall instruct Title Company to
issue at Closing, or to unconditionally commit at Closing to issue, to Purchaser, Title Company’s
most current form of standard (i.e., not extended) CLTA owner’s coverage (the “Owner’s
Policy”) insuring Purchaser’s title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price,
subject only to the Permitted Exceptions as well as any and all other standard or required
exclusions. If further coverage or endorsements are desired by Purchaser, Purchaser shall order
the same directly from Title Company and shall undertake all actions as well as pay all additional
premiums and all other costs which may be required as a condition to the issuance of such further
coverage or endorsements. Seller shall not be obligated to undertake any action or pay any monies
as a condition precedent to the issuance of such further coverage or endorsements to the Owner’s
Policy or to remove any standard exceptions therefrom requiring more of Seller than delivery of an
“Owner’s Affidavit,” in the form of Exhibit E attached (or to be attached) hereto.
3.4 Title and Survey Costs. The premium for the standard coverage portion of the
Owner’s Policy shall be paid by Seller. The cost of the Survey and Title Commitment (including,
without limitation, any fee to issue, obtain, and/or update the Title Commitment and/or underlying
documents, as well as any search and exam fees) shall be paid by Purchaser. The cost of the
premium for any upgrade to ALTA extended coverage (i.e., providing for the deletion of regional
exceptions) and/or any other upgrade in coverage, including without limitation endorsements, and
the cost of any UCC Searches, litigation searches and the like shall be paid by Purchaser.
ARTICLE 4: OPERATIONS AND RISK OF LOSS
4.1 Ongoing Operations. During the pendency of this Agreement:
4.1.1 Performance under Leases and Service Contracts. Subject to Section
4.1.4, Seller will perform, in a manner consistent with its performance to date, the material
obligations under the Leases and Service Contracts and other agreements that may affect the
Property including any construction of tenant improvements required to be performed prior to
Closing. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller has recently performed certain landlord work under the
Lease with the California Department of Consumer Affairs and that a survey of such work will be
performed to verify completion (with the estimated cost of the survey being $750.00). The survey
and any punchlist work resulting therefrom are estimated to be completed prior to the Closing
Date. Should Seller not complete the same, Seller shall reasonably estimate the remaining costs
associated therewith and credit the Purchase Price for the same at Closing.
4.1.2 New Contracts. Except as provided in Subsection 4.1.4, Seller will not
enter into, amend or terminate any contract that will be an obligation affecting the Property
after the Closing, except contracts entered into, amended or terminated in the ordinary course of
business that are terminable without cause and without penalty on not more than thirty (30) days’
prior notice.
4.1.3 Maintenance of Improvements and Removal of Personal Property. Subject to
Section 4.2 and Section 4.3 (as well as the obligations of Tenants under the
Leases; e.g., Purchaser shall not look to Seller for the performance of maintenance required by
the Tenants under the Leases), Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain all
Improvements in their present condition and repair (ordinary wear and tear, damage and
destruction, as well as rights and obligations of Tenants, excepted). Seller will not remove any
Tangible Personal Property, except as may be required for necessary repair or replacement, and
replacement shall be of equal quality and quantity as existed as of the time of its removal.
10
4.1.4 Leasing Arrangements. Seller will not amend or terminate any existing Lease or
enter into any new Lease without providing Purchaser (a) all relevant supporting documentation, as
reasonably determined by Seller, including, without limitation, financial information of the
tenant and/or licensee, as applicable, and Leasing costs, to the extent in Seller’s possession,
and (b) as to any such
amendment or termination of a Lease or new which is to be executed after the expiration of
the Contingency Period, as the same may be extended, Seller’s request for Purchaser’s approval
thereof. If Purchaser’s consent is requested by Seller as to any amendment or termination of a
Lease or new Lease, Purchaser agrees to give Seller written notice of approval or disapproval of a
proposed amendment or termination of a Lease or new Lease or new License Agreement within three
(3) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of the items in (a) and (b) of this Section
4.1.4. If Purchaser does not respond to Seller’s request within such time period, then
Purchaser will be deemed to have approved such amendment, termination or new Lease or new License
Agreement. Purchaser’s approval rights and obligations will vary depending on whether the request
for approval from Seller is delivered to Purchaser before or after the expiration of the
Contingency Period, as follows:
(i) With respect to a request for approval delivered by Seller to Purchaser before the
expiration of the Contingency Period, Purchaser’s consent shall not be required.
(ii) With respect to a request for approval delivered by Seller to Purchaser after the
expiration of the Contingency Period, Purchaser may withhold its consent at its sole discretion,
and Seller may not amend or terminate a Lease or License Agreement or enter into a new Lease or new
License Agreement without Purchaser’s written consent.
4.1.5 Listings and Other Offers. During the pendency of the Contingency Period (as
may be extended), Seller has the right to continue to market the Property. Seller shall have the
right at all times to entertain offers and counter offers and to take and enter into back up
offers and agreements to sell the Property which are contingent upon the termination of this
Agreement.
4.1.6 Notices. Seller shall use good faith efforts to promptly furnish to Purchaser
copies of any written notices hereafter received by Seller of (i) any suit, judgment or other
proceeding filed, entered or threatened with respect to the Property or Seller’s use or ownership
thereof, (ii) any actual or contemplated changes in zoning of the Property or any other legal
requirement which would adversely affect the use, ownership, maintenance or leasing of the
Property, and (iii) any default by any other party or notice or claim of default by Seller made by
any other party under the Leases or Service Contracts.
4.2 Damage. In the event of any material damage to or destruction of the Improvements
or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option by notice to Seller given within five (5) days
after Seller notifies Purchaser of such damage or destruction (and, if necessary, the Closing Date
shall be extended to give Purchaser the full five (5) day period to make such election), either (i)
terminate this Agreement, or (ii) proceed under this Agreement, receive any insurance proceeds
(including assignable rent loss insurance, if any, applicable to any period on and after the
Closing Date) due Seller as a result of such damage or destruction and assume responsibility for
such repair, and Purchaser shall receive a credit at Closing for any deductible, uninsured or
coinsured amount under applicable liability insurance policies. If Purchaser elects (ii) above,
Purchaser may extend the Closing Date for up to an additional five (5) period in which to obtain
insurance settlement agreements with Seller’s insurers, and Seller will reasonably cooperate with
Purchaser in obtaining the insurance proceeds and such agreements from Seller’s insurers. If the
Improvements are not materially damaged, then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this
Agreement, but Seller shall, at its cost, repair the damage before the Closing in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser or, if repairs cannot be completed before the Closing or if
Seller otherwise elects not to commence or complete such repairs, credit Purchaser at Closing for
the reasonable cost to complete the repair (exclusive of insurance proceeds paid or to be paid).
For the purposes of this Agreement, “material damage” and “materially damaged”
means damage estimated to cost five percent (5%) or more of the Purchase Price to repair.
11
4.3 Condemnation. In the event any proceedings in eminent domain are contemplated,
threatened or instituted by any body having the power of eminent domain with respect to the
Property or any portion thereof, Purchaser may, at its option by notice to Seller given within five
(5) days after Seller notifies Purchaser of such proceedings (and if necessary the Closing Date
shall be extended to give Purchaser the full five (5) day period to make such election), either (i)
terminate this Agreement, or (ii)
proceed under this Agreement, in which event Seller shall, at the Closing, assign to Purchaser
its entire right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award, and Purchaser shall have the
right during the pendency of this Agreement to participate in negotiations with the condemning
authority in respect of such matter.
4.4 Civil Code Section 1662 Waiver. Seller and Purchaser each expressly waive the
provisions of California Civil Code Section 1662 and hereby agree that the provisions of Article 4
shall govern the parties’ obligations in the event of any damage or destruction to the Property or
the taking of all or any part of the Property, as applicable.
ARTICLE 5: CLOSING
5.1 Closing. The consummation of the transaction contemplated herein
(“Closing”) shall occur on the Closing Date at the offices of the Escrow Agent. Closing
shall occur through an escrow with the Escrow Agent. Funds shall be deposited into and held by
Escrow Agent in a closing escrow account with a bank satisfactory to Purchaser and Seller. Upon
satisfaction or completion of all closing conditions and deliveries, the parties shall direct the
Escrow Agent to, and Escrow Agent shall, immediately record and deliver the closing documents to
the appropriate parties and make disbursements according to closing statements executed by Seller
and Purchaser. Escrow Agent shall agree in writing with Purchaser that (i) deposit of the Deed
with the recorder’s office of the county where the Property is located for recordation constitutes
Escrow Agent’s representation that Escrow Agent is holding the closing documents, closing funds and
closing statements and is prepared and irrevocably committed to disburse the closing funds in
accordance with the closing statements and (ii) release of funds to Seller shall irrevocably commit
Title Company to issue the Title Policy in accordance with this Agreement. Provided such
supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in
writing from time to time, Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow
instructions as may be appropriate to enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this
Agreement; however, the supplemental escrow instructions shall not act to extend or provide any
extension of any period(s) of performance, notice, grace or cure under this Agreement unless
specifically referenced and agreed to, in writing, by both Purchaser and Seller or their respective
counsel.
5.2 Mutual Conditions to the Parties’ Obligations to Close. In addition to all other
conditions set forth herein, the obligation of Seller, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other
hand, to consummate the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be contingent upon the following:
5.2.1 The other party’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be true and
correct in all material respects as of the Date of Agreement and the Closing Date (provided,
however, if Purchaser is aware that any of Seller’s representations and warranties are not true
and correct in all material respects prior to the end of the Contingency Period but Purchaser
nevertheless did not terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.3 above, the accuracy
of such representations and warranties shall no longer be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to
purchase the Property hereunder);
5.2.2 As of the Closing Date, the other party shall have performed its obligations hereunder and
all deliveries to be made at or before Closing have been tendered;
12
5.2.3 As of the Closing Date, there shall exist no pending or threatened assignment for the
benefit of creditors, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding against
the other party that would materially and adversely affect the operation or value of the Property
or the other party’s ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement;
5.2.4 [Reserved]; and
5.2.5 The Title Company shall be irrevocably committed to issue the Owner’s Policy in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.3.
So long as a party is not in default hereunder, if any condition to such party’s obligation
to proceed with the Closing hereunder has not been satisfied as of the Closing Date, such party
may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the other
party on or before the Closing Date (provided that any notice from Purchaser to Seller alleging a
failure of a condition shall also give Seller at least five (5) business days to correct or
otherwise address the same), or elect to close notwithstanding the non-satisfaction of such
condition, in which event such party shall be deemed to have waived any such condition; if the
party electing to terminate pursuant to this sentence is Purchaser, then Purchaser shall also be
entitled to a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money; however, if the party electing to terminate is Seller,
then such party (i.e., Seller) may be entitled to the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages if and
to the extent permitted by Section 9.4 as well as any other applicable terms and
provisions of this Agreement. In the event such party elects to close, notwithstanding the
non-satisfaction of such condition, there shall be no liability on the part of any other party
hereto for breaches of covenants, representations and/or warranties of which the party electing to
close had actual knowledge at the Closing. Notwithstanding any termination in accordance with the
foregoing and except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and in Section 7.5,
the failure of a condition which also constitutes a breach by a party of an obligation of such
party shall not relieve such breaching party from any liability it would otherwise have under this
Agreement for such breach.
5.3 Seller’s Deliveries in Escrow. At least one (1) business day prior to the Closing
Date, Seller shall deliver in escrow to the Escrow Agent the following:
5.3.1 Deed. A grant deed in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, executed

statutes) substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto or another appropriate
form or documentation of exemption (“FIRPTA Affidavit”); if Seller fails to provide the

Seller and Purchaser shall deposit with the Escrow Agent executed closing statements consistent
with this Agreement in the form required by Escrow Agent. If Seller and Purchaser cannot agree on
the closing statement to be deposited as aforesaid because of a dispute over the prorations and
adjustments set forth therein, then: (a) regardless of the proration amount in dispute, Seller may
elect that the Closing nevertheless shall occur, and the amount in dispute shall be withheld from
the Purchase Price and placed in an escrow with Escrow Agent, to be paid out upon the joint
direction of the parties or pursuant to court order upon resolution or other final determination of
the dispute, or (b) if the proration amount in dispute is less than $5,000, the Purchaser may elect

ARTICLE 6: PRORATIONS
6.1 Prorations. Except as otherwise provided herein (e.g., see Subsections 6.1.4
and 6.1.7), the items in this Section 6.1 shall be prorated between Seller and
Purchaser as of the close of the day (i.e., 11:59 p.m.) immediately preceding the Closing Date:
6.1.1 Taxes and Assessments. General real estate taxes and assessments imposed by
governmental authority and rent taxes, if any (collectively, “Taxes”), as well as any
assessments by private covenant constituting a lien or charge on the Property for the then-current
calendar year or other current tax period not yet due and payable. If the Closing occurs prior to
the receipt by Seller of the tax xxxx for the calendar year or other applicable tax period in
which the Closing occurs, Purchaser and Seller shall prorate such Taxes for such calendar year or
other applicable tax period based upon the most recent ascertainable assessed values and tax
rates, which proration shall be subject to readjustment in accordance with Section 6.2.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event and to the extent the Tenants under the Leases have
paid or shall pay one hundred percent (100%) the Taxes directly to the taxing authority or
authorities, the Taxes shall not be prorated.
6.1.2 Collected Rent. All collected rent and other income (and any applicable state
or local tax on rent) under the Leases in effect on the Closing Date; for the purposes of this
Subsection 6.1.2, the term “rent” shall mean and include so-called “additional rent,”
including, without limitation, any operating expense pass-throughs, so-called “CAM” or common area
maintenance charges, and the like. Seller shall be charged with any rentals collected by Seller
before Closing but applicable to any period of time after Closing. Uncollected rent and other
income shall not be prorated. If Purchaser collects delinquencies after Closing, Purchaser shall
apply such rent to the obligations then due and owing to Purchaser for its period of ownership and
to costs of collection, remitting the balance, if any, to Seller. Purchaser shall xxxx and
attempt to collect such delinquent rent in the ordinary course of business, but shall not be
obligated to engage a collection agency or take legal action to collect any delinquencies. To the
extent not applicable to periods prior to the Closing, rent received by Seller after the Closing
shall be immediately forwarded by Seller to Purchaser for disposition in accordance with this
Subsection 6.1.2. After the Closing, Seller shall have the right to seek collection of
any delinquent rents or any other amounts owed by tenants to Seller (see, for example, Section
6.2 below in this regard) for or relating to any period prior to the Closing; Seller shall
not, however, have the right to bring eviction proceedings.
6.1.3 Utilities. Utilities, including water, sewer, electric, and gas, based upon
the last reading of meters prior to the Closing. Seller shall endeavor to obtain meter readings
on the day before the Closing Date and, if such readings are obtained, there shall be no proration
of such items. Seller shall pay at Closing the bills therefor for the period to the day preceding
the Closing, and Purchaser shall pay the bills therefor for the period subsequent thereto. If the
utility company will not issue separate bills, Purchaser will receive a credit against (or, if
appropriate, a reimbursement from) the
Purchase Price for Seller’s portion and will pay the entire xxxx prior to delinquency after
Closing. If Seller has paid any utilities more than thirty (30) days in advance in the ordinary
course of business, then Purchaser shall be charged its portion of such payment at Closing.
15
6.1.4 Leasing Commissions. Leasing commissions and locator’s and finder’s fees due
to leasing or other agents for leases entered into on or after the Date of Agreement (as well as
extensions, expansions or renewals of leases granted or exercised during the pendency of this
Agreement), on the basis of Seller’s and Purchaser’s respective periods of ownership in relation
to the benefit (i.e., the term) of the relevant lease, extension, expansion or renewal (e.g.:
example 1, Purchaser shall be solely responsible and liable for all commissions and/or fees which
result from a new lease the term of which does not commence until on or after the Closing Date;
and, example 2, Purchaser shall be responsible and liable for 59/60 (and Seller shall be
responsible for 1/60) of all commissions and/or fees which result from a new lease the sixty (60)
month term of which commences one (1) month prior to the Closing Date).
6.1.5 Fees and Charges under Service Contracts. Fees and charges under such of the
Service Contracts as are being assigned to and assumed by Purchaser at the Closing, on the basis
of the periods to which such Service Contracts relate.

allowances as well as concessions due to tenants under leases entered into on or after the Date of
Agreement (as well as extensions, expansions or renewals of the Leases granted or exercised during
the pendency of this Agreement) shall be prorated in the same manner as leasing commissions, etc.,
under Subsection 6.1.4.
6.1.7 Timing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, in the
event that the Closing and the wiring of the Purchase Price proceeds by the Title Company to
Seller’s designated account does not occur on or before 2:00 P.M. local time in Los Angeles,
California (i.e., Pacific Standard Time or Pacific Daylight Time, as appropriate) on the Closing
Date, the parties shall re-prorate so that Seller shall be afforded the income and expenses of the
day of Closing, rather than Purchaser.
6.2 Final Adjustments After Closing.
6.2.1 Final Bills and Adjustments. In the event that final bills are not available
or cannot be issued prior to Closing for any item being prorated under Section 6.1, then
Purchaser and Seller agree to allocate such items on a fair and equitable basis as soon as such
bills are available; final adjustment is to be made as soon as reasonably possible after the
Closing. Payments in connection with the final adjustment shall be due within thirty (30) days of
written notice.
6.2.2 Operating Expense Pass-Throughs. Seller, as landlord under the Leases, may
currently be collecting from the Tenants under the Leases additional rent to cover taxes,
insurance, utilities, maintenance and other operating costs and expenses (collectively,
“Operating Expense Pass-Throughs”) incurred by Seller in connection with the ownership,
operation, maintenance and management of the Property. If Seller has collected estimated payments
of Operating Expense Pass-Throughs in excess of or in an amount less than the Tenants’ share of
such expenses during the year (or other payment period) during which the Closing occurs, then the
parties shall make an adjusting payment between them when the correct amounts can be determined
after year-end (or other appropriate) billing to and receipt from Tenants, subject, however, to
the following: PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SELLER, AS WELL AS MANAGER AND PROPERTY
MANAGER, FREE AND HARMLESS OF, FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LOSSES, LIABILITIES,
DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, INCURRED
OR SUFFERED, ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO ANY FAILURE OR ALLEGED
FAILURE BY PURCHASER IN CREDITING AND/OR REIMBURSING A TENANT FOR AN OVERPAYMENT WHICH OVERPAYMENT
IS CREDITED OR REIMBURSED BY SELLER TO PURCHASER FOR FURTHER
CREDIT OR REIMBURSEMENT HEREUNDER; PURCHASER SHALL MAKE GOOD FAITH REASONABLE EFFORTS TO
COLLECT AMOUNTS OWING FROM TENANTS TO SELLER AS A RESULT OF UNDER-PAYMENT (I.E., AS A RESULT OF
ESTIMATED EXPENSES BEING LESS THAN ACTUAL EXPENSES) AND SHALL PAY THE SAME TO SELLER IMMEDIATELY
UPON (AND, IN ANY EVENT, WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS OF) RECEIPT, BUT SUCH EFFORTS SHALL NOT LIMIT
SELLER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES AS PROVIDED IN SUBSECTION 6.1.2 ABOVE.
16
6.2.3 Survival. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties under this
Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing as provided in Section 7.3.
6.3 Tenant Deposits. All tenant security deposits collected and not applied by Seller
(including interest thereon, if required by law or contract to be earned thereon) shall be
transferred or credited to Purchaser at Closing. As of the Closing, Purchaser shall assume
Seller’s obligations related to tenant security deposits, but only to the extent they are credited
or otherwise transferred to Purchaser. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties under this
Section 6.3 shall survive the Closing; provided, however, that Seller’s obligations,
liabilities and duties under this Section 6.3 shall be limited by and expire upon the
expiration of the six (6) months survival/limitation period described in Section 7.3; and
provided, further, that Purchaser may not look to Seller for any obligation, liability or duty
which is covered by the Estoppel Certificates.
6.4 Utility Deposits. Seller shall receive a credit for the amount of deposits, if
any, with utility companies that are transferable and that are assigned to Purchaser at the
Closing.
6.5 Sales, Transfer, Documentary and Documentary Transfer Taxes; Recording
Fees. Seller shall pay any deed or transfer taxes, including without limitation documentary
transfer tax, imposed by the County in which the Property is located. Seller shall pay any
deed or transfer taxes, including without limitation documentary transfer tax, imposed by the
municipality in which the Property is located. Purchaser shall pay all other recording fees,
charges and taxes due and/or owing in connection with recording the deed and any mortgage,
assignment of leases or other documents required by Purchaser in connection with this
transaction; Seller’s obligation for recording fees, charges and taxes, if any, is set forth in
and limited by Section 3.2. Purchaser shall pay all sales taxes, if any,
attributable to the transfer of any personal property to Purchaser.
6.6 Commissions. Each of Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant to the other that
it has not dealt with any real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this
transaction other than their respective brokers listed in Sections 1.1.10 and
1.1.11. Seller shall pay a commission in accordance with its separate agreement with
Seller’s Broker if, and only if, the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is closed in strict
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and title transfers to Purchaser.
Seller’s Broker shall share its commission with Purchaser’s Broker or any other licensed broker
involved in this transaction, but the payment of the commission by Seller to Broker shall fully
satisfy any obligations of Seller to pay a commission hereunder. Under no circumstances shall
Seller owe a commission or other compensation directly to Purchaser’s Broker or any other broker,
agent or person. If the Closing does not occur for any reason, including without limitation
Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement as allowed by Section 3 or as a result of
a breach by either party hereto, no Commission shall be due and payable to either Seller’s Broker
or Purchaser’s Broker. Purchaser acknowledges, represents and agrees that neither Purchaser’s
Broker nor any other broker, agent, representative or any other person or entity is authorized to
make any agreement or representation for or on behalf of Seller. Additionally, Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be responsible for the payment of any broker, agent,
representative or any other person or entity retained by Purchaser. Subject to the foregoing terms
of this Subsection 6.6, in the event of any claim for broker’s or finder’s fees or
commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby, each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from
and against any such claim by a broker, finder, agent or other representative claiming by, through
or under the indemnifying party. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties under this
Section 6.6 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement. Seller’s
liability under this Section 6.6 shall not be subject to the “Cap” referenced in
Section 7.5.
17

shall be paid as follows: one-half (1/2) by Seller and one-half (1/2) by Purchaser.
Except as

customary practice in the locale of the Property (i.e., San Diego, California).

delivered by Seller in connection with this Agreement, the Closing, or otherwise, including any

Agreement) and are remade as of the Closing Date and shall not be deemed to be merged into or
waived by the instruments of Closing, but shall survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months
(the “Survival Period”); provided, however, that Purchaser’s representations and warranties
set forth in Subsection 7.2.3 and Subsection 7.2.4 shall survive indefinitely and
shall not be subject to the foregoing limitation; provided, further, that, prior to the Closing,
Seller may update its representations and warranties from time to time upon learning of any new,
different or changed information; and, in such event, the remaking of Seller’s representations and
warranties as of the Closing Date shall be as so updated; and, in the event Seller does so update
its representations and warranties, and the same is not caused or contributed to by any act
or omission by Purchaser (including without limitation, Purchaser’s agents, representatives,
employees and consultants), and the same results in the disclosure of a material adverse
change, then, within three (3) business days of Purchaser’s receipt of such update (but, in any
event, prior to the Closing, which shall, if necessary, be extended to give Purchaser three (3)
business days to respond), Purchaser may, upon written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder,
terminate this Agreement as its sole and exclusive remedy; if this Agreement terminates pursuant to
the immediately preceding provision, then such termination shall be in accordance with the last
three (3) sentences of Subsection 2.2.1. Except as otherwise provided herein (i.e., see
the first proviso in the immediately preceding sentence), Seller and Purchaser shall have the right
to bring an action thereon only if Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, shall both file
and serve such action within such the Survival Period. Except as otherwise provided
herein, each party agrees to defend and indemnify the other against any claim, liability, damage or
expense asserted against or suffered by such other party arising out of the breach or inaccuracy of
any such representation or warranty; provided, however, that Purchaser shall have no right to bring
a cause of action or to seek indemnification for a breach of a representation or warranty unless
(i) the damage to Purchaser on account of such breach (individually or when combined with damages
from other breaches) equals or exceeds $75,000.00, (ii) such action is permitted under Section
7.5, and (iii) such action is timely filed and served in accordance with this Section

7.4 Seller’s Knowledge. Terms such as “to Seller’s knowledge,” “to the best of
Seller’s knowledge” or like phrases, when used in this Article 7 (or elsewhere in this
Agreement), mean only the actual personal knowledge of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, who is an employee of
Manager, without imputation and without any duty of inquiry or investigation; provided, however,
that so qualifying Seller’s knowledge shall in no event give rise to any personal obligation,
liability or duty on the part of Xxxxxxx X. Xxxxxx, the Manager, or the property manager or any
other trustee, director, officer, employee, member, partner, representative or agent of Seller or
Manager (as third party beneficiaries) on account of any breach of any representation or warranty
made by Seller herein.
20
7.5 Cap on Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, including without limitation the indemnity from Seller in favor of Purchaser set forth
in Section 7.3, except as specifically provided in Section 8.1, no claim for a
breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller shall be actionable or payable if the
breach in question was known to Purchaser prior to Closing. If the breach occurs or becomes known
to Purchaser after Closing, a claim for a breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of
Seller, whether contained in this Agreement and/or in any certificate, instrument or other document
delivered by Seller in connection with this Agreement, the Closing, or otherwise, including any
Seller Estoppel, shall be actionable only if the valid claims for all such
breaches collectively aggregate more than $75,000.00, in which event the full amount of such
claim shall be actionable up to the Cap, and provided written notice containing a description of
the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to the
expiration of the nine (9) months survival period set forth in Section 7.3 and an action
shall have been commenced by Purchaser against Seller and served by Purchaser upon Seller prior to
the expiration or termination of such survival period. As used herein, the term “Cap”
shall mean the total aggregate amount of $250,000.00. In no event shall Seller’s aggregate
liability to Purchaser for breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller in this
Agreement, in any certificate, instrument or other document delivered by Seller in connection with
this Agreement, the Closing, or otherwise, including any Seller Estoppel, exceed the amount of the
Cap.
ARTICLE 8: DEFAULT AND REMEDIES
8.1 Seller’s Default. If this transaction fails to close as a result of Seller’s
default, if the remedy of specific performance is available to Purchaser, the remedy of specific
performance shall (except as provided in Section 5.2 above) be Purchaser’s sole and
exclusive remedy hereunder, Purchaser hereby waiving the right to xxx Seller for monetary damages
or for any remedies available at law or in equity other than the right of specific performance and
Purchaser must commence any such action within sixty (60) days after the scheduled Closing Date.
If, however, the equitable remedy of specific performance is not available, Purchaser may seek any
other right or remedy available at law or in equity for such default by Seller, subject, however,
to the following: In no event shall Seller’s liability (other than pursuant to Section
6.6) exceed the Cap. For purposes of this Section 8.1, specific performance shall be
considered not available to Purchaser only if a court of competent jurisdiction declines to grant
the remedy of specific performance or if the nature of Seller’s default is such that upon obtaining
specific performance Purchaser will receive materially less than Purchaser bargained for in this
Agreement. For the purposes of this Section 8.1, Purchaser’s right or remedy of specific
performance shall be limited as follows: Seller’s only obligations shall be (i) to execute and
deliver the Deed and other Closing documents contemplated by this Agreement and (ii) as provided in
Section 6.6 and Section 10.9.
8.2 Purchaser’s Default. If this transaction fails to close due to the default of
Purchaser, then (in accordance with, but subject to, Section 9.4 below) Seller’s sole
remedy in (i.e., with respect to) such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to receive
and retain the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages, Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in
the event of (i.e., in connection with) such default by Purchaser; provided, however, that the
foregoing shall not limit Seller’s other rights and remedies provided by this Agreement or as a
result of another breach, default or failure to perform by Purchaser, including, without
limitation, the Other Obligations (as defined in Section 9.4 below) and as provided in the
last sentence of this Section 8.2. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in
the event of a default by Purchaser under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that
such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages. The parties covenant
and agree to execute any amendment to this Agreement reasonably required by Seller’s local counsel
in order to adequately document and to make enforceable the liquidated damages provisions set forth
in this Agreement and intended by this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any right of
Seller to liquidated damages shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any indemnity obligation,
liability or duty of Purchaser and such other obligations, liabilities and duties as are provided
and/or referenced in Section 9.4. In the event of a default by Purchaser which does not
result in a failure to close, Seller shall, subject to the terms of Section 7.3, have all
rights and remedies provided by this Agreement as well as those provided by law and equity.
21
8.3 Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party,
then the defaulting party shall pay any fees or charges due to the Escrow Agent for holding the
Xxxxxxx Money as well as any escrow cancellation or termination fees or charges and any fees or
charges due to the Title Company for preparation, termination and/or cancellation of the Title
Commitment. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties pursuant to this Section 8.3
shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Additionally, any obligation, liability or duty
of Purchaser under this Section 8.3 shall be in addition to Purchaser’s obligations,
liabilities and duties as set forth in Section 8.2 and Section 9.4.
ARTICLE 9: XXXXXXX MONEY PROVISIONS
9.1 Investment and Use of Funds. Escrow Agent shall invest the Xxxxxxx Money in
government insured interest-bearing accounts satisfactory to Purchaser, shall not commingle the
Xxxxxxx Money with any funds of Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and
Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing under this Agreement occurs, and
the Xxxxxxx Money (or any portion of it) has not previously been released to Seller, Escrow Agent
shall deliver the Xxxxxxx Money (or any portion of it) to Seller on the Closing Date.
9.2 Termination Before Expiration of Contingency Period. If Purchaser elects to
terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Contingency Period pursuant to Section
2.3, Escrow Agent shall return the entire Xxxxxxx Money (including interest earned thereon) to
Purchaser as soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of the Due Diligence Termination
Notice from Purchaser and this Agreement shall thereupon terminate. No notice to Escrow Agent from
Seller shall be required for the release of the Xxxxxxx Money to Purchaser by Escrow Agent in
accordance with the immediately preceding sentence; provided, however, that Escrow Holder shall
confirm that Seller timely received from Purchaser the required Due Diligence Termination Notice.
9.3 After Expiration of Contingency Period. After expiration of the Contingency
Period (and except as provided in Subsections 1.2.5, 2.2.2, 2.2.3, Subsection 2.3,
Section 3.2, Section 5.2, Section 8.1, Section 8.2, and Section
9.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement), Escrow Agent shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money until it
receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and
disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which
is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to a particular party(ies), in which event
the Xxxxxxx Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or
judgment. Section 9.4 shall be considered Seller’s and Purchaser’s executed written
instructions to Escrow Agent with respect to the matters set forth therein. Any portion of the
Xxxxxxx Money released to Seller shall not earn interest for Purchaser or Purchaser’s account and
Seller need not maintain or retain such funds in a separate account or other special account, but
may mingle and commingle the same with Seller’s other funds.
9.4 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. PURCHASER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT: (I) IT WOULD
BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT THAT THE
CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BY REASON OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH DAMAGES WOULD
INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, SELLER’S LOST SALE OPPORTUNITIES DURING THE PERIOD THAT THE
PROPERTY IS TAKEN OFF THE MARKET; AND (II), TAKING INTO ACCOUNT ALL OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING
ON THE DATE OF AGREEMENT, THE XXXXXXX MONEY IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN
SUCH EVENT. CONSEQUENTLY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR BY REASON OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER’S SOLE
AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND TO RECEIVE AND/OR RETAIN THE XXXXXXX
MONEY; PURCHASER SHALL MAKE, GIVE, JOIN IN, EXECUTE AND/OR DELIVER TO ESCROW AGENT ANY INSTRUMENT
REQUIRED IN THIS REGARD. THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS (AND ANY OTHER SIMILAR PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN
THIS AGREEMENT) SHALL, HOWEVER, IN NO WAY LIMIT (A) PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY AND/OR RELATED OR SIMILAR
22
OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES OR DUTIES (E.G., PURCHASER’S OBLIGATION, LIABILITY AND DUTY TO INDEMNIFY,
DEFEND AND/OR HOLD HARMLESS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 2 ABOVE, AND/OR SECTION 6.6,
(B) ANY OBLIGATION, LIABILITY OR DUTY OF PURCHASER TO RETURN, DELIVER, ASSIGN, TRANSFER OR MAKE
AVAILABLE TO SELLER DOCUMENTS, LICENSES, PERMITS, RESULTS OF DUE DILIGENCE OR OTHER INVESTIGATIONS
AND THE LIKE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE PROPERTY INFORMATION AND THE REPORTS, (C)
SECTION 8.3 OR (D) SECTION 10.9, AS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT ((A), (B), (C) AND
(D), COLLECTIVELY, THE “OTHER OBLIGATIONS”), IT BEING THE EXPRESS INTENTION OF THE PARTIES
THAT THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED HEREIN SHALL APPLY TO
PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO CLOSE, BUT SHALL NOT LIMIT THE OTHER OBLIGATIONS, LIABILITIES AND
DUTIES OF PURCHASER SET FORTH AND/OR REFERENCED HEREINABOVE. SUCH RETENTION OF THE XXXXXXX MONEY
BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676
AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR
PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 3275 OR SECTION 3369 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE OR ANY
SIMILAR PROVISION.
Purchaser:

Seller: | |||||||||
9.5 Interpleader. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of any controversy
regarding the Xxxxxxx Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by Escrow Agent
directing the Xxxxxxx Money’s disposition, Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead
shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Xxxxxxx Money or, at Escrow Agent’s
option, Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with a court of
competent jurisdiction (in the state in which the Property is located) in which event Escrow Agent
may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever
loses in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of
Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with
the other provisions of this Agreement. Each party’s obligations, liabilities and duties under
this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.6 Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting
solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be
deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to
either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not
in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost
or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting
Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally
indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent’s duties
hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith,
in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent.
9.7 Escrow Fee. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary (see, for
example, Section 6.7 above), the escrow fee, if any, charged by Escrow Agent for receiving,
holding and/or disbursing the Xxxxxxx Money or conducting the Closing shall be shared equally by
Seller and Purchaser.
ARTICLE 10: MISCELLANEOUS
10.1 Parties Bound. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written
consent of the other (which consent may be granted or withheld in the consenting party’s sole
discretion), and any such prohibited assignment shall be void; provided, however, upon notice to
Seller, Purchaser may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or related entity owned or controlled

Agreement to the Permitted Parties (defined below) to the extent necessary for said party to
perform its obligations and due diligence tests and studies hereunder, and as may be required
under laws or regulations applicable to said party. Purchaser shall be responsible for advising
