(a) Title Report. Within ten (10) days after the Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), Seller, at its sole expense, shall furnish or cause to be furnished to Purchaser (i) a preliminary report (the “Title Report”) issued by the Title Company, showing the state of title to the Property, together with (ii) true, correct and legible copies of any and all instruments (the “Title Exceptions”) referred to in the Title Report as constituting or containing exceptions or restrictions upon the title of Seller.
(b) Title and Survey Review. Purchaser shall have a period of twenty (20) days after receipt of the Title Report and the Title Exceptions within which to review such documents and to notify Seller in writing of any items which Purchaser deems, in its sole discretion, objectionable.

Within five (5) days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of title objections, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser listing any of Purchaser’s objections which Seller agrees to cure and those which Seller is either unable or unwilling to cure. If Seller does not deliver the notice within the five (5) days provided in the previous sentence, such inaction shall constitute notice that Seller is unwilling to cure Purchaser’s objections. If Seller does not agree to cure all of Purchaser’s objections, Purchaser shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within a further five (5) days or (ii) waive its objections and accept such title as Seller is able to convey, in which case the title objections which are not cured shall also be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated (on or before the Closing) to obtain a release of any liens against the Property securing indebtedness of Seller.
5. Additional Documents and Information. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver the following documents and items to Purchaser to the extent Seller has Knowledge of them and they are either in Seller’s possession or readily available to Seller, without any representations or warranties by Seller other than as provided in paragraph 8:

6. Conditions Precedent to Purchaser’s Obligation. Purchaser’s obligation to close the sale and purchase hereunder is subject to the following conditions precedent:
(a) Inspection Period.
(i) Purchaser shall have a period ending at 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on the date which is sixty (60) days after the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”), within which to
4
(i) review the items described in paragraph 5 above, (ii) conduct a physical inspection of the Property, (iii) verify the square footage of the buildings comprising the Improvements, (iv) conduct such other inspections, tests, investigations and feasibility studies as Purchaser may deem necessary or advisable in connection with its purchase of the Property, and (v) secure adequate financing for the purchase of the Property on terms acceptable to Purchaser in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion. Purchaser and its duly authorized agents and representatives shall be given reasonable access to the Property at any time, and from time to time, prior to the Closing for the purpose of conducting such inspections, tests, studies and other investigations; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not unreasonably disturb any business of Seller in connection with the Property and provided that Seller shall be afforded the opportunity to participate in such visitations. Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics’ liens, materialmen’s liens or claims arising out of any of Purchaser’s activities or of Purchaser’s representatives on or with respect to the Property. All entries onto the Property by Purchaser and all inspections and examinations thereof shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, shall be done in a workmanlike manner in accordance with all applicable codes, statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations and laws and shall not disturb in any way the quiet occupancy or enjoyment of any occupant of the Property. Purchaser shall not perform any test or inspection or carry out any activity at the Property which may damage the Property in any way or which is physically intrusive into the Improvements or the Land without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. After each entry onto any portion of the Property, Purchaser, at its sole cost and expense shall repair (which shall include replacement where necessary) any damage to the Property arising from such entry. In connection with any inspection on the Property, Purchaser and Purchaser’s representatives shall (x) carry liability insurance adequate in Seller’s reasonable judgment and, upon the request of Seller, will provide Seller with written evidence of same, and (y) name Seller as an additional insured for such liability insurance. Purchaser will give Seller reasonable prior notice of its intention to conduct any inspections or tests with respect to the Property and Seller reserves the right to have a representative present.
(ii) If all the items listed in paragraph 5 above are not provided to Purchaser prior to the end of the Inspection Period, or if such inspections, tests, studies or other investigations are not satisfactory, or if Purchaser determines that the Property is unsuitable for any other reason, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to proceed with this transaction, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to such effect to Seller and make the Additional Deposit with the Escrow Agent on or before the last day of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser fails to provide Seller with written notice of its intent to proceed with this transaction or to make the Additional Deposit on or before the last day of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have exercised its right to terminate this Agreement under this paragraph 6(a). Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from any liens, claims, damages, losses or expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection with its inspections, tests, studies or other investigations hereunder; provided, however, Purchaser’s obligation shall not extend to any diminution in the value of the Property caused by, or other consequences of, Purchaser’s discovery of problems or other conditions on or with respect to the
5
Property, nor shall Purchaser’s obligation extend to the cost of remediation of any such problem or other condition not caused by Purchaser. If the Title Report, Title Exceptions and Exhibit B have not been received by Purchaser within ten (10) days after the Effective Date, then the Inspection Period shall be extended one (1) day for each day of delay in Purchaser’s receipt of such items, provided, in no event, shall the Inspection Period be extended by more than fifteen (15) days.
(b) Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller. Seller shall have duly performed each and every agreement to be performed by Seller hereunder, and Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in paragraph 8 below shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.
(c) Continued Operation. Seller shall operate the Property in an efficient and business-like manner and shall maintain the Property in substantially its present state of repair up to the Closing Date.
(d) Service Contracts. Purchaser shall be satisfied that all Service Contracts are either personal in a nature to Seller or can be terminated without liability to Purchaser.
In the event any of the conditions set forth in this paragraph 6 are not timely satisfied, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement. The conditions set forth in this paragraph 6 are solely for the benefit of Purchaser and may be waived only by Purchaser. Purchaser shall at all times have the right to waive any condition. The waiver by Purchaser of any condition shall relieve Seller of any liability or obligation as respects any representation, warranty or covenant of Seller unless Seller shall otherwise agree in writing. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall act or fail to act for the purpose of permitting or causing any condition in this paragraph 6 to fail (except to the extent Purchaser, in its sole discretion, exercises its right to disapprove any such items or matters).

(a) The primary term of the Lease shall be fifteen (15) years.
(b) Base rent shall be payable in monthly installments at the initial rate of $1.95 per rentable square foot contained in the Buildings (using the same number of rentable square feet on which the Purchase Price is calculated pursuant to Paragraph 2), with two and one-half percent (2 1/2%) annual increases on a cumulative basis.

(d) Seller shall have two options to renew the term of the Lease for two (2) consecutive periods of five (5) years each.

(g) Seller shall have Purchaser’s proxy to vote at association meetings or take action by written consent in lieu of such association meeting, provided Purchaser’s prior approval to vote or take action by written consent is needed before Seller votes on any matter which would impose a monetary obligation on Purchaser.
(h) Seller shall have the right to make further improvements to the Land and Buildings during the Lease term in accordance with provisions to be set forth in the Lease.
The remaining terms and conditions of the Lease shall be negotiated by Seller and Purchaser after the Effective Date. The initial draft of the Lease shall be prepared by Seller’s counsel. If the form of the Lease is not finalized and agreed to by both parties (despite their good faith efforts to do so) within thirty-five (35) days after the Effective Date (the “Lease Approval Period”), then either party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to the other party at any time after the expiration of the Lease Approval Period.

11. Right of First Offer.
(a) If Seller should desire to offer the property known as 6154 Xxxxx Xxxxx Drive, as more particularly described on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof (the “Adjoining Property”), for sale, Seller shall first give written notice to Purchaser stating the purchase price and other terms (the “Proposed Terms”) which Seller would be willing to accept. At any time within thirty (30) days following written notice to Purchaser of the Proposed Terms (the “Offer Period”), Purchaser may elect to purchase the Adjoining Property on the Proposed Terms by written notice to Seller accompanied by a cashier’s check payable to the escrow agent specified in the Proposed Terms in an amount equal to the xxxxxxx money specified in the Proposed Terms. In addition, Seller agrees to negotiate with Purchaser regarding the Adjoining Property during the Offer Period, and it is acknowledged that Purchaser and Seller may reach an agreement during the Offer Period for the sale of the Adjoining Property to Purchaser on terms other than the Proposed Terms. The Proposed Terms, if accepted by Purchaser, or any such other terms to which Seller and Purchaser shall agree are referred to herein as the “Agreed Terms”.
(b) If Purchaser elects to purchase the Adjoining Property as provided in subparagraph (a), then Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close the sale of the Adjoining Property on the Agreed Terms at the closing date specified in the Agreed Terms which shall be not less than sixty (60) days and not more than ninety (90) days after written notice to Purchaser of the Proposed Terms. If the closing fails to occur by reason of a default of Purchaser, Seller shall be entitled to receive the xxxxxxx money as liquidated damages, and Seller shall thereafter be free to
10
sell the Adjoining Property without further compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 11. If the closing fails to occur by reason of a default of Seller, then, at the option of Purchaser, either the xxxxxxx money shall be returned to Purchaser and the provisions of this paragraph 11 shall apply to any subsequent sale of the Adjoining Property, or Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance.
(c) If Purchaser does not elect to purchase the Adjoining Property as provided in subparagraph (a), then Seller may negotiate a contract of sale to sell the Adjoining Property to another party; provided that if the sales price offered to such other party is more than five percent (5%) below the sales price offered to Purchaser in the Proposed Terms (“Reduced Price Terms”), then Seller shall give written notice of such reduced price to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have a period of ten (10) days following the delivery of such written notice within which to elect to purchase the Adjoining Property at such reduced price, before Seller may close the sale with such other party. If Purchaser elects to purchase the Adjoining Property as provided in this subparagraph (c), then Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to close the sale of the Adjoining Property on the Reduced Price Terms at a closing to be held not more than forty-five (45) days after written notice to Purchaser of the Reduced Price Terms. If the closing fails to occur within said forty-five (45) day period for any reason other than default of Seller, Seller shall be entitled to receive the xxxxxxx money as liquidated damages, and Seller shall thereafter be free to sell the Adjoining Property without further compliance with the provisions of this paragraph 11. If the closing fails to occur by reason of a default of Seller, then, at the option of Purchaser, either the xxxxxxx money shall be returned to Purchaser and the provisions of this paragraph 11 shall apply to any subsequent sale of the Adjoining Property, or Purchaser shall be entitled to the remedy of specific performance.
(d) The provisions of this paragraph 11 shall survive the Closing. The provisions of this paragraph 11 shall have no force and effect if the Closing does not occur.

Seller shall pay the recording costs relating to the sale and purchase and Purchaser shall pay the recording costs relating to its financing.

(g) Withholding of Taxes for Foreign Persons. Seller agrees to furnish to Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date all documentation required by Internal Revenue Code Section 1445 and California Revenue and Taxation Code Sections 18805 and 26131, if applicable.

14. Casualty or Condemnation. If, on the Closing Date or prior thereto, any casualty shall occur with respect to the Improvements or any condemnation proceedings affecting a material part of the Property shall be commenced or threatened, Purchaser may, at its option, either (i) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller or (ii) in the event Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Agreement or if the condemnation does not affect a material part of the Property, proceed to close this transaction with no reduction in the Purchase Price, and Purchaser shall be entitled to all casualty insurance proceeds or all right, title and interest in and to any condemnation proceeds or awards or sales price in lieu of condemnation, and Purchaser shall also receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to any deductible under Seller’s insurance; provided, however, that Purchaser shall be obligated to comply with its obligations under the applicable provisions of the Lease regarding application of any such casualty insurance proceeds and any condemnation proceeds or awards or sale price in lieu of condemnation.

Seller agrees to notify Purchaser in writing immediately after any casualty has occurred or any condemnation proceedings are commenced or threatened. Purchaser shall be entitled to participate in the negotiation of any settlement with the casualty insurance carrier or the condemning authorities, and unless or until this Agreement is terminated, Seller shall take no action with respect to any such activity or proceeding without the prior written approval of Purchaser, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
