NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants and agreements herein contained and other valuable consideration, the sufficiency and receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, covenant and agree as follows:
1. SALE AND PURCHASE. Seller does hereby covenant and agree to sell and convey the Real Estate, together with all water rights, all mineral rights (if any, and then only to the extent of Seller’s interest therein), appurtenances and hereditaments, as well as title and interest to easements and rights-of-way, now located thereon or attached thereto (collectively, the “Additional Interests” and, hereafter, the Real Estate and the Additional Interests shall be referred to as the “Property”) by good and sufficient grant deeds recordable in Madera and Xxxx Counties, California (the "Grant Deeds") to Buyer, or to such entity as Buyer may designate provided that such entity is owned by Buyer or Buyer’s parent company and provided further that Buyer shall not be released from any of Buyer’s agreements and undertakings as set forth herein; and Buyer covenants and agrees to purchase and accept Property on the terms provided for herein.

2. PRICE.
a) Purchase Price. The price at which Seller will sell, and Buyer will purchase, the Property shall be One Hundred Ten Million and No/100 Dollars ($110,000,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”).
b) Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
(i) Independent Consideration. Notwithstanding any term or provision of this Agreement, Buyer hereby delivers to Seller an amount equal to One Hundred and No/100 Dollars ($100.00) from the Initial Deposit (as hereinafter defined) (the “Independent Consideration”) as independent consideration to Seller for having entered into this Agreement. The Independent Consideration shall be nonrefundable if Close of Escrow does not occur for any reason related to a Buyer default or termination under this Agreement, or due to a failure of a Buyer condition, and to the extent that this Agreement requires any funds to be refunded to Buyer, any amount so refunded shall not include the Independent Consideration; provided, however, that the Independent Consideration shall be refunded to Buyer from Seller, as part of Buyer’s damages, in the event of a Seller default under this Agreement.
(ii) Deposit. Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date, Buyer shall deposit the sum of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with Escrow Holder (the “Initial Deposit”). At Buyer’s request, the Initial Deposit shall be placed in an interest bearing account at a federally insured commercial bank or other institution acceptable to Buyer, with all interest accruing for Buyer’s benefit. The entire Initial Deposit (and any accrued interest) is refundable to Buyer until the end of the Title Review Period (defined below in Section 3(b)). Thereafter, unless Buyer is unable to obtain the Financing (as described in Section 5(a)), the Initial Deposit shall be non-refundable. After the earlier of Buyer's obtaining assurance of the Financing or the end of the Financing Period, unless Buyer has given timely notice of its election to terminate this Agreement as provided in Section 5(a), Buyer shall deposit an additional One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with Escrow Holder (the “Additional Deposit” and together with the Initial Deposit and all interest accrued thereon, is referred to herein as the “Deposit”). Thereupon, the Deposit shall be non-refundable for any reason except Seller’s material breach of the obligations under this Agreement. If Escrow Closes, then Escrow Holder shall apply the Deposit (and accrued interest) against the Purchase Price.
(iii) Balance. At or prior to the Close of Escrow (as defined below), Buyer shall deposit the balance of the Purchase Price with Escrow Holder in cash, by cashier’s check, wire transfer, or other immediately available good funds acceptable to Seller (the “Balance”).
c) Liquidated Damages. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE EVENT THAT THE ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO A BREACH OR DEFAULT BY BUYER, THEN THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT DEPOSITED AT THAT TIME SHALL ACT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND NOT AS A PENALTY AND AS SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER AT LAW OR OTHERWISE. THE AMOUNT OF SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S BREACH OR DEFAULT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO ASCERTAIN, AND THE AMOUNT SET FORTH ABOVE AS LIQUIDATED
Page 2 of 38
DAMAGES HAS BEEN AGREED UPON BY SELLER AND BUYER AFTER SPECIFIC NEGOTIATION. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT SET FORTH ABOVE REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE ACTUAL DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WOULD INCUR IN THE CASE OF SUCH BREACH OR DEFAULT BY BUYER.

3. TITLE TO PROPERTY. Seller shall convey good, marketable and insurable fee simple title to the Property to Buyer free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, subject only to the exceptions listed below (the "Permitted Exceptions")

(ii) The lien for supplemental taxes and assessments resulting from the change in ownership created by the sale of the Property to Buyer;

Buyer’s failure to provide such written notice of withdrawal to Seller on or before the end of the Title Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s acceptance of the Property and intention to complete the purchase thereof in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Deposit shall become non-refundable except in the case of Seller’s material default under this Agreement or Buyer's inability to obtain the Financing.
c) Title Insurance. At the Close of Escrow and as a condition to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property, Escrow Holder shall commit to issue, and to deliver to Buyer, its standard coverage ALTA title insurance policy insuring title to the Property in Buyer in the condition set forth in Section 3(a) and with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”). Seller shall pay the cost of a CLTA title insurance policy and Buyer shall pay any additional costs or fees associated with the ALTA title insurance policy.
d) Additional Title Evidence. If Buyer or Buyer’s lender requires title evidence of a type other than that which Seller provides, then the additional cost, if any and all other costs not set forth herein to be paid by Seller, occasioned by the title evidence required shall be at Buyer’s expense and no additional cost shall be chargeable to Seller.

c) Rental Agreement. Buyer agrees to enter into the Lease Agreement. The Lease Agreement shall be executed by Buyer at Closing.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, COVENANTS AND STIPULATIONS OF SELLER.
a) |
Authority. Seller covenants and warrants to Buyer, its successors and assigns, that Seller has full right and lawful authority to enter into this Agreement and no other parties have any right or ownership in or to the Property. |
b) |
Possession. At Closing, possession of the Property will be delivered to Buyer, free of all contracts, except for Permitted Title Exceptions, the Lease Agreement, and the Excluded Property. |
c) |
No New Encumbrances. From and after the Effective Date until Closing, Seller shall not convey any portion of the Property or any rights therein, or enter into any lease, license, conveyance, security document, easement or other agreement, or amend any lease or existing agreement granting to a third party (i.e., a non-affiliate) any rights with respect to the Property or any part thereof, or any interest whatsoever therein, without Buyer’s prior written consent. |
d) |
No Rights to Third Parties. With the exception of Permitted Exceptions, and the Lease Agreement attached as Exhibit C hereto, no person or entity, other than Buyer, has any right, agreement, commitment, option, right of first refusal or any other agreement, whether oral or written, with respect to the sale, assignment or transfer of all or any portion of the Property. Furthermore, from the Effective Date until thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall neither enter into nor solicit from or negotiate with any third party with respect to the sale, assignment or transfer of all or any portion of the Property. |
e) Environmental. To the best of Seller’s actual knowledge, without independent inquiry, Seller has not used, authorized or allowed the use of the Property and, to the best of Seller’s actual knowledge, without independent inquiry, the Property has never been used in any manner other than in full compliance with all Hazardous Substance laws. To the best of Seller’s actual knowledge without independent inquiry, no soil or water in or under the Property is contaminated by any Hazardous Substance. For purposes of this Section 2(e), Hazardous Substances shall be any hazardous or toxic substances or waste as those terms are defined by any federal, state or local law or regulation (including CERLA and RCRA) and include, but are limited to, petroleum, asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), flammables, explosives and chemicals known to cause toxicity or cancer. To the best of Seller's actual knowledge, without independent inquiry, there are no pending or threatened actions relating to any environmental law, there are no events or circumstances that would require clean-up or remediation, and there are no underground storage tanks situated upon the Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer understands that the Property has historically been used for agricultural and farming operations and has been farmed by parties other than Seller, including prior owners and Seller's prior tenant. Seller has no present actual knowledge of environmental contamination or violation of environmental laws, but assumes that standard agricultural and farming chemicals, fertilizers, and pesticides have been and are being used upon the Property in connection with such operations. The presence of such items shall not be deemed to be a breach of this representation, and Buyer may obtain environmental surveys during the Inspection Period if it desires further information with respect to such
Page 34 of 38
matters. Seller has not received written notice and has no knowledge that there has been a release to the Property (including the land, surface water, ground water and any improvements) of any Hazardous Substances in violation of law subsequent to the date of the relevant Phase I Environmental Report for each property identified in Exhibit A ; provided, however, that this representation and warranty does not include those Hazardous Substances used either by Seller from time to time in the ordinary course of business as conducted at the Property or used by occupants of the Property other than Seller and which, to Seller's knowledge, have not caused contamination to the Property that requires remediation under applicable law. The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing and shall not merge in the deed of conveyance. Seller shall indemnify and hold Buyer, its affiliates and its and their partners, managers, members, employees, shareholders, agents, officers, directors and representatives, harmless from and against any and all actions, liabilities, claims, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable experts’ fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees and the costs and expenses incurred by such attorneys and experts) arising out of or in any way related to any breach by Seller or Seller's agents of the provisions of this Section 3(e).
e) |
Foreign Person. Seller is not a foreign person within the meaning of Section 1445(f) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code, and no portion of the purchase price is required to be withheld by Buyer pursuant to Section 1445 of such Code and the regulations promulgated. Upon Buyer’s request, Seller shall provide Buyer with written verification and certification that payments to Seller are not subject to withholding by Buyer. |
g) Adverse Tax Consequence. If such taxes apply to a period on or before the Closing, Seller shall be responsible for payment, including reimbursement to Buyer of any rollback taxes assessed, including those assessed for any and all “look back” periods should the assessment rate change or for any other reason rollback taxes are assessed against the property after Closing. This provision shall survive Closing.
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONVENANTS OF BUYER.
a) Authority. Buyer warrants and represents to Seller that it has, and at Closing will have, all requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated herein pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
b) No Violation. Buyer’s execution of this Agreement and performance of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement will not violate any agreement, option, covenant, condition, obligation, or undertaking of Buyer.
c) Performance. Buyer shall timely perform and comply with all covenants and agreements, and satisfy all conditions, that Buyer is required to perform, comply with, or satisfy under this Agreement.
5. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. In the event any party hereto shall fail to pay, perform or observe any of the covenants and conditions undertaken by it herein to be paid, performed or observed, then such party shall be deemed to be in default with respect hereto. In the event of a default by Seller, Buyer shall have the right, following ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller during which period Seller has failed to cure such default, in addition to other remedies available at law or in equity, to: (a) require Seller to perform all of its obligations hereunder including specifically its obligation to convey the Property to Buyer, and (b) recover damages, including
Page 35 of 38
expenses incurred by Buyer, as a result of the default. In the event of a default by Buyer, Seller shall have the right to declare this Agreement canceled.
6. REAL ESTATE COMMISSION. Any real estate commission attributable to, or associated with, the sale of the Property herein incurred by Seller shall be paid by Seller at Closing. Any real estate commission attributable to, or associated with, the sale of the Property herein incurred by Buyer shall be paid by Buyer at Closing. Seller and Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the other from any and all losses, claims, damages, costs or expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which the other may incur as a result of any claim made by any person to a right to a sales or brokerage commission or finder’s fee in connection with this transaction to the extent such claim is based, or purportedly based, on the acts or omissions of Seller or Buyer, as the case may be. The obligations of Buyer and Seller under this Section 5 shall survive the Closing.
7. MISCELLANEOUS.
a) |
No Waiver. No waiver of any covenant or condition contained in this Agreement or of any breach of any such covenant or condition shall constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of such covenant or condition by either party, or justify or authorize the nonobservance on any other occasion of the same or any other covenant or condition hereof of either party, nor shall any forbearance by either party to seek a remedy for any breach constitute a waiver with respect to such or any subsequent breach. |
