(d) Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility except for the deposit and disbursement of the funds and documents deposited with Escrow Agent pursuant to this Agreement, all as provided herein, and shall not be liable for any error in judgment or any action or inaction taken by it in accordance with the terms of this Agreement except for Escrow Agent’s negligence or willful misconduct.

(g) Escrow Agent may act in reliance upon any writing or instrument or signature which it, in good faith, believes to be valid, and any statement or assertion contained in such writing or instrument, and may assume that any person purporting to give any writing, notice, advice or instrument in connection with the provisions of this Agreement has been duly authorized to do so.

(h) Unless Escrow Agent discharges any of its duties under this Agreement in a negligent manner or is guilty of willful misconduct with regard to its duties under this Agreement, Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify Escrow Agent and hold it harmless from any and all claims, liabilities, losses, actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity, or other expenses, fees, or charges of any character or nature, which it may incur or with which it may be threatened by reason of its acting as Escrow Agent under this Agreement; and in such connection Purchaser and Seller shall indemnify Escrow Agent against any and all expenses including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the cost of defending any action, suit or proceeding or resisting any claim in such capacity.
3
(i) If the parties to this Agreement shall be in disagreement about the interpretation of this Agreement, or about their respective rights and obligations, or the propriety of any action contemplated by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent may, but shall not be required to, file an action in interpleader to resolve the disagreement. Escrow Agent shall be indemnified for all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees in its capacity as Escrow Agent in connection with any such interpleader action and shall be fully protected in suspending all or part of its activities under this Agreement until a final judgment in the interpleader action is received.
5. TITLE COMMITMENT.
(a) Purchaser has obtained a title commitment covering the Property (the “Title Commitment”) from the title insurance company identified in Line 7 of the Summary Statement written on behalf of First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”).
(b) Purchaser and Seller agree that the following are permitted exceptions to title (the “Permitted Exceptions”): the matters set forth on the Schedule of Permitted Exceptions attached hereto as Schedule 5 and by this reference made part hereof.
(c) For purposes of this Agreement, all title exceptions that are not Permitted Exceptions are “Unpermitted Exceptions.” Purchaser hereby objects to all Unpermitted Exceptions. Seller shall have the right but not the obligation to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to fifteen (15) days (the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the “Title Clearance Date”) in order to have all title exceptions other than Permitted Exceptions (collectively, the “Unpermitted Exceptions”) cured and removed from title to the Real Property, subject to Seller’s mandatory cure obligations set forth below. If Seller fails on or before the Title Clearance Date to demonstrate to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction that the Unpermitted Exceptions have been cured and removed from title to the Real Property (or will be cured and removed from title concurrently with the Closing), Purchaser shall have the option in its sole and absolute discretion to either (i) terminate this Agreement, in which case the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligations that are expressly intended to survive the termination of this Agreement), or (ii) proceed with Closing, in which case, the Purchase Consideration shall be reduced by an amount equal to the aggregate amount of all tax, judgment, mechanics’ and other liens of a definite and ascertainable amount which were caused or permitted by Seller, and which may be cured by payment of a liquidated amount (other than any existing mortgage loan(s) and mezzanine loan(s) (collectively, the “Existing Loans”). Seller shall be obligated in all events to pay in full at or before Closing the outstanding principal and interest of all of Existing Loans.
(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller is obligated to pay at or before Closing and remove of record, all Existing Loans, all mechanics’ liens that are not created by or through the affirmative acts or omissions of Purchaser, all due and payable tax liens, and all such other liens and encumbrances as may be satisfied by the payment of a liquidated amount. Seller shall use, and Seller hereby authorizes and instructs Escrow Agent to disburse, the cash portion of the Purchase Price to effectuate the termination, re-conveyance and release of all liens and other encumbrances required to be paid and released by Seller in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.
(e) Purchaser may request, at Purchaser’s expense, an ALTA as built survey (“Survey”) of the Property. On or before earlier of: (i) that date that is twenty (20) days after the receipt by Purchaser of the Survey (the “Survey Objection Date”) or the date that is twenty (20) days prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Purchaser will notify Seller in writing (the “Survey Exception Notice”) as to those matters reflected in the Survey which it will not accept. If Purchaser fails to provide Seller the Survey Objection Notice on or before the Survey Objection Date, the matters reflected in the Survey shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions and Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to such exceptions. If Purchaser delivers a Survey Exception Notice, Seller shall have until three (3) days after its receipt of the Survey Exception Notice (“Seller’s Response Date”), within which to notify Purchaser in writing of its intention to attempt to remove or otherwise cure prior to the Closing the disapproved matters reflected on the Survey (“Disapproved Survey Exceptions”). If for any reason, by the Seller’s Response Date, Seller does not provide Purchaser with such notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure such Disapproved Survey Exceptions. Upon written notice to Purchaser, Seller’s shall have the right but not the obligation to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to fifteen (15) days (the expiration of such fifteen (15) day period, the “Survey Clearance Date”) in order to cure all Unpermitted Survey Exceptions, or if requested by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, to have the Title Company commit to insure Purchaser and Purchaser’s lender (if any), at Seller’s expense, against any and all loss or damage that may be occasioned by any such Unpermitted Survey Exceptions. If Seller fails on or before the Survey Clearance Date to demonstrate to Purchaser’s sole satisfaction that the Unpermitted Survey Exceptions have been cured, Purchaser shall have the option in its sole and absolute discretion to either accept the Survey without curing the Unpermitted Survey Exceptions or to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, in which case the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder (except for obligation that are expressly intended to survive termination of this Agreement).
4
(f) Seller shall execute and deliver the title affidavit pursuant to Section 9(a)(iv), remove Unpermitted Exceptions and Unpermitted Survey Exceptions pursuant to this Section 5 above, and cooperate with Purchaser to obtain the Title Policy in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.

7. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

6

(iii) cause or take any action that would render any of the representations or warranties herein regarding the Property untrue in any material respect (other than as a result of entering into new Leases in compliance with this Agreement).
(c) From the date hereof, Seller agrees to provide Purchaser with such tax information relating to the Property as reasonably requested by Purchaser.
(d) Upon reasonable prior notice, Seller shall afford Purchaser and authorized representatives of Purchaser reasonable access, at reasonable times, to the Real Property for the purposes of performing tests and inspections and satisfying Purchaser with respect to the Real Property. Purchaser shall notify Seller of its intention or the intention of its authorized agents or representatives to enter upon the Real Property at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to such intended entry and to obtain Seller’s prior consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to such inspections, tests and studies to be conducted. At Seller’s option, Seller may be present for any inspections, tests or studies. Purchaser shall bear the cost of all such inspections, tests and studies. In conducting any inspections, tests or studies, Purchaser and its authorized agents and representatives shall (i) comply with all terms of the Leases regarding entry rights and obligations of Seller to tenants, (ii) not unreasonably disturb the tenants or unreasonably interfere with their use of the Real Property pursuant to their respective Leases, (iii) not unreasonably interfere with the operation, use and maintenance of the Real Property, (iv) not damage any part of the Real Property or any personal property owned or held by any tenant or any third party, (v) not injure or otherwise cause bodily harm to Seller or any of its agents, contractors and employees or any tenant or other third party, (vi) promptly pay when due the cost of all inspections, tests or studies, (vii) not permit any liens to attach to the Real Property by reason of the exercise of the rights under this Section, (viii) repair damage to the real Property to the extent that the damage was caused by Purchaser’s inspection activities, and (ix) not conduct any invasive testing without the prior consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 8(d), Seller recognizes that Purchaser’s affiliate operates as the Property Manager on the Property, thus nothing herein shall limit the reasonable access of the Property Manager.
8
(e) From the date hereof, Seller shall promptly provide notice to Purchaser upon any discovery that may lead to any of Seller’s representations and warranties being incomplete, inaccurate or in any manner not completely true and correct as of the Closing Date, including, without limitation, any matter which if uncured prior to the Closing Date would have such effect, even if Seller intends to cure, correct or remedy such matter prior to the Closing and it is implementing such cure, correction or remedy. If Purchaser determines in good faith that the disclosed item(s) contained in any such notice represents an impairment in the value of the Property or an increase in cost or potential risk to Purchaser, then Purchaser may elect, in its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement. In the event of the exercise by Purchaser of any such right of termination, Purchaser and Seller shall be released from all further liability or obligation hereunder, except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to proceed with Closing then Seller shall have no further monetary obligations with respect to the effect of such disclosed item(s) on Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein.

The risk of loss relating to the Property prior to Closing shall be borne by Seller. If, prior to the Closing, the Property is partially or totally destroyed or damaged by fire or other casualty, or is taken by eminent domain or through condemnation proceedings, then Purchaser may, at its option, determine not to acquire the Property.

Insurance on the Property shall be cancelled as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, and thereafter Purchaser shall be solely responsible for all risk of loss relating to the Property.

12. ADJUSTMENTS AND PRORATIONS.
(a) Prorations. All income and expenses of the Property shall be apportioned as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, with Purchaser being deemed to be the owner of its Undivided Interest in the Property during the entire day on which the Closing Date occurs and being entitled to receive its share of all revenue of the Property, and being obligated to pay its share of all expenses of the Property, with respect to such day. All prorations and apportionments hereunder shall be based upon Seller’s Undivided Interest in the Property.
(i) Such prorated items shall include the following:
(A) all rents and any other income with respect to the Property received by the Closing Date, if any, and for the month in which the Closing occurs. Such proration of rents shall be based on a rent roll updated by Seller not less than one (1) day prior to the Closing Date;
(B) taxes and assessments (including personal property taxes) levied against the Property;
(C) subject to rights under Leases regarding payments or prorations of utility payments by tenants (which will be governed by the rent proration provision described in Section 12(a)(i)(A) above), utility charges for which Seller is liable, if any, such charges to be apportioned at the Closing on the basis of the most recent meter reading occurring prior to the Closing (dated not more than fifteen (15) days prior to the Closing) or, if unmetered, on the basis of a current xxxx for each such utility;
(D) any other operating expenses or other items pertaining to the Property which are customarily prorated between a transferor and transferee of real estate in the county in which the Property is located.
13
(ii) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 12, the following shall apply:
(A) Except as provided in the following sentence, all delinquent real estate taxes and assessments shall be paid by Seller at or before the Closing, together with any interest, penalties or other fees related to any delinquent taxes. In determining prorations relating to non-delinquent taxes, Purchaser shall be credited with an amount equal to the real estate taxes and assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date, to the extent such amount has not been actually paid by Seller. In the event that Seller has paid prior to the Closing any real estate taxes or assessments related to the Property applicable to the period after the Closing Date, Seller shall be entitled to a credit for such amount. In connection with the re-proration of real estate taxes and assessments for which a credit was given or a proration was made at the Closing, the parties shall adjust the differences between them promptly upon demand being made therefor by either Seller or Purchaser. If, after the Closing, any additional real estate taxes or assessments applicable to the period prior to the Closing Date are levied for any reason, including back assessments or escape assessments, then Seller shall pay all such additional amounts. If, after the Closing, Seller or Purchaser receive any property tax refunds regarding any Property relating to a period prior to the Closing, then that portion of the refunds related to a period prior to the Closing that is required to be refunded to any tenant of the Property shall be delivered to or retained by, as the case may be, Purchaser for the purpose of making such refund payments with the remaining portion of such refunds retained by or delivered to, as the case may be, Seller. Purchaser shall pay all supplemental taxes resulting from the change in ownership and reassessment occurring as the result of the Closing pursuant to this Agreement;
(B) Charges referred to in Section 12.2(a)(i)(C) which are payable by any tenant directly to a third party shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Purchaser shall accept title subject to any of such charges unpaid and Purchaser shall look solely to the tenant responsible therefor for the payment of such charges. As to utilities and other operating expenses for which Seller is responsible, Seller may upon notice to Purchaser elect to pay one or more of all of said items accrued to the date fixed for apportionment pursuant to this Agreement directly to the person or entity entitled thereto, and to the extent Seller so elects, such item shall not be apportioned hereunder, and Seller’s obligation to pay such item directly in such case shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement;
(C) Purchaser shall take all steps necessary to effectuate the transfer of all utilities to the name of Purchaser as of Closing, where necessary, post deposits with the utility companies, and provide Seller with written evidence of the transfer at or prior to Closing. Seller shall be entitled to recover any and all deposits held by any utility company as of the Closing Date;
(D) Unpaid rent from a tenant delinquent at Closing collected by Purchaser or Seller after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any such unpaid delinquent rent, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of the Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any such unpaid delinquent rent, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent to which Seller are entitled hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. The parties agree that (i) all rent received by Seller or Purchaser within the first thirty (30) day period after the date of Closing from a tenant delinquent at Closing shall be applied first to delinquent rent, if any, in the order of their maturity, and then to current rent, and (ii) all rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the first thirty (30) day period after the date of Closing from a tenant delinquent at Closing shall be applied first to current rent and then to delinquent rent, if any, in the inverse order of maturity. Purchaser will endeavor after Closing to collect all rents in the usual course of Purchaser’s operation of the Property, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other collection procedures to collect delinquent rents, except in Purchaser’s sole discretion;
(E) After Closing, Seller shall be responsible for preparing a reconciliation of common area maintenance (the “CAM”) payments made by tenants under the Leases for calendar year 2011 and prior to Closing, in accordance with the Leases. To the extent CAM payments made by tenants on or after [ ] and prior to Closing (the “Pre-Closing Payments”) exceed common area expenses for the Property paid by Seller during such period, as reasonably determined by Purchaser after the Closing, Seller will pay such excess amounts to Purchaser within fifteen (15) days after such determination is made and written notice thereof is provided by Purchaser to Seller. To the extent the Pre-Closing Payments are less than the common area expenses for the Property paid by Seller during such period, as reasonably determined by Purchaser after the Closing, Purchaser will pay such amounts to Seller within fifteen (15) days after such determination is made and written notice thereof is provided by Purchaser to Seller. Purchaser shall make such determination as soon as possible after the Closing and in all events on or before the date required under the Leases;
14
(F) The net proration credit to or charge against Seller on account of the prorations adjustments to be made upon the Closing shall be reflected through an adjustment to cash portion of the Purchase Consideration. Any other proration adjustments made following the Closing shall be made in cash; and

Either party owing the other party a sum of money based on such subsequent proration(s) shall promptly pay said sum to the other party, with interest per annum at the prime rate of interest as set forth in The Wall Street Journal, plus 2% from the Closing Date to the date of payment if payment is not made within ten (10) business days after delivery of a xxxx therefor. Once all revenue and expense amounts have been finally and completely ascertained, Purchaser shall prepare a final proration statement which shall be conclusively deemed to be accurate and final absent manifest error.

Seller shall pay (a) the costs of recording any termination, reconveyances and releases required to clear title to the Property pursuant to this Agreement, and (b) Seller’s attorneys’ fees. Purchaser shall pay (a) all realty transfer taxes imposed on the Special Warranty Deed, (b) all of the Escrow Agent charges and fees, (c) the costs of recording the Special Warranty Deed, (d) the costs of the Title Commitment (as updated) and the Title Policy, including any endorsements thereto and (e) Purchaser’s attorneys fees. Seller and Purchaser shall each pay their respective attorneys’ fees. If escrow fails to Close due to Purchaser’s default under this Agreement, Purchaser shall be responsible for all escrow cancellation and title charges. If escrow fails to Close due to Seller’s default under this Agreement, Seller shall pay any escrow cancellation and title charges.
14. POSSESSION.
Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Purchaser at Closing, free and clear of all liens and claims other than Permitted Exceptions and the rights of the tenants, as tenants only with no purchase rights of any kind or nature except as may be set forth in the Leases, identified on the Lease List, in the same condition as it exists on the date of this Agreement, ordinary wear and tear excepted and except as provided in Sections 10 hereof.

The arbitrability of any Arbitrable Claims under this Agreement shall be resolved in accordance with a two-step dispute resolution process administered by Judicial Arbitration & Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) involving, first, mediation before a retired judge from the JAMS panel, followed, if necessary, by final and binding arbitration before the same, or if requested by either party, another JAMS panelist. Such dispute resolution process shall be confidential and shall be conducted in accordance with applicable California law.
15
(c) Mediation. In the event any Arbitrable Claim is not resolved by an informal negotiation between the parties within fifteen (15) days after either party receives written notice that an Arbitrable Claim exists, the matter shall be referred to the Orange County office of JAMS, or any other office agreed to by the parties, for an informal, non-binding mediation consisting of one or more conferences between the parties in which a retired judge will seek to guide the parties to a resolution of the Arbitrable Claims. The parties shall select a mutually acceptable neutral arbitrator from among the JAMS panel of mediators.
