If any supplement to the PTR that may be issued from time to time by the Title Company discloses any new or additional exceptions from the exceptions shown on the PTR, other than liens or encumbrances placed or allowed to exist by Seller which Seller shall be obligated to remove, Buyer shall approve or disapprove, in its sole and absolute discretion, such new exceptions within five (5) business days after Buyer receives written notice of such new exception(s), unless such exception arises from the acts or omissions of Buyer, in which case Buyer shall be responsible for removing such exception and/or shall be required to take title subject to such exception.

If Buyer disapproves or is deemed to disapprove any such new exception(s), then the provisions of Paragraph 2.6.3 shall apply; unless such new exception (i) is not an exception created by or caused by Seller or (ii) is an exception which arises in connection with the Entitlements, in which case the provisions of Paragraph 2.6.1 shall apply.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Close of Escrow is subject to a number of conditions under this Agreement and that in the event the Buyer does not purchase the Property, Seller may be subject to such Entitlements (and any conditions placed thereon) as have been obtained prior to the termination of this Agreement. As such, with respect to the Entitlements: (x) Seller shall have the right to review and reasonably approve all such applications and other submissions, and (y) Seller shall have the right to review and reasonably approve all conditions of approval

proposed by any governmental agency with respect to any Entitlements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall only have a right to withhold such approvals in subparagraphs 3.5.1(x) or (y) if the Entitlements would materially interfere with Seller’s ability to operate on the Property prior to the Close of Escrow or would materially and adversely impact the value of the Property with respect to a proposed residential development if Buyer fails to proceed to the Close of Escrow.

If at any time after Buyer has approved the Feasibility Matters Buyer determines, in its reasonable discretion, that Buyer will not be able to obtain the Approved Entitlements under terms and conditions satisfactory to Buyer, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder. Upon such termination (a) if such termination occurs during the first twelve (12) months following the Agreement Seller shall return (or Escrow Holder shall deliver) to Buyer the full amount of the Deposit, and if such termination occurs after the date that is twelve (12) months following the Agreement Date, Seller shall return (or Escrow Holder shall deliver to Buyer) the full amount of the Deposit, less Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), which amount Seller shall be entitled to retain, (b) the Escrow shall be automatically terminated and of no force and effect, (c) Buyer and Seller shall each pay one-half (1/2) of any Escrow termination fees, (d) Seller shall have no further obligation to sell to Buyer, and Buyer shall have no further obligation to purchase, the Property, and (e) this Agreement shall terminate and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except as provided in Paragraphs 3.4 and 6 of this Agreement.

3.6. Seller’s Pre-Closing Obligations; Condition of Property. Seller has disclosed to Buyer that the Property is listed on the National Priorities List (“NPL”) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act, 42 USC 9601, et seq. (“CERCLA”) and is subject to a Consent Decree filed on July 16, 1991 (“Consent Decree”) and a Record of Decision (“ROD”) dated June 29, 1990 entered into by WJ Communications, Inc. (formerly Xxxxxxx-Xxxxxxx Company, or “WJ”) and the Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) pursuant to CERCLA. Seller represents and based on that representation, Buyer acknowledges that the Property is undergoing remediation initially funded by WJ pursuant to a Guaranteed Fixed Price Remediation Agreement dated June 25, 1999 by and between Aviza Technology, Inc. (as assignee of the rights and obligations of Silicon Valley Group, Inc.), Arcadis Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx (“Arcadis”) and WJ (“Remediation Agreement”). The Consent Decree, ROD and Remediation Agreement are collectively referred to herein as the “Permitted Environmental Exceptions”.

3.6.1. Environmental Condition. Seller covenants in conjunction with its execution of this Agreement that it shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause all of the following to occur on or before the Closing Date: (i) the performance of all remediation work necessary to remove the Property from the NPL, (ii) the performance of all other investigation, characterization, restoration, remedial work and/or other activities that may be required in connection with such removal (including, without limitation, either abandonment of xxxxx on or relating to the Property in a manner acceptable to the EPA or the removal of such xxxxx as approved by the EPA), and

(iii) to the extent required by Environmental Laws (as defined in Exhibit D attached hereto) or any governmental agency asserting jurisdiction over the or relating to the Property, to obtain a “no further action” letter, closure letter or similar written determination from such governmental agency or agencies (which may or may not include the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, California Regional Water Quality Control Board or Santa Xxxx County Health Department) (“Agencies”) that no further investigation or remediation and/or monitoring is required in connection with the Property and that the Property is suitable for unrestricted residential use. The items set forth in subparagraphs (i) to (iii) of this Paragraph 3.6.1 shall be referred to herein as the “Environmental Condition”. As between Buyer and Seller, Seller shall be solely responsible for satisfying the Environmental Condition and all obligations related thereto regardless of whether Seller can complete such items prior to the Closing Date. Seller shall defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Buyer), indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from any and all actions, costs, damages, expenses, liabilities, losses (including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees) relating to or arising in connection with Seller’s failure to perform the Environmental Condition. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Environmental Condition shall not require that all of the terms and conditions of the Consent Decree and ROD be deemed satisfied by the EPA and the federal courts by the Closing Date, nor shall it require that post-remediation monitoring be completed by the Closing Date, provided the Environmental Condition is satisfied. WJ and its consultants shall have access to the Property post-closing in order to perform any required post-remediation monitoring or other activities to address any Hazardous Materials pursuant to a separate license and indemnity agreement. All work performed pursuant to this Paragraph 3.6 shall be completed in accordance with all Environmental Laws and all other federal, state and local laws, statutes and ordinances. The provisions of this Paragraph 3.6 shall survive the Close of Escrow.

3.6.2. Insurance. Prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to arrange (at Seller’s sole cost and expense) for Buyer to be added as a named insured to all policies of insurance relating to Hazardous Materials presently or formerly at, on, under or emanating from the Property in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.

3.6.3. Other Environmental Matters. Seller and Buyer agree and acknowledge that additional Hazardous Materials (as defined on Exhibit D attached hereto) other than those identified or required to be addressed to satisfy the Environmental Condition may be located on the physical improvements on the Property (“Other Hazardous Materials”). Seller and Buyer agree that, in the event of the Close of Escrow, Buyer and not Seller shall be responsible for the lead paint and asbestos containing materials on the Property as part of the demolition of those improvements.

3.6.4. Access Agreement. Prior to Closing, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate an access agreement in mutually acceptable form, permitting Seller, Arcadis, WJ or any of their agents, representatives or consultants access to the Property to perform work related to the Environmental Condition.

3.7. Construction License. Provided Buyer has delivered the Second Deposit, Seller shall, in good faith, in its sole discretion, approve Buyer’s request to enter into a Construction License and Indemnity Agreement (the “License Agreement”) in such form as may be mutually acceptable to Buyer and Seller. Buyer’s indemnity obligations, and other obligations under the License Agreement which state that they so survive, shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS.

4.1. Seller’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. In addition to the representations, warranties and covenants of Seller contained in other paragraphs of this Agreement, Seller hereby represents, warrants and covenants to Buyer as follows, all of which shall survive the Close of Escrow, and any investigation or knowledge of Buyer prior to the Close of Escrow:

4.1.1. Seller is a Delaware corporation, duly organized and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and duly authorized to do business in the State of California. Seller has the full right, capacity, power and authority to enter into and carry out the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized and entered into by Seller and the parties signing on behalf of Seller, and upon delivery to and execution by Buyer, shall be a valid and binding agreement of Seller. Seller has not alienated, encumbered, transferred, leased, assigned or otherwise conveyed its interest in the Property or any portion thereof except as set forth in the PTR, nor entered into any Agreement to do so, nor shall Seller do so prior to the Close of Escrow. The entering into and performance by Seller of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will not violate or breach any agreement, covenant or obligation binding on Seller, and there is no consent required from any third party before the Property may be conveyed to Buyer.

4.1.2. To Seller’s knowledge, there are no mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or similar claims or liens now asserted against the Property for work performed or commenced prior to the date hereof; and Seller shall timely satisfy and discharge any and all obligations relating to work performed on or conducted at or materials delivered to the Property from time to time in order to prevent the filing of any claim or mechanic’s lien with respect thereto.

4.1.3. Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports attached hereto as Exhibit I Seller has not and, to Seller’s knowledge, no third party has used, generated, transported, discharged, released, manufactured, stored or disposed of any Hazardous Material from, into, at, on, under or about the Property in violation of any Environmental Law. Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports attached hereto as Exhibit I, to Seller’s knowledge, (a) the Property is not in violation, nor has been or is currently under investigation for violation of any Environmental Law; (b) there has been no migration of any Hazardous Material from, into, at, on, under or about the Property in violation of any Environmental Law; and (c) there is not now, nor has there ever been on or in the Property underground storage tanks or surface or below-grade impoundments used to store, treat or handle Hazardous Materials or debris or refuse

buried in, on or under the Property. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Hazardous Substance” shall be defined as set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto.

4.1.4. To Seller’s knowledge, other than the documents identified as the Permitted Environmental Exceptions, there is no suit, action or arbitration, or legal, administrative, or other proceeding or governmental investigation, formal or informal, including but not limited to eminent domain, condemnation, assessment district or zoning change proceeding, pending or threatened, or any judgment or moratorium directly and adversely affecting the Property or Buyer’s anticipated development of the Property, or which adversely affects Seller’s ability to perform hereunder.

4.1.5. Seller is not in default under the provisions of any deed of trust or other encumbrance, lien or restriction on the Property which would permit foreclosure on the Property by a third party.

4.1.6. Other than commitments contained in the documents identified as the Permitted Environmental Exceptions, Seller has not made any commitment or representation to any government authority, or any adjoining or surrounding property owner, which would in any way be binding on Buyer or would materially interfere with Buyer’s ability to develop and improve the Property as a residential development. Seller will not make any such commitment or representation which would materially and adversely affect the Property or any portion thereof prior to the Close of Escrow (other than such commitments that shall terminate on or prior to Closing), without Buyer’s written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

4.1.7. Seller and any entity or person that owns or controls Seller are not bankrupt or insolvent under any applicable Federal or state standard, have not filed for protection or relief under any applicable bankruptcy or creditor protection statute and have not been threatened by creditors with an involuntary application of any applicable bankruptcy or creditor protection statute. Seller is not entering into the transactions described in this Agreement with an intent to defraud any creditor or to prefer the rights of one creditor over any other. Seller and Buyer have negotiated this Agreement at arms length and the consideration paid represents fair value for the assets to be transferred.

4.1.8. Other than documents identified as the Permitted Environmental Exceptions, there are no leases, rental agreements nor other contracts of any kind or nature entered into by Seller affecting the Property and Seller shall not enter into any such contracts during the term of this Agreement which cannot be terminated on or prior to Closing, without the prior written consent of Buyer which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Each of the representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement, or in any Exhibit or on any document or instrument delivered pursuant hereto, shall be true and correct in all material respects on the date hereof, and shall be deemed to be made again as of the Close of Escrow, and shall then be true and correct in all material respects; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in

this Agreement, in the event of any breach of Paragraphs 4.1.3 or 4.1.4 hereof after the date hereof and prior to the Close of Escrow, Buyer’s sole recourse shall be pursuant to Paragraphs 2.3.1c) and 2.6.1 above. Seller shall have the right to update disclosures on Paragraphs 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 until that date which is ten (10) days before the date of the Close of Escrow, including updating the documents listed on Exhibit I attached hereto (“Diligence Update”), Seller acting in good faith at all times prior to the Close of Escrow to provide prompt disclosures; provided that any matter disclosed in a Diligence Update provided on or after the date of expiration of the Feasibility Period and prior to the Close of Escrow: (i) shall not be deemed a breach of representation for the purposes of Paragraph 2.6.3 hereof, and (ii) shall be ignored for the purposes of Buyer’s closing conditions and remedies set forth in Section 2.3.1c) and 2.6.1 above.

Seller shall notify Buyer immediately of any facts or circumstances which are contrary to the foregoing representations and warranties contained in this Paragraph 4.1. The representations and warranties set forth in Paragraph 4.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of two (2) years. For the purposes of this Paragraph 4.1 “to Seller’s knowledge” shall mean the knowledge of Xxxxxxx X’Xxxxxx, Chief Financial Officer of the Seller and Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Director of IT and Facilities of the Seller. Seller represents and warrants that the individuals listed in the previous sentence have the most knowledge about the Property.
