2.2.6 Independent Consideration.

3.1.2 Due Diligence Investigation. During the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall have the right to conduct at its sole cost and expense such investigations, studies, surveys, analyses and tests of the Property as it shall in its sole discretion determine are necessary or desirable (the “Due Diligence Investigation”). This investigation may include a physical inspection of the Property, including, but not limited to, inspection and examination of soils, environmental factors, if any, archeological information relating to the Property, geological and other tests; a review and investigation of any zoning, permits, reports, and engineering data; review of all governmental matters affecting the Property (subject to the limitation set forth in Section 3.1.6 below); review of roofing, structural, mechanical, seismic and security systems in the Building; review of the condition or title to the Property; review of material documents relating to the ownership and operation of the Property; and review of such other matters pertaining to an investment in the Property as Buyer deems advisable.

The Security Review shall be coordinated through and attended by Seller’s authorized representative.

3.1.3 Access/Conditions. To conduct its Due Diligence Investigation, Buyer and its representatives shall have the right of access to the Property during reasonable business hours and upon at least one (1) business days’ prior notice. Such access shall be coordinated through Seller’s authorized representative, Roger Wang, P.E., EFI Director of Facilities (telephone number: 650 ###-###-####), or any other individual designated by Roger Wang, and Seller may require all such access to be in the company of Seller’s authorized representative. This right of entry shall be subject to the following conditions:

(a) The Due Diligence Investigation shall be conducted in full compliance with each law, zoning restriction, ordinance, rule, regulation or requirement of any governmental or quasi governmental agency (“Governmental Entity”) with jurisdiction over the Property. Buyer shall not interfere with Seller’s business and shall make every reasonable effort to accommodate the requests of Seller, tenants of the Property and any other occupants of the Property regarding conduct of the investigation so as to minimize interference with business operations at the Property.

(b) Prior to entering the Property to perform its Due Diligence Investigation of the Property or the Security Review, Buyer shall provide to Seller a certificate of insurance showing that Buyer maintains in full force and effect, a policy of comprehensive general liability insurance (i) covering the activities of Buyer (including Buyer’s employees, independent contractors and agents) in connection with the Due Diligence Investigation, (ii) in an amount of not less than Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence from a carrier rated A- or better by Best’s Rating Guide, (iii) naming Seller, its officers, directors, lenders, agents and employees as additional insureds, and (iv) requiring at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Seller prior to cancellation or reduction in coverage.

Seller’s authorized representative and Seller’s environmental consultants may attend any test or investigation at the Property and shall be entitled, without cost, to duplicates of any samples taken by Buyer (or, if duplicates are not reasonably attainable, Buyer may elect to deliver the actual samples after testing) and to copies of all written reports and data prepared by or on behalf of Buyer with respect to such sampling. Any request for consent must be delivered to Seller and its authorized representative, together with a reasonably detailed investigation plan sufficient for Seller to determine the scope and logistics of the proposed investigation, at least three (3) business days before the desired test. Any invasive sampling or testing permitted by Seller shall be performed at Buyer’s sole cost in compliance with all environmental laws and other requirements of Governmental Entities. Depending on the nature of the invasive testing or sampling, Seller may require an increase in the amount of insurance specified in Section 3.1.3(b). If in the course of its investigation, Buyer discovers any environmental condition which Buyer or its consultants or contractors believes should be reported to any Governmental Entity, Buyer shall provide to Seller full information regarding the discovery, and Seller shall assume any and all reporting obligations and shall indemnify, defend and hold Buyer, its employees, authorized agents, consultants, contractors and representatives harmless from any and all claims, Liens, demands, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, reasonable costs of defense, and reasonable costs and expenses of all experts and consultants) (collectively referred to as “Claims”) arising directly or indirectly, in whole or in part, out of any failure of Seller to fulfill such reporting obligations, if any. If a Phase I environmental investigation report obtained during the Due Diligence Period suggests that sampling is recommended, and if Seller consents to such testing in accordance with this Section 3.1.3(d), Buyer may have additional time to review and approve in its sole and unfettered discretion the environmental condition of the Property (the “Environmental Due Diligence Investigation”) for such additional period of time (the “Environmental Diligence Period”) as is reasonably required to obtain permits for such testing and to obtain the results and analysis thereof; provided that (i) Buyer has approved all other matters relating to the Property other than the Property’s environmental condition prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and (ii) in no event shall the Environmental Diligence Period extend beyond the date that is ten (10) business days prior to the Outside Closing Date (as defined in Section 9.1).

(e) Promptly after any physical inspection of the Property, if any damage to the Property has resulted from such physical inspection, Buyer at its sole cost shall restore the Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such inspection; provided that, if the Closing does not occur for any reason, then Seller may elect to restore the Property itself and to charge the cost thereof to Buyer (who shall pay the amount due within thirty (30) days after delivery of an invoice from Seller).

(f) Buyer shall not permit any mechanics’ or other Liens to be filed against the Property as a result of Buyer exercising its right of entry, and Buyer at its sole cost shall cause any Liens (as defined in Section 5.9) so filed to be removed within five (5) days after written notice from Seller, by bond or otherwise.

If either party breaches its obligations under this Agreement, the non-breaching party shall give the breaching party written notice of such breach , and the opportunity to cure such breach for a period of five (5) business days after delivery of the notice of breach with respect to a monetary breach, or fifteen (15) business days after delivery of the notice of breach with respect to a non-monetary breach.

11.3 Buyer’s Remedies Prior to Closing.

(a) If Seller is in default or breach of the Agreement (and Buyer is not then in breach of the Agreement), such default or breach becomes actually known to Buyer prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer does not timely provide the Approval Notice, this Agreement shall terminate and Buyer shall be entitled to reimbursement from Seller of the documented costs of its Due Diligence Investigation, up to a maximum amount of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000). If Buyer timely delivers the Approval Notice, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all defaults or breaches by Seller actually known to Buyer prior to expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

(b) Notwithstanding Section 7.1.3, if, after expiration of the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Closing, Seller is in breach or default of the Agreement (and Buyer is not then in breach of the Agreement) and such breach or default was not actually known by Buyer during the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be entitled to all remedies for Seller’s breaches, whether at law or in equity (including, without limitation, terminating the Agreement, closing Escrow and recovering damages and/or seeking specific performance), subject to the limitations set forth in Section 11.6.

11.4 Seller’s Remedies Prior to Closing. In the event of Buyer’s material default, provided Seller is not then in breach of this Agreement, Seller shall have the option to terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit as liquidated damages, pursuant to Section 2.2.5.

11.5 Release from Escrow. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 11.3 and 11.4, the Title Company shall promptly return to Buyer and Seller, respectively, all documents and monies deposited by them into escrow, subject to Seller’s right to retain the Deposit pursuant to Sections 2.2.5. and 11.4.

11.6 Seller’s Default after Closing; Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding Section 7.1.3, if Seller is in breach of its obligations under this Agreement, including without limitation an uncured breach of any of Seller’s representations and warranties under this Agreement and such breach becomes known to Buyer after expiration of the Due Diligence Period, or if any other Seller breach occurs or is discovered after the Closing of Escrow, then notwithstanding any provision to the contrary herein: (i) Seller’s maximum aggregate liability, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (whether the claim is brought in contract, tort, equity or otherwise) and including any amounts for attorney’s and experts’ fees and costs shall under no circumstances whatsoever exceed Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) and (ii) no claim by Buyer alleging a default by Seller may be made, and Seller shall have no liability for the same, unless and until such claims, either alone or together with any other claims made by Buyer under this Agreement, is for an aggregate amount in excess of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000) (“Threshold Amount”), in which event Seller’s liability respecting any final judgment concerning such claim(s) shall be for the full amount thereof. If any such final judgment is for an amount less than the Threshold Amount, then Seller shall have no liability with respect to such claim(s). In no event shall Buyer have any claims for lost opportunity, lost profits or other damages of a consequential, special or indirect nature. The provisions of this Section 11.6 shall survive the Closing.

 

Section 12. DAMAGE, DESTRUCTION AND CONDEMNATION

If the condemnation, destruction or damage does not result in a Material Loss, then Seller and Buyer shall consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement notwithstanding such condemnation, destruction or damage. If the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is consummated, Buyer shall receive all condemnation proceeds and/or proceeds of insurance under all policies of insurance applicable to the destruction or damage of the Property together with any deductible amounts which shall be paid by Seller to Buyer, and Seller shall, at Closing, execute and deliver to Buyer all customary proofs of loss and other similar items. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement in accordance with this Section 12, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 12, a “Material Loss” means condemnation, damage or destruction that is reasonably estimated to cost or be valued at (as the case may be) more than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, Buyer shall not be obligated to instruct Escrow Holder to record the Quitclaim if Buyer asserts that there is a breach or default by Seller under this Agreement with respect to which Buyer has the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligation to convey title to the Property to Buyer.
