Except as provided in Section 6.1, Seller is not liable or bound in any manner by any oral or written statements, representations, or information pertaining to the Property or to the operation thereof furnished by any real estate broker, agent, employee, servant or other person. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that to the maximum extent permitted by law, the sale of the Property, as provided for herein, is made on an as-is condition and basis with all faults and that Seller has no obligation to make repairs, replacements or improvements except as may otherwise be expressly stated herein. Effective as of the Closing, Buyer and anyone claiming by, through, or under Buyer, hereby fully and irrevocably release Seller, Seller’s agents, employees, and affiliates, and their respective employees, agents, representatives, successors and assigns, from any and all claims that Buyer may now have or hereafter acquire for any action, cause of action, cost, damage, demand, expense (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees and expenses), fine, judgment, liability, lien, loss, or penalty, whether foreseen or unforeseen, direct or indirect, arising from or related to the condition of the Property, including, without limitation, the presence of Hazardous Substances (collectively, “Released Claims”); however, the Released Claims do not include any of Seller’s obligations or representations expressly stated in this Agreement or Seller’s fraud or misrepresentation. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that this release shall be given full force and effect according to each of its express terms and provisions, including, but not limited to, those relating to unknown and suspected claims, damages, and causes of action. This waiver shall be deemed given at the Closing. Buyer hereby acknowledges that Buyer has read and is familiar with the provisions of California Civil Code section 1542 (“Section 1542”), which is set forth below:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

By initialing below, effective as of the Closing, Buyer hereby waives the provisions of Section 1542 solely in connection with the matters that are the subject of the foregoing waivers and releases:

TSN      Buyer’s Initials

6.4 Survival of Covenants, Representations and Warranties. Subject to the limitation below, all of the covenants, representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 6.1 shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Deed. In the event that after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing (1) Buyer discovers any material misrepresentation of Seller or any material breach of Seller’s representations or warranties hereunder (excluding any misrepresentation amounting to fraud) or (2) a change in circumstances occurs that causes one or more of Seller’s representations above to be materially untrue, then, for a period of 10 days following the discovery, Buyer shall have the right, as Buyer’s sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement, and, if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement, the following shall apply:

(i) Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit and any interest thereon.

(ii) All title and escrow charges shall be paid by Seller.

(iii) If Buyer elects to terminate based upon clause (1) above (i.e., a material misrepresentation or material breach of Seller’s representations or warranties), then Buyer may recover from Seller all reasonable costs incurred by Buyer during the course of Buyer’s review and investigation of the Property, provided that Seller’s liability for such costs shall not exceed $50,000.00.

If, notwithstanding Buyer’s discovery of a misrepresentation of Seller or a change of circumstances, Buyer elects to affirm this Agreement and proceed with the Closing, such election shall, upon the Closing, constitute a waiver by Buyer of any and all claims relating to such misrepresentation of Seller or change of circumstances. If, after the Closing, Buyer discovers a breach of any representation or warranty in Section 6.1, then any action by Buyer for breach of such representation or warranty under Section 6.1 must be commenced within one year after the Closing.

(a) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall not execute any agreement affecting the Real Property or amend, modify, renew, extend or terminate any of the Permits in any respect without the prior approval of Buyer, which approval may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, however, from and after the expiration of the Property Approval Period in the event that Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property, such approval shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of Buyer. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall manage, operate, maintain and repair the Real Property and the Personal Property in the ordinary course of business in accordance with sound property management practice to the extent required under the Lease, perform Seller’s obligations under the Lease, comply with the Permits and all covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances applicable to the Real Property or the Personal Property, keep the Permits in force, immediately give Buyer copies of all notices received by Seller asserting any violation of the Permits or any covenants, conditions, restrictions, laws, statutes, rules, regulations or ordinances applicable to the Real Property or the Personal Property, and perform when due all of Seller’s obligations under the Permits and all applicable laws. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall keep in force property insurance covering all buildings, structures, improvements, machinery, fixtures and equipment included in the Real Property insuring against all risks of physical loss or damage, subject to standard exclusions, in an amount equal to the actual replacement cost (without deduction for depreciation) of such buildings, structures, improvements, machinery, fixtures and equipment.

(b) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall not use, produce, process, manufacture, generate, treat, handle, store or dispose of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Real Property, or use the Real Property for any such purposes, or Release any Hazardous Substances into any air, soil, surface water or groundwater comprising the Real Property, or permit any person using or occupying the Real Property or any part thereof to do any of the foregoing. Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall comply with, and shall cause all persons using or occupying the Real Property or any part thereof to comply with, all Environmental Laws applicable to the Real Property, or the use or occupancy thereof, or any operations or activities therein or thereon. Immediately after Seller obtains any information indicating that any Hazardous Substances may be present or any Release or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances may have occurred in, on or under the Real Property (or any nearby real property which could migrate to the Real Property) or that any violation of any Environmental Laws may have occurred at the Real Property, Seller shall give written notice thereof to Buyer with a reasonably detailed description of the event, occurrence or condition in question. Seller shall immediately furnish to Buyer copies of all written communications received by Seller from any person (including notices, complaints, claims or citations that any Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances or any violation of any Environmental Laws has actually or allegedly occurred) or given by Seller to any person concerning any past or present Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances in, on

(d) Subject to the limitation in Section 6.4, Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer against and hold Buyer harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be suffered or incurred by Buyer if any representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 6.1 hereof was untrue or incorrect in any respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Seller of any such representation or warranty.

(e) Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer against and hold Buyer harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from or based on any failure by Seller to perform all obligations of Seller in accordance with the Permits before the Closing Date, or any breach, default or violation by Seller (or any event by Seller or condition which, after notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach, default or violation by Seller) under the Permits that occurs before the Closing Date, or any condition, event or circumstance relating to the Real Property that existed or occurred before the Closing Date, or any personal injury or property damage occurring in, on or about the Real Property before the Closing Date.

(f) Seller shall indemnify and defend Buyer against and hold Buyer harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses in any way arising from, relating to or connected with any past or present Release or threatened Release of any Hazardous Substances in, on or under the Real Property or any past or present violation of any Environmental Laws at the Real Property that exists or occurs, or the onset of which exists or occurs, before the Closing Date. The foregoing indemnification shall include all expenses of investigation and monitoring, costs of containment, abatement, removal, repair, cleanup, restoration and remedial work, penalties and fines, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and other response costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller’s obligation under this Section 7.1(f) shall expire on, and no claim for indemnification under this Section 7.1(f) may be made on or after, the first (1^st) anniversary of the Closing.

(g) Between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, Seller shall not in any manner sell, convey, assign, transfer, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Real Property, the Personal Property, the Permits, or any part thereof or interest therein.

7.2 Buyer. Buyer covenants and agrees with Seller as follows:

(a) All representations and warranties made by Buyer in Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing. All of the representations and warranties made by Buyer in Section 6.2 hereof shall be true and correct on and as of the Closing Date.

 

- 13 -

---

(b) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that may be suffered or incurred by Seller if any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Section 6.2 hereof was untrue or incorrect in any respect when made or that may be caused by any breach by Buyer of any such representation or warranty.

(c) Buyer shall indemnify and defend Seller against and hold Seller harmless from all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, arising from or based on any failure by Buyer to perform all obligations of Buyer under the Permits arising or accruing on or after the Closing Date and during Buyer’s ownership of the Property or any breach, default or violation by Buyer (or any event by Buyer or condition which, after notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute a breach, default or violation by Buyer) under the Permits that occurs on or after the Closing Date and during Buyer’s ownership of the Property.

7.3 Casualty Damage.

(a) If the Property suffers a casualty (“Casualty”) and the reasonably estimated cost of repairing damage caused by the Casualty shall equal or exceed $100,000.00 (the “Upset Loss Amount”), Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller within 21 days following written notification to Buyer of the Casualty and Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit as provided in Section 2.2 above. If the Property shall suffer a Casualty, but only to such an extent that the reasonably estimated cost of repairing such damage shall be less than the Upset Loss Amount, then (1) Seller shall, at its sole expense, promptly proceed to repair the Property to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, (2) neither Seller nor Buyer shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement by reason of such Casualty, and (3) at Buyer’s option, either (i) the Closing Date shall be extended for a period equal to the lesser of (a) 30 days, or (b) the time reasonably required to effect such repairs or (ii) the Closing shall occur without delay and Seller shall complete the repairs following the Closing.

(b) If a Casualty occurs resulting in reasonable repair costs exceeding the Upset Loss Amount and this Agreement is not so terminated by Buyer as provided in the preceding paragraph, then Seller shall either:

(i) By written notice to Buyer within 10 days following the last date on which Buyer could have so terminated this Agreement, elect not to restore the Property. If Seller elects not to restore the Property, then Buyer shall have the right either to (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within 10 days following Buyer’s receipt of such notice from Seller, as provided for above, whereupon Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Deposit as provided in Section 2.2 above, or (2) consummate the acquisition of the Property in accordance with this Agreement and (i) all rights to insurance proceeds otherwise payable to Seller on account of such Casualty shall be assigned to Buyer at Closing, (ii) Seller shall pay a portion of the cost to repair the damage caused by the casualty equal to the lesser of the Upset Loss Amount or the uninsured portion of the cost of repair (including any deductible amount required to be

 

- 14 -

---

paid under any applicable casualty insurance policy), and (iii) pending Closing, Seller shall not adjust or settle such matters with the insurance carriers without the consent of Buyer; or

(ii) Promptly proceed to repair the Property to substantially the same condition that existed prior to the Casualty, at Seller’s sole expense. If Seller elects to restore the Property, then Buyer shall have either of the following options: (1) the Closing Date shall be extended for a period equal to the lesser of (i) 30 days or (ii) the time reasonably required to effect such repairs or (2) the Closing shall occur without delay, and Seller shall complete the repairs following the Closing.

7.4 Eminent Domain. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate. If, before the Closing Date, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, on the Closing Date, the condemnation award (or, if not theretofore received, the right to receive such award) payable on account of the taking shall be transferred to Buyer. Seller shall give notice to Buyer immediately after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property. Buyer shall have a period of thirty (30) days (or such shorter period as Buyer may elect by giving notice to Seller) after Seller has given the notice to Buyer required by this Section 7.4 to evaluate the extent of the taking and make the determination as to whether to terminate this Agreement. If necessary, the Closing Date shall be postponed until Seller has given the notice to Buyer required by this Section 7.4 and the period of thirty (30) days described in this Section 7.4 has expired.

ARTICLE 8

Conditions Precedent

8.1 Seller. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.1. Seller may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Seller of any of its rights or remedies if Buyer defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement or if Buyer breaches any representation or warranty made by Buyer in Section 6.2 hereof. If any condition set forth in this Section 8.1 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Seller, this Agreement shall terminate, but without releasing Buyer from liability if Buyer defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer or if Buyer breaches any such representation or warranty made by Buyer before such termination.

 

- 15 -

---

(a) On the Closing Date, Buyer shall not be in default in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement.

(b) On the Closing Date, all representations and warranties made by Buyer in Section 6.2 hereof shall be true and correct as if made on and as of the Closing Date.

(c) On the Closing Date, no judicial or administrative suit, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding by any person shall have been instituted against Seller which challenges the validity or legality of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

8.2 Buyer. The obligations of Buyer under this Agreement are subject to satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in this Section 8.2. Buyer may waive any or all of such conditions in whole or in part but any such waiver shall be effective only if made in writing. After the Closing, any such condition that has not been satisfied shall be treated as having been waived in writing. No such waiver shall constitute a waiver by Buyer of any of its rights or remedies if Seller defaults in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller or if Seller breaches any representation or warranty made by Seller in Section 6.1 hereof. If any condition set forth in this Section 8.2 is not fully satisfied or waived in writing by Buyer, this Agreement shall terminate, but without releasing Seller from liability if Seller defaults in the performance of any such covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller or if Seller breaches any such representation or warranty made by Seller before such termination.

(a) On or before the Closing Date, (i) the Board of Directors of Buyer shall have authorized and approved, in the sole and absolute discretion of such Board of Directors, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Buyer, and (ii) Buyer shall have given notice of such authorization and approval to Seller.

(b) On the Closing Date, Seller shall not be in default in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller under this Agreement.

(c) On the Closing Date, no judicial or administrative suit, action, investigation, inquiry or other proceeding by any person shall have been instituted against Buyer which challenges the validity or legality of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(d) On or before the Closing Date, the Title Company shall be unconditionally and irrevocably committed to issue to Buyer an American Land Title Association Owner’s Policy of title insurance, with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price, insuring Buyer that fee simple absolute title to the Real Property is vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, together with such endorsements as requested by Buyer (the “Title Policy”).

9.1 Procedure. Seller and Buyer shall cause the following to occur at the Closing on the Closing Date (except as otherwise provided below):

(a) One (1) original of the Grant Deed, duly executed and acknowledged by Seller and delivered into the Escrow no later than one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, shall be recorded by the Escrow Holder in the Official Records of the County of San Diego, State of California.

(b) Seller shall date as of the Closing Date, execute and deliver into the Escrow no later than one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, (i) one (1) original of the Bill of Sale, (ii) two (2) originals of the Assignment of Permits, (iii) one (1) original Certificate of Non-Foreign Status in accordance with Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder in the form of Exhibit F attached hereto, (iv) two (2) originals of an agreement between Seller and Buyer terminating the Lease effective as of the Closing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Lease Termination”), and (v) a written statement signed by Seller that confirms that during the period from the date of this Agreement to the Closing Date, nothing has occurred (and Seller has not become aware of any facts) that, to Seller’s actual knowledge, causes any of the Seller’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement to be materially untrue and that, to Seller’s actual knowledge, all of the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement remain true and are reconfirmed as of the Closing; however, Seller’s written statement may except any occurrences or facts as to which Seller has, prior to the Closing, delivered to Buyer written notice and, as provided pursuant to Section 6.4 above, Buyer has, nevertheless, elected to proceed with the Closing. The written statement shall be substantially in form and content as Exhibit H attached hereto.

(c) Buyer shall date as of the Closing Date, execute and deliver into the Escrow no later than one (1) business day prior to the Closing Date, (i) two (2) originals of the Assignment of Permits, and (ii) two (2) originals of the Lease Termination.

(d) Buyer shall deposit into the Escrow the balance of the Purchase Price for the Property in accordance with Section 2.1 hereof, plus any additional amounts required pursuant to a Closing Statement (as defined below) approved by Buyer.

(e) The Title Company shall issue to Buyer the Title Policy.

(f) The Escrow Holder shall file the information return for the sale of the Property required by Section 6045 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the Income Tax Regulations thereunder.

9.2 Possession. Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that Buyer is currently in possession of the Real Property under the Lease, and Buyer shall continue to remain in possession of the Real Property effective as of the Closing. If not previously delivered to Buyer, Seller shall deliver originals of the documents described in Section 5.1 hereof, all files, correspondence, maintenance records and operating manuals relating to the Real Property, and

 

- 17 -

---

all keys (properly tagged or identified) to the Real Property to Buyer on the Closing Date. The originals of such documents and such keys shall become the property of Buyer on the Closing Date.

9.3 Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the County documentary transfer tax in respect of the Grant Deed, the City conveyance tax in respect of the Grant Deed, the premium for the CLTA standard coverage provided by the Title Policy, the cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy providing for the removal of any disapproved title exceptions that Seller has agreed to provide, one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee charged by the Escrow Holder, and the recording fee for the Grant Deed. Buyer shall pay the premium for the ALTA extended coverage of the Title Policy, the cost of any endorsements to the Title Policy requested by Buyer (other than endorsements providing for the removal of any disapproved title exceptions that Seller has agreed to provide), and one-half (1/2) of the escrow fee charged by the Escrow Holder. When the Grant Deed is submitted to the Recorder for recordation, Escrow Holder shall, in accordance with California Revenue and Taxation Code Section 11932, request that the amount of the documentary transfer tax due be shown on a separate paper which shall be affixed to the Grant Deed by the Recorder after the permanent record is made and before the Grant Deed is returned to Buyer.

9.4 Prorations. All current base rent, additional rent, reimbursements and other amounts owed under the Lease, determined using the accrual method of accounting, shall be prorated between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date and, to the extent of information then available, such prorations shall be made at the Closing, provided that the parties acknowledge that the Lease and all rental and other obligations thereunder shall be terminated as of the Closing pursuant to the Lease Termination. Since the Lease is a triple-net lease under which Buyer, as lessee, is responsible for payment of taxes, maintenance, and insurance, rent under the Lease is the only matter to be prorated as of the Closing. Buyer shall receive a Purchase Price credit at the Closing in the amount of $51,243.39, which is equal to the security deposit paid under the Lease. Seller and Buyer shall use their best efforts prior to the Closing Date to provide the Escrow Holder with information necessary to prepare a closing statement (“Closing Statement”) covering as many items to be prorated as practicable so such prorations can be made at the Closing. The Closing Statement shall be prepared by the Escrow Holder and delivered to Seller and Buyer no later than three (3) business days before the scheduled Closing Date. Such prorations shall be adjusted, if necessary, and completed after the Closing as soon as final information becomes available. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and to use their best efforts to complete such prorations no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, except for any annual reconciliation of expense reimbursements payable by tenants which cannot be completed until the final accounting for the year has been prepared. Monthly income and expense items shall be prorated on the basis of a thirty (30) day month. Such income and expenses of the Property for the period before the Closing Date shall be for the account of Seller and such income and expenses for the period on and after the Closing Date shall be for the account of Buyer.
