If Sellers are unwilling or unable to remove or cure (by bonding or otherwise) any Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser and the Title Company on or prior to the Closing Date (as the same may be extended as set forth herein), then Purchaser shall have the option, exercisable by written notice delivered to Sellers, of either (y) waiving any such Objections and accepting title to the Property subject to such matter(s), in which event Purchaser shall proceed to Closing or (z) terminating this Agreement, in which event the Deposit will immediately be returned to Purchaser, and thereupon Purchaser and Sellers will have no further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except as otherwise stated herein.

6.2. Title Insurance. It shall be a condition to Purchaser’s obligations to consummate the Closing hereunder that Title Company shall have issued or shall have committed to issue, upon payment of the applicable premium therefor, leasehold title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring that Purchaser has a valid leasehold title to the Real Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions in the form of the Title Commitment (the “Title Policy”). The cost of the Title Policy shall be

allocated as set forth in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 above. If Purchaser desires to procure extended coverage, or any special coverages or any endorsements (or amendments) to the Title Policy, it may do so at its own cost and expense; provided that (a) such additional coverages shall be at no cost or additional liability to Sellers, (b) Purchaser’s obligations hereunder shall not be conditioned upon Purchaser’s ability to obtain such additional coverages, (c) if Purchaser is unable to obtain such additional coverages with respect to the Property, Purchaser shall nevertheless be obligated to proceed to the Closing without reduction of or set off against the Purchase Price and (d) the Closing shall not be delayed as a result of Purchaser’s efforts to obtain such additional coverages.

(n) No Rights to Purchase; No Rights of First Refusal. Except as expressly set forth in the Leases, Seller has not granted to any tenant under any Lease, (i) any option to purchase any portion of the Property, (ii) any right or option to expand the demised premises under such Lease or to extend the term of such Lease, or (iii) any right of first refusal, right of first offer or any other right which is currently in effect to purchase or otherwise acquire or lease the Property or any portion thereof.

Whenever a representation or warranty is made “to Seller’s knowledge,” or a term of similar import, the accuracy of such representation or warranty shall be based solely on the actual knowledge of Aaron Wetherill, after making inquiry with Sellers’ property manager for the Property, without any implied knowledge of any other party. This Section 7.1 shall survive the Closing Date for the period and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 7.1(n) and 7.2 and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

To the extent Purchaser has actual knowledge prior to the date hereof that any of these representations and warranties are inaccurate, untrue or incorrect in any way, such representations and warranties shall be deemed modified to reflect Purchaser’s actual knowledge. Furthermore, any breaches of any representation, warranty or covenant of Sellers herein caused by the actions of Purchaser or by any breach by Purchaser of the Sublease shall, for all purposes herein, be completely disregarded and deemed not to exist.

7.2. Indemnity; Survival; Limitation of Liability.

(a) Subject to the provisions of this Section 7.2, Sellers hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, Purchaser’s Affiliates, shareholders, directors and officers of each of them, and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns (each, a “Purchaser Party” and collectively, the “Purchaser Parties”) with respect to any and all suits, actions, proceedings, investigations, demands,

 

-15-


claims, liabilities, fines, penalties, liens, judgments, losses, injuries, damages, expenses or costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and costs of investigation and remediation costs (collectively, “Purchaser Claims”) that may arise on account of a breach of any of Sellers’ representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. The aforesaid indemnifications and the representations and warranties of Sellers set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date for a period of nine (9) months and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing, and no action or proceeding thereon shall be valid or enforceable, at law or in equity, if a legal proceeding is not commenced on or before such date. Sellers shall have no liability for any Purchaser Claims resulting from any breach of any representation or warranty set forth herein except for the portion, if any, of such Purchaser Claims which, in the aggregate, are in excess of Seven Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($750,000). In no event shall the total liability of Sellers under the aforesaid indemnity for any breach of a representation and/or warranty set forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement by Sellers, in the aggregate, exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, prior to the Closing, Purchaser obtains actual knowledge that any representation and/or warranty of Sellers is inaccurate or incorrect and Purchaser nonetheless proceeds with the Closing, Sellers shall have no liability for any such inaccurate or incorrect representation or warranty. Purchaser’s actual knowledge as aforesaid will be limited to information obtained by George Salah, after making inquiry of its third-party consultants and all relevant persons within Purchaser and that are involved in the management and operation of the Property owned by the Amphitheatre Seller, without any implied knowledge of any other party.

(b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall Sellers be liable for any consequential, incidental, or indirect damages of Purchaser or any punitive damages.

Other than as expressly set forth in Section 7.1, each Seller specifically disclaims any warranty, guaranty, representation or recourse of any kind or character, express or implied, with respect to the Property, including, but not limited to, warranties or representations as to matters of title, zoning, tax consequences, physical or environmental conditions, availability of access, ingress or egress, operating history or projections, valuation, governmental approvals, governmental regulations or any other matter or thing relating to or affecting the Property. Purchaser acknowledges it is a knowledgeable purchaser of real estate and that, except for Sellers’ representations set forth in Sections 7.1, it is purchasing the Property solely in reliance on its own expertise and investigations and those of Purchaser’s agents and that, prior to the Execution Date, Purchaser shall have had a full and complete opportunity to conduct such investigations, examinations, inspections and analysis of the Property as Purchaser, in its sole and absolute discretion, may determine, and will rely upon same. In consideration of the agreements of Sellers herein, Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Sellers make no representations or warranties, express or implied, or arising by operation of law, including, but not limited to, any warranty of value, condition, habitability, merchantability, marketability, profitability,

The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive (i) the Closing and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing or (ii) earlier termination of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that all understandings and agreements heretofore made between them or their respective agents or representatives regarding the purchase and sale of the Property are merged into this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, which alone fully and completely express their agreement, and that neither party is relying upon any statement, promise or representation by any other party unless such statement, promise or representation is specifically and expressly set forth in this Agreement or the Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, or is subsequently expressly made by any Seller in the documents delivered at Closing or any other documents executed by any Seller and delivered to Purchaser hereunder.

13.2. Condemnation. In the event that all or a material portion of the Property should be condemned or becomes the subject of condemnation proceedings or a threat of condemnation proceedings prior to the Closing such that the reasonably estimated loss of value as a result thereof exceeds an amount that is equal to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) with respect to either the Amphitheatre Seller Property or, collectively, the Seller A/B, Seller C and Seller D Property, then Purchaser may, at Purchaser’s sole option, elect to either:

(a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit will immediately be returned to Purchaser and thereupon Sellers and Purchaser shall have no further obligations or liabilities to each other under this Agreement, except as otherwise provided herein; or

(b) proceed to close the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

If Purchaser elects to proceed to closing under Section 13.2(b), Purchaser shall purchase the Property in accordance with the terms hereof (without reduction in the Purchase Price except as expressly set forth herein) and Sellers shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all condemnation proceeds payable and still outstanding as a result of such condemnation (less Sellers’ reasonable cost to secure the same) and the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of any condemnation proceeds previously paid to Sellers on account of such condemnation (less Sellers’ reasonable cost to secure the same and less repair costs reasonably incurred by Sellers with respect to such taking as documented to Purchaser’s reasonable satisfaction). Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under this Section 13.2(b) unless, within twenty (20) Business Days of receipt by Purchaser of written notice from Sellers (which notice shall reference this clause (b) and said twenty (20) Business Day period) of the condemnation or condemnation proceedings or threat of condemnation proceedings, Purchaser provides Sellers with written notice that Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.2(a) and, if necessary, the Closing Date will be extended by such period as may be necessary to afford Purchaser said twenty (20) Business Days in which to make such election.

 

-25-


13.3. Waiver of CC Section 1662. Sellers and Purchaser each expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1662 and any and all comparable statutory provisions and hereby agree that the provisions of Sections 13.1 and 13.2 hereof shall govern their obligations in the event of damage or destruction to the Real Property or condemnation of all or part of the Real Property.

14. Broker. Sellers, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, each represents and warrants to the other that it has not dealt with any broker, and that no broker is entitled to any commission, in connection with the transactions described herein other than Warren Wixen Real Estate Services and Colliers International, each representing Purchaser (collectively, “Purchaser’s Broker”), and Sellers covenant, represent and warrant that Sellers will be responsible for any commissions owing to Purchaser’s Broker as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, will pay such commissions through escrow at the Closing and hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against any costs or liabilities relating thereto.

15. Natural Hazard Disclosures. As used herein, the term “Natural Hazard Area” shall mean those areas identified as natural hazard areas or natural hazards in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4 and 51183.5, and California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694 and 4136, and any successor statutes or laws (the “Act”). Prior to the Closing Date, each Seller shall provide Purchaser with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (the “Disclosure Statement”) in a form required by the Act. Purchaser acknowledges that Sellers shall retain the services of a qualified party to examine the maps and other information made available to the public by government agencies for the purpose of enabling each Seller to fulfill its disclosure obligations with respect to the Act and to prepare the written report of the result of its examination (the “Report”). Purchaser acknowledges that the Report fully and completely discharges each Seller from its disclosure obligations under the Act and under California Civil Code Sections 1102.1 through 1102.17. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the Disclosure Statement releases Purchaser from its obligation to fully investigate and satisfy itself with the condition of the Property, including, without limitation, whether the Property is located in any Natural Hazard Area. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the Disclosure Statement or Report may change on or prior to the Closing and that no Seller shall have any obligation to update, modify or supplement the Disclosure Statement or Report. Purchaser is solely responsible for preparing and delivering its own Disclosure Statement to subsequent prospective purchasers of the Property.

16. Prorations.

16.1. Rents. At Closing, all rents actually paid and collected, and any other charges owing and which have been collected by Sellers for or in respect of the month in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated as of 11:59 p.m. on the day immediately preceding the Closing Date (the “Cut-Off Time”) on the basis of 365-day year, and the prorated amount attributable to the period following the Closing shall either

 

-26-


be paid to Purchaser at the Closing or credited against the Purchase Price, at Purchaser’s option. Rents (including operating expense, tax and insurance charges payable by tenants) which are delinquent as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date and all rights thereto shall be retained by Sellers, who reserve the right (subject to this Section 16.1 and subject to the limitation that Sellers shall not have the right to bring or maintain any action to either dispossess any tenant that is in possession or terminate any of the Leases) to collect and retain such delinquent rents. Purchaser agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sellers in Sellers’ efforts to collect such rents (but not including joining in any legal action instituted by Sellers or spending any money or incurring any expenses in order to do so). To the extent Purchaser receives payments on or after the Closing Date from a tenant that was delinquent at the Closing, such payments shall be applied as follows: (1) first, to the calendar month in which the Closing occurs (the “Closing Month”); (2) second, to the month immediately preceding the Closing Month; (3) third, to the month immediately succeeding the Closing Month; (4) fourth, to the month immediately preceding the month specified in clause (2); (5) fifth, to the month immediately succeeding the month specified in clause (3); (6) sixth, to the month immediately preceding the month specified in clause (4); and (7) thereafter, to all remaining months succeeding the month specified in clause (5). Purchaser shall promptly remit to Sellers any such rent it is owed after its Receipt. The amount of all cash security deposits held by any Seller under the Leases shall be credited against the Purchase Price at Closing.

16.2. Charges. Any charges and expenses payable by tenants under the Leases (collectively, the “Tenant Charges”) on an estimated basis shall be reconciled against actual charges and expenses as of the Cut-Off Time, to the extent then possible, and Sellers shall provide a proposed reconciliation for Purchaser’s approval on or prior to the day which is four (4) Business Days prior to the Closing Date. Sellers shall have a period of ninety (90) days following the actual Closing Date to provide Purchaser with a final reconciliation of Tenant Charges (as approved by Sellers and Purchaser). If the final reconciliation shows that Purchaser owes Sellers additional sums, Purchaser shall pay such amount to Sellers within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s receipt of the final reconciliation. If the final reconciliation shows that Sellers owe Purchaser additional sums, Sellers shall pay such amount to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after Sellers’ receipt of, and Purchaser’s approval of, the final reconciliation. Other than as set forth above, there shall not be any further reconciliation of such Tenant charges after the final reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the final reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate. After the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges is made by and between the parties, Purchaser shall be solely liable and responsible to the tenants for such reconciliation of Tenant Charges under the Leases. The foregoing covenant made by the parties with respect to the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges shall survive the Closing.

16.3. Expenses. To the extent not paid directly by any tenants of the Property or reimbursed by tenants as part of the Tenant Charges, real property taxes and assessments, water, sewer and utility charges and amounts payable under the Property

 

-27-


Contracts which Purchaser has elected or is required to assume pursuant to this Agreement (calculated on the basis of the period covered), and other expenses normal to the operation and maintenance of the Property shall be prorated as of the Cut-Off Time. Any taxes or assessments that are due and payable as of the Closing shall be paid by the Escrow Agent out of Escrow and, unless reimbursed by tenants as part of the Tenant Charges, Sellers shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to that portion of such taxes and assessments that relate to the period before the Closing. Any such apportionment made with respect to a tax year for which the tax rate or assessed valuation, or both, have not yet been fixed shall be based upon the tax rate and/or assessed valuation last fixed. To the extent that the actual taxes and assessments for the current year differ from the amount apportioned at Closing, the parties shall make all necessary adjustments by appropriate payments between themselves within thirty (30) days after such amounts are determined following Closing. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that any refunds or rebates relating to real property taxes paid for prior years shall remain the property of Sellers and paid to Sellers if received by Purchaser within twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, but only to the extent that such rebate is not required to be paid to the tenants under the terms of the Leases. Sellers and Purchaser acknowledge that insurance premiums and any other costs or expenses related to insurance shall not be prorated.

16.4. Other Amounts. Purchaser and Sellers acknowledge and agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the purpose and intent of the provisions set forth in this Section 16 and elsewhere in this Agreement as to prorations and apportionments is that Sellers shall bear all expenses of the ownership and operation of the Property (for which buyers and sellers of commercial properties in Santa Clara County, California would customarily prorate or apportion) and shall receive all income therefrom accruing through the Cut-Off Time and Purchaser shall bear all such expenses and receive all income accruing thereafter. Any revenues and/or expenses affecting the Property that are not otherwise specifically addressed in Section 16 shall be apportioned consistently with the foregoing provisions.

16.5. True-Up. Not later than five (5) Business Days prior to Closing, representatives of Sellers shall prepare a statement for Purchaser’s review (the “Preliminary Closing Statement”) which will show the net amount due to Sellers or Purchaser as the result of the prorations set forth in this Agreement, and that net amount will be added to, or deducted from, the Purchase Price. Within ninety (90) days following the Closing, representatives of Purchaser shall prepare a revised statement (the “Final Closing Statement”, and together with the Preliminary Closing Statement, collectively, the “Closing Statements”) setting forth the final determination of all items to be included in the Closing Statements, and any necessary payment shall be made within thirty (30) days after completion of such Final Closing Statement; provided that any items then still not ascertainable shall be adjusted at such time as they are ascertainable, it being understood that any item which cannot be finally prorated because of the unavailability of information shall be tentatively prorated on the basis of the best data then available and re-prorated when the information is available but in no event later than

 

-28-


twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. The provisions of this Section 16.5 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months and shall not be deemed merged into any instrument of conveyance delivered at the Closing.

17. Inspection; Covenants.

17.1. Access.

(a) Sellers have provided access to the Property to Purchaser subject to the terms and conditions of the Access and Indemnity Agreement, effective as of May 12, 2006 (the “Access Agreement”) between Sellers and Purchaser. The indemnity obligations of Purchaser set forth in the Access Agreement will apply to any access to the Property by Purchaser or any Covered Party (as defined in the Access Agreement) pursuant to this Section 17.

(b) Subject to the following sentence, following the Execution Date, Purchaser and its Affiliates, agents, contractors, or representatives shall have, and A/B Seller, C Seller and D Seller shall provide, access to the Property of A/B Seller, C Seller and D Seller for purposes of inspection, investigation and/or testing of such Property and review of such materials and information relating to such Property as Purchaser deems reasonably necessary or appropriate. If Purchaser desires access to such Property for purposes of inspection, investigation and/or testing, Purchaser shall provide Sellers with reasonable prior notice thereof, which notice shall include the date and time of such proposed access, the scope of work to be completed during such access, and the anticipated commencement and completion dates for such work. Any inspection, investigation and/or testing shall be at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and Purchaser shall not conduct any invasive testing or phase II environmental surveys without Sellers’ prior written consent. Purchaser shall promptly restore at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense any physical damage to the Property caused by any such inspection, investigation and/or testing of the Property.

(c) Prior to any entry upon the Property by Purchaser’s agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees, Purchaser shall deliver to Sellers proof satisfactory to Sellers that Purchaser is carrying a commercial general liability insurance policy issued by a financially responsible insurance company reasonably acceptable to Sellers, covering (i) the activities of Purchaser, Purchaser’s agents, contractors, subcontractors and employees on or upon the Property, and (ii) Purchaser’s indemnity obligation contained in this Section 17. Such proof shall evidence that such insurance policy shall have a per occurrence limit of at least Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) and an aggregate limit of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), shall name each Seller as an additional insured, shall be primary and noncontributing with any other insurance available to Sellers and shall contain a full waiver of subrogation clause.

(d) The provisions of Sections 4 and 6 of the Access Agreement will apply to any inspection of the Property by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 17.

 

-29-


(e) The provisions of this Section 17 and the Access Agreement shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

17.2. Estoppels.

(a) Sellers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, prior to Closing, estoppel certificates from all tenants occupying any portion of the Property whose Leases will continue after the Closing in the form attached hereto as Exhibit K or in such other form as shall be approved by Purchaser, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

17.3. Ground Lessor Consent and Ground Lessor Release. Purchaser shall use best efforts (it being understood and agreed that best efforts shall not require the expenditure of unreasonable amounts of money or the incurring of material obligations) to cause the City to grant the Ground Lessor Consent and Ground Lessor Release and Sellers shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in such efforts.

18. Intentionally Omitted.

19. Leasing and Other Activities Prior to Closing.

19.1. Leases. No Seller shall, from and after the Execution Date, enter into amendments, modifications, extensions, renewals or terminations of any existing Leases or enter into new leases without consent of Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, subject to any outstanding or existing options of tenants.

19.2. Operation of Property. At all times prior to the Closing, Sellers shall continue to operate the Property in a prudent manner, substantially consistent with past practices. In addition, Sellers shall terminate any management agreement with the Property Manager with respect to the Property effective as of the Closing Date and pay any and all costs and expenses of termination thereof.

19.3. Consent. When Purchaser’s consent is required pursuant to this Section 19, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days after receipt from Sellers of a written request (which request shall specifically reference this Section 19 and the five (5) Business Day period) for consent to proposed contracts or leases, or modifications to the existing Property Contracts, if any, or Leases, in which to grant such consent, and if Purchaser fails or refuses to act within such five (5) Business Day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have granted such consent.

19.4. Liens. Sellers shall not sell, mortgage, pledge, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer or dispose of all or any material part of the Property or any interest therein at any time after the date hereof and prior to the Closing Date, other than (i) leasing of the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (ii) Permitted Exceptions, and (iii) the granting of liens or assignments as required by any financing existing as of the date hereof.

 

-30-


19.5. Property Contracts. Effective as of Closing, Sellers shall terminate all Property Contracts other than those Property Contracts that Purchaser is required to assume pursuant to Section 2.1(e) and those that Purchaser has expressly elected to assume by written notice to Seller within two (2) days of the Execution Date. Any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the failure of Sellers to terminate any Property Contract as required pursuant to this Section 19.5 shall not result in the failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to acquire the Tenant Interests pursuant to Section 11 hereof and shall not excuse Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement, and Purchaser’s sole remedy in such case shall be reimbursement by Sellers to Purchaser for the actual out-of-pocket costs incurred by Purchaser in causing the termination of such Property Contracts after the Closing; Sellers expressly agree to provide such reimbursement, without any requirement that such costs exceed a threshold amount in order to trigger Sellers’ obligation hereunder. The provisions of this Section 19.5 shall survive the Closing.

20. Notices. Notices which may or are required to be given under this Agreement by any party to another shall be in writing and given by hand delivery, transmitted by facsimile, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, or delivered by reputable overnight delivery service with proof of delivery, and shall be addressed to the respective parties hereto at their addresses as set forth below or to such other addressee, addresses or facsimile numbers as may be designated by any party hereto, by notice addressed to each of the other parties listed below:

21. Termination And Default.

21.1. PURCHASER’S DEFAULT; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES – DEPOSIT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE CLOSING AND THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY ARE NOT CONSUMMATED SOLELY AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, (A) SELLERS SHALL BE ENTITLED TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY PROVIDING WRITTEN NOTICE TO PURCHASER AND TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS SELLERS’ LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND SUCH AMOUNT SHALL, SUBJECT TO THE PROCEDURES SET FORTH IN SECTION 24, PROMPTLY BE PAID TO SELLERS BY ESCROW AGENT, (B) AND THE PROVISIONS OF ARTICLES I, II, III, AND IV (BUT NOT ARTICLE V) OF THAT CERTAIN LANDLORD-SUBTENANT AGREEMENT (AMPHITHEATRE), DATED AS OF JULY 9TH, 2003, BETWEEN AMPHITHEATRE SELLER AND PURCHASER SHALL BE DEEMED TERMINATED AND ALL OF PURCHASER’S RIGHTS UNDER SAID ARTICLES OF SAID AGREEMENT SHALL BE VOID AND OF NO FURTHER FORCE AND EFFECT AND (C) NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER TO THE OTHER. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY IMPRACTICABLE AND DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLERS AS A RESULT OF PURCHASER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE EXECUTION DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLERS WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLERS PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THIS PROVISION SHALL NOT WAIVE OR AFFECT SELLERS’ RIGHTS AND PURCHASER’S INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER OTHER SECTIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

21.2. Sellers’ Default. In the event that the Closing and the transaction contemplated hereby are not consummated solely as a result of Sellers’ default hereunder, Purchaser may, at its election and as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Sellers, in which case the Deposit shall, subject to the procedures set forth in Section 24, promptly be returned to Purchaser by Escrow Agent and Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Sellers Purchaser’s reasonable, demonstrated third party out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with Purchaser’s performance of its due diligence of the Property, but not to exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00) or (b) sue for specific performance of this Agreement; provided that (i) all conditions to Sellers’ obligation to consummate the transactions herein contemplated shall have been satisfied (other than those conditions, if any, which are not satisfied due to Sellers’ breach of this Agreement) and (ii) Purchaser shall have commenced such suit within forty-five (45) days following the Closing Date. Purchaser hereby waives its right to collect all other damages, rights and remedies, and agrees that the foregoing shall be Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of any default by Sellers hereunder.

21.3. Survival. The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

22. Further Assurances and Cooperation. Following the Closing, either party shall, at the request of the other party, execute and deliver to the other party such further written instruments as may be reasonably required to complete or evidence the transactions contemplated herein. This Section 22 shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

23. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall not be altered, amended, changed, waived, terminated or otherwise modified in any respect or particular, and no consent or approval required pursuant to this Agreement shall be effective, unless the same shall be in writing and signed by or on behalf of the party to be charged.

(b) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and to their respective heirs, executors, administrators, successors and permitted assigns. Purchaser may not, directly or indirectly, assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Sellers. Any purported assignment or transfer of this Agreement in violation of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect.

(c) All prior statements, understandings, representations and agreements between the parties, oral or written, are superseded by and merged in this Agreement. This Agreement shall be given a fair and reasonable construction in accordance with the intentions of the parties hereto, and without regard to or aid of canons requiring construction against the party drafting this Agreement.

 

-34-


(d) The parties hereto agree that wherever this Agreement provides that a party must send a notice, make an election, perform some obligation or take some other action within a specific time period in order to exercise a right or remedy it may have hereunder, time shall be of the essence with respect to the taking of such action or the performance of such obligation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the last date for performance by either party under this Agreement occurs on a day that is not a Business Day, then the last date for such performance shall be extended to the next occurring Business Day.

(e) Except as expressly provided herein, no failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right or remedy given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified herein for exercise of such right or remedy has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right or remedy. No waiver by either party of any breach hereunder or failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, failure or refusal to so comply.

(f) This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original but all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. In order to expedite the transaction contemplated herein, telecopied signatures or signatures e-mailed in so-called “pdf” format may be used in place of original signatures on this Agreement. Sellers and Purchaser intend to be bound by the signatures on the telecopied or e-mailed document, are aware that the other party will rely on the telecopied or e-mailed signatures, and hereby waive any defenses to the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement based on the form of signature.

(g) The captions in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and reference only and shall in no way affect, define, limit or prescribe the scope, intent or construction of any provision hereof.

(h) All Exhibits and Schedules annexed hereto are hereby incorporated herein as part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body hereof.

(i) In the event any litigation is commenced to enforce any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such dispute shall have its reasonable attorneys’ fees (and disbursements) paid by the non-prevailing party within ten (10) days of presentation of a reasonably detailed bill therefor.

(j) EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES (FOR ITSELF AND ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS) TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM BROUGHT BY SUCH PARTY AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

 

-35-


(k) The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that each party shall be responsible for all of its own costs and expenses associated with its execution and delivery of this Agreement.

(l) Each party to this Agreement hereby covenants that (i) prior to the Closing it shall not issue any press release or public statement (a “Press Release”) with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement, which consent may be withheld in such other party’s sole and absolute discretion and (ii) after Closing, any Press Release issued by either Sellers or Purchaser shall be subject to the review and approval of the other party (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld). If either party is required by law to issue a Press Release, such party shall, at least two (2) Business Days prior to the issuance of the same, deliver a copy of the proposed Press Release to the other party for its review.

(m) Prior to Closing, each party and its respective representatives shall hold in strict confidence the terms and conditions of this transaction as well as all confidential, non-public data and information obtained with respect to the other party or its business, whether obtained before or after the execution and delivery of this Agreement, and shall not disclose the same to others; provided, however, that it is understood and agreed that each party may disclose such data and information (a) to its respective members, shareholders, partners, indirect beneficial owners, employees, lenders, consultants, accountants and attorneys, and, with respect to Purchaser, to any prospective permitted assignee of this Agreement and any such prospective permitted assignee’s employees and attorneys, (b) in connection with that party’s enforcement of its rights hereunder; (c) pursuant to any legal requirement, any statutory reporting requirement or any accounting or auditing disclosure requirement required by applicable law; (d) in connection with performance by either party of its obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the delivery and recordation of instruments, notices or other documents required hereunder); (e) to the City or (f) to the Court. After the Closing, each party and its respective representatives shall be required to hold in confidence the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 23(l) above. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party or its agents or representatives of this Section 23(m), the other party shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the breaching party or its agents or representatives from disclosing, in whole or in part, such confidential information. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to file this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, if Purchaser determines that such filing is required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, after having consulted with legal counsel, and such filing shall not be a breach of this Agreement.

 

-36-


(n) This Agreement shall not be merged into any of the instruments or documents executed and delivered at the Closing, but shall survive the Closing, and the provisions, representations and warranties made herein shall remain in full force and effect.

(o) THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, WITHOUT REGARD TO ANY OTHERWISE APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE COMMENCED BY PURCHASER OR SELLER IN THE STATE COURTS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO, OR IN U.S. FEDERAL COURT FOR THE APPLICABLE DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA AND EACH PARTY HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION OF THE ABOVE COURTS IN ANY SUCH ACTION AND TO THE LAYING OF VENUE IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CITY OF SAN FRANCISCO. ANY PROCESS IN ANY SUCH ACTION SHALL BE DULY SERVED IF MAILED BY REGISTERED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO THE PARTIES AT THEIR RESPECTIVE ADDRESS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 20 HEREOF.

24. General Escrow Provisions. The obligations and rights of Escrow Agent under this Agreement shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:

(a) The duties and obligations of Escrow Agent shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement and no implied duties or obligations shall be implied against Escrow Agent. Further, Escrow Agent shall be under no obligation to refer to any other document between or among Purchaser and Seller referred to in or related to this Agreement, unless Escrow Agent is provided with a copy of such document and consents thereto in writing.

(b) Escrow Agent shall not be liable to anyone by reason of any error of judgment, or for any act done or step taken or omitted by Escrow Agent in good faith, or for any mistake of fact or law, or for anything which Escrow Agent may do or refrain from doing in connection herewith, unless caused by or arising out of Escrow Agent’s actual and intentional misconduct or gross negligence.

(c) Escrow Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be protected in acting in reliance, upon any writing furnished to Escrow Agent by either Purchaser or Sellers and shall be entitled to treat as genuine, and as the document it purports to be, any letter, paper or other document furnished to Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent may rely on any affidavit of either Purchaser or Sellers or any other person as to the existence of any facts stated therein to be known by the affiant.

(d) If Sellers shall become entitled to retain or receive the Deposit or other amount paid under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay the same to Sellers together with all interest earned thereon and if Purchaser shall become entitled to a return

of the Deposit or other amount paid under this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall pay the same to Purchaser together with all interest earned thereon; provided, however, that no disbursement pursuant to this subsection shall be made by Escrow Agent until the third (3rd) Business Day following the receipt or deemed receipt of notice by Sellers and Purchaser from Escrow Agent of its intention to so disburse, and disbursement made by Escrow Agent after the passage of such three (3) Business Day period shall relieve Escrow Agent from all liability in connection with such disbursement unless such disbursement is proscribed by order of a court of competent jurisdiction or objected to in writing by Sellers or Purchaser. If such disbursement is objected to in writing by Sellers or Purchaser within such three (3) Business Day period, then Escrow Agent shall not make such disbursement until unanimously instructed in writing by Purchaser and Sellers, or is directed to make such disbursement by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) In the event of any disagreement between Purchaser and Sellers resulting in adverse claims and demands being made in connection with or against the funds held in escrow, Escrow Agent shall refuse to comply with the claims or demands of either party until such disagreement is finally resolved (i) by a court of competent jurisdiction (in proceedings which Escrow Agent or any other party may initiate, it being understood and agreed by Purchaser and Sellers that Escrow Agent has authority (but not the obligation) to initiate such proceedings), (ii) by an arbitrator in the event that Purchaser and Sellers mutually and jointly determine to submit the dispute to arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association, and in so doing Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable to a party or (iii) by written settlement between Purchaser and Sellers.

(f) Purchaser and Sellers each agree to jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any and all losses, liabilities, costs (including legal fees) and other expenses in any way incurred by Escrow Agent (except to the extent Escrow Agent willfully disregards any provision of this Agreement to which it is bound) in connection with or as a result of any disagreement between Purchaser and Sellers under this Agreement or otherwise incurred by Escrow Agent in any way on account of its role as Escrow Agent, except that neither Purchaser nor Sellers shall have any obligation to pay Escrow Agent any fee for escrow services hereunder.

(g) Escrow Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to resign as the Escrow Agent under this Agreement; provided that it shall provide both Purchaser and Sellers with at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such resignation pursuant to the notice provisions of Section 20. Upon any such resignation, Escrow Agent shall transfer the Deposit and any other amounts paid under this Agreement and any interest earned thereon to a successor Escrow Agent jointly approved by Purchaser and Sellers, whereupon the original Escrow Agent shall have no further obligation or liability whatsoever as Escrow Agent under this Agreement.

Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) for each individual depositor for all of the depositor’s accounts at the same or related institution. The parties further hereby acknowledge and agree that certain banking instruments such as, but not limited to, repurchase agreements and letters of credit, are not covered at all by Federal Deposit Insurance. The parties acknowledge and agree that Escrow Agent shall have no obligation or liability with respect to insuring the Deposit or with respect to the solvency of the depository institution, or otherwise with respect to the appropriateness of the depository institution for purposes of the Deposit. Further, the parties understand that Escrow Agent assumes no responsibility for, nor will the parties hold the same liable for, any loss occurring which arises from the fact that (x) the amount of the account or accounts contemplated hereby may cause the aggregate amount of any individual depositor’s account or accounts to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), (y) that this excess amount is not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or (z) that Federal Deposit Insurance is not available on certain types of bank instruments.

(i) Escrow Agent may pay the Deposit into a court of competent jurisdiction upon commencement by Escrow Agent of an interpleader action in such court. The reasonable out-of-pocket costs and attorneys’ fees of Escrow Agent for such interpleader action shall be paid by the losing party in such interpleader action.

(j) The rights and immunities of Escrow Agent hereunder shall apply equally to its partners, of counsel, associates, employees, Affiliates and agents.

(k) All of Escrow Agent’s obligations under this Agreement shall automatically terminate upon disbursing the Deposit and any other amounts paid under this Agreement as set forth above.

(l) Promptly after execution of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall deliver one (1) fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrow Agent and this instrument shall serve as the escrow instructions to Escrow Agent for consummation of the purchase and sale contemplated hereby. Sellers and Purchaser agree to execute such additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be appropriate to Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
