7. Conditions to the Close of Escrow.
7.1 Conditions Precedent to Buyer’s Obligations. The Close of Escrow and Buyer’s obligations with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to the satisfaction, not later than the Closing Date (unless otherwise provided), of the following conditions, and the obligations of the parties with respect to such conditions are as follows.
7.1.1 (a) Title. At Closing, Title Company shall issue an ALTA Standard Coverage 2006 Ground Leasehold Policy of Title Insurance showing a ground leasehold estate in the Property vested in Buyer, subject only to the Approved Title Conditions, with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price (the “Title Policy”). Any “extended coverage” or other endorsements to the Title Policy desired by Buyer shall be obtained by Buyer at its sole cost and expense and shall in no event be a condition to the Close of Escrow, unless Seller has agreed to provide such endorsement in order to cure a title objection pursuant to Seller’s Title Notice (as defined below). In furtherance of the foregoing, prior to the Closing, Buyer shall have approved the legal description of the Real Property attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and any matters of title disclosed by the following documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”), which shall be delivered to Buyer at Seller’s sole cost and expense: (A) a standard ALTA title commitment dated no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Execution Date of this Agreement issued by the Title Company, with respect to the Real Property; (B) the most recent as-built survey of the Real Property in Seller’s possession or control (“Seller’s As‑Built Survey”); and (C) legible copies of all recorded documents referred to in such title commitment. Seller has delivered the Title Documents to Buyer concurrently with or prior to the execution hereof. Buyer shall have until the date that is fifteen (15) days after the Execution Date to give Seller and the Escrow Holder written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s disapproval of any matters shown in the Title Documents. The failure of Buyer to timely give Buyer’s Title Notice shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the legal description and all Title Documents and matters and conditions set forth therein and waiver of Buyer’s contingency related to review of title matters. If Buyer disapproves of any matters of title shown in the Title Documents by delivering Buyer’s Title Notice (noting such disapproval), then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to indicate which items Seller shall eliminate from the Title Policy (and as exceptions to title to the Property), and the manner in which Seller shall do so, by delivering written notice thereof to Buyer (“Seller’s Title Notice”) within two (2) days after receiving Buyer’s Title Notice. Seller shall not have any right to deliver Seller’s Title Notice unless Buyer delivers Buyer’s Title Notice. If Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Notice, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to correct any of the matters disclosed in Buyer’s Title Notice and Buyer may elect, at its option, to either cancel this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit in accordance with Paragraph 7.3 below or waive its objection and proceed to Closing, subject to the satisfaction of the other terms and provisions of this Agreement. Buyer shall have the right to disapprove Seller’s Title Notice, or Seller’s election not to cure any matters disclosed in Buyer’s Title Notice, as applicable, by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within three (3) days after the earlier of (A) receipt of Seller’s Title Notice, or (B) the deadline for delivery of Seller’s Title Notice (the “Buyer’s Second Title Notice”); and Buyer’s failure to timely do so shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of Seller’s Title Notice. If Buyer approves (or is deemed to approve, as aforesaid) Seller’s Title Notice, then by the Closing Date Seller shall eliminate those disapproved matters which Seller has agreed to eliminate in Seller’s Title Notice from the Title Policy. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 7.1.1
7
to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated, at its sole cost and expense, to satisfy or cause to be removed from title, at or prior to Closing, all monetary encumbrances affecting the Property evidenced by deeds of trust, tax liens, judgments, mechanics’ liens and/or other liens or charges in a fixed sum regardless of whether Buyer objects to such matters, and if such monetary encumbrances are not discharged or removed prior to Closing, Seller authorizes the use of the Purchase Price or a portion thereof to pay and discharge the same at Closing.
(b) Survey. Buyer shall obtain, at Buyer’s expense, an ALTA survey of the Property (the “Survey”) if desired by the Buyer, including if required by the Title Company in connection with any “extended coverage” addition to the Policy desired by Buyer. If the Survey reflects any encroachments, overlaps, unrecorded easements or similar rights in third parties, or any other adverse matters not specifically provided for in this Agreement to which Buyer objects, Buyer shall include such objections in Buyer’s Title Notice. Buyer’s failure to include any such objection in Buyer’s Title Notice, shall be deemed a waiver of any objection to the Survey and the matters contained therein, and any right of Buyer to cancel this Agreement on the basis thereof shall be deemed waived.
7.1.2 Review and Approval of Documents and Materials. Prior to the Execution Date, Seller delivered to Buyer complete copies of all of the information set forth on Schedule 7.1.2, attached hereto and made a part hereof (collectively, the “Materials”). Prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date (the period from the Execution Date until 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date, the “Contingency Period”), Buyer may review the Materials. Except as otherwise set forth in Paragraph 13 below, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever to Buyer as to the accuracy or completeness of the content of the Materials or any other information delivered to or made available to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, and Seller shall not have any liability or responsibility to Buyer with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the Materials or other information or based upon or arising out of any use Buyer may make of the Materials or other information. Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove the Materials in Buyer’s sole discretion by delivering written notice thereof to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date. Buyer’s timely notice of disapproval of any of the Materials shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit in accordance with Paragraph 7.3 below. Buyer’s failure to timely disapprove the Materials shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval thereof and waiver of this condition.
7.1.3 Inspections and Studies. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 19 below, Buyer may conduct such inspections, investigations, tenant interviews, tests and studies (including, without limitation, investigations with regard to zoning, and other government regulations, engineering tests, economic feasibility studies and soils, seismic, environmental contamination and geologic reports) with respect to the Property as Buyer may elect to make or obtain in Buyer’s sole discretion (“Due Diligence Inspections”). The cost of any such Due Diligence Inspections, tests and studies shall be borne by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove the Due Diligence Inspections or any other matter whatsoever regarding the Property in Buyer’s sole discretion. Buyer’s delivery to Seller on or before 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date of a notice of disapproval of any of the Due Diligence Inspections or any other matter with respect to the Property shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit in accordance with Paragraph 7.3 below. The
8
failure of Buyer to provide to Seller written notice of such disapproval by 5:00 p.m. Pacific time on the Contingency Date shall be deemed to constitute its approval of the results of the Due Diligence Inspections and the Property and waiver of this condition. If Buyer provides (or is deemed to have provided as aforesaid) its approval of the results of its Due Diligence Inspections, Buyer shall proceed to Closing, subject to the satisfaction of the other conditions precedent to closing set forth in this Agreement and Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Agreement.
7.1.4 Ground Lessor Estoppels. On or before the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date (the “Ground Lessor Estoppel Delivery Date”), Seller shall have delivered to Buyer estoppel certificates substantially in the form of Exhibits “I-1” and “I-2” hereto (such certificates, the “Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates”; such delivery requirement, the “Ground Lessor Estoppel Delivery Requirement”); provided, however, that if Seller has not obtained the Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates by the Ground Lessor Estoppel Delivery Date, Seller may, at its election, extend the Closing Date for thirty (30) days to try to obtain such Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates. Such Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates shall be consistent with the Ground Lease, shall not reveal any default by any party thereto, shall be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, and shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to Buyer (provided that a form(s) without material deviations from the forms attached hereto as Exhibits “I-1” and “I-2” and which does not disclose any material adverse facts or information inconsistent with the Ground Lease that has not previously been disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to the delivery of the Ground Lessor Estoppel Certificates shall be deemed acceptable). If Seller has not satisfied the Ground Lessor Estoppel Delivery Requirement by the Ground Lessor Estoppel Delivery Date, as may be extended, Buyer may elect, by providing Seller its written notice of such election, to (i) terminate the Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 7.3, or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to the Closing. In the event that Buyer terminates the Agreement due to a failure of this condition precedent, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller reimbursement of Buyer’s actually incurred out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with pursuing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $100,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing reimbursement obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
7.1.5 Tenant Estoppel Certificates. On or before the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date (the “Estoppel Delivery Date”), Seller shall have delivered to Buyer an Estoppel Certificate in the form of (i) for tenants under Hospital Leases, Exhibit “D‑1” attached hereto, (ii) for tenants under other Leases, Exhibit “D‑2” attached hereto, or (iii) in either case, in such form as is required pursuant to the applicable Lease (the “Estoppel Certificate”) from tenants leasing no less than the Estoppel Certificate Percentage (the “Estoppel Delivery Requirement”). No later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which Seller intends to distribute the Estoppel Certificates to the Tenants for their completion and execution, Seller shall deliver the draft Estoppel Certificates to Buyer for Buyer’s review and approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Seller is unable to deliver timely to Buyer the appropriate number of Estoppel Certificates to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Requirement, Seller may, but without any obligation to do so, deliver to Buyer prior to the Close of Escrow, in lieu of an Estoppel Certificate executed by tenants, the necessary number of Estoppel Certificates executed by Seller (the “Seller Estoppel”), in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit “H”, in order to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Requirement; provided,
9
however, Seller shall not be permitted to deliver (i) Seller Estoppels with respect to any Hospital Leases, or (ii) Seller Estoppels for more than twenty percent (20%) of the other leased rentable square footage of the Building(s). The Seller Estoppels executed by Seller shall be subject to the limitations contained in Sections 13 and 20.3, and shall be deemed automatically null and void upon the delivery of an Estoppel Certificate from the tenant for whom Seller delivered a Seller Estoppel. Such Estoppel Certificates shall be consistent with the respective Lease, shall not reveal any default by Seller and/or Tenant, any right to offset rent by the Tenant, or any claim of the same, be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing and shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to Buyer provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, Buyer may only disapprove an executed Estoppel Certificate if it (a) discloses material adverse economic terms of the applicable lease that were not disclosed to Buyer in writing (whether in the applicable lease or any other document delivered to Buyer) prior to the date of the delivery of such Estoppel Certificate to Buyer, (b) alleges a default of Seller (as landlord) under the applicable lease, (c) discloses a dispute between the landlord and a tenant in connection with the applicable Lease, (d) discloses facts that would constitute a default by Tenant under the applicable lease, (e) discloses terms or information that is inconsistent with the terms of the applicable lease, or (f) discloses other oral or written agreements to which Seller and Tenant are parties or are otherwise bound, which agreements were not disclosed to Buyer in writing (whether in the applicable lease or any other document delivered to Buyer) prior to the date of the delivery of such Estoppel Certificate to Buyer; otherwise, the applicable Estoppel Certificate (or Seller Estoppel, as applicable) shall be deemed acceptable to and approved by Buyer. Buyer shall have three (3) Business Days after receipt of each such executed Estoppel Certificate to approve or reasonably disapprove the applicable Estoppel Certificate so received. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller has not satisfied the Estoppel Delivery Requirement by the Estoppel Delivery Date, Seller shall have the right, by delivering written notice to Buyer prior to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, on the Estoppel Delivery Date, to extend the Estoppel Delivery Date for up to thirty (30) days in order to obtain sufficient estoppel certificates to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Requirement prior to the Closing Date. If as a result of such extension, the Estoppel Delivery Date would be a date later than the Closing Date, the Closing Date shall also be extended to be the date which is five (5) Business Days following the extended Estoppel Delivery Date. In the event Seller is unable to obtain Estoppel Certificates (or Seller Estoppels, if applicable) sufficient to satisfy the Estoppel Delivery Requirement by the Estoppel Delivery Date (as it may be extended by Seller as provided above), Buyer may elect to (i) terminate the Agreement and Escrow pursuant to Paragraph 7.3 below, or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to the Closing.
7.1.6 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller. Seller shall have duly performed each and every agreement to be performed by Seller hereunder and Seller’s representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date hereof and, subject to any Representation Matters, as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if remade by Seller in a separate certificate at that time.
7.1.7 Seller’s Deliveries. Seller shall have delivered the items described in Paragraph 7.1, Paragraph 8.1 and Paragraph 9.
10
7.1.8 Title Insurance. As of the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued or shall have committed to issue the Title Policy to Buyer.
7.1.9 Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel. On or before the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date (the “Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Delivery Date”), Seller shall have delivered to Buyer an estoppel certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit “J” hereto (such certificate, the “Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Certificate”; such delivery requirement, the “Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Delivery Requirement”); provided, however, that if Seller has not obtained the Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Certificate by the Declaration/Utility Agreement Delivery Date, Seller may, at its election, extend the Closing Date for thirty (30) days to try to obtain such Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Certificate. Such Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Certificate shall not reveal any default by any party thereto, shall be dated no earlier than thirty (30) days prior to Closing, and shall be otherwise reasonably acceptable to Buyer (provided that a form without material deviations from the form attached hereto as Exhibit “J” and which does not disclose any material adverse facts or information that has not previously been disclosed in writing to Buyer prior to the delivery of the Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Certificate shall be deemed acceptable). If Seller has not satisfied the Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Delivery Requirement by the Declaration/Utility Agreement Estoppel Delivery Date, as may be extended, Buyer may elect, by providing Seller its written notice of such election, to (i) terminate the Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 7.3, or (ii) waive such condition and proceed to the Closing. In the event that Buyer terminates the Agreement due to a failure of this condition precedent, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller reimbursement of Buyer’s actually incurred out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with pursuing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s attorneys’ fees (not to exceed $100,000). For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing reimbursement obligation shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
The conditions set forth in Paragraph 7.1 are solely for the benefit of Buyer and may be waived only by Buyer in writing to Seller. Buyer shall at all times have the right to waive any condition under this Paragraph 7.1. Any such waiver or waivers shall be in writing and shall be delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder. All approvals or disapprovals given by Buyer under this Paragraph 7.1 shall be in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion (for any reason or no reason at all) and in writing and the failure of Buyer to approve any matter requiring its approval under this Paragraph 7.1 by the time therefor shall be deemed disapproval thereof by Buyer.
7.2 Conditions Precedent to Seller’s Obligations. The Close of Escrow and Seller’s obligations with respect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement are subject to (a) Buyer’s delivery to Escrow Holder on or before the Closing Date, for disbursement as provided herein, of the Purchase Price, and the documents and materials described in Paragraph 8.2, (b) all representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Paragraph 15 of this Agreement being true and correct in all material respects as of the date made and as of the Close of Escrow with the same effect as if those representations and warranties were made at and as of the Close of Escrow, and (c) Buyer not being in material default in the performance of any material covenant or agreement to be performed by Buyer under this Agreement.

14
Seller elected to cure in Seller’s Title Notice, (B) one‑half (½) of all escrow fees and costs, (C) all costs related to the release of disapproved title matters pursuant to Paragraph 7.1.1 above, (D) all real property transfer taxes (also known as RPTT), and (E) Seller’s share of prorations.

Buyer and Seller shall each pay their own legal and professional fees. All other costs and expenses shall be allocated between Buyer and Seller in accordance with the customary practice in the County.
11. Prorations. All revenues and expenses relating to the Property, including without limitation, real property taxes and assessments, rent payable under the Ground Lease, utility charges and the like, shall be prorated on an accrual basis as of the Close of Escrow; provided, however, rentals shall be prorated on a cash received basis. Such proration shall be made as of 12:01 a.m. midnight (Pacific time) on the Closing Date (the “Proration Time”). If any rents under any of the leases for space at the Property shall be accrued and unpaid at the Closing Date, the rents collected by Buyer on or after the Closing Date shall first be applied to rents due at the time of such collection on or after the Closing Date, with the balance payable to the Seller to the extent of rents delinquent as of the Closing Date; provided that Buyer shall use commercially reasonable diligent efforts to collect any delinquent rents, but shall not be required to institute any proceeding or incur any material out-of-pocket costs to collect any rents accrued and unpaid on the Closing Date. Seller, at its sole cost, shall be entitled to bring such actions or proceedings against tenants provided that such actions do not affect such tenant’s possession. To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing the landlord for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charge(s)”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing as of the Proration Time on a lease-by-lease basis with each party being entitled to receive a portion of the CAM Charges payable under each Lease for the CAM Lease Year (as defined below) in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be equal to the actual CAM Charges incurred during the party’s respective periods of ownership of the Property during the CAM Lease Year. As used herein, the term “CAM Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual CAM Charges are owed under each Lease. Seller shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year up to, but not including, the Closing Date. Buyer shall be responsible for the CAM Charges reconciliation on a lease-by-lease basis for their ownership period within the CAM Lease Year including the Closing Date. In the event of any expenses, i.e. property taxes, where a proration was based upon an estimate for the year of Closing, a post-Closing “true up” will be performed for the actual expense to determine the Seller and Buyer obligation for their ownership period for the year of Closing. Each party will be responsible to pay for any CAM Charges “true up” necessary to the extent that any Lease provides for a “true up”, which payment shall be based on such party’s period of ownership. Seller shall pay over to or credit Buyer at Closing all cash security deposits (together with any interest required to be paid thereon) held by Seller pursuant to the leases of tenants at the Property. Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing from the Seller in the amount of the sum of: (i) any and all rent concessions and/or rent abatements which related to the current lease term of the Leases that exist as of the date hereof and are unpaid, unapplied and/or unutilized; (ii) any and all tenant improvement allowances which relate to the current lease term of the Leases that exist as of the date hereof and are unpaid, unapplied and/or
15
unutilized; (iii) the cost, as estimated by the parties in their reasonable discretion, of any and all non-monetary tenant inducement obligations of the Seller, as landlord or lessor under the Leases that exist as of the date hereof, which relate to the current lease term of the Leases that exist as of the date hereof (e.g., painting and carpeting) and are unperformed; and (iv) any and all leasing commissions which relate to the current lease term of the Leases that exist as of the date hereof and are unpaid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all tenant improvement costs and allowances and all brokerage commissions and finder’s fees shall be prorated with respect to all leases and lease modifications entered into between the Execution Date and the Closing Date based on the portion of the lease term that pertains to periods on or after the Closing, with Seller only being responsible for such costs multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days prior to the Closing that Seller has received rent from such tenant under the new lease or lease modification and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such new lease term, and Buyer being solely responsible for the balance of such costs. If the parties are unable to obtain final meter readings from all applicable meters as of the Close of Escrow, such expenses shall be reasonably estimated as of the Close of Escrow on the basis of the prior operating history of the Property. Real property taxes for the year of Closing shall be prorated on the basis of the most recent assessment and levy. If the most recent tax assessment and levy is not for the current tax year, then the parties shall reprorate within sixty (60) days of the receipt of the tax assessment and levy for the current tax year. If after the Closing there is any retroactive increase or decrease in the real or personal property taxes or assessments (not caused by Buyer’s acquisition of the Property) imposed on the Property: (1) if such increase or decrease relates to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase or decrease shall be prorated by Seller and Buyer on a per diem basis based on their respective periods of ownership during their period to which such increase applies, (2) if such increase or decrease relates to any tax year subsequent to the tax year which the Closing occurred, then such increase or decrease shall be for the benefit of or be the obligation of Buyer, as appropriate, and (3) if such increase or decrease relates to any tax year prior to the tax year in which the Closing occurred, then such increase or decrease shall be for the benefit of or be the obligation of Seller, as appropriate. Any and all refunds, credits, claims or rights to appeal respecting the amount of any real property taxes or other taxes or assessments charged in connection with the Property for any period after Closing shall belong to Buyer following the Closing, except that Seller shall be entitled to receive any refunds applicable to the period prior to Closing to the extent that Seller initiated a contest prior to Closing. All monthly prorations shall be calculated on actual days of the applicable month and all annual prorations shall be calculated based on a 365‑day year. Not less than five (5) business days prior to the Close of Escrow, Seller and Buyer shall agree upon a schedule of expenses and prorations (“Proration and Expense Schedule”). If any prorations, apportionments or computations made under this Paragraph 11 shall require final adjustment because the information is unavailable at the Proration Time, then the parties shall make the appropriate adjustments promptly when accurate information becomes available and either party hereto shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same. Such adjustments shall be made as soon as complete and accurate information becomes available, but in all events no later than 180 days after the Closing, except with respect to CAM Charges, taxes and assessments, in which case such adjustment shall be made within sixty (60) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available. If a party fails to request an adjustment to the Closing Statement by a written notice delivered to the other party within the applicable period set forth above (such notice to specify in reasonable detail the items within the Closing Statement that
16
such party desires to adjust and the reasons for such adjustment), then the prorations and credits set forth in the Closing Statement shall be binding and conclusive against such party. Any corrected adjustment or proration shall be paid promptly by check or other settlement such as a wire transfer to the party entitled thereto. The obligations of the parties under this Paragraph 11 shall survive the Close of Escrow until the date that is ninety (90) days after the end of the calendar year in which Closing occurs and shall not merge with the Deed.
12. Disbursements and Other Actions by Escrow Holder. At the Close of Escrow, Escrow Holder shall promptly undertake all of the following in the manner hereinbelow indicated.
12.1 Recording. Escrow Holder shall cause the Deed, Memorandum of Ground Lease Assignment and any other documents which the parties hereto may mutually direct to be recorded in the Official Records and obtain conformed copies thereof for distribution to Buyer and Seller.

12.2.2 If, as the result of the prorations and credits pursuant to Paragraph 11, amounts are to be charged to account of Seller, deduct from the Purchase Price the total amount of such charges;
12.2.3 Disburse the balance of the Purchase Price to Seller promptly upon the Close of Escrow; and
12.2.4 Disburse the remaining balance of the funds, if any, to Buyer promptly upon the Close of Escrow.

In the event of any such claims for brokers’ or finders’ fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement, then Buyer shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Seller from and against such claims if they shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement made by Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Buyer if such claims shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement made by Seller.
19. Entry. Provided that Buyer is not in default of its obligations under this Agreement, then from and after the Opening of Escrow through the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Buyer, its agents, consultants, contractors and subcontractors shall have the right, at reasonable times upon at least 48‑hours prior written notice to Seller and provided that Buyer has coordinated with Seller so as to afford Seller a reasonable opportunity to have a representative present at all such times, to enter upon the Property to conduct or make any and all inspections and tests as may be necessary or desirable, subject to the rights of any tenants or occupants of the Property and the limitations set forth below in this Paragraph 19.

Nothing herein shall
25
authorize any subsurface testing or drilling on the Property by Buyer or its environmental consultant unless specifically approved in writing by Seller, which Seller may condition or deny in its sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, in the event that Buyer’s Phase I environmental site assessment recommends a Phase II environmental site assessment and Seller withholds its consent to such Phase II environmental site assessment, and Buyer terminates this Agreement under Paragraph 7.3 above as a result, Buyer shall be entitled to receive from Seller reimbursement of Buyer’s actually incurred out of pocket expenses incurred in connection with pursuing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation Buyer’s attorneys’ fees. Buyer shall obtain or cause its consultants to obtain (and provide evidence to Seller), at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, prior to commencement of any investigative activities on the Property, a policy of commercial general liability insurance covering any and all liability of Buyer and Seller with respect to or arising out of any investigative activities. Such policy of insurance shall be from an insurance company acceptable to Seller and name Seller as an additional insured and shall be kept and maintained in force during the term of this Agreement and so long thereafter as necessary to cover any claims of damages suffered by persons or property resulting from any acts or omissions of Buyer, Buyer’s employees, agents, contractors, suppliers, consultants or other related parties. Such policy of insurance shall have liability limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit per occurrence for bodily injury, personal injury and property damage liability.
In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement, at Seller’s request, Buyer hereby agrees to provide to Seller, copies of all tests, reports, studies and the like generated by such vendor in connection with Buyer’s inspection of the Property; provided that (i) Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of the costs of such third party reports and materials promptly upon receipt of such reports and materials; (ii) such reports and materials are being delivered and made without representation or warranty of any kind by Buyer; and (iii) Seller acknowledges that its ability to rely on any such reports or materials may be subject to the consent of the preparers of such reports or materials. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall keep all documents and information received from Seller and/or its agents and the results of all of its inspections, studies, investigations, analysis, reports and the like confidential except as required by law and except (A) for disclosures made to Buyer’s or its affiliates agents, consultants, attorneys, lenders, prospective lenders, underwriters, prospective underwriters, placement agents, prospective placement agents, and employees; (B) to the extent Buyer or its affiliates determine, in consultation with its legal counsel, that such disclosure is required by applicable law or is otherwise required in connection with any filing by Buyer or its affiliates with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) or any stock exchange rule applicable to Buyer or its affiliates; and (C) to the extent Buyer or its affiliates determine, in consultation with legal counsel, that such disclosure is required in any prospectus, report or other filing made by Buyer or its affiliates with the SEC or any stock exchange or in any press release, earnings release or supplemental data related thereto; provided that any press release shall be subject to the mutual approval of Seller and Buyer (except that so long as neither Seller’s name nor the Purchase Price is disclosed, Buyer may reference the address of the Property and the fact that Buyer acquired the same without Seller’s approval). Buyer hereby indemnifies, defends and holds the Property, Seller and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, participants, affiliates, employers, representatives, invitees, agents and contractors free and harmless from and against any and all actual claims, costs, losses, liabilities, damages or expenses arising out of or resulting from such
26
entry by Buyer, its agents, consultants, contractors and subcontractors. Additionally, Buyer shall immediately, at its sole cost and expense, repair any and all physical damage arising out of or resulting from such entry and any acts or omissions by Buyer, its agents, employees, consultants, contractors and subcontractors, and shall immediately, at its sole cost and expense, restore the Property to the condition that existed immediately prior to such entry by Buyer, its agents, employees, consultants, contractors and subcontractors. Furthermore, prior to Closing, Buyer hereby agrees not to meet with any governmental agencies with respect to the Property without Seller’s prior written consent, which Seller may withhold or condition in its reasonable discretion (and, without limiting the foregoing, Buyer agrees to give Seller a reasonable opportunity to be present during any such meeting with any governmental agency). For clarification, the foregoing shall not preclude Buyer or its agents or consultants from contacting governmental agencies to obtain information regarding zoning, permitting, violations, or other matters that are routinely addressed in zoning, property condition, and environmental reports. In no event shall the indemnity, repair or restoration obligations of this Paragraph 19 include the discovery of pre-existing conditions disclosed by Buyer’s investigations. Buyer shall have the right to interview tenants of the Property provided such are arranged through Seller’s Representative and Seller has a reasonable opportunity to be present during each such interview. Buyer shall keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics’ liens or materialmen’s liens related to Buyer’s inspection and the other activities contemplated in this Paragraph 19. This Paragraph 19 shall survive the Close of Escrow and shall not be merged with the Deed, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement and Escrow prior to the Close of Escrow, and shall not be limited by any provision of this Agreement.
20. Legal and Equitable Enforcement of this Agreement.
20.1 Default by Seller. In the event the Close of Escrow and the consummation of the transactions herein contemplated do not occur by reason of any default by Seller, Buyer shall, upon written notice to Seller (“Default Notice”) be entitled to (i) terminate this Agreement, recover the Deposit, and receive reimbursement from Seller of Buyer’s actually incurred, out of pocket third party costs in conjunction with the Agreement (not to exceed $100,000), after which both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except as otherwise provided herein and (ii) pursue the specific performance of this Agreement, provided any action for specific performance is commenced within ninety (90) days of delivery of the Default Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller’s default has resulted in specific performance being unavailable to Buyer as a remedy, Buyer shall, upon sending a Default Notice, be entitled to terminate this Agreement, recover the Deposit, receive reimbursement from Seller of Buyer’s actually incurred, third party out of pocket costs in conjunction with this Agreement, without any cap, and receive from Seller as liquidated damages as a result thereof, an amount equal to $250,000, after which both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except as otherwise provided herein. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if Buyer has funded the balance of the Purchase Price at Closing in accordance with this Agreement and Seller has defaulted, Buyer shall, if entitled, be promptly returned the balance of the Purchase Price from escrow; provided that in connection with any action for specific performance brought by Buyer, Buyer shall provide proof of immediately available funds or post any bond that may be required by the court or applicable law, in the amount of the balance of the Purchase Price, in connection with such action.
27
BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH BUYER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT SELLER’S DEFAULT RESULTS IN SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE BEING UNAVAILABLE TO BUYER AS A REMEDY. THEREFORE BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT BUYER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO $250,000, IN ADDITION TO THE RETURN OF THE DEPOSIT AND REIMBURSEMENT OF BUYER’S OUT OF POCKET EXPENSES. SAID AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH A DEFAULT BY SELLER. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY.

BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER IN SUCH AN EVENT.

SAID AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR THE BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER, OTHER THAN THOSE OBLIGATIONS THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY SELLER UNDER PARAGRAPH 19, AND THE RIGHT TO COLLECT ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS IN ANY ACTION TO ENFORCE THIS PROVISION. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY.

Buyer agrees that all information, whether written or verbal, relating to the physical condition of the Property and regardless of whether such information was obtained by Seller or Buyer, shall constitute the confidential information of Seller prior to the Closing and following any termination of this Agreement and that the
32
unauthorized use or disclosure of such confidential information would cause irreparable harm to Seller. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Paragraph 23.12, confidential information shall not include information that: (A) is already public knowledge or becomes public knowledge through no fault, action or inaction of Buyer; (B) Buyer is compelled or required by applicable law or administrative or legal process to disclose; or (C) was rightfully in Buyer’s possession without restriction prior to receipt from Seller or was independently developed by Buyer without the use of any confidential information, and such possession and/or independent development can be demonstrated by written evidence.

Accordingly, and notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the provisions of any other existing agreement between the parties hereto to the contrary, Buyer may publically file, disclose, report or publish any and all information related to this transaction that may be reasonably interpreted as being required by federal law or regulation. This provision shall expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.
24. Section 1031 Exchange. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the electing party may elect to effect the sale and purchase of the Property as an exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, provided the electing party utilizes the services of a “qualified intermediary” as defined in Treasury Regulation § 1.1031(k)‑(g)(4)(iii) (“Intermediary”) to effectuate such Section 1031 exchange and will reasonably cooperate in the accomplishment of that purpose provided only that (i) the other party shall not be required to be vested in title to any parcel other than the Property, (ii) the other party shall incur no liability or expense beyond those inherent in an acquisition of the Property for a cash payment nor be delayed in the Closing, (iii) the electing party shall not be released or absolved of its obligations under this Agreement, and (iv) the electing party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from and against any liability, damages, expenses, costs and/or losses arising out of the exchange.

(a) Buyer acknowledges and agrees that under Section 14.8 of the Ground Lease, Ground Lessor has a general right of first offer with respect to, among other things, third-party sales of the Property. Such right of first offer with respect to the sale of the Property by Seller to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement has been waived by Ground Lessor, and a copy of such waiver has been delivered to Buyer. If (i) Ground Lessor’s right of first offer with respect to the sale of the Property to Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement has not been waived by Ground Lessor or otherwise expired without being exercised, and (ii) as a result, Buyer’s rights under this Agreement are not legally enforceable, this Agreement and the Escrow shall automatically and immediately terminate, and Seller agrees to pay to Buyer, as liquidated damages and as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy as a result thereof, an amount equal to $250,000 (in addition to the return of the Deposit to Buyer).
BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH BUYER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT GROUND LESSOR’S RIGHT OF FIRST OFFER
