The provisions of this Section shall survive Closing.

5.             TITLE AND SURVEY MATTERS.

5.1.         Conveyance of Title.  At Closing, Seller agrees to deliver to Buyer a grant deed (the “Grant Deed”), in recordable form, conveying the Land and the Improvements to Buyer or Buyer’s assignee or designee, free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances except for the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).  Buyer shall order a commitment (the “Title Commitment”), dated after the Effective Date, issued by First American Title Insurance Company (5 First American Title, Santa Ana, CA  92707; Attn: Leann Berry) (the “Title Company”), for an owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”), ALTA Policy Form B-1992, in the full amount of the Purchase Price.  The premium for the Title Policy shall be paid in accordance with the terms of Section 13 of this Agreement.  Provided that Buyer has confirmed with the Title Company, in writing, prior to the Review Period Expiration Date that the Title Company will issue the same, it shall be a Condition Precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed to Closing that, at Closing, the Title Company shall issue the Title Policy to Buyer insuring Buyer as the fee simple owner of the Property for the full amount of the Purchase Price with all standard and general printed exceptions deleted so as to afford full “extended form coverage,” and shall further include, to the extent that Buyer obtains the written commitment for the same from the Title Company prior to the Review Period Expiration Date, all of the following endorsements to the extent available in the State of California:  an Owner’s comprehensive endorsement; ALTA Zoning Endorsement No. 3.1 (including parking); a tax parcel endorsement; an access endorsement; a survey endorsement; and a contiguity endorsement (collectively, the “Endorsements”).

5.2.         Survey.  Buyer may order, at Buyer’s expense, an ALTA, as-built survey of the Land and the Improvements located thereon (the “Survey”).

5.3.         Defects and Cure.  If the Title Commitment, the Survey or any update to either of the foregoing, (“Title Evidence”) discloses unpermitted claims, liens, exceptions or conditions (the “Defects”), said Defects shall be cured and removed by Seller from the Title Evidence prior to Closing in accordance with this Section 5.3.

5.3.1.      Mandatory Cure Items.  On or prior to Closing, Seller shall be unconditionally obligated to cure or remove the following Defects (the “Liquidated Defects”), whether described in the Title Commitment, or first arising or first disclosed by the Title Company (or otherwise) to Buyer after the date of the Title Commitment, and whether or not raised in a Title Objection Notice (defined below):  (a) liens securing a mortgage, deed of trust or trust deed) evidencing an indebtedness of Seller; (b) judgment liens against any or all of Seller or its shareholders and the officers, directors, employees, agents or duly authorized managing agent of any or all of Seller or its shareholders (collectively “Seller Parties”); (c) tax liens; (d) broker’s liens based on the written agreement of Seller or any Seller Parties; and (e) any mechanics liens that are based upon a written  agreement between either (x) the claimant (a “Contract Claimant”) and any or all of Seller and the Seller Parties, or (y) the Contract Claimant and any other contractor, supplier or materialman with which any or all of Seller and the Seller Parties has a written agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if, prior to Closing, Seller fails to so cure or remove (or insure over, in a form and substance reasonably acceptable to Buyer) all Liquidated Defects, then Buyer may either (1)

6




terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the provisions of Section 21.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer shall apply; or (2) proceed to close with title to the Property as it then is, with the right to deduct from the Purchase Price a sum equal to the aggregate amount necessary to cure or remove (by endorsement or otherwise, as reasonably determined by Buyer, acting in good faith) the Liquidated Defects in an amount not to exceed the sum of $500,000.

5.3.2.      Other Defects.  On or before the date that is five (5) days prior to the Review Period Expiration Date, Buyer may deliver one or more notices (each a “Title Objection Notice”) to Seller specifying any lien, claim, encumbrance, restriction, covenant, condition, exception to title or other matter disclosed by the Title Evidence, that is not a Liquidated Defect (“Other Defects”) that is evidenced by the Title Evidence and that renders title unacceptable to Buyer.  Moreover, Buyer may deliver a Title Objection Notice with respect to any Other Defect that first arises, or is first disclosed to Buyer, subsequent to the delivery of the applicable item of Title Evidence to Buyer, and that renders title unacceptable based upon commercially reasonable standards, provided that Buyer delivers such Title Objection Notice to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer obtains actual knowledge of such Other Defect.  Seller shall be obligated to advise Buyer in writing (“Seller’s Cure Notice”) within three (3) business days after Buyer delivers any Title Objection Notice, which (if any) of the Other Defects specified in the applicable Title Objection Notice Seller is willing to cure (the “Seller’s Cure Items”).  If Seller delivers a Seller’s Cure Notice, and identifies any Seller’s Cure Items, Seller shall be unconditionally obligated to cure or remove the Seller’s Cure Items prior to the Closing.  In the event that Seller fails to timely deliver a Seller’s Cure Notice, or in the event that Seller’s Cure Notice (specifying Seller’s Cure Items) does not include each and every Other Defect specified in each Title Objection Notice, then Buyer may either (A) elect to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the provisions of Section 21.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer shall apply, or (B) proceed to close, accepting title to the Property subject to those Other Defects not included in Seller’s Cure Notice.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term, “Permitted Exceptions,” shall mean both (i) all liens, claims, encumbrances, restrictions, covenants, conditions, matters or exceptions to title (other than Liquidated Defects) that are set forth in the Title Evidence, but not objected to by Buyer in a Title Objection Notice; and (ii) any Other Defects that Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to cure, but despite which, pursuant to (B) above, Buyer nevertheless elects to close.

6.             LEASEBACK.  Concurrently with the consummation of the Closing, Buyer (as landlord) agrees to lease to National RV Inc. (“Tenant”), and Seller agrees to cause Tenant, its  wholly-owned subsidiary, to lease from Buyer, the Property, pursuant to a lease agreement (the “National RV Lease”) to be finalized and ready for execution on or prior to the Review Period Expiration Date.  The National RV Lease shall, among other things, (i) provide that Tenant, shall pay initial base rent to Buyer, as landlord, in the amount of $0.38 per square foot of the Buildings per month, which base rent amount shall increase by, on a compound basis, 3% during each year of the term; (ii) provide for an initial lease term of ten (10) years, with two (2) five (5) year renewal options, with base rent during the renewal periods being determined at then-fair market value (which base rent amount shall increase by, on a compound basis, 3% per annum); (iii) provide that Seller (a) execute a guaranty of the lease in a form mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller (the “Guaranty”), and (b) deliver a letter of credit to Buyer, as landlord, as a security deposit in connection with the National RV Lease, in an amount and in a form mutually and

7




reasonably agreed to by Buyer and Seller (“Letter of Credit”); (iv) be an absolute net lease wherein Tenant shall be responsible for the real estate taxes, ground maintenance, utilities, insurance costs and the repair and maintenance of the Buildings, including, but not limited to, the roof, HVAC equipment, plumbing lines and parking lots; (vi)  provide that Tenant may assign or sublet a portion of the Premises provided Seller obtains Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and (v) provide that Tenant may freely sublet or assign its interest in the National RV Lease without obtaining Buyer’s prior written consent to an entity that acquires substantially all of the assets of Tenant as a result of a merger or consolidation or to an entity that has a controlling interest in Tenant provided that such transfer is for a bona fide purpose and not principally for the purpose of transferring Tenant’s leasehold estate; and (vi) provide that Seller may assign its obligations under the Guaranty and Letter of Credit, provided Seller obtains Buyer’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned and delayed; it being agreed that it is unreasonable for Buyer to withhold its consent to such and assignment of obligations in the event Seller no longer owns a controlling interest in Tenant and the tangible net worth (as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) of the proposed replacement guarantor is not less than the tangible net worth (as determined in accordance with GAAP) of Seller as of the date of the Guaranty.  The National RV Lease shall be based on the most recent AIR Single Tenant Lease-Net form, containing revisions as mutually and reasonably agreed to by Buyer and Tenant.  Buyer and Seller shall negotiate the National RV Lease in good faith and shall use good faith, reasonable efforts to finalize the terms of the National RV Lease as soon as is reasonably possible.  As soon as Buyer and Seller agree upon the terms of National RV Lease, Buyer and Seller shall execute an amendment to the Agreement memorializing the terms of the National RV Lease and, at Closing, Buyer shall deliver its counterpart to the National RV Lease and Seller shall deliver Tenant’s counterpart to the National RV Lease into escrow.

11.          CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING BENEFITING SELLER.  The following shall be additional Conditions Precedent to Seller’s obligation to close hereunder:

11.1.       Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price, plus or minus prorations, shall be delivered to the Title Company in escrow for disbursement to Seller.

11.2.       National RV Lease.  At Closing, Buyer authorizes escrow to release to Seller its executed counterpart to the National RV Lease.

11.3.       Representations and Warranties.  As of the Closing Date, the representations and warranties made by Buyer to Seller as of the Effective Date shall be true, accurate and correct in all respects as if specifically remade at that time.

11.4.       Buyer Performance.  Buyer shall have performed and complied with all the agreements and conditions required in this Agreement to be performed and complied with by Buyer prior to Closing; and Escrow Holder may deem all such items to have been performed and complied with when Buyer has deposited all items in Escrow as required hereunder.

11.5.       Board Approval.  Seller shall have obtained the approval of its board of directors with respect to the sale of the Property hereunder on or before January 24, 2007.

11.6.       No Termination.  This Agreement shall not have been terminated pursuant to any other provision hereof.

In the event Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 11.5, then in addition to causing Escrow Holder to immediately return the Deposit to Buyer, Seller shall also pay to Buyer, within thirty (30) days after receipt a written invoice from Buyer, Buyer’s actual out-of-

13




pocket expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and Buyer’s performance of its Due Diligence Inspection (not to exceed, in the aggregate, $50,000).  The terms of this Section 11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.          PRORATIONS AND ADJUSTMENTS.  The following shall be prorated and adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing Date, except as otherwise specified:

12.1.       Taxes.  Buyer and Seller shall not prorate real estate taxes and assessments at Closing as the payment of such real estate taxes and assessments shall be the sole responsibility of Tenant under the National RV Lease.

12.2.       Base Rent.  Buyer shall receive a credit at Closing for the base rent owing from Tenant pursuant to the National RV Lease, for the portion of the month in which the Closing occurs that Tenant is a tenant under the National RV Lease.

12.3.       Utilities Contracts.  The parties shall not prorate water, electricity, sewer, gas, telephone and other utility charges (collectively, “Utilities”) as well as amounts due pursuant to any Contracts, since under the terms of the National RV Lease, Tenant shall be responsible for the timely payment of all such Utilities and Contracts.

12.4.       Other.  Such other items as are customarily prorated in transactions of this nature shall be ratably prorated.

For purposes of calculating prorations, Buyer shall be deemed to be in title to the Property, and therefore entitled to the income therefrom and responsible for the expenses thereof, for the entire day upon which the Closing occurs.  All such prorations shall be made on the basis of the actual number of days of the year and month that shall have elapsed as of the Closing Date.  The amount of such prorations shall be adjusted in cash after Closing, as and when complete and accurate information becomes available.  Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use their good faith and diligent efforts to make such adjustments as soon as is reasonably practicable after the Closing, but in no event later than December 31, 2007.  Items of income and expense for the period prior to the Closing Date will be for the account of Seller and items of income and expense for the period on and after the Closing Date will be for the account of Buyer, all as determined by the accrual method of accounting.  Bills received after Closing that relate to expenses incurred, services performed or other amounts allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date shall be paid by Seller.  Any amounts not so paid by Seller may be set off against amounts (if any) otherwise due Seller hereunder.  The obligations of the parties pursuant to this Section 12 shall survive the Closing and shall not merge into any documents of conveyance delivered at Closing.

13.          CLOSING EXPENSES.  Buyer will pay the premium for the Title Policy allocable to the “extended coverage” thereunder, the cost of any Endorsements, the cost of the Survey, one half the costs of any escrows hereunder and the cost of recording the Grant Deed.  Seller shall pay all documentary, county and municipal transfer taxes, premium for the Title Policy allocable to the CLTA “standard coverage” thereunder, any pre-payment penalties associated with the payment of any Seller indebtedness encumbering the Land or the

14




Improvements as contemplated under Section 5 above, and one-half of the cost of any escrows hereunder.  Any and all other costs shall be allocated in accordance with local custom.

14.          DESTRUCTION, LOSS OR DIMINUTION OF PROJECT.  If, prior to Closing, all or any portion of the Land or the Improvements are damaged by fire or other natural casualty (collectively “Casualty Damage”), or are taken or made subject to condemnation, eminent domain or other governmental acquisition proceedings (collectively “Eminent Domain”), then the following procedures shall apply:

(a)                                  If the aggregate cost of repair or replacement of the Casualty Damage (collectively, “repair and/or replacement”) is $1,000,000 or less, in the opinion of Buyer’s and Seller’s respective engineering consultants, Buyer shall close and take the Property as diminished by such events, subject to an assignment of Seller’s casualty insurance proceeds (plus the amount of any unpaid deductible) or an assignment of any condemnation award, as applicable.

(b)                                 If the aggregate cost of repair and/or replacement of the Casualty Damage is greater than $1,000,000, in the opinion of Buyer’s and Seller’s respective engineering consultants, or in the event of an Eminent Domain, then Buyer, at its sole option, may elect either to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller in which event the provisions of Section 21.8 governing a permitted termination by Buyer shall apply; or (ii) proceed to close subject to an assignment of the proceeds of Seller’s casualty insurance for all Casualty Damage plus the amount of any unpaid deductible (or condemnation awards for any Eminent Domain).  In such event, Seller shall fully cooperate with Buyer in the adjustment and settlement of the insurance claim.  The proceeds and benefits under any rent loss or business interruption policies attributable to the period following the Closing shall likewise be transferred and paid over (and, if applicable, likewise credited on an interim basis) to Buyer.

15.          DEFAULT.

15.1.       Default by Seller.  In the event that the sale is not consummated as a result of the fact that any of Seller’s Representations contained herein are not true and correct on the Effective Date and continuing thereafter through and including the Closing Date, or if Seller fails to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by Seller within the time for performance as specified herein (including Seller’s obligation to close), Buyer may elect either to (i) terminate Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement by written notice to Seller with a copy to Escrow Holder, in which event the Deposit shall be returned immediately to Buyer; or (ii) file an action for specific performance.  Seller agrees that in the event Buyer elects (ii) above, Buyer shall not be required to post a bond or any other collateral with the court or any other party as a condition to Buyer’s pursuit of an action.  Seller hereby covenants and agrees that in the event that a default on the part of Seller hereunder is willful in nature, Buyer may (in addition to any and all other remedies of Buyer hereunder) file an action for damages actually suffered by Buyer by reason of Seller’s defaults hereunder (including, but

15




not limited to, attorneys’ fees, engineering fees, fees of environmental consultants, appraisers’ fees, and accountants’ fees incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and any action hereunder).  The provisions of the immediately preceding sentence shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  Nothing in this Section 15.1 shall be deemed to in any way limit or prevent Buyer from exercising any right of termination provided to Buyer elsewhere in this Agreement.

15.1.1.    Default by Buyer.  BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER IN THE EVENT BUYER DEFAULTS HEREUNDER AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY AS HEREIN PROVIDED.  BUYER AND SELLER THEREFORE AGREE THAT A REASONABLE PRESENT ESTIMATE OF THE NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OR BREACH HEREUNDER IS AN AMOUNT OF MONEY EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT WHICH SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE 3275 OR 3369.  THE FOREGOING SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY HEREUNDER.

16




acknowledgment of Buyer’s assignment of this Agreement to the Intermediary in a form reasonably satisfactory to Seller.

16.3.       Natural Hazards Disclosure.  Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is required to disclose if any portion of the Land and Improvements lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones:  (i) a special flood hazard area designed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (California Civil Code Section 1102.17); (ii) an area of potential flooding (California Government Code Section 8589.4); (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone (California Governmental Code Section 51183.5); (iv) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards (Public Resources Code Section 4136); (v) an earthquake fault or special studies zone (Public Resources Code Section 2621 et seq.) or (vi)  a seismic hazard zone (Public Resources Code Section 2694).  Before the Closing Date, Seller shall provide Buyer with a Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement (“Disclosure Statement”).
