Section 8.02.          Seller’s Default.  If Seller fails to close for any reason, except Purchaser’s default or the permitted termination of this Contract by either Seller or Purchaser (other than under this Section 8.02) as herein expressly provided, Purchaser shall be entitled to either (a) terminate this Contract upon written notice to Seller and to request the Escrow Agent to return the Purchase Price, together with all accrued interest thereon, to Purchaser or (b) pursue an action to enforce specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Contract.  Purchaser has no right, except as provided in the next sentence, to seek damages against Seller.  If Seller’s default is willful, Purchaser may, in lieu of specific performance (but not in lieu of the return of the Purchase Price), collect its actual out-of-pocket damages from Seller, not to exceed $100,000.  In no event shall any officer, director, agent or employee of Seller be personally liable for any of Seller’s obligations under this Contract or the documents to be delivered at the Closing.  This Section 8.02 shall not limit Purchaser’s remedies for Seller’s breach of any other covenant of this Contract which expressly survives the termination hereof; provided, however, in no event shall Seller be liable for any punitive or consequential damages.

Risk of Loss

Section 11.01.        Minor Damage.  In the event of “minor” loss or damage [being defined for the purpose of this Contract as damage to the Property such that the Property could be repaired or restored, in the opinion of an architect mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (with any fees, costs or expenses pertaining to such opinion to be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller), to a condition substantially identical to that of the Property immediately prior to the event of damage at a cost equal to or less than $100,000], neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract due to such damage but Seller shall, at Purchaser’s option as expressed to Seller in writing, either (a) reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the cost to repair such damage, or (b) repair and restore the damaged portion of the Property to a condition substantially identical to that which existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such damage and in either such event Seller shall retain all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies relating to the Property.  If Purchaser elects to have Seller repair and restore the damaged portion of the Property, Seller shall act promptly and diligently to complete such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and shall complete such repairs prior to the Closing Date if reasonably possible.

Section 11.02.        Major Damage.  In the event of a “major” loss or damage (being defined as any loss or damage which is not “minor” as defined hereinabove), Purchaser shall have the option

15




of terminating this Contract by written notice to Seller, in which event Seller and Purchaser shall thereupon be released from any and all liability hereunder and the Purchase Price, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be immediately returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent.  If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Contract, Purchaser and Seller shall proceed with the Closing, provided Seller shall assign all of Seller’s right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance policies relating to the Property, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any deductible(s) under the insurance policies assigned to Purchaser.

Section 11.03.        Vendor and Purchaser Risk Act.  Except as set forth in Section 11.01 and Section 11.02, Seller shall bear the full risk of loss until Closing.  Upon the Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

Section 11.04.        Condemnation.  If before the Closing any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are threatened or initiated against all or any portion of the Property and, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings would materially interfere with the current use of the Property, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract upon written notice to Seller and Seller and Purchaser shall thereupon be released from any and all further liability hereunder and the Purchase Price, together with all accrued interest thereon, shall be immediately returned to Purchaser by the Escrow Agent.  If Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Contract within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice of the commencement of any such proceedings (but in any event prior to the Closing Date), or if, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings would not materially interfere with Seller’s current use of the Property, the Closing shall take place as provided herein and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all rights and interest of Seller in and to any condemnation awards payable or to become payable on account of such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.

DISCLOSURE SCHEDULE

Seller discloses the following items with regards to its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 9.01 of the attached Purchase Agreement (the “Contract”) by and between Natrol Real Estate, Inc. and Natrol Real Estate II, Inc., collectively, as Seller, and Realty Associates Advisors, LLC, as Purchaser.

·                In November and December 2006, Seller received several Notices of Intent to Expire Permit from the Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (the “Department”) for various permits pertaining to the P Building and the O Building.  Seller contacted the Department about all such permits (except for Permit No. 97044-10000-01339 relating to a Duct Type Smoke Det).  Building inspectors for the Department indicated they were giving final approval for all such permits, either as a result of inspecting the properties or because of certificates of occupancy or permit cards that had been signed as finaled.  To Seller’s knowledge, the work for Permit No. 97044-10000-01339 was completed according to all applicable building codes.

·                Additional work at the P Building and O Building may have occurred for which permits were issued, but never finaled.

·                In 2004, a 14 x 16 foot demising wall for the packaging department was installed at the P Building without obtaining a building permit.

·                In 2005, two 14 x 12 foot office walls were installed at the P Building without obtaining a building permit.

·                There may be various improvements made to or personal property installed at the Property that were completed or installed in accordance with then-applicable building codes.  Such improvements and personal property may not be in compliance with current applicable building codes (e.g., in October 2004, NRE received information from a fire alarm contractor suggesting that NRE’s older smoke detectors and other devices at the P Building were not in compliance with current fire alarm codes.)

·                NRE II has not conducted annual tests of all of the irrigation back flow prevention devices at the O Building.

·                Seller was informed by its property casualty insurer that (1) material on the storage racks in the P Building may be stacked too high and certain materials or other items of inventory may be grouped too densely on such storage racks; and (2) Seller should install protective shields for its Halide lighting in both the O Building and the P Building (Seller is the process of replacing burnt-out Halide lights with those containing protective shields).

SELLER AGREES THAT ATTACHMENT OF THIS SCHEDULE TO THE CONTRACT DOES NOT INDICATE PURCHASER’S ACCEPTANCE OF THE ABOVE ITEMS NOR MODIFY OR OTHERWISE WAIVE ANY OF PURCHASER’S RIGHTS UNDER THE CONTRACT, INCLUDING PURCHASER’S RIGHT, FOR ANY OR NO REASON, TO TERMINATE THE CONTRACT DURING THE REVIEW PERIOD.

Notice

If your previous transaction involved the same property that is the subject of your current transaction, you do not have to do anything; the Company will provide the discount, provided you are paying for escrow or title services in this transaction.

If your previous transaction involved property different from the property that is the subject of your current transaction, you must - prior to the close of the current transaction - inform the Company of the earlier transaction, provide the address of the property involved in the previous transaction, and the date or approximate date that the escrow closed to be eligible for the discount.

Unless you inform the Company of the prior transaction on property that is not the subject of this transaction, the Company has no obligation to conduct an investigation to determine if you qualify for a discount. If you provide the Company information concerning a prior transaction, the Company is required to determine if you qualify for a discount which is subject to other terms and conditions.
