     5.4. During the term of this Agreement and at all times during which access is available to Buyer, Buyer shall maintain, and shall require its subcontractors and agents to maintain, insurance in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, with insurance companies reasonably acceptable to Seller, as follows: Comprehensive General Liability or Commercial General Liability Insurance, with limits of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) combined single limit per occurrence and not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) on a general aggregate basis, for bodily injury, death and property damage; and Excess (umbrella) liability insurance with liability insurance with limits of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) per occurrence.

A certificate, together with any endorsements to the policy required to evidence the coverage which is to be obtained hereunder,

4 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

shall be delivered to Seller prior to entry on the Property. The certificate shall expressly provide that no less than thirty (30) days prior written notice shall be given Seller in the event of any material alteration to or cancellation of the coverages evidenced by said certificate. A renewal certificate for each of the policies required in this Section shall be delivered to Seller not less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the term of such policy. Any policies required by the provisions of this Section may be made a part of a blanket policy of insurance with a “per project, per location endorsement” so long as such blanket policy contains all of the provisions required herein and does not reduce the coverage, impair the rights of the other party to this Agreement or negate the requirements of this Agreement.
     5.5. During the course of its performance of the Inspections, Buyer has acquired and will acquire knowledge concerning the Property and Seller, and knowledge of other matters of a sensitive business nature (collectively, “Privileged Information”). Except as described below, neither Buyer nor its agents shall disclose to any third party, publicize or suffer or permit any of their respective employees to so disclose or publicize any such Privileged Information, other than to consultants, attorneys, agents and prospective investors as necessary for Buyer’s inspection and analysis of the Property. In the event that Buyer believes in good faith that it is required by any legal requirement to disclose any such Privileged Information, then Buyer shall immediately notify Seller of such belief and the reasons for such belief. If within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice, Seller advises the party that sent the notice that Seller shall itself disclose the information, then Buyer shall not make such disclosure (unless either such party reasonably believes that it must disclose such information by law). If Buyer reasonably believes that such disclosure is required to be made in less than the ten (10) day period, then the notice to Seller shall so state and Seller’s time to respond will be reduced accordingly.
     5.6. The obligations of Buyer described in this Section 5 shall survive the Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
6. Approval.
     6.1. Buyer has approved and hereby approves the materials described in Section 4 and all Inspections.
     6.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer hereby agrees that, in the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Buyer shall promptly, and at its sole expense, return to Seller all Due Diligence Items which have been delivered to Buyer, and, upon Seller written request, deliver to Seller copies of all reports, drawings, plans, studies, summaries, surveys, maps and other data prepared by third parties relating to the Property, subject to restrictions on Buyer’s ability to make any such materials available to Seller that are imposed in any agreement with a third party consultant preparing any such reports or materials (“Buyer’s Reports”); provided, however, that delivery of such copies and information by Buyer shall be without warranty or representation whatsoever, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranty or representation as to ownership, accuracy, adequacy or completeness thereof or otherwise.

     6.3. On or prior to the expiration of the Financing Contingency, Buyer will designate in a written notice to Seller which Contracts Buyer will assume. At Buyer’s expense, Seller shall terminate the balance of the Contracts by means of a notice of termination to be delivered at or prior to Closing. Taking into account any credits or prorations to be made pursuant to this Agreement for payments coming due after Closing but accruing prior to Closing, Buyer will assume the obligations arising from and after the Closing Date under those Contracts which Buyer has designated will be assumed.

               7.7.1.1. Taxes and Assessments. All non-delinquent real property taxes, assessments and other governmental impositions of any kind or nature, including, without limitation, any special assessments or similar charges (collectively, “Taxes”), which relate to the tax year within which the Closing occurs based upon the actual number of days in the tax year. With respect to any portion of the Taxes which are payable by any Tenant directly to the authorities, no proration or adjustment shall be made. The proration for Taxes shall be based upon the most recently issued tax bill for the Property, and shall be calculated based upon the maximum early payment discount available. In the event that the most recently issued tax bill for the Property does not relate to the tax year within which the Closing occurs, then the parties shall adjust the proration of Taxes within one hundred eighty (180) days after Buyer receives the tax bill for the tax year within which the Closing occurs; otherwise the proration for Taxes which are made at Closing shall be final and not subject to reproration. Upon the Closing, Buyer shall be responsible for Taxes payable from and after the Closing. In no event shall Seller be charged with or be responsible for any increase in Taxes resulting from the sale of the Property or from any improvements made or leases entered into after the Closing. With respect to all periods for which Seller has paid Taxes, Seller hereby reserves the right to institute or continue any proceeding or proceedings for the reduction of the assessed valuation of the Property, and, in its

8 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

sole discretion, to settle the same. Seller shall have the sole authority to control the progress of, and to make all decisions with respect to, such proceedings but shall provide Buyer with copies of all communications with the taxing authorities. All net tax refunds and credits which are attributable to any period prior to the Closing which Seller has paid or for which Seller has given a credit to Buyer shall belong to and be the property of Seller; provided, however, that any such refunds and credits that are the property of Tenants under Leases shall be promptly remitted by Seller directly to such Tenants or to Buyer for the credit of such Tenants. All net tax refunds and credits attributable to any period subsequent to the Closing shall belong to and be the property of Buyer. Buyer agrees to cooperate with Seller in connection with the prosecution of any such proceedings and to take all steps, whether before or after the Closing, as may be necessary to carry out the intention of this Subsection 7.7.1.1, including the delivery to Seller, upon demand, of any relevant books and records, including receipted tax bills and cancelled checks used in payment of such Taxes, the execution of any and all consent or other documents, and the undertaking of any acts necessary for the collection of such refund by Seller. Buyer agrees that, as a condition to the transfer of the Property by Buyer, Buyer will cause any transferee to assume the obligations set forth herein.
               7.7.1.2. Rents. Buyer will receive a credit at the Closing for all rents collected by Seller prior to the Closing and allocable to the period from and after the Closing based upon the actual number of days in the month. No credit shall be given Seller for accrued and unpaid rent or any other non-current sums due from Tenants until these sums are paid, and Seller shall retain the right to collect any such rent provided Seller does not sue to evict any tenants or terminate any Leases. Buyer shall cooperate with Seller after the Closing to collect any rent under the Leases which has accrued as of the Closing; provided, however, Buyer shall not be obligated to sue any Tenants or exercise any legal remedies under the Leases or to incur any expense over and above its own regular collection expenses. All payments collected from Tenants after the Closing shall first be applied to the month in which the Closing occurs, then to any rent due to Buyer for the period after Closing and finally to any rent due to Seller for the period prior to Closing; payments collected by either party after Closing shall be paid over to the party entitled thereto under this Section 7.7.1.2 within five (5) business days after receipt thereof.
               7.7.1.3. CAM Expenses. To the extent that Tenants are reimbursing Seller as landlord under the Leases for common area maintenance and other operating expenses (collectively, “CAM Charges”), CAM Charges shall be prorated at Closing and, as provided below, again subsequent to Closing. Prorations shall be made as of the date of Closing 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 hereinafter defined) 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. Five (5) days prior to Closing, Seller shall submit to Buyer an itemization of its actual CAM Charges through such date and the amount of CAM Charges received by Seller as of such date, together with an estimate of CAM Charges to be incurred through the Closing Date. In the event that Seller has received CAM Charges payments in excess of its actually incurred CAM Charges, Buyer shall be entitled to receive a credit against

9 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

the Purchase Price for the excess. In the event that Seller has received CAM Charges payments less than its actual CAM Charges operating expenses, to the extent that the Leases provide for a “true up” at the end of the CAM Lease Year, Seller shall be entitled to receive any deficit, but only after Buyer has received any true up payment from the Tenant. Upon receipt by either party of any CAM Charges true up payment from a Tenant, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party its allocable share of the “true up” payment within five (5) business days of the receipt thereof.
               7.7.1.4. Operating Expenses. All operating expenses, including all charges under the Contracts which are assumed by Buyer but excluding CAM Charges, shall be prorated, and as to each service provider, operating expenses payable or paid to such service provider in respect to the billing period of such service provider in which the Closing occurs (the “Current Billing Period”), shall be prorated on a per diem basis based upon the number of days in the Current Billing Period prior to the Closing and the number of days in the Current Billing Period from and after the Closing, and assuming that all charges are incurred uniformly during the Current Billing Period. If actual bills for the Current Billing Period are unavailable as of the Closing, then such proration shall be made on an estimated basis based upon the most recently issued bills, subject to readjustment upon receipt of actual bills.
               7.7.1.5. Security Deposits; Prepaid Rents. Prepaid rentals and other tenant charges and security deposits (including any portion thereof which may be designated as prepaid rent) under Leases, if and to the extent that such deposits are in Seller’s actual possession or control and have not been otherwise applied by Seller to any obligations of any Tenants under the Leases, shall be credited against the Purchase Price, and upon the Closing, Buyer shall assume full responsibility for all security deposits to be refunded to the Tenants under the Leases.
               7.7.1.6. Leasing Costs. Seller shall receive a credit at the Closing for all leasing costs, including, without limitation, tenant improvement costs and allowance and its pro-rata leasing commissions previously paid by Seller in connection with any Lease and/or any renewal, expansion and/or other modification of an existing Lease which was entered into after the Effective Date and which is approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, which approval included approval of the tenant improvement costs, along with reasonable attorney’s fees incurred by Seller in negotiating the same. Seller’s pro-rata share shall be equal to a fraction which has as its numerator the number of months left in the base term of the Lease after the Closing and which has as its denominator the number of months in the base term of the Lease. With respect to tenant improvement allowances and leasing commissions due and payable prior to Closing in connection with the current term of Leases in effect as of the Effective Date, Seller shall either pay such costs on or prior to Closing or give Buyer a credit at Closing, and Buyer shall be deemed to have assumed all Lease obligations for which Buyer receives a credit at Closing. Buyer shall not receive a credit for any unexpired rent concessions under the Leases.
               7.7.1.7. Percentage Rent. Any percentage rents due or paid under any of the Leases (“Percentage Rent”) shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller outside of Closing as of the Closing on a Lease-by-Lease basis, as follows; (a) Seller shall be entitled to

10 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

receive the portion of the Percentage Rent under each Lease for the Lease Year in which Closing occurs, which portion shall be the ratio of the number of days of said Lease Year in which Seller was Landlord under the Lease to the total number of days in the Lease Year, and (b) Buyer shall receive the balance of Percentage Rent paid under each Lease for the Lease Year. As used herein, the term “Lease Year” means the twelve (12) month period as to which annual Percentage Rent is owed under each Lease. Upon receipt by either Buyer or Seller of any gross sales reports (“Gross Sales Reports”) and any full or partial payment of Percentage Rent from any tenant of the Property, the party receiving the same shall provide to the other party a copy of the Gross Sales Report and a check for the other party’s prorata share of the Percentage Rent within five (5) days of the receipt thereof. In the event that the Tenant only remits a partial payment, then the amount to be remitted to the other party shall be its prorata share of the partial payment. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or construed to require either Buyer or Seller to pay to the other party its prorata share of the Percentage Rent prior to receiving the Percentage Rent from the Tenant, and the acceptance or negotiation of any check for Percentage Rent by either party shall not be deemed a waiver of that party’s right to contest the accuracy or amount of the Percentage Rent paid by the Tenant.
          7.7.2. Calculation; Reproration. Prior to Closing the Seller and Escrow Holder shall jointly prepare an estimated closing statement which shall set forth the costs payable under Sections 7.5 and 7.6 and the prorations and credits provided for in Section 7.7.1 and elsewhere in this Agreement. 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 adjusted when the information is available in accordance with this subsection. The estimated closing statement as adjusted as aforesaid and approved in writing by the parties shall be referred to herein as the “Closing Statement.” If the prorations and credits made under the Closing Statement shall prove to be incorrect or incomplete for any reason, then either party shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same; provided, however, that any adjustment shall be made, if at all, within sixty (60) days after the Closing (except with respect to CAM Charges, in which case such adjustment shall be made within thirty (30) days after the information necessary to perform such adjustment is available), and 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 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.
          7.7.3. Items Not Prorated. Seller and Buyer agree that (i) on the Closing, the Property will not be subject to any financing arranged by Seller, (ii) none of the insurance policies relating to the Property will be assigned to Buyer, and Buyer shall responsible for arranging for its own insurance effective immediately after the Closing Date; and (iii) utilities, including telephone, electricity, water and gas, shall be read on the Closing Date, and Buyer shall be responsible for all the necessary actions needed to arrange for utilities to be transferred to the name of Buyer immediately after the Closing Date, including the posting of any required deposits, and Seller shall be entitled to recover and retain from the providers of such utilities any refunds or overpayments to the extent applicable to the period prior to the Closing, and any utility deposits which it or its predecessors may have posted. Accordingly, there will be no prorations for debt service, insurance or utilities. In the event a meter reading is unavailable for

11 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

any particular utility, such utility shall be prorated in the manner provided in Section 7.7.2 above.
          7.7.4. Indemnification. Buyer and Seller shall each indemnify, protect, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any claim in any way arising from the matters for which the other receives a credit or otherwise assumes responsibility pursuant to this Section.
          7.7.5. Survival. This Section 7.7 shall survive the Closing.

13 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

knowledge” or similar language is used herein with respect to the existence or absence of facts, it signifies that Seller has not undertaken any independent investigation of facts, but instead has based Seller’s representation solely upon the current actual knowledge of Michael Anaya, Vice President of Asset Management, who has been the asset manager in charge of the Property since August 2007, and is the employee of Seller most familiar with the Property.
     8.2. Approval of Property; Limitations on Seller Representations and Warranties.
          8.2.1. Except as is specifically provided in Section 8.1 of this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties as to the truth, accuracy, completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning any engineering or environmental reports, audits, the materials prepared by Seller or any other materials, data or other information whatsoever supplied to Buyer in connection with Buyer’s inspection of the Property. It is the parties’ express understanding and agreement that such materials are provided only for Buyer’s convenience in making its own examination of the Property, and, in doing so, Buyer has relied and shall rely exclusively on its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, Buyer expressly disclaims any intent to rely on any such materials provided to it by Seller in connection with its inspection and agrees that it shall rely solely on its own independently developed or verified information. Except with respect to all obligations in this Agreement (including, without limitation, Seller’s express representations and warranties) that are expressly stated to survive Closing, and the indemnity provisions contained in the documents delivered in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Surviving Obligations”), Buyer hereby releases Seller and its agents, representatives and employees from any and all claims, demands and causes of action, past, present and future that Buyer may have relating to (i) the condition of the Property at any time, before or after the Closing, including, without limitation, the presence of any hazardous materials; or (ii) any other matter pertaining to the Property. This release shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement.
          8.2.2. In the event of any material breach by Seller of any of the preceding representations or warranties or any other provision hereof which is discovered by Buyer prior to Closing, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be either: (i) to give written notice to Seller describing such breach and stating that, if Seller is unable to cure the breach within seven (7) days, this Agreement is terminated; or (ii) waive such material breach and proceed with the Closing. In the event of any material breach by Seller of any of such material representations or warranties or any other material breach by Seller of any other provision of this Agreement or any agreement delivered in connection herewith discovered after Closing, Seller shall be liable only for direct and actual damages suffered by Buyer on account of Seller’s breach, up to the applicable limits described hereunder, and shall in no event be liable for consequential or punitive damages. Any liability of Seller hereunder for breach of any such representations or warranties shall be limited to (a) claims in excess of an aggregate of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000); and (b) a maximum aggregate cap of Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000). Written notice of all such claims must be delivered to Seller no later than 180 days after the Closing Date. Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 8.1 and the other Surviving Obligations of Seller, if any, shall survive the Closing for a period of 180 days. Any claim whatsoever against Seller regarding this Agreement, any document or agreement delivered

14 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

hereunder, or the Property or this transaction must be asserted by written notice to Seller within 180 days after the Closing Date and commencement of arbitration pursuant to Section 14.3 below within three hundred sixty five (365) days after the Closing Date, otherwise such claim is forever barred and waived, notwithstanding any longer period that would otherwise be available under any applicable statute of limitations. In no event shall Seller be liable for any indirect or consequential damages on account of Seller’s breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Additionally, notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer becomes aware prior to the Closing that any representation or warranty hereunder is untrue, or any covenant or condition to Closing has not been fulfilled or satisfied (if not otherwise waived by Buyer), and Buyer nonetheless proceeds to close on the purchase of the Property, then Buyer shall be deemed to have irrevocably and absolutely waived, relinquished and released all rights and claims against Seller for any damage or other loss arising out of or resulting from such untrue representation or warranty or such unfulfilled or unsatisfied covenant or condition. Buyer shall be deemed to be aware of any matter (i) regarding which any employee or agent of Buyer has actual knowledge, (ii) which is disclosed in the Due Diligence Items and/or (iii) regarding which Buyer has received written notice, including, without limitation, any matters disclosed in Buyer’s Reports.
          8.2.3. Approval of Property. The consummation of the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed Buyer’s acknowledgement that it has had an adequate opportunity to make such legal, factual and other inspections, inquiries and investigations as it deems necessary, desirable or appropriate with respect to the Property. Such inspections, inquiries and investigations of Buyer shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, any leases and contracts pertaining to the Property, the physical components of all portions of the Property, the physical condition of the Property, such state of facts as an accurate survey, environmental report and inspection would show and the present and future zoning ordinance, ordinances and resolutions. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement and the Closing documents, Buyer shall not be entitled to and shall not rely upon, Seller or Seller’s agents with regard to, and Seller will not make any representation or warranty with respect to: (i) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of the Property including, but not limited to, the structural elements, foundation, roof, appurtenances, access, landscaping, parking facilities or the electrical, mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, sewage or utility systems, facilities or appliances at the Property, if any; (ii) the quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of soils or the existence of ground water at the Property; (iii) the existence, quality, nature, adequacy or physical condition of any utilities serving the Property; (iv) the development potential of the Property, its habitability or merchantability or the fitness, suitability or adequacy of the Property for any particular purpose; (v) the zoning or other legal status of the Property; (vi) the Property or its operations’ compliance with any applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes, ordinances, covenants, conditions or restrictions of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity or of any other person or entity; (vii) the quality of any labor or materials relating in any way to the Property; or (viii) the condition of title to the Property or the nature, status and extent of any right-of-way, lease, right of redemption, possession, lien, encumbrance, license, reservation, covenant, condition, restriction or any other matter affecting the Property except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY AND SELLER SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR WARRANTIES ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW,

15 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

INCLUDING, BUT IN NO WAY LIMITED TO, ANY WARRANTY OF CONDITION, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE. FURTHERMORE, SELLER HAS NOT, DOES NOT AND WILL NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY WITH REGARD TO COMPLIANCE WITH ANY ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION, POLLUTION OR LAND USE LAWS, RULES, REGULATIONS, ORDERS OR REQUIREMENTS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE PERTAINING TO THE HANDLING, GENERATING, TREATING, STORING OR DISPOSING OF ANY HAZARDOUS WASTE OR SUBSTANCE INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ASBESTOS, PCB AND RADON. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS A SOPHISTICATED BUYER FAMILIAR WITH THIS TYPE OF PROPERTY AND THAT, SUBJECT ONLY TO THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND CLOSING DOCUMENTS, BUYER WILL BE ACQUIRING THE PROPERTY “AS IS AND WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS,” IN ITS PRESENT STATE AND CONDITION, SUBJECT ONLY TO NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND BUYER SHALL ASSUME THE RISK THAT ADVERSE MATTERS AND CONDITIONS MAY NOT HAVE BEEN REVEALED BY BUYER’S INSPECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS. BUYER SHALL ALSO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS, WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS COLLATERAL TO OR AFFECTING THE PROPERTY BY SELLER, ANY AGENT OF SELLER OR ANY THIRD PARTY. THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING, AND NOT MERGE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF ANY CLOSING DOCUMENTS. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE OR BOUND IN ANY MANNER BY ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS OR INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE PROPERTY FURNISHED BY ANY REAL ESTATE BROKER, AGENT, EMPLOYEE, SERVANT OR OTHER PERSON, UNLESS THE SAME ARE SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH OR REFERRED TO IN THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO THE OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES IN SECTION 8.1 HEREOF OR IN THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, BUYER HEREBY RELEASES SELLER AND ITS AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES AND EMPLOYEES FROM ANY AND ALL LIABILITY RELATING TO THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY BEFORE OR AFTER THE CLOSING AND ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE PROPERTY, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN AT THE TIME OF THE CLOSING.
          8.2.4. Release. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement to the contrary and except for any claims arising under the express representations, warranties or covenants of Seller under this Agreement or under the indemnity provisions of any document delivered in connection with the Closing, Buyer for itself and its agents, affiliates, successors and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges Seller, and any party related to or affiliated with Seller and their respective successors and assigns (the “Seller Related Parties”) from and against any and all claims at law or equity which Buyer or any party related to or affiliated with Buyer and their respective successors and assigns (each a “Buyer Related Party”), whether known or unknown at the time of this agreement, which Buyer or a Buyer Related Party has or may have in the future, arising from or related to any matter or thing relating to or in connection with the

16 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

Property, including but not limited to, the documents and information referred to in this Agreement, the Leases and the Tenants, any construction defects, errors or omissions in the design or construction and arising out of the physical, environmental, economic or legal condition of the Property, including, without limitation, any claim for indemnification or contribution arising under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (42 U.S.C. Section 9601, et. seq.) or any similar federal, state or local statute, rule or ordinance relating to liability of property owners or operators for environmental matters. For the foregoing purposes, Buyer hereby specifically waives the provisions of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and any similar law of any other state, territory or jurisdiction. Section 1542 provides:
     A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
     BUYER HEREBY SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS CAREFULLY REVIEWED THIS SUBSECTION AND DISCUSSED ITS IMPORT WITH LEGAL COUNSEL AND THAT THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SUBSECTION ARE A MATERIAL PART OF THIS AGREEMENT.
     INITIALS ON BEHALF OF BUYER: /s/ RK
     8.3. Covenants of Seller. Seller hereby covenants as follows:
          8.3.1. At all times from the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall cause to be in force fire and extended coverage insurance upon the Property and public liability insurance with respect to damage or injury to persons or property occurring on the Property in at least such amounts as are maintained by Seller on the Effective Date.
          8.3.2. Prior to Closing, Seller will not enter into any new lease with respect to the Property, without Buyer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Exercise of a renewal option or expansion option shall not be considered a “new lease” for purposes of this Section 8.3.2. Further, Seller will not modify any existing Lease without first obtaining the written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Buyer shall have five (5) business days in which to approve or disapprove of any new lease for which it has a right to consent. Failure to respond in writing within said time period shall be deemed to be consent.
               8.3.2.1. After expiration or waiver of the Financing Contingency Period but before the Closing Date, and provided that Buyer has removed or waived, or is deemed to have waived, all contingencies to its obligation to close the transaction contemplated herein, if a Tenant either (1) vacates its premises and stops paying rent or (2) provides Seller written notice of Tenant’s intent to vacate its premises and stop paying rent (the Tenant’s premises being referred to in this Section as the “Vacated Space”) before the earlier of (a) the expiration date in the Tenant’s lease (the “Defaulting Lease”) or (b) the early termination date, if any, permitted under the Defaulting Lease, then Seller shall have the option to master lease the

17 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

Vacated Space through the earlier of (i) the expiration date of the Defaulting Lease or (ii) the early termination date, if any, permitted under the Defaulting Lease, on the same terms as the Defaulting Lease, except that Seller may, subject to Buyer’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, assign the master lease or sublet all or a portion of the Vacated Space. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing if any Tenant vacates its premises and stops paying rent or provides Seller written notice of its intent to vacate its premises and stop paying rent prior to the Defaulting Lease expiration date or any early termination date permitted therein, and shall have fifteen (15) business days thereafter, but in all events prior to Closing, to elect to master lease the Vacated Space as provided above. If Seller gives no notice of its election to master lease the Vacant Space, then Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not master lease the Vacated Space. If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, to not master lease the Vacated Space, then Buyer shall have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller given within ten (10) days thereafter, but in all events prior to Closing, in which case the Deposit, less one-half (1/2) of any escrow cancellation fee, shall be returned to Buyer upon the return of the Due Diligence Items. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then Buyer shall proceed with the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby. If Seller elects to master lease the Vacated Space, then Seller shall cooperate with Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, in terminating the Defaulting Lease.
          8.3.3. From the Effective Date through the Closing Date, Seller shall not sell, assign or convey any right, title or interest whatsoever in or to the Property, or create or permit to attach any lien, security interest, easement, encumbrance, charge or condition affecting the Property (other than the Permitted Exceptions) without promptly discharging the same prior to Closing.
          8.3.4. Except as may be necessary for health and safety, Seller shall not, without Buyer’s written approval, (a) amend or waive any right under any Contract; or (b) enter into any agreement of any type affecting the Property that is not terminable on 30 days notice.
          8.3.5. From and after the Effective Date, Seller shall operate the Property in the manner in which Seller has previously operated the Property; provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to make any capital improvements.
          8.3.6. From and after the Effective Date, Seller will promptly notify Buyer in writing of any Material Change affecting the Property that becomes known to Seller prior to the Closing. “Material Change” shall mean a material, adverse change in the status of the use, occupancy, tenants, or physical or environmental condition of the Property that occurs after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing
9. Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:
     9.1. Buyer is an individual. Buyer has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, to perform this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement is a legal, valid and binding obligation of Buyer, enforceable against Buyer in accordance with its terms, subject to the effect of applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,

18 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.
     9.2. The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of this Agreement, and all other agreements, instruments and documents referred to or contemplated herein or therein do not require the consent, waiver, approval, license or authorization of any person or public authority which has not been obtained and do not and will not contravene or violate (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both), the organizational documents of Buyer or any judgment, injunction, order, law, rule or regulation applicable to Buyer. Buyer is not a party to, or subject to or bound by, any judgment, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority or any lease, agreement, instrument or document which may restrict or interfere with the performance by Buyer of this Agreement, or such other leases, agreements, instruments and documents.
10. Conditions Precedent to Closing.
     10.1. The obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement shall, at the option of Buyer, be subject to the following conditions precedent:
          10.1.1. All of the representations, warranties and agreements of Seller set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date, and Seller shall not have on or prior to Closing, failed to meet, comply with or perform in any material respect any conditions or agreements on Seller’s part as required by the terms of this Agreement.
          10.1.2. There shall not exist any material, adverse encumbrance or title defect affecting the Property except for the Permitted Exceptions or matters to be satisfied at Closing.
          10.1.3. Seller shall have obtained and delivered to Buyer estoppel certificates, in accordance with their respective Leases, from Tenants representing seventy percent (70%) of the square feet which are leased and occupied by Tenants as of the Effective Date. Estoppel certificates may be on the form required by the applicable Lease or the form attached hereto as Exhibit D. Unless they disclose material, adverse matters inconsistent with their respective Leases, estoppel certificates shall be deemed to satisfy this condition precedent. With respect to Tenants who are governmental entities, if any, estoppel certificates in the standard form typically provided by such governmental entity shall satisfy this condition precedent. Buyer shall notify Seller within three (3) business days of receipt of a copy of the executed estoppel certificate of its approval or disapproval and the basis of such disapproval, if disapproved. If Buyer disapproves of an estoppel certificate because of a material, adverse matter disclosed therein which is inconsistent with its Lease, and Seller is unable to obtain a reasonably acceptable estoppel certificate prior to the Closing, this Agreement shall terminate upon Buyer’s written notice to Seller and return of the Due Diligence Items, Buyer shall be entitled to a refund of the Deposit and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, Seller shall have the right, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, but not the obligation,

19 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

to cure or otherwise satisfy the basis for Buyer’s disapproval of an estoppel certificate by the payment of money to a particular Tenant.
          10.1.4. Buyer shall have obtained on or before the 15th day following the Effective Date (the “Financing Contingency Period”) a commitment acceptable to Buyer to finance the purchase of the Property. If Buyer fails to give to Seller during this period written notice that this condition has been satisfied or waived (the “Financing Contingency Removal Notice”), then this Agreement shall automatically terminate at the expiration of this period and the Deposit, less one-half (1/2) of any escrow cancellation fee, shall be returned to Buyer upon return of the Due Diligence Items; Buyer’s obligations set forth in Section 5 shall survive such termination.
     10.2. The obligations of Seller under this Agreement shall, at the option of Seller, be subject to the following conditions precedent:
          10.2.1. All of the representations, warranties and agreements of Buyer set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Effective Date, and Buyer shall not have on or prior to Closing, failed to meet, comply with or perform in any material respect any conditions or agreements on Buyer’s part as required by the terms of this Agreement.
          10.2.2. Seller shall have received approval of the sale from all entities comprising Seller no later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date.
     10.3. If any such condition is not fully satisfied by Closing, the party in whose favor the condition runs shall notify the other party and may terminate this Agreement by written notice (in all events such written notice shall be given prior to Closing) whereupon this Agreement may be canceled, and upon return of the Due Diligence Items, the Deposit shall be paid to Buyer and, thereafter, neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any continuing obligations hereunder except as otherwise expressly set forth herein; provided, however, that if Buyer notifies Seller of a failure to satisfy the conditions precedent set forth in Section 10.1, Seller may, within five (5) days of receipt of Buyer’s notice agree to satisfy the condition by written notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall thereupon be obligated to close the transaction contemplated hereby provided Seller so satisfies such condition.
11. Damage or Destruction Prior to Closing. In the event that the Property should be damaged by any casualty prior to the Closing, then if the cost of repairing such damage, as reasonably estimated by Seller, is:
     11.1. Less than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000), the Closing shall proceed as scheduled, any insurance proceeds shall be assigned or distributed to Buyer to the extent not expended by Seller for restoration, and the Purchase Price payable at Closing shall be reduced by the amount equal to the deductible, if any, under Seller’s property insurance policy; or if said cost is:
     11.2. Equal to or greater than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000), then Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement, in which case upon return of the

20 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE


 

Due Diligence Items the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other, except for Buyer’s indemnification obligations under Section 5. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, any insurance proceeds shall be assigned or distributed to Buyer to the extent not expended by Seller for restoration and the Purchase Price payable at Closing shall be reduced by the amount equal to the deductible, if any, under Seller’s property insurance policy.
12. Eminent Domain. If, before the Closing, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or a material part of the Property which, as reasonably determined by Buyer, would render the Property unacceptable to Buyer or unsuitable for Buyer’s intended use, Buyer shall have the right, by giving notice to Seller within thirty (30) days after Seller gives notice of the commencement of such proceedings to Buyer, to terminate this Agreement, in which event this Agreement shall terminate, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer upon return of the Due Diligence Items and neither party shall have any further obligation to the other except for Buyer’s indemnification under Section 5. If, before the Closing, proceedings are commenced for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of less than such a material part of the Property, or if Buyer has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence but Buyer does not exercise such right, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, at the Closing, the condemnation award (or, if not therefore received, the right to receive such portion of the award) payable on account of the taking shall be transferred in the same manner as title to the Property is conveyed. Seller shall give notice to Buyer within three (3) business days after Seller’s receiving notice of the commencement of any proceedings for the taking by exercise of the power of eminent domain of all or any part of the Property.
13. Notices. All notices, demands and other communications of any type given by any party hereunder, whether required by this Agreement or in any way related to the transaction contracted for herein, shall be void and of no effect unless given in accordance with the provisions of this Section. All notices shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) by courier; (ii) by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service; (iii) by facsimile; or (iv) by e-mail. Notices delivered by facsimile or e-mail must be followed by confirmation via Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service. Notices shall be deemed received (i) if by courier, upon delivery or refusal of same; (ii) if by Federal Express or other nationally recognized overnight delivery service, the business day following deposit; (iii) if by facsimile, upon confirmation of transmission; and (iv) immediately following e-mail transmission. Any notice received on a non-business day or after 5:00 p.m. Pacific Time on a business day shall be deemed received on the next business day. Notices shall be given to the following addresses:

14. Remedies.
     14.1. Defaults by Seller. This Section 14.1 shall not apply to breaches of representations and warranties, which shall be governed by Section 8.2.2. above. If there is any default by Seller under this Agreement, following notice to Seller and seven (7) days, during which period Seller may cure the default, Buyer may, as it sole option, elect to either (i) declare this Agreement terminated in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer upon the return of the Due Diligence Items; or (ii) treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and bring an action against Seller for specific performance.
     14.2. Defaults by Buyer. If there is any default by Buyer under this Agreement, following notice to Buyer and seven (7) days, during which period Buyer may cure the default, then Seller may, as its sole remedy, declare this Agreement terminated, in which case the Deposit shall be paid to Seller as liquidated damages and each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities, except any which survive termination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer’s right to cure shall not be applicable to a failure to close and the Closing shall

22 - AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE
