If Buyer delivers a Title Update Objection by the Title Update Objection Deadline and the Title Update Exception has a material adverse effect upon the development, use or value of the Property, as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion,, then the removal of the Title Update Exception from the Title Policy issued at Closing shall be a condition to Buyer’s obligations with respect to the Closing. If a Title Update Exception does not have a material adverse effect upon the use or value of the Property, as determined by Buyer in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, such Title Update Exception shall be a Permitted Encumbrance. If Seller is unable by the scheduled Closing Date to cause the removal from the Title Policy of any Title Objections or Title Update Exceptions that are not Permitted Encumbrances, then Seller may elect to extend the Closing Date as provided in Section 8.2 below.

who Seller represents are the individuals most familiar with this transaction and the Property and in the best position to provide any such knowledge-based representations and warranties; consequently, Seller shall have no obligation or liability to Buyer of any nature whatsoever on account of or with respect to any untrue or inaccurate warranty or representation made to the best of Seller’s knowledge or to Seller’s actual knowledge unless Jennifer Ryu or Kristopher Meyer had actual personal knowledge that such representation or warranty was untrue or inaccurate when made. Neither Jennifer Ryu, Kristopher Meyer, nor any party other than Seller shall bear responsibility, liability, or obligation for any breach of representation.
6.2.Seller Updates Regarding Representations and Warranties. If Seller obtains actual knowledge that any representations or warranties of Seller have become untrue in any material respects during the term of this Agreement, Seller shall give Buyer immediate written notice of such untrue representation or warranty. In the event that, prior to the Closing, Buyer has actual knowledge of any breach by Seller of any representation or warranty under this Agreement (which representation Seller has not intentionally caused to become untrue and was true when made on the Effective Date), then (a) prior to the Closing, Buyer may elect (as its sole right and remedy) not to consummate the Closing and, instead, elect to terminate this Agreement in which case the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer; and (b) if, notwithstanding Buyer having actual knowledge of such breach prior to Closing Date, the Closing occurs then, after such Closing, Buyer shall have no right or remedy against Seller on account of such breach. If Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be required to first deliver a written notice to Seller which shall set forth the nature of the breach. Seller shall then have the right to elect, by delivery of written notice to Buyer not later than three (3) business days following receipt of Buyer’s termination notice, to extend the Closing Date for a period of up to thirty (30) days to enable Seller to cure said breach. In the event that Seller fails to timely send a cure notice or actually fails to timely cure such breach to Buyer’s sole satisfaction, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated as of the expiration of the thirtieth (30th) day following Buyer’s termination notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, in the event that Seller causes a representation to become untrue in any material respects which was true when made on the Effective Date or a Seller representation was untrue in any material respects when made on the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the rights and remedies available under Section 12.2 of this Agreement as a result of such breach, including without limitation the right to an immediate return of the Deposit.

6.3.Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller (each of which (i) is material and is being relied upon by Seller in entering into this Agreement, (ii) shall be true as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, and (iii) shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed for the Survival Period), and covenants as follows:

Buyer is solvent, has not been insolvent for the last one hundred twenty (120) days preceding the Effective Date, has not made a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors, and has not admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due, nor has Buyer filed, nor does it contemplate the filing of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or any other proceeding for the relief of debtors in general, nor has any such proceeding been instituted by or against Buyer, nor is any such proceeding to Buyer’s knowledge threatened or contemplated.

11.1.3.For purposes hereof, the term “material” shall be deemed to be any of (i) damage or destruction to the Improvements where the cost to repair the Improvements is more than $250,000, as determined by Seller’s insurance carrier; or (ii) any damage or destruction which is not fully (other than deductibles) covered by Seller’s insurance.

BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS AT THE END OF THIS SECTION 12.1, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT: (A) IF BUYER FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF BUYER’S BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AT LAW AND EQUITY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT AND RETAIN THE DEPOSIT PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY (SELLER HEREBY WAIVING ALL OTHER REMEDIES IT MAY HAVE AT LAW AND/OR EQUITY REGARDING SUCH BREACH); AND (B) BECAUSE OF THE NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IF SUCH A BREACH OCCURS AND THAT THEREFORE THE AMOUNT OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES SPECIFIED ABOVE SHALL BE PRESUMED TO BE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN BY REASON OF SUCH A BREACH AND REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THOSE DAMAGES PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671 THROUGH 1681.

12.2.Seller’s Default. If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement for any reason except failure by Buyer to perform hereunder, or if any one or more of Seller’s Representations or warranties was untrue when made or before Closing are breached in any materially adverse respect, and any such failure or breach is not cured by Seller within ten (10) days after receipt of written notice from Buyer specifying the nature of any such failure and/or breach, Buyer shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (a) terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election before or at Closing, in which event Buyer shall recover the Deposit and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for all of Buyer’s out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement (as evidenced by copies of paid invoices delivered to Seller), including, without limitation, legal fees and consultant fees and expenses, all of which

BUYER EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO SEEK DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF SELLER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 6.4 OR THIS SECTION 12.2. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if Buyer fails to either waive such failure and/or breach and proceed to Closing or to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before ninety (90) days following the Scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within ninety (90) days following the Scheduled Closing Date.
12.3.Recoverable Damages. Notwithstanding Sections 12.1 and 12.2, in no event shall the provisions of Sections 12.1 or 12.2 limit the damages recoverable by either Party against the other Party due to the other Party’s obligation to indemnify such Party in accordance with this Agreement or limit a Party’s ability to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses under Section 15.3.

12.5.Limitation on Damages for Breach of Warranty or Representations. Seller and Buyer agree that following the Closing, each shall be liable for the direct, but not consequential, incidental, indirect, punitive, special, or exemplary damages or lost profits, resulting from any breach of its warranties and representations expressly set forth in Section 6. 1 (Seller’s Representations) and Section 6. 2 (Representations and Warranties of Buyer) above.
13.LIKE-KIND EXCHANGE. At no cost or liability to the non-requesting Party, the non-requesting Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party by executing such documents or taking such action as the requesting Party may reasonably request in connection with any tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Tax Code, provided that (i) the transaction contemplated by this Agreement shall not be conditioned upon completion of such exchange; (ii) the non-requesting Party shall not be required to take title to any real property in connection with any such exchange; (iii) the non-requesting Party shall not incur any liability by reason of any such exchange; and (iv) the requesting Party shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the extension of any dates, as a result of any such exchange.

26

Conditioned expressly on the occurrence of the Closing, Seller shall pay a commission at Closing to each of the Seller’s Broker and the Buyer’s Broker with respect to the transaction contemplated herein pursuant to the terms of a separate written agreement. Seller and Buyer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the other against any costs, claims, or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of the breach of their respective representations and warranties set forth in Article 14.

15.2.Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire Agreement between the Parties and supersedes any other previous agreement, oral or written, between the Parties. This Agreement cannot be changed, modified, waived, or terminated orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the Parties hereto. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties hereto and their respective heirs, executors, personal representatives and permitted successors and assigns.
15.3.Attorneys’ Fees.

For purposes of this Section 15.3, a Party will be considered to be the “prevailing Party” if (a) such Party initiated the litigation and substantially obtained the relief which it sought (whether by judgment, voluntary agreement or action of the other Party, trial, or alternative dispute resolution process), (b) such Party did not initiate the litigation and either (i) received a judgment in its favor, or (ii) did not receive judgment in its favor, but the Party receiving the judgment did not substantially obtain the relief which it sought, or (c) the other Party to the litigation withdrew its claim or action without having substantially received the relief which it was seeking.

15.7.No Recordation of Agreement. The Parties agree that neither this Agreement nor any memorandum or notice thereof shall be recorded.
15.8.Assignment. Subject to the provisions of this Section 15.8, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are to apply to and bind the permitted successors and assigns of the Parties hereto. Buyer may not assign its rights under this Agreement without first obtaining Seller’s written approval, which approval may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion; provided, however, that Buyer shall have the right to assign all (but not less than all) of its rights and interest under this Agreement to an entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Buyer. For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, the term “control” and similar terms shall mean the ownership of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the voting and economic interests of the applicable entity.

Any transfer, directly or indirectly, of greater than fifty percent (50%) of the stock, partnership interest or other ownership interest in Buyer shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement.
15.9. Submission of Agreement. Submission of this form of Agreement for examination shall not bind Seller or Buyer in any manner nor be construed as an offer to sell, and no contract or obligations of Seller or Buyer shall arise until this Agreement has been executed by both Seller and Buyer.
15.10.Computation of Days. If the final date of any period set forth herein (including, but not limited to, the Closing Date) falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under the laws of the State or the United States of America, the final date of such period shall be extended to the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday. The term “days” as used herein shall mean calendar days, except for “Business Days,” which term shall mean each day except for any Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday under the laws of the State or the United States of America.
15.11.Reporting Requirements. Buyer and Seller shall each deposit such other instruments required to close the escrow and consummate the purchase and sale of the Property in accordance with the terms hereof, including, without limitation, an agreement designating the Title Company as the “Reporting Person” for the transaction pursuant to Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder, and executed by Seller, Buyer and the Title Company, but in no event shall such instruments impose, create or potentially create any liability for Seller or Buyer not expressly provided for herein. Such
29



agreement shall comply with the requirements of Section 6045(e) of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
15.12.Construction. This Agreement is the result of negotiations between the Parties, neither of whom has acted under any duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic, or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions hereof shall be construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings. Seller and Buyer hereby waive the application of any rule of law which otherwise would be applicable in connection with the construction of this Agreement that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions should be construed against the Party who (or whose attorney) prepared the executed Agreement or any earlier draft of the same.
15.13.Interpretation. If there is any specific and direct conflict between, or any ambiguity resulting from, the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any document, instrument or other agreement executed in connection herewith or in furtherance hereof, including any exhibits hereto, the same shall be consistently interpreted in such manner as to give effect to the general purposes and intention as expressed in this Agreement, which shall be deemed to prevail and control.
15.14.Confidentiality. Buyer and Buyer’s agents and representatives hereby covenant with Seller that except to the extent disclosure is required by law, including, without limitation, the California Public Records Act, Buyer and Buyer’s agents and representatives shall not, without the prior written consent of Seller (which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion), disclose to any other person (other than Buyer’s accountants and attorneys) or entity by any means whatsoever: (i) any information pertaining to Seller’s Due Diligence Materials; (ii) any information pertaining to this Agreement; or (iii) any information or documentation (written or oral) provided by Seller or Seller’s agents and representatives concerning Seller, Seller’s business, Tenant, Tenant’s business or the Property.
15.15.Attorneys’ and Consultants’ Fees. Seller and Buyer shall each pay the fees and disbursements of their respective attorneys and consultants relating to the transaction as set forth in this Agreement.

Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller may be required to disclose if any of the Property lies within the following natural hazard areas or zones: (i) a special flood hazard area designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency; (ii) an area of potential flooding; (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone; (iv) a wild land area that may contain substantial forest fire risks and hazards; (v) an earthquake fault or special studies zone; or (vi) a seismic hazard zone. Buyer and Seller hereby instruct Escrow Holder, or an affiliate thereof (who, in such capacity, is herein called the "Natural Hazard Expert") to examine the maps and other information specifically made available to the public by government agencies and to report the results of its examination to Buyer and Seller in writing. Escrow Holder shall provide a written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination no later than twenty (20) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. The written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations referred to herein, and, for the purposes of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding the non-liability of Seller for
30



errors and/or omissions not within its personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply, and the Natural Hazard Expert shall be deemed to be an expert dealing with matters within the scope of its expertise with respect to the examination and written report regarding the natural hazards referred to above.

1.17.Limitation on Liability. With the exception of Buyer’s rights under Section 12.2, Seller’s liability under this Agreement is explicitly limited to Seller’s interest in the Property, including any proceeds thereof, and Buyer shall have no recourse against any other property or assets of Seller or to any of the Seller Related Parties or of any of the assets or property of any of the foregoing for the payment or collection of any amount, judgment, judicial process, arbitral award, fee, or cost or for any other obligation or claim arising out of or based upon this Agreement and requiring the payment of money by Seller. With the exception of Buyer’s rights under Section 12.2, and except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Section 15.17, neither Seller nor any Seller Related Party shall be subject to levy, lien, execution, attachment, or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of any of Buyer’s rights or remedies under or with respect to this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise. Except for Buyer’s rights under Section 12.2, Buyer shall not seek enforcement of any judgment, award, right or remedy against any property or asset of Seller or any Seller Related Party other than Seller’s interest in the Property or any proceeds thereof. The provisions of this Section 15.17 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
1.18.Seller’s Right to Continue Marketing the Property. Until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall have the right to maintain the sale of the Property on listing services (such as CoStar and LoopNet), but not to (a) actively market the Property for sale, (b) engage in any negotiations with any third party regarding the potential sale of the Property, or (c) enter into any agreements or other writings with any third party regarding the potential sale of the Property. After the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and the delivery of the Additional Deposit to Escrow Holder, Seller shall remove the Property from the listing services.
1.19.Waiver of Jury Trial. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION BASED HEREON, ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY DOCUMENTS CONTEMPLATED TO BE EXECUTED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR ANY COURSE OF CONDUCT, COURSE OF DEALINGS, STATEMENTS (WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN) OR ANY ACTIONS OF EITHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED IN ANY MANNER WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY ACTION TO RESCIND OR CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLAIMS OR DEFENSES ASSERTING THAT THIS AGREEMENT WAS FRAUDULENTLY INDUCED OR IS OTHERWISE VOID OR VOIDABLE). THIS WAIVER IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR SELLER TO ENTER INTO AND ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS TO BE DELIVERED BY BUYER AT CLOSING AND SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSING OR TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Each Party hereby authorizes
31



and empowers the other to file this Section 15.19 and this Agreement with the clerk or judge of any court of competent jurisdiction as a written consent to waiver of jury trial.

1.20.Exhibits. All Exhibits attached to this Agreement form an integral part of this Agreement and each Exhibit shall be deemed to be incorporated into this Agreement as fully as if its contents were set forth in full at each point in this Agreement.
