(a) Disclosure. Seller shall make to Buyer, through escrow, all of the applicable disclosures required by law (See American Industrial Real Estate Association (“AIR”) standard form entitled “Seller’s Mandatory Disclosure Statement”) and provide Buyer with a completed Property Information Sheet (“Property Information Sheet”) concerning the Property, duly executed by or on behalf of Seller in the current form or equivalent to that published by the AIR within N/A days following the Date of Agreement.  Buyer has N/A days from the receipt of said disclosures to approve or disapprove the matters disclosed.  SEE ADDENDUM

(l) Personal Property. In the event that any personal property is included in the Purchase Price, Buyer has 10 or         days from the Date of Agreement to satisfy itself with regard to the title condition of such personal property. Seller recommends that Buyer obtain a UCC-1 report. Any such report shall be paid for by Buyer. Seller shall provide Buyer copies of any liens or encumbrances affecting such personal property that it is aware of within 10 or         days of the Date of Agreement.

 

(m) Destruction, Damage or Loss. There shall not have occurred prior to the Closing, a destruction of, or damage or loss to, the Property or any portion thereof, from any cause whatsoever, which would cost more than $10,000.00 to repair or cure. If the cost of repair or cure is $10,000.00 or less, Seller shall repair or cure the loss prior to the Closing. Buyer shall have the option, within 10 days after receipt of written notice of a loss costing more than $10,000.00 to repair or cure, to either terminate this transaction or to purchase the Property notwithstanding such loss, but without deduction or offset against the Purchase Price. If the cost to repair or cure is more than $10,000.00, and Buyer does not elect to terminate this transaction, Buyer shall be entitled to any insurance proceeds applicable to such loss. Unless otherwise notified in writing, Escrow Holder shall assume no such destruction, damage or loss has occurred prior to Closing.

 

(n) Material Change. Buyer shall have 10 days following receipt of written notice of a Material Change within which to satisfy itself with regard to such change. “Material Change” shall mean a change in the status of the use, occupancy, tenants, or condition of the Property that occurs after the date of this offer and prior to the Closing. Unless otherwise notified in writing. Escrow Holder shall assume that no Material Change has occurred prior to the Closing.

 

(o) Seller Performance. The delivery of all documents and the due performance by Seller of each and every undertaking and agreement to be performed by Seller under this Agreement.

 

(p) Warranties. That each representation and warranty of Seller herein be true and correct as of the Closing. Escrow Holder shall assume that this condition has been satisfied unless notified to the contrary in writing by any Party prior to the Closing.

 

(q) Brokerage Fee. Payment at the Closing of such brokerage fee as is specified in this Agreement or later written instructions to Escrow Holder executed by Seller and Brokers (“Brokerage Fee”). It is agreed by the Parties and Escrow Holder that Brokers are a third party beneficiary of this Agreement insofar as the Brokerage Fee is concerned, and that no change shall be made with respect to the payment of the Brokerage Fee specified in this Agreement, without the written consent of Brokers.

 

9.2  All of the contingencies specified in subparagraphs (a) through (p) of paragraph 9.1 are for the benefit of, and may be waived by, Buyer, and may be elsewhere herein referred to as “Buyer Contingencies.”

 

9.3  If any Buyer’s Contingency or any other matter subject to Buyer’s approval is disapproved as provided for herein in a timely manner (“Disapproved Item”), Seller shall have the right within 10 days following the receipt of notice of Buyer’s disapproval to elect to cure such Disapproved Item prior to the Expected Closing Date (“Seller’s Election”). Seller’s failure to give to Buyer within such period, written notice of Seller’s commitment to cure such Disapproved Item on or before the Expected Closing Date shall be conclusively presumed to be Seller’s Election not to cure such Disapproved Item. If Seller elects, either by written notice or failure to give written notice, not to cure a Disapproved Item, Buyer shall have the election, within 10 days after Seller’s Election to either accept title to the Property subject to such Disapproved Item, or to terminate this transaction. Buyer’s failure to notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s election to accept title to the Property subject to the Disapproved Item without deduction or offset shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this transaction. Unless expressly provided otherwise herein, Seller’s right to cure shall not apply to the remediation of Hazardous Substance Conditions or to the Financing Contingency. Unless the Parties mutually instruct otherwise, if the time periods for the satisfaction of contingencies or for Seller’s and Buyer’s said Elections would expire on a date after the Expected Closing Date, the Expected Closing Date shall be deemed extended for 3 business days following the expiration of: (a) the applicable contingency period(s), (b) the period within which the Seller may elect to cure the Disapproved Item, or (c) if Seller elects not to cure, the period within which Buyer may elect to proceed with this transaction, whichever is later.

 

9.4  Buyer understands and agrees that until such time as all Buyer’s Contingencies have been satisfied or waived, Seller and/or its agents may solicit, entertain and/or accept back-up offers to purchase the subject Property.

 

9.5  The Parties acknowledge that extensive local, state and Federal legislation establish broad liability upon owners and/or users of real property for the investigation and remediation of Hazardous Substances. The determination of the existence of a Hazardous Substance Condition and the evaluation of the impact of such a condition are highly technical and beyond the expertise of Brokers. The Parties acknowledge that they have been advised by Brokers to consult their own technical and legal experts with respect to the possible presence of Hazardous Substances on this Property or adjoining properties, and Buyer and Seller are not relying upon any investigation by or statement of Brokers with respect thereto. The Parties hereby assume all responsibility for the impact of such Hazardous Substances upon their respective interests herein.

10.1  Five days prior to the Closing date Escrow Holder shall obtain an updated Title Commitment concerning the Property from the Title Company and provide copies thereof to each of the Parties.

(f) If the Property is located in California, an affidavit executed by Seller to the effect that Seller is not a “nonresident” within the meaning of California Revenue and Tax Code Section 18862 or successor statutes.

(g) If applicable, a bill of sale, duly executed, conveying title to any included personal property to Buyer.

 

(h) If the Seller is a corporation, a duly executed corporate resolution authorizing the execution of this Agreement and the sale of the Property.

(b) If a Purchase Money Note and Purchase Money Deed of Trust are called for by this Agreement, the duly executed originals of those documents, the Purchase Money Deed of Trust being recordable form, together with evidence of fire insurance on the improvements in the amount of the full replacement cost naming Seller as a mortgage loss payee, and a real estate tax service contract (at Buyer’s expense), assuring Seller of notice of the status of payment of real property taxes during the life of the Purchase Money Note.

In the event there is a Purchase Money Deed of Trust in this transaction, the policy of title insurance shall be a joint protection policy insuring both Buyer and Seller.

IMPORTANT: IN A PURCHASE OR EXCHANGE OF REAL PROPERTY, IT MAY BE ADVISABLE TO OBTAIN TITLE INSURANCE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CLOSE OF ESCROW SINCE THERE MAY BE PRIOR RECORDED LIENS AND ENCUMBRANCES WHICH AFFECT YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY BEING ACQUIRED. A NEW POLICY OF TITLE INSURANCE SHOULD BE OBTAINED IN ORDER TO ENSURE YOUR INTEREST IN THE PROPERTY THAT YOU ARE ACQUIRING.

24.                               Disclosures Regarding The Nature of a Real Estate Agency Relationship.

 

24.1  The Parties and Brokers agree that their relationship(s) shall be governed by the principles set forth in the applicable sections of the California Civil Code, as summarized in paragraph 24.2.

 

24.2  When entering into a discussion with a real estate agent regarding a real estate transaction, a Buyer or Seller should from the outset understand what type of agency relationship or representation it has with the agent or agents in the transaction. Buyer and Seller acknowledge being advised by the Brokers in this transaction, as follows:

 

(a) Seller’s Agent. A Seller’s agent under a listing agreement with the Seller acts as the agent for the Seller only.  A Seller’s agent or subagent has the following affirmative obligations: (1) To the Seller: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Seller. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b.  A duty of honest and fair dealing and good faith. c. A duty to disclose all facts known to the agent materially affecting the value or desirability of the property that are not known to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties.  An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

 

(b) Buyer’s Agent. A selling agent can, with a Buyer’s consent, agree to act as agent for the Buyer only.  In these situations, the agent is not the Seller’s agent, even if by agreement the agent may receive compensation for services rendered, either in full or in part from the Seller.  An agent acting only for a Buyer has the following affirmative obligations. (1) To the Buyer: A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty, and loyalty in dealings with the Buyer. (2) To the Buyer and the Seller: a. Diligent exercise of reasonable skills and care in performance of the agent’s duties. b. A duty of honest and

to, or within the diligent attention and observation of, the Parties.  An agent is not obligated to reveal to either Party any confidential information obtained from the other Party which does not involve the affirmative duties set forth above.

 

(c) Agent Representing Both Seller and Buyer. A real estate agent, either acting directly or through one or more associate licenses, can legally be the agent of both the Seller and the Buyer in a transaction, but only with the knowledge and consent of both the Seller and the Buyer. (1) In a dual agency situation, the agent has the following affirmative obligations to both the Seller and the Buyer: a. A fiduciary duty of utmost care, integrity, honesty and loyalty in the dealings with either Seller or the Buyer. b. Other duties to the Seller and the Buyer as stated above in their respective sections (a) or (b) of this paragraph 24.2. (2) In representing both Seller and Buyer, the agent may not without the express permission of the respective Party, disclose to the other Party that the Seller will accept a price less than the listing price or that the Buyer will pay a price greater than the price offered. (3) The above duties of the agent in a real estate transaction do not relieve a Seller or Buyer from the responsibility to protect their own interests. Buyer and Seller should carefully read all agreements to assure that they adequately express their understanding of the transaction. A real estate agent is a person qualified to advise about real estate. If legal or tax advice is desired, consult a competent professional.

 

(d) Further Disclosures. Throughout this transaction Buyer and Seller may receive more than one disclosure, depending upon the number of agents assisting in the transaction. Buyer and Seller should each read its contents each time it is presented, considering the relationship between them and the real estate agent in this transaction and that disclosure. Brokers have no responsibility with respect to any default or breach hereof by either Party. The liability (including court costs and attorneys’ fees), of any Broker with respect to any breach of duty, error or omission relating to this Agreement shall not exceed the fee received by such Broker pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation on each Broker’s liability shall not be applicable to any gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Broker.

 

24.3 Confidential Information. Buyer and Seller agree to identify to Brokers as “Confidential” any communication or information given Brokers that is considered by such Party to be confidential.  See Addendum.

 

25.                               Construction of Agreement. In construing this Agreement, all headings and titles are for the convenience of the parties only and shall not be considered a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context, the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. Unless otherwise specifically indicated to the contrary, the word “days” as used in this Agreement shall mean and refer to calendar days.  This Agreement shall not be construed as if prepared by one of the parties, but rather according to its fair meaning as a whole, as if both parties had prepared it.

 

26.                               Additional Provisions:

 

Additional provisions of this offer, if any, are as follows or are attached hereto by an addendum consisting of paragraphs                        through                         . (If there are no additional provisions write “NONE”.)

 

See Addendum to the Standard Offer, Agreement and Escrow Instructions for Purchase of Real Estate dated March 24, 2003.
