     a. Upon execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit into the Escrow, by confirmed wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, the amount of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”). Escrow Holder is authorized to immediately release the Deposit to Seller (or recipient designated by Seller) If Escrow Holder does not receive the Deposit by the time and date stated above in this Section 3.a. then Seller may, in its discretion, terminate this Agreement by written notice to Escrow Holder and Buyer, in which event the provisions of Section 12 below shall apply.
     b. The Deposit shall be applicable to the Purchase Price but non-refundable to Buyer when made, except upon a termination of this Agreement as a result of Seller’s default of a material obligation under this Agreement occurring prior to the Close of Escrow or a failure of an express condition precedent under this Agreement to Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property.
     c. The balance of the Purchase Price, together with Buyer’s share of costs to be paid and pro-rations to be made pursuant to Section 13 and Section 14 of this Agreement, shall be deposited by Buyer into the Escrow by confirmed wire transfer of immediately available federal funds, no later than 3:00 P.M.

4. Opening and Close of Escrow.
     a. For the purposes of this Agreement, the “Opening of Escrow” shall mean September 30, 2008. Buyer and Seller agree to execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable and customary supplemental instructions that may reasonably be requested by Escrow Holder or that may be necessary or convenient to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that such supplemental instructions shall be consistent with and shall not supersede this Agreement and in all cases this Agreement shall control.
     b. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Close of Escrow” shall mean the date on which the grant deed conveying title to all parcels of the Land to Buyer, in a form approved by Buyer (the “Grant Deed”), is recorded in the Official Records of the County.

     a. Title Matters. Title to the Land shall be in the condition shown as approved by Buyer in writing, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, prior to the Closing Date.
     b. Due Diligence Reviews. Buyer is familiar with the Land, its physical characteristics and its development entitlement status. Buyer is also familiar with the Contract Rights affecting the Property. Therefore, as further specified in Section 6.a. below, the Property is being acquired strictly on an “AS-IS, WHERE IS” basis without the need for due diligence investigation of a feasibility contingency for Buyer’s benefit.

Without in any way limiting the foregoing, and except only to the extent any Claims (defined below) are caused by the Seller Related Parties following the Effective Date or are covered by Seller’s express and explicit representations and warranties contained in Section 7 below, Buyer releases Seller and Seller’s Related Parties from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, judgments, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements), whether known or unknown, liquidated or contingent (collectively, “Claims”) which Buyer or any agent, representative, affiliate, employee, director, officer, partner, member, servant, shareholder, trustee or other person or entity acting on Buyer’s behalf or otherwise related to or affiliated with Buyer may have arising from or related to any matter or thing related to or in connection with the Property, including, without limitation, the documents and information referred to in this Agreement, any construction defects, errors or omissions in the design or construction of all or any portion of the Property and any physical, environmental or other conditions relating to or affecting the Property.

16. Default.
     a. SELLER’S DEFAULT. IF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER SHALL FAIL TO CLOSE SOLELY BY REASON OF SELLER’S DEFAULT IN THE PERFORMANCE OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (AS DISTINGUISHED FROM THE FAILURE OF A CONDITION TO CLOSING), AND SUCH DEFAULT IS NOT CURED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT BY SELLER OF WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF FROM BUYER, THEN BUYER SHALL HAVE AS ITS EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES THE RIGHT TO EITHER (i) TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT (IN WHICH EVENT THE TERMINATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 12 ABOVE SHALL APPLY), BUYER HEREBY WAIVING ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM TO DAMAGES FOR SELLER’S BREACH, OR (ii) SPECIFICALLY ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT (BUT NO OTHER ACTION, FOR DAMAGES OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE PERMITTED); PROVIDED THAT ANY ACTION BY BUYER FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE MUST BE COMMENCED, IF AT ALL, WITHIN SIXTY (60) DAYS OF SELLER’S DEFAULT, THE FAILURE OF WHICH SHALL CONSTITUTE A WAIVER BY BUYER OF SUCH RIGHT AND REMEDY. IF BUYER SHALL NOT HAVE COMMENCED AN ACTION FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE AFOREMENTIONED TIME PERIOD OR SO NOTIFIED SELLER OF ITS ELECTION TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT, BUYER’S SOLE REMEDY SHALL BE TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH CLAUSE (i) ABOVE.
     b. BUYER’S DEFAULT. IN THE EVENT THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE DUE TO THE DEFAULT OF BUYER THAT IS NOT CURED WITHIN TEN (10) DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF WRITTEN NOTICE FROM SELLER SPECIFYING SUCH DEFAULT, THEN SELLER’S RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY, FOR SUCH DEFAULT, SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT THAT EXPRESSLY SURVIVE A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHTS OR DAMAGES UNDER ANY INDEMNITIES GIVEN BY BUYER TO SELLER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER AND BUYER HAVE DISCUSSED THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT THE ESCROW FAILS TO CLOSE AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT. SELLER AND BUYER HAVE DETERMINED AND HEREBY AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES TO SELLER OCCURRING IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. THE PARTIES, HAVING MADE DILIGENT BUT UNSUCCESSFUL ATTEMPTS TO ASCERTAIN THE ACTUAL COMPENSATORY DAMAGES SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S NONPERFORMANCE OF ANY OBLIGATION HEREUNDER, HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE

Page 10


 

DEPOSIT, AND IN THE EVENT THIS TRANSACTION FAILS TO CLOSE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE AND RETAIN THE SAME AS FULLY AGREED LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SELLER WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO SEEK OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES AGAINST BUYER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. THE PAYMENT AND RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389. UPON ANY SUCH BREACH OR DEFAULT BY BUYER HEREUNDER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER, EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO RETAIN SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED ABOVE. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT, UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THIS TRANSACTION AND THE MARKETPLACE AT THE TIME HEREOF, THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION IS REASONABLE AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 1671.

     17. Right of Entry. In the event that Buyer’s lender(s), consultants, contractors or financial partners (collectively, “Buyer’s Representatives”) wish to enter onto the Land in order to conduct investigations, inspections, tests or studies (the “Investigations”), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate or certificates evidencing the Required Insurance Coverage specified in Section 18 below. Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, costs, liabilities and/or expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) caused by Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives in connection with any Investigations; provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer be responsible for any environmental conditions existing on the Land and discovered by (but not caused or exacerbated by an act or knowing omission of) Buyer during the course of Buyer’s investigation of the Land, or any acts of Seller or Seller’s affiliates. The foregoing obligation shall survive the Close of Escrow or termination of this Agreement.

The following shall constitute the “Required Insurance Coverage” of a party pursuant to Section 17 above: comprehensive public liability insurance with liability coverage of at least One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of not less than One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy of bodily injury and property damage in the amount of Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($5,000,000.00), insuring Seller as an additional insured.
     19. Condemnation Prior to Closing. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of any condemnation proceedings affecting the Property commenced prior to the Close of Escrow. If any such proceeding occurs, this Agreement shall continue in effect, without delay or abatement of the Purchase Price, and Buyer shall be entitled to any compensation, awards or other payments or relief resulting from

Page 11


 

such condemnation proceeding to the extent applicable to the Property. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Close of Escrow.
     20. Brokers. Buyer and Seller each warrant and covenant to the other that no fees or commissions are due or owing to any finders or brokers as a result of this transaction. Buyer and Seller agree that any outstanding listing agreements will be terminated upon the successful close of escrow and no commission will be due thereunder for the transaction contemplated herein. In the event of any claim for brokers’ or finders’ fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the purchase and sale of the Property, then Buyer shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Seller from and against any such claim based upon the alleged statement, representation or agreement by Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Buyer from and against any such claim based upon any alleged statement, representation or agreement by Seller. The provisions of this Section shall survive the Close of Escrow.
     21. Assignment. Buyer may not assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent, except as provided below, may be withheld by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion, and which may be conditioned upon such terms and conditions as Seller may require, in its sole and absolute discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent to a requested transfer to any entity or entities affiliated with Buyer if such request is made in writing delivered to Seller and Escrow Holder not later than fifteen (15) days prior to the Close of Escrow. Seller’s delay in granting a requested consent shall not be deemed unreasonable while the results of any background checks on the proposed transferee(s) and its principals and affiliates which Seller is required to conduct under the USA Patriot Act of 2001 are pending; nor shall the withholding by Seller of its approval of the proposed transferee(s) be deemed unreasonable if any such background check discloses that the proposed transferee(s) or any principal or affiliate of the proposed transferee(s) is or may be associated with money laundering or terrorism-related activities, as more specifically detailed in the USA Patriot Act of 2001. In the event of an assignment or transfer which has been consented to by Seller in writing, the transferee shall assume in writing all of the transferor’s obligations hereunder, but neither Buyer nor any subsequent transferor shall be released from any obligations hereunder by reason of such consent or transfer. Notwithstanding and without limiting the foregoing, no consent given by Seller to any transfer or assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations hereunder shall be deemed to constitute a consent to any other transfer or assignment of Buyer’s rights or obligations hereunder and no transfer or assignment in violation of the provisions hereof shall be valid or enforceable. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and the terms and provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.
     22. Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing, and shall be personally delivered or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, telegraphed, delivered or sent by telecopy or reputable overnight courier (such as Federal Express) and shall be deemed received upon the earlier of (i) if personally delivered, the date of delivery to the address of the person to receive such notice, (ii) if mailed, four (4) business days after the date of posting by the United States post office, (iii) if given by telegraph, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges prepaid, (iv) if given by fax or telecopy, when sent, or (v) if sent by reputable overnight courier (such as Federal Express), one (1) business day after deposit with the overnight delivery service. Any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication sent by cable or telecopy must be confirmed within forty-eight (48) hours by letter mailed or delivered in accordance with the foregoing.

     24. Partial Invalidity. If any term or provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such term or provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each such term and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
     25. Waivers. No failure or delay of either party in the exercise of any right or remedy given to such party hereunder or the waiver by any party of any condition hereunder for its benefit (unless the time specified in this Agreement for exercise of such right or remedy has expired) shall constitute a waiver of any other or further right or remedy nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy preclude other or further exercise thereof or any other right or remedy. No waiver by either party of any breach hereunder or failure or refusal by the other party to comply with its obligations hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, failure or refusal to so comply.
     26. Professional Fees. Subject to the provisions of Section 16 hereof, in the event of the bringing of any action or suit by either party against the other by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, representations or warranties of the other party under this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of the action or suit, including, without limitation, actual attorneys’ fees, accounting and engineering fees, and other professional fees resulting therefrom.
     27. Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement (including all exhibits attached hereto) is the final expression of, and contains the entire agreement between, the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified, changed, or supplemented, nor may any obligation hereunder be waived, except by written instrument signed by the party to be charged or by its agent duly authorized in writing or as otherwise expressly permitted herein. The parties do not intend to confer any benefit hereunder on any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto.
     28. Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every provision of this Agreement. Whenever any action must be taken (including the giving of notice or the delivery of documents) under this Agreement during a certain period of time (or by a particular date) that ends (or occurs) on a non-business day, then such period (or date) shall be extended until the next succeeding

Page 13


 

business day. As used herein, the term “business day” shall mean any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, on which commercial banks in the State of California are not required or authorized to be closed for business.
     29. Construction of Agreement. Headings at the beginning of each section and subsection of this Agreement are solely for the convenience of the parties and are not a part of this Agreement. Whenever required by the context of this Agreement, the singular shall include the plural and the masculine shall include the feminine and vice verse. This Agreement shall not be construed as if it had been prepared by one of the parties, but rather as if both parties had prepared the same. Unless otherwise indicated, all references to sections and subsections are to sections and subsections in this Agreement. All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference.
     30. Third Parties. Nothing in this Agreement, whether expressed or implied, is intended to confer any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement upon any other person other than the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, nor is anything in this Agreement intended to relieve or discharge the obligation or liability of any third persons to any party to this Agreement, nor shall any provision give any third parties any right of subrogation or action over or against any party to this Agreement. This Agreement is not intended to and does not create any third party beneficiary rights whatsoever.
     31. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same document.
     32. Effectiveness. In no event shall any draft of this Agreement create any obligation or liability, it being understood that this Agreement shall be effective and binding only when a counterpart hereof has been executed and delivered by each party hereto. This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements, negotiations and communications, oral or written, and contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller as to the subject matter hereof. No subsequent agreement, representation or promise made by either party hereto, or by or to an employee, officer, agent or representative of either party, shall be of any effect unless it is in writing and executed by the party to be bound thereby. The preparation and/or circulation of a draft of this Agreement is not intended by either of the parties to constitute a binding agreement between them for the purchase or sale of the Property. The final form of this Agreement may or may not contain terms stated in any drafts of this Agreement, and/or may contain different terms and conditions not yet identified or discussed. Neither party may rely on any drafts of this Agreement as binding on either party in any way. The parties expressly agree that neither party is bound to engage in negotiations, or, once engaged, to continue such negotiations, each party reserving the right to terminate negotiations at any time and for any reason. Efforts by either party to perform due diligence, arrange or obtain financing, or carry out other acts in contemplation of the possible purchase and sale of the Property shall not be deemed evidence of any intent by either party to be bound by any letter of interest or similar document, or unexecuted and undelivered drafts of this Agreement. The performance by either party before the mutual execution and delivery of the final, mutually agreed upon form of this Agreement of any of the rights or obligations that may be included in drafts of this Agreement shall not be considered evidence of subsequent intent by either party to be bound by any letter of interest or drafts of this Agreement. In the event Buyer or Seller alleges that any unexecuted draft of this Agreement constitutes a binding agreement for the purchase or sale of the Property, or grants an interest in or claim to the Property, the alleging party shall be liable for the legal fees, costs and damages incurred as a result thereof.
     33. Survival of Obligations. All of Buyer’s and Seller’s representations and warranties in this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow for a period of six (6) months. All other obligations of Seller or Buyer not expressly stated to survive the Close of Escrow or not stated in the exhibit documents

Page 14


 

to be delivered upon the Close of Escrow shall be deemed discharged upon the Close of Escrow and the recordation of the Grant Deed.
     34. Limitation of Liability. No shareholder, officer, employee or agent of Seller or any Seller Related Parties shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter, and Buyer and its successors and assigns and, without limitation, all other persons and entities, shall look solely to Seller’s interest in the Property, for the payment of any claim or for any performance, and Buyer, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby waives any and all such personal liability. No shareholder, officer, employee or agent (other than a general partner) of Buyer shall have any personal liability, directly or indirectly, under or in connection with this Agreement or any agreement made or entered into under or pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, or any amendment or amendments to any of the foregoing made at any time or times, heretofore or hereafter. This Section 34 shall survive the Close of Escrow or a termination of this Agreement.
     35. Waiver of Trial By Jury. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, SELLER AND BUYER EACH HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY AND INTENTIONALLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER ARISING IN TORT OR CONTRACT) BROUGHT BY EITHER OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY REMEDY IN CONNECTION HEREWITH.
     36. Choice of Venue. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES THAT ALL ACTIONS TO ENFORCE THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE BROUGHT AND MAINTAINED ONLY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN ORANGE COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY CONSENTS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY SUCH COURT AND HEREBY AGREES THAT SERVICE OF PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL DIRECTED TO THE OTHER PARTY AT THE ADDRESSES SET FORTH IN SECTION 22 ABOVE. EACH PARTY HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS THAT IT MAY HAVE TO MAKE ANY OBJECTIONS BASED ON JURISDICTION OR VENUE TO ANY ACTION BROUGHT TO ENFORCE THIS AGREEMENT IN ANY SUCH COURT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ABOVE PROVISIONS.
     37. Governing Law. The parties expressly agree that this Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California.
     38. Confidentiality. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer hereby agrees and acknowledges that the material business terms of this Agreement and all non-public information furnished by Seller to Buyer or obtained by Buyer in the course of Buyer’s investigation and inspection of the Property, or in any way arising from or relating to any and all studies of or entries upon the Property by Buyer, its agents or representatives, shall be treated as confidential information; provided, that following the successful Close of Escrow, only the material business terms of this Agreement shall remain confidential. Buyer further agrees and acknowledges that if any such confidential information is disclosed to third parties, Seller may suffer damage and irreparable harm. Buyer expressly acknowledges, covenants and agrees that until the successful Close of Escrow occurs (and thereafter with respect to the material business terms of this Agreement only) (a) that neither Buyer nor Buyer’s Representatives will make any press release or other public disclosure concerning the transactions contemplated by this

Page 15


 

Agreement and neither Buyer nor Buyer’s Representatives will disclose any of the contents or information contained in any due diligence report or any other study made in connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Property, in any form whatsoever (including, without limitation, any verbal information received by Buyer during the course of Buyer’s inspection and investigation of the Property), to any party without the prior express written consent of Seller (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), other than (i) to Buyer’s agents, employees, representatives, or consultants in connection with Buyer’s investigation of the Property and the transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) in response to lawful process or subpoena or other valid or enforceable order of a court of competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required to comply with applicable laws, (iii) to Buyer’s prospective equity partners, prospective lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents and consultants, and (iv) to any permitted transferee or assignee of Buyer and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents; (b) that in making any disclosure of such information as may be permitted hereunder, Buyer shall advise the recipient of the confidentiality of such information and the potential of damage to Seller and the liability of Buyer and such recipient as a result of any disclosure of such information by such recipient and thereafter be responsible for such recipient’s compliance; (c) to furnish to Seller, as soon as prepared by, or made available to, Buyer, copies of all non-confidential, non-proprietary third party due diligence reports and other non-confidential, non-proprietary studies and analyses made in connection with Buyer’s inspection, study or investigation of the Property, and any non-confidential, non-proprietary internal analyses and studies, all without warranty by Buyer as to the accuracy or completeness thereof; and (d) that Seller is relying on Buyer’s covenant not to disclose any of the contents or information contained in any such due diligence reports or investigations to third parties (all of which is deemed to be confidential information by the provisions of this Section 38) except in accordance with this Agreement. Buyer shall assume liability for all claims, demands, causes of action, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) suffered or incurred by Seller or any of Seller’s Related Parties and arising out of or in connection with a breach by Buyer or Buyer’s Representatives of the foregoing provisions of this Section 38.
     Buyer and Buyer’s Representatives shall use reasonable care to maintain in good condition all of the information furnished or made available to Buyer and/or Buyer’s Representatives in accordance with this Section 38.
     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer and Seller (and each employee, agent or other representative of Buyer and Seller) may disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to Buyer or Seller relating to such tax treatment and tax structure. For this purpose, the ‘tax treatment’ of a transaction is the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction, and the ‘tax structure’ of a transaction is any fact that may be relevant to understanding the purported or claimed U.S. federal income tax treatment of the transaction.
     The provisions of this Section 38 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the termination of this Agreement.
     39. Indemnification Generally. Each indemnification under this Agreement and/or under any agreement or document executed and delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow and shall be subject to the following provisions: (a) the indemnitee shall notify the indemnitor of any such claim against the indemnitee within twenty (20) days after it has notice of such claim, but failure to notify the indemnitor shall in no case prejudice the rights of the indemnitee under this Agreement unless the indemnitor shall be prejudiced by such failure and then only to the extent of such prejudice; (b) without the prior written consent of the indemnitee, the indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement which (i) requires an admission of guilt, the payment of any funds or the performance of any obligation

Page 16


 

by the indemnitee, and (ii) does not include a full release of indemnitee; and (c) should the indemnitor fail to discharge or undertake to defend the indemnitee against such liability within twenty (20) days after the indemnitee gives the indemnitor written notice of the same, then the indemnitee may, upon fifteen (15) days’ notice to the indemnitor, in good faith settle such liability, and the indemnitor’s liability to the indemnitee shall be conclusively established by such settlement, the amount of such liability to include both the settlement consideration and the reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the indemnitee in effecting such settlement. The indemnification obligations under this Agreement shall survive the Close of Escrow or a termination of this Agreement.
     40. Discharge of Seller’s Obligations. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, Buyer’s acceptance of the Grant Deeds and the assignment of the Contract Rights shall be deemed a discharge of all of the obligations of Seller hereunder and all of Seller’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements in this Agreement shall merge in the documents and agreements executed at the Close of Escrow, except to the extent any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements contained in Section 7 of this Agreement are expressly stated in said Section to survive the Close of Escrow.
     41. No Recordation. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof shall be recorded.
