inspection of all matters pertaining to its acquisition of the Property, including such
inspections, tests, and surveys as Buyer deems appropriate to determine the suitability of
the Property for Buyer's intended use; and including such appraisals, comparisons, and
valuations as Buyer deems appropriate to determine the suitability of the Purchase Price.

Property after conducting its due diligence review (the "Due Diligence Contingency").

review, examination and inspection, Buyer shall determine in its sole discretion that it

determination in writing prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, whereupon
Buyer's Due Diligence Contingency shall be deemed satisfied and waived, the Earnest
Money shall become nonrefundable (except as otherwise expressly provided in this
Agreement), and Buyer shall proceed to Closing.
(b) Disapproval & Exercise of Due Diligence Contingency. If Buyer
deems the Property to be unsatisfactory as a result of any of the above inspections in

items required to be provided by Seller to Buyer under this Section, on condition that
Buyer turns over to Seller a full and complete copy of all studies, investigations, surveys,
tests, and other written reports performed by Buyer and/or its agents during the Due
Diligence Period in Buyer's possession, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement in
writing at any time during the Due Diligence Period, in which event the Earnest Money
shall be returned to Buyer as Buyer's sole and exclusive remedy. If Buyer fails to timely
provide Seller such written notice of Buyer termination under the Due Diligence
Contingency, then Buyer shall (i) be deemed to have approved its Due Diligence, (ii)

Property in accordance with the foregoing terms and conditions after removal or
satisfaction of the Due Diligence Contingency only for the purpose of leasing or to satisfy

commercial tenants on the Property. Seller shall not be obligated to terminate any leases
objected to by Buyer until expiration of the Due Diligence Period and Buyer's Earnest
Money has become non-refundable. Buyer must affirmatively agree to accept any
existing leases, and Buyer's silence or failure to so agree by the end of the Due Diligence
Contingency shall be deemed to be Buyer's rejection of the same and this Agreement
shall terminate pursuant to Section 6.1 (b), above. At Closing, Seller shall assign, and
Buyer shall assume, the leases as provided for in Section 2.2 above.

Buyer's sole cost and expense, Buyer may obtain an extended coverage owner's policy of
preliminary title insurance commitment covering the Property from the Title Company
(the "Commitment") together with copies of all recorded documents listed as special
exceptions therein. Buyer shall pay any title cancellation fee(s), in the event such a fee is

purchase the Property; PROVIDED THAT, unless Buyer gives written notice that it

04.04.14
Page 6 of 27
disapproves the exceptions to title shown on the Commitment (other than the exceptions
to title approved by Buyer and described in Section 7.3 below), stating the exceptions so
disapproved, within sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, Buyer shall be
deemed to have approved such exceptions.
If any new title matters are disclosed in a supplemental title report, then the
preceding termination, objection and waiver provisions shall apply to the new title
matters except that Buyer's notice of objections must be delivered within ten (10) days of
delivery of the supplemental report and Seller's response or Buyer's waiver must be
delivered within ten (10) days of Buyer's notice of objections. The Closing Date shall be
extended to the extent necessary to permit time for these notices.
If Buyer disapproves any title exceptions, Seller shall have a ten (10) day period
after its receipt of Buyer's written notice of disapproval of the same within which to
provide written notice to Buyer as to which of such disapproved title exceptions the
Seller agrees to remove (or cause to be removed) from title; provided that, to the extent
Seller agrees to remove such exception(s), Seller shall not be required to actually remove
such exception(s) until Closing. If, for any reason, Seller's notice given pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence does not covenant to remove all of Buyer's disapproved
title exceptions at or prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent given within ten (10) days after
the earlier of the expiration of such ten (10) day period or the date Seller informs Buyer
that it does not intend to remove the disapproved items (the "Termination Notice").
Buyer's failure to deliver the Termination Notice within such ten (10) day period shall be
deemed Buyer's approval of any such previously disapproved title exception. If Buyer
delivers the Termination Notice within such ten (10) day period, the obligation of Seller
to sell, and Buyer to buy, the Property as herein provided shall terminate and the Earnest
Money shall be returned to Buyer. Buyer shall have the option to waive the condition
precedent set forth in this Section 7.2 by written notice to Seller. In the event of such
waiver, such condition precedent shall be deemed satisfied.
7.3 Permitted Exceptions. In addition to those exceptions not objected to or
for which Buyer waived its objections, and such other exceptions to title as may be
approved by Buyer pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.2 above, Buyer shall accept

from or relating to entry onto, or studies or inspections of, the Property by Buyer, its
principals, employees, agents, consultants, licensees or invitees, except for ordinary wear
and tear, and except for damage to the Property by casualty.
12.2 No New Leases or Contracts. After the date of Mutual Acceptance and
through Closing (or until any earlier termination of this Agreement), Seller shall not enter
into any new leases, contracts or agreements materially affecting the Property without the
prior written consent of Buyer, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that

specified in this Agreement, any period of time in this Agreement shall mean Pacific
Time and shall begin the day after the event starting the period and shall expire at 5:00
p.m. of the last calendar day of the specified period of time, unless the last day is a

money as set forth in Section 5 of this Agreement as liquidated damages. Buyer
expressly agrees that the retention of the Deposit by Seller represents a reasonable
estimation of the damages in the event of Buyer's default and failure to close hereunder,
that actual damages may be difficult to ascertain and that this provision does not
constitute a penalty. In this respect, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that these damages
have been specifically negotiated between Buyer and Seller and are, inter alia, to
compensate Seller for delaying the eventual sale of the Property and to compensate Seller
for its costs and expenses associated with this Agreement. Buyer hereby waives the
rights and benefits of any law, rule, regulation or order now or hereafter existing that
would allow Buyer to claim a refund of the Deposit as unearned earnest money, as a
penalty or for any other reason except default by Seller.
