5.1.1 Approval of Title Documents. Buyer has received a preliminary report dated March 3, 2025, issued by First American Title Insurance Company under Commitment Number NCS-1254240-ONT1. Buyer shall have sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement to review title, and obtain and review an ALTA survey, and notify Seller and Escrow Holder in writing of Buyer’s disapproval of any exceptions referenced in such preliminary report or survey (“Title Documents”). Failure of Buyer to disapprove any such exceptions within the aforementioned time limit shall be deemed to be an approval of such exceptions set forth in the Title Documents; however, all monetary liens, including deeds of trust, judgement liens, liens for property taxes, and liens for delinquent assessments shall be deemed disapproved and shall be removed by the close of escrow. Seller shall not further encumber the Property. In the event Buyer disapproves any exceptions set forth in the Title Documents, Seller shall have until the Closing Date to eliminate any disapproved exceptions, and if such exceptions are not eliminated, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section
5.1.1, then the Escrow shall be cancelled, any sums deposited by Buyer shall be returned to Buyer, and each party shall pay half of any escrow/title cancellation fees.
5.1.2 Issuance of Title Insurance. Seller shall convey title to the Property to Buyer by a Quitclaim Deed in the form of Exhibit 1 attached hereto. At the Close of Escrow, First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”), shall issue through Escrow an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”) with CLTA coverage (or if Buyer obtains an ALTA survey at its cost and delivers it to the Title Company, then extended coverage title insurance) with liability in the full amount of the Purchase Price, insuring fee simple title to the Property vested in Buyer subject only to the following exceptions (the “Permitted Exceptions”):
(a) the standard printed exceptions set forth in the Title Policy; (b) prorated assessments, if any; (c) any exceptions which have been approved in writing by Buyer.
5.1.3 At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall have performed all of Seller’s obligations herein that are to be performed prior to the Closing.
5.1.4 Seller’s representations and warranties shall be true and correct as of the date of this Agreement and also as of the date of the Closing.

excepted, and Buyer shall have approved of the physical condition of the Property within sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, and Seller gives Buyer the right for Buyer and its consultants to enter the Property to so inspect, and Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses arising from such entries and inspections (excluding those that relate to matters discovered on inspection). If any such matters are not acceptable to Buyer, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller within the 60 day period.
5.1.6 Seller must deliver to Buyer all keys, plans, permits, entitlements, warranties, service contracts, environmental reports, studies, surveys, approvals, and other documents in Seller’s possession or control relating to the Property, including any information concerning the presence or absence of hazardous materials in, on under, or near the Property.

5.3 Failure of Condition. If any condition stated in this Agreement has not been eliminated or satisfied within the time limits and pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement through no fault of either Party (in the case of a default, the provisions of Section 9 shall govern), then the Parties, as their sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either waive the condition in question, and proceed with the Closing, or in the alternative, terminate this Agreement. In the event of such termination as the result of the failure of a condition to Closing, all documents and funds shall be returned to the Party providing them, and neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except that Escrow and title cancellation fees shall be paid in accordance with this Agreement.
6. Condition of Property.
6.1 Subject to Buyer’s inspection rights under Section 5.1.5 above, Buyer has investigated the Property’s zoning and other building matters affecting the Property, and its condition, including but not limited to its suitability for Buyer’s intended use, and has determined that it is suitable for Buyer’s public use.
6.2 Buyer hereby acknowledges that, except as otherwise stated in this Agreement, Buyer is purchasing the Property in its existing “AS-IS” condition, without representation or warranty (express or implied) and subject to all matters of record (but not deeds of trust, judgment liens or other liens, and not any title exceptions disapproved by Buyer or created by Seller after the date hereof) and all defects and conditions, whether patent or latent, based solely on Buyer’s own inspection, analysis and evaluation and not in reliance on any information provided by or on behalf of Seller.

7.1.5 The person(s) executing this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein have the power, right, and actual authority to bind each respective Party to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

7.1.9 There are no existing service or maintenance agreements (oral or written) that will affect the Property subsequent to Closing. 16498.00150\44096392.2
-7-
7.1.10 No Party has any current actual knowledge of any hazardous materials affecting the Property.
8. Release by Buyer.
8.1 For valuable consideration, and except for any failure by Seller to disclose to Buyer any material fact known to Seller about the Property and not known to Buyer, Buyer hereby forever releases and fully discharges the Seller, and each of their predecessors and successors, and all of their officers, employees, agents, contractors, assignees, and representatives, from, any and all claims, demands, damages, causes of action, costs, and expenses (including without limitation, experts’ and attorneys’ fees), that the Buyer now, or in the future may have, of whatsoever kind of nature, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, present or potential, foreseen or unforeseen, fixed or contingent, arising from or in any way connected with the condition of the Property sold hereunder or the construction of the Project by Seller (collectively, “Claim”), including without limitation, any Claim suffered by reason of the theories of impairment of access, inverse condemnation, eminent domain, property damages, loss of income, loss of business goodwill, relocation assistance pursuant to Federal and/or State law and implementing regulations or otherwise.
8.2 It is Buyer’s intention in executing this Agreement that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every Claim (excluding Claims based on any failure by Seller to disclose to Buyer any material fact known to Seller about the Property and not known to Buyer), and in furtherance of this intention Buyer waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under Section 1542 of the California civil code, which provides:
“A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”
______ / ______
Buyer’s Initials
The foregoing acknowledgment and release shall survive the Closing as well as the recording of the Quitclaim Deed.
9. Default and Remedies.
9.1 Seller’s Default. If the Close of Escrow shall fail to occur because of Seller’s uncured default under this Agreement (which in no event such cure period shall be longer than ten (10) business days), Buyer may pursue an action for specific performance, or terminate this Agreement and sue for damages, and exercise any other remedy available to Buyer at law or in equity. No termination of escrow by Buyer following a breach by Seller shall be deemed to waive such breach or remedy otherwise available to Buyer. 16498.00150\44096392.2
-8-
9.2 Buyer’s Default. If the Close of Escrow shall fail to occur because of Buyer's uncured default under this Agreement (which in no event such cure period shall be longer than ten (10) days), Seller may thereafter: (i) terminate this agreement; (ii) receive and retain $10,000 as liquidated damages if such default occurs after Buyer’s approval of due diligence in Section 5.1.5; and (iii) exercise the other rights and remedies reserved by seller as provided in this Section. In the event Seller terminates this agreement by reason of Buyer’s default, Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of any further obligation to each other with respect to this Agreement and the Property except for any obligations which expressly survive. It is expressly understood and agreed by Buyer and Seller: that it is extremely difficult and impractical to calculate and ascertain as of the effective date of this Agreement the actual damages which would be suffered in such event by Seller; and that the amount above is a reasonable estimate of the extent to which Seller may be damaged by Buyer’s default in light of the difficulty the parties would have in determining Seller’s actual damages as a result of such default by Buyer. Seller hereby waives the right to maintain and action for specific performance of Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Property and Seller agrees that Seller can be adequately compensated in money damages if Buyer fails to purchase the property in breach of this agreement.
