After expiration of the Due Diligence Period, and upon the earlier of (i) the date that Buyer delivers to Seller written determination that it has completed all inspections and investigations it deems necessary in order the purchase the Property, or (ii) expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if Buyer has not previously terminated this Agreement by its terms, then: (A) subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 having been waived in writing or satisfied, and except in the case of a Seller default, the Deposit shall become nonrefundable, but shall remain in Escrow until the Closing, or until otherwise released pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

PROPERTY INFORMATION; TITLE REVIEW; INSPECTIONS AND DUE DILIGENCE.

4.1 Property Information. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer for Buyer’s review copies of the following, to the extent such items are in Seller’s possession and are not subject to attorney-client privilege: all reports related to Hazardous Materials, as defined below, on or under the Property, all soil tests, geological and environmental reports, plans, surveys, engineering studies or other information relating to the Property (collectively, the “Property Information”). For purposes of this Agreement, the phrase “actual knowledge” or “actually known” means the actual knowledge of Rabinder Mangewala, Assistant Superintendent of Business Services.

4.2 Title and Survey Review; Title Policy.

4.2.1 Delivery of Title Report. Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Title Company shall deliver to Buyer and Seller a preliminary report or title commitment covering the Real Property (the “Title Report”), together with copies of all documents (collectively, the “Title Documents”) referenced in the Title Report. Buyer, at its option and expense, may obtain a survey for the Real Property. Buyer understands and acknowledges that if Buyer elects to obtain a survey for the Real Property, the completion and/or delivery of the survey shall not be a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer further acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or warranties, and Seller shall have no responsibility, with respect to the completeness of the Title Report or the Title Documents made available to Buyer by the Title Company. Nevertheless, on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period defined below, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of any inconsistencies, inaccuracies, or omissions in the Title Report or the Title Documents, if Seller knows or reasonably should know of the same.

4.2.2 Title Review and Cure. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through and until the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer shall have the right to approve or disapprove the condition of title to the Real Property. On or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) of Buyer’s unconditional approval or disapproval of the matters reflected in the Title Report and any survey obtained by Buyer; Buyer’s Title Notice delivered by Buyer to Seller must state that it is a “Buyer’s Title Notice being delivered in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.2.2 of the Purchase Agreement.” The failure of Buyer to deliver to Seller Buyer’s Title Notice on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the condition of title to the Real Property. If Buyer disapproves any matter of title shown in the Title Report or any survey(s) obtained by Buyer for the Real Property, then Seller may, but shall have no obligation to, within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of the Buyer’s Title Notice for the Real Property (“Seller’s Election Period”), elect to eliminate or ameliorate to Buyer’s satisfaction the disapproved title matters by giving Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those disapproved title matters, if any, which Seller agrees to so eliminate or ameliorate by the Closing Date. If Seller either causes such exception to be removed from the Title Policy (as defined in Section 4.2.3) or to be affirmatively insured over, Buyer shall have three (3) business days to consider whether such action ameliorates, to Buyer’s satisfaction, the Buyer’s original objection/disapproval, with such consideration to be in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion. If Seller does not elect to, or is unable to, eliminate or ameliorate any disapproved title matters, Buyer disapproves Seller’s Title Notice, or Seller fails to timely deliver Seller’s Title Notice, then Buyer shall have the right, upon delivery to Seller and Escrow Holder (on or before five (5) days following the expiration of Seller’s Election Period) of a written notice, to either: (a) waive its prior disapproval, in which event said disapproved matters shall be deemed approved; or (b) terminate this Agreement and the Escrow (as defined in Section 9.1). Failure to take either one of the actions described in (a) and (b) above shall be deemed to be Buyer’s election to take the action described in clause (a) above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement as provided in clause (b) above, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, and the parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement (except for any provisions which by their terms survive a termination of this Agreement), the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Buyer shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller. In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.2.2, Buyer shall pay all escrow and title fees or similar charges of Escrow Holder and Title Company incurred in connection with the transactions described herein, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and Buyer hereby authorizes Escrow Holder to deduct Buyer’s portion of such amounts from the Deposit.

4.2.3 Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. As a condition precedent to the Close of Escrow, the Title Company shall have issued and delivered to Buyer, or shall have committed to issue and deliver to Buyer, with respect to the Real Property, a Standard Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the “Title Policy”) issued by the Title Company as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed (as defined in Section 6.1) for the Real Property in the amount of the Purchase Price insuring Buyer as owner of good, marketable and indefeasible fee simple title to the Real Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean and include (a) any lien to secure payment of real estate taxes, including special assessments, not delinquent, (b) the lien of supplemental taxes assessed pursuant to Chapter 3.5 commencing with Section 75 of the California Revenue and Taxation Code, (c) all matters which are created by or with the written consent of Buyer, (d) all exceptions disclosed by the Title Report relating to the Real Property and which are approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 4.2.2, and (e) all applicable laws, ordinances, rules and governmental regulations (including, without limitation, those relating to building, zoning and land use) affecting the development, use, occupancy or enjoyment of the Real Property.

4.3 Inspections; Due Diligence Period; Other Disclosures.

4.3.1 Inspections in General. Commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through and including the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer, its agents, and employees shall have access to the Property to review the condition of the Property and to conduct any and all appropriate environmental, geological, engineering, safety and other inspections it determines necessary, or any such inspections as required by State and local law so as to ensure, among other things, that the Property complies with all State and local requirements applicable to Buyer’s proposed use of the Property (“License”). Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, if it intends to conduct any invasive testing of the Property, such as a Phase II environmental assessment. In the event Buyer performs invasive testing or destructive investigation of the Property and the sale of the Property is not consummated between the Parties, Buyer shall be responsible for returning the Property to the condition existing prior to Buyer’s testing or destructive investigation, ordinary wear and tear and casualty (e.g., fire, earthquake, act of nature) excepted. All such inspections shall be at Buyer’s sole risk, cost and expense. All those entering the Property at the direction of Buyer shall have adequate insurance to cover their activities. Buyer agrees to restore the Property, as required, to substantially the same condition that existed prior to Buyer’s entry and inspection. The License shall be deemed revoked upon termination of this Agreement.

Should Buyer, in its inspections of the Property during the Due Diligence Period, discover the presence of Hazardous Materials, as defined below, thereon, that materially affects Buyer’s intended use or the value of the Seller Property, then Buyer may terminate the Agreement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Without limitation to other potential consequences, Buyer acknowledges that the presence of Hazardous Materials may necessitate corrective actions, investigation, reporting, monitoring, or clean-up, remediation or removal, mitigation (collectively, all or any of the above, an “Environmental Remediation”), as well as the imposition of special precautions, delays, limitations, and costs with respect to the Seller Property. If Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Property, then Buyer hereby covenants and agrees (a) not to make any claim against Seller for additional reimbursement, cost-sharing, or indemnity with respect to the remediation of Hazardous Materials, and (b) to indemnify and hold Seller harmless against any claims made against Seller resulting from, caused by or related to Buyer’s performance of any remediation of Hazardous Materials, other than claims demonstrated to have been caused by the willful or grossly negligent acts or omissions of Seller, its agents, representatives, or employees.

The provisions of this Section 4.3.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or the earlier termination of this Agreement.

4.3.2 Termination During Due Diligence Period. If Buyer determines, in its sole discretion, before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or any extension thereof, that the Property is unacceptable for Buyer’s purposes, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving to Seller notice of termination (a “Termination Notice”) before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period or extension thereof, in which event the Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer, Buyer shall immediately return all Property Information to Seller and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall have no further obligations hereunder. If Buyer fails to deliver a Termination Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer shall be deemed to be satisfied with all aspects of all the Property, including, without limitation, the condition and suitability of all of the Property for Buyer’s intended use, and Buyer shall be obligated to acquire the Property in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Buyer’s delivery of a Termination Notice to Seller with respect to the Property shall constitute Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement with respect to the Property as provided above in this Section 4.3.2. In the event that Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.3.2, Buyer shall pay all escrow and title fees or similar charges of Escrow Holder and Title Company incurred in connection with the transactions described herein, which obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and Buyer hereby authorizes Escrow Holder to deduct such amounts from the Deposit, provided the remainder of the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer as provided above.

The written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination fully and completely discharges Seller from its disclosure obligations referred to herein, and, for the purposes of this Agreement, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1102.4 regarding the non-liability of Seller for 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, in no event shall Seller have any responsibility for matters not actually known to Seller or for matters for which Buyer has assumed the risk under any other provision of this Agreement.

4.3.5 Indemnity for Inspection Damages. Buyer agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Seller, its officers, employees and agents from and against any and all third party claims for bodily injury or property damage to persons or property which result from the on-site inspection activities of Buyer, its officers, employees, agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors and/or consultants, but shall have no obligation to do so to the extent that any claims result from pre-existing conditions that may exist on the Property, or claims that result from the Seller’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
