	 	 	Buyer’s Initials	 	 /s/ RFL



  
 9. Waiver of
Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement. Buyer hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives its right to disclosure of natural hazards found in the Natural Hazard Disclosure Act, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4, and
51183.5, California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694, and 4136, and California Civil Code Section 1102.6c(d), and any similar or successor statutes or laws. This waiver is a material inducement to Seller’s decision to enter into
this Agreement and the calculation of the Purchase Price, and Buyer acknowledges that Seller would not have entered into this Agreement but for this waiver. Seller and Buyer acknowledge that the compensation to be paid to Seller for the Property
takes into account that the Property is being sold subject to the provisions of paragraphs 8 and 9 hereof. Seller and Buyer agree that the provisions of said paragraphs 8 and 9 shall survive Closing. 
  
 10. Seller Defaults. In the event Seller fails to perform any of
Seller’s obligations hereunder, Buyer may either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and receive the return to it of the Deposit with all interest accrued thereon, whereupon all obligations of the parties hereto shall
cease and this Agreement shall be void and without recourse to the parties hereto, or (ii) seek specific performance of this Agreement, which action shall be commenced within twenty (20) days of the Time of Closing (if not commenced within
such time period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any action at law or in equity for any alleged failure of Seller to perform its obligations hereunder). 
  

 7 








 11. Merger. The acceptance of a deed and possession by Buyer or its nominee shall be deemed to be
a full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation of Seller, except as to any agreements which by their terms are to be performed after delivery of said deed. 
  
 12. Insurance. Until the Time of Closing, Seller shall retain the risk of loss and shall maintain insurance on the
Property against fire and hazards covered by standard “All-Risk” insurance coverage. 
  
 13. Broker. Buyer and Seller each represents that Gerald L. Eggleston of Grubb & Ellis Company, Joseph F. Hamilton of Liberty Greenfield/California, Inc. and Jason Warner of Trammell Crow Company
(collectively referred to herein as the “Brokers”) are the only brokers with whom they have dealt in connection with this Agreement and the Property. The commission of the Brokers shall be paid by Seller pursuant to a separate agreement
with Grubb & Ellis Company. Buyer and Seller each agrees to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any liability, loss, cost, damage, or expense, including court costs and attorneys fees, resulting from a breach of the
representation and warranty set forth in this Paragraph 13. Buyer acknowledges that the Brokers have made no, and Seller has not authorized the Brokers to make any, representations or warranties of any kind regarding the condition, permitted use, or
value of the Property. The provisions of this Paragraph shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement. 
  
 14. Casualty or Condemnation. (a) If, prior to the Time of Closing, any portion of the Property shall be condemned or become the subject of
any pending or threatened condemnation action, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof, and Buyer may either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller given within five (5) business days after Buyer shall have
been notified of such condemnation (in which event the Deposit will be returned to Buyer), or (ii) consummate the Closing, in which event this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of such condemnation or threatened or
pending action, and if any condemnation award is received by Seller prior to the Time of Closing, the amount of such award shall be applied as a credit against the Purchase Price. Any condemnation awards received by Seller on or after the Time of
Closing shall be promptly delivered by Seller to Buyer. Buyer’s failure to timely deliver such termination notice to Seller within such five (5) business day period shall constitute Buyer’s election to proceed to Closing. 

 
 (b) In the event of any damage to or destruction of the Property prior to
the Time of Closing not caused by Buyer or by any of Buyer’s agents or invitees, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof and the Closing shall nevertheless occur as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, except Seller shall assign to
Buyer upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrences and shall provide Buyer with a credit 
  

 8 








 against the Purchase Price in the amount of any deductible (or, at Buyer’s election, Seller shall provide Buyer with
a reduction in the Purchase Price equal to the cost of the repairs, as reasonably determined by Seller and as supported by a licensed contractor’s estimate in which case Seller and its insurance agent shall have a license to enter the Property
after Closing to facilitate Seller’s receipt of insurance proceeds). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such damage or destruction to the Property not caused by Buyer or by Buyer’s agents or invitees shall be reasonably estimated by Seller
to cost more than $250,000 to repair or is not covered by insurance, then Seller shall promptly so notify Buyer and within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt of such notice, Buyer may deliver written notice to Seller and to the
Escrow Agent, electing to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit will be returned to Buyer. If Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement within such five (5) business day period, then the
parties shall proceed with this transaction and Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding such damage or destruction. 
  
 15. Due Diligence. From the Effective Date until 5:00 p.m. PDT on the date that is twenty-one days following the Effective Date (the
“Inspection Period”), Seller shall allow Buyer and their respective agents, consultants and prospective tenants access to the Property upon reasonable notice, and upon execution by such party and delivery to Seller of an Access
Agreement in the form previously delivered to Buyer, for the purposes of conducting non-invasive surveys, tests, and inspections, provided that they shall be conducted in such a manner as not to unreasonably interfere with normal business operations
on the Property. Such inspections may include, without implied limitation, inspections and investigations relating to the general building, the sewage disposal system, the water and water distribution systems, the heating and air conditioning
systems, power distribution and backup power systems, roof, and foundation. All inspections and investigations shall be conducted at Buyer’s cost. All inspections and investigations shall be conducted by qualified professionals in accordance
with applicable legal requirements. After its inspections are completed, Buyer, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, shall promptly restore the Property to its prior condition. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all liability,
loss, cost, damage or expense arising from the conduct of any such survey, test, or inspection by Buyer or Buyer’s agents or contractors, except such as may result from the mere discovery of existing conditions on the Property. Buyer also
(i) shall not contact any governmental agencies without the prior written consent of Seller (provided that Buyer shall be entitled to contact governmental agencies, without the consent of Seller, for the sole purpose of confirming the zoning or
land-use status of the Property); (ii) shall permit a representative of Seller to accompany Buyer on any interviews with governmental agencies (except as provided in the parenthetical in the preceding clause (i)) or on other inspections of the
Property; (iii) shall not permit any inspections, investigations or other due diligence activities to result in any liens, judgments or other encumbrances being filed against the Property and shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly
discharge of record any such liens or encumbrances that are so filed or recorded; (iv) shall not permit any borings, drillings or samplings to be done without the prior written consent of Seller; (v) shall maintain, with insurance
companies satisfactory to Seller, a policy of comprehensive general public liability insurance, with a broad form contractual liability endorsement covering Buyer’s indemnification 
  

 9 








 obligations hereunder, and with a combined single limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and
property damage, automobile liability coverage including owned and hired vehicles with a combined single limit of $1,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage, and an excess umbrella liability policy for bodily injury and property
damage in the amount of $5,000,000, insuring Seller and its affiliates as additional insureds (certificates of which shall be given to Seller prior to the first entry on the Property), all of which insurance shall be written on an “occurrence
form”; and (vi) shall deliver to Seller all materials with respect to the Property if Buyer fails to acquire the Property for any reason. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 
  
 Seller has previously provided to Buyer or has made and will continue to make available at
the Property at any time on or after the Effective Date, for review by the Buyer, (i) Seller’s Owner’s Title Insurance Policy; (ii) Seller’s Current Preliminary Title Report; (iii) ALTA Survey, prepared by DCA Civil
Engineering Group dated February 20, 2004; (iv) Seller’s Phase I Environmental Report; and (v) Seller’s Infrastructure Equipment List as well as the items listed on Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof (items
(i)-(v) and those items listed on Exhibit B herein collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”). 
  
 Buyer may obtain, at its sole cost, and review a non-invasive Phase I environmental report from a reputable professional engineering firm licensed in California and an
updated A.L.T.A. survey of the Property. 
  
 Buyer may, at its sole and absolute
discretion, for any reason or no reason, terminate its obligations under this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller prior to the end of the Inspection Period. In that case, (a) Escrow Holder is instructed to return the Deposit, together
with any accrued interest, to Buyer, and (b) except for obligations that this Agreement expressly states survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights hereunder against the other. Failure of Buyer to elect to terminate its
obligation will constitute a waiver of the condition by Buyer. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Paragraph 15, Buyer shall have agreed to accept the Property in its current condition and subject to all of the conditions
disclosed in the items listed on Exhibit B, including without limitation, the Permitted Exceptions, the matters shown on the survey prepared by DCA Civil Engineering Group dated February 20, 2004, and the environmental and physical
condition of the Property.
