2.Purchase Price.

2.1Purchase Price.  Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price for the Property as hereinafter provided in this Section 2.

2.2Deposit.

2.2.1Initial Deposit.  Within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder the Initial Deposit.  The Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit (if applicable) shall be deposited by Escrow Holder in an interest-bearing account at a federally insured institution as Escrow Holder deems appropriate and consistent with the timing requirements of this Agreement.  The interest thereon shall accrue to the benefit of Buyer and be paid to the party receiving the Deposit pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that there may be penalties or interest forfeitures if the applicable instrument is redeemed prior to its specified maturity.  Buyer agrees to provide its Federal Tax Identification Number to Escrow Holder upon the Opening of Escrow.  Concurrently with the expiration of the Property Approval Period and provided Buyer has not delivered Buyer's Disapproval Notice (as those terms are defined in Sections 4.1.1 and 4.1.2, respectively, below) to Seller and Escrow Holder, the entire Initial Deposit shall become non-refundable except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.  If prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, Buyer delivers Buyer's Disapproval Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, this Agreement shall terminate and the Initial Deposit, together with all interest accrued thereon (but less the Independent Consideration (as defined in Section 2.4 below) and one-half (1/2) of any escrow cancellation costs), shall be returned to Buyer.  If this Agreement has not been so terminated, then, after the Contingency Deadline, the Initial Deposit together with interest accrued thereon shall be:  (i) applied and credited toward payment of the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow, or (ii) retained by Seller as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 16.2 below, or (iii) returned to Buyer (less the Independent Consideration) if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Sections 4.4 or 13, or this Agreement is terminated because of a material breach by Seller in accordance with Section 16.1, or this Agreement is terminated and otherwise provides for the Deposit to be refunded to Buyer.

2.2.2Additional Deposit.  Within five (5) business days after expiration of the Property Approval Period, and provided Buyer has not elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.1.2, Buyer shall deliver to Escrow Holder the Additional Deposit (the Additional Deposit, together with the Initial Deposit and any amounts deposited by Buyer in order to extend the Outside Closing Date pursuant to Section 3.2 below, the "Deposit").  Upon receipt by Escrow Holder, the Additional Deposit shall become non-refundable except as otherwise provided in this Agreement.  The Additional Deposit together with interest accrued thereon shall be (i) applied and credited toward payment of the Purchase Price at the Close of Escrow, (ii) retained by Seller as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 16.2 below, or (iii) returned to Buyer (less the Independent Consideration) if this Agreement is terminated because of a material breach by Seller in accordance with Section 16.1 or as is provided for in Section 13.2 below, or this Agreement is terminated and otherwise provides for the Deposit to be refunded to Buyer.

2.3Cash Balance.  On or before the Closing Date (at such time so as to allow the proceeds to be disbursed to Seller on the Closing Date), Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder cash by means of a confirmed wire transfer through the Federal Reserve System or cashier's check in the amount 


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11
	
-4-
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
 




 



 

of the balance of the Purchase Price, plus Buyer's share of expenses and prorations as described in this Agreement.

2.4Independent Contract Consideration.  The sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100) (the “Independent Consideration”) out of the Deposit is independent of any other consideration provided hereunder, shall be fully earned by Seller upon the Effective Date, and is not refundable to Buyer under any circumstances.  Accordingly, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason by either party, the Independent Consideration shall be paid by the Escrow Holder to Seller.  Independent Consideration shall be non-refundable under all circumstances and shall not be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing.  Buyer and Seller expressly acknowledge and agree that the Independent Consideration, plus Buyer’s agreement to pay the costs provided in this Agreement, has been bargained for as consideration for Seller’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and for Buyer’s review, inspection and termination rights during the Property Approval Period, and is adequate for such purpose.

3.Escrow and Title.

3.1Opening of Escrow.  Buyer and Seller shall promptly deliver a fully executed copy of this Agreement to Escrow Holder, and the date of Escrow Holder's receipt thereof is referred to as the "Opening of Escrow".  Seller and Buyer shall execute and deliver to Escrow Holder any additional or supplementary instructions as may be necessary or convenient to implement the terms of this Agreement and close the transactions contemplated hereby, provided such instructions are consistent with and merely supplement this Agreement and shall not in any way modify, amend or supersede this Agreement.  Such supplementary instructions, together with the escrow instructions set forth in this Agreement, as they may be amended from time to time by the parties, shall collectively be referred to as the "Escrow Instructions."  The Escrow Instructions may be amended and supplemented by such standard terms and provisions as the Escrow Holder may request the parties hereto to execute; provided, however, that the parties hereto and Escrow Holder acknowledge and agree that in the event of a conflict between any provision of such standard terms and provisions supplied by the Escrow Holder and the Escrow Instructions, the Escrow Instructions shall prevail.

3.2Close of Escrow/Closing.  For purposes of this Agreement, (a) the closing of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is referred to as the "Close of Escrow" or the “Closing", and (b) the “Closing Date” shall mean the earlier of (i) the date on which the "Deed" (as defined in Section 5.1.1 below) is recorded in the Official Records of the County where the Land is located (the “Official Records”), or (ii) the date on which the Purchase Price is disbursed by Escrow Holder to Seller pursuant to Section 6.7 below.  Subject to satisfaction of the conditions to Closing set forth in this Agreement, the Close of Escrow shall occur on or before the Outside Closing Date set forth in Section 9 of the Summary of Basic Terms above.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the term of this Agreement, Seller shall continue to process the development approvals that are necessary from the City of Sunnyvale for a permitted floor area ratio of up to eighty percent (80%) for the Site 2 Property so long as certain green building techniques more particularly described in such approval(s) are utilized, to the extent allowed for under any relevant specific plans and the city’s zoning code; provided that Seller makes no representation or warranty as to whether such approvals can be obtained prior to the Outside Closing Date.  In the event such approvals are not obtained prior to the Outside Closing Date, Seller shall work in good faith with Buyer to allow Buyer to continue to pursue such approvals following the Close of Escrow.  Such obligation shall survive the Close of Escrow.  Buyer's or Seller's failure to perform their respective obligations hereunder, including the timely delivery by Buyer of the balance of the Purchase Price, shall constitute a material and non-curable default by such party under this Agreement.

4.Contingencies; Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow.

4.1Buyer's Review.

4.1.1Delivery of Due Diligence Materials by Seller.  To the extent within the immediate possession of Seller or Seller’s property manager, Seller shall make available to Buyer and Buyer's representatives at Seller's offices, at the Property or on a diligence database established by Seller (the “Diligence Database”), for inspection and right to copy, at Buyer's expense, any environmental studies, soils studies, plans, specifications and other similar materials relating to the physical and environmental condition of the Property ("Reports").  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the Reports or that the Reports are complete copies of the same.  Buyer acknowledges and understands that all such materials made available by Seller are only for Buyer's convenience in making its own examination and determination prior to the Contingency Deadline as to whether it wishes to purchase the Property, and, in so doing, Buyer shall rely exclusively upon its own independent investigation and evaluation of every aspect of the Property and not on any materials supplied by Seller.  

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller shall also make available, in Seller’s discretion, at Seller's offices, on the Diligence Database, or at the Property for review and copying, at Buyer's expense, the following due diligence items (together with the Reports, collectively, "Due Diligence Items") at any time after Opening of Escrow, to the extent in the immediate possession of Seller or Seller’s property manager:  (a) to the extent in the possession of Seller, any plans and specifications for the Property, (b) copies of all service contracts or service agreements relating to the maintenance and operation of the Property including the service contracts set forth on Exhibit "J" hereto (but expressly excluding any contracts Seller determines are "master contracts" affecting other properties in addition to the Property and which will not be assigned to Buyer at Closing) (collectively, the "Contracts"); (c) property tax bills for the last two (2) fiscal tax years and the property tax bill for the current year to the extent in the possession of Seller; and (d) any other documents described in Exhibit “M” attached hereto.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement, Seller makes no representations regarding, and shall have no liability or responsibility with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of the information and/or materials included in the Due Diligence Items.  Seller acknowledges Buyer may desire to discuss or otherwise inquire about matters related to the Property with various governmental entities and utilities and the other Due Diligence Items with tenants under the Leases and other third parties.  In this regard, Buyer is permitted to contact all necessary third parties, and discuss with such third parties Due Diligence Items; provided, however, that (i): with respect to third parties that are not governmental entities, Seller is first given written (which may be electronic) notice or telephonic notice and a reasonable opportunity to be present at such contact or discussions at a time and location reasonably convenient to Seller, and (ii) with respect to third parties who are governmental entities, Seller shall meet with Buyer to understand the questions and concerns of Buyer that are best answered by such governmental entities and, to the extent that in Seller’s good faith and commercially reasonable opinion such questions and/or concerns are appropriate subject matter for a conversation with a governmental entity, shall diligently seek to meet with the relevant governmental authorities and obtain answers or requested information from such authorities and relay the results thereof to Buyer (or Buyer’s consultants with respect to matters such as the preparation of a Phase I Environmental Report).

Between the Effective Date and the Contingency Deadline (the "Property Approval Period"), Buyer shall have the right to review and investigate the Due Diligence Items, the physical and environmental condition of the Property, the character, quality, value and general utility of the Property, the zoning, land use, environmental and building requirements and restrictions applicable to the Property, the state of title to the Property, and any other factors or matters relevant to Buyer's decision to purchase the Property.  Buyer, in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, may determine whether or not the Property is acceptable to Buyer within the Property Approval Period and whether Buyer can secure appropriate financing thereon.  Buyer shall provide Seller with at least one (1) business day’s prior written notice of 


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11
	
-6-
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
 




 



 

its desire to enter upon the Real Property for inspection and/or testing and any such inspections or testing shall be conducted at a time and manner reasonably approved by Seller and to minimize disruption or interference with any tenants.  Prior to conducting any inspection or testing, Buyer or its testing consultants, as applicable, shall deliver to Seller a certificate of insurance naming Seller as additional insured (on a primary, non-contributing basis) evidencing commercial general liability and property damage insurance with limits of not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate for liability coverage and not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate for property damage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall not be permitted to undertake any air sampling or any intrusive or destructive testing of the Property, including a "Phase II" environmental assessment (collectively, the "Intrusive Tests"), without in each instance first (i) providing Seller with a detailed work plan identifying the applicable consultant and the type and specific locations of all proposed testing, and (ii) obtaining Seller's prior written consent thereto, which consent Seller may give or withhold in Seller's sole and absolute discretion (provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld if the results of the Phase I Report, a copy of which Phase I Report shall have been delivered to Seller), recommends further testing).  Seller, and its representatives, agents, and/or contractors shall have the right to be present during any entry on the Real Property by Buyer or its representatives or consultants or any such Intrusive Test.  If Seller fails to advise Buyer of its disapproval of any proposed Intrusive Tests within such two (2) business day period, such failure shall be deemed Seller's disapproval thereof.  All work and activities conducted on the Real Property by Buyer or its representatives, vendors or consultants pursuant to this Section 4.1.1 shall be conducted in accordance with applicable law.  Buyer hereby indemnifies and holds Seller, the Seller Group (as defined below) and the Property harmless from any and all costs, loss, damages or expenses of any kind or nature arising out of or resulting from any entry and/or activities upon the Property by Buyer and/or Buyer's representatives, vendors and consultants; provided, however, such indemnification obligation shall not be applicable to Buyer's mere discovery of any adverse physical condition at the Property, except to the extent Buyer or its representatives, vendors or consultants aggravate such condition following the initial discovery of the same.  Buyer's indemnification obligations under this Section 4.1.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow or any termination of this Agreement.  

4.1.2Termination.  If Buyer fails to deliver written notice ("Buyer's Disapproval Notice") to Seller and Escrow Holder prior to the Contingency Deadline of Buyer's disapproval of the Property and termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall be deemed to have unconditionally approved the Property and shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.

4.1.3Due Diligence Materials.  In the event Buyer does not purchase the Property for any reason, within five (5) days after the date this Agreement is terminated Buyer shall return to Seller all documents, information and other materials supplied by Seller to Buyer, and, at Seller's written request, without warranty or representation of any kind, any final, non-proprietary inspection reports, studies, surveys, and other reports and/or test results relating to the physical and environmental condition of the Property which were prepared by consultants retained by Buyer in contemplation of this Agreement.

4.2Title and Survey.  

4.2.1Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the Title Company has delivered to Buyer prior to the Effective Date a preliminary title report for the Property dated as of December 7, 2015 under Title Order No. NCS-766998 (the "PTR") and copies of all underlying title documents described in the PTR.  Buyer may obtain, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a survey (certified to include Seller) of the Property prepared by a licensed surveyor (the “Survey”).  Buyer shall deliver a copy of any Survey to Seller and Title Company within three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt 


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11
	
-7-
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
 




 



 

thereof.  Buyer shall have until five (5) business days prior to the Contingency Deadline (the "Interim Date") to provide written notice (the "Objection Notice") to Seller of any matters shown by the PTR and/or the Survey which are not satisfactory to Buyer.  If Seller and Escrow Holder have not received the Objection Notice from Buyer by the Interim Date, that shall be deemed Buyer's unconditional approval of the condition of title to the Property and the Survey.  For the avoidance of doubt, in the event that Buyer fails to obtain the Survey, Buyer shall not be entitled to disapprove or object to any survey matters shown on any existing survey in the Objection Notice or otherwise, and such survey matters shall be deemed approved by Buyer if Buyer does not terminate this Agreement prior to the Contingency Deadline pursuant to Section 4.1.2 above.  Except as provided in this Section 4.2, Seller shall have until the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Outside Closing Date to make such arrangements or take such steps as the parties shall mutually agree to satisfy Buyer's objection(s) set forth in the Objection Notice; provided, however, that, except with respect to liens secured by deeds of trust securing loans made to Seller, mechanics' liens relating to work authorized and contracted by Seller, judgment liens against Seller, and delinquent taxes (herein "Monetary Liens", which Seller agrees to have removed on or before the Outside Closing Date), Seller shall have no obligation whatsoever to expend or agree to expend any funds, to undertake or agree to undertake any obligations or otherwise to cure or agree to cure any of Buyer’s objections in the Objection Notice.  Within two (2) business days of receipt of the Objection Notice, Seller may, in its sole discretion, deliver written notice to Buyer and Escrow Holder identifying which disapproved items Seller shall undertake to cure or not cure ("Seller's Response").  If Seller does not deliver a Seller's Response within said two (2) business day period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Buyer.  If Seller elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to remove or otherwise cure an exception disapproved in the Objection Notice, and Buyer does not terminate this Agreement prior to the Contingency Deadline pursuant to Section 4.1.2 above, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved Seller’s Response (or, if applicable, Seller’s deemed election to not remove or otherwise cure any exceptions disapproved by Buyer) and irrevocably waived its objection to any title and/or survey matters which Seller has not expressly undertaken to cure in Seller’s Response.  Except for Monetary Liens, all matters shown in the PTR and the Survey obtained by Buyer with respect to which Buyer fails to give an Objection Notice on or before the Interim Date shall be deemed to be approved by Buyer.

4.2.2Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer may not object to any of the following title matters in the Objection Notice:  (i) the preprinted standard exceptions in the PTR, (ii) the rights and interest of parties claiming under the Leases, (iii) non-delinquent real property taxes and special assessments, and (iv) zoning and other regulatory laws and ordinances affecting the Property (collectively, the “Permitted Title Matters”).  Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that the owner’s policy of title insurance that Buyer obtains from the Title Company insuring Buyer’s title to the Property (the “Title Policy”) may be subject to (a) the Permitted Title Matters, (b) any exceptions approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.2.1, (c) any exceptions arising from Buyer’s actions, and (d) any matters which would be disclosed by an accurate survey or physical inspection of the Property.  Buyer also acknowledges and agrees that if the Survey that Buyer obtains and delivers to the Title Company is not an ALTA survey acceptable to the Title Company for purposes of issuing an ALTA extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance, then the Title Company would issue or be committed to issue an ALTA extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance with a general survey exception.  Buyer shall pay the additional premium for extended coverage in excess of a standard CLTA policy and any endorsements requested by Buyer.  

4.2.3If Seller delivers a Seller’s Response to Buyer specifying that Seller elects to cure any one or more of the title or survey matters objected to by Buyer in the Objection Notice, and Seller is unable or unwilling to make such arrangements or take such steps to address such objections that Seller has elected to satisfy in the Seller’s Response to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction on or prior to the date which is two (2) business days prior to the Outside Closing Date (the “Cure Deadline”), then 


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11

Buyer may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller within two (2) days following the Cure Deadline, in which event, the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration) will be returned to Buyer and, except for Buyer's indemnity and Buyer’s and Seller’s confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and any other obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.  If Buyer does not deliver such written notice of termination to Seller prior to the date which is two (2) days following the Cure Deadline, then the title and/or survey matters that Buyer objected to in the Objection Notice that Seller has elected to cure, and which Seller is subsequently unable or unwilling to cure, shall be deemed approved by Buyer and will be included as exceptions to the Title Policy.  The foregoing shall not be applicable to Monetary Liens, which Seller is obligated to cure as a condition to Closing for Buyer’s benefit.

4.3Conditions Precedent to Buyer's Obligation to Close.  Buyer’s obligation to close the acquisition of the Property pursuant to this Agreement is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:

4.3.1Seller's Performance.  Seller shall have duly performed in all material respects each and every covenant of Seller hereunder, unless the failure or failures to perform in all material respects such covenants would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined in Section 18.9 below).

4.3.2Accuracy of Representations and Warranties.  On the Closing Date, all representations and warranties made by Seller in Section 11 shall be true and correct in all material respects as if made on and as of the Closing Date (subject to modifications permitted under this Agreement), unless the failure or failures of all such representations and warranties to be true and correct in all material respects would not, in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3.3Title Policy.  The irrevocable commitment of the Title Company to issue the Title Policy to Buyer subject only to the Permitted Title Exceptions upon payment of its regularly scheduled premiums therefor.

4.3.4Tenant Bankruptcy.  No tenant shall have filed for voluntary bankruptcy or be subject to an involuntary bankruptcy proceeding.

4.3.5No Material Change.  There shall be no change in the environment condition of the Property from that existing upon the expiration of the Contingency Deadline that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

4.3.6Other Conditions.  Any other condition set forth in this Agreement to Buyer’s obligation to close has been satisfied by the applicable date.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if any of the conditions set forth in this Section 4.3 has not been satisfied by the Outside Closing Date, Seller shall have the right, by delivering written notice to Buyer prior to 5:00 p.m.  (Pacific time) on the Outside Closing Date, to extend the Outside Closing Date to April 22, 2016.

Without limitation of the foregoing, Buyer shall have timely delivered the Purchase Price pursuant to the provisions of Section 2 above.  

4.5.2In the event any of the conditions set forth in Section 4.5.1 have not been timely satisfied, Seller may elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Buyer and Escrow Holder (provided that the Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer), or (b) waive the applicable condition(s) and proceed to the Closing.  If Seller terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 4.5.2, then (A) Seller and Buyer shall each pay one-half (1/2) of any escrow cancellation fees or charges, and (B) except for Buyer's indemnity and Buyer's and Seller's confidentiality obligations under this Agreement and any other obligations which expressly survive termination of this Agreement, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations to one another under this Agreement.

4.7.1If Buyer requests and Seller permits, in accordance with Section 4.1.1, any air sampling or other environmental testing or investigation, or any other inspection that could materially alter the physical condition of the Property, other than a non-intrusive Phase I environmental inspection, and as a result of such testing, investigation or other inspection, Seller obtains knowledge of, or Buyer’s inspection of the Property reveals, either (a) the presence of any Hazardous Substances (as defined in Section 10.1.2 of this Agreement) or the violation or potential violation of any Environmental Laws (as defined in Section 10.1.2 of this Agreement) or (b) any structural or other defect in the Improvements, whether or not in violation of any applicable law, ordinance, code, regulation or decree of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Property (collectively, a "Defective Condition"), which Seller, in its sole judgment, determines could constitute a potential liability to Seller after the Closing or should be remedied prior to the sale of the Property, Seller shall have the right upon written notice to Buyer on or before the scheduled Closing Date to extend the Outside Closing Date for the period of time necessary to evaluate the possibility of remediating the Defective Condition (not to exceed sixty (60) days) and, if Seller so elects, to complete such remediation at Seller's sole cost and expense.

6.7Seller Funds.  Deduct all items chargeable to the account of Seller pursuant to Section 7.  If, as the result of the net prorations and credits pursuant to Section 8, amounts are to be charged to the account of Seller, deduct the total amount of such charges (unless Seller elects to deposit additional funds for such items in escrow with Escrow Holder); and if amounts are to be credited to the account of Seller, disburse such amounts to Seller, or in accordance with Seller's instructions, at Close of Escrow.  Disburse the Purchase Price (as adjusted in accordance with this Agreement) to Seller, or as otherwise directed by Seller, promptly upon the Close of Escrow in accordance with Seller's wire transfer instructions.

7.Costs and Expenses.  Seller shall pay (i) that portion of the Title Policy premium for standard CLTA owner's coverage (without endorsements), (ii) all documentary transfer taxes assessed by the County, and (iii) the Escrow Holder's fee.  In addition, Seller shall pay outside of Escrow all legal and professional fees and costs of attorneys and other consultants and agents retained by Seller.  Buyer shall pay through Escrow (x) all document recording charges and, (y)  the additional Title Policy premium for ALTA extended coverage and any title endorsements requested by Buyer.  Buyer shall pay outside of Escrow all costs and expenses related to the Due Diligence Investigations, all charges for the Survey or any other survey, and all legal and professional fees and costs of attorneys and other consultants and agents retained by Buyer.

8.Prorations.  The following prorations between Seller and Buyer shall be made by Escrow Holder computed as of the Closing Date as indicated below, in each instance, based on either the actual number of days in the year or, if applicable, the actual number of days in the calendar month, in which the Closing occurs.

8.1Ad Valorem Taxes.  All real estate taxes and assessments attributable to the Property will be prorated at Closing.  Seller shall be charged with all such taxes up to, but not including, the Closing Date.  If the applicable tax rate and assessments for the Property have not been established for the tax year in which Closing occurs, the proration of real estate taxes, and assessments will be based upon the rate and assessments for the preceding year plus two percent (2%) with a post-closing reconciliation when the actual tax bills are available.  All taxes imposed because of a change of use of the Property after Closing will be paid by Buyer.  Real property tax refunds and credits received after the Closing which are attributable to a fiscal tax year prior to the Closing shall belong to Seller (except to the extent such amounts must be refunded to the tenants under the Leases), and those which are attributable to the fiscal tax year in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the date of Closing.

8.2Excise, Transfer and Sales Taxes.  Buyer will be responsible for the payment of all excise, transfer and use taxes imposed with respect to the conveyance of any personal property 


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11

contemplated by this Agreement; provided that the parties agree that no value has been attributed to any personal property included in the sale.

8.3Lease Rentals.  All rents (including all accrued tax and operating expense pass-throughs), charges and revenue of any kind receivable from the Leases which are not delinquent as of the Closing will be prorated at Closing.  Seller will receive all rents (including all accrued tax and operating expense pass-throughs), charges and other revenue of any kind receivable from the Leases up to, but not including, the Closing Date, and Buyer shall receive all such amounts from and after the Closing Date.  No proration will be made with respect to any rents of any kind receivable from the Leases for any period before Closing which are delinquent.  All amounts collected by Buyer subsequent to Closing relating to rents which are delinquent will be promptly remitted to Seller; provided, however, all rents received by Buyer from any specific tenant under a Lease after Closing will be applied first to the rental period under such Lease in which the Closing occurred, second to any current rental period under such Lease following the Closing and third to satisfy delinquent rental obligations under such Lease for any period before Closing not prorated at Closing.  In no event shall Seller be permitted to contact any tenants regarding delinquent rents.  All amounts paid to Seller subsequent to Closing relating to rents which are due and owing for the period prior to Closing shall solely belong to Seller.  All amounts paid to Seller subsequent to Closing relating to rents which are due and owing for the period after Closing shall belong to Buyer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any of such operating expenses and other charges and expenses are payable by tenants under the Leases (collectively, the "Tenant Charges") on an estimated basis, then the Tenant Charges for the period of time in the calendar year prior to the Closing shall be reconciled against actual charges and expenses for such period, provided that such reconciliation shall not be performed until no later than one hundred twenty (120) days following the Closing Date (the "Reconciliation Period").  Upon request therefor by Buyer, Seller shall deliver to Buyer any written materials in Seller’s immediate possession regarding any Tenant Charges incurred by Seller and/or charged to the tenants pursuant to the Leases prior to the Closing.  In accordance with the terms of the Leases (and within the timeframes required thereunder).  Buyer shall prepare such final reconciliation and forward the same to Seller for Seller’s review and reasonable approval prior to sending the reconciliations to the tenants.  If the final reconciliation shows that Seller owes tenants additional sums due to over-collection, Seller shall deliver such amount to Buyer within ten (10) days after receiving such final reconciliation from Buyer.  If the final reconciliation (as reasonably approved by Seller as provided above) shows that Buyer owes Seller additional sums due to under-collection, Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer’s receipt of the under-collected amounts from the tenants (which under-collected amounts Buyer shall use good faith efforts to collect in the ordinary course of business).  Other than as set forth above, there shall not be any further reconciliation of such Tenant Charges after the final reconciliation thereof, the proration of such Tenant Charges pursuant to the final reconciliation being conclusively presumed to be accurate.  After the final reconciliation of Tenant Charges is made by and between the parties, Buyer shall be solely liable and responsible to the tenants under the Leases for such reconciliation of Tenant Charges under the Leases.  The foregoing covenants made by the parties with respect to the final reconciliation of the Tenant Charges shall survive the Closing.  

8.4Security Deposit.  Buyer shall be credited and Seller shall be charged with the balance of the security deposit then held by Seller under the Leases.  During the term of this Agreement, Seller shall not apply any security deposits without the prior written consent of Buyer.  In the event that Seller holds any letters of credit as a tenant security deposit, then prior to the Closing Seller shall (i) execute and deliver to Escrow Holder such assignment and/or transfer documents as may be called for under such letters of credit for the transfer of such letters of credit to Buyer, and (ii) at Buyer's option, either deliver into escrow with Escrow Holder or deliver to Buyer, upon confirmation of the Closing, the originals of such letters of credit.  Unless and until Seller delivers to Buyer either a fully executed assignment to Buyer of the beneficial interest under such letter of credit together with the letter of credit issuer's express written consent to such assignment or a full replacement for such letter of credit issued by 


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11

the letter of credit issuer directly in favor of Buyer, Seller agrees, upon Buyer's request for the benefit of Buyer, to draw down on the letter of credit for Buyer's benefit if an event occurs that entitles the "landlord" to draw down on any such letter of credit.  Buyer shall be responsible for the amount of the transfer fee required under such letters of credit.  

8.5Operating Expenses.  All utility service charges for electricity, heat and air conditioning service, other utilities, elevator maintenance, common area maintenance, taxes other than real estate taxes such as rental taxes, other expenses incurred in operating the Property that Seller customarily pays and that are not paid by tenants on an estimated or other basis, shall be prorated on an accrual basis so long as Seller has delivered written notice to Buyer at least five (5) business days prior to the Contingency Deadline of any such charges it intends to prorate.  Seller shall pay all such expenses that accrue prior to the Close of Escrow and Buyer shall pay all such expenses accruing on the Close of Escrow and thereafter.  Seller and Buyer shall obtain billings and meter readings as of the Close of Escrow (or shall make reasonable estimates of meter readings if same-day readings are not available) to aid in such prorations (if such utilities cannot be changed to Buyer’s name on the Closing Date).  Insurance or any other operating expense refunds and credits received after the Closing which are attributable to a time period prior to the Closing shall belong to Seller (unless same are required to be refunded to the tenants under the Leases), and those which are attributable to a time period in which the Closing occurs shall be prorated based upon the date of Closing.  

8.6Contracts.  Amounts payable under the Contracts being assigned to Buyer shall be prorated on an accrual basis.  Seller shall pay all amounts due thereunder which accrue prior to the Closing Date and Buyer shall pay all amounts accruing on the Closing Date and thereafter.

8.7Leasing Costs.  If the Closing occurs, (a) Seller shall be responsible and shall pay for the costs of tenant improvement work or allowances, and third-party leasing commissions (collectively, the "Leasing Costs"), relating to the initial term of those Leases executed prior to the Effective Date, and (b) Buyer shall be responsible and shall pay for the Leasing Costs relating to or arising from (i) the exercise by any tenant, after the Effective Date, of a renewal, expansion or extension option contained in any of the Leases executed prior to the Effective Date; and (ii) any New Leases, or modifications to Leases in effect as of the Effective Date, entered into after the Effective Date in accordance with the terms of Section 9.1 below.  Any Leasing Costs which are the responsibility of Buyer which are paid by Seller prior to the Closing shall be reimbursed by Buyer to Seller at the Closing through escrow with Escrow Holder.  If, on the Closing Date, there are any outstanding or unpaid Leasing Costs which are the responsibility of Seller as set forth herein, then on the Closing Buyer shall be entitled to a credit toward the payment of the Purchase Price at Closing in the amount of such unpaid Leasing Costs, and following the Closing, Buyer shall assume and be responsible for the payment of such Leasing Costs to the extent of such credit.  

8.8Prorations at Closing; Final Adjustment.  At least two (2) business days prior to the Closing Date, the parties shall agree upon all of the prorations to be made and submit a statement to Escrow Holder setting forth the same.  In the event that any prorations, apportionments or computations made under Section 8 through Section 8.7 shall require final adjustment, then the parties shall make the appropriate adjustments promptly when accurate information becomes available and either party hereto shall be entitled to an adjustment to correct the same, but in no event shall such final adjustment occur later than the end of the Reconciliation Period.  Any corrected adjustment or proration shall be paid in cash to the party entitled thereto.  The provisions of this Section 8.8 shall survive the Close of Escrow.

9.Covenants of Seller.  Seller hereby covenants with Buyer, as follows:


			
	
SMRH:437330730.11
	
-15-
	
 

	
 
	
 
	
 




 



 

9.1Contracts.  Between the Effective Date and the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, (i) Seller will keep Buyer informed of any new Contracts or Leases that are entered into by Seller or any amendments or modifications to the existing Contracts or Leases, which new Contracts or Leases or modifications will survive Closing or otherwise affect the use, operation or enjoyment of the Property after Closing (collectively, "New Contracts"), and (ii) Buyer shall have no right to object or consent to the terms or conditions of any such New Contracts or amendments or extensions thereto.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller will provide Buyer with copies of all New Contracts.  Subsequent to the date which is three (3) business days prior to the expiration of the Property Approval Period, and continuing until the Closing (provided the Agreement has not been terminated), Seller will not enter into any New Contracts without Buyer's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Buyer's sole discretion, and which consent will be deemed to have been denied by Buyer if Buyer does not notify Seller in writing to the contrary within three (3) business days after Seller provides written notice to Buyer of such New Contract; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled to enter into any New Contracts at any time, without Buyer’s prior written consent, if such New Contracts are terminated by Seller prior to the Closing Date.  

9.2Operation in the Ordinary Course.  Subject to Section 9.1 above, from the Effective Date until the Close of Escrow, Seller shall (i) operate and manage the Property in the ordinary course and consistent with Seller's past practices, and (ii) perform when due, and otherwise comply with, all of Seller's material obligations and duties under the Leases and the Contracts.  None of the Personal Property shall be removed from the Real Property, unless replaced by unencumbered personal property of equal or greater utility and value.  All Personal Property and Intangible Personal Property shall be conveyed to Buyer by Seller at the Close of Escrow free from any liens, encumbrances or security interests of any kind or nature other than all such matters that the Title Policy may be subject to as set forth in Section 4.2.2, including, without limitation, the Permitted Title Matters.

9.3Tenant Estoppel Certificate.  Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to receive estoppel certificates from all the tenants of the Real Property.  As used in this Agreement, “commercially reasonable efforts” shall not include any obligation to institute or threaten legal proceedings, to declare or threaten to declare any person in default, to incur any liabilities, to expend any monies, or to cause any other person to do any of the foregoing.  Each estoppel certificate shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit E (or if Seller, after using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain certificates in such form, is unable to obtain the same, then in the form, if any, prescribed in or permitted by the applicable Lease); provided, however, that any provisions of the applicable estoppel certificates respecting defaults, defenses, disputes, environmental matters, claims, offsets, credits, abatements, concessions and recaptures against rent and other charges may be limited to the actual knowledge of the applicable tenant.  Buyer’s failure to object to any estoppel certificate (or any information or provision therein) by written notice to Seller given within five (5) business days after Buyer’s receipt thereof (but not later than the Closing Date) shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s acceptance and approval thereof.  If an estoppel certificate (or a combination of estoppel certificates) will have a Material Adverse Effect, then notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, in which event, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder except for those obligations that expressly survive termination.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller’s failure to obtain such estoppel certificates shall in no event be deemed a default by Seller hereunder or  a failed condition that will entitle Buyer to terminate the Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit, but in the event that Seller fails to obtain an estoppel certificate for any Lease on or before the Outside Closing Date then, subject to the limitations of Section 16.4 hereof,  Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any and all costs, losses, damages or expenses of any kind or nature arising out of or resulting from any defaults

10.AS-IS Sale and Purchase.  Buyer acknowledges, by its initials as set forth below, that the provisions of this Section 10 have been required by Seller as a material inducement to enter into the contemplated transactions, and the intent and effect of such provisions have been explained to Buyer by Buyer's counsel and have been understood and agreed to by Buyer.

areas designated as subject to flooding, fire, seismic or earthquake risks by any federal, state or local entity, the need to obtain flood insurance, the certification of water heater bracing and/or the advisability of obtaining title insurance, or any other condition or circumstance affecting the Property, its financial viability, use or operation, or any portion thereof.  This release includes Claims of which Buyer is presently unaware or which Buyer does not presently suspect to exist in its favor which, if known by Buyer, would materially affect Buyer's release of the Seller Group.  In connection with the general release set forth in this Section 10.1.5, Buyer specifically waives the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides as follows:

"A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor."

    /s/ DR       

Buyer's Initials

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 10.1.5, the foregoing release is not intended to and does not cover (i) any claims arising from a breach of Seller's representations or warranties expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the documents delivered by Seller to Buyer at the Closing (ii) any other breach by Seller of an express obligation of Seller under this Agreement which by its terms survives the Close of Escrow, (iii) Seller’s indemnification obligations set forth in Section 9.3, or (iv) Seller’s fraud (herein collectively the "Excluded Claims").

10.1.6California Specific Provisions.

(a)Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code requires owners of nonresidential property who know or have reasonable cause to believe that a release of Hazardous Substances have come to be located on or beneath real property to provide written notice of that condition to a buyer of said real property.  There is a possibility that a release of Hazardous Substances may have come to be located on or beneath the Property.  By Buyer's execution of this Agreement, Buyer (a) acknowledges Buyer's receipt of the foregoing notice given pursuant to Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code and that it is aware of the benefits conferred to Buyer by Section 1542 of the California Civil Code and the risks it assumes by any waiver of Buyer's benefits thereunder and (b) as of the Closing Date and after receiving advice of Buyer's legal counsel, waives any and all rights or remedies whatsoever, express, implied, statutory or by operation of law, Buyer may have against Seller, including remedies for actual damages under Section 25359.7 of the California Health and Safety Code, arising out of or resulting from any unknown, unforeseen or unanticipated presence or releases of Hazardous Substances or other hazardous materials from, on or about the Property.

(b)Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Seller is required to disclose if any of the Property lies within the following natural hazardous areas or zones:  (i) a special flood hazard area (any type Zone "A" or "V") designated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (Cal.  Gov.  Code § 8589.3); (ii) an area of potential flooding shown on a dam failure inundation map designated pursuant to California Government Code Section 8589.5 (Cal.  Gov.  Code § 8589.4); (iii) a very high fire hazard severity zone designated pursuant to California Government Code Section 51178 or 51179 (in which event the owner maintenance obligations of California Government Code Section 51182 would apply) (Cal.  Gov.  Code § 51183.5); (iv) a wildland area that may contain substantial forest fire

risks and hazards designated pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 4125 (in which event (x) the Property owner would be subject to maintenance requirements of California Public Resources Code Section 4291 and (y) it would not be the State's responsibility to provide fire protection services to any building or structure located within the wildland area except, if applicable, pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 4129 or pursuant to a cooperative agreement with a local agency for those purposes pursuant to California Public Resources Code Section 4142) (Cal.  Pub.  Resources Code § 4136); (v) an earthquake fault zone (Cal.  Pub.  Resources Code § 2621.9); or (vi) a seismic hazard zone (and, if applicable, whether a landslide zone or liquefaction zone) (Cal.  Pub.  Resources Code § 2694).  As contemplated in California Civil Code Section 1103.2(b), if an earthquake fault zone, seismic hazard zone, very high fire hazard severity zone or wildland fire area map or accompanying information is not of sufficient accuracy of scale for the Natural Hazard Expert to determine if the Property is within the respective natural hazard zone, then for purposes of the disclosure the Property shall be considered to lie within such natural hazard zone.  Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the written report prepared by the Natural Hazard Expert regarding the results of its examination fully and completely discharges Seller for errors or omission not within their personal knowledge 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.  In no event shall Seller have any responsibility for matters not actually known to Seller.  THESE HAZARDS MAY LIMIT THE BUYER'S ABILITY TO DEVELOP THE PROPERTY, TO OBTAIN INSURANCE, OR TO RECEIVE ASSISTANCE AFTER A DISASTER.  THE MAPS ON WHICH THESE DISCLOSURES ARE BASED ON ESTIMATES WHERE NATURAL HAZARDS EXIST.  THEY ARE NOT DEFINITIVE INDICATORS OF WHETHER OR NOT A PROPERTY WILL BE AFFECTED BY A NATURAL DISASTER.  BUYER MAY WISH TO OBTAIN PROFESSIONAL ADVICE REGARDING THOSE HAZARDS AND OTHER HAZARDS THAT MAY AFFECT THE PROPERTY.

10.1.7Survival.  The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive the Close of Escrow.

11.Seller's Representations and Warranties.

11.1Formation; Authority.  Seller is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under laws of the state of its formation.

11.6Contracts.  Attached hereto as Exhibit “J” is a true, correct and complete list of all management, service, supply, repair and maintenance agreements, equipment leases and all other contracts and agreements (excluding the Leases) with respect to or affecting the Property as of the Effective Date and at Closing the contract list shall not include those Contracts being terminated pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

Seller has no actual knowledge of and has neither given nor received any written notice of default with respect to any of the Contracts.

11.7Hazardous Substances.  Except as disclosed in the Due Diligence Items or any other information delivered to Buyer, Seller has not received written notice from any governmental entity alleging that Seller is in violation of any Environmental Laws.  

11.8Compliance With Laws.  Seller has not received written notice from any governmental entity of any violations of any laws affecting or applicable to any or all of the Property.

11.9Employees.  There are no employees of Seller employed in connection with the use, management, maintenance or operation of the Property whose employment will continue after the Closing Date, except as is necessary to fulfill Seller’s obligations as tenant pursuant to the NetApp Leases.  

11.10Prohibited Person; Patriot Act Compliance.  Neither Seller, nor any person controlling or controlled by Seller is a country, individual or entity named on a Government List, and the monies obtained in connection with this Agreement will not be used for any activities that contravene any applicable Anti-Money Laundering Laws (as hereinafter defined).  Seller is not a person described by Section 1 of the Executive Order (No. 13,224) Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism, 66 Fed.  Reg.  49,079 (September 24, 2001) and Seller has not engaged in any dealings or transactions or is otherwise associated with any such person.  Neither Seller, nor any person controlling or controlled by Seller (A) is under investigation by any governmental authority for, or has been charged with, or convicted of, money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorist related activities, any crimes which in the United States would be predicate crimes to money laundering, or any violation of the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act of 1970 (otherwise known as the Bank Secrecy Act), the USA PATRIOT Act or any other United States law or

regulation governing money laundering, drug trafficking, terrorist-related activities or other money laundering predicate crimes (collectively, "Anti-Money Laundering Laws"); (B) has been assessed civil or criminal penalties under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws; or (C) has had any of its funds seized or forfeited in any action under any Anti-Money Laundering Laws.

11.11No Additional Consents.  No approval or consent is required from any person (including any partner, shareholder, member, creditor, investor or governmental body) for Seller to execute, deliver or perform this Agreement or the other instruments contemplated hereby or for Seller to consummate the transaction contemplated hereby.  

11.12Subsequent Changes.  If Buyer has actual knowledge (as opposed to constructive or imputed knowledge), Buyer, as its sole remedy, shall have the option of either (i) waiving the breach of warranty or change, and proceeding with the Close of Escrow, or (ii) subject to the provisions in Section 11.12 below, terminating this Agreement in accordance with Section 4.4 and Section 11.12 below.  Any such election shall be made by Buyer not later than five (5) business days from Buyer obtaining actual knowledge of such fact, provided that any election by Buyer to terminate shall not be effective unless Seller fails to cure such changed representation or warranty within thirty (30) days following the delivery of Buyer's termination notice.  If Seller elects to cure any changed representation or warranty following a termination of this Agreement by Buyer, and the end of such 30‐day cure period extends beyond the Outside Closing Date, then the Outside Closing Date shall be extended by two (2) business days following the end of such 30‐day cure period.  If Buyer does not so elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 and this Section 11.12, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 and this Section 11.12, elected to acquire the Property on the terms set forth in this Agreement, and waived all remedies at law or in equity with respect to any representations or warranties resulting from the facts or circumstances that have actually become known to Buyer.  In no event shall Seller be liable to Buyer for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of, any breach of Seller’s representation or warranty which results from any change that (A) occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date and (B) (1) is permitted under the terms of this Agreement, (2) is beyond the reasonable control of Seller or (3) results from any act or omission of Buyer; provided, however, any breach of such Seller’s representation or warranty in any material respect (other than those that are permitted under the terms of this Agreement) shall, if such breach has a Material Adverse Effect and does not result from any act or omission of Buyer, constitute the non-fulfillment of the condition set forth in Section 4.3.2 and Buyer may elect to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.4 and this Section 11.12.

11.13Seller's Knowledge.  Whenever phrases such as "to Seller's knowledge" or "Seller has no knowledge" or similar phrases are used in the foregoing representations and warranties, they will be deemed to refer exclusively to matters within the current actual (as opposed to constructive) knowledge of the Seller's Representative, which is the individual with Seller with the most knowledge of the Property.  No duty of inquiry or investigation on the part of Seller or Seller's Representative will be required or implied by the making of any representation or warranty which is so limited to matters within Seller's actual knowledge, and in no event shall Seller's Representative have any personal liability therefor.

11.14Survival.  All of the covenants, representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Agreement will survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months after the Closing Date.  No claim for a breach of any covenant, representation or warranty of Seller will be actionable or payable if (i) Buyer does not notify Seller in writing of such breach within said twelve (12) months and commence a "legal action" thereon within fourteen (14) months after the Closing Date, or (ii) the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was actually known to Buyer prior to Closing.

15.Broker Commissions.  Seller represents and warrants to Buyer, and Buyer represents and warrants to Seller, that no broker or finder has been engaged in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except for CBRE, who shall be paid by Buyer in accordance with Buyer’s separate agreement with CBRE, Inc.  In the event of any claims for brokers' or finders' fees or commissions in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement, then as a covenant which shall survive the termination of this Agreement or the Close of Escrow, Buyer shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Seller from and against such claims if they shall be based upon any statement or representation or agreement by Buyer, and Seller shall indemnify, save harmless and defend Buyer if such claims shall be based upon any statement, representation or agreement made by Seller.

16.Default.

16.1Default by Seller.  In the event that Seller fails to perform any of the material covenants or agreements contained herein which are to be performed by Seller, Buyer may, at its option and as its exclusive remedy, either (i) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller whereupon Escrow Holder will return to Buyer the Deposit (less the Independent Consideration), Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s Due Diligence Expenses, not to exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00), and both Buyer and Seller will be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive any termination of this Agreement, or (ii) Buyer may seek specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that, (a) Buyer shall only be entitled to the remedy in subsection (ii) above, if (1) Buyer commences and files such specific performance action in the appropriate court not later than the earlier of (A) thirty (30) days following the Outside Closing Date or (B) sixty (60) days after Buyer becomes aware of the default by Seller, and (2) Buyer is not in default under this Agreement.  Except as specifically set forth in this Section 16.1, Buyer does hereby specifically waive any right to pursue any other remedy at law or equity for such default of Seller, including any right to seek, claim or obtain damages, punitive damages, consequential damages or any other damages that would be predicated in whole or in part upon loss of bargains, opportunity lost or any loss of anticipated benefits incurred by Buyer.  Buyer shall not be entitled to record a lien or lis pendens against the Property other than in connection and concurrently with the filing of such specific performance action.  For the purposes of this Section 16.1, the term “Buyer’s Due Diligence Expenses” shall mean Buyer’s third party actual out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer and paid (x) to Buyer’s attorneys in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, and (y) to unrelated and unaffiliated third party consultants in connection with the performance of examinations, inspection and/or investigations of the Real Property.

16.2Default by Buyer.  IN THE EVENT THE BUYER FAILS TO CLOSE OF ESCROW IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF BUYER, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER.  THEREFORE BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT THAT BUYER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY IS AND SHALL BE AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH THE ACCRUED

16.4Limited Liability.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Buyer on its own behalf and on behalf of its agents, members, partners, employees, representatives, officers, directors, agents, related and affiliated entities, successors and assigns (collectively, the "Buyer Parties") hereby agrees that in no event or circumstance shall any of the members, partners, employees, representatives, officers, directors, agents, property management company, affiliated or related entities of Seller, Seller Group or Seller's property management company have any personal liability under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:  (a) the maximum aggregate liability of Seller, and the maximum aggregate amount which may be awarded to and collected by Buyer (including for any breach of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of Seller) under this Agreement or any documents executed pursuant hereto (excluding the NetApp Leases) or in connection herewith, including the Exhibits attached hereto (collectively, the "Other Documents") shall, under no circumstances whatsoever, exceed One Percent (1%) of the Purchase Price (the "CAP Amount") in the aggregate; and (b) no claim by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any representation, warranty and/or covenant of Seller contained herein or any of the Other Documents (excluding the NetApp Leases) may be made, and Seller shall not be liable for any judgment in any action based upon any such claim, unless and until such claim, either alone or together with any other claims by Buyer alleging a breach by Seller of any such representation, warranty and/or covenant, is for an aggregate amount in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000.00) (the "Floor Amount"), in which event Seller's liability

respecting any final judgment concerning such claim or claims shall only be for the amount (if any) in excess of the Floor Amount, subject to the CAP Amount set forth in clause (a) above.  

17.Assignment.  Buyer may not assign, transfer or convey its rights and obligations under this Agreement or in the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be given or withheld in Seller’s sole discretion, and no such approved assignment shall relieve Buyer from its liability under this Agreement until Buyer's assignee has fully performed all of Buyer's obligations hereunder and Close of Escrow has occurred, at which time Buyer shall be released from any further obligations or responsibilities under this Agreement, except for those obligations or responsibilities which specifically survive the Close of Escrow.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller consents in advance to an assignment by Buyer to any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with Buyer, so long as:  (i) no such assignment shall be deemed to relieve Buyer from its liability under this Agreement as provided above, and (ii) Buyer shall deliver written notice to Seller of any such assignment at least five (5) business days in advance of the Closing Date.  Any assignee shall assume all of Buyer's obligations hereunder and succeed to all of Buyer's rights and remedies hereunder and any assignment and assumption must be in writing and delivered to Seller at least five (5) business days prior to the Closing Date.

18.3Waivers.  No waiver of any breach of any covenant or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof, or of any other covenant or provision herein contained.

18.4Successors and Assigns.  Subject to the provisions of Section 17, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

18.5Professional Fees.

any obligations 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.

18.7Time of Essence/Business Days.  Seller and Buyer hereby acknowledge and agree that time is strictly of the essence with respect to each and every term, condition, obligation and provision hereof and that failure to timely perform any of the terms, conditions, obligations or provisions hereof by either party shall constitute a material breach of and a non-curable (but waivable) default under this Agreement by the party so failing to perform.  Unless the context otherwise requires, all periods terminating on a given day, period of days, or date shall terminate at 5:00 p.m.  (Pacific time) on such date or dates, and references to "days" shall refer to calendar days except if such references are to "business days" which shall refer to days which are not Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday.

The terms “include”, “includes”, “including” and words of similar import shall be deemed in all cases to be followed by “without limitation”.  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 are to this Agreement.  All exhibits referred to in this Agreement are attached and incorporated by this reference.  In the event the date on which Buyer or Seller is required to take any action under the terms of this Agreement is not a business day, the action shall be taken on the next succeeding business day.

18.9Material Adverse Effect.  For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Effect" shall mean an effect, event, development or change that, individually or in the aggregate with all other effects, events, developments or changes, is materially adverse to the business, results of operations or financial condition of the Property, taken as a whole, regardless of whether the use of such term is only in respect of a single matter, such as in Section 4.3.2 and taking into consideration the fact that it is Buyer’s intent to demolish all of the Improvements other than the Important Buildings on the Land and build new structures thereon for Buyer’s own use and not for the lease thereof to others; provided, that none of the following shall be included in determining whether a Material Adverse Effect has occurred:  (a) changes in conditions in the U.S. or global economy or capital or financial markets generally, including changes in interest or exchange rates, (b) changes in general legal, tax, regulatory, political or business conditions that, in each case, generally affect the geographic region in which the Property is located or the commercial real estate industry (unless, and only to the extent, such effect, event, development or change affects the Property in a disproportionate manner as compared to other properties in such geographic region affected by such effect, event, development or change), (c) changes in GAAP, (d) the negotiation, execution, announcement or performance of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including the impact thereof on relationships, contractual or otherwise, with tenants, suppliers, lenders, investors, venture partners or employees, (e) acts of war, armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism, or any escalation or worsening of any such acts of war, armed hostilities, sabotage or terrorism

threatened or underway as of the date of this Agreement (unless, and only to the extent, such effect, event, development or change affects the Property in a disproportionate manner as compared to other properties in the geographic regions affected by such effect, event, development or change), (f) earthquakes, hurricanes or other natural disasters (unless, and only to the extent, such effect, event, development or change affects the Property in a disproportionate manner as compared to other properties in such geographic region affected by such effect, event, development or change), or (g) any action taken by Seller at the request, or with the prior written consent, of Buyer.

19.Intentionally Deleted.

20.Exchange.  Upon the request of a party hereto (the "Requesting Party"), the other party (the "Cooperating Party") shall cooperate with the Requesting Party in Closing the sale of the Property in accordance with this Agreement so as to qualify such transaction as an exchange of like-kind property; provided, however, the Cooperating Party shall not be required to take title to any exchange property and the Cooperating Party will not be required to agree to or assume any covenant, obligation or liability in connection therewith, the Closing hereunder shall not be delayed as a result of, or conditioned upon, such exchange, the Requesting Party shall pay all costs associated with such exchange, and the Requesting Party shall remain primarily liable under this Agreement and indemnify the Cooperating Party from any liability in connection with such exchange.

21.Confidentiality.  Buyer agrees that, (a) except as otherwise provided or required by valid law, (b) except to the extent Buyer considers such documents or information reasonably necessary to prosecute and/or defend any claim made with respect to the Property or this Agreement, and (c) except to the extent reasonably necessary to deliver such documents or information to Buyer's employees, paralegals, attorneys and/or consultants in connection with Buyer's evaluation of this transaction, (i) Buyer, Buyer Parties and Buyer's agents and consultants (collectively, the "Buyer's Representatives"), shall keep the contents of any materials, reports, documents, data, test results, and other information related to the transaction contemplated hereby, including the Due Diligence Items and all information regarding Buyer's acquisition or ownership of the Property confidential, (ii) Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall keep and maintain the contents of this Agreement, including the amount of consideration being paid by Buyer for the Property confidential, and (iii) Buyer and Buyer's Representatives shall refrain from generating or participating in any publicity or press release regarding this transaction without the prior written consent of Seller.  Buyer acknowledges that significant portions of the Due Diligence Items are proprietary in nature and that Seller would suffer significant and irreparable harm in the event of the misuse or disclosure of the Due Diligence Items.  Without affecting any other rights or remedies that either party may have, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be entitled to seek the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for any breach, threatened breach or anticipatory breach of the provisions of this Section 21 by Buyer or any of Buyer's Representatives.  The provisions of this Section 21 shall survive any termination of this Agreement but shall not survive the Closing except for Buyer's covenants in clauses (ii) and (iii) hereof which covenants shall survive the Closing.

Assignee hereby accepts such assignment and delegation by Assignor and agrees to fully perform and assume all the obligations of Assignor under the Property Contracts first arising from and after the Assignment Date.  

2.No Warranties.  Assignee does hereby acknowledge and agree, and represents and warrants to Assignor, that Assignor is transferring each of the Property Contracts to Assignee (to the extent the terms of any of the Property Contracts do not limit or restrict such right) without any warranty of any kind or nature except as set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
