Investigation, shall comply with any and all applicable Legal Requirements. Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any mechanics liens arising out of Purchasers entry on the Property.

2.1.3 Prior to any entry upon the Property by Purchaser or Purchasers agents, contractors, subcontractors or employees, Purchaser shall deliver to
Seller evidence that Purchaser is carrying a policy of commercial general public liability insurance (including contractual liability), with a financially responsible insurance company reasonably acceptable to Seller, with a combined single limit of

respect to any property damage, liens, liabilities, demands, actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses, damages, costs, expenses that result or arise
from the mere discovery or disclosure of, or the unintentional exacerbation of, an existing condition at the Property. The provisions of this Section 2.1.4 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement.

2.1.5 No invasive testing or boring shall be done without prior written notification to Seller and Sellers written permission of the same, which
Seller may withhold in its reasonable discretion, provided that Purchaser may conduct soil tests in accordance with this Section 2.1.5. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, not less than three (3) calendar days prior to
commencing any such invasive investigations or inspections, Purchaser shall submit to Seller for review and approval a work plan (the Work Plan) describing any and all proposed invasive work to be conducted on the Property by Purchaser
or Purchasers authorized representatives (such as the collection of soil or groundwater samples or similar tests involving the penetration of the surface or subsurface of the Property) and any other invasive testing for environmental or
structural considerations or otherwise, (all hereinafter the Work), and shall secure any permits required for such Work. It shall be reasonable for Seller to withhold its consent to any proposed Work Plan that does not require Purchaser
and/or Purchasers representatives to carry the insurance required in Section 2.1.3 above. In addition, Seller, in its reasonable discretion, shall have the right to request in writing modifications to the Work Plan within two
(2) Business Days of its receipt thereof. Sellers failure to request in writing modifications in the Work Plan within said two (2) Business Day period shall be deemed Sellers approval of the Work Plan. If Purchaser and Seller
are unable to agree upon the scope and content of the Work Plan, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in the manner provided below. Purchaser shall not commence the Work prior to obtaining Seller written approval of the Work Plan. Any material
modification of, or material deviation from, the approved Work Plan shall require Sellers prior written consent (not to be unreasonably withheld). Seller shall have the right to be present during Work on the Property, and, at Sellers
request, Purchaser shall provide Seller with split samples of all samples taken for testing. Promptly following completion of the Work, Purchaser shall, at Purchasers sole cost and expense, remove from the Property any and all wastes or drill
cuttings generated from its activities and restore the Property to the condition as it existed immediately prior to Purchasers entry to the Property, to the extent reasonably practicable. Purchaser shall use reasonable care and consideration
in connection with any of the Work.

2.1.6 Purchaser shall deliver to Seller copies of all applications and other documents delivered to or
received from any public agency in connection with the Property simultaneously with so delivering or receiving such documents. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Purchaser shall likewise deliver to Seller copies of all Phase I, Phase II or
other environmental reports or documents of any kind whatsoever (excluding appraisals and similar documents) pertaining to the Property ordered by or on behalf of Purchaser from a third party.

2.2. If, as a result of its Due Diligence performed prior to the Due Diligence Deadline Date (as defined below) or otherwise, Purchaser determines, in
its sole and absolute discretion (and for any or no reason), that the Property is not a suitable investment for its purposes, then



5

7.1.1 Title Exception shall
mean any lien, easement, restrictive covenant, condition, limitation, right-of-way, exception, lis pendens, or other encumbrance or burden (including encroachments and other matters of survey) that constitutes an exception or qualification to
marketable fee title to the Premises.



12



---

7.1.2 Permitted Exceptions shall mean the Title Exceptions listed in Schedule B
hereto and the following in existence on the date hereof: (i) easements apparent upon visual inspection; (ii) set back lines; (iii) encroachments; (iv) assessments and current taxes of record, and (v) zoning regulations..

7.1.3 Title Insurer shall mean Chicago Title Insurance Company.

7.2. At the Closing, Seller shall convey, and Purchaser shall accept, such title to the Premises that the Title Insurer shall be willing at Closing to
insure under an ALTA extended owners policy (at standard rates and without any special or additional premium), free and clear of all Title Exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions. The willingness to issue or issuance by the Title
Insurer of Purchasers Title Insurance Policy that satisfies the criteria of Section 4.4.5 above shall be conclusive evidence that Seller has complied with the obligation to convey good and marketable title to the Property.

7.3. Seller shall deliver to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days following the Effective Date a title report (the Preliminary Title
Report) with respect to the Premises, issued within the last 30 days by Title Insurer, together with complete and legible copies of all Title Exception documents referred to in the Title Report. Seller shall also provide to Purchaser the
existing ALTA survey (the Existing Survey) relating to the Premises. Purchaser shall have the right to update the Existing Survey at Purchasers sole cost and expense.

7.4. Seller shall have the following obligations with respect to discharging, at or prior to the Closing, Title Exceptions that are set forth in the
Title Report (or in any updates or continuations thereof, or supplements thereto) and are not Permitted Exceptions (each such Title Exception being herein called a Title Objection):

7.4.1 Seller shall be obligated to discharge the following Title Objections (collectively, the Required Discharge Objections) at or
prior to the Closing: (i) any Title Objection which is which is a mortgage or other lien encumbering the Premises or which otherwise can be discharged by the payment of a liquidated sum of money; and (ii) any other Title Objection that is
created or permitted by Seller after the date hereof.

7.4.2 With respect to all Title Objections other than Required Discharge Objections
(herein called Other Title Objections), Purchaser shall have a period of ten Business Days after delivery of the Preliminary Title Report or any update or continuation thereof (or, if later, ten Business Days after the Effective
Date) in which to object to any Other Title Objections reflected therein (it being understood that Seller shall be obligated to discharge all Required Discharge Objections whether or not Purchaser objects thereto). Seller may elect to undertake to
use good faith efforts to remove any Other Title Objections prior to the Closing Date, by giving notice to Purchaser within five (5) calendar days after delivery to Seller of Purchasers objections thereto. If Seller does not so notify
Purchaser within such five (5) calendar day period, Purchaser may, by notice to Seller given within two (2) Business Days after expiration of the previous five (5) calendar day period, either (1) proceed with the purchase and
waive the Other Title Objections in question, or (2) to terminate this Agreement and receive back



13



---

the Deposit Monies made by Purchaser. Failure of Purchaser to so notify Seller within said two (2) Business Day period as to its election shall be
deemed an election to go forward and waive its objections to the Other Title Objections in question. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Purchasers failure to terminate this Agreement on or prior to the Due Diligence
Deadline Date shall be deemed approval by Purchaser of all Other Title Objections reflected in the Preliminary Title Report; provided, however, if Purchaser has objected to any Other Title Objections prior to the Due Diligence Deadline Date, and
Seller in accordance with the foregoing provisions hereof has agreed to cure (or use good faith efforts to cure) such Other Title Objections prior to Closing, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement in the event Seller is not able, or refuses,
to cure such Other Title Objections prior to Closing, in which event the Deposit Monies shall be returned to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 7.4.2, Seller shall be required to deliver (at or prior to Closing)
such title affidavits and similar instruments as are necessary to cause the Title Insurer to omit the so-called standard exceptions from Purchasers Title Policy (whether or not Purchaser objects thereto).

7.4.3 Without limiting the foregoing, Seller, at the Closing, shall (i) deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Title Insurer one or more
customary owner title affidavits, as requested by the Title Insurer, and (ii) provide the Title Insurer with any reasonably requested evidence of the due authorization, execution and delivery of the Grant Deed and other documents and
instruments to be executed by Seller at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement.

7.4.4 Seller shall have the right, by written notice to
Purchaser given at least 5 Business Days prior to the then Scheduled Closing Date, to postpone the then Scheduled Closing Date for up to 10 days (in the aggregate) for the purposes of discharging, or using reasonable efforts to discharge, any Title
Objections. Any such postponement shall be to a Business Day.

7.4.5 For all purposes hereof, a Title Objection shall be deemed
Discharged only if the Title Insurer shall be willing to omit (for no additional premium to Purchaser) such Title Objection as an exception to Purchasers title insurance coverage with respect to the Premises. Seller, at its
option, may use a portion(s) of the Balance to discharge any Title Objection(s).

8. Property Condition

8.1. At the Closing, Purchaser shall accept the Premises in its AS IS WHERE IS condition existing as of the date hereof (subject
to reasonable wear and tear occurring between the date hereof and the Closing), subject, however, to all the other terms and conditions of this Agreement (and with the understanding that nothing in this Article 8 shall in any way
affect Sellers obligations and liabilities under the Credence Lease).

8.2. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing (and
with the understanding that nothing in this Article 8 shall in any way affect Sellers obligations and liabilities under the Credence Lease, including its obligations and liabilities under the Credence Lease with respect to Hazardous Substances
(as defined below)), Purchaser hereby expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies Purchaser may now or hereafter have against Seller, whether



14

Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA), as amended by the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (42 USCA §9613), as the same may be further amended or replaced by any similar law, rule or regulation, (ii) any and all
rights Purchaser may now or thereafter have against Seller under the Carpenter Presley-Tanner Hazardous Substance Account Act (California Health and Safety Code, Section 25300 et seq.), as the same may be further amended or replaced by any
similar law, rule or regulation, and (iii) any and all claims, whether known or unknown, now or hereafter existing, with respect to the Property under Section 107 of CERCLA (42 USCA §9607). As used herein, the term Hazardous
Substance(s) includes, without limitation, any hazardous or toxic materials, substances or wastes, such as (A) those materials identified in Sections 66680 through 66685 and Administrative Code, Division 4, Chapter 30, as amended from
time to time, (B) those materials defined in Section 25501(j) of the California Health and Safety Code, (C) any materials, substances or wastes which are toxic, ignitable, corrosive or reactive and which are regulated by any local

biphenyls (PCBs), and (H) Freon and other chlorofluorocarbons.

12.1. If,
during the Contract Period, the Premises (or any part thereof) shall be damaged or destroyed by a fire or other casualty, then the following provisions shall apply:

12.1.1 Seller, within ten (10) days after the occurrence of such fire or other casualty, shall engage an independent engineer or contractor selected by Seller and approved by Purchaser (which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld) to determine the estimated cost to repair and restore damaged or destroyed portions of the Improvements (the Estimated Restoration Cost), which independent engineer or contractor shall promptly deliver a
statement to each of Seller and Purchaser setting forth such Estimated Restoration Cost (such statement being herein called the ERC Statement).

12.1.2 If, in any case, the Estimated Restoration Cost is equal to or greater than $250,000, then Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the ERC Statement, shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon (i) Escrow Holder shall pay the Deposit Monies to Purchaser, and (ii) thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except with respect to
the provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.1.3 If (i) Purchaser has the right
to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.1.2 hereof, but does not timely exercise such right, or (ii) the Estimated Restoration Cost is less than $250,000, then this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect,
and Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to effectuate the Closing under all the terms of this Agreement, subject to the following: (A) Purchaser shall accept the Premises subject to the damage or destruction in question without any adjustment to
the Purchase Price on account thereof; (B) Seller, prior to the Closing, shall diligently prosecute all available claims under its property insurance policies, but Seller shall not settle any such claims without the written consent of
Purchaser; and (C) at the Closing, Seller shall (1) pay to Purchaser an amount equal to all insurance proceeds theretofore received from its insurance company under its property insurance policies on account of such damage or destruction
(net of its reasonable costs of collection), plus the amount of the deductible with respect to such insurance proceeds, and (2)



22



---

assign and transfer to Purchaser all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to any further proceeds which Seller is thereafter entitled to receive
under such insurance policies covering such damage or destruction, all of which proceeds (and the deductible therefor) shall, from and after the Closing, be applied in accordance with the Credence Lease.

12.2. If, during the Contract Period, a Governmental Authority shall initiate any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings (Taking
Proceedings) which might result in the taking of the Premises or any part thereof, then Seller shall so notify Purchaser (the Taking Notice), which Taking Notice shall describe the portion(s) of the Premises which will
or might be taken; and the following provisions shall apply:

12.2.1 If the Taking Proceeding will or might result in the taking of any
portion of the Premises, then Purchaser, within ten (10) Business Days after the delivery of the Taking Notice, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon (i) Escrow Holder shall pay the Deposit
Monies to Purchaser, and (ii) thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except with respect to the provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.

12.2.2 If Purchaser has the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.2.1 hereof, but does not timely exercise such right, then this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Seller and Purchaser shall proceed to effectuate the Closing under all the terms of this Agreement, subject to the following: (i) Purchaser shall accept the Premises subject to
the Taking Proceedings without any adjustment to the Purchase Price on account thereof; (ii) Seller, prior to the Closing, shall, at no cost to it, apply for any and all claims for any condemnation award on account of such Taking Proceedings
(but Seller shall not settle any such claims without the written consent of Purchaser); and (iii) Seller, at the Closing, shall (x) pay to Purchaser an amount equal to any condemnation award theretofore received by Seller on account of
such Taking Proceedings (net of its reasonable costs of collection), and (y) assign and transfer to Purchaser all of Sellers right, title and interest in and to any condemnation award which may thereafter be paid on account of such Taking
Proceedings, which award (from and after the Closing) shall be applied in accordance with the terms of the Credence Lease.

13. Notices

13.1. Any notice, demand or other communication (each, a Notice) that is given or rendered pursuant to this
Agreement by either Seller or Purchaser to the other party, shall be (i) given or rendered in writing, (ii) addressed to the other party at its required address(es) for notices delivered to it as set forth below, and (iii) delivered
via either (x) hand delivery, (y) nationally recognized overnight courier service (e.g., Federal Express, Express Mail), or (z) facsimile copier. Each party may, from time to time, designate an additional or substitute required
address(es) for notices delivered to it (provided, that such designation must be made by notice given in accordance with this Section). Any such notice that is sent by facsimile copier as aforesaid shall be deemed given at the time and on the date
of machine transmittal provided same is sent by the sender prior to 4:00 p.m. (California time) on a Business Day (if sent later, then



23

notice shall be deemed given on the next Business Day) provided that such facsimile shall be followed by a notice given by another permitted method; any such
notice given by another permitted described above shall be deemed given or rendered, and effective for purposes of this Agreement, as of the date actually delivered to the other party at such address(es) (whether or not the same is then received by
other party due to a change of address of which no notice was given, or any rejection or refusal to accept delivery). Notices from either party (to the other) may be given or rendered by its counsel.

13.2. Subject to the foregoing, the required address(es) of each party for notices delivered to it is (are) as set forth below.
