The Independent Consideration shall be nonrefundable under all circumstances and shall not be applied to the Purchase Price at Closing. Buyer and Seller expressly acknowledge and agree that (a) 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 Due Diligence Period, and (b) such consideration is adequate for all purposes under any applicable law or judicial decision.
| 3. | DUE DILIGENCE/APPROVAL. |
| 3.1 | Due Diligence Period. |
(a) Buyer shall have a period of time within which Buyer shall diligently perform such reviews, inspections, and investigations regarding the Property and the condition of title thereto as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate, commencing on the date that Seller delivers all of the Property Information (defined below) to Buyer and continuing until 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date which is Thirty (30) days from the Effective Date (the “Due Diligence Period”). In order to facilitate Buyer’s reviews, inspections and investigations regarding the Property and the condition of title to the Property, Seller shall produce to Buyer all documents identified on Exhibit C, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, including any environmental studies and reports regarding the Property and all of the Tenant Leases, any environmental reports regarding the Property and all of the documents, studies, phase 1, reports and other materials, governmental permits, licenses, development rights, entitlements, approvals, warranties, guarantees, plans, specifications and other materials, to the extent the same are within Seller's possession and control ("Property Information"). To the extent Seller reasonably knows that Seller does not have possession or control of a document identified on Exhibit C, Seller shall disclose to Buyer the existence of all such documents Seller does not have custody or control of as part of its obligation to deliver all of the Property Information herein.
(b) Provided that all such inspections are scheduled in advance through Seller, Seller shall permit Buyer and its agents, contractors, subcontractors, consultants, employees, engineers, legal counsel and other authorized representatives of Buyer who shall inspect, investigate, test or evaluate the Real Property on behalf of Buyer (collectively, “Licensee Parties”), during normal weekday business hours and in a manner which will not unreasonably interfere with the quiet use and enjoyment of the Real Property, to inspect all portions of the Real Property. Buyer shall give Seller not less than two (2) Business Days prior written notice of its intent to enter upon the Real Property and Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to be present during all such inspections. All inspections by or on behalf of Buyer shall be at Buyer’s sole cost, and Buyer shall bear all risk and responsibility for any property damage or personal injury caused by such inspections, and hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from any damages caused thereby and from any liens resulting therefrom; provided, however, such indemnification obligation shall not be applicable to Buyer’s mere discovery of any pre-existing adverse physical condition at the Real Property, except to the extent Buyer and/or the Licensee Parties exacerbate such pre-existing condition and then only to the extent of such exacerbation. Prior to entering upon the Real Property, Buyer shall provide to Seller certificates of insurance confirming that Buyer and its authorized representatives have obtained commercial general liability insurance in the face amount of not less than $2,000,000 in the aggregate naming Seller as an additional insured, with respect to any acts or omissions of Buyer and the Licensee Parties at or upon the Real Property.
(c) Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, if Buyer elects to proceed with the transaction, Buyer shall provide written notice to Seller indicating which of the Contracts, if any, that Buyer elects to assume at Closing, provided that Seller shall have no obligation to assign to Buyer any Contracts which have been entered into by Seller with the service provider thereunder as to multiple properties owned by Seller or entities affiliated with Seller or its direct or indirect beneficial owners. Only those contracts so designated by Buyer in writing shall be the “Assumed Contracts.” Upon Closing, Seller shall be obligated to terminate the Contracts other than the Assumed Contracts.
| 2 |
3.2 Title Review. As soon as reasonably possible following the Effective Date, Seller shall cause Chicago Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) to provide to Buyer a preliminary title report prepared together with copies of all documents referred to as exceptions therein (the “Title Report”). On or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any disapproved title matter or any disapproved matters disclosed by any survey (the “Survey”) obtained by Buyer (the “Disapproved Title Matters”). All title exceptions set forth in the Title Report and matters shown on the Survey, in either case to the extent not disapproved in accordance with the preceding sentence, shall constitute “Permitted Title Exceptions.” Any failure by Buyer to timely provide notice of any Disapproved Title Matters, shall be deemed Buyer’s approval of all matters shown in the Title Report and the Survey. Within three (3) days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s notice of any Disapproved Title Matters, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of those Disapproved Title Matters that Seller will cure by removing or causing the Title Company to insure or endorse against the same at or prior to the Closing. Seller’s failure to so notify Buyer within said three (3) day period shall be deemed Seller’s election not to cure any Disapproved Title Matters. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to cure any Disapproved Title Matters, Buyer shall then have the right to elect, on or prior to two (2) days following Seller’s election or deemed election not to cure the same, either (a) to terminate this Agreement, or (b) to waive its disapproval of such Disapproved Title Matters (in which event such Disapproved Title Matters shall then become Permitted Title Exceptions). Buyer’s failure to deliver a notice of termination or waiver of its disapproval of such Disapproved Title Matters prior to such date will be deemed Buyer’s waiver of its disapproval of such Disapproved Title Matter(s) and election to proceed to the Closing of the purchase of the Property. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions of this Section 3.2, any (i) mortgage or deed of trust liens encumbering the Real Property, (ii) delinquent taxes and assessments, and (iii) mechanics’ liens caused solely by Seller which encumber the Real Property, shall, in any event, all be deemed to constitute Disapproved Title Matters which Seller shall satisfy and remove at or prior to the Closing. In the event that following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, any new exceptions to title, including any new exceptions based on a Survey obtained by Buyer and provided to the Title Company prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, are disclosed, Buyer shall have the right within two (2) days after receiving notice of the same, to provide notice to Seller in writing that Buyer disapproves of the same, in which case any such disapproved matters shall constitute a Disapproved Title Matter and shall be subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2 as to Seller’s election to cure or not to cure the same, and Buyer’s election to waive its disapproval of such new Disapproved Title Matter. If Buyer fails to deliver written notice of disapproval of any such new title exception within such two (2) day period, such new matter will be deemed to constitute a Permitted Title Exception. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Closing Date shall be extended such number of days as is necessary to allow for the Seller and Buyer response times as set forth in this Section 3.2 above.
3.3 Approval or Disapproval of the Property. If Buyer disapproves of any matter that is has reviewed in connection with its reviews, inspections and investigations with respect to the Property, Buyer shall prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific time) on the date of expiration of the Due Diligence Period, provide to Seller written notice of such disapproval (“Buyer’s Disapproval Notice”), and upon Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s Disapproval Notice, this Agreement shall automatically terminate, Seller shall return the Deposit to Buyer and, except for those provisions of this Agreement which expressly survive termination, neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. If Buyer fails or elects not to timely deliver Buyer’s Disapproval Notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved of the Property and all of Buyer’s reviews, inspections and investigations with respect to the same, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
3.4 Financing Continency. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, on the date that is forty (45) days from the opening of Escrow (the “Financing Contingency Period”) to procure a commitment for financing for the acquisition of the Property (“Financing Contingency”). At or before the end of the Financial Contingency Period, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a removal or waiver of the financial contingency or a notice of termination of this Agreement. Buyer may elect to not remove or waive the financial contingency and elect to terminate the Agreement if Buyer is unable to obtain acquisition financing in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer, all in Buyer’s absolute and sole discretion. If Buyer fails or elects not to timely deliver a removal or waiver of the financial contingency or a notice of termination of Agreement to Seller and Escrow Holder, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved or waived the financial contingency, and this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. In the event of termination by Buyer or Seller as described above, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and the parties shall have no further obligations hereunder except for those provisions of this Agreement that expressly survive termination.

If following the Closing Buyer discovers that any Seller Representations are not materially true and accurate, then to the extent that such Seller Representations were not materially true and correct as of the Closing, Buyer shall be entitled make a claim or to bring an action against Seller with respect to such Seller Representations., provided that no such claim or action shall be brought if the damages to Buyer on account thereof are less than Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000), and in no event shall the liability of Seller for any such Seller Representations exceed an amount equal to One Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,500,000).

Further, Buyer shall also be responsible for the expense of any additional coverages and/or endorsements requested, desired or obtained by Buyer beyond the Seller’s Title Costs and for the cost of any lender’s policy of title insurance in the event that Buyer obtains financing of the Real Property upon the Closing (provided that the obtaining of any such financing is not a condition to the Closing).

11.4 Subordination, Non-Disturbance, and Attornment Agreement. Buyer reserves the right to make reasonable requests for certain tenants under the Tenant Leases to execute and deliver forms of subordination, non-disturbance, and attornment agreement (“SNDA”) prepared by Buyer, which is presently anticipated to be requested for such tenants whose rental income represents 25% or more of the total combined rental income for the Property. If Buyer makes such a request, Seller agrees to provide reasonable cooperation by: (i) sending the form SNDA to each such applicable tenants under the Tenant Leases with the request that they execute and deliver such SNDA to Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date; and (ii) provide Buyer, or its lender, with the contact information for each such tenant under the Tenant Leases and permission to contact them to negotiate any requested changes to any such delivered SNDA.
12. BROKERAGE COMMISSIONS. The parties acknowledge and agree that both Buyer and Seller have been represented by Lee & Associates – Pasadena, Inc.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.
