Period”):
(a) Inspection and approval of the physical condition and use of the Property, including
without limitation, the availability of access, utility services, zoning, environmental risks,
engineering and soil conditions. For the purpose of conducting physical inspections, Seller agrees
to provide Purchaser and its authorized agents, accompanied by a representative of Seller,

Period upon at least forty-eight (48) hours prior notice to Seller, and Purchaser shall conduct

times, (ii) in places and (iii) utilizing procedures as shall be approved by Seller in writing, in

reserves the right to have a representative present. Purchaser agrees to provide Seller with a
copy of any third party report at no cost to Seller upon Seller’s written request. Any inspections
and testing shall be at Purchaser’s expense. Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify Seller and to
hold Seller, Seller’s agents and employees harmless from and against any and all losses, cost,
damage, claims or liabilities including, but not limited to, mechanic’s and materialmen’s liens and
attorneys’ fees, arising out of or in connection with Purchaser’s access to or entry upon the Real

financial projections, budgets, appraisals, accounting and tax records and similar proprietary,
confidential or privileged information (the “Due Diligence Documents”). Seller shall provide
copies of the Due Diligence Documents to Purchaser within five (5) Business Days after the
Effective Date. The information supplied to or made available to Purchaser by Seller as provided
in this Section 4 shall not be released or disclosed to any other parties unless and until this
transaction has closed without the prior written consent of Seller; provided, however, that
Purchaser may disclose such information to Purchaser’s attorneys, accountants, consultants agents,
and representatives, as long as each such person, if not an employee of Purchaser, has first
executed and delivered to Seller a Nondisclosure Agreement in the form of Exhibit “K” attached to
this Agreement. In the event that this transaction is not closed for any reason, then Purchaser
shall refrain, and shall cause its agents, representatives and accountants to refrain, from
disclosing all such information to any other party. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Seller (which indemnification shall survive the closing of this transaction or the
termination or expiration of this Agreement, whichever shall occur) from and against all loss,
damage or expense sustained or incurred by Seller by reason of any unauthorized disclosure of such
information.
Prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement for any reason whatsoever or no reason, and thereupon shall be entitled to
a full refund of its ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money. In the event that Purchaser elects not to proceed with the
purchase of the Property, then not later than 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time on the last day of the Due
Diligence Period, Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (or via facsimile transmission) that it
elects not to proceed with the purchase of the Property. In the event that Purchaser gives
Seller notice of Purchaser’s election not to proceed, this Agreement shall terminate and become
null and void, and Purchaser shall thereupon receive a full refund of its ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, together
with all interest earned thereon and, subject to the provisions of Section 25 of this Agreement,
shall be relieved of any and all liability hereunder. In the event that Purchaser gives notice of
its election to proceed or does not give Seller any notice whether Purchaser intends to proceed or
not, the parties shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms hereof.
Upon a termination of this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to return to Seller all materials,
other than de minimis materials, delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 4 or otherwise
under this Agreement and all copies thereof, together with copies of any marketing studies,
environmental studies and other tests, studies or site specific information or studies pertaining

and/or the Improvements.
5. Evidence of Title and Survey. As evidence of Seller’s title, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser:
(a) Evidence of Title. At Seller’s expense, and as expeditiously as possible, but in
no event later than five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, a title commitment issued by
Title Company (the “Title Commitment”). At Closing, Seller shall pay to Title Company the entire
amount of the premium payable for a C.L.T.A. owner’s title insurance policy (or similar policy in
general use in the state where the Real Estate is located), with standard exceptions, and subject
to the Deed of Trust and related documents and the Permitted Exceptions, in the amount of the
Purchase Price, naming Purchaser as the insured (the “Title Policy”), and Title Company shall
▇▇▇▇-up and acknowledge the Title Commitment so as to constitute a Title Policy as of the Closing
Date. Any endorsements required by Purchaser shall be at Purchaser’s expense. If Purchaser desires
an A.L.T.A. owner’s title insurance policy, the increase in premium over the cost of the C.L.T.A.
owner’s title insurance policy shall be paid by Purchaser.
(b) Objections to Title. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Permitted
Exceptions” means those exceptions, other than any exception in connection with the Deed of Trust,
set forth in the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5
(b). In the event the Title Commitment contains any exceptions to title, Purchaser shall have
until the later of: (i) ten (10) Business Days from and after its receipt of the Title Commitment,
or (ii) the end of the Due Diligence Period, to approve or object to the condition of title
disclosed in the Title Commitment. Purchaser’s approval of any such exceptions to title which are
not Permitted Exceptions shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close the
transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which condition Purchaser reserves the right to waive.
If objection to the title is made, based upon a written opinion of Purchaser’s attorney, that title
is not in the condition required for performance hereunder for reason other than any lien,
judgment, debt, security interest or other lien, financial encumbrance or obligation in a
liquidated amount, Purchaser shall give Seller ten (10) Business Days from the date it is notified
in writing of the particular defects claimed, either, as Seller shall elect, (i) to remedy the
title or (ii) to obtain title insurance as required above, or (iii) to decline to remedy the title
or obtain title insurance as required above, and, if Purchaser has not elected to waive such
defect, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, plus accrued interest, shall be refunded forthwith in full termination
of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 25 of this Agreement. Provided all other
conditions precedent set forth in Section 4 of this Agreement have been met to Purchaser’s
satisfaction or have been waived by Purchaser, if Seller remedies the title or obtains a Title
Commitment acceptable to Purchaser within the time specified, Purchaser agrees to complete the
sale, and if Seller is unable to remedy the title or obtain title insurance within the time
specified, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, plus accrued interest, shall be refunded forthwith in full
termination of this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Section 25 of this Agreement.
Purchaser shall have the right to notify Title Company of any matters materially affecting
the title to the Property which have not been disclosed by the Title Commitment after reviewing
same with Seller and permitting Seller the opportunity to cure or dispose of same. In the event
such matters, in the opinion of Purchaser, adversely affect the title to the Property, Purchaser
shall have the right to object to the condition of the title as provided herein.
(c) Survey. Within five (5) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall
deliver to Purchaser, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, a copy of the existing survey of the
Property (the “Survey”) which is in the possession of Seller. Purchaser may, at its sole cost and
expense order such update(s) and revisions(s) to the Survey as Purchaser in its opinion shall deem
necessary or desirable.

hereof and as of the Closing Date:
