(v) Buyer shall have determined, in its sole discretion, that utilities, including, but not limited to, gas, electricity, water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, telephone and other telecommunication utilities, are available at the Property line, in such capacities and in such locations as are satisfactory to Buyer.

(c) Since April 7, 2010, Buyer and its agents have had and shall continue to have the right at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Buyer after reasonable notice to Seller to enter upon the Property and make and conduct any and all tests and inspections that Buyer deems necessary and/or appropriate to satisfy Buyer as to the condition of the Property; provided, however, that Buyer shall (i) conduct such tests and inspections so as not to interfere unreasonably with the use of the Property by Seller, and (ii) promptly restore any damage to the Property resulting from the entry of Buyer or its agents. If Buyer desires to do any invasive testing (the “Invasive Testing”) of the Property, then (A) such Invasive Testing and the plans must be approved by Seller in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; (B) Buyer first executes and delivers to Seller such indemnities, insurance, proof of financial responsibility and other agreements and documents as Seller may reasonably require in connection with any Invasive Testing; (C) Buyer first delivers to Seller at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice of each entry that will involve any Invasive Testing; and (D) each Invasive Test is made strictly in accordance with the terms the consent and any plans approved by, and/or agreements with, Seller.

The representations and warranties in Section 15 shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year. No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable if Buyer had actual knowledge (or had information provided by its representatives and consultants) of the breach in question prior to Closing and Buyer had the right to terminate this Agreement as a result thereof pursuant to the terms hereof, and Buyer nevertheless proceeds to Closing. After the Closing, other than in the case of Seller fraud, Seller shall have no liability to Buyer for a breach of any representation or warranty (i) unless the valid claims for all such breaches collectively aggregate more than Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), in which event the full amount of such valid claims shall be actionable with respect to actual damages (but in no event any punitive, consequential, or special damages) up to a limit of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000), and (ii) unless written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Buyer to Seller prior to the expiration of the applicable period specified in the first sentence of this paragraph and an action shall have been commenced by Buyer against Seller within sixty (60) days after expiration of such applicable period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer’s claims hereunder shall exceed the sum of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000), then Seller shall be liable to Buyer hereunder for Buyer’s losses starting with “dollar one” (as opposed to simply the losses exceeding Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000)).

16. Buyer’s Representations, Warranties and Release of Claims. Buyer hereby warrants and represents to Seller, as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

 

-12-


(a) The execution, delivery and performance by Buyer of its obligations under this Agreement will not conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any of the provisions of any law, governmental rule, regulations, judgment, decree or order by which the Buyer is bound, or by any of the provisions of any contract to which the Buyer is bound, or by the organic agreements establishing and regulating the buyer’s business affairs, and the Buyer has full power and authority to enter into and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all consents and approvals necessary therefor have been obtained.

(b) There is no action, suit, arbitration, unsatisfied order or judgment, government investigation or proceeding pending or to the best of Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer which, if adversely determined, could individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

(c) There are no general assignments for the benefit of creditors, or voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy, existing, pending or, to the best of Buyer’s knowledge, threatened against Buyer.

(d) Buyer acknowledges that as of the Satisfaction Date it will have had an adequate opportunity to inspect the Property and to investigate its physical characteristics and conditions. Upon the Satisfaction Date, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any and all objections to the Property, if Buyer has delivered to Seller the notice of satisfaction of the Conditions as provided in Section 4(a). Other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement and/or in the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement as of the Closing, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) Buyer is acquiring the Property in its “AS IS” condition, WITH ALL FAULTS, IF ANY, AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, and (ii) neither Seller nor any agents, representatives, trustees, beneficiaries or employees of Seller have made any representations or warranties, direct or indirect, oral or written, express or implied, to Buyer or Buyer’s officers, directors, shareholders, representatives, partners, affiliated entities, employees or agents (collectively, “Buyer’s Agents”) with respect to the condition of the Property, its fitness for any particular purpose, or its compliance with any laws, and Buyer is not aware of and does not rely upon any such representation. Buyer acknowledges that the due diligence period will have afforded Buyer the opportunity to make such inspections (or have such inspections made by consultants) as it desires of the Property and all factors relevant to its use, including, without limitation, the interior, exterior, and structure of any improvements on the Property, the condition of soils and subsurfaces, and the status of all zoning, permitting and other entitlements relevant to the use or contemplated use of the Property. Buyer acknowledges that during the due diligence period, Buyer and Buyer’s agents will independently and with the assistance of its professional advisors and consultants undertake whatever studies, tests and investigation Buyer desires to conduct relating to the Property (including, without limitation, economic reviews, soils tests, engineering analyses, pest and mold inspections, environmental analyses and analyses of the records of any governmental or quasi-governmental entity having jurisdiction over the Property). Subject to the express representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as set forth in this Agreement and/or in the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement as of the Closing, Buyer has entered into this Agreement based upon the opportunity to conduct such inspections. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein and/or in the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement as of the Closing, Buyer is relying

 

-13-


solely on its own investigation as to the Property and its value and is assuming the risk that adverse physical, economic or other conditions (including, without limitation, adverse environmental conditions, mold, dry rot, termite infestation, asbestos-containing materials in the Improvements, and the status of compliance with the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990) may not have been revealed by such investigation. Buyer acknowledges that if Buyer elects prior to the Due Diligence Date to continue this Agreement, Buyer agrees to purchase the Property without regard to any such condition, subject to the express representations, warranties and covenants of Seller as set forth in this Agreement and/or in the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement as of the Closing.

(e) Except for (1) Seller’s breach of its covenants, representations or warranties in this Agreement and/or in any of the documents to be executed and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement as of the Closing, and (2) Seller’s fraud, Buyer, on behalf of itself and Buyer’s Agents and successors and assigns to this Agreement (collectively, the “Releasors”), hereby completely releases and forever discharges Seller and Seller’s officers, board members, partners, affiliates, employees, successors, assigns, heirs, agents, and representatives from and against all claims, liabilities, demands, judgments, damages, losses and costs (collectively, “Claims”) whether known or unknown which may arise from or be related to the following (collectively, the “Released Matters”): (i) the physical condition, quality, quantity, and state of repair of the Property and the prior operation of the Property, (ii) the Property’s compliance or lack of compliance with any federal, state or local laws or regulations, (iii) any latent or patent defect affecting the Property, and (iv) any past, present or future presence or existence of hazardous substances on, under or about the Property or with respect to any past, present or future violation of any Environmental Laws. In connection with such waiver and relinquishment, Buyer acknowledges that it is aware that it hereafter may discover Claims or facts in addition to or different from those which it now knows or believes to exist with respect to the Released Matters, but that it is its intention to fully, finally and forever to settle and release all of the Released Matters on behalf of the Releasors in accordance with the provisions of this Section 16(e), and the release set forth herein shall be and remain in effect as a full and complete release notwithstanding the discovery or existence of any such additional or different Claims or facts. The foregoing release of Claims shall be binding on Releasors. In connection with the release provided in this Section 16, Buyer expressly waives the benefits of Section 1542 of the California Civil Code 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 TO HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.”

Buyer’s Initials                     

References to the “best of Buyer’s knowledge” shall refer only to the actual, present knowledge of David Thomas (the “Buyer’s Knowledge Party”), as of the Effective Date and as of the Closing Date, without any duty of inquiry or investigation. Buyer and Seller acknowledge

 

-14-


that the Buyer’s Knowledge Party shall have no personal liability for the representations and warranties made in this Section 16 or elsewhere in this Agreement.

The representations and warranties in Section 16 shall survive the Closing Date for a period of one (1) year.

17. Default and Remedies.

(a) Except for the Parties obligations under Section 11 which must be performed prior to the Closing, in the event of any default, the non-defaulting Party shall give the defaulting Party written notice of the occurrence of such default (a “Default Notice”) and the defaulting Party shall have ten (10) days following its receipt of such Default Notice in which to cure such default hereunder.

(b) IN THE EVENT THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER IS NOT CONSUMMATED DUE TO A DEFAULT OF BUYER AFTER THE SATISFACTION DATE, THE EARNEST MONEY (TO THE EXTENT PREVIOUSLY PAID BY BUYER TO ESCROW HOLDER, INCLUDING ALL INTEREST EARNED FROM THE INVESTMENT THEREOF) SHALL BE RELEASED TO SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT THAT THE SALE IS NOT CONSUMMATED WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY SEPARATELY EXECUTING THIS SECTION 17(a) BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE EARNEST MONEY MADE BY BUYER ON OR BEFORE THE DATE OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HAS BEEN AGREED UPON, AFTER NEGOTIATION, AS THE PARTIES’ REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER’S DAMAGES, AND AS SELLER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT HEREUNDER AND THAT IF THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR AS A RESULT THEREOF, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER ARISING FROM SUCH FAILURE OF THE SALE TO CLOSE DUE TO DEFAULT BY BUYER (SELLER HEREBY WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO SEEK DAMAGES, TO SUE FOR SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OR PURSUE ANY OTHER REMEDIES HEREUNDER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 17(b) BELOW). BY THEIR SEPARATELY EXECUTING THIS SECTION 17(b) BELOW, BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE ABOVE PROVISION COVERING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND THAT EACH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL WHO EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVISION AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS EXECUTED. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES ANY AND ALL BENEFITS IT MAY HAVE UNDER CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, OR ANY OTHER PROVISION TO THE CONTRARY, THIS SECTION 17(b) SHALL IN NO WAY LIMIT OR RESTRICT SELLER’S RECOVERY UNDER SECTION 4(c), SECTION 19, SECTION 20, or SECTION 23 HEREOF.

BUYER:                                 SELLER:                     

 

-15-


(c) In the event that the Closing does not occur as a result of a breach of any of Seller’s covenants, representations, warranties or other obligations under this Agreement, then Buyer shall have as its sole and exclusive remedy the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement and to receive a return of the Earnest Money together with an additional sum from Seller equal to Buyer’s actual, documented a out-of-pocket third party costs and expenses in connection with this transaction but in no event in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), or (ii) seek the remedy of specific performance to enforce Seller’s obligation to convey title to the Property to Buyer in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If Buyer elects remedy (i) in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall direct Title Company to record or release to Seller the quitclaim deed described in Section 18, below.

(d) Notwithstanding Section 17(b) and Section 17(c) hereof, in no event shall such provisions limit the damages recoverable by either Party against the other Party due to the other Party’s obligation to indemnify such Party in accordance with this Agreement.

18. Memorandum of Agreement. Promptly upon Buyer’s request, the Seller agrees to execute a Memorandum of this Agreement, in recordable form, and substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D; provided that Buyer delivers to the Title Company to be held in escrow an executed and notarized quitclaim deed to Seller terminating its rights under the Memorandum of this Agreement. Title Company shall be permitted to record, or release such quitclaim deed to Seller for recording, against the Property if this Agreement is terminated for any reason except Seller’s default, as set forth in Section 17(c), above. Buyer shall have the right to cause Title Company to record such Memorandum at Buyer’s expense, including transfer or recording taxes, if any. Seller also agrees to execute such transfer tax declarations or similar documentation as may be required to facilitate such recording.

19. Use of Brokers. Seller and Buyer hereby warrant that neither Party has an obligation to pay an outside brokerage commission for the sale of the Property. Buyer and Seller hereby agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other Party from and against any liability, cost or expense, plus all costs of collection, including litigation expenses and attorneys’ fees, as a result of a claim for a commission, fee or other compensation made by any real estate broker, finder or other person and asserted against the other Party by reason of an arrangement made or alleged to have been made by the indemnifying Party.

20. Attorneys’ Fees. In the event that either Party shall bring an action or legal proceeding for an alleged breach of any provision of this Agreement or any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement herein set forth, or to enforce, protect, determine or establish any term, covenant or provision of this Agreement or the rights hereunder of either Party, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing Party, as a part of such action or proceedings, or in a separate action brought for that purpose, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, expert witness fees and court costs as may be fixed by the court or jury.

21. Binding Effect. This Agreement is executed by Buyer and submitted to Seller as an offer to purchase the Property. If: (i) Seller does not execute and deliver this Agreement, without revision, to Buyer within five (5) business days after the date of Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, Buyer’s offer shall terminate and expire; or (ii) in the event Buyer delivers written

 

-16-


notice to Seller within such period, revoking its offer to purchase; in either event, Buyer shall have no further liability or obligation hereunder.

22. Confidentiality. The terms of this Agreement, the results of any tests and inspections performed by or on behalf of Buyer, and any information provided or made available by Seller pursuant to Section 7, above, shall be kept and maintained confidential and shall not be disclosed by either Party to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party. This provision shall not prohibit disclosures on a “need to know” basis to employees, agents, attorneys, brokers, surveyors, title companies, engineers, contractors, lenders, etc., as necessary to obtain financing or governmental permits and approvals, to potential tenants, or as compelled by legal process or required by law. This provision shall survive any termination of this Agreement, but shall not survive the close of escrow. Seller’s additional non-circumvention obligation is set forth in Section 25, below.

23. Section 1031 Exchange. In the event that either Party elects to structure this transaction as a like-kind exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code, the other Party shall reasonably cooperate upon the request of the electing Party, including prompt execution of such documents as may reasonably be required to effectuate such exchange, provided that: (a) the electing Party shall bear all costs in connection with such exchange and shall indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any cost, claims, expenses or liabilities (including attorney’s fees) incurred by the other Party solely as a result of structuring the transaction as a like-kind exchange; and (b) the exchange shall have no material effect on the terms of either Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller agrees that Buyer may assign its rights in this Agreement to a third party as part of any such exchange. Nothing contained herein shall prevent both Parties from electing a like-kind exchange.

24. Force Majeure. Except with regard to the payment of money due, if either Party hereto shall be delayed, hindered in, or prevented from the performance of its obligations hereunder by reason of any occurrence which is not within the reasonable anticipation or control of such Party, including but not limited to strikes, lockouts, labor troubles, governmental action or inaction, failure of power, riots, insurrection, war, acts of God, or other similar reason, and which occurrence, in any event, is not a result of the intentional act, negligence or willful misconduct of such Party (a “Force Majeure Event”), such Party’s performance shall be excused for the period of time equivalent to the delay caused by such Force Majeure Event, provided such Party gives prompt notice to the other Party of such delay.

25. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(a) This Agreement shall be interpreted and enforced according to the laws of the State of California, without reference to its conflict of laws rules. The venue of any litigation arising out of this Agreement shall lie exclusively with the state or federal court in whose district the Property is located.

(b) All headings and section designations of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and do not form a part of this Agreement or limit, expand or otherwise alter the meaning of any provisions hereof.

 

-17-


(c) This Agreement, and any amendments hereto, may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. The Parties agree that, except for notices (which are governed by Section 14, above), signatures transmitted by facsimile or scanned and emailed shall have the legal effect of original signatures. At the request of either Party, the Parties shall promptly exchange executed original counterparts of this Agreement or any amendment.

(d) The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns, and none of the provisions of this Agreement are intended to be, nor shall they be construed to be, for the benefit of any third party.

(e) If, under any provision of this Agreement: (i) the date any act to be done or action to be taken; or (ii) the last day of any time period, including any notice period; falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in the state whose law governs this Agreement, then such act or action shall be deemed to have been validly done or taken on, or such time period shall be deemed extended to, the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, and all succeeding time periods shall be deemed extended accordingly. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, all references herein to a “day” or “days” shall refer to calendar days.

(f) Buyer may assign this Agreement and all of its interests herein to an entity related to Buyer or affiliated with Buyer. Upon any assignment, the assignee shall have and be subject to all the rights, benefits, duties and obligations of Buyer hereunder, but the Buyer shall not be released from any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(g) This Agreement represents the entire agreement between Seller and Buyer covering everything agreed upon or understood in this transaction. There are no oral promises, conditions, representations, understandings, interpretations or terms of any kind as conditions or inducements to the execution hereof or in effect between the Parties. No change or addition shall be made to this Agreement except by a written agreement duly executed by Seller and Buyer.

(h) The Parties acknowledge that each has been represented by, or has had the opportunity to consult with, legal counsel of its own choosing in this matter, and this Agreement has been arrived at through arms’ length negotiation. For purposes of the rule of contract interpretation that construes a document against its drafter, the Parties agree that neither Party nor its counsel shall be considered the drafter hereof.

(i) If any term, covenant or condition of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be construed in accordance with its intent as if such invalid or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.

(j) No failure by either Party, at any time, to require the performance by the other of any term of this Agreement, shall in any way affect the right of either Party to enforce such terms, nor shall any waiver by either Party of any term hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any other provision of this Agreement. No waiver of any term or provision of this

 

-18-


Agreement shall be effective unless the same is in writing and signed by the Party granting such waiver.

(k) Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that, subject to any provisions hereof to the contrary, it is a legal entity duly organized, existing in good standing and qualified to do business in the State of California. At the time of Closing, Buyer or its assignee shall be an entity duly organized, existing in good standing and qualified to do business in the state where the Property is located. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that: it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; and the person executing this Agreement on its behalf has been duly authorized and is empowered to bind it to this Agreement.

(l) Seller represents and warrants to Buyer that: subject to any provisions hereof to the contrary, it is a legal entity duly organized and existing in good standing, and is qualified to do business in the state where the Property is located; it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to assume and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement; and the person executing this Agreement on its behalf has been duly authorized and is empowered to bind it to this Agreement. If any Seller is an individual, that Party represents and warrants that he or she shall take such steps as are necessary to convey his or her interest in the Property free and clear of all marital or homestead rights of his or her spouse.

(m) The parties to this Agreement shall in good faith undertake to perform their respective obligations under this Agreement, to satisfy all conditions for which they are responsible, and to cause the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to be carried out in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. In that regard, the Parties agree to promptly execute such other documents and to perform such other acts as may be reasonably necessary to carry out the purpose and intent of this Agreement. Concerning all matters in this Agreement requiring the consent or approval of either Party, the Parties agree that any such consent or approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement.

(n) All Exhibits to this Agreement are incorporated herein as though fully set forth.

(o) Buyer acknowledges that the Disclosure Statutes (hereinafter defined) require that a seller of real property in California must make certain disclosures regarding certain natural hazards potentially affecting the property, as more particularly provided therein. As used in this Agreement, “Disclosure Statutes” means, collectively, California Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4 and 51183.5, California Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694 and 4136 and any other California statutes that require Seller to make disclosures concerning the Property. Seller will deliver to Buyer a Natural Hazard Disclosure Report for the Property in accordance with the foregoing statutes (the “Report”). Buyer hereby agrees as follows with respect to the Disclosure Statutes and the Report: (i) that the delivery of the Report to Buyer as provided above shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations and requirements of Seller under the Disclosure Statutes; (ii) that Seller shall not be liable for any error or inaccuracy in, or omission from, the information in the Report; (iii) that the Report was provided by Seller for purposes of complying with the Disclosure Statutes and shall not be deemed to constitute a representation or

 

-19-


warranty by Seller as to the presence or absence in, at or around the Property of the conditions that are the subject of the Disclosure Statutes; and (iv) the Report is for Seller and Buyer only and is not for the benefit of, or to be used for any purpose by, any other party, including, without limitation, insurance companies, lenders, or governmental agencies.

(p) Following the Closing Date and in connection with Buyer’s negotiation of a lease with a major tenant of all or a portion of the Property, Buyer may elect to modify the off-ramp and change the street name from Zhone Way. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to so modify the off-ramp and change the street name from Zhone Way. Seller’s obligations set forth in this section shall survive the close of escrow and shall not be merged with the recordation of the grant deed.

Property Address: 6775, 7195 and 7001 Oakport Street, Oakland, Alameda County, California,

Deposit Amount: $1,000,000.00

LBA RIV-COMPANY V, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), and ZHONE TECHNOLOGIES CAMPUS, LLC, a California limited liability company (the “Seller”), are parties to that certain Real Estate Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of             , 2010, with respect to the above referenced property (the “Property”), which is more particularly described in the Agreement. The Buyer has deposited the sum of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) (the “Deposit”) with First American Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) to be held under the terms of the Agreement and the terms of this Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”). Prior to the Satisfaction Date (as defined in the Agreement), or if the Satisfaction Date has not occurred by the Due Diligence Date (as defined in the Agreement), the Deposit shall be refunded by the Title Company to the Buyer upon receipt of a written request from the Buyer, together with evidence that the Buyer has given the Seller written notice of termination in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, or that the Due Diligence Date has occurred. Following the Satisfaction Date (or following the Due Diligence Date, if the Title Company has not received any written request from the Buyer as set forth above), the Earnest Money (as defined in the Agreement) shall be held in escrow by the Title Company and delivered only upon the joint written order of the Buyer and Seller or their respective legal representatives or assigns, except as otherwise specifically provided herein; and the Buyer and Seller each agree to give such written orders to the Title Company in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

Following the Satisfaction Date, the Title Company is hereby expressly authorized to disregard, in its sole discretion, any and all unilateral notices or warnings given by any of the parties hereto, or by any other person or corporation, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, but Title Company is hereby expressly authorized to regard and to comply with and obey any and all orders, judgments or decrees entered or issued by any court with or without jurisdiction, and in case Title Company obeys or complies with any such order, judgment or decree of any court it shall not be liable to any of the parties hereto or any other person, firm or corporation by reason of such compliance, notwithstanding any such order, judgment or decree being entered without jurisdiction or being subsequently reversed, modified, annulled, set aside or vacated. In case of any suit or proceeding regarding this escrow, to which Title Company is or may at any time become a party, it shall have a lien on the contents hereof for any and all costs, attorneys’ fees, whether such attorneys shall be regularly retained or specially employed, and any other expenses which it may have incurred or become liable for on account thereof, and it shall be entitled to reimburse itself therefor out of said deposit, and the undersigned jointly and severally agree to pay Title Company upon demand all such costs, fees and expenses so incurred.

 

EXHIBIT B

Except as expressly provided herein, in no case shall the above mentioned deposits be surrendered except on an order signed by the parties hereto, their respective legal representatives or assigns, or in obedience of the process or order of court as aforesaid.

Unless directed otherwise in writing by Buyer, all deposits made pursuant to this Escrow Agreement shall be invested on behalf of the Buyer in investments limited to interest-bearing, federally-insured instruments with a national bank or federal savings bank or in a money market fund authorized to invest solely in direct obligations of the United States of America (“Qualified Investments”). The funds invested in this manner shall have a maturity of 30 days or less. Interest and other earnings on any funds invested hereunder shall be added to the funds held on deposit by Title Company hereunder, and losses, if any, incurred from any such investment shall reduce the balance of the funds on deposits hereunder. Buyer shall provide Title Company with its taxpayer identification number and such investment forms as it may reasonably require. Title Company shall, upon request furnish information concerning its procedures for such investment, but shall not charge or otherwise assess any additional fees for the investment of such funds.

Billing Instructions: Escrow fee in the amount of $0.00 will be billed as follows: Half to Seller and half to Buyer. NOTE – ESCROW FEES WAIVED IN ANTICIPATION THAT THE TITLE COMPANY WILL BE PROVIDING TITLE INSURANCE UNDERWRITING SERVICES IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT FOR WHICH IT WILL BE COMPENSATED AT CLOSING.

Except as to deposits of funds for which Title Company has received express written direction concerning investment to other handling, the parties hereto agree that the Title Company shall be under no duty to invest or reinvest any deposits at any time held by it thereunder; and, further that Title Company may commingle such deposits with other deposits or with its own funds in the manner provided for the administration of funds held as a fiduciary under applicable law, provided, however, nothing herein shall diminish Title Company’s obligation to apply the full amount of the deposits in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

In the event the Title Company is requested to invest deposits hereunder in Qualified Investments pursuant to this agreement, Title Company shall not be held responsible for any loss of principal or interest which may be incurred as a result of making the investments or redeeming said investment for the purposes of these escrow instructions except to the extent that Title Company negligently or willfully fails to follow such investment directions.

This Escrow Agreement is intended to be executed in triplicate, but may be executed in multiple counterparts. Each such counterpart shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document. The parties agree that, except for notice purposes, signatures transmitted by facsimile or scanned and e-mailed shall have the legal effect of original signatures. Upon the request of any party, the parties shall promptly exchange executed original counterparts of this Escrow Agreement.
