The term of the Option ends on or before the earlier of the following: (i) ten days following Trumark’s receipt of tentative map approval by the City of Sunnyvale; (ii150 days following the City of Sunnyvale’s approval of a general plan amendment that would permit residential use of the Property, subject to certain conditions; or (iii) 17 months following the date that is 75 days after the date the Agreement was signed. Trumark has the right to exercise the Option at any time during the term of the Option by delivering to Spansion written notice. Upon such exercise, the provisions of the Agreement pertaining to the sale of the Property by Spansion to Trumark shall apply.

The purchase price for the Property shall be $68.0 million. In addition, the Agreement provides for Trumark to make certain additional payments to Spansion if during certain periods following the closing of the sale of the Property Trumark subsequently sells the SDC or the Pacific Gas & Electric transmission facility. The Agreement also provides that Trumark shall enter into a lease with Spansion following the closing of the sale of the Property to provide time for Spansion to transition to other facilities.
