information, and certified by the Escrow Holder as being a true and complete copies recorded in
the Official Records;
A copy of the fully executed Non - Foreign Status Certificate and Form 593 -C;
The original Title Policy; and
A copy of all other documents deposited into Escrow.

Section 6045 of Title 26 of the United States Code and Treasury Regulation 1.6045 -4 and any
instructions or settlement statement prepared by Escrow Holder shall so provide. Upon the
consummation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, Escrow Holder shall be
directed to file a Form 1099 information return and send the statement to Seller as required
under the aforementioned statute and regulation.
Condemnation. If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date any condemnation
or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which would result in the taking of any portion of
the Property, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller. Seller shall
promptly notify Buyer in writing upon receiving written notice of the commencement or
occurrence of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings affecting the Property. If such
proceedings are initiated for the taking of any part of the Property, Buyer shall then notify Seller,
within ten (10) business days after Buyer's receipt of Seller's notice (provided that the Closing
Date shall be extended to the extent necessary to accommodate such period), whether or not
Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects not to terminate this Agreement or
fails to make an election within such ten (10) business day period, whichever is earlier, then Buyer
shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with the Closing without any reduction to the
Purchase Price, in which event Seller shall assign to Buyer at Closing all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings, or if such payment has been received by Seller such payment shall be credited to
Buyer at the Closing, and Closing shall be delayed, if necessary, until the later to occur of (i) the
Closing Date, or (ii) ten (10) days after the expiration of the ten (10) business day period. If this
Agreement is terminated in accordance with this Section 12, then the Deposit shall be released
to Buyer, and Seller and Buyer shall thereupon be released from all further obligations under this
Agreement other than the Surviving Obligations.
Risk of Loss. If prior to the Closing, the Property is materially damaged or destroyed, Buyer has
the right, exercisable by giving written notice to Seller within ten (10) business days after
receiving written notice of such damage or destruction (but in any event no later than the Closing
Date), either (A) to terminate this Agreement, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to
Buyer, and any other money or documents in escrow shall be returned to the party depositing
13 of 27
Resolution 2018 -052 November 6, 2018
the same, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Agreement
other than the Surviving Obligations, or (B) to accept the Property in its then condition and to
proceed with the Closing and all of Seller's right to insurance proceeds shall be transferred and
assigned to Buyer at the Closing, and Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in the
amount of any insurance deductible and other insurance shortfall as reasonably estimated by
Buyer. A failure by Buyer to notify Seller in writing within such ten (10) business day period or
the Closing Date, whichever is earlier, will be deemed an election to proceed under clause (B)
above. If Buyer elects (or is deemed to elect) to proceed under clause (B) above, then thereafter,
Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such insurance proceeds without
Buyer's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Default.
(a) DEFAULT BY BUYER; LIQUIDATED DAMAGES.
IF CLOSING FAILS TO OCCUR SOLELY BECAUSE OF BUYER'S DEFAULT UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL, AT ITS ELECTION, HAVE THE OPTION TO TERMINATE THIS
AGREEMENT IN WHICH CASE SELLER AND BUYER SHALL THEREUPON BE RELEASED FROM THEIR
RESPECTIVE OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER (OTHER THAN THE SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS), AND AS
LIQUIDATED DAMAGES HEREUNDER, THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER.
THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY
BUYER WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT OR IMPRACTICABLE TO DETERMINE. THEREFORE, BY
PLACING THEIR SIGNATURES OR INITIALS BELOW, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE
AMOUNT DESIGNATED AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IN THIS SECTION 14(a) HAS BEEN AGREED
UPON AFTER NEGOTIATION AS REASONABLE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PURSUANT TO THE TERMS
HEREOF, CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671 AND 1677 AND ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW,
AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT AND RETENTION OF LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AS A
RESULT THEREOF SHALL CONSTITUTE SELLER'S ONLY AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST BUYER
IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT ON THE PART OF BUYER. THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS
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. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14(a) SHALL SURVIVE THE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA
CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389 WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS
TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE
WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
SELLER'S INITIALS: BUYER'S INITIALS:
NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL THIS SECTION 14 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.

Resolution 2018 -052 November 6, 2018
(b) Default by Seller.
If the Closing fails to occur due to Seller's default in the performance of its obligations
hereunder or is otherwise in breach of the terms hereof, Buyer shall, at its election, have the
right to: (1) specific performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement, and Seller agrees
that, because of the unique nature of the Property, specific performance is an appropriate
remedy for enforcement of Seller's obligations under this Agreement; (ii) terminate this
Agreement, upon which termination Buyer's remedy shall be the return of the Deposit and
recovery of all out of pocket expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement and
Buyer's due diligence investigations relating to the Property, and all other rights available to
Buyer by law or in equity. The provisions of this Section 14(b) shall survive the Close of Escrow or
the termination of this Agreement.

California Public Records Act. All documents and records provided to or made available to Buyer
under this Agreement become the property of the Buyer, which is a public agency subject to the
disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act ( "CPRA "). If proprietary information
is contained in documents submitted by Seller or Seller's Representatives to Buyer, and Seller
expressly claims that such information falls within one or more CPRA exemptions, Seller must
clearly mark such information "CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY," and identify the specific lines
containing the confidential information. In the event of a request for such information, the Buyer
will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to Seller prior to such disclosure. If Seller contends
that any documents are exempt from the CPRA and wishes to prevent disclosure, it is required
at its own cost, liability and expense to obtain a protective order, injunctive relief or other
appropriate remedy from a court of law in Santa Clara County at least two (2) days before Buyer's
deadline to respond to the CPRA request. If Seller fails to obtain such a remedy before the Buyer
responds to the CPRA request, Buyer will disclose the requested information and shall not be
liable or responsible for such disclosure. Seller represents, warrants and agrees that it shall
defend, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless for, from and against any and all Claims that may or
do result from denial by Buyer of a CPRA request for any information arising from any
representation, or any action (or inaction), by Seller or Seller's Representatives.

the Property prior to the Closing, Seller shall be solely liable and responsible for all tenant
relocation costs, expenses, fees and notice obligations and responsibilities. If, pursuant to
applicable law or by other agreement or condition, Buyer is in any way responsible for paying for
relocation assistance, or providing notice or payment of any kind, or paying for fees or expenses,
19 of 27
Resolution 2018 -052 November 6, 2018
then Seller acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall timely make all such payments and provide
all such notices as a condition of Closing or, alternatively (at Buyer's sole election) reimburse
Buyer for all such payments as a condition of Closing or such other later date as Buyer solely
determines. It is understood by the parties that this Agreement does not create any third- party
rights including relocation benefits, assistance, damages (liquidated or otherwise), costs, claims
or fees, except as otherwise expressly stated herein. Seller acknowledges, covenants and agrees
to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its officers, elected and appointed officials,
employees and agents from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses, fines,
penalties, judgments, demands and defense costs (including, without limitation, actual, direct,
out -of- pocket costs and expenses and amounts paid in compromise or settlement and
reasonable outside legal fees arising from litigation of every nature or liability of any kind or
nature including civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) arising out of or in connection with
any of the following: (i) any obligation or responsibility of Seller or Buyer to pay for or provide
relocation assistance, notice, benefits, payments or other relocation needs of any current or
former tenant or tenants of Seller or any of the Seller's Representatives; (ii) Seller's failure to
comply with any affordable housing laws; and /or (iii) any claim or allegation relating to relocation
assistance, notice or relocation benefits. Seller will conduct all defenses at its sole cost and
expense, subject only to Buyer's reasonable approval selection of legal counsel. This indemnity
shall apply to all claims and liability regardless of whether any insurance policies of Seller, its
affiliates or any other parties are applicable thereto. The policy limits of any insurance of Seller,
its affiliates or other parties are not a limitation upon the obligation of Seller including without
limitation that amount of indemnification to be provided by Seller. This paragraph shall survive
the Closing or any earlier termination thereof.
Survival. Paragraphs 14 through and including 40 shall survive the Closing or earlier termination
of this Agreement.
