(d) the rental, use, and occupancy agreements and leases, subleases, and licenses of space concerning or relating to the Improvements located on Parcel 2, together with all rents and other monetary charges paid by tenants, licensees or other occupants under such documents and agreements, subject to prorations and adjustments as herein provided, and all security and or rental deposits in Seller’s possession thereto in effect as of the Closing (the “Leases”); and

ARTICLE II

 

TITLE AND SURVEY

 

2.1 Title Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance. Seller shall obtain from the Title Company and deliver, to Purchaser, within five (5) business days after the Effective Date, a current preliminary title insurance report (the “Title Commitment”) covering the Real Property, together with copies of the recorded exception documents identified therein.

2.2 Survey. Seller has delivered or shall deliver to Purchaser and the Title Company, within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Seller’s most current as-built survey of the Real Property (the “Survey”). Purchaser may, at its sole cost and expense, update and/or recertify the Survey to the extent required by the Title Company to issue the Title Policy.

 

2.3 Title Objections; Cure of Title Objections.

 

(a) Purchaser shall have until the date (the “Title Exam Deadline”) which is five (5) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period to review the Title Commitment and the Survey and to notify Seller, in writing, of such objections within Purchaser’s sole and subjective discretion as Purchaser may have to any matter disclosed in the Title Commitment or the Survey. Any item contained in the Title Commitment or any matter shown on the Survey to which Purchaser does not object in writing prior to the Title Exam Deadline shall be deemed accepted by Purchaser and shall be a Permitted Exception under this Agreement.

 

(b) In the event Purchaser shall notify Seller of objections to title or to matters shown on the Survey prior to the Title Exam Deadline, Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such objections. Within three (3) business days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections (the “Seller’s Title Objection Response Deadline”), Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing whether Seller elects to attempt to cure such objections. Seller’s failure to respond prior to the expiration of Seller’s Title Objection Response Deadline shall be deemed to be Seller’s election not to cure any such objections. If Seller elects to attempt to cure, and provided that Purchaser shall not have terminated this Agreement in accordance with Section 3.3 hereof, Seller shall have until the date of Closing to attempt to remove, satisfy or cure the same and for this purpose. If Seller elects not to cure (or is deemed to have elected not to cure) any objections specified in Purchaser’s notice, or if Seller is unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing, Seller shall deliver notice to Purchaser stating the same (“Seller’s No Cure Notice”), then prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall have the following options: (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions, specifically including any matter objected to by Purchaser which Seller is unwilling or unable to cure, and without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice thereof to Seller, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this Agreement shall terminate and the entirety of the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except to the extent that any right, obligation or liability set forth herein expressly survives termination of this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to respond within the period described in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed to be Purchaser’s election to accept the conveyance under clause (i) above.

 

(c) If at the time of expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller has agreed to attempt to cure or remedy Purchaser’s title objections, should Seller fail to cure or remedy said Purchaser’s title objections prior to Closing, Purchaser shall retain the right to terminate this Agreement as if such termination was effected prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, in which case Purchaser shall receive and the Title Company shall disburse to Purchaser the entirety of the Initial Deposit to Purchaser.

2.4 Conveyance of Title. At Closing, Seller shall convey and transfer to Purchaser such title to the Property as will enable the Title Company to issue to Purchaser a standard coverage owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Policy”) covering the Real Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the “Permitted Exceptions” (as hereinafter defined).

(a) the rights of tenants under the Leases;

 

(b) the lien of all ad valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet delinquent as of the date of Closing, subject to adjustment and prorations as herein provided;

2.5 Pre-Closing “Gap” Title Defects. Whether or not Purchaser shall have furnished to Seller any notice of title objections pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Agreement, Purchaser may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s objections to any new title exceptions that would have an adverse effect on the Property (the “New Objections”) and were first raised between (a) the expiration of the Inspection Period, and (b) the date on which the transaction contemplated herein is scheduled to close, or as extended pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof. With respect to any New Objections set forth in such notice under this Section 2.5, Seller and Purchaser shall be subject to the same terms, rights and obligations under Section 2.3(b), as if such New Objections appeared on title prior to the expiration of the Title Exam Deadline.

3.1 Right of Inspection. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. (local time at the Property) thirty (30) days thereafter (the “Inspection Period”), Purchaser and its respective representatives, agents and consultants (collectively the “Purchaser’s Representatives”) shall have the right to make a physical inspection of the Property, subject to the terms herein. Any on-site inspections of the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives shall be conducted in the presence of Seller or its representative upon at least one (1) business day’s prior written notice to Seller (which may be provided by email to Kimberly Kanen (kkanen@buchananstreet.com)). Such physical inspection shall not unreasonably interfere with the use of the Property by Seller or its tenants nor shall Purchaser’s inspection damage the Property in any respect. Such physical inspection shall not be invasive in any respect (unless Purchaser obtains Seller’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion), and in any event shall be conducted in accordance with all governmental laws, rules and regulations. Following each entry by Purchaser with respect to inspections and/or tests on the Property, Purchaser shall restore the Property at its sole cost and expense to a condition which is as near as possible to its original condition as existed prior to any such inspections and/or tests. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Purchaser in its due diligence, including but not limited to, access to the Property for physical inspection, but shall not be obligated to incur any liability or expense in connection therewith. Purchaser shall not contact any tenants, guests or other occupants of the Property without obtaining Seller’s prior written consent, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, or with respect to tenants after the expiration of the Inspection Period, in Seller’s reasonable discretion. Purchaser agrees to indemnify against and hold Seller harmless from any claim for liabilities, actual, out-of-pocket costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred), damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection of the Property by Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives; provided that the foregoing indemnity shall not relate to any liability, cost, loss, damage or expense to the extent attributable to (i) Purchaser’s mere discovery of conditions in existence on or about the Property on the Effective Date provided Purchaser or Purchaser’s Representatives do not exacerbate such conditions or (ii) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of Seller or any of Seller’s agents, contractors, or employees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such obligation to indemnify and hold harmless Seller shall survive for one (1) year from the earlier of (x) Closing or (y) any termination of this Agreement. All inspections shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon by Seller and Purchaser. Prior to Purchaser or any of Purchaser’s Representatives entering the Property, Purchaser shall obtain and maintain (and shall cause any of Purchaser’s Representatives to obtain and maintain), at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, and shall deliver to Seller evidence of, the Insurance Requirements (as defined herein). The term “Insurance Requirements” shall mean the following insurance coverage: general liability insurance, from an insurer reasonably acceptable to Seller and Seller hereby approves AIG, in the amount of Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) combined single limit for personal injury and property damage per occurrence, such policy to name Seller as an additional insured party, which insurance shall provide coverage against any claim for personal liability or property damage caused by the insured in connection with such inspections and/or tests.

3.2 Seller Deliveries.  To the extent not provided to Purchaser prior to the execution of this Agreement, within five (5) business days of the execution of this Agreement, Seller, or Seller’s property manager, shall provide to Purchaser, for Purchaser’s review, copies of the documents and information set forth on Exhibit H attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference (together with all other written information delivered by Seller to Purchaser not later than two (2) business days prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, collectively, the “Due Diligence Items”), if and to the extent within Seller’s possession. Except as expressly set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, Seller makes no representations or warranties of any kind regarding the accuracy, thoroughness or completeness of or conclusions drawn in the information contained in such documents, if any, relating to the Property.  Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section 5.1 hereof, Purchaser hereby waives any and all claims against Seller arising out of the accuracy, completeness, conclusions or statements expressed in materials so furnished and any and all claims arising out of any duty of Seller to acquire, seek or obtain such materials. Notwithstanding anything contained in the first sentence of this paragraph, Seller shall not deliver or make available to Purchaser any Excluded Documents (as defined in Exhibit H).  Purchaser acknowledges that any and all of the Due Diligence Items that are not otherwise known by or available to the public are proprietary and confidential in nature and will be delivered to Purchaser solely to assist Purchaser in determining the feasibility of purchasing the Property. The terms and provisions of this Section shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year.

 

3.3 Right of Termination. If Purchaser determines (such determination to be made in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion for any reason or no reason) that the Property is not suitable for its purposes, then Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser gives such notice of termination to Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then this Agreement shall terminate, the Initial Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and no party shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except for obligations hereunder which are expressly stated to survive a termination of this Agreement. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions of this Section 3.3. Except as otherwise specifically provided to the contrary in Sections 2.3 or 2.5, if Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Purchaser shall no longer have any right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 3.3, and except as expressly provided herein to the contrary herein, Purchaser shall be bound to proceed to Closing and consummate the transaction contemplated hereby pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

 

3.4 Marketing. From and after the Effective Date through the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Seller and its affiliates shall not (and Seller shall instruct its broker not to) accept or entertain offers, or negotiate, solicit interest in or otherwise enter into discussions involving the sale or disposition of all or any part of the Property, provided, that any unsolicited offer or offers in response to prior marketing activity by CBRE shall not violate this clause so long as Seller does not actively negotiate or accept any such offers.

(vii) Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of (A) all Tenant Inducement Costs (as hereinafter defined) and leasing commissions which become due and payable after Closing as a result of any renewals or modifications of the Leases, or any new Leases, approved or deemed approved in accordance with Section 5.4(b) hereof, between the Effective Date and the date of Closing, and (B) all Tenant Inducement Costs and leasing commissions which become due and payable from and after the date of Closing. If, as of the date of Closing, Seller shall have paid any Tenant Inducement Costs or leasing commissions for which Purchaser is responsible pursuant to the foregoing provisions, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller therefor at Closing. For purposes hereof, the term “Tenant Inducement Costs” shall mean any out-of-pocket payments required under any Leases to be paid by the landlord thereunder to or for the benefit of the tenant thereunder which is in the nature of a tenant inducement, including specifically, without limitation, tenant improvement costs, lease buyout costs, and moving, design, refurbishment and club membership allowances.

 

(viii) Unpaid and delinquent rent collected by Seller and Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be delivered as follows: (a) if Seller collects any unpaid or delinquent rent for the Property, Seller shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Purchaser any such rent which Purchaser is entitled to hereunder relating to the date of Closing and any period thereafter, and (b) if Purchaser collects any unpaid or delinquent rent from the Property, Purchaser shall, within fifteen (15) days after the receipt thereof, deliver to Seller any such rent which Seller is entitled to hereunder relating to the period prior to the date of Closing. Rents and other charges and revenues that are delinquent (or payable but unpaid) as of the Closing Date shall not be prorated on the Closing Date. All rent received by Seller or Purchaser after the date of Closing shall be applied first to current rentals and then to delinquent rentals, if any, in inverse order of maturity. If any rents are delinquent as of the Closing then Purchaser will make a good faith effort for a period of ninety (90) days after Closing to collect such delinquent rents, but Purchaser will not be obligated to institute any lawsuit or other formal collection procedures to collect delinquent rents. Seller shall have the right, after Closing, to proceed against tenants for all rental amounts allocable to the period of Seller’s ownership of the Property (provided that in no event shall Seller have any right to seek to evict the applicable tenant, terminate the applicable Lease or otherwise disturb such tenant’s occupancy). In the event that there shall be any rents or other charges under the Leases which, although relating to a period prior to Closing, do not become due and payable until after Closing or are paid prior to Closing but are subject to adjustment after Closing (such as year end common area expense reimbursements and the like), then any rents or charges of such type received by Purchaser or its agents or Seller or its agents subsequent to Closing shall, to the extent applicable to a period extending through the Closing, be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of Closing and Seller’s portion thereof shall be remitted promptly to Seller by Purchaser.

 

(c) The provisions of this Section 4.5 shall survive Closing for a period of six (6) months.

4.7 Conditions Precedent to Obligation of Purchaser. The obligations of Purchaser to consummate the transaction hereunder shall be subject to the following conditions, any or all of which may be waived by Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion (individually and collectively, as the context may require “Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent”):

 

(a) Subject to Section 5.3, all of the representations and warranties of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date.

 

(b) Seller shall have performed and observed, in all material respects, all covenants and agreements of this Agreement to be performed and observed by Seller as of the Closing Date.

Purchaser shall have no right to object to a Tenant Estoppel Certificate solely because it limits one or more statements to the tenant’s knowledge or contains a general conditional statement such as “we reserve all rights” or “subject to our audit rights as set forth in the Lease.” Further, any Tenant Estoppel Certificates meeting the requirements of this Section 4.7(c) shall count towards the Tenant Estoppel Certificate requirement, unless it discloses any default beyond applicable notice or cure periods, by Seller not within Purchaser’s knowledge as of the end of the Inspection Period. Purchaser shall have right to approve completed Tenant Estoppel Certificates prior to delivery to tenants (provided that Purchaser shall review and approve or disapprove such Tenant Estoppel Certificates within three (3) business days of delivery (and failing to respond shall be deemed approved)). Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to procure from each of the tenants under the Leases a completed and signed Tenant Estoppel Certificate, for delivery in accordance with this Section; provided, Seller’s obligation to use reasonable efforts to obtain the Tenant Estoppel Certificates as required above shall be limited to making requests therefor and reasonable follow-up, but shall not include the payment of any money, issuance of any default notices or any other extraordinary action by Seller.

 

(d) Purchaser shall have received or the Title Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally committed to issuing the Title Policy.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if Seller is unable to timely satisfy Purchaser’s Condition Precedents set forth above prior to the Closing Date, then, (i) Seller may, if it so elects and without any abatement in the Purchase Price, adjourn the Closing by delivering written notice(s) to Purchaser (a “Condition Precedent Extension Notice”) specifying such new Closing Date for such longer period as may be necessary to satisfy such Purchaser’s Condition Precedent (but in no event more than ten (10) business days), during which Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent, (ii) with respect to the condition precedent for Tenant Estoppel Certificates in Section 4.7(c), Seller or Purchaser may, if it so elects and without any abatement in the Purchase Price, adjourn the Closing by delivering a Condition Precedent Extension Notice specifying such new Closing Date for such longer period as may be necessary to satisfy such Purchaser’s Condition Precedent (but in no event more than ten (10) business days, which may be extended an additional five (5) business days if not satisfied within such ten (10) business day period), and (iii) if, after any such extension, the Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent continue not to be satisfied (and Purchaser has not waived the same) or Seller does not elect such extension and, in either case, such failure of Purchaser’s Condition Precedent is not the result of Seller’s default hereunder, then Purchaser shall be entitled to either (a) terminate this Agreement by notice thereof to Seller (in which event the Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit (and Seller shall promptly deliver the Additional Deposit to Purchaser) and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder, except those expressly stated to survive the termination hereof) or, (b) consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

5.3 Survival of Seller’s Representations and Warranties.

 

(a) If Seller becomes aware prior to the Closing that any of its representations and warranties are untrue or has materially changed that would have a material and adverse effect on the Property necessitating update and disclosure to Purchaser, then upon written notice to Purchaser (“Seller’s Update Notice”) Seller shall have the right and obligation to promptly update its representations and warranties to reflect the then current actual facts, status, conditions, or and circumstances. If Purchaser obtains actual knowledge (or is deemed to know in accordance with the last sentence of this paragraph) prior to Closing of any material breach or inaccuracy in Seller’s representations or warranties under this Agreement that would have a material and adverse effect on the Property, through Seller’s Update Notice, or through Purchaser’s own investigations, then as Purchaser’s sole remedy, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit and the Extension Deposits (if applicable) by written notice to Seller not later than five (5) business days after receiving Seller’s Update Notice or otherwise becoming aware of such breached or inaccurate representation or warranty. If Purchaser does not timely notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement as a consequence of Seller’s Update Notice or upon becoming aware that Seller’s representation or warranty is untrue or materially inaccurate, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right or remedy that it otherwise might have as a consequence thereof and the applicable representation or warranty shall be deemed modified accordingly. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) Seller shall have no liability, except as specifically stated to the contrary in this Section 5.3(a), for any misrepresentation or breach of warranty of which Purchaser becomes aware prior to Closing through Seller’s Update Notice or through Purchaser’s own investigations and (ii) all of Seller’s representations and warranties shall automatically be deemed modified to reflect any matters set forth in the Due Diligence Items or any other matters or information disclosed in writing to Purchaser or its agents, attorneys or representatives (including in any third party reports obtained by such persons) prior to the Closing.

 

(b) Except for matters that Purchaser obtains actual knowledge (or is deemed to know) of prior to Closing (which shall not survive the Closing), the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in Section 5.1 hereof shall survive Closing for a period of nine (9) months only (the “Survival Period”). No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller set forth in Section 5.1 hereof shall be actionable or payable unless the amount of such claim or claims, individually or in the aggregate, exceeds $75,000, written notice containing a description of the specific nature of such breach shall have been given by Purchaser to Seller prior to the expiration of the Survival Period and an action shall have been commenced by Purchaser against Seller within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Survival Period. In no event shall Seller’s aggregate liability to Purchaser under this Agreement or any of the documents to be delivered by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to the terms hereof, including, without limitation, any breach of the representations and warranties of Seller in this Agreement, exceed an amount equal to two and one-half percent (2.5%) of the Purchase Price (the “Cap”); provided that, the Cap shall not include amounts payable pursuant to Section 8.1 or Section 10.24 or if it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Seller committed fraud with respect to the transaction contemplated under this Agreement.

Seller shall not, without prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent may be granted or withheld (i) in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period (it being agreed that Purchaser is under no obligation to approve any renewal or modification of any Lease that would provide for any extension of the existing term under such Lease or any new Lease, and that such disapproval shall be deemed to be reasonable under this clause (i)) and (ii) in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion after expiration of the Inspection Period, enter into any new tenant lease agreements, lease extensions or other similar use agreements (including, without limitation, any amendment, renewal, expansion or modification to, or termination of, any existing Lease); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any right exercised by a tenant pursuant to the terms of its lease which Seller does not have approval or consent rights over. At Closing, Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for any Tenant Inducement Costs, leasing commissions or other expenses, including legal fees, incurred by Seller pursuant to a renewal or a modification or a new Lease approved by Purchaser. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to timely comply with all of its obligations in all material respects under the Leases.

(g) If requested by Purchaser, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts (without the obligation to expend any funds) to (i) obtain estoppel certificates from any owners’ associations (including the Gateway Corporate Center Association) in a form reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, and (ii) obtain a subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement from any tenants under Leases prior to the Closing Date in the form requested by Purchaser; provided, however, that in no event shall the failure to obtain any such estoppel or subordination non-disturbance and attornment agreement be a default or breach by Seller hereunder, be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations to close hereunder, extend the Closing Date, or otherwise be a reason for Purchaser to terminate this Agreement.

 

5.5 Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to Seller:

 

(a) ERISA.

Upon Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.

 

7.3 Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage.

10.26 California Provisions. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of this Section 10.26 and the remainder of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section 10.26 shall control:

 

(a) Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the Disclosure Statutes (as defined below) provide that a seller of real property 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 statutes that require Seller to make disclosures concerning the Property. By execution of this Agreement, Seller instructs Title Company to deliver to Purchaser (and if Title Company fails to deliver, Purchaser shall request from Title Company) a Natural Hazard Disclosure Report for the Property (the “Report”). Purchaser hereby agrees as follows with respect to the Disclosure Statutes and the Report: (i) the delivery of the Report to Purchaser shall be deemed to satisfy all obligations and requirements of Seller under the Disclosure Statutes; (ii) Seller shall not be liable for any error or inaccuracy in, or omission from, the information in the Report; and (iii) the Report is being furnished by Seller for purposes of complying with the Disclosure Statutes and shall not be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty by Seller as to the presence or absence in, at or around of the Property of the conditions that are the subject of the Disclosure Statutes. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained in the Report releases Purchaser from its obligation to fully investigate and satisfy itself with the condition of the Property prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, including, without limitation, whether the Property is located in any Natural Hazard Area. Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the Report may change on or prior to the Closing and that Seller has no obligation to update, modify or supplement the Report. Purchaser is solely responsible for preparing and delivering its own Report to subsequent prospective purchasers of the Property.

 

(b) In accordance with the requirements of California Civil Code Section 1101.5(e), Seller hereby discloses to Purchaser the following: (1) California Civil Code Section 1101.5(a) provides as follows: “On or before January 1, 2019, all noncompliant plumbing fixtures in any multifamily residential real property and in any commercial real property shall be replaced with water-conserving plumbing fixtures”; and (2) to Seller’s knowledge, the Property does not have any such noncompliant plumbing fixtures.

 

(c) Seller and Purchaser each expressly waive the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1662 and hereby agree that the provisions of Article VII shall govern the parties’ obligations in the event of any damage or destruction to the Property or the taking of all or any part of the Property, as applicable.

 

(d) IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 6.1, THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER’S ACTUAL DAMAGES IN THE EVENT OF A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN, AND THAT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES REPRESENT THE PARTIES’ BEST ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES. SUCH RETENTION OF THE INITIAL DEPOSIT AND THE ADDITIONAL DEPOSIT (AND THE EXTENSION DEPOSITS, IF APPLICABLE) BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF SECTION 3275 OR SECTION 3369 OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE OR ANY SIMILAR PROVISION.
