All of the items referred to above are collectively referred to as the “Property.”
2.Purchase Price.
A. The purchase price of the Property is Six Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,600,000) subject to reduction by any credits due Buyer hereunder (the “Purchase Price”).
B. The Purchase Price shall be paid as follows:
(i) Within three (3) business days after Buyer’s receipt of a fully executed original of this Agreement (the “Full Execution Date”), Buyer shall deposit in escrow with First American Title Company at 1737 N. First Street #500, San Jose, CA 95112, Attention: Liz Zankich (“Title Company”), a deposit in the amount of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) ( the “Deposit #1”). On or before one (1) business day following the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (as defined below) provided that Buyer has given the Approval Notice (as defined below), Buyer shall cause an additional One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) (the “Deposit #2”) in immediately available funds to be delivered into escrow. Deposit #1 and Deposit #2 as each of said amounts are received by escrow shall be referred to as the “Deposit”.

The Title Policy shall provide full coverage against mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens arising out of the construction, repair or alteration of any of the Improvements including any tenant improvements therein and shall contain such special endorsements as Buyer may reasonably require (the “Endorsements”).

Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, except for representations and covenants in this Agreement, the sale of the Property is made on an “as is” and “where is” and “with all faults.” It is understood and agreed that the purchase price has been adjusted by prior negotiations to reflect that the Property is sold by Seller and purchased by Buyer and subject to the foregoing.

Buyer as of the close of escrow, on behalf of itself, its heirs, executors, successors, and assigns, does hereby waive, release, and forever discharge Seller, and Seller’s agents and employees, from any and all claims, actions, causes of action, demands, liabilities, damages, costs, expenses, penalties, or compensation whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees, whether direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseeable or unforeseeable, which Buyer may have at close of escrow or which may arise in the future on account of or in any way related to or connected with the Property, or the purchase and sale of the Property, including, without limitation, any matters described above. In such regard, Buyer hereby waives the protection of California Civil Code Section 1542, which reads 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 by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no release or waiver by Buyer set forth herein shall constitute a release or waiver of (a) Seller’s performance of its covenants under this Agreement, (b) any fraud by Seller in connection with this Agreement or (c) any representations by Seller in this Agreement.
