PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
AND
JOINT ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
This PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT AND JOINT ESCROW
INSTRUCTIONS ("Agreement') is made and entered into as of October 17, 2017 (the "Effective
Date") by and between Seller and Buyer.
RECITALS
A. Seller is the fee owner of the Real Property. The Real Property is unoccupied and is
improved as part of a parking lot. The Real Property is subject to a rental agreement with the Owner
of the Adjacent Property (the "Rental Agreement'). The Owner of the Adjacent Property is related to
the Buyer. Buyer agrees to cause the Owner of the Adjacent Property to cancel the Rental Agreement
concurrent with the conveyance of the Real Property to Buyer under this Agreement. By executing this
Agreement, each of Seller and Buyer consent to the termination of the Rental Agreement automatically
as of the Closing.
B. Seller has offered to sell to Buyer the Real Property described herein for the price and
subject to the terms set forth below. Buyer has considered the offer by Seller and agrees to buy from
Seller the Real Property, as more specifically described below.
C. In addition to the Purchase Price, a material consideration to Seller in agreeing to sell
the Real Property to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and but for which Seller would not have agreed
to enter into this Agreement or sell the Real Property to Buyer, Buyer has:
(i) Agreed to pay to Seller or to deposit with the Escrow Holder for delivery to
Seller the Independent Consideration Amount;
and
(ii) Agreed to deposit with the Escrow Holder for delivery to Seller the Deposit;
(iii) Agreed to the provisions set forth in Sections 14 and 15 hereof.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, Seller and Buyer agree as follows:
1. Purchase and Sale. Seller hereby agrees to sell the Real Property to Buyer, and Buyer
hereby agrees to purchase the Real Property from Seller, on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement. The term Real Property is defined as the fee interest in the Real Property to be conveyed
by a grant deed in the form of the Deed.
2. Payment of Consideration. As consideration for the sale of the Real Property from
Seller to Buyer, Buyer shall, at the Closing (as defined below), pay to Seller the Purchase Price for the
Real Property. Upon payment of the Purchase Price, the use of sales proceeds by Seller is a matter with
which Buyer is not concerned.
EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT 4
3. Escrow and Independent Consideration.
(a) Opening of Escrow. For the purposes of this Agreement, the escrow
("Escrow") shall be deemed opened ("Opening of Escrow") on the date that Escrow Holder receives a
copy of this Agreement fully executed by Buyer and Seller. Buyer and Seller shall use their best efforts
to cause the Opening of Escrow to occur on or before five (5) business days after the Effective Date,
Escrow Holder shall promptly notify Buyer and Seller in writing of the date of the Opening of Escrow.
This Agreement will constitute escrow instructions to the Escrow Holder. Buyer and Seller agree to
execute, deliver and be bound by any reasonable or customary supplemental escrow instructions or
other instruments reasonably required by Escrow Holder to consummate the transaction contemplated
by this Agreement; provided, however, that no such instruments shall be inconsistent or in conflict
with, amend or supersede any portion of this Agreement. If there is any conflict or inconsistency
between the terms of such instruments and the terms of this Agreement, then the terms of this Agreement
shall control. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no such instruments shall extinguish
any obligations imposed by this Agreement or any other agreement between Seller and Buyer.
(b) Independent Consideration. Within two (2) days after the Effective Date, Buyer
shall pay to Seller the Independent Consideration Amount to be retained by Seller as non- refundable
independent consideration. The Independent Consideration Amount has been bargained for and agreed
to as consideration for Seller's execution and delivery of this Agreement and Seller holding the Real
Property off the market for a period commencing as of the Effective Date and continuing until the
Outside Date and for the rights and privileges granted to Buyer herein, including any and all rights
granted to Buyer to terminate this Agreement under the circumstances provided for herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Independent Consideration
Amount shall be non-refundable in all events, except for (i) Seller's default hereunder, (ii) the failure of
the Oversight Board to approve the sale of the Real Property as provided under this Agreement, and
(iii) actions by the California Department of Finance ("DOF") which prevent the disposition of the
Real Property to Buyer as provided under this Agreement. If the Closing occurs, a credit shall be
applied to the Purchase Price based upon payment of the Independent Consideration Amount.
(c) Deposit. Within seven (7) days after the Effective Date, Buyer shall submit to
Escrow Holder the Deposit. The Deposit shall be released to Seller upon either: (i) the Closing (as part
of the Purchase Price) or (ii) the failure to close by reason of Buyer's default under this Agreement.
(d) Treatment of Deposit. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES; DISPOSITION OF
DEPOSIT. IF THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR SOLELY BY REASON OF BUYER'S
DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY
DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE,
THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET
DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN SUCH EVENT IS AND SHALL BE THE
RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS SELLER'S SOLE AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE
NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF
APPLICABLE LAWS. IF THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR FOR ANY REASON OTHER
THAN BUYER'S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN THE DEPOSIT SHALL BE
RETURNED IMMEDIATELY TO BUYER (WITL-IOUT LIMITATION ON AND IN ADDITION
TO ANY OTHER RIGHTS OR REMEDIES OF BUYER).
EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT 4
BUYER'S INITIALS SELLER'S INITIALS
(e) Closine. For purposes of this Agreement, the "Closing" or "Closing Date" shall
be the date the Deed (as defined below) is recorded pursuant to applicable law in the county in which
the Real Property is located. Unless changed in writing by Buyer and Seller, the Closing shall occur
on the Closing Date, or as soon thereafter as the conditions precedent to closing are satisfied pursuant
to Sections 6 and 7 of this Agreement. If the Closing has not, for any reason, occurred by the Closing
Date, then either Buyer or Seller may terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to the
other at any time after the outside Closing Date (i.e. the Outside Date); provided, however, that if either
party is in default under this Agreement at the time of such termination, then such termination shall
not affect the rights and remedies of the non -defaulting party against the defaulting party.
4. Seller's Delivery of Real Property and Formation Documents. Within ten (10) days
after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer the following items (collectively, the Property
Documents"):
(a) Such reasonable proof of Seller's authority and authorization to enter into this
Agreement and to consummate this transaction consistent with the terms of this Agreement, including
without limitation approval of the Oversight Board of the sale of the Real Property by Seller to Buyer.
(b) To the extent in the possession of Seller, all materials related to pending or
threatened litigation involving the Real Property, including correspondence, complaints, court orders,
settlements, and judgments to the extent such matters are within the actual knowledge of the Executive
Director of the Successor Agency, no investigation with respect thereto having been undertaken.
In addition, Seller shall cause Escrow Holder to obtain and deliver to Buyer a Natural Hazard
Report as provided for under Sections 1102 and 1103 of the California Civil Code (the "Natural Hazard
Report") within twenty (20) calendar days after the Opening of Escrow, but in no event later than the
thirtieth (30`x') day after the Effective Date. Buyer has previously received and reviewed the Rental
Agreement; Seller need not provide Buyer with a copy of the Rental Agreement.
5. Buyer's Right of Entry. From and after the Opening of Escrow through the earlier to
occur of the termination of this Agreement or the Soil and Title Contingency Date, or as otherwise
agreed in writing by Seller prior to entry is effected, Buyer and Buyer's employees, agents, consultants
and contractors shall have the right to enter upon the Real Property during normal business hours,
provided reasonable prior notice has been given to Seller.
(a) Investigation of the Real Property. In addition to the foregoing, the Buyer shall
have the right, at its sole cost and expense, prior to the Soil and Title Contingency Date, to make such
evaluations, inspections, tests or investigations as Buyer deems necessary or appropriate, including
any "Phase 1" or "Phase 2" investigations of the Real Property. If, based upon such evaluations,
inspections, tests or investigations, Buyer determines that it, in its sole discretion, does not wish to
proceed with purchase of the Real Property based upon the condition of the Real Property, Buyer may
cancel this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller on or before the Soil and Title
Contingency Date. Furthermore, if Buyer does not approve in writing this Agreement by the time
allowed under this Section 5, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the evaluations, inspections
and tests as provided herein and to have elected not to proceed with this transaction on the terms and
EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT 4
conditions of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be deemed cancelled. Seller shall be provided
a copy of all reports and test results provided by Buyer's environmental consultant promptly after
receipt by the Buyer of any such reports and test results without any representation or warranty as to
their accuracy or completeness; provided however, Buyer will not be required to deliver any such
reports or test results if the written contract which Buyer entered into with the environmental consultant
who prepared such report or test results specifically forbids the dissemination of the report or test results
to others.
Buyer shall bear all costs, if any, associated with restoring the Real Property to
substantially the same condition prior to its testing by or on behalf of Buyer if requested to so do by
Seller but excluding any latent defects or Hazardous Materials (as defined below) discovered by Buyer
during its investigation of the Real Property. Buyer agrees to indemnify, protect, defend (with counsel
satisfactory to Seller) and hold Seller and the Real Property free and harmless from and against all
costs, claims, losses, liabilities, damages, judgments, actions, demands, attorneys' fees or mechanics'
liens arising out of or resulting from any entry or activities on the Real Property by Buyer, Buyer's
agents, contractors or subcontractors and the contractors and subcontractors of such agents, but in no
event shall the indemnity of this Section 5 include the discovery of pre-existing conditions by Buyer
or any such liabilities, costs, etc. arising from the negligence or willful misconduct of Seller and/or its
consultants. The indemnity obligations of Buyer set forth in this Section 5(a) shall survive any
termination of this Agreement or the Close of Escrow.

(c) Buyer Precautions after Closing. Upon and after the Closing, Buyer shall
comply with all laws, ordinances, statutes, codes, rules, regulations, orders, and decrees of the United

6. Buyer's Conditions Precedent and TerminationRight.
(a) Conditions Precedent. The Closing and Buyer's obligation to consummate the
purchase of the Real Property under this Agreement are subject to the timely satisfaction, approval, or
written waiver of the following conditions precedent (collectively, "Buyer's Contingencies"), which
are for Buyer's benefit only.
(i) Title Review. Within twenty (20) calendar days after the Opening of
Escrow, but in no event later than the thirtieth (30`h) day after the Effective Date, Seller shall cause the
Title Company to deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report (the "Report") describing the title to the
Real Property, together with copies of the plotted easements and the exceptions (the "Exceptions") set
forth in the Repot; provided that the cost of the Report shall be borne by Seller. Seller acknowledges
that the Buyer's Title Policy shall include an endorsement against the effect of any mechanics' liens;
Seller will provide such indemnity or other assurances as necessary to induce the Title Company to
provide such endorsement. On or before the Soil and Title Contingency Date, Buyer shall have
approved in writing, in Buyer's sole discretion, any matters of title disclosed by the following
(collectively, the "Title Documents"): (i) the Report; (ii) the Exceptions; (iii) the legal description of
the Real Property and (iv) any survey Buyer desires to obtain at Buyer's sole cost and expense. Buyer's
failure to approve in writing the Title Documents prior to the Soil and the Title Contingency Date shall
be deemed to be a disapproval of the Title Documents. Buyer shall have the same rights to approve or
disapprove any exceptions to title that are not created by Buyer and that come into existence after
issuance of the Report but prior to Closing. Seller shall, on or before the Closing, remove all deeds of
trust, mortgages, and delinquent taxes (but not the lien for any real property taxes or assessments not
yet delinquent).
(ii) Buyer's Title Policy. On or before the Closing, the Title Company
shall, upon payment (by Seller in accordance with Section 10(a)) of the Title Company's premium,
have agreed to issue to Buyer, a standard ALTA owner's policy of title insurance insuring only as to
matters of record title ("Standard Buyer's Title Policy") in the amount of the Purchase Price showing
fee title to the Real Property vested solely in Buyer and subject only to (i) the standard, preprinted
exceptions to Buyer's Title Policy; (ii) liens to secure payment of real estate taxes or assessments not
yet delinquent; (iii) matters affecting the Real Property created by or with the written consent of Buyer;
and (iv) those matters specifically approved in writing by Buyer. Buyer shall have the right, at its sole
cost and expense, to obtain coverage beyond that offered by a standard ALTA policy (such as an
owner's extended coverage ALTA policy); provided, however, that Buyer's ability to obtain such
extended coverage shall not be a Buyer's Contingency and Buyer's obligations hereunder shall in no
way be conditioned or contingent upon obtaining such extended coverage. Buyer shall have sole
responsibility for obtaining, and bearing the cost of, any endorsements and for any survey or other
matters required by the Title Company for such extended coverage.
In the event Buyer enters into a loan agreement to generate moneys to purchase
EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT 4
the Real Property from Seller under this Agreement, Buyer and not Seller shall be responsible
for the title insurance, closing costs and any other costs, fees or expenses in relation to Buyer obtaining
such loaned moneys. The sale shall be all cash to Seller.
(iii) Inspections and Studies. On or before the Soil and Title Contingency
Date, Buyer shall have approved in writing, in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, the results of any
physical and legal inspections, investigations, tests and studies Buyer elects to make or obtain,
including, but not limited to, investigations with regard to zoning, building codes and other
governmental regulations; engineering tests; soils, seismic and geologic reports; environmental audits,
inspections and studies; environmental investigation or other invasive or subsurface testing; and any
other physical or legal inspections and/or investigations as Buyer may elect to make or obtain. For the
avoidance of doubt, if Buyer fails to give such written notice on or before the Soil and Title
Contingency Date, Buyer will be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement.
(iv) Natural Hazard Report. Within twenty (20) calendar days after the
Opening of Escrow, but in no event later than the thirtieth (30th) day after the Effective Date, Seller
shall cause the Escrow Holder to provide to Buyer prior to the Soil and Title Contingency Date the
Natural Hazard Report described at Section 8(a)(iii) of this Agreement.
(v) Property and Formation Documents. On or before the Soil and Title
Contingency Date, Buyer shall have approved in writing, in Buyer's sole discretion, the terms,
conditions and status of all of the Property Documents.
(vi) Delivery of Documents. Seller's delivery of all documents described
in Section 8, below.
(vii) Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
of Seller contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date made and materially true
and correct as of the Closing.
(viii) Title Company Confirmation. The Title Company shall have confirmed
that it is prepared to issue the Buyer's Title Policy consistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
(ix) Oversight Board and DOE Approval. The Oversight Board and, if
required as a condition of the issuance of title insurance or by either party hereto, approval by DOE,
shall have been given as to the disposition of the Real Property by Seller to Buyer under this
Agreement.
(x) Consents. All necessary agreements and consents of all parties to
consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will have been obtained and furnished
by Seller to Buyer.
(xi) No Default. As of the Closing, Seller shall not be in default in the
performance of any material covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller under this Agreement.
(b) Termination Right. Each of paragraphs (b) (i) and (ii) below shall operate
independently and each shall entitle the respective party to terminate this Agreement, as follows:
M
EXHIBIT A TO EXHIBIT 4
(i) If the Independent Consideration Amount is not paid by Buyer to Seller
by the time set forth therefor in Section 3(b) of this Agreement, then Seller may terminate this
Agreement by giving notice thereof toBuyer.
(ii) If any of Buyer's Contingencies are not to be met by the Closing
Contingency Date, Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, terminate this Agreement.
If this Agreement is terminated, then (except to the extent expressly allocated to one
party hereto by this Agreement) any escrow, title or other cancellation fees shall be paid by Buyer,
unless Seller is in default hereunder, in which case Seller shall pay all such fees. If the Agreement has
not been terminated pursuant to (i) or (ii) of this Section 6(b) and Buyer has neither terminated this
Agreement in writing ("Termination Notice") on or before 5:00 p.m. on the Monday preceding the
scheduled Closing ("Termination Notice Deadline"), and/or Buyer has approved in writing all of
Buyer's Contingencies, then all such Buyer's Contingencies shall be deemed to have been satisfied and
this Agreement shall continue pursuant to its terms. If Buyer has approved in writing the items set forth
in Sections 6(a)(i)-(xi) inclusive, prior to the Termination Notice Deadline, such Buyer's Contingencies
shall be deemed to have been satisfied.

of Buyer's disapproval or conditional approval of any Title Documents. Seller shall then have the right,
but not the obligation, to (i) remove from title any disapproved or conditionally approved Exception(s)
(or cure such other title matters that are the basis of Buyer's disapproval or conditional approval of the
Title ,Documents) within five (5) business days after Seller's receipt of Buyer's Termination Notice, or
(ii) provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that such Exception(s) will be removed (or other
matters cured) on or before the Closing. With respect to any such Exception, it shall be sufficient for
purposes hereof for Seller to commit in writing, within the applicable period, to remove such Exception
at or before the Closing. Seller's failure to remove such Exception after committing to do so shall be a
default hereunder. An Exception shall be deemed removed or cured if Seller furnishes Buyer with
evidence that the Title Company will issue the Buyer's Title Policy, as defined herein, at the Closing
deleting such Exception or providing an endorsement (at Seller's expense) reasonably satisfactory to
Buyer concerning such Exception. If Seller cannot or does not remove or agree to remove any of the
disapproved Exception(s) (or cure other matters) within such five (5) business day period, Buyer shall
have three (3) business days after the expiration of such five -(5) business day period to give Seller
written notice that Buyer elects to proceed with the purchase of the Real Property subject to the
disapproved Title Document(s), it being understood that Buyer shall have no further recourse against

notice within such three (3) business day period, Buyer will be deemed to have elected to terminate
this Agreement.

other provision. A waiving party may at any time thereafter require further compliance by the other
party with any breach or provision so waived. The consent by one party to any act by the other for
which such consent was required shall not be deemed to imply consent or waiver of the necessity of
obtaining such consent for the same or any similar acts in the future. No waiver or consent shall be
implied from silence or any failure of a party to act, except as otherwise specified in this Agreement.
