concerning, or involving the respective properties for this transaction, including, without

consultants, contractors, and designees shall have the right to enter onto each other's Properties
from and after the date of this Agreement through the Closing for purposes of examining,
inspecting and investigating the other's Properties, including the site, soil, subsurface soils,
drainage, seismic and other geological and topographical matters, location of asbestos, toxic
substances, hazardous materials or wastes, if any, and, in each Party's sole and absolute discretion,

the entering Party (the "Entering Party') shall provide the welcoming Party (the "Welcoming
Party") with at least twenty-four (24) hour written notice identifying the date and time of the
planned inspection. The Welcoming Party will permit the Entering Party's planned inspection

convenient date or time as soon as possible. Both Parties shall have the right, for any reason and
3
17942.00158\42470111.4

the termination of this transaction.
2.6 As -Is. Based on the inspection rights set forth in the preceding paragraph and in
reliance on the due diligence of each Party, City and Property One acknowledge and agree that
except for the limited warranties and representations expressly set forth in this Agreement, the
exchange of the Properties is made solely on an AS IS WHERE IS BASIS, WITH ABSOLUTELY
NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. But for the
foregoing understanding and agreement, the Parties would not have entered into this transaction.
Each Party acknowledges that due to the expertise, experience and business acumen of both Parties
and their respective consultants, each Party has the ability to conduct a complete and through due
diligence of the respective Properties and would not close the transaction unless totally satisfied
with the respective Property, and has otherwise conducted an exhaustive and complete due
diligence which would enable the taking of the respective Property in an AS IS WHERE IS BASIS
WITH ABSOLUTELY NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED.
2.7 Title Review. During each Parties' respective Feasibility Period, each Party shall
obtain a preliminary title report for each respective Property, together with copies of all written
instruments creating the exceptions specified therein, and plat maps plotting all easements
specified therein (collectively, the "Title Reports'). The Parties shall notify one another in writing
(each, an "Objection Notice") on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period of any objections
they may have to the title exceptions contained in the respective Title Report for the Properties. A
Party's failure to provide an Objection Notice within said period shall constitute such Party's
approval of all exceptions to title shown on the respective Title Report for the Properties. Upon
receipt of an Objection Notice, the receiving Party (the "Receiving Party") shall have a period of
ten (10) days after receipt of the objecting Party's (the "Objecting Party") Objection Notice in
which to deliver written notice to the Objecting Party ("Objection Response") of the Receiving
Party's election to either (i) agree to remove or cure the objected to items prior to the Close of
Escrow, or (ii) decline to remove or cure any such title exceptions and, at the Receiving Party's
discretion, terminate Escrow and this Agreement. If the Receiving Party notifies the Objecting
Party of its election to terminate Escrow rather than remove and cure the objected to items, the
Objecting Party shall have the right, by written notice delivered to the Receiving Party within ten
(10) days after the Objecting Party's receipt of the Objection Response, to agree to accept the
respective Property subject to the objected to items, in which event the Receiving Party's election
to terminate the Escrow shall be of no effect, and the Objecting Party shall take title at the Close
of Escrow subject to such objected to items without any adjustment to the Exchange. The
Receiving Party may cure any objection by acquiring, at the Receiving Party's expense, a title
17942.00158\42470111.4
insurance endorsement related to the objected to exception, reasonably acceptable to the Objecting
Party. Any extension of the time to review the Title Report for a Property subject to an Objection
Notice shall only occur in strict accordance with the following paragraph.
2.8 Review of Amendments and Supplements. Upon the issuance of any amendment
or supplement to the Title Report by the Receiving Party for a Property which adds additional
exceptions, or adds any new requirement, the foregoing right of review and approval by the
Objecting Party shall also apply to said amendment or supplement; provided, however, that the
Objecting Party's period of review and approval or disapproval of any such additional exceptions
shall be limited to fifteen (15) business days following the Objecting Party's and its counsel's
receipt of the instrument(s) creating such additional exceptions. The foregoing extension shall only
be allowed for and pertain to the review of the new matter and the Objecting Party shall not be
entitled to object to any previously known exception or requirement for which the time for
objection has expired.
2.9 Removal of Certain Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything else stated in this
Agreement, in all events, the Parties shall satisfy and otherwise remove all monetary and financial
liens and encumbrances on their respective Properties in existence as of the Effective Date or
incurred on or before Closing (other than current taxes not yet due). In addition, the Parties shall,
except as may be otherwise specifically set forth in this Agreement, terminate all leases, possessory
agreements, licenses, and operating agreements that affect the respective Properties and cause all
parties -in -possession title exceptions shown on the Title Report, if any, to be deleted, and neither
Party need object to any such matters.
2.10 Governmental Approvals. During the course of the Escrow, each Party shall be
entitled to seek all necessary approvals from any applicable governmental authorities, quasi -
governmental authorities, and/or utility providers and regulators (collectively, "Governmental
Authorities" and the approvals, collectively, the "Government Approvals") necessary to utilize the
Properties they will receive via this Exchange in any way they see fit. The Parties shall reasonably
cooperate with each other to support their efforts to obtain each other's Governmental Approvals
and shall timely execute any and all applications, consents, and other documents reasonably
requested by the other Party in connection therewith.
