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 March 6, 2017 (the "Effective
Date") by and between Seller and Buyer.
RECITALS
A. Seller is the fee owner of record as to the Real Property. The Real Property is
unimproved.
B. Buyer currently owns the land and building located at 292 N. G Street, which is near
the situs of the Real Property. Buyer desires to acquire the Real Property for use of its existing
business at 292 N. G Street and related activities.
C. 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.
E. 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 the Independent Consideration Amount; and
(ii) Agreed to the provisions set forth in Sections 13 and 14 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 collectively as the following the fee interest in
the Real Property to be conveyed by a grant deed in the form of the Deed
1. 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 (less any adjustments made to clear liens
and to defray Seller's costs of sale including, but not limited to, the preparation of legal documents
and validation of the purchase price incurred by the City of San Bernardino and the Seller's share of
closing costs), the use of sales proceeds by Seller is a matter with which Buyer is not concerned.
2. 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 to
the extent required 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) Closing. 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.
3. 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"):

engineering reports, inspection results, complaints, or notices received regarding the safety of the
Real Property.

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
City Manager, no investigation with respect thereto having been undertaken.
(d) All contract, agreement or instrument to which Seller is a party pertaining to
the Real Property.
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

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. If Buyer does not cancel this Agreement by the time
allowed under this Section 5, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the evaluations, inspections
and tests as provided herein and to have elected to proceed with this transaction on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. 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
mechanic's 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 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.

(i) Title Review. 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 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

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 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 the (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 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
7

appropriate address. Notice of change of address shall be given by written notice in the manner
detailed in this Section. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of
changed address of which no Notice in accordance with this Section was given shall be deemed to
constitute receipt of such Notice. The providing of copies of Notices to the parties' respective
counsels is for information only, is not required for valid Notice and does not alone constitute
Notice hereunder.

("Seller's Agents") it may have retained in connection with the sale of the Real Property (and Buyer

Property to the Buyer, and there are no brokerage commission, finder's fee or other compensation of
any kind is due or owing to any person or entity in connection with this Agreement. Seller agrees to

liabilities or causes of action or proceedings which may be instituted by any broker, agent or finder,
licensed or otherwise, claiming through, under or by reason of the conduct of the Seller in

finder's fee or other compensation of any kind is due or owing to any person or entity in connection
17
with this Agreement other than Buyer's costs with respect to Buyer's real estate broker, if any.
Buyer agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the Seller free and harmless from and against
any and all costs, liabilities or causes of action or proceedings which may be instituted by any
broker, agent or finder, licensed or otherwise, claiming through, under or by reason of the conduct
of the Buyer in connection with this Agreement. Buyer shall arrange with Buyer's Representative
for such payments as have been agreed between Buyer and Buyer's Representative to be payable to
Buyer's Representative; Seller shall have no responsibilities with respect thereto. Buyer shall either
arrange with the Escrow Holder for Escrow Holder to disburse moneys deposited by Buyer with
Escrow Holder to Buyer's Representative based upon an agreement between Buyer and Buyer's
Representative, or Buyer shall pay Buyer's Representative outside of escrow (in which event Buyer
shall so inform Seller and Escrow Holder).
(e) Waiver Consent and Remedies. Each provision of this Agreement to be
performed by Buyer and Seller shall be deemed both a covenant and a condition and shall be a
material consideration for Seller's and Buyer's performance hereunder, as appropriate, and any
breach thereof by Buyer or Seller shall be deemed a material default hereunder. Either party may
specifically and expressly waive in writing any portion of this Agreement or any breach thereof, but
no such waiver shall constitute a further or continuing waiver of a preceding or succeeding breach of
the same or any 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. All rights, remedies, undertakings, obligations, options, covenants,
conditions and agreements contained in this Agreement shall be cumulative and no one of them
shall be exclusive of any other. Except as otherwise specified herein, either party hereto may pursue
any one or more of its rights, options or remedies hereunder or may seek damages or specific
performance in the event of the other party's breach hereunder, or may pursue any other remedy at
law or equity, whether or not stated in this Agreement.

documents and to diligently undertake such actions as may be required in order to consummate the
purchase and sale herein contemplated and shall use all reasonable efforts to accomplish the Closing
