WHEREAS, the City desires to acquire the Property; and
WHEREAS, the County, including the County’s Roads and Airports Department, has

this Agreement. Upon Escrow Agent’s or either Party’s request, the Parties
shall execute such additional and supplementary escrow instructions as may be
appropriate or reasonably required by Escrow Agent to enable the Escrow
Agent to comply with the terms of Agreement; provided, however, that if there
is any conflict or inconsistency between such additional and supplementary
escrow instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
b. The transfer of the Property shall occur and escrow shall close (the “Closing”)

APNs 375-21-001 & 375-22-001
Page 3
Page 3 of 10
in the performance of any covenant or agreement to be performed by County
under this Agreement and all of County’s representations and warranties made
pursuant to this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the Closing Date; (ii)
there shall be no material adverse change in the condition of the Property
(physical, legal, title, environmental, or otherwise) from that which existed at
the expiration of the Contingency Period; (iii) Escrow Agent shall be committed
at the Closing Date to issue City a title policy subject only to those exceptions
approved by City during the Contingency Period; and (iv) County shall have
received all approvals necessary to perform the transaction contemplated
hereunder. The above-referenced conditions are solely for the benefit of City.
If on the Closing Date any condition precedent is not satisfied, City shall have
the right in its sole discretion either to waive in writing the condition and
proceed with the Closing, or terminate this Agreement. If City provides written
notice of termination hereunder, the Agreement shall terminate and the Parties
shall have no further obligations under this Agreement (with the exception of
obligations that survive the Closing or termination).
4. DISCLAIMERS; CONTINGENCY PERIOD
a. Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1102.2(j), the property is being sold
“as is,” without express or implied warranty, and shall be subject to all liens,
easements and encumbrances, recorded or unrecorded. In addition, County
makes no representations with respect to the presence of Hazardous Waste, the
suitability of the property for the uses intended, or with respect to the
conformance of the property to any codes, rules, regulations or ordinances,
whether local, state or federal. “Hazardous Waste” includes without limitation:
(a) Those substances included within the definitions of “hazardous substance,”
“hazardous waste,” “hazardous material,” “toxic substance,” “solid waste,” or
“pollutant or contaminant” in CERCLA, RCRA, TSCA, HMTA, or under any
other Environmental Law; (b) Those substances listed in the United States
Department of Transportation (DOT) Table [49 C.F.R. 172.101], or by the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), or any successor agency, as
hazardous substances 40 C.F.R. Part 302; (c) Other substances, materials, and
wastes that are or become regulated or classified as hazardous or toxic under
federal, state, or local laws or regulations; and (d) Any material, waste, or
substance that is: (i) a petroleum or refined petroleum product, (ii) asbestos, (iii)
polychlorinated biphenyl, (iv) designated as a hazardous substance pursuant to
33 U.S.C.A. §1321 or listed pursuant to 33 U.S.C.A. §1317, (v) a flammable
explosive, or (vi) a radioactive material. City acknowledges and will upon
Closing accept title to the Property with the understanding that the Property
does not have access to or from Lawrence Expressway or any other public road
except to the extent provided in the Agreement Regarding Access.
b. City understands that County makes no express or implied warranty with
respect to the condition of any of the Property. County makes no oral or written
Purchase and Sale Agreement
APNs 375-21-001 & 375-22-001
Page 4
Page 4 of 10
representation regarding the age of improvements, the size and square footage
of the parcel or building, or the location of property lines. Apparent boundary
line indicators such as driveways, fences, hedges, walls, or other barriers may
not represent the true boundary lines. Only a surveyor can determine the actual
boundary lines. If any of these issues are important to City's decision to
purchase, then City should investigate the Property independently. City
acknowledges that it has not relied upon any representations by County with
respect to the condition of the Property, the status of permits, zoning, or code
compliance. City is to satisfy itself concerning these issues. For a period of
thirty (30) calendar days after the Effective Date (the “Contingency Period”),
City and its employees, agents, contractors, consultants, and representatives
may enter upon the Property for the purpose of inspecting and evaluating the
condition of the Property (physical, legal, title, environmental, or otherwise);
provided, however, City may not make any invasive investigations (e.g., taking
soil or water samples) without the prior written consent of the County which
may be withheld in the reasonable discretion of the County. City’s inspection
and evaluation shall be at City’s sole cost and expense. City’s acceptance of the
condition of the Property is a contingency of this Agreement. On or before the
expiration of the Contingency Period, City shall have the right in its sole
discretion to terminate this Agreement based on any condition of the Property
that is unacceptable to City. If City provides written notice of termination
hereunder, the Agreement shall terminate, and the Parties shall have no further
obligations under this Agreement (with the exception of obligations that survive
the Closing or termination).
c. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the best of County’s actual knowledge: (i)
County has the full right, power, and authority to enter into this Agreement and
perform the transactions contemplated hereunder; (ii) this Agreement and all
documents to be delivered by County under this Agreement are duly authorized
and executed by County, and are the legal, valid, and binding obligations of
County; (iii) there is no litigation or proceeding pending or, to the County’s
knowledge, threatened in writing, nor is there any unsatisfied judgment against
or involving County or the Property, which might materially and adversely
affect the Property or County’s ability to consummate the transaction
contemplated by this Agreement; (iv) there are no leases, licenses, or other
occupancy agreements affecting any of the Property and there are no obligations
in connection with the Property (such as service, utility, maintenance,
employment, or management contracts, or brokerage and leasing commission
agreements) that will be binding upon City after the Closing; and (v) County
has not received written notice of any violations of any laws, rules, or
regulations applicable to the Property.
d. On or before the expiration of the Contingency Period, County shall remove
from the Property any equipment and personal property belonging to the County
or its contractors; notwithstanding the foregoing, County shall leave in place
Purchase and Sale Agreement
APNs 375-21-001 & 375-22-001
Page 5
Page 5 of 10
and convey to the City at Closing any existing fencing around the perimeter of
the Property.
5. DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY AND PROPERTY TAX
It is the responsibility of the City to determine any allowable uses or limitations on
the development or use of the Property and to satisfy itself as to the suitability and
condition of the Property. City is required to seek all approvals, permits, licenses
and the like at City’s expense for any intended development, modification,
occupancy, use, or improvement of the Property. City acknowledges that the
Property is currently not subject to property taxes since it is owned by the County,
which is a public agency, but that upon the transfer of title to the Property to City,
the Property may be subject to property taxes. City shall be responsible for
determining any and all taxes which may apply to the Property.
6. EXPENSES
a. City shall pay recording fees, escrow fees, transfer tax (if any), title insurance
premium and the costs of any endorsements thereto, and survey costs (if any)
incurred under this Agreement. All other costs shall be divided as is customary
in Santa Clara County.
b. There are no utilities, service and maintenance contracts, rentals, deposits, or
other similar fees or expenses related to the Property that will be effective as
of the Closing Date and, thus, no apportionments of same are required as of
the Closing Date. General real estate taxes and special assessments against the
Property payable for the tax year of the Closing (if any) shall be apportioned
as of 12:01 a.m. on the Closing Date, so that City bears all such expenses with
respect to the Property on and after the Closing Date.
c. The Parties shall jointly prepare a preliminary Closing adjustment on the basis
of any apportionments or adjustments to be made based on payments or
expenses, and shall deliver such computation to Escrow Agent prior to the
Closing Date. If any of the foregoing prorations cannot be calculated
accurately on the Closing Date, then they shall be calculated as soon after the
Closing Date as feasible. Either Party owing the other Party a sum of money
based on such subsequent prorations shall promptly pay such sum to the other
Party. The provisions of this Article shall survive the Closing.
7. RELEASE
a) From and after the Closing, City hereby waives, release, acquits, and forever
discharges County, and County's agents, directors, officers, and employees to
the maximum extent permitted by law, of and from any and all claims, actions,
causes of action, demands, rights, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses,

compensation, attorneys’ fees, consultants’ fees and costs and expert fees
(collectively “Claims”) whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown,
foreseen or unforeseen, that it now has or that may arise in the future because
of or in any way growing out of or connected with the physical condition of
Property, including without limitation, the physical and environmental
condition of the Property or any law or regulation applicable thereto, including,
without limitation, any Claim or matter (regardless of when it first appeared)
relating to or arising from (i) the presence of any environmental problems, or

Materials on, in, under or around the Property regardless of when such
Hazardous Materials were first introduced in, on or about the Property, (ii) any
patent or latent defects or deficiencies with respect to the Property, (iii) any and
all matters related to the Property or any portion thereof, including without
limitation, the condition and/or operation of the Property and each part thereof,
and (iv) the presence, release and/or remediation of asbestos and asbestos

proceeding, cause of action or suits in law or equity, of whatever kind or nature,
including, but not limited to, a private right of action under the federal
superfund laws, 42 U.S.C. Sections 9601 et seq. and California Health and
Safety Code Sections 25300 et seq. (as such laws and statutes may be amended,
supplemented or replaced from time to time), directly or indirectly, against the
Sellers or their agents in connection with Claims described above, except
matters arising from Seller's fraud or intentional misrepresentation or
concealment. The foregoing does not, however, release against County (i) any
claims by third parties (or any rights of City to seek indemnity or contribution
for such third party claims) that arise from matters occurring prior to the Closing
brought against City; or (ii) any claims by City resulting from the breach of this
Agreement by County.
CITY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS GRANTED UNDER
CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE §1542 AND ANY OTHER PROVISION OF
LAW THAT PROVIDES A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND
TO CLAIMS THAT CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT
KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE
TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY
HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR
HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.
City's Initials: ______
b)Without limiting the foregoing, if City has actual knowledge of: (a) a default in
any of the covenants, agreements or obligations to be performed by County
under this Agreement and/or (b) any breach or inaccuracy in any representation

APNs 375-21-001 & 375-22-001
Page 7

of the County made in this Agreement, and City nonetheless elects to proceed
to the Closing , then, upon the consummation of the Closing, City shall be
conclusively deemed to have waived any such default and/or breach or
inaccuracy and shall have no Claim against County or hereunder with respect
thereto.
The provisions of this Section 7 shall survive the Closing.
