use or Buyer’s intended operations may, among other things, be affected by operations being
conducted at the Plant, including being downwind from noxious odors emanating from the Plant,

bring any claim associated with such location or condition(s), including, but not limited to, a claim
for nuisance, interference with the Property for its intended use, interference with business
opportunities or diminution in property value.
b.
Buyer acknowledges that the City has made disclosed historic and current use(s)
and that certain Site and/or Environmental Conditions (as defined below) may exist that limits the
Property’s future use or that may subject Buyer to certain environmental liabilities. Buyer
nonetheless agrees that it is purchasing the Property on an “as is” basis and “with all faults” basis.

complete investigation and inspection of the Property and that Buyer has had an opportunity to
make full inquiry of Seller as to all matters Buyer deemed relevant in evaluating the Property.

documents delivered at Closing, Seller has made no representations or warranties and has no
continuing responsibility or liability regarding the Property, including, without limitation, its
physical condition and its “Environmental Condition” (as defined below). Buyer further agrees, as
provided elsewhere in this Agreement, to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any claim for
any Environmental Condition, as defined herein, brought by any third party. Buyer is not relying
in any way upon any representations, statements, agreements, warranties, studies, plans, reports,
descriptions, guidelines or other information or material furnished by Seller or its representatives,
whether oral or written, express or implied, of any nature whatsoever, except as expressly provided
in this Agreement or the documents delivered at Closing. Further, nothing in this Agreement
requires Seller to conduct any investigation or commission any reports or studies to assess the
Environmental Condition (as defined below) of the Property.
c.
For purposes of this Agreement, “Environmental Condition” shall mean any
condition with respect to soil, surface water or groundwater at, from or below the Property or other
conditions present at the Property. Such conditions need not be in violation of Environmental Laws
(as herein defined), require remedial action, and/or cause, result in, give rise to or have the potential
Page 6 of 13
to give rise to any claims, demands, and/or liabilities to third parties, including, but not limited to,
governmental entities.
d.

relinquishes any and all rights and remedies Buyer may now or in the future have against Seller,

iii.
Buyer’s failure to restore the Property in accordance with this Section 6.
This indemnification shall survive the Close of Escrow or any early termination of this Agreement;

Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Due Diligence Period in which to notify

set forth in the Title Commitment and Survey not set forth in said notice shall be deemed to be a
“Permitted Exception” to the title, and the Deed and Title Policy delivered at Closing may be
subject thereto. If no such notice is given, it shall be deemed that Buyer has agreed to accept the
Property subject to the matters shown in the Title Commitment and Survey, and this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect. Seller shall have ten (10) days from receipt of Buyer’s notice
(the “Cure Period”) in which to remedy the Defects or to obtain title insurance by the Title
Company insuring over and against such Defects (the premium for which shall be paid by Seller)
and provide evidence satisfactory to Buyer thereof. If Seller fails to remedy such Defects or obtain
such title insurance within the Cure Period, Buyer shall have the option exercisable within ten (10)
days after the expiration of Seller’s Cure Period to agree to accept a conveyance of title subject to
such Defects, and proceed with this Agreement (in which event the Title Commitment and the
Deed will be accepted subject to any such Defects as Permitted Exceptions) or, give written notice
to Seller to terminate this Agreement, and thereafter no party hereto shall have any claims, rights,
duties, obligations, or liabilities to another party hereto by virtue of this Agreement, except those
which herein are expressly stated to survive any termination of this Agreement, and the Earnest
Money and Extension Deposits shall be returned to Buyer. If Buyer makes no election, it shall be
deemed that Buyer has agreed to accept title “As Is” subject to the Defects, and this Agreement
shall remain in full force and effect.
c.
To the extent any defects, exceptions or encumbrances arise and appear on the Title
Commitment subsequent to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period but prior to the Closing
Page 8 of 13
Date (“Subsequent Defects”), Seller shall determine whether Seller is able to cure and/or insure
over the same. To the extent Seller elects not to or is unable to cure the Subsequent Defects, Buyer,
at its sole option, may proceed with this Agreement (in which event the Title Commitment and the
Deed will be accepted subject to any such Subsequent Defects) or, give written notice to Seller to
terminate this Agreement, and thereafter no party hereto shall have any claims, rights, duties,
obligations, or liabilities to another party hereto by virtue of this Agreement, except those which
herein are expressly stated to survive any termination of this Agreement.
8.

Agreement.

Agreement granting Buyer an ingress/egress easement through City-owned Parcel No. 143-23-
023N and the remainder of Parcel No. 143-23-023L.
b.
Access to Adjacent Parcels. Glendale will use good faith efforts to facilitate, and
to reasonably participate in discussions among TERRELL, the Railroad and SRP to negotiate and
enter into an agreement whereby TERRELL obtains the right to access, cross and use those
portions of Parcels No. 143-23-040-A and 143-23-026-B; provided, however that: (A) Glendale

as to such matters or use; and (B) Glendale shall have no obligation to expend funds in connection
with such agreement.

be obtained at the sole responsibility and cost of the Buyer. If Buyer is unable or unwilling to

to, applicable to the City’s Oasis Water Treatment plant or its operations. Buyer also agrees not to
challenge, object to or otherwise seek to change, impact or adversely affect the existing operations
of City, including its Oasis Water Treatment Plant, even if such existing operations interfere with
or constitute a nuisance to Buyer’s operations or ownership interest in the Property.
e.
Buyer has disclosed to Seller that it plans to use the Property for a steel fabrication facility
which will include the cutting, welding, painting and transportation of steel. Seller believes that
the operation of a steel fabrication business on the property as described above should not interfere
with the normal operations of the Plant or Sewer Line. Without limiting any rights of the City in
this Agreement, Buyer specifically agrees to comply with any and all direction(s), guidance,
limitations, restrictions, plan, operations, tasks or requirements imposed by the City, State or
Federal government to prepare for, respond to or recover from any emergency, including a local
emergency, natural or man-made disaster that affects or threatens to affect the health, safety and
welfare of the citizens of Glendale or its surrounding or adjacent areas. Buyer has the right, at its
sole cost and expense, to contest the validity of any direction(s), guidance, limitations, restrictions,
plan, operations, tasks or requirements imposed by the City applicable to the Property by
appropriate proceedings diligently conducted in good faith provided, however, that no such contest
will subject the other party to any liability, cost, expense or penalty or delay any response ordered
by any governmental entity.

Casualty or Condemnation. If, on or before the Closing Date, all or any part of the Property
is destroyed or damaged by fire or any other cause, or if eminent domain proceedings are instituted
by a governmental entity other than the Seller, or a notice of condemnation is given, with respect
to all or a portion of the Property, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer thereof. If such damage or
destruction is repaired at the sole cost and expense of Seller prior to Closing to substantially the
same condition existing prior to such damage or destruction, or if such damage or destruction does

returned to Buyer, whereupon no party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities
hereunder except those which survive termination. In the event of any un- repaired damage or
eminent domain proceedings which would permit termination hereunder and neither party elects
to terminate, or if Buyer is required to proceed hereunder, the Deed shall be subject to any such
eminent domain proceeding, such taking shall be deemed a Permitted Exception, and Seller shall
deliver to Buyer on the Closing Date an assignment in a form reasonably satisfactory to Buyer of
