AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE
AND ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
THIS AGREEMENT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE AND ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS
("Agreement") is made and entered into as of August _, 2003 ("Effective Date") by and
between WILLIAM HALL ("Seller"), and the CITY OF LA QUINTA, a California municipal
corporation ("Buyer").
RECITALS:
A. Seller is the owner of that certain real property located in the City of La Quinta,
County of Riverside, State of California, more particularly described in the legal description
attached hereto as Exhibit "A" (the "Property").
B. Buyer desires to purchase the Property from Seller, and Seller desires to sell the
Property to Buyer, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PURCHASE PRICE.
1.1 Amount. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Buyer hereby agrees to
purchase the Property from Seller and Seller agrees to sell the Property to Buyer, for the
purchase price of SEVENTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS ($74,000.00) ("Purchase Price").
1.2 Payment of Purchase Price. On or before 5:00 p.m. on the business day preceding
the "Closing Date" (as that term is defined in Section 4.1) or such earlier time as required by
"Escrow Holder" in order to close "Escrow" (as those terms are defined in Section 2.1) on the
Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder the Purchase Price.
2. ESCROW.
2.1 Opening of Escrow. Closing of the sale of the Property shall take place through
an escrow ("Escrow") to be established within three (3) business days after the execution of this
Agreement by the parties hereto, with Chicago Title ("Escrow Holder") at its office located at
72980 Fred Waring Drive, Suite B, Palm Desert, California, 92260. The opening of the Escrow
(the "Opening of Escrow") shall be deemed to be the date that a fully executed copy of this
Agreement is delivered to the Escrow Holder. Escrow Holder is instructed to notify Buyer and
Seller in writing of the date of the Opening of Escrow.
2.2 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement, once deposited in Escrow, shall constitute
the joint escrow instructions of Buyer and Seller to Escrow Holder. Additionally, if Escrow
1066/015610-0008
423374.01 a08/12/03 _ 1 _
Holder so requires, Buyer and Seller agree to execute the form of escrow instructions that
Escrow Holder customarily requires in real property escrows administered by it. In the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between Escrow Holder's standard instructions and the provisions
of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall supersede and be controlling.
3. TITLE MATTERS. Buyer shall obtain a preliminary title report prepared by Chicago
Title ("Title Company") describing the state of title of the Property together with copies of all
underlying documents (collectively, the "Preliminary Title Report"). Buyer may, at its sole cost
and expense, obtain a current survey of the Property (the "Survey"). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to remove all monetary encumbrances against the
Property excluding non -delinquent real property taxes (except as otherwise provided for in
Section 7 below). Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer may have to title
exceptions contained in the Preliminary Title Report or matters shown on the Survey (if Buyer
has obtained) no later than the date which is fifteen (15) days after the later of (i) its receipt of
the Preliminary Title Report or (ii) its receipt of the Survey ("Buyer's Objection Notice").
Buyer's approval or disapproval of the matters set forth in the Preliminary Title Report (and the
Survey, if applicable) may be granted or withheld in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion.
Buyer's failure to provide Seller with a Buyer's Objection Notice within said period shall
constitute Buyer's approval of all exceptions to title shown on the Preliminary Title Report and
all matters shown on the Survey (if Buyer has obtained). Seller shall have a period of five (5)
days after receipt of Buyer's Objection Notice in which to deliver written notice to Buyer
("Seller's Notice") of Seller's election to either (i) agree to remove the objectionable items on
the Preliminary Title Report or Survey prior to the Close of Escrow, or (ii) decline to remove any
such title exceptions or Survey matters and terminate Escrow and the obligations of Buyer and
Seller to purchase and sell the Property under this Agreement. Seller's failure to provide Buyer
with Seller's Notice within said period shall constitute Seller's election to remove the
objectionable items on the Preliminary Title Report. If Seller notifies Buyer of its election to
terminate rather than remove the objectionable items on the Preliminary Title Report or Survey,
Buyer shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) days after Buyer's
receipt of Seller's Notice, to agree to accept the Property subject to the objectionable items, in
which event Seller's election to terminate shall be of no effect, and Buyer shall take title at the
Close of Escrow subject to such objectionable items without any adjustment to or credit against
the Purchase Price. All exceptions to title shown on the Preliminary Title Report, other than
those which Seller may agree to remove pursuant to this Section 3, shall be deemed to have been
approved by Buyer unless Seller is notified otherwise in writing.
Upon the issuance of any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title
Report which adds additional exceptions, including any survey exceptions, the foregoing right of
review and approval shall also apply to said amendment or supplement. The process set forth
above for Buyer's review and Seller's response shall apply to any review and response with
respect to any amendment or supplement to the Preliminary Title Report, and the Closing shall
be extended for such period as is necessary to allow for that review and response process to be
completed.

4. CLOSE OF ESCROW.
4.1 Close of Escrow; Closing Date. Provided that all of the conditions of this
Agreement precedent to the "Close of Escrow" (as hereinafter defined) have been satisfied (or
waived by the appropriate party) prior to or on the Closing Date, the Closing of this transaction
for the sale and purchase of the Property shall take place on the date which is five (5) days after
the date on which all of "Buyer's Conditions to Closing" and all of "Seller's Conditions to
Closing" (as those terms are defined in Section 8) have been satisfied (or waived by the
appropriate party) ("Closing Date"). The terms Close of Escrow and the Closing are use
herein to mean the time Seller's grant deed conveying fee title to the Property to Buyer is
recorded in the Official Records of the Office of the County Recorder of Riverside ("Official
Records"). If Escrow is not in a condition to close by the Closing Date, either party not then in
default hereunder may, upon five (5) days advance written notice to the other party and Escrow
Holder, elect to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow. No such termination shall release
either party then in default from liability for such default. If neither party so elects to terminate
this Agreement and the Escrow, Escrow Holder shall close the Escrow as soon as possible.
4.2 Recordation; Release of Funds and Documents.
4.2.1 Escrow Holder is directed, on the Closing Date, to record in the Official
Records, the following documents in the order listed: (i) the grant deed (in the form attached

(d) title exceptions approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to
Section 3 above;

Policy with coverage up to the amount of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay any additional
coverage or endorsements it requests. Buyer may, at its election and expense, request an ALTA
extended policy of title insurance. Buyer shall also pay for the Survey, if applicable.
7. REAL PROPERTY TAXES AND ASSESSMENTS. Upon Buyer's acquisition of fee
title to the Property, the Property will be exempt from the payment of property taxes due to
Buyer's status as a public agency. Seller shall be responsible for paying (through Escrow at
Closing) all property taxes and assessments which are of record as of the Closing Date and/or
have accrued against the Property prior to (and including) the Closing Date (notwithstanding
whether such taxes and/or assessments are due and payable as of the Closing Date). Seller
hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller is obligated to completely payoff, at Closing, any
amounts outstanding under the City of La Quinta Assessment District 2000-1 (notwithstanding
whether such assessment is due and payable as of the Closing Date). Seller shall also be
responsible for paying for all property taxes or assessments assessed against the Property after
