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 January 20, 2010 ("Effective Date") by and
between Jose P. Simo and Carmelita P. Simo, husband and wife as joint tenants (collectively,
"Seller") and the LA QUINTA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, a public body corporate and
politic ("Buyer").
RECITALS:
A. Seller represents and warrants that they are the sole and exclusive fee title owners
of approximately 0.90 acres of vacant and unimproved real property located in the City of La
Quinta, County of Riverside, State of California, which real property is generally located on the
south side of Westward Ho Drive east of Dune Palms Road, is identified for assessment purposes
as APN 600-030-005 and is more particularly described in the legal description attached hereto
as Exhibit "A" (the "Real Property").
B. Buyer desires to purchase the Property (as that term is defined below) from Seller,
and Seller desires to sell the Property to Buyer, on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
C. On May 25, 2007, Buyer issued an offer letter to Seller indicating Buyer's
intention to acquire the Property; Buyer is acquiring the Property for the public purpose of
developing the Real Property as an affordable housing project.
D. Seller represents and warrants that they are not displaced persons, as that term is
defined and used in the California Relocation Assistance Act (Cal. Govt. Code §§ 7260 et seq.)
or in the Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Guidelines (25 Cal. Code Regs.
§§ 6000 et seq.) because they do not occupy the Property, nor are they moving from the
Property. On that basis Seller represents and warrants that they are not entitled to relocation
assistance and expressly disclaim and waive any right, title or interest to such assistance.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals, which are incorporated
into this Agreement, and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. PROPERTY. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement,
and for the consideration herein set forth, Seller hereby agrees to sell to Buyer and Buyer hereby
agrees to purchase from Seller the Real Property and Seller's interest in and to any
improvements and all tenements, hereditaments and appurtenances thereto, subject to the
Permitted Exceptions (as that term is defined in Section 7.1). The Real Property, the
improvements, and the Personal Property are hereinafter collectively referred to as the
"Property."
2156/015610-0047
1062802.02 a01/20/10 ' 1-
2. PURCHASE PRICE
2.1 Amount. The purchase price which Seller agrees to accept and Buyer agrees to
pay for the Property is the sum of TWO HUNDRED NINETY FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
($295,000.00) ("Purchase Price"). The parties agree that the Purchase Price reflects the full
payment that Seller will receive from Buyer for the Property.
2.2 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 5.1) or such earlier time as required by
"Escrow Holder" in order to close "Escrow" (as those terms are defined in Section 4.1) on the
Closing Date, Buyer shall deposit with Escrow Holder the Purchase Price.
3. INTENTIONALLY DELETED
4.1 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 Four Seasons Escrow, Inc. ("Escrow Holder") at its office
located at 47-350 Washington Avenue, Suite 101, La Quinta, California 92253. 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.
4.2 Escrow Instructions. This Agreement, once deposited in Escrow, shall constitute
the joint escrow instructions of Buyer and Seller to Escrow Holder. Additionally, if Escrow
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. The
parties additionally agree to the Escrow Holder's standard terms, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit E and to the additional supplemental instructions contained in Exhibit F.
TITLE MATTERS. Buyer shall obtain a preliminary title report prepared by Fidelity National
Title ("Title Company"), located at 301 E. Vanderbilt Way #400, San Bernardino, CA 92408,
describing the state of title of the Property together with copies of all underlying documents and
a map of plotted easements (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 8 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
2156/015610-0047
1062802.02 a0120/10 -2-
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 5, 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.
5. CLOSE OF ESCROW.
5.1 Close of Escrow; Closing Date. Provided that all of the conditions of this
Agreement precedent to the "Close of Escrow" (as hereinafter defined) as set forth in Section 9
below 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 or
before February 26, 2010 ("Outside Closing Date"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer
and Seller agree to advance the Closing, and so long as all of "Buyer's Conditions to Closing"
and all of "Seller's Conditions to Closing" (as those terms are defined in Section 9) have been
satisfied (or waived by the appropriate party), Seller and Buyer may elect to authorize the
Closing before the Outside Closing Date. The terms "Close of Escrow", "Closing Date" and the
"Closing" are used 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 Outside 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.

certain taxes pursuant to Section 8 below;

1062802.02 a01/20/10 -4-
(b) covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations of record that do not

7.2 Payment for Title Policy. Buyer shall be responsible for the charges for the Title
Policy with coverage up to the amount of the Purchase Price. Buyer shall pay any additional

extended policy of title insurance. Buyer shall also pay for the Survey, if applicable.
8. 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 real and personal 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
