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. 2156/015610-0047 1062802.02 a0120/10 -3- 5.2 Recordation; Release of Funds and Documents. 5.2.1 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 hereto as Exhibit `B") transferring title to the Property to Buyer ("Grant Deed"); and (ii) such other and further documents as may be directed jointly by Buyer and Seller. 5.2.2 Upon the Closing, Escrow Holder shall deliver (i) the Purchase Price, less any amount to pay property taxes and/or assessments allocable to Seller pursuant to Section 8, and (ii) conformed copies of all recorded documents to both Buyer and Seller. 6.

TITLE INSURANCE POLICY. 7.1 Title Policy. At the Closing Date, the Title Company, as insurer, shall issue a CLTA owner's standard coverage policy of title insurance ("Title Policy"), in favor of Buyer, as insured, showing Buyer as fee title owner of the Property, with liability in the amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to the following (the "Permitted Exceptions"): (a) non -delinquent real property taxes, subject to Seller's obligations to pay certain taxes pursuant to Section 8 below; 2156/015610-0047 1062802.02 a01/20/10 -4- (b) covenants, conditions, restrictions and reservations of record that do not interfere with the Buyer's proposed use of the Property, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Buyer; (c) easements or rights -of -way over the Property for public or quasi -public utility or public street purposes; (d) title exceptions approved or deemed approved by Buyer pursuant to Section 4.2 above; (e) any other exceptions approved by Buyer; and (f) the standard printed conditions and exceptions contained in the CLTA standard owner's policy of title insurance regularly issued by the Title Company. 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 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. 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 Date). Buyer hereby acknowledges and agrees that Buyer will provide the funds necessary to completely payoff, at Closing, any amounts outstanding under the City of La Quinta Assessment District 2000-1.
