<br /> desirability of the Property and are not readily observable nor known to the buyer/tenant, including,but not limited to, facts
<br /> regarding hazardous materials, zoning, construction, design, engineering, soils, title, survey, fire/life safety, proneness to
<br /> natural hazards such as earthquakes, and other matters, and to provide buyers/tenants with copies of all reports in the
<br /> possession of or accessible to sellers/landlords regarding the Property. Sellers/landlords and buyers/tenants must comply

<br /> 1964 Civil Rights Act and all amendments thereto, the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act, the Comprehensive
<br /> Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act,and The Americans With Disabilities Act.
<br /> Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA). The Americans With Disabilities Act(42 United States Code §12101 et seq.)and
<br /> other federal, state and local requirements may require changes to the Property. Have your experts investigate and evaluate
<br /> these matters.
<br /> Taxes. Sales, leases and other real estate transactions can have federal, state and local tax consequences. In sales
<br /> transactions, Internal Revenue Code §1445 requires buyers to withhold and pay to the IRS 15% of the gross sales price
<br /> within 20 days of the date of a sale unless the buyers can establish that the sellers are not foreigners,generally by having the
<br /> sellers sign a Non-Foreign Seller Affidavit. Depending on the structure of the transaction, the tax withholding liability can
<br /> exceed the net cash proceeds to be paid to sellers at closing. Have your experts investigate and evaluate these matters.
<br /> Flood Zones. Many lenders require flood insurance for properties located in flood zones, and government authorities may
<br /> regulate development and construction in flood zones. Whether or not located in a flood zone, properties can be subject to
<br /> flooding and moisture problems, especially properties on a slope or in low-lying areas. Buyers/tenants should have their
<br /> experts confirm whether the Property is in a flood zone and otherwise investigate and evaluate these matters.
<br /> Fires. Properties,whether or not located in a fire hazard zone,are subject to fire/life safety risks and may be subject to state
<br /> and local fire/life safety-related requirements, including retrofit requirements. Have your experts investigate and evaluate
<br /> these matters.

<br /> construction materials used,the Property may have hazardous or undesirable metals (including but not limited to lead-based
<br /> paint),minerals(including but not limited to asbestos),chemicals,hydrocarbons,petroleum-related compounds,or biological
<br /> or radioactive/emissive items (including but not limited to electrical and magnetic fields) in soils, water, building
<br /> components, above or below-ground tanks/containers or elsewhere in areas that may or may not be accessible or noticeable.
<br /> Such items may leak or otherwise be released. If the Property was built before 1978 and has a residential unit,
<br /> sellers/landlords must disclose all reports, surveys and other information known to them regarding lead-based paint to
<br /> buyers/tenants and allow for inspections (42 United States Code §4851 et seq.). Have your experts investigate and evaluate
<br /> these matters.
<br /> Property Inspections and Evaluations. Buyers/tenants should have the Property thoroughly inspected and all parties
<br /> should have the transaction thoroughly evaluated by the experts of their choice. Ask your experts what investigations and
<br /> evaluations may be appropriate as well as the risks of not performing any such investigations or evaluations. Information
<br /> regarding the Property supplied by the real estate brokers has been received from third party sources and has not been
<br /> independently verified by the brokers. Have your experts verify all information regarding the Property, including any linear
<br /> or area measurements, the availability of all utilities, applicable zoning, and entitlements for the intended use. All work
<br /> should be inspected and evaluated by your experts, as they deem appropriate. Any projections or estimates are for example
<br /> only, are based on assumptions that may not occur, and do not represent the current or future performance of the property.
