Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement,
Seller's cooperation with Buyer in connection with Buyer's due diligence review of the Property,

Property, shall not be construed as any warranty or representation, express, implied or statutory,
of any kind with respect to the condition of the Property.

below, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that prior to Closing it will have had an opportunity to
inspect and investigate every aspect of the Property, including all matters related to legal status

4907-9224-5325 v15 6
all other matters of significance. Except for and subject to the representations, warranties, and
covenants of Seller expressly set forth in this Agreement, Buyer specifically acknowledges and
agrees that the Property is being sold in an “AS-IS” condition and “WITH ALL FAULTS” as

warranties, or covenants have been made or are made and no responsibility has been or is
assumed by Seller, or by any officer, employee, agent or representative acting or purporting to
act on behalf of Seller, as to any matters concerning, or that might in any manner affect, the
Property, including the condition or repair of the Property or the value, expense of operation, or
income potential thereof, and Buyer is not relying upon any such statement, representation or
warranty. Further, to the extent that Seller has provided to Buyer information or reports
regarding any inspection, engineering, environmental or other matters regarding any aspect of
the Property, Seller makes no representations or warranties with respect to the accuracy,
completeness, methodology of preparation or otherwise concerning the contents of such reports.
Buyer acknowledges that Seller has requested that Buyer inspect fully the Property and
investigate all matters relevant thereto and to rely solely upon the results of Buyer’s own

NON-FOREIGN AFFIDAVIT
(entity)
Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code provides that a transferee (buyer) of a U.S. real
property interest must withhold tax if the transferor (seller) is a foreign person or entity. For U.S. tax
purposes (including Section 1445), the owner of a disregarded entity (which has legal title to a U.S. real
property interest under local law) will be the transferor of the property and not the disregarded entity. To
inform the transferee that withholding of tax is not required upon the disposition of a U.S. real property
interest by _________________________________________ (“Transferor”), the undersigned hereby
certifies the following, on behalf of Transferor:
1. Transferor is not a foreign corporation, foreign partnership, foreign trust or foreign estate (as
those terms are defined in the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations). Transferor is
not a non-resident alien for purposes of U.S. income taxation.
2. Transferor is not a disregarded entity as defined in Section 1.1445-2(b)(iii).
3. Transferor’s U.S. employer identification number is ____________.
4. Transferor’s office address is: ________________
________________
________________
Transferor understands that this certification may be disclosed to the Internal Revenue Service by the
transferee and that any false statement contained herein could be punished by fine, imprisonment, or both.
Under penalty of perjury, I declare that I have examined this certificate and to the best of my
knowledge and belief, it is true, correct and complete.

Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
ELECTRONIC RECORD AND SIGNATURE DISCLOSURE
From time to time, City of San Rafael (we, us or Company) may be required by law to provide to you certain written
notices or disclosures. Described below are the terms and conditions for providing to you such notices and disclosures
electronically through the DocuSign system. Please read the information below carefully and thoroughly, and if you can
access this information electronically to your satisfaction and agree to this Electronic Record and Signature Disclosure
(ERSD), please confirm your agreement by selecting the check-box next to ‘I agree to use electronic records and
signatures’ before clicking ‘CONTINUE’ within the DocuSign system.
Getting paper copies
At any time, you may request from us a paper copy of any record provided or made available electronically to you by us.
You will have the ability to download and print documents we send to you through the DocuSign system during and
immediately after the signing session and, if you elect to create a DocuSign account, you may access the documents for a
limited period of time (usually 30 days) after such documents are first sent to you. After such time, if you wish for us to
send you paper copies of any such documents from our office to you, you will be charged a $0.00 per-page fee. You may
request delivery of such paper copies from us by following the procedure described below.
Withdrawing your consent
If you decide to receive notices and disclosures from us electronically, you may at any time change your mind and tell us
that thereafter you want to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format. How you must inform us of your
decision to receive future notices and disclosure in paper format and withdraw your consent to receive notices and
disclosures electronically is described below.
Consequences of changing your mind
If you elect to receive required notices and disclosures only in paper format, it will slow the speed at which we can
complete certain steps in transactions with you and delivering services to you because we will need first to send the
required notices or disclosures to you in paper format, and then wait until we receive back from you your
acknowledgment of your receipt of such paper notices or disclosures. Further, you will no longer be able to use the
DocuSign system to receive required notices and consents electronically from us or to sign electronically documents from
us.
All notices and disclosures will be sent to you electronically
Unless you tell us otherwise in accordance with the procedures described herein, we will provide electronically to you
through the DocuSign system all required notices, disclosures, authorizations, acknowledgements, and other documents
that are required to be provided or made available to you during the course of our relationship with you. To reduce the
chance of you inadvertently not receiving any notice or disclosure, we prefer to provide all of the required notices and
disclosures to you by the same method and to the same address that you have given us. Thus, you can receive all the
disclosures and notices electronically or in paper format through the paper mail delivery system. If you do not agree with
this process, please let us know as described below. Please also see the paragraph immediately above that describes the
consequences of your electing not to receive delivery of the notices and disclosures electronically from us.
How to contact City of San Rafael:
You may contact us to let us know of your changes as to how we may contact you electronically, to request paper copies
of certain information from us, and to withdraw your prior consent to receive notices and disclosures electronically as
follows: To contact us by email send messages to: city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org
To advise City of San Rafael of your new email address
To let us know of a change in your email address where we should send notices and disclosures electronically to you, you
must send an email message to us at city.clerk@cityofsanrafael.org and in the body of such request you must state: your
