confirming the value of the gift, which obligation shall survive the conveyance of
the Subject Property to the City. However, City makes no representation as to the
extent or existence of Owner’s right to claim a charitable contribution to City
hereunder. Owner will be solely responsible for compliance with the gift value
substantiation requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as

City the right of access during the term of this Agreement, subject to the rights of any of Owner’s
tenants, for the purpose conducting the Due Diligence Activities. The City agrees to defend the
Owner from the claims of third parties relating to damage or personal injury occasioned by the
City’s right of access and conduct of Due Diligence Activities and to pay for the cost of any loss
or damage to the Subject Property or to the Owner resulting therefrom. In the event that this
Agreement is terminated by either party as provided for herein, the Subject Property shall be

0045243\177984\5321363v3
6. Termination During Due Diligence Period: The City shall have the absolute
right during the Due Diligence Period to terminate this Agreement for any or no reason. In order
to so terminate, the City shall send written notice of such termination to the Owner in the manner
set forth in Section 18 below on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (a
“Termination Notice”). In the event of such termination, the City shall return the Property
Information received by it, together with a copy of the results of Due Diligence Activities
conducted by it, if any, to the Owner; whereupon, this Agreement shall be terminated and all
parties shall be released from any further obligation or liability hereunder, except any as is stated
to survive the termination hereof. Failure of the City to send a Termination Notice in the manner
and within the time set forth herein shall waive the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 6 and the parties shall proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement.
7. Title Commitment and Survey: The City, at its option, within the Due Diligence
Period, may obtain a commitment for an owner's title insurance policy on ALTA Form B (a
"Commitment") in the amount of the Appraised Value issued by a national title insurance
company and/or its agents ("Title Company") evidencing that the Owner is vested with fee
simple marketable title to the Real Property, free and clear of all monetary liens and
encumbrances except for ad valorem real property taxes and general assessments; but subject to
restrictions, reservations, limitations, easements and conditions of record, if any (collectively, the
“Permitted Exceptions”).
(a) Title Examination and Objection Procedure. In the event the Commitment reveals
exceptions to title other than the Permitted Exceptions, the City shall have twenty
(20) days following receipt of the Commitment in which to review the matters set
forth in the Commitment and send written notice (a “Title Objection Notice”) to
the Owner specifying those exceptions to title revealed in the Commitment which
are not acceptable to the City and are not Permitted Exceptions (“Title
Objections”). Failure to send a Title Objection Notice within the foregoing period
shall constitute acceptance of the matters set forth in the Commitment.
8
0045243\177984\5321363v3
terminate this Agreement by written notice to the other party (a “Title
Termination Notice”). Failure to send a Title Termination Notice shall constitute
an election to waive the Title Objection(s) the Owner has not agreed to cure.
(c) Time for Cure. In the event the Owner elects to cure some or all of the Title
Objection(s) raised by the City, unless the Agreement has been otherwise
terminated, the Owner shall have up to sixty (60) days following its election to
cure (or such longer time as may be agreed by the parties) in which to accomplish
curative action to the satisfaction of the Title Company, such that it will delete the
applicable Title Objection(s) from the Commitment. In the event curative action is
not successful for one or more of the Title Objections the Owner has agreed to
cure, the City shall have the right, exercised in writing within fifteen (15) days
following the later of receipt of notice from the Owner that it was unable to cure
all such Title Objections or the expiration of the applicable curative period, either
to terminate the Agreement or to take title as it then is, subject to such uncured
Title Objection(s), and close this transaction. Failure to terminate by written
notice shall constitute an election to waive any such uncured Title Objections. The
Closing shall be extended as necessary to accommodate times for cure of Title
Objections, as set forth in this Section 7.
(d) Survey. The City shall have the right, at its own expense, to have the Real
Property surveyed by a surveyor licensed in the State of Florida prepared in
accordance with ALTA requirements (“Survey”). Any such Survey shall be
obtained within thirty
(30) days following the Effective Date and shall be certified to City, Owner and
the Title Company. To the extent the Survey reveals matters that are not Permitted
Exceptions, the City shall have ten (10) days following receipt thereof in which to
send a Title Objection Notice to the Owner. Survey objections set forth in a Title
Objection Notice sent in accordance herewith shall be dealt with in the same
manner and in the same times as any other Title Objections under this Section 7.
8. Post-Closing Use and Occupancy: City acknowledges and agrees that portions
of the building located on the Land will be subject to continued use and occupancy in accordance
with this Section 8. Three (3) tenants currently occupy and use portions of the building under
tenancies at will, with (i) one tenant using and occupying the space within the building

the right to use and occupy the Tenant Spaces for their current uses and purposes from the
Closing Date to and including June 30, 2018. At Closing, City and the tenants will execute
occupancy agreements pursuant to which the tenants will continue to use and occupy the Tenant
Spaces rent-free and as described above (together, the “Tenant Occupancy Agreements”);
Owner, the tenants and City will negotiate the terms and conditions of the Tenant Occupancy
Agreements in good faith and shall agree on the forms of the Tenant Occupancy Agreements
during the Due Diligence Period.

property taxes) which are due or come due as a result of the ownership of
the Subject Property or the operation thereof prior to 12:01 a.m. on the
Closing Date and which, if not paid, could result in a lien upon the Subject

replacement deposits for utilities as may be required by the respective
utility providers.
(vi) Utility Charges. Prior to the Closing, Owner will notify all utilities
servicing the Improvements of the prospective change in ownership and
direct that all future billings for services rendered after the Closing be
made to City with no interruption of service. To the extent possible, all

reproration or readjustment based upon the final determination of their accountants within 60
days following Closing, which obligation shall survive the Closing. Each party agrees to exercise
diligence and good faith in reaching agreement with respect to such prorations and adjustments.

Closing Date, for which there shall be no notice and opportunity to cure, neither party shall be in
default hereunder unless and until the party against whom a default is alleged has been given not

proceeding against the other party to enforce any of the covenants, conditions,
agreements, or provisions of this Agreement, the prevailing party in such action or
proceeding shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses of such
action or proceeding, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees,
charges, disbursements, and the fees and costs of expert witnesses. If any party
