In furtherance of its purposes under the Act, Seller owns the real property described in Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein (collectively, the “Property”). C. Pursuant to the Act, Seller adopted its Resolution No. 3568 on January 26, 2023, whereby Seller established a total offering price of Seventy-Two Thousand Nine Hundred and Fifty-Two Dollars ($72,952.00) (the “Appraised Value”) for the Property and other adjacent lots.

In accordance with Section 22 of the Act, Seller now desires to sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase the Property from Seller, on the terms stated in this Agreement. NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants and conditions contained in this Agreement, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows: 1. AGREEMENT TO SELL AND PURCHASE; ACCEPTANCE DATE. Seller shall sell the Property to Buyer, and Buyer shall purchase the Property from Seller, pursuant to the covenants, provisions and other terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. The Property shall include certain parcels of land described in Exhibit A and the transferable improvements, fixtures, easements, licenses, permits and all of Seller's other rights, title and interest appurtenant and otherwise relating thereto. The “Acceptance Date” as referenced herein from time to time, shall mean the latest date upon which all parties to this Agreement execute the Agreement and deliver such executed Agreement to all other parties hereto. 2. PURCHASE PRICE; EARNEST MONEY. The purchase price for the Property shall be One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) (the “Purchase Price”), payable by Buyer to Seller in cash at the closing described in Section 7 below. Buyer shall submit to Seller earnest money in the amount of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) (the “Earnest Money”) on or before the Acceptance Date. Seller will hold such Earnest Money unless and until it is to be disposed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and will bear no interest for any period of time. The Earnest Money shall be refundable until the expiration or waiver of Buyer’s Contingency (as defined in Section 4(c) below), at which time the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable, except as provided herein, but shall remain applicable to the Purchase Price at Closing (as defined below). 3. PROPERTY INFORMATION; CONTRACTS. Within fifteen (15) days of the Acceptance Date, Seller shall provide Buyer, to the extent not previously provided, and to the extent in Seller's possession or control, copies of any and all reports, contracts, leases, guaranties, warranties, and surveys relating to the Property or relevant to a reasonable Buyer's determination whether to purchase the Property (the “’Property Information”). Seller further agrees to deliver promptly to Buyer copies of any additional Property Information that Seller obtains prior to Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall terminate any and all property management, maintenance, lawn care, snow plowing and other contracts and agreements relating to the Property, unless Buyer has consented to the continuation of any such contract or agreement. 4. INVESTIGATION; BUYER’S CONTINGENCY; INDEMNIFICATION; INSURANCE. A. Seller acknowledges that Buyer contemplates acquiring the Property for Buyer’s intended use of the Property as income-based, multi-family housing with a minimum ten (10) housing units (the “Intended Use”). From and after the Acceptance Date, and upon Buyer providing Seller with evidence that Buyer has commercial general liability insurance reasonably acceptable to Seller in the amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, Buyer and its agents shall have the right, but no obligation, at its sole cost: (i) to enter upon the Property to conduct the tests, inspections, studies, assessments and investigations contemplated under this Agreement at any time and from time to time (collectively, "Tests"); and (ii) to make such Tests of the Property and information with respect to the Property, the Intended Use and/or this Agreement, all as Buyer may deem desirable, including, without limitation: [a] any environmental assessment, evaluation or study (including a "Phase I" environmental site assessment); and [b] topographic, engineering, traffic, parking and other feasibility studies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will not conduct any invasive Tests, including, without limitation, Phase II environmental assessments or soil borings, without Seller's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Buyer shall conduct all Tests at a time and in a manner as to reasonably minimize interference with Seller's operation on or about the Property and any neighboring properties. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its officials, members, employees, agents, contractors, lessees, licensees, invitees, successors and assigns harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including attorneys' fees, court costs, and costs of investigation) arising out of or in connection with the Tests or the entry on to the Property by Buyer or its agents. From and after the Acceptance Date, Seller agrees that Seller shall, at the request of Buyer and without cost to Seller, cooperate with Buyer in connection with any and all private and governmental approvals, rezoning, land subdivisions and other matters necessary for Buyer's Intended Use. B. In addition to any and all other conditions and contingencies in this Agreement, Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are hereby conditioned upon Buyer's receipt of a low-income housing tax credit (“LIHTC”) reservation from the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority (“IHCDA”) for the Intended Use. If the LIHTC reservation is not received within one hundred and forty (140) days of IHCDA accepting Buyer's application for review, this Agreement shall terminate at Buyer’s election and in such event all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer. Buyer represents that IHCDA intends to accept project applications on or around July 26, 2023 and announce reservations ("Reservation") on or about November 17, 2023. In the event Buyer fails to submit its application to IHCDA prior to the published deadline this Agreement shall terminate and all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer. In the event that Buyer obtains a LIHTC Reservation from IHCDA but is unable to obtain a commitment for an equity investment from a tax credit investor on terms that are satisfactory to Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion and in an amount sufficient for the Intended Use, within six (6) months after obtaining the LIHTC Reservation from IHCDA, despite Buyer's best reasonable efforts, this Agreement shall terminate at Buyer’s election and in such event all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer. C. If at any time on or before December 31, 2024 (the “Contingency Date”), Buyer determines, for any reason, in Buyer's sole discretion, that the Property or the transaction described herein is unacceptable to Buyer, then Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller at any time on or before the Contingency Date in which event, at Buyer’s election, all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer (“Buyer's Contingency”). Any failure by Buyer to give such notice shall constitute an election by Buyer to not so terminate, in which event Buyer's right to terminate this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived. Following any termination of this Agreement, the parties shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except those obligations that expressly survive termination hereof. D. In anticipation of performing its obligations under Section 9 below, Buyer will prepare plans and specifications for constructing a new building on the Property and all other related improvements (collectively, the “Property Improvements”), including plans and specifications for the manner in which the new building will be designed (the “Construction Plan”). Buyer agrees to cooperate with the Executive Director, or his designee, of the City’s Department of Community Investment (the “City”) in developing its Construction Plan. 5. TITLE INSURANCE; SURVEY. Within thirty (30) days of the Acceptance Date, Seller, at Buyer’s sole cost, shall deliver a written commitment by a title insurance company selected by Buyer (the “Title Company”) to issue to Buyer a current ALTA Form owner's policy of title insurance with respect to the Property in an amount determined by Buyer (the “Title Commitment”). Buyer shall have the right to obtain, at Buyer’s sole cost, a new or updated survey, in a form determined by Buyer (the “Survey”). Seller's special warranty of title set forth in the deed and Seller's other representations and warranties, if any, with respect to the Property shall be subject to all exceptions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement and all matters disclosed on the Title Commitment or Survey including, without limitation, all easements, covenants, conditions, restrictions, requirements, standard exceptions and special exceptions, except for monetary liens which will be paid out of Closing. If the Title Commitment or Survey discloses any matters unacceptable to Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, (the “Title Defects”), Buyer shall notify Seller of such Title Defects no later than ninety (90) days before the Contingency Date. If Seller fails to correct the Title Defects to Buyer's satisfaction in advance of the Contingency Date, Buyer may (a) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and all Earnest Money shall be returned to Buyer, or (b) waive Buyer's objection to such Title Defects and take title subject to the same. Any title exceptions contained on the Title Commitment and not objected to by Buyer in accordance with this Section 5, or a title exception that shall be objected to initially, but such objection thereto is later waived or acquiesced to by Buyer, shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception” hereunder. 6.

Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that all of the following are true, correct and complete on and as of the date hereof, and shall continue to be true, correct and complete as of the Closing Date: 1.
