operations on or about the Properties and any neighboring properties. The Organization shall
3

5.Title Insurance; Survey. Upon request from by the Organization, and at theOrganization’s sole expense, the City shall deliver a written commitment by a title insurance company selected by the Organization (the “Title Company”) to issue to the Organization a
current ALTA Form owner's policy of title insurance with respect to the Properties in an amount
determined by the Organization (the “Title Commitment”). The Organization shall have the right to obtain, at its sole cost, a new or updated survey, in a form determined by the Organization (the “Survey”). The City's special warranty of title set forth in the deeds and the City's other representations and warranties, if any, with respect to the Properties shall be subject to all

Contingency Date (as later defined in Section 6). If the City fails to correct the Title Defects to the Organization's satisfaction in advance of the Contingency Date, the Organization may (a) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the City, or (b) waive Organization'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 the Organization 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 the Organization, shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception” hereunder.
6.Conditions Precedent to Closing; Contingencies. The City will convey title to the
Properties to the Organization only in the event that the South Bend Common Council, Economic
Development Commission of the City of South Bend, and Redevelopment Commission of the City
of South Bend fully approve the Loan Agreement by December 31, 2024 (the “Contingency
Date”). In the event that the Loan Agreement does not obtain all necessary approvals by the

herein is unacceptable to the Organization, then the Organization shall have the right to terminate
this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the City at any time on or before the
Contingency Date. Any failure by the Organization to give such notice shall constitute an election
by the Organization to not so terminate, in which event the Organization's right to terminate this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived. Following any termination of this Agreement,
4
the Parties shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, except
those obligations that expressly survive termination hereof.

hereunder have been satisfied or waived, the transfer of the Properties shall occur in three (3) different groupings over the span of three (3) years (each, a “Closing”).

writing.

Properties with respect to the year in which the Closing takes place and for all subsequent years.

Properties, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require the proration or other
apportionment of real property taxes or assessments resulting in the City’s liability therefor.
12.Entire Agreement; Severability. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
between the Parties and supersedes all prior discussions, understandings, or agreements between
the Parties concerning the transaction contemplated in this Agreement, whether written or oral. If

effect and will in no way be affected, impaired, or invalidated.

shall have any and all remedies available to it under this Agreement and otherwise at law or in
equity including, without limitation: (i) the right of specific performance; (ii) the right to terminate
this Agreement at any time after such default by delivering written notice of termination to the
defaulting Party; and/or (iii) the right to sue for damages, provided, however, that in no event shall
the City be liable for more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) in damages. All such remedies
of a non-defaulting Party shall be cumulative and not exclusive. If the Organization defaults under
this Agreement and fails to complete the post-closing development obligations set forth in Section
9, the City shall have the right to re-enter and take possession of the Properties and to terminate
and revest in the City the estate conveyed to the Organization at Closing and all of the
Organization’s rights and interests in the Properties without offset or compensation for the value
of any improvements made by the Organization. In the event City pursues legal action (including

attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses (including expert witness fees).

proceedings. This waiver is knowingly, intentionally, and voluntarily made by both Parties.
17.Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Indiana. Venue for any action concerning this Agreement
will be in the courts of St. Joseph County, Indiana.
18.Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay on the part of a Party to exercise anyright, remedy, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege preclude any other
or further exercise of the same or of any right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any
occurrence be construed as a waiver of any such right, remedy, power, or privilege with respect to any other occurrence. No waiver shall be effective unless it is in writing and is signed by the Party asserted to have granted such waiver.

incorporated into this Agreement.
