In the course of its investigations Purchaser may make inquiries to third parties including, without limitation, lenders, contractors, and municipal, local, and other government officials and representatives, and Seller consents to such inquiries. Purchaser shall keep the Property free and clear of any liens and will indemnify, defend, and hold Seller harmless from all claims and liabilities asserted against Seller as a result of any such entry by Purchaser, its agents, employees, or representatives, excluding any claims or liabilities arising from Purchaser’s discovery of any condition relating to the Property.

Purchaser’s efforts to obtain the Development Approvals shall be at its sole cost and expense (including the posting of any fiscal requirements). Development Approvals shall include, without limitation, a Concept Plan (as defined in the City Code of Ordinances) for the entire Proposed Project, a Detail Plan (as defined in the City Code of Ordinances) for the Proposed Project for each Phase, and any approvals required under any declaration of covenants, conditions and restrictions or any other private agreement affecting the Proposed Project for each Phase. Purchaser shall submit to the City its proposed Concept Plan for the entire Proposed Project and the Property within 30 days after the end of the Due Diligence Period. Purchaser shall not be obligated to close the transaction for each Phase unless Final Approval of the Development Approvals (defined below) has occurred with respect to all Development Approvals required for the Proposed Project for the respective Phase. By way of example, Development Approvals required for the Phase I Project includes, among other things, a Concept Plan for the entire Proposed Project and a Detail Plan for the Phase I Project. “Final Approval of the Development Approvals” means that the Development Approvals must be without conditions or restrictions (including the payment of assessments or the posting of security) that are unacceptable to Purchaser, as determined by Purchaser in its reasonable discretion, and that all appeal periods with respect to the Development Approvals shall have expired without any appeal having been filed or, if filed, such appeal shall have been resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser.

Such plats and dedications shall be made and granted by Seller at such time as is required by the applicable governmental authority. The Property description and Survey shall be revised to take into account de minimis changes to the Property boundaries requested by Purchaser that are necessary to permit the development of the Proposed Project.

If Purchaser determines at any time that, in spite of the use of its commercially reasonable and diligent efforts, it has been or will be unable to obtain Final Approval of the Development Approvals for a Phase by the Outside Closing Date for the respective Phase, then Purchaser may, by delivering written notice to Seller at least 30 days before the applicable Outside Closing Date, (i) terminate this Agreement (such notice is a “Development Approvals Termination Notice”); or (ii) waive the condition for Final Approval of the Development Approvals for the respective Phase and proceed with the Closing for the respective Phase on such date to which the parties may mutually agree, but in any event, no later than the Outside Closing Date for the respective Phase, as it may have been extended under Section 1.2.

Provided Seller complies with the previous sentence, Escrow Agent shall disburse funds from the FPI Escrow Agreement directly to Seller within two Business Days after Seller delivers written request for such funds to Escrow Agent and Purchaser, with no confirmation required from Purchaser. So long as the FPI Escrow Amount is funded at the Closing for the Phase I Property, Seller’s obligation to construct the Flood Plain Improvements and obtain FPI Final Approval at its cost and expense shall not be conditioned on the amount or adequacy of funds available in the FPI Escrow Account.

(d)          FPI Final Approval. Seller shall have achieved FPI Final Approval within 180 days after the Closing for the Phase I Property (the “FPI Final Approval Date”). If FPI Final Approval does not occur by the FPI Final Approval Date, then, in addition to any other remedy Purchaser has under this Agreement, the Outside Closing Date for the Phase II Property and the Outside Closing Date for the Phase III Property shall be extended automatically by one day for each day after the FPI Final Approval Date until FPI Final Approval occurs.

Such obligation shall not be construed to negate, abridge, or reduce other rights or obligations of indemnity which would otherwise exist as to a party or person described in this Section 2.7(h). Seller shall indemnify, hold harmless (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses) and defend Purchaser and Purchaser's lenders, if any, from and against any assertion of lien claims by the FPI Contractor, any FPI Consultant, or any subcontractor, material or equipment supplier and against any assertion of security interests by suppliers of goods or materials in connection with the Flood Plain Improvements.

If, after the Closing for the Phase I Property, Seller is in default under any of its obligations regarding the construction and completion of the Flood Plain Improvements, the LOMR Request or FPI Final Approval, and Seller fails to cure the default within 30 days after Purchaser gives Seller written notice of the default, Purchaser, in addition to any other remedy Purchaser may have for the default, may give written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent that Purchaser elects to accept the FPI Collateral Assignment. Upon Purchaser’s delivery of such notice, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver the FPI Collateral Assignment to Purchaser and the FPI Collateral Assignment shall be deemed effective.

Purchaser shall cause to be prepared and delivered to Seller and Title Company within 30 days after the Effective Date a current ALTA/ACSM survey of the Property (the “Survey”) including a certification addressed to Purchaser, Seller and Title Company.

Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except (a) liens or exceptions for delinquent property taxes and assessments and related penalties, (b) deeds of trust and mortgages, (c) mechanics’ liens, (d) other monetary liens, and (e) any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are created by, through or under Seller after the Agreement Date without the written consent of Purchaser, all of which shall be removed from title to the applicable Phase at or prior to the Closing Date for such Phase. Without limiting Seller’s obligations in the prior sentence or elsewhere in this Agreement or Purchaser’s remedies under Section 8.1, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Earnest Money if the Title Company revises the Title Commitment after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period to add or modify exceptions or to delete or modify the conditions to obtaining any endorsement requested by Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period if such additions, modifications or deletions are not acceptable to Purchaser in its reasonable discretion and are not removed by the Closing Date for the applicable Phase. “Permitted Exceptions” means (i) the specific exceptions (exceptions that are not part of the promulgated title insurance form) in the Title Commitment that Purchaser has failed to object to in writing as of the expiration of the Due Diligence Period and that Seller is not required to remove as provided above, and (ii) real estate taxes not yet due and payable. Subject to the preceding sentences of this Section 3.2, the failure of Purchaser to deliver a Due Diligence Termination Notice to Seller prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed Purchaser’s acceptance of all specific exceptions in the most recent version of the Title Commitment.

 

3.3          Delivery of Title Policy at Closing. At the Closing for each Phase, as a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to close, the Title Company shall deliver to Purchaser an ALTA (or other form required by state law) Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (“Title Policy”) for the respective Phase issued by the Title Company with ALTA General Exceptions 1 through 5 deleted (or corresponding deletions or endorsements if the Property is located in a non- ALTA state), containing the Purchaser’s Endorsements, dated the date and time of the recording of the Deed for the respective Phase in the amount of the Purchase Price for the respective Phase, insuring Purchaser as owner of good and indefeasible fee simple title to the respective Phase, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions applicable to the respective Phase. “Purchaser’s Endorsements” means, to the extent such endorsements are available under the laws of the state in which the Property is located: (a) owner’s comprehensive; (b) access; (c) survey (accuracy of survey); (d) location (survey legal matches title legal); (e) separate tax lot; (f) legal lot; (g) zoning 3.0; and (h) such other endorsements as Purchaser may require based on its review of the Title Commitment and Survey. Seller shall execute at Closing for each Phase an affidavit on the Title Company’s standard form so that the Title Company can delete or modify the standard printed exceptions as to parties in possession, unrecorded liens, and similar matters and, if required to issue the Title Policy at Closing for the respective Phase, the customary gap indemnity. The Title Policy may be delivered after the Closing for the respective Phase if at the Closing the Title Company issues a currently effective, duly-executed “marked-up” Title Commitment and irrevocably commits in writing to issue the Title Policy in the form of the “marked-up” Title Commitment promptly after the Closing Date for the respective Phase.

 

3.4          Title and Survey Costs. The standard premium for the Title Policy, including any search and examination fees, shall be paid by Seller. Purchaser shall pay for any additional premium for any Purchaser’s Endorsements it requires.

ARTICLE 6. PRORATIONS

 

6.1           Proration of Taxes and Assessments. At the Closing for each Phase, Purchaser shall receive a credit for any accrued but unpaid general real estate taxes and special assessments for the respective Phase (including without limitation any special assessments imposed by private covenant, “Taxes”) applicable to any period before the Closing Date for the respective Phase, even if such Taxes are not yet due and payable. If the amount of any Taxes has not been determined as of Closing for the respective Phase, such credit shall be based on 110 % of the most recent ascertainable Taxes and shall be reprorated upon issuance of the final tax bill. The provisions of this Section 6.1 shall survive each Closing.

 

As of the Agreement Date, each Phase is taxed as a portion of the Property. Seller shall pay when due all Taxes payable with respect to the Property (other than with respect to any Phase conveyed to Purchaser). Seller and Purchaser shall execute and deliver such documentation before and after Closing for each Phase as may be necessary to cause the respective Phase to be assessed as a separate parcel, which obligation shall survive the Closing for the respective Phase.

 

If any portion of a Phase has been designated or valued as agricultural, open space or other special category such that its sale or change of use would trigger the imposition of any “rollback” or “catch up” tax, Seller shall be responsible for any such taxes and interest on such taxes applicable to any period prior to Closing for the respective Phase, subject, however, to the last sentence of this paragraph. If the amount of Seller’s share of such taxes and interest can be definitively determined at the Closing, then the amount of such Seller obligation shall serve as a credit against the Purchase Price. If such amount cannot be absolutely determined, then at the Closing, Seller shall deposit into an escrow established by Seller and Purchaser 125% of the parties’ estimate of such obligation, or such greater amount as the Title Company may require in order to issue the Title Policy without exception for such taxes (if such exception can be deleted under applicable title insurance regulations). At such time as the actual liability of Seller is determined, the funds retained shall be applied to payment of such taxes and interest and any excess in such escrow account shall be paid to Seller. Notwithstanding the above, if additional funds are required to cover the rollback obligation, Purchaser shall be liable for such excess amount.

 

6.2           Sales, Transfer, and Documentary Taxes. Seller shall pay all sales, gross receipts, compensating, stamp, documentary, excise, transfer, deed or similar taxes and fees imposed in connection with the transaction for each Phase under applicable local or state law. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall survive the Closing for the respective Phase.

 

6.3           Commissions. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant each to the other that they have not dealt with any real estate broker, sales person or finder in connection with this transaction other than Broker. If the transaction for a Phase is closed, Seller shall pay Broker in accordance with their separate agreement. Broker is an independent contractor and is not authorized to make any agreement or representation on behalf of either party. Except as expressly set forth above, in the event of any claim for broker’s commissions, finder’s fees or similar compensation in connection with the negotiation, execution or consummation of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, each party shall indemnify and hold harmless the other party from and against any such claim based upon any statement, representation or agreement of the indemnifying party. The provisions of this Section 6.3 shall survive the Closings or termination of this Agreement.

 

6.4           Other Expenses. Unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing between Seller and Purchaser, no other expense related to the ownership or operation of each Phase shall be charged to or paid or assumed by Purchaser, whether allocable to any period before or after the Closing for the respective Phase.

7.3           Survival of Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties set forth in this Article 7 are made as of the Agreement Date and are remade as of the Closing Date for each Phase and shall not be deemed to be merged into or waived by the instruments of Closing for the respective Phase, but, with respect to each Phase, shall survive the Closing for the respective Phase for a period of one year. Seller and Purchaser shall have the right to bring an action on a breach of a representation or warranty in this Article 7 only if Seller or Purchaser, as the case may be, has given the other party written notice of the circumstances giving rise to the alleged breach within such one year period. Each party agrees to defend and indemnify the other against any claim, liability, damage or expense asserted against or suffered by such other party arising out of any such representation or warranty being materially false or inaccurate. The parties agree that for the purposes of this Section 7.3, a Seller representation or representations shall be deemed “materially” false or inaccurate if the same results in damages which are reasonably and in good faith estimated by Purchaser to be in excess of Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), provided, however, that in no event shall any (i) information which was disclosed to Purchaser or otherwise actually known to Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, (ii) changes permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) information which discloses loss or damage to the Property occurring after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period as a result of condemnation be deemed “material” hereunder. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) in the event Purchaser brings an action against Seller under this Section 7.3, Seller’s liability to Purchaser shall be capped at $500,000.00, and (ii) Seller shall have no liability to Purchaser for breach of any representations or warranties contained in this Agreement except to the extent that the aggregate amount of all such liability exceeds $50,000.00.

 

ARTICLE 8. DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

 

8.1           Seller’s Default. If the transaction for any Phase fails to close as a result of Seller’s default, then Buyer, as its sole and exclusive remedy, shall have the right to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Title Company, in which event the Earnest Money (if the Closing for the Phase I Property has not occurred), the Phase II Option Payment (if the Closing for the Phase II Property has not occurred), and the Phase III Option Payment (if the Closing for the Phase III Property has not occurred) shall be returned to Purchaser, or (ii) bring an action against Seller for specific performance; provided, however, if Purchaser is unable to bring an action against Seller for specific performance because of Seller’s actions in breach of this Agreement, then in such event Purchaser shall be entitled to sue Seller in an action for Purchaser’s actual damages (excluding any punitive, exemplary and consequential damages).

 

8.2           Purchaser’s Default. If the transaction for a Phase fails to close due to the default of Purchaser, then Seller’s sole remedy in such event shall be to terminate this Agreement and to retain the Earnest Money, the Extension Payment(s) (if any), the Phase II Option Payment and the Phase III Option Payment as liquidated damages, Seller waiving all other rights or remedies in the event of such default by Purchaser. Purchaser and Seller have considered carefully the loss to Seller occasioned by taking the Property off the market as a consequence of the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, the expenses of Seller incurred in connection with the preparation of this Agreement and Seller’s performance under this Agreement, and the other damages, general and special, which Purchaser and Seller realize and recognize Seller will sustain but which Purchaser and Seller agree would be impracticable or extremely difficult to calculate at this time if Purchaser so defaults. Based on all those considerations, Purchaser and Seller agree that the Earnest Money (together with interest on it), the Extension Payment(s) (if any), the Phase II Option Payment and the Phase III Option Payment, represent a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages. Seller agrees to accept the Earnest Money, the Extension Payment(s) (if any), the Phase II Option Payment and the Phase III Option Payment as Seller’s total damages and relief under this Agreement if Purchaser defaults in its obligations to close under this Agreement, Seller waiving all other rights and remedies.

 

 22 
 

 

8.3           Notice of Default. Except for a party’s failure to close on the Closing Date, and except as provided under Section 2.7(j), neither party shall have the right to declare a default by the other party and terminate this Agreement because of a failure by such other party to perform under the terms of this Agreement unless the other party shall fail to cure such failure to perform within five Business Days after its receipt of written notice of such failure to perform.

 

8.4           Other Expenses. If this Agreement is terminated due to the default of a party, then the defaulting party shall pay any fees due to the Escrow Agent and any fees due to the Title Company for cancellation of the Title Commitment for the respective Phase.

 

ARTICLE 9. EARNEST MONEY PROVISIONS

 

9.1           Investment and Use of Funds. The Escrow Agent shall invest the Earnest Money in a government insured interest bearing account satisfactory to Purchaser at an institution having assets of not less than $125,000,000, shall not commingle the Earnest Money with any funds of the Escrow Agent or others, and shall promptly provide Purchaser and Seller with confirmation of the investments made. If the Closing for the Phase I Property occurs, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Purchaser on the Closing Date for the Phase I Property. Provided such supplemental escrow instructions are not in conflict with this Agreement as it may be amended in writing from time to time, Seller and Purchaser agree to execute such supplemental escrow instructions as may be appropriate to enable Escrow Agent to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

 

9.2           Termination Pursuant to Section 2.2 or 2.5. The Purchaser shall notify the Escrow Agent of the date that the Due Diligence Period ends promptly after such date is established under this Agreement, and Escrow Agent may rely upon such notice. If Purchaser elects to terminate the Purchase Agreement pursuant to Section 2.2 (or is deemed to have terminated this Agreement by failing to deliver a Due Diligence Approval Notice), Escrow Agent shall pay the entire Earnest Money to Purchaser one Business Day following receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice (or if no Due Diligence Approval Notice is delivered prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, one Business Day following the last day of the Due Diligence Period) from Purchaser (as long as the current investment can be liquidated in one day) and this Agreement shall then terminate. In such event, no notice to Escrow Agent from Seller shall be required for the release of the Earnest Money to Purchaser by Escrow Agent. The Earnest Money shall be released and delivered to Purchaser from Escrow Agent upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the Due Diligence Termination Notice (or if no Due Diligence Approval Notice is delivered prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, one Business Day following the last day of the Due Diligence Period) despite any objection or potential objection by Seller. Seller agrees it shall have no right to bring any action against Escrow Agent which would have the effect of delaying, preventing, or in any way interrupting Escrow Agent’s delivery of the Earnest Money to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.2, any remedy of Seller being against Purchaser, not Escrow Agent.

 

9.3           Other Terminations. Upon a termination of this Agreement other than as described in Section 9.2, either party to this Agreement (the “Terminating Party”) may give written notice to the Escrow Agent and the other party (the “Non-Terminating Party”) of such termination and the reason for such termination. Such request shall also constitute a request for the release of the Earnest Money to the Terminating Party. The Non-Terminating Party shall then have five Business Days in which to object in writing to the release of the Earnest Money to the Terminating Party. If the Non-Terminating Party provides such an objection, then the Escrow Agent shall retain the Earnest Money until it receives written instructions executed by both Seller and Purchaser as to the disposition and disbursement of the Earnest Money, or until ordered by final court order, decree or judgment, which is not subject to appeal, to deliver the Earnest Money to a particular party, in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered in accordance with such notice, instruction, order, decree or judgment. For clarity, this Section 9.3 applies only to a termination of this Agreement that is initiated by Purchaser or Seller after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period.

 

9.4           Interpleader. Except as provided in Section 9.2 above, Seller and Purchaser mutually agree that in the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, unless mutual written instructions are received by the Escrow Agent directing the Earnest Money’s disposition, the Escrow Agent shall not take any action, but instead shall await the disposition of any proceeding relating to the Earnest Money or, at the Escrow Agent’s option, the Escrow Agent may interplead all parties and deposit the Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in which event the Escrow Agent may recover all of its court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. Seller or Purchaser, whichever does not prevail in any such interpleader action, shall be solely obligated to pay such costs and fees of the Escrow Agent, as well as the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the prevailing party in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.

 

 23 
 

 

9.5           Liability of Escrow Agent. The parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Seller or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties under this Agreement, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

 

9.6           Escrow Fee. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement to the contrary, the escrow fee, if any, charged by the Escrow Agent for holding the Earnest Money or conducting the Closing shall be shared equally by Seller and Purchaser.

 

ARTICLE 10. MISCELLANEOUS

If either party employs attorneys to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, the party against whom any final judgment is entered agrees to pay the prevailing party all reasonable costs, charges and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expended or incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the enforcement action. The provisions of this Section 10.10 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

 

10.11         Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the parties at the addresses set forth in Section 1.1. Any such notices shall be sent by (a) overnight delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered one Business Day after deposit with such courier; (b) personal delivery, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon receipt; or (c) electronic mail in a “PDF” format followed by one of the delivery methods described in clauses (a) or (b) above, in which case notice shall be deemed delivered upon transmission of such notice by electronic mail. A party’s address may be changed by written notice to the other party; provided, however, that no notice of a change of address shall be effective until actual receipt of such notice.

The last day of any period of time described in this Agreement shall be deemed to end at 6:00 p.m. Dallas, Texas, time.

 

10.14         Procedure for Indemnity. The following provisions govern actions for indemnity under this Agreement. Promptly after receipt by an indemnitee of notice of any claim for which the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnitor written notice of the claim. The indemnitor shall have the right to participate in, and, if the indemnitor agrees in writing that it will be responsible for any costs, expenses, judgments, damages and losses incurred by the indemnitee with respect to such claim, to assume the defense of such claim with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnitor and the indemnitee. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the indemnitee shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnitor, if the indemnitee reasonably believes that representation of the indemnitee by the counsel retained by the indemnitor would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between the indemnitee and any other party represented by such counsel in any proceeding relating to the claim. The failure of the indemnitee to deliver written notice to the indemnitor within a reasonable time after the indemnitee receives notice of any such claim shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability to the indemnitee under the indemnity, unless and only if and to the extent that the failure is prejudicial to the indemnitor’s ability to defend the claim. The indemnitee’s failure to so deliver written notice to the indemnitor shall not relieve the indemnitor of any liability that it may have to any indemnitee other than the indemnitor’s indemnification obligation under this Agreement. If an indemnitee settles a claim without the prior written consent of the indemnitor, the indemnitor shall be released from liability with respect to the claim unless the indemnitor has unreasonably withheld its consent to the settlement. The provisions of this Section 10.14 shall survive the Closing and any termination of this Agreement.

 

10.15         Further Assurances. In addition to the acts and deeds recited in this Agreement and contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by the parties hereto, each party agrees to perform, execute and deliver, but without any obligation to incur any additional liability or expense, on or after the Closing any further deliveries and assurances as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the transactions contemplated under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 10.15 shall survive the Closing.

10.16         Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall constitute one Agreement. To facilitate execution of this Agreement, the parties may execute counterparts of the signature pages and exchange them by electronic mail.

 

10.17         Section 1031 Exchange. Either party may consummate the purchase or sale (as applicable) of the Property as part of an “Exchange” pursuant to § 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), provided that: (a) the Closing shall not be delayed or affected by reason of the Exchange; (b) the consummation or accomplishment of an Exchange shall not be a condition precedent or condition subsequent to the exchanging party’s obligations under the Contract; (c) the exchanging party shall effect its Exchange through an assignment of the Contract, or its rights under the Contract, to a qualified intermediary; (d) the non-exchanging party shall not be required to take an assignment of the purchase agreement for relinquished or replacement property or to acquire or hold title to any real property for purposes of consummating the exchanging party’s Exchange; (e) the exchanging party shall pay any additional costs that the non-exchanging party would not otherwise have incurred but for the exchanging party’s Exchange; (f) the non-exchanging party’s rights under the Contract shall not be adversely affected or diminished in any manner in connection with the exchanging party’s Exchange; and (g) the non- exchanging party shall not be responsible for compliance, and does not warrant to the exchanging party that the exchanging party’s Exchange in fact complies, with § 1031 of the Code.
