performance by Seller of the closing obligations specified in Section 14 below.

shall not relieve the Seller of any liability that Seller may have under the mortgage(s) or prior
contract(s) to which the Property is subject,unless otherwise agreed to by the lender or required
by law or regulation.
4. SURVEY. Purchaser may provide at its own expense, an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey,
showing all improvements, encroaclunents, easements, rights-of-way, and the locations of all
utility lines. Said Survey shall be certified to Purchaser and the title insurance company

6. SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS/TAXES.
a. Special assessments which are or become a lien on the Property on or before
date of closing on this Agreement shall be paid by LHC. All special assessments which
will become a lien on the Property after the date of closing on this Agreement shall be
paid by Purchaser; provided, however, that LHC warrants and represents to Purchaser
that LHC is not aware of any such existing or anticipated special assessments. LHC
represents and warrants to Purchaser that LHC has received no notice of any pending or
possible special assessment being imposed on the Property.
b. The Property is currently exempt from property taxation. The Property will be returned
to the tax rolls upon conveyance to Purchaser.
7. TITLE INSURANCE. At LHC's expense, Seller shall provide Purchaser with a standard
ALTA owner's policy of title insurance, without standard exceptions (if a "without" standard
exceptions policy is issued by the title insurance company without additional cost to Seller), in
the amount of the purchase price effective as of the date of closing. Otherwise, the title
insurance policy shall be acceptable with standard exception if Purchaser does not elect to pay
the additional cost. A commitment to issue such policy insuring marketable title vested in
Purchaser, including a tax status report, and copies of all exceptions to title disclosed therein
will be obtained by Seller for Purchaser's inspection within fifteen (15) days after Seller's final
acceptance of this Agreement. Said policy shall provide gap coverage to Purchaser. Said
commitment and policy shall be issued by a title company selected by Seller and acceptable to
Purchaser. LHC shall pay the premiums for said Policy at closing. The status of Seller's title
must be marketable and any easements, reservations, or exceptions that will continue after
closing must be acceptable to Purchaser, or Purchaser shall not be required to close.
If Purchaser, within twenty (20) days of the receipt of the title insurance commitment, makes a
valid written objection to Seller as to marketability of Seller's title (the "Title Objection"),
Seller shall have thirty (30) days to cure the Title Objection. In the event Seller is unable or
unwilling to cure the Title Objection defect, then such defect may be waived by the Purchaser.
If Seller is unable to cure the Title Objection within 30 days and requests an extension of time
to attempt to cure the Title Objection, Purchaser may extend in writing the cure period for such
2
period as it, in its discretion, deems reasonable to permit Seller to complete the cure of Title
Objection. In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the Title Objection within the
extension time period, then such defect may be waived or cured by Purchaser in its sole
discretion. If Purchaser is unwilling to waive or cure the Title Objection, then Purchaser or
Seller may declare this Agreement terminated, in which event, the parties hereto shall have no
further obligation or liability to each other. If, during the due diligence period provided for in
Section 21, Seller discovers a title exception, marketable title defect, unrecorded document,
legal right of another, or Title Objection (collectively, "Title Defect") that Seller determines in
its sole discretion will expose Seller to (i) a claim of breach of obligation or duty of Seller to a
third party, or (ii) a claim for damages; and Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the Title
Defect, and notifies in writing to Purchaser within ten (10) business days of the discovery
thereof, then Purchaser or Seller may declare this Agreement terminated by written notice to

will be null and void and no longer in effect and the parties hereto shall have no further
obligation or liability each to the other.

and of no farther effect, unless extended in writing by mutual consent of the parties prior to that

1. Approval of the Lansing Housing Commission;
2. Receipt of all required approvals, waivers, or lien releases from the Department

3. Approval by the Lansing City Council in accordance with the City Charter;
34. PAYMENT IN LIEU OF TAXES (SALE TO TAX EXEMPT ENTITY BY PURCHASER
OR PURCHASER'S SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNEE). The Property will be exempt from
taxation (including special assessments) at the time of closing. Purchaser understands that the
parcel shall be placed on the appropriate tax rolls on the 31st day of December, immediately
following the sale of said parcel. The Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment of all
taxes, special assessments and other fees which occur subsequent to the date of closing.
It is acknowledged that future tax revenue from the private development and ownership of the
Property is a material part of the consideration to the City for this Agreement and the sale of the
Property. The Purchaser agrees not to transfer or close on the sale of all or part of the Property
to an entity that will result in the Property becoming tax exempt. The Developer agrees that the
Property will be placed on the tax rolls and remain on the tax rolls for a period of not less than
twenty(20) years commencing with the date of issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy for the
building located thereon at closing. In the event the Property is removed from the tax rolls
after the commencement of the twenty (20) year taxing period for the Property, but prior to the
expiration of such period, then the Purchaser will reimburse the City for an amount equal to the
taxable value of the improved Property in the year before it is no longer taxed (the original
"Base Value") times sixty two and 49/100 (62.49) mills, which shall equal the "Annual
Amount" for each year remaining up to and including the final year of the twenty (20)-year
period.
The amount payable to the City will be either paid on an annual basis or in one lump sum. If
the Purchaser elects to make annual payments, the Base Value shall be increased each year over
the prior year's Base Value by the rate promulgated annually by the State Tax Commission to
cap taxable value. If the Purchaser elects to make a lump sum payment, the lump sum payment
shall be calculated by increasing the Annual Amount by three percent (3.0%) for each year
remaining and discounting back at five percent (5.0%), equaling the "Net Present Value." The
lump sum is due and payable on or before the Purchaser closes on the transfer or sale of the
Property to the State of Michigan or other agency or entity that results in the Property
becoming tax exempt or unless the Purchaser elects to make annual payments. The annual
9
payments shall be due and payable on or before June 15th, commencing in the year the
Property is no longer taxed and continuing on June 15th of each year for the remaining time.
If Purchaser elects to make annual payments, the Purchaser will secure this obligation by
providing a Letter of Credit in favor of the City from a financial institution approved by the
City (the "Tax Letter of Credit"). The Base Value shall be increased each year over the prior
year's Base Value by the rate promulgated annually by the State Tax Commission to cap
taxable value. The Tax Letter of Credit will be renewed annually and will be an amount equal
to the Net Present Value as calculated above. Such amount will be reduced each year after the
annual payment is made by the Purchaser. In the event payment is not made as provided for in
this Agreement or the City is not provided evidence of the Tax Letter of Credit renewal at least
five (5) business days before it is scheduled to expire, then the City will have the right to
present the Tax Letter of Credit for payment of the remaining lump sum amount due. This
obligation shall run with the Property, and a memorandum of the covenants, obligations, and
agreements set forth in this Section 33 and in evidence hereof ("Memorandum") shall be
executed at closing and recorded with the register of deeds. Notwithstanding the above, upon
mutual agreement, the City and Purchaser may amend the conditions for sale or transfer to a tax
exempt entity. Further, notwithstanding the above, if the Property is taken off the tax rolls
through eminent domain, condemnation, or other governmental taking, Purchaser shall not be
obligated to reimburse City for the taxable value,
35. REVERSION. If Purchaser does not Commence Construction, including rehabilitation of the
existing structure, within three hundred sixty (360) Days from the Date of Closing, the City
shall have the right to reclaim, purchase and/or acquire the Property from the Purchaser for an
amount equal to the Purchase Price (Section 2) less the amount of the "Purchaser's Deposit"
(Section 19), cost of "Title Insurance" paid by Seller (Section 7), and all legal fees and
recording fees paid, to have title vested back in the name of the City. The City shall notify the
Purchaser within One Hundred Twenty (120) days of the Purchaser's failure to timely
Commence Construction of its intent to exercise its right of reversion herein.
For purposes of this Section 35, Commencement of Construction shall mean all of the
following have occurred:
a) Building Plans have been submitted to, and approved by, the City of Lansing for
the construction/redevelopment of Property; and
b) All mechanical, plumbing and electrical permits have been acquired by the
Purchaser, and or their agent, consistent with the Building Plans referenced in

c) Site Plan Approval from the City of Lansing has been issued to the Purchaser,
and or its agent/representative; and
d) Building Permit has been issued to the Purchaser, and or its agent/representative,
for the Property; and

for the purpose of this section, has been completed.
If the Purchaser does not Complete Construction within five (5) years of Commencement of
Construction the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the sum of One Hundred Thousand and
10
00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) within thirty(30) days.
For purposes of this Section 35, Completion of Construction shall mean the Purchaser has
obtained either a temporary or permanent certificate of occupancy for the entire building
located on the Property.

38. RIGHTS IN THIRD PARTIES. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute
or create rights, expectations or benefits in any person, firm, or other entity against the parties
hereto (as third party beneficiaries or otherwise) or to create obligations or responsibilities of
the parties thereto to such third parties or to permit anyone other than the parties thereto and
their respective successors and assigns to rely upon the covenants, conditions, and agreements
herein contained.
39. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts and all so executed
shall constitute one agreement binding on all the parties hereto, notwithstanding that all the
parties hereto are not signatories to a single original or to the same counterparts.
