incorporated herein) (Said vacation ordinance shall be conditioned upon, among other
things, the Closing of the property exchange as contemplated herein and the granting of
utility easements by COS to certain private utility companies);; and (3) the City being
granted adequate access to the COS Property in accordance with the timeframes
contemplated herein for purposes of conducting inspections and investigations,

provide access to the City, such failure shall constitute a material breach and this
Contract shall be null and void in all respects with neither party having any further
obligation to the other.
6. TITLE

convey marketable title to the COS Property by Warranty Deed, subject only to matters
contained in Paragraph 7 acceptable to CITY. Otherwise title shall be free of liens,
easements and encumbrances of record or known to COS, but subject to property taxes

and no others provided there exists at closing no violation of the foregoing and none of
them prevents CITY's intended use of the COS Property for downtown redevelopment
purposes. COS warrants and represents that there is ingress and egress to the Real
Property sufficient for the intended use as described herein.
[GM17-9216-055/217711/1] Page 2 of 15
CITY warrants legal capacity to and shall convey marketable title to the CITY Property
by Special Warranty Deed, subject only to matters contained in Paragraph 7 acceptable
to COS. Otherwise title shall be free of liens, easements and encumbrances of record or
known to City, but subject to property taxes for the year of closing; covenants,
restrictions and public utility easements of record; and no others provided there exists at
closing no violation of the foregoing and none of them prevents COS's intended use of
the CITY Property for redevelopment purposes. CITY warrants and represents that
there is ingress and egress to the Real Property sufficient for the intended use as
described herein.
7. TITLE EVIDENCE
Each party shall, at the expense of the party granting title and within 15 days prior to
closing date, deliver to the other party, a title insurance commitment issued by a Florida
licensed title insurer agreeing to liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications set
forth in this Contract, and those which shall be discharged by CITY or COS as may be
appropriate at or before closing for both the COS Property and the CITY Property, as
their interests may appear. The parties shall convey marketable title subject only to
liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications set forth in this Contract. Marketable
title shall be determined according to applicable Title Standards adopted by The Florida
Bar and in accordance with law. The other party shall have 5 days from receiving
evidence of title to examine it. If title is found defective, the objecting party shall, within 3
days thereafter, notify the other party in writing specifying defect(s). If the defect(s)
render title unmarketable, the granting party will have 120 days from receipt of notice
within which to remove the defect(s), failing which the objecting party shall have the
option of either accepting the title as it then is or withdrawing from this Contract. CITY or

examine same, may have the CITY Property or COS Property surveyed (by COS or
CITY, respectively) and certified to the other party and closing agent by a registered
Florida land surveyor. If survey shows any encroachment on the respective parcel, or
that improvements located on real property encroach on setback lines, easements,
lands of others, or violate any restrictions, contract covenants or applicable
governmental regulation, the same shall constitute a title defect. The survey shall be
performed to minimum technical standards of the Florida Administrative Code and may
include a description of the property under the Florida Coordinate System as defined in
Chapter 177, Florida Statutes.

the respective grantee.
12. PRORATIONS; CREDITS
Taxes, assessments, rent (if any) and other revenue of the Properties shall be prorated
through the day before closing. Closing agent shall collect all ad valorem taxes
uncollected but due through day prior to closing and deliver same to the Pinellas County
Tax Collector with notification to thereafter exempt the Property acquired by the City
from taxation as provided in Chapter 196, Florida Statutes (2016). If the amount of taxes
and assessments for the current year cannot be ascertained, rates for the previous year
shall be used with due allowance being made for improvements and exemptions. Any
deposits held in trust for third parties in occupancy of the Properties shall be credited to
the other party at time of closing. Assessments for any improvements that are
substantially complete at time of closing shall be paid in full by respective owner/seller.
13. OCCUPANCY
The parties warrant to one another that there are no parties in occupancy on the
respective Properties, unless as otherwise disclosed herein. If Property is intended to
[GM17-9216-055/217711/1] Page 4 of 15
be rented or occupied beyond closing, the fact and terms thereof shall be stated herein,
and the tenant(s) or occupants disclosed pursuant to Paragraph 14. The Parties agree
to deliver occupancy of the respective Property at time of closing unless otherwise
stated herein. If occupancy is to be delivered before closing, the Party taking occupancy
assumes all risk of loss to Property from date of occupancy, shall be responsible and
liable for maintenance from that date, and shall be deemed to have accepted Property
in its existing conditions as of the time of taking occupancy unless otherwise stated
herein or in separate writing.
14. LEASES
The parties shall, not less than 15 days before closing, furnish to the other party copies
of all written leases and estoppel letters from each tenant specifying the nature and
duration of the tenant's occupancy, rental rates, advanced rent and security deposits
paid by tenant. If unable to obtain such letter from each tenant, the same information
shall be furnished by the other party within that time period in the form of an affidavit,
and the party may thereafter contact tenants to confirm such information. The granting
party shall, at closing, deliver and assign all original leases to the other party and credit
the parties with all advanced rents and security deposits paid by or on behalf of each
tenant.
15. PROPERTY CONDITION
The parties shall deliver the respective Properties to the respective grantee party at time
of closing in their present "as is" condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and shall
maintain the landscaping and grounds in a comparable condition. Neither party makes
any warranty other than as is disclosed herein in Paragraph 21 ("WARRANTIES") and
marketability of title.
Each Party's covenant to exchange the respective Properties "as is" is more
specifically represented in either subparagraph 1. a. or b. as marked [X].
a. [ ] As Is: Buyer has inspected the Property or waives any right to inspect and
accepts the Property in its present "as is" condition.
b. [X] As Is With Right of Inspection: Each Grantee may, at its expense and within 90
days following the Effective Date ("Inspection Period"), conduct inspections, tests,
environmental and any other investigations of the Property it is acquiring as it deems
necessary to determine suitability for its intended use. The other Party shall grant
reasonable access to the Property to said Grantee, its agents, contractors and assigns
for the purposes of conducting the inspections provided, however, that all such persons
enter the Property and conduct the inspections and investigations at their own risk.
Each Party will, upon reasonable notice, provide utilities services as may be required for
Grantee's inspections and investigations. Each Party shall not engage in any activity
that could result in a mechanics lien being filed against the Property without respective
Grantor's prior written consent. Grantee may terminate this contract by written notice to
[GM17-9216-055/217711/11 Page 5 of 15
the respective Grantor prior to expiration of the Inspection Period if the inspections

escrow by COS's attorney or by such other mutually acceptable escrow agent for a
period of not longer than 5 days from and after closing, during which time evidence of
title shall be continued at the respective owner's expense to show title in the other party,
without any encumbrances or change which would render the property's title
unmarketable from the date of the last title evidence. If title is rendered unmarketable
through no fault of the other party, the objecting party shall, within the 5 day period,
notify the other party in writing of the defect and the non -objecting party shall have 30
days from the date of receipt of such notification to cure the defect. If the defect is not
timely cured, all funds paid by or on behalf of the other party shall, upon written demand
made and within 5 days after demand, be returned to the other party and
simultaneously with such repayment, the property shall be reconveyed by the same
type deed of the original conveyance. If the objecting party fails to make timely demand
for refund and reconveyance of property, objecting party shall take title "as is", waiving
all rights against the non -objecting party as to any intervening defect except as may be
available to objecting party by virtue of warranties contained in the deed. The escrow
and closing procedure required by this provision may be waived if title agent insures
adverse matters pursuant to Section 627.7841, F.S. (2016), as amended.

If this transaction is not closed due to any default or failure on the part of the Grantor,
other than to make the title marketable after diligent effort, the respective Grantee may
seek specific performance or unilaterally cancel this agreement upon giving written
notice to Grantor. If a Broker is owed a brokerage fee regarding this transaction, the
defaulting party shall be liable for such fee.

the value of the Properties, or which would be detrimental to the Properties, or which
would effect parties desire to exchange the properties except as follows: NONE

("Inspection Period") to investigate said matters as disclosed by the other party, and
shall notify the granting party in writing regarding closing on this contract
notwithstanding said matters, or whether the contract shall be cancelled. Failure to
notify the other party within said time period, the respective Grantee shall be deemed to
have waived any objection to the disclosed matters and shall have the obligation to
close on the contract.
