Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Purchase Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 33 therein), the designees set forth in such Schedule IV shall receive the Closing Documents to the respective Properties described in such Schedule IV, and shall be the “Landlord” under the individual Leases for such respective Properties. Buyer’s rights as to such respective Properties shall run to such respective designees.
(f)The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that Seller has received two estoppel certificates relating to 00000 Xxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxx, XX, dated as of July 19, 2023, and August 1, 2023, respectively, wherein the parties thereto assert the existence of a certain Parking Lot Maintenance Agreement dated as of March 2, 1966, and related agreements, and certain breaches and defaults of Seller thereunder (collectively, the “Parking Matters”). Seller and Tenant shall protect, indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Buyer, Landlord (as defined in the Lease for such Property), and Xxxxx’s and Landlord’s current and future lenders, and each of their respective successors, assigns, and designees (including, without limitation, BIG CHCA Owner LLC), and their respective members, managers, partners, shareholders, officers, directors, agents, attorneys and representatives (collectively, the “Landlord Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, claims, damages, penalties, causes of action, losses, costs, fees and expenses, including without limitation reasonable counsel fees and court costs, to the maximum extent permitted by all applicable statutes, ordinances, rules, regulations, codes, orders, requirements, directives, binding written interpretations and binding written policies, common law, rulings, and decrees of all local, municipal, state and federal governments, departments, agencies, commissions, boards or political subdivisions (collectively, “Law”), imposed upon, asserted against or suffered or incurred by any Landlord Indemnified Party directly or indirectly by reason of any claim, suit or judgment obtained or brought by or on behalf of any person or persons against any Landlord Indemnified Party, for damage, loss or expense, which arise out of, are occasioned by, or are in any way attributable to or related to the Parking Matters. Seller and Tenant, at their expense, shall contest, resist and defend any such claim, action or proceeding asserted or instituted against any Landlord Indemnified Party (“Landlord Claim”). If at any time a Landlord Indemnified Party shall have received written notice of or shall otherwise be aware of any Landlord Claim which is subject to indemnity under this Section 2(f), such Landlord Indemnified Party shall give reasonably prompt written notice of such Landlord Claim to Seller and Tenant; provided, that, except to the extent Tenant is materially prejudiced in its defense of such Landlord Claim, (I) such Landlord Indemnified Party shall have no liability for a failure to give notice of any Landlord Claim, and (II) the failure of such Landlord Indemnified Party to give such a notice to Seller or Tenant shall not limit the rights of such Landlord Indemnified Party or the obligations of Seller or Tenant with respect to such Landlord Claim. This Section 2(f) shall indefinitely survive the Closing and delivery of the Deeds.
(g)Seller agrees that Seller’s owner’s affidavit with respect to that certain Property commonly known as 0000 X Xxxxxx X XXX X, Xxxxxxxxx, XX, shall include a statement that there are no leases affecting such Property, which shall be in form and substance acceptable for the Title Insurer to delete Exception 13 of that certain title commitment dated as of March 15, 2023, Order No. 00190919-987-OC1-JS9.
3.Ratification and Affirmation of Purchase Agreement. Except as expressly provided herein, the Purchase Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect; provided, that to the extent this Amendment conflicts with the Purchase Agreement, the provisions of this Amendment shall control. From and after the date hereof, the “Purchase Agreement” shall mean and refer to the Purchase Agreement as amended by this Amendment. The terms of the Purchase Agreement, as modified hereby, are ratified and affirmed by the parties hereto.
4.Counterparts; Electronic Signatures. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
