(g) Real Estate Commission. Seller and Purchaser each warrant and represent to the other that neither of them has dealt with any agent or broker in connection with the sale and purchase of the Property. Each party hereto agrees to indemnify, defend and save harmless the other party from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, costs, or expenses of any kind or character arising out of or resulting from any agreement, arrangement or understanding alleged to have been made by such party or on its behalf with any broker or finder in connection with this Agreement or transactions contemplated hereby.

(i) Time Periods.

Neither party is required to acquire any real property other than the real property which is the subject of the Agreement.
(n) Special Taxing Districts. THE PROPERTY MAY BE SUBJECT TO SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICTS WHICH MAY BE SUBJECT TO GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS THAT IS PAID BY REVENUES PRODUCED FROM ANNUAL TAX LEVIES ON THE TAXABLE PROPERTY WITHIN SUCH DISTRICTS. PROPERTY OWNERS IN SUCH DISTRICTS MAY BE PLACED AT RISK FOR INCREASED MILL LEVIES AND EXCESSIVE TAX BURDENS TO SUPPORT THE SERVICING OF SUCH DEBT WHERE CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE RESULTING IN THE INABILITY OF SUCH A DISTRICT TO DISCHARGE SUCH INDEBTEDNESS WITHOUT SUCH AN INCREASE IN MILL LEVIES. PURCHASER SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE DEBT FINANCING REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORIZED GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS OF SUCH DISTRICTS, EXISTING MILL LEVIES OF SUCH DISTRICT SERVICING SUCH INDEBTEDNESS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INCREASE IN SUCH MILL LEVIES.
(o) Public Improvement Fee. Purchaser acknowledges that the Property is located within a Public Improvement Property and is subject to a Public Improvement Fee (“PIF Fee”) as required by the City of Colorado Springs in connection with the Special District Act as set forth in C.R.S. Section 32-101, et seq. Purchaser recognizes and agrees that certain fees generated by Purchaser’s economic activities, namely its sales to customers, will be applied toward the cost of certain improvements for the Shopping Center. Purchaser agrees to pay the Public Improvement Fee (“PIF”) as defined under the Declaration Of Covenants Imposing And Implementing A Public Improvement Fee, dated September 12, 2012 and recorded September 19, 2012 as instrument 212109234 in the official records of El Paso County, Colorado (“PIF Covenant”). The PIF is in the amount of 1 % of such sales, until the termination of the PIF Covenant, or reduction of the PIF, subsequent to the date upon which all financings required under the PIF Covenant have been discharged or paid. Until further notice, Xxxxxxxxx agrees to pay the PIF Fee to the Primary PIF Recipient, Copper Ridge Metropolitan District.

(q) Further Cooperation. Purchaser acknowledges that, except for any development approval documents prepared by Seller that are also required for submission by Purchaser to the Pikes Peak Regional Building Department, Seller is not responsible for preparing any of Purchaser ‘s construction related documents necessary for Purchaser to secure a building permit including Purchaser’s technical drawings and engineering. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller’s responsibility under this Agreement is to secure the Development related approvals prior to closing. To aid Seller, and if so required for Seller to complete its obligations under this Agreement, Purchaser will prepare its own construction related documents and provide them to Seller along with information necessary to allow Seller to complete its obligation to secure the Development related approvals. Therefore, Xxxxxxxxx and Seller acknowledge that they must coordinate their efforts to prepare submissions to the applicable government reviewing and approving entities responsible for reviewing and approving the final Plat, Development Plan, zone change request, Master Plan modifications, drainage plans, grading plans, Northgate Business Owners Association approvals, and everything else required for final development approvals prior to Closing. Purchaser and Seller further acknowledge that the applicable governmental reviewing and approving entities will comment upon the submissions tendered to them and will likely require modifications to the original submissions. This process will require the close and ongoing cooperation of Purchaser and Seller. Therefore, to effectuate the intent of this Agreement, each party shall, from time to time, timely execute and deliver such further instruments as the other party or its counsel or any reviewing and approving entities may reasonable request, including, but not limited to, documents necessary for compliance with laws, ordinances, rules or regulations of all such applicable governmental reviewing and approving authorities and each shall also cooperate with each other so as to do so. Seller further agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in providing, or causing Touchstone Springs, LLC to provide, such information or documentation as may be reasonably necessary for Purchaser to obtain after Closing a standard title commitment to insure Purchaser as to all matters other than those of record that may affect Purchaser’s title to the Touchstone Springs Parcel.
(r) No Recording. Neither this Agreement nor any memorandum hereof shall be recorded.
(s) No Water Rights. Seller and Purchaser each understand, acknowledge and agree that the Property does not include any water rights, ditch rights, well rights or reservoir rights which have been or are currently used in connection with the Property, or any rights or interests in or to any groundwater underlying the Property. Seller does not own and is not committing to convey to Purchaser any water rights or interests appurtenant to the Property.
(t) Ground Lease Payments. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge the existence of that certain Ground Lease dated April 5, 2022 as amended by that First Amendment to Ground Lease dated October 10, 2022 between Northgate Properties, LLC as Landlord and The Sunset Amphitheater, LLC as Tenant on the Property (herein “Ground Lease”).
