Agent Property Title Insurance Policy providing for title insurance insuring in Ohio University

good title in fee simple, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, restrictions, reservations,

easements and conditions of record, except those created or permitted by this Agreement

(including those referred to in this Section 4.6 and Sections 4.2, 7.3 and 7.4).

(e) Survey. Dublin will, at its expense, cause to be performed with respect to the

Property an ALTA survey (the "Property Survey") which shall be provided to Ohio University

on or before the date that is fifteen (15) days following the Effective Date. Ohio University's

failure to provide Dublin with any written objections to the Property Survey or the Property Title

Insurance Policy prior to the Property Closing Date for the Property shall constitute its approval

of the Property Survey and/or the Property Title Insurance Policy. Dublin shall investigate,

address, and remove any objections to the Property Survey and/or the Property Title Insurance

Policy within a reasonable time and a revised Property Survey or a cure to the Property Title

Section 4. 7 Disclaimers Related to Conveyance of Property. Except as otherwise

specifically stated in the warranties set forth in the Property Deed(s) and in Section 4.8 below,

Dublin hereby specifically disclaims any warranty, guaranty or representation, oral or written,

past, present or future, of, as to, or concerning (a) the nature and condition of the Property,

including, without limitation, the water, soil, environmental and geology, and the suitability

thereof and of the Property for any and all activities and uses which Ohio University may elect to

conduct thereon, and the existence of any environmental hazards or conditions thereon or

compliance with all applicable laws, rules or regulations; (b) the nature and extent of any right-

of-way, lease, possession, lien encumbrance, license, reservation, condition or otherwise unless

not on any information provided or to be provided by Dublin relating to the physical condition of

the Property. In the event that Ohio University's investigation reveals an objectionable or

unacceptable physical condition on the Property, as determined in its sole discretion, then its

obligation to purchase the Property and to develop and/or construct the Heritage College of

Osteopathic Medicine thereon shall be eliminated. Ohio University further acknowledges that

the information provided and to be provided with respect to the Property was obtained from a

variety of sources and Dublin has not made any independent investigation or verification of such

information; and Dublin does not make any representations as to the accuracy or completeness of

such information.

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 below, the sale of the Property as provided for

herein is made on an "as is," "where is" basis and with all faults, and Ohio University expressly

acknowledges that, in consideration of the agreements of Dublin herein, except as otherwise

specified in the Property Deed, Dublin makes no warranty or representation, express or implied,

or arising by operation of law, including, but not limited to, any warranty of condition,

habitability, merchantability, suitability, tenantability or fitness for a particular purpose, in

respect of the Property.

Section 4.8 Existing Soil Mound. The Parties acknowledge that Dublin has

temporarily placed soil on a portion of the Property creating a raised topography in that area (the

"Soil Mouncf'). Dublin commissioned and received a Fill Plan Study, dated April 20, 2012

which outlines the steps to be undertaken to perform flooding fill and dispose of the Soil Mound.

The Parties agree to work cooperatively and in good faith to remove the Soil Mound from the

Property on or before September 1, 2015 and to equally share the costs related to the removal of

DEVELOPMENT OF THE HERITAGE COLLEGE OF OSTEOPATHIC MEDICINE AND THE RELATED PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS

Section 5.1 Construction of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. Upon

and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of Dublin's

agreements set forth herein, Ohio University agrees to finance, acquire, construct, improve,

develop and commence operation of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. Ohio

University shall use its best efforts to cause the construction of the Heritage College of

Osteopathic Medicine to be commenced with all reasonable dispatch following the Effective

Date. Ohio University shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs incurred in connection with the

financing, acquisition, construction, improvement, development and operation of the Heritage

College of Osteopathic Medicine. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Dublin shall

have no responsibility with respect to the financing, acquisition, construction, improvement,

development and operation of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine. Ohio University

further agrees to proceed with all reasonable dispatch to provide for the development of the

Property.

In prosecuting the development of the Heritage College of Osteopathic Medicine and in

performing its obligations under this Agreement, Ohio University shall comply with, and cause

all of its employees, agents, contractors and consultants to comply with, all applicable federal,

state, county, municipal and other governmental statutes, laws, rules, orders, regulations,

ordinances, judgments, decrees and injunctions of any court, board, agency, commission, office

time in force affecting the Property or any part thereof.

Section 5.2 Construction of the Public Improvements.

(a) The Parties acknowledge and agree that the Public Improvements will enhance

access to the Property and expedite commercial development thereon. Based upon Section 2.1,

upon and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and in consideration of Ohio

University's agreements set forth herein, Dublin agrees, subject to making arrangements to

provide for the necessary financing to pay the costs thereof, including, without limitation,

issuance by Dublin of its bonds or other obligations, to finance, acquire, construct, improve and

maintain the Public Improvements. Dublin agrees to make its best efforts to obtain such

financing.

(b) Unless otherwise set forth herein, Dublin shall use its best efforts to cause the

Public Improvements (subject to any changes required by the Dublin City Engineer) to be

completed with all reasonable dispatch and at such time( s) as will be necessary to facilitate the

development of the Property. Ohio University agrees that Dublin's obligation to construct such

Public Improvements shall be conditioned upon Dublin's determination, in its sole discretion,

that an adequate quantity of development to be directly served by such Public Improvements will

be present within a reasonable period of time after such specific Public Improvements are

complete and that sufficient monies shall be available and appropriated by the City for the

purpose of paying the costs of those Public Improvements.

(c) Prior to undertaking any such Public Improvements, and at Dublin's option,

Dublin shall reserve from its conveyance of the Property to Ohio University, and Ohio

University shall convey or dedicate to Dublin with respect to the Property or any other real

property hereafter acquired by Ohio University or any of its affiliates, at no cost to Dublin, fee

simple title to such property, free and clear of any liens, encumbrances or other title exceptions

except those satisfactory to Dublin, as is necessary for the public rights of way for all public

street improvements included within the Public Improvements, and in addition, such fee simple

title or permanent easements (at Dublin's option, and in such forms satisfactory to Dublin) as

Dublin may require for the construction of such part of the Public Improvements as are not

located within public rights of way. Any such permanent easements requested by Dublin shall

be in such forms as are satisfactory to Dublin and Ohio University and as are necessary to enable

Dublin to carry out the construction, operation, inspection, maintenance, repair, improvement,

and replacement of any part of such Public Improvements as are not located within public rights

of way. Ohio University agrees to grant, to the extent it holds title to the applicable portion of

the Property, such temporary construction easements on the Property as are reasonably necessary

from time to time to enable Dublin to construct and complete the Public Improvements, and

agrees to execute and deliver to Dublin from time to time temporary construction easements in

forms satisfactory to Dublin.

( d) Dublin shall pay, or cause to be paid, all costs incurred in connection with the

financing, acquisition, construction, improvement and maintenance of the Public Improvements.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement (specifically but not limited to Ohio

make Service Payments as described herein), Ohio University shall have no responsibility with

ARTICLE VI

TAX INCREMENT FINANCING

Section 6.1 General Provision Relating to Tax Increment Financing. The Parties

agree that Dublin, at its sole cost and expense, shall undertake a tax increment financing pursuant

to the TIF Statute to facilitate the construction of the Public Improvements, all as more

particularly described in this Article VI.

Section 6.2 TIF Legislation. Following the Effective Date, Dublin anticipates that

the Dublin City Council will pass an ordinance (the "TIF Ordinance") pursuant to the TIF

Statute thereby exempting from taxation (the "TIF Exemption") any Improvements to the

Property (as the term Improvements is defined in the TIF Statute) and requiring the current and

future property owners to pay service payments in lieu of taxation in respect of the

Improvements exempted from taxation.

Section 6.3 Application of TIF Ordinance to Ohio University Property. Dublin

acknowledges that Ohio University is generally exempt from paying real property taxes.

Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, the Parties agree that passage of the

TIF Ordinance and authorization of the TIF Exemption will only be applicable to real property

which is otherwise subject to real property taxation. Notwithstanding any other provision herein

to the contrary, it is not Dublin's intention nor will Dublin (a) seek application of the TIF

Ordinance to any real property owned by Ohio University or (b) require Ohio University to remit

Service Payments (except for payments equal in amount to the Service Payments which may be

payable in the limited circumstances described in Section 4.4 and in the definition of "Subarea

Three Development Project" as set forth in Section 1.2) in respect of any real property owned by

Ohio University, if in either case such real property is otherwise exempt from real property

taxation.

-28-

Page 32: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - Dublin, Ohio...2019/04/12  · ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement') is made and entered into this 151

Section 6.4 Service Payments. The prov1s10ns of this Section 6.4 are, in all

respects, subject to the provisions of Section 6.3 above. Ohio University hereby agrees to make

service payments in lieu of taxes (the "Service Payments") attributable to its period of ownership

of the Property, all pursuant to, in accordance with and to the extent required by the TIF Statute,

the TIF Ordinance and any subsequent amendments or supplements thereto.

Service Payments will be made semiannually to the Franklin County Treasurer or the

Union County Treasurer, as the case may be (or to such treasurer's designated agent for

collection of the Service Payments) on or before the date on which real property taxes would

otherwise be due and payable for the Property. Any late payments will bear penalties and

interest at the then current rate established under Ohio Revised Code Sections 323.121 and

5703.47 or any successor provisions thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time.

Service Payments will be made in accordance with the requirements of the TIF Statute

and the TIF Ordinance and will be in the same amount as the real property taxes that would have

been charged and payable against the Improvements (after credit for any other payments

received by Dublin under Ohio Revised Code Sections 319.302, 321.24, 323.152 and 323.156, or

any successor provisions thereto, as the same may be amended from time to time, and are

referred to herein as the "Property Tax Rollback Payments") had the TIF Exemption not been

granted, including any penalties and interest. Ohio University will not, under any circumstances,

be required for any tax year to pay both real property taxes and Service Payments with respect to

the Improvements, whether pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section 5709.42 or this Agreement.

Further, Ohio University will not, under any circumstance, be required for any tax year to pay

Service Payments with respect to any Improvements which are exempt from real property

taxation pursuant to any section of the Ohio Revised Code other than the TIF Statute.

Page 33: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - Dublin, Ohio...2019/04/12  · ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement') is made and entered into this 151

Section 6.5 Declaration of Covenants; Priority of Lien. It is intended and agreed,

and it will be so provided by Ohio University in a declaration relating to the Property (the

"Declaration") that the covenants provided in Sections 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6, 6.10 and 6.11 of this

Agreement are covenants running with the land and that they will, in any event and without

regard to technical classification or designation, legal or otherwise, be binding to the fullest

extent permitted by law and equity for the benefit and in favor of and enforceable by Dublin and

any third party beneficiaries against any owner of a portion of the Property with respect to that

owner's period of ownership of that portion of the Property, whether or not this Agreement

remains in effect or whether or not such provision is included by an owner in any deed to such

owner's successors and assigns. It is further intended and agreed that these agreements and

covenants will remain in effect for the full period of exemption permitted in accordance with the

requirements of the TIF Statute and the TIF Ordinance enacted pursuant thereto.

Such covenants running with the land will have priority over any other lien or

encumbrance on the Property and any improvements thereon, except for such title exceptions as

are approved in writing by Dublin, and Ohio University will, upon Dublin's request, cause any

and all holders of mortgages or other liens existing on the Property as of the time of recording of

the Declaration to subordinate such mortgage or lien to those covenants running with the land.

The Parties acknowledge that the provisions of Ohio Revised Code Section 5709.91, which

specify that the Service Payments will be treated in the same manner as taxes for all purposes of

the lien described in Ohio Revised Code Section 323.11 including, but not limited to, the priority

of the lien and the collection of Service Payments, will apply to this Agreement and to the

Property and any improvements thereon.

Section 6.6 Exemption Applications. Dublin and Ohio University agree to cooperate

in the preparation, execution and filing of all necessary applications and supporting documents to

obtain from time to time the TIP Exemption and to enable Dublin to collect Service Payments

with respect to the Property. Dublin will perform such acts as are reasonably necessary or

appropriate to effect, claim, reserve and maintain the TIP Exemption and collect the Service

Payments including, without limitation, joining in the execution of all documentation and

providing any necessary certificate required in connection with the TIF Exemption or the Service

Payments. Ohio University authorizes Dublin to file any applications necessary to obtain from

time to time the TIP Exemption as may be provided in the TIF Ordinance; provided, however,

the Parties agree that no TIF application will be filed with respect to the Property which would

subordinate Ohio University's right as an instrumentality of the State and an owner of the

Property to receive a real property tax exemption in respect of the Property.

Section 6.7 Title Evidence. At Dublin's option and at its request, not more than one

(1) time per calendar year, Ohio University hereby agrees to provide such title evidence, at no

cost to Dublin, as is necessary to demonstrate to Dublin's satisfaction that the covenants running

with the land provided for in the Declaration are prior and superior to any other liens,

encumbrances or other title exceptions, except for those which are approved in writing by

Dublin.

Section 6.8 Release. Upon satisfaction of Ohio University's obligations under this

Agreement with respect to the Tax Exemption and termination of the Ohio University's

obligation to make the Service Payments, Dublin will, upon the request of Ohio University,

execute an instrument in recordable form evidencing such termination and releasing the

covenants running with the land set forth in the Declaration.

Section 6.9 Estoppel Certificate. Within thirty (30) days after a request from any

owner of a portion of the Property, Dublin will execute and deliver to that owner or any proposed

purchaser, mortgagee or lessee of such portion of the Property, a certificate stating that with

respect to such portion of the Property, if the same is true: (a) that this Agreement is in full force

and effect; (b) that the requesting owner is not in default under any of the terms, covenants or

conditions of this Agreement, or, if that owner is in default, specifying same; and ( c) such other

matters as that Owner reasonably requests.

Section 6.10 Tax Incentive Review Council. Ohio University agrees to cooperate in

all reasonable ways with, and provide necessary and reasonable information to, the designated

Tax Incentive Review Council to enable that Tax Incentive Review Council to review and

determine annually during the term of this Agreement the compliance of Ohio University with

the terms of this Agreement. Any information supplied to such Tax Incentive Review Council

will be provided solely for the purpose of monitoring Ohio University's compliance with this

Agreement.

Section 6.11 Nondiscriminatory Hiring Policy. Ohio University will comply with the

Dublin's nondiscriminatory hiring policy adopted pursuant to Ohio Revised Code Section

5709.832. In furtherance of that policy, Ohio University agrees that it will not deny any

individual employment solely on the basis of race, religion, sex, disability, color, national origin,

or ancestry.

Section 7.1 General. Except as othetwise provided in this Agreement, in the event of

any default in or breach of this Agreement, or any of its terms or conditions, by either Party

hereto, such Party shall, upon written notice from the other, proceed immediately to cure or

remedy such default or breach, and, in any event, within thirty (30) days after receipt of such

notice. In the event such default or breach is of such nature that it cannot be cured or remedied

within said thirty (30) day period, then in such event the Party shall upon written notice from the

other commence its actions to cure or remedy said breach within said thirty (30) day period, and

proceed diligently thereafter to cure or remedy said breach. In case such action is not taken or

not diligently pursued, or the default or breach shall not be cured or remedied within a

desirable in its opinion to cure and remedy such default or breach, including, but not limited to,

proceedings to compel specific performance by the party in default or breach of its obligations.

Section 7.2 Termination by Dublin Prior to Conveyance of Property. In the event

that:

(a) Prior to conveyance of the Property to Ohio University and in violation of this

Agreement Ohio University assigns or attempts to assign this Agreement or any rights therein

without the prior written approval of Dublin, or

(b) Ohio University does not pay the Property Purchase Price for the Property and

takes title to the Property on tender of conveyance by Dublin pursuant to this Agreement, and if

any default or failure referred to in the aforesaid subdivisions (a) or (b) of this Section 7.2 shall

not be cured or remedied within thirty (30) days after the date of written demand by Dublin, then

the Agreement and all rights of Ohio University under the Agreement shall be terminated at the

Page 37: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT - Dublin, Ohio...2019/04/12  · ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT THIS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement') is made and entered into this 151

option of Dublin. In the event of any such termination, Ohio University shall not have any

further rights under this Agreement.

In the event that any judicial body with proper jurisdiction renders any order or decision

or takes such other action which enjoins or prevents Dublin from tendering conveyance or

possession of the Property or any part thereof in the manner and condition provided in this

Agreement, and such order or decision does not find that Dublin knowingly executed this

Agreement without proper legal authority, then this Agreement may, at the option of Ohio

University, be canceled in its entirety or canceled with respect to that portion of the Property not

conveyed to Ohio University at the time of such cancellation, and neither Dublin nor Ohio

University shall have any further rights against or liability to the other under this Agreement as

to the Property or the part thereof not conveyed to Ohio University.

Section 7.3 Release of Subarea One Property Deed From Escrow. In the event that

subsequent to the conveyance of Subarea One to Ohio University and prior to the satisfaction of

the Subarea One Development Requirements:

(a) Ohio University shall place or permit to be placed on Subarea One or any part

thereof any encumbrance or lien not authorized by this Agreement, or shall suffer any levy or

attachment to be made, or any materialmen's or mechanics' lien, or any other unauthorized

encumbrance or lien to attach, and such encumbrance or lien shall not have been removed or

discharged or provision satisfactory to Dublin made for such payment, removal, or discharge,

within ninety (90) days after written demand by Dublin so to do; provided, however, any such

mechanic's or materialmen's lien may continue during the period in which Ohio University is

diligently and in good faith contesting such lien, unless or until Dublin determines, and delivers

part thereof; or

(b) There is, in violation of this Agreement, any transfer of Subarea One or any part

thereof, and such violation shall not be cured within ninety (90) days after written demand by

Dublin,

then, Dublin shall have the right to direct the Escrow Agent to release the Subarea One

Reconveyance Deed from escrow and to promptly record the Subarea One Reconveyance Deed

in the Official Records of Franklin County, Ohio and Union County, Ohio, as applicable upon

which recordation the original Property Deed(s) from Dublin to Ohio University relating to

Subarea One shall be deemed void and of no further effect, and any estate conveyed therein by

such Property Deed(s) to Ohio University shall be deemed terminated and revested in Dublin.

Section 7.4 Failure to Satisfy Subarea One Development Requirements. In the

event that Ohio University fails to fully satisfy the Subarea One Development Requirements by

September 1, 2015, then, (a) Dublin shall be entitled to notify the Escrow Agent (with a copy

to Ohio University) that Ohio University has failed to satisfy the Subarea One Development

Requirements and to direct the Escrow Agent to promptly record the Subarea One

Reconveyance Deed in the Official Records of Franklin County, Ohio and Union County,

Ohio, as applicable, and release the remaining escrow documents relating to Subarea One into

the custody of Dublin and (b) this Agreement and all rights of Ohio University under this

Agreement shall be terminated at the option of Dublin and in the event of any such termination,

Ohio University shall not have any further rights under this Agreement.

Section 7.5 Other Rights and Remedies; No Waiver by Delay. Dublin and Ohio

desirable for effectuating the purposes of, and its remedies under, this Agreement; provided, that

any delay by either party in instituting or prosecuting any such actions or proceedings or

otherwise asserting its rights under this Agreement shall not operate as a waiver of such rights or

to deprive it of or limit such right in any way (it being the intent of this provision that neither

party should be constrained, so as to avoid the risk of being deprived of or limited in the exercise

of the remedy provided in this Agreement because of concepts of waiver, laches, or otherwise, to

exercise such remedy at a time when it may still hope otherwise to resolve the problems created

by the default involved); nor shall any waiver in fact made by either party with respect to any

specific default by the other party under this Agreement be considered or treated as a waiver of

the rights of such party with respect to any other defaults by the other party this Agreement or

with respect to the particular default except to the extent specifically waived in writing.

Dublin shall also have the right to enforce the remedy set forth in Sections 7.3 and 7.4 by

executing and recording or filing in the public land records in the office in which the Property

Deed(s) relating to Subarea One are recorded a written declaration of the termination of all the

right, title and interest of Ohio University, and its successors in interest and assigns, in Subarea

One, as the case may be, and the revesting of title thereto in Dublin.

Section 7.6 Force Majeure. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Dublin nor

Ohio University shall be considered in default in its obligations to be performed hereunder, if

delay in the performance of such obligations is due to unforeseeable causes beyond its control

and without its fault or negligence, including but not limited to, acts of God or of the public

enemy, acts or delays of the other party, fires, floods, unusually severe weather, epidemics,

freight embargoes, unavailability of materials, strikes or delays of contractors, subcontractors or

materialmen but not including lack of financing capacity; it being the purpose and intent of this
