-22-PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT
  

   
  

  
   THIS PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of October 1, 2020 (the “Effective Date”) by and between AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND XXI LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Minnesota limited partnership, as to an undivided 55% interest; and AEI INCOME & GROWTH FUND 24 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, as to an undivided 45% interest, together as tenants-in-common (collectively, “Seller”) and MITCHELL INVESTMENTS & HOLDINGS OF TEXAS, LLC, a Texas limited liability company (“Buyer”). Seller desires to sell, and Buyer desires to purchase, all of Seller’s right, title and interest in the real property and improvements thereupon located at 9076 Kingston Road, Shreveport, LA 71118 as more particularly described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Property”).
  

   
  

  
   In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby mutually acknowledged, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows:
  

   
  

  	
     Property.  The property to be sold to Buyer in this transaction consists of an undivided 100% interest in the Property. Seller owns no interest in any personalty with respect to the Property. 
    

 
    

    	
     Lease.  The Property is being sold subject to an existing Lease of the Property dated July 11, 2007, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Lease dated May 22, 2008, and that certain Second Amendment to Lease dated September 15, 2008, and further amended by that certain Third Amendment to Lease dated April 26, 2017, by and between Seller, as lessor (pursuant to that certain Assignment and Assumption of Lease dated October 2, 2008 by and between WFMC-LA 1, LLC, an Oklahoma limited liability company, as assignor, and Seller, as assignee), and Bio-Medical Applications of Louisiana, LLC d/b/a Fresenius Medical Care of Southwest Shreveport, a Delaware limited liability company, as lessee (the “Tenant”) (collectively, the “Lease”). Tenant’s obligations under the Lease are guaranteed by Fresenius Medical Care Holdings, Inc., a New York corporation, (the “Guarantor”) pursuant to a Guarantee of Lease dated July 11, 2007, which has since been replaced by that Replacement and Substitution in its Entirety of Guaranty of Lease dated July 31, 2008 (the “Guaranty”).  The Seller agrees to sell and convey to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from Seller, all right, title, and interest of Seller in and to all leases and other agreements to occupy all or any portion of the Property that are in effect on the Effective Date or which Seller executed prior to Closing (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
    

 
    

    	
     Purchase Price.  The Purchase Price for the Property is $2,800,000 (the “Purchase Price”). If all conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligations to purchase have been satisfied, Buyer shall deposit the Purchase Price with the Closing Agent (as defined below) on or before the Closing Date.
    

 
    

    	
     Terms.  The Purchase Price will be paid by Buyer as follows:
    

      	
         Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Buyer will deposit $30,000 (the “Earnest Money”) into an interest-bearing account with First American Title Insurance Company, 1125 17th Street, Denver, Colorado, 80202, Attn: Lisa Ray; phone number: (303) 876-1134; email: liray@firstam.com (the “Closing Agent” or “Title Company” or “Escrow Agent”). Upon expiration of the Review Period (as defined below), Earnest Money shall become non-refundable. The Earnest Money shall be credited against the Purchase Price when and if escrow closes and the sale is completed.
        
	
         Buyer will deposit the balance of the Purchase Price into escrow in sufficient time to allow escrow to close on the Closing Date.
        

    

     
    

     
    

    	
     Due Diligence.  Buyer will have thirty (30) days from the Effective Date of this Agreement (the “Review Period”) to conduct all of its inspections and due diligence and satisfy itself regarding the Property and this transaction. Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless for any loss or damage to the Property or persons caused by Buyer or its agents arising out of such physical inspections of the Property, and this indemnity shall survive Closing or termination of this Agreement. Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date of this Agreement, Seller shall provide, to the extent such items are in its possession, the items listed on Exhibit “B” (“Seller’s Materials”). 
    

 
    

    
     Buyer may cancel this Agreement before the expiration of the Review Period for any reason in its sole discretion by delivering a cancellation notice to Seller and Closing Agent prior to the expiration of the Review Period. If this Agreement is not cancelled as set forth above, the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable unless Seller shall default hereunder, or in the event of a casualty or condemnation, subject to the provisions of Section 16 below.
    

     
    

    
     If Buyer cancels this Agreement before the expiration of the Review Period, as permitted under this Section, except for any escrow cancellation fees charged by the Title Company and any liabilities under the first paragraph of Section 5 of this Agreement and those provisions stating otherwise (which will survive), Seller (after execution of such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) shall return to Buyer its Earnest Money and Buyer will have absolutely no rights, claims or interest of any type in connection with the Property or this transaction, regardless of any alleged conduct by Buyer, Seller or anyone else.
    

     
    

    
     If Buyer fails to close this transaction at no fault of Seller, Buyer will be irrevocably deemed in default of this Agreement. Upon default by Buyer, Seller may, as its option, retain the Earnest Money as its sole and exclusive remedy and declare this Agreement null and void, in which event Buyer will be deemed to have cancelled this Agreement and relinquish all rights in and to the Property, or Seller may exercise its rights hereunder. The Review Period will be deemed satisfied if Buyer has deposited the Earnest Money as required by Section 4 hereof, and this agreement is not cancelled.
    

     
    

    	
     Closing Date.  Escrow shall close (the “Closing”) on or before fifteen (15) days following the expiration of the Review Period set forth below (the “Closing Date”), unless the parties mutually agree otherwise.
    

 
    

    	
     Escrow.  Escrow shall be opened upon execution of this Agreement by both parties. A copy of this Agreement will be delivered to the Title Company and will serve as escrow instructions together with the Title Company’s standard instructions, any additional instructions required by Seller and/or Buyer or their respective counsels, and any additional instructions required by the Title Company to clarify its rights and duties. The parties agree to sign these additional instructions. If there is any conflict between these other instructions and this Agreement, this Agreement shall control.
    

 
    

    	
     Title.  Buyer, within three (3) business days of the Effective Date, shall order an updated title insurance commitment, along with underlying documents to include any easement or declarations/CAM affecting the Property, for an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy (collectively, the “Title Commitment”). Closing will be conditioned on the agreement of the Title Company to issue an Owner’s Title Insurance Policy, dated as of the Closing Date, in an amount equal to the Purchase Price, insuring that Buyer will own insurable fee simple title to the Property subject only to: the Title Company’s standard exceptions; current real property taxes and assessments; survey exceptions; the rights of parties in possession pursuant to the Lease; the Permitted Exceptions, as defined herein. Buyer shall, at its sole expense, order and obtain an updated survey of the Property. Buyer hereby acknowledges that if Buyer desires to remove the survey exception from the Title Commitment, it shall be Buyer’s responsibility to obtain such updated survey. Seller shall have no obligation to execute any “no change” or equivalent affidavit with respect to the existing survey of the real property, nor shall Seller have any obligation to make any representations or warranties regarding such survey or any measurements or depictions thereon.
    

 
    

    
     Buyer shall be allowed ten (10) days after receipt of said Title Commitment for examination and the making of any title objections thereto (the “Title Objections”), said Title Objections to be made in writing or deemed waived (such written notice of Buyer’s Title Objections to be hereinafter referred to as the “Notice of Objections”). Except as set forth below, any title exception disclosed by the Title Commitment or Buyer’s survey and not listed in such Notice of Objections shall be deemed a “Permitted Title Exception” under this Agreement.
    

     
    

    
     If Seller shall fail to cure (or commence to cure) or eliminate all the Title Objections listed in the Notice of Defect within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the Notice of Objections (the “Title Cure Period”), then Buyer may elect either to: (a) accept the Property subject to the title exception(s) not cured (in which case such title exception(s) shall become a Permitted Title Exception(s) hereunder), or (b) terminate this Agreement.
    

     
    

    
     In the event that Seller agrees to cure a Title Objection and commences such cure, but the same cannot be cured within the Title Cure Period, the Buyer may, by written notice to Seller, preserve such Title Objection such that the cure of such Title Objection shall be a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close. Buyer shall elect to either accept the Property subject to the Permitted Exceptions or terminate the Agreement by written notice to Seller delivered within three (3) business days following the end of the Title Cure Period, and the failure to deliver such election notice shall constitute an election to proceed under clause (a) above.  Any mortgage, security deed, lien, lis pendens, judgment, or other claim in a liquidated amount incurred by Seller during Seller’s ownership of the Property and which constitutes an exception to the title to the Property shall not in any event be a Permitted Title Exception hereunder, but such claim shall be paid or satisfied out of the sums payable by Buyer at Closing, and the proceeds of sale payable to Seller shall be reduced accordingly; provided that such claim must have arisen directly from the acts or omissions of Seller, and not those of the Tenant.
    

     
    

    
     At any time after the Effective Date of this Agreement and prior to Closing, Buyer shall have the right to notify Seller of any additional title exception which first appears of record after the effective date of the Title Commitment, or otherwise becomes known to Buyer. Buyer shall be allowed three (3) business days after notice of such additional title exception for examination and the making of any new Title Objections thereto by written notice to Seller (“Notice of New Objections”). Except as set forth herein, any title exception disclosed to Buyer and not listed in such Notice of New Objections shall be deemed a Permitted Title Exception. If Seller shall fail to cure (or commence to cure) or eliminate all the new Title Objections listed in the Notice of New Objections within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Notice of New Objections (the “Second Title Cure Period”), then Buyer may elect either to: (a) accept the Property subject to the new title exception(s) not cured (in which case such new title exception(s) shall become a Permitted Title Exception(s) hereunder), or (b) terminate this Agreement.
    

     
    

    	
     Closing Costs.  Seller shall pay all transfer taxes (state, county, and municipal, as applicable) and one-half of the base premium of the Standard Owner’s Title Insurance Policy in the full amount of the Purchase Price. Seller shall pay any and all brokerage commissions to Sands Investment Group Louisiana, LLC / Sands Investment Group, Inc. per separate agreement. Except for Seller’s Broker and Buyer’s Broker, both parties represent to the other that they have not been represented by a broker, and agree to hold the other harmless from any claim of brokerage commission by, through, or as a result of representation of the other party. 
    

 
    

    
     Buyer shall pay one-half of the Standard Owner’s Title Insurance Policy premium in the full amount of the Purchase Price along with the full cost of any title search and exam fees, and any endorsements or extended coverage Buyer may require for such policy. Buyer will pay any and all recording fees. Buyer will pay the cost of updating any due diligence provided by Seller, including the cost of an updated survey to be ordered by Buyer as set forth in Section 8 above. Buyer and Seller will split all escrow and closing fees equally. Each party will pay its own attorney’s fees and costs to document and close this transaction.
    

     
    

    	
     Real Estate Taxes, Insurance, Special Assessments and Prorations.  The responsibility for all real property taxes for the current tax period and all expenses (including but not limited to common area maintenance expenses and fees), if any, that are the responsibility of Seller, shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date. Tenant shall maintain in effect all polices of casualty and liability insurance, or similar policies of insurance, with the same limits of coverage which it now carriers with respect to the Property in accordance with the Lease.
    

 
    

    
     All income and all operating expenses from the Property, if any, shall be prorated between the parties and adjusted by them as of the Closing Date. Seller shall be entitled to all income earned, and shall be responsible for all expenses incurred, prior to the Closing Date. Buyer shall be entitled to all income earned, and shall be responsible for all operating expenses of the Property incurred, on and after the Closing Date.
    

     
    

    	
     Seller’s Representations and Agreements.
    

      	
         Seller represents and warrants as of this date that:
        
	
         Provided that Buyer performs its obligations as required, Seller agrees that it will not enter into any new contracts that would materially affect the Property and be binding on Seller after the Closing Date without Buyer’s prior consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
        

    

    
      	
         Except for the existing Lease with the existing Tenant, Seller is not aware of any leases of the Property.
        
	
         Seller has not received notice of any pending litigation or condemnation proceedings against the Property or Seller’s interest in the Property.
        
	
         Except as previously disclosed to Buyer and as permitted in paragraph (b) below, Seller is not aware of any contracts Seller has executed that would be binding on Buyer after the Closing Date.
        

    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    	
     Disclosures.
    

      	
         As of the Effective Date hereof, Seller has not received any notice of any material, physical, or mechanical defects of the Property, including without limitation, the plumbing, heating, air conditioning, and ventilating, electrical system. To the best of Seller’s knowledge without inquiry, all such items are in good operating condition and repair and in compliance with all applicable governmental, zoning, and land use laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements. If Seller shall receive any such notice to the contrary prior to the Closing Date, Seller will inform Buyer prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer may terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice and the Earnest Money will be returned. If Buyer does not inform Seller of its intent to terminate this Agreement, the Buyer shall have waived its right to terminate the contract under this provision.
        
	
         As of the Effective Date hereof, Seller has not received any notice that the use and operation of the Property is not in full compliance with applicable building codes, safety, fire, zoning, and land use laws, and other applicable local, state and federal laws, ordinances, regulations and requirements. If Seller shall receive any such notice to the contrary prior to the Closing Date, Seller will inform Buyer prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer may terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice and the Earnest Money will be returned. If Buyer does not inform Seller of its intent to terminate this Agreement, the Buyer shall have waived its right to terminate the contract under this provision.
        
	
         As of the Effective Date hereof, Seller has not received any notice that the Property is in violation of any federal, state or local law, ordinance, or regulations relating to industrial hygiene or the environmental conditions on, under, or about the Property, including, but not limited to, soil, and groundwater conditions. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, there is no proceeding or inquiry by any governmental authority with respect to the presence of Hazardous Materials on the Property or the migration of Hazardous Materials from or to other property. Buyer agrees that Seller will have no liability of any type to Buyer or Buyer’s successors, assigns, or affiliates in connection with any Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the Property either before or after the Closing Date, except such Hazardous Materials on or in connection with the Property arising out of Seller’s gross negligence or intentional misconduct. If Seller shall receive any such notice to the contrary prior to the Closing Date, Seller will inform Buyer prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer may terminate this Agreement within ten (10) days after receipt of Seller’s notice and the Earnest Money will be returned. If Buyer does not inform Seller of its intent to terminate this Agreement, the Buyer shall have waived its right to terminate the contract under this provision.
        
	
         Buyer agrees that it is purchasing the Property in its present condition, “as is, where is,” and Seller has no obligations to construct or repair any improvements thereon or to perform any other act regarding the Property, except as expressly provided herein.
        
	
         Buyer acknowledges that, having been given the opportunity to inspect the Property, Buyer is relying solely on its own investigation of the Property and not on any representations or information provided by Seller or to be provided by Seller, except as set forth herein. Buyer further acknowledges that the information provided, or to be provided, by Seller with respect to the Property was obtained from a variety of sources and Seller has not (a) made independent investigation or verification of such information, and (b) makes no representations as to the accuracy or completeness of such information, except as herein set forth. The sale of the Property as provided for herein is made on an “as-is, where-is” basis and Buyer expressly acknowledges that, in consideration of the agreements of Seller herein, except as otherwise specified herein, Seller makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, or arising by operation of law, including, but not limited to, any warranty of condition, habitability, suitability for lease, suitability for commercial purposes, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose, in respect of the Property. Seller makes no representations of any sort that ownership of the Property will result in a profit to any Buyer.
        
	
         Buyer acknowledges that Seller cannot, and does not, make any representation as to (a) the success, or lack thereof, of the Property or continuation of the Lease post-Closing, or (b) the appropriateness of purchasing the Property for the Buyer’s individual tax or financial situation or tax or financial objectives. Buyer acknowledges that he or she is relying solely upon his or her own examination of the Property and all facts surrounding the purchase of the Property including the merits and risks involved therein.
        

    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    
     The Parties agree that the provisions of this Section 12, subsections (a) through (f), shall survive the Closing Date for a period of six (6) months.
    

     
    

    	
     Closing.
    

      	
         Before the Closing Date, Seller will deposit into escrow an executed special or limited warranty deed warranting title against lawful claims by, through, or under a conveyance from Seller, but not further or otherwise, conveying insurable title of the Property to Buyer, subject to the exceptions provided herein.
        
	
         On or before the Closing Date, Buyer will deposit into escrow the balance of the Purchase Price when required hereunder and any additional funds required of Buyer (pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreement executed by Buyer) to close escrow. Both parties will deliver to the Title Company any other documents reasonably required by the Title Company to close escrow.

         On or before the Closing Date, Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to Escrow Agent an estoppel certificate signed by the Tenant in the form as delivered to Seller by Buyer, or on Tenant’s standard form.
        
	
         If required by the terms of the Lease, on or before the Closing Date, Seller will deposit into escrow a notice to Tenant of the sale of the Property to Buyer and of the Assignment and Assumption of Lease, such notice to be delivered by the Title Company to Tenant upon Closing.

     Defaults.  IN THE EVENT THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY AS CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER IS NOT CONSUMMATED BY REASON OF A DEFAULT OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE EARNEST MONEY (INCLUDING ALL INTEREST EARNED FROM THE INVESTMENT THEREOF) SHALL BE PAID TO AND RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AS A RESULT OF SUCH DEFAULT.

BUYER HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES, RELINQUISHES AND RELEASES ANY OTHER RIGHT OR REMEDY AVAILABLE TO IT AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR OTHERWISE BY REASON OF SELLER’S INABILITY OR FAILURE TO PERFORM ITS OBLIGATIONS.
    

 
    

    	
     Buyer’s Representations and Warranties.
    

      	
         Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as follows:
          	
             In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and contemplated to be performed, executed, and delivered by Buyer, Buyer shall perform, execute and deliver or cause to be performed, executed, and delivered at the closing or after the Closing Date, any and all further acts, deeds and assurances as Seller or the Title Company may require and be reasonable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated herein.
            
	
             Buyer has all requisite power and authority to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and has by proper proceedings duly authorized the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby.
            
	
             To Buyer’s knowledge, neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby will violate or be in conflict with (a) any applicable provisions of law, (b) any order of any court or other agency of government having jurisdiction hereof, or (c) any agreement or instrument to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is bound.
            

        

    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    	
     Damages, Destruction and Eminent Domain.
    

      	
         If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property or any part thereof be destroyed or further damaged by fire, the elements, or any cause, due to events occurring subsequent to the date of this Agreement to the extent that the cost of repair exceeds $10,000.00, this Agreement shall become null and void, at Buyer’s option exercised, if at all, by written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received written notice from Seller of said destruction or damage. Seller, however, shall have the right to adjust or settle any insured loss until (i) all contingencies set forth in Paragraph 5 hereof have been satisfied, or waived; and (ii) any ten-day period provided for above in this Subparagraph 16a for Buyer to elect to terminate this Agreement has expired or Buyer has, by written notice to Seller, waived Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer elects to proceed and to consummate the purchase despite said damage or destruction, there shall be no reduction in or abatement of the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer the Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to all insurance proceeds (pro-rata in relation to the Property) resulting from said damage or destruction to the extent that the same are payable with respect to damage to the Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Property.
        
	
         If the cost of repair is less than $10,000.00, Seller shall credit Buyer for the cost of the repairs. Buyer shall then be obligated to otherwise perform hereunder.
        
	
         If, prior to the Closing Date, the Property, or any part thereof, is taken by eminent domain, this Agreement shall become null and void at Buyer’s option. If Buyer elects to proceed to consummate the purchase despite said taking, there shall be no reduction in, or abatement of, the Purchase Price, and Seller shall assign to Buyer the Seller’s right, title, and interest in and to any award made, or to be made, in the condemnation proceeding pro-rata in relation to the Property, subject to rights of any Tenant of the Property.
        
	
         In the event that this Agreement is terminated by Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, the Earnest Money shall be immediately returned to Buyer after execution by Buyer of such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof.
        

    

     
    

     
    

     
    

     
    

    	
     1031 Exchange.  Buyer hereby acknowledges that Seller desires and intends to structure this transaction as a tax-deferred exchange pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. Accordingly, Buyer agrees that Buyer shall, at no additional cost, obligation, or liability to Buyer, cooperate with and assist Buyer in perfecting such an exchange, provided that the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereby is not thereby delayed by fault of Buyer.  
    

 
    

    
     Seller is selling the Property for purposes of a tax-deferred exchange, and Seller acknowledges that Buyer has made no representations, warranties, or agreements to Seller or Seller’s agents that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will qualify for such tax treatment, nor has there been any reliance thereon by Seller respecting the legal or tax implications of the transaction contemplated hereby. Seller further represents that it has sought and obtained such third-party advice and counsel as it deems necessary regarding the tax implications of this transaction.
    

     
    

    
     If Seller wishes to novate/assign the ownership rights and interest of this Purchase Agreement to a third party who will act as accommodator to perfect the 1031 exchange by preparing an agreement of exchange of real property, the accommodator will be an independent third party to be chosen by Seller in Seller’s sole discretion, purchasing the Seller’s interest in the Property from Seller and selling such ownership interest in the Property to Buyer under the same terms and conditions as documented in this Agreement. 
    

     
    

    
     If Buyer is purchasing the Property in relation to a tax-deferred exchange, Buyer acknowledges that Seller has made no representations, warranties, or agreements to Buyer or Buyer’s agents that the transaction contemplated by this Agreement will qualify for such tax treatment, nor has there been any reliance thereon by Buyer respecting the legal or tax implications of the transaction contemplated hereby. Buyer further represents that it has sought and obtained such third-party advice and counsel as it deems necessary regarding the tax implications of this transaction.

If any party elects to cancel this Agreement because of any breach by another party or because escrow fails to close by the agreed date, the party electing to cancel shall deliver to Escrow Agent a notice containing the address of the party in breach and stating that this Agreement shall be cancelled unless the breach is cured within three (3) days following the delivery of the notice to the breaching party. Within three (3) days after receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent shall send it by a nationally recognized courier service guaranteeing overnight delivery to the party in breach at the address contained in the Notice and no further notice shall be required.

     Choice of Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with the laws of the state in which the Property is located.

     Miscellaneous.
    

      	
         This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement signed by both Seller and Buyer, and all waivers must be in writing and signed by the waiving party. Time is of the essence. This Agreement will not be construed for or against a party whether or not that party has drafted this Agreement. If there is any action or proceeding between the parties relating to this Agreement the prevailing party will be entitled to recover attorney’s fees and costs. This is an integrated agreement containing all agreements of the parties about the Property and the other matters described and it supersedes any other agreements or understandings. Exhibits attached to this Agreement are incorporated into this Agreement.
        
	
         If this escrow has not closed by the Closing Date through no fault of Seller, Seller may, at its election, extend the Closing Date or exercise any remedy available to it by law, including terminating this Agreement.
        
	
         Funds to be deposited or paid by Buyer must be good and clear funds in the form of cash, cashier’s checks or wire transfers, subject to the Title Company’s requirements.
        
	
         Buyer shall have the right to assign this Contract at Closing to any entity or entities affiliated with or related to Buyer without the consent of Seller (provided that Buyer shall notify Seller at least five (5) days prior to Closing to allow the parties to modify the Closing documentation accordingly).  Other than the foregoing, Buyer shall not be entitled to assign any of its right, title, and interest herein without Seller’s prior consent. Any assignee shall expressly assume all of Buyer’s duties, obligations, and liabilities hereunder, and Buyer shall not be released from any of its obligations hereunder.
        
	
         Whenever the last day for the exercise of any right or the discharge of any obligation under this Contract shall fall upon a Saturday, Sunday, or any public or legal holiday, the party having such right or obligation shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Central Standard Time) on the next succeeding regular business day to exercise such right or discharge such obligation.  Time is of the essence of this Contract.
        
	
         The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall not affect or impair any other provisions hereof.
        
	
         All of the provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Parties hereto.
        
	
         No failure to strictly enforce any provision hereof shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other provision hereof or of any subsequent breach by the other party of the same or any other provision.
        
	
         This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts by the Parties hereto.  All counterparts shall be construed together and shall constitute one agreement.  Each counterpart shall be deemed an original hereof notwithstanding less than all of the Parties may have executed it.  All facsimile and emailed executions shall be treated as originals for all purposes.
        
	
         The Parties agree to sign any and all further documents reasonably necessary to implement the terms hereof.
