<strong>with</strong>held by Buyer in Buyer’s sole <strong>and</strong> absolute discretion. Further (but <strong>with</strong>out limiting the generality of the<br />

<strong>Agreement</strong> <strong>and</strong> to assume, pay <strong>and</strong> perform all of the duties, obligations, agreements <strong>and</strong> covenants of Seller under<br />

this <strong>Agreement</strong> from <strong>and</strong> after the effective date of the applicable assignment. The covenants of Seller in this<br />

be issued or granted by Seller <strong>with</strong> respect to the Property, constitute independent actions <strong>and</strong> approvals by Seller,<br />

applicable thereto.<br />

enter into this <strong>Agreement</strong> <strong>and</strong> to carry out Seller’s obligations hereunder has been, or on the date of the applicable<br />

Closing will have been, taken. The individual executing this <strong>Agreement</strong> on behalf of Seller has the full right,<br />

is a party, or by which it is bound, <strong>and</strong> that is to be used in connection <strong>with</strong>, or is contemplated by, this <strong>Agreement</strong>,<br />

or (B) could materially <strong>and</strong> adversely affect the ability of Seller to perform Seller’s obligations hereunder, or under<br />

any document to be delivered pursuant hereto.<br />

written notice, of any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings pending or threatened in writing against all or<br />
