Seller alone shall deal with state Farm in attempting to terminate the Other Contract, and Seller shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses involved in that effort (with the understanding that the oosts and expenses incurred by Seller in attempting to terminate the other Contract, if any, shall be incurred at the sole and arbitrary discretion of Seller). If Seller is unable to terminate the Other contract as of or prior to the Closin9, this Agreement shall then automatically terminate and both parties shall be released from all further liability and responsibility hereunder. This Agreement and all obligations of both Seller and Buyer hereunder are further contingent upon the final approval of this Agreement and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement by the OUblin city council.

Such proration as calculated at the ~ime of the Closing shall be final. g. El"1INENT DOXAIH: Buyer hereby acknowledges that during the course of negotiating this Agreement for the purchase of the SUbject premises, Buyer notified Seller that if suoh a voluntary sale and purchase could not be negotiated, Buyer would acquire the Subject Premises pursuant to its powers of eminent domain. Seller thereafter completed the negotiation of this Agreement, and is selling the subject premises to Buyer, under the threat of and in lieu of that exercise by Buyer of its powers of eminent domain. 10. ~J.OSING DOCl.,lMENT~: In addition to the deed described in section 5 hereof, Seller shall also execute and/or deliver to Buyer at the Closing (a) reasonable evidence that the person who executed this Agreement on behalf of Seller and any person who executes documents at the Closing on behalf of Seller was and is properly authorized to do 60, and that Seller is and will be bound by his or their actions, and (b) an Affidavit relating to off-record matters that may affect titie to the Subject Premises in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated herein by this reference. 11. ~LOSIN<:i: This transaction shall be closed not later than November 13, 1989, or if either contingency described in section 7 hereof has not been satisfied by that date, then on such later date as Buyer and Seller may mutually agree upon.

By way of illustration, if the original purchase price is $1,804,440 and the Closing occurs, at the request of Buyer and with the concurrence of Seller, on December 20, 1989, the adjusted purchase price would be two percent (2%) higher than the original purohase price, which would be the sum of $1,840,528.80.

MEMORANDUM TO: Members of Dublin City Council FROM: Denise King and Dan Sutphen SUBJECT: Recommendations from Public Service Committee Regarding Street Signage DATE: September 21, 1989 The Public Service Committee met with representatives of various civic organiza- tions regarding street signage, and the following are the recommendations of the Public Service Committee regarding same: 1. Recommend that the City use reflective brown signs with reflective letters, with the standard brown four-sided post; that the size for residential streets will be the same as it it now; that the size of the sign for the main streets be 9 x 48; that there be no shamrocks on the signs. 2. Regarding the issue of non-standard or distinctive signage, it is recommended that when a subdivision originally had distrinctive signage approved that they be allowed to retain that signage as long as it uses reflective letter- ing. Usage of the City's signs may be chosen. The posts, as they are replaced, must be designed to be breakaway; that the civic associations involved be required to purchase and obtain the signs and make them available to the City for installation. 3. Recommended that a fee be established for installation of the sign posts and that the fee be no more than $75.00 per post per installation. 4. When a subdivision chooses to eliminate distinctive signage and requests that the City standard issue signage be installed, that there be no fee assessed for the removal and replacement of those signs, but replacement will need to be done at a time when adequate funds are available in the budget. The distinctive posts, if removed, become the property of the City. Following discussion regarding the wooden posts already purchased by the Llewellyn Farms Civic Association (12 in number) it was agreed that the residents would be encouraged to put up the brown standard posts with the brown standard signs, and that the City would reimburse the Llewellyn Farms Civic Association for the 12 wooden posts already purchased.
