Paragraph 16 (j) of the purchase agreement between 1277 LLC and the Brooklyn Center Economic Development Authority (EDA) specifies the following: "(j) Following Closing, Buyer shall enter into separate contracts far (i) salvage of equipment and materials from the improvements located on the Property, (ii) demolition of existing improvements located on the Property and (iii) remediation and monitoring work on the Property. With respect to the salvage contract, Buyer will in good faith obtain at least three (3) bids for such work and Seller shall be entitled to the amount to be paid to buyer under the highest bid for the salvage rights to the property. Buyer shall pay such amount to Seller within ten (10) days of Buyer's receipt of such payment (s). In addition, Buyer agrees to take commercially reasonable actions to enforce Buyers rights under such salvage contract". The word "Buyer's" in the last sentence of the above paragraph appears to be a typo and it is assumed that this word should read "Seller's".
