Grantee, its heirs, successors, and assigns, shall not sell or otherwise  dispose of the Property or any part thereof except after first offering the same for sale to Grantor, its heirs, successors, and assigns, upon the same terms and conditions as those contained in any bona fide offer received by and acceptable to the Grantee. Upon receipt of any bona fide offer acceptable to Grantee, Grantee shall notify Grantor in writing, setting forth in detail all terms and conditions of the offer, and shall offer to sell the Property or any portion thereof to Grantor upon those same terms. Upon receipt of written notice, Grantor's Governing Body shall place the offer on its Regular Agenda for consideration and may elect, by a simple majority of its full membership, either to purchase the Property on the terms offered or to decline to purchase the Property. If Grantor's Governing Body elects to purchase the Property, it shall, within forty-five (45) days of Grantee's written notice, notify Grantee in writing of its acceptance of the offer. If Grantor's Governing Body declines to purchase the Property, then Grantor shall, within sixty (60) days of Grantee's written notice, provide to Grantee a recordable instrument releasing the right, title, and interest of Grantor in and to the Property. This Right of First Refusal shall constitute a real property interest in the Property that runs with the land. The Right of First Refusal shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns;

TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Property aforesaid, with all and singular the rights, privileges, appurtenances, and immunities thereto belonging or in anywise appertaining unto the Grantee, forever. Grantor hereby covenants that, except as set forth above, at the delivery of the Property, it is lawfully seized in its own right of an absolute and indefeasible estate in fee simple of and in all the above-described Property, except as set forth above, that the same is free, clear, discharged, and unencumbered of and from all former and other grants, titles charges, estates, judgments, taxes, assessments, and encumbrances, of whatever nature or kind and that Grantor will warrant and forever defend the same unto Grantee, its heirs, successors, and assigns, against all and every person or persons whomsoever lawfully claim or asserting claim to the same
