5 recordation of a deed for the Property from Seller to Purchaser (the “Title Commitment”). The Title Commitment and the recorded documents referenced in the Title Commitment are collectively referred to as the “Title Evidence”. Section 4.2 Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser is not satisfied, in its sole and absolute discretion, with the condition of title, then Purchaser may notify Seller of any of the Title Evidence (each, an “Objection” and, collectively, “Objections”), which Objections must be in writing and must be delivered to Seller on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Seller will thereafter, at its election, have the right (but not the obligation) to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any or all such Objections to be cured on or before Closing (provided that with respect to Existing Liens (as defined below) Seller shall be obligated to take all efforts necessary to cause Existing Liens to be cured). If, Seller elects to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause any or all such Objections to be cured, and after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so, Seller is unable to cure one or more Objections (other than Existing Liens), Seller shall provide written notice (an “Inability to Cure Notice”) to Purchaser no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Objections (the “Response Deadline”). If Seller does not timely provide an Inability to Cure Notice to Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have elected to not cure any Objections. If Seller delivers an Inability to Cure Notice to Purchaser or does not timely deliver an Inability to Cure Notice, Purchaser may elect, in its sole and absolute discretion, to (a) terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Seller on or before the date occurring five (5) days after (1) the receipt of an Inability to Cure Notice or (2) the Response Deadline, if Seller does not timely deliver an Inability to Cure Notice, or (b) accept title subject to any Objections for which Seller is unable to cure as identified in an Inability to Cure Notice, other than any Existing Liens. All items to which Purchaser does not timely object in the Title Evidence, and all items that Purchaser has been deemed to have accepted pursuant to clause (b) of the prior sentence shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Permitted Exceptions”; provided, however, that in any event none of the following shall be deemed Permitted Exceptions and Seller shall in all cases be obligated to cure: (A) judgments against Seller or any affiliate of Seller, (B) mortgages, trust deeds, or other monetary liens (including, without limitation, any mechanics’, materialmen’s and/or vendors’ liens with respect to the Property, and any real estate tax liens other than liens for taxes and assessments not delinquent), (C) any matters affecting the Property created on or after the Effective Date that are not otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and/or (D) defects, obligations or exceptions of a definite and ascertainable amount that can be satisfied solely by the payment of cash (collectively, “Existing Liens”). If Purchaser does not timely provide Seller with a notice of title defects as provided above or does not terminate this Agreement due to Seller’s inability to cure such title defects, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all objections and defects to any matters of record title as of the Due Diligence Period Expiration Date, but not to any Existing Liens or new matters that arise thereafter. Section 4.3 Title Policy. At Closing, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts as set forth in Section 4.2 above to (i) cause the Title Company to issue and deliver to Purchaser an ALTA 2006 Owner’s Title Policy in accordance with the Title Commitment and showing no exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions, with extended coverage over all general exceptions, and insuring Purchaser as the owner of the Property (the “Title Policy”), and (ii) if Purchaser requests, execute and deliver to the Title Company an Affidavit of No Change in connection with the ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey of the Property dated April 15, 2008 and prepared by Rodney K. Young as Job Number SS#44005.DWG_JP (the “Existing Survey”), in

 

6 such form as is reasonably acceptable to the Title Company so as to permit removal of any standard survey exceptions in the Title Policy (the “Survey Affidavit”); provided that Seller shall only be required to provide a Survey Affidavit if no changes to the Property have occurred since the date of the Existing Survey and provided further that if Seller delivers the Survey Affidavit to Purchaser and its Title Company, Seller shall have no further obligation to Purchaser or its Title Company with respect to any survey matters in this Agreement or the Title Commitment or Title Policy. The cost of the Title Policy, including extended coverage shall be paid by Purchaser. Any additional endorsements as Purchaser or Purchaser’s lender, if any, may desire (“Additional Endorsements”) shall be paid for by Purchaser, and Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in all reasonable respects in order to enable Purchaser to obtain such Additional Endorsements, without any cost or expense to Seller.

If Purchaser so elects to terminate this Agreement, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive back the Earnest Money (together with all interest, if any, earned thereon) and reimburse Purchaser for any and all reasonable, actual and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses suffered or incurred by Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated under this Agreement, including without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and any costs of terminating the escrow and any cancellation fee for the Title Commitment in an amount up to $50,000.

Section 10.2 Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser shall default in any material obligation hereunder (which default is not cured within fifteen (15) days after demand by Seller), Seller shall

 

16 have the right, as its sole and exclusive remedy, to terminate its obligations under this Agreement by written notice thereof to Purchaser and to retain the Earnest Money as liquidated damages (provided, however, that nothing in this Section 10.2 shall be intended to limit Purchaser’s specific indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement or any agreement related to this Agreement).

PLEASE NOTE: The escrow trust fee for these joint order escrow trust instructions is due and payable within 30 days from the projected disbursement date (which may be amended by joint written direction of the parties hereto).
