The Survey shall be prepared by a registered land surveyor licensed to do business in Alabama, shall contain a detailed legal description of the Land and such other matters as may be required by Buyer or Title Company.

(c) Removal of Encumbrances: Any liens, encumbrances or other items shown on the Survey or listed in the Title Commitment that are not specifically accepted by Buyer in writing (or that are expressly objected to by Buyer) shall be removed by Seller prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, or if the same consist of liens securing repayment or payment obligations, the same shall be paid in full and satisfied at Closing. If Seller notifies Buyer in writing that it is unable or unwilling to clear any defects or exceptions to title before or at Closing as aforesaid, Buyer shall have the right to either waive the same or terminate this Agreement.

SECTION 2.3 License to Enter: Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s agents a license to enter onto the Property and agrees to cooperate in allowing access to the Property for the purposes of conducting Buyer’s Due Diligence Review.
