(a) On or before the Closing Date, Seller shall cause a release of the Lien to be recorded in the Public Records, and Seller shall provide to Buyer and to the Title Company evidence of such release, which evidence shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the Title Company to remove the Lien from any policy of title insurance to be issued by the Title Company, or

(b) At Closing, a creditworthy principal of Seller (such creditworthiness to be determined at Buyer’s reasonable discretion) (the “Indemnitor”) shall enter into a supplemental Indemnity Agreement (the “Indemnity”) with Buyer, and such Indemnity shall provide that Indemnitor shall indemnify, hold harmless and defend Buyer with counsel selected by or acceptable to Buyer against any and all losses, costs, expenses, damages, suits, claims or actions in any way relating to or arising from the Lien and/or claims of Eagle Brothers for amounts owed for work, services or materials supplied to or for the Property and shall be on such other terms and conditions as are satisfactory to Buyer in Buyer’s reasonable discretion.

(iii) Seller acknowledges and agrees that in the event Seller fails and refuses to perform as required in subsections (i) and (ii) above, such failure and refusal shall constitute a default by Seller under the Agreement, and Buyer shall be entitled to all of Buyer’s rights and remedies thereunder.
