Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has provided to Buyer a copy of an existing survey of each Property, and Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, obtain an update of each survey (the “Surveys”). It shall be a condition to Closing that the Title Company shall be committed to issue to Buyer an ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance for each Property, in an amount equal to the Allocated Purchase Price and insuring title to each Property is vested in Buyer, subject only to the “Permitted Exceptions” (as hereinafter defined) and including only the “Endorsements” (as hereinafter defined) (individually and collectively, the “Title Policy”). The following matters shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”: all matters disclosed by the Title Commitments other than (A) those matters which the Title Company has removed from the Title Commitment by written supplement and (B) those “Mandatory Cure Items” (as hereinafter defined). “Mandatory Cure Items” shall mean (1) those matters which Seller has agreed in writing to cause to be removed at or before Closing in accordance with, and subject to, Paragraph 3(c), (2) any mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar encumbrance evidencing outstanding indebtedness voluntarily created by Seller which can be satisfied by the payment of an ascertainable amount of money, and (3) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or broker’s liens filed against a Property as a result of Seller’s acts or omissions (e.g., failure to pay) which can be satisfied by the payment of an ascertainable amount of money. The “Endorsements” shall include only those endorsements which, prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Title Company has agreed in writing to include in the applicable Title Policy or Seller has agreed in writing to cause to be included in such Title Policy;

Title and Survey Matters 4.1 As soon as practicable after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser a standard owner's policy of title insurance issued by the Title Insurer/Escrow Agent ("TITLE POLICY"). The Title Policy shall insure marketable title to the Property in the amount of the Purchase Price, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and exceptions whatsoever, save and except only for those easements, restrictions and other matters of record affecting title to the Property which are Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined).
4.2 Purchaser shall have until the end of the Due Diligence Period (as hereinafter defined) in which to review the title commitment and as-built survey to be delivered by Seller pursuant to Section 5.1, and to obtain any modifications, endorsements or other revisions to either the title commitment or the survey required by Purchaser, at Purchaser's cost. If Purchaser is unable to obtain any modification, endorsement or other revision to the title commitment or survey required by Purchaser, or if any items remain on the title commitment or survey which are not acceptable to Purchaser ("UNPERMITTED EXCEPTIONS"), then on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall so notify Seller (an "OBJECTION NOTICE"). Seller has a period of ten (10) days after the date of the Objection Notice in which Seller, using good faith efforts, shall attempt to remove such Unpermitted Matters or remedy same in a manner satisfactory to Purchaser in its sole and absolute discretion, or have the Title Insurer/Escrow Agent commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such exceptions (in endorsements satisfactory to Purchaser). If Seller does not cure any Unpermitted Exceptions to Purchaser's satisfaction within such period, then Purchaser may either (a) terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller of such termination not later than five (5) days following the end of the ten (10) day cure period, in which event the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, and all interest earned thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations or liabilities hereunder or (b) accept such Unpermitted Exceptions. Any item not specified in the Objection Notice or subsequently accepted by Purchaser shall be a "PERMITTED EXCEPTION". Seller shall be obligated to remove prior to Closing all mortgages and other liens or encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable monetary amount, and if Seller fails to do so, Purchaser may elect to terminate this Agreement. At the Closing, and as a further condition of Purchaser's performance of its obligations hereunder, Seller shall cause the Title Insurer/Escrow Agent to deliver to Purchaser the Title Policy or a marked-up and signed commitment to deliver same.
Title and Survey (a) The Seller shall order and cause to be delivered to each of the Buyer and the Seller a commitment for the Title Policy from the Title Company, together with all underlying title exception documents. The Buyer shall, at its expense, order and cause to be delivered to each of the Buyer and the Seller, an ALTA survey of the Property. After receipt of the survey and the title commitment, the Buyer shall notify the Seller of any defects in title or survey shown by such commitment and/or ALTA survey that the Buyer is unwilling to accept. Within 5 days after such notification, the Seller shall notify the Buyer whether the Seller is willing to cure such defects; the Seller’s failure to so notify the Buyer shall be deemed to be the Seller’s refusal to cure all such defects (except for any defects consisting of those items in the last sentence of this SECTION 3.2 below expressly required to be cured by the Seller). The Seller may cure any defect by causing the Title Company, at the Seller’s sole cost and expense, to omit such defect as an exception to the Title Policy or to “insure over” such defect to the Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction. If the Seller is willing to cure such defects, the Seller shall act promptly, diligently and use commercially reasonable efforts to cure such defects at its expense. Subject to those items below expressly required to be cured by the Seller, if the Seller is unwilling or unable to cure any other such defects by Closing (or fails to notify Buyer and therefore has elected not to cure such defects), then the Buyer shall elect, within 5 days after written notice thereof from the Seller to the Buyer (or within 5 days after the Seller’s time for giving notice has expired without any notice from the Seller), by giving the Seller written notice that the Buyer either (i) waives such defects and shall proceed to Closing without any abatement in the Purchase Price with respect thereto, or (ii) terminates this Agreement and shall be entitled to receive a full and immediate refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money and, upon return of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, this Agreement shall terminate and the Buyer and the Seller shall have no further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder (except as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement). In the event that the Buyer does not make such election within the applicable time frame, the Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive any such defects pursuant to clause (i) above. Subject to those items below expressly required to be cured by the Seller, all title matters not objected to by the Buyer during the Study Period (or objected to but which the Seller declines, or is deemed to decline, to cure as provided above without the Buyer thereafter electing to terminate this Agreement) shall be deemed “Permitted Title Exceptions.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any such defects of title consist of mortgages or deeds of trust, any other monetary liens and/or tax liens (other than liens for taxes not yet due and payable), the Buyer shall be deemed to have notified the Seller that the Buyer is unwilling to accept such defects and the Seller covenants and agrees that at or prior to Closing the Seller shall cure by payment, bonding, or escrow deposit acceptable to the Title Company (and the Escrow Agent is authorized to pay and discharge at Closing from the Seller’s proceeds, if not so cured) and cause to be cancelled and discharged such monetary title defects.
(b) The Seller shall promptly bring to the Buyer’s attention any defect in title which the Seller becomes aware of and which were created by, under or through the Seller to the extent not included in the initial title commitment received by the Buyer pursuant to SECTION 3.2(a) (each, an “Intervening Lien”). To the extent that there exist any Intervening Liens, other than the Permitted Title Exceptions, the Seller may, at its sole option, undertake, at its expense, all necessary actions to remove and cure any and all such Intervening Liens prior to Closing; provided, however, that in the event that the Seller elects not to remove and cure any Intervening Liens, other than the Permitted Title Exceptions, and such exist at Closing, the Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement whereupon the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned immediately to the Buyer, and, upon return of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money, this Agreement shall terminate and the Buyer and the Seller shall have no further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder (except as expressly survive the termination of this Agreement); provided, further, the Seller shall have the unconditional commitment to remove any Intervening Lien, other than the Permitted Title Exceptions, created directly by the affirmative actions of the Seller, or to the extent created at the Seller’s express direction by its agents and/or representatives (including the Manager), and the failure to so remove shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
Title Evidence Seller agrees to share equally with Buyer the closing agent costs and the cost of a title insurance company’s commitment and standard ALTA form owner’s policy (except survey matters) to the Property, showing a marketable title vested in Seller, subject to easements, restrictions, covenants, and other matters of record. Any endorsements shall be paid solely by Buyer. The title evidence shall be presented to prospective Buyer on day of auction. Buyer acknowledges: (a) receipt of the title commitment prior to entering into this agreement; (b) review of the title commitment to the Buyer’s full satisfaction; and (c) waiver of any right to object to any exceptions listed therein. If Seller fails to satisfy all such title requirements imposed on Seller pursuant to title commitment, Buyer may, as its sole remedy and at Buyer’s election, either: (a) cancel this agreement and receive a return of Buyer’s ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ money and, in that event, this Agreement will be canceled and the parties will have no further obligations to each other; or (b) accept such title as Seller can deliver. Buyer waives any right to seek specific performance or to seek damages from Seller.
