Title Commitment and Survey (a) Buyer has received and reviewed a copy of the Title Commitment and the Existing Survey. Buyer is solely responsible for obtaining any updated title commitments, surveys, or any other title related matters Buyer desires with respect to the Assets at Buyer’s sole cost and expense. Buyer shall have until not later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date that is no later than ten (10) days prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period (the “Title Report Objection Date”), to notify Seller’s attorney in writing (the “Title Report Objection Notice”) as to any items shown on the Title Commitment (as updated if applicable) that Buyer believes are not Permitted Exceptions. Buyer’s failure to timely deliver the Title Report Objection Notice on or prior to the 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the Title Report Objection Date shall constitute Buyer’s irrevocable acceptance of the Title Commitment and Buyer shall be deemed to have unconditionally waived any right to object to any matters set forth therein. If Buyer timely delivers a Title Report Objection Notice, Seller shall have seven (7) days after receipt of such notice to notify Buyer (i) that Seller will remove or cause to be removed such objectionable exceptions from title on or before the Closing, in which case the provisions of subsection 8.3(b) shall apply; or (ii) that Seller elects not to cause such exceptions to be removed at which time Buyer may elect, prior to the end of the Due Diligence Period, to accept the Title in its current condition or terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall be promptly delivered to Seller and the parties shall have no further obligations to each other except for those that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. Nothing in this subsection shall require Seller, despite any election by Seller to attempt to discharge any title exceptions, to take or bring any action or proceeding or any other steps to remove any title exception or to expend any moneys therefor, other than with respect to the Pre-Effective Date Seller Encumbrances, Post Effective Date Monetary Encumbrances and Post Effective Date Seller Encumbrances (as hereinafter defined) pursuant to Section 8.3 of this Agreement.
Title Commitment (a) Purchaser has ordered a title insurance commitment with respect to the Real Property issued, by the Title Company (the “Title Commitment”). On or before July 25, 2013, Purchaser shall provide to Seller the Title Commitment, together with legible copies of the title exceptions listed thereon. On or before August 8, 2013 (the “Title Objection Date”), Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing, if there are (i) any monetary liens or other title exceptions that Purchaser objects to (“Title Objections”) or (ii) any Survey Objection. In the event Seller does not receive written notice of any Title Objections or Survey Objection by the Title Objection Date, TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE, then Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted or waived such exceptions to title set forth on the Title Commitment as permitted exceptions (as accepted or waived by Purchaser, the “Permitted Exceptions”) and shall be deemed to have waived its right to object to any Survey Objection.
(b) After the Title Objection Date, if the Title Company raises any new exception to title to the Real Property, Purchaser’s counsel shall have five (5) Business Days after he or she receives notice of such exception (the “New Objection Date”) (or as promptly as possible prior to the Closing if such notice is received with less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing), to provide Seller with written notice if such exception constitutes a Title Objection. In the event Seller does not receive notice of such Title Objection by the New Objection Date, Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the exceptions to title set forth on any updates to the Title Commitment as Permitted Exceptions.
(c) All taxes, water rates or charges, sewer rents and assessments, plus interest and penalties thereon, which on the Closing Date are liens against the Real Property and which Seller is obligated to pay and discharge will be credited against the Purchase Price (subject to the provision for apportionment of taxes, water rates and sewer rents herein contained) and shall not be deemed a Title Objection. If on the Closing Date there shall be security interests filed against the Real Property, such items shall not be Title Objections if (i) the personal property covered by such security interests are no longer in or on the Real Property, or (ii) such personal property is the property of a Tenant, and Seller executes and delivers an affidavit to such effect, or the security interest was filed more than five (5) year prior to the Closing Date and was not renewed.
(d) If on the Closing Date the Real Property shall be affected by any lien which, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, is required to be discharged or satisfied by Seller, Seller shall not be required to discharge or satisfy the same of record provided the money necessary to satisfy the lien is retained by the Title Company at Closing, and the Title Company either omits the lien as an exception from the title insurance commitment or insures against collection thereof from out of the Real Property, and a credit is given to Purchaser for the recording charges for a satisfaction or discharge of such lien.
(e) No franchise, transfer, inheritance, income, corporate or other tax open, levied or imposed against Seller or any former owner of the Property, that may be a lien against the Property on the Closing Date, shall be an objection to title if the Title Company insures against collection thereof from or out of the Real Property and/or the Improvements, and provided further that Seller deposits with the Title Company a sum of money or a parental guaranty reasonably acceptable to the Title Company and sufficient to secure a release of the Property from the lien thereof. If a search of title discloses judgments, bankruptcies, or other returns against other persons having names the same as or similar to that of Seller, Seller will deliver to Purchaser an affidavit stating that such judgments, bankruptcies or other returns do not apply to Seller, and such search results shall not be deemed Title Objections.
Title Commitments Buyer hereby acknowledges that Buyer has received from the Title Company a commitment to issue an A.L.T.A. Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (standard coverage) for each of the Properties, along with legible copies of all documents referenced in said title commitment (the “Title Commitments”), such that Buyer shall obtain from Escrow Agent at Closing an A.L.T.A. Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (standard coverage) (the “Title Policy”) insuring title to the Land (whether fee or leasehold, as applicable) with respect to the Properties. Buyer further acknowledges that Buyer has ordered a survey of the Land for each Property from licensed surveyors (each, a “Survey”). Buyer and Seller acknowledge that Buyer has submitted to Sellers and Title Company written notice from Buyer specifying any alleged defects in or objections to the title shown in the Title Commitments. Seller has agreed to cure or satisfy, as applicable, or cause to be cured or satisfied, at Sellers’ expense, only those matters set forth on Schedule 7.1, together with any monetary liens, mortgages, tax liens, tax redemption certificates, mechanics liens (including notices of commencement) and judgment liens encumbering the Properties and/or the Associated Property of an ascertainable amount (collectively, “Monetary Liens”, and together with the matters on Schedule 7.1, the “Seller Curative Matters”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that all other matters appearing on the Title Commitments and as may appear on any Survey, whether or not Buyer has yet received or reviewed any such Survey, are hereby deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions”. If Seller is unable to complete the cure of the Seller Curative Matters before Closing and such Seller Curative Matter has a Material Adverse Effect on a Property, Buyer shall have the right, in its absolute discretion, to elect, upon written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, to either (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a return of the Deposit or (ii) to take such title to the Property with no abatement of the Purchase Price (except for abatement to the extent of Monetary Liens). Failure by Buyer to deliver the notice referred to in the immediately preceding sentence shall be deemed an election under (ii) above, and failure of Seller to cure any Seller Curative Matter, and such failure has a Material Adverse Effect on a Property, shall be a Seller Default under this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to request, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, estoppels in form and substance prepared by Buyer from any associations, declarants under declarations or other third parties disclosed in the Title Commitments or related to Water Rights to the extent reasonably requested by Buyer or required by the Title Company to issue any endorsements required for the Title Policies, provided that the receipt of any such estoppels shall not be a condition to close. Further, Sellers hereby agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to, upon Buyer’s reasonable request and at Buyer’s expense (excluding any reimbursement for Seller’s legal counsel’s ministerial involvement in coordinating such curative matters), cure any defects revealed on a Survey that was not revealed on a prior survey provided to Buyer as part of the Due Diligence Materials, provided that such cure shall not be a condition to closing.
Preliminary Title Report (a) Within two (2) days following the Opening of Escrow, Seller shall provide Buyer a copy of its existing title insurance policy, exception documents and survey, and within twelve (12) days following the Opening of Escrow, Buyer will have prepared a Preliminary Title Report/Commitment for owners title insurance for the Property showing all liens, encumbrances and other matters affecting the title to the Property (the “Title Report”) and will provide a copy thereof together with legible copies of the documents shown as title exceptions or requirements therein to Seller. Buyer shall have ten (10) days following issuance of the Title Report to object, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, to any other items contained in the Title Report . Buyer shall have until the end of the Review Period to object to any items contained in the Survey (as that term is defined in Section 3.2). Should Buyer object to any provisions contained therein, Seller shall, within five (5) days of the receipt of any such objections, advise Buyer of which title objections it will cure. Thereafter, prior to the later of five (5) days following (x) the expiration of the Review Period or (y) receipt of Seller’s title response notice, Buyer may either: (i) reject the Title Report and the Survey, in which case this Agreement is terminated, the parties will have no further rights or obligations hereunder (except those which specifically survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Initial Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer without further instruction; or (ii) Buyer can choose to accept the Title Report and Survey by the placement of the Additional Deposit, which signifies acceptance of the Title Report and Survey. Any cure of title objections which Seller has elected to undertake shall be completed no later than five (5) days prior to the Closing Date. If such cure has not been completed by such time, Buyer may at such time either: (i) reject the Title Report and the Survey, in which case this Agreement is terminated, the parties will have no further rights or obligations hereunder (except those which specifically survive the termination of this Agreement) and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer without further instruction; or (ii) Buyer can choose to accept the Title Report and Survey.
(b) If any amended Title Reports are issued from the same title company after the expiration of the Review Period, Buyer shall have until five (5) business days following receipt of the same to review the amendment and to accept or reject any new matters set forth on Schedule B - Section 2 (Exceptions) to the amended Title Report which do not arise from the act or omission to act on the part of Buyer or its agents (the “New Exception(s)”) and shall be deemed to have accepted the New Exception(s) unless written notice of rejection is given to Seller on or before the expiration of said five (5) business days. If any New Exception(s) is rejected by Buyer and Seller does not, within five (5) business days after Buyer’s rejection of the New Exception, agree to remove the New Exception, Buyer may either: (i) reject the Title Report and the Survey, in which case this Agreement is terminated, the parties will have no further rights or obligations hereunder (except those which specifically survive the termination of this Agreement) and the Initial Deposit shall be immediately refunded to Buyer without further instruction; or (ii) Buyer can choose to accept the Title Report and Survey by the placement of the Additional Deposit, which signifies acceptance of the Title Report and Survey.
(c) In the event that Buyer accepts the Title Report, those matters listed on Schedule B, Section 2 (Exceptions to Title) of Title Report shall be the “Permitted Exceptions”. In no event shall Permitted Exceptions include liens, or documents evidencing liens, securing any indebtedness, any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or any claims or potential claims therefor covering the Property or any portion thereof (“Seller Liens”), each of which shall be paid in full by Seller and released at Closing.
(d) Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer to cause unacceptable matters to be removed from the Title Report, provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to expend money or obtain any endorsements in order to remove any title exceptions. Seller shall, however, cause any consensual monetary liens, if any, affecting the Property to be removed as of the Closing.
