Title Matters Seller agrees to share equally with Buyer the closing costs and the cost of a title insurance company's commitment for and policy of title insurance. Buyer shall pay for any lender’s/mortgagee’s/instrument holder’s title insurance coverage. The title insurance company will furnish a copy of the commitment for title insurance and copies of all of the exception documents referred to therein (hereafter collectively referred to as the “Title Commitment”) to Seller, Buyer, Buyer’s lender and the listing/selling broker as promptly as possible. The Title Commitment shall show a merchantable title vested in Seller, subject to easements, restrictions and protective covenants of record, right-of-way’s, setbacks, tenant rights, trees, fences, ordinances and regulations, unmatured and future assessments, restrictions and protective covenants of record, provided no forfeiture provisions as contained therein, encroachments and overlaps, zoning laws, ordinances and regulations, those exceptions which are standard to a policy of title insurance in the State of Kansas or as specified herein, and those matters attaching to the title by reason of Buyer taking title to the real property. Buyer shall have a period of five (5) days following receipt of the Title Commitment (the “Objection Period”) in which to examine the Title Commitment and advise Seller in writing of any objections ("Title Objections") the Buyer may have to Seller's title as shown in the Title Commitment. Seller shall then have a period of five (5) days in which to notify Buyer in writing of those Title Objections it elects to cure. In the event Seller elects to cure less than all of the Title Objections, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice thereof within five (5) days of its receipt of Seller's notice, in which case the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money shall be returned to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder. In the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement, Seller shall have until Closing ("Cure Period") in which to cure the Title Objections the Seller has elected to cure, which the Buyer Agrees to extend for an additional 45 days in the event Seller has initiated a lawsuit to cure the title objection or objections. Title Objections may also be cured in accordance with applicable current titled standards in the Kansas Title Standards Handbook.
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 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.
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 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.
