Title Defect Adjustment Clause Samples

The Title Defect Adjustment clause outlines the process for addressing and rectifying issues related to defects in the legal title of a property or asset. Typically, this clause specifies how parties should notify each other of discovered title defects, the timeframe for making such notifications, and the methods for resolving or compensating for these defects, such as through price adjustments or corrective actions. Its core practical function is to ensure that both parties are protected from unforeseen title issues and to provide a clear mechanism for resolving disputes or discrepancies, thereby reducing the risk of future legal complications.
Title Defect Adjustment. (a) In the event any Title Defect, for which notice has been timely given as provided hereinabove, remains uncured as of Closing, Seller shall have the opportunity to cure, until sixty (60) days after Closing (“Cure Period”), such Title Defect. In the alternative, Seller may elect to (i) cure such Title Defect by indemnifying Buyer against any damages, claims or expenses that may arise out of such Title Defect, subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c) below, with no reduction in the Purchase Price; or (ii) reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the Title Defect Value as determined pursuant to Section 8.4, and subject to application of the twenty five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) deductible and the Aggregate Defect Basket described in Section 7.4. Should Seller elect either alternative “(i)” (indemnity) or “(ii)” (price reduction) in this Section 8.3(a), those Assets affected by the Title Defect shall be transferred to Buyer at Closing. (b) If Seller elects to attempt to cure a Title Defect after Closing, Closing with respect to the portion of the Assets affected by such Title Defect will be deferred (the “Closing Deferred Property”). Closing with respect to all other Assets will proceed as provided in this Agreement, but the Base Purchase Price delivered to Seller at such initial Closing shall be reduced by the Allocated Value of all Closing Deferred Properties. If Seller cures any Title Defect within the Cure Period, then the Closing with respect to the Closing Deferred Property for which such Title Defect has been cured will proceed and will be finalized within seven (7) days following the end of the Cure Period. If Seller fails or refuses to cure any Title Defect prior to the expiration of the Cure Period, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such failure or refusal promptly upon the expiration of the Cure Period. In this event, Buyer shall have the right to elect by written notice to Seller, which notice shall be delivered within seven (7) days after receipt by Buyer of Notice from Seller of such failure or refusal to cure any such Title Defect, to waive all of the Title Defects applicable to any Closing Deferred Property (which waived Title Defects shall be deemed Permitted Encumbrances) and proceed to Closing on such Closing Deferred Property. If Buyer does not elect to waive an existing Title Defect, Seller shall retain the Closing Deferred Property and the Parties shall have no further obligation with respect thereto. In the event t...

Related to Title Defect Adjustment

  • Title Defect (a) In the event Seller receives notice of any Survey Objection or Title Objection (collectively and individually a “Title Defect”) within the time periods required under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 above, Seller may elect (but shall not be obligated) to attempt to remove, or cause to be removed at its expense, any such Title Defect, and shall provide Purchaser with notice within five (5) days of its receipt of any such objection, of its intention to attempt to cure such any such Title Defect. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any Title Defect, the Scheduled Closing Date shall be extended for a period of twenty (20) days for the purpose of such removal. In the event that (i) Seller elects not to attempt to cure any such Title Defect, or (ii) Seller is unable to cure any such Title Defect within such twenty (20) days from the Scheduled Closing Date, Seller shall so notify Purchaser and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 6.3(a) and receive a refund of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit, together with all interest which has accrued thereon, or to waive such Title Defect and proceed to the Closing. Purchaser shall make such election by written notice to Seller within three (3) days after receipt of Seller’s notice. If Seller has elected to cure a Title Defect and thereafter fails to timely cure such Title Defect, and Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement, then (i) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to third parties in connection with this transaction incurred after the date on which Seller informed Purchaser of its election to cure the Title Defect, not to exceed the Reimbursement Cap, and (ii) Purchaser shall promptly return Purchaser’s Information to Seller, after which neither party shall have any further obligation to the other under this Agreement except for the Termination Surviving Obligations. If Purchaser elects to proceed to the Closing, any Title Defects waived by Purchaser shall be deemed to constitute Permitted Exceptions, and there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price. If, within the three-day period, Purchaser fails to notify Seller of Purchaser’s election to terminate, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the Title Defect and to have elected to proceed to the Closing. (b) Notwithstanding any provision of this Article VI to the contrary, Seller shall be obligated to cure exceptions to title to the Property, in the manner described above, relating to liens and security interests securing any financings to Seller, any judgment liens, which are in existence on the Effective Date, or which come into existence after the Effective Date, and any mechanic’s liens resulting from work at the Property commissioned by Seller; provided, however, that any such mechanic’s lien may be cured by bonding in accordance with Pennsylvania law. In addition, Seller shall be obligated to pay off any outstanding real estate taxes that were due and payable prior to the Closing (but subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 10.4 below).

  • Title Defects 9.1 Purchaser shall have until April 21, 1999 in which to examine the Commitment and the Surveys. If Purchaser finds title to be defective, Purchaser shall, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, notify Seller in writing, specifying the title defect(s). If Purchaser fails to give Seller written notice of any title defect(s) before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, the defects shown in the Commitment or the Surveys shall be deemed to be waived as title objections to closing this transaction. 9.2 If Purchaser has given Seller timely written notice of defect(s) and the defect(s) render the title other than as represented in this Agreement or if any new defects appear from the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause only those defects recorded after October 7, 1997 to be cured by the Closing Date. Seller agrees to remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise, any such lien (other than environmental liens) against the Property capable of removal by the payment of money or bonding. Seller shall not be obligated to (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) cure any other defect or to buyout or settle any other claim or lien against the Property. At Seller's option, the Closing Date may be extended for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days for purposes of eliminating such title defects. If such additional time is reasonably required by Seller to cure such title defects, Seller's failure to extend the Closing Date shall be commercially unreasonable. 9.3 If Seller does not eliminate such defects as of the Closing Date, as the same may be extended under the preceding sentence, or if any new "title defects" appear between the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date which Seller does not eliminate as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option to: 9.3.1 Close and accept the title "as is," without reduction in the Purchase Price and without claim against Seller for such title defects (except for any lien that Seller is required to cure pursuant to Section 9.2 that can be removed by the payment of money or bonding, for which credit shall be given Purchaser at the Closing unless Seller pays the same at the Closing) (and in such event, the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date); or 9.3.2 Cancel this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, shall return the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, to Purchaser, and both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive such termination, unless such title defects were caused by Seller's willful act or willful omission, in which event Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for damages caused by such title defects.

  • Environmental Defects If Buyer determines that with respect to the Asset there exists an Environmental Condition (other than with respect to asbestos, asbestos containing materials, or NORM, and excluding any matter set forth on Schedule 6.10) (in each case, an “Environmental Defect”), then on or prior to the Defect Claim Date, Buyer may give Seller a written notice of such Environmental Defect that sets forth the information required by this Section 3.17 (an “Environmental Defect Notice”). For all purposes of this Agreement and notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any Environmental Defect that Buyer fails to timely and properly assert as an Environmental Defect by an Environmental Defect Notice received by Seller on or before the Defect Claim Date. To be effective, an Environmental Defect Notice must set forth (a) a clear description of the matter constituting the alleged Environmental Defect, (b) a description of each Asset (or portion thereof) affected by the alleged Environmental Defect, (c) the estimated proportionate share attributable to the Assets of the estimated Lowest Cost Response to eliminate the alleged Environmental Defect (the “Environmental Defect Amount”), and (d) supporting documents and reasonably necessary for Seller to verify the existence of the alleged Environmental Defect and the Environmental Defect Amount. Buyer shall furnish Seller, on or before the end of each calendar week prior to the Defect Claim Date, Environmental Defect Notices with respect to any Environmental Defects that any of Buyer’s or any of its Affiliate’s employees, representatives, attorneys, or other environmental personnel or contractors discover or become aware of during the preceding calendar week, which notice may be preliminary in nature and supplemented prior to the Defect Claim Date; provided that notwithstanding this sentence, any Environmental Defect Notice shall be deemed timely if received by Seller prior to the Defect Claim Date.

  • Closing Adjustment (A) with the actual amount paid at the Closing for Paid Time Off. The ----- Sellers shall notify the Buyer in writing of any disputed items contained in the Assets Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by Seller and made part of the final determination of the adjustment, if any, to be made to the Purchase Price (the "Final Statement"). As soon as practical, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, the Sellers shall prepare and deliver to the Buyer an inventory determination (the "Inventory Determination") comparing the cost of the Inventory as of July 31, 1996, which is set forth in Schedule 2.3 hereto, with ------------ the actual cost (including the actual and reasonable freight and handling costs associated with acquiring and delivering the Inventory to the Sam's Club Locations) of the Inventory transferred on the Closing. The Sellers and the Buyer may each conduct their own physical count of the Inventory transferred on the Closing Date. The Buyer shall notify the Sellers in writing of any disputed items contained in the Inventory Determination within thirty (30) days from its delivery, and after such date all undisputed items shall be deemed accepted by the Buyer and made part of the Final Statement. In the event that the Sellers and the Buyer are unable to agree upon disputed items within thirty (30) days after the Buyer's notification thereof, then the amount of the disputed items shall be determined by the accounting firm of Price Waterhouse LLP, or such other firm selected by the Buyer within fifteen days after the end of such thirty day period. The disputed items shall be submitted to the selected accounting firm within thirty days after such accounting firm is selected. The determination by such accounting firm shall be conclusive and binding on all parties, shall be made within sixty days after such disputed items are so submitted and shall be made a part of the Final Statement. The Buyer shall pay all of the fees and expenses of the accounting firm settling any disputed items on the Final Statement.

  • Post-Closing Adjustment (a) Not more than twenty (20) days after the Closing Date, Purchasers shall deliver to Sellers a certificate of an authorized officer setting forth Purchasers’ calculation, as of the Closing Date, of the Net Working Capital (the “Proposed Closing Net Working Capital”). Such statement shall include separate line items, as of the Closing, for (i) cash and cash equivalents included in the Purchased Assets, (ii) the amount of outstanding accounts receivable included in the Purchased Assets, and (iii) the amount of Assumed Liabilities described in Section 2.7(a). (b) If within ten (10) days following delivery of the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital calculation Sellers have not given Purchasers written notice of their objection to the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital calculation (which notice shall state the basis of Sellers’ objection(s)), then the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital calculated by Purchasers (or any portion of the calculation to which Sellers do not object) shall constitute the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” shall be binding and conclusive on the Parties. (c) If Sellers give Purchasers timely notice of objection, and if Sellers and Purchasers fail to resolve the issues outstanding with respect to the Proposed Closing Net Working Capital within ten (10) days of Purchasers’ receipt of Sellers’ objection notice, Sellers and Purchasers shall submit the issues remaining in dispute to the Houston office of Deloitte LLP (the “Independent Accountants”) for resolution. If for any reason the Houston office of Deloitte LLP is unwilling to act as the Independent Accountants, the Independent Accounts shall be such other recognized national or regional independent accounting firm mutually acceptable to Purchasers and Sellers. (d) If issues are submitted to the Independent Accountants for resolution, (1) Seller and Purchasers shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Independent Accountants such work papers and other documents and information relating to the disputed issues as the Independent Accountants may request and are available to that Party or its agents and shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the Independent Accountants any material relating to the disputed issues and to discuss the issues with the Independent Accountants; and (2) the determination by the Independent Accountants, as set forth in a notice to be delivered to both Seller and Purchasers within twenty (20) days of the submission to the Independent Accountants of the issues remaining in dispute, shall constitute the “Final Closing Net Working Capital,” shall be final, binding and conclusive on the Parties and shall be used in computing the Adjustment Amount. The costs and fees related to such determination by the Independent Accountants, including the costs relating to any negotiations with the Independent Accountants with respect to the terms and conditions of such Independent Accountants’ engagement, will be shared equally by Purchasers and Sellers. (e) If the Final Closing Net Working Capital is greater than the Estimated Net Working Capital then within five (5) Business Days of such Final Closing Net Working Capital being provided to the Purchasers, the Purchasers shall issue to Sellers the number of shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) of Hercules Common Stock equal to the quotient of (A) such excess, divided by (B) 3.36, provided that, in no event shall Purchasers be required to issue more than an aggregate of 22,321,425 shares of Hercules Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and if Purchasers would otherwise be required, but for this proviso, to issue more shares, then such additional amount owed to Sellers shall be paid in cash in an amount equal to the number of shares exceeding 22,321,425 multiplied by $3.36. If the Estimated Net Working Capital is greater than the Final Closing Net Working Capital, then the Sellers shall return to Purchasers for cancellation the number of Hercules Shares (rounded to the nearest whole share) equal to the quotient of (A) such excess, divided by (B) 3.36.
