statements affecting the Property and the right to enter upon and inspect the
Property. Seller agrees to make all such records available for review at the

fact. Seller shall have five (5) days from receipt of Buyer's Objections to
notify Buyer, with specificity, in writing, of matters listed in Buyer's
Objections that Seller will cure or cause to be eliminated from the title policy
or corrected in the Survey as of the Closing, if any ("Seller's Correction
Notice"). Seller shall not be required to take any action to address any of the
Buyer's Objections, provided, however, that the elimination or cure or
correction of any of Buyer's Objections that Seller agrees to address in
Seller's Correction Notice shall be a condition to Closing in favor of Buyer.
Buyer shall have two (2) days from receipt of Seller's Correction Notice to
deliver written notice to Seller ("Buyer's Title Notice") that (i) Buyer elects
to terminate Buyer's obligations to purchase the Real Property and pay the
Purchase Price under this Agreement or (ii) Buyer elects to accept title subject
to the disapproved exceptions, other than those that Seller has agreed to cure,
eliminate or correct in Seller's Correction Notice. Any supplemental title
reports issued by the Title Company shall be subject to the same process as set

returned to Buyer and neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further obligation
under this Agreement. Exceptions to title shown in the Preliminary Report which
have been approved by Buyer or deemed approved by Buyer as set forth above

correct) are hereinafter referred to as "Permitted Exceptions".

loan documents constituting the loan (the "Loan") evidenced by the Note and (ii)
Buyer and Seller shall make application to the lender under the Loan for Buyer

sole discretion, judgment and opinion, Buyer shall disapprove or be dissatisfied
with the Loan or the loan documents or any conditions, change in terms,
documents, or other matters required by the Lender in order for Buyer to assume
the Loan, then Buyer shall be entitled to terminate Buyer's obligations to

giving written notice thereof to Seller. In the event Buyer shall so elect to
terminate Buyer's obligations to purchase the Real Property and pay the Purchase
Price under this Agreement, or if the lender shall not approve the assumption of
