Title and Survey Seller shall, at Seller's sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Purchaser for Purchaser's review a commitment for a standard owner's policy of title insurance along with a copy of each instrument listed as an exception thereon other than Seller's debt instruments (the "Title Commitment") on the Real Property issued by the Title Company. Seller has delivered to Purchaser a copy of the Existing Survey which Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for as provided in Section 4 hereof. During the Due Diligence Period, Seller shall obtain from the Title Company at Seller's sole cost and expense a survey endorsement and, if and to the extent available, contiguity, fairway and PUD endorsements. Purchaser may elect to receive an update to the Existing Survey (the "Updated Survey") by notifying Seller of such election in writing prior to November 6, 1997. If Purchaser so elects, Seller shall, at Purchaser's sole cost and expense, obtain and deliver to Purchaser for Purchaser's review the Updated Survey. Purchaser shall have until the later of November 6, 1997 and the date which is fifteen days after receipt of the Title Commitment and Existing Survey (such date being referred to as the "Title Review Date") for examination of Title Commitment and Existing Survey and the making of any objections thereto, said objections to be made in writing and delivered to Seller on or before the end of the Title Review Date. If Purchaser shall fail to make any objections on or before the Title Review Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted all exceptions to the Title Commitment shown on Schedule B, Section II, except for exceptions 1, 2, 3 and 4, and the form and substance of the Existing Survey and all matters shown thereon; all such exceptions and matters shall be included in the term "Permitted Exceptions" as used herein. In the event Purchaser elects to receive the Updated Survey, then Purchaser shall have until the Title Review Date for examination of the Updated Survey and the making of objections to matters shown thereon, such objections to be made in writing and delivered to Seller on or before the expiration of the Title Review Date. If Purchaser shall fail to make any such objections to the Updated Survey on or before such date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of the Updated Survey and all matters shown thereon; all such exceptions and matters shall be included as Permitted Exceptions. If any objections to (i) the Title Commitment or Existing Survey or exceptions to title are made within the Title Review Period, or (ii) the Updated Survey are made before the date specified above, then Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation except as hereafter provided, to cure (by removal, endorsement or otherwise) such objections on or before the Closing Date in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser. If the objections are not cured by Seller no later than five (5) days before the scheduled Closing Date, then Purchaser may as its only option, elect to either: (i) waive such objection and consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement; or (ii) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other party except for the Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Seller shall be obligated to remove (or cause the Title Company to affirmatively insure over in a manner reasonably acceptable to Purchaser) (i) any deeds of trust, mortgages, and related loan documents securing any financing obtained by Seller, including, without limitation, the existing loan with Continental Bank, N.A. (the "Existing Loan"), (ii) any mechanic's or materialmen's liens relating to work done by or on behalf of Seller and (iii) any tax or judgment liens against Seller. Seller agrees to use best efforts to satisfy all of the requirements set forth in Schedule B - Section 1 of the Commitment at or prior to the Closing Date.
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 Xxxxxxx 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.

Requests for temporary classifications must be submitted to the Human Resources office for approval. Assignments must be for a minimum of ten (10) days with pay retroactive to the first day upon reaching the tenth (10th) day in the temporary assignment.
Defense of Title Warrant and defend title to and ownership of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor at its own expense against the claims and demands of all other parties claiming an interest therein, keep the Pledged Collateral free from all Liens, except for Permitted Liens, and not sell, exchange, transfer, assign, lease or otherwise dispose of Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or any interest therein, except as permitted under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Notice of Title Defects (a) If Buyer discovers any Title Defect affecting any Asset, Buyer shall notify Seller as promptly as possible, but no later than the expiration of the Examination Period of such alleged Title Defect. To be effective, such notice must (i) be in writing, (ii) be received by Seller by 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the expiration date of the Examination Period and (iii) describe the Title Defect in reasonable detail, to the extent then reasonably known by Buyer (including the estimated value of such Title Defect as determined by Buyer). Any matters that may otherwise constitute Title Defects, but of which Seller has not been notified by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) Upon the receipt of such effective notice from Buyer, Seller, at Seller’s option, shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a), attempt to cure such Title Defect at any time prior to the Closing or (ii) exclude the affected Asset from the sale and reduce the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value of such affected Asset as set forth on Exhibit C.
(c) The value attributable to each Title Defect (the “Title Defect Value”) that is asserted by Buyer in the Title Defect notices shall be determined based upon the criteria set forth below:
(i) If the Title Defect is a lien upon any Asset, the Title Defect Value is the amount reasonably expected to be necessary to be paid to remove the lien from the affected Asset.
(ii) If the Title Defect asserted is that the Net Revenue Interest attributable to any Well or unit or Well location is less than that stated in Exhibit C or the Working Interest attributable to any Well or unit or Well location is greater than that stated in Exhibit C, then the Title Defect Value shall take into account the relative change in the interest from Exhibit C and the appropriate Allocated Value attributed to such Asset.
(iii) If the Title Defect represents an obligation, encumbrance, burden or charge upon the affected Asset (including any increase in Working Interest for which there is not a proportionate increase in Net Revenue Interest) for which the economic detriment to Buyer is unliquidated, the amount of the Title Defect Value shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the affected Asset, the portion of the Asset affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect, the potential discounted economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of the affected Asset.
(iv) If a Title Defect is not in effect or does not adversely affect an Asset throughout the entire productive life of such Asset, such fact shall be taken into account in determining the Title Defect Value.
(v) The Title Defect Value shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Value hereunder.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Title Defect Value exceed the Allocated Value of the Wxxxx, units or other Assets affected thereby.
(vii) Such other factors as are reasonably necessary to make a proper evaluation.
