Buyer shall be allowed to conduct the following due diligence prior to purchasing the REIT Units: (a) Buyer’s review of title to the Real Property as shown on the Company’s existing title policy (the “Title Policy”) issued by the corresponding title company (the “Title Company”) and an existing as-built survey showing the location of all improvements and recorded easements on the Real Property as of the date such survey was prepared (the “Survey”). The Title Policy and the Survey shall be delivered by Seller with the other Due Diligence Items (as hereinafter defined). Buyer has caused the Title Company to issue a commitment for an owner’s title insurance policy (the “Title Report”) and ordered an updated Survey (the Title Policy, Title Report and Survey being collectively referred to as the “Title Documents”). By its execution hereof, Buyer has approved the Title Documents for the Real Property. All items disclosed in the Title Documents are herein referred to as “Permitted Exceptions”. At any time prior to Closing, Buyer may update the Title Report. If such updated Title Report discloses any matter that was not disclosed in either the Title Policy or original Title Report, Buyer may deliver a written notice (“Buyer’s Title Notice”) specifying each such new title defect or matter for which Buyer is requesting a cure by Seller (“Title Defect”) and each Title Company requirement (“Title Requirement”) which Buyer is requesting Seller to satisfy in order for a title policy to be issued for the Real Property at Closing; provided, however, Buyer acknowledges that it may not object to any Permitted Exception. Within two (2) business days after receiving Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of those Title Defects which Seller covenants and agrees to either eliminate or cure to Buyer’s satisfaction by the Closing Date and those Title Requirements which Seller agrees to satisfy by the Closing Date; provided, however, Seller may cure at its own and sole discretion, but under no circumstances will have any obligation to cure any Title Defect or satisfy any Title Requirement set forth in Buyer’s Title Notice. Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice to Buyer within the time period specified above shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to eliminate or cure any such Title Defect or to satisfy any such Title Requirements. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to eliminate or cure any Title Defects or to not satisfy any Title Requirements excepting any Permitted Exceptions, Buyer shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Approval Date, to either (i) waive its prior notice as to the Title Defects which Seller has elected not to cure and those Title Requirements which Seller has elected not to satisfy, or (ii) terminate this Agreement as provided later in this section.
