Related to Buyers Title Contingency

• TITLE CONDITIONS The following special conditions imposed by Combined Developers (Pty) Ltd in its favour and the favour of the HOA, will be registered against the title deed of the Property, namely:

• Title Report If no Additional Mortgage Policy is required with respect to such Additional Mortgaged Property, a title report issued by the Title Company with respect thereto, dated not more than 30 days prior to the date such Additional Mortgage is to be recorded and satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent;

• Title Company Escrow Holder shall cause the Title Company to issue the Buyer’s Title Policy to Buyer.

• Due Diligence Examination At any time during the Review Period, and thereafter through Closing of the Property, Buyer and/or its representatives and agents shall have the right to enter upon the Property at all reasonable times for the purposes of reviewing all Records and other data, documents and/or information relating to the Property and conducting such surveys, appraisals, engineering tests, soil tests (including, without limitation, Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments), inspections of construction and other inspections and other studies as Buyer deems reasonable and necessary or appropriate to evaluate the Property, subject to providing reasonable advance notice to Seller unless otherwise agreed to by Buyer and Seller (the “Due Diligence Examination”). Seller shall have the right to have its representative present during Buyer’s physical inspections of its Property, provided that failure of Seller to do so shall not prevent Buyer from exercising its due diligence, review and inspection rights hereunder. Buyer agrees to exercise reasonable care when visiting the Property, in a manner which shall not materially adversely affect the operation of the Property.

• 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.

• 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 Insurance and Surveys Due to the critical timeline requirements to close the transaction, PHI may order title searches on all PH Owned Real Property and PH Leased Real Property to be transferred to NPC pursuant to this Agreement. These title searches will be performed by a national title company approved by PHI. If PHI has established relations with such company, NPC will be entitled to the benefit of PHI’s preferred rates. If permissible under applicable law and the terms of any agreement with such company, the fees paid for the searches may be applied toward the title policy costs for title policies desired by NPC based upon these title searches In the event NPC or NPC’s lender requires environmental reports relating to the PH Owned Real Property, NPC shall first obtain PHI’s prior written consent and shall execute the Access and Confidentiality Agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “E”, and shall retain a nationally recognized firm approved by PHI to perform such work. PH will not consent to any invasive environmental audit or review and the results of any permitted environmental audit or review will not affect NPC’s obligations hereunder. To the extent that NPC or NPC’s lender requires surveys of the Owned Real Property, NPC shall retain a nationally recognized firm approved by PHI to perform such work. The consultants referenced in this Section 1.7 will be retained solely by NPC, but PH shall have the right to obtain copies of any documents or reports that they prepare. As provided for in Sections 5 and 10.9, NPC shall reimburse PH at Closing (or at such other time as contemplated by those provisions) for all actual or estimated costs incurred by PH in obtaining title insurance, surveys and/or environmental reports on behalf of NPC. Notwithstanding the foregoing however, NPC will not be responsible for the payment or reimbursement of any costs relating to title insurance, surveys and/or environmental reports on any of the subject real estate unless such service is specifically requested by NPC, and request is given forty-five (45) days prior to the Closing.

• Title Objections On or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, herein defined, Purchaser, at Purchaser's expense, may obtain a title commitment issued by Escrow Agent, which shall provide a commitment to insure title to the Real Property on the full-coverage, standard, revised ALTA Owner's Policy of title insurance, Form B (the "Title Commitment") in the amount of the Purchase Price subject, however, to the Permitted Exceptions (to which Purchaser does not object), but without exception as to mechanics or similar liens, free and clear of any and all other mortgages, liens, judgments, leases, encumbrances, parties in possession, licenses, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, encroachments and any other matters of any nature affecting the title except as permitted in this Agreement. Within ten (10) days of receipt by Purchaser of the Title Commitment and the Survey, Purchaser shall advise Seller in writing of any objections to the Title Commitment (including any of the Permitted Exceptions) and the Survey and, if no objections are so submitted by Purchaser within the applicable time period, it shall be deemed that the Title Commitment and the Survey are satisfactory, and Purchaser has no objections thereto. If Purchaser does advise Seller in writing of any objections, Seller shall have ten (10) days after the receipt of such statement of objections in which to notify Purchaser as to whether it will cure or remove such objections, Seller having no obligation to do so. If Seller notifies Purchaser that it will not cure or remove such objections, or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure such objections, then within ten (10) days after the receipt by Purchaser of such notice from Seller, or upon expiration of such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and no party hereto shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder or (ii) waive such objections to Seller's title. Failure by Purchaser to elect either alternative within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an election to waive such objections. If Seller sends no notice to Purchaser within said ten (10) days, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such title objections.

• Title Reports With respect to each Closing Date Mortgaged Property listed in Part B of Schedule 4.1N annexed hereto, a title report issued by the Title Company with respect thereto, dated not more than 30 days prior to the Closing Date and satisfactory in form and substance to Administrative Agent;

• Title Examination Within thirty (30) days after Purchaser’s exercise of the Option, Purchaser shall have the right to obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, a current survey of the Property (the “Updated Survey”) and an ALTA Title Commitment for the Property from a title company acceptable to Purchaser (the “Title Company”), setting forth the status of title to the Property, and showing all liens, claims, encumbrances, reservations, restrictions and other matters, if any, relating to the Property (the “Title Commitment”), including legible copies of all encumbrances, restrictive covenants and other documents evidencing exceptions to said Title Commitment (the “Exception Documents”). If the Title Commitment and/or Updated Survey reveals any exception(s) to title to which Purchaser objects (a “Title Objection”) and is(are) not either (i) listed as title exceptions in the title insurance policy and/or survey obtained by Seller in connection with the closing of the Mezzanine Loan and/or (ii) permitted by this Agreement (collectively, the “Permitted Encumbrances”), Purchaser may notify Seller in writing that it would like Seller to cure or remove such Title Objections. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as set forth below), to remedy or cure any such Title Objection(s) during the twenty (20) day period following Seller’s receipt thereof (the “Cure Period”). Purchaser shall have the continuing right to have such title examination and Title Commitments updated from time to time, and to obtain updates to the Survey, and to give Seller written notice of any Title Objections appearing of record, or otherwise created, after the effective date of the initial Title Commitment and being revealed by any title examination, Survey or investigation of the Property, and Purchaser shall be entitled to object (in the same manner as set forth hereinabove) to matters shown by the updated Title Commitments or updated Survey or investigations. Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation (except as set forth below), to remedy those Title Objections identified by Purchaser to the satisfaction of Purchaser within twenty (20) days after Purchaser’s notice. If any of the Title Objections are not so cured or remedied, or provision satisfactory to Purchaser made therefor, prior to any closing date selected by Purchaser, then Purchaser, at its election, shall have the right and option to either: (a) accept title to the Property subject to said uncured Title Objections that Purchaser elects to accept, and any Title Objection accepted by Purchaser in writing shall become part of the Permitted Encumbrances; or (b) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event, immediately upon receipt of said notice, this Agreement shall terminate, be null and void and of no further force or effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, shall be obligated to cure or remove at or before Closing all mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, judgments liens, mechanics and materialman’s liens, and other monetary liens against the Property, whether or not Purchaser objects thereto, and Purchaser shall credit the cost to cure, satisfy, release and remove such matters against the Purchase Price provided the same is actually paid by Purchaser or Title Company on Seller’s behalf. In addition, Seller shall not allow any easements, liens, leases, licenses, permits or other encumbrances to be placed on or granted with respect to the Property, nor shall Seller convey any rights in the Property, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, except to the extent expressly permitted, or consented to in writing by Purchaser under the Mezzanine Loan Documents. If any such prohibited easements, liens, leases, licenses, permits or other encumbrances arise after the Effective Date, notwithstanding any other term or provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, cure, satisfy, release and remove such matters prior to Closing; provided, however, that any easements or encumbrances that are taken by eminent domain shall be governed by the terms of Section 5 immediately below.
