Investigation by Buyer Buyer has conducted its own independent review and analysis of the business, operations, technology, assets, liabilities, results of operations, financial condition and prospects of the Companies and acknowledges that Sellers have provided Buyer with the access requested by Buyer to the personnel, properties, premises and records of the Companies for this purpose. In entering into this Agreement, Buyer has relied upon its own investigation and analysis as well as the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and Buyer (a) acknowledges that none of Sellers, the Companies or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, and (b) agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that neither Sellers, the Companies nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives on any basis (including, without limitation, in contract or tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made, to Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives (or any omissions therefrom), except in the case of clauses (a) and (b) as and only to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement with respect to the representations and warranties of Sellers in Article III and subject to the limitations and restrictions contained in this Agreement.
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 Xxxxxxx 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.
Investigation by Purchaser Seller will (a) provide Purchaser and its officers, employees, counsel, accountants, financial advisors, potential lenders, Purchaser's and potential lenders' consultants and other representatives (collectively, "Representatives") with full access, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to the Employees and such other officers, employees and agents of Seller who have any responsibility for the PSE Colstrip Interests, to Seller's accountants and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Colstrip Contracts, to the Assets (including, to the extent it is within Seller's power to do so, access to the Colstrip 1, 2, 3 and 4 site), but only to the extent that such access does not unreasonably interfere with Seller's business and the operation of the Assets, (b) make available to Purchaser and its Representatives, upon request, a copy of each report, schedule or other document filed or received by Seller between the Bid Date and the Closing with or from the SEC, FERC, EPA, WUTC or any other relevant Governmental or Regulatory Authority and relating to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all such information and data (including copies of Business Contracts, Transferable Permits, Fuel Contracts, Colstrip Contracts, and other Books and Records) concerning the ownership, operation and maintenance of the PSE Colstrip Interests and the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as Purchaser or its Representatives reasonably may request in connection with such investigation, except to the extent that furnishing any such report, schedule, other documents, information or data would violate any Law, Order (including any protective order or similar confidentiality obligation), Contract, License or Environmental Permit applicable to Seller or by which any of its Assets and Properties is bound. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser's efforts to obtain Purchaser Financing, as defined in Section 5.07. Seller's cooperation shall include the negotiation and execution of a consent with the lenders with respect to the Operative Agreements, which consent shall include providing such lenders with rights to cure a Purchaser default under the Operative Agreements; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated, in connection with such cooperation or consent, to take any action or enter into any agreement that would have any adverse effect on Seller or any of its rights or benefits under this Agreement or the Operative Agreements.
Acquisition by Seller The Asset was acquired by Seller in March 2021.
Survey or Title Objections If Buyer discovers any title or survey matter which is objectionable to Buyer, Buyer may provide Seller with written notice of its objection to same. Any contrary provisions of Article XV concerning what does or does not constitute delivery notwithstanding, Buyer shall provide and Seller must actually receive, any notice of objections on or before the fifth (5th) day prior to the expiration of the Review Period (the “Title Review Period”). If Seller has not actually received a written notice of objection to any such matter set forth in the Survey or Title Commitment prior to the expiration of the Title Review Period, it shall be conclusively assumed that Buyer has approved same. If Buyer disapproves any condition of title, survey or other matters by written objection to Seller on or before the expiration of the Title Review Period, Seller shall elect either to attempt to cure or not cure any such item and shall notify Buyer of its election by written notice within five (5) days after its receipt of notice from Buyer setting forth title or survey objection. If Seller commits in writing to attempt to cure any such item, then Seller shall be given until the Closing Date to cure any such defect. In the event Seller shall fail to cure a defect which Seller has committed in writing to cure prior to Closing, or if a new title defect arises after the date of Buyer’s Title Commitment or Survey, as applicable, but prior to Closing, then Buyer may elect, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion: (i) to waive such objection and proceed to Closing, or (ii) to terminate this Contract and receive a return of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. The items shown on the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Buyer as set forth above (other than exceptions and title defects arising after the Title Review Period and other than those standard exceptions which are ordinarily and customarily omitted in the state in which the applicable Hotel is located, so long as Seller provides the appropriate owner’s affidavit, gap indemnity or other documentation reasonably required by the Title Company for such omission) are hereinafter referred to as the “Permitted Exceptions.” In no event shall Permitted Exceptions include liens, or documents evidencing liens, securing any indebtedness (including vehicle or FF&E leases or financing arrangements) any mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens or any claims or potential claims therefor covering the Property or any portion thereof (“Seller Liens”), each of which shall be paid in full by Seller and released at Closing, except to the extent caused by Buyer. If a vehicle or FF&E lease or other financing cannot be released at Closing, Seller shall credit Buyer at Closing with the amount necessary to fully pay off such lease or financing over its term.
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.
Title Defects If on the Closing Date the Sellers shall be unable to cause title to the Property to be free and clear of all exceptions to title other than Permitted Encumbrances, then the Sellers shall be entitled, but shall not be obligated, to adjourn the Closing for one or more periods not to exceed ninety (90) days in the aggregate for the purpose of causing title to be placed in the condition called for by this Agreement. If on the Closing Date, as the same may be adjourned as above provided, title to the Property is not free and clear of all exceptions to title other than Permitted Encumbrances, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice to the Sellers delivered on or prior to the Closing Date, as the same may have been extended, in which event this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force or effect, and neither party shall have any obligations of any nature to the other hereunder or by reason hereof, except as to those obligations hereunder that are specifically stated to survive such termination, and the Deposit shall be distributed by Escrow Agent in accordance with Section 3.2.2 (and the Sellers shall join with Purchaser in executing a written instruction to Escrow Agent to do so); provided, however, that in the event that title to the Property is not free and clear of all exceptions to title other than Permitted Encumbrances due to a breach of the proviso clause of the next sentence, Purchaser shall have the rights set forth in Section 16.2. Neither the Sellers nor Owner shall be under any obligation to take any steps or to institute or prosecute any action or proceedings, or expend any sums of money, to remove from title to the Property any defect, encumbrance or objection to title; provided, however, that the Sellers shall be responsible for discharging (and at or prior to the Closing shall discharge) any liens, encumbrances or other title defects which do not constitute Permitted Encumbrances, which can be discharged solely by the payment of a sum of money and which arise solely on account of actions or failures to act by Owner or VCR. The Sellers may use any part of the Purchase Price to discharge the same, provided that the Sellers shall deliver to Purchaser at the Closing instruments in recordable form sufficient to discharge such liens and encumbrances of record. Except for the Sellers' failure to discharge such monetary liens or encumbrances as aforesaid, the Sellers shall not be deemed in default of this Agreement, and Purchaser shall not be entitled to damages of any kind, if the Sellers shall fail or be unable to cause title to the Property to be in the condition called for by this Agreement, nor shall Purchaser, in such circumstances, be entitled to specific performance of this Agreement (unless the same is due to a default by the Sellers under this Agreement). In no event shall the Sellers or Owner be obligated to discharge any mechanic's or similar lien created by a Tenant in occupancy at the Closing whose Lease is in full force and effect, but the Sellers shall cause Owner (or VCR, as applicable) to use reasonable efforts to cause such Tenant to do so. For purposes of this Section 14.2, the Sellers shall be deemed to have cured or removed any title exception if the Title Company or any other reputable title insurance company shall be prepared to issue to Owner an owner's policy of title insurance for the Property (at standard rates or with the Sellers paying any additional premium in connection with such exception) dated as of the Closing Date insuring over such exception, or providing affirmative coverage or an endorsement with respect thereto that is reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser.
Remedies for Title Defects Subject to Seller’s continuing right to dispute the existence of a Title Defect and/or the Title Defect Amount asserted with respect thereto and subject to the rights of the parties pursuant to Section 14.1(f), in the event that any Title Defect timely asserted by Buyer in accordance with Section 11.2(a) is not waived in writing by Buyer or cured on or before Closing, Seller shall, at its sole option, elect to:
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 Within fifteen (15) Business Days following the Effective Date, Sellers shall cause Escrow Agent (in its capacity as title company issuing the title policy described below, (“Title Company”)) to furnish to Buyer and Sellers title commitments (the “Title Commitments”) with respect to the Property together with copies of all instruments listed as exceptions to title. Within ten (10) Business Days following Buyer’s receipt of the Title Commitments, Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause a duly licensed Oklahoma surveyor to furnish to Buyer and Sxxxxxx XXXX/NSPS land title surveys of the Real Property (the “Surveys”). Buyer will have until the expiration of the Inspection Period to give written notice to Sellers specifying Buyer’s objections to the Title Commitment, title exceptions listed therein, and the Surveys (collectively, “Title Objections”), if any. If Buyer timely notifies Sellers in writing of the Title Objections, Sellers shall have five (5) business days after receipt of such notice (the “Title Cure Period”) to elect (but shall have no obligation whatsoever) to cure any Title Objection, and if so elected, shall either (a) satisfy the Title Objections at Sellers’ sole cost and expense and cause the Title Company to revise the Title Commitment to reflect such satisfaction, or (b) provide Buyer and the Title Company with satisfactory evidence that Sellers can and will cure such Title Objections prior to or at Closing; provided, however, Sellers shall be obligated to remove, pay and/or satisfy prior to or at Closing any monetary liens against the Property created or incurred by or through Sellers (each, a “Monetary Lien”). Failure by Sellers to timely respond in writing to any Title Objections shall be deemed Sellers’ decision not to cure any Title Objections. If Sellers elect not to satisfy any of the Title Objections within the Title Cure Period, Buyer shall have the option, exercisable within five (5) days after the expiration of the Title Cure Period, to either (i) waive the unsatisfied Title Objections, in which event the unsatisfied Title Objections will become Permitted Exceptions (hereinafter defined), or (ii) terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall automatically be refunded and returned forthwith to Buyer and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. If Buyer fails to notify Sellers in writing within five (5) days after the expiration of the Title Cure Period that Buyer has elected to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 3.4, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived all unsatisfied Title Objections. If, after the expiration of the Inspection Period, Title Company amends or adds any exception to the Title Commitments other than at the request of Buyer (including any liens against the Property for a liquidated amount that Sellers are not obligated hereunder to satisfy at Closing), the Title Company will notify Buyer and Sellers immediately. Within two (2) business days after Buyer receives notice from Title Company (and the Closing Date shall be extended if needed so that the Closing shall not occur prior to the end of such two (2) Business Day period), together with a copy of such intervening lien or matter, Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing of any objections thereto (a “Supplemental Title Objection”). If Buyer fails to notify Sellers of such Supplemental Title Objection within such two (2) Business Day period, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any objection and approved all such exceptions. If the Supplemental Title Objection is material and adverse to the Property, is not caused by Buyer and Sellers do not agree to remove such matter (other than any Monetary Lien), then Buyer may within two (2) business days after the Supplemental Title Objection, terminate this Agreement in which event the Deposit shall automatically be refunded and returned forthwith to Buyer and, except as expressly set forth herein, neither party shall have any further liability or obligation to the other hereunder. If Sellers have not received written notice from Buyer that Buyer has elected to terminate this Agreement within such two (2) Business Day period of time, then Buyer shall be deemed to have waived any unsatisfied Supplemental Title Objection. “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean any title or survey item, other than Monetary Liens: (i) not raised as Title Objections by Buyer, or (ii) raised as Title Objections by Buyer but thereafter waived or deemed waived.
