Upon the expiration of said five (5) business day period, except for Purchaser's Objections if same are timely raised, Purchaser shall be deemed to have accepted the form and substance of the Survey, all matters shown thereon, all exceptions to the Title Commitment and other items shown thereon. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as otherwise set forth in SECTION 4.1.3 of this Agreement, Seller shall have no obligations to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any effort or expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Purchaser's Objections. In the event Seller is unable or unwilling to eliminate or modify all of Purchaser's Objections to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser, Purchaser may (as its sole and exclusive remedy) terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earlier to occur of (i) the Closing Date or (ii) five (5) days after Seller's written notice to Purchaser of Seller's intent to not cure one or more of such Purchaser's Objections, in which event, the Xxxxxxx Money will be returned to Purchaser and neither party shall have any obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations. Notwithstanding anything contained in this SECTION 4.1.2 to the contrary, in the event Purchaser does not receive all items to be delivered to Purchaser under SECTION 4.1(A) and (B) in the time frame set forth therein, Purchaser's rights shall be to terminate this Agreement as set forth in SECTION 4.1, and such rights shall not be modified or extended by the terms of this SECTION 4.1.2.

• Title Commitment (a) Purchaser acknowledges receipt of that certain title insurance commitment dated April 9, 2002 issued by the Title Company under Commitment No. 673945-F (the "TITLE COMMITMENT"), together with copies of the title exceptions listed thereon. Purchaser shall have until the expiration of the Evaluation Period (the "ORIGINAL OBJECTION DATE") to send written notice to Seller of its objections to matters shown on the Title Commitment or the Existing Survey that Purchaser deems unacceptable and shall have until the date (the "NEW OBJECTION DATE") that is five (5) Business Days after receipt by Purchaser's counsel of any update to the Title Commitment or any Updated Survey (or as promptly as possible prior to the Closing with respect to updates received less than five (5) Business Days prior to the Closing) to send written notice to Seller of Purchaser's objections to any new exceptions to title to the Real Property raised thereby, provided that Purchaser may object to matters shown on an Updated Survey only if such matters were not shown on the Existing Survey. Purchaser's objections made in accordance with the preceding sentence are referred to herein as "TITLE OBJECTIONS" or "SURVEY OBJECTIONS," as applicable. Purchaser will be deemed to have accepted the exceptions to title set forth on the Title Commitment (as updated) and the matters shown on the Existing Survey and Updated Survey as permitted exceptions (together with any Title Objections and Survey Objections ultimately waived by Purchaser or cured by Seller, the "PERMITTED EXCEPTIONS") unless such matters are objected to by Purchaser in writing by the Original Objection Date or the New Objection Date, as applicable. Seller shall cause the Title Company to furnish to Purchaser a preliminary title report or title commitment, by the terms of which the Title Company agrees to issue to Purchaser at Closing an owner's policy of title insurance (the "TITLE POLICY") in the amount of the Purchase Price on the then standard TLTA owner's form insuring Purchaser's fee simple title to the Real Property, subject to the terms of such policy and the Permitted Exceptions including, without limitation, the standard or general exceptions. The basic premium for the Title Policy shall be at Seller's expense, and Purchaser may request additional coverage under the Title Policy or endorsements or deletions thereto (including, without limitation, the modification or deletion of the survey exception), which shall be, in each case, at Purchaser's expense.

On or prior to the Closing Date, Seller shall execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to the Title Company, at no cost to Seller, any customary affidavits, standard gap indemnities, evidence of corporate existence and authority, and similar documents reasonably requested by the Title Company in connection with the issuance of the Title Commitments or the Title Policies; provided that such efforts and Buyer's request for Title Policies or Title Commitments shall, in no event, result in any delay in the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent caused by or resulting from Seller's breach of this Agreement; and provided further, that nothing in this Section 6.17 shall obligate Seller to execute or deliver any document that affects, in a manner adverse to Seller, Seller's liability to Buyer as expressed herein and in the Special Warranty Deed.

• Title Insurance and Surveys At the Closing, Lawyer’s Title Insurance Company (the “Title Company”) shall have delivered to Buyer policies of title insurance, or an irrevocable commitment to issue such policies, in accordance with the following: (a) an owner’s title insurance policy with respect to the Owned Property (exclusive of the IDS Site), insuring that Buyer has good and marketable fee simple title in and to each parcel of Owned Property together with all rights, easements and privileges appurtenant thereto (exclusive of the IDS Site) and (b) a leasehold title insurance policy with respect to the Leased Property, insuring that Buyer has good and marketable leasehold title in and to each parcel of Leased Property together with all rights, easements and privileges appurtenant thereto, in each case free and clear of all Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances (collectively, the “Title Policies”). The Title Policies shall contain such endorsements and affirmative coverages as Buyer shall identify on Schedule 7.7 attached hereto and, with respect to title matters and surveys not provided to Buyer as of the date hereof, such additional endorsements and affirmative coverages as Buyer shall reasonably request in writing. Seller shall provide all such affidavits, indemnities (in respect of title), memoranda, assignments, documents and information, whether from Seller or other Persons, in such form as Seller shall reasonably approve and as the Title Company reasonably shall require in order to (i) issue the Title Policies with the coverage required herein, (ii) omit from the Title Policies standard title objections customarily omitted on the basis of title affidavits and documentation delivered by Seller (including, without limitation, exceptions as to parties in possession and liens for work performed at the property), and (iii) evidence Seller’s authority, and the authority of the Person or Persons executing the conveyance documents on behalf of Seller, to consummate the transactions with respect to the Facilities.

Each Survey shall comply with the minimum detail requirements for land title surveys as adopted by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping. Neither the Wichita Survey nor any other Survey shall disclose (x) Encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances, (y) material shortages in area or conflicts or discrepancies in boundary lines or (z) uninsurable encroachments of improvements, facilities or other structures across or over boundary lines, easement areas or rights-of-way.

• Title Insurance and Survey (a) Buyer shall notify Sellers in writing (the “Title Objection Notice”) by 5:00 p.m. (Central time) on the date that is four (4) Business Days prior to the date of expiration of the Due Diligence Period (the “Title Review Period”) as to which matters, if any, within the Title Commitments and which survey matters (including matters disclosed in any Survey or any update thereto) are not acceptable to Buyer (individually, a “Disapproved Title Matter”). Any matter within the Title Commitments, the Surveys, and any matter that would be disclosed by a current, accurate survey of any Real Property that Buyer fails to so disapprove in a Title Objection Notice delivered to Sellers prior to the Title Review Period shall be conclusively deemed to have been approved by Buyer. If Buyer timely delivers a Title Objection Notice indicating a Disapproved Title Matter, then Sellers shall have two (2) Business Days after receipt of such Title Objection Notice to elect to notify Buyer in writing (a “Title Response Notice”) that Sellers either (a) will remove such Disapproved Title Matter from title to the Real Property on or before the Closing, or (b) will not cause such Disapproved Title Matter to be removed from title to the Real Property. If Sellers fail to deliver a Title Response Notice as to a particular Disapproved Title Matter within such two (2) Business Days period, then Sellers shall be deemed to have made the election in clause (b) above as to such Disapproved Title Matter. The procurement by any Seller, at its option, of a written commitment from the Title Company to issue the Title Policy or an endorsement thereto reasonably satisfactory to Buyer as of the Closing (at such Seller’s sole cost and expense) and insuring Buyer against any Disapproved Title Matter (or any “Additional Title Matter” as defined below) shall be deemed a removal thereof from title to the Real Property. If Sellers make (or are deemed to have made) the election in clause (b) above as to any Disapproved Title Matter, then Buyer shall have two (2) Business Days from the earlier of (i) the date it receives the Title Response Notice making such election, or (ii) the date that Sellers are deemed to have made such election as to such Disapproved Title Matter (but not later than the expiration of the Due Diligence Period), within which to notify Sellers in writing that Buyer elects to either (x) nevertheless accept the condition of title to the Real Property subject to such Disapproved Title Matter, or (y) terminate this Agreement. If Buyer makes the election set forth in clause (y) above, then this Agreement shall immediately terminate, Buyer shall be entitled to a return of the Exxxxxx Money, and Sellers and Buyer shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder, except for the provisions hereof that expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Buyer fails to notify Sellers in writing of its election within said two (2) Business Days period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have made the election set forth in clause (x) above.
