Title to Real Property (a) Purchaser agrees to notify Seller in writing (a "TITLE DEFECT NOTICE") no later than sixty (60) days after the date hereof of any mortgages, pledges, liens, encumbrances, reservations, encroachments, overlaps or other title defects related to any Real Property as to which Purchaser objects (the "TITLE DEFECTS"), provided that the Title Defects and the Title Defect Notice shall not include or refer to any Permitted Encumbrances. If Seller shall timely receive any Title Defect Notice with respect to any Real Property, then Seller shall, at its option and in its sole discretion, elect to take one of the following actions with respect to each Title Defect referenced in such Title Defect Notice: (1) cure or eliminate such Title Defect prior to the Closing, in which event the Closing shall proceed with respect to the Real Property subject to such Title Defect without any reduction in the applicable Property Price; (2) accept a reduction in the Property Price applicable to the Real Property subject to such Title Defect equal to any applicable Defect Reduction Amount to reflect the greater of the diminution in value (if any) resulting from such Title Defect or the cost of curing such Title Defect, if applicable, as determined pursuant to Section 2.8; or (3) lease to Purchaser the Real Property subject to such Title Defect in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.4(c); provided, however, that if Seller chooses to rely upon clause (3) and any such Title Defect interferes in any material respect with the use of the applicable Real Property operated in the manner in which it is currently operated, then Purchaser shall not be obligated to lease the Real Property subject to such Title Defect and Purchaser shall have the option to elect either (i) to cause Seller to elect clause (1) with respect to such Real Property or (ii) to not acquire such Real Property and not pay the Property Price applicable to such Real Property. For purposes of this Section 2.4, a Title Defect shall be deemed to have been "cured" or "eliminated" if title insurance coverage or a bond reasonably acceptable to Purchaser shall have been obtained against such Title Defect.
(b) Purchaser shall have the right to obtain an updated title search or survey not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated Closing Date to determine whether any title changes may have arisen between the effective date of the applicable title commitment and such update (an "UPDATED TITLE REPORT"). If such Updated Title Report indicates that any Title Defects have been placed of record in respect of any Real Property since the effective date of the applicable title commitment, then Purchaser shall have the right to provide Seller a Title Defect Notice in respect thereof not more than five (5) Business Days following Purchaser's receipt of such Updated Title Report, and thereafter Seller shall have the right to address such Title Defect Notice in the same manner as is set forth in Section 2.4(a) with respect to Title Defect Notices received by Seller within sixty (60) days after the date hereof (by electing to cure the Title Defect in question, accept a reduction in the applicable Property Price or lease the Real Property in question, all as more particularly set forth in Section 2.4(a)).
(c) If pursuant to Section 2.4(a), Section 2.4(b) or Section 2.5(c), Seller leases to Purchaser any Real Property that is subject to a Title Defect or a Material Adverse Environmental Condition (as the case may be, a "DEFECT"), then Seller shall lease such Real Property to Purchaser, on a triple net basis, at existing market rents for a term of three (3) years commencing at the Closing pursuant to a lease substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 2.4(c). The parties agree that, if they cannot agree upon the "existing market rent" to be payable for any such Real Property under any such lease, then such "existing market rent" shall be determined by an appraisal to be conducted by an appraiser selected in the manner set forth in Section 2.8 below, with the cost of such appraisal to be shared equally by Purchaser and Seller. The "existing market rent" applicable to any such lease shall be the rent that a willing tenant would pay to lease the Real Property in question on the terms set forth above for use as a bank branch. If any Real Property is leased to Purchaser pursuant to this provision, the Purchase Price shall be reduced by the amount of the Property Price attributable to such Real Property, but if Seller cures or eliminates the Defect related thereto to Purchaser's reasonable satisfaction at any time during the term of such lease, then Purchaser shall promptly thereafter purchase such Real Property according to the applicable provisions hereof and pay Seller the Property Price for such Real Property (without interest thereon and less any lease payments made by Purchaser to Seller with respect to such Real Property) at the time of transfer of title thereto to Purchaser.
