Related to Independent Title Review

• Title Review (a) On or after the Effective Date, Purchaser may order (i) a title commitment (the “Title Commitment”) from Land Services USA, Inc., as agent for (x) First American Title Insurance Company, (y) such other nationally recognized title insurance company mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser or (z) an alternate title insurance company (or alternate office) selected by Seller pursuant to Section 2.2(c) (the “Title Company”), together with complete and legible copies of all instruments and documents referred to therein as exceptions to title, and (ii) a survey of the Property from a reputable surveyor or surveying firm reasonably acceptable to the Title Company (the “Survey”) reflecting the total area of the Property, the location of all improvements, recorded easements and encroachments, if any, located thereon and all building and set back lines and plottable matters of record with respect thereto. (b) Prior to the Expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall deliver written notice to Seller of any title matters, other than Permitted Exceptions, identified in the Title Commitment or shown on the Survey (or any supplements or updates thereto) which Purchaser finds objectionable (“Title Objections”). Seller shall have 5 Business Days from its receipt of such title objection notice from Purchaser to notify Purchaser whether Seller commits to cause such Title Objections to be removed from the land records or insured over (and with any such matters proposed to be insured over by the Title Company) at Closing, provided, however that Seller shall be obligated to remove or cause the removal from the land records of all Monetary Liens at or prior to Closing. Any matters set forth in the Title Commitment or Survey and not so objected to by Purchaser (other than Monetary Liens) shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. If, for any reason, Seller is unable or unwilling to take such actions as may be required to remedy or remove from the land records any Title Objections (other than Monetary Liens) objected to by Purchaser, Seller shall give Purchaser notice thereof, it being understood and agreed that the failure of Seller to give such notice within 5 Business Days after receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objection shall be deemed an election by Seller not to remedy any such matters. If Seller shall be unable or unwilling to remedy any Title Objections (other than Monetary Liens) as to which Purchaser has objected, Purchaser may elect either (i) to terminate this Agreement by notice given to Seller within 5 Business Days following Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s notice, whereupon the Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser and neither party shall have any further obligations to the other hereunder, except for those obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement or (ii) to proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, notwithstanding such matters and without any abatement or reduction in the Purchase Price on account thereof. If any matter arises that was not previously disclosed in the Title Commitment or on the Survey (as same may have been updated), is discovered by Purchaser or by the Title Company and is added to such Title Commitment by the Title Company at or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have five (5) Business Days (and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary) after Purchaser’s receipt of such updated Title Commitment showing the new title exception, together with a legible copy of any such new matter, to provide Seller with written notice of its objection to any such new title exception (each a “New Objection”, and collectively, the “New Objections”). If Seller does not elect to remove or cure New Objections prior to Closing (other than Monetary Liens, which Seller shall be obligated to cure), which such election shall be given by notice to Purchaser within 5 Business Days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice setting forth such New Objections, Purchaser may, by written notice to Seller, either (i) agree to accept title subject to the exceptions which Seller is unable to remove or cause to be removed (in which case such exceptions shall be considered Permitted Exceptions) or (ii) terminate this Agreement, and in the latter event the Deposit and accrued interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser, and thereafter, except for those obligations herein which are specifically stated to survive the termination of this Agreement, neither party shall have any further right, liability or obligation under this Agreement. (c) In connection with the issuance of an ALTA 15-06 endorsement to the Title Policy at Closing, in the event that the Title Company is unable or unwilling to issue an ALTA 15-06 endorsement to the Title Policy at Closing upon terms and conditions acceptable to Seller, Seller shall have a one-time right (but not the obligation) to elect that the Title Policy be issued by an alternate title insurance company (or an alternate office of the Title Company) selected by Seller from the list of title insurance companies set forth on Schedule 2.2(c) attached hereto. In the event Seller so elects, Seller shall deliver written notice to Purchaser stating Seller’s election, Purchaser shall engage the alternate title insurance company (or alternate office of the Title Company, as applicable) selected by Seller for the purpose of issuing the Title Policy and Seller shall be responsible for 50% of any additional search and exam fees resulting from Seller’s exercise of its rights set forth in this Section 2.2(c).
