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.
Independent Review Each of the parties hereto has reviewed this Release with its own counsel and advisors.
Title Review During the Title and Survey Review Period, Purchaser shall review title to the Property as disclosed by the Title Commitments and the Surveys. Seller shall have no obligation to cure title objections except liens of an ascertainable amount created by, under or through Seller, or assumed by Seller, which liens Seller shall cause to be released at or prior to Closing (with Seller having the right to apply the Purchase Price or a portion thereof for such purpose), and Seller shall deliver the Property free and clear of any such liens; provided, however, that the foregoing requirement to discharge liens shall not apply to liens on any tenant’s leasehold estate. Seller further agrees to remove any exceptions or encumbrances to title which are voluntarily created by, under or through Seller after the Effective Date without Purchaser’s consent (if requested, such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). The term “Permitted Exceptions” shall mean: (A) the exceptions (i) that are part of the promulgated title insurance form for each Title Commitment, (ii) that the Title Company is unable to remove under applicable insurance regulations, (iii) that the Title Company has not agreed to remove from the Title Commitments notwithstanding that Seller has delivered the Title Affidavits to the Title Company, (iv) that Purchaser consents to, or is deemed to have consented to, as of the end of the Title and Survey Review Period and (v) that Seller is not required to remove as provided above; (B) matters created by, through or under Purchaser; (C) items shown on the Surveys which have not been removed as of the end of the Inspection Period (or if Purchaser does not obtain new Surveys, all matters that current, accurate surveys of the Property would show); (D) real estate taxes not yet due and payable; (E) rights of tenants under the Leases; and (F) any encumbrances relating to the Property created by, though or under any tenant of the Property that does not render title to such Property unmarketable, provided such tenant is not otherwise in default under its Lease.
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.
