Preliminary Title Report (a) Not later than four (4) business days after the date of this Agreement, Seller, with Buyer's assistance and cooperation as necessary, shall arrange for the Title Company to prepare and deliver to Buyer a preliminary title report (the "Title Report") covering the Real Property dated not earlier than the date of this Agreement, such report showing all matters of record and all items which would be shown as exceptions on a ALTA owner's policy of title insurance, together with a recent ALTA survey of the Real Property certified by a licensed land surveyor and a legible copy of each recorded document underlying any exceptions shown in the Title Report. Subject only to the following permitted exceptions (the "Permitted Exceptions"), Seller shall cause all exceptions to title to the Real Property set forth in such Title Report to be removed prior to the Closing: (1) the standard printed exceptions contained in the Title Company's form of Owner's Policy; (2) building restrictions and zoning regulations heretofore or hereafter adopted by any municipal or other public authority relating to the Property; (3) current property taxes not yet delinquent; (4) the exceptions approved by Buyer in accordance with Section 5.13(b); and (5) any exception to which Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, specifically and expressly consents in writing prior to the Closing. Buyer shall pay all fees and costs associated with obtaining the Title Report. (b) Buyer shall have until 5:00 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on the fifth (5th) calendar day following Buyer's receipt of the Title Report to disapprove, in Buyer's sole discretion, any matters set forth in the Title Report; provided, however, that Buyer may not disapprove of the exceptions described in items (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.13(a). If Buyer timely disapproves of any matters set forth in the Title Report, other than with respect to the exceptions described in items (1), (2) and (3) of Section 5.13(a), Seller shall have three (3) business days to indicate in writing whether Seller will cause such disapproved matters to be removed as exceptions to title prior to or concurrently with the Closing. Seller's failure to timely respond shall be deemed to constitute Seller's irrevocable agreement to remove all such disapproved matters as exceptions to title. If Seller timely indicates that it is unwilling to remove any such disapproved matters as exceptions to title, Buyer may elect to (i) proceed with the transaction contemplated hereby and take title subject to such disapproved matters, or (ii) terminate this Agreement. Buyer's failure to make such election within three (3) business days after being informed of Seller's decision shall be deemed an election of option (i). If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to this Section 5.13(b), the Deposit (and all interest accrued thereon) shall be returned to Buyer, and the parties shall have no further obligations to one another except for any obligations that, by their terms, survive the termination of this Agreement.
