Notice of Defects If, based on Consulting Engineer/Architect's involvement during the construction phase, Consulting Engineer/Architect observes or otherwise becomes aware of any defect in the work, he shall give prompt written notice to City of such defects and their approximate location on the Project. However, Consulting Engineer/Architect shall not have control over or charge of and shall not be responsible for construction means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures, or for safety precautions, inspections and programs in connection with the work, since these are solely the contractor's responsibility under the contract for construction. Consulting Engineer/Architect shall not be responsible for the contractor's schedules or failure to carry out the work in accordance with the Contract Documents. Consulting Engineer/Architect shall not have control over or charge of acts or omissions of the contractor, contractor's subcontractors, or their agents or employees.
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.
Title Objections On or before the expiration of the Inspection Period, herein defined, Purchaser, at Purchaser's expense, may obtain a title commitment issued by Escrow Agent, which shall provide a commitment to insure title to the Real Property on the full-coverage, standard, revised ALTA Owner's Policy of title insurance, Form B (the "Title Commitment") in the amount of the Purchase Price subject, however, to the Permitted Exceptions (to which Purchaser does not object), but without exception as to mechanics or similar liens, free and clear of any and all other mortgages, liens, judgments, leases, encumbrances, parties in possession, licenses, covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements, encroachments and any other matters of any nature affecting the title except as permitted in this Agreement. Within ten (10) days of receipt by Purchaser of the Title Commitment and the Survey, Purchaser shall advise Seller in writing of any objections to the Title Commitment (including any of the Permitted Exceptions) and the Survey and, if no objections are so submitted by Purchaser within the applicable time period, it shall be deemed that the Title Commitment and the Survey are satisfactory, and Purchaser has no objections thereto. If Purchaser does advise Seller in writing of any objections, Seller shall have ten (10) days after the receipt of such statement of objections in which to notify Purchaser as to whether it will cure or remove such objections, Seller having no obligation to do so. If Seller notifies Purchaser that it will not cure or remove such objections, or if Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure such objections, then within ten (10) days after the receipt by Purchaser of such notice from Seller, or upon expiration of such ten (10) day period, Purchaser shall elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Purchaser, and no party hereto shall have any further rights, liabilities or obligations hereunder or (ii) waive such objections to Seller's title. Failure by Purchaser to elect either alternative within such ten (10) day period shall be deemed an election to waive such objections. If Seller sends no notice to Purchaser within said ten (10) days, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure any such title objections.
Notice of Title Defects (a) If Buyer discovers any Title Defect affecting any Asset, Buyer shall notify Seller as promptly as possible, but no later than the expiration of the Examination Period of such alleged Title Defect. To be effective, such notice must (i) be in writing, (ii) be received by Seller by 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time on the expiration date of the Examination Period and (iii) describe the Title Defect in reasonable detail, to the extent then reasonably known by Buyer (including the estimated value of such Title Defect as determined by Buyer). Any matters that may otherwise constitute Title Defects, but of which Seller has not been notified by Buyer in accordance with the foregoing, shall be deemed to have been waived by Buyer for all purposes and shall constitute Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) Upon the receipt of such effective notice from Buyer, Seller, at Seller’s option, shall (i) subject to Section 3.05(a), attempt to cure such Title Defect at any time prior to the Closing or (ii) exclude the affected Asset from the sale and reduce the Purchase Price by the Allocated Value of such affected Asset as set forth on Exhibit C.
(c) The value attributable to each Title Defect (the “Title Defect Value”) that is asserted by Buyer in the Title Defect notices shall be determined based upon the criteria set forth below:
(i) If the Title Defect is a lien upon any Asset, the Title Defect Value is the amount reasonably expected to be necessary to be paid to remove the lien from the affected Asset.
(ii) If the Title Defect asserted is that the Net Revenue Interest attributable to any Well or unit or Well location is less than that stated in Exhibit C or the Working Interest attributable to any Well or unit or Well location is greater than that stated in Exhibit C, then the Title Defect Value shall take into account the relative change in the interest from Exhibit C and the appropriate Allocated Value attributed to such Asset.
(iii) If the Title Defect represents an obligation, encumbrance, burden or charge upon the affected Asset (including any increase in Working Interest for which there is not a proportionate increase in Net Revenue Interest) for which the economic detriment to Buyer is unliquidated, the amount of the Title Defect Value shall be determined by taking into account the Allocated Value of the affected Asset, the portion of the Asset affected by the Title Defect, the legal effect of the Title Defect, the potential discounted economic effect of the Title Defect over the life of the affected Asset.
(iv) If a Title Defect is not in effect or does not adversely affect an Asset throughout the entire productive life of such Asset, such fact shall be taken into account in determining the Title Defect Value.
(v) The Title Defect Value shall be determined without duplication of any costs or losses included in another Title Defect Value hereunder.
(vi) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall a Title Defect Value exceed the Allocated Value of the Wxxxx, units or other Assets affected thereby.
(vii) Such other factors as are reasonably necessary to make a proper evaluation.
Title Defects 9.1 Purchaser shall have until April 21, 1999 in which to examine the Commitment and the Surveys. If Purchaser finds title to be defective, Purchaser shall, no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, notify Seller in writing, specifying the title defect(s). If Purchaser fails to give Seller written notice of any title defect(s) before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on April 21, 1999, the defects shown in the Commitment or the Surveys shall be deemed to be waived as title objections to closing this transaction.
9.2 If Purchaser has given Seller timely written notice of defect(s) and the defect(s) render the title other than as represented in this Agreement or if any new defects appear from the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date, Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause only those defects recorded after October 7, 1997 to be cured by the Closing Date. Seller agrees to remove, by payment, bonding or otherwise, any such lien (other than environmental liens) against the Property capable of removal by the payment of money or bonding. Seller shall not be obligated to (but may, in its sole and absolute discretion) cure any other defect or to buyout or settle any other claim or lien against the Property. At Seller's option, the Closing Date may be extended for a period not to exceed sixty (60) days for purposes of eliminating such title defects. If such additional time is reasonably required by Seller to cure such title defects, Seller's failure to extend the Closing Date shall be commercially unreasonable.
9.3 If Seller does not eliminate such defects as of the Closing Date, as the same may be extended under the preceding sentence, or if any new "title defects" appear between the date of the Commitment through the Closing Date which Seller does not eliminate as of the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the option to:
9.3.1 Close and accept the title "as is," without reduction in the Purchase Price and without claim against Seller for such title defects (except for any lien that Seller is required to cure pursuant to Section 9.2 that can be removed by the payment of money or bonding, for which credit shall be given Purchaser at the Closing unless Seller pays the same at the Closing) (and in such event, the Closing shall take place on the Closing Date); or
9.3.2 Cancel this Agreement, whereupon Escrow Agent, subject to the provisions of Section 11.3, shall return the Deposit, together with all interest earned thereon, to Purchaser, and both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this Agreement, except for those which expressly survive such termination, unless such title defects were caused by Seller's willful act or willful omission, in which event Seller shall remain liable to Purchaser for damages caused by such title defects.
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).

DSHS may collect an overpayment debt through lien, foreclosure, seizure and sale of the Contractor’s real or personal property; order to withhold and deliver; or any other collection action available to DSHS to satisfy the overpayment debt.
Notice to Purchaser DO NOT SIGN THIS CONTRACT UNTIL YOU READ IT OR IF IT CONTAINS BLANK SPACES.

Buyer may request from the Title Company an updated Title Commitment, together with copies of all documents referred to therein, for any or all of the Properties. Prior to the Effective Date, Seller has provided to Buyer a copy of an existing survey of each Property, and Buyer may, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, obtain an update of each survey (the “Surveys”). It shall be a condition to Closing that the Title Company shall be committed to issue to Buyer an ALTA extended coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance for each Property, in an amount equal to the Allocated Purchase Price and insuring title to each Property is vested in Buyer, subject only to the “Permitted Exceptions” (as hereinafter defined) and including only the “Endorsements” (as hereinafter defined) (individually and collectively, the “Title Policy”). The following matters shall be deemed “Permitted Exceptions”: all matters disclosed by the Title Commitments other than (A) those matters which the Title Company has removed from the Title Commitment by written supplement and (B) those “Mandatory Cure Items” (as hereinafter defined). “Mandatory Cure Items” shall mean (1) those matters which Seller has agreed in writing to cause to be removed at or before Closing in accordance with, and subject to, Paragraph 3(c), (2) any mortgages, deeds of trust or other similar encumbrance evidencing outstanding indebtedness voluntarily created by Seller which can be satisfied by the payment of an ascertainable amount of money, and (3) any mechanic’s, materialman’s or broker’s liens filed against a Property as a result of Seller’s acts or omissions (e.g., failure to pay) which can be satisfied by the payment of an ascertainable amount of money.
