3. Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent. Purchaser’s obligations hereunder are conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions during the time periods specified below (any of which conditions may be waived by Purchaser upon giving notice thereof to Seller):
(a) Seller, at its expense, has caused the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser a preliminary title report covering the Land and Improvements, including all documents identified as exceptions in the Title Report (collectively, the “Title Report”), and a Uniform Commercial Code search naming Seller and Electoglas, Inc. (the “UCC Search”). Purchaser shall notify Seller in writing (“Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice”) of any objections Purchaser may have to title exceptions contained in the Title Report or UCC Search prior to the expiration often (10) days following the Effective Date. Purchaser’s failure to deliver Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice on or before the expiration of the ten (10) day period referenced above shall be conclusively deemed Purchaser’s approval of the Title Report and the UCC Search. Seller shall have a period of seven (7) days after receipt of Purchaser’s Title Objection Notice in which to deliver written notice to Purchaser (“Seller’s Title Notice”) of Seller’s election to either (a) agree to remove the objectionable items at or prior to the Close of Escrow, or (b) decline to remove any such title exceptions and terminate this Agreement. The failure of Seller to issue a Seller’s Title Notice shall be deemed an election by Seller of subsection (b) immediately above. If Seller notifies Purchaser of its election not to remove such title exceptions and to terminate this Agreement rather than remove the objectionable items, or Seller fails to issue a Seller’s Title Notice, Purchaser shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) days after Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Title Notice, or five (5) days after the seven (7) day period referenced above, to agree to accept the Property subject to the objectionable items, in which event Seller’s election to terminate this Agreement shall be of no effect, and Purchaser shall take title to the Property subject to such objectionable items. Absent such written notice to Seller from Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, all recorded documents relating to the Loans shall be “Permitted Exceptions.” Any matters appearing in or on the Title Report, DCC Search or Survey (only if obtained by Purchaser) to which Purchaser does not object within the time frame set forth above or any title exceptions as to which Purchaser waives its objection in writing are referred to herein as “Permitted Exceptions.”

Seller agrees to cooperate, at no cost and expense to Seller, with Purchaser’s efforts to obtain any approvals required for Purchaser to operate its research and manufacturing business on the Land and Improvements including, but not limited to, executing any applications or other documents required to be signed by the Seller, as the lessee under the Lease. If Purchaser is dissatisfied with the results of its investigations (in Purchaser’s sole discretion), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Seller prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period, in which event this Agreement shall be null and void.
(c) Before March 15,2007, Seller utilizing its good faith efforts to negotiate and deliver to Purchaser a valid and binding lease termination agreement (the “Lease Termination Agreement”) in respect to that certain Lease Agreement dated March 20, 2002 (as amended, the “Tenant Lease”), by and between Seller, as landlord and Electroglas, Inc.

If Seller has not delivered the Lease Termination Agreement to Purchaser by March 14, 2007, or if Purchaser is dissatisfied with the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement (in Purchaser’s reasonable discretion), then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Seller on or before March 15,2007, in which event the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and this Agreement shall be null and void. In the event that Seller elects to transfer the Personal Property to Purchaser, such conveyance shall be without any warranty or representation of any kind, type or nature, and Purchaser shall accept such conveyance of the Personal Property “AS IS” and with all faults, in its then present condition. Electroglas has advised that it will transfer the “Forklift” to Seller or Purchaser for the sum of $4,000.00. Purchaser agrees that it will pay to Electroglas or Seller said sum in consideration of the transfer of the Forklift to Purchaser.
