5. CONDITION OF TITLE.
5.1. If, prior to "Closing" (as hereinafter defined), a date-down to the
Title Commitment, the Existing Survey, or the Updated Survey discloses any new
Unpermitted Exception, Seller shall have thirty (30) days from the date of the
date-down to the Title Commitment or the Updated Survey, as applicable, at
Seller's expense, to (i) bond over, cure and/or have any Unpermitted Exceptions

Exception"), removed from the Title Commitment or to have the Title Insurer
commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by such
Unpermitted Exceptions, or (ii) have the right, but not the obligation, to bond
over, cure and/or have any Unpermitted Exceptions which, in the aggregate,
equal or exceed $100,000.00, removed from the Title Commitment or to have the
Title Insurer commit to insure against loss or damage that may be occasioned by
such Unpermitted Exceptions. In such event, the time of Closing shall be
delayed, if necessary, to give effect to said aforementioned time periods. If
Seller fails to cure or have said Unpermitted Exception removed or have the
Title Insurer commit to insure as specified above within said thirty (30) day
period or if Seller elects not to exercise its rights under (ii) in the
preceding sentence, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement upon notice to
Seller within five (5) days after the expiration of said thirty (30) day
period. In the event Seller elects not to exercise its right under clause (ii)
of this Paragraph 5.1, and if Purchaser, as a result of the Unpermitted
Exception which Seller has elected not to cure, terminates this Agreement, then
Seller shall, immediately upon demand by Purchaser, reimburse purchaser for all
documented third-party costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in connection
with this Agreement, up to a maximum of $25,000. Such third party costs shall
include, without limitation, fees and expenses payable by Purchaser to its
legal counsel, costs of third-party, tests and investigations obtained by

Purchaser and its employees and agents in connection with Purchaser's

Purchaser's election to terminate this Agreement as a result of an Unpermitted
Exception, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to take title subject to
said Unpermitted Exception. If Purchaser terminates this Agreement in
accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5.1, this Agreement shall become
null and void without further action of the parties and all Xxxxxxx Money
theretofore deposited into the escrow by Purchaser together with any interest
accrued thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have
any further liability to the other, except for Purchaser's obligation to
indemnify Seller and restore the Property, as more fully set forth in Paragraph

this Paragraph 5.1 above.
5.2. Seller agrees to convey fee simple title to the Property to
Purchaser by special warranty deed (the "Deed") in recordable form subject only
to the Permitted Exceptions and any Unpermitted Exceptions waived by Purchaser.
6. CONDEMNATION, EMINENT DOMAIN, DAMAGE AND CASUALTY.
6.1. Except as provided in the indemnity provisions contained in
Paragraph 7.1 of this Agreement, Seller shall bear all risk of loss with
respect to the Property up to the earlier of the dates upon which either
possession or title is transferred to Purchaser in accordance with this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of damage to the
Property by fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which
would cost less than or equal to $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller in good
faith) Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate its obligations under
this Agreement by reason thereof, but Seller shall have the right to elect to
either repair and restore the Property (in which case the Closing Date shall be
extended until completion of such restoration) or, either Seller or Purchaser
may elect to proceed to Closing in which case Purchaser shall receive an
assignment and transfer on the Closing Date of all of Seller's right, title and
interest in and to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account
of such fire or casualty. Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing of
any such fire or other casualty and Seller's determination of the cost to
repair the damage caused thereby. In the event of damage to the Property by
fire or other casualty prior to the Closing Date, repair of which would cost in
excess of $100,000.00 (as determined by Seller in good faith), then this
Agreement may be terminated at the option of Purchaser, which option shall be
exercised, if at all, by Purchaser's written notice thereof to Seller within
five (5) business days after Purchaser receives written notice of such fire or
other casualty and Seller's determination of the amount of such damages, and
upon the exercise of such option by Purchaser this Agreement shall become null
and void, the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser shall be returned to
Purchaser together with interest thereon, and neither party shall have any
further liability or obligations hereunder. In the event that Purchaser does
not exercise the option set forth in the preceding sentence, the Closing shall
take place on the Closing Date and Seller shall assign and transfer to
Purchaser on the Closing Date all of Seller's right, title and interest in and
to all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller on account of the fire or
casualty.
6.2. If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any
condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated, other than the
Condemnation Action, which might result in the taking of any part of the
Property or the taking or closing of any right of access to the Property,
Seller shall immediately notify Purchaser of such occurrence. In the event
that the taking of any part of the Property shall: (i) materially impair access
to the Property; (ii) cause any material non-compliance with any applicable
law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any federal, state or local authority or
governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Property or any portion
thereof; or (iii) materially and adversely impair the use of the Property as it
is currently being operated (hereinafter collectively referred to as a
"Material Event"), Purchaser may:
6.2.1. terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in
which event the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest
thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the
parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease;
or
6.2.2. proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign
to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made
in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.
6.3. Purchaser shall then notify Seller, within five (5) business days
after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice, whether Purchaser elects to
exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.1 or Paragraph 6.2.2. Closing shall be
delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election. If Purchaser fails
to make an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser shall
be deemed to have elected to exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.2. If
between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation or
eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a Material
Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in which event
Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in
and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain
proceedings.
6.4. If there is a Material Event and Purchaser elects to exercise its
rights under Paragraph 6.2.2, or if there is a condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding which does not constitute a Material Event, then, in either event,
(i) until expiration of the Inspection Period (as hereinafter defined) Seller
shall notify Purchaser of all communications and negotiations with the
governmental authority that initiated the condemnation or eminent domain
proceeding, and of all developments in the eminent domain or condemnation
litigation, if any, but shall not be required to obtain Purchaser's consent to
any settlement or condemnation award; and (ii) after expiration of the
Inspection Period, Seller shall continue to keep Purchaser informed as
described in clause (i), and Seller shall not agree to any settlement or
condemnation award without Purchaser's prior written consent.
6.5. Notwithstanding any other terms and provisions of this Agreement, the
Condemnation Action shall not constitute a Material Event giving rise to
Purchaser's right to terminate as set forth in Paragraph 6.2.1 above except in
the event that there is a material adverse change in said Condemnation Action
which occurs after the termination of the Inspection Period and prior to
Closing. Notwithstanding the immediately preceding sentence, until the Closing
Date (as hereinafter defined), Seller shall notify Purchaser of all
communications and negotiations from the date hereof with the governmental
authority that initiated the Condemnation Action, and of all developments in
the Condemnation Action, if any, and shall not agree to any settlement or
condemnation award with respect to the Condemnation Action without Purchaser's
prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

under this Paragraph 7.1 by Purchaser shall be at Purchaser's sole cost and
expense and Purchaser shall restore the Property to the condition existing
prior to the performance of such tests or investigations by or on behalf of
Purchaser. Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller and any

and inspection of the Property. Purchaser shall undertake its obligation to
defend set forth in the preceding sentence using attorneys selected by Seller,
in Seller's sole discretion.

at any time prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser is
satisfied with the results of its due diligence during the Inspection Period,
Purchaser shall give written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent that Purchaser
has elected not to exercise its termination rights hereunder. If such written
notice is not received by Seller pursuant to this Paragraph 7.1 prior to the
expiration of the Inspection Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have
elected to terminate this Agreement as of the end of the Inspection Period in
which case the Xxxxxxx Money deposited by Purchaser shall be immediately paid
to Purchaser, together with any interest earned thereon, and neither Purchaser
nor Seller shall have any right, obligation or liability under this Agreement,
except for Purchaser's obligation to indemnify Seller and restore the Property,
