If Purchaser fails to tender an Objection Notice on or before the Objection Deadline, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved and irrevocably waived any objections to any matters covered by the Title Documents and the Survey. On or before five (5) days after receiving the Objection Notice, (the “Response Deadline”), Seller may give Purchaser written notice (the “Response Notice”) of those objections Seller is willing to cure, if any.

If Purchaser is dissatisfied with the Response Notice or the lack of Response Notice, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after the Response Deadline. If Purchaser fails to timely exercise such right, Purchaser shall be deemed to accept the Title Documents and Survey with resolution, if any, of the objections set forth in the Response Notice (or if no Response Notice is tendered, without any resolution of the objections) and without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price. If Seller fails to cure any objections which Seller agreed to cure in the Response Notice by the date that is ten (10) days after the Objection Deadline, then Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy, either (a) accept the Title Documents and Survey without resolution of such objections and without any reduction or abatement of the Purchase Price, or (b) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice to Seller prior to Closing.

At its sole cost and expense, Seller shall cause the Title Company to update the Title Commitment at least ten (10) but not fewer than five (5) days prior to the Closing. If at any time following the date that is ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, any update to the Title Commitment discloses any additional item that Materially adversely affects title to the Property that was not disclosed on any version of or update to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser during the Due Diligence Period (the “New Exception”), Purchaser shall have a period of ten (10) days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “New Exception Review Period”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception. “Materially”, as used herein, means such New Exception that would hinder Purchaser’s ability to use the Property for its intended purpose, preclude such use altogether, or would, in Purchaser’s sole discretion, have the effect of adversely affecting the value or use of the Property by an amount exceeding five percent (5%) of the value of the Purchase Price. If Purchaser disapproves of the New Exception, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser as to whether it is willing to cure the New Exception. If Seller elects to cure the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable extension of the Closing Date to cure the New Exception. If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Purchaser within three (3) days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception. If Purchaser is dissatisfied with Seller’s response, or lack thereof, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect either to: (a) terminate this Agreement or (b) waive the New Exception and proceed to Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing sentence within ten (10) days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception.

If an assignee assumes all of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement in writing, then upon the effective date of the assignment of this Agreement to such assignee, Purchaser shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement.

Section 20.07 Severability. If any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect, invalidate, or render unenforceable any other term or provision of this Agreement. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 20.08 Further Assurances. Each of the Parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances, and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and give effect to the transactions contemplated hereby, provided such documents are customarily delivered in real estate transactions in the State of Colorado and do not impose any material obligations upon any Party hereunder except as set forth in this Agreement.

Section 20.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed by the Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be an original for all purposes, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 20.10 Headings. The captions or paragraph titles contained in this Agreement are for convenience and reference only and shall not be deemed a part of the text of this Agreement.

Section 20.11 No Waivers. No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party providing the waiver. No waiver by either Party of any failure or refusal to comply with any obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver of any other or subsequent failure or refusal to so comply.

Section 20.12 No Offer. This Agreement shall not be deemed an offer or binding upon Seller or Purchaser until this Agreement is fully executed and delivered by Seller and Purchaser.

Section 20.13 Waiver of Jury Trial. SELLER AND PURCHASER HEREBY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER ARISING IN TORT OR CONTRACT) BROUGHT BY SUCH PARTY AGAINST THE OTHER ON ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH THIS AGREEMENT. In the event of default and litigation commenced, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to recover attorney’s fees and costs from the non-prevailing Party.

Section 20.14 Remedies in the Event of Default.

(a) If Purchaser shall default in the observance or performance of Purchaser’s obligations under this Agreement and the Closing does not occur as a result thereof (a “Purchaser Default”), Seller shall have the right to (i) cancel this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to each other or this Agreement; or (ii) seek specific performance, damages, or both. And Purchaser shall reimburse Seller for Seller’s Costs (which reimbursement obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement). The term “Seller’s Costs” is defined for the purpose of this Agreement as the expenses, if any, actually incurred by Seller for: (i) title examination, survey, and municipal searches, including the issuance of Seller’s Title Commitment and any continuation thereof, without issuance of a title insurance policy, and issuance of Seller’s Title Policy; (ii) fees paid to Seller’s engineer for preparing any environmental and engineering reports with respect to the Property; and (iii) the actual and reasonable third-party costs incurred by Seller in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

(b) If Seller shall default in the performance of any of Seller’s obligations to be performed under this Agreement and the Closing does not occur as a result thereof (a “Seller Default”), Purchaser shall have the right to (i) cancel this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and neither Party shall have any further rights or obligations with respect to each other or this Agreement; or (ii) seek specific performance, damages, or both. And Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for Purchaser’s Costs (which reimbursement obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement). The term “Purchaser’s Costs” is defined for the purpose of this Agreement as the expenses, if any, actually incurred by Purchaser for: (i) title examination, survey, and municipal searches, including the issuance of the Title Commitment and any continuation thereof, without issuance of a title insurance policy, and issuance of the Title Policy; (ii) fees paid to Purchaser’s engineer for preparing any environmental and engineering reports with respect to the Property; (iii) costs of Purchaser’s Inspections, and (iii) the actual and reasonable third-party costs incurred by Purchaser in connection with the negotiation of this Agreement and Purchaser’s due diligence with respect to the Property, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees.
