ARTICLE 2
TITLE DUE DILIGENCE
2.1 MII acknowledges that it has been fully and sufficiently advised by its own advisors and legal counsel, independent of QUAD, regarding the extent of required cleanup and assumption of liabilities and the requirements of the State of New Mexico regarding that cleanup and liability. MII acknowledges that it likewise has been fully and sufficiently advised regarding required regulatory approvals, approval of relevant divisions with the State of New Mexico, regarding required filings or registrations, authorizations, notices and permits, consents, and approvals of public or governmental bodies, authority or other person or entity that may be necessary for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
2.2 Access to Assets. QUAD shall grant MII such access to the Assets thereof, including all records relating to same, as is necessary to permit MII to conduct a thorough due diligence investigation of the title to the Assets. MII shall have a maximum of seven (7) days from the date of this Agreement to conduct its due diligence (this 7-day period, as it may be extended in accordance with this Agreement or by other agreement of the parties, will be referred to herein as the “Due Diligence Period”).
2.3 MII shall notify QUAD in writing (the “Defect Notice”) by the end of the Due Diligence Period of any failures or defects in title (“Title Defects”) that MII may have identified as pertaining to the Assets. The Defect Notice shall identify the alleged defect and the nature of the defect. If no defects are identified in said written notice, MII will be deemed to have accepted title for said Assets.

Title Defect, as used in this Agreement, shall mean any lien, encumbrance, encroachment or other defect in QUAD’s title to the Assets that would cause MII not to have defensible title to such Assets.
