the Commitment and appropriate back-up documentation, Buyer shall
notify Seller and Escrow Holder in writing of its objections, if
any, to the exceptions and legal descriptions shown thereon.
Failure to so notify Seller and Escrow Holder shall be deemed
disapproval of all matters shown on the Commitment and/or Survey.

of Buyer's objections to title, Seller shall notify Buyer and Escrow
Holder in writing of which, if any, of the objected to matters will
be removed by Seller prior to Close of Escrow. Seller hereby agrees
to remove the lien of any mortgages or deeds of trust where Seller
is an obligor, mechanics liens, and liens for delinquent taxes. The
exceptions and Survey matters not objected to and the exceptions and
Survey matters Seller does not agree to remove are collectively
referred to as the "Permitted Exceptions".
5.5 If Seller does not agree to remove all objected to
exceptions and Survey matters, Buyer may either (i) close escrow
taking title subject to the Permitted Exceptions, or (ii) cancel
this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Initial Deposit, all
interest accrued thereon and all documents provided by Buyer here
under. Buyer shall notify Seller and Escrow Holder of its election,
in writing, within five (5) business days of receipt of the notice
set forth in Section 5.4, above. If such election is not made
