7. Title.
(a) Within ten (10) days after the date hereof, Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Purchaser a preliminary title report (the “Title Report”) from the Title Company showing record title of the Land and Improvements and all liens, claims, encumbrances, easements, rights-of-way, encroachments, reservations, restrictions, and all other matters of record affecting the Land and Improvements, together with legible copies of all such matters, including vesting and exception instruments, listed in the Title Report.
(b) Purchaser shall have fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Title Report (the “Title Review Period”) to object in writing to any liens, encumbrances, and other matters reflected by the Title Report (the “Title Objection Notice”). All such matters to which Purchaser so objects shall be “Non-Permitted Exceptions”). If no such objection for a matter is given during the Title Review Period, all such matters shall be “Permitted Title Exceptions,” except for judgment liens, construction liens, and other liens against the Property (unless such liens were caused by Purchaser and other than the liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent). Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Response Period”), Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of whether or not it elects to cure or remove such Non-Permitted Exceptions prior to Closing; however, Seller at its cost shall be obligated to cure, remove or insure around all judgment liens, construction liens and other liens or mortgages against the Property (unless such liens were caused by Purchaser and other than the liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent), whether or not Purchaser objects thereto during the Title Review Period. If within Seller’s Response Period, Seller delivers notice to Purchaser that it does not elect to cause all of the Non-Permitted Exceptions to be removed, cured or insured around, or if Seller fails to timely deliver any notice to Purchaser within Seller’s Response Period, then Purchaser may either:
(i) purchase the Property subject to the Non-Permitted Exceptions (other than judgment liens, construction liens, and other liens against the Property, but not including liens caused by the Purchaser or liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent), in which event such Non-Permitted Exceptions shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions; or
(ii) terminate this Agreement.
(c) If prior to Closing, the Title Company issues a supplemental or amended Title Report showing additional title exceptions (an “Amended Title Report”), Purchaser shall have an additional period of time (a “Supplemental Review Period”) equal to five (5) Business Days from the receipt of the Amended Title Report to object in writing to any such additional exceptions (a “Supplemental Title Objection Notice”). If no such objections are given during the Supplemental Review Period, such exceptions shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions, except for judgment liens, construction liens, and other liens against the Property (unless such liens were caused by Purchaser and other than the liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent). Within five (5) Business Days after delivery of the Supplemental Title Objection Notice (“Seller’s Supplemental Response Period”), Seller shall give Purchaser written notice of whether or not it elects to cure or remove such Non-Permitted Exceptions prior to Closing; however, Seller at its cost shall be obligated to cure, remove or insure around all judgment liens, construction liens and other liens or mortgages against the Property (unless such liens were caused by Purchaser and other than the liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent), whether or not Purchaser objects thereto during the Supplemental Title Review Period. If within Seller’s Supplemental Response Period, Seller delivers notice to Purchaser that it does not elect to cause all of the Non-Permitted Exceptions to be removed, cured or insured around, or if Seller fails to timely deliver any notice to Purchaser within Seller’s Supplemental Response Period, then Purchaser may either:
4 |
(i) purchase the Property subject to the Non-Permitted Exceptions (other than judgment liens, construction liens, and other liens against the Property, but not including liens caused by the Purchaser or liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent), in which event such Non-Permitted Exceptions shall be deemed Permitted Title Exceptions; or
(ii) terminate this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, all liens caused by Purchaser and liens for taxes and assessments which are not delinquent, are Permitted Title Exceptions.
