Defect and, in any case, on or before the date of Closing. After receipt of
such notice, Seller shall use such efforts and expend such amount as are
reasonable to remove or cure any such Title Defects prior to Closing.

to attempt to cure such Title Defect. If Seller elects to invoke the Title
Defect Extension, Seller shall give written notice to Purchaser when any
Title Defect is cured and Closing shall occur on the tenth (10th) business
day following the giving of such notice or such other date to which the
parties may agree which shall be, in any event, prior to the end of the
thirty (30) day time period referenced above for Title Defect extension. If
Seller does not or is unable to so remove or cure all such Title Defects
prior to Closing, Purchaser may: (i) waive all such uncured Title Defects
and accept such title as Seller is able to convey as of Closing; or (ii)
terminate this Agreement and all parties shall be relieved of any further
obligations hereunder.
Seller shall be entitled to use and rely on the net proceeds from Closing
otherwise due to the Seller in order to cure or remove any Title Defect
which may be removed by payment of an ascertainable amount of money and for
which the title policy will delete or affirmatively insure over the Title
Defect so cured in conjunction with, and at the time of, the Closing.
Purchaser agrees that any Title Defect shall be deemed cured if Seller
shall cause the Title Defect to be deleted from the Title Commitment and
the "Title Policy" as defined below, or if Seller obtains affirmative title
insurance protection inuring to the Purchaser with respect thereto at or
before the Closing.
