Buyer may, at or prior to Closing, notify Seller in writing of any objections to title between (a) the expiration of the Inspection Period and (b) the date on which the transaction contemplated herein is scheduled to close. With respect to any objections to title set forth in such notice, Seller shall have the same option to cure and Buyer shall have the same option to accept title subject to such matters or to terminate this Agreement as those which apply to any notice of objections made by Buyer before the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any such matters, the date for Closing shall be automatically extended by a reasonable additional time to effect such a cure, but in no event shall the extension exceed sixty (60) days after the date for Closing set forth in Section 4.1.
