ARTICLE 3
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
3.1 Representations and Warranties of Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 16.1, Seller hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that, except as set forth in Exhibit “L” attached hereto and incorporated herein, to Seller’s knowledge as of the Effective Date:
(a) Seller has not received a written notice, not subsequently cured, from any governmental entity citing Seller for any material violation of any law, ordinance, order, or regulation which is applicable to the present use and occupancy of the Property.
(b) A true, accurate, and complete copy of each Tenant Lease has been delivered to the Buyer. Other than the Tenant Leases, there are no other lease amendments or agreements between Seller and tenants related to the Property; provided, however that Seller’s property manager, on behalf of Seller has entered into (i) a letter agreement dated July 14, 2005 with Mosaic Company proposing to lease unit 110 in the building on the Property to Mosaic Company, and (ii) a letter agreement dated July 21, 2005 with Danic Custom Homes proposing to lease unit 105 in the building on the Property to Danic Custom Homes. There exists no right or option for the tenant to purchase any interest in the Property now or at any time in the future. All representations contained in the Tenant Leases made by Seller or its
8
agent, as the landlord thereunder, are true and correct. Seller has not received written notice from the tenant, and otherwise has no knowledge, that the tenant disputes the computation of any rents or other sums payable pursuant to the Tenant Leases or claims a breach of any covenant, representation, or warranty made by Seller or their agents under the Tenant Leases. All brokerage commissions, finder’s fees, and similar payments, however denominated, whether now owing or to become due at some later time, with respect to the Tenant Leases or otherwise with respect to the Property have been paid or will be paid prior to Closing. As of the Closing Date, no right or interest of Seller under the Tenant Leases will be assigned, mortgaged, hypothecated, or otherwise encumbered by or through Seller;
(c) Seller has not been served in any litigation, arbitration or other judicial, administrative, or other similar proceedings involving, related to, or arising out of the Property which is currently pending, and which would have a material impact on Buyer’s ownership or operation of the Property;
(d) Seller, and the individuals signing this Agreement on behalf of Seller, have the full legal power, authority, and right to execute and deliver, and to perform their legal obligations under this Agreement, and Seller’s performance hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby, have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Seller and no remaining partnership or limited liability company action is required to make this Agreement binding on Seller;
(e) the list of Service Contracts attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit M is true and correct as of the date specified thereon (to be updated as of the Closing Date); provided, however, that Seller has been notified orally of increases in the cost of the pest control and waste management services provided to the Property and, provided, further, that Seller has been notified by the Lincolnshire-Riverwoods Fire Protection District that such district is in the process of installing a wireless monitoring system to monitor the Property and such installation is expected to be completed in August, 2005; Seller has not received a written claim from any party thereto alleging that Seller has defaulted in performing any of their obligations under any of the Service Contracts that has not been cured or otherwise resolved;
(f) Seller has not received an official governmental notice of any actual condemnation of the Property or any part thereof;
(g) Seller has not received a written notice from any governmental agency with respect to any Hazardous Material contamination on the Property, or with respect to any investigation, administrative order, consent order or agreement, litigation, or settlement with respect to Hazardous Material or Hazardous Material
9
contamination that is in existence with respect to the Property. As used herein, “Hazardous Material” means any hazardous, toxic or dangerous waste, substance, or material, as currently defined for purposes of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or any other federal, state, or local law, ordinance, rule, or regulation, applicable to the Property, and establishing liability standards or required action as to reporting, discharge, spillage, storage, uncontrolled loss, seepage, filtration, disposal, removal, use, or existence of a hazardous, toxic, or dangerous waste, substance or material;
(h) there are no employees of Seller working at the Property; and
(j) Seller represents and warrants that Seller, all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) a ten percent (10%) or greater ownership interest in Seller, all guarantors and/or indemnitors of the obligations of Seller (if any) in favor of Buyer in connection with the sale of the Property: (i) are not, and shall not become, a person or entity with whom Buyer is restricted from doing business with under regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the Department of the Treasury (including, but not limited to, those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including, but not limited to, the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action; (ii) are not, and shall not become, a person or entity with whom Buyer is restricted from doing business with under the International Money Laundering Abatement and Financial Anti-Terrorism Act of 2001 or the regulations or orders thereunder; and (iii) are not knowingly engaged in, and shall not engage in, any dealings or transaction or be otherwise associated with such persons or entities described in (i) and (ii) above.
For purposes of this Agreement and any document delivered at Closing, whenever the phrase “to Seller’s knowledge,” or the “knowledge” of Seller or words of similar import are used, they shall be deemed to refer to facts within the actual knowledge only of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx Xxxxxxxx and no others, at the times indicated only, without duty of inquiry.
If, subsequent to the Effective Date and on or before the Closing Date, Seller becomes aware that any of the representations or warranties set forth herein have changed or is incorrect in any respect, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer, in writing, of such fact. If the discrepancy was caused, allowed, or authorized by Seller, or anyone acting on behalf of Seller, Seller shall promptly correct same. Failure to so correct the same shall be deemed to be a default hereunder by Seller. Otherwise, Buyer shall have a right to
10
approve or disapprove any such discrepancy, which approval or disapproval shall be given by written notice delivered to Seller within a reasonable time following Buyer’s evaluating the effect of such discrepancy. If Buyer approves such discrepancy and elects to close escrow, or if Buyer obtains knowledge (from whatever source, including, without limitation, any tenant estoppel certificates or any due diligence deliveries) that contradicts any of Seller’s representations and warranties herein and Buyer nevertheless consummates the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, then Seller’s representations and warranties contained herein shall be deemed to have been made as of the Closing, subject to such exception or contradiction and Seller shall have no liability to Buyer therefor. If Buyer disapproves of such discrepancy, and (a) such discrepancy consists of a representation or warranty that was incorrect when made by Seller or that is no longer true due to a subsequent action caused or authorized by Seller, then this Agreement shall be terminated and Buyer shall be entitled to all remedies as set forth in Section 12.3 of this Agreement entitled “Default by Seller” or (b) such discrepancy consists of a representation or warranty is no longer true due to a subsequent action that was not caused or authorized by Seller, then this Agreement shall be terminated pursuant to the section entitled “Non-Default Termination.”
Subject to the provisions of Section 16.1 hereof, Seller shall, effective from and after the Closing Date, indemnify, defend and hold Buyer harmless from and against any actual, direct damages (exclusive of any consequential damages but including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal costs) incurred by Buyer which Buyer can prove Buyer would not have incurred but for inaccuracy in the representations and warranties of Seller set forth in this Section hereof entitled “Representations and Warranties of Seller” as of the Closing Date.
3.2 Representations and Warranties of Buyer. Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller that:
(a) Buyer has the full legal power, authority, and right to execute and deliver, and to perform its legal obligations under, this Agreement, Buyer’s performance hereunder and the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite action on the part of Buyer, and no remaining action is required to make this Agreement binding on Buyer, and Buyer has the financial capacity to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Neither the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereunder, nor the carrying out by Buyer of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby will conflict with, result in a breach of, constitute a default under, or accelerate the maturity of (a) any applicable provision of Buyer’s organizational documents or other governing instrument, (b) any applicable Legal Requirement to which Buyer is subject, or (c) any other
11
agreement, indenture, or instrument to which Buyer is a party or by which Buyer is or may be bound or affected. No consent of any third party is required in order for Buyer to enter into this Agreement or any other agreement contemplated hereunder or for Buyer to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
The express representations and warranties of Buyer and Seller made in this Agreement shall not merge into any instrument or conveyance delivered at the Closing and shall survive Closing for a period of twelve (12) months. Seller makes no representations regarding the condition of the Property except as expressly set forth herein, it being understood and agreed by the parties that the Property is being sold to Buyer “AS IS, WHERE IS.” Buyer acknowledges and agrees that it has had or will have the opportunity to conduct such inspections, investigations and other independent examinations of the Property and related matters as Buyer sees fit, including but not limited to the physical and environmental conditions thereof, during the Inspection Period and, except as set forth in Section 3.1 (as limited by Section 16.1), Buyer will rely upon the same and not upon any statements of Seller or of any officer, director, employee, agent or attorney of Seller.
ARTICLE 4
THE TRANSACTION
4.1 Escrow. In order to effect the conveyance contemplated by this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to open an escrow at Escrowholder and Title Insurer shall serve as Escrowholder. A copy of this Agreement shall be furnished to Escrowholder upon full execution hereof.
4.2 Purchase Price. Subject to the provisions hereof, Buyer agrees to pay the Purchase Price to Seller.
4.2.1 Xxxxxxx Money. At the time of Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, Buyer shall deposit with Escrowholder the Xxxxxxx Money and Buyer shall cause Escrowholder to notify Seller, no later than two (2) business days after Escrowholder’s receipt thereof, that Escrowholder has received the Xxxxxxx Money in cash or other immediately available funds, and is holding same in accordance with the terms hereof. Failure of Buyer to timely deposit the Xxxxxxx Money with Escrowholder shall constitute a default by Buyer hereunder.
4.2.2 Retention and Disbursement of Xxxxxxx Money. While being retained by Escrowholder, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be held in an interest-bearing account at a federally-insured bank in the name of Escrowholder. The Escrowholder shall not disburse any of the Xxxxxxx Money except (a) in accordance with this Agreement, (b) in
12
accordance with written instructions executed by both Buyer and Seller, or (c) in accordance with the following procedure:
If Buyer or Seller, by notice to Escrowholder, makes demand upon the Escrowholder for the Xxxxxxx Money (the “Demanding Party”), the Escrowholder shall, at the expense of the Demanding Party, give notice of such demand (the “Notice of Demand”) to the other party (the “Other Party”). If Escrowholder does not receive notice from the Other Party contesting such disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money within ten (10) business days from the date on which the Notice of Demand was given, Escrowholder shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to the Demanding Party. If Escrowholder does receive notice from the Other Party contesting such disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money within five (5) business days from the date on which the Notice of Demand was given, Escrowholder shall thereafter disburse the Xxxxxxx Money only in accordance with written instructions executed by both Buyer and Seller, or in accordance with a final, non-appealable court order.
4.2.3 Cash at Closing. Buyer shall pay to Seller the Purchase Price in cash or other immediately available funds, less the Xxxxxxx Money (which shall be delivered by Escrowholder to Seller), plus costs to be paid by Buyer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and plus or minus prorations and adjustments shown on the closing statement executed by Buyer and Seller.
4.3 Conveyance of Deed. Subject to the provisions hereof, the Land Trustee shall, on the Closing Date, convey an undivided eighty and 40/100 percent (80.4%) tenant in common interest in the Property to Buyer by means of a Trustee’s Deed (the “Deed”), in substantially the form as Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein, subject to those matters permitted therein.
4.4 Multi-Property Contingency. Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledge that Buyer’s and Seller’s obligation with regard to Closing is contingent upon Buyer (or an affiliate of Buyer) simultaneously, with the purchase of the Property, purchasing two additional office buildings located in Lincolnshire, Illinois, which office buildings are commonly known as Two Overlook Point and Three Overlook Point (the “Additional Buildings”). If Buyer (or an affiliate of Buyer) does not purchase the Additional Buildings: (a) for any reason other than a default by Buyer, Buyer shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the section entitled “Non-Default Termination”, or (b) for any reason other than a default by Seller, Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to terminate this Agreement pursuant to the section entitled “Non-Default Termination.”
13
ARTICLE 5
TITLE AND SURVEY
5.1. Title Insurance Commitment. Seller has heretofore caused Title Insurer to deliver to Buyer a standard owner’s preliminary title commitment (the “Commitment”) describing the title to the Property, together with legible copies of the exceptions set forth in the Commitment, with the cost thereof to be paid in accordance with the Section hereof entitled “Costs.” Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Acceptance Date to examine same and to notify Seller and Escrowholder in writing of its objections to title (all items so objected to being hereinafter referred to as the “Objectionable Items”), in which case Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, within ten (10) days of receiving written notice of Buyer’s disapproval, to remove any Objectionable Items (or otherwise cure the problems or provide assurances reasonably satisfactory to Buyer that such exception(s) or problem(s) will be removed or otherwise cured on or before the closing). All matters not specifically approved in writing by Buyer shall be deemed objected to by Buyer. All matters listed on Schedule 2 to Exhibit A hereto and any other matters specifically approved in writing by Buyer shall be deemed to be “Permitted Exceptions.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller hereby agree to cure or remove: (i) any liens or other encumbrances upon the Property other than Permitted Exceptions, which can be cured by the payment of money, and (ii) any matters of title other than the Permitted Exceptions arising directly or indirectly, in whole or part, from any act or omission of Seller or any act or omission of anyone acting (or omitting to act) on behalf of Seller or under contract with Seller.
If Seller is able to convey insurable title to the Property subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and the Title Company agrees in writing that it is in fact issuing to Buyer an ALTA owner’s title insurance policy, 1970 Form B as revised 10/17/70 and 10/17/84, covering the Property in the amount of $34,991,854, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, with a zoning 3.0/3.1 endorsement, a covenants, conditions and restrictions endorsement; a public access endorsement; a survey endorsement; a comprehensive endorsement; a location endorsement, then Buyer shall be obligated to proceed with Closing, subject to the other terms and conditions hereof. If Seller is unwilling or unable to cure any matter which Seller is not obligated to cure or Title Company is unwilling or unable to agree in writing that it will issue the referenced policy with the specific endorsements, Seller shall forthwith give written notice of such fact to Buyer, specifying those matters Title Insurer is unwilling to insure and which of such Objectionable Items Seller is unable or unwilling to cure, and Buyer shall, on or before ten (10) days after receipt by Buyer of Seller’s notice (if such ten (10) day period would expire after the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Inspection Period shall be extended so that such ten (10) day period coincides with the expiration of the Inspection Period), notify Seller of Buyer’s election either:
(a) To accept title to the Property subject to the matters specified in Seller’s notice (or if the objection is to the form of policy to be issued, to accept the policy and endorsements as specified in such notice), in which event the obligations of the parties hereunder shall not be affected by reason of such matters; such matters shall be deemed to be included among the Permitted Exceptions or a permitted form of title policy, as the case may be, and the sale contemplated hereunder shall be consummated without reduction of the Purchase Price by virtue of any such matter, and Buyer shall have no further right to terminate this Agreement by reason of such matters; or
14
(b) To terminate this Agreement in accordance with the Section hereof entitled “Non-Default Termination.”
If Seller shall not have received notice from Buyer setting forth Buyer’s election within the time period specified above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Subparagraph (b) above.
Seller’s failure to cause the Title Insurer to issue the policy in the form and with the endorsements specified or to remove such Objectionable Items or any matter(s) affecting title which Seller is obligated to cure or elects to remove or cure shall be a Non-Default Termination hereunder by Seller.
If the title insurance policy to be delivered to Buyer at Closing would reflect any matters other than the Permitted Exceptions, then the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller with regard to such items shall be as set forth in this Section; provided, however, that if Seller shall elect to cure any such matters, the Closing shall, at Seller’s option, exercisable by written notice which must be received by Buyer no later than the business day preceding the date otherwise set for Closing, be postponed one time only to a business day specified in such notice which is no more than twenty (20) days after the date previously set for Closing.
5.2. Subsequent Matters Affecting Title. Seller and Buyer shall promptly notify the other party if it becomes aware prior to Closing of any matters affecting title not specified in the Survey, Commitment, or the ALTA Supplement. Seller shall not create any new exceptions to title, and shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent any other person or entity from creating new exceptions to title to the Property prior to Closing. If Buyer becomes aware of any matters affecting title not specified in the Survey, Commitment, or the ALTA Supplement, all such subsequent matters shall be subject to Buyer’s approval as if they had been so disclosed, except that the Buyer shall in any event have no less than five (5) business days to review and either approve or disapprove such subsequent exceptions. If approved, such matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.

Buyer shall not have any right to indemnification hereunder with respect to any environmental investigatory, corrective or remedial action except to the extent such action is (i) required by environmental laws or regulations in effect as of the date hereof or (ii) otherwise necessary to reduce levels of contamination to beneath cleanup standards applicable to the Property as established under such laws or regulations, employing cost effective methods and risk based standards.
6.4. Buyer’s Right to Terminate. Until the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have the right to conduct the inspections and investigations specified in the Section hereof entitled “Condition of Property,” to review the Survey, the Commitment, the ALTA Supplement, and to review any other items, materials, or matters as Buyer may, in its sole discretion, elect to obtain and/or review at Buyer’s sole cost and expense in connection with the Property.

Closing Date and Buyer approves the same and delivers an Acceptance Notice, the Closing shall occur one (1) business day after expiration of the Inspection Period, or such earlier date to which Buyer and Seller may mutually agree. If Seller shall not timely receive a written notice from Buyer, Buyer shall be conclusively deemed to have disapproved the environmental report and, further, Buyer shall have been deemed to have delivered a Termination Notice, in which event this Agreement shall terminate in accordance with the Section hereof entitled “Non-Default Termination”.

MINIMUM STANDARD DETAIL REQUIREMENTS for
ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEYS
as adopted by | ||||
American Land Title Association | ||||
American Congress on Surveying & Mapping | ||||
and | ||||
National Society of Professional Surveyors |
9
It is recognized that members of the American Land Title Association (ALTA) have specific needs, peculiar to title insurance matters, which require particular information for acceptance by title insurance companies when said companies are asked to insure title to land without exceptions as to the many matters which might be discoverable from survey and inspection and not be evidenced by the public records. In the general interest of the public, the surveying profession, title insurers and abstracters, ALTA, the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (ACSM) and the National Society of Professional Surveyors, Inc. (NSPS) jointly promulgate and set forth such details and criteria for standards. It is understood that local variations may require local adjustments to suit local situations, and often must be applied. It is recognized that title insurance companies are entitled to rely on the survey furnished to them being of the appropriate professional quality, both as to completeness and as to accuracy. It is equally recognized that for the performance of a survey, the surveyor will be provided with appropriate data which can be relied upon in the preparation of the survey.
For a survey of real property and the plat or map of the survey to be acceptable to a title insurance company for purposes of insuring title to said real property free and clear of survey matters (except those matters disclosed by the survey and indicated on the plat or map), certain specific and pertinent information shall be presented for the distinct and clear understanding between the client (insured), the title insurance company (insurer), and the surveyor (the person professionally responsible for the survey).
These requirements are:
1. The client shall request the survey or arrange for the survey to be requested and shall provide a written authorization to proceed with the survey from the person responsible for paying for the survey. Unless specifically authorized in writing by the insurer, the insurer shall not be responsible for any costs associated with the preparation of the survey. The request shall specify that an “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY” is required, meeting the then-current accuracy standards jointly adopted by ALTA, ACSM and NSPS. The request shall also designate which of the optional items listed in Table A are to be incorporated. The request shall set forth the record description of the property. Complete copies of the record description of the property, any record easements benefitting the property, the record easements or servitudes and covenants affecting the property (“Record Documents”), documents of record referred to in the Record Documents, and any other documents containing desired appropriate information affecting the property being surveyed and to which the survey shall make reference shall be provided to the surveyor for notation on the plat or map of survey.
2. The plat or map of such survey shall bear the name, address, telephone number, and signature of the professional land surveyor who made the survey, his or her official seal and registration number, the date the survey was completed and the dates of all revisions, and the caption “ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey” with the certification set forth in paragraph 8.
3. An “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY” shall be in accordance with the then-current “Accuracy Standards for Land Title Surveys” (“Accuracy Standards”) as adopted, from time to time, by the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping, the National Society of Professional Surveyors, and the American Land Title Association and incorporated herein by reference.
4. On the plat or map of an “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY,” the survey boundary shall be drawn to a convenient scale, with that scale clearly indicated. A graphic scale, shown in feet or meters or both, shall be included. A north arrow shall be shown and when practicable, the plat or map of survey shall be oriented so that north is at the top of the drawing. Symbols or abbreviations used shall be identified on the face of the plat or map by use of a legend or other means. If necessary for clarity, supplementary or exaggerated diagrams shall be presented accurately on the plat or map. The plat or map shall be a minimum size of 8 ½ by 11 inches.
1
5. The survey shall be performed on the ground and the plat or map of an “ALTA/ ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY” shall contain, in addition to the required items already specified above, the following applicable information:
(a) | All data necessary to indicate the mathematical dimensions and relationships of the boundary represented, with angles given directly or by bearings, and with the length and radius of each curve, together with elements necessary to mathematically define each curve. The point of beginning of the surveyor’s description shall be shown as well as the remote point of beginning if different. A bearing base shall refer to some well-fixed bearing line, so that the bearings may be easily re-established. All bearings around the boundary shall read in a clockwise direction wherever possible. The North arrow shall be referenced to its bearing base and should that bearing base differ from record title, that difference shall be noted. |
(b) | When record bearings or angles or distances differ from measured bearings, angles or distances, both the record and measured bearings, angles, and distances shall be clearly indicated. If the record description fails to form a mathematically closed figure, the surveyor shall so indicate. |
(c) | Measured and record distances from corners of parcels surveyed to the nearest right-of-way lines of streets in urban or suburban areas, together with recovered lot corners and evidence of lot corners, shall be noted. The distances to the nearest intersecting street shall be indicated and verified. Names and widths of streets and highways abutting the property surveyed and widths of rights of way shall be given. Any use contrary to the above shall be noted. Observable evidence of access (or lack thereof) to such abutting streets or highways shall be indicated. Observable evidence of private roads shall be so indicated. Streets abutting the premises, which have been described in Record Documents, but not physically opened, shall be shown and so noted. |
(d) | The identifying titles of all recorded plats, filed maps, right of way maps, or similar documents which the survey represents, wholly or in part, shall be shown with their appropriate recording data, filing dates and map numbers, and the lot, block, and section numbers or letters of the surveyed premises. For non-platted adjoining land, names, and recording data identifying adjoining owners as they appear of record shall be shown. For platted adjoining land, the recording data of the subdivision plat shall be shown. The survey shall indicate platted setback or building restriction lines which have been recorded in subdivision plats or which appear in a Record Document which has been delivered to the surveyor. Contiguity, gores, and overlaps along the exterior boundaries of the surveyed premises, where ascertainable from field evidence or Record Documents, or interior to those exterior boundaries, shall be clearly indicated or noted. Where only a part of a recorded lot or parcel is included in the survey, the balance of the lot or parcel shall be indicated. |
(e) | All evidence of monuments shall be shown and noted to indicate which were found and which were placed. All evidence of monuments found beyond the surveyed premises on which establishment of the corners of the surveyed premises are dependent, and their application related to the survey shall be indicated. |
(f) | The character of any and all evidence of possession shall be stated and the location of such evidence carefully given in relation to both the measured boundary lines and those established by the record. An absence of notation on the survey shall be presumptive of no observable evidence of possession. |
(g) | The location of all buildings upon the plot or parcel shall be shown and their locations defined by measurements perpendicular to the boundaries. If there are no buildings erected on the property being surveyed, the plat or map shall bear the statement, “No buildings.” Proper street numbers shall be shown where available. |
(h) | All easements evidenced by a Record Document which have been delivered to the surveyor shall be shown, both those burdening and those benefitting the property surveyed, indicating recording information. If such an easement cannot be located, a note to this effect shall be included. Observable evidence of easements and/or servitudes of all kinds, such as those created by roads; rights-of-way; water courses; drains; telephone, telegraph, or electric lines; water, sewer, oil or gas pipelines on or across the surveyed property and on adjoining Property if they appear to affect the |
2
surveyed property, shall be located and noted. If the surveyor has knowledge of any such easements and/or servitudes, not observable at the time the present survey is made, such lack of observable evidence shall be noted. Surface indications, if any, of underground easements and/or servitudes shall also be shown. |
(i) | The character and location of all walls, buildings, fences, and other visible improvements within five feet of each side of the boundary lines shall be noted. Without expressing a legal opinion, physical evidence of all encroaching structural appurtenances and projections, such as fire escapes, bay windows, windows and doors that open out, flue pipes, stoops, eaves, cornices, areaways, steps, trim, etc., by or on adjoining property or on abutting streets, on any easement or over setback lines shown by Record Documents shall be indicated with the extent of such encroachment or projection. If the client wishes to have additional information with regard to appurtenances such as whether or not such appurtenances are independent, division, or party walls and are plumb, the client will assume the responsibility of obtaining such permissions as are necessary for the surveyor to enter upon the Property to make such determinations. |
(j) | Driveways and alleys on or crossing the property must be shown. Where there is evidence of use by other than the occupants of the property, the surveyor must so indicate on the plat or map. Where driveways or alleys on adjoining Property encroach, in whole or in part, on the property being surveyed, the surveyor must so indicate on the plat or map with appropriate measurements. |
(k) | As accurately as the evidence permits, the location of cemeteries and burial grounds (i) disclosed in the process of researching title to the premises or (ii) observed in the process of performing the field work for the survey, shall be shown. |
(l) | Ponds, lakes, springs, or rivers bordering on or running through the premises being surveyed shall be shown. |
6. As a minimum requirement, the surveyor shall furnish two sets of prints of the plat or map of survey to the title insurance company or the client. If the plat or map of survey consists of more than one sheet, the sheets shall be numbered, the total number of sheets indicated and match lines be shown on each sheet. The prints shall be on durable and dimensionally stable material of a quality standard acceptable to the title insurance company. At least two copies of the boundary description prepared from the survey shall be similarly furnished by the surveyor and shall be on the face of the plat or map of survey, if practicable, or otherwise attached to and incorporated in the plat or map. Reference to date of the “ALTA/ACSM LAND TITLE SURVEY,” surveyor’s file number (if any), political subdivision, section, township and range, along with appropriate aliquot parts thereof, and similar information shown on the plat or map of survey shall be included with the boundary description.
7. Water boundaries necessarily are subject to change due to erosion or accretion by tidal action or the flow of rivers and streams. A realignment of water bodies may also occur due to many reasons such as deliberate cutting and filling of bordering lands or by avulsion. Recorded surveys of natural water boundaries are not relied upon by title insurers for location of title.
When a property to be surveyed for title insurance purposes contains a natural water boundary, the surveyor shall measure the location of the boundary according to appropriate surveying methods and note on the plat or map the date of the measurement and the caveat that the boundary is subject to change due to natural causes and that it may or may not represent the actual location of the limit of title. When the surveyor is aware of changes in such boundaries, the extent of those changes shall be identified.
3
8. When the surveyor has met all of the minimum standard detail requirements for an ALTA/ACSM Land Title Survey, the following certification shall be made on the plat:
To (name of client), (name of lender, if known), (name of title insurance company, if known), (name of others as instructed by client):
This is to certify that this map or plat and the survey on which it is based were made in accordance with “Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys,” jointly established and adopted by ALTA, ACSM and NSPS in 1999, and includes Items of Table A thereof. Pursuant to the Accuracy Standards as adopted by ALTA, NSPS, and ACSM and in effect on the date of this certification, undersigned further certifies that [Surveyor to complete certificate with the appropriate ONE of the following three phrases]
• | the Positional Uncertainties resulting from the survey measurements made on the survey do not exceed the allowable Positional Tolerance. |
• | the survey measurements were made in accordance with the “Minimum Angle, Distance, and Closure Requirements for Survey Measurements Which Control Land Boundaries for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys.” |
• | proper field procedures, instrumentation, and adequate survey personnel were employed in order to achieve results comparable to those outlined in the “Minimum Angle, Distance, and Closure Requirements for Survey Measurements Which Control Land Boundaries for ALTA/ACSM Land Title Surveys.” |
