ARTICLE 2
TITLE, SURVEY AND ENVIRONMENTAL
2.1
Title
Examination; Commitment for Title Insurance
. Purchaser shall have until the expiration
of the Inspection Period to examine title to the Property. During
the Inspection Period, Purchaser may, at its option, obtain from

Company” at Purchaser’s expense, an ALTA title
insurance commitment (the “Title Commitment’) covering
the Property, showing all matters affecting title to the Property
and binding the Title Company to issue at Closing an Owner’s
Policy of Title insurance in the full amount of the Purchase Price.
If Purchaser desires to obtain a Title Commitment, Purchaser shall
cause the Title Commitment to be issued within thirty (30) days
after the effective date.
2.2
Survey . During the Inspection
Period, Purchaser may, at its option, employ a surveyor or
surveying firm (the “Surveyor”), licensed by the state
in which the Property is located, to survey the Property and
prepare a survey thereof (the “Survey”). If Purchaser
desires to obtain a Survey, Purchaser shall cause the Survey to be
prepared within thirty (30) days after the Effective
Date.
2.3
Title/Survey
Objections: Cure of Title/Survey Objections
. Purchaser shall have until the earlier of
(i) ten (10) days after Purchaser’s receipt of both the Title
Commitment and the Survey or (ii) expiration of the Inspection
Period to give written notice to Seller of such objections as
Purchaser may have to any exceptions to title disclosed in the
Title Commitment or the Survey. Any notice of objections sent by
Purchaser to Seller shall be accompanied by a copy of the Survey
and a copy of the Title Commitment together with any instrument
that is the subject of Purchaser’s notice of objections. Any
exception to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or the Survey
to which Purchaser does not object by timely written notice shall
be a Permitted Exception.
2.3.2
In the event
Purchaser gives timely written notice of objection to any
exceptions to title, Seller shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to attempt to remove, satisfy or otherwise cure any
exceptions to title so objected to. Within ten (10) days after
receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objection,
(“Seller’s Title Cure Period”) Seller shall give
written notice to Purchaser informing Purchaser of Seller’s
election with respect to such exceptions. If Seller fails to give
written notice of election within such ten (10) day period, Seller
shall be deemed to have elected not to attempt to cure the matter
objected to. If Seller elects to attempt to cure any exceptions,
Seller shall be entitled to one or more reasonable adjournments of
the Closing of up to, but not beyond, the sixtieth (60th) day
following the date for Closing set forth in Section 4.1 hereof to
attempt such cure.
3
2.3.3
If Seller elects or
is deemed to have elected not to cure any exceptions to title
objected to by Purchaser or if, after electing to attempt to cure,
Seller determines that it is unwilling or unable to remove, satisfy
or otherwise cure any such exceptions, Purchaser’s sole
remedy hereunder in such event shall be either: (i) to accept title
to the Property subject to such exceptions as if Purchaser had not
objected thereto and without reduction of the Purchase Price or
(ii) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon the Escrow Agent shall
return the Earnest Money to Purchaser and the parties hereto shall
be relieved of all further liability and/or obligation hereunder.
Seller shall be deemed to have cured any such exception if the
Title Company agrees to affirmatively insure over such
exception.
2.3.4
To terminate this
Agreement pursuant to this Section 2.3, Purchaser must give written
notice to Seller of its election to terminate not later than (i)
five (5) business days after receipt of written notice from Seller
of Seller’s election not to attempt to cure any exception or
of Seller’s determination, having previously elected to
attempt to cure, that it is unable or unwilling to do so or (ii)
five (5) days after expiration of Seller’s Title Cure Period
if Seller is deemed herein to have elected not to attempt to cure
such exception. If Purchaser fails to give timely notice of its
election to terminate for any reason whatsoever such exception
shall be deemed to be a Permitted Exception.
2.4
Conveyance of
Title . At Closing, Seller shall convey
and transfer to Purchaser all of Seller’s right, title and
interest in and to the Property. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Property shall be conveyed subject to
the following matters, which shall be deemed to be “Permitted
Exceptions” for purposes hereof:
2.4.1
the rights of
tenants under the Leases;
2.4.2
the lien of all ad
valorem real estate taxes and assessments not yet due and payable

items which are or
become Permitted Exceptions pursuant to Section 2.3
hereof.

Assessment . Purchaser may, at its
option, also obtain, at Purchaser’s expense, an environmental
assessment covering the Property (the “Environmental
Report”). Purchaser shall, at any time prior to expiration of
the Inspection Period, give written notice to Seller of any matter
disclosed by such Environmental Report which Purchaser determines
to be unacceptable. In the event that Seller fails to cure or
correct such unacceptable environmental condition on or before
Closing, Purchaser may (i) terminate this Agreement, whereupon the
Escrow Agent shall promptly return the Earnest Money to Purchaser,
and the parties hereto shall thereafter be relieved of all further
liability and/or obligation hereunder or (ii) withdraw its
objection and proceed to Closing notwithstanding such unacceptable
environmental condition.
4
2.6
No Change in
Status. Seller shall not cause or permit the status of title to, or
the environmental condition of, the Property to be modified in any
way subsequent to the date of this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Purchaser.

Seller harmless from any claim for liabilities, costs, expenses
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred)
damages or injuries arising out of or resulting from the inspection
or testing of the Property by Purchaser or its agents, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, such

maintain public liability and property damage insurance in the
amount of $1,000,000, and automobile liability insurance in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 which insurance coverage shall name
Seller as an additional insured and which insurance coverage shall
otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to Seller and
adequate to insure against all liability of Purchaser and its
consultants, respectively, and each of its agents, employees or
contractors, arising out of the inspections or testing. All
inspections and testing shall occur at reasonable times agreed upon
by Seller and Purchaser and shall be conducted so as not to
interfere unreasonably with use of the Property by Seller or its
tenants.
3.2
Right of
Termination . Seller agrees that in the
event Purchaser determines (such determination to be made in
Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion) that the Property
is not suitable for its purposes, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement by giving written notice thereof to Seller
prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Purchaser
gives such notice of termination within the Inspection Period, this
Agreement shall terminate and the Earnest Money shall be returned
to Purchaser. Time is of the essence with respect to the provisions
of this Section 3.2. If Purchaser fails to give Seller a notice of
termination prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period
