ARTICLE 5

Evidence of Title and Survey

               5.1      Evidence of Title .  Within five (5) business days from the Effective Date, the Seller shall deliver to Buyer a mortgagee title insurance policy relating to the property (the "Prior Title Policy"). Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, the Buyer shall cause a title agent designated by the Buyer (the "Title Agent") to issue to Buyer (and deliver a copy to Seller of) an owner's title insurance commitment relating to the Real Property (the "Title Commitment"), underwritten by a nationally recognized title insurance company (the "Title Company"). Upon recordation of the Deed, the Buyer shall cause the Title Agent to issue an owner's title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price (the "Title Policy"), which Title Policy shall insure Buyer's fee simple interest in the Real Property.

               5.2      Title Matters .  Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period (the "Title Review Period") to review the Title Commitment. If Buyer discovers any Title Defects, Buyer shall give written notice to Seller of the Title Defects before the expiration of the Title Review Period. Following the Title Review Period, if Buyer discovers any Title Defects which post-date the

- 4 -

effective date of the Title Commitment, Buyer shall give written notice to Seller of the Title Defects within three (3) days from the date Buyer discovers said Title Defects (the "Objection Period"). "Title Defects" shall mean any matters or title exceptions which render title to the Real Property unmarketable in accordance with the applicable title standards adopted by the Florida Bar, excluding (i) the Permitted Exceptions, and (iii) all title matters set forth in or disclosed by the Title Commitment and/or the Prior Title Policy which were not timely objected to as Title Defects by the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5.2.

               In the event Buyer notifies Seller in writing of any Title Defects before the expiration of the Title Review Period and/or the Objection Period, as applicable, Seller shall have up to sixty (60) days from receipt of Buyer's written notice (the "Cure Period") to cure the Title Defects which have been noted by Buyer in its notice to Seller; provided that, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether it shall attempt to cure the Title Defects (and the Closing Date shall be extended until the expiration of the Cure Period if Seller elects to cure the Title Defects). Seller shall advise Buyer in writing whether it will attempt to cure the Title Defects within ten (10) days of Seller's receipt of Buyer's written notice regarding the existence of said Title Defects (and the time for delivery of any Deposit to the Escrow Agent due during this time period shall be extended until two (2) business days after Seller provides its notice to Buyer whether it shall attempt to cure the Title Defects). Buyer specifically acknowledges that Seller shall not be obligated to cure the Title Defects. Should Seller be unsuccessful in curing the Title Defects before the expiration of the Cure Period or should Seller be unwilling to cure the Title Defects, Buyer shall elect within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Cure Period or within five (5) Business Days of Buyer's receipt of Seller's notice that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the Title Defects, as applicable, to either (i) accept title to the Real Property as it then is and proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and demand a refund of the Deposit which shall be returned to Buyer, whereupon neither party shall have any further liability or obligations hereunder except for those liabilities and obligations which by the terms hereof expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If there are no Title Defects or if Seller is successful in curing the Title Defects, then Seller and Buyer shall proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price. Also, if Buyer fails to object in writing to any Title Defects before the expiration of the Title Review Period and/or the Objection Period, as applicable, then such failure shall constitute Buyer's acceptance and approval of status of title to the Real Property, such Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, and Seller and Buyer shall proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to cure the following items (the "Mandatory Cure Items"), whether described in the Title Commitment, or first arising or first disclosed by the Title Company (or otherwise to the Buyer) after the effective date of the Title Commitment: any mortgage lien granted by the Seller encumbering the Property. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if prior to closing, Seller fails to cure all Mandatory Cure Items, the Buyer may either: (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and receive a refund of the Deposit or (2) proceed to close on the Transaction and deduct from the Purchase Price a sum equal to the aggregate amount necessary to cure the Mandatory Cure Items.

               5.3      Survey .  Within five (5) days from the Effective Date, the Seller shall, to the extent within Seller's possession, deliver to Buyer a print of the survey obtained by the Seller in connection with Seller's acquisition of the Property (the "Prior Survey"). Prior to the expiration

- 5 -

of the Inspection Period, the Buyer may order, at Buyer's expense, a survey of the Real Property prepared in accordance with the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements for Land Title Surveys" jointly established and adopted in 1988 by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping (the "Survey").

               5.4      Survey Matters .  Buyer shall have until the expiration of the Inspection Period (the "Survey Review Period") to review the Survey. If Buyer discovers any Survey Title Defects (as defined below), Buyer shall give written notice to Seller of the Survey Title Defects before the expiration of the Title Review Period. "Survey Title Defects" shall mean any encroachments, easements, overlaps or other survey matters which render title to the Real Property unmarketable, excluding (i) the Permitted Exceptions and (ii) all encroachments, easements, overlaps and other survey matters set forth on or disclosed by the Survey and/or the Prior Survey which were not timely objected to as Survey Title Defects by the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Paragraph 5.4 before the expiration of the Survey Review Period.

               In the event Buyer notifies Seller in writing of any Survey Title Defects before the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall have up to sixty (60) days from receipt of Buyer's written notice (the "Survey Cure Period") to cure the Survey Title Defects which have been noted by Buyer in its notice to Seller; provided that, Seller, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether it shall attempt to cure the Survey Title Defects (and the Closing Date shall be extended until the expiration of the Survey Cure Period if Seller elects to cure the Survey Title Defects). Seller will advise Buyer in writing whether it will attempt to cure the Survey Title Defects within ten (10) days of Seller's receipt of Buyer's written notice regarding the existence of said Survey Title Defects. Buyer specifically acknowledges that Seller shall not be obligated to cure the Survey Title Defects. Should Seller be unsuccessful in curing the Survey Title Defects before the expiration of the Survey Cure Period or should Seller be unwilling to cure the Survey Title Defects, Buyer shall elect within five (5) Business Days of the expiration of the Survey Cure Period or within five (5) Business Days of Buyer's receipt of Seller's notice that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure the Survey Title Defects, as applicable, to either (i) accept title to the Real Property as set forth on and disclosed by the Survey and proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price, or (ii) terminate this Agreement and demand a refund of the Deposit which shall be returned to Buyer, whereupon neither party shall have any further liability or obligations hereunder except for those liabilities and obligations which by the terms hereof expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. If there are no Survey Title Defects or if Seller is successful in curing the Survey Title Defects, then Seller and Buyer shall proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price. Also, if Buyer fails to object in writing to any Survey Title Defects before the expiration of the Survey Review Period, then such failure shall constitute Buyer's acceptance and approval of status of title to the Real Property as set forth on and disclosed by the Survey, such Survey Title Defects shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions, and Seller and Buyer shall proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the Terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price.

ARTICLE 6

service contracts, appraisals, blueprints, soil tests, soil reports, environmental audits and engineering reports to the extent such items are in Seller's possession (collectively, the "Due Diligence Documents"). The Buyer shall have a seventy-five (75) day period commencing on the Effective Date (the "Inspection Period") to perform or cause to be performed all inspections and analyses relating to the Property that Buyer deems appropriate and necessary, including but not limited to reviewing Property-related agreements, licenses, permits, performing physical inspections, analyses, surveys, measurements, environmental tests (including, without limitation, testing of soil conditions and emissions and for the presence or absence of hazardous materials on or about the Property), and performing financial, land use, zoning and legal analysis regarding Buyer's intended use of the Property and general due diligence regarding compliance with applicable laws, regulations and ordinances (collectively, the "Inspections"). If Buyer is not satisfied with the result of the Inspections, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving Seller written notice of termination (the "Termination Notice") prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. If Buyer gives the Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer. Upon termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall promptly return all Due Diligence Documents to the Seller. The Buyer specifically acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall not be obligated to remedy, correct or cure any Property related defect(s) or other matter(s) disclosed by the Inspections, including any environmental condition. If the Buyer fails to deliver the Termination Notice prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then such failure to timely deliver the Termination Notice shall constitute Buyer's approval of the results of the Inspections, and Seller and Buyer shall proceed to close the Transaction pursuant to the terms of this Agreement without a reduction in the Purchase Price.

               All physical Inspections of the Property shall be performed by professional and licensed entities maintaining proper insurance (as reasonably determined by the Seller), including, without limitation, the insurance coverage set forth in Paragraph 6.4 of this Agreement.

               6.3      Satisfactory Inspections .  Buyer's failure to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of Article 6 shall constitute Buyer's acknowledgment that it is satisfied with the results of the Inspections and Buyer accordingly shall proceed to close the Transaction in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

- 7 -

               6.4      Indemnification .  Seller shall have no liability to Buyer or Buyer's agents, representatives or contractors resulting from their entry upon the Property and the conduct of the Inspections thereon.
