conditioned upon its payment of all premiums and other costs
incurred in connection with the ALTA portion of Buyer’s Title
Policy or other additional coverage beyond a standard CLTA title
policy, to request and obtain an ALTA extended coverage policy of
title insurance for the Property and such additional endorsements
as Buyer may request, provided that such additional coverage or
endorsements shall not be a condition precedent to, or otherwise
excuse or delay any of, Buyer’s obligations under this
Agreement. Buyer shall have sole responsibility for obtaining, and
bearing the cost of, any survey(s) required by the Title
Company.
7. Conditions Precedent to the Close of Escrow for the
Benefit of Buyer . The Close of Escrow and Buyer’s
obligation to consummate the transaction contemplated by this
Agreement are subject only to the satisfaction or written waiver of
the following conditions precedent for Buyer’s benefit by the
dates designated below:
7.1 Title . Buyer hereby approves any matters of
title disclosed by the following documents (collectively, the
“ Title Documents ”) prepared and delivered to
Buyer by the Title Company: (a) the Preliminary Report v. 4
dated March 16, 2009, prepared and issued by the Title Company
with respect to the Property and attached hereto as
Exhibit E (the “ Report ”);
and (b) copies of all recorded documents referred to in the
Report. Upon the issuance of any amendment or supplement to the
Report which adds additional exceptions not created or caused by
Buyer, Buyer shall have the right of review and approval of said
amendment or supplement (provided that the period for Buyer to
review such amendment or supplement shall be one (1) business
day from receipt of the amendment or supplement). If Buyer fails to
notify Seller of its disapproval of any such new title exception(s)
within said one (1) business day period, Buyer shall be deemed
to have approved the same. If Buyer does notify Seller of its
disapproval of any such new title exception(s) in writing within
said one (1) business day period, Seller shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to notify Buyer in writing within two
(2) business days after receipt of Buyer’s written
objection notice that Seller desires to have until the Close of
Escrow in which to attempt to remove or to cure some or all of the
disapproved items to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction. In
connection therewith, Seller shall have the option, in
Seller’s sole discretion and without obtaining Buyer consent,
of curing Buyer’s objection to any new mechanic’s lien
in the face amount of Seventy-Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars
($75,000.00) or less by the posting of a bond by a reputable
bonding company reasonably acceptable to Buyer, provided that Buyer
shall have reasonable approval rights with respect to the form,
terms, and amount of the bond so posted. If, in Seller’s
reasonable estimation, such cure will require additional time,
Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to extend the
Scheduled Closing Date by five (5) business days.
Seller’s notice may limit such attempts to cure or remove to
exclude payment of money or taking any judicial action.
Seller’s failure to deliver such notice to Buyer within such
two (2) business day period with respect to any disapproved
item shall be deemed to be an election by Seller not to attempt to
remove or to cure such items. If Seller elects not to attempt to
remove or to cure some or all of the disapproved items pursuant
hereto, to Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction, or if Seller has
agreed to attempt to remove or cure some or all of such disapproved
items and is unable to or has failed to remove or cure the same,
then Buyer shall have, as Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy,
the right exercisable on or before one (1) business day prior
to the Scheduled Closing Date either (i) to waive such
exceptions to title,
-4-
and proceed
to take title to the Property without any deduction or offset in
the Purchase Price, or (ii) to terminate this Agreement and
the Escrow by giving written notice of such termination to Seller
and to Escrow Holder in which event Buyer and Seller shall have no
further liability to the other hereunder except for those
provisions that specifically survive the termination of this
Agreement and the Deposit as well as the remainder of the Buyer
Funds shall be returned to Buyer. Buyer’s failure to provide
Seller or Escrow Holder with written notice of termination no later
than one (1) business day prior to the Scheduled Closing Date
shall constitute Buyer’s election under clause
(i) above.

Property, the occupancy status of the Property and any other
physical inspections and/or investigations as Buyer deemed
necessary. In the event the physical condition of the Property
undergoes any material adverse changes from its condition as of the
Execution Date which would affect the use of the Property for
development purposes in violation of
Paragraph 23.2 below, Buyer shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement as provided in
Paragraph 7.7 below and the Deposit shall be
refunded to Buyer.

Seller’s previous loans in connection with the Property, and
any other proprietary information not relating to the physical or
environmental condition of the Property. By executing this
Agreement, Buyer acknowledges that it has no right to review any of
the Excluded Materials.
7.4 Covenants . By Scheduled Closing Date, Seller
shall not be in material default in the performance of any material
covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller under this
Agreement.

Buyer shall have the right by any such timely notice to terminate
this Agreement and the Escrow. If Buyer timely and properly

of this Agreement by Buyer (in which event, the Deposit shall be
paid to and retained by Seller), the Deposit, or such portion
thereof that has theretofore been deposited by Buyer with Escrow
Holder (less Buyer’s fifty percent (50%) share of any escrow

or obligations which expressly survive the termination of this
Agreement. Buyer’s failure to notify Seller and Escrow Holder

its rights set forth in this Paragraph 7.7 shall

performed its obligations under this Agreement and shall further
constitute a waiver by Buyer of any claims, demands and causes of
action that Buyer may have against Seller based upon any failure to
perform such obligations prior to Closing. In the event that this

shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
