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-

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.

                7.3 Receipt of Materials . By executing this Agreement, Buyer acknowledges that (i) it has been given an adequate chance to review materials related to the Property at Seller’s offices (the “ Materials ”), and (ii) it has waived the right to review any other documents relating to the physical or environmental condition of the Property, service contracts for the Property, and any other documents that Seller may possess, control, or have access to relating to the Property. Buyer shall rely on the Materials at its own risk, and acknowledges that Seller is under has made no representations or warranties of any kind whatsoever to Buyer as to the accuracy or completeness of the content of the Materials or any other information delivered to or made available to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, as more fully provided in Paragraph 13.3 below.

-5-


 

in this Paragraph 7 are not timely satisfied by Seller or waived by Buyer, Buyer shall deliver written notice to Escrow Holder and Seller on or before the date which is one (1) business day prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, and Buyer shall have the right by any such timely notice to terminate this Agreement and the Escrow.

Buyer’s failure to notify Seller and Escrow Holder of its waiver of its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to its rights set forth in this Paragraph 7.7 shall be deemed Buyer’s election to proceed with the Closing. Closing shall constitute conclusive evidence that Seller has fully 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 Agreement is terminated prior to the Close of Escrow for any reason other than Seller’s default, Buyer shall be obligated to deliver to Seller copies of all studies, reports, tests, surveys, and other analyses pertaining to the Property received by Buyer, whether performed by Buyer itself or its consultants, agents, or vendors, provided that Buyer shall be deemed to make no representation as to and shall bear no responsibility for, the accuracy or completeness of said materials, and Seller shall rely on the same at its sole risk.
