ACCORDANCE WITH THIS AGREEMENT. BY THEIR SEPARATELY EXECUTING THIS
SECTION 1.6 BELOW, BUYER AND SELLER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THEY HAVE READ

Insurance Company, (the “Title Company” )
shall deliver to Buyer, within two (2) business days after the
Effective Date, a preliminary title report for the Land (the
“Preliminary Report” ), together with
copies of all underlying documents. Buyer shall have until
February 27, 2009 (the “Title Review
Period” ) within which to object in writing to Seller
and Escrow Holder as to any matters affecting title shown on the
Preliminary Report or that would be disclosed by an inspection of
the Property (the “Objections” ), it
being agreed that the Purchase Price is based upon free and clear
title subject to the following (the “Permitted Title
Exceptions” ):
(i) All
matters of record described in the Preliminary Report or any
amendment or supplement thereto approved by Buyer in writing in
Buyer’s sole discretion;
(ii) All
instruments that are required to be recorded in the official
records of the County prior to the Grant Deed pursuant to this
Agreement;
(iii) The
usual printed exclusions, exceptions, conditions and stipulations
contained in an ALTA standard or extended owner’s policy of
title insurance;
(iv) Any
matters that would be disclosed by a proper inspection or survey of
the Property;
(v) The
lien of the Performance Trust Deed and the Replacement ROFR (as
such terms are defined in Article XI below);
and
Page 3
(vi) Such
other matters resulting from Buyer’s actions.
(b)
Deemed Disapproval . Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Buyer’s failure to provide any written Objections to the
matters affecting title shown on the Preliminary Report prior to
the expiration of the Title Review Period shall not be deemed
Buyer’s approval of the matters described as title exceptions
in the Preliminary Report, and only upon Buyer’s delivery of
a written notice to Seller and to Escrow Holder expressly approving
the Preliminary Report shall Buyer have been deemed to have
approved the Preliminary Report.
(c)
Curing of Title Objections. If the Objections are made
within the Title Review Period, Seller shall have two business
(2) days after receipt of the Objections in which to cure or
attempt to cure Objections by Buyer to matters reflected in the
Preliminary Report; provided, however, that except as provided in
Section 2.1(e) below, Seller shall have no obligation
to cure the same or to expend funds in connection therewith. If
Seller, despite such attempt, should be unable or advise Buyer in
writing that it is unwilling to cure the Objections within such
time period, Buyer, in its sole discretion, within two
(2) business days after receipt of written notice from Seller
(or the expiration of Seller’s five business day cure
period), may elect to:
(i) Waive
in writing, without qualification, the curing of those Objections
that Seller shall have been unable (or unwilling) to cure.
Buyer’s failure to give such a written waiver in writing
shall be deemed an election by Buyer to not waive such uncured
Objections; or
(ii) Terminate
this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow
Holder.
If Buyer
neither expressly waives the curing of Objections made, nor
expressly provides written notice of Buyer’s decision to
terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Title
Review Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved the
Preliminary Report.
(d)
Amended Preliminary Report . In the event that after
delivery of the Preliminary Report by Escrow Agent to Buyer, Escrow
Agent issues an amended or supplemental Preliminary Report with
respect to the Property, Escrow Agent shall promptly deliver to
Buyer and Seller such amended or supplemental Preliminary Report,
together with the best available copies of all instruments referred
to therein and not previously furnished to Buyer. Buyer shall have
two (2) business days from Buyer’s receipt of any
amended or supplemental Preliminary Report (but in no event later
than the scheduled Closing Date) in which to notify Seller, in
writing, of any Objections Buyer may have to any item set forth in
any amended or supplemental Preliminary Report, unless such item
was previously approved or waived by Buyer or was created by Buyer.
If Buyer does not notify Seller in writing of any Objections within
the time specified above, Buyer shall be deemed to have disapproved
all matters described as title exceptions in the amended or
supplemental Preliminary Report. If the Objections pursuant to this
subsection are made within the time specified, Seller shall have
until the Close of Escrow (provided, however, that Seller shall
have no obligation to cure the same or to expend funds in
connection therewith, except as required under
Section 2.1(e) below). If Seller, despite such attempt,
should be unable (or advises Buyer in writing that it is unwilling)
to cure the Objections
Page 4
within such
period of time, Buyer shall have two (2) business days after
written notice thereof from Seller (but in no event later than the
scheduled Closing Date) to waive in writing the curing of the
Objections which Seller shall have been unable or unwilling to cure
by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent. Buyer’s failure
to timely give such a written waiver shall be deemed an election by
Buyer to terminate this Agreement. The Close of Escrow shall be
extended as necessary, but not longer than five (5) business
days, to permit the occurrence of the foregoing notices, responses
and cure efforts.
(e)
Further Encumbrances. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained above, on or before the Closing Date, Seller
shall remove any mortgage liens, deed of trust liens and security
agreements constituting a lien or security interest against the
Property as of the Opening of Escrow, if any. After the Opening of
Escrow Seller shall not permit any voluntary liens to encumber the
Property, or enter into any agreement or Preliminary Report, which
would be binding upon the Property or the owner thereof following
the Close of Escrow, and Buyer shall not be required to make an
Objection to any such matters.
Section 2.2
Conveyance of Title . At Closing, Seller shall convey the
Real Property to Buyer by execution and delivery of a Deed (as
defined in Section 4.2(a) hereof). As a condition to
Closing, the Title Company shall be prepared to issue a CLTA
Standard Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance (the
“Title Policy” ) covering the Real
Property, in the full amount of the Purchase Price, subject only to
the Permitted Exceptions; provided, however, that Buyer may elect
to obtain an ALTA Extended Coverage Owner’s Policy of Title
Insurance provided that Buyer pays any excess expense (as
contemplated by Section 4.5 below) and timely provides
any required survey or other documents. Buyer’s performance
under this Agreement shall not be excused if Buyer is unable to
timely obtain such extended title coverage.

Section 8.1
Risk of Loss . In the event of loss or damage to the
Property or any portion thereof which is not “Major”

and effect provided that Seller shall, at Seller’s option,
either (a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) assign
to Buyer all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to
any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any
casualty insurance policies or condemnation awards relating to the
premises in question. If Seller elects to perform repairs upon the
Property, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such
repairs promptly, and the date of Closing shall be extended for a
reasonable time to allow for the completion of such repairs. If
Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Buyer, the Purchase
Price shall not be reduced. Upon Closing, full risk of loss with
respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer.

notice to Seller within five (5) days after receipt of
Seller’s written notice, to terminate this Agreement in which
event the provisions of Section 2.3 above shall
Page 14
apply;
provided, however, if Buyer fails to provide any notice within said
five (5) day notice, such failure shall be deemed
Buyer’s election to terminate this Agreement. If Buyer does
not elect to terminate this Agreement within said five (5) day
period, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed with
Closing. In that event Seller shall at Seller’s option either
(a) perform any necessary repairs, or (b) cause the
Closing to occur promptly and assign to Buyer through Escrow all of
Seller’s right, title and interest in and to any claims and
proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty insurance
policies or condemnation awards relating to the premises in
question. If Seller elects to perform repairs upon the Property,
Seller shall use reasonable efforts to complete such repairs
promptly, and the date of Closing shall be extended for a
reasonable time in order to allow for the completion of such
repairs. If Seller elects to assign a casualty claim to Buyer, the
Purchase Price shall not be reduced. Upon Closing, full risk of
loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Buyer.
Section 8.3
Definition of “Major” Loss or Damage . For
purposes of Section 8.1 and Section 8.2 ,
“Major” loss or damage refers to the
following: (a) loss or damage to the Land hereof such that the
cost of repairing or restoring the premises in question to
substantially the same condition which existed prior to the event
of damage would be, in the opinion of a qualified expert selected
by Seller and reasonably approved by Buyer, equal to or greater
than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00), and
(b) any loss due to a condemnation which permanently and
materially impairs the proposed use of the Property. If Buyer does
not give written notice to Seller of Buyer’s reasons for
disapproving a qualified expert within three (3) business days
after receipt of notice of the proposed qualified expert, then
Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the qualified expert
selected by Seller.

Seller’s Broker, and each of Buyer and Seller will protect,
indemnify, defend and hold the other party free and harmless from

therewith. Further, if any person other than Seller’s Broker
or Buyer’s Broker makes a claim for brokerage commissions or

acts or alleged acts of said party or its representatives, said
party will protect, indemnify, defend and hold the other party free
and harmless from and against any and all loss, liability, cost,

connection therewith. The provisions of this paragraph shall
survive Closing or any termination of this Agreement.
