Seller shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure Buyer’s objections to title; subject, however, to Seller’s obligation to remove all “Monetary Liens” (as defined below) by Closing. Seller shall notify Buyer in writing within five (5) days following Seller’s receipt of the Title Objection Letter concerning which title objections, if any, Seller has agreed to cure. In the event that Seller does not undertake to cure all of the objections in the Title Objection Letter to Buyer’s sole satisfaction (or does not timely respond to the Title Objection Letter), then Buyer shall have the right for five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s response to the Title Objection Letter (or five (5) days following the expiration of the period within which Seller was to so respond) to either (i) waive any such title objection in writing and proceed to Closing (in which event such waived title objection shall be deemed to be a “Permitted Encumbrance”, as defined below), or (ii) terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Seller and receive an immediate refund of the Deposit, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, in which event neither party hereto shall have any further obligations under this Agreement except for the Surviving Obligations . All exceptions set forth in Schedule B of the Title Commitment which are not objected to by Buyer (including matters initially objected to by Buyer which objections are subsequently waived in writing) are herein collectively called the “ Permitted Encumbrances ”. In the event that any update to the Title Commitment indicates the existence of any liens, encumbrances or other defects or exceptions (the “ Unacceptable Encumbrances ”) which are not
shown in the initial Title Commitment and that are unacceptable to Buyer, Buyer shall within five (5) days after receipt of any such update to the Title Commitment notify Seller in writing of its objection to any such Unacceptable Encumbrance (the “ Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice ”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall have no obligation to take any steps or bring any action or proceeding or otherwise to incur any expense whatsoever to eliminate or modify any of the Unacceptable Encumbrances; provided, however, that Seller shall, prior to Closing, eliminate by paying, bonding around or otherwise discharging in a manner satisfactory to Buyer (i) any Unacceptable Encumbrances that arise by, through or under Seller (but the foregoing shall not prevent Seller from contesting with the title insurance company any Unacceptable Encumbrance which Seller believes in good faith is fraudulent), and (ii) any mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, mechanics’ liens or monetary judgments that appear on the Title Commitment (“ Monetary Liens ”). In the event Seller is unable, unwilling or for any reason fails to eliminate or modify all of the Unacceptable Encumbrances to the satisfaction of Buyer (other than the Unacceptable Encumbrances and Monetary Liens required to be removed by Seller in accordance with the preceding sentence), Buyer may terminate this Agreement by delivering notice thereof in writing to Seller by the earliest to occur of (i) the Expected Closing Date, (ii) five (5) days after Seller’s written notice to Buyer of Seller’s intent to not cure one or more of such Unacceptable Encumbrances, or (iii) ten (10) days after the Unacceptable Encumbrance Notice, in the event Seller does not timely respond thereto. Upon a termination of this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, without the consent or joinder of Seller being required and notwithstanding any contrary instructions which might be provided by Seller, and neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations.
22. Survey . Within three (3) business days following the Date of Agreement, Buyer shall order, at its sole cost and expense, current, as-built surveys of each parcel of land comprising the Property prepared by a registered surveyor acceptable to Buyer (the “ Survey ”), which may be an update of any existing survey delivered by Seller to Buyer under Section 4 of this Addendum.
