All other exceptions to title shown on the Title Report not included in the Disapproved Title Exceptions shall be deemed approved by Buyer. Within three (3) days after receipt of Buyers notice of any Disapproved Title Exceptions, Seller may elect to (i) commit to cause such Disapproved Title Exceptions to be released of record or to cause the Title Company to endorse over such Disapproved Title Exceptions, prior to the Close of Escrow, or (ii) elect not to commit to remove any Disapproved Title Exceptions.

Buyers failure to make such election within said three (3) day period shall be deemed Buyers waiver of the Disapproved Title Exceptions and election to proceed to the Close of Escrow.
1. 5.1.2 Survey Approval. During the Feasibility Period, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation to obtain an ALTA survey of the Real Property (Survey). On or before December 23, 2004, Buyer may notify Seller in writing of any objections Buyer may have with respect to the Survey (Disapproved Survey Exceptions). Failure of Buyer to give Seller written notice of any Disapproved Survey Exceptions on or before December 23, 2004 shall be deemed Buyers approval of the Survey.

Buyers failure to make such election within said time period shall be deemed Buyers waiver of the Disapproved Survey Exceptions and election to proceed to the Close of Escrow.
2. 5.1.3 Termination of Agreement. In the event this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 5.1, Escrow Holder shall return the Initial Deposit and all interest accrued
thereon to Buyer, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except with respect to the indemnity obligations pursuant to Sections 7.6 and 12 of this Agreement.
1. 5.2 Failure to Remove Disapproved Exceptions. If, after having committed to remove a Disapproved Title Exception or Disapproved Survey Exception, Seller is unable, despite its best efforts, to cause such Disapproved Title Exception or Survey Exception to be released of record or endorsed over, Buyer shall have the option, on or before the Close of Escrow, to (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, in which case Escrow Holder shall immediately return to Buyer the Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit and all interest accrued thereon by Buyers unilateral instruction and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder except with respect to the indemnity obligations in Sections 7.6 and 12 of this Agreement, or (ii) waive its objection to the Disapproved Title Exception or Disapproved Survey Exception in question by delivering written notice of such waiver to Seller and Escrow Holder and proceed to the Close of Escrow without adjustment in the Purchase Price. If Buyer fails to deliver the waiver notice described in the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (i) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers failure to remove a Monetary Encumbrance on or before the Close of Escrow shall be a default by Seller under this Agreement. Seller may use its proceeds from the Purchase Price to remove any Monetary Encumbrance.
2. 5.3 Permitted Exceptions. As used herein, Permitted Exceptions shall mean all exceptions to title shown on the Title Report which are (i) standard preprinted exceptions in the Title Policy (as defined in Section 5.5) issued by Escrow Holder other than the creditors rights exception, which Seller shall cause to be removed, (ii) general and special real property taxes and assessments, a lien not yet due and payable, (iii) any other liens, easements, encumbrances, covenants, conditions and restrictions of record approved or expressly waived or deemed waived pursuant to Section 5.1, (iv) all Survey exceptions approved or expressly waived or deemed waived pursuant to Section 5.1 and (v) Sellers Lease (as defined in Section 5.6).

If between the date of Buyers approval of title and the Close of Escrow, any additional exception to title appears as shown in a supplemental title report issued by the Title Company that is not approved by Buyer or caused by Buyer or Buyers activities on the Property (in which case the additional title exception shall be deemed a Permitted Exception), Buyer shall give prompt written notice of such new title exception to Seller. Seller shall be obligated to remove from title (or to cause to be insured over to Buyers reasonable satisfaction) any Monetary Encumbrance or such additional title exceptions that are voluntarily created by Seller between the expiration of the Feasibility Period and the Close of Escrow.

notice to Seller and Escrow Holder and obtain the refund of the Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit and all interest accrued thereon and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligation hereunder
