Title Commitment reflects any exceptions to title that are unacceptable to PURCHASER in its
sole but reasonable discretion, or (ii) the Title Report or survey discloses any state of fact that is
unacceptable to PURCHASER in its sole but reasonable discretion (with any such exception or

herein shall be deemed a “Permitted Exception”, and PURCHASER shall take title subject to any
and all Permitted Exceptions. Permitted Exceptions shall also include general and special taxes
and assessments not yet due and payable, excluding rollback taxes (see paragraph 9A), zoning,

Property. Within five (5) days after receipt of PURCHASER’s notice of any Title Defect,
SELLER shall notify PURCHASER in writing whether or not SELLER elects to attempt to cure
such Title Defect, by either causing the removal of such Title Defect from the Title Commitment

is unable to effect a cure prior to the Closing, PURCHASER shall have the following options to
be exercised by delivery of written notice to SELLER within five (5) days of SELLER’s notice
or deemed election described above: (i) to accept a conveyance of the Property subject to the
Title Defect, specifically including any matter objected to by PURCHASER which SELLER is
unwilling or unable to cure (which such matter(s) shall thereafter be deemed to be a Permitted
Exception), without reduction of the Purchase Price; or (ii) to terminate this Agreement by
sending written notice thereof to SELLER, and upon delivery of such notice of termination, this
Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit shall be returned to PURCHASER, and thereafter
neither party hereto shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder except
those, if any, which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement.. At the Closing,
SELLER shall obtain releases of any liens encumbering the Property affirmatively placed on the
Property by SELLER without PURCHASER’s consent after the effective date of the Title
Commitment (“Post Effective Date SELLER Encumbrances”). SELLER shall obtain the full
reconveyance, release or other discharge, of record, at or prior to Closing, of any mortgage or
4
deed of trust, and shall convey the Property to PURCHASER free of any such mortgage or deed
of trust.

C. Survey. PURCHASER has commissioned a survey of the Property (the


“Survey”) which delineates the portion of the Property that PURCHASER is acquiring
hereunder. If the survey reveals anything that constitutes an exception to the title insurance
commitment, then PURCHASER shall cure said exception. SELLER shall approve the plat of
survey and subdivision that constitutes the Property being purchased.

with Full English Covenants of Title.
