13. Title Examination. Title Examination will be conducted as follows: (a) Seller's Title Evidence. Seller shall within fifteen (15) days after the date of this Agreement, furnish the following (collectively the "Title Evidence ") to Buyer: If the Real Property is abstract property, Seller shall deliver to Title or Buyer an Abstract of Title to the Real Property certified to a current date to include all appropriate judgment and bankruptcy searches. If the Real Property is registered property, Seller shall deliver to Title or Buyer a Registered Property Abstract to the Real Property certified to a current date to include all appropriate judgment and bankruptcy searches. In lieu of an Abstract or a Registered Property Abstract Seller may, at its cost, provide a Commitment for an ALTA Owner's Policy of Title Insurance insuring title to the Real Property, deleting standard exceptions and including affirmative insurance regarding zoning, appurtenant easements, and such other matters as may be identified by Buyer, in the amount of the Purchase Price. (b) Buyer's Objections. Within fifteen (15) days after receiving the last of the Title Evidence, Buyer will make written objections ( "Objections ") to the form and /or contents of the Title Evidence, or at Buyer's expense to make application for an ALTA Owner's Title Insurance Policy. Buyer shall have fifteen (15) days after receipt of its Commitment for Title Insurance to provide Seller with a copy of the Commitment and Buyer's Objections. Buyer's failure to make Objections within such time period will constitute a waiver of Objections. Any matter shown on such Title Evidence and not objected to by Buyer shall be a "Permitted Encumbrance" hereunder. Seller will have thirty (30) days after receipt of the Objections to cure the Objections, during which period the Closing Date will be postponed as necessary. Seller shall use its best efforts to correct any Objections. To the extent an Objection can be satisfied by the payment of money, Buyer shall have the right to apply a portion of the cash payable to Seller at the Closing to satisfaction of such Objection and the amount so applied shall reduce the amount of cash payable to Seller at the Closing. If the Objections are not cured within such 30 -day period, Buyer will have the option to do any of the following: (1) Terminate this Agreement. (2) Withhold from the Purchase Price an amount which, in the reasonable judgment of Title, is sufficient to assure cure of the Objections. Any amount so withheld will be placed in escrow with Title, pending such cure. If Seller does not cure such Objections within ninety (90) days after such escrow is established, Buyer may then cure such Objections and charge the costs of such cure (including reasonable attorney's fees) against the escrowed amount. If such escrow is established, the parties agree to execute and deliver such documents as may be reasonably required by Title, and Seller agrees to pay the charges of Title to create and administer the escrow. -3-
