If Seller does not receive Buyer’s notice by the date specified above, Buyer accepts the condition of title as disclosed by the Title Documents as satisfactory.


b.         Matters Not Shown by the Public Records.  Seller shall deliver to Buyer, on or before Off-Record Matters Deadline (§ 2c) true copies of all leases and surveys in Seller’s possession pertaining to the Property and shall disclose to Buyer all easements, liens (including, without limitation, governmental improvements approved, but not yet installed) or other title matters (including, without limitation, rights of first refusal, and options) not shown by the public records of which Seller has actual knowledge. Buyer shall have the right to inspect the Property to investigate if any third party has any right in the Property not shown by the public records (such as an unrecorded easement, unrecorded lease, or boundary line discrepancy). Written notice of any unsatisfactory condition disclosed by Seller or revealed by such inspection, notwithstanding § 13, shall be signed by or on behalf of Buyer and delivered to Seller on or before Off-Record Matters Objection Deadline (§ 2c). If Seller does not receive Buyer’s notice by said date, Buyer accepts title subject to such rights, if any, of third parties of which Buyer has actual knowledge.


c.         Survey Review.


           o       (1)         Not Applicable. This § 8c shall not apply.


           x      (2)         Conditional on Survey.  If the box in this subsection 8c(2) is checked, Buyer shall have the right to inspect the Survey. If written notice by or on behalf of Buyer of any unsatisfactory condition shown by the Survey, notwithstanding § 8b or § 13, is received by Seller on or before Survey Objection Deadline (§ 2c) then such objection shall be deemed an unsatisfactory title condition. If Seller does not receive Buyer’s notice by Survey Objection Deadline (§ 2c), Buyer accepts the Survey as satisfactory.


d.         Special Taxing Districts. SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICTS MAY BE SUBJECT TO GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS THAT IS PAID BY REVENUES PRODUCED FROM ANNUAL TAX LEVIES ON THE TAXABLE PROPERTY WITHIN SUCH DISTRICTS. PROPERTY OWNERS IN SUCH DISTRICTS MAY BE PLACED AT RISK FOR INCREASED MILL LEVIES AND EXCESSIVE TAX BURDENS TO SUPPORT THE SERVICING OF SUCH DEBT WHERE CIRCUMSTANCES ARISE RESULTING IN THE INABILITY OF SUCH A DISTRICT TO DISCHARGE SUCH INDEBTEDNESS WITHOUT SUCH AN INCREASE IN MILL LEVIES. BUYER SHOULD INVESTIGATE THE DEBT FINANCING REQUIREMENTS OF THE AUTHORIZED GENERAL OBLIGATION INDEBTEDNESS OF SUCH DISTRICTS, EXISTING MILL LEVIES OF SUCH DISTRICT SERVICING SUCH INDEBTEDNESS, AND THE POTENTIAL FOR AN INCREASE IN SUCH MILL LEVIES.


In the event the Property is located within a special taxing district and Buyer desires to terminate this Contract as a result, if written notice, by or on behalf of Buyer, is received by Seller on or before Off-Record Matters Objection Deadline (§ 2c), this Contract shall terminate. If Seller does not receive Buyer’s notice by such date, Buyer accepts the effect of the Property’s inclusion in such special taxing district and waives the right to terminate for that reason.


e.         Right to Object, Cure. Buyer’s right to object shall include, but not be limited to, those matters listed in § 13. If Seller receives notice of unmerchantability of title or any other unsatisfactory title condition or commitment terms as provided in §§ 8a, b, c and d above, Seller shall use reasonable efforts to correct said items and bear any nominal expense to correct the same prior to Closing. If such unsatisfactory title condition is not corrected to Buyer’s satisfaction on or before Closing, this Contract shall terminate; provided, however, Buyer may, by written notice received by Seller on or before Closing, waive objection to such items.


f.         Right of First Refusal or Approval.  If there is a right of first refusal on the Property, or a right to approve this Contract, Seller shall promptly submit this Contract according to the terms and conditions of such right. If the holder of the right of first refusal exercises such right or the holder of a right to approve disapproves this Contract, this Contract shall terminate. If the right of first refusal is waived explicitly or expires, or the Contract is approved, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect. Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of the foregoing. If expiration or waiver of the right of first refusal or Contract approval has not occurred on or before Right of First Refusal Deadline (§ 2c), this Contract shall terminate.


g.         Title Advisory.  The Title Documents affect the title, ownership and use of the Property and should be reviewed carefully. Additionally, other matters not reflected in the Title Documents may affect the title, ownership and use of the Property, including without limitation boundary lines and encroachments, area, zoning, unrecorded easements and claims of easements, leases and other unrecorded agreements, and various laws and governmental regulations concerning land use, development and environmental matters. The surface estate may be owned separately from the underlying mineral estate, and transfer of the surface estate does not necessarily include transfer of the mineral rights or water rights. Third parties may hold interests in oil, gas, other minerals, geothermal energy or water on or under the Property, which interests may give them rights to enter and use the Property. Such matters may be excluded from or not covered by the title insurance policy. Buyer is advised to timely consult legal counsel with respect to all such matters as there are strict time limits provided in this Contract (e.g., Title Objection Deadline [§ 2c] and Off-Record Matters Objection Deadline [§ 2c]).
