If Buyer fails to timely deposit the Earnest Money Deposit with Escrow Agent, Seller may, at its election, terminate this Agreement, in which case it shall be null and void ab initio and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except as otherwise provided under this Agreement. If Buyer defaults or terminates this Agreement after the Due Diligence Deadline Date as defined in section 4.3 below (absent a default by Seller), the Earnest Money Deposit shall be disbursed to Seller as liquidated damages pursuant to Section 8.2.

Title to and Conveyance of Property.

3.1. Survey. If Buyer shall require a survey of the Real Property, Buyer, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, shall order a survey of the Real Property (the "Survey"). The Survey shall be prepared by a surveyor licensed in the State of Nevada, prepared in accordance with the standards adopted by the American Land Title Association and the American Congress on Surveying and Mapping known as the "Minimum Standard Detail Requirements of Land Title Surveys," setting forth all matters required on an ALTA survey, sufficient to allow issuance of an ALTA Owner’s Extended Coverage Title Insurance Policy and all endorsements required by Buyer. The Survey shall be certified to Buyer and to Escrow Agent. If the Survey is issued following the Title Report referred to below, Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer a supplement to the Title Report setting forth those items which the Survey and any inspections reveal, and which would be listed as exceptions in an ALTA Owner’s Extended Coverage Title Insurance Policy. Seller will provide any existing survey of the Real Property to Buyer, without warranty, provided Seller has a copy of said survey.

3.2. Review and Approval of Title. Within five (5) days after the Effective Date, Escrow Agent shall provide Buyer with a current Preliminary Title Report ("Title Report") issued by First Centennial Title Insurance Company (“Title Company”) describing the title to the Real Property, together with legible copies of the exceptions set forth in the Title Report. The Title Report, the Survey and the title exception documents are collectively referred to herein as the "Title Documents." Within five (5) days following receipt, Buyer may approve or disapprove the Title Documents for the Real Property by delivering written notice to Seller ("Buyer’s Title Notice") specifying each title defect or matter for which Buyer is requesting a cure by Seller ("Title Defect") and each Title Company requirement ("Title Requirement") which Buyer is requesting Seller to satisfy in order for the title insurance policy to be issued for the Real Property at Closing as provided under Section 3.4. Buyer’s failure to deliver Buyer’s Title Notice to Seller within the time period specified above shall be a conclusive presumption that Buyer has approved the Title Documents, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. Within five (5) business days after receiving Buyer’s Title Notice, Seller shall deliver to Buyer written notice ("Seller’s Title Notice") of those Title Defects which Seller covenants and agrees to either eliminate or cure to Buyer’s satisfaction by the Closing Date and those Title Requirements which Seller agrees to satisfy by the Closing Date. Seller’s failure to deliver Seller’s Title Notice to Buyer within the time period specified above shall be deemed to constitute Seller’s election not to eliminate or cure any such Title Defect or to satisfy any such Title Requirements. If Seller elects (or is deemed to have elected) not to eliminate or cure any of the Title Defects or to not satisfy any of the Title Requirements, Buyer shall have the right, by written notice delivered to Seller within five (5) days after receipt of Seller’s Title Notice or within five (5) days after the expiration of the time period during which Seller is entitled to deliver Seller’s Title Notice, whichever occurs first, to either: (i) waive its prior notice as to the Title Defects which Seller has elected not to cure and those Title Requirements which Seller has elected not to satisfy, in which case said Title Defects shall become Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined), or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivery of written notice to Seller in which case the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer subject to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer’s failure to deliver any written notice within such five (5) day period shall be a conclusive presumption that Buyer has approved the Title Documents, and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. All title and survey matters approved or deemed approved by Buyer are referred to as "Permitted Exceptions."

3.3. Conveyance of Title to Real Property. At the Close of Escrow, Seller agrees to convey title to the Real Property to Buyer by a Grant, Bargain and Sale Deed in the form and containing the terms set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto ("Deed"), said title to be subject to the following liens and encumbrances:

3.4. Title Insurance Policy.

Said title policy shall insure that Buyer's title to the Real Property is subject only to the exceptions described in Section 3.3. The cost of the title insurance policy shall be paid by the Seller in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.5. If Buyer requests the issuance of an ALTA Owner’s Extended Coverage Title Insurance Policy or any endorsements, Buyer shall bear all costs in connection with the issuance of said ALTA Owner’s Extended Coverage Title Insurance Policy or any endorsements as well as the cost of any lender’s policies of title insurance, and all costs incurred in connection with the Survey and the costs of any endorsements requested by Buyer.
