ARTICLE 6. Title. 6.1. Title to the Property is to be conveyed to Buyer at Closing subject to only Permitted Encumbrances. "Permitted Encumbrances" means any and all of the following to which Buyer does not give notice of objection on or before the date forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date of this Agreement: (a) matters disclosed by the Property Information Materials, (b) matters of public record as of the effective date of the Title Evidence, other than such mortgages and deeds of trust and other monetary liens as Buyer does not assume under Section 4.1, (c) matters that would be revealed by a physical inspection, or a complete and accurate survey, of the Property as of the effective date of the Title Evidence, (d) rights -of -way and easements that do not materially interfere with the existing use of the Property, (e) zoning and other governmental restrictions, (f) matters common to any plat or subdivision in which the Property is located, and (g) taxes, assessments and other public charges not due as of the Closing Date; title is to be insurable, by First American Title Insurance Company, subject only to the Permitted Encumbrances.

If Buyer does not give such notice, this Agreement shall be deemed terminated and the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer. In the event this Agreement is deemed terminated in accordance with the foregoing as a result of Buyer not giving notice, Buyer shall provide written confirmation of such termination within thirty (30) days following written request therefor by Seller. 6.2.

If the aggregate value - REAL:36715;1331B2338.41 7 of all Deficiencies (if any) as determined hereunder exceeds two percent (2 %) of the Purchase Price, then such Deficiencies shall, together, constitute the "Material Deficiencies".

The value of each Deficiency (if any) shall be the lesser of the reasonably anticipated costs to cure that Deficiency or the diminution in the fair market value of the Property caused by that Deficiency; if there is any dispute as to the amount of such cost or diminution, then Seller's reasonable determination thereof shall apply.

If Buyer does not give Seller a Buyer's Deficiencies Notice within that period, then Buyer shall have no further right to object to Material Deficiencies and shall be required to accept any and all Material Deficiencies without postponement of the Closing Date, reduction in the Purchase Price or claim against Seller on account thereof.
