Page 10

d and legal obligation of Seller (not of any third party) that would survive Closing and thereafter be enforceable against the Property or Purchaser, and (ii) can be satisfied and discharged merely by the payment of a liquidated sum of money to the beneficiary thereof. 4.1.4 For purposes of this Agreement, Must-Cure Objections and Objections Seller expressly agrees to cure pursuant to Section 4.1.2 shall be deemed cured if Seller: (a) deposits with the Escrow Agent at Closing (or instructs the Escrow Agent to withhold from Seller’s proceeds of sale) an amount sufficient (or a bond or other security in an amount sufficient) to satisfy such Objection in full, (b) causes the Escrow Agent to provide “affirmative insurance over” such objection, provided that such affirmative insurance shall be reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, or (c) causes the Escrow Agent to remove such objection as an exception to coverage under the Title Policy. 4.1.5 Purchaser’s consummation of Closing shall constitute Purchaser’s express acceptance and approval of matters affecting title and survey of the Property as of the Closing Date. 4.2 Permitted Exceptions. -6- GENBUS/718957.4
