4. Conditions Precedent . The obligation of Buyer to purchase, and Seller to sell the Property or any " Designated Portion" (as defined below) as contemplated by this Agreement is subject to satisfaction of each of the following respective conditions precedent (any of which may be waived prior to the applicable closing only in writing and only by the party in whose favor such condition exists) on or before the applicable date specified for satisfaction of the applicable condition.

If Buyer delivers the Go Hard Notice on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved the typed exceptions to title shown on Schedule " B" of the Preliminary Title Report and any items disclosed by any survey (the " Survey" ) reviewed by Buyer prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. Approval by Buyer of any additional exceptions (the " Additional Exceptions" ) to title or survey matters that are first disclosed to Buyer after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period shall be a condition precedent to Buyer' s obligations to purchase the Property. Unless Buyer gives written notice that it disapproves any such Additional Exceptions, stating the exceptions so disapproved, on or before the date (" Applicable Disapproval Date" ) which is ten (10) business days after such Additional Exception is disclosed, Buyer shall be deemed to have approved said Additional Exception. If, for any reason, on or before the applicable Closing Date, Seller does not cause any exceptions to title which Buyer disapproves (to the extent Buyer is permitted hereunder to so disapprove) to be removed at no cost or expense to Buyer (Seller having the right but not the obligation to do so), then a condition to Buyer' s obligation to close shall not have been satisfied and the obligation of Seller to sell, and Buyer to buy, the Property as herein provided shall terminate (and no party hereto shall have any further obligations in connection herewith except under those provisions that expressly survive a termination of this Agreement). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.1.1, Seller shall be obligated to cause the release of any " Seller Encumbrances" (which, as used herein, means any monetary liens created or suffered by Seller, or any lis pendens or judgment liens as a result of Seller' s actions, that encumber the Land and Improvements, other than mechanics liens arising from the failure of Lessee or Buyer to pay its bills). Seller may use the Purchase Price or applicable Installment Purchase Price to effectuate such release concurrently with the applicable Closing.

If, on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, Buyer elects to continue with the purchase of the Property, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a notice expressing its interest to go forward with such purchase (the " Go Hard Notice" ). If Buyer does not deliver the Go Hard Notice to Seller prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Buyer' s obligations under this Agreement (and this Agreement) shall terminate and Escrow Agent shall immediately return the full Escrow Deposit to Buyer. 4.2.1 Indemnity; Review Requirements .
