The term “Mandatory Title Removal Item” as used herein shall mean, other than Permitted Exceptions: (i) any lien and other encumbrance that any Seller has knowingly and intentionally placed (or allowed to be placed) on the Property (other than with the prior written approval of Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion except such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld with respect to requests for instruments to be recorded for the benefit of any utility), except for the liens securing the Existing Mortgage Financing; (ii) except for the liens securing the Existing Mortgage Financing, mortgages, deeds of trust, security instruments, financing statements, or other instruments which evidence or secure indebtedness, judgments, and liens against the Property, including, without limitation, mechanics’ liens, tax liens, and real estate taxes, water rates, sewer rents, and taxes, in each case, which are due and payable but which remain unpaid and/or of record as of the Closing Date (subclauses (i) and (ii), collectively, the “Voluntary Liens”); and (iii) any Title Objections which would not constitute Voluntary Liens, but which can be removed by the payment of a liquidated sum of money (items set forth in this subclause (iii), collectively, “Monetary Liens”). Seller shall be obligated to take any such action as is required on the part of Seller to have Monetary Liens removed from the Title Report by the Title Companies, provided, however, that Seller shall have no obligation to pay, discharge, or remove of record Monetary Liens, in the aggregate, in an amount greater than TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS ($10,000.00) (the “Lien Removal Limitation”). If Seller fail to discharge and remove of record any Mandatory Title Removal Items on or prior to the Closing Date, at Purchaser’s election, such failure shall constitute a failure of a closing condition pursuant to Section 11.03 and Purchaser shall be entitled to such remedies as are set forth in Article 14; provided, however, Seller’s failure or refusal to pay or incur any amounts greater than the Lien Removal Limitation to cure or remove any Mandatory Title Removal Items shall not be considered a default or breach of this Agreement by Seller.
