If Buyer does not receive complete and legible copies of all exceptions and encumbrances noted in the Preliminary Commitment within ten (10) days after mutual execution and delivery of this Agreement, then Seller shall cooperate with Buyer and assist Buyer in obtaining such copies from the Title Company as soon as possible.
If Buyer timely objects to any Exceptions, then Seller shall advise Buyer in writing within ten (10) days after receipt of Buyer’s written objections: (a) which Exceptions Seller will remove at Closing, (b) which Exceptions the Title Company has agreed to remove from the title policy to be issued at Closing, and (c) which Exceptions will not be removed by Seller or Title Company. If Seller does not otherwise give an adequate, complete, timely, and written notice to Buyer regarding any Exception to which Seller has timely objected, then Seller shall be deemed to have given notice Buyer that such Exception will not be removed by Seller or Title Company prior to Closing
Within twenty (20) days after Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s written objections, if Seller has not agreed to remove all Exceptions to which Buyer objects, Buyer shall notify Seller in writing of Buyer’s election to either: (a) terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer, or (b) waive its objections to the Exceptions that Seller will not remove or cause Title Company to insure around, in which event such Exceptions shall be deemed accepted by Buyer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cause, at Seller’s sole expense, all mortgages, deeds of trust, and other monetary liens except non-delinquent assessment liens (e.g., liens for local improvement district assessments), including liens for delinquent taxes, mechanics, materialman’s or service provider liens, and judgment liens, to be fully satisfied, released, and discharged of record on or prior to the Closing Date without necessity of Buyer’s objection.

At Closing, Seller shall cause Title Company to deliver to Buyer an ALTA Extended Owner’s Policy of title insurance (or, at Buyer’s option, a binder therefor) issued by Title Company in the amount of the Purchase Price, dated the Closing Date, insuring Buyer’s title subject to no exceptions other than the general exceptions and the Permitted Exceptions (the “Title Policy”). The Title Policy may be for an ALTA Standard Owner’s Policy of title insurance as to those portions of the Real Property for which Title Company will not issue an ALTA Extended Owner’s Policy for lack of an ALTA survey prior to Closing, subject to Buyer’s approval during the Title and Survey Review Period.

It is also understood that information contained in the Disclosures, as defined in Section 11.1 below, is not imputed to Xx. XxXxxxx or Xx. Xxxxxxx except as and to the extent either of them has actual knowledge of such information.
2059 Buyer’s Representations. Buyer represents and warrants to Seller as of the Closing Date as follows:
(a) Status. Buyer is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of California.
(b) Authority. This Agreement and all documents to be executed by Buyer at Closing have been or will be duly authorized, executed, and delivered by Buyer and are binding on and enforceable against Buyer in accordance with their terms.
ARTICLE IX. EMPLOYEES
Schedule 8.1.1(k) sets forth a list of all employees of Seller regularly engaged in the management, operation, and construction activities of Seller relating to the Property (“Employees”). Buyer shall not assume any obligations of Seller (whether based upon contract or implied by law or otherwise) relating to the Employees, and Buyer shall have no obligation to hire any of the Employees upon Closing; provided, that Buyer shall have the right, after expiration of the Inspection Period, to solicit applications for employment from the Employees (or any of them), it being understood that all terms and conditions of employment offered by Buyer shall be in Buyer’s sole discretion. During the Inspection Period, Buyer will designate the Employees with whom Buyer would like to discuss employment. Buyer shall not communicate with any Employees except Xxxx XxXxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, and Xxx Xxxx regarding their employment with Buyer or Seller without the prior written consent of Seller. After expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to further Buyer’s efforts to enter into employment agreements with the Employees.
Buyer has no obligation under this Agreement to provide benefits to any or all Employees it hires. However, if Buyer provides benefits to Employees, then Buyer shall take the following actions in order to preserve Employee benefits to the extent possible after Closing, if and to the greatest extent allowed by the various plan and benefit providers, and only if such actions cause no additional expense to Buyer not compensated by Seller at Closing: (a) If Buyer offers Employees it hires a group health plan, then it will waive all pre-existing condition limitations and waiting periods for coverage, and Buyer’s health plan will credit all payments made by the Employees it hires towards deductible, co-payment, and out-of-pocket limits under Seller’s health care plans for the plan year that includes the Closing Date; and (b) If Buyer offers Employees it hires a qualified retirement plan, then it will give each such Employee credit for his or her past service with Seller as of the Closing Date for purposes of eligibility and vesting, but not for benefit accrual purposes, and will allow Employees to roll over distributions from Seller’s 401(k) plan to Buyer’s retirement plan. Seller shall remain responsible for any pre-Closing employee benefits, bonus plans, termination plans, and any other employee benefit plan applicable to the Employees, and also for any benefits or payments due to any Employee (whether under or by reason of any statute or regulation, contractual obligation of Seller, or any plan maintained by Seller) as a result of such Employee’s termination in conjunction with the sale of the Property. Seller shall be responsible to provide any required WARN Act notices and any required COBRA coverage under Seller’s health plans.
ARTICLE X. CASUALTY AND CONDEMNATION
In the event that all or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed by any material casualty or is the subject of a material condemnation action under the provisions of eminent domain law after the making of this Agreement but prior to the Closing Date, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and the Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer. If the casualty or condemnation is not material or Buyer does not elect to terminate this Agreement, then Seller shall have no obligation to repair or replace any damage or destruction caused by the foregoing, but the following shall apply at the Closing: (a) in the event of a casualty, Buyer shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price at Closing for the reasonably estimated remaining cost to restore the Property to its condition immediately prior to such casualty (it being understood that the proceeds of any casualty insurance shall be and remain payable to Seller); and (b) in the event of condemnation, Seller shall assign to Buyer its rights to any resulting condemnation proceeds and shall not make any settlements without Buyer’s prior written approval. For purposes of this section, “material” means a loss or liability in excess of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars (US$500,000.00).
ARTICLE XI. DISCLOSURE, INDEMNITY, AND RELEASE RELATING TO CONDITION OF PROPERTY
2060 Disclosures. Buyer acknowledges that Seller has disclosed to Buyer the condition of the Property by providing to Buyer the following documents and information (collectively, the “Disclosures”): the schedules hereto, the Preliminary Commitment, Seller’s Documents, the right to interview Seller’s consultants and employees, and the right to enter upon, inspect, study, survey, and conduct tests upon the Property, all prior to the time when Buyer was irrevocably committed to complete the purchase of the Property under this Agreement. Buyer further acknowledges that Buyer has acquired information regarding the condition of the Property from the inspections, studies, surveys and tests upon the Property conducted by Buyer and its agents, contractors, consultants, and employees.
Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Disclosures disclose material defects in the condition of the Property and that Seller makes no covenant, representation, or warranty as to the suitability of the Property for any purpose or as to the condition of the Property except as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement. Buyer hereby waives all objections and complaints regarding the condition of the Property, including without limitation objections and complaints relating to surface and subsurface conditions, except as provided in any covenant, agreement, representation, or warranty in this Agreement. Buyer agrees that it is purchasing the Property in its present condition, AS IS, subject only to the covenants, agreements, representations, and warranties provided by Seller in this Agreement; provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a waiver or release of any claims or rights that Buyer may have against any third party, including without limitation any prior owner of any portion of the Property. Buyer assumes the risk that adverse conditions may not have been revealed by its own investigation or by the Disclosures (but without limiting Seller’s covenants, agreements, warranties and representations in this Agreement). Except for and with respect to Seller’s obligations, warranties and representations in this Agreement, Buyer hereby waives, releases, acquits, and forever discharges Seller of and from any and all claims, actions, demands, rights, damages, costs of response or remedial action, or expenses whatsoever, direct or indirect, known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, including claims of third parties, that now exist or that may arise in the future on account of or in connection with the condition of the Property, including without limitation any surface or subsurface contamination, but excluding claims for statutory or contractual right of contribution under any state or federal hazardous substance law or regulation.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER MAKES NO COVENANTS, REPRESENTATIONS, OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO: (I) THE CONDITION OF THE REAL OR PERSONAL PROPERTY OR ANY BUILDINGS, STRUCTURES, OR IMPROVEMENTS ON THE REAL PROPERTY OR THE SUITABILITY OF THE REAL PROPERTY FOR HABITATION OR FOR BUYER’S INTENDED USE OR FOR ANY USE WHATSOEVER; (II) ANY APPLICABLE BUILDING, ZONING, OR FIRE LAWS OR REGULATIONS, OR WITH RESPECT TO COMPLIANCE THEREWITH, OR WITH RESPECT TO THE EXISTENCE OF OR COMPLIANCE WITH ANY REQUIRED PERMITS, IF ANY, OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY; (III) THE AVAILABILITY OR EXISTENCE OF ANY WATER, SEWER, OR OTHER UTILITIES OR UTILITY RIGHTS; (IV) THE EXISTENCE OF ANY WATER, SEWER OR OTHER UTILITY DISTRICT; OR (V) THE PRESENCE OF ANY HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES; (VI) THE PRESENCE OF ANY UNDERGROUND STORAGE TANKS OR ASBESTOS; OR (VII) COMPLIANCE OF THE PROPERTY WITH THE TERMS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT.
BUYER WAIVES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST SELLER, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, WITH RESPECT TO THE PROPERTY (BUT EXCLUDING CLAIMS FOR CONTRIBUTION THAT BUYER MIGHT HAVE AGAINST SELLER UNDER FEDERAL OR STATE ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS AND STATUTES), AND BUYER ASSUMES THE RISK OF ALL DEFECTS AND CONDITIONS, INCLUDING SUCH DEFECTS AND CONDITIONS, IF ANY, THAT CANNOT BE OBSERVED BY CASUAL INSPECTION; PROVIDING, THAT NOTHING HEREIN LIMITS OR IMPAIRS SELLER’S COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES HEREIN. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE PROPERTY AND, EXCEPT FOR THE COVENANTS, AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER HEREIN, IS RELYING ENTIRELY THEREON, ON ANY CONSULTANTS THAT BUYER RETAINS, AND ON THE DISCLOSURES.
2061 Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities.
11.2.1 Seller shall defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property (collectively, “Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities”) that arise from or relate to a liability or loss arising after the Closing Date from the following matters: (i) breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Seller made herein; (ii) any warranty claims (actual or alleged), defects (actual or alleged) or by any other claim or matter arising from the construction or sale of homes, town homes, or condominium units on or before the Closing Date; (iii) any violation of the rights of any employee or agent of Seller that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date or in conjunction with the termination of employment in connection with this transaction; or (iv) any actual or alleged breach of lease or contract or any mechanics’ lien, or any claim, demand or action for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from or in connection with any activity on, upon, or about any portion of the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date, and including without limitation all matters listed on Schedule 8.1.1(b)-1; provided, that Seller shall not be obligated to indemnify Buyer (under clause (iv)) from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense to the extent arising from Buyer’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement (including breach of any representation or warranty of Buyer). For purposes of this Section 11.2.1, it is understood that a warranty or representation has been “breached” if such warranty or representation was inaccurate or untrue in any material respect when made. Without limiting the generality of Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities set forth above, Seller shall retain all liabilities and obligations relating to those matters of pending and threatened litigation described in Schedule 8.1.1(b)-1, shall continue to defend those matters at its own expense and using its own counsel, and Buyer shall communicate and cooperate with Seller regarding such matters, but at no expense to Buyer.
11.2.2 Seller shall also defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property that arise from or relate to (i) the remediation (including without limitation monitoring) or cleanup of any Hazardous Substances Problem (as defined below) resulting from the use, storage, handling, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date (provided that such Hazardous Substance Problem was not disclosed to Buyer in the reports and studies listed on Schedule 8.1.1(i) or otherwise in writing prior to expiration of the Inspection Period); or (ii) any claim, demand or action made or commenced by a third party (including without limitation any governmental agency) against Buyer resulting from the use, storage, handling, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred on or before the Closing Date. Seller's obligations set forth above shall be deemed part of Seller's Indemnification Liabilities for purposes of this Agreement.
As used in this Section 11.2.2, a "Hazardous Substances Problem" means the presence of Hazardous Substances on any part of the Property that were used, stored, handled, disposed of or released in violation of any law or regulation or so as to require remediation (including monitoring) or cleanup under any law or regulation, whether or not any claim, demand or action has been made or commenced against Buyer by any third party. For purposes of clause (i) in the above paragraph, a Hazardous Substances Problem will have been "disclosed" to Buyer if there was disclosed (in the reports and studies listed in Schedule 8.1.1(i) or otherwise in writing to Buyer during the Inspection Period) reasonably specific information about such Problem. By way of example, if the presence of an underground tank in a reasonably specific location had been disclosed to Buyer, then clause (i) of the above paragraph would not impose on Seller any liability to remove such tank; but if is discovered that the tank were leaking, and the leak had not been disclosed, then clause (i) would impose liability to remediate the leak (which might include removing the tank). By way of further example, disclosure of the mere fact that certain industrial activities had occurred on a portion of the Property, or that certain chemicals had been used on the Property, would not constitute disclosure of the need for remediation or cleanup resulting from such activity or use.
2062 Limitations on Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities. Certain of Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities shall be limited as described in this subsection. Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities under Section 11.2.1(i) above (as to breach of any representation or warranty made herein, and as to breach of any agreement or covenant to be performed by Seller at or before Closing) shall apply and be enforced only to the extent that the aggregate liability or loss to Buyer exceeds Fifty Thousand Dollars (US$50,000.00) and is asserted against or incurred by Buyer within two (2) year after the Closing Date. Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities under Sections 11.2.1(iii) and 11.2.1(iv) above shall apply and be enforced only to the extent that the liability or loss to Buyer is asserted against or incurred by Buyer within four (4) years after the Closing Date.
Seller's Indemnification Liabilities under Section 11.2.2, as they apply to all claims made by Buyer directly against Seller under clause (i) (in the first paragraph of such Section 11.2.2), shall apply and be enforceable only as to Hazardous Substances Problems that have been identified to Seller by Buyer and as to which Buyer has commenced litigation against Seller relating to such Problems (if Seller has not previously accepted responsibility therefor) within eight (8) years after the Closing Date. As Seller's Indemnification Liabilities under Section 11.2.2 apply to claims, demands or actions made or commenced by a third party against Buyer (and are thus covered by clause (ii) in the first paragraph of such Section 11.2.2), such Seller's Indemnification Liabilities shall apply and be enforceable without limit as to claims, demands or actions that are made or commenced against Buyer within eight (8) years after the Closing Date and as to which Buyer has commenced litigation against Seller to enforce Seller's Indemnification Liabilities hereunder (if Seller has not previously accepted responsibility therefor) within such eight-year period after the Closing Date; but as to claims, demands or actions first made or commenced by a third party against Buyer more than eight (8) years after the Closing Date, Seller's Indemnification Liabilities shall not exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in the aggregate.
With respect to Seller's Indemnification Liabilities described in Section 11.2.1, it shall be a further condition to Seller's obligation to indemnify and defend as to a particular loss or liability that Buyer shall have commenced litigation against Seller to enforce Seller's Indemnification Liabilities as to such loss or liability within the applicable time period (if any) described above (if Seller has not previously accepted responsibility therefor), except that with respect to any loss or liability resulting from an action or proceeding commenced by a third party against Buyer within the applicable limitation period (if any), Buyer shall not be required to have commenced litigation against Seller within the applicable limitation period in order to have Seller's Indemnification Liabilities apply to such loss or liability.
2063 Buyer’s Indemnification Liabilities and Release. Buyer shall defend, indemnify, and hold Seller, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property (collectively, “Buyer’s Indemnification Liabilities”) that arise from or relate to a liability or loss arising after the Closing Date from the following matters: (i) breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty of Buyer made herein; (ii) any claim, demand or action made or commenced by a third party (including without limitation any government agency) against Seller resulting from the use, storage, handling, disposal or release of Hazardous Substances on or about the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Closing Date; (iii) any warranty claims (actual or alleged), defects (actual or alleged) or by any other claim or matter arising from the construction or sale of homes, town homes, or condominium units after the Closing Date; (iv) any violation of the rights of any employee or agent of Buyer that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Closing Date; or (v) any actual or alleged breach of lease or contract or any mechanics’ lien, or any claim, demand or action for personal injury, death or property damage resulting from or in connection with any activity on, upon, or about any portion of the Property that occurred or is alleged to have occurred after the Closing Date, provided, that Buyer shall not be obligated to indemnify Seller under clause (v) from and against any loss, liability, damage, cost or expense to the extent arising from Seller’s negligence, willful misconduct or breach of this Agreement (including breach of any representation or warranty of Seller). For purposes of this Section 11.4, it is understood that a warranty or representation has been “breached” if such warranty or representation was inaccurate or untrue in any material respect when made.
Buyer hereby waives, releases, acquits, and forever discharges Seller, its affiliates, directors, employees, officers, partners, and subsidiaries, of and from all claims, demands, damages, losses, liens, liabilities, fines, penalties, monitoring costs, response costs, and any other costs and expenses (including attorney's fees and costs and fees of consultants) relating to the Property that are incurred by Buyer after the Closing Date except as to (a) costs, expenses, and liabilities of Buyer for which Seller is obligated to defend, indemnify, and hold Buyer harmless under Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities, including without limitation Seller’s direct liability to Buyer for breach of any warranty or representation in this Agreement or for breach of any covenant or agreement to be performed by Seller at or before Closing, subject to the limitations set forth at Section 11.3, and (b) any obligation of Seller described within this Agreement that by its express terms is to be performed after or to extend beyond the Closing Date, including without limitation Seller’s Post-Closing Community Obligations under Article XIV, the obligations of Seller arising under Seller’s Closing documents described at Section 7.2, Seller’s obligation to provide the Title Policy under Section 7.4, Seller’s obligations under Section 6.5, Seller’s obligations regarding post-Closing adjustments of pro-rations and costs, and Seller’s obligations under Section 16.16. Buyer’s release under this paragraph shall not take effect as to any matter that is the subject of pending litigation between Buyer and Seller as of the date of expiration of the applicable Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities until dismissal, final judgment, or other resolution of such litigation. For example, if as of the date two (2) years after the Closing Date Buyer and Seller are engaged in litigation regarding a claim by Buyer that Seller has breached a warranty under this Agreement, then Buyer’s release of Seller for the breach of warranty alleged by Buyer in such litigation shall not take effect until dismissal, final judgment, or other resolution of such litigation.
Except for Seller’s Indemnification Liabilities, Seller’s Post-Closing Community Obligations under Article XIV, the express obligations of Seller under Seller’s Closing documents described at Section 7.2, Seller’s obligation to provide the Title Policy under Section 7.4, Seller’s obligations under Section 6.5, Seller’s obligations regarding post-Closing adjustments of pro-rations and costs, Seller’s obligations under Section 16.16, and as otherwise provided above, Seller shall have no liabilities or obligations to Buyer after Closing under this Agreement.
2064 Survival. The terms and conditions of this Article XI shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement and shall benefit and bind the successors and assigns of Buyer and Seller.
Possession of the Property shall be delivered to Buyer on the Closing Date subject to the rights of tenants under the Tenant Leases and other Permitted Exceptions.
ARTICLE XIII. DOCUMENT RETENTION
Buyer shall preserve and retain all documents provided by Seller to Buyer, including without limitation all copies and originals of Seller’s Documents, at a secure administrative office or storage facility within Jefferson County, Kitsap County, or King County, Washington, for a period not less than ten (10) years after the Closing Date (the “Document Retention Period”). During the Document Retention Period, upon the prior written request of Seller, Buyer shall allow Seller to inspect and copy any and all of Seller’s Documents at the office or storage facility during normal weekday business hours. All copies shall be made at Seller’s expense.
ARTICLE XIV. OBLIGATIONS TO PORT LUDLOW COMMUNITY
Buyer acknowledges that Seller has made certain oral and other commitments to the Port Ludlow community, some or all of which may be legally unenforceable, but all of which are moral obligations that Buyer and Seller desire and intend to perform after the Closing Date. These commitments are described on Schedule 14(a) (“Seller’s Post-Closing Community Obligations”) and Schedule 14(b) (“Buyer’s Post-Closing Community Obligations”). Within a reasonable period of time after the Closing Date, Seller shall perform or cause to be performed at its sole expense each of Seller’s Post-Closing Community Obligations, and Buyer shall perform or cause to be performed at its sole expense each of Buyer ‘s Post-Closing Community Obligations. The parties shall communicate and cooperate with each other to ensure that their performance of their respective Post-Closing Community Obligations is beneficial and causes no presently unforeseeable inconvenience or harm to the other party hereto.

Seller, if such claim is based upon any agreement alleged to have been made by Seller, hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer against any and all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) that Buyer may sustain or incur by reason of such claim.

2070 Amendment, Waiver. No modification, termination or amendment of this Agreement may be made except by written agreement.

Either Buyer or Seller may elect to close this transaction as a part of a tax-deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, in which case the other party will sign all documents necessary for such exchange and otherwise cooperate therewith, provided only that the other party will not be required to incur any additional expense or liability or acquire title to any property except as provided otherwise in this Agreement.

Buyer shall conduct all due diligence consistent with this section. The obligations of Buyer under this section supplement and do not replace the obligations of Buyer under that certain Confidentiality Agreement dated February 8, 2000.
2082 Continuing Forest Land Obligations. Buyer acknowledges that portions of the Real Property are subject to certain continuing forest land obligations applicable under the forest practices rules adopted pursuant to RCW 76.09.370 (the “Continuing Obligations”).

At Closing, Seller shall send the executed notice to DNR in accordance with the requirements of RCW 76.09.390. As of Closing, Buyer assumes and agrees to perform the Continuing Obligations at Buyer’s sole cost and expense in a timely fashion, and to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against the Continuing Obligations and any claim, loss, damage, cost or expense resulting from Buyer’s failure to fulfill and perform the same. The provisions of this indemnity shall survive the Closing of this Agreement.
2083 Cooperation. The parties acknowledge that Seller has disclosed in the schedules to this Agreement various potential issues and disputes relating to boundary lines affecting the Real Property. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer to resolve such issues and disputes after Closing, and in connection with any minor boundary line adjustments between the Real Property and Sellers’ adjoining lands reasonably requested by Buyer from time to time (whether before or after Closing). In addition, Buyer and Seller agree that at any time or from time to time after the execution of this Agreement, whether before or after Closing, they will execute and deliver such further documents and undertake such other actions as the other party may reasonably request in order to effect fully the purposes of this Agreement.
