In the event that the condition of title is not acceptable, Buyer shall state which exceptions to the Title Commitment are not acceptable and Seller shall undertake to eliminate the exceptions to which Buyer has objected, provided, however, that at Closing, mortgages or other monetary encumbrances ("Monetary Liens") may be satisfied or the liens thereof partially released, as the case may be, as to the Property from Seller's proceeds at Closing and Buyer's failure to specifically object to any such Monetary Lien shall not constitute an acceptance or waiver thereof. Seller shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly undertake and use reasonable efforts to eliminate or modify all unacceptable matters to the reasonable satisfaction of Buyer. In the event Seller is unable with the exercise of due diligence to satisfy said objections within thirty (30) days after said notice, Buyer may, at its option: (i) accept title subject to the objections raised by Buyer, without an adjustment in the Purchase Price, in which event said objections shall be deemed to be waived for all purposes; or (ii) rescind this Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect. Seller shall execute any and all undertakings or documents required to obtain endorsements from the Title Company providing gap coverage, all at Seller's sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding any of the provisions of this Section 2.01 to the contrary, if Buyer fails to notify Seller of the condition of title as set forth in the Title Commitment and Survey is or is not acceptable, within the time period set out herein, the parties hereby agree that the condition of title shall be deemed acceptable and all items shown shall be deemed additional "Permitted Exceptions". 2.2 Survey.
