Buyer shall be allowed until the expiration of the Review Period for examination of the commitment and survey and the making of any objections to title and survey thereto, or that an exception to title adversely affects the use of the Property, said objections to be made in writing or deemed waived. Escrowee shall provide Seller with a copy of said title commitment. If any objections thereto are so made by Buyer, the Seller shall be allowed ten (10) days to cure Buyer's objections, or in the alternative to obtain a commitment for insurable title insuring over Buyer's objections. If Seller shall decide to make no efforts to cure such objections, (after execution by Buyer of such documents reasonably requested by Seller to evidence the termination hereof) Buyer's First Payment shall be returned and this agreement shall be null and void and of no further force and effect. Pending correction of title, the payments after the First Payment hereunder required shall be postponed, but upon correction of title and within ten (10) days after written notice of correction to the Buyer, the parties shall perform this agreement according to its terms. If Buyer shall make no written objection to Seller within the Review Period setting forth Buyer's objections to the status of title reflected by the Commitment and/or the Survey, Buyer shall have been deemed to have waived any such objections. 10.
