Policy, showing the state of the title to the Property which would appear in an ALTA Owner's Title
Policy, if issued, accompanied by copies of all recorded instruments affecting title to the Property
("Title Exception Documents"). If any aspect of the Title Commitment is objectionable to
Purchaser, in Purchaser's sole discretion, Purchaser shall notify Seller of such fact in writing no
later than the tenth (10th) business day after receipt of the Title Commitment (such 10-day period
being herein called the '

2
EFTA00631998
to Seller within the Title Review Period, Purchaser is deemed to approve the title as shown in the
Title Commitment and the Title Exception Documents. If Purchaser provides timely objections,
Seller shall have ten (10) business days after receipt of Purchaser's notice (the "Title Cure Period")
in which to cure or attempt to cure Purchaser's objections but Seller shall have no obligation to cure
any of Purchaser's objections. If Purchaser provides timely objections pursuant to this Section 3.1
and Seller does not cure all of Purchaser's objections within the Title Cure Period for any reason,
then, within one (I) business day after the last day of the Title Cure Period, Purchaser shall, as its
sole and exclusive remedy, waiving all other remedies, either: (i) terminate this Agreement by
giving a termination notice to Seller, in which case the Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest
Money to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further rights, liabilities, or obligations under this
Agreement (other than those that expressly survive termination); or (ii) waive the uncured
objections by proceeding to Closing and be deemed to approve Seller's title as shown in the
Commitment and the Title Exception Documents. If Seller does not timely receive notice of
Purchaser's election to terminate under clause (i) above, Purchaser is deemed to waive the uncured
objections and to approve title as shown in the Title Commitment and the Title Exception
Documents. All exceptions appearing in the Title Commitment to which Purchaser does not object
or which are deemed waived and accepted by Purchaser as set forth herein are herein referred to as
the "Permitted Exceptions"; provided, however, that as to those exceptions to which Purchaser
does object, if Seller modifies (or agrees to modify) any such exception to Purchaser's satisfaction,
then such exception, as so modified, shall be deemed included in the term "Permitted Exceptions".
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Seller shall cause all mortgages, deeds of trust and
monetary liens (including liens for delinquent taxes, mechanics' liens and judgment liens) affecting
the Property and all indebtedness secured thereby (the "Existing Liens") to be fully satisfied,
released and discharged of record on or prior the Closing Date so that Purchaser shall take title to
the Property free of the same. In no case shall any Existing Lien be a Permitted Exception. The
Virgin Islands Open Shoreline Act, Title 12, Section 401, et. seq. of the Virgin Islands Code

Permitted Execption.
