	7.1.	Buyer Objections.


	7.1.1.	Buyer, at its sole cost and expense, will order a title commitment (“Buyer’s Commitment”) issued by Chicago Title Insurance Company and such survey of the Property as Buyer shall desire (the “Survey”).

Notwithstanding whether such notice is given, Buyer shall have the right to object to any New Encumbrance that is not acceptable to Buyer, by giving written notice of the New Encumbrance to which Buyer is objecting. In the event Buyer gives written notice of objection to any New Encumbrance as herein provided, the provisions of Section*** 7.1* shall apply with respect thereto as if set forth herein in full. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any New Encumbrance is a Monetary Encumbrance, Seller must satisfy the same on or before the Closing in accordance with the provisions of Section*** 7.1*.
