18. TITLE: At Seller’s expense, Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or Buyer’s attorney within 246

customary time limitations and sufficiently in advance of Closing, as evidence of title in Seller or Grantor, a title 247

commitment for an ALTA title insurance policy in the amount of the Purchase Price with extended coverage by a 248

title company licensed to operate in the State of Illinois, issued on or subsequent to Date of Acceptance, subject 249

only to items listed in Paragraph 16 and shall cause a title policy to be issued with an effective date as of Closing. 250

exceptions or if the Plat of Survey shows any encroachments or other survey matters that are not acceptable to 254

Buyer, then Seller shall have said exceptions, survey matters or encroachments removed, or have the title 255

insurer commit to either insure against loss or damage that may result from such exceptions or survey matters 256

or insure against any court-ordered removal of the encroachments. If Seller fails to have such exceptions waived 257

or insured over prior to Closing, Buyer may elect to take title as it then is with the right to deduct from the Purchase 258

Price prior encumbrances of a definite or ascertainable amount. Seller shall furnish to Buyer at Closing an Affidavit 259

laws of the State of Illinois. The Plat of Survey shall show visible evidence of improvements, rights of way, 266

easements, use and measurements of all parcel lines. The land surveyor shall set monuments or witness corners at 267

all accessible corners of the land. All such corners shall also be visibly staked or flagged. The Plat of Survey shall 268

include the following statement placed near the professional land surveyor’s seal and signature: “This professional 269

service conforms to the current Illinois Minimum Standards for a boundary survey.” A Mortgage Inspection, as 270

defined, is not a boundary survey and is not acceptable. 271

20. DAMAGE TO REAL ESTATE OR CONDEMNATION PRIOR TO CLOSING: If prior to delivery of the deed the Real 272

Estate shall be destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty, or the Real Estate is taken by 273
