If Buyer delivers an Objection Notice regarding a title exception and Seller, by delivery of written notice to Buyer within five (5) business days following receipt of the Objection Notice elects not to remove a material Disapproved Exception (Seller's failure to respond to a Buyer Objection Notice shall be deemed such an election), Buyer's sole remedies shall be with respect to the delivery of a Notice of Approval or delivery or deemed delivery of a Notice of Termination. 3.6 Title Insurance. Seller shall cause the Title Company to commit to issue to Buyer at the Close of Escrow a standard coverage ALTA Owner's policy of title insurance with mechanics lien endorsement (Seller shall provide, any indemnity or other agreement required by the Title Company as a condition to the issuance of the mechanics lien endorsement) ("Title Policy") insuring fee title to the Property vested in Buyer subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, with coverage in an amount equal to the Purchase Price. If Buyer requires an extended coverage ALTA Owners policy of title insurance, Buyer shall pay the difference in cost between the standard and extended coverage and the cost of any endorsements (other than a mechanics lien endorsement issued in connection with the standard coverage Title Policy which shall be at the cost of Seller) ("Buyer Title Costs"). Seller shall only be responsible for that portion of the cost of the Title Policy equal to the cost of a standard coverage title policy ("Seller Title Costs"). 3.7 Possession.
