BUYER’S DUE DILIGENCE A. Investigation. Buyer and Seller have made and entered into this Agreement based on their mutual understanding that Buyer intends to develop the Property into an office and distribution center (the “Buyer’s Use”). Seller acknowledges that Buyer’s determination of whether Buyer’s Use is feasible requires investigation into various matters (Buyer’s “Due Diligence”). Therefore, Buyer’s obligation to complete the purchase of the Property is conditioned upon the satisfactory completion, in Buyer’s discretion, of Buyer’s Due Diligence, including, without limitation, Buyer’s examination, at Buyer’s sole expense, of zoning and land use matters, environmental matters, real property title matters, and the like, as applicable. B. Due Diligence Period. Buyer shall have a period of one hundred twenty (120) days following the Contract Date to complete its examination of the Property in accordance with this Section 4 (the “Due Diligence Period”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may shorten or waive the Due Diligence Period at any time by mutual written agreement, whereupon the Due Diligence Period shall terminate on the date specified in such mutually written agreement. C. Authorizations During Due Diligence Period. During the Due Diligence Period, Seller authorizes Buyer, upon Buyer providing Seller with evidence that Buyer has general liability insurance reasonably acceptable to Seller, in the amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), naming Seller as an additional insured and covering the activities, acts, and omissions of Buyer and its representatives at the Property, to (i) enter upon the Property or to cause agents to enter upon the Property for purposes of examination; provided, that Buyer may not take any action upon the Property which reduces the value thereof and Buyer may not conduct any invasive testing at the Property without Seller’s express prior written consent; further provided, that if the transaction contemplated herein is not consummated, Buyer shall promptly restore the Property to its condition prior to entry, and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless, before and after the Closing Date whether or not a closing occurs and regardless of any cancellations or termination of this
