<br />Acceptance Date, Buyer shall submit to Seller earnest money in the amount of One Hundred
<br />Dollars ($100.00) (the “Earnest Money”). Seller will hold such Earnest Money unless and until

<br />any period of time. The Earnest Money shall be refundable until the expiration or waiver of
<br />Buyer’s Contingency (as defined in Section 4(c) below), at which time the Earnest Money shall

<br />at Closing (as defined below).
<br />3.PROPERTY INFORMATION; CONTRACTS. Within fifteen (15) days of the
<br />Acceptance Date, Seller shall provide Buyer, to the extent not previously provided, and to the
<br />extent in Seller's possession or control, copies of any and all reports, contracts, leases,
<br />guaranties, warranties, and surveys relating to the Property or relevant to a reasonable Buyer's
<br />determination whether to purchase the Property (the “Property Information”). Seller further
<br />agrees to deliver promptly to Buyer copies of any additional Property Information that Seller
<br />obtains prior to Closing. Prior to Closing, Seller shall terminate any and all property
<br />management, maintenance, lawn care, snow plowing and other contracts and agreements
<br />relating to the Property, unless Buyer has consented to the continuation of any such contract or
<br />agreement.
<br />4.INVESTIGATION; BUYER’S CONTINGENCY; INDEMNIFICATION;
<br />INSURANCE.
<br />A.Seller acknowledges that Buyer contemplates acquiring the Property for
<br />Buyer’s intended use of the Property as income-based, single family and multi-family
<br />housing consisting of a minimum eleven (11) total housing units (the “Intended Use”).
<br />From and after the Acceptance Date, and upon Buyer providing Seller with evidence that
<br />Buyer has commercial general liability insurance reasonably acceptable to Seller in the
<br />amount of at least One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) per occurrence, Buyer and its
<br />agents shall have the right, but no obligation, at its sole cost: (i) to enter upon the Property
<br />to conduct the tests, inspections, studies, assessments and investigations contemplated
<br />under this Agreement at any time and from time to time (collectively, “Tests”); and (ii) to
<br />make such Tests of the Property and information with respect to the Property, the Intended
<br />Use and/or this Agreement, all as Buyer may deem desirable, including, without limitation:
<br />[a]any environmental assessment, evaluation or study (including a “Phase I”
<br />environmental site assessment); and [b] topographic, engineering, traffic, parking and
<br />other feasibility studies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer will not conduct any
<br />invasive Tests, including, without limitation, Phase II environmental assessments or soil
<br />borings, without Seller's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
<br />withheld or delayed. Buyer shall conduct all Tests at a time and in a manner as to
<br />reasonably minimize interference with Seller's operation on or about the Property and any
<br />neighboring properties. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its officials,
<br />members, employees, agents, contractors, lessees, licensees, invitees, successors and
<br />assigns harmless from any and all liabilities, claims, damages and expenses (including
<br />attorneys’ fees, court costs, and costs of investigation) arising out of or in connection with
<br />the Tests or the entry on to the Property by Buyer or its agents. From and after the
<br />Acceptance Date, Seller agrees that Seller shall, at the request of Buyer and without cost
<br />to Seller, cooperate with Buyer in connection with any and all private and governmental
<br />approvals, rezoning, land subdivisions and other matters necessary for Buyer's Intended
<br />Use.
