Article IX
DUE DILIGENCE 
9.1    Seller Deliveries.  Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Purchaser copies of the following documents, solely to the extent that such documents exist and are in Seller’s possession, custody or control (collectively, the “Due Diligence Documents”):
(a)    All Phase I environmental reports relating to the Real Property; 
(b)    The existing owner’s title insurance policy relating to the Purchased Assets obtained in connection with Seller’s acquisition of the Real Property; and
(c)    The existing survey relating to the Purchased Assets obtained in connection with Seller’s acquisition of the Real Property. 
Upon the Effective Date, Seller shall make the Books and Records available to Purchaser and Purchaser’s Representatives. Nothing set forth herein shall be construed as creating an obligation of Seller to provide internal documents, including analyses or opinions of the Purchased Assets generated by or for Seller, or correspondence between third parties unaffiliated with Seller, or information, reports, studies, tests, or documents prepared for third parties unaffiliated with Seller, or information that Seller is not authorized to provide, share or deliver because of confidentiality obligations by which Seller is bound.  The delivery of the Due Diligence Documents may be made by email attachments, access to an electronic data room, hard copy, or such other means as the Parties may mutually agree.  Purchaser agrees to keep all of the Due Diligence Documents confidential.  In providing the Due Diligence Documents to Purchaser, Seller makes no representation or warranty, express, written, oral, statutory, or implied, regarding the accuracy or completeness of the Due Diligence Documents, and all such 
16

representations and warranties are hereby expressly excluded and disclaimed, provided that Seller shall provide to Purchaser all of the Due Diligence Documents in Seller’s possession and make available to Purchaser all of the Books and Records.  Purchaser understands that, although Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to locate the Due Diligence Documents and make them available pursuant to this Agreement, Purchaser will not rely on such Due Diligence Documents as being a complete and accurate source of information with respect to the Purchased Assets and will instead in all instances rely exclusively on its own inspections and Seller’s representations and warranties with respect to all matters which it deems relevant to its decision to acquire, own and operate the Purchased Assets.
Article X
EVIDENCE OF TITLE.
10.1    Title Commitment.  Within three (3) Business Days after the Effective Date, as evidence of title, Seller shall order an updated abstract of title with respect to the Purchased Assets  (the “Title Report”).  
10.2    Survey. Purchaser shall have the right to order a new survey of the Purchased Assets (the “Survey”), at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense and shall deliver copies of the Survey to Seller and the Title Company upon receipt.
10.3    Title Objections.  Purchaser shall raise written objections to the Title Report and/or the Survey within fifteen (15) days following Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Report (the “Title Review Period”), as to any matter which renders the title to the Purchased Assets unmarketable (the “Title Objection Notice”), except for matters accepted according to the terms of this Agreement. Seller shall have five (5) Business Days after its receipt of the Title Objection Notice to notify Purchaser (“Seller’s Title Notice”) that Seller has decided to either: (i) remedy the title; or (ii) notify Purchaser that Seller is unable or unwilling to cure any such title defect, provided that if Seller fails to provide the Seller’s Title Notice, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or otherwise resolve Purchaser’s title objections. Purchaser may elect, by written notice to Seller within three (3) Business Days of Purchaser’s receipt of Seller’s Title Notice, to waive such defects and proceed with the Closing subject thereto.  Purchaser’s failure to deliver any written notice shall be a conclusive presumption that Purchaser has approved the Title Report and the Survey and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  If Seller is unable or unwilling to remedy the title objections and Purchaser does not elect to waive such defects, then Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by providing written notice thereof to Seller by no later than the later to occur of (i) three (3) Business Days after receiving Seller’s Title Notice or after Seller is deemed to have elected not to cure any objections or (ii) the last day of the Title Review Period, in which event the Deposit shall be refunded forthwith in full termination of this Agreement. All matters affecting title to the Purchased Assets, including those items identified in the Title Report and/or the Survey not objected to by Purchaser within the time frame specified or which Seller is unwilling or unable to remedy shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.  If Purchaser fails to terminate this Agreement as provided above, then Purchaser shall be required to proceed to closing and take title to the Purchased Assets, subject to the Permitted Exceptions.  After the Title Review Period, Purchaser may, by delivery of written 
17

notice to Seller, object only to other matters of title that (i) first arise, first appear of record, or are first created after the effective date of the Title Report, and (ii) materially and adversely impact the value or use of the Purchased Assets, as determined by Purchaser in the exercise of its reasonable discretion (“Subsequent Objections”).  If Purchaser delivers any Subsequent Objections to Seller, then Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing on or before the date that is two (2) Business Days after the date of delivery to Seller of the Subsequent Objections (or, if such Subsequent Objections are delivered within two (2) days of the Closing Date, on or before 10:00 a.m. (eastern time) on the Closing Date) of Seller’s election to cure or not to cure prior to Closing such Subsequent Objections.  If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Purchaser within two (2) Business Days after Seller’s receipt of the Subsequent Objections, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure or otherwise resolve such Subsequent Objections.  If Seller elects or is deemed to have elected not to cure such Subsequent Objections, then Purchaser shall have until the earlier to occur of (i) three (3) days following the date of Seller’s election or deemed election not to cure such Subsequent Objections, or (ii) 12:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the Closing Date to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser and the Parties shall be released from any further obligations hereunder, except for those which expressly survive termination of this Agreement. 
Article XI
INSPECTION
11.1    Access to Purchaser. Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, Purchaser and its agents shall have a period of thirty (30) days following the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”) to inspect or cause to be inspected all of the physical and economic conditions of the Purchased Assets, access to which shall be granted to Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s agents and representatives, at all reasonable times, provided that Purchaser shall provide Seller with at least twenty-four (24) hours’ prior notice of each on-site inspection at the Purchased Assets.

Purchaser shall not undertake any invasive testing procedures with respect to the Improvements or any portion of the Real Property without Seller’s additional prior written consent.  Seller shall cause its Representatives to cooperate with Purchaser and its representatives in connection with such investigation and examination.  If Purchaser is not satisfied with the results of such inspections, Purchaser may cancel this Agreement for any reason or no reason by providing written notice (in the manner described by Section 19 below) to Seller on or before 5:00 p.m. (EST) on the last day of the Inspection Period and shall thereupon promptly receive a refund of the Deposit and interest accumulated thereon and be relieved of any and all liability hereunder except as to Purchaser’s restoration obligations under this Section and Purchaser’s indemnification obligations as set forth in this Agreement.

Upon Seller’s request, Purchaser shall provide to Seller copies of tests, reports, and studies obtained by Purchaser with respect to the Purchased Assets.  In the event this Agreement is terminated for any reason, Purchaser hereby agrees to promptly return to Seller all the due diligence information Seller provided to Purchaser and (ii) provide Seller with a copy of any third party reports they have obtained in connection with this Agreement if requested by Seller.  The provisions of this Section and Purchaser’s indemnification obligations shall survive the Closing or the termination of this Agreement, as applicable.

Purchaser covenants not to bring any action or suit challenging the amount of liquidated damages provided hereunder in the event of such default.
