(a) Buyer shall have thirty (30) days from the Effective Date to complete Buyer’s third party inspection reports (the “Due Diligence Period”). Buyer shall coordinate directly with the Operator of each Facility (with notice to Seller) regarding the scheduling of any third-party inspections. All third party inspections and investigations at each respective Facility shall be conducted by Buyer in such manner so as not to disrupt the operation of such Facility. Buyer may, at its sole cost, obtain third party engineering and physical condition reports and Phase I Environmental Audits covering the Facility, certified to Buyer, prepared by an engineering and/or environmental consultants acceptable to Buyer; provided, no inspection by Buyer’s Consultants shall involve the taking of samples or other physically invasive procedures (such as a Phase II environmental audit) without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Buyer shall indemnify, defend (with counsel acceptable to Seller) and hold Seller and its employees and agents, and each of them, harmless from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities, without limitation, attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith) arising out of or resulting from Buyer’ or Buyer’s Consultant’s exercise of its right of inspection as provided for in this Section 6; provided, however, such indemnification shall not extend to matters merely discovered by Buyer and/or the acts or omissions of Seller or any third party. The indemnification obligation of Buyer under this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely. Following any audit or inspection as provided for herein, Buyer shall return the Real Property and the Facility to the condition in which they existed immediately prior to such audit or inspection.
(b) If the results of the foregoing inspections and audits are not acceptable to Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion, Buyer may, upon notice to Seller given on or before 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period, terminate this Agreement, and in such event, neither party shall have any further rights and obligations under this Agreement, except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. In the event Buyer elects to terminate this Agreement, the Deposit shall be released and retained by the Seller. Failure of Buyer to deliver written notice of approval prior to 5:00 p.m. (Pacific Time) on the last day of the Due Diligence Period shall be deemed to constitute Buyer’s approval of the matters described in this Section 6(a). Upon the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, whether or not Buyer approves, disapproves or is deemed to approve the same, the Deposit shall be released to Seller and shall be deemed non-refundable except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. If this Agreement shall be terminated prior to Closing, upon Seller’s request, Buyer shall promptly return or destroy all copies of the Due Diligence Items.

Any amount held in any escrow account by, or for the benefit of, Seller for real property taxes, insurance, deposits, and/or replacement reserves shall be refunded to Buyer at Closing.
