Acceptance Period At any time during the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period with respect to any Loan Participation Notice, each Founder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to accept the Corporation’s offer for such Founder to make a loan to the Corporation in an amount equal up to such Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Loan, by giving written notice (a “Loan Acceptance Notice”) to the Corporation of such acceptance, including such portion of such Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Loan such Founder desires to loan to the Corporation (the “Founder Share”), which Loan Acceptance Notice, subject to this Section 4.2.2, shall constitute an irrevocable acceptance of such offer unless such Founder revokes such offer in writing prior to the expiration of the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period. Following delivery of the Loan Acceptance Notice by a Founder, such Founder shall be obligated to make the Founder Share of the Proposed Loan indicated in such Loan Participation Notice at the closing of the Proposed Loan in accordance with Section 4.2.3; provided, that, if the loan is not consummated within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Loan Acceptance Period, then such Founder, by written notice to the Corporation may, in such Founder’s sole discretion, terminate such Founder’s obligation to loan the Corporation its Founder Share of the Proposed Loan specified in such in the Loan Acceptance Notice without any liability to such Founder. If a Loan Acceptance Notice with respect to all of a Founder’s Pro Rata Share of the Proposed Loan is not delivered to the Corporation by such Founder within the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period, such Founder shall be deemed to have waived such Founder’s opportunity to make such portion of the Proposed Loan with respect to which the Loan Acceptance Notice was not delivered and the Corporation shall be free to obtain such portion of the Proposed Loan from the Proposed Lender(s) on the terms and conditions set forth in the Loan Participation Notice; provided, however, that any such portion of the Proposed Loan not made within thirty (30) days after the expiration of the Loan Participation Right Acceptance Period shall continue to be subject to the requirements of this Section 4.2.

All information made available by Seller to Purchaser in accordance with this Contract or obtained by Purchaser in the course of its investigations shall be treated as confidential information by Purchaser, and, prior to the purchase of the Property by Purchaser, Purchaser shall use its best efforts to prevent its agents and employees from divulging such information to any third parties except (i) as reasonably necessary to third parties engaged by Purchaser for the limited purpose of analyzing and investigating such information for the purpose of consummating the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including Purchaser's attorneys and representatives, prospective lenders and engineers or (ii) as may required by applicable law, unless such information is generally available to the public or is disclosed by a party other than Purchaser or its agents.
