3.4.2 Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, Purchaser shall not be permitted to perform any invasive tests on any Property without Sellers’ Representative’s prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Sellers’ Representative’s sole discretion. Further, Sellers’ Representative shall have the right, without limitation, to disapprove any and all entries, surveys, tests (including, without limitation, a Phase II environmental study of its Property), investigations and other matters that in such Sellers’ Representative’s reasonable judgment could result in any injury to its Property or breach of any contract, or expose the applicable Seller to any Losses or violation of applicable law, or otherwise adversely affect such Property or such Seller’s interest therein; provided, however, each Seller hereby expressly consents to Purchaser's performance of a Phase I environmental study of the applicable Property (to be conducted by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller's Representative) and an ACM (asbestos containing material) study (to be conducted by an environmental engineer reasonably acceptable to Seller's Representative) in connection therewith, but only to the extent customarily performed in connection with a Phase I environmental study; and, provided, further, however, if the Phase I for any Property concludes that a Phase II is recommended, but the applicable Seller refuses permission for such Phase II (in such Seller's sole and absolute discretion), Purchaser may terminate this Contract pursuant to Section 3.2 prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period. Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to minimize disruption to Tenants in connection with Purchaser’s or its Consultants’ activities pursuant to this Section.

Purchaser hereby agrees to restore, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, each Property substantially to the same condition existing immediately prior to Purchaser’s exercise of its rights pursuant to this Article III. Purchaser shall maintain and cause its third party consultants to maintain (a) casualty insurance and commercial general liability insurance with coverages of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) for injury or death to any one person and Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000.00) for injury or death to more than one person and One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) with respect to property damage, and (b) worker’s compensation insurance for all of their respective employees in accordance with the law of the state(s) or commonwealth(s) in which the Properties are located.
