Investigation Period The first sentence of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby substituted in lieu thereof: “During the time period commencing upon the Effective Date of this Agreement, and terminating at 11:59 p.m. on October 18, 2012 (the “Investigation Period”), Buyer shall have the right to conduct and complete an investigation of all matters pertaining to the Property and Buyer’s purchase thereof including, without limitation, the matters described in this Section 4.1.”
Environmental Investigation (a) Acquiror may, in its discretion, within thirty (30) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, require the Company to order, at Acquiror’s expense, a Phase I environmental site assessment to be delivered only to Acquiror for each parcel of real property in which the Company or an Acquired Subsidiary holds an interest or formerly held an interest (each a “Phase I Report”), conducted by an independent professional consultant reasonably acceptable to Acquiror to determine if any real property in which the Company or any Acquired Subsidiary holds any interest or formerly held an interest contains or gives evidence of any adverse environmental condition or any violations of Environmental Laws on any such property. If a Phase I Report discloses any violations or adverse environmental conditions, or reports a reasonable suspicion thereof, then Acquiror may promptly obtain, at the expense of the Company and Acquiror, shared equally, a Phase II environmental report with respect to any affected property which report shall contain an estimate of the cost of any remediation or other follow-up work that may be necessary to address those violations or conditions in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (each a “Phase II Report,” and collectively referred to with the associated Phase I Report, an “Environmental Report”). Acquiror shall have no duty to act upon any information produced by an Environmental Report for the benefit of the Company, any Acquired Subsidiary or any other Person, but shall provide such information to the Company upon the Company’s request.
Due Diligence Investigation Pubco shall be reasonably satisfied with the results of its due diligence investigation of the Company in its sole and absolute discretion.
