Reinspection Prior to Each Phase’s Closing Sample Clauses

Reinspection Prior to Each Phase’s Closing. No later than sixty (60) days prior to any specific Closing Date for a Phase, Buyer shall have the opportunity to reinspect the Land comprising the applicable Phase for the following limited purposes: (a) review the endorsement to the title commitment referenced in Subsection 6.3; (b) update any environmental assessments obtained during the Inspection Period showing that there has been no adverse change in such assessment as to the unsold Phase(s); (c) determine that there have been no changes in uses of the Land by Seller or any easement holder that could adversely affect Buyer’s Project. Within any Reinspection Period, if Buyer, acting reasonably, determines that the matters referenced in (b) or (c) above have adversely changed since the Closing of the prior Phase(s), and such change will impair the further development of Buyer’s Project on the Land comprising the unsold Phases, and written evidence is provided to Seller, Buyer may terminate this Agreement as to its obligations with respect to future Phases (including but not limited to its obligation to purchase such Phases) and be entitled to the return of the Deposit; provided, however, if Seller so desires, the effectiveness of the termination and the closing date shall be delayed for up to thirty (30) days to allow Seller to review the evidence provided by Buyer. If Seller and its consultants disagree with Buyer’s determination hereunder, and Buyer and Seller cannot agree on a settlement of such dispute within the aforesaid 30-day period, the dispute shall be resolved by Stantec. If Stantec is unable to review and make a determination about the issue within thirty (30) days, or is unwilling to serve, the Seller and Buyer shall agree expeditiously on another consulting engineering firm to resolve the dispute. The Seller and Buyer shall share equally the expense of such review. Closing for such Phase shall be extended further for a period of time equal to such review period. In the event Seller agrees with Buyer’s determination hereunder, this Agreement shall be terminated and the Parties shall thereupon be released of further obligations under this Agreement, except those that specifically survive termination, and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer.
