The Seller and Buyer have agreed that the Seller has retained an environmental consultant to evaluate the potential hazardous substances located in the area of the Dip Vat located upon the Vintage Oaks Property (“Specified Area”). On or before December 31, 2011, the Seller shall advise the Buyer in writing of the results of its environmental study regarding the hazardous substances located in the Specified Area (“Updated Report”), the proposed remediation methodology that the Seller would suggest to be utilized to remediate the hazardous substances located in the Specified Area in a manner consistent with Hazardous Waste Laws, and the rules of the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality and such other government agency with jurisdiction over the hazardous waste located in the Specified Area (“Environmental Agency”), together with its estimate of the costs of such remediation (“Seller Remediation Proposal”) and either:
(i) Seller shall provide Buyer with written agreement that at Closing it will escrow with Escrow Agent the amount set forth in the Seller Remediation Proposal (“Escrow Amount”) and either before or after Closing (at Seller’s option), the Seller will proceed to remediate the hazardous substances located in the Specified Area in accordance with the Seller Remediation Proposal (“Seller Agreement to Remediate”). To the extent that the Seller provides such written Seller Agreement to Remediate, then after Closing (to the extent Seller has not commenced such work prior to Closing), the Seller shall promptly commence and proceed with reasonable diligence to remediate such contamination after Closing consistent with such Seller Remediation Proposal in order to obtain a no further action letter from any applicable Environmental Agency or similar acknowledgment that the Specified Work has been performed in accordance with Hazardous Waste Laws (“No Further Action Notice’).
(v) The Escrow Agent will reimburse the Seller from time to time (for expenses set forth in the Seller Remediation Proposal whether incurred prior to or after Closing) out of such Escrow Amount for the cost of such remediation upon presentation of reasonable documentation evidencing the costs incurred by Seller to perform the work consistent with Seller Remediation Proposal (“Specified Work”).

In the event the cost of the Specified Work exceeds the Escrow Amount, the Seller shall be responsible to pay any such excess amount over the Escrow Amount.
(x) To the extent the Seller provides the written Seller Remediation Proposal and Seller obtains the No Further Action Notice on or before Closing, then the Seller shall not be required to deliver the Escrow Amount at Closing.

(z) Seller shall obtain the No Further Action Notice no later than eighteen (18) months from the Closing (“Remediation Deadline”). Should Seller fail to obtain the No Further Action Notice prior to the expiration of the Remediation Deadline, Buyer shall be entitled to elect to either (i) pursue a claim for specific performance against Seller, or (ii) perform the remediation and advance the cost thereof for the account of Seller in which event Seller shall be obligated to reimburse Buyer for the expense of the remediation performed by Buyer.
(ii) In the event the Seller does not provide the Seller Agreement to Remediate, then the parties agree:
(v) At Closing, the Specified Area as set forth in the Updated Report shall be excluded from the term Property, (ii) the Purchase Price to be paid at Closing shall be reduced by the “Specified Area Price” (as hereinafter defined). The “Specified Area Price” shall be: (i) One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) if the Specified Area is three (3) acres or less; (ii) One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($150,000) if the Specified Area is between three (3) acres and six (6) acres; and (iii) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) if the Specified Area is more than six (6) acres.
(w) The portion of the Deposit equal to ten percent (10%) of the Specified Area Price shall remain in escrow (“Specified Area Deposit”) after the Closing as the deposit for the purchase of the Specified Area. If Buyer defaults in the purchase of the Specified Area, the Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement for the sale of the Specified Property and obtain the Specified Area Deposit or xxx for specific performance.

(y) The Buyer shall be required to purchase the Specified Area from Seller for the Specified Area Price on a date (“Specified Closing Date”) which is ten (10) business days after a No Further Action Notice has been issued. The provisions of this Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to the Specified Area as a contract of the Buyer to buy the Specified Area and the Seller to sell the Specified Area in accordance with this Agreement on the Specified Area Closing Date.
(z) At Closing of the balance of the Property, the Buyer shall grant to Seller the Easement and Buyer shall cooperate and assist Seller (at no material cost to Buyer) as reasonably requested by Seller in connection with Seller performing the Specified Work.
