diligence at the time the Project was acquired. At such time as Developer
becomes aware of any such unusual site conditions, Developer shall promptly
notify Owner of the same and of the amount by which the estimated cost to
correct said site conditions shall exceed such allowance. Developer will
endeavor to obtain the lowest possible cost in remedying such unusual site
