6
3.4 If the Phase I reveals that there are “recognized environmental conditions” on the Property, or the Property is not in substantial compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and recommends a Phase II environmental assessment (“Phase II”), then Purchaser shall, at Purchaser’s cost, commission an environmental consultant satisfactory to Purchaser (the “Engineer”) complete a Phase II within thirty (30) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Phase I. Provided that Purchaser has promptly ordered the Phase II, and the provider of such Phase II has not completed it with the thirty (30) days, Purchaser shall have an additional fifteen (15) days to complete the Phase II. Each Seller hereby agrees to allow the Purchaser to undertake any such Phase II investigation on the Property. If the Phase II discloses the existence of Hazardous Substances in violation of applicable Environmental Laws, Purchaser may deliver a notice to each applicable Seller within five (5) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Phase II either (i) terminating the Agreement, and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation to the other, except as otherwise expressly provided herein or (ii) setting forth such matters contained in the Phase II to which it objects (the “Notice of Violations”). If Purchaser elects to send a Notice of Violations, the applicable Seller shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of the Notice of Violations to elect to remediate the violations set forth therein, in which case the parties shall enter into an environmental remediation agreement on terms mutually agreeable to the parties. If the parties are unable to reach a mutually agreeable environmental remediation agreement within thirty (30) days after the applicable Seller’s receipt of the Notice of Violations (assuming such Seller elects to remediate), the Agreement shall automatically terminate, Purchaser shall receive a refund of the Deposits under this Agreement and under the Asset Purchase Agreement), and neither party shall thereafter have any further liability or obligation to the other, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Seller shall have no obligation to remediate unless it so elects. If the applicable Seller elects, by Notice to Purchaser, not to remediate the matters set forth in the Notice of Violation, Purchaser shall have five (5) business days from receipt of such Notice to give Seller its Notice that Purchaser is electing to: (a) accept the Property in “As Is” condition; or (b) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposits (under this Agreement and under the Asset Purchase Agreement), thereby releasing Purchaser and the applicable Seller from all further obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser fails to give Notice of its election within such five (5) business day period, or fails to give a Notice of Defects within five (5) business days of receipt of the Phase II, then Purchaser will be deemed to have approved the environmental condition of the Property and to have elected to proceed to Closing. Purchaser shall have no obligation to indemnify such Seller with respect to the presence of any Hazardous Substances discovered during Purchaser’s environmental inspections of the Property nor shall Purchaser have any obligation to engage in the remediation of the Property with respect to such Hazardous Substances. “Hazardous Substance” shall mean any substance or material defined or designated as hazardous or toxic waste, hazardous or toxic material, a hazardous or toxic substance, or other similar term by any federal, state, or local environmental statute, regulation, or ordinance presently in effect, as such statutes, regulations, and ordinances may be amended from time to time, prior to Closing, and mold, lead-based paint and asbestos.

7
(a) Within ten (10) business days after Purchaser’s receipt of the Title Commitment (the “Objection Date”), Purchaser shall be entitled to object to any exceptions to title disclosed in the Title Commitment or matters affecting title reflected on the Survey (“Exceptions”), in its sole discretion, by a written notice of objections delivered to Sellers. If Purchaser fails to deliver to the applicable Seller a notice of objections on or before the Objection Date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any objection to the Exceptions and thereafter all Exceptions shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). The applicable Seller shall have ten (10) business days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice of objections either to (i) remove the Exceptions, or (ii) provide Purchaser with assurances satisfactory to Purchaser, in its sole discretion, that the Exceptions will be removed or affirmative title insurance protection will be provided before or as of the Closing. If Purchaser waives in writing its objection to any matters described in the notice of objections, such matters shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, and whether or not Purchaser specifically objects, the applicable Seller shall be obligated to remove any Exceptions which can be removed by the payment of money, including but not limited to mortgages, liens, judgments, and fines (“Monetary Exceptions”). At Closing, Purchaser shall pay for any title insurance policies issued by the Title Company.
8
(b) If any endorsement or update issued to the Title Commitment or Survey contains Exceptions other than those in the Title Commitment or Survey, Purchaser shall be entitled to object to any such Exceptions by a written notice of objections to Seller on or before the date ten (10) days following Purchaser’s receipt of such endorsement or update. If Purchaser fails to deliver to the applicable Seller a notice of objections on or before such date, except as to Monetary Exceptions, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any objection to matters appearing on such endorsement or update, and thereafter all such Exceptions shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions. The applicable Seller shall have ten (10) business days from the receipt of Purchaser’s notice either to (i) remove the Exceptions, or (ii) provide Purchaser with assurances satisfactory to Purchaser, in its sole discretion, that the Exceptions will be removed or affirmative title insurance protection will be provided before or as of the Closing.
