139determine if the presence or absence of a source of environmental contamination), any limitations on Buyer's testing and

149CAUTION: The intention of this paragraph is only to allow Buyer to view the Assets. The Parties should consider separate

150language to address specific concerns.

151PROPERTY IMPROVEMENT, DEVELOPMENT OR CHANGE OF USE If Buyer contemplates improving, developing or changing

152the use of the Assets, Buyer may need to address municipal ordinances and zoning, recorded building and use restrictions,

153covenants and easements which may prohibit some improvements or uses. The need for licenses, building permits, zoning

154variances, environmental audits, etc. may need to be investigated to determine feasibility of improvements, development or use

162Buyer’s decision to purchase.

163DEFAULT Seller and Buyer each have the legal duty to use good faith and due diligence in completing the terms and conditions of

164this Offer. A material failure to perform any obligation under this Offer is a default which may subject the defaulting party to liability

165for damages or other legal remedies.

166If Buyer defaults, Seller may:

167(1) sue for specific performance and request the earnest money as partial payment of the purchase price; or

168(2) terminate the Offer and have the option to: (a) request the earnest money as liquidated damages; or (b) sue for actual

169damages.

173In addition, the Parties may seek any other remedies available in law or equity.

Page 4 of 14, WB-16

174 The Parties understand that the availability of any judicial remedy will depend upon the circumstances of the situation and the

175discretion of the courts. If either Party defaults, the Parties may renegotiate the Offer or seek nonjudicial dispute resolution instead of

176the remedies outlined above. By agreeing to binding arbitration, the Parties may lose the right to litigate in a court of law those

177disputes covered by the arbitration agreement.
