133authorized. A “test” is defined as the taking of samples of materials such as soils, water, air or building materials from the Assets and

134the laboratory or other analysis of these materials. Seller agrees to allow Buyer’s inspectors, testers, appraisers and qualified third

135parties reasonable access to the Assets upon advance notice, if necessary to satisfy the contingencies in this Offer. Buyer and

136licensees may be present at all inspections and testing. Except as otherwise provided, Seller’s authorization for inspections does not

137authorize Buyer to conduct testing of the Assets.

138NOTE: Any contingency authorizing testing should specify the Assets to be tested, the purpose of the test, (e.g., to

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

140any other material terms of the contingency.

141Buyer agrees to promptly restore the Assets to their original condition after Buyer’s inspections and testing are completed unless

142otherwise agreed to with Seller. Buyer agrees to promptly provide copies of all inspection and testing reports to Seller. Seller

143acknowledges that certain inspections or tests may detect environmental pollution which may be required to be reported to the

144Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources.

145BUYER’S PRE-CLOSING VIEW OF ASSETS Within 3 days prior to closing, at a reasonable time pre-approved by Seller or Seller's

146agent, Buyer shall have the right to view the Assets solely to determine that there has been no significant change in the condition of

147the Assets, except for ordinary wear and tear and changes approved by Buyer, and that any Defects Seller has agreed to cure have

148been repaired in the manner agreed to by the Parties.

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

155changes for the Assets. Contingencies for investigation of these issues may be added to this Offer. See lines 355-381 and 382-424.

156If plant closings or mass layoffs will occur as a result of this Offer the Buyer and Seller should review federal and state plant closing

157laws.

158PROPERTY DIMENSIONS AND SURVEYS Buyer acknowledges that any land, building or room dimensions, or total acreage or

159building square footage figures, provided to Buyer by Seller or by a broker, may be approximate because of rounding, formulas used

160or other reasons, unless verified by survey or other means.

161CAUTION: Buyer should verify total square footage or acreage figures and land, building or room dimensions, if material to

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.

170If Seller defaults, Buyer may:

171(1) sue for specific performance; or

172(2) terminate the Offer and request the return of the earnest money, sue for actual damages, or both.

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.
