<br />4.4 Entry and Indemnity
<br />Within five (5) business days after the Agreement Date, City shall provide Buyer,
<br />without representation or warranty of any kind whatsoever, with any reports, studies and other
<br />related information in its possession that are known to Rosanna Russell, Director of Real Estate
<br />Services Division of the SFPUC, and that reasonably relate to the Property, but excluding any of
<br />City's internal memoranda or reports, any privileged or confidential information, and City's
<br />appraisals of the Property. During the Contingency Period, Buyer may conduct such due
<br />diligence activities, inspections, and studies of the Property as it deems necessary or appropriate,
<br />and examine and investigate to its full satisfaction all facts, circumstances, and matters relating
<br />to the Property. In connection with any entry by Buyer or its Agents (as defined in Section 10.8
<br />below) onto the Property, Buyer shall give City reasonable advance written notice of such entry
<br />and shall conduct such entry and any inspections so as to minimize, to the extent possible,
<br />interference with uses being made of the Property and otherwise in a manner and on terms and
<br />conditions acceptable to City. All entries by Buyer or its Agents onto the Property to perform
<br />any testing or other investigations that could affect the physical condition of the Property
<br />(including, without limitation, soil borings) or the use of the Property will be made only pursuant
<br />to the terms and conditions of a permit to enter in form and substance satisfactory to City.
<br />Without limiting the foregoing, prior to any entry to perform any on -site testing, Buyer shall give
<br />City written notice of such proposed entry, including the identity of the company or persons who
<br />will perform such testing, the precise time and location of the testing, and the proposed scope of
<br />the testing. City may approve, disapprove, or condition and limit the proposed testing, at City's
<br />sole discretion, within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice. If Buyer or its Agents,
<br />employees or contractors take any sample from the Property in connection with any approved
<br />testing, Buyer shall provide to City a portion of such sample being tested to allow City, if it so
<br />chooses, to perform its own testing. City or its representative may be present to observe any
<br />testing or other inspection performed on the Property. Buyer shall promptly deliver to City
<br />copies of any reports relating to any testing or other inspection of the Property performed by
<br />Buyer or its Agents, employees or contractors, but shall not deliver copies of any such reports to
<br />any other person or entity without City's prior written approval, unless required by law. Buyer
<br />shall keep all test results and information strictly confidential, unless required by law. In
<br />connection with any entry onto or testing of the Property, Buyer shall comply with all applicable
<br />laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, orders and the like issued or promulgated by any local, state,
<br />or federal governmental agency.
<br />Buyer shall maintain, and shall require that its Agents maintain, public liability and
<br />property damage insurance in amounts and in form and substance adequate to insure against all
<br />liability of Buyer and its Agents arising out of any entry or inspection of the Property in -
<br />connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and Buyer shall provide City
<br />with evidence of such insurance coverage upon City's request.
<br />To the fullest extent permitted under law, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold
<br />harmless City, its Agents, and each of them, from and against any liabilities, costs, damages,
<br />losses, liens, claims and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of attorneys,
<br />experts and consultants and related costs) (collectively, "Claims") arising out of or relating to
<br />any entry on, under or about the Property by Buyer, its Agents, contractors and subcontractors in
<br />performing the inspections, testings or inquiries provided for in this Agreement, whether prior to
<br />the date of this Agreement or during its term, including, without limitation, any injuries or deaths
<br />to any persons (including, without limitation, Buyer's Agents) and damage to any property, from
<br />any cause whatsoever. The foregoing indemnity shall survive beyond the Closing, or, if the sale
<br />is not consummated, beyond the termination of this Agreement.
