5. Survey and Legal Description. Prior to Closing, Buyer may, at Buyer's sole cost and expense, cause an accurate survey ("Survey") of the Property to be made by a reputable and competent registered land surveyor and such Survey shall be delivered to Buyer. Upon review and approval by Seller, the legal description of the Property contained in the Survey shall be used in the Deed and in the Commitment and Title Policy. The same examination, objection and cure periods and termination rights as are provided in paragraph 4 hereinabove for title matters shall apply to the Survey.
6. Inspections, Approvals and Easements.
A. Inspection and Cooperation.
1. Buyer, and its designees, shall have thirty (30) days after the Effective Date ("Inspection Period") to do all things such as tests, inspections, studies and investigations (hereinafter referred to as the "Inspection Rights") as may be deemed appropriate by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion to determine whether or not the Property is suitable for Buyer's purposes and whether or not it is in Buyer's best interest to consummate the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
2. Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its designees the right to enter upon the Property to exercise the Inspection Rights in order to determine whether the Property is suitable for Buyer's purposes, and Seller hereby agrees to cooperate with Buyer and to execute any applications or other documents reasonably requested by Buyer in connection with the Inspection Rights provided that Seller incurs no cost in connection therewith (except as may be otherwise set forth in this Agreement). Any tests conducted in connection with the Inspection Rights shall be conducted so as not to damage the Property. Buyer agrees to repair or restore the Property to the same or better condition as existed prior to Buyer's entry thereon promptly.
