Upon receipt of such estimated costs,Seller shall determine if Seller elects to conduct such remediation at Seller's cost and expense. Seller shall provide written notification to Purchaser of its election to conduct such remediation or its election not to conduct such remediation and at such time, shall provide Purchaser a copy of the remediation protocol and estimated costs. If Seller elects to conduct such remediation, Purchaser shall have no further right to terminate the Agreement,as modified hereby,except in the event Seller fails to complete the remediation to the standards set forth herein. If Seller elects not to conduct such remediation, the Original Agreement shall automatically terminate and shall be considered null and void with no further rights or obligations thereunder for either party. (c) If Seller elects to conduct such remediation, upon completion of the remediation, Seller shall deliver lab results indicating the soils and groundwater are below the State target clean up levels as set forth above,along with a report from Seller's consultant verifying the same. Seller's sole obligation in connection with the remediation shall be to deliver the lab results and report as set forth above, and in no event shall Purchaser have any right to object to the findings indicated in such lab reports or Seller's consultant's report. In the event Seller is unable to complete the remediation to bring the soils and/or groundwater below the State target clean-up levels set forth above, Seller may elect to discontinue any further remediation. In such event, Seller shall provide Purchaser with written notification thereof, and the Original Agreement shall automatically terminate and shall be considered null and void with no further rights or obligations thereunder for either party. For avoidance of doubt, if Seller completes the remediation in accordance herewith and to the standards expressly set forth herein, Purchaser shall have no right to terminate the Agreement and shall be unconditionally bound to proceed to closing.

No further documentation or agreement between the parties shall be necessary in connection with the increase of the liquidated damages, the parties agreeing and acknowledging that Seller would not agree to the terms of this Fourth Amendment or proceed with the testing and remediation of the Property, if elected by Seller, but for the increase in the liquidated damages. The parties agree and acknowledge that the actual damages in connection with a Purchaser default following Seller's election to proceed to remediate the Property is difficult to ascertain, and the increased liquidated damages is a reasonable estimation of the damages Seller could incur in connection with a Purchaser default. (e) Upon completion of the remediation and delivery of the lab results indicating the soils and groundwater are below the State target clean up levels as set forth above, along with the report from Seller's consultant verifying the same,the closing shall occur on the date that is thirty Williams Reserve—Fourth Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement 3 DRAFT AS OF 4/22/2025 TAX ID NUMBERS:00057320005;00072520000;00113600106;00132680107;00132720009;00132640008;00114160001; 00113600009;00113560000;00131760002;00131720000;00132680000 (30) business days following Purchaser's receipt of such lab data and report.
