The owner shall have 30 days after a final determination by the commission or the courts to notify the agency of its acceptance of such determination and shall have a further period of 30 days to tender a good and sufficient deed of conveyance to the agency of the property required by the order of the commission or the court to be purchased by placing such deed in escrow with the commission or the court, as the case may be, and to comply with all other terms and conditions of the order or judgment. The agency shall have 60 days from the date of the deposit of the deed in escrow to accept or reject such deed, and if it accepts, the agency shall have a further period of 60 days to pay to the owner the price determined as provided in this division and to comply with all other terms and conditions of the order or judgment. For good cause shown the commission or the court may extend any period of time fixed in this section, such extension or extensions not to exceed a total of 60 days. If the owner fails to notify the agency of his acceptance and make tender of a deed as provided in this division within the time so fixed or extended, or to comply with all other terms and conditions of the order or judgment, the agency may proceed as provided by law to construct or otherwise acquire a plant or system within the territory where the property of such owner or any part thereof is located. If the agency shall reject the tender provided in this division for or shall fail to pay the purchase price of the property determined as provided in this division or to comply with all other terms and conditions of the order or judgment, the agency shall not engage in the business of operating an electric public utility in the territory where the property involved is located until it shall again be authorized, as provided by this division and the general law relating thereto, to engage in such business, and such agency shall not again institute proceedings under this division sooner than two years from the date of such rejection or the expiration of the time for the payment of such purchase price, as the case may be.
