In entering into this Agreement, Buyer has relied upon its own investigation and analysis as well as the representations and warranties of Sellers contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and Buyer (a) acknowledges that none of Sellers, the Companies or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives makes or has made any representation or warranty, either express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of any of the information provided or made available to Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives, and (b) agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by law, that neither Sellers, the Companies nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever to Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives on any basis (including, without limitation, in contract or tort, under federal or state securities laws or otherwise) based upon any information provided or made available, or statements made, to Buyer or its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, controlling Persons, agents or representatives (or any omissions therefrom), except in the case of clauses (a) and (b) as and only to the extent expressly set forth in this Agreement with respect to the representations and warranties of Sellers in Article III and subject to the limitations and restrictions contained in this Agreement.
Investigation by Purchaser Seller will (a) provide Purchaser and its officers, employees, counsel, accountants, financial advisors, potential lenders, Purchaser's and potential lenders' consultants and other representatives (collectively, "Representatives") with full access, upon reasonable prior notice and during normal business hours, to the Employees and such other officers, employees and agents of Seller who have any responsibility for the PSE Colstrip Interests, to Seller's accountants and, subject to the terms and conditions of the Colstrip Contracts, to the Assets (including, to the extent it is within Seller's power to do so, access to the Colstrip 1, 2, 3 and 4 site), but only to the extent that such access does not unreasonably interfere with Seller's business and the operation of the Assets, (b) make available to Purchaser and its Representatives, upon request, a copy of each report, schedule or other document filed or received by Seller between the Bid Date and the Closing with or from the SEC, FERC, EPA, WUTC or any other relevant Governmental or Regulatory Authority and relating to the ownership, operation and maintenance of the Assets or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and all such information and data (including copies of Business Contracts, Transferable Permits, Fuel Contracts, Colstrip Contracts, and other Books and Records) concerning the ownership, operation and maintenance of the PSE Colstrip Interests and the Assets and the Assumed Liabilities as Purchaser or its Representatives reasonably may request in connection with such investigation, except to the extent that furnishing any such report, schedule, other documents, information or data would violate any Law, Order (including any protective order or similar confidentiality obligation), Contract, License or Environmental Permit applicable to Seller or by which any of its Assets and Properties is bound. In furtherance of the foregoing, Seller agrees to cooperate with Purchaser in connection with Purchaser's efforts to obtain Purchaser Financing, as defined in Section 5.07. Seller's cooperation shall include the negotiation and execution of a consent with the lenders with respect to the Operative Agreements, which consent shall include providing such lenders with rights to cure a Purchaser default under the Operative Agreements; provided, however, that Seller shall not be obligated, in connection with such cooperation or consent, to take any action or enter into any agreement that would have any adverse effect on Seller or any of its rights or benefits under this Agreement or the Operative Agreements.

Indemnity by Buyer Buyer hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sellers and the Company, any and all of their respective officers, directors, managers, members, agents and other Affiliates (the “Seller Parties”) from and against any Losses which may be made or brought against the Seller Parties or which the Seller Parties may suffer or incur as a result of, in respect of or arising out of:
Breach by Seller In the event that Seller shall fail to consummate this Agreement for any reason, except Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement by Purchaser or Seller pursuant to a right to do so under the provisions hereof, Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy may either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money, and neither party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder other than the Surviving Obligations, or (b) pursue the remedy of specific performance of Seller’s obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that (i) Purchaser shall only be entitled to such remedy if (A) any such suit for specific performance is filed within sixty (60) days after Purchaser becomes aware of the default by Seller, (B) Purchaser is not in default under this Agreement beyond any applicable notice and cure period, (C) Purchaser has tendered an amount equal to three percent (3%) of the Purchase Price to the Title Company in immediately available funds and the Title Company has acknowledged receipt of same, in writing, to Seller, and (D) Purchaser has furnished ten (10) days prior written notice to Seller of its intent and election to seek specific enforcement of this Agreement; and (ii) notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Seller shall not be obligated to expend any sums to cure any defaults under this Agreement and if Purchaser seeks specific performance under this Agreement, Purchaser agrees to accept the Property in its “AS IS, WHERE IS” condition Purchaser hereby agrees that prior to its exercise of any rights or remedies as a result of any defaults by Seller, Purchaser will first deliver written notice of said default to Seller, and if Seller so elects, Seller shall have the opportunity, but not the obligation, to cure such default within ten (10) days after Seller’s receipt of such notice. In no event whatsoever shall Purchaser file any instrument of record against title to the Property; provided, however, Purchaser may file a lis pendens of this Agreement simultaneously with its filing of a suit for specific performance pursuant to this Section 8.1. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing to the contrary, in no event whatsoever shall Purchaser have the right to seek money damages of any kind as a result of any default by Seller under any of the terms of this Agreement. In no event shall Seller be liable to Purchaser for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
Default by Purchaser IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN DO NOT OCCUR AS PROVIDED HEREIN (TIME BEING OF THE ESSENCE) BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER, PURCHASER AND SELLER AGREE IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER. PURCHASER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT (i) AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE XXXXXXX MONEY DEPOSIT, TOGETHER WITH ALL INTEREST ACCRUED THEREON, IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT PURCHASER DEFAULTS AND FAILS TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND (ii) SUCH AMOUNT SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER AND WILL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR PURCHASER’S DEFAULT AND FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY, AND WILL BE SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) FOR ANY DEFAULT OF PURCHASER RESULTING IN THE FAILURE OF CONSUMMATION OF THE CLOSING, WHEREUPON THIS AGREEMENT WILL TERMINATE AND SELLER AND PURCHASER WILL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION 13.2 HEREIN WILL LIMIT SELLER’S REMEDIES AT LAW, IN EQUITY OR AS HEREIN PROVIDED IN THE EVENT OF A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ANY OF THE CLOSING SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS OR THE TERMINATION SURVIVING OBLIGATIONS.
Indemnity by Purchaser The Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company, its officers, directors, attorneys and agents are relying upon the representations, warranties and agreements made by the Purchaser to and with the Company herein and, thus hereby agrees to indemnify the Company, its officers and directors, agents, attorneys, and employees, and agrees to hold each of them harmless against any and all loss, damage, liability or exposure, including reasonable attorneys fee, that it or any of them may suffer, sustain, or incur by reason of or in connection with any misrepresentation or breach of warranty or agreement made by the Purchaser under this Agreement, or in connection with the sale or distribution by the Purchaser of the Shares in violation of the Act or any other applicable law.
Termination by Sellers This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing Date by Sellers as follows:
Default by one or more of the Selling Shareholders or the Company (a) If a Selling Shareholder shall fail at Closing Time or at a Date of Delivery to sell and deliver the number of Securities which such Selling Shareholder or Selling Shareholders are obligated to sell hereunder, and the remaining Selling Shareholders do not exercise the right hereby granted to increase, pro rata or otherwise, the number of Securities to be sold by them hereunder to the total number to be sold by all Selling Shareholders as set forth in Schedule B hereto, then the Underwriters may, at option of the Representatives, by notice from the Representatives to the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders, either (a) terminate this Agreement without any liability on the fault of any non-defaulting party except that the provisions of Sections 1, 4, 6, 7 and 8 shall remain in full force and effect or (b) elect to purchase the Securities which the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders and the Company have agreed to sell hereunder. No action taken pursuant to this Section 11 shall relieve any Selling Shareholder so defaulting from liability, if any, in respect of such default. In the event of a default by any Selling Shareholder as referred to in this Section 11, each of the Representatives, the Company and the non-defaulting Selling Shareholders shall have the right to postpone Closing Time or Date of Delivery for a period not exceeding seven days in order to effect any required change in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or in any other documents or arrangements.
Default by Buyer IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW DOES NOT OCCUR BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT BY BUYER (OR ANY DEFAULT BY BUYER UNDER THE OTHER PURCHASE AGREEMENTS), BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER MAY SUFFER. THEREFORE BUYER AND SELLER DO HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE TOTAL NET DETRIMENT THAT SELLER WOULD SUFFER IN THE EVENT OF SUCH A DEFAULT BY BUYER IS AND SHALL BE, AS SELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (WHETHER AT LAW OR IN EQUITY) FOR SUCH BREACH, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT, AND ANY INTEREST ACCRUING THEREON. SAID AMOUNT SHALL BE THE FULL, AGREED AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FOR SUCH A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT BY BUYER, ALL OTHER CLAIMS TO DAMAGES OR OTHER REMEDIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH A BREACH BY BUYER BEING HEREIN EXPRESSLY WAIVED BY SELLER. UPON SUCH A DEFAULT BY BUYER, THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE TERMINATED AND, EXCEPT FOR THOSE PROVISIONS WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY FURTHER RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER, EACH TO THE OTHER EXCEPT FOR THE RIGHT OF SELLER TO COLLECT SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES FROM BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH 18(b) TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, SELLER SHALL HAVE ALL REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT BUYER OR ANY PARTY RELATED TO OR AFFILIATED WITH BUYER IS ASSERTING ANY CLAIMS OR RIGHT TO THE PROPERTY THAT WOULD OTHERWISE DELAY OR PREVENT SELLER FROM HAVING CLEAR, INDEFEASIBLE AND MARKETABLE TITLE TO THE PROPERTY. IF CLOSE OF ESCROW IS CONSUMMATED, SELLER SHALL HAVE ALL REMEDIES AVAILABLE AT LAW OR IN EQUITY IN THE EVENT BUYER FAILS TO PERFORM ANY OBLIGATION OF BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS PARAGRAPH 18(b) TO THE CONTRARY, THE FOREGOING SHALL IN NO EVENT LIMIT BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER PARAGRAPHS 4(d), 17, 20, 21(e) and 21(m) AND/OR SELLER’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES IN CONNECTION THEREWITH.
