Default by Seller Time is of the essence with respect to any Purchase Order. If for any reason Seller anticipates difficulty in complying with any scheduled delivery, or in meeting any of the other requirements of a Purchase Order or any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer in writing. In no event, however, shall any notice provided hereunder be construed as a waiver by Buyer of any delivery schedule or any other rights or remedies provided to Buyer under this Agreement. Should Seller fail to deliver any goods or services pursuant to the schedule(s) set forth in a Purchase Order, or fail to comply with any provision contained in this Agreement or in a Purchase Order, such a failure shall be deemed a default by Seller. In the event of Seller’s default, Buyer may, in its sole discretion: (i) terminate a Purchase Order without further compensation to Seller by providing written notice, (ii) obtain substitute or replacement goods or services without notice to Seller, and/or (iii) thereafter reject any late goods or services tendered by Seller, even if conforming. Seller shall be responsible for all general, consequential, and incidental damages that Buyer may incur as a result of Seller’s failure to meet delivery schedules, including, but not limited to, the cost of obtaining goods from an alternate source and/or expedited or premium freight or transportation costs. Alternatively, Buyer in its sole discretion may extend the delivery schedule and/or waive other deficiencies in Seller’s performance. In either case, Seller shall extend to Buyer an equitable reduction in the Purchase Order price. If Buyer approves a revised delivery date, Seller shall pay any additional transportation charges. The rights and remedies of Buyer provided in this Article 22 shall not be exclusive, nor deemed an election remedies, and are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided under this Agreement or a Purchase Order, or allowed by law. Seller’s warranty, intellectual property, confidentiality, and related obligations under this Agreement, and all of Buyer’s rights and remedies for any breach by Seller, shall survive Buyer’s termination due to Seller’s default.
Default by Buyer BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT (ALL OF THE CONDITIONS TO BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE HAVING BEEN SATISFIED OR WAIVED), SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH WILL, DUE TO THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WHICH PRECEDED THIS AGREEMENT, BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. IN ADDITION, BUYER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF BUYER TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE SELLER TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLER MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLER MAY, IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER, CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. SUCH RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY.
