Purchaser’s Remedies 8.1 The Purchaser shall not be entitled to claim that any fact, matter or circumstance causes any of the Seller Warranties to be breached or renders any of the Seller Warranties misleading if it has been fairly disclosed in the Share Purchase Documents, the Disclosure Letter or the Audited Accounts in the absence of any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the Seller or its agents or advisers and only those matters so disclosed in the Share Purchase Documents, the Disclosure Letter or the Audited Accounts shall qualify the Seller Warranties.
8.2 No liability shall attach to the Seller in respect of claims under the Seller Warranties if and to the extent that the limitations referred to in sub-clause 8.1 apply, in the absence of any fraud or dishonesty on the part of the Seller or its agents or advisers.
8.3 The Seller’s liability for any claims under this Agreement shall be limited or excluded, as the case may be, as set out in Schedule 5 (Limitations on Seller’s Liability).
(A) If, between the execution of this Agreement and Completion, the Purchaser becomes aware (whether it does so by reason of any disclosure made under clause 7.3 (Seller Warranties) or not) that any of the Seller Warranties is or was inaccurate or misleading or that there has been any breach or breaches of any of the Seller Warranties or any other term of this Agreement, in each case having a Material Adverse Effect, the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by notice in writing to the Seller.
(B) If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with sub-clause 8.4(A) (and without limiting the Purchaser’s right to claim damages):
(i) the Seller will indemnify the Purchaser on demand on an after-Tax basis for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Purchaser in accordance with sub-clause 17.2 (Costs and expenses); and
(ii) all obligations of the Purchaser under this Agreement shall end (except for the provisions of clauses 15 (Announcements) and 16 (Confidentiality)), but (for the avoidance of doubt) all rights and liabilities of the parties which have accrued before termination for breach of this Agreement shall continue to exist.
(C) (For the avoidance of doubt but without limiting clause 10 (Remedies and waivers)), the Purchaser’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with sub-clause 8.4(A) is not exclusive of any rights, powers and remedies provided by law.
8.5 If, following Completion, the Purchaser becomes aware that there has been any breach of the Seller Warranties or any other term of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall not be entitled to terminate this Agreement but shall be entitled to claim damages or exercise any other right, power or remedy under this Agreement or as otherwise provided by law.
By Seller Subject to the terms and conditions of this Article IX, Seller covenants and agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer, its officers, directors, employees, agents, advisers, representatives and Affiliates (collectively, the "Buyer Indemnitees") from and against, and pay or reimburse Buyer Indemnitees for, any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, fines, costs, proceedings, deficiencies or damages (whether absolute, accrued, conditional or otherwise and whether or not resulting from third party claims), including out-of-pocket expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in the investigation or defense of any of the same or in asserting any of their respective rights hereunder (collectively, "Losses"), resulting from or arising out of:
(i) Any misrepresentation or breach of any warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement; provided that any claim for indemnification by Buyer under this clause (i) may be made no later than 18 months from and after the Closing Date, excepting only that any claim for misrepresentation or breach of warranty under Sections 3.6, 3.10(a), 3.18(a), 3.19 and 3.21 may be made no later than a date thirty days from and after the expiration of the period of the applicable statute of limitations;
(ii) any failure of Seller to perform any covenant or agreement made or contained in this Agreement or fulfill any obligation in respect thereof;
(iii) any Excluded Liabilities;
(iv) any and all Benefit Liabilities in respect of Employees except, with respect to Transferred Employees, to the extent assumed by Buyer pursuant to Article VII; and
(v) any product liability claim with respect to products manufactured by Seller and sold prior to the Closing. Seller shall not be required to indemnify Buyer Indemnitees with respect to any claim for indemnification resulting from or arising out of matters described in clauses (i) and (v) above pursuant to this Section unless and until the aggregate amount of all claims against Seller exceeds $270,000 and then only to the extent such aggregate amount exceeds $270,000. Claims thereafter may be asserted regardless of amount. Seller's maximum liability to Buyer Indemnitees under clauses (i) and (v) of this Section shall not exceed $13,750,000.
Seller’s Remedies If Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Contract at or prior to Closing for any reason except failure by Seller to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Purchaser's representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, and this failure or breach is not cured within three (3) Business Days after written notice from Seller to Purchaser (other than failure to close for any reason unrelated to a default by Seller, for which there shall be no notice or cure period), then Seller, as its SOLE and EXCLUSIVE remedy (except as provided in Sections 6(c) and 9), may (i) terminate this Contract and receive the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder, or (ii) waive Purchaser’s failure or breach and proceed to Closing. Seller and Purchaser agree that Seller's damages resulting from Purchaser's default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine, and the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages and has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 11(a) to the contrary, in the event of Purchaser's default or termination of this Contract, Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity if Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser 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 other than as a result of Purchaser’s exercise of its remedies under subsection (b) hereof. If Closing is consummated, then Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity if Purchaser fails to perform any post-closing obligation of Purchaser under this Contract.
Buyer Deliveries At the Closing the Buyer shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price.
Breach by Seller In the event Seller shall fail to fully and timely perform any of its obligations hereunder or shall fail to consummate the sale of the Property for any reason, except Purchaser’s default, Purchaser may: (1) enforce specific performance of this Contract; or (2) request that the Escrow Deposit, if any, shall be forthwith returned by the title company to Purchaser.
