(e) The Bankruptcy Court shall have approved in connection with the Bankruptcy Case the Transaction contemplated by this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything set forth in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Seller’s Condition has not been satisfied by the Closing Date, then Seller may, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to such Seller’s Condition, either (1) terminate this Agreement, in which case the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive termination or (2) proceed to Closing, in which case such Seller’s Condition shall be deemed to be waived for all purposes.
