exceptions not objected to by Buyer and all title exceptions Seller elects not to eliminate in Seller’s Title Notice shall be “Permitted Exceptions.”

6.5 No Material Changes. On and as of the Closing Date, there shall have been no material adverse changes in the physical condition of the Property or the status of leases for the Property, other than such changes as may be contemplated by this Agreement.
6.6 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of Seller. On and as of the Closing Date, Seller shall have duly and timely performed each and every material agreement to be performed by Seller hereunder and Seller’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects.

Seller’s sole obligation shall be to utilize commercially reasonable efforts to obtain estoppel certificates from each of the tenants. If on or before a date that is ten (10) days before the Closing Date, such Estoppel Threshold has not been satisfied (or waived by Buyer within two (2) days from notice from Seller to Buyer that such Estoppel Threshold has not been satisfied), then the purchase and sale agreement shall be terminated and the Xxxxxxx Money (except for the $15,000 nonrefundable portion) shall be returned to Buyer unless Seller furnishes Seller Tenant Certificates (defined below) in a form satisfactory to Buyer with respect to enough tenants to meet the Estoppel Threshold.

form satisfactory to Buyer, to “Seller’s Knowledge” which is correct in all material respects.

At closing, Seller shall provide Buyer with then-current reconciliation of CAM and other pass-through expenses with respect to the Property, and copies of all documentation supporting such expenses. Promptly after Buyer’s completion of its year-end CAM reconciliation for the year in which closing occurs, Buyer shall invoice tenants for any amounts due. Any such "true up" payments received from tenants attributable to Buyer’s year-end CAM reconciliation of actual and budgeted pass-through payments shall be allocated among Seller and Buyer pro rata in accordance with their respective period of ownership. Seller and Buyer agree to cooperate and use reasonable efforts to make such adjustments no later than sixty (60) days after Buyer completes its reconciliation for the year in which closing occurs (or as soon thereafter as may be

10.4.5 The Title Company will deliver its commitment letter committing to issue the policy described in Section 11 upon recordation of the closing documents.

16. Legal and Equitable Remedies.
16.1 Default by Seller. In the event that the transaction fails to close by reason of any default by Seller not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Buyer, or, if the default is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, if Seller fails to commence the cure with such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion, all Xxxxxxx Money shall be returned to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to pursue any other remedy available to it at law or in equity, including (without limitation) the remedy of specific performance; provided that Buyer hereby waives and releases Seller from any claim for consequential damages arising from such default by Seller.
16.2 Default by Buyer. In the event that this transaction fails to close by reason of any default by Buyer not cured within ten (10) days after written notice from Seller, or, if the default is of such a nature that it cannot reasonably be cured within ten (10) days, if Buyer fails to commence the cure with such ten (10) day period and thereafter diligently prosecute the same to completion, all Xxxxxxx Money shall be forfeited by Buyer and released from escrow to Seller.
NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT, IF THE SALE OF THE PROPERTY IS NOT CONSUMMATED BY REASON OF A DEFAULT BY BUYER HEREUNDER AFTER SELLER HAS GIVEN BUYER NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 16.2 ABOVE, THEN BUYER SHALL HAVE NO FURTHER RIGHT TO PURCHASE ALL OR ANY PORTION OF THE PROPERTY FROM SELLER, AND SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECEIVE FROM BUYER THE XXXXXXX MONEY AS SELLER’S LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICABLE AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO FIX THE ACTUAL DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. IN ADDITION, BUYER DESIRES TO LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES FOR WHICH BUYER MIGHT BE LIABLE SHOULD BUYER BREACH THIS AGREEMENT, AND SELLER DESIRES TO AVOID THE COSTS AND LENGTHY DELAYS THAT WOULD RESULT IF SELLER WERE REQUIRED TO FILE A LAWSUIT TO COLLECT ITS DAMAGES FOR A BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT. THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE, AND SHALL BE SELLER’S SOLE REMEDY, EXCEPT FOR BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS TO INDEMNIFY SELLER AS PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH SHALL REMAIN REMEDIES OF SELLER IN ADDITION TO LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PAYMENT OF SUCH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED TO BE AND SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY, BUT IS INTENDED TO
12 - Purchase and Sale Agreement
CONSTITUTE AND REPRESENT LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER. BY PLACING THEIR INITIALS BELOW, EACH PARTY SPECIFICALLY CONFIRMS THE ACCURACY OF THE STATEMENTS MADE IN THIS SECTION AND THE FACT THAT SUCH PARTY WAS REPRESENTED BY COUNSEL OF ITS OWN CHOOSING WHO, AT THE TIME THIS AGREEMENT WAS MADE, EXPLAINED THE CONSEQUENCES OF THIS SECTION TO IT. THIS SECTION DOES NOT LIMIT BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS WHICH, AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

18.2 Waiver. Failure of either party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall not limit the party’s right to enforce the provision.
