and Remedies.

Remedies.

Remedies.

in any material respect, Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, to terminate
this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior
to
or at First Closing.
19
12.3 Purchaser's
Remedies After Closing.
If
after the First Closing any of the Properties or Facilities are found to be
in
violation of any Environmental Laws, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the
Seller and not the Purchaser shall pay the first third party out-of-pocket
costs
and expenses to correct any Environmental Law violations, now known or hereafter
discovered, that existed prior to the Effective Date ("Pre-Existing
Environmental Violations"). The obligation of Seller to pay for the first third
party out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Pre-Existing Environmental Violations
shall terminate and end on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Note
described in Section 5.2 is paid, or (ii) such time that Seller has paid One
Hundred and Ten Thousand ($110,000) Dollars to correct Pre-Existing
Environmental Violations under the provision of this Section 12.3 and under
any
combination of this Section 12.3 and Article IV, Section (d) of the Amarillo
Lease and/or Article IV, Section (d) of the Xxxx Xxxx Lease, Article IV, Section
(d) of the Xxxxxxxx Sub-Lease, Article IV, Section (d) of the Eloy Sub-Lease,
Article IV, Section (d) of the London Sub-Lease, and Article IV, Section (d)
of
the Lake Station Sub-Lease ("Termination of Seller Obligation"). Until the
Termination of Seller Obligation, Seller and Purchaser shall consult with each
other regarding the best and most cost efficient way to cure a Pre-Existing
Environmental Violation. Once Seller and Purchaser agree on the manner to cure
a
Pre-Existing Environmental Violation, they shall co-operate with each other
in
the implementation of the cure with Seller paying all third party costs related
to the cure, until the Termination of Seller Obligation has occurred. If
Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree for any reason regarding such
implementation within thirty (30) days of starting such co-operation process,
the methodology suggested by a reputable environmental firm selected by
Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller shall govern and be implemented
by
the parties. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall charge for the time its
personnel spend on implementing a cure of a Pre-Existing Environmental
Violation.
12.4 Liquidated
Damages.
In the
event Purchaser fails to pay the Second Closing Purchase Price (for reasons
other than Seller performing its obligations at the Second Closing, as set
forth
in this Agreement), Seller's sole remedy shall be to recover liquidated damages
in the amount of $200,000, cancel the Subleases and the Leases for the Amarillo
Property and Eloy Property and re-take possession of the Facilities. The Parties
acknowledge that any damages would be difficult to calculate and agree that
this
amount is reasonable and not a penalty.
12.5 Attorneys'
Fees.
In the
event either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims by
one
party against the other arising from this Agreement, the non-prevailing party
shall pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including
attorneys' fees, incurred in connection with such transaction.
13. Miscellaneous.
13.1 Further
Acts and Assurances.
Each
Party hereto, upon the reasonable request of the other, will execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the other all such other assignments, certificates,

as either party may reasonably request in order to fully carry out the
provisions of this Agreement.

and Assigns.

Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto,

and
assigns.
13.3 No
Waiver; Severability.
Any
failure by a party to insist, or any election by a party not to insist, upon
strict performance by the other party of any of the terms, provisions, or
conditions of this Agreement shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the same
or
of any other terms, provisions, or conditions hereof, and either party shall
