14.
|
Default and Remedies.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Seller’s Failure. If Seller shall fail to fully and timely perform any of its obligations hereunder, or if any warranty or representation made by Seller herein is not true and correct in all material respects, and such failure shall continue for five (5) business days following notice thereof in writing from Buyer, then Buyer may either (i) terminate this Agreement and the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to collect from Seller all damages, costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the default by Seller and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (and specifically excluding any consequential damages, indirect damages, punitive damages or lost profits) (“Damages”), or (ii) seek specific performance of this Agreement, together with all Damages.
|
|
(b)
|
Buyer’s Failure. If Escrow does not close due to Buyer’s failure to fully and timely perform any of its material obligations hereunder, except as permitted under Section 6(c), and Seller is not in default hereunder, the Escrowholder is irrevocably instructed to deliver the Deposit to Seller as liquidated damages for Buyer’s failure to complete the purchase, it being acknowledged by Buyer and Seller that the damages which Seller would sustain would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix or determine. Buyer and Seller agree that the liquidated damages shall be Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy for Buyer’s default hereunder. Buyer and Seller agree that Seller’s economic detriment resulting from the removal of the Property from the real estate market and other activities in furtherance of this Agreement would be extremely difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, the parties acknowledge that the actual damages caused Seller by the failure to close Escrow would be extremely difficult to establish. In addition, Buyer desires to have a limitation on its potential liability to Seller if this transaction fails to close. Therefore, in order to induce Seller to waive all other remedies Seller may have in the event of breach by Buyer of its obligations hereunder, Buyer and Seller have agreed to the concept of liquidated damages as set forth herein, with the amount and timing of the payment having been the subject of negotiation between the parties. By placing their initials below, Buyer and Seller acknowledge that they have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by this provision.

Thereupon, if a substantial portion (i.e., at least ten (10) percent) of the Property is so damaged or threatened, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and cancel Escrow by giving written notice to Escrowholder and Seller. If there be no such termination, then each of the parties shall cooperate with the other during the course of any such eminent domain proceedings or threat thereof, and shall furnish to the other full copies of all pleadings, correspondence, documents, and other data concerning the same. Seller shall make all commercially reasonable efforts to postpone any definitive proceedings, including, without limitation, a trial on the merits of the case, until after the Closing. Buyer at its expense shall be in control of any such condemnation proceedings or threat thereof during the Escrow period, but shall deal through Seller or consult with Seller prior to making any substantial negotiations or communications with public agencies or any substantial decisions affecting such proceedings or threat thereof. Any condemnation award by a court or insurance proceeds payable for such damage shall be paid to Buyer and Buyer shall be entitled to retain all insurance and condemnation proceeds in the event that Close of Escrow occurs.
