shall have any further obligation to the other and the Deposit and all accrued
interest thereon shall be returned to Buyer; all obligations of the parties
hereto shall cease, and this Agreement shall be void and without recourse to the
parties hereto except with respect to provisions hereof which specifically
survive termination; or, (c) proceed to Closing and if such party makes such

those matters waived by such party. In the event that a party elects to

to notice from such other party, to extend the Closing Date for any period of

the purposes of this acquisition with Buyer as the sole managing member; or (b)
to the Affiliates of Buyer, (each a "PERMITTED SUCCESSOR OR ASSIGNEE"),
provided, at the time of such assignment, Buyer and the Permitted Assignee shall
execute and deliver to Seller a written agreement pursuant to which Buyer
unconditionally assigns its interest in this Agreement to Permitted Assignee and
the Permitted Assignee unconditionally assumes and agrees to perform all of the
obligations of Buyer pursuant to this Agreement and such assignment shall not
relieve Buyer of its obligations hereunder. Other than the Permitted Assignee,
Buyer shall not assign any or all of its rights and obligations pursuant to this
Agreement (whether by direct or indirect transfer or assignment) without
Seller's prior written consent, which may be granted or withheld in Seller's
sole discretion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no
such assignment shall be of any force and effect, if as a result thereof, any
third party approvals or consents required hereunder are adversely affected.
17. Escrow Agent.
(A) The Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in an interest-bearing
account. Such account shall be maintained until the Deposit and the interest
thereon have been delivered to Buyer, Seller or a court of competent
jurisdiction in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and shall
terminate on the date of such delivery. All interest on the Deposit is to be
accounted for and accrue to the account of Buyer if the Closing occurs; or paid
to Buyer if the Deposit (or any portion thereof) is returned to Buyer under the
terms of this Agreement; or if Seller shall retain the Deposit under the terms
of this Agreement, then the entire amount of the interest shall be paid to
Seller.
(B) Escrow Agent shall account for the Deposit in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement or in such other manner as may be directed in a joint
written notice from Seller and Buyer directing some other disbursement of the
Deposit. If Escrow Agent receives written notice from either Buyer or Seller
that the other party has defaulted in the performance of its obligations under
this Agreement or that any condition to the performance of obligations under
this Agreement has not been fulfilled within the time period stipulated, which
notice shall describe in reasonable detail such default or non-performance, then
Escrow Agent shall (i) promptly give notice to the party alleged to
22
have defaulted or to have failed to fulfill its obligation of Escrow Agent's
receipt of such notice from the other party and shall enclose a copy of such
notice from the other party, and (ii) subject to the provisions of Section 17(c)
below which shall apply if a conflict arises, on the tenth (10th) calendar day
after the giving of the notice referred to in clause (i) above, deliver the
Deposit (or the appropriate portion thereof) and the interest thereon to the
party claiming the right to receive it.
(C) If Escrow Agent is uncertain as to its duties or actions hereunder,
it shall be entitled to take any of the following courses of action: (i) hold
the Deposit as provided above in this Section 17 and decline to take any further
action until Escrow Agent receives a joint written direction from Buyer and
Seller or an order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the
disbursement of the Deposit, in which case Escrow Agent shall then disburse the
Deposit in accordance with such direction; (ii) in the event of litigation
between Buyer and Seller, deliver the Deposit and all interest thereon to the
clerk of any court in which such litigation is pending; or (iii) deliver the
Deposit and all interest thereon to a court of competent jurisdiction and
commence an action for interpleader in such court, whereupon Escrow Agent shall
have no further duty with respect to the Deposit.
(D) Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted in
good faith and may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from
acting in reliance, upon an opinion of counsel and upon any directions,
instructions, notices, certificates, instruments, requests, papers or other
documents believed by it to be genuine and to have been made, sent, signed or
presented by the proper party or parties.
(E) Escrow Agent shall have no liability with regard to any duty under
this Agreement nor be responsible for the loss of any moneys held by it except
in the event of willful and intentional misconduct on the part of Escrow Agent.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Buyer and Seller jointly
indemnify and hold harmless Escrow Agent against any losses, costs, liabilities,
claims and expenses incurred by Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection
with its services under the terms of this Agreement, including attorneys' fees
and expenses and the costs and expenses of any interpleader action involving the
Deposit or of defending itself against any claim or liability.
(F) Buyer and Seller shall each be responsible for one-half of all
Escrow Agent fees.
18. Miscellaneous.
(A) Invalidity. In the event any term or provision of this Agreement is
determined by appropriate judicial authority to be illegal or otherwise invalid,
such provision shall be given its nearest legal meaning or be construed as
deleted as such authority determines, and the remainder of this Agreement shall
be construed to be in full force and effect.
(B) Entire Understanding; No Oral Modification. This Agreement
contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto and may not be
changed or terminated orally.
23
(C) Waiver. Any waiver by any party of any provision of this Agreement
or breach thereof will not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other
provision or subsequent breach thereof.
(D) Attorney's Fees. In the event of any litigation between the parties
over the terms of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party will pay all
reasonable attorney's fees and costs at all levels to the prevailing party.
Wherever provision is made in this Agreement for "attorneys' fees," such term
shall be deemed to include accountants' and attorneys' fees and court costs,
whether or not litigation is commenced, including those for appellate and
post-judgment proceedings and for paralegals and similar persons.
(E) Florida Law; Binding Effect; Jurisdiction and Venue. The
interpretation, enforcements and performance of this Agreement shall be governed
by the laws of the State of Florida. Seller, Buyer and Escrow Agent agree and
consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the county of circuit courts of Palm
Beach County, Florida, and/or of the United States District Court for the
Southern District of Florida, whichever may be appropriate in any and all
actions or proceedings arising directly or indirectly under this Agreement.
Furthermore, Seller and Buyer agree that the execution and performance of this
Agreement constitute sufficient contact with Florida for the purposes of
establishing personal jurisdiction in Florida. By execution of this Agreement,
each of the undersigned hereby waives any and all defenses it may have to claim
a lack of personal jurisdiction by Florida courts. The parties also waive all
claims to the right of venue in any court outside of the State of Florida.
(F) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original and all of which,
together, will constitute one and the same document.
(G) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIMS
ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
(H) Preparation of Agreement. Each party has participated fully in the
negotiation and preparation of this Agreement with full benefit of counsel.
Accordingly, this Agreement shall not be more strictly construed against either
party.
(I) References and Captions. Whenever used in this Agreement, the

gender shall include every other and all genders, and captions and paragraph
headings shall be disregarded. The captions in this Agreement are for the
