If Purchaser does not so elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein, and the Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of the Seller’s interest in any condemnation award which may be payable to the Seller on account of any such condemnation and, at Closing, the Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by the Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (a) any amounts reasonably expended by the Seller in collecting such sums and (b) any amounts reasonably used by the Seller to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation. If, prior to Closing, there shall occur a taking by condemnation of any part of or rights appurtenant to the Property that involves property having a value of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000.00) or less and does not materially interfere with the operation or use of the Hotel which constitutes a part of the Property, Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement by reason thereof and the Closing shall take place without abatement of the Purchase Price, but the Seller shall assign to Purchaser at Closing all of the Seller’s interest in any condemnation award which may be payable to the Seller on account of any such condemnation and, at Closing, the Seller shall credit to the amount of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser the amount, if any, of condemnation proceeds received by the Seller between the Effective Date and Closing less (a) any amounts reasonably expended by the Seller in collecting such sums and (b) any amounts reasonably used by the Seller to repair the Property as a result of such condemnation. Provided Purchaser has not exercised its right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.2, the Seller shall notify Purchaser in advance regarding any proceeding or negotiation with respect to the condemnation and Purchaser shall have a reasonable right, at its own cost and expense, to appear and participate in any such proceeding or negotiation. For purposes of Sections 8.1 and 8.2 if this Agreement, estimates of costs and time required for restoration or repair shall be made by an architect or engineer, as appropriate, designated by the Seller and reasonably acceptable to Purchaser.
8.3
Broker. Seller and Purchaser each represents and warrants to the other that it has not employed any real estate sales representatives or brokers regarding the transaction contemplated by this Agreement other than, in Seller’s case, the engagement of NT Realty, LLC, in respect of which Seller shall be solely responsible for the payment of a brokerage fee pursuant to a separate written agreement. Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from any commission or fee claimed to be owing due to the acts of Seller. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any commission or fee claimed to be owing due to the acts of Purchaser. This Section relates solely to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement between Seller and Purchaser and shall not create any third party right or obligation in favor of either or any broker.

ARTICLE IX
DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS; INDEMNIFICATIONS
9.1
Default by Seller. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by Seller in accordance with this Agreement after Purchaser has performed or tendered performance of all of its obligations and satisfied all closing conditions in accordance with this Agreement (other than those closing conditions that by their terms require action on the part of the Seller), then Purchaser, as its sole and exclusive remedy (except as set forth in Section 9.3) shall elect (a) to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its reasonable aggregate out-of-pocket-expenses in connection with the proposed purchase of the Property (not to exceed the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000)) and all other rights and obligations of the Seller and Purchaser hereunder (except those set forth herein which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement) shall terminate immediately; (b) to waive such matter or condition and proceed to Closing, with no reduction in the Purchase Price, or (c) to pursue the remedy of specific performance. In the event of any termination by the Purchaser pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.1, the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded by the Escrow Agent to the Purchaser.
9.2
Default by the Purchaser. If the sale contemplated hereby is not consummated because of a default by the Purchaser in accordance with this Agreement after Seller has satisfied the closing conditions set forth herein in accordance with this Agreement (other than those closing conditions that by their terms require action on the part of the Purchaser), the Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy (except as set forth in Section 9.3), shall be permitted to terminate this Agreement in which event the parties hereto shall be released from all further obligations hereunder except those which expressly survive a termination of this Agreement. In the event of such termination, the Seller shall be entitled to receive the Xxxxxxx Money from the Escrow Agent as liquidated damages and not as penalty, in full satisfaction of its claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that the Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the Xxxxxxx Money is a fair estimate of those damages which has been agreed to in an effort to cause the amount of said damages to be certain.
9.3
Effect of Termination. Neither party hereto shall have any liability in respect to a termination of this Agreement pursuant to Sections 9.1 or 9.2, except to the extent that a party’s failure to satisfy its closing conditions, as applicable, results from the intentional or willful breach or violation of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of such party under this Agreement or willful misconduct or fraud in connection with this Agreement.
9.4
Costs and Attorneys’ Fees. In the event of any litigation or dispute between the parties arising out of or in any way connected with this Agreement, resulting in any litigation, then the prevailing party in such shall be entitled to recover its costs of prosecuting and/or defending same, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees at trial and all appellate levels. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
9.5
Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the liability of each party hereto and any other indemnifying party hereunder resulting from the breach, default or alleged breach or default of this Agreement by such party (or other indemnifying party) shall, in any event, in contract, tort, common law or otherwise, be limited to direct actual damages incurred by the injured party and each party hereto hereby waives its rights to recover from the other party and any other indemnifying party consequential, punitive, exemplary, speculative, punitive or exemplary damages of any kind, damages consisting of lost profits (regardless of the characterization thereof), damages for diminution in value, or damages determined as a multiple of income, earnings, revenue or similar basis, whether or not the possibility of such damages has been disclosed to the other party in advance or could have been reasonably foreseen by such other party. The provisions of this Section 9.5 shall survive the termination of this Agreement indefinitely.

9.6
Agreement to Indemnify.
(a)
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6, and notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Purchaser against any and all claims asserted by any third-party(ies) with respect to obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other charges) connected with the ownership or operation of the Hotel and relating to the period during which Seller owned the Hotel, including, without limitation, actions or claims asserted by such third-party(ies) relating to damage to property or injury to or death of any person during the period of Seller’s ownership of the Hotel, or any claims by any such third-party(ies) for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Hotel or any portion thereof or with respect to the Hotel’s operations at any time during such period. As a material part of the consideration for this Agreement Benchmark Development, Inc. shall guarantee the Seller’s obligations set forth in this Section 9.6(a).
(b)
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6, and notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement to the contrary, Purchaser shall hold harmless, indemnify and defend Seller, its affiliates, members, partners, shareholders, directors, managers, employees representatives and agents against any and all obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of, or in any way relating to, (a) any breach of any representation or warranty of the Seller contained in this Agreement, (b) and breach of any covenant of the Seller which survives the Closing contained in this Agreement and (c) any claims asserted by any third-party(ies) with respect to obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other charges) connected with the ownership or operation of the Hotel and relating to the period after the Closing Date, including, without limitation, actions or claims asserted by such third-party(ies) relating to damage to property or injury to or death of any person during the period after the Closing Date, or any claims by any such third-party(ies) for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Hotel or any portion thereof or with respect to the Hotel’s operations at any time during such period.
(c)
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6, whenever it is provided in this Agreement that an obligation of one party will be assumed by the other party on or after the Closing, the party so assuming such liability also shall be deemed to have agreed to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party and its successors and assigns, from and against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other charges) arising from any failure of the assuming party to perform the obligation so assumed after the Closing and from all third party claims brought against the other party to the extent relating to the period from and after assumption of the liability on which the claim is based.
32 |
(d)
Subject to the limitations set forth in this Section 9.6, whenever either party shall learn through the filing of a claim or the commencement of a proceeding or otherwise of the existence of any liability for which the other party is or may be responsible under this Agreement, the party learning of such liability shall notify the other party promptly and furnish such copies of documents (and make originals thereof available) and such other information as such party may have that may be used or useful in the defense of such claims and shall afford said other party full opportunity to defend the same in the name of the notifying party and generally shall cooperate with said other party in the defense of any such claim. Upon receipt of such notice of possible liability, the party obligated to provide indemnity shall have the right to provide a written notice to the party entitled to indemnity that the indemnifying party elects to assume the defense of such matter, including, without limitation, the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; whereupon the indemnifying party shall have the right to prosecute such defense and shall be responsible for the payment of the fees and disbursements of such counsel; provided, however, if in the reasonable judgment of the indemnified party, (i) such litigation, action, suit, demand, claim or the resolution thereof, would have a material adverse effect on the indemnified party or (ii) the indemnifying party shall have a conflict of interest in defending such action on the indemnified party’s behalf, then at the indemnified party’s election, the indemnified party may defend itself, and in either of such instances it shall be at the indemnifying party’s expense; provided, however, that the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees of no more than one counsel in each jurisdiction in each proceeding. No indemnifying party shall be responsible for any obligation, loss, cost, expense or other liability to the extent that (a) the party entitled to indemnification failed to provide prompt notice thereof to the indemnifying party and (b) such obligation, loss, cost, expense or other liability could have been avoided if prompt notice had been given.
(e)
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of Section 9.6(a), (i) the Seller shall not be required to indemnify under Section 9.6(a) or otherwise (collectively, the “Seller Indemnity Obligations”) under this Agreement unless the aggregate amount of the Seller Indemnity Obligations otherwise payable by the Seller exceeds the Basket Limitation and, in such event, the Seller shall be responsible only for such amount in excess of the Basket Limitation, (ii) in no event shall the liability of the Seller with respect to the Seller Indemnification Obligations exceed in the aggregate the Cap Limitation, and (iii) if prior to the Closing, the Purchaser obtains or has actual knowledge of any inaccuracy or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of the Seller contained in this Agreement (a “Purchaser Waived Breach”) and nonetheless proceeds with and consummates the Closing, then the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived and forever renounced any right to assert a claim for indemnification under this Agreement for, or any other claim or cause of action under this Agreement, at law or in equity on account of any such Purchaser Waived Breach.
(f)
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the covenants contained in this Agreement and the Closing Documents shall survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year and the representations and warranties shall survive the Closing for the Rep Survival Period, unless otherwise provided for in this Agreement (such periods, the “Survival Periods”), at which point each covenant, representation and warranty will expire and be of no force and effect.
(g)
Any claim for indemnification not made by a party on or prior to the last day of the applicable Survival Period shall be irrevocably and unconditionally released and waived; provided, however, that any obligation to indemnify and hold harmless under Section 9.6(a) shall not terminate with respect to any indemnifiable obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) to which the person to be indemnified shall have given notice in accordance herewith before the termination of the applicable Survival Period.
(h)
If the Closing has occurred, the sole and exclusive remedy available to a party in the event of a breach by the other party to this Agreement of any representation, warranty, covenant or other provision of this Agreement or any Closing Document which survives the Closing shall be the indemnifications provided for under this Section 9.6, which indemnification obligations shall survive the Closing indefinitely (subject to Section 9.6(g)).
33 |
(i)
The amount of any obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) for which indemnification is provided under this Section 9.6 shall be net of any amounts actually recovered by the indemnified party under insurance policies with respect to such obligations, claims, losses, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) (net of any expenses the Purchaser and the indemnified parties incurred in connection with such recovery or any other adverse consequence suffered in pursuing such recovery, including any increase in premium). The Purchaser shall use its commercially reasonable efforts (which shall not include commencing litigation) to recover under insurance policies for any Losses under this Agreement. If an indemnified party receives any amounts under applicable insurance policies with respect to an indemnification claim subsequent to an indemnification payment by an indemnifying party with respect to such indemnification claim, then such indemnified party shall promptly reimburse the indemnifying party, up to the amount received by the indemnified party under such policies.
