(d) Insurance Policies. No insurance policies of Seller are to be transferred to Purchaser, and no apportionment of the premiums therefor shall be made.
(e) Net Adjustments. If a net amount is owed by Seller to Purchaser pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be credited against the Purchase Price. If a net amount is owed by Purchaser to Seller pursuant to this Section 9.1, such amount shall be added to the Purchase Price.

(b) Seller’s Closing Costs. Seller shall pay the following costs in connection with the consummation of the Closing: (i) all of the charges and transfer taxes for recording the deeds; (ii) all commissions owed to any broker in accordance with the terms of a separate agreement between Seller and such broker; and (iii) all other charges incurred by the Seller in connection with this Agreement (including, without limitation, the fees and expenses for the Seller’s attorneys and other consultants).
9.3 Survival. Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, the covenants contained in this Article 9 shall survive closing for a period of one year following the Closing Date or such shorter period as may be specified herein and each party’s obligation to pay any applicable closing costs in accordance with Section 9.2 shall survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 10
DAMAGE TO OR CONDEMNATION OF PROPERTY
10.1 Casualty. If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Facility is destroyed or materially damaged by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such fact. In such event, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole but not in part) by giving notice thereof to Seller not later than ten (10) days after receiving
Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until the second Business Day after the expiration of such ten-day period). If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. If less than a material part of the Facility shall be affected or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, there shall be no abatement of the Purchase Price and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to the proceeds, if any, under Seller’s insurance policies covering such Property with respect to such damage or destruction and there shall be credited against the Purchase Price the amount of any applicable deductible.
10.2 Condemnation. If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Facility is taken by eminent domain (or becomes the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole but not in part) by giving notice thereof to Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until the second day after the expiration of such ten-day period). If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations. If less than a material part of the Facility shall be affected or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Facility shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by Seller prior to the Closing) and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Facility or portion thereof.
ARTICLE 11
INDEMNIFICATION AND DEFAULT
11.1 Seller’s Indemnification. Seller will defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless against and in respect of any and all liability, damage, loss, cost, and expenses arising out of or otherwise in respect of: (a) any misrepresentation other than an unintentional mistake that is cured within thirty (30) days; (b) breach of warranty, or non-fulfillment of any agreement or covenant made by Seller in this Agreement; (c) the ownership and/or operation of the Facility prior to the Closing Date; or (d) any and all actions, suits, proceedings, audits, judgments, costs, and legal and other expenses incident to any of the foregoing or to the enforcement of this Section 11.1.
11.2 Purchaser’s Indemnification.

11.3 Default by Seller. If, on or prior to the Closing, Seller shall have made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or if Seller shall fail to perform any of the material covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by Seller, Purchaser may, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, elect to either (a) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit (following which no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations) or (b) pursue a suit for specific performance.
11.4 Default by Purchaser. If, on or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or if Purchaser shall fail to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, may terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty. The parties agree that in the event of such a default, it would be extremely difficult or impossible to determine Seller’s actual damages and that the liquidated damages amount is a reasonable estimate thereof. Following any such termination, no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.
