At or prior to the Closing, Seller shall (1) remove and discharge all monetary liens specifically secured by the Real Property and the Personal Property that have been voluntarily created or assumed by Seller or that arise as a result of Seller's failure to pay such amounts that become due in the Ordinary Course of Business, including but not limited to, its indebtedness or obligations in accordance with normal terms, taxes, assessments and governmental charges imposed on its income or the Transferred Assets, or lawful claims to labor, materials or supplies (“Monetary Encumbrance”); and (2) take such steps that are commercially reasonable and necessary to discharge or remove all other Encumbrances which do not constitute Permitted Encumbrances or Monetary Encumbrances that can be discharged or removed at an expense to Seller.
7.2(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, within ten (10) days after receipt of the Objection Notice, Seller shall notify Purchaser as to whether Seller will be able to cure and/or remove Title Objections (other than Monetary Encumbrances which are to be removed by Seller at or before Closing pursuant to Section 7.2(a)) (“Seller's Notice”). If Seller indicates in the Seller’s Notice that it will not be able to so cure and/or remove such Title Objections then, subject to the next sentence, Purchaser shall be entitled, at its option, either (i) to terminate this Agreement (so long as such notice of termination is given to Seller within five (5) days of Purchaser's receipt of Seller's Notice) and to receive a full refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, or (ii) to purchase the Transferred Assets subject to such Title Objections (other than the Monetary Encumbrances ) (in which event such Title Objections, to the extent not fully discharged and removed by Seller's expenditures, shall be deemed to be Permitted Encumbrances). The preceding sentence notwithstanding, with respect to any Encumbrance that is not a Permitted Encumbrance which appears of record or arises after the date of the Title Commitment, or in the event that Seller notifies Purchaser of its intention to cure and/or remove Title Objections but fails to do so on or before the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have the options specified in the preceding sentence except that the option to terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit may be exercised at any time up to and including the Closing Date, and in addition to the refund of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, Seller shall reimburse Purchaser with the reasonable costs of the Purchaser's due diligence (upon presentation of usual and customary receipts), including but not limited to the Title Commitment, the Survey, the Phase I Report the Phase II Report, if any, and reasonable attorneys’ fees relating to the review thereof in an amount not to exceed $100,000.00.

8.1 Risk of Loss.
The risk of loss or damage by fire or other casualty or cause to the Transferred Assets until the Closing Date shall be upon Seller. If, on or before the Closing Date, all or any of the Transferred Assets are Damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser. If the resulting Damage to the Transferred Assets is greater than $500,000, taken in the aggregate, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivery of notice of termination to Seller within 10 days of date of delivery of Seller’s notice of such casualty. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of such 10-day period, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In such instance, at the Closing, Seller shall credit against the Purchase Price an amount equal to the damage to the Transferred Assets based on a reasonable estimate to rebuild, restore or correct the Transferred Assets to their condition immediately prior to the casualty, as determined by an independent, certified engineer or other qualified professional acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (the “Independent Engineer”). If the resulting Damage to the Transferred Assets is $500,000 or less, taken in the aggregate, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. In such instance, at the Closing, Seller shall credit against the Purchase Price an amount equal to the damage to the Transferred Assets based on a reasonable estimate to rebuild, restore or correct the Transferred Assets to their condition immediately prior to casualty, as determined by the Independent Appraiser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 8.1, if Seller is required under its loan covenants to commence rebuilding, restoring or otherwise correcting the Transferred Assets prior to the Closing, any costs or expenses incurred by Seller in rebuilding, restoring or correcting the Transferred Assets prior to the Closing shall be applied against and reduce the amount to be credited to Purchaser at Closing pursuant hereto. All costs of the Independent Engineer shall be borne equally by Seller and Purchaser. Seller shall retain all rights to receive insurance proceeds paid in respect of any such casualty and, post-closing, shall have no Liability to Purchaser associated with completion of the rebuilding, restoration or correction of the Transferred Assets.
8.2 | Risk of Condemnation Loss. |
8.2(a) If, on or before the Closing Date, all or any of the Transferred Assets are taken as a result of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser. If the resulting condemnation would materially and adversely affect the ability to operate the Transferred Assets, taken as a whole, in the same manner as the Transferred Assets were operated prior to the condemnation, taken as a whole, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement by delivery of notice of termination within ten days of the date of delivery of Seller’s notice of such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. If Purchaser does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of such 10‑day period, or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings do not materially and adversely affect the ability to operate the Transferred Assets, taken as a whole, in the same manner as the Transferred Assets were operated prior to the condemnation, taken as a whole, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
8.2(b) At the Closing, Seller shall credit against the Purchase Price an amount equal to the net proceeds, if any, received by Seller from such condemnation. If, as of the Closing Date, Seller has not received any such condemnation proceeds, then the parties shall nevertheless consummate the transactions described in this Agreement on the Closing Date, without any deduction for such condemnation proceeds, and Seller shall at the Closing assign to Purchaser all of Seller’s rights, if any, to the condemnation proceeds and to all other rights or claims arising out of or in connection with such condemnation.

Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser and assist Purchaser in obtaining Governmental Authorizations necessary for Purchaser to own and operate the Facilities from the State of Alabama, provided, however, that in such assistance Seller shall not be required to spend any money, or to do anything that would jeopardize Seller’s or any of its Affiliates’ ability to have Governmental Authorizations outstanding in favor of Seller or its Affiliates.

Seller recognizes that the covenants in this Section 8.10, and the territorial, time and other limitations with respect thereto, are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the acquisition of the Transferred Assets by Purchaser, and agrees that such limitations are reasonable with respect to its activities, business and public purpose. Seller agrees and acknowledges that the violation of the covenants or agreements in this Section 8.10 would cause irreparable injury to Purchaser and that the remedy at law for any violation or threatened violation thereof would be inadequate and that, in addition to whatever other remedies may be available at law or in equity, Purchaser shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting bond. The parties hereto also waive any requirement of proving actual damages in connection with the obtaining of any such injunctive or other equitable relief.
It is the intention of each party hereto that the provisions of this Section 8.10 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible under the laws and the public policies of the State of Alabama and of any other jurisdiction in which enforcement may be sought, but that the unenforceability (or the modification to conform with such laws or public policies) of any provisions hereof shall not render unenforceable or impair the remainder of this Agreement. Accordingly, if any term or provision of this Section 8.10 shall be determined by a court or other tribunal to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the offending provisions and to alter the balance of this Agreement in order to render the same valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permissible as aforesaid.
8.11 | Compliance with Conditions. |
Each party hereto agrees to cooperate fully with each other party, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the conditions precedent for which such party is responsible to be fulfilled. Each party hereto further agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts, and act in good faith, to consummate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated in this Agreement as promptly as possible; provided however, that the parties acknowledge that the Purchaser may terminate this Agreement at its sole discretion pursuant to the terms of Section 3.3.

(i) The party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") must give the other party (the "Indemnifying Party"), notice of any such Losses promptly after the Indemnified Party receives notice thereof; provided that the delay or failure in giving such notice shall not affect the rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party shall have suffered actual damage or Loss by reason of such delay or failure. The notice of any Loss shall include a description of the Loss in reasonable detail.
(ii) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to undertake, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, the defense of such Losses at the Indemnifying Party's risk and expense.
(iii) In the event that the Indemnifying Party shall elect not to undertake such defense, or, within a reasonable time after notice from the Indemnified Party of any such Losses, shall fail to defend, the Indemnified Party (upon further written notice to the Indemnifying Party) shall have the right to undertake the defense, compromise or settlement of such Losses, by counsel or other representatives of its own choosing, on behalf of and for the account and risk of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the right of the Indemnifying Party to assume defense of such Losses at any time prior to settlement, compromise or final determination thereof). In such event, the Indemnifying Party shall pay to the Indemnified Party, in addition to the other sums required to be paid hereunder, the costs and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with such defense, compromise or settlement as and when such costs and expenses are so incurred.
(iv) Anything in this Section 13.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) if there is a reasonable possibility that Losses may materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party other than as a result of money damages or other money payments for which it would be entitled to indemnification hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its own cost and expense, to participate in the defense, compromise or settlement of the Losses, (b) the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the Indemnified Party's written consent, settle or compromise any Losses or consent to entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such Losses in form and substance satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and (c) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any Losses, the Indemnified Party, by counsel or other representative of its own choosing and at its sole cost and expense, shall have the right to consult with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel or other representatives concerning such Losses and the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party and their respective counsel or other representatives shall cooperate with respect to such Losses and (d) in the event that the Indemnifying Party undertakes defense of any Losses, the Indemnifying Party shall have an obligation to keep the Indemnified Party informed of the status of the defense of such Losses and furnish the Indemnified Party with all documents, instruments and information that the Indemnified party shall reasonably request in connection therewith.
(v) In the event that an Indemnified Party has a good faith basis for a claim for indemnification which does not involve a claim against it by a third party (a "Direct Claim"), the Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party in writing of such Direct Claim with reasonable promptness, specifying, to the extent known, the nature, circumstances and amount of such Direct Claim (a "Direct Claim Notice"), including with particularity the specific representation and warranty or covenant and agreement alleged to have been breached. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it disputes an Indemnified Party's right of indemnification with respect to a particular Direct Claim, the parties shall use their reasonable efforts to negotiate a resolution of such dispute promptly. Except to the extent of the limitations on indemnification set forth in this Article 13, nothing in this Section 13.2(d)(v) shall be deemed to prevent any Indemnified Party from initiating litigation under this Agreement with respect to any Direct Claim disputed by the Indemnifying Party for the purpose of establishing the Indemnified Party's right to indemnification hereunder.
13.2(e) Limitation of Indemnification. No party shall be entitled to indemnification from any other party hereunder until such time that the claims subject to indemnification equal or exceed, in the aggregate, the sum of Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) (the “Basket Amount”) and then only to the extent of any excess above the Basket Amount.

A party's right to seek indemnification hereunder shall survive the Closing Date; provided that claims for indemnification relating solely to breaches of representations or warranties shall be subject to the time limitations described in Section 13.1. As to claims for indemnification relating solely to breaches of representations and warranties, the Indemnifying Party shall have no Liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder unless the Indemnified Party delivers to the Indemnifying Party notice of the claim within the applicable time limitation described in Section 13.1.

13.3 Indemnification as Exclusive Remedy. Except for claims for fraud or claims for injunctive or equitable relief for which monetary damages covered by an indemnity set forth herein are not available, the indemnification provided in this Section 13 shall be the sole and exclusive post-closing remedy available to the parties to this Agreement under contract, tort or any other legal theory for any Breach of any representations, warranty, covenant or agreement by or on behalf of the Indemnifying Party, or otherwise arising out of the transactions described in this Agreement.
