representation nor warranty as to whether the Purchased Assets contain hazardous
materials and substances, and that Purchaser will be responsible for its own
environmental investigation of the Purchased Assets and will, subject to
Seller's representations and warranties herein, rely solely on such
investigation. Purchaser agrees not to bring an action against Seller for and
agrees to release and waive any claim or cause of action of any nature
whatsoever which it may now have or have in the future against Seller resulting
from hazardous materials or substances (as those terms may be defined by
applicable local, state and federal law) located on, at or under the Purchased
Assets, other than for any claim or cause of action based upon fraud or
intentional misrepresentation of Seller. Purchaser shall fully release Seller
from any such claim, cause of action or liability resulting from any hazardous
or toxic materials or substances on, at or under the Purchased Assets, other
than for any deliberate act, fraud or gross negligence by Seller or its agents.
The provisions of this paragraph shall survive Closing and delivery of the deeds
and other conveyance documents.

Clearview. Purchaser and Clearview are corporations, duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and each
have the authority to own, lease and operate its respective properties and to

and Seller. Seller shall remain responsible and liable only for obligations
arising or having accrued under the Space Leases prior to the date of Closing,
except for those related to compliance with laws and repair or maintenance of
the property subject to the Space Leases.
9. PURCHASER'S INSPECTION OF THE PURCHASED ASSETS.
A. Delivery of Documents. Seller shall provide copies of
the following documents, if any, in Seller's possession relating to the
Purchased Assets, for Purchaser's review on or before the dates specified below:
(1) Within 10 days after the Acceptance Date, a
copy of the Lease, the Space Leases and any and all amendments thereto or
notices thereunder and all prior title work, surveys and deeds obtained by
Seller related to the Theatres.

(5) Within 30 days after the Acceptance Date,
Seller shall make reasonable efforts to obtain the Approval of the Sublease and
the Consents to the assignment to Purchaser and the Release of Seller under the
Lease from the landlord of the Leasehold Theatre; provided, however, that it
shall not be an event of default by Seller or Purchaser if such Consent and
Release cannot be obtained. Purchaser agrees to fully cooperate with Seller's
efforts to obtain the Consent and Release of Seller under the Lease, which
cooperation may include, without limitation, providing Purchaser's financial and
theatre operation history information to the landlords of the Leasehold Theatre
and the Sublease Theatre.
(6) Within 10 days of the Acceptance Date, Seller
shall deliver those health department certificates and certificates of occupancy
in its possession in connection with the operation, use and occupancy of the
Purchased Assets.
B. Purchaser's Access to the Assets. Seller covenants and
agrees that from and after the Acceptance Date until Closing or earlier
termination of this Agreement, Purchaser and its contractors, agents and/or
representatives, at the sole expense of Purchaser, may enter upon any portion of
the Theatres (Purchaser acknowledges that its access to the
-11-
Leasehold Theatre may be subject to consent of the landlord under the Lease)
from time to time during reasonable business hours, without any disruption of
the normal conduct of Seller's business in the Theatres, and with two business
days' prior written notice to Seller for the purposes of inspections, making
surveys and tests, staking and obtaining topographical information, including
environmental testing and examination of title and operating condition of the
Purchased Assets. All such inspections and tests shall be at Purchaser's sole
cost and expense, which shall not include any overhead, wages or other costs
incurred by Seller. Purchaser will, in the event that this Agreement does not
close, restore the Purchased Assets to substantially the same condition as
existed prior to such activities on the Purchased Assets with respect to any
change to such premises made by Purchasers or Purchasers' agents. Purchaser and
Clearview hereby agree to indemnify Seller and hold Seller harmless from any and
all losses, liabilities, claims, expenses, costs, damages and mechanics' liens
which may be brought or which may be filed against the Purchased Assets or any
portion thereof by reason of the performance of any of the acts of Purchasers or
their agents herein mentioned, and upon Seller's election to defend any action
brought by reason of any of the acts herein mentioned with counsel reasonably
satisfactory to Seller and reimburse Seller for reasonable attorneys' fees and
costs incurred by Seller by reason of any such action. This paragraph shall
survive Closing.
10. TERMINATION BY PURCHASER. The Purchaser may, in its sole
discretion, terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Inspection
Period, by written notice to Seller, for any reason whatsoever or for no reason.
If Purchaser so terminates this Agreement within such time period, then the
Initial Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall be paid to Seller and both parties shall
thereafter be released from all further obligations under this Agreement except
for 9B. Any failure by Purchaser to deliver its written notice of termination to
Seller within the time period specified above shall be deemed to be acceptance
by Purchaser of all such matters and its desire to proceed to Closing. It is
additionally provided that Purchaser may, upon its written election made prior
to the expiration of the Inspection Period, terminate this Agreement as to the
Bronxville Theatre, the Mamaroneck Playhouse, the Xxxxx Theatre and the
Larchmont Theatre, but proceed to Closing as to the acquisition of Cinema 304 in
New City, in which event the Purchase Price shall be amended to be one million
four hundred thousand ($1,400,000.00) dollars and the parties shall thereafter
proceed to Closing pursuant to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement
as they relate to Cinema 304.
11. SELLER'S OBLIGATIONS PRIOR TO CLOSING. From and after the
date hereof and until the Closing Date, unless Purchaser shall otherwise consent
in writing, Seller shall conduct the affairs of the Theatres as follows:
A. Ordinary Course; Compliance. The Theatres shall be
conducted only in the ordinary course and consistent with past practice. Seller
shall maintain the Purchased Assets consistent with past practice and shall
comply in a timely fashion with all material provisions of all Contract Rights.
Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Theatre
organization intact and keep available the services of its present employees and
preserve the good will of its patrons and others having business relations with
it. Seller shall maintain in full force and effect its policies of insurance,
subject only to variations required by the ordinary
-12-
operations of the Theatres, or else shall obtain, prior to the lapse of any
policy, substantially similar coverage with insurers of recognized standing.
B. Prohibited Transactions. Except in the ordinary course
of its business, Seller shall not, with respect to the Theatres; (i) amend or
terminate any Contract Right or enter into additional Contract Rights that are
not terminable on reasonably short notice; (ii) make any changes, substitutions
or replacements to the Personal Property or any other material change to the
Theatres to the extent any of the above causes a material diminishment in the
value of the Purchased Assets; or (iii) take any action or omit to take any
action that will cause a breach or termination of any Contract Rights, other
than termination by fulfillment of the terms thereunder.
X. Xxxx Releases. Seller shall have obtained, by Closing,
at its sole cost and expense, a full release of the Purchased Assets on terms
acceptable to Seller in its sole discretion, related to the theatre at
Bronxville, New York from the lien of that certain Mortgage, dated as of October
1, 1988 (the "Mortgage"), made by Seller for the benefit of Connecticut Bank and
Trust Company, National Association and Xxxx Xxxxx as Trustees, as spread by a
Spreader and Release Agreement dated May 1, 1990 between those parties, together
with the termination of UCC-1 Financing Statements filed simultaneously
therewith. Seller's failure to obtain the release of Mortgage shall not be a
default under this Agreement but shall entitle Purchaser to a refund of its
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, unless Purchaser proceeds to closing on Cinema 304.
12. FULFILLMENT OF AGREEMENTS. Except as otherwise provided in
this Agreement, each party hereto shall use commercially reasonably efforts to
cause all of those conditions to the obligations of the other that are not
beyond its reasonable control to be satisfied on or prior to the Closing and
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take, or to cause to be taken, all
action and to do, or cause to be done, all things necessary, proper or advisable
to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
13. EMPLOYMENT. Seller agrees to pay, perform and discharge any
and all severance payments, payroll and employment related Liabilities with
respect to employees of Seller at the Theatres accruing up to the close of
business on the date immediately preceding the Closing Date except that
Purchaser agrees that Seller intends to give its employees at least two weeks'
notice prior to the Closing Date and Purchaser acknowledges that with respect to
any employees of Seller that it hires and employs after the Closing Date,
Purchaser will honor and pay all sick time and vacation, as well as honor the
seniority status of such employees. Purchasers shall have the right, but not the
obligation, to offer employment (under such terms as Purchasers deem appropriate
in their sole discretion) to any of the employees of Seller who are employed at
the Theatres. Seller shall remain liable for all Liability for all workers'
compensation and disability of or with respect to all of Seller's employees
attributable to injuries, claims, conditions, events and occurrences occurring
prior to the Closing Date.
14. TRANSITIONAL MATTERS. Seller shall reasonably cooperate with
and assist Purchasers and its authorized representatives in order to provide, to
the extent reasonably
-13-
agreeable to Seller, an efficient transfer of control of the Purchased Assets
and the Real Property and to avoid any undue interruption in the activities and
operations of the Theatres and the Real Property following the Closing Date
provided that Seller is reimbursed for its costs incurred post-closing,
including wages and overhead. Seller shall not cause any utilities to be
disconnected until the Purchasers shall have established an account for such
utility in Purchasers' own name unless same has not occurred by Closing. Seller
shall assist in transferring to each Purchaser the telephone numbers for each
Theatre location.
15. BOOKS AND RECORDS. Seller shall not destroy or dispose of any
books, records or files relating to the Theatres to the extent that such
information is reasonably necessary for Purchasers' audit of Seller's financial
statements for the Theaters for 1994, 1995 and 1996 until Purchasers have
completed such audit and for the period of time thereafter that Seller would
ordinarily maintain those records but no longer than two years. Seller shall
permit and cooperate and assist Purchasers, at Purchaser's expense and at no
cost to Seller, in the preparation of an audit of the financial statements for
the Theaters for calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996. Seller shall have no
liability or responsibility for such audit.
16. EVIDENCE OF TITLE.
A. Condition of Title. Seller shall deliver to
Purchasers, in the manner allocated in Paragraph 2, a limited warranty xxxx of
sale for all of the Personal Property in form and substance satisfactory to
Purchasers and Seller, free and clear of all Encumbrances arising by, through or
under Seller, other than Permitted Exceptions. Purchasers may obtain, at their
expense, such title insurance and surveys as Purchasers deem appropriate. Seller
shall deliver to CCC Realty Bargain and Sale deeds with covenants against
grantor's acts to the Real Property, free and clear of all Encumbrances arising
by, through or under Seller, other than Permitted Exceptions.
B. Defects of Title. If prior to the last day of the
Inspection Period, Purchaser asserts the existence of any encumbrance,
encroachment on or defect in or objection to title to any portion of the Fee
Theatres based on Purchaser's examination of the Title Commitment and the Title
Documents, or any other information received by Purchaser (other than a title
exception described on Exhibit F, in which case notice of a title defect must be
given by Purchaser to Seller within 10 days after the Acceptance Date) (any of
which is called a "Defect in Title"), Purchaser shall give Seller written notice
of such Defect in Title and Seller shall have 30 days after receipt of such
notice to elect to either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to
Purchaser, or (ii) remove, or otherwise cure to Purchaser's satisfaction, the
Defect in Title, and if necessary the date of Closing shall be extended for such
30-day period to allow Seller to so remove or cure the Defect in Title. In the
event Seller fails, refuses or is unable to remove or cure the Defect in Title,
then Purchaser shall have the right to either: (i) waive such Defect in Title,
override Seller's election to terminate and proceed to Closing or (ii) terminate
this Agreement on or before the date of Closing, by delivering written notice of
such to Seller as provided in Section 9 above. In the event Purchaser so
terminates this Agreement, Purchaser shall receive a refund of any refundable
portion of its Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, only if the Defect in Title is a material
-14-
defect in title that prevents the use of the Fee Theatres for its intended
purpose, and both parties shall be released from all further obligations under
this Agreement.
C. Permitted Exceptions. "Permitted Exceptions" shall
mean, with respect to the Fee Theatres, the liens for unpaid, but not yet due
real estate taxes and assessments, the exceptions to title described on the
attached Exhibit F, which will be supplemented during the Inspection Period, and
all exceptions, encumbrances, easements, reservations, rights-of-way, covenants
and conditions of record as of the Acceptance Date and continuing as of the
Closing Date except those liens, claims, pledges, mortgages and other monetary
encumbrances arising by, through or under Seller. "Permitted Exceptions" shall
mean, with respect to the Leasehold Theatres, the liens for unpaid, but not yet
due real estate taxes and assessments, and all exceptions, encumbrances,
easements, reservations, rights-of-way, covenants and conditions of record as of
the Acceptance Date and the Closing Date. "Permitted Exceptions" shall mean,
with respect to the Personal Property, the Encumbrances of record, as of the
Acceptance Date, which continue on the Closing Date, except those Encumbrances
arising by, through or under Seller, but including any landlord's lien imposed
by the landlord under the Lease, if any, and including the lien for unpaid but
not yet due personal property taxes.
D. Change in Title. In the event any supplement to a
title commitment obtained by Purchasers discloses any material change to the
Permitted Exceptions or Purchaser otherwise obtains notice of any change or
addition to the Permitted Exceptions on or before the date of Closing, other
than changes caused by Purchaser (the "Additional Exception"), then Seller may,
at Seller's sole election either: (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice
to Purchaser, or (ii) reduce the Purchase Price for the Purchased Assets by an
amount mutually agreed to by the parties that would be necessary to satisfy the
Additional Exception (provided that Purchaser is willing to close subject to
such Additional Exception with such reduction in price), or (iii) remove the
Additional Exception. In the event the Additional Exception cannot be corrected
or cured on or before the Closing, Seller may extend the date of Closing for a
time period not to exceed 60 days in order to correct or cure such matter. If
Seller does not elect to correct or cure the Additional Exception or if such
Additional Exception cannot be corrected or cured within the 60-day extension of
the Closing Date, then Purchaser shall have the right to either: (i) waive any
such Additional Exception and elect to close under this Agreement with a
diminution in the Purchase Price equal to the amount the parties mutually agree
would be required to satisfy any lien or encumbrance or to correct or cure such
Additional Exception, or (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written
notice to Seller on or before the date of Closing (or as extended). In the event
Purchaser so terminates this Agreement, Purchaser shall receive a prompt refund
of its Xxxxxxx Money Deposit, only if the Additional Exception is a material
defect in title that prevents the use of the property for its intended purpose,
and the parties shall be relieved of all further obligations under this
Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall be obligated to cure or
remove any Additional Exception intentionally created by Seller.
17. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CLOSING. The obligations of the
respective parties to close the purchase of the Purchased Assets will be subject
to the following conditions:
-15-
A. Seller's Conditions. Seller will not be obligated to
close the purchase of the Purchased Assets unless (i) Purchaser has complied
with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to be met prior to
Closing, has delivered to Seller all funds, instruments, and documents required
to be deposited by Purchaser in connection with the Closing pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement, and all of the representations and warranties of
Purchaser and Clearview contained in this Agreement remain true and correct in
all material respects on and as of the Closing Date; (ii) Seller has received,
prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, any required consents by the
landlord or other third parties to the assignment of the Lease and other
material agreements relating to the operation of the Theatres (the "Consents")
and has received executed release of Seller's obligations under the Lease by the
landlord of the Leasehold Theatre (the "Release"), which Release shall be in a
form satisfactory to Seller; subject, however, to the following paragraph; (iii)
Seller has obtained, prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period,
landlord's approval of the Sublease ("Approval"); (iv) Seller has obtained at
Closing the Lien Release of the Bronxville Theatre under the Indenture of
Mortgage, on terms and conditions satisfactory to Seller; and (v) Purchaser
proceeds to Closing on all five Theatres or just Cinema 304, as provided for in
Paragraph 10. Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Seller shall
undertake to provide to Purchaser a letter from the mortgagee indicating that it
will release the Bronxville Theatre from the Indenture of Mortgage and under
what conditions that release will be given. Seller may at any time at or prior
to Closing waive any one or more of the preceding requirements by written notice
to Purchaser.
If the Consents to assignment of the Lease have been
obtained from the landlord of the Leasehold Theatre, but the Release of Seller
has not been obtained at the time of Closing as provided in clause (ii) above,
then such Release requirement shall be deemed waived by Seller, and the parties
shall proceed to Closing; provided, however, that the conditions set forth below
in this paragraph are satisfied. In the event a Release of Seller's obligations
under the Lease cannot be obtained from the landlord of the Leasehold Theatre
prior to Closing, then Purchaser agrees to (a) not assign or sublet such Lease
without the prior written consent of Seller in its sole discretion, (b) not
exercise any option to extend the term of the Lease without Seller's reasonable
prior written consent (and further provided that, in that event, Purchaser shall
make further efforts, in a commercially reasonable manner, to obtain the
Release), (c) operate the Leasehold Theatre in a manner consistent with the
Lease, (d) observe all of the covenants under the Lease and perform all of the
tenant's obligations thereunder in accordance with the terms of the Lease, (e)
indemnify and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, losses,
damages, costs and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and legal
assistants' fees and expenses) arising out of the Lease for the Leasehold
Theatre after the date of Closing; and (f) not commit any act that would
jeopardize Seller's security interest. In the event that Purchaser fails to
observe any of the covenants contained in this paragraph or is in default (after
all applicable cure periods have expired under the Lease) under the terms of the
Lease of the Leasehold Theatre (the "Defaulted Theatre"), or under the
Assignment, Consent and Estoppel Agreement for the Defaulted Theatre in a form
to be agreed upon by the parties and executed at the Closing (the "Assignment,"
which shall include a collateral assignment, security agreement and UCC-1
Financing Statement), then Seller may pursue its remedies against Clearview
pursuant to the Guaranty of the Lease given under 24B hereof and may, without
any obligation, perform Purchasers' obligations and covenants under the Lease of
such Defaulted Theatre, and Seller shall
-16-
be able to repossess the Defaulted Theatre and dispossess Purchaser and any
other permitted assignees, subtenants, licensees or parties in possession, and
Purchaser will be liable for any damages, costs and expenses, suffered by Seller
as to such Defaulted Theatre (including, but not limited to, attorneys' and
legal assistants' fees and expenses but excluding consequential damages) and the
cost of any premium for any bond required in connection with an injunction
brought to enforce Seller's remedies under this paragraph. The Assignment shall
provide that Seller shall not exercise its rights to repossess the Defaulted
Theatre unless Clearview has defaulted for the payment of money under its
Guaranty hereunder or if Purchaser defaults under the Lease by failing to
operate the Defaulted Theatre as a theatre on a continuous basis. In the event
the Release is obtained subsequent to Closing, the Assignment and UCC-1 will be
terminated, and the Guaranty shall be released as to the Xxxxx Theatre.
B. Purchaser's Conditions. Purchaser will not be
obligated to close the purchase of the Purchased Assets unless (i) Seller has
complied with all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to be met prior
to and at the Closing, and has delivered to Purchaser all instruments and
documents required to be delivered by Seller in connection with the Closing
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (ii) Seller has obtained a release of
the Bronxville Theatre under the Indenture of Mortgage and the Purchased Assets
will be free of all other Encumbrances other than the Permitted Exceptions on
terms and conditions satisfactory to Seller prior to Closing; (iii) Seller has
obtained the consent of the landlord to the assignment of the Lease; (iv) Seller
has obtained the consent of the landlord to the Sublease; (v) Seller shall have
obtained prior to Closing a letter of Non-Applicability with respect to the
Leasehold Theatre subject to the Lease under the New Jersey Site Recovery Act
(PL 1993, ch. 39); (vi) each of the representations and warranties of Seller
contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects
on and as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as though such
representations and warranties had been made on, as of and with reference to the
Closing Date; and (vii) no statute, regulation or order of any governmental body
shall be in effect from and after the Inspection Period that restrains or
prohibits the transactions contemplated hereby or that would, after Closing,
limit or adversely affect Purchasers' ownership of the Purchased Assets in a
manner different from Seller's ownership thereof, and there shall not have been
any threatened, nor shall there be pending, any action or proceeding by or
before any governmental body challenging the lawfulness of or seeking to prevent
or delay any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or seeking
monetary or other relief by reason of the consummation of any such transactions.
Purchaser may at any time at or prior to Closing waive any of the preceding
requirements by written notice to Purchaser.
18. CLOSING.
A. Date, Time, and Place. Closing will take place by mail
or at such location as agreed to by the parties, after all conditions precedent,
as set forth in Section 17 have been fully satisfied or waived by such party,
provided that the parties shall use all reasonable efforts to close by the date
that is 120 days from the Acceptance Date (the "Closing Date"). In the event
Purchaser desires to extend the Closing Date, not to exceed an additional 90
days, then Purchaser shall on or before the initial Closing Date, deposit with
Seller an additional deposit of
-17-
$75,000 (the "Additional Xxxxxxx Money Deposit"), which shall be non-refundable
in all events except (i) in the event of a Seller's default as provided for in
Section 23B or (ii) in the event of the termination of this Agreement pursuant
to Sections 16B or 16D, or (iii) the failure to occur of the conditions set
forth in Section 11C in which event or events, the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall
be promptly refunded to Purchasers, without set-off of any kind. Purchaser
acknowledges and agrees that the Additional Xxxxxxx Money Deposit shall, if this
transaction is consummated, be applied toward the Purchase Price at Closing.
The transactions consummated at Closing, when effected,
will be deemed to be effective as of the close of business on the date of
Closing except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement. All action

sales taxes arising out of the sale and assignment of the Purchased Assets to
Purchaser shall be divided and paid in equal shares by Purchaser and Seller.

income tax or in any judicial proceeding that is in any way inconsistent with
the allocation agreed upon pursuant to this Section 18G, and that it will
prepare and file, promptly as and when due, all forms of returns required to be

Purchased Assets are damaged by fire, vandalism, acts of God or other casualty
or cause, so that the use for which Purchaser intends the Purchased Assets is
materially and adversely impaired, Seller shall, prior to Closing, give
Purchaser notice of any such damage. In any such event, Purchaser shall have the
option of (a) taking the Purchased Assets as it is without any reduction to the
Purchase Price, but with the insurance proceeds applicable to the Purchased
Assets, if any, or the right to receive the same, subject to the terms of the
Lease, if applicable, or (b) terminating this Agreement and both parties shall
be released from all further obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser

21. CONDEMNATION. If prior to Closing any governmental or other
entity having condemnation authority institutes an eminent domain proceeding or
takes any steps preliminary thereto to condemn any material portion of the
Purchased Assets such that the operation of any of the Purchased Assets will be
materially, adversely affected, Purchaser will have the right to terminate this
Agreement upon notice to Seller, and both parties shall be released from all
further obligations under this Agreement. If Purchaser does not so terminate
this Agreement, Purchaser shall proceed to Closing, without any reduction to the
Purchase Price, and Seller agrees to assign to Purchaser at the Closing,
Seller's rights to any compensation or damages relating to such taking,
excluding any amounts applicable to Seller's trade fixtures, equipment and
personal property.
22. BROKERAGE. The parties acknowledge that no real estate or
other broker is entitled to any commission as a result of the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, other than Xxxxx X. Xxxxx of First New York
Realty Co., Inc., who shall be entitled to a commission paid by Seller and equal
to 3% of the Purchase Price under the terms of a separate agreement. In the
event that any other claim for a broker's fee or real estate commission is
asserted, the party against whom the claim is asserted shall indemnify and hold
harmless the other party from any and all claims, losses, damages, or expenses
of any nature whatsoever arising out of said claim, including, but not limited
to, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
23. FAILURE TO CLOSE.
-21-
A. Purchaser's Default. If Purchaser, in default of its
obligations under this Agreement, fails to perform any of its material
obligations contemplated by this Agreement, Seller's exclusive remedy will be to
terminate this Agreement, and retain the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit received by
Seller up to that point as liquidated damages.
B. Seller's Default. If Seller, in default of its
obligations hereunder, fails to perform any of the material obligations
contemplated by this Agreement, Purchaser's exclusive remedies will be, in the
alternative, to either (i) terminate this Agreement, receive a refund of the
Xxxxxxx Money Deposit and recover from Seller its actual out-of-pocket costs
associated with this Agreement, for reimbursement of actual out of pocket costs,
limited to environmental review, survey, title work and the costs of any
applications or fees to governmental authorities, not to exceed $50,000, and
both parties shall be released from all further obligations under this
Agreement; or (ii) to seek specific performance. Purchaser shall have no other
remedies at law or in equity.
C. Attorneys' Fees. In the event of litigation arising
out of any alleged default or breach of this Agreement, the prevailing party
shall be entitled to recover all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in the
prosecution or defense of such litigation (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' and legal assistants' fees and costs). For purposes of
this Section, "prevailing party" shall include a party who withdraws or moves to
dismiss a claim in consideration for payment received, performance owed, or
other consideration in substantial satisfaction of the claim withdrawn or
dismissed.
24. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. All
representations and warranties made by any party in this Agreement or pursuant
hereto shall survive the Closing for a period of one year, except for Paragraphs
7A (which shall be merged into the Deeds) and 7B, concerning which Purchaser may
elect to obtain title insurance.
A. Indemnification by Seller. Subsequent to the Closing
hereunder, Seller shall indemnify, defend, save and hold Purchasers and their
officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates (collectively, "Purchasers
Indemnitees") harmless from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes
of action, assessments, losses, damages, deficiencies, Liabilities, costs and
expenses (including reasonable legal fees, interest, penalties, and all
reasonable amounts paid in investigation, defense or settlement of any of the
foregoing but excluding any Liability for lost profits or consequential damages
(collectively, "Purchasers Damages") asserted against, imposed upon, resulting
to, required to be paid by, or incurred by any Purchasers Indemnitees, directly
or indirectly, in connection with, arising out of, resulting from, or which
would not have occurred but for, (i) an intentional misrepresentation of any
representation or warranty made by Seller in this Agreement (for the period of
survival described above), and (ii) any Liabilities Not Assumed.
B. Indemnification by Purchaser and Clearview. Subsequent
to the Closing hereunder, Purchasers and Clearview shall indemnify, defend, save
and hold Seller and its officers, directors, employees, agents and affiliates
(collectively, "Seller Indemnitees") harmless
-22-
from and against all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments,
losses, damages, deficiencies, Liabilities, costs and expenses (including
reasonable legal fees, interest, penalties, and all reasonable amounts paid in
investigation, defense or settlement of any of the foregoing but excluding any
Liability for lost profits (collectively, "Seller Damages") asserted against,
imposed upon, resulting to, required to be paid by, or incurred by any Seller
Indemnitees, directly or indirectly, in connection with, arising out of,
resulting from, or which would not have occurred but for, (i) an intentional
misrepresentation of any representation or warranty made by Purchasers in this
Agreement (for the period of survival described above) or in any certificate or
document furnished pursuant hereto by Purchasers, (ii) any Contract Rights
(other than in respect of any breach or noncompliance therewith prior to the
Closing); (iii) a breach by CCC Larchmont under the Sublease; and (iv) in the
event that the Release of Seller described in Section 17 above is not obtained,
a breach by CCC Xxxxx of any of the payment and performance obligations imposed
by the Lease; the obligations of CCC Xxxxx and CCC Larchmont under the Lease and
Sublease, respectively, being specifically and unconditionally guaranteed by
Clearview hereunder, said guaranty being absolute, present and continuing and in
no way contingent upon any attempt to collect from or enforce any obligations
first from CCC Xxxxx or CCC Larchmont or any other condition of contingency.
Said guaranty shall be effectuated by a separate guaranty to be executed by
Clearview at Closing, in a form to be mutually agreed upon by the parties prior
to Closing (the "Guaranty"). Nothing shall discharge this guaranty liability
until all obligations of CCC Xxxxx as assignee under the Lease and CCC Larchmont
under the Sublease have been performed in full and all sums due thereunder paid
in full, or until the Release is obtained.
25. BULK SALES LAW. Purchaser and Seller hereby waive compliance
with the provisions of any bulk sales law which may apply to the sale of the
Purchased Assets under this Agreement; provided, however, that Seller shall pay
and discharge when due or contest or litigate all claims of creditors which may
be asserted against Purchaser or the Purchased Assets by reason of such
non-compliance and to indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from and against any
and all such claims from obligations arising prior to the Closing Date; and
further, Seller shall promptly take all necessary action to remove any liens or
encumbrance which are placed on the Purchased Assets as a result of such
non-compliance with applicable bulk sales laws.
26. FILM BOOKING. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller may own or
operate other theatres in competition with the Theatres, and Purchaser shall
have no claim, and agrees to waive and release Seller from and against any and
all claims with respect to the operation of such other theatres, including any
claim that the selection of motion pictures or other attractions for such other
theatres are being booked in a manner as to give preference or advantage to such
other theatres operated by Seller.
