Buyer for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder by reason of any breach

any
change that (i) occurs between the Effective Date and the Closing Date, and
(ii)

the
reasonable control of Seller to prevent. The occurrence of a change
in a representation or warranty which is permitted hereunder or is beyond
the
reasonable control of Seller to prevent shall, if materially adverse to Buyer,
constitute the non-fulfillment of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1.1
hereof. If, despite changes or other matters described in such

have any Liability to Seller for, or be deemed to be in default hereunder
by
reason of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
8
hereof which results from any change that (i) occurs between the Effective
Date
and the Closing Date and (ii) is either expressly permitted under the terms
of
this Agreement or is beyond the reasonable control of Buyer to

of the conditions set forth in Section 5.4.5 hereof. If, despite
changes or other matters described in such certificate, the Closing occurs,
Buyer’s representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement shall be
deemed to have been modified by all statements made in such

breach or default (or deemed default as provided in the last sentence of
either

obligations, representations or warranties under this Agreement, then the
non-defaulting party may elect, by written notice to the defaulting party
and to
Escrow Holder, to terminate Escrow and this Agreement, and the Master Purchase
Agreement shall govern the disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money Deposit as provided
therein. Such termination shall be effective five (5) days after

is
prevented from having performed by reason of the defaulting party’s breach or
default; and (ii) the defaulting party has not cured the default and the
