(b) Closing. If Purchaser timely elects to (i) assume such Additional Lease with respect to such Additional Leased Theater and purchase the Additional Personal Property relating thereto and/or (ii) purchase the R&S Shares (as the case may be) as aforesaid, then on a date not later than the earlier to occur of (l) the date set forth in Offer for the closing or (m) forty-five (45) days after the date of ROFR Election Notice, Seller shall (y) assign to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall assume from Seller, all of Seller's rights and obligations under such Additional Lease and Seller shall sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall purchase and accept from Seller, all right, title and interest of Seller in and to the Additional Personal Property relating thereto, and/or (z) sell to Purchaser and Purchaser shall purchase from Seller the R&S Shares, all on the terms and conditions set forth in the ROFR Notice.

If (y) Purchaser shall have failed to procure any such release or commitment to release prior to or contemporaneous with the delivery of the ROFR Election Notice, or if any such landlord shall have failed to provide such release at the closing of the transaction contemplated by such Offer, after having timely delivered its commitment therefor, as provided in clause (i) of the preceding sentence, and (z) Purchaser shall have failed to deliver and caused Guarantor to have delivered to Seller at the closing of the transaction contemplated by such Offer reasonable security as provided in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, then the ROFR Election Notice with respect to such Offer shall be deemed null and void and Purchase shall be deemed to have forever waived its ROFR hereunder as to all Additional Leases (and the Additional Personal Property relating thereto) and the R&S Shares.
24
(d) Failure to Exercise ROFR. If Purchaser elects, or is deemed to have elected, not to (i) assume any Additional Lease and purchase the Additional Personal Property relating thereto and/or (ii) purchase the R&S Shares (as the case may be), with respect to any Offer provided to Purchaser pursuant to Section 10.4(a), then Seller shall thereafter have the right to (y) assign such Additional Lease and sell the Additional Personal Property relating thereto and/or (z) sell the R&S Shares (as the case may be) to the bona fide third party purchaser or any Affiliate thereof.

(c) Exercise of the Right to Purchase. Purchaser may exercise the Right to Purchase at any time during the ROFR/Right to Purchase Term, by the delivery (i) to Seller of (A) written notice of Purchaser's intent so to exercise the Right to Purchase (the "Right to Purchase Exercise Notice"), together with (B) two (2) copies of the Additional Purchase Agreement dated as of the date of the Right to Purchase Exercise Notice and executed by Purchaser, (ii) to the Title Company the xxxxxxx money deposit required under the Additional Purchase Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Related Purchase Agreements Purchaser shall not have the right to exercise its remedies under Section 12.1(a) for a Seller Default, Section 12.1(b) for a default relative to the Westgate Letter Agreement, or Section 9.1(b) for a failure of a Purchaser Closing Condition (a "Purchaser Closing Condition Failure"), unless Purchaser has provided written notice to Seller specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the Seller Default, the default relative to the Westgate Letter Agreement, or the Purchaser Closing Condition Failure (as the case may be), and Seller has not cured such Seller Default, such default relative to the Westgate Letter Agreement, or such Purchaser Closing Condition Failure (as the case may be) within twenty (20) days after Seller's receipt of such notice (the "Seller Cure Period"), in which case the Closing shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of the Seller Cure Period.
Section 12.3 Purchaser's Default. If Purchaser fails to perform any of its other covenants or obligations or if any representation made by Purchaser is untrue under this Agreement or any Related Purchase Agreement in any material respect which breach or default is not caused by a Seller Default (each, a "Purchaser Default"), then Seller, may elect to (i) terminate this Agreement, the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, and, if Seller so elects in its sole and absolute discretion, the Westgate Letter Agreement, by providing written notice to Purchaser, in which case (A) the Xxxxxxx Money shall be disbursed to Seller in accordance with Section 3.2(d), (B) if Seller has elected to terminate the Westgate Letter Agreement, the Westgate Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and (C) the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, or, if Seller has elected to terminate the Westgate Letter Agreement, the Westgate Letter Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, (ii) proceed to Closing, in which case Seller shall be deemed to have waived such Purchaser Default, or (iii) obtain a court order for specific performance with respect to Purchaser hereunder or any Related Purchase Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall have the right to bring an action for damages against Purchaser for Purchaser's breach of its covenants or obligations under Section 15.2. This Section 10.3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement.
28
Section 12.4 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LAFAYETTE PURCHASE AGREEMENT ARE TERMINATED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.3, THE DAMAGES THAT SELLER WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, IF SELLER EXERCISES ITS RIGHT TO TERMINATE PURSUANT TO CLAUSE (I) OF SECTION 12.3, THE PARTIES AGREE THAT SELLER SHALL RETAIN THE XXXXXXX MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES (AND NOT AS A PENALTY) AS SELLER'S REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT IN ADDITION TO THE XXXXXXX MONEY, SELLER SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS OF PURCHASER WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION.
ARTICLE XIII
RISK OF LOSS
Section 13.1 Casualty. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, any Theater (and the Transferred Property related thereto) or any portion thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire or any other casualty (a "Casualty"), Seller shall give written notice of such Casualty to Purchaser promptly after the occurrence of such Casualty.
(a) Material Casualty. If the amount of the repair or restoration of the Theater (and the Transferred Property related thereto) required by a Casualty equals or exceeds twenty-five percent (25%) of the fair market value of the Theater, as determined by mutual agreement of the Parties in their good faith, reasonable judgment (a "Material Casualty") and the Casualty was not caused by Purchaser or its employees or agents, then Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's written notice of such Casualty, (i) to terminate this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement as of the date that is thirty (30) days after Seller's receipt of such notice, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2(e), and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (ii) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, in which case Seller shall (A) provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the applicable insurance deductible and/or self-insured retention, and (2) and the reasonable estimated costs for the repair or restoration of the Theater (and the Transferred Property related thereto) required by such Casualty, and (B) transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all proceeds from all casualty and lost profits insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Theater (and the Transferred Property related thereto), except those proceeds allocable to lost profits and costs actually incurred by Seller for the period prior to the Closing. If Purchaser fails to provide written notice of its election to Seller within such ten (10) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (ii) of this preceding sentence. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of Purchaser's ten (10) day election period, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) day election period.
(b) Non-Material Casualty. In the event of any (i) Casualty which is not a Material Casualty, or (ii) Material Casualty which is caused by Purchaser or its employees or agents,
29
then Purchaser shall not have the right to terminate this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, but shall proceed to Closing, in which case Seller shall (A) provide Purchaser with a credit against the Purchase Price (except if such Casualty is caused by Purchaser, in which case no credit shall apply) in an amount equal to the lesser of: (1) the applicable insurance deductible and/or self-insured retention, and (2) the reasonable estimated costs for the repair or restoration required by such Casualty, and (B) transfer and assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to all proceeds from all casualty and lost profits insurance policies maintained by Seller with respect to the Theater (and the Transferred Property related thereto), except those proceeds allocable to any lost profits or costs actually incurred by Seller for the period prior to the Closing.
(c) Covenants Regarding Existing Casualty at New Iberia Theater. Seller and Purchaser acknowledge that the New Iberia Theater may have been damaged prior to the Effective Date by Hurricane Xxxx. From and after Closing, the Parties agree to reasonably cooperate with one another and their respective consultants and work in good faith to assess the extent of the damage, if any, and the scope of any further restoration with respect to such casualty (beyond the restoration performed by Seller as of the Effective Date), if any, required under the terms of the New Iberia Lease. If the Parties determine, in their good faith reasonable judgment, that further restoration is required under the terms of the New Iberia Lease and that the cost of such restoration would be covered by Seller's existing casualty insurance with respect thereto, then Seller shall use reasonable efforts to submit and prosecute a claim thereunder for the cost of such further restoration and shall turn over any insurance proceeds (which shall be net of any deductible carried by Seller) recovered and actually received by Seller on account thereof in excess of the costs and expenses previously incurred by Seller on account of its restoration efforts with respect to such casualty prior to the Effective Date together with the costs and expenses of submitting and prosecuting such claim, but in no event shall Seller be obligated to expend or invest any sum of money or take any extraordinary actions in connection therewith, unless Purchaser agrees to reimburse Seller for the expenses incurred in connection with the same. In addition to the foregoing, the Purchaser will also receive any portion of Seller's insurance deductible attributable to the New Iberia claim in excess of $25,000. Seller's covenants herein shall not be construed as an assignment of Seller's claim and in no event shall Purchaser have the right to proceed directly against Seller's insurer. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Seller has made no representations or warranties, whether express or implied, regarding Seller's ability to recover or actually collect any such insurance proceeds. Purchaser agrees that Seller shall have no liability whatsoever to Purchaser for its failure to recover or collect any insurance proceeds on account of such casualty. This Section shall survive Closing and the delivery of the Deed.
Section 13.2 Condemnation. If, at any time after the Effective Date and prior to Closing or the earlier termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, any Governmental Authority commences any condemnation proceeding or other proceeding in eminent domain (a "Condemnation") with respect to all or any portion of the real property comprising any Theater (and the Transferred Property related thereto), Seller shall give written notice of such Condemnation to Purchaser promptly after Seller receives notice of such Condemnation. In the event of any such Condemnation, Purchaser shall have the right to elect, by providing written notice to Seller within ten (10) days after Purchaser's receipt of Seller's written notice of such Condemnation, (i) to terminate this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, in which case the Xxxxxxx Money shall be refunded to Purchaser in accordance with Section 3.2(e), and the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement or the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination, or (ii) proceed to Closing, without terminating this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, in which case Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in all proceeds and awards from such Condemnation. If Purchaser fails to provide written
30
notice of its election to Seller within such ten (10) day period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence. If the Closing is scheduled to occur within five (5) Business Days after the expiration of Purchaser's ten (10) day election period, the Closing Date shall be postponed until the date which is five (5) Business Days after the expiration of such ten (10) day election period.
ARTICLE XIV

(a) Survival of Certain Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made (i) by Seller in Section 7.1(d) thru (p), inclusive, shall be deemed (A) if the Closing occurs, to survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months, or (B) if this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement are terminated, not to survive such termination and (ii) by Purchaser in Section 7.2(d) thru (e), inclusive, shall be deemed (A) if the Closing occurs, to survive the Closing for a period of six (6) months, or (B) if this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement are terminated, not to survive such termination. All representations and warranties made (i) by Seller in Section 7.1(a) thru (c), inclusive, shall be deemed (A) if the Closing occurs, to survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year, or (B) if this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement are terminated, not to survive such termination and (ii) by Purchaser in Section 7.2(a) thru (c), inclusive, shall be deemed (A) if the Closing occurs, to survive the Closing for a period of one (1) year, or (B) if this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement are terminated, not to survive such termination. All other representations and warranties made by Seller and Purchaser hereunder (if any) shall be deemed (i) if the Closing occurs, not to survive the Closing, or (ii) if this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement are terminated, not to survive such termination.
(b) Survival of Covenants and Obligations. If this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement are terminated, only those covenants and obligations to be performed by the Parties under this Agreement which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement shall survive such termination. If the Closing occurs, only those covenants and obligations to be performed by the Parties under this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement which expressly survive the Closing shall survive the Closing.
(c) Survival of Indemnification. This Article XIV and all other rights and obligations of defense and indemnification as expressly set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing or termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement.
Section 14.2 Indemnification by Seller. Subject to the limitations set forth in Article V, Sections 14.1, 14.4, 14.5, 14.6, 14.7, 14.8 and any other express provision of this Agreement, Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Purchaser Indemnitee to the extent resulting from the breach by Seller of any of its covenants, obligations, representations, or warranties under this Agreement or the Lafayette Purchase Agreement which expressly survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement.
31
Section 14.3 Indemnification by Purchaser. Subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 14.1, 14.4, 14.5 and 14.6, Guarantor and Purchaser, on a joint and several basis, shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller Indemnitees from and against any Indemnification Loss incurred by any Seller Indemnitee to the extent resulting from (i) any breach by Purchaser of any of its covenants, obligations, representations, or warranties under this Agreement or the Lafayette Purchase Agreement which expressly survives the Closing or termination of this Agreement and the Lafayette Purchase Agreement, and (ii) any Assumed Liabilities.
Section 14.4 Limitations on Indemnification Obligations.
(a) Failure to Provide Timely Notice of Indemnification Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an Indemnitee shall not be entitled to defense or indemnification to the extent the Indemnitee's failure to notify the Indemnitor of the potential claim within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of the potential claim or Indemnification Loss, (i) materially prejudices the Indemnitor's ability to defend against any Third-Party Claim on which such Indemnification Claim is based, or (ii) increases the amount of Indemnification Loss incurred in respect of such indemnification obligation of the Indemnitor.
(b) Effect of Taxes, Insurance or Other Reimbursement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the amount of any Indemnification Loss for which indemnification is provided to an Indemnitee under this Article XIV shall be net of any tax benefits realized or insurance proceeds received by such Indemnitee in connection with the Indemnification Claim, or any other third-party reimbursement. The Indemnitee shall use commercially reasonable efforts to realize any tax benefit, collect any insurance proceeds or obtain any third-party reimbursement with respect to such Indemnification Claim, and if such tax benefits, insurance proceeds or reimbursement are realized or obtained by the Indemnitee after the Indemnitor has paid any amount in respect of an Indemnification Loss to the Indemnitee, the Indemnitee shall reimburse the amount realized or collected by the Indemnitee up to the amount received from the Indemnitor for such Indemnification Loss.
Section 14.5 Indemnification Procedure.
(a) Notice of Indemnification Claim. If any of the Seller Indemnitees or Purchaser Indemnitees (as the case may be) (each, an "Indemnitee") is entitled to defense or indemnification under Section 14.2 or 14.3 or any other express provision in this Agreement (each, an "Indemnification Claim"), the Party required to provide defense or indemnification to such Indemnitee (the "Indemnitor") shall not be obligated to defend, indemnify and hold harmless such Indemnitee unless and until such Indemnitee provides written notice to such Indemnitor promptly after a Third-Party Claim is made on which such Indemnification Claim is based, describing in reasonable detail such facts and circumstances or Third-Party Claim with respect to such Indemnification Claim.
(b) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Not Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim does not involve a Third-Party Claim and is disputed by the Indemnitor, the dispute shall be resolved by litigation or other means of alternative dispute resolution as the Parties may agree in writing.
(c) Resolution of Indemnification Claim Involving Third-Party Claim. If the Indemnification Claim involves a Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right (but not the obligation) to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, at its cost and expense, and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim, provided that (i) the counsel for the Indemnitor who shall conduct the defense of the Third-Party Claim shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee (unless selected by Indemnitor's insurance company), (ii) the Indemnitee, at its cost and expense, may
32
participate in, but shall not control, the defense of such Third-Party Claim, and (iii) the Indemnitor shall not enter into any settlement or other agreement which requires any performance by the Indemnitee, other than the payment of money which shall be paid by the Indemnitor. The Indemnitee shall not enter into any settlement agreement with respect to the Indemnification Claim, without the Indemnitor's prior written consent, which consent may be withheld in Indemnitor's sole and absolute discretion. If the Indemnitor elects not to assume the defense of such Third-Party Claim, the Indemnitee shall have the right to retain the defense of such Third-Party Claim and shall use good faith efforts consistent with prudent business judgment to defend such Third-Party Claim in an effective and cost-efficient manner and the Indemnitor shall reimburse the Indemnitee for the reasonable actual out-of-pocket attorneys fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense.
Section 14.6 Exclusive Remedy for Indemnification Loss. Except for claims based on fraud or willful misconduct, the indemnification provisions in this Article XIV shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of any Indemnitee with respect to any claim for Indemnification Loss arising from or in connection with this Agreement.
Section 14.7 RELEASE OF SELLER FOR VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW. PURCHASER (FOR ITSELF AND ALL PURCHASER INDEMNITEES) DOES HEREBY FOREVER RELEASE AND DISCHARGE THE SELLER INDEMNITEES FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS THAT PURCHASER OR ANY PURCHASER INDEMNITEE MAY HAVE AGAINST ANY SELLER INDEMNITEE RESULTING FROM VIOLATIONS OF APPLICABLE LAW INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION VIOLATIONS OF THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990 AND ALL ENVIRONMENTAL CLAIMS AND ENVIRONMENTAL LIABILITIES, WHETHER NOW KNOWN OR UNKNOWN TO PURCHASER; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH RELEASE AND DISCHARGE SHALL NOT APPLY TO ANY INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION OF SELLER TO THE EXTENT RESULTING FROM A BREACH OF SELLER'S REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 7.1(G).

Section 15.4 Assignment. Purchaser shall not assign this Agreement or any interest therein to any Person, without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
