(b) Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deposit the sum of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($ 100,000) (the “Deposit”), with Purchaser’s title company identified in § 4 below, which will act as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).

If the transaction contemplated herein should fail to close for any reason other than Purchaser’s default and failure to cure that default hereunder, the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, should Purchaser not provide written notice to Seller on or before the last day of the Feasibility Period affirmatively stating that it desires to proceed to Closing (the “Affirmative Notice”), this Agreement shall automatically terminate, the Deposit shall be refunded to the Purchaser, and neither party will thereafter have any further liability to the other (except for liabilities which expressly survive termination).

Upon any such termination the Purchaser shall pay to Seller the sum of One Hundred Dollars ($100), in consideration of Seller’s agreement to enter into this Agreement subject to the Feasibility Period, and Purchaser shall return to Seller all items received by Purchaser pursuant to § 3 (a) hereof (which shall be a condition precedent to the return of the Deposit), the Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to the Purchaser, and the parties hereto shall be released from any further liabilities or obligations hereunder (except for any liability of Purchaser for indemnification under § 3 (b) above or a party under § 8 below).
