DEFAULT AND TERMINATION

SECTION 12.1 The Seller’s Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Seller prior to the Closing if (i) any of the conditions precedent to the Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 5.1 or elsewhere in this Agreement have not been satisfied or waived by the Seller on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) there is a material breach or default by the Buyer in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Seller pursuant to subsection 12.1(a), this Agreement shall be null and void and of no further force or effect and neither party shall have any rights or obligations against or to the other except (i) for those provisions hereof which by their terms expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and (ii) as set forth in subsection 12.1(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated by the Seller prior to the Closing for a failure of (i) the condition precedent set forth in subsection 5.1(f) and provided the Buyer is not in default of its obligation as set forth in Section 4.5 or (ii) the condition set forth in subsection 5.1(c) and provided any matters arising under such subsection 5.1(c) is not based upon any act or omission by the Buyer or any of its affiliates, the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to the Buyer as the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and upon such disbursement the Seller and the Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination.

(c) In the event the Seller terminates this Agreement as a result of a breach or default by the Buyer in any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall immediately disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to the Seller, and upon such disbursement the Seller and the Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination. The Buyer and the Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical and/or extremely difficult to fix or establish the actual damage sustained by the Seller as a result of such default by the Buyer, and agree that the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable approximation thereof. Accordingly, in the event that the Buyer breaches this Agreement by defaulting in the completion of the purchase of the Asset, the Xxxxxxx Money shall constitute and be deemed to be the agreed and liquidated damages of the Seller, and shall be paid by the Escrow Agent to the Seller as the Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder; provided, however, the foregoing shall not limit the Buyer’s obligation to pay to the Seller all reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of the Seller to enforce the provisions of this Section 12.1 or limit the Buyer’s indemnification obligations owed to the Seller pursuant to this Agreement which survive a termination of this Agreement. The payment of the Xxxxxxx Money as liquidated damages is not intended to be a forfeiture or penalty, but is intended to constitute liquidated damages to the Seller.

SECTION 12.2 The Buyer’s Termination.

(a) This Agreement may be terminated by the Buyer prior to the Closing if (i) any of the conditions precedent to the Buyer’s obligations set forth in Section 5.2 or specifically set forth elsewhere in this Agreement have not been satisfied or waived by the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date or (ii) there is a material breach or default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b) In the event this Agreement is terminated by the Buyer pursuant to subsection 12.2(a)(i), the Escrow Agent shall disburse the Xxxxxxx Money to the Buyer as the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy, and upon such disbursement the Seller and the Buyer shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive such termination.

(c) If there is a material breach or default by the Seller in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement, the Buyer, at its option and as its sole and exclusive remedy, may either (i) terminate this Agreement, direct the Escrow Agent to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to the Buyer and retain the Xxxxxxx Money, at which time this Agreement shall be terminated and of no further force and effect except for the provisions which explicitly survive such termination, or (ii) specifically enforce the terms and conditions of this Agreement provided such action seeking specific performance is initiated within 90 days of the scheduled Closing Date. The Buyer and the Seller hereby acknowledge and agree that it would be impractical and/or extremely difficult to fix or establish the actual damage sustained by the Buyer as a result of such default by the Seller, and agree that the remedy set forth in clause (i) above is a reasonable approximation thereof. Accordingly, in the event that the Seller breaches this Agreement by defaulting in the completion of the sale, and the Buyer elects not to exercise the remedy set forth in clause (ii) above but instead elects the remedy set forth in clause (i) above, the delivery of the Xxxxxxx Money to the Buyer shall be the Buyer’s sole and exclusive remedy. The Buyer agrees to, and does hereby, waive all other remedies against the Seller which the Buyer might otherwise have at law or in equity by reason of such default by the Seller.
