For the avoidance of doubt, the termination of this agreement resulting from the failure to satisfy any condition precedent set forth in Section 2.02 of this Agreement shall not entitle any indemnification for damages or any other type of claim or compensation among the Parties, except if the unsatisfied condition was not satisfied due to facts attributable to the negligence and/or willful misconduct of either Party.
