ARTICLE 11
DEFAULT; TERMINATION RIGHTS; INDEMNITY
11.1 Termination; Default by Seller. If the Closing does not occur because of the
failure of a condition precedent under Section 8.1, Purchaser may terminate this Agreement without
liability to either party except as otherwise provided herein. If (a) the Seller defaults under
this Agreement (a “Seller Default”) or (b) the Purchaser has confirmed in writing that the
conditions to its obligation to close in Section 8.1 of this Agreement have been satisfied
(or that it has agreed to waive such conditions) and a Closing fails to occur on or prior to the
Outside Date for any reason other than a Purchaser Default or the failure of any of those
conditions precedent to the Seller’s obligations set forth in Section 8.2 other than
8.2(D) which if not the cause of termination as provided therein, shall be waived or
satisfied by Closing as provided therein, or (c) Seller is prevented from consummating the sale of
the Interest and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a result of a condition
in Section 8.5, then any one, and only one, of the following shall be available to the
Purchaser as its sole and exclusive remedy: (i) to terminate this Agreement by giving the Seller
written notice of such election and a five (5) business day cure period after the Seller’s receipt
of such written notice, prior to or at the Closing (which five (5) business day period shall, if
necessary, automatically extend the Closing to the expiration of such five (5) business day period)
whereupon, the Escrow Agent shall promptly return to the Purchaser the Deposit and Seller shall
promptly reimburse the Purchaser for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Purchaser in
connection with this Agreement and the Purchase of the Interest (not to exceed $400,000.00), and
the Parties shall have no further rights or liabilities under this Agreement except for those
provisions which specifically provide that they survive the termination of this Agreement; or (ii)
with respect to a default contemplated in (a) or (b) of this Section 11.1, seek specific
performance of the Seller’s obligations hereunder, provided that the Purchaser must file a suit for
specific performance in the appropriate jurisdiction within ninety (90) days from the earlier of
(x) the Outside Date, or (y) the date of delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller of written notice
of such default.
- 13 -
11.2 Termination; Default by the Purchaser. If the Closing does not occur because of
the failure of a condition precedent under Section 8.2, (other than 8.2(D) which if not the cause
of termination, as provided therein, shall be satisfied or waived as provided therein) the Seller
may terminate this Agreement, without liability to either party except as otherwise provided
herein. If (a) the Purchaser defaults under this Agreement (a “Purchaser Default”) or (b) the
Seller has confirmed in writing that the conditions to its obligation to close in Section
8.2 of this Agreement have been satisfied (or that it has agreed to waive such conditions) and
a Closing fails to occur on or prior to the Outside Date for any reason other than a Seller Default
or the failure of any of those conditions precedent to the Purchaser’s obligations set forth in
Section 8.1(A) (but only to the extent such failure is not due to the Purchaser’s failure
to fulfill any of its obligations to close the purchase of the 10.16% Interest on or before the
Closing Date), Section 8.1(B), Section 8.1(C), Section 8.1(D) and
Section 8.1(E) of this Agreement, or (c) Purchaser is prevented from consummating the
purchase of the Interest and the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement as a result of a
condition in Section 8.5, then the Seller may, after written notice to the Purchaser of
such default and a five (5) business day cure period after the Purchaser’s receipt of such written
notice prior to or at the Closing (which five (5) business day period shall, if necessary,
automatically extend the Closing to the expiration of such five (5) business day period), as its
sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Purchaser in which
event the Seller shall receive the Deposit as liquidated damages for such default, the amount of
which Deposit the Purchaser and the Seller agree is not punitive or a penalty but is just, fair and
reasonable, and the Escrow Agent shall immediately pay the Deposit to the Seller. Upon payment of
the Deposit to the Seller, the Parties shall have no further rights or liabilities under this
Agreement except for those provisions which specifically provide that they survive the termination
of this Agreement.
11.3 Seller Fiduciary Sale Right.
A. If the general partner of the Seller shall have received an Acquisition Proposal that (a)
includes a higher cash price to Seller than as set forth in this Agreement and (b) the general
partner believes is otherwise superior in the aggregate to the terms contained in this Agreement,
including closing conditions, time to close and probability of closing, and the general partner of
the Seller has determined that it intends to cause the Seller to enter into a binding written
agreement for a transaction on such superior terms, then the Seller may, after five (5) business
days advance written notice to the Purchaser, terminate this Agreement in which event the Escrow
Agent shall promptly return to the Purchaser the Deposit and the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser
by wire transfer, official bank check, or other immediately available funds, a break-up fee in the
amount of $1,603,483.20 as liquidated damages (the “Break-Up Fee”). The Purchaser and the Seller
agree that the amount of the Break-Up Fee is not punitive or a penalty but is just, fair and
reasonable. Upon payment of the Break-Up Fee to the Purchaser, the Parties shall have no further
rights or liabilities under this Agreement except for those provisions which specifically provide
that they survive the termination of this Agreement.
B. In consideration of the right of Seller to accept an Acquisition Proposal as provided in
Section 11.3(A) above (and regardless of whether the Seller receives and accepts an
Acquisition Proposal) and unless and until Purchaser breaches its representation in Section
6.5 or 8.4(A) of this Agreement, Seller hereby waives any and all right of First Offer
(as defined in the
- 14 -
LLC Agreement) and First Refusal (as defined in the LLC Agreement) concerning the 10.16%
Interest contained in the LLC Agreement.
11.4 Termination by Mutual Consent. This Agreement may be terminated at any time
prior to the Closing, by mutual written consent of the Parties, in which case the Parties shall
jointly instruct the Escrow Agent to return the Deposit to the Purchaser and the Parties shall have
no further rights or liabilities under this Agreement except for those provision which specifically
provide that they survive the termination of this Agreement.
11.5 Indemnity.
A. Effective upon and following the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser, its
Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives
(each a “Purchaser Indemnified Party”) and hold each of them harmless against any out-of-pocket
damages, costs, liabilities, losses, judgments, taxes, penalties, fines, expenses or other costs,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, costs of defense and costs of collection but not lost
profits, consequential damages or punitive damages (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by the
Purchaser Indemnified Parties with respect to: (i) any breach of any of the representations and
warranties made by the Seller in this Agreement; and (ii) any breach of the covenants and
agreements made by the Seller in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents; provided, however,
that (x) no amounts shall be payable by the Seller unless and until the aggregate amount otherwise
payable by the Seller in the absence of this clause exceeds the sum of Ninety Thousand Dollars
($90,000) (the “Deductible”), in which event the Seller shall be liable to the Purchaser for the
amount (if any) in excess of the Deductible up to a maximum amount not to exceed twenty percent
(20%) of the Closing Payment; provided, however, with respect to any defect in Seller’s title to
the Interest or liens or claims upon the Interest at the time of Closing, Seller shall be liable to
the Purchaser for damages not to exceed the amount of the Closing Payment. All representations and
warranties shall terminate one (1) year after Closing if no written claim has been made.
B. Effective upon and following the Closing, the Purchaser shall indemnify the Seller, its
Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives
(each a “Seller Indemnified Party”) and hold each of them harmless against any out-of-pocket
damages, costs, liabilities, losses, judgments, taxes, penalties, fines, expenses or other costs,
including reasonable attorney’s fees, costs of defense and costs of collection but not lost
profits, consequential damages or punitive damages (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by the Seller
Indemnified Parties with respect to: (i) any breach of any of the representations and warranties
made by the Purchaser in this Agreement; and (ii) any breach of the covenants and agreements made
by the Purchaser in this Agreement or any of the Closing Documents; provided, however, that (x) no
amounts shall be payable by the Purchaser unless and until the aggregate amount otherwise payable
by the Purchaser in the absence of this clause exceeds the sum of the Deductible, in which event
the Purchaser shall be liable to Seller for the amount (if any) in excess of the Deductible up to a
maximum amount not to exceed twenty percent (20%) of the Closing Payment. All representations and
warranties shall terminate one (1) year after Closing if no written claim has been made.
- 15 -
11.6 Indemnification Procedures. Upon the occurrence of any event giving rise to a
claim for indemnification (an “Indemnification Claim”) under any provision of this Agreement or any
Closing Document, the Party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify
the other Party (the “Indemnitor”) of such Indemnification Claim and provide the Indemnitor with
copies of any documents describing or otherwise bearing on the subject matter of such
indemnification obligation; provided, however, that the failure to notify Indemnitor shall not
relieve Indemnitor from any liability which Indemnitor may have under the Indemnification Claim
except to the extent that it has been materially prejudiced by such failure. Indemnitor shall be
entitled to participate in any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect
of the Indemnification Claim and, to the extent that it wishes, assume the defense thereof with
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.
The Indemnitor will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in any
pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of the Indemnification Claim
unless, (i) Indemnitor shall have given the Indemnified Party reasonable prior written notice
thereof and shall have obtained an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from all
liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding, or (ii) Indemnitor reaffirms in
writing its indemnity obligations hereunder regardless of Applicable Laws to the contrary. As long
as Indemnitor has complied with its obligations to defend and indemnify, Indemnitor shall not be
liable for any settlement made by the Indemnified Party without the consent of Indemnitor (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
