If within such 20-day period, Seller fails to have each such unpermitted exception removed, insured over or corrected as aforesaid, Purchaser may elect within five (5) business days after such twenty (20) day period, as its sole and exclusive remedy in such event, to either (i) terminate this Agreement whereupon this Agreement shall be null and void and of no

further force or effect (except for any obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing), or (ii) elect to accept title to the Property subject to such objectionable exception (with no reduction in the Purchase Price) whereupon such exception(s) which had been objected to shall be deemed approved and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions. If Purchaser fails to make either such election, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected option (ii). Any matters disclosed by either the Title Commitment or the Survey and not objected to by Purchaser on or before the Title Objection Date shall be deemed approved by Purchaser and shall constitute Permitted Exceptions.

Seller and Purchaser hereby acknowledge and agree that Seller’s obligation to sell the Property to Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and Purchaser’s corresponding obligation to purchase the Property from Seller in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, is expressly contingent upon the prior closing on the sale by Purchaser of all of the following properties (collectively, the “Additional Properties”): (i) those certain tracts of real estate commonly known as 0000 Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx and 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Elk Grove Village, Xxxx County, Illinois, and (iii) that certain tract of real estate commonly known as 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx.

13. BROKERAGE.

The obligations of the parties under this Section 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Closing.

14. DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if after Seller defaults under this Agreement, at Purchaser’s option, Purchaser may elect as its sole remedy (i) to terminate this Agreement, whereupon this Agreement shall, without further action of the parties, become null and void and neither party shall have any rights or obligations under this Agreement with no reduction in the Purchase Price, except for any obligations that expressly survive the termination of this Agreement and/or the Closing, or (ii) Purchaser may xxx Seller for specific performance of the sale of the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

Seller and Purchaser acknowledge and agree that (1) the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of and bears a reasonable relationship to the damages that would be suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from sale and the failure of Closing to occur due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement; (2) the actual damages suffered and costs incurred by Seller as a result of such withdrawal and failure to close due to a default of Purchaser under this Agreement would be extremely difficult

acquire the property may be conveyed by Purchaser to an accommodation entity, all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to be made by Purchaser, shall survive any conveyance to an accommodation party, shall continue in favor of and in order of the benefit of Seller and shall be enforceable by Seller against Purchaser, as though the Property had been conveyed directly by Seller to Purchaser, all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and (v) the Purchaser’s Exchange shall in no way reduce, abridge or modify any of Purchaser’s obligations or duties, or any of Seller’s right or remedies hereunder.
