(a) by the mutual written consent of the Buyers and the Sellers;

(b) by the Buyers on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period;

(c) by the Buyers or the Sellers if the other party is in breach of any provision of this Agreement, which breach would give rise to a failure to satisfy any condition set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.2 respectively, and such breach shall not have been cured within ten (10) days of written notice from the terminating party of such breach, provided, that the terminating party is not, on the date of termination, in material breach of any provision of this Agreement; or

(d) by the party (Sellers or Buyers) excused from the obligation to consummate the Purchase if the conditions precedent to such party’s obligation to do so, as described in Section 6.1 or Section 6.2, have not been fulfilled on or prior to the Scheduled Closing Date (or any extension thereof); provided, that the terminating party shall not have breached its obligations hereunder in any manner that shall have contributed to the failure to consummate the Closing by the Scheduled Closing Date (or any extension thereof).

7.13.2 If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.13, all obligations of the parties hereunder shall terminate, except for the obligations which, by their terms, survive termination.

7.13.3 If this Agreement is terminated by the Sellers pursuant to Section 7.13.1(c), or if the conditions to Closing set forth in Section 6.1 are satisfied or waived (other than the failure to close on the Alternative Financing or receive the Xxxxx Fargo Consent pursuant to Section 6.1.5 if Buyers elect to extend the Scheduled Closing Date pursuant to Section 2.3.2) and the Buyers fail to close as required under this Agreement, then, as Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy, Seller may terminate this Agreement and the parties shall be returned to their respective positions as they existed prior to the execution of this Agreement.
