DEFAULTS
SECTION 9.1. Seller’s Remedies for Buyer Defaults. Prior to entering into this transaction, Buyer and Seller have discussed the fact that substantial damages will be suffered by Seller if Buyer shall default in its obligation to purchase the Membership Interests under this Agreement when required hereunder; accordingly, the parties agree that a reasonable estimate of
28
Seller’s damages in such event is the amount of Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (the “Seller Liquidated Damages Amount”). If Buyer defaults in its obligation to consummate the Closing as and when required under this Agreement, then Seller shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy (but without limiting any rights or remedies that Seller may have to receive the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount, as described below), to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, whereupon Buyer shall pay the Seller Liquidated Damages Amount to Seller, and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (y) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Buyer and, as applicable, the Buyer Parties or (z) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Buyer shall default in its obligation to effectuate the Octavius Call Right Transfer in accordance with Section 6.8(a) and it is within Buyer’s or its affiliates control to so effectuate the Octavius Call Right Transfer, and such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after written notice from Seller of such default, then (i) the parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Seller’s damages in such event is the amount of Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($50,000,000.00) (the “Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount”), and (ii) without limiting any other rights or remedies that Seller may have under this Agreement, upon written notice from Seller to Buyer identifying such breach and requesting payment of the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount, Buyer shall pay the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount to Seller. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Seller receive the Seller Liquidated Damages Amount if Seller receives the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount. On the Effective Date, Buyer shall cause the Buyer Guarantor to execute and deliver the PSA Buyer Guaranty with respect to Buyer’s obligations under this Section 9.1.
SECTION 9.2. Buyer’s Remedies for Seller Defaults. Prior to entering into this transaction, Buyer and Seller have discussed the fact that substantial damages will be suffered by Buyer if Seller shall default in its obligation to sell the Membership Interests under this Agreement when required hereunder; accordingly, the parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Buyer’s damages in such event is the amount of Twenty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00) (the “Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount”). If Seller defaults in its obligation to consummate the Closing as and when required under this Agreement, then Buyer shall have the right to elect, as its sole and exclusive remedy (but without limiting any rights or remedies that Buyer may have to receive the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount, as described below), to (x) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, whereupon Seller shall pay the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount to Buyer, and thereafter, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for other obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement, (y) seek specific performance of this Agreement against Seller and, as applicable, the Seller Parties or (z) waive the default or breach and proceed to close the Transaction. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if Seller shall default in its obligation to effectuate the Octavius Put Right Transfer in accordance with Section 6.8(b) and it is within Seller’s or its affiliates control to so effectuate the Octavius Put Right Transfer, and such default is not cured within sixty (60) days after written notice from Buyer of such default, then (i) the parties agree that a reasonable estimate of Buyer’s damages in such event is the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount, and (ii) without limiting any other rights or remedies that Buyer may have under this Agreement, upon written notice from Buyer to Seller identifying such breach and requesting payment of the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount, Seller shall pay the Specific Performance Liquidated
29
Damages Amount to Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall Buyer receive the Buyer Liquidated Damages Amount if Buyer receives the Specific Performance Liquidated Damages Amount. On the Effective Date, Seller shall cause the Seller Guarantor to execute and deliver the PSA Seller Guaranty with respect to Seller’s obligations under this Section 9.2.
ARTICLE 10
CASUALTY/CONDEMNATION
SECTION 10.1. Right to Terminate. If, after the Effective Date, (a) any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or (b) any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed, Seller shall notify Buyer in writing of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If the Property is the subject of a Major Casualty/Condemnation that occurs after the Effective Date, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller no later than the date (the “Casualty Notice Date”) that is the earlier of (a) July 12, 2018 or (b) five (5) Business Days after Seller notifies Buyer of such Major Casualty/Condemnation; provided that the commencement of the Closing Period shall be extended (but not beyond July 12, 2018), if necessary, to provide sufficient time for Buyer and Seller to close. The failure by Buyer to terminate this Agreement by the Casualty Notice Date shall be deemed an election not to terminate this Agreement. If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section 10.1, the parties shall have no further rights or obligations hereunder except for obligations which expressly survive the termination of this Agreement. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Major Casualty/Condemnation” shall mean (i) any casualty, condemnation proceedings, or eminent domain proceedings if the portion of the Property that is the subject of such casualty or such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings has a value in excess of Thirty Eight Million Sixty Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/Dollars ($38,062,500.00), as reasonably determined by a third party contractor or architect selected by Seller and reasonably acceptable to Buyer, or (ii) any uninsured casualty which CPLV Lease Tenant is not otherwise required to restore pursuant to the Original CPLV Lease and which Seller does not agree to cause CPLV Lease Tenant to agree to repair or restore in a manner acceptable to Buyer.
SECTION 10.2. Allocation of Proceeds and Awards. If, after the Effective Date, any portion of the Property is taken by condemnation or eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending taking), or any portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed and this Agreement is not terminated as permitted pursuant to the terms of Section 10.1, then this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the parties hereto shall consummate the Closing upon the terms set forth herein. Any awards or proceeds received from the condemning authority or Seller’s insurance company, as the case may be (the “Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds”) shall be paid in accordance with the terms of the Octavius Lease and the CPLV Lease, and any claims of the landlord under the Octavius Lease in respect to any such awards or proceeds and the related insurance policies shall be assigned to New Property Owner at Closing, and in all events the Purchase Price shall not be adjusted as a result of any such casualty or condemnation; provided, that nothing in this paragraph is intended to vitiate Buyer’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the terms of Section 10.1 in connection with a Major Casualty/Condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in the event a Major Casualty/Condemnation shall have occurred prior to the Closing and the parties elect to close in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then the applicable parties under the Octavius Lease and the CPLV Lease will have their respective rights and obligations with respect to such Major Casualty/Condemnation (and any Casualty/Condemnation Proceeds) that they would have under the terms of the Octavius Lease and the CPLV Lease.
30
SECTION 10.3. Insurance. Seller shall (and, with respect to each day of the Closing Period, Seller shall cause New Property Owner to) maintain the property insurance coverage currently in effect for the Property (to the extent being maintained by landlord under the Octavius Lease, as opposed to the tenant thereunder), or comparable coverage, through the Closing Date.
