A. Seller and Purchaser agree that, in the event of a default by either party, the other party shall, prior to taking any such action as may be available to it, provide written notice to the defaulting party stating the default and giving the defaulting party seven (7) days to cure. If the default shall not be cured within the cure period aforesaid, then the party giving such notice shall be permitted to avail itself of any remedies to which it may be entitled under this Agreement.
B. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, in the event the purchase and sale of the Property pursuant to this Agreement is not closed and consummated through default by Purchaser, then Seller shall retain the Xxxxxxx Money, as applicable, as the full and only liquidated damages for such default of Purchaser and as the sole remedy of Seller for any such default by Purchaser, it being acknowledged and agreed that Seller’s actual damages would be difficult (if not impossible) to ascertain, and thereupon neither of the parties hereto shall have any rights, duties,
-12-
obligations, or liabilities hereunder whatsoever. Purchaser agrees to cooperate fully in relation to Seller obtaining such Xxxxxxx Money. In the event of a default by Seller hereunder, Purchaser may, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, as its sole and exclusive right and remedy against Seller on account of such default, either: (i) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of all of the Xxxxxxx Money and the Xxxxxxx Money Interest, and recover from Seller the amount of Purchaser’s actual, reasonable, and substantiated out-of-pocket expenses arising out this Agreement not to exceed Forty Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00); or (ii) pursue an action against Seller for specific performance. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except as provided in Paragraph 26(b)(i), Purchaser hereby expressly waives any rights to seek or pursue money damages against Seller under any circumstances. The terms of this Paragraph shall survive the termination of this Agreement notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary.
27. Professional Fees. In the event of the bringing of any action or suit by a party hereto against another party hereunder by reason of any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or provisions on the part of the other party rising out of this Agreement, then in that event the prevailing party shall be entitled to have and recover of and from the other party all costs and expenses of the action or suit, including actual attorneys’ fees, accounting and any other professional fees resulting therefrom.
28. Waivers. No waiver or consent permitted or contemplated by this Agreement shall be effective or binding on any of the parties hereto unless the same is in writing and delivered and received from one party to the other.
29. Possession. Possession of the Property shall be delivered by Seller to Purchaser on the Closing Date.
30. Survival. The representations, warranties, and agreements which are contained in this Agreement shall survive Closing for a period of ninety (90) days. No claim for a breach of any representation or warranty of Seller shall be actionable or payable if the breach in question results from or is based on a condition, state of facts or other matter which was known to Purchaser prior to Closing. In no event shall the liability of Seller for a breach of any representations, warranties or agreements of Seller exceed One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000).
31. Execution. Purchaser is executing this Agreement as of the date described below next to Purchaser’s signature (hereinafter referred to as the “Purchaser Execution Date”). In the event that Purchaser does not actually receive in hand from Seller a fully executed original or copy of this Agreement within thirty (30) days from the Purchaser Execution Date, then the Purchaser’s offer described in this Agreement shall be deemed rescinded and revoked without the necessity of further documentation and this Agreement shall be void.
32. Patriot Act. Purchaser hereby makes the representations, warranties and covenants that as to the “Patriot Act” as set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and made a part hereof.
33. Cooperation. Subject to the requirements of Paragraph 7 hereof, Seller and Purchaser both hereby agree that prior to Closing, from time to time and upon the reasonable request of the other party, they will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed,
