Purchaser shall assume responsibility for the payment of all such taxes due and payable in years subsequent to the year of closing.
B. The terms of this Section 12 shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated herein.
13. Brokerage. Seller and Purchaser represent and warrant to each other that they have not engaged the services of any broker in connection with the sale and purchase contemplated by this Agreement. Each party hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other party for any claim (including reasonable expenses incurred in defending such claim) made by a broker, sales agent or similar party claiming to be entitled to a commission in connection with this transaction by reason of the acts of the indemnifying party. The terms of this Section 13 shall survive the closing of the transaction contemplated herein.
14. Remedies.
A. Seller Default. If Seller defaults in the performance of this Agreement, then Title shall promptly refund the Xxxxxxx Money (and all interest) to Purchaser and Purchaser’s sole remedies shall be to elect to either (i) cancel this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in
12
which event Seller shall promptly authorize Title Company to reimburse Purchaser its Xxxxxxx Money in consideration of a quit claim deed to the Premises executed by Purchaser, or (ii) if Purchaser does not cancel this Agreement, Seller acknowledges the Premises are unique and that money damages to Purchaser in the event of default by Seller are inadequate and Purchaser shall have the right to apply for and to receive from a court of competent jurisdiction equitable relief by way of specific performance to enforce performance of the terms of this Agreement, plus reimbursement for costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in the securing of such relief provided under section 16J herein.
B. Purchaser Default. If Purchaser defaults in the performance of this Agreement, Seller’s sole remedies shall be to either (i) cancel this Agreement by delivering written notice of such default to Purchaser (“Seller’s Default Notice”), in which event Purchaser shall have the opportunity to cure such default within thirty (30) days after receipt of Seller’s Default Notice, and if Purchaser fails to timely cure such default after receipt of Seller’s Default Notice, then this Agreement shall be deemed canceled without further action between the parties and Purchaser shall authorize Title to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller as liquidated damages, it being the understanding and agreement of the parties that it would be impractical or extremely difficult to determine the actual damages to Seller in the event of Purchaser’s default, and that the Xxxxxxx Money is a reasonable estimate of the damages which Seller would incur as a result of Purchaser’s default hereunder, or (ii) commence a legal action for specific performance and upon obtaining such a final order, Title shall be authorized to deliver the Xxxxxxx Money to Seller as partial payment of the purchase price, and Seller shall be entitled to reimbursement of costs, including reasonable attorney fees incurred in the securing of such relief as provided under section 16J herein.
15. Escrow. Title is authorized and agrees by acceptance thereof to promptly deposit the Xxxxxxx Money as provided herein and to hold same in escrow and to disburse the same in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The sole duties of Title regarding the Xxxxxxx Money shall be those described herein, and Title shall be under no obligation to determine whether the other parties hereto are complying with any requirements of law or the terms and conditions of any other agreements among said parties. Title may conclusively rely upon and shall be protected in acting upon any written notice, consent, order or other document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties to this Agreement. Title shall have no duty or liability to verify any such written notice, consent, order or other document, and its sole responsibility shall be to act as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Title shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit or proceeding in connection with this Agreement. If Purchaser and Seller execute any separate escrow instructions or an escrow agreement with Title, then in the event of a conflict between the terms of such escrow instructions or escrow agreement and the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control, Title shall also execute this Agreement solely for the purpose of acknowledging its agreement with and understanding of the terms of this Section 15 and the other provisions of this Agreement relative to receipt, escrow, investment and disbursement of the Xxxxxxx Money. Failure of Title to execute this Agreement shall not affect the validity of this Agreement as between Seller and Purchaser.
16. Miscellaneous. The following general provisions govern this Agreement.
A. No Waivers. The waiver by either party hereto of any condition or the breach of any term, covenant or condition herein contained shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any
13
other condition or of any subsequent breach of the same or of any other term, covenant or condition herein contained. Purchaser, in its sole discretion may waive any right conferred upon Purchaser by this Agreement; provided that such waiver shall only be made by Purchaser giving Seller written notice specifically describing the right waived.
