MISCELLANEOUS

13.1 Risk of Loss.  Seller agrees to give Buyer prompt notice of any fire or other casualty affecting the Property or of any actual or threatened (to the extent that Seller has current actual knowledge thereof) taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Property.  If before Closing, there shall occur:

(a) damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty if damaged to the extent of more than thirty percent (30%) of the Purchase Price and, in connection therewith, Seller shall repair such damage and the Closing Date shall be extended by one day for each day it takes Seller to make such repair, not to exceed sixty (60) days; or

(b) the taking or condemnation of all or any portion of the Property; which would materially interfere with the present use of such Property as determined by Buyer in its reasonable business discretion;

then, in such event, Buyer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof delivered to Seller within ten (10) days after Buyer has received notice from Seller.  If Buyer does not so timely elect to terminate this Agreement, then the Closing shall take place as provided herein and there shall be assigned to Buyer at the Closing all interest of Seller in and to any insurance proceeds or condemnation awards payable to Seller on account of that event, less sums which Seller incurs before the Closing to repair any of the damage. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty is thirty percent (30%) of the Purchase Price or less, and, in connection therewith, Seller shall repair such damage and the Closing Date shall be extended by one day for each day it takes Seller to make such repair, not to exceed sixty (60) days, then Buyer shall be obligated to proceed to close on the purchase of the Property.

13.2 Construction.  The terms “Seller” and “Buyer” whenever used in this Agreement shall include the permitted assigns of the respective parties hereto.  Whenever used, the singular number shall include the plural and the plural the singular, and the use of any gender shall include all genders.  The term “including” as used herein shall in all instances mean “including, but not limited to.”  The headings in this Agreement are intended solely for convenience of reference and shall be given no effect in the interpretation of this Agreement.  This Agreement and any related instruments shall not be construed more strictly against one party than against the other by virtue of the fact

13.3 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which will constitute the same agreement.

13.4 Severability and Waiver.  Invalidation of any one section or provision of this Agreement by judgment or court order shall in no way affect any other section or provision.  Failure of any party to this Agreement to insist on the full performance of any of its provisions by the other party (or parties) shall not constitute a waiver of such performance unless the party failing to insist on full performance of the provision declares in writing signed by it that it is waiving such performance.  A waiver of any breach under this Agreement by any party, unless otherwise expressly declared in writing, shall not be a continuing waiver or waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or other provision of this Agreement.  

13.5 Governing Law; Venue.  The laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia (without regard to conflicts of law) shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement.  On any litigation arising out of or under this Agreement and/or out of Buyer’s ownership, operation of or other activities on the Property, the prevailing party shall be entitled to collect from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.  Buyer and Seller hereby submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Norfolk Division, as the exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any suit or other proceeding brought in connection with or arising out of this Agreement.
