8. Earnest Money Disbursement. The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent, in trust, and disposed of only in accordance with the following provisions:
| 7 |
(a) If the Closing occurs, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to, or upon the instructions of, Seller and Buyer on the Closing Date to be applied as part payment of the Purchase Price. If for any reason the Closing does not occur, Escrow Agent shall deliver the Earnest Money to Seller or Buyer only upon receipt of a written demand therefor from such party, subject to the following provisions of this clause (a). Subject to the last sentence of this clause (a), if for any reason the Closing does not occur and either party makes a written demand (the "Demand") upon Escrow Agent for payment of the Earnest Money, Escrow Agent shall give written notice to the other party of the Demand within one business day after receipt of the Demand. If Escrow Agent does not receive a written objection from the other party to the proposed payment within five (5) business days after the giving of such notice by Escrow Agent, Escrow Agent is hereby authorized to make the payment set forth in the Demand. If Escrow Agent does receive such written objection within such period, Escrow Agent shall continue to hold such amount until otherwise directed by written instructions signed by Seller and Buyer or a final judgment of a court. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause if Buyer delivers a notice to Escrow Agent stating that Buyer has terminated this Agreement on or prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Buyer without the necessity of delivering any notice to, or receiving any notice from Seller; provided, however, in the event Buyer does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Earnest Money shall be non-refundable, except (i) in the event the closing conditions outlined in Section 13 have not been met by the Closing Date (as same may be extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), or (ii) in the event of an uncured Seller default pursuant to Section 9(b) of this Agreement.
(b) The parties acknowledge that Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the parties, and that Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its negligent acts and for any liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred by Seller or Buyer resulting from Escrow Agent's mistake of law respecting Escrow Agent scope or nature of its duties. Seller and Buyer shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold Escrow Agent harmless from and against all liabilities (including reasonable attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements) incurred in connection with the performance of Escrow Agent's duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving negligence on the part of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in the place indicated on the signature page hereof in order to confirm that Escrow Agent has received and shall hold the Earnest Money in escrow, and shall disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.
9. Default
(a) In the event that Seller is ready, willing and able to close in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, and Buyer defaults in any of its obligations undertaken in this Agreement, Seller shall be entitled to, as its sole and exclusive remedy to either: (i) if Buyer is willing to proceed to Closing, waive such default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; or (ii) declare this Agreement to be terminated, and Seller shall be entitled to immediately receive all of the Earnest Money as liquidated damages as and for Seller's sole remedy. Upon such termination, neither Buyer nor Seller shall have any further rights, obligations or liabilities hereunder, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Seller and Buyer agree that (a) actual damages due to Buyer's default hereunder would be difficult and inconvenient to ascertain and that such amount is not a penalty and is fair and reasonable in light of all relevant circumstances, (b) the amount specified as liquidated damages is not disproportionate to the damages that would be suffered and the costs that would be incurred by Seller as a result of having withdrawn the Property from the market, and (c) Buyer desires to limit its liability under this Agreement to the amount of the Earnest Money paid in the event Buyer fails to complete Closing. Seller hereby waives any right to recover the balance of the Purchase Price, or any part thereof, and the right to pursue any other remedy permitted at law or in equity against Buyer. In no event under this Section or otherwise shall Buyer be liable to Seller for any punitive, speculative or consequential damages.
| 8 |
(b) In the event Seller defaults in the performance of its delivery obligations pursuant to Section 10 of this Agreement (a "Seller Default"), or one of the Closing Conditions (as defined below) has not been satisfied by Closing, and Seller fails to cure such Seller Default(s), or cause the satisfaction of the unsatisfied Closing Condition(s) within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice from Buyer, then Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy: (i) waive any unsatisfied Closing Condition and/or Seller Default and proceed to Closing in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof; (ii) terminate this Agreement by delivering written notice thereof to Seller no later than Closing, upon which termination the original amount of Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer, (and in the case of a Seller Default only, Seller shall pay to Buyer the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, not to exceed $15,000.00), which return and payment, if any, shall operate to terminate this Agreement and release Seller and Buyer from any and all liability hereunder, except those which are specifically stated herein to survive any termination hereof; or (iii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement for (A) any Seller Default or (B) Seller's failure to deliver a Tenant Estoppel Certificate or evidence of delivery of the request therefore in the event Tenant fails to deliver it.
10. Closing. The Closing shall consist of the execution and delivery of documents by Seller and Buyer, as set forth below, and delivery by Buyer to Seller of the Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
