If Buyer does not exercise its right to


terminate this Agreement pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence or in the event the proceeds from such condemnation or other proceedings are estimated to be less than One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), the Purchase Price due to Seller from Buyer at Closing shall be reduced by the amount of any condemnation proceeds arising out of such condemnation proceedings with respect to the Property which have actually been received by Seller prior to Closing (except to the extent such proceeds have been used by Seller for rebuilding in connection with the condemnation or similar proceedings) and, to the extent any such condemnation proceeds have not actually been received by Seller prior to Closing, Seller shall assign to Buyer any rights to collect such proceeds and shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer, at no cost to Seller, to collect such proceeds.

Default; Liquidated Damages.

16.1.   Default by Seller. In the event the sale of the Property is not consummated because of the default of Seller, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy for such default, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller and Escrow Holder, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit shall be immediately returned to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Buyer solely in connection with this Agreement from the Effective Date until notice of Seller’s default (the “Reimbursable Costs”), not to exceed Fifteen Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,00) (which reimbursement shall be subject to Buyer providing evidence to Seller in reasonable detail of Buyer’s Reimbursable Costs, not to exceed Fifteen Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($15,000.00)), or (ii) seek to enforce specific


performance of this Agreement, In the event Seller interferes with the release of the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyer, then Seller shall be liable for all reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses which Buyer may incur in connection with Buyer’s enforcement of this Section 16.1. Except for the return of the Earnest Money Deposit and Buyer’s Reimbursable Costs as provided above, Seller shall in no event be liable to Buyer for any actual, punitive, speculative, consequential or other damages. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall limit the remedies Buyer shall have to enforce any rights it has against Seller under the indemnity provisions of Sections 13 and 34.

16.2.   ACKNOWLEDGEMENT. SELLER AND BUYER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER IS VERY DESIROUS OF CLOSING THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY WITHIN THE TIME FRAME ESTABLISHED BY THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT SUBSTANTIAL DAMAGES WILL BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IN THE EVENT THAT THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE WITHIN SUCH TIME FRAME DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER AND BUYER FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER WILL BE ENTITLED TO COMPENSATION IF THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY DOES NOT CLOSE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT. WITH THE FLUCTUATION IN LAND VALUES, THE UNPREDICTABLE STATE OF THE ECONOMY AND OF GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS, THE FLUCTUATING MARKET FOR REAL ESTATE AND REAL ESTATE LOANS OF ALL TYPES, AND OTHER FACTORS WHICH DIRECTLY AFFECT THE VALUE AND MARKETABILITY OF THE PROPERTY, THE PARTIES REALIZE THAT IT WOULD BE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT AND IMPRACTICABLE, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, AS OF THE SIGNING OF THIS AGREEMENT, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY THE EXTENT OF DAMAGES TO SELLER IN THE EVENT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT OR THE AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION SELLER SHOULD RECEIVE IN THE EVENT THAT THE PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE PROPERTY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT DOES NOT CLOSE DUE TO BUYER’S DEFAULT. ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES OR SUCH COMPENSATION, AS THE CASE MAY BE, IS THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT AND ANY INTEREST EARNED THEREON.

16.3.   LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PARTIES HEREBY AGREE THAT IF BUYER DEFAULTS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THEN SELLER SHALL BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER FROM BUYER THE AMOUNT OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT WITH ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON, AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES OR COMPENSATION, AS THE CASE MAY BE, UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SUCH RECOVERY OF THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT WITH ALL INTEREST EARNED THEREON SHALL BE THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF OR COMPENSATION TO SELLER, AS THE CASE MAY BE, AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 16. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE REMEDIES SELLER SHALL HAVE TO ENFORCE ANY RIGHTS IT HAS AGAINST BUYER UNDER THE INDEMNITY PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 3.4, 13 OR 34. EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A BUYER BREACH OR DEFAULT


UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (IN WHICH CASE THE EARNEST MONEY SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER) OR IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING OCCURS (IN WHICH CASE THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT SHALL BE APPLIED AGAINST THE PURCHASE PRICE), THE EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT SHALL IN ALL OTHER INSTANCES BE RETURNED TO BUYER IN THE EVENT THAT THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREIN FAIL TO CLOSE.

The assignment of such interest may take effect only simultaneously with Closing under this Agreement, and in no event shall the Exchanger be relieved of any liability under this Agreement by reason of such assignment. The Cooperator shall not be required to bear any escrow, title or other expense in excess of those the Cooperator would bear if there were no exchange. The Cooperator shall not be required to execute any document creating personal liability or to assume or be exposed to any liability in connection with the exchange, nor shall the Closing Date be delayed to consummate any such exchange without the written consent of both parties. In no event shall the Cooperator be required to take title to any property and in no event shall the Cooperator be responsible for any tax consequences to Exchanger or any other party in connection with any such exchange.

34.2.   Indemnification. Exchanger agrees and covenants to defend, indemnify, protect and hold harmless Cooperator from any liability, damage, loss, cost and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of whatever kind and nature arising out of any such assignment or exchange, including, without limitation, any claims by or on behalf of the Exchange Facilitator. Cooperator shall have the right to approve in its reasonable judgment any documentation Cooperator will be requested to execute in connection with the exchange transaction.
