is owned or controlled by, or acts for or on behalf of, any person or entity on the OFAC List or any other person or entity who has been determined by competent authority to be subject to the prohibitions contained in the U.S. Executive Orders pertaining to the List (any person referenced in this provision, or in clauses 26.1.1 and 26.1.2 above, is hereby referred to herein as a Blocked Person);

If Purchaser determines, having taken professional legal advice and only after consulting with the Vendor and taking into account the Vendor’s reasonable representations that Vendor is a Blocked Person, Purchaser shall have the absolute right to immediately terminate the Sale in which event the Purchaser shall receive a return of the deposit if such return is acceptable under applicable US law.

FINANCING PRE-CONDITION

In the event that the Bank Loan does not close on or before the Closing Date on the

terms provided by the immediately preceding sentence, then the Purchaser may, at its option, terminate the Sale by notice in writing served on the Vendor and on service of such notice this Contract shall terminate immediately, General Condition 37 (Rescission) shall apply, and the deposit shall, within two days of such termination, be returned to the Purchaser less the sum of €500,000 Euro (which sum is inclusive of VAT, if any) which shall be retained by the Vendor in full compensation and satisfaction for the Vendor’s transaction expenses and all other rights and entitlements of whatever nature may be enjoyed by the Vendor.
