Seller and Buyer acknowledge and agree that Seller's damages in the event of any such default or breach by Buyer would be difficult or impossible to determine and that under the circumstances existing on the Contract Date, the amount of the Earnest Money and interest thereon is the best and most accurate estimate by the parties of the damages that Seller would suffer in the event of any such default or breach. 11 13.2 SELLER DEFAULT. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations or agreements hereunder, Buyer shall give Seller written notice of the default. If Seller has not completely cured the default within ten (10) business days after the date of Buyer's notice, then Buyer may (i) terminate this Agreement by notifying Seller thereof, in which event the Earnest Money and all interest earned thereon shall be returned to Buyer; or (ii) bring legal action to enforce specific performance of this Agreement. 13.3 NO FURTHER DUTIES. If Buyer terminates this Agreement pursuant to a right granted to Buyer under this Agreement, neither party hereto shall have any further rights, duties or obligations hereunder (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement) and the Earnest Money and all interest earned thereon shall be returned by Escrow Agent to Buyer. 13.4 POST CLOSING DEFAULT. In the event that after Closing a party ("Defaulting Party") breaches an obligation hereunder which is expressly stated herein to survive Closing, the Defaulting Party shall be liable to the other party ("Non-Defaulting Party") for the damages incurred by the Non-Defaulting Party as a result of such breach. SECTION 14. CONDEMNATION/CASUALTY. 14.1 CONDEMNATION. In the event that all or any Substantial Portion (as defined in Section 14.3 below) of the Property is condemned or taken by eminent domain prior to Closing or conveyed in lieu thereof, Seller shall give Buyer written notice thereof and Buyer may, at its option, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller within ten (10) business days after Seller notifies Buyer of such condemnation or conveyance; or (ii) proceed to close the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof. If Buyer elects option (i) above, Buyer shall receive an immediate refund of the Earnest Money and all interest earned thereon. If Buyer elects option (ii) above, Buyer shall receive the condemnation proceeds or a reduction in the Purchase Price of an equal amount. In the event Buyer fails to timely deliver written notice of termination as described in option (i) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above. 14.2 CASUALTY. In the event that all or any Substantial Portion of the Property is damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, Buyer may, at its option, either (i) terminate this Agreement by written notice thereof to Seller within ten (10) business days after Seller notifies Buyer of the casualty; or (ii) proceed to close the purchase of the Property pursuant to the terms hereof. If Buyer elects option (i) above, Buyer shall receive a refund of the Earnest Money and all interest earned thereon. If Buyer elects option (ii) above, Seller shall deliver to Buyer at the Closing all insurance proceeds actually received by Seller arising from such casualty and attributable to the Property and/or assign to Buyer all of Seller's right, title and interest in any 12 claim under any applicable insurance policies with respect to such casualty, there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall cooperate with Buyer in its efforts to be paid insurance proceeds. In the event Buyer fails to timely deliver written notice of termination as described in option (i) above, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected option (ii) above. 14.3 SUBSTANTIAL PORTION. For purposes of this Section 14, a Substantial Portion of the Property shall mean any taking or casualty loss which decreases the value of the Property by Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) or more ("Substantial Portion"). If, within ten (10) business days after Seller's notice to Buyer described above, Seller and Buyer are unable to reasonably agree after good faith efforts upon whether the taking or casualty loss involves a Substantial Portion of the Property, then this Agreement shall be deemed null and void and the Earnest Money and all interest thereon shall be refunded to Buyer. SECTION 15. INSPECTIONS AND DOCUMENTS. 15.1. ACCESS. Buyer has had and shall continue to have, during the entire term of this Agreement, access to (i) all information Buyer is entitled to hereunder; and (ii) the Property for purposes of inspections and investigations of the Property. Seller agrees it will not make or cause to be made any material changes to the Property after such inspection. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer and its agents shall not disrupt the operation of the Property.
