respect, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy (except as provided in Sections 4.10, 8.2, 10.3 and 10.4
hereof), to terminate this Agreement and recover the Earnest Money as liquidated damages and not as
penalty, in full satisfaction of claims against Purchaser hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that
Seller’s damages resulting from Purchaser’s default are difficult, if not impossible, to determine and the

amount of such damages to be certain. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 10.1 to the contrary, in
the event of Purchaser’s default or a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall have all remedies
available at law or in equity in the event Purchaser or any party related to or affiliated with Purchaser is
asserting any claims or right to the Property that would otherwise delay or prevent Seller from having
clear, indefeasible title to the Property. In all other events Seller’s remedies shall be limited to those
described in this Section 10.1 and Sections 4.10, 8.2, 10.3 and 10.4 hereof. If Closing is consummated,
Seller shall have all remedies available at law or in equity if Purchaser fails to perform any obligation of
Purchaser under this Agreement.
10.2
Purchaser’s Remedies.
If Seller fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement for any reason except failure by Purchaser to perform hereunder, or if prior to Closing any one
or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Purchaser shall
elect, as its sole remedy (Purchaser hereby waiving all other rights or remedies), either to (i) terminate
this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at Closing and recover
the Earnest Money, (ii) enforce specific performance, or (iii) waive said failure or breach and proceed to
Closing. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to
terminate this Agreement if Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller written notice of its intent to file a claim or
assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before ten (10) business days
following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such
claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within two (2) months following
the scheduled Closing Date. Purchaser’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 10.2
and Sections 10.3 and 10.4 hereof. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S DIRECT OR INDIRECT
PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS, OWNERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, DIRECTOR,
EMPLOYEE OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING
PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER
LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY,
WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
10.3
Attorneys’ Fees. If either party hereto employs an attorney in connection with claims
by one party against the other arising from the operation of this Agreement, the non-prevailing party shall
pay the prevailing party all reasonable fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in
connection with such transaction.
