(c) The Seller Parties may elect to cure or not to cure any and all Objections, provided the Seller Parties shall notify the Buyer of their election by written notice (the “Election Notice”) no later than ten (10) days after receipt of the Objection Notice (the “Election Term”). Failure by the Seller Parties to deliver an Election Notice shall be deemed an election not to cure the Objections. If the Seller Parties elect (or are deemed to have elected) not to cure the Objections, the Buyer shall have five (5) Business Days from the receipt of the Election Notice or the expiration of the Election Term, as the case may be, to elect, as its sole remedy, either (x) to waive the Objections and proceed to Closing, in which case the matters not cured by the Seller Parties shall be Permitted Encumbrances, or (y) elect not to purchase the Shares, whereupon this Agreement will automatically terminate without further liability from the Seller Parties to the Buyer except for the provisions which expressly survive the termination hereof and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer. If the Buyer does not notify the Seller Parties of its election during the five (5) Business Day period set forth above, the Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to waive the Objection and proceed to Closing pursuant to clause (x). If the Seller Parties elect to cure the Objections and then fail to do so, the Buyer may elect not to purchase the Shares whereupon, this Agreement will automatically terminate without further liability from the Seller Parties to the Buyer except for the provisions which expressly survive the termination hereof and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer.

(d) The Owner’s Policy issued and delivered to the Buyer at Closing shall have all standard and general exceptions deleted so as to afford full “extended form coverage” if and as permitted by applicable title insurance regulations and shall contain such endorsements as Buyer shall reasonably require and are available under applicable title insurance regulations.

(e) If, after expiration of the Inspection Period, any of the Real Property are encumbered by any liens or encumbrances that cannot be paid off or satisfied at or prior to Closing by the payment of money and cancelled of record in the Registry (it being understood that the Seller Parties shall be required to pay and satisfy and cancel of record all such monetary liens and encumbrances), and if such liens or encumbrances are
15
Material Title Defects, then the Buyer may waive the change in the Seller Parties’ title to the Encumbrances and proceed to Closing or terminate this Agreement by written notice to the Seller Parties and the Seller Parties and the Buyer shall have no liability to each other except for the provisions that expressly survive the termination hereof and the Deposit shall be returned to the Buyer.
(f) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller Parties shall take all commercially reasonable action to execute and file for recordation in the Registry such deeds, petitions and instruments as are necessary to cancel the liens and encumbrances upon the Facilities described inSchedule 4.1(f) hereto (the “Section 4.1(f) Liens”). The cost of such cancellations shall be paid by the Seller Parties. The removal of all such matters by the Seller Parties, at or prior to Closing, shall be a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to close hereunder.

Subject toArticle 6 and Buyer’s rights underSection 2.2, and provided the same do not constitute a Material Title Objection as to which Buyer has provided an Objection Notice, the Buyer agrees to purchase the Facilities subject to the Violations and that the Seller Parties shall have no duty to remove or comply with or repair any of the aforementioned Violations.
(h) At or prior to Closing, the Seller Parties shall be required to pay or satisfy all notes or notices of violations of law, county or municipal ordinances, orders, designations or requirements whatsoever noted in or issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Facilities, in each case, which are capable of being cured by the payment of money, together with any and all fines, penalties and interest levied thereon (such matters being referred to herein, collectively, as “Monetary Violations”).

In the event Seller Parties do so object within such fifteen (15) day period, Buyer and Seller Parties shall use their reasonable efforts to resolve, in good-faith, by written agreement (the “Agreed Adjustments”) any differences as to the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination and, in the event Seller and Buyer so resolve any such differences, the Buyer’s Working Capital Determination, in each case as adjusted by the Agreed Adjustments, shall be final and binding as the Closing Working Capital for purposes of this Agreement.

b. If the Closing Working Capital is less than the Estimated Closing Working Capital (such deficit, the “Working Capital Shortfall”), then Seller Parties shall within five (5) Business Days of such determination, pay to Buyer by wire transfer of immediately available funds a dollar amount equal to such Working Capital Shortfall.

11.6Notice and Procedure.
(a) Any person seeking indemnity under any provision of this Agreement (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the party from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnitor”) as to (i) the nature of any claims, damages, losses or liabilities asserted by or against the Indemnitee for which the Indemnitee intends to seek indemnity hereunder (“Claims”) and (ii) if applicable, the commencement of any suit or proceeding brought to enforce any Claims. The Indemnitor shall assume the defense of any such suit or other proceeding and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense, and shall be entitled reasonably to consult with the Indemnitor with respect to such defense; provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee and the Indemnitee reasonably shall have concluded that there may be a conflict between the positions of the Indemnitor and the Indemnitee in conducting the defense of any such action or that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnitor, the Indemnitee shall have the right to select separate counsel to assume such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnitee, in which case the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnitor. The Indemnitor shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnitee, (A) settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which provides for relief other than the payment of monetary damages, (B) settle or compromise any claim or consent to the entry of any judgment which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant to the Indemnitee a release from all liability in respect to such claim, or (C) settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment which includes an admission of wrongdoing by the Indemnitee.
(b) The Indemnitee, at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, shall assist and cooperate with the Indemnitor in the conduct of litigation, the making of settlements and the enforcement of any right of contribution to which the Indemnitee may be entitled from any Person in connection with the subject matter of any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder. In addition, the Indemnitee shall, upon request by the Indemnitor or counsel selected by the Indemnitor and at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor, attend hearings and trials, assist in the securing and giving of evidence, assist in obtaining the presence or cooperation of witnesses, make available its own personnel, and effect settlements; and shall do whatever else is reasonably necessary and appropriate in connection with such litigation. The Indemnitee shall not make any demand upon the Indemnitor or counsel for the Indemnitor in connection with any litigation subject to indemnification hereunder, except a general
45
demand for indemnification as provided hereunder. The Indemnitee shall not, except at its own cost, voluntarily make any payment, assume any obligation, incur any expense, or settle or compromise any claim without the express approval of the Indemnitor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee shall have the right to join in the defense of any litigation or claim at such Indemnitee’s own cost and expense, and, if the Indemnitee agrees in writing to be bound by and promptly to pay the full amount of any final judgment from which no further appeal may be taken and if the Indemnitor is reasonably assured of the Indemnitee’s ability to satisfy such agreement, then, at the option of the Indemnitee, such Indemnitee may take over the defense of such litigation or claim.
(c) If the Indemnitee shall fail to promptly notify the Indemnitor as to (i) the nature of any Claims or (ii) the commencement of any suit or proceeding brought to enforce any Claims, or if the Indemnitee shall fail to perform its obligations as the Indemnitee hereunder or to cooperate fully with the Indemnitor in the Indemnitor’s defense of any suit or proceeding, then the indemnity with respect to the subject matter of such Claim shall continue, but shall be limited to the damages that would have nonetheless resulted absent the Indemnitee’s failure to notify the Indemnitor in the time required above after taking into account such actions as could have been taken by the Indemnitor had it received timely notice from the Indemnitee.
11.7Right of Set-Off. Any amounts owed among the parties arising from obligations of indemnity pursuant to thisArticle 11 may be set-off against amounts otherwise owed from one party to the other.
11.8Disregarding Materiality Exceptions. For purposes of calculating the amount of Losses to which an Indemnitee is entitled under thisArticle 11 (but not for purposes of determining whether a representation or warranty has been breached), the terms “material,” “materiality,” “Material Adverse Effect” and other qualifiers, modifiers or limitations (including monetary values and qualifiers as to “knowledge” or “Knowledge”) shall be disregarded.
12. TERMINATION; SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE

(d) by Buyer, if a Material Adverse Effect shall have occurred since the Balance Sheet Date;
46
(e) by Buyer upon a breach in any material respect of any covenant or agreement on the part of Seller Parties set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Seller Parties shall have been materially breached or shall have been or become materially untrue, in any such case that the conditions set forth inArticle 8 would be incapable of being satisfied on or before sixty (60) days from the execution of this Agreement (subject to a 30-day extension if the applicable waiting period of the pre-merger notification report form filed pursuant to the HSR Act extends beyond sixty (60) days from the date thereof) (or any later date as such date may be otherwise extended by mutual agreement of the parties);

12.2Effect of Termination.
(a) Upon the termination of this Agreement, all obligations of the parties hereto shall terminate except the obligations which expressly survive the termination hereof or as otherwise provided in thisArticle 12.

(b) If this Agreement shall have been terminated by either party pursuant toSections 12.1(e) orSection 12.1(f), then the breaching party shall pay the non-breaching an amount equal to $5,000,000 as liquidated damages, plus all of the non-breaching party’s reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with this Agreement (and the transactions contemplated thereby), including the reasonable fees and expenses of financial advisors, accountants and legal counsel.

In the event of a termination by Buyer pursuant toSection 12.1(e), in addition to the damages specified herein, Seller Parties shall also return to Buyer the Deposit. In the event of a termination by Seller Parties pursuant toSection 12.1(f), Seller Parties may retain the Deposit, and the amount of such Deposit shall be applied towards the damages due from Buyer under thisSection 12.2(b).

13.18Due Diligence Production/Completion of Schedules.
(i) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Seller Parties have not delivered to Buyer all of the documents and materials requested by Buyer (the “Due Diligence”), including the documents and materials responsive to the written requests made by senior management of Buyer and the Legal Document and Information Request previously delivered by Buyer. The Seller Parties covenant and agree (i) to timely deliver such Due Diligence and (ii) if certain items are not applicable to the Seller Parties, the Business or the Assets or not in existence, to notify Buyer accordingly, in each case no later than ten (10) days from the date hereof. The parties further acknowledge and agree that at the time of execution of this Agreement, the Seller Parties have not informed any of the employees, officers and independent contractors of the Target Entities of this transaction. As a result, certain of the Schedules to this Agreement have not been prepared in their final form at the time of execution of this Agreement. After review by each of the Seller Parties’ Knowledge Parties and in all cases within ten (10) days following execution of this Agreement (the “Initial Schedule Period”), the Seller Parties shall submit the updated Schedules in writing to the Buyer. The submitted Schedules shall be deemed accepted and thereby become a Schedule to this Agreement unless, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such proposed Schedule (the “Schedule Objection Deadline”), Buyer provides written notice to the Seller Party (i) detailing a reasonable basis for its objection to the submitted Schedule, and (ii) if applicable, changes in such proposed Schedule or otherwise in this Agreement which would make the facts or circumstances disclosed in the Schedule to be acceptable. In such case, the parties shall use their best efforts to reconcile the information to be included on such proposed Schedule as quickly as possible. Should the parties not be able to resolve written objections within the earlier of (x) five (5) Business Days after the Schedule Objection Deadline, or (y) five (5) Business Days after Buyer provides notice to the Seller Parties of an objection to a Schedule (such date, the “Schedule Resolution Deadline”), then Buyer may withdraw from this Agreement and terminate it without any obligation or liability of any sort, this Agreement shall be treated as never having been executed or delivered, and any Deposit shall be returned.
(ii) From and after the expiration of the Initial Schedule Period until the earlier of the termination of this Agreement or the Closing Date, Seller Parties may prepare and deliver to Buyer supplements and/or amendments to the Schedules, which may contain additional Sections that are not in existence as of the date hereof relating to any of the provisions contained in Article 6, with respect to matters first arising after the expiration of the Initial Schedule Period (each, an “Update”), and each such Update shall be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement for all purposes hereof other than for purposes of the conditions set forth inSection 8.4 or 9.4. Notwithstanding the above, no update shall prejudice Buyer’s rights to indemnification underSection 11.1.
