12. Default and Remedies.
12.1 Seller's Remedies. If Purchaser fails to perform its obligations pursuant to this Agreement at or prior to First Closing for any reason (except failure by Seller to perform hereunder or the failure of a condition precedent to Purchaser's obligation to perform) or if prior to First Closing any one or more of Purchaser's representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Seller shall be entitled, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement.
12.2 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 the failure of a condition precedent to Seller's obligation to perform) or if prior to First Closing any one or more of Seller's representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Purchaser shall elect, as its sole remedy, to terminate this Agreement by giving Seller timely written notice of such election prior to or at First Closing.
12.3 Purchaser's Remedies After Closing. If after the First Closing any of the Properties or Facilities are found to be in violation of any Environmental Laws, Seller acknowledges and agrees that the Seller and not the Purchaser shall pay the first third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses to correct any Environmental Law violations, now known or hereafter discovered, that existed prior to the Effective Date ("Pre-Existing Environmental Violations"). The obligation of Seller to pay for the first third party out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Pre-Existing Environmental Violations shall terminate and end on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Note described in Section 5.2 is paid, or (ii) such time that Seller has paid One Hundred and Ten Thousand ($110,000) Dollars to correct Pre-Existing Environmental Violations under the provision of this Section 12.3 and under any combination of this Section 12.3 and Article IV, Section (d) of the Amarillo Lease and/or Article IV, Section (d) of the Eloy Pond Lease, Article IV, Section (d) of the Holbrook Sub-Lease, Article IV, Section (d) of the Eloy Sub-Lease, Article IV, Section (d) of the London Sub-Lease, and Article IV, Section (d) of the Lake Station Sub-Lease ("Termination of Seller Obligation").

Once Seller and Purchaser agree on the manner to cure a Pre-Existing Environmental Violation, they shall co-operate with each other in the implementation of the cure with Seller paying all third party costs related to the cure, until the Termination of Seller Obligation has occurred. If Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree for any reason regarding such implementation within thirty (30) days of starting such co-operation process, the methodology suggested by a reputable environmental firm selected by Purchaser and reasonably acceptable to Seller shall govern and be implemented by the parties. Neither Purchaser nor Seller shall charge for the time its personnel spend on implementing a cure of a Pre-Existing Environmental Violation.
12.4 Liquidated Damages. In the event Purchaser fails to pay the Second Closing Purchase Price (for reasons other than Seller performing its obligations at the Second Closing, as set forth in this Agreement), Seller's sole remedy shall be to recover liquidated damages in the amount of $200,000, cancel the Subleases and the Leases for the Amarillo Property and Eloy Property and re-take possession of the Facilities. The Parties acknowledge that any damages would be difficult to calculate and agree that this amount is reasonable and not a penalty.

13.4 Applicable Law. The laws of the State of Arizona, shall govern the validity, construction, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement.
13.5 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement may also be executed by facsimile signature.
