In the event that the taking of any part of the Property shall: (i) materially impair access to the Property; (ii) cause any material non-compliance with any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation of any federal, state or local authority or governmental agencies having jurisdiction over the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) materially and adversely impair the use or economic value of the Property as it is currently being operated (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Material Event"), Purchaser may: 6.2.1. terminate this Agreement by written notice to Seller, in which event the Earnest Money deposited by Purchaser, together with interest thereon, shall be returned to Purchaser and all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder with respect to the closing of this transaction will cease; or 6.2.2. proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. 6.3.

Closing shall be delayed, if necessary, until Purchaser makes such election. If Purchaser fails to make an election within such five (5) business day period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to exercise its rights under Paragraph 6.2.2. If between the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are initiated which do not constitute a Material Event, Purchaser shall be required to proceed with the Closing, in which event Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's right, title and interest in and to any award made in connection with such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings. 7.
