ARTICLE VIII REMEDIES ON DEFAULT 8.1 ET's Remedies. Except for any breaches waived in writing by ET, if Genesis has breached any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement or has failed, refused or is unable to consummate the Closing by the date of the Closing when and as required to do so hereunder, then ET shall have the sole and exclusive right either: (a) to bring an action seeking the specific performance of the obligations of Genesis hereunder, or (b) to be paid an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Consideration described in Section 2.2 above, as liquidated and agreed upon damages, in which case upon Genesis' payment of such amount to ET, this Agreement shall terminate and the parties' obligations hereunder shall become null and void. It is agreed that the provisions of this Paragraph 8.1 for liquidated and agreed upon damages are a bona fide pre?estimate of actual damages and a provision for such, and are not a penalty, the parties understanding that by reason of the withdrawal of the Property from sale to the general public at a time when other parties would be interested in purchasing the Property, that Seller shall have sustained damages which will be substantial, but will not be capable of determination -14- with mathematical precision. Therefore, this provision for liquidated and agreed upon damages has been incorporated as part of this Agreement as a provision beneficial to both parties and ET shall have no other remedies except as provided herein and shall have no right to pursue or receive consequential or special damages. 8.2 Genesis' Remedies. Except for any breaches waived in writing by Genesis, if ET has breached any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement or has failed, refused or is unable to consummate the Closing by the date of the Closing when and as required to do so hereunder, then Genesis shall have the sole and exclusive right either: (a) to bring an action seeking the specific performance of the obligations of ET hereunder, or (b) to bring an action for actual damages, in which case this Agreement shall terminate and the parties' obligations hereunder shall become null and void. In no event shall Genesis have the right to pursue or to receive special or consequential damages. ARTICLE IX INDEMNIFICATION 9.1 Indemnification by ET. ET hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify and agree to defend and hold harmless Genesis, and its officers, directors, employees, agents and successors and assigns, and its general partners and any officers, trustees, directors, employees, agents and successors and assigns of such general partners ("Genesis Indemnitees"), from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, expenses, costs, damages, losses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees and other charges) which may at any time be asserted against or suffered by any Genesis Indemnitee, the Property, or any part thereof whether before or after the date of the Closing, as a result of, on account of or arising from (a) the failure of ET to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the breach by ET of any of its representations and warranties made herein, (b) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of ET that occurred in connection with the ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing, (c) damage to property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the operation of the Property at any time or times prior to the Closing, or (d) any obligation, claim, suit, liability, contract, agreement, debt or encumbrance (other than Permitted Exceptions) created, arising or accruing prior to the date of the Closing, regardless of when asserted, relating to the Property or its operation, including, without limitation, and all liabilities for federal or state income taxes or other taxes, which shall not have been set forth or specifically described in this Agreement or the Schedules and the Exhibits hereto, provided however, that with respect to (b), (c) and (d) above, ET shall not be obligated to indemnify the Genesis Indemnitees for those matters for which Genesis was otherwise obligated under the Lease. The obligations of ET under this Section 9.1 shall survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months. 9.2 Indemnification by Genesis. Genesis hereby indemnifies and agrees to defend and hold harmless ET and its officers, directors, employees, agents and successors and assigns -15- ("ET Indemnitees"), from and against any and all demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, expenses, costs, damages, losses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees and other charges) which may at any time be asserted against or suffered by any ET Indemnitee, whether before or after the date of the Closing, as a result of, on account of or arising from (a) the failure of Genesis to perform any of its obligations hereunder or the breach by Genesis of any of its representations and warranties made herein, (b) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions of Genesis that occurred in connection with the ownership of the Property subsequent to the Closing, or (c) damage to property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the operation of the Property at any time or times subsequent to the Closing.
