8.6 B
uyer Covenant to Defend t his Agreement. The Buyer acknowledges that the Seller is a “public entity” and/or “public agency” as defined under applicable California law. Therefore, the Seller must satisfy the requirements of certain California statutes relating to the actions of public entities and public agencies . Also, as a public body, the Sellers’s action in approving this Agreement may be subject to proceedings to invalidate this Agreement or mandamus. The Buyer assumes the risk of delays and damages that may result to the Buyer from any third -party legal actions related to the Seller’s approval of this Agreement or the pursuit of the activities contemplated by this Agreement, even in the event that an error, omission or abuse of discretion 16498.00100\40032432.6

13 by the Seller is determined to have occurred. If a government entity delivers a notice of violation, or a private entity files a claim , or any third party initiates a legal action , regarding the Seller ’s approval of this Agreement or the pursuit of the activities contemplated by this Agreement (each, an “Action”), the Seller may terminate this Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice, without any further obligation to perform the terms of this Agreement and without any liability to the Buyer resulting from such termination, unless the Buyer unconditionally agrees to indemnify and defend the Seller, with legal counsel acceptable to the Seller, against such Action, as provided in the next sentence. Within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Seller’s notice of intent to terminate this Agreement, as provided in the preceding sentence, the Buyer may offer to defend the Seller, with legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Seller , against the Action and pay all costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, monetary awards, sanctions, attorney fee awards, expert witness and consulting fees, and the expenses of any and all financial or performance obligations resulting from the disposition of the A ction.

Prior to a termination of this Agreement, Seller shall not take any action, fail to take any required action, or willfully allow or consent to any action that would cause any of Seller’s representations or warranties to become untrue. If any representation or warranty of Seller was true as of the date of this Agreement, but is not true as of the Closing Date, then Seller shall disclose this changed fact to Buyer in writing. So long as Seller makes the foregoing disclosure and the change of circumstances regarding the representation or warranty did not arise due to the fault of Seller, then Seller shall not be in breach of this Agreement due to the fact that the representation or warranty has become untrue as of the Closing Date; provided, however, the fact that any representation or warranty under this Section 8 is untrue as of the Closing Date shall still be a failure of a condition pursuant to Section 6.1.2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer has actual knowledge of the incorrectness of any representation or warranty set forth in this Section 8 as of the Close of Escrow and Buyer has not elected to terminate this Agreement as provided herein, then Buyer will be deem ed to have waived any claim against Seller for the incorrectness of such representation or warranty.

Prior to any termination or deemed termination of this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to participate in any adjustment of the insurance claim. If Buyer waives the right to terminate this Agreement and elects to proceed with the Closing, then (a) Seller, at, and as a condition precedent to Buyer’s obligation to proceed with, the Closing, must either: (i) pay to Buyer (or direct Escrow Agent to credit Buyer against the Purchase Price for) the amount of any insurance proceeds actually received by Seller plus the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance; or (ii) if no insurance proceeds have been received by Seller, assign to Buyer by written instrument reasonably satisfactory to Buyer all rights or claims to the insurance proceeds and credit Buyer against the Purchase Price for any deductible payable under Seller’s insurance policy; and (b) the Parties shall proceed to the Closing pursuant to the terms hereof without further modification of the terms of this Agreement. 16498.00100\40032432.6

16 13. REMEDIES.

13.1 Default by Buyer . IF BUYER SHALL BREACH ANY OF THE TERMS OR

PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FAIL TO PERFORM ANY OF BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND IF SUCH FAILURE CONTINUES WITHOUT CURE BY BUYER FOR THREE (3) BUSINESS DAYS AFTER

SELLER PROVIDES BUYER AND ESCROW AGENT WITH WRITTEN NOTICE THEREOF,

AND PROVIDED SELLER IS NOT THEN IN DEFAULT, THEN SELLER MAY WAIVE

SUCH BREACH AND PROCEED TO CONSUMMATE THIS TRANSACTION IN

ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS HEREOF, OR SELLER MAY, AS ITS EXCLUSIVE REMEDY (BUT WITHOUT LIMITING SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECOVER ATTORNEYS' FEES PURSUANT TO SECTION 14.13 BELOW), CANCEL THIS AGREEMENT AND

RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS CONSIDERATION FOR

THE ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT AND FOR TAKING THE PROPERTY OFF THE MARKET, AND NOT AS A PENALTY. BUYER AND SELLER HAVE DETERMINED

AND HEREBY AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY

DIFFICULT, IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE, TO ASCERTAIN WITH ANY DEGREE OF CERTAINTY

THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES THAT WOULD BE SUFFERED BY SELLER IF BUYER

FAILS TO PERFORM ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THE PARTIES AGREE THAT A

REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SUCH DAMAGES UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES IS AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE DEPOSIT. ACCORDINGLY, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE

THAT IF BUYER BREACHES ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT

OR OTHERWISE DEFAULTS HEREUNDER, SELLER MAY RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. THE PAYMENT AND RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT AS

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS

INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.
