If less than a material part of the Facility shall be affected (i.e., the costof repairs for such damage will be less than One Hundred Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Facility shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by Seller prior to the Closing) and Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Facility or portion thereof.

Default by Purchaser.  If, on or prior to Closing, Purchaser shall have made any representation or warranty herein which shall be untrue or misleading in any material respect, or if Purchaser shall fail to perform any of the covenants and agreements contained herein to be performed by it, Seller, as its sole and exclusive remedy at law or in equity, may terminate this Agreement and retain the Deposit, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty.
