Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any closing document executed pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Apollo Lease), Buyer waives any and all objections to, complaints about, or Claims regarding the Property, including without limitation the Real Property and its physical characteristics and existing conditions (including, without limitation, objections to, complaints about, or Claims regarding subsurface soil and water conditions, solid and hazardous waste and hazardous substances, and endangered or protected plant or animal species on, under or adjacent to the Real Property (including federal, state or common law based actions and any private right of action under state and federal law, including, but not limited to, the Environmental Laws)); provided that (x) Buyer does not release Apollo for any Claims arising under the Lease, and (y) Buyer shall have the right to defend any governmental or third party environmental or other Claim asserted against Buyer after Closing with respect to any environmental or other matter occurring prior to Closing by alleging that Seller (and not Buyer) is liable for such Claim and by asserting a cross-claim or counterclaim against Seller in response to any Claim asserted against Buyer (but not to assert its own Claim against Seller for such matters).

     (i) If Seller is in default under Section 10.2(a)(i) of this Agreement, Buyer may, by written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent, given within 10 days following the date that such default has continued beyond any applicable notice and grace period set forth in this Agreement, elect to exercise either the Termination Right or the Specific Enforcement Right as described below, but not both, unless prior to such notice being given, Seller otherwise cures the default, in which case Buyer and Seller shall proceed to close the transaction within five days following such cure.
     (A) Buyer may terminate this Agreement (the “Termination Right”), effective as of the date Buyer gives the notice to Seller and Escrow Agent electing to exercise the Termination Right. If Buyer exercises the Termination Right, Seller shall (i) reimburse Buyer for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the Properties and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, but not to exceed $500,000, and (ii) pay Buyer a break-up fee equal to the sum of $1,500,000, which break-up fee shall be in addition to the amounts required to be paid under clause (i).
     (B) Buyer may elect to pursue specific performance of this Agreement (the “Specific Performance Right”).
If Buyer fails to elect the Specific Performance Remedy within the 10-day period described above, Buyer shall have no further right to demand specific performance and shall be conclusively presumed to have exercised the Termination Right.
     (ii) If Seller is in default with respect to any of its indemnity obligations under this Agreement or any post-closing obligation (including the breach of any representation or warranty surviving the Closing), Buyer shall have all rights and remedies at law or in equity in connection with such default.
     (iii) If, prior to Closing, Buyer discovers that Seller is in default under Section 10.2(a)(iii) of this Agreement, Buyer may either (x) elect to waive such default and proceed to Closing or (y) elect to cancel this Agreement and the

24


 

escrow, such cancellation to be effective immediately upon Buyer giving written notice of cancellation to Seller and Escrow Agent. Upon such cancellation, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for its actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection with the Property and the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, but not to exceed $500,000.
     (iv) Buyer irrevocably waives any right to damages or any other remedies or form of relief, except as specifically set forth in this Section 10.2
