Buyer’s Remedies (a) If Seller breaches this Agreement prior to the Closing for any reason except failure by Buyer to perform its obligations, or if prior to Closing any one or more of Seller’s representations or warranties are breached in any material respect, Buyer shall elect, as its sole remedy, either to (i) terminate this Agreement by giving notice to Seller of such election prior to or at Closing, whereupon the Deposit shall be returned to Buyer and Seller shall reimburse Buyer for Buyer’s out-of-pocket costs incurred in connection with the negotiation and performance under this Agreement, but not in excess of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000); or (ii) waive such breach and proceed to Closing; or (iii) pursue the remedy of specific performance. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement if as a result of Seller’s breach Buyer does not proceed to Closing and thereafter fails to give Seller notice of its intent to file a claim or assert a cause of action for specific performance against Seller on or before ninety (90) days following the scheduled Closing Date or, having given such notice, fails to file a lawsuit asserting such claim or cause of action in the county in which the Property is located within ninety (90) days following the scheduled Closing Date. Buyer’s remedies shall be limited to those described in this Section 7.2. Nothing contained in the foregoing shall serve to waive or otherwise limit Buyer’s remedies or damages for claims of Buyer against Seller with respect to any obligations of Seller that, by the terms of this Agreement, survive the close of Escrow or any termination of this Agreement before the Closing or impair buyer’s rights to obtain from Seller all costs and expenses of enforcing this Agreement. IN NO EVENT SHALL SELLER’S MEMBERS OR ITS OR THEIR DIRECT OR INDIRECT MEMBERS, PARTNERS, SHAREHOLDERS OR AFFILIATES, ANY OFFICER, MANAGER, MEMBER, DIRECTOR, EMPLOYEE, OR AGENT OF THE FOREGOING, OR ANY AFFILIATE OR CONTROLLING PERSON THEREOF HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM, CAUSE OF ACTION OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY, WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, COMMON LAW, STATUTE, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE.
