TERMINATION
17. a. This Agreement may be terminated and the
transaction contemplated herein abandoned at any
time prior to Closing:
i. By mutual agreement of the parties;
ii. By Seller, if any of the conditions set
forth in Paragraph 14 shall have become incapable
of fulfillment prior to the Closing Date or such
earlier date as may be specifically provided for
the performance thereof (as the same may be
extended) through no fault of Seller and the same
shall not have been waived by Seller;
iii. By Purchaser, if any of the
conditions set forth in Paragraph 13 shall have
become incapable of fulfillment prior to the
Closing Date or such earlier date as may be
specifically provided for the performance thereof
(as the same may be extended) through no fault of
Purchaser and the same shall not have been waived
by Purchaser;
iv. By either Seller or Purchaser in the
event of a material breach by the other party of
its obligations hereunder;
v. If the Closing has not occurred by
February 1,1997 or such later date as may be
agreed upon by the parties (the "Outside Closing
Date"), unless extended by mutual agreement of the
parties; provided, however, that in the event all
of the conditions to Closing provided for in
Paragraph 13 have been satisfied or waived by the
Outside Closing Date other than the Purchaser's
receipt of the License pursuant to Paragraph
13(i), provided Purchaser is diligently pursuing
the issuance of the License by the Florida
Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services,
the Outside Closing Date shall automatically be
extended for such additional period of time as may
be necessary to permit Purchaser to secure the
License; provided, further that in the event
Purchaser has not secured the License by January
31,1997, this Agreement shall thereafter terminate
in accordance with the terms hereof and the
parties shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder other than Purchaser's right
to the return of its Xxxxxxx Money.
b. In the event that prior to the Closing
Date, a material portion of the Real Properly, the
Facility or the Personal Property shall have been
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, or
shall have been taken or condemned by any public
or quasi-public authority under the power of
eminent domain, Purchaser shall have the right to
terminate this Agreement on written notice to
Seller which notice must be delivered within ten
(10) days after Purchaser receives notice of such
damage, destruction or condemnation. In the event
Purchaser fails to exercise its termination rights
hereunder, then it shall be conclusively deemed to
have waived said right and the Corporation's
Assets at Closing shall include all of Seller's or
the Corporation's rights to any insurance proceeds
or condemnation award and all claims in the
connection therewith. In the event Purchaser
exercises its termination rights hereunder, the
parties shall have no further rights or
obligations hereunder other than Purchaser's right
to the return of its Xxxxxxx Money.
c. Neither party to this Agreement may
claim termination or pursue any other remedy
referred to in Paragraph 17(a) on account of a
breach of a condition, covenant or warranty by the
other, without first giving such other party
written notice of
25
such breach and not less than ten ( 10) days
within which to cure such breach; provided,
however, in no event shall the Closing Date be
postponed beyond the Outside Closing Date.
d. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement by Seller under Paragraphs 17(a)(ii) or
(iv) or under Paragraph 17(a)(v) in the event the
Closing has failed to occur as a result of a
material breach by Purchaser of its obligations
hereunder, Seller's sole remedy shall be to
terminate this Agreement and to retain Purchaser's
Xxxxxxx Money as full and complete liquidated
damages, the parties acknowledging and agreeing
that the amount of damages which Seller may incur
as a result of such termination may be difficult
to ascertain and that the amount of the Xxxxxxx
Money is a reasonable and fair estimate thereof,
after which the parties shall have no further
rights or obligations hereunder.
e. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement by Purchaser under P paragraph
17(a)(iii) or (iv) or under Paragraph 17(a)(v) in
the event the Closing has failed to occur as of a
material breach by Seller of its obligations
hereunder, Purchaser shall have the right as
Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedies either to
(i) terminate this Agreement and demand the return
of its Xxxxxxx Money after which neither party
shall have any further rights or obligations
hereunder or (ii) seek specific performance of
Seller's obligations hereunder.

18. At Closing, Seller shall provide Purchaser
with an accounting of all resident security
deposits being held by Seller as of the Closing
Date (the "Resident Deposits"). Such accounting
shall set forth the names of the residents or
prospective residents for whom such funds are
held, the amounts held on behalf of each resident
or prospective resident and the Seller's warranty
that the accounting is true, correct and complete.
19. On the Closing Date, Seller shall transfer
the Resident Deposits to the bank account
designated by the Purchaser and Purchaser shall in
writing acknowledge to Seller receipt of and
expressly assume all the Corporation's financial
and custodial obligations with respect thereto.
20. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller
will indemnify and hold Purchaser harmless from
all liabilities, claims and demands in the event
the amount of the Resident Deposits transferred to
the Purchaser's bank account as provided in
Paragraph 19 did not represent the full amount of
such Resident Deposits then or thereafter shown to
have been delivered to the Corporation by the
current residents or prospective residents of the
Facility.
