Default by Contributor. In the event the Closing and the transactions contemplated hereby do not occur as herein provided by reason of any default of Contributor, and Contributor’s failure to close was not caused by BKP’s default under this Agreement, BKP may, as BKP’s sole and exclusive remedy, elect either of the following: (a) by notice to Contributor at any time but in no event later than thirty (30) days following the Scheduled Closing Date to terminate this Agreement, in which event BKP will receive from the Escrow Agent the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit, and Contributor shall reimburse BKP for its legal and due diligence costs and expenses incurred in connection with the Property and this Agreement, not to exceed $700,000, whereupon Contributor and BKP will have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations, or (b) at any time but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the Scheduled Closing Date, to file suit to seek to enforce specific performance of Contributor’s obligation under this Agreement. Except for claims arising under Closing Surviving Obligations and as otherwise set forth herein, BKP expressly waives its rights to seek damages in the event of Contributor’s default hereunder. BKP shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement and receive back the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit if BKP fails to file suit for specific performance against Contributor in a court having jurisdiction in the county and state in which the Property is located on or before sixty (60) days following the Scheduled Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 13.1 or in any other provision of this Agreement (excluding Section 8.4) will limit BKP’s remedies at law, in equity or as herein provided in pursuing remedies of (i) a willful or intentional breach by Contributor of its obligations hereunder in the event the remedy of specific performance is not available to BKP by reason of such Contributor’s breach by conveying the Property to a third party in breach of the terms of this Agreement, or by Contributor executing a new mortgage encumbering the Property which is not released at or before the Closing, or by Contributor creating some other impediment that would preclude Contributor from being able to convey the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, (ii) fraud by Contributor, or (iii) any breach by Contributor of any of the Termination Surviving Obligations or Closing Surviving Obligations.
