by Purchaser or Seller if (i) there has been a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, or agreement on the part of Seller (in the case of termination by Purchaser) or on the part of Purchaser (in the case of termination by Seller), which breach (A) will cause any of the conditions set forth in Section 6.02 (in the case of termination by Purchaser) or Section 6.03 (in the case of termination by Seller) not to be satisfied, and (B) shall not have been cured within 20 Business Days following receipt by the breaching party of written notice of such breach from the other party; or (ii) any event shall have occurred which makes it impossible for the conditions set forth in Article 6 hereof to be satisfied, provided that any termination pursuant to this clause (ii) shall not be effective until 20 Business Days after notice thereof is delivered by the Party seeking to terminate to the other Party, and shall be automatically rescinded if (1) such condition is solely for the benefit of the Party receiving such notice and (2) such Party, prior to such 20th Business Day, irrevocably waives satisfaction of such condition based on such event.
