further liability hereunder, and this Agreement shall be considered canceled.
If no such election is made, this Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect and the purchase contemplated herein, less any interest taken by
eminent domain or condemnation, shall be effected with no further adjustment
except that the condemnation award shall be assigned to Genesis.
7.2 Destruction of Property, Risk of Loss. The Property is to be held at
the risk of ET until Closing. In the event of any substantial destruction or
damage to the Property, Genesis may terminate this Agreement within thirty
(30) days of the event to the extent that Genesis, as tenant, may terminate
the Lease Agreement as a result of such destruction or damage, and upon such
termination, neither party shall have any liability to the other. If no such
election is made, or if Genesis is not entitled to terminate this Agreement,
then the purchase contemplated herein shall be effected with no adjustment
except that the insurance award shall be assigned to Genesis and Genesis shall
receive a credit in the amount of any deductible.
ARTICLE VIII
REMEDIES ON DEFAULT
8.1 ET's Remedies. Except for any breaches waived in writing by ET, if
Genesis has breached any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement
or has failed, refused or is unable to consummate the Closing by the date of
the Closing when and as required to do so hereunder, then ET shall have the
sole and exclusive right either: (a) to bring an action seeking the specific
performance of the obligations of Genesis hereunder, or (b) to be paid an
amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the Consideration described in Section
2.2 above, as liquidated and agreed upon damages, in which case upon Genesis'
payment of such amount to ET, this Agreement shall terminate and the parties'
obligations hereunder shall become null and void. It is agreed that the
provisions of this Paragraph 8.1 for liquidated and agreed upon damages are a
bona fide pre-estimate of actual damages and a provision for such, and are not
a penalty, the parties understanding that by reason of the withdrawal of the
Property from sale to the general
-13-
public at a time when other parties would be interested in purchasing the
Property, that Seller shall have sustained damages which will be substantial,
but will not be capable of determination with mathematical precision.
Therefore, this provision for liquidated and agreed upon damages has been
incorporated as part of this Agreement as a provision beneficial to both
parties and ET shall have no other remedies except as provided herein and
shall have no right to pursue or receive consequential or special damages.
8.2 Genesis' Remedies. Except for any breaches waived in writing by
Genesis, if ET has breached any of its covenants or obligations under this
Agreement or has failed, refused or is unable to consummate the Closing by the
date of the Closing when and as required to do so hereunder, then Genesis
shall have the sole and exclusive right either: (a) to bring an action
seeking the specific performance of the obligations of ET hereunder, or (b) to
bring an action for actual damages, in which case this Agreement shall
terminate and the parties' obligations hereunder shall become null and void.
In no event shall Genesis have the right to pursue or to receive special or
consequential damages.

ARTICLE IX

9.1 Indemnification by ET. ET hereby, jointly and severally, indemnify
and agree to defend and hold harmless Genesis, and its officers, directors,
employees, agents and successors and assigns, and its general partners and any

such general partners ("Genesis Indemnitees"), from and against any and all
demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, expenses, costs,
damages, losses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees and other charges)
which may at any time be asserted against or suffered by any Genesis
Indemnitee, the Property, or any part thereof whether before or after the date

obligations, acts or omissions of ET that occurred in connection with the
ownership or operation of the Property prior to the Closing, (c) damage to
property or injury to or death of any person or any claims for any debts or

when asserted, relating to the Property or its operation, including, without
limitation, and all liabilities for federal or state income taxes or other
taxes, which shall not have been set forth or specifically described in this
Agreement or the Schedules and the Exhibits hereto, provided however, that
with respect to (b), (c) and (d) above, ET shall not be obligated to indemnify
the Genesis Indemnitees for those matters for which Genesis was otherwise
obligated under the Lease. The obligations of ET under this Section 9.1 shall
survive the Closing for a period of twelve (12) months.
9.2 Indemnification by Genesis. Genesis hereby indemnifies and agrees to
defend and hold harmless ET and its officers, directors, employees, agents and
successors and assigns ("ET Indemnitees"), from and against any and all
demands, claims, actions or causes of action, assessments, expenses, costs,
damages, losses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees and other charges)
which may at any time be asserted against or suffered by any ET Indemnitee,
whether before or after the date of the Closing, as a result of, on account of
or arising from (a) the failure of Genesis to perform any of its obligations
hereunder or the breach by Genesis of any of its representations and
warranties made herein, (b) events, contractual obligations, acts or omissions
of Genesis that occurred in connection with the ownership of the Property
subsequent to the Closing, or (c) damage to property or injury to or death of
any person or any claims for any debts or obligations occurring on or about or
in connection with the Property or any portion thereof or with respect to the
operation of the Property at any time or times subsequent to the Closing. The

schedules hereto and the agreements referred to herein set forth the entire
agreement and understanding of the parties in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereby and supersede all prior agreements,
-17-
arrangements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. No
amendment, change or modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless the
same is in writing and signed by the parties hereto.
10.6 Counterparts/Facsimile Signature Pages. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and each such counterpart shall be
deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts together shall constitute

unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
shall not affect any other provision hereof, and this Agreement shall be
construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never

date ends on a day or time which is a weekend, legal holiday or bank holiday,
such period shall be extended to the same time on the next Business Day.
-18-
(g) Should any provision of this Agreement require judicial
interpretation, it is agreed that the court interpreting or construing the
same shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more
strictly construed against one party by reason of the rule of construction
that a document is to be construed more strictly against the party who itself
or through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that the agents of all
parties have participated in the preparation of this Agreement.
(h) Genesis and ET agree to execute and deliver such further documents
as are necessary or desirable to implement and accomplish the agreements and
terms of this Agreement.
(i) Genesis and ET shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep
