any proceeds of business interruption or rent continuation insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance applicable to such occurrences; or (y) to terminate this Agreement. Purchaser’s failure to deliver either of such notices to Seller and Title Company within such five (5) business day period shall constitute Purchaser’s election to terminate this Agreement under clause (y) above. If this Agreement is terminated under clause (x) above, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned to Purchaser, the parties shall equally share the Cancellation Charges, and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations.

Section 9.2 Casualty of Less Than a Significant Portion. If less than a Significant Portion of the Property is damaged as aforesaid, then Seller shall have no obligation to repair such damage or destruction, and the Closing nevertheless shall occur as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, except that Seller shall, at Seller’s option, either (A) perform any necessary repairs, or (B) assign to Purchaser upon the Closing all insurance proceeds paid or payable to Seller in connection with such occurrences, exclusive of any proceeds of business interruption or rent continuation insurance applicable to the period prior to Closing, in which event Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price equal to the amount of any deductible under Seller’s insurance applicable to such occurrences.

Section 9.3 Condemnation of Property. In the event that all or any Significant Portion of the Property shall be taken in condemnation or under the right of eminent domain, Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser thereof. Within five (5) business days after receipt of the foregoing notice, Purchaser shall notify Seller, electing either: (a) to proceed with this transaction and Closing in accordance with this Agreement notwithstanding such condemnation; or (b) to terminate this Agreement. If Purchaser elects to proceed with this transaction pursuant to clause (a) above, or if there is a taking in condemnation or eminent domain that does not affect a Significant Portion of the Property, there shall be no reduction in the Purchase Price and Seller shall (x) deliver to Purchaser at the Closing, or as soon thereafter as available, any proceeds actually received by Seller attributable to the Property from such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding, and (y) transfer and assign to Purchaser any and all rights Seller may have with respect to payments by or from and with respect to recovery against any party for damages or compensation relating to the Property on account of such condemnation or eminent domain proceeding. A failure by Purchaser to notify Seller in writing within five (5) business days after receiving written notice of such taking shall be deemed an election to proceed under clause (b) in this subsection. If Purchaser elects to proceed under clause (a) in this subsection, Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to such award without Purchaser’s prior written consent. In the event Purchaser notifies Seller (or is deemed to have notified Seller) of its election to terminate this Agreement pursuant to clause (b) above, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Money Deposit and all interest accrued thereon will be returned to Purchaser, the parties shall equally share the Cancellation Charges, and thereafter neither Seller nor Purchaser will have any further rights or obligations to the other hereunder except with respect to the Termination Surviving Obligations.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Seller and Purchaser and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and no other party will be conferred any rights by virtue of this Agreement or be entitled to enforce any of the provisions hereof.
