In the event that Facilitator or its applicable Affiliates and LaSalle enter into the Merger Agreement, within two (2) Business Days after the later of the satisfaction of (i) the Merger Agreement Execution Condition, and (ii) the Joinder Condition (provided that, for the purposes of this clause (ii), if applicable, the Joinder Condition  shall be deemed satisfied in the event and on the date Purchaser waives the Joinder Condition as permitted under Section 8.4 below), Purchaser shall deposit with Escrow Agent an amount equal to $20,000,000.00 (the “Merger Agreement Earnest Money” and, together with the Initial Earnest Money, the “Earnest Money”).  The Earnest Money shall be non-refundable to Purchaser in the event of any subsequent termination of this Agreement and shall be paid to Facilitator, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement.  The Earnest Money shall be held by Escrow Agent in escrow (the “Earnest Money Escrow”) pursuant to this Section 3.2.  This provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(b)                                 Investment of Earnest Money.  The Earnest Money shall be invested in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and all interest and other amounts earned on the Earnest Money shall constitute additional Earnest Money for all purposes in this Agreement.  The Earnest Money shall be invested by Escrow Agent in a commercial bank or banks acceptable to Facilitator and Purchaser in a money market fund, or in such other investments as shall be selected by Purchaser and approved in writing by Facilitator.  All fees, costs and expenses of the Earnest Money Escrow shall be shared equally between Facilitator and Purchaser, except that Purchaser shall pay any fees, costs or expenses with respect to the investment of the Earnest Money and Purchaser shall bear the risk of loss of the Earnest Money.

(f)                                   Liability of Escrow Agent.  The Parties acknowledge that the Escrow Agent is acting solely as a stakeholder at their request and for their convenience, that the Escrow Agent shall not be deemed to be the agent of either of the Parties, and that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable to either of the Parties for any action or omission on its part taken or made in good faith, and not in disregard of this Agreement, but shall be liable for its grossly negligent acts and for any loss, cost or expense incurred by Facilitator or Purchaser resulting from the Escrow Agent’s mistake of law respecting the Escrow Agent’s scope or nature of its duties.  Facilitator and Purchaser shall jointly and severally indemnify and hold the Escrow Agent harmless from and against all costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with the performance of the Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder, except with respect to actions or omissions taken or made by the Escrow Agent in bad faith, in disregard of this Agreement or involving gross negligence on the part of the Escrow Agent.

NO DUE DILIGENCE CONTINGENCY; TITLE INSURANCE

 

Section 4.1                                    No Due Diligence Contingency

 

(a)                                 No Due Diligence Contingency.  Purchaser expressly acknowledges that its obligations hereunder are not contingent or conditioned upon any inspection, due diligence or title insurance contingency or condition precedent.  The state of the physical or environmental condition of the California Property and/or the New York Property shall not be a condition to Purchaser’s obligation to consummate the Closing.

 

15



 

(b)                                 No Right of Access to the Properties.  Purchaser expressly acknowledges that it shall have no right to enter upon either of the Properties in its capacity as “Purchaser” hereunder and that Facilitator has no right to grant any right of access to the Properties; provided, however, that Facilitator shall, from and after the date of the Merger Agreement, upon Purchaser’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to permit Purchaser, its partners and potential partners, its lenders and its potential lenders, and each of their respective officers, employees, contractors, consultants, agents or representatives to obtain reasonable access to the Properties to the extent permitted pursuant to the Merger Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Facilitator expressly acknowledges that (i) the existing Managers of the Hotels shall retain all of their rights under the applicable Management Agreements, and (ii) neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates have provided any information regarding the Hotels to Facilitator and Facilitator relied on its own determinations and investigations to reach agreement regarding the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(c)                                  No Due Diligence Materials.  Purchaser expressly acknowledges that Facilitator is not in possession of and cannot and has not provided any of the customary due diligence materials that a seller of assets such as the Properties might otherwise normally provide.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Facilitator shall, from and after the date of the Merger Agreement, upon Purchaser’s request, use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide information regarding the Properties to the extent permitted pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

 

(d)                                 Natural Hazards.  With respect to the California Hotel, for purposes hereof, the phrase “Natural Hazards” shall have the meaning described in the following California Code Sections which may affect the California Property:  Government Code Section 8589.3 (Special Flood Hazard);  Government Code Section 8589.5 (Potential Flooding); Government Code Sections 51178 and 51179 (Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone);  Public Resources Code Section 2622 (Earthquake Fault Zone); Public Resources Code Section 2696 (Seismic Hazard Zone); and Public Resources Code Section 4125 (Wildland Forest Fire Risks and Hazards).  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that Purchaser is an experienced real estate investor and is fully capable of determining whether any lists or maps delineating properties affected by such Natural Hazards are available and otherwise determining whether any such Natural Hazards affect any of the California Property.  Purchaser has, or by Closing will have, independently evaluated and investigated whether any or all of such Natural Hazards affect the California Property.  Based on the foregoing, Purchaser knowingly and intentionally waives any disclosures, obligations or requirements of California Hotel Owner or Facilitator with respect to Natural Hazards, including, without limitation, any disclosure obligations or requirements under the following California Code Sections: Government Code Sections 8589.3, 8589.4 and 51183.5 and Public Resources Code Sections 2621.9, 2694 and 4136 (the “Natural Hazard Disclosure Requirements”).  Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that this waiver has been specifically negotiated and is an essential aspect of the bargain between the Parties.

 

(e)                                  Natural Hazards Report.  With respect to the California Hotel, Purchaser shall obtain from Escrow Agent a Natural Hazard disclosure statement (“Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement”) in the form provided in California Civil Code Section 1103.2(a) to which Escrow Agent’s (in its capacity as a nature hazard expert) written report (the “Natural Hazards Report”) shall be attached.  Purchaser agrees that, if for any reason the provisions of the prior paragraph are not given full force and effect, said Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement and the Natural Hazards Report attached thereto fully and completely discharge Facilitator and California Hotel Owner from its or their disclosure obligations under the Natural Hazard

 

16



 

Disclosure Requirements.  For the purpose of this Agreement, the provisions of Civil Code Section 1103.4 regarding the non-liability of Facilitator and California Hotel Owner for errors or omissions not within its or their personal knowledge shall be deemed to apply.  Purchaser agrees that the Escrow Agent shall be deemed to be an expert in the preparation of Natural Hazards reports, dealing with matters within its scope of expertise with respect to the examination and Natural Hazards and that the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement and Natural Hazards Report shall be deemed to have been provided to Purchaser at Purchaser’s request.  Purchaser further acknowledges and agrees that the matters set forth in the Natural Hazards Report may change on or prior to the Closing and that neither Facilitator nor California Hotel Owner shall have any obligation to update, modify or supplement the Natural Hazards Report

 

Section 4.2                                    Title and Survey.

 

(a)                                 Title Commitment and Survey.  Purchaser may obtain, at its sole cost and expense, either a Preliminary Title Report or, if available, a commitment for a standard CLTA form of Owner Title Insurance Policy from the Title Company for the California Real Property, together with a copy of all documents referenced therein and a standard ALTA form of Owner Title Insurance Policy from the Title Company for the New York Real Property, together with a copy of all documents referenced therein.

 

(b)                                 Title Insurance.  Purchaser shall have the right, prior to Closing, to negotiate for such title insurance coverage with respect to its proposed purchase of the Properties as Purchaser shall desire.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, except for the Hotel Owners’ obligation to deliver title to the Real Properties pursuant to the Deeds subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, Purchaser’s satisfaction (or dissatisfaction) with the state of title or with the matters shown on any surveys of the Real Properties Purchaser may obtain shall not be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligations hereunder and that Purchaser shall have no right to terminate this Agreement on account of any matter affecting title to the Real Properties.

In the event the Joinder Condition has been satisfied, Purchaser shall, with Hotel Owners’ commercially reasonable cooperation, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain issuance of, at a minimum, temporary liquor licenses with respect to the Hotels.  If Purchaser is unable to obtain liquor licenses as of Closing, Hotel Owners (or the holder of the liquor licenses) and Purchaser shall enter into a customary interim liquor management agreement pursuant to which Hotel Owners (or the holder of the existing liquor licenses) shall manage the purchase, sale and service of alcoholic beverages at the Hotels.

Facilitator and/or the Hotel Owners shall be entitled to any refunds or abatements of Taxes awarded in such proceedings.

 

(b)                                 Tax Year Including the Closing Date.  Facilitator and/or the Hotel Owners shall have the right, at their cost and expense, to commence, continue and settle any proceeding to contest any Taxes for any tax year which includes the Closing Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser desires to contest any Taxes for such tax year and the applicable Hotel Owner has not then commenced any proceeding to contest any such Taxes for such tax year, Purchaser shall provide written notice requesting that such Hotel Owner contest such Taxes.  If Facilitator and/or the applicable Hotel Owner desire to contest such Taxes, Facilitator and/or such Hotel Owner shall provide written notice to Purchaser within thirty (30) days after receipt of Purchaser’s request confirming that Facilitator and/or such Hotel Owner will contest such Taxes, in which case such Hotel Owner shall proceed to contest such Taxes, and Purchaser shall not have the right to contest such Taxes; provided that at Closing, Facilitator and/or such Hotel Owner shall transfer such contest to Purchaser for Purchaser to continue the prosecution of such contest. If Facilitator and/or such Hotel Owner fails to provide such written notice confirming that Facilitator and/or such Hotel Owner will contest such Taxes within such thirty (30) day period, Purchaser shall have the right to contest such Taxes.  Any refunds or abatements awarded in such proceedings shall be used first to reimburse the Party contesting such Taxes for the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by such Party in contesting such Taxes, and the remainder of such refunds or abatements shall be prorated between the applicable Hotel Owner and Purchaser as of the Cut-Off Time, and the Party receiving such refunds or abatements promptly shall pay such prorated amount due to the other Party.

Section 7.6                                    Notices and Filings.  Subsequent to Closing, Facilitator and the Hotel Owners, on the one hand, and Purchaser, on the other hand, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with each other (at no cost or expense to the Party whose cooperation is requested, other than any de minimis cost or expense or any cost or expense which the requesting Party agrees in writing to reimburse) to (i) provide written notice to, and obtain any necessary consents or approvals from, any Person under any Tenant Leases, Contracts, Licenses and Permits, and (ii) effect any registrations or filings with any Governmental Authority or other Person, regarding the change in ownership of the Hotels.

Purchaser’s books and records for the Hotels applicable solely to the period prior to Closing to facilitate the preparation of any documents required to be filed by Facilitator and/or either of the Hotel Owners under Applicable Law or the resolution of any audit, litigation or other proceeding, claim or charge made by any Person or insurance claim involving Facilitator and/or either of the Hotel Owners or any of its or their Affiliates; provided, however, that (A) such Facilitator Indemnitees shall provide reasonable prior notice to Purchaser; (B) Purchaser shall not be required to provide such access during non-business hours; (C) Purchaser shall have the right to accompany the officer, employees, agents or representatives of such Facilitator Indemnitees in providing access to its books and records as provided in this Section 7.7.  Purchaser, at its cost and expense, shall retain all books and records for the period prior to Closing with respect to the Hotels for a period of four (4) years after the Closing.  Additionally, after Closing, the Parties shall mutually cooperate with one another (at no or de minimis expense to the cooperating Party) to provide access to the Properties on such basis as they shall reasonably agree in connection with the settlement, payment and/or adjudication of any pre- or post-Closing Liabilities.

 

Section 7.8                                    Further Assurances.   Each of the Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement (a) to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, all things reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under Applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and (b) to cause the satisfaction at the earliest practicable date of all of the conditions to their respective obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. After the Closing, Facilitator and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts (at no cost or expense to such Party, other than any de minimis cost or expense or any cost or expense which the requesting Party agrees in writing to reimburse) to further effect the transactions contemplated in this Agreement and to address any reasonable requests either may have in connection with any legal requirement, tax audit, tax return or other reporting obligations.

 

Section 7.9                                    Employee Matters.

 

(a)                                 Employees.  Purchaser shall retain Manager to manage and operate both of the Hotels after Closing.  For a period of 180 days following Closing, Purchaser shall cause Manager not to layoff or terminate employees in a manner that would result in Liability for any Party under the WARN Act.  This Section 7.9(a) is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, to create any agreement of employment with any Person or to otherwise create any third party beneficiary hereto.

 

(b)                                 Union Contracts.

 

(i)                                     Purchaser acknowledges that as of the date hereof, certain Employees (collectively the “Union Employees”) engaged to work at the Hotels are subject to union contracts (collectively the “Union Contracts”).

 

(ii)                                  At the Closing, to the extent Manager is not a signatory or otherwise bound by the Union Contracts, and except as otherwise agreed to by the applicable Union, Purchaser shall, and/or Purchaser shall cause Manager to:  (i) assume the Union Contracts; (ii) recognize the respective unions (each a “Union” and collectively, the “Unions”) as exclusive collective bargaining representatives of the respective Union Employees employed at the Hotels;

 

24



 

and (iii) become a signatory to the Union Contracts, adopting the Union Contracts with respect to the Hotels.

 

(c)                                  Multiemployer Pension Plans.

 

(i)                                     None of Facilitator or, to Facilitator’s Knowledge, any of the Hotel Owners is or was an “employer” with respect to either of the Hotels for purposes of Title IV of ERISA, and subsequent to the Closing Date, Purchaser will also not be an “employer” with respect to either of the Hotels for purposes of Title IV of ERISA. The “employer” with respect to each of the Hotels for purposes of Title IV of ERISA is the Manager, and the Manager prior to and immediately following the Closing Date and transaction effected by this Agreement shall be the same entity. As a result, none of Facilitator or any of the Hotel Owners has nor, subsequent to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall have, an obligation to contribute to the multiemployer pension plans with respect to the California Hotel and the New York Hotel, respectively, as set forth on Schedule 7.9(c) attached hereto (each a “Multiemployer Pension Plan”).

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that it is alleged that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may constitute a claimed partial or complete withdrawal by Facilitator or a Hotel Owner as determined under Title IV of ERISA, then the Parties agree as follows:

 

(1)                                 The purpose of this Section 7.9(c)(ii) is to satisfy the requirements of ERISA Section 4204 so that the transactions contemplated by this agreement will not result in any Party incurring any liability under Section 4201 of ERISA with respect to each such Multiemployer Pension Plan (“Withdrawal Liability”).  Each of the Parties mutually agree to cooperate in effecting the purposes of this Section 7.9(c)(ii) both before and after the Closing.

 

(2)                                 The Parties acknowledge and agree that Section 4204 of ERISA shall apply to the extent that the sale of the Properties otherwise would result in the imposition of liability on Facilitator or Hotel Owners due to a complete withdrawal or a partial withdrawal of Hotel Owners from any such Multiemployer Pension Plan pursuant to Section 4201, 4203 or 4205 of ERISA.  Accordingly, the Parties acknowledge and agree as follows:

 

a.                                      Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that, following the Closing, Purchaser shall contribute (or shall cause Manager to contribute) to each Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to the Property for substantially the same number of contribution base units (as defined in Section 4001(a)(11) of ERISA) for which Hotel Owners (or Manager as agent for Hotel Owners) or the ERISA Affiliate of any of them had an obligation to contribute to the Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to the Employees, within the meaning of ERISA Section 4204(a)(1)(A) in accordance with the Union Contracts;

 

b.                                      Unless a waiver (as described in the immediately succeeding sentence) is obtained, Purchaser, at its expense, shall obtain and provide to each Multiemployer Pension Plan for a period of five (5) plan years, commencing with the first plan year beginning after Closing, a bond or escrow required by ERISA Section 4204(a)(1)(B).  If requested by Purchaser, Facilitator and Hotel Owners shall cooperate in Purchaser’s requesting, a waiver of any such bond or escrow in accordance with PBGC Reg. Sections 4204.11, 4204.12 and 4204.13;

 

25



 

c.                                       If following Closing, Purchaser (or Manager) withdraws from a Multiemployer Pension Plan in a complete withdrawal or a partial withdrawal with respect to a Property’s operations at or before the end of the fifth plan year beginning after the Closing, Hotel Owners (or if any Hotel Owner is dissolved its ERISA Affiliates) shall be secondarily liable with respect to any Withdrawal Liability it would have had to the Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to such Property (but for the application of ERISA Section 4204) if the Withdrawal Liability of Purchaser (or Manager) is not paid, as provided under ERISA Section 4204(a)(1)(C).

 

(3)                                 Notwithstanding that Facilitator and Hotel Owners are secondarily liable under Section 7.9(c)(ii)(2)(c) above, Purchaser shall indemnify Facilitator, Hotel Owners and their ERISA Affiliates from any claims for Withdrawal Liability as a result of (i) Purchaser failing to fulfill its obligations under Section 7.9(c)(ii)(2)(a) or (b) above to the satisfaction of the applicable Multiemployer Pension Plan, or (ii) Facilitator, Hotel Owners or their ERISA Affiliates becoming secondarily liable for such Withdrawal Liability as described in Section 7.9(c)(ii)(2)(c).

 

(iii)                               Purchaser, Facilitator, Hotel Owners and Manager shall reasonably cooperate with each other and/or any representative of the applicable Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to any inquiry or reasonable request for information and assistance regarding any claim against Facilitator or a Hotel Owner for liability on account of a claimed partial or complete withdrawal by Facilitator or a Hotel Owner as determined under Title IV of ERISA, or, with respect to Facilitator or a Hotel Owner for claimed contributions owed by Facilitator or a Hotel Owner to the Multiemployer Pension Plan with respect to the Employees of a Hotel or any request for information made by a Multiemployer Pension Plan to Facilitator, any Hotel Owner, or any of their ERISA Affiliates.

 

Section 7.10                             Joinder.  From and after engagement by LaSalle with Facilitator for the purposes of the negotiation of the Merger Agreement, Facilitator shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, use their respective commercially reasonable efforts to cause LaSalle to enter into a joinder in the form attached hereto as Annex I (the “Joinder”).

 

Section 7.11                             Merger Agreement.  No Party shall waive (or agree to waive) or fail to enforce (or agree to fail to enforce) any rights under, or amend, modify or supplement any of the terms or conditions of the Merger Agreement (including, but not limited to, covenants calling for LaSalle (i) to operate in the ordinary course until the closing under the Merger Agreement, and (ii) not to terminate either or both of the Management Agreements for any reason other than a “for cause” termination of Manager) in a manner that would have a material impact on the Properties without Purchaser’s prior written consent.

 

Section 7.12                             Exclusivity.  From the date of this Agreement until the Closing or earlier termination of this Agreement, Facilitator shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, representatives, agents and investment bankers not to, directly or indirectly, discuss, pursue, solicit, initiate, participate in, facilitate, encourage or otherwise enter into any discussions, negotiations, agreements or other arrangements regarding, or which could lead to, a possible sale or other disposition (whether by merger, reorganization, recapitalization or otherwise) of all or any part of the Properties or the Hotels with any other Person other than Purchaser or its Affiliates (an “Acquisition Proposal”) or provide any information to any Person other than Purchaser and its Affiliates and its and their respective representatives, agents and lenders other than information which is traditionally

 

26



 

provided in the regular course of Facilitator’s and Hotel Owners’ business operations to third parties where Facilitator and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers and directors have no reason to believe that such information may be utilized to evaluate any Acquisition Proposal.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms and conditions of this Section 7.12 shall not apply with respect to Facilitator’s communications with LaSalle regarding the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

DEFAULT; FAILURE OF CLOSING CONDITIONS

 

Section 12.1                             Facilitator’s Default.  If Facilitator or any Hotel Owner (if the Joinder is executed) is in material default prior to or on the Closing Date of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, which default is not caused by a Purchaser Default, such that the conditions to closing set forth in Article VIII cannot be satisfied (other than those conditions which by their nature will not be satisfied until the Closing) (a “Facilitator Default”), and Facilitator has not cured such Facilitator Default within three (3) Business Days after Facilitator’s receipt of written notice of such Facilitator Default from Purchaser, then Purchaser, provided that Purchaser is not in material default under this Agreement, as its sole and exclusive remedies for such Facilitator Default, may elect during the continuance of such Facilitator Default either: (i) to terminate this Agreement by written notice to Facilitator and Escrow Agent prior to the cure of any such Facilitator Default, in which case Escrow Agent shall refund the Earnest Money to Purchaser, and the Parties shall have no further rights or Liabilities under this Agreement except for those provisions which specifically provide that they survive the termination of this Agreement; (ii) to waive the default and proceed to Closing without any reduction in or setoff against the Purchase Price; or (iii) in the event the Merger Agreement Closing Condition, the Merger Agreement Execution Condition and the Joinder Condition have each been satisfied (unless the Joinder Condition shall have been waived by Purchaser in accordance with Section 8.4), to seek specific performance of the terms hereof, including,

 

35



 

without limitation, Facilitator’s and Hotel Owners’ obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Joinder (if applicable).  In no event shall Facilitator or the Hotel Owners be personally liable for any damages.

 

While the Parties have agreed that New York law shall govern as to this Agreement, to the extent California law applies, as material consideration for Facilitator’s execution and delivery of this Agreement, Purchaser expressly waives any right under California Code of Civil Procedure, Part II, Title 4.5 (Sections 405 through 405.60), at common law or otherwise, to record or file a lis pendens or a notice of pendency of action or similar notice against all of any portion of the California Real Property.

 

Section 12.2                             Purchaser’s Default.  If (i) Purchaser has not deposited the Earnest Money within the time period provided in Section 3.2(a), and/or (ii) Purchaser is in material default of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement such that the conditions to closing set forth in Article VIII cannot be satisfied (other than those conditions which by their nature will not be satisfied until the Closing) (each a “Purchaser Default”), then Facilitator, as its sole and exclusive remedy, may elect to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, and, with respect to a Purchaser Default described in subsections (ii) above, Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Earnest Money to Facilitator within one (1) Business Day after such termination.  In the event of such termination, Facilitator (and the Hotel Owners) and Purchaser shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement, except those which expressly survive termination.  In no event shall Purchaser be personally liable for any damages.

 

PURCHASER AGREES THAT IF THIS AGREEMENT IS TERMINATED PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 12.2, THE DAMAGES THAT FACILITATOR WOULD SUSTAIN AS A RESULT OF SUCH TERMINATION WOULD BE DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE TO ASCERTAIN. ACCORDINGLY, PURCHASER AGREES THAT FACILITATOR SHALL RETAIN THE EARNEST MONEY AS FULL AND COMPLETE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND AS FACILITATOR’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR SUCH TERMINATION; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT FACILITATOR SHALL RETAIN ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OBLIGATIONS WHICH EXPRESSLY SURVIVE SUCH TERMINATION.  WHILE THE PARTIES HAVE AGREED THAT NEW YORK LAW SHALL GOVERN AS TO THIS AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT CALIFORNIA LAW SHALL APPLY, THE PAYMENT OF SUCH AMOUNT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES IS NOT INTENDED AS A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY WITHIN THE MEANING OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 3275 OR 3369, BUT IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO FACILITATOR PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTIONS 1671, 1676 AND 1677.
