Rent and other sums paid pursuant to the Land Lease for the month in which Closing occurs (the "CURRENT MONTH") on a per diem basis, based upon the number of days in the Current Month prior to the Closing (which shall be allocated to Seller), and the number of days in the Current Month on and after the Closing (which shall be allocated to 8 Purchaser). (b) KENBEE LEASE RENT. Rent under the Kenbee Lease for the Current Month on a per diem basis, based upon the number of days in the Current Month prior to the Closing (which shall be allocated to Seller), and the number of days in the Current Month on and after the Closing (which shall be allocated to Purchaser). 10. DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION AND EMINENT DOMAIN. (a) RISK OF LOSS. Risk of loss by damage or destruction to the Improvements prior to Closing shall be borne by Purchaser, it being understood and agreed that the Closing shall proceed notwithstanding that the Improvements or any part thereof are damaged or destroyed by fire, storm, accident or other casualty or cause. In such event, on the Closing Date, Seller shall pay to Purchaser all casualty insurance proceeds received by Seller in respect of such damage or destruction, including rent loss proceeds, if any, ("PROCEEDS"), and shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's interest in any Proceeds payable to Seller. Seller agrees to assist and cooperate with Purchaser in collecting the insurance proceeds. (b) EMINENT DOMAIN PRIOR TO CLOSING. If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any material portion of the Land or Improvements is taken by eminent domain or condemnation (or is the subject of a pending or contemplated taking of all or a material portion of the Seller Interests which has not been consummated), Seller shall promptly notify Purchaser of such fact, whereupon, Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the Seller given within five (5) business days after the Purchaser's receipt of Seller's notice. For purposes of this Paragraph, a material portion of the Land or Improvements shall be deemed to be any portion with a value in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). If this Agreement is terminated in accordance with this subparagraph, Escrow Agent shall immediately return the Earnest Money to Purchaser, this Agreement shall terminate and thereafter neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder. If Purchaser does not exercise its option to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this subparagraph (b), Seller shall, at Closing, assign and deliver to Purchaser all awards for the taking by eminent domain or condemnation, and there shall be no adjustment of the Purchase Price. 11. DEFAULT; REMEDIES. (a) In the event Purchaser shall default in the performance of Purchaser's obligations under this Agreement and the Closing does not occur as a result thereof (a "PURCHASER DEFAULT"), Seller's sole and exclusive remedy shall be, and Seller shall be entitled, to retain the Earnest Money and any interest earned thereon as and for full and complete liquidated and agreed damages for Purchaser's default, and Purchaser shall be released from any further liability to Seller hereunder. Seller and Purchaser agree that it would be impractical and extremely difficult to 9 estimate the damages which seller may suffer upon a purchaser default and that the Earnest Money and any interest earned thereon, represents a reasonable estimate of the total net detriment that seller would suffer upon a purchaser default. Such liquidated and agreed damages are not intended as a forfeiture or a penalty within the meaning of applicable law. (b) In the event that Seller shall default in the performance of Seller's obligations under this Agreement and the Closing does not occur as a result thereof, Purchaser shall be entitled, to either (a) terminate this Agreement and instruct Escrow Agent to pay to Purchaser the Earnest Money with the interest earned thereon, if any, upon which Seller shall be released from any further liability to Purchaser hereunder, (b) seek specific performance of Seller's obligation to convey title to the Property as provided hereunder, or (c) seek such damages or other remedy available at law or in equity. 12.

If Escrow Agent shall have received a written notice of objection within the time herein prescribed, Escrow Agent shall not comply with any requests or demands on it and shall continue to hold the Earnest Money, together with any interest earned thereon, until Escrow Agent receives either (i) a written notice signed by both Seller and Purchaser stating who is entitled to the Earnest Money (and interest) or (ii) a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing disbursement of the Earnest Money (and interest) in a specific manner, in either of which events Escrow Agent shall then disburse the Earnest Money, together with the interest earned thereon, in accordance with such notice or order. Escrow Agent shall not be or become liable in any way or to any person for its refusal to comply with any such requests or demands until and unless it has received a direction of the nature described in subdivision (i) or (ii) above.
