8.2.1.1 Qualification and Good Standing. Purchaser is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.

OPERATION OF THE PROPERTY PENDING CLOSING

9.1 Actions and Operations Pending Closing. Seller agrees that, between the date hereof and the earlier of the Closing Date or the termination of the Contract pursuant to the terms hereof:

9.1.1 the Hotel will continue to be operated and maintained substantially in accordance with its present standards;

9.1.2 Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser's reasonable discretion, enter into any contracts or commitments with respect to the Hotel involving any capital expenditures or material construction; provided, however, that such consent of Purchaser shall not be required (a) in the event of a Casualty or an Emergency or (b) with respect to matters set forth on Seller's calendar year 2005 capital expenditures budget;

9.1.3 Seller will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which may be granted or withheld in Purchaser's reasonable discretion, (a) sell, pledge or transfer any of its interest in any of the Property other than in the ordinary course of business, (b) enter into any (i) new Property Contracts or (ii) new licenses or permits or (iii) cancel, materially modify or renew any of the existing Property Contracts (other than a Non--Material Property Contract) or Leases; provided, however, that Seller may, without Purchaser's prior consent, enter into (I) Non--Material Contracts, (II) purchase orders for Personal Property, any Inventory, Consumables and/or Operating Equipment in the ordinary course of business, and (III) applications to obtain or renew Permits used in the ordinary course of business or required for the continued operation of the business of the Hotel or the transfer contemplated hereby;

9.1.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1.2, Seller shall have the right, without giving notice to or receiving the consent of Purchaser, to make and accept cancellations of Bookings in the ordinary course of business;

9.1.5 Except as set forth in Section 10.1, Seller will execute, and Purchaser will cooperate in the execution of, all applications and instruments reasonably requested by Purchaser which are required in connection with the transfer of all transferable Permits (other than Excluded Permits) in order to transfer the benefits of such Permits to Purchaser on the Closing Date; provided, however, no such transfer shall be effective unless and until the Closing occurs. Purchaser shall be responsible for, and pay immediately upon Seller's request, all costs related to such applications and instruments. Seller, subject to the next succeeding sentence, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to preserve in force all existing Permits and to cause all those expiring during the period between the date hereof and the Closing to be renewed prior to the Closing Date. If any such Permit (other than Excluded Permits, but inclusive of the Existing Liquor License) shall be suspended or revoked, Seller shall promptly so notify Purchaser and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the reinstatement of such Permit without any additional limitation or condition;

9.1.6 During the seven--day period prior to the Closing Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to have up to two representatives at the Hotel, at reasonable times and under reasonable circumstances, to observe the operations of the Hotel, provided (a) at least 48 hours in advance, Purchaser makes arrangements with Hotel management regarding sending such representative(s) to the Hotel and (b) such representative(s) do not interfere with Hotel management or employees or any of the operations of the Hotel; and

9.1.7 To the extent maintained by a prudent owner of comparable properties that are similarly situated to the Hotel, Seller will maintain in effect all policies of insurance for the Hotel which are in effect as of the date hereof, or similar policies of insurance, with no less than the limits of coverage now carried with respect to the Hotel.

Other than utility easements and temporary construction easements granted by Seller in the ordinary course of business, Seller covenants that it will not voluntarily create or cause any lien or encumbrance to attach to the Property between the Effective Date and the Closing Date (other than Leases and Property Contracts as provided in Section 9.1) unless Purchaser approves such lien or encumbrance, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If Purchaser approves any such subsequent lien or encumbrance, the same shall be deemed a Permitted Encumbrance for all purposes hereunder.

ARTICLE X COVENANTS

10.1 Liquor License. Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that it is Purchaser's sole responsibility to arrange for the transfer of the Existing Liquor License (to the extent allowed by applicable law) to Purchaser to allow Purchaser to conduct the service of alcoholic beverages at the Hotel from and after Closing. At Purchaser's sole cost and expense, Seller shall cooperate with Purchaser in arranging for such transfer or issuance, and to that end, Seller shall execute a consent to transfer of Existing Liquor License in the form attached hereto as Exhibit H. In arranging for transfer of the Existing Liquor License from Seller to Purchaser and for purposes of satisfying the requirements of the Wyoming Department of Revenue, Liquor Division, Purchaser and Seller shall, in the application for transfer of the Existing Liquor License, designate the General Manager of the Hotel as an officer of Purchaser and shall list the Hotel Manager on the application for transfer as designated by the Wyoming Department of Revenue. Seller and Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to complete and file the application for transfer of the Existing Liquor License within 30 days after Closing. Transfer of the Existing Liquor License shall not be a condition to Closing; however, if such transfer is not completed at or prior to Closing (and provided Seller is not precluded by law or appropriate governmental authority), in order to enable Purchaser to serve such alcoholic beverages from and after Closing, Seller shall, on or prior to the Closing Date, enter into such appropriate arrangement as shall be reasonably acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (but only for a period of up to five months after Closing), including, without limitation, a leasing of the space in which alcoholic beverages are sold pursuant to any applicable liquor license and/or a liquor license management contract (a "Liquor License Agreement"). The parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to agree upon a form of Liquor License Agreement with respect to such anticipated arrangement within 15 days after the Effective Date. In such event, Purchaser shall purchase insurance in such amounts and in such forms as Seller shall reasonably require,

including, without limitation, dram shop liability insurance, insuring Seller and such related entities and individuals as Seller shall specify against any and all liabilities which may arise pursuant to such arrangement. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from any claim, expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements), loss, liability or other damage incurred by Seller by reason of such arrangement. The provisions of this Section 10.1 shall survive Closing.

10.2 Indemnities and Releases.

10.2.1 Purchaser's Indemnity. From and after the Closing, Purchaser shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Seller Indemnified Parties free and harmless from and against (a) any and all third--party Losses for personal injury or death and property damage to the extent related to the Hotel and also accruing from and after the Closing, and (b) any Losses to the extent arising from a breach of Purchaser's representations set forth in Section 8.2 ("Seller's Claims"). Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, (x) the indemnity set forth in subsentence (a) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (y) the indemnity set forth in subsentence (b) above shall survive for 9 months after the Closing Date. Such indemnity, as well as Purchaser's representations set forth in Section 8.2 shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect on the date immediately succeeding the 9--month anniversary of the Closing Date, unless on or before such date, Seller shall have provided notice hereunder to Purchaser alleging that Purchaser shall be in breach of such representation or warranty and that Seller shall have suffered actual damages as a result thereof. Seller shall then have 30 days following delivery of such notice to commence a legal proceeding against Purchaser. If Seller has not commenced a legal proceeding against Purchaser within such 30--day period following delivery of notice, then such representations and indemnity shall be null and void and Purchaser's obligations under this Section 10.2.1 with respect to such representations and indemnity shall terminate.

10.2.2 Seller's Indemnity. From and after the Closing, Seller shall protect, defend, indemnify and hold Purchaser and Purchaser's officers, directors, shareholders, Affiliates, partners, members, parents, subsidiaries, successors and assigns (collectively, "Purchaser Indemnified Parties"), free and harmless from and against (a) any and all third--party Losses for personal injury or death and property damage to the extent related to the Hotel and also accruing prior to the Closing, (b) any Losses to the extent arising from (i) a breach of Seller's Representations, or (ii) a breach of Seller's covenants set forth in Sections 9.1.2 and 9.1.3 (except to the extent that Purchaser has knowledge of an inaccuracy or breach of representation, warranty or covenant as provided in the last sentence of the last paragraph of Section 8.1 and nonetheless closes), or (iii) a breach of Seller's covenant set forth in Section 10.7 (collectively, "Purchaser's Claims"). Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, (x) the indemnity set forth in subsentence (a) shall survive until the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and (y) the indemnity set forth in subsentence (b) above shall survive for 9 months after the Closing Date other than the indemnity under clause (iii) of subsentence (b), which shall survive until the issuance of a "no further action" or equivalent advice from the applicable governmental agency. Such indemnity shall automatically be null and void and of no further force and effect on the date immediately succeeding the periods set forth in clauses (x) and (y), unless on or before such applicable date, Purchaser shall have provided notice hereunder alleging that Seller shall be in breach of such representation or warranty and that Purchaser shall have

suffered actual damages as a result thereof. Purchaser shall then have 30 days following delivery of such notice to commence a legal proceeding against Seller. If Purchaser has not commenced a legal proceeding against Seller within such 30--day period following delivery of notice, then such representations and indemnity shall be null and void and Seller's obligations under this Section

10.2.2 with respect to such representations and indemnity shall terminate. The maximum aggregate amount of liability that Seller shall have under any circumstance under this Contract for any claim or Loss (singularly or in aggregate of all claims and Losses) for a breach of Seller's Representations and the indemnity obligation set forth in subsentence (ii) shall not exceed, in the aggregate, $1,500,000 (the "Damage Cap"); provided, however, that Purchaser shall not have the right to assert a claim under this Section 10.2.2 for a breach of Seller's Representations or the indemnity obligation set forth in subsentence (ii) unless the Loss to Purchaser on account of such breach (individually or when combined with Losses from other breaches) equals or exceeds $75,000 (the "Threshold"), in which event Purchaser may assert claims for the full amount of such Loss in excess of such Threshold, but in no event to exceed the Damage Cap. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Threshold shall not apply to any claim for indemnification under clause (iii) of subsentence (b) of this Section 10.2.2 and (ii) to the extent that the Hotel maintains insurance with respect to a matter that would be a Purchaser Claim, Purchaser shall first seek recovery from such insurance (and not from Seller) and only the amounts not so covered by insurance shall count toward the Threshold.

10.2.3 Assumed Obligations. Whenever it is expressly provided in this Contract that one party shall assume an obligation or be responsible for a payment, the party assuming such obligation shall be deemed to have also agreed to indemnify and hold harmless the other party from all Losses arising from any failure of the assuming party to perform such obligation or make such payment.

10.2.4 Indemnification Process. The party seeking or entitled to indemnification under this Contract shall provide prompt notice to the other party (the "Indemnitor") specifying, with reasonable detail, the matter for which such indemnification is claimed. The Indemnitor shall have the right, upon giving Notice to the other party within 30 days after the date it received Notice from such party, to take primary responsibility for the prosecution or defense of such matter, provided such prosecution or defense is diligently pursued with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If the Indemnitor takes responsibility for the prosecution or defense of the action, the indemnitee may participate at the indemnitee's own cost and defense in such action. The Indemnitor shall not settle or compromise any claim without the indemnitee's consent, unless the Indemnitor does so without imposing any obligations on the indemnitee or admitting liability on behalf of the indemnitee.

10.2.5 Survival. This Section 10.2 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Contract.

10.3 Hotel Books and Records. For a period of 90 days following the Closing Date, Seller and its Affiliates shall, subject to any confidentiality and/or proprietary restrictions, make available to Purchaser any computer systems, books, records, ledgers, files, information and data that are in the possession of Seller or its Affiliates and relate to the ownership or operation of the Property but were not included within the Hotel Books and Records conveyed to Purchaser at Closing.

10.4 Assignment of Property Contracts. If any Property Contract or Lease requires consent to such assignment from Seller to Purchaser, but such consent has not been obtained prior to Closing, this Contract, to the extent permitted by law, shall constitute an equitable assignment by Seller to Purchaser of all of Seller's rights, benefits, title and interest in and to the assigned Property Contracts or Leases, and Purchaser shall, as between Purchaser and Seller, assume the obligations of Seller under such Property Contracts or Leases and indemnify Seller from any Losses arising from such Property Contracts or Leases from and after the Closing Date, as set forth in Section 10.2.3. The terms of this Section 10.4 shall survive the termination of this Contract, and if not so terminated, the Closing and delivery of the Deed.

10.5 Confidentialitv/Return of Documents. Purchaser and Seller each hereby agree to comply with the Confidentiality Agreement, at all times after the date of this Contract and prior to the Closing, unless otherwise expressly consented to in writing by the other party. In addition, Seller and Purchaser each agree to keep strictly confidential the existence and terms of this Contract and all information provided to or obtained by Seller or Purchaser pursuant to this Contract or otherwise in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby; provided, however, that such information may be disclosed (a) to employees, officers and directors of Purchaser or Seller or to Purchaser's or Seller's outside counsel and accountants or other consultants subject to the same standard of confidentiality, (b) as may be required by law or a court or (c) to the extent required under any filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any securities exchange. In addition, Seller may publicly announce the existence of the Contract, the Purchase Price, name of Purchaser, scheduled Closing Date, the existence of a Hotel Management Agreement and the Hotel Manager. Prior to or simultaneously with making any permitted disclosure, the party making such disclosure agrees to provide the other party hereto with a true and complete copy thereof Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that all materials and information relating to the Property supplied to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller or obtained by Purchaser in accordance with Article III and Article IV shall be treated in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Section 10.5. Such information shall be used solely for evaluating Purchaser's investment in the Property. If this Contract terminates or the transaction contemplated under this Contract fails to close for any reason whatsoever, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all of the documents, financial statements, reports or other information relating to the Property supplied to Purchaser by or on behalf of Seller and all Third--Party Reports (to the extent Purchaser is not legally prohibited in its reasonable judgment from delivering such materials to Seller). This Section 10.5 shall survive the Closing or termination of this Contract.

10.6 Assignment of Certain Litigation. Seller hereby assigns to Purchaser all of its interest in the litigation case pending in the District Court in and for Teton County, Wyoming, Ninth Judicial District, styled JHL&S LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company, Plaintiff, v. Union Pointe General Contractors; Design Resources, an Idaho corporation (Civil Case No. 13239) (the "Case"), and to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the court's approval of any order substituting Purchaser for Seller, as plaintiff in the Case. In the event that Seller is not able to obtain the court's approval of such substitution within a reasonable time after Closing, Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue recovery in the Case, provided that Purchaser shall be entitled to any of the proceeds of any recovery therein (including any recovery pursuant to settlement of the Case), after deduction and prompt payment to Seller of all fees and expenses thereof, including, without limitation, the fees and costs of any of Seller's

attorneys or experts and the costs relating to any professional testing incurred by Seller in connection with the Case.

10.7 Remediation of Underground Storage Tank. Seller shall pay, or promptly reimburse Purchaser for, any costs of environmental remediation for any release of heating oil from, or other non--compliance with applicable Environmental Laws in connection with, that certain underground storage tank that was used by Seller for the storage of heating oil for the operation of certain boilers in the Hotel until December 1, 2005 to the extent necessary to obtain a "no further action" letter or equivalent advice from the applicable governmental agency.

10.8 General Ledger Software. Seller shall pay, or promptly reimburse Purchaser for, the reasonable costs of purchasing a license for, and initial installation of, general ledger software for the operation of the Hotel subsequent to the Closing.

10.9 Jackson Hole Access Agreement. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain termination of that certain letter agreement, dated August 7, 2002, with Jackson Hole Mountain Resort that provides ski--in access across the land owned by Jackson Hole Mountain Resort land, including execution by Seller and Jackson Hole Mountain Resort of a release agreement regarding such letter agreement.

Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages for such default by Purchaser. SELLER AND PURCHASER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT SELLER'S DAMAGES WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE, AND THAT THE DEPOSIT IS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES RESULTING FROM A DEFAULT BY PURCHASER IN ITS OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY. SELLER AND PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 12.1 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIQUIDATE THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE SELLER, AND SHALL BE SELLER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST PURCHASER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT, OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO PURCHASER'S INDEMNITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.

12.2 Seller Default. If Seller. prior to the Closing, defaults in its representations, warranties, covenants, or obligations under this Contract, including to sell the Property as required by this Contract, and such default continues for more than ten days after written notice from Purchaser, then, at Purchaser's election and as Purchaser's sole and exclusive remedy, either

  1. this Contract shall terminate, and all payments and things of value, including the Deposit, provided by Purchaser hereunder shall be returned to Purchaser, and Purchaser may recover, as its sole recoverable damages (but without limiting its right to receive a refund of the Deposit), its direct and actual out--of--pocket expenses and costs (documented by paid invoices to third parties) in connection with this transaction, which damages shall not exceed $100,000 in aggregate, or
  2. Purchaser may seek, within 60 days after the expiration of the cure period for such default, specific performance of Seller's obligation to deliver the Deed and all other documents provided for herein and perform all of its obligations pursuant to this Contract (but not damages). Purchaser agrees that it shall promptly deliver to Seller an assignment of all of Purchaser's right, title and interest in and to (together with possession of) all plans, studies, surveys, reports, and other materials paid for with the out--of--pocket expenses reimbursed by Seller pursuant to the foregoing sentence, except to the extent that such assignments are prohibited by contract. SUBJECT TO PURCHASER'S RIGHTS UNDER CLAUSE (b) ABOVE, SELLER AND

PURCHASER FURTHER AGREE THAT THIS SECTION 12.2 IS INTENDED TO AND DOES LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF DAMAGES DUE PURCHASER TO $100,000.00 AND THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO PURCHASER, AND SHALL BE PURCHASER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AGAINST SELLER, BOTH AT LAW AND IN EQUITY, ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO A BREACH BY SELLER OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATION TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS CONTRACT IN THE EVENT THAT THE CLOSING DOES NOT OCCUR. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PURCHASER SEEK OR BE ENTITLED TO RECOVER ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, ALL OF WHICH PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES, FROM SELLER FOR ANY BREACH BY SELLER, OF ITS REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR COVENANTS OR ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT. PURCHASER SPECIFICALLY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO FILE ANY LIS PENDENS OR ANY LIEN AGAINST THE PROPERTY UNLESS AND UNTIL IT HAS IRREVOCABLY ELECTED TO SEEK SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE OF THIS CONTRACT AND HAS FILED AN ACTION SEEKING SUCH REMEDY.

ARTICLE XIII
RISK OF LOSS OR CASUALTY

13.1 Casualties .

13.1.1 Notice. If any substantial damage to the Property shall occur on or before the Closing Date by reason of fire or other casualty (a "Casualty"), Seller will give Purchaser Notice (a "Casualty Notice") of such event upon the earlier of the Closing Date or five Business Days following such Casualty.

13.1.2 Restoration. If the cost to repair and restore the Real Property exceeds $3,000,000 or more than 40 rooms will be out of service for more than 120 days (as reasonably estimated by an independent and disinterested architect or registered professional engineer competent to make such estimate and selected by Seller no later than 15 Business Days following such Casualty), then Purchaser shall have the option to terminate this Contract by giving Seller notice to such effect within five Business Days after the receipt of the report of the architect or engineer referred to above. If Purchaser elects to terminate this Contract pursuant to this Section 13.1.2, this Contract shall be deemed null and void (except for those obligations which expressly survive termination), the parties hereto shall have no further obligations to or recourse against each other except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser does not timely elect to terminate this Contract as hereinabove provided, or if Purchaser is obligated to close because the cost to repair or restore the Casualty (as reasonably estimated by the independent and disinterested architect or registered professional engineer described above) does not exceed the amount set forth above, then the Closing shall take place as herein provided without adjustment of the Purchase Price, and, subject to Section 13.1.3 hereof, Seller shall, at the Closing, pay or assign to Purchaser (by written instrument in the case of any assignment, but without recourse, representation or warranty) the proceeds from all fire and other casualty insurance paid or payable to Seller with respect to the Casualty.

13.1.3 To the extent that Seller, in accordance with this Contract, elects to commence any repair, replacement or restoration of the Property prior to Closing, then Seller shall be entitled to receive and apply available insurance proceeds to any portion of such repair, replacement or restoration completed or installed prior to Closing, with Purchaser being responsible for completion of such repair, replacement or restoration after Closing from the balance of any available insurance proceeds. The provisions of this Section 13.1.3 shall survive the Closing and delivery of the Deed to Purchaser.

ARTICLE XIV
EMINENT DOMAIN

14.1 Condemnation.

14.1.1 In the event that, at the time of Closing, any part of the Real Property is permanently taken by condemnation or power of eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending permanent taking that has not yet been consummated), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof. If such taking is Material, Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract by giving written notice within ten days after Purchaser's receipt from Seller of notice of the occurrence of such event, and if Purchaser so terminates this

Contract, Purchaser shall recover the Deposit (subject to Purchaser's obligation under Section 3.2 to return all Third--Party Reports and information and Materials provided to Purchaser as a pre--condition to the return of the Deposit). If Purchaser fails to terminate this Contract within such ten--day period or does not have the right to terminate this Contract under this Article XIV, Purchaser shall accept so much of the Real Property as remains after such taking (or subject to a pending taking that has not yet been consummated, as the case may be) in its "as--is" condition and proceed with Closing with no abatement of the Purchase Price. At Closing, Seller shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, without recourse, the rights of Seller to any awards for the taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and retain such awards, in any event less reasonable out--of--pocket costs incurred by Seller to collect same and the portion thereof that Seller uses to make (i) temporary or emergency repairs to the Real Property arising from such taking, (ii) except for temporary or emergency repairs to the Real Property arising from such taking, Seller shall not make any repairs or restore the Real Property or enter into any contracts with respect thereto without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned (it being understood and agreed that Seller shall have no duty or obligation to Purchaser to repair or restore the Real Property), and (iii) at the Closing, Seller shall assign to Purchaser all of Seller's rights under, and Purchaser shall assume all of Seller's obligations thereafter arising under, any contracts to which Seller is a party with respect to any such repair or restoration of the Real Property resulting from such taking permitted under clauses (i) and (ii) above.

14.1.2 If, prior to the Closing Date, all or any portion of the Real Property is temporarily taken by condemnation or power of eminent domain (or is the subject of a pending temporary taking that has not yet been consummated), (a) Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof, (b) Purchaser shall accept the Real Property in its "as--is" condition and proceed with Closing with no abatement of the Purchase Price, (c) Seller shall not compromise, settle or adjust any claims to awards for the taking without the prior written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or

conditioned, (d) at Closing, Seller shall assign and turn over to Purchaser, without recourse, the rights of Seller to awards, if any, for the taking to the extent relating to or allocable to the period from and after the Closing Date (it being understood and agreed that Seller shall be entitled to receive and retain any such award to the extent that it relates to or is allocable to the period prior to the Closing Date, whether or not the award is received prior to, on or after Closing), and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep such awards for the taking, in any event less an allocable share of the costs incurred by Seller to collect same and the portion thereof that Seller uses to make temporary or emergency repairs to the Real Property arising from such taking.

14.2 Defined Terms. As used in this Article XIV, the term "Material" means, in the case of a taking, if, as a result of such taking, the remaining portion of the Real Property, if any, cannot reasonably be expected to be operated in a manner that yields substantially the same economic return on Purchaser's investment as the Real Property immediately prior to such taking, or such taking results in the taking or other permanent loss of any necessary legal ingress and/or egress from the Real Property to public roads.
