17 <br /> Subdivision Plat may be delayed by a governmental agency through no fault of Buyer or Seller. Any such <br /> delay shall not be a breach or default of this Agreement, and the Closing shall be extended, if necessary, <br /> to account for delays outside the control of Buyer or Seller related to the review, execution, and recording <br /> of the Subdivision Plat by a Governmental Agency. If Seller fails to record the Subdivision Plat after all <br /> governmental agencies have reviewed and approved it,or if Seller fails to submit the Subdivision Plat for <br /> review and approval by all necessary governmental agencies on or before the Closing Date,then those <br /> failures shall constitute a material default by Seller, and Buyer may exercise Buyer's rights under <br /> Section 8.2 of this Contract. <br /> (e) Declaration and Easements Recorded. Seller shall cause the Declaration and <br /> Easements to be recorded at or prior to Closing. If Seller fails to record the Declaration,then that failure <br /> shall constitute a material default by Seller, and Buyer may exercise Buyer's rights under Section 8.2 of <br /> this Contract. <br /> (f) Board Approval. The Orange County Board of Commissioners shall have <br /> approved the purchase of the Property and otherwise allocated sufficient funds in its annual budget to <br /> complete the Closing,provided however,the Earnest Money and all Extension Deposits will be fully at <br /> risk(except in the event of a Seller default) following the expiration of the Inspection Period if Buyer <br /> does not complete the Closing pursuant to this Section 7.4(f). <br /> In the event any of the above contingencies are not satisfied prior to Closing,this <br /> Agreement, and the parties' obligations under this Agreement, at the sole option of Buyer,will be <br /> cancelled and of no force and effect. Buyer and Seller will utilize their commercially reasonable best <br /> efforts to satisfy all of the sale contingencies and close the transactions governed by this Contract as <br /> expeditiously as possible. <br /> ARTICLE VIII <br /> Default/Remedies <br /> 8.1 Buyer's Default. If, after the end of the Inspection Period, Buyer fails to perform any of <br /> its obligations under this Contract,then Seller shall notify Buyer of such default. If Buyer fails to cure that <br /> default within ten(10)days after receipt of that notice, then Seller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, <br /> terminate this Contract by giving notice to Buyer in which event the Earnest Money shall be delivered to <br /> Seller as full liquidated damages and all rights and obligations of Seller and Buyer under this Contract shall <br /> terminate (other than those that expressly survive termination of this Contract). Buyer and Seller have <br /> agreed that the Earnest Money is a reasonable estimate of the damages that would be suffered by Seller and <br /> that any other measure of damages is speculative and uncertain. <br /> 8.2 Seller's Default. If Seller fails to perform any of its obligations under this Contract or if <br /> Seller breaches any representation or warranty under this Contract, then Buyer may notify Seller of such <br /> default. If Seller fails to cure that default within ten (10) days after receipt of that notice (except that if <br /> Seller's default is the failure to close on the sale of the Property on the Closing Date,then Seller shall have <br /> no cure period for such default),then Buyer may as its sole remedies hereunder elect one of the following: <br /> (a)terminate this Contract, receive a refund of the Earnest Money and all Extension Deposits, and receive <br /> payment from Seller for all costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the purchase of the <br /> Property, including its reasonable attorneys' fees; (b)obtain specific performance of any provision of this <br /> Contract and Seller shall indemnify Buyer for all costs and expenses, including Buyer's reasonable <br /> attorneys' fees, related to any action that is necessary to obtain specific performance; or (c)proceed to <br /> Closing without waiving that failure or breach. <br /> 12 <br />
