IN THE EVENT THE CLOSING AND THE CONSUMMATION OF THE TRANSACTION HEREIN CONTEMPLATED DOES NOT OCCUR AS HEREIN PROVIDED BY REASON OF ANY DEFAULT OF BUYER, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT IT WOULD BE IMPRACTICAL AND EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ESTIMATE THE DAMAGES SUFFERED BY SELLER AS A RESULT OF BUYER’S FAILURE TO COMPLETE THE PURCHASE OF THE PROPERTY PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES EXISTING AS OF THE DATE OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES PROVIDED FOR IN THIS SECTION REPRESENT A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL INCUR AS A RESULT OF SUCH FAILURE; PROVIDED, HOWEVER THAT THIS PROVISION WILL NOT LIMIT SELLER’S RIGHT TO RECEIVE REIMBURSEMENT FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT OR LIMIT BUYER’S RELEASE OR INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS AND SELLER’S RIGHTS TO THOSE RELEASE AND INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, NOR WAIVE OR AFFECT BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS TO RETURN OR PROVIDE TO SELLER DOCUMENTS, REPORTS OR OTHER INFORMATION PROVIDED TO OR PREPARED BY OR FOR BUYER PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

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 SELLER PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA.
