     20.     DEFAULT.
          A.     CPA:14 DEFAULT; BUYER’S SOLE REMEDIES. If, after written demand, CPA:14 fails to consummate this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than by reason of (i) Buyer’s breach of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) Buyer’s continuing default of any of its material covenants hereunder after ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such default; (iii) a termination of this Agreement by Sellers or Buyer pursuant to a right to do so expressly provided for in this Agreement; or (iv) the failure of the satisfaction of any condition or contingency herein that is within the control of Buyer to satisfy), Buyer may either (1) terminate this Agreement by written notice to CPA:14, in which event all further rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will terminate or (2) pursue specific performance of this Agreement, provided, however, that such action in equity for specific performance is commenced by Buyer duly and properly filing and serving a complaint within sixty (60) days after the Outside Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Buyer may not terminate this Agreement or refuse to close the transactions contemplated hereby unless the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by CPA:14 has a material adverse effect on the Properties, taken as a whole. In the event of any continuing default by CPA:14 after Closing in any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement which survive Closing or any documents delivered by CPA:14 at Closing, and such default continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default from Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to pursue its remedies available at law or in equity.
          B.     BUYER’S DEFAULT; CPA:14’S SOLE REMEDIES. If after written demand, Buyer fails to consummate this Agreement in accordance with its terms (other than by
reason of (i) breach by CPA:14 of any of its representations or warranties contained in this Agreement; (ii) the continuing default by CPA:14 of any of its material covenants after ten (10) days’ prior written notice of such default; (iii) a termination of this Agreement by CPA:14 or Buyer pursuant to a right to do so expressly provided for in this Agreement; or (iv) the failure of the satisfaction of any condition or contingency herein that is within the control of CPA:14 to satisfy), CPA:14 may either terminate this Agreement, in which event all further rights and obligations of the parties hereunder will terminate, or CPA:14 may also pursue specific performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that such action in equity for specific performance is commenced by CPA:14 duly and properly filing a complaint within sixty (60) days after the Outside Closing Date (as hereinafter defined). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, CPA:14 may not terminate this Agreement or refuse to close the transactions contemplated hereby unless the breach of a representation, warranty or covenant by the Buyer has a material adverse effect on the Properties, taken as a whole. Buyer acknowledges that monetary damages are not sufficient to adequately compensate CPA:14 for a default by Buyer hereunder. In the event of Buyer’s continuing default after Closing in any of its representations, warranties or covenants in this Agreement which survive Closing or any documents delivered by Buyer at Closing, and such default continues for more than thirty (30) days after written notice of such default from CPA:14, CPA:14 shall be entitled to pursue any remedies available at law or in equity.

               (c)     by Buyer, upon a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of CPA:14 set forth in this Agreement that has a material adverse effect on the Properties, taken as a whole;

               (e)     by either Buyer or CPA:14, if the agreement and plan of merger referred to in Section 5 hereof is terminated prior to the Closing hereunder pursuant to its terms; and
               (f)     by either Buyer or CPA:14, if the Closing shall not have occurred before September 30, 2011 (the “Outside Closing Date”) (subject to automatic extension until December 31, 2011, if a condition to Closing hereunder which is not satisfied as of September 30, 2011 is reasonably likely to be satisfied by December 31, 2011).
