10.2        Condemnation .   If, prior to the Closing, all or any material part of the Facility is taken by eminent domain (or becomes the subject of a pending taking which has not yet been consummated), Seller shall notify Purchaser of such fact promptly after obtaining knowledge thereof and Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Agreement (in whole but not in part) by giving notice thereof to Seller not later than ten (10) days after the giving of Seller’s notice (and, if necessary, the Closing Date shall be extended until the second day after the expiration of such ten-day period).  If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be paid to Purchaser, whereupon, this Agreement shall terminate and be of no further force and effect and no party shall have any rights or obligations hereunder except for the Surviving Obligations.  If less than a material part of the Facility shall be affected or if Purchaser shall not elect to terminate this Agreement as aforesaid, the sale of the Facility shall be consummated as herein provided without any adjustment to the Purchase Price (except to the extent of any condemnation award received by Seller prior to the Closing) and the Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all of Seller’s right, title and interest in and to all awards, if any, for the taking, and Purchaser shall be entitled to receive and keep all awards for the taking of the Facility or portion thereof.
