Upon the exercise of such option, the consummation of the assignment and conveyance of the Leasehold and the Equipment to "B" or its assignee or nominee shall be in accordance with the following terms and conditions:
(a) The closing shall be the date as specified in "A"s notice to "B" (but not sooner than 60 days after the date of such notice); provided, however, that the failure of "A" or its lender to timely close shall not relieve "B" of its obligations to purchase as herein described.

or construed to exclude or suspend any other remedy available to
"A" under the Building Lease and/or the Equipment
Lease, and this Agreement (and any exercise by "A" of
its option hereunder) shall be deemed cumulative and in addition
to every other right and remedy available under such Leases and
at law or in equity. In no event shall "C" be deemed a
third party beneficiary of this Agreement.
4. Authority. "B" hereby
represents and warrants that it has the right, power and
authority to enter into this Agreement and that no agreements
exist to which "B" is a party, or which are binding on
"B", which prohibit "B" from executing this
Agreement or with which this Agreement is in conflict.

hereunder (in whole or in part), may be assigned by "A"
to any lender as collateral or otherwise, or any successor owner

"A"s lender, and any outright assignment shall
fully release "A" from all obligations and covenants
hereunder pertaining to the portion so assigned. In the event

time as "B" receives notice from said lender that the
assignment is released, this Agreement may not be modified,
terminated or amended without the prior written approval of such
lender. All rights of "A" hereunder may be exercised by
