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. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14(a) SHALL SURVIVE THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE PROVISIONS OF CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE SECTION 3389 WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFAULT BY PURCHASER OF ITS OBLIGATIONS TO CLOSE THE TRANSACTION. SELLER HEREBY WAIVES THE RIGHT OF SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE WITH RESPECT TO ANY BREACH OR DEFAULT BY PURCHASER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.
