- 7.2.1.2.1 if any of the conditions set out in Section 5.1 (Conditions for the Benefit of the Buyer) or 5.3 (Mutual Conditions Precedent) which has not been waived by the Buyer is not satisfied at or before the Closing Time; or
- 7.2.1.2.2 subject to Section 5.3.6, if any of the conditions set out in Section 5.1 (Conditions for the Benefit of the Buyer) or 5.3 (Mutual Conditions Precedent) which has not been waived by the Buyer is not capable of being satisfied by the Outside Date,
in each case provided that the failure to satisfy that condition is not the result, directly or indirectly, of the Buyer's breach of this Agreement; or

in each case provided that the failure to satisfy that condition is not the result, directly or indirectly, of the breach of this Agreement by the Seller or any of the Subsidiaries.
7.2.2 This Agreement may be terminated at any time after the first Closing, by the Buyer or the Seller, upon written notice to the other Parties, on the later of: (i) the last remaining Application being refused; and (ii) if the last Closing does not occur by 11:59 p.m. Vancouver Time on the Outside Date, provided that the Buyer may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.2.2 if the failure of the Closing to occur is the result, directly or indirectly, of the Buyer's breach of this Agreement, and the Seller may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 7.2.2 if the failure of the Closing to occur is the result, directly or indirectly, of the breach of this Agreement by the Seller or any Subsidiary.

- 7.2.3.2 the Subsidiary subject to the Abandoned Closing shall be transferred to the Buyer in consideration for the payment of $1.00 paid by the Buyer to the Seller.
For avoidance of doubt, the Seller and the Buyer hereby agree that in respect of any Subsidiary subject to an Abandoned Closing, other than the consideration set out in this Section 7.1.3, no other consideration shall be payable by the Buyer. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, should the Buyer (i) obtain a Licence in respect of any of the Leased Premises occupied by a Subsidiary listed in Schedule B, or (ii) assign, transfer, or sell a Subsidiary to a person not a party to this Agreement, at any time following the transfer of such Subsidiary from the Seller to the Buyer pursuant to Section 7.2.3.2 above, the Buyer shall pay the Purchase Consideration set forth in Section (3) of Schedule C hereto to the Seller upon the Buyer obtaining such Licence or the Buyer transferring, assigning or selling such Subsidiary to a person not a party to this Agreement.
