Agreement is not completed as herein provided solely by reason of any material default of Seller,
Buyer's deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and Buyer shall have the right to pursue any remedy
available at law or in equity for such default of Seller, including, without limitation, the specific
performance of this Agreement.
4.14 Statement of Buyer and Seller Concerning Executory Terms. Buyer and Seller
acknowledge that the consummation of the Escrow is contingent upon compliance with some or
all of the executory terms and provisions of this Agreement and that the parties hereto are the
sole persons or entities entitled and authorized to determine whether all executory terms and
provisions required to be performed prior to the Close of Escrow have been satisfied or deemed
satisfied prior to the close of Escrow. Accordingly, prior to the Scheduled Closing Date, Buyer
and Seller, shall each deposit with Escrow Holder a written statement acknowledging that all
executory terms and provisions of this Agreement, insofar as the same relate to each party
respectively and any obligation of Escrow Holder relating thereto, have been satisfied, deemed
satisfied or waived. Deposit of such statement with Escrow Holder shall constitute each party's
authorization to close Escrow.
4.15 Termination of Agreement. In the case of termination of this Agreement in
accordance with its terms and cancellation of the Escrow (except for a Buyer's Default under
which Seller would be entitled to retain Buyer's deposit as liquidated damages), all documents
and funds (together with any interest accrued thereon) previously deposited into the Escrow shall
be promptly returned to the depositing party by the person or entity then holding such documents
and funds, and all rights and obligations of the parties existing hereunder shall thereafter
terminate and be of no further force and effect except for the indemnification of Buyer in
Sections 3.1 which shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
4.16 Escrow Cancellation Charges. In the event the event that this Escrow shall fail to
close by reason of the default of either party hereunder, the defaulting party shall be liable for all
Escrow cancellation charges. In the event that the Escrow shall fail to close for any other reason,
each party shall be liable for one-half(11) of all Escrow cancellation charges.
4.17 Delay in Closingaeller to Close. If Escrow Holder cannot close the Escrow on
or before the scheduled Closing Date, it will, nevertheless, close the same when all conditions
have been satisfied or waived, notwithstanding that one or more of such conditions has not been
timely performed,unless after the Scheduled Closing Date and prior to the close of the Escrow,
Escrow Holder receives a written notice to terminate the Escrow and this Agreement from a
party who, at the time such notice is delivered, is not in default hereunder. The exercise of such
right, and the return of moneys and documents, shall not affect the rights of the party not in
default Permitted in this Agreement for the other party's breach of this Agreement. In addition,
the giving of such notice, the failure to object to termination of the Escrow or the return of
moneys and documents shall not affect the right of the other party to pursue other remedies
permitted hereunder for the breach of the party who gives such notice.
