following:

Obligations, the Agreement shall be null and void and the parties shall
have no further obligations to each other.
(e) Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that the deposits or other
monies delivered (or to be delivered, in the case of the commitment fee, on
or before the date that is five (5) days after acceptance by the Mortgage
