Subject to the full, complete and timely performance by

escrow with the Closing Agent, with a simultaneous copy to
Seller, the following documents on or before the Closing Date:

which damages will be substantial but are extremely difficult
to ascertain.
B. In the event Seller defaults upon its
obligations hereunder and shall fail to consummate the sale of
the Property for any reason except the default of Buyer, and
such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after
written notice, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and receive
return of its Xxxxxxx Money, or enforce specific performance
of this Agreement within six (6) months from the time such

Seller, which damages shall include, but not be limited to,
all losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including
reasonable attorney's fees) incurred by Buyer.

such proceedings given, Seller shall promptly give Buyer
written notice of such damage or condemnation notice. Upon
delivery of such notice of damage or condemnation (from Seller
