In the event of termination, written notice thereof will be given to the other party or parties specifying the provision pursuant to which such termination is made. On termination pursuant to this paragraph 13, this Agreement will become void and have no effect and there will be no liability hereunder on the part of the Buyer or the Seller or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, stockholders or principals.
14. Default.
