Section 2.4 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 2.4 Escrow Deposit. Buyer has previously deposited with Chicago Title ("ESCROW AGENT") the sum of One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) (together with all interest thereon, the "ESCROWED AMOUNT"). The Escrowed Amount shall be held by Escrow Agent and paid, disbursed or applied as a credit against the Purchase Price as provided in this Agreement. The Escrowed Amount shall be held or placed by Escrow Agent in an interest bearing account and the term "Escrowed Amount" shall include any interest thereon. If the Closing occurs, the Escrowed Amount will be credited against the Purchase Price. If the Closing does not occur or the Agreement is otherwise terminated (i) by reason of Seller's default, Escrow Agent shall be irrevocably authorized and directed to release the Escrowed Amount to Buyer; or (ii) for any other reason, Escrow Agent shall be irrevocably authorized and directed to release the Escrowed Amount to the Sellers and such amounts shall be retained by Sellers as liquidated damages. This Agreement shall constitute both an agreement among Sellers and Buyer and escrow instructions for Escrow Agent.
