Any party may change its address for the service of notice by giving notice of such change three (3) days prior to the effective date of such change.
SECTION 12 — REMEDIES
     If Seller fails without legal excuse to complete the sale of the Property, Buyer may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement, receive a refund of the Earnest Money, together with the sum of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000.00) as liquidated damages from Seller. In no event shall Buyer have any claim for specific performance hereunder. Buyer’s remedies are cumulative and the exercise of one remedy by Buyer will not preclude the exercise of any other remedies.
     If Buyer fails without legal excuse to complete the purchase of the Property, Seller may, as its sole and exclusive remedy, terminate this Agreement by written notice delivered to Buyer in which case the Earnest Money shall be forfeited to Seller as liquidated damages. In no event shall Seller have any claim for specific performance hereunder. In any suit, action or appeal therefrom, to enforce this Agreement or any term or provisions hereof, or to interpret this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its costs incurred therein, including reasonable attorneys’ fees.

SECTION 13 — TAX DEFERRED EXCHANGE
     Buyer may, at its option, elect to purchase the Property as part of a tax deferred exchange under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code and may (notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10 above), assign this Agreement to one or more third party exchange intermediaries for the purpose of effecting the exchange. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in effecting such exchange provided that Seller shall not be required to incur any cost or liability as a result of such cooperation. The failure of the exchange to qualify as an exchange under Section 1031 shall not constitute grounds for rescission by either party and shall not be deemed to be a failure of consideration.
