ARTICLE 10
DEFAULT
In the event the purchase and sale is not consummated because of the inability, failure or refusal, for whatever reason whatsoever, by Seller to convey the Property in accordance with the terms and conditions provided herein, or because of other fault of Seller or reason provided herein for Purchaser’s not consummating this transaction, the Deposit paid in connection with this Agreement shall be returned by the Title Company to Purchaser (less the independent consideration of $100.00 which shall be remitted to Seller), without prejudice to any other legal or equitable right or remedy of Purchaser against Seller including, but not limited to, specific performance. In the event the purchase and sale are not consummated because of the default of Purchaser, then the Title Company shall deliver the Deposit paid hereunder to Seller as its sole and exclusive remedy, and as full, complete, and final liquidated damages. Seller and Purchaser hereby agree that it would be impossible to ascertain the damages accruing to Seller as a result of a default by Purchaser under this Agreement. The payment of said liquidated damages, therefore, shall constitute Seller’s sole and exclusive remedy against Purchaser and shall be in lieu of the exercise by Seller of any other legal or equitable right or remedy which Seller may have against Purchaser as a result of Purchaser’s default.
ARTICLE 11
