x                                 21.1.1. Specific Performance. Seller may elect to treat this Contract as canceled, in which case all Earnest Money (whether or not paid by Buyer) will be paid to Seller and retained by Seller; and Seller may recover such damages as may be proper; or Seller may elect to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect and Seller has the right to specific performance or damages, or both.

 

21.1.2. Liquidated Damages, Applicable. This § 21.1.2 applies unless the box in § 21.1.1. is checked. All Earnest Money (whether or not paid by Buyer) will be paid to Seller, and retained by Seller. Both parties will thereafter be released from all obligations hereunder. It is agreed that the Earnest Money specified in § 4.1 is LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, and not a penalty, which amount the parties agree is fair and reasonable and (except as provided in §§ 10.4, 22, 23 and 24), said payment of Earnest Money is SELLER’S ONLY REMEDY for Buyer’s failure to perform the obligations of this Contract. Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages.

 

21.2. If Seller is in Default: Buyer may elect to treat this Contract as canceled, in which case all Earnest Money received hereunder will be returned and Buyer may recover such damages as may be proper, or Buyer may elect to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect and Buyer has the right to specific performance or damages, or both.

 

22. LEGAL FEES, COST AND EXPENSES. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, in the event of any arbitration or litigation relating to this Contract, prior to or after Closing Date (§ 3), the arbitrator or court must award to the prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney fees, legal fees and expenses.

 

23. MEDIATION.  If a dispute arises relating to this Contract, prior to or after Closing, and is not resolved, the parties must first proceed in good faith to submit the matter to mediation. Mediation is a process in which the parties meet with an impartial person who helps to resolve the dispute informally and confidentially. Mediators cannot impose binding decisions. The parties to the dispute must agree, in writing, before any settlement is binding. The parties will jointly appoint an acceptable mediator and will share equally in the cost of such mediation. The mediation, unless otherwise agreed, will terminate in the event the entire dispute is not resolved within thirty days of the date written notice requesting mediation is delivered by one party to the other at the party’s last known address. This section will not alter any date in this Contract, unless otherwise agreed.

 

24. EARNEST MONEY DISPUTE.  Except as otherwise provided herein, Earnest Money Holder must release the Earnest Money following receipt of written mutual instructions, signed by both Buyer and Seller. In the event of any controversy regarding the Earnest Money, Earnest Money Holder is not required to release the Earnest Money. Earnest Money Holder, in its sole subjective discretion, has several options: (1) wait for any proceeding between Buyer and Seller; (2) interplead all parties and deposit Earnest Money into a court of competent jurisdiction, (Earnest Money Holder is entitled to recover court costs and reasonable attorney and legal fees incurred with such action); or (3) provide notice to Buyer and Seller that unless Earnest Money Holder receives a copy of the Summons and Complaint or Claim (between Buyer and Seller) containing the case number of the lawsuit (Lawsuit) within one hundred twenty days of Earnest Money Holder’s notice to the parties, Earnest Money Holder is authorized to return

the Earnest Money to Buyer. In the event Earnest Money Holder does receive a copy of the Lawsuit, and has not interpled the monies at the time of any Order, Earnest Money Holder must disburse the Earnest Money pursuant to the Order of the Court.

25.1. Right to Terminate. If a party has a right to terminate, as provided in this Contract (Right to Terminate), the termination is effective upon the other party’s receipt of a written notice to terminate (Notice to Terminate), provided such written notice was received on or before the applicable deadline specified in this Contract. If the Notice to Terminate is not received on or before the specified deadline, the party with the Right to Terminate accepts the specified matter, document or condition as satisfactory and waives the Right to Terminate under such provision.

 

25.2. Effect of Termination. In the event this Contract is terminated, all Earnest Money received hereunder will be returned and the parties are relieved of all obligations hereunder, subject to §§ 10.4, 22, 23 and 24.

 

26. ENTIRE AGREEMENT, MODIFICATION, SURVIVAL. This Contract, its exhibits and specified addenda, constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject hereof, and any prior agreements pertaining thereto, whether oral or written, have been merged and integrated into this Contract. No subsequent modification of any of the terms of this Contract is valid, binding upon the parties, or enforceable unless made in writing and signed by the parties. Any right or obligation in this Contract that, by its terms, exists or is intended to be performed after termination or Closing survives the same.

27.2. Electronic Delivery.  As an alternative to physical delivery, any document, including a signed document or written notice, may be delivered in electronic form only by the following indicated methods: x Facsimile x Email  x  Internet.
