liability for the performance or nonperformance of Seller or Purchaser. If this Contract is breached by Purchaser, or if
Purchaser fails for any reason to complete his purchase of Property in accordance with the terms set forth herein, Seller shall
have the right to declare this Contract null and void; and upon such election, Earnest Money shall be divided, with one-half
(1/2) being retained by the Seller as liquidated damages and one-half (1/2) being retained by the Listing and/or Selling Brokers
as commission (said commission amount to be divided between the Listing and Selling Brokers as agreed by separate
agreement), but in no event shall the Listing and/or Selling Broker's share exceed the Broker's commission as specified in the
listing or other agreement between the Broker(s) and the Seller. The right given Seller to make the above election shall not be
Seller's exclusive remedy, as he shall have the right to elect to affirm this Contract and enforce its specific performance or
recover full damages for its breach. Seller's retention of Earnest Money shall not be evidence of an election to declare this
Contract null and void, as Seller shall have the right to retain his portion of Earnest Money to be credited against damages
actually sustained. In addition to any other remedies available against Purchaser by Seller because of Purchaser's default or
failure to close for any reasons other than those permitted by this Contract, Purchaser shall be obligated to pay the commission
provided for in the listing or other agreement between the Broker(s) and the Seller, plus all costs of collection, including
attorney fees, of which the Listing and/or Selling Broker's share of retained Earnest Money is a part. Nothing herein is intended
to negate any agreement which may exist between Listing Broker and any cooperating Broker or buyer's Broker concerning
commission splitting or other payment.
23. BREACH OF CONTRACT BY SELLER: It is understood and agreed that the real estate firm(s) and real estate
licensee(s) representing or assisting the Seller or Purchaser are not parties to this Contract and do not have or assume liability
for the performance or nonperformance of Seller or Purchaser. If this Contract is breached by Seller or if Seller fails for any
reason to complete the sale of Property in accordance with the terms set forth herein, then Seller shall pay the commission
provided for in the listing or other agreement between the Broker(s) and the Seller, plus all costs of collection, including
attorney fees, and the Purchaser shall have the right to (a) affirm this Contract and enforce its specific performance; or (b)
require the immediate return of Earnest Money and recover full damages for its breach.
24. COSTS TO ENFORCE CONTRACT: Should any party to this Contract bring an action against any other party to this
Contract to enforce any claim hereunder, the prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover all costs of said action and
reasonable attorney fees. The term "prevailing party or parties" as used in this paragraph shall be defined as the party or parties
in whose favor a court shall rule or against whom no relief is granted, provided such ruling becomes final and non-appealable.
25. ESCROW: Earnest Money is deposited in escrow with the Listing Broker (or Selling Broker if there is no Listing Broker)
("Escrow Agent") with the understanding that Escrow Agent (a) is not a party to this Contract and does not assume or have any
liability for performance or nonperformance of Seller or Purchaser; (b) has the right to require from Seller and Purchaser a
written release of liability of Escrow Agent which authorizes disbursement of Earnest Money; (c) is not liable for interest or
other charge on Earnest Money; and (d) may choose to place Earnest Money with a court of competent jurisdiction in the event

expenses from, but not limited to, the earnest money deposit. If Seller or Purchaser unreasonably fails to deliver promptly the
document described in (b) above, then such party shall be liable as provided in Paragraph 24. At closing, Earnest Money shall
be applied to any cash down payment required, and then to Purchaser's closing costs, and any excess shall be refunded to
Purchaser. If Purchaser is entitled to a refund of Earnest Money and requests such refund less than fourteen (14) days after
deposit of a check for Earnest Money with Escrow Agent, as a prerequisite to such refund, Purchaser shall furnish to Escrow
Agent written evidence of clearance of such check.
