Default by Buyer If Buyer breaches or fails to perform any obligation herein or there occurs a breach of any Buyer representation or warranty or other terms of this Agreement by Buyer, Seller shall first give notice and opportunity to cure as provided in §6.01 and if the offense is not cured within the time frame therein, BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT, IN SUCH EVENT, SELLER WILL SUFFER DAMAGES IN AN AMOUNT WHICH WILL, DUE TO THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE SPECIAL NATURE OF THE NEGOTIATIONS WHICH PRECEDED THIS AGREEMENT, BE IMPRACTICAL OR EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO ASCERTAIN. IN ADDITION, BUYER WISHES TO HAVE A LIMITATION PLACED UPON THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF BUYER TO SELLER IN THE EVENT THE CLOSE OF ESCROW FAILS TO OCCUR DUE TO A BUYER DEFAULT, AND WISHES TO INDUCE SELLER TO WAIVE OTHER REMEDIES WHICH SELLER MAY HAVE IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT. BUYER AND SELLER, AFTER DUE NEGOTIATION, XXXXXX ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE AMOUNT OF THE DEPOSIT REPRESENTS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF THE DAMAGES WHICH SELLER WILL SUSTAIN IN THE EVENT OF SUCH BUYER DEFAULT PRIOR TO THE CLOSING. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY AGREE THAT SELLER MAY, IN THE EVENT OF A BUYER DEFAULT BEYOND ANY APPLICABLE NOTICE AND CURE PERIOD, TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT BY WRITTEN NOTICE TO BUYER AND ESCROW HOLDER, CANCEL THE ESCROW AND RECEIVE THE DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES AND ESCROW HOLDER SHALL IMMEDIATELY DELIVER THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER. SUCH RETENTION OF THE DEPOSIT BY SELLER IS INTENDED TO CONSTITUTE LIQUIDATED DAMAGES TO SELLER AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A FORFEITURE OR PENALTY. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, SELLER EXPRESSLY RESERVES ALL RIGHTS TO INDEMNIFICATION WHICH MAY ARISE HEREIN, AND THE RIGHT TO RECOVER SELLER’S ATTORNEYS’ FEES IN ACCORDANCE WITH §7.12. SELLER’S RIGHTS AND BUYER’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS §6.04 SHALL SURVIVE THE CLOSE OF ESCROW AND DELIVERY OF THE DEED. XXXXX AGREES TO EXECUTE ESCROW INSTRUCTIONS TO RELEASE THE DEPOSIT TO SELLER. Seller’s Initials: Buyer’s Initials:
Default by Seller Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Contract, in the event that Seller fails to consummate this Contract or if Seller fails to perform any of Seller's other material obligations hereunder either prior to or at the Closing and such failure or refusal results from any reason other than the termination of this Contract by Purchaser pursuant to a right to terminate expressly set forth in this Contract or Purchaser's failure to perform Purchaser's obligations under this Contract, Purchaser may as its only remedy either (i) terminate this Contract by giving written notice thereof to Seller prior to or at the Closing, in which event Purchaser will be entitled to a return of the Deposit Note, whereupon neither party hereto will have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except (a) that Seller will authorize the Title Company to deliver to Purchaser the Deposit Note and Title Company will deliver the Deposit Note to Purchaser free of any claims by Seller or any other person with respect thereto, (b) that Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for its out of pocket costs associated with the negotiation and preparation of this Agreement and its examination of the Property, including, the fees and disbursements of its counsel, advisers, and agents, and (c) for provisions which survive Closing by their terms or (ii) enforce specific performance of Seller's duties and obligations under this Contract, provided that the right to enforce specific performance shall not require Seller to remove any title encumbrances placed on the Property after the Effective Date or require Seller to perform any covenant beyond the then current ability of Seller. In the event Purchaser fails to file an action for specific performance of this Contract on or before ninety (90) days after the date of such non-performance, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to proceed under clause (i) above and shall be deemed to have waived its right to enforce specific performance of this Contract.
Buyer’s Default Seller’s remedies shall be limited to liquidated damages in the amount of the Xxxxxxx Money set forth in Section IV. It is agreed that such payments and things of value are liquidated damages and are Seller’s sole and only remedy for Buyer’s failure to perform the obligations of this Agreement. The Parties agree that Seller’s actual damages in the event of Buyer’s default would be difficult to measure, and the amount of the liquidated damages herein provided for is a reasonable estimate of such damages.
Seller’s Default Buyer may elect to treat this Agreement as cancelled, in which case all Xxxxxxx Money paid by Buyer hereunder shall be returned and Buyer may recover such damages as may be proper, or Buyer may elect to treat this Agreement as being in full force and effect and Buyer shall have the right to specific performance or damages, or both.
