O~28290
000104
and all payments heretofore of the Purchaser hereunder shall cease. Seller shall have
the right to retain all amounts theretofore paid by Buyer to Seller as rental for said
property and as liquidated damages. The Parties agree that because of the great
fluctuation in market value of property of the type described herein, and because of the
inability of the Parties to fix an accurate and correct measure of damages in the event of
a default hereunder or the termination hereof, that the amount so specified herein to be
liquidated damages is a fair and equitable estimation of the damages resulting from such
breach or termination and all payments heretofore made by the Purchaser shall be
retained by Seller as rental for said property and as liquidated damages for the failure on
the part of the Purchaser to comply with the terms of this agreement. All improvements
and additions appurtenant to said property made by the Purchaser shall remain and
become the property of the Seller. If this agreement or notice thereof shall have been
recorded or filed in the office of the County Clerk and Ex-Officio Register of Deeds then
the filing of an affidavit declaring the default and forfeiture of the Purchaser or the filing
of the Quit Claim Deed held by the Escrow Agent shall be sufficient to cancel all
obligations hereunder on the part of the Seller and fully vest in the Seller, all right, title
and interest in and to the property agreed to be sold, conveyed and delivered and the
Purchaser shall surrender to the Seller forthwith peaceable possession of the property.
b. In lieu of declaring a forfeiture, accelerate and bring an action for the
balance of the purchase price remaining due or for any other relief available in law or in
equity including suit to recover any payment or payments made by the Seller to be
payable by the Þurchaser hereunder, it being stipulated and agreed that such obligation

O~28290
000105
hereunder.

Purchaser to be in default and notifies the Purchaser of this, the Purchaser shall be

the amount owing on the mortgage, any expenses incurred by the Seller as a result of the
default, and interest in the amount of eighteen percent (18%) per annum from the date
of the default on any past due payments. This clause shall not give the purchaser any
other rights for redemption other then the ones herein stated and is not intended to
change the character of this contract.
12. WAIVER. It is further agreed that the failure on the part of the Seller to
enforce the strict performance of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the
prompt payment of the installments herein agreed upon shall not constitute or be
construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Seller's rights under this Agreement to
thereafter enforce any such terms, conditions, or payments, it being expressly agreed that
all the provisions of this Agreement are continuing ones and shall always be in full force
and effect and are not waived by reason of any leniency which may have been granted

may, at its election, declare all sums owing on this contract to be immediately due and
payable, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary. Failure of Seller to

Purchaser notice of the declaration and such notice shall provide a period of not Jess than
thirty (30) days from the date of mailing within which Purchaser may pay the sums
