give Lender written notice of the damage or destruction, together with such
reasonable details of which Borrower may have knowledge, including, without
limitation, an estimate of the reasonable and necessary cost of restoration of
the Property as nearly as practicable to its condition immediately before that
damage or destruction.  After Borrower's notice is given, Lender may at its
option terminate this Agreement without further obligation under this Agreement,

Agreement shall close the transaction as contemplated in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and Borrower shall 
assign to Lender or Lender's designee all insurance proceeds, including rental

sale with a real estate broker or agent, and Borrower and Lender agree that upon
the filing of the Deed for record, no commission or other payment shall be due
or payable to any entity or person.

      10.   Failure of Title.  If for any reason whatsoever, the Title Company
cannot furnish Lender with the Confirmatory Report, this Agreement shall
terminate, and Borrower and Lender shall be released of all liabilities and
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that (a) the Lender may waive any
title exception or defect which is not among Title Exceptions, and (b) Borrower
shall have thirty (30) days after being advised by the Title Company of such a
title exception or defect not so waived in which to cure the same.

terms and conditions, the Lender shall be fully restored to all rights and
remedies which it has at law or in equity, or pursuant to the Judgment Lien, and
