Seller and the Buyer in an appropriate proceeding. If written authorization is

action or proceeding for leave to deposit the Deposit with a court of competent
jurisdiction.

Agreement, the Escrow Agent shall be released and acquitted from any further
liability under this Agreement, it being expressly understood that the liability
of the Escrow Agent is limited by the terms and conditions set forth above.

rights and remedies available to the Buyer in law and at equity arising out of

claims for subsequent loss of or adjustment to such tax credits after closing
shall be unaffected by the closing. Seller agrees to indemnify Buyer from any
and all claims by Lender or any oversight, regulatory authority or taxing
