pursue any remedies available at law or in equity. Bid prices must be held firm for a period of forty-

according to the terms of this agreement, such party may be declared in default.

Agreement and seek damages; (b) treat the Agreement as continuing and require specific
performance; or (c) avail himself of any other remedy at law or equity. If the non -defaulting

and costs incurred because of the default.
