229 tinue to hold the subject matter of the escrow until the parties hereto agree to its disbursement or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall
230 determine the rights of the parties, or Agent may deposit same with the clerk of the circuit court having jurisdiction of the dispute. An attorney who represents

235 be paid from and out of the escrowed funds or equivalent and charged and awarded as court costs in favor of the prevailing party. The Agent shall not be liable

237 Contract or gross negligence of Agent.
238 R. ATTORNEY'S FEES; COSTS: In any litigation, including breach, enforcement or interpretation, arising out of this Contract, the prevailing party in such liti-
239 gation, which, for purposes of this "AS IS" Standard, shall include Seller, Buyer and any brokers acting in agency or nonagency relationships authorized by
240 Chapter 475, F.S., as amended, shall be entitled to recover from the non - prevailing party reasonable attorney's fees, costs and expenses.

242 Buyer and deposit(s) agreed to be paid, may be recovered and retained by and for the account of Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages, consideration for
243 the execution of this Contract and in full settlement of any claims; whereupon, Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under this Contract; or Seller,
244 at Seller's option, may proceed in equity to enforce Seller's rights under this Contract. If for any reason other than failure of Seller to make Seller's title mar -
245 ketable after diligent effort, Seller fails, neglects or refuses to perform this Contract, Buyer may seek specific performance or elect to receive the return of Buyer's
246 deposit(s) without thereby waiving any action for damages resulting from Seller's breach.
