All parties acknowledge that the obligations under this provision shall survive Closing.
 
The Purchase Price to be paid by Buyer for the Property, and Seller’s right to retain any of the earnest money other than the independent consideration (so long as Buyer is not in default), is conditioned upon Seller’s delivery of the Property and fulfillment of all other conditions and obligations in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
