obtain government approval for the planned development, then
escrow could be extended for an additional 120 days upon CDC’s

payment was nonrefundable and would be applied to the purchase
price.

Escrow fails to occur due to Seller’s default hereunder, or for
any reason other than a default by Buyer, Buyer shall be
entitled, in addition to any legal or equitable remedies, to the
immediate refund of the Deposit[3] and Extension Payment, if
applicable.”
Pursuant to section 6(f)(ii) of the Agreement, petitioners
were required to deposit into escrow, no later than the business
day immediately before the close of escrow, the deed conveying
title to Phase II to CDC in fee simple.
