right to hold the purchaser liable for the bid price),
Swann, at its option, may either (a) cancel the sale,
retaining as liquidated damages all payments made
by the purchaser, or (b) resell the property, either
publicly or privately, for the account and risk of the
purchaser, and in such event the purchaser shall
be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all
costs, including warehousing, the expenses of both
sales, and Swann's commission at its regular rates and
all other charges due hereunder. Swann may also
impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the high-
est rate allowed under applicable law, whichever is
lower) on any amounts unpaid.
