A successfu l mail bidder will be notif ied of lots purchased . Before Harmers will send such lots to a successful mail bidder , payment in full must be received by Harmers within three (3) business days of receipt of the aforesaid notification by the mail bidder .

In no event shall any surplus arising from the sale of a re-offe red lot be payable to a Non-Complying Bidder . (c) A defaulting purchaser shall be deemed to have granted Harmers a security interest in any property in Harmers possession owned by such purchaser . Harmers shal l have all of the rights afforded a secured party under the New York Uniform Commercial Code with respect to such property and may apply against such obligations all monies held or received by it for the account of, or due from Harmers to such purchaser . (d) If Harmers takes any lega l steps to secu re payment of a delinquent account , the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all legal and other expenses incurred by Harmers to secure such payment, including but not limited to a reasonable allowance for attorneys ' fees . For purposes of this paragr aph, the term legal steps shall be deemed to include any and all cons ultation by Harmers with its attorneys with respect to all matters arising out of a delinquent account.

CONDITIONS OF SALE (continued from inside front cover) EXHIBITION AND INSPECTION OF LOTS ; QUALITY AND AUTHENTICITY 7.

(a) On Premises Inspection and Postal Viewing. Ample opportunity is given for on premises inspection prior to the auction date , and , upon written request and at Harmers discretion, for inspection by postal viewing (all as detailed elsewhere in this Catalogue). (b) Each lot is sold as genu ine and correctly described , based on individual description as modified by any specific . notations in this Catalogue , including but not restricted to the section entitled " Key to Cataloguing ". (c) Quality. Any lot which a purchaser considers to be incorrectly described may be returned to Harmers within two weeks of its receipt by such purchaser (a " Returning Purchaser " ), provided , however , that the same is received by Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction ; however , Harmers may , in its discretion , refuse acceptance of such returned lot. If an opinion of a generally recognized authority is desired , the period of time within which a lot must be received by Harmers will be extended in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. In the event that a dispute cannot be resolved by reference to a generally recognized authority , and Harmers thereupon undertakes to re-offer the lot with a description identical to the description disputed , the Returning Purchaser shall be liable for the deficiency , if any , between the proceeds of the sale to the Returning Purchaser and the proceeds of a sale to a subsequent purchaser , as well as for all costs and expenses of the re-sale , including comm ission , and all incidental damages . Any lot , the description of which is disputed , must be returned intact in the condition received by the purchaser . The following lots are not returnable except at the discretion of Harmers : (i) lots from purchasers who attended the exhibit ion of the lots ; (ii) lots examined by posta l viewers ; (iii) lots on account of their appearance , if they are illustrated in this Catalogue . (d) Authenticity. Any lot which is declared otherwise than genuine by a generally recognized authority is returnable , provided such lot is received by Harmers within four weeks of the date of the auction .

Proof that a generally recognized authority declines to express an opinion is normally grounds for the return of a lot. (e) Expenses incurred in the submission and the return of a lot under Conditions of Sale 7-9 are not refunded .

EXTENSION OF TIME 8. (a) When an opinion from a generally recognized authority is not expected or available within four weeks from the date of the auction, the purchaser shall: (i) within seven days of receipt thereof submit the lot to one of the generally recognized authorities , a list of which will accompany the catalogue from time to time. (ii) notify Harmers , in writing (and preferably on the form supplied), of such submission no later than four weeks from the date of the auction . Such notification shall be deemed given when received by Harmers and shall include the name and address of the authority to whom the lot has been submitted . (b) A prospective purchaser wishing to submit a lot to an authority not listed by Harmers in this Catalogue shall, prior to the date of the auction , request in writing permission for such submission and obtain confirmation of such request from Harmers. The auctioneer reserves the right to refuse a bid where the authority requested is not acceptable on any grounds , which grounds need not be disclosed by Harmers . (c) Payment for lots upon which an extension of time is obtained pursuant to this Condition of Sale 8 may be made in accord with Condition of Sale 4, subject to paragraphs(d) and (e) herein. (d) If a lot is certified by a generally recognized authority to be other than as described: (i) the sale (and the invoice with respect thereto, if outstanding) will be cancelled; and, (ii) to the extent set forth in Condition of Sale 9, payment of the expense of certification will be made to the purchaser. (e) In no event will Harmersaccept any lot more than four months after the auction date.

9. (a) Expenses of certification shall be borne by the purchaser except where a lot is certified other than as described and is returned to Harmers in accordance with Condition of Sale 8. Harmers responsibility (as agents for the vendor) is expressly limited to : (i) the actual cost of the opinion , where such actual cost equals Ten Dollars ($1O) or less; or (ii) such portion of the cost of the opinion as equals the lesser of five percent (5%) of the hammer price of the lot being certified or One Hundred Dollars ($100).

10.

SALES TAX Unless exempted by law , a purchaser shal l pay New York State and loca l sales taxes , or any compensating use taxes of any other State .

APPLICABLE LAW, JURISDICTION , ETC. All matters arising out of this auction sha ll be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the choice of law princ iples thereof.
