The deposit shall be in the form of cash, certified or cashier’s check at the time and place of sale, or other form of security, at the sole discretion of the Assignees. The balance of the purchase price is to be secured to the satisfaction of the Assignees and rep-

resented by a Promissory Note, conditioned upon the conveyance of good and marketable title. The balance in cash will be due at settlement which shall be within ten (10) days after final ratification of sale by the Circuit Court of Worcester County unless said period is extended by the Assignees, their successors or assigns for good cause shown, time being of the essence.

If Purchaser fails to pay the balance of the purchase price following ratification of the sale, the deposit shall be forfeited and the property resold at the risk and cost of the defaulting purchaser. If the Assignees are unable to convey marketable or insurable title to the property, or if ratification of sale is denied by the Circuit Court for any reason, the purchaser’s sole remedy at law or in equity shall be limited to the refund of the deposit without interest. Upon refund of the deposit, this sale shall be void and of no effect, and the purchaser shall have no further claims against the Assignees.

The improvements are being sold in an “AS IS” condition, with no warranties expressed or implied, with Purchaser responsible for any and all housing or zoning code violations.
