2.1.  Purchaser shall make a Sixty Thousand Dollar ($60,000.00) initial earnest money deposit (“Initial Earnest Money Deposit”) paid to Chicago Title Insurance Company (“Title Company”), as escrowee, upon execution of this Contract. The Initial Earnest Money Deposit shall be non-refundable; however, it shall be credited towards the Purchase Price at Closing or forfeited to the Seller as provided Section 4.A herein.

2.2.  Within five (5) business days of voter approval of the Bond Referendum as set forth in 4.B.1 herein, Purchaser shall deposit an additional Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (“Additional Earnest Money Deposit #1”). The Additional Earnest Money Deposit #1 shall be non-refundable and shall be credited towards the Purchase Price at Closing or forfeited to the Seller as provided Section 4.A herein.

2.3.  In the event Purchaser’s successful financing of the bond(s) as set forth in 4.B.2 herein is not completed by May 31, 2020, and Purchaser opts to continue with the purchase, Purchaser shall pay directly to Seller a fee of Thirty Thousand Dollars ($30,000.00) (“Contract Extension Fee #1”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Purchaser, is unable or unwilling to complete the Lot 102 purchase, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract and amounts of Earnest Money on deposit with the Title Company shall be tendered to the Seller

If Purchaser fails to give any Notice to Seller by such date, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived this right to object to any exceptions or defects. If Purchaser does give Seller Notice of objection to any title exceptions or defects, Seller shall have the right for a period of thirty (30) working days after such Notice to cure or satisfy all Seller Defects. If Seller fails or elects not to cure any unpermitted title exceptions or defects, then Purchaser may elect to close the transaction and take title subject to such exception or to terminate this Contract. Purchaser shall have the right at any time to waive any objections that it may have made and thereby to preserve this Contract in effect.

If such updated title examination reveals an existence of any exceptions or defects in the title for the Subject Property which arose after the effective date of the Title Commitment, and which are caused by the acts or omissions of the Seller, Purchaser shall be entitled to give Notice of objection to such additional defects and exceptions with the same rights and obligations as would apply to a Notice of title objection given pursuant to Paragraph 7.1.
