Any Lender Affiliated Party may apply the outstanding amount of the debt under the Note as a credit to its bid.

Prior to the sale, the Substitute Trustees will make available for prospective bidders upon request a copy of the contract of sale.

The Property will be sold subject to the rights of any person(s) in possession of any or all of the Property as tenants under any recorded or unrecorded leases, if any.

Such agreement also shall provide that if, notwithstanding such agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction should permit such a claim to be made against any Releasees, such agreement shall serve as the overwhelming primary factor in any equitable apportionment of response costs or other liability. Nothing in this paragraph shall release, waive or preclude any claims the purchaser may have against any other person with respect to the Property.
Purchaser assumes the risk of loss or damage to the Property from the strike down of the bid forward. Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining physical possession of the Property.
Purchaser shall settle on or before forty-five (45) days after the sale.
TIME SHALL BE OF THE ESSENCE. The balance of the purchase price of the Property over and
above the bidding deposit will be due at settlement by cashiers or certified check or by immediately available wire funds. Purchaser shall be responsible for payment of all settlement costs including, but not limited to, deed preparation and all recordation taxes and charges, settlement fees, title insurance premiums, and all other costs incident to settlement.
All rents, without pro-ration for the current month, collected to the day prior to closing shall remain the property of the Noteholder or, if applicable, any appointed receiver managing the Property. All rents, without proration for the current month, and any delinquent rents, collected on and after the day of closing shall be the property of the purchaser.

Utilities associated with the Property shall be adjusted at closing, with the meters read the day prior to closing. All other costs associated with the Property, current and past due, if any, shall be the responsibility of the purchaser with no proration.
If the successful bidder fails to complete settlement, the deposit shall be forfeited and applied to the costs of the sale, including trustees’ fees, and the balance, if any, shall be delivered to the Noteholder to be applied against all amounts owed it under the note and Deed of Trust. There shall be no refunds. The Property shall be resold at the risk and the cost of the defaulting bidder. Such forfeiture shall not limit any rights or remedies of the Substitute Trustees or the Noteholder with respect to any such default, and the defaulting purchaser shall be liable for all costs of re-sale of the Property (including attorneys’ fees of the Noteholder and the Substitute Trustees), plus any amount by which the ultimate sale price for the Property is less than the defaulting purchaser’s bid. After any such default and forfeiture, the Property may, at the discretion of the Substitute Trustees, be conveyed to the next highest bidder of the Property whose bid was acceptable to the Substitute Trustees. The defaulting purchaser shall not be entitled to any surplus proceeds or profits resulting from any resale of the Property.
If the Substitute Trustees are unable to convey title as required herein, purchaser’s sole remedy at law and in equity shall be limited to a refund of the deposit and the sale shall be considered null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
The Substitute Trustees reserve the right, in their sole discretion, to reject any and all bids, to withdraw all or part of the Property from sale at any time before or at the auction, to modify the requirement for bidders’ deposits, to extend the time to receive bids, to waive or modify the deposit
requirement, to amend or supplement the terms of the sale by verbal announcement made by the Substitute Trustees at the sale, to recess the sale, to conduct other sales as the Substitute Trustees may determine in their discretion, and/or to extend the period of time for settlement.
Immediately upon conveyance and assignment by the Substitute Trustees of the Property to the purchaser or purchasers at foreclosure, all duties, liabilities and obligations of the Substitute Trustees, if any, with respect to the Property shall be extinguished.
