representation or express or implied warranty of any nature whatsoever.
Terms of Sale: A deposit in the form of cashier’s or certified check, or in such other form as the Trustees may determine, at their sole discretion, for $25,000.00 at the time of sale. If the noteholder is the successful bidder, the deposit requirement is waived. The balance of the purchase price is to
be paid within fifteen (15) days of the final ratification of the sale by the Circuit Court for Dorchester
County, Maryland. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THE PURCHASER. Interest is to be paid on
the unpaid purchase price at the rate of 5.000% as described in the Secured Promissory Note No. 1, per annum, from the date of sale to the date the funds are received in the office of the Trustees, if the
property is purchased by an entity other than the noteholder. There will be no abatement of interest
due from the purchaser in the event settlement is delayed for any reason. Adjustment of current
year real property taxes and other public and/or private charges or assessments, including but not
limited to condominium assessments, and water/sewer charges, will be made as of the date of sale

charges shall be borne by the purchaser. If the Trustees are unable to convey good and marketable
title, the purchaser’s sole remedy in law or equity shall be limited to the refund of the deposit to the
purchaser. Upon refund of the deposit, the sale shall be void and of no effect, and the purchaser
shall have no further claim against the Trustee. If purchaser defaults under these terms, the deposit
shall be forfeited. The Trustees may then resell the property at the risk and cost of the defaulting
purchaser. The defaulting purchaser shall not be entitled to any surplus proceeds resulting from said
resale even if such surplus results from improvements to the property by said defaulting purchaser.
Purchaser shall be responsible for obtaining physical possession of the property. The purchaser at
the foreclosure sale shall assume the risk of loss or damage to the property from the date of sale.
WAIVERS:

purchaser and/or its successors and assigns may now have or may have in the future relating to
(1) any environmental condition, problem or violation affecting all or any portion of the property, (2)
