Terms of Sale

The Property will be sold “WHERE IS” and in “AS IS” condition and the purchaser shall assume

the risk of loss or damage to the property after the time of the foreclosure sale. Neither the Trustees,

the party secured by the Deed of Trust, the auctioneer, nor any of their respective agents,

successors or assigns (collectively, the “Selling Parties”) make any representation or warranties,

express or implied, with respect to the Property, or any tenancies or parties in possession, including

without limitation, the description, use, structural integrity, physical condition, construction, extent

of construction, workmanship, materials, habitability, marketability, or insurability (hazard or

title), subdivision, zoning, environmental condition, compliance with building codes or other laws

(such as Americans with Disabilities Act), ordinances or regulations, fitness for a particular

purpose, or merchantability of all or any part of the Property. The purchaser waives and releases

the Selling Parties from any and all claims the purchaser or the purchaser’s successors or assigns

may have now or may have in the future relating to the sale or the condition of the Property. The

Property will be sold subject to rights of parties in possession, any building or housing violations,

easements, agreements, restrictions, terms, rights of way, covenants, conditions, rights of

redemption, other encumbrances, statutes, if any, affecting the Property, whether or not of record

and all statutes, ordinances or court rules, including any lien for unpaid condominium assessments

pursuant to D.C. Code § 42-1903.13, if applicable, to the extent such things have priority over the

Deed of Trust and to the extent such things survive the foreclosure sale. The Property is also sold

subject to a post-sale audit of the status of the loan. All interested bidders are specifically

encouraged to review all federal, state and local statutes, ordinances, and court rules concerning

the Property and to contact the appropriate governmental authorities prior to the sale date regarding

the Property, including without limitation, encumbrances, liens, violations, permitted uses and the

requirements, if any, for registration, obtaining possession, cure of violations, construction,

completion, or development. The Trustee will not deliver possession to the purchaser, who shall

be solely responsible for obtaining possession of the property.

A deposit of the lesser of $100,000.00 or ten percent (10%) of the winning bid amount will be

required at the time of sale, such deposit to be in the form of a certified check, cashier’s check, or

in such other form as the Trustees may determine, in their sole discretion. Whenever the purchaser

is also the party secured by the said Deed of Trust, payment of the required deposit and purchase

price is made by crediting the amount thereof to the indebtedness. The balance in cash or

immediately available funds, with interest at the annual rate of 12.99% from the date of sale to the

date the balance of the proceeds are received by the Trustee shall be paid within thirty (30) days

after the date of sale. There will be no abatement of interest due from the purchaser in the event

additional funds are tendered before settlement or if settlement is delayed for any reason. The

party secured by the Deed of Trust shall not be obligated to pay interest if it is the purchaser. TIME

IS OF THE ESSENCE FOR THE PURCHASER.

Real property taxes, water charges, condominium fees and/or homeowner association dues, all

public charges/assessments payable on an annual basis, including sanitary and/or metropolitan

district charges, if applicable, to be adjusted for the current year to date of sale and assumed

thereafter by the purchaser. All costs incident to the settlement and conveyancing including,

without limitation, examination of title, conveyancing, all recordation taxes and charges, all

transfer taxes and charges, title insurance premiums, notary fees, settlement fees and all other costs

incident to settlement shall be at the cost of the successful purchaser. Conveyance of the Property

shall be by Trustee’s Deed, without covenant or warranty, express or implied, specifically

including marketability or insurability (hazard or title), unless otherwise required by statute, court

rule or the Deed of Trust. In the event the Trustee is unable for any reason to convey title, the

purchaser’s sole remedy at law or in equity shall be to request and receive a return of the deposit.

Upon return of the deposit, this sale shall be void and of no effect and the purchaser shall have no

further claim against the Trustee.

Compliance with terms of sale shall be made within thirty (30) days after the date of sale or the

deposit shall be forfeited. In the event of a default, all expenses of this sale (including attorneys’

fees and trustee’s commission) shall be charged against and paid out of the forfeited deposit and

any remaining balance of the forfeited deposit shall be applied against the outstanding balance of

the debt secured by the Deed of Trust, as determined by the Trustee, unless expressly prohibited

by statute, court rule or the Deed of Trust. The Trustee may then re-advertise and resell the

Property at the risk and cost of the defaulting purchaser (such risk and cost shall include any

attorneys’ fees or costs in connection with all litigation, including appeals, involving the Property

or the proceeds of a resale; or contesting the Selling Parties’ right to conduct a resale; or seeking

to invalidate this sale unless expressly prohibited by statute, court rule or the Deed of Trust; and,

if the defaulting purchaser has received any ‘rent’ from any occupant or tenant of the Property

such amount received shall be promptly delivered to the Trustee; or, without reselling the Property,

the Trustee may avail himself of any legal or equitable remedies against the defaulting purchaser).

In the event of a resale, the defaulting purchaser shall not be entitled to receive the surplus, if any,

even if such surplus results from improvements to the Property by said defaulting purchaser. This

advertisement, as amended or supplemented by any oral announcements during the conduct of the

sale, constitutes the entire terms upon which the property shall be offered for sale.
