2. TITLE: The extent of Seller's obligation with respect to title shall be to provide insurable title to Purchaser. Title <br />to the Property may run from the owner of record, or from Seller by act of power of attorney on behalf of the <br />recorded owner. Conveyance will be by deed that covenants that grantor grants only that title which grantor <br />may have and that grantor will only defend title against persons claiming by, through or under grantor. Such <br />deed may be known as a SPECIAL WARRANTY, LIMITED WARRANTY, QUIT CLAIM OR BARGAIN AND <br />SALE DEED, or other local form of Deed acceptable to the recording agent and Seller. The agent responsible <br />for settling the transaction, disbursing funds and closing escrow ("Closing Agent") is responsible for providing or <br />obtaining the legal description of the property. The legal description shall be the same legal description as <br />contained in the foreclosure deed or the deed -in -lieu of foreclosure, as applicable, or any revision thereto. <br />3. UNWRITTEN STATEMENTS: Unwritten or oral statements, representations, promises, negotiations, or <br />agreements shall not be considered to be part of the Contract of Sale unless incorporated in writing into the <br />Contract of Sale. <br />4. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE: CLOSING. IT IS AGREED THAT TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE WITH RESPECT <br />TO ALL DATES SPECIFIED IN THE CONTRACT OF SALE, THIS ADDENDUM AND ANY ADDENDA OR <br />AMENDMENTS THERETO. Settlement/closing shall be held in the offices of a Closing Agent selected by <br />Purchaser, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 17 herein, unless otherwise required by applicable <br />law. Closing shall occur on or before January 18 , 20 21 , or within seven (7) calendar days of Purchaser's <br />loan approval, whichever is earlier, unless the closing date is extended in writing signed by the Seller and <br />Purchaser. Purchaser shall deliver the earnest money deposit in certified funds to the real estate broker listing <br />the property for sale pursuant to a separate agreement with Seller ("Broker"). The earnest money deposit shall <br />be held by the Closing Agent in escrow or Broker in a noninterest bearing account. At closing, Purchaser must <br />pay any amounts due by cashier's checks drawn on a United States regulated financial institution authorized to <br />engage in banking activities within the United States made payable to the Closing Agent or by wire transfer <br />from a United States regulated financial institution authorized to engage in banking activities within the United <br />States consistent with Paragraph 14. The sale may not be closed in escrow without the prior written consent <br />of Seller. In the event closing does not occur by the closing date specified in this Section 4, or any written <br />extension, this Agreement is automatically terminated. Upon such termination Seller, without further <br />communication with Purchaser and in Seller's sole discretion, will have the right to instruct the Closing Agent to <br />cancel the settlement and the Seller shall be entitled to the remedy described in paragraph 19 of this <br />Addendum. In the event Seller agrees to Purchaser's request for a written extension of this Agreement, <br />Purchaser agrees to pay to Seller a per diem of $ 100.00 per calendar day through and including the new <br />closing date specified in the written extension. Purchaser agrees that it will not provide any instructions to the <br />Closing Agent that are inconsistent with this Addendum and, in that event Purchaser does so, such instructions <br />are null and void ab initio. <br />5. PRORATIONS: Seller and Purchaser agree to prorate the following expenses as of closing: utility charges, <br />water and sewer charges, fuel/heating oil (if applicable) real estate taxes and assessments, common area <br />charges, co-operative fees, maintenance fees, and rents, if any. Rental payments will be prorated outside and <br />after closing, and will not be reflected on the settlement statement. Prorated rental payments are to be <br />returned to the tenant from whom they were received, once requested, and not returned to Purchaser. <br />Payment of homeowner's association or special assessments shall be paid current and prorated between <br />Purchaser and Seller as of the closing date with payments not yet due and owing to be assumed by Purchaser <br />without credit toward purchase price. HOWEVER, Seller shall not be responsible for homeowner's association <br />assessments that accrued prior to the date Seller acquired the Property. In determining prorations, the day of <br />closing shall be charged to Purchaser. All prorations at closing, including prorations for taxes, are final. If the <br />property is a single-family property with no more than one dwelling unit, then rents (if any) shall not be prorated. <br />Seller's Initials HomeSteps Addendum #1 to Contract of Sale <br />Version May 2018 <br />Buyer's Initials Page 2 of 10 <br />
