PARTIES BOUND: These Conditions of Sale and Purchaser's Agreement made hereunder shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns. 17. CONSTRUCTION: All references to the highest bidder, Purchaser or Purchaser contained herein shall be deemed to refer to all Purchasers, jointly and severally, whether referred to in the singular or plural, or masculine or female, form. 18.

EFFECT OF WAIVER OR CONSENT: A consent or waiver by Seller, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by Purchaser in the performance of these Conditions of Sale is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default. Failure on the part of Seller to complain of any act of Purchaser or to declare Purchaser in default of these Conditions of Sale, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by Seller of Seller's rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of limitations period has run. 22. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of these Conditions of Sale or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of these Conditions that provision to other persons, entities or circumstances are not affected thereby.

If Purchaser elects to terminate this Agreement as provided above, Seller will return to Purchaser all payments made to Seller on account of the Purchase Price and reimburse Purchaser for all costs for searching title, appraisals, inspections, and preparation of the deed, mortgage, and other settlement papers. This Agreement and all obligations hereunder will terminate upon Seller's return and payment of the above amounts. 6.

Possession of the Premises shall be given to Purchaser at settlement. Formal tender of deed and purchase money are waived.

Any proceeding for condemnation or by eminent domain instituted against the Premises after the date hereof shall in no way affect Purchaser's obligation to purchase the Premises; provided that Purchaser shall receive credit for any proceeds, consideration, damages, or sums paid by any condemning authority as a result of such action if the same is paid prior to settlement. In the event that any such proceeds, consideration, damages, or sums are paid after the Settlement Date, Purchaser shall be entitled to receive the same. Seller shall be under no obligation to defend against or appear in any such action, provided that Seller provides Purchaser with notice of the institution of such action no later than 15 days after Sellers' receipt of notice thereof, and, in such event, Seller shall cooperate in Purchaser's defense of or appearance in such action, at Purchaser's expense. 10.

Purchaser's Agreement shall not be conditioned upon any such repair, improvement, inspection, or testing, or upon any specific results obtained from such inspection or testing. 11. ZONING: The parties acknowledge that no representation whatsoever is made concerning zoning of the Premises, or the uses of the Premises that may be permitted under local ordinances, and that Purchaser has satisfied himself that the zoning of the Premises is satisfactory for his contemplated use thereof. Purchaser hereby waives any applicable requirement for Seller to provide a certification of zoning classification prior to settlement pursuant to Disclosure Act of July 27, 1955, P.L. 288, 83, as amended and reenacted (21 P.S. $613).

USE AND OCCUPANCY. Purchaser is responsible to obtain and pay for the costs of any desired or required use and occupancy permit and any inspections or certifications required by a governing authority to occupy or settle on the Premises. 14. PURCHASERS' DEFAULT: In case of noncompliance by Purchaser with any term of these Conditions, Seller has the option, in addition to all other remedies provided by law or at equity, to exercise any one or more of the following remedies: (a) To retain Purchaser's down money as liquidated damages, regardless of whether or not, or on what terms, the Premises is retained or resold; or (b) To resell the Premises, at public or private sale, with or without notice to Purchaser, and hold Purchaser liable for the actual loss resulting from such resale, including attorneys' fees and costs incurred by Seller as a result of Purchaser's default. Seller may retain the down money paid hereunder as security for payment of such loss. 15. SUMMARY OF CONDITIONS: Purchaser acknowledged that these Conditions of Sale were available for inspection by Purchaser prior to the commencement of bidding and sale of the Premises, that Purchaser had an opportunity to review the full Conditions of Sale, and that Purchaser understands the contents thereof and all terms and conditions under which the Premises is being sold, agreeing to be bound by the full terms and conditions as set forth therein. Purchaser acknowledges that only a summary of the Conditions of Sale was read prior to commencement of bidding on the Premises, and that Purchaser is not relying upon the public reading of the Conditions of Sale as a complete statement of the terms and conditions for sale of the Premises. 16. PARTIES BOUND: These Conditions of Sale and Purchaser's Agreement made hereunder shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors, personal representatives and assigns. 17.

AMENDMENT: No modification of these Conditions of Sale shall be valid unless made in ated with the same degree of formality as these Conditions of Sale and Purchaser's Agreement attached hereto. 21. EFFECT OF WAIVER OR CONSENT: A consent or waiver by Seller, express or implied, to or of any breach or default by Purchaser in the performance of these Conditions of Sale is not a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default. Failure on the part of Seller to complain of any act of Purchaser or to declare Purchaser in default of these Conditions of Sale, irrespective of how long that failure continues, does not constitute a waiver by Seller of Seller's rights with respect to that default until the applicable statute-of limitations period has run. 22. SEVERABILITY: If any provision of these Conditions of Sale or the application thereof to any person, entity or circumstance is held invalid or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of these Conditions that provision to other persons, entities or circumstances are not affected thereby.
