4.5.5     Purchaser shall pay all fees and expenses (including, without limitation, all servicing fees and charges, transfer fees, assumption fees, title fees, endorsement fees, and other fees to release Seller of all liability under the Loan) imposed or charged by the Lender or its counsel (such fees and expenses collectively being referred to as the “ Lender Fees ”), in connection with the Loan Assumption Application and the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.5.6     Additionally, Purchaser shall be responsible for (a) replacing (and increasing to the extent required by Lender) all reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be maintained in connection with the Loan, and (b) funding any additional reserves, impounds or accounts required by Lender to be maintained by Purchaser in connection with the Loan after the Loan Assumption and Release (the foregoing amounts in (a) and (b) collectively referred to herein as the “ Required Loan Fund Amounts ”).  Any existing reserves, impounds and other accounts required to be replaced by Purchaser pursuant to the foregoing sentence shall be released in Good Funds to Seller at the Closing. 

4.5.7     Purchaser agrees promptly to deliver to the Lender all documents and information required by the Assumed Loan Documents, and such other information or documentation as the Lender reasonably may request, including, without limitation, financial statements, income tax returns and other financial information for Purchaser and any required guarantor.  Seller agrees that it will cooperate with Purchaser and Lender, at no cost or expense to Seller, in connection with Purchaser’s application to Lender for approval of the Loan Assumption and Release.

4.5.9     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section  4.5 , Purchaser shall have until the date that is 45 days after the Effective Date (such date being hereinafter referred to as the “ Loan Approval Deadline ” and the period from the Effective Date of this Agreement until and including the Loan Approval Deadline being hereinafter referred to as the “ Loan Approval Period ”) to obtain Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption and Release, each upon terms and conditions substantially similar to those currently in the Assumed Loan Documents and/or otherwise reasonably acceptable to Purchaser, in Purchaser’s sole discretion; provided, however, that Purchaser shall use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption and Release as soon as possible.   Provided Purchaser is not in default under the terms of this Contract and Purchaser has not yet obtained Lender’s approval of the Loan Assumption and Release as provided above, Purchaser shall be permitted to extend the Loan Approval Deadline two times for up to an additional 15 days each time by delivering no later than the then scheduled Loan Approval Deadline (i) to Escrow Agent, an additional deposit in the amount of $25,000.00 (with respect to each such extension), which such amount or amounts, as the case may be, shall constitute part of the “Deposit” for all purposes of this Contract; and (ii) to Seller, written notice of such election.  Provided that Purchaser acts in good faith and uses commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the Loan Assumption and Release, on or prior to the expiration of the Loan Approval Deadline, Purchaser may, by delivery of written notice to Seller and Escrow Agent that Purchaser has not obtained the consent of the Lender to the Loan Assumption and Release, terminate this Contract in which event this Contract shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to the Survival Provisions and Escrow Agent shall forthwith return the Deposit to Purchaser.  If Purchaser fails to deliver on or before the Loan Approval Deadline such notice, Purchaser’s right to terminate under this Section 4.5.9 shall be permanently waived, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect and the Deposit shall be non-refundable except as otherwise expressly provided in this Contract. 

Anything contained in this Section 4.5 to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event that Purchaser fails to deliver to Seller on or before 15 days after the Effective Date evidence reasonably satisfactory to Seller that Purchaser has (i) submitted the completed Loan Assumption Application to Lender, and (ii) ordered the Phase I environmental study described in Section  4.5.8 , Seller may at any time prior to Purchaser’s delivery of such evidence, by written notice delivered to Purchaser and Escrow Agent, terminate this Contract, in which event this Contract shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and effect, subject to the Survival Provisions and Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Purchaser.

4.6               Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions .  If at any time after the expiration of the Feasibility Period, any update to the Title Commitment discloses any additional item that materially adversely affects title to the Property which was not disclosed on (i) any version of or update to the Title Commitment delivered to Purchaser during the Feasibility Period or (ii) provided that Purchaser obtained an updated survey prior to the expiration of the Feasibility Period, such updated survey (the “ New Exception ”), Purchaser shall have a period of 5 business days from the date of its receipt of such update (the “ New Exception Review Period ”) to review and notify Seller in writing of Purchaser’s approval or disapproval of the New Exception.  If Purchaser disapproves of the New Exception, Seller may, in Seller’s sole discretion, notify Purchaser as to whether it is willing to cure the New Exception.  If Seller elects to cure the New Exception, Seller shall be entitled to reasonable adjournments of the Closing Date to cure the New Exception.  If Seller fails to deliver a notice to Purchaser within 3 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Seller shall be deemed to have elected not to cure the New Exception.  If Purchaser is dissatisfied with Seller’s response, or lack thereof, Purchaser may, as its exclusive remedy elect either:  (i) to terminate this Contract, in which event the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser or (ii) to waive the New Exception and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception.  If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Contract in accordance with the foregoing sentence within 6 days after the expiration of the New Exception Review Period, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to approve and irrevocably waive any objections to the New Exception.

4.7               Purchaser Financing .  Purchaser assumes full responsibility to obtain the funds required for settlement, and Purchaser’s acquisition of such funds (other than the Assumed Loan, if assumed) shall not be a contingency to the Closing.  Purchaser may elect, by written notice delivered to Seller on or before the Business Day immediately following the expiration of the Feasibility Period, to require Seller to prepay the Loan at Closing, in which event Purchaser shall be responsible for the payment at Closing of any prepayment penalties or other costs (other than the repayment of principal and accrued, but unpaid interest) required in connection with such prepayment.
