case later than the end of the Examination Period, and Seller shall have thirty (30) days to cure said noticed defects and the
original Examination Period shall continue to run until the defects are remedied. If Seller does not cure the defects or

title insurance, the insuring company must be licensed to do business in the state in which the Property is located. Title to the
Property must be insurable at regular rates, subject only to standard exceptions and Permitted Exceptions. In the event that

Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (42 U.S.C. § 9601). Seller further states that it has no actual knowledge of
any contamination of the Property from such substances as may have been disposed of or stored on neighboring tracts, and it
has no reason to suspect that such use or disposal has occurred, either during or prior to its ownership of the Property. If
Purchaser's environmental studies of the Property reveal that the Property contains any of the hazardous or toxic waste or
substances described above then, no later than ten (10) days before Closing, Seller shall remediate, mitigate, or remove all
such waste or substances as required by applicable law and in accordance with generally -accepted best practices. Purchaser

Earnest Money shall be returned to the Buyer. Except as to maintaining the Property in its same condition, Seller shall have no
responsibility for the repair of the Property, including any improvements, unless the parties hereto agree in writing.

Section 9. Earnest Money Disbursement and Other Remedies in Event of Breach: In the event this offer has not been accepted
by Seller, then the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer at anytime upon Buyer's unilateral request to Escrow Agent. In
the event Buyer terminates this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, then the Earnest Money shall
be refunded immediately to Buyer at Buyer's unilateral request to Escrow Agent. In the event that any condition hereto is not
satisfied, then the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer upon Buyer's request, but such return shall not affect any other
remedies available to Buyer for a breach of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, specific performance of this
Agreement. In the event of breach of this Agreement by Seller, the Earnest Money shall be refunded to Buyer upon Buyer's
request, but such return shall not affect any other remedies available to Buyer for such breach, including, but not limited to,
specific performance of this Agreement. In the event of breach of this Agreement by Buyer, the Earnest Money shall be paid
to Seller as liquidated damages and as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy for such breach and Seller waives all other remedies.
It is acknowledged by the parties that payment of the Earnest Money to Seller in the event of a breach of this Agreement by
Buyer is compensatory and not punitive, such amount being a reasonable estimation of the actual loss that Seller would incur
as a result of such breach. The payment of the Earnest Money to Seller shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture but actual
compensation for Seller's anticipated loss, both parties acknowledging the difficulty determining Seller's actual damages for
such breach. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a party has breached this Agreement, the party in breach
shall reimburse the other party for that party's reasonable attorney's fees and other costs associated with such litigation.
NOTE: Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money to Buyer upon Buyer's unilateral request if Buyer confirms in writing to
Escrow Agent that it terminated this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement prior to the expiration of the
Examination Period. If Buyer does not terminate this Agreement prior to the expiration of the Examination Period, then in the
event of a dispute between Seller and Buyer over the disposition of the Earnest Money held in escrow, a licensed real estate
broker is required by state law (and Escrow Agent, if not a broker, hereby agrees) to retain the Earnest Money in the Escrow
Agent's trust or escrow account until Escrow Agent has obtained a written release from the parties consenting to its
disposition or until disbursement is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction. Alternatively, if a broker or an attorney
licensed to practice law in North Carolina is holding the Earnest Money, the broker or attorney may deposit the disputed
monies with the appropriate clerk of court in accordance with the provisions of N.C.G.S. §93A-12.
Seller and Buyer hereby agree and acknowledge that the Escrow Agent assumes no liability in connection with the holding of
the Earnest Money pursuant hereto except for negligence or willful misconduct of Escrow Agent. Escrow Agent shall not be
responsible for the validity, correctness or genuineness of any document or notice referred to under this Agreement. Seller
and Buyer hereby agree to indemnify, protect, save and hold harmless Escrow Agent and its successors, assigns and agents
pursuant to this Agreement, from any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, claims, actions, suits, costs or expenses
(including attorney fees) of whatsoever kind or nature imposed on, incurred by or asserted against Escrow Agent which in any
way relate to or arise out of the execution and delivery of this Agreement and any action taken hereunder; provided, however,
that Seller and Buyer shall have no such obligation to indemnify, save and hold harmless Escrow Agent for any liability incurred
by, imposed upon or established against it as a result of Escrow Agent's negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 10. Closing: At Closing, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a General Warranty Deed on the current NC Bar Form -a Non -
Warranty Deed on the current NC Bar Form (if applicable) (whichever is specified by Buyer's title insurer), and other
documents customarily executed by a seller in similar transactions, including without limitation, an owner's affidavit, lien
waiver forms and a non -foreign status (pursuant to the Foreign Investment In Real Property Tax Act), and Buyer shall pay to
Seller the Purchase Price. At Closing, the Earnest Money shall be applied as part of the Purchase Price. The Closing shall be
held at the office of Buyer's attorney or such other place as the parties hereto may mutually agree. Unless otherwise agreed
herein, exclusive possession of the Property, free and clear of any tenancies, leases, or other rights of possession, shall be
delivered at Closing and all personal property shall be removed from the Property on or before Closing.
