  2. OTHER CONTINGENCIES: The parties understand that the property described in Attachment A is the subject of a prior sales contract with another buyer. The Seller’s obligations under this sales contract are conditioned upon the failure of that buyer to consummate the purchase of the property.

 

  3. CLOSING COSTS: Seller will pay all closing costs in connection with the sale of the property as well as the costs incurred by Purchasers in closing the loan from Community Bank.

 

  4. PRORATIONS & HAZARD INSURANCE: The taxes, as determined on the date of closing, are to be prorated between Seller and Purchaser as of the date of delivery of the deed, and any existing advance escrow deposits shall be credited to Seller. Seller will keep in force sufficient hazard insurance on the property to protect all interests until this sale is closed and the deed delivered, but not longer.

 

  5. CLOSING & POSSESSION DATES: The sale shall be closed and the deed delivered on a date agreed upon by the parties. However, Seller shall have the right to terminate this sales contract if closing does not take place on or before December 31, 2005 unless the failure to close is due to Seller’s inability to deliver the deed. Possession is to be given on delivery of the deed. The Purchaser is to be vested in the deed as Carrington.

 

  6. CONVEYANCE: Seller agrees to covey said property to the Purchaser by statutory warranty deed free of all encumbrances, except as set out herein and subject to all rights of redemption arising under Alabama law or federal law by virtue of (a) the Foreclosure Deed recorded on December 6, 2004 as Instrument Number 263844, Book 2004, Page 45928, (b) the Foreclosure Deed recorded on December 30, 2004 as Instrument Number 264713, Book 2004, Page 49515, and (c) the Foreclosure Deed recorded on January 31, 2005 as Instrument Number 265787, Book 2005, Page 3694. Purchaser understands that Dewey Hamaker filed a mechanics lien against the property with the Probate Court of Blount County on January 20, 2004. Hamaker failed to file suit to enforce the lien as required by Alabama Code §35-11-221. Community Bank has obtained written assurance from Chicago Title Insurance through Community Insurance that it will provide title insurance coverage insuring title to the property free of the mechanics lien.

 

  7. CONDITION OF PROPERTY: The Purchaser agrees that he has inspected the property to his satisfaction. The property, having been acquired by Seller through its lending operations, is sold to the Purchaser “WHERE IS, AS IS” and without warranty of any kind or character, save warranty of title.

 

  8. SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS: Seller represents that it has not received notification from any lawful authority regarding any public assessments, pending public improvements, or required repairs, replacements, or alterations to said premises that have not been satisfactorily made. Seller further represents that there is no unpaid indebtedness on the subject property, except as described in this contract.

ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This contract states the entire agreement between the parties and merges into this writing all statements, representations, and covenants heretofore made; and any agreements not incorporated herein are void and of no force and effect. No alteration, amendment, extension, or other change of any sort may be made in this contract except insofar as it is set forth in a writing, signed by the Purchaser and an authorized representative of Seller, that specifically refers to this agreement.
