Once a Commitment is issued, Purchaser is bound under this Contract even if the lender fails or refuses to fund the loan for any reason.

Purchaser shall (i) make prompt application to one or, at Purchaser’s election, more than one Institutional Lender, for such mortgage loan; (ii) furnish accurate and complete information regarding Purchasers, Purchaser’s (and Mercer Tool Corp.) principals, and members of their families, as required, (iii) pay all fees, points and charges required in connection with such application and loan, (iv) pursue such application with diligence(including the securing of such environmental reports required by such Institutional Lender), (v) provide such Institutional Lender with a Guaranty of Mercer Tool Corp. if required by such Institutional Lender a condition of granting a Commitment, and (vi) cooperate in good faith with such Institutional Lender(s) to obtain a Commitment.

Purchaser shall cooperate in good faith with such Mortgage broker to obtain a commitment from such Institutional Lender(s).

If all Institutional Lenders to whom applications were made deny such applications in writing prior to the Commitment Date, Purchaser may cancel this contract by giving Notice thereof to Seller by the earlier of within five (5) business days from the date of such denial(s) or within five (5) business days after the Commitment Date, with a copy of such denials (together witha copy of the application and all supporting documents), provided that Purchaser has complied with all its obligations under this paragraph.

After such cancellation neither party shall have any further rights against, or obligations or liability to, the other by reason of this contract, except that the Downpayment shall be promptly refunded to Purchaser (provided Purchaser has complied with all of its obligations under this Contract) and except as set forth herein, and (ii) those provisions which by the express terms of this Contract survive cancellation, shall survive.

The attorneys for the parties are hereby authorized to give and receive on behalf of their clients all Notices and deliveries under this paragraph.
