the Buyer cannot obtain adequate financing within thirty days of the Effective Date of the Agreement,
the Buyer must furnish a written notice to the Seller, upon which, either party may cancel the
Agreement and the earnest money will be refunded to the Buyer within ten days. If a written notice and
cancellation is not furnished to the Seller at the designated time, the Agreement will no longer be

essence and strict compliance within the time frame stipulated is required.

forfeiture of earnest money deposits or otherwise unless written statement issued by the Federal
Housing Commissioner, Department of Veterans Affairs, or a Direct Endorsement Lender setting
forth the appraised value of the Property of not less than $__________. The Buyer shall have the
privilege and option of proceeding with consummation of the contract without regard to the amount
of the appraised valuation. The appraised valuation is arrived at to determine the maximum

reasonable value of the Property established by the Department of Veterans Affairs. The Buyer shall,
however, have the privilege and option of proceeding with the consummation of this contract without
regard to the amount of the reasonable value established by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

If the Buyer elects to proceed with the Agreement at an amount greater than the reasonable value of the
Property as established by the Federal Housing Commissioner, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, or
Direct Endorsement Lender, the Buyer must pay the excess amount in cash and disclose to the Seller
and any lender the source of the cash. If the Property's said reasonable value is less than the Purchase
Price, the Seller may reduce the Purchase Price to the established reasonable value and the Agreement
will be closed with the reduced price.

The Buyer agrees to assume all necessary costs in relation to the obtaining of the loan(s) with the
exception of certain costs associated with FHA/VA loans in which the Buyer is prohibited to pay.
