to cooperate in effecting such transfer, including the establishment of any necessary account and providing any necessary
information to Buyer, provided, however, Buyer shall be responsible for additional costs, if any, associated with such transfer.

Should Buyer fail to deliver either the Due Diligence Fee or any Initial Earnest Money Deposit by their due dates, or should any
check or other funds paid by Buyer be dishonored, for any reason, by the institution upon which the payment is drawn, Buyer shall
have one (1) banking day after written notice to deliver cash, official bank check, wire transfer or electronic transfer to the payee. In
the event Buyer does not timely deliver the required funds, Seller shall have the right to terminate this Contract upon written notice
to Buyer, and Seller shall be entitled to recover the Due Diligence Fee together with all Earnest Money Deposit paid or to be paid in
the future. In addition, Seller may be entitled to recover reasonable attorney fees and court costs. See paragraph 23 for a party’s right
to attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting the Earnest Money Deposit or Due Diligence Fee.

(e) “Earnest Money Deposit”: The Initial Earnest Money Deposit, the Additional Earnest Money Deposit and any other earnest
monies paid or required to be paid in connection with this transaction, collectively the “Earnest Money Deposit”, shall be deposited
promptly and held in escrow by Escrow Agent until Closing, at which time it will be credited to Buyer, or until this Contract is
otherwise terminated. In the event: (1) this offer is not accepted; or (2) a condition of any resulting contract is not satisfied, then the
Earnest Money Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. See paragraph 23 for remedies in the event of breach of this Contract.

Buyer and Seller consent to disclosure by the Escrow Agent of any material facts pertaining to the Earnest Money Deposit to the
parties to this transaction, their real estate agent(s) and Buyer’s lender(s).

PL
NOTE: In the event of a dispute between Seller and Buyer over the disposition of the Earnest Money Deposit held in escrow, a
licensed real estate broker (“Broker”) is required by state law (and Escrow Agent, if not a Broker, hereby agrees) to retain the Earnest
Money Deposit 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 ("Attorney") is holding the Earnest Money Deposit, 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.

EARNEST MONEY DEPOSIT IN AN INTEREST BEARING TRUST ACCOUNT AND THAT ANY INTEREST EARNED

INCURRED BY MAINTAINING SUCH ACCOUNT AND RECORDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH.

the terms of each page, and that the complete execution of such initials lines shall not be a condition of the effectiveness of this
SA

Agreement.

(h) “Due Diligence”: Buyer’s opportunity to investigate the Property and the transaction contemplated by this Contract, including
but not necessarily limited to the matters described in Paragraph 4 below, to decide whether Buyer, in Buyer’s sole discretion, will
proceed with or terminate the transaction.

Contract for any reason or no reason during the Due Diligence Period. It shall be the property of Seller upon the Effective Date and
shall be a credit to Buyer at Closing. The Due Diligence Fee shall be non-refundable except in the event of a material breach of this
Contract by Seller, or if this Contract is terminated under Paragraph 23(b) or as otherwise provided in any addendum hereto. Buyer
and Seller each expressly waive any right that they may have to deny the right to conduct Due Diligence or to assert any defense as
to the enforceability of this Contract based on the absence or alleged insufficiency of any Due Diligence Fee, it being the intent of
the parties to create a legally binding contract for the purchase and sale of the Property without regard to the existence or amount of
any Due Diligence Fee. See paragraph 23 for a party’s right to attorneys’ fees incurred in collecting the Due Diligence Fee.

the appropriate county registry of the deed(s) and deed(s) of trust, if any, which shall take place as soon as reasonably possible for
the closing attorney after Settlement. Upon Closing, the proceeds of sale shall be disbursed by the closing attorney in accordance
with the settlement statement and the provisions of Chapter 45A of the North Carolina General Statutes. If the title update should
reveal unexpected liens, encumbrances or other title defects, or if the closing attorney is not authorized to disburse all necessary
funds, then the Closing shall be suspended and the Settlement deemed delayed under Paragraph 12 (Delay in Settlement/Closing).

E
WARNING: The North Carolina State Bar has determined that the performance of most acts and services required for a closing
constitutes the practice of law and must be performed only by an attorney licensed to practice law in North Carolina. State law
prohibits unlicensed individuals or firms from rendering legal services or advice. Although non-attorney settlement agents may
perform limited services in connection with a closing, they may not perform all the acts and services required to complete a closing.
A closing involves significant legal issues that should be handled by an attorney. Accordingly, it is the position of the North
Carolina Bar Association and the North Carolina Association of REALTORS® that all buyers should hire an attorney licensed in
North Carolina to perform a closing.

PL
(n) “Special Assessments”: A charge against the Property by a governmental authority in addition to ad valorem taxes and recurring
governmental service fees levied with such taxes, or by an owners’ association in addition to any regular assessment (dues), either

and 8(k).

performed.

19. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Contract contains the entire agreement of the parties and there are no representations, inducements
or other provisions other than those expressed herein. All changes, additions or deletions hereto must be in writing and signed by all
parties. Nothing contained herein shall alter any agreement between a REALTOR ® or broker and Seller or Buyer as contained in any

Delivery of any notice to a party via means of electronic transmission shall be deemed complete at such time as the sender performs the
final act to send such transmission, in a form capable of being processed by the receiving party’s system, to any electronic address
provided for such party in the “Notice Information” section below. Seller and Buyer agree that the “Notice Information” and
“Acknowledgment of Receipt of Monies” sections below shall not constitute a material part of this Contract, and that the addition or

remedy for such breach, but without limiting Seller’s rights under Paragraphs 4(e) and 4(f) for damage to the Property. It is

E
acknowledged by the parties that the amount of the Liquidated Damages is compensatory and not punitive, such amount being a
reasonable estimation of the actual loss that Seller would incur as a result of a breach of this Contract by Buyer. The payment to
Seller of the Liquidated Damages shall not constitute a penalty or forfeiture but actual compensation for Seller's anticipated loss,
both parties acknowledging the difficulty of determining Seller’s actual damages for such breach.

PL
(b) Breach by Seller: In the event of material breach of this Contract by Seller, Buyer may (i) elect to terminate this Contract as a
result of such breach, and shall be entitled to return of both the Earnest Money Deposit and the Due Diligence Fee, together with the
reasonable costs actually incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer’s Due Diligence (“Due Diligence Costs”), or (ii) elect not to
terminate and instead treat this Contract as remaining in full force and effect and seek the remedy of specific performance.

Diligence Fee, or Due Diligence Costs, the parties agree that a party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees to the
extent permitted under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.2. The parties acknowledge and agree that the terms of this Contract with respect to
entitlement to the Earnest Money Deposit, Due Diligence Fee, or Due Diligence Costs each constitute an "evidence of indebtedness"
M
pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.2.

NOTE: A party seeking recovery of attorneys’ fees under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 6-21.2 must first give written notice to the other party
that they have five (5) days from the mailing of the notice to pay the outstanding amount(s) without the attorneys’ fees.
