Compliance with Governmental Regulations and Bonding Requirements

All Buyers must comply with governmental regulations before the applicable governmental agency will approve the transfer of the property or interest to the buyer. Government regulations may apply, for example, to bond posting, filing and adherence to Articles of Organization or Articles of Incorporation or submitting proper signatory authority documents. Failure to comply with all governmental regulations may delay the property transfer. Also, failure to comply with a governmental regulation after notice of the deficiency and a reasonable time to correct such deficiency shall result in forfeiture of the property and forfeiture of the purchase price. Buyers who fail to correct deficiencies must re-assign all property to Sellers free and clear of any encumbrances not existing prior to the conveyance of the property to Buyers.
