The Substitute Trustee will not deliver, and shall have no obligation to deliver, physical possession of all or any part of the Property; obtaining possession shall be at the sole cost, risk, and expense of the successful bidder.

To qualify as a bidder, each bidder except the Lender or its affiliates must tender a bid deposit of One Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($150,000.00). The bid deposit must be by bank certified or cashier’s check payable to the order of Steven L. Higgs, P.C., Substitute Trustee. The bid deposit of each bidder must be tendered, exhibited, or delivered, as determined by the Substitute Trustee, prior to the commencement of the sale. At the close of bidding, all deposits will be returned except for the deposit of the successful bidder. All bids will be provisional, and are subject to the Substitute Trustee accepting a higher or better offer, until a successful bid is accepted by the Substitute Trustee; upon acceptance of a successful bid, the Substitute Trustee will require that a contract of sale be entered into by the successful bidder.

The successful bidder (except the Lender or its affiliates) shall be required, within three (3) business days after acceptance of its bid, and as a condition to acceptance of its bid, to increase its deposit, by wire transfer to the Substitute Trustee, to an amount equal to ten percent (10{4ceb532c6f579389df471c6c1e832caf2346b74dc60fcbf6aabd4d29df3baf9c}) of its accepted bid.

At settlement, the balance of the purchase price, and accrued interest on the purchase price at the rate specified, less the amount of the retained deposit, will be due in immediately available federal funds by bank wire or interbank transfer for the account of the Substitute Trustee. If the successful bidder fails to timely increase the deposit as required above, or fails to deliver the purchase price to the Substitute Trustee and complete settlement by 12:00 Noon local time in Tazewell County, Virginia, on the date which is thirty (30) days from the date of the auction sale, then at the election of the Substitute Trustee the successful bidder shall be declared in default and the deposit shall be forfeited and applied to the costs of sale, including trustees fees, and the balance, if any, shall be delivered to the Lender to be applied against all amounts owed to Indenture Trustee; there shall be no refund of the deposit. This forfeiture shall not limit or be deemed to limit any rights or remedies of the Substitute Trustee or the Lender with respect to any default. The Property may be resold at the risk and cost of the defaulting successful bidder. Conveyance shall be by Trustees’ Deed, with special warranty of title, subject to the matters identified above, including all recorded and unrecorded liens, encumbrances, security interests, easements, rights-of-way, covenants, agreements, conditions, restrictions, leases, occupancy agreements and mechanics and materialmen’s liens, to the extent any of the foregoing may lawfully apply to the Property being sold, or any part thereof, and take priority over the liens and security interests of the Deed of Trust. If the Substitute Trustee is unable to convey title to the Property as described herein, then the sale shall be cancelled, and the deposit, without interest thereon, shall be refunded to the successful bidder, as its sole remedy at law or in equity, all other remedies being expressly waived by the successful bidder. Upon such refund of the deposit, the sale shall be void and of no further force and effect, and the successful bidder shall have no further claim against the Substitute Trustee or Indenture Trustee. Any past due real estate taxes and current real estate taxes prorated to the date of the sale shall be paid from the proceeds of sale. Adjustment of real estate taxes and all other public charges, assessments, sewer, water, drainage and other public improvements for the current year shall be made as of the date of the auction sale.
