Substitute Trustee shall hold any deposit in a non-interest bearing trust account. The deposit required to bid at the auction is waived for noteholder and any of noteholder's successors or assigns. Noteholder may bid up to the amount owed on the note plus all costs and expenses of sale on credit and may submit a written bid to Substitute Trustee that shall be announced at the sale. Substitute Trustee may enter into a contract of sale with the highest qualified bidder subject to ratification by the Court, and any memorandum of sale must indicate that the sale is subject to said ratification. If a third party bidder is successful at the auction, the bond filed in the Foreclosure Case shall be increased to the full amount of the purchase price, which shall be posted prior to ratification by the Court. Substitute Trustee shall file a Verified Report of Sale with the Court within thirty (30) days of the auction. The Verified Report of Sale shall specify the time, place, terms of the sale, the purchaser, the purchase amount, and the deposit held, together with an affidavit and documentation establishing that Substitute Trustee complied with the notice and advertisement requirements of the Deed of Trust and Sale Decree. Unless otherwise ordered at the time of ratification, settlement shall occur by payment of all sums due under the bid in certified funds to Substitute Trustee within thirty (30) calendar days from the entry of an order ratifying the sale.

If purchaser fails or refuses to settle within the allotted time frame, the deposit will be forfeited and Substitute Trustee may apply the deposit toward costs, fees and his compensation associated with the initial auction and the resale process.

Defaulting purchaser shall be liable to Substitute Trustee for legal fees and costs incurred by Substitute Trustee in connection with such default. If Substitute Trustee is unable to settle as set forth herein, purchaser's sole remedy at law and in equity shall be limited to a refund of the deposit and the sale shall be considered null and void and of no effect whatsoever.
