<br />reported to the U.S. Department of Treasury Financial Crimes Enforcement Network, Parties shall provide to
<br />Settlement Agent documentation required to complete the Residential Real Estate (RRE) report including, but not
<br />limited to, full legal name of the a) Buyer entity or trust and its Beneficial Owners and Signers, and the b) Seller
<br />(or their entity or trust), along with all parties’ street addresses, IRS taxpayer identification numbers and any
<br />associated individuals’ dates of birth. This requirement is limited to residential real estate transactions purchased
<br />with all cash or without institutional lender financing, where at least one buyer/transferee is a legal entity, limited
<br />liability company, corporation, partnership, trust, or other non-natural person. Settlement Agent may assess a
<br />charge for gathering information and preparing and filing the RRE, which will be in addition to the standard
<br />escrow fee and will be paid by Buyer unless the purchase contract provides otherwise.
<br />Copies of Documents; Electronic Signatures, Executed in Counterpart: Settlement Agent is authorized
<br />to rely upon a copy of any document as if it were an original, may agree to accept electronically signed
<br />documents, and may rely on documents executed in counterpart. If requested, original documents shall be
<br />delivered to Settlement Agent, which may withhold performing escrow functions such as providing documents or
<br />funds due to the party until the requested original documents are delivered to Settlement Agent. Documents to
<br />be recorded MUST contain original ink signatures unless use of a digital original has been approved in advance.
<br />Remote Online Notary (RON) Authorization: Any document for use in this transaction may be executed
<br />electronically and any document, including deeds, mortgages, or deeds of trust that requires notarization, may be
<br />executed and notarized digitally using a notary in a state where there is a currently effective RON law.
<br />This authorization permits, but does not require, electronic execution of documents or notarization via RON and is
<br />subject to requirements of Settlement Agent and Title Insurer. This authorization is contingent upon the
<br />governmental recorder of the Property accepting RON notarized documents for recording in electronic or paper
<br />form.
<br />Additional Fees for Third Party Services: Settlement Agent may incur additional costs for services performed
<br />by third parties. The fees charged by Settlement Agent for such services including, but not limited to, wire

<br />incurred by the Settlement Agent, if and as permitted by applicable law.
<br />Payoffs to Lenders/Lienholders: Payoffs of existing loans or liens may be made as required by the lender.
<br />Payoffs may include additional days of interest to account for delivery. Certain payments, such as home equity
<br />line of credit payoffs, may require additional time to process. Settlement Agent will not be responsible for
<br />obtaining a refund of any overages or return of escrow account balances.
<br />Property Survey Matters: The title insurance commitment or preliminary report may disclose a standard policy
<br />survey exception, which will show on the Policy unless a survey meeting Settlement Agent’s or government
<br />requirements is provided to the Settlement Agent prior to closing. Any encroachments or other matters disclosed
<br />on a survey may be added as additional exceptions on the Policy.

<br />inaction regarding the matters addressed herein or for any other loss or damage that is not caused by Settlement
<br />Agent. Settlement Agent's sole responsibility arises under the instructions given to and agreed to by Settlement
<br />Agent. The Parties further waive any special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages arising
<br />out of or in connection with the instructions given to Settlement Agent.

<br />duties to provide its escrow services or any time after escrowed funds become dormant as determined by
<br />Settlement Agent, Settlement Agent may, AT ITS SOLE DISCRETION, file an action in interpleader, or file any
<br />other appropriate and necessary action, and deposit the escrowed funds with the clerk of the court. All costs, fees
<br />and expenses including attorney's fees incurred by the Settlement Agent in an action may be deducted from the
<br />escrowed funds held prior to or upon depositing any of the remaining escrowed funds with the clerk of the court.
