4.   Subject to the additional terms of this Paragraph, Seller agrees to assign to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to assume, pay and perform, those contractual obligations described in Exhibit “F” attached hereto and made a part hereof by reference (the “Exhibit G Contracts”). Seller further agrees to exercise due diligence to obtain the written consent of each party listed on the Exhibit “F” Contracts if consent to the Assignment by Seller to Buyer is required under the terms thereof. If such consent is required but not given despite Seller’s best efforts to obtain consent, Buyer’s agreement to assume, pay and perform the obligations under each such Exhibit “F” Contract shall be of no effect, and Seller shall have the obligation to perform the terms of non-assigned contract or to negotiate the termination thereof. Seller warrants that (i) it has provided Buyer with a true, correct and complete copy of each Exhibit “F” Contract, and (ii) Seller’s obligations under each Contract are current and that it has not committed any other breach thereof, (iii) it will maintain all Exhibit “F” contracts in full force and effect until closing unless Buyer shall consent in writing to the cancellation or lapse of one or more of such Contracts; and (iv) there are no other contractual obligations not listed on Exhibit “F” that Buyer may be required to pay in order to maintain in effect an existing service to the business formerly known as the Exotic Animal Paradise. Subject to Seller’s warranties being true and correct, Buyer will indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all payments, costs, liabilities or expenses that Seller may incur under the Exhibit “F” Contracts after the date of closing as a result of Buyer’s failure to promptly and satisfactorily perform its assumed obligations thereunder.


5.  Seller shall pay all taxes, general and special, and all assessments, which have been lawfully levied or assessed on any of the real, personal or intangible property that is the subject of this Contract and which can be paid at the date of this contract, except that all general, state, county, school and municipal taxes (exclusive of rebates, penalties or interest) payable during the calendar year in which the Deed and Bill of Sale is delivered shall be pro-rated between the Seller and the Buyer on the basis of said calendar year, as of the date of the delivery of the deed.  If the amount of any such tax to be pro-rated cannot then be ascertained, pro-ration shall be computed on the amount thereof for the preceding year, and any inaccuracies in such adjustment based upon final assessments and levies shall be adjusted between the parties by December 15, 2007

TITLE AGREEMENTS; CLOSING


6  The Seller shall, within twenty (20) days from the date hereof, deliver to the Buyer at the office of Buyer’s Missouri legal counsel, Kerry D. Douglas, P.O. Box 117, 111 W. Broadway, Bolivar, Missouri 65613, a commitment for the issuance of an Owners Title Insurance Policy in the amount of the purchase price for the real estate and improvements, and the closing of title shall be conditioned upon delivery of good and marketable title and the issuance of said title insurance commitment to such effect reasonably satisfactory to Buyer.  Subsequent acceptance of such evidence of title by the Buyer shall be a waiver of time of delivery.  The Buyer shall have ten (10) days after such delivery of the Title Insurance Commitment to examine same and to inform Seller in writing of any objections thereto.  If there are objections to the title, the Buyer shall specify the objections in writing and deliver same to Seller at Sellers address for notifications as set forth later in this Contract.  The Seller shall have any such objection removed from the Commitment for Title Insurance within thirty (30) days from the date of delivery of such objections.  In case such defects in title are not rectified within the time specified, this contract shall be null and void, unless the Buyer elects to waive such objection on delivery, and the money deposited aforesaid shall be returned to the Buyer and the title insurance commitment returned to the Seller.  Closing shall be extended if necessary to allow time for the examination of and objections to the title insurance commitment, or for the correction of conditions of title to which objections are made. It is understood and agreed that the title herein required to be furnished by the Seller is one marketable in fact as these words are developed or defined in Title Standard 4 of the Missouri Bar.  It is also agreed that any encumbrances or defect in the title which is of the type or comes within the scope of any of the Title Standards of the Missouri Bar shall not constitute a valid objection on the part of Buyer, provided Seller furnishes the affidavits, or other title papers, if any, described in the applicable standard. The title insurance commitment shall become the property of the Buyer. Notwithstanding the above provisions, the title insurance commitment may reflect an existing deed of trust from Seller to the O’Bannon Banking Company (“the O’Bannon Deed of Trust”) which the Deed of Trust from Buyer to Seller will wrap-around so long as Seller complies with the provisions of Paragraph 8 of this Contract with respect to said existing Deed of Trust. Seller agrees to pay all costs related to a search of the title, the issuance of a title insurance commitment conforming to the requirements of this Paragraph, and all expenses, if any, of curing title defects. The commitment shall set forth the conditions of the title company for it to remove the exceptions for boundary line discrepancies or easements that would be revealed by a valid survey of the property; the exception for mechanic’s liens not filed for record at the closing date; the exception for violations of local zoning or subdivision ordinances; the exception for bankruptcy proceedings involving the Seller and that are not filed for record in the County in which the property is located; matters first filed for record after the effective date of the Commitment from the final Owner’s Policy; and the exception for the rights of parties in possession of the property not reflected of record. It shall be the obligation of Seller to comply with all requirements of the title company to remove these exceptions, which shall be removed and the policy issued as of the date and time of the recording of the Deed from Seller to Buyer and not as of the Commitment date. In this connection, Seller shall provide Buyer with all surveys of the real estate and the location of the improvements thereon. If Buyer shall determine that existing surveys are insufficient for its purposes, it shall have the right to enter or to cause its contractors to enter the property for the purpose of conducting a lawful survey or supplement survey to that which currently exists, as the case may be.

7.   Seller’s conveyance to Buyer may be subject to the lien of the O’Bannon Deed of

Trust so long as (i) O’Bannon gives written consent to the transfer of the property and waives its right to accelerate the indebtedness secured thereby, and (ii) O’Bannon agrees in writing to release the property from the terms of O’Bannon Deed of Trust at or before Buyer’s full payment of the indebtedness to Seller to be evidenced by the Exhibit “C” Promissory Note.
