To participate in the Auction, each prospective Bidder must, prior to the Qualification Deadline established by the Auctioneer:
All Initial Deposits will be held in the Auctioneer’s escrow account pending conclusion of the Auction. The Initial Deposit of any unsuccessful Bidder will be returned within three (3) business days following preliminary Bankruptcy Court approval of the sale to the Successful Bidder. The Trustee and Auctioneer reserve the right to reject any Bidder’s qualifications for any reason or no reason.
If the prospective Bidder is a legal entity (corporation, LLC, partnership, trust, or similar), it must provide its organizational documents, evidence of authority to bid and complete the purchase, and identification of all principals holding a beneficial interest of ten percent (10%) or greater. The Auctioneer may require additional information as a condition of qualification.

Qualified Bidders will receive access credentials and instructions for online bidding upon completion of the qualification process. The Auctioneer reserves the right to modify, postpone, extend, or cancel the Auction at any time, with or without notice, subject to any applicable Bankruptcy Court orders.

The sale is not subject to a reserve price; however, the Trustee reserves the right to reject any and all bids, in consultation with the Bankruptcy Court, if the high bid is deemed insufficient.
A Buyer’s Premium of ten percent (10%) of the Successful Bid Price will be added to the Successful Bid Price to determine the total Purchase Price. The Buyer’s Premium is payable by the Buyer to the Auctioneer and constitutes part of the total amount due at Closing. By way of example: if the Successful Bid Price is $500,000, the Buyer’s Premium is $50,000, and the total Purchase Price is $550,000.
Minimum bid increments will be established and announced by the Auctioneer prior to the commencement of bidding. The Auctioneer reserves the right to adjust bid increments during the Auction.

Within three (3) business days following the close of the Auction, the Successful Bidder must deliver an additional deposit sufficient to bring the total deposit held by the Auctioneer to ten percent (10%) of the total Purchase Price (Successful Bid Price plus Buyer’s Premium). The additional deposit must be in the form of certified funds or wire transfer as directed by the Auctioneer.
Example: If the Purchase Price is $550,000, the required total deposit is $55,000. The Successful Bidder’s $15,000 Initial Deposit is credited, and an additional $40,000 is due within three (3) business days.
The Successful Bidder’s deposit (Initial Deposit plus any additional deposit) is NON-REFUNDABLE, except in the sole circumstance that the Trustee is unable to convey the Interests to the Buyer through no fault of the Buyer, or if the Bankruptcy Court does not approve the sale. In all other circumstances, including Buyer’s failure to close, the deposit is forfeited.
The Initial Deposits of all unsuccessful Bidders will be returned, without interest, within three (3) business days following preliminary Bankruptcy Court approval of the sale to the Successful Bidder. The Auctioneer shall retain all deposits in escrow until such time.
The Auctioneer and Trustee may, at their discretion, designate a Backup Bidder (the next highest qualified bidder). The Backup Bidder’s deposit will be retained in escrow until such time as (a) Closing has occurred with the Successful Bidder, or (b) the Backup Bidder has been released in writing by the Trustee. In the event of a default by the Successful Bidder, the Trustee may, without further auction, offer the Interests to the Backup Bidder at the Backup Bidder’s last bid price.

Any liens or claims that attach to the proceeds of sale shall be addressed in accordance with the Bankruptcy Court’s Order.
The Buyer is strongly encouraged to obtain a title commitment and title insurance at Buyer’s sole expense. The Trustee and Auctioneer make no representation regarding the insurability of title. Any title objections must be raised prior to the submission of a bid.

The Buyer shall assume responsibility for all taxes and assessments accruing after the date of Closing.
Possession of the Assets (through the Interests) shall be delivered to the Buyer at Closing, subject to any occupancy, tenancy, or other rights disclosed in the information materials or otherwise of record. The Trustee makes no representation as to the existence or absence of any occupants or tenants.
