This form was updated in three areas:
a) Paragraph 4 – The clause requiring that the Settlement occur on the prior business day in the event the Settlement Date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday was moved from Paragraph 33(E) to Paragraph 4.
b) Paragraph 13 – Clarifies that while wall mounted electronic components/devices do not convey with the property, related mounts, brackets and hardware do convey with the property unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. This is intended to clarify conveyance and to address disputes between parties regarding the removal of the mounts and the adequacy of repairs of the holes left behind when mounts are removed.
c) Paragraph 20 – Adds a check box for situations where no Wood-Destroying Insect Inspection is required or requested by a lender or the parties.
These changes were administrative in nature to correct a typographical error in Paragraph 15.
