DEPOSIT AGREEMENT - REVERSE SIDE

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE TERMS WHICH ARE REFERRED TO IN THE FOREGOING AGREEMENT AND UPON WHICH THE DEPOSIT IS MADE:

In the event that the Depositor fails to comply with any of Depositor's obligations, Depositary may cause compliance therewith to be effected and pay out of the deposit any amount required to effect compliance, including any expense, disbursement, and/or counsel fees incurred in connection therewith. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, Depositary is authorized without notice to the Depositor to accelerate Depositor's performance date at any time that the Depositary, in its sole discretion, deems it advisable to do so to protect the title to the insured premises or the marketability thereof.

Depositary will hold this deposit and pay or collect interest and service charges in the manner prescribed by law or regulation.

Depositary may deduct from the deposit any unpaid title charges or other sums due to Depositary for which Depositor is liable. Depositor agrees to pay on demand any deficiency in case the deposit is not sufficient and further agrees to hold Depositary harmless from any loss or expense it may sustain by reason of such insufficiency.

Depositary accepts this deposit at the request of and for the accommodation of Depositor and as an inducement to issue its policy of title insurance to its insured. Depositor agrees to pay all charges and expenses, including Attorney's fees, incurred by Depositary by reason of its having accepted this deposit. Depositary shall have the right to issue reinsurance and indemnifications based on this deposit. In such event, this deposit shall continue to be held in accordance with its terms.

If the deposit remains in the hands of Depositary for more than one year, Depositary shall impose additional service charges of $25.00 per year. This Deposit is also subject to the provisions of the New York Abandoned Property Law, and the Company may be obligated to turn the balance of the Deposit to the State of New York. In such event, an additional service charge of $125.00 will be imposed.

This deposit may not be assigned by Depositor.

This Deposit Agreement constitutes the entire contract between Depositor and Depositary concerning the deposit. No modification of any of depositor's obligations shall be effective unless authorized in writing by Depositary.

If this deposit is taken for more than one purpose, in the absence of an agreement to the contrary, the allocation of funds among the several purposes shall be at the sole discretion of the Depositary.

Depositor acknowledges that the waiver by Depositary of any particular provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other provisions contained herein. Furthermore, in the event that any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
