PERSONAL PROPERTY No examination or insurance as to the amount or payment of personal property taxes is required unless specifically requested. By signing these General Provisions, the parties to the escrow hereby acknowledge that they are indemnifying the Escrow Holder against any and all matters relating to any "Bulk Sales" requirements, and instruct Escrow Agent to proceed with the closing of escrow without any consideration of matter of any nature whatsoever regarding "Bulk Sales" being handled through escrow. 9.

If such right is exercised, all funds and documents shall be returned to the party who deposited them and Escrow Holder shall have no liability hereunder. 10.
