(b) Zoning, Permits and Approvals. Purchaser shall have obtained from all applicable federal, state, county, city, district, municipal and other authorities all permits, ordinances, resolutions, licenses and approvals including, without limitation, the obtaining of the proper zoning, use classifications, special uses, architectural approvals and permits, and building and sign permits, so as to permit, to the satisfaction of Purchaser, the development and the use by Purchaser of the Purchased Units.

Purchaser shall have obtained from the appropriate banking authorities having regulatory jurisdiction over Purchaser, including, but not limited to the Missouri Division of Finance and the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, such authorization and approvals as may be necessary to open and maintain the premises as a branch office and bank as desired by Purchaser.
Seller agrees to cooperate fully with Purchaser in Purchaser’s attempt to satisfy said contingencies, and in connection therewith, Seller agrees to execute such documents as may be necessary for Purchaser to make applications and obtain approvals or otherwise as is reasonably necessary for Purchaser to satisfy the contingencies.
If Purchaser gives written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, as the same may be extended by mutual agreement of the parties, that it desires to terminate this Sale Contract due to the inability of Purchaser or Seller (where applicable) to satisfy or waive one or more of the foregoing contingencies, then this Sale Contract shall be terminated and of no further force or effect and the Earnest Money plus interest thereon shall be returned to Purchaser without further act of Seller required. If Purchaser does not give the foregoing written notice to Seller on or before the expiration of the Feasibility Period, then Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived all of the foregoing contingencies and this Sale Contract shall continue in full force and effect.
