Commentary

Since banks, networks, and other third parties might insist upon additional documents or legal instruments, this provision requires the Owner to sign additional documents as the Purchaser may need to exploit the rights they have under the option agreement. It also gives the Purchaser the ability to sign these documents on the Owner's behalf if the Owner fails to do so.
