Although the initial option fee should be sent to the title company, 延长终止选择权的费用应直接交付给卖方.

Paragraph 6 on the 修正案 form states, “Buyer has paid Seller an additional Option Fee… .” Because this language is in the past tense, 它假定额外的期权费是在修改书签署之前支付给卖方的. The amendment acts more like a receipt.

How Much Should the Fee to Extend the Option Fee Be?

延长期权期的费用在买方和卖方之间可协商. There is no minimum or maximum amount. However, 买家 should not enter $0 to extend the option period. 如果不付款,买方将承担终止期权不具有强制执行力的风险. 无论双方约定的金额有多小,买方都应该支付给卖方. 如果不这样做,卖方就可以声称买方没有履行延长期权期所必需的合同义务.
