Condominium or Homeowners’ Association). Such lien(s), if any, whether certified, confirmed and ratified, pending, or payable in installments,
as of Closing, shall be paid as follows: ❏ by Seller at closing ❏ by Buyer (if left blank, then Seller at Closing). If the amount of any
assessment to be paid by Seller has not been finally determined as of Closing, Seller shall be charged at Closing an amount equal to the

“AS IS” STANDARDS FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
A. TITLE INSURANCE: The Title Commitment shall be issued by a Florida licensed title insurer agreeing to issue Buyer, upon recording of the deed to Buyer,
an owner’s policy of title insurance in the amount of the purchase price, insuring Buyer’s marketable title to the Real Property, subject only to matters contained
in Paragraph VII and those to be discharged by Seller at or before Closing. Marketable title shall be determined according to applicable Title Standards adopt-
ed by authority of The Florida Bar and in accordance with law. Buyer shall have 5 days from date of receiving the Title Commitment to examine it, and if title is
found defective, notify Seller in writing specifying defect(s) which render title unmarketable. Seller shall have 30 days from receipt of notice to remove the
defects, failing which Buyer shall, within 5 days after expiration of the 30 day period, deliver written notice to Seller either: (1) extending the time for a reason-
able period not to exceed 120 days within which Seller shall use diligent effort to remove the defects; or (2) requesting a refund of deposit(s) paid which shall
be returned to Buyer. If Buyer fails to so notify Seller, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the title as it then is. Seller shall, if title is found unmarketable,
use diligent effort to correct defect(s) within the time provided. If, after diligent effort, Seller is unable to timely correct the defects, Buyer shall either waive the
defects, or receive a refund of deposit(s), thereby releasing Buyer and Seller from all further obligations under this Contract. If Seller is to provide the Title
Commitment and it is delivered to Buyer less than 5 days prior to Closing, Buyer may extend Closing so that Buyer shall have up to 5 days from date of receipt
to examine same in accordance with this “AS IS” Standard.
B. PURCHASE MONEY MORTGAGE; SECURITY AGREEMENT TO SELLER: A purchase money mortgage and mortgage note to Seller shall provide for a
30 day grace period in the event of default if a first mortgage and a 15 day grace period if a second or lesser mortgage; shall provide for right of prepayment
in whole or in part without penalty; shall permit acceleration in event of transfer of the Real Property; shall require all prior liens and encumbrances to be kept
in good standing; shall forbid modifications of, or future advances under, prior mortgage(s); shall require Buyer to maintain policies of insurance containing a
standard mortgagee clause covering all improvements located on the Real Property against fire and all perils included within the term “extended coverage
endorsements” and such other risks and perils as Seller may reasonably require, in an amount equal to their highest insurable value; and the mortgage, note
and security agreement shall be otherwise in form and content required by Seller, but Seller may only require clauses and coverage customarily found in mort-
gages, mortgage notes and security agreements generally utilized by savings and loan institutions or state or national banks located in the county wherein the
Real Property is located. All Personal Property and leases being conveyed or assigned will, at Seller’s option, be subject to the lien of a security agreement evi-
denced by recorded or filed financing statements or certificates of title. If a balloon mortgage, the final payment will exceed the periodic payments thereon.
C. SURVEY: Buyer, at Buyer’s expense, within time allowed to deliver evidence of title and to examine same, may have the Real Property surveyed and certi-
fied by a registered Florida surveyor. If the survey discloses encroachments on the Real Property or that improvements located thereon encroach on setback
lines, easements, lands of others or violate any restrictions, Contract covenants or applicable governmental regulations, the same shall constitute a title defect.
D. WOOD DESTROYING ORGANISMS: DELETED
E. INGRESS AND EGRESS: Seller warrants and represents that there is ingress and egress to the Real Property sufficient for its intended use as described
in Paragraph VII hereof and title to the Real Property is insurable in accordance with “AS IS” Standard A without exception for lack of legal right of access.
F. LEASES: Seller shall at least 10 days before Closing, furnish to Buyer copies of all written leases and estoppel letters from each tenant specifying the nature
and duration of the tenant’s occupancy, rental rates, advanced rent and security deposits paid by tenant. If Seller is unable to obtain such letter from each ten-
ant, the same information shall be furnished by Seller to Buyer within that time period in the form of a Seller’s affidavit, and Buyer may thereafter contact ten-
ant to confirm such information. If the terms of the leases differ materially from Seller’s representations, Buyer may terminate this Contract by delivering written
notice to Seller at least 5 days prior to Closing. Seller shall, at Closing, deliver and assign all original leases to Buyer.
G. LIENS: Seller shall furnish to Buyer at time of Closing an affidavit attesting to the absence, unless otherwise provided for herein, of any financing statement,
claims of lien or potential lienors known to Seller and further attesting that there have been no improvements or repairs to the Real Property for 90 days imme-
diately preceding date of Closing. If the Real Property has been improved or repaired within that time, Seller shall deliver releases or waivers of construction
liens executed by all general contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen in addition to Seller’s lien affidavit setting forth the names of all such gen-
eral contractors, subcontractors, suppliers and materialmen, further affirming that all charges for improvements or repairs which could serve as a basis for a
construction lien or a claim for damages have been paid or will be paid at the Closing of this Contract.
H. PLACE OF CLOSING: Closing shall be held in the county wherein the Real Property is located at the office of the attorney or other closing agent (“Closing
Agent”) designated by the party paying for title insurance, or, if no title insurance, designated by Seller.
I. TIME: Calendar days shall be used in computing time periods except periods of less than six (6) days, in which event Saturdays, Sundays and state or nation-
al legal holidays shall be excluded. Any time periods provided for herein which shall end on a Saturday, Sunday, or a legal holiday shall extend to 5:00 p.m. of the
next business day. Time is of the essence in this Contract.
J. CLOSING DOCUMENTS: Seller shall furnish the deed, bill of sale, certificate of title, construction lien affidavit, owner’s possession affidavit, assignments of leas-
es, tenant and mortgagee estoppel letters and corrective instruments. Buyer shall furnish mortgage, mortgage note, security agreement and financing statements.
K. EXPENSES: Documentary stamps on the deed and recording of corrective instruments shall be paid by Seller. All costs of Buyer’s loan (whether obtained
from Seller or third party), including, but not limited to, documentary stamps and intangible tax on the purchase money mortgage and any mortgage assumed,
mortgagee title insurance commitment with related fees, and recording of purchase money mortgage, deed and financing statements shall be paid by Buyer.
Unless otherwise provided by law or rider to this Contract, charges for related closing services, title search, and closing fees (including preparation of closing
statement), shall be paid by the party r
esponsible for furnishing the title evidence in accordance with Paragraph V.
L. PRORATIONS; CREDITS: Taxes, assessments, r
ent, interest, insurance and other expenses of the Property shall be prorated through the day before Closing.
Buyer shall have the option of taking over existing policies of insurance, if assumable, in which event premiums shall be prorated. Cash at Closing shall be
increased or decreased as may be required by prorations to be made through day prior to Closing, or occupancy, if occupancy occurs before Closing. Advance
rent and security deposits will be credited to Buyer. Escrow deposits held by mortgagee will be credited to Seller. Taxes shall be prorated based on the current
year’s tax with due allowance made for maximum allowable discount, homestead and other exemptions. If Closing occurs at a date when the current year’s mill-
age is not fixed and current year’s assessment is available, taxes will be prorated based upon such assessment and prior year’s millage. If current year’s assess-
ment is not available, then taxes will be prorated on prior year’s tax. If there are completed improvements on the Real Property by January 1st of year of Closing,
which improvements were not in existence on January 1st of prior year, then taxes shall be prorated based upon prior year’s millage and at an equitable assess-
ment to be agreed upon between the parties; failing which, request shall be made to the County Property Appraiser for an informal assessment taking into
account available exemptions. A tax proration based on an estimate shall, at request of either party, be readjusted upon receipt of current year’s tax bill.
M. (RESERVED - purposely left blank)
N. INSPECTION AND REPAIR: DELETED
O. RISK OF LOSS: If, after the Effective Date, the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty (“Casualty Loss”) before Closing and cost of restoration (which
shall include the cost of pruning or removing damaged trees) does not exceed 1.5% of the Purchase Price, cost of restoration shall be an obligation of Seller and
Closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this Contract, and if restoration is not completed as of Closing, restoration costs will be escrowed at Closing. If
the cost of restoration exceeds 1.5% of the Purchase Price, Buyer shall either take the Property as is, together with the 1.5% or receive a refund of deposit(s)
thereby releasing Buyer and Seller from all further obligations under this Contract. Seller’s sole obligation with respect to tree damage by casualty or other natu-
ral occurrence shall be the cost of pruning or removal.
P. CLOSING PROCEDURE: The deed shall be recorded upon clearance of funds. If the title agent insures adverse matters pursuant to Section 627.7841,
F.S., as amended, the escrow and closing procedure required by this “AS IS” Standard shall be waived. Unless waived as set forth above the following

closing procedures shall apply: (1) all closing proceeds shall be held in escrow by the Closing Agent for a period of not more than 5 days after Closing; (2)
if Seller’s title is rendered unmarketable, through no fault of Buyer, Buyer shall, within the 5 day period, notify Seller in writing of the defect and Seller shall
have 30 days from date of receipt of such notification to cure the defect; (3) if Seller fails to timely cure the defect, all deposits and closing funds shall, upon
written demand by Buyer and within 5 days after demand, be returned to Buyer and, simultaneously with such repayment, Buyer shall return the Personal
Property, vacate the Real Property and reconvey the Property to Seller by special warranty deed and bill of sale; and (4) if Buyer fails to make timely demand
for refund, Buyer shall take title as is, waiving all rights against Seller as to any intervening defect except as may be available to Buyer by virtue of war-
ranties contained in the deed or bill of sale.
Q. ESCROW: Any Closing Agent or escrow agent (collectively “Agent”) receiving funds or equivalent is authorized and agrees by acceptance of them to deposit
them promptly, hold same in escrow and, subject to clearance, disburse them in accordance with terms and conditions of this Contract. Failure of funds to
clear shall not excuse Buyer’s performance. If in doubt as to Agent’s duties or liabilities under the provisions of this Contract, Agent may, at Agent’s option, con-
tinue to hold the subject matter of the escrow until the parties hereto agree to its disbursement or until a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction shall
determine the rights of the parties, or Agent may deposit same with the clerk of the circuit court having jurisdiction of the dispute. An attorney who represents
a party and also acts as Agent may represent such party in such action. Upon notifying all parties concerned of such action, all liability on the part of Agent
shall fully terminate, except to the extent of accounting for any items previously delivered out of escrow. If a licensed real estate broker, Agent will comply with
provisions of Chapter 475, F.S., as amended. Any suit between Buyer and Seller wherein Agent is made a party because of acting as Agent hereunder, or in
any suit wherein Agent interpleads the subject matter of the escrow, Agent shall recover reasonable attorney’s fees and costs incurred with these amounts to
be paid from and out of the escrowed funds or equivalent and charged and awarded as court costs in favor of the prevailing party. The Agent shall not be liable
to any party or person for misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of items subject to the escrow, unless such misdelivery is due to willful breach of the provisions of this
Contract or gross negligence of Agent.
R. ATTORNEY’S FEES; COSTS: In any litigation, including breach, enforcement or interpretation, arising out of this Contract, the prevailing party in such liti-
gation, which, for purposes of this ”AS IS” Standard, shall include Seller, Buyer and any brokers acting in agency or nonagency relationships authorized by
Chapter 475, F.S., as amended, shall be entitled to recover from the non-prevailing party reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses.
S. FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE: If Buyer fails to perform this Contract within the time specified, including payment of all deposits, the deposit(s) paid by
Buyer and deposit(s) agreed to be paid, may be recovered and retained by and for the account of Seller as agreed upon liquidated damages, consideration for
the execution of this Contract and in full settlement of any claims; whereupon, Buyer and Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under this Contract; or Seller,
at Seller’s option, may proceed in equity to enforce Seller’s rights under this Contract. If for any reason other than failure of Seller to make Seller’s title mar-
ketable after diligent effort, Seller fails, neglects or refuses to perform this Contract, Buyer may seek specific performance or elect to receive the return of Buyer’s
deposit(s) without thereby waiving any action for damages resulting from Seller’s breach.
T. CONTRACT NOT RECORDABLE; PERSONS BOUND; NOTICE; COPIES: Neither this Contract nor any notice of it shall be recorded in any public records.
This Contract shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors in interest. Whenever the context permits, singular shall include plural and
one gender shall include all. Notice and delivery given by or to the attorney or broker representing any party shall be as effective as if given by or to that party.
All notices must be in writing and may be made by mail, personal delivery or electronic media. A legible facsimile or electronic (including “pdf”) copy of this
Contract and any signatures hereon shall be considered for all purposes as an original.
U. CONVEYANCE: Seller shall convey marketable title to the Real Property by statutory warranty, trustee’s, personal representative’s, or guardian’s deed, as
appropriate to the status of Seller, subject only to matters contained in Paragraph VII and those otherwise accepted by Buyer. Personal Property shall, at the
request of Buyer, be transferred by an absolute bill of sale with warranty of title, subject only to such matters as may be otherwise provided for herein.
V. OTHER AGREEMENTS: No prior or present agreements or representations shall be binding upon Buyer or Seller unless included in this Contract. No mod-
ification to or change in this Contract shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless in writing and executed by the parties intended to be bound by it.
W. SELLER DISCLOSURE: (1) There are no facts known to Seller materially affecting the value of the Property which are not readily observable by Buyer or
which have not been disclosed to Buyer; (2) Seller extends and intends no warranty and makes no representation of any type, either express or implied,
as to the physical condition or history of the Property; (3) Seller has received no written or verbal notice from any governmental entity or agency as
to a currently uncorrected building, environmental or safety code violation; (4) Seller has no knowledge of any repairs or improvements made to the
Property without compliance with governmental regulation which have not been disclosed to Buyer.
X. PROPERTY MAINTENANCE; PROPERTY ACCESS; ASSIGNMENT OF CONTRACTS AND WARRANTIES: Seller shall maintain the Property, including,
but not limited to lawn, shrubbery, and pool in the condition existing as of Effective Date, ordinary wear and tear and Casualty Loss excepted. Seller shall, upon
reasonable notice, provide utilities service and access to the Property for appraisal and inspections, including a walk-through prior to Closing, to confirm that
all items of Personal Property are on the Real Property and that the Property has been maintained as required by this “AS IS” Standard. Seller will assign all
assignable repair and treatment contracts and warranties to Buyer at Closing.
Y. 1031 EXCHANGE: If either Seller or Buyer wish to enter into a like-kind exchange (either simultaneous with Closing or deferred) with respect to the Property
under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Exchange”), the other party shall cooperate in all reasonable respects to effectuate the Exchange, includ-
ing the execution of documents; provided (1) the cooperating party shall incur no liability or expense related to the Exchange and (2) the Closing shall not be
contingent upon, nor extended or delayed by, such Exchange.
Z. BUYER W
