(A) Broker, if named in an agreement of sale, will keep all deposit monies paid by or for the buyer in an escrow account until the sale
is completed, the agreement of sale is terminated, or the terms of a prior written agreement between the buyer and Seller have been
met. This escrow account will be held as required by real estate licensing laws and regulations. Buyer and Seller may name a non-
licensee as the escrow holder, in which case the escrow holder will be bound by the terms of the escrow agreement, if any, not by
the Real Estate Licensing and Registration Act. Seller agrees that the person keeping the deposit monies may wait to deposit any
uncashed check that is received as deposit money until Seller has accepted an offer.
(B) Regardless of the apparent entitlement to deposit monies, Pennsylvania law does not allow a Broker holding deposit monies to
determine who is entitled to the deposit monies when settlement does not occur. Broker can only release the deposit monies:
1. If an agreement of sale is terminated prior to settlement and there is no dispute over entitlement to the deposit monies. A written
agreement signed by both parties is evidence that there is no dispute regarding deposit monies.

The Residential Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Act says that any seller of property built before 1978 must give the buyer an EPA
pamphlet titled Protect Your Family From Lead in Your Home. The seller also must tell the buyer and the broker what the seller knows
about lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards that are in or on the property being sold. Seller must tell the buyer how the seller
knows that lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards are on the property, where the lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards
are, the condition of the painted surfaces, and any other information seller knows about lead-based paint and lead-based paint hazards
on the property. Any seller of a pre-1978 structure must also give the buyer any records and reports that the seller has or can get about
lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards in or around the property being sold, the common areas, or other dwellings in multi-family
housing. According to the Act, a seller must give a buyer 10 days (unless seller and the buyer agree to a different period of time) from
the time an agreement of sale is signed to have a “risk assessment” or inspection for possible lead-based paint hazards done on the
property. Buyers may choose not to have the risk assessment or inspection for lead paint hazards done. If the buyer chooses not to have
the assessment or inspection, the buyer must inform the seller in writing of the choice. The Act does not require the seller to inspect for
lead paint hazards or to correct lead paint hazards on the property. The Act does not apply to housing built in 1978 or later.

At or before settlement, Seller may purchase a home warranty for the Property from a third-party vendor. Seller understands that a home

or waive as part of the Agreement. Seller understands that Broker who recommends a home warranty may have a business relationship

In consideration of Broker’s efforts to market Seller’s Property as stated in this Contract, Seller grants Broker a non-exclusive, world-
wide license (the “License”) to use any potentially copyrightable materials (the “Materials”) which are related to the Property and pro-
vided by Seller to Broker or Broker’s representative(s). The Materials may include, but are not limited to: photographs, images, video
recordings, virtual tours, drawings, written descriptions, remarks, and pricing information related to Seller’s Property. This License
permits Broker to submit the Materials to one or more multiple listing services, to include the Materials in compilations of property list-
ings, and to otherwise distribute, publicly display, reproduce, publish and produce derivative works from the Materials for any purpose
that does not conflict with the express terms of this Contract. The License may not be revoked by Seller and shall survive the ending of
this Contract. Seller also grants Broker the right to sublicense to others any of these rights granted to Broker by Seller. Seller represents
and warrants to Broker that the License granted to Broker for the Materials does not violate or infringe upon the rights, including any
copyrights, of any person or entity. Seller understands that the terms of the License do not grant Seller any legal right to any works that
Broker may produce using the Materials.
28. FIXTURES AND PERSONAL PROPERTY
(A) It is possible for certain items of personal property to be so integrated into the Property that they become fixtures and will be regarded
