that buyer, depending on what brokerage relationships are permitted by REALTOR®'s company policy. The following
subsections describe circumstances where Missouri law may permit or require a conversion of REALTOR®'s brokerage
relationship with Owner to a different brokerage relationship. Complete each subsection. Disclosure of any conversion to a
different brokerage relationship shall be made upon its occurrence as may be required by rule or regulation.

licensee(s) to represent Owner to the exclusion of all other affiliated licensees of REALTOR®; however, any licensee who
personally represents both Owner and the buyer in the same transaction shall be a dual agent or a transaction broker.
Further, if such broker supervises the licensees for both sides of a transaction, that broker will be a dual agent or a transaction
broker upon learning confidential information about either party to a transaction or upon being consulted by any licensee
involved in the transaction. Also, when the broker supervises the licensee representing or assisting one (1) side of the
transaction and personally represents or assists the other side, that broker will be a dual agent or a transaction broker. Any

consent of all parties. In such case, REALTOR® may act as a transaction broker with the duties and obligations of a
transaction broker under Missouri law as set forth following the parties' signatures below. Note: If REALTOR® wishes to
convert to transaction brokerage but Owner does not consent to such conversion, then REALTOR® may without liability
withdraw from representing Owner. Such withdrawal shall not prejudice the ability of REALTOR® to continue to represent the
