(a) Energy Efficiency: Buyer acknowledges receipt of the Florida Building Energy-Efficiency Rating System brochure. If this is a
new home, the builder’s FL-EPL card is attached as an addendum.
(b) Radon Gas: Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient
quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and
state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be
obtained from your county public health unit. Buyer may, within the Inspection Period, have an appropriately licensed person
test the Property for radon. If the radon level exceeds acceptable EPA standards, Seller may choose to reduce the radon
level to an acceptable EPA level, failing which either party may cancel this Contract.
(c) Flood Zone: Buyer is advised to verify by survey, with the lender and with appropriate government agencies which flood
zone the Property is in, whether flood insurance is required and what restrictions apply to improving the Property and rebuilding
in the event of casualty. If the Property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area or Coastal High Hazard Area and the buildings are built
below the minimum flood elevation, Buyer may cancel this Contract by delivering written notice to Seller within 20 days from
Effective Date, failing which Buyer accepts the existing elevation of the buildings and zone designation of the Property.

working condition of the item, including pitted marcite; missing or torn screens other than missing pool cage or screen
room screens; fogged windows; tears, worn spots and discoloration of floor coverings/wallpapers/window treatments;
nail holes, scratches, dents, scrapes, chips and caulking in bathroom ceiling/walls/flooring/tile/fixtures/mirrors; and
minor cracks in floor tiles/windows/driveways/sidewalks/pool decks/garage and patio floors.
(2) Professional Inspection: Buyer may have warranted items inspected by a person who specializes in and holds an
occupational license (if required by law) to conduct home inspections or who holds a Florida license to repair and maintain
the items inspected (“professional inspector”). Buyer must, within 5 days from the end of the Inspection Period, deliver
written notice of any items that are not in the condition warranted and a copy of the inspector’s written report, if any, to
Seller. If Buyer fails to deliver timely written notice, Buyer waives Seller’s warranty and accepts the items listed in
subparagraph (a) in their “as is” conditions, except that Seller must meet the maintenance requirement.
(3) Repair: Seller is obligated only to make repairs necessary to bring warranted items into the condition warranted, up
to the Repair Limit. Seller may, within 5 days from receipt of Buyer’s notice of items that are not in the condition
warranted, have a second inspection made by a professional inspector and will report repair estimates to Buyer. If the
first and second inspection reports differ and the parties cannot resolve the differences, Buyer and Seller together will
choose, and equally split the cost of, a third inspector, whose written report will be binding on the parties. If the cost to
repair warranted items equals or is less than the Repair Limit, Seller will have the repairs made in a workmanlike manner
by an appropriately licensed person. If the cost to repair warranted items exceeds the Repair Limit, either party may
cancel this Contract unless either party pays the excess or Buyer designates which repairs to make at a total cost to
Seller not exceeding the Repair Limit and accepts the balance of the Property in its “as is” condition.
(b) Wood-Destroying Organisms: “Wood-destroying organism” means arthropod or plant life, including termites, powder-post
beetles, oldhouse borers and wood-decaying fungi, that damages or infests seasoned wood in a structure, excluding fences.
Buyer may, at Buyer’s expense and prior to closing, have the Property inspected by a Florida-licensed pest control business to
determine the existence of past or present wood-destroying organism infestation and damage caused by infestation. If the
inspector finds evidence of infestation or damage, Buyer will deliver a copy of the inspector’s written report to Seller within 5
days from the date of the inspection. Seller is not obligated to treat the Property if all the following apply (i) there is no visible live
infestation, (ii) the Property has previously been treated, and (iii) Seller transfers a current full treatment warranty to Buyer at
closing. Otherwise, Seller will have 5 days from receipt of the inspector’s report to have reported damage estimated by a
licensed building or general contractor and corrective treatment estimated by a licensed pest control business. Seller will have
treatments and repairs made by an appropriately licensed person at Seller’s expense up to the Termite Repair Limit. If the cost
to treat and repair the Property exceeds the Termite Repair Limit, either party may pay the excess, failing which either party may
cancel this Contract. If Buyer fails to timely deliver the inspector’s written report, Buyer accepts the Property “as is” with regard
to wood-destroying organism infestation and damage, subject to the maintenance requirement.
(c) Walk-through Inspection: Buyer may walk through the Property solely to verify that Seller has made repairs required
by this Contract and has met contractual obligations. No other issues may be raised as a result of the walk-through
inspection. If Buyer fails to conduct this inspection, Seller’s repair and maintenance obligations will be deemed fulfilled.
9. RISK OF LOSS: If any portion of the Property is damaged by fire or other casualty before closing and can be restored within
45 days from the Closing Date to substantially the same condition as it was on Effective Date, Seller will, at Seller’s expense,
restore the Property and the Closing Date will be extended accordingly. If the restoration cannot be completed in time, Buyer
may accept the Property “as is” with Seller assigning the insurance proceeds for the Property to Buyer at closing, failing which
either party may cancel this Contract.
TITLE
10. TITLE: Seller will convey marketable title to the Property by statutory warranty deed or trustee, personal representative or
guardian deed as appropriate to Seller’s status.
(a) Title Evidence: Title evidence will show legal access to the Property and marketable title of record in Seller in accordance with
current title standards adopted by the Florida Bar, subject only to the following title exceptions, none of which prevent residential
use of the Property: covenants, easements and restrictions of record; matters of plat; existing zoning and government
regulations; oil, gas and mineral rights of record if there is no right of entry; current taxes; mortgages that Buyer will assume; and
encumbrances that Seller will discharge at or before closing. Seller will, prior to closing, deliver to Buyer Seller’s choice of one of
the following types of title evidence, which must be generally accepted in the county where the Property is located (specify in
Paragraph 5(c) the selected type). Seller will use option (1) in Palm Beach County and option (2) in Miami-Dade County.
(1) A title insurance commitment issued by a Florida-licensed title insurer in the amount of the purchase price and
subject only to title exceptions set forth in this Contract.
(2) An existing abstract of title from a reputable and existing abstract firm (if firm is not existing, then abstract must be
certified as correct by an existing firm) purporting to be an accurate synopsis of the instruments affecting title to the
Property recorded in the public records of the county where the Property is located and certified to Effective Date.
However, if such an abstract is not available to Seller, then a prior owner’s title policy acceptable to the proposed
insurer as a base for reissuance of coverage. Seller will pay for copies of all policy exceptions and an update in a format
acceptable to Buyer’s closing agent from the policy effective date and certified to Buyer or Buyer’s closing agent,
together with copies of all documents recited in the prior policy and in the update. If a prior policy is not available to
Seller then (1) above will be the title evidence. Title evidence will be delivered no later than 10 days before Closing Date.
(b) Title Examination: Buyer will examine the title evidence and deliver written notice to Seller, within 5 days from receipt of
title evidence but no later than closing, of any defects that make the title unmarketable. Seller will have 30 days from

receipt of Buyer’s notice of defects (“Curative Period”) to cure the defects at Seller’s expense. If Seller cures the defects
within the Curative Period, Seller will deliver written notice to Buyer and the parties will close the transaction on Closing
Date or within 10 days from Buyer’s receipt of Seller’s notice if Closing Date has passed. If Seller is unable to cure the
defects within the Curative Period, Seller will deliver written notice to Buyer and Buyer will, within 10 days from receipt of
Seller’s notice, either cancel this Contract or accept title with existing defects and close the transaction.
(c) Survey: Buyer may, prior to Closing Date and at Buyer’s expense, have the Property surveyed and deliver written notice to
Seller, within 5 days from receipt of survey but no later than closing, of any encroachments on the Property, encroachments by the
Property’s improvements on other lands or deed restriction or zoning violations. Any such encroachment or violation will be treated
in the same manner as a title defect and Buyer’s and Seller’s obligations will be determined in accordance with subparagraph (b)
above. If any part of the Property lies seaward of the coastal construction control line, Seller will provide Buyer with an affidavit or
survey as required by law delineating the line’s location on the property, unless Buyer waives this requirement in writing.
MISCELLANEOUS
11. EFFECTIVE DATE; TIME: The “Effective Date” of this Contract is the date on which the last of the parties initials or signs the
latest offer. Time is of the essence for all provisions of this Contract. All time periods will be computed in business days (a
“business day” is every calendar day except Saturday, Sunday and national legal holidays). If any deadline falls on a Saturday,
Sunday or national legal holiday, performance will be due the next business day. All time periods will end at 5:00 p.m. local
time (meaning in the county where the Property is located) of the appropriate day.
12. NOTICES: All notices will be made to the parties and Broker by mail, personal delivery or electronic media. Buyer’s failure
to deliver timely written notice to Seller, when such notice is required by this Contract, regarding any contingencies will
render that contingency null and void and the Contract will be construed as if the contingency did not exist.
13. COMPLETE AGREEMENT: This Contract is the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller. Except for brokerage
agreements, no prior or present agreements will bind Buyer, Seller or Broker unless incorporated into this Contract.
Modifications of this Contract will not be binding unless in writing, signed and delivered by the party to be bound. Signatures,
initials, documents referenced in this Contract, counterparts and written modifications communicated electronically or on paper
will be acceptable for all purposes, including delivery, and will be binding. Handwritten or typewritten terms inserted in or
attached to this Contract prevail over preprinted terms. If any provision of this Contract is or becomes invalid or unenforceable,
all remaining provisions will continue to be fully effective. This Contract will not be recorded in any public records.
14. ASSIGNABILITY; PERSONS BOUND: Buyer may not assign this Contract without Seller’s written consent. The terms
“Buyer,” “Seller,” and “Broker” may be singular or plural. This Contract is binding on the heirs, administrators, executors,
personal representatives and assigns (if permitted) of Buyer, Seller and Broker.
DEFAULT AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
15. DEFAULT: (a) Seller Default: If for any reason other than failure of Seller to make Seller’s title marketable after diligent effort, Seller
fails, refuses or neglects to perform this Contract, Buyer may choose to receive a return of Buyer’s deposit without waiving the right
to seek damages or to seek specific performance as per Paragraph 16. Seller will also be liable to Broker for the full amount of the
brokerage fee. (b) Buyer Default: If Buyer fails to perform this Contract within the time specified, including timely payment of all
deposits, Seller may choose to retain and collect all deposits paid and agreed to be paid as liquidated damages or to seek specific
performance as per Paragraph 16; and Broker will, upon demand, receive 50% of all deposits paid and agreed to be paid (to be
split equally among cooperating brokers) up to the full amount of the brokerage fee.
16. DISPUTE RESOLUTION: This Contract will be construed under Florida law. All controversies, claims and other matters in
question arising out of or relating to this transaction or this Contract or its breach will be settled as follows:
(a) Disputes concerning entitlement to deposits made and agreed to be made: Buyer and Seller will have 30 days from the
date conflicting demands are made to attempt to resolve the dispute through mediation. If that fails, Escrow Agent will
submit the dispute, if so required by Florida law, to Escrow Agent’s choice of arbitration, a Florida court or the Florida Real
Estate Commission. Buyer and Seller will be bound by any resulting settlement or order.
(b) All other disputes: Buyer and Seller will have 30 days from the date a dispute arises between them to attempt to
resolve the matter through mediation, failing which the parties will resolve the dispute through neutral binding arbitration
in the county where the Property is located. The arbitrator may not alter the Contract terms or award any remedy not
provided for in this Contract. The award will be based on the greater weight of the evidence and will state findings of fact
and the contractual authority on which it is based. If the parties agree to use discovery, it will be in accordance with the
Florida Rules of Civil Procedure and the arbitrator will resolve all discovery-related disputes. Any disputes with a real
estate licensee named in Paragraph 19 will be submitted to arbitration only if the licensee’s broker consents in writing to
become a party to the proceeding. This clause will survive closing.
(c) Mediation and Arbitration; Expenses: “Mediation” is a process in which parties attempt to resolve a dispute by
submitting it to an impartial mediator who facilitates the resolution of the dispute but who is not empowered to impose a
settlement on the parties. Mediation will be in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) or
other mediator agreed on by the parties. The parties will equally divide the mediation fee, if any. “Arbitration” is a process in
which the parties resolve a dispute by a hearing before a neutral person who decides the matter and whose decision is
binding on the parties. Arbitration will be in accordance with the rules of the AAA or other arbitrator agreed on by the

ESCROW AGENT AND BROKER
17. ESCROW AGENT: Buyer and Seller authorize Escrow Agent to receive, deposit and hold funds and other items in escrow and,
subject to clearance, disburse them upon proper authorization and in accordance with the terms of this Contract, including
disbursing brokerage fees. The parties agree that Escrow Agent will not be liable to any person for misdelivery of escrowed items to
Buyer or Seller, unless the misdelivery is due to Escrow Agent’s willful breach of this Contract or gross negligence. If Escrow Agent
interpleads the subject matter of the escrow, Escrow Agent will pay the filing fees and costs from the deposit and will recover
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to be paid from the escrowed funds or equivalent and charged and awarded as court costs in
favor of the prevailing party. All claims against Escrow Agent will be arbitrated, so long as Escrow Agent consents to arbitrate.
18. PROFESSIONAL ADVICE; BROKER LIABILITY: Broker advises Buyer and Seller to verify all facts and representations that
are important to them and to consult an appropriate professional for legal advice (for example, interpreting contracts,
determining the effect of laws on the Property and transaction, status of title, foreign investor reporting requirements, etc.) and
for tax, property condition, environmental and other specialized advice. Buyer acknowledges that Broker does not reside in the
Property and that all representations (oral, written or otherwise) by Broker are based on Seller representations or public records
unless Broker indicates personal verification of the representation. Buyer agrees to rely solely on Seller, professional inspectors
and governmental agencies for verification of the Property condition, square footage and facts that materially affect Property
