394 (iii) PROCEDURE: The deed shall be recorded upon COLLECTION of all closing funds. If the Title

396 escrow closing procedure required by STANDARD J shall be waived, and Closing Agent shall, subject to
397 COLLECTION of all closing funds, disburse at Closing the brokerage fees to Broker and the net sale proceeds to
398 Seller.

401 and closing procedures shall apply: (1) all Closing proceeds shall be held in escrow by the Closing Agent for a period
402 of not more than 10 days after Closing; (2) if Seller’s title is rendered unmarketable, through no fault of Buyer, Buyer
403 shall, within the 10 day period, notify Seller in writing of the defect and Seller shall have 30 days from date of receipt
404 of such notification to cure the defect; (3) if Seller fails to timely cure the defect, the Deposit and all Closing funds
405 paid by Buyer shall, within 5 days after written demand by Buyer, be refunded to Buyer and, simultaneously with
406 such repayment, Buyer shall return the Personal Property, vacate the Real Property and re-convey the Property to

408 Deposit, Buyer shall take title as is, waiving all rights against Seller as to any intervening defect except as may be
409 available to Buyer by virtue of warranties contained in the deed or bill of sale.
410 K. PRORATIONS; CREDITS: The following recurring items will be made current (if applicable) and prorated as of
411 the day prior to Closing Date, or date of occupancy if occupancy occurs before Closing Date: real estate taxes
412 (including special benefit tax assessments imposed by a CDD), interest, bonds, association fees, insurance, rents
413 and other expenses of Property. Buyer shall have option of taking over existing policies of insurance, if assumable, in
414 which event premiums shall be prorated. Cash at Closing shall be increased or decreased as may be required by
415 prorations to be made through day prior to Closing. Advance rent and security deposits, if any, will be credited to
416 Buyer. Escrow deposits held by Seller’s mortgagee will be paid to Seller. Taxes shall be prorated based on current
417 year’s tax with due allowance made for maximum allowable discount, homestead and other exemptions. If Closing
418 occurs on a date when current year’s millage is not fixed but current year’s assessment is available, taxes will be
419 prorated based upon such assessment and prior year’s millage. If current year’s assessment is not available, then
420 taxes will be prorated on prior year’s tax. If there are completed improvements on the Real Property by January 1st of
421 year of Closing, which improvements were not in existence on January 1st of prior year, then taxes shall be prorated
422 based upon prior year’s millage and at an equitable assessment to be agreed upon between the parties, failing which,
423 request shall be made to the County Property Appraiser for an informal assessment taking into account available
424 exemptions. A tax proration based on an estimate shall, at either party’s request, be readjusted upon receipt of
425 current year’s tax bill. This STANDARD K shall survive Closing.
426 L. ACCESS TO PROPERTY TO CONDUCT APPRAISALS, INSPECTIONS, AND WALK-THROUGH: Seller
427 shall, upon reasonable notice, provide utilities service and access to Property for appraisals and inspections,
428 including a walk-through (or follow-up walk-through if necessary) prior to Closing.
429 M. RISK OF LOSS: If, after Effective Date, but before Closing, Property is damaged by fire or other casualty
430 (“Casualty Loss”) and cost of restoration (which shall include cost of pruning or removing damaged trees) does not
431 exceed 1.5% of Purchase Price, cost of restoration shall be an obligation of Seller and Closing shall proceed
432 pursuant to terms of this Contract. If restoration is not completed as of Closing, a sum equal to 125% of estimated
433 cost to complete restoration (not to exceed 1.5% of Purchase Price), will be escrowed at Closing. If actual cost of
434 restoration exceeds escrowed amount, Seller shall pay such actual costs (but, not in excess of 1.5% of Purchase
435 Price). Any unused portion of escrowed amount shall be returned to Seller. If cost of restoration exceeds 1.5% of
436 Purchase Price, Buyer shall elect to either take Property “as is” together with the 1.5%, or receive a refund of the
437 Deposit, thereby releasing Buyer and Seller from all further obligations under this Contract. Seller’s sole obligation
438 with respect to tree damage by casualty or other natural occurrence shall be cost of pruning or removal.
439 N. 1031 EXCHANGE: If either Seller or Buyer wish to enter into a like-kind exchange (either simultaneous with
440 Closing or deferred) under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“Exchange”), the other party shall cooperate
441 in all reasonable respects to effectuate the Exchange, including execution of documents; provided, however,
442 cooperating party shall incur no liability or expense related to the Exchange, and Closing shall not be contingent
443 upon, nor extended or delayed by, such Exchange.
