surveyor. If survey shows encroachment on real property or that improvements located on real property
encroach on setback lines, easements, lands of others, or violate any restrictions, agreement covenants
or applicable governmental regulation, the same shall constitute a title defect.
C. Ingress and Egress: Seller warrants and represents that there is ingress and
egress to the real property sufficient for the intended use as described herein, title to which is in
accordance with Standard A.
D. Leases: If applicable, Seller shall, not less than fifteen (15) days before closing,

contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and materialmen in addition to Seller's lien affidavit setting forth

prorated on the prior year's tax. If there are completed improvements on real property by January 1st of
year of closing which improvements were not in existence on January 1st of the prior year then taxes
shall be prorated based upon the prior year's milage and at an equitable assessment to be agreed upon
between the parties, failing which, request will be made to the County Property Appraiser for an informal

(3%) of the assessed valuation of the improvements so damaged, Buyer shall have the option of either

virtue of such loss or damage, or of canceling the agreement and receiving return of deposit(s).
N. Escrow: Any escrow agent ("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 agreement. Failure of clearance of
funds shall not excuse Buyer's performance. If in doubt as to Agent's duties or liabilities under the
provisions of agreement, Agent may, at Agent's option, continue to hold the subject matter of the escrow
until the parties mutually 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 with the clerk of the circuit court having
jurisdiction of the dispute. 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. (1987), as
amended. Any suit between Buyer and Seller where 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 the fees and costs to be charged and assessed as
court costs in favor of the prevailing party. Parties agree that Agent shall not be liable to any party or
person for misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of items subject to this escrow, unless such misdelivery is due to
willful breach of contract or gross negligence of Agent.
O. Failure of Performance: If Buyer fails to perform this Contract within the time
specified Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under Contract. If, for any reason other than failure of
Seller to make Seller's title marketable after diligent effort, Seller fails, neglects or refuses to perform this
Contract, the 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.
P. Agreement Not Recordable; Persons Bound; Notice: Neither this agreement
nor any notice of it shall be recorded in any public records. This agreement 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 given by or to the attorney for any party shall be as
effective as if given by or to that party.
Q. Conveyance: Seller shall convey the property by way of Warranty Deed subject
to an easement for any utilities that may exist and lie on the property.
R. Other Agreements: No prior or present agreements or representations shall be
binding upon Buyer or Seller unless included in this Contract. No modification or change in this Contract
shall be valid or binding upon the parties unless in writing and executed by the party or parties intended to
be bound by it.
S. Warranties: Seller warrants that there are no facts known to Seller materially

statement to that effect is in the closing statement.
K. Special Assessment Liens: Certified, confirmed and ratified special
assessment liens as of date of closing (and not as of Effective Date) are to be paid by Seller. Pending
liens as of date of closing shall be assumed by Buyer. If the improvement has been substantially
completed as of Effective Date, such pending lien shall be considered as certified, confirmed or ratified
and Seller shall, at closing, be charged an amount equal to the last estimate of assessment for the
improvement by the public body.
L. Inspection, Repair and Maintenance: Seller warrants that, as of ten (10) days
prior to closing, the ceiling, roof (including the fascia and soffits) and exterior and interior walls do not

appliances, heating, cooling, electrical, plumbing systems and machinery are in WORKING CONDITION.
Buyer may, at Buyer's expense, having inspections made of those items by an appropriately Florida
license person dealing in the construction, repair or maintenance of those items and shall report in writing
to Seller such items that do not meet the above standards as to defects together with the cost of
correcting them, prior to Buyer's occupancy or not less than ten (10) days prior to closing, whichever
occurs first. Unless Buyer reports such defects within that time Buyer shall be deemed to have waived
Seller's warranties as to defects not reported. If repairs or replacement are required, Seller shall pay up
to three percent (3%) of the purchase price for such repairs or replacements by an appropriately Florida
licensed person selected by Seller. If the cost for such repairs or replacement exceeds three percent
(3%) of the purchase price, Buyer or Seller may elect to pay such excess, failing which either party may
cancel this agreement. If Seller is unable to correct the defects prior to closing, the cost thereof shall be
paid into escrow at closing. Seller will, upon reasonable notice, provide utilities service for inspections.
Between the effective date and the closing, Seller shall maintain property including but not limited to the
lawn and shrubbery, in the condition herein warranted, ordinary wear and tear excepted. Buyer shall be
permitted access for inspection of property prior to closing in order to confirm compliance with this
standard.
M. Risk of Loss: If the property is damaged by fire or other casualty before closing
and cost of restoration does not exceed the purchase price of the property so damaged, cost of
restoration shall be an obligation of the Seller and closing shall proceed pursuant to the term so the
agreement with restoration costs escrowed at closing. If the cost of the restoration exceeds three percent
(3%) of the assessed valuation of the improvements so damaged, Buyer shall have the option of either
taking property as is, together with either the three percent (3%) or any insurance proceeds payable by
virtue of such loss or damage, or of canceling the agreement and receiving return of deposit(s).
N. Escrow: Any escrow agent ("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 agreement. Failure of clearance of
funds shall not excuse Buyer's performance. If in doubt as to Agent's duties or liabilities under the
provisions of agreement, Agent may, at Agent's option, continue to hold the subject matter of the escrow
until the parties mutually 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 with the clerk of the circuit court having
jurisdiction of the dispute. 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. (1987), as
amended. Any suit between Buyer and Seller where 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 the fees and costs to be charged and assessed as
court costs in favor of the prevailing party. Parties agree that Agent shall not be liable to any party or
person for misdelivery to Buyer or Seller of items subject to this escrow, unless such misdelivery is due to
willful breach of contract or gross negligence of Agent.
O. Failure of Performance: If Buyer fails to perform this Contract within the time
specified Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under Contract. If, for any reason other than failure of
Seller to make Seller's title marketable after diligent effort, Seller fails, neglects or refuses to perform this
Contract, the 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.
