unsatisfactory condition(s) disclosed by Seller or revealed by such inspection
shall be signed by or on behalf of Buyer and given to Seller on or before

      In the event the Property is located within a special taxing district and
Buyer desires to terminate this contract as a result, if written notice is
received by Seller on or before Off-Record Matters Objection Deadline (ss.2c),
this contract shall then terminate.  If Seller does not receive Buyer's notice by
such date, Buyer accepts the effect of the Property's inclusion in such special
taxing district(s) and waives the right to so terminate.
      d.    Right to Cure.  If Seller receives notice of unmerchantability of
title or any other unsatisfactory title condition(s) or commitment terms as
provided inss.8 a or b above, Seller shall use reasonable effort to correct said
items and bear any nominal expense to correct the same prior to Closing.  If such
unsatisfactory title condition(s) are not corrected on or before Closing, this
contract shall then terminate; provided, however, Buyer may, by written notice
received by Seller, on or before Closing, waive objection to such items.
      e.    Right of First Refusal.  If the Governing Documents require written
approval of the sale contemplated by this contract or waiver of any option or
right of first refusal by the owners' association or any other owner in the
owners' association, Seller shall timely submit this contract and request approval
of the sale or waiver of any option or right of first refusal pursuant to such
provisions.  If no such approval or waiver is obtained on or before Right Of
First Refusal Deadline (ss.2c), this contract shall terminate.  Buyer agrees to
cooperate with Seller in obtaining the approval and/or waiver if required by the
applicable Governing Documents and shall make available such information as the
owners' association may reasonably require.
      f.    Title Advisory.  The Title Documents affect the title, ownership and
use of the Property and should be reviewed carefully.  Additionally, other
matters not reflected in the Title Documents may affect the title, ownership and
use of the Property, including without limitation boundary lines and
encroachments, area, zoning, unrecorded easements and claims of easements, leases

SURFACE ESTATE DOES NOT NECESSARILY INCLUDE TRANSFER OF THE MINERAL RIGHTS. THIRD
PARTIES MAY HOLD INTERESTS IN OIL, GAS, OTHER MINERALS, GEOTHERMAL ENERGY OR

      a.    Casualty; Insurance.  In the event the Property or Inclusions shall
be damaged by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, in an amount of not more
than ten percent of the total Purchase Price, Seller shall be obligated to repair
the same before the Closing Date (ss.2c).  In the event such damage is not
repaired within said time or if the damages exceed such sum, this contract may be
terminated at the option of Buyer by delivering to Seller written notice of
termination.  Should Buyer elect to carry out this contract despite such damage,
Buyer shall be entitled to a credit, at Closing, for all the insurance proceeds
resulting from such damage to the Property and Inclusions payable to Seller but
not the owners' association, if any, plus the amount of any deductible provided
for in such insurance policy, such credit not to exceed the total Purchase Price.
      b.    Damage; Inclusions; Services.  Should any Inclusion(s) or service(s)
(including systems and components of the Property, e.g. heating, plumbing, etc.)
fail or be damaged between the date of this contract and Closing or possession,
whichever shall be earlier, then Seller shall be liable for the repair or
replacement of such Inclusion(s) or service(s) with a unit of similar size, age
and quality, or an equivalent credit, but only to the extent that the maintenance
or replacement of such Inclusion(s), service(s) or fixture(s) is not the
responsibility of the owners' association, if any, less any insurance proceeds
received by Buyer covering such repair or replacement.  Seller and Buyer are
aware of the existence of pre-owned home warranty programs which may be purchased
and may cover the repair or replacement of some Inclusion(s).
      c.    Walk-Through; Verification of Condition.  Buyer, upon reasonable
notice, shall have the right to walk through the Property prior to Closing to
verify that the physical condition of the Property and Inclusions complies with
this contract.
      19.   RECOMMENDATION OF LEGAL AND TAX COUNSEL.  By signing this document,
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that the Selling Company or the Listing Company has
advised that this document has important legal consequences and has recommended
the examination of title and consultation with legal and tax or other counsel
before signing this contract.
      20.   TIME OF ESSENCE AND REMEDIES.  Time is of the essence hereof.  If any

hereunder is not paid, honored or tendered when due, or if any other obligation
hereunder is not performed or waived as herein provided, there shall be the
following remedies:
      a.    If Buyer is in Default:
__           (1)   Specific Performance.  Seller may elect to treat this contract
as canceled, in which case all payments and things of value received hereunder
shall be forfeited and retained on behalf of Seller, and Seller may recover such
damages as may be proper, or Seller may elect to treat this contract as being in
full force and effect and Seller shall have the right to specific performance or
damages, or both.
__           (2)   Liquidated Damages.  All payments and things of value received
hereunder shall be forfeited by Buyer and retained on behalf of Seller and both
parties shall thereafter be released from all obligations hereunder. It is agreed

provided in subsection c) are SELLER'S SOLE AND ONLY REMEDY for Buyer's failure
to perform the obligations of this contract. Seller expressly waives the remedies
of specific performance and additional damages.
            b.     If Seller is in Default:  Buyer may elect to treat this
contract as canceled, in which case all payments and things of value received
hereunder shall be returned and Buyer may recover such damages as may be proper,
or Buyer may elect to treat this contract as being in full force and effect and
Buyer shall have the right to specific performance or damages, or both.
            c.    Costs and Expenses.  In the event of any arbitration or
litigation relating to this contract, the arbitrator or court shall award to the
prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorney fees.

or after Closing, and is not resolved, the parties shall first proceed in good
faith to submit the matter to mediation.  Mediation is a process in which the
parties meet with an impartial person who helps to resolve the dispute informally
and confidentially.  Mediators cannot impose binding decisions.  The parties to
the dispute must agree before any settlement is binding.  The parties will
jointly appoint an acceptable mediator and will share equally in the cost of such
mediation.  The mediation, unless otherwise agreed, shall terminate in the event
the entire dispute is not resolved 30 calendar days from the date written notice
requesting mediation is sent by one party to the other(s). This Section shall not
alter any date in this contract, unless otherwise agreed.
22.   EARNEST MONEY DISPUTE.  Notwithstanding any termination of this contract,
Buyer and Seller agree that, in the event of any controversy regarding the
Earnest Money and things of value held by broker or Closing Company (unless
mutual written instructions are received by the holder of the Earnest Money and
things of value), broker or Closing Company shall not be required to take any
action but may await any proceeding, or at broker's or Closing Company's option
and sole discretion, may interplead all parties and deposit any moneys or things
of value into a court of competent jurisdiction and shall recover court costs and
reasonable attorney fees.
23.   TERMINATION.  In the event this contract is terminated, all payments and
things of value received hereunder shall be returned and the parties shall be
relieved of all obligations hereunder, subject toss.ss.10c, 21 and 22.

hereof, and any prior agreements pertaining thereto, whether oral or written,
have been merged and integrated into this contract. No subsequent modification of
any of the terms of this contract shall be valid, binding upon the parties, or
enforceable unless made in writing and signed by the parties.  Any obligation in
