Purpose of the Jobsite Inspection When the Registrar receives a complaint against a contractor’s license alleging poor workmanship, the Registrar generally schedules a Jobsite Inspection. The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.

Jobsite Inspection Rights and Responsibilities Access to inspect: The property owner has complete control over who they allow on the property. However, if the Registrar’s investigator or the contractor cannot inspect the work, the Registrar will not move forward with a citation.

Cooperation: Arizona law enables injured parties to seek relief for damages through several paths. When dealing with a licensed contractor, the Registrar of Contractors’ administrative complaint process may serve as one of those possible paths. However, in order to use that path, the Registrar relies on the cooperation of all parties to a complaint.

Minimum workmanship: The Registrar investigates workmanship complaints for compliance with minimum workmanship and professional industry standards. The Registrar does not issue citations for work that meets these standards.

Scope: The scope of the Jobsite Inspection is limited to items listed in the complaint filed with the Registrar’s office. It is the complainant’s responsibility to point out the complaint item(s) and the Investigators role to review the item(s). If the complainant identifies additional workmanship items not listed in the original complaint, they must file an addendum to the complaint. The Registrar’s Investigator may identify additional administrative violations by the contractor (e.g. work performed out of scope of the license and failure to provide a contract that meets requirements set by Arizona law) at the time of the inspection.

The Role of the Investigator At the Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s investigator will: ● Only investigate the items listed on the complaint form filed with the Registrar. ● Will gather evidence to make an informed decision about the complaint items.

What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will leave the jobsite and review the evidence provided during the inspection. Generally, the investigator does not make any determination at the time of the jobsite inspection regarding whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.

Questions? If you have already filed a complaint and it was assigned to an investigator, you are encouraged to contact that investigator directly with the information listed in your jobsite inspection letter. If you have not filed a complaint yet or have not been assigned an investigator, you can reach the Registrar’s compliance department at (877) 692-9762.

The Jobsite Inspection serves two purposes: 1. To give the contractor an opportunity to inspect the complaint items; and 2. To give the Registrar an opportunity to determine if the contractor’s work violates Arizona law.

What to expect after a Jobsite Inspection After doing a Jobsite Inspection, the Registrar’s Investigator will determine whether the allegations listed in the complaint are supported. ● If the allegations are confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator may issue a Written Directive telling the contractor to correct the poor or incomplete work. ● If the allegations are not confirmed, the Registrar’s Investigator will close the complaint.

Written Directives Access: In order to use the administrative process offered by the Registrar, a property owner must provide reasonable access to allow the contractor to fix their work as directed by the Registrar in a Written Directive. Complainants may not put any additional, unnecessary restrictions on the Respondent above and beyond the initial contract requirements agreed upon at the beginning of the project. Respondents are required to make repairs on items identified on any Written Directive, not otherwise restricted by local code or HOA limitations. Complainants must make access available to the Respondent to make the required repairs and failure to provide reasonable access may result in the Registrar dismissing the complaint.

Contractor obligations: The Written Directive will set a deadline for compliance. This is the period of time determined by the Investigator as necessary to complete the items listed in the Directive. ● The deadline for compliance assumes the contractor will promptly begin working on the items listed in the Directive. ● Do not wait. Both parties should communicate quickly to schedule the work.

Extensions: If good cause exists to extend this deadline, either party may submit a written request to the Investigator. The Registrar will review requests for extension and determine if the Directive should be extended.

Manner and method of performance: The Registrar does not provide specific instructions for how to correct poor work. A licensed contractor is expected to have the skill and professionalism to complete the work. Moreover, the complainant may not dictate the manner of repair. If the contractor fails to appropriately correct the work according to the contract, the Registrar will issue a citation.

Compliance Inspection: After the Written Directive expires, the Registrar’s Investigator will contact the complainant to determine if the contractor performed any corrective work. ● If the contractor did corrective work, the Investigator may schedule a Compliance Inspection to determine if the poor work is corrected. ● If the contractor did not perform any corrective work, the Registrar’s Investigator will not do a Compliance Inspection and will determine whether to issue a citation based on the administrative record.

Work performed after the directive ends: After the Directive period ends, a property owner may choose to allow the contractor to continue its work. The Registrar encourages parties to work cooperatively, but cannot 1700 W.

a form provided by Seller.

4. FEES.

4.1 Processing Fee. Upon execution of this Agreement by Buyer, Buyer shall pay Seller a fee of $250.00 (USD) for the preparation and administration of this Agreement ("Processing Fee"). If Buyer requests and Seller approves any modifications or additions to On-Site Options or Home Gallery Selections after Buyer has finalized Personalization selections as provided in the On-Site Options and Home Gallery Selections Section, Buyer shall pay Seller a fee up to $500.00 (USD) for each modification ("Reprocessing Fees"). The Processing Fee and any Reprocessing Fees are not credited against the Total Purchase Price. The Processing Fee and Reprocessing Fees do not cover any third-party processing charges or costs, including without limitation Loan or credit processing fees, which Buyer must pay separately. The Processing Fee and Reprocessing Fees are not applicable if the Property is financed by a VA guaranteed loan.

4.2 Appraisal Fee. If Buyer owns another home that must be sold in order to purchase the Property, Seller may obtain an appraisal for that home at Buyer's cost which shall not exceed $500.00. Buyer shall pay Seller the cost of that appraisal upon the date of Buyer's execution of this Agreement ("Appraisal Fee"). The appraised value determined by this appraisal shall be the "Appraised Value" for purposes of the Existing Property Contingency Section of this Agreement. The Appraisal Fee is not credited against the Total Purchase Price.

4.3 Non-Refundable. All references in this Agreement to the return of the Deposit or the Personalization Deposit to Buyer, or to the return of amounts previously paid by Buyer, shall not include Processing Fees, Reprocessing Fees or Appraisal Fees. Processing Fees, Reprocessing Fees, and Appraisal Fees are non-refundable.

5. ON-SITE OPTIONS AND HOME GALLERY SELECTIONS. 5.1 Timing for Selections. Depending on the construction status of the Property and if offered by Seller, (a) Buyer may select certain optional items, or make changes or modifications to the Property offered on-site by Seller including for example, structural, architectural, electrical, or mechanical changes, additions, or deletions to the Property ("On-Site Options"); and/or (b) Buyer may select colors and materials for cabinets, carpet, countertops, floor coverings and other color and design items offered by Seller ("Home Gallery Selections"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the time Seller accepts this Agreement, certain On-Site Options and Home Gallery Selections may have already been selected by Seller and cannot be changed by Buyer. Buyer agrees to select available and offered On-Site Options within three days of Buyer's execution of this Agreement. If Home Gallery Selections are offered by Seller, Seller will contact Buyer to schedule an appointment to commence Buyer's selection of Home Gallery Selections and Buyer agrees to select all Home Gallery Selections at Buyer's Home Gallery Selections appointment. If Buyer is unable to attend the appointment scheduled by Seller, Buyer agrees to fully cooperate with Seller to promptly schedule the Home Gallery appointment within the time limits provided by Seller. Buyer understands and agrees that there may be On-Site Options and Home Gallery Selections that require a shorter time period for selection, and Buyer agrees to make On-Site Options and Home Gallery Selections within such shorter or other time periods as may be reasonably required by Seller. If Buyer fails to cooperate with Seller in promptly scheduling or rescheduling the Home Gallery Selections appointment within the time limits provided by Seller or fails to make any On-Site Options or Home Gallery Selection within the time limits provided by Seller, Seller may either (i) make selections for Buyer at no additional charge and those selections shall be binding on Buyer or (ii) terminate this Agreement. IF SELLER ELECTS TO TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT UNDER THIS SECTION 5.1, SELLER SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT AND THE PERSONALIZATION DEPOSIT AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES. Seller may charge a Late Closing Charge as provided below if Buyer's failure to timely make selections results in a delay in the Completion of the Property. 5.2 Personalization. Home Gallery Selections and On-Site Options are sometimes collectively referred to as "Personalization" and may reference standard options at no additional charge as well as selections for which Buyer will pay additional charges. Personalization not included in a Job Initiation Order shall be subsequently agreed to in writing on Seller's Change Order. Buyer agrees that no Personalization is binding upon Seller without Seller's Job Initiation Order or Change Order approved and signed by an authorized representative of Seller. If this Agreement is subject to the Existing Property Contingency or the Financing Condition, Buyer agrees that Seller shall have the right to modify any Personalization selected by Buyer at no additional charge, if Seller reasonably believes that the Personalization may adversely affect the marketability of the Property. Seller reserves the right to refuse to install any Personalization which Seller believes may cause the Total Purchase Price to exceed the Property's appraised

value. Buyer agrees that certain On-Site Options and Home Gallery Selections may not be offered in all homes. Any additional cost of Personalization selected by Buyer and approved by Seller after the date of execution of this Agreement by Buyer will be added to the Total Purchase Price. 5.3 Payment of Personalization Deposit. The Personalization Deposit shall be paid by Buyer upon execution by Buyer and acceptance by Seller of any Change Order. After Buyer has finalized Personalization selections as documented in Seller's Change Orders, a Reprocessing Fee will be charged for Personalization changes. Additions or changes to Personalization selections, other than those required due to unavailable Personalization selections, must be agreed to in writing on Seller's Change Order and the Reprocessing Fee shall be paid upon execution of the Change Order. Seller may choose not to commence installation of Personalization selections until Seller receives the Personalization Deposit. 5.4 Unavailable Personalization. If any Personalization selections (i) are unavailable or will not be available for installation for any reason, (ii) would be incompatible with the plans selected by Buyer, (iii) would require Seller to materially alter or modify work already performed, (iv) are subject to an increase in price beyond what is included on any price sheet provided to Buyer and approved by Seller, or (v) will result in a delay in Seller's construction schedule or in Closing, then such Personalization may be deemed unavailable by Seller and Buyer shall make new Personalization selections within five days after receipt of notice from Seller.

5.5 Failure to Provide Personalization Selections. If Seller does not provide the requested Personalization other than in accordance with exercising an express right granted to Seller under this Agreement, Seller will refund the portion of Buyer's Personalization Deposit and any Reprocessing Fee for the Personalization not provided. The proportionate refund of Buyer's Personalization Deposit and Reprocessing Fee will be Seller's only obligation for not providing the Personalization, and any such omission shall have no other effect upon this Agreement or the responsibilities of Buyer or Seller under this Agreement. If an incorrect Personalization is installed, then Buyer's sole right and remedy shall be repair and/or re-installation of the Personalization in question or, at Seller's option, Seller will refund Buyer's Personalization Deposit and Reprocessing Fee as to that item.

5.6 Appraisal. An appraiser may not give value to Personalization and lot premiums. If Buyer is obtaining a Loan or paying cash and the Total Purchase Price, including Buyer's Personalization selections, exceeds the appraised value, Buyer shall remain responsible for paying the Total Purchase Price, including the amount by which the Total Purchase Price exceeds the appraised value of the Property except in the case of VA guaranteed or Federal Housing Administration ("FHA") insured financing as described in the Financing Condition Section.

6. FINANCING CONDITION.

6.1 Loan. If Buyer is obtaining a Loan (as defined in this Section below) to pay all or part of the Total Purchase Price ("Financing Condition"), Buyer's obligation to purchase the Property is conditioned upon Buyer promptly obtaining a written loan commitment, prequalification letter, loan approval, conditional loan approval and/or such other similar document, in all events in a form and with such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Seller ("Loan Commitment"), from a Lender (as defined in Section 6.3 below) that is acceptable to Buyer and Seller. Buyer shall use best efforts to obtain the Loan Commitment within thirty days after the date of execution of this Agreement by Buyer ("Loan Commitment Date"), and if Buyer fails to do so, the provisions of Section 6.4 below shall apply. The Loan Commitment shall commit the Lender to lend money to Buyer for the purchase of the Property ("Loan"), and once the Loan Commitment is issued, the provisions of Section 6.5 below shall apply.

6.2 RESPA Notice. As required by the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, as amended or reenacted ("RESPA"), Seller notifies Buyer that Seller has business relationships with HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation ("HomeAmerican"), American Home Title and Escrow Company ("AHT"), and American Home Insurance Agency (known as AHI Insurance Agency in California) ("AHI") as more fully described in the attached Addendum titled Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement. Because of these relationships, referrals to these companies may provide Seller a financial or other benefit.

6.3 Loan Application. Buyer shall apply for a Loan from either HomeAmerican, or another lender of Buyer's selection satisfactory to Seller ("Lender") within seven days of the date of execution of this Agreement by Buyer. The loan application shall not be considered complete for purposes of this Agreement unless all information requested by Lender to complete the loan application has been provided to Lender. Buyer agrees to inform Seller on an ongoing basis of the status of the loan application. Buyer authorizes Seller to contact Lender to determine the status of

Buyer's loan application and consents to Lender's disclosure of this information to Seller. Buyer will notify Lender and Seller of any change in circumstances at any time during the term of this Agreement that may affect Buyer's ability to obtain a Loan or to purchase the Property. Buyer will fully cooperate with Lender in processing the loan application and take all action necessary to comply with all Lender requirements in a timely manner.

Seller may, at any time after Buyer's receipt of the Loan Commitment, give Buyer written notice that Seller in good faith believes Buyer may no longer qualify for a Loan of the type and/or amount necessary for the purchase of the Property. Within seven days of Seller's delivery of such written notice to Buyer, Buyer shall provide to Seller a Loan Commitment dated no earlier than seven days prior to Seller's request and conditioned only upon receipt of a satisfactory appraisal of the Property and the customary condition that no adverse change occurs in the financial condition or credit worthiness of Buyer.

Buyer acknowledges that (i) interest rates and loan costs fluctuate and may increase or decrease between the date of execution of this Agreement by Buyer and the Closing Date, and (ii) delays in construction of the Home or in Closing might result in higher interest rates, higher or additional costs, or expiration of the Loan Commitment. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer waives any rights or remedies against Seller that Buyer may have, now or in the future, for any fluctuation in the value of Buyer's Existing Property, changes in interest rates, higher or additional costs, or expiration of the Loan Commitment.

6.4 Failure to Obtain Loan Commitment; Extensions. If Buyer fails, despite best efforts, to obtain the Loan Commitment by the Loan Commitment Date, then the Loan Commitment Date may be extended by Seller, which extension shall be in writing. Seller may in its sole discretion require Buyer to make application (as provided above) with at least two additional qualified Lenders. If Buyer, after full cooperation, does not provide a written Loan Commitment by the Loan Commitment Date, as such Loan Commitment Date may have been extended in writing by Seller, Seller may terminate this Agreement, and the Deposit, and the Personalization Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer, except that portion attributable to Personalization selections already ordered by Seller, and both parties shall be relieved of further obligations under this Agreement. It is expressly agreed with respect to VA guaranteed loans only, that if Buyer's application for VA guaranteed financing is rejected by the Lender, Buyer may terminate this Agreement and, notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, Buyer will receive a refund of the Deposit and Personalization Deposit.

6.5 Acceptance of Loan Commitment by Buyer. Once the Loan Commitment is issued, Buyer will be deemed to have accepted the Loan Commitment unless Buyer otherwise notifies Seller in writing within two days after issuance of the Loan Commitment. If Buyer gives Seller such notice within the two day period, then Seller may terminate this Agreement and the Deposit and Personalization Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer except that portion attributable to Personalization selections already ordered by Seller, or Seller may, in its sole discretion, extend the Loan Commitment Date in accordance with the preceding paragraph. Once Buyer accepts the Loan Commitment or is deemed to have accepted the Loan Commitment, the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in this Agreement, and Buyer agrees to use best efforts to satisfy all Loan Commitment conditions.

If Buyer has accepted or is deemed to have accepted a Loan Commitment but thereafter (a) Buyer's Loan Commitment is terminated or rescinded and Buyer is unable to obtain and deliver a replacement Loan Commitment within such time as Seller may allow for such purpose, (b) Lender for any reason declines to fund the Loan to Buyer, or (c) Buyer is unable or unwilling to obtain the Loan that is the subject of the Loan Commitment or any substitute Loan Commitment (including, without limitation, as a result of an increase in interest rates or Lender costs or as a result of a delay in construction of the Home and/or Closing), THEN BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE IN DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND SELLER MAY IMMEDIATELY EXERCISE ALL OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, THE PERSONALIZATION DEPOSIT AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER. With respect to VA guaranteed loans only, Buyer will receive a refund of the Deposit and Personalization Deposit if Buyer's Loan Commitment is terminated by the Lender for any reason. If Buyer fails to close on the Closing Date scheduled by Seller due to changes in financing, Seller may, in its sole discretion, charge Buyer a Late Closing Charge in accordance with the Late Closing Charge section of this Agreement.

6.6 Sale or Lease of Buyer's Real Property. If this Agreement is not subject to an Existing Property Contingency under Section 7.1 below, but Buyer obtains a Loan Commitment conditioned upon the sale or lease of Buyer's present home or other real property before the Loan will be funded, then this Agreement will automatically be deemed subject to the Existing Property Contingency Section of this Agreement and Buyer shall select, within seven days after issuance of the Loan Commitment conditioned upon the sale or lease of Buyer's present home or other real property, an Existing Property Contingency election under the Existing Property Contingency Section of this Agreement. BUYER WILL BE IN DEFAULT IF BUYER FAILS TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF ITS OBLIGATIONS PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION, AND SELLER MAY IMMEDIATELY EXERCISE ALL OF ITS RIGHTS AND REMEDIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO RETAIN THE DEPOSIT, THE PERSONALIZATION DEPOSIT AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER.

6.7 Waiver of Financing Condition. Buyer may waive the Financing Condition at any time by written notice to Seller accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Seller that Buyer has, or prior to Closing will have, sufficient funds for Closing. If the Financing Condition is waived, the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit shall be non-refundable to Buyer except as may otherwise be expressly set forth in this Agreement.

6.8 Appraisal Requirements for FHA Insured Financing and VA Guaranteed Loans. Notwithstanding any contrary provision in this Agreement, if Buyer is obtaining VA guaranteed or FHA insured financing, Buyer will not be obligated to complete the purchase of the Property or incur a loss of the Deposit if the Base Price of the Property, plus the portion of the Personalization that is to be included in the Loan, exceeds the Property's appraised value as described in a direct endorsement by the Federal Housing Commissioner or a certificate of reasonable value from the VA, as applicable. In such event, if Buyer is obtaining VA guaranteed financing and fails to provide notice of Buyer's election to proceed or provides notice to Seller that Buyer does not desire to proceed with this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. If Buyer is obtaining FHA insured financing, and fails to provide notice of Buyer's election to proceed or provides notice to Seller that Buyer does not desire to proceed with this Agreement, this Agreement shall terminate and the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit, except that portion attributable to Personalization selections already ordered by Seller, shall be refunded to Buyer. Buyer may elect to proceed with the purchase of the Property without regard to the Property's value established by FHA or VA by providing notice to Seller of Buyer's election to proceed within three days of Buyer's receipt of the direct endorsement or certificate of reasonable value, as applicable. The value established by FHA or VA determines the maximum loan amount FHA will insure or VA will guarantee. Buyer agrees that FHA and VA do not warrant the value, condition or workmanship of the Property, and that Buyer should satisfy itself that the price, condition and workmanship of the Property are acceptable.

The Closing Agent shall conduct the Closing in accordance with the Closing and escrow provisions of this Agreement and the Title Insurance and Closing Costs Addendum. Subsequent to Closing, Buyer shall receive a standard coverage title policy in a form promulgated by the American Land Title Association or such equivalent policy authorized by the state in which the Property is located ("Owner's Policy") insuring Buyer's ownership of the Property in the amount of the Total Purchase Price, subject to the exclusions and exceptions as referenced in the Title Commitment. The premium for the Owner's Policy shall be paid in accordance with the custom and practice in the applicable jurisdiction as provided in the Title Insurance and Closing Costs Addendum.

10. CONSTRUCTION.

10.1 Home Construction. Copies of the plans selected by Buyer approved by the applicable governing authority are available for inspection at Seller's office during normal business hours. Plans are copyrighted by and are the property of Seller, and copies will not be provided to Buyer.

Upon Buyer's request, and if available, Seller will provide any existing written report on the soil investigations, analyses and tests performed by an independent soil engineer in the Subdivision in which the Property is located. Buyer accepts the soil conditions of the Property and foundation design and floor slabs and footings installed thereon without any expressed or implied warranties other than those contained in the Limited Warranty.

Buyer acknowledges that the Home, as selected by Buyer, may not fit within the Property boundaries in a manner that complies with the Covenants, or with governmental or quasi- governmental regulations. In such event, Buyer shall select alternate plans offered by Seller for the Lot or select an alternate lot if an alternate lot is available. If Buyer and Seller cannot agree on alternate plans, pricing, or other material matters related to the alternate selection, Buyer may terminate this Agreement, and the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer.

Buyer agrees that the Home is not being built to the particular elevations, style, square footage, design or specifications of the plans approved by the applicable governing authority, or the specifications or design of any model homes or as shown in brochures, advertising and promotional media displayed by Seller which are for advertising and display purposes only. There are multiple methods available to calculate square footage and square footage estimates may vary based on the method. Any estimate by Seller of the square footage of the Property or the Home may not be exact and is not for Loan, valuation or other purposes.

Buyer agrees changes or substitutions in the construction of the Home may be made during construction as may be required by any governmental or quasi-governmental authorities or by the architectural committee of the homeowners or planned community association for the Subdivision, or as Seller may deem necessary, provided that in any such event, substitutions or changes are of comparable quality. Lot grades, lot areas, lot shape, building elevation and location, and the location of fences, utilities, walks, and driveways may be established and changed in Seller's sole discretion.

Seller is not acting as a contractor or agent for Buyer in the construction of the Home. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall have no right, title or interest in the Property, other than the right and obligation to purchase the Property in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Seller may use one or more contractors, subcontractors and suppliers in the construction of the Home. These contractors are independent contractors of Seller, not agents of Seller. Buyer has no rights under any agreement between Seller and its contractors, subcontractors and suppliers.

10.2 Existing Natural Features. Seller reserves the right to remove any existing natural features, vegetation and trees on the Property as Seller in its sole discretion deems necessary to construct the Home. Seller shall not be responsible for any damage to existing natural features, trees or vegetation remaining following construction and makes no warranty or representation as to the survival of any existing trees or vegetation.

10.3 Surrounding Development. Buyer shall independently investigate the current and future uses of all property within, adjacent to, and nearby the Subdivision, and may not rely on any statements of Sales Associates, agents or brokers, or any brochures or displays in Seller's sales office about the use or character of any property. Buyer takes the Property subject to, and accepts the conditions of the property within, surrounding, adjacent to and nearby the Subdivision, and any state of facts which physical inspection of the Property and relevant public records would disclose, including without limitation, public utility poles, railroad tracks, and electric power lines. If Seller is a developer of the Subdivision, Seller reserves the right to develop the Subdivision according to Seller's plans, which may change from time to time. Seller has the right at any time, without notice, to elect in its sole discretion to (i) change the style, design, size, or price of homes that Seller may build, (ii) change the site features and amenities, site grades and drainage, (iii) cease construction and sale of homes within the Subdivision, or (iv) sell the land within the Subdivision. Seller may use any method of marketing to sell, lease or otherwise dispose of Seller's homes, including without limitation the use of incentives, concessions, price reductions, lot sales programs, bulk sales or other promotions and techniques.

11. INSULATION. Insulation is any material primarily used to slow down heat flow and may be mineral or organic, fibrous, cellular, reflective, synthetic or of other makeup. It may be in rigid, semi-rigid, flexible, loose or self-supported forms. Insulation for purposes of 16 CFR §460.16 does not include pipe insulation or any kind of duct insulation except for duct wrap. R-value means the resistance of insulation to heat flow; the higher the R-value, the greater the insulating power. The thickness of any insulation for any product rating or R-value is provided by the applicable insulation manufacturer and may vary from manufacturer to manufacturer and may vary depending on the type of insulation or the method of placement, but the product rating or R- value will be equivalent.

The Insulation Disclosure Addendum provided by Seller identifies the type, thickness and R-value of insulation installed or to be installed in the Home as required by 16 CFR §460.16. Where there is more than one value for each component or location listed in any Insulation Disclosure, the R-value listed will be the predominant value or the value covering the largest area. If any insulation for any component or in any location has a type, R-value or thickness different from that listed in an Insulation Disclosure the Home shall be considered compliant if the total thermal performance of all components and locations provided is equivalent to or exceeds the total thermal performance of all components and locations identified in the Insulation Disclosure.

Seller has not made its own independent determination of the R-value of any insulation and relies solely upon the R-value data provided to it by the applicable insulation manufacturer and/or installer. Seller reserves the right to substitute a different type of insulation, insulation of a different thickness and/or insulation with a different R-value for any component or at any location in the Home from that identified in the Insulation Disclosure, and Seller will provide Buyer with an updated insulation disclosure setting forth the type, thickness, and R-value of the substitute insulation that has been or will be installed for any component or location in the Home as soon as reasonably practical after the information is made available to Seller ("Amended Insulation Disclosure"). The Amended Insulation Disclosure may be in the form of a certificate posted in the Home. Seller may offer different or additional insulation as an On-Site Option or a Home Gallery Selection. If Buyer selects additional or different insulation it may vary from the insulation type, R-value or thickness identified in the Insulation Disclosure, but will later be set forth in an Amended Insulation Disclosure.

12. COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION OF CONSTRUCTION.

12.1 Commencement. Seller retains sole discretion as to the time for the commencement and continuation of construction on the Property, but, subject to Delays (defined below), Seller is obligated to Complete the Home within two years from the date that Buyer executes this Agreement and delivers the executed Agreement to Seller ("Home Completion Deadline"). Seller intends its obligation to complete construction of the Home to comply with the requirements for an exemption set forth in 15 USC §1702(a)(2) of the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act ("ILSA Exemption"). Seller may choose not to commence or continue construction on the Property until Buyer has obtained a Loan Commitment or until Buyer has finalized its Personalization, provided Seller meets the Home Completion Deadline.

12.2 Delays. If Seller is unable to complete construction of the Home by the Home Completion Deadline, Seller shall have such additional time for completion of construction as Seller has been delayed because of acts of God, impossibility for reasons outside of Seller's control, war, civil disorder, acts of terrorism, the failure of Buyer to make timely decisions relating to construction of the Home required by this Agreement and other causes of a similar nature relating to construction of the Home that are outside Seller's control ("Delays") if such causes are recognized as legitimate defenses to contractual obligations ("Contractual Defenses") under the laws of the state and federal jurisdiction where the Property is located and do not render the obligations of Seller illusory. If there is an ambiguity regarding whether or not there are Delays, the ambiguity shall be viewed in a light most favorable to Buyer and imposing an obligation on Seller, it being the intention of Seller and Buyer that the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed in a manner consistent with this Agreement satisfying the ILSA Exemption. Delays are not a default by Seller under this Agreement, and Seller shall not be liable to Buyer in any respect for any damages, losses, liability, claims, costs, or fees, including without limitation attorneys' fees, arising out of or relating to any Delays.

12.3 Completion. The date on which a final certificate of occupancy, a temporary certificate of occupancy, or a final inspection and approval for occupancy is issued by the appropriate governing authority ("Certificate of Occupancy") allowing the Home to be lawfully occupied, shall be deemed the date on which Seller has completed construction for purposes of this Agreement ("Complete" or "Completion"). Buyer acknowledges that, except for the Home Completion Deadline, Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the actual date for Completion and any arrangements made by Buyer for move-in or occupancy of the Home shall be at the sole risk of Buyer.

12.4 Inability to Convey Title. If Seller is unable to convey title, the Closing Date shall be extended up to forty-five days. When Seller is able to convey the title, Seller shall notify Buyer and the parties shall proceed to Closing within five days after such notice is provided to Buyer. If Seller does not obtain the title, Buyer may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller. Upon such termination, if Buyer is not in default, the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer and Seller shall be released from all liability for any damages by reason of its failure to close.

13. BUYER'S ACTIONS BEFORE CLOSING; DAMAGES OR INJURY. Buyer shall be accompanied by an authorized representative of Seller when entering the Property. Buyer assumes all risks and waives all claims against Seller for injury or loss resulting from or in connection with any inspection or entry on the Property by Buyer, Buyer's agents, or Buyer's invitees, and Seller shall not be responsible or liable in any way for any damage or injury to person or property resulting from such inspection or entry. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any liability or loss arising out of or in connection with any such entry. Prior to Closing, Buyer shall not perform any work on or supply any materials to the Property. Buyer shall not issue any instruction to or otherwise interfere with Seller's employees, contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers. Buyer shall not occupy the Property, or deliver any personal possessions including furnishings to the Property prior to Closing.

14. RISK OF LOSS. Seller shall bear the risk of loss, injury or damage to the Property caused by fire or other casualty prior to Closing, except for damage done or caused by Buyer, Buyer's agents, or Buyer's invitees (other than the authorized representatives of Seller), or any individual entering the Property at Buyer's direction, for which Buyer shall be solely responsible. All risk of loss shall pass to Buyer at Closing.

15. NOTICE OF COMPLETION AND GUIDED TOUR ORIENTATION.

15.1 Guided Tour Orientation. Seller shall notify Buyer of Completion of the Home ("Notice of Completion") and schedule a time and date for Buyer and Seller to perform a walk-through inspection of the Property and for Buyer's homeowner orientation ("Guided Tour Orientation"). The purposes of the Guided Tour Orientation are to demonstrate the Home and identify items that are to be addressed. The Guided Tour Orientation is to be performed by Buyer and Seller. An inspection by a third-party, such as a home inspector engaged by Buyer to inspect the Property, may be performed in accordance with the Third-Party Inspection Section of this Agreement.

15.2 Guided Tour Item List. At the Guided Tour Orientation, Buyer and Seller will agree upon those items that need to be completed or corrected because they are not in substantial accordance with the requirements of this Agreement and the expressed standards of the Limited Warranty ("Guided Tour Item List"). Seller shall have no obligation to make repairs or corrections not otherwise required by this Agreement or the Limited Warranty. Execution of the Guided Tour Item List by Buyer shall evidence Buyer's acceptance of the Home subject to the Guided Tour Item List and the Limited Warranty. The existence of Guided Tour Item List items or other non-structural construction imperfections shall not render the Home incomplete, or entitle Buyer to terminate this Agreement, withhold or escrow funds at Closing, or delay the Closing, as long as a Certificate of Occupancy has been issued for the Property. The items in the Guided Tour Item List will be completed or corrected prior to or within a reasonable time after Closing. Following two days' advance notice from Seller, Buyer will provide Seller with access to the Home after Closing during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p. m.) for purposes of completing the Guided Tour Item List and Limited Warranty items. If the Home is Complete and Buyer does not agree to the items to be included in the Guided Tour Item List, Seller, in its sole discretion, may by written notice to Buyer terminate this Agreement or may postpone Closing and seek to resolve the dispute through the mediation and arbitration provisions of this Agreement. IF SELLER TERMINATES THE AGREEMENT UNDER THIS SECTION, THE DEPOSIT AND THE PERSONALIZATION DEPOSIT SHALL BE RETAINED BY SELLER AS LIQUIDATED DAMAGES, AND BOTH PARTIES SHALL BE RELIEVED OF FURTHER OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. If Buyer fails to attend the Guided Tour Orientation, then Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the Property in its "as is" condition at Closing, subject only to the Limited Warranty.

15.3 Post Closing Escrow. If applicable law or Lender requires an escrow for the completion of the outstanding items in the Guided Tour Item List, then Seller may (i) elect to postpone Closing until such items have been corrected, or (ii) create an escrow with the Lender, title insurance company or Closing Agent, and deposit the amount determined by Seller or Lender to represent the reasonable cost, or, if required by applicable law, the fair market value of completing the outstanding items. Lender's election to require an escrow will not modify or alter the definition of Completion as provided in this Agreement.

16. THIRD-PARTY INSPECTION. If Buyer desires to have a third-party inspect the Property before Closing, Buyer shall give Seller the completed "Request for Entry" provided by Seller. Any such inspection shall be scheduled by Seller. Seller may require the third-party to sign an entry permit provided by Seller before entering the Property. Seller's consent to such an inspection may be conditioned upon receipt of evidence that the third-party has licenses and insurance coverage acceptable to Seller. Buyer will provide Seller with a full, correct copy of all reports prepared by the inspector. Buyer agrees that any such inspection is solely for Buyer's own information and that, except as may be required by applicable law, Seller will not be obligated to correct any conditions noted by any third-party requested or directed by Buyer to inspect the Property. The only corrections that will be made will be those listed in the Guided Tour Item List and as required pursuant to the Limited Warranty.

17. BUYER REPRESENTATIONS.

17.1 Occupancy. Buyer represents that it is not purchasing the Home as an investment property and agrees to occupy the Home as Buyer's principal residence or as a second home.

17.2 OFAC. Buyer represents and warrants, under penalty of law, that neither Buyer nor any persons or entities holding any legal or beneficial interest whatsoever in Buyer in the event Buyer is not an individual ("Buyer Parties") are (i) the target of any sanctions program established by Executive Order of the President or published by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury ("OFAC"); (ii) a banned or blocked person pursuant to any law, order, rule or regulation that is enforced or administered by OFAC, including without limitation, the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the Patriot Act, Public Law 107-56, or Executive Order 13224 (September 23, 2001); or (iii) named in List of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons published by OFAC ("SDN List"). Upon execution of this Agreement, Buyer gives Seller and its representatives permission to search the SDN List for inclusion of the name of Buyer and Buyer Parties and to search such other websites and resources as Seller desires in its sole discretion to confirm there are no OFAC-related restrictions or conditions involving Buyer or any of the Buyer parties. Additional personal information may be required in order to determine if Buyer or Buyer parties are included on the SDN List and/or are otherwise subject to OFAC-related restrictions or conditions, and Buyer agrees to provide such additional information within three days after request by Seller. IN THE EVENT THE NAME OF BUYER OR ANY BUYER PARTIES ARE INCLUDED ON THE SDN LIST OR SELLER OTHERWISE REASONABLY DETERMINES OR CANNOT

REASONABLY DETERMINE WHETHER BUYER OR ANY OF THE BUYER PARTIES ARE OR MAY BE SUBJECT TO OFAC-RELATED RESTRICTIONS OR CONDITIONS, OR IF BUYER DOES NOT TIMELY PROVIDE SELLER WITH ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUESTED BY SELLER TO MAKE SUCH DETERMINATION, THEN BUYER SHALL BE IN DEFAULT AND SELLER MAY TERMINATE THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF SECTION 24.1.1.1 BELOW.

18. CLOSING.

18.1 Closing Date. When determined, Seller will give Buyer written notice ("Closing Notice") of the date, and, if applicable, hour and place of Closing at which Seller will deliver title and possession of the Property ("Closing Date"). Buyer shall take all necessary steps to be prepared for Closing on the Closing Date. "Closing" is defined as delivery of title to the Property to Buyer and disbursement of the Total Purchase Price to Seller, subject to closing costs and adjustments. Buyer agrees that until the Closing Notice is provided, any dates discussed for Closing are estimates subject to change and may vary widely.

18.2 Tax Protests. Seller reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to seek tax reductions for the Property for any period prior to the Closing Date, and Buyer shall not be entitled to any refunds resulting from Seller's actions. Buyer assigns to Seller any and all right, title or interest Buyer may have in and to all tax and assessment protest actions and claims to seek tax reductions for the Property, and rights to prosecute same, for any period prior to the Closing Date, and all of Buyer's right, title and interest, if any, in and to all tax and assessment refunds or rebates now or hereafter payable for any period prior to the Closing Date. Buyer, at no cost to itself, agrees to cooperate with Seller by executing all documents requested by Seller or the appropriate governing authority to facilitate Seller's prosecution of tax and assessment protest actions and claims.

18.3 Late Closing Charge. If Buyer fails to close on the Closing Date, Seller may, in its sole discretion, charge Buyer a late charge equal to one and one half percent (1.5%) of the Total Purchase Price for each month, prorated per day after the Closing Date until the date Closing has been completed ("Late Closing Charge"). Seller's decision to charge a Late Closing Charge shall not be construed as a waiver by Seller of any other remedies Seller may have under this Agreement. Buyer agrees to pay the Late Closing Charge at Closing. Any Late Closing Charge shall be paid by Buyer to Seller separately from the Total Purchase Price, and shall be paid by wire transfer, certified funds or a cashier's check.

19. CONVEYANCE.

The surface estate of the Property may be owned separately from the underlying mineral estate, and transfer of the surface estate does not necessarily include transfer of the mineral rights or water rights. Third parties or Seller may hold interests in oil, gas, other minerals, geothermal energy or water on or under the Property, which interests may give them rights to enter and use the Property. Such matters may be excluded from or not covered by the title insurance policy. Buyer is advised to timely consult legal counsel with respect to all such matters. Possession of the Property, including possession of the keys, shall remain exclusively in Seller until the Total Purchase Price has been paid and Closing has been completed. 20. POST CLOSING. 20.1 Utilities. Within three days after the Closing, Buyer agrees to contact all utility providers for the Property and arrange for service to be changed from Seller's name.

Landscaping installed by Seller may not satisfy the Landscaping Requirements. Seller has graded or will grade the lot to drain in general accordance with the grading and drainage plans approved by the applicable governing authority or as depicted in the grading and drainage certificate for the Property. Any change in the surface grades, drainage or surface materials on any portion of the Property, including without limitation the addition of hardscape surfaces or landscaping, or installation of pools or spas can alter surface drainage or groundwater patterns and may result in, at any locations on or below the Property, flooding or ponding, perched, elevated or changed water table, or increased soils moisture. Changes in grading and drainage may adversely affect subsurface or surface conditions and may result in loss or damage to the Property or the property of others and may adversely affect Buyer's coverage under the Limited Warranty. Buyer is advised to retain appropriate professionals to assist with design and installation of landscaping and other improvements. After Closing, Buyer agrees to comply with all homeowners association or planned community Covenants and governmental laws, rules and regulations regarding landscaping and stormwater management. Buyer agrees to maintain existing grading and drainage and existing stormwater and erosion control devices on the Property in good condition.

Buyer can expect certain inconveniences such as construction traffic, noise, dust, debris and congestion until the community is completed. Buyer releases Seller from all responsibility, obligation or liability for the occurrence of such inconveniences. For so long as property is being developed within the community in which the Property is located, Seller may grant and convey easements and rights of way as required by any developers, governmental authorities, utility providers or homeowners or planned community associations, or as Seller in its sole discretion deems necessary for the efficient and orderly development of the community.

If Buyer is in default prior to Closing, Seller may:

24.1.1.1 Terminate this Agreement, IN WHICH CASE THE DEPOSIT, THE PERSONALIZATION DEPOSIT, AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAID BY BUYER TO SELLER SHALL BE PAID TO SELLER AS A REASONABLE ESTIMATE OF SELLER'S DAMAGES AND NOT AS A PENALTY ("LIQUIDATED DAMAGES"). The amount of Liquidated Damages is intended as a reasonable estimation of Seller's actual damages resulting from a breach by Buyer due to the difficulty and uncertainty in ascertaining, as of the date of this Agreement, the actual damages Seller may suffer from such a breach, which damages will include, without limitation, the cost of administering this Agreement and the cost to take the Home off the market while this Agreement remains in effect. Except as otherwise required by the laws, rules and regulations of the state in which the Property is located, if any portion of the Deposit or Personalization Deposit are held in escrow, Closing Agent shall, immediately upon receipt of notice from Seller of Buyer's default and without any further consent required from Buyer, deliver all amounts held in escrow to Seller; or

Seller shall have twenty days from the receipt of such notice to cure the default, except that if the required performance cannot reasonably be completed by Seller within twenty days, then Seller shall have a reasonable time to cure the default and the Closing Date shall be extended for such period of time. No notice or cure period shall be required if Seller has failed to complete the Home by the Home Completion Deadline. If Seller has not cured the default within the time frame provided above, unless the laws, rules and regulations of the state in which the Property is located define Buyer's remedies, Buyer's sole remedy for Seller's default, prior to Closing, shall be to terminate this Agreement, in which event the Deposit and the Personalization Deposit shall be refunded to Buyer. Buyer expressly waives the remedy of specific performance. Following termination by Buyer and the refund by Seller of the Deposit and Personalization Deposit, each party shall be relieved of any further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller fails to Complete the Home by the Home Completion Deadline, provided Buyer is not then in default as to any of Buyer's obligations under this Agreement, Buyer shall have all remedies at law or in equity as a result of such failure of Completion.

It is the parties' expressed intent that the parties' rights and obligations under this Agreement be construed in the manner necessary to exempt and exclude this Agreement and the sale of the Property from registration under the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, and both parties expressly waive any right or provision of this Agreement that would otherwise preclude such exemption or exception.

24.2.2 If, after Closing, Seller fails to comply substantially with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and if Buyer has complied with all of Buyer's obligations hereunder, Buyer may deliver to Seller a written notice detailing the default of Seller. Seller shall have twenty days from the receipt of such notice to cure the default, except that if the required performance cannot reasonably be completed by Seller within twenty days, then Seller shall have a reasonable time to cure the default.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no notice of default shall be sent by electronic mail. Any name or address for notice may be changed by notice given to the other party in accordance with this Section. The inability to deliver a notice because of a changed address of which no notice was given, or the rejection or other refusal to accept any notice, shall be deemed to be the receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver or rejection or refusal to accept.

Title insurance rates vary greatly from state to state and, in some states, by county. American Home Title's customary premium charge for a simultaneously issued standard lender's policy ranges from $50 to $2,050, depending on the county or state within which the property is located and the amount of the insured loan. A standard lender's policy does not include endorsements for mechanic's liens, environmental liens, planned unit development matters, or similar comprehensive coverage that may be requested by the lender. These endorsements may require the payment of additional premiums, which range from $20 to $250 per endorsement, depending on the applicable state or county where the property is located and the specific endorsement requested. Standard owner's title insurance premiums range from a minimum of $200 for a policy coverage amount of $5,000 to a maximum of $5,075 for a policy coverage amount of $1,000,000, depending on the applicable state where the insured property is located. Other premiums or fees paid directly to American Home Title range from $20 to $250, depending on the services performed, the county or state where the property is located, and/or the endorsement or coverage requested. Additional charges may result if coverage beyond a standard policy is requested by Buyer or Lender. All rates and fees, including requested endorsements, policy enhancements and available discounts, will be issued in accordance with the underwriter's rate filing on file with the applicable state division of insurance or as promulgated by the applicable state regulatory agency. A copy of the applicable state or county rate is available for review at the office of American Home Title. A schedule of rates is available upon request.

SALES ASSOCIATE: Paul Martin PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATE: 11/26/2022

This is an Addendum to and forms a part of the Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Seller which relates to the Property. If this Addendum conflicts with, varies from or modifies the Purchase Agreement, this Addendum shall control. If the terms contained in the document that conveys the Property from Seller to Buyer ("Deed") conflicts with, varies from or modifies the Purchase Agreement or this Addendum, the terms of the Deed shall control. Subject to the foregoing, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement are republished and reaffirmed. Any capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the meaning given in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise provided in this Addendum.

NOTICE: BY INITIALING THE SPACE BELOW AND EXECUTING THIS ADDENDUM, BUYER AND SELLER AGREE AND UNDERSTAND THEY ARE EACH GIVING UP ANY RIGHTS TO HAVE A "DISPUTE" (AS DEFINED IN THIS ADDENDUM) LITIGATED IN A COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR A JURY. BUYER ALSO AGREES THAT BUYER SHALL NOT COMMENCE OR PARTICIPATE IN ANY CLASS ACTION RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE. EXECUTION OF THIS ADDENDUM AGREEING TO MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION IS VOLUNTARY.

WE HAVE READ AND UNDERSTAND THE FOREGOING AND AGREE TO SUBMIT DISPUTES TO MEDIATION, AND IF NOT RESOLVED, TO ARBITRATION.

BUYER'S INITIALS: #B1.IN.R# #B2.IN.R# #B3.IN.R# SELLER'S INITIALS: #AR.IN.R#

1. Dispute. For purposes of this Addendum "Dispute" shall mean and include, without limitation, any and all controversies, disputes or claims arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with the Property, the Purchase Agreement, or any resulting transaction, including without limitation claims relating to construction defects arising under or pursuant to state statutes relating to construction defects; personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer's family, other occupants of the Property, and/or invitees to the Property; or any other circumstances relating to, of, or concerning the Property. 2. Mediation. Buyer agrees to personally and individually (i.e. without serving as a class representative for others, or becoming a member of a class action commenced by others, with respect to the Dispute) mediate any Dispute with Seller before resorting to arbitration. Any mediation shall be in the State in which the Property is located. 2.1 Mediation is a process in which the parties attempt to resolve a Dispute by discussing the Dispute in the presence of an impartial, neutral third party authorized by the parties to facilitate the resolution of the Dispute ("Mediator"). The Mediator is not empowered to impose a settlement on the parties. The parties shall agree upon a Mediator within 30 days of written notice of a Dispute delivered by one party to the other. Delivery of a notice of Dispute shall be in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement. If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of a Mediator within such time period, the parties shall request JAMS, Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. or another mutually acceptable dispute resolution service provider (as selected, the "ADR Provider") to appoint a Mediator to conduct the mediation. 2.2 All mediation fees, costs and expenses shall be divided equally among the parties; provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible for the first four (4) hours of the Mediator's time. Before the mediation begins and consistent with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, the parties shall agree in writing to limit the admissibility in

Revised: 04/02/2020 11/26/2022 -16:26 PM DocuSign Envelope ID: E9DBDEF1-3A82-48B3-8F31-DE016DEFAB88

any arbitration or court action of anything said, any admission made, and any documents prepared in the course of the mediation. 2.3 If any party commences an arbitration or court proceeding based on a Dispute without first attempting to resolve the matter through mediation, the other party shall have the right, at any time, to cause such proceeding to be dismissed or set aside, and the commencing party shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees incurred by such party to have such proceeding set aside or dismissed or stayed.

3. Arbitration of Disputes. The parties agree that this transaction involves interstate commerce and that any Dispute not settled during mediation shall be governed procedurally, resolved, enforced, compelled, stayed, and confirmed by binding arbitration as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) (the "FAA"). Such arbitration shall be conducted by the ADR Provider selected by the parties, which ADR Provider may be different than the ADR Provider that conducted the mediation, and such Dispute shall not be resolved by or in a court of law or equity. Buyer agrees to personally and individually (i.e. without serving as a class representative for others, or becoming a member of a class action commenced by others, with respect to the Dispute) arbitrate such Dispute. A written notice of the intent to arbitrate such Dispute shall be delivered by the party desiring to arbitrate such Dispute to the other party within 30 days after the conclusion of the mediation, and otherwise in accordance with the notice provisions in the Purchase Agreement. Any arbitration shall be in the State in which the Property is located.

3.1 Except as may otherwise be expressly stated in the Deed, unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the rules specified by the ADR Provider (the "Rules"), but which Rules must include, and it is the express intent of Buyer and Seller that each shall be bound by, the following: 3.1.1 The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties with at least 10 years of experience in the subject matter of the Dispute who may be, without limitation, an attorney licensed to practice law in the State in which the Property is located with experience in real estate or construction law, or an expert in the construction industry ("Arbitrator").

If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of an Arbitrator, the Arbitrator shall be selected by the Chief Judge of the judicial district in which the Property is located, or shall otherwise be selected in the manner provided by applicable law and/or custom, and shall meet the foregoing criteria. An Arbitrator shall be selected within the shortest possible period after delivery of the written notice of intent to arbitrate the Dispute. Any fees due to the ADR Provider in connection with such selection process shall be split equally by the Buyer and Seller. If the amount claimed with respect to the Dispute exceeds $1,000,000, the arbitration shall be heard and determined by three Arbitrators, unless the parties agree on a single Arbitrator. If three Arbitrators are to hear the Dispute, Buyer and Seller shall each select an Arbitrator of their choice and those two Arbitrators shall agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator. 3.1.2 The Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of the Purchase Agreement or any addenda or amendment is void or voidable. The Arbitrator's authority is limited to resolution of the Dispute, and other claims may not be joined or consolidated with the Dispute unless agreed to in writing by all parties. In any such proceedings, the Arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State in which the Property is located, saving and excepting any laws regarding arbitration procedure and its enforcement, including, but not limited to, compelling arbitration, staying arbitration, enforcement/confirmation of arbitration awards, and review/appeal of arbitration rulings, which shall remain governed by the provisions of the FAA. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to provide all recognized remedies available at law for any cause of action, except injunctive relief or specific performance. The Arbitrator shall make a determination of the Dispute after completion of the arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that the Arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding.

Alternative Dispute Resolution Addendum A Deed of Conveyance

This is an Addendum to and forms part of the document that conveys title to the property from Grantor to Grantee (the "Deed"). Grantor is also referred to herein as Seller and Grantee is also referred to herein as Buyer.

1. Dispute. For purposes of this Addendum "Dispute" shall mean and include, without limitation, any and all controversies, disputes or claims arising out of, related to, or in any way connected with the Property, the purchase agreement, or any resulting transaction, including without limitation claims relating to construction defects arising under or pursuant to state statutes relating to construction defects; personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer's family, other occupants of the Property, and/or invitees to the Property; or any other circumstances relating to, of, or concerning the Property.

2. Mediation. Buyer agrees to personally and individually (i.e. without serving as a class representative for others, or becoming a member of a class action commenced by others, with respect to the Dispute) mediate any Dispute with Seller before resorting to arbitration. Any mediation shall be in the State in which the Property is located.

2.1 Mediation is a process in which the parties attempt to resolve a Dispute by discussing the Dispute in the presence of an impartial, neutral third party authorized by the parties to facilitate the resolution of the Dispute ("Mediator"). The Mediator is not empowered to impose a settlement on the parties. The parties shall agree upon a Mediator within 30 days of written notice of a Dispute delivered by one party to the other. Delivery of a notice of Dispute shall be in accordance with the notice provisions of the Purchase Agreement. If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of a Mediator within such time period, the parties shall request JAMS, Judicial Arbiter Group, Inc. or another mutually acceptable dispute resolution service provider (as selected, the "ADR Provider") to appoint a Mediator to conduct the mediation.

2.2 All mediation fees, costs and expenses shall be divided equally among the parties; provided, however, that Seller shall be responsible for the first four (4) hours of the Mediator's time. Before the mediation begins and consistent with the laws of the State in which the Property is located, the parties shall agree in writing to limit the admissibility in any arbitration or court action of anything said, any admission made, and any documents prepared in the course of the mediation.

2.3 If any party commences an arbitration or court proceeding based on a Dispute without first attempting to resolve the matter through mediation, the other party shall have the right, at any time, to cause such proceeding to be dismissed or set aside, and the commencing party shall pay all costs, expenses and reasonable attorney fees incurred by such party to have such proceeding set aside or dismissed or stayed.

3. Arbitration of Disputes. The parties agree that this transaction involves interstate commerce and that any Dispute not settled during mediation shall be governed procedurally, resolved, enforced, compelled, stayed, and confirmed by binding arbitration as provided in the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) (the "FAA"). Such arbitration shall be conducted by the ADR Provider selected by the parties, which ADR Provider may be different than the ADR Provider that conducted the mediation, and such Dispute shall not be resolved by or in a court of law or equity. Buyer agrees to personally and individually (i.e. without serving as a class representative for others, or becoming a member of a class action commenced by others, with respect to the Dispute) arbitrate such Dispute. A written notice of the intent to arbitrate such Dispute shall be delivered by the party desiring to arbitrate such Dispute to the other party within 30 days after the conclusion of the mediation, and otherwise in accordance with the notice provisions in the Purchase Agreement. Any arbitration shall be in the State in which the Property is located.

3.1 Except as may otherwise be expressly stated in the Deed, unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitration shall be conducted generally in accordance with the rules specified by the ADR Provider (the "Rules"), but which Rules must include, and it is the express intent of Buyer and Seller that each shall be bound by, the following:

Revised: 04/02/2020 11/26/2022 -16:26 PM DocuSign Envelope ID: E9DBDEF1-3A82-48B3-8F31-DE016DEFAB88

3.1.1 The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator agreed upon by the parties with at least 10 years of experience in the subject matter of the Dispute who may be, without limitation, an attorney licensed to practice law in the State in which the Property is located with experience in real estate or construction law, or an expert in the construction industry ("Arbitrator"). If the parties cannot agree upon the selection of an Arbitrator, the Arbitrator shall be selected by the Chief Judge of the judicial district in which the Property is located, or shall otherwise be selected in the manner provided by applicable law and/or custom, and shall meet the foregoing criteria. An Arbitrator shall be selected within the shortest possible period after delivery of the written notice of intent to arbitrate the Dispute. Any fees due to the ADR Provider in connection with such selection process shall be split equally by the Buyer and Seller. If the amount claimed with respect to the Dispute exceeds $1,000,000, the arbitration shall be heard and determined by three Arbitrators, unless the parties agree on a single Arbitrator. If three Arbitrators are to hear the Dispute, Buyer and Seller shall each select an Arbitrator of their choice and those two Arbitrators shall agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator.

3.1.2 The Arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of the purchase agreement or any addenda or amendment is void or voidable. The Arbitrator's authority is limited to resolution of the Dispute, and other claims may not be joined or consolidated with the Dispute unless agreed to in writing by all parties. In any such proceedings, the Arbitrator shall apply the substantive law of the State in which the Property is located, saving and excepting any laws regarding arbitration procedure and its enforcement, including, but not limited to, compelling arbitration, staying arbitration, enforcement/confirmation of arbitration awards, and review/appeal of arbitration rulings, which shall remain governed by the provisions of the FAA. The Arbitrator shall be authorized to provide all recognized remedies available at law for any cause of action, except injunctive relief or specific performance. The Arbitrator shall make a determination of the Dispute after completion of the arbitration proceeding. The parties agree that the Arbitrator's decision shall be final and binding. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect with respect to any issue or claim in any subsequent arbitration or court action, except among the parties to the arbitration.

3.1.3 Judgment upon the award rendered by the Arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The forum for enforcement or any related review of any award or decision rendered by the Arbitrator shall be the United States District Court in which the Property is located.

3.2 IN THE EVENT THAT ARBITRATION FAILS FOR ANY PURPOSE, THE PARTIES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVE, RELINQUISH AND FOREVER FORGO THE RIGHT TO TRY ANY SUCH DISPUTE BEFORE A JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE PROPERTY SOLD HEREBY OR ANY CONDUCT, ACT OR OMISSION OF SELLER, OR ANY OF ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR ATTORNEYS, OR ANY OTHER PERSONS AFFILIATED WITH SELLER AND SUCH DISPUTES SHALL BE RESOLVED IN THAT EVENT ONLY IN A TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE IN A COURT OF APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

3.3 ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER SHALL NOT BE PROSECUTED BY OR IN THE NAME OF A HOMEOWNER'S OR PLANNED COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY AND SUCH RIGHT OR CLAIM MAY ONLY BE PROSECUTED IN THE NAME OF THE OWNER OF THE PROPERTY. BUYER COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT IT SHALL NOT PARTICIPATE IN NOR ALLOW A HOMEOWNER'S OR PLANNED COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION OR ANY OTHER THIRD PARTY TO PURSUE, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, ANY CLAIM OR RIGHT ON BEHALF OF A BUYER, BY ASSIGNMENT OR OTHERWISE.

4. Severability/Additional Parties. The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Addendum shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Addendum. Buyer and Seller agree: (a) any Dispute involving Seller's affiliates, directors, officers, employees, subcontractors, design professionals, and/or agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as described in this Addendum, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; and (b) Seller may, at its sole election join and include Seller's contractors, subcontractors, design professionals and/or suppliers, as well as any warranty company, insurer or other

This is an Addendum to and forms a part of the Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Seller which relates to the Property. If this Addendum conflicts with, varies from or modifies the Purchase Agreement, the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Addendum shall govern and control the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller. In all other respects, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement are republished and reaffirmed. Any capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the meaning given in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise provided in this Addendum.

I. Introduction

Residential construction involves the use of materials, supplies, goods and products (collectively, "Materials") which contain, use or produce by-products, formaldehyde, volatile organic compounds, chemicals, materials, particulates and other substances that are known to be or may later become known to be hazardous. These Materials may be under enough pressure naturally or otherwise composed of compounds and chemicals which result in emissions into the living environment ("Emissions"). These Materials include, without limitation, adhesives, appliances, including combustion appliances, cabinets, countertops, flooring and floor coverings including carpeting, insulations, paints and finishes, plywood, oriented strand board (OSB) and particleboard, roofing and roof coverings, and sealants. Emissions from Materials and from personal goods and cleaning products are always present in the Home and on the Property. Currently, energy conservation concerns and energy standards have resulted in tighter homes which trap Emissions in large quantities. The sources, pathways, types, amounts and/or concentrations of Emissions will vary depending not just on the Materials used (or selected by Buyer) but also on personal habits, practices and lifestyles.

The information described in this Indoor Air Quality Disclosure has been obtained from various third party sources, including governmental agencies and consultants. Because of constant new developments on the subject of Indoor Air Quality, Seller cannot guarantee the continuing accuracy or completeness of the information that Seller is providing to Buyer and Buyer should independently verify and seek additional information regarding any matter of concern relating to Indoor Air Quality.

II. Health Risks of Emissions

Since Emissions are everywhere in our environment, everyone is exposed to emissions. Emissions can exist in any type of building, including homes, offices and schools. Buyer should be aware that Emissions may cause allergic reactions or affect health. Emissions can negatively affect indoor air quality and/or impact health and well being, including, without limitation, triggering attacks in people with asthma, causing or increasing allergies, eye, nose and throat irritation, headaches, nausea, damage to liver, kidney, and central nervous systems and cancer in humans.

III. Reduction of Emissions

Inadequate ventilation and high temperature and humidity levels increase Emissions. Buyer is responsible for indoor air quality management, including without limitation proper and routine ventilation of the Home to reduce Emissions. Seller recommends, as a minimum, regular airing of the Home by simply opening windows. Different ventilation, including whole house and/or spot ventilation, filtration, humidification, dehumidification and/or treatment devices and/or methods exist and may be helpful to improve indoor air quality and/or reduce, control or mitigate exposure to or from Emissions to varying degrees and should be explored by Buyer.

Seller does not have the technical expertise to ascertain or advise Buyer of the presence or significance of Emissions in the Home or on the Property whether or not Seller offers or may offer Materials with differing potentials for Emissions or any ventilation, filtration or treatment device and/or method. Buyer understands that Seller cannot design, build and sell a home free of Emissions, nor can Seller be responsible for any related health problems experienced by Buyer or other persons occupying the Home. Buyer acknowledges that prior to entering into the Agreement, Buyer has had the opportunity to satisfy itself with respect to the extent of or potential for existence of Emissions and the quality of indoor air which may be contained in the Home, potential or actual risks and harm, and potential remedial methods at the Property, and Buyer releases Seller from any and all existing or future claims, costs, expenses or liability in any way relating to such Emissions.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF HOMEOWNER RESPONSIBILITIES

By signing the Purchase Agreement, Buyer acknowledges receipt and understanding of this Indoor Environmental Quality Disclosure and Buyer agrees to comply with the provisions of this disclosure.

I. Introduction

Most people are familiar with mold in at least some capacity, such as mold growth on food, mold growth in the bathroom (for example, in the shower, on the drywall, on ceiling tiles) and in other areas of the home (for example, on the windowsills). Seller has prepared this Mold Disclosure to provide Buyer with some additional information about mold to ensure that Buyer understands its responsibilities in the inhibition or prevention of mold growth in the Home.

The information described in this Mold Disclosure has been obtained from various third party sources, including governmental agencies and consultants. Because of constant new developments on the subject of mold, Seller cannot guarantee the continuing accuracy or completeness of the information that Seller is providing to Buyer and Buyer should independently verify and seek additional information regarding any matter of concern relating to mold, health risks associated with mold, and mold prevention or cleanup.

II. What is mold and where does it come from?

Mold is a type of fungus. It occurs naturally in the environment, and it is necessary for the natural decomposition of plant and other organic material. There are numerous types of mold found in our environment. Mold spreads by means of microscopic spores borne on the wind, and is found everywhere life can be supported. RESIDENTIAL HOME CONSTRUCTION IS NOT, AND CANNOT BE, DESIGNED OR BUILT TO EXCLUDE MOLD FROM A HOME. Mold spores may enter the Home through open doorways, windows, and heating ventilation and air conditioning systems. Spores in the air outside also attach themselves to people and animals, making clothes, shoes and pets convenient vehicles for carrying mold spores indoors.

Mold naturally grows in indoor environments. In order to grow, mold spores require a food source and moisture. The food source can be supplied by decorative items, such as fabric, carpet or wallpaper, or by building materials, such as drywall, wood, and insulation, to name a few. When mold spores land on places where there is sufficient moisture, mold will begin to grow within a period of 24 to 48 hours.

Moisture in the Home comes from many sources, such as spills, leaks, overflows, condensation, broken seals around doors and windows, and damp conditions in crawl spaces. Excessive landscape watering and high humidity are common sources of home moisture. Good housekeeping and home maintenance practices are essential in the effort to inhibit mold growth. See "Prevention of Mold Growth: Homeowner Responsibilities" section below. Eliminating excessive moisture may slow or limit mold growth.

III. Health Risks of Mold

Since molds are found virtually everywhere in our environment, everyone is exposed to molds. Although the vast majority of molds are not known to cause health problems,

MOLD ADDENDUM

Revised - 7/8/2013 11/26/2022 -16:26 PM DocuSign Envelope ID: E9DBDEF1-3A82-48B3-8F31-DE016DEFAB88

some molds have the potential to cause adverse health effects. Whether or not a person exposed to mold is at risk for adverse health conditions generally depends upon the susceptibility of the person exposed (including age, environmental factors such as stress and health factors such as existing sensitivities to allergies, underlying lung disease and suppressed immune systems), the amount of exposure and the type of mold. Experts disagree about the level of mold exposure that may cause health problems, and about the exact nature and extent of the health problems that may be caused by mold. Common health concerns associated with molds include hay fever-like allergic symptoms similar to those caused by plant pollen and animal dander (for example, fatigue, headaches, respiratory ailments, aggravation of asthma, nasal stuffiness or runny nose, cough, congestion, eye, nose, throat and skin irritation). Less frequent but more severe health concerns which may be linked to mold exposure include, but are not limited to, chronic fatigue, central nervous system problems, lung disease and immune suppression. Research on mold and its health effects is on-going. Naturally, common sense dictates that Buyer should consult a physician regarding any symptoms of concern to Buyer.

IV. Inhibition/Prevention of Mold Growth: Homeowner Responsibilities

Currently there are no federal, state or local standards that establish permissible limits for exposure to mold. Since microscopic mold spores exist everywhere naturally in our environment, mold cannot be prevented or removed entirely. Since it is impossible for a home to be entirely free of mold spores, and since mold can grow on almost anything, the only way to inhibit mold growth is to eliminate excessive moisture in the home. All visible mold should be removed immediately. See "Mold Cleanup" section below.

Homeowners must take positive steps to eliminate excessive moisture in the Home, and thereby inhibit mold growth and any possible adverse effects that may be caused by mold growth. Homeowner's responsibilities for the inhibition of mold growth include, but are not limited to, the following:

Don't Bring Mold Home: Before bringing items into the Home, check for signs of mold. Potted plants (roots and soil), furnishings, or stored clothing and bedding material, as well as many other household goods, could already contain mold growth.

Keep it Clean: Regular and thorough vacuuming and cleaning will help reduce mold levels. Mild cleaning solutions are generally effective in eliminating or inhibiting mold growth. After cleaning carpets, make sure that the carpets are completely dry before replacing furniture. Don't close closet doors or otherwise enclose spaces until the carpets have completely dried out.

Reduce Humidity: Keep the humidity (water vapor in the air) in the home low. One of the worst things one can do is use a humidifier because they add uncontrolled amounts of moisture to the air. Vent clothes dryers to the outdoors. Ventilate kitchens and bathrooms by opening the windows, using exhaust fans, and running the air conditioning to remove excess moisture in the air, and to facilitate evaporation of water from wet surfaces. Moisture sources that increase indoor air humidity include, but are not limited to, steam from showers, baths, cooking, indoor plants, washing dishes, washing clothes, and hanging wet clothes on indoor drying lines. Periodically ventilate enclosed spaces such as closets.

Promptly Correct Leaks, Moisture and Water Damage: Since mold will generally only grow in areas that have been exposed to moisture for more than 24 hours, it is important for Buyer to repair water leaks immediately or upon discovery. Thoroughly dry any wet surfaces or material. Do not let water pool or stand in the Home. Promptly replace any materials that cannot be thoroughly dried, such as drywall or insulation. Landscape so that the original grade of the Property is not disturbed and the ground slopes away from the Home to prevent water from collecting under the Home. Keep sprinklers and other sources of water from spraying on the walls of the Home. Also promptly clean up spills, condensation and other sources of moisture.

Maintenance Is a Must: It is very important that Buyer regularly maintain the Home. For example, regularly caulk the windows, faucets, drains, tub and showers. Maintain roofs and clean gutters and keep both in good repair. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems should have their filters replaced on a regular basis as called for in their maintenance manuals. Maintain a positive grade around the Home, so that surface water

and sprinkler water drains away from the Home. If the Home has a sump pump, make sure it is operating properly.

Vigilance is Vital: Buyer must perform routine visual inspections for mold growth and signs of leaks, moisture or water damage. Moldy or musty odors are also a reliable indicator of the presence of mold. Inspect for signs of mold, moisture, leaks and spills on a regular basis and eliminate the source of the water immediately. Look for discoloration or wet spots on ceilings, walls, floors, and windowsills. Inspect condensation pans (refrigerators and air conditioners) for mold growth. Do not let water stand in air conditioning or refrigerator drip pans. Look around and under sinks for standing water, water stains or mold. Take notice of musty odors and any visible signs of mold.

If mold is found, it must be removed and the source of the water must be eliminated immediately. The measures taken to initiate the cleanup process are dependent on the extent of the problem. In many cases, mold can be removed by a thorough cleaning with a mild cleaning solution. If there is an extensive amount of mold, there are professional cleaning and property restoration services experienced in cleaning mold, as many items can be completely cleaned of mold. Care must be taken to ensure that safe cleanup methods are employed. Any item that cannot be completely cleaned of mold should be discarded after checking with the cleaning professional to ensure that there is no other way to clean the item.

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND ACCEPTANCE OF HOMEOWNER RESPONSIBILITIES

By signing the Purchase Agreement, Buyer acknowledges receipt and understanding of this Mold Disclosure and Buyer agrees to comply with the provisions of this Mold Disclosure, specifically, the "Prevention of Mold Growth: Homeowner Responsibility" and "Mold Cleanup" sections.

SALES ASSOCIATE: Paul Martin PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATE: 11/26/2022

This is an Addendum to and forms a part of the Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Seller which relates to the Property. If this Addendum conflicts with, varies from or modifies the Purchase Agreement, the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Addendum shall govern and control the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller. In all other respects, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement are republished and reaffirmed. Any capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the meaning given in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise provided in this Addendum.

I. Introduction

Many people live in parts of the country with elevated natural levels of radon. Radon is a radioactive gas that comes from the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water and gets into the air you breathe. Radon has been found in homes all over the United States. Seller has prepared this Addendum to provide Buyer with some information about radon to help Buyer understand what Seller is doing to address radon in its homes, and so that Buyer understands its responsibilities with respect to radon in the home.

The information described in this Addendum has been obtained from various third-party sources, including governmental agencies. Because of changing developments on the subject of radon, Seller cannot guarantee the continuing accuracy or completeness of the information that Seller is providing to Buyer and Buyer should independently verify and seek additional information regarding any matter of concern relating to radon, health risks associated with radon, and radon mitigation and remediation.

II. What is radon and where does it come from?

Radon is an odorless, tasteless and invisible gas that occurs naturally in the environment. Radon typically moves up through the ground to the air above and can move into your home through cracks or other holes in the foundation. It can get into any type of building - homes, offices and schools - and result in a high indoor radon level. RESIDENTIAL HOME CONSTRUCTION IS NOT, AND CANNOT BE, DESIGNED OR BUILT TO EXCLUDE RADON FROM A HOME. Any home can have elevated levels of radon. This includes new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.

The Indoor Radon Abatement Act of 1988 directed the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to list and identify areas of the U.S. with the potential for elevated indoor radon levels. The EPA has assigned to each county in the U.S. one of three zones based on radon potential on the EPA Map of Radon Zones (EPA-R-93-071). Zone 1 indicates the highest radon potential, Zone 2 has been assigned a lower potential for elevated levels by the EPA, and Zone 3 has been designated as having the lowest potential for elevated radon levels. Nonetheless, individual homes in Zones 1, 2 or 3 may have elevated levels of radon.

III. Health Risks of Radon

Experts disagree about the level of radon exposure that may cause health risks. The EPA warns that long-term exposure to elevated levels can damage lung tissue and could possibly lead to lung cancer over the course of a lifetime. Although there is uncertainty and disagreement in the scientific community about the magnitude of radon health risks, the EPA has advised that long-term exposure to elevated levels of residential radon may lead to lung cancer. The EPA has also advised that any health risk associated with exposure to radon is more serious for smokers.

RADON PROGRAM ADDENDUM

Revised, 03/11/2020 11/26/2022 -16:26 PM DocuSign Envelope ID: E9DBDEF1-3A82-48B3-8F31-DE016DEFAB88

The EPA recommends that all homes be tested for radon, whether the home contains a radon control system or not. Testing is recommended by the EPA as a way to estimate your home's radon levels. The EPA recommends (but does not require) that active radon control systems be installed in all homes in which long-term radon test results indicate radon levels of 4 picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) or greater. However, the EPA believes that even levels below 4 pCi/L pose some risk and that nearly one out of every 15 homes in the United States is estimated to have a radon level in excess of 4 pCi/L. Radon is measured in picoCuries per liter of air.

IV. Richmond American's Program

Radon Control System Installed. Seller will install, at its cost, an active radon control system in new homes in those areas identified on the EPA Map of Radon Zones (or on an equivalent published state map prepared for same purpose) as being in Zone 1 (high) at the time of application for a building permit.

This Property is in Zone 1: Yes #SA.CB. # No X37 #SA.CB. #

By this program, Seller generally seeks to support the reduction of residential radon levels to below the EPA's suggested action level of 4 pCi/L on an annual average basis. In homes that have an active radon control system provided by Seller, Seller will confirm via testing of its own choosing that the average radon levels are below 4 pCi/L. Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such testing prior to Closing, however, Seller cannot guaranty that the testing will be completed, or that the results will be available before Closing. If the results are not available before Closing, Seller will deliver the results to Buyer as soon as reasonably practicable after Closing. If Seller has not performed the testing prior to Closing, Buyer agrees i) to allow Seller to perform the testing, at Seller's expense, within a reasonable period of time after Closing, or ii) Buyer may elect to extend the Closing Date in order to allow Seller to provide the testing before Closing. If the results are not available prior to Closing for any reason, Buyer may elect to extend the Closing Date in order to allow Seller to provide results before Closing. If Buyer elects to extend the Closing Date, Buyer must notify Seller in writing on or before the Closing Date. All costs and expenses of extending the Closing Date, including, without limitation, alternate housing, moving expenses, interest costs or other similar costs are the sole responsibility of Buyer. If the test results are at or exceed 4 pCi/L, Seller will repair or replace the radon control system at Seller's option and expense.

Within 90 calendar days after Closing, Seller will provide to Buyers of new homes with an active radon control system, at Buyer's written request, a long-term radon test kit from a nationally certified laboratory to test for long-term radon levels in the home. This kit will be provided to Buyer at Seller's expense. If Buyer requests a kit and follows the instructions that come with it, and if the long-term test results are at or exceed 4 pCi/L, Seller will repair or replace the active radon control system at Seller's option and expense. Buyer must advise Seller, in writing, of the long-term test results and request repair or replacement of the active radon control system within one year of Closing. Seller will, at its cost, subsequently re-test the home via testing of its own choosing to confirm that the radon levels are below 4 pCi/L. Failure to provide written notice within one year of Closing of a long-term reading at or in excess of 4 pCi/L will waive the right to seek repair or replacement of the active radon control system from Seller.

To enable Seller to conduct the tests described in this Addendum, Buyer will provide access to Seller and its agents at mutually convenient times and will fully cooperate with Seller in completing the testing.

Reimbursement Program. In homes in areas identified on the EPA Map of Radon Zones 2 (moderate) or 3 (low) at the time of application for a building permit where no active radon control system has been installed, if at any time within six months after Closing, Buyer elects to conduct long-term testing of the Property, and if the long-term test results demonstrate radon readings at or in excess of 4 pCi/L, Buyer can request reimbursement from Seller for installation of an active radon control system for an amount not to exceed $1000. If Buyer chooses to participate in this program, Buyer must notify Seller in writing of the long-term test results and Seller reserves the right, at its expense, to obtain a confirmatory short-term test conducted by an independent or governmentally certified third-party radon measurement professional. If the results of

Revised, 03/11/2020 11/26/2022 -16:26 PM DocuSign Envelope ID: E9DBDEF1-3A82-48B3-8F31-DE016DEFAB88

this confirmatory test are at or above 4 pCi/L, Buyer may elect to hire a qualified radon mitigation or remediation professional to reduce the amount of radon gas present in the home. Such work shall be completed within 30 days after the date on which Seller notifies Buyer of the results of the confirmatory test. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to Seller of payment by Buyer of the cost of such mitigation or remediation, Seller shall reimburse Buyer for the cost of such mitigation or remediation, which reimbursement shall not exceed $1,000. If Buyer performs pre-Closing testing and elects to have work performed to reduce the amount of radon gas present in the home, Seller will reimburse Buyer under the terms set forth above provided that the Buyer submits satisfactory evidence of remediation and evidence of payment to Seller no later than six months after Closing. Payment to Buyer of the reimbursement amount described herein will fully satisfy Seller's obligations to Buyer relating to radon. Failure to provide a written request for reimbursement (including evidence of testing and completed remediation) within six months of Closing will waive Buyer's right to reimbursement.

Lowering radon levels in a home requires technical knowledge and special skills. Active radon control systems have been designed to reduce radon levels in residences and these systems can be effective. However, Seller is not qualified to evaluate and has not undertaken to evaluate all the benefits or detriments associated with radon- resistant construction or radon control systems. Where Seller has installed an active radon control system, Seller has utilized techniques recognized by the EPA and the American Society for Testing and Materials in the design of these systems.

Seller is relying on published information from the EPA and the states in which Seller builds to determine the potential for elevated levels of radon in various parts of the country. SELLER MAKES NO ASSURANCES, REPRESENTATIONS, OR WARRANTIES AS TO WHETHER THERE IS ANY HAZARDOUS OR REGULATED MATERIAL ON THE PROPERTY. WHERE SELLER HAS PERFORMED RADON TESTING, SELLER MAKES NO ASSURANCES, REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT THE RADON LEVELS IN THE HOME AT OR PRIOR TO CLOSING ACCURATELY REFLECT THE LONG-TERM LEVELS OF RADON IN THE HOME. Seller advises Buyer, at Buyer's expense, to further investigate, as Buyer deems appropriate, the presence, absence, or level of radon or potential for radon in the home or in the soil beneath or adjacent to the home. Seller does not represent or warrant that achievement of results of short or long-term testing below 4 pCi/L provides any health benefit and does not provide any assurances that radon levels in the home will remain at or below any previously-tested levels. Radon readings may vary significantly regardless of the presence of absence of a radon control system and Seller recommends that Buyers periodically test their homes as advised by the EPA. Seller does not represent or warrant that an active radon control system will significantly reduce natural radon levels in the home. Seller provides no express or implied warranty with respect to the system. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from the EPA or Buyer's state and/or county radon office or health department(s).

Buyer's sole right and remedy for test results that are at or exceed 4 pCi/L shall be Seller's repair or replacement of the installation of the Seller-provided active radon control system or reimbursement of an amount not to exceed $1000 for installation of an active radon control system where not provided by Seller. Achievement of a reading below 4 pCi/L via testing of Seller's own choosing after repair or replacement of the installation of the Seller-provided active radon control system or reimbursement of an amount not to exceed $1000 for the installation of an active radon control system will fully satisfy Seller's obligations to Buyer relating to radon.

V. Homeowner Responsibilities

As with other systems in the home, radon control systems require periodic inspection, maintenance, repair, and/or replacement. The proper operation of these systems is the sole responsibility of the Buyer. Homeowners must be vigilant in ensuring that their active radon control system is operational and is functioning. Homeowners should review the information provided to them about their radon control system and should inspect the system and understand how it works. Buyer also bears the responsibility for conveying this information to future buyers of the Property.

Seller encourages Buyer to periodically retest the home for radon, as recommended by

the EPA. For instance, the EPA recommends that homeowners retest their homes for radon after they are renovated, or if homeowners plan to use a lower level of the home than the level that was tested. The EPA recommends retesting a home every two years in all cases regardless of whether a radon control system is installed. Buyer may obtain a copy of the EPA publication, Home Buyer's and Seller Guide to Radon at http://www. epa.gov/radon/pubs/hmbyguid.html.

This is an Addendum to and forms a part of the Purchase Agreement between Buyer and Seller which relates to the Property. If this Addendum conflicts with, varies from or modifies the Purchase Agreement, the terms, conditions, and provisions of this Addendum shall govern and control the rights and obligations of Buyer and Seller. In all other respects, the terms, conditions and provisions of the Purchase Agreement are republished and reaffirmed. Any capitalized terms in this Addendum shall have the meaning given in the Purchase Agreement unless otherwise provided in this Addendum.

This Addendum is an overview of Seller's Energy Wise Program. Seller's Energy Wise Program provides Buyer with a HERS® Index rating for the Home, and may include Personalization features or products that may offer energy efficiency or energy savings benefits or other conservation or environmental characteristics ("Energy Wise Personalization"). Energy Wise Personalization varies from community to community. Personalization offering energy efficient features may include insulation, windows, heating and cooling equipment, or lighting and appliances marketed as offering energy efficiency or energy savings benefits. The HERS® Index, a registered trademark of the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET), is an energy efficiency scoring system established by RESNET and is not a feature or product itself. The HERS® Index scores a home built to the specifications of the HERS® Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) at 100. Each 1-point decrease in the HERS® Index corresponds to a 1% reduction in energy consumption compared to the HERS® Reference Home. The lower a home's HERS® Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS® Reference Home. The HERS® Index shown in any marketing or sales material is an estimation based on the relevant standard home plan as projected prior to construction using RESNET approved software and not as confirmed by actual measurements taken upon completion of the Home. The HERS® Index for the Home will be determined by an independent RESNET-certified HERS® Rater based on observations and analyses of the Home as-built and will be provided to Buyer at, before or after closing. Observations performed in accordance with RESNET Standards of Practice are not technically exhaustive and are not intended to be a confirmation of compliance with regulatory requirements. Information about the HERS® Index, Home Energy Rating Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics Standards can be found on RESNET's website at http://www.resnet.us. Actual energy and utility costs and savings and conservation or environmental characteristics will depend on factors that include, without limitation, rates and charges of local utility companies, the type and source of energy or utility, actual household energy and utility consumption, alterations and retrofits made subsequent to Closing, and climatic conditions. The International Energy Conservation Code and other building codes, ordinances or regulations, as adopted and amended by the jurisdiction in which the Home is built, may materially affect the HERS® Index for the Home. Buyers are cautioned against and should not rely solely on any Energy Wise Personalization in making any decision. SELLER CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE ENERGY OR UTILITY USAGE AND COSTS OR SAVINGS AND CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE ANY HOME WILL HAVE A HERS® INDEX EQUAL TO OR LOWER THAN THAT AS MARKETED OR AS DETERMINED FOR A SPECIFIC HOME BY AN INDEPENDENT RESNET-CERTIFIED HERS® RATER. The receipt of a HERS® Index rating on a Home does not qualify the Home as ENERGY STAR® and is not a qualification under any ENERGY STAR® Qualified New Homes Program that may be offered by Seller.

Certain Personalization may be ENERGY STAR® qualified. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") introduced ENERGY STAR® as a voluntary program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through increased energy efficiency. Some Home appliances such as, without limitation, dishwashers, refrigerators, water heaters, central air conditioners, furnaces and heat pumps may display manufacturers' energy efficiency test results on yellow EnergyGuide labels. The yellow EnergyGuide labels were developed to assist consumers in comparing the energy use of different models and may also note whether the appliance is ENERGY STAR® qualified. EnergyGuide labels may vary and are not available for all appliances. Seller's inclusion or offering of ENERGY STAR® qualified or labeled products or appliances with the Home shall not be construed as qualification or labeling of the entire Home as ENERGY STAR®. For more information on Energy Star®, visit the FTC's website at http://www.ftc.gov/appliances or http://www.energystar.gov

Seller has not independently verified the content or accuracy of any information prepared by or for the EPA, Department of Energy ("DOE"), Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") or RESNET or prepared by any manufacturer or person under EPA, DOE, FTC or RESNET regulations, guidelines or standards and expressly disclaims responsibility for any representations or guarantees made by any governmental agency, RESNET, manufacturer or person.

RESPONDENT. Richmond American Construction, Inc. (“Richmond American”), by and through undersigned counsel, hereby submits its written response to the Citation issued in Case No. 2023-014473 involving claims at the residence owned by Chaz Fort. Richmond American denies the allegations set forth in Charge 1 and Charge 2 of the Citation as all items identified in the written directive have been fully addressed and necessary repairs have been completed. Richmond American denies that the work performed by any of its trade partners did not meet the minimum workmanship standards or fell below the applicable standard of care or is a violation of A.R.S. §§ 32-1154(A)(3) or 32-1154(A)(22) as alleged in the Citation. In support of the denial, Richmond American anticipates soliciting and providing

testimony from the trade partners that actually performed the alleged deficient work as well as an independent Arizona licensed general contractor that the work identified as allegedly non-compliant by the Registrar of Contractors Inspector in the Compliance Jobsite Notes was actually completed in a professional and workmanlike manner and complies with industry standards. In addition, all items identified in the written directive as not meting the minimum workmanship standards have been addressed and repaired by Richmond American and its trade partners. Richmond American denies each and every allegation in Charge 1 and Charge 2 of the Citation and contends that all work, including all corrective work, was performed in a professional and workmanlike manner and complies with industry standards. Richmond American denies the commission of any act or acts that would, if proved, be cause for the suspension or revocation of Richmond American’s license under A.R.S. § 32-1154 and the rules adopted by the Registrar of Contractors. Having responded to the Citation, Richmond American respectfully requests that no action be taken against Richmond American’s license, that the Complaint and Citation be dismissed with prejudice as all items identified in the written directive as not meting the minimum workmanship standards have been addressed and repaired by Richmond American and its trade partners.
