Mold Addendum,
· .. oid---Mold is a type of fungus that occurs natw::aliy in the environment and is found evetyWhere life is supported. It spreads by means of microscopic spores canie.d on air currents. In. order to grow, mold requires (a) a food source, (b.) a temperate climate (i:.e.,. between 40 and i00 degree Fal)reriliek), and (t:) moisture, In a residerrctf, a nwrtber of food sources can be foun fabric, carpet, walipaper,. drywall; woo .!lild insulation, tQ name, a f'ew. Of critical importance, howevet, is moistur moisture is the only mold gi,owth fac.tor that can be cot1tt0Ued in a residential setting. l3y minimizing. moisture; a homeowner can duce ot .Iittiinate mcild growth. . · Moisture in the home can have many causes. $pill$, leaks, overllows, condensation, and high humidity are common sources ofhotne moisture. Good housekeeping and home maintenance practices are essential in the effort to prevent or eliminate mold growth. If moisture is allowed to remain on the growth medlum, mold can develop Within 24 to 48 hours, Furthermore, mold that is not properly and adequateli' removed may re ppear,
Consequences ofMolG'-All mold is not necessarily barm.M. For susceptible persons, mold is just one of any number of indoor air quality irritants facluding, for e:xamplej pet dander and dust mites, Experts disagree, however, about the level of mold exposwe that may cause health problems, and as yet there are no state or feder-u stan<lards that establish acceptable leve,ls of exposure t,o mold. ·
What the Homeowner can D The homeowner catl take positive step$ to reduce and/or eliminate the occurtence of mold growth in and around the home and thereby minimize tJie possibility of advetse effects that may be caused by
wold.
The following suggestions have been complied from the recommendations of the U.S. EnviI'oru:riental Protection Agency, the. Consumer Product Siuety Commission, the American Lung Association, and the National Association ofHotne Builders, among others, btit they are not meant to be tdl-inclusive.
Before bringing items into the home, check for signs of mold. Potted plants (roots and soil). furnishing$ stored clothing arid bedding niatetfa.l; as well as man.y other household goods could already contain mold, wlifoh can
then be spread to other areas of the home · ·
Regular vacuuming and cleaning will help reduce mold levels. Mild bleach solutions and most tile cleaners are·
effective in eiitiiinatih& or pteventint mold gri;)v;th.
Keep the humidity in the home fow,, Vent clothes dryers to the outsid¢. Ven,tilate kitchens and bathrooms by operung the windows. by using exhaust fan , and/or hy tu!mmg ail' cond,itfoning equipment to remove excess moisture in the air and fo facilitate ev potation of water from wet surfaces
Raise the temperature in areas where moisture con4.ertses on surfaces, and open doors between rooms to
increase air circulation in the home including doors to closets
Have major appliances (e:g., furnaces heat pilinp&, central air conditioriers; window air conditioners, ventilation systems, and humidifiers) inspected, deaned,, and services reguiarly by a qualified professional.
Clean and dry refrigerator, air conditioner; and dehWnfdifier drip pans and filters regularly and be c.ertain tl:t.at your renigetator·and freezer doors seal properly

Certain items displayed in the models, such as decorator items, extra fencing, special landscaping and any other items displayed for merchandising or marketing purposes are not standard construction items and are therefore not included in this Contract. In the event of any conflict between the Seller's models and the plans and specifications for the home to be constructed, the plans and specifications shall control. Identification of such items should be obtained from Seller's· sales representatives by Purchasers.
The home may be constructed as a reverse ("mirror image") of that illustrated in the floor plan- of the applicable model as shown on sales and promotional material of the Seller, or as
shown on an existing model of the home.. Purchas,er agrees to accept the home as sited by the Seller and as constructed according to a standard or reverse floor plan.
The Seller estimates that the home will be substantially completed on or about one hundred twenty (120) days from the time a building permit is obtained from the county in the State of Florida having jurisdiction. Purchaser, however, acknowledges and agrees that this e.stimated completion date is given to Purchaser for convenience only and is subject to change from time to time, for any reason, and without creating any liabiiity to Seller as a result of a longer completion period or delay in completion date.

Purchaser shall pay for all credit report and application fees requested by lender selected by Purchaser. Purchaser's failure to comply with this provision shall constitute a default, in which event the total deposits paid hereunder by Purchaser shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages and this· Contract shall become null and void. If Purchaser is married and his/her spouse has not signed this Contract, then Purchaser shall bear the responsibility of procuring the cooperation of his/her spouse and guarantees to the Seller that such spouse will execute the mortgage loan documents as required by the mortgage lender, and the failure of the Purchaser to procure the cooperation·· and required signature of such a spouse to the procurement and perfecting of a mortgage, shall constitute a default hereunder, entitling Seller to retain all deposits previously posted without further liability to the Purchaser under the terms of this Contract The failure of such a spouse to execute the loan application or

Mold. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Environmental Health, mold spores are naturally occurring microscopic organisms that may be found virtually anywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Mold spores may enter a home through open doorways and windows, HVAC systems, or other sources of air infiltration. It is not yet known whether mold can cause serious health problems. The most medical symptoms reported from mold exposure include the following: runny nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, aggravation of asthma, headache and fatigue. Although it is impossible to have a mold-free home, controlling moisture is the best way to control mold growth. Other mold reducing measures ·include: vacuum and clean regularly, use mold killing cleaners, use air conditioners and dehumidifiers, vent clothes dryers to the outside and use exhaust fans when cooking, dishwashing, showering and cleaning. For more, information on mold, you may contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at telephone number l-800-311-3435 or

The Property shall be considered to be ready for closing upon issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy or other similar document issued by a.governmental agency and Purchaser's receipt of notice of same from Seller. Purchaser further agrees that under no circumstances shall the closing be delayed or postponed due to Purchaser's inability to inspect the Property and execute a Walk Through List prior to closing, and there shall be no withholding of any or all of Seller's proceeds at closing for any such Walk Through List items without the advance written approval of Seller.

two (2) years of the date of this Contract barring only events beyond the control of Seller such as acts of God, acts of war, inability to obtain materials, strikes, other labor problems, governmental orders, or any other event constituting LTD.possibility of performance for reasons beyond Seiler's reasonable control.
Certain items displayed in the models, such as decorator items, extra fencing, special landscaping and any other items displayed for merchandising or marketing purposes are not standard construction items and are therefore not included in this Contract. In the event.of any conflict between the Seller's models and the plans and specifications for the home to be constructed, the plans and specifications shall control. Identification of such items should be obtained from Seller's sales representatives by Purchasers.
The home may be constructed as a reverse ("mirror im ge") of that illustrated in the floor plan of the applicable model as shown on sales and promotional material of the Seller, or as shown on an existing model of the home. Purchaser agrees to accept the home as sited by the Seller and as constructed according to a standard or reverse floor plan.
The Seller estimates that the home will be substantially completed on or about one hundred twenty (120) days from the time a building permit is obtained from the county in the State of Florida having jurisdiction. Purchaser, however, acknowledges and agrees that this estimated completion date is given to Purchaser for convenience only and is subject to change from time to time, for any reason, and without creating any liability to Seller as a result of a longer completion period or delay in completion date.
The construction of the home shall be, without exception, considered complete upon the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, VA Final Compliance Inspection Report, or its . equivalent by the applicable governmental agency.

Purchaser shall pay for all credit report and application fees requested by lender selected by Purchaser. Purchaser's failure to comply with this provision shall constitute a default, in which event the total deposits paid hereunder by Purchaser shall be retained by Seller as liquidated damages and this Contract shall become null and void. If Purchaser is married and his/her spouse has not signed this Contract, then Purchaser shall bear the responsibility of procuring the cooperation of his/her spouse and guarantees to the Seller that such spouse will execute the mortgage loan documents as required by the mortgage lender, and the failure of the Purchaser to procure the cooperation and required signature of such a spouse to the procurement and perfecting of a mortgage, shall constitute a default hereunder, entitling Seller to retain all deposits previously posted without further liability to the Purchaser under the terms of this Contract.

Inspection.
Because this Contract is being executed prior to completion of construction of improvements on the Lot, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing when construction is completed. Prior to closing, Purchaser and Seller shall inspect the Property and execute a written list specifying all items, including any noted in previous inspections, that remain to be completed ("Walk Through List"). No items shall be considered part of the Walk Through List unless such items are actually written on the Walk Through List.

Mold. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Environmental Health, mold spores are naturally occurring microscopic organisms that may be found virtually anywhere, both indoors and outdoors. Mold spores may enter a home through open doorways and windows, HVAC systems, or other sources of air infiltration. It is not yet known whether mold can cause serious health problems. The most medical symptoms reported from mold exposure include the following: runny nose, eye irritation, cough, congestion, aggravation of asthma, headache and fatigue. Although it is impossible to have a mold-free home, controlling moisture is the best way to control mold growth. Other mold reducing measures include: vacuum and clean regularly, use mold killing cleaners, use air conditioners and dehumidifiers, vent clothes dryers to the outside and use exhaust fans when cooking, dishwashing, showering and cleaning. For more information on mold, you may contact the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention at telephone number 1-800-3,P-3435 or

Inspection.
Because this Contract is being executed prior to completion of construction of improvements on the Lot, Seller shall notify Purchaser in writing when construction is completed. Prior to closing, Purchaser and Seller shall inspect the Property and execute a written list specifying all items, including any noted in previous inspections, that remain to be completed ("Walk Through List"). No items shall be considered part of the Walk Through List unless such items are actually written on the Walk Through List. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller will make a reasonable effort to complete all of the items specified in the agreed upon Walk Through List on a timely basis, but the fact that any repairs, touch ups or adjustments are incomplete shall not constitute a valid reason for Purchaser to fail to close. The Property shall be considered to be ready for closing upon issuance of a Certificate of Oecupancy or other similar document issued by a governmental agency and Purchaser's receipt of notice of same from Seller. Purchaser further agrees that under no circumstances shall the closing be delayed or postponed· due to Purchaser's inability to inspect the Property and execute a Walk Through List prior to closing, and there shall be no withholding of any or all of Seller's proceeds at closing for any such Walk Through List items without the advance written approval of Seller. ·
Except for items set forth in the Walk Through List, Purchaser expressly acknowledges acceptance of all conditions or circumstances existing on the Property and waives and releases Seller, its agents, employees and subcontractors, and broker, from any claim, rights of action or suits seeking rescission of this Contract, damages or other relief based upon, or relating to, any condition or circumstances existing on or in the vicinity of the Property, except as may be covered by an express warranty, if any, given the Purchaser by Seller.

The Seller's obligation under this warranty is limited to repairs and replacement. This is the only warranty provided by Seller with respect to the property. As to items not of SeUer's manufacture, such as any air conditioner, water heater, refrigerator, range, dishwasher, and other appliances or equipment or cons mer products as defined by the Federal Trade Commission, Seller agrees to transmit to Purchaser the manufacturer's warranty regarding such items without recourse. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY FOR SUCH ITEMS. THE NEW HOME WARRANTY SUPPLIED BY THE SELLER IS THE ONLY WARRANTY APPLICABLE TO THIS PURCHASE. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH ABOVE, SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, OR ARISING BY OPERATION OF LAW, COURSE OF DEALING, CUSTOM AND PRACTICE, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CONSTRUCTION ON THE PROPERTY OR ANY PERSONAL PROPERTY LOCATED THEREON.

Prepaid Items and Escrows. Certain prepaid items and escrows shall be paid or funded by the Purchaser at closing. These prepaid items and escrows include the payment of first year hazard insurance premium, payment of interest on mortgage loan from closing date until the first day of the following month, funding escrows for real estate taxes, hazard insurance and mortgage insurance premiums and homeowners' association transfer or initiation fees. If a homeowners' association has been formed for the subdivision in which the property is located, prepaid items will include an initial fee to join such associated and prorated annual assessments for the year of closing as charged by the applicable homeowners' association.
Risk of Loss. If the Home or Lot is damaged by fire or casualty before delivery of the deed, and the Home and Lot can be restored to substantially the same condition as now exists within a period of sixty (60) days thereafter, Seller shall restore same and the closing date set forth above shall be extended accordingly. If Seller fails to do so, Purchaser shall have the option of (a) taking the property as is, together with the insurance proceeds, if any, or (b) canceling the Contract, in which event all deposits are to be returned to the Purchaser and all parties shall be released from any and all obligations and/or liabilities hereunder.
Sinkhole Exclusion. Certain areas of Florida have experienced a sinkhole and soil settlement activity. Seller has consulted with soil engineers about the potential for sinkhole development in the area where the Property is located and has been advised that no soil study or investigation can offer any guarantee that sinkholes will not develop on a specific Lot. Seller has also been informed that soil engineers can conduct testing and exploration of potential sinkhole sites in an attempt to assess the possibility of future sinkhole development. Seller assumes no responsibility to make any tests for such purposes, but Seller will permit Purchaser to do so, at Purchaser's expense, if the Purchaser so desires, provided such tests occur within seven (7) days of the date of this Contract. If Purchaser has any concerns about the possibility of this particular Florida property being afflicted by a sinkhole condition, Seller advises Purchaser to purchase homeowner's or hazard insurance to protect Purchaser against losses resulting from any such catastrophe occurring.
Additional Terms.
Miscellaneous.
Renderings and drawings are not actual photographs of the Home and do not constitute a representation or warranty as to construction, interior finish, decor, amenities, or other features.
This Contract may be executed in any number of counterparts, which together shall constitute the Contract of the parties. The effective date of this Contract is the date of execution by Seller, and shall not be affected by whether or when Purchaser receives a fully executed copy of this Contract. Seller is hereby authorized to make any inquiry and investigation as to Purchaser's character,
