THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. − READ CAREFULLY BEFORE SIGNING.
DESIGNATED AGENCY BROKERAGE
1. TERM OF AGREEMENT. The Buyer hereby retains the Company, including Alan Wade/Mikal Jordon Wade (the
"Buyer's Agent") as the authorized agent for the Company, starting on the date listed above, and ending at 5:00 P.M. (MST) on
the day of , , or the closing of the acquisition of a property, which ever occurs first (the
"Initial Term"), to act as the EXCLUSIVE Buyer's Agent in locating and/or negotiating for the acquisition of a property in
County, Utah. During the Initial Term of this Exclusive Buyer−Broker Agreement, and any
extensions thereof, the Buyer agrees not to enter into another buyer−broker agreement with another real estate agent or
brokerage.
2. BROKERAGE FEE. If, during the Initial Term, or any extension of the Initial Term, the Buyer, or any other person acting in
the Buyer's behalf, acquires an interest in any real property, the Buyer agrees to pay to the Company a brokerage fee in the
amount of $ or 3% of the acquisition price of the property. If the property acquired by the Buyer is listed
with a brokerage, the selling commission paid to the Company by the listing brokerage shall satisfy the Buyer's obligation for
the brokerage fee shown above provided that the brokerage fee is not less than the amount shown above. If the brokerage fee
is less than the amount shown above, Buyer will pay the difference at closing. If the property is not listed with a brokerage, in
the absence of a commission agreement with the owner of the selected property, the brokerage fee shown above shall be paid
by the Buyer. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Buyer and the Company, the brokerage fee shown above shall be
due and payable on: (a) if a purchase, the date of recording of the closing documents; (b) if a lease, the effective date of the
lease, or (c) if an option, the date the option agreement is signed. If the transaction is prevented by default of Buyer, the
compensation shall be immediately payable to the Company.
3. PROTECTION PERIOD. If within 3 months after the termination or expiration of this Exclusive Buyer−Broker Agreement,
Buyer or any person acting on the Buyer's behalf, enters into an agreement to purchase, exchange for, obtain an option on, or
lease any property located for Buyer by Buyer's Agent or the Company, or on which Buyer's Agent negotiates in Buyer's behalf
during the Initial Term, Buyer agrees to pay to the Company the brokerage fee referenced in Section 2.
4. BUYER REPRESENTATIONS/DISCLOSURES. THE BUYER WARRANTS THAT THE BUYER HAS NOT ENTERED INTO
ANY OTHER BUYER−BROKER AGREEMENT WITH ANY OTHER BROKERAGE THAT IS STILL IN FORCE AND EFFECT.
The Buyer will: (a) in all communications with other real estate agents, notify the agents in advance that the Buyer has entered
into this Exclusive Buyer−Broker Agreement with the Company; (b) furnish the Buyer's Agent with relevant personal and
financial information to facilitate the Buyer's ability to acquire a property; (c) exercise care and diligence in evaluating the
physical and legal condition of the property selected by the Buyer; (d) hold harmless the Company and the Buyer's Agent
against any claims as the result of any injuries incurred while inspecting any property; (e) upon signing of this Exclusive
Buyer−Broker Agreement, personally review and sign the Buyer Due Diligence Checklist form; and (f) disclose to the Buyer's
Agent all properties in which the Buyer, as of the date of this Exclusive Buyer−Broker Agreement, is either negotiating to
acquire or has a present interest in acquiring.
5. AGENCY RELATIONSHIPS. By signing this Exclusive Buyer−Broker Agreement, the Buyer designates the Buyer's Agent
and the Principal/Branch Broker for the Company (the "Broker"), as agents for the Buyer to locate properties for the Buyer's
consideration and review. The Buyer authorizes the Buyer's Agent or the Broker to appoint another agent in the Company to
also represent the Buyer in the event the Buyer's Agent or the Broker will be unavailable to service the Buyer. As agents for the
Buyer, the Buyer's Agent and the Broker have fiduciary duties to the Buyer that include loyalty, full disclosure, confidentiality,
and reasonable care. The Buyer understands, however, that the Buyer's Agent and the Broker may now, or in the future, be
agents for a Seller who may have a property that the Buyer may wish to acquire. Then the Buyer's Agent and the Broker would
be acting as Limited Agents − representing both the Buyer and seller at the same time. A Limited Agent has fiduciary duties to
both the Buyer and the seller. However, those duties are "limited" because the agent cannot provide to both parties undivided
loyalty, full confidentiality and full disclosure of all information known to the agent. For this reason, the Limited Agent is bound
by a further duty of neutrality. Being neutral, the Limited Agent may not disclose to either party information likely to weaken the
bargaining position of the other – for example, the highest price the Buyer will offer, or the lowest price the seller will accept.
THE BUYER IS ADVISED THAT NEITHER THE BUYER NOR THE SELLER IS REQUIRED TO ACCEPT A LIMITED
AGENCY SITUATION IN THE COMPANY, AND EACH PARTY IS ENTITLED TO BE REPRESENTED BY ITS OWN AGENT.
If Limited Agency is agreed to below; (a) the Buyer authorizes the Buyer's Agent and the Broker to represent both the Buyer
and the Seller as Limited Agents when the Buyer's Agent and the Broker also represent the Seller of the Property the Buyer
desires to acquire; (b) the Buyer further agrees that when another agent in the Company represents the Seller, that agent will
exclusively represent the Seller, the Buyer's Agent will exclusively represent the Buyer, and the Broker will act as Limited
Broker. IN EITHER EVENT, IF LIMITED AGENCY IS AGREED TO BELOW, THE BUYER AND THE SELLER WILL BE
REQUIRED TO SIGN A SEPARATE LIMITED AGENCY CONSENT AGREEMENT AT THE TIME THE LIMITED AGENCY
SITUATION ARISES. INITIAL APPLICABLE BOX: [ ] I AGREE TO LIMITED AGENCY; OR [ ] I DO
NOT AGREE TO LIMITED AGENCY.
