mortgage secured by the said Property in accordance with a schedule of payments and account numbers supplied by Owner

Maryland requires that a licensee may not show a property for sale or negotiate a sale without having a written listing
agreement on the Property, and because Agent may know of opportunities to sell the Property and may wish to show and
negotiate offers on the Property when Agent believes that a sale of the Property may be in the best interest of Owner, it is
agreed that if Owner decides to sell or exchange the Property to tenant(s) or to other person(s) during the term of this
Agreement or within ( ) calendar days following the expiration or termination of any lease agreement

brokerage fee in the amount of % of the sale or exchange price or the sum of Dollars
($ ). Owner agrees to execute a written exclusive right to sell listing agreement containing provisions as required by
applicable jurisdiction law on such form as shall be provided by Agent. Failure of Owner to execute a written listing
agreement shall not relieve Owner from Owner’s Obligation to pay such brokerage fee to Agent in the event of a sale or
exchange of the Property by Owner.

for rent and that Agent may show other available properties to any prospective tenant(s). Owner also acknowledges that Agent

Agency would be presented to Owner before licensees with Agent’s firm may show the Property to tenant(s) who are
represented by Agent.

In the event of Dual Agency and either Owner or Agent declines to consent in writing to Dual Agency, Agent may terminate
the agency relationship with the tenant(s) and continue to represent Owner under this Agreement. If there is no consent to Dual
Agency and Agent elects to continue to represent the Tenant, the rental listing Agreement shall be terminated. In such event,
Owner must either represent him or herself or arrange to be represented by a real estate licensee from another real estate
company. Compensation to Agent shall be paid in accordance with the terms hereof and as set forth in the written rental listing
agreement.

24. MINISTERIAL ACTS: Owner agrees that Agent may perform ministerial acts for Owner and Tenant. A ministerial act is
an act that Agent performs on behalf of Owner or Tenant after the execution of a lease or rental application which assists the
tenant to complete or fulfill a lease term; which does not involve discretion or the exercise of Agent's own judgment.
