20. AIR QUALITY.

Caution: Microorganisms, including, but not limited to, mold, mildew, spores, or any other form
of fungi, bacteria, and toxins secreted by them, occur naturally in the environment. They may be
present during or after construction of your Home in its air and on surfaces including wall cavities,
attic, windows, basement, exterior, or any other part of the Home. Concentrations of moisture can
result from cooking, showering, washing or similar water-related activities inside the Home, from
the atmosphere outside the Home, and from the design, construction means and methods, and
materials used in the construction of the Home, including achieving energy efficiency by
construction methods that reduce air infiltration and circulation. This moisture may cause the
presence, growth, release, discharge or dispersal of Microorganisms, which, at certain levels, can
cause deterioration of Home materials, damage to property, health hazards, personal injuries or
other irritant effects, such as skin irritation, respiratory problems and allergic reactions. Likewise,
concentrations of radon released from soil and chemicals released from household furnishings,
appliances, mechanical equipment, personal possessions, and other Home materials may, at certain
levels, cause the same or similar effects. Microorganisms, radon and chemicals occur naturally in
the environment, and as a result, Builder cannot eliminate the possibility that they may be present
or may grow in, on, or about the Home. Buyer may minimize these adverse effects by proper
operation and maintenance of heating, ventilation, air conditioning and dehumidification

Page 12 of 22
equipment, interior maintenance and cleaning, and exterior maintenance such as, but not limited to,
proper grading, landscaping, painting, and caulking. The Buyer acknowledges that the prevention
of such effects requires specialized plans, specifications, ventilation and construction techniques,
and thereafter, specific building operation and maintenance protocols must be maintained by the
Buyer, all of which add significant costs that are not included the Contract Price.

As a result of these factors, Buyer acknowledges and agrees Builder is not responsible for the
presence, growth, release, discharge or dispersal of the Microorganisms, radon and chemicals at
the Project Site and Home. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY
ELSEWHERE IN THIS CONTRACT, BUYER RELEASES ALL CLAIMS AGAINST THE
BUILDER, ITS SUBCONTRACTORS, SUPPLIERS AND THEIR OFFICERS,
DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS (RELEASED PARTIES), FOR BODILY
INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE AND/OR LOSS OF USE ARISING FROM OR
ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE PRESENCE, GROWTH, RELEASE, DISCHARGE OR
DISPERSAL OF MICROORGANISMS, RADON AND CHEMICALS AT THE PROJECT
SITE AND HOME, WHETHER RESULTING FROM BUYERS IMPROPER OR
INADEQUATE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE EQUIPMENT SYSTEMS
OR OTHERWISE, EXCEPT, AND NOT INCLUDING, CLAIMS ARISING FROM
WILLFUL OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT OF A RELEASED PARTY. Upon
Substantial Completion, the Buyer assumes sole responsibility to operate and maintain the Home
and its systems, and to comply with all operation and maintenance instructions furnished by
Builder to Buyer.

21. WATER QUALITY AND SUPPLY.

Unless otherwise expressly provided in writing, Builder does not warrant or guarantee the quality
or supply of water at the Home, which includes, but is not limited to: water quality, compliance
with the provisions of the federal Safe Drinking Water Act, as amended, and similar state, county
or local laws or ordinances relating to drinking water, sufficient water supply and pressure, well
capacities, water clarity, water odor, radium and other chemical or mineral levels, or other issues
relating to water quality or supply. Compliance with all applicable water-related laws is Buyer's
responsibility.

22. SUSPENSION.

In the event Work is stopped by any court or public authority, by Buyers instructions, or by
Buyers failure to fulfill Buyers obligations under this Contract, Builder shall have the right to
suspend Work until such conditions are resolved sufficiently to permit Work to safely resume
(Suspension). The Parties will make a good faith effort to resolve the cause(s) of any Suspensions.
If a Suspension lasts for longer than thirty (30) days, Buyer will pay Builder for Work performed
up to the date of Suspension, as adjusted by Change Orders, if any, less any prior Payments. A
Suspension shall not extend the time of any Contract warranties given to the Buyer remain in
effect.

Page 13 of 22
23. TERMINATION.

If (1) a Suspension lasts longer than _____ days, (2) the Builder elects to terminate based on Buyer
taking occupancy before full payment required under this Contract is made to Builder, or (3) the
Buyer breaches any other material obligations under this Contract, and such breach is not corrected
or resolved within ____ days after written notice is given to Buyer, then the Builder shall have the
right to terminate this Contract. If Builder elects to terminate, the Builder must notify the Buyer in
writing, and have no further obligation to complete the Work.

At the time of termination, if construction of the Home has reached Substantial Completion, the
Buyer shall immediately pay to Builder the entire Contract Price, as adjusted for Change Orders,
less amounts previously paid. If termination of the Contract occurs before Substantial Completion,
the Buyer shall immediately pay to Builder the Actual Cost for all Work then installed and
provided, plus an amount equal to ____ % of the Contract Price for Builders termination fee.

24. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

Any dispute between the Parties, their spouses, officers, owners, shareholders, directors,
employees, successors, members, assigns or agents, arising out of or relating to this Contract and
its performance, including, but not limited to, its meaning, enforceability, changes, payments,
warranties, or any other disputed terms, rights or obligations, will be resolved using the following
process:

A. Mediation.

Mediation may be requested by the Buyer or the Builder by conveying a written notice to the other
party and the Mediation Service of the MBA (MBA Mediation Service). The mediation will be
conducted by the MBA Mediation Service according to its rules and procedures, to which the
Parties hereby agree to abide. The Parties agree that if mediation is commenced, they will make
good faith efforts to resolve their dispute, or as much of it as reasonably possible, through
mediation. Mediation will not waive or affect the Parties obligation to resolve their dispute by
arbitration in the event a full and final resolution is not reached in mediation.

B. Arbitration.

If neither of the Parties elects to proceed to mediation, or if all or any part of a dispute is not
resolved through mediation (other than enforcement of any insured warranty plan), the Parties
agree to arbitrate their dispute pursuant to, and abide by, the policies and procedures of the MBA
Dispute Resolution Service, unless an alternative dispute resolution process is set forth below:
_______________________________________________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________.

If arbitration is undertaken, the decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be binding, final and may be
enforced in accordance with Wisconsin Statutes Chapter 788. The arbitrator(s) may award costs,
including filing fee, and reasonable attorneys fees, to the prevailing party in their sole discretion.

Page 14 of 22
The filing of a lien claim shall not be considered an election by the Builder to waive its mediation
or arbitration rights. Builders filing of, or commencement of an action to foreclose, a Claim for
Lien is not a violation of the duty to arbitrate, provided that the action is stayed and the claims
asserted in the action are resolved by arbitration as provided in this Contract.

If the Parties are directed to arbitrate any dispute and either refuses to submit a claim to arbitration,
fails to abide by the rules adopted by the applicable arbitration body, including payment of
preliminary fees, or fails to abide by the decision of the arbitrators, the non-breaching party shall
be entitled to recover all costs, including reasonable attorneys fees, incurred to compel arbitration
and/or enforce the terms of this Contract. The Parties agree that, in the event the MBA is named as
a party to any dispute between the Parties to challenge the MBAs ability to administer the dispute
resolution process, conduct mediation or arbitration, or to enforce an arbitration decision, the MBA
shall be awarded reasonable attorneys fees and other costs associated with such proceeding if the
claim asserted against MBA is denied.

If the MBA Dispute Resolution Service is selected to administer any dispute between the Parties,
the MBA Dispute Resolution Intake Committee shall have the sole authority to determine whether
any or all of the disputes submitted for resolution are suitable for arbitration; to direct whether the
MBA Construction Arbitration Board or Joint Resolution Process Arbitration Panel is the
appropriate body to hear the arbitration; or to determine whether any or all of the disputes are
better suited for and will be referred to Small Claims Court. The MBA Dispute Resolution Intake
Committee shall also have the authority to decide procedural and jurisdictional matters including,
but not limited to, jurisdictional considerations such as compliance with the notice provisions of
the Wisconsin Right to Cure Laws.

C. Allowances.

Selection Allowances are items of the Work and finishes in the Home that have not been selected
by Buyer at the time this Contract is signed by the Parties, together with any related design
changes necessitated as a result of Buyers choices. Site Allowances are necessary site activities
that are difficult to fully identify until that Work is actually undertaken due to soil conditions,
Home placement, weather, configuration of the Project Site and related issues. The Parties
acknowledge an exact cost for these Allowances, whether Selection Allowances or Site
Allowances, cannot be determined at the time this Contract is signed. The Parties nevertheless
have agreed to identify and include working estimates of Allowance costs in the Contract Price
based on, and generally consistent with, the overall quality of the Home and the information
furnished to the Builder by the Buyer and government authorities about the Project Site as of the
date the Contract is signed.

The Buyer acknowledges that the Builder does not guarantee the final cost of the Buyers
Allowance selections will be equal to or lower than the Allowance Estimated Amounts
identified in this Contract.

(1) Selection Allowances

The final cost of Selection Allowance items will be determined on a cost plus fee basis, comprised
of the total amounts charged by the Builder, its suppliers and subcontractors for the materials
selected and labor furnished for the item, plus Builders fee of _______% of the total of such
amounts.

Within a reasonable time after Buyer selects a Selection Allowance item, Builder will confirm the
final cost of that item and the difference, if any, from the Allowance Estimated Amount listed
below for that item. If the final cost is lower than the Estimated Amount, a credit will be given to
the Buyer reducing the Contract Price by the difference at the final closing before occupancy. If
the actual cost is higher than the Estimated Amount for a Selection Allowance item, the Buyer
will pay the additional amount in excess of the Estimated Amount listed below to the Builder
within ten (10) days after the selection is made and documentation of the Actual Cost is provided
to the Buyer by the Builder.

Within a reasonable time days after Site Allowance items are completed, Builder will confirm to
the Buyer the final cost and the difference, if any, from the Allowance Estimated Amounts listed
below. If the final cost of the site activity is lower than the Estimated Amount, a credit will be
given to the Buyer reducing the Contract Price by the difference at the final closing for the Project
before occupancy. If the actual cost is higher than the Estimated Amount for a Site Allowance
item, the Buyer will pay the additional amount in excess of the Estimated Amount listed below to

TOTAL WORK CREDITS $< >

The completed Work Credit Items shall be of a quality reasonably acceptable to the Builder,
consistent with the MBA Construction Industry Quality Standards, so as to permit Builders
remaining Work to be properly and timely completed and integrated into the Home, and Buyer
shall comply with all requirements of Home inspectors or other government agencies having
authority over the Project in providing the Work Credit Items. Buyer acknowledges that
performance of Work Credits must be coordinated with Work being furnished by Builder and that
failure to timely begin and complete the Work Credit Items may cause delay to Builders Work.
Buyer therefore agrees to perform or furnish each Work Credit Item within a reasonable time after
notice from the Builder. If Buyer is unable to do so, Builder will be entitled to an extension of the
Completion Date for the time necessary to adjust Builders performance of its Work, together with
a reasonable amount for costs Builder incurs, to accommodate late performance of the Work Credit
Item(s). Buyer is responsible for obtaining proof of commercial general liability insurance in an
amount sufficient to cover losses arising from their negligence to the extent caused by their
operations at the Project Site, and worker's compensation insurance to the extent required by law,
from all third parties that Buyer retains to perform Work Credit Items.

Buyer agrees to hold harmless and indemnify Builder from all claims of damage or loss to persons
or property, including costs for protection and repair of Builders Work, arising out of or related to
Buyers, its third party contractors and agents negligent acts or omissions in the Home and at the
Project Site arising from the supply and performance of Work Credit Items. Buyer further
acknowledges that Work Credit Items causing damage to Builders Work may void the Builder's
warranty, and Builder will give written notice to Buyer in such event.

F. Total Contract Price.

Based on the Base Price, Additions, Allowance Estimates added to Base Price, and less
Deletions and Work Credits as identified above, the total Contract Price for the Work (which
may be modified hereafter by Change Orders as provided in this Contract) is:
