6) Indemnification: SELLER agrees to:

A) Indemnify Broker and hold Broker harmless from losses, damages, costs and expenses of any nature, including attorney's fees, and from liability to any person, that Broker incurs because of

i) SELLER's negligence, representations, misrepresentations, actions or inaction,

ii) any loss or theft relating to the use of a lock box or form SELLER's failure to remove or secure valuables,

The final choice of any service provider rests solely with SELLER and SELLER is free to choose any provider, whether the name appears on any list or not. SELLER agrees to hold Broker harmless from any and all claims or losses that in any way arise out of, or relate to, the selection or use of any such service provider.

8) Compensation: Seller will compensate Broker as specified below for procuring a buyer who is ready, willing, and able to purchase the Property or any interest in the Property on the terms of this Agreement or on any other terms acceptable to Seller. Seller will pay Broker as follows:

A) 5.0% of the total purchase price if the buyer is represented by another broker, no later than the date of closing specified in the sales contract.

B) 5.0% of the total purchase price if the buyer is represented by Broker (ADDvantage® Real Estate Network) no later than the date of closing specified in the sales contract.

C) See terms of short sale addendum below.

9) Cooperation and Compensation with Other Brokers: Broker's office policy is to cooperate with all other brokers except when not in Seller's best interest:

A) and to offer compensation in the amount of 2% (chosen by seller during sign-up) of the purchase price and a bonus of $0 to Buyer's agents, who represent the interest of the buyers (single agent) and not the interest of the Seller in a transaction;

B) and to offer compensation in the amount of 3.0% of the purchase price to Transaction Brokers for the Buyer;

10) MLS Commission Offer: Seller(s) is offering 2% (chosen by seller during sign-up) commission in the MLS and Seller(s) is offering 0.0% bonus to procuring Realtor®. Seller(s) is authorizing BROKER to offer this commission/bonus by means of this listing agreement and further authorizes BROKER to advertise such commission/bonus offer in the MLS on behalf of Seller(s) to Realtors® in an effort procure a buyer for said property. If a sales contract is fully executed by buyer/seller or if seller(s), by means of any agreement, transfers title of property to another party in which a Realtor® was the procuring cause by evidence that the Realtor®'s name is on the sales contract, and successfully closes transaction, seller(s) gives broker the authority to inform the title company/closing agent or lawyer representing seller(s) to include such commission/bonus, exactly as stated in the MLS, on the HUD1 settlement statement, as an item to be paid by seller(s), and gives the closing agent such authority to disburse said commission/bonus to the procuring Realtor® at closing. The only exception to this would be if seller(s) and Realtor® have agreed to other commission/bonus terms than what is being advertised in the MLS by attaching this language as an addendum to the final contract (see “Change of Commission Addendum.”)
