This AMENDED AND RESTATED EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (the “Amended Agreement”) is made between CENTURY COMMUNITIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and DALE FRANCESCON (the “Executive”), effective as of May 11, 2016 (“Effective Date”).

RECITALS

WHEREAS, the Company has employed the Executive as its Co-Chief Executive Officer pursuant to an Employment Agreement dated as of May 7, 2013 (the “Prior Agreement”) and further serves as Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors;

WHEREAS, the Company and Executive desire to modify the Prior Agreement and accordingly fully amend and restate the Prior Agreement pursuant to this Amended Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties agree that the Prior Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to provide the following:

1. General. The parties agree that, subject to the terms hereof, the Executive shall serve as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chairman of its Board of Directors, after the Effective Date hereof in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in this Amended Agreement.

2. Employment, Duties and Agreements. The Company hereby agrees to employ the Executive as its Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of its Board of Directors, and the Executive hereby accepts such position and agrees to serve the Company in such capacity on a full-time basis during the employment period fixed by Section 4 below (the “Employment Period”).

(a) The Executive shall have such duties and responsibilities as are consistent with the Executive’s position and as may be reasonably assigned by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) from time to time. During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be subject to, and shall act in accordance with, all reasonable instructions and directions of the Board and all applicable policies and rules of the Company.

(b) During the Employment Period, excluding any periods of vacation and sick leave to which the Executive is entitled, the Executive shall devote substantially his full working time and efforts to the performance of his duties and responsibilities hereunder and shall endeavor to promote the business and best interests of the Company.

(c) During the Employment Period, the Executive shall not engage in any business activity other than the Company without the express prior written approval of the Board. It will not be a violation of this exclusivity provision for the Executive to (i) manage the Executive’s personal, financial and legal affairs, (ii) acquire, invest, manage, construct, develop and dispose of the Executive’s investments in apartments for-rent, multi-family properties, and non-residential real estate, directly or indirectly in any capacity, provided such activities do not take a material amount of the Executive’s time and do not interfere with the Executive’s duties and obligations to the Company, or (iii) serve on charitable or civic boards or committees.

3. Compensation. As compensation for the agreements made by the Executive herein and the performance by the Executive of his obligations hereunder, during the Employment Period the Executive is entitled to receive the following compensation:

(a) The Company shall pay the Executive, pursuant to the Company’s normal and customary payroll procedures, a base salary at the rate of $800,000 per annum (the “Base Salary”). The Base Salary shall be reviewed at least annually for possible increase (but not decrease) in the Company’s sole discretion, as determined by the Company’s compensation committee; provided, however, that the Executive shall be entitled to any annual cost-of-living increases in Base Salary that are granted to senior executives of the Company generally. Any increase in Base Salary shall not serve to limit or reduce any other obligation to the Executive under this Amended Agreement. The term “Base Salary” as utilized in this Amended Agreement shall refer to Base Salary as so adjusted.

(b) In addition to the Base Salary, the Executive shall be eligible to earn, for each fiscal year of the Company ending during the Employment Period, an annual cash performance bonus (an “Annual Bonus”) under the Company’s bonus plan or plans applicable to senior executives. The amount of the Annual Bonus and the performance goals applicable to the Annual Bonus for any applicable Employment Period shall be determined in accordance with the terms and conditions of said bonus plan as in effect from time to time with a threshold target equal to 150% of Base Salary (the “Target Bonus”) and a maximum target equal to 300% of Base Salary (the “Maximum Bonus”). The terms and conditions of any such bonus plan shall be determined by the Company’s compensation committee in its sole discretion. Any Annual Bonus shall be paid on or before March 15^th of each calendar year immediately following the year in which compensation is earned in accordance with the applicable plan.

(c) Pursuant to the Company’s 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”), the Company has granted and may in the future grant the Executive restricted shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Restricted Stock”) and restricted stock units that are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock (the “RSUs”). Unless otherwise requested by Executive, all future awards to Executive under the Incentive Plan shall be in the form of RSUs, which shall vest at the same times as any contemporaneously granted awards of Restricted Stock under the Incentive Plan would have vested. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock and RSUs are and shall be set forth in an award agreement(s) entered into by the Company and the Executive in the form adopted by the Board or the compensation committee of the Company, as applicable, in conjunction with the adoption of the Incentive Plan (each, an “Equity Agreement,” and collectively, the “Equity Agreements”), as modified by the terms hereof.

(d) During the Employment Period, (i) the Executive shall be eligible to participate in all other incentive plans, practices, policies and programs, and all savings and retirement plans, policies and programs, in each case that are applicable generally to senior executives of the Company; (ii) the Executive and the Executive’s eligible family members shall be eligible for participation in the welfare benefit plans, practices, policies and programs

2

(including, if applicable, medical, dental, vision, disability, employee life, group life and accidental death insurance plans and programs) maintained by the Company for its senior executives; (iii) the Company shall reimburse the Executive up to $2,500 per month for premiums paid by or on behalf of the Executive for term life insurance coverage on the Executive’s life; (iv) the Executive shall be entitled to a $2,500 per month automobile and cell phone allowance; and (v) the Executive shall be entitled to such fringe benefits and perquisites as are provided by the Company to its senior executives from time to time, in accordance with the policies, practices, and procedures of the Company.

(e) During the Employment Period, the Executive shall be entitled to thirty (30) days paid vacation per year (prorated for partial years), and to such paid holidays as are observed by the Company from time to time, all in accordance with the Company’s policies and practices that are applicable to the Company’s senior executives. Unused vacation will be carried over from year to year and/or paid out as provided in the Company’s vacation plans and polices in effect as of the Effective Date.

(f) During the Employment Period, the Company shall maintain (i) a directors’ and officers’ liability insurance policy, or an equivalent errors and omissions liability insurance policy and (ii) an employment practices liability insurance policy. Each such policy shall cover the Executive with scope, exclusions, amounts and deductibles no less favorable to the insured than those applicable to the Company’s senior executive officers and directors on the Effective Date, or any more favorable as may be available to any other director or senior executive officer of the Company, while the Executive is employed with the Company and thereafter until the sixth anniversary of the Executive’s Scheduled Termination Date (as defined below).

(g) The Company shall reimburse the Executive for all reasonable business expenses upon the presentation of statements of such expenses in accordance with the Company’s policies and procedures now in force or as such policies and procedures may be modified with respect to all senior executive officers of the Company.

4. Employment Period. The Employment Period commenced on May 7, 2013, and shall terminate on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date (the “Initial Term”), provided that on the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date and on each anniversary thereafter, the Employment Period shall automatically be extended for additional one-year periods unless either party provides the other party with notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days before any such anniversary (the anniversary date on which the Employment Period terminates shall be referred to herein as the “Scheduled Termination Date”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated during the Employment Period prior to the Scheduled Termination Date upon the earliest to occur of any one of the following events (at which time the Employment Period shall be terminated):

(a) Death. The Executive’s employment hereunder shall terminate upon his death.

(b) Disability. The Company shall be entitled to terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Disability. For purposes of this Amended Agreement, “Disability” means the Executive’s inability by reason of physical or mental illness to fulfill his obligations hereunder for one hundred twenty (120) consecutive days or a total of

3

one hundred eighty (180) days in any twelve (12)-month period which, in the reasonable opinion of an independent physician selected by the Company or its insurers and reasonably acceptable to the Executive or the Executive’s legal representative, renders the Executive unable to perform the essential functions of his job, even after reasonable accommodations are made by the Company.

(c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder for Cause. For purposes of this Amended Agreement, the term “Cause” shall mean:

(i) conviction (or a plea of nolo contendere) by the Executive to a felony;

(ii) acts of fraud, dishonesty or misappropriation committed by the Executive and intended to result in substantial personal enrichment at the expense of the Company;

(iii) willful misconduct by the Executive in the performance of the Executive’s material duties required by this Amended Agreement which is likely to materially damage the financial position or reputation of the Company which is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Executive of a Notice of Termination (as defined under Section 5 below) from the Company; or

(iv) a material breach of this Amended Agreement by the Executive which is not cured within thirty (30) days following receipt by the Executive of a Notice of Termination from the Company.

The foregoing is an exclusive list of the acts or omissions that shall be considered Cause. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the termination of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for cause unless and until (A) the Board shall have provided the Executive with a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 5 below) specifying in detail the basis for the termination of employment for Cause and the provision(s) under this Amended Agreement on which such termination is based, and (B) in the case of subsections (iii) and (iv) above, the Executive shall have had the opportunity to cure such breach within the time period specified, and (C) in all cases where Cause is alleged, the Executive shall have had a reasonable opportunity to prepare and present his case to the full Board (with the assistance of his own counsel) before any termination for Cause is finalized by a vote of a majority of the Board, including a majority of independent directors (not including the vote of the Executive).

For purposes of this Amended Agreement, no act or failure to act of the Executive shall be willful or intentional if performed in good faith with the reasonable belief that the action or inaction was in the best interest of the Company. In addition, nothing herein shall limit or otherwise prevent the Executive from challenging judicially any determination of Cause as made by the Board hereunder.

(d) Without Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive’s employment hereunder during the Employment Period without Cause. For purposes of this Amended Agreement, a notice of non-renewal given by the Company as provided in Section 4 above shall be treated as a termination of employment by the Company without Cause.

4

(e) For Good Reason. The Executive may terminate his employment hereunder for Good Reason. For purposes of this Amended Agreement, “Good Reason” shall mean: (i) a material breach of this Amended Agreement by the Company (including the Company’s withholding or failure to pay compensation when due to the Executive); (ii) relocation of the Company’s headquarters or the location where the Executive works, to a location outside of Greenwood Village, Colorado; (iii) a material reduction in the Executive’s titles, duties, authority, or responsibilities, or the assignment to the Executive of any duties materially inconsistent with the Executive’s position, authority, duties, or responsibilities without the written consent of the Executive; (iv) a reduction in the Executive’s annual Base Salary or Annual Bonus opportunity or other compensation, as currently in effect or as may be increased from time to time, including, but not limited to, elimination or reduction in the Executive’s participation in the Incentive Plan for reasons other than those specified in such plan; (v) the failure of the Company to nominate the Executive for election as a member of the Board; (vi) the failure of the Company’s stockholders to elect the Executive as a member of the Board; (vii) the removal of the Executive as a member of the Board by the Company’s stockholders; or (viii) the failure of the Board to elect the Executive as its Chairman; as each such term is defined herein. With respect to the acts or omissions set forth in this subsection 4(e), (A) the Executive shall provide the Board with a Notice of Termination (as defined in Section 5 below) specifying in detail the basis for the termination of employment for Good Reason and the provision(s) under this Amended Agreement on which such termination is based, (B) the Company shall have thirty (30) days to cure the matters specified in the notice delivered, and (C) if uncured, the Executive must terminate his employment with the Company within ninety (90) days after the initial existence of the circumstances constituting Good Reason in order for such termination to be considered to be for Good Reason.

(f) Voluntarily. The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment hereunder, without Good Reason, provided that the Executive provides the Company with notice of his intent to terminate his employment at least thirty (30) days in advance of the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 5 below).

(g) Retirement. The Executive may voluntarily terminate his employment hereunder at any time by reason of Retirement. For purposes of this Amended Agreement, “Retirement” shall mean the Executive’s voluntary termination of his employment upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Executive has reached (or will reach on or after the Date of Termination) the age of 60 along with at least 18 years of employment with the Company (for purposes of this Amended Agreement, it is agreed that Executive’s employment with the Company commenced on November 1, 2000); and (ii) the Executive provides the Company with a Notice of Termination stating his intent to terminate his employment due to Retirement at least ninety (90) days in advance of the Date of Termination (as defined in Section 5 below).

5

(b) Date of Termination. “Date of Termination” shall mean (i) if the Executive’s employment is terminated by his death, the date of his death, (ii) if the Executive’s employment is terminated due to his Disability pursuant to Section 4(b) above, on the date the Executive receives Notice of Termination from the Company, (iii) if the Executive voluntarily terminates his employment (whether or not for Good Reason), the date specified in the notice given pursuant to Section 4(e) above which shall not be less than thirty (30) days after the Notice of Termination (or ninety (90) days in event of Retirement), and (iv) if the Executive’s employment is terminated for any other reason, the date on which a Notice of Termination is given or any later date (within thirty (30) days, or any alternative time period agreed upon by the parties, after the giving of such notice) set forth in such Notice of Termination (subject to the rights granted to the Executive under Section 4(c) above.

6. Termination Payments.

(a) Without Cause or for Good Reason. In the event the Employment Period terminates under this Amended Agreement as a result of the Company terminating the Executive’s employment without Cause (other than pursuant to Sections 4(a) or 4(b)) or the Executive terminating his employment for Good Reason:

(i) The Company shall pay to the Executive, upon the Date of Termination:

(A) the Executive’s accrued but unused vacation, unreimbursed business expenses and Base Salary through the Date of Termination (to the extent not theretofore paid) (the “Accrued Benefits”) and three (3) times the Executive’s Base Salary, in each case payable in a lump sum (the “Base Severance”);

(B) in lieu of any Annual Bonus under Section 3(b) for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminates, a lump sum amount equal to the Annual Bonus that would have become payable in cash to the Executive for that fiscal year if his employment had not terminated, based on performance actually achieved in that year (determined by the Board following completion of the performance year and paid at the time specified in the applicable plan), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive was employed in the fiscal year of termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year of termination; provided that if the Date of Termination is during the Initial Term the amount received shall be no less than the maximum allowable annual bonus that the Executive could have been paid for such year pursuant to the terms of this Amended Agreement;

(C) any stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and other equity awards to be granted to the Executive under any of the Company’s equity incentive plans (or awards substituted therefore covering the securities of a successor company) (each, an “Equity Award”), that the Executive would have received for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminated as though his employment had not terminated and assuming that all conditions or parameters to such receipt at the target level have been fully satisfied, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the

6

Executive was employed in the fiscal year of termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year of termination. To the extent the performance period related to an Equity Award is in excess of a single fiscal year, the calculation shall be based on a numerator which is the number of days the Executive was employed in the performance period and the denominator which is the total days in the performance period; and

(D) any Annual Bonus(es) and Equity Awards that Executive earned for any fiscal year(s) prior to the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminated to the extent that such Annual Bonus(es) and Equity Awards had not yet been paid or granted before the Date of Termination.

(ii) The Company shall pay the employer’s portion of the Executive’s COBRA premiums during any time in which the Executive elects COBRA continuation coverage for up to thirty (30) months following the Date of Termination, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Company’s medical plan; provided, however, that if the Executive is or becomes eligible to receive comparable medical benefits under another employer provided plan, the Company’s obligation to make COBRA payments described herein shall be terminated. The Executive shall promptly notify the Company of any changes in his eligibility for medical benefits coverage.

(iii) Notwithstanding the cessation of Executive’s employment, all outstanding and then unvested Equity Awards (including the Restricted Stock and RSUs specified in Section 3(c) above and any Equity Awards specified in Sections 6(a)(i)(C) and (D) above) shall be deemed vested as of the Date of Termination.

(iv) To the extent not theretofore paid or provided, the Company shall timely pay or provide to the Executive any vested benefits and other amounts or benefits required to be paid or provided or which the Executive is eligible to receive as of the Termination Date under any plan, program, policy, practice, contract, or agreement of the Company and its affiliates (such other amounts and benefits shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Other Benefits”).

(v) If the Date of Termination under this Section 6(a) occurs within the twenty four (24)-month period following a Change in Control, the Company shall, in addition to the other payments provided for in this Section 6(a) (other than subsections 6(a)(i)(A) and (B) above), pay the Executive an amount equal to three (3) times the higher of: (A) the sum of the Executive’s annual Base Salary and target Annual Bonus for the year in which the Date of Termination occurs; or (B) the sum of Executive’s average annual Base Salary and average Annual Bonus for the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the Date of Termination; in a lump sum, upon the Date of Termination. For purposes of this Amended Agreement, “Change in Control” shall have the meaning specified on Exhibit A attached hereto.

(vi) For the avoidance of doubt, upon a termination of the Employment Period without Cause or as a result of Good Reason, the Executive shall not be entitled to any other compensation or benefits not expressly provided for in this Section 6(a), regardless of the time that would otherwise remain in the Employment Period had the

7

Employment Period not been terminated without Cause or for Good Reason. Except as provided in this Section 6(a), any vested benefits under any tax qualified pension plans of the Company, and continuation of health insurance benefits on the terms and to the extent required by Section 4980B of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) and Section 601 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (which provisions are commonly known as “COBRA”) or such other analogous legislation as may be applicable to the Executive, the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Amended Agreement.

(vii) The payments and benefits provided under this Section 6(a) are subject to and conditioned upon (A) the Executive executing a timely and valid release of claims (“Release”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, waiving all claims the Executive may have against the Company, it successors, assigns, affiliates, executives, officers and directors, (B) the Executive delivering the executed Release to the Company within twenty-one days following the Date of Termination (the “Release Period”), (C) such Release and the waiver contained therein becoming effective, and (D) the Executive’s compliance with the restrictive covenants contained in Sections 9 and 10 of this Amended Agreement. In the event that the Release Period spans two of the Executive’s taxable years, the payments and benefits provided under this Section 6(a) must be made in the second of the two taxable years. In the event that payments are made hereunder prior to the execution of the Release and the Executive does not execute the Release in the time and manner set forth herein, the Executive shall promptly pay to the Company, together with interest from the date of payment to the date of repayment at the prime rate, such amounts or the value of such benefits so received.

(b) Cause or Other than for Good Reason, Death, Retirement or Disability. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period by the Company for Cause or by the Executive other than for Good Reason, the Executive’s death, Retirement or Disability, then the Company shall pay the Executive upon the Date of Termination the Accrued Benefits and the Other Benefits and any benefits or compensation provided under the Equity Agreements which shall be paid in accordance with such agreements. Except as provided in this Section 6(b) or with respect to any vested benefits under any tax qualified pension plans of the Company and the continuation of health insurance benefits on the terms and to the extent required by COBRA or any other analogous legislation as may be applicable to the Executive, the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Amended Agreement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Executive will not be required to execute a Release (see, e.g., Section 6(a)(vii) above) to receive the payments and benefits under this Section 6(b).

(c) Disability, Retirement or Death. If the Executive’s employment is terminated during the Employment Period as a result of the Executive’s death, Retirement or Disability, then:

(i) the Company shall pay or grant, as applicable, the Executive or the Executive’s estate, as the case may be, within thirty (30) days following the Date of Termination:

8

(A) the Accrued Benefits and Other Benefits and any benefits or compensation to be paid under the Equity Agreements;

(B) any Equity Awards that the Executive would have received for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminated as though his employment had not terminated and assuming that all conditions or parameters to such receipt at the target level have been fully satisfied; multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive was employed in the fiscal year of termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year of termination; provided, however, that if such fraction is less than or equal to 50%, then the Executive will not receive any Equity Awards for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminated. To the extent the performance period related to an Equity Award is in excess of a single fiscal year, the calculation shall be based on a numerator which is the number of days the Executive was employed in the performance period and the denominator which is the total days in the performance period;

(C) in lieu of any Annual Bonus under Section 3(b) for the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminates, a lump sum amount equal to the Annual Bonus that would have become payable in cash to the Executive for that fiscal year if his employment had not terminated, based on performance actually achieved in that year (determined by the Board following completion of the performance year and paid at the time specified in the applicable plan), multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days the Executive was employed in the fiscal year of termination and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the fiscal year of termination; and

(D) any Annual Bonus(es) and Equity Awards that Executive earned for any fiscal year(s) prior to the fiscal year in which the Executive’s employment terminated to the extent that such Annual Bonus(es) and Equity Awards had not yet been paid or granted before the Date of Termination;

(ii) notwithstanding the cessation of Executive’s employment, all outstanding and then unvested Equity Awards (including the Restricted Stock and RSUs specified in Section 3(c) above and any Equity Awards specified in Sections 6(c)(i)(B) and (D) above) shall be deemed vested as of the Date of Termination; however, if the Executive’s employment is terminated as a result of Executive’s Retirement, any outstanding but unvested Restricted Stock shall be excluded from the foregoing vesting as of the Date of Termination;

(iii) the Company shall pay the employer’s portion of the Executive’s COBRA premiums during any time in which the Executive (or the Executive’s spouse in the event of the Executive’s death or Disability) elects COBRA continuation coverage for up to thirty (30) months following the Date of Termination, to the extent permitted under the terms of the Company’s medical plan; provided, however, that if the Executive (or the Executive’s spouse in the event of the Executive’s death or Disability) is or becomes eligible to receive comparable medical benefits under another employer provided plan, then the Company’s obligation to make COBRA payments described herein shall be terminated. The Executive (or the Executive’s spouse in the event of the Executive’s death or Disability) shall promptly notify the Company of any changes in his (or her) eligibility for medical benefits coverage.

9

(iv) except as provided in this Section 6(c), or pursuant to the terms of the Equity Agreements, and except for any vested benefits under any tax qualified pension plans of the Company, and continuation of health insurance benefits on the terms and to the extent required by COBRA or any other analogous legislation as may be applicable to the Executive, the Company shall have no additional obligations under this Amended Agreement.

(v) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Executive will be required to execute a Release (see, e.g., Section 6(a)(vii) above) to receive the payments, grants, vesting and benefits under this Section 6(c).

7. Excise Tax Limitation.

(a) Payment Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Amended Agreement (or in any other agreement between the Executive and the Company) to the contrary, to the extent that any payments and benefits provided under this Amended Agreement or any other plan or agreement of the Company (such payments or benefits are collectively referred to as the “Payments”) would be subject to the excise tax (the “Excise Tax”) imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, the Payments shall be reduced if and to the extent that a reduction in the Payments would result in the Executive retaining a larger amount, on an after-tax basis (taking into account federal, state and local income taxes and the Excise Tax), than he would have retained had he been entitled to receive all of the Payments (such reduced amount is hereinafter referred to as the “Limited Payment Amount”). The Company shall reduce the Payments by first reducing or eliminating payments or benefits which are not payable in cash and then by reducing or eliminating cash payments, In each case in reverse order beginning with payments or benefits which are to be paid the farthest in time from the date the “Determination” (as defined in Section 7(b) below) is delivered to the Company and the Executive.

(b) Determination and Dispute. The determination as to whether the Payments shall be reduced to the Limited Payment Amount and the amount of such Limited Payment Amount (the “Determination”) shall be made at the Company’s expense by an accounting or consulting firm selected by the Company and reasonably acceptable to the Executive (the “Firm”). The Firm shall provide the Determination in writing, together with detailed supporting calculations and documentation, to the Company and the Executive on or prior to the effective date of termination of the Executive’s employment if applicable, or at such other time as requested by the Company or by the Executive. Within ten (10) days of the delivery of the Determination to the Executive, the Executive shall have the right to dispute the Determination (the “Dispute”) in writing setting forth the precise basis of the dispute. If there is no Dispute, the Determination shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Company and the Executive.

(c) Excise Tax is Obligation of the Executive. Any Excise Tax with respect to the Executive’s Payments shall be the sole obligation of the Executive, subject to any tax withholding obligation imposed on the Company with respect thereto.

10

8. Compliance with Section 409(A). This Amended Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. The payments to the Executive pursuant to this Amended Agreement are also intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Code to the maximum extent possible, under either the separation pay exemption pursuant to Treasury regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(9)(iii) or as short-term deferrals pursuant to Treasury regulation § 1.409A-1(b)(4). In the event the terms of this Amended Agreement would subject the Executive to taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code (“409A Penalties”), the Company and the Executive shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of the Amended Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible; provided that such amendment shall not increase or reduce (in the aggregate) the amounts payable to the Executive hereunder. Any payments due pursuant to this Amended Agreement shall be payable to the Executive no later than two-and-a-half months following the end of the taxable year in which the payments are earned (subject to a reasonable delay in payment due to an unforeseeable event making it administratively impracticable to make the payment by such time), and in no event shall the payments be made later than the end of the taxable year following the taxable year in which the payments are earned. Any taxable reimbursement payable to the Executive pursuant to this Amended Agreement shall be paid to the Executive no later than the last day of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Executive incurred the reimbursable expense. Any amount of expenses eligible for taxable reimbursement, or such in-kind benefit provided, during a calendar year shall not affect the amount of such expenses eligible for reimbursement, or such in-kind benefit to be provided, during any other calendar year. The right to such reimbursement or such in-kind benefits pursuant to this Amended Agreement shall not be subject to liquidation or exchange for any other benefit. Any right to a series of installment payments pursuant to this Amended Agreement is to be treated as a right to a series of separate payments.

9. Protection of Trade Secrets and Confidential Information.

(a) Acknowledgments Regarding “Confidential Information”. In performing his duties as an executive of the Company, the Executive acknowledges that he will have access to documents, trade secrets, and other confidential and proprietary information which consists of information known by the Executive as a consequence of his employment with the Company (including information originated, discovered and/or developed by the Executive).

The Executive acknowledges that the Company has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information, and that the Company must maintain the confidentiality of such information and use it only for authorized purposes. The Executive shall not use or disclose any such information except as authorized by the Company or the third party to whom the information belongs.

(e) Ownership of Works. The Executive agrees to promptly disclose in writing to the Company all inventions, discoveries, developments, improvements and innovations (collectively referred to as “Inventions”) that the Executive has conceived or made during his employment with the Company; provided, however, that in this context “Inventions” are limited to those which (i) relate in any manner to the existing or contemplated business or research activities of the Company and its affiliates; (ii) are suggested by or result from the Executive’s work at the Company; or (iii) result from the use of the time, materials or facilities of the Company and its affiliates. All Inventions will be the Company’s property rather than the Executive’s. Should the Company request it, the Executive agrees to sign any document that the Company may reasonably require to establish ownership in any Invention.

10. Unfair Competition. To protect the interests of the Company and its Confidential Information, and in consideration of the covenants and promises and other valuable consideration described in this Amended Agreement, the Executive agrees as follows:

12

(a) Non-Compete. The Executive will not, at any time during his employment and for a period of two (2) years following termination of employment by the Company for Cause, or by the Executive without Good Reason, acting alone or in conjunction with others, directly or indirectly, engage (either as owner, investor, partner, stockholder, lender, employer, employee, consultant, advisor, member, or director) in any aspect of a Residential Project (as defined in Section 10(a)(ii) below) in the Geographic Region (defined below), including, but not limited to, any land acquisition, land development, entitlements or construction, marketing, sale, financing or management of any Residential Project.

(i) The Executive acknowledges that in light of his position, duties and responsibilities with the Company, the Executive will have access to and be familiar with the Company’s Confidential Information and trade secrets for each such Residential Project, and that this two (2) year non-compete provision is narrowly tailored and reasonable to protect the Company’s Confidential Information and trade secrets.

(ii) For purposes of this Section, the term “Residential Project” shall mean any residential building project for which the Company has invested resources, performed due diligence, planned land development and/or initiated real estate acquisitions during the Executive’s employment with the Company.

(iii) For purposes of this Section, the term “Geographic Region” shall mean (i) any and all counties in any state in which the Company has engaged in any Residential Project in the past or in which it is currently conducting any Residential Project, and (ii) any and all other counties in any state that the Company engages in any Residential Project in the future during the Executive’s employment with the Company.

(iv) It is agreed that the ownership of not more than five percent of the equity securities of any company having securities listed on an exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market shall not be deemed inconsistent with this Section 10.

(v) It will not be a violation of this Section 10 or of Section 10(c) below for Executive to acquire, invest, manage, construct, develop or dispose of the Executive’s investments in apartments for-rent, multi-family properties, and non-residential real estate, directly or directly, in any capacity.

(b) Non-Solicitation of Company Employees. The Executive agrees that the Company has invested substantial time and effort in assembling and training its present staff of personnel. Accordingly, the Executive agrees that for a period of two (2) years following termination of employment by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without Good Reason, the Executive will not directly or indirectly induce or solicit or seek to induce or solicit on behalf of employee or others any of the Company’s employees to leave employment with the Company.

(c) Non-Solicitation of Clients and Suppliers. The Executive agrees that the Company’s relationships with its Clients and Suppliers are solely the assets and property of the Company. The Executive agrees that for a period of two (2) years following termination of the Executive’s employment by the Company for Cause or by the Executive without

13

Good Reason, the Executive shall not directly or through others solicit or attempt to solicit any of the Company’s Clients and/or Suppliers for the purpose of providing products or services competitive to those offered by the Company. This restriction applies only to those Clients and/or Suppliers with whom the Executive had material contact on behalf of the Company. “Material contact” means: (i) direct personal contact with a Supplier or Client for the purpose of, respectively, purchasing real estate, materials or services for use by the Company or selling the Company’s real estate, products or services to Clients or (ii) any direct supervision of direct personal contacts other employees of the Company may have with Suppliers and/or Clients. “Clients and Suppliers” are those clients or suppliers with whom the Executive had material contact within one (1) year prior to the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company. The terms “Client” and “Supplier” shall also include prospective Clients and Suppliers of the Company.

(d) Acknowledgments. The Executive acknowledges that the foregoing restriction on competition is fair and reasonable, given the nature and scope of the Company’s business operations and the nature of the Executive’s position with the Company. The Executive also acknowledges that while employed by the Company, the Executive will have access to information that would be valuable or useful to the Company’s competitors, and therefore acknowledges that the foregoing restrictions on the Executive’s future employment and business activities are fair and reasonable.

(e) Acknowledgments of Law. The Executive acknowledges the following provisions of Colorado law, set forth in Colorado Revised Statutes § 8-2-113(2):

Any covenant not to compete which restricts the right of any person to receive compensation for performance of skilled or unskilled labor for any employer shall be void, but this subsection (2) shall not apply to:

any contract for the protection of trade secrets; or

executive and management personnel and officers and employees who constitute professional staff to executive and management personnel.

The Executive acknowledges that this Amended Agreement is a contract for the protection of trade secrets within the meaning of § 8-2-113(2)(b) and is intended to protect the Confidential Information identified above and that the Executive qualifies as executive personnel within the meaning of § 8-2-113(2)(d).

(f) Enforcement of Restrictive Covenants. The Executive agrees and acknowledges that the remedies at law for any breach by the Executive of the provisions of this Amended Agreement will be inadequate and that the Executive shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against the Executive from a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of any breach of any provision of this Amended Agreement, in addition to seeking monetary damages as afforded by Section 6 of his Amended Agreement and applicable law.

11. Miscellaneous.

(a) Any notice or other communication required or permitted under this Amended Agreement shall be effective only if it is in writing and shall be deemed to be given when delivered personally or four days after it is mailed by registered or certified mail, postage

14

prepaid, return receipt requested or one day after it is sent by a reputable overnight courier service and, in each case, addressed as follows (or if it is sent through any other method agreed upon by the parties):

or to such other address as any party hereto may designate by notice to the others.

(b) This Amended Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the parties hereto, and any provision hereof may be waived only by an instrument in writing signed by the party or parties against whom or which enforcement of such waiver is sought. The failure of any party hereto at any time to require the performance by any other party hereto of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter, nor shall the waiver by any party hereto of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of any succeeding breach of such provision or a waiver of the provision itself or a waiver of any other provision of this Amended Agreement.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that each party has reviewed and negotiated the terms and provisions of this Amended Agreement and has had the opportunity to contribute to its revision. Accordingly, the rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Amended Agreement. Rather, the terms of this Amended Agreement shall be construed fairly as to both parties hereto and not in favor or against either party.

(d) The parties hereto hereby represent that they each have the authority to enter into this Amended Agreement, and the Executive hereby represents to the Company that the execution of, and performance of duties under, this Amended Agreement shall not constitute a breach of or otherwise violate any other agreement to which the Executive is a party. The Executive hereby further represents to the Company that he will not utilize or disclose any confidential information obtained by the Executive in connection with any former employment with respect to his duties and responsibilities hereunder.

15

(e) The Executive acknowledges that he has had a full and complete opportunity to consult with counsel and other advisors of his own choosing concerning the terms, enforceability and implications of this Amended Agreement, and that the Company has not made any representations or warranties to the Executive concerning the terms, enforceability or implications of this Amended Agreement other than as reflected in this Amended Agreement.

(f) This Amended Agreement is binding on and is for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns, heirs, executors, administrators and other legal representatives. Neither this Amended Agreement nor any right or obligation hereunder may be assigned by the Executive.

(g) The Company shall require any successor (whether direct or indirect, by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise) to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the Company to assume this Amended Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent that the Company would have been required to perform it if no such succession had taken place. As used in the Amended Agreement, the “Company” shall mean both the Company as defined above and any such successor that assumes this Amended Agreement, by operation of law or otherwise.

(h) Any provision of this Amended Agreement (or portion thereof) which is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction and subject to this Section 11(h), be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability, without affecting in any way the remaining provisions thereof in such jurisdiction or rendering that or any other provisions of this Amended Agreement invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any other jurisdiction. If any covenant should be deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable because its scope is considered excessive, such covenant shall be modified so that the scope of the covenant is reduced only to the minimum extent necessary to render the modified covenant valid, legal and enforceable.

(i) As material obligations of the Company hereunder: the Company shall employ Robert J. Francescon as its Co-Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors; the Company shall not terminate the employment of Robert J. Francescon without Cause; and the Company shall not create or permit to exist any circumstance that would constitute good reason for Robert J. Francescon to terminate his employment under his employment agreement.

(j) The Executive’s or the Company’s failure to insist upon strict compliance with any provision of this Amended Agreement or the failure to assert any right the Executive or the Company may have hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or right or any other provision or right of this Amended Agreement.

(k) The Company may withhold from any amounts payable to the Executive hereunder all federal, state, city or other taxes that the Company may reasonably determine are required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation (it being understood that the Executive shall be responsible for payment of all taxes in respect of the payments and benefits provided herein).

16

(l) This Amended Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

(m) This Amended Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument. A facsimile or PDF of a signature shall be deemed to be and have the effect of an original signature.

(n) The headings in this Amended Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be a part of or control or affect the meaning of any provision hereof.

(o) This Amended Agreement shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the Executive’s employment hereunder, and supersedes and is in full substitution for any and all prior understandings or agreements (including the Prior Agreement) with respect to the Executive’s employment.

EXHIBIT A

For purposes of the Amended Agreement, “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following events:

(a) Any transaction or event resulting in the beneficial ownership of voting securities, directly or indirectly, by any “person” or “group” (as those terms are defined in Sections 3(a)(9), 13(d), and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules thereunder) having “beneficial ownership” (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (“voting securities”) of the Company that represent greater than 35% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities (unless the Executive has beneficial ownership of at least 35% of such voting securities), other than any transaction or event resulting in the beneficial ownership of securities:

(i) by a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any person controlled by the Company or by any employee benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company or any person controlled by the Company, or

(ii) by the Company or a corporation owned, directly or indirectly, by the stockholders of the Company in substantially the same proportions as their ownership of the stock of the Company, or

(iii) pursuant to a transaction described in clause (c) below that would not be a Change in Control under clause (c);

(b) Individuals who, as of the Effective Date, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election by the Company’s stockholders, or nomination for election by the Board, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a person other than the Board;

(c) The consummation by the Company (whether directly involving the Company or indirectly involving the Company through one or more intermediaries) of (i) a merger, consolidation, reorganization, or business combination, (ii) a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, or (iii) the acquisition of assets or stock of another entity, in each case, other than a transaction:

(i) which results in the Company’s voting securities outstanding immediately before the transaction continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the Company or the person that, as a result of the transaction, controls, directly or indirectly, the Company or owns, directly or indirectly, all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or otherwise succeeds to the

Exhibit A-1

business of the Company (the Company or such person, the “Successor Entity”)) directly or indirectly, greater than 25% of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity’s outstanding voting securities immediately after the transaction, and

(ii) after which no person or group beneficially owns voting securities representing greater than 50% of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity; provided, however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this clause (ii) as beneficially owning greater than 50% of the combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation of the transaction; or

(d) The approval by the Company’s stockholders of a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

For purposes of clause (a) above, the calculation of voting power shall be made as if the date of the acquisition were a record date for a vote of the Company’s stockholders, and for purposes of clause (c) above, the calculation of voting power shall be made as if the date of the consummation of the transaction were a record date for a vote of the Company’s stockholders.
