CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE
AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE

THIS CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE (this “Contract”) is entered into as of the last date of the signatures hereto (the “Effective Date”), by and between PCY HOLDINGS, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Seller”), and CHALLENGER DENVER, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Purchaser”).

RECITALS:

A.          Seller is developing a master planned residential community known as “Sky Ranch” which is located in Arapahoe County, Colorado (“County”). The Sky Ranch master planned residential community may also be referred to herein as the “Development”. The conceptual development plan and lotting diagram for Phase B of the Development (the “Lotting Diagram”) are attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. The Development is being platted in several subdivision filings and developed in phases. Each subdivision filing is hereinafter sometimes respectively referred to as a “Filing” and collectively as “Filings”.

B.          Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase and obtain from Seller, approximately 163 platted single family residential lots (individually referred to as a “Lot” and collectively as the “Lots”) in the Development which will be finished in accordance with this Contract and which will be used for the construction of single family residential dwellings upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.

C.          Seller is selling platted residential lots within the Development to multiple homebuilders, including Purchaser. The Lots to be sold by Seller and acquired by Purchaser that are located within the Development shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property.” The Lots will be conveyed at one or more Closings as more particularly provided herein and each such Closing may be referred to herein as a “Takedown.” The Lots which are to be conveyed at the first Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 1 Lots”; the Lots which are to be conveyed at the second Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 2 Lots”; the Lots which are to be conveyed at the third Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 3 Lots”; and the Lots which are to be conveyed at the fourth Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 4 Lots”.

D.          As of the Effective Date, the Lots have not been subdivided pursuant to a recorded final subdivision plat. The number and location of the Lots to be acquired by Purchaser are generally depicted on the Lotting Diagram. The precise number, dimension and location of the Lots will be established at the time the subdivision plat for such Lots is approved by the County and/or any other relevant governmental authority (the County any other governmental entity or authority may be referred to herein collectively as the “Authorities”, and each an “Authority”). As of the Effective Date, the parties anticipate that Purchaser will acquire approximately:

1


97 Lots that are approximately 35 feet wide by approximately 90 feet deep for the construction of detached single family alley load homes (“35’ Alley Load Lots”); and

66 Lots that are approximately 45 feet wide by approximately 110 feet deep for the construction of detached single family homes (“SFD 45’ Lots”).

E.           Following Purchaser’s acquisition of Lots, Seller will construct certain infrastructure improvements for the Lots as described on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Finished Lot Improvements”) pursuant to a lot development agreement executed by Seller and Purchaser in the form set forth on Exhibit E (“Lot Development Agreement”).

AGREEMENT:

1.          Purchase and Sale.The Property shall be purchased at four (4) Closings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, on or before the dates set forth in Section 8(b) below, the Lots in each Takedown, as generally depicted on the Lotting Diagram and as follows:

At the Takedown 1 Closing (“First Closing”), Thirty-Two (32) 35’ Alley Load Lots, and Twenty (20) SFD 45’ Lots;
 
At the Takedown 2 Closing (“Second Closing”), Twenty-Three (23) 35’ Alley Load Lots, and Twenty (20) SFD 45’ Lots;
 
At the Takedown 3 Closing (“Third Closing”), Twenty-Two (22) 35’ Alley Load Lots, and Ten (10) SFD 45’ Lots; and
 
At the Takedown 4 Closing (“Fourth Closing”), Twenty (20) 35’ Alley Load Lots, and Sixteen (16) SFD 45’ Lots.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall negotiate during the Due Diligence Period to reach agreement on a mutually acceptable site plan for the Lots (“Final Lotting Diagram”) and that the exact number and location of the Lots within each Takedown are subject to adjustment based upon the approval by the Authorities of the Final Plat (as hereinafter defined) that includes the Lots to be acquired by Purchaser at each Takedown. The precise number, dimension (subject to the provisions of this Contract), location and legal description of the Lots will be established at the time the Final Plat for such Lots is approved by the County and/or any other Authority, and upon approval of each such Final Plat the parties shall execute an amendment to this Contract setting forth the legal description of those Lots included in the approved Final Plat.
 
2.           Purchase Price.The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for each Lot (the “Purchase Price”) shall consist of the Initial Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) and the Deferred Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined). The Purchase Price for each Lot shall be calculated as provided in the following Section 2(a) and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(b) below:
 
2

(a)          Purchase Price Payments. For each Lot the Purchase Price shall be the sum of the “Initial Purchase Price” of: (i) Twenty-Four Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($24,000.00) per 35’ Alley Load Lot, and (ii) Twenty-Nine Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($29,000.00) per SFD 45’ Lot, paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire transfer or other immediately available and collectible funds (“Good Funds”), and the “Deferred Purchase Price” of (A) Forty-Eight Thousand Three Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($48,300.00) per 35’ Alley Load Lot, and (B) Fifty-Eight Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($58,000.00) per SFD 45’ Lot, paid by Purchaser to Seller in Good Funds, for a total of (1) Seventy-Two Thousand Three Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($72,300.00) per 35’ Alley Load Lot and (2) Eighty-Seven Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($87,000.00) per SFD 45’ Lot (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in Section 2(b) of this Contract). As more particularly described in Section 5(c)(iv), below, the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired by Purchaser at the First Closing shall be secured by a letter of credit delivered by Purchaser into escrow at the First Closing, the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired by Purchaser at the Second Closing shall be secured by a letter of credit delivered by Purchaser into escrow at the Second Closing, the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired by Purchaser at the Third Closing shall be secured by a letter of credit delivered by Purchaser into escrow at the Third Closing, and the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired by Purchaser at the Fourth Closing shall be secured by a letter of credit delivered by Purchaser into escrow at the Fourth Closing.
 
(b)         Purchase Price Escalator. Any and all portions of the Purchase Price of each Lot that is to be paid after the occurrence of the First Closing will increase by an amount equal to the amount of simple interest that would accrue thereon for the period elapsing between the date that the First Closing occurs until the date such amount is paid, at a per annum rate equal to four percent (4%) per annum (the “Escalator”). The Escalator applies to both the Initial Purchase Price and the Deferred Purchase Price. By way of example and for clarification purposes only, if the Purchase Price of a Lot at the Closing of the Takedown 1 Lots is $60,000 then at a subsequent Closing occurring 12 months (365 days) following the date of the closing of the Takedown 1 Lots, the Purchase Price for the same type of Lot at such subsequent Closing will be $62,400.00, which is calculated as follows: $60,000 + ($60,000 x .04) = $62,400.00. If the Initial Purchase Price for such Lot to be acquired at the subsequent closing is $20,000, then the Initial Purchase Price for such Lot to be paid at the subsequent closing will be $20,800 [calculated as follows: $20,000 + ($20,000 x .04) = $20,800.00]. Likewise, if one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price of Lot acquired at the closing of the Takedown 1 Lot is due and payable 24 months following the date of the closing of the Takedown 1 Lots then one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price that will be due and payable will be $21,600 [calculated as follows: $20,000 + ($20,000 x .04) + ($20,000 x .04) = $21,600.00]. The Purchase Price Escalator shall not accrue or be calculated during extension periods requested by Seller and in no event be calculated beyond 24 months from the previous Closing, except in the event of delays resulting from Purchaser’s actions, defaults, or as a result of Uncontrollable Events.
 
3.           Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each of the Lots, as determined pursuant to Section 2 above, shall be payable as follows:
 
3

(a)         Earnest Money Deposit. Within three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company (as defined in Section 4(a) hereof) an earnest money deposit in the amount of $100,000.00 (the “Initial Deposit”). At the end of the Due Diligence Period and within three (3) business days after delivery of the Continuation Notice (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deliver to Title Company an additional deposit in the amount of $100,000.00 (the “Additional Deposit”). The Initial Deposit and the Additional Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be referred to herein as the “Deposit”. The Title Company will act as escrow agent and invest the earnest money deposit in a federally insured institution at the highest money market rate available. The Deposit shall be paid in Good Funds. The Deposit shall be applied on a pro-rata basis to the Initial Purchase Price due at each Closing. If this Contract is terminated prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period for any reason, the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser. If this Contract is terminated after the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Deposit being fully applied to the Purchase Price at the last Closing, the unapplied portion of the Deposit shall be paid to Seller, except in the case of a termination of this Contract pursuant to a provision that expressly entitles Purchaser to a refund of the Deposit as provided elsewhere herein.
 
(b)         Initial Purchase Price. That portion of the Purchase Price for each Lot that is identified as the Initial Purchase Price and calculated as provided in Section 2 above shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller in Good Funds at the Closing that is applicable to the Lot.
 
(c)         Deferred Purchase Price. That portion of the Purchase Price for each Lot that is identified as the Deferred Purchase Price in Section 2 above is due and payable by Purchaser to Seller, as provided in and pursuant to the terms of the Lot Development Agreement.
 
4

4.           Seller’s Title.
 
(a)       Preliminary Title Commitment. Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall furnish to Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, a current commitment for a Title Policy (as defined below) for the Property (the “Master Commitment”) issued by Land Title Guarantee Company (“Title Company”) as agent for First American Title Insurance Company, together with copies of the instruments listed in the schedule of exceptions in the Master Commitment. If the Master Commitment contains any exceptions from coverage which are unacceptable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall object to the condition of the Master Commitment in writing within sixty (60) days of Purchaser’s receipt of the Master Commitment together with copies of all documents constituting exceptions to title (the “Title Objections”). Upon receipt of the Title Objections, Seller may, at its option and at its sole cost and expense, clear the title to the Property of the Title Objections within twenty (20) days of receipt of the Title Objections. In the event Seller fails, or elects not to clear the title to the Property of the Title Objections on or before the date that is ten (10) days before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Purchaser, as its sole remedy, may elect before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period either: (i) to terminate this Contract, in which event the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property and any non-confidential and non-proprietary information otherwise obtained by Purchaser pertaining to the Property, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract except as otherwise provided in Section 12(c) below; or (ii) to waive such objections and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the title matters as to which its Title Objections have been waived. If Purchaser fails to provide the Title Objections prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period required by this Section 4(a), Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its objections as described in the preceding clause. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Contract or waive it objections, Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its objections to any title matter that Seller has failed or elected not to cure. Seller shall release at or prior to the applicable Closing any monetary lien that Seller caused or created against the Property with respect to that portion of the Property to be acquired at a particular Closing other than non-delinquent real estate taxes and assessments and Permitted Exceptions, and such monetary liens shall not constitute Permitted Exceptions (as hereinafter defined). At each Closing, without the need for Purchaser to object to the same in Purchaser’s Title Objections, Seller shall execute and deliver the Title Company’s standard form mechanic’s lien affidavit (the “Lien Affidavit”) in connection with the standard printed exception for liens arising against the Lots purchased at the Closing for work or materials ordered or contracted for by Seller, and to the extent required by the Title Company a commercially reasonable indemnity agreement (the “Title Company Indemnity”), provided, however, if Purchaser determines during the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company refuses or is unwilling to delete the standard printed exception for liens as part of extended coverage despite Seller’s offer to execute and deliver the Lien Affidavit and Title Company Indemnity, then Purchaser will have the right to terminate this Contract on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period whereupon the Initial Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, or Purchaser may proceed with the Closing in which event the Title Policy will contain, and the Lots will be conveyed subject to, the standard printed exception for liens unless the Title Company agrees thereafter to delete such lien exception, however, the Purchaser shall have no further termination rights if the Title Company does not agree to do so. If the Title Company agrees during the Due Diligence Period to delete the standard printed exception for liens as part of extended coverage and thereafter the Title Company refuses to delete the exception for liens based on Seller’s offer to execute and deliver the Lien Affidavit and Title Company Indemnity, then such exception shall be deemed a Non-Seller Caused Exception (as hereinafter defined) to which Purchaser shall have the right to object pursuant to Section 4(b). Seller shall request that the Takedown Commitment (as hereinafter defined) provide for the deletion of the other standard printed exceptions from the Title Policy (provided that Seller’s only obligation with respect thereto shall be (i) to provide a copy of Seller’s existing survey (“Survey”), if any, of the land that contains the Lots, obtain and furnish, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a plat certification issued by a licensed surveyor (“Plat Certificate”) if and to the extent a Plat Certificate is required by the Title Company as a requirement to delete the standard survey exception, (ii) to execute the Title Company’s standard form seller-owner final affidavit and agreement as reasonably modified by Seller and as to Seller’s acts only if such affidavit is required by the Title Company for the purpose of deleting any exception for parties in possession (“Owner’s Affidavit”), and (iii) to execute the Title Company’s Lien Affidavit with respect to Seller’s acts, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Seller). Seller has no obligation to provide a new Survey or to update any existing Survey.
 
5

(b)         Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the each Closing, at Seller’s expense, Purchaser may request that the Title Company issue an updated title commitment for that portion of the Property to be acquired at such Closing (each a “Takedown Commitment”), together with copies of any additional instruments listed in the schedule of exceptions which are not reflected in the Master Commitment furnished pursuant to Section 4(a) above or in any prior Takedown Commitment. Additional items disclosed by a Takedown Commitment or by an amendment to the Master Commitment that affect title to the subject Property are referred to as “New Exceptions”. New Exceptions affecting title to the subject Property that are allowed by the provisions of this Contract are referred to as “Permissible New Exceptions” and all other New Exceptions are referred to as “Other New Exceptions”. Purchaser has no right to object to any Permissible New Exception. Other New Exceptions which do not materially adversely affect title to a Lot, or Purchaser’s ability to construct Homes (as hereinafter defined) thereon, shall also be Permissible New Exceptions. Purchaser shall have a period of seven (7) days from the date of its receipt of such Takedown Commitment or amendment to the Master Commitment and a copy of the New Exceptions (the “New Exception Review Period”) to review and to approve or disapprove any Other New Exceptions. If any Other New Exception is unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall object to such Other New Exception(s) in writing within seven (7) days after the date of Purchaser’s receipt of the Takedown Commitment, together with a copy of the New Exceptions (the “New Exception Objection”). Upon receipt of the New Exception Objection, Seller shall cure the New Exception Objection (by deletion, insuring over or endorsement) to the extent that such Other New Exception was caused or created by Seller and is not otherwise permitted by this Contract (“Seller Caused Exception”). If the New Exception Objection relates to an Other New Exception that was not caused by Seller (“Non-Seller Caused Exception”), Seller may, at its sole discretion, cure the New Exception Objection, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the New Exception Objection (“Seller Cure Period”) and the applicable Closing Date will be extended to accommodate the Seller Cure Period. In the event Seller fails, or elects not to cure a Non-Seller Caused Exception within such fifteen (15) day period, the Purchaser, as its sole remedy, may elect within five (5) days after the end of the Seller Cure Period either: (i) to terminate this Contract, in which event that portion of the Deposit not previously applied to the Purchase Price at a Closing, shall be refunded to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract; or (ii) to waive such objection and proceed with the applicable Takedown, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Contract in accordance with the foregoing sentences within five (5) days after the expiration of the Seller Cure Period (i) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its objections as described in the preceding sentences and (ii) all such items shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.
 
(c)         Permitted Exceptions; Additional Easements. Seller shall convey title to the Lots included in each Takedown of the Property to Purchaser at the Closing for such Takedown subject to the Permitted Exceptions described in Section 9 hereof. Prior to each Closing, Seller shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth below and those Reservations and Covenants (as hereinafter defined) as set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto, and provided Seller shall advise and provide copies of same to Purchaser promptly after Seller becomes aware of same, to convey additional easements as Permissible New Exceptions to utility and cable service providers, governmental or quasi-governmental Authorities, metropolitan, water and sanitation districts, homeowners associations or property owners associations or other entities that serve the Development or adjacent property for construction of utilities and other facilities to support the Development or such adjacent property, including but not limited to sanitary sewer, water lines, electric, cable, broad-band and telephone transmission, storm drainage and construction access easements across the Property not yet acquired by Purchaser, allowing Seller or its assignees the right to install and maintain sanitary sewer, water lines, cable television, broad-band, electric, telephone and other utilities on the Property and on the adjacent property owned by Seller and/or its affiliates, and further, to accommodate storm drainage from the adjacent property. Such easements shall require the restoration of any surface damage or disturbance caused by the exercise of such easements, shall not be located within the building envelope of any Lot or materially negatively impact any Home constructed thereon, and shall not materially detract from the value, use or enjoyment of (i) the Lots affected or the remaining portion of the Property on which such easements are to be located, or (ii) any adjoining property of Purchaser.

(d)         Master Covenants; Regional Improvements Authority. The Lots to be acquired pursuant to this Contract shall be, prior to each Closing, made subject to the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Sky Ranch recorded in the County Records on August 10, 2018, at Reception No. ###-###-#### (the “Master Declaration”). The Master Declaration, together with any supplemental declarations which have been, or may in the future be, recorded against the Property, shall be collectively referred to as the “Master Covenants”. The Master Covenants are administered by the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (“CAB”) and shall be a Permitted Exception (as hereinafter defined). Seller shall provide to Purchaser for its review, a copy of the Master Covenants as part of the Seller Documents (as hereinafter defined). Seller shall be permitted to revise or supplement the Master Covenants at any time before the First Closing under this Contract without the consent of Purchaser but with prior notice and copies of same to Purchaser; provided, that any such revision has no material adverse effect on the Lots acquired or to be acquired by Purchaser. The Seller may petition the County for the organization of a public improvement district pursuant to C.R.S. Title 30, Article 20 (the “Public Improvement District” or “PID”), or one or more public entities, including without limitation, the Sky Ranch Districts, CAB, and County may enter into an intergovernmental agreement pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 29-1-203 and – 203.5 to create a public authority (the “Regional Improvements Authority”) to provide a source of funding for the construction and operation of certain regional public improvements serving the Development and other properties, including without limitation, the freeway interchange at Interstate I-70/Airpark Frontage Road adjacent to the Development and other regional improvements (collectively, the “Regional Improvements”). The PID, if formed, may pledge revenues and/or issue general obligation indebtedness, revenue bonds or special assessment bonds and will have the power to levy and collect ad valorem taxes on and against all taxable property within the PID in accordance with the provisions of part 5 of C.R.S. Title 30, Article 20. If and to the extent that Seller petitions the County and the County organizes a PID that includes the Development, Purchaser agrees that it will not object to the County’s organization of any such PID. The Regional Improvements Authority, if created, may use revenue generated by the Sky Ranch Districts’ imposition of a mill levy that is a subset of the Sky Ranch Districts’ operations and maintenance mill levy to plan, design, acquire, construct, install, relocate and/or redevelop, and the administration, overhead and operations and maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Regional Improvements (the “Regional Improvements Mill Levy”). The Regional Improvements Mill Levy shall be calculated as the difference between the overlapping mill levies of property subject to the Aurora Public Schools mill levy (“APS Mill Levy”) and the overlapping mill levies of property not subject to the APS Mill Levy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser may object if any proposal may exceed the Maximum Mills Limitation (hereafter defined) and (ii) regardless of whether or not Purchaser objects, Purchaser shall not be deemed to consent to or approve, and all PID documentation, coupled and aggregated with any and all other documentation relating to the District (hereafter defined), the other Sky Ranch Districts (hereafter defined), and the Regional Improvements Authority (such documentation being collectively referred to as, the “District Documentation”) shall only be permitted to levy and collect in the aggregate amounts that do not exceed the lesser of: (i) the total mill levy assessed against a residential lot that is subject to the APS Mill Levy; and (ii) up to 55.664 mills (subject to “Gallagher Adjustments”) commencing with the residential assessment rate as of January 1, 2021 for debt service, and up to 11.133 mills for operation and maintenance (also subject to Gallagher Adjustments) (collectively, the “Maximum Mills Limitation”). Seller shall be solely liable for and shall pay (i) any ad valorem taxes levied by any district or other entity in excess of the Maximum Mills Limitation, and (ii) any other rates, tolls, fees or charges adopted by any such district or other entity and this obligation of Seller shall survive all Closings for the benefit of Purchaser and all successor Lot owners.
 
7

(e)         Title Policy. Within a reasonable time after each Closing, Seller, at its expense, shall cause the Title Company to deliver a Form 2006 ALTA extended coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (“Title Policy”), insuring Purchaser’s title to the Property conveyed at such Closing, pursuant to the applicable Takedown Commitment and subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, together with such endorsements as Purchaser may request and which the Title Company agrees to issue during the Due Diligence Period, and shall pay the premium for the basic policy at such Closing. The Title Policy shall provide insurance in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all Lots purchased at such Closing. At each Closing, Seller shall offer to execute and deliver a Lien Affidavit and an Owner’s Affidavit, and shall obtain and furnish a Plat Certificate, as necessary. Purchaser shall pay any fees charged by the Title Company to delete the standard pre-printed exceptions. Purchaser shall pay for the premiums for any endorsements requested by Purchaser, except that Seller shall pay for any endorsements that Seller agrees to provide in order to cure a Title Objection.
 
5.           Seller Obligations. Seller shall have the following obligations:
 
(a)          Entitlements.
8

(i)        Platting and Entitlements. Seller shall be responsible, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, for preparing and processing in a commercially reasonable manner and timeframe, and diligently pursuing and obtaining Final Approval (as defined below) from the County and any other appropriate Authority and recording in the records of the Clerk and Recorder of the County (the “County Records”), as may be required, the following: (A) a preliminary plat; (B) a general development plan (“GDP”); (C) a specific development plan that includes the Property (“SDP”); (D) an administrative site plan (“ASP”) and final subdivision plat (or plats) for each Filing within the Property (each a “Final Plat”); (E) the public improvement construction plans for all improvements relating to each Final Plat (“CDs”); and (F) one or more development or subdivision improvement agreements associated with the Final Plats and other similar documentation required by the Authorities in connection with approval of the Final Plat(s) and CDs (collectively, the “Entitlements”). The Entitlements shall substantially comply with the Final Lotting Diagram, and shall provide that Phase B of the Development contains approximately 834 lots with the Lots being of the number, type, and dimension as set forth above in Recital D (after taking into consideration applicable setbacks), and the Entitlements shall not impose new or additional requirements upon Purchaser which increase (or could be expected to increase) the construction cost for a Home on any Lot by more than $3,000 or which materially adversely affect Purchaser’s ability to construct a Home on any Lot. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Entitlements for each Takedown, respectively, approved by the Authorities and recorded as necessary in the County Records with all applicable governmental or third-party appeal and/or challenge periods applicable to an approval decision of the County Board of Commissioners or County Planning Commission having expired without any appeal then-pending (“Final Approval”). Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain Final Approval of the Entitlements applicable to the Takedown 1 Lots on or before that date which is nine (9) months after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, as such period may be extended pursuant to this Section 5(a)(i), or as a result of delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events. If Final Approval of the Entitlements applicable to the Takedown 1 Lots has not been achieved as aforesaid on or before nine (9) months after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (subject to delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events), then Seller, in its discretion, shall have the right to extend the date for obtaining such Final Approval for a period not to exceed an additional six (6) months by providing written notice to Purchaser prior to the expiration of such nine (9) month period (or such later date as the same may have been previously extended). If Seller has not secured such Final Approval of the Takedown 1 Lots by the expiration of the initial nine (9) month period (subject to delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events) and shall fail to exercise such extension, each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities under this Contract, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If Seller extends the time period for obtaining Final Approval of the Takedown 1 Lots, then during such extended time period Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Final Approval of such Entitlements, and failing which, Seller shall not be in default of its obligations under this Contract (unless Seller failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Final Approval of such Entitlements), but this Contract shall terminate in which case each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities under this Contract, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. During the Entitlement process, Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the process and the anticipated results therefrom and, upon written request, Seller will provide Purchaser with copies of those Entitlement documents as submitted to the County and other reasonable documentation relating to same. Purchaser, at no material cost to Purchaser (other than costs incurred to obtain services that could reasonably be performed or provided in-house), shall cooperate with Seller in Seller’s efforts to obtain Final Approval of the Entitlements by the County.

(ii)        Lot Minimums for each Takedown. The Final Plat(s) for the Property and the Lots are anticipated to be in a form which is substantially consistent with the Final Lotting Diagram, subject to changes made necessary by the Authorities and/or final engineering decisions which are necessary to properly engineer, design, and install the improvements in accordance with the requirements of the County and other applicable Authorities.

(iii)       Recordation of Final Plat. At or before each Closing, Seller shall cause to be recorded, in the County Records, the Final Plat that includes the Lots that are to be purchased at such Closing. Seller shall be responsible for providing to the County any bond or other financial assurance that is required by the County to record each Final Plat.

9

(b)         Interchange Obligations. As of the Effective Date, the existing entitlements for the Development state that no more than 774 building permits may be issued for the Development until the Freeway Interchange is upgraded. The foregoing building permit provision may affect the ability of Purchaser and the other builders within Phase B to obtain building permits on the Lots acquired after the First Closing under this Contract and after the initial closings under the other builder contracts. Seller is currently working with the County, CDOT, and other stakeholders to identify interim upgrades to the Freeway Interchange that, if implemented, would increase the number of building permits available within the Development to accommodate all Lots subject to this Contract and the other building contracts within Phase B (the “Interchange Upgrades”). In the event that any Closing is delayed as a result of Seller’s failure to satisfy its obligations with respect to the Interchange Upgrades, the Escalator shall be tolled on a day-for-day basis equal to the length of any such delay.

(c)          Finished Lot Improvements/Lot Development Agreement.

(i)         At the First Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into the Lot Development Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, regarding Seller’s obligations to construct and install the Finished Lot Improvements as described on Exhibit C attached hereto.

(ii)         The Lot Development Agreement includes, without limitation, provisions that provide for the following: (A) the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price by Purchaser as follows: for each Takedown, one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots in that Phase shall be paid to Seller upon Substantial Completion of that portion of the Finished Lot Improvements consisting of the water, sanitary sewer and storm sewer infrastructure that is necessary to serve the Lots in that Phase, and the remaining one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots in that Phase shall be paid to Seller upon Substantial Completion of the balance of Finished Lot Improvements that serve that Phase to the extent necessary to obtain building permits; (B) Seller’s and/or the District’s obligation to post surety as required by the County in connection with such Phases; (C) provisions regarding Seller’s and/or the District’s agreements with the contractors who will construct the Finished Lot Improvements; (D) Seller’s and/or the District’s warranty obligations, as provided on Exhibit C; (E) Seller’s obligation to obtain lien waivers and to discharge mechanics liens related to construction of the Finished Lot Improvements; (F) Purchaser’s step-in rights following a Seller and/or District Event of Default (as such term is defined in the Lot Development Agreement) under the Lot Development Agreement; and (G) a license from Purchaser to permit construction of the Finished Lot Improvements and performance of other related activities on the Lots. The Seller, Purchaser, other builder(s) affected by any improvements to be constructed under the Lot Development Agreement that serve or benefit the Lots and other property that is to be acquired by such other builder(s) (the “Joint Improvements”) and the Title Company will, at the Takedown 1 Closing execute a “Joint Improvements Memorandum” that describes the rights and obligations of Seller, Purchaser, such other builder(s) and Title Company and such document will supplement the Lot Development Agreement regarding the installation and construction of any Joint Improvements. The form of the Joint Improvements Memorandum is attached to the Lot Development Agreement as Exhibit F thereto.

10

(iii)       After obtaining Final Approval of all necessary Entitlements for the applicable Lots, Seller acting as the Constructing Party (as defined in the Lot Development Agreement) under the Lot Development Agreement shall commence and diligently pursue Substantial Completion, or cause to be Substantially Completed, for the Lots being purchased and acquired by Purchaser at each Closing, subject to delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events, the Finished Lot Improvements in accordance with the phasing, provisions and schedules of the Lot Development Agreement and all applicable laws, codes, regulations and governmental requirements for the Lots. Seller will notify Purchaser when each phase of the Finished Lot Improvements (have been Substantially Completed. Seller’s failure to comply with the foregoing covenant shall not constitute a default hereunder unless and until such failure shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined in the Lot Development Agreement) under the Lot Development Agreement.
 
(iv)       In order to secure Purchaser’s obligation (following each Closing) to pay the Deferred Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of this Contract and the payment schedule set forth in the Lot Development Agreement, as described in Section 5(c) of this Contract, at each Closing Purchaser shall deliver to Title Company (acting as escrow agent), either (a) a letter of credit, in a form agreeable to Seller and issued by a financial institution reasonably agreeable to Seller (the “Letter of Credit”), or (ii) a cash payment (a Letter of Credit and the cash payment each constitute a “Deferred Purchase Price Deposit”). The Deferred Purchase Price Deposit shall be in an amount equal to the sum of the Deferred Purchase Price for all of the Lots acquired by Purchaser at such Closing plus, for the Takedown 2 Lots, the Takedown 3 Lots, and the Takedown 4 Lots, the Escalator thereon calculated pursuant to Section 2(b). Title Company shall hold and maintain the Deferred Purchase Price Deposit pursuant to the Lot Development Agreement in an escrow account established by Title Company for the benefit of Seller and Purchaser. A Letter of Credit that is posted as the Deferred Purchase Price Deposit for a Closing shall remain in place until the final payment of the Deferred Purchase Price applicable to such Closing has been made to the Seller following Substantial Completion of the Finished Lot Improvements which serve the Lots acquired by Purchaser at such Closing. If a Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire prior to the Substantial Completion of all of such Lots, and Purchaser has not renewed the Letter of Credit at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date thereof, Title Company is authorized and directed to draw down the full amount of the Letter of Credit and deposit such funds in escrow to be used solely for the payment of any unpaid Deferred Purchase Price. The Letter of Credit may provide that it may be reduced from time to time to the extent of payments of the Deferred Purchase Price made by Purchaser for Finished Lot Improvements in accordance with the terms, including the payment schedule, set forth in the Lot Development Agreement and Section 5(a)(iii) of this Contract. The Letter of Credit for each Closing shall be returned to Purchaser, together with an executed reduction certificate reducing the face amount thereof to $0.00, upon payment in full of the Deferred Purchaser Price for all of the Lots in such Closing. A cash payment that is deposited as the Deferred Purchase Price Deposit for a Closing will be drawn down and disbursed by the Title Company to Seller from time to time to the extent of payments of the Deferred Purchase Price made by Purchaser for Finished Lot Improvements in accordance with the terms, including the payment schedule, set forth in the Lot Development Agreement and Section 5(a)(iii) of this Contract. Failure by Purchaser to pay any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price that is secured by a Letter of Credit when the same shall become due and payable, provided that at such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the delivery of written notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser, shall entitle Seller to enforce the collection of the delinquent Deferred Purchase Price by drawing upon the Letter of Credit or having the Title Company draw upon the Letter of Credit, and in either event the funds so drawn shall be paid to Seller as payment of any unpaid Deferred Purchase Price and such failure to pay shall be deemed cured. If Seller or Title Company is unable to draw upon the Letter of Credit, or Purchaser otherwise fails to pay the Deferred Purchase Price, Seller may protect and enforce its rights under this Contract pertaining to payment of the Deferred Purchase Price by (i) such suit, action, or special proceedings as Seller shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, any proceedings for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Contract and the Lot Development Agreement or the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, or for the recovery of actual damages (excluding consequential, punitive damages or similar damages) caused by Purchaser’s failure to pay the Deferred Purchase Price, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, and (ii) enforcing Seller’s lien rights under the Lot Development Agreement. Seller’s remedies are non-exclusive. The foregoing provisions regarding the Letter of Credit as security for payment of the Deferred Purchase Price shall be included in the Lot Development Agreement in the form of escrow instructions.

11

(d)         Substantial Completion of Improvements. The term “Substantially Complete” or “Substantial Completion” means that the Finished Lot Improvements have been substantially completed in accordance with the applicable CDs and all other requirements of this Contract and Purchaser will not be precluded from obtaining building permits for homes on the Lots (thereafter Seller shall complete the improvements so that Purchaser will not be precluded from obtaining the issuance of certificates of occupancy following completion of homes as a result of the degree of completion of the improvements).
 
6.           Pre-Closing Conditions.

(a)       Seller’s Conditions. It shall be a condition precedent to Seller’s obligation to close each Takedown, that the following conditions (“Seller’s Conditions Precedent”) have been satisfied:
 
(i)        Purchaser and other homebuilders are under contract to purchase at least 250 of the Lots in Phase B, and close the initial purchase of lots under some or all of such purchase and sale agreements as determined by Seller simultaneously (the “Initial Purchase Condition”).
 
(ii)       Seller shall have satisfied, or is reasonably certain it will be able to satisfy, its obligations with respect to the Interchange Upgrades, on or before the Substantial Completion Deadline (as set forth in the Lot Development Agreement) for such Takedown, such that Purchaser shall not be prevented from obtaining building permits to construct Houses on Lots acquired at such Takedown no later than the applicable Substantial Completion Deadline (the “Interchange Condition”) and will not be prevented from obtaining certificates of occupancy for such Houses, solely as a result of Seller’s failure to timely satisfy the Interchange Condition.

Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to timely satisfy the Seller’s Conditions Precedent. If for any reason other than Seller’s fault or exercise of its discretion, either Seller’s Condition Precedent is not satisfied on or before a Closing Date, Seller may elect to: (1) terminate this Contract by giving written notice to Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to such Closing; (2) waive the unsatisfied Seller’s Condition(s) Precedent and proceed to the applicable Closing (provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply to any subsequent Closings); or (3) extend the applicable Closing Date for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days by giving written notice to Purchaser on or before the applicable Closing Date, during which time Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such unsatisfied Seller’s Conditions Precedent to be satisfied (and during such extension period, the Escalator be tolled on a day-for-day basis equal to the length of such extension period).

In the event Seller terminates this Contract pursuant to this Section 6(a), that portion of the Deposit made by Purchaser that has not been applied to the Purchase Price for Lots already acquired by Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser. Failure to give a termination notice as described above shall be an irrevocable waiver of Seller’s right to terminate this Contract as to the affected Takedown pursuant to this Section 6(a).
 
(b)          Purchaser’s Conditions. It shall be a condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close each Takedown, that the following conditions (“Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent”) have been satisfied:

(iv)       The Title Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally committed (subject only to Purchaser’s obligation to pay the portion of the Title Policy premium for which Purchaser is responsible under this Contract and satisfaction of any Title Company requirements applicable to Purchaser) to issue to Purchaser the applicable Title Policy with the endorsements as Purchaser may request and the Title Company agrees in writing to issue prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Contract.
 
(v)          The Joint Improvements Memorandum shall have been fully executed by all required parties.
 
13

If the Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent are not satisfied on or before a respective Closing Date, Purchaser may: (1) waive the unfulfilled Purchaser’s Condition Precedent and proceed to Closing, (2) extend the applicable Closing Date for up to ninety (90) days to allow more time for Seller to satisfy the unfulfilled Purchaser’s Condition Precedent, or (3) as its sole remedy hereunder terminate this Contract as to such Takedown and any subsequent Takedowns by written notice to Seller, delivered within two (2) business days after the Closing Date for the applicable Takedown, in which case each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities under this Contract, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit made by Purchaser that has not been applied to the Purchase Price for Lots already acquired by Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser elects to extend the Closing Date under (2), above, and the unsatisfied Purchaser’s Condition Precedent is not satisfied as of the last day of the ninety (90) day extension period, then Purchaser shall, as its sole remedy, elect to waive or terminate under (1) or (3).

Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver or make available (via electronic file share if available in electronic form, otherwise at Seller’s office) to Purchaser the following listed items to the extent in Seller’s actual possession; if an item listed below is not in Seller’s possession and not delivered or made available to Purchaser, but is otherwise readily available to Seller, then Purchaser may make written request to Seller to provide such item, and Seller will use its reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver or make such item available to Purchaser, but Seller will have no obligation otherwise to obtain any item not in Seller’s possession: (i) any environmental reports, soil reports and certifications pertaining to the Lots, (ii) a copy of any subdivision plat for the Property, (iii) engineering and construction plans pertaining to the Lots, (iv) biological, grading, drainage, hydrology and other engineering reports and plans and engineering and constructions plans for offsite improvements that are required to obtain building permits/certificates of occupancies for single-family detached residences constructed on the Lots; (v) any PUD, Development Agreement, Site Development Plans and other approvals pertaining to the Lots particularly and the Development generally; (vi) the Master Covenants; (vii) any Special District Service Plans; (viii) any existing ALTA or other boundary Survey of the Property; and (ix) copies of any subdivision bonds or guarantees applicable to the Lots (collectively, the “Seller Documents”). Purchaser shall have a period expiring sixty (60) calendar days following the Effective Date of this Contract within which to review the same (the “Due Diligence Period”). During the Due Diligence Period, Purchaser shall have an opportunity to review and inspect the Property, all Seller Documents and any and all factors deemed relevant by Purchaser to its proposed development and the feasibility of Purchaser’s intended uses of the Property in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion (the “Feasibility Review”). The Feasibility Review shall be deemed to have been completed to Purchaser’s satisfaction only if Purchaser gives written notice to Seller of its election to continue this Contract (“Continuation Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser fails to timely give a Continuation Notice or if Purchaser gives a notice of its election to terminate, this Contract shall automatically terminate, the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property and any non-confidential and non-proprietary information otherwise obtained by Purchaser pertaining to the Property and any information otherwise obtained by Purchaser, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract except as otherwise provided in Section 25 below. Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost and at no cost and with no liability to Seller to assist Purchaser in obtaining: (A) an updated or recertification of any of the Seller Documents, (B) reliance letters from any of the preparers of the Seller Documents, and (C) any consents that may be required so that Purchaser may receive the benefits after Closing of any agreements comprising the Seller Documents that confer a benefit and are reasonably necessary for the Purchaser’s proper and efficient development of the Property for residential use, to the extent such are obtainable by Purchaser.
 
18

(b)       Approval of Property. If Purchaser gives a Continuation Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10, Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Property, the Development and the feasibility of Purchaser’s intended uses of the Lots (subject to the terms and conditions of Section 5 and Section 6 hereof). Such approval shall be deemed to include, but shall not be limited to, Purchaser’s approval of the following as to the Property:
 
(i)         The ability of applicable utility companies to provide utility services to the Property, including the quality, sizing and cost of such services;
 
(ii)         The soil and environmental conditions of the Property;
 
(iii)         All Seller Documents delivered to Purchaser pursuant to this Contract;
 
(iv)         All of the Permitted Exceptions;
 
(v)         The financial condition and other factors relevant to the operation of the District;
 
(vi)         Fitness for Purchaser’s intended use, accessibility of roads, and the condition and suitability for improvement and sale of the Lots, subject to Seller’s obligations under this Contract.
 
(c)          Radon. Purchaser acknowledges that radon gas and naturally occurring radioactive materials (“NORM”) each naturally occurs in many locations in Colorado. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) have detected elevated levels of naturally occurring radon gas in residential structures in many areas of Colorado, including the County and all of the other counties along the front range of Colorado. The EPA has raised concerns with respect to adverse effects on human health from long-term exposure to high levels of radon and recommends that radon levels be tested in all Residences. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller neither claims nor possesses any special expertise in the measurement or reduction of radon or NORM. Purchaser further acknowledges that Seller has not undertaken any evaluation of the presence or risks of radon or NORM with respect to the Property nor has it made any representation or given any other advice to Purchaser as to acceptable levels or possible health hazards of radon and NORM. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF RADON, NORM OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS WITHIN THE PROPERTY OR THE RESIDENCES TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE LOTS OR THE SOILS BENEATH OR ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY OR THE RESIDENCES TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE LOTS PRIOR TO, ON OR AFTER THE APPLICABLE CLOSING DATE. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby releases the Seller from any and all liability and claims with respect to any NORM. Every home sales contract entered in to by Purchaser with respect to subsequent sales of Lots shall include any disclosures with respect to radon (and other NORMs) as required by applicable Colorado law.
 
19

(d)         Soils. Purchaser acknowledges that soils within the State of Colorado consist of both expansive soils and low-density soils, and certain areas contain potential heaving bedrock associated with expansive, steeply dipping bedrock, which will adversely affect the integrity of a dwelling unit constructed on a Lot if the dwelling unit and the Lot on which it is constructed are not properly maintained. Expansive soils contain clay mineral, which have the characteristic of changing volume with the addition or subtraction of moisture, thereby resulting in swelling and/or shrinking soils. The addition of moisture to low-density soils causes a realignment of soil grains, thereby resulting in consolidation and/or collapse of the soils. Purchaser agrees that it shall obtain a current geotechnical report for the Property and an individual lot soils report for each Lot containing design recommendations from a licensed geotechnical engineer for all structures to be placed upon the Lot. Purchaser shall require all homes to have engineered footing and foundations consistent with results of the individual lot soils report for each Lot and shall take reasonable action as shall be necessary to ensure that the homes to be constructed upon the Lots shall be done in accordance with proper design and construction techniques. Purchaser shall also provide a copy of the geotechnical report for the Property and the individual lot soils report for each Lot to Seller within seven (7) days after Seller’s request for the same, and agrees in the event that this Contract terminates for any reason Purchaser shall use reasonable efforts to assign, without liability or recourse to Purchaser, at Seller’s request, the geotechnical report for the Property and the individual lot soils report for each Lot to any subsequent homebuilder who enters into a purchase and sale agreement with Seller to purchase all of a portion of the Lots. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF EXPANSIVE SOILS, LOW-DENSITY SOILS OR DIPPING BEDROCK UPON THE PROPERTY AND PURCHASER SHALL UNDERTAKE SUCH INVESTIGATION AS SHALL BE REASONABLE AND PRUDENT TO DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE OF THE SAME. Purchaser shall provide all disclosures required by C.R.S. Section 6-6.5-101 in every home sales contract entered in to by Purchaser with respect to subsequent sales of a Lot to a homebuyer. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby releases the Seller from any and all liability and claims with respect to expansive and low-density soils and dipping bedrock located within the Property.
 
20

(e)         Over Excavation. The Finished Lot Improvements required for each Lot do not include any “over excavation” or comparable preparation or mitigation of the soil (the “Overex”) on the Property and Purchaser shall have sole responsibility at Purchaser’s sole expense with respect to the Overex and shall have the right (pursuant to a license agreement to be provided by Seller) to enter such Lots for the purposes of performing the Overex; provided, however, that such entry shall be performed in a manner that does not materially interfere with or result in a material delay or an increase in the costs or any expenses in the construction of the Finish Lot Improvements, and provided further that Purchaser shall promptly repair any portion of the Lots and adjacent property that is materially damaged by Purchaser or its agents, designees, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in performing the Overex. Purchaser shall obtain, at its cost, a current geotechnical report for the Property and an individual lot soils report for each Lot containing design recommendations from a licensed geotechnical engineer for all structures to be placed upon the Lot (“Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports”). Purchaser shall not rely upon any geotechnical or soils report furnished by Seller, and Seller shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the Overex, Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports or any matters related thereto. The parties shall reasonably cooperate in coordinating Purchaser’s completion of the Overex so that the Overex can be properly sequenced with Seller’s completion of the Finished Lot Improvements and the parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in Seller’s completion of the Finished Lot Improvements resulting from Purchaser’s Overex work shall extend the date for substantial completion of the Finished Lot Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Lot Development Agreement. In no event shall the Seller be liable to Purchaser for any delay or costs or damages incurred by Purchaser with respect to such Overex, even if caused by any delay in installation of Finished Lot Improvements sequenced ahead of the Overex. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER IS NOT PERFORMING ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS OR EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE LOTS AND SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE LOTS. PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES (EXCLUSIVE OF SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR LOST PROFITS DAMAGES), COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ARISING OUT OF ANY EXPANSIVE SOILS, OVER-EXCAVATION OR OTHER SOIL MITIGATION OR PURCHASER’S ELECTION NOT TO PERFORM SOILS MITIGATION, ON OR PERTAINING TO PURCHASER’S LOTS. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.
 
21

(g)        As Is. Except for Seller’s Representations (as defined in Section 11 hereof) and Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Contract, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the Property based on its own inspection and examination thereof, and Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the property on an “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, LIABILITIES, AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, KNOWN OR UNKNOWN” basis in an “AS IS” physical condition and in an “AS IS” state of repair (subject to the Finished Lot Improvements obligation set forth in Section 5(a)(iii) hereof). Except as expressly contained in this Contract, the special warranty deed to be delivered at each Closing and Seller’s Representations, to the extent not prohibited by law the Purchaser hereby waives, and Seller disclaims all warranties of any type or kind whatsoever with respect to the Property, whether express or implied, direct or indirect, oral or written, including, by way of description, but not limitation, those of habitability, fitness for a particular purpose, and use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, except as otherwise provided in this Contract, the Seller’s Representations, the special warranty deed to be delivered at each Closing, Seller makes no representations or warranties concerning, and hereby expressly disclaims any representations or warranties concerning the following: (i) The value, nature, quality or condition of the Property; (ii) Any restrictions related to development of the Property; (iii) The applicability of any governmental requirements; (iv) The suitability of the Property for any purpose whatsoever; (v) The presence in, on, under or about the Property of any Hazardous Material or any other condition of the Property which is actionable under any Environmental Law (as such terms are defined in this Section 10; (vi) Compliance of the Property or any operation thereon with the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any applicable governmental body; or (vii) The presence or absence of, or the potential adverse health, economic or other effects arising from, any magnetic, electrical or electromagnetic fields or other conditions caused by or emanating from any power lines, telephone lines, cables or other facilities, or any related devices or appurtenances, upon or in the vicinity of the Property.

(h)        Release. Purchaser agrees that, subject to the Seller’s Representations, Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or omissions, or on account of geotechnical or soils conditions or on account of any other conditions affecting the Property, because Purchaser is purchasing the Property AS IS, WHERE-IS, and WITH ALL FAULTS. Purchaser, or anyone claiming by, through or under Purchaser, hereby fully releases Seller, Seller’s affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries and their respective managers, members, partners, officers, directors, shareholders, affiliates, representatives and employees (the “Seller Parties” and each as a “Seller Party”) from, and irrevocably waives its right to maintain, any and all claims and causes of action that it or they may now have or hereafter acquire against the Seller Parties for any cost, loss, liability, damage, expense, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to any defects, errors, omissions or other conditions affecting the Property, except to the extent that such loss or other liability results from a breach of the Seller’s Representations. Purchaser hereby waives any Environmental Claim (as defined in this Section) which it now has or in the future may have against Seller, provided however, such waiver shall not apply to activities to be performed by the Seller in accordance with the applicable Lot Development Agreement.

11.       Seller’s Representations. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows (the following Subsections (a) through (j) collectively referred to herein as “Seller’s Representations”):
 
(a)          Organization. Seller is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Colorado.
 
(b)       Litigation. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge (as defined in this Section 11), there is no pending or threatened litigation which could materially adversely affect the Property.
 
(c)        Bankruptcy. There are no attachments, levies, executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, receiverships, conservatorships, or voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy, or any other debtor relief actions contemplated by Seller or filed by Seller, or to Seller’s knowledge, pending in any current judicial or administrative proceeding against Seller.
 
(d)         Non-Foreign Person. Seller is not a “foreign person” as that term is defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable regulations.
 
(e)         Condemnation. Seller has received no written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings which may affect the Property or any part thereof.
 
(f)          Execution and Delivery. The execution, delivery and performance of this Contract by Seller does not and will not result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any indenture, loan or credit agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement to which Seller is a party. The individual(s) executing this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein on behalf of Seller have the legal power, right and actual authority to bind Seller to the terms hereof and thereof.
 
(g)          Default. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Seller has not defaulted under any covenant, restriction or contract affecting the Property, nor has Seller caused by its act or omission an event to occur which would with the passage of time constitute a breach or default under such covenant, restriction or contract.
 
(h)          Violation of Law. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Seller has not received any written notice of non-compliance, addressed to Seller, from a regulatory agency that has jurisdiction over the Property with respect to any federal, state or local laws, codes, ordinances or regulations relating to the Property.
 
25

(i)          Rights. Seller has not granted to any party, other than Purchaser hereunder, any option, contract, right of refusal or other agreement with respect to a purchase or sale of the Property.

For purposes of the foregoing, the phrase “Seller’s Actual Knowledge” shall mean the current, actual, personal knowledge of Mark Harding as President of Seller, without any duty of investigation or inquiry and without imputation of any other person’s knowledge. The fact that reference is made to the personal knowledge of the above identified individual shall not render such individual personally liable for any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties; rather, Purchaser’s sole recourse in the event of any such breach shall be against Seller, and Purchaser hereby waives any claim or cause of action against the above identified individual arising from Seller’s Representations. Seller and Purchaser shall notify the other in writing immediately if any Seller’s Representation becomes untrue or misleading in light of information obtained by Seller or Purchaser after the Effective Date. In the event that Purchaser elects to close and Purchaser has actual knowledge (meaning the current, actual, personal knowledge of Lee Eisenhiem, without any duty of investigation or inquiry and without imputation of any other person’s knowledge) that any of Seller’s Representations are untrue or misleading, or of a breach of any of Seller’ Representations prior to a Closing, without the duty of further inquiry, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of recovery with respect to the matter actually known by Purchaser, and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith.

Seller’s Representations shall survive each respective Closing for a period of six (6) months, except that any claim for which legal action is filed within such time period shall survive until resolution of such action, and except to the extent of any matter that is waived by Purchaser pursuant to the previous paragraph (and any such matter waived pursuant to the previous paragraph shall not survive Closing).

To the extent that any development plans, site plans, rendering, drawings, marketing information or other materials related to the Development include, depict or imply the inclusion of any amenities in the Development, they are included only to illustrate possible amenities for the Development that may or may not be built and Purchaser shall not rely upon any such materials regarding the construction, installation or operation of any amenities within the Development.

26

12.        Purchaser’s Obligations. Purchaser shall have the following obligations, each of which shall survive each respective Closing and, where noted, termination of this Contract. Notwithstanding any contrary provision set forth in this Contract, Seller shall have the right to enforce said obligations by means of any legal or equitable proceedings including, but not limited to, suit for actual damages and equitable relief:
 
(a)         Master Covenants; PID Service Plan. Purchaser shall comply with all obligations applicable to Purchaser under the Master Covenants and under the PID Service Plan.
 
(b)         Compliance with Laws. With respect to Purchaser’s entry onto the Property and following each Closing, Purchaser shall comply with and abide by all laws, ordinances, statutes, covenants, rules and regulations, building codes, permits, association documents and other recorded instruments (as they are from time to time amended, supplemented or changed) which regulate any activities relating to Purchaser’s use, ownership, construction, sale or investigation of any Lot or any improvements thereon.
 
(c)        Entry Prior to Closing. From and after the Effective Date of this Contract until applicable Closing Date or earlier termination of this Contract, and so long as no default by Purchaser exists under this Contract, Purchaser and its agents, employees and representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Property for purposes of conducting soil and other engineering tests and to inspect and survey any of the Property. If the Property is altered or disturbed in any manner in connection with any of Purchaser’s activities, Purchaser shall immediately return the Property to substantially the condition existing prior to such activities. Purchaser shall promptly refill holes dug and otherwise to repair any damage to the Property as a result of its activities. Purchaser and its agents shall not have the right to conduct any invasive testing (e.g., borings, drilling, soil/water sampling, etc.), except standard geotech preliminary investigation, on the Lots, including, without limitation, any so-called “Phase II” environmental testing, without first obtaining Seller’s written consent (and providing Seller at least seventy-two (72) hours’ prior written notice), which consent may be withheld by Seller in its reasonable discretion and shall be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by Seller in its reasonable discretion. In the event that Purchaser fails to obtain Seller’s written consent prior to any invasive testing, in addition to and without limiting any other obligations Purchaser may have under this Section, Purchaser shall be fully responsible and liable for all costs of remediation with respect to any materials disturbed in any manner that requires remediation or that are removed in connection with such invasive testing and including, but not limited to, costs for disposal of materials removed during any invasive testing. Purchaser shall not permit any lien to attach to the Property or any portion of the Property as a result of the activities. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, claims (including, without limitation, personal injury, death and property damage claims), damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives or their property arising out of any breach of the provisions of this Section 12(c) by Purchaser, its agents, employees or representatives. The foregoing indemnity obligation of Purchaser includes acts and omissions of Purchaser and all agents, consultants and other parties acting for or on behalf of Purchaser. Purchaser shall maintain in effect during its inspection of the Property commercial general liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of at least $2,000,000.00 combined single limit, and automobile liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of at least $2,000,000.00 combined single limit, and the policy or policies of insurance shall be issued by a reputable insurance company or companies which are qualified to do business in the State of Colorado and shall name Seller as an additional insured.

(d)         Architectural Approval. In order to assure that homes constructed by Purchaser are compatible with the other residential construction in the Development and the architectural, design, and landscaping criteria and guidelines included in the approved Administrative Site Plan applicable to the Property (the “ASP Criteria”) and are otherwise acceptable to Seller, all construction and landscaping on the Lots shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Seller. The Master Covenants provide for the formation of an architectural review committee (“Architectural Review Committee”) and for the promulgation and adoption of design guidelines (“Design Guidelines”) to be applied by the Architectural Review Committee. The Master Covenants and the Design Guidelines provide for an exemption from obtaining Architectural Review Committee approval for the Seller and any other person whose House Plans (as hereinafter defined) has been reviewed and approved by the Seller.
 
(i)          Purchaser shall submit to Seller the Purchaser’s elevations, floor plans, typical landscape plans, exterior color palettes (“House Plans”) for homes and other buildings, structures and improvements to be located on the Lots (herein referred to as “Homes”, “Houses” or “Residences”) within twenty (20) days following delivery of the ASP to Purchaser. Seller will review the House Plans and Seller shall deliver notice to Purchaser of the Seller’s approval or disapproval of the House Plans within ten (10) business days after receipt of the House Plans, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, so long as such plans substantially comply and are generally consistent and compatible with the ASP Criteria. If Seller fails to so notify Purchaser of approval or disapproval within such 10-business day period, the Purchaser shall provide Seller with written notice of the same and Seller shall notify Purchaser within five (5) business days of its approval or disapproval. If Seller fails to approve or disapprove within such 5-business day period, the House Plans shall be deemed approved and/or an appropriate exemption shall be given to Purchaser. In the event of disapproval, Purchaser shall revise and resubmit the House Plans to the Seller for reconsideration, addressing the matters disapproved by the Seller, and the procedure set forth above shall be repeated until the House Plans are approved by the Seller. After Seller approves the Purchaser’s House Plans, and before Purchaser commences construction of Homes on the Lots, Purchaser shall submit to Seller any material changes in the approved House Plans. Seller shall review the material changes for general consistency and compatibility with the standards and criteria set forth in the ASP Criteria and if Seller approves such changes, Seller shall notify Purchaser within ten (10) business days of its approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
 
28

(ii)        Purchaser shall obtain Seller approval of House Plans before commencing construction activities on any Lot. Purchaser shall perform all construction, development and landscaping in accordance with the approved House Plans and in conformity with the ASP Criteria and all other requirements, rules, regulations of any local jurisdictional authority. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the County will not conduct architectural review nor issue approval of Purchaser’s House Plans, but rather requires the building permit applicant to comply with the ASP Criteria. Seller’s approval of Purchaser’s House Plans is only intended as a review for compatibility with other residential construction in the Development and the ASP Criteria and does not constitute a representation or warranty that Purchaser’s House Plans comply with ASP Criteria and Purchaser shall be responsible for confirming such compliance.
 
(e)       Disclosures to Homebuyers. Purchaser shall include in each contract for the sale of any Home constructed by Purchaser in the Development all disclosures required by applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Special District Disclosure, Common Interest Community Disclosure, Mineral Disclosure and Source of Potable Water Disclosure, and any other disclosure that applicable laws require to be made to each homebuyer regarding expansive/low-density soils, radon, NORMs, and other matters (“Homebuyer Disclosures”). Purchaser shall furnish to Seller upon request a copy of Purchaser’s disclosures to homebuyers which includes the Homebuyer Disclosures.
 
13.        Force Majeure. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Contract, the time for performance of any obligation of Seller or Purchaser under this Contract (except for any monetary obligation of either party) shall be extended if such performance is delayed due to any act, or failure to act, of any Authority, strike, riot, act of war, act of terrorism, act of violence, weather, act of God, epidemic/pandemic, or any other act, occurrence or non-occurrence beyond such party’s reasonable control (each, an “Uncontrollable Event”). Any extension under the preceding sentence shall continue for a length of time reasonably necessary to satisfy such delayed obligation; provided, however, that such extension shall not be for a period of time which is less than the duration of the Uncontrollable Event. If a party claims a delay due to an Uncontrollable Event, then such party shall provide written notice to the other party of the occurrence of a condition that constitutes an Uncontrollable Event, which notice shall reasonably detail the reason(s) giving rise to the Uncontrollable Event and a reasonable estimation of the duration (to the extent determinable at the time of such notice) of the delay that was caused by the Uncontrollable Event. Each party will make efforts to minimize the delay from any such Uncontrollable Event to the extent reasonably feasible; provided, however, that neither party shall be required to use extraordinary means and/or incur extraordinary costs in order to satisfy its obligations.
 
14.        Cooperation. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with and require its agents, employees, subcontractors and other representatives to cooperate with all other parties involved in construction within the Development, including, where applicable, the granting of a nonexclusive license to enter upon the Property conveyed to Purchaser. Purchaser shall execute any and all documentation reasonably required by Seller or the Authorities to effectuate any desired modification or change in connection with Seller’s activities in the Development including, without limitation, amendments or restatements of the Master Covenants, or any Final Plat; provided, however, Purchaser shall not be obligated to execute any such documentation if it will materially adversely affect the fair market value of the Property or Purchaser’s ability to construct or to sell its proposed homes within the Property, or if it will materially increase the cost of such construction, interfere with or delay such construction.
 
29

15.          Fees. Subject to the provisions of Sections 16 and 18 below:
 
(a)          FHA/VA. Seller shall not be required to obtain any approvals pursuant to FHA, VA or other governmental programs relating to the Lots or the financing of improvements thereon.
 
(b)        Utility Company Refunds. Any refunds from utility providers relating to construction deposits for the Property shall be the exclusive property of Seller. Purchaser shall cooperate with Seller in turning over any such funds and directing those funds to Seller.
 
16.         Water and Sewer Taps; Fees; and District Matters.
 
(a)      Rangeview Metropolitan District. The water and sewer service provider for the Lots is the Rangeview Metropolitan District (“Rangeview”) and Purchaser shall be required to purchase water and sewer taps for the Lots from Rangeview pursuant to the terms and provisions of a tap purchase agreement in a form substantially consistent with the one attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit F (the “Tap Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Tap Purchase Agreement, Rangeview will agree to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser will agree to purchase from Rangeview, a water and sewer tap for each Lot in accordance with an agreed-upon purchase schedule, but in no event later than the issuance of a building permit for a Lot. The Tap Purchase Agreement shall be executed by Rangeview and Purchaser on or before the date of the First Closing. If Rangeview and Purchaser are unable to agree on a Tap Purchase Agreement before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property and any non-confidential and non-proprietary information otherwise obtained by Purchaser pertaining to the Property, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract except as otherwise provided in Section 25 below. The combined cost to purchase a water tap and sewer will be dependent on Lot size, house square footage, number of floors, driveway lanes, outdoor irrigated square footage, and xeriscape square footage. For example, based on Rangeview’s rates and charges as of the Effective Date as set forth in that certain fee schedule attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Lot Development Fee Schedule”), a 5,500 square foot lot with a 2,400 square foot house 2 story 2 car garage with 1,500 square feet of grass would have a computed tap fee equating to a .9 SFE (1 SFE equal to .4 acre feet of water demand per year) or $24,488.10, and a sewer tap fee of $4,752.
 
30

(b)        District Governance and Financial Matters. The Property is included within the boundaries of the District and with water and sewer service provided by Rangeview. Persons affiliated with Seller have been elected or appointed to the board of directors (“Board”) of the District and Rangeview and serve in that capacity. Purchaser shall not qualify any persons affiliated with Purchaser as its representative to serve on the Board of the District or Rangeview and this prohibition shall survive all Closings and delivery of deeds hereunder until no person affiliated with Seller serves on the Board. The District has been formed for purposes that include, but are not limited to financing, owning, maintaining and/or managing certain tracts and infrastructure improvements (“District Improvements”) to serve the Development, including the Lots. Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) the construction of District Improvements shall be without compensation or reimbursement to Purchaser; and (ii) any reimbursements, credits, payments, or other amounts payable by the District or Rangeview on account of the construction of District Improvements or any other matters related thereto (“Metro District Payments”) shall remain the property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to or otherwise be claimed by Purchaser. Upon request of Seller, the District, or Rangeview, Purchaser will execute any and all documents that may be reasonably required to confirm Purchaser’s waiver of any right to Metro District Payments. The provisions of this Section are material in determining the Purchase Price, and the Purchase Price would have been higher but for the provisions of this Section. Seller shall provide to Purchaser as part of the Seller Documents information available relating to the District including the service plan and schedule of current fees and charges. This Section shall survive each Closing as set forth herein.
 
(c)        Sky Ranch Community Authority Board. Pursuant to the Colorado Constitution, Article XIV, Sections 18(2)(a) and (b), and C.R.S. Sections 29-1-203 and -203.5, metropolitan districts may cooperate or contract with each other to provide any function, service or facility lawfully authorized to each, and any such contract may provide for the sharing of costs, the impositions of taxes, and the incurring of debt. Pursuant to the Modified Service Plans for Sky Ranch Metropolitan District Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 (“Sky Ranch Districts”), approved by Arapahoe County on September 14, 2004, as amended (“Service Plans”), and pursuant to statutory authority, the Sky Ranch Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 5 have entered into a Sky Ranch Community Authority Board Establishment Agreement (“CABEA”), creating the CAB. It is anticipated that the Boards of Sky Ranch Metropolitan District Nos. 3 and 4 will elect to become parties to the CABEA in the future. The CABEA authorizes the CAB and the Sky Ranch Districts that are parties to the CABEA to cooperate and contract with each other regarding administrative and operational functions. One or more of the Sky Ranch Districts, the CAB or other governmental entity may enter into an intergovernmental agreement (an “IGA”) pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 29-1-203 and -203.5 to create the Regional Improvement Authority to use revenue generated by the imposition of the Regional Improvements Mill Levy to plan, design, acquire, construct, install, relocate, and/or redevelop the Regional Improvements, and for the administration, overhead and operations and maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Regional Improvements serving the Development. The Regional Improvement Authority’s authority may include, without limitation, (i) sharing or pledging revenue, including ad valorem taxes, to provide a source of funding to pay for specific regional improvements that serve the Development, (ii) the issuance of debt by the CAB or other governmental authority to pay for regional improvements, and (iii) the construction of regional improvements. If and to the extent that the District enters into such an IGA, Builder agrees that it will not object to the IGA creating the Regional Improvements Authority; provided that the total mill levy on a Lot does not exceed the Maximum Mills Limitation.
 
31

(d)          Fees.
 
(i)          Seller shall pay any and all of the following to the extent imposed by any Authority in connection with the Property conveyed to Purchaser: (i) any parks and recreation fees (including park dedication requirements and/or cash-in-lieu payments related to the Property as part of the platting thereof); (ii) drainage fees; (iii) fees for payment-in-lieu of school land dedications.
 
(ii)         Purchaser shall pay all costs or fees that may be imposed by any Authority relating to the construction, use or occupancy of the Homes to be constructed on the Lots and any ongoing or periodic maintenance and operations fees and charges levied or otherwise imposed on Lot owned by Purchaser by any Authority, including without limitation, those fees set forth in the Lot Development Fee Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit G; provided, however, that the fees set forth on Exhibit G are reflective only of the assessments as of the Effective Date hereof and are subject to periodic increases as determined by the assessing Authority. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for the fees to be paid by Seller pursuant to Section 16(d)(i) above, Purchaser shall pay any and all of the following to the extent imposed in connection with the Property conveyed to Purchaser: (i) system development fees; (iii) any infrastructure (facility) fee, including, without limitation, any transportation/road fee, which may be imposed either by the County, the District or other Authority; (iv) any impact fees and payment-in-lieu of land dedication fees imposed for roads or other facilities that are payable at issuance of a building permit for a Home constructed on a Lot; and (v) any excise fees.
 
(iii)       As of the Effective Date, the District does not levy a system development fee (“SDF”) against property within the District. If the District at any time before a Closing adopts a SDF, then at such Closing (and subsequent Closings) the Purchaser shall pay the District’s SDF applicable to the Lots. In order to offset Purchaser’s payment of the District’s SDF for a Lot at a Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for such Lot at such Closing equal to the amount of the District’s SDF paid by Purchaser for the Lot.
 
(iv)        The covenants set forth in this Section 16 shall survive each respective Closing and shall represent a continuing obligation until the complete satisfaction or payment thereof.
 
17.         Homeowners’ Association. Certain alleys, walkways, landscape tracts, and other private improvements will serve the Property and may also serve lots acquired by other builders within Phase B. In order to address the maintenance obligations related to such private improvements, Seller shall establish a homeowners’ association that will own and/or maintain such private improvements (the “Homeowners’ Association”) and cause the Lots to be annexed into such Homeowners’ Association at Closing hereunder. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Seller will deliver to Purchaser (and the other builders) for its review and reasonable approval, a declaration with respect to the maintenance of those private improvements (the “Maintenance Declaration”). Purchaser shall have until fifteen (15) days before the end of the Due Diligence Period, as the same may be extended, to notify Seller in writing of any objection that Purchaser may have to the draft Maintenance Declaration. On or before the fifth (5th) business day following Seller’s receipt of Buyer’s objections to the draft Maintenance Declaration, Seller shall notify Buyer, in writing, whether Seller elects to make such modifications to the draft Maintenance Declaration, with Seller not to unreasonably withhold its consent to Purchaser’s request; provided, however, that if Seller does not elect to modify, or elects to modify and does not thereafter modify the Maintenance Declaration within such 5-business day period and such decision is made on a reasonable basis, Purchaser shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by delivery of a written termination notice to Seller on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the entire Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall return to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property, and thereafter the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those which expressly survive the termination hereof; or (ii) waive any objections to the Maintenance Declaration and proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Maintenance Declaration as to which its objections have been waived. Upon approval of the form of the Maintenance Declaration by the Parties, the Parties will cause such form to be attached to this Agreement by a mutually executed amendment hereto. The Maintenance Declaration shall be recorded in the Records at or before the First Closing and shall constitute a Permitted Exception hereunder.
 
32

18.        Reimbursements and Credits. Purchaser shall have no right to any reimbursements and/or cost-sharing agreements pursuant to any agreements entered into between Seller or any of Seller’s affiliates and third parties which may or may not affect the Property. In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller, its affiliates, the District, the PID, or other metropolitan district, has installed or may install certain infrastructure improvements (“Infrastructure Improvements”) the Interchange Upgrades, and/or donate, dedicate and/or convey certain rights, improvements and/or real property (“Dedications”) to the County or other Authority which benefit all or any part of the Property, together with adjacent properties, and which entitle Seller or its affiliates and/or the Property or any part thereof to certain reimbursements by the County or other Authority or credits by the County or other Authority for park fees, open space fees, school impact fees, capital expansion fees and other governmental fees which would otherwise be required to be paid to the County or other governmental or quasi-governmental entity by the owner of the Property or any part thereof from time to time (“Governmental Fees”). In the event Purchaser is entitled to a credit or waiver of Governmental Fees by the County and/or any other Authority as a result of the Infrastructure Improvements, the Interchange Upgrades, and/or any Dedications, then, in such event, Purchaser shall pay to or reimburse Seller and/or its designated affiliates in an amount equal to such credited or waived Governmental Fees at the same time that the Governmental Fees would otherwise be payable by Purchaser or its assignees to the County or other Authority but for the construction of the Infrastructure Improvements, the Interchange Upgrades, and/or any Dedications by Seller, its affiliates, the District, or other Authority. In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller or its affiliate(s) may have negotiated or may negotiate with the County or other Authority for reimbursements to Seller or its affiliates. Purchaser acknowledges that certain Governmental Fees which may be paid by Purchaser to the County or other Authority may be reimbursed to Seller and/or its affiliates pursuant to the terms of said agreement. The obligations and covenants set forth in this Section 18 shall survive the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Property and shall represent a continuing obligation of Purchaser until complete satisfaction thereof. Purchaser shall be released from the obligations in this Section 18 to the extent such obligations are assumed in writing by a subsequent owner of all or a portion of the Property and a copy of such written assumption is furnished to Seller. Each special warranty deed conveying the applicable portion of the Property at each Closing shall contain the foregoing reimbursement covenant, which reimbursement covenant shall expressly state that it automatically terminates as to any Lot upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a home constructed on the Lot and conveyance of the Lot to a homebuyer.
 
33

19.        Name and Logo. The name and logo of “Sky Ranch” are wholly owned by Seller. Purchaser agrees that it shall not use or allow the use of the name “Sky Ranch” or any logo, symbol or other words or phrases which are names or trademarks used or registered by Seller or any of its affiliates in any manner to name, designate, advertise, sell or develop the Property or in connection with the operation or business located or to be located upon the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld for any reason. Any consent to the use of such names or logos may be conditioned upon Purchaser entering into a license agreement with Seller, as applicable, at no additional cost to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free license for so long as Purchaser is building and selling homes in the Development, without the need for any further consent or approval by Seller, to use the name and logo of “Sky Ranch” in connection with the use, marketing, sales, development and operation of the Property, provided that Purchaser shall comply with any requirements uniformly applicable to all homebuilders in Sky Ranch that Seller promulgates with respect to such usage.
 
20.        Renderings. All renderings, plans or drawings of the Property or the Development locating landscaping, trees and any improvements are artists’ conceptions only and may not accurately reflect their actual location. Purchaser waives any claims based upon any inaccuracy in the location of such items as depicted on the renderings, plans or drawings.
 
21.       Communications Improvements. Seller may, but is not obligated to, enter into an agreement with a service provider for the development and installation of Communication Improvements in all or any portion of the Development. “Communications Improvements” means any equipment, property and facilities, if used or useful in connection with the delivery, deployment, provision or modification of (a) broadband Internet access service; (b) monitoring service, for the benefit of governmental entities, quasi-governmental entities, or utilities, regarding the usage of electricity, gas, water and other resources; (c) video programming or content, including Internet protocol television (a/k/a “IPTV”) service; (d) voice over Internet protocol (a/k/a “VoIP”) service; (e) telecommunications services, including voice; (f) any other service or services delivered by means of the Internet or otherwise delivered by means of digital signals; and (g) any other service or services based on technology that is similar to or is a technological extension of any of the foregoing (“Service”). Communications Improvements do not include any equipment, facilities or property located or in the home of a person who receives services from the service provider, such as, but not limited to routers, wireless access points, in-house wiring, set-top boxes, game consoles, gateways and other equipment under the control of the owner or occupant of the home. Seller may grant to such service provider one or more permanent, non-exclusive, perpetual, assignable and recordable easements (collectively referred to as the “Easement”) to access and use the Property and other property within the Development, as necessary, appropriate or desirable, to lay, install, construct, reconstruct, modify, operate, maintain, repair, enhance, upgrade, regulate, remove, replace and otherwise use the Communications Improvements. So long as any such Easement does not materially interfere with Purchaser’s ability to construct its intended Homes on the Lots, Purchaser shall not object to and shall cooperate with Seller in connection with the installation and operation of the Communications Improvements.
 
34

22.        Soil Hauling. Purchaser shall be responsible for either relocating from the Property all surplus soil generated during Purchaser’s construction of structures on the Property or to import any necessary fill required to complete Purchaser’s Overex activities or other construction activities. At the option of Seller, in its sole discretion, the surplus soil shall be transported at Purchaser’s expense, to a site designated by Seller within the Development; provided, that Seller has designated and made such a site available to Purchaser at the time Purchaser is ready to transport surplus soils, if any. Purchaser may choose its preferred form of transport for such surplus soils, subject to Seller’s prior written consent to such form of transport, and provided that Purchaser shall not damage any portion of the Development or interfere with Seller’s activities within the Development. If and to the extent that Seller establishes stock pile site within the Development, Seller may modify any such stock pile locations from time to time in Seller’s discretion (but Purchaser shall not have any obligation to relocate any soil Purchaser previously delivered to the prior designated stock pile site). At Seller’s request, Purchaser shall supply copies of any reports or field assessments identifying the material characteristics of the excess soil prior to accepting such soil for fill purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller does not establish a stock pile site or elects not to accept any surplus soils from Purchaser, then Purchaser shall, at its sole expense, find a purchaser or taker or otherwise transport and dispose of such surplus soil upon such terms as it shall desire, but such surplus soil must still be removed from the Property and may not be stockpiled on the Property or within the Development after construction has been completed. At the option of Developer, in its sole discretion, if Builder needs to import any necessary fill that is required to complete Builder’s construction activities and Developer has fill dirt available on the Property, then Developer may make available to Builder, on terms and conditions determined by Developer, any such fill dirt for transport at Builder’s expense.
 
23.        Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List. Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser and all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in Purchaser are currently in compliance with and shall at all times prior to the Closing of this transaction remain in compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the United States Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller and all persons and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in Seller are currently in compliance with and shall at all times prior to the Closing of this transaction remain in compliance with the regulations of the OFAC (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.

(a)          Seller’s Assignment. Seller may assign its rights and obligations in whole or in part under this Contract without the consent of Purchaser.
 
35

(b)         Purchaser’s Assignment. The obligations of the Purchaser under this Contract are personal in nature, and neither this Contract nor any rights, interests, or obligations of Purchaser under this Contract may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of Seller, except that Purchaser may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of Seller, to (i) any affiliate of Purchaser, or (ii) any third-party from which Purchaser has a contractual right to acquire the Lots pursuant to an option agreement or similar arrangement with such third-party, but Purchaser shall not be released from any obligations hereunder.
 
25.         Survival. All covenants and agreements of either party which are intended to be performed in whole or in part after any Closing or termination of this Contract, and all representations, warranties and indemnities by either party to the other under this Contract shall survive such Closing or termination of this Contract and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that Seller’s Representations pursuant to this Contract shall survive each respective Closing for a period of six (6) months, and any action by Purchaser based on a breach of any of such Seller’s Representations must be brought within such six (6) month period.
 
26.        Condemnation. If a condemnation action is filed or either party receives written notice from any competent condemning authority of intent to condemn which directly affects any Lot or Lots which Purchaser has a right to purchase, either party may at its sole discretion by written notice to the other party within ten (10) days following receipt of such condemnation notice terminate this Contract as to the Lots subject to the condemnation action and receive a refund of a prorata portion of the Deposit with respect to those Lots only, and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations with respect to those Lots. If the right to terminate is not exercised by either party, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Lot in question and upon exercise of the right to purchase the Lot, the Closing shall proceed in accordance with the terms of this Contract. Any condemnation award shall be paid to the party who is the owner of the affected Lot at the time the award is determined by the condemning authority.
 
27.       Brokers. Each Party does hereby represent that it has not engaged any broker, finder, or real estate agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract. Each party agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all fees, brokerage and other commissions or costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, damages or claims which may result from any broker, agent or finder, licensed or otherwise, claiming through, under or by reason of the conduct of either of them respectively in connection with the purchase of the Lots by Purchaser.
 
28.         Default and Remedies. Time is of the essence hereof. If any amount received as a Deposit hereunder or any other payment due hereunder is not paid by Purchaser, honored or tendered when due and payable, or if each Closing is not consummated as required in accordance with Section 8 above, or if any other covenant, agreement, obligation or condition hereunder is not performed or waived as herein provided within five (5) days (or such longer period as required under this Contract) after the party failing to perform the same has received written notice of such failure, there shall be the following remedies:
 
36

(a)         Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser is in default under this Contract, Seller may terminate this Contract, in which event the Deposit shall be forfeited and retained on behalf of Seller, and both parties shall, except as otherwise provided herein, thereafter be released from all obligations hereunder. It is agreed that, except as otherwise provided in this subpart (a) and in subparts (c) and (d) below and except with respect to the indemnification by Purchaser in Sections 10, 12 and 27 above, such payments and things of value are LIQUIDATED DAMAGES and are SELLER’S SOLE AND ONLY REMEDY for Purchaser’s failure to perform the obligations of this Contract prior to the Closing. Except as otherwise provided in this Contract, Seller expressly waives the remedies of specific performance and additional damages with respect to a default by Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other contrary provision of this Contract, Seller’s right to file a claim against Purchaser in accordance with any provision of this Contract pursuant to which Purchaser agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Seller from and against any losses, costs, claims, causes of action or liabilities of any kind or nature, or pursuant to which Purchaser waives any rights or claims that it may have against Seller, shall survive for twelve (12) months after any termination of this Contract, and shall be and remain fully enforceable against Purchaser for said twelve (12) month period in accordance with the terms of this Contract and applicable laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other indemnity provision contained herein, Purchaser shall not be liable for and Seller shall not be entitled to recover from Purchaser exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, lost profits or any other damages.
 
(b)          Seller’s Default. If Seller is in default under this Contract, Purchaser may elect AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY either: (i) to treat this Contract as canceled, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the right to recover, as damages, all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by it in negotiating this Contract and in inspecting, analyzing or otherwise performing its rights and obligations pursuant to this Contract, but in no event will the amount of such damages exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); or (ii) Purchaser may elect to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect and Purchaser shall have a right to specific performance, provided that any such action for specific performance must be commenced within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable notice and cure period provided herein, and, in the event specific performance is not available, then Purchaser may pursue the remedy set forth in clause (i) above. Seller shall not be liable for and Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, lost profits or any other damages (except for recovery of out‑of‑pocket expenses as set forth in clause (i) above).
 
(c)        Indemnity.

If possible, such easements shall be located within the boundaries of existing easement areas. Grantor, at its sole expense, shall immediately restore the land and improvements thereon to their prior condition to the extent of any damage incurred due to Grantor’s utilization of the easements herein reserved.

Reservation of Minerals and Mineral Rights. To the extent owned by Grantor, Grantor herein expressly excepts and reserves unto itself, its successors and assigns, all right, title and interest in and to all minerals and mineral rights, including bonuses, rents, royalties, royalty interests and other benefits that may be payable as a result of any oil, gas, gravel, minerals or mineral rights on, in, under or that may be produced from the Property, including, but not limited to, all gravel, sand, oil, gas and other liquid hydrocarbon substances, casinghead gas, coal, carbon dioxide, helium, geothermal resources, and all other naturally occurring elements, compounds and substances, whether similar or dissimilar, organic or inorganic, metallic or non-metallic, in whatever form and whether occurring, found, extracted or removed in solid, liquid or gaseous state, or in combination, association or solution with other mineral or non-mineral substances, provided that Grantor expressly waives all rights to use or damage the surface of the Property to exercise the rights reserved in this paragraph and, without limiting such waiver, Grantor’s activities in extracting or otherwise dealing with the minerals and mineral rights shall not cause disturbance or subsidence of the surface of the Property or any improvements on the Property.

Reservation of Water and Water Rights. To the extent owned by Grantor, Grantor herein expressly excepts and reserves unto itself, its successors and assigns, all water and water rights, ditches and ditch rights, reservoirs and reservoir rights, streams and stream rights, water wells and well rights, whether tributary, non-tributary or not non-tributary, including, but not limited to, all right, title and interest under C.R.S. 37-90-137 on, underlying, appurtenant to or now or historically used on or in connection with the Property, whether appropriated, conditionally appropriated or unappropriated, and whether adjudicated or unadjudicated, including, without limitation, all State Engineer filings, well registration statements, well permits, decrees and pending water court applications, if any, and all water well equipment or other personalty or fixtures currently used for the supply, diversion, storage, treatment or distribution of water on or in connection with the Property, and all water and ditch stock relating thereto; provided that Grantor expressly waives all rights to use or damage the surface of the Property to exercise the rights reserved in this paragraph and, without limiting such waiver, Grantor’s activities in dealing with the water and water rights herein reserved shall not cause disturbance or subsidence of the surface of the Property or any improvements on the Property.

Reimbursements and Credits. Grantee shall have no right to any reimbursements and/or cost-sharing agreements pursuant to any agreements entered into between Grantor or any of Grantor’s affiliates and third parties which may or may not affect the Property. In addition, Grantee acknowledges that Grantor, its affiliates or one (1) or more metropolitan district(s) have installed or may install certain infrastructure improvements (“Infrastructure Improvements”) and/or donate, dedicate and/or convey certain rights, improvements and/or real property (“Dedications”) to Arapahoe County (“County”) or other governmental authority (“Authority”) which benefit all or any part of the Property, together with adjacent properties, and which entitle Grantor or its affiliates and/or the Property or any part thereof to certain reimbursements by the County or other Authority or credits by the County or other Authority for park fees, open space fees, school impact fees, capital expansion fees and other governmental fees which would otherwise be required to be paid to the County or other Authority by the owner of the Property or any part thereof from time to time (“Governmental Fees”).

In addition, Grantee acknowledges that Grantee or its affiliate(s) may have negotiated or may negotiate with the County or other Authority for reimbursements to Grantor or its affiliates.

1.            “Finished Lot Improvements” means the following improvements on, to or with respect to the Lots or in public streets or tracts in the locations as required by all approving Authorities to obtain building permits for home improvements for the Lots, and substantially in accordance with the CDs:

(a)          overlot grading together with corner pins for each Lot installed in place, graded to match the specified Lot drainage template within the CDs (but not any Overex);

(b)          water and sanitary sewer mains and other required installations in connection therewith identified in the CDs, valve boxes and meter pits, substantially in accordance with the CDs approved by the approving Authorities, together with appropriate markers;

(c)          storm sewer mains, inlets and other associated storm drainage improvements pertaining to the Lots in the public streets as shown on the CDs;

(d)          curb, gutter, asphalt, sidewalks, street striping, street signage, traffic signs, traffic signals (if any are required by the approving Authorities), and other street improvements, in the private and/or public streets as shown on the CDs; Seller will either have applied a final lift of asphalt or in Seller’s discretion posted sufficient financial guarantees as required by the County for the Lots to qualify for issuance of building permits in lieu of such final lift of asphalt;

C-1

2.            Dry Utilities. Electricity, natural gas, and telephone service will be installed by local utility companies. The installations may not be completed at the time of a Closing, and are not part of the Finish Lot Improvements; provided, however, that: (i) with respect to electric distribution lines and street lights, Seller will have signed an agreement with the electric utility service provider and paid all costs and fees for the installation of electric distribution lines and facilities to serve the Lots, and all sleeves necessary for electric, gas, telephone and/or cable television service to the Lots will be installed; (ii) with respect to gas distribution lines, Seller will have signed an agreement with the gas utility service provider and paid all costs and fees for the installation of gas distribution lines and facilities to serve the Lots. Seller will take commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in coordinating with these utility companies to provide final electric, gas, telephone and cable television service to the residences on the Lots, however, Purchaser must activate such services through an end user contract. Purchaser acknowledges that in some cases the telephone and cable companies may not have pulled the main line through the conduit if no closings of residences have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if dry utilities have not been installed upon Substantial Completion of the Finished Lot Improvements, Seller shall be obligated to have contracted for same and paid all costs and fees payable for such installation. Unless Seller has contracted for such installation and paid such costs before the Effective Date, Seller will give Purchaser notice when such contracts have been entered and such costs paid. With respect to any Finished Lot Improvements that are required by the subdivision improvement agreement applicable to the Lots but which are not addressed as part of the Finished Lot Improvements, and any other improvements which are not required for the issuance of building permits but which are required by the Authorities so that dwellings and other improvements constructed by Purchaser on the Lots are eligible for the issuance of certificates of occupancy for homes, Seller shall complete such other improvements, to the extent required by the County, so as not to delay the issuance of certificates of occupancy for residences constructed by Purchaser on the Lots.

3.            Tree Lawns/Sidewalks. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to construct, install, maintain or pay for the maintenance, construction and installation of (i) any landscaping or irrigation for such landscaping behind the curb on any Lot that is to be maintained by the owner of such lot (collectively, “Tree Lawns”), but Seller shall be responsible for constructing and installing the detached sidewalks and ramps (collectively, “Sidewalks”) that are located immediately adjacent to any Lot or on a tract as required by the approved CDs, County, or any other Authority and/or applicable laws as provided in this Contract. Purchaser shall be responsible for installing any other lead walks, pathways, and driveways and any other flatwork on the Lots. Purchaser shall install all Tree Lawns on or adjacent to the Lots in accordance with all applicable CDs, requirements, regulations, laws, development codes and building codes of all Authorities.

4.            Warranty.

(a)          Government Warranty Period. The Authorities require warranty periods (each a “Government Warranty Period”) after the final completion that is applicable to those Finished Lots Improvements that are dedicated to or owned, and accepted for maintenance by the Authorities (the “Public Improvements”). In the event defects in the Public Improvements to which a governmental warranty (each a “Governmental Warranty”) applies become apparent during the applicable Government Warranty Period, then Seller shall coordinate the repairs with the applicable Authorities and cause the service provider(s) who performed the work or supplied the materials in which the defect(s) appear to complete such repairs or, if such service providers fail to correct such defects, otherwise cause such defects to be repaired to the satisfaction of the Authorities. Any costs and expenses incurred pursuant to a Government Warranty in connection with any repairs or warranty work performed during the Government Warranty Period (including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to enforce any warranties against any service providers) shall be borne by Seller, unless such defect was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, in which event Purchaser shall pay all such costs and expenses to the extent such defect was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents.

C-2

(b)          Non-Government Warranty Period. Seller warrants (“Non-Government Warranty”) to Purchaser that each Finished Lot Improvement, other than the Public Improvements, shall have been constructed in accordance with the CDs for one (1) year from the date of Substantial Completion of the Improvement (the “Non-Government Warranty Period”). If Purchaser delivers written notice to Seller of breach of the Non-Government Warranty during the Non-Government Warranty Period, then Seller shall coordinate the corrections with Purchaser and cause the service provider(s) who performed the work or supplied the materials in which the breach of Non-Government Warranty appears to complete such corrections or, if such service providers fail to make such corrections, otherwise cause such corrections to be made to the reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with a breach of the Non-Government Warranty shall be borne by Seller (including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to enforce any warranties against service providers), unless such breach was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, in which event Purchaser shall pay all such costs and expenses to the extent the breach was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents.

(c)          EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 3, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO PURCHASER IN RELATION TO THE FINISHED LOT IMPROVEMENTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OF THE SAME AND SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO REPAIR OR CORRECT AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY DEFECT IN IMPROVEMENTS FOR WHICH NO CLAIM IS ASSERTED DURING THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD.  If and to the extent C.R.S. 13.20-806(7) applies with respect to any claim arising out of residential property, nothing in this Agreement is intended to constitute a waiver of, or limitation on, the legal rights, remedies or damages provided by the Construction Defect Action Reform Act, C.R.S. 13-20-801 et seq., or provided by the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, Article 1 of Title 6, C.R.S., as described in the Construction Defect Action Reform Act, or on the ability to enforce such legal rights, remedies, or damages within the time provided by applicable statutes of limitation or repose.

FORM OF LOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT

LOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT
Sky Ranch – Phase B
(Challenger Homes)

THIS LOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “LDA”) is made as of the ___ day of _____________, 202__ (the “Effective Date”), by and between PCY HOLDINGS, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Developer”), and CHALLENGER DENVER, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Builder,”).  Developer and Builder are sometimes individually referred to as a “Party” and collectively referred to as the “Parties.”

RECITALS
 
A.         Developer owns certain real property located in Arapahoe County (the “County”), Colorado which Developer is developing as part of the Sky Ranch master planned residential community (“Development”). The preliminary concept map for Phase B of the Development (“Concept Plan”) is depicted on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Property”). The Development is being subdivided in several subdivision filings and developed in phases. The Builder Lots in each phase are generally depicted on the Concept Plan.
 
B.          Pursuant to the terms of a separate Contract for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate by and between Developer, as seller, and Builder, as purchaser, as may be amended from time to time (the “Contract”), Builder is acquiring from Developer a portion of the Property consisting of approximately 163 single family residential lots (collectively, the “Builder Lots”) at four (4) closings (each, a “Takedown”, and collectively, the “Takedowns”), as more specifically described on Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
 
C.          Pursuant to the Contract, Developer has agreed to construct, or cause to be constructed, those public infrastructure improvements described in the construction plans and specifications that have been approved by the Approving Authorities (the “Plans”) and which relate to the final plat(s) of the Property (each, a “Plat”) and the corresponding subdivision improvement agreement (“SIA”) as identified in Exhibit B attached hereto (“Improvements”).  To the extent that Developer has not obtained Final Approval (as defined in the Contract) of any of the Plans as of the Effective Date, then at such time as any such Plans have been so approved, and to the extent required, Exhibit B will be replaced by an updated list of the final approved Plans by amendment to this LDA (“Revised Exhibit B”).

D.          As required by the terms of the Contract, Builder has agreed (i) to pay the Initial Purchase Price (as defined in the Contract) for the Builder Lots that the Builder acquires at a Closing; and (ii) pay that portion of the Purchase Price for the Builder Lots defined as the Deferred Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the terms and provisions of this LDA as the Improvements are completed and as more particularly set forth herein.
 
E-1

E.          The Parties now desire to enter into this LDA in order to set forth the terms and conditions under which the Improvements will be constructed by the Developer and provide for the payment of the Improvements, together with such other matters as are set forth hereinafter.

AGREEMENT

NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Developer and Builder agree as follows:

1.           Incorporation of Recitals.  The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to the Recitals set forth above, which are incorporated herein by this reference.
 
2.           Definitions.  Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this LDA and not defined in this LDA shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Contract.

3.           Responsibilities of Developer and Builder.

3.1.        Constructing Party.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that, as of the Effective Date hereof, Developer is the constructing party hereunder with the obligation to construct, or cause to be constructed, the public infrastructure improvements as provided herein, subject to the rights of Builder and the other builders within the Development, as set forth in Section 4.6, (and the other builders within the Development as set forth in such builders’ respective LDA), to appoint either Builder or another qualified third party as a Substitute Constructing Party to assume and take over the construction of the Improvements.  Any exercise by Builder of the Builder’s Step-In Option (under Section 4.6), or any similar exercise by another builder within the Development of its step-in option, shall apply only with respect to completion of the Improvements to serve the Phase in which such step-in option was exercised.

3.2.        Generally.  Developer shall construct, or cause to be constructed, the Improvements in substantial conformance with the approved Plans.  Developer will coordinate, administer, and oversee (a) the preparation and filing of all applications, filings, submittals, plans and specifications, and other documents pertaining to construction and installation of the Improvements and (b) construction and installation of the Improvements.  Developer may engage or cause to be engaged consultants, contractors and subcontractors who will be responsible for the construction of the Improvements and suppliers who will be responsible for supplying labor, materials, equipment, services and other work in connection with the construction of the Improvements (“Service Provider(s)”), pursuant to the Construction Contracts (as hereinafter defined).  Developer and Builder acknowledge and agree that the Developer may perform its obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part, by acting as the project manager (“PM”) for Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (the “CAB”) and/or the Sky Ranch Metropolitan District No. 3 (“District”) pursuant to one or more project management service agreements (collectively, the “Service Agreements”) under which the Developer will coordinate, manage and administer the construction of the Improvements for the CAB and/or the District.  In either such event, Developer may cause the engagement of the Service Providers for and on behalf of the CAB and/or the District, as applicable, with respect to Improvements that are constructed by the applicable entity, but Developer shall not be released from its obligation to Builder to cause the completion of the Improvements, whether or not Developer acts as PM for the CAB or the District. Each Service Agreement will permit assignment thereof by Developer to Builder in the event Builder becomes the Substitute Constructing Party (as set forth in Section 4.6.3).
 
E-2

3.3.         Legal Requirements; Bonds and Assurances.  Developer will comply with all applicable laws in performing its obligations under this LDA.  As part of the Costs, Developer shall provide to all applicable Approving Authorities any bonds, assurance agreements, or other financial assurances required with respect to the construction of the Improvements and provide to all applicable Approving Authorities all warranties, bonds and other financial assurances required to obtain permits for, and the preliminary and final acceptance and approval of, the Improvements.  Builder shall take all commercially reasonable actions and execute all documents requested by the Developer (at no cost or liability to Builder) in its efforts to obtain releases of all such warranties, bonds, and other financial assurances upon final acceptance of the Improvements by the Approving Authorities.
 
3.4.         Taxes, Fees and Permits.  Developer, or the Service Providers, shall pay all applicable sales, use, and other similar taxes pertaining to the construction of the Improvements, and shall secure and pay for all approvals, easements, assessments, charges, permits and governmental fees, licenses and inspections necessary for proper construction and completion of the Improvements, subject to the terms of the Contract and except as otherwise provided in this LDA.
 
3.5.         Dedications.  Developer and Builder shall timely make all conveyances and dedications of the Improvements as to any Improvements owned by such Party if and as required by the Approving Authorities, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances.
 
3.6.         Indemnity.  Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Builder and its owners, employees, members, managers, directors, officers, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns (each a “Builder Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Builder Indemnitees”) for, from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (exclusive of special, consequential, punitive, consequential and lost profits damages), costs and expenses, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of material damage caused by Developer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the construction of the Improvements undertaken by the Developer.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer shall not be obligated under this LDA to indemnify the Builder to the extent such liabilities result from the negligence or willful misconduct of any Builder Indemnitee and Developer shall not be obligated hereby to indemnify Builder for any claims arising out of geologic, soils, ground water or other physical conditions affecting the Lots, or underdrains systems installed by the Developer according to Plans reviewed and approved by Builder.  Builder shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Developer and its respective owners, affiliates, employees, members, managers, directors, officers, agents, successors and assigns (each an “Developer Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Developer Indemnitees”) for, from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (i) Builder’s or its successor’s development, construction, use, ownership, management, marketing or sales activities associated with the Lots and the Property (including, without limitation, land development, grading, excavation, trenching, and soils compaction, and construction on the Builder Lots performed by or on behalf of a Builder); (ii) the soils, subsurface geologic, groundwater or other physical conditions present on or affecting the Builder Lots; (iii) any change subsequent to the Effective Date in the Entitlements to the extent that the change was caused, requested or made by Builder or the design of any residence for which Builder obtained approval from Seller in accordance with Section 12(d) of the Contract (each a “Home”, and collectively, the “Homes”) constructed on the Builder Lots; or (e) homeowner claims asserting or relating to any implied warranty of habitability, merchantability, or fitness for any particular purpose in connection with Builder’s construction of one or more Homes on the Builder Lots.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Builder shall not be obligated under this LDA to indemnify, defend or hold harmless Developer from claims arising solely out of a successor’s development, construction, use, ownership, management, marketing or sales activities associated with the Builder Lots and the Property if such successor is approved by Developer and gives Developer a substitute indemnity that is equivalent to the indemnity provided by the Builder under this Section 3.6 and such successor is financially sound as reasonably determined by Developer. Obligations under this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this LDA.
 
E-3

3.7.        Insurance.  Developer shall procure and maintain, or shall cause the Service Providers to procure and maintain, the insurance described in Exhibit C attached hereto during the construction of the Improvements and any warranty work performed on the Improvements.
 
3.8.         Independent Contractor.  Developer is an independent contractor and neither Developer nor its employees are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits or unemployment insurance benefits through Builder as a result of performing under the LDA.  The Developer is responsible for and obligated to pay all assessable federal and state income tax on amounts earned or paid under this LDA.
 
4.           Construction of Improvements.
 
4.1.         Plans and Specifications.  To the extent that Developer has not obtained Final Approval of all of the Plans as of the Effective Date, Developer shall (i) diligently finalize, process and obtain approval of the Plans from the applicable Approving Authorities and (ii) apply to the utility service provider for the preparation of electric, gas and telephone dry utility plans (“Utility Plans”).  If and to the extent Developer receive copies of the approved Utility Plans from the applicable utility service provider, then upon receipt of any such approved Utility Plans, Developer will, upon written request by Builder, furnish Builder with a copy of such Utility Plans.  If after Final Approval of the Plans, Developer elects to amend such Plans in a manner that will result in a Material Change (defined below), then Developer shall provide written notice of such Material Change (a “Notice of Material Change”) to Builder if the Builder Lots are affected by the change.  The Notice of Material Change shall describe the modification to the Plans requested by Developer.  Builder shall have five (5) business days after receipt of the Notice of Material Change to object to the proposed Material Change (a “Notice of Material Change Objection”).  Each Notice of Material Change Objection shall describe revisions to the Material Change that would render it acceptable to Builder.  If Builder fails to give a timely Notice of Material Change Objection to Developer, the Material Change shall be deemed approved by Builder.  If Developer performs any Material Change without first providing Builder with a Notice of Material Change, or after receiving a Notice of Material Change Objection, which objection has not been resolved in accordance with the following provisions, then Developer shall assume responsibility for the cost of correcting any damage resulting from such action.  Within five (5) business days after delivery to Developer of a Notice of Material Change Objection, Developer and Builder shall meet to approve or reject the Material Change.  If Developer and Builder cannot reach an acceptable resolution regarding the Notice of Material Change Objection, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the arbitration provision set forth in Section 7 below.  For purposes of this Section 4.1, a “Material Change” shall consist only of the following changes to the approved Plans for the Improvements to be installed for the benefit of the Property which have previously been approved by the applicable Approving Authorities:
 
E-4

4.1.1.     Reduction of the total number of Builder Lots available for the construction of Homes by more than 10% in any phase or a reduction in the width of the building envelope below the minimum dimension required by the Contract.
 
4.1.2.     Changes greater than one half (1/2) of one (1) foot to the proposed finish grade elevation for any of the Builder Lots.
 
4.1.3.     Changes that prevent the construction of a Home on any Builder Lot.
 
4.2.        Construction Standard.  Developer shall cause the applicable Improvements to be constructed in accordance with the Construction Standard and shall obtain preliminary and final acceptance thereof by all Approving Authorities.  As used herein, the term “Construction Standard” means construction and installation of the Improvements in a good, workmanlike and lien‑free manner and in substantial conformity with the Plans (as may be modified pursuant to the terms hereof), in compliance with the terms of the SIA which corresponds to the Plat(s) containing the applicable Builder Lots, and in substantial conformity with the applicable requirements of the Approving Authorities and the “Finished Lot Standard” set forth on Exhibit D attached hereto.  The Construction Standard does not include, and Developer shall have no obligation with respect to, any so-called “over excavation” or comparable preparation or mitigation of the soil (hereinafter defined as the “Overex”) on the Builder Lots, and the Developer shall have no obligation to complete any Improvement required by the SIA (or any Plat), which is not necessary to obtain building permits (or certificates of occupancy) for the Builder Lots included in the applicable Phase.  Builder shall be solely and exclusively responsible with respect to any Overex that the Builder determines to undertake on the Builder Lots.  The terms and provision of Section 10(e) (Over Excavation) of the Contract are hereby incorporated herein by this reference.  The Parties, including as applicable any Substitute Constructing Party, shall reasonably cooperate in coordinating the Builder’s completion of the Overex so that the Overex can be properly sequenced with Developer’s completion of the Improvements.  In no event shall Developer be liable to Builder for any delay, costs or damages incurred with respect to such Overex, even if caused by any delay in installation of Improvements sequenced ahead of the Overex and such any delay shall extend, on a day-for-day basis, the applicable Substantial Completion Deadline (as set forth herein).
 
E-5

4.3.        Construction Contracts for Work.  Developer and contractors of Developer shall construct and/or contract for all of the work and materials for the construction of the applicable Improvements.  Developer shall have the right to bid, pursue, negotiate, agree to and execute contracts and agreements with Service Providers for the work and materials comprising the Improvements (each a “Construction Contract” and collectively, the “Construction Contracts”), based upon forms that Developer deems necessary or appropriate in its commercially reasonable discretion.  Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) cause each Construction Contract to identify Builder as an intended third-party beneficiary of such Construction Contract (including, without limitation, the warranty and indemnity provisions thereof); (ii) require the Service Provider to name the Builder as additional insured on all required insurance maintained by the Service Provider for a period expiring not sooner than final acceptance of the Improvements by the applicable Approving Authority for which such Service Provider furnished materials or work; (iii) require the Service Providers to provide a warranty on materials and labor supplied by such Service Provider for a period coterminous with the warranty period required by the applicable Approving Authorities for Improvements to be dedicated to an Approving Authority; (iv) require the Service Provider to perform its work in accordance with the Construction Standard; (v) require the Service Provider to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Developer from all claims and causes of action arising from the negligent acts or omissions or intentional misconduct of the Service Provider or its employees or agents; (vi) permit retainage in an amount of at least five percent (5%) of the amounts payable to the Service Provider, until the work to be completed pursuant to such contract has been substantially completed and, if applicable, granted initial acceptance by the applicable Approving Authority; and (vii) provide for no limitation on remedies against the Service Provider for a default except the prohibition of recovery of punitive damages.  Upon receipt of written request from Builder, Developer shall deliver a copy of each Construction Contract to Builder.
 
4.4.        Commencement and Completion Dates.  Developer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause construction of the Improvements to be commenced and completed as follows:

4.4.1.      Commencement; Construction Schedule; Completion.  The Improvements will be completed in phases consisting of one phase with respect to the Takedown 1 Lots, one subsequent phase with respect to the Takedown 2 Lots, one subsequent phase with respect to the Takedown 3 Lots, and one subsequent phase with respect to the Takedown 4 Lots, for a total of four (4) phases (each a “Phase”).  Developer shall cause Substantial Completion (as hereinafter defined) of the Improvements in each Phase to occur on or before the applicable deadline therefor (each, a “Substantial Completion Deadline”), subject to Section 4.4.2 below.  The Substantial Completion of the first Phase of Improvements (“Phase 1”) shall occur on or before that date which is twelve (12) months after the First Closing of the Takedown 1 Lots (the “Phase 1 Completion Deadline”); Substantial Completion of the second Phase of Improvements (“Phase 2”) shall occur on or before that date which is the later of (a) twelve (12) months after the Second Closing of the Takedown 2 Lots and (b) ____________, 20__ (the “Phase 2 Completion Deadline”); Substantial Completion of the third Phase of Improvements (“Phase 3”) shall occur on or before that date which is the later of (i) twelve (12) months after the Third Closing of the Takedown 3 Lots and (ii) ____________, 20__ (the “Phase 3 Completion Deadline”); and Substantial Completion of the fourth Phase of Improvements (“Phase 4”) shall occur on or before that date which is the later of (A) twelve (12) months after the Fourth Closing of the Takedown 4 Lots and (B) ____________, 20__ (the “Phase 4 Completion Deadline”).  Developer may cause Improvements to be constructed and installed as Developer deems necessary, in the Developer’s commercially reasonable discretion, to coordinate such Improvements with the development of portions of the Development other than the Property; or cause Improvements to be constructed and installed in accordance with scheduling requirements of the County and other Approving Authorities or in advance of the Substantial Completion dates set forth above.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Developer shall have no obligation to install landscaping during the months of October through April.
 
E-6

4.4.2.     Force Majeure.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this LDA, the Substantial Completion Deadline for each Phase and the time for performance of any other Developer obligation under this LDA shall be extended if such performance or progress in construction of the Improvements is delayed due to any Dispute, as defined below, acts or failures to act of any Approving Authority, strike, riot, act of war, act of terrorism, act of violence, weather, act of God, epidemic/pandemic, or any other act, occurrence or non-occurrence beyond Developer’s reasonable control (each, an “Uncontrollable Event”).  Any extension under the preceding sentence shall continue for a length of time reasonably necessary to satisfy such delayed obligation; provided, however, that such extension shall not be for a period of time which is less than the duration of the Uncontrollable Event.  If Developer claims a delay due to an Uncontrollable Event, then Developer shall provide written notice to the Builder of the occurrence of a condition that constitutes an Uncontrollable Event, which notice shall reasonably detail the reason(s) giving rise to the Uncontrollable Event and a reasonable estimation duration (to the extent determinable at the time of such notice) of the delay that was caused by the Uncontrollable Event.  Developer will make efforts to minimize the delay from any such Uncontrollable Event to the extent reasonably feasible; provided, however, that Developer shall not be required to use extraordinary means and/or incur extraordinary costs in order to satisfy its obligations hereunder.
 
4.5.        Substantial Completion.
 
4.5.1.     Definition of Substantial Completion.  “Substantial Completion” of the Improvements (or applicable component thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred when; (a) the Improvements (or applicable component thereof) have been installed pursuant to the Construction Standard and shall be substantially complete so that Builder is not precluded from obtaining from the Approving Authorities building permits for Homes constructed, or to be constructed, on any Builder Lots solely as a result of such Improvements (or applicable component thereof) not being complete; and (b) no mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens shall have then been filed against any of the Builder Lots with respect to the Improvements and final unconditional lien waivers have been obtained from the Service Providers that constructed the Improvements (or applicable portion thereof), or the Developer has obtained a bond to insure over any such mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, with respect to any Improvements that are required pursuant to the Construction Standard (or the applicable subdivision improvement agreement), but which are not required by the Approving Authority to obtain building permits, but are necessary prior to the issuance of certificates of occupancy for Homes on the Builder Lots, completion of such Improvements is not required to achieve Substantial Completion, but the Developer shall either: (a) complete or cause the completion of such other Improvements at a later time, or (b) post such collateral, as required by the Approving Authorities in order to obtain certificates of occupancy; so as not to delay the issuance of certificates of occupancy for Homes constructed by Builder on the Builder Lots.
 
E-7

4.5.2.     Inspection.
 
(a)          Notice to Builder.  Developer shall notify the Builder in writing when Substantial Completion of the Improvements (or applicable component thereof) on the Builder Lots has been achieved, except for minor punch-list work which does not affect the ability to obtain building permits or certificates of occupancy, as applicable, for Homes on the Builder Lots.  Within ten (10) days after receipt by the Builder such notice from the Developer, the Parties shall jointly inspect the Improvements (or applicable component thereof) on the Builder Lots and produce a punchlist (“Builder Punchlist”).  The Builder Punchlist may not contain any items other than incomplete Improvements or components thereof, deficient or defective construction of the Improvements or components thereof, or failure to construct the Improvements or components thereof in accordance with the Construction Standard.  Builder shall not be able to object to, or provide Builder Punchlist items for, any portion of the Improvements previously inspected by the Builder except in the case of construction defects, or any portion of the Improvements constructed by Builder as the Substitute Constructing Party.  If the Parties are unable to agree upon a Builder Punchlist within five (5) business days after the joint inspection described above, then any dispute related to such Builder Punchlist shall be submitted to the expedited dispute resolution procedures in accordance with Section 7 below.  Upon written request by the Builder, the Developer will provide copies of any inspection reports or punchlists received from the Approving Authorities in connection with the inspection of the Improvements, and the Developer shall be responsible to correct punchlist items from the Approving Authority and items set forth on the Builder Punchlist.  In the event of a conflict between corrective action required by the Approving Authority and corrective action required by the Builder Punchlist, the punchlists received from the Approving Authorities shall control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, including any Builder Punchlist item, if an Approving Authority grants preliminary approval or construction acceptance of any of the Improvements, or, with respect to grading, if the engineer issues a certification with respect to the grading, fill and compaction in accordance with item (g) of Exhibit D, then it shall be conclusively presumed that such Improvement or work was completed in accordance with the Construction Standard, subject to completion of the punchlist items provided by the Approving Authority.  If an item is not identified as incomplete on the Builder Punchlist or any Approving Authority punchlist, then it shall conclusively be presumed that such Improvement was completed in accordance with the Construction Standard, and thereafter the Builder and not Developer, regardless of which Party is the constructing party, shall be responsible for repairing damage to such Improvement occurring after completion of the Builder Punchlist work unless such damage is determined either by agreement of the parties or pursuant to Section 7 of this LDA to be the result of a design or construction defect.  Disputes regarding Builder Punchlist items and matters will be resolved pursuant to the expedited dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 7 of this LDA.
 
(b)          Correction of Punchlist Items.  Developer shall cause any punchlist items to be corrected within the time required by the County or other applicable Approving Authorities.
 
E-8

(c)          Interim Inspections.  Upon reasonable prior notice, Builder may inspect the construction of the Improvements on the Builder Lots; provided, however, such inspection shall be (i) at the sole risk of Builder, (ii) such inspection shall be non-invasive and shall be performed in a manner that does not interfere with or result in a delay in the construction of the Improvements, and (iii) Builder shall indemnify Developer for any damage resulting from such inspection.
 
4.6.        Self-Help Remedy.
 
4.6.1.     Notice of Default.  If Developer does not Substantially Complete the Improvements in accordance with the Plans on or before the applicable Substantial Completion Deadline, as may be extended by any Uncontrollable Event (a “Constructing Party Default”), then the Builder may deliver to Developer written notice of such Constructing Party Default (a “Notice of Default”).  Developer shall have thirty (30) days after receipt of a Notice of Default from the Builder to cure the Constructing Party Default (the “Cure Period”); provided, however, if the nature of the Constructing Party Default is such that it cannot reasonably be cured within thirty (30) days, the Cure Period shall be deemed extended for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed an additional sixty (60) days) so long as Developer has commenced in good faith and with due diligence to cause such Constructing Party Default to be remedied.  If Developer does not timely cure the Constructing Party Default within the Cure Period, as may be extended pursuant to the preceding sentence or as a result of Uncontrollable Events (an “Event of Default”), then the Builder may elect to appoint either itself or another qualified third party (which may include another builder under contract with Developer to purchase lots within the Development, provided that such builder agrees to, and accepts, such appointment) (“Substitute Constructing Party”) to assume and take over the construction of the Improvements by providing written notice to Developer of its election (an “Assumption Notice”).  With respect to any Improvements that Developer causes to be constructed as PM for the CAB (or the District) under either Service Agreement, the Substitute Constructing Party’s right to take over the construction of the Improvement shall be the right to step into the rights of Developer as the PM under the Service Agreements and assume the role of the PM thereunder, including the right to submit draw requests to the CAB, or the District, for payment of Service Providers and other construction costs to complete the Improvements.  Substitute Constructing Party’s assumption of the construction of the Improvements shall not include the assumption of any liability for acts or omissions occurring prior to the Assumption Notice, or receipt of any cost savings prior to the Assumption Notice.  The Builder’s election to appoint a Substitute Constructing Party to assume and take over the construction of the Improvements and to exercise and enforce the rights and obligations set forth in Section 4.6.2 below shall thereafter be the Builder’s sole and exclusive remedy, except that the limitation on Builder’s remedies for a Constructing Party Default shall not apply to Developer’s indemnity obligations in this LDA.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 4.6 to the contrary, the rights of any party, including Builder, to step in and act as a Substitute Constructing Party, in place of Developer, shall apply only with respect to a Constructing Party Default pertaining the Developer’s failure to Substantially Complete the Improvements for a particular Phase and the Builder rights under this Section 4.6 must be exercised with respect to a Constructing Party Default on a phase-by-phase basis.

4.6.2.     Assumption Right.  If Builder delivers an Assumption Notice, or if Builder or another builder exercises the Builder’s Step-In Option with respect to the Joint Improvements (as such terms are defined below), then: (i) Developer shall cooperate to allow the Substitute Constructing Party to take over and complete the incomplete Improvements for the applicable Phase, including, as applicable, the execution and delivery to the Substitute Constructing Party of such agreements, documents or instruments as may be reasonably necessary to assign to the Substitute Constructing Party all Construction Contracts with third parties pertaining to the Improvements, and/or assignment of the Service Agreements so that Substitute Constructing Party can take over as PM thereunder; (ii) Developer shall be relieved of all further obligations under this LDA with respect to the completion of the incomplete Improvements for the applicable Phase; (iii) Developer shall remain liable for its gross negligence or willful misconduct, and any indemnification obligations specified herein incurred prior to the date of such Assumption Notice; and (iv) Substitute Constructing Party shall assume and perform all obligations under all Contracts and the Service Agreements pertaining to the construction of the Improvements for the applicable Phase which Substitute Constructing Party will complete to the extent such obligations are to be performed after the date of delivery of the Assumption Notice.  Upon delivery of an Assumption Notice, Substitute Constructing Party shall be obligated to complete or cause the completion of the Improvements for the applicable Phase and pay the Costs incurred thereafter by Substitute Constructing Party to complete such Improvements (subject to Developer’s funding obligation under the Joint Improvements Memorandum (as hereinafter defined), and Substitute Constructing Party’s rights as PM under the Service Agreements to process payments through the CAB and/or the District.  If a Substitute Constructing Party assumes the obligation to construct the Improvements for the applicable Phase, the Substitute Constructing Party shall use commercially reasonable and diligent efforts to Substantially Complete the applicable Improvements under existing Construction Contracts, construction budgets and other similar construction documents, and the Builder’s obligation for the payment of costs under Section 6 which are due and payable after the date of the Assumption Notice shall be suspended until Substantial Completion of the Improvements for the applicable Phase and thereupon all Costs incurred and paid by Builder shall be offset against the unpaid portions of the Deferred Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined).  If the amount of the unpaid portions of the Deferred Purchase Price is insufficient to offset the Costs incurred and paid by Builder, then Developer will pay to Builder the amount of the deficiency within thirty (30) days after Builder presents Developer with an invoice for such payment, including reasonable supporting documentation for the Cost incurred by Builder.  Invoices not paid within thirty (30) days after receipt shall bear simple interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum (the “Default Interest Rate”) until paid.  In the event of an Assumption Notice, the Substitute Constructing Party shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Developer and its members, managers, shareholders, employees, directors, officers, agents, affiliates, successors and assigns for, from and against all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages (exclusive of special, consequential, punitive, speculative or lost profits damages), costs and expenses, including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, that accrue after the date of the Assumption Notice and arise out of the Substitute Constructing Party’s completion of the Improvements, and this indemnity shall not apply to any claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses, acts or omissions arising or accruing before the date of the Assumption  Notice.  The obligations under this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this LDA.

4.6.3.      Appointment of Substitute Constructing Party.  For purposes of exercising the self-help remedies set forth in this Section 4.6 with respect to an Event of Default, Builder may elect to appoint either itself or another Substitute Constructing Party (which may include another builder under contract with Developer to purchase lots within the Development, provided that such builder agrees to, and accepts, such appointment) who shall then have the right and authority to act pursuant to the self-help provisions of this Section 4.6 (“Designated Builder”).  If the cure of an Event of Default requires the construction or completion of Improvements that serve the Builder Lots and other lots that are owned by another builder that is under contract with Developer for the completion of such Improvements (the “Joint Improvements”), then Builder shall have the non-exclusive right, but not the obligation, to step in and complete such Joint Improvements pursuant to the self-help provisions of this Section 4.6 (“Builder’s Step-In Option”).  If Builder desires to exercise the Builder’s Step-In Option, it shall give notice thereof to Developer and the other builders; provided, that, the first builder to give such notice, shall be deemed the Substitute Constructing Party authorized to act on behalf of all such builders pursuant to the self-help provisions of this Section 4.6 (or such similar provisions set forth in such other builder’s LDA) with respect to the Joint Improvements.  The Developer, Builder, the other builders(s) affected by any joint improvements and the Title Company will at Closing execute a “Joint Improvements Memorandum” that describes the rights and obligations of Developer, Builder, such other builder(s) and Title Company and such document will supplement this LDA regarding the installation and construction of any Joint Improvements.  The form of the Joint Improvements Memorandum is attached hereto as Exhibit F.
 
4.7.         Over-Excavation of Lots.  The Parties acknowledge that the Improvements shall not include Overex of the Builder Lots.  Builder, with respect to its Builder Lots shall, at its sole cost, cause the Overex to be performed, and shall have the right to enter such Builder Lots for the purposes of performing the Overex; provided, however, that such entry shall be performed in a manner that does not interfere with or result in a delay or an increase in the Costs or any expenses in the construction of the Improvements, and provided further that Builder shall promptly repair any portion of the Builder Lots and adjacent property that is damaged by Builder or its agents, designees, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in performing the Overex.  THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT DEVELOPER IS NOT PERFORMING ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE BUILDER LOTS AND THAT THE DEVELOPER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE BUILDER LOTS OR EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE BUILDER LOTS AND DEVELOPER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE BUILDER LOTS AND EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE BUILDER LOTS.  BUILDER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS DEVELOPER AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FOR, FROM AND AGAINST ALL CLAIMS, DEMANDS, LIABILITIES, LOSSES, DAMAGES (EXCLUSIVE OF SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, SPECULATIVE OR LOST PROFITS DAMAGES), COSTS AND EXPENSES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO COURT COSTS AND REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES, ARISING OUT OF ANY EXPANSIVE SOILS, OVER-EXCAVATION OR OTHER SOIL MITIGATION OR BUILDER’S ELECTION NOT TO PERFORM SOILS MITIGATION, ON OR PERTAINING TO THE BUILDER LOTS.  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 4.7 SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS LDA.

4.8.        Warranty Periods.
 
4.8.1.     Government Warranty Period.  The Approving Authorities may require a warranty period after the Substantial Completion of the Improvements (a “Government Warranty Period”). In the event defects in the Improvements to which a governmental warranty applies become apparent during the Government Warranty Period, then Developer shall coordinate the repairs with the applicable Approving Authorities and cause the Service Provider(s) who performed the work or supplied the materials in which the defect(s) appear to complete such repairs or, if such Service Providers fail to correct such defects, otherwise cause such defects to be repaired to the satisfaction of the Approving Authorities.  Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with any repairs or warranty work performed during the Government Warranty Period (including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to enforce any warranties against any Service Providers) shall be borne by the Developer, except for damage that was caused by the Builder or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, in which event the Builder shall pay all such costs and expenses to the extent caused by Builder or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents.  Any damage to an Improvement that was not listed on the Builder Punchlist shall be presumed to have been caused by the Builder, or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, unless the Builder conclusively proves that the damage was caused by a third party or as the result of a design or construction defect in the original construction by Developer as determined by agreement of the parties or as determined in a legal proceeding pursuant to the Expedited Dispute procedure in Section 7, below.
 
E-12

4.8.2.     Non-Government Warranty Period.  Developer shall warrant (“Non-Government Warranty”) to Builder each Improvement to which a Governmental Warranty Period does not apply shall have been constructed in accordance with the Plans for one (1) year from the date of Substantial Completion of such Improvement (the “Non-Government Warranty Period”).  If the Builder delivers written notice to the Developer of breach of the Non-Government Warranty during the Non-Government Warranty Period, then the Developer shall coordinate the corrections with the Builder and cause the Service Provider(s) who performed the applicable work or supplied the applicable materials to complete such corrections or, if such Service Providers fail to make such corrections, otherwise cause such corrections to be made.  Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with a breach of the Non-Government Warranty shall be borne by the Developer (including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to enforce any warranties against Service Providers), except for any breach or damage that was caused by the Builder or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, in which event the Builder Party shall pay all such costs and expenses to the extent caused by the Builder or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents.  Any damage to an Improvement that was not listed on the Builder Punchlist shall be presumed to have been caused by the Builder or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, unless the Builder conclusively proves that the damage was caused as the result of a design or construction defect in the original construction by the Developer.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 4.8.1 OR 4.8.2, THE DEVELOPER PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO BUILDER IN RELATION TO THE IMPROVEMENTS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF HABITABILITY, MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL OF THE SAME AND SHALL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO REPAIR OR CORRECT ANY DEFECT IN IMPROVEMENTS FOR WHICH NO CLAIM IS ASSERTED DURING THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD.  The preceding sentence does not affect, alter or modify any Service Provider’s obligations to repair or correct any defects in Improvements and shall not be construed as a limitation on the Builder’s statutory rights or remedies which may not be modified by contract.
 
4.9.         License for Construction.  Each Party hereby grants to the Developer or the Substitute Constructing Party (as applicable) and the Service Providers a temporary, non-exclusive license to enter upon the Property owned by such Party, including the Builder Lots, as reasonably necessary for the installation of the Improvements, rough grading of the Builder Lots, stubbing of utilities and/or the performance of the Developer’s (or Substitute Constructing Party’s, as applicable) responsibilities under this LDA.  Each Party further agrees to grant such separate written rights of entry and/or licenses in or upon the Property owned by such Party, including the Builder Lots, as may be reasonably necessary for installation of the Improvements, rough grading of the Builder Lots and stubbing of utilities.  No rights of entry and/or licenses over any portion of the Property may be exercised or used by a Party in any fashion that would unreasonably interfere with or adversely impact any other Party’s development of its parcel.  The rights under this Section or any instruments delivered hereunder shall terminate upon the expiration of all Government Warranty Periods.
 
4.10.       Liens.  Developer shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due, all liens and claims for labor and/or materials furnished to the Builder Lots pursuant to this LDA to prevent the filing or recording by any third party of any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other lien, stop notice or bond claim or any attachments, levies or garnishments (collectively “Liens”) involving the Improvements.  Developer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Builder for, from and against all injuries, losses, liens, claims, demands, judgments, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including but not limited to court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) sustained by or made or threatened against Builder, which result from or arise out of or in connection with mechanics' or materialmen's liens, stop notices or bonded stop notices which may be asserted against Builder or such party’s property (including, as applicable, any Builder Lot) as a result of Developer’s actions in connection with the construction of the Improvements.  Developer will, within sixty (60) calendar days after written notice from Builder, or within sixty (60) days after Developer otherwise becomes aware of such Liens, terminate the effect of any Liens by filing or recording an appropriate release or bond if so requested by Builder.  If the Builder requests that Developer file and obtain any such release or bond and the Developer fails to do so within sixty (60) calendar days of such request, the Builder may obtain such bond or secure such release on behalf of Developer and offset all costs and fees related thereto against any amount payable by Builder pursuant to this LDA.  If any mechanic's or materialmen's lien is not removed from each Builder Lot affected thereby prior to the scheduled closing of the retail sale of such Builder Lot, then the notice and cure period above shall not apply and Builder shall have the right to immediately exercise its right to secure such bond or release. If no amounts are payable by Builder under this LDA, then Developer shall reimburse the Builder for all costs and fees related securing such bond or release, within thirty (30) days after receipt of written request therefor and any such cost or amount that is not paid by the Developer to the Builder when due shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the due date thereof until paid in full (together with such interest).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer shall have no obligation with respect to Liens which arise as a result of Builder’s failure to timely pay any sum due under the Contract or this LDA.
 
E-13

4.11.       Tree Lawns/Sidewalks. Notwithstanding anything in this LDA to the contrary, Developer, as Constructing Party, shall have no obligation to construct, install, maintain or pay for the maintenance, construction and installation of any landscaping or irrigation for such landscaping behind the curb on any Builder Lot that is to be maintained by the owner of such lot (collectively, “Tree Lawns”), but Developer shall be responsible for constructing and installing the detached sidewalks and ramps (collectively, “Sidewalks”) that are located immediately adjacent to any Builder Lot or on a tract as required by the approved Plans, County, or any other Approving Authority and/or applicable laws as provided in this LDA.  Builders shall be responsible for installing any other lead walks, pathways, and driveways and any other flatwork on the Builder Lots.  Builder shall install all Tree Lawns on or adjacent to its Builder Lots in accordance with all applicable Plans, requirements, regulations, laws, development codes and building codes of all Approving Authorities and such Tree Lawns shall not be considered part of the Improvements.
 
4.12.      Soil Hauling.  Builder shall be responsible for relocating from the Builder Lots all surplus soil generated during Builder’s construction of structures on the Builder Lots, if any, and for importing any necessary fill required to complete Builder’s construction activities.  At the option of Developer, in its sole discretion, any surplus soil shall be transported at Builder’s expense to a site designated by Developer within the Development; provided, that Developer has designated and made such a site available to Builder at the time Builder is ready to transport surplus soils, if any.  Builder may choose its preferred form of transport for such surplus soils, subject to Developer’s prior written consent to such form of transport, and provided that Builder shall not damage any portion of the Development or interfere with Developer’s activities within the Development.  Developer may modify any such stock pile location from time to time in Developer’s discretion.  At Developer’s request, Builder shall supply copies of any reports or field assessments identifying the material characteristics of the excess soil prior to accepting such soil for fill purposes and if Developer does not accept any surplus soils from Builder, then Builder shall, at its sole expense, find a purchaser or taker or otherwise transport and dispose of any surplus soil upon such terms as it shall desire, but such surplus soil must still be removed from the Property and may not be stockpiled on the Property or within the Development after construction has been completed.  At the option of Developer, in its sole discretion, if Builder needs to import any necessary fill that is required to complete Builder’s construction activities and Developer has fill dirt available on the Property, then Developer may make available to Builder, on terms and conditions determined by Developer,  any such fill dirt for transport at Builder’s expense.

5.           Costs of Improvements.
 
5.1.        Definition of Costs.  As used herein, the term “Costs” shall mean all hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the design (including all engineering expenses), construction and installation of the Improvements, including, but not limited to, costs of labor, materials and suppliers, engineering, design and consultant fees and costs, blue printing services, construction staking, demolition, soil amendments or compaction, any processing, plan check or permit fees for the Improvements, engineering services required to obtain a permit for and complete the Improvements, costs of compliance with all applicable laws, costs of insurance required by this LDA, costs of any financial assurances, any corrections, changes or additions to work required by the Approving Authorities or necessitated by site conditions, municipal, state and county taxes imposed in connection with construction of the Improvements, any warranty work, and any other costs incurred in connection with the performance of the obligations of Developer or the Substitute Constructing Party (as applicable) hereunder to complete the Improvements.
 
5.2.        Deferred Purchase Price; Additional Costs.  As set forth in Section 6, below, Builder shall pay to Developer, the Deferred Purchase Price which is equal to the sum of:
 
(a) $48,300 per 35’ Alley Load Lot,
 
(b) $58,000 per SFD 45’ Lot,
 
(c) plus the applicable Escalator; and
 
(d) the Builder Required Costs, if any, as defined below;
 
(collectively, the “Maximum Builder Costs”).  The term “Builder Required Costs” means those Costs which represent increases in Developer’s costs, as reasonably determined by the Developer to the extent such increases result from (a) changes requested by Builder to the approved Plans, Entitlements, and/or Improvements, (b) Builder’s breach of its obligations under this LDA, and (c) Builder’s actions or inactions under this LDA, the Contract, or otherwise.  Builder shall immediately pay all Builder Required Costs upon receipt of an invoice therefor from the Developer and Developer’s determination of Builder Required Costs shall be binding on the Parties except in the event of manifest error.  Developer shall pay all Costs which exceed the Maximum Builder Costs as set forth above, subject to payment of costs due from other builders. Builder shall not be responsible for any increase in Developer costs which are the result of changes requested by other builders.  In the event Builder disputes any Builder Required Costs and the parties cannot resolve such dispute within 30 days, either party shall have the right to submit such dispute to arbitration in accordance with the provisions in Section 7, below.
 
6.           Payment of Costs.  Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Builder shall pay to Developer, as Seller, part of the Purchase Price in cash at each closing (the “Initial Purchase Price”), and pay in accordance with the terms of this LDA a deferred portion of the Purchase Price (“Deferred Purchase Price”) equal to the Maximum Builder Costs (including Builder Required Costs, if any) which represents Builder’s share of the Costs of the Improvements.  After Builder pays the Initial Purchase Price under the Contract, Builder has no responsibility for payment of any funds in excess of the Maximum Builder Costs.  The Deferred Purchase Price is payable to Developer in installments based upon completion of the Improvements that serve each Phase of the Builder Lots as follows:

E-16

6.6.        Invoice.  After Substantial Completion is achieved as described in Section 4.5 above (including inspections under Section 4.5.2(a)), Builder shall pay the applicable portion of the Deferred Purchase within five (5) business days after an invoice for payment is delivered to Builder by Developer.
 
6.7.        Definition of Wet Utilities. The Wet Utilities that serve each Phase of the Builder Lots that will trigger the Builder’s payment obligation upon Substantial Completion thereof are identified on Exhibit E.
 
6.8.        Security for Payment of Deferred Purchase Price - Letter of Credit.  In order to secure Builder’s obligation following each Closing to pay the Deferred Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of the Contract and the payment obligations set forth above in this Section 6, at each Closing, Builder shall deliver to Title Company, acting as escrow agent, either (i) a letter of credit issued by [insert issuer of LOC], in a form agreeable to Developer (the “Letter of Credit”), or (ii) a cash payment (a Letter of Credit and the cash payment each constitute a “Deferred Purchase Price Deposit”).  The Deferred Purchase Price Deposit shall be an amount that is equal to the sum of the Deferred Purchase Price for all Builder Lots acquired by Builder at such Closing, plus an estimate of the applicable Escalator, as reasonably determined by Developer.  Title Company shall hold and maintain such Deferred Purchase Price Deposit pursuant to this LDA and the Contract in an escrow account established by Title Company for the benefit of Developer and Builder (pursuant to the terms of an escrow agreement to be agreed upon during the Due Diligence Period under the Contract, and entered into by Developer, Builder and Title Company concurrently with the execution of this LDA (the “Escrow Agreement”)).  A Letter of Credit that is posted for a Closing shall remain in place until the final payment of the Deferred Purchase Price applicable to such Closing has been made to the Developer following Substantial Completion of the Finished Lot Improvements which serve the Builder Lots acquired by Builder at such Closing.  If a Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire prior to the Substantial Completion of all such Builder Lots, and Builder has not renewed the Letter of Credit at least fifteen (15) days prior to the expiration date thereof, Title Company is authorized and directed to draw down the full amount of the Letter of Credit and deposit such funds in escrow to be used solely for the payment of any unpaid Deferred Purchase Price.  The Letter of Credit may provide that it may be reduced from time to time to the extent of payments of the Deferred Purchase Price in Good Funds made by Builder for Improvements in accordance with the terms, including the payment schedule, set forth in this LDA.  If the Letter of Credit provides for periodic reduction, then from time to time as Builder pays installments of the Deferred Purchase Price, Developer and Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the issuer of the Letter of Credit a reduction certificate (in the form required and furnished by the issuer) to reduce the Letter of Credit by the amount of the Deferred Purchase Price installment that was paid.  The Letter of Credit for each Closing shall be returned to Builder, together with an executed reduction certificate reducing the face amount thereof to $0.00, upon payment in full of the Deferred Purchase Price in Good Funds for all of the Builder Lots in such Closing.  A cash payment that is deposited as the Deferred Purchase Price Deposit for a Closing will be drawn down and disbursed by the Title Company to Developer from time to time to the extent of payments of the Deferred Purchase Price made by Builder in accordance with the terms, including the payment schedule, set forth in this LDA and Section 5(c) of the Contract.  Failure by Builder to pay any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price that is secured by a Letter of Credit when the same shall become due and payable, provided that at such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the delivery of written notice thereof from Developer to Builder, shall entitle Developer to enforce the collection of the delinquent Deferred Purchase Price by having the Title Company draw upon the Letter of Credit, and the funds so drawn shall be paid to Developer as payment of any unpaid Deferred Purchase Price and such failure to pay shall be deemed cured.  If Developer or Title Company is unable to draw upon the Letter of Credit, or Builder otherwise fails to pay the Deferred Purchase Price, Developer may protect and enforce its rights under this LDA pertaining to payment of the Deferred Purchase Price by (i) such suit, action, or special proceedings as Developer shall deem appropriate, including, without limitation, any proceedings for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this LDA or the Contract or the enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, or for the recovery of actual damages (excluding consequential, punitive damages or similar damages) caused by Builder’s failure to pay the Deferred Purchase Price, including reasonable attorneys' fees, and (ii) enforcing Developer’s lien rights set forth in this LDA.  Developer’s remedies are non-exclusive.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Builder shall have the right, at any time, upon written notice to Developer, to substitute any Letter of Credit with a cash payment of equal amount into escrow with Escrow Agent, subject to the Parties’ reasonable agreement to amend the Escrow Agreement to reflect such change.

7.1.        Disputes Related to Material Changes, Draw Requests and Punchlist Items.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, disputes related to Material Changes, any Builder Punchlist item or matter, objections to Construction Contracts, determination of Substantial Completion (“Expedited Disputes”) shall all be resolved by an independent, impartial third party qualified to resolve such disputes as determined by the Parties involved in the Expedited Dispute (“Informal Arbitrator”).  If such Parties cannot agree on an Informal Arbitrator, then the Parties involved shall select one (1) registered engineer and the Builder shall select one (1) registered engineer and the engineers so selected by such Parties shall promptly select an independent, impartial third party qualified to act as the Informal Arbitrator and resolve the Expedited Dispute.  Within five (5) business days after a Party delivers a Dispute Notice, the Developer and the Builder shall deliver to the Informal Arbitrator a written statement of how such Party believes the Expedited Dispute should be resolved, together with reasonable supporting documentation of such position (“Resolution Notice”).  Within ten (10) business days after receipt of Resolution Notices from both such Parties, the Informal Arbitrator shall approve one (1) of the Parties’ Resolution Notice and shall deliver written notice of such approval to each Party.  The decision of the Informal Arbitrator shall be binding on all Parties with respect to the applicable Expedited Dispute.  All Parties shall timely cooperate with the Informal Arbitrator in rendering his or her decision.  The party that is not the prevailing party in the resolution of any Expedited Dispute shall promptly pay the Informal Arbitrator’s fee, and the prevailing party’s other fees and costs of any such expedited dispute resolution process and reasonable attorney’s fees.  The term “prevailing party” means the party who successfully obtains substantially all of the relief sought by such party or is successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought by the other party.  The Parties acknowledge that there is a benefit to the Parties in having work done as expeditiously as possible and that there is a need for a streamlined method of making decisions described in this Section so that work is not delayed.  A Party and shall not be entitled to recover from any other Party exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential or any other damages other than actual damages (unless the Informal Arbitrator finds intentional abuse or frustration of the arbitration process) in connection with an Expedited Dispute.
 
E-18

7.2.        Standards of Conduct.  The Parties agree that with respect to all aspects of the expedited dispute resolution process contained herein they will conduct themselves in a manner intended to assure the integrity and fairness of that process.  To that end, if an Expedited Dispute is submitted to expedited dispute resolution process, the Parties agree that they will not contact or communicate with the Informal Arbitrator who was appointed with respect to any Expedited Dispute either ex parte or outside of the contacts and communications contemplated by this Article 7, and the Parties further agree that they will cooperate in good faith in the production of evidence in a prompt and efficient manner to permit the review and evaluation thereof by the other Parties.

The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this LDA.

12.         Further Acts.  Each of the Parties hereto shall execute and deliver all such documents and perform all such acts as reasonably necessary, from time to time, to carry out the matters contemplated by this LDA.
 
13.         No Partnership; Third Parties.  It is not intended by this LDA to, and nothing contained in this LDA shall, create any partnership, joint venture or other arrangement among the Parties hereto.  No term or provision of this LDA is intended to, or shall, be for the benefit of any person, firm, organization or corporation not a Party hereto, and no such other person, firm, organization or corporation shall have any right or cause of action hereunder.
 
14.         Entire Agreement; Headings for Convenience Only; Not to be Construed Against Drafter; No Implied Waiver.  This LDA and all other written agreements among the Parties constitute the entire agreement among the Parties hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof.  No change or addition is to be made to this LDA except by written amendment executed by the Parties.  The headings, captions and titles contained in this LDA are intended for convenience of reference only and are of no meaning in the interpretation or effect of this LDA.  This LDA shall not be construed more strictly against one (1) Party than another merely by virtue of the fact that it may have been initially drafted by one (1) of the Parties or its counsel, since all Parties have contributed substantially and materially to the preparation hereof.  No failure by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any term, covenant or provision contained in this LDA, no failure by a Party to exercise any right or remedy under this LDA, and no acceptance of full or partial payment owed to a Party during the continuance of any default by the other Party(ies), shall constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or provision, or a waiver of any such right or remedy, or a waiver of any such default unless such waiver is made in writing by the Party to be bound thereby.  Any waiver of a breach of a term or a condition of this LDA shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a default under this LDA, from having all the force and effect of a default.
 
E-21

15.         Governing Law.  This LDA is entered into in Colorado and shall be construed and interpreted under the law of the State of Colorado without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law which would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of Colorado.

Neither Builder or Developer may assign any of its rights or obligations under this LDA without the prior written consent of the other Party(ies), which consent may be withheld in each Party’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that:
 
17.1.      Builder may assign, without consent, its rights under this LDA in full, but not in part: (i) to a third party which acquires all of Builder’s Builder Lots, or (ii) to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, Builder; provided further, however that Developer approves the form of assignment, which approval shall be in Developer’s reasonable discretion; and
 
17.2.      Developer may assign, without consent, its rights under this LDA: (i) to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, Developer; (ii) to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Developer’s interests in the Builder Lots which Seller reasonably believes has the financial ability and experience to perform Seller’s obligations under this LDA.
 
18.         Counterparts; Copies of Signatures.  This LDA may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.  The signature pages from one (1) or more counterparts may be removed from such counterparts and such signature pages all attached to a single instrument so that the signatures of all Parties may be physically attached to a single document.  This LDA may be executed and delivered by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf) or similar means and delivery of the signature page by such method will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature had been delivered to the other party.  Upon execution of this LDA by Developer and Builder, Developer shall provide a fully executed copy of this LDA to Builder for its records.
 
19.         Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence for performance or satisfaction of all requirements, conditions, or other provisions of this LDA, subject to any specific time extensions set forth herein.

21.         Remedies.
 
21.1.       Except as hereinafter provided with regard to Expedited Disputes and the self-help remedy under Section 4.6, if any Party is in default of any of its obligations under this LDA beyond any applicable notice or cure periods, the other Party(ies) may avail itself to any rights and remedies available at law and equity, but may only recover its actual, out-of-pocket damages (excluding any incidental, consequential, speculative, punitive or lost profits damages) incurred as a result of such default.  For Expedited Disputes, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties is set forth in Section 7 of this LDA, and for Constructing Party Defaults, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties is set forth in Section 4.6 of this LDA.
 
21.2.       In addition to the remedies permitted under Section 21.1, any claim by Developer against Builder for breach of Builder’s obligation hereunder to pay of any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price, together with simple interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date such payment is due and payable, and all costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees awarded to Developer in enforcing any payment in any suit or proceeding under this LDA, shall constitute a lien ("Lien") against the applicable Phase of Builder Lots to which the payment pertains until paid, effective upon the recording of a notice of lien with respect thereto in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County; provided, however, that any such Lien shall be subject and subordinate to (i) liens for taxes and other public charges which by applicable law are expressly made superior, and (ii) all liens recorded in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County prior to the date of recordation of said notice of lien.  All liens recorded subsequent to the recordation of the notice of lien described herein shall be junior and subordinate to the Lien.  The notice of lien will be signed and acknowledged by Developer and will contain the following: (a) a statement of all amounts due and payable; (b) a description sufficient for identification of the applicable Phase of Builder Lots to which the notice relates; (c) the name of the Builder as owner of such Builder Lots; and (d) the name and address of the Developer causing the notice to be recorded.  Developer has the right to enforce the Lien by foreclosing the Lien against the applicable Phase of Builder Lots under the prevailing Colorado law relating to the foreclosure of realty mortgages.  Upon the timely curing by the defaulting Builder of any default for which a notice of lien was recorded, the Developer shall record an appropriate release of such notice of lien and Lien. The sale or transfer of a Builder Lot by Builder does not affect the Lien.

22.         Jury Waiver.  TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND VOLUNTARILY, WITH AND UPON THE ADVICE OF COMPETENT COUNSEL, WAIVE, RELINQUISH AND FOREVER FORGO THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF, OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LDA.

(e)          Additional Lots.  This Agreement does not obligate Rangeview to extend water and wastewater services to additional lots beyond those specified in Section 3.1(a).  Nothing herein shall be deemed or construed to limit Company’s ability to obtain water and wastewater services from Rangeview, consistent with the Rules and Regulations, for additional lots located off the Property and where Rangeview has the right to provide such services.
 
Section 3.2.          Schedule for Payment, Changes in Fees.
 
(a)          Payments.  Company shall pay the total amount due for System Development Charges and Administrative Fees, as described in Section 3.1(d) above, applicable to a specific Lot not later than the time of issuance of a building permit for the construction of a Residential Unit on said Lot.  Payments shall be made by check, to the address specified by Rangeview, or by wire transfer, with routing information as specified by Rangeview.
 
(b)          Changes in Rates, Fees, and Charges.  Changes to the System Development Charges, Administrative Fees, or other rates, fees, charges and assessments by Rangeview will become effective, including for Tap Licenses thereafter purchased by the Company under this Agreement, after the Board of Directors adopts and approves such new fees in a publicly noticed meeting of the Board.
 
Section 3.3.          Allocation of Taps.  Each Tap License purchased by Company shall be allocated to a Lot within the Property as required by the Rules and Regulations.  The SFE allocation for each Lot shall be commensurate with the anticipated demands on the Water and Wastewater Systems as provided in the Rules and Regulations.

(c)          Delay or Omission No Waiver.  No delay or omission of Rangeview or Company to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default, or acquiescence in the Event of Default.
