A G R E E M E N T
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Amendment and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:
 
1.         Recitals.  The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference.
 
2.         Overex.
 
(a)          Pursuant to Section 10(e) of the Contract, the Finished Lot Improvements required for each Lot do not include any Overex on the Property.  Purchaser is solely responsible to perform the Overex and is granted the right (pursuant to a license agreement to be provided by Seller) to enter the Lots for the purposes of performing the Overex.  Purchaser has obtained Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports for the Property and desires to commence the Overex for the Property.  Purchaser intends that such Overex be performed pursuant to a contract with P.E.I. which is the same contractor that is performing the over lot grading for the Property (“Grading Contractor”) so that the Overex and the over lot grading for the Property can be completed in a coordinated and efficient manner.

(b)          Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to enter into a commercially reasonable construction contract (“Overex Contract”) with the Grading Contractor to complete the Overex on the Property in accordance with the Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports.  In order to facilitate Purchaser’s ability to enter into the Grading Contract with the Grading Contractor, and solely as an accommodation to Purchaser, Seller agrees subject to the terms of this Section 2 to make progress payments (each a “Progress Payment” and collectively the “Progress Payments”) to the Grading Contractor under the terms of the Overex Contract as the same become due and payable for work performed under the Overex Contract through and until the first to occur of the following: (i) the Takedown 1 Closing Date, (ii) the termination of the Contract, or (iii) the total amount paid by Seller as Progress Payments equals $350,000 (the “Payment Cap”).  After the Payment Cap has been met or after the occurrence of the Takedown 1 Closing Date whichever first occurs, except as provided in Section 2(c) below, Purchaser shall be solely responsible for making all Progress Payments to the Grading Contractor that become due and payable on or after such date and Seller shall be relieved of any obligation hereunder to make any further payments for the benefit of Purchaser under the Overex Contract.
 

(c)          At the First Closing, and in addition to that portion of the Purchase Price payable by Purchaser at the First Closing, Purchaser shall as a Seller condition to Closing reimburse Seller in Good Funds for all Progress Payments and any other payments made by Seller pursuant to the Overex Contract, plus simple interest at 6% per annum on each payment from the date paid by Seller until the earlier of: (i) the date that is sixty (60) days after the date of Seller’s first Progress Payment, and (ii) the Takedown 1 Closing Date (collectively, the “Overex Payment”).    If for any reason: (1) Purchaser fails to close the First Closing; or (2) the Contract terminates  before the occurrence of the First Closing, , then (A) Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay the Overex Payment, (B) Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for any amounts that Purchaser owes to the Grading Contractor, pursuant to the Overex Contract, for work performed prior to termination that was not previously paid by Seller pursuant to Section 2(c) hereto (which shall be in addition to any amounts to which Purchaser is entitled under Section 27(b) of the Contract), (C) Seller shall have and may retain the benefit of any Overex work performed on the Property pursuant to the Overex Contract without any further obligations to Purchaser, (D) Purchaser shall have the right to terminate the Overex Contract, and (E) Seller shall indemnify, defend and hold Purchaser harmless from any claims, damages or losses (including reasonable attorney fees) arising out of the Overex from and after the date of Purchaser’s termination of the Overex Contract.  Purchaser shall be entitled to all remedies available at law or in equity to enforce Seller’s obligations set forth above, and this Section 2 of this Amendment shall survive termination of the Contract.

(d)          Seller shall not be a party to the Overex Contract and, except as otherwise set forth in this Amendment, in no event shall Seller have any liability under the Overex Contract.  The Overex Contract will be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached to this Amendment and incorporated herein by this reference and, prior to the First Closing or termination of the Contract, Purchaser shall not agree to any material modifications thereof, or terminate, assign or pledge the Overex Contract without Seller’s prior approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

3.         Effect.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Amendment, nothing in this Amendment nor arising out of Seller’s agreement hereunder to make Progress Payments modifies, amends or terminates (i) any release, waiver or indemnity made or agreed to by Purchaser under the Contract for the benefit of Seller, or (ii) any representation, warranty or disclaimer made by Seller under the Contract and Seller’s agreement to make the Progress Payments shall in no event confer any liability upon Seller with respect to the Overex.
 

4.         Construction.  Each of the parties acknowledges that they, and their respective counsel, substantially participated in the negotiation, drafting and editing of this Amendment. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the provisions of this Amendment shall not be construed or interpreted for or against any Party hereto based on authorship.
 
5.         Authority.  Each Party represents and warrants that is has the power and authority to execute this Amendment and that there are no third party approvals required to execute this amendment or to comply with the terms or provisions contained herein.
 
6.         Headings.  The Section headings used herein shall have absolutely no legal significance and are used solely for convenience of reference.
 
7.         Ratified and Confirmed.  The Contract, except as modified by this Amendment, is hereby ratified and confirmed and shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms and provisions. In the case of any conflict between the terms of this Amendment and the provisions of the Contract, the provisions of this Amendment shall control.
