6. Letter Agreement. Seller has
requested Buyer, at each Closing enter a letter agreement in the form attached hereto as Schedule 2 (“Letter Agreement”) and Buyer agrees to enter same if, with respect to the applicable Closing, Seller has not obtained the County’s initial
acceptance of the public improvements identified under the SIA which are required prior to the County’s issuance of certificates of occupancy (“COs”) for homes located on the Lots being purchased at such Closing. The Parties have agreed to execute a Letter Agreement for Closings 1(a) and 1(b) as of the Effective Date of this Amendment and Buyer agrees to deliver an
original of such Letter Agreement to Seller within three (3) days thereafter. Seller agrees that neither Buyer’s execution of this Amendment nor Buyer’s later execution of a Letter Agreement, shall alter the obligations of Seller under the
Contract with respect to such public improvements, except that the Parties agree that certain of such public improvements will not be completed at the time of Closing (“Uncompleted
Work”), and, as between Seller and Buyer, Seller is responsible for the work referenced in the Letter Agreement. Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer if Seller fails to perform the
Uncompleted Work and the County makes a claim under the Letter Agreement against Buyer, or if, as a result thereof, the County refuses to issue COs for homes on any of the Lots purchased at the applicable Closing; provided, however, that the
indemnity shall not apply to the extent Seller substantially completes the Uncompleted Work so that Buyer is not delayed in obtaining any CO. As security for Seller’s responsibility to satisfy the obligations evidenced by the Letter
Agreement, at each Closing where Buyer executes a Letter Agreement, there shall be retained in escrow from Seller’s proceeds the amount of $7,000 per Lot purchased at such Closing (the “Holdback Funds”). At the Takedown 1(b) Closing, in addition to the Holdback Funds retained with respect to such Takedown 1(b) Lots, there shall be retained in escrow from the Seller’s
proceeds, the Takedown 1(a) Holdback Funds equal to $28,000. The Holdback Funds shall be released to Seller, from time to time on a per Lot basis as the Uncompleted Work is completed as evidenced by initial acceptance by the County of the
Uncompleted Work required to obtain COs for the applicable home for such Lot, pursuant to an escrow agreement, the form of which is attached hereto as Schedule 3 to be executed by the Parties at the applicable Closing (“Escrow Agreement”). Upon substantial
completion evidenced by initial acceptance by the County of the Uncompleted Work which is required to obtain COs for the applicable homes for all the Lots subject to the applicable Letter Agreement and associated Escrow Agreement, the balance
of the Holdback Funds in escrow shall be released to Seller. Should the County make demand on Buyer pursuant to the Letter Agreement to perform or pay for any of the Uncompleted Work under the Letter Agreement, Buyer may step in and complete
such Uncompleted Work and obtain a reimbursement from the Holdback Funds for same, in accordance with the terms of the Escrow Agreement, with recovery from Seller for reasonable costs incurred in excess of the Holdback Funds in the Escrow
Agreement.

RECITALS:
A. Seller and Buyer are parties to that certain Contract for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate effectively dated June 29, 2017, as amended (the “Contract”) for approximately 149 platted single-family detached residential lots in the Sky Ranch master planned residential community (the “Community”) in the County of
Arapahoe, State of Colorado.
B. On the Effective Date hereof, Seller and Buyer closed on Takedown ___, at which Buyer purchased from Seller ___________ (___) Lots.
C. Seller and Buyer are parties to that certain letter agreement of even date herewith with respect to those Lots purchased at Takedown ____ (“Letter Agreement”), by which Buyer, as Homebuyer, has agreed to be bound by the Subdivision Improvement Agreement (“SIA”) with respect to such Takedown.
D. Certain of the public improvements required under the SIA are not complete (the “Uncompleted Work”) and Seller has agreed,
pursuant to the 13th Amendment to the Contract, to escrow from the proceeds received at the Closing funds necessary to complete the Uncompleted Work which shall be disbursed in accordance with the terms and conditions of this
Escrow Agreement.
AGREEMENT:
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Escrow Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the Purchaser and Seller hereby agree as follows:
1. Recitals; Capitalized Terms. The recitals set forth above are true and correct and are incorporated herein in their entirety by this reference. Capitalized
terms not defined in this Escrow Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Contract.
2. Holdback Funds. Seller and Buyer hereby direct Escrow Agent to deposit into a separate and distinct account at a federally chartered bank (“Escrow Account”) from Seller’s Proceeds received at Closing, an amount equal to $_________________, or $7,000 per Lot purchased at Takedown ___ (the “Holdback
Funds”).
10
3. Disbursement Instructions. After all of the Uncompleted Work is substantially complete as evidenced by initial acceptance by the County of the Uncompleted
Work which is required to obtain from the County certificates of occupancy (“COs”) for all the Lots subject to the applicable Letter Agreement and this Escrow Agreement, Seller may
deliver to Title Company and Buyer written instructions directing Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Account to Seller the Holdback Funds remaining in the Escrow Account (a “Draw Request”)
and upon disbursement by Escrow Agent pursuant to this sentence, this Escrow Agreement shall terminate. Provided, however, that if the Uncompleted Work is substantially complete for one or more (but not all) specific Lot(s)
subject to this Escrow Agreement, as evidenced by initial acceptance by the County of such Uncompleted Work required to obtain COs for such Lot(s), Seller may deliver to Title Company and Buyer an individual Draw Request
specific to such Lot(s) and directing Escrow Agent to disburse from the Escrow Account to Seller the sum of $7,000.00 per such Lot(s). Each Draw Request shall include evidence from the County of its initial acceptance of the
applicable Uncompleted Work. Escrow Agent is hereby instructed to, and hereby agrees to, disburse the amount identified in such Draw Request from the Holdback Funds three (3) business days after Escrow Agent’s receipt thereof

Buyer of mutual written instructions related to the disbursement thereof. Upon the final disbursement of the balance of the Holdback Funds remaining in the Escrow Account to Seller this Escrow Agreement shall thereafter
terminate.
4. Buyer’s Step-In Right. If the County makes a demand upon the Buyer to perform or pay for any of the Uncompleted Work, pursuant to the Letter Agreement,
or if Seller fails to complete the Uncompleted Work prior the date needed for Buyer to receive a CO, Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to step in and complete all or any of the Uncompleted Work required by
the Letter Agreement (“Step In Right”). Buyer may exercise its Step In Right only after giving five (5) business days’ written notice to Seller of its intention to do so. Following
Buyer’s exercise of its Step In Right, Buyer shall have the right to obtain reimbursement from the Holdback Funds, pursuant to a Draw Request given in accordance with Section 3, for Buyer’s reasonable costs to complete the
Uncompleted Work, as well as from Seller to the extent the Holdback Funds are not sufficient. Upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of notice from Buyer and Seller of the completion of all Uncompleted Work which is required to obtain
COs for all the Lots subject to the applicable Letter Agreement and this Escrow Agreement and following Buyer’s reimbursement of all its reasonable costs to complete any Uncompleted Work undertaken by Buyer, the balance of the
Holdback Funds remaining in the Escrow Account shall be disbursed to Seller and this Escrow Agreement shall thereafter terminate.
5. Escrow Agent Agreement. Escrow Agent joins in the execution of this Escrow Agreement for the express purposes of (a) acknowledging receipt of the
Holdback Funds placed with Escrow Agent; and (b) agreeing to be bound by the provisions set forth in this Escrow Agreement with respect to the disbursement of the Holdback Funds. Seller and Buyer hereby authorize the delivery
of the Holdback Funds to Escrow Agent and the subsequent disbursements of the Holdback Funds by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms and provisions set forth in this Escrow Agreement.
11
