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 KB HOME COLORADO, INC., a Colorado corporation (“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 172 platted single family attached 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 (subject to the minimums below) 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 172 Lots. The Lots will be a minimum of 32 feet wide by 96 feet deep unless otherwise approved in writing by Purchaser, for the construction of alley loaded paired homes, with each Lot meaning a fee simple lot designed for an alley loaded, paired residential unit located within a building to be constructed and to sit on two (2) fee simple Lots with a common wall on the Lot line (“Paired Lots”).

1

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 6(b) below, the Lots in each Takedown, as generally depicted on the Lotting Diagram and as follows (the following number of Lots being an estimate as of the date hereof and dependent on the Entitlements):
 

At the Takedown 1 Closing (“First Closing”), forty-two (42) Paired Lots;
 
At the Takedown 2 Closing (“Second Closing”), forty-six (46) Paired Lots;
 
At the Takedown 3 Closing (“Third Closing”), forty (40) Paired Lots; and
 
At the Takedown 4 Closing (“Fourth Closing”), forty-four (44) Paired 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:
 
(a)          Purchase Price Payments.  For each Lot the Purchase Price shall be the sum of the “Initial Purchase Price” of Twenty Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($20,000.00) per Paired Lot, paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire transfer or other immediately available and collectible funds (“Good Funds”), and the “Deferred Purchase Price” of Forty-One Thousand Nine Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($41,900.00) per Paired Lot, paid by Purchaser to Seller in Good Funds, for a total of Sixty One Thousand Nine Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($61,900.00) per Paired Lot, (subject to the Escalator adjustment as hereinafter provided in Section 2(b) of this Contract). The Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired by Purchaser at the First Closing shall be secured by Good Funds or 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 Good Funds or 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 Good Funds or 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 Good Funds or a letter of credit delivered by Purchaser into escrow at the Fourth Closing, as more particularly described in Section 5(c) below.
 
2

(b)          Purchase Price Escalator.  Any portion of the Purchase Price due for a Lot which 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 rate equal to four percent (4%) per annum (non-compounding) (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 $61,900 then at the Takedown 2 Closing occurring 9 months (270 actual days) following the date of the Takedown 1 Closing, the Purchase Price for a Lot at the Takedown 2 Closing would be $63,757.00, which is calculated as follows: $61,900 + ($61,900 x 0.04) x (270/365) = $63,757.00.  If the Initial Purchase Price for such Lot to be acquired at the Takedown 1 Closing is $20,000.00, then the Initial Purchase Price for a Lot to be paid at the Takedown 2 Closing (occurring 270 days later) will be $20,600.00 [calculated as follows: $20,000.00 + ($20,000.00 x .04) x (270/365) = $20,600.00]. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein to the contrary, the Escalator shall not accrue or be calculated during extension periods requested by Seller and shall cease to accrue and be calculated against any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price which has not become due and owing twelve (12) months following the applicable Closing Date; provided that such delay is not the result of Purchaser’s acts or omissions.
 
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:
 
(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 $159,702.00 (the “Initial Deposit”). 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 $159,702.00 (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, being $1,857 per Lot based on an estimated 172 Lots.  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.
 
3

(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 Section 5(c) below and the terms of the Lot Development Agreement.
 
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 each Takedown Commitment (as hereinafter defined) provide for the deletion of the other standard printed exceptions from the Title Policy; provided, that, Seller’s only obligations 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, (ii) to obtain and furnish, at Seller’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, (iii) 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 (iv) 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.
 
4

(b)          Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions.  Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to each Closing, in conjunction with Seller’s delivery of the applicable Closing Notice (hereafter defined), Seller shall 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 increase or create new costs to construct Homes, or that materially adversely affect title or use of a Lot 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 or, with Purchaser’s approval, 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) business days after the end of the Seller Cure Period either: (i) to terminate this Contract as to the Lots affected by such New Exception, in which event the prorata portion of the Deposit for such Lots shall be refunded to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract as to such Lots; or (ii) to waive such objection and proceed with the acquisition of the Lots in such 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 as to the applicable Lots in accordance with the foregoing sentences within five (5) business 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, 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 Improvement AuthorityThe 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. D8079588 (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.

(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.
 
(i)         Platting and Entitlements.  As part of the Seller Documents, Seller will provide to Purchaser any existing entitlement documents applicable to the Property (the “Existing 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, along with the Existing Entitlements, the “Entitlements”).  The Entitlements (A) shall substantially comply with the Final Lotting Diagram, and shall provide that Phase B of the Development contains approximately 834 total lots, including the Lots which are of the number, type, and dimension as set forth above in Recital D (after taking into consideration applicable setbacks); (B) shall allow for the construction of a Residence on each Lot; (C) shall not impose new or additional requirements upon Purchaser (except as anticipated pursuant to this Contract) the cost of which is expected to exceed $3,000 per Lot (in the aggregate) or which will materially adversely affect or limit the use of any Lot for the construction of a Residence thereon.  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), or as a result of Force Majeure delays.  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 Force Majeure delays), 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 Force Majeure delays) 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.  The timing for Final Approval of the Entitlements for Takedowns after Takedown 1 is as set forth in Section 6(b)(i) hereof.  During the Entitlement process, Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the process and the anticipated results therefrom and Seller will provide Purchaser with copies of those Entitlement documents as submitted to the County and other reasonable documentation relating to same; provided, however, that failure to provide the same to Purchaser shall not constitute a default hereunder.  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.
 
8

(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. In no event shall Purchaser be obligated to purchase any Lots which are less than the dimensions set forth in Recital D. In no event shall Purchaser be obligated to complete the First Closing if the total number of Lots in the First Closing is less than 38; provided, however, that in the event Seller delivers less than 38 Lots at the First Closing, Purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be to terminate this Contract, after which neither Party shall have any further right or obligation hereunder.
 
(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.
 
(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 from obtaining 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 builder contracts within Phase B (the “Interchange Upgrades”).  Seller will use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy its obligations with respect to the Interchange Upgrades in a timely manner, such that Purchaser is not delayed (as a result of Seller’s actions or inactions) in obtaining from the County, a building permit for any Lot acquired by Purchaser, or upon completion of a Home on such Lot, a certificate of occupancy.  This section shall survive each Closing.

(c)          Finished Lot Improvements/Lot Development Agreement.

(i)       At the First Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into the Lot Development Agreement regarding Seller’s obligations to construct and install the Finished Lot Improvements as described on Exhibit C attached hereto.  A draft of the Lot Development Agreement was provided to Purchaser prior to the Effective Date and the form thereof shall be mutually agreed upon by the parties not more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date hereof and thereafter attached hereto, as Exhibit E, by an amendment signed by both parties,.

(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: (1) one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired 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 such Lots acquired, and (2) the remaining one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for such Lots acquired (subject to the CO Holdback, as set forth below) shall be paid to Seller upon Substantial Completion of the balance of Finished Lot Improvements for such Lots acquired; (B) Seller’s and/or the District’s obligation to post surety as required by the County in connection with the Finished Lot Improvements; (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.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Purchaser shall have the option, by notice given to Seller within five (5) business days after Purchaser receives notice from Seller that Substantial Completion has occurred and the remaining one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for such Lots is due: (1) to defer such payment until all Finished Lot Improvements necessary for the issuance of certificates of occupancy for Residences located on such Lots have been completed, and if such deferral is made Purchaser shall not apply for building permits or commence construction of Residences on such Lots until Purchaser makes such payment (with Purchaser having the right, despite such deferral, to make such payment at any time prior to completion of such Finished Lot Improvements); or (2) if such deferral is not made (or if despite such deferral, Purchaser makes such payment prior to Seller’s completion of such Finished Lot Improvements) to make such payment and holdback a sum equal to $5,000.00 for each of the applicable Lots, which shall not be due and payable until all Finished Lot Improvements which are necessary for the issuance of certificates of occupancy for Residences located on such Lots have been completed.  Any amount withheld in accordance with clause (1) or (2) of the preceding sentence shall hereinafter be referred to as the “CO Holdback” and until Purchaser has paid, in full, the total amount of the CO Holdback, Purchaser shall not apply for any certificates of occupancy with respect to any Residence on any Lot for which payment was withheld.

10

(iii)     After each Closing, 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 purchased and acquired by Purchaser at each Closing, subject to Force Majeure, 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 the applicable 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)5(a)(iii) 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 in its reasonable discretion, issued by a financial institution acceptable to the parties in their reasonable discretion (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 the Escalator thereon calculated pursuant to Section 2(a). 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 (or, at Purchaser’s option, replacement of same with Good Funds).  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 or replaced same with Good Funds 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(c)(ii) 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(c)(ii) of this ContractFailure 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 for Lots acquired by Purchaser at a Closing have been substantially completed in accordance with the applicable CDs, the other applicable Entitlements, and all other applicable requirements of this Contract such that Purchaser will not thereby be precluded from obtaining building permits for such Lots and Seller has provided Purchaser written notice thereof.  From and after Substantial Completion of the Lots acquired at a Closing hereunder, Seller shall complete such remaining improvements as are necessary so that Purchaser will not be precluded from obtaining certificates of occupancy for Homes constructed by Purchaser on such Lots, following Purchaser’s completion thereof.

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”); provided, that once such Initial Purchase Condition has been satisfied, it shall be considered satisfied at each subsequent Closing.
 
12

(ii)      Seller shall have satisfied, or is reasonably certain it will be able to satisfy (and Purchaser reasonably concurs with such determination), 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. If Seller elects to extend any Closing Date and the unsatisfied Seller’s Condition Precedent is not satisfied on or before the last day of the 90-day extension period for any reason other than Seller’s fault or exercise of its discretion, then Seller shall elect within five (5) business days after the end of such extension period to either terminate this Contract or waive the unsatisfied Seller’s Condition(s) Precedent and proceed to the applicable Closing.  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:
 
(i)      Final Approval of the Entitlements for the applicable Takedown by the County and all other applicable Authorities and recordation in the County Records of the Final Plat for the Lots to be acquired at such Takedown and such other Entitlements, as may be required by the County, on or before the applicable Closing Date, as the same may be extended, and delivery from Seller of the Closing Notice.
 
(ii)      Seller shall have satisfied, or reasonably determines it will be able to satisfy (and Purchaser reasonably concurs with such determination), the Interchange Condition, such that Purchaser shall not be prevented from obtaining building permits for such Lots no later than the applicable Substantial Completion Deadline (as set forth in the Lot Development Agreement) 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 necessary Interchange Upgrades.
 
13

(iii)       Seller’s representations and warranties set forth herein shall be materially true and correct as of the applicable Closing.
 
(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.
 
(vi)        There shall have been no material adverse change to the Property.
 
(vii)      If Purchaser delivered its proposed House Plans (hereafter defined) to Seller, receipt of written approval of same from Seller as provided in Section 12(d)(i) of this Contract.
 
(viii)     With respect to the First Closing only, Seller shall have provided to Purchaser written assurance in form reasonable acceptable to Purchaser that, prior to the Takedown 2 Closing Date, Seller is expected to secure all necessary Entitlements and satisfy all conditions precedent to the Second Closing for the purchase by Purchaser of at least 40 Lots.
 
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 thirty (30) 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, but if the failure of any of Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent are the result of Seller’s default hereunder, Purchaser also shall have the rights and remedies of Section 28(b). 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 thirty (30) day extension period, then Purchaser shall, as its sole remedy, elect to waive or terminate under (1) or (3).  Failure to give notice as described above shall be an irrevocable waiver of Purchaser’s right to terminate this Contract as to the affected Takedown pursuant to this Section 6(b).  If Purchaser terminates the Contract pursuant to this paragraph, Seller may negate such termination by giving notice to Purchaser that Seller has elected to extend the applicable Closing Date by ninety (90) days for the purpose of continuing its efforts to satisfy the unfulfilled Purchaser’s Condition(s) Precedent, so long as such notice is given within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice of termination, and Purchaser shall again have a termination right pursuant to this Section if such condition is not satisfied prior to the last day of such extended period.

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 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.
 
19

(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 waived Feasibility Review and elected to continue this Contract and proceed as provided hereunder.
 
(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.
 
(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

Nothing herein shall relieve Seller of the obligation to the County or other applicable Authority to construct such amenities that are ultimately required by the Entitlements, or the obligation to Purchaser to construct the same if required by the Entitlements for Purchaser to be able to secure building permits or certificates of occupancy; provided, however, that such obligation shall not confer upon Purchaser any right to object to Seller’s decision to change or modify the amenities pursuant to in the Entitlements and subject to approval by the applicable Authorities.

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:

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 (which may include borings, drilling, and sampling), 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.

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.

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.

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 or use 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 ownership or construction or materially interfere with ownership or materially delay such construction.
 
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 made by Seller for the Finished Lot Improvements relating to 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 Exhibit G, 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.

31

(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.

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 pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 29-1-203 and – 203.5 to create the Regional Improvements Authority to use revenue generated by the imposition of the Regional Improvements Mill Levy to plan, design, acquire, construct, installation, relocation and/or redevelopment, and 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 intergovernmental agreement creating the Regional Improvements Authority provided that the total mill levy on a Lot does not exceed Maximum Mills Limitation.

In addition, even if not set forth in Exhibit G, 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: (a) system development fees (subject however to Seller’s reimbursement obligation in the next subsection (iii) below); (b) any infrastructure (facility) fee, including, without limitation, any transportation/road fee, which may be imposed either by the County, the District or other Authority; (c) 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, no district, including the District, the PID and the other Sky Ranch Districts, levies a system development fee (“SDF”) against the Property.  If at any time before or after a Closing the board of the District, the PID, or any other Sky Ranch District adopts an SDF that is applicable to a Lot then owned by Purchaser (and Seller’s representatives control such board), Seller shall pay the SDF applicable to such Lots and if Purchaser chooses to pay same Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for such payment.

17.        Homeowner’s 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.

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.  With respect to any particular Governmental Fee actually paid by Purchaser to any Authority, Purchaser shall not be obligated to pay or reimburse Seller or its affiliates for such Governmental Fee.  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.

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 reasonable 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 (except no waiver is made for any such items required by the Entitlements).

Seller also shall not create any covenant or requirement that Seller or a Lot owner not use or market any competing Communications Improvements.

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.  If and to the extent that Seller establishes such 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 Seller, in its sole discretion, if Purchaser needs to import any necessary fill that is required to complete Purchaser’s construction activities and Seller has fill dirt available on the Property, then Seller may make available to Purchaser, on terms and conditions determined by Seller, any such fill dirt for transport at Purchaser’s expense. However, Purchaser is not required to use or import fill made available by Seller, same being at Purchaser’s option.
 
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.

24.          Assignment.
 
(a)          Seller’s Assignment. Seller may assign its rights and obligations under this Contract with respect to the Lots not yet Closed without the consent of Purchaser: (i) to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Seller’s interests in such Lots which Seller reasonably believes has the financial ability and experience to perform Seller’s obligations under this Contract; or (ii) to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control with, Seller.
 
(b)          Purchaser’s AssignmentThe 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 Contract, 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 twelve (12) months, and any action by Purchaser based on a breach of any of such Seller’s Representations must be brought within such twelve (12) 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, and any condemnation award relating to such Lot shall be paid to Purchaser at Closing (if received by Seller prior to Closing) and otherwise shall be assigned to Purchaser at Closing.
 
37

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) business 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:
 
(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, any and all provisions 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 any termination of this Contract, and shall be and remain fully enforceable against Purchaser in accordance with the terms of this Contract and applicable laws.
 
(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, than 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). In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, if the First Closing occurs but the Second Closing for at least 40 Lots does not occur for any reason other than a Purchaser default, Seller shall pay to Purchaser additional liquidated damages of One Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) as an agreed-upon amount for loss to Purchaser of project scope and project economies of scale.
 
38

(c)         Indemnity.  Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Contract, any and all provisions of this Contract pursuant to which a party agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the other party from and against any losses, costs, claims, causes of action or liabilities of any kind or nature, or pursuant to which a party waives any rights or claims that it may have against the other party, shall survive any termination of this Contract, and shall be and remain fully enforceable against a party in accordance with the terms of this Contract and applicable laws.
 
(d)         Award of Costs and Fees.  Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, in the event of any litigation arising out of this Contract related to an action for specific performance brought by either party as permitted in accordance with the terms of this Contract, the court shall award the substantially prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the substantially prevailing party in the litigation or other proceedings.
 
(e)          Post-Closing Defaults.  With respect to post-closing defaults, the parties agree that the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to exercise all remedies available at law or in equity, except that damages shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred (along with reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, pursuant to Section 28(d)). The foregoing does not limit or control the remedies as are to be separately provided in the Lot Development Agreement.
 
29.         General Provisions.  The parties hereto further agree as follows:
 
(a)         Time of the Essence.  Time is of the essence under this Contract.  In computing any period of time under this Contract, the date of the act or event from which the designated period of time begins to run shall not be included.  The last day of the period so computed shall be included unless it is a Saturday, Sunday, or federal legal holiday, in which event the period shall run until the end of the next day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or federal legal holiday.
 
(b)          Governing Law.  This Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Colorado.
 
(c)        Severability.  Should any provisions of this Contract or the application thereof, to any extent, be held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Contract and the application thereof, other than those provisions which shall have been held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby and shall continue in full force and effect and shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted at law or in equity.

(j)          Notices.  All notices, statements, demands, requirements, or other communications and documents (collectively, “Communications”) required or permitted to be given, served, or delivered by or to either party or any intended recipient under this Contract shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) on the date and at the time of delivery if delivered personally to the party to whom notice is given at the address specified below; or (ii) on the date and at the time of delivery or refusal of acceptance of delivery if delivered or attempted to be delivered by an overnight courier service to the party to whom notice is given at the address specified below; or (iii) on the date of delivery or attempted delivery shown on the return receipt if mailed to the party to whom notice is to be given by first-class mail, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid and properly addressed as specified below; or (iv) on the date and at the time shown on the facsimile or electronic mail message if telecopied or sent electronically to the number or address specified below:

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 CONTRACT.

4.           Warranty.

(a)          Government Warranty Period.  The Authorities require warranties (each a “Governmental Warranty”) for periods of time after the final completion (each a “Government Warranty Period”) that is applicable to certain Finished Lots Improvements that are dedicated to or owned, and accepted for maintenance by the Authorities (the “Public Improvements”).  In the event a claim is made under a Governmental Warranty or a defect in the Public Improvements is discovered or becomes 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 and other applicable Entitlements 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 4 OF THIS EXHIBIT C AND ELSEWHERE IN THE CONTRACT OR OTHER CLOSING DOCUMENTS ENTERED BY SELLER AT OR PRIOR TO CLOSING, 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.
