of record in the Company, subject solely to the Permitted Exceptions.

In the event any of the conditions precedent contained in this Agreement have

all such conditions precedent, provided however, if Purchaser elects item (iii),
Purchaser shall thereafter continue to have the right to elect item (i) or (ii)

(a) Any and all representations and warranties made by Seller in this Agreement
are being made by Seller on behalf of itself, in its capacity as the Manager
pursuant to the Operating Agreement, and in its capacity as the manager pursuant
to the Management and Development Agreement.

(b) To Seller’s knowledge, the representations and warranties made by Seller in
this Agreement do not omit to state any material fact necessary to make the
representations and warranties made, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading.

(c) To Seller’s knowledge, all documents which have been delivered, and are to
be delivered, by the Seller pursuant to this Agreement are true, complete and
correct.  Seller is not aware of any facts which it has not disclosed to
Purchaser which could materially and adversely affect the Company, the Property
and/or the Company’s ability to conduct business operations after the Closing
Date.  Seller has provided, and shall provide, Purchaser with full access to all
data, information, documents and other materials to which Purchaser may have
therefore requested access pursuant to this Agreement.

(d) Between the date hereof and Closing, Seller agrees to take no action which
would cause any of the above-listed representations and warranties to become
untrue, and agrees to take all reasonable measures necessary to prevent said
representations and warranties from becoming untrue.  Seller shall promptly
notify Purchaser upon Seller’s obtaining knowledge that any representation or
warranty set forth herein has become inaccurate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4.5           Purchaser’s Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Subject to
the terms of this Agreement, Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants to
Seller that, as of the Effective Date and again as of the Closing Date:

(a) Purchaser is a Delaware corporation existing in good standing, duly
incorporated and authorized to do business under the laws of the State of
Maryland, has the full right, power and authority to enter into and perform its
obligations under this Agreement and has performed all requisite action required
to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement and to consummate the
transactions contemplated thereunder (except as set forth in Section 9.17 below,
which Purchaser shall diligently pursue).  The execution and delivery of this
Agreement by Purchaser constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligations of
and enforceable against Purchaser.  The persons executing this Agreement on
behalf of Purchaser have the authority to enter into this Agreement and to bind
Purchaser in accordance with its terms without obtaining any other consents or
approvals from third parties (except as set forth in Section 9.17 below, which
Purchaser shall diligently pursue).

(b) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Purchaser and the
consummation of transactions contemplated thereunder will not violate any law or
governmental regulation, order, or decree to which Purchaser is subject with
respect to any other agreement or instrument to which Purchaser is a party or by
which it is bound.
 
(c) From and after Closing, Purchaser shall cause the Company to, if permitted
by the County and any other applicable governmental authority, at Purchaser’s
election either (i) assume all obligations under the Bonds pursuant to an
assignment agreement acceptable to the County and the Company, and signed by
Seller (which assignment agreement shall, among other provisions, release Seller
from any personal liability under such Bonds), or (ii) post replacement bonds or
letters of credit with the County in form and substance acceptable the County
and the Company.  In the event the Company posts replacement bond(s) or
letter(s) of credit with the County as set forth in item (ii), it shall have no
obligation to pursue the return of Seller’s bonds or letters of credit; however,
it shall cooperate with Seller, at no cost to Purchaser, in Seller’s efforts to
have its bonds or letters of credit released.
 
(d) In the event Seller has any continuing personal liability under the Bonds
after Closing, then the Company and Purchaser shall jointly and severally
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from any and all loss, costs,
claims or liability arising after Closing resulting from the Company’s failure
to perform any bonded work after Closing in accordance with the terms and
provisions of the Bonds.  The terms and provisions of this Subsection shall
survive Closing until the earlier of the date on which (i) all obligations under
the Bonds have been assumed by the Company pursuant to Section 4.5(c)(i), or
(ii) the Company replaces the Bonds pursuant to Section 4.5(c)(ii).

(e) Purchaser shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from Chevy
Chase Bank at Closing a release, in a form reasonably acceptable to Seller in
all respects, in Seller’s sole discretion, of any guaranty or individual
obligation of Seller under the Chevy Chase Bank Loan Documents (the “Seller Loan
Release”).  It is a condition to Seller’s obligations to proceed to Closing
under this Agreement that the Seller Loan Release be held in escrow at Closing
for the immediate release to Seller after Closing, provided however, Seller
shall have the right to waive this condition in writing in Seller’s sole
discretion.  In the event the Seller Loan Release condition is not satisfied at
Closing and Seller waives this condition, then from and after Closing, Purchaser
shall, and shall cause the Company to, (i) keep and maintain the Chevy Chase
Loan in full force and effect at all times, and shall cause no default
thereunder; and (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Seller from any and
all loss, costs, claims or liability under the Chevy Chase Loan Documents
resulting from (1) the Seller’s conveyance of the Membership Interests pursuant
to this Agreement,  or (2) any breach of the Chevy Chase Loan Documents arising
after Closing hereunder.  Purchaser’s obligations in items (i) and (ii) of this
Subsection shall survive Closing until the earlier of the date on which (i) the
Seller Loan Release is delivered to Seller, or (ii) the Chevy Chase Loan is
satisfied and paid in full.

(f) Purchaser is the sole owner of the balance of the membership interests in
the Company, being the other fifty percent (50%) membership interest in the
Company existing as of the Effective Date of this Agreement, and as of Closing
Date.  Purchaser or Purchaser’s affiliate is acting as the home builder for the
construction and sale of new homes on the Property.  As such, to the extent that
any representation or warranty of the Seller proves to be untrue as a result of
any direct action or inaction of the Purchaser or its affiliates on the
Property, the inaccuracy of such representation and warranty shall not be used
as the basis of the Purchaser’s failure to proceed to Closing under this
Agreement.  Moreover, Purchaser has made its own independent investigation of
the value of the Membership Interest, and deems the Purchase Price under this
Agreement to be a fair and adequate compensation for the purchase of the
Membership Interest, subject to the terms and provisions of this
Agreement.  Purchaser further represents and warrants that it has no knowledge
of any fact or circumstance which would cause any of the Seller’s
representations and warranties hereunder to be untrue or incomplete in any way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(g) Purchaser shall, at no cost to Purchaser, promptly provide to the Seller any
and all tax information or financial information related to the Company
reasonably requested by Seller to prepare and file its 2008 federal and state
tax returns, as they relate to the Membership Interest, and shall cooperate and
provide to the Seller, at no cost to Purchaser, promptly any and all reasonably
requested information in connection therewith.
 
          4.6     Survival.  The representations and warranties made by Seller
and by Purchaser as set forth herein shall, unless otherwise specifically stated
herein to the contrary, survive hereafter and after Closing until the expiration
of the applicable statute of limitations, if any, thereon.

the aggregate amount of such reimbursement exceed Five Thousand Dollars
($5,000.00).

provided however, any and all representations, warranties and obligations of the

make any payments to the Seller or the Company under the Purchase Agreement, and
the Company shall be released from any and all obligations to make any payments
to the Seller under the Purchase Agreement, including but not limited to any
pump station fees, road fees, costs to construct a community center or other
recreational facilities or amenities, water and/or sewer connection fees,
off-site construction fees, or off-site road fees, and any all outstanding
and/or future payments or fees under the Purchase Agreement shall be deemed paid
in full and waived by the Company and Seller, (iv) any and all refunds, rebates
and/or credits in connection with or in anyway related to the payment of any

further rights or claims with respect thereto, and (v) except for any
obligations or liabilities set forth in this Agreement and those which, pursuant
to the Purchase Agreement Termination Agreement, expressly survive termination
of the Purchase Agreement, each party shall be released from any further

Seven Hundred Fifty Dollars ($750.00) per lot (the “Road Fee”), which Road Fee
is more particularly described in Section 2.03.1(c) of the Purchase Agreement,
provided however, notwithstanding the provisions of the Purchase Agreement, the
Road Fee applicable to a lot shall be payable to Seller within thirty (30) days
after the settlement of the conveyance of such lot from either the Company or

notice from Purchaser specifically waiving such condition.  Purchaser shall
diligently and promptly pursue such approval.

material respects (at Purchaser’s expense) with the Purchaser's obligation to
comply with the financial reporting requirements of FIN 46, including providing

values,  development stage, cost estimation, etc.  Purchaser agrees that such
information shall be used only for financial reporting purposes to comply with
FIN 46 and such information shall not be distributed individually to any other
third party nor used for any other purpose. Such obligation shall survive
Closing.
