     4. Purchaser's Investigations and Reviews.
     ------------------------------------------

          4.1 Title Insurance Commitment.
          -------------------------------
          Within ten (10) days after  execution and acceptance of this Agreement
     by Seller,  Seller  shall  deliver or cause to be  delivered to Purchaser a
     title insurance  commitment (the "Title  Commitment",  Exhibit B) issued by
     North American Title Company ("Title Company")  together with copies of all
     recorded  exceptions to title  referred to therein  (collectively  with the
     Title Commitment, the "Title Documents"), showing merchantable title to the
     Property to be vested in Seller and  committing to insure such title to the
     Property in Purchaser or Purchaser's  agreed  assignees or designees by the
     issuance as of the Closing  date  hereunder  of its  standard  form owner's
     policy of title  insurance  in the amount of the Purchase  Price,  deleting
     there from the  pre-printed  Standard  Exceptions and containing  only such
     other exceptions as are not objected to by Purchaser as otherwise  provided
     in this  Agreement.  Purchaser  shall  be  entitled  to  review  the  Title
     Documents  as part of its  investigations  hereunder,  as further set forth
     herein.

          4.2 Title Defects.
          ------------------
          If,  upon  review  of  the  Title  Documents,  Purchaser  asserts  the
     existence  of any  encumbrance,  encroachment,  defect  in or other  matter
     affecting  title  which,  in  Purchaser's  opinion,  renders  title  to the
     Property,  unmarketable or otherwise unacceptable, and which Purchaser does
     not  waive  (any of the  foregoing  shall  be  deemed  a  "Title  Defect"),
     Purchaser will give Seller written  notice of such Title  Defect(s)  within
     ten (10)  business  days  after  Purchaser's  discovery  of each such Title
     Defect and, in any case, on or before the date of Closing. After receipt of
     such  notice,  Seller  shall use such efforts and expend such amount as are
     reasonable  to  remove or cure any such  Title  Defects  prior to  Closing.
     Seller shall have no  obligation,  however,  to cure any Title  Defect.  If
     Seller elects,  in its sole  discretion,  to cure any Title Defect,  Seller
     may, by written  notice to Purchaser  within five (5) days of such election
     but, in any event, prior to the date of Closing, extend the date of Closing
     for a period up to thirty (30) days (the "Title Defect Extension") in order
     to attempt to cure such Title Defect.  If Seller elects to invoke the Title
     Defect  Extension,  Seller shall give written  notice to Purchaser when any
     Title Defect is cured and Closing shall occur on the tenth (10th)  business
     day  following  the  giving of such  notice or such other date to which the
     parties  may agree  which  shall be, in any event,  prior to the end of the
     thirty (30) day time period referenced above for Title Defect extension. If
     Seller  does not or is unable to so remove or cure all such  Title  Defects
     prior to Closing,  Purchaser  may: (i) waive all such uncured Title Defects
     and accept  such title as Seller is able to convey as of  Closing;  or (ii)
     terminate  this  Agreement and all parties shall be relieved of any further
     obligations hereunder.

     Seller shall be entitled to use and rely on the net  proceeds  from Closing
     otherwise  due to the  Seller in order to cure or remove  any Title  Defect
     which may be removed by payment of an ascertainable amount of money and for
     which the title policy will delete or  affirmatively  insure over the Title
     Defect  so cured in  conjunction  with,  and at the time of,  the  Closing.
     Purchaser  agrees  that any Title  Defect  shall be deemed  cured if Seller
     shall cause the Title  Defect to be deleted from the Title  Commitment  and
     the "Title Policy" as defined below, or if Seller obtains affirmative title
     insurance  protection  inuring to the Purchaser with respect  thereto at or
     before the Closing.

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

     Plans,  the Contracts,  Real Estate Listing  Agreements,  the Lot purchaser
     Earnest Money Deposits and related purchase  agreements,  the Subcontractor
     Payables,  and the Unit Construction  Financings,  for its satisfaction and
     approval. If Purchaser is not satisfied with its inspection of the Property
     or its review of any of the above  referenced or other documents or matters
     regarding   the   Property,   and   Purchaser   notifies   Seller   of  its
     dissatisfaction  on or before the Closing Date  hereunder,  then  Purchaser
     shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement.  Upon such termination,  all
     parties  hereto shall be released  from any and all  obligations  hereunder
     except to the extent expressly  provided for otherwise,  and this Agreement
     shall be of no further  force and effect.  For purposes of this  Agreement,
     the  Inspection  Period,  as  that  term  may be  otherwise  used  in  this
     Agreement,  shall  mean and refer to the  period of time from and after the
     mutual execution of this Agreement to and including the Closing Date.

     the Property for the purpose of conducting all  reasonable  investigations,
     inspections  and studies  thereof.  Any entry by or on behalf of  Purchaser
     shall be subject  to such  reasonable  rules,  regulations,  standards  and
     conditions as Seller may impose,  but in a manner so as not to unreasonably
     interfere  with  Purchaser's  rights to inspect  the  Property  and conduct
     reasonable tests thereof.  All  inspections,  tests and studies shall be at
     the sole cost and expense of Purchaser. Purchaser shall not damage, destroy
     or harm the Property,  or unreasonably  impact the vegetation thereon while
     conducting  any  inspection,   test  or  study,   and  Purchaser  shall  be
     responsible for promptly repairing and reasonably restoring the Property to
     its original  condition at Purchaser's sole cost and expense.  In addition,
     Purchaser  acknowledges  that dangerous  conditions may exist on and in the
     vicinity of the Property. Purchaser hereby waives all claims for any injury
     suffered by Purchaser  resulting from  Purchaser's  entry upon the Property
     and not caused by Seller's gross negligence or intentional misconduct.  The
     preceding   acknowledgement  and  waiver  shall  survive  Closing  and  any
     termination of this Agreement.

          4.5 Indemnity.
          --------------
          Purchaser  agrees  to  indemnify  and hold  Seller  harmless  from and
     against  any claim,  demand,  liability,  lien,  cost or  expense  asserted
     against Seller,  the Property arising out of or resulting from the activity
     of  Purchaser's  investigations  thereof,  and to pay Seller all reasonable
     costs and  expenses,  including  reasonable  attorney's  fees,  incurred in
     successfully defending any such matter;  provided, that Purchaser shall not
     be liable to Seller for such claims as may be the result of Seller's  gross
     negligence or intentional misconduct.  Notwithstanding any of the terms and
     provisions  of  this  Agreement  to  the  contrary,   this  indemnification
     obligation of Purchaser  shall survive  Closing and any termination of this
     Agreement.

     Seller's  rights to use the Plans  that are  currently  being used to build
     Units upon the Property. Seller represents that said Plans are complete and
     usable as assigned.  Any and all  additional  work required or necessary to
     amend Plans and/or make any  requested or desired  changes  shall be at the

     insuring  marketable,  insurable  title to the  Lot(s) in the amount of the
     Purchase Price,  deleting the pre-printed Standard Exceptions,  but subject
     to the Permitted Exceptions (the "Title Policy"). Any endorsements,  beyond

     of the  Purchase  Price,  then  either  Seller  or  Purchaser  may elect to
     terminate  this Agreement upon written notice to the other given within ten
     (10) days  after both  parties'  receipt of the  estimate,  whereupon  both
     parties shall be relieved of any further obligations hereunder; however, if
     neither party elects to so terminate  this  Agreement,  then this Agreement
     shall  remain in full  force and effect and the  parties  shall  proceed in
     accordance with Section 13.2 above.

     14. Condemnation.
     -----------------
     If prior to Closing,  Seller learns of any actual or  threatened  taking in
condemnation  or by  eminent  domain (or a sale in lieu  thereof)  of all or any
portion of the  Property,  Seller  will  notify  Purchaser  in writing  promptly
thereof.  Any  actual or  threatened  taking or  condemnation  by any  competent
authority in appropriate  proceedings of all or any part of the Property between
the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date shall,  at  Purchaser's  option,

                                       13

cause a  termination  of this  Agreement.  Such  election to  terminate  must be
exercised by Purchaser by notice to Seller within 15 days following  Purchaser's
receipt of Seller's  notice  pursuant to this Section 14. Upon  delivery of such
termination notice, this Agreement shall be terminated and both parties shall be
relieved of any future obligations hereunder.  If Purchaser does not elect to so
terminate this Agreement, Seller shall be relieved of all obligations under this
Agreement  with  respect  to any  portion  of the  Property  actually  taken  or
condemned,  but  Purchaser  will be entitled to receive all proceeds of any such
taking or  condemnation  or all awards or  settlement  amounts  regarding  same.
Seller  agrees that it will not make any  adjustment  or  settlement of any such
taking or condemnation  proceeding without  Purchaser's written consent and will
take at Closing all action necessary to assign its entire interest in such award
to Purchaser or its designee.

     15. Brokers and Commissions.
     ----------------------------
     Each of the parties  represents  and  warrants to the other that it has not
employed,  retained or  otherwise  utilized any broker  ("Broker")  or finder in
connection  with any of the  transactions  contemplated by this Agreement and no
broker or person is entitled to any  commission  or finder's  fees in connection
with any of these  transactions.  The Parties each agree to  indemnify  and hold
harmless one another against any loss, liability, damage, cost, claim or expense
incurred by reason of any  brokerage  commission  or finder's  fee alleged to be
payable because of any act, omission or statement of the indemnifying Party.

     16. Remedies.
     -------------

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

     terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to Seller,
     whereupon  both  Purchaser  and Seller  shall be  relieved  of any  further
     obligations  or  liabilities   hereunder,   except  those   obligations  or
     liabilities that survive termination  pursuant to the express terms of this
     Agreement;  or (ii)  treat this  Agreement  as in full force and effect and
     obtain specific performance therefore together with any damages to which it
     may be lawfully entitled.

     remedy, terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to
     Purchaser  whereupon  both  Purchaser  and Seller  shall be relieved of any
     further obligations or liabilities  hereunder,  except those obligations or
