Improvements to be constructed by the CAB, to be used the CAB and
Rangeview to construct such improvements, and both the CAB (or the
District) and Rangeview shall have duly appropriated such funds by
resolution to be used solely for the construction of that portion
of the Offsite Infrastructure Improvements and Joint Improvements
being constructed by each such entity, and (iii) the Service
Agreements shall have been fully executed by Seller and the CAB and
Seller and Rangeview, respectively, in the forms approved by
Purchaser.

THIS
LOT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT (this “LDA”)
is made as of the ___ day of _________, 20____ (the
“Effective

limited liability company (“Developer”),
and TAYLOR MORRISON OF COLORADO, INC., a Colorado corporation
(“Builder,”).
Developer and Builder are sometimes individually referred to as a
“Party”
and collectively referred to as the “Parties.”


 


RECITALS

 



A.           

Developer owns
certain real property located in Arapahoe County (the
“County”),
Colorado which Developer is developing as part of the Sky Ranch
master planned residential community (“Development”).
The preliminary concept map for Phase A of the Development
(“Concept
Plan”) is depicted on Exhibit A
attached hereto (the “Property”).
The Development is being subdivided in several subdivision filings
and developed in phases. The Builder Lots in each phase are
generally depicted on the Concept Plan.





 



B.           

Concurrently with
the execution of this LDA, pursuant to the terms of a separate
Contract for Purchase and Sale of Real Estate by and between
Developer, as seller, and Builder, as purchaser, as amended (the
“Contract”),
Builder is acquiring from Developer a portion of the Property
consisting of approximately 50 single family residential building
lots, and will be acquiring an additional 111 lots within the
Property (collectively, the “Builder
Lots”) pursuant to the Contract at two separate
closings that will occur subsequent to the execution of this LDA.
The number and location of the Builder Lots to be acquired by
Builder under the terms of the Contract, the number and location of
the Takedown 1 Lots, the Takedown 2 Lots and the Takedown 3 Lots
and the development phasing for the Builder Lots consisting of six
phases are generally depicted on the Concept Plan attached as
Exhibit
A.





 



C.           

Pursuant to the
Contract, Developer has agreed to construct or cause to be
constructed the Improvements, as hereinafter defined. The
“Improvements”
are those public infrastructure improvements described in the
construction plans and specifications that have been approved by
the Approving Authorities relating to the final plat of the
property and the corresponding subdivision improvement agreement as
identified in Exhibit B
attached hereto (“Plans”)
and any additional improvements required by the Construction
Standard (as defined below). To the extent that Developer has not
obtained Final Approval (as defined in the Contract) of any of the
Plans as of the Effective Date, then at such time as any such Plans
have been so approved, and to the extent required, Exhibit B
will be replaced by an updated list of the final approved Plans by
amendment to this Agreement (“Revised Exhibit
B”). The Improvements do not include any Offsite
Infrastructure Improvements that are being funded pursuant to the
Offsite Infrastructure Escrow Agreement, as defined in the
Contract.

THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Developer and Builder
agree as follows:


 

1. Incorporation of Recitals. The
Parties hereby acknowledge and agree to the Recitals set forth
above, which are incorporated herein by this
reference.

 

2. Definitions. Unless otherwise
defined herein, all capitalized terms used in this LDA and not
defined in this LDA shall have the same meaning as set forth in the
Contract.

construct, or cause to be constructed, the Improvements in the
manner set forth hereinafter. Developer shall coordinate,
administer and oversee (a) the preparation and filing of all
applications, filings, submittals, plans and specifications,
budgets, timetables and other documents pertaining to construction
and installation of the Improvements and (b) the construction and
installation of the Improvements. Developer will engage or cause to
be engaged consultants, contractors and subcontractors who will be
responsible for the construction of the Improvements and suppliers
who will be responsible for supplying labor, materials, equipment,
services and other work in connection with the construction of the
Improvements (“Service
Provider(s)”), pursuant to the Construction Contracts
(as hereinafter defined). Developer and Builder acknowledge and
agree that Developer may perform its obligations under this
Agreement to construct, or cause to be constructed, the
Improvements in whole or in part by acting as the project manager
(“PM”)
for the Rangeview Metropolitan District and/or the Sky Ranch
Community Authority Board (collectively the “Districts”)
pursuant to one or more project management service agreements
(“Service
Agreement”) under which Developer will coordinate,
manage and administer the construction of the Improvements for such
Districts. In such event, Developer will cause the engagement of
the Service Providers for and on behalf of the Districts with
respect to Improvements that are constructed by such District, but
Developer shall not be released from it obligation to Builder to
cause the completion of the Improvements, whether or not Developer
acts as aPM for one or both of the Districts.

 

3.2 Comply with Legal Requirements.
Developer will comply with all terms and conditions of applicable
law in performing its obligations under this LDA. Developer will
provide to Builder copies of all notices filed by the Developer
with the County, and all other applicable governmental or
quasi-governmental entities or agencies (the “Approving
Authorities”) related to the Improvements and shall,
within five (5) business days of receipt thereof, provide notice to
Builder (together with copies of all notices received by Developer)
of any notice received by Developer alleging any failure to comply
with any applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, or lawful
orders of public authorities bearing on the construction of the
Improvements.

3.3 Bonds and Assurances.
Developer, as part of the Costs, shall provide to all applicable
Approving Authorities any bonds, assurance agreements, or other
financial assurances required with respect to the construction of
the Improvements. Developer shall, as part of the Costs, provide to
all Approving Authorities all warranties, bonds and other financial
assurances required to obtain permits for, and the preliminary and
final acceptance and approval of, the Improvements. Builder shall
take all commercially reasonable actions and execute all documents
reasonably requested by Developer (at no cost or liability to
Builder) in its efforts to obtain releases of all such warranties,
bonds, and other financial assurances upon final acceptance of the
Improvements by the Approving Authorities.

 

3.4 Taxes, Fees and Permits.
Developer or the Service Providers shall pay all applicable sales,
use, and other similar taxes pertaining to the construction of the
Improvements, and shall secure and pay for all approvals,
easements, assessments, charges, permits and governmental fees,
licenses and inspections necessary for proper construction and
completion of the Improvements, subject to the terms of the
Contract and except as provided otherwise in this LDA. Developer
and the Service Providers shall not defer the payment of any use
taxes pertaining to the Improvements except as may be authorized
under law or agreement with the applicable taxing
authorities.

 

3.5 Dedications. Developer and
Builder shall timely make all conveyances and dedications of the
Improvements as to any Improvements owned by such Party if and as
required by the Approving Authorities, free and clear of all liens
and encumbrances.

 

3.6 Indemnity. Developer shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Builder and its owners,
employees, members, managers, directors, officers, agents,
affiliates, successors and assigns (each a “Builder
Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Builder
Indemnitees”) for, from and against all claims,
demands, liabilities, losses, damages (exclusive of special,
consequential, punitive, consequential and lost profits damages),
costs and expenses, including but not limited to court costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees, arising out of material damage
caused by Developer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct
in the performance of the construction of the Improvements.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer shall not be obligated
under this LDA to indemnify the Builder Indemnitees to the extent
such liabilities result from the negligence or willful misconduct
of any Builder Indemnitee, or for any claims arising out of
geologic, soils, ground water or other physical conditions
affecting the Lots, or underdrains systems installed according to
Plans reviewed and approved by a Builder. Builder shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Developer and its respective owners,
affiliates, employees, members, managers, directors, officers,
agents, successors and assigns (each an “Developer
Indemnitee” and collectively, the “Developer
Indemnitees”) for, from and against all claims,
demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses,
including but not limited to court costs and reasonable
attorneys’ fees, arising out of or relating to (i)
Builder’s or its successor’s development, construction,
use, ownership, management, marketing or sales activities
associated with the Lots and the Property (including, without
limitation, land development, grading, excavation, trenching, and
soils compaction, and construction on the Builder Lots performed by
or on behalf of a Builder); (ii) the soils, subsurface geologic,
groundwater or other physical conditions present on or affecting
the Builder Lots; (iii) any change subsequent to the Effective Date
in the Entitlements to the extent that the change was caused,
requested or made by Builder or the design of any residences
(“Homes”)
constructed on the Builder Lots; or (e) homeowner claims asserting
or relating to any implied warranty of habitability,
merchantability, or fitness for any particular purpose in
connection with Builder’s construction of one or more Homes
on the Builder Lots. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Builder shall
not be obligated under this LDA to indemnify, defend or hold
harmless Developer from claims arising solely out of a
successor’s development, construction, use, ownership,
management, marketing or sales activities associated with the
Builder Lots and the Property if such successor is approved by
Developer and gives Developer a substitute indemnity that is
equivalent to the indemnity provided by the Builder under this
Section 3.6 and
such successor is financially sound as reasonably determined by
Developer. Obligations under this Section shall survive the
termination or expiration of this LDA.

3.7 Insurance. Developer shall
procure and maintain, and shall cause the Service Providers to
procure and maintain, the insurance described in Exhibit C
attached hereto during the construction of the Improvements and any
warranty work performed on the Improvements.

 

3.8 Independent Contractor.
Developer is an independent contractor and neither Developer nor
its employees are entitled to worker’s compensation benefits
or unemployment insurance benefits through Builder as a result of
performing under the LDA. The Developer is responsible for and
obligated to pay all assessable federal and state income tax on
amounts earned or paid under this LDA.

 

4. Construction of
Improvements.

 

4.1 Plans and Specifications. To
the extent that Developer has not obtained Final Approval of all of
the Plans as of the Effective Date, Developer shall (i) diligently
finalize, process and obtain approval of the Plans for the
Improvements from the applicable Approving Authorities to the
extent required by such entities, and (ii) apply to the utility
service provider for the preparation of dry utility plans
(“Utility
Plans”). Upon receipt of the approved Utility Plans
for the dry utilities from the utility service provider, Developer
will furnish a copy of such Utility Plans to the Builder. If after
Final Approval of the Plans is obtained the Developer elects to
amend the Plans in a manner that will result in a Material Change
(defined below), then Developer shall provide written notice of the
Material Change (a “Notice of Material
Change”) to Builder if the Builder Lots are affected
by the change. The Notice of Material Change shall describe the
modification to the Plans requested by Developer. Builder shall
have five (5) business days after receipt of the Notice of Material
Change to provide written notice to the Developer if it objects to
the proposed Material Change (a “Notice of Material
Change Objection”), which shall describe revisions to
the Material Change that would render it acceptable to Builder. If
Builder fails to give a timely Notice of Material Change Objection
to Developer, the Material Change shall be deemed approved by
Builder. If Developer performs any Material Change without first
providing Builder with a Notice of Material Change, or after
Receiving a Notice of Material Change Objection, which objection
has not been resolved in accordance with the following provisions,
then Developer shall assume responsibility for the cost of
correcting any such change, as well as the time impacts for making
such correction. Within five (5) business days after delivery to
Developer of a Notice of Material Change Objection, said Developer
and the Builder shall meet to approve or reject the Material
Change. If Developer and Builder cannot reach an acceptable
resolution regarding the Notice of Material Change Objection, the
dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the arbitration provision set
forth in Section 7 below. For
purposes of this Section 4.1, a “Material
Change” shall consist only of the following changes to
the approved Plans for the Improvements to be installed for the
benefit of the Property which have previously been approved by the
applicable Approving Authorities:

 

4.1.1 Reduction
of the total number of Builder Lots available for the construction
of residences by more than 10% or a reduction in the width of the
building envelope below the minimum dimension required by the
Contract.

4.1.2 Changes
greater than one half (1/2) of one (1) foot to the proposed finish
grade elevation for any of the Builder Lots.

 

4.1.3 Changes
that prevent the construction of a single family dwelling unit on
any Builder Lot.

 

4.2 Construction Standard.
Developer shall cause the applicable Improvements to be constructed
in accordance with the Construction Standard and shall obtain
preliminary and final acceptance thereof by all Approving
Authorities. As used herein, the term “Construction
Standard” means construction and installation of the
Improvements in a good, workmanlike and lien-free manner and in
substantial conformity with the Plans (as may be modified pursuant
to the terms hereof), the applicable requirements of the Approving
Authorities, and the “Finished Lot Standard” set forth
on Exhibit D
attached hereto. The Construction Standard does not include any
so-called “over excavation” or comparable preparation
or mitigation of the soil (hereinafter defined as the
“Overex”)
on the Builder Lots and Builder has sole responsibility with
respect to any Overex that the Builder determines to undertake on
the Builder Lots. The terms and provision of Section 10(e) (Over
Excavation) of the Contract are hereby incorporated herein by this
reference. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate in coordinating
the Builder’s completion of the Overex so that the Overex can
be properly sequenced with Developer’s completion of the
Improvements. In no event
shall Developer be liable to Builder
for any delay, costs or damages incurred with respect to such
Overex, even if caused by any delay in installation of Improvements
sequenced ahead of the Overex, and all timeframes shall be deemed
extended appropriately in the event of any delay in completing such
Overex in accordance with the Construction Schedule (as hereinafter
defined).

 

4.3 Construction Contracts for
Work. Developer and contractors of Developer shall contract
for all of the work and materials comprising the applicable
Improvements. Developer shall have the right to bid, pursue,
negotiate, agree to and execute contracts and agreements with
Service Providers for the work and materials comprising the
Improvements (each a “Construction
Contract” and collectively, the “Construction
Contracts”), based upon forms that Developer deems
necessary or appropriate in its commercially reasonable discretion;
provided, however, that Developer shall deliver written notice to
Builder after it shall enter into any Construction Contract, which
notice shall identify the Service Provider(s). Developer shall use
reasonable good faith efforts to cause each Construction Contract,
in addition to other matters, to (i) allow for the automatic
assignment, without need for further action, of all of
Developer’s rights (including, without limitation, the
warranty and indemnity provisions thereof) to Builder on a
non-exclusive basis in the event of replacement of Developer
pursuant to the terms of this LDA, and identify Builder as an
intended third-party beneficiary of the Construction Contract
(including, without limitation, the warranty and indemnity
provisions thereof), (ii) require the Service Provider to name the
Builder as additional insured on all required insurance maintained
by the Service Provider for a period expiring not sooner than final
acceptance of the Improvements by the applicable Approving
Authority for which such Service Provider furnished materials or
work, (iii) require the Service Providers to provide a
warranty on materials and labor supplied by such Service Provider
for a period coterminous with the warranty period required by the
applicable Approving Authorities for Improvements to be dedicated
to an Approving Authority, but in no event less than one (1) year
for any Improvement, (iv) require the Service Provider to perform
its work in accordance with the Construction Standard, (v) require
the Service Provider to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
Developer from all claims and causes of action arising from the
negligent acts or omissions or intentional misconduct of the
Service Provider or its employees or agents, (vi) permit retainage
in an amount of at least five percent (5%) of the amounts payable
to the Service Provider, until the work to be completed pursuant to
such contract has been substantially completed and, if applicable,
granted initial acceptance by the applicable Approving Authority;
(vii) provide the Developer the right, but not the obligation, to
pay subcontractors and suppliers of the Service Provider directly
or by joint check, and (viii) provide for no limitation on remedies
against the Service Provider for a default except the prohibition
of recovery of punitive damages. Upon receipt of written request
from Builder, Developer shall deliver a copy of each Construction
Contract to Builder.

4.4 Commencement and Completion
Dates. Developer shall cause construction of the
Improvements to be commenced and completed as follows:

 

4.4.1 Commencement;
Construction Schedule; Completion. The Improvements will be
completed in phases consisting of one phase with respect to the
Takedown 1 Lots, one subsequent phase with respect to the Takedown
2 Lots, and one subsequent phase with respect to the Takedown 3
Lots for a total of three phases (each a “Phase”).
Developer shall commence and complete each component of the
Improvements in each Phase in accordance with the construction
schedule set forth on Exhibit E
attached hereto (the “Construction
Schedule”), and cause Substantial Completion of the
Improvements in each Phase to occur on or before the applicable
deadline therefor as set forth in the Construction Schedule (the
“Substantial
Completion Deadline”); provided, however, subject to
Section 4.4.2
below. The Construction Schedule will provide for the first Phase
with respect to the Takedown 1 Lots (“Phase
1”) to achieve Substantial Completion on or before ten
(10) months after the First Closing of the Takedown 1 Lots, with
the second Phase with respect to the Takedown 2 Lots
(“Phase
2”) to achieve Substantial Completion on or before
nineteen (19) months after the First Closing of the Takedown 1
Lots, and with the third Phase with respect to the Takedown 3 Lots
(“Phase
3”) to achieve Substantial Completion on or before
twenty eight (28) months after the First Closing of the Takedown 1
Lots. Developer may cause Improvements to be constructed and
installed as Developer deems necessary, in the Developer’s
commercially reasonable discretion, to coordinate such Improvements
with the development of portions of the Development other than the
Property; or cause Improvements to be constructed and installed in
accordance with scheduling requirements of the County and other
Approving Authorities or in advance of the Substantial Completion
dates set forth above. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary,
the Developer shall have no obligation to install landscaping
during the months of October through April.

 

4.4.2 Force
Majeure. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this LDA,
the completion dates and all interim milestones set forth on the
Construction Schedule, the Substantial Completion Deadline, and the
time for performance of Developer’s other obligations under
the Construction Schedule or this LDA shall be extended by a period
of time equal to any period that such performance or progress in
construction of the Improvements is delayed due to any Dispute, as
defined below, acts or failure to act of any Approving Authority,
strike, riot, act of war, act of terrorism, act of violence,
weather, act of God, or any other act, occurrence or non-occurrence
beyond Developer’s reasonable control (each, an “Uncontrollable
Event”). If Developer claims a delay due to an
Uncontrollable Event, then Developer shall provide written notice
to Builder 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 the duration
of the delay that was caused by the Uncontrollable Event. Developer
will make reasonable efforts to minimize the delay from any such
Uncontrollable Event.

 

4.5 Substantial
Completion.

 

4.5.1 Definition
of Substantial Completion. “Substantial
Completion” of the Improvements (or applicable
component thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred when all of the
following have occurred with respect to the Improvements (or
applicable component thereof):

 


 




 

11








 






 

(a) Developer has
substantially completed or corrected all punchlist items provided
by the Approving Authorities and the Builder affecting the
Improvements (or applicable component thereof) in accordance with
Section
4.5.2 below so that
Builder is not precluded from obtaining from the Approving
Authorities building permits for houses constructed, or to be
constructed, on any Builder Lots solely as a result of such
punchlist items (or applicable component thereof) not being
complete, and Developer has obtained lien releases reasonably
acceptable to Builder from all contractors performing work related
to the Improvements;

 

(b) The Improvements
(or applicable component thereof) have been installed pursuant to
the Construction Standard and shall be substantially complete so
that Builder is not precluded from obtaining from the Approving
Authorities building permits for houses constructed, or to be
constructed, on any Builder Lots solely as a result of such
Improvements (or applicable component thereof) not being
complete;

 

(c) Any Improvements
(or applicable component thereof) that are intended to be dedicated
to or accepted by an Approving Authority shall have been inspected
and preliminarily accepted by the applicable Approving Authority
(subject to the Government Warranty Period (as defined below));
except that those Improvements that
are (x) to be phased, if any, as set forth in the Entitlements and
to the extent the phased Improvements are not required to obtain
building permits for Homes on the Lots in the applicable Phase of
the Builder Lots, or (y) not necessary or required by the Approving
Authority to occur to obtain building permits and certificates of
occupancy for Homes on the Lots (the “Additional
Improvements”) will not
be required to achieve Substantial Completion, but Developer
shall nevertheless be required to
complete construction and obtain acceptance of such Additional
Improvements by the applicable Approving Authority after
Substantial Completion at such time as is required by the
applicable Approving Authorities and so that Builder is not
precluded from obtaining from the Approving Authorities building
permits or certificate of occupancy for houses constructed, or to
be constructed, on any Builder Lots solely as a result of such
Additional Improvements (or applicable component thereof) not being
complete.

 

(d) No mechanics’
or materialmen’s liens shall have then been filed against any
of the Builder Lots with respect to the Improvements and final
unconditional lien waivers have been obtained from the Service
Providers that constructed the Improvements (or applicable portion
thereof), or the Developer has obtained a bond to insure over any
such mechanics’ or materialmen’s liens.

 

(e) With respect to any
Improvements that are required by the Construction Standard or that
are required by the subdivision improvement agreement applicable to
the Builder Lots but which are not addressed as part of the
Construction Standard or the Finished Lot Standard, and any other
Improvements which are not required for the issuance of building
permits but which are required by the Approving Authorities so that
Homes and other improvements constructed by Builder on the Builder
Lots are eligible for the issuance of certificates of occupancy for
homes, the Developer shall complete or cause the completion of such
other Improvements to the extent required by the Approving
Authorities, so as not to delay the issuance of certificates of
occupancy for Homes constructed by Builder on the Builder
Lots.

4.5.2 Inspection.

 

(a) Notice to Builder. Developer
shall notify Builder in writing when Substantial Completion of the
Improvements (or applicable component thereof) on the Builder Lots
has been achieved, except for minor punch-list work which does not
affect the ability to obtain building permits or certificates of
occupancy, as applicable, for Homes on the Lots, and the date(s)
and time(s) the Approving Authorities will inspect such
Improvements (or applicable component thereof). Within ten (10)
days after receipt by Builder of such notice from the Developer,
Developer and Builder shall jointly inspect the Improvements (or
applicable component thereof) on the Builder Lots and produce a
punchlist (“Builder
Punchlist”). The Builder Punchlist may not contain any
items other than incomplete Improvements or components thereof,
deficient or defective construction of the Improvements or
components thereof, or failure to construct the Improvements or
components thereof in accordance with the Construction Standard.
Builder shall not be able to object or provide Builder Punchlist
items for any portion of the Improvements previously inspected by
the Builder, except in the case of construction defects. If the
Parties are unable to agree upon a Builder Punchlist within five
(5) business days after the joint inspection described above, then
any dispute related to such punchlist shall be submitted to the
expedited dispute resolution procedures in accordance with
Section 7 below.
Developer will give Builder notice of the date and time of
inspections of the Improvements by the Approving Authorities and
Builder may attend such inspections. Developer will provide Builder
with copies of any inspection reports or punchlists received from
the Approving Authorities in connection with the inspection of the
Improvements, and Developer shall be responsible to correct
punchlist items from the Approving Authority and items set forth on
the Builder Punchlist. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
including any Builder Punchlist, if an Approving Authority grants
preliminary approval or construction acceptance to any of the
Improvements, or, with respect to grading, if the engineer issues a
certification with respect to the grading, fill and compaction in
accordance with item (g) of Exhibit D,
then it shall conclusively be presumed that such Improvement or
work was completed in accordance with the Construction Standard,
subject to completion of the punchlist items provided by the
Approving Authority. If an item is not identified as incomplete on
the Builder Punchlist or any Approving Authority punchlist, then it
shall conclusively be presumed that such Improvement was completed
in accordance with the Construction Standard, and thereafter the
Builder and not Developer shall be responsible for repairing damage
to such Improvement occurring after completion of the Builder
Punchlist work unless such damage is determined either by agreement
of the parties or pursuant to Section 7 of this LDA to be the
result of a design or construction defect. Disputes regarding
Builder Punchlist items and matters will be resolved pursuant to
the expedited dispute resolution procedures set forth in
Section 7 of this
LDA.

 

(b) Correction of Punchlist Items.
Developer shall cause any punchlist items to be corrected within
the time required by the County or other applicable Approving
Authorities, or such shorter time as may be required pursuant to
the Construction Schedule.

 

(c) Interim Inspections. Upon
reasonable prior notice, each Builder may inspect the construction
of the Improvements on the Builder Lots; provided, however, such
inspection shall be (i) at the sole risk of Builder, (ii) such
inspection shall be non-invasive and shall be performed in a manner
that does not interfere with or result in a delay in the
construction of the Improvements, and (iii) Builder shall indemnify
Developer for any damage resulting from such
inspection.

4.6 Self-Help Remedy.

 

4.6.1 Notice
of Default. If Developer: (a) breaches its obligation under
this LDA to complete or cause the completion of any Improvement in
accordance with the Plans or the Construction Schedule (as extended
by any Uncontrollable Event); (b) otherwise breaches any material
obligation under this LDA; (c) fails to comply with any material
provision of its Construction Contracts with Service Providers
beyond any applicable express notice or cure periods; or (d) files
a petition for relief in bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or admits in writing its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due (each a “Bankruptcy
Event”), then the Builder may deliver written notice
of the breach to Developer (a “Notice of
Default”). Each of the events set forth in Subsections
(a) through (d) inclusive of the preceding sentence shall be herein
referred to as a “Constructing Party
Default.” For any Constructing Party Default other
than a Bankruptcy Event, the Developer shall have thirty (30) days
after Developer’s receipt of the Notice of Default from the
Builder to cure the Constructing Party Default (the
“Cure
Period”); provided, however, if the nature of the
Constructing Party Default is such that it cannot reasonably be
cured within thirty (30) days, the Cure Period shall be deemed
extended for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed an
additional sixty (60) days) so long as Developer commenced in good
faith and with due diligence to cause such Constructing Party
Default to be remedied. If Developer does not cause the cure of the
Constructing Party Default within the Cure Period (as may be
extended pursuant to the preceding sentence, and subject to
Uncontrollable Events), or if a Bankruptcy Event occurs (either, an
“Event of
Default”), then the Builder may elect to appoint
either itself or another qualified third party (which may include
another builder under contract with Developer to purchase lots
within the Development, provided that such builder agrees to, and
accepts, such appointment) (“Substitute
Constructing Party”) to assume and take over the
construction of the Improvements by providing written notice to
Developer of its election (the “Assumption
Notice”). With respect to any Improvements that
Developer is causing to be constructed as PM for a District under a
Service Agreement, the Substitute Constructing Party’s right
to take over the construction of the Improvement shall be the right
to step into the rights of Developer as the PM under the Service
Agreements and assume the role of the PM thereunder, including the
right to submit draw requests to the applicable District for
payment of Service Providers and other construction costs to
complete the Improvements. Substitute
Constructing Party’s assumption of the construction of the
Improvements shall not include the assumption of any liability for
acts or omissions occurring prior to the Assumption Notice, or
payment of any “Constructing Party Cost Overruns” (as
defined below) incurred prior
to the Assumption Notice, which Constructing Party Cost Overruns
shall remain the sole responsibility of the Developer, or receipt
of any cost savings prior to the Assumption Notice; provided,
however, that the Substitute Constructing Party shall be
entitled to an administrative fee in an amount equal to two percent
(2%) of the remaining Costs (as defined below) actually paid, which
administrative fee shall be included in the Constructing Party Cost
Overruns. The Builder’s election to
appoint a Substitute Constructing Party to assume and take over the
construction of the Improvements and to exercise and enforce the
rights and obligations set forth in Section
4.6.2 below shall
thereafter be the Builder’s sole and exclusive remedy, except
that the limitation on Builder’s remedies for a Constructing
Party Default shall not apply to Developer’s indemnity
obligations in this LDA or Developer’s obligations to pay any
Constructing Party Cost Overruns.

4.6.2 Assumption
Right. If Builder delivers an Assumption Notice, or if
Builder, Richmond or another builder exercises the Builder’s
Step-In Option with respect to the Joint Improvements (as such
terms are defined below), then: (i) Developer shall cooperate to
allow the Substitute Constructing Party to take over and complete
the incomplete Improvements, including, as applicable, the
execution and delivery to the Substitute Constructing Party of such
agreements, documents or instruments as may be reasonably necessary
to assign to the Substitute Constructing Party all Construction
Contracts with third parties pertaining to the Improvements, and/or
assignment of applicable Service Agreements so that Substitute
Constructing Party can take over as PM thereunder; (ii) Developer
shall remain responsible for all Constructing Party Cost Overruns
(as hereinafter defined), but Developer shall be relieved of all
further obligations under this LDA with respect to the completion
of the incomplete Improvements subsequent to such assumption;
(iii) Developer shall remain liable for its gross negligence
or willful misconduct, and any indemnification obligations
specified herein incurred prior to the date of such assumption; and
(v) Substitute Constructing Party shall assume and perform all
obligations under all Contracts and Service Agreements pertaining
to the construction of the Improvements which Substitute
Constructing Party will complete to the extent such obligations are
to be performed after the date of delivery of the Assumption
Notice. Upon delivery of an Assumption Notice, Substitute
Constructing Party shall be obligated to complete or cause the
completion of the Improvements and pay the Costs incurred
thereafter by Substitute Constructing Party to complete the
Improvements (subject to Developer’s funding obligation under
the Joint Improvements Memorandum, as hereinafter defined, and
Developer’s obligation to pay any Constructing Party Cost
Overruns, and Substitute Constructing Party’s rights as PM
under a Service Agreement to process payments through the
applicable District). If a Substitute Constructing Party assumes
the obligation to construct the Improvements, the Builder’s
obligation for the payment of costs under Section 6.1 which are due and
payable after the date of the Assumption Notice shall be suspended
until Substantial Completion of the Improvements and thereupon all
Costs incurred and paid by Builder shall be offset against the
unpaid portions of the Deferred Purchase Price. If the amount of
the unpaid portions of the Deferred Purchase Price is insufficient
to offset the Costs incurred and paid by Builder, then Developer
will pay to Builder the amount of the deficiency, together with an
administrative fee equal to 2% of the amount of the deficiency,
within thirty (30) days after Builder presents Developer with an
invoice for such payment, including reasonable supporting
documentation for the Cost incurred by Builder. Invoices not paid
within thirty (30) days after receipt shall bear simple interest at
the rate of 12% per annum until paid. In the event of an Assumption
Notice, the Substitute Constructing Party shall indemnify, defend
and hold harmless the Developer and its members, managers,
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, that accrue after the date of the Assumption
Notice and arise out of the Substitute Constructing Party’s
completion of the Improvements, and this indemnity shall not apply
to any claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs,
expenses, acts or omissions arising or accruing before the date of
the Assumption Notice. The obligations under this Section shall
survive the termination or expiration of this LDA.

4.6.3 Appointment
of Substitute Constructing Party. For purposes of exercising
the self-help remedies set forth in this Section 4.6 with respect to an Event of
Default, Builder may elect to appoint either itself or another
Substitute Constructing Party (which may include another builder
under contract with Developer to purchase lots within the
Development, provided that such builder agrees to, and accepts,
such appointment) who shall then have the right and authority to
act pursuant to the self-help provisions of this Section 4.6 (“Designated
Builder”). If the cure of an Event of Default requires
the construction or completion of Improvements that serve both the
Builder Lots and other lots that are owned by another homebuilder
that is under contract with Developer for the completion of such
Improvements (the “Joint
Improvements”), then Richmond American Homes of
Colorado (“Richmond”)
(to the extent that it has purchased lots in the Development from
Developer) shall, at its election, have the first right and option
(ahead of all other builders within the Development) to step in and
act on behalf of all such builders pursuant to the self-help
provisions of this Section
4.6 with respect to the Joint Improvements
(“Builder’s
Step-In Option”). Richmond may exercise the Builder
Step-In Option by giving notice to Developer and the other builders
within fifteen (15) days following the Event of Default
(“Builder’s
Step-In Deadline”). If Richmond does not exercise
Builder’s Step-in Option prior to the Builder Step-In
Deadline, then the other builders shall have the right to exercise
an option to step-in and select a Substitute Contracting Party to
act on behalf of all such builders pursuant to the self-help
provisions of this Section
4.6 with respect to the Joint Improvements by giving notice
to Developer and the other builders within fifteen (15) days
following the expiration of Builder’s Step-In Deadline. The
Developer, Builder, the other builders(s) affected by any joint
improvements and the Title Company will at Closing execute a
“Joint Improvements
Memorandum” that describes the rights and obligations
of Developer, Builder, such other builder(s) and Title Company and
such document will supplement this Lot Development Agreement
regarding the installation and construction of any Joint
Improvements. The form of the Joint Improvements Memorandum shall
be agreed upon during the Inspection Period under the Contract and
attached to this Lot Development Agreement as Exhibit
H.

 

4.6.4 Service
Agreements. Each Service Agreement will permit the
assignment of the Service Agreement by Developer to Builder in the
event of a Developer’s default hereunder. Developer shall not
amend or terminate a Service Agreement without written approval of
Builder, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Developer shall deliver to Builder copies of any written default
notice sent by Developer to a Service Provider within five (5)
business days after PCY’s transmission thereof to a Service
Provider, and shall deliver to Builder copies of any default notice
received by Developer from a Constructing Entity or District within
five (5) business days after Developer’s receipt
thereof.

 

4.7 Over-Excavation of Lots. The
Parties acknowledge that the Improvements shall not include Overex
of the Lots. Builder, with respect to its Builder Lots shall, at
its sole cost, cause the Overex to be performed, and shall have the
right to enter such Builder 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 Improvements, and provided further that Builder
shall promptly repair any portion of the Builder Lots and adjacent
property that is materially damaged by Builder or its agents,
designees, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in performing
the Overex. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT DEVELOPER IS NOT
PERFORMING ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE BUILDER LOTS AND THAT THE
DEVELOPER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO OR
ARISING OUT OF ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE BUILDER LOTS OR EXPANSIVE
SOILS PRESENT ON THE BUILDER LOTS AND DEVELOPER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS
ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND
EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE BUILDER LOTS. BUILDER SHALL
INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS DEVELOPER 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 BUILDER’S ELECTION NOT TO PERFORM SOILS
MITIGATION, ON OR PERTAINING TO THE BUILDER LOTS. THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS SECTION 4.7 SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR
TERMINATION OF THIS LDA.

4.8 Warranty Periods.

 

4.8.1 Government
Warranty Period. The Approving Authorities may require a
warranty period after the Substantial Completion of the
Improvements (a “Government Warranty
Period”). In the event defects in the Improvements to
which a governmental warranty applies become apparent during the
Government Warranty Period, then Developer shall coordinate the
repairs with the applicable Approving 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 Approving Authorities. Any costs and expenses incurred 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 Developer and shall be
included in the Constructing Party Cost Overruns, except for damage
that was caused by Builder or its contractors, subcontractors,
employees, or agents, in which event Builder shall pay all such
costs and expenses to the extent caused by Builder or its
contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents. Any damage to an
Improvement that was not listed on the Builder Punchlist shall be
presumed to have been caused by Builder or its contractors,
subcontractors, employees, or agents, unless the Builder
conclusively proves that the damage was caused by a third party or
as the result of a design or construction defect in the original
construction by Developer as determined by agreement of the parties
or as determined in a legal proceeding pursuant to the Expedited
Dispute procedure in Section 7, below.

 

4.8.2 Non-Government
Warranty Period. Developer warrants (“Non-Government
Warranty”) to Builder that each Improvement to which a
Governmental Warranty Period does not apply shall have been
constructed in accordance with the Plans for one (1) year from the
date of Substantial Completion of the Improvement (the
“Non-Government
Warranty Period”). If Builder delivers written notice
to Developer of breach of the Non-Government Warranty during the
Non-Government Warranty Period, then Developer shall coordinate the
corrections with the Builder and cause the Service Provider(s) who
performed the applicable work or supplied the applicable materials
to complete such corrections or, if such Service Providers fail to
make such corrections, otherwise cause such corrections to be made.
Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with a breach of the
Non-Government Warranty shall be borne by Developer (including, but
not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to enforce any
warranties against Service Providers), and shall be included in the
Constructing Party Cost Overruns, except for any breach or damage
that was caused by Builder or its contractors, subcontractors,
employees, or agents, in which event the Builder shall pay all such
costs and expenses to the extent caused by Builder or its
contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents. Any damage to an
Improvement that was not listed on the Builder Punchlist shall be
presumed to have been caused by Builder or its contractors,
subcontractors, employees, or agents, unless Builder conclusively
proves that the damage was caused as the result of a design or
construction defect in the original construction by Developer.
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 4.8.1 OR 4.8.2, THE
DEVELOPER PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
TO BUILDER IN RELATION TO THE 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 ANY DEFECT IN IMPROVEMENTS FOR WHICH NO CLAIM IS
ASSERTED DURING THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD. The preceding
sentence does not affect, alter or modify any Service
Provider’s obligations to repair or correct any defects in
Improvements and shall not be construed as a limitation on the
Builder’s statutory rights or remedies which may not be
modified by contract.

 


 




 

17








 






 

4.9 License for Construction.
Each Party hereby grants to
Developer or the Substitute Constructing Party (as applicable) and
the Service Providers a temporary, non-exclusive license to enter
upon the parcel within the Property owned by such Party as
reasonably necessary for the installation of the Improvements,
rough grading of the Builder Lots, stubbing of utilities and/or the
performance of Developer’s (or Substitute Constructing
Party’s, as applicable) responsibilities under this LDA. Each
Party further agrees to grant such separate written rights of entry
and/or licenses in or upon the parcel owned by such Party as may be
reasonably necessary for installation of the Improvements, rough
grading of the Builder Lots and stubbing of utilities. No rights of
entry and/or licenses over any portion of the Property may be
exercised or used by a Party in any fashion that would unreasonably
interfere with or adversely impact any other Party’s
development of its parcel. The rights under this Section or any
instruments delivered hereunder shall terminate upon the expiration
of all Government Warranty Periods.

 

4.10 Liens.
Developer shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due, all liens and
claims for labor and/or materials furnished to the Builder Lots
pursuant to this LDA to prevent the filing or recording by any
third party of any mechanics’, materialmen’s or other
lien, stop notice or bond claim or any attachments, levies or
garnishments (collectively “Liens”)
involving the Improvements. Developer shall indemnify,
defend and hold harmless Builder for, from and against all
injuries, losses, liens, claims, demands, judgments, liabilities,
damages, costs and expenses (including but not limited to court
costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) sustained
by or made or threatened against Builder, which result from or
arise out of or in connection with mechanics’ or
materialmen’s liens, stop notices or bonded stop notices
which may be asserted against Builder or the Builder Lots (or any
of them) as a result of Developer’s actions in connection
with the construction of the Improvements. Developer will, within
sixty (60) calendar days after written notice from Builder or after
Developer otherwise
become aware of such Liens, terminate the effect of any Liens by
filing or recording an appropriate release or bond if so requested
by Builder. If Builder requests that Developer file and obtain any
such release or bond and Developer fails to do so within sixty (60)
calendar days of such request, Builder may obtain such bond or
secure such release on behalf of Developer offset all costs and
fees related thereto against any amount payable by Builder under
this LDA. If any
mechanic’s or materialmen’s lien is not removed from
each Builder Lot affected thereby prior to the scheduled closing of
the retail sale of such Builder Lot, then the notice and cure
period above shall not apply and Builder shall have the right to
immediately exercise its right to secure such bond or
release. If no
further amounts remain payable by Builder under this LDA, Developer
shall reimburse Builder for all costs and fees related thereto
within thirty (30) days after receipt of written request therefor
and any such cost or amount
that is not paid by Developer to Builder when due shall bear
interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum from the due
date thereof until paid in full (together with such
interest).

 

4.11 Tree
Lawns/Sidewalks. Notwithstanding anything in this LDA to the
contrary, Developer shall have no obligation to construct, install,
maintain or pay for the maintenance, construction and installation
of any landscaping or irrigation for such landscaping behind the
curb on any Builder Lot that is to be maintained by the owner of
such lot (collectively, “Tree
Lawns”), but Developer shall be responsible for
constructing and installing the detached sidewalks and ramps
(collectively, “Sidewalks”)
that are located immediately adjacent to any Builder Lot or on a
tract as required by the approved Plans, County, or any other
Approving Authority and/or applicable laws as provided in this LDA.
Builders shall be responsible for installing any other lead walks,
pathways, and driveways and any other flatwork on the Builder Lots.
Builder shall install all Tree Lawns on or adjacent to its Builder
Lots in accordance with all applicable Plans, requirements,
regulations, laws, development codes and building codes of all
Approving Authorities and such Tree Lawns shall not be considered
part of the Improvements.

 


 




 

18








 






 

4.12 Soil
Hauling. Builder shall be responsible for relocating from
the Builder Lots all surplus soil generated during Builder’s
construction of structures on the Builder Lots. The Seller under
the Contract will designate a site within the Development, as
determined by Seller in its sole discretion, to which Builder may
transport such surplus soil. Seller may modify any such stock pile
location from time to time in Seller’s discretion. At
Seller’s request, Builder 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 and
if Seller does not accept any surplus soils from Builder, then
Builder 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.

 

5. Costs of
Improvements.

 

5.1 Definition of Costs. As used
herein, the term “Costs”
shall mean all hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the
design (including all engineering expenses), construction and
installation of the Improvements, including, but not limited to,
costs of labor, materials and suppliers, engineering, design and
consultant fees and costs, blue printing services, construction
staking, demolition, soil amendments or compaction, any processing,
plan check or permit fees for the Improvements, engineering
services required to obtain a permit for and complete the
Improvements, costs of compliance with all applicable laws, costs
of insurance required by this LDA, costs of any financial
assurances, any corrections, changes or additions to work required
by the Approving Authorities or necessitated by site conditions,
municipal, state and county taxes imposed in connection with
construction of the Improvements, any warranty work, and any other
costs incurred in connection with the performance of the
obligations of Developer or the Substitute Constructing Party (as
applicable) hereunder to complete the Improvements.

 

5.2 Budget. Attached hereto as
Exhibit
F is an estimate of the Costs to construct the Improvements
(the “Budget”).
The Costs identified on the Budget are referred to herein as
“Budgeted
Costs.” Builder shall pay or cause to be paid pursuant
to Article 6
below a share of the Budgeted Costs. As consideration for the
Developer’s performance under this LDA and the construction
of the Improvements, Builder shall pay the Deferred Purchase Price
which is equal to (i) a share of the Budgeted Costs in the amount
of Forty Seven Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($47,500.00) per
Builder Lot plus the Escalator (which based on a total of 161
Builder Lots is equal to $7,674,500.00 plus the Escalator), and
(ii) the Builder Cost Overruns, if any, as defined below
(collectively, the “Maximum
Builder Costs”).

 

5.3 Cost Overruns. Notwithstanding
anything in this LDA to the contrary, the Developer shall pay (i)
all costs for changes to the Plans or Improvements required by any
Approving Authority or to correct any error or defect in the Plans
that cause the Costs to exceed the Budgeted Costs, (ii) the costs
of all other changes to the Plans or Improvements requested by the
Developer that cause the Costs to exceed the Budgeted Costs, and
(iii) all other costs and charges that cause the Costs to exceed
the Budged Costs (with the exception of Builder Cost Overruns)
(collectively, the “Constructing Party
Cost Overruns”). The Builder shall immediately pay all
costs of changes to the Plans or Improvements requested by Builder
that causes the Costs to exceed the Budgeted Costs or that occur as
a result of Builder’s breach of its obligations under this
LDA (collectively “Builder Cost
Overruns”) and Builder shall not have any
responsibility for Constructing Party Cost Overruns unless such
Constructing Party Cost Overruns occur as a result of
Builder’s breach of its obligations under this LDA or as a
result of mismanagement or unreasonable Costs incurred by the
Substitute Constructing Party that cause the Costs to exceed the
Budged Costs. Except as provided in this Section 5.3, Builder shall
have no obligation to pay Costs that exceed the Maximum Builder
Costs.

 


 




 

19








 






 

5.4 Accounting. Developer shall
keep good and accurate books and records in sufficient detail to
allow the Costs to be calculated, which books and records shall be
made available for review (upon reasonable prior written notice) by
the Parties. Within thirty (30) days after Substantial Completion
of the Improvements, the Developer shall deliver to Builder a
reasonably detailed final accounting of the Costs.

 

5.5 Progress Reports. Developer
shall, no less frequently than once per month, provide Builder with
a progress report setting forth the amount of Costs expended to
date, a list of Improvements completed, to date, and an estimate by
a project manager of Developer of the status of overall completion
of the Improvements, in such form as Developer deems reasonably
appropriate (“Progress
Report”).

 

6. Payment of Costs.

 

6.1 Payment.

 

6.1.1 Payment.
Pursuant to the terms of the Contract, Builder shall pay to
Developer, as Seller, part of the Purchase Price in cash at each
closing (the “Initial Purchase
Price”), and pay in accordance with the terms of this
LDA a deferred portion of the Purchase Price (“Deferred Purchase
Price”) equal to the Maximum Builder Costs (including
Builder Cost Overruns, if any) which represents Builder’s
share of the Budgeted Costs of the Improvements. After Builder pays
the Initial Purchase Price under the Contract, Builder has
no responsibility for payment of any
funds in excess of the Maximum Builder Costs. The Deferred Purchase Price is payable to
Developer in installments based upon completion of the Improvements
that serve each Phase of the Builder Lots as follows:

 

(a) Takedown 1 Lots – Phase
1. Phase 1 consists of approximately 50 Takedown 1 Lots as
identified on the Concept Plan (the “Phase 1
Lots”). Upon Substantial Completion of the Wet
Utilities that serve the Phase 1 Lots in accordance with
Section 4.5 above,
Builder shall pay the Developer a portion of the Deferred Purchase
Price for Phase 1 in the amount of $23,750.00 multiplied by the
actual number of Phase 1 Lots (as shown on the recorded final plat
creating the Phase 1 Lots), plus the Escalator. Upon Substantial
Completion of the Improvements that serve the Phase 1 Lots in
accordance with Section
4.5 above, Builder shall pay the Developer the balance of
the Deferred Purchase Price in the amount of $23,750.00 multiplied
by the actual number of Phase 1 Lots, plus the
Escalator.

 

(b)  Takedown 2 Lots – Phase
2. Phase 2 consists of approximately 50 Takedown 2 Lots as
identified on the Concept Plan (the “Phase 2
Lots”). Upon Substantial Completion of the Wet
Utilities that serve the Phase 2 Lots in accordance with
Section 4.5 above,
Builder shall pay the Developer a portion of the Deferred Purchase
Price for Phase 2 in the amount of $23,750.00 multiplied by the
actual number of Phase 2 Lots (as shown on the recorded final plat
creating the Phase 2 Lots), plus the Escalator. Upon Substantial
Completion of all of the Improvements that serve the Phase 2 Lots
in accordance with Section
4.5 above, Builder shall pay the Developer the balance of
the Deferred Purchase Price in the amount of $23,750.00 multiplied
by the actual number of Phase 2 Lots, plus the
Escalator.

 


 




 

20








 






 

(c) Takedown 3 Lots – Phase
3. Phase 3 consists of approximately 61 Takedown 3 Lots as
identified on the Concept Plan (the “Phase 3
Lots”). Upon Substantial Completion of the Wet
Utilities that serve the Phase 3 Lots in accordance with
Section 4.5 above,
Builder shall pay the Developer a portion of the Deferred Purchase
Price for Phase 3 in the amount of $23,750.00 multiplied by the
actual number of Phase 3 Lots (as shown on the recorded final plat
creating the Phase 3 Lots), plus the Escalator. Upon Substantial
Completion of all of the Improvements that serve the Phase 3 Lots
in accordance with Section
4.5 above, Builder shall pay the Developer the balance of
the Deferred Purchase Price in the amount of $23,750.00 multiplied
by the actual number of Phase 3 Lots, plus the
Escalator.

 

(d) Escalator. All payments of the
Deferred Purchase Price shall be subject to the Escalator as
provided in Section 2(b) of the Contract.

 

(e) Invoice. After Substantial
Completion is achieved as described in Section 4.5 above (including
inspections under Section 4.5.2(a)), Builder shall pay the
applicable portion of the Deferred Purchase within five (5)
business days after an invoice for payment is delivered to Builder
by Developer.

 

(f) Definition of Wet Utilities.
The Wet Utilities that serve each Phase of the Builder Lots that
will trigger the Builder’s payment obligation upon
Substantial Completion thereof are identified on Exhibit
G.

 

(g) Security for Payment of Deferred
Purchase Price - Letter of Credit. In order to secure
Builder’s obligation following the each Closing to pay the
Deferred Purchase Price in accordance with the terms of the
Contract and the payment obligations set forth above in this
Section 6.1, at
each Closing, Builder shall deliver to Title Company, acting as
escrow agent, a letter of credit issued by _____________________ in
the form attached to the Contract as Exhibit G
(the “Letter of
Credit”) and in an amount equal to the sum of the
Deferred Purchase Price for all of the Lots acquired by Builder at
such Closing, plus the Escalator (with respect to the Takedown 2
Lots and the Takedown 3 Lots). Title Company shall hold and
maintain the Letter of Credit pursuant to this LDA and the Contract
in an escrow account established by Title Company for the benefit
of Developer and Builder (pursuant to the terms of an escrow
agreement to be agreed upon during the Due Diligence Period under
the Contract, and entered into by Developer, Builder and Title
Company concurrently with the execution of this LDA (the
“Escrow
Agreement”)). The Letter of Credit for each Closing
shall remain in place until the final payment of the Deferred
Purchase Price applicable to such Closing has been made to the
Developer following Substantial Completion of the Finished Lot
Improvements which serve the Lots acquired by Builder at such
Closing. If the Letter of Credit is scheduled to expire prior to
the Substantial Completion of all of such Lots, and Builder has not
renewed the Letter of Credit 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 in Good Funds made by
Purchaser for Improvements in accordance with the terms, including
the payment schedule, set forth in this LDA. From time to time as
Builder pays installments of the Deferred Purchase Price, Developer
and Escrow Agent shall execute and deliver to the issuer of the
Letter of Credit a reduction certificate (in the form required by
the issuer) to reduce the Letter of Credit by the amount of the
Deferred Purchase Price installment that was paid. The Letter of
Credit for each Closing shall be returned to Builder, together with
an executed reduction certificate reducing the face amount thereof
to $0.00, upon payment in full of the Deferred Purchaser Price in
Good Funds for all of the Lots in such Closing. Failure by Builder
to pay any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price when the same
shall become due and payable, provided that at such failure
continues for a period of ten days after the delivery of written
notice thereof from Developer to Builder, shall entitle Developer
to enforce the collection of the delinquent Deferred Purchase Price
by having the Title Company draw upon the Letter of Credit, and the
funds so drawn shall be paid to Developer as payment of any unpaid
Deferred Purchase Price and such failure to pay shall be deemed
cured. If Developer or Title Company is unable to draw upon the
Letter of Credit, Developer may protect and enforce its rights
under this LDA pertaining to payment of the Deferred Purchase Price
by (i) such suit, action, or special proceedings as Developer shall
deem appropriate, including, without limitation, any proceedings
for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained
in this LDA or the Contract 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 Builder’s failure to pay the
Deferred Purchase Price, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, and (ii) enforcing Developer’s lien rights set forth in
this LDA. Developer’s remedies are
non-exclusive.

7. Expedited Dispute
Resolution.

 

7.1 Disputes Related to
Material Changes, Draw Requests and Punchlist
Items. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, disputes related to Material Changes, any
Builder Punchlist item or matter, objections to Construction
Contracts, determination of Substantial Completion or the amount of
or responsibility for Constructing Party Cost Overruns or Builder
Cost Overruns (“Expedited
Disputes”) shall all be
resolved by an independent, impartial third party qualified
to resolve such disputes as determined by the Parties involved in
the Expedited Dispute (“Informal
Arbitrator”). If such Parties cannot agree on an
Informal Arbitrator, then the Parties involved shall select one (1)
registered engineer and the Builder shall select one (1) registered
engineer and the engineers so selected by such Parties shall
promptly select an independent, impartial third party qualified to
act as the Informal Arbitrator and resolve the Expedited Dispute.
Within five (5) business days after a Party delivers a Dispute
Notice, the Developer and the Builder shall deliver to the Informal
Arbitrator a written statement of how such Party believes the
Expedited Dispute should be resolved, together with reasonable
supporting documentation of such position (“Resolution
Notice”). Within ten (10) business days after receipt
of Resolution Notices from both such Parties, the Informal
Arbitrator shall approve one (1) of the Parties’ Resolution
Notice and shall deliver written notice of such approval to each
Party. The decision of the Informal Arbitrator shall be binding on
all Parties with respect to the applicable Expedited Dispute. All
Parties shall timely cooperate with the Informal Arbitrator in
rendering his or her decision. The party that is not the prevailing
party in the resolution of any Expedited Dispute shall promptly pay
the Informal Arbitrator’s fee, and the prevailing
party’s other fees and costs of any such expedited dispute
resolution process and reasonable attorney’s fees. The term
“prevailing party” means the party who successfully
obtains substantially all of the relief sought by such party or is
successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought by the
other party. The Parties acknowledge that there is a benefit to the
Parties in having work done as expeditiously as possible and that
there is a need for a streamlined method of making decisions
described in this Section so that work is not delayed. A Party and
shall not be entitled to recover from any other Party exemplary,
punitive, special, indirect, consequential or any other damages
other than actual damages (unless the Informal Arbitrator finds
intentional abuse or frustration of the arbitration process) in
connection with an Expedited Dispute.

 

7.2 Standards of Conduct. The
Parties agree that with respect to all aspects of the expedited
dispute resolution process contained herein they will conduct
themselves in a manner intended to assure the integrity and
fairness of that process. To that end, if an Expedited Dispute is
submitted to expedited dispute resolution process, the Parties
agree that they will not contact or communicate with the Informal
Arbitrator who was appointed with respect to any Expedited Dispute
either ex parte or outside
of the contacts and communications contemplated by this
Article
7, and the Parties
further agree that they will cooperate in good faith in the
production of evidence in a prompt and efficient manner to permit
the review and evaluation thereof by the other
Parties.

 

8. Progress Meetings. From and
after the date of this LDA and until Substantial Completion of the
Improvements, the Parties shall cause their designated
representatives to meet within five (5) business days following a
request from a Party regarding the status of construction of the
Improvements, scheduling and coordination issues, engineering and
design issues, and other similar issues. Any Party may change its
designated representative under this LDA at any time by written
notice to the other parties. The initial designated representative
for each Party for the purpose of this Section shall be the
individual listed on each Party’s respective signature page
attached hereto. All inquiries, requests, instructions,
authorizations, and other communications with respect to the
matters covered by this LDA shall be made to such representatives.
Any Party may without further or independent inquiry, assume and
rely at all times that the representatives of the other parties
designated hereunder have the power and authority to make decisions
on behalf of such other parties, to communicate such decisions to
the other Party and to bind such Party by his acts and deeds,
unless otherwise notified in writing by the Party designating the
representative. Any Party may change its representative under this
LDA at any time by written notice to the other
Parties.

performed on the Builder Lots by Builder and following Substantial
Completion of the Improvements and prior to Builder engaging in any
construction activities upon the Builder Lots, Builder shall obtain

Control Division, a Colorado Construction Stormwater Discharge
Permit issued to Builder with respect to the Builder Lots. No fewer
than five (5) business days prior to the initiation of Overex or
construction activities on any Builder Lot, Builder shall deliver a

Conveyance and Change in Responsibility for the Colorado Discharge
Permit held by Developer or an affiliated entity with respect to

11. Attorneys’ Fees. Except
as provided in Section 7.1, should any action be
brought in connection with this LDA, including, without limitation,
actions based on contract, tort or statute, the prevailing Party in
such action shall be awarded all costs and expenses incurred in
connection with such action, including reasonable attorneys’
fees. The provisions of this Section shall survive the expiration
or termination of this LDA.

 

12. Further Acts. Each of the
Parties hereto shall execute and deliver all such documents and
perform all such acts as reasonably necessary, from time to time,
to carry out the matters contemplated by this LDA.

 


 




 

24








 






 

13. No Partnership; Third Parties.
It is not intended by this LDA to, and nothing contained in this
LDA shall, create any partnership, joint venture or other
arrangement among the Parties hereto. No term or provision of this
LDA is intended to, or shall, be for the benefit of any person,
firm, organization or corporation not a Party hereto, and no such
other person, firm, organization or corporation shall have any
right or cause of action hereunder.

 

14. Entire Agreement; Headings for
Convenience Only; Not to be Construed Against Drafter; No Implied
Waiver. This LDA and all other written agreements among the
Parties constitute the entire agreement among the Parties hereto
pertaining to the subject matter hereof. No change or addition is
to be made to this LDA except by written amendment executed by the
Parties. The headings, captions and
titles contained in this LDA are intended for convenience of
reference only and are of no meaning in the interpretation or
effect of this LDA. This LDA shall not be construed more
strictly against one (1) Party than another merely by virtue of the
fact that it may have been initially drafted by one (1) of the
Parties or its counsel, since all Parties have contributed
substantially and materially to the preparation hereof. No failure
by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any term,
covenant or provision contained in this LDA, no failure by a Party
to exercise any right or remedy under this LDA, and no acceptance
of full or partial payment owed to a Party during the continuance
of any default by the other Party(ies), shall constitute a waiver
of any such term, covenant or provision, or a waiver of any such
right or remedy, or a waiver of any such default unless such waiver
is made in writing by the Party to be bound thereby. Any waiver of
a breach of a term or a condition of this LDA shall not prevent a
subsequent act, which would have originally constituted a default
under this LDA, from having all the force and effect of a
default.

 

15. Governing Law. This LDA is
entered into in Colorado and shall be construed and interpreted
under the law of the State of Colorado without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of law which would result in the
application of any law other than the law of the State of
Colorado.

 

16. Severability. If any provision
of this LDA is declared void or unenforceable, such provision shall
be severed from this LDA and shall not affect the enforceability of
the remaining provisions of this LDA.

 

17. Assignment; Binding Effect.
This LDA shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Neither Builder or Developer may assign any of its rights
or obligations under this LDA without the prior written consent of
the other Party(ies), which consent may be withheld in each
Party’s sole and absolute discretion; provided, however,
that:

 

17.1 Builder
may assign, without consent, its rights under this LDA in full, but
not in part: (i) to a third party which acquires all of
Builder’s Builder Lots, or (ii) to an entity that controls,
is controlled by, or under common control with, Builder; provided
further, however that Developer approves the form of assignment,
which approval shall be in Developer’s reasonable discretion;
and

 

17.2 Developer
may assign, without consent, its rights under this LDA: (i) to an
entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control
with, Developer; (ii) to any entity that acquires all or
substantially all of the Developer’s interests in the Builder
Lots which Seller reasonably believes has the financial ability and
experience to perform Seller’s obligations under this
LDA.

 


 




 

25








 






 

18. Counterparts; Copies of
Signatures. This LDA may be executed in two (2) or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of
which together shall constitute one (1) and the same instrument.
The signature pages from one (1) or more counterparts may be
removed from such counterparts and such signature pages all
attached to a single instrument so that the signatures of all
Parties may be physically attached to a single document.
This LDA may be executed and delivered
by facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format
(.pdf) or similar means and delivery of the signature page by such
method will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original
signature had been delivered to the other party. Upon execution of
this LDA by Developer and Builder, Developer shall provide a fully
executed copy of this LDA to Builder for its
records.

 

19. Time of the Essence. Time is of
the essence for performance or satisfaction of all requirements,
conditions, or other provisions of this LDA, subject to any
specific time extensions set forth herein.

 

20. Computation of Time Periods.
All time periods referred to in this LDA shall include all
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, unless the period of time
specifies business days. If the date to perform any act or give a
notice with respect to this LDA shall fall on a Saturday, Sunday or
national or state holiday, the act or notice may be timely
performed on the next succeeding day which is not a Saturday,
Sunday or a national or state holiday.

 

21. Remedies.

 

21.1 Except
as hereinafter provided with regard to Expedited Disputes and the
self-help remedy under Section 4.6, if any Party is in
default of any of its obligations under this LDA beyond any
applicable notice or cure periods, the other Party(ies) may avail
itself to any rights and remedies available at law and equity, but
may only recover its actual, out-of-pocket damages (excluding any
incidental, consequential, speculative, punitive or lost profits
damages) incurred as a result of such default. For Expedited
Disputes, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties is set forth
in Section 7 of
this LDA, and for Constructing Party Defaults, the sole and
exclusive remedy of the Parties is set forth in Section 4.6 of this
LDA.

 

21.2 In
addition to the remedies permitted under Section 21.1, any claim by
Developer against Builder for breach of Builder’s obligation
hereunder to pay of any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price,
together with simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum from the
date such payment is due and payable, and all costs and expenses
including reasonable attorneys’ fees awarded to Developer in
enforcing any payment in any suit or proceeding under this LDA,
shall constitute a lien (“Lien”)
against the applicable Phase of Builder Lots to which the payment
pertains until paid, effective upon the recording of a notice of
lien with respect thereto in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder
of the County; provided, however, that any such Lien shall be
subject and subordinate to (i) liens for taxes and other public
charges which by applicable law are expressly made superior, and
(ii) all liens recorded in the Office of the Clerk and Recorder of
the County prior to the date of recordation of said notice of lien.
All liens recorded subsequent to the recordation of the notice of
lien described herein shall be junior and subordinate to the Lien.
The notice of lien will be signed and acknowledged by Developer and
will contain the following: (a) a statement of all amounts due and
payable; (b) a description sufficient for identification of the
applicable Phase of Builder Lots to which the notice relates; (c)
the name of the Builder as owner of such Builder Lots; and (d) the
name and address of the Developer causing the notice to be
recorded. Developer has the right to enforce the Lien by
foreclosing the Lien against the applicable Phase of Builder Lots
under the prevailing Colorado law relating to the foreclosure of
realty mortgages. Upon the timely curing by the defaulting Builder
of any default for which a notice of lien was recorded, the
Developer shall record an appropriate release of such notice of
lien and Lien. The sale or transfer of a Builder Lot by Builder
does not affect the Lien.

22. Jury Waiver. 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 LDA.

day of __________, 2017 (the “Effective Date”), by and among PCY
Holding, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company
(“PCY”), Taylor
Morrison of Colorado, Inc., a Colorado corporation
(“Taylor”), and
Richmond American Homes of Colorado, Inc., a Delaware corporation
(“Richmond”).  PCY, Taylor, Richmond and any
purchaser of any Lots within the Project, as defined below, that
executes an Addendum in the form attached as Exhibit E,
and acquires the rights, liabilities and obligations hereunder with
respect to such Lots are each, a “Builder” and collectively, the
“Builders”.
Builders and PCY are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Parties”
and individually as a “Party.”

 



RECITALS

 


A.           Builders
collectively own real property located within the subdivision
commonly known as “Sky Ranch” (“Project”) in Arapahoe County
(“County”), Colorado, as depicted in Exhibit A
attached hereto. Each of the lots within the property as depicted
on Exhibit A
are sometimes referred to herein as a “Lot” and collectively the
“Lots” and all
of the Lots (together with any tracts as depicted on Exhibit A)
are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the
“Property.”
Exhibit
A also identifies the particular Lots that are owned by each
Builder.

 


B.           Prior
to execution hereof, PCY owned all of the Property and subsequently
conveyed portions of the Property to the other Builders. PCY may
convey other portions of the Property owned by PCY to future
Builders as further described herein below and such future Builders
may execute an Addendum (as described herein below).

 


C.           Taylor
and Richmond have each entered into a separate Lot Development
Agreement with PCY (each and any other Lot Development Agreement
executed by PCY and any other Builder, an “LDA” and together the
“LDAs”). In each
LDA PCY is or will be obligated to construct or to cause the
construction of certain infrastructure improvements generally
described in Exhibit B
attached hereto that jointly serve or otherwise benefit the Lots
that are owned by the Builders (the “Joint Improvements”) in addition to
other improvements not covered by this Agreement. The Joint
Improvements are more particularly described in the plans and
specifications therefor that are listed in Exhibit C
attached hereto (the “Plans
and Specifications”). As of the Effective Date, the
Plans and Specifications have been approved by the County and other
governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Joint
Improvements (collectively, the “Governmental
Authorities”).

 


D.           The
budget for the Joint Improvement Costs (as defined below) is
attached hereto as Exhibit D
(the “Budget”).

 


E.           In
order to cause the construction of the Joint Improvements, PCY and
the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (the “CAB”) entered into a Service
Agreement for Project Management Services for Sky Ranch
(“CAB Service
Agreement”) pursuant to which PCY serves as the
Project Manager (“PM”) for the CAB for the
construction of the Joint Improvements and provides the services
required to construct and deliver the Joint Improvements, including
but not limited to: CAB compliance and coordination with legal
counsel and accountants; planning design and approvals; project
administration; contractor agreements; construction management and
administration; and CAB acceptance of the CAB Infrastructure. A
copy of the CAB Service Agreement is attached hereto as a part of
Exhibit
G.

 


 




 

41








 






 


 


F.           The
CAB was organized by the Sky Ranch Colorado Metropolitan District
Nos. 1 and 5 (the “Districts”) pursuant to the laws
of the State of Colorado in order to construct, operate and
maintain certain public facilities and improvements in accordance
with the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board Establishment
Agreement (the “CABEA”) and each of the service
plans for the Districts. The CAB is constructing the Joint
Improvements and, in order to fund the Joint Improvements, PCY has
advanced funds to the CAB in an amount equal to the Budget (the
“Construction
Funds”) which were deposited into a segregated,
construction account owned and maintained by the CAB, and such
funds were appropriated to be used by the CAB to pay for the costs
of designing, permitting and constructing the Joint Improvements.
The Construction Funds are held by the CAB in a construction
account at a nationally or regionally recognized FDIC insured
financial institution (“Construction
Account”).

 


G.           Among
other things, the purpose of this Agreement is to:
(1) establish an orderly plan for the construction of the
Joint Improvements in the event that PCY defaults under one or more
of the LDAs or this Agreement and either Richmond, Taylor or any
other Builder exercises its self-help remedy and becomes the
Substitute Constructing Party under the LDAs, and in such event (2)
establish a mechanism for the funding of the completion of the
Joint Improvements.

 



AGREEMENT

 


NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals, the terms of
which are agreed to by the Parties, and also in consideration of
the mutual agreements, covenants and promises contained in this
Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
sufficiency and validity of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Parties agree as follows:

 


 


ARTICLE

RIGHTS
TO COMPLETE JOINT IMPROVEMENTS


 

1.1 Default.
If PCY commits an Event of Default under one or more of the LDAs or
CAB Service Agreement or otherwise materially defaults in its
obligations to a Builder to construct or cause the construction of
the Joint Improvements and either Richmond, Taylor or another
Builder are entitled to exercise its self-help remedy by invoking
Builder’s Step-In Option and becoming the Substitute
Constructing Party under the applicable LDA, then in such event the
applicable Builder shall immediately provide notice of the Event of
Default to the other Builders and PCY. Richmond shall, at
Richmond’s election, have the first right and option (ahead
of all other builders within the Development) to step in and act on
behalf of all such Builders pursuant to the self-help provisions of
Section 4.6 of all of the LDAs with respect to the Joint
Improvements thereby becoming the Substitute Constructing Party
(“Builder’s Step-In
Option”). Seller represents and warrants that (1)
every Builder Purchase Agreement for unfinished lots provides for
Richmond to have the first right to step-in as described in the
immediately preceding sentence, (2) and except as otherwise stated
in sub-clause (1) of this Section 1.1, each Builder’s Lot
Development Agreement contains substantially similar self-help
provisions, and such provisions will not be modified without the
consent of Richmond which consent may be withheld in
Richmond’s sole discretion if Richmond is then a Builder.
Richmond may exercise the Builder’s Step-In Option by giving
notice to PCY and the other Builders within fifteen (15) days
following notice of the Event of Default (“Builder’s Step-In
Deadline”). If Richmond does not exercise
Builder’s Step-in Option prior to the Builder’s Step-In
Deadline, then the other Builders (other than PCY) shall have the
right to exercise an option to step-in and select a Substitute
Constructing Party to act on behalf of all such Builders pursuant
to the self-help provisions of Section 4.6 of the LDAs with respect
to the Joint Improvements by giving notice to PCY and the other
Builders within fifteen (15) days following the Builder’s
Step-In Deadline. If PCY commits an Event of Default and a
Builder’s Step-in Option is exercised, PCY shall assign to
Substitute Constructing Party the right, title and interest of PCY
in, to the CAB Service Agreement with respect to the Joint
Improvements, but the Substitute Constructing Party shall not
assume any responsibility for or otherwise have any liability for
any such obligations prior to such date or for any of the acts or
omissions of PCY, and the obligation to fund the Construction
Account to pay for the costs of the Joint Improvements, including
cost overruns, shall remain the sole responsibility of PCY even if
the costs exceed the amounts in the Construction Account. PCY and
the Builders shall take all action reasonably required to permit
the Substitute Constructing Party to act as the PM under the CAB
Service Agreement to complete the construction of the Joint
Improvements. In such event, PCY and the Substitute Constructing
Party shall give notice to the CAB that PCY has assigned the CAB
Service Agreement to the Substitute Constructing Party hereunder
and that the Substitute Constructing Party has assumed the position
of PM under the CAB Service Agreement with respect to the
construction of the Joint Improvements. PCY shall take all action
necessary to permit the Substitute Constructing Party to act as the
PM under the CAB Service Agreement with respect to the construction
of the Joint Improvements, including the administration and
processing of Draw Requests (as hereinafter defined) from the
Construction Account for the payment of construction costs of the
Joint Improvements as identified in Draw Requests in accordance
with the terms hereof.

1.2 Responsibilities
of Substitute Constructing Party. If Richmond or another
Builder, as applicable, exercises the Builder’s Step-In
Option, then in addition to the responsibilities expressly set
forth elsewhere in this Agreement, the Substitute Constructing
Party shall replace PCY as the PM for the CAB under the CAB Service
Agreement with respect to administering and coordinating the
construction of any unfinished Joint Improvements in accordance
with the Plans and Specifications and the requirements of the
County and other applicable Governmental Authorities having
jurisdiction over the construction of the Joint Improvements.
Substitute Constructing Party shall perform its obligations
hereunder in accordance with the care and skill ordinarily and
customarily used to perform similar construction at the same time
and in the same locality (“Standard of Care”).


 

1.3 Compensation.
For performing the services described in this Agreement, Substitute
Constructing Party shall be entitled to receive a construction
coordinator’s fee in the amount of five (5%) of the Joint
Improvement Costs which are the subject of Draw Requests (as
defined in the Instructions attached hereto as Exhibit F)
processed by the Substitute Constructing Party, which PCY shall pay
within 30 days after the Substitute Constructing Party’s
delivery of an invoice therefor to PCY.

 

1.4 Role
of Substitute Constructing Party; Liability. In the event
the Substitute Constructing Party takes over as the PM for the
construction of the Joint Improvements as contemplated hereby,
Substitute Constructing Party’s assumption of the obligations of the PM for the
construction of the Improvements is done only as an
accommodation to the Parties and that, except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement, Substitute Constructing Party shall have
no responsibility, liability or obligation with respect to (and the
Parties hereby covenant not to sue Substitute Constructing Party
for, and hereby release the Substitute Constructing Party from, all
liability and claims relating to or arising from) the design,
engineering, construction or completion of the Joint Improvements,
the funds collected and disbursed under this Agreement, any damage,
loss or injury to any of the parties or otherwise related to any
action or inaction of Substitute Constructing Party in connection
with this Agreement, or any defect in the materials or workmanship
pertaining to the Joint Improvements, except for any
“Substitute Constructing Party Covered Liability,” as
hereinafter defined. “Substitute Constructing Party
Covered Liability”
means the following matters for which Substitute Constructing Party
shall be liable to the other Parties in connection with its
performance as Substitute Constructing Party hereunder: (a) 
any damage, loss or injury arising from the negligence, willful
misconduct, bad faith, recklessness or illegal acts of the
Substitute Constructing Party in performing or failing to perform
hereunder, or (b) damage, loss or injury arising from the
fraudulent conduct of Substitute Constructing Party; provided,
however, that any damages to which the other Parties shall be
entitled to recover for any Substitute Constructing Party Covered
Liability shall be limited to out-of-pocket losses, costs, damages
or expenses, and the other Parties shall not be entitled to recover
from the Substitute Constructing Party any punitive or
consequential losses, costs, damages or expenses or lost profits as
a result of, or in connection with, any Substitute Constructing
Party Covered Liability. Substitute Constructing Party makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the Joint Improvements,
and shall have no liability for any defect in the materials or
workmanship pertaining thereto except for Constructing Party
Covered Liability. The parties hereby agree to look solely to the
contractors engaged to construct and complete the Improvements for
any contractual violation, indemnity, warranty or guarantee
relating to the Improvements. Upon completion of the Improvements,
Substitute Constructing Party shall assign to the parties hereto
(to the extent assignable and without any representation or
warranty whatsoever), on a non-exclusive basis, the contractual
rights received from the contractors that construct or complete any
portion of the Joint Improvements, including, without limitation,
all rights related to any indemnities, guaranties and/or warranties
received from such contractors.

ARBITRATION


 

9.1 Arbitration.
Subject to Section 9.2, if any
question, dispute, or controversy remains in connection with this
Agreement on which the Parties cannot agree (a “Dispute”), then such Dispute shall
be resolved by mandatory arbitration in accordance with the
Commercial Arbitration Rules for the Real Estate Industry of the
American Arbitration Association then in effect (unless the parties
mutually agree to other rules) (the “Rules”), in accordance with and
subject to the following provisions:


 

9.2 Dispute
Notice.  If any Party believes that a Dispute exists,
it may notify the other Parties thereof, which notice (a
“Dispute
Notice”) shall identify the Dispute.  Within ten
(10) days after giving or receiving such notice, each Party shall
submit to the others its final and best position  as to
the Dispute (hereinafter referred to as a “Final Position”) which shall
remain the position of such Party throughout the arbitration
process.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties may make
offers in settlement at any time, but no such proposal shall be
considered by the Arbitrator.  As promptly as practicable, and
in any event within fourteen (14) days following the delivery of
the Dispute Notice, the Parties shall meet in an attempt to resolve
the Dispute.  If the Dispute cannot be resolved at that
meeting, any Party may submit the Dispute to arbitration as
hereinafter provided.


 

9.3 Appointment
of Arbitrator. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the
parties and subject to Section 9.8 below, a
single arbitrator from the Judicial Arbiter Group shall be selected
according to the Rules; provided, however, that the individual
selected must be recognized in the Denver metropolitan area as
having competence in the subject matter of the Dispute.  The
term “Arbitrator” as used herein shall
mean and refer to the single arbitrator selected pursuant to this
Section.


 

9.4 Conduct
of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted in the
Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. The arbitration process shall
generally be conducted by the designated Arbitrator in accordance
with the Rules, but the Arbitrator shall have discretion to vary
from those Rules in light of the nature or circumstances of any
particular Dispute. In all events, unless waived by the Parties,
the Arbitrator will conduct an arbitration hearing at which the
Parties and their counsel shall be present and have the opportunity
to present evidence and examine the evidence presented by the other
Party.  The proceedings at the arbitration hearing shall,
unless waived by the Parties, be conducted under oath. Any Party
may elect to pay for a court reporter at its sole expense. 
The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to permit a conclusion of
the arbitration hearing within thirty (30) days following the
appointment of the Arbitrator and shall endeavor to submit a joint
statement setting forth each Dispute to be submitted to
arbitration, including a summary of each Party’s Final
Position on each Dispute. The Arbitrator shall make a determination
as to each Dispute in favor of the Final Position (as submitted
within the first ten (10) days following the delivery of a Dispute
Notice) determined by the Arbitrator to be the most reasonable of
all the Final Positions submitted by the Parties in accordance with
this Agreement, which Final Position shall be selected by the
Arbitrator.  In addition, the Arbitrator shall require the
unsuccessful Party(ies) to pay all reasonable costs and fees,
including attorney’s fees, of the prevailing Party(ies) and
costs and fees of the Arbitrator. The award of the costs and fees
of the prevailing Parties shall be allocated among the prevailing
Parties based upon the relative costs and fees incurred by the
prevailing Parties with respect to the matter
arbitrated.


 




 

51








 






 

9.5 Standards
of Conduct. The Parties agree that with respect to all
aspects of the arbitration process contained herein they will
conduct themselves in a manner intended to assure the integrity and
fairness of that process.  To that end, if a Dispute is
submitted to arbitration, the Parties agree that they will not
contact or communicate with the Arbitrator with respect to any
Dispute either ex parte or outside of the contacts and
communications contemplated by this Article, and the Parties
further agree that they will cooperate in good faith in the
production of documentary and testimonial evidence in a prompt and
efficient manner to permit the review and evaluation thereof by the
other Parties.


 

9.6 Decision.
The decision of the Arbitrator with respect to any Dispute shall be
final and binding on all Parties and not subject to appeal, in the
absence of fraud or to the extent permitted by law, and the
prevailing Party(ies) may enforce the same by application for entry
of judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction or by other
procedures established by law.


 

9.7 Time
of the Essence. The Parties agree that time is of the
essence with respect to the resolution of any Dispute arising
hereunder.


 

9.8 Disputes
Related to Certain Matters.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions of this Article or any other provisions
contained in this Agreement, Disputes related to (i) the Joint
Improvement Costs, (ii) Draw Requests, Objection Notices or Punch
List Items under the Instructions that the Parties are unable to
resolve, (iii) the Approved Plans and Specifications, Plan Changes,
the percentage of completion of a Joint Improvement, or (iv)
whether a Joint Improvement has been constructed in accordance with
the Plans and Specifications,  shall be resolved by CVL
Engineers – Melinda Lundquist or if such party is not
available or unwilling to serve as arbitrator, another reputable
third party licensed engineer reasonably agreed upon by the Parties
to the Dispute.  A hearing will be held by such Arbitrator
within ten (10) days after receipt of notice of Dispute, at which
the Parties shall be present and to which any Parties may bring
counsel.  The Arbitrator may modify the Rules as the
Arbitrator deems reasonable or necessary.  The Arbitrator
shall permit the Parties to provide a statement and evidence as to
their position.  The Arbitrator shall inspect the work in
question and shall make a decision as promptly as possible. 
The Parties acknowledge that there is a benefit to the Parties in
having work done as expeditiously as possible and that there is a
need for a streamlined method of making decisions described in this
Section so that work is not delayed. The fees of the Project
Engineer or other arbitrator hearing a Dispute pursuant to this
Section shall be paid pro-rata by each Party to the Dispute, and
each party to a Dispute subject to resolution pursuant to this
Section shall bear its own attorneys’ fees and
costs.

Disburser
Instructions


 



1.            

Draw Requests from the
Construction Account.
Substitute Constructing Party shall process and administer Draw
Requests for the payment of construction costs in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and these
Instructions.






 

(a) On a periodic
basis, Substitute Constructing Party shall submit to the Builders a
copy of the request to be submitted to the CAB for payment of
Construction Funds from the Construction Account to pay Joint
Improvement Costs (each a “Draw Request”). Each Draw
Request shall state the amount of the requested draw, and shall be
certified to be true and correct by Substitute Constructing Party
and accompanied by: (A) a description of the basis for
disbursement (i.e., an application for progress payments based on
the status of completion of the applicable Joint Improvements, or
that substantial completion or final acceptance, as applicable, has
been obtained); (B) Substitute Constructing Party’s estimate
of the percentage of completion of the Joint Improvements; (C)
Substitute Constructing Party’s estimate of the cost to
complete the Joint Improvements; and (D) conditional lien waivers
(conditioned only upon payment of the amount due) from all
contractors covered thereunder for the amounts to be paid pursuant
to the Draw Request, and to the extent not previously provided
unconditional lien waivers from contractors paid from prior Draw
Requests. All invoices that are the subject of a Draw Request must
be verified by the CAB’s cost verification engineer as either
eligible or non-eligible costs of the CAB.


 

(b)   If a
Builder objects to all or any portion of the Draw Request, such
Builder shall deliver written notice of such objection (a
“Objection Notice”) to Substitute Constructing Party
and the other Builders on or before the fifth (5th) business day
after Substitute Constructing Party delivers the Draw Request to
the Builders. A Builder may only object to a Draw Request in the
event that (i) the documents or statements required by Section (a)
above in conjunction with a Draw Request were not properly
delivered, are incomplete or contain material errors, (ii) the
remaining cost to complete the Joint Improvements after payment of
the Draw Request will exceed the amount of the Construction Funds
in the Construction Account which objection will be deemed cured
upon the deposit by PCY of additional Construction Funds into the
Construction Account to cover the excess amount, or (iii) the work
is not work that is to be completed pursuant to this Agreement. If
a Builder delivers an Objection Notice, the Builders and Substitute
Constructing Party shall meet within three (3) business days after
receipt of the Objection Notice to review and discuss any such
Objection Notice. If the Parties are unable to resolve any
Objection Notice within five (5) business days of such meeting, the
matter shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution
provisions set forth in Section 4 of these Instructions. Any
Objection Notice shall specifically identify the amount of the
requested payment to which the objection applies and the basis for
such objection. No Objection Notice shall be valid if it does not
identify specific obligations. If a Builder fails to deliver an
Objection Notice within five (5) business days after Substitute
Constructing Party delivers the Draw Request to the Builders, such
Builder shall be deemed to have waived any objection to such Draw
Request.


 




 

62








 






 

(c) Substitute
Constructing Party shall submit the Draw Request to the CAB for
payment by the CAB as follows: (i) if no Builder has delivered
a timely Objection Notice within five (5) business days after
Substitute Constructing Party delivers the Draw Request to the
Builders, the Draw Request shall be deemed approved and the
Substitute Constructing Party shall submit the Draw Request to the
CAB or payment in full of the amount identified in such Draw
Request out of the Construction Account to the contractors and
payees identified in such Draw Request; or (ii) if a Builder
has delivered a timely Objection Notice, the portion of the payment
identified in such Draw Request to which no Builder has objected in
an applicable Objection Notice shall be deemed approved and
Substitute Constructing Party shall submit such portion to the CAB
for payment out of the Construction Account to the contractors and
payees identified in such Draw Request; and (iii) if a Builder has
delivered a timely Objection Notice, the amount of the portion of
the payment identified in such Draw Request to which a Builder has
objected in an applicable Objection Notice but which has been
resolved pursuant to Section 4 of these Instructions below, or if
the Builder otherwise withdraws its objection by notice to
Substitute Constructing Party and the other Builders, shall be paid
by the CAB out of the Construction Account to the contractors and
payees identified in such Draw Request.


 


(d)           Within
ten (10) days after Substitute Constructing Party gives the
Builders a Notice of Substantial Completion for any Improvement (a
“Completion
Notice”), a representative of Substitute Constructing
Party and each Builder shall inspect such Improvements, and shall
jointly prepare and agree upon a “punch-list” of items
for the applicable Improvement which is uncompleted or which
require repair or other corrective work (the “Punch List Items”). Substitute
Constructing Party shall, with reasonable diligence, use
commercially reasonable efforts as PM to cause the completion of
the Punch List Items.


 


(e)           On
or before fifteen (15) days after payment of the final Draw
Request, Substitute Constructing Party shall deliver to each
Builder copies of full and final unconditional lien waivers
executed by all contractors and suppliers for all labor and
materials paid for pursuant to the final Draw Request.


 


3.         Limitation
of Liability. Substitute Constructing Party shall not be
liable for the loss or impairment of the Construction Funds due to
failure or insolvency of any financial institution which may be the
depository of the Construction Funds.

 


4.           Expedited
Dispute Resolution.

 


(a)           Disputes
Related to Draw Requests and Punchlist Items. Disputes related to any Punch List Item or
matter, a Draw Request or an Objection Notice that the Parties are
unable to resolve (“Expedited
Dispute”) shall be
resolved as provided Article 9 of the Joint Improvement Memorandum
to which these Instructions are attached. A Party and shall
not be entitled to recover from any other Party exemplary,
punitive, special, indirect, consequential or any other damages
other than actual damages (unless the Informal Arbitrator finds
intentional abuse or frustration of the dispute resolution process)
in connection with an Expedited Dispute.

 


(b)           Standards
of Conduct. The Parties agree that with respect to all
aspects of the expedited dispute resolution process contained
herein they will conduct themselves in a manner intended to assure
the integrity and fairness of that process. To that end, if an
Expedited Dispute is submitted to expedited dispute resolution
process, the Parties agree that they will not contact or
communicate with the Informal Arbitrator who was appointed with
respect to any Expedited Dispute either ex parte or outside of the contacts and
communications contemplated by these Instruction, and the Parties
further agree that they will cooperate in good faith in the
production of evidence in a prompt and efficient manner to permit
the review and evaluation thereof by the other
Parties.

are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as
follows:


 

1. Incorporation
of Recitals. The recitals set forth above are true and
correct and are incorporated herein in their entirety by this
reference.


 

2. Construction Obligation. The
CAB is constructing the Sky Ranch Infrastructure and Rangeview is
constructing the Rangeview Infrastructure (collectively, the
“Improvements”).
PCY as the PM for both the CAB and Rangeview shall cause the
construction of the Improvements pursuant to Service
Agreements.


 

3. Deposit of Construction
Funds.


 

3.1 The estimated cost
to construct each of the Improvements is set forth on Exhibit A.

 

3.2 Not later than the
Effective Date, PCY shall advance to the CAB for deposit into a
segregated construction account that is owned and maintained by the
CAB at a nationally or regionally recognized FDIC insured financial
institution funds in the amount of _______________________________
Dollars ($_____________.00) (“CAB
Funds”) for the costs of design, testing, engineering
and construction of the CAB Infrastructure. The amount of the CAB
Funds is equal to the total estimated cost to substantially
complete construction of the CAB Infrastructure as set forth on
Exhibit

3.3 Not later than the
Effective Date, PCY shall advance to Rangeview for deposit into a
segregated construction account that is owned and maintained by
Rangeview at a nationally or regionally recognized FDIC insured
financial institution funds in the amount of
_______________________________ Dollars ($_____________.00)
(“Rangeview
Funds”) for the costs of design, testing, engineering
and construction of the Rangeview Infrastructure. The amount of the
Rangeview Funds is equal to the total estimated cost to
substantially complete construction of the Rangeview Infrastructure
as set forth on Exhibit A.
The Rangeview Funds shall be utilized solely to pay for the
construction of the Rangeview Infrastructure.

 

3.4 To the extent that
the contracted price to construct the Improvements exceeds the
estimated cost to substantially complete the Improvements, PCY
shall advance additional funds to increase the amount of the CAB
Funds deposited with the CAB, or the Rangeview Funds deposited with
Rangeview, as applicable, by the difference in the estimated versus
the contracted amounts. PCY is solely liable for any cost overruns
incurred in connection with the construction of the applicable
Improvements that exceed the amount of funds advanced by PCY to
either the CAB or Rangeview (a “Cost
Overrun”) and shall promptly notify the Builders of
the amount of the additional funds being deposited. If there is an
increase the construction cost in excess of the amount advanced to
a Constructing Entity, then PCY shall advance good funds to the
applicable Constructing Entity in the amount of the Cost Overrun
for deposit into the Construction Account (as herein after defined)
within five (5) business days after the date upon which PCY learns
that such increase has occurred. If PCY fails to advance the
necessary additional funds to the applicable Constructing Entity to
cover Cost Overruns, each affected Builder shall be entitled to all
remedies available at law or in equity, except incidental,
consequential, or punitive damages. In addition, any Builder or
group of Builders may advance additional funds PCY fails to pay, in
which event PCY shall reimburse the Builder(s) who advanced the
funds within thirty (30) days after receipt of an invoice (or, if
such reimbursement is outstanding as of the date of the Second
Closing, such Builders shall receive a credit in such amount at the
Second Closing). Invoices not paid within thirty (30) days after
receipt shall bear simple interest at the rate of 12% per annum
until paid.

 

4. Account. The CAB Funds and the
Rangeview Funds shall be held in construction accounts (each a
“Construction
Account”) that are owned and maintained by the CAB or
Rangeview, as applicable, as provided in Section 3 above. As PM,
PCY shall administer the payment of funds from the Construction
Account in payment of Draw Requests (as hereinafter defined) to pay
the costs to construct the Improvements. All funds deposited into
the Construction Account, together with any interest accrued
thereon, shall be referred to herein as the “Construction
Funds”. The Construction Funds in a Construction
Account shall not be commingled with other funds or accounts. PCY
shall keep good and accurate books of the Construction Funds and in
sufficient detail to allow construction costs and expenditures to
be calculated and which books and records shall be made available
to the Builders for review by the Builders upon reasonable prior
written notice.


 

5. Disbursement from the Construction
Account. As PM for each of the Constructing Entities, PCY
shall administer and process the payment of Construction Funds from
each Construction Account to pay contractors and payees identified
in Draw Requests in accordance with the instructions set forth on
Exhibit
B attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference
(“Instructions”).
If at any time PCY or a Builder becomes aware that Construction
Funds have been disbursed from a Construction Account for purposes
other than the construction of the applicable Improvements, such
Party shall immediately notify the other Parties.


 




 

67








 






 

6. Construction
of Improvements.


 

(a) Construction Schedule. PCY, as
PM for the Constructing Entities, shall use commercially reasonable
efforts cause the Improvements to be Substantially Complete within
the timeframe referenced in the first Sentence of Section 7(a),
below, subject to Force Majeure Delays.


 

(b) Construction Standard. The
Improvements will be completed, and each construction contract
entered into for the construction of any Improvement
(“Work
Contract”) will provide that the applicable
Improvements shall be completed, in a good, workmanlike and
lien-free manner, in accordance with the CDs and specifications
therefor as approved by the applicable approving authorities, and
the applicable laws, codes, regulations and governmental
requirements for the Development and Subdivision (the
“Construction
Standard”). PCY shall post or cause to be posted when
due all sureties or guaranties, if any, that are required by the
Authorities under the Entitlements in connection with the
construction of the Improvements.


 

(c) Progress Reports. PCY shall, no
less frequently than once per calendar month, provide the Builders
with a progress report setting forth the amount of Construction
Funds expended to date, a list of Improvements completed to date,
and an estimate of the status of overall completion of the
Improvements, in such form as PCY deems reasonably
appropriate.


 

(d) Temporary Construction
Easements.


 


(1)           Each
Builder hereby creates and grants to PCY and each other Builder,
for the use of PCY, the Constructing Entity and each other Builder
(if such other Builder exercises its respective step-in option) and
their respective successors, assigns, employees, agents,
contractors and subcontractors, such temporary non-exclusive
easements and licenses to enter upon the real property owned by
each Builder within the Subdivision (the “Builder Property”) as are
reasonable or necessary to permit PCY, the Constructing Entity or
such other Builder to perform the Improvements work, provided that
neither PCY, the Constructing Entity nor such other Builder in so
doing shall unreasonably impair or interfere with the performance
of any work on the other Builders’ property.

 


(2)           PCY
hereby creates and grants to each Builder (if it exercises its
Step-In Option), for the use of such Builder and its respective
successors, assigns, employees, agents, contractors and
subcontractors, such temporary non-exclusive easements and licenses
to enter upon the real property owned or controlled by PCY within
the Subdivision (the “PCY
Property”) as are reasonable or necessary to permit
such Builder to cause the completion of the construction of the
Improvements hereunder; provided that such Builder in doing so
shall unreasonably impair or interfere with the performance of any
work on the PCY Property by PCY.

 


 




 

68








 






 


(3)           The
foregoing temporary easements and licenses granted to the Parties
shall automatically terminate and cease to be of any further force
or effect upon the earlier of: (a) the date upon which the entirety
of the Improvements shall be completed; and (b) as to a particular
Lot, the date upon which a Builder (as applicable) has obtained a
certificate of occupancy for the home constructed upon such
Lot.

 

(e) Warranty Work. Notwithstanding
that either PCY or another Builder has caused the completion of the
Improvements in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, PCY as
PM shall be responsible for performing or causing to be performed
the warranty work required to release any applicable warranty
surety or guaranty with the County or other applicable
Authority.


 

(f) Erosion Control. As a part of
the Improvements hereunder, PCY shall provide or cause to be
provided all erosion control and stormwater management services
required by all Authorities having jurisdiction for the performance
of the Improvements work hereunder, including, without limitation,
obtaining, maintaining, complying with and fulfilling the
obligations under, all required permits, licenses and approvals
from any Authority having jurisdiction in connection therewith
concerning stormwater runoff, sediment or erosion control, storm
drainage, or any other water or sediment discharge pertaining to
the Property (the “Stormwater Permit”),
including any and all requirements, conditions, restrictions or
other terms contained in such Stormwater Permit, such as, but not
limited to, surety requirements, treatment requirements, discharge
limitations and revegetation requirements.


 

(g) Force Majeure Delays. A delay
in or failure to perform any obligations required of PCY (or any
Builder exercising a step-in right) hereunder shall not constitute
a default to the extent such delay or failure is caused by Force
Majeure Delays and all times for performance shall be extended by
the number of days of Force Majeure Delays. “Force Majeure Delays”
shall be limited to acts of God, war, terrorism, fire, flood,
earthquake, hurricane, weather conditions, strike, delay or
unavailability of labor or materials, delay or unavailability of
utilities, delays in obtaining governmental approvals to the extent
not caused by the party seeking approval, moratoria, injunctions,
orders or directives of any court or governmental body, or other
actions of third parties (but not including financial inability)
which, despite the exercise of reasonable diligence, the Party
required to perform is unable to prevent, avoid or remove. Within
thirty (30) days after the cessation of the occurrence of a Force
Majeure Delay, PCY (or Builder, as the case may be) will give
notice thereof specifying the cause of the Force Majeure Delay and
the number of days of the occurrence.


 

(h) Mechanic’s Liens. If
because of any act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of any
Party or its employees, agents, contractors or subcontractors under
this Agreement, any mechanic’s or other lien, charge or order
for the payment of money or other encumbrance shall be filed or
threatened against any of the other Parties hereunder and/or any
portion of its property (whether or not such lien, charge, order or
encumbrance is valid or enforceable as such), such party (the
“Indemnifying
Party”) shall at its own cost and expense, cause the
same to be discharged of record or bonded within thirty (30) days
after the assertion or the filing thereof; and the Indemnifying
Party shall indemnify, defend and save harmless the other parties
(the “Indemnified
Parties”) against and from all costs, liabilities,
suits, penalties, claims and demands, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, resulting therefrom; provided, however, that
any loss, cost, damage or expense to which the Indemnified Parties
shall be entitled under this Section shall be limited to out of
pocket losses, costs, damages or expenses (including, however any
punitive or consequential losses, costs, damages or expenses or
lost profits actually paid by an indemnified party to a contractor
or subcontractor pursuant to such a mechanic’s lien claim),
but none of the Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to recover
from the other any of its punitive or consequential losses, costs,
damages or expenses or lost profits as a result of any failure by
the Indemnifying Party to have complied with its obligations under
this Section. If the Indemnifying Party fails to comply with the
foregoing provisions, the other Party or Parties shall have the
option of discharging or bonding any such lien, charge, order or
encumbrance, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the other
party or parties for all costs, expenses and other sums of money in
connection therewith with interest at the rate of 10% per annum
thereon promptly upon demand.


 


 




 

69








 






 

(i) Insurance. From and after the
Effective Date, PCY shall obtain and maintain, at its expense, and
shall cause each contractor constructing any Improvements to obtain
and maintain: (a) workman’s compensation insurance as may be
required pursuant to the provisions of applicable law; and (b)
comprehensive general liability insurance in an amount of at least
$1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 in the
aggregate


 

(j) Service Agreements. PCY may
only amend or terminate either of the Service Agreements in
accordance with the process set forth in the Service Agreements.
PCY shall deliver to Builders copies of any written default notice
sent by PCY to a Constructing Entity within five (5) business days
after PCY’s transmission thereof to a Constructing Entity,
and shall deliver to Builders copies of any default notice received
by PCY from a Constructing Entity within five (5) business days
after PCY’s receipt thereof.


 

7. Self Help Remedy.


 

(a) In the event that
PCY defaults in the performance of its obligations to cause any
applicable Improvement or Improvements to be Substantially Complete
within 10 months after the date of the occurrence of the initial
closing under a Builder’s Purchase Agreement, after any
applicable notice and cure period, subject to Force Majeure Delays
and any other extension rights granted to PCY by that
Builder’s Purchase Agreement, and PCY thereafter fails to
timely cure such default in accordance with the terms hereof, the
following provisions shall apply. The Builder under whose Builder
Purchase Agreement PCY has defaulted, at its option, shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to step into the rights of PCY as
the PM under the Service Agreements and take control of the
construction of the Improvements as hereinafter provided (the
“Uncompleted
Improvements”) in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement by delivering written notice of such election to PCY and
the other Builders; provided, however, that notwithstanding any
provision in any Purchase Agreement to the contrary, upon the
receipt of such notice, Richmond American Homes of Colorado, Inc.
(if it is then a Builder hereunder and the owner of property in the
Subdivision) may exercise such right (first and ahead of the other
Builders) on behalf of all of the Builders (the “Richmond Step-In
Option”) by delivering written notice of such election
to PCY and the other Builders and, if Richmond fails to do so
within fifteen (15) days after PCY’s uncured default, then
the Builder under whose Builder Purchase Agreement PCY has
defaulted shall have the right to exercise such right (the
“Builder Step-in
Option”). Seller represents and warrants that every
currently existing and future Builder Purchase Agreement with
respect to the acquisition of unfinished lots provides for Richmond
to have the first right to step-in as described in the immediately
preceding sentence, and the provision for such first right to
step-in will not be modified without Richmond’s prior
consent, which consent may be withheld in Richmond’s sole
discretion if Richmond is then a Builder hereunder. If Richmond
does not timely exercise the Richmond Step-in Option, then the
other Builders shall have the right to exercise an option to
step-in and select the Exercising Builder (hereinafter defined) to
act on behalf of all such Builders to complete the Improvements by
giving notice to PCY and the other Builders within fifteen (15)
days following the deadline for Richmond to exercise the Richmond
Step-In Option. In such event, (i) the Builder that exercises such
right, including Richmond if it is a Builder, as applicable (the
“Exercising
Builder”) shall succeed to all of the rights and
obligations of PCY under this Agreement with respect to the
applicable Improvement or Improvements from and after the date such
right is exercised, including the right to obtain payment of Draw
Requests for the Construction Account to complete the Uncompleted
Improvements, and PCY shall assign to Exercising Builder all of
PCY’s right, title and interest, in and to the applicable
Service Agreement between PCY and the CAB and/or Rangeview for the
applicable Improvement or Improvements, but the Exercising Builder
shall not assume any responsibility for or otherwise have any
liability for any such obligations prior to such date or for any of
the acts or omissions of PCY, and the obligation to pay the costs
of the Improvements, including Cost Overruns, shall remain the sole
responsibility of PCY even if the costs exceed the amounts in the
Construction Account, (ii) PCY shall have no further rights or
obligations under this Agreement after the date such right is
exercised (except as otherwise set forth herein, with PCY in all
events remaining responsible for all costs of the Improvements and
to cooperate and assist if and as needed to help the Exercising
Builder complete the applicable Improvements) and that PCY shall
not be released of any other liability relating to this Agreement
or the Purchase Agreements that may accrue or arise on or before
such date, (iii) to the extent the same are not owned by any third
party, PCY shall assign to Exercising Builder, on an “as
is” basis without any representations or warranties, all of
PCY’s right, title and interest if any, in, to and under the
construction plans and specifications for the Improvements, and if
same are owned by a third party PCY shall be obligated and
responsible to secure the rights needed to use same from such third
parties or to pay the costs incurred to replace the same, and (iv)
PCY and Builders shall take all action reasonably required to
permit the Exercising Builder to act as the PM under the applicable
Service Agreement to complete the construction of the Uncompleted
Improvements. In such event, PCY and the Exercising Builder shall
give notice to the applicable Constructing Entity that PCY has
assigned the applicable Service Agreement to the Exercising Builder
hereunder and that the Exercising Builder has assumed the position
of PM under the Applicable Service Agreement and PCY shall take all
action necessary to permit the Exercising Builder act as the PM
under the Service Agreement, including the administration and
processing of Draw Requests from the Construction Account for the
payment of construction costs of the Uncompleted Improvements as
identified in Draw Requests in accordance with the terms hereof.
The Exercising Builder shall be entitled to a construction
coordinator’s fee in an amount equal to 5% of the costs which
are the subject of each Draw Request and which PCY shall pay within
30 days after the Exercising Builder’s delivery of an invoice
therefor to PCY.


 


 




 

70








 






 

(b) Effective as of the
date upon which an Exercising Builder exercises its Step-In Option,
PCY shall be deemed to have assigned to the Exercising Builder: (A)
any construction contracts entered into by PCY on its own behalf
for the completion of any Improvements (“Work Contracts”), if any, to the
extent that they pertain to such Uncompleted Improvements, (B) all
of PCY’s agreements with any utility providers to the extent
that they pertain to such Uncompleted Improvements, and (C) The
Service Agreement between PCY and Rangeview and/or the CAB, as
applicable. PCY will cause the Service Agreements to be assignable
to a Builder. The Exercising Builder shall also have the right to
take such actions as may reasonably be necessary or desirable to
obtain the County’s, or any other applicable Authority having
jurisdiction, initial acceptance of any such Uncompleted
Improvements that are completed by the Exercising Builder and which
the County, or such other Authority, is required to accept, subject
to the applicable developer’s warranty. Additionally, PCY
will execute such additional reasonable certifications, documents
or agreements as may be required to confirm the foregoing
assignments to the Exercising Builder and to enable the Exercising
Builder to obtain such agreement by the County, or any other such
applicable Authority having jurisdiction, to initially accept such
Uncompleted Improvements so completed by the Exercising Builder;
provided, however, the Exercising Builder shall have no obligation
to replace any surety previously delivered by PCY to the County or
other applicable Authority having jurisdiction for the Uncompleted
Improvements.


 

(c) In the event the
Exercising Builder takes over construction coordination of
Improvements as PM under a Service Agreement, Exercising
Builder’s assumption of the construction coordination of the
Improvements is done only as an accommodation to the Parties and
that, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, Exercising
Builder shall have no responsibility, liability or obligation with
respect to (and the Parties hereby covenant not to sue Exercising
Builder for, and hereby release the Exercising Builder from, all
liability and claims relating to or arising from) the design,
engineering, construction or completion of the Improvements, any
damage, loss or injury to any of the parties or otherwise related
to any action or inaction of Exercising Builder in connection with
this Agreement, or any defect in the materials or workmanship
pertaining to the Improvements, except for any “Exercising
Builder Covered Liability,” as hereinafter defined.
“Exercising Builder Covered Liability” means the
following matters for which Exercising Builder shall be liable to
the other Parties in connection with its performance as Exercising
Builder hereunder: (a) any damage, loss or injury arising from the
willful misconduct, bad faith, recklessness or illegal acts of the
Exercising Builder in performing or failing to perform hereunder,
or (b) damage, loss or injury arising from the fraudulent conduct
of Exercising Builder; provided, however, that any damages to which
the other Parties shall be entitled to recover for any Exercising
Builder Covered Liability shall be limited to out-of-pocket losses,
costs, damages or expenses, and the other Parties shall not be
entitled to recover from the Exercising Builder any punitive or
consequential losses, costs, damages or expenses or lost profits as
a result of, or in connection with, any Exercising Builder Covered
Liability. Exercising Builder makes no representation or warranty
with respect to the Improvements, and shall have no liability for
any defect in the materials or workmanship pertaining thereto. The
Parties hereby agree to look solely to the contractors engaged to
construct and complete the Improvements for any contractual
violation, indemnity, warranty or guarantee relating to the
Improvements. Upon completion of the Improvements, Exercising
Builder shall assign to the Parties (if any, and to the extent
assignable and without any representation or warranty whatsoever),
on a non-exclusive basis, any contractual rights received by
Exercising Builder from the contractors that construct or complete
any portion of the Improvements, including, without limitation, all
rights related to any indemnities, guaranties and/or warranties
received from such contractors.

8. Default
and Termination.


 

(a) Default. An “Event of
Default” by a Party shall be deemed to have occurred
hereunder if such Party shall materially breach or materially fail

in this Agreement and such breach or failure shall not be cured
within 30 days after delivery of notice to the defaulting party
from the non-defaulting party or, in the event such breach or
failure cannot be cured within 30 days, if the defaulting party
shall not have commenced, within said period, to cure such breach

 Instructions


 



1.            

Draw Requests from the
Construction Account. PCY shall
process and administer Draw Requests for the payment of
construction costs in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and these Instructions.






 

(d) On a periodic
basis, PCY shall submit to the Builders a copy of the request that
is to be submitted by PCY to the Constructing Entity for payment of
Construction Funds from the Construction Account to pay for:
(i) the design, engineering, permitting and all necessary
governmental approvals to construct the Improvements; and
(ii) the costs to construct the Improvements including, but
not limited to, the costs for any related landscaping, signage,
fencing and fixtures associated with the Improvements (each a
“Draw
Request”). Each Draw Request shall identify whether it
pertains to CAB Infrastructure or Rangeview Infrastructure and the
amount of the requested payment, and shall be certified to be true
and correct by PCY and accompanied by: (A) a description of
the basis for disbursement (i.e., an application for progress
payments based on the status of completion of the applicable
Improvements, or that substantial completion or final acceptance,
as applicable, has been obtained); (B) conditional lien waivers
(conditioned only upon payment of the amount due) from all
contractors covered thereunder for the amounts to be paid pursuant
to the Draw Request, and to the extent not previously provided
unconditional lien waivers from contractors paid from prior Draw
Requests; (C) PCY’s estimate of the percentage of completion
of the Improvements; and (D) PCY’s estimate of the cost to
complete the Improvements.


 

(e)   If a
Builder objects to all or any portion of the Draw Request, such
Builder shall deliver written notice of such objection (a
“Objection Notice”) to PCY and the other Builders on or
before the fifth (5th) business day after PCY delivers the Draw
Request to the Builders. A Builder may only object to a Draw
Request in the event that (i) the documents or statements required
by Section (a) above in conjunction with a Draw Request were not
properly delivered, are incomplete or contain material errors, (ii)
the remaining cost to complete the Improvements after payment of
the Draw Request will exceed the amount of the Construction Funds
in the Construction Account which objection will be deemed cured
upon the deposit by PCY of additional Construction Funds into the
Construction Account to cover the excess amount, or (iii) the work
is not work that is to be completed pursuant to this Agreement. If
a Builder delivers an Objection Notice, the Builders and PCY shall
meet within three (3) business days after receipt of the Objection
Notice to review and discuss any such Objection Notice. If the
parties are unable to resolve any Objection Notice within five (5)
business days of such meeting, the matter shall be resolved
pursuant to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Section
5 of these Instructions. Any Objection Notice shall specifically
identify the amount of the requested payment to which the objection
applies and the basis for such objection. No Objection Notice shall
be valid if it does not identify specific obligations. If a Builder
fails to deliver an Objection Notice within five (5) business days
after PCY delivers the Draw Request to the Builders, such Builder
shall be deemed to have waived any objection to such Draw
Request.


 




 

79








 






 

(f) PCY shall submit
the Draw Request to the applicable Constructing Entity for payment
as follows: (i) if no Builder has delivered a timely Objection
Notice within five (5) business days after PCY delivers the Draw
Request to the Builders, the Draw Request shall be deemed approved
and PCY shall submit the Draw Request to the applicable
Constructing Entity for payment in full of the amount identified in
such Draw Request out of the Construction Account to the
contractors and payees identified in such Draw Request; or
(ii) if a Builder has delivered a timely Objection Notice, the
portion of the payment identified in such Draw Request to which no
Builder has objected in an applicable Objection Notice shall be
deemed approved and PCY shall submit such portion to the applicable
Constructing Entity for payment out of the Construction Account to
the contractors and payees identified in such Draw Request; and
(iii) if a Builder has delivered a timely Objection Notice, the
amount of the portion of the payment identified in such Draw
Request to which a Builder has objected in an applicable Objection
Notice but which has been resolved pursuant to Section 5 of these
Instructions below, or if the Builder otherwise withdraws its
objection by notice to PCY and the other Builders, shall be paid by
the applicable Constructing Entity out of the Construction Account
to the contractors and payees identified in such Draw
Request.


 


(d)           Within
ten (10) days after PCY gives the Builders a Notice of Substantial
Completion for any Improvement (a “Completion Notice”), a
representative of PCY and each Builder shall inspect such
Improvements, and shall jointly prepare and agree upon a
“punch-list” of items for the applicable Improvement
which is uncompleted or which require repair or other corrective
work (the “Punch List
Items”). PCY shall, with reasonable diligence, use
commercially reasonable efforts as PM to cause the completion of
the Punch List Items.


 


(e)           On
or before fifteen (15) days after payment of the final Draw
Request, PCY shall deliver to each Builder copies of full and final
unconditional lien waivers executed by all contractors and
suppliers for all labor and materials paid for pursuant to the
final Draw Request.


 


3.         Limitation
of Liability. PCY shall not be liable for the loss or
impairment of the Construction Funds due to failure or insolvency
of any financial institution which may be the depository of the
Construction Funds.

 


4.         Expenses.
PCY shall pay the fees, charges and expenses of PCY, including, but
not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and
other out-of-pocket costs as may be incurred by PCY to administer
and process Draw Requests under this Agreement.

 


5. Expedited
Dispute Resolution.

 


(a) Disputes Related to
Draw Requests and Punchlist Items. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
disputes related to any Punch List Item or matter, a Draw Request
or an Objection Notice that the Parties are unable to resolve
(“Expedited
Disputes”) shall be
resolved by CVL Engineers – Melinda Lundquist or if
such party is not available or unwilling to serve as arbitrator,
another reputable third party licensed engineer selected by PCY and
approved by Builders (“Informal
Arbitrator”). Within five (5) business days after
notice to all Parties that an Expedited Dispute exists, each of the
Parties involved in the Expedited Dispute shall deliver to the
Informal Arbitrator a written statement of how such Party believes
the Expedited Dispute should be resolved, together with reasonable
supporting documentation of such position (“Resolution
Notice”). Within ten (10) business days after receipt
of Resolution Notices from both such Parties, the Informal
Arbitrator shall approve one (1) of the Parties’ Resolution
Notice and shall deliver written notice of such approval to each
Party and to Disburser. The decision of the Informal Arbitrator
shall be binding on all Parties with respect to the applicable
Expedited Dispute. All Parties shall timely cooperate with the
Informal Arbitrator in rendering his or her decision. The Party or
Parties involved in the Expedited Dispute that are not the
prevailing party in the resolution of the Expedited Dispute shall
promptly pay the Informal Arbitrator’s fee, and the
prevailing party’s other fees and costs of any such expedited
dispute resolution process and reasonable attorney’s fees.
The term “prevailing party” means the Party who
successfully obtains substantially all of the relief sought by such
Party or is successful in denying substantially all of the relief
sought by the other Party. The Parties acknowledge that there is a
benefit to the Parties in having work done as expeditiously as
possible and that there is a need for a streamlined method of
making decisions described in this Section so that work is not
delayed. A Party and shall not be entitled to recover from any
other Party exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential
or any other damages other than actual damages (unless the Informal
Arbitrator finds intentional abuse or frustration of the dispute
resolution process) in connection with an Expedited
Dispute.

 


 




 

80








 






 

 


(b) Standards
of Conduct. The Parties agree that with respect to all
aspects of the expedited dispute resolution process contained
herein they will conduct themselves in a manner intended to assure
the integrity and fairness of that process. To that end, if an
Expedited Dispute is submitted to expedited dispute resolution
process, the Parties agree that they will not contact or
communicate with the Informal Arbitrator who was appointed with
respect to any Expedited Dispute either ex parte or outside of the contacts and
communications contemplated by these Instruction, and the Parties
further agree that they will cooperate in good faith in the
production of evidence in a prompt and efficient manner to permit
the review and evaluation thereof by the other
Parties.

3.2            

Payment of Deferred Purchase
Price. Upon achieving Substantial Completion (as defined in
Section 4.5.1 of the LDA) of the Improvements in each Phase as
identified in Section 6.1 of the LDA, Seller shall deliver to
Purchaser and Escrow Holder an invoice for payment of the
applicable of the Deferred Purchase Price that is based upon the
completion of certain Improvements that serve such Phase,
which Invoice shall
be accompanied by conditional lien waivers from all Lien Claimants
for such work in the statutorily prescribed form and unconditional
lien waivers in the statutorily prescribed form from all Lien
Claimants for the work included in the prior
Invoice. As used herein, the term
“Lien
Claimants” shall mean all
contractors and material suppliers who perform services or supply
materials in connection with the construction of the
Improvements. Each Invoice will include the amount of the
Deferred Purchase Price to be paid consistent with Section 6.1 of
the LDA and shall include Seller’s certification to Purchaser
that the Improvements applicable to the Invoice are Substantially
Complete as provided in Section 4.5.1 of the LDA. Purchaser shall
pay the applicable portion of the Deferred Purchase in Good Funds
within five (5) business days after an invoice for payment
(“Invoice”) is
delivered to Purchaser by Seller.







                       

(a)            

Written Objection. Purchaser
shall have five (5) business days from its receipt of the subject
Invoice to deliver to Seller and Escrow Holder a written objection
to payment of the Invoice (the “Objection Period”). If no such
written objection is made by Purchaser, then Purchaser shall pay to
Seller the amount of the Invoice not later that the expiration of
the Objection Period. Purchaser shall not object to an Invoice
submitted by Seller unless Seller has not achieved Substantial
Completion as required by Section 4.5.1 of the LDA with respect to
the applicable Improvements covered by the Invoice, or the amount
of the Invoice exceeds the applicable amount permitted under
Section 6.1 of the LDA, or the Invoice does not include the
information or supporting documentation required by this Section
3.2. No other objections are allowed. Any written objection shall
state with specificity the basis of the objection, and the actions
that must be taken in order for the objection to be withdrawn. Upon
withdrawal of the objection, Purchaser shall pay the Invoice within
five (5) business days after withdrawal. Seller and Purchaser
shall, in good faith, attempt to resolve any disputes regarding an
objection to disbursement within five (5) days after Seller’s
receipt of the written objection (“Resolution Period”). If Seller and
Purchaser are unable so to resolve any disputes within such (5) day
period, the dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the Expedited
Dispute Resolution provisions of Section 7 of the LDA.






 



                       

(b)            

Failure to Pay Invoice. If
Purchaser fails to pay an undisputed Invoice when due and payable,
and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the
delivery of written notice thereof from Seller to Purchaser and
Escrow Holder, Seller may give written notice to Escrow Holder
stating that such payment has not been made as required above, and
Escrow Holder shall present the Letter of Credit for the applicable
Lots for payment of a partial draw in the amount of the unpaid
Invoice and pay the proceeds thereof to Seller, and such failure to
pay shall be deemed cured.






 



                       

(c)            

Reduction of Letter of Credit.
A Letter of Credit may provide that it will be reduced from time to
time to the extent of payments of the Deferred Purchase Price in
Good Funds made by Purchaser for Improvements in accordance with
the terms, including the payment schedule, set forth in this LDA
and the Contract. Upon each payment of a portion of the Deferred
Purchase Price pursuant to an Invoice, the Letter of Credit shall
be reduced by Escrow Holder by the amount paid by Purchaser by
means of a Reduction Certificate delivered to the issuer of the
Letter of Credit, as contemplated by the terms of the Letter of
Credit. 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 Purchase Price in Good Funds for all of the Lots in such
Closing.






 




 

101








 






 



(d)           

Renewal of Letter of Credit.
If a Letter of Credit is scheduled to
expire prior to the payment in full of the Deferred Purchase Price
in Good Funds for all of the Lots in a Closing, and Purchaser has
not renewed the Letter of Credit at least fifteen (15) days prior
to the expiration date thereof, Escrow Holder is authorized and
directed to draw down the full amount of the Letter of Credit and
deposit such funds in escrow (which funds will constitute Escrow
Funds) to be used solely for the payment of any unpaid Deferred
Purchase Price due to Purchaser’s failure to pay an
Invoice for any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price when the
same is due and payable; provided, however, that prior to drawing
upon the Letter of Credit, Holder shall give a written notice to
Purchaser and shall not draw upon the Letter of credit unless
Purchaser fails to renew the Letter of Credit within five (5)
business days after receipt of such notice. Escrow Holder shall make payment from such Escrow
Funds in accordance with the same procedures set forth above with
respect to drawing upon a Letter of Credit for payment of the
unpaid Invoice.  [NOTE:
Some of these letter of credit provisions are duplicated in the
LDA. Discuss only including them in this escrow
agreement.]







                       

(e)            

Representatives. Seller
appoints Mark Harding as its authorized representative who may sign
notifications on Seller’s behalf. Purchaser appoints
_________________ as its authorized representative who may sign
notifications on Purchaser’s behalf.






 



            

3.3            

Manner of Disbursements.

right, at its election, to do either or both of the
following:






 



                       

(a)            

Withhold and stop
all further proceedings in, and performance of, this Agreement
until such time as all differences shall have been adjusted by

any successor to it hereafter appointed, may at any time resign by
giving notice in writing, stating the effective date of its
resignation to Seller and Purchaser, and furnishing to Seller and
Purchaser a written accounting of the Escrow Funds previously

upon the appointment of a successor Escrow Holder as hereinafter
provided and upon the delivery to such successor Escrow Holder of
the Letter of Credit and all Escrow Funds remaining in Escrow
Holder’s possession, shall be discharged from any further

Escrow Holder shall be appointed by Seller, subject to the prior

STEP-IN
RIGHTS


 



            

5.1            

Step-In Rights. Purchaser, Seller and other builders
are parties to a Joint Improvement Memorandum (“JIM”). The purpose of the JIM is
to establish the rights and obligations of Purchaser and such other
builders to complete the construction of certain Joint Improvements
(as defined in the JIM) in the event that Seller defaults under the
LDA (or any other Lot Development Agreement between Seller and
another builder who is a party to the JIM) by failing to commence
or complete construction of the Joint Improvements in accordance
with the requirements of the LDA or such other Lot Development
Agreement. If another builder other than Purchaser exercises its
Builder’s Step-In Rights and becomes the Substitute
Contracting Party (as defined in Section 4.6 of the LDA, a copy of
which is attached hereto as Schedule 1), and Purchaser fails to
timely pay either (i) an undisputed Draw Request (as defined in the
JIM), or (ii) a Draw Request that has been resolved pursuant to
Section 4.2 of the JIM (“Resolved Draw Request”), for its
Allocable Share of the Joint Improvement Costs (as defined in the
JIM), the Substitute Contracting Party shall have the right to a
draw upon the Letter of Credit for payment of the undisputed Draw
Request or Resolved Draw Request for a Joint Improvement in
accordance with procedures set forth in this Agreement. The
Substitute Contracting Party may make a request for a draw on the
Letter of Credit (an “LOC
Joint Improvement Payment Request”) by delivering
written notice to Escrow Holder, Purchaser and Seller identifying
itself as the Substitute Contracting Party and stating that
Purchaser has failed to pay, as required by the terms of the JIM,
either an undisputed Draw Request or a Resolved Draw Request. The
LOC Joint Improvement Payment Request must include an Invoice
containing the following information: (a) the total amount to be
paid pursuant to the current unpaid Draw Request; (b) the identity
of the suppliers, contractors, subcontractors that are to paid from
the current Draw Request; (c) the Substitute Contracting
Party’s certification that the LOC Joint Improvement Payment
Request is true, correct and complete in all material respects; and
(d) copies of conditional lien waivers and releases (conditional
only on receipt of payment) from Substitute Contracting Party and
the suppliers, contractors, subcontractors (excluding
subcontractors and materials suppliers who have not filed a
preliminary twenty (20) day lien notice) that are to paid from the
current Draw Request. Unless Purchaser objects to the LOC Joint
Improvement Payment Request by delivering a written objection to
the Substitute Contracting Party and Escrow Holder within five (5)
business days after receipt of the LOC Joint Improvement Payment
Request, Escrow Holder shall present the Letter of Credit for
payment of a partial draw in the amount of the LOC Joint
Improvement Payment Request and pay the proceeds thereof to the
Substitute Contracting Party. If the Escrow Holder receives an
objection from Purchaser within such 5-business day period, Escrow
Holder shall not draw upon the Letter of Credit and shall
thereafter proceed in accordance with written joint instructions
from Purchaser and Substitute Contracting Party or may proceed in
accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement. [NOTE: Discuss what
improvements are joint and whether they should be constructed under
a separate JDA with seller and all builders as
parties.]

Successors and Assigns. Except
as expressly provided in Sections 3.6 and 3.7, Escrow Holder may
not assign or delegate, by operation of law or otherwise, all or
any portion of its rights, obligations or liabilities under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of Seller and
Purchaser, which consent may be withheld in their absolute

taken hereunder in accordance with its terms shall be binding upon
and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, successors and permitted assigns.
There are no third party
beneficiaries of this Agreement. [NOTE: This
conflicts with Article 5 and the joint improvement memorandum. Each
builder would need to be a third party beneficiary of each other
escrow agreement.]






 



            

6.3            

Headings. The headings of the
various sections in this Agreement are inserted for the convenience

6.4            

Waiver. No action taken
pursuant to this Agreement, including any investigation by or on
behalf of any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the
party taking such action of compliance with any agreement contained
herein or of any warranty, representation, covenant or agreement
contained in the LDA or Contract or in any document delivered in
connection herewith or therewith. No waiver of any of the
provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless the same is in
writing and signed by the party against whom such waiver is sought
to be enforced. The written waiver by any party to this Agreement
of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or
be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach of such provision
or as a waiver of any breach of any other provision of this
Agreement.






 



            

6.5            

Governing Law. The formation,
interpretation and performance of this Agreement shall be construed
pursuant to and governed by the substantive laws of the State of
Colorado.






 



            

6.6            

Counterparts. This Agreement
may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.






 



            

6.7            

Tax Matters. Escrow Holder
shall be responsible for preparing, filing, and distributing all
IRS 1099 Forms and any other tax forms necessary with respect to
any income earned on portions of the Escrow Funds.






 



            

6.8            

Entire Agreement and
Modification. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement among the parties with respect to the Letter of Credit
and the Escrow Funds, and supersedes all prior agreements and
understandings, oral and written, among the parties to this
Agreement with respect to the subject matter hereof, except the LDA
and the Contract. In the event of any inconsistency between this
Agreement and the LDA or the Contract, the terms of this Agreement
shall govern and control the rights and obligations of Purchaser

except by a written instrument that expressly refers to this
Agreement and is executed by the party to this Agreement against
whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.

6.9            

Severability. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of
this Agreement, which shall remain in full force and
effect.






 



            

6.10            

Expenses. Except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, each of the parties to this Agreement,
except Escrow Holder, shall pay its own expenses in connection with
this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including
the fees and expenses of its counsel and its accountants and other
experts.






 



            

6.11            

Cumulative Remedies. All rights
and remedies of either party hereto are cumulative of each other
and of every other right or remedy such party may otherwise have at
law or in equity, and the exercise of one or more rights or
remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent
exercise of other rights or remedies.






 



            

6.12            

Costs of Legal Proceedings. In
the event that a party hereunder institutes legal proceedings with

COVENANTS,
CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS


FOR
SKY RANCH


THESE
COVENANTS, CONDITIONS AND RESTRICTIONS FOR SKY RANCH
(“Covenants,” as
hereinafter more fully defined) are made and entered into the date
and year hereinafter set forth by PCY Holdings, LLC, a Colorado
limited liability company (“Developer,” as hereinafter more
fully defined).

 


 


WITNESSETH:


 

A. Developer is the
owner of that certain real property in the County of Arapahoe
(“County”), State of Colorado, which is described on
Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this
reference (“Property,”, as hereinafter more fully
defined).


 

B. Developer desires
to subject the Property to certain covenants, conditions,
restrictions, easements, architectural guidelines, reservations,
rights-of-way, obligations, liabilities and other
provisions.


 

C. These Covenants do
not create a Common Interest Community, as defined by the Colorado
Common Interest Ownership Act at C.R.S. §38-33.3-103(8);
therefore, these Covenants are not governed by the Colorado Common
Interest Ownership Act.


 

D. Pursuant to C.R.S.
§ 32-1-1004(8), and other provisions of Title 32 of C.R.S.,
the Developer empowers the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (the
“CAB”) with
authority to furnish covenant enforcement and design review
services for the Property (collectively, the “Services,” as hereinafter more
fully defined).


 

E. Developer reserves
the right to add additional real property to these Covenants by
recording an annexation document as more particularly described and
set forth herein.


 

F. Pursuant to the
Colorado Constitution, Article XIV, Sections 18(2)(a) and (b), and
C.R.S. Section 29-1-2-3, 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.


 

G. Pursuant to the
Modified Service Plans for Sky Ranch Metropolitans District Nos. 1,
3, 4 and 5 (“Sky Ranch
Districts”), approved by Arapahoe County on September
14, 2004, as may be amended from time to time (“Service Plans”), the Sky Ranch
Districts may furnish covenant enforcement and design review
services and cooperate and contract with each other regarding
administrative and operational functions.


 




 

110








 






 

H. Pursuant to the Sky
Ranch Districts’ Service Plans, the Districts intend to
exercise their powers to provide covenant enforcement and design
review services, as defined in C.R.S. Section 32-1-1004(8), for the
Property.


 

I. In accordance with
the Service Plans and statutory authority, the Sky Ranch Districts
intend to enter into a Sky Ranch Community Authority Board
Establishment Agreement (“CABEA”), creating the CAB and
authorizing the CAB to provide covenant enforcement and design
review services within the Service Areas of the Sky Ranch Districts
that are parties to the CABEA using revenue derived from the areas
in which the services are to be furnished.


 

J. In accordance with
the Service Plans, the CABEA and statutory authority, the CAB has
duly adopted a resolution acknowledging its power to provide
covenant enforcement and design review services pursuant to state
statute, the intention of the CAB to provide for uniform
enforcement and design review services within the service areas of
the Sky Ranch Districts that are parties to the CABEA, and
authorizing the CAB to provide covenant enforcement and design
review services within the service area of the Sky Ranch Districts
that are parties to the CABEA using revenue derived from the areas
in which the services are to be furnished.


 

K. Before the addition
of the service area of any Sky Ranch District to these Covenants,
the applicable Sky Ranch District intends to: (i) duly adopt a
resolution acknowledging the CAB’s power to provide covenant
enforcement and design review services pursuant to state statute
and its intention to provide for uniform enforcement and design
review services within the service areas of the Sky Ranch Districts
using revenues derived from the areas in which the services are to
be furnished; and (ii) authorize the CAB to provide covenant
enforcement and design review services within such Sky Ranch
District’s service area.


 


DECLARATION

 


NOW,
THEREFORE, Developer hereby declares that the Property shall be
held, sold, and conveyed, subject to the following covenants,
conditions, restrictions, easements, architectural guidelines,
reservations, rights-of-way, obligations, liabilities, and other
provisions, as set forth herein.






ARTICLE 1



GENERAL

 

Section
1.1 Planned Community.


  Developer is the owner of the Lots and
other Property located in the County as more particularly described
on Exhibit
A attached hereto and by this
reference incorporated herein, which collectively constitute and
are defined in these Covenants as the “Property”.
Developer intends to develop the Property as a planned community of
single family residential homes and related uses. The name of the
community to be developed on the Property is “Sky
Ranch”. All of the Property is located within the Service
Area of Sky Ranch Metropolitan District No. 1, a quasi-municipal
corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado.
Because ownership of a Unit (as defined below) does not obligate
the owner to pay for real estate taxes, insurance premiums,
maintenance, or improvement of other real estate described in these
Covenants, the Property is not and will not be a “common
interest community”, as defined in the Colorado Common
Interest Ownership Act (“Act”), and therefore the Property and these
Covenants are not subject to or required to comply with the Act.
Developer confirms its intention that the Act will not apply to the
Property or these Covenants.

Section
1.2 Purposes of Covenants.

Property; (c) to provide for and define certain duties, powers and
rights of the Architectural Review Committee, as defined herein;
(d) to define certain duties, powers and rights of the CAB under
these Covenants; and (e) to define certain duties, powers and
rights of Owners of Lots within the Property.

 

Section
1.3 Declarations.


 Developer,
for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby declares that the
Property, and all other real property that becomes subject to these
Covenants in the manner hereinafter provided from the date the same
becomes subject to these Covenants, shall be owned, held,
transferred, conveyed, sold, leased, rented, hypothecated,
encumbered, used, occupied, maintained, altered and improved
subject to the covenants, conditions, restrictions, limitations,
reservations, exceptions, equitable servitudes and other provisions
set forth in these Covenants. The provisions of these Covenants run
with the land and, until their expiration in accordance with the
terms hereof, shall bind, be a charge upon and inure to the mutual
benefit of: (a) the Property and all other real property that
becomes part of the Property; (b) Developer and its successors and
assigns; (c) the Sky Ranch Districts, through the CAB, and their
successors and assigns; and (d) all Persons having or acquiring any
right, title or interest in any portion of the Property or in any
property that becomes part of the Property, or any Improvement
thereon, and their heirs, personal representatives, successors or
assigns. These Covenants will be recorded in the real property
records of the County.

 

Section
1.4  CAB
Authority.


  Declarant, through these Covenants, grants
authority to the Sky Ranch Districts, through the CAB, to act on
behalf of Declarant for certain matters specifically set forth in
these Covenants, including implementing these Covenants, enforcing
these Covenants and providing design review services. Declarant
grants the Sky Ranch Districts, through the CAB, authority as
provided herein to adopt Rules and Regulations, and Guidelines
pertaining to architectural and design review, each for the
effective governance of the Property to implements these Covenants.
Declarant grants to the Sky Ranch Districts, through the CAB,
authority to review and approve Improvements in compliance with the
Guidelines and these Covenants and to enforce the Guidelines.
Declarant grants to the Sky Ranch Districts, through the CAB,
authority to appoint the ARC as provided herein and to exercise all

ARCHITECTURAL
REVIEW

 

Section
3.1 Composition of ARC.


  The ARC shall consist of three (3) or
more natural Persons. The Developer has the authority to appoint
the ARC, and/or to delegate
some or all architectural authority (as provided in
Section 3.2 hereof), from the date of recording of these
Covenants until the date of conveyance of all the Units to the
first Owners thereof other than: (i) the Developer; or (ii) any
Builder; or (iii) any other
Person who acquires one or more parcels of the Property for the
purpose of constructing at least one residence on each such parcel
(the “Developer Control
Period”). After
expiration of the Developer Control Period, the governing board of
the CAB has the authority to serve as or appoint members to the ARC
, and/or to delegate some or all architectural authority (as
provided in Section 3.2
hereof). The appointments of all
then-current members of the ARC who were appointed by the Developer
will automatically terminate on the date which is thirty (30) days
after expiration of the Developer Control
Period.

 

Section
3.2 Delegation of Some or All Architectural
Authority.


  The Person with the authority to
appoint the ARC, as provided in the preceding Section 3.1,
has the right and authority to: (i) delegate, in writing, some or
all architectural authority, to one or more other Persons,
including one or more management companies, metropolitan or other
district(s), such as by entering into intergovernmental
agreement(s) or other document(s) or agreement(s); and (ii)
withdraw, in writing, any delegated authority.

Section
3.3 Architectural Review Requirements; Authority of
the ARC.

 


3.3.1                      No
Improvements may be constructed, erected, placed, altered, planted,
applied, installed or modified, upon any Unit, unless said
Improvements are in full compliance with all provisions of the
Governing Documents, and unless such Improvements are approved in
writing by the ARC. At least one (1) detailed set of complete plans
and specifications of proposed Improvements (said plans and
specifications to show exterior design, height, materials, color,
and location of the Improvements, plotted horizontally and
vertically, location and size of driveways, location, size, and
type of landscaping, fencing, walls, windbreaks and grading plan,
as well as such other materials and information as may be required
by the ARC), must first be submitted to the ARC for review and
consideration.

 


3.3.2                      The
ARC shall endeavor to exercise its judgment in an attempt to
provide for each proposed Improvement to generally harmonize with
the existing surroundings, residences, landscaping and structures.
However, the ARC shall not review or approve any proposed
Improvements regarding whether the same complies with governmental
requirements. Rather, as provided in subsection 0, below, the
applicant is also required to submit proposed Improvements to the
applicable governmental entities for a determination of compliance
with governmental requirements. In its review of such plans,
specifications and other materials and information, the ARC may
require, as a condition to its considering an approval request,
that the applicant(s) pay, and/or reimburse the ARC, for the
expenses incurred in the process of review and approval or
disapproval.



3.3.3                      In
addition to the foregoing review and approval, and notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in these Covenants, the construction,
erection, addition, deletion, change or installation, of any
Improvements also requires the applicant to obtain the approval of
all governmental entities with jurisdiction thereover, and requires
the issuance of all required permits, licenses and approvals by all
such entities. Without limiting the generality of the preceding
sentence, issuance of building permit(s) by the governmental entity
with jurisdiction thereover, if required, is a precondition to
commencement of any construction of, alteration of, addition to or
change in, any Improvement.

 


3.3.4                      In
addition to the authority that is given to the ARC in these
Covenants, as well as such authority as may be implied from any
provision(s) of these Covenants, the ARC has all authority and
powers that are given by Colorado statute and case law, to a
corporation, a limited liability company, or any other legal
entity. The foregoing shall include the power to receive and review
complaints from one or more Owners, Developer, one or more
Builders, or any other Person(s), alleging that a violation of any
of the Governing Documents has occurred or is
occurring.

 


3.3.5                      The
ARC may, at any time, appoint a representative or committee to act
on its behalf. If so, then the actions of such representative or
committee shall be the actions of the ARC. However, if such a
representative or committee is appointed, then the ARC will have
full power over such representative or committee, including the
power to at any time withdraw from such representative or
committee, any authority to act on behalf of the ARC, and the power
to at any time remove or replace such representative or
committee.

Section
3.4 Guidelines.


  The Developer may promulgate, adopt,
enact, modify, amend, repeal, and re-enact, architectural
standards, rules, regulations and/or guidelines, regarding
architectural and design matters and matters incidental thereto
(collectively the “Guidelines”), and the CAB, once it has the authority
to appoint the ARC as provided in Section 3.1 of
these Covenants may modify, amend, repeal, and re-enact the
Guidelines, but the Guidelines may not be in conflict with these
Covenants. The Guidelines may include: clarifying the designs and
materials that may be considered in architectural approval;
requirements for submissions, procedural requirements,
specification of acceptable Improvement(s) that may be installed
without prior review or approval; and permitting the ARC, with
respect to any violation(s) or alleged violation(s) of any of the
Governing Documents, to send demand letters and notices, levy and
collect fines and interest, and negotiate, settle and take any
other actions. In addition, the Guidelines may provide for blanket
approvals, interpretations, or restrictions. By way of example, and
not by way of limitation, the Guidelines may state that a certain
type of screen door will be acceptable and will not require
approval, or may state that only one or more types of fences are
acceptable and no other types will be approved. All Improvements
proposed to be constructed, erected, placed, altered, planted,
applied, installed or modified, upon any Unit by any Owner must be
done and used in accordance with the Guidelines and these
Covenants. The Guidelines (as amended from time to time in
accordance with their terms) may not be recorded against the
Property but are hereby incorporated into these Covenants as if
fully set forth herein.

 

Section
3.5 Procedures.


  The ARC shall review each request for
architectural approval in accordance with the design review
procedures set forth in the Design Guidelines or the CCR Rules and
Regulations, and approve (which may be with conditions and/or
requirements) or disapprove, each request in writing within
forty-five (45) days after the complete submission to the ARC along
with a receipt of acknowledgement by the ARC of the plans,
specifications and other materials and information, which the ARC
may require in conjunction therewith. If the ARC fails to review
and give its writing approval (which may be with conditions and/or
requirements) or disapproval within forty-five (45) days after the
complete submission of the plans, specifications, materials and
other information with respect to a written request for
architectural approval, then such request is deemed approved by the ARC.

 

Section
3.6 Vote.


  The
affirmative, majority vote of the ARC is required for approval
(which may be with conditions and/or requirements) of each matter,
unless the ARC has appointed a representative or committee to act
for it, in which case the decision of such representative or
committee will control, unless the denial of the ARC is appealed by
the applicant to the CAB Board of Directors within thirty (30) days
of the date of the ARC written decision of denial in which case the
written decision of the Board of the CAB shall
control.

 

Section
3.7 Prosecution of Work After
Approval.


  After the ARC approves (which may be with
conditions and/or requirements) any proposed Improvement, the
proposed Improvement must be completed and constructed as promptly
and diligently as possible, and in complete conformity with all
conditions and requirements of the approval. Failure to complete
the proposed Improvement within the time period set forth in the
Guidelines or, if not set forth in the Guidelines, then within one
(1) year after the date of approval of the application
(“Completion
Deadline”), or to
complete the Improvement in complete conformance with the
conditions and requirements of the approval, constitutes
noncompliance; provided, however, that the ARC may grant extensions
of time to individual Owners for completion of any proposed
Improvements, either (a) at the time of initial approval of
such Improvements, or (b) upon the request of any Owner,
provided such request is delivered to the ARC in writing and the
Owner is diligently prosecuting completion of the subject
Improvements or other good cause exists at the time such request is
made. Builders are exempt from this Section 3.7.

 


 




 

116








 






 

Section
3.8 Notice of Completion.


  Upon the completion of an Improvement,
the applicant for approval of the same shall give a written
“Notice of
Completion” to the ARC
(in form and substance acceptable to the ARC, or on forms provided
by the ARC). Until the date of receipt of such Notice of
Completion, the ARC shall not be deemed to have notice of
completion of any Improvement on which approval (which may be with
conditions and/or requirements) has been sought and granted as
provided in this Article.

 

Section
3.9 Inspection of Work.


 The
ARC, or its duly authorized representative, has the right to
inspect any Improvement at any time, including prior to or after
completion, in order to determine whether or not the proposed
Improvement is being completed or has been completed in compliance
with the approval granted pursuant to this Article. Such
inspections may be made in order to determine whether or not the
proposed Improvement is being completed, or has been completed, in
compliance with the approval granted pursuant to this Article.
However, such right of inspection terminates ninety (90) days after
the ARC has received a Notice of Completion from the applicant and
no action has been initiated by the ARC. The 90-day period to
perform inspections after the ARC has received a Notice of
Completion does not apply to or limit the right or authority of the
ARC or the Board to enforce these Covenants, including but not
limited to the requirements pertaining to the maintenance of
Improvements.

 

Section
3.10 Notice
of Non-compliance


. If, as a result of inspections or otherwise, the
ARC determines that any Improvement has been done without obtaining
all required approvals (which may be with conditions and/or
requirements), or was not done in substantial compliance with the
approval that was granted, or has not been completed by the
Completion Deadline (except landscaping, as provided below),
subject to any extensions of time granted pursuant to
Section 3.7 hereof, then the ARC shall notify the applicant in
writing of the non-compliance. Such notice of non-compliance must
be given not later than sixty (60) days after (as applicable), (a)
the ARC receives a Notice of Completion from the applicant, or (b)
the ARC discovers any such noncompliance. The notice of
non-compliance must specify the particulars of the
non-compliance.

 

Section
3.11 Correction of
Non-compliance.


  If the ARC determines that a
non-compliance exists, the Person responsible for such
non-compliance shall remedy or remove the same within the time
period set forth in the Guidelines or, if not set forth in the
Guidelines, then not more than forty-five (45) days from the date
of receipt of the notice of non-compliance. If such Person does not
comply with the ruling within such period, the ARC may, at its
option, record a notice of non-compliance against the Unit on which
the non-compliance exists, may impose fines, penalties and
interest, may remove the non-complying Improvement, or may
otherwise remedy the non-compliance, and the Person responsible for
such non-compliance shall reimburse the ARC, upon demand, for all
costs and expenses, as well as anticipated costs and expenses, with
respect thereto. This Section
3.11 does not prohibit
composting to the extent that it has been approved by the
ARC.

 

Section
3.12 Cooperation.


  The
ARC has the right and authority to enter into agreements and
otherwise cooperate with any architectural review or similar
committees, any metropolitan or other districts, or one or more
boards or committees that exercise architectural or design review
functions, or any other Person, in order to increase consistency or
coordination, reduce costs, or as may otherwise be deemed
appropriate or beneficial by the ARC. The costs and expenses for
all such matters, if any, shall be shared or apportioned between
such Persons and the ARC, as the ARC may determine. The foregoing
includes collection, payment, and disbursement of fees, charges,
and/or any other amounts.

Section
3.13 Access Easement.


  The Developer hereby reserves, and
each Owner hereby grants, to the ARC, the CAB, and the Person who
then has the authority to appoint the ARC, as provided in
Section 3.1 of these Covenants, including the agents,
employees and contractors of each such Person (including the ARC),
on, over, under and across the Units and each of them, excluding
any habitable structure and the interior of any residence thereon,
easements for performing any of the actions contemplated in the
Governing Documents, including inspections pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 3.9
of these Covenants and including
enforcement of each of the terms and provisions of the Governing
Documents. If damage is inflicted on any property or Unit, or a
strong likelihood exists that damage will be inflicted, then the
Person responsible for the damage or expense to avoid damage is
liable for the cost of prompt repair. The term “Person”
in the preceding sentence includes the ARC and the Person who then
has the authority to appoint the ARC, as provided in
Section 3.1 of these Covenants, if they are responsible for
such damage or expense to avoid damage. Further, the rights and
easements granted in this Section may be exercised only during
reasonable hours after reasonable notice to the Owner(s) or
occupant(s) of any affected Unit; except that no such notice is
required in connection with any exterior, non-intrusive inspections
and maintenance; and except that, in emergency situations, entry
upon a Unit may be made at any time, provided that the Owner(s) or
occupant(s) of each affected Unit is given notice of the emergency
entry as early as is reasonably possible. The interior of any
residence is not subject to the easements provided for in this
Section.

 

Section
3.14 No Liability.


  The
ARC, the Sky Ranch Districts and CAB, the Person who then has the
authority to appoint the ARC, as well as any representative or
committee appointed by the ARC, will not be liable in equity or
damages to any Person by reason of any action, failure to act,
approval (which may be with conditions and/or requirements),
disapproval, or failure to approve (which may be with conditions
and/or requirements) or disapprove, in regard to any matter. In
reviewing or approving any matter, the ARC is not responsible for
the safety, whether structural or otherwise, of the Improvements
submitted for review, nor the conformance with applicable building
codes or other governmental laws or regulations, nor compliance
with any other standards or regulations, and any approval (which
may be with conditions and/or requirements) of an Improvement by
the ARC does not constitute an approval of any such matters and
does not constitute a warranty by the ARC to any applicant of the
adequacy of design, workmanship or quality of such work or
materials for any applicants’ intended use. No Owner or other
Person will be a third party beneficiary of any obligation imposed
upon, rights accorded to, action taken by, or approval granted by,
the ARC.

 

Section
3.15 Variance.


  The ARC may grant reasonable variances
or adjustments from any conditions and restrictions imposed
by Error!
Reference source not found. of
these Covenants, or by the Guidelines, in order to overcome
practical difficulties or prevent unnecessary hardships arising by
reason of the application of any such conditions and restrictions.
Such variances or adjustments may be granted only in case the
granting thereof is not materially detrimental or injurious to the
other property or improvements in the neighborhood, and does not
militate against the general intent and purpose hereof. However,
any variance that may be granted under this Section is only a
variance from the requirements of the applicable Governing Document
for the individual applicant or Unit, and is not a variance from
the requirements of any applicable governmental or
quasi-governmental agency or entity. No granting of a variance or
adjustment to any one applicant/Owner constitutes a variance or
adjustment, or the right to a variance or adjustment, to any or all
other applicants, Owners or Units.

 


 




 

118








 






 

Section
3.16 Waivers; No Precedent.


  The
approval or consent of the ARC, or any representative or committee
thereof, to any application for approval does not constitute a
waiver of any right to withhold or deny approval or consent by such
Person, or any Person, as to any application or other matters
whatsoever, as to which approval or consent may subsequently or
additionally be required. Nor does any such approval or consent
constitute a precedent as to any other matter.

 

Section
3.17 Developer and Builder
Exemption.

 


3.17.1                      The
Developer is exempt from this Article and all provisions of the
Governing Documents that require ARC review or approval, except for
the requirement to obtain approval from all governmental entities
with jurisdiction thereover (as provided in subsection 0 of these
Covenants.

 


3.17.2                      As
long as, and to the extent that, a Builder has received written
architectural approval from the Developer for one or more matters,
such Builder is, as to Developer-approved Improvements, exempt from
this Article and all provisions of the Governing Documents that
require ARC review or approval of such matters, except for the
requirement to obtain approval from all governmental entities with
jurisdiction thereover (as provided in subsection 0 of these
Covenants).

 


ARTICLE

any other governmental or quasi-governmental entities, agencies or
authorities.

 

Section
4.3 Residential Use; Professional or Home
Occupation.


  Units
that consist of platted single-family lots may be used for

coupled with the responsibility for collecting and properly
disposing of any animal waste and to pay for all damage caused by
such pets.

 

Section
4.5 Temporary Structures; Unsightly
Conditions.


  Except
as hereinafter provided, no structure of a temporary character,
including a house trailer, tent, shack, storage shed, or

however, that during the actual construction, alteration, repair or
remodeling of a structure or other Improvements, necessary
temporary structures, offices and trailers for construction,
marketing, sales or storage of materials may be erected and
maintained by the Person doing such work. The work of constructing,
altering or remodeling any structure or other Improvements must be
prosecuted diligently from the commencement thereof until the
completion thereof. Further, no unsightly conditions, structures,
facilities, equipment or objects, may be so located on any Unit as
to be visible from a street or from any other Unit.

 

Section
4.6 Miscellaneous Improvements.

 


4.6.1                      No
advertising or signs of any character other than political signs,
may be erected, placed, permitted, or maintained on any Unit other
than a name plate of the occupant and a street number, and except
for a “For
Sale,” “Open
House,” “For
Rent,” or security sign of not more than five (5)
square feet in the aggregate; except that signs advertising garage
sales, block parties, or similar community events, may be permitted
if the same are in accordance with the Guidelines and applicable
laws or have been submitted to the ARC for review and written
approval (which may be with conditions and/or requirements), prior
to posting of such signs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any signs,
billboards or other advertising may be placed by the Developer or
by any Builder (with the prior, written approval of the Developer
if located on Developer owned property), without regard to the
foregoing or any limitations, requirements, specifications or other
provisions of the Governing Documents, the ARC, or the Sky Ranch
Districts or CAB, and without any approval of the foregoing (except
as stated earlier in this sentence).

 


4.6.2                      No
wood piles or storage areas, may be so located on any Unit as to be
visible from a street or from the ground level of any other
Unit.

 


4.6.3                      No
types of refrigerating, cooling or heating apparatus are permitted
on a roof, except as permitted by law, and then only with the
prior, written approval of the ARC. Further, no such apparatus is
permitted elsewhere on a Unit, other than on the ground, except
when appropriately screened and approved in writing by the
ARC.

 


4.6.4                      No
exterior radio antenna, television antenna, or other antenna,
satellite dish, or audio or visual reception device of any type may
be placed, erected or maintained on any Unit, except inside a
residence or otherwise concealed from view; provided, however, that
any such devices may be erected or installed by the Developer or by
any Builder during its sales or construction upon the Units; and
provided further, however, that the requirements of this subsection
do not apply to those “antenna” (including certain
satellite dishes) which are specifically covered by the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and/or applicable regulations, as
amended. As to “antenna” (including certain
satellite dishes) which are specifically covered by the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 and/or applicable regulations, as
amended, the ARC is empowered to adopt CCR Rules and Regulations
governing the types of “antenna” (including certain
satellite dishes) that are permissible hereunder and, to the extent
permitted by the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and/or applicable
regulations, as amended, establish reasonable, non-discriminatory
restrictions relating to appearance, safety, location, maintenance,
and other matters.

 


 




 

120








 






 


4.6.5                      No
fences, other than fences constructed or installed by the Developer
or a Builder (with the prior, written approval of the Developer),
are permitted, except with the prior, written approval (which may
be with conditions and/or requirements) of the ARC. Any fence(s)
constructed on a Unit shall be maintained, repaired and replaced by
the Owners of that Unit.

 


4.6.6                      The
ARC may not effectively prohibit renewable energy generation
devices or the installation or use of any energy efficient
measures, provided that the ARC may adopt reasonable aesthetic
rules and regulations concerning dimensions, placement or external
appearance of such devices or measures to the extent such rules and
regulations do not conflict with or violate applicable
laws.

 

Section
4.7 Vehicular Parking, Storage and
Repairs.

 


4.7.1                      Subject
to the Guidelines and/or the CCR Rules and Regulations (as
hereinafter defined), the garage area and driveway of each Unit
should first be fully used for the parking of vehicles before any
street parking is done. However, notwithstanding the foregoing,
street parking is not restricted by this Section.

 



4.7.2                      Commercial
vehicles, vehicles with commercial writing on their exteriors,
vehicles primarily used or designed for commercial purposes,
tractors, mobile homes, recreational vehicles, trailers (either
with or without wheels), campers, camper trailers, boats and other
watercraft, recreational vehicles, golf carts and boat trailers,
may only be parked in enclosed garages or specific areas, if any,
which may be designated by ARC. This restriction, however, does not
restrict trucks or commercial vehicles which are necessary for
construction or for the maintenance of any portion of the Property,
or any Improvements located thereon, and such restriction does not
prohibit vehicles that may be otherwise parked as a temporary
expedient for loading, delivery or emergency, or emergency service
vehicles. Stored vehicles and vehicles which are inoperable or do
not have current operating licenses are not be permitted on the
Property except within enclosed garages. For purposes of this
Section, the ARC may determine whether a vehicle is considered
“stored”. For
example, a vehicle may be considered to be “stored” if it is up on blocks or
covered with a tarpaulin and remains on blocks or so covered for
seventy-two (72) consecutive hours without the prior approval
(which may be with conditions and/or requirements) of the
ARC.

 



4.7.3                      No
activity, including maintenance, repair, rebuilding, dismantling,
repainting or servicing of any kind of vehicles, trailers or boats,
may be performed or conducted in the Property unless it is done
within completely enclosed structure(s) which screen the sight and
sound of the activity from the street and from adjoining property.
Any Owner or other Person undertaking any such activities will be
solely responsible for, and assumes all risks of, such activities,
including adoption and utilization of any and all necessary safety
measures, precautions and ventilation. However, the foregoing
restrictions do not prevent washing and polishing of any motor
vehicle, boat, trailer, motor-driven cycle, or other vehicle on a
Unit, together with those activities normally incident and
necessary to such washing and polishing.

 


 




 

121








 






 


4.7.4                      In
the event the ARC determines that a vehicle is parked or stored in
violation of subsections 0 or 0 hereof, then the ARC shall deliver
a written notice describing said vehicle to the owner thereof (if
such owner can be reasonably ascertained) or conspicuously place
such notice upon the vehicle (if the owner thereof cannot be
reasonably ascertained), and if the vehicle is not removed within a
reasonable time thereafter, as determined by the ARC, then the ARC

OUT OF, THE PERFORMANCE OF ANY MAINTENANCE, SERVICING, REBUILDING,
REPAIR, DISMANTLING, OR REPAINTING OF ANY TYPE OF VEHICLE, BOAT,
TRAILER, MACHINE OR DEVICE OF ANY KIND, BY ANY OWNER OR OTHER
PERSON.

 

Section
4.8 Nuisances.


  No
nuisance is permitted which is visible within or otherwise affects
any portion of the Property, nor any use, activity or practice
which interferes with the peaceful enjoyment or possession and
proper use of any Unit, or any portion thereof, by its residents.
As used herein, the term “nuisance” includes each
violation of the Governing Documents.

 

Section
4.9 No Hazardous Activities; No Hazardous Materials
or Chemicals.


 No
activities shall be conducted on any Unit which are unsafe or
hazardous to any person or property. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, no firearms shall be discharged upon
any Unit, and no open fires shall be lighted or permitted on any
Unit (except in a contained barbecue unit while attended and in use
for cooking purposes or within an interior fireplace or outdoor
fire pit powered by natural gas, propane or something similar).
Further, no hazardous materials or chemicals shall at any time be
located, kept or stored in, on or at any Unit, except such as may
be contained in household products normally kept at homes for use
of the residents thereof, and in such limited quantities so as not
to constitute a hazard or danger to person or
property.

located solely for the purpose of trash or recycling pickup. All
equipment for the storage or disposal of such materials shall be
kept in a clean and sanitary condition. No garbage or trash cans or
receptacles shall be maintained in an exposed or unsightly manner.
Finally, trash removal services may be subscribed to by the Sky
Ranch Districts or CAB on behalf of the residents of the Property
and, if so, the governing board of the Sky Ranch Districts or CAB
may determine the scope, frequency, and all other matters, with
regard to such trash removal services; and the Owners shall pay

Section
4.12 Trash Removal Services and
Recycling.


  Declarant
requires centralized trash removal and recycling services for the
Lots and/or Units, other than with respect to removal of
construction waste resulting from Declarant’s,
Declarant’s Affiliates’ or Builders’ respective
construction activities. Without limiting its authority, the CAB,
on behalf of the Sky Ranch Districts, may levy and collect fees,
charges, and other amounts to be imposed upon the Lots and/or Units
for such trash removal and recycling services; provided, however
that such fees, charges and other amounts must be derived from
within the applicable District boundaries where the trash removal
and recycling services are required or performed. The scope,
frequency, and all other matters with respect to such trash removal
and recycling services, shall be determined by the CAB. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the CAB may, for example,
as a part of establishing rules and regulations related to the
enforcement of the covenant to provide centralized trash removal
and recycling services, elect to provide for regularly scheduled
trash pick-ups and recycling, but may require each Owner to be
responsible for scheduling, and paying for, any extraordinary trash
pick-ups and/or other recycling and may limit the items eligible
for trash pick-up and/or recycling from time to time. In the event
that the CAB does not administer trash removal and/or recycling
services for the Property, one or more of the Districts shall
enforce this covenant by coordinating the centralized trash removal
and recycling services for the Lots and/or Units, including,
without limitation, the levy and collection of fees, charges, and
other amounts to be imposed upon the Lots and/or Units for such
trash removal and recycling services; provided, however that such
fees, charges and other amounts must be derived from within the
applicable District boundaries where the trash removal and
recycling services are required or performed.

 

Section
4.13 Units to be Maintained.


  Subject to Section 4.5 hereof, each Unit (including adjacent tree lawn
areas) shall at all times be maintained, repaired and replaced in a
good, clean and sightly condition by the Owners of such
Unit.

 

Section
4.14 Leases.


  The term “lease,” as used herein, includes any agreement
for the leasing or rental of a Unit, or any portion thereof, and
shall specifically include month-to-month rentals and subleases.
Any Owner has the right to lease his Unit, or any portion thereof,
as long as all leases provide that the terms of the lease and
lessee’s occupancy of the leased premises are subject in all
respects to the Governing Documents; and that any failure by the
lessee to comply with any of the aforesaid documents, in any
respect, constitutes a default under the lease.

 

Section
4.15 Landscaping.


  Within the time frames as hereinafter
provided, subject to applicable “force
majeure” delays as
determined by the ARC, the Owner of each Unit (other than Developer
or a Builder) shall install landscaping on all portions of the Unit
which is not covered by a building or Improvement, as well as on
the tree lawn areas adjacent to such Unit in accordance with the
Governing Documents and the requirements of the applicable
governmental entity having jurisdiction. The Owner of each Unit
(other than Developer or a Builder) shall install landscaping on
such Unit, and on adjacent tree lawn areas, within the time period
set forth in the Guidelines or, if not set forth in the guidelines,
then one hundred (180) days after acquisition of such Unit by such
Owner, if said acquisition occurs between April 1 and July 31, or;
by the following July 31 if such acquisition does not occur between
such dates, then such Owner shall install such landscaping.
Landscaping plans must be submitted to the ARC for review and
approval (which may be with conditions and/or requirements), and
such approval must be obtained prior to the installation of
landscaping, in accordance with Article 3 of
these Covenants. Each Owner shall maintain all landscaping on such
Owner’s Unit, and on adjacent tree lawn areas, in a neat and
attractive condition, including periodic and horticulturally
correct pruning, removal of weeds and debris, and replacement of
landscaping.

Section
4.16 Grade and Drainage; Irrigation Recommendations;
Drainage Easement; Maintenance of Surface Drainage Improvements and
Underdrains.

 


4.16.1                      Each
Owner shall maintain the grading upon his Unit, and grading around
the building foundation, at the slope and pitch fixed by the final
grading thereof, so as to maintain the established drainage. Each
Owner agrees that he will not in any way interfere with the
established drainage pattern over his Unit. In the event that it is
necessary or desirable to change the established drainage over any
Unit, then the Owner thereof shall submit a plan to the ARC for
review and approval (which may be with conditions and/or
requirements), in accordance with Article 3 of these Covenants, and
any such change shall also be made in accordance with all laws,
regulations, requirements and resolutions of all applicable
governmental entities. For purposes of this Section,
“established
drainage” is defined as the drainage which exists at
the time final grading of a Unit by the Developer, or by a Builder,
is completed.


4.16.2                      The
Owner of a Unit should not plant flower beds (especially annuals),
vegetable gardens and other landscaping which requires regular
watering, within five (5) feet of the foundation of the dwelling
unit or any slab on the Unit. If evergreen shrubbery is located
within five (5) feet of any foundation wall or slab, then the Owner
of the Unit should water such shrubbery by “controlled hand-watering,” and
should avoid excessive watering. Further, piping and heads for
sprinkler systems should not be installed within five (5) feet of
foundation walls and slabs.

 


4.16.3                      Developer
reserves to itself and to the Sky Ranch Districts and CAB the right
to enter in and upon each rear, front and side yard drainage
easements of record, at any time, to construct, repair, replace or
change drainage pipes, structures or drainage ways, or to perform
such grading, drainage or corrective work as Developer or the Sky
Ranch Districts or CAB may determine.

terminated.


 

(e) Each Party shall
bear its own costs of the mediation, including attorneys’
fees, and each Party shall share equally all charges rendered by

(f) If the Parties
agree to a resolution of any Claim through negotiation or mediation
in accordance with subsection 0 and any Party thereafter fails to
abide by the terms of such agreement, then any other Party may file
suit or initiate arbitration proceedings to enforce such agreement
without the need to again comply with the procedures set forth in
Section 5.5 hereof. In such event, the Party taking action to

Claimant shall thereafter be entitled to initiate final, binding
arbitration of the Claim under the auspices of JAG, in accordance
with the then-current rules of JAG in effect as of the date of the
Notice provided in accordance in subsection 0 of these Covenants
(or such other reputable arbitration service and its rules as
acceptable to the parties). Any judgment upon the award rendered by
the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having
jurisdiction over such Claim. Unless otherwise mutually agreed to
by the Parties, there will be one arbitrator who must have
expertise in the area(s) of dispute, which may include legal
expertise if legal issues are involved.

the arbitrator’s and administrative fees of arbitration.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Party unsuccessfully contests
the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law, reasonable
attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in defending such
contests, including those incurred in trial and on appeal, shall be
awarded to the non-contesting Party. All decisions respecting the
arbitrability of any Claim shall be decided by the
arbitrator.


 


5.6.3                      The
award of the arbitrator shall be accompanied by detailed written
findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be required
by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a Party nor an
arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any
arbitration without the prior written consent of all
Parties.





 



ARTICLE 6


GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section
6.1 Rules and Regulations.


  Any rules and regulations, if any,
concerning and governing the Property, may
be promulgated, adopted, enacted, modified, amended, repealed, and
re-enacted by the governing board of the Sky Ranch Districts or CAB
(“CCR Rules and
Regulations”) and such
actions shall not be construed as an amendment to these Covenants
requiring processing under Section 6.6,
hereof. The CCR Rules and Regulations, if any, may state procedural
requirements, interpretations, clarifications and applications of
any provision(s) of these Covenants or the Guidelines and law, and
may include blanket requirements, blanket interpretations, and
blanket applications. The governing board of the Sky Ranch
Districts or CAB has the authority to adopt or vary one or more CCR
Rules and Regulations that are different for different types of
Units, if any. Any CCR Rules and Regulations, if any, that are
adopted must be in accordance with, and must not be inconsistent
with or contrary to, these Covenants.

 

Section
6.2 Enforcement.

 


6.2.1                      Enforcement
of the covenants, conditions, restrictions, easements,
reservations, rights-of-way, liens, charges and other provisions
contained in these Covenants, as amended, may be by any proceeding
at law or in equity against any Person(s) violating or attempting
to violate any such provision, and possible remedies include all of
those available at law or in equity, but Claims subject to Article
5 will be subject to the alternative dispute resolution procedures
set forth in Article 5. The Developer, the Sky Ranch Districts or
CAB, ARC and any aggrieved Owner, has the right, but not the duty,
to institute, maintain and prosecute any such proceedings. No
remedy is exclusive of other remedies that may be available. Except
as otherwise provided in Article 5 of these Covenants, in any
action instituted or maintained under these Covenants or any other
such documents, the prevailing party shall be awarded its costs and
attorney fees incurred in asserting or defending the claim, as well
as any and all other sums; except that, any Person who brings an
action against the Developer, any Builder, the Sky Ranch Districts
or CAB, or the ARC, regarding enforcement, or non-enforcement, of
any provision(s) of the Governing Documents, shall not be awarded
their costs or any attorney fees. Failure by the Developer, the Sky
Ranch Districts or CAB, the ARC or any Owner, to enforce any
covenant, restriction or other provision contained in these
Covenants, shall in no event give rise to any liability, nor shall
such non-enforcement be deemed a waiver of the right to thereafter
enforce any covenant, restriction or other provision of these
Covenants, regardless of the number of violations or breaches that
may occur.


 




 

128








 






 


6.2.2                      The
foregoing includes the right of the Sky Ranch Districts or CAB, to
send demand letters and notices, to charge interest and/or late
charges, to levy and collect fines, to impose liens (as provided in
C.R.S. Section 32-1-1001(j)(1), as amended), to negotiate, settle
and/or take any other actions, with respect to any violation(s), or
alleged violation(s), of any of the Governing
Documents.


 

Section
6.3 Severability.


 All
provisions of these Covenants are severable. Invalidation of any of
the provisions by judgment, court order or otherwise, shall in no
way affect or limit any other provisions, which shall remain in
full force and effect.

 

Section
6.4 Rights and Easements of Developer and
Builders.


 Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Governing Documents, it
is expressly permissible and proper for Developer and each Builder,
and their respective employees, agents, and contractors, to perform
all activities, and maintain Improvements, tools, equipment, and
facilities, on the portion of the Property owned by them and also
on public property, incidental to development, construction, use,
rental, sale, occupancy, and/or advertising. The foregoing includes
locating, maintaining and relocating management offices,
construction offices, signs, model units and sales offices, in such
numbers, of such sizes, and at such locations on the portion of the
Property owned by them and also on public property, as determined
by the Developer or applicable Builder. In addition, nothing
contained in these Covenants limits the rights of Developer, or
require the Developer, to obtain approvals:

 


 


6.4.1                      to
excavate, cut, fill or grade any property (with the consent of the
Owner thereof), or to construct, alter, demolish or replace any
Improvements;


 


6.4.2                      to
use any Improvements on any property (with the consent of the Owner
thereof) as a construction, management, model home or sales or
leasing office, in connection with the development, construction or
sale of any property; and/or


 


6.4.3                      to
seek or obtain any approvals under these Covenants for any such
activity.


 

Section
6.5 Conflict of Provisions.


  In
the case of any conflict between any of the Governing Documents,
these Covenants control.

 

Section
6.6 Duration, Revocation and
Amendment.


 

 


6.6.1                      Each
and every provision of these Covenants run with and bind the
Property perpetually from the date of recording of these Covenants.
Subject to subsection 0 of these Covenants, these Covenants may be
amended, supplemented and/or terminated, by the affirmative vote or
agreement of the Owners of sixty-seven percent (67%) of the Units,
but the Sky Ranch Districts or CAB shall not be required to comply
with or enforce any Owner-adopted amendments, supplements or
termination, until such time as the governing board of the Sky
Ranch Districts or CAB receives a recorded copy of such amendment,
supplement and/or termination.


 




 

129








 






 



6.6.2                      Until
all of the Units have been conveyed to the first Owners thereof
other than the Developer or a Builder, no amendment, supplement or
termination of these Covenants shall be effective, without the
prior written approval of the Developer, which may be with
conditions and/or requirements. This subsection 0 will remain in
effect until conveyance of all the Units to the first Owners
thereof, other than the Developer or any Builder.


6.6.3                      These
Covenants may be amended, in whole or in part, by the Developer
without the consent or approval of any other Owner, the Sky Ranch
Districts or CAB, or any other Person, in order to comply with the
requirements, standards, or guidelines of any recognized secondary
mortgage markets, including the department of housing and urban
development, the federal housing administration, the veterans
administration, the federal home loan mortgage corporation, the
government national mortgage association, and the federal national
mortgage association. This subsection 0 will remain in effect until
conveyance of all the Units to the first Owners thereof, other than
the Developer or any Builder.


 



6.6.4                      These
Covenants may be amended, in whole or in part, by the Developer
without the consent or approval of any other Owner, any Builder,
the Sky Ranch Districts or CAB, or any other Person, in order to
correct any clerical, typographical, technical or other errors in
these Covenants and/or to clarify any provision(s) of these
Covenants. This subsection 0 will remain in effect until conveyance
of all the Units to the first Owners thereof, other than the
Developer or any Builder.


 



6.6.5                      Each
Amendment to this Declaration enacted by the vote or agreement of
Owners of Units shall be applicable only to disputes, issues,
controversies, circumstances, events, claims or causes of action
that arose out of acts, omissions, events or other circumstances
that occurred after the date of recording of such amendment in the
real property records of the County, and no such amendment shall be
applied retroactively (i) to any disputes, issues, controversies,
circumstances, events, claims or causes of action that arose out of
acts, omissions, events or other circumstances that occurred before
the date of recording of such amendment in the County, or (ii) to
impair the rights or obligations of any Person, including
Developer, as originally set forth in these Covenants. This
subsection 0 may not be amended without the written consent of the
Developer.

 

Section
6.7 Minor Violations of Setback
Restrictions.


  If upon the erection of any structure,
it is disclosed by survey that a minor violation or infringement of
setback lines has occurred, the Owners of each Unit immediately
adjoining the structure which is in violation of the setback waive
such violation or infringement and such waiver shall be binding
upon all other Owners. However, nothing contained in this Section
prevents the prosecution of a suit for any other violation of these
Covenants or the Guidelines, if any. A “minor
violation,” for the
purpose of this Section, is a violation of not more than two (2)
feet beyond the required setback lines or Unit lines. This
provision applies only to the original structures and is not
applicable to any alterations or repairs to, or replacements of,
any of such structures.

 


 




 

130








 






 

Section
6.8 Subdivision or Replatting of
Units.


  The Developer reserves the right to
subdivide or replat any Unit(s) owned by the Developer. Each such
subdivision or replatting may change the number of Units in the
Property. The foregoing reservation includes the right to move any
lot line(s) on Unit(s) for the purpose of accommodating
Improvements which are, or may be constructed. This
Section 6.8 will remain in effect until conveyance of all the
Units to the first Owners thereof, other than the Developer or any
Builder.

 

Section
6.9 Annexation.


  The Developer may annex to the
Property additional real estate (including Improvements), including
any real estate (including Improvements) which may previously have
been withdrawn from the Property. Each such annexation, if any,
shall be accomplished by recording, in the office of the Clerk and
Recorder of the County, of an annexation document that expressly
states that the real estate (including Improvements) described
therein is annexed and made subject to these Covenants and all
terms and provisions hereof. However, any such annexation may
include provisions which, as to the real estate (including
Improvements) described therein, adds to or changes the rights,
responsibilities and other requirements of these Covenants. Any
such additional or changed provisions may be amended, supplemented,
and/or terminated, with the consent of the Owners of 67% of the

other than the Developer or any Builder.

  The Developer reserves the right to
withdraw the Property, or any portion thereof, including one or
more Units, from these Covenants, so long as the Developer owns the
portion of the Property to be withdrawn. Each withdrawal, if any,
may be effected by the Developer recording a withdrawal document in
the office of the Clerk and Recorder of the County. A withdrawal as
contained in this paragraph constitutes a divestiture, withdrawal,
and de-annexation of the withdrawn real estate (including
Improvements) from these Covenants so that, from and after the date
of recording a withdrawal document, the real estate (including
Improvements) so withdrawn is not a part of the
“Property”. This Section

until conveyance of all the Units to the first Owners thereof,
other than the Developer or any Builder.

  The Developer, any Builder, the Sky
Ranch Districts or CAB, the ARC, and their respective directors,
officers, shareholders, members, partners, agents and employees,
are not liable to any Person for any action or for any failure to
act arising out of any of the Governing Documents, unless the
action or failure to act was not in good faith and was done or
withheld with malice. Further, the Sky Ranch Districts and CAB do
not waive, and no provision of these Covenants constitutes a waiver
of, the immunities and limitations to which the Sky Ranch Districts
and CAB are entitled as a matter of law, including the Colorado
Governmental Immunity Act, §24-10-101,

amount of fees collected to be remitted to the Bond Trustee, to the
District.

 


E.           The
Declarant under this PIF Covenant owns fee title to all of the
Property, which is the property that is subject to this PIF
Covenant.

 


F.           The
Declarant intends to assign its declarant rights, as fee simple
owner of the


Property subject to
this PIF Covenant to the District in accordance with the terms and

rights and perform the obligations of the Declarant
hereunder.

Sales” (“PIF Sales
Guidelines”) for purposes of calculating the Retail

guidelines may not change the definition of PIF Sales or waive the
Retail Public Improvement Fee collection. Such guidelines shall be
delivered to all Retailers in writing (and for purposes of
determining the names and addresses of Retailers, any Owner will,
within ten (10) business days after receipt of a written request
therefor from the District, the Trustee or the PIF Collection
Agent, provide such requesting party with the name and address of
all Retailers that then occupy any PIF Property owned by such

to all sales and use taxes that may be imposed and otherwise not
waived or credited by any other applicable taxing

5. Payment of Public Improvement
Fee.

 



(a)           

Retail Public Improvement Fee.
Whether or not collected from customers, each Retailer shall pay
the Retail Public Improvement Fee monthly in arrears for all PIF
Sales initiated, consummated, conducted, transacted or otherwise
occurring during the immediately preceding month from or within the
portion of the PIF Property occupied by such Retailer during such
month. The Retail Public Improvement Fee shall be due and payable
without notice within twenty (20) days after the close of each
calendar month, and unless the District in its sole discretion
otherwise directs, each Retailer shall pay the same directly to the
PIF Collection Agent on behalf of the District or its assignee. The
procedures for reporting, assessment, collection, and segregation
of the Retail Public Improvement Fee (but not for calculation)
shall be identical in all material respects to those set forth in
Colorado law regarding the reporting, assessment, collection and
segregation of State sales tax, and each Retailer shall report PIF
Sales and remit the Retail Public Improvement Fee to the PIF
Collection Agent on a monthly basis when such Retailer reports and
remits sales taxes to the State, employing reporting forms and
following procedures provided by the State intended to be
substantially similar to those used and required by the State for
the remittance of Sales Tax. The Retail Public Improvement Fee
shall be calculated and imposed on transactions at the rate stated
above (in the definition of Public Improvement Fee) prior to the
calculation and assessment of the Sales Tax, and before any sales
taxes of any other taxing entity required to be imposed by law. The
Retail Public Improvement Fee shall be added to the sales price for
transactions subject to sales tax prior to the calculation of sales
taxes. The Sales Tax and sales taxes of other taxing entities shall
be calculated and assessed on the sum of the PIF Sales price plus
the amount of the Retail Public Improvement Fee. Specific
instructions regarding reporting forms and payment procedures shall
be provided to all Retailers by the District, and each Retailer
shall be entitled to rely thereon for purposes of compliance with
this Section 5(a). Declarant hereby acknowledges, any other Owner,
by acquiring fee title to any portion of the PIF Property subject
to this PIF Covenant, shall be deemed to have acknowledged, any
Occupant, by acquiring the right to possess or occupy any portion
of the PIF Property subject to this PIF Covenant, shall be deemed
to have acknowledged, and each Owner and Occupant shall cause any
Retailer whom such Owner or Occupant permits to possess or occupy
(by lease or otherwise) any portion-of its Owned/Leased PIF
Property, to acknowledge, prior to conducting any business at any
PIF Property, (i) THAT THE RETAIL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE IS
NOT A TAX IN ANY FORM AND IS A FEE IMPOSED UNDER PRIVATE COVENANT
AND NOT THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF ANY GOVERNMENTAL TAXING AUTHORITY;
(ii) THAT THE RETAIL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE REVENUES ARE NOT
TAX REVENUES IN ANY FORM AND THE RETAIL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE
SHALL NOT BE ENFORCEABLE BY THE ANY OTHER GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR
QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY, OTHER THAN THE DISTRICT (EXCEPT WHERE
THE GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY IS THE PIF COLLECTION AGENT AND IS ACTING
IN SUCH CAPACITY UNDER THIS PIF COVENANT OR EXCEPT BY JUDICIAL
ENFORCEMENT PURSUANT TO AN ENFORCEMENT ACTION BROUGHT BY A PERSON
AUTHORIZED TO ENFORCE THIS PIF COVENANT); AND (iii) THAT THE
AUTHORITY OF THE DISTRICT AND/OR PIF COLLECTION AGENT TO RECEIVE
THE RETAIL PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE IS DERIVED THROUGH THIS PIF
COVENANT. In the event the District or the Bond Trustee ceases to
be the PIF Collection Agent for the Public Improvement Fee (as
further described in Section 10 below), the District shall promptly
notify each Retailer of the same and provide appropriate direction
for payment and reporting of the Retail Public Improvement Fee
thereafter. For purposes of compliance with this Section 5, each
Retailer shall be entitled to rely upon written notice from the
District and, in such event, upon specific instructions regarding
reporting forms and payment procedures for the Retail Public
Improvement Fee provided in writing to such Retailer by the
District.

(b)           Material
Sales and Use Public Improvement Fee. Each PIF Obligor shall
pay the Material Sales and Use Public Improvement Fee. The Material
Sales and Use Public Improvement Fee owed by a PIF Obligor for any
Construction Activities shall be due and payable prior to or at the
time of such PIF Obligor obtaining a building permit from the
County for such Construction Activities, and in no event shall any
Construction Activities be commenced by or on behalf of any PIF
Obligor prior to the payment of the Material Sales and Use Public
Improvement Fee owed with respect to such Construction Activities.
Each PIF Obligor shall pay the Public Improvement Fee owed with
respect to Construction Activities to the PIF Collection Agent on
behalf of the District or its assignee. With the consent of the
County, the procedures for collection of any or all of the PIF
Revenues owed by a PIF Obligor for any Construction Activities may
be coordinated with the building permit process administered by the
County. The District may implement procedures applicable to all
proposed development and Construction Activities within the PIF
Property or any portion thereof pursuant to which PIF Obligors are
required to demonstrate payment of the Material Sales and Use
Public Improvement Fee with respect to any planned Construction
Activities as a precondition to commencing such Construction
Activities. Each PIF Obligor shall deliver to the PIF Collection
Agent a true and complete MSU Report relating to the applicable
Construction Activities and the PIF Collection Agent is expressly
authorized to deliver such MSU Report to the District and, at the
express written direction of the District, to the Bond Trustee or
other entity. Each PIF Obligor shall be under a continuing duty to
make such adjustments, additions, modifications or supplements to
the MSU Report as may be necessary to correct any mistake in a
previously delivered Report or to otherwise cause such MSU Report
to accurately reflect the Construction Valuation Amount for the
applicable Construction Activities and such other information
contained therein, and to deliver such adjustments, additions,
modifications or supplements to the MSU Report to the PIF
Collection Agent for distribution to the District. If any such
adjustment increases the amount of the Material Sales and Use
Public Improvement Fee that a PIF Obligor is required to remit or
pay, such PIF Obligor shall immediately pay such additional
Material Sales and Use Public Improvement Fee in the amount due to
the PIF Collection Agent. District hereby acknowledges, any Owner,
by acquiring fee title to any portion of the PIF Property subject
to this PIF Covenant, shall be deemed to have acknowledged, any
other Occupant, by acquiring the right to possess or occupy any
portion of the PIF Property subject to this PIF Covenant, shall be
deemed to have acknowledged (i) THAT THE MATERIAL SALES AND
USE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE IS NOT A TAX IN ANY FORM AND IS A FEE
IMPOSED UNDER PRIVATE COVENANT AND NOT THROUGH THE EXERCISE OF ANY
GOVERNMENTAL TAXING AUTHORITY; (ii) THAT THE MATERIAL SALES
AND USE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE REVENUES ARE NOT TAX REVENUES IN ANY
FORM AND THE MATERIAL SALES AND USE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE SHALL
NOT BE ENFORCEABLE BY ANY GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY OR QUASI-GOVERNMENTAL
ENTITY, OTHER THAN THE DISTRICT (EXCEPT WHERE THE GOVERNMENTAL
ENTITY IS THE PIF COLLECTION AGENT AND IS ACTING IN SUCH CAPACITY
UNDER THIS PIF COVENANT OR EXCEPT BY JUDICIAL ENFORCEMENT PURSUANT
TO AN ENFORCEMENT ACTION BROUGHT BY A PERSON AUTHORIZED TO ENFORCE
THIS PIF COVENANT); AND (iii) THAT THE AUTHORITY OF THE
DISTRICT AND/OR PIF COLLECTION AGENT TO RECEIVE THE MATERIAL SALES
AND USE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENT FEE IS DERIVED THROUGH THIS PIF
COVENANT.

records and declarations, including any supplements or amendments
thereto (collectively the “Reports”) made or provided to the

respect to Sales Taxes or the Retail Public Improvement Fee, such
Retailer shall provide the Report Recipients with true and complete
copies of all revised Reports or other written material issued or
received by such Retailer in regard thereto. If any such adjustment
increases the amount of the Retail Public Improvement Fee which a
Retailer is required to remit or pay, or results in a refund of
such Retail Public Improvement Fee, such Retailer shall immediately
pay such additional Retail Public Improvement Fee in the amount
due, or shall receive an appropriate credit against the next retail
Public Improvement Fee due from such Retailer in the amount of such
excess Retail Public Improvement Fee. Such Retailer shall claim
such credits or pay such additional retail Public Improvement Fee
in the next monthly reporting period by use of the standard
reporting and remittance forms. All Reports made or provided by a
Retailer shall be maintained by such Retailer for at least three
years from the date of submission thereof to the State of Colorado,
and upon written request, shall be made available to the Report
Recipients for inspection and audit. Subject to Section 7 below,
Reports received by any Declarant, the District or the Bond Trustee
shall remain confidential and be used only for purposes of
collecting the Retail Public Improvement Fee due, enforcing
Retailers’ obligations hereunder, and otherwise monitoring

7. Audits and Release of Information by
the PIF Collection Agent. By acquiring its possessory
interest in and to its Owned/Leased PIF Property subject to the

Dissemination Agent for distribution to the holders of any Bonds

Confidential Information, together with the contents thereof, shall
be kept strictly confidential and shall not be disclosed or
otherwise published by any person to whom the District, the Bond
Trustee, or successor PIF Collection Agent so releases Confidential
Information, except for such disclosures or publications as may be
required by applicable laws. Without limiting the foregoing
confidentiality and non-disclosure requirements, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable laws, any publication or

Dissemination Agent (or by anyone else to whom the District, the
Bond Trustee or the successor PIF Collection Agent is required by
law to disclose Confidential Information) which is otherwise

Retailer shall comply with all policies and requirements of the
District regarding notification to customers of the assessment and
collection of the Public Improvement Fee as such policies and
requirements are communicated by the District to such Retailer in
writing from time to time. The failure or refusal of any Retailer
to assess, collect or remit the Public Improvement Fee, or to
comply with the requirements concerning notification to customers
as required in this PIF Covenant, shall constitute a default by
such Retailer under the terms of this PIF Covenant. The failure or
refusal of any PIF Obligor to remit the Material Sales and Use
Public Improvement Fee shall constitute a default by such PIF
Obligor under the terms of this PIF Covenant. THE DISTRICT, THE

THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES OF THE RETAILERS’ AND PIF
OBLIGORS’ OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS PIF COVENANT, INCLUDING, BUT

COVENANT; AND THAT NO DEFAULT BY A RETAILER’S LANDLORD UNDER
ANY PROVISION OF THE LEASE OR OTHER OCCUPANCY AGREEMENT PURSUANT TO

Improvement Fee not paid when due hereunder shall bear interest at
the Default Rate, and the defaulting Retailer or PIF Obligor shall
bear all costs of enforcement and collection thereof, including
reasonable attorney’s fees. In addition, if a Retailer or PIF
Obligor fails to pay any Public Improvement Fee when due and such
failure continues for more than 10 days after notice thereof is
given to such Retailer or PIF Obligor by the PIF Collection Agent,
the PIF Collection Agent may charge such Retailer or PIF Obligor,
and such Retailer or PIF Obligor shall be obligated to pay the PIF
Collection Agent, a late charge in an amount equal to the greater
of 10% of the delinquent Public Improvement Fee or $100.00. So long
as the District or the Bond Trustee is the PIF Collection Agent,
the District or the Bond Trustee shall have the right to take any
lawful action to the collect the Public Improvement Fee.

right to enforce the provisions of this PIF Covenant against any
Retailer or PIF Obligor that fails to abide by any of the terms and
conditions of this PIF Covenant. An Enforcing Party shall be

the obligations of such Retailer or PIF Obligor under this PIF
Covenant in any legal
proceedings brought (or defended) by such Enforcing

17. Covenants Run with the Land.
The covenants, agreements, promises and duties as set forth in this
PIF Covenant shall be construed as covenants and not as conditions

the respective covenantee. Each covenant to do or refrain from

benefited portions of the PIF Property, and (iii) shall be
binding upon of each Owner, Occupant and Retailer and each

judgment or court order, will in no way affect any of the other
provisions of this PIF Covenant or the application thereof to any
other person or entity or circumstance and the remainder of this
PIF Covenant shall remain in effect; provided, however, that in the
event such invalidation would render the remaining portions of this
PIF Covenant ineffective to carry out the material intentions of
Declarant as expressed or implied by this PIF Covenant, then the
objectionable provisions) hereof shall be construed, and this PIF
Covenant shall be deemed amended, as if such provision were
replaced with an enforceable provision which effectuates, as nearly

156








 






 

25.3 Contracts.
Developer and contractors of Developer shall contract for all of
the work and materials related to the design and construction of
the applicable Improvements. Developer shall bid, pursue,
negotiate, agree to and execute contracts and agreements with
Service Providers for the work and materials comprising the
Improvements (each a “Contract”
and collectively, the “Contracts”),
based upon forms that Developer deems necessary or appropriate in
its commercially reasonable discretion; provided, however, that
Developer shall deliver written notice to the Builders after it
enters into any Contract, which notice shall identify the Service
Provider(s). Developer shall use good faith efforts to cause each
Contract, in addition to other matters, to (i) allow for the
automatic assignment, without need for further action, of all of
Developer’s rights (including, without limitation, the
warranty and indemnity provisions thereof) to a Builder on a
non-exclusive basis in the event of replacement of Developer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and identify the Builders
as intended third-party beneficiaries of the Contract,
(ii) require the Service Providers to provide a warranty on
materials and labor supplied by such Service Provider for a period
coterminous with any warranty period required by the applicable

Approving Authority, but in no event less than one (1) year for any
Improvement, (iii) require the Service Provider to perform its work
in accordance with the Construction Standard, (iv) require the
Service Provider to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Developer
from all claims and causes of action arising from the negligent
acts or omissions or intentional misconduct of the Service Provider
providing construction services or its employees or agents, (v)
permit retainage in an amount of at least five percent (5%) of the
amounts payable to the Service Provider, until the work to be
completed pursuant to such Contract has been substantially
completed and, if applicable, granted initial acceptance by the
applicable Approving Authority; (vi) provide the Developer the
right, but not the obligation, to pay subcontractors and suppliers
of the Service Provider directly or by joint check, and (vii)
provide for no limitation on remedies against the Service Provider
for a default to the extent customary, except the prohibition of
recovery of punitive damages. Upon receipt of written request from
a Builder, Developer shall deliver a copy of each Contract to such
Builder.

 

25.4 Construction
Schedule. Developer shall cause construction of the
Improvements to be completed as follows:

 

25.4.1 Completion.
The Improvements will be completed in two phases (each a
“Phase”)
consisting of the construction of the Improvements applicable to
the Central Park (as identified on the Concept Plan) during the
first Phase (the “Phase 1 Park
Improvements”) and the construction of the
Improvements applicable to the North Park and the South Park (as
identified on the Concept Plan) during the second Phase (the
“Phase 2 Park
Improvements”). Developer shall cause Substantial
Completion of each component of the Phase 1 Park Improvements to
occur on the date that is ninety (90) days after substantial
completion of the Builder Lots that are designated as Takedown 1 as
depicted on the Concept Plan, provided, however, if such date for
completion would require landscape installation between the during
the months of October through April of any year, landscape
installation may be delayed until May 31 of such year (the
“Phase 1 Substantial
Completion Date”), and cause Substantial Completion of
the Phase 2 Park Improvements to occur on or before the date that
is one (1) year after the Phase 1 Substantial Completion Date
(referred to collectively as the “Substantial
Completion Dates”); provided, however, subject to
Section 3.4.2
below. Developer may cause the Improvements to be constructed and
installed as Developer deems necessary, in the Developer’s
commercially reasonable discretion, to coordinate such Improvements
with the development of other portions of the Development.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Developer shall have
no obligation to install landscaping during the months of October
through April.

 


 




 

157








 






 

25.4.2 Force
Majeure. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this
Agreement, the Substantial Completion Dates and the time for
performance of Developer’s other obligations under this
Agreement shall be extended by a period of time equal to any period
that such performance or progress in construction of the
Improvements is delayed due to any Dispute, as defined below, acts
or failure to act of any Approving Authority, strike, riot, act of
war, act of terrorism, act of violence, weather, act of God, or any
other act, occurrence or non-occurrence beyond Developer’s
reasonable control (each,
an “Force Majeure
Delay”). Within thirty (30) days after the cessation
of the occurrence of a Force Majeure Delay, PCY will give notice
thereof specifying the cause of the Force Majeure Delay and the
number of days of the occurrence.

 

25.5 Substantial
Completion.

 

25.5.1 Definition
of Substantial Completion. “Substantial
Completion” of the Improvements (or applicable
component thereof) shall be deemed to have occurred when all of the
following have occurred with respect to the Improvements (or
applicable component thereof):

 

(a) Developer has
substantially completed or corrected all punchlist items provided
by the Approving Authorities affecting the Improvements (or
applicable component thereof) in accordance with Section 3.5.2
below;

 

(b) Subject to
Section 3.5.1(c)
below, the Improvements (or applicable component thereof) have been
installed pursuant to the Construction Standard;

 

(c) Any Improvements
(or applicable component thereof) that are intended to be dedicated
to or accepted by an Approving Authority shall have been inspected
and preliminarily accepted by the applicable Approving Authority
(subject to the Government Warranty Period (as defined
below); 

 

(d) No mechanics’
or materialmen’s liens shall have then been filed with
respect to the Improvements and lien waivers have been obtained
from the Service Providers that constructed the Improvements (or
applicable portion thereof), or the Developer has obtained a bond
to insure over any such mechanics’ or materialmen’s
liens.

 

25.5.2 Notice
to Builders. Developer shall notify the Builders in writing
when Substantial Completion of the Improvements (or applicable
component thereof) has been achieved, except for minor punch-list
work and the date(s) and time(s) the Approving Authorities, if any,
will inspect such Improvements (or applicable component thereof).
Within ten (10) days after receipt by Builder of such notice from
the Developer, Developer and Builders shall jointly inspect the
Improvements (or applicable component thereof) and produce a
punchlist (“Builders
Punchlist”). The Builders Punchlist may not contain
any items other than incomplete Improvements or components thereof,
deficient or defective construction of the Improvements or
components thereof, or failure to construct the Improvements or
components thereof in accordance with the plans approved by the
applicable Approving Authorities. Builders shall not be able to
object or provide Builders Punchlist items for any portion of the
Improvements previously inspected by the Builders, except in the
case of construction defects. If the Parties are unable to agree
upon a Builders Punchlist within five (5) days after the joint
inspection described above, then any dispute related to such
punchlist shall be submitted to the expedited dispute resolution
procedures in accordance with Section 6 below. Developer will
attempt to provide Builders with copies of any inspection reports
or punchlists received from the Approving Authorities in connection
with the inspection of the Improvements, and Developer shall be
responsible to correct punchlist items from the Approving Authority
and items set forth on the Builders Punchlist. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary including any Builders Punchlist, if an
Approving Authority grants preliminary approval or construction
acceptance to any of the Improvements, then it shall conclusively
be presumed that such Improvement or work was completed in
accordance with the plans approved by the Approving Authorities,
subject to completion of the punchlist items provided by the
Approving Authority. If an item is not identified as incomplete on
the Builders Punchlist, then it shall be presumed that such
Improvement was completed in accordance with the plans approved by
the Approving Authorities. Disputes regarding Builders Punchlist
items and matters will be resolved pursuant to the expedited
dispute resolution procedures set forth in Section 6 of this
Agreement.

 


 




 

158








 






 

25.5.3 Correction
of Punchlist Items. Developer shall cause any punchlist
items received from the Approving Authorities and any items on the
Builders Punch List that are the same as the items on the Approving
Authorities punchlist to be corrected within the time required by
the County or other applicable Approving Authorities, and shall
cause any other punchlist items appearing on the Builders Punch
List to be corrected within 90 days, subject to Force Majeure
Delay.

 

25.6 Self-Help
Remedy.

 

25.6.1 Notice
of Default. If Developer: (a) breaches its obligation under
this Agreement to complete or cause the completion of any
Improvement in accordance with the Plans or by the applicable
Substantial Completion Date (as extended by any Force Majeure
Delay); (b) otherwise breaches any material obligation under this
Agreement (c) fails to comply with any material provision of its
Contracts with Service Providers beyond any applicable express
notice or cure periods; or (d) files a petition for relief in
bankruptcy or makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors,
or admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they become due (each a “Bankruptcy
Event”), then any Builder may deliver written notice
of the breach to Developer (a “Notice of
Default”). Each of the events set forth in Subsections
(a) through (d) inclusive of the preceding sentence shall be herein
referred to as a “Constructing Party
Default.” For any Constructing Party Default other
than a Bankruptcy Event, the Developer shall have thirty (30) days
after Developer’s receipt of the Notice of Default from any
Builder to cure the Constructing Party Default (the
“Cure
Period”); provided, however, if the nature of the
Constructing Party Default is such that it cannot reasonably be
cured within thirty (30) days, the Cure Period shall be deemed
extended for a reasonable period of time (not to exceed an
additional ninety (90) days) so long as Developer commenced in good
faith and with due diligence to cause such Constructing Party
Default to be remedied. If Developer does not cause the cure of the
Constructing Party Default within the Cure Period (as may be
extended pursuant to the preceding sentence, and subject to Force
Majeure Delays), or if a Bankruptcy Event occurs (either, an
“Event of
Default”), then Richmond (acting as
“Substitute
Constructing Party”) may elect to assume and take over
the construction of the Improvements by providing written notice to
Developer of such appointment within 15 days following the Event of
Default (the “Assumption
Notice”). If Richmond does not deliver an Assumption
Notice within such 15 day period, the remaining Builders may meet
and appoint one of the other Builders or another qualified third
party to serve as the Substitute Constructing Party. Substitute Constructing Party’s assumption
of the construction of the Improvements shall not include the
assumption of any liability for acts or omissions occurring prior
to the Assumption Notice, or payment of any “Constructing
Party Cost Overruns” (as defined below) incurred prior to the Assumption Notice, which
Constructing Party Cost Overruns shall remain the sole
responsibility of the Developer, or receipt of any cost savings
prior to the Assumption Notice; provided, however, that the
Substitute Constructing Party shall be entitled to an
administrative fee in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the
remaining Costs (as defined below) actually paid, which
administrative fee shall be included in the Constructing Party Cost
Overruns. The Builders’ election to
appoint a Substitute Constructing Party to assume and take over the
construction of the Improvements and to exercise and enforce the
rights and obligations set forth in Section 3.6.2 below shall
thereafter be the Builders’ sole and exclusive remedy except
as provided in Section 3.6.2 and in Sections 3.7 and 3.8 with
respect to work performed by PCY.

 


 




 

159








 






 

25.6.2 It
is expressly acknowledged and agreed that in the event the
Substitute Constructing Party takes over the construction of the
Improvements as contemplated hereby, Substitute Constructing
Party’s assumption of the
construction of the Improvements is done only as an
accommodation to the Parties and that, except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement, Substitute Constructing Party shall have
no responsibility, liability or obligation with respect to (and the
Parties hereby covenant not to sue Substitute Constructing Party
for, and hereby release the Substitute Constructing Party from, all
liability and claims relating to or arising from) the design,
engineering, construction or completion of the Improvements, the
funds collected and disbursed under this Agreement, any damage,
loss or injury to any of the parties or otherwise related to any
action or inaction of Substitute Constructing Party in connection
with this Agreement, or any defect in the materials or workmanship
pertaining to the Improvements, except for any “Substitute
Constructing Party Covered Liability,” as hereinafter
defined. “Substitute
Constructing Party Covered
Liability” means the following matters for which
Substitute Constructing Party shall be liable to the other Parties
in connection with its performance as Substitute Constructing Party
hereunder: (a)  any damage, loss or injury arising from the
willful misconduct, bad faith, recklessness or illegal acts of the
Substitute Constructing Party in performing or failing to perform
hereunder, or (b) damage, loss or injury arising from the
fraudulent conduct of Substitute Constructing Party; provided,
however, that any damages to which the other Parties shall be
entitled to recover for any Substitute Constructing Party Covered
Liability shall be limited to out-of-pocket losses, costs, damages
or expenses, and the other Parties shall not be entitled to recover
from the Substitute Constructing Party any punitive or
consequential losses, costs, damages or expenses or lost profits as
a result of, or in connection with, any Substitute Constructing
Party Covered Liability. Substitute Constructing Party makes no
representation or warranty with respect to the Joint Improvements,
and shall have no liability for any defect in the materials or
workmanship pertaining thereto. The parties hereby agree to look
solely to the contractors engaged to construct and complete the
Improvements for any contractual violation, indemnity, warranty or
guarantee relating to the Improvements. Upon completion of the
Improvements, Substitute Constructing Party shall assign to the
parties hereto (to the extent assignable and without any
representation or warranty whatsoever), on a non-exclusive basis,
the contractual rights received from the contractors that construct
or complete any portion of the Joint Improvements, including,
without limitation, all rights related to any indemnities,
guaranties and/or warranties received from such
contractors.

 

25.6.3 Assumption
Right. If the Builders deliver an Assumption Notice, then:
(i) Developer shall cooperate to allow the Substitute Constructing
Party to take over and complete the incomplete Improvements,
including the execution and delivery to the Substitute Constructing
Party of such agreements, documents or instruments as may be
reasonably necessary to assign to the Substitute Constructing Party
all Contracts with third parties pertaining to the Improvements;
(ii) Developer shall remain responsible for all Constructing Party
Cost Overruns (as hereinafter defined) and Costs incurred through
the date that the Assumption Notice if given, but Developer shall
be relieved of all further obligations under this Agreement with
respect to the completion of the incomplete Improvements subsequent
to such assumption; (iii) Developer shall remain liable for
its negligence or willful misconduct, and any indemnification
obligations specified herein incurred prior to the date of such
assumption; and (v) Substitute Constructing Party shall assume and
perform all obligations under all Contracts for Improvements which
Substitute Constructing Party will complete to the extent such
obligations are to be performed after the date of delivery of the
Assumption Notice; and (vi) Substitute Contracting Party shall
succeed to all of the Developer’s rights under Section 5 of
this Agreement pertaining to the right to receive and collect
payment for Costs for completing the construction of the
Improvements. The Substitute Constructing Party shall be entitled
to recover the Constructing Party Cost Overruns incurred by the
Substitute Constructing Party from the Developer. In the event of
an Assumption Notice, the Substitute Constructing Party shall
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Developer and its members,
managers, 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, that accrue after the
date of the Assumption Notice and arise out of the Substitute
Constructing Party’s Covered Liability or gross negligence in
the completion of the Improvements, and this indemnity shall not
apply to any claims, demands, liabilities, losses, damages, costs,
expenses, acts or omissions arising or accruing before the date of
the Assumption Notice. The obligations under this Section shall
survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement.

25.7 Warranty
Periods.

 

25.7.1 Government
Warranty Period. The Approving Authorities may require a
warranty period after the Substantial Completion with respect to
certain Improvements (a “Government Warranty
Period”). In the event defects in the Improvements to
which a governmental warranty applies become apparent during the
Government Warranty Period, then Developer shall coordinate the
repairs with the applicable Approving 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 Approving Authorities. Any costs and expenses incurred 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) that cause the Budgeted Costs to be exceeded
shall be borne by Developer and shall be included in the
Constructing Party Cost Overruns, unless such defect or damage was
caused by Builder or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or
agents, in which event Builder shall pay all such costs and
expenses to the extent caused by Builder or its contractors,
subcontractors, employees, or agents.

 

25.7.2 Non-Government
Warranty Period. Developer warrants (“Non-Government
Warranty”) to each Builder that each Improvement to
which a Governmental Warranty Period does not apply shall have been
constructed in accordance with the Plans for one (1) year from the
date of Substantial Completion of the applicable Improvement (the
“Non-Government
Warranty Period”). If the Builders deliver written
notice to Developer of breach of the Non-Government Warranty during
the Non-Government Warranty Period, then Developer shall coordinate
the corrections with the Builders and cause the Service Provider(s)
who performed the applicable work or supplied the applicable
materials to complete such corrections or, if such Service
Providers fail to make such corrections, otherwise cause such
corrections to be made. Any costs and expenses incurred in
connection with a breach of the Non-Government Warranty that cause
the Budgeted Costs to be exceeded shall be borne by Developer
(including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to
enforce any warranties against Service Providers), and shall be
included in the Constructing Party Cost Overruns, unless such
breach was caused by a Builder or its contractors, subcontractors,
employees, or agents, in which event the Builder shall pay all such
costs and expenses to the extent caused by the Builder or its
contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents. EXCEPT AS
EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN SECTION 3.7.1 OR 3.7.2, THE
DEVELOPER PARTIES MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND
TO BUILDER IN RELATION TO THE 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 ANY DEFECT IN IMPROVEMENTS FOR WHICH NO CLAIM IS
ASSERTED DURING THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD. The preceding
sentence does not affect, alter or modify any Service
Provider’s obligations to repair or correct any defects in
Improvements and shall not be construed as a limitation on the
Builders’ statutory rights or remedies, if any, which may not
be modified by contract.

 


 




 

161








 






 

25.8 Liens.
Developer shall pay, or cause to be paid, when due, all liens and
claims for labor and/or materials furnished for the construction of
the Improvements pursuant to this Agreement to prevent the filing
or recording by any third party of any mechanics’,
materialmen’s or other lien, stop notice or bond claim or any
attachments, levies or garnishments (collectively
“Liens”)
involving the Improvements.

 

26. Costs of
Improvements.

 

26.1 Definition
of Costs. As used herein, the term “Costs”
shall mean all hard and soft costs incurred in connection with the
design (including all engineering expenses), construction and
installation of the Improvements, including, but not limited to,
costs of labor, materials and suppliers, engineering, design and
consultant fees and costs, blue printing services, construction
staking, demolition, soil amendments or compaction, any processing,
plan check or permit fees for the Improvements, engineering
services required to obtain a permit for and complete the
Improvements, costs of surety and compliance with all applicable
laws, costs of insurance required by this Agreement, costs of any
financial assurances, any corrections, changes or additions to work
required by the Approving Authorities or necessitated by site
conditions, municipal, state and county taxes imposed in connection
with construction of the Improvements, any warranty work, and any
other costs incurred in connection with the performance of the
obligations of Developer or the Substitute Constructing Party (as
applicable) hereunder to complete the Improvements.

 

26.2 Budget.
Upon completion of the Plans there will be attached hereto by an
amendment as Exhibit D an
estimate of the Costs to construct the Improvements (the
“Budget”).
The Costs identified on the Budget are referred to herein as
“Budgeted
Costs.” The Builders shall pay or cause to be paid
pursuant to Article 6 below a share of
the Budgeted Costs not to exceed One Million Two Hundred Thousand
Dollars ($1,200,000.00) (the “Maximum Builder
Costs”).

 

26.3 Cost
Overruns. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, the Developer shall pay (i) all costs to correct any
error or defect in the Plans that cause the Costs to exceed the
Maximum Builder Costs, and (ii) all other costs and charges that
cause the Costs to exceed the Maximum Builder Costs (collectively,
the “Constructing Party
Cost Overruns”). The Builders shall not have any
responsibility for Constructing Party Cost Overruns except that the
applicable Builder shall pay for such Constructing Party Cost
Overruns which occur as a result of that Builder’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement or such Builder’s
actions.

 

26.4 Accounting.
Developer shall keep good and accurate books and records in
sufficient detail to allow the Costs to be calculated, which books
and records shall be made available for review (upon reasonable
prior written notice) by the Parties. Within thirty (30) days after
Substantial Completion of the Improvements, the Developer shall
deliver to the Builders a reasonably detailed final accounting of
the Costs.

 

26.5 Progress
Reports. Developer shall, no less frequently than once per
calendar quarter, provide the Builders with a progress report
setting forth the amount of Costs expended to date, a list of
Improvements completed to date, and an estimate by a project
manager of Developer of the status of overall completion of the
Improvements, in such form as Developer deems reasonably
appropriate.

27. Payment of Costs.

 

27.1 Payment.

 

27.1.1 Payment.
The Builders shall pay to Developer in the aggregate an amount
equal to the Maximum Builder Costs. Each Builder shall pay a
prorata portion of the Maximum Builder Costs that is equal to a
percentage of the Maximum Builder Costs that is calculated by
dividing the number of Builder Lots to be purchased by a Builder
under the terms of that Builder’s Purchase Agreement by the
total number of Builder Lots to be purchased by all of the Builders
in the first phase of the Development under the terms of all of the
Purchase Agreements. Based upon this calculation, each
Builder’s prorata share of the Maximum Builder Cost expressed
as a percentage (“Prorata
Share”) is as follows, subject to adjustment if the
total number or any Builder’s number of Builder Lots changes
as provided in Section 16.3 hereof:

 


# of Lot to be Purchased
 Total # of Lots in
Development Percentage

 


Richmond:  196    506    38.7%

 


Taylor
Morrison: 161    506    31.8%

 


Additional
Builder: 149    506    29.5%

 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge
and agree that in no event will the amount due from any individual
Builder exceed the dollar amount equal to the product of (a)
$1,200,000.00 multiplied by (b) such Builder’s Percentage
shown in the table above.

 

27.1.2  Escrow
Instruction. Within ten (10) business days after substantial
completion of the Builder Lots to be acquired by a Builder at its
first Closing under its Purchase Agreement, each Builder shall pay
its Prorata Share of that portion of the Maximum Builder Costs
equal to $750,000 to Escrow Agent (the “Initial
Payment”). On or before the date that is two hundred
seventy (270) days after the Phase 1 Substantial Completion Date,
each Builder shall pay to Escrow Agent its Prorata Share of (a) the
lesser of the remaining portion of the Maximum Builder Costs equal
to $450,000, or (b) the remaining portion of the Budgeted Costs
(the “Final
Payment”). For the purposes of this Agreement,
Developer shall be deemed an Additional Builder with respect to the
Pro Rata Share allocated above to the Additional Builder and its
obligations hereunder and Developer shall pay the Additional
Builder’s Prorata Share of the Initial Payment at the first
closing of lots under a Purchase Agreement and pay the Final
Payment on or before the date required above. If a Builder’s
Purchase Agreement terminates before such Builder has closed on the
purchase of any Builder Lots thereunder, then Developer will fund
such Builder’s Prorata Share to the extent required so that
there is not a shortfall in the Initial Payment or Final Payment
required hereunder. When another builder executes a joinder to this
Agreement, the Additional Builder shall be substituted for
Developer as the Additional Builder and shall be responsible for
paying the Pro Rata Share of the Initial Payment and the Final
Payment allocated to the Additional Builder and the obligations of
a Builder hereunder and Developer will be reimbursed from such
payments for any Initial Payment or Final Payment made by
Developer. Escrow Agent has executed this Agreement in order to
reflect its agreement with regard to the Escrowed Funds under this
Section 5. Pursuant to the request of Developer and the Builders,
Escrow Agent agrees to receive and accept the Initial Payment and
the Final Payment (collectively the “Escrowed
Funds”) upon and subject to the remaining terms and
conditions hereof. Developer (or the Substitute Contracting Party
who has been appointed pursuant to Section 3.6.1) is entitled to
draw upon the Escrowed Funds for reimbursement of invoices for
Costs incurred by Developer (or the Substitute Contracting Party)
in connection with the completion of the Improvements. In the event
that a Substitute Contracting Party is appointed pursuant to
Section 3.6.1, Developer and such Substitute Contracting Party
shall promptly give notice thereof to the Escrow Agent and such
Substitute Contracting Party shall thereafter have the rights of
the Developer under this Section 5.1.2 in connection with Draw
Requests to pay for Costs incurred by such Substitute Contracting
Party to complete the construction of the Improvements. The Escrow
Agent shall disburse amounts from the Escrowed Funds in accordance
with the following instructions. To the extent that any
Builder’s Purchase Agreement has be terminated at the time
any payment is due pursuant to this Section, Developer will make
such Builder’s payment, subject to reimbursement from a New
Builder as herein after defined:

 


 




 

163








 






 

(a) Submission
and Payment.
Developer may submit written draw requests
(“Draw
Requests”)
to the Builders and Escrow Agent from time to time. Draw Requests
must be accompanied by (i) copies of invoices from the third party
contractors and other Service Providers for the amounts to be
disbursed and (ii) shall include conditional lien waivers
and releases from Service Providers relating to work to paid for
from the current Draw Request, and to the extent not previously
provided, unconditional waivers and releases from such Service
Providers in the full amount shown on all conditional waivers and
releases previously submitted in connection with prior Draw
Requests for which payment has been made hereunder.

 

(b) Objection. Any portion of a
Draw Request that a Builder does not disapprove by written notice
to Developer and Escrow Agent within five (5) business days
following receipt thereof will be deemed approved. Builders may
only object to a Draw Request for the following reasons: (a) the
invoices to accompany the Draw Request were not properly delivered;
or (b) Builder has good cause to dispute the validity of the
invoice; or (c) the invoice is not for Costs incurred by Developer
in connection with the construction of the Improvements. Builders
shall deliver written notice of any objection (“Objection
Notice”) pursuant to the preceding sentence to Escrow
Agent and Seller within the five (5) business day period described
in the first sentence of this Section. If Escrow Agent and Seller
timely receive an Objection Notice, then Escrow Agent shall not be
authorized to disburse such disputed amount to Developer (but
Escrow Agent shall be authorized to disburse all other non-disputed
amounts to Developer) unless and until Escrow Agent receives
authorization to do so from the Parties. If Escrow Agent and
Developer timely receive an Objection Notice, then Builder and
Seller shall promptly meet and in good faith attempt to resolve all
objections and provide direction to Escrow Agent to disburse
mutually-acceptable amounts to the Developer. Any Objection Notice
shall specifically identify the amount of the requested payment to
which the objection applies and the basis for such objection. No
Objection Notice shall be valid if it does not identify specific
objections.

 

(c) Final Disbursement. Upon
Substantial Completion of the Improvements, Developer will submit a
Completion Notice to Escrow Agent and the Builders along with a
final Draw Request (which shall include an unconditional lien
waiver from all Service Providers, to the extent not previously
provided) with respect to any funds remaining in the Escrow
Account. If Escrow Agent is not in possession of an unresolved
Objection Notice, then Escrow Agent will pay any undisbursed
portion of the Escrow Funds then remaining in escrow to Developer.
If Escrow Agent receives an Objection Notice from a Builder in
accordance with this pertaining to Developer’s final Draw
Request, the Escrow Agent may hold such undisbursed Escrow Funds
until it receives joint written instructions from Developer and
such Builder directing Escrow Agent regarding the disbursement of
such amount, or Escrow Agent may proceed as permitted by the
General Provisions to this Agreement attached as Attachment 1
hereto.

 

(d) If the Developer
and Builders are unable to agree upon a resolution of an Objection
Notice within five (5) days after Developer’s receipt
thereof, then any dispute related to such Objection Notice shall be
submitted to the expedited dispute resolution procedures in
accordance with Section
6 below.

 


 




 

164








 






 

(e) Developer shall pay
all charges of Escrow Agent in acting hereunder, and such
reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and other costs as may
be incurred by Escrow Agent in connection with the negotiation,
preparation and administration of this Agreement.

 

28. Expedited Dispute
Resolution.

 

28.1 Disputes
Related to Contracts, Draw Notices and Costs. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
disputes related to any objections to Contracts,
determination of Substantial Completion, Draw Notices or the amount
of or responsibility for Constructing Party Cost Overruns
(“Expedited
Disputes”) shall all be
resolved by CVL Engineers – Melinda Lundquist or if
such party is not available or unwilling to serve as arbitrator,
another reputable third party licensed engineer selected by
Developer and approved by Builders (“Informal
Arbitrator”). Within five (5) business days after a
Party delivers a Dispute Notice to all Parties, the Developer and
the Builder or Builders involved in the Expedited Dispute shall
deliver to the Informal Arbitrator a written statement of how such
Party believes the Expedited Dispute should be resolved, together
with reasonable supporting documentation of such position
(“Resolution
Notice”). Within ten (10) business days after receipt
of Resolution Notices from both such Parties, the Informal
Arbitrator shall approve one (1) of the Parties’ Resolution
Notice and shall deliver written notice of such approval to each
Party. The decision of the Informal Arbitrator shall be binding on
all Parties with respect to the applicable Expedited Dispute. All
Parties shall timely cooperate with the Informal Arbitrator in
rendering his or her decision. The Party that is not the prevailing
party in the resolution of any Expedited Dispute shall promptly pay
the Informal Arbitrator’s fee, and the prevailing
party’s other fees and costs of any such expedited dispute
resolution process and reasonable attorney’s fees. The term
“prevailing party” means the party who successfully
obtains substantially all of the relief sought by such party or is
successful in denying substantially all of the relief sought by the
other party. The Parties acknowledge that there is a benefit to the
Parties in having work done as expeditiously as possible and that
there is a need for a streamlined method of making decisions
described in this Section so that work is not delayed. A Party
shall not be entitled to recover from any other Party exemplary,
punitive, special, indirect, consequential or any other damages
other than actual damages (unless the Informal Arbitrator finds
intentional abuse or frustration of the arbitration process) in
connection with an Expedited Dispute.

 

28.2 Standards
of Conduct. The Parties agree that with respect to all
aspects of the expedited dispute resolution process contained
herein they will conduct themselves in a manner intended to assure
the integrity and fairness of that process. To that end, if an
Expedited Dispute is submitted to expedited dispute resolution
process, the Parties agree that they will not contact or
communicate with the Informal Arbitrator who was appointed with
respect to any Expedited Dispute either ex parte or outside of the contacts and
communications contemplated by this Section 6, and the Parties
further agree that they will cooperate in good faith in the
production of evidence in a prompt and efficient manner to permit
the review and evaluation thereof by the other
Parties.

 

29. Progress Meetings. From and
after the date of this Agreement and until Substantial Completion
of the Improvements, the Parties shall cause their designated
representatives to meet within five (5) business days following a
request from a Party regarding the status of construction of the
Improvements, scheduling and coordination issues, engineering and
design issues, and other similar issues. Any Party may change its
designated representative under this Agreement at any time by
written notice to the other parties. The initial designated
representative for each Party for the purpose of this Section shall
be the individual listed on each Party’s respective signature
page attached hereto. All inquiries, requests, instructions,
authorizations, and other communications with respect to the
matters covered by this Agreement shall be made to such
representatives. Any Party may without further or independent
inquiry, assume and rely at all times that the representatives of
the other parties designated hereunder have the power and authority
to make decisions on behalf of such other parties, to communicate
such decisions to the other Party and to bind such Party by his
acts and deeds, unless otherwise notified in writing by the Party
designating the representative. Any Party may change its
representative under this Agreement at any time by written notice
to the other Parties.

 


 




 

165








 






 

30. Developer’s Stormwater Permit
responsibilities. Developer shall obtain and comply with all
necessary permits related to stormwater and erosion control from
all Approving Authorities, in relation to the construction, repair,
and maintenance of the Improvements.

 

31. Notices and Communications. All
notices, statements, demands, requirements, approvals or other
communications and documents (“Communications”)
required or permitted to be given, served, or delivered by or to
any Party or any intended recipient under this Agreement shall be
in writing and shall be given to the
addresses set forth in this Section 9
(“Notice
Address”). Communications
to a Party 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 such Party’s Notice Address;
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 such Party’s Notice Address; 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 to such Party at
such Party’s Notice Address; 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
designated in such Party’s Notice Address and receipt of such
telecopy or electronic mail message is electronically confirmed
(provided, however, any notice of default from Developer to Builder

32. Attorneys’ Fees. Except
as provided in Section
6.1, should any action be brought in connection with this
Agreement including, without limitation, actions based on contract,
tort or statute, the prevailing Party in such action shall be
awarded all costs and expenses incurred in connection with such
action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. The provisions
of this Section shall survive the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.

 

33. Further Acts. Each of the
Parties hereto shall execute and deliver all such documents and
perform all such acts as reasonably necessary, from time to time,
to carry out the matters contemplated by this
Agreement.

 

34. No Partnership; Third Parties.
It is not intended by this Agreement to, and nothing contained in
this Agreement shall, create any partnership, joint venture or
other arrangement among the Parties hereto. No term or provision of
this Agreement is intended to, or shall, be for the benefit of any
person, firm, organization or corporation not a Party hereto, and
no such other person, firm, organization or corporation shall have
any right or cause of action hereunder.

 

35. Entire Agreement; Headings for
Convenience Only; Not to be Construed Against Drafter; No Implied
Waiver. This Agreement and all other written agreements
among the Parties constitute the entire agreement among the Parties
hereto pertaining to the subject matter hereof. No change or
addition is to be made to this Agreement except by written
amendment executed by the Parties. The
headings, captions and titles contained in this Agreement
are intended for convenience of
reference only and are of no meaning in the interpretation or
effect of this Agreement. This Agreement shall not be construed
more strictly against one (1) Party than another merely by virtue
of the fact that it may have been initially drafted by one (1) of
the Parties or its counsel, since all Parties have contributed
substantially and materially to the preparation hereof. No failure
by a Party to insist upon the strict performance of any term,
covenant or provision contained in this Agreement, no failure by a
Party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement, and no
acceptance of full or partial payment owed to a Party during the
continuance of any default by the other Party(ies), shall
constitute a waiver of any such term, covenant or provision, or a
waiver of any such right or remedy, or a waiver of any such default
unless such waiver is made in writing by the Party to be bound
thereby. Any waiver of a breach of a term or a condition of this
Agreement shall not prevent a subsequent act, which would have
originally constituted a default under this Agreement, from having
all the force and effect of a default.

 


 




 

168








 






 

36. Governing Law. This Agreement
is entered into in Colorado and shall be construed and interpreted
under the law of the State of Colorado without giving effect to
principles of conflicts of law which would result in the
application of any law other than the law of the State of
Colorado.

 

37. Severability. If any provision
of this Agreement is declared void or unenforceable, such provision
shall be severed from this Agreement and shall not affect the
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this
Agreement.

 

38. Assignment; Binding Effect.
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns. Neither the Builders nor Developer may assign any of their
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the other Party(ies), which consent may be
withheld in each Party’s sole and absolute discretion;
provided, however, that:

 

38.1 A
Builder may assign, without consent, its rights under this
Agreement in full, but not in part: (i) to a third party which
acquires some or all of Builder’s Builder Lots, or (ii) to an
entity that controls, is controlled by, or under common control
with, Builder; provided further, however that Developer approves
the form of assignment, which approval shall be in
Developer’s reasonable discretion; and

 

38.2 Developer
may assign, without consent (but with prior notice to Builder), its
rights under this Agreement: (i) to an entity that controls, is
controlled by, or under common control with, Developer; (ii) to any
entity that acquires all or substantially all of the
Developer’s interests in the Builder Lots which Seller
reasonably believes has the financial ability and experience to
perform Seller’s obligations under this
Agreement.

 

38.3 Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that any Builder identified herein
does not acquire all of the Builder Lots to be acquired pursuant to
its Purchase Agreement, the Developer shall have the right to
unilaterally amend this Agreement by having any other builder (each
a “New
Builder”) which contracts to acquire any of the
Builder Lots from Developer to execute a joinder to this Agreement
which shall set forth a Prorata Share for such New Builder as
calculated pursuant to Section 5.1.1 hereof and in the form
attached as Exhibit
E.

 

39. Counterparts;
Copies of Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two
(2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original, but all of which together shall constitute one (1) and
the same instrument. The signature pages from one (1) or more
counterparts may be removed from such counterparts and such
signature pages all attached to a single instrument so that the
signatures of all Parties may be physically attached to a single
document. This Agreement
may be executed and delivered by
facsimile or by electronic mail in portable document format (.pdf)
or similar means and delivery of the signature page by such method
will be deemed to have the same effect as if the original signature
had been delivered to the other party. Upon execution of
this Agreement by Developer and
the Builders, Developer shall provide a fully executed copy of
this Agreement to each Builder
for its records.

 


 




 

169








 






 

40. Time of the Essence. Time is of
the essence for performance or satisfaction of all requirements,
conditions, or other provisions of this Agreement, subject to any
specific time extensions set forth herein.

 

41. Computation of Time Periods.
All time periods referred to in this Agreement shall include all
Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, unless the period of time
specifies business days. If the date to perform any act or give a
notice with respect to this Agreement shall fall on a Saturday,
Sunday or national or state holiday, the act or notice may be
timely performed on the next succeeding day which is not a
Saturday, Sunday or a national or state holiday.

 

42. Remedies. Except as hereinafter
provided with regard to Expedited Disputes and the self-help remedy
under Section 3.6,
if any Party is in default of any of its obligations under this
Agreement beyond any applicable notice or cure periods, the other
Party(ies) may avail itself to any rights and remedies available at
law and equity, but may only recover its actual, out-of-pocket
damages (excluding any incidental, consequential, speculative,
punitive or lost profits damages) incurred as a result of such
default. For Expedited Disputes, the sole and exclusive remedy of
the Parties is set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement, and for
Developer Defaults, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Parties is
set forth in Section
3.6 of this Agreement.

 

43. Jury Waiver. 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 AGREEMENT.

V.            

MISCELLANEOUS





 

5.1 Assignment.
The CAB acknowledges that Consultant has entered into agreements
with various home builders (“Builders”) for the purchase and
sale of residential building lots with the Sky Ranch subdivision
which obligate Consultant to cause the construction of the
Improvements as required to obtain building permits and
certificates of occupancy for residential dwellings constructed by
the Builders on such lots. The CAB further acknowledges that such
agreements entitle a Builder to step-in and take over the role of
the Consultant as project manager to perform the Services under
this Agreement in the event that Consultant defaults in its
obligation to cause the construction of the Improvements under the
agreements between Consultant and a Builder (such rights being
referred to herein as “Step-In Rights”). CAB agrees that
this Agreement is assignable to a Builder that exercises its
Step-In Rights upon written notice thereof by such Builder to the
CAB and the Consultant certifying that the conditions to the
Builder’s exercise of the Step-In Rights have been met, and
that the CAB will honor such assignment (such Builder being
referred to herein as the “Exercising Builder”). Except for
an assignment to a Builder as permitted by this Section, the
Consultant shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of
its duties hereunder to any person or entity. Any purported
assignment or delegation in violation of the provisions hereof
shall be void and of no effect.

 


 




 

189








 






 


(a)           Acknowledgement.
The CAB hereby acknowledges the right of a Builder to exercise its
Step-In Rights and take an assignment of this Agreement from the

5.9 Default/Remedies. If either
Party fails to perform any of its responsibilities, obligations or

the other Party (or such additional period of time as may

curative action is commenced within such thirty (30) day period and
is diligently and continuously pursued to completion), then the
non-defaulting Party, at its option, may elect (i) to treat this
Agreement as remaining in full force and effect; or (ii) terminate
this Agreement as of any specified date. The non-defaulting Party

of the default notice together with notice of such election to
terminate to the Builders, and in lieu of any such termination, the

Agreement. If the applicable Builder(s) do not exercise such
Step-In Rights by delivering notice of same to the Parties and

the default that gave rise to the Exercising Builder exercising its

complied and will comply with all federal, state and local laws
regarding business permits, certificates and licenses required to
perform the Services.

No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision of this
Agreement, nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver
unless otherwise expressly provided herein, nor shall the waiver of
any default hereunder be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
default hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Agreement, no term or condition of this Agreement shall be
construed or interpreted as a waiver, either expressed or implied,

COMPENSATION

 


 


PROJECT
MANAGEMENT FEE


The
Project Management Fee (PM Fee) shall be five percent (5%) of
actual construction costs of CAB Eligible Improvements. The PM Fee
shall be based only on the actual costs of the Improvements; thus,
items such as fees, permits, review fees, consultant or other soft
costs, land acquisition, or any other costs that are not directly
related to the cost of construction of CAB Eligible Improvements
will not be included in the calculation of the PM Fee. All such
costs excluded from calculating the PM Fee are reimbursable to the
Project Manager (PM) provided they are exclusively spent on CAB
Eligible Improvements, are reasonable with other similar projects
in the Denver metropolitan area and approved by the Sky Ranch
Community Authority Board (the “CAB”). This Section is for
calculation of the PM Fee only and is not intended to exclude
reimbursement for CAB Eligible Improvements meeting the
requirements of the CAB.


 


The PM
shall be reimbursed the PM Fee after submission of an acceptable
invoice including documentation of all CAB Eligible Expenses.
Invoice and documentation shall be reviewed and approved by the
Board of Directors for the CAB or designated Representative prior
to payment. Invoices may be submitted periodically but not more
than once per month.

X. MISCELLANEOUS

 

10.1 Assignment.
Rangeview acknowledges that Consultant has entered into agreements
with various home builders (“Builders”) for the purchase and
sale of residential building lots with the Sky Ranch subdivision
which obligate Consultant to cause the construction of the
Improvements as required to obtain building permits and
certificates of occupancy for residential dwellings constructed by
the Builders on such lots. Rangeview further acknowledges that such
agreements entitle a Builder to step-in and take over the role of
the Consultant as project manager to perform the Services under
this Agreement in the event that Consultant defaults in its
obligation to cause the construction of the Improvements under the
agreements between Consultant and a Builder (such rights being
referred to herein as “Step-In Rights”). Rangeview agrees
that this Agreement is assignable to a Builder that exercises its
step-in rights upon written notice thereof by such Builder to
Rangeview and the Consultant certifying that the conditions to the
Builder’s exercise of the Step-In Rights have been met, and
that Rangeview will honor such assignment (such Builder being
referred to herein as the “Exercising Builder”). Except for
an assignment to a Builder as permitted by this Section, the
Consultant shall not assign any of its rights or delegate any of
its duties hereunder to any person or entity. Any purported
assignment or delegation in violation of the provisions hereof
shall be void and of no effect.

and claims relating to or arising from) the design, engineering,
construction or completion of the Improvements, any damage, loss or
injury to any of the Parties or otherwise related to any action or
inaction of Exercising Builder in connection with this Agreement,
or any defect in the materials or workmanship pertaining to the
Improvements, except for any “Exercising Builder Covered
Liability,” as hereinafter defined. “Exercising Builder

with its performance as Exercising Builder hereunder: (a) any
damage, loss or injury arising from the negligence, willful
misconduct, bad faith, recklessness or illegal acts of the

10.9 Default/Remedies.
If either Party fails to perform any of its responsibilities,

of default from the other Party (or such additional period of time
as may reasonably be required to cure such default; provided that
the curative action is commenced within such thirty (30) day period
and is diligently and continuously pursued to completion), then the
non-defaulting Party, at its option, may elect (i) to treat this
Agreement as remaining in full force and effect; or (ii) terminate
this Agreement as of any specified date. The non-defaulting Party
shall additionally be entitled to exercise all remedies available
at law or in equity, including specific performance. In the event

of the default notice together with notice of such election to
terminate to the Builders, and in lieu of any such termination, the

such notice to exercise its Step-In Rights as described in this
Agreement. If the applicable Builder(s) do not exercise such
Step-In Rights by delivering notice of same to the Parties and
other Builders within such thirty (30) day time period, the
Builders shall be deemed to have waived such Step-In Rights and the
non-defaulting party may then proceed with termination of this
Agreement as described in subsection (ii). The Parties acknowledge
and agree that the Exercising Builder shall have no liability for
the default that gave rise to the Exercising Builder exercising its
Step-In Rights as described in this Agreement, and that the scope

limited to the provisions of Section 5.1(c), above.

complied and will comply with all federal, state and local laws
regarding business permits, certificates and licenses required to
perform the Services.

 

10.12 Non-Waiver.
No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be
deemed to constitute a waiver of any other provision of this
Agreement, nor shall such waiver constitute a continuing waiver
unless otherwise expressly provided herein, nor shall the waiver of
any default hereunder be deemed to be a waiver of any subsequent
default hereunder. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in
this Agreement, no term or condition of this Agreement shall be
construed or interpreted as a waiver, either expressed or implied,

COMPENSATION

 


 


PROJECT
MANAGEMENT FEE


The
Project Management Fee (PM Fee) shall be five percent (5%) of
actual construction costs of Rangeview Eligible Improvements. The
PM Fee shall be based only on the actual costs of the Improvements;

All such costs excluded from calculating the PM Fee are
reimbursable to the Project Manager (PM) provided they are
exclusively spent on Rangeview Eligible Improvements, are
reasonable with other similar projects in the Denver metropolitan
area and approved by the Rangeview Board of Directors. This Section
is for calculation of the PM Fee only and is not intended to
exclude reimbursement for Rangeview Eligible Improvements meeting
the requirements of Rangeview.


 


The PM
shall be reimbursed the PM Fee after submission of an acceptable
invoice including documentation of all Rangeview Eligible Expenses.
Invoice and documentation shall be reviewed and approved by the
Board of Directors for Rangeview or designated Representative prior
to payment. Invoices may be submitted periodically but not more
than once per month.
