Developer three percent (3%) of the gross proceeds from sales of
the Homes ("Management Fee"), which shall be a Project Cost.
During the first eighteen (18) months of the development of the
Project, Owner shall pay to Developer a non-refundable advance
against the Management Fee in an amount of up to Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000) per month for each month during said initial
eighteen (18) month period, such payment to be made to the extent
that the portion of the Management Fee generated as a percentage
of gross proceeds during said month is less than Fifty Thousand
Dollars ($50,000). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, if Developer abandons the Property or its
responsibilities hereunder during the first eighteen (18) months
of the term of this agreement, the advance referred to herein
shall stop. Any such amounts so paid by Owner shall be treated as
capital only for purposes of computing the Preferential Return to
owner pursuant to Section 10.4. To the extent that the cumulative
total Management Fee paid to Developer, plus advances by Owner,
exceed three percent (3%) of gross sales revenue, then (i) such
excess shall not be treated as a Project Cost, and (ii) the
excess shall be reduced in the following manner:
(a) By a reduction in the Net Profits Share to the extent
of such excess (i.e. One Dollar ($1.00) of excess is
extinguished by a reduction of Net Profits Share of one Dollar
($1.00)); or
(b) By repaying owner from the Management Fee on Homes
built and sold in the Project, commencing with one hundred fifty
first Home and continuing thereafter. Each dollar taken from the
Management Fee to repay the advance shall extinguish One Dollar
($1.00) of such excess; or
(c) By a combination of (a) and (b) above, as applicable.
10.2 Net Profits Share. In addition to the Management
Fee set forth in Section 10.1, Owner shall pay to Developer a sum
equal to thirty percent (30%) of the net profits generated by the
Project (said amount being referred to as the Net Profits Share
herein). As used herein, the term "net profits" shall mean the
gross proceeds from sales of the Homes reduced by all costs of
the Homes (including, but not limited to, land costs, development
costs, marketing costs and financing costs). The Net Profits
Share shall be paid to Developer on a pro rata basis after owner
has recovered its total capital investment and its preferred
return pursuant to Section 10.4, with a reasonable reserve
retained by Owner as a portion of the Net Profits Share otherwise
due Developer from each Home sale to cover the likelihood of a
negative adjustment of Net Profits Share as described in Section
10.3. Such reserve may be as low as zero if experience has shown
that the final preapproved construction cost budgets have been
accurate. Any such excess reserve so created shall be disbursed
to Developer immediately after completion of the final accounting
for the Project.
10.3 Adjustments to Compensation. Net Profits Share at
the end of the build-out and sale of the Property shall be
decreased by the net amount (if any) that actual construction
expenses for the entire Project exceed the cumulative total of
all final preapproved construction cost budgets for the entire
Project (i.e., to the extent that all construction cost overruns
exceed all construction cost savings, Net Profits Share shall be
reduced), excluding from such computation any excess caused by
Force Majeure events or Owner's default. Net Profits Share at the
end of the build-out and sale of the Property shall be increased
by fifty (50%) of the net amount, if any that the cumulative
total of all final preapproved construction cost budgets for the
entire Project exceed the actual construction expenses for the
entire Project (i.e., if all construction cost savings exceed all
construction cost overruns, Net Profits Share shall be increased
by fifty (50%) of such excess). Preapproved construction cost
budgets shall include direct construction cost contingency and
warranty expense accounts.
10.4 Preferential Return to Owner. Owner shall
receive, and the Project shall be charged with an amount equal to
twelve percent (12%) of the cumulative total of all capital
invested in or expended on the Property and Project by owner (not
including earnings retained in the Project funds) in connection
with the acquisition, financing and development of the Project,
commencing with the time the expenditure is made and terminating
upon reimbursement of such amount. The payment to Owner shall be
in the nature of interest on the outstanding balance of the
Owner's total unreimbursed costs and shall be subtracted from
gross proceeds as a Project cost prior to determination of Net
Profits Share for each phase of the Project. Owner shall notify
Developer from time to time (no less often than every sixty (60)
days) of the amounts that owner has advanced and for which it
will be claiming a preferential return under this Section 10.4.
Section 11. Bank Accounts: Segregation And
Disbursement. To assure segregation of funds and to facilitate
reporting, Owner and Developer shall each establish such bank
account or accounts as may be required to serve as depositaries
for the activities to be conducted hereunder, including such

and building loan disbursements. Fund requisitions to owner for
payment of capital contributions required to be paid pursuant to

action.

(i) any action taken hereunder, (ii) any proposed action to be
taken hereunder, (iii) any claim that the provisions hereof have
not been performed, (iv) any attempt to obtain a declaration of
rights hereunder or any interpretation of the provisions hereof,
(v) any claim for damages between the parties by reason of the
breach hereof, or (vi) any claim that this agreement should be
terminated for breach shall be resolved by arbitration. Such
arbitration shall be final and binding between the parties, and
the order of the arbitrator may be enforced in the manner
provided for enforcement of a judgment of a court of law pursuant
to the applicable provisions of the California Code of Civil
Procedure. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with
the procedures set forth in Section 25.1(B) through (G) below.
(B) Any party who has a claim (the "Demanding
Party") hereunder to be resolved through arbitration shall state
the claim (the "Claim") in writing. The Claim shall include (i)
the item or matter in dispute, (ii) the Demanding Party's
position, and (iii) a specific statement of the exact relief the
Demanding Party requests.
(C) The parties shall meet and confer in an
attempt to resolve the matter raised by the Claim. If they are
unable to reach a resolution within thirty (30) days after the
date of the Claim, then within ten (10) days thereafter, the
Demanding Party shall either (i) restate its Claim, (ii) amend
the Claim, or (iii) withdraw the Claim. Failure on the part of
the Demanding Party to withdraw or amend the Claim in writing
shall constitute a restatement thereof.
(D) If the Claim is not withdrawn within the ten
(10) day period provided for in Section 25.1(C) above, the other
party (the "Responding Party") shall, within fifteen (15) days
after expiration of the ten (10) day period provided for in
Section 25.1(C) above, prepare a response to the Claim (the
"Response") specifying specifically (i) the Responding Party's
position on the Claim, and (ii) the exact relief the Responding
Party requests.
(E) The matter or matters in dispute shall be
submitted to the arbitrator on the basis of the issues as framed
by the Claim (as the same may have been amended pursuant to
Section 25.1(C) above) and the Response. The arbitrator shall be
a person from the San Francisco East Bay Area with at least five
(5) years experience and professional qualifications in the
subject matter in dispute under the Claim and Response such as,
for example, civil engineering if the matter in dispute concerns
subdivision improvement matters, and financing if the matter in
dispute concerns that subject. If the parties are unable to agree
on a single person to serve as arbitrator for the resolution of
the dispute within thirty (30) days after the date of the
Response, then either party shall have the right to apply for the
appointment of a duly qualified person to act as arbitrator to
the Presiding Judge of the Superior Court of the County of
Alameda, State of California, and neither party shall have any
right to object to the qualifications of said Judge to make such
appointment. If the arbitrator resigns or refused to serve, then
a new arbitrator shall be appointed as herein provided.
(F) As soon as convenient after appointment, the
arbitrator shall meet with the parties to hear evidence and
argument on their claim or Response. The arbitrator shall not be
bound by the Rules of Evidence in the conduct of such proceeding
although the arbitrator shall take account of said rules in
considering the weight of the evidence. To the extent applicable,
the decision of the arbitrator shall conform to law and the
arbitrator shall be entitled to retain an independent attorney to
advise him as to such questions of law that may arise during the
proceeding. In making a decision, the sole function of the
arbitrator shall be to determine whether (i) the relief requested
in the Claim, or (ii) the relief requested in the Response is the
more appropriate relief to be given in connection with the matter
in dispute, and the arbitrator shall have no right to fashion an
independent or different result.
(G) Each party shall pay one-half (1/2) of the
fees and costs of the arbitrator and all of its own costs and
attorneys' fees in connection with the arbitration.
(H) The arbitrator shall have no right to award
costs or attorneys, fees to either party unless the arbitrator
determines that the Claim or the Response is based on a position
totally lacking in merit or that was asserted for purposes solely
of delay, in which case the arbitrator shall have the right to
award costs and attorneys' fees to the Prevailing Party.
25.2 Developer's Profit Interest On Sale; Right Of
First Opoortunity And Right Of First Refusal.
(A) Preservation Of Developer's Profit Interest
on Sale. No portion of the Property may be sold as a bulk sale of
undeveloped or partially developed property without Developer's
prior written consent, unless (i) at least eighteen (18) months
from the effective date of this Agreement has passed, and (ii)
development has been suspended for a period of not less than one
(1) year. If all or a portion of the Property is so sold, the
proceeds of the sale shall be applied in the following order: (i)
discharge of indebtedness secured by encumbrances against the
interest so sold; (ii) return of owner's equity, plus an amount
equal to the excess Management Fee paid to Developer and not
previously reduced in accordance with Section 10.1; (iii) payment
to Owner of its preferential return pursuant to Section 10.4,
plus the preferential return computed on the excess Management
Fee; and (iv) any remainder to be paid seventy percent (70%) to
Owner and thirty percent (30%) to Developer. It is the intention
of the parties that this Section outlines a division of sales
proceeds that is different than that which would occur if Homes
were built and sold. If this Section applies, Developer shall
have no further obligation to reduce or extinguish any excess
Management Fee previously paid to it nor is its Net Profits Share
subject to adjustment as described in Section 10.3.
(B) Right Of First opportunity. If Owner
determines to sell all or a portion of the Property prior to
completion of the activities contemplated in the Business Plan,
whether development is proceeding in accordance with the Business
Plan or not, and if Developer is not then in default, Owner shall
provide to Developer all information concerning the proposed sale
including the desired price and terms thereof. Developer shall
have sixty (60) days thereafter within which to agree to purchase
the interest that owner proposes to offer (the "Offered
Interest") upon such price and terms (reduced by the amount of a
real estate brokerage commission that Owner would pay in a sale
to a third party) or such other price and terms as owner and
Developer may agree.
(C) Right Of First Refusal. If Developer and
Owner are unable to agree on a price and terms for the Offered
Interest pursuant to Section 25.2(A) above, then owner shall have
the right to sell the Offered Interest to any third person
without any further obligation to Developer thereafter so long as
the price and terms on which such sale is made are less favorable
to Owner by no greater than five percent (5%) of the price and
terms that were offered by Owner to Developer. If the price or
terms are less favorable to Owner by an amount equal to five
percent (5%) or greater, however, and if Developer is not then in
default, Owner shall so notify Developer in writing specifying
the price and terms upon which the interest is being so offered.
For a period of fifteen (15) days thereafter, Developer shall
have the preemptive right to purchase the Offered Interest on
said revised price and terms (reduced by the amount of any real
estate brokerage commission that owner will be required to pay in
any sale to a third party). Owner's notice to Developer
constitutes a binding and irrevocable offer that may be accepted
within such time period. If Developer fails to give notice of
such purchase within said fifteen (15) day period, then the
Offered Interest may be sold by Owner on terms no less favorable
to owner than those offered to Developer. If the Offered Interest
is not so sold thereafter, however, then the right of first
refusal provided for herein shall again reapply to any subsequent
proposal to sell the Offered Interest or any part thereof.
25.3 Notices. Any notices or demands given or made
under this Agreement or the other Project Documents shall be
deemed given or made when written, signed, and either personally
delivered or two (2) days after deposited in the U.S. mail,
postage prepaid, addressed to the parties as indicated below, or

modified by a written agreement signed by Owner and Developer. No
waiver of any right under this Agreement shall be valid unless
made in writing and signed by the party waiving the right.

between the terms of this Agreement and the terms of any other
Project Document, the terms of this Agreement shall control.

Project Documents shall constitute the entire agreement of the
parties with respect to the Project, and shall supersede all

binding, or enforceable.

is held invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement
shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect to the extent
that the same can be carried out in a manner consistent with the
intent of the parties.
25.8 Attorneys' Fees. Should any suit be instituted
in connection with this Agreement, the prevailing party in such
litigation shall be entitled to recover from the other party the
prevailing party's court costs and attorneys' fees incurred in
connection with such litigation.

participated equally in the drafting of this Agreement and the
other Project Documents based on the advice of their independent
counsel, and that Civil Code Section 1654 shall not apply to this
Agreement.

anything to the contrary herein contained, owner's execution
hereof shall be subject to ratification and approval by the Board
of Directors of Homestead Financial Corporation. owner shall
diligently seek such approval. If the Board does not so approve
execution hereof by owner within fourteen (14) calendar days from
the date hereof, by duly adopted resolution, then this Agreement
shall terminate and all obligations of the parties hereto shall
be null and void.
