3. ACQUISITION CORP.'S SOURCE OF FUNDS FOR DEVELOPMENT OF THE OPTION PARCELS AND
THE PROJECTS; LIMITATIONS ON THE OBLIGATION OF ACQUISITION CORP. TO FUND
DEVELOPMENT; MUTUALLY AGREED-UPON ABANDONMENT OF AN OPTION PARCEL OR PROJECT;
POSSIBLE NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FUNDING; PERSONAL GUARANTEES BY XXXXXX XXXX; RIGHTS
OF THE PARTIES IN THE EVENT FUNDS FOR DEVELOPMENT ARE INSUFFICIENT.
(a) Simultaneously with the execution of the Agreement, Acquisition
Corp. will endeavor to induce Primary Investors to invest Primary Invested Funds
in Acquisition Corp. so that Acquisition Corp. will have available the Minimum
Development Designated Funds to purchase and acquire Title to the Hebron
Premises and to fund the initial Development of the Hebron Project and the
initial Development of the Option Parcels.
(b) Thereafter, it is the expectation of the Parties that Acquisition
Corp. will have available Development Designated Funds in an amount sufficient
to continue to Develop the Option Parcels and the Projects.
(c) At least every 30 days, Acquisition Corp. shall endeavor to pay
(from Development Designated Funds only) the obligations incurred by the Parties
with respect to continuous Development of the Option Parcels and the Projects.
However, even if Acquisition Corp. were to receive money from Initial Investors
in excess of Development Designated Funds, Acquisition Corp. shall have no
obligation to, but may if it wishes, provide funding for Development from such
excess amounts.
(d) The Xxxx Entities understand and recognize that Development
Designated Funding might not be
5

available to Acquisition Corp. at all, and the Xxxx Entities also understand and
recognize that the amount of Development Designated Funds which may become
available to Acquisition Corp. may be less than what will be necessary to
complete Development of one or more Stages of the Development of one or more
given Option Parcels or Projects. Accordingly, once Acquisition Corp. becomes
aware that Development Designated Funding is not, or will no longer be,
available to it, Acquisition Corp. will give notice of such non-availability to
the Xxxx Entities immediately.
Furthermore, as set forth in Paragraph 15, Acquisition Corp. has the
right to discontinue Development of one or more Stages of the Development of one
or more given Option Parcels or Projects.
(e) Therefore, in the event that (a) Acquisition Corp. Becomes aware
that the amount of Development Designated Funds which may become available to
Acquisition Corp. may be less than what will be necessary to complete
Development of one or more Stages of the Development of one or more given Option
Parcels or Projects, or (b) at the completion of each Stage of the Development
of each Option Parcels or Projects, the Parties shall confer to determine which,
if any, Option Parcels or Projects should be abandoned or which, if any, Option
Parcels or Projects should continue to be Developed.
(f) If the Parties determine that one or more Option Parcels or
Projects should be abandoned, then Acquisition Corp. shall compute the Project
Profits (based on Gross Revenues from the entirety of the Real Estate, but with
Option Expenses and Project Expenses related to those particular pieces of Real
Estate) with respect to each of such to-be-abandoned piece of Real Estate, and,
thereafter, Acquisition Corp. shall forthwith distribute those Project Profits
in the manner set forth in Paragraph 15; provided however, that if any money is
owed to Acquisition Corp. by a given Xxxx Entity with respect to a given
selected Option Parcel or Project, then Acquisition Corp. shall have the rights
granted to it in Paragraphs 6 and 7.
(g) If the Parties determine that one or more Option Parcels or
Projects should be continued to be Developed, they shall select those Option
Parcels or Projects. In that event, the Xxxx Entities understand that it shall
be necessary to raise Secondary Investor Funding from Secondary Investors to
complete Development of one or more Stages of the Development of the selected
Option Parcels or Projects, and, therefore, the Xxxx Entities hereby undertake,
and declare it to be their responsibility, to seek and obtain such Secondary
Investor Funding from Secondary Investors. The Xxxx Entities will have 90 days
from the day they received the Notice of Non-Availability from Acquisition Corp.
to obtain Secondary Investor Funding from Secondary Investors in an amount
sufficient to complete Development of one or more Stages of the Development of
the selected Option Parcels or Projects.
(h) If the Xxxx Entities are successful in raising Secondary Investor
Funding in an amount sufficient to complete Development of one or more Stages of
the Development of the selected Option Parcels or Projects, then Acquisition
Corp. shall have the option of
(i) computing the Project Profits (based on Gross Revenues
from the entirety of the Real Estate, but with Option Expenses and Project
Expenses related to those particular pieces of Real Estate) with respect to said
pieces of Real Estate, and, thereafter, forthwith distributing those Project
Profits in the manner set forth in Paragraph 15; provided, however, that if any
money is owed to Acquisition Corp. by a given Xxxx
6
7
Entity with respect to a given selected Option Parcel or Project, then
Acquisition Corp. shall have the rights granted to it in Paragraphs 6 and 7; or
(ii) of staying on as a participant/investor on such terms and
conditions which may be negotiated with the Secondary Investors, the Xxxx
Entities, and Acquisition Corp.
(i) However, should Acquisition Corp. not have sufficient Development
Designated Funds available in amounts sufficient to complete Development of one
or more Stages of the Development of the selected Option Parcels or Projects,
and should the Xxxx Entities not be successful in raising Secondary Investor
Funding from Secondary Investors in an amount sufficient to Develop said given
Option Parcels or Projects, then Acquisition Corp. shall have the right, in its
absolute discretion, notwithstanding its obligations to the Xxxx Entities as set
forth in Paragraph 14 to refrain from acting capriciously, and, immediately,
Acquisition Corp. may:
(i) sell to a third-party (whether an Affiliate of Acquisition

owed to Acquisition Corp. by a given Xxxx Entity with respect to a given
selected Option Parcel or Project, then Acquisition Corp. shall have the rights
granted to it in Paragraphs 6 and 7; or
(iii) do any combination of the foregoing.
(j) If, for whatever reason, money is needed from a traditional
institutional mortgage lender (i.e., Mortgage Funds or Mortgage Funding) to
continue Development of one or more given Option Parcels or Projects, the Xxxx
Entities hereby undertake, and declare it to be their responsibility, to obtain
such Mortgage Funding, and, furthermore, the Xxxx Entities also agree that,
should it be necessary, Xxxxxx Xxxx will personally guarantee any such Mortgage
Funding.
(k) However, if Xxxxxx Xxxx is unable to obtain Mortgage Funding within
90 days after receipt of the Notice of Non-Availability from Acquisition Corp.,
then Acquisition Corp. shall have the right, in its absolute discretion,
notwithstanding its obligations to the Xxxx Entities as set forth in Paragraph
14 to refrain from acting capriciously, and, immediately Acquisition may:
(i) sell to a third-party (whether an Affiliate of
Acquisition Corp. or not) any of the subject Option Parcels, the Projects, or

(ii) compute the Project Profits (based on Gross Revenues from

Funding which is available so long as Xxxxxx Xxxx will personally guarantee the
debt, then the Xxxx Entities shall forfeit all rights to the subject Option
Parcels or Projects for which it was necessary to borrow the Mortgage Funding.
In this event, (and even though Development Designated Funds might not be
available), Acquisition Corp. shall have the right (drawing upon whatever other
resources it may have) to do as it sees fit with the subject Option Parcels or
Projects, including the rights to sell the subject Option Parcels or Projects to
anyone (including an Affiliate of Acquisition Corp.) or to develop the subject

(m) In the event that there is (x) insufficient Acquisition Corp.
Development Designated Funding, (y) insufficient Secondary Investor Funding, and

Development of one or more given Projects, then Acquisition Corp. shall compute
the Project Profits (based on Gross Revenues from the entirety of the Real

particular Projects) with respect to each of such Projects, and, thereafter,
Acquisition Corp. shall forthwith distribute those Project Profits in the manner
set forth in Paragraph 15; provided however, that if any money is owed to
Acquisition Corp. by a given Xxxx Entity with respect to a given Project, then
Acquisition Corp. shall have the rights granted to it in Paragraphs 6 and 7.
4. PROCEDURE FOR REPAYMENT OF ACQUISITION CORP.'S OPTION ADVANCES.
(a) Repayment of these Acquisition Corp. Option Advances, and any
future ones, shall be the respective debt obligations to Acquisition Corp. of
each of the Xxxx Entities which receives an Acquisition Corp. Option Advance.

which receives an Acquisition Corp. Option Advance shall and fill-in, and
execute, on a continuous basis, the Acquisition Corp. Option Advance Ledger in
the places indicated as shown on the format attached hereto as SCHEDULE D -
ACQUISITION CORP. OPTION ADVANCES LEDGER. Thus, it is the understanding and
agreement of the Parties that,
(i) rather than having each Xxxx Entity, e.g., Watertown, New
Milford, etc., execute a new and separate promissory note to evidence its debt
to Acquisition Corp. each time a new Acquisition Corp. Option Advance is made to
any one of them, then Watertown, New Milford, etc., shall, each time any one of
them receives an Acquisition Corp. Option Advance from Acquisition Corp., enter
the amount advanced in the space provided for in SCHEDULE D - ACQUISITION CORP.
OPTION ADVANCE LEDGER; and acknowledge the debt by executing the Schedule on the
place provided; and
(ii) that figure, when added to prior, unpaid Acquisition
Corp. Option Advances, shall

evidence the money owed (plus interest to accrue on the unpaid balance at 8% PER
ANNUM) by said Xxxx Entity to Acquisition Corp., as if the accumulated unpaid
balance were to have been evidenced by a series of traditional promissory notes
in favor of Acquisition Corp. from said Xxxx Entity.
5. SECURITY FOR REPAYMENT OF THE ACQUISITION CORP. OPTION ADVANCES.
As security for the repayment of the Acquisition Corp. Option Advances
to be made at the Hebron Closing, and as security for the repayment of any
future ones, once a given Acquisition Corp. Option Advance has been made by
Acquisition Corp. to a given Xxxx Entity, then that Xxxx Entity shall
simultaneously assign and convey its Option on and to the subject Option Parcel
to Acquisition Corp., and, until the Acquisition Corp. Option Advance with
respect to that Option Parcel has been repaid, the Option with respect thereto
shall be the property of Acquisition Corp.
6. PROCEDURE FOR REPAYMENT OF THE ACQUISITION CORP. OPTION ADVANCES.
(a) If, for whatever reason, Acquisition Corp. does not make, or does
not continue to make, the Acquisition Corp. Option Advances with respect to a
given Option Parcel, then Development of that Option Parcel shall cease
forthwith, and, with respect to said given Option Parcel, the Acquisition Corp.
Option Advances and the Xxxx Entities Option Advances (if any are made up to
that date shall be calculated, as shall the difference between the Acquisition
Corp. Option Advances and the Xxxx Entities Option Advances (the "Option Advance
Difference Balance").
(b) If the Option Advance Difference Balance is in favor of Acquisition
Corp. with respect to said given Option Parcel, then Acquisition Corp. shall be
entitled (but not be required) to withdraw and retain from Gross Revenues from
all of the Real Estate, to the extent that Gross Revenues are sufficiently
large, a sum equal to the Option Advance Difference Balance in its (Acquisition
Corp.'s) favor, with respect to said given Option Parcel. In such event,
Acquisition Corp. shall return the Option in question to the Xxxx Entities,
which may then may do as they see fit with the Option in question, including

Option Parcel by themselves and retaining all revenues and income therefrom for

(c) However, to the extent that the Option Advance Difference Balance
in favor of Acquisition Corp., with respect to said given Option Parcel, is
greater than then existing amount of Gross Revenues, then the Xxxx Entities
shall be indebted to Acquisition Corp. for the difference between (y) the Option
Advance Difference Balance in favor of Acquisition Corp. and (z) then existing
Gross Revenues. In that event, Acquisition Corp. shall be entitled to continue
to retain possession of the Option in question as security for the difference
between (y) and (z), above, which shall be a secured debt owed by the Xxxx
Entities to Acquisition Corp. Furthermore, unless the Xxxx Entities pay this
debt within 90 days after the day Acquisition Corp. discontinued making the
Acquisition Corp. Option Advances with respect to the subject Option Parcel,
then Acquisition Corp. may do as it sees fit with the Option in question,
including selling it, allowing it to lapse, or exercising it and developing the
subject Option Parcel by itself and retaining all revenues and income therefrom
for itself.
9
10
(d) However, if the Xxxx Entities pay this debt within said 90 day
period, then Acquisition Corp. shall return the Option in question to the Xxxx
Entities, and the Xxxx Entities may do as they see fit with the Option in
question, including selling it, allowing it to lapse, or exercising it and
developing the subject Option Parcel by themselves and retaining all revenues
and income therefrom for themselves.
(e) If, on the other hand, the Option Advance Difference Balance is in
favor of the Xxxx Entities, with respect to said given Option Parcel, then the
Xxxx Entities shall be entitled to receive from Gross Revenues from all of the
Real Estate, to the extent that Gross Revenues are sufficiently large, a sum
equal to the Option Advance Difference Balance in its (the Xxxx Entities's)
favor, with respect to said given Option Parcel. In that event, the Xxxx
Entities shall first pay to Acquisition Corp. the amount of the Acquisition
Corp. Option Advances with respect to said given Option Parcel made up to that
date, and, thereupon, Acquisition Corp. shall return the Option in question to
the Xxxx Entities, which may then may do as it they see fit with the Option in
question, including selling it, allowing it to lapse, or exercising it and
developing the subject Option Parcel by themselves and retaining all revenues
and income therefrom for themselves.
(f) However, to the extent that the Option Advance Difference Balance
in favor of the Xxxx Entities, with respect to said given Option Parcel, is
greater than then existing amount of Gross Revenues, then Acquisition Corp.
shall be indebted to the Xxxx Entities for the difference between (y) the Option
Advance Difference Balance in favor of the Xxxx Entities and (z) then existing
Gross Revenues. Unless Acquisition Corp. pays this debt within 90 days after the
day Acquisition Corp. discontinues making the Acquisition Corp. Option Advances
with respect to the subject Option Parcel, then Acquisition Corp. shall return
the Option in question to the Xxxx Entities, which may then may do as they see
fit with the Option in question, including selling it, allowing it to lapse, or
exercising it and developing the subject Option Parcel by themselves and
retaining all revenues and income therefrom for themselves.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing subparagraphs of this Paragraph 6, if
Acquisition Corp. exercises its rights, as set forth in Paragraph 3(i)(i) or
Paragraph 3(k), to sell the Option in question to a third-party, and said
third-party purchases the Option in question, then the Xxxx Entities shall
forfeit any rights they have to redeem the Option in question, and Acquisition
Corp. shall not be required to re-transfer the Option in question to the Xxxx
Entities.
7. PROCEDURE FOR REPAYMENT OF PROJECT ADVANCES.
(a) If, for whatever reason, Acquisition Corp. does not make, or does
not continue to make, the Acquisition Corp. Project Advances with respect to a
given Project (including the Hebron Project), then Development of that Project

Corp. Project Advances and the Xxxx Entities Project Advances (if any) made up
to that date shall be calculated, as shall the difference between the
Acquisition Corp. Project Advances and the Xxxx Entities Project Advances (the

given Project is in favor of Acquisition Corp.,then Acquisition Corp. shall be
entitled (but not be required) to withdraw and retain from Gross Revenues

and retaining all revenues and income therefrom for themselves.
(c) However, to the extent that the Project Advance Difference Balance

then existing amount of Gross Revenues, then the Xxxx Entities shall be indebted
to Acquisition Corp. for the difference between (y) the Project Advance
Difference Balance in favor of Acquisition Corp. and (z) then existing Gross
Revenues. In that event, Acquisition Corp. shall be entitled to continue to
retain possession of the Project in question as security for the difference
between (y) and (z), above, which shall be a secured debt owed by the Xxxx
Entities to Acquisition Corp. Furthermore, unless the Xxxx Entities pay this
debt within 90 days after the day Acquisition Corp. discontinues making the

favor with respect to said given Project. In that event, the Xxxx Entities shall
