CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE
AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE
THIS CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE AND SALE OF REAL ESTATE (this “Contract”) is entered into as of the last date of the signatures hereto (the “Effective Date”), by and between PCY HOLDINGS, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company (“Seller”), and MERITAGE HOMES OF COLORADO, INC., an Arizona
corporation (“Purchaser”).
RECITALS:
A. Seller is developing a master planned residential community known as “Sky Ranch” which is located in Arapahoe County, Colorado (“County”). The Sky Ranch master planned residential community may also be referred to herein as the “Development”. The conceptual development plan and lotting diagram for Phase B
of the Development (the “Lotting Diagram”) are attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference. The Development is being platted in
several subdivision filings and developed in phases. Each subdivision filing is hereinafter sometimes respectively referred to as a “Filing” and collectively as “Filings”.
B. Seller desires to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser desires to purchase and obtain from Seller, approximately 218 platted single family residential lots (individually referred to as a “Lot” and collectively as the “Lots”) in the Development which will be finished in accordance with this Contract and which will be used for the construction of
single family residential dwellings upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Contract.
C. Seller is selling platted residential lots within the Development to multiple homebuilders, including Purchaser. The Lots to be sold by Seller and acquired by Purchaser that are located within the
Development shall be hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Property.” The Lots will be conveyed at one or more Closings as more particularly provided herein and each such Closing may be referred
to herein as a “Takedown.” The Lots which are to be conveyed at the first Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 1 Lots”;
the Lots which are to be conveyed at the second Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 2 Lots”; the Lots which are to be conveyed at the third Closing shall be
sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 3 Lots”; and the Lots which are to be conveyed at the fourth Closing shall be sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Takedown 4 Lots”.
D. As of the Effective Date, the Lots have not been subdivided pursuant to a recorded final subdivision plat. The number and location of the Lots to be acquired by Purchaser are
generally depicted on the Lotting Diagram. The precise number, dimension and location of the Lots will be established at the time the subdivision plat for such Lots is approved by the County and/or any other relevant governmental authority (the
County any other governmental entity or authority may be referred to herein collectively as the “Authorities”, and each an “Authority”). As of the
Effective Date, the parties anticipate that Purchaser will acquire approximately:
| • |
102 Lots that are a minimum of 22 feet wide by a minimum of 90 feet deep for the construction of alley loaded townhomes (“Townhome Lots”); and
|
1
| • |
116 Lots that are a minimum of 45 feet wide by a minimum of 110 feet deep for the construction of detached single family homes (“SFD 45’ Lots”).
|
E. Following Purchaser’s acquisition of Lots, Seller will construct certain infrastructure improvements for the Lots as described on Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Finished Lot Improvements”) pursuant to a lot development agreement executed by Seller and Purchaser in the form set forth on Exhibit E (“Lot Development Agreement”).
AGREEMENT:
The Property shall be purchased at four (4) Closings. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Contract, Seller agrees to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser agrees to purchase from Seller, on or
before the dates set forth in Section 6(b) below, the Lots in each Takedown, as generally depicted on the Lotting Diagram and as follows:
At the Takedown 1 Closing (“First Closing”), twenty-four (24) Townhome Lots and thirty (30) SFD 45’ Lots;
At the Takedown 2 Closing (“Second Closing”), eighteen (18) Townhome Lots and forty-six (46) SFD 45’ Lots;
At the Takedown 3 Closing (“Third Closing”), twenty-eight (28) Townhome Lots and twenty-four (24) SFD 45’ Lots; and
At the Takedown 4 Closing (“Fourth Closing”), thirty-two (32) Townhome Lots and sixteen (16) SFD 45’ Lots.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Parties shall negotiate during the Due Diligence Period to reach agreement on a mutually acceptable site plan for
the Lots (“Final Lotting Diagram”) and that the exact number and location of the Lots within each Takedown are subject to adjustment based upon the approval by the Authorities of the Final Plat (as
hereinafter defined) that includes the Lots to be acquired by Purchaser at each Takedown. The precise number, dimension (subject to the provisions of this Contract), location and legal description of the Lots will be established at the time the
Final Plat for such Lots is approved by the County and/or any other Authority, and upon approval of each such Final Plat the parties shall execute an amendment to this Contract setting forth the legal description of those Lots included in the
approved Final Plat. Notwithstanding anything in this Contract to the contrary, if, for any Takedown anticipated hereunder the Final Approval of the Final Plat therefor establishes a total number of Lots to be acquired at such Takedown which is five
percent (5%) less than the total Lot count identified for such Takedown in the Final Lotting Diagram approved by Purchaser prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract by delivery of written notice
to Seller, in which event that portion of the Deposit not previously applied at a Closing shall be returned to Purchaser, and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations under this Contract, except those that expressly survive such
termination.
2. Purchase Price.The purchase price to be paid by Purchaser to Seller for each Lot (the “Purchase Price”) shall consist of the Initial Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined) and the Deferred Purchase Price (as hereinafter defined). The Purchase Price for each Lot shall be calculated as
provided in the following Section 2(a) and shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(b) below:
2
(a) Purchase Price Payments. For each Lot the Purchase Price shall be the sum of the “Initial Purchase Price” of
(i) Twenty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($27,500.00) per Townhome Lot, and (ii) Forty-Two Thousand Five and 00/100 Dollars ($42,500.00) per SFD 45’ Lot, paid by Purchaser to Seller by wire transfer or other immediately available and
collectible funds (“Good Funds”), and the “Deferred Purchase Price” of (A) Twenty-Seven Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($27,500.00) per Townhome
Lot, and (B) Forty-Two Thousand Five Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($42,500.00) per SFD 45’ Lot, paid by Purchaser to Seller in Good Funds, for a total of (1) Fifty-Five Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($55,000.00) per Townhome Lot, and (2) Eighty-Five
Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($85,000.00) per SFD 45’ Lot (subject to adjustment as hereinafter provided in Section 2(b) of this Contract). The Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots acquired by Purchaser at each Closing shall be paid in accordance
with the provisions set forth in Section 5(c) hereof and the Lot Development Agreement, and Purchaser’s obligation to pay the Deferred Purchase Price shall be evidenced by a promissory note in the amount of the Deferred Purchase Price due at such
Closing (“DP Note”) which shall be secured by a deed of trust (“DP Deed of Trust”) to be recorded in the Records at Closing against title to the Lots
purchased at such Closing. The form of the DP Note and the DP Deed of Trust shall be agreed upon by the Parties not more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date hereof.
(b) Purchase Price Escalator. Any and all portions of the Purchase Price to be paid for any Lot acquired
after the occurrence of the First Closing will increase by an amount equal to the amount of simple interest that would accrue thereon for the period elapsing between the date that the First Closing occurs until the date such amount is paid, at a per
annum rate equal to four percent (4%) per annum (the “Escalator”); provided, however, that the Escalator shall cease to accrue against the Deferred Purchase Price due for any Lot upon the Closing Date
therefor. By way of example and for clarification purposes only, if the Purchase Price for a Lot at the First Closing is $85,000 then at the Second Closing occurring 12 months (365 days) thereafter the Purchase Price for the same type of Lot will be
$88,400.00 (calculated as follows: $85,000 + ($85,000 x .04) = $88,400.00), with the Initial Purchase Price due at the Second Closing being equal to one-half of such Purchase Price (i.e., $44,200.00, which is inclusive of the applicable Escalator
calculated through the date of such Second Closing), and the Deferred Purchase Price for such Lot, due in accordance with Section 5(c) and the Lot Development Agreement, will be equal to one-half of such Purchase Price (i.e., $44,200.00, which is
inclusive of the applicable Escalator calculated through the date of such Second Closing). The Escalator shall not accrue or be calculated during extension periods under Section 5(a)(i).
3. Payment of Purchase Price. The Purchase Price for each of the Lots, as determined pursuant to Section 2 above,
shall be payable as follows:
3
(a) Xxxxxxx Money Deposit. Within three (3) business days following the Effective Date, Purchaser shall deliver to the Title Company (as defined in Section
4(a) hereof) an xxxxxxx money deposit in the amount of $232,050.00 (the “Initial Deposit”). At the end of the Due Diligence Period and within three (3) business days after delivery of the
Continuation Notice (as hereinafter defined), Purchaser shall deliver to Title Company an additional deposit in the amount of $232,050.00 (the “Additional Deposit”) The Initial Deposit and the Additional
Deposit and all interest earned thereon shall be referred to herein as the “Deposit”. The Title Company will act as escrow agent and invest the xxxxxxx money deposit in a federally insured institution
at the highest money market rate available. The Deposit shall be paid in Good Funds. The Deposit shall be applied on a pro-rata basis to the Initial Purchase Price due at each Closing. If this Contract is terminated prior to the expiration of the
Due Diligence Period for any reason, the Initial Deposit shall be refunded to Purchaser. If this Contract is terminated after the Due Diligence Period and prior to the Deposit being fully applied to the Purchase Price at the last Closing, the
unapplied portion of the Deposit shall be paid to Seller, except in the case of a termination of this Contract pursuant to a provision that expressly entitles Purchaser to a refund of the Deposit as provided elsewhere herein.
(b) Initial Purchase Price. That portion of the Purchase Price for each Lot that is identified as the Initial Purchase Price and calculated as provided in
Section 2 above shall be paid by Purchaser to Seller in Good Funds at the Closing that is applicable to the Lot.
(c) Deferred Purchase Price. That portion of the Purchase Price for each Lot that is identified as the Deferred Purchase Price in Section 2 above is due and
payable by Purchaser to Seller, as provided in and pursuant to the terms of the Lot Development Agreement.
4
(a) Preliminary Title Commitment. Within ten (10) business days after the Effective Date, Seller shall
furnish to Purchaser, at Seller’s expense, a current commitment for a Title Policy (as defined below) for the Property (the “Master Commitment”) issued by Land Title Guarantee Company (“Title Company”) as agent for First American Title Insurance Company, together with copies of the instruments listed in the schedule of exceptions in the Master Commitment. If the Master Commitment or Survey
discloses any matters which are unacceptable to Purchaser, then Purchaser shall object to the condition of the Master Commitment and/or the Survey, in writing, within sixty (60) days after the later of the Effective Date and the date of Purchaser’s
receipt of the Survey and Master Commitment together with copies of all documents constituting exceptions to title (the “Title Objections”). Upon receipt of the Title Objections, Seller may, at its
option and at its sole cost and expense, clear the title to the Property of the Title Objections. In the event Seller fails, or elects not to clear the title to the Property of the Title Objections on or before the date that is one (1) day before
the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Purchaser, as its sole remedy, may elect before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period either: (i) to terminate this Contract, in which event the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to
Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property and any non-confidential and non-proprietary information otherwise obtained by Purchaser pertaining to the
Property, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract except as otherwise provided in Section 12(c) below; or (ii) to waive such objections and proceed with the transactions contemplated by this
Contract, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the title matters as to which its Title Objections have been waived. If Purchaser fails to provide the Title Objections prior to the expiration of the sixty (60) day period required
by this Section 4(a), Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its objections as described in the preceding clause. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of its election to terminate this Contract or waive it objections, Purchaser shall be
deemed to have elected to waive the Title Objections that Seller has failed or elected not to cure. Seller shall release at or prior to the applicable Closing any monetary lien that Seller or any affiliate of Seller caused or created against the
Property with respect to that portion of the Property to be acquired at a particular Closing other than non-delinquent real estate taxes and assessments and Permitted Exceptions, and such monetary liens shall not constitute Permitted Exceptions (as
hereinafter defined). At each Closing, without the need for Purchaser to object to the same in Purchaser’s Title Objections, Seller shall execute and deliver the Title Company’s standard form mechanic’s lien affidavit (the “Lien Affidavit”) in connection with the standard printed exception for liens arising against the Lots purchased at the Closing for work or materials ordered or contracted for by Seller, and to the extent required by the Title
Company a commercially reasonable indemnity agreement (the “Title Company Indemnity”), provided, however, if Purchaser determines during the Due Diligence Period that the Title Company refuses or is
unwilling to delete the standard printed exception for liens as part of extended coverage despite Seller’s offer to execute and deliver the Lien Affidavit and Title Company Indemnity, then Purchaser will have the right to terminate this Contract on
or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period whereupon the Initial Deposit will be returned to Purchaser, or Purchaser may proceed with the Closing in which event the Title Policy will contain, and the Lots will be conveyed subject to, the
standard printed exception for liens unless the Title Company agrees thereafter to delete such lien exception, however, the Purchaser shall have no further termination rights if the Title Company does not agree to do so. If the Title Company agrees
during the Due Diligence Period to delete the standard printed exception for liens as part of extended coverage and thereafter the Title Company refuses to delete the exception for liens based on Seller’s commitment to execute and deliver the Lien
Affidavit and Title Company Indemnity, then such exception shall be deemed a Non-Seller Caused Exception (as hereinafter defined) to which Purchaser shall have the right to object pursuant to Section 4(b). Seller shall request that the Takedown
Commitment (as hereinafter defined) provide for the deletion of the other standard printed exceptions from the Title Policy (provided that Seller’s only obligations with respect thereto shall be (i) to provide a copy of Seller’s existing survey (“Survey”), if any, of the land that contains the Lots; (ii) to obtain and furnish, at Purchaser’s sole cost and expense, a plat certification issued by a licensed surveyor in a form acceptable to the Title
Company in order to delete the standard survey exceptions (“Plat Certificate”) if and to the extent a Plat Certificate is required by the Title Company to delete such standard survey exceptions; (iii) to
execute the Title Company’s standard form seller-owner final affidavit and agreement as reasonably modified by Seller and as to Seller’s acts only, if such affidavit is required by the Title Company for the purpose of deleting any exception for
parties in possession or other standard exception (“Owner’s Affidavit”); and (iv) to execute the Title Company’s Lien Affidavit with respect to Seller’s acts, in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Seller). Seller has no obligation to update the Survey or to provide a new survey.
5
(b) Subsequently Disclosed Exceptions. Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the each Closing, Purchaser may request that the
Title Company issue an updated title commitment for that portion of the Property to be acquired at such Closing (each a “Takedown Commitment”), together with copies of any additional instruments listed
in the schedule of exceptions which are not reflected in the Master Commitment furnished pursuant to Section 4(a) above or in any prior Takedown Commitment. Additional items disclosed by a Takedown Commitment or by an amendment to the Master
Commitment that affect title to the Property are referred to as “New Exceptions”. New Exceptions affecting title to the Property that are expressly permitted or contemplated by the provisions of this
Contract are referred to as “Permissible New Exceptions” and all other New Exceptions are referred to as “Other New Exceptions”. Purchaser has no right to
object to any Permissible New Exception. Other New Exceptions which do not materially adversely affect title, use, or construction of Homes on any of the Lots to be acquired at such Closing shall also be Permissible New Exceptions. Purchaser shall
have a period of seven (7) business days from the date of its receipt of such Takedown Commitment or amendment to the Master Commitment and a copy of the New Exceptions (the “New Exception Review Period”)
to review and to approve or disapprove any Other New Exceptions. If any Other New Exception is unacceptable to Purchaser, Purchaser shall object to such Other New Exception(s) in writing within seven (7) business days after the date of Purchaser’s
receipt of the Takedown Commitment, together with a copy of the New Exceptions (the “New Exception Objection”). Upon receipt of the New Exception Objection, Seller shall cure the New Exception Objection
(by deletion, insuring over or endorsement) to the extent that such Other New Exception was caused or created by Seller or affiliates of Seller and is not otherwise expressly permitted or contemplated by this Contract (“Seller Caused Exception”). If the New Exception Objection relates to an Other New Exception that was not caused by Seller (“Non-Seller Caused Exception”), Seller may, at its sole
discretion, cure the New Exception Objection, within fifteen (15) days of receipt of the New Exception Objection (“Seller Cure Period”) and the applicable Closing Date will be extended to accommodate the
Seller Cure Period. In the event Seller fails, or elects not to cure a Non-Seller Caused Exception within such fifteen (15) day period, the Purchaser, as its sole remedy, may elect within five (5) business days after the end of the Seller Cure
Period either: (i) to terminate this Contract as to the Lots affected by such New Exception, in which event the prorata portion of the Deposit for such Lots shall be refunded to Purchaser and the parties shall have no further rights or obligations
under this Contract as to such Lots; or (ii) to waive such objection and proceed with the acquisition of the Lots in such Takedown, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the New Exception. If Purchaser fails to notify Seller of
its election to terminate this Contract as to the applicable Lots in accordance with the foregoing sentences within five (5) business days after the expiration of the Seller Cure Period (i) Purchaser shall be deemed to have elected to waive its
objections as described in the preceding sentences and (ii) all such items shall be deemed to be Permitted Exceptions.
(c) Permitted Exceptions; Additional Easements. Seller shall convey title to the Lots included in each Takedown of the Property to Purchaser at the Closing for
such Takedown subject to the Permitted Exceptions described in Section 9 hereof. Prior to each Closing, Seller shall have the right, subject to the limitations set forth below, and those Reservations and Covenants (as hereinafter defined) as
set forth on Exhibit B, attached hereto, and provided Seller shall advise and provide copies of same to Purchaser promptly after Seller becomes aware of same, to convey additional easements as Permissible New
Exceptions to utility and cable service providers, governmental or quasi-governmental Authorities, metropolitan, water and sanitation districts, homeowners associations or property owners associations or other entities that serve the Development or
adjacent property for construction of utilities and other facilities to support the Development or such adjacent property, including but not limited to sanitary sewer, water lines, electric, cable, broad-band and telephone transmission, storm
drainage and construction access easements across the Property not yet acquired by Purchaser, allowing Seller or its assignees the right to install and maintain sanitary sewer, water lines, cable television, broad-band, electric, telephone and other
utilities on the Property and on the adjacent property owned by Seller and/or its affiliates, and further, to accommodate storm drainage from the adjacent property. Such easements shall require the restoration of any surface damage or disturbance
caused by the exercise of such easements, shall not be located within the building envelope of any Lot, shall not materially detract from the building envelope, value, use, or enjoyment of (i) the Lots affected or the remaining portion of the
Property on which such easements are to be located, or (ii) any adjoining property of Purchaser.
6
(d) Master Covenants; Regional Improvements Authority. The Lots to be acquired pursuant to this Contract shall be, prior to each
Closing, made subject to the Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Sky Ranch recorded in the County Records on August 10, 2018, at Reception No. D8079588 (the “Master Declaration”). The Master
Declaration, together with any supplemental declarations which have been, or may in the future be, recorded against the Property, shall be collectively referred to as the “Master Covenants”. The Master
Covenants are administered by the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board (“CAB”) and shall be a Permitted Exception (as hereinafter defined). Seller shall provide to Purchaser for its review, a copy of the
Master Covenants as part of the Seller Documents (as hereinafter defined). Seller shall be permitted to revise or supplement the Master Covenants at any time before the First Closing under this Contract without the consent of Purchaser but with
prior notice and copies of same to Purchaser; provided, that any such revision has no material adverse effect on the Lots acquired or to be acquired by Purchaser. The Seller may petition the County for the organization of
a public improvement district pursuant to C.R.S. Title 30, Article 20 (the “Public Improvement District” or “PID”), or one or more public entities,
including without limitation, the Sky Ranch Districts, CAB, and County may enter into an intergovernmental agreement pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 29-1-203 and – 203.5 to create a public authority (the “Regional
Improvements Authority”) to provide a source of funding for the construction and operation of certain regional public improvements serving the Development and other properties, including without limitation, the freeway interchange at
Interstate I-70/Airpark Frontage Road adjacent to the Development and other regional improvements (collectively, the “Regional Improvements”). The PID, if formed, may pledge revenues and/or issue
general obligation indebtedness, revenue bonds or special assessment bonds and will have the power to levy and collect ad valorem taxes on and against all taxable property within the PID in accordance with the provisions of part 5 of C.R.S. Title 30,
Article 20. If and to the extent that Seller petitions the County and the County organizes a PID that includes the Development, Purchaser agrees that it will not object to the County’s organization of any such PID. The
Regional Improvements Authority, if created, may use revenue generated by the Sky Ranch Districts’ imposition of a mill levy that is a subset of the Sky Ranch Districts’ operations and maintenance mill levy to plan, design, acquire, construct,
install, relocate and/or redevelop, and the administration, overhead and operations and maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Regional Improvements (the “Regional Improvements Mill Levy”). The
Regional Improvements Mill Levy shall be calculated as the difference between the overlapping mill levies of property subject to the Aurora Public Schools mill levy (“APS Mill Levy”) and the overlapping
mill levies of property not subject to the APS Mill Levy. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Purchaser may object if any proposal may exceed the Maximum Xxxxx Limitation (hereafter defined) and (ii) regardless of whether or not Purchaser objects,
Purchaser shall not be deemed to consent to or approve, and all PID documentation, coupled and aggregated with any and all other documentation relating to the District (hereafter defined), the other Sky Ranch Districts (hereafter defined), and the
Regional Improvements Authority (such documentation being collectively referred to as, the “District Documentation”) shall only be permitted to levy and collect in the aggregate amounts that do not
exceed the lesser of: (i) the total mill levy assessed against a residential lot that is subject to the APS Mill Levy; and (ii) up to 55.664 xxxxx (subject to “Xxxxxxxxx Adjustments”) commencing with the
residential assessment rate as of January 1, 2021 for debt service, and up to 11.133 xxxxx for operation and maintenance (also subject to Xxxxxxxxx Adjustments) (collectively, the “Maximum Xxxxx Limitation”).
Seller shall be solely liable for and shall pay (i) any ad valorem taxes levied by any district or other entity in excess of the Maximum Xxxxx Limitation, and (ii) any other rates, tolls, fees or charges adopted by any such district or other entity
and this obligation of Seller shall survive all Closings for the benefit of Purchaser and all successor Lot owners.
7
(e) Title Policy. Within a reasonable time after each Closing, Seller, at its expense, shall cause the Title Company to deliver a Form 2006 ALTA extended
coverage owner’s policy of title insurance (“Title Policy”), insuring Purchaser’s title to the Property conveyed at such Closing, pursuant to the applicable Takedown Commitment and subject only to the
Permitted Exceptions, together with such endorsements as Purchaser may request and which the Title Company agrees to issue during the Due Diligence Period, and shall pay the premium for the basic policy at such Closing. The Title Policy shall
provide insurance in an amount equal to the Purchase Price for all Lots purchased at such Closing. At each Closing, Seller shall execute and deliver a Lien Affidavit and an Owner’s Affidavit, and shall obtain and furnish a Plat Certificate, as
necessary, at least one (1) business day prior to such Closing. Purchaser shall pay any fees charged by the Title Company to delete the standard pre-printed exceptions. Purchaser shall pay for the premiums for any endorsements requested by
Purchaser, except that Seller shall pay for any endorsements that Seller agrees to provide in order to cure a Title Objection.
8
(i) Platting and Entitlements. Seller shall be responsible, at Seller’s sole cost and expense, for preparing and processing in a commercially reasonable manner and timeframe, and

(D) an administrative site plan (“ASP”) and final subdivision plat (or plats) for each Filing within the Property (each a “Final Plat”); (E) the public
improvement construction plans for all improvements relating to each Final Plat (“CDs”); and (F) one or more development or subdivision improvement agreements associated with the Final Plats and other
similar documentation required by the Authorities in connection with approval of the Final Plat(s) and CDs (collectively, the “Entitlements”). The Entitlements shall substantially comply with the Final
Lotting Diagram, and shall provide that Phase B of the Development contains approximately 834 lots with the Lots being of the number, type, and dimension as set forth above in Recital D (after taking into consideration applicable setbacks), and the
Entitlements shall not impose new or additional requirements upon Purchaser which increase (or could be expected to increase) the construction cost for a Home on any Lot by more than $3,000 or which materially adversely affect title, use, or
construction of such Home or the Lot on which it is located. Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Entitlements for each Takedown, respectively, approved by the Authorities and recorded as necessary in the County Records with
all applicable governmental or third-party appeal and/or challenge periods applicable to an approval decision of the County Board of Commissioners or County Planning Commission having expired without any appeal then-pending prior to the respective
Closing (“Final Approval”). Seller shall use commercially reasonably efforts to obtain Final Approval of the Entitlements applicable to the Takedown 1 Lots on or before that date which is nine (9)
months after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, as such period may be extended pursuant to this Section 5(a), or as a result of delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events. If Final Approval of the Entitlements applicable to the Takedown 1
Lots has not been achieved as aforesaid on or before nine (9) months after the expiration of the Due Diligence Period (subject to delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events), then either party, in its discretion, shall have the right to extend the
date for obtaining such Final Approval for a period not to exceed an additional six (6) months by providing written notice to the other party prior to the expiration of such nine (9) month period (or such later date as the same may have been
previously extended). If Seller has not secured such Final Approval of the Takedown 1 Lots by the expiration of the initial nine (9) month period (subject to delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events) and neither party exercises such extension,
each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities under this Contract, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. If either party extends the time period for obtaining Final
Approval of the Takedown 1 Lots, then during such extended time period Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Final Approval of such Entitlements, and failing which, Seller shall not be in default of its obligations under this
Contract (unless Seller failed to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain Final Approval of such Entitlements), but this Contract shall terminate in which case each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities
under this Contract, except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser. During the Entitlement process, Seller shall keep Purchaser reasonably informed of the process and the anticipated results therefrom and Seller
will provide Purchaser with copies of those Entitlement documents as submitted to the County and other reasonable documentation relating to the same. Purchaser, at no material cost to Purchaser (other than costs incurred to obtain services that
could reasonably be performed or provided in-house), shall cooperate with Seller in Seller’s efforts to obtain Final Approval of the Entitlements by the County.
(i) Lot Minimums for each Takedown. The Final Plat(s) for the Property and the Lots shall be in a form which is substantially consistent with the Final Lotting Diagram, subject to
immaterial changes made necessary by the Authorities and/or final engineering decisions which are necessary to properly engineer, design, and install the improvements in accordance with the requirements of the County and other applicable Authorities.
9
(ii) Recordation of Final Plat. At or before each Closing, Seller shall cause to be recorded, in the County
Records, the Final Plat that includes the Lots that are to be purchased at such Closing. Seller shall be responsible for providing to the County any bond or other financial assurance that is required by the
County to record each Final Plat.
(b) Interchange Obligations. As of the Effective Date, the existing entitlements for the Development state that no more than 774 building permits may be issued
for the Development until the Freeway Interchange is upgraded (“BP Restriction”). If not rescinded, the BP Restriction may affect the ability of Purchaser and the other builders within Phase B to obtain
building permits on the Lots acquired after the First Closing under this Contract and after the initial closings under the other builder contracts. Seller is currently working with the County, CDOT, and other stakeholders to identify interim
upgrades to the Freeway Interchange that, if implemented, would increase the number of building permits available within the Development to accommodate all Lots subject to this Contract and the other building contracts within Phase B (the “Interchange Upgrades”).
(i) At the First Closing, Purchaser and Seller shall enter into the Lot Development Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit E, regarding
Seller’s obligations to construct and install the Finished Lot Improvements as described on Exhibit C attached hereto.
(ii) The Lot Development Agreement includes, without limitation, provisions that provide for the following: (A) the payment of the Deferred Purchase Price by
Purchaser as follows: for each Takedown, one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots in that Phase shall be paid to Seller upon Substantial Completion of that portion of the Finished Lot Improvements consisting of the water, sanitary sewer
and storm sewer infrastructure that is necessary to serve the Lots in that Phase, and the remaining one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price for the Lots in that Phase shall be paid to Seller upon Substantial Completion of the balance of Finished Lot
Improvements that serve that Phase to the extent necessary to obtain building permits; (B) Seller’s and/or the District’s obligation to post surety as required by the County in connection with such Phases; (C) provisions regarding Seller’s and/or the
District’s agreements with the contractors who will construct the Finished Lot Improvements; (D) Seller’s and/or the District’s warranty obligations, as provided on Exhibit C; (E) Seller’s obligation to obtain

improvements to be constructed under the Lot Development Agreement that serve or benefit the Lots and other property that is to be acquired by such other builder(s) (the “Joint Improvements”) and the
Title Company will, at the Takedown 1 Closing execute a “Joint Improvements Memorandum” that describes the rights and obligations of Seller, Purchaser, such other builder(s) and Title Company and such
document will supplement the Lot Development Agreement regarding the installation and construction of any Joint Improvements. The form of the Joint Improvements Memorandum is attached to the Lot Development Agreement as Exhibit F thereto.
10
(iii) After obtaining Final Approval of all necessary Entitlements for the applicable Lots, Seller acting as the Constructing Party (as defined in the Lot Development Agreement) under the Lot
Development Agreement shall commence and diligently pursue Substantial Completion, or cause to be Substantially Completed, for the Lots being purchased and acquired by Purchaser at each Closing (subject to delays resulting from Uncontrollable Events)
the Finished Lot Improvements in accordance with the phasing, provisions and schedules of the Lot Development Agreement and all applicable laws, codes, regulations and governmental requirements for the Lots. Seller will notify Purchaser when each
phase of the Finished Lot Improvements (have been Substantially Completed. Seller’s failure to comply with the foregoing covenant shall not constitute a default hereunder unless and until such failure shall constitute an Event of Default (as defined
in the Lot Development Agreement) under the Lot Development Agreement.

Lot Development Agreement, as described in Section 5(c) of this Contract, at each Closing Purchaser shall execute and deliver to Title Company, the DP Note and DP Deed of Trust, and Seller shall deliver to Title Company a release of the applicable DP
Deed of Trust (“DOT Release”). The DP Note shall be in an amount equal to the sum of the Deferred Purchase Price for all of the Lots acquired by Purchaser at such Closing. Title Company shall hold the
original DP Note and DOT Release in accordance with an escrow agreement executed by Purchaser, Seller, and Title Company (“DP Escrow Agreement”), which shall provide, inter
alia, the following: (A) if Purchaser fails to pay any portion of the Deferred Purchase Price, and such failure continues for a period of ten (10) days after the due date therefor, Title Company shall deliver the original DP Note to Seller;
(B) upon payment of one-half of the Deferred Purchase Price (in accordance with Section 6 of the Lot Development Agreement, Seller shall cause the principal amount of the DP Note to be reduced accordingly; and (C) upon payment by Purchaser of the
entire Deferred Purchase Price, Title Company shall record the DOT Release promptly upon written request from Purchaser and thereafter deliver the original DP Note marked “cancelled” to Purchaser. The form of the DOT Release and the DP Escrow
Agreement shall be agreed upon by the parties hereto not more than thirty (30) days after the Effective Date hereof.
(d) Substantial Completion of Improvements. The term “Substantially Complete” or “Substantial
Completion” means that the Finished Lot Improvements have been completed in accordance with the applicable CDs, this Contract, the Lot Development Agreement, and, if applicable, the Joint Improvements Memorandum, to such a degree that
Purchaser will not be precluded from obtaining building permits for homes on the Lots. Following Substantial Completion Seller shall complete the remainder of the Finished Lot Improvements such that Purchaser will not be precluded from obtaining
certificates of occupancy following completion of Homes as a result of the degree of completion of such Finished Lot Improvements.
(a) Seller’s Conditions. The following shall be conditions precedent to Seller’s obligation to close certain Takedowns, as more specifically set forth
below (each, a “Seller’s Condition Precedent”):
11
(i) Purchaser and other homebuilders are under contract to purchase at least 250 of the Lots in Phase B, and close the initial purchase of lots under some or all of such purchase and sale
agreements as determined by Seller simultaneously (the “Initial Purchase Condition”); provided, that once such Initial Purchase Condition has been satisfied, it shall be considered satisfied at each
subsequent Closing.
(ii) Seller shall have satisfied, or is reasonably certain it will be able to satisfy, its obligations with respect to the Interchange Upgrades, on or before the
Substantial Completion Deadline (as set forth in the Lot Development Agreement) for each Takedown after the initial Takedown, such that Purchaser shall not be prevented from obtaining building permits to construct Houses on Lots acquired at any such
Takedown no later than the applicable Substantial Completion Deadline (the “Interchange Condition”) and will not be prevented from obtaining certificates of occupancy for such Houses, solely as a result
of Seller’s failure to timely satisfy the Interchange Condition.
Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable, good faith efforts to timely satisfy the Seller’s Condition Precedent. If for any reason other than Seller’s fault or exercise of its discretion, either
Seller’s Condition Precedent is not satisfied on or before a Closing Date, Seller may elect to: (1) terminate this Contract by giving written notice to Purchaser at least ten (10) days prior to such Closing; (2) waive the unsatisfied Seller’s
Condition Precedent and proceed to the applicable Closing (provided, however, that such waiver shall not apply to any subsequent Closings); or (3) extend the applicable Closing Date for a period not to exceed ninety (90) days by giving written notice

unsatisfied Seller’s Condition Precedent is not satisfied on or before the last day of the 90-day extension period for any reason other than Seller’s fault or exercise of its discretion, then Seller shall elect within five (5) business days after the
end of such extension period to either terminate this Contract or waive the unsatisfied Seller’s Condition Precedent and proceed to the applicable Closing. In the event Seller terminates this Contract pursuant to this Section 6(a), that portion of
the Deposit made by Purchaser that has not been applied to the Purchase Price for Lots already acquired by Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser. Failure to give a termination notice as described above shall be an irrevocable waiver of Seller’s
right to terminate this Contract as to the affected Takedown pursuant to this Section 6(a).
(b) Purchaser’s Conditions. It shall be a
condition precedent to Purchaser’s obligation to close each Takedown, that the following conditions (“Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent”) have been satisfied:
(i) Final Approval of the Entitlements for the applicable Takedown by the County and all other applicable Authorities and recordation in the County Records of the Final Plat for the Lots to
be acquired at such Takedown and such other Entitlements, as may be required by the County, on or before the applicable Closing Date, as the same may be extended.
(ii) For each Takedown after the initial Takedown, Seller shall have satisfied, or reasonably determines it will be able to satisfy (and Purchaser reasonably concurs with such
determination) the Interchange Condition with respect to the Lots to be acquired at such Takedown and will not be prevented from obtaining certificates of occupancy for Houses on such Lots solely as a result of Seller’s failure to timely satisfy such
Interchange Condition.
12
(iii) Seller’s representations and warranties set forth herein shall be materially true and correct as of the applicable Closing, and Seller, on or prior to the applicable Closing Date, shall
have complied with and/or performed all of Seller’s material obligations, covenants, and agreements which are required by such date pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(iv) The Title Company shall be irrevocably and unconditionally committed (subject only to Purchaser’s obligation to pay the portion of the Title Policy premium for which Purchaser is

issue prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions accepted by Purchaser in accordance with the provisions of this Contract.
(v) The Joint Improvements Memorandum shall have been fully executed by all required parties.
(vi) The physical condition of the land comprising the Lots to be acquired at such Closing shall be substantially the same on the Closing Date as on the Effective Date, except for any

(vii) As of the applicable Closing Date, and with respect only to the Lots to be acquired at such Takedown, there shall be no moratorium, prohibition, or any other measure, rule, regulation,
restriction or limitation imposed by any Authority restricting the availability of gas, sanitary sewer, water, telephone or electricity to the applicable Lots or restricting or precluding any inspections, or the issuance of any building or other
permits, or other right or entitlement whose effect would be to preclude the construction of Purchaser’s Homes.
(viii) No action or proceeding shall have been commenced by or against Seller under the federal bankruptcy code or any state law for the relief of debtors or for the enforcement of the rights
of creditors, and no attachment, execution, lien, or levy shall have attached to or been issued with respect to Seller’s interest in any of the Property or any portion thereof.
(ix) All lessees, tenants, and occupants of the Property, if any, must have vacated the applicable Lots so that sole and exclusive possession of the applicable Lots can be provided to
Purchaser at the Closing.
13
If the Purchaser’s Conditions Precedent are not satisfied on or before a respective Closing Date, Purchaser may: (1) waive the unfulfilled Purchaser’s Condition Precedent and proceed to Closing, (2)
extend the applicable Closing Date for up to thirty (30) days to allow more time for Seller to satisfy the unfulfilled Purchaser’s Condition Precedent, or (3) as its sole remedy hereunder terminate this Contract as to such Takedown and any subsequent
Takedowns by written notice to Seller, delivered within five (5) business days after the Closing Date for the applicable Takedown, in which case each party shall thereupon be relieved of all further obligations and liabilities under this Contract,
except as otherwise provided herein, and the Deposit made by Purchaser that has not been applied to the Purchase Price for Lots already acquired by Purchaser shall be returned to Purchaser. If Purchaser elects to extend the Closing Date under (2),

described above shall be an irrevocable waiver of Purchaser’s right to terminate this Contract as to the affected Takedown pursuant to this Section 6(b). If Purchaser terminates the Contract pursuant to this paragraph, Seller may negate such
termination by giving notice to Purchaser that Seller has elected to extend the applicable Closing Date by sixty (60) days for the purpose of continuing its efforts to satisfy the unfulfilled Purchaser’s Condition(s) Precedent, so long as such notice
is given within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s notice of termination, and Purchaser shall again have a termination right pursuant to this Section if such condition is not satisfied prior to the last day of such extended
period.

(a) Feasibility Review. Within five (5) business days following the Effective Date, and if the same are received by Seller
after such deadline, then within five (5) business days after Seller’s receipt of the same, Seller shall deliver or make available (via electronic file share if available in electronic form, otherwise via paper copies delivered to Purchaser) to
Purchaser the following listed items to the extent in Seller’s actual possession; if an item listed below is not in Seller’s possession and not delivered or made available to Purchaser, but is otherwise readily available to Seller, then Purchaser may
make written request to Seller to provide such item, and Seller will use its reasonable efforts to obtain and deliver or make such item available to Purchaser, but Seller will have no obligation otherwise to obtain any item not in Seller’s
possession: (i) any environmental reports, soil reports and certifications pertaining to the Lots, (ii) a copy of any subdivision plat for the Property, (iii) engineering and construction plans pertaining to the Lots, (iv) biological, grading,
drainage, hydrology and other engineering reports and plans and engineering and constructions plans for offsite improvements that are required to obtain building permits/certificates of occupancies for single-family detached residences constructed on

to review and inspect the Property, all Seller Documents and any and all factors deemed relevant by Purchaser to its proposed development and the feasibility of Purchaser’s intended uses of the Property in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion
(the “Feasibility Review”). The Feasibility Review shall be deemed to have been completed to Purchaser’s satisfaction only if Purchaser gives written notice to Seller of its election to continue this
Contract (“Continuation Notice”) prior to the expiration of the Due Diligence Period. If Purchaser fails to timely give a Continuation Notice or if Purchaser gives a notice of its election to terminate,
this Contract shall automatically terminate, the Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property and any
non-confidential and non-proprietary information otherwise obtained by Purchaser pertaining to the Property, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract except as otherwise provided in Section 25 below.
Seller will reasonably cooperate with Purchaser, at Purchaser’s cost and at no cost and with no liability to Seller to assist Purchaser in obtaining: (A) an updated or recertification of any of the Seller Documents, (B) reliance letters from any of
the preparers of the Seller Documents, and (C) any consents that may be required so that Purchaser may receive the benefits after Closing of any agreements comprising the Seller Documents that confer a benefit and are reasonably necessary for the
Purchaser’s proper and efficient development of the Property for residential use, to the extent such are obtainable by Purchaser.
18
(b) Approval of Property. If Purchaser gives a Continuation Notice on or before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10,
Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived Feasibility Review and elected to continue this Contract and proceed as provided hereunder.
(c) Radon. Purchaser acknowledges that radon gas and naturally occurring radioactive materials (“NORM”) each naturally occurs in many locations in Colorado. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”)
have detected elevated levels of naturally occurring radon gas in residential structures in many areas of Colorado, including the County and all of the other counties along the front range of Colorado. The EPA has raised concerns with respect to
adverse effects on human health from long-term exposure to high levels of radon and recommends that radon levels be tested in all Residences. Purchaser acknowledges that Seller neither claims nor possesses any special expertise in the measurement or
reduction of radon or NORM. Purchaser further acknowledges that Seller has not undertaken any evaluation of the presence or risks of radon or NORM with respect to the Property nor has it made any representation or given any other advice to Purchaser
as to acceptable levels or possible health hazards of radon and NORM. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF RADON, NORM OR OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS WITHIN THE PROPERTY OR
THE RESIDENCES TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE LOTS OR THE SOILS BENEATH OR ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY OR THE RESIDENCES TO BE CONSTRUCTED ON THE LOTS PRIOR TO, ON OR AFTER THE APPLICABLE CLOSING DATE. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and
assigns (not including Purchaser’s homebuyers), hereby releases the Seller from any and all liability and claims with respect to any NORM, except claims arising from or as a result of fraud or other willful misconduct of any Seller Party. Every home
sales contract entered in to by Purchaser with respect to subsequent sales of Lots shall include any disclosures with respect to radon (and other NORMs) as required by applicable Colorado law. The release by Seller set forth above with respect to any
successor or assign shall not be applicable to the extent Seller obtains and provides to Purchaser in writing a direct release of Seller by such successor or assign.
19
(d) Soils. Purchaser acknowledges that soils within the State of Colorado consist of both expansive soils and low-density soils, and certain areas contain potential heaving bedrock
associated with expansive, steeply dipping bedrock, which will adversely affect the integrity of a dwelling unit constructed on a Lot if the dwelling unit and the Lot on which it is constructed are not properly maintained. Expansive soils contain
clay mineral, which have the characteristic of changing volume with the addition or subtraction of moisture, thereby resulting in swelling and/or shrinking soils. The addition of moisture to low-density soils causes a realignment of soil grains,
thereby resulting in consolidation and/or collapse of the soils. Purchaser agrees that it shall obtain a current geotechnical report for the Property and an individual lot soils report for each Lot containing design recommendations from a licensed
geotechnical engineer for all structures to be placed upon the Lot. Purchaser shall require all homes to have engineered footing and foundations consistent with results of the individual lot soils report for each Lot and shall take reasonable action
as shall be necessary to ensure that the homes to be constructed upon the Lots shall be done in accordance with proper design and construction techniques. Purchaser shall also provide a copy of the geotechnical report for the Property and the
individual lot soils report for each Lot to Seller within seven (7) days after Seller’s request for the same. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE PRESENCE OR ABSENCE OF EXPANSIVE SOILS, LOW-DENSITY
SOILS OR DIPPING BEDROCK UPON THE PROPERTY AND PURCHASER SHALL UNDERTAKE SUCH INVESTIGATION AS SHALL BE REASONABLE AND PRUDENT TO DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE OF THE SAME. Purchaser shall provide all disclosures required by C.R.S. Section 6-6.5-101 in
every home sales contract entered in to by Purchaser with respect to subsequent sales of a Lot to a homebuyer. Purchaser, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns (not including Purchaser’s homebuyers), hereby releases the Seller from any
and all liability and claims with respect to expansive and low-density soils and dipping bedrock located within the Property, except claims arising from or as a result of fraud or other willful misconduct of any Seller Party. The release by Seller
set forth above with respect to any successor or assign shall not be applicable to the extent Seller obtains and provides to Purchaser in writing a direct release of Seller by such successor or assign.
(e) Over Excavation. The Finished Lot Improvements required for each Lot do not include any “over excavation” or comparable
preparation or mitigation of the soil (the “Overex”) on the Property and Purchaser shall have sole responsibility at Purchaser’s sole expense with respect to the Overex and shall have the right (pursuant
to a license agreement to be provided by Seller) to enter such 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 Finish Lot Improvements, and provided further that Purchaser shall promptly repair any portion of the Lots and adjacent property that is materially damaged by Purchaser or its
agents, designees, employees, contractors, or subcontractors in performing the Overex. Purchaser shall obtain, at its cost, a current geotechnical report for the Property and an individual lot soils report for each Lot containing design
recommendations from a licensed geotechnical engineer for all structures to be placed upon the Lot (“Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports”). Purchaser shall not rely upon any geotechnical or soils report
furnished by Seller, and Seller shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to the Overex, Purchaser’s Geotechnical Reports or any matters related thereto. The parties shall reasonably cooperate in coordinating Purchaser’s completion of
the Overex so that the Overex can be properly sequenced with Seller’s completion of the Finished Lot Improvements and the parties acknowledge and agree that any delay in Seller’s completion of the Finished Lot Improvements resulting from Purchaser’s
Overex work shall extend the date for substantial completion of the Finished Lot Improvements in accordance with the provisions of the Lot Development Agreement. In no event shall the Seller be liable to Purchaser for any delay or costs or damages
incurred by Purchaser with respect to such Overex, even if caused by any delay in installation of Finished Lot Improvements sequenced ahead of the Overex. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT SELLER IS NOT PERFORMING
ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND THAT SELLER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT TO OR ARISING OUT OF ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS OR EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE LOTS AND SELLER EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO
ANY OVER-EXCAVATION OF THE LOTS AND EXPANSIVE SOILS PRESENT ON THE LOTS EXCEPT CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR AS A RESULT OF FRAUD OR OTHER WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SELLER PARTY. PURCHASER SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD HARMLESS SELLER 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 PURCHASER’S ELECTION NOT TO PERFORM SOILS MITIGATION, ON OR PERTAINING TO
PURCHASER’S LOTS. THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION SHALL EXPRESSLY SURVIVE THE EXPIRATION OR TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.
20
(f) No Reliance on Documents. Except as expressly stated in this Contract and/or expressly set forth in the documents executed by Seller at a Closing (“Express Representations”), Seller makes no representation or warranty as to the truth, accuracy or completeness of any materials, data or information (including, without limitation, the Seller Documents) delivered by Seller or
its brokers or agents to Purchaser in connection with the transaction contemplated hereby. Except for and subject to the Express Representations, all materials, data and information delivered by Seller to Purchaser in connection with the transaction
contemplated hereby are provided to Purchaser as a convenience only and any reliance on or use of such materials, data or information by Purchaser shall be at the sole risk of Purchaser. The Seller Parties (as hereinafter defined) shall not be
liable to Purchaser for any inaccuracy in or omission from any such reports, except for the Express Representations provided by Seller. Purchaser hereby represents to Seller that, to the extent Purchaser deems the same to be necessary or advisable
for its purposes, and without waiving the right to rely upon the Express Representations: (i) Purchaser has performed or will perform an independent inspection and investigation of the Lots and has also investigated or will investigate the operative
or proposed governmental laws, ordinances and regulations to which the Lots may be subject, and (ii) Purchaser shall acquire the Lots solely upon the basis of its own or its experts’ independent inspection and investigation, including, without
limitation, (a) the quality, nature, habitability, merchantability, use, operation, value, fitness for a particular purpose, marketability, adequacy or physical condition of the Lots or any aspect or portion thereof, including, without limitation,
appurtenances, access, landscaping, parking facilities, electrical, plumbing, sewage, and utility systems, facilities and appliances, soils, geology and groundwater, (b) the dimensions or sizes of the Lots, (c) the development or income potential, or
rights of or relating to, the Lots, (d) the zoning or other legal status of the Lots or any other public or private restrictions on the use of the Lots, (e) the compliance of the Lots with any and all applicable codes, laws, regulations, statutes,
ordinances, covenants, conditions and restrictions, (f) the ability of Purchaser to obtain any necessary governmental permits for Purchaser’s intended use or development of the Lots, (g) the presence or absence of Hazardous Materials on, in, under,
above or about the Lots or any adjoining or neighboring property, (h) the condition of title to the Lots, or (i) the economics of, or the income and expenses, revenue or expense projections or other financial matters, relating to the Lots, except as
provided in the Express Representations.
21
(g) As Is. Except for the Express Representations and Seller’s performance of its obligations under this Contract, Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that it is purchasing the
Property based on its own inspection and examination thereof, and Seller shall sell and convey to Purchaser and Purchaser shall accept the property on an “AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH ALL FAULTS, LIABILITIES, AND DEFECTS, LATENT OR OTHERWISE, KNOWN OR
UNKNOWN” basis in an “AS IS” physical condition and in an “AS IS” state of repair (subject to the Finished Lot Improvements obligation set forth in this Contract). Except for, and subject to, the Express Representations, to the extent not prohibited
by law the Purchaser hereby waives, and Seller disclaims all warranties of any type or kind whatsoever with respect to the Property, whether express or implied, direct or indirect, oral or written, including, by way of description, but not
limitation, those of habitability, fitness for a particular purpose, and use. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Purchaser expressly acknowledges that, except for the Express Representations, Seller makes no representations or
warranties concerning, and hereby expressly disclaims any representations or warranties concerning the following: (i) The value, nature, quality or condition of the Property; (ii) Any restrictions related to development of the Property; (iii) The
applicability of any governmental requirements; (iv) The suitability of the Property for any purpose whatsoever; (v) The presence in, on, under or about the Property of any Hazardous Material or any other condition of the Property which is actionable
under any Environmental Law (as such terms are defined in this Section 10; (vi) Compliance of the Property or any operation thereon with the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any applicable governmental body; or (vii) The presence or
absence of, or the potential adverse health, economic or other effects arising from, any magnetic, electrical or electromagnetic fields or other conditions caused by or emanating from any power lines, telephone lines, cables or other facilities, or
any related devices or appurtenances, upon or in the vicinity of the Property. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR AS A RESULT OF FRAUD OR OTHER WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF ANY SELLER PARTY AND EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF
SELLER AS ARE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN THIS CONTRACT AND/OR EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THE CLOSING DOCUMENTS, SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO PURCHASER FOR ANY CONSTRUCTION DEFECT, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR ON ACCOUNT OF
SOILS CONDITIONS OR ANY OTHER CONDITION AFFECTING THE PROPERTY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE MATTERS DESCRIBED ABOVE AND PURCHASER AND ANYONE CLAIMING BY, THROUGH OR UNDER PURCHASER, HEREBY FULLY RELEASES SELLER, ITS PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES,
OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, REPRESENTATIVES, ATTORNEYS AND AGENTS (BUT NOT INCLUDING ANY THIRD PARTY PROFESSIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS [E.G., ENGINEERS, ETC.], CONTRACTORS OR SIMILAR FIRMS OR PERSONS) FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AGAINST ANY OF THEM FOR ANY COST,
LOSS, LIABILITY, DAMAGE, EXPENSE, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY RIGHTS OF CONTRIBUTION) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO ANY CONSTRUCTION DEFECTS, ERRORS, OMISSIONS, OR OTHER CONDITIONS AFFECTING THE PROPERTY,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THOSE MATTERS DESCRIBED ABOVE. The release and waiver set forth in this paragraph shall not apply to any cost, loss, liability, damage, expense, demand, action or cause of action arising from or related to (i) fraud or
other willful misconduct of any Seller Party or (ii) any claims against contractors or subcontractors for construction defects in the Finished Lot Improvements; provided, however, that Purchaser shall first seek to enforce claims against such
contractors and/or subcontractors conducting the work and only if Purchaser is unable to achieve full satisfaction of their claims after filing and pursuing through final judgment, any litigation, then Purchaser shall have the right to seek relief
from the Seller Parties.

(h) Release. Purchaser agrees that, except for and subject to the Express Representations, Seller shall not be responsible or liable to Purchaser for any defects, errors or
omissions, or on account of geotechnical or soils conditions or on account of any other conditions affecting the Property, because Purchaser is otherwise purchasing the Property AS IS, WHERE-IS, and WITH ALL FAULTS, as set forth above in subsection

claims after filing and pursuing through final judgment, any litigation, then Purchaser shall have the right to seek relief from the Seller Parties.
(i) Indemnification. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend (with counsel reasonably selected by Purchaser with Seller approval) and hold harmless the Seller Parties of, from and

declarant under the Master Covenants or arising from or related to the fraud or willful misconduct of any Seller Party; and further provided that Purchaser is not required to indemnify consultants, contractors and subcontractors who contract with
Seller and who perform services or supply labor, materials, equipment, and other work relating to geotechnical or soils conditions on the Lots that is necessary for the Lots to satisfy the requirements set forth herein. The indemnification by Seller
set forth above with respect to any successor shall not be applicable to the extent Seller obtains and provides to Purchaser in writing a direct indemnification of Seller by such successor.
24
(j) The provisions of this Section 10 shall survive each Closing and the delivery of each respective deed to the Purchaser.
11. Seller’s
Representations. Seller hereby represents and warrants to Purchaser as follows (the following Subsections (a) through (j) collectively referred to herein as “Seller’s Representations”):
(a) Organization. Seller is a limited liability company duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of Colorado.
(b) Litigation. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge (as defined in this Section 11), there is no pending or threatened litigation which could materially
adversely affect the Property.
(c) Bankruptcy. There are no attachments, levies, executions, assignments for the benefit of creditors, receiverships,
conservatorships, or voluntary or involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy, or any other debtor relief actions contemplated by Seller or filed by Seller, or to Seller’s knowledge, pending in any current judicial or administrative proceeding against
Seller.
(d) Non-Foreign Person. Seller is not a “foreign person” as that term is defined in Section 1445 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and applicable
regulations.
(e) Condemnation. Seller has received no written notice of any pending or threatened condemnation or eminent domain proceedings which may affect the Property or
any part thereof.
(f) Execution and Delivery. The execution, delivery and performance of this Contract by Seller does not and will not result in a breach of, or constitute a
default under, any indenture, loan or credit agreement, mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement to which Seller is a party. The individual(s) executing this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein on behalf of Seller have the legal power,
right and actual authority to bind Seller to the terms hereof and thereof.
(g) Default. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, Seller has not defaulted under any covenant, restriction or contract affecting the Property, nor has Seller caused by
its act or omission an event to occur which would with the passage of time constitute a breach or default under any such covenant, restriction or contract.
25
(h) Violation of Law. Seller has not received any written notice of non-compliance, and to Seller’s Actual Knowledge there is no non-compliance, of the Property
with respect to any federal, state or local laws, codes, ordinances or regulations relating to the Property.
(i) Rights. Seller has not granted to any party, other than Purchaser hereunder, any option, contract, right of refusal or other agreement with respect to a
purchase or sale of the Property. To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, there are no leases, occupancy agreements, easements, licenses or other agreements which grant third-parties any possessory or usage rights to all or any part of the Property, except as

Hazardous Material, except as may be disclosed in the Seller Documents.
(k) To Seller’s Actual Knowledge, no portion of the Property is or has been used as a cemetery, grave site, or graveyard, or is a site of historical significance;
For purposes of the foregoing, the phrase “Seller’s Actual Knowledge” shall mean the current, actual, personal knowledge of Xxxx Xxxxxxx as President of
Seller, without any duty of investigation or inquiry and without imputation of any other person’s knowledge. The fact that reference is made to the personal knowledge of the above identified individual shall not render such individual personally
liable for any breach of any of the foregoing representations and warranties; rather, Purchaser’s sole recourse in the event of any such breach shall be against Seller, and Purchaser hereby waives any claim or cause of action against the above
identified individual arising from Seller’s Representations. Seller and Purchaser shall notify the other in writing immediately if any Seller’s Representation becomes untrue or misleading in light of information obtained by Seller or Purchaser after
the Effective Date. In the event that Purchaser elects to close and Purchaser has actual knowledge (meaning the current, actual, personal knowledge of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, without any duty of investigation or inquiry and without imputation of any other
person’s knowledge) that any of Seller’s Representations are untrue or misleading, or of a breach of any of Seller’ Representations prior to a Closing, without the duty of further inquiry, Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived any right of
recovery with respect to the matter actually known by Purchaser, and Seller shall not have any liability in connection therewith.
Seller’s Representations shall survive each respective Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, except that any claim for which legal action is filed within such time period shall survive until
resolution of such action, and except to the extent of any matter that is waived by Purchaser pursuant to the previous paragraph (and any such matter waived pursuant to the previous paragraph shall not survive Closing).
26
Seller makes no promises, representations or warranties regarding the construction, installation or operation of any amenities within the Development, including without limitation, clubhouses,
swimming pools and/or sports courts. To the extent that any development plans, site plans, rendering, drawings, marketing information or other materials related to the Development include, depict or imply the inclusion of any amenities in the
Development, they are included only to illustrate possible amenities for the Development that may or may not be built and Purchaser shall not rely upon any such materials regarding the construction, installation or operation of any amenities within
the Development.
12. Purchaser’s
Obligations. Purchaser shall have the following obligations, each of which shall survive each respective Closing and, where noted, termination of this Contract:
(a) Master Covenants; PID Service Plan. Purchaser shall comply with all obligations applicable to Purchaser under the Master Covenants and under the PID Service
Plan.
(b) Compliance with Laws. With respect to Purchaser’s entry onto the Property and following each Closing, Purchaser shall comply with and abide by all laws,
ordinances, statutes, covenants, rules and regulations, building codes, permits, association documents and other recorded instruments (as they are from time to time amended, supplemented or changed) which regulate any activities relating to
Purchaser’s use, ownership, construction, sale or investigation of any Lot or any improvements thereon.
(c) Entry Prior to Closing. From and after the Effective Date of this Contract until applicable Closing Date or earlier termination
of this Contract, and so long as no default by Purchaser exists under this Contract, Purchaser and its agents, employees and representatives shall be entitled to enter upon the Property for purposes of conducting soil and other tests and to inspect
and survey any of the Property. If the Property is altered or disturbed in any material manner in connection with any of Purchaser’s activities, Purchaser shall immediately return the Property to substantially the
condition existing prior to such activities. Purchaser shall promptly refill holes dug and otherwise to repair any damage to the Property as a result of its activities. Purchaser and its agents shall not have the right to conduct any
invasive testing (e.g., borings, drilling, soil/water sampling, etc.), except standard geotech and environmental investigation, on the Lots, including, without limitation, any so-called “Phase II” environmental testing, without first obtaining
Seller’s written consent (and providing Seller at least seventy-two (72) hours’ prior written notice), which consent may be withheld by Seller in its reasonable discretion and shall be subject to any terms and conditions imposed by Seller in its
reasonable discretion. In the event that Purchaser fails to obtain Seller’s written consent as required pursuant to the preceding sentence prior to any invasive testing, except standard geotech and environmental investigation, then in addition to
and without limiting any other obligations Purchaser may have under this Section, Purchaser shall be fully responsible and liable for all costs of remediation with respect to any materials disturbed in any manner that requires remediation or that are
removed in connection with such invasive testing and including, but not limited to, costs for disposal of materials removed during any invasive testing. Purchaser shall not permit any lien to attach to the Property or any portion of the Property as
a result of the activities. Purchaser shall indemnify, defend and hold Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents and representatives harmless from and against any and all mechanics’ and materialmen’s liens, claims (including,
without limitation, personal injury, death and property damage claims), damages, losses, obligations, liabilities, costs and expenses including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders,
employees, agents and representatives or their property arising out of any breach of the provisions of this Section 12(c) by Purchaser, its agents, employees or representatives. The foregoing indemnity obligation of
Purchaser includes acts and omissions of Purchaser and all agents, consultants and other parties acting for or on behalf of Purchaser. Purchaser shall maintain in effect during its inspection of the Property commercial general liability
coverage for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of at least $2,000,000.00 combined single limit, and automobile liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage in the amount of at least $2,000,000.00 combined single limit, and the policy or policies of insurance shall be issued by a reputable insurance company or companies which are qualified to do business in the State of Colorado and shall name
Seller as an additional insured. In addition, before entering upon the Property, Purchaser shall provide Seller with valid certificates indicating such insurance is in effect. The foregoing indemnity shall not apply to claims due to (i) Hazardous
Materials or conditions that are not placed on the Property or caused by Purchaser or its agents, (ii) pre-existing matters, (iii) or Seller’s actions or inactions. The indemnity and agreement set forth in this Section 12(c) shall survive
the expiration or termination of this Contract for any reason.
27
(d) Architectural Approval. In order to assure that homes constructed by Purchaser are compatible with the other residential construction in the Development and
the architectural, design, and landscaping criteria and guidelines included in the approved Administrative Site Plan applicable to the Property (the “ASP Criteria”) and are otherwise acceptable to
Seller, all construction and landscaping on the Lots shall be subject to the prior review and approval of Seller in accordance with this Section 12(d). The Master Covenants provide for the formation of an architectural review committee (“Architectural Review Committee”) and for the promulgation and adoption of design guidelines (“Design Guidelines”) to be applied by the Architectural Review
Committee. The Master Covenants and the Design Guidelines provide for an exemption from obtaining Architectural Review Committee approval for the Seller and any other person whose House Plans (as hereinafter defined) has been reviewed and approved
by the Seller.
(i) Purchaser shall submit to Seller the Purchaser’s elevations, floor plans, typical landscape plans, exterior color palettes (“House
Plans”) for homes and other buildings, structures and improvements to be located on the Lots (herein “Homes”, “Houses”, or “Residences”) within forty five (45) days following delivery of the ASP to Purchaser. Seller will review the House Plans and Seller shall deliver notice to Purchaser of the Seller’s approval or disapproval
of the House Plans within ten (10) business days after receipt of the House Plans, with such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and shall not be withheld so long as such plans substantially comply and are generally
consistent and compatible with the ASP Criteria. If Seller fails to so notify Purchaser of approval or disapproval within such 10-business day period, the House Plans shall be deemed approved and/or an appropriate exemption shall be given to
Purchaser. In the event of disapproval, Purchaser shall revise and resubmit the House Plans to the Seller for reconsideration, addressing the matters reasonably disapproved by the Seller, and the procedure set forth above shall be repeated until the
House Plans are approved by the Seller. After Seller approves the Purchaser’s House Plans, and before Purchaser commences construction of Homes on the Lots, Purchaser shall submit to Seller any material changes in the approved House Plans. Seller
shall review the material changes for general consistency and compatibility with the standards and criteria set forth in the ASP Criteria and if Seller approves such changes, Seller shall notify Purchaser within ten (10) business days of its
approval, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, and which shall not be withheld if such material changes comply with the ASP Criteria.
28
(ii) Purchaser shall obtain Seller approval of House Plans before commencing construction activities on any Lot. Purchaser shall perform all construction, development and landscaping in
accordance with the approved House Plans and in conformity with the ASP Criteria and all other requirements, rules, regulations of any local jurisdictional authority. Purchaser and Seller acknowledge that the County will not conduct architectural
review nor issue approval of Purchaser’s House Plans, but rather requires the building permit applicant to comply with the ASP Criteria. Seller’s approval of Purchaser’s House Plans is only intended as a review for compatibility with other
residential construction in the Development and the ASP Criteria and does not constitute a representation or warranty that Purchaser’s House Plans comply with ASP Criteria and Purchaser shall be responsible for confirming such compliance.
(e) Disclosures to Homebuyers. Purchaser shall include in each contract for the sale of any Home constructed by Purchaser in the
Development all disclosures required by applicable laws, including, but not limited to the Special District Disclosure, Common Interest Community Disclosure, Mineral Disclosure and Source of Potable Water Disclosure, and any other disclosure that
applicable laws require to be made to each homebuyer regarding expansive/low-density soils, radon, NORMs, and other matters (“Homebuyer Disclosures”). Purchaser shall furnish to Seller upon request a
copy of Purchaser’s disclosures to homebuyers which includes the Homebuyer Disclosures.
13. Uncontrollable Events.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Contract, the time for performance of any obligation of Seller or Purchaser under this Contract (except for any monetary obligation of either party) shall be extended if such performance is delayed due
to any act, or failure to act, of any Authority, strike, riot, act of war, act of terrorism, act of violence, weather, act of God, epidemic/pandemic, or any other act, occurrence or non-occurrence beyond such party’s reasonable control (each, an “Uncontrollable Event”). Any extension under the preceding sentence shall continue for a length of time reasonably necessary to satisfy such delayed obligation; provided, that in no event shall such
extension be less than the duration of such Uncontrollable Event. If a party claims a delay due to an Uncontrollable Event, then such party shall provide written notice to the other party not more than thirty (30) days after 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 a reasonable estimation of the duration (to the extent determinable at the time of such notice) of the
delay that was caused by the Uncontrollable Event. Each party will make efforts to minimize the delay from any such Uncontrollable Event to the extent reasonably feasible; provided, however, that neither party shall be required to use extraordinary
means and/or incur extraordinary costs in order to satisfy its obligations.
14. Cooperation. Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate with and require its agents, employees, subcontractors and other
representatives to cooperate with Seller in construction within the Development, including, where applicable, the granting of a nonexclusive license to enter upon the Property conveyed to Purchaser. Purchaser shall execute any and all documentation
reasonably required by Seller to effectuate any desired modification or change in connection with Seller’s activities in the Development including, without limitation, amendments or restatements of the Master Covenants, or any Final Plat; provided,
however, Purchaser shall not be obligated to execute any such documentation if it will materially adversely affect the fair market value or use of the Property or Purchaser’s ability to construct or to sell its proposed homes within the Property, or
if it will materially increase the cost of ownership or construction or materially interfere with such ownership or construction.
29
(a) FHA/VA. Seller shall not be required to obtain any approvals pursuant to FHA, VA or other governmental programs relating to the Lots or the financing of
improvements thereon.
(b) Utility Company Refunds. Any refunds from utility providers relating to construction deposits for the Property shall be the exclusive property of Seller.
Purchaser shall cooperate, at no cost to Purchaser, with Seller in turning over any such funds and directing those funds to Seller.
(a) Rangeview Metropolitan District. The water and sewer service provider for the Lots is the Rangeview Metropolitan District (“Rangeview”) and Purchaser shall be required to purchase water and sewer taps for the Lots from Rangeview pursuant to the terms and provisions of a tap purchase agreement in a form substantially consistent
with the one attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit F (the “Tap Purchase Agreement”). Pursuant to the Tap Purchase Agreement, Rangeview will
agree to sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser will agree to purchase from Rangeview, a water and sewer tap for each Lot in accordance with an agreed-upon purchase schedule, but in no event later than the issuance of a building permit for a Lot. The Tap
Purchase Agreement shall be executed by Rangeview and Purchaser on or before the date of the First Closing. If Rangeview and Purchaser are unable to agree on a Tap Purchase Agreement before the expiration of the Due Diligence Period, the Initial
Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall deliver to Seller all information and materials received by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property and any non-confidential and non-proprietary information otherwise obtained
by Purchaser pertaining to the Property, and thereafter the parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Contract except as otherwise provided in Section 25 below. The combined cost to purchase a water tap and sewer will be
dependent on Lot size, house square footage, number of floors, driveway lanes, outdoor irrigated square footage, and xeriscape square footage. For example, based on Rangeview’s rates and charges as of the Effective Date as set forth in fee schedule
attached hereto as Exhibit G (the “Lot Development Fee Schedule”), a 5,500 square foot lot with a 2,400 square foot house 2 story 2 car garage with 1,500
square feet of grass would have a computed tap fee equating to a .9 SFE (1 SFE equal to .4 acre feet of water demand per year) or $24,488.10, and a sewer tap fee of $4,752.
30
(b) District Governance and Financial Matters. The Property is included within the boundaries of the District and with water and
sewer service provided by Rangeview. Persons affiliated with Seller have been elected or appointed to the board of directors (“Board”) of the District and Rangeview and serve in that capacity.
Purchaser shall not qualify any persons affiliated with Purchaser as its representative to serve on the Board of the District or Rangeview and this prohibition shall survive all Closings and delivery of deeds hereunder until no person affiliated with
Seller serves on the Board. The District has been formed for purposes that include, but are not limited to financing, owning, maintaining and/or managing certain tracts and infrastructure improvements (“District
Improvements”) to serve the Development, including the Lots. Purchaser acknowledges that: (i) the construction of District Improvements shall be without compensation or reimbursement to Purchaser; and (ii) any reimbursements, credits,
payments, or other amounts payable by the District or Rangeview on account of the construction of District Improvements or any other matters related thereto (“Metro District Payments”) shall remain the
property of the Seller and shall not be conveyed to or otherwise be claimed by Purchaser. Upon request of Seller, the District, or Rangeview, Purchaser will execute any and all documents that may be reasonably required to confirm Purchaser’s waiver
of any right to Metro District Payments. The provisions of this Section are material in determining the Purchase Price, and the Purchase Price would have been higher but for the provisions of this Section. Seller shall provide to Purchaser as part
of the Seller Documents information available relating to the District including the service plan and schedule of current fees and charges. This Section shall survive each Closing as set forth herein.
(c) Sky Ranch Community Authority Board. Pursuant to the Colorado Constitution, Article XIV, Sections 18(2)(a) and (b), and C.R.S.
Sections 29-1-203 and -203.5, 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. Pursuant to the Modified Service Plans for Sky Ranch Metropolitan District Nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5 (“Sky Ranch Districts”), approved by Arapahoe County on September 14, 2004,
as amended (“Service Plans”), and pursuant to statutory authority, the Sky Ranch Metropolitan District Nos. 1 and 5 have entered into a Sky Ranch Community Authority Board Establishment Agreement (“CABEA”), creating the CAB. It is anticipated that the Boards of Sky Ranch Metropolitan District Nos. 3 and 4 will elect to become parties to the CABEA in the future. The CABEA authorizes the CAB and the Sky
Ranch Districts that are parties to the CABEA to cooperate and contract with each other regarding administrative and operational functions. One or more of the Sky Ranch Districts, the CAB or other governmental entity may enter into an
intergovernmental agreement pursuant to C.R.S. §§ 29-1-203 and – 203.5 to create the Regional Improvements Authority to use revenue generated by the imposition of the Regional Improvements Mill Levy to plan, design, acquire, construct, installation,
relocation and/or redevelopment, and the administration, overhead and operations and maintenance costs incurred with respect to the Regional Improvements serving the Development. The Regional Improvement Authority’s authority may include, without
limitation, (i) sharing or pledging revenue, including ad valorem taxes, to provide a source of funding to pay for specific regional improvements that serve the Development, (ii) the issuance of debt by the CAB or other governmental authority to pay
for regional improvements, and (iii) the construction of regional improvements. If and to the extent that the District enters into such an IGA, Builder agrees that it will not object to the intergovernmental agreement creating the Regional
Improvements Authority provided that the total mill levy on a Lot does not exceed Maximum Xxxxx Limitation and such intergovernmental agreement does not result in any additional fees imposed with respect to the Lots in
excess of the fees that have been or will be imposed in the first phase of the Development, or any other material adverse effect on the title, use, or construction on any Home or any Lot.
31
(d) Fees.
(i) Seller shall pay any and all of the following to the extent imposed by any Authority in connection with the Property conveyed to Purchaser: (i) any parks and
recreation fees (including park dedication requirements and/or cash-in-lieu payments related to the Property as part of the platting thereof); (ii) drainage fees; (iii) fees for payment-in-lieu of school land dedications.
(ii) Purchaser shall pay all costs and expenses for all costs or fees that may be imposed by any Authority relating to the construction, use or occupancy of the homes to be constructed on
the Lots and any ongoing or periodic maintenance and operations fees and charges levied or otherwise imposed on Lot owned by Purchaser by any Authority, including without limitation, those fees set forth in the Lot Development Fee Schedule attached
hereto as Exhibit G; provided, however, that the fees set forth on Exhibit G are reflective only of the assessment as of the Effective Date hereof and are subject to
periodic increases as determined by the assessing Authority. Without limiting the foregoing, and except for the fees to be paid by Seller pursuant to Section 4(d) or Section 16(d)(i) above, Purchaser shall pay any and all of the following to the
extent imposed in connection with the Property conveyed to Purchaser: (i) system development fees; (iii) any infrastructure (facility) fee, including, without limitation, any transportation/road fee, which may be imposed either by the County, the
District or other Authority; (iv) any impact fees and payment-in-lieu of land dedication fees imposed for roads or other facilities that are payable at issuance of a building permit for a home constructed on a Lot; and (v) any excise fees.
(iii) As of the Effective Date, the District does not levy a system development fee (“SDF”) against property within
the District. If the District at any time before a Closing adopts a SDF, then at such Closing (and subsequent Closings) the Purchaser shall pay the District’s SDF applicable to the Lots. In order to offset Purchaser’s payment of the District’s SDF
for a Lot at a Closing, Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price paid by Purchaser for such Lot at such Closing equal to the amount of the District’s SDF paid by Purchaser for the Lot.
(iv) The covenants set forth in this Section 16 shall survive each respective Closing and shall represent a continuing obligation until the complete satisfaction or payment thereof.
32
17. Homeowners’ Association. Certain alleys, walkways, landscape tracts, and other private improvements will serve the Property
and may also serve lots acquired by other builders within Phase B. In order to address the maintenance obligations related to such private improvements, Seller shall establish a homeowners’ association that will own and/or maintain such private
improvements (the “Homeowners’ Association”) and cause the Lots to be annexed into such Homeowners’ Association at Closing hereunder. Within thirty (30) days after the Effective Date, Seller will
deliver to Purchaser (and the other builders) for its review and reasonable approval, a declaration with respect to the maintenance of those private improvements (the “Maintenance Declaration”).
Purchaser shall have until fifteen (15) days before the end of the Due Diligence Period, as the same may be extended, to notify Seller in writing of any objection that Purchaser may have to the draft Maintenance Declaration. On or before the fifth
(5th) business day following Seller’s receipt of Purchaser’s objections to the draft Maintenance Declaration, Seller shall notify Purchaser, in writing, whether Seller
elects to make such modifications to the draft Maintenance Declaration, with Seller not to unreasonably withhold its consent to Purchaser’s request; provided, however, that if Seller does not elect to modify, or elects to modify and does not
thereafter modify the Maintenance Declaration within such 5-business day period and such decision is made on a reasonable basis, Purchaser shall have the right to either: (i) terminate this Agreement by delivery of a written termination notice to
Seller on or before the end of the Due Diligence Period, in which event the entire Initial Deposit shall be promptly returned to Purchaser, Purchaser shall return to Seller all information and materials received
by Purchaser from Seller pertaining to the Property, and thereafter the Parties shall have no further rights or obligations under this Agreement except for those which expressly survive the termination hereof; or (ii) waive any objections to the
Maintenance Declaration and proceed with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, in which event Purchaser shall be deemed to have approved the Maintenance Declaration as to which its objections have been waived. Upon approval of the form of
the Maintenance Declaration by the Parties, the Parties will cause such form to be attached to this Agreement by a mutually executed amendment hereto. The Maintenance Declaration shall be recorded in the Records at or before the First Closing and
shall constitute a Permitted Exception hereunder.
18. Reimbursements and Credits. Purchaser shall have no right
to any reimbursements and/or cost-sharing agreements pursuant to any agreements entered into between Seller or any of Seller’s affiliates and third parties which may or may not affect the Property, except as may be expressly provided in the Joint
Improvement Memorandum. In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller, its affiliates, the District, the PID, or other metropolitan district, has installed or may install certain infrastructure improvements (“Infrastructure
Improvements”), the Interchange Upgrades, and/or donate, dedicate and/or convey certain rights, improvements and/or real property (“Dedications”) to the County or other Authority which
benefit all or any part of the Property, together with adjacent properties, and which entitle Seller or its affiliates and/or the Property or any part thereof to certain reimbursements by the County or other Authority or credits by the County or
other Authority for park fees, open space fees, school impact fees, capital expansion fees and other governmental fees which would otherwise be required to be paid to the County or other governmental or quasi-governmental entity by the owner of the
Property or any part thereof from time to time (“Governmental Fees”). In the event Purchaser is entitled to a credit or waiver of Governmental Fees by the County and/or any other Authority as a result
of the Infrastructure Improvements, the Interchange Upgrades, and/or any Dedications, then, in such event, Purchaser shall pay to or reimburse Seller and/or its designated affiliates in an amount equal to such credited or waived Governmental Fees at
the same time that the Governmental Fees would otherwise be payable by Purchaser or its assignees to the County or other Authority but for the construction of the Infrastructure Improvements, the Interchange Upgrades, and/or any Dedications by
Seller, its affiliates, the District, or other Authority. In addition, Purchaser acknowledges that Seller or its affiliate(s) may have negotiated or may negotiate with the County or other Authority for reimbursements to Seller or its affiliates.
Purchaser acknowledges that certain Governmental Fees which may be paid by Purchaser to the County or other Authority may be reimbursed to Seller and/or its affiliates pursuant to the terms of said agreement. The obligations and covenants set forth
in this Section 18 shall survive the Closing of the purchase and sale of the Property and shall represent a continuing obligation of Purchaser until complete satisfaction thereof. Purchaser shall be released from the obligations in this Section
18 to the extent such obligations are assumed in writing by a subsequent owner of all or a portion of the Property and a copy of such written assumption is furnished to Seller. Each special warranty deed conveying the applicable portion of the
Property at each Closing shall contain the foregoing reimbursement covenant, which reimbursement covenant shall expressly state that it automatically terminates as to any Lot upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy for a home constructed on the
Lot and conveyance of the Lot to a homebuyer.
33
19. Name and Logo. The name and logo of “Sky Ranch” are wholly owned by Seller. Purchaser agrees that it shall not use or allow the use of the name “Sky
Ranch” or any logo, symbol or other words or phrases which are names or trademarks used or registered by Seller or any of its affiliates in any manner to name, designate, advertise, sell or develop the Property or in
connection with the operation or business located or to be located upon the Property without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent may be withheld for any reason. Any consent to the use of such
names or logos may be conditioned upon Purchaser entering into a license agreement with Seller, as applicable, at no additional cost to Purchaser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Purchaser shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free
license for so long as Purchaser is building and selling homes in the Development, without the need for any further consent or approval by Seller, to use the name and logo of “Sky Ranch” in connection with the use, marketing, sales, development and
operation of the Property, provided that Purchaser shall comply with any requirements uniformly applicable to all homebuilders in Sky Ranch that Seller promulgates with respect to such usage.
20. Renderings. All renderings, plans or drawings of the Property or the Development, except as set forth in the Entitlements,
locating landscaping, trees and any improvements are artists’ conceptions only and may not accurately reflect their actual location. Purchaser waives any claims based upon any inaccuracy in the location of such items as depicted on the renderings,
plans or drawings, except as set forth in the Entitlements.
21. Communications Improvements. Seller
may, but is not obligated to, enter into an agreement with a service provider for the development and installation of Communication Improvements in all or any portion of the Development. “Communications
Improvements” means any equipment, property and facilities, if used or useful in connection with the delivery, deployment, provision or modification of (a) broadband Internet access service; (b) monitoring service, for the benefit of
governmental entities, quasi-governmental entities, or utilities, regarding the usage of electricity, gas, water and other resources; (c) video programming or content, including Internet protocol television (a/k/a “IPTV”) service; (d) voice over
Internet protocol (a/k/a “VoIP”) service; (e) telecommunications services, including voice; (f) any other service or services delivered by means of the Internet or otherwise delivered by means of digital signals; and (g) any other service or services
based on technology that is similar to or is a technological extension of any of the foregoing (“Service”). Communications Improvements do not include any equipment, facilities or property located or in
the home of a person who receives services from the service provider, such as, but not limited to routers, wireless access points, in-house wiring, set-top boxes, game consoles, gateways and other equipment under the control of the owner or occupant
of the home. Seller may grant to such service provider one or more permanent, non-exclusive, perpetual, assignable and recordable easements (collectively referred to as the “Easement”) to access and use
the Property and other property within the Development, as necessary, appropriate or desirable, to lay, install, construct, reconstruct, modify, operate, maintain, repair, enhance, upgrade, regulate, remove, replace and otherwise use the
Communications Improvements. So long as any such Easement does not materially adversely affect the title, use or construction of any Home on any Lot or the Lot on which it is located, Purchaser shall not object to and shall cooperate with Seller in
connection with the installation and operation of the Communications Improvements.
34
22. Soil Hauling. Purchaser shall be responsible for either relocating from the Property all surplus soil generated during
Purchaser’s construction of structures on the Property or to import any necessary fill required to complete Purchaser’s Overex activities or other construction activities. At the option of Seller, in its sole discretion, the surplus soil shall be
transported at Purchaser’s expense to a site designated by Seller within the Development; provided, that Seller has designated and made such a site available to Purchaser at the time Purchaser is ready to transport surplus soils, if any. If and to
the extent that Seller establishes stock pile site within the Development, Seller may modify any such stock pile locations from time to time in Seller’s discretion (but Purchaser shall not have any obligation to relocate any soil Purchaser previously
delivered to the prior designated stock pile site). At Seller’s request, Purchaser 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Seller does not establish a stock pile site or elects not to accept any surplus soils from Purchaser, then Purchaser 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. At the option of
Developer, in its sole discretion, if Builder needs to import any necessary fill that is required to complete Builder’s construction activities and Developer has fill dirt available on the Property, then Developer may make available to Builder, on
terms and conditions determined by Developer, any such fill dirt for transport at Builder’s expense.
23. Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List.
Purchaser represents and warrants to Seller that Purchaser is currently in compliance with and shall at all times prior to the Closing of this transaction remain in compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) of the United States Department of the Treasury (including those named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001,
Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto. Seller represents and warrants to Purchaser that Seller and all persons
and entities owning (directly or indirectly) an ownership interest in Seller are currently in compliance with and shall at all times prior to the Closing of this transaction remain in compliance with the regulations of the OFAC (including those named
on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons List) and any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001, Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions with Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit or Support
Terrorism), or other governmental action relating thereto.
35
(a) Seller’s Assignment. Seller may assign its rights and obligations under this Contract with respect to the Lots not yet Closed without the consent of Purchaser
to an entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with Seller. Subject to Purchaser’s reasonable consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, Seller may assign its rights and obligations under
this Contract to any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the Seller’s interests in such Lots which Seller reasonably believes has the financial ability and experience to perform Seller’s obligations under this Contract.
(b) Purchaser’s Assignment. The obligations of the Purchaser under this Contract are personal in nature, and neither this Contract nor any rights, interests, or
obligations of Purchaser under this Contract may be transferred or assigned without the prior written consent of Seller, except that Purchaser may assign its rights or obligations under this Contract, without the prior
written consent of Seller, to (i) any affiliate of Purchaser, or (ii) any third-party from which Purchaser has a contractual right to acquire the Lots pursuant to an option agreement or similar arrangement with such third-party, but Purchaser shall
not be released from any obligations hereunder.
25. Survival. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this
Contract, all covenants and agreements of either party which are intended to be performed in whole or in part after any Closing or termination of this Contract, and all representations, warranties and indemnities by either party to the other under
this Contract shall survive such Closing or termination of this Contract and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, however, that Seller’s Representations
pursuant to this Contract shall survive each respective Closing for a period of twelve (12) months, and any action by Purchaser based on a breach of any of such Seller’s Representations must be brought within such twelve (12) month period.
26. Condemnation. If a condemnation action is filed or either party receives written notice from
any competent condemning authority of intent to condemn which directly affects any Lot or Lots which Purchaser has a right to purchase, either party may at its sole discretion by written notice to the other party within ten (10) days following
receipt of such condemnation notice terminate this Contract as to the Lots subject to the condemnation action and receive a refund of a prorata portion of the Deposit with respect to those Lots only, and the parties shall have no further rights or
obligations with respect to those Lots. If the right to terminate is not exercised by either party, this Contract shall remain in full force and effect with respect to the Lot in question and upon exercise of the right to purchase the Lot, the
Closing shall proceed in accordance with the terms of this Contract. Any condemnation award shall be paid to the party who is the owner of the affected Lot at the time the award is determined by the condemning authority.
27. Brokers. Each party does hereby represent that it has not engaged any broker, finder, or real
estate agent in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Contract. Each party agrees to and does hereby indemnify and hold the other harmless from any and all fees, brokerage and other commissions or costs (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees), liabilities, losses, damages or claims which may result from any broker, agent or finder, licensed or otherwise, claiming through, under or by reason of the conduct of either of them respectively in connection with the purchase of
the Lots by Purchaser. This Section survives termination of this Contract and the Closings.
36
28. Default and Remedies. Time is of the essence hereof. If any amount received as a Deposit hereunder or any other payment
due hereunder is not paid by Purchaser, honored or tendered when due and payable, or if each Closing is not consummated as required in accordance with Section 8 above, or if any other covenant, agreement, obligation or condition hereunder is
not performed or waived as herein provided within five (5) days (or such longer period as expressly provided under this Contract) after the party failing to perform the same has received written notice of such failure, there shall be the following
remedies:
(a) Purchaser’s Default. If Purchaser is in default under this Contract, Seller may terminate this Contract, in which event the
Deposit shall be forfeited and retained on behalf of Seller, and both parties shall, except as otherwise provided herein, thereafter be released from all obligations hereunder. It is agreed that, except as otherwise provided in this subpart (a) and
in subparts (c) and (d) below and except with respect to indemnification by Purchaser as expressly set forth herein, such payments and things of value are LIQUIDATED DAMAGES and are SELLER’S SOLE AND ONLY REMEDY for Purchaser’s failure to perform the
obligations of this Contract prior to the Closing.
(b) Seller’s Default. If Seller is in default under this Contract, Purchaser may elect AS ITS SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY either: (i) to treat this Contract as
canceled, in which case the Deposit shall be returned to Purchaser, and Purchaser shall have the right to recover, as damages, all out‑of‑pocket expenses incurred by it in negotiating this Contract and in inspecting, analyzing or otherwise performing
its rights and obligations pursuant to this Contract, but in no event will the amount of such damages exceed Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00); or (ii) Purchaser may elect to treat this Contract as being in full force and effect and Purchaser shall
have a right to specific performance, provided that any such action for specific performance must be commenced within sixty (60) days after the expiration of the applicable notice and cure period provided herein, and, in the event specific
performance is not available due to the fraud or willful misconduct of Seller, then Purchaser shall have the right to recover actual damages, and in the event specific performance is not available for any other reason, then Purchaser may pursue the
remedy set forth in clause (i) above. Seller shall not be liable for and Purchaser shall not be entitled to recover exemplary, punitive, special, indirect, consequential, lost profits or any other damages (except for recovery of actual damages or
out‑of‑pocket expenses as set forth above).
(c) Indemnity. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Contract, any and all provisions of this Contract pursuant to which a party agrees to indemnify,
hold harmless and defend the other party from and against any losses, costs, claims, causes of action or liabilities of any kind or nature, or pursuant to which a party waives any rights or claims that it may have against the other party, shall
survive any termination of this Contract, and shall be and remain fully enforceable against a party in accordance with the terms of this Contract and applicable laws and is not limited by any other provisions set forth in this Section 28.
(d) Award of Costs and Fees. Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding, in the event of any litigation arising out of this Contract related to an action
for specific performance brought by either party as permitted in accordance with the terms of this Contract, the court shall award the substantially prevailing party all reasonable costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred by the
substantially prevailing party in the litigation or other proceedings.

(x) STORM WATER POLLUTION
PREVENTION PLAN. Seller has previously filed a Notice of Intent ("NOI") and/or prepared a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan ("SWPPP") to satisfy
its stormwater obligations arising from Seller’s work on the Property. Seller covenants that prior to each Closing Date and until Closing of the Lots, Seller and/or its contractor shall comply with the SWPPP with respect to all of the Lots subject
to this Contract which are owned by Seller, and shall comply with all local, state, and federal environmental obligations (including stormwater) associated with Seller’s development work on the Property. Seller shall indemnify and hold Purchaser
harmless from all claims and causes of action arising from breach of the foregoing covenants of Seller to the extent there is an uncured notice of violation issued with respect to any Lot prior to conveyance of such Lot to Purchaser. From and after
conveyance of Lots, and until such time as such Lots are subject to Purchaser’s SWPPP (as hereafter defined), Purchaser shall be solely responsible for complying with the SWPPP, installing and maintaining all required best management practices (“BMPs”), and conducting and documenting all required inspections. Purchaser shall also comply with all local, state, and federal environmental obligations (including stormwater) associated with its ownership of,
development of, and construction on the Lots conveyed to Purchaser by Seller. Such obligations include, without limitation, (i) complying with the SWPPP or the Purchaser’s SWPPP, as applicable, (ii) installing and maintaining all required BMPs
associated with Purchaser’s ownership of, development of, and construction on, the Lots (including without limitation silt fences), and (iii) conducting and documenting all required inspections. Purchaser covenants and Seller acknowledges that, with
respect to Lots acquired by Purchaser, Purchaser shall, within ten (10) days after conveyance of such Lots, at its sole cost and expense (subject to Seller’s prior written approval) submit its own notice of intent for a new stormwater pollution
prevention plan (the “Purchaser’s SWPPP”). Subsequent to the applicable Closing Date, Purchaser shall comply with the Purchaser’s SWPPP with respect to all of the Lots then owned by Purchaser, and shall
comply with all local, state, and federal environmental obligations (including stormwater) associated with its ownership of, development of, or construction on, all such Lots. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all third party
claims and causes of action solely arising from breach of the foregoing covenants of Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Seller is only responsible for complying with the SWPPP to the extent required to complete Seller’s development
work on the Property and is otherwise not obligated to install any other storm water management facilities on the Lots, as shown in the CDs, including without limitation, any SWPPP work to be conducted by Purchaser, its successors and assigns.

TO PAY IN THE YEAR SUBSEQUENT TO PURCHASE. A CHANGE IN OWNERSHIP OR PROPERTY IMPROVEMENTS TRIGGERS REASSESSMENTS OF THE PROPERTY THAT COULD RESULT IN HIGHER PROPERTY TAXES. IF PURCHASER HAS ANY QUESTIONS CONCERNING VALUATION, CONTACT THE COUNTY
PROPERTY APPRAISER’S OFFICE FOR INFORMATION.
(aa) Waiver of Jury Trial. 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 CONTRACT.

(together, the “Confidential Information”) shall be kept confidential as provided in this section. Without the prior written consent of the other party, prior to the first Closing or earlier termination
thereof, the Confidential Information shall not be disclosed by Purchaser, Seller or their Representatives (as hereinafter defined) in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, except (1) to their Representatives who need to know the Confidential

exercise of such easements, shall not be located within the building envelope of any Lot or otherwise interfere with the use of a Lot for construction of Grantee’s homes, shall not materially detract from the value, use or enjoyment of (i) the
remaining portion of the Property on which such easements are to be located, or (ii) any adjoining property of Grantee, and shall not require any reduction in allowed density for the Property or reconfiguration of planned lots or the building
envelope on a lot. If possible, such easements shall be located within the boundaries of existing easement areas. Grantor, at its sole expense, shall immediately restore the land and improvements thereon to their prior condition to the extent of any
damage incurred due to Grantor’s utilization of the easements herein reserved.
Reservation of Minerals and Mineral Rights. To the extent owned by Grantor, Grantor herein expressly excepts and reserves unto itself, its successors and assigns, all right, title and
interest in and to all minerals and mineral rights, including bonuses, rents, royalties, royalty interests and other benefits that may be payable as a result of any oil, gas, minerals or mineral rights on, in, under or that may be produced from the
Property, including, but not limited to, all oil, gas and other liquid hydrocarbon substances, casinghead gas, coal, carbon dioxide, helium, geothermal resources, and all other naturally occurring elements, compounds and substances, whether similar
or dissimilar, organic or inorganic, metallic or non-metallic, in whatever form and whether occurring, found, extracted or removed in solid, liquid or gaseous state, or in combination, association or solution with other mineral or non-mineral

in this paragraph and, without limiting such waiver, Grantor’s activities in extracting or otherwise dealing with the minerals and mineral rights shall not cause disturbance or subsidence of the surface of the Property or any improvements on the
Property.

all State Engineer filings, well registration statements, well permits, decrees and pending water court applications, if any, and all water well equipment or other personalty or fixtures currently used for the supply, diversion, storage, treatment or
distribution of water on or in connection with the Property, and all water and ditch stock relating thereto; provided that Grantor expressly waives all rights to use or damage the surface of the Property to exercise the rights reserved in this
paragraph and, without limiting such waiver, Grantor’s activities in dealing with the water and water rights herein reserved shall not cause disturbance or subsidence of the surface of the Property or any improvements on the Property.
Reimbursements and Credits. Grantee shall have no right to any reimbursements and/or cost-sharing agreements pursuant to any agreements entered into between Grantor or any of Grantor’s
affiliates and third parties which may or may not affect the Property. In addition, Grantee acknowledges that Grantor, its affiliates or one (1) or more metropolitan district(s) have installed or may install certain infrastructure improvements
(“Infrastructure Improvements”) and/or donate, dedicate and/or convey certain rights, improvements and/or real property (“Dedications”) to Arapahoe County (“County”) or other governmental authority (“Authority”) which benefit all or any part of the
Property, together with adjacent properties, and which entitle Grantor or its affiliates and/or the Property or any part thereof to certain reimbursements by the County or other Authority or credits by the County or other Authority for park fees,

EXHIBIT C
FINISHED LOT IMPROVEMENTS
1. “Finished Lot Improvements” means the following improvements on, to or with respect to the Lots or in public streets or tracts in the locations as required
by all approving Authorities to obtain building permits and certificates of occupancy for home improvements for the Lots, and substantially in accordance with the CDs:
(a) overlot grading together with corner pins for each Lot installed in place, graded to match the specified Lot drainage template within the
CDs (but not any Overex);
(b) water and sanitary sewer mains and other required installations in connection therewith identified in the CDs, valve boxes and meter pits,
substantially in accordance with the CDs approved by the approving Authorities, together with appropriate markers;
(c) storm sewer mains, inlets and other associated storm drainage improvements pertaining to the Lots in the public streets as shown on the CDs;
(d) curb, gutter, asphalt, sidewalks, street striping, street signage, traffic signs, traffic signals (if any are required by the approving
Authorities), and other street improvements, in the private and/or public streets as shown on the CDs; Seller will either have applied a final lift of asphalt or in Seller’s discretion posted sufficient financial guarantees as required by the
County for the Lots to qualify for issuance of building permits in lieu of such final lift of asphalt;
(e) sanitary sewer service stubs (in accordance with Rangeview’s rules and regulations) connected to the foregoing sanitary sewer mains,
installed into each respective Lot (to a point beyond any utility easement), together with appropriate markers of the ends of such stubs, as shown on the CDs;
(f) water service stubs connected to the foregoing water mains installed into each Lot (to a point beyond any utility easement), together with
appropriate markers of the ends of such stubs, as shown on the CDs;
(g) Lot fill in compliance with the geotechnical engineer’s recommendation, and with respect to any filled area or compacted area,
provide from a Colorado licensed professional soils engineer a HUD Data Sheet 79G Certification (or equivalent) and a certification that the compaction and moisture content recommendations of the soils engineer were followed and that the grading of
the respective Lots complies with the approved grading plans, with overlot grading completed in conformance with the approving Authorities approved grading plans within a +/- 0.2’ tolerance of the approved grading plans; however, the Finished Lot
Improvements do not include any Overex as provided in Section 10(e) of the Contract;
(h) all storm water management facilities as shown in the CDs; and
C-1
2. Dry Utilities. Electricity, natural gas, and telephone service will be installed by local utility companies. The installations may not be completed
at the time of a Closing, and are not part of the Finish Lot Improvements; provided, however, that: (i) with respect to electric distribution lines and street lights, Seller will have signed an agreement with the
electric utility service provider and paid all costs and fees for the installation of electric distribution lines and facilities to serve the Lots, and all sleeves necessary for electric, gas, telephone and/or cable television service to the Lots
will be installed; (ii) with respect to gas distribution lines, Seller will have signed an agreement with the gas utility service provider and paid all costs and fees for the installation of gas distribution lines and facilities to serve the Lots.
Seller will take commercially reasonable efforts to assist Purchaser in coordinating with these utility companies to provide final electric, gas, telephone and cable television service to the residences on the Lots, however, Purchaser must activate
such services through an end user contract. Purchaser acknowledges that in some cases the telephone and cable companies may not have pulled the main line through the conduit if no closings of residences have occurred. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if dry utilities have not been installed upon Substantial Completion of the Finished Lot Improvements, Seller shall be obligated to have contracted for same and paid all costs and fees payable for such installation. Unless Seller
has contracted for such installation and paid such costs before the Effective Date, Seller will give Purchaser notice when such contracts have been entered and such costs paid. With respect to any Finished Lot Improvements that are required by the
subdivision improvement agreement applicable to the Lots but which are not addressed as part of the Finished Lot Improvements, and any other improvements which are not required for the issuance of building permits but which are required by the
Authorities so that dwellings and other improvements constructed by Purchaser on the Lots are eligible for the issuance of certificates of occupancy for homes, Seller shall complete such other improvements, to the extent required by the County, so as
not to delay the issuance of certificates of occupancy for residences constructed by Purchaser on the Lots.
3. Tree Lawns/Sidewalks. Notwithstanding anything in the Contract to the contrary, Seller shall have no obligation to construct, install, maintain or pay for the maintenance, construction and installation of (i) any landscaping
or irrigation for such landscaping behind the curb on any Lot that is to be maintained by the owner of such lot (collectively, “Tree Lawns”), but Seller shall be responsible for constructing and
installing the detached sidewalks and ramps (collectively, “Sidewalks”) that are located immediately adjacent to any Lot or on a tract as required by the approved CDs, County, or any other Authority
and/or applicable laws as provided in this Contract. Purchaser shall be responsible for installing any other lead walks, pathways, and driveways and any other flatwork on the Lots. Purchaser shall install all Tree Lawns on or adjacent to the Lots
in accordance with all applicable CDs, requirements, regulations, laws, development codes and building codes of all Authorities.
C-2
4. Warranty.
(a) Government Warranty Period. The Authorities require warranty periods (each a “Government Warranty Period”) after the
final completion that is applicable to those Finished Lots Improvements that are dedicated to or owned, and accepted for maintenance by the Authorities (the “Public Improvements”). In the event defects
in the Public Improvements to which a governmental warranty (each a “Governmental Warranty”) applies become apparent during the applicable Government Warranty Period, then Seller shall coordinate the
repairs with the applicable 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 Authorities. Any costs and expenses incurred pursuant to a Government Warranty 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 Seller, unless such defect was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, in which event
Purchaser shall pay all such costs and expenses to the extent such defect was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents.
(b) Non-Government Warranty Period. Seller warrants (“Non-Government Warranty”) to Purchaser that each Finished Lot
Improvement, other than the Public Improvements, shall have been constructed in accordance with the CDs for one (1) year from the date of Substantial Completion of the Improvement (the “Non-Government Warranty
Period”). If Purchaser delivers written notice to Seller of breach of the Non-Government Warranty during the Non-Government Warranty Period, then Seller shall coordinate the corrections with Purchaser and cause the service provider(s)
who performed the work or supplied the materials in which the breach of Non-Government Warranty appears to complete such corrections or, if such service providers fail to make such corrections, otherwise cause such corrections to be made to the
reasonable satisfaction of Purchaser. Any costs and expenses incurred in connection with a breach of the Non-Government Warranty shall be borne by Seller (including, but not limited to, any costs or expenses incurred to enforce any warranties
against service providers), unless such breach was caused by Purchaser or its contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents, in which event Purchaser shall pay all such costs and expenses to the extent the breach was caused by Purchaser or its
contractors, subcontractors, employees, or agents.
(c) EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 4, SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND TO PURCHASER IN RELATION TO THE FINISHED LOT 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 AND SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY WITH
RESPECT TO ANY DEFECT IN IMPROVEMENTS FOR WHICH NO CLAIM IS ASSERTED DURING THE APPLICABLE WARRANTY PERIOD. If and to the extent C.R.S. 13.20-806(7) applies with respect to any claim arising out of residential property, nothing in this Agreement is
intended to constitute a waiver of, or limitation on, the legal rights, remedies or damages provided by the Construction Defect Action Reform Act, C.R.S. 00-00-000 et seq., or provided by the Colorado Consumer Protection Act, Article 1 of Title 6,
C.R.S., as described in the Construction Defect Action Reform Act, or on the ability to enforce such legal rights, remedies, or damages within the time provided by applicable statutes of limitation or repose.
