MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This MEMBERSHIP INTEREST PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of January 18, 2022, by and among Landsea Homes Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Landsea Homes of Florida LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Buyer”), the entities identified on Schedule A (each a “Seller” and, collectively, the “Sellers”), the entities identified on Schedule B (each, a “SAM Seller Member” and, collectively, the “SAM Seller Members”), and Stephen W. Orosz, Andrew J. Orosz, and J. Matthew Orosz (each, an “Orosz Principal” and, collectively, the “Orosz Principals”). Parent, Buyer, and each of the Sellers are each referred to in this Agreement individually as a “Party” and collectively as the “Parties.” The Parties agree that capitalized terms used in this Agreement shall have the meaning set forth herein, as further set forth or referenced to in Exhibit A attached hereto.

BACKGROUND

Each Seller owns the percentage of the membership interests (collectively, the “Interests”) of Hanover Family Builders, LLC, a Florida limited liability company (the “Company”), indicated on Exhibit B attached hereto, which collectively constitutes all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the Company.

On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in exchange for the consideration set forth in Section 1.3, Buyer desires to purchase from Sellers, and Sellers desire to sell, assign, convey and deliver to Buyer all of Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the issued and outstanding Interests, after which the Company shall become a wholly owned Subsidiary of Buyer (the “Transaction”).

[Intentionally omitted.]

Consistent with Revenue Ruling 99-6, Situation 2, the Parties hereto agree to treat, for United States federal and other applicable income Tax purposes, the sale by Sellers of the Interests to Buyer as follows: (a) as to the Sellers, as a sale of the Interests by the Sellers to Buyer governed by Section 741 of the Code; (b) as to Buyer, as if the Company had distributed its assets in liquidation of the Company to the Sellers, and as if the Sellers had sold to Buyer such assets received from the Company.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

Article 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF THE INTERESTS; CLOSING

1.1

Closing. The consummation of the Transaction (the “Closing”) shall take place electronically through an e-mail exchange of fully executed copies of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”).

1.2

Purchase and Sale of the Interests. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement each Seller hereby sells, assigns, conveys, transfers and delivers to Buyer, and Buyer hereby purchases and acquires from such Seller, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Interests held by such Seller, free and clear of all Liens (other than restrictions on sales of securities under the Securities Act), in exchange for such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price, subject to the terms and adjustments described in this Article 1.

1.3

Payments at Closing. Buyer agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, to each Seller such Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price by wire transfer of immediately available funds, in each case, to each Seller to the account or accounts designated in writing by such Seller.

1.4

Purchase Price Adjustment.

1.4.1

Estimated Closing Statement. Section 1.4.1 of the Company Disclosure Schedule contains a statement (the “Estimated Closing Statement”), jointly prepared by Sellers and Buyer, reflecting such parties’ calculation of the Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price, including (i) good-faith estimate of each component of the Transaction Expenses as of the Closing Date (the “Estimated Closing Transaction Expenses”) and (ii) the aggregate amount to be paid to each Seller at Closing in accordance with Section 1.2 hereof.

1.4.2

Closing Statement. As promptly as practicable, but no later than 90 days after the Closing Date, Buyer will cause to be prepared and delivered to Sellers a written statement (the “Closing Statement”) setting forth (i) Buyer’s good-faith calculations of each component of the Transaction Expenses of the Company as of the Closing Date (the “Closing Transaction Expenses”), (ii) Buyer’s good-faith estimate of the amount of Closing Working Capital, which shall be calculated in a manner materially consistent with the methodologies used in the calculations used to generate the Target Working Capital as set forth on Section 1.4.2 of the Company Disclosure Schedule and (iii) the Closing Date Purchase Price. As to any amounts which differ from those provided by Sellers, Buyer shall provide the reasons supporting Buyer’s revisions to the amounts provided by Sellers.

1.4.3

Statement Dispute Notice and Resolution Period. If either Seller disagrees with the calculations set forth in the Closing Statement delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.4.2, Sellers may, within thirty (30) days after receipt of the Closing Statement, deliver a written notice to Buyer (a “Statement Dispute Notice”) specifying in reasonable detail each item or amount (including such items or amounts on the Closing Statement impacted thereby) that Sellers dispute (the “Disputed Items”), the amount in dispute for each Disputed Item and the reasons supporting Sellers’ positions, provided that neither Buyer nor Sellers shall be entitled to contest the Base Purchase Price or the Target Working Capital. Sellers will be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts contained in the Closing Statement that are not Disputed Items. If Sellers fail to deliver a Statement Dispute Notice within such thirty (30)-day period, Buyer’s calculation of the Closing Working Capital or the Closing Transaction Expenses will be deemed accepted by Sellers and will be final, conclusive and binding on the Parties. If a Statement Dispute Notice is duly delivered pursuant to this Section 1.4.3, Buyer and Sellers will, during the thirty (30) days following such delivery (the “Resolution Period”), use commercially reasonable efforts to reach agreement on the Disputed Items, and if Buyer and Sellers are able to reach an agreement, Buyer will promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect such agreement and the same will then be deemed the Closing Statement. To the extent not set forth in the Dispute Notice, the Sellers shall be deemed to have agreed with Buyer’s calculation of all other Disputed Items contained in the Closing Statement.

1.4.4

Independent Accounting Firm. If, upon the conclusion of the Resolution Period, or any mutually-agreed upon extension of the Resolution Period, Buyer and Sellers are unable to reach agreement on all of the Disputed Items, they will jointly engage and submit the unresolved Disputed Items (the “Unresolved Items”) to the Independent Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with the terms of this Section 1.4.4. The Independent Accounting Firm (i) will make a determination with respect to the Unresolved Items only and in a manner consistent with this Section 1.4.4, (ii) will use the definitions set forth in this Agreement with no consideration given to any modification of such definitions, (iii) will be limited to those adjustments, if any, required to be made for the Closing Statement to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and (iv) will make a determination of the Unresolved Items within the range of values established for such Unresolved Items pursuant to Section 1.4.3. Each Party will provide the other Party with a copy of all materials provided to, and communications with, the Independent Accounting Firm and no Party (or any of its Affiliates or Representatives) will engage in any ex parte communication with the Independent Accounting Firm at any time with respect to the Unresolved Items. The Independent Accounting Firm may review the books and records of the Company to the extent necessary to obtain an understanding of the positions of Buyer and Sellers. The Independent Accounting Firm will deliver to Buyer and Sellers no later than thirty (30) days after its engagement, a written report setting forth (a) its determination of the values of the Unresolved Items and (b) the justifications for such determination. Such determination of the Independent Accounting Firm will be final, conclusive and binding upon Buyer and Sellers (absent fraud or manifest error) and Buyer will promptly revise the Closing Statement to reflect the Independent Accounting Firm’s calculations for the Unresolved Items upon receipt of such report including each component of the Closing Transaction Expenses and Closing Working Capital and such revised Closing Statement and each component part shall be deemed the Closing Statement for all purposes hereunder. The fees and expenses of the Independent Accounting Firm will be borne pro rata as between Buyer, on the one hand, and Sellers, on the other hand, based upon the proportionate deviation of the respective adjustments for the Unresolved Items proposed by Buyer and Sellers, as set forth in the Closing Statement in the case of Buyer and the Statement Dispute Notice in the case of Sellers, from the determination of the final adjustment for the Unresolved Items made by the Independent Accounting Firm. The date on which the Closing Transaction Expenses are finally determined in accordance with this Section 1.4 is referred to as the “Determination Date.”

1.4.5

Adjustment to Purchase Price. The “Adjustment Amount” means an amount equal to (a) the Closing Date Purchase Price (as finally agreed upon or determined pursuant to this Section 1.4), less (b) the Estimated Closing Date Purchase Price. If the Adjustment Amount is a positive amount, then promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, Buyer will pay or cause to be paid to Sellers, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by such Seller, each Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Adjustment Amount. If the Adjustment Amount is a negative amount (the absolute value of such amount, the “Shortfall Amount”), then promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days following the Determination Date, each Seller will pay or cause to be paid to Buyer, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by Buyer, each Seller’s Pro Rata Portion of the Shortfall Amount. Any payment of an Adjustment Amount shall be treated as an adjustment to the Closing Date Purchase Price for all Tax purposes unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

1.5

Withholding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Buyer, the Company and any Company Subsidiary (and any other Person that has a withholding obligation with respect to any payment made pursuant to this Agreement) shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any amounts otherwise payable pursuant to this Agreement to any Person such amounts as are required to be deducted and withheld under the Code (or any provision of applicable Law with respect to the making of such payment) with respect to such payment. Such withholding party shall timely remit such deduction or withholding to the appropriate Governmental Authority. To the extent that amounts are so deducted and withheld and remitted to the appropriate Governmental Authority, such deducted and withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as having been paid to such Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding were made; provided, however, that the parties shall reasonably cooperate to minimize any such withholding taxes.

1.6

Excluded Assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the following Assets of the Sellers (collectively, the “Excluded Assets”) are excluded from the Transaction, and will remain the property of the Sellers after the Closing:

1.6.1

all Tax refunds with respect to the Company for taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date, including, without limitation, all employee retention tax credits and Energy Tax Credits under Section 45L of the Code for all closed home sales before the Closing Date;

If the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability with respect to any such claim, the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party will proceed to negotiate a resolution of such dispute and, if not resolved through negotiations, such dispute will be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolutions terms of this Agreement.

7.3.2

Third Party Claims.

(a)

In order for an Indemnified Party to seek indemnification under this Article 7 with respect to any action, lawsuit, Proceeding, investigation or other claim brought against it by a third party (a “Third-Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party must give prompt written notice to the Indemnifying Party after receiving written notice of such Third-Party Claim, specifying the amount thereof (if known and quantifiable) and the basis of such claim; provided that, any failure to so notify or any delay in notifying the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or his obligations hereunder except to the extent the Indemnifying Party will have been actually and materially prejudiced as a result of such failure, or the indemnification obligations of the Indemnifying Party are materially increased as a result of such failure (in which case, the Indemnifying Party’s obligations will only be reduced to the extent of such material increase), or such claims notice was delivered after the expiration of the applicable survival period. With respect to any Third-Party Claim which, if adversely determined, would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled, at its sole cost and expense, (i) to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification or (ii) at its option (subject to the limitations set forth below), to assume control of such defense and appoint lead counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party; provided that, as a condition precedent to the Indemnifying Party’s right to assume control of such defense, it must first: (1) notify the Indemnified Party and agree in writing within ten (10) days after the Indemnified Party has given notice of the Third-Party Claim that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Party from and against the entirety of any Losses (without any limitations other than those set forth in Section 7.5) the Indemnified Party may suffer resulting from, arising out of, relating to, in the nature of, or caused by the Third-Party Claim in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; and (2) furnish the Indemnified Party with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party that the Indemnifying Party has sufficient resources to defend such Third-Party Claim and to satisfy its obligations to the Indemnified Party under this Article 7 in respect of such Third-Party Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume control of such defense if the Third-Party Claim which the Indemnifying Party seeks to assume control (A) seeks non-monetary relief, (B) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations, (C) involves a claim which, if adversely, determined, would be reasonably expected, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, to establish a precedent, custom or practice adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party or the Company, (D) seeks Losses in excess of the Cap or (E) involves a claim that, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party failed or is failing to vigorously prosecute or defend (each of the foregoing, an “Exception Claim”).

(b)

In the event that (i) the Indemnifying Party fails to elect to assume control of the defense of any Third-Party Claim in the manner set forth in Section 7.3.2(a) or (ii) such Third-Party Claim is or at any time becomes, an Exception Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any Judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to, the Third-Party Claim in any manner it may deem appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, any Indemnifying Party in connection therewith).

(c)

If the Indemnifying Party is controlling the defense of any Third-Party Claim in accordance with Section 7.3.2(a), (i) the Indemnified Party shall nonetheless have the right to participate in the defense of such Third-Party Claim giving rise to the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification, (ii) the Indemnifying Party will not consent to the entry of any Judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to or cease to defend such Third-Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided that, the Indemnified Party shall have no obligation of any kind to consent to the entrance of any Judgment or into any settlement unless such Judgment or settlement (1) is for only money damages, the full amount of which shall be paid by the Indemnifying Party, (2) includes, as a condition thereof, an express, unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from any further liability or obligation with respect to such Third-Party Claim and (3) would not be reasonably expected, in the good faith judgment of the Indemnified Party, to establish a precedent, custom or practice materially adverse to the continuing business interests or prospects of the Indemnified Party or the Company.

(d)

Irrespective of which Party controls the defense of any Third-Party Claim, the other Parties to this Agreement will, and will cause any non-Party Affiliate to, reasonably cooperate with the controlling Party in such defense and make available to the controlling Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in such non-controlling Party’s possession or under its control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the controlling Party. Nothing in this Section shall obligate any Party to (i) breach any duty of confidentiality owed to any Person, Law or Contract with any Person, or (ii) waive any privileges, including the attorney-client or attorney work-product privileges, provided that a Party shall use reasonable efforts to provide access to such information in a way, and to the extent possible, so as to preserve any applicable attorney-client or work-product privilege.

(e)

If a firm offer is made to settle a Third-Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form and with customary representations and warranties regarding due authority and that the released claims shall not be assigned, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all Losses in connection with such Third-Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, then the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent in writing to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days and promptly assumes the defense of such Third-Party Claim after the Indemnified Party’s receipt of such notice, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to continue to contest or defend such Third-Party Claim and in such event, the maximum liability of the Indemnifying Party as to such Third-Party Claim is not to exceed the amount of such settlement offer. If the Indemnified Party fails to consent to such firm offer within fifteen (15) days or fails to promptly assume defense of such Third-Party Claim, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to settle the Third-Party Claim upon the terms set forth in such firm offer to settle such Third-Party Claim. The parties shall act in good faith in responding to, defending against, settling or otherwise dealing with Third-Party Claims, and cooperate in any such defense and give each other reasonable access to all information relevant thereto.

7.4

Survival. Subject to the limitations contained in this Article 7, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement and in any Transaction Document shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement or such Transaction Documents and the consummation of the Transaction.

7.5.1

The Sellers and the SAM Seller Members will have no obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnified Parties against Losses pursuant to this Article 7, unless the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) (the “Threshold”), in which case such Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification from the Sellers and the SAM Seller Members for such Losses that exceed the Threshold up to an amount not to exceed Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000) (the “Cap”); provided, however, that (i) the Threshold will not apply to Losses based on (A) a breach of a Fundamental Representation of Sellers, (B) Sections 7.1.6, 7.1.7, 7.1.10 or 7.1.11, or (C) as provided in Section 7.10, for which, in each case, there will be no minimum threshold before recovery, and in each case, none of such Losses shall count towards the satisfaction of the Cap (and for which the Cap shall not apply), and (ii) with respect to any Losses pursuant to Section 7.1.9, Buyer Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification from Sellers and the SAM Seller Members for the full amount of all such Losses from and including the first dollar of all such Losses (exclusive of the Threshold), up to an amount not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the “Construction Cap”). All Losses that are applied to the satisfaction of the Construction Cap shall also apply to the satisfaction of the Cap but such Losses shall not count towards the Threshold.

7.5.2

Neither Buyer nor Parent will have any obligation to indemnify the Seller Indemnified Parties against Losses pursuant to this Article 7, unless the aggregate amount of such Losses exceeds the Threshold in which case such Seller Indemnified Parties will be entitled to indemnification from Buyer and Parent for such Losses that exceed the Threshold up to an amount not to exceed the Cap; provided, however, that the Threshold will not apply to Losses based on a breach of a Fundamental Representation of Buyer or Parent, or as provided in Section 7.10, for which, in each case, there will be no minimum threshold before recovery, and in each case, none of such Losses shall count towards the satisfaction of the Cap (and for which the Cap shall not apply). Other than with respect to Losses recoverable pursuant to Section 7.10, in no event shall Losses exceed the Base Purchase Price.

7.6

Certain Other Restrictions on Indemnification.

7.6.1

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no Indemnified Party will have any right to indemnification under this Agreement with respect to any Losses to the extent (and only to the extent) such Losses (a) arise solely out of changes after the Closing Date in applicable Law or interpretations or applications thereof (provided that this clause (a) shall not apply with respect to any Taxes of the Company or any Company Subsidiary for a Pre-Closing Tax Period or allocable to the portion of a Straddle Period ending on the Closing Date) or (b) are duplicative of Losses that have previously been recovered hereunder.

7.6.2

The Parties agree to treat any indemnification payments received pursuant to this Agreement for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Closing Date Purchase Price to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

7.6.3

Except to the extent the same may be payable to third parties in connection with Third-Party Claims, Indemnified Losses shall not include, and no Indemnified Party shall be entitled to be indemnified for, special, punitive, benefit of the bargain, expectancy, exemplary, indirect, consequential, “lost profits,” “anticipated savings,” lost value, or similar damages, including multiples of damages or business impact damages, whether or not contemplated, foreseeable, or noticed.

7.6.4

With respect to any Losses pursuant to Section 7.1.9, the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall first apply applicable warranty reserves of the Company for such applicable project and use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recourse against applicable insurance of the Company in effect as of the Closing Date and to pursue any recovery from any applicable insurance policy in effect as of the Closing Date, before seeking recourse against Sellers or the SAM Seller Members under this Article 7.

7.7

Calculation and Mitigation of Losses.

7.7.1

The amount of Losses subject to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 shall be reduced by any insurance proceeds received by the applicable Indemnified Party with respect to such Losses (net of any deductible, co-payment or increases in premium and all out of pocket costs related to such recovery) from any insurance carrier pursuant to any insurance coverage in place as of the date of this Agreement. If any insurance proceeds are subsequently recovered by the Indemnified Party from an insurance carrier after payment has been made by the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party in accordance with this Article 7 with respect to the Losses to which such insurance recoveries relate, then the Indemnified Party shall promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party such insurance recoveries (net of any deductible, co-payment, or increases in premium and all out of pocket costs related to such recovery); provided that, in no event shall the Indemnified Party have any obligation hereunder (a) to remit to the Indemnifying Party any portion of such insurance recoveries in excess of the indemnification payment or payments actually received from the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Losses, or (b) to make any insurance claims or to pursue any recovery from any insurance carrier or third party with respect thereto, except as required pursuant to Section 7.6.4. The amount of any indemnified Loss for which indemnification is provided under this Article 7 shall be net of any Tax benefits actually recognized by the Indemnified Party on account of such indemnified Loss in the year of such indemnified Loss in excess any out of pocket costs (including Taxes) with respect to the receipt, distribution or payment over of such Tax benefits; provided, this sentence shall not be construed to give any Sellers or SAM Seller Members any right to review Buyer’s Tax Returns or any other information relating to Taxes that Buyer deems confidential. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, after Closing, solely with respect to matters affecting title to the Owned Real Property, Buyer shall first use commercially reasonable efforts to seek recourse against the applicable title company pursuant to any applicable title insurance policies affording coverage in favor of the Company or any Company Subsidiary regarding the same (collectively, the “Title Policies”) before seeking indemnity from Sellers with respect thereto under this Agreement (to the extent permitted thereby). However, if the applicable title company denies coverage under any of the Title Policies, or Buyer’s Losses are in excess of such coverage (including any deductible, co-payment or increases in premium and all out of pocket costs related to such recovery), Buyer may seek indemnity from Sellers with respect thereto under this Agreement.

7.7.2

To the extent that any Indemnifying Party has an indemnification obligation pursuant to this Article 7 to an Indemnified Party, such Indemnified Party may set off the amount of such indemnification obligation against any amounts then due and unpaid by such Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party within the time period allowed for such payment.

7.7.3

In the event that the Closing occurs, each Seller and SAM Seller Member agrees that such Seller or SAM Seller Member will not seek, nor will they be entitled to, reimbursement or contribution from, subrogation to, or indemnification by, the Company or any Company Subsidiary under the applicable organizational documents, this Agreement, applicable corporate Laws or any other applicable Laws or otherwise, in respect of any amounts due from any Seller or SAM Seller Member to any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article 7 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement. Each Seller and SAM Seller Member further agrees not to make any claims against any director and officer insurance in respect of amounts due by any Seller and SAM Seller Member to any Buyer Indemnified Party under this Article 7 or otherwise in connection with this Agreement.

7.7.4

None of Sellers, SAM Seller Members or the Orosz Principals shall be liable under this Agreement for breach of any representations or warranties made in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents if Sellers can demonstrate Buyer’s Knowledge of such inaccuracy or breach that existed before Closing (solely to the extent and degree of Buyer’s Knowledge with respect to such inaccuracy or breach); provided, that, for purposes of the foregoing, Buyer shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of all Permitted Liens, copies of which were made available to Buyer, and, subject to Section 9.13, all matters set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule to the extent, in each case, such matters qualify the representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement.

7.7.5

The party seeking indemnification under this Article 7 shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate any indemnified Loss which forms the basis of an indemnification claim hereunder.

7.8

Manner of Payment. Any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Article 7 shall be effected by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated by the Seller Indemnified Party or Buyer Indemnified Party, as the case may be, within five (5) Business Days after the determination of the amount thereof, whether pursuant to a final Judgment, settlement or agreement among the Parties hereto.

7.9

Landbank Transaction.

7.9.1

Concurrently with the Closing, Buyer and each of SAM Edge LB Fund I, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, HFB Lake Lincoln, LLC, a Florida limited liability company, HFB Legacy Landings LLC, and HFB Bargrove, LLC (collectively, the “Landbanker”) are entering into those certain Option Agreements with respect to the Celery Oaks community (Seminole County), Bargrove community (Orange County), Lake Lincoln community (Lake County), and Legacy Landings community (Polk County) (collectively the “Landbank Option Agreements”) with respect to a landbank transaction related to the Transferred Projects (collectively, the “Landbank Transaction”). In connection with the Landbank Transaction, and pursuant to the terms of the documents governing the same, Buyer is obligated to pay Landbanker consideration that includes, in part, the amount of Thirteen Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($13,100,000) (the “Landbank Transaction Premium”), which $13,100,000 amount represents the “premium” or “step-up” amounts associated with the Transferred Projects. The Landbank Transaction Premium is amortized over the takedowns under the Landbank Option Agreements pursuant to the applicable schedules thereto. The parties acknowledge, that but for the Landbank Transaction, the Transferred Projects would have remained indirectly owned by the Company and remained part of the assets indirectly acquired by Buyer in connection with the Closing of the Transaction. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary: (a) a Buyer Indemnified Party must first seek indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 by offsetting amounts against the unamortized Landbank Transaction Premium remaining (if any) before seeking indemnification from the Sellers, SAM Seller Members or the Orosz Principals directly, and (b) any such amounts offset against the Landbank Transaction Premium shall constitute full satisfaction of any obligation of the Sellers, SAM Seller Members, or the Orosz Principals, as applicable, to make such payment of such amount to the applicable Buyer Indemnified Party (but solely to the extent of such offset, and only if such offset is actually realized by Buyer in connection with the purchase of Lots (as defined in the Landbank Option Agreements) pursuant to the applicable Landbank Option Agreement).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) pursuant to the Landbank Option Agreements, each of Landbanker and Sellers agree that in no event shall the Landbank Transaction Premium be reduced pursuant to the above-referenced amortization methodology to a cumulative amount of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), in the aggregate, until the date that is one (1) year following the consummation of the Closing. In the event that, but for the restriction set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, the remaining Landbank Transaction Premium as of the date that is one (1) year following the consummation of the Closing would have otherwise been less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00), then the Landbank Option Agreements shall provide that the balance of the Landbank Transaction Premium shall be re-amortized across the remaining property to be acquired by Buyer pursuant to the Landbank Option Agreements. In addition, notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above, nothing set forth in this Section 7.9 shall obligate Buyer to purchase any of the Lots (as defined in the Landbank Option Agreements) pursuant to the Landbank Option Agreements (except to the extent expressly set forth in the Landbank Option Agreements).

7.9.2

Subject in each case to the limitations set forth in this Article 7, in the event that any Buyer Indemnified Parties have made a claim for Losses pursuant to this Article 7 prior to the date that is one (1) year from the date of Closing, which claim remains unresolved as of the date that is one (1) year from the date of Closing and that would otherwise be appropriate for offset against the Landbank Transaction Premium as set forth above (a “Pending Claim”), then the Landbank Transaction Premium shall continue to paid to the Landbanker in the manner set forth in the Landbank Option Agreements, but the Sellers shall thereafter (i) remain validly formed and in good standing until the resolution of the Pending Claim, and (ii) maintain liquid cash assets in a cumulative amount equal to the lesser of the (x) the amount claimed by Buyer via the Pending Claim (if a liquidated sum is reasonably discernable), or (y) the amount of the Construction Cap or Cap, as applicable to the Pending Claim, subject to quarterly verification at the request of Buyer, until the date of the resolution of the Pending Claim.

7.10

Special Rule for Fraud. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 7 to the contrary, in the event of any breach of a representation or warranty that results from Fraud, in each case, by or on behalf of (a) any Seller or any SAM Seller Member (or any of their officers or directors) or (b) Buyer or Parent (or any of their officers or directors), then (x) such representation, warranty or covenant will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the Transaction and will continue in full force and effect for the period of the applicable statute of limitations without regard to Section 7.4, (y) the limitations set forth in this Article 7 shall not apply to any Loss that the Buyer Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, respectively, may suffer, sustain or become subject to, as a result of, arising out of, relating to, or in connection with, any such breach and (z) none of such Losses shall be subject to or shall count towards the satisfaction of the Cap.

Interpretation.

9.5.1

Except as otherwise provided or unless the context otherwise requires, whenever used in this Agreement, (a) the terms “include” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation,” (b) the word “or” will be inclusive and not exclusive, (c) all references to Sections or Articles refer to the Sections or Articles of this Agreement, all references to Schedules (including the Company Disclosure Schedule and the Buyer Disclosure Schedule) refer to the Schedules attached to or delivered with this Agreement, as appropriate, and all references to Exhibits refer to the Exhibits attached to this Agreement, each of which is incorporated by reference and made a part of this Agreement for all purposes, (d) each reference to “herein” means a reference to “in this Agreement,” (e) each reference to “herein” means a reference to “in this Agreement,” (f) each reference to “$” or “dollars” will be to United States dollars, (g) each reference to “days” will be to calendar days (h) unless otherwise specified, each reference to any Law will be to such Law as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, (i) the term “made available” (or terms with similar import) shall mean posted, and viewable by the Buyer and its representatives, in the electronic data room established by the Sellers in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement, and (j) all information and materials made available (i.e., at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date of this Agreement) to Buyer in such electronic data room will be deemed to have been reviewed by Buyer.

9.5.2

The provisions of this Agreement will be construed according to their fair meaning and neither for nor against any Party irrespective of which Party caused such provisions to be drafted. Accordingly, any rule of law or legal decision that would require interpretation of any ambiguities in this Agreement against the Party that drafted it is of no application and is hereby expressly waived. Each Party acknowledges that it has been represented by an attorney in connection with the preparation and execution of the Transaction Documents.

9.6

Governing Law. This Agreement is made pursuant to, and will be construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Delaware, irrespective of the principal place of business, residence or domicile of the Parties, and without giving effect to otherwise applicable principles of conflicts of Law that would give effect to the Laws of another jurisdiction (except that the provision of the laws of Florida shall apply with respect to any provisions set forth herein where such laws are mandatorily applicable to the transactions contemplated hereby). Each of the Parties hereto agrees (a) that this Agreement involves at least $100,000.00, and (b) that this Agreement has been entered into by the parties hereto in express reliance upon 6 Del.

Each Party irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (or, if subject matter jurisdiction in that court is not available, in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, if neither the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware nor the United States District Court for the District of Delaware has subject matter jurisdiction, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware) for purposes of any Proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Transaction.

9.9

Section Headings. The section headings of this Agreement are for reference purposes only and will not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

9.10

Severability. If any provision of this Agreement (or portion thereof) or the application of any such provision (or portion thereof) to any Person or circumstance is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced pursuant to any applicable Law or public policy, all other provisions of this Agreement (or remaining portion of such provision) will nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination by a court of competent jurisdiction that any provision (or portion thereof) of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties will negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner, to the end that the Transaction as originally contemplated is fulfilled to the extent possible.

9.11

Counterparts; Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, including by facsimile or PDF transmission, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of such counterparts together will be deemed to be one and the same agreement. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of each Party, and, except as set forth in Section 5.5 or Article 7, nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or will confer upon any other Person any right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

9.12

Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the Buyer Disclosure Schedule, the Company Disclosure Schedule, the exhibits hereto, the other Transaction Documents and the Confidentiality Agreement, constitute the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the Transaction and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, both written and oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof. There are no warranties, representations, or other agreements between the Parties hereto, or on which any of them has relied in connection with the subject matter hereof, except as specifically set forth in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

9.13

Disclosure Schedules. Nothing in the Company Disclosure Schedule is intended to broaden the scope of any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement. Any exception or qualification set forth on the Company Disclosure Schedule with respect to a particular representation, warranty or covenant contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be an exception or qualification with respect to other applicable representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement to the extent that it is reasonably apparent from the face of such disclosure that such disclosure is applicable thereto. The inclusion of any matter or item in the Company Disclosure Schedule shall not (a) be deemed to be an admission or evidence of the materiality of such item, nor shall it establish a standard of materiality for any purpose or (b) constitute, or be deemed to be, an admission to any third party concerning such information. The reference to any document in the Disclosure Schedule is deemed to include any and all exhibits, schedules, amendments, supplements, annexes and other attachments to such document to the extent such exhibits, schedules, amendments, supplements, annexes or other attachments have been previously made available to the applicable Party. Matters reflected in the Company Disclosure Schedule are not necessarily limited to the matters required by this Agreement to be disclosed in the Company Disclosure Schedule. Such additional matters are set forth for informational purposes only and do not necessarily include other matters of a similar nature.

9.14

Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Parties would be damaged irreparably if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or otherwise were breached or violated. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, without posting bond or other undertaking, the other Parties will be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches or violations of this Agreement and to enforce specifically this Agreement in any claim, action, cause of action or suit (whether in Contract or tort or otherwise), litigation (whether at law or in equity, whether civil or criminal), controversy, assessment, arbitration, investigation, hearing, charge, complaint, demand, notice or Proceeding to, from, by or before any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Parties and the matter in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled, at law or in equity. Each Party further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such breach or violation, it will not assert the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate or that the consideration reflected in this Agreement was inadequate or that the terms of this Agreement were not just and reasonable.

9.15

Development Considerations Regarding Kentucky Square. The Parties acknowledge that that certain development included as part of the Owned Real Property and generally known as “Kentucky Square” located in Seminole County, Florida, has been entitled to include two (2) commercial outparcels with frontage on Lake Mary Boulevard (the “Commercial Outparcels”). Including the Commercial Outparcels in the scheme of development has provided various benefits and efficiencies to the concurrent entitlement of the residential development, although the Commercial Outparcels are not otherwise suitable for residential development. Upon the completion by the Company of the master site development by Buyer (including, without limitation, installation of all roads, infrastructure and utilities) and the completion of the recordation of a plat of subdivision, which shall include the subdivision of the Commercial Outparcels into two distinct legal tracts, the Company and/or the appropriate Company Subsidiary shall enter into a “FAR-BAR” form of As-Is Commercial Contract with an affiliated entity designated by the Seller Members, for the sale by the Company of the Commercial Outparcels for cumulative consideration of $10,000.00, and shall thereafter use commercially reasonable efforts to diligently pursue the same until the consummation of the closing contemplated thereunder. As part of the completion of the entitlement of the Kentucky Square project, Buyer covenants that it shall not impose, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid the imposition of, any undue restrictions on the future development and/or use of the Commercial Outparcels. The provisions of this Section 9.15 shall expressly survive the Closing.
