The Purchase Price per Lot shall be paid by Buyer to Seller at the Closing (as defined in Section 9) of each Lot purchase, and shall automatically increase at the rate of six percent (6%) per annum simple interest commencing on the Effective Date until the date of the Closing for such Lot (the “Escalator”).

¹ Note – This form contemplates the delivery of finished lots with development facilitated by Hanover. The parties agree and acknowledge that the form shall vary depending on the facts and circumstances of a particular transaction (i.e. - finished lots, permitted and engineered paper lots, raw land, etc…). The form is intended for example and template purposes.

(a)            Within three (3) business days of the Effective Date, Buyer shall deliver to Fidelity National Title Insurance Company, Attention Sam Sobering, 2400 Maitland Center Parkway, Suite 200, Maitland, FL 32751, Telephone: (407) 670-2441, Email: Sam.Sobering@fnf.com (the “Escrow Agent”), the sum of [$___________] as an earnest money deposit (the “Earnest Money Deposit”). The Earnest Money Deposit shall be held and retained by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Contract in an interest or non-interest bearing account at Buyer’s option, and shall be disbursed by Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Contract. The Earnest Money Deposit shall be held by the Escrow Agent and reduced at the time of each Closing hereunder pro rata based on the number of Lots in such Closing and credited to the Purchase Price for each Lot purchased hereunder commencing at the Initial Closing hereunder, until the last and final Closing hereunder (the “Final Closing”) (as described in Section 9) contemplated hereunder, at which time the remainder of the Earnest Money Deposit shall be credited in favor of Buyer against the Purchase Price at the Final Closing. All interest earned on the Earnest Money Deposit while in escrow shall become part of the Earnest Money Deposit and paid to the party entitled to the Earnest Money Deposit. If Buyer elects to terminate this Contract at any time prior to expiration of the Inspection Period (as defined below) or Buyer does not deliver the Approval Notice (as defined below) to Seller prior to expiration of the Inspection Period, Escrow Agent shall immediately, without any further instructions, return the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyer and, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination of this Contract, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder.

(b)            The Purchase Price per Lot shall be paid to Seller by Buyer through Escrow Agent at the time of each Closing hereunder by federal funds wire transfer or other immediately available funds acceptable to Seller.

3.              Evidence of Title. Within fifteen (15) days from Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer, at Seller’s expense, a Title Insurance Commitment for an owner’s title insurance policy (the “Commitment”) issued by Escrow Agent in its capacity as title insurer (the “Title Company”) in the amount of the total base Purchase Price for all of the Lots comprising the Property evidencing that Seller is vested with fee simple marketable title to the Property, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications whatsoever save and except for: (a) the “Permitted Exceptions” as defined in Section 9 and (b) those exceptions to title which are to be discharged by Seller at or before the Closing thereof. Legible and complete copies of all documents set forth on the Commitment shall be delivered to Buyer with the Commitment. The Commitment shall also evidence that upon the execution, delivery and recordation of the Deed (defined below) to be delivered pursuant to the provisions of this Contract and the satisfaction of all requirements specified in Schedule B, Section 1 of the Commitment, Buyer shall acquire fee simple title to the Property, subject only to the Permitted Exceptions, and shall agree to insure any easements benefitting the Property. If Buyer or its attorneys shall determine the Commitment does not meet the requirements specified above, or that the title to the Property or the applicable Lots is unsatisfactory for any reason, Buyer shall notify Seller of that fact in writing within thirty (30) days after Buyer’s receipt of the Commitment, but in no event following the expiration of the Inspection Period (the “Title Defect Notice”). The Title Defect Notice shall specify those liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications to title which are unsatisfactory to Buyer, any such liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications being hereinafter referred to as the “Title Defects”.

At least ten (10) days prior to each Closing of Lots at and after the Initial Closing, Seller will deliver an updated Commitment for the Lots being then purchased, together with copies of any additional matters identified therein, which updated Commitment shall be in the aggregate base Purchase Price (including the Escalator applicable thereto) of the Lots being purchased. Buyer may object to any matters not shown in prior Commitments issued to it for previous Closings, each of which shall be deemed a Title Defect for which Buyer has delivered a Title Defect Notice to Seller, unless otherwise waived in writing by Buyer.

(a)            Seller shall have thirty (30) days following its receipt of the Title Defect Notice during which to undertake a good faith, diligent, and continuous effort to cure, removes, or satisfies the Title Defects to the satisfaction of the Title Company and Buyer. The Title Company’s election to remove, provide affirmative insurance over, or insure over a Title Defect shall be deemed a satisfactory resolution for all purposes pursuant to the preceding sentence. Seller’s failure to timely deliver such written notice shall be deemed Seller’s election not to remove such Title Defect(s). If Seller elects not to remove any such Title Defect, then Buyer may terminate this Contract within five (5) days after Seller’s delivery (or deemed delivery) of its election not to remove any such Title Defect(s), in which case Escrow Agent shall immediately, without any further instructions, return the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyer and, except for any obligations that expressly survive termination of this Contract, neither party shall have any further obligation or liability hereunder. If Buyer fails to terminate this Contract pursuant to the preceding sentence, Buyer shall be deemed to have waived such Title Defect, and Seller shall thereafter have no obligation to cure or remove the same. If Seller removes the Title Defects within such thirty (30) day period (as the same may be extended below), the applicable Closing shall take place on the later of (i) the date specified in this Contract or (ii) ten (10) days after the earlier of (a) the end of said thirty (30) day cure period (or the end of the extended cure period set forth below) or (b) Seller’s delivery to Buyer of written evidence of the removal of such Title Defects and an updated Commitment evidencing such removal, whichever is sooner. If the foregoing results in any delay of a scheduled Closing, then the Escalator shall abate (i.e., not accrue) during such period of delay. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be obligated to remove any Title Defect, except that, whether or not Buyer objects, Seller shall on or before each Closing: (a) satisfy and otherwise remove from title to the Property any mortgage, deed of trust, mechanics lien or other monetary liens, all to the extent claimed by or through Seller, affecting the Property other than the lien for any current and non-delinquent real property taxes and assessments (“Monetary Liens”); (b) terminate all leases, possessory agreements, licenses, and operating agreements that affect the Property and cause all parties-in-possession title exceptions shown on the Commitment, if any, to be deleted; (c) pay any taxes, assessments and homeowner association assessments for the current year (which shall be prorated in accordance herewith); (d) remove any encumbrances caused by or claimed by or through Seller after the Effective Date (collectively with the Monetary Liens, the “Seller Removal Items”); and (e) execute and deliver at Closing at affidavit sufficient to allow the Title Company to delete the mechanic’s liens, possession, and unrecorded matters exceptions, to insure the so-called “gap” between the effective date of the Commitment (or updated title commitment) and the recordation of the Deed (defined below) (if Buyer agrees to proceed with any Closing on a “gap” basis in its sole and absolute discretion). Additionally, Seller covenants for the benefit of Buyer that Seller shall not further encumber any Lots or grant any interest therein to any third parties after the effective date of the Commitment, and should Seller do so, Seller shall be required to remove any such matter prior to each Closing (failing which Seller shall be in default under this Contract, notwithstanding the provisions of the next paragraph).

If Seller (a) is unable to remove the Title Defects within the thirty (30) day cure period allowed hereunder or (b) provides written notice to Buyer that, notwithstanding Seller’s good faith efforts (without the obligation to incur material expense or institute litigation), Seller is unable to remove the Title Defects at any time prior to the expiration of the foregoing thirty (30) day cure period, Buyer shall within ten (10) days of the expiration of the cure period or receipt of Seller’s notice as aforesaid, provide Seller with written notice (i) electing to terminate this Contract as to all Lots that have not then been acquired by Buyer, (ii) extending the date of any Closing for a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days to allow Seller to continue to attempt to remove any such Title Defect, (iii) substituting the Lot or Lots affected by any such Title Defect with other Lots of a comparable nature (i.e. – Interior / Exterior / Water / Conservation / View / Size / Location / Topography / etc.), and deferring the purchase of such Lot or Lots that are the affected by the Title Defects until such time as Seller has removed the same, or (iv) electing to waive the Title Defects and to accept the conveyance of such Lots subject to the Title Defects without abatement of the Purchase Price, in which event the applicable Closing shall take place on the later of (i) the date specified in this Contract or (ii) ten (10) days after the end of said initial thirty (30) day Title Defects cure period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a Title Defect that cannot be removed by Seller impacts more than ten percent (10%) of the Lots, Buyer shall make an election under item (i), (ii) or (iv), above. If Buyer makes the election under item (ii) and Seller does not remove the Title Defects within such additional period, then Buyer shall make an election under item (i), (ii) or (iv), above, within ten (10) days after the expiration of such cure period. The failure of the Buyer to provide timely notice pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be deemed an election to waive the Title Defects and proceed to Closing. If Buyer elects to terminate this Contract because of the existence of uncured Title Defects, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights, duties, obligations or liabilities, at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to this Contract except for those that specifically survive termination of this Contract pursuant to other sections hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller fails to timely remove any Seller Removal Item, Seller shall be in default under this Contract.

4.             Survey and Due Diligence Materials. Within five (5) business days from the Effective Date, Seller shall deliver to Buyer copies of all surveys, plats, maps, drawings, plans, and other documents pertaining to the development of the Subdivision and/or the Lots, all title reports, title commitments and title policies issued to Seller and pertaining to any portion of the Property or any of the Lots, all environmental, endangered species, and other reports, technical data, utility capacity information, soil and hydrological reports, permits, zoning stipulations, agreements, and requirements and concurrency agreements and certificates, any proposed or existing leases, licenses, easements, development agreements and other agreements affecting the Property, all approved site plans including copies of any resolutions or ordinances approving the site plans, all contracts with engineers, other design professions and contractors relating to development of the Lots, any unrecorded documents pertaining to the governance of the Subdivision pursuant to the Subdivision Documents (as defined below), including, without limitation, the most recent budget for the homeowners’ association, together with any other similar materials relating to the Property which are in Seller’s possession or control and the contact information for the engineers and sitework contractor for the Subdivision (each of whom Buyer shall be authorized to contact, discuss the Lots, the Subdivision, and/or its development with, and, if desired by Buyer, retain at Buyer’s expense), but expressly excluding, in each case, any internal memoranda, analysis, documents, studies or correspondence of Seller regarding the Property or any attorney-client privileged material (collectively, the “Due Diligence Materials”). Within five (5) business days following the delivery by Seller to Buyer of the Due Diligence Materials, Buyer and Seller shall prepare and mutually agree on a written list itemizing the Due Diligence Materials that have been delivered, subject to further addition as set forth herein below. To the extent any of the items described above were obtained by Seller from third-party consultants paid by Seller and/or with whom Seller contracted and such items are not otherwise addressed to Buyer, Seller shall, at no material out-of-pocket cost to Seller, cooperate with Buyer to cause each such preparer of such items to provide Buyer with a reliance letter reasonably acceptable to Buyer confirming Buyer’s right to rely upon and use such items. In addition, Seller shall promptly furnish to Buyer for its review any of the items described above that may come into Seller’s possession or control from and after the Effective Date, and any additional documents and information pertaining to the Lots and/or the Subdivision in the possession or control of Seller reasonably requested in writing by Buyer.

Buyer, at its expense and prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, may obtain a boundary survey of the Property (the “Survey”) showing the location and dimensions of all boundaries, encroachments, overlaps, easements, utilities, right-of-ways and improvements thereon, and such other matters as requested by Buyer. Additionally, Buyer, at its expense, may obtain a boundary survey of any Lots prior to the applicable Closing thereof. The Survey shall be prepared by a land surveyor duly licensed and registered as such in the State of Florida, and shall, at a minimum, be certified in accordance with the minimum technical standards set forth by the Florida Board of Land Surveyors without qualification by such surveyor to Buyer and Seller and the Title Company, shall set forth an adequate and accurate legal description of the Property or the applicable Lots being surveyed, and shall otherwise be in a form satisfactory to Buyer and the Title Company to eliminate the standard survey exception from the title insurance policy to be issued at Closing. Buyer shall notify Seller prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period specifying those adverse matters shown on the Survey which are not acceptable to Buyer with respect to the Property or the applicable Lots being surveyed, as applicable, and the same shall thereupon be deemed to be Title Defects hereunder and addressed in the manner provided in Section 3 entitled “Evidence of Title.”

5.              Possession. Sole and exclusive possession of the applicable Lots being conveyed shall be surrendered by Seller and delivered to Buyer at the time of each Lot Closing hereunder. Prior to surrender of possession, Seller shall commit or permit no waste, deterioration or destruction of the Property, normal wear and tear excepted, and shall bear all risk of loss of whatever nature. Effective immediately upon a Closing, any personal property remaining on the Lots acquired at such Closing shall be deemed abandoned and may be removed and disposed of by Buyer.

(b)            All of the representations and warranties made herein are true, correct and complete in all material respects as of the date hereof; provided, however, that all representations and warranties contained in this Contract are only as to the best actual knowledge of Buyer, without any independent investigations or inquiries.

8.              Inspections; Right of Entry. Buyer and its agents and consultants, shall have a period commencing on the Effective Date and ending at 5:00 p.m. EST on the [forty-fifth (45^th)] day after the Effective Date (the “Inspection Period”) in which to undertake, at Buyer’s expense, any and all physical inspections and other investigations of and concerning the Property as Buyer, in its sole and absolute discretion, may deem appropriate or necessary for the determination by Buyer as to the sufficiency and desirability of the Property for the purposes and uses intended by Buyer, including, without limitation, obtaining and reviewing zoning approvals or regulations, surveys, percolation tests, engineering studies, soil and environmental tests, utilities, title, licenses, permits, easements, parking availability and capacity, and other related matters (collectively, the “Feasibility Study”). Seller shall provide reasonable access to the Property to Buyer and its agents and consultants to permit Buyer to conduct the Feasibility Study.

Seller hereby grants to Buyer and Buyer’s agents, consultants, assigns, contractors, representatives and other persons designated by Buyer, provided Buyer is not in default beyond the applicable notice and cure period with respect to its obligations under this Contract, full right of entry upon the Property during the term of this Contract. Buyer, on its own behalf and, as a condition precedent to the exercise of such right of entry, specifically agrees to defend, indemnify and save and hold Seller harmless from and against any loss, damage, liability, suit, claim, cost or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees)to the extent caused by the exercise by Buyer or its agents, contractors or consultants entry upon or actions around or upon the Subdivision including, without limitation, property damages or personal injury or death, which covenant will survive termination of this Contract, notwithstanding other provisions hereof; provided, however, that Buyer shall have no responsibility or liability for (a) any act or omission of Seller or its agents, contractors or consultants; (b) any adverse condition or defect on or affecting the Property not caused by Buyer or its employees, agents, consultants, or contractors but discovered during the Feasibility Study including, without limitation, the pre-existing presence or discovery of any matter (such as, but not limited to, any Hazardous Substance); (c) the results or findings of the Feasibility Study; (d) Buyer’s election to terminate this Contract as a result of the Feasibility Study; and/or (e) any lost profits, lost business opportunities or any other consequential, indirect, speculative or incidental damages.

Buyer shall pay promptly all costs of inspection and investigations and keep the Property free from any lien therefore. Buyer and its consultants and contractors shall undertake all investigations in a safe manner.

In the event the results of the Feasibility Study are, in Buyer’s sole and absolute discretion, unacceptable to Buyer for any reason or no reason at all and Buyer so notifies Seller of that fact in writing on or prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, then this Contract shall be terminated and the Earnest Money Deposit returned to Buyer, and neither party shall have any further rights, duties, obligations or liabilities, at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to this Contract except for those that specifically survive termination of this Contract pursuant to other sections hereof. If Buyer does not deliver written notice to Seller stating its approval of its review of the Property prior to expiration of the Inspection Period (“Approval Notice”), as determined in its sole and absolute discretion, this Contract will terminate in accordance with the prior sentence. If Buyer delivers the Approval Notice, then from and after the end of the Inspection Period, the Earnest Money Deposit shall be non-refundable except in the event of Seller’s default or as expressly provided for herein.

9.              Closings; Conveyance of Property. At the time of each closing hereunder (each, a “Closing”), Seller shall convey good and marketable fee simple title to the applicable Lots by Special Warranty Deed or, if Seller received title pursuant to a Warranty Deed, then by Warranty Deed (such deed, as applicable, hereinafter referred to as the “Deed”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Contract, if this Contract terminates after any Closing, then the rights and obligations of the parties that survive such Closing will also survive such termination. The conveyance of the Lots shall be free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, exceptions or qualifications whatsoever; save and except only for the following exceptions (hereinafter referred to as “Permitted Exceptions”), to wit:

(a)           Non-delinquent ad valorem real property taxes for the year of such Closing and subsequent years (which shall be subject to proration on the date of each Closing as provided herein).

(c)           Local zoning ordinances and regulations applicable to the Property.

(d)           All easements, restrictions, and encumbrances of record which are approved by Buyer in writing, or otherwise deemed acceptable to Buyer during the Inspection Period and title review process in the event Buyer fails to timely object to such matters.

(e)           Title Defects and other matters waived by Buyer in accordance with the express terms of this Contract.

The closing schedule is set forth on the attached Exhibit “B”, the terms of which are incorporated herein by reference (the “Lot Takedown Schedule”).

Lots which are closed ahead of schedule shall be credited toward the number of Lots required to be closed at the next applicable Closing. The Purchase Price of the accelerated Lots shall be the Purchase Price plus such Escalator as has accrued as of the actual date of the Closing for such Lots. Without Seller’s approval, Buyer may not commence construction of any improvements on a Lot until such Lot has been conveyed to Buyer.

At each Closing, Seller shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to Buyer for each Lot purchased the closing documents set forth in Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof.

The Escrow Agent shall serve as the closing agent. Each Closing shall take place at said closing agent’s office, or by courier to said closing agent’s office, if agreed by the parties.

All ad valorem real and personal property taxes shall be prorated as of the date of each Closing and shall be based upon the tax bill for the applicable year of proration with allowance for discount for November payment. All taxes and special assessments for the years prior to the year of each Closing shall be paid by Seller. If, however, the amount of such taxes for the year of a Closing cannot be ascertained, the rates, millage and assessed valuations for the previous year, with known changes, if any, shall be used as an estimate and tax prorations based on such estimate shall, at the request of either party, be readjusted between the parties within thirty (30) days after the actual tax bills for the year of Closing are received.

(a)            All representations and warranties of Seller made in this Contract shall be true and correct in all material respects and there shall have been no material breach or breaches of the same by Seller, nor shall there have occurred since the Effective Date any event which would render any of the representations and warranties untrue or incorrect in any material respect, which breach or event has not been cured.

(b)           Seller shall have complied with and/or performed all of the material obligations, covenants, and agreements required on the part of Seller to be complied with or performed pursuant to the terms of this Contract.

(c)            There is no litigation, arbitration, judgment or legal, administrative, or other proceeding or governmental investigation, formal or informal, including eminent domain, condemnation, assessment district or zoning change proceeding, pending or threatened against or relating to either the Property or Seller which would affects Buyer’s anticipated development of the Property or preclude Buyer’s purchase and Seller’s sale of the Property in the manner and for the purposes specified and contemplated in this Contract, 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 the Lots.

(d)            There shall have occurred no material adverse change in the physical or legal conditions of the Property from the conditions existing as of the Effective Date.

(e)            Seller has delivered to Buyer evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Title Company, that the person executing the Closing documents on behalf of Seller has full right, power and authority to do so, and that Seller is not a foreign person within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations issued thereunder or appropriate withholding at each Closing as required by law is made.

(f)            Seller has executed all documents requested by the Title Company in order to remove the mechanic’s liens, possession and unrecorded matters standard exceptions from the Title Policy and to insure the so called “gap”, and the Title Company is irrevocably and unconditionally prepared and committed to issue to Buyer (with an effective date on the applicable Closing date), a 2006 ALTA Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance with Florida modifications in favor of Buyer for the applicable Lots (i) showing fee title to such Lots vested in Buyer, (ii) with liability coverage in an amount equal to the Purchase Price (including any Escalation) for such Lots, (iii) with those endorsements reasonably requested by Buyer (provided that such endorsements are available in the State of Florida and are paid for by Buyer), and (iv) containing no exceptions other than the Permitted Exceptions.

(g)            The Title Defects, if any, shall have been cured by Seller, or waived, or deemed waived, by Buyer.

(h)            The Lots that are the subject of each Closing comply with the Development Specifications (as defined below), which Development Specifications shall be applicable and specific to the phase of the Subdivision in which the Lots are located.

(i)             There shall be no development preconditions to the issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy for the construction of single family residences on the Lots to be purchased other than construction of such residences in accordance with applicable building permits and codes.

(j)             There shall be no moratorium, injunction, restraining order, or similar restriction imposed by any governmental authority, quasi-governmental authority, utility provided or regulator, court, administrative body, or private entity that precludes or prevents the issuance of building permits or certificates of occupancy with respect to the Lots and/or the construction of residences or other improvements on the Lots.

(k)            Buyer shall have received approval by any applicable homeowner’s association applicable to the Subdivision of proposed plans for the houses Buyer intends to construct on the Lots, provided that such plans shall (i) have been submitted to the homeowner’s association for review within thirty (30) days following the Effective Date, (ii) substantially conform to the Subdivision Documents and (iii) shall have otherwise adhered to the procedures set forth in the Subdivision Documents.

If any judicial decree is entered, governmental order is issued or moratorium or similar order is imposed prior to any Closing that would impair or delay Buyer’s improvement or use of any of the applicable Lots for the construction and sale of a single family home thereon, then at Buyer’s option the Lot Takedown Schedule set forth in Section 9 shall be extended for period of up to six (6) months to allow for the moratorium to expire or be lifted, during which time the Escalator shall abate and not accrue. If the moratorium is still in effect upon the expiration of such six (6) month period, then at any time thereafter while the moratorium remains in effect either Seller or Buyer may terminate this Contract, whereupon Escrow Agent shall return the Earnest Money Deposit to Buyer and the parties shall be relieved of all further liability under this Contract with respect to all Lots not then owned by Buyer, provided that if Seller so elects to terminate, Buyer may negate such election by agreeing to proceed with the applicable Closing, in which case this Contract will remain in full force and effect. Seller represents that there is no such decree, order or moratorium pending or threatened as to the Property and that Seller has no knowledge that any such action is presently contemplated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the judicial decree, governmental order or moratorium affects less than all of the Lots to be closed, Buyer may select alternative Lots while keeping the affected Lots under this Contract for possible future acquisition, and close on the remaining Lots if and when required in accordance with the terms of this, Contract.

If one or more of the foregoing conditions precedent to Buyer’s obligation to close specific Lots pursuant to this Contract shall not have occurred or been satisfied (with respect to the Lots being purchased), or expressly waived in writing by Buyer on or before the applicable closing date for any Closing determined hereunder for any reason whatsoever, then Buyer shall provide written notification to Seller of such failure. Seller shall then have a period of thirty (30) days to cure such failure and satisfy the outstanding requirements during such curative period, during which time the Escalator shall abate and not accrue. In the event Seller shall fail to cure such failure within such thirty (30) day period (or any extended cure period), then Buyer may (i) waive the unfulfilled condition and close in accordance with this Contract, without adjustment or abatement of the Purchase Price (except for the adjustments, prorations and abatements set forth herein), (ii) delay such Closing for a reasonable period of time not to exceed thirty (30) days to allow Seller to cure such unfulfilled condition(s), during which time the Escalator shall abate and not accrue; (iii) defer the Closing as of the affected Lots only, and substituting such Lots with other Lots of a comparable nature (i.e. – Interior / Exterior / Water / Conservation), or (iv) in the event that suitable replacement Lots as contemplated by item (iii) above are not available, terminate this Contract in its entirety, whereupon the balance of the Earnest Money Deposit shall be promptly returned to the Buyer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the failure of any applicable Buyer’s closing condition is caused by a Seller default, Buyer shall also be entitled to pursue its rights and remedies pursuant to the terms of Section 22. The Lot Takedown Schedule shall be extended for any cure period described above and the next Closing shall occur on the later of (i) the scheduled closing date for such Closing or (ii) ten (10) days after the applicable condition is satisfied.

Actual possession of each Lot shall be delivered to Buyer at the conclusion of the applicable Closing with no other parties being in possession of the Property.

13.           Subdivision Plans. Seller represents and warrants that:

(a)            Seller has submitted to the Governing Jurisdiction a complete set of construction plans for the Subdivision, including but not limited to the site plan, traffic plan, water and sewer plan, grading plan and drainage plan (collectively, the “Construction Plans”). The Construction Plans have been finally approved by the Governing Jurisdiction, and Seller shall not modify the Construction Plans without Buyer’s prior consent.

(b)            Seller shall not modify the Plats without Buyer’s prior consent. The Plats and the Construction Plans are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Subdivision Plans.”]

14.            Development Specifications. Seller covenants that it shall develop the Subdivision and the Property so that each meets all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, restrictions, orders and zoning conditions, and the development specifications set forth on the attached Exhibit “E” (the “Development Specifications”).

15.            Pre-Closing Lot Inspection. Prior to each scheduled Closing hereunder, Buyer may perform re-inspections of the Lot(s) to be purchased and prepare a list of all items not in compliance with the Development Specifications. Seller shall correct all items as described on the list within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of non-compliance matters and prior to each Closing. In the event that Seller shall fail to timely cure such items, Buyer may, at its option: (a) correct the items and receive a credit against the Purchase Price for Buyer’s expenses plus ten percent (10%); (b) complete such Closing and allow Seller to complete the items after such Closing; (c) defer the purchase of the defective Lot(s) and proceed to close on alternative Lots that meet all of the Development Specifications; or (d) refuse to close until all of the Lots designated for takedown comply with the Development Specifications, in which event the Lot Takedown Schedule set forth on Exhibit “B” shall be suspended and adjusted accordingly, and the Escalator to the Purchase Price shall be abated and not accrue. Except in the event of an election under (a) and (b) above, the consummation of a Closing on any Lot or Lots shall be deemed conclusive evidence that the Lots comply with the Development Specifications to Buyer’s satisfaction, and Buyer shall be deemed to have waived the right to assert that the Lot or Lots fail to comply with the Development Specifications; provided, however, in no event shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver by Buyer of any rights or remedies that Buyer may have pursuant to this Contract, or as a result of any latent or construction defect regarding the Lots or the construction activities performed by Seller thereon.

The lot to be used for the construction trailer shall be subject to Seller’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned, withheld or delayed. Buyer shall procure insurance deemed reasonably acceptable to Seller with respect to the activities contemplated by this Section 17. The provisions of this Section shall expire upon the closing of the sale of the last home on a Lot acquired by Buyer, whereupon Buyer shall, promptly upon thirty (30) days written notice from Seller, cease all activities permitted pursuant to this Section 17.

Buyer shall procure insurance deemed reasonably acceptable to Seller with respect to the activities contemplated by this Section 18. The provisions of this Section 18 shall expire upon the closing of the sale of the last home on a Lot acquired by Buyer, whereupon Buyer shall, promptly upon thirty (30) days written notice from Seller, cease all activities permitted pursuant to this Section 18. In such case, Buyer shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, promptly remove its property from and restore any such Lot to substantially the same condition as existed prior to Buyer’s use of the same pursuant to this Section to the extent changed or damaged by Buyer.

19.            Marketing/Signage. Subject to applicable governmental regulations, and the Subdivision Documents, Buyer shall have the right to, and Seller shall reasonably cooperate with Buyer’s efforts to, locate marketing and directional signage at the Subdivision entrance and other such locations throughout the Subdivision.

Seller agrees that any Subdivision Documents or amendments thereto recorded after the Effective Date shall not conflict with the agreements set forth in this paragraph. The provisions of this Section 19 shall expire upon the closing of the sale of the last home on a Lot acquired by Buyer, whereupon Buyer shall promptly cease all activities permitted pursuant to this Section 19, and shall, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, promptly remove all of its Marketing Materials from the Lots or Subdivision, failing which Seller may remove such materials on Buyer’s behalf.

Prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period, Buyer shall have fully apprised itself of the terms and conditions of the Subdivision Documents, and its election not to terminate this Contract prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period shall be deemed notice of Buyer’s acceptance of the Subdivision Documents in all respects. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall cooperate with Buyer to facilitate the approval of Buyer’s intended product by the applicable Architectural Review Board formed pursuant to the Subdivision Documents, if applicable, and shall request from the homeowners’ association, on Buyer’s behalf, the delivery of a standard form of estoppel certificate deemed acceptable to the Title Company, or such other form as Buyer may reasonably request, to and in favor of Buyer prior to each Closing hereunder.

IF NOT YET DRAFTED/RECORDED: The parties shall use a mutually agreeable form documents governing the Subdivision, including, without limitation, covenants, conditions and restrictions and articles of incorporation and bylaws (the “Subdivision Documents”) for the [Subdivision or Property], and governance of the homeowners’ association (“Association”) which are subject to Buyer’s approval, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Buyer and Seller covenant to agree to the form of the Subdivision Documents prior to the expiration of the Inspection Period. At or prior to the Initial Closing, the Association shall be incorporated by Seller. The Subdivision Documents shall be executed and recorded by Seller, at Seller’s expense, upon the recording of the plat thereof, and shall thereafter be extended to encumber each subsequent phase upon recordation of the plat thereof, as applicable. As a condition to Buyer’s obligations hereunder, all of the common areas within the recorded plat for the phase of development, as applicable, shall have been properly conveyed to the Association, which conveyance may be effectuated via a dedication on the plat if permitted by the governing jurisdiction. Seller agrees to hire a professional management company to manage the Association and maintain all common areas. Buyer will be designated as an approved builder and will have the rights to sell, market, build, and construct homes in the Subdivision in accordance with industry practices.

41.            Condemnation and Casualty. If after the Effective Date and prior to any Closing, all or any portion of the Property or any Lot to be purchased by Buyer is taken or threatened to be taken by eminent domain or condemnation, or suffers a casualty loss, Seller shall give Buyer immediate notice thereof with a complete description of all relevant information and complete copies of all relevant documentation. Within thirty (30) days of such notice, Buyer may elect either (a) to terminate this Contract, as to the affected Lots or, if more than twenty percent (20%) of the Lots are affected, all of the Lots, in which event the Earnest Money Deposit shall be returned or reduced pro rata based on the number of Lots deleted from the Contract, and the Contract as to any Lots deleted, shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, or (b) to consummate Closings as herein provided, in which event Seller shall pay or assign all condemnation awards or payments or insurance proceeds in respect of the Lots purchased to Buyer at the Closings. The Lot Closing Schedule shall be extended as necessary to accommodate such thirty (30) day period and the Escalation shall abate and not accrue during such extension. If this Contract is terminated in full pursuant to this section, the Earnest Money Deposit will be returned to Buyer, and neither Party shall have any further rights, duties, obligations or liabilities, at law or in equity, arising out of or relating to this Contract except for those that specifically survive termination of this Contract pursuant to other sections hereof.
