ARTICLE II
PURCHASE PRICE AND TERMS OF PAYMENT
Section 2.01. Purchase Price. The purchase price (the "Purchase Price") to be paid
by Buyer to Seller hereunder for each Phase shall be as follows:
(A) The Purchase Price for Phase 1, as defined in Section 9.01, shall be equal
to the total number of Homesites, as defined in Section 5.01, as shown on the Site Plan, as
defined in Section 5.02, multiplied by THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS
($34,000.00); and
(B) The Purchase Price for Phase 2, as defined in Section 9.01, shall be equal
to the total number of Homesites as shown on the Site Plan multiplied by THIRTY-SIX
THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($36,000.00);
Section 2.02. Terms of Payment. The Purchase Price shall be payable by Buyer in
the following manner:
(A) Buyer shall deposit the sum of ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($100,000.00) (the "Initial Deposit') with Lennar Title, LLC (the "Escrow
Agent"), within eight (8) business days after the Effective Date. Within eight (8) business days
after Buyer's issuance of the Notice to Proceed, as defined in Section 4.03, Buyer shall deposit
with Escrow Agent an additional sum of SEVEN HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND AND
NO/100 DOLLARS ($750,000.00) (the "Additional Deposit"). The Initial Deposit and the
Additional Deposit are referred to herein, collectively, as the "Deposit". The Deposit shall be
remitted to Escrow Agent by wire transfer of immediately available federal funds or by Letter of
Credit, as defined in Section 2.03. If in cash, the Deposit shall be held by Escrow Agent in an
interest -bearing money-market account without penalty for early withdrawal, provided, that
Buyer completes and executes an Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 in connection with
delivering the Deposit. Escrow Agent shall hold the Deposit pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, subject only to mutually agreed upon written modifications executed by the parties.
All interest earned on the Deposit shall in all instances be paid to Buyer, except if Buyer defaults
in its obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 14.01, in which event all interest earned on the
Deposit shall be paid to Seller. If the Deposit is paid in cash, then a portion of the Deposit in the
amount of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($300,000.00) shall be
applied to the Purchase Price for Phase 1 at the Initial Closing and the remainder of the Deposit
shall be applied to the Purchase Price for Phase 2 at the Final Closing, as defined in Section 9.01.
(B) At each Closing, Buyer shall pay the Purchase Price due at such Closing to
Seller, subject to the terms, conditions, prorations and adjustments stated in this Agreement, by
PSA (Lennar —The Preserve at Forest Creek)v4 2
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6613318B-EDE5-46AC-B7C2-5AOOC929307A
wire transfer of immediately available federal funds made available to Escrow Agent at or prior
to such Closing.
Section 2.03. Letter of Credit. Buyer shall have the option to deliver to Escrow
Agent, in place of a cash payment for any part of the Deposit, an irrevocable, unconditional
standby letter of credit (the "Letter of Credit"), issued by Fidelity Guaranty and Acceptance
Corp. (an "Acceptable Issuer"), in substantially the form attached hereto and made a part hereof
as Exhibit `B". All amounts payable pursuant to the Letter of Credit shall be payable to Escrow
Agent to be held in escrow for disbursement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. At the
Initial Closing, the face value of the Letter of Credit shall be reduced by an amount equal to the
amount that would have been credited against the Purchase Price at such Closing pursuant to
Section 2.02(A) if the Deposit had been paid in cash. Not later than twenty (20) days prior to the
expiration of the Letter of Credit, if this Agreement has not been terminated, Buyer shall furnish
to Escrow Agent a replacement Letter of Credit in the same form and amount, whereupon the
replaced original Letter of Credit and any subsequent original amendments shall be promptly
returned to Buyer by Escrow Agent, along with a cancellation letter on the letterhead of Escrow
Agent directed to the Acceptable Issuer, referencing the letter of credit number and requesting
cancellation (collectively, the "Cancellation Documents"). All of the Cancellation Documents
will be sent by courier or overnight mail via a nationally recognized carrier with the tracking
number provided to Buyer. If Escrow Agent does not timely receive such replacement Letter of
Credit from Buyer, Escrow Agent shall draw upon the Letter of Credit, whereupon the funds so
received by Escrow Agent, together with all interest earned thereon, shall constitute the Deposit
for all purposes under this Agreement and shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If Buyer defaults under this Agreement and Seller
delivers to Escrow Agent a sworn affidavit from an authorized officer of Seller attesting to
Seller's allegation of such default, or if Escrow Agent notifies the parties of its intent to
interplead the Deposit into the registry of the court as provided in this Agreement, then Escrow
Agent shall immediately present the Letter of Credit to the issuer for payment so as to convert
the Letter of Credit to cash, whereupon the funds so received by Escrow Agent shall constitute
the Deposit for all purposes under this Agreement and shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the Final Closing, Escrow Agent shall
promptly deliver the Cancellation Documents to Buyer. References to the Deposit shall include
the Letter of Credit and/or the Cancellation Documents, as applicable.
Section 2.04. Independent Consideration. As independent consideration for
Seller's execution and entry into this Agreement, if this Agreement is terminated for any reason,
then Buyer shall pay to Seller an amount equal to Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) within thirty
(30) days following written demand.
ARTICLE III

the "Master Commitment").

DocuSign Envelope ID: 6613318B-EDE5-46AC-B7C2-5AOOC929307A

survey that are not acceptable to Buyer in Buyer's sole and absolute discretion, then Buyer shall
notify Seller of any and all objections to the same (collectively, the "Title Defects") in writing

vesting deed and, upon Buyer's request, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a non -warranty deed for
such Phase with the legal description drawn from the Survey.

and other materials as the other party hereto or Escrow Agent or other closing agent may
reasonably request in order to effectuate such Closing and the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
All of the documents executed by Seller which are to be delivered to Buyer at each
Closing will be duly authorized and legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller, which, at the
time of the Closing, will be sufficient to convey title (if they purport to do so), and do not, and at
the time of the Closing will not, violate any provisions of any agreement to which Seller is a
party or to which it is subject. The parties shall cooperate, including without limitation,

ARTICLE XI
ESCROW
If there is any dispute as to whether Escrow Agent is obligated to deliver the Deposit, any
monies, any Letter of Credit, and/or any documents which it holds, or as to whom the same are
to be delivered, Escrow Agent will not be obligated to make any delivery, but in such event, may
hold the same until Escrow Agent receives an authorization, in writing, signed by Seller and
Buyer directing the disposition of the same, and, if either party would be entitled to the Deposit,
monies, or documents held by Escrow Agent, the parties shall promptly execute a joint written
authorization upon the request of the other party hereto. In the absence of such joint
authorization, Escrow Agent may hold the Deposit, monies, or documents in its possession until
the final determination of the rights of the parties in an appropriate proceeding. If such written
authorization is not given or proceedings for such determination are not begun and diligently
continued, Escrow Agent may, but is not required to, bring an appropriate action or proceeding
for leave to deposit said funds or documents in court, pending such determination.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to either Section 4.03 or
Section 15.14 hereof, Escrow Agent shall return the Deposit to Buyer without the need for joint
written instructions. Escrow Agent shall not be responsible for any acts or omissions of Escrow
Agent, unless the same are a result of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.
Otherwise, provided Escrow Agent acts in accordance with this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall
have no liability following the delivery of any funds or documents which Escrow Agent holds
pursuant to this Agreement. If Escrow Agent elects to bring an appropriate action or proceeding
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then Escrow Agent shall be entitled to recover
all of its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs incurred in connection with the action from the
party not entitled to receive the Deposit, monies, or documents as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction. The parties will hold Escrow Agent harmless from and indemnify it
against any costs or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs, resulting from any
action brought against Escrow Agent, unless due to Escrow Agent's willful misconduct, gross
negligence, or fraud.

CONDEMNATION AND MORATORIUM
Section 13.01. Condemnation. If, prior to either Closing, all or any portion of the
Property is taken by eminent domain or is the subject of a pending taking which has not been
consummated (collectively, a "Taking"), Seller shall so notify Buyer in writing no later than five
(5) days after receipt of Seller's notice of a Taking, and Buyer shall have the option to either
(a) terminate this Agreement or (b) proceed with such Closing in accordance herewith. Buyer
shall notify Seller of its election within fifteen (15) days after receipt of Seller's issuance of
notification of the Taking to Buyer. In the event Buyer fails to deliver such election within the
foregoing timeframe, then Buyer shall be deemed to have elected to terminate this Agreement
under option (a) above. Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, to contest and negotiate
the amount of money offered for a Taking, as well as any of the terms related thereto. If this
Agreement is terminated as aforesaid, the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and
neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those matters that
expressly survive termination of this Agreement. If Buyer has not elected to terminate this
Agreement as aforesaid, Seller shall assign to Buyer at the applicable Closing all sums that are to
be awarded for the Taking, and shall pay to Buyer any sums received by Seller prior to such
Closing for the Taking. Buyer shall thereafter be entitled to receive and keep any awards for the
Taking by eminent domain. The applicable Closing Date shall be extended for a period of time
equal to the amount of time afforded to Buyer to provide Seller with notice of its election under
this Section.
Section 13.02. Moratoria. If, at the time of either Closing, there is a moratorium, or
threat thereof, regarding any aspect of the Intended Development, Buyer shall have the right to
extend the Closing for a period not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days, at which time if a
moratorium, or threat thereof, still exists, Buyer shall have the option to either (a) terminate this
Agreement, whereupon the Deposit shall be promptly returned to Buyer and neither party shall
have any further rights or obligations hereunder, except for those matters that expressly survive
termination of this Agreement or (b) waive such condition and proceed with the applicable
Closing in accordance herewith. If Buyer chooses to proceed with such Closing, the Closing
shall occur within ten (10) days of Seller's receipt of Buyer's notice waiving such condition.
ARTICLE XIV
DEFAULTS
Section 14.01. Buyer's Default. In the event of any default by Buyer (a `Buyer's
Default'), including, but not limited to, the failure of Buyer to close this transaction, the parties
acknowledge it would be impossible to ascertain the amount of damages suffered by Seller, and,
therefore, the parties agree that in such event, the Deposit shall be paid to and accepted by Seller
PSA (Lennar —The Preserve at Forest Creek)v4 20
DocuSign Envelope ID: 6613318B-EDE5-46AC-B7C2-5AOOC929307A
as full and liquidated damages and as Seller's sole and exclusive remedy and each of the parties
shall thereafter be released of any further liability or responsibility hereunder, except for the

Section 14.02. Seller's Default. In the event of any default by Seller (a "Seller's
Default"), Buyer shall be entitled to either (a) terminate this Agreement, receive a prompt refund
of the Deposit and be reimbursed by Seller for the actual out-of-pocket costs and expenses
incurred by Buyer in connection with this Agreement, including, but not limited to, costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the Inspections and the Approvals not to exceed Five
Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) or (b) seek specific performance of this
Agreement. However, nothing in this Section 14.02 shall limit Buyer's remedies at law or in
equity after each Closing as to all representations, warranties, indemnities, and other obligations
of Seller contained in this Agreement that by the terms of this Agreement survive each Closing
or any earlier termination of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, in the event that specific performance is not available as a remedy, then Buyer may
exercise all remedies available at law or in equity.
Section 14.03. Notice and Cure Period. Buyer shall take no action with respect to a
Seller's Default, and Seller shall take no action with respect to a Buyer's Default, until the non -
defaulting party has given written notice to the defaulting party and the defaulting party has
failed to cure the default within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice (the "Cure Period"). If
the expiration of the Investigation Period or either Closing Date shall occur during any Cure
Period, the Investigation Period or the Closing Date, as applicable, shall automatically extend to
the third (3rd) business day after such Cure Period.

Section 15.11. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any particular

be construed in all respects as if such invalid or unenforceable provision was omitted.
Section 15.12. Time Periods.
(A) Time shall be of the essence with respect to this Agreement. The
calculation of the number of days that has passed during any time period prescribed in the

any time period provided for herein which shall end on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday in
the State of North Carolina, shall extend to the next full business day. The term "business day"

other party's counsel. Signatures in a PDF file shall have the same legal effect as original

Section 15.14. Buyer's Corporate Policies. Notwithstanding any provision contained
in this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer's obligations under this Agreement are contingent upon
Buyer providing to Seller written approval of the Corporate Investment Committee of Lennar
Corporation ("Corporate Approval") prior to the expiration of the Investigation Period. If
Buyer fails to deliver to Seller written notice of Corporate Approval prior to the expiration of the
Investigation Period, this Agreement shall be null and void and the Deposit shall be promptly
returned to Buyer, and neither Seller nor Buyer shall have any further rights or obligations under
the Agreement, except for those matters that expressly survive termination of this Agreement.
No waiver of such condition shall be implied, but shall be expressed, if at all, only by delivery of
written notice from the Investment Committee of Lennar Corporation specifically waiving such
condition. Further, Seller hereby acknowledges and confirms that Seller has been apprised of the
corporate policy of Buyer to the effect that all contracts and contract amendments entered into by
Buyer regarding the purchase or development of land must be executed by both (i) either the

who in this instance is Mark Henninger, and Buyer shall not be bound under this Agreement
unless it has been so executed; provided, however, that for purposes of this Agreement, Seller
shall be entitled to rely conclusively upon Buyer's delivery of written notice of Corporate
Approval as evidence that Corporate Approval has been obtained by Buyer.
