Conditions. Section 6(a)(i) of
the Contract is hereby amended to read as follows: As of the date
of the First Closing, Seller is under contract to sell at least an
aggregate total of 200 residential lots within the Development to
Purchaser and other homebuilders, and as of the date of the First

or (b) Purchaser and one other homebuilder simultaneously close
their initial purchases of lots under their purchase and sale

Deficits. Section 16(c) of the
PSA is hereby revised to add the following subsection (v)
thereto:
3
(v) For the avoidance of doubt, and
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section
16: So long as representatives of Seller or its affiliates
hold the majority of the director positions on the board of
directors of any special improvement district or metropolitan
district (including any community authority board) to which the
Property is subject other than Rangeview Metropolitan District
(collectively, the “Metro
Districts”), and Purchaser is the holder of record
title to any of the Lots, but in no event longer than 4 years after
the date of the Substantial Completion of the first phase of Lots
referenced in section 5(c)(ii), above: (1) Seller shall be
obligated to fund all deficits of the Metro Districts; (2) Seller
shall promptly upon receipt of any invoice from Purchaser for an
amount paid by Purchaser for that portion of the mill levy that is
assessed by the District for debt service, as reflected in the
service plan, that exceeds fifty (50) ▇▇▇▇▇ (the
“Mill
Levy Cap”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Mill
Levy Cap may be increased or decreased as to all taxable property
in the District to reflect any legislation implementing changes in
the ratio of actual valuation to assessed valuation for residential
real property, pursuant to Article X, Section 3(1)(b) of the
Colorado Constitution, so that, to the extent possible, the actual
tax revenues generated by the District imposed mill levy, as
adjusted, are neither diminished nor enhanced as a result of such
changes (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Adjustment”). For purposes of the foregoing, a change
in the ratio of actual valuation shall be deemed to be a change in
the method of calculating assessed valuation; (3) after the
Effective Date, Seller shall not cause, agree to or acquiesce to
any change, modification, alteration, termination or extension to
any of the documents which govern the Metro Districts, if the same
would have a material impact on Purchaser or its Lots without the
prior written consent of Purchaser, which will not be unreasonably
withheld; and (4) if at any time Purchaser is required to pay any
amounts to the Metro Districts other
than the mill levies as set forth above and the system development
fees addressed in Section 16 of the Contract and except for
assessments and/or charges for covenant control and common area and
amenity maintenance, repair and operations, then Seller shall pay such amounts on
behalf of Purchaser or reimburse Purchaser within thirty (30) days
of demand for such amounts if
then paid by Purchaser. This provision shall survive the Closing
and be enforceable by Purchaser by all legal and equitable means,
including without limitation specific
performance.
10. Districts.
a. Section
9(d) of the Contract is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following: “(d) The inclusion of the Property into
the Sky Ranch Metropolitan District No. 1 (the
“District”).”
b. The
following provisions of the Contract are hereby deleted in their
entirety: Section 10(b)(v) and Section 12(a). Section 10(b)(i) is
hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: The ability of
applicable utility companies to provide utility services to the
Property, including the quality, sizing and cost of such services
provided that the development work for the Property is completed in
accordance with this Contract.
11. Marketing
Sales Activities. From and
after the First Closing, Purchaser may construct and maintain upon
portions of the Development owned by Purchaser such facilities,
activities, and things as, in Purchaser’s reasonable opinion,
may be required, convenient, or incidental to the construction or
sale of Lots and single family
homes located thereon. Such permitted facilities, activities, and
things shall include, without limitation, business offices, signs,
flags (whether hung from flag poles or attached to a structure),
model Lots, model homes,
parking lots, sales
offices, sales trailers,
construction offices, construction trailers, holding or sponsoring special events, and exterior
lighting features or displays, subject to compliance with all laws

the right to place signage on those portions of the Development
owned by Seller that have been identified by Seller as appropriate
locations for such signage, and subject to reasonable rules and
regulations established by Seller for the homebuilders within the
Development. If, following the Effective Date of this Amendment,
the Seller establishes a signage program for the Development, the
Parties will meet and agree in good faith upon the terms of such
program, and the Parties will enter into an amendment to the
Contract to reflect the terms of such program. This provision shall
survive closing.
4
12. Designation
of Builder. Section 8(d)(ii)(7)
of the Contract is hereby revised to reflect that notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Contract, at each
Closing, Seller shall deliver a signed “Designation of
