TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC

Dover, DE 19901

Phone: (737) 275-4622

https://www.tirios.ai/

 

Tirios Propco Series LLC is a Delaware series limited liability company (which we refer to as “we,” “us,” “our” or “Company”) that has been formed to facilitate investment in individual real estate properties that will be owned by individual series of the Company (each a “Series” and collectively, the “Series”). Each individual Series will, directly or through a wholly-owned subsidiary, hold a specific asset (each an “Underlying Asset”) into which investors can invest via purchase of membership interests for that Series (each a “Series Interest” and collectively, “Series Interests”).

 

We are offering Series Interests of each of the Series of the Company with a status of “Open” in the “Series Offering Table” beginning on page 1 of this Offering Circular.

 

Series Interests will be sold for $100.00 each and the minimum investment for any investor is $100.00. For more information on the securities offered hereby, please see “Securities Being Offered” on page 28.

 

There are significant transfer restrictions on the shares hereby offered. See “Description of Securities.” Series may, at the election of the Company, be taxed either as partnerships or as REITs. The tax status of each Series will be listed in the Series Offering Table on Page 1. Note that 274 Gabbro, 283 Gabbro, and 313 Mica will be taxed as partnerships. For those Series to be taxed as REITs, the Company has a significant interest in preserving the REIT status of such Series. In order to ensure compliance with REIT requirements, the Company requires that no single stockholder holds more than 9.8% of the stock outstanding of a Series to be taxed as a REIT. Transfer of Series Interests is also subject to approval by the Company. Should any attempt to transfer Series Interests violate this condition, the Company will not recognize such attempted transfer and the transfer will be void.

    

This offering is being made pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A following the Form 1-A Offering Circular disclosure format. There is no market for our Series Interests and none is likely to develop in the future – investors should expect to hold their Series Interests indefinitely.  Each offering will commence within thirty (30) calendar days after the first qualification date of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part and, unless earlier terminated by the Manager in its sole discretion, each Series will be offered until no later than the first anniversary of such qualification date.

 

Generally, no sale may be made to you in this offering if the aggregate purchase price you pay is more than 10% of the greater of your annual income or your net worth. Different rules apply to accredited investors and non-natural persons. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to www.investor.gov.

(1)

The Company has engaged Dalmore Group, LLC, member FINRA/SIPC (“Dalmore” or “Broker”), to perform administrative and compliance related functions in connection with this offering, but not for underwriting or placement agent services. This fee table includes the 1% commission payable to Dalmore  but it does not include the one-time expense allowance of $5,000, or consulting fees of $20,000 payable to Dalmore. Dalmore will not receive any fee on funds raised from the sale of any Series Interests to our Manager or its affiliates. Dalmore’s role and compensation are described in greater detail under “Plan of Distribution.”

 

(2)

We will incur offering expenses in addition to fees payable to Dalmore. In general, these costs include legal, accounting, underwriting, filing and compliance costs, as applicable, related to the offering. These costs have not been included in the above table and will be paid by our Manager, Tirios Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Manager”) without reimbursement.

 

(3)

This offering is being made on a best-efforts basis. There is no minimum offering amount and no provision to escrow or return investor funds if any minimum number of Series Interests are not sold. All investor funds will be immediately available for use upon acceptance. The amount disclosed in the table is the Maximum Offering Amount for the Series Interests, however, the actual proceeds raised in this Offering may be lower, in which case the proceeds available for repayment of advance to our Manager would be lower.

  

This offering is highly speculative and these securities involve a high degree of risk and should be considered only by persons who can afford the loss of their entire investment. See “Risk Factors” on page 4 for a description of some of the risks that should be considered before investing in our Series Interests.

  

THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION DOES NOT PASS UPON THE MERITS OF OR GIVE ITS APPROVAL TO ANY SECURITIES OFFERED OR THE TERMS OF THE OFFERING, NOR DOES IT PASS UPON THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF ANY OFFERING CIRCULAR OR OTHER SOLICITATION MATERIALS. THESE SECURITIES ARE OFFERED PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION WITH THE COMMISSION; HOWEVER, THE COMMISSION HAS NOT MADE AN INDEPENDENT DETERMINATION THAT THE SECURITIES OFFERED ARE EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.

SUMMARY

 

This summary highlights information contained elsewhere and does not contain all of the information that you should consider in making your investment decision. Unless the context otherwise requires or indicates, references in this Offering Circular to “us,” “we,” “our” or the “Company” refer to Tirios Propco Series LLC is a Delaware series limited liability company, our Series and our respective wholly owned subsidiaries.  As used in this offering Statement (“Offering Statement”) of which this Offering Circular (“Offering Circular”) is a part, an affiliate of, or person affiliated with, a specified person is a person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, the person specified. To understand this offering fully, you should carefully read the entire Offering Circular, including the section entitled “Risk Factors,” before making a decision to invest in our securities.

 

The Company

 

Tirios Propco Series LLC was formed as a Delaware series limited liability to serve as an investment vehicle through which the general public can invest in fractional interests of income-producing single-family homes. Investment opportunities will be hosted on the Tirios.ai investment platform (the “Platform”), which is owned and operated by our Manager, Tirios Corporation, a Delaware corporation. An investment in a Series of the Company entitles the investor to its share of the potential benefits normally associated with direct ownership of real estate without the burdens of the due diligence, significant capital outlay, management, and oversight generally associated with ownership of such assets.

Table of Contents

 

Specifically, we will acquire single-family homes, lease them long-term, divide them into multiple interests using blockchain technology, and offer them as investments through the Platform. As a result, investors can build their real estate portfolio by investing across multiple assets and neighborhoods. We do all the work for sourcing, analyzing, underwriting, acquiring, and managing assets. We analyze every investment across several characteristics to make an investment decision, including evaluating the asset's condition, expected financial returns, market opportunity, and demographic factors. We will foreign file to do business in each jurisdiction where our properties are located.

  

Investors in our offerings can invest in real estate without needing a large lump sum, applying for a mortgage, or taking on maintenance responsibilities as a landlord.

 

The Company and each Series will be managed by Tirios Corporation, our Manager, which will also serve as the initial Member of the Company and each Series. Our Manager intends to acquire anywhere from 1%-20% of the Series Interests of each Series, but may acquire more or less Series Interests as determined in its sole discretion. Our Manager is headquartered in Texas and will be foreign filing to conduct business in Texas in order to manage our initial properties directly.

  

We intend that each Series will be taxed either as a partnership or a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), as determined in our Manager’s sole discretion. The taxation election of each Series will be listed in the Series Offering Table.

Reporting

 

We are not subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) because we are not registering our securities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Rather, we will be subject to the more limited reporting requirements under Tier 2 of Regulation A, including the obligation to electronically file:

 

 

·

annual reports (including disclosure relating to our business operations for the preceding three fiscal years, or, if in existence for less than three years, since inception, related party transactions, beneficial ownership of the issuer’s securities, executive officers and directors and certain executive compensation information, management’s discussion and analysis (“MD&A”) of the issuer’s liquidity, capital resources, and results of operations, and two years of audited financial statements);

 

·

semiannual reports (including disclosure primarily relating to the issuer’s interim financial statements and MD&A); and

 

·

current reports for certain material events.

 

At any time after completing reporting for the fiscal year in which our offering statement was qualified, if the securities of each class to which this offering statement relates are held of record by fewer than 300 persons and offers or sales are not ongoing, we may immediately suspend our ongoing reporting obligations under Regulation A.

  

The properties acquired by the Series are newly constructed residential properties that have not been previously occupied or leased and have not previously been revenue producing. Therefore, they were not operated as a business and without leasing history. As a result, there are no financial statements applicable to the property for which financial statements may be required in the Offering Circular prior to the date of acquisition of the properties by the Series.

 

For future reporting periods, we intend to have each series that has commenced operations audited on an annual basis and to present these series audited financial statements separately and on a consolidated basis with the financial statements of the Company. The audit opinion to be provided along with the audited financial statements will cover each of the audited series as well as the Company audited as a whole.

 

If and when we become subject to the ongoing reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), we intend to qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), which will entitle us to take advantage of certain reduced reporting requirements and relieve us certain other significant requirements that are otherwise generally applicable to public companies.

Series LLC Structure

 

The Company was formed in Delaware on April 13, 2023, as a series limited liability company. The Company intends to establish separate Series for each asset to be acquired by the Company. It is not anticipated that any Series will acquire any material assets other than the Underlying Asset for which the applicable Series was created. Ownership of a Series Interest in a Series is for that Series only and does not represent ownership in the Company or any other Series or the Underlying Asset itself.

 

Once our Manager identifies an Underlying Asset and agrees to a price with the seller, it will enter into a purchase agreement for the property. Generally, our Manager expects to assign the contract to the relevant Series for the direct purchase of the asset by the Series; however, there may be circumstances or timing considerations that result in the Company or Manager acquiring an asset directly from the third-party seller for further sale to the Series once sufficient funding has been obtained.  

 

In cases where the Series purchases the Underlying Asset directly from a third-party seller, it will use the proceeds from the offering for that Series to purchase the Underlying Assets and may finance a portion of the purchase price with third party financing. If the Series does not obtain sufficient funds prior to closing, the Company or Manager may provide a loan to the Series to finance all or part of the purchase price of the Underlying Asset. Such loan would be repaid without interest, as determined by our Manager, by the applicable Series with the proceeds of its offering, with any remaining proceeds being used in accordance with the “Use of Proceeds” below detailed for that Series.

 

If the Company or Manager purchases an Underlying Asset directly, then, after the relevant Series has obtained sufficient financing, that Series would purchase the asset for an amount equal to the original purchase price (including closing costs) plus holding costs, improvement costs and other expenses actually incurred by the Company or Manager prior to the sale to the Series.

 

All costs relating to an offering for a Series, except for the 1% commission payable to our Broker, will be paid by our Manager.  All costs of acquiring and improving the Underlying Asset for the Series, all Manager fees relating to the Series and/or Underlying Asset of the Series, and Operating Expenses of the Series shall be allocated to and paid by the Series. “Operating Expenses” include, but are not limited to,  

 

 

fees, costs and expenses incurred in connection with the management of the Underlying Assets and preparing any reports and accounts of the Series, including, but not limited to, audits of the Series’ annual financial statements, tax filings and the circulation of reports to investors;

 

insurance premiums or expenses;

 

withholding or transfer taxes imposed on the Company or the Series or any of the Members;

 

governmental fees imposed on the capital of the Company or the Series;

 

legal fees and costs (including settlement costs) arising in connection with any litigation or regulatory investigation instituted against the Company, the Series or Manager in connection with the affairs of the Company or the Series, or relating to legal advice directly relating to the Company’s or the Series’ legal affairs;

 

fees, costs and expenses of a third-party registrar and transfer agent appointed by the manager in connection with a series;

 

indemnification payments;

 

costs, fees, or payments related to interest or financing expenses for the Series;

 

potential HOA or association fees related to the Underlying Assets;

 

costs of any third parties engaged by our Manager in connection with the operations of the Company or the Series; and

 

any similar expenses that may be determined to be operating expenses, as determined by our Manager in its reasonable discretion.

 

 

 

 

 

If any fees, costs and expenses of the Company are not attributable to a specific Series, they will be borne proportionately across all of the Series (which may include future Series to be issued). Examples of situations where a cost would not be attributed to a specific Series but rather allocated among the Series include annual EDGAR filer fees, annual audit fee for the Company, legal fees relating to annual reporting, and rent and utilities if the Series share the same office space. Our Manager will allocate fees, costs and expenses acting reasonably and in accordance with its allocation policy. See “Business Description – Allocations of Expenses.”

Distributions

 

We intend to distribute 100% of Free Cash Flows (defined in “Securities Being Offered,” but generally income, less all expenses paid, fees paid to management, indebtedness, and reserves as determined by our Manager) of each Series to the Members1 of such Series, pro rata, which may include distributions to our Manager or its affiliates to the extent they hold Series Interests in the Series. Subject to the applicable provisions of the Delaware Act and except as otherwise provided herein, our Manager will pay distributions to the Members associated with such Series, subject to the availability of Free Cash Flows, at such times as our Manager shall reasonably determine. For distributions resulting from operations of an Underlying Asset, our Manager will attempt to make quarterly distributions. For distributions resulting from the sale or refinance of an Underlying Asset, our Manager will declare the distribution as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant amounts have been received by the Series.

 

For each Series that has elected to be taxed as a REIT, we will be required to distribute 90% of the Series’ “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to deduction for dividends paid and our net capital gains); plus 90% of the Series’ net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property (as described below); minus the sum of specified items of non-cash income that exceeds a percentage of the Series income.

 

Compensation Paid to our Manager and its Affiliates

 

Acquisition Fee: Upon the closing of the acquisition of any Series Asset, our Manager shall receive an Acquisition fee between 2% to 8% of the gross purchase price for such Series Asset, as determined by our Manager. The exact percentage to be charged will depend on a range of factors, including the acquisition price, location, due diligence requirements and amount of rehabilitation work required.

 

Asset Management Fees: On a quarterly basis beginning on the first quarter end date following the initial closing date of the issuance of Series Interests, the Series will pay our Manager a management fee, payable quarterly in arrears, equal to 0.25% (1% annualized) of Net Asset Value as of the last day of the immediately preceding quarter. “Net Asset Value” at any date means the current market value of a Series’ total Series Assets, less liabilities, determined by our Manager in its sole discretion. We may, but are not obligated to, obtain a third-party valuation of the assets of the Series to determine “Asset Value.”

 

Property Management Fee: Our Manager or its designated Affiliate will receive a Property Management Fee of $59.00 per month for each real property Asset held by a Series.

 

Commission as Buyer's Agent:  Our Manager or an affiliate of the Manager will represent the Company during the asset purchase process and could receive a commission as buyer's agent, which is typically between 0% to 3% of the acquisition price, based on the agreement with Seller's listing agent. The commission received as buyer's agent is for providing services such as scheduling viewings, submitting offers, negotiating purchase prices, and managing the closing process. Commission for services as Buyer's Agent is paid by Seller at the time of closing. 

 

These fees were determined internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. As a result, they may be higher than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

Other Services: We may retain certain of the Managing Member’s Affiliates, for services relating to Series Assets or operations of the Company or a Series, including any administrative services, construction, brokerage, leasing, development, financing, title, insurance, property oversight and other asset management services. Any such arrangements will be at market terms and rates, as determined by the Managing Member. We cannot make a reasonable estimate at this time if any of the Other Services, if at all, would be provided by any affiliates and any applicable fees that may be incurred in the future.

 

Transferability

 

Series Interests will not be listed or quoted on any securities exchange.  We expect that after a Series Interest Offering has concluded, the Public Private Execution Network Alternative Trading System, or PPEX ATS (the “Secondary Trading Platform”), which is registered with the SEC and operated by North Capital Private Securities Corporation (“North Capital”), will be a venue available for the resale of such Series Interests through the Broker Dealer, as a broker dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of a Series Interest will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Operating Agreement (as defined below) and the Series Designation, as applicable, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Series Interests will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Series Interests to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Series Interests indefinitely. See “Plan of Distribution - Transferability of the Series Interests.” See also Sample Agreement with North Capital PPEX in Exhibit 6.9.  All transaction fees associated with buying or selling Series Interests on the Secondary Trading Platform will be paid by the Manager.

 

Our Manager may refuse a transfer by an interest holder of its Series Interests in a Series if such transfer would result in (a) there being more than 2,000 beneficial owners in such Series or more than 500 beneficial owners that are not “accredited investors,” (b) the assets of a series being deemed plan assets for purposes of ERISA, (c) a change of U.S. federal income tax treatment of the Company and/or a Series, (d) the Company, any Series, our Manager, or its affiliates being subject to additional regulatory requirements, or (e) violation of the Company’s ownership limitations. Furthermore, as the interests are not registered under the Securities Act, transfers of interests may only be effected pursuant to exemptions under the Securities Act and as permitted by applicable state securities laws. See “Description of the Securities Being Offered – General Restrictions on Transfer” for more information.

 

For Series that will not be taxed as a REIT, the ownership limitation is 19.9%. For each Series taxed a REIT, the ownership limitation is either no more than 9.8% in value or number of Series Interests, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding equity capital, or 9.8% in value or number of Series Interests, whichever is more restrictive, of our Series Interests or any class or series of the outstanding interests. Our Manager may, in its sole discretion, waive the ownership limit with respect to a particular holder of Series Interests. 

_________________________ 

1 The terms “Member” and “Subscriber” are both used to refer to investors in the Series Interests. Which term is used depends on the context: discussions about the subscription process generally use the term “Subscriber” whereas discussions about events occurring after the subscription process ends generally use the term “Member.”

Summary Risk Factors

 

An investment in Series Interests involves significant risks. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

 

An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the Company, any other Series or any Underlying Asset.

 

 

 

 

If the Company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then investors may have to share any liabilities of the Company or a Series with all investors and not just those who hold the same Series Interests as them.

 

 

 

 

Each Series will rely on its Manager, Tirios Corporation, to manage its Underlying Asset.

  

 

If we fail to manage our growth, we may not have access to sufficient personnel and other resources to operate our business and our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

 

 

 

If the Company fails to attract and retain its key personnel, we may not be able to achieve our anticipated level of growth and our business could suffer.

 

 

 

 

There is competition for time among the various entities and Series sharing the same management team.

 

 

 

 

The Company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate.

 

 

 

 

Possible changes in federal tax laws make it impossible to give certainty to the tax treatment of Series Interests.

 

 

 

 

Persons who provide services to the Company may also provide services to our Manager or affiliates thereof. Such service providers may be required to terminate representation of the Company if conflicts of interests arise that cannot be resolved or waived.

 

 

 

 

There is no public trading market for our Series Interests. There are also transfer restrictions contained in our operating agreement, as amended from time to time (“Operating Agreement”). It will thus be difficult for an investor to sell Series Interests purchased from the Company.

 

 

The termination of our Manager is generally limited to cause, which may make it difficult or costly to end our (or a Series’) relationship with our Manager.

 

 

Potential conflicts of interest may arise among our Manager and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Company, a Series and/or our investors, on the other hand.

 

 

We may not be able to control a Series’ operating costs or revenues, causing the Series’ results of operations to be adversely affected.

 

 

Our investors do not elect or vote on our Manager and have limited ability to influence decisions regarding the businesses of the Series.

 

 

The Series Interest holders will have limited voting rights.

 

 

Any Series may be unable to generate sufficient cash flows from its operations and capital transactions to make distributions to holders of interests at any time in the future.

 

 

Failure of each Series to be classified as a separate entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes could adversely affect the timing, amount and character of distributions to a holder of interests.

 

 

The failure of a Series to qualify as a REIT would subject it to U.S. federal income tax and applicable state and local taxes, which would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to holders of our Series Interests.

The Current Offering

 

Securities Being Offered:

 

We are offering the minimum and maximum number of Series Interests of each Series at a price per Series Interest set forth in the “Series Offering Table” section above.

 

 

 

 

 

The Series Interests will be limited to voting on only certain matters set forth in the Operating Agreement for Tirios Propco Series LLC dated April 13, 2023, as amended from time to time (the “Operating Agreement”) including the Series Designations applicable to the Series.

 

 

 

Minimum and Maximum Subscription:

 

Series Interests will be sold for $100.00 each. The minimum subscription by an investor is $100.00 per Series. The maximum subscription by any investor for Series Interests is 19.9% of non-REIT Series and 9.8% of the total Series Interests of a particular Series for REIT Series, although such minimum and maximum thresholds may be waived or modified by our Manager in its sole discretion. See “Plan of Distribution” for additional information.

 

 

 

Use of Proceeds:

 

Net proceeds from the sale of Series Interests will be used generally to purchase and improve the relevant Underlying Assets set forth in the “Series Offering Table” above, pay fees due our Manager, cover allocated offering and operating expenses and create a maintenance reserve for the applicable Underlying Assets, and repay advances from our Manager which is used to finance all or part of the purchase prices of the Underlying Assets or operation of the Series. See “Use of Proceeds” for further details.

 

 

 

Secondary Market:

 

The Series Interests will generally not be transferable except through the Secondary Trading Platform. We expect that after a Series’ Offering has concluded, the Secondary Trading Platform will be a venue available for the resale of such Series Interests through the Broker Dealer, as a broker dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of a Series Interest will be subject to federal and state securities laws and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Shares will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resale of Series Interests to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely.

 

See “Plan of Distribution – Transferability of the Series Interests.”

TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

No information contained herein, nor in any prior, contemporaneous or subsequent communication should be construed by a prospective investor as legal or tax advice. We are not providing any tax advice as to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the securities offered herein. In making an investment decision, investors are strongly encouraged to consult their own tax advisor to determine the U.S. Federal, state and any applicable foreign tax consequences relating to their investment in our securities. This written communication is not intended to be “written advice,” as defined in Circular 230 published by the U.S. Treasury Department

 

RISK FACTORS

 

The Series Interests offered hereby are highly speculative in nature, involve a high degree of risk and should be purchased only by persons who can afford to lose their entire investment. There can be no assurance that our investment objectives will be achieved or that a secondary market will ever develop for the interests. The risks described in this section should not be considered an exhaustive list of the risks that prospective investors should consider before investing in the Series Interests. Prospective investors should obtain their own legal and tax advice prior to making an investment in the interests and should be aware that an investment in the interests may be exposed to other risks of an exceptional nature from time to time. Additionally, early-stage companies are inherently more risky than more developed companies. You should consider general risks as well as specific risks when deciding whether to invest. The following considerations are among those that should be carefully evaluated before making an investment in Series Interests.

 

Risks Relating to the Structure, Operation and Performance of the Company

 

An investment in an offering constitutes only an investment in that Series and not in the Company or any other Series or Underlying Asset. A purchase of Series Interests in a Series does not constitute an investment in either the Company or an Underlying Asset directly, or in any other Series Interest. This results in limited voting rights of the investor, which are solely related to a particular Series, and are further limited by the Operating Agreement, of the Company, described further herein. Thus, our Manager retains significant control over the management of the Company, each Series, and the Underlying Assets.

 

Furthermore, because the Series Interests in a Series do not constitute an investment in the Company as a whole, holders of the Series Interests in a Series are not expected to receive any economic benefit from, or be subject to the liabilities of, the assets of any other Series. In addition, the economic interest of a holder in a Series will not be identical to owning a direct undivided interest in an Underlying Asset because, among other things, the Managing Member will make most decisions relating to the Underlying Asset and the LLC Manager will receive fees based on asset value of all assets held..

 

Liability of investors between Series may not be honored. The Company is structured as a Delaware series limited liability company that issues a separate Series Interests for specific Underlying Assets. Each Series will merely be a separate Series and not a separate legal entity. Under the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act (the “LLC Act”), if certain conditions (as set forth in Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act) are met, the liability of investors holding Series Interests in one Series is segregated from the liability of investors holding Series Interests in another Series and the assets of one Series are not available to satisfy the liabilities of other Series.

 

Although this limitation of liability is recognized by the courts of Delaware, there is no guarantee that if challenged in the courts of another U.S. State or a foreign jurisdiction, such courts will uphold a similar interpretation of Delaware corporation law, and in the past certain jurisdictions have not honored such interpretation.

 

If the Company’s series limited liability company structure is not respected, then investors may have to share any liabilities of the Company with all investors and not just those who hold the same Series Interests as them and account for them separately and otherwise meet the requirements of the LLC Act, it is possible a court could conclude that the methods used did not satisfy Section 18-215(b) of the LLC Act and thus potentially expose the assets of a Series to the liabilities of another Series. The consequence of this is that investors may have to bear higher than anticipated expenses which would adversely affect the value of their Series Interests or the likelihood of any distributions being made by a particular Series to its investors. Further, if the series structure is not respected, it could affect taxation of the Company or any Series, including the ability of a Series to be taxed as a REIT if it has made that election.

Table of Contents

 

In addition, the Company is not aware of any court case that has tested the limitations on inter-series liability provided by Section 18- 215(b) in federal bankruptcy courts and it is possible that a bankruptcy court could determine that the assets of one Series should be applied to meet the liabilities of the other Series or the liabilities of the Company generally where the assets of such other Series or of the Company generally are insufficient to meet its liabilities.

 

If any fees, costs and expenses of the Company are not allocable to a specific Series, they will be borne proportionately across all of the Series (which may include future Series to be issued). Although our Manager will allocate fees, costs and expenses acting reasonably and in accordance with its allocation policy (see “Description of the Business – Allocations of Expenses” section), there may be situations where it is difficult to allocate fees, costs and expenses to a specific Series and therefore, there is a risk that a Series may bear a proportion of the fees, costs and expenses for a service or product for which another Series received a disproportionately high benefit.

 

Each of the Company’s Series will hold an interest in a single Underlying Asset, a non-diversified investment. We intend for each of our Series to own and operate a single Underlying Asset and as a result of this non-diversified investment strategy. Each Series’ return on its investment will depend on the revenues generated by such Underlying Asset and the appreciation of the value of the asset over time. These, in turn, are determined by such factors as national and local economic cycles and conditions, financial markets and the economy, competition and government regulation (such as tax and building code charges). The value of an Underlying Asset may decline substantially after a Series purchases it.

 

Each Series will rely on our Manager to manage each Underlying Asset. Following the acquisition of any Underlying Asset, the Underlying Asset will be managed by Tirios Corporation. In addition, in exchange for its asset management, Tirios Corporation will be entitled to fees from each Series. Any compensation arrangements will be determined by Tirios Corporation sitting on both sides of the table and will not be an arm’s length transaction.

 

If we fail to manage our growth, we may not have access to sufficient personnel and other resources to operate our business and our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer. We intend to establish additional Series and acquire additional assets in the future. As we do so, we will be increasingly reliant on the resources of our Manager to manage our Underlying Assets and the Company. If its resources are not adequate to manage our Underlying Assets effectively, our results, financial condition and ability to make distributions to investors may suffer.

 

If our Manager fails to attract and retain its key personnel, the Company may not be able to achieve its anticipated level of growth and its business could suffer. The Company’s future depends, in part, on our Manager’s ability to attract and retain key personnel. Our future also depends on the continued contributions of the executive officers and other key personnel of our Manager, each of whom could be difficult to replace.

 

In particular, Sachin Latawa, the Chief Executive Officer of Tirios Corporation, is critical to the management of the Company’s business and operations and the development of its strategic direction. The loss of the services of Mr. Latawa or other executive officers or key personnel of Tirios Corporation, and the process to replace any of those key personnel would involve significant time and expense and may significantly delay or prevent the achievement of the Company’s business objectives.

 

There is competition for time among the various entities sharing the same management team. Currently, Tirios Corporation is our Manager the Company and each Series, and is the property manager for each Series. The Company expects to create more Series in the future as additional attractive properties are identified. It is foreseeable that at certain times the various Series will be competing for time from the management team.

 

The Company has limited operating history for investors to evaluate. The Company and each Series were recently formed and have not generated any revenues and have no operating history upon which prospective investors may evaluate their performance. No guarantee can be given that the Company or any Series will achieve their investment objectives, the value of any Underlying Assets will increase or that any Underlying Assets will be successfully monetized.

Possible changes in federal tax laws make it impossible to give certainty to the tax treatment of any Series Interests. The Code is subject to change by Congress, and interpretations of the Code may be modified or affected by judicial decisions, by the Treasury Department through changes in regulations and by the Internal Revenue Service through its audit policy, announcements, and published and private rulings. Although significant changes to the tax laws historically have been given prospective application, no assurance can be given that any changes made in that law affecting an investment in any Series of the Company would be limited to prospective effect.

 

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include a going concern opinion. Our financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. We are newly formed and have not generated revenue from operations. We will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. There are no assurances that we will be able to raise capital on acceptable terms. If we are unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned development and operations, which could harm our business, financial condition and operating results. Therefore, there is substantial doubt about the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern.

 

If the Company does not successfully dispose of Underlying Assets, you may have to hold your investment for an indefinite period. The determination of whether to dispose of the Underlying Assets associated with any Series is entirely at the discretion of our Manager. Even if our Manager decides to dispose of such Underlying Assets, the Company cannot guarantee that it will be able to dispose of them at a favorable price to investors.

 

Competition with other parties for investments may reduce the Company’s profitability. The Company will compete with other entities engaged in real estate, financial and business investment, including financial institutions, many of which have greater resources than the Company does. Larger entities may enjoy significant competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital. Such competition could make it more difficult for the Company to obtain future funding, which could affect the Company’s growth.

 

Potential breach of the security measures of our investment platform could have a material adverse effect on the Company. The highly automated nature of the investment platform through which potential investors acquire interests may make it an attractive target and potentially vulnerable to cyber-attacks, computer viruses, physical or electronic break-ins or similar disruptions. While we intend to take commercially reasonable measures to protect our confidential information and maintain appropriate cybersecurity, the security measures of the investment platform, the Company, our Manager or our service providers could be breached. Any accidental or willful security breaches or other unauthorized access could cause confidential information to be stolen and used for criminal purposes or have other harmful effects. Security breaches or unauthorized access to confidential information could also expose us to liability related to the loss of the information, time-consuming and expensive litigation and negative publicity.

 

Non-compliance with certain securities regulations may result in the liquidation and winding up of the Company. We are not registered and will not be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”), and neither our Manager nor its managers is or will be registered as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Advisers Act”), and thus the Series Interests do not have the benefit of the protections of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act. We and our Manager have taken the position that the underlying assets are not “securities” within the meaning of the of the Investment Company Act or the Investment Advisers Act, and thus our assets will comprise of less than 40% investment securities under the Investment Company Act and our Manager will not be advising with respect to securities under the Investment Advisers Act. This position, however, is based upon applicable case law that is inherently subject to judgments and interpretation. If we were to be required to register under the Investment Company Act or our Manager were to be required to register under the Investment Advisers Act, it could have a material and adverse impact on the results of operations and expenses of the Company and our Manager may be forced to liquidate and wind up the Company or rescind the offering of Series Interests.

 

There may be deficiencies with our internal controls that require improvements, and if we are unable to adequately evaluate internal controls, we may be subject to sanctions. As a Tier 2 issuer, we will not need to provide a report on the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, and we will be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements concerning any such report so long as we are a Tier 2 issuer. We do not know whether our internal control procedures are effective and therefore there is a greater likelihood of undiscovered errors in our internal controls or reported financial statements as compared to issuers that have conducted such evaluations.

Using a credit card to purchase shares may impact the return on your investment as well as subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment. Investors in this offering may have the option of paying for their investment with a credit card, which is not usual in the traditional investment markets. Transaction fees charged by your credit card company and interest charged on unpaid card balances (which can reach almost 25% in some states) add to the effective purchase price of the interests you buy. The cost of using a credit card may also increase if you do not make the minimum monthly card payments and incur late fees. Using a credit card is a relatively new form of payment for securities and will subject you to other risks inherent in this form of payment, including that, if you fail to make credit card payments (e.g. minimum monthly payments), you risk damaging your credit score and payment by credit card may be more susceptible to abuse than other forms of payment. Moreover, where a third-party payment processor is used, as in this offering, your recovery options in the case of disputes may be limited. The increased costs due to transaction fees and interest may reduce the return on your investment.

 

The SEC’s Office of Investor Education and Advocacy issued an Investor Alert dated February 14, 2018 entitled Credit Cards and Investments – A Risky Combination, which explains these and other risks you may want to consider before using a credit card to pay for your investment.

 

Our Operating Agreement contains provisions that reduce or eliminate duties (including fiduciary duties) of our Manager. Our Operating Agreement provides that our Manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as Manager, will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting us or any of our investors and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by our Operating Agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or under any other law, rule, or regulation, or in equity. The Operating Agreement allows our Manager and its affiliates to have other business interests, including those that compete with the Company.

 

The laws of the State of Delaware permit a Company to eliminate or alter the fiduciary duties of its Manager or other persons and replace them with the standards set forth in our Operating Agreement. Provisions eliminating or altering the fiduciary duties of a Company’s Manager, officers, or its affiliates (“fiduciary covered persons”) are inconsistent with federal securities laws and the SEC’s views on such fiduciary covered persons’ fiduciary duties. Nothing in the Operating Agreement modifying, restricting, or eliminating the duties or liabilities of our Manager, officers, or its affiliates shall apply to, or in any way limit, the duties (including state law fiduciary duties of loyalty and care) or liabilities of such fiduciary covered persons with respect to matters arising under the federal securities laws.

 

We do not have a conflicts of interest policy. Our Company, our Manager and their affiliates will try to balance our Series Interests with their own. However, to the extent that such parties take actions that are more favorable to other entities than the Company, these actions could have a negative impact on our financial performance and, consequently, on distributions to investors and the value of interests. We have not adopted, and do not intend to adopt in the future, either a conflicts of interest policy or a conflicts resolution policy.

 

Conflicts may exist among our Manager and its employees or affiliates. Our Manager will engage with, on behalf of the Company, a number of brokers, asset sellers, insurance companies, and maintenance providers and other service providers and thus may receive in-kind discounts. In such circumstances, it is likely that these in-kind discounts may be retained for the benefit of our Manager and not the Company. Our Manager may be incentivized to choose a service provider or seller based on the benefits they are to receive.

 

There may be conflicting interests of investors. Our Manager will determine whether or not to acquire or liquidate our Underlying Assets. When determining to acquire or liquidate an Underlying Asset, our Manager will do so considering all of the circumstances at the time, which may include obtaining or paying a price for an Underlying Asset that is in the best interests of some but not all of the investors.

 

Conflicts may exist between service providers, the Company, each Series, our Manager and their affiliates. Our service providers may provide services to our Manager, each Series and the Company. Because such providers may represent both the Company and such other parties, certain conflicts of interest exist and may arise. To the extent that an irreconcilable conflict develops between us and any of the other parties, providers may represent such other parties and not the Company. Providers may, in the future, render services to us or other related parties with respect to activities relating to the Company as well as other unrelated activities. Legal counsel is not representing any prospective investors in connection with this offering. Prospective investors are advised to consult their own independent counsel with respect to the other legal and tax implications of an investment in our Series Interests.

 

The terms of our Operating Agreement make it difficult to end our relationship with our Manager. Under the terms of our Operating Agreement, holders of Series Interests in each Series of the Company have the right to remove our Manager as manager of the Company, by a vote of two-thirds of the holders of all interests in each Series of the Company (excluding our manager) voting together, in the event our Manager is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a Series of Series Interests or the Company. Unsatisfactory financial performance does not constitute grounds to terminate and remove our Manager under the Operating Agreement. These provisions make it difficult to end the Company’s relationship with our Manager, even if we believe our Manager’s performance is not satisfactory.

We and Tirios Corporation determined the amount of fees paid to Tirios Corporation and its affiliates internally without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. While we and Tirios Corporation generally seek to set these fees to be comparable to prevailing market rates in the relevant geographic area, we have determined the fee rates without any independent assessment of comparable market fees. As a result, these fees may be higher than those available from unaffiliated third parties.

 

The Series’ results of operations may be negatively impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus, or COVID-19, was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has spread to many countries, including the United States, and was declared to be a pandemic by the World Health Organization. Efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 have intensified, and the U.S., Europe, and Asia have implemented severe travel restrictions and social distancing. The full impacts of the outbreak are unknown and rapidly evolving. Reduced demand for travel, whether as a result of regulatory restrictions or the fear of risks that travel may cause, may adversely impact the company’s and the Series’ revenue and financial condition. A widespread health crisis has adversely affected and could continue to affect the global economy, resulting in an economic downturn that could also negatively impact the company’s and each Series’ revenue and financial condition, as well as the value of the Series Interests and investor demand for the Series Interests generally.

 

The continued spread of COVID-19 has also led to severe disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which could increase the company’s cost of capital and adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets in the future. The continued spread of COVID-19 could cause a further economic slowdown or recession or cause other unpredictable events, each of which could adversely affect our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

 

The extent to which COVID-19 affects the company’s financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the COVID-19 outbreak and the actions to contain the outbreak or treat its impact, among others. Moreover, the COVID-19 outbreak has had and may continue to have indeterminable adverse effects on travel, general commercial activity and the world economy, and the company’s business and results of operations could be adversely affected to the extent that COVID-19 or any other pandemic harms the global economy generally.

 

Actual or threatened epidemics, pandemics, outbreaks, or other public health crises may adversely affect the Series’ business. The Series’ business could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to an epidemic, pandemic, outbreak, or other public health crisis, such as the recent outbreak of novel coronavirus, or COVID-19. The risk, or public perception of the risk, of a pandemic or media coverage of infectious diseases could adversely affect the company’s and the Series’ business and financial condition. “Shelter-in-place” or other such orders by governmental entities would further negatively impact the company’s and each Series’ business and could also disrupt the company’s operations if employees, who cannot perform their responsibilities from home, are not able to report to work.

 

The Company was recently incorporated and has limited assets and operating history.  Accordingly, there is limited performance history upon which to decide whether or not to invest in our common stock. We have limited performance history to which a potential investor may refer to in determining whether to invest in our Series Interests. Our limited operating history significantly increases the risk and uncertainty you face in making an investment in our Series Interests. 

 

Undercapitalization is the greatest risk facing any relatively newly formed business. If we are unable to continue to raise sufficient capital through this offering, there is a strong likelihood our business will fail and you may lose your entire investment.

 

We do not have guaranteed cash flow.  There can be no assurance that cash flow or profits will be generated by our Underlying Assets. If the Underlying Assets do not generate the anticipated amount of cash flow, we may not be able to pay the anticipated distributions to the investors.

 

The availability and timing of cash distributions is uncertain. There are many factors that can affect the availability and timing of cash distributions to Members. The amount of cash available for distribution will be affected by many factors, including without limitation, the amount of income we will earn from investments in Underlying Assets, the amount of operating expenses and many other variables. Actual cash available for distribution may vary substantially from our expectations.

Table of Contents

 

The inability of our Manager to retain or obtain key personnel could delay or hinder implementation of our investment strategies, which could impair our ability to make distributions and could reduce the value of your investment. Competition for highly skilled personnel is intense, and our Manager may be unsuccessful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel. If our Manager loses or is unable to obtain the services of highly skilled personnel, our ability to implement our investment strategies could be delayed or hindered, and the value of your investment may decline or your investment may be lost entirely.

 

Because we are dependent upon our Manager and its affiliates to conduct our operations, any adverse changes in the financial health of our Manager or its affiliates or our relationship with them could hinder our operating performance and the return on your investment. We are dependent on our Manager and its affiliates to manage our operations and acquire and manage our portfolio of real estate assets. Our Manager makes all decisions with respect to the management of the Company and Series. Our Manager depends upon the fees and other compensation that it receives from us in connection with managing the Company to conduct its operations. Any adverse changes in the financial condition of our Manager or its affiliates, or our relationship with our Manager, could hinder its ability to successfully manage our operations and our Series, which would adversely affect us and our investors.

  

We might use high leverage, which increases our risk of loss due to potential foreclosure. 

 

We have no limit on the financial leverage any Series may incur. Our Manager has broad authority to incur debt, and high debt levels could hinder a Series’ ability to make distributions and could decrease the value of properties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we expect to use between 60% to 75% financing leverage at the acquisition date of a property based on the acquisition price, although such loan to value ratio may be higher or lower as determined in our Manager’s sole discretion. As with any liability, there is a risk that a Series may be unable to repay its obligations from the cash flow of its assets, which could lead to potential foreclosure of its property if it cannot meet periodic payments or repay the debt when due.

 

Risk related to rising interest rates and availability of financing options . Our use of leverage to acquire properties exposes us to the risk of increased interest rates, which have risen in recent years. Despite the recent moderation in interest rates and a pause in the more aggressive interest rate hikes, inflation remains in the economy. Market conditions have stabilized, at least for now, but the Fed could resume interest rate hikes in the upcoming meetings to reach their target objective of a 2% inflation rate. Higher interest rates increase our debt servicing costs on any new loans, limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute, could result in a decline in the value of the properties, increase our refinancing risk for current properties, and restrict access to financing options for new acquisitions.

  

Risks Related to this Offering and Ownership of our Series Interests

 

The Company may not raise sufficient funds to achieve its business objectives. There is no minimum amount required to be raised before the Company can accept your subscription for the Series Interests, and it can access the funds immediately. The Company may not raise an amount sufficient for it to meet all of its objectives, including acquiring the Underlying Assets. Once the Company accepts your investment funds, there will be no obligation to return your funds. Even if other Series Interests are sold, there may be insufficient funds raised through this offering to cover the expenses associated with the offering or complete the purchase of the Underlying Assets and the development and implementation of the Company’s operations. The lack of sufficient funds to pay expenses and for working capital will negatively impact the Company’s ability to implement and complete its planned use of proceeds.

 

The Company’s management has full discretion as to the use of proceeds from the offering. The Company presently anticipates that the net proceeds from the offering will be used as set out in “Use of Proceeds.” Proceeds from the sale of a Series’ Series Interests will generally be used to acquire and improve the Underlying Asset for that Series and for working capital for that Series; however, the Manager for each Series has the authority to use the funds from the offering of that Series’ Series Interests for other purposes of the applicable Series not presently contemplated herein but which are related directly to the Underlying Asset or operation of that Series’. As a result of the foregoing, purchasers of the Series Interests hereby will be entrusting their funds to the management of the Series in which they invest, upon whose judgment and discretion the investors must depend, with only limited information concerning management’s specific intentions.

  

The Series Interests will not be listed on any securities exchange and will generally not be transferable, except through the Secondary Trading Platform to the extent such platform is established and maintained. You should be prepared to hold the Series Interests indefinitely. The Series Interests will not be listed on any securities exchange, such as Nasdaq or the New York Stock Exchange. The Series Interests will generally not be transferable except through the Secondary Trading Platform, to the extent such platform is established and maintained. We expect that after an Offering has concluded, the Secondary Trading Platform will be a venue available for the resale of such Series Interests through the Broker Dealer, as a broker dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, any such resale of a Series Interest will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Series Interests will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Series Interests to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Series Interests indefinitely. As a result, you may lose some or all of your investment. See “Plan of Distribution – Transferability of the Series Interests.” 

 

The trading price of Series Interests that trade on the Secondary Trading Platform may be extremely volatile. Securities that trade on the Secondary Trading Platform, as with other public markets, likely will experience significant price and volume fluctuations. These fluctuations can be more pronounced for securities that have a small public float, such as the Series Interests. Series Interest prices could fluctuate widely in price in response to various potential factors, many of which will be beyond our control, including the total number of available buyers or sellers at any point in time, general market conditions, geopolitical, and other external factors. As a result, the market prices of the Series Interests that are listed may be volatile, and holders of such Series Interests may experience a decrease in the value of their holdings. No assurance can be given that the market price of the Series Interests will not fluctuate or decline significantly in the future or that you will be able to sell your Series Interests when desired on favorable terms or at all.

 

While we expect the Secondary Trading Platform will be available after the conclusion of a Series’ Offering, such resale of a Series Interest will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Series Interests will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Series Interests to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Shares indefinitely. See “Plan of Distribution – Transferability of the Series Interests.”

 

Because of the illiquid nature of Series Interests, you should purchase the Series Interests only as a long-term investment and be prepared to hold them for an indefinite period of time.

 

The purchase prices for the Series Interests have been arbitrarily determined. The purchase price for the Series Interests has been arbitrarily determined by the Company and bears no relationship to the Company’s assets, book value, earnings or other generally accepted criteria of value. In determining pricing, the Company considered factors such as the purchase and holding costs of the Underlying Assets, the Company’s limited financial resources, the nature of its assets, estimates of its business potential, the degree of equity or control desired to be retained by Manager and general economic conditions.

There are restrictions on an investor’s ability to sell its interests making it difficult to transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of our Series Interests. Each state has its own securities laws, often called “blue sky” laws, which limit sales of securities to a state’s residents unless the securities are registered in that state or qualify for an exemption from registration. Before a security is sold in a state, there must be a registration in place to cover the transaction, or it must be exempt from registration. Our Series Interests will not be registered under the laws of any states. There may be significant state blue sky law restrictions on the ability of investors to sell, and on purchasers to buy, our Series Interests. Investors should consider the resale market for our Series Interests to be limited. Investors may be unable to resell their Series Interests, or they may be unable to resell them without the significant expense of state registration or qualification.

 

In addition, there are significant transfer restrictions contained in our Operating Agreement that prohibit transfers under certain circumstances.

 

Investors will be subject to the terms of the Subscription Agreement. As part of this investment, each investor will be required to agree to the terms of the Subscription Agreement included as Exhibit 4.1 to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is part. The Subscription Agreement requires investors to indemnify the Company for any claim of brokerage commissions, finders’ fees, or similar compensation and for misrepresentations. Legal conflicts relating to the Subscription Agreement will likely be heard in Delaware courts and will be governed by  Delaware law.

 

Investors in this offering may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to claims arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action under these Agreements. Investors in this offering will be bound by the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement, both of which include a provision under which investors waive the right to a jury trial of any claim, other than claims arising under federal securities laws, that they may have against the Company arising out of or relating to these agreements. By signing these agreements, the investor warrants that the investor has reviewed this waiver with his or her legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives the investor’s jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel.

 

If you bring a claim against the Company in connection with matters arising under the Subscription Agreement or Operating Agreement, other than claims under the federal securities laws, you may not be entitled to a jury trial with respect to those claims, which may have the effect of limiting and discouraging lawsuits against the Company. If a lawsuit is brought against the Company under one of those agreements, it may be heard only by a judge or justice of the applicable trial court, which would be conducted according to different civil procedures and may result in different outcomes than a trial by jury would have had, including results that could be less favorable to the plaintiff(s) in such an action.

 

In addition, when the Series Interests are transferred, the transferee is required to agree to all the same conditions, obligations, and restrictions applicable to the Series Interests or to the transferor with regard to ownership of the Series Interests, that were in effect immediately prior to the transfer of the Series Interests, including the Subscription Agreement and the Operating Agreement.

 

The Company’s Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement each include a forum selection provision, which could result in less favorable outcomes to the plaintiff(s) in any action against the Company. The Operating Agreement of Tirios Propco Series LLC includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with the Operating Agreement, or the transactions contemplated thereby, other than matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. Our Subscription Agreement for each manner of investing and class of security includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding arising from the Subscription Agreement, other than matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in a state of federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware. These forum selection provisions may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

We are offering our Series Interests pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A and we cannot be certain if the reduced disclosure requirements applicable to Tier 2 issuers will make our Series Interests less attractive to investors as compared to a traditional initial public offering. As a Tier 2 issuer, we are subject to scaled disclosure and reporting requirements as compared to companies whose securities are registered under the Securities Act or Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which may make an investment in our Series Interests less attractive to investors who are accustomed to enhanced disclosure and more frequent financial reporting. The differences between disclosures for Tier 2 issuers versus those for emerging growth companies include, without limitation, only needing to file final semiannual reports as opposed to quarterly reports and far fewer circumstances where a current disclosure would be required. If our scaled disclosure and reporting requirements reduces the attractiveness of the interests, we may be unable to raise the funds necessary to fund future offerings, which could impair our ability to offer a diversified portfolio of investments and create economies of scale, which may adversely affect the value of the interests or the ability to make distributions to investors.

 

We are subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than rules for more mature public companies, and our investors receive less information. We are required to report on an ongoing basis under the reporting rules set forth in Regulation A for Tier 2 issuers. The ongoing reporting requirements under Regulation A are more relaxed than for public companies reporting under the Exchange Act. The differences include, but are not limited to, being required to file only annual and semiannual reports, rather than annual and quarterly reports. Annual reports are due within 120 calendar days after the end of our fiscal year, and semiannual reports are due within 90 calendar days after the end of the first six months of our fiscal year.

 

We also may elect to become a public reporting company under the Exchange Act. If we elect or are required to do so, we will be required to publicly report on an ongoing basis as an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act, under the reporting rules set forth under the Exchange Act. For so long as we remain an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other Exchange Act reporting companies that are not emerging growth companies, including, but not limited to:

 

not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act;

 

being permitted to comply with reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements; and

 

being exempt from the requirement to hold a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

In addition, Section 107 of the JOBS Act also provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 7(a)(2)(B) of the Securities Act for complying with new or revised accounting standards. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We would expect to elect to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period. Our financial statements may therefore not be comparable to those of companies that comply with such new or revised accounting standards.

 

We would expect to take advantage of these reporting exemptions until we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would remain an emerging growth company for up to five years, or until the earliest of (i) the last day of the first fiscal year in which our total annual gross revenues exceed $1 billion; (ii) the date that we become a large accelerated filer as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Series Interests that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter; or (iii) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three-year period.

 

In either case, we will be subject to ongoing public reporting requirements that are less rigorous than Exchange Act rules for companies that are not emerging growth companies, and investors could receive less information than they might expect to receive from more mature public companies.

 

We are relying on the exemption for insignificant participation by benefit plan investors under ERISA. The Plan Assets Regulation of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) provides that the assets of an entity will not be deemed to be the assets of a benefits plan if equity participation in the entity by benefit plan investors, including benefit plans, is not significant.  The Plan Assets Regulation provides that equity participation in the entity by benefit plan investors is “significant” if, at any time, 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest is held by benefit plan investors.  Because we are relying on this exemption, we will not accept investments from benefit plan investments of  25% or more of the value of any class of equity interest.  If repurchases of Series Interests reach  25%, we may repurchase shares of benefit plan investors without their consent until we are under such 25% limit. See the section of this offering circular captioned “ERISA Considerations” for additional information regarding the Plan Assets Regulation.

Shares are being offered under an offering exemption, and if it were later determined that such exemption was not available, purchasers would be entitled to rescind their purchase agreements. Series Interests are being offered to prospective investors pursuant to Tier 2 of Regulation A under the Securities Act. Unless the sale of Series Interests should qualify for such exemption the investors might have the right to rescind their purchase of Series Interests. Since compliance with these exemptions is highly technical, it is possible that if an investor were to seek rescission, such investor would succeed. A similar situation prevails under state law in those states where Series Interests may be offered without registration. If a number of investors were to be successful in seeking rescission, the Company would face severe financial demands that could adversely affect the Company and, thus, the non-rescinding investors.

 

Risks Related to Tokenization and Blockchain

 

The concept of tokenizing fractionalized shares of real estate properties is an emerging and highly competitive field.  The equity crowdfunding and tokenization markets are emerging industries where new competitors are entering the market frequently. Many of the Company’s competitors have significantly greater financial, technical, and human resources and may have superior expertise in research and development and marketing of their real estate properties. These competitors also compete with the Company in recruiting and retaining qualified personnel and acquiring technologies. Smaller or early-stage companies may also prove to be significant competitors, particularly through collaborative arrangements with large and established companies. If the Company is unable to achieve initial market acceptance and raise sufficient capital, it may not be able to purchase the planned (or any) Properties, which would negatively impact investor returns.

 

Blockchain technology is a relatively new and untested technology. The risks associated with blockchain technology may not emerge until the technology is widely used. A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that records transactions between two parties in a verifiable and permanent way using cryptography. Transactions on the blockchain are permanently recorded on the blockchain in collections of transactions called “blocks.” Blockchain networks are based upon software source code that establishes and governs their respective cryptographic systems for verifying transactions.

 

Blockchain is a nascent and rapidly changing technology that is novel and untested and may contain inherent flaws or limitations. Blockchain systems could be vulnerable to fraud, theft, destruction or inaccessibility and there can be no assurances that the blockchain and the creation, transfer, or storage of the Tokens will be uninterrupted or fully secure.

 

The primary source of Series Interests holdings will be maintained by the Transfer Agent in book form. Since Tokens constitute a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative, there would not be any direct impact for the Company as a result of any blockchain related cyberattacks, fraud, breach, theft, destruction, inaccessibility or accidental transactions. However, such events could impact the participation of potential investors and negatively impact the potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

 

Technological developments may lead to technical or other flaws (including undiscovered flaws) in the underlying blockchain technology, including in the process by which transactions are recorded to a blockchain or the development of new or existing hardware or software tools or mechanisms, which could negatively impact the functionality of the blockchain systems, all of which could impact the participation of potential investors and negatively impacting potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

 

Tokens are a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests and are not sold independently of Series Interests. There are no practical or direct considerations for investors due to the use of blockchain or distributed ledger technology used in the manner used by the Company to create digital courtesy copy of all records compared to an offering where blockchain technology is not used. However, Investors may hesitate to invest in Series’ Interests linked to blockchain technology, which could impact the participation of potential investors and negatively impact the potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

 

The Series Interests will not be offered or sold in states where laws and regulations prohibit the use or issuance of Tokens. However, since the Tokens represent the digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests, we don’t expect any legal considerations as compared to the offering without any blockchain technology used. Series Interests will not be offered until all required notices and fees have been filed and paid in a particular state. 

 

Risks related to loss of keys by Subscriber. A Subscriber may lose access to the public key for their blockchain wallet, which is required to access the financial performance and other account information stored on the blockchain. There would not be any direct impact as a result of such loss of keys since any information stored on blockchain represents a digital courtesy copy and will continue to be available to the Subscriber in the book form. However, such a loss could negatively impact the behavior and participation of potential investors and negatively impact the potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests. The blockchain wallet and public key for the wallet can be accessed by the Subscriber through the Platform. If the Subscriber forgets the password for the investment platform, they can reset their password using the form available during the login process using their email. If the Subscriber loses access to their email account, which was used during the account creation process, they are instructed to contact our team at members@tirios.ai and validate their identity to reset the investment platform access for them. Once they gain access to the investment platform again, they can access their public key.

 

Support for the Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain could experience performance issues or could be discontinued. Hyperledger Fabric is an open source, permissioned blockchain framework, started in 2015 by The Linux Foundation. It is a modular, general-purpose framework that offers unique access control features, which make it suitable for a variety of industry applications such as track-and-trace of supply chains, trade finance, loyalty and rewards, as well as clearing and settlement of financial assets. Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain is a scalable solution to be able to process millions of transactions with our current infrastructure. There are studies available in the public domain where 20,000 transactions/second were processed on Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain in a controlled environment. In case required, the architecture can further be improved by batching transactions before being sent to the Blockchain by making use of a queuing solution.

 

One of the benefits of setting up the permissioned blockchain ledger is that in case the Hyperledger Fabric platform is no longer supported by the open source community and The Linux Foundation, we will be able to continue running the Blockchain network on our infrastructure. Alternatively, we may decide to migrate to another Blockchain solution like Polygon, Ethereum, etc. and discontinue using Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain. In the event of such migration, we intend to replace the Token for all previously issued Series Interests and the Token smart contract for impacted Series Interests with a new token using a new smart contract on another Blockchain in that situation. Since Tokens constitute a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests, which are governed by the Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement, there would not be any direct impact as a result of such migration. However, such a change could impact the participation of potential investors and negatively impact potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

 

Tokens can be modified if smart contract turns out to be defective. If we discover errors or unexpected functionalities in the Token smart contract, we may make a determination that the Token smart contract is defective and that its use should be discontinued. We intend to replace the Token for impacted Series Interests and the Token smart contract for impacted Series Interests with a new token using a new smart contract in that situation.

 

Since Tokens constitute a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests, which are governed by the Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement, there would not be any direct impact as a result of such actions. However, such a change could impact the participation of potential investors and negatively impact potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

 

The regulatory regime governing blockchain technologies, tokens, and token offerings, is uncertain, and new regulations or policies may adversely affect the Company’s business plan. Regulation of tokens and token offerings, blockchain technologies, and token exchanges is being developed and likely to rapidly evolve. Regulations on token offerings vary significantly by type of token and among international, federal, state, and local jurisdictions and are subject to significant uncertainty. Various legislative and executive bodies in the United States and in other countries may in the future, adopt laws, regulations, guidance, or other actions, which may severely impact the development, growth, adoption, and utility of such tokens. Failure by the Company or certain users to comply with any laws, rules, and regulations, some of which may not exist yet or are subject to interpretation, could result in a variety of adverse consequences, including civil penalties and fines. This could adversely affect the Company’s business plan, which involves raising capital via tokenizing the underlying properties and offering to investors.

 

As blockchain networks and blockchain assets have grown in popularity and in market size, federal and state agencies have begun to take interest in, and in some cases regulate, their use and operations. In the case of virtual currencies, state regulators like the New York Department of Financial Services have created new regulatory frameworks and special licenses for virtual currency business activities in the State of New York. Others, as in Texas, have published guidance on how their existing regulatory regimes apply to virtual currencies. Some states, like New Hampshire, North Carolina, and Washington, have amended their state’s statutes to include virtual currencies into existing licensing regimes. Treatment of virtual currencies continues to evolve under federal law as well. The Department of the Treasury, the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), for example, have published guidance on the treatment of virtual currencies. The IRS released guidance treating virtual currency as property that is not currency for U.S. federal income tax purposes, although there is no indication yet whether other courts or federal or state regulators will follow this classification. Both federal and state agencies have instituted enforcement actions against those violating their interpretation of nine (9) existing laws. The regulation of non-currency use of Blockchain assets is also uncertain. The CFTC has publicly taken the position that certain Blockchain assets are commodities, and the SEC has issued a public report stating federal securities laws require treating some Blockchain related assets as securities. To the extent that a domestic government or quasi-governmental agency exerts regulatory authority over a Blockchain network or asset, tokens may be adversely affected.

 

Recent disruptions in the cryptocurrency markets could negatively impact our reputation, invite increased regulation, and make it more difficult to raise capital needed to purchase Series Assets. We do not transact in or store cryptocurrencies, and crypto market fluctuations do not deter our commitment, alter our strategic roadmap, or directly impact our operations or financial condition. Although the Company’s position is that Tokens are not cryptocurrency nor securities, recent disruptions in the cryptocurrency markets have resulted in increased interest in governmental regulation of all forms of digital representations of assets. Investors may erroneously use blockchain and cryptocurrencies interchangeably, which may result in hesitation to invest in Series’ Interests linked to blockchain. Increased regulation or decreased investment could hinder our ability to purchase Properties or generate returns, and could negatively impact the potential liquidity and value of the Series Interests.

Risk Factors Related to Real Estate Generally

 

We may experience general risks of real estate investing. Factors which could affect the Company’s ownership of income-producing property might include, but are not limited to any or all of the following; changing environmental regulations, adverse use of adjacent or neighboring real estate, changes in the demand for or supply of competing property, local economic factors which could result in the reduction of the fair market value of a property, uninsured losses, significant unforeseen changes in general or local economic conditions, inability of the Company to obtain any required permits or entitlements for a reasonable cost or on reasonable conditions or within a reasonable time frame or at all, inability of the Company to obtain the services of appropriate consultants at the proposed cost, changes in legal requirements for any needed permits or entitlements, problems caused by the presence of environmental hazards on a property, changes in federal or state regulations applicable to real property, failure of a lender to approve a loan on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company, lack of adequate availability of liability insurance or all-risk or other types of required insurance at a commercially-reasonable price, shortages or reductions in available energy, acts of God or other calamities. Furthermore, there could be a loss of liquidity in the capital markets such that a refinance or sale of a property may be hindered.

 

Our Company’s investment in the properties will be additionally subject to the risks and other factors generally incident to the ownership of real property, including such things as the effects of inflation or deflation, inability to control future operating costs, inability to attract tenants, vandalism, rent strikes, collection difficulties, uncertainty of cash flow, the availability and costs of borrowed funds, the general level of real estate values, competition from other properties, residential patterns and uses, general economic conditions (national, regional, and local), the general suitability of a property to its market area, governmental rules and fiscal policies, acts of God, and other factors beyond the control of the Company.

 

We face possible risks associated with natural disasters and the physical effects of climate change, which may include more frequent or severe storms, hurricanes, flooding, rising sea levels, shortages of water, droughts and wildfires, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition. To the extent climate change causes changes in weather patterns, our coastal destinations could experience increases in storm intensity and rising sea-levels causing damage to our properties and result in higher vacancy. Climate change may also affect our business by increasing the cost of, or making unavailable, property insurance on terms we find acceptable in areas most vulnerable to such events, increasing operating costs, including the cost of water or energy, and requiring us to expend funds to repair and protect our properties in connection with such events. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, and financial condition.

 

The underlying value and performance of any real estate asset will fluctuate with general and local economic conditions. The successful operation of any real estate asset is significantly related to general and local economic conditions. Periods of economic slowdown or recession, significantly rising interest rates, declining employment levels, declining real estate values, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, can result in reductions in the underlying value of any asset and result in poor economic performance. In such cases, investors may lose the full value of their investment, or may not experience any distributions from the real estate asset.

 

Rising expenses could reduce cash flow and funds available for future investments. Our properties will be subject to increases in real estate tax rates, utility costs, operating expenses, insurance costs, repairs and maintenance, administrative and other expenses. If we are unable to increase rents at an equal or higher rate or lease properties on a basis that covers all or some of the expenses, we would be required to pay those costs, which could adversely affect funds available for future cash distributions.

 

The market in which the Company participates is competitive and, if it does not compete effectively, its operating results could be harmed. The Company competes with many others engaged in real estate in general, including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds.. This market is competitive and rapidly changing. Significant increases in the number of listings for long-term residential rentals in the geographic areas where the Company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand for long-term rentals, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact to value of the Underlying Asset. The Company expects competition to persist and intensify in the future, which could harm its ability to generate sufficient rental income from its properties or acquire additional properties on terms that investors find to be reasonable.

A rental property could be difficult to sell, which could diminish the return on the Underlying Assets. A rental property may incur losses due to extended periods of vacancy and may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available for distribution to its investors. In addition, the resale value of the Underlying Assets could be diminished if the market value of the Underlying Assets declines, due to a decrease in cash flow generated by property or decline in real estate market values. Such a reduction in the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of investors Series Interests.

 

The Company may decide to sell property which could conflict with an investor’s interests. Our Manager may determine when to sell any property at any time in accordance with the management rights afforded to our Manager. Investors will not have a say in this decision. The timing and decision to sell a property may conflict with investors personal interests, beliefs or theories regarding the real estate market. Further, it is possible the sale was not done at an optimal time. In any case, investors would not have any cause of action against the Company or Manager for such sales.

 

A decline in general economic conditions in the markets in which each property is located or in the United States generally could lead to lower rental rates in those markets. As a result of these trends, the Company may reduce revenue, potentially resulting in losses and lower resale value of properties, which may reduce investor return.

 

Lawsuits may arise between the Company and its tenants resulting in lower cash distributions to investors. Disputes between landlords and tenants are common. These disputes may escalate into legal action from time to time. In the event a lawsuit arises between the Company and a tenant it is likely that the Company will see an increase in costs. Accordingly, cash distributions to investors may be affected.

 

Costs imposed pursuant to governmental laws and regulations may reduce the Company’s net income and the cash available for distributions to its investors. Real property and the operations conducted on real property are subject to federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to protection of the environment and human health. The Company could be subject to liability in the form of fines, penalties or damages for noncompliance with these laws and regulations. These laws and regulations generally govern wastewater discharges, air emissions, the operation and removal of underground and above-ground storage tanks, the use, storage, treatment, transportation and disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the remediation of contamination associated with the release or disposal of solid and hazardous materials, the presence of toxic building materials and other health and safety-related concerns. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on the tenants, owners or operators of real property for the costs to investigate or remediate contaminated properties, regardless of fault, whether the contamination occurred prior to purchase, or whether the acts causing the contamination were legal. Activities of the Company’s tenants, the condition of properties at the time the Company buys them, operations in the vicinity of its properties, such as the presence of underground storage tanks, or activities of unrelated third parties may affect its properties. The presence of hazardous substances, or the failure to properly manage or remediate these substances, may hinder the Company’s ability to sell, rent or pledge such property as collateral for future borrowings. Any material expenditures, fines, penalties or damages the Company must pay will reduce its ability to make distributions and may reduce the value of your investment.

 

The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property or of paying personal injury or other damage claims could reduce the amounts available for distribution to the Company’s investors. Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous real property owner or operator may be liable for the cost of removing or remediating hazardous or toxic substances on, under or in such property. These costs could be substantial. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Environmental laws also may impose liens on property or restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures or prevent us booking the property. Environmental laws provide for sanctions for noncompliance and may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, by private parties. Certain environmental laws and common law principles could be used to impose liability for the release of and exposure to hazardous substances, including asbestos-containing materials and lead-based paint. Third parties may seek recovery from real property owners or operators for personal injury or property damage associated with exposure to released hazardous substances and governments may seek recovery for natural resource damage. The costs of defending against claims of environmental liability, of complying with environmental regulatory requirements, of remediating any contaminated property, or of paying personal injury, property damage or natural resource damage claims could reduce or eliminate the amounts available for distribution to you.

Costs associated with complying with the Americans with Disabilities Act may decrease cash available for distributions. Each Underlying Asset may be subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended, or the ADA. Under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to comply with federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA has separate compliance requirements for “public accommodations” and “commercial facilities” that generally require that buildings and services be made accessible and available to people with disabilities. The ADA’s requirements could require removal of access barriers and could result in the imposition of injunctive relief, monetary penalties or, in some cases, an award of damages. Any funds used for ADA compliance will reduce the Company’s net income and the amount of cash available for distributions to investors.

 

Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce the Company’s cash flows and the return on investment. There are types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, such as losses due to wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, pollution or environmental matters, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Insurance risks associated with potential acts of terrorism could sharply increase the premiums the Company pays for coverage against property and casualty claims. Additionally, to the extent the Company finances the acquisition of an Underlying Asset, mortgage lenders in some cases insist that property owners purchase coverage against flooding as a condition for providing mortgage loans. Such insurance policies may not be available at reasonable costs, which could inhibit the Company’s ability to finance or refinance its properties if so required. In such instances, the Company may be required to provide other financial support, either through financial assurances or self-insurance, to cover potential losses. The Company may not have adequate coverage for such losses. If any of the properties incur a casualty loss that is not fully insured, the value of the assets will be reduced by any such uninsured loss, which may reduce the value of investor interests. In addition, other than any working capital reserve or other reserves the Company may establish, the Company has no additional sources of funding to repair or reconstruct any uninsured property. Also, to the extent the Company must pay unexpectedly large amounts for insurance, it could suffer reduced earnings that would result in lower distributions to investors.

 

We may not have control over costs arising from rehabilitation of properties. We may elect to invest in properties which may require rehabilitation. Consequently, we may retain independent general contractors to perform the actual physical rehabilitation and/or construction work and will be subject to risks in connection with a contractor’s ability to control rehabilitation and/or construction costs, the timing of completion of rehabilitation and/or construction, and a contractor’s ability to build in conformity with plans and specification.

 

The consideration paid for our properties may exceed fair market value, which may harm our financial condition and operating results. The consideration that we pay will be based upon numerous factors, and the properties may be purchased in a negotiated transaction rather than through a competitive bidding process. We cannot assure anyone that the purchase price that we pay for a property or its appraised value will be a fair price, that we will be able to generate an acceptable return on such property, or that the location, lease terms or other relevant economic and financial data of any properties that we invest in will meet acceptable risk profiles. We may also be unable to lease vacant space or renegotiate existing leases at market rates, which would adversely affect our returns on a property. As a result, our investments in our properties may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations, which may substantially harm our operating results and financial condition.

 

The failure of our properties to generate positive cash flow or to sufficiently appreciate in value would most likely preclude our investors from realizing an attractive return on their interest ownership. There is no assurance that our real estate investments will appreciate in value or will ever be sold at a profit. The marketability and value of the properties will depend upon many factors beyond the control of our management. There is no assurance that there will be a ready market for the properties, since investments in real property are generally non-liquid. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand, that are beyond our control. We cannot predict whether we will be able to sell any property for the price or on the terms set by it, or whether any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot predict the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to close the sale of a property. Moreover, we may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. We cannot assure any person that we will have funds available to correct those defects or to make those improvements. In investing in a property, we may agree to lockout provisions that materially restrict us from selling that property for a period of time or impose other restrictions, such as a limitation on the amount of debt that can be placed or repaid on that property. These lockout provisions would restrict our ability to sell a property. These factors and any others that would impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties could significantly harm our financial condition and operating results.

Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition. Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties or investments in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions may be limited. In particular, these risks could arise from weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by sale, other disposition or refinance at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. An exit event is not guaranteed and is subject to our Manager’s discretion.

 

We may experience liability for alleged or actual harm to third parties and costs of litigation. Owning and operating the properties subjects the Company to the risk of lawsuits filed by tenants, past and present employees, contractors, competitors, business partners, and others in the ordinary course of business. As with all legal proceedings, no assurance can be provided as to the outcome of these matters, and legal proceedings can be expensive and time consuming. Our Company may not be successful in the defense or prosecution of these lawsuits, which could result in settlements or damages that could result in substantial Losses to the Company. Even if the Company is successful, there may be substantial costs associated with the legal proceeding, and our Manager may be delayed or prevented from implementing the business plan of the Company.

 

Contractors may underestimate costs. Our Company intends on purchasing properties and rehabbing them in some cases. Our Company will likely hire contractors based on bids received for the cost of the rehab. Our Company may hire a contractor that underestimates the material and labor costs, the property could suffer from cost overruns which could adversely affect investments by investors.

 

Our Company will not realize a profit until individual properties are either cash flow positive or sold. Therefore, if there are cost overruns or multiple unforeseen change orders, the Company may not realize a return on investment which could adversely affect Members’ investments.

 

Title insurance may not cover all title defects. Our Manager will acquire title insurance on each property, but it is possible that uninsured title defects could arise in the future, which the Company may have to defend or otherwise resolve, the cost of which may impact the profitability of each property and/or the Company as a whole.

 

Due diligence may not uncover all material facts. Our Manager, through its Members, will endeavor to obtain and verify material facts regarding the properties. It is possible, however, that our Manager will not discover certain material facts about a property, because information presented by the sellers may have been prepared in an incomplete or misleading fashion, and material facts related to such property may not yet have been discovered.

 

Financial projections may be wrong. Certain financial projections concerning the future performance of the properties are based on assumptions of an arbitrary nature and may prove to be materially incorrect. No assurance is given that actual results will correspond with the results contemplated by these projections. It is possible that returns may be lower than projected, or that there may be no returns at all.

 

These and all other financial projections, and any other statements previously provided to the Purchaser relating to the Company or its prospective business operations that are not historical facts, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Sentences or phrases that use such words as “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “may,” “hopes,” “can,” “will,” “expects,” “is designed to,” “with the intent,” “potential” and others indicate forward-looking statements, but their absence does not mean that a statement is not forward- looking.

Table of Contents

 

Such statements are based on our Manager’s current estimates and expectations, along with currently available competitive, financial, and economic data. However, forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain. A variety of factors could cause business conditions and results to differ materially from what is contained in any such forward-looking statements.

 

It is possible that actual results from operation of the properties will be different than the returns anticipated by our Manager and/or that these returns may not be realized in the timeframe projected by our Manager, if at all.

 

We might obtain lines of credit and other borrowings, which increases our risk of loss due to potential foreclosure. We may obtain lines of credit and long-term financing that may be secured by our assets. As with any liability, there is a risk that we may be unable to repay our obligations from the cash flow of our assets. Therefore, when borrowing and securing such borrowing with our assets, we risk losing such assets in the event we are unable to repay such obligations or meet such demands.

 

We have broad authority to incur debt and high debt levels could hinder our ability to make distributions and decrease the value of our investors’ investments. We may borrow as much as 80% or more of the value of our properties. While our investors will not be personally liable for these obligations, and our Manager may issue personal guarantees that these obligations will be repaid, the Company is ultimately responsible for paying off these debts. High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments and may also be accompanied by restrictive covenants. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of our investors’ investments.

 

Risk Factors Relating to REITS

 

We may elect to have some Series taxed as REITs, for which the following risk factors would apply.

 

The failure of a Series to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT would subject the Series to U.S. federal income tax and potentially state and local tax and would adversely affect the Series’ operations and the market price of the Series’ Interests. We intend for each Series to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with the first full taxable year following the closing of a Series offering and intend to operate such Series in a manner that would allow the Series to continue to qualify as a REIT. However, we may terminate a Series’ REIT qualification, if our Manager determines that not qualifying as a REIT is in the best interests of a Series, or inadvertently. A Series’ qualification as a REIT depends upon its ability to meet, through actual annual operating results, distribution levels, and diversity of stock ownership, the various and complex REIT qualification tests imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, a Series must comply with certain highly technical and complex requirements. We cannot be certain that a Series has complied or will comply with these requirements because there are few judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions. In addition, facts and circumstances that may be beyond our control may affect our ability for each Series to qualify as a REIT. We cannot assure you that new legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to a Series’ qualification as a REIT or with respect to the federal income tax consequences of qualification. We cannot assure you that we will qualify or will remain qualified as a REIT.

 

If a Series fails to qualify as a REIT, it will not be allowed to deduct distributions to investors in computing taxable income and will be subject to federal income tax at regular rates. In addition, the Series may be barred from qualification as a REIT for the four taxable years following disqualification. The additional tax incurred at regular corporate rates would significantly reduce the taxable cash flow available for distribution to investors and for debt service. Furthermore, the Series would no longer be required by the Internal Revenue Code to make any distributions to our investors as a condition of REIT qualification. Any distributions to investors would be taxable as ordinary income to the extent of the Series current and accumulated earnings and profits. Corporate distributees, however, may be eligible for the dividends received deduction on the distributions, subject to limitations under the Internal Revenue Code.

Even if a Series qualifies as a REIT, in certain circumstances, it may incur tax liabilities that would reduce its cash available for distribution to our investors. Even if a Series qualifies and maintains its status as a REIT, it may be subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes. For example, net income from the sale of properties that are “dealer” properties sold by a REIT (a “prohibited transaction” under the Internal Revenue Code) will be subject to a 100% excise tax, and some state and local jurisdictions may tax some or all of our income because not all states and localities treat REITs the same as they are treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes. A Series may not make sufficient distributions to avoid excise taxes applicable to REITs. A Series also may decide to retain net capital gain we earn from the sale or other disposition of our property and pay U.S. federal income tax directly on such income. In that event, our investors would be treated as if they earned that income and paid the tax on it directly. However, investors that are tax-exempt, such as charities or qualified pension plans, would have no benefit from their deemed payment of such tax liability unless they file U.S. federal income tax returns and thereon seek a refund of such tax. A Series also will be subject to corporate tax on any undistributed REIT taxable income. Cash used for paying taxes will not be available for distribution or reinvestment by the Series.

 

The taxation of distributions to our investors can be complex; however, distributions that we make to our investors generally will be taxable as ordinary income or constitute a return of capital, which may reduce your anticipated return from an investment in us. Distributions that a Series makes to our taxable investors out of current and accumulated earnings and profits (and not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income) generally will be taxable as ordinary income. However, a portion of our distributions may (1) constitute a return of capital generally to the extent that they exceed our accumulated earnings and profits as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes, (2) be designated by us as capital gain dividends generally taxable as long-term capital gain to the extent that they are attributable to net capital gain recognized by us, or (3) be designated by us as qualified dividend income generally to the extent they are attributable to dividends we receive from our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”). A return of capital is not taxable, but has the effect of reducing the basis of an investor’s investment in our Series Interests. Due to our investment in real estate, depreciation deductions and interest expense may reduce our earnings and profits in our early years with the result that a large portion of distributions to our investors in early years may constitute a return of capital rather than ordinary income.

 

Dividends payable by REITs generally do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends. Qualified dividend income payable to U.S. investors that are individuals, trusts, and estates is subject to the reduced maximum tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for this reduced rate. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2026, non-corporate taxpayers may deduct up to 20% of certain pass-through business income, including “qualified REIT dividends” (generally, dividends received by a REIT that are not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified income), subject to certain limitations, resulting in an effective maximum federal income tax rate of 29.6% on such income. In addition, individuals, trusts, and estates whose income exceeds certain thresholds are subject to 3.8% Medicare tax on dividends received by us. Although the reduced U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to qualified dividend income does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, the more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts, and estates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the interests of the REITs, including our Series Interests. Tax rates could be changed in future legislation.

 

If a Series were considered to actually or constructively pay a “preferential dividend” to certain of our investors, the Series’ status as a REIT could be adversely affected. In order to qualify as a REIT, a Series must distribute annually to its investors at least 90% of the Series’ REIT taxable income (which does not equal net income, as calculated in accordance with GAAP), determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain. In order for distributions to be counted as satisfying the annual distribution requirements for REITs, and to provide the Series with a REIT-level tax deduction, the distributions must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if the distribution is pro rata among all outstanding interests within a particular class, and in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in our organizational documents. Currently, there is uncertainty as to the IRS’s position regarding whether certain arrangements that REITs have with their investors could give rise to the inadvertent payment of a preferential dividend. While we believe that our operations have been structured in such a manner that we will not be treated as inadvertently paying preferential dividends, there is no de minimis exception with respect to preferential dividends. Therefore, if the IRS were to take the position that a Series inadvertently paid a preferential dividend, the Series may be deemed either to (a) have distributed less than 100% of its REIT taxable income and be subject to tax on the undistributed portion, or (b) have distributed less than 90% of its REIT taxable income and the Series status as a REIT could be terminated for the year in which such determination is made if the Series were unable to cure such failure. If, however, a Series qualifies as a “publicly offered REIT” (within the meaning of Section 562(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) in the future, the preferential dividend rules will cease to apply to us. In addition, the IRS is authorized to provide alternative remedies to cure a failure to comply with the preferential dividend rules, but as of the date hereof, no such authorized procedures have been promulgated.

Complying with REIT requirements may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and may cause us to incur tax liabilities. The REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities. Any income from a hedging transaction we enter into to manage risk of interest rate changes, price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made to acquire or carry real estate assets, if properly identified under applicable Treasury Regulations, does not constitute “gross income” for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, the income from those transactions will likely be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both of the gross income tests. As a result of these rules, we may need to limit our use of advantageous hedging techniques or implement those hedges through a TRS. This could increase the cost of our hedging activities because our TRSs would be subject to tax on gains or expose us to greater risks associated with changes in interest rates than we would otherwise want to bear. In addition, losses in a TRS generally will not provide any tax benefit, except for being carried forward against future taxable income of such TRS.

 

The ability of our Manager to revoke the REIT qualification of a Series without approval may subject a Series to U.S. federal income tax and reduce distributions to our investors. Our Operating Agreement provides that our Manager may revoke or otherwise terminate a Series’ REIT election, without the approval of our investors, if it determines that it is no longer in a Series’ best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. While we intend for each Series to elect and qualify to be taxed as a REIT, a Series may not elect to be treated as a REIT or may terminate its REIT election if we determine that qualifying as a REIT is no longer in the best interests of our investors. If a Series ceases to be a REIT, it would become subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of its taxable income to our investors, which may have adverse consequences on the total return to our investors and on the market price of the Series’ interests.

 

Legislative or regulatory action with respect to tax laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company and our investors. On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, informally titled the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or the TCJA, was enacted. The TCJA made major changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including a number of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that affect the taxation of REITs and their investors. The long-term effect of the significant changes made by the TCJA remains uncertain, and additional administrative guidance will be required in order to fully evaluate the effect of many provisions. The effect of technical corrections with respect to the TCJA could have an adverse effect on the Company and our investors. We are also subject to state and local tax laws and regulations. Changes in state and local tax laws or regulations may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income. These increased costs could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends.

 

In addition, in recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the federal income tax laws applicable to investments in REITs and similar entities. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure our investors that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of an. We cannot assure you that future changes to tax laws and regulations will not have an adverse effect on an investment in our Series Interests.

 

You are urged to consult with your tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation on your investment in our Series Interests and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on an investment in our Series Interests.

Although REITs generally receive better tax treatment than entities taxed as regular corporations, it is possible that future legislation would result in a REIT having fewer tax advantages, and it could become more advantageous for a company that invests in real estate to elect to be treated for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a corporation. As a result, the operating agreement provides our Manager with the power, under certain circumstances, to revoke or otherwise terminate a Series’ REIT election and cause such Series to be taxed as a regular corporation, without the vote of our investors. Our Manager could only cause such changes in a Series’ tax treatment if it determines in good faith that such changes are in the best interest of the Series’ investors.

 

The ownership restrictions of the Internal Revenue Code for REITs and the 9.8% ownership limit in the operating agreement may inhibit market activity in our Series Interests and restrict our business combination opportunities The Internal Revenue Code imposes certain limitations on the ownership of the stock of a REIT. For example, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding interests of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) during the last half of any taxable year. To protect a Series’ REIT status, the operating agreement prohibits any holder from acquiring more than 9.8% (in value or number of interests, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of the outstanding total capital stock of a Series or more than 9.8% (in value or number of interests, whichever is more restrictive) of our Series Interests or any class or Series of the outstanding interests unless our Manager determines that it is no longer in a Series’ best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with the restriction is no longer required in order for the Series to continue to so qualify as a REIT. The ownership limitation may limit the opportunity for investors to receive a premium for their interests that might otherwise exist if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of interests in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding interests or otherwise effect a change in control.

 

Potential characterization of distributions or gain on sale may be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt investors. If (a) we are a “pension-held REIT,” (b) a tax-exempt entity has incurred (or deemed to have incurred) debt to purchase or hold our Series Interests, or (c) a holder of our Series Interests is a certain type of tax-exempt entity, dividends on, and gains recognized on the sale of, our Series Interests by such tax-exempt entity may be subject to U.S. federal income tax as unrelated business taxable income under the Internal Revenue Code.

 

We rely on our Transfer Agent to safeguard our investor records. Our Transfer Agent is responsible for maintaining accurate records regarding ownership of Series Interests. In the event of a discrepancy between a Token and the Transfer Agent’s records, the Transfer Agent’s records will prevail. We are thus reliant on our Transfer Agent to have adequate policies, procedures, and controls, security protocols, and account reconciliation processes. Any failure of our Transfer Agent to accurately record Series Interest transfers, whether by negligence or intentional theft or misappropriation, could have a material negative impact on investors. Investors are also required to follow rules and procedures established in our operating agreement and by our Transfer Agent to record transfers of Series Interests, including the payment of fees. A failure to follow such procedures could result in an investor’s interest not being properly recorded in the Transfer Agent’s records.

 

SPECIAL INFORMATION REGARDING FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Some of the statements in this Offering Circular are “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, the factors set forth above under “Risk Factors.” The words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “will,” “plan,” and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements.

 

We undertake no obligation to update and revise any forward-looking statements or to publicly announce the result of any revisions to any of the forward-looking statements in this document to reflect any future or developments. However, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 is not available to us as a non-reporting issuer. Further, Section 27A(b)(2)(D) of the Securities Act and Section 21E(b)(2)(D) of the Exchange Act expressly state that the safe harbor for forward looking statements does not apply to statements made in connection with an initial public offering.

 

DILUTION

 

Dilution means a reduction in value, control, or earnings of the units the investor owns.

 

As of the date of this Offering Circular, Tirios Corporation owns 100% of the Company’s membership interests. Those membership interests are not connected to any specific Series Interest. Investors in this offering will be acquiring Series Interests of a Series of the Company, the economic rights of each Series Interest will be based on the corresponding Underlying Asset of that Series. As such, investors are not expected to experience dilution except as a result of the sale of additional Series Interests of the Series to which they have subscribed, which sales are expected to include sales to our Manager at the same price as sales to investors.

 

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are offering, on a best-efforts basis, Series Interests of each of the open Series of the Company in the “Series Offering Table” herein.

 

 
24

Table of Contents

 

The sale of Series Interests for a Series will commence when the Offering Circular initially including the Series in the Series Offering Table, as amended, is qualified by the SEC. The termination of an offering for a Series will occur on the earliest to occur of (i) the date subscriptions for the maximum number of Series Interests offered for a Series have been accepted or (ii) a date determined by our Manager in its sole discretion. The Company intends to create additional Series that may be added to this offering only upon qualification of an amendment to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part. The offering of Series Interests pursuant to the Offering Statement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date at which the maximum offering amount of all Series Interests has been sold, (ii) the date which is three years from the date such Offering Circular or amendment thereof, as applicable, is qualified by the Commission, or (iii) any date on which our Manager elects to terminate this offering in its sole discretion.

 

The Company may, in its sole discretion, undertake one or more closings on a rolling basis, and intends to effect a close at least every 30 days or less, as determined by our Manager. After each closing, funds tendered by investors will be available to the Company and the Company will issue the Series Interests to investors. An investor will become a Member of a Series, including for tax purposes, and the Series Interests will be issued, as of the date of settlement. Settlement will not occur until an investor’s funds have cleared and the Company accepts the investor as a Member. Not all investors will receive their Series Interests on the same date.

 

Use of Blockchain

  

A blockchain is an open, distributed ledger that records transactions between two parties in a verifiable and permanent way using cryptography. Transactions on the blockchain are permanently recorded on the blockchain in collections of transactions called “blocks.” Blockchain networks are based upon software source code that establishes and governs their respective cryptographic systems for verifying transactions.

 

Series Interests maintained on Blockchain as a digital courtesy copy; no investment in cryptocurrencies

 

Although the Company’s Transfer Agent will maintain the official ownership records of the Series Interests in book form, the ownership of the Series Interests will also be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain as a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests. The Company will not invest in any cryptocurrencies (referred to as, among other things, virtual currencies).

 

A Member will be deemed the record holder with respect to a Series Interest as of any date only if, as of such date, such Series Interest is recorded with the Transfer Agent in book form. The Company will maintain a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests on Blockchain as a Token, which is maintained for recordkeeping purposes of the Company. The Company will reconcile and validate the Blockchain against the Transfer’s Agents book form records on a daily basis to ensure the records remain synchronized. This applies to new issuances of Tokens as well as transfers from existing Token owners. This process will also ensure that the Tokens remain stapled to the underlying Series Interests, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and the blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

  

A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Series Interests held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a record holder of the corresponding number of Series Interests. For these purposes, the Company and our Manager shall rely on the information recorded on book entry form with Transfer Agent, and on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and the blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

 

Series Interests in a particular Series will be represented by tokens as a digital courtesy copy on the Tirios blockchain (each a “Token” and collectively, “Tokens”). The Tirios blockchain refers to a dedicated channel of the Manager’s permissioned Hyperledger blockchain network created and managed using the Hyperledger Fabric framework.

 

A Token will be an encrypted digital asset created on the Tirios Blockchain which, when issued and delivered pursuant to and in compliance with our Operating Agreement, will constitute a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests represented thereby. A ledger of holdings of Tokens (the “Blockchain Token Ledger”) will be recorded on the Tirios blockchain. The primary source of Series Interests holdings will be maintained by Transfer Agent in book form, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and digital courtesy copy maintained on the blockchain and, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

 

Tokens represent a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests maintained on the blockchain, and there is no value attributable to the Token in absence of the Series Interests, and it can’t be transferred or sold without the underlying Series Interests. There are no additional legal rights, economic rights or otherwise available to a Series Interest Member as a result of Company maintaining a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests on Blockchain, therefore Token has no value independent of the Series Interests. If a Series Interest Member transfers their Series Interest, the digital courtesy copy represented by the Token will also be transferred. Each Member receives only those rights associated with the particular Series in which they invest.

 

Please refer to Risks Related to Tokenization and Blockchain for additional practical and legal risks including risks related to potential liquidity, impact on value of the Series Interests and unproven technology, which would not exist if no blockchain technology was used by the Company.

 

Tokens are not considered by the Company to be cryptocurrency, as there is no value independent of the Series Interests and can’t traded, sold, used to purchase items, or be used for any other purpose. Tokens are not considered by the Company to be securities because there is no expectation of profit from the Tokens alone (separate and apart from the underlying Series Interest), and they cannot be purchased, sold, or traded separate from the Series Interests.

Table of Contents

 

Each token represents one Series Interest and can’t be subdivided. Only a whole Series Interest can be issued or transferred. Only a whole Token, as a digital courtesy copy representing one Series Interest, can be issued or transferred. The number of tokens outstanding would be equal to the number of Series Interests offered. Please see the section titled “Subscription Procedure” for more information on how the regular updates are shared with Subscribers.

 

The Series Interests are not available for transfer, purchase, or sale from one Series Interests holder to another Series Interests holder (“peer-to-peer”) on the blockchain or in any secondary trading market.  The Company believes that blockchain-based Series Interests will provide increased transparency to Series Interests holders and may, in the future, permit reduced settlement times and provide other benefits to them.

  

Furthermore, in the future, the Series Interests may be available for purchase, sale or transfer from one Member to another Member (or potential Member) in a secondary trading market or on the blockchain. The Company has no current agreement to make its Series Interests or Tokens available for trading in the secondary market but may enter into such an agreement in the future. These features are not currently, and may never be, available to investors. These features would be subject to then-existing regulations, regulatory interpretations, and regulatory approvals that apply to securities.

 

There are additional risks associated with the issuance, redemption, transfer, custody and record keeping of Series Interests or Tokens maintained and recorded on a blockchain. For example, Series Interests that are issued using blockchain technology would be subject to the many risks as covered under Risks Related to Tokenization and Blockchain.

 

Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain

 

Hyperledger Fabric is an open source, permissioned blockchain framework, started in 2015 by The Linux Foundation. It is a modular, general-purpose framework that offers unique access control features, which make it suitable for a variety of industry applications such as track-and-trace of supply chains, trade finance, loyalty and rewards, as well as clearing and settlement of financial assets.

 

Our Manager is responsible for maintaining all the nodes of the Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain network where the Tokens are recorded. There are no transaction fees or gas fees involved for processing transactions on this network. All costs for maintaining and operating the infrastructure are borne by our Manager. Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned Blockchain network, hence no new nodes for this Blockchain can be hosted without explicit consent from our Manager. Members have access to the Platform which interacts with the Blockchain network. The Members can access the financial information in the Platform in .PDF form based on the information in book form and the same information from the Platform in the blockchain form. There are no external third parties or relevant agreements associated with maintaining and operating the Blockchain network.

  

A Token is an encrypted digital asset created on the Tirios Blockchain which, when issued and delivered pursuant to and in compliance with our Operating Agreement, will constitute a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests represented thereby. Smart contact used to create Token is a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests, and thereby doesn’t grant any additional legal rights, economic rights or otherwise to the Series Interests Member.

 

The smart contract used is an extension of the ERC-721 standards. ERC-721 is a standard interface for non-fungible tokens, also known as deeds. ERC-721 provides basic functionality to track and transfer tokens.

 

As an extension of ERC-721, the smart contract used by Tirios is running on Hyperledger Fabric and is able of minting new property tokens i.e. create tokens for a newly acquired assets, can calculate and allocate income based on ownership dates, effectively creating a digital courtesy copy of the holdings and transactions for Series Interests.

  

Note that the ERC-721 provides the technical framework for the smart contract, but the material terms and conditions contained within that framework derive from the Company’s Operating Agreement and Subscription Agreement. See Exhibits 2.2 and 4.1.

 

Primary benefits of Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain

 

Open Source - Hyperledger Fabric platform is an open source blockchain framework hosted by The Linux Foundation. It has an active and growing community of developers.

Table of Contents

 

Permissioned - Fabric networks are permissioned, meaning all participating Member’s identities are authenticated. This benefit is particularly useful in industries including healthcare, supply chain, banking, and insurance where data cannot be exposed to unknown entities. 

 

Governance and Access Control - Each transaction on the blockchain network is executed on a channel, where each party must be authenticated and authorized to transact on that channel.

 

Performance - Hyperledger Fabric is built to support enterprise-grade use cases, and can support quick transaction throughput from its consensus mechanism. Because Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned blockchain framework, it does not need to solve for Byzantine Fault tolerance. Byzantine Fault occurs where components may fail and there is imperfect information on whether a component has failed that can cause slower performance when validating transactions on the network.

 

Hyperledger Fabric blockchain is a scalable solution to be able to process millions of transactions with our current infrastructure. There are studies available in the public domain where 20000 transactions/second were processed on Hyperledger Fabric Blockchain in a controlled environment. In case required, the architecture can further be improved by batching transactions before being sent to the Blockchain by making use of a queuing solution.

 

Wallet and access

 

A blockchain wallet is created in the Platform for the Member after KYC and AML checks are completed. Blockchain wallet and public key for the wallet can be accessed in the Platform by the Member. In case the Subscriber forgets the password for investment platform, they can reset their password using the form available during the login process using their email. In case the Subscriber loses access to their email account, which was used during the account creation process, they are instructed to contact our team at members@tirios.ai and validate their identity to reset the investment platform access for them. Once they gain access to the investment platform again, they can access their public key.

 

The Company maintains all records in book form with the Transfer Agent and Token acts as a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests on the blockchain. The Company and Manager have access to Subscriber wallet and can freeze the tokens or block any transactions on blockchain to comply with the requirements of a regulatory mandate or a court order.

AML is used to cross check an individual’s name against a number of global watch lists to verify that the person isn’t a wanted person. This check will work for both U.S. persons and non-U.S. persons. If an individual fails this check, this means that this person’s name was at least a 90% match with a name on a watch list and a government issued photo ID needs to be collected to verify as pass or fail.

As compensation for the services listed above, the Company has agreed to pay Dalmore a commission equal to 1% of the amount raised in the offering to support the offering on all newly invested funds after the issuance of a No Objection Letter by FINRA. In addition, our Manager has paid Dalmore a $5,000 one-time advance expense allowance to cover reasonable out-of-pocket accountable expenses actually anticipated to be incurred by Dalmore in connection with this offering.

We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason, including if we determine in our sole and absolute discretion that such investor is not a “qualified purchaser” for purposes of Regulation A.

For an individual potential investor to be an “accredited investor” for purposes of satisfying one of the tests in the “qualified purchaser” definition, the investor must be a natural person who has:

 

1. an individual net worth, or joint net worth with the person’s spouse, that exceeds $1,000,000 at the time of the purchase, excluding the value of the primary residence of such person and the mortgage on that primary residence (to the extent not negative equity), but including the amount of debt that exceeds the value of that residence and including any increase in debt on that residence within the prior 60 days, other than as a result of the acquisition of that primary residence; or

 

2. earned income exceeding $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with a spouse exceeding $300,000 for those years and a reasonable expectation of the same income level in the current year.

 

If the investor is not a natural person, different standards apply. See Rule 501 of Regulation D for more details. For purposes of determining whether a potential investor is a “qualified purchaser,” annual income and net worth should be calculated as provided in the “accredited investor” definition under Rule 501 of Regulation D.

We will be permitted to make a determination that the Subscribers of interests in this offering are qualified purchasers in reliance on the information and representations provided by the Subscriber regarding the Subscriber’s financial situation. Before making any representation that your investment does not exceed applicable federal thresholds, we encourage you to review Rule 251(d)(2)(i)(C) of Regulation A. For general information on investing, we encourage you to refer to http://www.investor.gov. We may accept or reject any subscription, in whole or in part, for any reason or no reason at all.

Subscription Procedure

  

Our Manager will provide certain technology services to us in connection with this offering, including providing the online subscription processing Platform. After the qualification by the SEC of the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular is a part, this offering will be conducted online through our Manager’s Platform at www.tirios.ai, whereby investors will review and complete online subscription agreements and make payment of the purchase price through a third-party processor to an account we designate.

 

The Platform provides “back-end” functionality for processing subscription and payments. It is not an ATS or broker-dealer, nor is it seeking to be so since its functions are not those of a broker-dealer as set out in the Commission’s proposed exemptive order of  October 2020.  In particular we note that the Platform does not solicit potential investors or receive transaction based fees. The information on the Company’s internet offering page, while using the Platform’s technology, is under the control of the Company and is not presented as a communication by the investment platform. We further note that the Platform is operational.

 

After the Offering Statement, as amended, has been qualified by the Commission, the Company will accept tenders of funds to purchase the Series Interests. Members will be required to complete a subscription agreement in order to invest.

 

The process each prospective Subscriber must follow to subscribe for the Series Interests is as follows:

 

 

1.

Subscriber creates an account with the Platform at www.tirios.ai. A welcome email is sent to Subscriber.

 

 

 

 

2.

We send the information received from the profile through API (“Application Programming Interface”) to North Capital to complete a KYC and AML check. North Capital’s dashboard is configured to provide access to our Broker-Dealer who reviews the investor information including KYC, performs AML and other compliance background checks and provides a recommendation to the Company whether or not to accept a Subscriber. If KYC and AML are passed, no further action from the Subscriber is required. A blockchain wallet is created for the Subscriber at this time and the public keys for the wallet are available to the Subscriber in the Platform. In case KYC and/ or AML are not passed, our team contacts the Subscriber to submit additional information as needed. An update email is sent to Subscribers confirming the receipt of information and informing them about any additional steps that may be required.

 

 

 

 

3.

Subscriber can review details about open Series on the platform.

 

 

 

 

4.

Subscriber clicks on “Request Tokens” for the desired Series. A confirmation email is sent to Subscriber indicating that request was received.

 

 

 

 

5.

Subscriber is presented with the option to review and electronically sign the Subscription Agreement. The Company uses a service provided by DocuSign, Inc. (“Docusign”), which offers eSignature technology to sign documents electronically.

 

 

 

 

6.

Subscriber is then directed to payments page to make the payment for the purchase. The Company accepts ACH payments in USD. We do not accept payments in crypto, credit card, wire, or check. The Company uses Stripe Inc. (“Stripe”), for processing such payments, and our Manager pays all fees, which are 0.8% per ACH transfer with a $5.00 cap. Stripe is a software company that provides online payment processing. Pursuant to Stripe’s terms of service, either the Company or Stripe may terminate service at any time. A confirmation email is sent to Subscribers that payment processing is underway. See Exhibit 6.10 for the Stripe Services Agreement.

 

 

 

 

7.

ACH Payment typically takes 3 - 5 days to clear. Once the payment is cleared, an email is sent to Subscriber with an update that payment was successful. In case the payment does not clear, the Investor is requested to make payment again within 7 days, failing to do so results in cancellation of subscription. A Subscriber can also see the payment status on the Platform.

 

 

 

 

8.

Once the payment is cleared, a trade is created by the Company in the North Capital dashboard using API which identifies all the required details, including Subscriber details, status of KYC and AML for the Subscriber, status of payment, and number of Series Interests subscribed. North Capital dashboard is configured to provide access to our Broker-Dealer, and Transfer Agent, who completes their own confirmation or checks before recommending the approval and recording of the Series Interests in book entry form.

 

 

 

 

9.

Once all checks from Broker-Dealer are confirmed and Series Interests are recorded in book entry form by Transfer Agent, we create a digital courtesy copy of Series Interests for recordkeeping purposes of the Company on Blockchain by issuing Tokens. This process is completed at the end of every working day to confirm the book-form and blockchain records are in sync, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and the blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

 

 

 

 

10.

Subscribers are provided with quarterly financial performance. This information is accessible in Platform for review in pdf format or on blockchain, which is maintained by the Company in book form and as digital courtesy copy on blockchain. Financial information includes rent, property taxes, insurance, etc.

 

The Company may ask an investor to provide identification or accreditation proof documents before accepting the subscription.

 

We reserve the right to reject any investor’s subscription in whole or in part for any reason. If the offering terminates or if any prospective investor’s subscription is rejected, all funds received from such investors will be returned without interest or deduction. Further, pursuant to the applicable Series Interest subscription agreement, the subscriptions are irrevocable by the investor.

 

In the interest of allowing interested investors as much time as possible to complete the paperwork associated with a subscription, the Company has not set a maximum period of time to decide whether to accept or reject a subscription. If a subscription is rejected, funds will be returned to Subscribers within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest.

Table of Contents

 

We share regular updates with Members through emails every step along the way. This includes updates when subscription document is executed, when ACH payment is made, when payment is complete, update on progress of the offering, amount of proceeds raised, etc. All these updates are also available to Members by logging in their Platform account.

 

Neither the Company nor the Manager are a registered broker-dealer, an investment adviser, or a funding portal. The Company and the Manager do not participate in securities offerings made in reliance on Securities Act Section 4(a)(6) and Regulation Crowdfunding. Neither the Company nor the Manager will make any sales prior to the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part.

 

This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors upon their request via electronic PDF format and will be available for viewing and download from the Tirios Platform, as well as on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

 

Transferability of the Series Interests

 

All Series Interests will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any national securities exchange. We expect that after a Series’ Offering has concluded, the Secondary Trading Platform will be a venue available for the potential resale of such Series’ Shares through the Broker Dealer, as a broker dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, such resale of a Series’ Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Series Interests will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Series Interests to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Series Interests indefinitely.

 

The Secondary Trading Platform is only available on the Tirios Platform and prospective Subscribers must create an account before being permitted to access the Secondary Trading Platform.

 

The Manager may withhold a transfer consent in its sole discretion, including if the Manager determines that such transfer, assignment or pledge will result in any restrictions covered under the Section “Securities being Offered – General Restrictions on Transfer”.

 

Given the limited liquidity for the Series Interests, investors and potential investors may consider these investments to be less appealing and may impact the demand for these investments, which may adversely affect prices you may obtain on the Secondary Trading Platform or your ability to resell your Series Interests on the Secondary Trading Platform at all.

 

Procedure for Transfer or Secondary Trading

 

Our Manager will provide certain technology services to us to facilitate Transfers or Secondary Trading. The transfers or secondary trading for Series Interests will be conducted online through our Manager’s Platform at www.tirios.ai, whereby Members looking to sell their Series Interests and Members looking to purchase secondary Series Interests can transact. Platform makes it convenient to generate an online transfer request to be executed by transacting Members and complete the transfer of funds in the transaction through a third-party processor (Stripe). The Platform provides “back-end” functionality for processing secondary transfers and payments.

 

After the Company has received necessary regulatory approvals, the Company will enable Secondary Transfer functionality to accept transfer requests. Each Member or prospective Subscriber must follow the following process to transact in the Secondary Trading for the Series Interests:

 

1. A Member would put their holdings for sale in the Secondary Trading section of the Platform. A confirmation email is sent to Member. A sell order is created by the Company in the North Capital dashboard using API which identifies all the required details, including Subscriber details, and number of Series Interests.

 

2. A new Subscriber interested in purchasing Series Interests in secondary trading creates an account with the Platform at www.tirios.ai. A welcome email is sent to Subscriber.

 

3. We send the information received from the profile through API to North Capital to complete a KYC and AML check. North Capital’s dashboard is configured to provide access to our Broker-Dealer who reviews the investor information including KYC, performs AML and other compliance background checks and provides a recommendation to the Company whether or not to accept a Subscriber. If KYC and AML are passed, no further action from the Subscriber is required. A blockchain wallet is created for the newly joined Subscriber at this time and the public keys for the wallet are available to the Subscriber in the Platform. In case KYC and/ or AML are not passed, our team contacts the Subscriber to submit additional information as needed. An update email is sent to Subscribers confirming the receipt of information and informing them about any additional steps that may be required.

 

4. Existing Subscribers or a newly joined Subscriber can review details about Series Interests available for purchase through Secondary Trading section of the Platform.

 

5. Subscriber clicks on “Purchase Tokens” for the desired Series Interests. A confirmation email is sent to the Subscriber indicating that request was received.

  

6. Subscriber is then directed to payments page to make the payment for the purchase. The Company accepts ACH payments in USD. We do not accept payments in crypto, credit card, wire, or check. The Company uses Stripe, for processing such payments, and our Manager pays all fees. A confirmation email is sent to Subscribers that payment processing is underway.

 

7. ACH Payment typically takes 3 – 5 days to clear. Once the payment is cleared, an email is sent to Subscriber with an update that payment was successful. In case the payment does not clear, the Investor is requested to make payment again within 7 days, failing to do so results in cancellation of subscription. A Subscriber can also see the payment status on the Platform.

 

8. While the payment is being processed, the Company reviews the transfer request. The Company may ask a Subscriber to provide identification, accreditation or other proof documents before approving the Transfer. The Company will generally review, approve or reject the transfer request within 15 business days from the date payment is initiated by the Subscriber for purchase, provided the payment is cleared and Subscriber has provided all requested identification or other proof documents. In case the Subscriber does not respond or provide identification or requested proof of documents within 7 days from the date of such request, purchase request will be cancelled. A Subscriber can also see the payment and transfer status on the Platform. If a transfer request is rejected, funds for purchase will be returned to Subscriber within 30 days of such rejection without deduction or interest.

 

The Manager may withhold a transfer consent in its sole discretion, including if the Manager determines that such transfer, assignment or pledge will result in any restrictions covered under the Section “Securities being offered – General Restrictions on Transfer”.

 

9. Once the payment is cleared and a consent for transfer is approved by Manager, a purchase order is created by the Company in the North Capital dashboard using API which identifies all the required details, including Subscriber details, status of KYC and AML for the Subscriber, status of payment, and number of Series Interests. North Capital PPEX system matches the sell and purchase order to create a trade. North Capital PPEX ATS dashboard is configured to provide access to North Capital PPEX team acting as Broker-Dealer, and Transfer Agent, who completes their own confirmation or checks before recommending the approval and recording of the Series Interests in book entry form.

 

10. Once all checks from the North Capital PPEX team are confirmed and Series Interests are recorded in book entry form by Transfer Agent, then we create the transfer for Tokens which represent the digital courtesy copy of Series Interests for recordkeeping purposes of the Company on Blockchain. The record date for Secondary Transfers is the date the payment is cleared, both for entry in book form and on Blockchain. This process is completed at the end of every working day to confirm the book-form and blockchain records are in sync, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and the blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

 

11. New Subscribers are provided with quarterly financial performance. This information is accessible in the Platform for review in pdf format or on blockchain, which is maintained by the Company in book form and as a digital courtesy copy on blockchain. Financial information includes rent, property taxes, insurance, etc. The distributions for Series Interests that transact on Secondary Trading are made on a pro-rata basis based on number of days. For example, if the record date for Secondary Transfer is February 28, the distribution related to calendar quarter ending March 31st would be pro-rated between the seller from January 1st to February 28th and for the buyer from March 1st to March 31st.

 

We share regular updates with transacting Members through emails every step along the way. This includes updates when a sell or purchase order is created, when ACH payment is made, when payment is complete, update when transfer is confirmed, or if any additional information is required, etc. All these updates are also available to Members by logging in their Platform account.

 

Neither the Company nor the Manager will make any secondary transfers prior to the qualification of the offering statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part. This Offering Circular will be furnished to prospective investors upon their request via electronic PDF format and will be available for viewing and download from the Tirios Platform, as well as on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Entries maintained by Transfer Agent in book form will be synchronized with the holdings maintained on the Tirios Blockchain Ledger. The use of blockchain technology is untested for issuing Series Interests, and in the event of a conflict between the blockchain record and the record held by the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

Selling Security holders

 

No securities are being sold for the account of security holders; all net proceeds of this offering will go to the Company.

 

Forum Selection Provision

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering includes a forum selection provision that requires any claims against the Company based on the Agreement to be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of or based upon the Agreement, excluding any claims under federal securities laws. Although the Company believes the provision benefits us by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies and in limiting the Company’s litigation costs, to the extent it is enforceable, the forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims. The Company has adopted the provision to limit the time and expense incurred by its management to challenge any such claims. As a company with a small management team, this provision allows its officers to not lose a significant amount of time travelling to various forums so they may continue to focus on operations of the Company.

 

Jury Trial Waiver

 

The Subscription Agreement that investors will execute in connection with the offering provides that Subscribers waive the right to a jury trial of any claim they may have against us arising out of or relating to the Agreement, excluding any claim under federal securities laws. By signing the Subscription Agreement, an investor will warrant that the investor has reviewed this waiver with the investor’s legal counsel, and knowingly and voluntarily waives his or her jury trial rights following consultation with the investor’s legal counsel. If the Company opposed a jury trial demand based on the waiver, a court would determine whether the waiver was enforceable given the facts and circumstances of that case in accordance with applicable case law.

USE OF PROCEEDS

 

General

 

The allocation of the use of proceeds among the categories of anticipated expenditures represents management’s best estimates based on the current status of each Series’ proposed operations, plans, investment objectives, capital requirements, and financial conditions. Future events, including changes in economic or competitive conditions of our business plan or the completion of less than the total offering, may cause one or more Series to modify the below-described allocations of proceeds. The Company’s use of proceeds may vary significantly in the event any of the Company’s assumptions prove inaccurate. Each Series reserves the right to change the allocation of net proceeds from the offering as unanticipated events or opportunities arise, but such modifications will be limited to that particular Series.

DESCRIPTION OF BUISNESS

 

Overview

 

The Company was formed on April 13, 2023, as a Delaware series limited liability company. The Company intends to acquire single-family properties with the intent of producing income under long-term leases of six months or more. The Company will establish a separate Series for each Underlying Asset. Notably, the debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series of the Company are intended to be enforceable against the assets of the applicable Series only, and not against the assets of the Company or its other Series.

  

We are currently wholly owned by our Manager, Tirios Corporation. Our Manager will also act as the manager for each Series and is expected to purchase 1%-20% of the Series Interests of each Series, although such ownership may be more or less as determined in our Manager’s sole discretion. Our Manager also owns and operates www.tirios.ai, an investment platform that provides both direct access and opportunity to individual investors to invest in fractional ownership of single-family income-producing properties of a size or quality that might otherwise be unavailable to individual investors.

 

We intend that each Series will be taxed either as a partnership or a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT), as determined in our Manager’s sole discretion. The taxation election of each Series will be listed in the Series Offering Table.  

 

Acquisition Process

 

Generally, acquisitions will be negotiated and arranged by our Manager or its affiliates. Properties may be acquired by the Series designated to hold the Underlying Asset or by Tirios Corporation or one of its affiliates. The Company will then raise the equity needed to acquire and get the property ready for market and obtain a loan to finance a portion of such activities.

 

If our Manager or one of its affiliates purchases an Underlying Asset directly, then, after the relevant Series has obtained sufficient financing, it will sell the Underlying Asset to that Series for an amount equal to the original purchase price (including closing costs) plus holding costs, renovation and other related costs incurred prior to the sale to the Series as well as the fees due our Manager related to the Underlying Asset.

 

In cases where the Series purchases an Underlying Asset directly from a third-party seller, it will use the proceeds of the offering for that Series to purchase the Underlying our Manager or an affiliate may provide a loan to the Series to finance all or part of the purchase price of the Underlying Asset that would be repaid without interest from the proceeds of the offering.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, or Manager intends to invest in and own Series Interests at the same price as that offered to investors. It will do so by advancing money and the leaving some money in the deal and seeking reimbursement for the remaining amount or by investing directly into the offering.

 

Plan of Operations

 

Our investment strategy is to source and acquire single-family homes, lease them to suitable tenants on long-term leases, and manage and operate these rentals.  We will focus primarily on acquiring market-ready properties, including newly constructed properties, in neighborhoods with strong rental demand and in geographic locations that provide stable income and long-term appreciation and growth. Our acquisition strategy does not include significant rehabilitation projects. We intend to hold our properties for 7 to 10 years.

 

We will leverage our Manager’s industry expertise, as well as its proprietary technology to source, analyze, and underwrite properties that meet our investment objectives and to manage these rentals on an efficient basis. Our Manager will serve as the property manager for each of our properties.

 

As discussed below, we can achieve our investment objective by leveraging strong tailwinds and carefully navigating any headwinds in the business.

Table of Contents

 

·

Early stages in evolving segment: Until recently, the single-family home rental market has been highly fragmented5, comprised primarily of private and individual property investors in local markets, and there have been very few large-scale, national market owners/operators due primarily to the challenge of efficiently scaling the acquisition and management of many individual homes. The Company believes there is a unique opportunity to acquire homes at attractive prices and intends to leverage its management team's expertise and experience in rapidly building an institutional-quality, professionally managed business.

 

 

·

Improve customer rental experience: The Company believes it will be able to set a high watermark for the industry by being responsive and caring about the well-being of the tenants.

 

 

·

Work from home and impact of COVID-19: COVID-19 has accelerated the move to the suburbs as permanent work-from-home arrangements are reverberating across the industry, increasing the demand for single-family rental homes.

 

 

·

Demographic changes: Population growth will add millions of new rental households6 over the next decade. Single-family homes offer a good solution for millennials starting families and looking to move into larger spaces.

 

 

·

Home affordability: We believe that affordability continues to be the biggest impediment to home ownership7 and with home prices rising faster than wages in some of the locations where we are investing8, and the existence of high levels of student debt9, rental remains a viable and, at times, the only option for many households. We believe that single-family home rentals contribute to the solution to the housing affordability problem by helping individuals and families live in great neighborhoods without the cost of homeownership.

 

 

·

Significantly less maintenance required: We intend to source higher quality properties, including newly built homes that are generally covered by a builder's warranty for 10 years for all building defects and two years for all household appliances, which typically results in higher customer satisfaction and higher investment returns in the long run.

 

 

·

Restricted supply: Inadequate housing supply at affordable levels is a significant challenge likely facing the housing market for years to come, which is projected to keep the rental demand high10.

 

 

·

Recession watch: Affordability and homeownership are likely to decrease in the case of an economic downturn, which generally benefits rental demand.

 

 

·

Debt financing: We believe that debt financing of Single-Family rental homes presents some challenges due to the status of single-family homes as an emerging asset class at institutional levels and is currently less prevalent among lenders. It is reasonable to believe that as the single-family rental asset class matures, lower volatility could allow securitizations and result in lower financing rates.

 

 

·

Increase in homeownership rate: Steep increase in homeownership rates (although less likely based on historical trends) may slow down the growth in demand for rental properties; however, we believe that the current customer base of more than 25 million renters in the United States is large enough that such increase in homeownership should have a minimal adverse impact for the Company and the industry.

                                                                   

5 According to Freddie Mac report on Single-Family Rentals, less than 2% of Single-Family Rentals are currently owned by institutional investors.

6 Joint Center for Housing Studies, Harvard University forecasts that increase in population will result in 4.2 million additional renter households by 2028 and 8.1 million additional renter households by 2038.

7 According to Freddie Mac survey, more than 60% of respondents say than affording the down payment is biggest challenge to home ownership.

8 One of analytic drive metrics used by Managing Member to shortlist locations across the U.S.

According to a Federal Reserve paper, student debt impacts home affordability and negatively impacts the home ownership rate, resulting in 80 percent of millennials reporting that their student loan debt is delaying them from buying a home.  The paper states that with tuition rates continuing to rise, students will need to borrow more in the future, leading to increased debt levels that could continue to depress homeownership rates.

 

10 Freddie Mac insight estimates approx. 1.6 million new housing units are required annually, about 30% more than current supply run-rate just to keep up, without addressing the pent-up shortage of 5 million plus units accumulated over the last decade according to CNBC.

Table of Contents

 

We expect to use between 60% to 75% financing leverage at the acquisition date based on the acquisition price, although such loan to value ratio may be higher or lower as determined in our Manager’s sole discretion. As with any liability, there is a risk that we may be unable to repay our obligations from the cash flow of our assets, which could lead to potential foreclosure if we cannot meet periodic payments or repay the debt when due.

  

High debt levels would cause us to incur higher interest charges and higher debt service payments. These factors could limit the amount of cash we have available to distribute and could result in a decline in the value of the properties. Please refer to Section “Risks Related to Financing”. Based on the current interest rate environment, we will look for opportunistic options for refinancing debt, including evaluating the cash-out refinancing options in the future.

  

Investment Criteria

 

We evaluate acquisitions against the following primary characteristics:

 

Homes with a minimum of three (3) bedrooms and one (1) bathroom;

 

 

Homes less than 30 years old;

 

 

Homes with a price range of $200,000 - $450,000 and a repair/improvement budget requirement of less than 10% of the home purchase price; and

 

 

MSA location with a population of more than 1 million.

 

Markets

 

The Company intends to purchase properties initially in the Austin, Dallas, and San Antonio MSAs. The Company and Manager are filing to transact business in Texas and our Manager is headquartered in Texas so that, through its agents, it may directly manage our initial properties. The Company has identified the following trends in those geographical regions:

  

Austin MSA, Texas

Competition

 

The Company competes with many others engaged in real estate investment and management including but not limited to individuals, corporations, bank and insurance company investment accounts, real estate investment trusts, and private real estate funds. Significant increases in the number of listings for long-term rentals in the geographic areas where the Company’s properties are located, if not met by a similar increase in demand, is likely to cause downward pressure on rental rates and, potentially, impact the value of the Underlying Asset.

 

Employees

 

The Company does not have any employees. All services will be provided via our Manager and its employees and contractors. Our Manager has 2 full-time employees and 11 part-time employees or contractors.

  

Intellectual Property

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Overview

 

Tirios Propco Series LLC was formed on April 13, 2023 in the State of Delaware as a series limited liability company. Since its formation, the Company has been engaged primarily in formulating its business plan, sourcing and performing due diligence on and acquisition our first properties, and developing the financial, offering and other materials to begin fundraising. We are considered to be a development stage company, since we are devoting substantially all of our efforts to establishing our business.

 

Results of Operations

 

The Company has had no significant operations and no revenues as of the date of this Offering Circular. The Company has acquired its initial properties and intends to enter into leases for such properties in the near future.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Due to its recent formation, the Company has no cash, assets or liabilities reflected on its balance sheet; however, it has acquired three properties since the date of its balance sheet. The Company’s capital resources will be derived from operating cash flow and from proceeds from this offering. The Series will be dependent on the net proceeds from this offering for funding to reimburse our Manager for these assets. For information regarding the anticipated use of proceeds from this offering, see “Use of Proceeds.”

 

The Company’s financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company is newly formed and has not generated revenue from operations. The Company will require additional capital until revenue from operations are sufficient to cover operational costs. These matters raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

During the next 12 months, the Company intends to fund operations through Manager advances and debt and/or equity financing. There are no assurances that management will be able to raise capital on terms acceptable to the Company. If it is unable to obtain sufficient amounts of additional capital, it may be required to reduce the scope of its planned development and operations, which could harm its business, financial condition and operating results.

 

Trend Information

 

The Company has a limited operating history and no historical operating data for trend analysis. Nonetheless, the Company’s business is subject to general business and economic conditions in the U.S. and worldwide along with local, state, and federal governmental policy decisions. Events including, but not limited to, recession; inflation; downturn or otherwise; government regulations and political policies; travel restrictions; changes in the real estate market; and interest-rate fluctuations could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND SIGNIFICANT EMPLOYEES

 

In accordance with the Operating Agreement and the Series Designations our Manager, Manager for our Series and initial Member of the Company and each Series is Tirios Corporation. Tirios Corporation’s officers, directors and key employees are as follows:

Our Manager may amend any of the terms of our Operating Agreement or any Series Designation as it determines in its sole discretion. However, no amendment to our Operating Agreement may be made without the consent of the holders holding a majority of the outstanding Series Interests, that: (i) decreases the percentage of outstanding Series Interests required to take any action under the Agreement; (ii) materially adversely affects the rights of any of the Members holding Series Interests (including adversely affecting the holders of any particular Series Interests as compared to holders of other Series Interests); (iii) modifies Section 11.1(a) of the Operating Agreement or gives any person the right to dissolve the Company; or (iv) modifies the term of the Company.

 

Our Operating Agreement contains provisions that reduce or eliminate duties (including fiduciary duties) of our Manager. Our Operating Agreement provides that our Manager, in exercising its rights in its capacity as Manager, will have no duty or obligation (fiduciary or otherwise) to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting us or any of our investors and will not be subject to any different standards imposed by our Operating Agreement, the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act, or under any other law, rule, or regulation, or in equity. The Operating Agreement allows our Manager and its affiliates to have other business interests, including those that compete with the Company.

 

The laws of the State of Delaware permit a Company to eliminate or alter the fiduciary duties of its Manager, or other persons, and replace them with the standards set forth in our Operating Agreement. Provisions eliminating or altering the fiduciary duties of a Company’s Manager, officers, or its affiliates (“fiduciary covered persons”) are inconsistent with federal securities laws and the SEC’s views on such fiduciary covered persons’ fiduciary duties. Nothing in the Operating Agreement modifying, restricting, or eliminating the duties or liabilities of our Manager, officers, or its affiliates shall apply to, or in any way limit, the duties (including state law fiduciary duties of loyalty and care) or liabilities of such fiduciary covered persons with respect to matters arising under the federal securities laws.

 

Distributions

 

Pursuant to our Operating Agreement, and any Series Designation, any Free Cash Flows of each Series will be applied and distributed 100% to the Members of such Series on a pro rata basis (which, for the avoidance of doubt, may include our Manager or its affiliates that hold Series Interests).

 

 
48

Table of Contents

 

For each Series that has elected to be taxed as a REIT, we will be required to distribute 90% of the Series’ “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to deduction for dividends paid and our net capital gains); plus 90% of the Series’ net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property (as described below); minus the sum of specified items of non-cash income that exceeds a percentage of the Series income. 

 

“Free Cash Flows” means any available cash for distribution generated from the net income received by a Series, as determined by our Manager to be in the nature of income as defined by U.S. GAAP, plus (i) any change in the net working capital (as shown on the balance sheet of such Series); (ii) any amortization of the relevant Underlying Asset (as shown on the income statement of such Series); (iii) any depreciation of the relevant Underlying Asset (as shown on the income statement of such Series); and (iv) any other non-cash Operating Expenses, less (a) any capital expenditure related to the Underlying Asset (as shown on the cash flow statement of such Series); (b) any other liabilities or obligations of the Series, including interest payments on debt obligations and tax liabilities and fees to Tirios Corporation and its affiliates, in each case to the extent not already paid or provided for; (c) upon the termination and winding up of a Series or the Company, all costs and expenses incidental to such termination and winding up as allocated to the relevant Series in accordance with the terms of the Operating Agreement, and (d) reserves in such amount as determined by our Manager.

 

General Restrictions on Transfer

 

All Series Interests will be issued in electronic form only and will not be listed or quoted on any national securities exchange. We expect that after a Series’ Offering has concluded, the Secondary Trading Platform will be a venue available for the potential resale of such Series’ Shares through the Broker Dealer, as a broker dealer member of the Secondary Trading Platform; provided, however, such resale of a Series’ Shares will be subject to federal and state securities laws and the restrictions in the Operating Agreement, and there can be no assurance that an active market for any Series Interests will develop on the Secondary Trading Platform, that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available to allow resales of Series Interests to residents of all states, or that the Secondary Trading Platform will be available at all. For these reasons, investors must be prepared to hold their Series Interests indefinitely.

 

The Secondary Trading Platform is only available on the Tirios Platform and prospective Subscribers must create an account before being permitted to access the Secondary Trading Platform.

 

No Transfer of any Series Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective, and no transferee will become a substituted Member, unless the written consent of our Manager has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion. Furthermore, no transfer of any Series Interests, whether voluntary or involuntary, will be valid or effective unless our Manager determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the Company that such transfer will not, unless waived by our Manager:

 

● result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of 19.9% of the aggregate outstanding Series Interests;

 

● result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series, as specified in Section 12(g)(1)(A) (ii) of the Exchange Act, unless the Series Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

 

● cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974;

 

● adversely affect the Company or such Series, or subject the Company, the Series, our Manager or any of their respective affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or subject the Company, any Series, our Manager or any of their respective affiliates to any tax to which it would not otherwise be subject;

 

● require registration of the Company, any Series or any Series Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

 

● violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Member.

 

Additionally, unless and until the Series Interests of our company are listed or quoted for trading, there are restrictions on the holder’s ability to pledge the Series Interests. There can be no assurance that we will, or will be able to, register the interests for resale and there can be no guarantee that a liquid market for the interests will develop. Therefore, investors may be required to hold their interests indefinitely. Please refer to our Operating Agreement and the subscription agreement for additional information regarding these restrictions. To the extent certificated, the interests issued in each offering will bear a legend setting forth these restrictions on transfer and any legends required by federal and state securities laws.

 

The transferring interest holder is responsible for all costs and expenses arising in connection with any proposed transfer (regardless of whether such transfer is completed) including any legal fees incurred by the Company or any broker or dealer, any costs or expenses in connection with any opinion of counsel and any transfer taxes and filing fees. Our Manager or its affiliates will acquire interests in each Series for their own accounts and may, from time to time and only in accordance with applicable securities laws (which may include filing an amendment to this Offering Circular), transfer these interests, either directly or through brokers or otherwise.

Further Restrictions of Transfers related to REIT Series

 

The following provisions apply only to Series that have elected to be treated as a REIT.

 

In order for any of our Series to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, Series Interests of each such Series must be owned by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months (other than the first year for which an election to be taxed as a REIT has been made) or during a proportionate part of a shorter taxable year. Also, under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code, a REIT cannot be “closely held.” In this regard, not more than 50% of the value of a Series Interest may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include certain entities) during the last half of a taxable year (other than the first year for which an election to be a REIT has been made). See the section entitled “U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in this Offering Circular for further discussion on this topic.

 

The relevant sections of our Operating Agreement provide that, after the completion of an offering of a Series and subject to the exceptions described below, no person or entity may own, or be deemed to own, by virtue of the applicable constructive ownership provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, more than 9.8% (in value or number of interests, whichever is more restrictive) of the aggregate of our outstanding interests or total capital stock or more than 9.8% (in value or number of interests, whichever is more restrictive) of a Series’ Interests when such Series is to be taxed as a REIT; we refer to these limitations as the “ownership limits.”

 

The constructive ownership rules under the Internal Revenue Code are complex and may cause interests actually or constructively by a group of related individuals or entities to be owned constructively by one individual or entity. As a result, the acquisition of less than 9.8% in value of the aggregate of our outstanding Series Interests or total capital stock of a Series and 9.8% (in value or in number of interests, whichever is more restrictive) of any series (or the acquisition of an interest in an entity that owns, actually or constructively, stock by an individual or entity) could, nevertheless, cause that individual or entity, or another individual or entity, to violate the ownership limits.

 

Our Manager may, upon receipt of certain representations, undertakings and agreements and in its sole discretion, exempt (prospectively or retroactively) any person from the ownership limits and establish a different limit, or excepted holder limit, for a particular person if the person’s ownership in excess of the ownership limits will not then or in the future result in us failing the “closely held” test under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (without regard to whether the person’s interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT. In order to be considered by our manager for exemption, a person also must not own, actually or constructively, an interest in one of our tenants (or a tenant of any entity which we own or control) that would cause us to own, actually or constructively, more than a 9.9% interest in the tenant unless the revenue derived by us from such tenant is sufficiently small that, in the opinion of our manager, rent from such tenant would not adversely affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. The person seeking an exemption must provide such representations and undertakings to the satisfaction of our manager that it will not violate these two restrictions. The person also must agree that any violation or attempted violation of these restrictions will result in the automatic transfer to a trust of the interests causing the violation. As a condition of granting an exemption or creating an excepted holder limit, our manager may, but is not be required to, obtain an opinion of counsel or private ruling from the Service satisfactory to our manager with respect to our qualification as a REIT and may impose such other conditions or restrictions as it deems appropriate.

 

In connection with granting an exemption from the ownership limits or establishing an excepted holder limit or at any other time, our manager may increase or decrease the ownership limits. Any decrease in the ownership limits will not be effective for any person whose percentage ownership of a Series Interest is in excess of such decreased limits until such person’s percentage ownership of the series interests equals or falls below such decreased limits (other than a decrease as a result of a retroactive change in existing law, which will be effective immediately), but any further acquisition of the series’ interests in excess of such percentage ownership will be in violation of the applicable limits. Our manager may not increase or decrease the ownership limits if, after giving effect to such increase or decrease, five or fewer persons could beneficially own or constructively own in the aggregate more than 49.9% in value of the interests of a series then outstanding. Prior to any modification of the ownership limits, our manager may require such opinions of counsel, affidavits, undertakings or agreements as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to determine or ensure our qualification as a REIT.

Table of Contents

 

Our Operating Agreement further prohibits:

 

 

any person from beneficially or constructively owning, applying certain attribution rules of the Internal Revenue Code, stock that would result in us failing the “closely held” test under Section 856(h) of the Internal Revenue Code (without regard to whether the investor’s interest is held during the last half of a taxable year) or otherwise cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT; and

 

 

any person from transferring a series interests if such transfer would result in a series interests being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons (determined without reference to any rules of attribution).

 

Any person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire beneficial or constructive ownership of a Series’ Interests that will or may violate the ownership limits or any of the other foregoing restrictions on ownership and transfer of a Series Interest will be required to immediately give written notice to us or, in the case of a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days’ prior written notice to us, and provide us with such other information as we may request in order to determine the effect of such transfer on our qualification as a REIT. The ownership limits and the other restrictions on ownership and transfer of a Series Interest will not apply if our manager determines that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT or that compliance with the restrictions on ownership and transfer of our Series Interests is no longer required in order for us to qualify as a REIT.

 

If any transfer of Series Interests would result in the Series Interests being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 persons, such transfer will be void from the time of such purported transfer and the intended transferee will acquire no rights in such Series Interests. In addition, if any purported transfer of a Series Interest or any other event would otherwise result in any person violating the ownership limits or such other limit established by our board of directors, our board of directors may take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such transfer, including, but not limited to, causing us to redeem interests, refusing to give effect to the transfer on our books or instituting proceedings to enjoin the transfer.

 

Every owner of more than 5% (or such lower percentage as required by the Internal Revenue Code or the regulations promulgated thereunder) of the outstanding interests of a series, will be required to give written notice to us within 30 days after the end of each taxable year stating the name and address of such owner, the number of interests that the person beneficially owns and a description of the manner in which such interests are held. Each such owner will be required to provide to us such additional information as we may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such beneficial ownership on our qualification as a REIT and to ensure compliance with the ownership limits. In addition, each will, upon demand, be required to provide to us such information as we may request, in good faith, in order to determine our qualification as a REIT and to comply with the requirements of any taxing authority or governmental authority or to determine such compliance.

 

These restrictions on ownership and transfer of our Series Interests could delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change in control that might involve a premium price for our Series Interests or otherwise be in the best interest of our investors.

 

Redemption

 

There are no redemption rights for Series Interests although our Manager has the authority to establish a redemption program in the future.

 

Voting Rights

 

No annual meeting of Members is required. Investors have limited voting rights, and substantial powers are delegated to our Manager. When applicable, a holder of a Series Interest, is entitled to one vote per Series Interest on any and all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally. No separate vote or consent of the holders of Series Interests of a specific Series shall be required for the approval of any matter, except for matters specified in the Series Designation of such Series.

 

 
51

Table of Contents

 

For each existing Series, the affirmative vote of the holders of not less than a majority of the Series Interests of the Series then outstanding shall be required for: (a) any amendment to the Operating Agreement (including the Series Designation) that would adversely change the rights of such Series Interests; (b) mergers, consolidations or conversions of such Series; and (c) all such other matters as our Manager, in its sole discretion, determines shall require the approval of the holders of the outstanding Series Interests of such Series voting as a separate class.

 

The affirmative vote of at least two thirds of the total votes that may be cast by all outstanding Series Interests, voting together as a class, may elect to remove our Manager at any time if our Manager is found by a non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to have committed fraud in connection with a Series or the Company and which has a material adverse effect on the Company. If our Manager is so removed, the Members, by a plurality vote, may appoint a replacement managing Member or approve the liquidation and termination of the Company and each Series in accordance with the provisions of Article XI of the Operating Agreement. In the event of the resignation of our Manager, our Manager shall nominate a successor Manager and the vote of a majority of the outstanding Series Interests shall be required to elect such successor Manager. Our Manager shall continue to serve as our Manager of the Company until such date as a successor Manager is so elected.

 

Reports to Members

 

Our Manager must keep appropriate books and records with respect to the business of the Company and each Series business. The books of the Company shall be maintained, for tax and financial reporting purposes, on an accrual basis in accordance with U.S. GAAP, unless otherwise required by applicable law or other regulatory disclosure requirement. For financial reporting purposes and tax purposes, the fiscal year and the tax year are the calendar year, unless otherwise determined by our Manager in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code.

 

The Company will be required to make annual and semi-annual filings with the SEC. The Company will make annual filings on Form 1- K, and will include audited financial statements for the previous fiscal year. The Company will make semi-annual filings on Form 1-SA, which will include unaudited financial statements for the six months to June 30. The Company will also file a Form 1-U to announce important events such as the loss of a senior officer, a change in auditors, or certain types of capital-raising. The Company will be required to keep making these reports unless it files a Form 1-Z to exit the reporting system, which it will only be able to do if it has less than 300 unitholders of record and have filed at least one Form 1-K.

 

Under the Securities Act, the Company must update this Offering Circular upon the occurrence of certain events, such as asset acquisitions. At least every 12 months, the Company will file a post-qualification amendment to the Offering Statement of which this Offering Circular forms a part, to include the Company’s recent financial statements and updated disclosures. The Company may supplement the information in this Offering Circular by filing a Supplement with the SEC.

 

All these filings will be available on the SEC’s EDGAR filing system and the Tirios Corporation platform: www.tirios.ai. You should read all the available information before investing.

 

Other Rights

 

Holders of Series Interests shall have no conversion, exchange, sinking fund, appraisal rights, no preemptive rights to subscribe for any securities of the Company and no preferential rights to distributions of Series Interests.

 

Forum Selection Provisions

 

The Company’s Operating Agreement includes a forum selection provision that requires any suit, action, or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of or based on any matter arising out of or in connection with the Operating Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby, excluding matters arising under the federal securities laws, be brought in state or federal court of competent jurisdiction located within the State of Delaware.

 

This forum selection provision may limit investors’ ability to bring claims in judicial forums that they find favorable to such disputes and may discourage lawsuits with respect to such claims.

U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS FOR REIT SERIES

 

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax considerations relating only to each of the Series that have elected to be taxed as REITS. Investors should consult with their tax professional to determine the effects of the tax treatment of Series Interests with respect to their individual situation. For purposes of this section, references to “we,” “us” or “our” means each of the applicable Series, individually, except as otherwise indicated.

 

This summary is based upon the Internal Revenue Code, the regulations promulgated by the U.S. Treasury Department, current administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS (including administrative interpretations and practices expressed in private letter rulings which are binding on the IRS only with respect to the particular taxpayers who requested and received those rulings) and judicial decisions, all as currently in effect and all of which are subject to differing interpretations or to change, possibly with retroactive effect. No assurance can be given that the IRS would not assert, or that a court would not sustain, a position contrary to any of the tax considerations described below. No advance ruling has been or will be sought from the IRS regarding any matter discussed in this summary. The summary is also based upon the assumption that the operation of the Series, and of any subsidiaries and other lower-tier affiliated entities, will be in accordance with its applicable organizational documents and as described in this Offering Circular. This summary is for general information only, and does not purport to discuss all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be important to a particular in light of its investment or tax circumstances or to investors subject to special tax rules, such as:

 

 

U.S. expatriates;

 

 

persons who mark-to-market our Series Interests;

 

 

subchapter S corporations;

 

 

U.S. investors who are U.S. persons (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar;

 

 

financial institutions;

 

 

insurance companies;

 

 

broker-dealers;

 

 

REITs;

 

 

regulated investment companies;

 

 

trusts and estates;

 

 

holders who receive our Series Interests through the exercise of employee stock options or otherwise as compensation;

 

 

 

 

persons holding our Series Interests as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “short sale,” “conversion transaction,” “synthetic security” or other integrated investment;

 

 

non-corporate taxpayers subject to the alternative minimum tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

 

persons holding our Series Interests through a partnership or similar pass-through entity;

 

 

persons holding a 10% or more (by vote or value) beneficial interest in the Series;

 

 

tax exempt organizations, except to the extent discussed below in “—Treatment of Tax Exempt U.S. investors;” and

 

 

non-U.S. persons (as defined below), except to the extent discussed below in “—U.S. Taxation of Non-U.S. investors.”

 

 
53

Table of Contents

 

Except to a limited extent noted below, this summary does not address state, local or non-U.S. tax considerations. This summary assumes that investors will hold our Series Interests as capital assets, within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code, which generally means as property held for investment.

 

For the purposes of this summary, a U.S. person is a beneficial owner of our Series Interests who for U.S. federal income tax purposes is:

 

 

a citizen or resident of the United States;

 

 

a corporation (including an entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes) created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of a political subdivision thereof (including the District of Columbia);

 

 

an estate whose income is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

 

 

any trust if (1) a U.S. court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) it has a valid election in place to be treated as a U.S. person.

 

For the purposes of this summary, a U.S. investor is a beneficial owner of our Series Interests who is a U.S. person. A tax exempt organization is a U.S. person who is exempt from U.S. federal income tax under Section 401(a) or 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. For the purposes of this summary, a non-U.S. person is a beneficial owner of our Series Interests who is a nonresident alien individual or a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and a non-U.S. investor is a beneficial owner of our Series Interests who is a non-U.S. person. The term “corporation” includes any entity treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the term “partnership” includes any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

The information in this section is based on the current Code, current, temporary and proposed Treasury Regulations, the legislative history of the Internal Revenue Code, current administrative interpretations and practices of the IRS, including its practices and policies as endorsed in private letter rulings, which are not binding on the IRS except in the case of the taxpayer to whom a private letter ruling is addressed, and existing court decisions. Future legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations and court decisions could change current law or adversely affect existing interpretations of current law, possibly with retroactive effect. Any change could apply retroactively. We have not obtained any rulings from the IRS concerning the tax treatment of the matters discussed below. Thus, it is possible that the IRS could challenge the statements in this discussion that do not bind the IRS or the courts and that a court could agree with the IRS.

 

THE U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX TREATMENT OF HOLDERS OF OUR INTERESTS DEPENDS IN SOME INSTANCES ON DETERMINATIONS OF FACT AND INTERPRETATIONS OF COMPLEX PROVISIONS OF U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX LAW FOR WHICH NO CLEAR PRECEDENT OR AUTHORITY MAY BE AVAILABLE. IN ADDITION, THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF HOLDING OUR INTERESTS TO ANY PARTICULAR INVESTOR WILL DEPEND ON THE INVESTOR’S PARTICULAR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES. YOU ARE URGED TO CONSULT YOUR TAX ADVISOR REGARDING THE U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL, AND NON-U.S. INCOME AND OTHER TAX CONSEQUENCES TO YOU, IN LIGHT OF YOUR PARTICULAR INVESTMENT OR TAX CIRCUMSTANCES, OF ACQUIRING, HOLDING, AND DISPOSING OF OUR INTERESTS.

 

Taxation of Our Company

 

We intend to elect to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, commencing with the taxable year ending December 31, 2021. A REIT generally is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that it distributes to its investors if it meets the applicable REIT distribution and other requirements for qualification. We believe that we will be organized, owned and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, and that our proposed ownership, organization and method of operation will enable us to meet the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. However, given the highly complex nature of the rules governing REITs, the ongoing importance of factual determinations (including with respect to matters that we may not control or for which it is not possible to obtain all the relevant facts) and the possibility of future changes in our circumstances or applicable law, no assurance can be given by us that we will so qualify for any particular year or that the IRS will not challenge our conclusions with respect to our satisfaction of the REIT requirements.

 

 
54

Table of Contents

 

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depends on our ability to meet, on a continuing basis, through actual results of operations, distribution levels, diversity of share ownership and various qualification requirements imposed upon REITs by the Internal Revenue Code, discussed below. In addition, our ability to qualify as a REIT may depend in part upon the operating results, organizational structure and entity classification for U.S. federal income tax purposes of certain entities in which we invest, which we may not control. Our ability to qualify as a REIT also requires that we satisfy certain asset and income tests, some of which depend upon the fair market values of assets directly or indirectly owned by us. Such values may not be susceptible to a precise determination. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that the actual results of our operations for any taxable year will satisfy the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT.

 

Taxation of REITs in General

 

Provided that we qualify as a REIT, we will generally be entitled to a deduction for dividends that we pay and, therefore, will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our net taxable income that is currently distributed to our investors. This treatment substantially eliminates the “double taxation” at the corporate and levels that results generally from investment in a corporation. Rather, income generated by a REIT is generally taxed only at the level, upon a distribution of dividends by the REIT.

 

Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxation as follows:

 

 

We will be subject to regular U.S. federal corporate tax on any undistributed income, including capital gain and undistributed cashless income such as accrued but unpaid interest.

 

 

If we have net income from “prohibited transactions,” which are, in general, sales or other dispositions of property held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property, such income will be subject to a 100% tax. See “—Prohibited Transactions” and “— Foreclosure property” below.

 

 

If we elect to treat property that we acquire in connection with a foreclosure of a mortgage loan or from certain leasehold terminations as “foreclosure property,” we may thereby avoid (1) the 100% tax on gain from a resale of that property (if the sale would otherwise constitute a prohibited transaction) and (2) treating any income from such property as non-qualifying for purposes of the REIT gross income tests discussed below, provided however, that the gain from the sale of the property or net income from the operation of the property that would not otherwise qualify for the 75% income test but for the foreclosure property election will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax at the highest applicable rate (currently 21%).

 

 

If we fail to satisfy the 75% gross income test or the 95% gross income test, as discussed below, but nonetheless maintain our qualification as a REIT because other requirements are met, we will be subject to a 100% tax on an amount equal to (1) the greater of (A) the amount by which we fail the 75% gross income test or (B) the amount by which we fail the 95% gross income test, as the case may be, multiplied by (2) a fraction intended to reflect profitability.

 

 

If we fail to satisfy any of the REIT asset tests, as described below, other than a failure of the 5% or 10% REIT asset tests that do not exceed a statutory de minimis amount as described more fully below, but our failure is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect and we nonetheless maintain our REIT qualification because of specified cure provisions, we will be required to pay a tax equal to the greater of $50,000 or the highest corporate tax rate of the net income generated by the non-qualifying assets during the period in which we failed to satisfy the asset tests.

 

 
55

Table of Contents

 

 

If we fail to satisfy any provision of the Internal Revenue Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT (other than a gross income or asset test requirement) and the violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, we may retain our REIT qualification but we will be required to pay a penalty of $50,000 for each such failure.

 

 

If we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT ordinary income for such year, (2) 95% of our REIT capital gain net income for such year and (3) any undistributed taxable income from prior periods (or the required distribution), we will be subject to a 4% excise tax on the excess of the required distribution over the sum of (A) the amounts actually distributed (taking into account excess distributions from prior years), plus (B) retained amounts on which income tax is paid at the corporate level.

 

 

We may be required to pay monetary penalties to the IRS in certain circumstances, including if we fail to meet record-keeping requirements intended to monitor our compliance with rules relating to the composition of our investors, as described below in “—Requirements for Qualification as a REIT.”

 

 

A 100% excise tax may be imposed on some items of income and expense that are directly or constructively paid between us and any taxable REIT subsidiary, or TRS, and any other TRSs we may own if and to the extent that the IRS successfully adjusts the reported amounts of these items because the reported amounts were not consistent with arm’s length amounts.

 

 

If we acquire appreciated assets from a corporation that is not a REIT in a transaction in which the adjusted tax basis of the assets in our hands is determined by reference to the adjusted tax basis of the assets in the hands of the non-REIT corporation, we may be subject to tax on such appreciation at the highest U.S. federal corporate income tax rate then applicable if we subsequently recognize gain on a disposition of any such assets during the 5-year period following their acquisition from the non-REIT corporation.

 

 

We may elect to retain and pay U.S. federal income tax on our net long-term capital gain. In that case, an investor would include its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term capital gain in its income (to the extent we make a timely designation of such gain to the), would be deemed to have paid the tax that it paid on such gain, and would be allowed a credit for its proportionate share of the tax deemed to have been paid, and an adjustment would be made to increase the investor’s basis in their ownership of our Series Interests.

 

 

We may own subsidiaries that will elect to be treated as TRSs and we may hold equity interests in our borrowers or other investments through such TRSs, the earnings of which will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax.

 

No assurance can be given that the amount of any such U.S. federal income or excise taxes will not be substantial. In addition, we may be subject to a variety of taxes other than U.S. federal income tax, including state, local, and non-U.S. income, franchise property and other taxes. We could also be subject to tax in situations and on transactions not presently contemplated.

 

Requirements for Qualification as a REIT

 

We intend to elect to be taxable as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our taxable year ending December 31 and for all subsequent taxable years. In order to have so qualified, we must meet and continue to meet the requirements discussed below (or as in effect for prior years), relating to our organization, ownership, sources of income, nature of assets and distributions of income to investors.

 

The Internal Revenue Code defines a REIT as a corporation, trust or association:

 

(1) that is managed by one or more trustees or directors;

 

(2) the beneficial ownership of which is evidenced by transferable interests or by transferable certificates of beneficial interest;

 

 
56

Table of Contents

 

(3) that would be taxable as a domestic corporation but for its election to be subject to tax as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

(4) that is neither a financial institution nor an insurance company subject to specific provisions of the Internal Revenue Code;

 

(5) commencing with its second REIT taxable year, the beneficial ownership of which is held by 100 or more persons during at least 335 days of a taxable year of 12 months, or during a proportionate part of a taxable year of less than 12 months;

 

(6) in which, commencing with its second REIT taxable year, during the last half of each taxable year, not more than 50% in value of the outstanding stock is owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer “individuals” as defined in the Internal Revenue Code to include specified entities (the “5/50 Test”);

 

(7) that makes an election to be a REIT for the current taxable year or has made such an election for a previous taxable year that has not been terminated or revoked and satisfies all relevant filing and other administrative requirements established by the IRS that must be met to elect and maintain REIT status;

 

(8) that has no earnings and profits from any non-REIT taxable year at the close of any taxable year;

 

(9) that uses the calendar year for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and complies with the record-keeping requirements of the Internal Revenue Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder; and

 

(10) that meets other tests described below, including with respect to the nature of its income and assets and the amount of its distributions.

 

For purposes of condition (1), “directors” generally means persons treated as “directors” for purposes of the Investment Company Act, which we believe includes the manager. Our interests are generally freely transferable, and we believe that the restrictions on ownership and transfers of our Series Interests do not prevent us from satisfying condition (2). We believe that the interests sold in our Series offerings will allow us to timely comply with condition (6). However, depending on the number of investors who subscribe for interests in a Series offering and the timing of subscriptions, we may need to conduct an additional offering of a Series’ interests to timely comply with (5). For purposes of determining stock ownership under condition (6) above, a certain stock bonus, pension, or profit sharing plan, a supplemental unemployment compensation benefits plan, a private foundation and a portion of a trust permanently set aside or used exclusively for charitable purposes generally are each considered an individual. A trust that is a qualified trust under Code Section 401(a) generally is not considered an individual, and beneficiaries of a qualified trust generally are treated as holding interests of a REIT in proportion to their actuarial interests in the trust for purposes of condition (6) above.

 

To monitor compliance with our ownership requirements, we are generally required to maintain records regarding the actual ownership of our Series Interests. Provided we comply with these recordkeeping requirements and that we would not otherwise have reason to believe we fail the 5/50 Test after exercising reasonable diligence, we will be deemed to have satisfied the 5/50 Test. In addition, the operating agreement provides restrictions regarding the ownership and transfer of our Series Interests, which are intended to assist us in satisfying the ownership requirements described above.

 

For purposes of condition (9) above, we will use a calendar year for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we intend to comply with the applicable recordkeeping requirements.

Effect of Subsidiary Entities

 

Ownership of Partnership interests

 

In the case of a REIT that is a partner in an entity that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the REIT is deemed to own its proportionate share of the partnership’s assets and to earn its proportionate share of the partnership’s gross income based on its pro rata share of capital interests in the partnership for purposes of the asset and gross income tests applicable to REITs, as described below. However, solely for purposes of the 10% value test, described below, the determination of a REIT’s interest in partnership assets will be based on the REIT’s proportionate interest in any securities issued by the partnership, excluding for these purposes, certain excluded securities as described in the Internal Revenue Code. For purposes of determining the amount of the REIT’s taxable income that must be distributed, or is subject to tax, the REIT’s share of partnership income is determined under the partnership tax provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and will reflect any special allocations of income or loss that are not in proportion to capital interests. Income earned through partnerships retains its character for U.S. federal income tax purposes when allocated among its partners. We intend to obtain covenants from any partnerships in which we invest but do not control to operate in compliance with the REIT requirements, but we may not control any particular partnership into which we invest, and thus no assurance can be given that any such partnerships will not operate in a manner that causes us to fail an income or asset test requirement. In general, partnerships are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. However, if a partnership in which we invest is audited, it may be required to pay the hypothetical increase in partner level taxes (including interest and penalties) resulting from an adjustment of partnership tax items on the audit, unless the partnership elects an alternative method under which the taxes resulting from the adjustment (and interest and penalties) are assessed at the partner level. It is possible that partnerships in which we directly and indirectly invest may be subject to U.S. federal income tax, interest and penalties in the event of a U.S. federal income tax audit.

 

Disregarded Subsidiaries

 

If a REIT owns a corporate subsidiary that is a “qualified REIT subsidiary,” that subsidiary is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and all assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of the subsidiary are treated as assets, liabilities and items of income, deduction and credit of the REIT itself, including for purposes of the gross income and asset tests applicable to REITs, as summarized below. A qualified REIT subsidiary is any corporation, other than a TRS, that is wholly owned by a REIT, by other disregarded subsidiaries of a REIT or by a combination of the two. Single member limited liability companies or other domestic unincorporated entities that are wholly owned by a REIT are also generally disregarded as separate entities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including for purposes of the REIT gross income and asset tests unless they elect TRS status. Disregarded subsidiaries, along with partnerships in which we hold an equity interest, are sometimes referred to herein as “pass-through subsidiaries.”

 

In the event that a disregarded subsidiary ceases to be wholly owned by us (for example, if any equity interest in the subsidiary is acquired by a person other than us or another disregarded subsidiary of ours), the subsidiary’s separate existence would no longer be disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Instead, it would have multiple owners and would be treated as either a partnership or a taxable corporation. Such an event could, depending on the circumstances, adversely affect our ability to satisfy the various asset and gross income tests applicable to REITs, including the requirement that REITs generally may not own, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the value or voting power of the outstanding securities of another corporation. See “—Asset Tests” and “—Gross Income Tests.”

 

Taxable REIT Subsidiaries

 

A REIT, in general, may jointly elect with a subsidiary corporation, whether or not wholly owned, to treat the subsidiary corporation as a TRS. The separate existence of a TRS or other taxable corporation, unlike a disregarded subsidiary as discussed above, is not ignored for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, such an entity would generally be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income, which may reduce the cash flow generated by us and our subsidiaries in the aggregate and our ability to make distributions to our investors.

 

A REIT is not treated as holding the assets of a TRS or other taxable subsidiary corporation or as receiving any income that the subsidiary earns. Rather, the stock issued by the subsidiary is an asset in the hands of the REIT, and the REIT generally recognizes dividend income when it receives distributions of earnings from the subsidiary. This treatment can affect the gross income and asset test calculations that apply to the REIT, as described below. Because a parent REIT does not include the assets and income of its TRSs in determining the parent REIT’s compliance with the REIT requirements, such entities may be used by the parent REIT to undertake indirectly activities that the REIT rules might otherwise preclude the parent REIT from doing directly or through pass-through subsidiaries. If dividends are paid to us by one or more domestic TRSs we may own, then a portion of the dividends that we distribute to investors who are taxed at individual rates generally will be eligible for taxation at preferential qualified dividend income tax rates rather than at ordinary income rates. See “—Taxation of Taxable U.S. investors” and “—Annual Distribution Requirements.”

Table of Contents

 

We may hold any equity interests we receive in our borrowers or certain other investments through one or more TRSs. While we intend to manage the size of our TRSs and dividends from our TRSs in a manner that permits us to qualify as a REIT, it is possible that the equity investments appreciate to the point where our TRSs exceed the thresholds mandated by the REIT rules. In such cases, we could lose our REIT status if we are unable to satisfy certain exceptions for failing to satisfy the REIT income and asset tests. In any event, any earnings attributable to equity interests held in TRSs or origination activity conducted by TRSs will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax.

 

To the extent we hold an interest in a non-U.S. TRS, potentially including a collateralized debt obligation (“CDO”) investment, we may be required to include our portion of its earnings in our income irrespective of whether or not such non-U.S. TRS has made any distributions. Any such income will not be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test and may not be qualifying income for purposes of the 95% gross income test.

 

Certain Equity Investments and Kickers

 

We expect to hold certain equity investments (with rights to receive preferred economic returns) in entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes and may hold “kickers” in entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes (and may hold such a kicker outside of a TRS). When we hold investments treated as equity in partnerships, as discussed above, for purposes of the REIT income and asset tests we are required to include our proportionate share of the assets and income of the partnership, based on our share of partnership capital, as if we owned such share of the issuer’s assets directly. As a result, any nonqualifying income generated, or nonqualifying assets held, by the partnerships in which we hold such equity could jeopardize our compliance with the REIT income and asset tests. We intend to obtain covenants from our equity issuers (including a kicker issuer if the kicker is held outside of a TRS) to operate in compliance with the REIT requirements, but we generally will not control such issuers, and thus no assurance can be given that any such issuers will not operate in a manner that causes us to fail an income or asset test requirement. Moreover, at least one IRS internal memorandum would treat the preferred return on certain equity investments as interest income for purposes of the REIT income tests, which treatment would cause such amounts to be nonqualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Although we do not believe that interest income treatment is appropriate, and that analysis was not followed in subsequent IRS private letter rulings, the IRS could re-assert that position. In addition, if the underlying property is dealer property and our equity investment (with rights to receive preferred economic returns) is treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our gains from the sale of the property would be subject to 100% tax.

 

In some, or many, cases, the proper characterization of certain equity investments (with rights to receive preferred economic returns) as unsecured indebtedness or as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes may be unclear. Characterization of such an equity investment as unsecured debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes would subject the investment to the various asset test limitations on investments in unsecured debt, and our preferred return would be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test (but we would not have to include our share of the underlying assets and income of the issuer in our tests). Thus, if the IRS successfully challenged our characterization of an investment as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or successfully treated a preferred return as interest income, we could fail an income or asset test. In that event, we could face substantial penalty taxes to cure the resulting violations, as described in “—Failure to Qualify” below, or, if we were deemed to have acted unreasonably in making the investment, lose our REIT status. Conversely, we also could fail an applicable income or asset test if we have treated a preferred equity investment as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the IRS successfully characterizes the investment as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

 

Gross Income Tests

 

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we annually must satisfy two gross income tests. First, at least 75% of our gross income for each taxable year, excluding gross income from sales of inventory or dealer property in “prohibited transactions” and certain hedging and foreign currency transactions, must be derived from investments relating to real property or mortgages on real property, including “rents from real property,” dividends received from and gains from the disposition of other interests of REITs, interest income derived from mortgage loans secured by real property or by interests in real property, and gains from the sale of real estate assets, including personal property treated as real estate assets, as discussed below (but not including certain debt instruments of publicly-offered REITs that are not secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property), as well as income from certain kinds of temporary investments. interest and gain on debt instruments issued by publicly offered REITs that are not secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property are not qualifying income for purposes of the 75% income test. Second, at least 95% of our gross income in each taxable year, excluding gross income from prohibited transactions and certain hedging and foreign currency transactions, must be derived from some combination of income that qualifies under the 75% income test described above, as well as other dividends, interest, and gain from the sale or disposition of stock or securities, which need not have any relation to real property.

Hedging Transactions

 

We may enter into hedging transactions with respect to one or more of our assets or liabilities. Hedging transactions could take a variety of forms, including interest rate swap agreements, interest rate cap agreements, options, forward rate agreements or similar financial instruments. Except to the extent provided by Treasury Regulations, any income from a hedging transaction, including gain from the sale or disposition of such a transaction, will not constitute gross income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income test if (i) we enter into the hedging transaction in the normal course of business primarily to manage risk of interest rate or price changes or currency fluctuations with respect to borrowings made or to be made, or ordinary obligations incurred or to be incurred, to acquire or carry real estate assets, and the hedge is clearly identified as specified in Treasury regulations before the close of the day on which it was acquired, originated, or entered into, (ii) we enter into the hedging transaction primarily to manage risk of currency fluctuations with respect to any item of income or gain that would be qualifying income under the 75% or 95% gross income tests and the hedge is clearly identified as such before the close of the day on which it was acquired, originated, or entered into, or (iii) we enter into the hedging transaction that hedges against transactions described in clause (i) or (ii) and is entered into in connection with the extinguishment of debt or sale of property that are being hedged against by the transactions described in clauses (i) or (ii) and the hedge complies with certain identification requirements. To the extent that we enter into other types of hedging transactions, including hedges of interest rates on debt we acquire as assets, or do not make proper tax identifications, as applicable, the income from those transactions is likely to be treated as non-qualifying income for purposes of both of the 75% and 95% gross income tests. We intend to structure any hedging transactions in a manner that does not jeopardize its qualification as a REIT. No assurances can be given, however, that our hedging activities will not give rise to income that does not qualify for purposes of either or both of the gross income tests and that such income will not adversely affect our ability to satisfy the REIT qualification requirements.

 

Rents from Real Property

 

We expect to acquire interests in real property and may acquire other interests in real property (including equity participations). However, to the extent that we own real property or interests therein, rents we receive qualify as “rents from real property” in satisfying the gross income tests described above, only if several conditions are met, including the following. If rent attributable to personal property leased in connection with a lease of real property is greater than 15% of the total rent received under any particular lease (determined based on the fair market values as of the beginning and end of the taxable year), then all of the rent attributable to such personal property will not qualify as rents from real property. The determination of whether an item of personal property constitutes real or personal property under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code is subject to both legal and factual considerations and therefore can be subject to different interpretations.

 

In addition, in order for rents received by us to qualify as “rents from real property,” the rent must not be based in whole or in part on the income or profits derived by any person from such real property. However, an amount will not be excluded from rents from real property solely by reason of being based on a fixed percentage or percentages of sales or if it is based on the net income of a tenant which derives substantially all of its income with respect to such property from subleasing of substantially all of such property, to the extent that the rents paid by the subtenants would qualify as rents from real property, if earned directly by us. Moreover, for rents received to qualify as “rents from real property,” we generally must not furnish or render certain services to the tenants of such property, other than through an “independent contractor” who is adequately compensated and from which we derive no income or through a TRS. We are permitted, however, to perform services that are “usually or customarily rendered” in connection with the rental of space for occupancy only and are not otherwise considered rendered to the occupant of the property. In addition, we may directly or indirectly provide non-customary services to tenants of our properties without disqualifying all of the rent from the property if the payment for such services or, if greater, 150% of our cost of providing such services, does not exceed 1% of the total gross income from the property. In such a case, only the amounts for non-customary services are not treated as rents from real property and the provision of the services does not disqualify the related rent.

Table of Contents

 

Rental income will qualify as rents from real property only to the extent that we do not directly or constructively own, (1) in the case of any tenant which is a corporation, stock possessing 10% or more of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote, or 10% or more of the total value of interests of all classes of stock of such tenant, or (2) in the case of any tenant which is not a corporation, an interest of 10% or more in the assets or net profits of such tenant.

 

Failure to Satisfy the Gross Income Tests

 

We intend to monitor our sources of income, including any non-qualifying income received by us, and manage our assets so as to ensure our compliance with the gross income tests. We cannot assure you, however, that we will be able to satisfy the gross income tests. If we fail to satisfy one or both of the 75% or 95% gross income tests for any taxable year, we may still qualify as a REIT for the year if we are entitled to relief under applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These relief provisions will generally be available if our failure to meet these tests was due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect and, following the identification of such failure, we set forth a description of each item of our gross income that satisfies the gross income tests in a schedule for the taxable year filed in accordance with the Treasury Regulations. It is not possible to state whether we would be entitled to the benefit of these relief provisions in all circumstances. If these relief provisions are inapplicable to a particular set of circumstances involving us, we will not qualify as a REIT. As discussed above under “—Taxation of REITs in General,” even where these relief provisions apply, a tax would be imposed upon the profit attributable to the amount by which we fail to satisfy the particular gross income test.

 

Asset Tests

 

At the close of each quarter of our taxable year, we must also satisfy five tests relating to the nature of our assets. First, at least 75% of the value of our total assets must be represented by some combination of “real estate assets,” cash, cash items, and U.S. Government securities. For this purpose, real estate assets include loans secured by mortgages on real property or on interests in real property to the extent described below, certain mezzanine loans and mortgage backed securities as described below, interests in real property (such as land, buildings, leasehold interests in real property and personal property leased with real property if the rents attributable to the personal property would be rents from real property under the income tests discussed above), interests in other qualifying REITs and stock or debt instruments held for less than one year purchased with the proceeds from an offering of stock or certain debt. Second, not more than 25% of our assets may be represented by securities other than those in the 75% asset test. Third, of the assets that do not qualify for purposes of the 75% test and that are not securities of our TRSs: (i) the value of any one issuer’s securities owned by us may not exceed 5% of the value of our gross assets, and (ii) we generally may not own more than 10% of any one issuer’s outstanding securities, as measured by either voting power or value. Fourth, the aggregate value of all securities of TRSs held by us may not exceed 20% of the value of our gross assets. Fifth, not more than 25% of the value of our gross assets may be represented by debt instruments of publicly offered REITs that are not secured by mortgages on real property or interests in real property.

 

Securities for purposes of the asset tests may include debt securities that are not fully secured by a mortgage on real property (or treated as such). However, the 10% value test does not apply to certain “straight debt” and other excluded securities, as described in the Internal Revenue Code, including any loan to an individual or an estate, any obligation to pay rents from real property and any security issued by a REIT. In addition, (1) a REIT’s interest as a partner in a partnership is not considered a security for purposes of applying the 10% value test; (2) any debt instrument issued by a partnership (other than straight debt or other excluded security) will not be considered a security issued by the partnership if at least 75% of the partnership’s gross income is derived from sources that would qualify for the 75% REIT gross income test; and (3) any debt instrument issued by a partnership (other than straight debt or other excluded security) will not be considered a security issued by the partnership to the extent of the REIT’s interest as a partner in the partnership.

Failure to Satisfy Asset Tests

 

After initially meeting the asset tests at the close of any quarter, we will not lose our qualification as a REIT for failure to satisfy the asset tests at the end of a later quarter solely by reason of changes in asset values. If we fail to satisfy the asset tests because we acquire assets during a quarter, we can cure this failure by disposing of sufficient non-qualifying assets within 30 days after the close of that quarter. If we fail the 5% asset test, or the 10% vote or value asset tests at the end of any quarter and such failure is not cured within 30 days thereafter, we may dispose of sufficient assets (generally within six months after the last day of the quarter in which the identification of the failure to satisfy these asset tests occurred) to cure such a violation that does not exceed the lesser of 1% of our assets at the end of the relevant quarter or $10,000,000. If we fail any of the other asset tests or our failure of the 5% and 10% asset tests is in excess of the de minimis amount described above, as long as such failure was due to reasonable cause and not willful neglect, we are permitted to avoid disqualification as a REIT, after the 30 day cure period, by taking steps, including the disposition of sufficient assets to meet the asset test (generally within six months after the last day of the quarter in which we identified the failure to satisfy the REIT asset test) and paying a tax equal to the greater of (x) $50,000 or (y) the amount determined by multiplying the net income generated during a specified period by the assets that cause the failure by the highest U.S. federal income tax rate applicable to corporations.

 

Annual Distribution Requirements

 

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute dividends, other than capital gain dividends, to our investors in an amount at least equal to:

 

(a) the sum of:

 

 

90% of our “REIT taxable income” (computed without regard to its deduction for dividends paid and its net capital gains); and

 

 

90% of the net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property (as described below); minus

 

(b) the sum of certain items of non-cash income.

 

These distributions must be paid in the taxable year to which they relate or in the following taxable year if such distributions are declared in October, November or December of the taxable year, are payable to investors of record on a specified date in any such month and are actually paid before the end of January of the following year. Such distributions are treated as both paid by us and received by each on December 31 of the year in which they are declared. In addition, at our election, a distribution for a taxable year may be declared before we timely file our tax return for the year and be paid with or before the first regular dividend payment after such declaration, provided that such payment is made during the 12-month period following the close of such taxable year. These distributions are taxable to our investors in the year in which paid, even though the distributions relate to our prior taxable year for purposes of the 90% distribution requirement.

 

In order for distributions to be counted towards our distribution requirement and to give rise to a tax deduction by us, they must not be “preferential dividends.” A dividend is not a preferential dividend if it is pro rata among all outstanding shares of stock within a particular class and is in accordance with the preferences among different classes of stock as set forth in the organizational documents. To avoid paying preferential dividends, we must treat every of the class of interests with respect to which we make a distribution the same as every other of that class, and we must not treat any class of interests other than according to its dividend rights as a class. Under certain technical rules governing deficiency dividends, we could lose our ability to cure an under-distribution in a year with a subsequent year deficiency dividend if we pay preferential dividends. Preferential dividends potentially include “dividend equivalent redemptions.” Accordingly, we intend to pay dividends pro rata within each class, and to abide by the rights and preferences of each class of our Series Interests, if there is more than one, and will seek to avoid dividend equivalent redemptions. If, however, we qualify as a “publicly offered REIT” (within the meaning of Section 562(c) of the Internal Revenue Code) in the future, the preferential dividend rules will cease to apply to us. In addition, the IRS is authorized to provide alternative remedies to cure a failure to comply with the preferential dividend rules, but as of the date hereof, no such authorized procedures have been promulgated.

To the extent that we distribute at least 90%, but less than 100%, of our “REIT taxable income,” as adjusted, we will be subject to tax at ordinary U.S. federal corporate tax rates on the retained portion. In addition, we may elect to retain, rather than distribute, our net long-term capital gains and pay tax on such gains. In this case, we could elect to have our investors include their proportionate share of such undistributed long-term capital gains in income and receive a corresponding credit or refund, as the case may be, for their proportionate share of the tax paid by us. Our investors would then increase the adjusted basis of their stock in us by the difference between the designated amounts included in their long-term capital gains and the tax deemed paid with respect to their proportionate interests.

 

If we fail to distribute during each calendar year at least the sum of (1) 85% of our REIT “ordinary income” for such year as defined in Section 4981(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) 95% of our REIT “capital gain net income” for such year as defined in Section 4981(e)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code and (3) 100% of any corresponding undistributed amounts from prior periods, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible federal excise tax on the excess of such required distribution over the sum of amounts actually distributed plus retained income from such taxable year on which we paid corporate income tax. We intend to make timely distributions so that we are not subject to the 4% excise tax.

 

It is possible that we, from time to time, may not have sufficient cash from operations to meet the distribution requirements, for example, due to timing differences between the actual receipt of cash and the inclusion of the corresponding items in income by us for U.S. federal income tax purposes prior to receipt of such income in cash or non-deductible expenditures. In the event that such shortfalls occur, to meet our distribution requirements it might be necessary to arrange for short-term, or possibly long-term, borrowings, use cash reserves, liquidate non-cash assets at rates or times that we regard as unfavorable or pay dividends in the form of taxable stock dividends. In the case of a taxable stock dividend, investors would be required to include the dividend as income and would be required to satisfy the tax liability associated with the distribution with cash from other sources.

 

We may be able to rectify a failure to meet the distribution requirements for a year by paying “deficiency dividends” to investors in a later year, which may be included in our deduction for dividends paid for the earlier year. In this case, we may be able to avoid losing our qualification as a REIT or being taxed on amounts distributed as deficiency dividends. However, we will be required to pay interest and may be required to pay a penalty based on the amount of any deduction taken for deficiency dividends.

 

In the event that we undertake a transaction (such as a tax-free merger) in which we succeed to earnings and profits of a taxable corporation, in addition to the distribution requirements above we also must distribute such non-REIT earnings and profits to our investors by the close the taxable year of the transaction. Such additional dividends are not deductible against our REIT taxable income. We may be able to rectify a failure to distribute any such non-REIT earnings and profits by making distributions in a later year comparable to deficiency dividends noted above and paying an interest charge.

 

Liquidating distributions generally will be treated as dividends for purposes of the above rules to the extent of current earnings and profits in the year paid provided we complete our liquidation within 24 months following our adoption of a plan of liquidation. Compliance with this 24-month requirement could require us to sell assets at unattractive prices, distribute unsold assets to a “liquidating trust” for the benefit of our investors, or terminate our status as a REIT. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of a beneficial interest in a liquidating trust would vary significantly from the U.S. federal income treatment of ownership of our Series Interests.

 

Prohibited Transactions

 

Net income we derive from a prohibited transaction outside of a TRS is subject to a 100% tax unless the transaction qualifies for a statutory safe harbor discussed below. The term “prohibited transaction” generally includes a sale or other disposition of property (other than foreclosure property) that is held as inventory or primarily for sale to customers, in the ordinary course of a trade or business by a REIT. For purposes of this 100% tax, income earned from a shared appreciation provision in a mortgage loan (see below) is treated as if the REIT sold an interest in the underlying property (thus subjecting such income to 100% tax if we hold the shared appreciation mortgage outside of a TRS and the underlying property is inventory or held for sale). The 100% tax will not apply to gains from the sale of property held through a TRS or other taxable corporations (which are taxed at regular corporate rates).

Foreclosure property

 

Foreclosure property is real property and any personal property incident to such real property (1) that is acquired by a REIT as a result of the REIT having bid on the property at foreclosure or having otherwise reduced the property to ownership or possession by agreement or process of law after there was a default (or default was imminent) on a lease of the property or a mortgage loan held by the REIT and secured by the property, (2) for which the related loan or lease was acquired by the REIT at a time when default was not imminent or anticipated and (3) for which such REIT makes a proper election to treat the property as foreclosure property. REITs generally are subject to tax at the highest U.S. federal corporate rate on any net income from foreclosure property, including any gain from the disposition of the foreclosure property, other than income that would otherwise be qualifying income for purposes of the 75% gross income test. Any gain from the sale of property for which a foreclosure property election is in effect will not be subject to the 100% tax on gains from prohibited transactions described above, even if the property would otherwise constitute inventory or property held for sale in the hands of the selling REIT.

 

Failure to Qualify

 

In the event that we violate a provision of the Internal Revenue Code that would result in our failure to qualify as a REIT, we may nevertheless continue to qualify as a REIT under specified relief provisions available to us to avoid such disqualification if (i) the violation is due to reasonable cause and not due to willful neglect, (ii) we pay a penalty of $50,000 for each failure to satisfy a requirement for qualification as a REIT and (iii) the violation does not include a violation under the gross income or asset tests described above (for which other specified relief provisions are available). This cure provision reduces the instances that could lead to our disqualification as a REIT for violations due to reasonable cause. If we fail to qualify for taxation as a REIT in any taxable year and none of the relief provisions of the Internal Revenue Code apply, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax. Distributions to our investors in any year in which we are not a REIT will not be deductible by us, nor will they be required to be made. In this situation, to the extent of current or accumulated earnings and profits, and, subject to limitations of the Internal Revenue Code, distributions to our investors will generally be taxable as qualified dividend income. Subject to certain limitations, dividends in the hands of our corporate U.S. investors may be eligible for the dividends received deduction. Unless we are entitled to relief under the specific statutory provisions, we will also be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following a year during which qualification was lost. It is not possible to state whether, in all circumstances, we will be entitled to statutory relief.

 

Taxation of Taxable U.S. Investors

 

This section summarizes the taxation of U.S. investors that are not tax-exempt organizations.

 

Distributions

 

Provided that we qualify as a REIT, distributions made to our taxable U.S. investors out of our current or accumulated earnings and profits, and not designated as capital gain dividends, will generally be taken into account by them as ordinary dividend income and will not be eligible for the dividends received deduction for corporations. Dividends received from REITs are generally not eligible to be taxed at the preferential qualified dividend income rates applicable to individual U.S. investors who receive dividends from taxable subchapter C corporations. However, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026 and subject to certain limitations, individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers may deduct up to 20% of “qualified REIT dividends.” Qualified REIT dividends eligible for this deduction generally will include our dividends received by a non-corporate U.S. investor that we do not designate as capital gain dividends and that are not qualified dividend income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, such investors may not claim this deduction with respect to dividends paid by us.

 

Distributions from us that are designated as capital gain dividends will be taxed to U.S. investors as long-term capital gains, to the extent that they do not exceed our actual net capital gain for the taxable year, without regard to the period for which the U.S. investor has held our Series Interests. To the extent that we elect under the applicable provisions of the Internal Revenue Code to retain our net capital gains, U.S. investors will be treated as having received, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, our undistributed capital gains as well as a corresponding credit or refund, as the case may be, for taxes paid by us on such retained capital gains. U.S. investors will increase their adjusted tax basis in our Series Interests by the difference between their allocable share of such retained capital gain and their share of the tax paid by us. Corporate U.S. investors may be required to treat up to 20% of some capital gain dividends as ordinary income. Long-term capital gains are generally taxable at maximum U.S. federal rates of 20% in the case of U.S. investors who are individuals and 21% for corporations. Capital gains attributable to the sale of depreciable real property held for more than 12 months generally are subject to a 25% maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for U.S. investors who are individuals, to the extent of previously claimed depreciation deductions. Capital gain dividends are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction for corporations.

Distributions from us in excess of our current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be taxable to a U.S. investor to the extent that they do not exceed the adjusted tax basis of the U.S. investor’s interests in respect of which the distributions were made, but rather will reduce the adjusted tax basis of these interests of interests. To the extent that such distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a U.S. investor’s interests, they will be treated as gain from the disposition of the interests and thus will be included in income as long-term capital gain, or short-term capital gain if the interests of interests have been held for one year or less.

 

To the extent that we have available net operating losses and capital losses carried forward from prior tax years, such losses, subject to limitations, may reduce the amount of distributions that must be made in order to comply with the REIT distribution requirements. See “—Taxation of Our Company” and “—Annual Distribution Requirements.” Such losses, however, are not passed through to U.S. investors and do not offset income of U.S. investors from other sources, nor do they affect the character of any distributions that are actually made by us.

 

Passive Activity Loss and Investment Interest Limitations; No Pass-Through of Losses

 

Dividends paid by us and gain from the disposition of our Series Interests will not be treated as passive activity income and, therefore, U.S. investors will not be able to apply any “passive losses” against such income. With respect to non-corporate U.S. investors, our dividends (to the extent they do not constitute a return of capital) that are taxed at ordinary income rates will generally be treated as investment income for purposes of the investment interest limitation; however, net capital gain from the disposition of our Series Interests (or distributions treated as such), capital gain dividends, and dividends taxed at net capital gains rates generally will be excluded from investment income except to the extent the U.S. elects to treat such amounts as ordinary income for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. investors may not include in their own U.S. federal income tax returns any of our net operating or net capital losses.

 

Sales or Dispositions of Our Interests

 

In general, capital gains recognized by an investor that is not a dealer in securities upon the sale or disposition of our Series Interests will be subject to tax at long-term capital gains rates, if such interests or interests were held for more than one year, and will be taxed at ordinary income rates if such interests of interests were held for one year or less. Gains recognized by U.S. investors that are corporations are subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, whether or not classified as long-term capital gains.

 

Capital losses recognized by a U.S. investor upon the disposition of our Series Interests held for more than one year at the time of disposition will be considered long-term capital losses (or short-term capital losses if the interests have not been held for more than one year) and are generally available only to offset capital gain income of the U.S. investor but not ordinary income. In addition, any loss upon a sale or exchange of our Series Interests by a U.S. investor who has held the interests for six months or less, after applying holding period rules, will be treated as a long-term capital loss to the extent of distributions received from us that were required to be treated by the U.S. investor as long-term capital gain.

 

Liquidating Distributions

 

Once we have adopted (or are deemed to have adopted) a plan of liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, liquidating distributions received by a U.S. investor with respect to our Series Interests will be treated first as a recovery of the investor’s basis in the interests of interests (computed separately for each block of interests) and thereafter as gain from the disposition of our Series Interests.

Medicare Tax on Unearned Income

 

U.S. investors that are individuals, estates or trusts may be required to pay an additional 3.8% tax on, among other things, dividends on our Series Interests (without regard to the 20% deduction on ordinary REIT dividends) and capital gains from the sale or other disposition of stock. U.S. investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the effect, if any, of this legislation on their ownership and disposition of our Series Interests.

 

Treatment of Tax-Exempt U.S. Investors

 

U.S. tax exempt entities, including qualified employee pension and profit sharing trusts and individual retirement accounts, generally are exempt from U.S. federal income taxation. However, they are subject to taxation on their unrelated business taxable income, or UBTI. While many investments in real estate may generate UBTI, the IRS has ruled that regular distributions from a REIT to a tax exempt entity do not constitute UBTI. Based on that ruling, and provided that (1) a tax exempt U.S. investor has not held our Series Interests as “debt financed property” within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code (that is, where the acquisition or holding of a property is financed through a borrowing by the tax exempt) and (2) we do not hold REMIC residual interests or interests in a taxable mortgage pool that gives rise to “excess inclusion income,” distributions from us and income from the sale of our Series Interests generally should not give rise to UBTI to a tax exempt U.S. investor.

 

Tax exempt U.S. investors that are social clubs, voluntary employee benefit associations, or supplemental unemployment benefit trusts exempt from U.S. federal income taxation under Sections 501(c)(7), (c)(9), or (c)(17) of the Internal Revenue Code, respectively, are subject to different UBTI rules, which generally will require them to characterize distributions from us as UBTI.

 

A pension trust (1) that is described in Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, (2) is tax exempt under Section 501(a) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (3) that owns more than 10% of a Series; interests could be required to treat a percentage of the dividends from us as UBTI if we are a “pension-held REIT.” We will not be a pension-held REIT unless (1) either (A) one pension trust owns more than 25% of the value of a Series’ interests, or (B) a group of pension trusts, each individually holding more than 10% of the value of a Series’ interests, collectively owns more than 50% of such interests; and (2) we would not have satisfied the 5/50 Test but for a special rule that permits us to “look-through” such trusts to the ultimate beneficial owners of such trusts in applying the 5/50 Test.

 

In general, the U.S. federal income tax rules applicable to REITs will require us to complete our liquidation within 24 months following our adoption of a plan of liquidation. Compliance with this 24-month requirement could require us to distribute unsold assets to a liquidating trust. The U.S. federal income tax treatment of ownership an interest in any such liquidating trust would differ materially from the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our Series Interests, including the potential incurrence of income treated as UBTI.

 

Tax exempt U.S. investors are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. tax consequences of owning our Series Interests.

 

U.S. Taxation of Non-U.S. Investors

 

General

 

In general, non-U.S. investors will not be considered to be engaged in a U.S. trade or business solely as a result of their ownership of our Series Interests. In cases where a non-U.S. investor’s investment in our Series Interests is, or is treated as, effectively connected with the non-U.S. investor’s conduct of a U.S. trade or business, dividend income received in respect of our Series Interests and gain from the sale of our Series Interests generally will be “effectively connected income” (“ECI”) subject to U.S. federal income tax at graduated rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. investor were a U.S. investor, and such dividend income may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax (subject to possible reduction under a treaty) on the income after the application of the income tax in the case of a non-U.S. investor that is a corporation. Additionally, non-U.S. investors that are nonresident alien individuals who are present in the U.S. for 183 days or more during the taxable year and have a “tax home” in the U.S. are subject to a 30% withholding tax on their capital gains. The remaining discussion below assumes the dividends and gain generated in respect of our Series Interests is not effectively connected to a U.S. trade or business of the non-U.S. investor and that the non-U.S. investor is not present in the U.S. for more than 183 days during any taxable year.

FIRPTA

 

Under the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act (“FIRPTA”), gains from U.S. real property interests (“USRPIs”) are generally treated as ECI subject to U.S. federal income tax at graduated rates in the same manner as if the non-U.S. investor were a U.S. investor (and potentially branch profits tax to non-U.S. corporations), and will generate return filing obligations in the United States for such non-U.S. investors. USRPIs for purposes of FIRPTA generally include interests in real property located in the United States and loans that provide the lender with a participation in the profits, gains, appreciation (or similar arrangements) of real property located in the United States. Loans secured by real property located in the United States that do not provide the lender with a participation in profits, gains, appreciation (or similar arrangements) of the real property are generally not treated as USRPIs.

 

In addition, stock of a domestic corporation (including a REIT such as us) will be a USRPI if at least 50% of its real property assets and assets used in a trade or business are USRPIs at any time during a prescribed testing period. Notwithstanding the foregoing rule, (i) our Series Interests will not be a USRPI if we are “domestically-controlled,” (ii) our Series Interests will not be a USRPI with respect to a selling non-U.S investor. if the interests sold are of a class that is regularly traded on an established securities market and the selling non-U.S. investor owned, actually or constructively, 10% or less of our outstanding stock of that class at all times during a specified testing period (generally the lesser of the five year period ending on the date of disposition or the period of our existence), or (iii) with respect to a selling non-U.S. investor that is a “qualified” (as described below) or (iv) with respect to a selling non-U.S. investor that is a “qualified foreign pension fund” (as described below).

 

A domestically controlled REIT is a REIT in which, at all times during a specified testing period (generally the lesser of the five-year period ending on the date of disposition of the REIT’s interests of interests or the period of the REIT’s existence), less than 50% in value of its outstanding interests of interests is held directly or indirectly by non-U.S. persons. For these purposes, a person holding less than 5% of our Series Interests for five years will be treated as a U.S. person unless we have actual knowledge that such person is not a U.S. person.

 

Ordinary Dividends

 

The portion of dividends received by non-U.S. investors payable out of our earnings and profits that are not attributable to gains from sales or exchanges of USRPIs will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at the rate of 30%, unless reduced or eliminated by an applicable income tax treaty. Under some treaties, however, lower rates generally applicable to dividends do not apply to dividends from REITs.

 

Non-Dividend Distributions

 

A non-U.S. investor should not incur tax on a distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits if the excess portion of the distribution does not exceed the adjusted basis of its interests. Instead, the excess portion of the distribution will reduce the adjusted basis of its interests. A non-U.S. investor generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax (but will be subject to withholding as described below) on a distribution that exceeds both our current and accumulated earnings and profits and the adjusted basis of its interests unless our Series Interests constitutes a USRPI and no other exception applies to the selling non-U.S. investor. If our Series Interests is a USRPI, and no other exception applies to the selling non-U.S. investor, distributions in excess of both our earnings and the non-U.S. investor’s basis in our Series Interests will be treated as ECI subject to U.S. federal income tax. Regardless of whether the distribution exceeds basis, we will be required to withhold 15% of any distributions to non-U.S. investors in excess of our current year and accumulated earnings (i.e., including distributions that represent a return of the non-U.S. investor’s tax basis in our Series Interests). The withheld amounts will be credited against any U.S. tax liability of the non-U.S. investor, and may be refundable to the extent such withheld amounts exceed the investor’s actual U.S. federal income tax liability. Even in the event our Series Interests is not a USRPI, we may choose to withhold on the entire amount of any distribution at the same rate as we would withhold on a dividend because we may not be able to determine at the time we make a distribution whether or not the distribution will exceed our current and accumulated earnings and profits. However, a non-U.S. investor may obtain a refund of amounts that we withhold if we later determine that a distribution in fact exceeded our current and accumulated earnings and profits, to the extent such withheld amounts exceed the investor’s actual U.S. federal income tax liability.

Capital Gain Dividends and Distributions of FIRPTA Gains

 

Subject to the exceptions that may apply if our Series Interests are regularly traded on an established securities market or if the selling non-U.S. investor is a “qualified” or a “qualified foreign pension fund,” each as described below, under a FIRPTA “look-through” rule, any of our distributions to non-U.S. investors of gain attributable to the sale of a USRPI will be treated as ECI and subject to the 21% FIRPTA withholding regardless of whether our Series Interests constitutes a USRPI. Amounts treated as ECI under the look-through rule may also be subject to the 30% branch profits tax (subject to possible reduction under a treaty), after the application of the income tax to such ECI, in the case of a non-U.S. investor that is a corporation. In addition, we will be required to withhold tax at the highest U.S. federal corporate income tax rate on the maximum amount that could have been designated as capital gains dividends. Capital gain dividends received by a non-U.S. investor that are attributable to dispositions of our assets other than USRPIs are not subject to U.S. federal income tax. This FIRPTA look through rule also applies to distributions in redemption of interests and liquidating distributions, to the extent they represent distributions of gain attributable to the sale of a USRPI.

 

A distribution that would otherwise have been treated as gain from the sale of a USRPI under the FIRPTA look-through rule will not be treated as ECI, and instead will be treated as otherwise described herein without regard to the FIRPTA look-through rule, if (1) the distribution is received with respect to a class of stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States, and (2) the recipient non-U.S. investor does not own more than 10% of that class of stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the date on which the distribution is received. We currently are not publicly traded and such rules will not apply unless and until our Series Interests becomes “regularly traded” on an established securities exchange in the future.

 

Sales or Dispositions of Our Interests

 

If gain on the sale of our Series Interests were taxed under FIRPTA, a non-U.S. investor would be taxed on that gain in the same manner as U.S. investors with respect to that gain, subject to any applicable alternative minimum tax. A non-U.S. investor generally will not incur tax under FIRPTA on a sale or other disposition of our Series Interests if we are a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity,” which requires that, during the five-year period ending on the date of the distribution or disposition, non-U.S. investors hold, directly or indirectly, less than 50% in value of a Series’ interests and such Series is qualified as a REIT. For such testing periods that end on or after December 18, 2015, a person holding less than 5% of our regularly traded classes of stock for five years has been, and will be, treated as a U.S. person unless we have actual knowledge that such person is not a U.S. person. Because our Series Interests will be publicly traded, we cannot assure you that we will be in the future a domestically controlled qualified investment entity. However, gain recognized by a non-U.S. investor from a sale of our Series Interests that is regularly traded on an established securities market will not be subject to tax under FIRPTA if (i) our securities are considered regularly traded under applicable Treasury Regulations on an established securities market, such as the NYSE American, and (ii) the non-U.S. investor owned, actually and constructively, 10% or less of the value of such class of securities at all times during the specified testing period ending on the date of the disposition. The testing period referred to in the previous sentence is the shorter of (x) the period during which the non-U.S. investor held the stock and (y) the five-year period ending on the date of the disposition. We currently are not publicly traded and such rules will not apply unless and until our Series Interests becomes “regularly traded” on an established securities exchange in the future. Non-U.S. investors should consult their tax advisors as to the availability of the exception for holders of less than 10% of our securities in the case of a class of our securities that is not regularly traded on an established securities market.

 

In addition, even if we are a domestically controlled qualified investment entity, upon a disposition of our Series Interests, a non-U.S. investor may be treated as having gain from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest if the non-U.S. investor (i) disposes of an interest in our Series Interests or preferred stock during the 30-day period preceding the ex-dividend date of a distribution, any portion of which, but for the disposition, would have been treated as gain from the sale or exchange of a United States real property interest, and (ii) directly or indirectly acquires, enters into a contract or option to acquire, or is deemed to acquire, other our Series Interests or preferred stock within 30 days before or after such ex-dividend date. The foregoing rule does not apply if the exception described above for dispositions by 10% or smaller holders of regularly traded classes of stock is satisfied.

Table of Contents

 

Furthermore, a non-U.S. investor generally will incur tax on gain not subject to FIRPTA if (i) the gain is effectively connected with the non-U.S. investor’s U.S. trade or business and, if certain treaties apply, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment maintained by the non-U.S. investor, in which case the non-U.S. investor will be subject to the same treatment as U.S. investors with respect to such gain and may be subject to the 30% branch profits tax in the case of a non-U.S. corporation, or (ii) the non U.S. investor is a nonresident alien individual who was present in the United States for 183 days or more during the taxable year and has a “tax home” in the United States, in which case the non-U.S. investor will generally incur a 30% tax on his or her net U.S. source capital gains. Purchasers of our Series Interests from a non-U.S. investor generally will be required to withhold and remit to the IRS 15% of the purchase price unless at the time of purchase (i) any class of our securities is regularly traded on an established securities market (subject to certain limits if the interests of stock sold are not themselves part of such a regularly traded class) or (ii) we are a domestically controlled qualified investment entity. The non-U.S. investor may receive a credit against his or her U.S. tax liability for the amount withheld.

 

To the extent our Series Interests is held directly (or indirectly through one or more partnerships) by a “qualified,” our Series Interests will not be treated as a USRPI. Further, to the extent such treatment applies, any distribution to such will not be treated as gain recognized from the sale or exchange of a USRPI. For these purposes, a qualified is generally a non-U.S. investor that (i)(A) is eligible for treaty benefits under an income tax treaty with the United States that includes an exchange of information program, and the principal class of interests of which is listed and regularly traded on one or more stock exchanges as defined by the treaty, or (B) is a foreign limited partnership organized in a jurisdiction with an exchange of information agreement with the United States and that has a class of regularly traded limited partnership units (having a value greater than 50% of the value of all partnership units) on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq, (ii) is a “qualified collective investment vehicle” (within the meaning of Section 897(k)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) and (iii) maintains records of persons holding 5% or more of the class of interests described in clauses (i)(A) or (i)(B) above. However, in the case of a qualified having one or more “applicable investors,” the exception described in the first sentence of this paragraph will not apply to the applicable percentage of the qualified investor’s stock (with “applicable percentage” generally meaning the percentage of the value of the interests in the qualified held by applicable investors after applying certain constructive ownership rules). The applicable percentage of the amount realized by a qualified on the disposition of our securities or with respect to a distribution from us attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a USRPI will be treated as amounts realized from the disposition of USRPI. Such treatment will also apply to applicable investors in respect of distributions treated as a sale or exchange of stock with respect to a qualified. For these purposes, an “applicable investor” is a person (other than a qualified) who generally holds an interest in the qualified and holds more than 10% of our securities applying certain constructive ownership rules.

 

Special FIRPTA Rules

 

For FIRPTA purposes, a “qualified foreign pension fund” will not be treated as a non-U.S. investor, and any entity all of the interests of which are held by a qualified foreign pension fund will be treated as such a fund. A “qualified foreign pension fund” is an organization or arrangement (i) created or organized in a foreign country, (ii) established to provide retirement or pension benefits to current or former employees (including self-employed individuals) or their designees by either (A) a foreign country as a result of services rendered by such employees to their employers, or (B) one or more employers in consideration for services rendered by such employees to such employers, (iii) which does not have a single participant or beneficiary that has a right to more than 5% of its assets or income, (iv) which is subject to government regulation and with respect to which annual information about its beneficiaries is provided, or is otherwise available, to relevant local tax authorities and (v) with respect to which, under its local laws, (A) contributions that would otherwise be subject to tax are deductible or excluded from its gross income or taxed at a reduced rate, or (B) taxation of its investment income is deferred, or such income is excluded from its gross income or taxed at a reduced rate.

 

U.S. Federal Income Tax Returns

 

If a non-U.S. investor is subject to taxation under FIRPTA on proceeds from the sale of our Series Interests or preferred stock or on distributions, the non-U.S. investor will be required to file a U.S. federal income tax return.

Liquidating Distributions

 

Once we have adopted (or are deemed to have adopted) a plan of liquidation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, liquidating distributions received by a non-U.S. investor with respect to our Series Interests will be treated first as a recovery of the investor’s basis in the interests of interests (computed separately for each block of interests) and thereafter as gain from the disposition of our Series Interests. Subject to the FIRPTA look-through rule, (i) if our Series Interests are a USRPI, gain from a liquidating distribution with respect our Series Interests would be ECI to the non-U.S. investor unless such non-U.S. investor were a qualified or qualified foreign pension fund, as described above, and (ii) if our Series Interests are not a USRPI, gain from a liquidating distribution with respect to our Series Interests would not be subject to U.S. federal income tax. In general, the U.S. federal income tax rules applicable to REITs will require us to complete our liquidation within 24 months following our adoption of a plan of liquidation. Compliance with this 24-month requirement could require us to distribute unsold assets to a “liquidating trust” The U.S. federal income tax treatment of ownership an interest in any such liquidating trust would differ materially from the U.S. federal income tax treatment of an investment in our securities, including the potential incurrence of income treated as ECI and the likely requirement to file U.S. federal income tax returns.

 

The IRS takes the view that under the FIRPTA look-through rule, but subject to the exceptions described above that may apply to a holder of no more than 10% of our Series Interests if our Series Interests is regularly traded on an established securities market, to a qualified or to a qualified foreign pension fund, distributions in redemption of our Series Interests and liquidating distributions to non-U.S. investors will be treated as ECI and subject to withholding at the highest U.S. federal corporate income rate, and also potentially subject to branch profits tax in the case of corporate non-U.S. investors, to the extent that the distributions are attributable to gain from the sale of a USRPI, regardless of whether our securities are a USRPI and regardless of whether the distribution is otherwise treated as a sale or exchange.

 

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting

 

We will report to our U.S. investors and the IRS the amount of dividends paid during each calendar year and the amount of any tax withheld. Under the backup withholding rules, a U.S. investor may be subject to backup withholding with respect to dividends paid unless the holder is a corporation or comes within other exempt categories and, when required, demonstrates this fact or provides a taxpayer identification number or social security number, certifies as to no loss of exemption from backup withholding and otherwise complies with applicable requirements of the backup withholding rules. A U.S. investor that does not provide his or her correct taxpayer identification number or social security number may also be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. In addition, we may be required to withhold a portion of dividends or capital gain distribution to any U.S. investor who fails to certify their non-foreign status.

 

U.S. investors. In general, information reporting requirements will apply to payments of distributions on our securities and payments of the proceeds of the sale of our securities to some investors. Further, the payor will be required to backup withhold on any payments at the current rate of 24% if:

 

 

(1)

the payee fails to furnish a taxpayer identification number, or TIN, to the payor or establish an exemption from backup withholding;

 

 

(2)

the IRS notifies the payor that the TIN furnished by the payee is incorrect;

 

 

(3)

the payee fails to certify under the penalty of perjury that the payee is not subject to backup withholding under the Internal Revenue Code; or

 

 

(4)

there has been a notified payee underreporting with respect to dividends described in Code Section 3406(c).

 

Some U.S. investors, including corporations and tax-exempt organizations, will be exempt from backup withholding. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to an will be allowed as a credit against the investor’s U.S. federal income tax and may entitle the investor to a refund, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS on a timely basis.

Non-U.S. Investors. Information reporting requirements and backup withholding may apply to (i) payments of distributions on our securities to a non-U.S. investor and (ii) proceeds a non- U.S. investor receives upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of our securities. Information reporting and backup withholding will generally not apply if an appropriate IRS Form W-8 is duly provided by such non-U.S. investor or the otherwise establishes an exemption, provided that the withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that the is a U.S. person or that the claimed exemption is not in fact satisfied. Even without having executed an appropriate IRS Form W-8 or substantially similar form, however, in some cases information reporting and backup withholding will not apply to proceeds received through a broker’s foreign office that a non-U.S. investor receives upon the sale, exchange, redemption, retirement or other disposition of our securities. However, this exemption does not apply to brokers that are U.S. persons and certain foreign brokers with substantial U.S. ownership or operations. Any amount withheld under the backup withholding rules is allowable as a credit against such investor’s U.S. federal income tax liability (which might entitle such holder to a refund), provided that such holder furnishes the required information to the IRS. Payments not subject to information reporting requirements may nonetheless be subject to other reporting requirements

 

Foreign Accounts and FATCA

 

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, subject to administrative guidance and certain intergovernmental agreements entered into thereunder, currently imposes withholding taxes on certain U.S. source passive payments to “foreign financial institutions” (as specifically defined in the Internal Revenue Code) and certain other non-U.S. entities. Under this legislation, the failure to comply with additional certification, information reporting and other specified requirements could result in withholding tax being imposed on payments of dividends and sales proceeds to U.S. investors who own our Series Interests through foreign accounts or foreign intermediaries and certain non-U.S. investors. The legislation imposes a 30% withholding tax on dividends on our Series Interests paid to a foreign financial institution or to a foreign entity other than a financial institution, unless (i) the foreign financial institution (as the beneficial owner or as an intermediary for the beneficial owners) undertakes certain diligence and reporting obligations or (ii) the foreign entity (as the beneficial owners or, in certain cases, as an intermediary for the beneficial owners) is not a financial institution and either certifies it does not have any substantial U.S. owners or furnishes identifying information regarding each substantial U.S. owner. If the payee is a foreign financial institution (that is not otherwise exempt), it must either (1) enter into an agreement with the U.S. Treasury Department requiring, among other things, that it undertake to identify accounts held by certain U.S. persons or U.S.-owned foreign entities, annually report certain information about such accounts, and withhold 30% on payments to account holders whose actions prevent it from complying with these reporting and other requirements or (2) in the case of a foreign financial institution that is resident in a jurisdiction that has entered into an intergovernmental agreement to implement FATCA, comply with the revised diligence and reporting obligations of such intergovernmental agreement. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding this legislation.

 

State, Local and Non-U.S. Taxes

 

We and our investors may be subject to state, local or non-U.S. taxation in various jurisdictions, including those in which it or they transact business, own property or reside. The state, local or non-U.S. tax treatment of us and our investors may not conform to the U.S. federal income tax treatment discussed above. Any non-U.S. taxes incurred by us would not pass through to investors as a credit against their U.S. federal income tax liability. Prospective investors should consult their tax advisors regarding the application and effect of state, local and non-U.S. income and other tax laws on an investment in our Series Interests.

 

Legislative or Other Actions Affecting REITs

 

The rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the U.S. Department of the Treasury. No assurance can be given as to whether, when, or in what form, U.S. federal income tax laws applicable to us and our investors may be enacted. Changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws and interpretations of U.S. federal income tax laws could adversely affect an investment in a Series’ interests.

 

The recently enacted TCJA, generally applicable for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, made significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code, including a number of provisions of the Internal Revenue Code that affect the taxation of businesses and their owners, including REITs and their investors.

 

 
71

Table of Contents

 

Among other changes, the TCJA made the following changes:

 

 

For tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026, (i) the U.S. federal income tax rates on ordinary income of individuals, trusts and estates have been generally reduced and (ii) non-corporate taxpayers are permitted to take a deduction for certain pass-through business income, including, as discussed above, dividends received from REITs that are not designated as capital gain dividends or qualified dividend income, subject to certain limitations.

 

 

The maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for corporations has been reduced, and corporate alternative minimum tax has been eliminated for corporations, which would generally reduce the amount of U.S. federal income tax payable by our TRSs and by us to the extent we were subject corporate U.S. federal income tax. In addition, the maximum withholding rate on distributions by us to non-U.S. investors that are treated as attributable to gain from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest has been reduced.

 

 

Certain new limitations on the deductibility of interest expense now apply, which limitations may affect the deductibility of interest paid or accrued by us or our TRSs.

 

 

Certain new limitations on net operating losses now apply, which limitations may affect net operating losses generated by us or our TRSs.

 

 

A U.S. tax-exempt that is subject to tax on its UBTI will be required to separately compute its taxable income and loss for each unrelated trade or business activity for purposes of determining its UBTI.

 

 

Accounting rules generally require us to recognize income items for federal income tax purposes no later than when we take the item into account for financial statement purposes, which may accelerate our recognition of certain income items.

 

The long-term effect of the TCJA on us and our investors remains uncertain, and administrative guidance will be required in order to fully evaluate the effect of many provisions. Any technical corrections with respect to the TCJA could have an adverse effect on us or our investors.

 

MATERIAL UNITED STATES PARTNERSHIP TAX CONSIDERATIONS

 

Potential investors should be aware of the material federal and state income tax aspects of an investment in the Series that will be taxed as partnerships. Investors should consult with their tax professional to determine the effects of the tax treatment of Series Interests with respect to their individual situation. For purposes of this section, references to “we,” “us” or “our” means each of the applicable Series, individually, except as otherwise indicated.

 

Reporting Status of the Series

 

The Series will elect to be treated as a partnership for federal and state income tax purposes. By maintaining partnership tax status, the Series will not report income or loss at the Series level but will report to each Member their pro rata share of profits and losses from operations and disposition according to Operating Agreement. This process will make the Series a pass-through entity for tax purposes.

 

Taxation of Members

 

The Series will be treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes. A partnership is not generally a taxable entity. A Member will be required to report on their federal tax return their distributable share of partnership profit, loss, gain, deductions, or credits. Cash distributions may or may not be taxable, depending on whether such cash distribution is being treated as a return of capital or a return on investment. Tax treatment of the cash distributions will be treated according to appropriate tax accounting procedure as determined by the Series’s tax advisor.

 

Basis of the Series

 

An original tax basis will be established for the Series by including the total acquisition costs of properties. An original tax basis will be established for the Series in the properties based on their purchase price and acquisition costs. The tax basis of the Series will be adjusted during the operations of the Series under applicable partnership tax principles.

 

 
72

Table of Contents

 

Basis of a Member

 

A Member will establish their original tax basis based on the amount of their initial capital contribution. Each Member’s tax basis will be adjusted during operations of the Series by principles of subchapter K of the Internal Revenue Code. A Member may deduct, subject to other tax regulations and provisions, their share of company losses only to the extent of the adjusted basis of their interest in the Series. Members should seek qualified tax advice regarding the deductibility of any company losses.

 

Cost Recovery and Recapture

 

Our Manager will apply the current cost recovery rules to the improved portion of each property according to the relevant Internal Revenue Code sections, namely: straight-line, using a 27.5-year useful life for residential property and thirty-nine (39) years for non-residential property. Our Manager may elect to use the cost segregation method of depreciation for any personal property associated with real property it acquires on behalf of the Series.

 

The annual cost recovery deductions that must be taken by the Series will be allocated to the Members based on their percentage interests in the Series. The cost recovery deductions will be available to the Members to shelter the principal reduction portion of the debt service payments and part of the cash flow distributed by the Series.

 

According to the current tax code, cost recovery deductions taken during operations may be required to be reported on the sale of a property and may be taxed at a twenty-five percent (25%) marginal rate, not the more favorable long-term capital gains rates.

 

Deductibility of Prepaid and Other Expenses

 

The Series will incur expenditures for legal fees in association with the set-up of the Series. These expenditures will be capitalized and will be deducted on dissolution of the Series based on current tax law.

 

The Series will incur expenditures for professional fees associated with the preparation and filing of the annual income tax and informational return and the preparation of Schedule K-1 reports to be distributed to the Members. These expenditures will be deducted on an annual basis. All other normal operating expenses will be deducted on an annual basis by the Series, which will use a calendar accounting year.

 

Taxable Gain

 

Members may receive taxable income from company operations, from the sale or other disposition of a Member’s interests, from disposition of the properties, or from phantom income. Presently, the maximum federal tax rate on cost recovery recapture is twenty-five percent (25%). The balance of the taxable gain will be taxed at the capital gain tax rate in effect at that time. Investors should check with their tax professional for information as to what capital gains tax rate applies to them.

 

From Operations

 

According to the Series investment objectives and policies, our Manager is projecting that there will be taxable income to distribute to the Members on the Schedule K-1 report provided to each Member annually.

 

From Disposition, Dissolution and Termination

 

On disposition of a property or on dissolution and termination of the Series, which will likely be caused by the sale of the property, the Members may be allocated taxable income that may be treated as ordinary income or capital gain.

 

In addition, the Members may receive an adjustment in their capital account(s) that will either increase or decrease the capital gain to be reported. The Operating Agreement describes the operation of capital accounts for the Series and the Members.

 

 
73

Table of Contents

 

From Sale or Other Disposition of a Member’s Interests

 

A Member may be unable to sell their interests in the Series, as there may be no market. If there is a market, it is possible that the price received will be less than the market value. It is possible that the taxes payable on any sale may exceed the cash received on the sale.

 

Upon the sale of a Member’s interest, the Member will report taxable gain to the extent that the sale price of the interest exceeds the Member’s adjusted tax basis. A portion of taxable gain may be reported as a recapture of the cost recovery deduction allocated to the Member and will be taxed at the cost recovery tax rate in effect at that time. Members should seek advice from their qualified tax professional in the event of the sale of the Member’s interest.

 

Phantom Income

 

It may occur that in any year the Members will receive an allocation of taxable income and not receive any cash distributions. This event is called receiving phantom income as the Member has taxable income to report but receives no cash. In this event, the Members may owe tax on the reportable income, which the Member will need to pay out of pocket.

 

Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT)

 

an investor who is tax exempt (such as a charitable organization), or who acquires Units through a tax-exempt vehicle (such as an Individual Retirement Account) may be subject to Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT). Our Manager recommends that investors contact their qualified tax advisor to determine how/whether the application of UBIT may apply to them.

 

Audits

 

Election Out of Bipartisan Budget Act Audit Rules

 

Effective for partnership returns for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018, partnerships will be subject to the audit rules of sections 6221 through 6241 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 (BBA). Under the previous rules, partnership audits (subject to certain exceptions for small partnerships) were conducted at the partnership level, through interaction with a Tax Matters Partner (TMP) authorized to bind all partners (subject to participation in some instances by Notice Partners). Tax adjustments were made at the partnership level, but the adjustments would flow through to the partners who were partners during the year(s) under audit. Collection would then occur at the partner level.

 

Under the BBA audit rules, the IRS will assess and collect tax deficiencies directly from the partnership at the entity level. Generally, the tax is imposed on and paid by the partnership in the current year, calculated at the highest individual rate. The result is that the underlying tax burden of the underpayment may be shifted from the partners who were partners during the year(s) under audit to current partners.

 

In addition, the positions of TMP and Notice Partners have been eliminated and replaced with a Partnership Representative, which must be designated annually on the partnership’s timely filed return. The Partnership Representative has the sole authority to act on behalf of the partnership and the partners in an audit, and those powers cannot be limited.

 

A partnership may elect out of the BBA audit rules if certain conditions are met. In order to elect out, the partnership must issue 100 or fewer K-1s each year with respect to its partners. Moreover, each partner must be either an individual, a C corporation, a foreign entity that would be treated as a C corporation if it were domestic, an S corporation, or the estate of a deceased partner. Thus, a partnership is ineligible to elect out if any partner is a trust (including a grantor trust), a partnership, or a disregarded entity, such as an LLC where the social security number of the individual Member is used for income tax reporting purposes. The election out must be made annually on the partnership’s timely filed return and must include a disclosure of the name and taxpayer identification number of each partner. In the case of a partner that is an S corporation, each K-1 issued by the S corporation partner counts toward the limit of 100 K-1s. The partnership must notify each partner of the election out.

 

 
74

Table of Contents

 

It is the intent of the Series to elect out of the BBA audit rules, if possible. By electing out of the BBA audit rules, the Series will be subject to audit procedures similar to the TEFRA and pre-TEFRA rules, but the IRS will be required to assess and collect any tax that may result from the adjustments at the individual partner level. However, this opt-out provision likely will not be available to the Series based on the tax classification of the Members.

 

Members will be required timely to furnish the Series with the information necessary to make the annual election, and the Series will be authorized to provide such information to the IRS.

 

Push Out Election (Audit)

 

The “push out” election of Internal Revenue Code section 6226 provides an alternative to the general rule that the partnership must pay any tax resulting from an adjustment made by the IRS. Under section 6226, a partnership may elect to have its reviewed year partners consider the adjustments made by the IRS and pay any tax due as a result of those adjustments. The partnership must make the “push out” election no later than 45 days after the date of the notice of final partnership adjustment and must furnish our Manager and each partner for the reviewed year a statement of the partner’s share of the adjustment.

 

If the Series fails to make a valid election out of the BBA audit rules or is otherwise disqualified from electing out of their application, the Series intends to elect the application of the “push out” procedures. In the event of a push out, or if the “push out” is not effective, a former Member may owe additional tax if they were a Member during the reviewed year.

 

The preceding discussion of United States federal tax considerations is for general information only. It is not tax advice. Each prospective investor should consult its own tax advisor regarding the particular United States federal, state and local and foreign tax consequences, if applicable, of purchasing, holding and disposing of the interests, including the consequences of any proposed change in applicable laws.

 

ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

 

Each respective Member that is an employee benefit plan or trust (an “ERISA Plan”) within the meaning of, and subject to, the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”), or an individual retirement account (“IRA”) or Keogh Plan subject to the Internal Revenue Code, should consider the matters described below in determining whether to invest in our Company.

 

In addition, ERISA Plan fiduciaries must give appropriate consideration to, among other things, the role that an investment in our Company plays in such ERISA Plan’s portfolio, taking into consideration (i) whether the investment is reasonably designed to further the ERISA Plan’s purposes, (ii) an examination of the risk and return factors, (iii) the portfolio’s composition with regard to diversification, (iv) the liquidity and current return of the total portfolio relative to the ERISA Plan’s objectives and (v) the limited right of Members to withdraw all or any part of their capital accounts or to transfer their interests in our Company.

 

If the assets of our Company were regarded as “plan assets” of an ERISA Plan, an IRA, or a Keogh Plan, our Manager of our Company would be a “fiduciary” (as defined in ERISA) with respect to such plans and would be subject to the obligations and liabilities imposed on fiduciaries by ERISA. Moreover, other various requirements of ERISA would also be imposed on our Company. In particular, any rule restricting transactions with “parties in interest” and any rule prohibiting transactions involving conflicts of interest on the part of fiduciaries would be imposed on our Company which may result in a violation of ERISA unless our Company obtained an appropriate exemption from the Department of Labor allowing our Company to conduct its operations as described herein.

 

Regulations adopted by the Department of Labor (the “Plan Regulations”) provides that when a Plan invests in another entity, the Plan’s assets include both the equity interest and an undivided interest in each of the underlying assets of the entity, unless it is established that, among other exceptions, the equity participation in the entity by “benefit plan investors” is not “significant.” The Pension Protection Act of 2006 amended the definition of “benefit plan investors” to include only plans and plan asset entities (i.e., entities that are themselves deemed to hold plan assets by virtue of investments in them by plans) that are subject to part 4 of Title I of ERISA or section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code. This new definition excludes governmental, church, and foreign benefit plans from consideration as benefit plan investors.

 

 
75

Table of Contents

 

Under the Plan Regulations, participation by benefit plan investors is “significant” on any date if, immediately after the last acquisition, 25% or more of the value of any class of equity interests in the entity is held by benefit plan investors. our Company intends to limit the participation in our Company by benefit plan investors to the extent necessary so that participation by benefit plan investors will not be “significant” within the meaning of the Plan Regulations. Therefore, it is not expected that our Company assets will constitute “plan assets” of plans that acquire interests.

 

It is the current intent of our Company to limit the aggregate investment by benefit plan investors to less than 25% of the value of the Members’ membership interests so that equity participation of benefit plan investors will not be considered “significant.” Our Company reserves the right, however, to waive the 25% limitation. In such an event, our Company would expect to seek exemption from application of “plan asset” requirements under the real estate operating company exemption.

 

ACCEPTANCE OF SUBSCRIPTIONS ON BEHALF OF INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS OR OTHER EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS IS IN NO RESPECT A REPRESENTATION BY OUR COMPANY OR ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, OR ANY OTHER PARTY THAT THIS INVESTMENT MEETS ALL RELEVANT LEGAL REQUIREMENTS WITH RESPECT TO INVESTMENTS BY ANY PARTICULAR PLAN. THE PERSON WITH INVESTMENT DISCRETION SHOULD CONSULT WITH HIS OR HER ATTORNEY AND FINANCIAL ADVISERS AS TO THE PROPRIETY OF SUCH AN INVESTMENT IN LIGHT OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THAT PARTICULAR PLAN AND CURRENT TAX LAW.

 

PRIOR PERFORMANCE

 

Prior Performance is Not Indicative of Future Results

 

Our Company is newly formed specifically to pursue its proposed business and has no prior experience raising or investing funds. Our Manager and its affiliates do have prior experience raising money for or operating real estate syndications.

  

Each of the following projects (each a “Project” and collectively, “Projects”) has or had investment objectives that are similar to the investment objectives of our Company and closed in the past three years. The Projects are each managed by Tirios Corporation or an affiliate thereof.

 

All of these Projects were demined to be similar in nature in that they raised funds from private equity offerings exempt from registration pursuant to the safe harbor afforded by Regulation D under the Securities Act for the primary purpose of acquiring income-producing single-family real estate assets to hold for long-term lease. In addition, Each of the Projects also has investment objectives that are similar to the investment objectives of our Company.

 

As included in detail below, our Manager has participated in 6 single family transactions valued at over $2.37 million located in Austin, MSA. These acquisitions involved offerings of securities, raising approximately $0.76 million from 74 investors. None of the Projects have been sold as of the date of this Offering Circular. The Projects include:

Independent Auditor's Report

 

June 8, 2023

To: Board of Directors of Tirios Propco Series LLC

Attn: Sachin Latawa, CEO

Re: Inception Financial Statement Audit – Tirios Propco Series LLC

 

Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements

 

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Tirios Propco Series LLC, which comprise the balance sheets as of April 13, 2023 (date of inception), and the related statements of income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the date then ended, and the related notes to the financial statements. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tirios Propco Series LLC as of April 13, 2023 (date of inception), and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the date then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are required to be independent of Tirios Propco Series LLC and to meet our other ethical responsibilities, in accordance with the relevant ethical requirements relating to our audits. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Substantial Doubt About the Company's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the financial statements, the Company has very limited operating history and has stated that substantial doubt exists about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's evaluation of the events and conditions and management's plans regarding these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. Our opinion is not modified with respect to this matter.

 

Responsibilities of Management for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is required to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about Tirios Propco Series LLC’s ability to continue as a going concern.

 

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Misstatements are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements.

 

 
F-3

Table of Contents

 

In performing an audit in accordance with GAAS, we:

 

 

·

Exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit.

 

·

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Such procedures include examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.

 

·

Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Tirios Propco Series LLC’s internal control. Accordingly, no such opinion is expressed.

 

·

TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF APRIL 13, 2023 (INCEPTION)

(AUDITED)

 

NOTE 1 – NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Tirios Propco Series LLC (which may be referred to as the “Company”, “Tirios,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) was registered in Delaware on April 13, 2023. Tirios will issue fractional offerings in underlying real estate assets, primarily single- family rentals homes. The assets are initially expected to be located in Texas.

 

The Company was formed to establish separate Series for the holding of properties to be acquired by the Company and that the debts, liabilities and obligations incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to a particular Series of the Company will be enforceable against the assets of such Series only and not against the assets of the Company generally or any other Series thereof, and not of the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing with respect to the Company generally or any other Series thereof shall be enforceable against the assets of such Series.

 

As of April 13, 2023 (inception), the Company had not begun operations and will likely incur losses prior to generating positive retained earnings. These matters raise substantial concern about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern (see Note 5). During the next twelve months, the Company intends to fund its operations with funding from Series Regulation A offering (see Note 6) and funds from revenue producing activities. If the Company cannot secure additional short-term capital, it may cease operations. These financial statements and related notes thereto do not include any adjustments that might result from these uncertainties.

 

NOTE 2 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accounting and reporting policies of the Company conform to accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("US GAAP"). Any reference in these notes to applicable guidance is meant to refer to U.S. GAAP as found in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) and Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”).

 

Use of Estimates

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and footnotes thereto. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates. It is reasonably possible that changes in estimates will occur in the near term.

 

Significant estimates used in the preparation of the accompanying financial statements include recording of depreciation and amortization and the collectible valuation of accounts receivable.

 

Risks and Uncertainties

 

The Company has a limited operating history. The Company's business and operations are sensitive to general business and economic conditions in the United States. A host of factors beyond the Company's control could cause fluctuations in these conditions. Adverse conditions may include recession, downturn or otherwise, local competition or changes in consumer taste. These adverse conditions could affect the Company's financial condition and the results of its operations.

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers short-term, highly liquid investment with original maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash equivalents. As of April 13, 2023 (inception), the Company had no cash on hand and has not yet created a bank account.

TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

AS OF APRIL 13, 2023 (INCEPTION)

(AUDITED)

 

Property and Equipment

 

Property and equipment will be recorded at cost. Expenditures for renewals and improvements that significantly add to the productive capacity or extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. When equipment is retired or sold, the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the balance sheet accounts and the resultant gain or loss is reflected in income. As of April 13, 2023 (inception), the Company had no property and equipment.

 

Depreciation will be provided using the straight-line method, based on useful lives of the assets.

 

The Company reviews the carrying value of property and equipment for impairment whenever events and circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable from the estimated future cash flows expected to result from its use and eventual disposition. In cases where undiscounted expected future cash flows are less than the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized equal to an amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value of assets. The factors considered by management in performing this assessment include current operating results, trends and prospects, the manner in which the property is used, and the effects of obsolescence, demand, competition, and other economic factors. The Company had no impairment as of April 13, 2023 (inception).

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

US GAAP defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price) and such principles also establish a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value using the following definitions (from highest to lowest priority):

 

 

·

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, including quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

 

 

 

 

·

Level 3 – Prices or valuation techniques requiring inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

 

There were no assets or liabilities requiring fair value measurement as of April 13, 2023 (inception).

 

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, performance has occurred, the fee for the arrangement is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. As of April 13, 2023 (inception), the Company had not begun recognizing sales.

 

Organizational Costs

 

In accordance with FASB ASC 720, organizational costs, including accounting fees, legal fee, and costs of incorporation, are expensed as incurred.

 

Advertising

 

The Company expenses advertising costs as they are incurred.

COVID-19

 

In January 2020, the World Health Organization has declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) as a “Public Health Emergency of International Concern,” which continues to spread throughout the world and has adversely impacted global commercial activity and contributed to significant declines and volatility in financial markets. The coronavirus outbreak and government responses are creating disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting many industries. The outbreak could have a continued material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate material adverse impact of the coronavirus outbreak. Nevertheless, the outbreak presents uncertainty and risk with respect to the Company, its performance, and its financial results.

Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member may, at any time and from time to time and in compliance with paragraph (c), cause the Company to establish in writing (each, a Series Designation) one or more series as such term is used under Section 18- 215 of the Delaware Act (each a Series) and in any such manner as permitted by the Delaware Act. The Series Designation shall relate solely to the Series established thereby and shall not be construed: (i) to affect the terms and conditions of any other Series, or (ii) to designate, fix or determine the rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Interests associated with any other Series, or the Members associated therewith. The terms and conditions for each Series established pursuant to this Section shall be as set forth in this Agreement and the Series Designation, as applicable, for the Series. Upon approval of any Series Designation by the Managing Member, such Series Designation shall be attached to this Agreement as an Exhibit until such time as none of such Interests of such Series remain Outstanding.

 

 
13

 

 

(b) Series Operation. Each of the Series shall operate to the extent practicable as if it were a separate limited liability company.

 

(c) Series Designation. The Series Designation establishing a Series may: (i) specify a name or names under which the business and affairs of such Series may be conducted; (ii) designate, fix and determine the relative rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Interests of such Series and the Members associated therewith (to the extent such terms differ from those set forth in this Agreement) and (iii) designate or authorize the designation of specific Officers to be associated with such Series. A Series Designation (or any resolution of the Managing Member amending any Series Designation) shall be effective when a duly executed original of the same is included by the Managing Member among the permanent records of the Company, and shall be annexed to, and constitute part of, this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, upon such effective date, the Series described in such Series Designation shall be deemed to have been established and the Interests of such Series shall be deemed to have been authorized in accordance with the provisions thereof). The Series Designation establishing a Series may set forth specific provisions governing the rights of such Series against a Member associated with such Series who fails to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable provisions of such Series Designation). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a Series Designation, the terms and conditions of the Series Designation shall prevail.

 

(d) Assets and Liabilities Associated with a Series.

 

(i) Assets Associated with a Series. All consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of Interests of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be (assets), shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be held for the benefit of the Series or the Members associated with such Series, and not for the benefit of the Members associated with any other Series, for all purposes, and shall be accounted for and recorded upon the books and records of the Series separately from any assets associated with any other Series. Such assets are herein referred to as assets associated with that Series. In the event that there are any assets in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Members reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate such assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable, and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any asset so allocated to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be an asset associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each and every Series, and the Managing Member shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series.

 

 
14

 

 

(ii) Liabilities Associated with a Series. All debts, liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, obligations and reserves incurred by, contracted for or otherwise existing, with respect to a particular Series shall be charged against the assets associated with that Series. Such liabilities are herein referred to as liabilities associated with that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Member’s reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. All liabilities associated with a Series shall be enforceable against the assets associated with that Series only, and not against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series, and except to the extent set forth above, no liabilities shall be enforceable against the assets associated with any Series prior to the allocation and charging of such liabilities as provided above. Any allocation of liabilities that are not readily associated with a particular Series to, between or among one or more of the Series shall not represent a commingling of such Series to pool capital for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business or making common investments and sharing in profits and losses therefrom. The Managing Member has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate of Formation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18-215(b) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18-207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

 

(e) Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine; provided, however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company’s books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

 

(f) Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, or the Interest Designation).

 

Section 3.4 Authorization to Issue Interests.

 

(a) The Company may issue Interests, and options, rights and warrants relating to Interests, for any Company or Series purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member shall determine, all without the approval of the Economic Members. Each Interest shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

 
15

 

 

(b) Subject to Section 6.4(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of Interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

  

(c) The Company’s transfer agent will maintain the official ownership records of the Interests in book form, the ownership of the Series Interests will also be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain as a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests. A Member will be deemed the record holder with respect to a Series Interest as of any date only if, as of such date, such Series Interest is recorded with the Transfer Agent in book form. The Company will maintain a digital courtesy copy of the Series Interests on Blockchain as a Token, which is maintained for recordkeeping purposes of the Company, and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the transfer agent and the blockchain record, the transfer agent’s record will be determinative. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Series Interests held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a record holder of the corresponding number of Series Interests. For these purposes, the Company and our Managing Member shall rely on the information recorded on book entry form with Transfer Agent, and on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date and in the event of a conflict between the record held by the transfer agent and the blockchain record, the transfer agent’s record will be determinative.

  

Section 3.5 Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, the Economic Members shall not participate in the decision-making, management or control of the Company’s business and shall have no authority to act for or bind the Company. To the extent that the Economic Members are permitted to vote, (i) each Record Holder of Interests shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/Token for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally, (ii) all Record Holders of Interests (regardless of Series) shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which all Record Holders of Interests are entitled to vote, (iii) Record Holders of a particular Series of Interest shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/token of the Series for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of the Members of such Series. Any action required by this Agreement or the Act to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

 

 
16

 

 

Section 3.7 Splits.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number of Interests are proportionately adjusted.

 

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of Interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c) Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

 

Section 3.8 Agreements. The rights of all Members and the terms of all Interests are subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

ARTICLE IV - REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

 

Section 4.1 Maintenance of a Register. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer and ownership limitations contained below:

 

(a) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company and each Series a register that will set forth the Record Holders of each of the Interests and information regarding the Transfer of each of the Interests. The Managing Member is hereby initially appointed as registrar and transfer agent of the Interests, provided that the Managing Member may appoint such third-party registrar and transfer agent as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion, for the purpose of registering Interests and Transfers of such Interests as herein provided, including as set forth in any Series Designation. Such registrar may be the Blockchain Token Ledger or separate from the Blockchain Token Ledger.

 

(b) Upon acceptance by the Managing Member of the Transfer of any Interest, Interests/Tokens may be transferred only by following the procedures for transfers available to Economic Members. Each transferee of an Interest (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Economic Member with respect to the Interests so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company maintained in book form by the Transfer Agent, and as a digital courtesy copy as a Token on the Blockchain Token Ledger, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by completing a Form of Adherence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member in accordance with Section 4.2(g)(ii), (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Interests so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Managing Member and any Liquidator of the Company and each of their authorized officers and attorneys in fact, as the case may be, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The Transfer of any Interests and the admission of any new Economic Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required for the admission of new Economic Members. In case of a conflict between the record held by the Transfer Agent and the blockchain record, the Transfer Agent’s record will be determinative.

In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section must also be satisfied.

(i) result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit or REIT Aggregate Ownership Limit for any Series taxed as a REIT;

 

(ii) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series of Interests, unless such Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

(c) The transferring Economic Member, or such Economic Member’s legal representative, shall give the Managing Member prior written notice before making any voluntary Transfer and notice within thirty (30) days after any involuntary Transfer (unless such notice period is otherwise waived by the Managing Member), and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Company to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the consequences referred to in paragraphs (b)(i) through (b)(vi) above. If a Transfer occurs by reason of the death of an Economic Member or assignee, the notice may be given by the duly authorized representative of the estate of the Economic Member or assignee. The notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and valid assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Managing Member.

(e) A transferee shall be entitled to any future distributions attributable to the Interests transferred to such transferee and to transfer such Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of an Economic Member as a result of such Transfer until he or she becomes a Substitute Economic Member.

 

(f) The Company and each Series shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to the transferring Economic Member until a written instrument of Transfer has been received by the Company and recorded on its books and the effective date of Transfer has passed.

(i) the transferring Economic Member and each transferee to execute one or more deeds or other instruments of Transfer in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member;

 

(ii) each transferee to acknowledge its assumption (in whole or, if the Transfer is in respect of part only, in the proportionate part) of the obligations of the transferring Economic Member by executing a Form of Adherence (or any other equivalent instrument as determined by the Managing Member);

 

(iii) each transferee to provide all the information required by the Managing Member to satisfy itself as to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions compliance matters; and

 

(iv) payment by the transferring Economic Member, in full, of the costs and expenses referred to in paragraph (h) below, and no Transfer shall be completed or recorded in the books of the Company, and no proposed Substitute Economic Member shall be admitted to the Company as an Economic Member, unless and until each of these requirements has been satisfied or, at the sole discretion of the Managing Member, waived.

 

(h) The transferring Economic Member shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any proposed Transfer, whether or not the Transfer proceeds to completion, including any legal fees incurred by the Company or any broker or dealer, any costs or expenses in connection with any opinion of counsel, and any transfer taxes and filing fees.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 4.3(b) above, in the event of the resignation of the Managing Member of its rights, obligations and title as Managing Member, the Managing Member shall appoint a successor Managing Member without need for vote or consent of the Economic Members.

(d) The members of the Advisory Board shall not be deemed managers or other persons with duties to the Company or any Series (under Sections 18-1101 or 18-1104 of the Delaware Act or under any other applicable law or in equity) and shall have no fiduciary duty to the Company or any Series. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, reports and information of the Advisory Board to the extent the Managing Member reasonably believes that such matters are within the professional or expert competence of the members of the Advisory Board, and shall be protected under Section 18-406 of the Delaware Act in relying thereon.

 

Section 5.5 Exculpation, Indemnification, Advances and Insurance.

 

(a) Subject to other applicable provisions of this ARTICLE V including Section 5.7, the Indemnified Persons shall not be liable to the Company or any Series for any acts or omissions by any of the Indemnified Persons arising from the exercise of their rights or performance of their duties and obligations in connection with the Company or any Series, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company or any Series, including with respect to any acts or omissions made while serving at the request of the Company or on behalf of any Series as an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, other than such acts or omissions that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, ”Expenses and Liabilities”) arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a managing member of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Series (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Series has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member or the Officers are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company or any Series, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this paragraph that the Company and each applicable Series indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

  

 
24

 

 

(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.7, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(c) Any indemnification under this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by each applicable Series. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

 

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys’ fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may, at the option of the Managing Member, be paid by each applicable Series in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each such Series as authorized in this Section.

 

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

 

(g) The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

 

 
25

 

 

(h) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person entitled to indemnification under this Section.

 

(i) The Company and any Series may, to the extent authorized from time to time by the Managing Member, provide rights to indemnification and to the advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Company or such Series.

 

(j) If this Section or any portion of this Section shall be invalidated on any ground by a court of competent jurisdiction each applicable Series shall nevertheless indemnify each Indemnified Person as to expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement with respect to any action, suit, proceeding or investigation, whether civil, criminal or administrative, including a grand jury proceeding or action or suit brought by or in the right of the Company, to the full extent permitted by any applicable portion of this Section that shall not have been invalidated.

 

(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel, accountants, and other experts, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company or any Series in furtherance of the interests of the Company or such Series in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other experts will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel, accountants, or other experts were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

 

(l) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or any Series (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(n) The Managing Member shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and any Series and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or associated with any Series, or by any other Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes are within such other Person’s professional or expert competence (including, without limitation, the Advisory Board).

 

(o) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any indemnitee under this Section as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

The Managing Member shall not have any duty (including any fiduciary duty) to the Company, any Series, the Economic Members or any other Person, including any fiduciary duty associated with self-dealing or corporate opportunities, all of which are hereby expressly waived. This Section shall not in any way reduce or otherwise limit the specific obligations of the Managing Member expressly provided in this Agreement or in any other agreement with the Company or any Series.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Person dealing with the Company or any Series shall be entitled to assume that the Managing Member and any Officer of the Company or any Series has full power and authority to encumber, sell or otherwise use in any manner any and all assets of the Company or such Series and to enter into any contracts on behalf of the Company or such Series, and such Person shall be entitled to deal with the Managing Member or any Officer as if it were the Company’s or such Series sole party in interest, both legally and beneficially. Each Economic Member hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffirm any action of the Managing Member or any Officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives. Each and every certificate, document or other instrument executed on behalf of the Company or any Series by the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives shall be conclusive evidence in favor of any and every Person relying thereon or claiming thereunder that (a) at the time of the execution and delivery of such certificate, document or instrument, this Agreement were in full force and effect, (b) the Person executing and delivering such certificate, document or instrument was duly authorized and empowered to do so for and on behalf of the Company or any Series and (c) such certificate, document or instrument was duly executed and delivered in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and is binding upon the Company or the applicable Series.

For the avoidance of doubt, except as may be required pursuant to ARTICLE X, a Member shall only have access to the information (including any Series Designation) referenced with respect to any Series in which such Member has an Interest and not to any Series in which such Member does not have an Interest.

 

(c) Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable Series Designation, within 120 calendar days after the end of the fiscal year and 90 calendar days after the end of the semi-annual reporting date, the Managing Member shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to circulate to each Economic Member electronically by e-mail or made available via an online platform:

From the effective date of a Series election to qualify as a REIT until the termination of its status as a REIT, the Managing Member and its officers shall take such action from time to time as the Managing Member determines is necessary or appropriate in order to maintain the Series’ qualification as a REIT; provided, however, if the Managing Member determines in good faith that it is no longer in the best interests of the Series or Company for a Series to continue to be qualified as a REIT, the Managing Member may authorize the Company to revoke or otherwise terminate its REIT election pursuant to Section 856(g) of the Code. The additional terms in Exhibit B shall apply to the Company or any Series if it has elected to be taxed as a partnership. The additional terms in Exhibit C shall apply to the Company or any Series if it has elected to be taxed as a REIT.

ARTICLE X - REMOVAL OF THE MANAGING MEMBER

In the event of its removal, the Managing Member shall be entitled to receive all amounts that have accrued and are then currently due and payable to it pursuant to this Agreement but shall forfeit its right to any future distributions. If the Managing Member of a Series and the Property Manager of a Series shall be the same Person or controlled Affiliates, then the Managing Member’s or such affiliate’s appointment as Property Manager of such Series shall concurrently automatically terminate. Prior to its admission as a Managing Member of any Series, any replacement Managing Member shall acquire the Interests held by the departing Managing Member in such Series for fair market value and in cash immediately payable on the Transfer of such Interests and appoint a replacement Property Manager on the same terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Property Management Agreement.

When paid, any unused portion of the reserve shall be applied to other liabilities or distributed as additional liquidation proceeds.

 

(c) Subject to the terms of any Series Designation (including, without limitation, the preferential rights, if any, of holders of any other class of Interests of the applicable Series), all property and all Free Cash Flows in excess of that required to discharge liabilities as provided in Section 11.3(b) shall be distributed to the holders of the Interests of the Series on an equal per Interest basis, and in accordance with Section 7.2.

Except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704- 2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations, notwithstanding any other provision of Exhibit B, if there is a net decrease in Member Minimum Gain attributable to a Member Nonrecourse Debt during any Fiscal Year, each Member who has a share of the Member Minimum Gain attributable to such Member Nonrecourse Debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Treasury Regulations, shall be specially allocated items of income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Member’s share of the net decrease in Member Minimum Gain, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations. Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704- 2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations. This Section (b) is intended to comply with the partner minimum gain chargeback requirement in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Treasury Regulations and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections 1.704- l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 5 of thisExhibit B have been tentatively made as if this Section were not in the Agreement.

 

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in have been tentatively made as if Section (c) above and this Section (d) were not in the Agreement.

 

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective holdings of Series Interests.

 

(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such items are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

 

(g) Section 754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m), as an item of Net Profit (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Net Loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such Net Profit or Net Loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(h) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) above (the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Notwithstanding any other provisions of Section 5 of this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Profits and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

4. Curative Allocations. If the Managing Member determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in Exhibit B (an “unallocated item”), or that the allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members’ economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(3)(ii)) (a “misallocated item”), then the Managing Member may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests; provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Member may unreasonably withhold) and provided further that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.

 

5. Tax Allocations.

 

(a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3 of this Exhibit A, Net Profit, Net Loss and items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company for each Fiscal Year (or other period) shall be allocated among all Members who were Members during such Fiscal Year (or other period) in a manner that will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior taxable years (or other applicable period), being (as nearly as possible) equal to (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company (limited, with respect any nonrecourse liabilities, to the value reflected in the Members’ Capital Accounts for the assets securing such nonrecourse liabilities), and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, minus (y) the Member’s share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain.

 

(b) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount of Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

 

(f) Allocations pursuant to Section 4 of this Exhibit B are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Beneficial Ownership” shall mean ownership of Interests in a Series by a Person, whether the Interests are held directly or indirectly (including by a nominee), and shall include Interests that would be treated as owned through the application of Sections 856(h)(1) and/or 544 of the Code, as modified by Sections 856(h)(1)(B) and 856(h)(3) of the Code, provided, however, that in determining the number of Interests Beneficially Owned by a Person, no Interest shall be counted more than once. The terms “Beneficial Owner,” “Beneficially Owns” and “Beneficially Owned” shall have the correlative meanings.

 

One Hundred Members Date” means the first day on which Interests of any Series are beneficially owned by 100 or more Persons within the meaning of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code.

 

2. Ownership Limitations related to REIT Qualification

 

(a) Basic Restrictions Applicable to Series to be Taxed as REITs.

 

(i) No Person, other than an Excepted Holder, shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Interests in a Series in excess of the REIT Aggregate Ownership Limit and (3) no Excepted Holder shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Interests in a Series in excess of the Excepted Holder Limit for such Excepted Holder.

 

(ii) No Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Interests in a Series to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Interests in a Series would result in the Company being “closely held” within the meaning of Section 856(h) of the Code (without regard to whether the ownership interest is held during the last half of a taxable year, and (2) no Person shall Beneficially Own or Constructively Own Interests in a Series to the extent that such Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Interests in a Series would result in the Company otherwise failing to qualify as a REIT (including, but not limited to, Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership that (A) would result in the Company owning (actually or Constructively) an interest in a tenant that is described in Section 856(d)(2)(B) of the Code or (B) would cause any income of the Company that would otherwise qualify as “rents from real property” for purposes of Section 856(d) of the Code to fail to qualify as such (including, but not limited to, as a result of causing any entity that the Company intends to treat as an “eligible independent contractor” within the meaning of Section 856(d)(9)(A) of the Code to fail to qualify as such), in either case causing the Company to fail to satisfy any of the gross income requirements of Section 856(c) of the Code).

 

(iii) During the period commencing on the One Hundred Members Date, any Transfer of Interests in a Series that, if effective, would result in the Interests in a Series being beneficially owned by fewer than 100 Persons (determined under the principles of Section 856(a)(5) of the Code) shall be void ab initio, and the intended transferee shall acquire no rights in such Interests in a Series.

 

 
47

 

 

(b) Remedies for Breach . If the Managing Member shall at any time determine in good faith that a Transfer or Non-Transfer Event has taken place that results in a violation of Exhibit C or that a Person intends to acquire or has attempted to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of any Interests in a Series in violation of Exhibit C (whether or not such violation is intended), the Managing Member shall take such action as it deems advisable to refuse to give effect to or to prevent such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event or otherwise prevent such violation, including, without limitation, causing the Company to redeem interests, refusing to give effect to such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event on the books of the Company or instituting proceedings to enjoin such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event; provided, however, that any Transfer or attempted Transfer or other event in violation of Section 4.5 (or Non-Transfer Event that results in a violation of Exhibit C) shall automatically result in the transfer to the Trust described above, and, where applicable, such Transfer (or Non-Transfer Event) shall be void ab initio as provided above irrespective of any action (or non-action) by the Managing Member. Nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Managing Member to grant a waiver as may be permitted under Exhibit C.

 

(c) Notice of Restricted Transfer. Any Person who acquires or attempts or intends to acquire Beneficial Ownership or Constructive Ownership of Interests in a Series that will or may violate Exhibit C shall immediately give written notice to the Company of such event or, in the case of such a proposed or attempted transaction, give at least 15 days prior written notice, and shall provide to the Company such other information as the Company may request in order to determine the effect, if any, of such Transfer or Non-Transfer Event on the Company’s qualification as a REIT.

 

(d) Exceptions. Subject to Exhibit C the Managing Member, in its sole discretion, may exempt (prospectively or retroactively) a Person from the Aggregate Ownership Limit, as the case may be, and may establish or increase an Excepted Holder Limit for such Person. The provisions of Exhibit C will not apply to any Series that the Company does not intend to be taxed as a REIT

1. Purchase and Sale. Buyer agrees to buy and Seller agrees to sell to Buyer (on the terms and conditions set forth below) Model Montour constructed or to be constructed on the following described property:

 

Lot 30 of Block G Section/Phase 4/of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat of Hays County, Texas (the "County").

 

Address: 274 Gabbro Gardens San Marcos TX 78656

 

The above described property is sometimes referred to herein as the "Homesite." The Homesite and the residence and improvements constructed or to be constructed, including all appurtenances thereto, are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Home". The Home is located within the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

2. Purchase Price and Payments. The total purchase price ("Total Purchase Price") for the Home, exclusive of any Closing Costs as described below, is $243,305.00. Buyer (and not a third party) has made an earnest money deposit upon the signing of this Agreement (the "Initial Deposit") of $5,000.00. Buyer shall make further payments to Seller, including but not limited to any "Additional Deposit" or "Advanced Payment" (consisting of non-refundable deposit(s) for options, extras, and upgrades) as set forth in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum attached hereto and made a part hereof. The term "Deposit" shall include the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit and Advanced Payment paid or to be paid.

 

2.1 All payments made by Buyer to Seller with respect to the Total Purchase Price (including but not limited to the Deposit) shall be paid to Seller for such purposes as Seller shall determine, and Seller shall not be required to maintain the payments in an escrow or trust account. Buyer shall have no right to interest upon the payments. If and to the extent such payments are deposited in any interest bearing account, then any interest on such payments shall inure to the benefit of Seller. At the time of Closing, the amount of the payments shall be credited to Buyer against the Total Purchase Price.

 

PROSPECTIVE BUYERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE DEPOSIT, DOWN PAYMENTS, AND OTHER ADVANCED MONEY WILL NOT BE PLACED IN A NEUTRAL ESCROW. THIS MONEY WILL BE PAID DIRECTLY TO SELLER AND MAY BE USED BY SELLER. THIS MEANS BUYER ASSUMES A RISK OF LOSING THE MONEY IF SELLER OR BUYER ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PERFORM UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

3. Builder's Fee. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the purchase of the Home, Buyer shall pay to Seller a builder's fee, equal to $1,221.00 (the "Builder's Fee"). The Builder's Fee is imposed in connection with all home sales in the Community, regardless of whether Buyer finances the purchase of the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that the Builder's Fee may not be imposed on all home sales in the Community, and Seller reserves the right to change or withdraw the Builder's Fee on subsequent home sales in the Community at any time prior to Seller's completion of construction of all homes in the Community. The Builder's Fee represents additional revenue and is intended to compensate Seller for various internal costs and expenses associated with the sales, promotion and/or development of the Community. This fee is due at Closing. The Builder's Fee is separate from any and all Closing Costs (defined herein below). While the Builder's Fee is payable, along with various other fees, costs and amounts at Closing, the Builder's Fee is not a settlement fee associated with any loan that you may obtain to finance the purchase of the Home.

Austin-SA, Texas (01-FEB-23)

 

 

4. Financing.

 

NO CONTINGENCY. If this box is checked, this is a cash transaction and not contingent on financing. Buyer agrees to provide, within five (5) calendar days from the Buyer's execution of this Agreement, financial statements or other written verification of Buyer's ability to purchase the Home with cash. If Buyer does not (in Seller's sole judgment, based on the documentation provided by Buyer to Seller) have the financial ability to purchase the Home with cash, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by refunding to Buyer any paid Deposit.

 

MORTGAGE CONTINGENCY. If this box is checked, this Agreement is contingent on Buyer obtaining a loan commitment within thirty (30) days (the "Mortgage Contingency Period") for a first mortgage loan from Lennar Mortgage, LLC (an affiliate of Seller), or another qualified institutional mortgage lender of Buyer's choice ("Lender"), with interest, term and service charges at current market rates at time of Closing (as defined below) for a borrower of Buyer's credit qualifications (the "Mortgage Contingency"). Buyer agrees to apply within five (5) calendar days from the execution of this Agreement for a loan at the then prevailing interest rate and terms. In the event Buyer chooses to obtain financing through a Lender other than Lennar Mortgage, LLC, Buyer agrees to promptly provide Seller, upon Seller's request, with the name, address and phone number of such Lender, the loan officer and the loan processor. Buyer shall furnish promptly and accurately to Lender all information and documents requested by Lender in connection with such application. If Buyer properly makes and pursues the loan application as provided herein but is unable to obtain mortgage loan financing, despite Buyer's good faith efforts to do so, and Buyer is not otherwise in default under this Agreement, and further provided that Buyer provides Seller with documentation from Lender that the loan has been declined, Buyer may cancel this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller within the Mortgage Contingency Period, in which event Seller shall refund any paid Deposit. If Buyer properly makes and pursues the loan application as provided herein but is unable to provide Seller with a copy of a written loan commitment reasonably satisfactory to Seller within the Mortgage Contingency Period, or if Buyer is at any time disapproved in writing by Lender for such loan (and Buyer does not cancel or withdraw his/her loan application), then Seller, at its sole discretion, may cancel this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, at Buyer's last known address, in which event Seller shall refund any paid Deposit made by Buyer. If this Agreement provides for a VA guaranteed or FHA-insured loan, Buyer's obligation to complete the purchase contemplated under this Agreement is subject to the VA/FHA Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

The following shall apply only if this Agreement is subject to the Mortgage Contingency, as indicated above:

 

4.1 Prequalification. Buyer may have obtained a "prequalification" from Lennar Mortgage, LLC for the purpose of determining Buyer's ability to purchase the Property. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS NOT OBLIGATED TO USE LENNAR MORTGAGE, LLC TO OBTAIN FINANCING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

 

4.2 Mortgage Loan. Unless Buyer shall have otherwise notified Seller in writing within the Mortgage Contingency Period, Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have obtained the loan commitment or agreed to purchase the Home without mortgage financing, and the Mortgage Contingency shall be deemed to have been satisfied.

 

4.3 Application. Buyer understands that any loan application required under this Agreement must be fully completed in order to obtain the mortgage loan, and Buyer will make a good faith attempt to qualify for the mortgage loan. If Buyer has a spouse who does not constitute a Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer agrees to have his/her spouse sign the mortgage documents as required by Lender. BUYER AGREES TO INCUR NO DEBT SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE HEREOF WHICH MIGHT JEOPARDIZE APPROVAL OF BUYER'S MORTGAGE LOAN. IF THE HOME IS BEING PURCHASED BY A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, OR OTHER ENTITY, BUYER AGREES TO (1) OBTAIN ANY PERSONAL ENDORSEMENTS OR GUARANTEES REQUIRED BY LENDER AND (2) PROVIDE TO LENDER AND/OR THE TITLE INSURER PROMPTLY UPON REQUEST SUCH CERTIFICATES, RESOLUTIONS OR OTHER CORPORATE, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AS MAY BE REQUIRED. Except as provided in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay all loan fees and closing costs charged by Lender in connection with the mortgage loan. Buyer will pay any prepaid interest due on the mortgage loan at the time of Closing and any amount Lender may require to be put into escrow toward the payment of property taxes and insurance on the Home. Buyer will also pay any mortgage insurance premiums (prepaid or otherwise), if required by Lender.

 

4.4 Commitment Rate and Terms. Buyer understands that the rate of interest on the mortgage is established by Lender and not by Seller and that any predictions or representations of present or future interest rate that may have been contained in any advertising or promotion by Seller are not binding. If Buyer obtains a written mortgage loan commitment and the mortgage loan commitment is subsequently withdrawn through no fault of Seller including, but not limited to, any condition to such loan commitment not being satisfied for any reason (other than failure of the Home to appraise equal to or greater than the Total Purchase Price), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have agreed to purchase the Home without mortgage financing. Buyer agrees that it will make no changes to its mortgage financing arrangement within the last thirty (30) days before Closing.

 

4.5 Appraisal. If the Lender's appraiser appraises the value of the Home for less than the Total Purchase Price, Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of such fact within three (3) calendar days from the receipt of the written appraisal. Seller shall then have the option, but not the obligation, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) allow Buyer to pay the difference between the mortgage loan proceeds and the amounts required to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and proceed to Closing (the "Additional Cash to Close Funds"); or (ii) lower the Total Purchase Price to the appraised value and Buyer shall proceed to Closing. Under no circumstances shall Buyer be excused from performance under this Agreement as a result of Lender's appraisal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement provides for a VA guaranteed or FHA insured loan, the applicable appraisal requirements are set forth in the FHA/VA Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein.

4.6 Sale of Other Residence. Buyer represents and warrants that this Agreement and the mortgage loan referenced herein, unless otherwise provided, are not and will not be subject to or contingent upon Buyer's selling and/or closing on the sale of Buyer's present residence or other property. Failure to close on the purchase of the Home will constitute a default by Buyer and the remedies available to Seller for Buyer's default under this Agreement shall apply.

 

2. Funds. Buyer shall remit to Seller the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit, and Advance Payment by check, cashier's check, or wire transfer. Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall have the right to deposit such check for the Initial Deposit without such action being deemed acceptance of this Agreement. If any such check is not paid by the bank after acceptance of this Agreement, Seller shall have the option to cancel this Agreement and declare Buyer in default. If Buyer provides any check for a Deposit in the form of Canadian currency (a "C$ check"), Seller's depository bank will convert such C$ check into a U.S. dollar amount using its currency procedures and exchange rate then in effect two (2) business days following the date of processing (the "Conversion Date") and the amount of the Deposit to be applied toward the Total Purchase Price shall be equal to the amount received by Seller from the depository bank on the Conversion Date. Seller reserves the right to charge or pass through any currency conversion-related fees or costs to the Buyer at Closing (as hereafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the balance of the Total Purchase Price plus all applicable Closing Costs (the "Closing Proceeds") shall be paid to Seller at Closing. Any funds paid by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement to Seller, including funds paid through a check or cashier's check are accepted by Seller subject to collection.

 

UNLESS A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR PAYMENT BY CASHIER'S CHECK IS RECEIVED AND APPROVED BY SELLER NOT LESS THAN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO CLOSING, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CLOSING PROCEEDS MUST BE BY FEDERAL WIRE TRANSFER IN IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BANK OR WIRE TRANSFER CHARGES AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE FEES. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS HEREIN, IF ANY DEPOSIT AND/OR CLOSING PROCEEDS ARE NOT TIMELY PAID, BUYER SHALL BE IN DEFAULT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller approves Buyer's written request to deliver a cashier's check and thereafter Buyer delivers all or any portion of the Closing Proceeds in the form of a cashier's check exceeding $25,000.00, then Buyer will not be entitled to possession of the Home until the Closing Proceeds have cleared.

 

6. Credit Information Authorization. Buyer authorizes Lender to whom Buyer has applied or is in the process of applying for a mortgage loan in connection with this transaction to disclose to Seller the information contained in any loan application, verification of deposit, income and employment, and credit reports or credit related documentation on Buyer. Buyer authorizes Seller to order one or more credit reports from a consumer reporting agency to be used in connection with this transaction. The cost of said report(s) is (are) to be paid by Buyer. Buyer authorizes Seller to forward all copies of all or any portion of such report(s) without interpretation to Lender who (at the request of Buyer) will evaluate a potential extension of credit to Buyer in connection with this transaction. Buyer authorizes Lender, and any credit bureau or other person or entity utilized or engaged by Lender, to obtain one or more consumer reports regarding Buyer and to investigate any information, reference, statement, or data, provided to Lender by Buyer or by any other person or entity, pertaining to Buyer's credit and financial status. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers ("Indemnified Parties"), Lender, and any credit bureau or other person or entity utilized or engaged by Lender or Seller, from and against any deficiencies, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, awards, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including attorneys' fees and expenses ("Claims") arising from an investigation of Buyer's credit and financial status.

 

7. Closing. Subject to Section 8, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has the right in its sole discretion to schedule the date, time and place for the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement ("Closing") and Buyer shall close on such Closing Date (the "Closing Date"). Buyer will be given notice of the Closing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Notice Period"). Seller is authorized to postpone or advance the date of Closing at its discretion. Seller must, however, give Buyer reasonable notice of the new Closing Date. Any notice of Closing may be given verbally, by telephone, telegraph, telex, facsimile, mail, e-mail, or other means of communication at Seller's option. All notices of Closing will be given to Buyer at the address or by use of the telephone number(s) or e-mail address(es) specified on page 1 of this Agreement unless Seller has received written notice from Buyer of any change therein prior to the date notice of Closing is given. Buyer's failure to receive the notice of Closing because Buyer has failed to advise Seller of any changes of address or phone number, or because Buyer has failed to pick up a letter when Buyer has been advised of an attempted delivery or for any other reason, shall not relieve Buyer of Buyer's obligation to close on the scheduled Closing Date, unless Seller otherwise agrees in writing to postpone the Closing Date. If Buyer fails, for any reason, to close at the date, time and place specified by Seller, Seller shall have the option to declare Buyer in default and seek the remedies stated below, or to charge Buyer $100 per day for each day after the date of Closing specified by Seller until, and including, the actual Closing Date, and Seller may require that prorations be made as of the original Closing Date. This sum shall be due and payable in full at Closing. If Seller agrees to an extension of the date of Closing beyond the last day of the month for which Closing is originally set, an additional amount equal to Two Percent (2%) of the Total Purchase Price shall be payable to Seller. The sum for extending the date of Closing beyond the last day of the month shall be due and payable in full at the Closing. Buyer agrees that the late charges are appropriate in order to cover Seller's administrative and other expenses resulting from a delay in Closing and that the amount of liquidated damages is fixed and agreed to by the parties as a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller shall suffer and is not in the nature of a penalty. Seller is not required to agree to reschedule Closing, but Seller may reschedule Closing in Seller's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 4 above, if the Mortgage Contingency box is checked above, Seller will agree to postpone Closing and not impose late charges to the extent such postponement is required in order for Buyer's Lender to meet any pre-closing waiting period required as the result of Buyer's Lender's issuance of revised closing disclosures under 12 C.F.R. § 1026.19(f)(2)(ii) of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule when such revisions directly result from a Seller action taken within six (6) calendar days of the Closing Date. However, in such event, Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer for failure to deliver the Home on the originally scheduled Closing Date.

 

8. Completion Date. Seller is obligated to complete and does agree that the construction of the Home shall be completed not later than two (2) years from the date of Buyer's execution of this Agreement ("Outside Date"), subject only to delays caused by matters recognized by the laws of the state in which the Home is located as a defense to a contract action for non-performance or a delay in performance. As an accommodation to the Buyer, Seller has provided an estimated completion date that occurs prior to the Outside Date. It is expressly agreed by Buyer that notwithstanding anything to the contrary specified herein or verbally represented (including but not limited to Seller's sales representative), any estimated completion date is a good faith estimate only. Seller cannot guarantee that completion will occur before the Outside Date, but will endeavor to substantially complete the Home by the estimated completion date. Buyer agrees that Buyer has not relied, and will not rely upon, any estimated completion date for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, relocation of residence, storage of personal property, or lock-in financing, and Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be liable for any additional costs, expenses, or damages whatsoever should the Home not be completed by the estimated completion date. It is the express intent of the parties that the rights and obligations under this Agreement be construed in the manner necessary to exempt this Agreement and the sale of the Home from registration under the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, and both Buyer and Seller hereby expressly waive any right or provision of this Agreement that would otherwise preclude such exemption.

9. Casualty Before Closing. If the Home is damaged by fire, vandalism, act of terrorism or other casualty or condition before Closing and the cost of restoration does not exceed three percent (3%) of the Total Purchase Price and repairs will not substantially delay Closing, Seller shall repair the damage and Closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer agrees that, if the casualty or condition occurs during construction, that Seller is only obligated to restore or repair the affected part of the Home to as-new condition and that Seller is under no obligation to disclose to Buyer the fact of repair or restoration or the casualty or condition that necessitated the repair or restoration. If the cost of restoration exceeds three percent (3%) of the Total Purchase Price or the repairs would substantially delay Closing, Buyer shall have the option to: (1) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit made by Buyer to Seller, in which event both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement, or (2) have Seller repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible, and Closing shall be extended until such repair or rebuilding is complete.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or a portion of the Home is damaged by fire, vandalism, act of terrorism or other casualty or condition and the repair or reconstruction of the Home substantially in accordance with the pre-existing plans and specifications is rendered impossible by any cause recognized by the law of the state in which the Home is located as a defense to a contract action for non-performance, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit made by Buyer to Seller in which event both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement.

 

10. Deed. Seller shall convey title to Buyer at Closing by delivery to Buyer of a Special Warranty Deed (the "Deed") describing the Home, which Deed shall convey title to Buyer subject to all matters described in this Agreement. The Deed shall be recorded and shall include, without limitation, provisions requiring that any dispute be submitted to alternative dispute resolution.

 

11. Closing and Title Matters. Title to the Home to be delivered to Buyer at Closing will be marketable and insurable, subject only to the following matters:

 

11.1 Closing Costs. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IN ADDITION TO THE TOTAL CASH TO CLOSE (WHICH AMOUNT IS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT ADDENDUM), BUYER SHALL PAY CERTAIN OTHER FEES AND CLOSING COSTS, IF ANY, AT CLOSING. IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ITEMS LISTED BELOW WILL COLLECTIVELY BE REFERRED TO AS "CLOSING COSTS." NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE CASE OF AN FHA/VA OR FANNIE MAE LOAN, BUYER SHALL NOT PAY FOR ANY COSTS PROHIBITED BY HUD (FHA), VA OR FANNIE MAE REGULATIONS. ALL REFERENCES TO "PRO RATA SHARES" WILL BE DEEMED A TIME PRO RATION, BASED ON THE DATE OF CLOSING, WITH BUYER PAYING AMOUNTS ACCRUED ON AND AFTER THE DATE OF CLOSING. The Closing Costs include, but may not be limited to:

 

11.1.1 The premium for a policy of mortgagees' title insurance, any real property transfer taxes in connection with the transfer of the Home, the cost of the documentary stamp taxes or other taxes on the Deed, and the cost to record the Deed. Should the settlement charges that VA does not allow Buyer to pay exceed the amount, if any, to be paid by Seller, Seller at its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement and refund Buyer's earnest money. Should the settlement charges that FHA does not allow Buyer to pay exceed the amount, if any, to be paid by Seller, Buyer may either pay the additional settlement charges or the interest rate on the loan will increase to an interest rate attainable with the settlement charges to be paid by Seller. In the event that Buyer decides to lock in the interest rate and points prior to closing, Buyer agrees to pay the difference between the market rate and the lock-in rate as of the date that the loan rate is locked.

 

11.1.2 Customary closing costs of a Buyer of a single family residence, including but not limited to items such as loan fees, loan closing costs and all other related sums, attorneys' fees, escrows for taxes and insurance, recording fees, documentary stamp taxes on the note, intangible taxes, credit reports and PMI insurance, if applicable, charged by the Lender or otherwise customary for a Buyer at Closing.

 

11.1.3 Document preparation fee, delivery charges, Closing fee and any other Closing expenses of Buyer.

 

11.1.4 All additional costs respecting the Home imposed by any governmental authority.

 

11.1.5 The cost of any obligations Buyer incurs not provided for in this Agreement.

 

11.1.6 The cost of a survey of the Home.

 

11.1.7 Current expenses of the Home (for example: taxes, special assessments and current monthly assessments to one or more homeowner's associations) will be adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing date. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any prepaid expenses of the Home such as utility deposits, insurance premiums, local interim service fees, cable fees, assessments and capital contributions made to one or more homeowners' associations, paid by Seller in advance and/or for the month in which the Closing date occurs.

 

11.1.8 If real estate taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs are assessed in the aggregate on the real estate comprising the portion of the Community (including the Home) rather than on a homesite-by-homesite basis, Seller will pay such taxes in full when due, but Buyer will reimburse Seller at the Closing for Buyer's pro rata share of such taxes from the Closing date (if such taxes are then known) or the Home's allocable share (so prorated) of Seller's estimate of those taxes (if such taxes are not then known), subject to readjustment at either the request of Seller or Buyer within six (6) months from when the actual tax bill is known. If taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs are assessed on a homesite-by-homesite basis but such taxes are not due on the Closing date, Buyer will be responsible for paying such tax bill in full when due but Seller will reimburse Buyer at the Closing for Seller's pro rata share of such taxes (if the taxes are then known) or Seller's estimate of those taxes (if such taxes are not then known) through the Closing date, subject to readjustment at either the request of Seller or Buyer within six (6) months from when the actual bill is known. If the Closing takes place after Seller has paid the taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs, Buyer will reimburse Seller at the Closing for Buyer's pro rata share of those taxes from and after the Closing date.

11.1.9 The cost of any modifications or changes which are incurred by Seller as a result of changes in building codes, governmental rules, regulations or requirements, or the enforcement of any of the same, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall be paid by Buyer at the time of Closing.

 

11.1.10 Any fees resulting from or associated with an offsite closing, or an accelerated or expedited closing, if such fees are incurred as a result of any action or inaction of Buyer.

 

11.2 Title Insurance. Buyer is instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an abstract of title for the Home and to have an attorney review it before Closing. Buyer is also instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an owner's title policy from any title company of Buyer's choice. If Buyer desires, Buyer may use the title company customarily used by Seller, but it is ultimately Buyer's choice. Please review this Agreement and the Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement for additional provisions related to this topic.

 

11.3 Title to the Home shall be subject to the following: (1) zoning, building codes, bulkhead laws, ordinances, regulations, rights or interests vested in the United States of America or the state in which the Community is located; (2) real estate taxes and other taxes for the year of conveyance and subsequent years including taxes or assessments of any special taxing or community development district (including assessments relating to capital improvements and bonds); (3) the general printed exceptions contained in an owner's title insurance policy; (4) utility easements, sewer agreements, telephone agreements, cable agreements, telecommunications agreements, monitoring agreements, restrictions and reservations common to any plat affecting title to the Home; (5) matters that would be disclosed by an accurate survey or inspection of the Home; (6) this Agreement, including all addenda; (7) any laws and restrictions, covenants, conditions, limitations, reservations, agreements or easements recorded in the public records for the County (for example, use limitations and obligations, easements (right- of-way) and agreements relating to telephone, gas or electric lines, water and sewer lines and drainage, provided they do not prevent use of the Home for single family residential purposes); (8) minor encroachments on easements that do not substantially interfere with an easement holder's interest in the Home; and (9) acts done or suffered by Buyer and any mortgage or deed of trust obtained by Buyer for the purchase of the Home. It is Buyer's responsibility to review and become familiar with each of the foregoing title matters, some of which are covenants running with the land. If any title defects are discovered by Buyer after Closing, Buyer's sole remedy shall be to make a claim to Buyer's title insurer.

 

11.4 Seller shall convey title to Buyer at Closing by delivery to Buyer of the Deed, which shall convey title to Buyer subject to all matters described in this Agreement. Any such matters omitted from the Deed shall nevertheless be deemed to be included in the Deed.

 

11.5 Seller shall provide an affidavit complying with the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, upon written request of Buyer.

 

11.6 Seller may not own title to the Home as of the date of this Agreement or at Closing. However, Seller shall obtain title to the Home on or before the Closing Date or effect the necessary transfer of title on or before the date when Seller causes title to be transferred to Buyer.

 

11.7 If Seller cannot provide marketable and insurable title as described above, such failure shall not be an event of default and Seller will have a reasonable period of time (at least one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the scheduled Closing Date) to attempt to correct any defects in title; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expense, nor institute any litigation, to clear title to the Home. If Seller cannot or elects not to correct the title defects, Seller shall so notify Buyer within such period, and Buyer may thereafter elect (by written notice from Buyer to Seller) one of the following two (2) options: (1) to accept title in the condition offered (with defects) and pay the balance of the Total Purchase Price for the Home (without set off or deduction therefor), thereby waiving any claim with respect to such title defects and Buyer will not make any claims against Seller because of the title defects; or (2) to terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit deposited hereunder. If all such amounts are refunded, Buyer agrees to accept it as full payment of Seller's liability hereunder, whereupon this Agreement shall be terminated and Seller shall thereafter be relieved and released of all further liability hereunder. Buyer shall not thereafter have any rights to make any additional claims against Seller. In the event Buyer does not notify Seller in writing within five (5) calendar days from the receipt of Seller's notice (time being strictly of the essence) as to which option Buyer elects, Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have elected option (1) set forth above in this subsection.

 

11.8 The acceptance of the Deed by Buyer shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to this Agreement.

 

11.9 Title to the Home will be deemed marketable if an owner's policy is issued with standard exceptions.

 

12. Site, Selections and Substitutions. The materials, equipment and fixtures included in and to be used in constructing the Home will be substantially the same as or similar in quality to those described in the applicable plans and specifications (except as to extras, options and/or upgrades).

 

12.1 Lot Change. In the event that Seller, in its sole discretion, determines that the model of the house selected under this Agreement cannot reasonably be built on the Homesite, then Buyer and Seller hereby agree that they will negotiate in good faith to relocate the Home to another lot in the Community, provided however that there are lots available for sale. If no replacement lot is available, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement within fourteen (14) days of notice that a replacement lot is unavailable and will be entitled to a refund of any paid Deposit.

12.2 Decorative and Landscaping Items. Buyer understands and agrees that certain of the finishing items, such as tile, marble, carpet, cabinets, stone, brickwork, wood, paint, stain and mica are subject to size and color variations, grain and quality variations, and may vary in accordance with price, availability and changes by manufacturers from those shown in the model, if any, or in illustrations or brochures or those included in the specifications. Furthermore, Seller has the right, without notice to Buyer, to substitute materials or equipment of comparable quality, utility or color as the Seller might deem appropriate. Without limiting the Seller's ability to exercise this right, Seller may exercise this right, in its sole discretion and option whenever Seller shall determine it is necessary or expedient to do so.

 

13. Buyer's Default. In the event of Buyer's default and to the extent allowed by law, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and keep, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Buyer's Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Total Purchase Price, except that Seller may, in addition, keep, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 100 percent (100%) of the Advanced Payments made by Buyer to Seller for options, extras or upgrades for which Seller has made contractual commitments or incurred liability by placing orders or otherwise. Buyer agrees that actual damages in the event of breach by Buyer would be costly and difficult to calculate and that such liquidated damages are a fair and reasonable remedy and shall not be considered a penalty.

 

14. Seller's Default. In the event of Seller's default and to the extent allowed by law, Buyer may recover actual damages only and shall be not entitled to special, consequential or punitive damages, all of which the right to recover or claim Buyer hereby expressly waives. Buyer and Seller expressly agree that actual damages shall not include and shall not be interpreted to include, in any way, any attorneys' fees or costs or expert/consultant fees or costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer retains all remedies at law and in equity with respect to Seller's obligation to complete the Home within two (2) years as set forth in this Agreement.

 

15. Mediation / Arbitration of Disputes.

 

15.1 Dispute Resolution. The parties to this Agreement specifically agree that it is their desire to efficiently and quickly resolve any disputes that arise, that this transaction involves interstate commerce, and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. "Disputes" (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims: (1) arising under, or related to, this Agreement, the Home, the Community or any dealings between Buyer and Seller; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Seller or Seller's representative; (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer's children or other occupants of the Home, or in the Community; or (4) relating to issues of formation, validity or enforceability of this Section.

 

15.2 Mediation. If the parties are unable to agree to a mediator, the parties will utilize the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for this role. The parties expressly agree that the mediator's charges shall be equally shared and that each party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees, including attorneys' fees and consultant fees incurred in connection with the mediation.

 

15.3 Arbitration. If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA's Construction Industry Arbitration Rules. In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Disputes would be barred by the applicable statute(s) of limitations, which such statute(s) of limitations the parties expressly agree apply to any Disputes. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on both parties. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the non-contesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if a party fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award.

 

15.4 BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING (WHICHEVER MAY APPLY) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN TWO YEARS AND ONE DAY FROM THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, SO THAT IF THE LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN THAT STATED PERIOD, THE DISPUTE IS BARRED AND WAIVED. FOR ARBITRATION PURPOSES, A CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL ACCRUE AS PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE FOR THE INSTITUTION OF A LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDING; AND IF THERE IS NO APPLICABLE STATUTE, THEN THE CAUSE OF ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE BUYER'S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, ACCRUES ON DISCOVERY OF THE INJURY.

15.5 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Buyer and Seller further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties and then only as between those parties.

 

15.6 The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Section shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. Buyer and Seller further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Seller's affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Seller may, at its sole election, include Seller's contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer or surety as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

15.7 BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE PARTIES MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS REGARDING MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT BE AWARDED ON CLASS-WIDE OR MASS-PARTY BASIS OR OTHERWISE AFFECT PARTIES WHO ARE NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. NOTHING IN THE FOREGOING PREVENTS SELLER FROM EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN THE MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION THOSE PERSONS OR ENTITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE.

 

15.8 Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

Buyer and Seller specifically consent to arbitrate in accordance with this entire Section 15 of this Agreement.

16. Other Dispute Resolutions. Notwithstanding the parties' obligation to submit any Dispute to mediation and arbitration, in the event that a particular dispute is not subject to the mediation or the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, then the parties agree to the following provisions: BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT JUSTICE WILL BEST BE SERVED IF ISSUES REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT ARE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING, AND NOT A JURY. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND NOT A JURY. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. SELLER HEREBY SUGGESTS THAT BUYER CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OF BUYER'S CHOICE IF BUYER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT. For any Dispute that involves a claimed amount of less than $10,000, the parties may agree to litigate the Dispute before a judge in a court of small claims; however, any appeal of the judgment rendered in the small claims court will be subject to the mediation and arbitration provisions set forth in this Section.

 

17. Deed Restriction. The alternative dispute provisions above shall be set forth in the Deed and shall be binding upon Seller, Buyer, and all subsequent grantees, purchasers, successors and assigns as covenants and restrictions running with the land.

 

18. Construction Activities. ALL OWNERS, OCCUPANTS AND USERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE HEREBY PLACED ON NOTICE THAT (1) SELLER AND/OR ITS AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, LICENSEES AND OTHER DESIGNEES, AND/OR (2) ANY OTHER PARTIES, WILL BE, FROM TIME TO TIME, CONDUCTING BLASTING, EXCAVATION, CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO THE COMMUNITY. BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR DEED OR OTHER CONVEYANCE OR MORTGAGE, LEASEHOLD, LICENSE OR OTHER INTEREST, AND BY USING ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY, EACH SUCH OWNER, OCCUPANT AND USER AUTOMATICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES, STIPULATES AND AGREES (1) THAT NONE OF THE AFORESAID ACTIVITIES SHALL BE DEEMED NUISANCES OR NOXIOUS OR OFFENSIVE ACTIVITIES, HEREUNDER OR AT LAW GENERALLY, (2) NOT TO ENTER UPON, OR ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER PERSONS UNDER THEIR CONTROL OR DIRECTION TO ENTER UPON (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ENTRY IS A TRESPASS OR OTHERWISE) ANY PROPERTY WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO THE AREA OF THE COMMUNITY WHERE SUCH ACTIVITY IS BEING CONDUCTED (EVEN IF NOT BEING ACTIVELY CONDUCTED AT THE TIME OF ENTRY, SUCH AS AT NIGHT OR OTHERWISE DURING NON-WORKING HOURS), (3) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED OR NOT PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER AND THE OTHER AFORESAID RELATED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES (COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE), INJURIES OR DEATHS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE AFORESAID ACTIVITIES, EXCEPT RESULTING DIRECTLY FROM SELLER'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (4) ANY PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN AND WILL BE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOREGOING AND (5) THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SELL, CONVEY, AND/OR ALLOW THE USE OF THE HOME.

19. Dangerous Condition; No right to Enter; No Communications with Subcontractors

 

19.1 Buyer understands and agrees that the Home is a construction site and that the Home and the improvements, equipment and supplies thereon constitute a danger to those who may enter upon the site. Buyer and Buyer's guests, including, but not limited to friends, Buyer's independent contractors, consultants, family members and minor children (collectively "Buyer's Guests"), shall not enter onto the Home or Homesite prior to Closing unless authorized in writing and accompanied by Seller's representative. Any unauthorized, unaccompanied entry by Buyer or Buyer's Guests shall constitute a breach and default of this Agreement by Buyer, at Seller's election. Moreover, any entry by Buyer or Buyer's Guests onto the Home or Homesite prior to Closing shall be done at Buyer's own risk and in compliance with all federal, state and local safety laws and regulations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer waives, releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claims made by Buyer's Guests as a direct or indirect result of any such unauthorized, unaccompanied entry onto the Home or Homesite.

 

19.2 Buyer acknowledges that all matters pertaining to the initial construction of the Home will be performed by Seller and Seller's subcontractors and vendors who are performing the work under contracts with Seller. For reasons of safety and to comply with liability and insurance requirements imposed upon Seller, Buyer agrees that supervision and direction of the working forces, including, without limitation, all contractors and subcontractors, is to be done exclusively by Seller, and Buyer agrees not to issue any instructions to the working forces or otherwise hinder construction or installation of improvements on the Home. Buyer shall not do or have any work done on the Home, nor may Buyer store any possessions thereon, prior to Closing and transfer of title to the Home to Buyer.

 

19.3 Without limiting the applicability of this Section to all obligations, representations and covenants of Buyer hereunder, Buyer specifically acknowledges that any breach by Buyer of the terms and conditions contained within this Section shall be deemed to be a "material breach" and shall entitle Seller to declare this Agreement to be in default in accordance with the provisions of the Buyer's Default Section in this Agreement. Seller's failure to promptly take any action with respect to Buyer's breach of the terms and conditions contained herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Seller's rights or remedies hereunder. Whenever this Agreement shall require Seller to complete or substantially complete an item of construction, unless provided specifically to the contrary herein, such item shall be deemed complete or substantially complete when so completed, in the sole and unfettered opinion of Seller. Without limiting Seller's rights contained within the Site and Substitutions Section in this Agreement, should Seller fail to provide any item of construction required to be provided or any option, extra and/or upgrade, Buyer's sole remedy therefore will be to collect an amount from Seller equal to Seller's cost for such item and for Seller's cost of installation of such item had such item been installed at the appropriate time during construction. Without limiting Seller's rights and Buyer's obligations contained within this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement, should any warranted defects in workmanship or materials be discovered before or after the Closing, Buyer agrees that Buyer's sole remedy therefore is for Seller to, at Seller's sole and absolute discretion, either repair or replace the defective item. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller disclaims any liability for incidental or consequential damages that may arise from a defective item.

 

20. Inspection of the Home. BUYER WILL BE GIVEN A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE HOME WITH SELLER'S REPRESENTATIVE PRIOR TO CLOSING, AND AT THAT TIME BUYER WILL SIGN A "NEW HOME ORIENTATION LIST" STATING ANY DEFECTS IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS OR INCOMPLETE ITEMS WHICH BUYER DISCOVERS. ANY DEFECTS OR INCOMPLETE ITEMS NOT SO LISTED WHICH ARE APPARENT OR VISIBLE SHALL BE DEEMED ACCEPTED BY BUYER AND ANY CLAIM RELATED THERETO FOREVER WAIVED. IF ANY ITEM LISTED IS ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS IN SELLER'S OPINION (IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS PREVALENT FOR A SIMILAR HOME IN THE COUNTY), SELLER WILL BE OBLIGATED TO CORRECT THOSE DEFECTS AT SELLER'S COST WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME AFTER CLOSING, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT SELLER'S OBLIGATION TO CORRECT WILL NOT BE A GROUND FOR DEFERRING THE CLOSING, NOR FOR ANY SETOFF, NOR FOR IMPOSING ANY CONDITION ON CLOSING AS LONG AS THE HOME IS HABITABLE. THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION OR USE SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF HABITABILITY. BUYER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO REQUIRE ESCROWS OR HOLD BACKS OF CLOSING FUNDS OR ANY CASH TO CLOSE, AND NONE WILL BE PERMITTED. IF BUYER FAILS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PRE-CLOSING INSPECTION ON THE TIME AND DATE SCHEDULED BY SELLER, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THE RIGHT TO SUBMIT A NEW HOME ORIENTATION LIST TO SELLER.

 

21. Natural Disasters. Seller builds homes to the building code in effect at the time the building permit is applied for Buyer's Home. Building code requirements do not guarantee a home can or will withstand the impacts of a natural disaster; including but not limited to earthquake, forest fire, tornado, hurricane flood, and avalanche. Seller cannot guarantee the Home; its structure or features will not be impacted by a natural disaster. Buyer should review their applicable homeowner's and/or flood insurance policy(s) and consult their insurance professional for additional information. Buyer is urged to follow the advice and direction from local emergency management officials regarding a natural disaster.

 

Buyer understands and agrees to accept the risks and conditions of natural disasters and to assume all liabilities associated with them. By executing and delivering this Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released Seller and Seller's affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any and all liability or claims resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience, displacement, property damage, personal injury and/or death to or suffered by Buyer or any of its family members, occupants, guests, tenants, invitees and/or pets and any other person or pet.

 

22. Representation of Compliance with OFAC Regulations: Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer is not barred from doing business with U.S. entities pursuant to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control ("OFAC"), including OFAC's Specially-Designated-Nationals ("SDN") list and lists of known or suspected terrorist organizations. If Seller identifies or is informed that Buyer is a valid match for OFAC's SDN list, then this Agreement is void, and Seller shall cancel and revoke this Agreement immediately. In the event of cancellation or revocation of this Agreement under this provision, Seller shall immediately contact OFAC to report the transaction and to determine whether deposit money provided by Buyer, if any, should be returned or blocked, consistent with OFAC regulations.

23. Agreement not to be Recorded. Buyer covenants that Buyer shall not record this Agreement (or any memorandum thereof) in the Public Records of the County. Buyer agrees, if Buyer records this Agreement, to pay all of Seller's attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in removing the cloud in title caused by such recordation. Seller's rights under this Section shall be in addition to Seller's remedies for Buyer's default provided elsewhere in this Agreement. Notwithstanding, Seller reserves the right to record this Agreement, any addenda, in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

24. Transfer, Assignment and Persons Bound. Buyer agrees that Buyer will not, and does not have the right to, assign, sell or transfer Buyer's interest in this Agreement (whether voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise) without Seller's prior written consent. If Buyer is a corporation, other business entity, trustee or nominee, a transfer of any material equity or beneficial or principal interest shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement. If Buyer attempts to assign this Agreement in violation of this Section, Seller can declare Buyer in default and Seller shall be entitled to all remedies available under this Agreement. Buyer agrees that Seller may withhold its consent with or without any reason or condition in any manner it chooses (if it gives it at all) and may charge Buyer a reasonable amount to cover administrative costs incurred in considering whether or not to grant consent. If Buyer dies or in any way loses legal control of his/her affairs, this Agreement will bind his/her heirs and legal representatives. If Buyer has received Seller's permission to assign or transfer this Agreement, then Buyer's approved assignees shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If more than one person signs this Agreement as Buyer, each such person shall be jointly and severally liable for full performance of all of Buyer's duties and obligations hereunder.

 

25. Time of the Essence. Buyer acknowledges that time is of the essence in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

 

26. Interpretation and Computation of Time. The use of the masculine gender in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the feminine or neuter gender, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, whenever the context so requires. This Agreement reflects the negotiated agreement of the parties. Each party acknowledges that they have been afforded the opportunity to seek competent legal counsel, and each have made an informed choice as to whether or not to be represented by legal counsel. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed as if both parties jointly prepared it, and no presumption against one party or the other shall govern the interpretation or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the time periods of fewer than five (5) days shall, in the computation thereof, exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Any reference in this Agreement to time periods of five (5) days or more shall, in computation thereof, include Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. If the last day of any such period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the period shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. on the next full business day. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning, interpretation or scope of the provisions which follow them.

 

27. Notice. Unless expressly set forth otherwise in any particular provision of this Agreement, all written notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given by a party when delivered to the address identified on Page 1 of this Agreement in one or more of the following methods: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) one day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier service; or (c) when delivered by electronic transmission with electronic confirmation. Buyer is responsible for providing written notice to Seller of any address change. All written notices shall be effective when sent in the manner above even if receipt is refused.

 

28. Waiver. Seller's waiver of any of its rights or remedies shall not operate to waive any other of Seller's rights or remedies or to prevent Seller from enforcing the waived right or remedy in another instance.

 

29. Survival. Buyer and Seller specifically agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the rights and obligations as set forth in all provisions and disclaimers in this Agreement shall survive (1) the Closing of the purchase of the Home; (2) the termination of this Agreement by either party; or (3) the default of this Agreement by either party, unless expressly stated otherwise.

 

30. Incorporation and Severability. In the event that any portion of any clause or provision of this Agreement shall be void or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by law to give meaning to the parties' intent. In the event that any clause or provision of this Agreement, in its entirety, shall be void and unenforceable, it shall deemed deleted so that the balance of this Agreement is enforceable.

 

31. Governing Law. Any disputes that develop under this Agreement or questions regarding the interpretation of this Agreement will be settled according to the law of the state where the Home is located to the extent federal law is not applicable.

 

32. Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. IF NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD, PLEASE SEEK COMPETENT LEGAL ADVICE. BUYER CERTIFIES THAT BUYER HAS READ EVERY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES EACH RIDER AND ADDENDUM ATTACHED HERETO AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH EACH SUCH RIDER AND ADDENDUM, CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER. PRIOR AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, UNDERSTANDINGS, AND ORAL STATEMENTS NOT REFLECTED IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE NO EFFECT AND ARE NOT BINDING ON SELLER. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, NEWSPAPERS, RADIO OR TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS, WARRANTIES, STATEMENTS, OR ESTIMATES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, MADE BY SELLER, SALES PERSONS, AGENTS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CO- OPERATING BROKERS (IF ANY) OR OTHERWISE EXCEPT AS HEREIN SPECIFICALLY REPRESENTED. BUYER HAS BASED HIS/HER/THEIR DECISION TO PURCHASE THE HOME ON PERSONAL INVESTIGATION, OBSERVATION AND THE DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER BY SELLER OR BY THE EXERCISE OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

33. Modification. This Agreement is the entire agreement for the sale and purchase of the Home and once it is signed by both Buyer and Seller, it can only be amended by a written agreement signed by both Buyer and Seller.

34. Additional Changes. Notwithstanding Sections 32 and 33 of this Agreement, Buyer agrees that it may be necessary (at any time and from time to time) after Buyer executes this Agreement for Seller, to change the terms and provisions of this Agreement to comply with and conform to the rules and regulations (as same may exist and as same may be promulgated from time to time) of any governmental agency, developer or declarant, subdivision or authority or court of competent jurisdiction and Buyer consents to all such changes. Notwithstanding Sections 32 and 33 of this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to amend this Agreement for development or other purposes, and Buyer consents to all such amendments.

 

35. Inducement. Buyer acknowledges that the sole inducement to close on the purchase of the Home is the Home itself and not (1) the common facilities comprising part of the Community, if any, or (2) any expectation that the Home will increase in value. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Seller sells homes for personal use and enjoyment. Seller is not making, and does not condone, any representations about future income, profit, or rental potential of any home.

SUPPLY CHAIN ADDENDUM

 

THIS SUPPLY CHAIN ADDENDUM(this "Addendum") is made and entered into as of March 08, 2023 and incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the date hereof, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G of Subdivision/Plat Sunset Oaks, in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Supply Chain Disruption & Construction Delays. Buyer acknowledges that there are acute and growing supply chain disruptions that have resulted in price increases in raw materials and construction delays. While Seller is committed to honoring the Purchase Price and exempting Buyer from having to share in the resulting cost increases, the supply chain disruptions and delays create numerous obstacles to Seller in its business of building and selling homes.

 

3. Installation of Minor Items Not Required for the Issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Buyer acknowledges that due to supply chain disruptions, some items to be installed in the Home, such as cabinet drawers and doors, shower enclosures, appliances and/or other minor finishing items (collectively, "Minor Items"), may not be installed or completed by the time a certificate of occupancy ("CO") is issued for the Property. Buyer hereby agrees that Seller's inability to install or complete the Minor Items shall not delay Closing and Buyer shall proceed to Closing as scheduled by Seller provided that a CO has been issued for the Property. Buyer shall have no right to require any escrows or holdbacks at Closing relating to the Minor Items. Any escrow or holdback requirements of Buyer's lender shall be the responsibility of Buyer and paid in addition to all other proceeds due at Closing. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the installation or completion of the Minor Items to occur promptly after Closing once the appliance(s) or other required material or labor become available.

 

4. Counterparts/Signatures. This Addendum may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

5. Survival. The terms of this Addendum shall specifically survive Closing.

 

6. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall govern the parties.

 

7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

MASTER DISCLOSURE AND INFORMATION ADDENDUM TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

TEXAS

 

THIS MASTER DISCLOSURE AND INFORMATION ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III ("Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G, of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Community. This Addendum explains certain terms which are applicable to the purchase of homes within the Community. Builders other than Seller may build homes in the Community. Other builders may be added or deleted from the list of builders in the future. Seller, and any other builder in the Community, shall have the right, without notice to Buyer, to make changes to, among other things, homesite sizes, number of homes being built, size and style of homes being built, features and materials in homes being built, prices of homes (whether more or less than currently published), price per square foot of homes (whether more or less than currently published), number and size of homesites, street layout, amenity layout, and usage, location, size and number of trees, bushes and other foliage (current and future), and any other items or uses which are currently planned for the Community. Seller makes no representations or warranties that Seller will be the exclusive builder or developer in the Community or that the Community will be built out exactly as currently planned, and, if the Seller is the developer of the Community, Seller expressly reserves the right to make whatever changes it deems necessary relating to future development or build out of the Community. Any current maps or other materials showing any final or projected community development may be modified or updated in the future.

 

SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES WITH REGARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOMESITES IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY. HOMESITES IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY MAY REMAIN UNDEVELOPED AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF SELLER, OTHER BUILDERS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND/OR THE DEVELOPER OF THE COMMUNITY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES, STATED, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE WITH REGARD TO SELLER BEING THE SOLE OR EXCLUSIVE BUILDER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES, STATED, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE WITH REGARD TO CONTINUING TO BUILD IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH FINAL BUILD OUT AND/OR BUILDING UPON ANY UNDEVELOPED HOMESITE(S). FURTHERMORE, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS, ESTIMATES OR PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN CONVEYED REGARDING THE FINAL BUILD OUT TIME OF ANY UNDEVELOPED HOMESITE(S) OR THE OVERALL COMPLETION SCHEDULE OF THIS COMMUNITY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER CONSTANTLY EVALUATES THE PRICING, DESIGNS, PRODUCT MIX AND AMENITIES OF ITS COMMUNITIES AND SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING WHETHER TO CONTINUE TO BUILD HOMES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY OF THE FOREGOING IN DECIDING TO PURCHASE THE HOME.

 

3. Effect on Community of Change in Control. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may decide not to build additional homes or not pursue any further development in the Community. Buyer acknowledges that if Seller transfers control of its lots in the Community or any control of the further development of the Community, if applicable, that such transfer could have an adverse impact upon Buyer. By way of example only, if Seller transfers its interests, Buyer understands that completed or partially completed homes may remain vacant for a long period of time. Buyer further understands that the management and operation of the Community by the Association (as defined herein) could be disrupted during any transition period. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller cannot predict every impact that may be material to the Buyer and that it is imperative that Buyer make Buyer's own independent evaluation of the potential adverse impacts that may affect Buyer's decision to consummate the purchase of a home in the Community.

 

4. Financing and Closing Costs Disclosures.

 

4.1 If Buyer desires to employ an attorney to represent Buyer, then Buyer may do so at Buyer's expense.

 

4.2 Although Seller may make available to Buyer the name of one or more lenders or information about one or more available financing alternatives, Buyer agrees that the choice of a lender and loan is Buyer's sole decision, and Seller has not made any promises or representations concerning the likelihood of Buyer obtaining the loan, the terms and conditions of such loan or the interest rate or fees associated with such loan.

 

4.3 BUYER IS HEREBY ADVISED BY SELLER THAT INTEREST RATES, LOAN FEES, AND OTHER LOAN CONDITIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED, FIXED OR ESTABLISHED (AND SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ITEMS) AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY ANY LENDER. SELLER DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS OR LOAN FUNDING CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHIN LOAN LOCK PERIODS, IF ANY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOCKS ARE PAID FOR BY SELLER OR BUYER.

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

4.4 Responsibility for obtaining the loan and for satisfying all conditions made by the Lender with regard to the loan shall rest solely with the Buyer.

 

5. Document Book. Buyer acknowledges receipt of the "Document Book" for the Community as follows:

 

5.1 Buyer acknowledges receipt of, and agrees to be bound by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Sunset Oaks (the "Declaration"), the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and any Rules and Regulations of the Sunset Oaks Residential Community, Inc., all as amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively, the "Community Documents"). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that title to the Home will be subject to the Community Documents.

 

5.2 The Home will be subject to certain deed restrictions as reflected in the Special Warranty Deed executed by Seller and furnished to Buyer at Closing. The deed restrictions run with the Homesite and require, among other things, that Buyer give Seller (i) notice of Seller's defaults or any Claim (as defined therein) after Closing and (ii) an opportunity to inspect and cure defects in the Home. The deed restrictions further require the arbitration of any Claim against Seller that cannot be resolved informally.

 

5.3 Buyer acknowledges that the Document Book may contain additional provisions, that may not be specified herein, which restrict Buyer's use of the Homesite. Buyer further acknowledges the provisions of the Document Book and any such restrictions contained therein are fair and reasonable.

 

6. Association Memberships.

 

6.1 Upon conveyance and recording of the Deed to the Home, Buyer will become a member of the Sunset Oaks Residential Community, Inc., a Texas nonprofit corporation (the "Association"). Buyer agrees to accept the liability and obligations of such membership. Buyer understands that as a member of the Association, Buyer will be required to pay Assessments (as defined in the Document Book) for the maintenance of the Common Areas (as defined in the Document Book) and for such other uses and purposes as are provided for in the Document Book. Buyer also understands and agrees that a failure to pay Assessments when due could cause the Association to record a lien on the Home and to foreclose such lien. Assessments are subject to change, which may include additional increases in the manner currently provided for in the Document Book. Seller, the Association, and any other builder cannot estimate the amount or frequency of any such increase. Section 270.003, Property Code, entitles an owner to receive copies of any document that governs, the establishment, maintenance, or operation of a subdivision, including, but not limited to, statements specifying the amount and frequency of regular assessments and the style and cause number of lawsuits to which the Association is a party, other than lawsuits relating to ad valorem taxes of an individual member of the Association. To the extent not already provided, these documents must be made available to you by the Association or its agents on your request.

 

6.2 Buyer acknowledges that nominees of Seller, the developer of the Community may serve as the initial officers and directors of the Association. The officers and directors and the management company, which may be an affiliate of Seller, are authorized by Buyer to act for and on the behalf of the Association. Seller may, but is not required to, advance monies to the Association for operations. In the event such advances are made, they will be considered a loan from Seller, and the Association will be obligated to repay such advances as set forth in the Document Book.

 

7. Community Charges. In addition to the Closing Costs set forth in the Agreement, Buyer shall pay the following additional Closing Costs respecting the Community.

 

7.1 Association Assessments. Assessments payable to the Association ("Association Assessments"), prorated for the month in which the Closing occurs (based on the then current Association Assessments at the time of closing). Such Association Assessments are estimated to be $40.00 per month at this time. Buyer understands that the estimated operating budget for the Association is only an estimate of what it will cost to run the Association. The Association may make changes in the budget at any time to cover increases or decreases in expenses or estimates in the budget. Without limiting the generality of this Section, those changes will not give Buyer any right to cancel the Agreement.

 

7.2 Association Capitalization Fee and/or Transfer Fee. Buyer acknowledges that among other Assessments provided for in the Document Book, the Association may establish a capitalization and/or transfer fee. Currently, the capitalization fee is $250.00 and the transfer fee is $185.00. The capitalization fee and/or transfer fee may be used by Seller for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, reimbursing Seller's costs in setting up the Association and its costs of deficit funding. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the capitalization fee and/or transfer fee is not to be considered as an advance payment of Assessments. For more information on the capitalization fee and/or transfer fee, please refer to the Document Book.

 

7.3 Additional Assessments. Buyer acknowledges that there may be additional Assessments with regard to this Community, including, but not necessarily limited to a resale certificate fee. For more information on those additional Assessments, please refer to the Document Book.

8. Community Access/Gates. The Community is not a gated community and the roads in the Community are public.

 

9. Building and Use Restrictions. Every homesite is subject to building and use restrictions as set forth in the Document Book. These restrictions are subject to change without notice. Building and use restrictions may affect, among other things, residential and nonresidential uses, building specifications, accessory structures, nuisance, home occupancy, signage, antennas, satellite dishes, animals, driveways, vehicle parking, rubbish, utility and drainage easements, clothes lines, fences, special rights of Seller, any developer and homebuilder(s), leases and restoration of homesites. Buyer should carefully review the Document Book.

 

10. Building Codes and Ordinances. Every city or town has building codes and other ordinances that regulate what is permissible within its jurisdictional limits. Buyer should contact the city or town in which the Home is located prior to making changes to the Home or Homesite for further information concerning local codes and ordinances. Seller is not responsible for notifying Buyer, or any other homeowner, of the content or restrictions contained in any local codes or ordinances.

 

11. Architectural Review.

 

11.1 Buyer acknowledges that all new construction and modifications of existing construction and exteriors of improvements within the Community are subject to the prior written approval of the Architectural Control Committee of the Association (the "ACC"). Buyer agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of the ACC as the same may be amended and exist from time to time. These restrictions are subject to change without notice. Building and use restrictions include, but are not limited to, residential and nonresidential uses, building specifications, accessory structures, nuisance, home occupancy, signage, antennas, animals, driveways, vehicle parking, rubbish, utility and drainage easements, clothes lines, fences, special rights of Seller, the developer of the Community, leases and restoration of homesites. Buyer agrees not to commence any construction upon any portion of the Homesite until after the ACC has given its written approval. Buyer further agrees not to make any modifications of any existing buildings and improvements, including, but not limited to, landscaping and landscape irrigation, without the prior written approval of the ACC and until any applicable permits have been obtained. In addition, every city, county or town has building codes and other ordinances that regulate what is permissible within its jurisdictional limits. Prior to making changes to the Home or Homesite, Buyer should contact the applicable governmental authorities for further information concerning local codes and ordinances. Seller is not responsible for notifying homeowners of the content or restrictions contained in any local codes or ordinances.

 

11.2 Failure to submit plans and specifications to the ACC for approval is a violation of the provisions of the Document Book, which may result in sanctions and/or the imposition of fines, and the removal, at homeowner expense, of any non-approved modifications.

 

12. Pet Restrictions. Buyer understands that the only pets allowed in the Community are those which are in accordance with the restrictions contained in the Document Book or any amendments thereto. Buyer also acknowledges that pets may also be restricted by applicable state or municipal laws and regulations, and agrees to abide by the same.

 

13. Short-Term Rentals. Buyer acknowledges that homes in the Community may be rented for any length of time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Document Book, or that there may be certain restrictions on rentals in the Community. For more information, Seller encourages Buyer to review the Document Book or contact the Association.

 

14. Rentals. From time to time, Seller may market and sell homes in the Community to investors or to buyers who may not occupy their homes as their primary residence. Seller may also elect to lease, rather than sell, some of all of the homes that it owns within the Community. Consequently, homes in the Community may be leased to or occupied by persons other than their owners.

 

15. Flood Zone. According to the applicable Flood Insurance Rate Map ("FIRM") published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA"), some portions of the Community, including the Home, may be located in a flood zone for which Buyer's Lender may require flood insurance. Even if the Home is not currently in such a flood zone, Buyer understands that FEMA and/or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may reevaluate and change the current flood zone designations from time to time at its sole discretion. Seller makes no representations that the current flood zone designation will not change and Buyer understands that the current flood zone designation is subject to change at any time for reasons beyond Seller's control. In evaluating the flood zone designation for the Home, Buyer should not rely on oral representations as to the flood zone status of the Home and should visit www.fema.gov and/or the county or city flood map website where the Home is located. Mortgage lenders will typically require the issuance of flood insurance as a requirement for financing, which insurance must be present at Closing, or, in the event the area is reclassified, may require Buyer to obtain flood insurance at a date subsequent to Closing. Seller recommends that each Buyer of a Home protect his/her Home by obtaining proper insurance coverage. It is possible, however, for Buyer to submit documentation to FEMA to have the Home re- classified by FEMA, whereby the mortgage lender may have the option to waive the requirement of flood insurance. Buyer is solely responsible for the submission to FEMA for such re-classification and any and all expenses related to such submission. Further, Buyer acknowledges and understands that the waiver of flood insurance is at the sole discretion of the mortgage lender.

16. Bodies of Water within the Community.

 

16.1 Water Levels. THE WATER LEVELS OF LAKES, PONDS OR OTHER BODIES OF WATER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, IF ANY, MAY VARY. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE BY SELLER OR THE ASSOCIATION THAT WATER LEVELS WILL BE CONSTANT OR AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME; AT TIMES, WATER LEVELS MAY BE NONEXISTENT.

 

16.2 BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT IF THE HOME ADJOINS A WATER IMPOUNDMENT, THAT THE WATER LEVEL OF THE IMPOUNDMENT FLUCTUATES FOR VARIOUS REASONS, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF: (1) AN ENTITY LAWFULLY EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO USE THE WATER STORED IN THE IMPOUNDMENT; OR (2) DROUGHT OR FLOOD CONDITIONS.

 

16.3 Detention Pond Disclosure. One or more detention ponds may exist within the Community. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that drainage detention pond ("drainage easement") maintenance is not the Seller's responsibility. Seller makes no assurance as to the finish out of this common area. The drainage easement can and will at times be dangerous after certain natural events. Children should be advised to stay away from this area.

 

16.4 Homesite Adjacent to Creek Bed. Some homesites may be bordered by a natural creek bed. This creek bed area may remain in a natural vegetative state and as such, certain factors are inherent therein. Some factors may include, but are not limited to, the following: mosquito populations; animal life, which may include that which typically lives around creeks such as snakes, frogs, turtles, waterfowl, raccoons, possum, fish, etc. that may wander onto the homesites; water levels may dramatically vary due to rainfall amounts; odors or smells which may result from dead animal life; seasonal factors and weather conditions; vegetation such as existing native trees and shrubbery may be subject to erosion of surrounding land area and, subsequently, may fall or die as a result; and, natural erosion from waterways and wind may affect surrounding soil and, as such, existing topography may be altered.

 

17. Irrigation System. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller may provide an irrigation system serving the Homesite and that Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the source of the water for the irrigation system. In addition, the Association may install and maintain irrigation systems in some of the Common Areas. After Closing, if Buyer desires to make any alterations, improvements, or repairs to the irrigation system on the Homesite that may affect the irrigation system, it may be necessary for the Buyer to obtain prior written approval from the Association. For more information on any restrictions on alterations, improvements or repairs with regard to the irrigation system or to the Homesite that may affect the irrigation system, if any, or with regard to the installation of irrigation systems in some of the Common Areas, please refer to the Document Book.

 

18. Utilities and Drainage on the Homesite.

 

18.1 Drainage and Utility Structures. Some homesites contain or are adjacent to drainage and utility structures such as storm water overflow swales, storm water catch basins, manholes, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, switch boxes, telephone pedestals, cable television pedestals and supply boxes, and streetlights. None of these items shall be altered, obstructed, buried, modified, restricted or interfered with in any manner whatsoever.

 

18.2 Drainage and Utility Easements. An easement is the right of someone other than the land owner to use a portion of the land for a limited purpose. There are public utility and drainage easements along the perimeter of every homesite in the Community. These easements are dedicated in and shown on the recorded subdivision plats for the Community. The easements on each homesite are also shown on the individual setback and easement survey for each homesite. Nothing may be done in any utility and drainage easement area to impede the drainage of surface water or to interfere with the installation, maintenance and repair of utility lines and structures. Play structures, landscaping, accessory structures (such as small sheds) or other improvements may not be installed in the drainage and utility easement areas, because they might change the drainage pattern and/or might have to be removed, at the homeowner's expense, in order to maintain underground utility lines. No trash, waste, soil, leaves, grass clippings, or other offensive materials may be placed or stored within these easement areas. Each homeowner is required to maintain that portion of his or her yard that lies within the drainage and utility easements. An exception to this maintenance requirement exists where the drainage and utility easement covers wetlands, wetland buffers and wetland mitigation areas. For more information on drainage and utility easements contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

18.3 Homesite Easement & Plot Plan Disclosure. Seller neither infers, nor guarantees the existence or lack of easements (utility, maintenance, city, etc.) on Homesite. A preliminary plot plan is available to Buyer by request on Seller's authorized request form known as "Request for Plot Plan." Changes can and sometimes do occur to the original preliminary plot plan, the recorded plat map and/or the final survey.

 

18.4 Community Drainage Disclosure. Due to the topography of the Community, water will at times flow through the Homesite from adjacent and surrounding homesites. This is necessary to achieve positive drainage away from all applicable homesites. Buyer acknowledges that no adverse action may be taken by Buyer to alter said drainage pattern. Seller advises Buyer that some of the homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite) are or may be subject to some runoff from adjacent and surrounding homesites.

 

18.5 Retaining Wall and Drainage. Retaining walls may exist within Buyer's Homesite property lines. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, at times, water may drain over retaining walls from one homesite to another.

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

18.6 Grading and Drainage. Buyer acknowledges that the drainage for the front, rear and side yards of each lot was designed by a professional engineer to divert water away from the foundation and concrete flat work. The drainage of the yard of the Homesite may result in a swale across the front and/or back yard of the Home. As a result and in these instances, Buyer acknowledges that the front and/or back yard will not be level and that Seller will not make any adjustments to the depth or severity of the swale. In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that altering the drainage and/or over-watering will have negative effects on potentially expansive soils and will void the drainage and foundation warranty on the Home. If the drainage is altered in such a manner that water flows toward the foundation and/or concrete flat work, severe damage to one or both may result. Resulting damage may include, but not be limited to, the following: heaving in the slab, cracking of the slab, stucco cracks, cracking of driveways, front or rear yard stoops and walkways, and/or cosmetic damage or alterations of interior finishes in the home. Furthermore, over watering may also lead to same or similar results. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING SHIFTING SOILS, UNSETTLED SOILS, UNUSUAL ROCKS, OR SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS.

 

18.7 Utility Box and Related Items Disclosure. At this stage in construction, Seller may not know which homesites will receive one or more of the following: utility poles, transformer boxes (both main and secondary), cable and phone boxes, storm drains, man holes, streetlights, gas taps, underground power, water/sewer and gas lines, overhead power lines, and/or irrigation maintenance sheds. The premium amount paid for the Home, if any, does not guarantee Buyer that he or she will not receive one or more of the above mentioned items on the Homesite. Seller will not reimburse any amount of a premium paid if any of the said items are installed on the Homesite. There is a strong possibility that the back and/or side yards of the Homesite will contain underground power, gas, water or sewer lines. If Buyer plans on building a pool on the Homesite, it is Buyer's responsibility to contact the source of the underground lines. Buyer is financially responsible for having any of the underground lines moved.

 

19. Foundation Maintenance. Buyer(s) understand and acknowledge that proper inspection and maintenance of the foundation (e.g. maintaining consistent moisture levels in the yard near the foundation on a year-round basis, maintaining original drainage patterns, limiting trees and shrubbery near the foundation, maintaining proper ventilation of any crawl spaces, etc.) is critical to the structural performance of the Home's foundation. Buyer(s) also understand and acknowledge that while certain municipalities provide restrictions on the amount of water that may be used to maintain a yard, these restrictions may not apply to the use of certain equipment (e.g., soaker hoses) to properly maintain the consistency of moisture levels in the soils surrounding the Home's foundation. Failure to properly maintain consistent moisture levels, changing drainage patterns established at the time the Home is purchased, allowing excessive trees and shrubbery to grow near the foundation, or allowing excessive moisture to collect near or under the Home may result in severe damage to or failure of the Home's foundation. Buyer understands that Seller is not responsible for any damage to the foundation of the Home due to the failure of Buyer(s) to properly maintain the foundation or the soil conditions under and around the foundation, and Buyer(s) shall be responsible for any damages that may result to the Home, including but not limited to potential foundation movement, caused by Buyer(s) failure to properly maintain the foundation and the soils conditions under and around the foundation.

 

Buyers Initials:

 

 

20. Utilities in the Community.

 

20.1 Buyer acknowledges that no septic tanks shall be permitted within the Community. No wells shall be installed without the express written consent of the ACC if applicable, and all other applicable government agencies.

 

20.2 Some homesites contain or are adjacent to drainage and utility structures such as storm water overflow swales, storm water catch basins, manholes, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, switch boxes, telephone pedestals and streetlights. None of these items shall be altered, obstructed, buried, modified, restricted or interfered with in any manner whatsoever. Overflow swales are generally only utilized for overflow storm water capacity as a result of water drainage. Electrical transformers may only be landscaped to the extent permission is given by the utility provider. In some cases, water may flow from one homesite to another, and these situations are shown on the final plat. State law may provide that the owner of the homesite receiving water is required to accept the water flow and may not impede the flow of this water. In addition, the Home will be graded to provide for reasonable drainage away from the Home's foundation. The vast majority of foundation problems are caused by insufficient drainage or lack of watering of soil around the foundation. Buyer should keep Buyer's lawn well-watered to maintain consistent moisture content and avoid excess wetness, dryness or cracking of soil. The construction of curbs, decks, retaining walls, pools, spas, patios, landscape edging and similar items can also trap water within the yard area and cause structural damage to the Home's foundation. Seller strongly recommends that Buyer consult with a licensed landscape architect and civil engineer before performing any work or making any changes that may affect the existing drainage pattern.

 

20.3 Water Tower. Water tower(s) may be constructed within the Community and/or on adjacent property to serve the water storage and pressure requirements of the water provider.

 

20.4 Water Supply. The Maxwell Special Utility District provides water to the Community. Because Seller does not control the water supply, Seller cannot guarantee the quality of the water provided to the Community. In addition, this area is periodically subjected to extended periods of drought that may cause depletion of water supplies. Municipalities and other providers of water services in the area of the Community may enact mandatory or voluntary cut backs or other restrictions in water usage. Seller has no control, influence, responsibility or liability for or over decisions concerning water rationing or the rates charged for water service.

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

20.5 If Buyer has any questions about utility rates, services, safety, or anything else to do with overhead or underground transmission or utility lines, Buyer should contact the utility companies directly. Because Seller values Buyer's safety and that of Buyer's neighbors, no excavation or trenching should be done without first calling the utility companies for the location of buried utilities. There is currently no charge by the utilities for this service. This is especially important in utility easements where buried utility equipment is probable. Digging without advance notification and approval of the utility companies may be illegal, is dangerous and can result in severe personal injury or death to Buyer and Buyer's neighbors, and can also result in severe property damage to homes, property and utility equipment.

 

20.6 Easement for (and Location of) High Voltage Lines. Portions of the Community may be located within close proximity of an easement owned by a utility company. This easement may give the utility company the right to install and operate high voltage electrical transmission lines, transformers, and related equipment. Such lines and/or equipment give off electric and magnetic fields ("EMF") and may also give off audible sounds as by-products of the use of electricity. For further information regarding the possible effects of EMF, consult the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

 

20.7 Cable TV/Satellite/High Speed Internet. Seller is not responsible for the timing or selection of cable TV, satellite or high-speed internet availability throughout the Community.

 

20.8 Marketing Agreements. Seller may enter into marketing agreement(s) with third-party companies (e.g., a telecommunications provider, an energy provider, etc.) to allow them to place information about the company's services in the model home/sales office. In addition, Seller provides addresses of homes to these third-party companies. Seller receives monetary and non-monetary compensation from the third- party companies as a result of these joint marketing efforts. Seller makes no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the ability of the third-party company, and its affiliates or partners, for availability or quality of service.

 

21. Hurricanes/Tropical Storms. Seller builds homes to the building code in effect at the time the building permit is applied for Buyer's Home. Building code requirements do not guarantee a home can or will withstand the impacts of a hurricane. Seller cannot guarantee the Home, its structure or features will not be impacted by hurricane and/or tropical storm conditions. Buyer should review its applicable homeowner's and/or flood insurance policy(s) and consult an insurance professional for additional information. Buyer is urged to follow the advice and direction from local emergency management officials regarding hurricane and tropical storm events.

 

Buyer understands and agrees to accept the risks and conditions of hurricanes and tropical storms and to assume all liabilities associated with them. By executing and delivering the Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released Seller and Seller's affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any and all liability or claims resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience, displacement, property damage, personal injury and/or death to or suffered by Buyer or any of its family members, occupants, guests, tenants, invitees and/or pets and any other person or pet.

 

22. Facilities and Conditions Affecting Homesites.

 

22.1 The information set forth in this Section contains an overview of facilities and conditions which may affect some or all homesites in the Community (including but not limited to the Homesite). Because Seller does not have control over development outside of the Community, Seller does not warrant or guarantee any future development, usage, or lack of development or usage for properties located outside of the Community, or their possible impact on the residents of the Community. For additional information about offsite features that may affect the purchase of the Home, please contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

22.2 Seller advises Buyer that some of the homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite) are or may be adjacent to or near some of the following:

 

DRAINAGE CHANNEL, AIRPORT, RAILROAD TRACKS, STORM WATER DETENTION FACILITY, COMMUNITY CENTER, ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TOWER, SCHOOL FACILITY, PARK SCHOOL SITE, SPORTS FACILITY OR BALL FIELD, COMMUNITY LAKES, PARK AND/OR RECREATION FACILITY, WATER PLANT/SEWER PLANT, LIFT STATION, CELLULAR PHONE, RADIO, TELEVISION OR OTHER TOWER ANTENNA SITE, HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES OR PIPELINE EASEMENT.

 

Buyer acknowledges that such facilities may impact noise, vibration, lighting, traffic and other conditions caused by daily operations of the facility. Drainage channels, lakes and storm water detention facilities will have varying levels of water for varying periods of time depending upon rainfall.

22.3 Sewage Treatment Plant. Approximately 0.5 miles from the eastern edge of the Community, Aqua Utilities, Inc. operates a sewage treatment facility ("Facility"). Due to the Community's close proximity to the Facility, the Community may be affected by the natural consequence of having the Facility located and operated nearby. Sewage treatment plants can and will emit an unpleasant odor, gas and/or other chemicals and result in truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. Seller cannot guarantee that odors or gaseous or chemical emissions will not be noted in the future and is not responsible for odors or other nuisances which might result from the operations of this Facility and truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. As a result, Owners and occupants in the Community may be affected by odors, noise, or dust emanating from the Facility and truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. Further, the Facility's operations may, in the future, be modified or the Facility may be reconfigured and/or expanded. Because Seller does not control the Facility, Seller cannot assure Buyer that the Facility's operations will not be modified or the Facility will not be modified in the future or that any expansion of the Facility will not occur pursuant to requisite governmental approvals. Roads near the Facility and the Community may be used by trucks for the hauling of sludge from the Facility. These trucks may cause an unpleasant odor and may inconvenience traffic on such public roads.

 

22.4 Bike/Walking Path. The plans for the Community may contain limited areas for a public bike and/or walking path within the Community.

 

22.5 Perimeter Screening Wall Disclosure. Certain homesites may contain a perimeter screening wall. While Seller makes no representations regarding whether and to what extent such screening walls will be constructed, any such walls, if constructed, will replace any wood fencing described in any marketing materials dispersed by Seller.

 

22.6 Wrought Iron Fence Disclosure. Certain homesites may contain a wrought iron fence. While Seller makes no representations regarding whether or to what extent such wrought iron fences will be constructed, any such fences, if constructed, will make up part of the rear yard or side yard fencing on homes adjacent or backing to the flood plain or open space.

 

22.7 Road Improvements. Plans may exist for certain improvements to roads in or around the Community. Seller has no control over the timing of completion of the road improvements. The construction area may affect the entrances of the Community from time to time, and some lane closures may be necessary. Seller regrets any inconveniences and disruptions during this process but believes the Community will all be able to enjoy the improved roadway once the work is complete. During the period when these improvements, if any, are under construction there will be traffic hazards, interferences and inconveniences along the roads resulting from such construction. For additional information, please contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

22.8 Road Improvements. The Texas Department of Transportation currently has plans for improvements to Interstate 35 and Highway 21. Seller has no control over the timing of completion of the work. The construction area may affect the entrances of the Community from time to time, and some lane closures will be necessary. Seller regrets any inconveniences and disruptions during this process, including without limitation, increased noise, dust and alternate traffic patterns, but believes the Community will enjoy the improved roadway once the work is complete. During the period when these improvements, if any, are under construction there will be traffic hazards, interferences and inconveniences along these sections of Interstate 35 and Highway 21 resulting from such construction.

 

22.9 Major Public Roads. The Community is located near portions of Yarrington Road, Interstate 35, and Highway 21. These roads may experience heavy traffic during certain times of the day.

 

22.10 Airport. Approximately 1.5 miles from the southwestern edge of the Community is the San Marcos Regional Airport. Some flights landing at or taking off from the airport currently pass over the Community. Jets, helicopters or other aircraft may be seen or heard overhead from the Homesite or even from within the Home. The City of San Marcos may, in the future, expand the airport and its operations.

 

22.11 Agricultural Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that properties adjacent to Community are neither owned nor controlled by Seller. Some of the area around the Community may be rural in nature and there may be certain agricultural operations that Buyer may, depending upon Buyer's sensitivity, find to be an inconvenience or a nuisance. Such uses may also include hunting, fishing, and target shooting. Such agricultural uses sometimes involve the use of manure, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and rodenticides, which at times may be offensive, especially to sensitive people. Buyer is advised to take the time to drive around the area to ensure that Buyer is satisfied with all agricultural and other uses. Seller is not responsible for odors, noise or other nuisances that may originate from these adjacent properties.

 

22.12 Wild Animals. As a result of the open spaces and bodies of water in and around the Community, Buyer may periodically find wild animals within the confines of the Community including, but not limited to, skunks, armadillos, nutria, opossums, deer, raccoons, spiders, snakes, bees, fire ants, alligators and other reptiles and other insects common to the area. Contact with any wild animal can be dangerous. Should Buyer encounter any such animal, Buyer is encouraged to contact Buyer's local animal control office for further instructions.

 

22.13 Unzoned Area With Livestock. The Home and/or Community may adjoin property that is not zoned and, as such, the property is not subject to and not limited by, city codes prohibiting livestock including, but not limited to, chickens, horses, cattle, etc.

 

22.14 Communications Tower. A communications tower may exist near or adjacent to the Community. Buyer acknowledges that Seller does not own the communications tower and that it may cause inconsistencies or disruptions with Buyer's use of electronic equipment and/or device.

22.15 Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. A sanitary sewer lift station will exist near or within the Community. This lift station may emit odors at certain times. Any questions regarding the lift station should be directed to the county or municipality in which the Home is located.

 

22.16 Rock Quarry. One or more rock mining quarries (collectively the "Quarry") operates approximately 1.5 miles from the northern edge of the Community and approximately 1.6 miles from the eastern edge of the Community. Due to the Community's close proximity to the Quarry, the Community may be affected by the natural consequence of having the Quarry being located and operated nearby including the emission of loud noise, vibration, dust, unpleasant odor, natural gas and/or other chemicals as a result of blasting, heavy machinery operations and truck traffic entering and exiting the Quarry during all hours. Seller cannot guarantee that noise, vibration, odors or gaseous or chemical emissions will not be noted in the future and is not responsible for excessive noise, odors or other nuisances which might result from the operations of this Quarry and truck traffic entering and exiting the Quarry during daytime and nighttime hours.

 

22.17 School Assignments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that school age children may not be assigned to the public school closest to their residences. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has not relied on any verbal or other representations from Seller or its representatives with respect to public school assignments. Buyer is responsible for Buyer's own investigation of public school assignments and other matters controlled by the relevant independent school district(s). Buyer should contact the relevant independent school district(s) directly for the most current public school assignments.

 

22.18 Water Wells. Buyer understands that the Community contains one or more water wells (collectively, the "Water Wells"). Buyer acknowledges that Seller has no control over any past, current, or future uses of the Water Wells and makes no representation regarding the Water Wells, including what purposes the Water Wells serve or served and whether the Water Wells are abandoned, plugged, or capped. Buyer understands that there is a risk that unused Water Wells, if applicable, contain, or at one point may have contained, contaminants, which may impact other wells or groundwater. For additional information concerning the Water Wells, including any potential impact to the Community or the Home, Buyer is encouraged to contact the Texas Water Development Board and/or local governing authorities.

 

22.19 Septic Systems. Buyer understands that the Community contains one or more septic systems (collectively, the "Septic Systems"). Buyer acknowledges that Seller has no control over any past, current, or future uses of the Septic Systems and makes no representation regarding the Septic Systems, including what purposes the Septic Systems serve or served and whether the Septic Systems are closed or abandoned. Buyer understands that there is a risk that unused Septic Systems, if applicable, contain, or at one point may have contained, contaminants, which may impact wells or groundwater. For additional information concerning the Septic Systems, including any potential impact to the Community or the Home, Buyer is encouraged to contact the Texas Water Development Board and/or local governing authorities.

 

22.20 Mineral Exploration and Production Disclosure.

22.26 Streetlights. Numerous streetlights will be installed within the Community, many of which will be installed after homes have been completed, sold and occupied. Streetlights are sized and placed in accordance with governmental requirements, and could in some instances generate light in or obstruct views from homes in the Community. Information about streetlight size, light output, design and location of streetlights within the Community can be obtained from the New Home Consultant.

Seller has no control or influence over the installation and activation of the street lighting. Seller, on behalf of itself, its agents, servants, employees, members, managers, directors, officers, affiliates, representatives, receivers, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, specifically disclaims any and all warranties concerning the installation and activation of street lighting within or with regard to the Community not performed, installed, activated by or under the direction of Seller. Buyer agrees to look solely to the responsible third party with respect to any matters regarding the installation and activation of street lighting within the Community.

 

22.27 Disclaimer Regarding Security Services. Neither the Declarant (as defined in the Declaration) nor the Seller are responsible for providing security or security services for the Community. All persons using or occupying any portion of the Community are responsible for their own security and the security of their own property. Neither the Declarant nor the Seller shall be liable in any way on account of loss, damage or injury resulting from lack of security, or the lack of effectiveness of any security measures undertaken. Neither Declarant nor Seller make any representations or warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, relative to any fire protection system and/or burglar alarm systems, or other security systems, recommended or installed or any security measures undertaken within the Community. For more information, Buyer should refer to the Document Book, or contact the Association.

 

22.28 Open Area Disclosure. Certain open spaces in the Community may have been dedicated to the Association. The Association may provide landscape maintenance to these areas as called for in the Document Book. Maintenance will consist of regular mowing, irrigation and weed control. Seller makes no commitments or assurances, stated or implied, as to the aesthetic finish-out of the open area landscape. For more information, please refer to the Document Book.

 

22.29 Future Commercial/Retail Uses. The Community may be located adjacent to properties which will be developed with major commercial and retail uses in the future. The development of such uses adjacent to the Community may increase traffic volumes, noise, outdoor lighting, pedestrian activity and other similar impacts resulting from commercial development.

 

22.30 Development of Adjacent Property. Seller's current development plans for the Community where the Home and Homesite are located may change and no representations or warranties are made concerning the development of the Community, or any property adjacent to, surrounding, or near such Community. Buyer acknowledges that sales and marketing information may show amenities which may be constructed at the time of purchase, and which may not be included in the final community. Buyer also acknowledges that the responsibility for constructing certain amenities may rest with parties other than Seller, and Seller has no obligation to Buyer to ensure the construction of any such amenities. The terms of this subsection shall survive Closing.

 

23. Risk of Unauthorized Cyber Access. Certain devices, machines, appliances, equipment or systems ("Devices") which are installed in the Home may include technology that allows such Devices to be accessed through the internet or other wireless technology. These Devices may include, without limitation, virtual assistant and voice activated devices, doorbell monitoring devices, water monitoring systems, remote door access systems (including garage doors), and environmental control systems. These Devices may allow a third party to gain unauthorized access to the Devices and control or access them without the Buyer's knowledge or permission. Additionally, such Devices may be used to propagate malware or gain access to other Devices, the Home, networks, computers and Buyer's data contained thereon. Depending on the technology included, the Devices may also carry a risk that verbal communications may be heard by unauthorized third parties or be inadvertently sent to third parties through a voice-activated Device. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the level of security and protection suitable for all Devices connected to any network in the Home, for configuring all relevant equipment to provide appropriate security, and for taking any other security measures Buyer deems necessary or appropriate in connection with such Devices, even if such Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller's direction. Seller makes no representation, and shall have no liability, for any data breaches, malware attacks, network intrusions, physical intrusions, privacy intrusions, cyber-attacks, theft, or other risks related to the Devices, even if such Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller's direction.

 

24. Regulatory and Governmental Approvals. The Community plans have or will be approved by the local governing authorities, as necessary. Future development of the Community may be subject to additional approvals. For more information on the approvals required and pending in the Community, Buyer should contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

25. Public Financing of Capital Improvements. The local governing bodies may finance certain capital improvements in the Community, may issue bonds in connection with such financing and may create one or more special tax districts within the Community to provide for repayment of such bonds.

26. Notice Regarding Potential Annexation. The Homesite may be located outside the limits of a municipality. Therefore, the Homesite may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the Homesite is located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the Community for further information.

 

27. Public Improvement District Disclosure. The Buyer of this parcel of real property may be obligated to pay an assessment to a municipality or county for an improvement project undertaken by a public improvement district under Subchapter A, Chapter 372, Local Government Code or Chapter 382, Local Government Code. The assessment may be due annually or in periodic installments. More information concerning the amount of the assessment and the due dates of that assessment may be obtained from the municipality or county levying the assessment. The amount of the assessments is subject to change. Buyer's failure to pay the assessments could result in a lien on and the foreclosure of Buyer's property.

 

28. Prices/Market Values. Seller, and any other builder in the Community, shall have the unilateral right to establish prices for the homes it builds in the Community. Seller and any other builder in the Community may, at its sole discretion, increase or decrease the price or the price per square foot for any home, homesite or option at any time, or offer incentives for sales of homesites and homes, all without notice to Buyer. Once Buyer has signed the Agreement establishing a price for the Home, the prices for any subsequent changes or upgrades to the Home as requested by Buyer, including but not limited to design, floor plan, options, materials or otherwise, are subject to change by Seller until a written and signed agreement on the price is reached by Seller and Buyer for such change or upgrade. Seller makes no representations or warranties that the price for the Home or options in the Home will be increased or decreased for other buyers of identical or similar homes or options. Seller also makes no representations or warranties that changes or options made by Buyer will or will not increase or decrease the market value of the Home, and Buyer understands and agrees that such upgrades or options may not increase or may actually decrease the market value of the Home. The Home is being sold for residential purposes and not as an investment.

 

29. Variations to Construction. Construction of a home is a unique and challenging endeavor with several thousand components that include both natural and man-made products. Some variations will need to be made during the construction process. Moreover, some fine-tuning will be required after Buyer moves into the Home. New homes will always have a certain amount of shrinkage and cracking during their early lives as materials dry out, soils settle, and the Home "settles in." Seller will address those issues under the terms of the Limited Warranty provided to Buyer.

 

30. Real Estate Tax Disclosure. Buyer should not rely on the Seller's current property taxes as the amount of property taxes that the Buyer may be obligated to pay in the year subsequent to purchase. A change of ownership or property improvements triggers reassessments of the Home that could result in higher property taxes. Seller is not responsible for communicating any information regarding real estate taxes (current or future) and cannot and will not predict what the taxes on the Home may be. Buyer should confirm any information provided concerning appraisals, tax valuation, tax rates or other tax-related questions with Buyer's personal tax advisor and the local taxing authorities.

 

31. Environmental Disclaimer. Various environmental related conditions may exist within or near the Home, including, without limitation, radon gas, odors, formaldehyde, mold, pollution from air, water and soil, and/or electro-magnetic fields that are produced from electric lines that are at or near the Home. The Texas Department of Health and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concern that prolonged exposure to high levels of radon gas and/or formaldehyde may result in adverse effects on human health. The Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding any such environmental related condition(s) within or near the Home. Prior to closing, Buyer shall have the opportunity, at Buyer's cost, to conduct such inspections and tests as reasonably necessary for Buyer to determine whether the environmental matters and risks related thereto, if any, are acceptable to Buyer. Buyer shall obtain Seller's written approval prior to conducting any inspections or tests and Buyer hereby releases Seller from any and all liability and claims with respect to the presence of environmental pollutants.

 

32. Indoor Environmental Quality Disclosure. There are many different types of indoor environmental contaminants, such as pet dander, dust mites and mold. Molds and other potential contaminants have been a part of our environment for millions of years. Contaminants are everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Therefore, everyone is exposed to some contaminants on a daily basis without evident harm. Due to a number of factors, including the fact that sensitivities to various types of molds and other potential contaminants vary from person to person, there are no state or federal standards concerning acceptable levels of exposure to mold. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the American Lung Association, some diseases or illness have been linked with biological pollutants in the indoor environment, including some forms of mold. However, many of these conditions also have causes unrelated to the indoor environment. Therefore, it is unknown how many potential health problems relate exclusively to poor indoor air. Buyer should determine for himself/herself whether Buyer, Buyer's family members or any other individuals who will occupy or use the Home have special needs or increased risk to these conditions. Buyer should carefully monitor the conditions in the Home for mold growth and other contaminants.

 

When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth can and will occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains unaddressed. There is no practical way to eliminate all molds or mold spores in an indoor environment. The key to controlling indoor mold growth is to control moisture.

 

 
Page 10 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

There are many ways to help control moisture in and beneath the Home. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the American Lung Association and others recommend taking measures such as those listed below to help control moisture in and beneath the Home. The following list is not meant to be all-inclusive.

 

o

Fix leaking plumbing and any other source of unwanted water immediately.

 

 

o

Maintain proper indoor humidity. Equipment that conditions the air, such as air conditioners, humidifiers and ventilation systems must be operated year round.

 

 

o

Raise the temperature in areas where moisture condenses on surfaces and open doors between rooms to increase air circulation in the Home, including doors to closets.

 

 

o

Have major appliances, such as furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioners, window air conditioning units, ventilation systems and furnace attached humidifiers inspected, cleaned and serviced regularly by a qualified professional.

 

 

o

Clean and dry refrigerator, air conditioner and dehumidifier drip pans and filters regularly and make sure that refrigerator and freezer doors seal properly.

 

 

o

Keep water away from the foundation of the Home by maintaining required slopes, drainage and keeping plantings and sprinklers the proper distance from the Home.

 

 

o

If there is a sump pump in the Home, inspect it regularly to ensure that it is properly operating.

 

 

o

If there is a crawl space or structural sub-floor, inspect the ground beneath the floor on a regular basis to make sure there is no standing or excessive water. If there is standing or excessive water, seek professional assistance to remove the water. If Buyer is interested in finishing the basement, only do so after consulting an expert to determine the suitability of the basement for a finished area.

 

The following are suggestions that may assist Buyer in preventing and addressing mold growth in the Home.

 

o

It is important that Buyer responds promptly when Buyer sees signs of moisture or mold.

 

 

o

Do not allow moisture to stand or make contact with carpet, furniture and cellulose-based materials, such as wood, drywall or other non-tile, non-plastic or non-metal materials.

 

 

o

Dry all water damaged areas and items immediately to prevent mold growth.

 

 

o

If mold develops, clean up the mold by washing off hard surfaces with detergent and water and completely dry the surface.

 

 

o

Depending upon the nature and extent of the mold infestation, trained professionals may be needed to assist in the remediation effort.

 

 

o

Mold that is not properly and adequately removed may reappear.

 

Proper maintenance and cleaning of the Home is the responsibility of each homeowner and will lessen the potential for water intrusion and help to control indoor environmental contaminants. Further, it is the responsibility of each homeowner to monitor their Home on a continual basis for excessive moisture, water and mold accumulation. If Buyer discovers accumulation of water or moisture in, around or under the Home, Buyer should immediately seek to control the source of the water or moisture. Failing to control the source could result in additional damage and the growth of mold. Plumbing leaks and water penetrations that are covered by the Limited Warranty, if any, during the term of the Limited Warranty must be reported to Seller immediately. If the Limited Warranty has expired or does not cover the specific problem, Buyer should not delay in having professionals address the problem. Seller will not be responsible for, and Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims in connection with, water-related damages, including personal injuries or property damage caused by mold, but only to extent that the damages are caused by (i) Buyer's negligence, (ii) Buyer's failure to promptly take appropriate corrective measures and minimize any damages caused by the water or moisture, or (iii) Buyer's failure to promptly provide Seller with notice of the water or moisture and give Seller an opportunity to dry the water or moisture and remediate, if necessary, any moisture conditions in the Home caused by improper construction. Buyer also agrees to waive all rights of subrogation for damages resulting from water-related damages, mold growth, any personal injuries, or any remediation resulting from (i) Buyer's negligence, (ii) Buyer's failure to promptly take appropriate corrective measures and minimize any damages caused by the water or moisture, or (iii) Buyer's failure to promptly provide Seller with notice of the water or moisture and give Seller an opportunity to dry the water or moisture and remediate, if necessary, any moisture conditions in the Home caused by improper construction.

 

33. Installation of Swimming Pool and/or Decking. Buyer understands and acknowledges that should Buyer choose to install a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping at the Home, that this installation could have an adverse impact with regard to the Home's foundation and could void the Limited Warranty on Buyer's Home. Specifically, Seller has constructed the Home in accordance with recommendations of a geotechnical engineer that requires positive drainage away from the Home. The installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping without providing for positive drainage away from the foundation of the Home could result in serious impacts on the Home's foundation. This could result in a voiding of the Limited Warranty on the Home. For additional information, Buyer should refer to the Limited Warranty. Further, should Buyer choose to install a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping at the Home, Buyer acknowledges that it may be necessary to relocate certain electrical lines that run underground and Buyer agrees to be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the electrical lines (whether relocation or otherwise). Buyer further hereby acknowledges that:

 

33.1 Buyer is responsible for maintaining proper grading and drainage of the Home.

 

 
Page 11 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

33.2 Buyer is responsible for ensuring that any installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping does not adversely impact and shall properly maintain the grading and drainage of the Home.

 

33.3 The installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping could result in serious impacts on the Home's foundation and could void the Limited Warranty on the Home.

 

33.4 Buyer is solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the potential impact of the installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping on the electrical lines at the Home (whether relocation or otherwise).

 

34. Construction and Sales Activities. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SOME AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY MAY BE UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. INCIDENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, THE QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THE COMMUNITY MAY BE UNAVOIDABLY INTERFERED WITH TO SOME EXTENT BY THE CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS. Construction, development and sales activities in the Community will likely occur after Buyer has taken occupancy of Buyer's Home. Depending upon Buyer's sensitivities, this may result in some inconvenience to Buyer and Buyer's family and guests due to increased noise, dust, road closures, operation of the model homes and sales offices, and other activities. Construction activities can occur at various hours throughout the day, and sales activities can result in additional traffic and visitors throughout the Community, particularly before the Community is completely built out. Neither Seller nor any other builder that may be active in the Community can guarantee that Buyer will not be affected or impacted as a result of the overall construction and development of the Community. Seller gives no guarantees or assurances on the active time of the Community model homes. Homesites across the street or next to the model homes may remain undeveloped until Seller determines that these homesites are no longer needed for marketing purposes.

 

34.1 Views. Future development and construction activities within, adjacent to, or near the Community can and will modify the view from homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite). Trees and other foliage may be added or removed from lots or common areas of the Community. Additional housing and other improvements will be added within the Community, and may be added near or adjacent to the Community. Because future development and construction activities within, adjacent to, or near the Community will modify views from homesites, Seller does not warrant or guarantee any existing views will be maintained in the future relative to the Home.

 

35. Landscaping.

 

35.1 Trees and Foliage. The Community may contain numerous native trees of various sizes and varieties. While Seller has taken great care during the planning and construction of the Community to save trees, future development and construction will require the removal of additional trees, shrubs and other foliage and, therefore, Seller does not guarantee the preservation of any trees, shrubs, ground cover or other foliage in the Community or Buyer's Homesite, and cannot be responsible for short or long-term damages to foliage due to construction or development activities. Seller makes no representation or warranty that trees on the Homesite being purchased or any other homesite or common area in the Community will not be removed. Buyer acknowledges that the condition of any trees on the Home will have no effect on any premiums that may have been charged due to size or location of the Home. All care and maintenance of foliage on an individual homesite is the responsibility of the homeowner, and Seller does not guarantee or warranty the survival of any foliage. Buyer understands that trees located in the undeveloped areas of the Community and those situated on adjacent properties may be cleared as development progresses into future phases. The Document Book may contain restrictions regarding the removal of any tree over a certain size. In addition, the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community may have adopted certain tree ordinances regulating the removal of any tree over a certain size. Buyer should contact the Association or the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community to ensure that its regulations are adhered to.

 

35.2 Sodded Parkway. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sodded parkway, if any, may not contain irrigation. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that this area may require additional watering and that this is Buyer's responsibility.

 

35.3 Maintenance of Greenbelt. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Community may contain a greenbelt and/or pond areas that are owned and controlled by the Association and/or developer. Maintenance of these areas is currently handled by the Association and/or developer.

 

35.4 Landscaping Disclosure and Warranty. All grading, fill, removal of existing trees and shrubs and control of water flow will be performed and completed at Seller's sole discretion. Seller's landscape package shall be limited to the features reflected in Seller's Feature Sheet, and shall be subject to the following:

 

35.4.1 Rough grading of the yard will conform to natural contours, the grading plan for the Community, and will direct flow of water away from the Home's foundation.

 

 
Page 12 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

35.4.2 Final grade of Homesite will remove large surface rocks only.

 

35.4.3 Seller does not warrant any of the landscaping or any of the natural or existing trees and shrubs. Seller will not be responsible for water damage resulting from natural erosion or erosion caused by changes in grade by Buyer or any owner of the Home. Due to the fact that Seller cannot control the care of landscaping and ground cover installed at the Home, Seller offers no warranty on such items. It will be important that Buyer carefully inspect all shrubs, trees and ground cover at the time of Buyer's New Home Orientation in order to insure satisfaction. Once Buyer has closed on the Home, it will be Buyer's responsibility to care for and to protect all such items from disease, acts of nature and other such damage.

 

36. Disclosures Affecting the Home.

 

36.1 Washing Machine/Drain Pan. If the utility room in the Home is located on the second floor, it may be difficult to maneuver the washer and dryer into the utility room. Buyer understands that the washing machine must be lifted approximately three (3) inches off the floor and placed into the washing machine drain pan. The washing machine drain pan can be damaged if the appliance is not installed correctly. It is Buyer's responsibility to ensure proper installation of the washer and dryer.

 

36.2 Engineered Flooring. Buyer understands that the subfloor supporting the second story, if any, was designed using standard live and dead loads. These designs are not intended to support high point-load items such as waterbeds or pool tables. The placement of waterbeds, pool tables, or any other high point- load furniture on the second story will void the warranty on the floor system including, but not limited to, floor pops or squeaks, sheetrock cracks, humps or dips, and unlevelness.

 

36.3 Attic Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that the attic system contains designated areas for attic storage. Placing items in the attic for storage in non-designated areas is strongly discouraged and not recommended and can result in damage to the Home for which Seller is not liable.

 

36.4 General Cabinet Disclaimer. Buyer acknowledges that the cabinets may have characteristics that can affect the coloring and shading of the finished cabinets. These variances include, but are not limited to, staining color and shading variances. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will not be responsible for any variances in the color, shading, etc. of these cabinets and no alterations or changes will be made to the cabinets regarding these cosmetic issues. Buyer further acknowledges that Seller will only address workmanship issues with regards to the kitchen cabinets.

 

36.5 Wallpaper Disclosure. Except as is expressly reflected in the Feature Sheets for the Community in which the Home is located, the Home will not be furnished with interior wallpaper. Furthermore, since the walls will not be finished with interior wallpaper, Buyer acknowledges that such walls will be textured and painted in lieu of any wallpaper consideration.

 

36.6 Insect Disclosure. The Home is being constructed with pressure treated base plates and a plastic moisture barrier. The primary function of these materials is to resist moisture decay. In addition, these applications can lessen the ability of wood-destroying insects to damage the Home.

 

36.7 Garages. Garage sizes and heights may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. It is not uncommon for floor plans to change during actual construction of the Home. Specific homesite conditions or local ordinances may determine the (i) location of safety bollards intended to protect plumbing or mechanical systems located inside the garage and/or (ii) design of steps from the garage to the Home thereby affecting the usability of interior garage space available for parking vehicles. Further, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that stated floor plan dimensions and square footages are approximate and should never be relied upon as the actual as-built size of the garage; modifications to floor plan dimensions and square footages shown in sales materials may occur for many circumstances, without notice to or consent of Buyer, including but not limited to, inclusions of options and upgrades, actual field conditions and governmental agency requirements.

 

Buyer should further be aware that the garage orientation is predetermined by Seller. This decision is based on engineering, easements, and utility considerations, as well as maximizing the Homesite and the appearance of street scene in the Community.

 

36.8 Gang/Cluster Mailboxes. Buyer hereby acknowledges that the mailboxes serving the homes in Community may be installed as "gang/cluster mailboxes" in the Community common areas and in such event individual mailboxes will not be installed separately on Buyer's Homesite or on any other individual homesites in the Community. Neither Seller nor the Association will be responsible for any issues whatsoever, including any inconvenience to Buyer which might result from the location, installation, maintenance and use of gang/cluster mailboxes, or the delivery and pick up of mail to and from such gang/cluster mailboxes in the Community, as may be required by the United States Postal Service.

 

37. Burning of Candles. Burning of candles inside the Home can cause severe damage to carpet, walls, clothing, furniture and everything else in the Home. The damage resulting from candle burning may be affected by the number and/or type of candle(s) burned. Buyer understands that Seller will not warrant or remedy the effects of candle burning and will not be responsible for any damage done to the Home, or the contents thereof, due to candle burning. This unwarranted damage includes, but is not limited to, soot build-up, discoloration, "shadowing" and streaking. Seller explicitly states that candles should not be burned inside of the Home.

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

38. Access Prior to Closing. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may not: (i) store an item on or in the Homesite prior to closing; (ii) install any item on or in the Home or Homesite prior to closing such as speaker wire, flatwork, interior or exterior paint, landscaping, etc.; or (iii) park in the driveway of the Home or any home under construction.

 

39. Statements Made by Sales Staff and Brokers. Seller wants to ensure that Seller and Buyer are in full agreement on all terms and conditions relating to the Agreement. To best ensure that there are no misunderstandings, Buyer should ensure that all terms and conditions (including all statements, representations, or understandings upon which Buyer relies in purchasing the Home) are set forth in writing in the Agreement. If there are any statements, representations or understandings which are made by a sales staff person or any other representative of Seller which are material to Buyer's decision to purchase, Buyer should insist that any such statement, representation or understanding is put in writing and contained in the Agreement. Seller reserves the right to reject the Agreement notwithstanding the inclusion of any such item in the Agreement.

 

40. Addendum not a Substitute. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that this Addendum is not a substitute for reading the entire Document Book. For a more detailed explanation of any section contained in this Addendum, refer to the Document Book.

 

41. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

42. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

43. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda or riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

A copy of the Limited Warranty (or other applicable warranty booklet) is available to Buyer at the time this Addendum is signed; and a copy of the Limited Warranty shall be delivered to Buyer at Closing and a copy of which is available for examination at Seller's office and will, at Buyer's request, be attached as an exhibit to the Agreement. By initialing below, Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has had the opportunity to receive and review the Limited Warranty (or other applicable warranty) prior to execution of the Agreement and that Buyer agreed to be bound by the terms of the Limited Warranty (or other applicable warranty) including any and all binding arbitration provisions. THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDIES PROVIDED BY SELLER CONSTITUTE THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES TO BE MADE AVAILABLE BY SELLER AND ARE IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER GUARANTIES OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, SUITABILITY AND FITNESS, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER AND WAIVED BY BUYER. TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN ANY PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT RELATED TO WARRANTIES AND THE LIMITED WARRANTY, THE PROVISIONS OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL CONTROL.

 

 

Buyers Initials:

 

 

3.2 Settlement of Warranty Disputes. Any disputes, claims or controversies relating to any items, problems, defects or difficulties covered by the Limited Warranty shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute settlement provisions contained in the Limited Warranty. The manual that Buyer will receive explains how to contact Seller if Buyer believes that a construction problem exists that may be covered by the warranties discussed in this section. If Buyer is not satisfied with Seller's response to a notice of a possible construction problem, Buyer may notify a Customer Care Supervisor if Buyer believes the possible construction problem is covered by the Limited Warranty. SELLER LIMITS ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OR PAYMENT TO BUYER OF THE REASONABLE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.

 

 

Buyers Initials:

 

 

3.3 Manufacturer's Warranty Disclaimer. SELLER ASSIGNS AND PASSES THROUGH TO BUYER THE MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES FOR ALL APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN THE HOME AND SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT THERETO. SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON ANY APPLIANCE AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF USE, FITNESS OF USE, WORKMANSHIP OR QUALITY. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY TO THE APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY CAUSED BY THE APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS. THE TERM "APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS" MEANS ALL APPLIANCES, WATER HEATERS, AIR CONDITIONERS, BURGLAR ALARMS, STOVES, REFRIGERATORS, DISHWASHERS AND OTHER ITEMS DEFINED AS CONSUMER PRODUCTS BY 15 U.S.C. § 2301 OR 16 C.F.R. § 702 WHICH ARE OR WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE HOME. SELLER'S DISCLAIMER OF MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES DOES NOT LIMIT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE WARRANTY OF ANY MANUFACTURER.

 

4. Changes, Additions and/or Deletions. Seller offers optional features in our homes. However, we do not allow custom changes or deletions to our plans. Seller has designed each of the homes with as much attention to detail as possible. However, it is not possible to design homes that will meet the exact needs of every customer without becoming a "custom" builder. Also, once the Home is started, we cannot allow any changes to color selections after the construction stage cutoff dates maintained by Seller for the Homesite referenced herein, as these items are normally pre-ordered at the start of construction. Please review the Agreement for additional provisions relating to this topic.

Austin, Texas (03-NOV-21)

 

 

5. Use of Other Suppliers and Subcontractors. Due to the provisions of our liability and workers compensation insurance carriers, as well as our contractual agreements with our suppliers and subcontractors, we cannot allow the use of any other suppliers or subcontractors.

 

6. Color Selections. In order to allow sufficient time for our suppliers to order all of the materials to be used in Buyer's new Home, Seller requests that all color selections be finalized prior to the construction stage cutoff dates maintained by Seller for the Homesite referenced herein. All color selections must be done in writing. Verbal selections will not be accepted by Seller.

 

7. Title Insurance. Buyer is instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an abstract of title for the Property and to have an attorney review it before Closing. Buyer is also instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an owner's title policy from any title company of Buyer's choice. If Buyer desires, Buyer may use the title company customarily used by Seller, but it is ultimately Buyer's choice. Please review the Agreement and the Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement for additional provisions related to this topic.

 

8. Selections. If Seller is delivering the Home through a Design Center as indicated in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum, Seller will provide Buyer, when available, with a checklist of color and/or material choices for those items for which Buyer will have a choice, if any (in Seller's sole discretion). Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, or first available appointment with a design consultant, Buyer agrees to personally select upon Seller's standard forms, and at the location designated by the Seller, any options available for the Home ("Selection Period"). At Seller's option, Buyer shall pay for any available options chosen by Buyer at the time of selection. If Buyer fails to make the required selections within the Selection Period, Buyer will be deemed to have waived the right to make selections and the Seller may select such options and extras on behalf of the Buyer and complete the Unit. If Buyer waives the right to make sections, Seller shall have the option to (i) declare Buyer in default hereunder, or (ii) charge Buyer the amount of $100 per day to compensate Seller for its additional administrative costs caused by Buyer's delay. All available options must be selected through Seller. Colors of all items and materials not included in that checklist will be selected by Seller. Buyer shall have no right to make changes after the Selection Period. If Seller agrees in its sole discretion to permit Buyer to make a change after the Selection Period expires, Buyer will be required to pay the cost of such change plus a $1,000 non-refundable administrative fee for each such change.

 

No contractor hired directly by Buyer may enter upon or do work of any kind before Closing. Seller shall not be responsible for any difference or change in color, wood grain, dye lots, tint, shading, discoloration, or tone, etc. between that of samples of options displayed to Buyer, the merchandise ordered, and that delivered and/or installed. This includes but is not limited to cabinets, countertops, wood flooring, tile flooring and grout, marble fireplace surrounds, carpeting, railing and staircase stains, etc. Wood is purchased from all parts of North America; as a result, there may be variations in many superficial characteristics of the timber. Every piece of wood has different characteristics in color and grain resulting in inconsistency of how the various pieces take staining and finishing. Mineral streaks can manifest as shades of black, green, red or white. Black streaks may also be found in maple wood and cherry wood may have "pit marks". These variations can be very distractive, especially in natural and light stain finishes. The wood of your completed cabinetry and/or flooring may project a different appearance from that of a smaller example, another set of cabinets or a completely different floor. Dimensions of your Home may differ from those reflected in brochures, advertisements, artist's renderings and marketing floor plans. Actual dimensions may vary upon completion of the Home. Notwithstanding this Section, if Buyer is purchasing a completed home, any selection must take place within forty-eight (48) hours of the Effective Date. Otherwise all other provisions of this Section shall apply.

 

IF HOME IS AN INVENTORY HOME, THEN ALL SELECTIONS FOR THE INVENTORY HOME HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NO CHANGES IN ANY SELECTION MAY BE MADE TO THE HOME REGARDLESS OF STAGE OF COMPLETION AT PURCHASE.

 

9. Square Footage. Buyer acknowledges that the total square footage and individual dimensions on the plans and specifications are approximations and should not be construed to indicate certainty. Seller makes no guarantee or warranty regarding the precise or actual square footage of the Home. In this regard, elevations and floor plans are merely conceptual, and actual construction will be done according to the latest available blueprints and may vary, and in all events shall be subject to field adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Seller. Garage sizes may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. Should precise square footage measurements be necessary to Buyer, an architect of Buyer's choosing (and at Buyer's cost) should be consulted.

 

10. No Communication with Trade Partners or Physical/Verbal Abuse. All matters pertaining to the construction of the Home will be performed by Seller and Seller's contractors, subcontractors, and other vendors ("Trade Partners"). Buyer is prohibited from instructing or requesting work from the Trade Partners or otherwise hindering the construction of the Home. Buyer will not verbally or physically abuse Seller's Trade Partners, employees, agents, or any other associated personnel, including without limitation, sales, construction or office personnel. Buyer understands and agrees that, during the building process, Buyer's primary contact with Seller is the New Home Consultant.

 

11. Loan Lock. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not and will not be responsible for storage and/or moving expenses or expired lock agreements with Buyer's mortgage company. Buyer further understands that all closing dates are approximate dates for completion of the Home.

 

11.1 Buyer understands that the election to lock an interest rate is strictly between Buyer and the mortgage lender. Due to variations in construction schedules, Seller prohibits the offering of any advice or recommendations regarding the decision to lock interest rates.

Austin, Texas (03-NOV-21)

 

 

11.2 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not responsible should Buyer's loan lock expire before closing of escrow. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that failure to close escrow resulting from a change in mortgage rates may be considered a breach of contract per the terms of the Agreement.

 

12. Cooperation with Closing Agent. Buyer agrees to promptly provide closing agent all information and documentation that either closing agent or the title insurance company is required to obtain by law, including any requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Buyer's failure to cooperate with or provide information to the closing agent or otherwise comply with U.S. Department of the Treasury requirements shall be a default.

 

13. Subsequent Payment of Initial Deposit. If Buyer has not already paid the Initial Deposit at the time Seller accepts the Agreement, Buyer will make the Initial Deposit within twenty-four (24) hours of when this Agreement is accepted by Seller ("Subsequent Payment"). When a Subsequent Payment is required, any provisions in the Agreement which state that an Initial Deposit has already been provided to or received by Seller are revised to state that Buyer has chosen a method of payment that will require Buyer to make a Subsequent Payment.

 

14. Debit/Credit Card Deposit. If Buyer makes the Initial Deposit using a credit or debit card ("Card Deposit"), Buyer will, upon Seller's request, provide the last 4-digits of the card to Seller and the title company conducting the Closing. At least one person that is a Buyer must be the cardholder. If the card deposit is a credit card deposit, it is subject to Seller's acceptance. Buyer must provide evidence to Buyer's lender no later than (10) business days prior to Closing that the credit card deposit has been paid off out of Buyer's own funds. Such evidence shall include, but is not limited to, credit card and bank statements.

 

15. Further Actions. Buyer and Seller will execute all instructions and documents required to correct any clerical errors or to effectuate the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16. Buyer Releases Seller from Damages Caused by Buyer Improvements and Alterations. Before Buyer installs any post-closing improvements to or on the Homesite including, but not limited to, pools, spas, planters, sidewalks, decks, patios, patio covers, room additions, sprinklers, landscaping, and other alterations (collectively "Buyer Improvements"), Buyer agrees to retain all appropriate professional consultants including a licensed architect and a civil, soil or structural engineer ("Buyer Improvement Experts") and to design and construct the Buyer Improvements in accordance with such experts' advice and specifications as well as all local building codes and processes. The Homesite was designed and constructed to support the residence and any Homesite improvements delivered with the residence (collectively, "Seller Delivered Improvements"), with the expectation that Buyer will consult such Buyer Improvement Experts before designing or constructing any Buyer Improvements. Even if Buyer takes such steps, Buyer should expect that Buyer Improvements may be damaged or cause damages to the Homesite and Seller Delivered Improvements, and may cause issues such as subsidence, earth movement, foundation cracks and failure, slab/foundation tilt, deflection, erosion, improper drainage, lateral fill extension, slope creep, corrosion, spalling, efflorescence, and water intrusion which can cause major damages to the Buyer Improvements, Seller Delivered Improvements, and Homesite.

 

Buyer assumes all risks relating to Buyer Improvements and releases and waives all deficiencies, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, awards, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including attorneys' fees and expenses ("Claims") against Seller and its affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants and agents of each of them ("Released Parties") arising from or in any way related to Buyer Improvements, including Claims for bodily injury, death, property damage, economic loss, and diminution in value including Claims that may not be anticipated at this time. To the extent such damages to the Seller Delivered Improvements or Homesite arise out of or relate to Buyer Improvements, any express warranties provided by Seller on the damaged components are void and released by Buyer unless such warranties are required by law and are not permitted to be modified or released.

 

17. Homesite Transfer Fee. Seller may, in its sole discretion, allow Buyer to instead purchase a different homesite by agreeing to revise the Purchase and Sale Agreement or enter into a new Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Seller agrees to such change in homesite, Buyer will be required to pay Seller a transfer fee in the amount of Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) ("Transfer Fee"). Buyer hereby agrees to pay such Transfer Fee to Seller upon Buyer's execution of such new documentation. Buyer understands that such Transfer Fee shall not be a part of the Deposit and the Transfer Fee shall be non-refundable (unless otherwise provided in any FHA/VA Addendum, if applicable).

 

18. Counterparts. This Rider B shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Rider B electronically to the other party.

 

19. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Rider B and the Agreement, this Rider B shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

20. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Rider B and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Rider B or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

ENERGY ADDENDUM

 

THIS ENERGY ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is, by this reference, made part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Energy Claims. In the marketing of the Home/Unit, certain verbal or written statements may have been made, including but not limited to statements contained in advertising and marketing material, relating to the energy efficiency, energy consumption, energy savings or energy costs of the Home/Unit. Buyer acknowledges that any such statements were estimates only and were developed by third parties based upon the design of the Home/Unit and/or various indices. Actual Home/Unit energy savings will vary due to, among numerous other factors, construction variances, floor plan, occupancy, appliance usage, thermostat settings, weather conditions, maintenance and orientation of the Home/Unit. Seller provides no guarantee of savings that will be achieved by each homeowner.

 

3. HERS Index. Based on an analysis of the home's plans, a third party Home Energy Rater uses an energy efficiency software package to perform an energy analysis of the home's design. This analysis yields a projected, pre-construction HERS ("Home Energy Rating System") Index. The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network ("RESNET") in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower a home's HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. Each 1-point decrease in the HERS Index corresponds to an estimated 1% increase in energy efficiency compared to the HERS Reference Home. For any home with a HERS Index rating, the Buyer understands and agrees that the rating is not to be construed as a guarantee of energy savings or consumption levels. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the HERS Index.

 

4. Certification Program. In connection with the sale of the Home/Unit, Seller may have used a third party to certify that the Home/Unit was designed to certain guidelines ("Certification Program"). Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding any aspect of the Certification Program. Buyer acknowledges that the third party estimate is based upon analytical methods and not necessarily testing of the Home/Unit.

 

5. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

6. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

CONNECTED HOME ADDENDUM

 

THIS CONNECTED HOME ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is, by this reference, made part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community") and applies to Units/Homes (hereinafter "Homes") built under Lennar's Home Automation Program.

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Seller Does Not Provide Internet Connectivity. Buyer is responsible for engaging an outside service provider to provide internet connectivity to the Home. All such service providers are third parties operating outside of Seller's control and Seller makes no representations regarding any such providers or any services provided by or through same. All contracts and service agreements relating to internet connectivity are between the Buyer and third parties, and Seller shall have no liability or responsibility in connection with such agreements or services.

 

THE BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BUYER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THEIR INTERNET BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS. WIRELESS EQUIPMENT PRE-INSTALLED IN THE HOME ONLY PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY INSIDE THE HOME. SELLER HAS NO CONTROL OVER, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, CONNECTION SPEEDS BETWEEN THE HOME AND THE INTERNET, OR THE RELIABILITY OF SUCH CONNECTIONS, OR ANY CONNECTIVITY, RELIABILITY, OR BANDWIDTH ISSUES ARISING FROM OUTSIDE THE HOME OR FROM THE BUYER'S INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER. THE BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CERTAIN ACTIVITIES MAY REQUIRE CONNECTION SPEEDS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THAT SUPPORTED BY WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES. IF THE BUYER REQUIRES HIGHER SPEEDS A WIRED CONNECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN ADDITION TO ANY PRE-INSTALLED WIRELESS EQUIPMENT.

 

3. Wireless and Internet Devices.

 

3.1 Devices. Pursuant to the Agreement, Buyer shall receive certain machines, appliances, equipment, systems and wireless and/or internet devices ("Smart Devices") with the purchase of the Home. Seller reserves the right to, without notice, change or substitute Smart Devices, which in Seller's opinion are considered to be of quality substantially similar or equal, or are of better quality, subject to their availability.

 

3.2 Device Warranties. Smart Devices are subject only to manufacturer warranties, and Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding them. Seller shall have no liability for any manufacturer or third party warranties relating to any Smart Devices. Physical network wiring in the Home will be treated in the same manner as other wiring installed in the Home.

 

3.3 Security, Privacy and Data Breach. To the extent any Smart Devices include any security features or capabilities, the devices may be pre-configured with factory-default security settings. To the extent any such device is not configured, the Buyer is responsible for all configuration and settings. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the security of any Smart Devices or the effectiveness or sufficiency of any default settings, configured settings, or security features provided by such equipment, including effectiveness or sufficiency against attacks or intrusions with respect to Buyer's safety or privacy. Buyer is responsible for selecting and using strong passwords, controlling access to those passwords and the devices themselves, and for any changes to security settings, passwords or configurations after the date of the Closing.

 

3.4 Buyer's Requirements, Buyer's Devices, and Third Party Devices. Seller makes no representations that any wireless equipment or network will be sufficient to meet the Buyer's needs or requirements. As between Buyer and Seller, configuration, operation, and use of all third party internet connectivity equipment, all Buyer and third party supplied devices and equipment connected to any in-home network by or on behalf of the Buyer are subject only to manufacturers' warranties, and all related services and agreements are entirely the Buyer's responsibility and are entirely at the Buyer's own and sole risk. Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding the Smart Devices or any consequences thereof (including, without limitation, any personal injury or property damage caused by, or related in any manner to, the malfunction thereof), and Buyer shall be solely responsible for monitoring any alerts received on any application that are related to the performance of any Smart Device.

 

3.5 Risk of Unauthorized Cyber Access. Certain Smart Devices which are installed in the Home may include technology that allows such devices to be accessed through the internet or other wireless technology. A third party may gain unauthorized access to the Smart Devices and control or access them without the Buyer's knowledge or permission. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the level of security and protection suitable for all Smart Devices connected to any network in the Home, for configuring all relevant equipment to provide appropriate security, and for taking any other security measures Buyer deems necessary or appropriate. Seller makes no representation, and shall have no liability, for any data breaches, malware attacks, network intrusions, physical intrusions, privacy intrusions, cyber-attacks, theft, or other risks related to the Smart Devices, even if such Smart Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller's direction.

Modification 2

 

 

3.6 Activation and Post-Activation Support. The Smart Devices and related software require, among other things, Buyer to download and use the Smart Devices' mobile applications and at least one active mobile device that is available for use. Each third party manufacturer, and not Seller, will be responsible for providing support to Buyer in connection with the applicable Smart Device. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the support provided by such third party manufacturer, including any monitoring. Buyer's jurisdiction may require permitting, including a permit fee, for Buyer to obtain professional monitoring of certain Smart Devices, in which case Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining such permit and paying such fee.

 

4. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

5. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein.

ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL AND MANMADE PRODUCTS

 

THIS ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL AND MANMADE PRODUCTS (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Exterior Brick and Natural Stone Flooring and Countertops. Natural stones ("Natural Stone") and bricks ("Brick") with varying colors and mineral compositions are found in quarries throughout the world. Natural Stone and/or Brick including, without limitation, marble and granite stone types, are therefore products of nature and vary in color, markings, shade, and texture. Buyer acknowledges that neither Natural Stone nor Brick is uniform and that Seller can make no guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Natural Stone or Brick to be used in the Home. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Natural Stone to be used/installed in Buyer's Home:

 

2.1 Cleaning. Care should be exercised when cleaning Natural Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Stone.

 

2.2 Natural Inconsistencies. Natural Stone contains natural inconsistencies which will be present in Natural Stone flooring and/or countertops in the Home; such natural inconsistencies are normal and are not defects.

 

2.3 Edges and Corners. There may be changes in the patterning of Natural Stone from one edge or corner of the flooring or countertop to another edge or corner; such changes in patterning is normal and is not a defect.

 

2.4 Fissures and Pits. Natural Stone may contain fissures and pits that occur naturally and may appear as a small hole or recess; such fissures and pits are not cracks or defects.

 

2.5 Spots, Freckles, and Rust. Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Natural Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Natural Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

2.6 Seams. Natural Stone is almost never seamless due to the techniques employed to cut the slab of Natural Stone in a way that preserves the maximum beauty of such Natural Stone. Pieces of Natural Stone must therefore be fitted together and the Natural Stone used in the Home will not be seamless and may have visible seams, which are not defects.

 

2.7 Wallboard and Plaster. Natural Stone is cut by machine to be straight. Irregularities occurring in the Home may mean that the installer has to force pieces of Natural Stone into the wallboard or plaster during installation to compensate for the irregularities. Shims, caulking and putty may be used to fill imperfections in walls and floors in order to install Natural Stone flooring and countertops. There may be such shims, caulking and/or putty in the Natural Stone used in the Home, which shims, caulking and/or putty are used to enhance the installation and are not defects.

 

2.8 Staining. Natural Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

2.9 Sink Cabinet. The cabinet directly under the sink may be six (6) inches larger than the sink, as a sink of larger size will preclude adjustment of seams and edges of Natural Stone countertop and may result in a deterioration of the Natural Stone countertop.

 

3. Mortar and Selection of Color and Type of Brick or Natural Stone. Buyer acknowledges that only one color of mortar is available, and that there are no other colors from which to choose. Buyer further acknowledges that the Brick and/or Natural Stone types selected by Buyer, or that has been selected prior to Buyer's purchase of Home, is final and that no deviations are allowed.

 

4. Cabinet Stain Color. Cabinet stain colors may vary from home-to-home as well as from cabinet-to-cabinet. Buyer acknowledges that same and/or similar types of wood are not man-made and, as such, variations in grain, knots, color, texture and overall appearance may occur. Buyer further acknowledges that stain color on handrail variations may and sometimes do occur due to the aforementioned factors.

Oklahoma and Texas (05-OCT-22)

 

 

5. Manmade Products. The Home may include one or more of the following manmade products: carpet, tile and wood flooring; wall and pool wet area tiles; wood cabinets; cultured marble tubs, sinks and countertops; roof tiles; stamped concrete and paver driveways. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that shade variations are inherent in manmade products. Colors of actual manmade products may vary from samples or catalogues and slight color variations may exist from different product runs. Buyer acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the manmade products, or to the suitability or maintenance of any manmade products in the Home. Buyer acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the manmade products to be used/installed in the Home.

 

5.1 Bathroom Fixtures. There may be a variation in shading between bathroom fixtures within the same room, including commodes, sinks, countertops, tubs, and towel bars.

 

5.2 Exterior Finish. Seller may provide an exterior decorative finish with a painted surface. The exterior decorative coating is not a waterproofing material. The proper application of paint and caulking of joints over cement based material and decorative wood components provide for the moisture resistant qualities of the exterior surface of the Home. Buyer acknowledges that repainting of the Home will likely be required at least every five years.

 

5.3 Ceramic Tile. Normal slab settlement may crack ceramic tile and the physical characteristics are conducive to chipping after installation by a number of different causes; subsequent chipping and cracking is unavoidable and not a warrantable item. Buyer will have the opportunity to inspect the Home prior to Closing and Seller requests that Buyer examine any tile floor closely at this time.

 

5.4 Wooden Laminate Cabinets. Wooden laminate cabinets are a popular selection of cabinetry in the home building industry. As the technological and manufacturing processes continue to emerge, what may appear to be a particular species of wood, (i.e., birch, oak, walnut, etc.) may in fact be a veneer over a composition product; stained and finished to resemble a specific species of wood. Buyer acknowledges that wooden laminate cabinets may be manufactured with various manmade products and/or product names used in the manufacturing process. As with other natural materials, wooden laminate cabinets will be affected by environmental factors such as natural and artificial lighting, so Buyer may see the color of such cabinets gradually change and mellow over time. Seams will be visible in the framework of all face frame cabinets, if applicable.

 

5.5 Paver Driveway and Walk. Pavers are an interlocking system supported by the existing earth. White mason sand is used to space the pavers and is meant to wash out in a short time. Pavers are not meant to have grout or mortar joints. Variations in the plane or levelness are expected and normal. The vast majority of elevation variances occur during the first year following installation. Buyer acknowledges that the pavers used to construct the Home's driveway and walk may be rustic, and no two paving stones are identical in color, texture or finish. Due to normal manufacturing, shipping, handling and installation, pavers may have abrasions, marks and minor staining. Normal weathering can also change the color and texture of the pavers. The most popular finish to be applied to paving stones is a clear sealer. Sealing also helps reduce effervescence, weathering, the penetration of permanent stains and normal wear and tear. The sealing of pavers is a normal maintenance function. Buyer should have a professional install any sealer. Seller recommends that Buyer not install any sealer until Buyer has occupied the Home for thirty (30) days to allow pavers to properly cure. Buyer further acknowledges that the paving stones at the models have not been sealed and have been left in their original condition.

 

6. Manmade Stone. At the option of the Buyer, the Home may include Manmade Stone ("Manmade Stone") on the exterior of the Home. Buyer acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Manmade Stone to be installed on the Home: the Manmade Stone is (i) not a naturally-occurring stone and (ii) is not a waterproofing material. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Manmade Stone to be used/installed as part of the Home:

 

6.1 Seller may provide an exterior decorative finish with a painted surface. The exterior decorative coating is not a waterproofing material. The proper application of paint and caulking of joints over cement based material and decorative wood components provide for the moisture resistant qualities of the exterior surface of the Home. Buyer acknowledges that repainting of the Home will likely be required at least every five years.

 

6.2 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that shade variations are inherent in Manmade Stone. Colors of the Manmade Stone may vary from samples or catalogues and slight color variations may exist from different product runs. Buyer acknowledges that the Manmade Stone is not uniform and Seller makes no representations or guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Manmade Stone, or to the suitability or maintenance of any Manmade Stone that is made a part of the Home.

 

6.3 Care should be exercised when cleaning Manmade Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean Manmade Stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Manmade Stone.

 

6.4 Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Manmade Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Manmade Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

6.5 Manmade Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Manmade Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

BE INFORMED ADDENDUM

 

THIS BE INFORMED ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated March 08, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat, in the Community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Be Informed. Seller presents this Addendum to Buyer so that Buyer can become familiar with some important aspects of his/her Home and the specific components therein. Please read this Addendum carefully.

 

3. Wood Floors. Wood is a natural product and will have variation in color, texture, uniformity, and grain. This absence of uniformity is what gives wood what is considered its natural beauty, and it is to be expected. If a uniform look is desired, wood should not be considered as a flooring option. Wood flooring or individual planks will not be replaced due to any variations in color, texture, uniformity, or grain.

 

 

o

Wood floors will scratch and indent. If you have pets you may want to carefully consider the use of hard wood floors in your Home.

 

o

Natural color change will occur during the aging process of your wood floor. This is called patina, and is an expected, even desired effect of natural wood.

 

o

High heels will cause severe indentations on hard wood floor. Any damage to wood floors caused by high heels will not be covered under your warranty.

 

o

Do not use Murphy's Oil Soap or any cleaning products without referring to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual.

 

o

Wood floors must be protected with plywood or another protective barrier whenever furniture or appliances are moved.

 

o

Standing water, steam, or excessive moisture of any kind will severely damage wood floors. Use special care when wood is installed in any kitchen, bath, or utility area. Do not damp-mop wood floors, as it can cause "cupping" and "peaking", or raising of sides or ends on planks.

 

o

The wood floors are not sanded on the job site. The wood floors are pre-finished and may result in "over boarding" (one plank being slightly higher than another). Flushness of +/- 1/32", the thickness of a credit card, is considered industry standard and to be expected.

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

3.1 Wood Floors - Maintenance and Care Instructions.

 

 

o

Wood floors require regular maintenance. Examples of regular maintenance include sweeping with a specialty terry cloth flooring mop or using the soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner regularly.

 

o

Use throw rugs both inside and outside each exterior doorway to prevent dirt, grit, and debris from being tracked in onto your hardwood floors. This will help prevent scratching.

 

o

Wipe up spills immediately. Refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual for approved surface cleaners (e.g., Mohawk Floor Care Essentials Hard Surface Cleaner) and instructions on proper cleaning techniques. Standing water will raise the grain of the wood and may permanently damage the wood's surface.

 

o

Use furniture pads on the feet of your furniture to help prevent scuffing and scratching. Do not slide or drag furniture across your hardwood floor. Pick up the furniture completely when moving.

 

o

If hardwood is installed in the kitchen, place an area rug in front of the kitchen sink and dishwasher.

 

o

Keep the temperature and humidity controls on year-round. All hardwood floors can be adversely affected by extreme changes in humidity and temperature. During hot, humid weather a de-humidifier may be required. Although engineered wood floors are less affected than solid wood floors, in the dry, heated winter months humidification may be necessary to prevent surface checking.

 

o

Do not wet mop a hardwood floor, this will raise the grain and may permanently damage the wood's surface. Refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual for approved cleaning products and proper cleaning techniques.

 

o

Do not wax or polish your hardwood floor.

 

o

Cleaner and a specialty terry cloth flooring mop available from your local Mohawk flooring store. See the store locator for a Mohawk dealer nearest you - http://www.mohawkflooring.com/my-mohawk/find-a-store.aspx.

 

o

For more information related to the maintenance and care of wood floors, refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual.

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, Buyer will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to your manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

4. Natural Wood Cabinets. Beautiful wood grain is not manufactured. As a product of many years of natural growth, variations in color and graining showcase the priceless handy work of nature. You will be more satisfied with your purchase if you can make educated decisions to get the best performance from your product. Please read over the following information. It describes factors that Seller and Seller's cabinet manufacturers cannot control and for which Seller cannot be held responsible.

 

4.1 Wood Characteristics: Color, Grain, and Markings. Natural variations in the wood will be present in all cabinetry, resulting in unique character markings on adjacent cabinets, on pairs of doors, and even within the same panel. Seller points out these unique characteristics of cabinets as a reminder that each piece of wood is different and the varied effect of finished cabinetry will be different from that represented by a sample or display. The variations can be broad; Seller is not responsible for the type or degree of variation in your cabinetry. A completely consistent look cannot be achieved with a finished natural wood.

 

 

o

The tree's sapwood (outer, living part) is often distinctly different in color from its heartwood (inner, dormant part).

 

o

Small pin knots and some larger knots can form during the tree's natural pruning process of eliminating adventitious buds and limbs.

 

o

Most woods have a uniform texture and are generally strait grained, but can also have "curly", "fiddle-back", "tiger-stripe", and/or "birds-eye" patterns. Any of these patterns can be expected in your product.

 

o

Certain soil factors can cause variation in wood color.

 

o

Other natural circumstances, including weather conditions or the intrusion of living things such as insects or vines can cause discolorations and wounds. The tree over time will heal itself and incorporate these features into the wood.

 

o

Maple sapwood is creamy white with a slight reddish brown tinge and the heartwood varies from light to dark reddish brown. The amount of darker brown heartwood can vary significantly according to growing region and will darken with age upon exposure to natural light.

 

o

Since natural events such as these are responsible for most of the inherent features or imprints found in wood, no tree will be completely free of them.

 

4.2 Finish Information. These latest techniques are designed to be hand-worked, making each piece look "one of a kind." When joining together many of these similar but "one of a kind pieces" to make up an entire kitchen, the intelligible variances of each component may be clear.

 

 

o

Wash - Expect the wash application over the base finish to provide for uneven retention of the wash on the details on the front of your cabinet doors and drawers. This is referred to as "wash hang-up", and the degree of variation is based on the hardness and grain of the wood and is not intentional. Face frames will be washed if the cabinets are designated "full wipe". The molding accessories will have glazing applied to them; this includes flat panel ends and raised panel end.

 

o

Glaze - The inking procedure creates a dark or light profile outline of the various dimensions of the cabinet box, doors, and drawers. This attention to detail lends a mystic and striking decorative element to a finely crafted set of cabinets. The inking process is hand-created and is not stamped out by a machine, therefore, expect less than perfect uniformity of thickness of the profile.

 

o

Paint - The painted product is a full coverage product applied with highly specialized finishing equipment. Paint on wood and MDF surfaces has the potential to develop visible cracking around the jointed area of doors and face frames due to expansion and contraction. An open joint line is not considered a defect and is considered a natural occurrence in the cabinet industry. Sunlight, smoke, moisture, household cleaners and other environmental conditions may cause materials to vary from their original color and/or to warp, split or crack.

 

4.3 Veneers. The front of the cabinet boxes and the flat exposed ends are made using veneers. Wood and painted veneers will have variation as a result of nature, dye lot, exposure to light, and aging. Changes in humidity and temperature, improper care and maintenance, exposure to natural and artificial light, and other conditions will adversely affect the veneer, cause warpage, checking, cracking, fading, darkening or discoloration, and cause other unwanted conditions and is not warranted.

Oklahoma and Texas (05-OCT-22)

 

 

4.4 Care and Maintenance.

 

 

o

Wipe with a clean, soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Never use a dishcloth or sponge that might contain remnants of detergent or grease. To remove food residue or grease, use any common dishwashing liquid-not detergent-or solution of mild soap and water. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If a spill occurs, clean and dry immediately. Left unattended, a spill can soak through the wood surface and cause damage.

 

o

Do not use soap pads, steel wool, or cleaners that contain bleach, ammonia, or abrasives. These agents may cause discoloration, marring, or dulling of the finish. Do not wax or polish cabinet surfaces. Wax build-up will leave a residue that is difficult to remove. The extensive use of wax or silicone polishes can result in a film build-up which will destroy the cabinet's finish and void the warranty.

 

o

Excess moisture can damage the cabinet finish. Clean spills, water, or moisture from cabinets immediately. Give special attention to areas around the sink and dishwasher. Avoid draping damp or wet dishcloths over cabinet doors. Over time, this moisture can cause permanent damage to your cabinet finish. Water damage to cabinets is not covered under warranty.

 

4.5 Color Changes with Age. Even though the most chemically advanced screening products are used, exposing the cabinets to light, particularly sunlight, will cause the finish to yellow to some degree. Because this effect increases with time, Seller and Seller's cabinet manufactures cannot guarantee exact color matching for replacement parts ordered after the original job was installed.

 

PLEASE NOTE: SIZES OF CABINET UNITS AND CABINET OPTIONS VARY PER PLAN. Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re- select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the natural wood cabinets.

5. Carpet. Carpet is one of the most widely used floor coverings in residential homes. As with all floor coverings, there are characteristics of carpet that are important to know. While all of the carpets installed in Seller's homes have some level of stain protector no carpet is stain proof.

 

 

o

Seams are not invisible. Seams will be more visible in a lighter colored carpet than in a darker colored carpet, but all seams are visible to a certain extent.

 

o

All carpets show tracks. We offer some textured carpets that track "less," but none are "track proof."

 

o

Colors and shades do vary from one dye lot to another. Installed carpet will be noticeably different in color when compared to the Design Studio sample.

 

o

Many types of carpet will shed after installation for a short period of time. This "fuzz" is normal. Carpets should be vacuumed more often for the first 6 months until fuzzing disappears.

 

o

Use an upright vacuum cleaner with a beater bar for routine cleaning (at least twice a week under normal use).

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns; etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the carpet.

6. Berber Carpet. Berber style carpet requires different care and maintenance and has characteristics/benefits specific only to Berber carpet. Some of the characteristics are given below:

 

 

o

Seams are more apparent with Berber carpet and will show color variation at seams. Because Berber carpet is constructed in "loops" it does not "bloom" and cover seams like traditional carpet. The tighter the construction of the loop, the more visible the seam. In very tight loop Berber, seams will be as evident as those in upholstered furniture or clothing. This is considered industry standard, and is to be expected.

 

 
Page 3 of 8

Oklahoma and Texas (05-OCT-22)

 

 

 

o

Stains are more noticeable due to loop construction.

 

o

The backing of your carpet will show on stairs due to the row effect of your Berber. This is called "smiling."

 

o

You will have a firmer feeling under foot. You will not experience a cushy, spongy feel.

 

o

Berber is not recommended for homeowners with indoor pets. Berber does snag easily and can unravel. Sharp toys and high heels can also cause loop pulls.

 

o

You must raise your vacuum beater bar so it does not come in contact with the carpet.

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The "lines" in your Berber will not "line up" with the walls or other flooring surfaces in a perfectly perpendicular manner.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading, more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options.

7. Granite Countertop. Due to the fact that granite is a product of nature, the characteristics of a particular sample will not be uniformly present in other samples of the same color. A sample serves only to indicate, in a general way, the color, markings, and texture usually found in a block of granite. Because of the inherent characteristics, no two pieces of granite, such as sections of a kitchen countertop, will be identical. The Countertops or areas of the countertops will not be replaced due to color and/or texture variation within or between the pieces of your installation.

 

 

o

Because granite is natural and is quarried from the ground, it contains inherent weak spots, including but not limited to: (i) Hairline cracks (caused during the quarrying process); (ii) Fissures (natural clefts in the formation which are mistaken for cracks); (iii) Pits (small crystals that loosen and may fall out during polishing, leaving small voids in the surface); and (iv) Inclusions (areas of stone which do not look like the rest of the stone).

 

o

Any movement of cabinets, walls or general settling of your Home could cause any of these to open and/or become more noticeable.

 

o

The American Marble Institute deems it appropriate to repair any surface blemishes or cracks during the fabrication and installation process; it is Seller's practice to follow these guidelines.

 

o

Because granite is quarried from the ground, it is impossible to do seamless or seemingly seamless installations of countertops. Granite countertop seams can be seen and felt. Granite slabs are not always perfectly flat causing some seams to be uneven from front to back. Countertop seams will be flush +/- 1/32" (the thickness of a credit card).

 

o

Since granite is a quarried material, slab sizes are random. It is not possible to locate seams for a given plan in the same place from one house to the next. Seams will be placed where necessary based on kitchen layout and material constraints. This includes seams in the sink or cook top cutouts. The fabricator determines seam location for each installation. Seam location cannot be specified by the homebuyer, and cannot be changed after installation.

 

o

Being very porous, granite may absorb many types of liquids and will be prone to staining. All granite countertops installed will need to be sealed and re-sealed by Buyer on a yearly basis to help protect against staining.

 

o

The polished finish of granite is very durable; however, it can be scratched with other household items. The finish may be dulled with the application of various food acids such as citric acids, lactic (milk) acids, vegetable acids (like tomatoes), unapproved cleaning agents and general wear.

 

o

Oil based materials, such as cooking oils, are natural stone's worst enemy. Care should be taken when using oil-based materials and spills should be cleaned up immediately.

 

o

Support: 3cm granite will not have subdecking, and will rest directly on the cabinets or support walls. All overhang and cantilever areas will be braced with flat steel support strips underneath. Overhangs larger than 12" may require additional bracing and support as determined by the builder. Bracing will necessarily be visible.

 

o

Undermount sink walls will be flush with countertop cut-out within a variance of ¼" on any or all sides.

 

o

Group IV (Platinum Level) granites all contain extreme variation and cannot be controlled from slab to slab. When selecting one of these specialty granites know that the variation is random and countertops will not be changed or altered for any reason after installation.

8. Ceramic Tile/Grout. Ceramic or porcelain tile is an exceptionally durable floor and wall covering. It is a kiln- fired clay product, made with products courtesy of "Mother Nature". As with all fired products, there will be some variation in size and shade. This is an inherent quality of ceramic or porcelain tile and results in varying color and sizing from tile to tile. With modern technology, ceramic or porcelain tile can be made to mimic nature's variations. It seems the part of nature we enjoy the most is its beautiful, non-synthetic, imperfect perfection.

 

 

o

If different tiles sizes are used, it will cause "lipping" (one tile sticking out farther than the other) due to the different thickness of each material type. This should be considered when selecting a pinwheel pattern.

 

o

Lipping is also extremely prevalent when laying tile in a herringbone pattern in a large area especially in a room with large windows.

 

o

Tile will have dye lot variations, texture differences, or lack of uniformity in color. This is extremely apparent when combing two sizes of tile for example in a pinwheel pattern. Often tile sizes are made a different manufacturing plants and it is impossible to control or match the dye lots of the two sizes. This should be considered when selecting a pinwheel pattern.

 

o

Many factors determine tile layout and location of cut tiles, including but not limited to wall levelness, placement of finished edges, adjacencies, room/area size and shape, and pattern variables. Cut placement is at the discretion of the installer. Homeowners do not determine placement of tiles and cuts.

 

o

SELLER DOES NOT seal the grout to allow the material to fully cure.

 

o

Grout is extremely porous, and it will stain. Buyer may elect to seal your grout after closing, however a sealant will change the chemical compound of your grout, making the grout difficult to match in the event a future repair is needed. Keep in mind, a sealant will only temporarily protect your grout, and will need to be stripped and reapplied regularly per manufacturers' instructions.

 

o

The conglomerate nature of grout will cause grout colors to vary and also allows for expansion and contraction of grout joints. Some resulting grout cracks are normal.

 

o

The industry has established realistic guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc., in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious.

 

o

Grout lines using multiple tile sizes will also vary in thickness due to size differences between tiles. This look is considered "industry standard" and is to be expected.

 

o

Grout colors are subject to variation.

 

o

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are resistant to germs and bacteria and it is also among the easiest of flooring materials to clean. You can clean your porcelain tile with a damp sponge mop. A solution of 1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of water works best, allowing time for drying. You can also sweep or vacuum. Although the glaze of a tile is impervious, it is still possible for its surface to discolor from certain chemicals.

 

o

Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia-based cleaners may modify grout color and product stability.

 

o

Use a cleaner that is pH neutral. This ensures cleaning will not harm your grout or surrounding surfaces.

 

o

Do not use wax or oil-based cleaners.

 

o

Mandatory grout width with all tile is 3/16".

 

o

Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors. Tiles are scratch resistant but not scratch proof.

 

o

Do not use steel wool or other abrasive pads to remove tough debris or stains. Steel wool may scratch your tiles and loose steel particles may eventually create rust stains in the grout over time.

 

o

Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the floor prior to washing with water to prevent the tile from becoming muddy or leaving a residue after on textured surfaces sweep in multiple directions to ensure the removal of all foreign material that might be residing in the textured surface. For wall surfaces tile can be gently wiped down with a clean, dry cloth or rag.

 

o

Be careful with acidic foods, drinks and dyes as they may stain certain types of grout.

 

o

Prolonged use of bleach and ammonia-based products may cause the grout to become brittle over time and in wet applications may result in water damage due to cracking and deterioration.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

9. Stone/Tile Medallions. Daltile medallions made with natural stone products inherently lack uniformity and are subject to variation in aesthetics (color, shade, finish, texture, etc.) and performance (hardness strength, slip resistance, absorbency, etc).

 

o Irregularities in individual components of medallions are considered part of the material's beauty, and to be expected.

o Many types of natural stone may contain areas of broken, open or dry seams, pits, chips, fossils, and glass veins that may or may not be filled at the factory or during installation. This is to be expected.

o Variance in height of individual tile and/or marble components is to be expected.

o Finish, shine, texture, pattern, and shading may vary from one piece to another.

o Field tiles and grout lines will not line up with medallion center or borders.

o Medallions or their components will not be changed out due to these irregularities or any resulting fillings made during fabrication or installation.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Medallions are placed in pre-determined locations per plan and will not be moved for any reason. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the stone/tile medallions.

10. Travertine. Travertine is a calcium-based stone. Travertine is generated by the deposit of calcium carbonate resulting from water springs and streams running through the stone. Every time a drop in pressure or change of temperature occurs, the water releases carbon dioxide as gas, much like carbonated beverages. This gas causes holes to form in the travertine. These natural pores are still going to be present once the blocks are cut into tiles. The amount of holes depends by how compact each travertine type is and it varies greatly by the type of travertine. The pores present in the tiles can be filled with a paste made of cement and pigments and/or grout. However, it is important to note that these void spaces are a distinctive character of travertine tiles and they are always going to be present.

 

10.1 Characteristics of Travertine. Travertine has extreme variation in shape, color, porosity, finish and texture. When choosing this product you recognize that the material in your Home will vary significantly from the samples shown. This quarried product with its unique, natural veining and impurities offers perhaps the most unique look available. Many of its characteristics are listed below.

 

 

o

Travertine is a product of nature. Minerals and fossilized impurities become part of the stone and add irregularities to its appearance. These are not defects in your travertine, they are inherent with natural stone.

 

o

Travertine is a porous material and for that reason the finish cannot be guaranteed. The stone is sealed with Aqua Mix Sealers Choice Gold, but to maintain resistance to absorbency, it should be resealed annually.

 

o

Veining will likely occur. This is a natural "weak" spot in the stone, and may crack.

 

o

Finish, shine, texture, pattern, and shading may vary from one piece to another.

 

o

Travertine is very porous and it will stain, scratch and etch.

 

 

Part of the natural beauty of travertine is that it has been broken by tumbling. Tumbled stones will have irregular edges, holes, and veining.

 

o

Travertine may have pits and fissures. Some of these may have a factory "fill" product applied, and some may remain open. Grout applied during installation may fill some or all open areas. Irregularity in this product and its application is to be expected, and is considered to add to the "old world" appearance of the stone.

 

o

Please understand the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture may be more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

o

Versailles pattern will appear differently based on angles and direction of the floor plan.

 

 

o Filled portions of pits and pores will chip out with everyday wear and tear, especially in high traffic areas. This is not a defect in the stone or with the installation. It is to be expected. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller is not liable for warranty claims due to this issue.

Oklahoma and Texas (05-OCT-22)

 

 

10.2 Travertine Care and Maintenance. Proper care and maintenance of travertine is essential for durability, elegance and longevity. The following are cleaning guidelines to assist you with the care of your travertine floors. Travertine floors should be cleaned weekly in addition to regular dust mopping.

 

 

o

Dirt and dust can scratch the surface of travertine therefore regularly sweep floors with a broom made of soft material, vacuum or mop with a clean dry micro-fiber cloth. Use only vacuum cleaners fitted with a glider. Metal and plastic attachments in addition to the wheels can scratch the surface.

 

o

Travertine should be cleaned with neutral cleaners or mild soaps specifically designed for travertine and/or stone. These cleaners contain no acids or bleach and are concentrated neutral pH cleaners that will not affect existing sealers. A solution of the cleaner and water mixed to the manufacturers instructions should be applied to the travertine surface with a sponge or mop. After mopping the travertine surface clean any excess cleaner and/or liquid off with a clean damp micro-fiber cloth to remove any residue from the cleaner. Follow with a dry micro-fiber cloth. Make sure all excess moisture is cleaned up.

 

o

Avoid all abrasive cleaners and/or cleaning pads.

 

o

Clean any liquid spills as soon as possible to prevent damage to the travertine. Liquid spills allowed to stand will cause damage. Acidic substances such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, coffee, wine and juices will damage travertine causing staining and a dulled finish.

 

o

Protective padding on furniture legs and area rugs are recommended to prevent etching and scratching.

 

DO dust mop floors frequently

 

DON'T use vinegar or other acid cleaners

 

 

 

DO clean floors with a neutral pH cleaner or stone cleaner

 

DON'T use abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads

 

 

 

DO thoroughly rinse and dry floors after mopping

 

DON'T use bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub/tile cleaners

 

 

 

DO blot up spills immediately

 

DON'T slide furniture or heavy items across floors

 

 

 

DO protect floors with non-slip mats or area rugs

 

DON'T use vacuum's that do not have a glider

 

 

 

DO squeegee or wipe shower walls to reduce residue buildup

 

DON'T use bleach residue buildup

 

Travertine floors are an investment giving a beautifully unique look to any home. However due to the many unpredictable characteristics, in addition to daily care and maintenance much consideration should be given when selecting this product.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Travertine is a natural product with inherent shade and/or texture variations, natural seams and imperfections. Seller assumes no responsibility or liability for any labor or material claims made before or after closing due to any variations, inherent characteristics or improper care and maintenance of travertine.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the travertine.

APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY ADDENDUM

 

THIS APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III ("Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

2. Contingency. This above referenced Agreement is contingent upon an independent appraisal as follows:

 

2.1. Buyer has elected to obtain a mortgage loan from Lender (as defined in the Agreement) to finance the transaction contemplated by the Agreement. Buyer understands that the amount of the mortgage loan provided by Lender is subject to the Lender's "loan to value" ratio, which is the percentage of the mortgage amount in relation to the appraised value of the Property as determined by the Lender's appraisal. The Lender's appraisal of the Property at the then current market conditions at the time of Closing may not equal the Total Purchase Price.

 

2.2. Buyer understands and agrees that any entry by Buyer or Buyer's appraiser shall be done at Buyer's risk and in compliance within all of Seller's safety guidelines and federal, state and local safety laws and regulations, and as required by the Agreement and other Addenda to the Agreement, which remain in full force and effect.

If Buyer elects (i) above, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and retain the Deposit as agreed upon liquidated damages for taking the Property off of the market and for Seller's carrying costs and associated marketing and administrative costs. The parties acknowledge that Seller's actual damages in the event of a breach or default by Buyer under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties' best estimate of such damages. The parties further agree that the amount of liquidated damages is fixed and agreed to as a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller shall suffer and is not in the nature of a penalty. If Buyer elects (ii) above, under no circumstance shall the Buyer be excused from performance under this Agreement; except for a Seller default under the Agreement. Buyer understands that the option referenced in this paragraph must be selected within five (5) calendar days of Buyer receiving the appraisal. If Buyer fails to provide its selection in writing to Seller within the required time frame, Buyer will be in default and Seller shall have the right to exercise all available remedies as set forth herein and in the Agreement.

 

2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement provides for a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guaranteed or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured loan, the applicable appraisal requirements are set forth in the FHA/VA Rider and incorporated herein.

 

3. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document.

ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL STONE FLOORS AND COUNTERTOPS

 

THIS ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL STONE FLOORS AND COUNTERTOPS (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 30 of Block G, of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Natural Stone Flooring and Countertops. Natural stones with varying colors and mineral compositions ("Stone") are found in quarries throughout the world. Stone including, without limitation, marble and granite, are therefore products of nature and vary in color, markings, shade, and texture. Buyer acknowledges that Stone is not uniform and that Seller can make no guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Stone to be used in the Home. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Stone to be used/installed in Buyer's Home:

 

2.1 Cleaning. Care should be exercised when cleaning Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Stone.

 

2.2 Natural Inconsistencies. Stone contains natural inconsistencies which will be present in Stone flooring and/or countertops in the Home; such natural inconsistencies are normal and are not defects.

 

2.3 Edges and Corners. There may be changes in the patterning of Stone from one edge or corner of the flooring or countertop to another edge or corner; such changes in patterning is normal and is not a defect.

 

2.4 Fissures and Pits. Stone may contain fissures and pits that occur naturally and may appear as a small hole or recess; such fissures and pits are not cracks or defects.

 

2.5 Spots, Freckles, and Rust. Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

2.6 Seams. Stone is almost never seamless due to the techniques employed to cut the slab of Stone in a way that preserves the maximum beauty of such Stone. Pieces of Stone must therefore be fitted together and the Stone used in the Home will not be seamless and may have visible seams, which are not defects.

 

2.7 Wallboard and Plaster. Stone is cut by machine to be straight. Irregularities occurring in the Home may mean that the installer has to force pieces of Stone into the wallboard or plaster during installation to compensate for the irregularities. Shims, caulking and putty may be used to fill imperfections in walls and floors in order to install Stone flooring and countertops. There may be such shims, caulking and/or putty in the Stone used in the Home, which shims, caulking and/or putty are used to enhance the installation and are not defects.

 

2.8 Staining. Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

2.9 Sink Cabinet. The cabinet directly under the sink shall be six (6) inches larger than the sink, as a sink of larger size will preclude natural adjustment of seams and edges of Stone countertop and may result in a deterioration of the Stone countertop.

 

3. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

4. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

5. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

Cooperating Broker may extend the Registration Period for an additional ninety (90) days by sending a written request (phone requests for an extension will not be accepted) to the sales office for the Community before the expiration of the initial Registration Period.

 

4.2 Cooperating Broker shall be entitled to receive the Commission, provided that the Prospect (i) is properly registered, (ii) contracts to purchase a home from the on-site sales staff in the Community ("NewHome Consultant") before the expiration of the Registration Period, and (iii) closes on the transaction pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event two or more brokers claim that they are entitled to a commission from having registered a Prospect, the cooperating broker who registers the Prospect last will be entitled to the commission. This registration, or any extension thereof, does not protect Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate from another broker or sales associate registering the same Prospect in the Community. Seller will pay the Commission to Cooperating Broker, provided that the terms and conditions contained herein are satisfied and except as otherwise set forth above relating to later-registering cooperating brokers. In all cases, Sales Associate agrees to look solely to Cooperating Broker for payment of any commission. By way of example, if Sales Associate terminates his/her employment with a registered Cooperating Broker who is entitled to a commission pursuant to this Participation Policy, then Sales Associate shall have no claim against Seller with respect to such commission.

 

4.3 Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate acknowledge that this Participation Policy, the registration forms, sign-up sheets and other incentives, contracts, or forms given to Prospects or buyers of homes are trade secrets of Seller. Cooperating Broker agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses of whatever nature or kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and costs relating to or arising out of any claim against Seller as a result of conduct or representations made by Cooperating Broker and/or Sales Associate. In the event that Seller must enforce or defend any of the terms and conditions of this Participation Policy, Seller shall be entitled to collect from Cooperating Broker reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and costs.

 

5. Cooperating Broker Status and Duties. Cooperating Broker hereby represents, warrants and covenants that Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate are licensed in the state in which the Home is located. Each of Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate will comply with all requirements of applicable law as a single agent (or transaction broker) in their representation of Buyer in the purchase of the Home and will assist the parties with communication, interposition, advisement, negotiation, contract terms and closing. At the written request of Seller, Sales Associate will provide a copy of Cooperating Broker's and/or Sales Associate's current and valid broker or sales associate license(s) to Seller or it designee.

 

6. Special Incentive. In addition to the Commission, Seller has agreed to provide Cooperating Broker the following additional special incentive at Closing: , which has a cash value of $.00 ("Special Incentive"). Seller's obligation to provide the Special Incentive to Cooperating Broker at Closing is conditioned on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Broker Agreement for the payment of the Commission to Cooperating Broker. Cooperating Broker acknowledges that total broker compensation cannot exceed 7% of the Total Purchase Price (as that term is defined in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum). Each bonus/incentive program is a separate program and will not be valid in conjunction with any other offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the Special Incentive at Closing with another incentive of equivalent cash value. If Seller determines, in its sole discretion, prior to Closing that Special Incentive is not permitted by applicable law, Seller's obligations with respect to the Special Incentive under this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect, and Seller shall have no obligation to provide any Special Incentive (or its cash equivalent) to Cooperating Broker at Closing. Cooperating Broker has acknowledged and agreed that Seller may provide, but shall have no obligation to provide, nominal incentives of no cash value to Cooperating Broker's sales associate or agent at Closing.

Dear Homebuyer(s):

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Lennar Home.

 

As part of Lennar’s commitment to quality, value and integrity, your Home is covered by a limited one-year warranty on workmanship, a limited two-year warranty on systems and a limited 10-year warranty on structural elements (also known as the “Lennar Limited Warranty” or “Limited Warranty”).

 

The Lennar Limited Warranty is detailed in this document as to the scope of your Warranty coverage. Please take the time to become familiar with this Warranty document and read it in its entirety. It defines our responsibilities to you, and your responsibilities to your Home. Please keep in mind that the proper maintenance of your Home is vital, and if you do not perform the required maintenance on your Home on a regular basis, it can and will limit your Warranty rights.

 

While we are confident that Lennar can resolve any Warranty items to your satisfaction, you should be aware that this Limited Warranty includes a requirement that all disputes be submitted to binding arbitration.

 

Lennar is happy to answer any questions that you have about your Lennar Limited Warranty or specific construction standards and how they apply to your Home. However, please know that the content of this Warranty Booklet controls Lennar’s obligations to you and your Home to the extent that there may be any differences between the content of this document and your conversations with any of our Lennar Associates.

 

Congratulations again - and enjoy your new Home!

Express Limited Warranty: The “Lennar Limited Warranty” 

 

Under the Lennar Limited Warranty, the seller of your Home (“Lennar”) commits that the components of your Home will perform to the standards listed in this Warranty Booklet. Specific components of your Home are covered for either one, two or ten years under the Lennar Limited Warranty, and Lennar’s obligations are expressly limited to those standards and for only those time periods as explained below. Please take the time to review the section titled “What Is Not Covered By The Lennar Limited Warranty” which lists those items excluded from the Lennar Limited Warranty. The Lennar Limited Warranty commences on the date of closing of the original purchase of the Home (the “Closing Date”). The protection periods provided below are referred to in the Lennar Limited Warranty as “Warranty Terms.”

 

Workmanship Protection for Year 1

 

For one year from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the components of the Home set forth in the Workmanship Standards found on pages 14 to 48 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Workmanship Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Workmanship Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a component is performing in accordance with the Workmanship Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and or replacements necessary to meet the Workmanship Standards. Please note that a limited number of items in the Workmanship Standards are subject to a one-time repair obligation.

 

Systems Protection for Years 1-2

 

For two years from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the components of the Home set forth in the Systems Standards found on pages 49 and 50 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Systems Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Systems Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a component is performing in accordance with the Systems Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and/or replacements necessary to meet the Systems Standards.

 

Structural Protection for Years 1 through 10

 

For ten years from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the structural components of the Home set forth in the Structural Components Standards found on page 51 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Structural Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Structural Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a structural component is performing in accordance with those Structural Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and/or replacements necessary to meet the Structural Standards and may, at its sole election, implement repairs in phases to determine if structural components can be stabilized as part of meeting its obligations under the Structural Standards.

 

Transferability

 

All of your rights and obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty shall, unless previously released by you or your successor, fully transfer to each successor owner of the Home, including any mortgagee in possession, for the remainder of the applicable Warranty Term and any transfer shall in no way affect, increase or reduce the coverage under the Lennar Limited Warranty for its unexpired term. If you sell your Home during the Warranty Term, you agree to give this Warranty Booklet to the successor owner to inform the successor owner of warranty rights and to otherwise make it possible for the successor owner to fulfill the successor owner’s obligations under the terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty. If you are an owner other than the original purchaser of the Home, you are bound by all the terms and conditions of the Lennar Limited Warranty including, but not limited to, claims procedures and the requirement to submit any disputes that may arise under the Lennar Limited Warranty to binding arbitration.

Requesting Lennar Limited Warranty Service

 

If you believe that a component of your Home is not performing to the Lennar Limited Warranty standards during the applicable Warranty Term, you must send the appropriate Notice of Workmanship/Systems Claim Form or Notice of Structural Claim Form (located at this back of this booklet)(“Notice of Claim”) to Lennar.

 

The Notice of Claim must list the specific warranty claim and the date that you first observed the condition that is the subject of the claim. You must notify Lennar of any observed component that you believe is not performing to Lennar Limited Warranty standards as soon as possible and in no event later than the date the applicable warranty expires, by sending the Notice of Claim to the appropriate Customer Care office.

 

We must receive your Notice of Claim not later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Workmanship, Systems or Structural Warranty expires or we will have no further obligation to you under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar is not responsible for repairs or any other costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and engineers’ fees) incurred by you prior to the date you give Lennar a Notice of Claim. In the event that you fail to notify us and give us the opportunity to inspect and repair the conditions giving rise your claim, Lennar will not be responsible for any repairs or any other costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and engineers’ fees) you incur to address the claim.

 

We will respond to a timely Notice of Workmanship or System Claim within thirty (30) days and complete any warranted repairs within sixty (60) days of receipt of your written Notice of Claim to us unless (i) you or other events beyond our reasonable control delay our completion (including a failure to allow prompt inspections of your Home), or (ii) the condition reasonably requires more than sixty (60) days to properly repair. If we determine that any of the Workmanship or Systems items you report to us are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty, we will endeavor to advise you in writing within thirty (30) days of our determination of no coverage.

 

Additional time may be required for us to assess structural claims and evaluate our response. As such, we will respond to any Notice of Structural Claim within (60) days of receipt of your written Notice of Structural Claim unless you or other events beyond our control delay our response (including a failure to allow prompt inspections of your Home).

Additional time may be required to investigate, design, implement and/or complete structural repairs beyond the

(60) days by which we commit to complete Workmanship/Systems repairs. If we determine that any of the Structural items you report to us are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty, we will endeavor to advise you in writing within (30) thirty days of our determination of no coverage.

 

Investigation of claims often requires inspection of the Home, and under certain circumstances, invasive testing might be needed. We may request additional documents or information from you, and you agree as part of the Lennar Limited Warranty to fully cooperate with the investigation of your claim. By submitting a Notice of Claim, you agree to grant Lennar and/or its representatives prompt and complete access to your Home during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to inspect, repair and conduct tests in your Home as we may deem necessary. If you refuse to allow us access to your Home, such denial of access shall void the Lennar Limited Warranty with respect to your claim.

 

Lennar reserves the option to repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost of repair or replacement for any warranted and covered claim. Prior to Lennar undertaking repairs, replacement or payment, you agree to assign to Lennar all claims you may have against any other person or entity who Lennar or you believe may have any responsibility associated with the warranted and covered claim.

 

If you believe that we have not met our obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty, you may seek resolution of any claim you may have pursuant to the mediation/arbitration provisions set forth in the following section of the Warranty Booklet.

Mediation/Arbitration Of Disputes

 

The terms “Buyer” and “Seller” as used in this section of your warranty shall have the same meaning as set forth in your Purchase and Sale Agreement. By purchasing a Lennar home and receiving this warranty, Buyer specifically agrees that this transaction involves interstate commerce and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. “Disputes” (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims

(1) arising under, or related to, your Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Property, the Community or any dealings between Buyer and Seller; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Seller or Seller’s representative; and (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer’s children or other occupants of the Property, or in the Community. Buyer has executed this Agreement on behalf of his or her children and other occupants of the Property with the intent that all such parties be bound hereby. Any Dispute shall be submitted for binding arbitration within a reasonable time after such Dispute has arisen. Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

Any and all mediations commenced by Buyer and Seller shall be filed with and administered by the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Home Construction Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the request. If there are no Home Construction Mediation Procedures currently in effect, then the AAA’s Construction Industry Mediation Rules in effect on the date of such request shall be utilized. Unless mutually waived in writing by the parties, submission to mediation is a condition precedent to either party taking further action with regard to any matter covered hereunder.

 

If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Home Construction Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the request. If there are no Home Construction Arbitration Rules currently in effect, then the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such request shall be utilized. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. Arbitrators shall have expertise in the area(s) of Dispute, which may include legal expertise if legal issues are involved. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). At the request of either Buyer or Seller, the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be accompanied by detailed written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Section shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. Buyer and Seller further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Seller’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Seller may, at its sole election, include Seller’s contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Buyer and Seller further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties.

Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each of Buyer and Seller shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer or Seller unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the noncontesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if Buyer or Seller fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award

 

Buyer may obtain additional information concerning the rules of the AAA by visiting its website at www.adr.org or by writing the AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

 

Seller supports the principals set forth in the Consumer Due Process Protocol developed by the National Consumer Dispute Advisory Committee and agrees to the following:

 

Notwithstanding the requirements of arbitration stated in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the option, after pursuing mediation as provided herein, to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the court’s jurisdiction in lieu of proceeding to arbitration. This option does not apply to any appeal from a decision by a small claims court.

 

Seller agrees to pay for one (1) day of mediation (mediator fees plus any administrative fees relating to the mediation). Any mediator and associated administrative fees incurred thereafter shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

The filing fees and case service fees for any claim pursued via arbitration shall be apportioned as provided in the Home Construction Arbitration Rules of the AAA or other applicable rules. The fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Seller or Buyer seeks injunctive relief, and not monetary damages, from a court because irreparable damage or harm would otherwise be suffered by either party before mediation or arbitration could be conducted, such actions shall not be interpreted to indicate that either party has waived the right to mediate or arbitrate. The right to mediate and arbitrate should also not be considered waived by the filing of a counterclaim by either party once a claim for injunctive relief had been filed with a court.

Homeowner Obligations. You are obligated to care for your Home in such a way as to prevent or minimize damage to it and to properly maintain the Home. You should be aware that all homes go through a period of settlement and movement. During this period, your Home or components of your Home may experience some material shrinkage, cracking and other events which are normal and customary. Remember that you are responsible for proper maintenance of your Home including maintaining the original grades around your Home, planting trees and shrubs at a proper distance from your Home and conforming to generally accepted landscape practices for your region. Changing the drainage and grading patterns or trapping water near your Home as a result of homeowner changes in grades and landscaping may cause damage to your foundation.

 

Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. Except as prohibited by laws of the state in which the Home is located, all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranty of habitability, are hereby expressly disclaimed and waived. The terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not be added to or varied either orally or in writing, and you agree to immediately notify Lennar if you believe any employee or agent of Lennar has added to or varied, either orally or in writing, the terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty. Such notification shall not be deemed as a modification of the agreement regardless of whether Lennar responds to the notice either verbally or in writing. In the event that any provision of the Lennar Limited Warranty is determined to be unenforceable in your state, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Lennar Limited Warranty.

 

Cap on Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar’s total financial obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty are limited to the original sales price of your Home. This cap is calculated based on the cumulative total of all repairs, replacements or payments made during the Lennar Limited Warranty. Our costs of designing, accomplishing and monitoring repair to your Home are included in this cumulate total.

 

Consequential Damages Not Covered. Lennar shall not be liable for, and you expressly waive recovery of, any consequential damages that may result from the condition of any component of the Home, including but limited to: any diminution in value of the Home before or after repairs are performed; lost profits; damages to personal property; any personal injury of any kind including physical or mental pain and suffering and emotional distress, and any medical or hospital expenses; costs of food, moving and storage, relocation expenses, or rental value of the Home or any other costs due to loss of use, inconvenience or annoyance during repairs. Lennar will, however, reimburse you for reasonable costs of temporary hotel accommodations and a reasonable daily food allowance for such period of time that the repairs required by the claim are so extensive that you cannot reasonably reside in the Home during the repairs.

 

Other Coverage. Lennar shall not be responsible for, and the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not cover, any damages, costs or expenses that are covered by your homeowners’ insurance or other insurance, government, or third party reimbursement programs. To the extent permitted by law, Buyer and Buyer’s insurance carrier waive any right of subrogation that Buyer or its insurance carrier may have in relation to any claim that may be made under this Warranty.

 

Not an Insurance Policy. The Lennar Limited Warranty is notaninsurancepolicyand Lennar does not provide you any insurance through the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. You should always obtain homeowners’ insurance to protect your Home, and your bank or other mortgage provider may require homeowners’ insurance if you have a mortgage.

 

Discretion to Repair, Replace or Make Payment. Lennar reserves the option, at its sole discretion, to repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost of repair or replacement for any claim made under this Lennar Limited Warranty. The design method and manner of any repair shall also be at Lennar’s sole discretion.

 

Warranty Terms Not Extended. The warranty terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not be extended by any repair, replacement or payment made under the Lennar Limited Warranty. There shall be no warranty, express or implied, arising from repair or replacement work performed by or on behalf of Lennar except for the remaining original warranty term.

 

Limitations on Structural Repairs. Structural repairs are limited to only those (i) repairs of damage to load-bearing portions of your Home that are necessary to restore their load-bearing function; (ii) repair of those non-load bearing portions damaged by the condition that gives rise to the claim and whose repair is necessary to make your Home safe, sanitary or otherwise livable; and (iii) repair and cosmetic correction of only those surfaces, finishes and coverings, original to the Home, that were damaged by the condition giving rise to the claim or by the repair of the condition giving rise to the claim.

 

 

 
8

 

 

 

Limitations on Post-Repair Condition of Home. Repairs undertaken under the Lennar Limited Warranty are intended to restore the Home to approximately the same condition as existed prior to the claim, but not necessarily to like-new condition.

 

Previously Known Conditions. The Lennar Limited Warranty covers only those conditions which first occur during the term of the Lennar Limited Warranty. In addition, any conditions you knew about prior to the Effective Date of Lennar Limited Warranty such as items identified in the “walk-through,” “punch-list,” or in the case of a previously owned home, conditions that were identified on a home inspection report or were apparent through any reasonable inspection are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty.

Certain states have special laws that impact new home warranties. If your Home is located in one of the states listed below, the information set forth for your state modifies or adds to the terms of this Warranty. If your Home is not located in one of the following states, the following language is inapplicable to you and your Lennar Limited Warranty. To the extent any applicable state statute invalidates any specific provision of this Warranty, the remaining provisions of the Warranty shall remain in full force and effect.

Lennar and Homeowner expressly agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Lennar Limited Warranty establish the exclusive means to resolve all disputes that may arise between you and Lennar (unless a statute expressly provides otherwise).

 

Maryland (Non-Montgomery County)

The Lennar Limited Warranty is intended to meet or exceed the terms and rights available under Maryland Code section 10-601, and Lennar warrants that for a period of two years, your Home will be free of any defect in the electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and ventilating systems.

SUPPLY CHAIN ADDENDUM

 

THIS SUPPLY CHAIN ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is made and entered into as of March 08, 2023 and incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the date hereof, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Subdivision/Plat Sunset Oaks, in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Supply Chain Disruption & Construction Delays. Buyer acknowledges that there are acute and growing supply chain disruptions that have resulted in price increases in raw materials and construction delays. While Seller is committed to honoring the Purchase Price and exempting Buyer from having to share in the resulting cost increases, the supply chain disruptions and delays create numerous obstacles to Seller in its business of building and selling homes.

 

3. Installation of Minor Items Not Required for the Issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Buyer acknowledges that due to supply chain disruptions, some items to be installed in the Home, such as cabinet drawers and doors, shower enclosures, appliances and/or other minor finishing items (collectively, "Minor Items"), may not be installed or completed by the time a certificate of occupancy ("CO") is issued for the Property. Buyer hereby agrees that Seller's inability to install or complete the Minor Items shall not delay Closing and Buyer shall proceed to Closing as scheduled by Seller provided that a CO has been issued for the Property. Buyer shall have no right to require any escrows or holdbacks at Closing relating to the Minor Items. Any escrow or holdback requirements of Buyer's lender shall be the responsibility of Buyer and paid in addition to all other proceeds due at Closing. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the installation or completion of the Minor Items to occur promptly after Closing once the appliance(s) or other required material or labor become available.

 

4. Counterparts/Signatures. This Addendum may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

5. Survival. The terms of this Addendum shall specifically survive Closing.

 

6. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall govern the parties.

 

7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

1. Purchase and Sale. Buyer agrees to buy and Seller agrees to sell to Buyer (on the terms and conditions set forth below) Model Montour constructed or to be constructed on the following described property:

 

Lot 3 of Block M Section/Phase 4/of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat of Hays County, Texas (the "County").

 

Address: 283 Gabbro Gardens San Marcos TX 78656

 

The above described property is sometimes referred to herein as the "Homesite." The Homesite and the residence and improvements constructed or to be constructed, including all appurtenances thereto, are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the "Home". The Home is located within the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

2. Purchase Price and Payments. The total purchase price ("Total Purchase Price") for the Home, exclusive of any Closing Costs as described below, is $236,805.00. Buyer (and not a third party) has made an earnest money deposit upon the signing of this Agreement (the "Initial Deposit") of $5,000.00. Buyer shall make further payments to Seller, including but not limited to any "Additional Deposit" or "Advanced Payment" (consisting of non-refundable deposit(s) for options, extras, and upgrades) as set forth in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum attached hereto and made a part hereof. The term "Deposit" shall include the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit and Advanced Payment paid or to be paid.

 

2.1   All payments made by Buyer to Seller with respect to the Total Purchase Price (including but not limited to the Deposit) shall be paid to Seller for such purposes as Seller shall determine, and Seller shall not be required to maintain the payments in an escrow or trust account. Buyer shall have no right to interest upon the payments. If and to the extent such payments are deposited in any interest bearing account, then any interest on such payments shall inure to the benefit of Seller. At the time of Closing, the amount of the payments shall be credited to Buyer against the Total Purchase Price.

 

PROSPECTIVE BUYERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE DEPOSIT, DOWN PAYMENTS, AND OTHER ADVANCED MONEY WILL NOT BE PLACED IN A NEUTRAL ESCROW. THIS MONEY WILL BE PAID DIRECTLY TO SELLER AND MAY BE USED BY SELLER. THIS MEANS BUYER ASSUMES A RISK OF LOSING THE MONEY IF SELLER OR BUYER ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PERFORM UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

3. Builder's Fee. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the purchase of the Home, Buyer shall pay to Seller a builder's fee, equal to $1,221.00 (the "Builder's Fee"). The Builder's Fee is imposed in connection with all home sales in the Community, regardless of whether Buyer finances the purchase of the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that the Builder's Fee may not be imposed on all home sales in the Community, and Seller reserves the right to change or withdraw the Builder's Fee on subsequent home sales in the Community at any time prior to Seller's completion of construction of all homes in the Community. The Builder's Fee represents additional revenue and is intended to compensate Seller for various internal costs and expenses associated with the sales, promotion and/or development of the Community. This fee is due at Closing. The Builder's Fee is separate from any and all Closing Costs (defined herein below). While the Builder's Fee is payable, along with various other fees, costs and amounts at Closing, the Builder's Fee is not a settlement fee associated with any loan that you may obtain to finance the purchase of the Home.

4. Financing.

 

☐   NO CONTINGENCY. If this box is checked, this is a cash transaction and not contingent on financing. Buyer agrees to provide, within five (5) calendar days from the Buyer's execution of this Agreement, financial statements or other written verification of Buyer's ability to purchase the Home with cash. If Buyer does not (in Seller's sole judgment, based on the documentation provided by Buyer to Seller) have the financial ability to purchase the Home with cash, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by refunding to Buyer any paid Deposit.

 

☒   MORTGAGE CONTINGENCY. If this box is checked, this Agreement is contingent on Buyer obtaining a loan commitment within thirty (30) days (the "Mortgage Contingency Period") for a first mortgage loan from Lennar Mortgage, LLC (an affiliate of Seller), or another qualified institutional mortgage lender of Buyer's choice ("Lender"), with interest, term and service charges at current market rates at time of Closing (as defined below) for a borrower of Buyer's credit qualifications (the "Mortgage Contingency"). Buyer agrees to apply within five (5) calendar days from the execution of this Agreement for a loan at the then prevailing interest rate and terms. In the event Buyer chooses to obtain financing through a Lender other than Lennar Mortgage, LLC, Buyer agrees to promptly provide Seller, upon Seller's request, with the name, address and phone number of such Lender, the loan officer and the loan processor. Buyer shall furnish promptly and accurately to Lender all information and documents requested by Lender in connection with such application. If Buyer properly makes and pursues the loan application as provided herein but is unable to obtain mortgage loan financing, despite Buyer's good faith efforts to do so, and Buyer is not otherwise in default under this Agreement, and further provided that Buyer provides Seller with documentation from Lender that the loan has been declined, Buyer may cancel this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller within the Mortgage Contingency Period, in which event Seller shall refund any paid Deposit. If Buyer properly makes and pursues the loan application as provided herein but is unable to provide Seller with a copy of a written loan commitment reasonably satisfactory to Seller within the Mortgage Contingency Period, or if Buyer is at any time disapproved in writing by Lender for such loan (and Buyer does not cancel or withdraw his/her loan application), then Seller, at its sole discretion, may cancel this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, at Buyer's last known address, in which event Seller shall refund any paid Deposit made by Buyer. If this Agreement provides for a VA guaranteed or FHA-insured loan, Buyer's obligation to complete the purchase contemplated under this Agreement is subject to the VA/FHA Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

The following shall apply only if this Agreement is subject to the Mortgage Contingency, as indicated above:

 

4.1 Prequalification. Buyer may have obtained a "prequalification" from Lennar Mortgage, LLC for the purpose of determining Buyer's ability to purchase the Property. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS NOT OBLIGATED TO USE LENNAR MORTGAGE, LLC TO OBTAIN FINANCING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

 

4.2 Mortgage Loan. Unless Buyer shall have otherwise notified Seller in writing within the Mortgage Contingency Period, Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have obtained the loan commitment or agreed to purchase the Home without mortgage financing, and the Mortgage Contingency shall be deemed to have been satisfied.

 

4.3 Application. Buyer understands that any loan application required under this Agreement must be fully completed in order to obtain the mortgage loan, and Buyer will make a good faith attempt to qualify for the mortgage loan. If Buyer has a spouse who does not constitute a Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer agrees to have his/her spouse sign the mortgage documents as required by Lender. BUYER AGREES TO INCUR NO DEBT SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE HEREOF WHICH MIGHT JEOPARDIZE APPROVAL OF BUYER'S MORTGAGE LOAN. IF THE HOME IS BEING PURCHASED BY A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, OR OTHER ENTITY, BUYER AGREES TO (1) OBTAIN ANY PERSONAL ENDORSEMENTS OR GUARANTEES REQUIRED BY LENDER AND (2) PROVIDE TO LENDER AND/OR THE TITLE INSURER PROMPTLY UPON REQUEST SUCH CERTIFICATES, RESOLUTIONS OR OTHER CORPORATE, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AS MAY BE REQUIRED. Except as

provided in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay all loan fees and closing costs charged by Lender in connection with the mortgage loan. Buyer will pay any prepaid interest due on the mortgage loan at the time of Closing and any amount Lender may require to be put into escrow toward the payment of property taxes and insurance on the Home. Buyer will also pay any mortgage insurance premiums (prepaid or otherwise), if required by Lender.

 

4.4 Commitment Rate and Terms. Buyer understands that the rate of interest on the mortgage is established by Lender and not by Seller and that any predictions or representations of present or future interest rate that may have been contained in any advertising or promotion by Seller are not binding. If Buyer obtains a written mortgage loan commitment and the mortgage loan commitment is subsequently withdrawn through no fault of Seller including, but not limited to, any condition to such loan commitment not being satisfied for any reason (other than failure of the Home to appraise equal to or greater than the Total Purchase Price), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have agreed to purchase the Home without mortgage financing. Buyer agrees that it will make no changes to its mortgage financing arrangement within the last thirty (30) days before Closing.

 

4.5 Appraisal. If the Lender's appraiser appraises the value of the Home for less than the Total Purchase Price, Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of such fact within three (3) calendar days from the receipt of the written appraisal. Seller shall then have the option, but not the obligation, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) allow Buyer to pay the difference between the mortgage loan proceeds and the amounts required to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and proceed to Closing (the "Additional Cash to Close Funds"); or (ii) lower the Total Purchase Price to the appraised value and Buyer shall proceed to Closing. Under no circumstances shall Buyer be excused from performance under this Agreement as a result of Lender's appraisal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement provides for a VA guaranteed or FHA insured loan, the applicable appraisal requirements are set forth in the FHA/VA Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

4.6 Sale of Other Residence. Buyer represents and warrants that this Agreement and the mortgage loan referenced herein, unless otherwise provided, are not and will not be subject to or contingent upon Buyer's selling and/or closing on the sale of Buyer's present residence or other property. Failure to close on the purchase of the Home will constitute a default by Buyer and the remedies available to Seller for Buyer's default under this Agreement shall apply.

Austin-SA, Texas (01-FEB-23)

 

 

 

 

5.    Funds. Buyer shall remit to Seller the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit, and Advance Payment by check, cashier's check, or wire transfer. Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall have the right to deposit such check for the Initial Deposit without such action being deemed acceptance of this Agreement. If any such check is not paid by the bank after acceptance of this Agreement, Seller shall have the option to cancel this Agreement and declare Buyer in default. If Buyer provides any check for a Deposit in the form of Canadian currency (a "C$ check"), Seller's depository bank will convert such C$ check into a U.S. dollar amount using its currency procedures and exchange rate then in effect two (2) business days following the date of processing (the "Conversion Date") and the amount of the Deposit to be applied toward the Total Purchase Price shall be equal to the amount received by Seller from the depository bank on the Conversion Date. Seller reserves the right to charge or pass through any currency conversion-related fees or costs to the Buyer at Closing (as hereafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the balance of the Total Purchase Price plus all applicable Closing Costs (the "Closing Proceeds") shall be paid to Seller at Closing. Any funds paid by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement to Seller, including funds paid through a check or cashier's check are accepted by Seller subject to collection.

 

UNLESS A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR PAYMENT BY CASHIER'S CHECK IS RECEIVED AND APPROVED BY SELLER NOT LESS THAN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO CLOSING, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CLOSING PROCEEDS MUST BE BY FEDERAL WIRE TRANSFER IN IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BANK OR WIRE TRANSFER CHARGES AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE FEES. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS HEREIN, IF ANY DEPOSIT AND/OR CLOSING PROCEEDS ARE NOT TIMELY PAID, BUYER SHALL BE IN DEFAULT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller approves Buyer's written request to deliver a cashier's check and thereafter Buyer delivers all or any portion of the Closing Proceeds in the form of a cashier's check exceeding

$25,000.00, then Buyer will not be entitled to possession of the Home until the Closing Proceeds have cleared.

 

6.    Credit Information Authorization. Buyer authorizes Lender to whom Buyer has applied or is in the process of applying for a mortgage loan in connection with this transaction to disclose to Seller the information contained in any loan application, verification of deposit, income and employment, and credit reports or credit related documentation on Buyer. Buyer authorizes Seller to order one or more credit reports from a consumer reporting agency to be used in connection with this transaction. The cost of said report(s) is (are) to be paid by Buyer. Buyer authorizes Seller to forward all copies of all or any portion of such report(s) without interpretation to Lender who (at the request of Buyer) will evaluate a potential extension of credit to Buyer in connection with this transaction. Buyer authorizes Lender, and any credit bureau or other person or entity utilized or engaged by Lender, to obtain one or more consumer reports regarding Buyer and to investigate any information, reference, statement, or data, provided to Lender by Buyer or by any other person or entity, pertaining to Buyer's credit and financial status. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers ("Indemnified Parties"), Lender, and any credit bureau or other person or entity utilized or engaged by Lender or Seller, from and against any deficiencies, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, awards, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including attorneys' fees and expenses ("Claims") arising from an investigation of Buyer's credit and financial status.

 

7. Closing. Subject to Section 8, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has the right in its sole discretion to schedule the date, time and place for the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement ("Closing") and Buyer shall close on such Closing Date (the "Closing Date"). Buyer will be given notice of the Closing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (the "Closing Date Notice Period"). Seller is authorized to postpone or advance the date of Closing at its discretion. Seller must, however, give Buyer reasonable notice of the new Closing Date. Any notice of Closing may be given verbally, by telephone, telegraph, telex, facsimile, mail, e-mail, or other means of communication at Seller's option. All notices of Closing will be given to Buyer at the address or by use of the telephone number(s) or e-mail address(es) specified on page 1 of this Agreement unless Seller has received written notice from Buyer of any change therein prior to the date notice of Closing is given. Buyer's failure to receive the notice of Closing because Buyer has failed to advise Seller of any changes of address or phone number, or because Buyer has failed to pick up a letter when Buyer has been advised of an attempted delivery or for any other reason, shall not relieve Buyer of Buyer's obligation to close on the scheduled Closing Date, unless Seller otherwise agrees in writing to postpone the Closing Date. If Buyer fails, for any reason, to close at the date, time and place specified by Seller, Seller shall have the option to declare Buyer in default and seek the remedies stated below, or to charge Buyer $100 per day for each day after the date of Closing specified by Seller until, and including, the actual Closing Date, and Seller may require that prorations be made as of the original Closing Date. This sum shall be due and payable in full at Closing. If Seller agrees to an extension of the date of Closing beyond the last day of the month for which Closing is originally set, an additional amount equal to Two Percent (2%) of the Total Purchase Price shall be payable to Seller. The sum for extending the date of Closing beyond the last day of the month shall be due and payable in full at the Closing. Buyer agrees that the late charges are appropriate in order to cover Seller's administrative and other expenses resulting from a delay in Closing and that the amount of liquidated damages is fixed and agreed to by the parties as a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller shall suffer and is not in the nature of a penalty. Seller is not required to agree to reschedule Closing, but Seller may reschedule Closing in Seller's sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 4 above, if the Mortgage Contingency box is checked above, Seller will agree to postpone Closing and not impose late charges to the extent such postponement is required in order for Buyer's Lender to meet any pre-closing waiting period required as the result of Buyer's Lender's issuance of revised closing disclosures under 12 C.F.R. § 1026.19(f)(2)(ii) of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule when such revisions directly result from a Seller action taken within six (6) calendar days of the Closing Date. However, in such event, Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer for failure to deliver the Home on the originally scheduled Closing Date.

 

8. Completion Date. Seller is obligated to complete and does agree that the construction of the Home shall be completed not later than two (2) years from the date of Buyer's execution of this Agreement ("Outside Date"), subject only to delays caused by matters recognized by the laws of the state in which the Home is located as a defense to a contract action for non-performance or a delay in performance. As an accommodation to the Buyer, Seller has provided an estimated completion date that occurs prior to the Outside Date. It is expressly agreed by Buyer that notwithstanding anything to the contrary specified herein or verbally represented (including but not limited to Seller's sales representative), any estimated completion date is a good faith estimate only. Seller cannot guarantee that completion will occur before the Outside Date, but will endeavor to substantially complete the Home by the estimated completion date. Buyer agrees that Buyer has not relied, and will not rely upon, any estimated completion date for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, relocation of residence, storage of personal property, or lock-in financing, and Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be liable for any additional costs, expenses, or damages whatsoever should the Home not be completed by the estimated completion date. It is the express intent of the parties that the rights and obligations under this Agreement be construed in the manner necessary to exempt this Agreement and the sale of the Home from registration under the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, and both Buyer and Seller hereby expressly waive any right or provision of this Agreement that would otherwise preclude such exemption.

9. Casualty Before Closing. If the Home is damaged by fire, vandalism, act of terrorism or other casualty or condition before Closing and the cost of restoration does not exceed three percent (3%) of the Total Purchase Price and repairs will not substantially delay Closing, Seller shall repair the damage and Closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer agrees that, if the casualty or condition occurs during construction, that Seller is only obligated to restore or repair the affected part of the Home to as-new condition and that Seller is under no obligation to disclose to Buyer the fact of repair or restoration or the casualty or condition that necessitated the repair or restoration. If the cost of restoration exceeds three percent (3%) of the Total Purchase Price or the repairs would substantially delay Closing, Buyer shall have the option to: (1) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit made by Buyer to Seller, in which event both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement, or (2) have Seller repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible, and Closing shall be extended until such repair or rebuilding is complete.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or a portion of the Home is damaged by fire, vandalism, act of terrorism or other casualty or condition and the repair or reconstruction of the Home substantially in accordance with the pre-existing plans and specifications is rendered impossible by any cause recognized by the law of the state in which the Home is located as a defense to a contract action for non-performance, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit made by Buyer to Seller in which event both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement.

 

10. Deed. Seller shall convey title to Buyer at Closing by delivery to Buyer of a Special Warranty Deed (the "Deed") describing the Home, which Deed shall convey title to Buyer subject to all matters described in this Agreement. The Deed shall be recorded and shall include, without limitation, provisions requiring that any dispute be submitted to alternative dispute resolution.

 

11.   Closing and Title Matters. Title to the Home to be delivered to Buyer at Closing will be marketable and insurable, subject only to the following matters:

 

11.1 Closing Costs. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IN ADDITION TO THE TOTAL CASH TO CLOSE (WHICH AMOUNT IS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT ADDENDUM), BUYER SHALL PAY CERTAIN OTHER FEES AND CLOSING COSTS, IF ANY, AT CLOSING. IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ITEMS LISTED BELOW WILL COLLECTIVELY BE REFERRED TO AS "CLOSING COSTS." NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE CASE OF AN FHA/VA OR FANNIE MAE LOAN, BUYER SHALL NOT PAY FOR ANY COSTS PROHIBITED BY HUD (FHA), VA OR FANNIE MAE REGULATIONS. ALL REFERENCES TO "PRO RATA SHARES" WILL BE DEEMED A TIME PRO RATION, BASED ON THE DATE OF CLOSING, WITH BUYER PAYING AMOUNTS ACCRUED ON AND AFTER THE DATE OF CLOSING. The Closing Costs include, but may not be limited to:

 

11.1.1 The premium for a policy of mortgagees' title insurance, any real property transfer taxes in connection with the transfer of the Home, the cost of the documentary stamp taxes or other taxes on the Deed, and the cost to record the Deed. Should the settlement charges that VA does not allow Buyer to pay exceed the amount, if any, to be paid by Seller, Seller at its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement and refund Buyer's earnest money. Should the settlement charges that FHA does not allow Buyer to pay exceed the amount, if any, to be paid by Seller, Buyer may either pay the additional settlement charges or the interest rate on the loan will increase to an interest rate attainable with the settlement charges to be paid by Seller. In the event that Buyer decides to lock in the interest rate and points prior to closing, Buyer agrees to pay the difference between the market rate and the lock-in rate as of the date that the loan rate is locked.

 

11.1.2    Customary closing costs of a Buyer of a single family residence, including but not limited to items such as loan fees, loan closing costs and all other related sums, attorneys' fees, escrows for taxes and insurance, recording fees, documentary stamp taxes on the note, intangible taxes, credit reports and PMI insurance, if applicable, charged by the Lender or otherwise customary for a Buyer at Closing.

 

11.1.3   Document preparation fee, delivery charges, Closing fee and any other Closing expenses of Buyer.

 

11.1.4   All additional costs respecting the Home imposed by any governmental authority.

 

11.1.5   The cost of any obligations Buyer incurs not provided for in this Agreement.

 

11.1.6   The cost of a survey of the Home.

 

11.1.7 Current expenses of the Home (for example: taxes, special assessments and current monthly assessments to one or more homeowner's associations) will be adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing date. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any prepaid expenses of the Home such as utility deposits, insurance premiums, local interim service fees, cable fees, assessments and capital contributions made to one or more homeowners' associations, paid by Seller in advance and/or for the month in which the Closing date occurs.

 

11.1.8 If real estate taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs are assessed in the aggregate on the real estate comprising the portion of the Community (including the Home) rather than on a homesite-by-homesite basis, Seller will pay such taxes in full when due, but Buyer will reimburse Seller at the Closing for Buyer's pro rata share of such taxes from the Closing date (if such taxes are then known) or the Home's allocable share (so prorated) of Seller's estimate of those taxes (if such taxes are not then known), subject to readjustment at either the request of Seller or Buyer within six (6) months from when the actual tax bill is known. If taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs are assessed on a homesite-by-homesite basis but such taxes are not due on the Closing date, Buyer will be responsible for paying such tax bill in full when due but Seller will reimburse Buyer at the Closing for Seller's pro rata share of such taxes (if the taxes are then known) or Seller's estimate of those taxes (if such taxes are not then known) through the Closing date, subject to readjustment at either the request of Seller or Buyer within six (6) months from when the actual bill is known. If the Closing takes place after Seller has paid the taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs, Buyer will reimburse Seller at the Closing for Buyer's pro rata share of those taxes from and after the Closing date.

11.1.9 The cost of any modifications or changes which are incurred by Seller as a result of changes in building codes, governmental rules, regulations or requirements, or the enforcement of any of the same, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall be paid by Buyer at the time of Closing.

 

11.1.10 Any fees resulting from or associated with an offsite closing, or an accelerated or expedited closing, if such fees are incurred as a result of any action or inaction of Buyer.

 

11.2 Title Insurance. Buyer is instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an abstract of title for the Home and to have an attorney review it before Closing. Buyer is also instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an owner's title policy from any title company of Buyer's choice. If Buyer desires, Buyer may use the title company customarily used by Seller, but it is ultimately Buyer's choice. Please review this Agreement and the Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement for additional provisions related to this topic.

 

11.3 Title to the Home shall be subject to the following: (1) zoning, building codes, bulkhead laws, ordinances, regulations, rights or interests vested in the United States of America or the state in which the Community is located; (2) real estate taxes and other taxes for the year of conveyance and subsequent years including taxes or assessments of any special taxing or community development district (including assessments relating to capital improvements and bonds); (3) the general printed exceptions contained in an owner's title insurance policy; (4) utility easements, sewer agreements, telephone agreements, cable agreements, telecommunications agreements, monitoring agreements, restrictions and reservations common to any plat affecting title to the Home; (5) matters that would be disclosed by an accurate survey or inspection of the Home; (6) this Agreement, including all addenda; (7) any laws and restrictions, covenants, conditions, limitations, reservations, agreements or easements recorded in the public records for the County (for example, use limitations and obligations, easements (right- of-way) and agreements relating to telephone, gas or electric lines, water and sewer lines and drainage, provided they do not prevent use of the Home for single family residential purposes); (8) minor encroachments on easements that do not substantially interfere with an easement holder's interest in the Home; and (9) acts done or suffered by Buyer and any mortgage or deed of trust obtained by Buyer for the purchase of the Home. It is Buyer's responsibility to review and become familiar with each of the foregoing title matters, some of which are covenants running with the land. If any title defects are discovered by Buyer after Closing, Buyer's sole remedy shall be to make a claim to Buyer's title insurer.

 

11.4 Seller shall convey title to Buyer at Closing by delivery to Buyer of the Deed, which shall convey title to Buyer subject to all matters described in this Agreement. Any such matters omitted from the Deed shall nevertheless be deemed to be included in the Deed.

 

11.5 Seller shall provide an affidavit complying with the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, upon written request of Buyer.

 

11.6 Seller may not own title to the Home as of the date of this Agreement or at Closing. However, Seller shall obtain title to the Home on or before the Closing Date or effect the necessary transfer of title on or before the date when Seller causes title to be transferred to Buyer.

 

11.7 If Seller cannot provide marketable and insurable title as described above, such failure shall not be an event of default and Seller will have a reasonable period of time (at least one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the scheduled Closing Date) to attempt to correct any defects in title; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expense, nor institute any litigation, to clear title to the Home. If Seller cannot or elects not to correct the title defects, Seller shall so notify Buyer within such period, and Buyer may thereafter elect (by written notice from Buyer to Seller) one of the following two (2) options: (1) to accept title in the condition offered (with defects) and pay the balance of the Total Purchase Price for the Home (without set off or deduction therefor), thereby waiving any claim with respect to such title defects and Buyer will not make any claims against Seller because of the title defects; or (2) to terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit deposited hereunder. If all such amounts are refunded, Buyer agrees to accept it as full payment of Seller's liability hereunder, whereupon this Agreement shall be terminated and Seller shall thereafter be relieved and released of all further liability hereunder. Buyer shall not thereafter have any rights to make any additional claims against Seller. In the event Buyer does not notify Seller in writing within five (5) calendar days from the receipt of Seller's notice (time being strictly of the essence) as to which option Buyer elects, Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have elected option (1) set forth above in this subsection.

 

11.8 The acceptance of the Deed by Buyer shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to this Agreement.

 

11.9 Title to the Home will be deemed marketable if an owner's policy is issued with standard exceptions.

 

12. Site, Selections and Substitutions. The materials, equipment and fixtures included in and to be used in constructing the Home will be substantially the same as or similar in quality to those described in the applicable plans and specifications (except as to extras, options and/or upgrades).

 

12.1 Lot Change. In the event that Seller, in its sole discretion, determines that the model of the house selected under this Agreement cannot reasonably be built on the Homesite, then Buyer and Seller hereby agree that they will negotiate in good faith to relocate the Home to another lot in the Community, provided however that there are lots available for sale. If no replacement lot is available, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement within fourteen (14) days of notice that a replacement lot is unavailable and will be entitled to a refund of any paid Deposit.

12.2 Decorative and Landscaping Items. Buyer understands and agrees that certain of the finishing items, such as tile, marble, carpet, cabinets, stone, brickwork, wood, paint, stain and mica are subject to size and color variations, grain and quality variations, and may vary in accordance with price, availability and changes by manufacturers from those shown in the model, if any, or in illustrations or brochures or those included in the specifications. Furthermore, Seller has the right, without notice to Buyer, to substitute materials or equipment of comparable quality, utility or color as the Seller might deem appropriate. Without limiting the Seller's ability to exercise this right, Seller may exercise this right, in its sole discretion and option whenever Seller shall determine it is necessary or expedient to do so.

 

13. Buyer's Default. In the event of Buyer's default and to the extent allowed by law, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and keep, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Buyer's Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Total Purchase Price, except that Seller may, in addition, keep, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 100 percent (100%) of the Advanced Payments made by Buyer to Seller for options, extras or upgrades for which Seller has made contractual commitments or incurred liability by placing orders or otherwise. Buyer agrees that actual damages in the event of breach by Buyer would be costly and difficult to calculate and that such liquidated damages are a fair and reasonable remedy and shall not be considered a penalty.

 

14. Seller's Default. In the event of Seller's default and to the extent allowed by law, Buyer may recover actual damages only and shall be not entitled to special, consequential or punitive damages, all of which the right to recover or claim Buyer hereby expressly waives. Buyer and Seller expressly agree that actual damages shall not include and shall not be interpreted to include, in any way, any attorneys' fees or costs or expert/consultant fees or costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer retains all remedies at law and in equity with respect to Seller's obligation to complete the Home within two (2) years as set forth in this Agreement.

 

15. Mediation / Arbitration of Disputes.

 

15.1 Dispute Resolution. The parties to this Agreement specifically agree that it is their desire to efficiently and quickly resolve any disputes that arise, that this transaction involves interstate commerce, and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. "Disputes" (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims: (1) arising under, or related to, this Agreement, the Home, the Community or any dealings between Buyer and Seller; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Seller or Seller's representative; (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer's children or other occupants of the Home, or in the Community; or (4) relating to issues of formation, validity or enforceability of this Section.

 

15.2 Mediation. If the parties are unable to agree to a mediator, the parties will utilize the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") for this role. The parties expressly agree that the mediator's charges shall be equally shared and that each party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees, including attorneys' fees and consultant fees incurred in connection with the mediation.

 

15.3 Arbitration. If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA's Construction Industry Arbitration Rules. In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Disputes would be barred by the applicable statute(s) of limitations, which such statute(s) of limitations the parties expressly agree apply to any Disputes. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on both parties. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the non-contesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if a party fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award.

 

15.4 BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING (WHICHEVER MAY APPLY) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN TWO YEARS AND ONE DAY FROM THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, SO THAT IF THE LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN THAT STATED PERIOD, THE DISPUTE IS BARRED AND WAIVED. FOR ARBITRATION PURPOSES, A CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL ACCRUE AS PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE FOR THE INSTITUTION OF A LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDING; AND IF THERE IS NO APPLICABLE STATUTE, THEN THE CAUSE OF ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE BUYER'S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, ACCRUES ON DISCOVERY OF THE INJURY.

15.5 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Buyer and Seller further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties and then only as between those parties.

 

15.6 The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Section shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. Buyer and Seller further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Seller's affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Seller may, at its sole election, include Seller's contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer or surety as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

15.7 BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE PARTIES MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS REGARDING MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT BE AWARDED ON CLASS-WIDE OR MASS-PARTY BASIS OR OTHERWISE AFFECT PARTIES WHO ARE NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. NOTHING IN THE FOREGOING PREVENTS SELLER FROM EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN THE MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION THOSE PERSONS OR ENTITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE.

 

15.8 Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

Buyer and Seller specifically consent to arbitrate in accordance with this entire Section 15 of this Agreement.

16. Other Dispute Resolutions. Notwithstanding the parties' obligation to submit any Dispute to mediation and arbitration, in the event that a particular dispute is not subject to the mediation or the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, then the parties agree to the following provisions: BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT JUSTICE WILL BEST BE SERVED IF ISSUES REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT ARE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING, AND NOT A JURY. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND NOT A JURY. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. SELLER HEREBY SUGGESTS THAT BUYER CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OF BUYER'S CHOICE IF BUYER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXECUTING THIS

AGREEMENT. For any Dispute that involves a claimed amount of less than $10,000, the parties may agree to litigate the Dispute before a judge in a court of small claims; however, any appeal of the judgment rendered in the small claims court will be subject to the mediation and arbitration provisions set forth in this Section.

 

17. Deed Restriction. The alternative dispute provisions above shall be set forth in the Deed and shall be binding upon Seller, Buyer, and all subsequent grantees, purchasers, successors and assigns as covenants and restrictions running with the land.

 

18. Construction Activities. ALL OWNERS, OCCUPANTS AND USERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE HEREBY PLACED ON NOTICE THAT (1) SELLER AND/OR ITS AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, LICENSEES AND OTHER DESIGNEES, AND/OR (2) ANY OTHER PARTIES, WILL BE, FROM TIME TO TIME, CONDUCTING BLASTING, EXCAVATION, CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO THE COMMUNITY. BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR DEED OR OTHER CONVEYANCE OR MORTGAGE, LEASEHOLD, LICENSE OR OTHER INTEREST, AND BY USING ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY, EACH SUCH OWNER, OCCUPANT AND USER AUTOMATICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES, STIPULATES AND AGREES (1) THAT NONE OF THE AFORESAID ACTIVITIES SHALL BE DEEMED NUISANCES OR NOXIOUS OR OFFENSIVE ACTIVITIES, HEREUNDER OR AT LAW GENERALLY, (2) NOT TO ENTER UPON, OR ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER PERSONS UNDER THEIR CONTROL OR DIRECTION TO ENTER UPON (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ENTRY IS A TRESPASS OR OTHERWISE) ANY PROPERTY WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO THE AREA OF THE COMMUNITY WHERE SUCH ACTIVITY IS BEING CONDUCTED (EVEN IF NOT BEING ACTIVELY CONDUCTED AT THE TIME OF ENTRY, SUCH AS AT NIGHT OR OTHERWISE DURING NON-WORKING HOURS), (3) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED OR NOT PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER AND THE OTHER AFORESAID RELATED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES (COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE), INJURIES OR DEATHS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE AFORESAID ACTIVITIES, EXCEPT RESULTING DIRECTLY FROM SELLER'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (4) ANY PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN AND WILL BE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOREGOING AND (5) THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SELL, CONVEY, AND/OR ALLOW THE USE OF THE HOME.

19. Dangerous Condition; No right to Enter; No Communications with Subcontractors

 

19.1 Buyer understands and agrees that the Home is a construction site and that the Home and the improvements, equipment and supplies thereon constitute a danger to those who may enter upon the site. Buyer and Buyer's guests, including, but not limited to friends, Buyer's independent contractors, consultants, family members and minor children (collectively "Buyer's Guests"), shall not enter onto the Home or Homesite prior to Closing unless authorized in writing and accompanied by Seller's representative. Any unauthorized, unaccompanied entry by Buyer or Buyer's Guests shall constitute a breach and default of this Agreement by Buyer, at Seller's election. Moreover, any entry by Buyer or Buyer's Guests onto the Home or Homesite prior to Closing shall be done at Buyer's own risk and in compliance with all federal, state and local safety laws and regulations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer waives, releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claims made by Buyer's Guests as a direct or indirect result of any such unauthorized, unaccompanied entry onto the Home or Homesite.

 

19.2 Buyer acknowledges that all matters pertaining to the initial construction of the Home will be performed by Seller and Seller's subcontractors and vendors who are performing the work under contracts with Seller. For reasons of safety and to comply with liability and insurance requirements imposed upon Seller, Buyer agrees that supervision and direction of the working forces, including, without limitation, all contractors and subcontractors, is to be done exclusively by Seller, and Buyer agrees not to issue any instructions to the working forces or otherwise hinder construction or installation of improvements on the Home. Buyer shall not do or have any work done on the Home, nor may Buyer store any possessions thereon, prior to Closing and transfer of title to the Home to Buyer.

 

19.3 Without limiting the applicability of this Section to all obligations, representations and covenants of Buyer hereunder, Buyer specifically acknowledges that any breach by Buyer of the terms and conditions contained within this Section shall be deemed to be a "material breach" and shall entitle Seller to declare this Agreement to be in default in accordance with the provisions of the Buyer's Default Section in this Agreement. Seller's failure to promptly take any action with respect to Buyer's breach of the terms and conditions contained herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Seller's rights or remedies hereunder. Whenever this Agreement shall require Seller to complete or substantially complete an item of construction, unless provided specifically to the contrary herein, such item shall be deemed complete or substantially complete when so completed, in the sole and unfettered opinion of Seller. Without limiting Seller's rights contained within the Site and Substitutions Section in this Agreement, should Seller fail to provide any item of construction required to be provided or any option, extra and/or upgrade, Buyer's sole remedy therefore will be to collect an amount from Seller equal to Seller's cost for such item and for Seller's cost of installation of such item had such item been installed at the appropriate time during construction. Without limiting Seller's rights and Buyer's obligations contained within this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement, should any warranted defects in workmanship or materials be discovered before or after the Closing, Buyer agrees that Buyer's sole remedy therefore is for Seller to, at Seller's sole and absolute discretion, either repair or replace the defective item. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller disclaims any liability for incidental or consequential damages that may arise from a defective item.

 

20. Inspection of the Home. BUYER WILL BE GIVEN A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE HOME WITH SELLER'S REPRESENTATIVE PRIOR TO CLOSING, AND AT THAT TIME BUYER WILL SIGN A "NEW HOME ORIENTATION LIST" STATING ANY DEFECTS IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS OR INCOMPLETE ITEMS WHICH BUYER DISCOVERS. ANY DEFECTS OR INCOMPLETE ITEMS NOT SO LISTED WHICH ARE APPARENT OR VISIBLE SHALL BE DEEMED ACCEPTED BY BUYER AND ANY CLAIM RELATED THERETO FOREVER WAIVED. IF ANY ITEM LISTED IS ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS IN SELLER'S OPINION (IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS PREVALENT FOR A SIMILAR HOME IN THE COUNTY), SELLER WILL BE OBLIGATED TO CORRECT THOSE DEFECTS AT SELLER'S COST WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME AFTER CLOSING, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT SELLER'S OBLIGATION TO CORRECT WILL NOT BE A GROUND FOR DEFERRING THE CLOSING, NOR FOR ANY SETOFF, NOR FOR IMPOSING ANY CONDITION ON CLOSING AS LONG AS THE HOME IS HABITABLE. THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION OR USE SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF HABITABILITY. BUYER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO REQUIRE ESCROWS OR HOLD BACKS OF CLOSING FUNDS OR ANY CASH TO CLOSE, AND NONE WILL BE PERMITTED. IF BUYER FAILS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PRE-CLOSING INSPECTION ON THE TIME AND DATE SCHEDULED BY SELLER, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THE RIGHT TO SUBMIT A NEW HOME ORIENTATION LIST TO SELLER.

 

21. Natural Disasters. Seller builds homes to the building code in effect at the time the building permit is applied for Buyer's Home. Building code requirements do not guarantee a home can or will withstand the impacts of a natural disaster; including but not limited to earthquake, forest fire, tornado, hurricane flood, and avalanche. Seller cannot guarantee the Home; its structure or features will not be impacted by a natural disaster. Buyer should review their applicable homeowner's and/or flood insurance policy(s) and consult their insurance professional for additional information. Buyer is urged to follow the advice and direction from local emergency management officials regarding a natural disaster.

 

Buyer understands and agrees to accept the risks and conditions of natural disasters and to assume all liabilities associated with them. By executing and delivering this Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released Seller and Seller's affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any and all liability or claims resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience, displacement, property damage, personal injury and/or death to or suffered by Buyer or any of its family members, occupants, guests, tenants, invitees and/or pets and any other person or pet.

 

22. Representation of Compliance with OFAC Regulations: Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer is not barred from doing business with U.S. entities pursuant to the U.S. Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Asset Control ("OFAC"), including OFAC's Specially-Designated-Nationals ("SDN") list and lists of known or suspected terrorist organizations. If Seller identifies or is informed that Buyer is a valid match for OFAC's SDN list, then this Agreement is void, and Seller shall cancel and revoke this Agreement immediately. In the event of cancellation or revocation of this Agreement under this provision, Seller shall immediately contact OFAC to report the transaction and to determine whether deposit money provided by Buyer, if any, should be returned or blocked, consistent with OFAC regulations.

23. Agreement not to be Recorded. Buyer covenants that Buyer shall not record this Agreement (or any memorandum thereof) in the Public Records of the County. Buyer agrees, if Buyer records this Agreement, to pay all of Seller's attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in removing the cloud in title caused by such recordation. Seller's rights under this Section shall be in addition to Seller's remedies for Buyer's default provided elsewhere in this Agreement. Notwithstanding, Seller reserves the right to record this Agreement, any addenda, in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

24. Transfer, Assignment and Persons Bound. Buyer agrees that Buyer will not, and does not have the right to, assign, sell or transfer Buyer's interest in this Agreement (whether voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise) without Seller's prior written consent. If Buyer is a corporation, other business entity, trustee or nominee, a transfer of any material equity or beneficial or principal interest shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement. If Buyer attempts to assign this Agreement in violation of this Section, Seller can declare Buyer in default and Seller shall be entitled to all remedies available under this Agreement. Buyer agrees that Seller may withhold its consent with or without any reason or condition in any manner it chooses (if it gives it at all) and may charge Buyer a reasonable amount to cover administrative costs incurred in considering whether or not to grant consent. If Buyer dies or in any way loses legal control of his/her affairs, this Agreement will bind his/her heirs and legal representatives. If Buyer has received Seller's permission to assign or transfer this Agreement, then Buyer's approved assignees shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If more than one person signs this Agreement as Buyer, each such person shall be jointly and severally liable for full performance of all of Buyer's duties and obligations hereunder.

 

25. Time of the Essence. Buyer acknowledges that time is of the essence in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

 

26. Interpretation and Computation of Time. The use of the masculine gender in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the feminine or neuter gender, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, whenever the context so requires. This Agreement reflects the negotiated agreement of the parties. Each party acknowledges that they have been afforded the opportunity to seek competent legal counsel, and each have made an informed choice as to whether or not to be represented by legal counsel. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed as if both parties jointly prepared it, and no presumption against one party or the other shall govern the interpretation or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the time periods of fewer than five (5) days shall, in the computation thereof, exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Any reference in this Agreement to time periods of five (5) days or more shall, in computation thereof, include Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. If the last day of any such period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the period shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. on the next full business day. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning, interpretation or scope of the provisions which follow them.

 

27. Notice. Unless expressly set forth otherwise in any particular provision of this Agreement, all written notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given by a party when delivered to the address identified on Page 1 of this Agreement in one or more of the following methods: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) one day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier service; or (c) when delivered by electronic transmission with electronic confirmation. Buyer is responsible for providing written notice to Seller of any address change. All written notices shall be effective when sent in the manner above even if receipt is refused.

 

28. Waiver. Seller's waiver of any of its rights or remedies shall not operate to waive any other of Seller's rights or remedies or to prevent Seller from enforcing the waived right or remedy in another instance.

 

29. Survival. Buyer and Seller specifically agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the rights and obligations as set forth in all provisions and disclaimers in this Agreement shall survive (1) the Closing of the purchase of the Home; (2) the termination of this Agreement by either party; or (3) the default of this Agreement by either party, unless expressly stated otherwise.

 

30. Incorporation and Severability. In the event that any portion of any clause or provision of this Agreement shall be void or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by law to give meaning to the parties' intent. In the event that any clause or provision of this Agreement, in its entirety, shall be void and unenforceable, it shall deemed deleted so that the balance of this Agreement is enforceable.

 

31. Governing Law. Any disputes that develop under this Agreement or questions regarding the interpretation of this Agreement will be settled according to the law of the state where the Home is located to the extent federal law is not applicable.

MASTER DISCLOSURE AND INFORMATION ADDENDUM TO PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

TEXAS

 

THIS MASTER DISCLOSURE AND INFORMATION ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III ("Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M, of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Community. This Addendum explains certain terms which are applicable to the purchase of homes within the Community. Builders other than Seller may build homes in the Community. Other builders may be added or deleted from the list of builders in the future. Seller, and any other builder in the Community, shall have the right, without notice to Buyer, to make changes to, among other things, homesite sizes, number of homes being built, size and style of homes being built, features and materials in homes being built, prices of homes (whether more or less than currently published), price per square foot of homes (whether more or less than currently published), number and size of homesites, street layout, amenity layout, and usage, location, size and number of trees, bushes and other foliage (current and future), and any other items or uses which are currently planned for the Community. Seller makes no representations or warranties that Seller will be the exclusive builder or developer in the Community or that the Community will be built out exactly as currently planned, and, if the Seller is the developer of the Community, Seller expressly reserves the right to make whatever changes it deems necessary relating to future development or build out of the Community. Any current maps or other materials showing any final or projected community development may be modified or updated in the future.

 

SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES WITH REGARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOMESITES IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY. HOMESITES IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY MAY REMAIN UNDEVELOPED AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF SELLER, OTHER BUILDERS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND/OR THE DEVELOPER OF THE COMMUNITY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES, STATED, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE WITH REGARD TO SELLER BEING THE SOLE OR EXCLUSIVE BUILDER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES, STATED, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE WITH REGARD TO CONTINUING TO BUILD IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH FINAL BUILD OUT AND/OR BUILDING UPON ANY UNDEVELOPED HOMESITE(S). FURTHERMORE, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS, ESTIMATES OR PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN CONVEYED REGARDING THE FINAL BUILD OUT TIME OF ANY UNDEVELOPED HOMESITE(S) OR THE OVERALL COMPLETION SCHEDULE OF THIS COMMUNITY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER CONSTANTLY EVALUATES THE PRICING, DESIGNS, PRODUCT MIX AND AMENITIES OF ITS COMMUNITIES AND SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING WHETHER TO CONTINUE TO BUILD HOMES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY OF THE FOREGOING IN DECIDING TO PURCHASE THE HOME.

 

3. Effect on Community of Change in Control. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may decide not to build additional homes or not pursue any further development in the Community. Buyer acknowledges that if Seller transfers control of its lots in the Community or any control of the further development of the Community, if applicable, that such transfer could have an adverse impact upon Buyer. By way of example only, if Seller transfers its interests, Buyer understands that completed or partially completed homes may remain vacant for a long period of time. Buyer further understands that the management and operation of the Community by the Association (as defined herein) could be disrupted during any transition period. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller cannot predict every impact that may be material to the Buyer and that it is imperative that Buyer make Buyer's own independent evaluation of the potential adverse impacts that may affect Buyer's decision to consummate the purchase of a home in the Community.

 

4. Financing and Closing Costs Disclosures.

 

4.1 If Buyer desires to employ an attorney to represent Buyer, then Buyer may do so at Buyer's expense.

 

4.2 Although Seller may make available to Buyer the name of one or more lenders or information about one or more available financing alternatives, Buyer agrees that the choice of a lender and loan is Buyer's sole decision, and Seller has not made any promises or representations concerning the likelihood of Buyer obtaining the loan, the terms and conditions of such loan or the interest rate or fees associated with such loan.

 

4.3 BUYER IS HEREBY ADVISED BY SELLER THAT INTEREST RATES, LOAN FEES, AND OTHER LOAN CONDITIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED, FIXED OR ESTABLISHED (AND SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ITEMS) AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY ANY LENDER. SELLER DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS OR LOAN FUNDING CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHIN LOAN LOCK PERIODS, IF ANY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOCKS ARE PAID FOR BY SELLER OR BUYER.

4.4 Responsibility for obtaining the loan and for satisfying all conditions made by the Lender with regard to the loan shall rest solely with the Buyer.

 

5.   Document Book. Buyer acknowledges receipt of the "Document Book" for the Community as follows:

 

5.1 Buyer acknowledges receipt of, and agrees to be bound by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Sunset Oaks (the "Declaration"), the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and any Rules and Regulations of the Sunset Oaks Residential Community, Inc., all as amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively, the "Community Documents"). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that title to the Home will be subject to the Community Documents.

 

5.2 The Home will be subject to certain deed restrictions as reflected in the Special Warranty Deed executed by Seller and furnished to Buyer at Closing. The deed restrictions run with the Homesite and require, among other things, that Buyer give Seller (i) notice of Seller's defaults or any Claim (as defined therein) after Closing and (ii) an opportunity to inspect and cure defects in the Home. The deed restrictions further require the arbitration of any Claim against Seller that cannot be resolved informally.

 

5.3 Buyer acknowledges that the Document Book may contain additional provisions, that may not be specified herein, which restrict Buyer's use of the Homesite. Buyer further acknowledges the provisions of the Document Book and any such restrictions contained therein are fair and reasonable.

 

6.   Association Memberships.

 

6.1 Upon conveyance and recording of the Deed to the Home, Buyer will become a member of the Sunset Oaks Residential Community, Inc., a Texas nonprofit corporation (the "Association"). Buyer agrees to accept the liability and obligations of such membership. Buyer understands that as a member of the Association, Buyer will be required to pay Assessments (as defined in the Document Book) for the maintenance of the Common Areas (as defined in the Document Book) and for such other uses and purposes as are provided for in the Document Book. Buyer also understands and agrees that a failure to pay Assessments when due could cause the Association to record a lien on the Home and to foreclose such lien. Assessments are subject to change, which may include additional increases in the manner currently provided for in the Document Book. Seller, the Association, and any other builder cannot estimate the amount or frequency of any such increase. Section 270.003, Property Code, entitles an owner to receive copies of any document that governs, the establishment, maintenance, or operation of a subdivision, including, but not limited to, statements specifying the amount and frequency of regular assessments and the style and cause number of lawsuits to which the Association is a party, other than lawsuits relating to ad valorem taxes of an individual member of the Association. To the extent not already provided, these documents must be made available to you by the Association or its agents on your request.

 

6.2 Buyer acknowledges that nominees of Seller, the developer of the Community may serve as the initial officers and directors of the Association. The officers and directors and the management company, which may be an affiliate of Seller, are authorized by Buyer to act for and on the behalf of the Association. Seller may, but is not required to, advance monies to the Association for operations. In the event such advances are made, they will be considered a loan from Seller, and the Association will be obligated to repay such advances as set forth in the Document Book.

 

7. Community Charges. In addition to the Closing Costs set forth in the Agreement, Buyer shall pay the following additional Closing Costs respecting the Community.

 

7.1 Association Assessments. Assessments payable to the Association ("Association Assessments"), prorated for the month in which the Closing occurs (based on the then current Association Assessments at the time of closing). Such Association Assessments are estimated to be $40.00 per month at this time. Buyer understands that the estimated operating budget for the Association is only an estimate of what it will cost to run the Association. The Association may make changes in the budget at any time to cover increases or decreases in expenses or estimates in the budget. Without limiting the generality of this Section, those changes will not give Buyer any right to cancel the Agreement.

 

7.2 Association Capitalization Fee and/or Transfer Fee. Buyer acknowledges that among other Assessments provided for in the Document Book, the Association may establish a capitalization and/or transfer fee. Currently, the capitalization fee is $250.00 and the transfer fee is $185.00. The capitalization fee and/or transfer fee may be used by Seller for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, reimbursing Seller's costs in setting up the Association and its costs of deficit funding. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the capitalization fee and/or transfer fee is not to be considered as an advance payment of Assessments. For more information on the capitalization fee and/or transfer fee, please refer to the Document Book.

 

7.3 Additional Assessments. Buyer acknowledges that there may be additional Assessments with regard to this Community, including, but not necessarily limited to a resale certificate fee. For more information on those additional Assessments, please refer to the Document Book.

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

8. Community Access/Gates. The Community is not a gated community and the roads in the Community are public.

 

9. Building and Use Restrictions. Every homesite is subject to building and use restrictions as set forth in the Document Book. These restrictions are subject to change without notice. Building and use restrictions may affect, among other things, residential and nonresidential uses, building specifications, accessory structures, nuisance, home occupancy, signage, antennas, satellite dishes, animals, driveways, vehicle parking, rubbish, utility and drainage easements, clothes lines, fences, special rights of Seller, any developer and homebuilder(s), leases and restoration of homesites. Buyer should carefully review the Document Book.

 

10. Building Codes and Ordinances. Every city or town has building codes and other ordinances that regulate what is permissible within its jurisdictional limits. Buyer should contact the city or town in which the Home is located prior to making changes to the Home or Homesite for further information concerning local codes and ordinances. Seller is not responsible for notifying Buyer, or any other homeowner, of the content or restrictions contained in any local codes or ordinances.

 

11. Architectural Review.

 

11.1 Buyer acknowledges that all new construction and modifications of existing construction and exteriors of improvements within the Community are subject to the prior written approval of the Architectural Control Committee of the Association (the "ACC"). Buyer agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of the ACC as the same may be amended and exist from time to time. These restrictions are subject to change without notice. Building and use restrictions include, but are not limited to, residential and nonresidential uses, building specifications, accessory structures, nuisance, home occupancy, signage, antennas, animals, driveways, vehicle parking, rubbish, utility and drainage easements, clothes lines, fences, special rights of Seller, the developer of the Community, leases and restoration of homesites. Buyer agrees not to commence any construction upon any portion of the Homesite until after the ACC has given its written approval. Buyer further agrees not to make any modifications of any existing buildings and improvements, including, but not limited to, landscaping and landscape irrigation, without the prior written approval of the ACC and until any applicable permits have been obtained. In addition, every city, county or town has building codes and other ordinances that regulate what is permissible within its jurisdictional limits. Prior to making changes to the Home or Homesite, Buyer should contact the applicable governmental authorities for further information concerning local codes and ordinances. Seller is not responsible for notifying homeowners of the content or restrictions contained in any local codes or ordinances.

 

11.2 Failure to submit plans and specifications to the ACC for approval is a violation of the provisions of the Document Book, which may result in sanctions and/or the imposition of fines, and the removal, at homeowner expense, of any non-approved modifications.

 

12. Pet Restrictions. Buyer understands that the only pets allowed in the Community are those which are in accordance with the restrictions contained in the Document Book or any amendments thereto. Buyer also acknowledges that pets may also be restricted by applicable state or municipal laws and regulations, and agrees to abide by the same.

 

13. Short-Term Rentals. Buyer acknowledges that homes in the Community may be rented for any length of time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Document Book, or that there may be certain restrictions on rentals in the Community. For more information, Seller encourages Buyer to review the Document Book or contact the Association.

 

14. Rentals. From time to time, Seller may market and sell homes in the Community to investors or to buyers who may not occupy their homes as their primary residence. Seller may also elect to lease, rather than sell, some of all of the homes that it owns within the Community. Consequently, homes in the Community may be leased to or occupied by persons other than their owners.

 

15. Flood Zone. According to the applicable Flood Insurance Rate Map ("FIRM") published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency ("FEMA"), some portions of the Community, including the Home, may be located in a flood zone for which Buyer's Lender may require flood insurance. Even if the Home is not currently in such a flood zone, Buyer understands that FEMA and/or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may reevaluate and change the current flood zone designations from time to time at its sole discretion. Seller makes no representations that the current flood zone designation will not change and Buyer understands that the current flood zone designation is subject to change at any time for reasons beyond Seller's control. In evaluating the flood zone designation for the Home, Buyer should not rely on oral representations as to the flood zone status of the Home and should visit www.fema.gov and/or the county or city flood map website where the Home is located. Mortgage lenders will typically require the issuance of flood insurance as a requirement for financing, which insurance must be present at Closing, or, in the event the area is reclassified, may require Buyer to obtain flood insurance at a date subsequent to Closing. Seller recommends that each Buyer of a Home protect his/her Home by obtaining proper insurance coverage. It is possible, however, for Buyer to submit documentation to FEMA to have the Home re- classified by FEMA, whereby the mortgage lender may have the option to waive the requirement of flood insurance. Buyer is solely responsible for the submission to FEMA for such re-classification and any and all expenses related to such submission. Further, Buyer acknowledges and understands that the waiver of flood insurance is at the sole discretion of the mortgage lender.

 

16. Bodies of Water within the Community.

 

Page 3 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

16.1 Water Levels. THE WATER LEVELS OF LAKES, PONDS OR OTHER BODIES OF WATER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, IF ANY, MAY VARY. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE BY SELLER OR THE ASSOCIATION THAT WATER LEVELS WILL BE CONSTANT OR AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME; AT TIMES, WATER LEVELS MAY BE NONEXISTENT.

 

16.2 BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT IF THE HOME ADJOINS A WATER IMPOUNDMENT, THAT THE WATER LEVEL OF THE IMPOUNDMENT FLUCTUATES FOR VARIOUS REASONS, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF: (1) AN ENTITY LAWFULLY EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO USE THE WATER STORED IN THE IMPOUNDMENT; OR (2) DROUGHT OR FLOOD CONDITIONS.

 

16.3 Detention Pond Disclosure. One or more detention ponds may exist within the Community. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that drainage detention pond ("drainage easement") maintenance is not the Seller's responsibility. Seller makes no assurance as to the finish out of this common area. The drainage easement can and will at times be dangerous after certain natural events. Children should be advised to stay away from this area.

 

16.4 Homesite Adjacent to Creek Bed. Some homesites may be bordered by a natural creek bed. This creek bed area may remain in a natural vegetative state and as such, certain factors are inherent therein. Some factors may include, but are not limited to, the following: mosquito populations; animal life, which may include that which typically lives around creeks such as snakes, frogs, turtles, waterfowl, raccoons, possum, fish, etc. that may wander onto the homesites; water levels may dramatically vary due to rainfall amounts; odors or smells which may result from dead animal life; seasonal factors and weather conditions; vegetation such as existing native trees and shrubbery may be subject to erosion of surrounding land area and, subsequently, may fall or die as a result; and, natural erosion from waterways and wind may affect surrounding soil and, as such, existing topography may be altered.

 

17. Irrigation System. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller may provide an irrigation system serving the Homesite and that Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the source of the water for the irrigation system. In addition, the Association may install and maintain irrigation systems in some of the Common Areas. After Closing, if Buyer desires to make any alterations, improvements, or repairs to the irrigation system on the Homesite that may affect the irrigation system, it may be necessary for the Buyer to obtain prior written approval from the Association. For more information on any restrictions on alterations, improvements or repairs with regard to the irrigation system or to the Homesite that may affect the irrigation system, if any, or with regard to the installation of irrigation systems in some of the Common Areas, please refer to the Document Book.

 

18. Utilities and Drainage on the Homesite.

 

18.1 Drainage and Utility Structures. Some homesites contain or are adjacent to drainage and utility structures such as storm water overflow swales, storm water catch basins, manholes, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, switch boxes, telephone pedestals, cable television pedestals and supply boxes, and streetlights. None of these items shall be altered, obstructed, buried, modified, restricted or interfered with in any manner whatsoever.

 

18.2 Drainage and Utility Easements. An easement is the right of someone other than the land owner to use a portion of the land for a limited purpose. There are public utility and drainage easements along the perimeter of every homesite in the Community. These easements are dedicated in and shown on the recorded subdivision plats for the Community. The easements on each homesite are also shown on the individual setback and easement survey for each homesite. Nothing may be done in any utility and drainage easement area to impede the drainage of surface water or to interfere with the installation, maintenance and repair of utility lines and structures. Play structures, landscaping, accessory structures (such as small sheds) or other improvements may not be installed in the drainage and utility easement areas, because they might change the drainage pattern and/or might have to be removed, at the homeowner's expense, in order to maintain underground utility lines. No trash, waste, soil, leaves, grass clippings, or other offensive materials may be placed or stored within these easement areas. Each homeowner is required to maintain that portion of his or her yard that lies within the drainage and utility easements. An exception to this maintenance requirement exists where the drainage and utility easement covers wetlands, wetland buffers and wetland mitigation areas. For more information on drainage and utility easements contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

18.3 Homesite Easement & Plot Plan Disclosure. Seller neither infers, nor guarantees the existence or lack of easements (utility, maintenance, city, etc.) on Homesite. A preliminary plot plan is available to Buyer by request on Seller's authorized request form known as "Request for Plot Plan." Changes can and sometimes do occur to the original preliminary plot plan, the recorded plat map and/or the final survey.

 

18.4 Community Drainage Disclosure. Due to the topography of the Community, water will at times flow through the Homesite from adjacent and surrounding homesites. This is necessary to achieve positive drainage away from all applicable homesites. Buyer acknowledges that no adverse action may be taken by Buyer to alter said drainage pattern. Seller advises Buyer that some of the homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite) are or may be subject to some runoff from adjacent and surrounding homesites.

 

18.5 Retaining Wall and Drainage. Retaining walls may exist within Buyer's Homesite property lines. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, at times, water may drain over retaining walls from one homesite to another.

 

Page 4 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

18.6 Grading and Drainage. Buyer acknowledges that the drainage for the front, rear and side yards of each lot was designed by a professional engineer to divert water away from the foundation and concrete flat work. The drainage of the yard of the Homesite may result in a swale across the front and/or back yard of the Home. As a result and in these instances, Buyer acknowledges that the front and/or back yard will not be level and that Seller will not make any adjustments to the depth or severity of the swale. In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that altering the drainage and/or over-watering will have negative effects on potentially expansive soils and will void the drainage and foundation warranty on the Home. If the drainage is altered in such a manner that water flows toward the foundation and/or concrete flat work, severe damage to one or both may result. Resulting damage may include, but not be limited to, the following: heaving in the slab, cracking of the slab, stucco cracks, cracking of driveways, front or rear yard stoops and walkways, and/or cosmetic damage or alterations of interior finishes in the home. Furthermore, over watering may also lead to same or similar results. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING SHIFTING SOILS, UNSETTLED SOILS, UNUSUAL ROCKS, OR SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS.

 

18.7 Utility Box and Related Items Disclosure. At this stage in construction, Seller may not know which homesites will receive one or more of the following: utility poles, transformer boxes (both main and secondary), cable and phone boxes, storm drains, man holes, streetlights, gas taps, underground power, water/sewer and gas lines, overhead power lines, and/or irrigation maintenance sheds. The premium amount paid for the Home, if any, does not guarantee Buyer that he or she will not receive one or more of the above mentioned items on the Homesite. Seller will not reimburse any amount of a premium paid if any of the said items are installed on the Homesite. There is a strong possibility that the back and/or side yards of the Homesite will contain underground power, gas, water or sewer lines. If Buyer plans on building a pool on the Homesite, it is Buyer's responsibility to contact the source of the underground lines. Buyer is financially responsible for having any of the underground lines moved.

 

19. Foundation Maintenance. Buyer(s) understand and acknowledge that proper inspection and maintenance of the foundation (e.g. maintaining consistent moisture levels in the yard near the foundation on a year-round basis, maintaining original drainage patterns, limiting trees and shrubbery near the foundation, maintaining proper ventilation of any crawl spaces, etc.) is critical to the structural performance of the Home's foundation. Buyer(s) also understand and acknowledge that while certain municipalities provide restrictions on the amount of water that may be used to maintain a yard, these restrictions may not apply to the use of certain equipment (e.g., soaker hoses) to properly maintain the consistency of moisture levels in the soils surrounding the Home's foundation. Failure to properly maintain consistent moisture levels, changing drainage patterns established at the time the Home is purchased, allowing excessive trees and shrubbery to grow near the foundation, or allowing excessive moisture to collect near or under the Home may result in severe damage to or failure of the Home's foundation. Buyer understands that Seller is not responsible for any damage to the foundation of the Home due to the failure of Buyer(s) to properly maintain the foundation or the soil conditions under and around the foundation, and Buyer(s) shall be responsible for any damages that may result to the Home, including but not limited to potential foundation movement, caused by Buyer(s) failure to properly maintain the foundation and the soils conditions under and around the foundation.

 

Buyers Initials: 

 

 

 

20. Utilities in the Community.

 

20.1 Buyer acknowledges that no septic tanks shall be permitted within the Community. No wells shall be installed without the express written consent of the ACC if applicable, and all other applicable government agencies.

 

20.2 Some homesites contain or are adjacent to drainage and utility structures such as storm water overflow swales, storm water catch basins, manholes, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, switch boxes, telephone pedestals and streetlights. None of these items shall be altered, obstructed, buried, modified, restricted or interfered with in any manner whatsoever. Overflow swales are generally only utilized for overflow storm water capacity as a result of water drainage. Electrical transformers may only be landscaped to the extent permission is given by the utility provider. In some cases, water may flow from one homesite to another, and these situations are shown on the final plat. State law may provide that the owner of the homesite receiving water is required to accept the water flow and may not impede the flow of this water. In addition, the Home will be graded to provide for reasonable drainage away from the Home's foundation. The vast majority of foundation problems are caused by insufficient drainage or lack of watering of soil around the foundation. Buyer should keep Buyer's lawn well-watered to maintain consistent moisture content and avoid excess wetness, dryness or cracking of soil. The construction of curbs, decks, retaining walls, pools, spas, patios, landscape edging and similar items can also trap water within the yard area and cause structural damage to the Home's foundation. Seller strongly recommends that Buyer consult with a licensed landscape architect and civil engineer before performing any work or making any changes that may affect the existing drainage pattern.

 

20.3 Water Tower. Water tower(s) may be constructed within the Community and/or on adjacent property to serve the water storage and pressure requirements of the water provider.

 

20.4 Water Supply. The Maxwell Special Utility District provides water to the Community. Because Seller does not control the water supply, Seller cannot guarantee the quality of the water provided to the Community. In addition, this area is periodically subjected to extended periods of drought that may cause depletion of water supplies. Municipalities and other providers of water services in the area of the Community may enact mandatory or voluntary cut backs or other restrictions in water usage. Seller has no control, influence, responsibility or liability for or over decisions concerning water rationing or the rates charged for water service.

20.5 If Buyer has any questions about utility rates, services, safety, or anything else to do with overhead or underground transmission or utility lines, Buyer should contact the utility companies directly. Because Seller values Buyer's safety and that of Buyer's neighbors, no excavation or trenching should be done without first calling the utility companies for the location of buried utilities. There is currently no charge by the utilities for this service. This is especially important in utility easements where buried utility equipment is probable. Digging without advance notification and approval of the utility companies may be illegal, is dangerous and can result in severe personal injury or death to Buyer and Buyer's neighbors, and can also result in severe property damage to homes, property and utility equipment.

 

20.6 Easement for (and Location of) High Voltage Lines. Portions of the Community may be located within close proximity of an easement owned by a utility company. This easement may give the utility company the right to install and operate high voltage electrical transmission lines, transformers, and related equipment. Such lines and/or equipment give off electric and magnetic fields ("EMF") and may also give off audible sounds as by-products of the use of electricity. For further information regarding the possible effects of EMF, consult the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

 

20.7 Cable TV/Satellite/High Speed Internet. Seller is not responsible for the timing or selection of cable TV, satellite or high-speed internet availability throughout the Community.

 

20.8 Marketing Agreements. Seller may enter into marketing agreement(s) with third-party companies (e.g., a telecommunications provider, an energy provider, etc.) to allow them to place information about the company's services in the model home/sales office. In addition, Seller provides addresses of homes to these third-party companies. Seller receives monetary and non-monetary compensation from the third- party companies as a result of these joint marketing efforts. Seller makes no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the ability of the third-party company, and its affiliates or partners, for availability or quality of service.

 

21. Hurricanes/Tropical Storms. Seller builds homes to the building code in effect at the time the building permit is applied for Buyer's Home. Building code requirements do not guarantee a home can or will withstand the impacts of a hurricane. Seller cannot guarantee the Home, its structure or features will not be impacted by hurricane and/or tropical storm conditions. Buyer should review its applicable homeowner's and/or flood insurance policy(s) and consult an insurance professional for additional information. Buyer is urged to follow the advice and direction from local emergency management officials regarding hurricane and tropical storm events.

 

Buyer understands and agrees to accept the risks and conditions of hurricanes and tropical storms and to assume all liabilities associated with them. By executing and delivering the Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released Seller and Seller's affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any and all liability or claims resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience, displacement, property damage, personal injury and/or death to or suffered by Buyer or any of its family members, occupants, guests, tenants, invitees and/or pets and any other person or pet.

 

22. Facilities and Conditions Affecting Homesites.

 

22.1 The information set forth in this Section contains an overview of facilities and conditions which may affect some or all homesites in the Community (including but not limited to the Homesite). Because Seller does not have control over development outside of the Community, Seller does not warrant or guarantee any future development, usage, or lack of development or usage for properties located outside of the Community, or their possible impact on the residents of the Community. For additional information about offsite features that may affect the purchase of the Home, please contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

22.2 Seller advises Buyer that some of the homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite) are or may be adjacent to or near some of the following:

 

DRAINAGE CHANNEL, AIRPORT, RAILROAD TRACKS, STORM WATER DETENTION FACILITY, COMMUNITY CENTER, ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TOWER, SCHOOL FACILITY, PARK SCHOOL SITE, SPORTS FACILITY OR BALL FIELD, COMMUNITY LAKES, PARK AND/OR RECREATION FACILITY, WATER PLANT/SEWER PLANT, LIFT STATION, CELLULAR PHONE, RADIO, TELEVISION OR OTHER TOWER ANTENNA SITE, HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES OR PIPELINE EASEMENT.

 

Buyer acknowledges that such facilities may impact noise, vibration, lighting, traffic and other conditions caused by daily operations of the facility. Drainage channels, lakes and storm water detention facilities will have varying levels of water for varying periods of time depending upon rainfall.

22.3 Sewage Treatment Plant. Approximately 0.5 miles from the eastern edge of the Community, Aqua Utilities, Inc. operates a sewage treatment facility ("Facility"). Due to the Community's close proximity to the Facility, the Community may be affected by the natural consequence of having the Facility located and operated nearby. Sewage treatment plants can and will emit an unpleasant odor, gas and/or other chemicals and result in truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. Seller cannot guarantee that odors or gaseous or chemical emissions will not be noted in the future and is not responsible for odors or other nuisances which might result from the operations of this Facility and truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. As a result, Owners and occupants in the Community may be affected by odors, noise, or dust emanating from the Facility and truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. Further, the Facility's operations may, in the future, be modified or the Facility may be reconfigured and/or expanded. Because Seller does not control the Facility, Seller cannot assure Buyer that the Facility's operations will not be modified or the Facility will not be modified in the future or that any expansion of the Facility will not occur pursuant to requisite governmental approvals. Roads near the Facility and the Community may be used by trucks for the hauling of sludge from the Facility. These trucks may cause an unpleasant odor and may inconvenience traffic on such public roads.

 

22.4 Bike/Walking Path. The plans for the Community may contain limited areas for a public bike and/or walking path within the Community.

 

22.5 Perimeter Screening Wall Disclosure. Certain homesites may contain a perimeter screening wall.

22.6 Wrought Iron Fence Disclosure. Certain homesites may contain a wrought iron fence. While Seller makes no representations regarding whether or to what extent such wrought iron fences will be constructed, any such fences, if constructed, will make up part of the rear yard or side yard fencing on homes adjacent or backing to the flood plain or open space.

 

22.7 Road Improvements. Plans may exist for certain improvements to roads in or around the Community. Seller has no control over the timing of completion of the road improvements. The construction area may affect the entrances of the Community from time to time, and some lane closures may be necessary. Seller regrets any inconveniences and disruptions during this process but believes the Community will all be able to enjoy the improved roadway once the work is complete. During the period when these improvements, if any, are under construction there will be traffic hazards, interferences and inconveniences along the roads resulting from such construction. For additional information, please contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

22.8 Road Improvements. The Texas Department of Transportation currently has plans for improvements to Interstate 35 and Highway 21. Seller has no control over the timing of completion of the work. The construction area may affect the entrances of the Community from time to time, and some lane closures will be necessary. Seller regrets any inconveniences and disruptions during this process, including without limitation, increased noise, dust and alternate traffic patterns, but believes the Community will enjoy the improved roadway once the work is complete. During the period when these improvements, if any, are under construction there will be traffic hazards, interferences and inconveniences along these sections of Interstate 35 and Highway 21 resulting from such construction.

 

22.9 Major Public Roads. The Community is located near portions of Yarrington Road, Interstate 35, and Highway 21. These roads may experience heavy traffic during certain times of the day.

 

22.10 Airport. Approximately 1.5 miles from the southwestern edge of the Community is the San Marcos Regional Airport. Some flights landing at or taking off from the airport currently pass over the Community. Jets, helicopters or other aircraft may be seen or heard overhead from the Homesite or even from within the Home. The City of San Marcos may, in the future, expand the airport and its operations.

 

22.11 Agricultural Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that properties adjacent to Community are neither owned nor controlled by Seller. Some of the area around the Community may be rural in nature and there may be certain agricultural operations that Buyer may, depending upon Buyer's sensitivity, find to be an inconvenience or a nuisance. Such uses may also include hunting, fishing, and target shooting. Such agricultural uses sometimes involve the use of manure, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and rodenticides, which at times may be offensive, especially to sensitive people. Buyer is advised to take the time to drive around the area to ensure that Buyer is satisfied with all agricultural and other uses. Seller is not responsible for odors, noise or other nuisances that may originate from these adjacent properties.

 

22.12 Wild Animals. As a result of the open spaces and bodies of water in and around the Community, Buyer may periodically find wild animals within the confines of the Community including, but not limited to, skunks, armadillos, nutria, opossums, deer, raccoons, spiders, snakes, bees, fire ants, alligators and other reptiles and other insects common to the area. Contact with any wild animal can be dangerous. Should Buyer encounter any such animal, Buyer is encouraged to contact Buyer's local animal control office for further instructions.

22.16 Rock Quarry. One or more rock mining quarries (collectively the "Quarry") operates approximately 1.5 miles from the northern edge of the Community and approximately 1.6 miles from the eastern edge of the Community. Due to the Community's close proximity to the Quarry, the Community may be affected by the natural consequence of having the Quarry being located and operated nearby including the emission of loud noise, vibration, dust, unpleasant odor, natural gas and/or other chemicals as a result of blasting, heavy machinery operations and truck traffic entering and exiting the Quarry during all hours. Seller cannot guarantee that noise, vibration, odors or gaseous or chemical emissions will not be noted in the future and is not responsible for excessive noise, odors or other nuisances which might result from the operations of this Quarry and truck traffic entering and exiting the Quarry during daytime and nighttime hours.

 

22.17 School Assignments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that school age children may not be assigned to the public school closest to their residences. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has not relied on any verbal or other representations from Seller or its representatives with respect to public school assignments.

Buyer acknowledges that Seller has no control over any past, current, or future uses of the Septic Systems and makes no representation regarding the Septic Systems, including what purposes the Septic Systems serve or served and whether the Septic Systems are closed or abandoned. Buyer understands that there is a risk that unused Septic Systems, if applicable, contain, or at one point may have contained, contaminants, which may impact wells or groundwater. For additional information concerning the Septic Systems, including any potential impact to the Community or the Home, Buyer is encouraged to contact the Texas Water Development Board and/or local governing authorities.

 

22.20 Mineral Exploration and Production Disclosure. The Community may be located within or near an area that is actively being explored for natural gas and/or oil or may be explored for natural gas and/or oil in the future ("Mineral Exploration"). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that (i) gas and/or oil wells may exist within the Community, including the designated greenbelt area of the Community, if any; (ii) drilling can and may occur within said area and that noise, dust, heavy machine operation, fumes and the like may occur; and (iii) after drilling occurs, gas and/or oil collection and/or extraction machinery may exist on a temporary or permanent basis.

22.26 Streetlights. Numerous streetlights will be installed within the Community, many of which will be installed after homes have been completed, sold and occupied. Streetlights are sized and placed in accordance with governmental requirements, and could in some instances generate light in or obstruct views from homes in the Community.

Seller, on behalf of itself, its agents, servants, employees, members, managers, directors, officers, affiliates, representatives, receivers, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, specifically disclaims any and all warranties concerning the installation and activation of street lighting within or with regard to the Community not performed, installed, activated by or under the direction of Seller. Buyer agrees to look solely to the responsible third party with respect to any matters regarding the installation and activation of street lighting within the Community.

 

22.27 Disclaimer Regarding Security Services. Neither the Declarant (as defined in the Declaration) nor the Seller are responsible for providing security or security services for the Community. All persons using or occupying any portion of the Community are responsible for their own security and the security of their own property. Neither the Declarant nor the Seller shall be liable in any way on account of loss, damage or injury resulting from lack of security, or the lack of effectiveness of any security measures undertaken. Neither Declarant nor Seller make any representations or warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, relative to any fire protection system and/or burglar alarm systems, or other security systems, recommended or installed or any security measures undertaken within the Community. For more information, Buyer should refer to the Document Book, or contact the Association.

 

22.28 Open Area Disclosure. Certain open spaces in the Community may have been dedicated to the Association. The Association may provide landscape maintenance to these areas as called for in the Document Book. Maintenance will consist of regular mowing, irrigation and weed control.

22.29 Future Commercial/Retail Uses. The Community may be located adjacent to properties which will be developed with major commercial and retail uses in the future. The development of such uses adjacent to the Community may increase traffic volumes, noise, outdoor lighting, pedestrian activity and other similar impacts resulting from commercial development.

 

22.30 Development of Adjacent Property. Seller's current development plans for the Community where the Home and Homesite are located may change and no representations or warranties are made concerning the development of the Community, or any property adjacent to, surrounding, or near such Community. Buyer acknowledges that sales and marketing information may show amenities which may be constructed at the time of purchase, and which may not be included in the final community. Buyer also acknowledges that the responsibility for constructing certain amenities may rest with parties other than Seller, and Seller has no obligation to Buyer to ensure the construction of any such amenities. The terms of this subsection shall survive Closing.

 

23. Risk of Unauthorized Cyber Access. Certain devices, machines, appliances, equipment or systems ("Devices") which are installed in the Home may include technology that allows such Devices to be accessed through the internet or other wireless technology. These Devices may include, without limitation, virtual assistant and voice activated devices, doorbell monitoring devices, water monitoring systems, remote door access systems (including garage doors), and environmental control systems. These Devices may allow a third party to gain unauthorized access to the Devices and control or access them without the Buyer's knowledge or permission. Additionally, such Devices may be used to propagate malware or gain access to other Devices, the Home, networks, computers and Buyer's data contained thereon. Depending on the technology included, the Devices may also carry a risk that verbal communications may be heard by unauthorized third parties or be inadvertently sent to third parties through a voice-activated Device. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the level of security and protection suitable for all Devices connected to any network in the Home, for configuring all relevant equipment to provide appropriate security, and for taking any other security measures Buyer deems necessary or appropriate in connection with such Devices, even if such Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller's direction. Seller makes no representation, and shall have no liability, for any data breaches, malware attacks, network intrusions, physical intrusions, privacy intrusions, cyber-attacks, theft, or other risks related to the Devices, even if such Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller's direction.

 

24. Regulatory and Governmental Approvals. The Community plans have or will be approved by the local governing authorities, as necessary.

26. Notice Regarding Potential Annexation. The Homesite may be located outside the limits of a municipality. Therefore, the Homesite may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the Homesite is located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the Community for further information.

 

27. Public Improvement District Disclosure. The Buyer of this parcel of real property may be obligated to pay an assessment to a municipality or county for an improvement project undertaken by a public improvement district under Subchapter A, Chapter 372, Local Government Code or Chapter 382, Local Government Code. The assessment may be due annually or in periodic installments. More information concerning the amount of the assessment and the due dates of that assessment may be obtained from the municipality or county levying the assessment. The amount of the assessments is subject to change. Buyer's failure to pay the assessments could result in a lien on and the foreclosure of Buyer's property.

 

28. Prices/Market Values. Seller, and any other builder in the Community, shall have the unilateral right to establish prices for the homes it builds in the Community. Seller and any other builder in the Community may, at its sole discretion, increase or decrease the price or the price per square foot for any home, homesite or option at any time, or offer incentives for sales of homesites and homes, all without notice to Buyer. Once Buyer has signed the Agreement establishing a price for the Home, the prices for any subsequent changes or upgrades to the Home as requested by Buyer, including but not limited to design, floor plan, options, materials or otherwise, are subject to change by Seller until a written and signed agreement on the price is reached by Seller and Buyer for such change or upgrade. Seller makes no representations or warranties that the price for the Home or options in the Home will be increased or decreased for other buyers of identical or similar homes or options. Seller also makes no representations or warranties that changes or options made by Buyer will or will not increase or decrease the market value of the Home, and Buyer understands and agrees that such upgrades or options may not increase or may actually decrease the market value of the Home. The Home is being sold for residential purposes and not as an investment.

 

29. Variations to Construction. Construction of a home is a unique and challenging endeavor with several thousand components that include both natural and man-made products. Some variations will need to be made during the construction process. Moreover, some fine-tuning will be required after Buyer moves into the Home. New homes will always have a certain amount of shrinkage and cracking during their early lives as materials dry out, soils settle, and the Home "settles in." Seller will address those issues under the terms of the Limited Warranty provided to Buyer.

 

30. Real Estate Tax Disclosure. Buyer should not rely on the Seller's current property taxes as the amount of property taxes that the Buyer may be obligated to pay in the year subsequent to purchase. A change of ownership or property improvements triggers reassessments of the Home that could result in higher property taxes. Seller is not responsible for communicating any information regarding real estate taxes (current or future) and cannot and will not predict what the taxes on the Home may be. Buyer should confirm any information provided concerning appraisals, tax valuation, tax rates or other tax-related questions with Buyer's personal tax advisor and the local taxing authorities.

 

31. Environmental Disclaimer. Various environmental related conditions may exist within or near the Home, including, without limitation, radon gas, odors, formaldehyde, mold, pollution from air, water and soil, and/or electro-magnetic fields that are produced from electric lines that are at or near the Home. The Texas Department of Health and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concern that prolonged exposure to high levels of radon gas and/or formaldehyde may result in adverse effects on human health. The Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding any such environmental related condition(s) within or near the Home. Prior to closing, Buyer shall have the opportunity, at Buyer's cost, to conduct such inspections and tests as reasonably necessary for Buyer to determine whether the environmental matters and risks related thereto, if any, are acceptable to Buyer. Buyer shall obtain Seller's written approval prior to conducting any inspections or tests and Buyer hereby releases Seller from any and all liability and claims with respect to the presence of environmental pollutants.

 

32. Indoor Environmental Quality Disclosure. There are many different types of indoor environmental contaminants, such as pet dander, dust mites and mold. Molds and other potential contaminants have been a part of our environment for millions of years. Contaminants are everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Therefore, everyone is exposed to some contaminants on a daily basis without evident harm. Due to a number of factors, including the fact that sensitivities to various types of molds and other potential contaminants vary from person to person, there are no state or federal standards concerning acceptable levels of exposure to mold. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the American Lung Association, some diseases or illness have been linked with biological pollutants in the indoor environment, including some forms of mold. However, many of these conditions also have causes unrelated to the indoor environment. Therefore, it is unknown how many potential health problems relate exclusively to poor indoor air. Buyer should determine for himself/herself whether Buyer, Buyer's family members or any other individuals who will occupy or use the Home have special needs or increased risk to these conditions. Buyer should carefully monitor the conditions in the Home for mold growth and other contaminants.

 

When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth can and will occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains unaddressed. There is no practical way to eliminate all molds or mold spores in an indoor environment. The key to controlling indoor mold growth is to control moisture.

 

Page 10 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

There are many ways to help control moisture in and beneath the Home.  The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the American Lung Association and others recommend taking measures such as those listed below to help control moisture in and beneath the Home. The following list is not meant to be all-inclusive.

 

Fix leaking plumbing and any other source of unwanted water immediately.

 

 

Maintain proper indoor humidity. Equipment that conditions the air, such as air conditioners, humidifiers and ventilation systems must be operated year round.

 

 

Raise the temperature in areas where moisture condenses on surfaces and open doors between rooms to increase air circulation in the Home, including doors to closets.

 

 

Have major appliances, such as furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioners, window air conditioning units, ventilation systems and furnace attached humidifiers inspected, cleaned and serviced regularly by a qualified professional.

 

 

Clean and dry refrigerator, air conditioner and dehumidifier drip pans and filters regularly and make sure that refrigerator and freezer doors seal properly.

 

 

Keep water away from the foundation of the Home by maintaining required slopes, drainage and keeping plantings and sprinklers the proper distance from the Home.

 

 

If there is a sump pump in the Home, inspect it regularly to ensure that it is properly operating.

 

 

If there is a crawl space or structural sub-floor, inspect the ground beneath the floor on a regular basis to make sure there is no standing or excessive water. If there is standing or excessive water, seek professional assistance to remove the water. If Buyer is interested in finishing the basement, only do so after consulting an expert to determine the suitability of the basement for a finished area.

 

The following are suggestions that may assist Buyer in preventing and addressing mold growth in the Home.

 

It is important that Buyer responds promptly when Buyer sees signs of moisture or mold.

 

 

Do not allow moisture to stand or make contact with carpet, furniture and cellulose-based materials, such as wood, drywall or other non-tile, non-plastic or non-metal materials.

 

 

Dry all water damaged areas and items immediately to prevent mold growth.

 

 

If mold develops, clean up the mold by washing off hard surfaces with detergent and water and completely dry the surface.

 

 

Depending upon the nature and extent of the mold infestation, trained professionals may be needed to assist in the remediation effort.

 

 

Mold that is not properly and adequately removed may reappear.

 

Proper maintenance and cleaning of the Home is the responsibility of each homeowner and will lessen the potential for water intrusion and help to control indoor environmental contaminants. Further, it is the responsibility of each homeowner to monitor their Home on a continual basis for excessive moisture, water and mold accumulation. If Buyer discovers accumulation of water or moisture in, around or under the Home, Buyer should immediately seek to control the source of the water or moisture. Failing to control the source could result in additional damage and the growth of mold. Plumbing leaks and water penetrations that are covered by the Limited Warranty, if any, during the term of the Limited Warranty must be reported to Seller immediately. If the Limited Warranty has expired or does not cover the specific problem, Buyer should not delay in having professionals address the problem. Seller will not be responsible for, and Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims in connection with, water-related damages, including personal injuries or property damage caused by mold, but only to extent that the damages are caused by (i) Buyer's negligence, (ii) Buyer's failure to promptly take appropriate corrective measures and minimize any damages caused by the water or moisture, or (iii) Buyer's failure to promptly provide Seller with notice of the water or moisture and give Seller an opportunity to dry the water or moisture and remediate, if necessary, any moisture conditions in the Home caused by improper construction.   Buyer also agrees to waive all rights of subrogation for damages resulting from water-related damages, mold growth, any personal injuries, or any remediation resulting from (i) Buyer's negligence, (ii) Buyer's failure to promptly take appropriate corrective measures and minimize any damages caused by the water or moisture, or (iii) Buyer's failure to promptly provide Seller with notice of the water or moisture and give Seller an opportunity to dry the water or moisture and remediate, if necessary, any moisture conditions in the Home caused by improper construction.

 

33. Installation of Swimming Pool and/or Decking. Buyer understands and acknowledges that should Buyer choose to install a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping at the Home, that this installation could have an adverse impact with regard to the Home's foundation and could void the Limited Warranty on Buyer's Home. Specifically, Seller has constructed the Home in accordance with recommendations of a geotechnical engineer that requires positive drainage away from the Home. The installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping without providing for positive drainage away from the foundation of the Home could result in serious impacts on the Home's foundation. This could result in a voiding of the Limited Warranty on the Home. For additional information, Buyer should refer to the Limited Warranty. Further, should Buyer choose to install a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping at the Home, Buyer acknowledges that it may be necessary to relocate certain electrical lines that run underground and Buyer agrees to be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the electrical lines (whether relocation or otherwise). Buyer further hereby acknowledges that:

 

Page 11 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

33.1 Buyer is responsible for maintaining proper grading and drainage of the Home.

 

33.2 Buyer is responsible for ensuring that any installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping does not adversely impact and shall properly maintain the grading and drainage of the Home.

 

33.3 The installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping could result in serious impacts on the Home's foundation and could void the Limited Warranty on the Home.

 

33.4 Buyer is solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the potential impact of the installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping on the electrical lines at the Home (whether relocation or otherwise).

 

34. Construction and Sales Activities. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SOME AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY MAY BE UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. INCIDENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, THE QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THE COMMUNITY MAY BE UNAVOIDABLY INTERFERED WITH TO SOME EXTENT BY THE CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS. Construction, development and sales activities in the Community will likely occur after Buyer has taken occupancy of Buyer's Home. Depending upon Buyer's sensitivities, this may result in some inconvenience to Buyer and Buyer's family and guests due to increased noise, dust, road closures, operation of the model homes and sales offices, and other activities. Construction activities can occur at various hours throughout the day, and sales activities can result in additional traffic and visitors throughout the Community, particularly before the Community is completely built out. Neither Seller nor any other builder that may be active in the Community can guarantee that Buyer will not be affected or impacted as a result of the overall construction and development of the Community. Seller gives no guarantees or assurances on the active time of the Community model homes. Homesites across the street or next to the model homes may remain undeveloped until Seller determines that these homesites are no longer needed for marketing purposes.

 

34.1 Views. Future development and construction activities within, adjacent to, or near the Community can and will modify the view from homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite). Trees and other foliage may be added or removed from lots or common areas of the Community. Additional housing and other improvements will be added within the Community, and may be added near or adjacent to the Community. Because future development and construction activities within, adjacent to, or near the Community will modify views from homesites, Seller does not warrant or guarantee any existing views will be maintained in the future relative to the Home.

 

35. Landscaping.

 

35.1 Trees and Foliage. The Community may contain numerous native trees of various sizes and varieties. While Seller has taken great care during the planning and construction of the Community to save trees, future development and construction will require the removal of additional trees, shrubs and other foliage and, therefore, Seller does not guarantee the preservation of any trees, shrubs, ground cover or other foliage in the Community or Buyer's Homesite, and cannot be responsible for short or long-term damages to foliage due to construction or development activities. Seller makes no representation or warranty that trees on the Homesite being purchased or any other homesite or common area in the Community will not be removed. Buyer acknowledges that the condition of any trees on the Home will have no effect on any premiums that may have been charged due to size or location of the Home. All care and maintenance of foliage on an individual homesite is the responsibility of the homeowner, and Seller does not guarantee or warranty the survival of any foliage. Buyer understands that trees located in the undeveloped areas of the Community and those situated on adjacent properties may be cleared as development progresses into future phases. The Document Book may contain restrictions regarding the removal of any tree over a certain size. In addition, the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community may have adopted certain tree ordinances regulating the removal of any tree over a certain size. Buyer should contact the Association or the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community to ensure that its regulations are adhered to.

 

35.2 Sodded Parkway. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sodded parkway, if any, may not contain irrigation. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that this area may require additional watering and that this is Buyer's responsibility.

 

35.3 Maintenance of Greenbelt. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Community may contain a greenbelt and/or pond areas that are owned and controlled by the Association and/or developer. Maintenance of these areas is currently handled by the Association and/or developer.

 

35.4 Landscaping Disclosure and Warranty. All grading, fill, removal of existing trees and shrubs and control of water flow will be performed and completed at Seller's sole discretion. Seller's landscape package shall be limited to the features reflected in Seller's Feature Sheet, and shall be subject to the following:

 

35.4.1 Rough grading of the yard will conform to natural contours, the grading plan for the Community, and will direct flow of water away from the Home's foundation.

 

Page 12 of 14

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

35.4.2   Final grade of Homesite will remove large surface rocks only.

 

35.4.3    Seller does not warrant any of the landscaping or any of the natural or existing trees and shrubs. Seller will not be responsible for water damage resulting from natural erosion or erosion caused by changes in grade by Buyer or any owner of the Home. Due to the fact that Seller cannot control the care of landscaping and ground cover installed at the Home, Seller offers no warranty on such items. It will be important that Buyer carefully inspect all shrubs, trees and ground cover at the time of Buyer's New Home Orientation in order to insure satisfaction. Once Buyer has closed on the Home, it will be Buyer's responsibility to care for and to protect all such items from disease, acts of nature and other such damage.

 

36. Disclosures Affecting the Home.

 

36.1 Washing Machine/Drain Pan. If the utility room in the Home is located on the second floor, it may be difficult to maneuver the washer and dryer into the utility room. Buyer understands that the washing machine must be lifted approximately three (3) inches off the floor and placed into the washing machine drain pan. The washing machine drain pan can be damaged if the appliance is not installed correctly. It is Buyer's responsibility to ensure proper installation of the washer and dryer.

 

36.2 Engineered Flooring. Buyer understands that the subfloor supporting the second story, if any, was designed using standard live and dead loads. These designs are not intended to support high point-load items such as waterbeds or pool tables. The placement of waterbeds, pool tables, or any other high point- load furniture on the second story will void the warranty on the floor system including, but not limited to, floor pops or squeaks, sheetrock cracks, humps or dips, and unlevelness.

 

36.3 Attic Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that the attic system contains designated areas for attic storage. Placing items in the attic for storage in non-designated areas is strongly discouraged and not recommended and can result in damage to the Home for which Seller is not liable.

 

36.4 General Cabinet Disclaimer. Buyer acknowledges that the cabinets may have characteristics that can affect the coloring and shading of the finished cabinets. These variances include, but are not limited to, staining color and shading variances. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will not be responsible for any variances in the color, shading, etc. of these cabinets and no alterations or changes will be made to the cabinets regarding these cosmetic issues. Buyer further acknowledges that Seller will only address workmanship issues with regards to the kitchen cabinets.

 

36.5 Wallpaper Disclosure. Except as is expressly reflected in the Feature Sheets for the Community in which the Home is located, the Home will not be furnished with interior wallpaper. Furthermore, since the walls will not be finished with interior wallpaper, Buyer acknowledges that such walls will be textured and painted in lieu of any wallpaper consideration.

 

36.6 Insect Disclosure. The Home is being constructed with pressure treated base plates and a plastic moisture barrier. The primary function of these materials is to resist moisture decay. In addition, these applications can lessen the ability of wood-destroying insects to damage the Home.

 

36.7 Garages. Garage sizes and heights may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. It is not uncommon for floor plans to change during actual construction of the Home. Specific homesite conditions or local ordinances may determine the (i) location of safety bollards intended to protect plumbing or mechanical systems located inside the garage and/or (ii) design of steps from the garage to the Home thereby affecting the usability of interior garage space available for parking vehicles. Further, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that stated floor plan dimensions and square footages are approximate and should never be relied upon as the actual as-built size of the garage; modifications to floor plan dimensions and square footages shown in sales materials may occur for many circumstances, without notice to or consent of Buyer, including but not limited to, inclusions of options and upgrades, actual field conditions and governmental agency requirements.

 

Buyer should further be aware that the garage orientation is predetermined by Seller. This decision is based on engineering, easements, and utility considerations, as well as maximizing the Homesite and the appearance of street scene in the Community.

 

36.8 Gang/Cluster Mailboxes. Buyer hereby acknowledges that the mailboxes serving the homes in Community may be installed as "gang/cluster mailboxes" in the Community common areas and in such event individual mailboxes will not be installed separately on Buyer's Homesite or on any other individual homesites in the Community. Neither Seller nor the Association will be responsible for any issues whatsoever, including any inconvenience to Buyer which might result from the location, installation, maintenance and use of gang/cluster mailboxes, or the delivery and pick up of mail to and from such gang/cluster mailboxes in the Community, as may be required by the United States Postal Service.

 

37. Burning of Candles. Burning of candles inside the Home can cause severe damage to carpet, walls, clothing, furniture and everything else in the Home. The damage resulting from candle burning may be affected by the number and/or type of candle(s) burned. Buyer understands that Seller will not warrant or remedy the effects of candle burning and will not be responsible for any damage done to the Home, or the contents thereof, due to candle burning. This unwarranted damage includes, but is not limited to, soot build-up, discoloration, "shadowing" and streaking. Seller explicitly states that candles should not be burned inside of the Home.

Austin, Texas (06-AUG-21)

 

 

 

 

38. Access Prior to Closing. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may not: (i) store an item on or in the Homesite prior to closing; (ii) install any item on or in the Home or Homesite prior to closing such as speaker wire, flatwork, interior or exterior paint, landscaping, etc.; or (iii) park in the driveway of the Home or any home under construction.

 

39. Statements Made by Sales Staff and Brokers. Seller wants to ensure that Seller and Buyer are in full agreement on all terms and conditions relating to the Agreement. To best ensure that there are no misunderstandings, Buyer should ensure that all terms and conditions (including all statements, representations, or understandings upon which Buyer relies in purchasing the Home) are set forth in writing in the Agreement. If there are any statements, representations or understandings which are made by a sales staff person or any other representative of Seller which are material to Buyer's decision to purchase, Buyer should insist that any such statement, representation or understanding is put in writing and contained in the Agreement. Seller reserves the right to reject the Agreement notwithstanding the inclusion of any such item in the Agreement.

 

40. Addendum not a Substitute. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that this Addendum is not a substitute for reading the entire Document Book. For a more detailed explanation of any section contained in this Addendum, refer to the Document Book.

 

41. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

42. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

43. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda or riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL AND MANMADE PRODUCTS

 

THIS ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL AND MANMADE PRODUCTS (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Exterior Brick and Natural Stone Flooring and Countertops. Natural stones ("Natural Stone") and bricks ("Brick") with varying colors and mineral compositions are found in quarries throughout the world. Natural Stone and/or Brick including, without limitation, marble and granite stone types, are therefore products of nature and vary in color, markings, shade, and texture. Buyer acknowledges that neither Natural Stone nor Brick is uniform and that Seller can make no guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Natural Stone or Brick to be used in the Home. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Natural Stone to be used/installed in Buyer's Home:

 

2.1 Cleaning. Care should be exercised when cleaning Natural Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Stone.

 

2.2 Natural Inconsistencies. Natural Stone contains natural inconsistencies which will be present in Natural Stone flooring and/or countertops in the Home; such natural inconsistencies are normal and are not defects.

 

2.3 Edges and Corners. There may be changes in the patterning of Natural Stone from one edge or corner of the flooring or countertop to another edge or corner; such changes in patterning is normal and is not a defect.

 

2.4 Fissures and Pits. Natural Stone may contain fissures and pits that occur naturally and may appear as a small hole or recess; such fissures and pits are not cracks or defects.

 

2.5 Spots, Freckles, and Rust. Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Natural Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Natural Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

2.6 Seams. Natural Stone is almost never seamless due to the techniques employed to cut the slab of Natural Stone in a way that preserves the maximum beauty of such Natural Stone. Pieces of Natural Stone must therefore be fitted together and the Natural Stone used in the Home will not be seamless and may have visible seams, which are not defects.

 

2.7 Wallboard and Plaster. Natural Stone is cut by machine to be straight. Irregularities occurring in the Home may mean that the installer has to force pieces of Natural Stone into the wallboard or plaster during installation to compensate for the irregularities. Shims, caulking and putty may be used to fill imperfections in walls and floors in order to install Natural Stone flooring and countertops. There may be such shims, caulking and/or putty in the Natural Stone used in the Home, which shims, caulking and/or putty are used to enhance the installation and are not defects.

 

2.8 Staining. Natural Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

2.9 Sink Cabinet. The cabinet directly under the sink may be six (6) inches larger than the sink, as a sink of larger size will preclude adjustment of seams and edges of Natural Stone countertop and may result in a deterioration of the Natural Stone countertop.

 

3. Mortar and Selection of Color and Type of Brick or Natural Stone. Buyer acknowledges that only one color of mortar is available, and that there are no other colors from which to choose. Buyer further acknowledges that the Brick and/or Natural Stone types selected by Buyer, or that has been selected prior to Buyer's purchase of Home, is final and that no deviations are allowed.

 

4. Cabinet Stain Color. Cabinet stain colors may vary from home-to-home as well as from cabinet-to-cabinet. Buyer acknowledges that same and/or similar types of wood are not man-made and, as such, variations in grain, knots, color, texture and overall appearance may occur. Buyer further acknowledges that stain color on handrail variations may and sometimes do occur due to the aforementioned factors.

 

5. Manmade Products. The Home may include one or more of the following manmade products: carpet, tile and wood flooring; wall and pool wet area tiles; wood cabinets; cultured marble tubs, sinks and countertops; roof tiles; stamped concrete and paver driveways. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that shade variations are inherent in manmade products. Colors of actual manmade products may vary from samples or catalogues and slight color variations may exist from different product runs. Buyer acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the manmade products, or to the suitability or maintenance of any manmade products in the Home. Buyer acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the manmade products to be used/installed in the Home.

5.1 Bathroom Fixtures. There may be a variation in shading between bathroom fixtures within the same room, including commodes, sinks, countertops, tubs, and towel bars.

 

5.2 Exterior Finish. Seller may provide an exterior decorative finish with a painted surface. The exterior decorative coating is not a waterproofing material. The proper application of paint and caulking of joints over cement based material and decorative wood components provide for the moisture resistant qualities of the exterior surface of the Home. Buyer acknowledges that repainting of the Home will likely be required at least every five years.

 

5.3 Ceramic Tile. Normal slab settlement may crack ceramic tile and the physical characteristics are conducive to chipping after installation by a number of different causes; subsequent chipping and cracking is unavoidable and not a warrantable item. Buyer will have the opportunity to inspect the Home prior to Closing and Seller requests that Buyer examine any tile floor closely at this time.

 

5.4 Wooden Laminate Cabinets. Wooden laminate cabinets are a popular selection of cabinetry in the home building industry. As the technological and manufacturing processes continue to emerge, what may appear to be a particular species of wood, (i.e., birch, oak, walnut, etc.) may in fact be a veneer over a composition product; stained and finished to resemble a specific species of wood. Buyer acknowledges that wooden laminate cabinets may be manufactured with various manmade products and/or product names used in the manufacturing process. As with other natural materials, wooden laminate cabinets will be affected by environmental factors such as natural and artificial lighting, so Buyer may see the color of such cabinets gradually change and mellow over time. Seams will be visible in the framework of all face frame cabinets, if applicable.

 

5.5 Paver Driveway and Walk. Pavers are an interlocking system supported by the existing earth. White mason sand is used to space the pavers and is meant to wash out in a short time. Pavers are not meant to have grout or mortar joints. Variations in the plane or levelness are expected and normal. The vast majority of elevation variances occur during the first year following installation. Buyer acknowledges that the pavers used to construct the Home's driveway and walk may be rustic, and no two paving stones are identical in color, texture or finish. Due to normal manufacturing, shipping, handling and installation, pavers may have abrasions, marks and minor staining. Normal weathering can also change the color and texture of the pavers. The most popular finish to be applied to paving stones is a clear sealer. Sealing also helps reduce effervescence, weathering, the penetration of permanent stains and normal wear and tear. The sealing of pavers is a normal maintenance function. Buyer should have a professional install any sealer. Seller recommends that Buyer not install any sealer until Buyer has occupied the Home for thirty (30) days to allow pavers to properly cure. Buyer further acknowledges that the paving stones at the models have not been sealed and have been left in their original condition.

 

6. Manmade Stone. At the option of the Buyer, the Home may include Manmade Stone ("Manmade Stone") on the exterior of the Home. Buyer acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Manmade Stone to be installed on the Home: the Manmade Stone is (i) not a naturally-occurring stone and (ii) is not a waterproofing material. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Manmade Stone to be used/installed as part of the Home:

 

6.1 Seller may provide an exterior decorative finish with a painted surface. The exterior decorative coating is not a waterproofing material. The proper application of paint and caulking of joints over cement based material and decorative wood components provide for the moisture resistant qualities of the exterior surface of the Home. Buyer acknowledges that repainting of the Home will likely be required at least every five years.

 

6.2 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that shade variations are inherent in Manmade Stone. Colors of the Manmade Stone may vary from samples or catalogues and slight color variations may exist from different product runs. Buyer acknowledges that the Manmade Stone is not uniform and Seller makes no representations or guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Manmade Stone, or to the suitability or maintenance of any Manmade Stone that is made a part of the Home.

 

6.3 Care should be exercised when cleaning Manmade Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean Manmade Stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Manmade Stone.

 

6.4 Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Manmade Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Manmade Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

6.5 Manmade Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Manmade Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

7. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

All contracts and service agreements relating to internet connectivity are between the Buyer and third parties, and Seller shall have no liability or responsibility in connection with such agreements or services.

 

THE BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BUYER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THEIR INTERNET BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS. WIRELESS EQUIPMENT PRE-INSTALLED IN THE HOME ONLY PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY INSIDE THE HOME. SELLER HAS NO CONTROL OVER, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, CONNECTION SPEEDS BETWEEN THE HOME AND THE INTERNET, OR THE RELIABILITY OF SUCH CONNECTIONS, OR ANY CONNECTIVITY, RELIABILITY, OR BANDWIDTH ISSUES ARISING FROM OUTSIDE THE HOME OR FROM THE BUYER'S INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER. THE BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CERTAIN ACTIVITIES MAY REQUIRE CONNECTION SPEEDS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THAT SUPPORTED BY WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES. IF THE BUYER REQUIRES HIGHER SPEEDS A WIRED CONNECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN ADDITION TO ANY PRE-INSTALLED WIRELESS EQUIPMENT.

 

3. Wireless and Internet Devices.

 

3.1 Devices. Pursuant to the Agreement, Buyer shall receive certain machines, appliances, equipment, systems and wireless and/or internet devices ("Smart Devices") with the purchase of the Home. Seller reserves the right to, without notice, change or substitute Smart Devices, which in Seller's opinion are considered to be of quality substantially similar or equal, or are of better quality, subject to their availability.

 

3.2 Device Warranties. Smart Devices are subject only to manufacturer warranties, and Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding them. Seller shall have no liability for any manufacturer or third party warranties relating to any Smart Devices. Physical network wiring in the Home will be treated in the same manner as other wiring installed in the Home.

 

3.3 Security, Privacy and Data Breach. To the extent any Smart Devices include any security features or capabilities, the devices may be pre-configured with factory-default security settings. To the extent any such device is not configured, the Buyer is responsible for all configuration and settings.

3.4 Buyer's Requirements, Buyer's Devices, and Third Party Devices.

Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding the Smart Devices or any consequences thereof (including, without limitation, any personal injury or property damage caused by, or related in any manner to, the malfunction thereof), and Buyer shall be solely responsible for monitoring any alerts received on any application that are related to the performance of any Smart Device.

3.6 Activation and Post-Activation Support. The Smart Devices and related software require, among other things, Buyer to download and use the Smart Devices' mobile applications and at least one active mobile device that is available for use. Each third party manufacturer, and not Seller, will be responsible for providing support to Buyer in connection with the applicable Smart Device.

ENERGY ADDENDUM

 

THIS ENERGY ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is, by this reference, made part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Energy Claims. In the marketing of the Home/Unit, certain verbal or written statements may have been made, including but not limited to statements contained in advertising and marketing material, relating to the energy efficiency, energy consumption, energy savings or energy costs of the Home/Unit. Buyer acknowledges that any such statements were estimates only and were developed by third parties based upon the design of the Home/Unit and/or various indices. Actual Home/Unit energy savings will vary due to, among numerous other factors, construction variances, floor plan, occupancy, appliance usage, thermostat settings, weather conditions, maintenance and orientation of the Home/Unit. Seller provides no guarantee of savings that will be achieved by each homeowner.

 

3. HERS Index. Based on an analysis of the home's plans, a third party Home Energy Rater uses an energy efficiency software package to perform an energy analysis of the home's design. This analysis yields a projected, pre-construction HERS ("Home Energy Rating System") Index. The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network ("RESNET") in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower a home's HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. Each 1-point decrease in the HERS Index corresponds to an estimated 1% increase in energy efficiency compared to the HERS Reference Home. For any home with a HERS Index rating, the Buyer understands and agrees that the rating is not to be construed as a guarantee of energy savings or consumption levels. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the HERS Index.

 

4. Certification Program. In connection with the sale of the Home/Unit, Seller may have used a third party to certify that the Home/Unit was designed to certain guidelines ("Certification Program"). Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding any aspect of the Certification Program. Buyer acknowledges that the third party estimate is based upon analytical methods and not necessarily testing of the Home/Unit.

 

5. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

6. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY ADDENDUM

 

THIS APPRAISAL CONTINGENCY ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III ("Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other rider and addenda attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Contingency. This above referenced Agreement is contingent upon an independent appraisal as follows:

 

2.1. Buyer has elected to obtain a mortgage loan from Lender (as defined in the Agreement) to finance the transaction contemplated by the Agreement. Buyer understands that the amount of the mortgage loan provided by Lender is subject to the Lender's "loan to value" ratio, which is the percentage of the mortgage amount in relation to the appraised value of the Property as determined by the Lender's appraisal. The Lender's appraisal of the Property at the then current market conditions at the time of Closing may not equal the Total Purchase Price.

 

2.2. Buyer understands and agrees that any entry by Buyer or Buyer's appraiser shall be done at Buyer's risk and in compliance within all of Seller's safety guidelines and federal, state and local safety laws and regulations, and as required by the Agreement and other Addenda to the Agreement, which remain in full force and effect.

 

2.3. If the Property does not appraise at or above the Total Purchase Price, then Buyer has the option of (i) terminating this Agreement, whereupon Seller may retain, in Seller's sole and absolute discretion, all or a portion of the Buyer's earnest money or (ii) proceed to Closing and be obligated to pay the difference at Closing. If Buyer elects (i) above, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and retain the Deposit as agreed upon liquidated damages for taking the Property off of the market and for Seller's carrying costs and associated marketing and administrative costs. The parties acknowledge that Seller's actual damages in the event of a breach or default by Buyer under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties' best estimate of such damages. The parties further agree that the amount of liquidated damages is fixed and agreed to as a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller shall suffer and is not in the nature of a penalty. If Buyer elects (ii) above, under no circumstance shall the Buyer be excused from performance under this Agreement; except for a Seller default under the Agreement. Buyer understands that the option referenced in this paragraph must be selected within five (5) calendar days of Buyer receiving the appraisal. If Buyer fails to provide its selection in writing to Seller within the required time frame, Buyer will be in default and Seller shall have the right to exercise all available remedies as set forth herein and in the Agreement.

 

2.4.    Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement provides for a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guaranteed or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured loan, the applicable appraisal requirements are set forth in the FHA/VA Rider and incorporated herein.

 

3. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

4. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

INSULATION ADDENDUM

 

THIS INSULATION ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is, by this reference, made part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2.   Insulation. Pursuant to Title 16, Chapter I, Section 460.16 of the Code of Federal Regulations, the insulation that is or will be installed where conditioned space meets unconditioned space is as follows and will, according to the manufacturer, yield the R-values stated:

 

Location

Type

Thickness

R-Value

 

Fiberglass Batts

3.5"

Fiberglass Batts

5.5"

Fiberglass Blown

14.5"

38

 

Fiberglass Batts

12"

38

 

Fiberglass Batts

6.5"

  22

 

If so indicated above, fiberglass (also known as glass wool) is/will be used for insulation. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services ("HHS") has listed fiberglass as a substance "which may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen." This listing identifies substances selected for further study because of their potential carcinogenic risk but is not an assessment by HHS that there is a causal connection between fiberglass and human cancer. The listing does not establish that fiberglass presents a risk to persons in their daily lives.

 

3. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

4. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

RIDER B

(AUSTIN DIVISION)

 

THIS RIDER B (this "Rider B") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") entered into as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III ("Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Rider B to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Rider B and to any other rider and addenda attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference. In addition to those terms, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

 

2. Site and Substitutions. If Buyer purchases any upgrades or options that include specific manufacturers, Seller will provide Buyer with notice of any change in manufacturer.

 

3. Homeowner's Warranty.

 

3.1 Warranties. Buyer understands and agrees that Seller is making only those express limited warranties set forth in Seller's warranty booklet (the "Limited Warranty") or any other applicable warranty. A copy of the Limited Warranty (or other applicable warranty booklet) is available to Buyer at the time this Addendum is signed; and a copy of the Limited Warranty shall be delivered to Buyer at Closing and a copy of which is available for examination at Seller's office and will, at Buyer's request, be attached as an exhibit to the Agreement. By initialing below, Buyer acknowledges that Buyer has had the opportunity to receive and review the Limited Warranty (or other applicable warranty) prior to execution of the Agreement and that Buyer agreed to be bound by the terms of the Limited Warranty (or other applicable warranty) including any and all binding arbitration provisions.                      THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY AND REMEDIES PROVIDED BY SELLER CONSTITUTE THE EXCLUSIVE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES TO BE MADE AVAILABLE BY SELLER AND ARE IN PLACE OF ALL OTHER GUARANTIES OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING         BUT   NOT       LIMITED    TO             WARRANTIES           OF    WORKMANSHIP, MERCHANTABILITY, HABITABILITY, SUITABILITY AND FITNESS, WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY SELLER AND WAIVED BY BUYER.          TO THE EXTENT OF ANY CONFLICT     BETWEEN   ANY        PROVISION           OF THE AGREEMENT         RELATED TO WARRANTIES AND THE LIMITED WARRANTY, THE PROVISIONS OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL CONTROL.

 

 

Buyer's Initials

 

 

3.2  Settlement of Warranty Disputes. Any disputes, claims or controversies relating to any items, problems, defects or difficulties covered by the Limited Warranty shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute settlement provisions contained in the Limited Warranty. The manual that Buyer will receive explains how to contact Seller if Buyer believes that a construction problem exists that may be covered by the warranties discussed in this section. If Buyer is not satisfied with Seller's response to a notice of a possible construction problem, Buyer may notify a Customer Care Supervisor if Buyer believes the possible construction problem is covered by the Limited Warranty. SELLER LIMITS ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LIMITED WARRANTY TO REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OR PAYMENT TO BUYER OF THE REASONA BLE COST OF REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT.

 

 

Buyer's Initials

 

3.3 Manufacturer's Warranty Disclaimer. SELLER ASSIGNS AND PASSES THROUGH TO BUYER THE MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES FOR ALL APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN THE HOME AND SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT THERETO. SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON ANY APPLIANCE AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF USE, FITNESS OF USE, WORKMANSHIP OR QUALITY. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY TO THE APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY CAUSED BY THE APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS. THE TERM "APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS" MEANS ALL APPLIANCES, WATER HEATERS, AIR CONDITIONERS, BURGLAR ALARMS, STOVES, REFRIGERATORS, DISHWASHERS AND OTHER ITEMS DEFINED AS CONSUMER PRODUCTS BY 15 U.S.C. § 2301 OR 16 C.F.R. § 702 WHICH ARE OR WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE HOME. SELLER'S DISCLAIMER OF MANUFACTURERS' WARRANTIES DOES NOT LIMIT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE WARRANTY OF ANY MANUFACTURER.

 

4. Changes, Additions and/or Deletions. Seller offers optional features in our homes. However, we do not allow custom changes or deletions to our plans. Seller has designed each of the homes with as much attention to detail as possible. However, it is not possible to design homes that will meet the exact needs of every customer without becoming a "custom" builder. Also, once the Home is started, we cannot allow any changes to color selections after the construction stage cutoff dates maintained by Seller for the Homesite referenced herein, as these items are normally pre-ordered at the start of construction. Please review the Agreement for additional provisions relating to this topic.

 

Page 1 of 4

Austin, Texas (03-NOV-21)

 

 

 

 

5. Use of Other Suppliers and Subcontractors. Due to the provisions of our liability and workers compensation insurance carriers, as well as our contractual agreements with our suppliers and subcontractors, we cannot allow the use of any other suppliers or subcontractors.

 

6. Color Selections. In order to allow sufficient time for our suppliers to order all of the materials to be used in Buyer's new Home, Seller requests that all color selections be finalized prior to the construction stage cutoff dates maintained by Seller for the Homesite referenced herein. All color selections must be done in writing. Verbal selections will not be accepted by Seller.

 

7. Title Insurance. Buyer is instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an abstract of title for the Property and to have an attorney review it before Closing. Buyer is also instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer's cost, an owner's title policy from any title company of Buyer's choice. If Buyer desires, Buyer may use the title company customarily used by Seller, but it is ultimately Buyer's choice. Please review the Agreement and the Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement for additional provisions related to this topic.

 

8. Selections. If Seller is delivering the Home through a Design Center as indicated in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum, Seller will provide Buyer, when available, with a checklist of color and/or material choices for those items for which Buyer will have a choice, if any (in Seller's sole discretion). Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, or first available appointment with a design consultant, Buyer agrees to personally select upon Seller's standard forms, and at the location designated by the Seller, any options available for the Home ("Selection Period"). At Seller's option, Buyer shall pay for any available options chosen by Buyer at the time of selection. If Buyer fails to make the required selections within the Selection Period, Buyer will be deemed to have waived the right to make selections and the Seller may select such options and extras on behalf of the Buyer and complete the Unit. If Buyer waives the right to make sections, Seller shall have the option to (i) declare Buyer in default hereunder, or (ii) charge Buyer the amount of $100 per day to compensate Seller for its additional administrative costs caused by Buyer's delay. All available options must be selected through Seller. Colors of all items and materials not included in that checklist will be selected by Seller. Buyer shall have no right to make changes after the Selection Period. If Seller agrees in its sole discretion to permit Buyer to make a change after the Selection Period expires, Buyer will be required to pay the cost of such change plus a $1,000 non-refundable administrative fee for each such change.

 

No contractor hired directly by Buyer may enter upon or do work of any kind before Closing. Seller shall not be responsible for any difference or change in color, wood grain, dye lots, tint, shading, discoloration, or tone, etc. between that of samples of options displayed to Buyer, the merchandise ordered, and that delivered and/or installed. This includes but is not limited to cabinets, countertops, wood flooring, tile flooring and grout, marble fireplace surrounds, carpeting, railing and staircase stains, etc. Wood is purchased from all parts of North America; as a result, there may be variations in many superficial characteristics of the timber. Every piece of wood has different characteristics in color and grain resulting in inconsistency of how the various pieces take staining and finishing. Mineral streaks can manifest as shades of black, green, red or white. Black streaks may also be found in maple wood and cherry wood may have "pit marks". These variations can be very distractive, especially in natural and light stain finishes. The wood of your completed cabinetry and/or flooring may project a different appearance from that of a smaller example, another set of cabinets or a completely different floor. Dimensions of your Home may differ from those reflected in brochures, advertisements, artist's renderings and marketing floor plans. Actual dimensions may vary upon completion of the Home. Notwithstanding this Section, if Buyer is purchasing a completed home, any selection must take place within forty-eight (48) hours of the Effective Date. Otherwise all other provisions of this Section shall apply.

 

IF HOME IS AN INVENTORY HOME, THEN ALL SELECTIONS FOR THE INVENTORY HOME HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NO CHANGES IN ANY SELECTION MAY BE MADE TO THE HOME REGARDLESS OF STAGE OF COMPLETION AT PURCHASE.

 

9. Square Footage. Buyer acknowledges that the total square footage and individual dimensions on the plans and specifications are approximations and should not be construed to indicate certainty. Seller makes no guarantee or warranty regarding the precise or actual square footage of the Home. In this regard, elevations and floor plans are merely conceptual, and actual construction will be done according to the latest available blueprints and may vary, and in all events shall be subject to field adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Seller. Garage sizes may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. Should precise square footage measurements be necessary to Buyer, an architect of Buyer's choosing (and at Buyer's cost) should be consulted.

 

10. No Communication with Trade Partners or Physical/Verbal Abuse. All matters pertaining to the construction of the Home will be performed by Seller and Seller's contractors, subcontractors, and other vendors ("Trade Partners"). Buyer is prohibited from instructing or requesting work from the Trade Partners or otherwise hindering the construction of the Home. Buyer will not verbally or physically abuse Seller's Trade Partners, employees, agents, or any other associated personnel, including without limitation, sales, construction or office personnel. Buyer understands and agrees that, during the building process, Buyer's primary contact with Seller is the New Home Consultant.

 

11. Loan Lock. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not and will not be responsible for storage and/or moving expenses or expired lock agreements with Buyer's mortgage company. Buyer further understands that all closing dates are approximate dates for completion of the Home.

 

11.1 Buyer understands that the election to lock an interest rate is strictly between Buyer and the mortgage lender. Due to variations in construction schedules, Seller prohibits the offering of any advice or recommendations regarding the decision to lock interest rates.

11.2 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not responsible should Buyer's loan lock expire before closing of escrow. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that failure to close escrow resulting from a change in mortgage rates may be considered a breach of contract per the terms of the Agreement.

 

12. Cooperation with Closing Agent. Buyer agrees to promptly provide closing agent all information and documentation that either closing agent or the title insurance company is required to obtain by law, including any requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Buyer's failure to cooperate with or provide information to the closing agent or otherwise comply with U.S. Department of the Treasury requirements shall be a default.

 

13. Subsequent Payment of Initial Deposit. If Buyer has not already paid the Initial Deposit at the time Seller accepts the Agreement, Buyer will make the Initial Deposit within twenty-four (24) hours of when this Agreement is accepted by Seller ("Subsequent Payment"). When a Subsequent Payment is required, any provisions in the Agreement which state that an Initial Deposit has already been provided to or received by Seller are revised to state that Buyer has chosen a method of payment that will require Buyer to make a Subsequent Payment.

 

14. Debit/Credit Card Deposit. If Buyer makes the Initial Deposit using a credit or debit card ("Card Deposit"), Buyer will, upon Seller's request, provide the last 4-digits of the card to Seller and the title company conducting the Closing. At least one person that is a Buyer must be the cardholder. If the card deposit is a credit card deposit, it is subject to Seller's acceptance. Buyer must provide evidence to Buyer's lender no later than (10) business days prior to Closing that the credit card deposit has been paid off out of Buyer's own funds. Such evidence shall include, but is not limited to, credit card and bank statements.

 

15. Further Actions. Buyer and Seller will execute all instructions and documents required to correct any clerical errors or to effectuate the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16. Buyer Releases Seller from Damages Caused by Buyer Improvements and Alterations. Before Buyer installs any post-closing improvements to or on the Homesite including, but not limited to, pools, spas, planters, sidewalks, decks, patios, patio covers, room additions, sprinklers, landscaping, and other alterations (collectively "Buyer Improvements"), Buyer agrees to retain all appropriate professional consultants including a licensed architect and a civil, soil or structural engineer ("Buyer Improvement Experts") and to design and construct the Buyer Improvements in accordance with such experts' advice and specifications as well as all local building codes and processes. The Homesite was designed and constructed to support the residence and any Homesite improvements delivered with the residence (collectively, "Seller Delivered Improvements"), with the expectation that Buyer will consult such Buyer Improvement Experts before designing or constructing any Buyer Improvements. Even if Buyer takes such steps, Buyer should expect that Buyer Improvements may be damaged or cause damages to the Homesite and Seller Delivered Improvements, and may cause issues such as subsidence, earth movement, foundation cracks and failure, slab/foundation tilt, deflection, erosion, improper drainage, lateral fill extension, slope creep, corrosion, spalling, efflorescence, and water intrusion which can cause major damages to the Buyer Improvements, Seller Delivered Improvements, and Homesite.

 

Buyer assumes all risks relating to Buyer Improvements and releases and waives all deficiencies, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, awards, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including attorneys' fees and expenses ("Claims") against Seller and its affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants and agents of each of them ("Released Parties") arising from or in any way related to Buyer Improvements, including Claims for bodily injury, death, property damage, economic loss, and diminution in value including Claims that may not be anticipated at this time. To the extent such damages to the Seller Delivered Improvements or Homesite arise out of or relate to Buyer Improvements, any express warranties provided by Seller on the damaged components are void and released by Buyer unless such warranties are required by law and are not permitted to be modified or released.

 

17. Homesite Transfer Fee. Seller may, in its sole discretion, allow Buyer to instead purchase a different homesite by agreeing to revise the Purchase and Sale Agreement or enter into a new Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Seller agrees to such change in homesite, Buyer will be required to pay Seller a transfer fee in the amount of Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) ("Transfer Fee"). Buyer hereby agrees to pay such Transfer Fee to Seller upon Buyer's execution of such new documentation. Buyer understands that such Transfer Fee shall not be a part of the Deposit and the Transfer Fee shall be non-refundable (unless otherwise provided in any FHA/VA Addendum, if applicable).

 

18. Counterparts. This Rider B shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Rider B electronically to the other party.

 

19. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Rider B and the Agreement, this Rider B shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

20. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Rider B and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Rider B or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

BE INFORMED ADDENDUM

 

THIS BE INFORMED ADDENDUM (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated March 08, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat, in the Community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2.    Be Informed. Seller presents this Addendum to Buyer so that Buyer can become familiar with some important aspects of his/her Home and the specific components therein. Please read this Addendum carefully.

 

3.    Wood Floors. Wood is a natural product and will have variation in color, texture, uniformity, and grain. This absence of uniformity is what gives wood what is considered its natural beauty, and it is to be expected. If a uniform look is desired, wood should not be considered as a flooring option. Wood flooring or individual planks will not be replaced due to any variations in color, texture, uniformity, or grain.

 

 

o

Wood floors will scratch and indent. If you have pets you may want to carefully consider the use of hard wood floors in your Home.

 

o

Natural color change will occur during the aging process of your wood floor. This is called patina, and is an expected, even desired effect of natural wood.

 

o

High heels will cause severe indentations on hard wood floor. Any damage to wood floors caused by high heels will not be covered under your warranty.

 

o

Do not use Murphy's Oil Soap or any cleaning products without referring to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual.

 

o

Wood floors must be protected with plywood or another protective barrier whenever furniture or appliances are moved.

 

o

Standing water, steam, or excessive moisture of any kind will severely damage wood floors. Use special care when wood is installed in any kitchen, bath, or utility area. Do not damp-mop wood floors, as it can cause "cupping" and "peaking", or raising of sides or ends on planks.

 

o

The wood floors are not sanded on the job site. The wood floors are pre-finished and may result in "over boarding" (one plank being slightly higher than another). Flushness of +/- 1/32", the thickness of a credit card, is considered industry standard and to be expected.

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

  

3.1   Wood Floors - Maintenance and Care Instructions.

 

 

o

Wood floors require regular maintenance. Examples of regular maintenance include sweeping with a specialty terry cloth flooring mop or using the soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner regularly.

 

o

Use throw rugs both inside and outside each exterior doorway to prevent dirt, grit, and debris from being tracked in onto your hardwood floors. This will help prevent scratching.

 

o

Wipe up spills immediately. Refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual for approved surface cleaners (e.g., Mohawk Floor Care Essentials Hard Surface Cleaner) and instructions on proper cleaning techniques. Standing water will raise the grain of the wood and may permanently damage the wood's surface.

 

o

Use furniture pads on the feet of your furniture to help prevent scuffing and scratching. Do not slide or drag furniture across your hardwood floor. Pick up the furniture completely when moving.

 

o

If hardwood is installed in the kitchen, place an area rug in front of the kitchen sink and dishwasher.

 

o

Keep the temperature and humidity controls on year-round. All hardwood floors can be adversely affected by extreme changes in humidity and temperature. During hot, humid weather a de-humidifier may be required. Although engineered wood floors are less affected than solid wood floors, in the dry, heated winter months humidification may be necessary to prevent surface checking.

 

o

Do not wet mop a hardwood floor, this will raise the grain and may permanently damage the wood's surface. Refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual for approved cleaning products and proper cleaning techniques.

 

o

Do not wax or polish your hardwood floor.

 

o

Cleaner and a specialty terry cloth flooring mop available from your local Mohawk flooring store. See the store locator for a Mohawk dealer nearest you - http://www.mohawkflooring.com/my-mohawk/find-a-store.aspx.

 

o

For more information related to the maintenance and care of wood floors, refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual.

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, Buyer will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to your manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the wood floors.

4. Natural Wood Cabinets. Beautiful wood grain is not manufactured. As a product of many years of natural growth, variations in color and graining showcase the priceless handy work of nature. You will be more satisfied with your purchase if you can make educated decisions to get the best performance from your product. Please read over the following information. It describes factors that Seller and Seller's cabinet manufacturers cannot control and for which Seller cannot be held responsible.

 

4.1 Wood Characteristics: Color, Grain, and Markings. Natural variations in the wood will be present in all cabinetry, resulting in unique character markings on adjacent cabinets, on pairs of doors, and even within the same panel. Seller points out these unique characteristics of cabinets as a reminder that each piece of wood is different and the varied effect of finished cabinetry will be different from that represented by a sample or display. The variations can be broad; Seller is not responsible for the type or degree of variation in your cabinetry. A completely consistent look cannot be achieved with a finished natural wood.

 

 

o

The tree's sapwood (outer, living part) is often distinctly different in color from its heartwood (inner, dormant part).

 

o

Small pin knots and some larger knots can form during the tree's natural pruning process of eliminating adventitious buds and limbs.

 

o

Most woods have a uniform texture and are generally strait grained, but can also have "curly", "fiddle-back", "tiger-stripe", and/or "birds-eye" patterns. Any of these patterns can be expected in your product.

 

o

Certain soil factors can cause variation in wood color.

 

o

Other natural circumstances, including weather conditions or the intrusion of living things such as insects or vines can cause discolorations and wounds. The tree over time will heal itself and incorporate these features into the wood.

 

o

Maple sapwood is creamy white with a slight reddish brown tinge and the heartwood varies from light to dark reddish brown. The amount of darker brown heartwood can vary significantly according to growing region and will darken with age upon exposure to natural light.

 

o

Since natural events such as these are responsible for most of the inherent features or imprints found in wood, no tree will be completely free of them.

  

4.2   Finish Information. These latest techniques are designed to be hand-worked, making each piece look "one of a kind." When joining together many of these similar but "one of a kind pieces" to make up an entire kitchen, the intelligible variances of each component may be clear.

 

 

o  

Wash - Expect the wash application over the base finish to provide for uneven retention of the wash on the details on the front of your cabinet doors and drawers. This is referred to as "wash hang-up", and the degree of variation is based on the hardness and grain of the wood and is not intentional. Face frames will be washed if the cabinets are designated "full wipe". The molding accessories will have glazing applied to them; this includes flat panel ends and raised panel end.

 

 

o

Glaze - The inking procedure creates a dark or light profile outline of the various dimensions of the cabinet box, doors, and drawers. This attention to detail lends a mystic and striking decorative element to a finely crafted set of cabinets. The inking process is hand-created and is not stamped out by a machine, therefore, expect less than perfect uniformity of thickness of the profile.

 

 

Paint - The painted product is a full coverage product applied with highly specialized finishing equipment. Paint on wood and MDF surfaces has the potential to develop visible cracking around the jointed area of doors and face frames due to expansion and contraction. An open joint line is not considered a defect and is considered a natural occurrence in the cabinet industry. Sunlight, smoke, moisture, household cleaners and other environmental conditions may cause materials to vary from their original color and/or to warp, split or crack.

 

 

4.3 Veneers. The front of the cabinet boxes and the flat exposed ends are made using veneers. Wood and painted veneers will have variation as a result of nature, dye lot, exposure to light, and aging. Changes in humidity and temperature, improper care and maintenance, exposure to natural and artificial light, and other conditions will adversely affect the veneer, cause warpage, checking, cracking, fading, darkening or discoloration, and cause other unwanted conditions and is not warranted.

Oklahoma and Texas (05-OCT-22)

 

 

 

 

4.4 Care and Maintenance.

 

 

o

Wipe with a clean, soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Never use a dishcloth or sponge that might contain remnants of detergent or grease. To remove food residue or grease, use any common dishwashing liquid-not detergent-or solution of mild soap and water. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If a spill occurs, clean and dry immediately. Left unattended, a spill can soak through the wood surface and cause damage.

 

o

Do not use soap pads, steel wool, or cleaners that contain bleach, ammonia, or abrasives. These agents may cause discoloration, marring, or dulling of the finish. Do not wax or polish cabinet surfaces. Wax build-up will leave a residue that is difficult to remove. The extensive use of wax or silicone polishes can result in a film build-up which will destroy the cabinet's finish and void the warranty.

 

o

Excess moisture can damage the cabinet finish. Clean spills, water, or moisture from cabinets immediately. Give special attention to areas around the sink and dishwasher. Avoid draping damp or wet dishcloths over cabinet doors. Over time, this moisture can cause permanent damage to your cabinet finish. Water damage to cabinets is not covered under warranty.

  

4.5 Color Changes with Age. Even though the most chemically advanced screening products are used, exposing the cabinets to light, particularly sunlight, will cause the finish to yellow to some degree. Because this effect increases with time, Seller and Seller's cabinet manufactures cannot guarantee exact color matching for replacement parts ordered after the original job was installed.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  SIZES OF CABINET UNITS AND CABINET OPTIONS VARY PER PLAN.

Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re- select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the natural wood cabinets.

5. Carpet. Carpet is one of the most widely used floor coverings in residential homes. As with all floor coverings, there are characteristics of carpet that are important to know. While all of the carpets installed in Seller's homes have some level of stain protector no carpet is stain proof.

  

 

o

Seams are not invisible. Seams will be more visible in a lighter colored carpet than in a darker colored carpet, but all seams are visible to a certain extent.

 

o

All carpets show tracks. We offer some textured carpets that track "less," but none are "track proof."

 

o

Colors and shades do vary from one dye lot to another. Installed carpet will be noticeably different in color when compared to the Design Studio sample.

 

o

Many types of carpet will shed after installation for a short period of time. This "fuzz" is normal. Carpets should be vacuumed more often for the first 6 months until fuzzing disappears.

 

o

Use an upright vacuum cleaner with a beater bar for routine cleaning (at least twice a week under normal use).

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns; etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the carpet.

6. Berber Carpet. Berber style carpet requires different care and maintenance and has characteristics/benefits specific only to Berber carpet. Some of the characteristics are given below:

 

 

o

Seams are more apparent with Berber carpet and will show color variation at seams. Because Berber carpet is constructed in "loops" it does not "bloom" and cover seams like traditional carpet. The tighter the construction of the loop, the more visible the seam. In very tight loop Berber, seams will be as evident as those in upholstered furniture or clothing. This is considered industry standard, and is to be expected.

 

Page 3 of 8

Oklahoma and Texas (05-OCT-22)

 

 

 

 

 

o

Stains are more noticeable due to loop construction.

 

o

The backing of your carpet will show on stairs due to the row effect of your Berber. This is called "smiling."

 

o

You will have a firmer feeling under foot. You will not experience a cushy, spongy feel.

 

o

Berber is not recommended for homeowners with indoor pets. Berber does snag easily and can unravel. Sharp toys and high heels can also cause loop pulls.

 

o

You must raise your vacuum beater bar so it does not come in contact with the carpet.

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The "lines" in your Berber will not "line up" with the walls or other flooring surfaces in a perfectly perpendicular manner.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading, more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

  

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes.

7. Granite Countertop. Due to the fact that granite is a product of nature, the characteristics of a particular sample will not be uniformly present in other samples of the same color. A sample serves only to indicate, in a general way, the color, markings, and texture usually found in a block of granite. Because of the inherent characteristics, no two pieces of granite, such as sections of a kitchen countertop, will be identical. The Countertops or areas of the countertops will not be replaced due to color and/or texture variation within or between the pieces of your installation.

 

 

o

Because granite is natural and is quarried from the ground, it contains inherent weak spots, including but not limited to: (i) Hairline cracks (caused during the quarrying process); (ii) Fissures (natural clefts in the formation which are mistaken for cracks); (iii) Pits (small crystals that loosen and may fall out during polishing, leaving small voids in the surface); and (iv) Inclusions (areas of stone which do not look like the rest of the stone).

 

o

Any movement of cabinets, walls or general settling of your Home could cause any of these to open and/or become more noticeable.

 

o

The American Marble Institute deems it appropriate to repair any surface blemishes or cracks during the fabrication and installation process; it is Seller's practice to follow these guidelines.

 

o

Because granite is quarried from the ground, it is impossible to do seamless or seemingly seamless installations of countertops. Granite countertop seams can be seen and felt. Granite slabs are not always perfectly flat causing some seams to be uneven from front to back. Countertop seams will be flush +/- 1/32" (the thickness of a credit card).

 

o

Since granite is a quarried material, slab sizes are random. It is not possible to locate seams for a given plan in the same place from one house to the next. Seams will be placed where necessary based on kitchen layout and material constraints. This includes seams in the sink or cook top cutouts. The fabricator determines seam location for each installation. Seam location cannot be specified by the homebuyer, and cannot be changed after installation.

 

o

Being very porous, granite may absorb many types of liquids and will be prone to staining. All granite countertops installed will need to be sealed and re-sealed by Buyer on a yearly basis to help protect against staining.

 

o

The polished finish of granite is very durable; however, it can be scratched with other household items. The finish may be dulled with the application of various food acids such as citric acids, lactic (milk) acids, vegetable acids (like tomatoes), unapproved cleaning agents and general wear.

 

o

Oil based materials, such as cooking oils, are natural stone's worst enemy. Care should be taken when using oil-based materials and spills should be cleaned up immediately.

 

o

Support: 3cm granite will not have subdecking, and will rest directly on the cabinets or support walls. All overhang and cantilever areas will be braced with flat steel support strips underneath. Overhangs larger than 12" may require additional bracing and support as determined by the builder. Bracing will necessarily be visible.

 

o

Undermount sink walls will be flush with countertop cut-out within a variance of ¼" on any or all sides.

 

o

Group IV (Platinum Level) granites all contain extreme variation and cannot be controlled from slab to slab. When selecting one of these specialty granites know that the variation is random and countertops will not be changed or altered for any reason after installation.

8. Ceramic Tile/Grout. Ceramic or porcelain tile is an exceptionally durable floor and wall covering. It is a kiln- fired clay product, made with products courtesy of "Mother Nature". As with all fired products, there will be some variation in size and shade. This is an inherent quality of ceramic or porcelain tile and results in varying color and sizing from tile to tile. With modern technology, ceramic or porcelain tile can be made to mimic nature's variations. It seems the part of nature we enjoy the most is its beautiful, non-synthetic, imperfect perfection.

 

 

o

If different tiles sizes are used, it will cause "lipping" (one tile sticking out farther than the other) due to the different thickness of each material type. This should be considered when selecting a pinwheel pattern.

 

o

Lipping is also extremely prevalent when laying tile in a herringbone pattern in a large area especially in a room with large windows.

 

o

Tile will have dye lot variations, texture differences, or lack of uniformity in color. This is extremely apparent when combing two sizes of tile for example in a pinwheel pattern. Often tile sizes are made a different manufacturing plants and it is impossible to control or match the dye lots of the two sizes. This should be considered when selecting a pinwheel pattern.

 

o

Many factors determine tile layout and location of cut tiles, including but not limited to wall levelness, placement of finished edges, adjacencies, room/area size and shape, and pattern variables. Cut placement is at the discretion of the installer. Homeowners do not determine placement of tiles and cuts.

 

o

SELLER DOES NOT seal the grout to allow the material to fully cure.

 

o

Grout is extremely porous, and it will stain. Buyer may elect to seal your grout after closing, however a sealant will change the chemical compound of your grout, making the grout difficult to match in the event a future repair is needed. Keep in mind, a sealant will only temporarily protect your grout, and will need to be stripped and reapplied regularly per manufacturers' instructions.

 

o

The conglomerate nature of grout will cause grout colors to vary and also allows for expansion and contraction of grout joints. Some resulting grout cracks are normal.

 

o

The industry has established realistic guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc., in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious.

 

o

Grout lines using multiple tile sizes will also vary in thickness due to size differences between tiles. This look is considered "industry standard" and is to be expected.

 

o

Grout colors are subject to variation.

 

o

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are resistant to germs and bacteria and it is also among the easiest of flooring materials to clean. You can clean your porcelain tile with a damp sponge mop. A solution of 1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of water works best, allowing time for drying. You can also sweep or vacuum. Although the glaze of a tile is impervious, it is still possible for its surface to discolor from certain chemicals.

 

o

Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia-based cleaners may modify grout color and product stability.

 

o

Use a cleaner that is pH neutral. This ensures cleaning will not harm your grout or surrounding surfaces.

 

o

Do not use wax or oil-based cleaners.

 

o

Mandatory grout width with all tile is 3/16".

 

o

Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors. Tiles are scratch resistant but not scratch proof.

 

o

Do not use steel wool or other abrasive pads to remove tough debris or stains. Steel wool may scratch your tiles and loose steel particles may eventually create rust stains in the grout over time.

 

o

Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the floor prior to washing with water to prevent the tile from becoming muddy or leaving a residue after on textured surfaces sweep in multiple directions to ensure the removal of all foreign material that might be residing in the textured surface. For wall surfaces tile can be gently wiped down with a clean, dry cloth or rag.

 

o

Be careful with acidic foods, drinks and dyes as they may stain certain types of grout.

 

o

Prolonged use of bleach and ammonia-based products may cause the grout to become brittle over time and in wet applications may result in water damage due to cracking and deterioration.

   

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer's recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

9. Stone/Tile Medallions. Daltile medallions made with natural stone products inherently lack uniformity and are subject to variation in aesthetics (color, shade, finish, texture, etc.) and performance (hardness strength, slip resistance, absorbency, etc).

 

o

Irregularities in individual components of medallions are considered part of the material's beauty, and to be expected.

 

o

Many types of natural stone may contain areas of broken, open or dry seams, pits, chips, fossils, and glass veins that may or may notbe filled at the factory or during installation. This is to be expected.

 

o

Variance in height of individual tile and/or marble components is to be expected.

 

o

Finish, shine, texture, pattern, and shading may vary from one piece to another.

 

o

Field tiles and grout lines will not line up with medallion center or borders.

 

o

Medallions or their components will not be changed out due to these irregularities or any resulting fillings made during fabrication or installation.

  

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Medallions are placed in pre-determined locations per plan and will not be moved for any reason. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the stone/tile medallions.

10. Travertine. Travertine is a calcium-based stone. Travertine is generated by the deposit of calcium carbonate resulting from water springs and streams running through the stone. Every time a drop in pressure or change of temperature occurs, the water releases carbon dioxide as gas, much like carbonated beverages. This gas causes holes to form in the travertine. These natural pores are still going to be present once the blocks are cut into tiles. The amount of holes depends by how compact each travertine type is and it varies greatly by the type of travertine. The pores present in the tiles can be filled with a paste made of cement and pigments and/or grout. However, it is important to note that these void spaces are a distinctive character of travertine tiles and they are always going to be present.

 

10.1 Characteristics of Travertine. Travertine has extreme variation in shape, color, porosity, finish and texture. When choosing this product you recognize that the material in your Home will vary significantly from the samples shown. This quarried product with its unique, natural veining and impurities offers perhaps the most unique look available. Many of its characteristics are listed below.

 

 

o

Travertine is a product of nature. Minerals and fossilized impurities become part of the stone and add irregularities to its appearance. These are not defects in your travertine, they are inherent with natural stone.

 

o

Travertine is a porous material and for that reason the finish cannot be guaranteed. The stone is sealed with Aqua Mix Sealers Choice Gold, but to maintain resistance to absorbency, it should be resealed annually.

 

o

Veining will likely occur. This is a natural "weak" spot in the stone, and may crack.

 

o

Finish, shine, texture, pattern, and shading may vary from one piece to another.

 

o

Travertine is very porous and it will stain, scratch and etch.

 

o

Part of the natural beauty of travertine is that it has been broken by tumbling. Tumbled stones will have irregular edges, holes, and veining.

 

o

Travertine may have pits and fissures. Some of these may have a factory "fill" product applied, and some may remain open. Grout applied during installation may fill some or all open areas. Irregularity in this product and its application is to be expected, and is considered to add to the "old world" appearance of the stone.

 

o

Please understand the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture may be more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

o

Versailles pattern will appear differently based on angles and direction of the floor plan.

 

o

Filled portions of pits and pores will chip out with everyday wear and tear, especially in high traffic areas. This is not a defect in the stone or with the installation. It is to be expected. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller is not liable for warranty claims due to this issue.

10.2 Travertine Care and Maintenance. Proper care and maintenance of travertine is essential for durability, elegance and longevity. The following are cleaning guidelines to assist you with the care of your travertine floors. Travertine floors should be cleaned weekly in addition to regular dust mopping.

 

 

o

Dirt and dust can scratch the surface of travertine therefore regularly sweep floors with a broom made of soft material, vacuum or mop with a clean dry micro-fiber cloth. Use only vacuum cleaners fitted with a glider. Metal and plastic attachments in addition to the wheels can scratch the surface.

 

o

Travertine should be cleaned with neutral cleaners or mild soaps specifically designed for travertine and/or stone. These cleaners contain no acids or bleach and are concentrated neutral pH cleaners that will not affect existing sealers. A solution of the cleaner and water mixed to the manufacturers instructions should be applied to the travertine surface with a sponge or mop. After mopping the travertine surface clean any excess cleaner and/or liquid off with a clean damp micro-fiber cloth to remove any residue from the cleaner. Follow with a dry micro-fiber cloth. Make sure all excess moisture is cleaned up.

 

o

Avoid all abrasive cleaners and/or cleaning pads.

 

o

Clean any liquid spills as soon as possible to prevent damage to the travertine. Liquid spills allowed to stand will cause damage. Acidic substances such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, coffee, wine and juices will damage travertine causing staining and a dulled finish.

 

o

Protective padding on furniture legs and area rugs are recommended to prevent etching and scratching.

 

 

DO dust mop floors frequently                        

 

DON'T use vinegar or other acid cleaners 

 

 

 

 

 

DO clean floors with a neutral pH cleaner or stone cleaner

 

DON'T use abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads

 

 

 

 

 

DO thoroughly rinse and dry floors after mopping

 

DON'T use bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub/tile cleaners

 

 

 

 

 

DO blot up spills immediately

 

DON'T slide furniture or heavy items across floors

 

 

 

 

 

DO protect floors with non-slip mats or area rugs

 

DON'T use vacuum's that do not have a glider

 

 

 

 

 

DO squeegee or wipe shower walls to reduce

 

DON'T use bleach residue buildup

  

Travertine floors are an investment giving a beautifully unique look to any home. However due to the many unpredictable characteristics, in addition to daily care and maintenance much consideration should be given when selecting this product.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers' guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller's homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Travertine is a natural product with inherent shade and/or texture variations, natural seams and imperfections. Seller assumes no responsibility or liability for any labor or material claims made before or after closing due to any variations, inherent characteristics or improper care and maintenance of travertine.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the travertine.

ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL STONE FLOORS AND COUNTERTOPS

 

THIS ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL STONE FLOORS AND COUNTERTOPS (this "Addendum") is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, "Buyer") and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 3 of Block M, of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the "Community").

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Natural Stone Flooring and Countertops. Natural stones with varying colors and mineral compositions ("Stone") are found in quarries throughout the world. Stone including, without limitation, marble and granite, are therefore products of nature and vary in color, markings, shade, and texture. Buyer acknowledges that Stone is not uniform and that Seller can make no guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Stone to be used in the Home. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Stone to be used/installed in Buyer's Home:

 

2.1 Cleaning. Care should be exercised when cleaning Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Stone.

 

2.2 Natural Inconsistencies. Stone contains natural inconsistencies which will be present in Stone flooring and/or countertops in the Home; such natural inconsistencies are normal and are not defects.

 

2.3 Edges and Corners. There may be changes in the patterning of Stone from one edge or corner of the flooring or countertop to another edge or corner; such changes in patterning is normal and is not a defect.

 

2.4 Fissures and Pits. Stone may contain fissures and pits that occur naturally and may appear as a small hole or recess; such fissures and pits are not cracks or defects.

 

2.5 Spots, Freckles, and Rust. Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

2.6 Seams. Stone is almost never seamless due to the techniques employed to cut the slab of Stone in a way that preserves the maximum beauty of such Stone. Pieces of Stone must therefore be fitted together and the Stone used in the Home will not be seamless and may have visible seams, which are not defects.

 

2.7 Wallboard and Plaster. Stone is cut by machine to be straight. Irregularities occurring in the Home may mean that the installer has to force pieces of Stone into the wallboard or plaster during installation to compensate for the irregularities. Shims, caulking and putty may be used to fill imperfections in walls and floors in order to install Stone flooring and countertops. There may be such shims, caulking and/or putty in the Stone used in the Home, which shims, caulking and/or putty are used to enhance the installation and are not defects.

 

2.8 Staining. Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

2.9 Sink Cabinet. The cabinet directly under the sink shall be six (6) inches larger than the sink, as a sink of larger size will preclude natural adjustment of seams and edges of Stone countertop and may result in a deterioration of the Stone countertop.

 

3. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

4. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

5. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

Seller agrees to pay Cooperating Broker, at Closing, a commission in the amount of 3% of the Total Purchase Price, as that amount is determined by the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum, as amended from time to time ("PPPA") less Incentives (as defined below) and Seller Assistance (as defined below) (the "Commission"), subject however to the terms and conditions set forth below and in the Broker Participation Policy ("Participation Policy").  "Incentive" shall mean the total dollar value of all consideration, incentives, discounts, credits, reductions, gifts or other inducements offered or arranged by Seller, in connection with Buyer's purchase of the Home, including, without limitation, any: reduction or discount in the Total Purchase Price, Base Purchase Price, or the Homesite Premium; reduction in the cost of Options, Upgrades and/or Extras. "Seller Assistance" shall mean the total dollar value of all consideration, incentives, discounts, credits, reductions, gifts or other inducements offered or arranged by Seller, in connection with Buyer's purchase of the Home, including, without limitation credit for or contribution toward Closing Costs; payment of or contribution toward assessments or capital contributions charged by any homeowner's association or Seller; payment of or contribution toward homeowner's casualty or liability insurance, and/or lease payments; financing incentive such as payment of buy down fees to the Lender; and retail value of any gift to Buyer. As of the date hereof, the Commission is calculated as follows:

Add: Homesite Premium

 

$ 3,000.00

$ 236,805.00

 

 

 

The afore-mentioned Commission may be adjusted based on the final PPPA, and/or the terms and conditions of addenda related to Incentives and Seller Assistance, as the case may be. No Commission shall be payable by Seller unless Buyer consummates the purchase of the Home in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Purchase and Sale Agreement; accordingly, the Commission shall not be deemed earned unless and until the Closing occurs. Commission will be paid only to Cooperating Broker listed above directly and only if Cooperating Broker has

 

provided a valid Taxpayer Identification Number and federal tax classification. Cooperating Broker agrees that it shall look to Buyer for any other commission due to Cooperating Broker that is in excess of the Commission payable by Seller pursuant to this Agreement and for any commission due to any other real estate brokers or salesmen claiming to have represented Buyer in connection with the purchase of the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller agrees to pay any and all commissions due to Seller's New Home Consultants working in Seller's sales office.

3. Sales Associate of Cooperating Broker. By signing below, sales associate or designated agent of Cooperating Broker ("Sales Associate") agrees, on behalf of himself/herself and on behalf of Cooperating Broker, to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Sales Associate agrees that Seller's sole responsibility hereunder is to pay the Commission to Cooperating Broker in the manner described above. Any other amounts payable to Sales Associate and/or Cooperating Broker shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer, if provided for in a separate agreement between Cooperating Broker and Buyer. In addition, Sales Associate hereby personally represents and warrants that Sales Associate has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of Cooperating Broker and that such execution of this Agreement on behalf of Cooperating Broker has been duly authorized by all necessary and proper corporate action of Cooperating Broker.

 

4. Participation Policy. By signing this Agreement, Sales Associate acknowledges that Sales Associate has read and agrees, on behalf of such Sales Associate and Cooperating Broker, to comply with the terms and conditions in the Participation Policy set forth below. This Agreement shall be null and void if Seller determines, in its absolute discretion, at any time before Closing that Sales Associate and/or Cooperating Broker has/have violated the terms of the Participation Policy. The Participation Policy follows:

 

4.1 In order for Cooperating Broker to receive a commission in connection with the sale of real property in the Community, Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate must register a prospective buyer (the "Prospect") in person at the sales office for the Community (phone registrations will not be accepted). Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate must accompany the Prospect during Prospect's initial visit. If the tracking system used at the sales office for the Community indicates that the Prospect was initially introduced to the Community via the internet, and/or initially registered at the sales office without being accompanied by Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate, neither Cooperating Broker nor Sales Associate shall be entitled to receive a commission in connection with the sale of real property in the Community to such Prospect. This registration is effective for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of registration ("Registration Period"). Cooperating Broker may extend the Registration Period for an additional ninety (90) days by sending a written request (phone requests for an extension will not be accepted) to the sales office for the Community before the expiration of the initial Registration Period.

 

4.2 Cooperating Broker shall be entitled to receive the Commission, provided that the Prospect (i) is properly registered, (ii) contracts to purchase a home from the on-site sales staff in the Community ("NewHome Consultant") before the expiration of the Registration Period, and (iii) closes on the transaction pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event two or more brokers claim that they are entitled to a commission from having registered a Prospect, the cooperating broker who registers the Prospect last will be entitled to the commission. This registration, or any extension thereof, does not protect Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate from another broker or sales associate registering the same Prospect in the Community. Seller will pay the Commission to Cooperating Broker, provided that the terms and conditions contained herein are satisfied and except as otherwise set forth above relating to later-registering cooperating brokers. In all cases, Sales Associate agrees to look solely to Cooperating Broker for payment of any commission. By way of example, if Sales Associate terminates his/her employment with a registered Cooperating Broker who is entitled to a commission pursuant to this Participation Policy, then Sales Associate shall have no claim against Seller with respect to such commission.

 

4.3 Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate acknowledge that this Participation Policy, the registration forms, sign-up sheets and other incentives, contracts, or forms given to Prospects or buyers of homes are trade secrets of Seller. Cooperating Broker agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses of whatever nature or kind, including reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and costs relating to or arising out of any claim against Seller as a result of conduct or representations made by Cooperating Broker and/or Sales Associate. In the event that Seller must enforce or defend any of the terms and conditions of this Participation Policy, Seller shall be entitled to collect from Cooperating Broker reasonable attorneys' fees, paraprofessional fees and costs.

 

5. Cooperating Broker Status and Duties. Cooperating Broker hereby represents, warrants and covenants that Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate are licensed in the state in which the Home is located. Each of Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate will comply with all requirements of applicable law as a single agent (or transaction broker) in their representation of Buyer in the purchase of the Home and will assist the parties with communication, interposition, advisement, negotiation, contract terms and closing. At the written request of Seller, Sales Associate will provide a copy of Cooperating Broker's and/or Sales Associate's current and valid broker or sales associate license(s) to Seller or it designee.

 

6. Special Incentive. In addition to the Commission, Seller has agreed to provide Cooperating Broker the following additional special incentive at Closing: , which has a cash value of $.00("Special Incentive"). Seller's obligation to provide the Special Incentive to Cooperating Broker at Closing is conditioned on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Broker Agreement for the payment of the Commission to Cooperating Broker. Cooperating Broker acknowledges that total broker compensation cannot exceed 7% of the Total Purchase Price (as that term is defined in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum). Each bonus/incentive program is a separate program and will not be valid in conjunction with any other offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the Special Incentive at Closing with another incentive of equivalent cash value. If Seller determines, in its sole discretion, prior to Closing that Special Incentive is not permitted by applicable law, Seller's obligations with respect to the Special Incentive under this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect, and Seller shall have no obligation to provide any Special Incentive (or its cash equivalent) to Cooperating Broker at Closing. Cooperating Broker has acknowledged and agreed that Seller may provide, but shall have no obligation to provide, nominal incentives of no cash value to Cooperating Broker's sales associate or agent at Closing.

7. Acknowledgment by Broker. This document supersedes any previous registration form filed by the Cooperating Broker or any of its agents or employees with the Seller, its agents or employees. Violation by the Cooperating Broker of any provision of this document will constitute a breach of this document by the Cooperating Broker and will, at the Seller's election, void any obligation of the Seller to pay a commission or fee to the Cooperating Broker and will, at the Seller's election, entitle the Seller to whatever remedies it may have at law or in equity.

 

8. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by Texas law, without regard to its conflicts of law rules.

 

9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Agreement to the other party.

 

10. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Cooperating Broker Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other addenda and/or riders, this Cooperating Broker Agreement shall control. In all other respects, the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between Seller, Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate and shall not be altered, modified or amended unless such amendment is set forth in writing and signed by all parties to this Agreement.

Dear Homebuyer(s):

 

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Lennar Home.

 

As part of Lennar’s commitment to quality, value and integrity, your Home is covered by a limited one-year warranty on workmanship, a limited two-year warranty on systems and a limited 10-year warranty on structural elements (also known as the “Lennar Limited Warranty” or “Limited Warranty”).

 

The Lennar Limited Warranty is detailed in this document as to the scope of your Warranty coverage. Please take the time to become familiar with this Warranty document and read it in its entirety. It defines our responsibilities to you, and your responsibilities to your Home. Please keep in mind that the proper maintenance of your Home is vital, and if you do not perform the required maintenance on your Home on a regular basis, it can and will limit your Warranty rights.

 

While we are confident that Lennar can resolve any Warranty items to your satisfaction, you should be aware that this Limited Warranty includes a requirement that all disputes be submitted to binding arbitration.

 

Lennar is happy to answer any questions that you have about your Lennar Limited Warranty or specific construction standards and how they apply to your Home. However, please know that the content of this Warranty Booklet controls Lennar’s obligations to you and your Home to the extent that there may be any differences between the content of this document and your conversations with any of our Lennar Associates.

 

Congratulations again - and enjoy your new Home!

Express Limited Warranty: The “Lennar Limited Warranty”

Under the Lennar Limited Warranty, the seller of your Home (“Lennar”) commits that the components of your Home will perform to the standards listed in this Warranty Booklet. Specific components of your Home are covered for either one, two or ten years under the Lennar Limited Warranty, and Lennar’s obligations are expressly limited to those standards and for only those time periods as explained below. Please take the time to review the section titled “What Is Not Covered By The Lennar Limited Warranty” which lists those items excluded from the Lennar Limited Warranty. The Lennar Limited Warranty commences on the date of closing of the original purchase of the Home (the “Closing Date”). The protection periods provided below are referred to in the Lennar Limited Warranty as “Warranty Terms.”

 

Workmanship Protection for Year 1

For one year from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the components of the Home set forth in the Workmanship Standards found on pages 14 to 48 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Workmanship Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Workmanship Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a component is performing in accordance with the Workmanship Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and or replacements necessary to meet the Workmanship Standards. Please note that a limited number of items in the Workmanship Standards are subject to a one-time repair obligation.

 

Systems Protection for Years 1-2

For two years from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the components of the Home set forth in the Systems Standards found on pages 49 and 50 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Systems Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Systems Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a component is performing in accordance with the Systems Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and/or replacements necessary to meet the Systems Standards.

 

Structural Protection for Years 1 through 10

For ten years from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the structural components of the Home set forth in the Structural Components Standards found on page 51 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Structural Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Structural Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a structural component is performing in accordance with those Structural Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and/or replacements necessary to meet the Structural Standards and may, at its sole election, implement repairs in phases to determine if structural components can be stabilized as part of meeting its obligations under the Structural Standards.

 

Transferability

All of your rights and obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty shall, unless previously released by you or your successor, fully transfer to each successor owner of the Home, including any mortgagee in possession, for the remainder of the applicable Warranty Term and any transfer shall in no way affect, increase or reduce the coverage under the Lennar Limited Warranty for its unexpired term. If you sell your Home during the Warranty Term, you agree to give this Warranty Booklet to the successor owner to inform the successor owner of warranty rights and to otherwise make it possible for the successor owner to fulfill the successor owner’s obligations under the terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty. If you are an owner other than the original purchaser of the Home, you are bound by all the terms and conditions of the Lennar Limited Warranty including, but not limited to, claims procedures and the requirement to submit any disputes that may arise under the Lennar Limited Warranty to binding arbitration.

Requesting Lennar Limited Warranty Service

 

If you believe that a component of your Home is not performing to the Lennar Limited Warranty standards during the applicable Warranty Term, you must send the appropriate Notice of Workmanship/Systems Claim Form or Notice of Structural Claim Form (located at this back of this booklet)(“Notice of Claim”) to Lennar.

 

The Notice of Claim must list the specific warranty claim and the date that you first observed the condition that is the subject of the claim. You must notify Lennar of any observed component that you believe is not performing to Lennar Limited Warranty standards as soon as possible and in no event later than the date the applicable warranty expires, by sending the Notice of Claim to the appropriate Customer Care office.

 

We must receive your Notice of Claim not later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Workmanship, Systems or Structural Warranty expires or we will have no further obligation to you under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar is not responsible for repairs or any other costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and engineers’ fees) incurred by you prior to the date you give Lennar a Notice of Claim. In the event that you fail to notify us and give us the opportunity to inspect and repair the conditions giving rise your claim, Lennar will not be responsible for any repairs or any other costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and engineers’ fees) you incur to address the claim.

 

We will respond to a timely Notice of Workmanship or System Claim within thirty (30) days and complete any warranted repairs within sixty (60) days of receipt of your written Notice of Claim to us unless (i) you or other events beyond our reasonable control delay our completion (including a failure to allow prompt inspections of your Home), or (ii) the condition reasonably requires more than sixty (60) days to properly repair. If we determine that any of the Workmanship or Systems items you report to us are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty, we will endeavor to advise you in writing within thirty (30) days of our determination of no coverage.

 

Additional time may be required for us to assess structural claims and evaluate our response. As such, we will respond to any Notice of Structural Claim within (60) days of receipt of your written Notice of Structural Claim unless you or other events beyond our control delay our response (including a failure to allow prompt inspections of your Home).

Additional time may be required to investigate, design, implement and/or complete structural repairs beyond the

(60) days by which we commit to complete Workmanship/Systems repairs. If we determine that any of the Structural items you report to us are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty, we will endeavor to advise you in writing within (30) thirty days of our determination of no coverage.

 

Investigation of claims often requires inspection of the Home, and under certain circumstances, invasive testing might be needed. We may request additional documents or information from you, and you agree as part of the Lennar Limited Warranty to fully cooperate with the investigation of your claim. By submitting a Notice of Claim, you agree to grant Lennar and/or its representatives prompt and complete access to your Home during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to inspect, repair and conduct tests in your Home as we may deem necessary. If you refuse to allow us access to your Home, such denial of access shall void the Lennar Limited Warranty with respect to your claim.

 

Lennar reserves the option to repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost of repair or replacement for any warranted and covered claim. Prior to Lennar undertaking repairs, replacement or payment, you agree to assign to Lennar all claims you may have against any other person or entity who Lennar or you believe may have any responsibility associated with the warranted and covered claim.

 

If you believe that we have not met our obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty, you may seek resolution of any claim you may have pursuant to the mediation/arbitration provisions set forth in the following section of the Warranty Booklet.

Mediation/Arbitration Of Disputes

 

The terms “Buyer” and “Seller” as used in this section of your warranty shall have the same meaning as set forth in your Purchase and Sale Agreement. By purchasing a Lennar home and receiving this warranty, Buyer specifically agrees that this transaction involves interstate commerce and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. “Disputes” (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims

(1) arising under, or related to, your Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Property, the Community or any dealings between Buyer and Seller; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Seller or Seller’s representative; and (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer’s children or other occupants of the Property, or in the Community. Buyer has executed this Agreement on behalf of his or her children and other occupants of the Property with the intent that all such parties be bound hereby. Any Dispute shall be submitted for binding arbitration within a reasonable time after such Dispute has arisen. Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

Any and all mediations commenced by Buyer and Seller shall be filed with and administered by the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Home Construction Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the request. If there are no Home Construction Mediation Procedures currently in effect, then the AAA’s Construction Industry Mediation Rules in effect on the date of such request shall be utilized. Unless mutually waived in writing by the parties, submission to mediation is a condition precedent to either party taking further action with regard to any matter covered hereunder.

 

If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Home Construction Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the request. If there are no Home Construction Arbitration Rules currently in effect, then the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such request shall be utilized. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. Arbitrators shall have expertise in the area(s) of Dispute, which may include legal expertise if legal issues are involved. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). At the request of either Buyer or Seller, the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be accompanied by detailed written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Section shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. Buyer and Seller further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Seller’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Seller may, at its sole election, include Seller’s contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Buyer and Seller further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties.

Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each of Buyer and Seller shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer or Seller unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the noncontesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if Buyer or Seller fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award.

 

Buyer may obtain additional information concerning the rules of the AAA by visiting its website at www.adr.org or by writing the AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

 

Seller supports the principals set forth in the Consumer Due Process Protocol developed by the National Consumer Dispute Advisory Committee and agrees to the following:

 

Notwithstanding the requirements of arbitration stated in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the option, after pursuing mediation as provided herein, to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the court’s jurisdiction in lieu of proceeding to arbitration. This option does not apply to any appeal from a decision by a small claims court.

 

Seller agrees to pay for one (1) day of mediation (mediator fees plus any administrative fees relating to the mediation). Any mediator and associated administrative fees incurred thereafter shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

The filing fees and case service fees for any claim pursued via arbitration shall be apportioned as provided in the Home Construction Arbitration Rules of the AAA or other applicable rules. The fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Seller or Buyer seeks injunctive relief, and not monetary damages, from a court because irreparable damage or harm would otherwise be suffered by either party before mediation or arbitration could be conducted, such actions shall not be interpreted to indicate that either party has waived the right to mediate or arbitrate. The right to mediate and arbitrate should also not be considered waived by the filing of a counterclaim by either party once a claim for injunctive relief had been filed with a court.

Limitations On Lennar Limited Warranty

 

Homeowner Obligations. You are obligated to care for your Home in such a way as to prevent or minimize damage to it and to properly maintain the Home. You should be aware that all homes go through a period of settlement and movement. During this period, your Home or components of your Home may experience some material shrinkage, cracking and other events which are normal and customary. Remember that you are responsible for proper maintenance of your Home including maintaining the original grades around your Home, planting trees and shrubs at a proper distance from your Home and conforming to generally accepted landscape practices for your region. Changing the drainage and grading patterns or trapping water near your Home as a result of homeowner changes in grades and landscaping may cause damage to your foundation.

 

Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. Except as prohibited by laws of the state in which the Home is located, all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranty of habitability, are hereby expressly disclaimed and waived. The terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not be added to or varied either orally or in writing, and you agree to immediately notify Lennar if you believe any employee or agent of Lennar has added to or varied, either orally or in writing, the terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty. Such notification shall not be deemed as a modification of the agreement regardless of whether Lennar responds to the notice either verbally or in writing. In the event that any provision of the Lennar Limited Warranty is determined to be unenforceable in your state, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Lennar Limited Warranty.

 

Cap on Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar’s total financial obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty are limited to the original sales price of your Home. This cap is calculated based on the cumulative total of all repairs, replacements or payments made during the Lennar Limited Warranty. Our costs of designing, accomplishing and monitoring repair to your Home are included in this cumulate total.

 

Consequential Damages Not Covered. Lennar shall not be liable for, and you expressly waive recovery of, any consequential damages that may result from the condition of any component of the Home, including but limited to: any diminution in value of the Home before or after repairs are performed; lost profits; damages to personal property; any personal injury of any kind including physical or mental pain and suffering and emotional distress, and any medical or hospital expenses; costs of food, moving and storage, relocation expenses, or rental value of the Home or any other costs due to loss of use, inconvenience or annoyance during repairs. Lennar will, however, reimburse you for reasonable costs of temporary hotel accommodations and a reasonable daily food allowance for such period of time that the repairs required by the claim are so extensive that you cannot reasonably reside in the Home during the repairs.

 

Other Coverage. Lennar shall not be responsible for, and the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not cover, any damages, costs or expenses that are covered by your homeowners’ insurance or other insurance, government, or third party reimbursement programs. To the extent permitted by law, Buyer and Buyer’s insurance carrier waive any right of subrogation that Buyer or its insurance carrier may have in relation to any claim that may be made under this Warranty.

 

Not an Insurance Policy. The Lennar Limited Warranty is not an insurance policy and Lennar does not provide you any insurance through the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. You should always obtain homeowners’ insurance to protect your Home, and your bank or other mortgage provider may require homeowners’ insurance if you have a mortgage.

 

Discretion to Repair, Replace or Make Payment. Lennar reserves the option, at its sole discretion, to repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost of repair or replacement for any claim made under this Lennar Limited Warranty. The design method and manner of any repair shall also be at Lennar’s sole discretion.

 

Warranty Terms Not Extended. The warranty terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not be extended by any repair, replacement or payment made under the Lennar Limited Warranty. There shall be no warranty, express or implied, arising from repair or replacement work performed by or on behalf of Lennar except for the remaining original warranty term.

 

Limitations on Structural Repairs. Structural repairs are limited to only those (i) repairs of damage to load-bearing portions of your Home that are necessary to restore their load-bearing function; (ii) repair of those non-load bearing portions damaged by the condition that gives rise to the claim and whose repair is necessary to make your Home safe, sanitary or otherwise livable; and (iii) repair and cosmetic correction of only those surfaces, finishes and coverings, original to the Home, that were damaged by the condition giving rise to the claim or by the repair of the condition giving rise to the claim.

Limitations on Post-Repair Condition of Home. Repairs undertaken under the Lennar Limited Warranty are intended to restore the Home to approximately the same condition as existed prior to the claim, but not necessarily to like-new condition.

 

Previously Known Conditions. The Lennar Limited Warranty covers only those conditions which first occur during the term of the Lennar Limited Warranty. In addition, any conditions you knew about prior to the Effective Date of Lennar Limited Warranty such as items identified in the “walk-through,” “punch-list,” or in the case of a previously owned home, conditions that were identified on a home inspection report or were apparent through any reasonable inspection are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty.

Grading    

 

Performance Standard:

Settling around foundation walls, utility trenches or other filled areas that exceeds a maximum of six-inches from finished grade established by Builder is considered a deficiency.

 

Responsibility:

Builder shall take corrective action necessary to comply with the Standard. Builder’s responsibility is limited to a one-time repair during the Warranty Term. Homeowner is responsible for removal and replacement of shrubs and other landscaping affected by placement of the fill.

 

Exclusion:

Homeowner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ground cover. Landscape altered by the Homeowner voids the Warranty on settlement/grading.

 

 

 

Improper surface drainage     

 

Performance Standard:

Deficiency is limited to grades within 10 feet and swales within 20 feet of Home. Standing or ponding water that remains in these areas for a period longer than 24 hours after a normal rain is considered

a deficiency. In swales that drain from adjoining properties or where a sump pump discharges, water is not to remain in these areas for a period longer than 48 hours after a normal rain. The possibility of standing water after an unusually heavy rainfall should be anticipated and is not considered a deficiency. No grading determination is to be made while there is frost or snow or when the ground is saturated.

 

Responsibility:

Builder shall take corrective action necessary to comply with the Standard. Builder’s responsibility is limited to a one-time repair during the Warranty Term. Builder is only responsible for initially establishing the proper grades, swales and drainage away from the Home.

Responsibility:

Repair cracks as required so as not to be apparent when the finish flooring material is in place. Repair may include filling, grinding or use of a floor-leveling compound.

 

Exclusion:

Concrete slab-on-grade floors cannot be expected to be crack-free. Most cracking is minor and is the result of large areas of concrete shrinking as the concrete cures. These cracks do not affect the structural integrity of the Home. Since slab-on-grade floors are quite large, shrinkage cracks can be expected to occur randomly.

 

 

 

Cracks in concrete floor of unfinished area (no floor covering) or in areas not designed for living

 

No coverage.

 

 

 

Cracks in visible face of foundation

Separation or movement of concrete slabs within the structure at constructionand control joints

 

No coverage. Concrete slabs within the structure are designed to move at construction and control joints and are not deficiencies. The Homeowner is responsible for maintenance of joint material. Expansion joints are intentionally placed in some concrete surfaces to allow sections of concrete to expand and contract with changes in temperature, and control joints are intentionally placed in concrete to control cracking as concrete cures. Expansion and control joints often have inserted plastic barriers or have been grooved/notched during concrete placement and will have a tendency to move or crack in the joint area.

 

 

 

Concrete block or poured concrete basement wall is bowed or out of plumb

 

Performance Standard:

Basement walls that bow or are out of plumb greater than 1.5 inches per 8 feet when measured vertically on the wall are a deficiency.

1. Purchase and Sale. Buyer agrees to buy and Seller agrees to sell to Buyer (on the terms and conditions set forth below) Model Rosedale constructed or to be constructed on the following described property:

 

Lot 37 of Block H Section/Phase 4/              of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat of Hays County, Texas (the County”).

 

Address: 313 Mica Trail San Marcos TX 78656

 

The above described property is sometimes referred to herein as the “Homesite.” The Homesite and the residence and improvements constructed or to be constructed, including all appurtenances thereto, are sometimes collectively referred to in this Agreement as the “Home”. The Home is located within the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”).

 

2. Purchase Price and Payments. The total purchase price (“Total Purchase Price”) for the Home, exclusive of any Closing Costs as described below, is $283,590.00. Buyer (and not a third party) has made an earnest money deposit upon the signing of this Agreement (the “Initial Deposit”) of $5,000.00. Buyer shall make further payments to Seller, including but not limited to any “Additional Deposit” or “Advanced Payment” (consisting of non-refundable deposit(s) for options, extras, and upgrades) as set forth in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum attached hereto and made a part hereof. The term “Deposit” shall include the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit and Advanced Payment paid or to be paid.

 

2.1 All payments made by Buyer to Seller with respect to the Total Purchase Price (including but not limited to the Deposit) shall be paid to Seller for such purposes as Seller shall determine, and Seller shall not be required to maintain the payments in an escrow or trust account. Buyer shall have no right to interest upon the payments. If and to the extent such payments are deposited in any interest bearing account, then any interest on such payments shall inure to the benefit of Seller. At the time of Closing, the amount of the payments shall be credited to Buyer against the Total Purchase Price.

 

PROSPECTIVE BUYERS ARE ADVISED THAT THE DEPOSIT, DOWN PAYMENTS, AND OTHER ADVANCED MONEY WILL NOT BE PLACED IN A NEUTRAL ESCROW. THIS MONEY WILL BE PAID DIRECTLY TO SELLER AND MAY BE USED BY SELLER. THIS MEANS BUYER ASSUMES A RISK OF LOSING THE MONEY IF SELLER OR BUYER ARE UNABLE OR UNWILLING TO PERFORM UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

3. Builder’s Fee. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the purchase of the Home, Buyer shall pay to Seller a builder’s fee, equal to $1,221.00 (the “Builder’s Fee). The Builder’s Fee is imposed in connection with all home sales in the Community, regardless of whether Buyer finances the purchase of the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges that the Builder’s Fee may not be imposed on all home sales in the Community, and Seller reserves the right to change or withdraw the Builder’s Fee on subsequent home sales in the Community at any time prior to Seller’s completion of construction of all homes in the Community. The Builder’s Fee represents additional revenue and is intended to compensate Seller for various internal costs and expenses associated with the sales, promotion and/or development of the Community. This fee is due at Closing. The Builder’s Fee is separate from any and all Closing Costs (defined herein below). While the Builder’s Fee is payable, along with various other fees, costs and amounts at Closing, the Builder’s Fee is not a settlement fee associated with any loan that you may obtain to finance the purchase of the Home.

 

 
Page 1 of 11

 

 

4. Financing.

 

☐ NO CONTINGENCY. If this box is checked, this is a cash transaction and not contingent on financing. Buyer agrees to provide, within five (5) calendar days from the Buyer’s execution of this Agreement, financial statements or other written verification of Buyer’s ability to purchase the Home with cash. If Buyer does not (in Seller’s sole judgment, based on the documentation provided by Buyer to Seller) have the financial ability to purchase the Home with cash, then Seller may terminate this Agreement by refunding to Buyer any paid Deposit.

 

☒ MORTGAGE CONTINGENCY. If this box is checked, this Agreement is contingent on Buyer obtaining a loan commitment within thirty (30) days (the “Mortgage Contingency Period”) for a first mortgage loan from Lennar Mortgage, LLC (an affiliate of Seller), or another qualified institutional mortgage lender of Buyer’s choice (“Lender”), with interest, term and service charges at current market rates at time of Closing (as defined below) for a borrower of Buyer’s credit qualifications (the “Mortgage Contingency”). Buyer agrees to apply within five (5) calendar days from the execution of this Agreement for a loan at the then prevailing interest rate and terms. In the event Buyer chooses to obtain financing through a Lender other than Lennar Mortgage, LLC, Buyer agrees to promptly provide Seller, upon Seller’s request, with the name, address and phone number of such Lender, the loan officer and the loan processor. Buyer shall furnish promptly and accurately to Lender all information and documents requested by Lender in connection with such application. If Buyer properly makes and pursues the loan application as provided herein but is unable to obtain mortgage loan financing, despite Buyer’s good faith efforts to do so, and Buyer is not otherwise in default under this Agreement, and further provided that Buyer provides Seller with documentation from Lender that the loan has been declined, Buyer may cancel this Agreement by giving written notice to Seller within the Mortgage Contingency Period, in which event Seller shall refund any paid Deposit. If Buyer properly makes and pursues the loan application as provided herein but is unable to provide Seller with a copy of a written loan commitment reasonably satisfactory to Seller within the Mortgage Contingency Period, or if Buyer is at any time disapproved in writing by Lender for such loan (and Buyer does not cancel or withdraw his/her loan application), then Seller, at its sole discretion, may cancel this Agreement by written notice to Buyer, at Buyer’s last known address, in which event Seller shall refund any paid Deposit made by Buyer. If this Agreement provides for a VA guaranteed or FHA-insured loan, Buyer’s obligation to complete the purchase contemplated under this Agreement is subject to the VA/FHA Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

The following shall apply only if this Agreement is subject to the Mortgage Contingency, as indicated above:

 

4.1 Prequalification. Buyer may have obtained a “prequalification” from Lennar Mortgage, LLC for the purpose of determining Buyer’s ability to purchase the Property. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER IS NOT OBLIGATED TO USE LENNAR MORTGAGE, LLC TO OBTAIN FINANCING TO PURCHASE THE PROPERTY.

 

4.2 Mortgage Loan. Unless Buyer shall have otherwise notified Seller in writing within the Mortgage Contingency Period, Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have obtained the loan commitment or agreed to purchase the Home without mortgage financing, and the Mortgage Contingency shall be deemed to have been satisfied.

 

4.3 Application. Buyer understands that any loan application required under this Agreement must be fully completed in order to obtain the mortgage loan, and Buyer will make a good faith attempt to qualify for the mortgage loan. If Buyer has a spouse who does not constitute a Buyer under this Agreement, Buyer agrees to have his/her spouse sign the mortgage documents as required by Lender. BUYER AGREES TO INCUR NO DEBT SUBSEQUENT TO THE DATE HEREOF WHICH MIGHT JEOPARDIZE APPROVAL OF BUYER’S MORTGAGE LOAN. IF THE HOME IS BEING PURCHASED BY A CORPORATION, PARTNERSHIP, OR OTHER ENTITY, BUYER AGREES TO (1) OBTAIN ANY PERSONAL ENDORSEMENTS OR GUARANTEES REQUIRED BY LENDER AND (2) PROVIDE TO LENDER AND/OR THE TITLE INSURER PROMPTLY UPON REQUEST SUCH CERTIFICATES, RESOLUTIONS OR OTHER CORPORATE, PARTNERSHIP OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS AS MAY BE REQUIRED. Except as

 

provided in this Agreement, Buyer agrees to pay all loan fees and closing costs charged by Lender in connection with the mortgage loan. Buyer will pay any prepaid interest due on the mortgage loan at the time of Closing and any amount Lender may require to be put into escrow toward the payment of property taxes and insurance on the Home. Buyer will also pay any mortgage insurance premiums (prepaid or otherwise), if required by Lender.

 

4.4 Commitment Rate and Terms. Buyer understands that the rate of interest on the mortgage is established by Lender and not by Seller and that any predictions or representations of present or future interest rate that may have been contained in any advertising or promotion by Seller are not binding. If Buyer obtains a written mortgage loan commitment and the mortgage loan commitment is subsequently withdrawn through no fault of Seller including, but not limited to, any condition to such loan commitment not being satisfied for any reason (other than failure of the Home to appraise equal to or greater than the Total Purchase Price), this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have agreed to purchase the Home without mortgage financing. Buyer agrees that it will make no changes to its mortgage financing arrangement within the last thirty (30) days before Closing.

 

4.5 Appraisal. If the Lender’s appraiser appraises the value of the Home for less than the Total Purchase Price, Buyer shall notify Seller, in writing, of such fact within three (3) calendar days from the receipt of the written appraisal. Seller shall then have the option, but not the obligation, in Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, to: (i) allow Buyer to pay the difference between the mortgage loan proceeds and the amounts required to close the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and proceed to Closing (the “Additional Cash to Close Funds”); or (ii) lower the Total Purchase Price to the appraised value and Buyer shall proceed to Closing. Under no circumstances shall Buyer be excused from performance under this Agreement as a result of Lender’s appraisal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement provides for a VA guaranteed or FHA insured loan, the applicable appraisal requirements are set forth in the FHA/VA Addendum attached hereto and incorporated herein.

 

4.6 Sale of Other Residence. Buyer represents and warrants that this Agreement and the mortgage loan referenced herein, unless otherwise provided, are not and will not be subject to or contingent upon Buyer’s selling and/or closing on the sale of Buyer’s present residence or other property. Failure to close on the purchase of the Home will constitute a default by Buyer and the remedies available to Seller for Buyer’s default under this Agreement shall apply.

5. Funds. Buyer shall remit to Seller the Initial Deposit, Additional Deposit, and Advance Payment by check, cashier’s check, or wire transfer. Buyer acknowledges that Seller shall have the right to deposit such check for the Initial Deposit without such action being deemed acceptance of this Agreement. If any such check is not paid by the bank after acceptance of this Agreement, Seller shall have the option to cancel this Agreement and declare Buyer in default. If Buyer provides any check for a Deposit in the form of Canadian currency (a “C$ check”), Seller’s depository bank will convert such C$ check into a U.S. dollar amount using its currency procedures and exchange rate then in effect two (2) business days following the date of processing (the “Conversion Date”) and the amount of the Deposit to be applied toward the Total Purchase Price shall be equal to the amount received by Seller from the depository bank on the Conversion Date. Seller reserves the right to charge or pass through any currency conversion-related fees or costs to the Buyer at Closing (as hereafter defined). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the balance of the Total Purchase Price plus all applicable Closing Costs (the “Closing Proceeds”) shall be paid to Seller at Closing. Any funds paid by Buyer under the terms of this Agreement to Seller, including funds paid through a check or cashier’s check are accepted by Seller subject to collection.

 

UNLESS A WRITTEN REQUEST FOR PAYMENT BY CASHIER’S CHECK IS RECEIVED AND APPROVED BY SELLER NOT LESS THAN FIVE (5) BUSINESS DAYS PRIOR TO CLOSING, BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT CLOSING PROCEEDS MUST BE BY FEDERAL WIRE TRANSFER IN IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FUNDS. BUYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL BANK OR WIRE TRANSFER CHARGES AND CURRENCY EXCHANGE FEES. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS HEREIN, IF ANY DEPOSIT AND/OR CLOSING PROCEEDS ARE NOT TIMELY

PAID, BUYER SHALL BE IN DEFAULT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Seller approves Buyer’s written request to deliver a cashier’s check and thereafter Buyer delivers all or any portion of the Closing Proceeds in the form of a cashier’s check exceeding

$25,000.00, then Buyer will not be entitled to possession of the Home until the Closing Proceeds have cleared.

 

6. Credit Information Authorization. Buyer authorizes Lender to whom Buyer has applied or is in the process of applying for a mortgage loan in connection with this transaction to disclose to Seller the information contained in any loan application, verification of deposit, income and employment, and credit reports or credit related documentation on Buyer. Buyer authorizes Seller to order one or more credit reports from a consumer reporting agency to be used in connection with this transaction. The cost of said report(s) is (are) to be paid by Buyer. Buyer authorizes Seller to forward all copies of all or any portion of such report(s) without interpretation to Lender who (at the request of Buyer) will evaluate a potential extension of credit to Buyer in connection with this transaction. Buyer authorizes Lender, and any credit bureau or other person or entity utilized or engaged by Lender, to obtain one or more consumer reports regarding Buyer and to investigate any information, reference, statement, or data, provided to Lender by Buyer or by any other person or entity, pertaining to Buyer’s credit and financial status. Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Seller, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, agents, contractors, subcontractors and suppliers (“Indemnified Parties”), Lender, and any credit bureau or other person or entity utilized or engaged by Lender or Seller, from and against any deficiencies, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, awards, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees and expenses (“Claims”) arising from an investigation of Buyer’s credit and financial status.

 

7. Closing. Subject to Section 8, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller has the right in its sole discretion to schedule the date, time and place for the closing of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement (“Closing”) and Buyer shall close on such Closing Date (the “Closing Date”). Buyer will be given notice of the Closing at least thirty (30) days prior to the Closing Date (the “Closing Date Notice Period”). Seller is authorized to postpone or advance the date of Closing at its discretion. Seller must, however, give Buyer reasonable notice of the new Closing Date. Any notice of Closing may be given verbally, by telephone, telegraph, telex, facsimile, mail, e-mail, or other means of communication at Seller’s option. All notices of Closing will be given to Buyer at the address or by use of the telephone number(s) or e-mail address(es) specified on page 1 of this Agreement unless Seller has received written notice from Buyer of any change therein prior to the date notice of Closing is given. Buyer’s failure to receive the notice of Closing because Buyer has failed to advise Seller of any changes of address or phone number, or because Buyer has failed to pick up a letter when Buyer has been advised of an attempted delivery or for any other reason, shall not relieve Buyer of Buyer’s obligation to close on the scheduled Closing Date, unless Seller otherwise agrees in writing to postpone the Closing Date. If Buyer fails, for any reason, to close at the date, time and place specified by Seller, Seller shall have the option to declare Buyer in default and seek the remedies stated below, or to charge Buyer $100 per day for each day after the date of Closing specified by Seller until, and including, the actual Closing Date, and Seller may require that prorations be made as of the original Closing Date. This sum shall be due and payable in full at Closing. If Seller agrees to an extension of the date of Closing beyond the last day of the month for which Closing is originally set, an additional amount equal to Two Percent (2%) of the Total Purchase Priceshall be payable to Seller. The sum for extending the date of Closing beyond the last day of the month shall be due and payable in full at the Closing. Buyer agrees that the late charges are appropriate in order to cover Seller’s administrative and other expenses resulting from a delay in Closing and that the amount of liquidated damages is fixed and agreed to by the parties as a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller shall suffer and is not in the nature of a penalty. Seller is not required to agree to reschedule Closing, but Seller may reschedule Closing in Seller’s sole discretion. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 4 above, if the Mortgage Contingency box is checked above, Seller will agree to postpone Closing and not impose late charges to the extent such postponement is required in order for Buyer’s Lender to meet any pre-closing waiting period required as the result of Buyer’s Lender’s issuance of revised closing disclosures under 12 C.F.R. § 1026.19(f)(2)(ii) of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s TILA-RESPA Integrated Disclosure Rule when such revisions directly result from a Seller action taken within six (6) calendar days of the Closing Date. However, in such event, Seller shall have no liability to the Buyer for failure to deliver the Home on the originally scheduled Closing Date.

 

8. Completion Date. Seller is obligated to complete and does agree that the construction of the Home shall be completed not later than two (2) years from the date of Buyer’s execution of this Agreement (“Outside Date”), subject only to delays caused by matters recognized by the laws of the state in which the Home is located as a defense to a contract action for non-performance or a delay in performance. As an accommodation to the Buyer, Seller has provided an estimated completion date that occurs prior to the Outside Date. It is expressly agreed by Buyer that notwithstanding anything to the contrary specified herein or verbally represented (including but not limited to Seller’s sales representative), any estimated completion date is a good faith estimate only. Seller cannot guarantee that completion will occur before the Outside Date, but will endeavor to substantially complete the Home by the estimated completion date. Buyer agrees that Buyer has not relied, and will not rely upon, any estimated completion date for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, relocation of residence, storage of personal property, or lock-in financing, and Buyer agrees that Seller shall not be liable for any additional costs, expenses, or damages whatsoever should the Home not be completed by the estimated completion date. It is the express intent of the parties that the rights and obligations under this Agreement be construed in the manner necessary to exempt this Agreement and the sale of the Home from registration under the Interstate Land Sales Full Disclosure Act, and both Buyer and Seller hereby expressly waive any right or provision of this Agreement that would otherwise preclude such exemption.

9. Casualty Before Closing. If the Home is damaged by fire, vandalism, act of terrorism or other casualty or condition before Closing and the cost of restoration does not exceed three percent (3%) of the Total Purchase Price and repairs will not substantially delay Closing, Seller shall repair the damage and Closing shall proceed pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Buyer agrees that, if the casualty or condition occurs during construction, that Seller is only obligated to restore or repair the affected part of the Home to as-new condition and that Seller is under no obligation to disclose to Buyer the fact of repair or restoration or the casualty or condition that necessitated the repair or restoration. If the cost of restoration exceeds three percent (3%) of the Total Purchase Price or the repairs would substantially delay Closing, Buyer shall have the option to: (1) terminate this Agreement and receive a refund of the Deposit made by Buyer to Seller, in which event both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement, or (2) have Seller repair the damage as soon as reasonably possible, and Closing shall be extended until such repair or rebuilding is complete.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all or a portion of the Home is damaged by fire, vandalism, act of terrorism or other casualty or condition and the repair or reconstruction of the Home substantially in accordance with the pre-existing plans and specifications is rendered impossible by any cause recognized by the law of the state in which the Home is located as a defense to a contract action for non-performance, then Seller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and Buyer shall receive a refund of the Deposit made by Buyer to Seller in which event both parties shall be released from all obligations under this Agreement.

 

10. Deed. Seller shall convey title to Buyer at Closing by delivery to Buyer of a Special Warranty Deed (the “Deed”) describing the Home, which Deed shall convey title to Buyer subject to all matters described in this Agreement. The Deed shall be recorded and shall include, without limitation, provisions requiring that any dispute be submitted to alternative dispute resolution.

 

11. Closing and Title Matters. Title to the Home to be delivered to Buyer at Closing will be marketable and insurable, subject only to the following matters:

 

11.1 Closing Costs. BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT IN ADDITION TO THE TOTAL CASH TO CLOSE (WHICH AMOUNT IS SPECIFIED IN SECTION 2 OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT ADDENDUM), BUYER SHALL PAY CERTAIN OTHER FEES AND CLOSING COSTS, IF ANY, AT CLOSING. IN CONNECTION THEREWITH, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE ITEMS LISTED BELOW WILL COLLECTIVELY BE REFERRED TO AS “CLOSING COSTS.” NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN THE CASE OF AN FHA/VA OR FANNIE MAE LOAN, BUYER SHALL NOT PAY FOR ANY COSTS PROHIBITED BY HUD (FHA), VA OR FANNIE MAE REGULATIONS. ALL REFERENCES TO “PRO RATA SHARES” WILL BE DEEMED A TIME PRO RATION, BASED ON THE DATE OF CLOSING, WITH BUYER PAYING AMOUNTS ACCRUED ON AND AFTER THE DATE OF CLOSING. The Closing Costs include, but may not be limited to:

 

11.1.1 The premium for a policy of mortgagees’ title insurance, any real property transfer taxes in connection with the transfer of the Home, the cost of the documentary stamp taxes or other taxes on the Deed, and the cost to record the Deed. Should the settlement charges that VA does not allow Buyer to pay exceed the amount, if any, to be paid by Seller, Seller at its sole discretion may terminate this Agreement and refund Buyer’s earnest money. Should the settlement charges that FHA does not allow Buyer to pay exceed the amount, if any, to be paid by Seller, Buyer may either pay the additional settlement charges or the interest rate on the loan will increase to an interest rate attainable with the settlement charges to be paid by Seller. In the event that Buyer decides to lock in the interest rate and points prior to closing, Buyer agrees to pay the difference between the market rate and the lock-in rate as of the date that the loan rate is locked.

 

11.1.2 Customary closing costs of a Buyer of a single family residence, including but not limited to items such as loan fees, loan closing costs and all other related sums, attorneys’ fees, escrows for taxes and insurance, recording fees, documentary stamp taxes on the note, intangible taxes, credit reports and PMI insurance, if applicable, charged by the Lender or otherwise customary for a Buyer at Closing.

 

11.1.3 Document preparation fee, delivery charges, Closing fee and any other Closing expenses of Buyer.

 

11.1.4 All additional costs respecting the Home imposed by any governmental authority.

 

11.1.5 The cost of any obligations Buyer incurs not provided for in this Agreement.

 

11.1.6 The cost of a survey of the Home.

 

11.1.7 Current expenses of the Home (for example: taxes, special assessments and current monthly assessments to one or more homeowner’s associations) will be adjusted between Seller and Buyer as of the Closing date. Buyer shall reimburse Seller for any prepaid expenses of the Home such as utility deposits, insurance premiums, local interim service fees, cable fees, assessments and capital contributions made to one or more homeowners’ associations, paid by Seller in advance and/or for the month in which the Closing date occurs.

 

11.1.8 If real estate taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs are assessed in the aggregate on the real estate comprising the portion of the Community (including the Home) rather than on a homesite-by-homesite basis, Seller will pay such taxes in full when due, but Buyer will reimburse Seller at the Closing for Buyer’s pro rata share of such taxes from the Closing date (if such taxes are then known) or the Home’s allocable share (so prorated) of Seller’s estimate of those taxes (if such taxes are not then known), subject to readjustment at either the request of Seller or Buyer within six (6) months from when the actual tax bill is known. If taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs are assessed on a homesite-by-homesite basis but such taxes are not due on the Closing date, Buyer will be responsible for paying such tax bill in full when due but Seller will reimburse Buyer at the Closing for Seller’s pro rata share of such taxes (if the taxes are then known) or Seller’s estimate of those taxes (if such taxes are not then known) through the Closing date, subject to readjustment at either the request of Seller or Buyer within six (6) months from when the actual bill is known. If the Closing takes place after Seller has paid the taxes for the year in which the Closing date occurs, Buyer will reimburse Seller at the Closing for Buyer’s pro rata share of those taxes from and after the Closing date.

11.1.9 The cost of any modifications or changes which are incurred by Seller as a result of changes in building codes, governmental rules, regulations or requirements, or the enforcement of any of the same, after the Effective Date of this Agreement, shall be paid by Buyer at the time of Closing.

 

11.1.10 Any fees resulting from or associated with an offsite closing, or an accelerated or expedited closing, if such fees are incurred as a result of any action or inaction of Buyer.

 

11.2 Title Insurance. Buyer is instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer’s cost, an abstract of title for the Home and to have an attorney review it before Closing. Buyer is also instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer’s cost, an owner’s title policy from any title company of Buyer’s choice. If Buyer desires, Buyer may use the title company customarily used by Seller, but it is ultimately Buyer’s choice. Please review this Agreement and the Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement for additional provisions related to this topic.

 

11.3 Title to the Home shall be subject to the following: (1) zoning, building codes, bulkhead laws, ordinances, regulations, rights or interests vested in the United States of America or the state in which the Community is located; (2) real estate taxes and other taxes for the year of conveyance and subsequent years including taxes or assessments of any special taxing or community development district (including assessments relating to capital improvements and bonds); (3) the general printed exceptions contained in an owner’s title insurance policy; (4) utility easements, sewer agreements, telephone agreements, cable agreements, telecommunications agreements, monitoring agreements, restrictions and reservations common to any plat affecting title to the Home; (5) matters that would be disclosed by an accurate survey or inspection of the Home; (6) this Agreement, including all addenda; (7) any laws and restrictions, covenants, conditions, limitations, reservations, agreements or easements recorded in the public records for the County (for example, use limitations and obligations, easements (right- of-way) and agreements relating to telephone, gas or electric lines, water and sewer lines and drainage, provided they do not prevent use of the Home for single family residential purposes); (8) minor encroachments on easements that do not substantially interfere with an easement holder’s interest in the Home; and (9) acts done or suffered by Buyer and any mortgage or deed of trust obtained by Buyer for the purchase of the Home. It is Buyer’s responsibility to review and become familiar with each of the foregoing title matters, some of which are covenants running with the land. If any title defects are discovered by Buyer after Closing, Buyer’s sole remedy shall be to make a claim to Buyer’s title insurer.

 

11.4 Seller shall convey title to Buyer at Closing by delivery to Buyer of the Deed, which shall convey title to Buyer subject to all matters described in this Agreement. Any such matters omitted from the Deed shall nevertheless be deemed to be included in the Deed.

 

11.5 Seller shall provide an affidavit complying with the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980, as amended, upon written request of Buyer.

 

11.6 Seller may not own title to the Home as of the date of this Agreement or at Closing. However, Seller shall obtain title to the Home on or before the Closing Date or effect the necessary transfer of title on or before the date when Seller causes title to be transferred to Buyer.

 

11.7 If Seller cannot provide marketable and insurable title as described above, such failure shall not be an event of default and Seller will have a reasonable period of time (at least one hundred and twenty (120) days from the date of the scheduled Closing Date) to attempt to correct any defects in title; provided, however, Seller shall not be obligated to incur any expense, nor institute any litigation, to clear title to the Home. If Seller cannot or elects not to correct the title defects, Seller shall so notify Buyer within such period, and Buyer may thereafter elect (by written notice from Buyer to Seller) one of the following two (2) options: (1) to accept title in the condition offered (with defects) and pay the balance of the Total Purchase Price for the Home (without set off or deduction therefor), thereby waiving any claim with respect to such title defects and Buyer will not make any claims against Seller because of the title defects; or (2) to terminate this Agreement and receive a full refund of the Deposit deposited hereunder. If all such amounts are refunded, Buyer agrees to accept it as full payment of Seller’s liability hereunder, whereupon this Agreement shall be terminated and Seller shall thereafter be relieved and released of all further liability hereunder. Buyer shall not thereafter have any rights to make any additional claims against Seller. In the event Buyer does not notify Seller in writing within five (5) calendar days from the receipt of Seller’s notice (time being strictly of the essence) as to which option Buyer elects, Buyer shall be conclusively presumed to have elected option (1) set forth above in this subsection.

 

11.8 The acceptance of the Deed by Buyer shall be deemed to be full performance and discharge of every agreement and obligation on the part of Seller to be performed pursuant to this Agreement.

 

11.9 Title to the Home will be deemed marketable if an owner’s policy is issued with standard exceptions.

 

12. Site, Selections and Substitutions. The materials, equipment and fixtures included in and to be used in constructing the Home will be substantially the same as or similar in quality to those described in the applicable plans and specifications (except as to extras, options and/or upgrades).

 

12.1 Lot Change. In the event that Seller, in its sole discretion, determines that the model of the house selected under this Agreement cannot reasonably be built on the Homesite, then Buyer and Seller hereby agree that they will negotiate in good faith to relocate the Home to another lot in the Community, provided however that there are lots available for sale. If no replacement lot is available, then Buyer may terminate this Agreement within fourteen (14) days of notice that a replacement lot is unavailable and will be entitled to a refund of any paid Deposit.

 

 
Page 5 of 11

 

 

12.2 Decorative and Landscaping Items. Buyer understands and agrees that certain of the finishing items, such as tile, marble, carpet, cabinets, stone, brickwork, wood, paint, stain and mica are subject to size and color variations, grain and quality variations, and may vary in accordance with price, availability and changes by manufacturers from those shown in the model, if any, or in illustrations or brochures or those included in the specifications. Furthermore, Seller has the right, without notice to Buyer, to substitute materials or equipment of comparable quality, utility or color as the Seller might deem appropriate. Without limiting the Seller’s ability to exercise this right, Seller may exercise this right, in its sole discretion and option whenever Seller shall determine it is necessary or expedient to do so.

 

13. Buyer’s Default. In the event of Buyer’s default and to the extent allowed by law, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and keep, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, Buyer’s Initial Deposit and Additional Deposit not to exceed fifteen percent (15%) of the Total Purchase Price, except that Seller may, in addition, keep, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, 100 percent (100%) of the Advanced Payments made by Buyer to Seller for options, extras or upgrades for which Seller has made contractual commitments or incurred liability by placing orders or otherwise. Buyer agrees that actual damages in the event of breach by Buyer would be costly and difficult to calculate and that such liquidated damages are a fair and reasonable remedy and shall not be considered a penalty.

 

14. Seller’s Default. In the event of Seller’s default and to the extent allowed by law, Buyer may recover actual damages only and shall be not entitled to special, consequential or punitive damages, all of which the right to recover or claim Buyer hereby expressly waives. Buyer and Seller expressly agree that actual damages shall not include and shall not be interpreted to include, in any way, any attorneys’ fees or costs or expert/consultant fees or costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer retains all remedies at law and in equity with respect to Seller’s obligation to complete the Home within two (2) years as set forth in this Agreement.

 

15. Mediation / Arbitration of Disputes.

 

15.1 Dispute Resolution. The parties to this Agreement specifically agree that it is their desire to efficiently and quickly resolve any disputes that arise, that this transaction involves interstate commerce, and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. “Disputes” (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims: (1) arising under, or related to, this Agreement, the Home, the Community or any dealings between Buyer and Seller; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Seller or Seller’s representative; (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer’s children or other occupants of the Home, or in the Community; or (4) relating to issues of formation, validity or enforceability of this Section.

 

15.2 Mediation. If the parties are unable to agree to a mediator, the parties will utilize the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for this role. The parties expressly agree that the mediator’s charges shall be equally shared and that each party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees and consultant fees incurred in connection with the mediation.

 

15.3 Arbitration. If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules. In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Disputes would be barred by the applicable statute(s) of limitations, which such statute(s) of limitations the parties expressly agree apply to any Disputes. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on both parties. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the non-contesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if a party fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award.

 

15.4 BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING (WHICHEVER MAY APPLY) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN TWO YEARS AND ONE DAY FROM THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, SO THAT IF THE LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN THAT STATED PERIOD, THE DISPUTE IS BARRED AND WAIVED. FOR ARBITRATION PURPOSES, A CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL ACCRUE AS PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE FOR THE INSTITUTION OF A LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDING; AND IF THERE IS NO APPLICABLE STATUTE, THEN THE CAUSE OF ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE BUYER’S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, ACCRUES ON DISCOVERY OF THE INJURY.

 

 
Page 6 of 11

 

 

15.5 To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Buyer and Seller further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties and then only as between those parties.

 

15.6 The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Section shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. Buyer and Seller further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Seller’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Seller may, at its sole election, include Seller’s contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer or surety as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

15.7 BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT THE PARTIES MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS REGARDING MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT BE AWARDED ON CLASS-WIDE OR MASS-PARTY BASIS OR OTHERWISE AFFECT PARTIES WHO ARE NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. NOTHING IN THE FOREGOING PREVENTS SELLER FROM EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN THE MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION THOSE PERSONS OR ENTITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE.

 

15.8 Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

Buyer and Seller specifically consent to arbitrate in accordance with this entire Section 15 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the parties’ obligation to submit any Dispute to mediation and arbitration, in the event that a particular dispute is not subject to the mediation or the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, then the parties agree to the following provisions: BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT JUSTICE WILL BEST BE SERVED IF ISSUES REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT ARE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING, AND NOT A JURY. BUYER AND SELLER AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND NOT A JURY. BUYER AND SELLER HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. SELLER HEREBY SUGGESTS THAT BUYER CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OF BUYER’S CHOICE IF BUYER DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXECUTING THIS

 

AGREEMENT.For any Dispute that involves a claimed amount of less than $10,000, the parties may agree to litigate the Dispute before a judge in a court of small claims; however, any appeal of the judgment rendered in the small claims court will be subject to the mediation and arbitration provisions set forth in this Section.

 

17. Deed Restriction. The alternative dispute provisions above shall be set forth in the Deed and shall be binding upon Seller, Buyer, and all subsequent grantees, purchasers, successors and assigns as covenants and restrictions running with the land.

 

18. Construction Activities. ALL OWNERS, OCCUPANTS AND USERS OF THE COMMUNITY ARE HEREBY PLACED ON NOTICE THAT (1) SELLER AND/OR ITS AGENTS, CONTRACTORS, SUBCONTRACTORS, LICENSEES AND OTHER DESIGNEES, AND/OR (2) ANY OTHER PARTIES, WILL BE, FROM TIME TO TIME, CONDUCTING BLASTING, EXCAVATION, CONSTRUCTION AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO THE COMMUNITY. BY THE ACCEPTANCE OF THEIR DEED OR OTHER CONVEYANCE OR MORTGAGE, LEASEHOLD, LICENSE OR OTHER INTEREST, AND BY USING ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY, EACH SUCH OWNER, OCCUPANT AND USER AUTOMATICALLY ACKNOWLEDGES, STIPULATES AND AGREES (1) THAT NONE OF THE AFORESAID ACTIVITIES SHALL BE DEEMED NUISANCES OR NOXIOUS OR OFFENSIVE ACTIVITIES, HEREUNDER OR AT LAW GENERALLY, (2) NOT TO ENTER UPON, OR ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN OR OTHER PERSONS UNDER THEIR CONTROL OR DIRECTION TO ENTER UPON (REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH ENTRY IS A TRESPASS OR OTHERWISE) ANY PROPERTY WITHIN OR IN PROXIMITY TO THE AREA OF THE COMMUNITY WHERE SUCH ACTIVITY IS BEING CONDUCTED (EVEN IF NOT BEING ACTIVELY CONDUCTED AT THE TIME OF ENTRY, SUCH AS AT NIGHT OR OTHERWISE DURING NON-WORKING HOURS), (3) TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED OR NOT PROHIBITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, SELLER AND THE OTHER AFORESAID RELATED PARTIES SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES, DAMAGES (COMPENSATORY, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR OTHERWISE), INJURIES OR DEATHS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE AFORESAID ACTIVITIES, EXCEPT RESULTING DIRECTLY FROM SELLER’S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT, (4) ANY PURCHASE OR USE OF ANY PORTION OF THE COMMUNITY HAS BEEN AND WILL BE MADE WITH FULL KNOWLEDGE OF THE FOREGOING AND (5) THIS ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT TO SELL, CONVEY, AND/OR ALLOW THE USE OF THE HOME.

19. Dangerous Condition; No right to Enter; No Communications with Subcontractors

 

19.1 Buyer understands and agrees that the Home is a construction site and that the Home and the improvements, equipment and supplies thereon constitute a danger to those who may enter upon the site. Buyer and Buyer’s guests, including, but not limited to friends, Buyer’s independent contractors, consultants, family members and minor children (collectively “Buyer’s Guests”), shall not enter onto the Home or Homesite prior to Closing unless authorized in writing and accompanied by Seller’s representative. Any unauthorized, unaccompanied entry by Buyer or Buyer’s Guests shall constitute a breach and default of this Agreement by Buyer, at Seller’s election. Moreover, any entry by Buyer or Buyer’s Guests onto the Home or Homesite prior to Closing shall be done at Buyer’s own risk and in compliance with all federal, state and local safety laws and regulations. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer waives, releases and shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against any claims made by Buyer’s Guests as a direct or indirect result of any such unauthorized, unaccompanied entry onto the Home or Homesite.

 

19.2 Buyer acknowledges that all matters pertaining to the initial construction of the Home will be performed by Seller and Seller’s subcontractors and vendors who are performing the work under contracts with Seller. For reasons of safety and to comply with liability and insurance requirements imposed upon Seller, Buyer agrees that supervision and direction of the working forces, including, without limitation, all contractors and subcontractors, is to be done exclusively by Seller, and Buyer agrees not to issue any instructions to the working forces or otherwise hinder construction or installation of improvements on the Home. Buyer shall not do or have any work done on the Home, nor may Buyer store any possessions thereon, prior to Closing and transfer of title to the Home to Buyer.

 

19.3 Without limiting the applicability of this Section to all obligations, representations and covenants of Buyer hereunder, Buyer specifically acknowledges that any breach by Buyer of the terms and conditions contained within this Section shall be deemed to be a “material breach” and shall entitle Seller to declare this Agreement to be in default in accordance with the provisions of the Buyer’s Default Section in this Agreement. Seller’s failure to promptly take any action with respect to Buyer’s breach of the terms and conditions contained herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any of Seller’s rights or remedies hereunder. Whenever this Agreement shall require Seller to complete or substantially complete an item of construction, unless provided specifically to the contrary herein, such item shall be deemed complete or substantially complete when so completed, in the sole and unfettered opinion of Seller. Without limiting Seller’s rights contained within the Site and Substitutions Section in this Agreement, should Seller fail to provide any item of construction required to be provided or any option, extra and/or upgrade, Buyer’s sole remedy therefore will be to collect an amount from Seller equal to Seller’s cost for such item and for Seller’s cost of installation of such item had such item been installed at the appropriate time during construction. Without limiting Seller’s rights and Buyer’s obligations contained within this Section and elsewhere in this Agreement, should any warranted defects in workmanship or materials be discovered before or after the Closing, Buyer agrees that Buyer’s sole remedy therefore is for Seller to, at Seller’s sole and absolute discretion, either repair or replace the defective item. To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller disclaims any liability for incidental or consequential damages that may arise from a defective item.

 

20. Inspection of the Home. BUYER WILL BE GIVEN A REASONABLE OPPORTUNITY TO INSPECT THE HOME WITH SELLER’S REPRESENTATIVE PRIOR TO CLOSING, AND AT THAT TIME BUYER WILL SIGN A “NEW HOME ORIENTATION LIST” STATING ANY DEFECTS IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS OR INCOMPLETE ITEMS WHICH BUYER DISCOVERS. ANY DEFECTS OR INCOMPLETE ITEMS NOT SO LISTED WHICH ARE APPARENT OR VISIBLE SHALL BE DEEMED ACCEPTED BY BUYER AND ANY CLAIM RELATED THERETO FOREVER WAIVED. IF ANY ITEM LISTED IS ACTUALLY DEFECTIVE IN WORKMANSHIP OR MATERIALS IN SELLER’S OPINION (IN ACCORDANCE WITH CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS PREVALENT FOR A SIMILAR HOME IN THE COUNTY), SELLER WILL BE OBLIGATED TO CORRECT THOSE DEFECTS AT SELLER’S COST WITHIN A REASONABLE PERIOD OF TIME AFTER CLOSING, PROVIDED HOWEVER THAT SELLER’S OBLIGATION TO CORRECT WILL NOT BE A GROUND FOR DEFERRING THE CLOSING, NOR FOR ANY SETOFF, NOR FOR IMPOSING ANY CONDITION ON CLOSING AS LONG AS THE HOME IS HABITABLE. THE ISSUANCE OF A CERTIFICATE OF COMPLETION OR USE SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF HABITABILITY. BUYER SHALL HAVE NO RIGHT TO REQUIRE ESCROWS OR HOLD BACKS OF CLOSING FUNDS OR ANY CASH TO CLOSE, AND NONE WILL BE PERMITTED. IF BUYER FAILS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE PRE-CLOSING INSPECTION ON THE TIME AND DATE SCHEDULED BY SELLER, BUYER SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE WAIVED THE RIGHT TO SUBMIT A NEW HOME ORIENTATION LIST TO SELLER.

 

21. Natural Disasters. Seller builds homes to the building code in effect at the time the building permit is applied for Buyer’s Home. Building code requirements do not guarantee a home can or will withstand the impacts of a natural disaster; including but not limited to earthquake, forest fire, tornado, hurricane flood, and avalanche. Seller cannot guarantee the Home; its structure or features will not be impacted by a natural disaster. Buyer should review their applicable homeowner’s and/or flood insurance policy(s) and consult their insurance professional for additional information. Buyer is urged to follow the advice and direction from local emergency management officials regarding a natural disaster.

 

Buyer understands and agrees to accept the risks and conditions of natural disasters and to assume all liabilities associated with them. By executing and delivering this Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released Seller and Seller’s affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any and all liability or claims resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience, displacement, property damage, personal injury and/or death to or suffered by Buyer or any of its family members, occupants, guests, tenants, invitees and/or pets and any other person or pet.

 

22. Representation of Compliance with OFAC Regulations: Buyer represents and warrants that Buyer is not barred from doing business with U.S. entities pursuant to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”), including OFAC’s Specially-Designated-Nationals (“SDN) list and lists of known or suspected terrorist organizations. If Seller identifies or is informed that Buyer is a valid match for OFAC’s SDN list, then this Agreement is void, and Seller shall cancel and revoke this Agreement immediately. In the event of cancellation or revocation of this Agreement under this provision, Seller shall immediately contact OFAC to report the transaction and to determine whether deposit money provided by Buyer, if any, should be returned or blocked, consistent with OFAC regulations.

23. Agreement not to be Recorded. Buyer covenants that Buyer shall not record this Agreement (or any memorandum thereof) in the Public Records of the County. Buyer agrees, if Buyer records this Agreement, to pay all of Seller’s attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in removing the cloud in title caused by such recordation. Seller’s rights under this Section shall be in addition to Seller’s remedies for Buyer’s default provided elsewhere in this Agreement. Notwithstanding, Seller reserves the right to record this Agreement, any addenda, in its sole and absolute discretion.

 

24. Transfer, Assignment and Persons Bound. Buyer agrees that Buyer will not, and does not have the right to, assign, sell or transfer Buyer’s interest in this Agreement (whether voluntarily or by operation of law or otherwise) without Seller’s prior written consent. If Buyer is a corporation, other business entity, trustee or nominee, a transfer of any material equity or beneficial or principal interest shall constitute an assignment of this Agreement. If Buyer attempts to assign this Agreement in violation of this Section, Seller can declare Buyer in default and Seller shall be entitled to all remedies available under this Agreement. Buyer agrees that Seller may withhold its consent with or without any reason or condition in any manner it chooses (if it gives it at all) and may charge Buyer a reasonable amount to cover administrative costs incurred in considering whether or not to grant consent. If Buyer dies or in any way loses legal control of his/her affairs, this Agreement will bind his/her heirs and legal representatives. If Buyer has received Seller’s permission to assign or transfer this Agreement, then Buyer’s approved assignees shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement. If more than one person signs this Agreement as Buyer, each such person shall be jointly and severally liable for full performance of all of Buyer’s duties and obligations hereunder.

 

25. Time of the Essence. Buyer acknowledges that time is of the essence in connection with the transactions contemplated under this Agreement.

 

26. Interpretation and Computation of Time. The use of the masculine gender in this Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the feminine or neuter gender, and the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, whenever the context so requires. This Agreement reflects the negotiated agreement of the parties. Each party acknowledges that they have been afforded the opportunity to seek competent legal counsel, and each have made an informed choice as to whether or not to be represented by legal counsel. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be construed as if both parties jointly prepared it, and no presumption against one party or the other shall govern the interpretation or construction of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to the time periods of fewer than five (5) days shall, in the computation thereof, exclude Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. Any reference in this Agreement to time periods of five (5) days or more shall, in computation thereof, include Saturdays, Sundays and legal holidays. If the last day of any such period is a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday, the period shall be extended to 5:00 p.m. on the next full business day. The section headings in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the meaning, interpretation or scope of the provisions which follow them.

 

27. Notice. Unless expressly set forth otherwise in any particular provision of this Agreement, all written notices required under this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given by a party when delivered to the address identified on Page 1 of this Agreement in one or more of the following methods: (a) when delivered by hand; (b) one day after deposit with a recognized overnight courier service; or (c) when delivered by electronic transmission with electronic confirmation. Buyer is responsible for providing written notice to Seller of any address change. All written notices shall be effective when sent in the manner above even if receipt is refused.

 

28. Waiver. Seller’s waiver of any of its rights or remedies shall not operate to waive any other of Seller’s rights or remedies or to prevent Seller from enforcing the waived right or remedy in another instance.

 

29. Survival. Buyer and Seller specifically agree that notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the rights and obligations as set forth in all provisions and disclaimers in this Agreement shall survive (1) the Closing of the purchase of the Home; (2) the termination of this Agreement by either party; or (3) the default of this Agreement by either party, unless expressly stated otherwise.

 

30. Incorporation and Severability. In the event that any portion of any clause or provision of this Agreement shall be void or unenforceable, such clause or provision shall be enforceable to the maximum extent allowed by law to give meaning to the parties’ intent. In the event that any clause or provision of this Agreement, in its entirety, shall be void and unenforceable, it shall deemed deleted so that the balance of this Agreement is enforceable.

 

31. Governing Law. Any disputes that develop under this Agreement or questions regarding the interpretation of this Agreement will be settled according to the law of the state where the Home is located to the extent federal law is not applicable.

 

32. Entire Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT IS A LEGALLY BINDING CONTRACT. IF NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD, PLEASE SEEK COMPETENT LEGAL ADVICE. BUYER CERTIFIES THAT BUYER HAS READ EVERY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES EACH RIDER AND ADDENDUM ATTACHED HERETO AND THAT THIS AGREEMENT, TOGETHER WITH EACH SUCH RIDER AND ADDENDUM, CONSTITUTES THE ENTIRE AGREEMENT BETWEEN BUYER AND SELLER. PRIOR AGREEMENTS, REPRESENTATIONS, UNDERSTANDINGS, AND ORAL STATEMENTS NOT REFLECTED IN THIS AGREEMENT HAVE NO EFFECT AND ARE NOT BINDING ON SELLER. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BUYER HAS NOT RELIED ON ANY REPRESENTATIONS, NEWSPAPERS, RADIO OR TELEVISION ADVERTISEMENTS, WARRANTIES, STATEMENTS, OR ESTIMATES OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, MADE BY SELLER, SALES PERSONS, AGENTS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CO- OPERATING BROKERS (IF ANY) OR OTHERWISE EXCEPT AS HEREIN SPECIFICALLY REPRESENTED. BUYER HAS BASED HIS/HER/THEIR DECISION TO PURCHASE THE HOME ON PERSONAL INVESTIGATION, OBSERVATION AND THE DOCUMENTS MADE AVAILABLE TO BUYER BY SELLER OR BY THE EXERCISE OF REASONABLE DILIGENCE OR REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

 

33. Modification. This Agreement is the entire agreement for the sale and purchase of the Home and once it is signed by both Buyer and Seller, it can only be amended by a written agreement signed by both Buyer and Seller.

34. Additional Changes. Notwithstanding Sections 32 and 33 of this Agreement, Buyer agrees that it may be necessary (at any time and from time to time) after Buyer executes this Agreement for Seller, to change the terms and provisions of this Agreement to comply with and conform to the rules and regulations (as same may exist and as same may be promulgated from time to time) of any governmental agency, developer or declarant, subdivision or authority or court of competent jurisdiction and Buyer consents to all such changes. Notwithstanding Sections 32 and 33 of this Agreement, Seller shall have the right to amend this Agreement for development or other purposes, and Buyer consents to all such amendments.

 

35. Inducement. Buyer acknowledges that the sole inducement to close on the purchase of the Home is the Home itself and not (1) the common facilities comprising part of the Community, if any, or (2) any expectation that the Home will increase in value. Buyer understands and acknowledges that Seller sells homes for personal use and enjoyment. Seller is not making, and does not condone, any representations about future income, profit, or rental potential of any home. Buyer should purchase the Home for personal use and enjoyment without reliance on any future profit, rental income, economic, or tax advantages.

SUPPLY CHAIN ADDENDUM

 

THIS SUPPLY CHAIN ADDENDUM(this “Addendum”) is made and entered into as of March 08, 2023 and incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, “Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H of Subdivision/Plat Sunset Oaks, in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”).

All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Supply Chain Disruption & Construction Delays. Buyer acknowledges that there are acute and growing supply chain disruptions that have resulted in price increases in raw materials and construction delays. While Seller is committed to honoring the Purchase Price and exempting Buyer from having to share in the resulting cost increases, the supply chain disruptions and delays create numerous obstacles to Seller in its business of building and selling homes.

 

3. Installation of Minor Items Not Required for the Issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy. Buyer acknowledges that due to supply chain disruptions, some items to be installed in the Home, such as cabinet drawers and doors, shower enclosures, appliances and/or other minor finishing items (collectively, “Minor Items”), may not be installed or completed by the time a certificate of occupancy (“CO”) is issued for the Property. Buyer hereby agrees that Seller’s inability to install or complete the Minor Items shall not delay Closing and Buyer shall proceed to Closing as scheduled by Seller provided that a CO has been issued for the Property. Buyer shall have no right to require any escrows or holdbacks at Closing relating to the Minor Items. Any escrow or holdback requirements of Buyer’s lender shall be the responsibility of Buyer and paid in addition to all other proceeds due at Closing. Seller agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the installation or completion of the Minor Items to occur promptly after Closing once the appliance(s) or other required material or labor become available.

 

4. Counterparts/Signatures. This Addendum may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

5. Survival. The terms of this Addendum shall specifically survive Closing.

 

6. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of this Addendum and the Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall govern the parties.

 

7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

MASTER DISCLOSURE AND INFORMATION ADDENDUM TO

PURCHASE AND SALE AGREEMENT

TEXAS

 

THIS MASTER DISCLOSURE AND INFORMATION ADDENDUM (this “Addendum”) is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (“Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H, of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks (the “Community”).

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Community. This Addendum explains certain terms which are applicable to the purchase of homes within the Community. Builders other than Seller may build homes in the Community. Other builders may be added or deleted from the list of builders in the future. Seller, and any other builder in the Community, shall have the right, without notice to Buyer, to make changes to, among other things, homesite sizes, number of homes being built, size and style of homes being built, features and materials in homes being built, prices of homes (whether more or less than currently published), price per square foot of homes (whether more or less than currently published), number and size of homesites, street layout, amenity layout, and usage, location, size and number of trees, bushes and other foliage (current and future), and any other items or uses which are currently planned for the Community. Seller makes no representations or warranties that Seller will be the exclusive builder or developer in the Community or that the Community will be built out exactly as currently planned, and, if the Seller is the developer of the Community, Seller expressly reserves the right to make whatever changes it deems necessary relating to future development or build out of the Community. Any current maps or other materials showing any final or projected community development may be modified or updated in the future.

 

SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES WITH REGARD TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF HOMESITES IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY. HOMESITES IN AND AROUND THE COMMUNITY MAY REMAIN UNDEVELOPED AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF SELLER, OTHER BUILDERS IN THE COMMUNITY, AND/OR THE DEVELOPER OF THE COMMUNITY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES, STATED, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE WITH REGARD TO SELLER BEING THE SOLE OR EXCLUSIVE BUILDER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY. SELLER HAS MADE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR PROVIDED ANY ASSURANCES, STATED, IMPLIED, OR OTHERWISE WITH REGARD TO CONTINUING TO BUILD IN THE COMMUNITY THROUGH FINAL BUILD OUT AND/OR BUILDING UPON ANY UNDEVELOPED HOMESITE(S). FURTHERMORE, IT IS UNDERSTOOD THAT NO REPRESENTATIONS, ESTIMATES OR PROJECTIONS HAVE BEEN CONVEYED REGARDING THE FINAL BUILD OUT TIME OF ANY UNDEVELOPED HOMESITE(S) OR THE OVERALL COMPLETION SCHEDULE OF THIS COMMUNITY. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER CONSTANTLY EVALUATES THE PRICING, DESIGNS, PRODUCT MIX AND AMENITIES OF ITS COMMUNITIES AND SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING WHETHER TO CONTINUE TO BUILD HOMES WITHIN THE COMMUNITY AND BUYER IS NOT RELYING UPON ANY OF THE FOREGOING IN DECIDING TO PURCHASE THE HOME.

 

3. Effect on Community of Change in Control. Buyer acknowledges that Seller may decide not to build additional homes or not pursue any further development in the Community. Buyer acknowledges that if Seller transfers control of its lots in the Community or any control of the further development of the Community, if applicable, that such transfer could have an adverse impact upon Buyer. By way of example only, if Seller transfers its interests, Buyer understands that completed or partially completed homes may remain vacant for a long period of time. Buyer further understands that the management and operation of the Community by the Association (as defined herein) could be disrupted during any transition period. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller cannot predict every impact that may be material to the Buyer and that it is imperative that Buyer make Buyer’s own independent evaluation of the potential adverse impacts that may affect Buyer’s decision to consummate the purchase of a home in the Community.

 

4. Financing and Closing Costs Disclosures.

 

4.1 If Buyer desires to employ an attorney to represent Buyer, then Buyer may do so at Buyer’s expense.

 

4.2 Although Seller may make available to Buyer the name of one or more lenders or information about one or more available financing alternatives, Buyer agrees that the choice of a lender and loan is Buyer’s sole decision, and Seller has not made any promises or representations concerning the likelihood of Buyer obtaining the loan, the terms and conditions of such loan or the interest rate or fees associated with such loan.

 

4.3 BUYER IS HEREBY ADVISED BY SELLER THAT INTEREST RATES, LOAN FEES, AND OTHER LOAN CONDITIONS ARE NOT GUARANTEED, FIXED OR ESTABLISHED (AND SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO SUCH ITEMS) AND ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE BY ANY LENDER. SELLER DOES NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THAT COMPLETION OF THE IMPROVEMENTS OR LOAN FUNDING CAN BE ACHIEVED WITHIN LOAN LOCK PERIODS, IF ANY, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH LOCKS ARE PAID FOR BY SELLER OR BUYER.

 

Page 1 of 14

 

4.4 Responsibility for obtaining the loan and for satisfying all conditions made by the Lender with regard to the loan shall rest solely with the Buyer.

 

5. Document Book. Buyer acknowledges receipt of the “Document Book” for the Community as follows:

 

5.1 Buyer acknowledges receipt of, and agrees to be bound by the Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Sunset Oaks (the “Declaration”), the Articles of Incorporation, By-Laws and any Rules and Regulations of the Sunset Oaks Residential Community, Inc., all as amended and supplemented from time to time (collectively, the “Community Documents”). Buyer acknowledges and agrees that title to the Home will be subject to the Community Documents.

 

5.2 The Home will be subject to certain deed restrictions as reflected in the Special Warranty Deed executed by Seller and furnished to Buyer at Closing. The deed restrictions run with the Homesite and require, among other things, that Buyer give Seller (i) notice of Seller’s defaults or any Claim (as defined therein) after Closing and (ii) an opportunity to inspect and cure defects in the Home. The deed restrictions further require the arbitration of any Claim against Seller that cannot be resolved informally.

 

5.3 Buyer acknowledges that the Document Book may contain additional provisions, that may not be specified herein, which restrict Buyer’s use of the Homesite. Buyer further acknowledges the provisions of the Document Book and any such restrictions contained therein are fair and reasonable.

 

6. Association Memberships.

 

6.1 Upon conveyance and recording of the Deed to the Home, Buyer will become a member of the Sunset Oaks Residential Community, Inc., a Texas nonprofit corporation (the “Association”). Buyer agrees to accept the liability and obligations of such membership. Buyer understands that as a member of the Association, Buyer will be required to pay Assessments (as defined in the Document Book) for the maintenance of the Common Areas (as defined in the Document Book) and for such other uses and purposes as are provided for in the Document Book. Buyer also understands and agrees that a failure to pay Assessments when due could cause the Association to record a lien on the Home and to foreclose such lien. Assessments are subject to change, which may include additional increases in the manner currently provided for in the Document Book.Seller, the Association, and any other builder cannot estimate the amount or frequency of any such increase. Section 270.003, Property Code, entitles an owner to receive copies of any document that governs, the establishment, maintenance, or operation of a subdivision, including, but not limited to, statements specifying the amount and frequency of regular assessments and the style and cause number of lawsuits to which the Association is a party, other than lawsuits relating to ad valorem taxes of an individual member of the Association. To the extent not already provided, these documents must be made available to you by the Association or its agents on your request.

 

6.2 Buyer acknowledges that nominees of Seller, the developer of the Community may serve as the initial officers and directors of the Association. The officers and directors and the management company, which may be an affiliate of Seller, are authorized by Buyer to act for and on the behalf of the Association. Seller may, but is not required to, advance monies to the Association for operations. In the event such advances are made, they will be considered a loan from Seller, and the Association will be obligated to repay such advances as set forth in the Document Book.

 

7. Community Charges. In addition to the Closing Costs set forth in the Agreement, Buyer shall pay the following additional Closing Costs respecting the Community.

 

7.1 Association Assessments. Assessments payable to the Association (“Association Assessments”), prorated for the month in which the Closing occurs (based on the then current Association Assessments at the time of closing). Such Association Assessments are estimated to be $40.00per month at this time. Buyer understands that the estimated operating budget for the Association is only an estimate of what it will cost to run the Association. The Association may make changes in the budget at any time to cover increases or decreases in expenses or estimates in the budget. Without limiting the generality of this Section, those changes will not give Buyer any right to cancel the Agreement.

 

7.2 Association Capitalization Fee and/or Transfer Fee. Buyer acknowledges that among other Assessments provided for in the Document Book, the Association may establish a capitalization and/or transfer fee. Currently, the capitalization fee is $250.00and the transfer fee is $185.00. The capitalization fee and/or transfer fee may be used by Seller for any reason whatsoever including, without limitation, reimbursing Seller’s costs in setting up the Association and its costs of deficit funding. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the capitalization fee and/or transfer fee is not to be considered as an advance payment of Assessments. For more information on the capitalization fee and/or transfer fee, please refer to the Document Book.

 

7.3 Additional Assessments. Buyer acknowledges that there may be additional Assessments with regard to this Community, including, but not necessarily limited to a resale certificate fee. For more information on those additional Assessments, please refer to the Document Book.

8. Community Access/Gates. The Community is not a gated community and the roads in the Community are public.

 

9. Building and Use Restrictions. Every homesite is subject to building and use restrictions as set forth in the Document Book. These restrictions are subject to change without notice. Building and use restrictions may affect, among other things, residential and nonresidential uses, building specifications, accessory structures, nuisance, home occupancy, signage, antennas, satellite dishes, animals, driveways, vehicle parking, rubbish, utility and drainage easements, clothes lines, fences, special rights of Seller, any developer and homebuilder(s), leases and restoration of homesites. Buyer should carefully review the Document Book.

 

10. Building Codes and Ordinances. Every city or town has building codes and other ordinances that regulate what is permissible within its jurisdictional limits. Buyer should contact the city or town in which the Home is located prior to making changes to the Home or Homesite for further information concerning local codes and ordinances. Seller is not responsible for notifying Buyer, or any other homeowner, of the content or restrictions contained in any local codes or ordinances.

 

11. Architectural Review.

 

11.1 Buyer acknowledges that all new construction and modifications of existing construction and exteriors of improvements within the Community are subject to the prior written approval of the Architectural Control Committee of the Association (the “ACC”). Buyer agrees to comply with all rules and regulations of the ACC as the same may be amended and exist from time to time. These restrictions are subject to change without notice. Building and use restrictions include, but are not limited to, residential and nonresidential uses, building specifications, accessory structures, nuisance, home occupancy, signage, antennas, animals, driveways, vehicle parking, rubbish, utility and drainage easements, clothes lines, fences, special rights of Seller, the developer of the Community, leases and restoration of homesites. Buyer agrees not to commence any construction upon any portion of the Homesite until after the ACC has given its written approval. Buyer further agrees not to make any modifications of any existing buildings and improvements, including, but not limited to, landscaping and landscape irrigation, without the prior written approval of the ACC and until any applicable permits have been obtained. In addition, every city, county or town has building codes and other ordinances that regulate what is permissible within its jurisdictional limits. Prior to making changes to the Home or Homesite, Buyer should contact the applicable governmental authorities for further information concerning local codes and ordinances. Seller is not responsible for notifying homeowners of the content or restrictions contained in any local codes or ordinances.

 

11.2 Failure to submit plans and specifications to the ACC for approval is a violation of the provisions of the Document Book, which may result in sanctions and/or the imposition of fines, and the removal, at homeowner expense, of any non-approved modifications.

 

12. Pet Restrictions. Buyer understands that the only pets allowed in the Community are those which are in accordance with the restrictions contained in the Document Book or any amendments thereto. Buyer also acknowledges that pets may also be restricted by applicable state or municipal laws and regulations, and agrees to abide by the same.

 

13. Short-Term Rentals. Buyer acknowledges that homes in the Community may be rented for any length of time, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Document Book, or that there may be certain restrictions on rentals in the Community. For more information, Seller encourages Buyer to review the Document Book or contact the Association.

 

14. Rentals. From time to time, Seller may market and sell homes in the Community to investors or to buyers who may not occupy their homes as their primary residence. Seller may also elect to lease, rather than sell, some of all of the homes that it owns within the Community. Consequently, homes in the Community may be leased to or occupied by persons other than their owners.

 

15. Flood Zone. According to the applicable Flood Insurance Rate Map (“FIRM”) published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”), some portions of the Community, including the Home, may be located in a flood zone for which Buyer’s Lender may require flood insurance. Even if the Home is not currently in such a flood zone, Buyer understands that FEMA and/or the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration may reevaluate and change the current flood zone designations from time to time at its sole discretion. Seller makes no representations that the current flood zone designation will not change and Buyer understands that the current flood zone designation is subject to change at any time for reasons beyond Seller’s control. In evaluating the flood zone designation for the Home, Buyer should not rely on oral representations as to the flood zone status of the Home and should visit www.fema.gov and/or the county or city flood map website where the Home is located. Mortgage lenders will typically require the issuance of flood insurance as a requirement for financing, which insurance must be present at Closing, or, in the event the area is reclassified, may require Buyer to obtain flood insurance at a date subsequent to Closing. Seller recommends that each Buyer of a Home protect his/her Home by obtaining proper insurance coverage. It is possible, however, for Buyer to submit documentation to FEMA to have the Home re- classified by FEMA, whereby the mortgage lender may have the option to waive the requirement of flood insurance. Buyer is solely responsible for the submission to FEMA for such re-classification and any and all expenses related to such submission. Further, Buyer acknowledges and understands that the waiver of flood insurance is at the sole discretion of the mortgage lender.

16. Bodies of Water within the Community.

 

16.1 Water Levels. THE WATER LEVELS OF LAKES, PONDS OR OTHER BODIES OF WATER WITHIN THE COMMUNITY, IF ANY, MAY VARY. THERE IS NO GUARANTEE BY SELLER OR THE ASSOCIATION THAT WATER LEVELS WILL BE CONSTANT OR AESTHETICALLY PLEASING AT ANY PARTICULAR TIME; AT TIMES, WATER LEVELS MAY BE NONEXISTENT.

 

16.2 BUYER UNDERSTANDS THAT IF THE HOME ADJOINS A WATER IMPOUNDMENT, THAT THE WATER LEVEL OF THE IMPOUNDMENT FLUCTUATES FOR VARIOUS REASONS, INCLUDING AS A RESULT OF: (1) AN ENTITY LAWFULLY EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO USE THE WATER STORED IN THE IMPOUNDMENT; OR (2) DROUGHT OR FLOOD CONDITIONS.

 

16.3 Detention Pond Disclosure. One or more detention ponds may exist within the Community. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that drainage detention pond (“drainage easement”) maintenance is not the Seller’s responsibility. Seller makes no assurance as to the finish out of this common area. The drainage easement can and will at times be dangerous after certain natural events. Children should be advised to stay away from this area.

 

16.4 Homesite Adjacent to Creek Bed. Some homesites may be bordered by a natural creek bed. This creek bed area may remain in a natural vegetative state and as such, certain factors are inherent therein. Some factors may include, but are not limited to, the following: mosquito populations; animal life, which may include that which typically lives around creeks such as snakes, frogs, turtles, waterfowl, raccoons, possum, fish, etc. that may wander onto the homesites; water levels may dramatically vary due to rainfall amounts; odors or smells which may result from dead animal life; seasonal factors and weather conditions; vegetation such as existing native trees and shrubbery may be subject to erosion of surrounding land area and, subsequently, may fall or die as a result; and, natural erosion from waterways and wind may affect surrounding soil and, as such, existing topography may be altered.

 

17. Irrigation System. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller may provide an irrigation system serving the Homesite and that Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the source of the water for the irrigation system. In addition, the Association may install and maintain irrigation systems in some of the Common Areas. After Closing, if Buyer desires to make any alterations, improvements, or repairs to the irrigation system on the Homesite that may affect the irrigation system, it may be necessary for the Buyer to obtain prior written approval from the Association. For more information on any restrictions on alterations, improvements or repairs with regard to the irrigation system or to the Homesite that may affect the irrigation system, if any, or with regard to the installation of irrigation systems in some of the Common Areas, please refer to the Document Book.

 

18. Utilities and Drainage on the Homesite.

 

18.1 Drainage and Utility Structures. Some homesites contain or are adjacent to drainage and utility structures such as storm water overflow swales, storm water catch basins, manholes, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, switch boxes, telephone pedestals, cable television pedestals and supply boxes, and streetlights. None of these items shall be altered, obstructed, buried, modified, restricted or interfered with in any manner whatsoever.

 

18.2 Drainage and Utility Easements. An easement is the right of someone other than the land owner to use a portion of the land for a limited purpose. There are public utility and drainage easements along the perimeter of every homesite in the Community. These easements are dedicated in and shown on the recorded subdivision plats for the Community. The easements on each homesite are also shown on the individual setback and easement survey for each homesite. Nothing may be done in any utility and drainage easement area to impede the drainage of surface water or to interfere with the installation, maintenance and repair of utility lines and structures. Play structures, landscaping, accessory structures (such as small sheds) or other improvements may not be installed in the drainage and utility easement areas, because they might change the drainage pattern and/or might have to be removed, at the homeowner’s expense, in order to maintain underground utility lines. No trash, waste, soil, leaves, grass clippings, or other offensive materials may be placed or stored within these easement areas. Each homeowner is required to maintain that portion of his or her yard that lies within the drainage and utility easements. An exception to this maintenance requirement exists where the drainage and utility easement covers wetlands, wetland buffers and wetland mitigation areas. For more information on drainage and utility easements contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

18.3 Homesite Easement & Plot Plan Disclosure. Seller neither infers, nor guarantees the existence or lack of easements (utility, maintenance, city, etc.) on Homesite. A preliminary plot plan is available to Buyer by request on Seller’s authorized request form known as “Request for Plot Plan.” Changes can and sometimes do occur to the original preliminary plot plan, the recorded plat map and/or the final survey.

 

18.4 Community Drainage Disclosure. Due to the topography of the Community, water will at times flow through the Homesite from adjacent and surrounding homesites. This is necessary to achieve positive drainage away from all applicable homesites. Buyer acknowledges that no adverse action may be taken by Buyer to alter said drainage pattern. Seller advises Buyer that some of the homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite) are or may be subject to some runoff from adjacent and surrounding homesites.

 

18.5 Retaining Wall and Drainage. Retaining walls may exist within Buyer’s Homesite property lines. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that, at times, water may drain over retaining walls from one homesite to another.

 

 
Page 4 of 14

 

 

18.6 Grading and Drainage. Buyer acknowledges that the drainage for the front, rear and side yards of each lot was designed by a professional engineer to divert water away from the foundation and concrete flat work. The drainage of the yard of the Homesite may result in a swale across the front and/or back yard of the Home. As a result and in these instances, Buyer acknowledges that the front and/or back yard will not be level and that Seller will not make any adjustments to the depth or severity of the swale. In addition, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that altering the drainage and/or over-watering will have negative effects on potentially expansive soils and will void the drainage and foundation warranty on the Home. If the drainage is altered in such a manner that water flows toward the foundation and/or concrete flat work, severe damage to one or both may result. Resulting damage may include, but not be limited to, the following: heaving in the slab, cracking of the slab, stucco cracks, cracking of driveways, front or rear yard stoops and walkways, and/or cosmetic damage or alterations of interior finishes in the home. Furthermore, over watering may also lead to same or similar results. SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION REGARDING SHIFTING SOILS, UNSETTLED SOILS, UNUSUAL ROCKS, OR SUBSURFACE CONDITIONS.

 

18.7 Utility Box and Related Items Disclosure. At this stage in construction, Seller may not know which homesites will receive one or more of the following: utility poles, transformer boxes (both main and secondary), cable and phone boxes, storm drains, man holes, streetlights, gas taps, underground power, water/sewer and gas lines, overhead power lines, and/or irrigation maintenance sheds. The premium amount paid for the Home, if any, does not guarantee Buyer that he or she will not receive one or more of the above mentioned items on the Homesite. Seller will not reimburse any amount of a premium paid if any of the said items are installed on the Homesite. There is a strong possibility that the back and/or side yards of the Homesite will contain underground power, gas, water or sewer lines. If Buyer plans on building a pool on the Homesite, it is Buyer’s responsibility to contact the source of the underground lines. Buyer is financially responsible for having any of the underground lines moved.

 

19. Foundation Maintenance. Buyer(s) understand and acknowledge that proper inspection and maintenance of the foundation (e.g. maintaining consistent moisture levels in the yard near the foundation on a year-round basis, maintaining original drainage patterns, limiting trees and shrubbery near the foundation, maintaining proper ventilation of any crawl spaces, etc.) is critical to the structural performance of the Home’s foundation. Buyer(s) also understand and acknowledge that while certain municipalities provide restrictions on the amount of water that may be used to maintain a yard, these restrictions may not apply to the use of certain equipment (e.g., soaker hoses) to properly maintain the consistency of moisture levels in the soils surrounding the Home’s foundation. Failure to properly maintain consistent moisture levels, changing drainage patterns established at the time the Home is purchased, allowing excessive trees and shrubbery to grow near the foundation, or allowing excessive moisture to collect near or under the Home may result in severe damage to or failure of the Home’s foundation. Buyer understands that Seller is not responsible for any damage to the foundation of the Home due to the failure of Buyer(s) to properly maintain the foundation or the soil conditions under and around the foundation, and Buyer(s) shall be responsible for any damages that may result to the Home, including but not limited to potential foundation movement, caused by Buyer(s) failure to properly maintain the foundation and the soils conditions under and around the foundation.

 

 Buyers Initials:

 

 

20. Utilities in the Community.

 

20.1 Buyer acknowledges that no septic tanks shall be permitted within the Community. No wells shall be installed without the express written consent of the ACC if applicable, and all other applicable government agencies.

 

20.2 Some homesites contain or are adjacent to drainage and utility structures such as storm water overflow swales, storm water catch basins, manholes, fire hydrants, electrical transformers, switch boxes, telephone pedestals and streetlights. None of these items shall be altered, obstructed, buried, modified, restricted or interfered with in any manner whatsoever. Overflow swales are generally only utilized for overflow storm water capacity as a result of water drainage. Electrical transformers may only be landscaped to the extent permission is given by the utility provider. In some cases, water may flow from one homesite to another, and these situations are shown on the final plat. State law may provide that the owner of the homesite receiving water is required to accept the water flow and may not impede the flow of this water. In addition, the Home will be graded to provide for reasonable drainage away from the Home’s foundation. The vast majority of foundation problems are caused by insufficient drainage or lack of watering of soil around the foundation. Buyer should keep Buyer’s lawn well-watered to maintain consistent moisture content and avoid excess wetness, dryness or cracking of soil. The construction of curbs, decks, retaining walls, pools, spas, patios, landscape edging and similar items can also trap water within the yard area and cause structural damage to the Home’s foundation. Seller strongly recommends that Buyer consult with a licensed landscape architect and civil engineer before performing any work or making any changes that may affect the existing drainage pattern.

 

20.3 Water Tower. Water tower(s) may be constructed within the Community and/or on adjacent property to serve the water storage and pressure requirements of the water provider.

 

20.4 Water Supply. The Maxwell Special Utility District provides water to the Community. Because Seller does not control the water supply, Seller cannot guarantee the quality of the water provided to the Community. In addition, this area is periodically subjected to extended periods of drought that may cause depletion of water supplies. Municipalities and other providers of water services in the area of the Community may enact mandatory or voluntary cut backs or other restrictions in water usage. Seller has no control, influence, responsibility or liability for or over decisions concerning water rationing or the rates charged for water service.

 

 
Page 5 of 14

 

 

20.5 If Buyer has any questions about utility rates, services, safety, or anything else to do with overhead or underground transmission or utility lines, Buyer should contact the utility companies directly. Because Seller values Buyer’s safety and that of Buyer’s neighbors, no excavation or trenching should be done without first calling the utility companies for the location of buried utilities. There is currently no charge by the utilities for this service. This is especially important in utility easements where buried utility equipment is probable. Digging without advance notification and approval of the utility companies may be illegal, is dangerous and can result in severe personal injury or death to Buyer and Buyer’s neighbors, and can also result in severe property damage to homes, property and utility equipment.

 

20.6 Easement for (and Location of) High Voltage Lines. Portions of the Community may be located within close proximity of an easement owned by a utility company. This easement may give the utility company the right to install and operate high voltage electrical transmission lines, transformers, and related equipment. Such lines and/or equipment give off electric and magnetic fields (“EMF”) and may also give off audible sounds as by-products of the use of electricity. For further information regarding the possible effects of EMF, consult the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

 

20.7 Cable TV/Satellite/High Speed Internet. Seller is not responsible for the timing or selection of cable TV, satellite or high-speed internet availability throughout the Community.

 

20.8 Marketing Agreements. Seller may enter into marketing agreement(s) with third-party companies (e.g., a telecommunications provider, an energy provider, etc.) to allow them to place information about the company’s services in the model home/sales office. In addition, Seller provides addresses of homes to these third-party companies. Seller receives monetary and non-monetary compensation from the third- party companies as a result of these joint marketing efforts. Seller makes no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the ability of the third-party company, and its affiliates or partners, for availability or quality of service.

 

21. Hurricanes/Tropical Storms. Seller builds homes to the building code in effect at the time the building permit is applied for Buyer’s Home. Building code requirements do not guarantee a home can or will withstand the impacts of a hurricane. Seller cannot guarantee the Home, its structure or features will not be impacted by hurricane and/or tropical storm conditions. Buyer should review its applicable homeowner’s and/or flood insurance policy(s) and consult an insurance professional for additional information. Buyer is urged to follow the advice and direction from local emergency management officials regarding hurricane and tropical storm events.

 

Buyer understands and agrees to accept the risks and conditions of hurricanes and tropical storms and to assume all liabilities associated with them. By executing and delivering the Agreement and Closing, Buyer shall be deemed to have released Seller and Seller’s affiliates and their respective officers, directors, managers, members, shareholders, employees, and agents, from any and all liability or claims resulting from all matters disclosed or disclaimed in this Paragraph, including, without limitation, any liability for incidental or consequential damages which may result from, without limitation, inconvenience, displacement, property damage, personal injury and/or death to or suffered by Buyer or any of its family members, occupants, guests, tenants, invitees and/or pets and any other person or pet.

 

22. Facilities and Conditions Affecting Homesites.

 

22.1 The information set forth in this Section contains an overview of facilities and conditions which may affect some or all homesites in the Community (including but not limited to the Homesite). Because Seller does not have control over development outside of the Community, Seller does not warrant or guarantee any future development, usage, or lack of development or usage for properties located outside of the Community, or their possible impact on the residents of the Community. For additional information about offsite features that may affect the purchase of the Home, please contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

22.2 Seller advises Buyer that some of the homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite) are or may be adjacent to or near some of the following:

 

DRAINAGE CHANNEL, AIRPORT, RAILROAD TRACKS, STORM WATER DETENTION FACILITY, COMMUNITY CENTER, ELEVATED WATER STORAGE TOWER, SCHOOL FACILITY, PARK SCHOOL SITE, SPORTS FACILITY OR BALL FIELD, COMMUNITY LAKES, PARK AND/OR RECREATION FACILITY, WATER PLANT/SEWER PLANT, LIFT STATION, CELLULAR PHONE, RADIO, TELEVISION OR OTHER TOWER ANTENNA SITE, HIGH VOLTAGE TRANSMISSION LINES OR PIPELINE EASEMENT.

 

Buyer acknowledges that such facilities may impact noise, vibration, lighting, traffic and other conditions caused by daily operations of the facility. Drainage channels, lakes and storm water detention facilities will have varying levels of water for varying periods of time depending upon rainfall.

22.3 Sewage Treatment Plant. Approximately 0.5 miles from the eastern edge of the Community, Aqua Utilities, Inc. operates a sewage treatment facility (“Facility”). Due to the Community’s close proximity to the Facility, the Community may be affected by the natural consequence of having the Facility located and operated nearby. Sewage treatment plants can and will emit an unpleasant odor, gas and/or other chemicals and result in truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. Seller cannot guarantee that odors or gaseous or chemical emissions will not be noted in the future and is not responsible for odors or other nuisances which might result from the operations of this Facility and truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. As a result, Owners and occupants in the Community may be affected by odors, noise, or dust emanating from the Facility and truck traffic entering and exiting the Facility during daytime and nighttime hours. Further, the Facility’s operations may, in the future, be modified or the Facility may be reconfigured and/or expanded. Because Seller does not control the Facility, Seller cannot assure Buyer that the Facility’s operations will not be modified or the Facility will not be modified in the future or that any expansion of the Facility will not occur pursuant to requisite governmental approvals. Roads near the Facility and the Community may be used by trucks for the hauling of sludge from the Facility. These trucks may cause an unpleasant odor and may inconvenience traffic on such public roads.

 

22.4 Bike/Walking Path. The plans for the Community may contain limited areas for a public bike and/or walking path within the Community.

 

22.5 Perimeter Screening Wall Disclosure. Certain homesites may contain a perimeter screening wall. While Seller makes no representations regarding whether and to what extent such screening walls will be constructed, any such walls, if constructed, will replace any wood fencing described in any marketing materials dispersed by Seller.

 

22.6 Wrought Iron Fence Disclosure. Certain homesites may contain a wrought iron fence. While Seller makes no representations regarding whether or to what extent such wrought iron fences will be constructed, any such fences, if constructed, will make up part of the rear yard or side yard fencing on homes adjacent or backing to the flood plain or open space.

 

22.7 Road Improvements. Plans may exist for certain improvements to roads in or around the Community. Seller has no control over the timing of completion of the road improvements. The construction area may affect the entrances of the Community from time to time, and some lane closures may be necessary. Seller regrets any inconveniences and disruptions during this process but believes the Community will all be able to enjoy the improved roadway once the work is complete. During the period when these improvements, if any, are under construction there will be traffic hazards, interferences and inconveniences along the roads resulting from such construction. For additional information, please contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

22.8 Road Improvements. The Texas Department of Transportation currently has plans for improvements to Interstate 35 and Highway 21. Seller has no control over the timing of completion of the work. The construction area may affect the entrances of the Community from time to time, and some lane closures will be necessary. Seller regrets any inconveniences and disruptions during this process, including without limitation, increased noise, dust and alternate traffic patterns, but believes the Community will enjoy the improved roadway once the work is complete. During the period when these improvements, if any, are under construction there will be traffic hazards, interferences and inconveniences along these sections of Interstate 35 and Highway 21 resulting from such construction.

 

22.9 Major Public Roads. The Community is located near portions of Yarrington Road, Interstate 35, and Highway 21. These roads may experience heavy traffic during certain times of the day.

 

22.10 Airport. Approximately 1.5 miles from the southwestern edge of the Community is the San Marcos Regional Airport. Some flights landing at or taking off from the airport currently pass over the Community. Jets, helicopters or other aircraft may be seen or heard overhead from the Homesite or even from within the Home. The City of San Marcos may, in the future, expand the airport and its operations.

 

22.11 Agricultural Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that properties adjacent to Community are neither owned nor controlled by Seller. Some of the area around the Community may be rural in nature and there may be certain agricultural operations that Buyer may, depending upon Buyer’s sensitivity, find to be an inconvenience or a nuisance. Such uses may also include hunting, fishing, and target shooting. Such agricultural uses sometimes involve the use of manure, chemical fertilizers, herbicides, insecticides, and rodenticides, which at times may be offensive, especially to sensitive people. Buyer is advised to take the time to drive around the area to ensure that Buyer is satisfied with all agricultural and other uses. Seller is not responsible for odors, noise or other nuisances that may originate from these adjacent properties.

 

22.12 Wild Animals. As a result of the open spaces and bodies of water in and around the Community, Buyer may periodically find wild animals within the confines of the Community including, but not limited to, skunks, armadillos, nutria, opossums, deer, raccoons, spiders, snakes, bees, fire ants, alligators and other reptiles and other insects common to the area. Contact with any wild animal can be dangerous. Should Buyer encounter any such animal, Buyer is encouraged to contact Buyer’s local animal control office for further instructions.

 

22.13 Unzoned Area With Livestock. The Home and/or Community may adjoin property that is not zoned and, as such, the property is not subject to and not limited by, city codes prohibiting livestock including, but not limited to, chickens, horses, cattle, etc.

 

22.14 Communications Tower. A communications tower may exist near or adjacent to the Community. Buyer acknowledges that Seller does not own the communications tower and that it may cause inconsistencies or disruptions with Buyer’s use of electronic equipment and/or device.

22.15 Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. A sanitary sewer lift station will exist near or within the Community. This lift station may emit odors at certain times. Any questions regarding the lift station should be directed to the county or municipality in which the Home is located.

 

22.16 Rock Quarry. One or more rock mining quarries (collectively the “Quarry”) operates approximately 1.5 miles from the northern edge of the Community and approximately 1.6 miles from the eastern edge of the Community. Due to the Community’s close proximity to the Quarry, the Community may be affected by the natural consequence of having the Quarry being located and operated nearby including the emission of loud noise, vibration, dust, unpleasant odor, natural gas and/or other chemicals as a result of blasting, heavy machinery operations and truck traffic entering and exiting the Quarry during all hours. Seller cannot guarantee that noise, vibration, odors or gaseous or chemical emissions will not be noted in the future and is not responsible for excessive noise, odors or other nuisances which might result from the operations of this Quarry and truck traffic entering and exiting the Quarry during daytime and nighttime hours.

 

22.17 School Assignments. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that school age children may not be assigned to the public school closest to their residences. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer has not relied on any verbal or other representations from Seller or its representatives with respect to public school assignments. Buyer is responsible for Buyer’s own investigation of public school assignments and other matters controlled by the relevant independent school district(s). Buyer should contact the relevant independent school district(s) directly for the most current public school assignments.

 

22.18 Water Wells. Buyer understands that the Community contains one or more water wells (collectively, the “Water Wells”). Buyer acknowledges that Seller has no control over any past, current, or future uses of the Water Wells and makes no representation regarding the Water Wells, including what purposes the Water Wells serve or served and whether the Water Wells are abandoned, plugged, or capped. Buyer understands that there is a risk that unused Water Wells, if applicable, contain, or at one point may have contained, contaminants, which may impact other wells or groundwater. For additional information concerning the Water Wells, including any potential impact to the Community or the Home, Buyer is encouraged to contact the Texas Water Development Board and/or local governing authorities.

 

22.19 Septic Systems. Buyer understands that the Community contains one or more septic systems (collectively, the “Septic Systems”). Buyer acknowledges that Seller has no control over any past, current, or future uses of the Septic Systems and makes no representation regarding the Septic Systems, including what purposes the Septic Systems serve or served and whether the Septic Systems are closed or abandoned.

22.26 Streetlights. Numerous streetlights will be installed within the Community, many of which will be installed after homes have been completed, sold and occupied. Streetlights are sized and placed in accordance with governmental requirements, and could in some instances generate light in or obstruct views from homes in the Community. Information about streetlight size, light output, design and location of streetlights within the Community can be obtained from the New Home Consultant.

 

Buyer acknowledges that: (i) Seller is not responsible for the installation and activation of the streetlights within the Community and specifically disclaims any responsibility therefor; (ii) Seller does not control the streetlights (existing, planned or future), and (iii) any representations or warranties which relate to street lighting contained within or associated with the Community shall not be construed as representations or warranties made by Seller. Buyer agrees that it will not rely upon such representations or warranties in determining whether to purchase the Home located within the Community. Seller has no control or influence over the installation and activation of the street lighting. Seller, on behalf of itself, its agents, servants, employees, members, managers, directors, officers, affiliates, representatives, receivers, subsidiaries, predecessors, successors and assigns, specifically disclaims any and all warranties concerning the installation and activation of street lighting within or with regard to the Community not performed, installed, activated by or under the direction of Seller. Buyer agrees to look solely to the responsible third party with respect to any matters regarding the installation and activation of street lighting within the Community.

 

22.27 Disclaimer Regarding Security Services. Neither the Declarant (as defined in the Declaration) nor the Seller are responsible for providing security or security services for the Community. All persons using or occupying any portion of the Community are responsible for their own security and the security of their own property. Neither the Declarant nor the Seller shall be liable in any way on account of loss, damage or injury resulting from lack of security, or the lack of effectiveness of any security measures undertaken. Neither Declarant nor Seller make any representations or warranties, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose, relative to any fire protection system and/or burglar alarm systems, or other security systems, recommended or installed or any security measures undertaken within the Community. For more information, Buyer should refer to the Document Book, or contact the Association.

 

22.28 Open Area Disclosure. Certain open spaces in the Community may have been dedicated to the Association. The Association may provide landscape maintenance to these areas as called for in the Document Book. Maintenance will consist of regular mowing, irrigation and weed control. Seller makes no commitments or assurances, stated or implied, as to the aesthetic finish-out of the open area landscape. For more information, please refer to the Document Book.

 

22.29 Future Commercial/Retail Uses. The Community may be located adjacent to properties which will be developed with major commercial and retail uses in the future. The development of such uses adjacent to the Community may increase traffic volumes, noise, outdoor lighting, pedestrian activity and other similar impacts resulting from commercial development.

 

22.30 Development of Adjacent Property. Seller’s current development plans for the Community where the Home and Homesite are located may change and no representations or warranties are made concerning the development of the Community, or any property adjacent to, surrounding, or near such Community. Buyer acknowledges that sales and marketing information may show amenities which may be constructed at the time of purchase, and which may not be included in the final community. Buyer also acknowledges that the responsibility for constructing certain amenities may rest with parties other than Seller, and Seller has no obligation to Buyer to ensure the construction of any such amenities. The terms of this subsection shall survive Closing.

 

23. Risk of Unauthorized Cyber Access. Certain devices, machines, appliances, equipment or systems (“Devices”) which are installed in the Home may include technology that allows such Devices to be accessed through the internet or other wireless technology. These Devices may include, without limitation, virtual assistant and voice activated devices, doorbell monitoring devices, water monitoring systems, remote door access systems (including garage doors), and environmental control systems. These Devices may allow a third party to gain unauthorized access to the Devices and control or access them without the Buyer’s knowledge or permission. Additionally, such Devices may be used to propagate malware or gain access to other Devices, the Home, networks, computers and Buyer’s data contained thereon. Depending on the technology included, the Devices may also carry a risk that verbal communications may be heard by unauthorized third parties or be inadvertently sent to third parties through a voice-activated Device. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the level of security and protection suitable for all Devices connected to any network in the Home, for configuring all relevant equipment to provide appropriate security, and for taking any other security measures Buyer deems necessary or appropriate in connection with such Devices, even if such Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller’s direction. Seller makes no representation, and shall have no liability, for any data breaches, malware attacks, network intrusions, physical intrusions, privacy intrusions, cyber-attacks, theft, or other risks related to the Devices, even if such Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller’s direction.

 

24. Regulatory and Governmental Approvals. The Community plans have or will be approved by the local governing authorities, as necessary. Future development of the Community may be subject to additional approvals. For more information on the approvals required and pending in the Community, Buyer should contact the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community.

 

 
Page 9 of 14

 

 

25. Public Financing of Capital Improvements. The local governing bodies may finance certain capital improvements in the Community, may issue bonds in connection with such financing and may create one or more special tax districts within the Community to provide for repayment of such bonds.

 

26. Notice Regarding Potential Annexation. The Homesite may be located outside the limits of a municipality. Therefore, the Homesite may now or later be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality and may now or later be subject to annexation by the municipality. Each municipality maintains a map that depicts its boundaries and extraterritorial jurisdiction. To determine if the Homesite is located within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction or is likely to be located within a municipality’s extraterritorial jurisdiction, contact all municipalities located in the general proximity of the Community for further information.

 

27. Public Improvement District Disclosure. The Buyer of this parcel of real property may be obligated to pay an assessment to a municipality or county for an improvement project undertaken by a public improvement district under Subchapter A, Chapter 372, Local Government Code or Chapter 382, Local Government Code. The assessment may be due annually or in periodic installments. More information concerning the amount of the assessment and the due dates of that assessment may be obtained from the municipality or county levying the assessment. The amount of the assessments is subject to change. Buyer’s failure to pay the assessments could result in a lien on and the foreclosure of Buyer’s property.

 

28. Prices/Market Values. Seller, and any other builder in the Community, shall have the unilateral right to establish prices for the homes it builds in the Community. Seller and any other builder in the Community may, at its sole discretion, increase or decrease the price or the price per square foot for any home, homesite or option at any time, or offer incentives for sales of homesites and homes, all without notice to Buyer. Once Buyer has signed the Agreement establishing a price for the Home, the prices for any subsequent changes or upgrades to the Home as requested by Buyer, including but not limited to design, floor plan, options, materials or otherwise, are subject to change by Seller until a written and signed agreement on the price is reached by Seller and Buyer for such change or upgrade. Seller makes no representations or warranties that the price for the Home or options in the Home will be increased or decreased for other buyers of identical or similar homes or options. Seller also makes no representations or warranties that changes or options made by Buyer will or will not increase or decrease the market value of the Home, and Buyer understands and agrees that such upgrades or options may not increase or may actually decrease the market value of the Home. The Home is being sold for residential purposes and not as an investment.

 

29. Variations to Construction. Construction of a home is a unique and challenging endeavor with several thousand components that include both natural and man-made products. Some variations will need to be made during the construction process. Moreover, some fine-tuning will be required after Buyer moves into the Home. New homes will always have a certain amount of shrinkage and cracking during their early lives as materials dry out, soils settle, and the Home “settles in.” Seller will address those issues under the terms of the Limited Warranty provided to Buyer.

 

30. Real Estate Tax Disclosure. Buyer should not rely on the Seller’s current property taxes as the amount of property taxes that the Buyer may be obligated to pay in the year subsequent to purchase. A change of ownership or property improvements triggers reassessments of the Home that could result in higher property taxes. Seller is not responsible for communicating any information regarding real estate taxes (current or future) and cannot and will not predict what the taxes on the Home may be. Buyer should confirm any information provided concerning appraisals, tax valuation, tax rates or other tax-related questions with Buyer’s personal tax advisor and the local taxing authorities.

 

31. Environmental Disclaimer. Various environmental related conditions may exist within or near the Home, including, without limitation, radon gas, odors, formaldehyde, mold, pollution from air, water and soil, and/or electro-magnetic fields that are produced from electric lines that are at or near the Home. The Texas Department of Health and the United States Environmental Protection Agency have expressed concern that prolonged exposure to high levels of radon gas and/or formaldehyde may result in adverse effects on human health. The Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding any such environmental related condition(s) within or near the Home. Prior to closing, Buyer shall have the opportunity, at Buyer’s cost, to conduct such inspections and tests as reasonably necessary for Buyer to determine whether the environmental matters and risks related thereto, if any, are acceptable to Buyer. Buyer shall obtain Seller’s written approval prior to conducting any inspections or tests and Buyer hereby releases Seller from any and all liability and claims with respect to the presence of environmental pollutants.

 

32. Indoor Environmental Quality Disclosure. There are many different types of indoor environmental contaminants, such as pet dander, dust mites and mold. Molds and other potential contaminants have been a part of our environment for millions of years. Contaminants are everywhere, indoors and outdoors. Therefore, everyone is exposed to some contaminants on a daily basis without evident harm. Due to a number of factors, including the fact that sensitivities to various types of molds and other potential contaminants vary from person to person, there are no state or federal standards concerning acceptable levels of exposure to mold. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the American Lung Association, some diseases or illness have been linked with biological pollutants in the indoor environment, including some forms of mold. However, many of these conditions also have causes unrelated to the indoor environment. Therefore, it is unknown how many potential health problems relate exclusively to poor indoor air. Buyer should determine for himself/herself whether Buyer, Buyer’s family members or any other individuals who will occupy or use the Home have special needs or increased risk to these conditions. Buyer should carefully monitor the conditions in the Home for mold growth and other contaminants.

 

When excessive moisture or water accumulates indoors, mold growth can and will occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains unaddressed. There is no practical way to eliminate all molds or mold spores in an indoor environment. The key to controlling indoor mold growth is to control moisture.

 

 
Page 10 of 14

 

 

There are many ways to help control moisture in and beneath the Home. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the American Lung Association and others recommend taking measures such as those listed below to help control moisture in and beneath the Home. The following list is not meant to be all-inclusive.

 

o

Fix leaking plumbing and any other source of unwanted water immediately.

 

 

o

Maintain proper indoor humidity. Equipment that conditions the air, such as air conditioners, humidifiers and ventilation systems must be operated year round.

 

 

o

Raise the temperature in areas where moisture condenses on surfaces and open doors between rooms to increase air circulation in the Home, including doors to closets.

 

 

o

Have major appliances, such as furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioners, window air conditioning units, ventilation systems and furnace attached humidifiers inspected, cleaned and serviced regularly by a qualified professional.

 

 

o

Clean and dry refrigerator, air conditioner and dehumidifier drip pans and filters regularly and make sure that refrigerator and freezer doors seal properly.

 

 

o

Keep water away from the foundation of the Home by maintaining required slopes, drainage and keeping plantings and sprinklers the proper distance from the Home.

 

 

o

If there is a sump pump in the Home, inspect it regularly to ensure that it is properly operating.

 

 

o

If there is a crawl space or structural sub-floor, inspect the ground beneath the floor on a regular basis to make sure there is no standing or excessive water. If there is standing or excessive water, seek professional assistance to remove the water. If Buyer is interested in finishing the basement, only do so after consulting an expert to determine the suitability of the basement for a finished area.

 

The following are suggestions that may assist Buyer in preventing and addressing mold growth in the Home.

 

o

It is important that Buyer responds promptly when Buyer sees signs of moisture or mold.

 

 

o

Do not allow moisture to stand or make contact with carpet, furniture and cellulose-based materials, such as wood, drywall or other non-tile, non-plastic or non-metal materials.

 

 

o

Dry all water damaged areas and items immediately to prevent mold growth.

 

 

o

If mold develops, clean up the mold by washing off hard surfaces with detergent and water and completely dry the surface.

 

 

o

Depending upon the nature and extent of the mold infestation, trained professionals may be needed to assist in the remediation effort.

 

 

o

Mold that is not properly and adequately removed may reappear.

 

 

Proper maintenance and cleaning of the Home is the responsibility of each homeowner and will lessen the potential for water intrusion and help to control indoor environmental contaminants. Further, it is the responsibility of each homeowner to monitor their Home on a continual basis for excessive moisture, water and mold accumulation. If Buyer discovers accumulation of water or moisture in, around or under the Home, Buyer should immediately seek to control the source of the water or moisture. Failing to control the source could result in additional damage and the growth of mold. Plumbing leaks and water penetrations that are covered by the Limited Warranty, if any, during the term of the Limited Warranty must be reported to Seller immediately. If the Limited Warranty has expired or does not cover the specific problem, Buyer should not delay in having professionals address the problem. Seller will not be responsible for, and Buyer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Indemnified Parties from and against all Claims in connection with, water-related damages, including personal injuries or property damage caused by mold, but only to extent that the damages are caused by (i) Buyer’s negligence, (ii) Buyer’s failure to promptly take appropriate corrective measures and minimize any damages caused by the water or moisture, or (iii) Buyer’s failure to promptly provide Seller with notice of the water or moisture and give Seller an opportunity to dry the water or moisture and remediate, if necessary, any moisture conditions in the Home caused by improper construction. Buyer also agrees to waive all rights of subrogation for damages resulting from water-related damages, mold growth, any personal injuries, or any remediation resulting from (i) Buyer’s negligence, (ii) Buyer’s failure to promptly take appropriate corrective measures and minimize any damages caused by the water or moisture, or (iii) Buyer’s failure to promptly provide Seller with notice of the water or moisture and give Seller an opportunity to dry the water or moisture and remediate, if necessary, any moisture conditions in the Home caused by improper construction.

 

33. Installation of Swimming Pool and/or Decking. Buyer understands and acknowledges that should Buyer choose to install a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping at the Home, that this installation could have an adverse impact with regard to the Home’s foundation and could void the Limited Warranty on Buyer’s Home. Specifically, Seller has constructed the Home in accordance with recommendations of a geotechnical engineer that requires positive drainage away from the Home. The installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping without providing for positive drainage away from the foundation of the Home could result in serious impacts on the Home’s foundation. This could result in a voiding of the Limited Warranty on the Home. For additional information, Buyer should refer to the Limited Warranty. Further, should Buyer choose to install a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping at the Home, Buyer acknowledges that it may be necessary to relocate certain electrical lines that run underground and Buyer agrees to be solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the electrical lines (whether relocation or otherwise). Buyer further hereby acknowledges that:

 

33.1 Buyer is responsible for maintaining proper grading and drainage of the Home.

 

 
Page 11 of 14

 

 

33.2 Buyer is responsible for ensuring that any installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping does not adversely impact and shall properly maintain the grading and drainage of the Home.

 

33.3 The installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping could result in serious impacts on the Home’s foundation and could void the Limited Warranty on the Home.

 

33.4 Buyer is solely responsible for any and all costs associated with the potential impact of the installation of a swimming pool, decking and/or landscaping on the electrical lines at the Home (whether relocation or otherwise).

 

34. Construction and Sales Activities. BUYER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SOME AREAS OF THE COMMUNITY MAY BE UNDER DEVELOPMENT FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. INCIDENT TO THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS, THE QUIET ENJOYMENT OF THE COMMUNITY MAY BE UNAVOIDABLY INTERFERED WITH TO SOME EXTENT BY THE CONSTRUCTION OPERATIONS. Construction, development and sales activities in the Community will likely occur after Buyer has taken occupancy of Buyer’s Home. Depending upon Buyer’s sensitivities, this may result in some inconvenience to Buyer and Buyer’s family and guests due to increased noise, dust, road closures, operation of the model homes and sales offices, and other activities. Construction activities can occur at various hours throughout the day, and sales activities can result in additional traffic and visitors throughout the Community, particularly before the Community is completely built out. Neither Seller nor any other builder that may be active in the Community can guarantee that Buyer will not be affected or impacted as a result of the overall construction and development of the Community. Seller gives no guarantees or assurances on the active time of the Community model homes. Homesites across the street or next to the model homes may remain undeveloped until Seller determines that these homesites are no longer needed for marketing purposes.

 

34.1 Views. Future development and construction activities within, adjacent to, or near the Community can and will modify the view from homesites (including but not limited to the Homesite). Trees and other foliage may be added or removed from lots or common areas of the Community. Additional housing and other improvements will be added within the Community, and may be added near or adjacent to the Community. Because future development and construction activities within, adjacent to, or near the Community will modify views from homesites, Seller does not warrant or guarantee any existing views will be maintained in the future relative to the Home.

 

35. Landscaping.

 

35.1 Trees and Foliage. The Community may contain numerous native trees of various sizes and varieties. While Seller has taken great care during the planning and construction of the Community to save trees, future development and construction will require the removal of additional trees, shrubs and other foliage and, therefore, Seller does not guarantee the preservation of any trees, shrubs, ground cover or other foliage in the Community or Buyer’s Homesite, and cannot be responsible for short or long-term damages to foliage due to construction or development activities. Seller makes no representation or warranty that trees on the Homesite being purchased or any other homesite or common area in the Community will not be removed. Buyer acknowledges that the condition of any trees on the Home will have no effect on any premiums that may have been charged due to size or location of the Home. All care and maintenance of foliage on an individual homesite is the responsibility of the homeowner, and Seller does not guarantee or warranty the survival of any foliage. Buyer understands that trees located in the undeveloped areas of the Community and those situated on adjacent properties may be cleared as development progresses into future phases. The Document Book may contain restrictions regarding the removal of any tree over a certain size. In addition, the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community may have adopted certain tree ordinances regulating the removal of any tree over a certain size. Buyer should contact the Association or the local governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Community to ensure that its regulations are adhered to.

 

35.2 Sodded Parkway. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the sodded parkway, if any, may not contain irrigation. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that this area may require additional watering and that this is Buyer’s responsibility.

 

35.3 Maintenance of Greenbelt. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that the Community may contain a greenbelt and/or pond areas that are owned and controlled by the Association and/or developer. Maintenance of these areas is currently handled by the Association and/or developer.

 

35.4 Landscaping Disclosure and Warranty. All grading, fill, removal of existing trees and shrubs and control of water flow will be performed and completed at Seller’s sole discretion. Seller’s landscape package shall be limited to the features reflected in Seller’s Feature Sheet, and shall be subject to the following:

 

35.4.1 Rough grading of the yard will conform to natural contours, the grading plan for the Community, and will direct flow of water away from the Home’s foundation.

 

 
Page 12 of 14

 

 

35.4.2 Final grade of Homesite will remove large surface rocks only.

 

35.4.3 Seller does not warrant any of the landscaping or any of the natural or existing trees and shrubs. Seller will not be responsible for water damage resulting from natural erosion or erosion caused by changes in grade by Buyer or any owner of the Home. Due to the fact that Seller cannot control the care of landscaping and ground cover installed at the Home, Seller offers no warranty on such items. It will be important that Buyer carefully inspect all shrubs, trees and ground cover at the time of Buyer’s New Home Orientation in order to insure satisfaction. Once Buyer has closed on the Home, it will be Buyer’s responsibility to care for and to protect all such items from disease, acts of nature and other such damage.

 

36. Disclosures Affecting the Home.

 

36.1 Washing Machine/Drain Pan. If the utility room in the Home is located on the second floor, it may be difficult to maneuver the washer and dryer into the utility room. Buyer understands that the washing machine must be lifted approximately three (3) inches off the floor and placed into the washing machine drain pan. The washing machine drain pan can be damaged if the appliance is not installed correctly. It is Buyer’s responsibility to ensure proper installation of the washer and dryer.

 

36.2 Engineered Flooring. Buyer understands that the subfloor supporting the second story, if any, was designed using standard live and dead loads. These designs are not intended to support high point-load items such as waterbeds or pool tables. The placement of waterbeds, pool tables, or any other high point- load furniture on the second story will void the warranty on the floor system including, but not limited to, floor pops or squeaks, sheetrock cracks, humps or dips, and unlevelness.

 

36.3 Attic Disclosure. Buyer acknowledges that the attic system contains designated areas for attic storage. Placing items in the attic for storage in non-designated areas is strongly discouraged and not recommended and can result in damage to the Home for which Seller is not liable.

 

36.4 General Cabinet Disclaimer. Buyer acknowledges that the cabinets may have characteristics that can affect the coloring and shading of the finished cabinets. These variances include, but are not limited to, staining color and shading variances. Buyer acknowledges that Seller will not be responsible for any variances in the color, shading, etc. of these cabinets and no alterations or changes will be made to the cabinets regarding these cosmetic issues. Buyer further acknowledges that Seller will only address workmanship issues with regards to the kitchen cabinets.

 

36.5 Wallpaper Disclosure. Except as is expressly reflected in the Feature Sheets for the Community in which the Home is located, the Home will not be furnished with interior wallpaper. Furthermore, since the walls will not be finished with interior wallpaper, Buyer acknowledges that such walls will be textured and painted in lieu of any wallpaper consideration.

 

36.6 Insect Disclosure. The Home is being constructed with pressure treated base plates and a plastic moisture barrier. The primary function of these materials is to resist moisture decay. In addition, these applications can lessen the ability of wood-destroying insects to damage the Home.

 

36.7 Garages. Garage sizes and heights may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. It is not uncommon for floor plans to change during actual construction of the Home. Specific homesite conditions or local ordinances may determine the (i) location of safety bollards intended to protect plumbing or mechanical systems located inside the garage and/or (ii) design of steps from the garage to the Home thereby affecting the usability of interior garage space available for parking vehicles. Further, Buyer acknowledges and agrees that stated floor plan dimensions and square footages are approximate and should never be relied upon as the actual as-built size of the garage; modifications to floor plan dimensions and square footages shown in sales materials may occur for many circumstances, without notice to or consent of Buyer, including but not limited to, inclusions of options and upgrades, actual field conditions and governmental agency requirements.

 

Buyer should further be aware that the garage orientation is predetermined by Seller. This decision is based on engineering, easements, and utility considerations, as well as maximizing the Homesite and the appearance of street scene in the Community.

 

36.8 Gang/Cluster Mailboxes. Buyer hereby acknowledges that the mailboxes serving the homes in Community may be installed as “gang/cluster mailboxes” in the Community common areas and in such event individual mailboxes will not be installed separately on Buyer’s Homesite or on any other individual homesites in the Community. Neither Seller nor the Association will be responsible for any issues whatsoever, including any inconvenience to Buyer which might result from the location, installation, maintenance and use of gang/cluster mailboxes, or the delivery and pick up of mail to and from such gang/cluster mailboxes in the Community, as may be required by the United States Postal Service.

 

37. Burning of Candles. Burning of candles inside the Home can cause severe damage to carpet, walls, clothing, furniture and everything else in the Home. The damage resulting from candle burning may be affected by the number and/or type of candle(s) burned. Buyer understands that Seller will not warrant or remedy the effects of candle burning and will not be responsible for any damage done to the Home, or the contents thereof, due to candle burning. This unwarranted damage includes, but is not limited to, soot build-up, discoloration, “shadowing” and streaking. Seller explicitly states that candles should not be burned inside of the Home.

 

 
Page 13 of 14

 

 

38. Access Prior to Closing. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Buyer may not: (i) store an item on or in the Homesite prior to closing; (ii) install any item on or in the Home or Homesite prior to closing such as speaker wire, flatwork, interior or exterior paint, landscaping, etc.; or (iii) park in the driveway of the Home or any home under construction.

 

39. Statements Made by Sales Staff and Brokers. Seller wants to ensure that Seller and Buyer are in full agreement on all terms and conditions relating to the Agreement. To best ensure that there are no misunderstandings, Buyer should ensure that all terms and conditions (including all statements, representations, or understandings upon which Buyer relies in purchasing the Home) are set forth in writing in the Agreement. If there are any statements, representations or understandings which are made by a sales staff person or any other representative of Seller which are material to Buyer’s decision to purchase, Buyer should insist that any such statement, representation or understanding is put in writing and contained in the Agreement. Seller reserves the right to reject the Agreement notwithstanding the inclusion of any such item in the Agreement.

 

40. Addendum not a Substitute. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that this Addendum is not a substitute for reading the entire Document Book. For a more detailed explanation of any section contained in this Addendum, refer to the Document Book.

 

41. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

42. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

43. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda or riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

Buyer’s Initials

 

 

 

3.3 Manufacturer’s Warranty Disclaimer. SELLER ASSIGNS AND PASSES THROUGH TO BUYER THE MANUFACTURERS’ WARRANTIES FOR ALL APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS INCLUDED IN THE HOME AND SELLER MAKES NO WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT THERETO. SELLER DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ON ANY APPLIANCE AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF USE, FITNESS OF USE, WORKMANSHIP OR QUALITY. SELLER SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY TO THE APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS OR FOR ANY DAMAGES OR INJURY CAUSED BY THE APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS. THE TERM “APPLIANCES AND CONSUMER PRODUCTS” MEANS ALL APPLIANCES, WATER HEATERS, AIR CONDITIONERS, BURGLAR ALARMS, STOVES, REFRIGERATORS, DISHWASHERS AND OTHER ITEMS DEFINED AS CONSUMER PRODUCTS BY 15 U.S.C. § 2301 OR 16 C.F.R. § 702 WHICH ARE OR WILL BE INSTALLED IN THE HOME. SELLER’S DISCLAIMER OF MANUFACTURERS’ WARRANTIES DOES NOT LIMIT OR OTHERWISE AFFECT THE WARRANTY OF ANY MANUFACTURER.

 

4. Changes, Additions and/or Deletions. Seller offers optional features in our homes. However, we do not allow custom changes or deletions to our plans. Seller has designed each of the homes with as much attention to detail as possible. However, it is not possible to design homes that will meet the exact needs of every customer without becoming a “custom” builder. Also, once the Home is started, we cannot allow any changes to color selections after the construction stage cutoff dates maintained by Seller for the Homesite referenced herein, as these items are normally pre-ordered at the start of construction. Please review the Agreement for additional provisions relating to this topic.

5. Use of Other Suppliers and Subcontractors. Due to the provisions of our liability and workers compensation insurance carriers, as well as our contractual agreements with our suppliers and subcontractors, we cannot allow the use of any other suppliers or subcontractors.

 

6. Color Selections. In order to allow sufficient time for our suppliers to order all of the materials to be used in Buyer’s new Home, Seller requests that all color selections be finalized prior to the construction stage cutoff dates maintained by Seller for the Homesite referenced herein. All color selections must be done in writing. Verbal selections will not be accepted by Seller.

 

7. Title Insurance. Buyer is instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer’s cost, an abstract of title for the Property and to have an attorney review it before Closing. Buyer is also instructed and encouraged to obtain, at Buyer’s cost, an owner’s title policy from any title company of Buyer’s choice. If Buyer desires, Buyer may use the title company customarily used by Seller, but it is ultimately Buyer’s choice. Please review the Agreement and the Affiliated Business Arrangement Disclosure Statement for additional provisions related to this topic.

 

8. Selections. If Seller is delivering the Home through a Design Center as indicated in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum, Seller will provide Buyer, when available, with a checklist of color and/or material choices for those items for which Buyer will have a choice, if any (in Seller’s sole discretion). Within thirty (30) days of the Effective Date, or first available appointment with a design consultant, Buyer agrees to personally select upon Seller’s standard forms, and at the location designated by the Seller, any options available for the Home (“Selection Period”). At Seller’s option, Buyer shall pay for any available options chosen by Buyer at the time of selection. If Buyer fails to make the required selections within the Selection Period, Buyer will be deemed to have waived the right to make selections and the Seller may select such options and extras on behalf of the Buyer and complete the Unit. If Buyer waives the right to make sections, Seller shall have the option to (i) declare Buyer in default hereunder, or (ii) charge Buyer the amount of $100 per day to compensate Seller for its additional administrative costs caused by Buyer’s delay. All available options must be selected through Seller. Colors of all items and materials not included in that checklist will be selected by Seller. Buyer shall have no right to make changes after the Selection Period. If Seller agrees in its sole discretion to permit Buyer to make a change after the Selection Period expires, Buyer will be required to pay the cost of such change plus a $1,000 non-refundable administrative fee for each such change.

 

No contractor hired directly by Buyer may enter upon or do work of any kind before Closing. Seller shall not be responsible for any difference or change in color, wood grain, dye lots, tint, shading, discoloration, or tone, etc. between that of samples of options displayed to Buyer, the merchandise ordered, and that delivered and/or installed. This includes but is not limited to cabinets, countertops, wood flooring, tile flooring and grout, marble fireplace surrounds, carpeting, railing and staircase stains, etc. Wood is purchased from all parts of North America; as a result, there may be variations in many superficial characteristics of the timber. Every piece of wood has different characteristics in color and grain resulting in inconsistency of how the various pieces take staining and finishing. Mineral streaks can manifest as shades of black, green, red or white. Black streaks may also be found in maple wood and cherry wood may have “pit marks”. These variations can be very distractive, especially in natural and light stain finishes. The wood of your completed cabinetry and/or flooring may project a different appearance from that of a smaller example, another set of cabinets or a completely different floor. Dimensions of your Home may differ from those reflected in brochures, advertisements, artist’s renderings and marketing floor plans. Actual dimensions may vary upon completion of the Home. Notwithstanding this Section, if Buyer is purchasing a completed home, any selection must take place within forty-eight (48) hours of the Effective Date. Otherwise all other provisions of this Section shall apply.

 

IF HOME IS AN INVENTORY HOME, THEN ALL SELECTIONS FOR THE INVENTORY HOME HAVE BEEN COMPLETED. NO CHANGES IN ANY SELECTION MAY BE MADE TO THE HOME REGARDLESS OF STAGE OF COMPLETION AT PURCHASE.

 

9. Square Footage. Buyer acknowledges that the total square footage and individual dimensions on the plans and specifications are approximations and should not be construed to indicate certainty. Seller makes no guarantee or warranty regarding the precise or actual square footage of the Home. In this regard, elevations and floor plans are merely conceptual, and actual construction will be done according to the latest available blueprints and may vary, and in all events shall be subject to field adjustments as may be deemed appropriate by Seller. Garage sizes may vary from home to home and may not accommodate all vehicles. Should precise square footage measurements be necessary to Buyer, an architect of Buyer’s choosing (and at Buyer’s cost) should be consulted.

 

10. No Communication with Trade Partners or Physical/Verbal Abuse. All matters pertaining to the construction of the Home will be performed by Seller and Seller’s contractors, subcontractors, and other vendors (“Trade Partners”). Buyer is prohibited from instructing or requesting work from the Trade Partners or otherwise hindering the construction of the Home. Buyer will not verbally or physically abuse Seller’s Trade Partners, employees, agents, or any other associated personnel, including without limitation, sales, construction or office personnel. Buyer understands and agrees that, during the building process, Buyer’s primary contact with Seller is the New Home Consultant.

 

11. Loan Lock. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not and will not be responsible for storage and/or moving expenses or expired lock agreements with Buyer’s mortgage company. Buyer further understands that all closing dates are approximate dates for completion of the Home.

 

11.1 Buyer understands that the election to lock an interest rate is strictly between Buyer and the mortgage lender. Due to variations in construction schedules, Seller prohibits the offering of any advice or recommendations regarding the decision to lock interest rates.

 

 
Page 2 of 4

 

 

11.2 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that Seller is not responsible should Buyer’s loan lock expire before closing of escrow. Buyer further acknowledges and agrees that failure to close escrow resulting from a change in mortgage rates may be considered a breach of contract per the terms of the Agreement.

 

12. Cooperation with Closing Agent. Buyer agrees to promptly provide closing agent all information and documentation that either closing agent or the title insurance company is required to obtain by law, including any requirements of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Buyer’s failure to cooperate with or provide information to the closing agent or otherwise comply with U.S. Department of the Treasury requirements shall be a default.

 

13. Subsequent Payment of Initial Deposit. If Buyer has not already paid the Initial Deposit at the time Seller accepts the Agreement, Buyer will make the Initial Deposit within twenty-four (24) hours of when this Agreement is accepted by Seller (“Subsequent Payment”). When a Subsequent Payment is required, any provisions in the Agreement which state that an Initial Deposit has already been provided to or received by Seller are revised to state that Buyer has chosen a method of payment that will require Buyer to make a Subsequent Payment.

 

14. Debit/Credit Card Deposit. If Buyer makes the Initial Deposit using a credit or debit card (“Card Deposit”), Buyer will, upon Seller’s request, provide the last 4-digits of the card to Seller and the title company conducting the Closing. At least one person that is a Buyer must be the cardholder. If the card deposit is a credit card deposit, it is subject to Seller’s acceptance. Buyer must provide evidence to Buyer’s lender no later than (10) business days prior to Closing that the credit card deposit has been paid off out of Buyer’s own funds. Such evidence shall include, but is not limited to, credit card and bank statements.

 

15. Further Actions. Buyer and Seller will execute all instructions and documents required to correct any clerical errors or to effectuate the purchase and sale contemplated by this Agreement.

 

16. Buyer Releases Seller from Damages Caused by Buyer Improvements and Alterations. Before Buyer installs any post-closing improvements to or on the Homesite including, but not limited to, pools, spas, planters, sidewalks, decks, patios, patio covers, room additions, sprinklers, landscaping, and other alterations (collectively “Buyer Improvements”), Buyer agrees to retain all appropriate professional consultants including a licensed architect and a civil, soil or structural engineer (“Buyer Improvement Experts”) and to design and construct the Buyer Improvements in accordance with such experts’ advice and specifications as well as all local building codes and processes. The Homesite was designed and constructed to support the residence and any Homesite improvements delivered with the residence (collectively, “Seller Delivered Improvements”), with the expectation that Buyer will consult such Buyer Improvement Experts before designing or constructing any Buyer Improvements. Even if Buyer takes such steps, Buyer should expect that Buyer Improvements may be damaged or cause damages to the Homesite and Seller Delivered Improvements, and may cause issues such as subsidence, earth movement, foundation cracks and failure, slab/foundation tilt, deflection, erosion, improper drainage, lateral fill extension, slope creep, corrosion, spalling, efflorescence, and water intrusion which can cause major damages to the Buyer Improvements, Seller Delivered Improvements, and Homesite.

 

Buyer assumes all risks relating to Buyer Improvements and releases and waives all deficiencies, losses, liabilities, claims, damages, expenses, obligations, penalties, actions, judgments, awards, suits, costs or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever, including attorneys’ fees and expenses (“Claims”) against Seller and its affiliates, and the officers, directors, employees, contractors, consultants and agents of each of them (“Released Parties”) arising from or in any way related to Buyer Improvements, including Claims for bodily injury, death, property damage, economic loss, and diminution in value including Claims that may not be anticipated at this time. To the extent such damages to the Seller Delivered Improvements or Homesite arise out of or relate to Buyer Improvements, any express warranties provided by Seller on the damaged components are void and released by Buyer unless such warranties are required by law and are not permitted to be modified or released.

 

17. Homesite Transfer Fee. Seller may, in its sole discretion, allow Buyer to instead purchase a different homesite by agreeing to revise the Purchase and Sale Agreement or enter into a new Purchase and Sale Agreement. If Seller agrees to such change in homesite, Buyer will be required to pay Seller a transfer fee in the amount of Twenty-Five Hundred Dollars ($2,500.00) (“Transfer Fee”). Buyer hereby agrees to pay such Transfer Fee to Seller upon Buyer’s execution of such new documentation. Buyer understands that such Transfer Fee shall not be a part of the Deposit and the Transfer Fee shall be non-refundable (unless otherwise provided in any FHA/VA Addendum, if applicable).

 

18. Counterparts. This Rider B shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Rider B electronically to the other party.

 

19. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Rider B and the Agreement, this Rider B shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

20. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Rider B and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Rider B or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

ENERGY ADDENDUM

 

THIS ENERGY ADDENDUM(this “Addendum”) is, by this reference, made part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, “Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”).

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Energy Claims. In the marketing of the Home/Unit, certain verbal or written statements may have been made, including but not limited to statements contained in advertising and marketing material, relating to the energy efficiency, energy consumption, energy savings or energy costs of the Home/Unit. Buyer acknowledges that any such statements were estimates only and were developed by third parties based upon the design of the Home/Unit and/or various indices. Actual Home/Unit energy savings will vary due to, among numerous other factors, construction variances, floor plan, occupancy, appliance usage, thermostat settings, weather conditions, maintenance and orientation of the Home/Unit. Seller provides no guarantee of savings that will be achieved by each homeowner.

 

3. HERS Index. Based on an analysis of the home’s plans, a third party Home Energy Rater uses an energy efficiency software package to perform an energy analysis of the home’s design. This analysis yields a projected, pre-construction HERS (“Home Energy Rating System) Index. The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (“RESNET”) in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower a home’s HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home. Each 1-point decrease in the HERS Index corresponds to an estimated 1% increase in energy efficiency compared to the HERS Reference Home. For any home with a HERS Index rating, the Buyer understands and agrees that the rating is not to be construed as a guarantee of energy savings or consumption levels. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy of the HERS Index.

 

4. Certification Program. In connection with the sale of the Home/Unit, Seller may have used a third party to certify that the Home/Unit was designed to certain guidelines (“Certification Program”). Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding any aspect of the Certification Program. Buyer acknowledges that the third party estimate is based upon analytical methods and not necessarily testing of the Home/Unit.

 

5. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

6. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

7. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

CONNECTED HOME ADDENDUM

 

THIS CONNECTED HOME ADDENDUM(this “Addendum”) is, by this reference, made part of the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, “Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”) and applies to Units/Homes (hereinafter “Homes”) built under Lennar’s Home Automation Program.

 

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Seller Does Not Provide Internet Connectivity. Buyer is responsible for engaging an outside service provider to provide internet connectivity to the Home. All such service providers are third parties operating outside of Seller’s control and Seller makes no representations regarding any such providers or any services provided by or through same. All contracts and service agreements relating to internet connectivity are between the Buyer and third parties, and Seller shall have no liability or responsibility in connection with such agreements or services.

 

THE BUYER UNDERSTANDS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE BUYER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DETERMINING THEIR INTERNET BANDWIDTH REQUIREMENTS. WIRELESS EQUIPMENT PRE-INSTALLED IN THE HOME ONLY PROVIDES CONNECTIVITY INSIDE THE HOME. SELLER HAS NO CONTROL OVER, AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR, CONNECTION SPEEDS BETWEEN THE HOME AND THE INTERNET, OR THE RELIABILITY OF SUCH CONNECTIONS, OR ANY CONNECTIVITY, RELIABILITY, OR BANDWIDTH ISSUES ARISING FROM OUTSIDE THE HOME OR FROM THE BUYER’S INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER. THE BUYER ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT CERTAIN ACTIVITIES MAY REQUIRE CONNECTION SPEEDS THAT ARE GREATER THAN THAT SUPPORTED BY WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES. IF THE BUYER REQUIRES HIGHER SPEEDS A WIRED CONNECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN ADDITION TO ANY PRE-INSTALLED WIRELESS EQUIPMENT.

 

3. Wireless and Internet Devices.

 

3.1 Devices. Pursuant to the Agreement, Buyer shall receive certain machines, appliances, equipment, systems and wireless and/or internet devices (“Smart Devices”) with the purchase of the Home. Seller reserves the right to, without notice, change or substitute Smart Devices, which in Seller’s opinion are considered to be of quality substantially similar or equal, or are of better quality, subject to their availability.

 

3.2 Device Warranties. Smart Devices are subject only to manufacturer warranties, and Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding them. Seller shall have no liability for any manufacturer or third party warranties relating to any Smart Devices. Physical network wiring in the Home will be treated in the same manner as other wiring installed in the Home.

 

3.3 Security, Privacy and Data Breach. To the extent any Smart Devices include any security features or capabilities, the devices may be pre-configured with factory-default security settings. To the extent any such device is not configured, the Buyer is responsible for all configuration and settings. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the security of any Smart Devices or the effectiveness or sufficiency of any default settings, configured settings, or security features provided by such equipment, including effectiveness or sufficiency against attacks or intrusions with respect to Buyer’s safety or privacy. Buyer is responsible for selecting and using strong passwords, controlling access to those passwords and the devices themselves, and for any changes to security settings, passwords or configurations after the date of the Closing.

 

3.4 Buyer’s Requirements, Buyer’s Devices, and Third Party Devices. Seller makes no representations that any wireless equipment or network will be sufficient to meet the Buyer’s needs or requirements. As between Buyer and Seller, configuration, operation, and use of all third party internet connectivity equipment, all Buyer and third party supplied devices and equipment connected to any in-home network by or on behalf of the Buyer are subject only to manufacturers’ warranties, and all related services and agreements are entirely the Buyer’s responsibility and are entirely at the Buyer’s own and sole risk. Seller makes no warranties or representations regarding the Smart Devices or any consequences thereof (including, without limitation, any personal injury or property damage caused by, or related in any manner to, the malfunction thereof), and Buyer shall be solely responsible for monitoring any alerts received on any application that are related to the performance of any Smart Device.

 

3.5 Risk of Unauthorized Cyber Access. Certain Smart Devices which are installed in the Home may include technology that allows such devices to be accessed through the internet or other wireless technology. A third party may gain unauthorized access to the Smart Devices and control or access them without the Buyer’s knowledge or permission. Buyer is solely responsible for determining the level of security and protection suitable for all Smart Devices connected to any network in the Home, for configuring all relevant equipment to provide appropriate security, and for taking any other security measures Buyer deems necessary or appropriate. Seller makes no representation, and shall have no liability, for any data breaches, malware attacks, network intrusions, physical intrusions, privacy intrusions, cyber-attacks, theft, or other risks related to the Smart Devices, even if such Smart Devices are installed by Seller or at Seller’s direction.

 

 
Page 1 of 2

 

 

3.6 Activation and Post-Activation Support. The Smart Devices and related software require, among other things, Buyer to download and use the Smart Devices’ mobile applications and at least one active mobile device that is available for use. Each third party manufacturer, and not Seller, will be responsible for providing support to Buyer in connection with the applicable Smart Device. Seller makes no representations or warranties regarding the support provided by such third party manufacturer, including any monitoring. Buyer’s jurisdiction may require permitting, including a permit fee, for Buyer to obtain professional monitoring of certain Smart Devices, in which case Buyer shall be responsible for obtaining such permit and paying such fee.

 

4. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

5. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL AND MANMADE PRODUCTS

 

THIS ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL AND MANMADE PRODUCTS(this “Addendum”) is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of the Eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, “Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”).

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Exterior Brick and Natural Stone Flooring and Countertops. Natural stones (“Natural Stone”) and bricks (“Brick”) with varying colors and mineral compositions are found in quarries throughout the world. Natural Stone and/or Brick including, without limitation, marble and granite stone types, are therefore products of nature and vary in color, markings, shade, and texture. Buyer acknowledges that neither Natural Stone nor Brick is uniform and that Seller can make no guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Natural Stone or Brick to be used in the Home. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Natural Stone to be used/installed in Buyer’s Home:

 

2.1 Cleaning. Care should be exercised when cleaning Natural Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Stone.

 

2.2 Natural Inconsistencies. Natural Stone contains natural inconsistencies which will be present in Natural Stone flooring and/or countertops in the Home; such natural inconsistencies are normal and are not defects.

 

2.3 Edges and Corners. There may be changes in the patterning of Natural Stone from one edge or corner of the flooring or countertop to another edge or corner; such changes in patterning is normal and is not a defect.

 

2.4 Fissures and Pits. Natural Stone may contain fissures and pits that occur naturally and may appear as a small hole or recess; such fissures and pits are not cracks or defects.

 

2.5 Spots, Freckles, and Rust. Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Natural Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Natural Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

2.6 Seams. Natural Stone is almost never seamless due to the techniques employed to cut the slab of Natural Stone in a way that preserves the maximum beauty of such Natural Stone. Pieces of Natural Stone must therefore be fitted together and the Natural Stone used in the Home will not be seamless and may have visible seams, which are not defects.

 

2.7 Wallboard and Plaster. Natural Stone is cut by machine to be straight. Irregularities occurring in the Home may mean that the installer has to force pieces of Natural Stone into the wallboard or plaster during installation to compensate for the irregularities. Shims, caulking and putty may be used to fill imperfections in walls and floors in order to install Natural Stone flooring and countertops. There may be such shims, caulking and/or putty in the Natural Stone used in the Home, which shims, caulking and/or putty are used to enhance the installation and are not defects.

 

2.8 Staining. Natural Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

2.9 Sink Cabinet. The cabinet directly under the sink may be six (6) inches larger than the sink, as a sink of larger size will preclude adjustment of seams and edges of Natural Stone countertop and may result in a deterioration of the Natural Stone countertop.

 

3. Mortar and Selection of Color and Type of Brick or Natural Stone. Buyer acknowledges that only one color of mortar is available, and that there are no other colors from which to choose. Buyer further acknowledges that the Brick and/or Natural Stone types selected by Buyer, or that has been selected prior to Buyer’s purchase of Home, is final and that no deviations are allowed.

 

4. Cabinet Stain Color. Cabinet stain colors may vary from home-to-home as well as from cabinet-to-cabinet. Buyer acknowledges that same and/or similar types of wood are not man-made and, as such, variations in grain, knots, color, texture and overall appearance may occur. Buyer further acknowledges that stain color on handrail variations may and sometimes do occur due to the aforementioned factors.

 

5. Manmade Products. The Home may include one or more of the following manmade products: carpet, tile and wood flooring; wall and pool wet area tiles; wood cabinets; cultured marble tubs, sinks and countertops; roof tiles; stamped concrete and paver driveways. Buyer acknowledges and agrees that shade variations are inherent in manmade products. Colors of actual manmade products may vary from samples or catalogues and slight color variations may exist from different product runs. Buyer acknowledges that Seller makes no representations or guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the manmade products, or to the suitability or maintenance of any manmade products in the Home. Buyer acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the manmade products to be used/installed in the Home.

 

 
Page 1 of 3

 

 

5.1 Bathroom Fixtures. There may be a variation in shading between bathroom fixtures within the same room, including commodes, sinks, countertops, tubs, and towel bars.

 

5.2 Exterior Finish. Seller may provide an exterior decorative finish with a painted surface. The exterior decorative coating is not a waterproofing material. The proper application of paint and caulking of joints over cement based material and decorative wood components provide for the moisture resistant qualities of the exterior surface of the Home. Buyer acknowledges that repainting of the Home will likely be required at least every five years.

 

5.3 Ceramic Tile. Normal slab settlement may crack ceramic tile and the physical characteristics are conducive to chipping after installation by a number of different causes; subsequent chipping and cracking is unavoidable and not a warrantable item. Buyer will have the opportunity to inspect the Home prior to Closing and Seller requests that Buyer examine any tile floor closely at this time.

 

5.4 Wooden Laminate Cabinets. Wooden laminate cabinets are a popular selection of cabinetry in the home building industry. As the technological and manufacturing processes continue to emerge, what may appear to be a particular species of wood, (i.e., birch, oak, walnut, etc.) may in fact be a veneer over a composition product; stained and finished to resemble a specific species of wood. Buyer acknowledges that wooden laminate cabinets may be manufactured with various manmade products and/or product names used in the manufacturing process. As with other natural materials, wooden laminate cabinets will be affected by environmental factors such as natural and artificial lighting, so Buyer may see the color of such cabinets gradually change and mellow over time. Seams will be visible in the framework of all face frame cabinets, if applicable.

 

5.5 Paver Driveway and Walk. Pavers are an interlocking system supported by the existing earth. White mason sand is used to space the pavers and is meant to wash out in a short time. Pavers are not meant to have grout or mortar joints. Variations in the plane or levelness are expected and normal. The vast majority of elevation variances occur during the first year following installation. Buyer acknowledges that the pavers used to construct the Home’s driveway and walk may be rustic, and no two paving stones are identical in color, texture or finish. Due to normal manufacturing, shipping, handling and installation, pavers may have abrasions, marks and minor staining. Normal weathering can also change the color and texture of the pavers. The most popular finish to be applied to paving stones is a clear sealer. Sealing also helps reduce effervescence, weathering, the penetration of permanent stains and normal wear and tear. The sealing of pavers is a normal maintenance function. Buyer should have a professional install any sealer. Seller recommends that Buyer not install any sealer until Buyer has occupied the Home for thirty (30) days to allow pavers to properly cure. Buyer further acknowledges that the paving stones at the models have not been sealed and have been left in their original condition.

 

6. Manmade Stone. At the option of the Buyer, the Home may include Manmade Stone (“Manmade Stone”) on the exterior of the Home. Buyer acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Manmade Stone to be installed on the Home: the Manmade Stone is (i) not a naturally-occurring stone and (ii) is not a waterproofing material. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Manmade Stone to be used/installed as part of the Home:

 

6.1 Seller may provide an exterior decorative finish with a painted surface. The exterior decorative coating is not a waterproofing material. The proper application of paint and caulking of joints over cement based material and decorative wood components provide for the moisture resistant qualities of the exterior surface of the Home. Buyer acknowledges that repainting of the Home will likely be required at least every five years.

 

6.2 Buyer acknowledges and agrees that shade variations are inherent in Manmade Stone. Colors of the Manmade Stone may vary from samples or catalogues and slight color variations may exist from different product runs. Buyer acknowledges that the Manmade Stone is not uniform and Seller makes no representations or guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Manmade Stone, or to the suitability or maintenance of any Manmade Stone that is made a part of the Home.

 

6.3 Care should be exercised when cleaning Manmade Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean Manmade Stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Manmade Stone.

 

6.4 Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Manmade Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Manmade Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

6.5 Manmade Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Manmade Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

BE INFORMED ADDENDUM

 

THIS BE INFORMED ADDENDUM(this “Addendum”) is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated March 08, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, “Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat, in the Community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”).

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Be Informed. Seller presents this Addendum to Buyer so that Buyer can become familiar with some important aspects of his/her Home and the specific components therein. Please read this Addendum carefully.

 

3. Wood Floors. Wood is a natural product and will have variation in color, texture, uniformity, and grain. This absence of uniformity is what gives wood what is considered its natural beauty, and it is to be expected. If a uniform look is desired, wood should not be considered as a flooring option. Wood flooring or individual planks will not be replaced due to any variations in color, texture, uniformity, or grain.

 

 

o

Wood floors will scratch and indent. If you have pets you may want to carefully consider the use of hard wood floors in your Home.

 

o

Natural color change will occur during the aging process of your wood floor. This is called patina, and is an expected, even desired effect of natural wood.

 

o

High heels will cause severe indentations on hard wood floor. Any damage to wood floors caused by high heels will not be covered under your warranty.

 

o

Do not use Murphy’s Oil Soap or any cleaning products without referring to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual.

 

o

Wood floors must be protected with plywood or another protective barrier whenever furniture or appliances are moved.

 

o

Standing water, steam, or excessive moisture of any kind will severely damage wood floors. Use special care when wood is installed in any kitchen, bath, or utility area. Do not damp-mop wood floors, as it can cause “cupping” and “peaking”, or raising of sides or ends on planks.

 

o

The wood floors are not sanded on the job site. The wood floors are pre-finished and may result in “over boarding” (one plank being slightly higher than another). Flushness of +/- 1/32”, the thickness of a credit card, is considered industry standard and to be expected.

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

3.1 Wood Floors - Maintenance and Care Instructions.

 

 

o

Wood floors require regular maintenance. Examples of regular maintenance include sweeping with a specialty terry cloth flooring mop or using the soft brush attachment on your vacuum cleaner regularly.

 

o

Use throw rugs both inside and outside each exterior doorway to prevent dirt, grit, and debris from being tracked in onto your hardwood floors. This will help prevent scratching.

 

o

Wipe up spills immediately. Refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual for approved surface cleaners (e.g., Mohawk Floor Care Essentials Hard Surface Cleaner) and instructions on proper cleaning techniques. Standing water will raise the grain of the wood and may permanently damage the wood’s surface.

 

o

Use furniture pads on the feet of your furniture to help prevent scuffing and scratching. Do not slide or drag furniture across your hardwood floor. Pick up the furniture completely when moving.

 

o

If hardwood is installed in the kitchen, place an area rug in front of the kitchen sink and dishwasher.

 

o

Keep the temperature and humidity controls on year-round. All hardwood floors can be adversely affected by extreme changes in humidity and temperature. During hot, humid weather a de-humidifier may be required. Although engineered wood floors are less affected than solid wood floors, in the dry, heated winter months humidification may be necessary to prevent surface checking.

 

o

Do not wet mop a hardwood floor, this will raise the grain and may permanently damage the wood’s surface. Refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual for approved cleaning products and proper cleaning techniques.

 

o

Do not wax or polish your hardwood floor.

 

o

Cleaner and a specialty terry cloth flooring mop available from your local Mohawk flooring store. See the store locator for a Mohawk dealer nearest you - http://www.mohawkflooring.com/my-mohawk/find-a-store.aspx.

 

o

For more information related to the maintenance and care of wood floors, refer to your Warranty, Care and Maintenance Manual.

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, Buyer will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to your manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the wood floors.

4. Natural Wood Cabinets. Beautiful wood grain is not manufactured. As a product of many years of natural growth, variations in color and graining showcase the priceless handy work of nature. You will be more satisfied with your purchase if you can make educated decisions to get the best performance from your product. Please read over the following information. It describes factors that Seller and Seller’s cabinet manufacturers cannot control and for which Seller cannot be held responsible.

 

4.1 Wood Characteristics: Color, Grain, and Markings. Natural variations in the wood will be present in all cabinetry, resulting in unique character markings on adjacent cabinets, on pairs of doors, and even within the same panel. Seller points out these unique characteristics of cabinets as a reminder that each piece of wood is different and the varied effect of finished cabinetry will be different from that represented by a sample or display. The variations can be broad; Seller is not responsible for the type or degree of variation in your cabinetry. A completely consistent look cannot be achieved with a finished natural wood.

 

 

o

The tree’s sapwood (outer, living part) is often distinctly different in color from its heartwood (inner, dormant part).

 

o

Small pin knots and some larger knots can form during the tree’s natural pruning process of eliminating adventitious buds and limbs.

 

o

Most woods have a uniform texture and are generally strait grained, but can also have “curly”, “fiddle-back”, “tiger-stripe”, and/or “birds-eye” patterns. Any of these patterns can be expected in your product.

 

o

Certain soil factors can cause variation in wood color.

 

o

Other natural circumstances, including weather conditions or the intrusion of living things such as insects or vines can cause discolorations and wounds. The tree over time will heal itself and incorporate these features into the wood.

 

o

Maple sapwood is creamy white with a slight reddish brown tinge and the heartwood varies from light to dark reddish brown. The amount of darker brown heartwood can vary significantly according to growing region and will darken with age upon exposure to natural light.

 

o

Since natural events such as these are responsible for most of the inherent features or imprints found in wood, no tree will be completely free of them.

 

4.2 Finish Information. These latest techniques are designed to be hand-worked, making each piece look “one of a kind.” When joining together many of these similar but “one of a kind pieces” to make up an entire kitchen, the intelligible variances of each component may be clear.

 

 

o

Wash - Expect the wash application over the base finish to provide for uneven retention of the wash on the details on the front of your cabinet doors and drawers. This is referred to as “wash hang-up”, and the degree of variation is based on the hardness and grain of the wood and is not intentional. Face frames will be washed if the cabinets are designated “full wipe”. The molding accessories will have glazing applied to them; this includes flat panel ends and raised panel end.

 

o

Glaze - The inking procedure creates a dark or light profile outline of the various dimensions of the cabinet box, doors, and drawers. This attention to detail lends a mystic and striking decorative element to a finely crafted set of cabinets. The inking process is hand-created and is not stamped out by a machine, therefore, expect less than perfect uniformity of thickness of the profile.

 

o

Paint - The painted product is a full coverage product applied with highly specialized finishing equipment. Paint on wood and MDF surfaces has the potential to develop visible cracking around the jointed area of doors and face frames due to expansion and contraction. An open joint line is not considered a defect and is considered a natural occurrence in the cabinet industry. Sunlight, smoke, moisture, household cleaners and other environmental conditions may cause materials to vary from their original color and/or to warp, split or crack.

 

4.3 Veneers. The front of the cabinet boxes and the flat exposed ends are made using veneers. Wood and painted veneers will have variation as a result of nature, dye lot, exposure to light, and aging. Changes in humidity and temperature, improper care and maintenance, exposure to natural and artificial light, and other conditions will adversely affect the veneer, cause warpage, checking, cracking, fading, darkening or discoloration, and cause other unwanted conditions and is not warranted.

4.4 Care and Maintenance.

 

 

o

Wipe with a clean, soft, damp cloth and dry immediately. Never use a dishcloth or sponge that might contain remnants of detergent or grease. To remove food residue or grease, use any common dishwashing liquid-not detergent-or solution of mild soap and water. Wipe with a clean damp cloth and dry thoroughly. If a spill occurs, clean and dry immediately. Left unattended, a spill can soak through the wood surface and cause damage.

 

o

Do not use soap pads, steel wool, or cleaners that contain bleach, ammonia, or abrasives. These agents may cause discoloration, marring, or dulling of the finish. Do not wax or polish cabinet surfaces. Wax build-up will leave a residue that is difficult to remove. The extensive use of wax or silicone polishes can result in a film build-up which will destroy the cabinet’s finish and void the warranty.

 

o

Excess moisture can damage the cabinet finish. Clean spills, water, or moisture from cabinets immediately. Give special attention to areas around the sink and dishwasher. Avoid draping damp or wet dishcloths over cabinet doors. Over time, this moisture can cause permanent damage to your cabinet finish. Water damage to cabinets is not covered under warranty.

 

4.5 Color Changes with Age. Even though the most chemically advanced screening products are used, exposing the cabinets to light, particularly sunlight, will cause the finish to yellow to some degree. Because this effect increases with time, Seller and Seller’s cabinet manufactures cannot guarantee exact color matching for replacement parts ordered after the original job was installed.

 

PLEASE NOTE: SIZES OF CABINET UNITS AND CABINET OPTIONS VARY PER PLAN.

Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re- select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the natural wood cabinets.

5. Carpet. Carpet is one of the most widely used floor coverings in residential homes. As with all floor coverings, there are characteristics of carpet that are important to know. While all of the carpets installed in Seller’s homes have some level of stain protector no carpet is stain proof.

 

 

o

Seams are not invisible. Seams will be more visible in a lighter colored carpet than in a darker colored carpet, but all seams are visible to a certain extent.

 

o

All carpets show tracks. We offer some textured carpets that track “less,” but none are “track proof.”

 

o

Colors and shades do vary from one dye lot to another. Installed carpet will be noticeably different in color when compared to the Design Studio sample.

 

o

Many types of carpet will shed after installation for a short period of time. This “fuzz” is normal. Carpets should be vacuumed more often for the first 6 months until fuzzing disappears.

 

o

Use an upright vacuum cleaner with a beater bar for routine cleaning (at least twice a week under normal use).

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns; etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the carpet.

6. Berber Carpet. Berber style carpet requires different care and maintenance and has characteristics/benefits specific only to Berber carpet. Some of the characteristics are given below:

 

 

o

Seams are more apparent with Berber carpet and will show color variation at seams. Because Berber carpet is constructed in “loops” it does not “bloom” and cover seams like traditional carpet. The tighter the construction of the loop, the more visible the seam. In very tight loop Berber, seams will be as evident as those in upholstered furniture or clothing. This is considered industry standard, and is to be expected.

 

o

Stains are more noticeable due to loop construction.

 

o

The backing of your carpet will show on stairs due to the row effect of your Berber. This is called “smiling.”

 

o

You will have a firmer feeling under foot. You will not experience a cushy, spongy feel.

 

o

Berber is not recommended for homeowners with indoor pets. Berber does snag easily and can unravel. Sharp toys and high heels can also cause loop pulls.

 

o

You must raise your vacuum beater bar so it does not come in contact with the carpet.

 

o

The industry has established guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The “lines” in your Berber will not “line up” with the walls or other flooring surfaces in a perfectly perpendicular manner.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading, more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the Berber carpet.

7. Granite Countertop. Due to the fact that granite is a product of nature, the characteristics of a particular sample will not be uniformly present in other samples of the same color. A sample serves only to indicate, in a general way, the color, markings, and texture usually found in a block of granite. Because of the inherent characteristics, no two pieces of granite, such as sections of a kitchen countertop, will be identical. The Countertops or areas of the countertops will not be replaced due to color and/or texture variation within or between the pieces of your installation.

 

 

 

o

Because granite is natural and is quarried from the ground, it contains inherent weak spots, including but not limited to: (i) Hairline cracks (caused during the quarrying process); (ii) Fissures (natural clefts in the formation which are mistaken for cracks); (iii) Pits (small crystals that loosen and may fall out during polishing, leaving small voids in the surface); and (iv) Inclusions (areas of stone which do not look like the rest of the stone).

 

o

Any movement of cabinets, walls or general settling of your Home could cause any of these to open and/or become more noticeable.

 

o

The American Marble Institute deems it appropriate to repair any surface blemishes or cracks during the fabrication and installation process; it is Seller’s practice to follow these guidelines.

 

o

Because granite is quarried from the ground, it is impossible to do seamless or seemingly seamless installations of countertops. Granite countertop seams can be seen and felt. Granite slabs are not always perfectly flat causing some seams to be uneven from front to back. Countertop seams will be flush +/- 1/32” (the thickness of a credit card).

 

o

Since granite is a quarried material, slab sizes are random. It is not possible to locate seams for a given plan in the same place from one house to the next. Seams will be placed where necessary based on kitchen layout and material constraints. This includes seams in the sink or cook top cutouts. The fabricator determines seam location for each installation. Seam location cannot be specified by the homebuyer, and cannot be changed after installation.

 

o

Being very porous, granite may absorb many types of liquids and will be prone to staining. All granite countertops installed will need to be sealed and re-sealed by Buyer on a yearly basis to help protect against staining.

 

o

The polished finish of granite is very durable; however, it can be scratched with other household items. The finish may be dulled with the application of various food acids such as citric acids, lactic (milk) acids, vegetable acids (like tomatoes), unapproved cleaning agents and general wear.

 

o

Oil based materials, such as cooking oils, are natural stone’s worst enemy. Care should be taken when using oil-based materials and spills should be cleaned up immediately.

 

o

Support: 3cm granite will not have subdecking, and will rest directly on the cabinets or support walls. All overhang and cantilever areas will be braced with flat steel support strips underneath. Overhangs larger than 12” may require additional bracing and support as determined by the builder. Bracing will necessarily be visible.

 

o

Undermount sink walls will be flush with countertop cut-out within a variance of ¼” on any or all sides.

 

o

Group IV (Platinum Level) granites all contain extreme variation and cannot be controlled from slab to slab. When selecting one of these specialty granites know that the variation is random and countertops will not be changed or altered for any reason after installation.

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the granite countertops.

8. Ceramic Tile/Grout. Ceramic or porcelain tile is an exceptionally durable floor and wall covering. It is a kiln- fired clay product, made with products courtesy of “Mother Nature”. As with all fired products, there will be some variation in size and shade. This is an inherent quality of ceramic or porcelain tile and results in varying color and sizing from tile to tile. With modern technology, ceramic or porcelain tile can be made to mimic nature’s variations. It seems the part of nature we enjoy the most is its beautiful, non-synthetic, imperfect perfection.

 

 

o

If different tiles sizes are used, it will cause “lipping” (one tile sticking out farther than the other) due to the different thickness of each material type. This should be considered when selecting a pinwheel pattern.

 

o

Lipping is also extremely prevalent when laying tile in a herringbone pattern in a large area especially in a room with large windows.

 

o

Tile will have dye lot variations, texture differences, or lack of uniformity in color. This is extremely apparent when combing two sizes of tile for example in a pinwheel pattern. Often tile sizes are made a different manufacturing plants and it is impossible to control or match the dye lots of the two sizes. This should be considered when selecting a pinwheel pattern.

 

o

Many factors determine tile layout and location of cut tiles, including but not limited to wall levelness, placement of finished edges, adjacencies, room/area size and shape, and pattern variables. Cut placement is at the discretion of the installer. Homeowners do not determine placement of tiles and cuts.

 

o

SELLER DOES NOT seal the grout to allow the material to fully cure.

 

o

Grout is extremely porous, and it will stain. Buyer may elect to seal your grout after closing, however a sealant will change the chemical compound of your grout, making the grout difficult to match in the event a future repair is needed. Keep in mind, a sealant will only temporarily protect your grout, and will need to be stripped and reapplied regularly per manufacturers’ instructions.

 

o

The conglomerate nature of grout will cause grout colors to vary and also allows for expansion and contraction of grout joints. Some resulting grout cracks are normal.

 

o

The industry has established realistic guidelines for tolerance levels. Please understand that the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc., in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious.

 

o

Grout lines using multiple tile sizes will also vary in thickness due to size differences between tiles. This look is considered “industry standard” and is to be expected.

 

o

Grout colors are subject to variation.

 

o

Porcelain and ceramic tiles are resistant to germs and bacteria and it is also among the easiest of flooring materials to clean. You can clean your porcelain tile with a damp sponge mop. A solution of 1/4 cup of white vinegar to 2 gallons of water works best, allowing time for drying. You can also sweep or vacuum. Although the glaze of a tile is impervious, it is still possible for its surface to discolor from certain chemicals.

 

o

Do not clean porcelain tile flooring with ammonia or with cleaners that contain bleach and/or acid. Acid and ammonia-based cleaners may modify grout color and product stability.

 

o

Use a cleaner that is pH neutral. This ensures cleaning will not harm your grout or surrounding surfaces.

 

o

Do not use wax or oil-based cleaners.

 

o

Mandatory grout width with all tile is 3/16”.

 

o

Use rugs at entrances to prevent dirt and grit from being tracked onto the tile flooring from outdoors. Tiles are scratch resistant but not scratch proof.

 

o

Do not use steel wool or other abrasive pads to remove tough debris or stains. Steel wool may scratch your tiles and loose steel particles may eventually create rust stains in the grout over time.

 

o

Sweep or vacuum loose dirt and dust from the floor prior to washing with water to prevent the tile from becoming muddy or leaving a residue after on textured surfaces sweep in multiple directions to ensure the removal of all foreign material that might be residing in the textured surface. For wall surfaces tile can be gently wiped down with a clean, dry cloth or rag.

 

o

Be careful with acidic foods, drinks and dyes as they may stain certain types of grout.

 

o

Prolonged use of bleach and ammonia-based products may cause the grout to become brittle over time and in wet applications may result in water damage due to cracking and deterioration.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options. Refer to manufacturer’s recommendations for additional information on care and maintenance.

9. Stone/Tile Medallions. Daltile medallions made with natural stone products inherently lack uniformity and are subject to variation in aesthetics (color, shade, finish, texture, etc.) and performance (hardness strength, slip resistance, absorbency, etc).

 

 

o

Irregularities in individual components of medallions are considered part of the material’s beauty, and to be expected.

 

o

Many types of natural stone may contain areas of broken, open or dry seams, pits, chips, fossils, and glass veins that may or may not be filled at the factory or during installation. This is to be expected.

 

o

Variance in height of individual tile and/or marble components is to be expected.

 

o

Finish, shine, texture, pattern, and shading may vary from one piece to another.

 

o

Field tiles and grout lines will not line up with medallion center or borders.

 

o

Medallions or their components will not be changed out due to these irregularities or any resulting fillings made during fabrication or installation.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Medallions are placed in pre-determined locations per plan and will not be moved for any reason. Manufacturers discontinue colors and patterns from time to time. If this occurs, you will be notified that a reselection is required and Buyer agrees to re-select from the available options.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the stone/tile medallions.

10. Travertine. Travertine is a calcium-based stone. Travertine is generated by the deposit of calcium carbonate resulting from water springs and streams running through the stone. Every time a drop in pressure or change of temperature occurs, the water releases carbon dioxide as gas, much like carbonated beverages. This gas causes holes to form in the travertine. These natural pores are still going to be present once the blocks are cut into tiles. The amount of holes depends by how compact each travertine type is and it varies greatly by the type of travertine. The pores present in the tiles can be filled with a paste made of cement and pigments and/or grout. However, it is important to note that these void spaces are a distinctive character of travertine tiles and they are always going to be present.

 

10.1 Characteristics of Travertine. Travertine has extreme variation in shape, color, porosity, finish and texture. When choosing this product you recognize that the material in your Home will vary significantly from the samples shown. This quarried product with its unique, natural veining and impurities offers perhaps the most unique look available. Many of its characteristics are listed below.

 

 

o

Travertine is a product of nature. Minerals and fossilized impurities become part of the stone and add irregularities to its appearance. These are not defects in your travertine, they are inherent with natural stone.

 

o

Travertine is a porous material and for that reason the finish cannot be guaranteed. The stone is sealed with Aqua Mix Sealers Choice Gold, but to maintain resistance to absorbency, it should be resealed annually.

 

o

Veining will likely occur. This is a natural “weak” spot in the stone, and may crack.

 

o

Finish, shine, texture, pattern, and shading may vary from one piece to another.

 

o

Travertine is very porous and it will stain, scratch and etch.

 

o

Part of the natural beauty of travertine is that it has been broken by tumbling. Tumbled stones will have irregular edges, holes, and veining.

 

o

Travertine may have pits and fissures. Some of these may have a factory “fill” product applied, and some may remain open. Grout applied during installation may fill some or all open areas. Irregularity in this product and its application is to be expected, and is considered to add to the “old world” appearance of the stone.

 

o

Please understand the samples from which you are selecting are representative of, but not necessarily exactly what will be installed in your Home.

 

o

The perception of color, texture, patterns, etc. in a smaller sample may be different when the entire application is completed. For example, the color may be more or less intense, the texture may be more or less pronounced, and the shading more or less obvious. Buyer acknowledges and accepts these potential differences.

 

o

Versailles pattern will appear differently based on angles and direction of the floor plan.

 

o

Filled portions of pits and pores will chip out with everyday wear and tear, especially in high traffic areas. This is not a defect in the stone or with the installation. It is to be expected. Buyer acknowledges and understands that Seller is not liable for warranty claims due to this issue.

10.2 Travertine Care and Maintenance. Proper care and maintenance of travertine is essential for durability, elegance and longevity. The following are cleaning guidelines to assist you with the care of your travertine floors. Travertine floors should be cleaned weekly in addition to regular dust mopping.

 

 

o

Dirt and dust can scratch the surface of travertine therefore regularly sweep floors with a broom made of soft material, vacuum or mop with a clean dry micro-fiber cloth. Use only vacuum cleaners fitted with a glider. Metal and plastic attachments in addition to the wheels can scratch the surface.

 

o

Travertine should be cleaned with neutral cleaners or mild soaps specifically designed for travertine and/or stone. These cleaners contain no acids or bleach and are concentrated neutral pH cleaners that will not affect existing sealers. A solution of the cleaner and water mixed to the manufacturers instructions should be applied to the travertine surface with a sponge or mop. After mopping the travertine surface clean any excess cleaner and/or liquid off with a clean damp micro-fiber cloth to remove any residue from the cleaner. Follow with a dry micro-fiber cloth. Make sure all excess moisture is cleaned up.

 

o

Avoid all abrasive cleaners and/or cleaning pads.

 

o

Clean any liquid spills as soon as possible to prevent damage to the travertine. Liquid spills allowed to stand will cause damage. Acidic substances such as bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners, coffee, wine and juices will damage travertine causing staining and a dulled finish.

 

o

Protective padding on furniture legs and area rugs are recommended to prevent etching and scratching.

 

DO dust mop floors frequently

 

DON’T use vinegar or other acid cleaners

DO clean floors with a neutral pH cleaner or stone cleaner

 

DON’T use abrasive cleaners or cleaning pads

DO thoroughly rinse and dry floors after mopping

 

DON’T use bathroom cleaners, grout cleaners or tub/tile cleaners

DO blot up spills immediately

 

DON’T slide furniture or heavy items across floors

DO protect floors with non-slip mats or area rugs

 

DON’T use vacuum’s that do not have a glider

DO squeegee or wipe shower walls to reduce

 

DON’T use bleach residue buildup

  

Travertine floors are an investment giving a beautifully unique look to any home. However due to the many unpredictable characteristics, in addition to daily care and maintenance much consideration should be given when selecting this product.

 

PLEASE NOTE: Manufacturers’ guidelines will be adhered to in determining acceptable variance and tolerance levels of any material in Seller’s homes. Materials and installations will not be altered or replaced unless dictated by the vendor or manufacturer. Travertine is a natural product with inherent shade and/or texture variations, natural seams and imperfections. Seller assumes no responsibility or liability for any labor or material claims made before or after closing due to any variations, inherent characteristics or improper care and maintenance of travertine.

 

Buyer acknowledges and understands the above-information related to the travertine.

2. Contingency. This above referenced Agreement is contingent upon an independent appraisal as follows:

 

2.1. Buyer has elected to obtain a mortgage loan from Lender (as defined in the Agreement) to finance the transaction contemplated by the Agreement. Buyer understands that the amount of the mortgage loan provided by Lender is subject to the Lender’s “loan to value” ratio, which is the percentage of the mortgage amount in relation to the appraised value of the Property as determined by the Lender’s appraisal. The Lender’s appraisal of the Property at the then current market conditions at the time of Closing may not equal the Total Purchase Price.

 

2.2. Buyer understands and agrees that any entry by Buyer or Buyer’s appraiser shall be done at Buyer’s risk and in compliance within all of Seller’s safety guidelines and federal, state and local safety laws and regulations, and as required by the Agreement and other Addenda to the Agreement, which remain in full force and effect.

If Buyer elects (i) above, Seller shall be entitled to terminate the Agreement and retain the Deposit as agreed upon liquidated damages for taking the Property off of the market and for Seller’s carrying costs and associated marketing and administrative costs. The parties acknowledge that Seller’s actual damages in the event of a breach or default by Buyer under this Agreement will be difficult to ascertain, and that such liquidated damages represent the parties’ best estimate of such damages. The parties further agree that the amount of liquidated damages is fixed and agreed to as a reasonable estimate of the damages that Seller shall suffer and is not in the nature of a penalty. If Buyer elects (ii) above, under no circumstance shall the Buyer be excused from performance under this Agreement; except for a Seller default under the Agreement. Buyer understands that the option referenced in this paragraph must be selected within five (5) calendar days of Buyer receiving the appraisal. If Buyer fails to provide its selection in writing to Seller within the required time frame, Buyer will be in default and Seller shall have the right to exercise all available remedies as set forth herein and in the Agreement.

 

2.4. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if this Agreement provides for a U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) guaranteed or Federal Housing Administration (FHA) insured loan, the applicable appraisal requirements are set forth in the FHA/VA Rider and incorporated herein.

ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL STONE FLOORS AND COUNTERTOPS

 

THIS ADDENDUM FOR NATURAL STONE FLOORS AND COUNTERTOPS(this “Addendum”) is executed in conjunction with and, by this reference, incorporated into the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) dated as of the eighth day of March, 2023, between Sammie Francis Joseph III (collectively, “Buyer”) and Seller, as defined in the Agreement, respecting Lot 37 of Block H, of Sunset Oaks Subdivision/Plat in the community known as Sunset Oaks Stonehill (the “Community”).

 

1. Defined Terms. All initially capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, and all references in this Addendum to the Agreement shall be deemed to include references to this Addendum and to any other addenda and riders attached to the Agreement, which are hereby incorporated by this reference.

 

2. Natural Stone Flooring and Countertops. Natural stones with varying colors and mineral compositions (“Stone”) are found in quarries throughout the world. Stone including, without limitation, marble and granite, are therefore products of nature and vary in color, markings, shade, and texture. Buyer acknowledges that Stone is not uniform and that Seller can make no guarantees regarding the color, markings, shade, and texture of the Stone to be used in the Home. Buyer further acknowledges and Seller makes the following disclosures regarding the Stone to be used/installed in Buyer’s Home:

 

2.1 Cleaning. Care should be exercised when cleaning Stone. No chemicals should be used to clean stone other than those cleaners specifically designed to clean Stone.

 

2.2 Natural Inconsistencies. Stone contains natural inconsistencies which will be present in Stone flooring and/or countertops in the Home; such natural inconsistencies are normal and are not defects.

 

2.3 Edges and Corners. There may be changes in the patterning of Stone from one edge or corner of the flooring or countertop to another edge or corner; such changes in patterning is normal and is not a defect.

 

2.4 Fissures and Pits. Stone may contain fissures and pits that occur naturally and may appear as a small hole or recess; such fissures and pits are not cracks or defects.

 

2.5 Spots, Freckles, and Rust. Spots, freckles, and/or rust may appear in Stone from time to time, and may appear as a concentration and/or random aberration of color in a particular area of the surface of Stone; such spots, freckles, and rust are not defects.

 

2.6 Seams. Stone is almost never seamless due to the techniques employed to cut the slab of Stone in a way that preserves the maximum beauty of such Stone. Pieces of Stone must therefore be fitted together and the Stone used in the Home will not be seamless and may have visible seams, which are not defects.

 

2.7 Wallboard and Plaster. Stone is cut by machine to be straight. Irregularities occurring in the Home may mean that the installer has to force pieces of Stone into the wallboard or plaster during installation to compensate for the irregularities. Shims, caulking and putty may be used to fill imperfections in walls and floors in order to install Stone flooring and countertops. There may be such shims, caulking and/or putty in the Stone used in the Home, which shims, caulking and/or putty are used to enhance the installation and are not defects.

 

2.8 Staining. Stone may stain and such staining is not a defect. As a preventative measure, but not as absolute protection from staining, Stone should be sealed with the appropriate sealant, using the appropriate technique, after every six (6) months of normal use.

 

2.9 Sink Cabinet. The cabinet directly under the sink shall be six (6) inches larger than the sink, as a sink of larger size will preclude natural adjustment of seams and edges of Stone countertop and may result in a deterioration of the Stone countertop.

 

3. Counterparts. This Addendum shall be validly executed when signed in counterpart; a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed original and given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Addendum electronically to the other party.

 

4. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Addendum and the Agreement, this Addendum shall control. In all other respects, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

5. Entire Agreement. The Agreement, together with this Addendum and any other addenda and riders to the Agreement, contains the entire agreement between Buyer and Seller concerning the matters set forth herein. No addition or modification of this Addendum or the Agreement shall be effective unless set forth in writing and signed by Buyer and an authorized representative of Seller.

3. Sales Associate of Cooperating Broker. By signing below, sales associate or designated agent of Cooperating Broker (“Sales Associate”) agrees, on behalf of himself/herself and on behalf of Cooperating Broker, to the terms of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, Sales Associate agrees that Seller’s sole responsibility hereunder is to pay the Commission to Cooperating Broker in the manner described above. Any other amounts payable to Sales Associate and/or Cooperating Broker shall be the sole responsibility of Buyer, if provided for in a separate agreement between Cooperating Broker and Buyer. In addition, Sales Associate hereby personally represents and warrants that Sales Associate has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement on behalf of Cooperating Broker and that such execution of this Agreement on behalf of Cooperating Broker has been duly authorized by all necessary and proper corporate action of Cooperating Broker.

 

4. Participation Policy. By signing this Agreement, Sales Associate acknowledges that Sales Associate has read and agrees, on behalf of such Sales Associate and Cooperating Broker, to comply with the terms and conditions in the Participation Policy set forth below. This Agreement shall be null and void if Seller determines, in its absolute discretion, at any time before Closing that Sales Associate and/or Cooperating Broker has/have violated the terms of the Participation Policy. The Participation Policy follows:

 

4.1 In order for Cooperating Broker to receive a commission in connection with the sale of real property in the Community, Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate must register a prospective buyer (the “Prospect”) in person at the sales office for the Community (phone registrations will not be accepted). Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate must accompany the Prospect during Prospect’s initial visit. If the tracking system used at the sales office for the Community indicates that the Prospect was initially introduced to the Community via the internet, and/or initially registered at the sales office without being accompanied by Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate, neither Cooperating Broker nor Sales Associate shall be entitled to receive a commission in connection with the sale of real property in the Community to such Prospect. This registration is effective for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of registration (“Registration Period”). Cooperating Broker may extend the Registration Period for an additional ninety (90) days by sending a written request (phone requests for an extension will not be accepted) to the sales office for the Community before the expiration of the initial Registration Period.

 

4.2 Cooperating Broker shall be entitled to receive the Commission, provided that the Prospect (i) is properly registered, (ii) contracts to purchase a home from the on-site sales staff in the Community (“NewHome Consultant”) before the expiration of the Registration Period, and (iii) closes on the transaction pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement for the Home. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event two or more brokers claim that they are entitled to a commission from having registered a Prospect, the cooperating broker who registers the Prospect last will be entitled to the commission. This registration, or any extension thereof, does not protect Cooperating Broker or Sales Associate from another broker or sales associate registering the same Prospect in the Community. Seller will pay the Commission to Cooperating Broker, provided that the terms and conditions contained herein are satisfied and except as otherwise set forth above relating to later-registering cooperating brokers. In all cases, Sales Associate agrees to look solely to Cooperating Broker for payment of any commission. By way of example, if Sales Associate terminates his/her employment with a registered Cooperating Broker who is entitled to a commission pursuant to this Participation Policy, then Sales Associate shall have no claim against Seller with respect to such commission.

 

4.3 Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate acknowledge that this Participation Policy, the registration forms, sign-up sheets and other incentives, contracts, or forms given to Prospects or buyers of homes are trade secrets of Seller. Cooperating Broker agrees to indemnify, defend and hold Seller harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, costs and expenses of whatever nature or kind, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and costs relating to or arising out of any claim against Seller as a result of conduct or representations made by Cooperating Broker and/or Sales Associate. In the event that Seller must enforce or defend any of the terms and conditions of this Participation Policy, Seller shall be entitled to collect from Cooperating Broker reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and costs.

 

5. Cooperating Broker Status and Duties. Cooperating Broker hereby represents, warrants and covenants that Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate are licensed in the state in which the Home is located. Each of Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate will comply with all requirements of applicable law as a single agent (or transaction broker) in their representation of Buyer in the purchase of the Home and will assist the parties with communication, interposition, advisement, negotiation, contract terms and closing. At the written request of Seller, Sales Associate will provide a copy of Cooperating Broker’s and/or Sales Associate’s current and valid broker or sales associate license(s) to Seller or it designee.

6. Special Incentive. In addition to the Commission, Seller has agreed to provide Cooperating Broker the following additional special incentive at Closing:                                                                          , which has a cash value of $.00(“Special Incentive”). Seller’s obligation to provide the Special Incentive to Cooperating Broker at Closing is conditioned on the same terms and conditions set forth in the Broker Agreement for the payment of the Commission to Cooperating Broker. Cooperating Broker acknowledges that total broker compensation cannot exceed 7% of the Total Purchase Price (as that term is defined in the Purchase Price and Payment Addendum). Each bonus/incentive program is a separate program and will not be valid in conjunction with any other offer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller has reserved the right, in its sole discretion, to substitute the Special Incentive at Closing with another incentive of equivalent cash value. If Seller determines, in its sole discretion, prior to Closing that Special Incentive is not permitted by applicable law, Seller’s obligations with respect to the Special Incentive under this Agreement shall be null and void and of no effect, and Seller shall have no obligation to provide any Special Incentive (or its cash equivalent) to Cooperating Broker at Closing. Cooperating Broker has acknowledged and agreed that Seller may provide, but shall have no obligation to provide, nominal incentives of no cash value to Cooperating Broker’s sales associate or agent at Closing.

 

7. Acknowledgment by Broker. This document supersedes any previous registration form filed by the Cooperating Broker or any of its agents or employees with the Seller, its agents or employees. Violation by the Cooperating Broker of any provision of this document will constitute a breach of this document by the Cooperating Broker and will, at the Seller’s election, void any obligation of the Seller to pay a commission or fee to the Cooperating Broker and will, at the Seller’s election, entitle the Seller to whatever remedies it may have at law or in equity.

 

8. Governing Law. This Agreement is governed by Texas law, without regard to its conflicts of law rules.

 

9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, a complete set of which shall form a single document. Signatures may be given via electronic transmission and shall be deemed given as of the date and time of the transmission of this Agreement to the other party.

 

10. Conflicts. In the event of any conflict between this Cooperating Broker Agreement and the Purchase and Sale Agreement or any other addenda and/or riders, this Cooperating Broker Agreement shall control. In all other respects, the Purchase and Sale Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement between Seller, Cooperating Broker and Sales Associate and shall not be altered, modified or amended unless such amendment is set forth in writing and signed by all parties to this Agreement.

Express Limited Warranty: The “Lennar Limited Warranty Lennar Limited Warranty”

Under the Lennar Limited Warranty, the seller of your Home (“Lennar”) commits that the components of your Home will perform to the standards listed in this Warranty Booklet. Specific components of your Home are covered for either one, two or ten years under the Lennar Limited Warranty, and Lennar’s obligations are expressly limited to those standards and for only those time periods as explained below. Please take the time to review the section titled “What Is Not Covered By The Lennar Limited Warranty” which lists those items excluded from the Lennar Limited Warranty. The Lennar Limited Warranty commences on the date of closing of the original purchase of the Home (the “Closing Date”). The protection periods provided below are referred to in the Lennar Limited Warranty as “Warranty Terms.”

 

Workmanship Protection for Year 1

For one year from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the components of the Home set forth in the Workmanship Standards found on pages 14 to 48 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Workmanship Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Workmanship Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a component is performing in accordance with the Workmanship Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and or replacements necessary to meet the Workmanship Standards. Please note that a limited number of items in the Workmanship Standards are subject to a one-time repair obligation.

 

Systems Protection for Years 1-2

For two years from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the components of the Home set forth in the Systems Standards found on pages 49 and 50 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Systems Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Systems Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a component is performing in accordance with the Systems Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and/or replacements necessary to meet the Systems Standards.

 

Structural Protection for Years 1 through 10

For ten years from the Closing Date, Lennar warrants that the structural components of the Home set forth in the Structural Components Standards found on page 51 of this Warranty Booklet will perform in accordance with those Structural Standards. If a component is not specifically listed in the Structural Standards, then it is not warranted under the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. If a structural component is performing in accordance with those Structural Standards, then Lennar has no further obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar reserves the sole right to determine the repairs and/or replacements necessary to meet the Structural Standards and may, at its sole election, implement repairs in phases to determine if structural components can be stabilized as part of meeting its obligations under the Structural Standards.

 

Transferability

All of your rights and obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty shall, unless previously released by you or your successor, fully transfer to each successor owner of the Home, including any mortgagee in possession, for the remainder of the applicable Warranty Term and any transfer shall in no way affect, increase or reduce the coverage under the Lennar Limited Warranty for its unexpired term. If you sell your Home during the Warranty Term, you agree to give this Warranty Booklet to the successor owner to inform the successor owner of warranty rights and to otherwise make it possible for the successor owner to fulfill the successor owner’s obligations under the terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty. If you are an owner other than the original purchaser of the Home, you are bound by all the terms and conditions of the Lennar Limited Warranty including, but not limited to, claims procedures and the requirement to submit any disputes that may arise under the Lennar Limited Warranty to binding arbitration.

Requesting Lennar Limited Warranty Service

 

If you believe that a component of your Home is not performing to the Lennar Limited Warranty standards during the applicable Warranty Term, you must send the appropriate Notice of Workmanship/Systems Claim Form or Notice of Structural Claim Form (located at this back of this booklet)(“Notice of Claim”) to Lennar.

 

The Notice of Claim must list the specific warranty claim and the date that you first observed the condition that is the subject of the claim. You must notify Lennar of any observed component that you believe is not performing to Lennar Limited Warranty standards as soon as possible and in no event later than the date the applicable warranty expires, by sending the Notice of Claim to the appropriate Customer Care office.

 

We must receive your Notice of Claim not later than thirty (30) days after the applicable Workmanship, Systems or Structural Warranty expires or we will have no further obligation to you under the Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar is not responsible for repairs or any other costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and engineers’ fees) incurred by you prior to the date you give Lennar a Notice of Claim. In the event that you fail to notify us and give us the opportunity to inspect and repair the conditions giving rise your claim, Lennar will not be responsible for any repairs or any other costs or expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ and engineers’ fees) you incur to address the claim.

 

We will respond to a timely Notice of Workmanship or System Claim within thirty (30) days and complete any warranted repairs within sixty (60) days of receipt of your written Notice of Claim to us unless (i) you or other events beyond our reasonable control delay our completion (including a failure to allow prompt inspections of your Home), or (ii) the condition reasonably requires more than sixty (60) days to properly repair. If we determine that any of the Workmanship or Systems items you report to us are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty, we will endeavor to advise you in writing within thirty (30) days of our determination of no coverage.

 

Additional time may be required for us to assess structural claims and evaluate our response. As such, we will respond to any Notice of Structural Claim within (60) days of receipt of your written Notice of Structural Claim unless you or other events beyond our control delay our response (including a failure to allow prompt inspections of your Home).

Additional time may be required to investigate, design, implement and/or complete structural repairs beyond the

(60)    days by which we commit to complete Workmanship/Systems repairs. If we determine that any of the Structural items you report to us are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty, we will endeavor to advise you in writing within (30) thirty days of our determination of no coverage.

 

Investigation of claims often requires inspection of the Home, and under certain circumstances, invasive testing might be needed. We may request additional documents or information from you, and you agree as part of the Lennar Limited Warranty to fully cooperate with the investigation of your claim. By submitting a Notice of Claim, you agree to grant Lennar and/or its representatives prompt and complete access to your Home during normal business hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to inspect, repair and conduct tests in your Home as we may deem necessary. If you refuse to allow us access to your Home, such denial of access shall void the Lennar Limited Warranty with respect to your claim.

 

Lennar reserves the option to repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost of repair or replacement for any warranted and covered claim. Prior to Lennar undertaking repairs, replacement or payment, you agree to assign to Lennar all claims you may have against any other person or entity who Lennar or you believe may have any responsibility associated with the warranted and covered claim.

 

If you believe that we have not met our obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty, you may seek resolution of any claim you may have pursuant to the mediation/arbitration provisions set forth in the following section of the Warranty Booklet.

 1-2-10 Single Family Home Warranty

 

Mediation/Arbitration Of Disputes

 

The terms “Buyer” and “Seller” as used in this section of your warranty shall have the same meaning as set forth in your Purchase and Sale Agreement. By purchasing a Lennar home and receiving this warranty, Buyer specifically agrees that this transaction involves interstate commerce and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. “Disputes” (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims (1) arising under, or related to, your Purchase and Sale Agreement, the Property, the Community or any dealings between Buyer and Seller; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Seller or Seller’s representative; and (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Buyer, Buyer’s children or other occupants of the Property, or in the Community. Buyer has executed this Agreement on behalf of his or her children and other occupants of the Property with the intent that all such parties be bound hereby. Any Dispute shall be submitted for binding arbitration within a reasonable time after such Dispute has arisen. Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

Any and all mediations commenced by Buyer and Seller shall be filed with and administered by the American Arbitration Association or any successor thereto (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s Home Construction Mediation Procedures in effect on the date of the request. If there are no Home Construction Mediation Procedures currently in effect, then the AAA’s Construction Industry Mediation Rules in effect on the date of such request shall be utilized. Unless mutually waived in writing by the parties, submission to mediation is a condition precedent to either party taking further action with regard to any matter covered hereunder.

 

If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Home Construction Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of the request. If there are no Home Construction Arbitration Rules currently in effect, then the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules in effect on the date of such request shall be utilized. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. Arbitrators shall have expertise in the area(s) of Dispute, which may include legal expertise if legal issues are involved. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). At the request of either Buyer or Seller, the award of the arbitrator(s) shall be accompanied by detailed written findings of fact and conclusions of law. Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

 

The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Section shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Section. Buyer and Seller further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Seller’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Seller may, at its sole election, include Seller’s contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Buyer and Seller agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Buyer and Seller further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties.

 1-2-10 Single Family Home Warranty

 

Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each of Buyer and Seller shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Buyer or Seller unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the noncontesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if Buyer or Seller fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award.

 

Buyer may obtain additional information concerning the rules of the AAA by visiting its website at www.adr.org or by writing the AAA at 335 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10017.

 

Seller supports the principals set forth in the Consumer Due Process Protocol developed by the National Consumer Dispute Advisory Committee and agrees to the following:

 

Notwithstanding the requirements of arbitration stated in this Agreement, Buyer shall have the option, after pursuing mediation as provided herein, to seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of the court’s jurisdiction in lieu of proceeding to arbitration. This option does not apply to any appeal from a decision by a small claims court.

 

Seller agrees to pay for one (1) day of mediation (mediator fees plus any administrative fees relating to the mediation). Any mediator and associated administrative fees incurred thereafter shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

The filing fees and case service fees for any claim pursued via arbitration shall be apportioned as provided in the Home Construction Arbitration Rules of the AAA or other applicable rules. The fees of the arbitrator(s) shall be shared equally by the parties.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Seller or Buyer seeks injunctive relief, and not monetary damages, from a court because irreparable damage or harm would otherwise be suffered by either party before mediation or arbitration could be conducted, such actions shall not be interpreted to indicate that either party has waived the right to mediate or arbitrate. The right to mediate and arbitrate should also not be considered waived by the filing of a counterclaim by either party once a claim for injunctive relief had been filed with a court.

Limitations On Lennar Limited Warranty

 

Homeowner Obligations. You are obligated to care for your Home in such a way as to prevent or minimize damage to it and to properly maintain the Home. You should be aware that all homes go through a period of settlement and movement. During this period, your Home or components of your Home may experience some material shrinkage, cracking and other events which are normal and customary. Remember that you are responsible for proper maintenance of your Home including maintaining the original grades around your Home, planting trees and shrubs at a proper distance from your Home and conforming to generally accepted landscape practices for your region. Changing the drainage and grading patterns or trapping water near your Home as a result of homeowner changes in grades and landscaping may cause damage to your foundation.

 

Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. Except as prohibited by laws of the state in which the Home is located, all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited to any implied warranty of habitability, are hereby expressly disclaimed and waived. The terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not be added to or varied either orally or in writing, and you agree to immediately notify Lennar if you believe any employee or agent of Lennar has added to or varied, either orally or in writing, the terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty. Such notification shall not be deemed as a modification of the agreement regardless of whether Lennar responds to the notice either verbally or in writing. In the event that any provision of the Lennar Limited Warranty is determined to be unenforceable in your state, such determination shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Lennar Limited Warranty.

 

Cap on Lennar Limited Warranty. Lennar’s total financial obligations under the Lennar Limited Warranty are limited to the original sales price of your Home. This cap is calculated based on the cumulative total of all repairs, replacements or payments made during the Lennar Limited Warranty. Our costs of designing, accomplishing and monitoring repair to your Home are included in this cumulate total.

 

Consequential Damages Not Covered. Lennar shall not be liable for, and you expressly waive recovery of, any consequential damages that may result from the condition of any component of the Home, including but limited to: any diminution in value of the Home before or after repairs are performed; lost profits; damages to personal property; any personal injury of any kind including physical or mental pain and suffering and emotional distress, and any medical or hospital expenses; costs of food, moving and storage, relocation expenses, or rental value of the Home or any other costs due to loss of use, inconvenience or annoyance during repairs. Lennar will, however, reimburse you for reasonable costs of temporary hotel accommodations and a reasonable daily food allowance for such period of time that the repairs required by the claim are so extensive that you cannot reasonably reside in the Home during the repairs.

 

Other Coverage. Lennar shall not be responsible for, and the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not cover, any damages, costs or expenses that are covered by your homeowners’ insurance or other insurance, government, or third party reimbursement programs. To the extent permitted by law, Buyer and Buyer’s insurance carrier waive any right of subrogation that Buyer or its insurance carrier may have in relation to any claim that may be made under this Warranty.

 

Not an Insurance Policy. The Lennar Limited Warranty is not an insurance policy and Lennar does not provide you any insurance through the Lennar Limited Warranty or otherwise. You should always obtain homeowners’ insurance to protect your Home, and your bank or other mortgage provider may require homeowners’ insurance if you have a mortgage.

 

Discretion to Repair, Replace or Make Payment. Lennar reserves the option, at its sole discretion, to repair, replace or pay you the reasonable cost of repair or replacement for any claim made under this Lennar Limited Warranty. The design method and manner of any repair shall also be at Lennar’s sole discretion.

 

Warranty Terms Not Extended. The warranty terms of the Lennar Limited Warranty shall not be extended by any repair, replacement or payment made under the Lennar Limited Warranty. There shall be no warranty, express or implied, arising from repair or replacement work performed by or on behalf of Lennar except for the remaining original warranty term.

 

Limitations on Structural Repairs. Structural repairs are limited to only those (i) repairs of damage to load-bearing portions of your Home that are necessary to restore their load-bearing function; (ii) repair of those non-load bearing portions damaged by the condition that gives rise to the claim and whose repair is necessary to make your Home safe, sanitary or otherwise livable; and (iii) repair and cosmetic correction of only those surfaces, finishes and coverings, original to the Home, that were damaged by the condition giving rise to the claim or by the repair of the condition giving rise to the claim.

 1-2-10 Single Family Home Warranty

 

Limitations on Post-Repair Condition of Home. Repairs undertaken under the Lennar Limited Warranty are intended to restore the Home to approximately the same condition as existed prior to the claim, but not necessarily to like-new condition.

 

Previously Known Conditions. The Lennar Limited Warranty covers only those conditions which first occur during the term of the Lennar Limited Warranty. In addition, any conditions you knew about prior to the Effective Date of Lennar Limited Warranty such as items identified in the “walk-through,” “punch-list,” or in the case of a previously owned home, conditions that were identified on a home inspection report or were apparent through any reasonable inspection are not covered by the Lennar Limited Warranty.

State Specific Limitations/Clarifications

If your Home is located in one of the states listed below, the information set forth for your state modifies or adds to the terms of this Warranty. If your Home is not located in one of the following states, the following language is inapplicable to you and your Lennar Limited Warranty. To the extent any applicable state statute invalidates any specific provision of this Warranty, the remaining provisions of the Warranty shall remain in full force and effect.

Lennar and Homeowner expressly agree that the arbitration provisions set forth in this Lennar Limited Warranty establish the exclusive means to resolve all disputes that may arise between you and Lennar (unless a statute expressly provides otherwise).

 

Maryland (Non-Montgomery County)

The Lennar Limited Warranty is intended to meet or exceed the terms and rights available under Maryland Code section 10-601, and Lennar warrants that for a period of two years, your Home will be free of any defect in the electrical, plumbing, heating, cooling, and ventilating systems. Notwithstanding provisions to the contrary in the Lennar Limited Warranty, Lennar warrants appliances, fixtures, and items of equipment that we install, but the warranty period is limited to the length and scope of the manufacturer’s warranty on the item.

You may obtain a copy of the applicable county warranty requirements from Montgomery County, directly.

 

Minnesota

The Lennar Limited Warranty is intended to meet or exceed the statutory warranties contained in Chapter 327A of Minnesota Statutes. Where the statutory coverage provides greater coverage than the Lennar Warranty Workmanship, Systems and Structural Standard, the statutory coverage shall apply.

 

The Minnesota Common Interest Ownership Act (Chapter 515B of Minnesota Statutes, also known as “MCIOA”) governs communities containing attached homes and communities containing detached homes with exterior maintenance provided by a homeowners’ association. With respect to homes that are subject to MCIOA, the Lennar Limited Warranty is intended to meet or exceed the statutory warranties contained in Sections 4-112 through 4-115 of MCIOA. Where the statutory coverage provides greater coverage than the Lennar Warranty Workmanship, Systems and Structural Standard, the statutory coverage shall apply.

Grading  

 

Performance Standard:

Settling around foundation walls, utility trenches or other filled areas that exceeds a maximum of six-inches from finished grade established by Builder is considered a deficiency.

 

Responsibility:

Builder shall take corrective action necessary to comply with the Standard. Builder’s responsibility is limited to a one-time repair during the Warranty Term. Homeowner is responsible for removal and replacement of shrubs and other landscaping affected by placement of the fill.

 

Exclusion:

Homeowner is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate ground cover. Landscape altered by the Homeowner voids the Warranty on settlement/grading.

Improper surface drainage

 

Performance Standard:

Deficiency is limited to grades within 10 feet and swales within 20 feet of Home. Standing or ponding water that remains in these areas for a period longer than 24 hours after a normal rain is considered a deficiency. In swales that drain from adjoining properties or where a sump pump discharges, water is not to remain in these areas for a period longer than 48 hours after a normal rain. The possibility of standing water after an unusually heavy rainfall should be anticipated and is not considered a deficiency. No grading determination is to be made while there is frost or snow or when the ground is saturated.

 

Responsibility:

Builder shall take corrective action necessary to comply with the Standard. Builder’s responsibility is limited to a one-time repair during the Warranty Term. Builder is only responsible for initially establishing the proper grades, swales and drainage away from the Home. The Homeowner is responsible for maintaining such grades and swales once constructed by the Builder. Builder is not responsible for drainage deficiencies attributable to grading requirements imposed by state, county or local governing agencies.

 

Exclusion:

Standing or ponding water outside of defined swales and beyond 10 feet from the foundation of the Home or that is within 10 feet but is caused by unusual grade conditions, or retention of treed areas, is not considered a deficiency. Standing or ponding water caused by changes in the grade or placement of sod, fencing, or any other obstructions by Homeowner is excluded from coverage. If the Homeowner adds a pool, patio or decks, Builder will no longer be responsible for any warranty claim for improper surface drainage.

EXHIBIT “A”

RBITRATION PROVISION

 

I. Dispute Resolution. Grantor and Grantee specifically agree that it is their desire to efficiently and quickly resolve any disputes that arise, that this transaction involves interstate commerce, and that any Dispute (as hereinafter defined) shall first be submitted to mediation and, if not settled during mediation, shall thereafter be submitted to binding arbitration as provided by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§1 et seq.) and not by or in a court of law or equity. “Disputes” (whether contract, warranty, tort, statutory or otherwise), shall include, but are not limited to, any and all controversies, disputes or claims: (1) arising under, or related to, this Deed, the Property, the underlying purchase agreement for the sale and conveyance of the Property, the community in which the Property is located, or any dealings between Grantor and Grantee; (2) arising by virtue of any representations, promises or warranties alleged to have been made by Grantor or Grantor’s representative; (3) relating to personal injury or property damage alleged to have been sustained by Grantee, Grantee’s children or other occupants of the Property, or in the community in which the Property is located; or (4) relating to issues of formation, validity or enforceability of this Exhibit "A".

 

2. Mediation. If the parties are unable to agree to a mediator, the parties will utilize the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) for this role. The parties expressly agree that the mediator’s charges shall be equally shared and that each party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees, including attorneys’ fees and consultant fees incurred in connection with the mediation.

 

3. rbitration. If the Dispute is not fully resolved by mediation, the Dispute shall be submitted to binding arbitration and administered by the AAA in accordance with the AAA’s Construction Industry Arbitration Rules. In no event shall the demand for arbitration be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on the Disputes would be barred by the applicable statute(s) of limitations, which such statute(s) of limitations the parties expressly agree apply to any Disputes. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on both parties. Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in and enforced by any court having jurisdiction over such Dispute. If the claimed amount exceeds $250,000.00 or includes a demand for punitive damages, the Dispute shall be heard and determined by three arbitrators; however, if mutually agreed to by the parties, then the Dispute shall be heard and determined by one arbitrator. All decisions respecting the arbitrability of any Dispute shall be decided by the arbitrator(s). Except as may be required by law or for confirmation of an award, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. Unless otherwise recoverable by law or statute, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and paraprofessional fees, for any mediation and arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a party unsuccessfully contests the validity or scope of arbitration in a court of law or equity, the non- contesting party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in defending such contest, including such fees and costs associated with any appellate proceedings. In addition, if a party fails to abide by the terms of a mediation settlement or arbitration award, the other party shall be awarded reasonable attorneys’ fees, paraprofessional fees and expenses incurred in enforcing such settlement or award.

4. GRANTOR AND GRANTEE AGREE THAT ANY LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING (WHICHEVER MAY APPLY) ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY DISPUTE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN TWO (2) YEARS AND ONE DAY FROM THE DATE THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE, SO THAT IF THE LAWSUIT OR ARBITRATION PROCEEDING IS NOT COMMENCED WITHIN THAT STATED PERIOD, THE DISPUTE IS BARRED AND WAIVED. FOR ARBITRATION PURPOSES, A CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL ACCRUE AS PROVIDED BY APPLICABLE STATUTE FOR THE INSTITUTION OF A LEGAL OR EQUITABLE PROCEEDING; AND IF THERE IS NO APPLICABLE STATUTE, THEN THE CAUSE OF ACTION, REGARDLESS OF THE GRANTEE’S LACK OF KNOWLEDGE, ACCRUES ON DISCOVERY OF THE INJURY.

 

5. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Grantor and Grantee agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any arbitration hereunder unless there is mutuality of parties. In addition, Grantor and Grantee further agree that no finding or stipulation of fact, no conclusion of law, and no arbitration award in any arbitration hereunder shall be given preclusive or collateral estoppel effect in any other arbitration, judicial, or similar proceeding unless there is mutuality of parties and then only as between those parties.

 

6. The waiver or invalidity of any portion of this Exhibit” A” shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Exhibit” ‘‘. Grantor and Grantee further agree (1) that any Dispute involving Grantor’s affiliates, directors, officers, employees and agents shall also be subject to mediation and arbitration as set forth herein, and shall not be pursued in a court of law or equity; (2) that Grantor may, at its sole election, include Grantor’s contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, as well as any warranty company and insurer or surety as parties in the mediation and arbitration; and (3) that the mediation and arbitration will be limited to the parties specified herein.

 

7. GRANTOR AND GRANTEE AGREE THAT THE PARTIES MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR COLLECTIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN CLAIMS REGARDING MORE THAN ONE PROPERTY AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR(S) MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT BE AWARDED ON CLASS-WIDE OR MASS-PARTY BASIS OR OTHERWISE AFFECT PARTIES WHO ARE NOT A PARTY TO THE ARBITRATION. NOTHING IN THE FOREGOING PREVENTS GRANTOR FROM EXERCISING ITS RIGHT TO INCLUDE IN THE MEDIATION AND ARBITRATION THOSE PERSONS OR ENTITIES REFERRED TO ABOVE.

 

 
5

 

 

8. Nothing herein shall extend the time period by which a claim or cause of action may be asserted under the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose, and in no event shall the Dispute be submitted for arbitration after the date when institution of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the underlying claims in such Dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations or statute of repose.

 

9. Other Dispute Resolutions. Notwithstanding the parties’ obligation to submit any Dispute to mediation and arbitration, in the event that a particular dispute is not subject to the mediation or the arbitration provisions of Exhibit "A" of this Deed, then the parties agree to the following provisions: GRANTEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT JUSTICE WILL BEST BE SERVED IF ISSUES REGARDING THIS DEED ARE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING, AND NOT A JURY. GRANTOR AND GRANTEE AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION, OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE HEARD BY A JUDGE IN A COURT PROCEEDING AND NOT A JURY. GRANTOR AND GRANTEE HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL. GRANTOR HEREBY SUGGESTS THAT GRANTEE CONTACT AN ATTORNEY OF GRANTEE’S CHOICE IF GRANTEE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES OF EXECUTING THIS DEED. For any Dispute that involves a claimed amount of less than $10,000, the parties may agree to litigate the Dispute before a judge in a court of small claims; however, any appeal of the judgment rendered in the small claims court will be subject to the mediation and arbitration provisions set forth in this Exhib11.

 

10. This Exhibit “A” shall run with the land and be binding upon the successors and assigns of Grantee.

4.1 Agreement to Lender. The proceeds of any award or claim for damages, direct or consequential, in connection with any condemnation or other taking of or damage or injury to the Mortgaged Property, or any part of it, or for conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are assigned to and shall be paid to Lender, regardless of whether Lender’s security is impaired. All causes of action, whether accrued before or after the date of this Security Instrument, of all types for damages or injury to the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, or in connection with any transaction financed by funds lent to Borrower by Lender and secured by this Security Instrument, or in connection with or affecting the Mortgaged Property or any part ofit, including, without limitation, causes of action arising in tort or contract or in equity, are assigned to Lender as additional security, and the proceeds shall be paid to Lender. Lender, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any such cause of action and may make any compromise or settlement of such action. Borrower shall notify Lender in writing immediately on obtaining knowledge of any casualty damage to the Mortgaged Property or damage in any other manner in excess of $2,000.00 or knowledge of the institution of any proceeding relating to condemnation or other taking of or damage or injury to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property. Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may pa11icipate in any such proceedings and may join Borrower in adjusting any loss covered by insurance. Borrower covenants and agrees with Lender, at Lender’s request, to make, execute, and deliver, at Borrower’s expense, any and all assignments and other instruments sufficient for the purpose of assigning the aforesaid award or awards, causes of action, or claims of damages or proceeds to Lender free, clear, and discharged of any and all encumbrances of any kind or nature.

 

 

4.2 Insurance Payments. All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action, and payments that Borrower may receive or to which Lender may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property if any damage or injury occurs to the Mortgaged Property, other than by a partial condemnation or other partial taking of the Mortgaged Property, shall be paid over to Lender and shall be applied first toward reimbursement of all costs and expenses of Lender in connection with their recovery and disbursement, and shall then be applied as follows:

 

4.2.1. Lender shall consent to the application of such payments to the restoration of the Mortgaged Property so damaged only if Borrower has met all the following conditions (a breach of any one of which shall constitute a default under this Security Instrument, the Loan Agreement, the Note, and any other Loan Documents): (a) Borrower is not in default under any of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Loan Documents; (b) all then-existing Leases affected in any way by such damage will continue in full force and effect; (c) Lender is satisfied that the insurance or award proceeds, plus any sums added by Borrower, shall be sufficient to fully restore and rebuild the Mortgaged Property under then current Governmental Requirements; (d) within 60 days after the damage to the Mortgaged Property, Borrower presents to Lender a restoration plan satisfactory to Lender and any local planning department, which includes cost estimates and schedules; (e) construction and completion of restoration and rebuilding of the Mortgaged Property shall be completed in accordance with plans and specifications and drawings submitted to Lender within 30 days after receipt by Lender of the restoration plan and thereafter approved by Lender, which plans, specifications, and drawings shall not be substantially modified, changed, or revised without Lender’s prior written consent; (f) within 3 months after such damage, Borrower and a licensed contractor satisfactory to Lender enter into a fixed price or guaranteed maximum price contract satisfactory to Lender, providing for complete restoration in accordance with such restoration plan for an amount not to exceed the amount of funds held or to be held by Lender; (g) all restoration of the Improvements so damaged or destroyed shall be made with reasonable promptness and shall be of a value at least equal to the value of the Improvements so damaged or destroyed before such damage or destruction; (h) Lender reasonably determines that there is an identified source (whether from income from the Mortgaged Property, rental loss insurance, or another source) sufficient to pay all debt service and operating expenses of the Mortgaged Property during its restoration as required above; and (i) any and all funds that are made available for restoration and rebuilding under this Section shall be disbursed, at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion to Lender, through Lender, the Trustee, or a title insurance or trust company satisfactory to Lender, in accordance with standard construction lending practices, including a reasonable fee payable to Lender from such funds and, if Lender requests, mechanics’ lien waivers and title insurance date-downs, and the provision of payment and performance bonds by Borrower, or in any other manner approved by Lender in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion; or

 

 
16

 

 

4.2.2. If fewer than all conditions (a) through (i) above are satisfied, then such payments shall be applied in the sole and absolute discretion of Lender (a) to the payment or prepayment, with any applicable prepayment premium, of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument in such order as Lender may determine, or (b) to the reimbursement of Borrower’s expenses incurred in the rebuilding and restoration of the Mortgaged Property. If Lender elects under this Section to make any funds available to restore the Mortgaged Property, then all of conditions (a) through (i) above shall apply, except for such conditions that Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive.

 

4.3 Material Loss Not Covered. If any material part of the Mortgaged Property is damaged or destroyed and the loss, measured by the replacement cost of the Improvements according to then current Governmental Requirements, is not adequately covered by insurance proceeds collected or in the process of collection, Borrower shall deposit with Lender, within 30 days after Lender’s request, the amount of the loss not so covered.

 

4.4 Total Condemnation Payments. All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action, and payments that Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property in the event of a total condemnation or other total taking of the Mortgaged Property shall be paid over to Lender and shall be applied first to reimbursement of all Lender’s costs and expenses in connection with their recovery, and shall then be applied to the payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument in such order as Lender may determine, until the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument has been paid and satisfied in full. Any surplus remaining after payment and satisfaction of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument shall be paid to Borrower as its interest may then appear.

 

4.5 Partial Condemnation Payment. All compensation, awards, proceeds, damages, claims, insurance recoveries, rights of action, and payments (“Awarded Funds”) that Borrower may receive or to which Borrower may become entitled with respect to the Mortgaged Property in the event of a partial condemnation or other partial taking of the Mortgaged Property, unless Borrower and Lender otherwise agree in writing, shall be divided into two portions, one equal to the principal balance of the Note at the time of receipt of such Awarded Funds and the other equal to the amount by which such Awarded Funds exceed the principal balance of the Note at the time of receipt of such Awarded Funds. The first such portion shall be applied to the sums secured by this Security Instrument, whether or not then due, including but not limited to principal, accrued interest, and advances, and in such order or combination as Lender may determine, with the balance of the funds paid to Borrower.

 

4.6 Cure of Waiver of Default. Any application of such Awarded Funds or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Security Instrument or invalidate any act done under any such default or notice.

 

5. Taxes and Other Sums Due. Borrower shall promptly pay, satisfy, and discharge: (a) all Impositions affecting the Mortgaged Property before they become delinquent; (b) such other amounts, chargeable against Borrower or the Mortgaged Property, as Lender reasonably deems necessary to protect and preserve the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, or Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations; (c) all encumbrances, charges, and liens on the Mortgaged Property, with interest, which in Lender’s judgment are, or appear to be, prior or superior to the lien of this Security Instrument or all costs necessary to obtain protection against such lien or charge by title insurance endorsement or surety company bond; (d) such other charges as Lender deems reasonable for services rendered by Lender at Bo1TOwer’s request; and (e) all costs, fees, and expenses incurred by Lender in connection with this Security Instrument, whether or not specified in this Security Instrument.

 

 
17

 

 

On Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly furnish Lender with all notices of sums due for any amounts specified in the preceding clauses 5(a) through (e), and, on payment, with written evidence of such payment. If Borrower fails to promptly make any payment required under this Section, Lender may (but is not obligated to) make such payment. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice of any increase in the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property and agrees that Lender, in Borrower’s name, may (but is not obligated to) contest by appropriate proceedings such increase in assessment. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not allow any lien inferior to the lien of this Security Instrument to be perfected against the Mortgaged Property and shall not permit any improvement bond for any unpaid special assessment to issue.

 

6. Leases of Mortgaged Prnpertvby13orrower. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of it then in force. If Lender so requires, all Leases later entered into by Borrower are subject to Lender’s prior review and approval and must be acceptable to Lender in form and content. Each Lease must specifically provide, inter alia, that (a) it is subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument; (b) the tenant attorns to Lender (and Borrower consents to any such attomment), such attornment to be effective on Lender’s acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property; (c) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidence of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (d) the tenant’s attornment shall not be terminated by foreclosure; and (e) Lender, at Lender’s option, may accept or reject such attornment. If Borrower learns that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act that may give rise to any right of setoff against Rent, Borrower shall immediately (i) take measures reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any such right of setoff; (ii) notify Lender of all measures so taken and of the amount of any setoff claimed by any such tenant; and (iii) within 10 days after the accrual of any right of setoff against Rent, reimburse any tenant who has acquired such right, in full, or take other measures that will effectively discharge such setoff and ensure that rents subsequently due shall continue to be payable without claim of setoff or deduction.

 

At Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign to Lender, by written instrument satisfactory to Lender, all Leases of the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits made by tenants in connection with such Leases. On assignment to Lender of any such Lease, Lender shall succeed to all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to such Lease, and Lender, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to modify, extend, or terminate such Lease and to execute other further leases with respect to the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of such assigned Lease.

 

Neither Borrower, tenant nor any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property shall use the Mortgaged Property, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; nor shall Borrower, tenant or any other occupant cause the Mortgaged Property to become subject to any use that is not in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

 

If Borrower suspects any tenant or other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is using the Mortgaged Property in a manner that is not in compliance with any Governmental Requirement to which Borrower, tenant, or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is subject, Borrower shall immediately take appropriate action to remedy the violation, and shall notify Lender of any potential violation within one (1) day of discovery of any such potential violation. Any potential violation by a tenant or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property of any Governmental Requirement is an Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Note and this Security Instrument; and upon the occurrence of any such violation, Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

 

 
18

 

 

1. Right to Collect and Receive Rents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Lender grants permission to Borrower to collect and retain the Rents of the Mortgaged Property as they become due and payable; however, such permission to Borrower shall be automatically revoked on default by Borrower in payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or in the performance of any of the Obligations, and Lender shall have the rights set forth in the laws and regulations where the Mortgaged Property is located regardless of whether declaration of default has been delivered, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Failure of or discontinuance by Lender at any time, or from time to time, to collect any such Rents shall not in any manner affect the subsequent enforcement by Lender at any time, or from time to time, of the right, power, and authority to collect these Rents. The receipt and application by Lender of all such Rents under this Security Instrument, after execution and delivery of declaration of default and demand for sale as provided in this Security Instrument or during the pendency of trustee’s sale proceedings under this Security Instrument or judicial foreclosure, shall neither cure such breach or default nor affect such sale proceedings, or any sale made under them, but such Rents, less all costs of operation, maintenance, collection, and Attorneys’ Fees, when received by Lender, may be applied in reduction of the entire Indebtedness from time to time secured by this Security Instrument, in such order as Lender may decide. Nothing in this Security Instrument, nor the exercise of Lender’s right to collect, nor an assumption by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor a subordination of the lien or charge of this Security Instrument to, any such tenancy, lease, or option, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option.

 

If the Rents of the Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Security Instrument. Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable on notice from Lender to Borrower requesting such payment and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements, in which event the amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate that may be collected from Borrower under Governmental Requirements.

 

Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Lender will have no liability to Borrower or any other person for Lender’s failure or inability to collect Rents from the Mortgaged Property or for failing to collect such Rents in an amount that is equal to the fair market rental value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower understands and agrees that neither the assignment of Rents to Lender nor the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under this Security Instrument shall be deemed to make Lender a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it, unless and until Lender, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession of it. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property by any court at the request of Lender or by agreement with Borrower, or the entering into possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it by such receiver be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it.

 

 
19

 

 

During an Event of Default, any and all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with Borrower’s funds and property, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender.

 

8. Assignment of Causes of Action, Awards, and Damages. All causes of action, and all sums due or payable to Borrower for injury or damage to the Mortgaged Property, or as damages incurred in connection with the transactions in which the Loan secured by this Security Instrument was made, including, without limitation, causes of action and damages for breach of contract, fraud, concealment, construction defects, or other torts, or compensation for any conveyance in lieu of condemnation, are assigned to Lender, and all proceeds from such causes of action and all such sums shall be paid to Lender for credit against the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice that any such sums have become due or payable and, immediately on receipt of any such sums, shall promptly remit such sums to Lender.

 

After deducting all expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees, incurred by Lender in recovering or collecting any sums under this Section, Lender may apply or release the balance of any funds received by it under this Section, or any part of such balance, as it elects. Lender, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action assigned to it under this Section and may make any compromise or settlement in such action whatsoever. Borrower covenants that it shall execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of any such compensation awards, damages, or causes of action as Lender may request from time to time. If Lender fails or does not elect to prosecute any such action or proceeding and Borrower elects to do so, Borrower may conduct the action or proceeding at its own expense and risk.

 

9. Defense of Security Instrument; Litigation. Borrower represents and warrants that this Security Instrument creates a first position lien and security interest against the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall give Lender immediate written notice of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any judicial, whether civil, criminal, or probate, or nonjudicial proceeding to foreclose the lien of a junior or senior mortgage or deed of trust) affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender under the Loan Documents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Borrower agrees that Lender or Trustee may (but is not obligated to) commence, appear in, prosecute, defend, compromise, and settle, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, and as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, and incur necessary costs and expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees in so doing, any action or proceeding, whether a civil, criminal, or probate judicial matter, nonjudicial proceeding, arbitration, or other alternative dispute resolution procedure, reasonably necessary to preserve or protect, or affecting or purporting to affect, the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, and that if Lender and Trustee elect not to do so, Borrower shall commence, appear in, prosecute, and defend any such action or proceeding. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender and Trustee, including costs of evidence of title and Attorneys’ Fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Lender or Trustee may appear or for which legal counsel is sought, whether by virtue of being made a party defendant or otherwise, and whether or not the interest of Lender or Trustee in the Mortgaged Property is directly questioned in such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, any action for the condemnation or partition of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and any action brought by Lender to foreclose this Security Instrument or to enforce any of its terms or provisions.

 

 
20

 

 

10. Borrower’ Failure to Comply With Security Investment. If Borrower fails to make any payment or do any act required by this Security Instrument, or if there is any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any judicial or nonjudicial proceeding to foreclose the lien of a junior or senior mortgage or deed of trust) affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Agreement, the Note or this Security Instrument, Lender or Trustee may (but is not obligated to) (a) make any such payment or do any such act in such manner and to such extent as either deems necessary to preserve or protect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, or Lender’s security for the performance of Borrower’s Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, Lender and Trustee being authorized to enter on the Mortgaged Property for any such purpose; and (b) in exercising any such power, pay necessary expenses, retain attorneys, and pay Attorneys’ Fees incurred in connection with such action, without notice to or demand on Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any Obligations or Indebtedness.

 

11. Sums Advanced to Bear Interest and to Be Secured by Security Instrument. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall immediately pay any sums advanced or paid by Lender or Trustee under any provision of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. Until so repaid, all such sums and all other sums payable to Lender and Trustee shall be added to, and become a part of, the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument and bear interest from the date of advancement or payment by Lender or Trustee at the Default Rate provided in the Note, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements. All sums advanced by Lender under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, shall have the same priority to which the Security Instrument otherwise would be entitled as of the date this Security Instrument is executed and recorded, without regard to the fact that any such future advances may occur after this Security Instrument is executed, and shall conclusively be deemed to be mandatory advances required to preserve and protect this Security Instrument and Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, and shall be secured by this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same priority as the principal and interest payable under the Note.

 

12. Inspection of Mortgaged Property. In addition to any rights Lender may have under the laws and regulations where the Mortgaged Property is located, Lender may make, or authorize other persons, including, but not limited to, appraisers and prospective purchasers at any foreclosure sale commenced by Lender, to enter on or inspect the Mortgaged Property at reasonable times and for reasonable durations. Borrower shall permit all such entries and inspections to be made as long as Lender has given Borrower written notice of such inspection at least 24 hours before the entry and inspection.

 

13. Uniform Commercial Code Security Agreement. This Security Instrument is intended to be and shall constitute a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code for any of the Personalty specified as part of the Mortgaged Property that, under Governmental Requirements, may be subject to a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code, and Borrower grants to Lender a security interest in those items. Borrower authorizes Lender to file financing statements in all states, counties, and other jurisdictions as Lender may elect, without Borrower’s signature if permitted by law. Borrower agrees that Lender may file this Security Instrument, or a copy of it, in the real estate records or other appropriate index or in the Office of the Secretary of State and such other states as the Lender may elect, as a financing statement for any of the items specified above as part of the Mortgaged Property. Any reproduction of this Security Instrument or executed duplicate original of this Security Instrument, or a copy certified by a County Recorder in the state where the Mortgaged Property is located, or of any other security agreement or financing statement, shall be sufficient as a financing statement. In addition, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Lender, at Lender’s request, any UCC financing statements, as well as any extensions, renewals, and amendments, and copies of this Security Instrument in such form as Lender may require to perfect a security interest with respect to the Personalty. Borrower shall pay all costs of filing such financing statements and any extensions, renewals, amendments, and releases of such statements, and shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements that Lender may reasonably require. Without the prior written consent of Lender, Borrower shall not create or suffer to be created any other security interest in the items, including any replacements and additions.

 

 
21

 

 

On any Event of Default, Lender shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and, at Lender’s option, may also invoke the remedies provided in the Non-Uniform Covenants section of this Security Instrument as to such items. In exercising any of these remedies, Lender may proceed against the items of Mortgaged Property and any items of Personalty separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender’s remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the remedies provided in the Non-Uniform Covenants section of this Security Instrument.

 

14. Fixture Filing. This Security Instrument constitutes a financing statement filed as a fixture filing under the Uniform Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, covering any portion of the Mortgaged Property that now is or later may become a fixture attached to the Mortgaged Property or to any Improvement. The addresses of Borrower (“Debtor”) and Lender (“Secured Party”) are set forth on the first page of this Security Instrument.

 

15. Waiver of Statute of Limitations. Borrower waives the right to assert any statute of limitations as a defense to the Loan Documents and the Obligations secured by this Security Instrument, to the fullest extent permitted by Governmental Requirements.

 

16. Default. Any Event of Default, as defined in the Loan Agreement, shall constitute an “Event of Default” as that term is used in this Security Instrument (and the term “Default” shall mean any event which, with any required lapse of time or notice, may constitute an Event of Default, whether or not any such requirement for notice or lapse of time has been satisfied).

 

17. Acceleration on Transfer, Encumbrance.

 

17.1 Acceleration on Transfer or Encumbrance of Mortgaged Property. If Borrower sells, gives an option to purchase, exchanges, assigns, conveys, encumbers (including, but not limited to PACE/HERO loans, any loans where payments are collected through property tax assessments, and super- voluntary liens which are deemed to have priority over the lien of the Security Instrument) (other than with a Permitted Encumbrance), transfers possession, or alienates all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any of Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Mortgaged Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of any interests in Borrower; or if Borrower changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Mortgaged Property, or drills or extracts or enters into any lease for the drilling or extracting of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Mortgaged Property; or if title to such Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Lender’s prior written consent, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents. For purposes of this Section “interest in the Mortgaged Property” means any legal or beneficial interest in the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, those beneficial interests transferred in a bond for deed, contract for deed, installment sales contract, or escrow agreement, the intent of which is the transfer of title by B01Tower to a purchaser at a future date.

17.2 Replacement Personalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower may from time to time replace Personalty constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, as long as (a) the replacements for such Personalty are of equivalent value and quality; (b) Borrower has good and clear title to such replacement Personalty free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests, ownership interests, claims of title (contingent or otherwise), or charges of any kind, or the rights of any conditional sellers, vendors, or any other third parties in or to such replacement Personalty have been expressly subordinated to the lien of the Security Instrument in a manner satisfactory to Lender and at no cost to Lender; and (c) at Lender’s option, Borrower provides at no cost to Lender satisfactory evidence that the Security Instrument constitutes a valid and subsisting lien on and security interest in such replacement Personalty of the same priority as this Security Instrument has on the Mortgaged Property and is not subject to being subordinated or its priority affected under any Governmental Requirements.

 

17.3 Junior Liens. If Lender consents in writing, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the due-on-encumbrance prohibition shall not apply to a junior voluntary deed of trust or mortgage lien in favor of another lender encumbering the Mortgaged Property (the principal balance of any such junior encumbrance shall be added to the principal balance of the Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement and the Note). Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such encumbrance. Should Borrower fail to obtain Lender’s express written consent to any junior voluntary lien, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice and subject to Applicable Law, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of any their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

 

18. Waiver of Marshaling. Despite the existence of interests in the Mortgaged Property other than that created by this Security Instrument, and despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, if Borrower defaults in paying the Indebtedness or in performing any Obligations, Lender shall have the right, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, to establish the order in which the Mortgaged Property will be subjected to the remedies provided in this Security Instrument and to establish the order in which all or any part of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument is satisfied from the proceeds realized on the exercise of the remedies provided in this Security Instrument. Borrower and any person who now has or later acquires any interest in the Mortgaged Property with actual or constructive notice of this Security Instrument waives any and all rights to require a marshaling of assets in connection with the exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Security Instrument or otherwise provided by Governmental Requirements.

 

19. Consents and Modifications; Borrower and Lien Not Released. Despite Borrower’s default in the payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or in the performance of any Obligations under this Security Instrument or Borrower’s breach of any obligation, covenant, or agreement in the Loan Documents, Lender, at Lender’s option, without notice to or consent from Borrower, any guarantor of the Indebtedness and of Borrower’s Obligations under the Loan Documents, or any holder or claimant of a lien or interest in the Mortgaged Property that is junior to the lien of this Security Instrument, and without incurring liability to Borrower or any other person by so doing, may from time to time (a) extend the time for payment of all or any portion of Borrower’s Indebtedness under the Loan Documents; (b) accept a renewal note or notes, or release any person from liability, for all or any portion of such Indebtedness; (c) agree with Borrower to modify the tenns and conditions of payment under the Loan Documents; (d) reduce the amount of the monthly installments due under the Note; (e) reconvey or release other or additional security for the repayment of Borrower’s Indebtedness under the Loan Documents; (f) approve the preparation or filing of any map or plat with respect to the Mortgaged Property; (g) enter into any extension or subordination agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Security Instrument; and (h) agree with Borrower to modify the term, the rate of interest, or the period of amortization of the Note or alter the amount of the monthly installments payable under the Note. No action taken by Lender under this Section shall be effective unless it is in writing, subscribed by Lender, and, except as expressly stated in such writing, no such action will impair or affect (i) Borrower’s obligation to pay the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument and to observe all Obligations of Borrower contained in the Loan Documents; (ii) the guaranty of any Person of the payment of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument; or (iii) the lien or priority of the lien of this Security Instrument. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly pay Lender a reasonable service charge, together with all insurance premiums and Attorneys’ Fees as Lender may have advanced, for any action taken by Lender under this Section.

 

 
23

 

 

Whenever Lender’s consent or approval is specified as a condition of any provision of this Security Instrument, such consent or approval shall not be effective unless such consent or approval is in writing, signed by two authorized officers of Lender.

 

20. Future Advances. On request by Borrower, Lender, at Lender’s option, may make future advances to Borrower. All such future advances, with interest, shall be added to and become a part of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument when evidenced by promissory notes reciting that such note(s) are secured by this Security Instrument.

 

21. Prepayment. If the Loan Documents provide for a fee or charge as consideration for the acceptance of prepayment of principal, Borrower agrees to pay said fee or charge if the Indebtedness or any part of it shall be paid, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, before the due date stated in the Note, even if Borrower has defaulted in payment or in the performance of any agreement under the Loan Documents and Lender has declared all sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately due and payable.

 

22. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction and Venue. This Loan is made by Lender and accepted by Borrower in the State of Texas except that at all times the provisions for the creation, perfection, priority, enforcement and foreclosure of the liens and security interests created in the Mortgaged Property under the Loan Documents shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated. To the fullest extent permitted by the law of the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated, the law of the State of Texas shall govern the validity and enforceability of all Loan Documents, and the debt or obligations arising hereunder (but the foregoing shall not be construed to limit Lender’s rights with respect to such security interest created in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is situated). The parties agree that jurisdiction and venue for any dispute, claim or controversy arising, other than with respect to perfection and enforcement of Lender’s rights against the Mortgaged Property, shall be Travis County, Texas, or the applicable federal district court that covers said County, and Borrower submits to personal jurisdiction in that forum for any and all purposes. Borrower waives any right Borrower may have to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or to object to such venue.

23. Taxation of Security Instrument. In the event of the enactment of any law deducting from the value of the Mortgaged Property any mortgage lien on it, or imposing on Lender the payment of all or part of the taxes, charges, or assessments previously paid by Borrower under this Security Instrument, or changing the law relating to the taxation of mortgages, debts secured by mortgages, or Lender’s interest in the Mortgaged Property so as to impose new incidents of tax on Lender, then Borrower shall pay such taxes or assessments or shall reimburse Lender for them; provided, however, that if in the opinion of Lender’s counsel such payment cannot lawfully be made by Borrower, then Lender may, at Lender’s option, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument to be immediately due and payable without notice to Borrower. Lender may invoke any remedies permitted by this Security Instrument.

 

24. Mechanic’s Liens. Borrower shall pay from time to time when due, all lawful claims and demands of mechanics, materialmen, laborers, and others that, if unpaid, might result in, or permit the creation of, a lien on the Mortgaged Property or any part of it, or on the Rents arising therefrom, and in general shall do or cause to be done everything necessary so that the lien and security interest of this Security Instrument shall be fully preserved, at Borrower’s expense, without expense to Lender; provided, however, that if Governmental Requirements empower Borrower to discharge of record any mechanic’s, laborer’s, materialman’s, or other lien against the Mortgaged Property by the posting of a bond or other security, Borrower shall not have to make such payment if Borrower posts such bond or other security on the earlier of (a) 10 days after the filing or recording of same or (b) within the time prescribed by law, so as not to place the Mortgaged Property in jeopardy of a lien or forfeiture.

 

25. Liability for Acts or Omis ions. Lender shall not be liable or responsible for its acts or omissions under this Security Instrument, except for Lender’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct, or be liable or responsible for any acts or omissions of any agent, attorney, or employee of Lender, if selected with reasonable care.

 

26. Notices. Except for any notice required by Governmental Requirements to be given in another manner, any notice required to be provided in this Security Instrument shall be given in accordance with the Loan Agreement.

 

27. Statement of Obligation. Except as otherwise provided by Governmental Requirements, at Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly pay to Lender such fee as may then be provided by law as the maximum charge for each statement of obligations, Lender’s statement, Lender’s demand, payoff statement, or other statement on the condition of, or balance owed, under the Note or secured by this Security Instrument.

 

28. Remedies Are Cumulative. Each remedy in this Security Instrument is separate and distinct and is cumulative to all other rights and remedies provided by this Security Instrument or by Governmental Requirements, and each may be exercised concurrently, independently, or successively, in any order whatsoever.

 

29. Obligations of Borrower Joint and Several. If more than one Person is named as Borrower, each obligation of Borrower under this Security Instrument shall be the joint and several obligations of each such Person.

 

30. Delegation of Authority. Whenever this Security Instrument provides that Borrower authorizes and appoints Lender as Borrower’s attorney-in-fact to perform any act for or on behalf of Borrower or in the name, place, and stead of Borrower, Borrower expressly understands and agrees that this authority shall be deemed a power coupled with an interest and such power shall be irrevocable.

 

 
25

 

 

31. Funds for Taxes Insurance, and Jmpoitions. If Borrower is in default under this Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether the default has been cured, then Lender may at any subsequent time, at its option to be exercised on 30 days written notice to Borrower, require Borrower to deposit with Lender or its designee, at the time of each payment of an installment of interest or principal under the Note, an additional amount sufficient to discharge the Impositions as they become due. The calculation of the amount payable and of the fractional part ofit to be deposited with Lender shall be made by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. These amounts shall be held by Lender or its designee not in trust and not as agent of Borrower and shall not bear interest, and shall be applied to the payment of any of the Impositions under the Loan Documents in such order or priority as Lender shall determine. If at any time within 30 days before the due date of these obligations the amounts then on deposit shall be insufficient to pay the obligations under the Note and this Security Instrument in full, Borrower shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Lender within 10 days after Lender’s demand. If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Lender may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the excess in a reserve account, not in trust and not bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required monthly deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lender under any other provision of this Security Instrument or under any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Lender shall have no obligation to pay insurance premiums or taxes except to the extent the fund established under this Section is sufficient to pay such premiums or taxes, to obtain insurance, or to notify Borrower of any matters relative to the insurance or taxes for which the fund is established under this Section. Notwithstanding the preceding, Borrower and Lender may agree to impounds of taxes and insurance which impounds shall be identified in the Note.

 

Lender or its designee shall hold all amounts so deposited as additional security for the sums secured by this Security Instrument. Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Security Instrument, apply such amounts or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, and such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Security Instrument.

 

If Lender requires deposits to be made under this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements for insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as Borrower receives such documents.

 

If Lender sells or assigns this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section to the purchaser or assignee. After such a transfer, Lender shall be relieved and have no further liability under this Security Instrument for the application of such deposits, and Borrower shall look solely to such purchaser or assignee for such application and for all responsibility relating to such deposits.

Lender may exercise the rights set forth in the foregoing clauses (a) through (d), inclusive, before, during, or after the pendency of any proceeding referred to in the Section above. Neither the exercise of self-help remedies nor the institution or maintenance of an action for foreclosure or provisional or ancillary remedies or the opposition to any such provisional remedies shall constitute a waiver of the right of any Borrower, Lender or any other party, including, but not limited to, the claimant in any such action, to require submission of the dispute, claim or controversy occasioning resort to such remedies to any proceeding referred to in the Section above.

If any of the Mortgaged Property includes a unit or units in, together with an undivided interest in the common elements of, a condominium project (the “Condominium Project”) or a Planned Unit Development (“PUD”), the following additional requirements shall be in place.

 

36.1 Additional equity. If the owners association or other entity which acts for the Condominium Project and/or PUD (the “Owners Association”) holds title to property for the benefit or use of its members or shareholders, the Mortgaged Property also includes Borrower’s interest in the Owners Association and the uses, proceeds and benefits of Borrower’s interest.

NON-UNIFORM COVENANTS.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Security Instrument, Borrower and Lender further covenant and agree as follows:

 

37. Acceleration and Sale on Default. If an Event of Default occurs, Lender, at its option, in addition to other remedies provided at law, may declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument immediately due and payable and may, at Lender’s option, direct Trustee to foreclose upon the Mortgage Property in accordance with Chapter 51 of the Texas Property Code, as the same may be amended from time to time.

 

 
28

 

 

Trustee, when requested to do so by Lender after such an Event of Default as aforesaid, shall sell all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property at public auction, to the highest bidder for cash, at the county courthouse of the county in Texas in which the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof is situated in the area in or about such courthouse designated for real property foreclosure sales in accordance with Applicable Law (or in the absence of such designation, in the area set forth in the notice of sale hereinafter described), between the hours of I 0:00 o’clock A.M. and 4:00 o’clock P.M., on the first Tuesday of any month, after giving notice of the time, place and terms of said sale, and of the property to be sold in accordance with Applicable Laws in the State of Texas in effect at the time such notice is given, provided however, such sale shall begin at the time stated in such notice or within three (3) hours thereafter.

 

Notice of such proposed sale shall be given by posting written notice of the sale at the courthouse, and, except as otherwise permitted or required by Applicable Law, by filing a copy of the notice in the office of the county clerk of the county in which the sale is to be made at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of the sale. If the property to be sold is situated in more than one county, a notice shall be posted at the courthouse and filed with the county clerk of each county in which the property to be sold is situated. In addition, Lender shall, at least twenty-one (21) days preceding the date of sale, serve written notice of the proposed sale by certified mail on each debtor obligated to pay the debt secured hereby according to the records of Lender. Service of such notice shall be completed upon deposit of the notice, enclosed in a postpaid wrapper, properly addressed to such debtor at the most recent address as shown by the records of Lender, in a post office or official depository under the care and custody of the United States Postal Service. The affidavit of any person having knowledge of the facts to the effect that such service was completed shall be prima facie evidence of the fact of service.

 

Any notice that is required or permitted to be given to Borrower may be addressed to Borrower at Borrower’s address as stated on the first page hereof. Any notice that is to be given by certified mail to any other debtor may, if no address for such other debtor is shown by the records of Lender, be addressed to such other debtor at the address of Borrower as is shown by the records of Lender. Trustee may appoint any attorney-in-fact or agent to act in his or her stead as Trustee to perform all duties of the Trustee authorized herein. Borrower authorizes and empowers Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Property, together or in lots or parcels, as Trustee shall deem expedient; to receive the proceeds of said sale; and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof good and sufficient deeds of conveyance thereto by fee simple title, with covenants of general warranty, and Borrower binds itself, himself or herself to warrant and forever defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement made at the initial time and place of sale, and from time to time later by public announcement made at the time and place of sale fixed by the preceding postponement. Any person, including Borrower, Trustee, or Lender, may purchase at such sale. Lender may offset its bid at such sale to the extent of the full amount owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Trustee’s fees, expenses of sale, and costs, expenses, and Attorneys’ Fees incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection with collecting, litigating, or otherwise enforcing any right under the Loan Documents.

 

The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, together with any other sums secured by this Security Instrument, which then may be held by the Trustee or Lender or any other person, shall be applied as follows: (J) To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including Trustee’s fees, costs of title evidence, Attorneys’ Fees, and reasonable compensation to Lender and its agents and consultants, and of any judicial proceedings in which the same costs and expenses of sale may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities, and advances made or incurred by the Trustee or Lender under this Security Instrument, together with interest at the rate set forth in the Note on all advances made by the Trustee or Lender and all taxes or assessments, except any taxes, assessments, or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property was sold; (2) to the payment of the whole amount then due, owing, or unpaid on the Note for interest and principal, with interest on the unpaid principal at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), from the due date of any such payment of principal until the same is paid; (3) to the payment of any other Indebtedness required to be paid by Borrower under any provision of this Security Instrument, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents; and (4) to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive it.

 

 
29

 

 

38. Trustee. The Trustee shall be deemed to have accepted the tenns of this trust when this Security Instrument, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. The Trustee shall not be obligated to notify any party to this Security Instrument of any pending sale under any other Security Instrument or of any action or proceeding in which Bo1rnwer, Lender, or Trustee is a party, unless such sale relates to or reasonably might affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the payment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the Obligations, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, or unless such action or proceeding has been instituted by Trustee against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, or Lender.

 

In case of any sale hereunder, all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been performed, and in conveyance given hereunder, all statements of facts or other recitals made therein as to any of the following, shall be taken in all courts of law or equity as prima facie evidence that the facts so stated or recited are true; i.e., the nonpayment of money secured; the request to Trustee to enforce this trust; the proper and due appointment of any substitute trustee; the advertisement of sale or time, place and manner of sale; or any other preliminary fact or thing. Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Trustee in good faith and reasonably believed to be within the discretion or power conferred upon Trustee by this Security Instrument and shall be answerable only for losses occurring through his or her gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to save and hold Trustee and Lender harmless from all loss and expense, including reasonable Attorneys’ Fee, costs of a title search or abstract, and preparation of survey, incurred by reason of any action, suit or proceeding (including an action, suit or proceeding to foreclose or to collect the debt secured hereby) in and to which Trustee or Lender may be or become a party by reason hereof, including but not limited to, condemnation, bankruptcy and administration proceedings, as well as any other proceeding wherein proof of claim is required by law to be filed or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the terms of this Security Instrument, and in each such instance, all money paid or expended by Trustee or Lender, together with interest thereon from date of such payment at the rate set forth in said Note or at the Default Rate, whichever is higher, shall be so much additional indebtedness secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

 

39. Power of Trustee to Reconvey or Consent. At any time, without liability and without notice to Borrower, on Lender’s written request and presentation of the Note and this Security Instrument to Trustee for endorsement, and without altering or affecting (a) the personal liability of Borrower or any other person for the payment of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, or (b) the lien of this Security Instrument on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property as security for the repayment of the full amount of the Indebtedness then or later secured by this Security Instrument, (c) or any right or power of Lender or Trustee with respect to the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, Trustee may (i) reconvey or release any part of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of this Security Instrument; (ii) approve the preparation or filing of any map or plat of the Mortgaged Property; (iii) join in the granting of any easement burdening the Mortgaged Property; or (iv) enter into any extension or subordination agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Security Instrument.

40. Duty to Reconvey. On Lender’s written request reciting that all sums secured hereby have been paid, surrender of the Note and this Security Instrument to Trustee for cancellation and retention by Trustee, and payment by Borrower of any reconveyance fees customarily charged by Trustee, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Mortgaged Property then held by Trustee under this Security Instrument. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters of fact shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled to the Mortgaged Property.” Such request and reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of the Rents assigned to Lender in this Security Instrument.

 

41. Substitution of Trustee. Lender, at Lender’s option, may from time to time, by written instrument, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named in or acting under this Security Instrument, which instrument, when executed and acknowledged by Lender and recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county or counties in which the Mortgaged Property is located, shall constitute conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all right, title, estate, powers, and duties of such predecessor Trustee, including, without limitation, the power to reconvey the Mortgaged Property. To be effective, the instrument must contain the names of the original Borrower, Trustee, and Lender under this Security Instrument, the book and page or instrument or document number at which, and the county or counties in which, this Security Instrument is recorded, and the name and address of the substitute Trustee. If any notice of default has been recorded under this Security Instrument, this power of substitution cannot be exercised until all costs, fees, and expenses of the then acting Trustee have been paid. On such payment, the then acting Trustee shall endorse receipt of the payment on the instrument of substitution. The procedure provided in this Section for substitution of Trustees is not exclusive of other provisions for substitution provided by Governmental Requirements.

 

42. Collection of Rent . During an Event of Default, any and all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with Borrower’s funds and property, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender. This instrument constitutes an assignment of rents and a security instrument under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code (SB 889 as enacted June 2011) and affords Lender, as beneficiary hereunder, all rights and remedies of an assignee under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code. This assignment of rents secures the Indebtedness, and a security interest in all rents from the Mortgaged Property is hereby created under Chapter 64 of the Texas Property Code to secure the Obligations.

 

If the Lender deems it necessary or convenient to have the rents collected by a receiver appointed for that purpose following an event of default, the Lender may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness and without regard for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Indebtedness and shall have a receiver appointed. The Borrower further hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver should Lender elect to seek such relief.

43. Waiver of Right of Offset; Waiver of Deficiency Statutes. No portion of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument shall be or be deemed to be offset or compensated by all or any part of any claim, cause of action, counterclaim, or cross-claim, whether liquidated or unliquidated, that Borrower may have or claim to have against Lender. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies under Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended or re-codified (the “Deficiency Statutes”), including without limitation, the right to seek a credit against or offset of any deficiency judgment based on the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property sold at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure; and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and/or any other party obligated on the Indebtedness secured hereby equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Indebtedness secured hereby and the foreclosure sales price. Alternatively, in the event the foregoing waiver is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by any of the Deficiency Statues: (a) the Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure: (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but not later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance premiums, cost of a survey, tax prorations, Attorneys’ Fees, and marketing costs; (d) the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property pending sale, including without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, security, taxes and assessments (without duplication), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property and taking into consideration the factors set forth above.

 

44. NO SUBORDINATE FINANCING. NO FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES MAY BE RECORDED AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROVISION SHALL CONSTITUTE AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND, AT THE LENDER’S OPTION, THE LOAN SHALL IMMEDIATELY BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. CONSENT TO ONE FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A WAIYER OF THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE SUCH CONSENT TO FUTURE OR SUCCESSIVE ENCUMBRANCES.

 

45. WAIVER OF NOTICES. Except as provided in the Note and as otherwise provided herein, unless (and then to the extent not) prohibited by Applicable Law, the Borrower, and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other person liable or to become liable for payment of any of the Indebtedness:

 

 

(i)

waive: opportunity to cure breach or default; grace; all notices, demands and presentments for payment; all notices of dishonor, non-payment, acceleration of maturity or intention to accelerate maturity; protest; dishonor; all other notices whatsoever; and, diligence in taking any action to collect amounts secured hereunder or in the handling of any collateral securing the Obligations at any time; and,

 

 

 

 

(ii)

consent and agree (without notice of any of the following): to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security for the Obligations or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Indebtedness; that the Lender shall not be required first to institute suit or exhaust his remedies against the Borrower or others liable or to become liable on the Obligations or to enforce his rights against them or any security therefor; and, to any extension, renewal, rearrangement, or postponement of the time or manner of payment of the Indebtedness and to any other indulgence with respect hereto or thereto. Borrower waives any right of redemption.

 

 
32

 

 

46. Usurv Savings Provisions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the Applicable Law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the Applicable Laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Grantor. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

47. Covenants Running with the Land; Release. The Obligations contained in this Security Instrument are intended by Borrower, Lender, and Trustee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property until the lien of this Security Instrument has been fully released by Lender. If the Indebtedness is paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents, and if Borrower shall well and truly perform all of the Obligations and Borrower’s covenants contained herein, then this conveyance shall become null and void and the liens hereof shall be released upon Borrower’s request (as approved by Lender) and at Borrower’s expense.

 

48. PROPERTY INSURANCE DISCLOSURE. TEXAS FINANCE CODE SECTION 307.052 COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE NOTICE:( ) BORROWER TSREQUIREDTO(i) KEEP THE MORTGAGED PROPERTY INSURED AGAINST DAMAGE IN THE AMOUNT PECIFJED HEREIN;(ii) PURCHASE THE INSURANCE FROM AN JNSURER THATJ AUTHORIZED TO DO BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF TEXAS OR AN ELIGIBLE SURPLUS LINES INSURER OR OTHERWISE AS PROVIDED HEREIN; AND(iii)NAME LENDER AS THE PERSON TO BE PAID UNDER THE POLICY INTHEEVENTOF LOS A PROVIDED HEREIN; (B) SUBJECTTOTHE PROVlSlONS HEREOF, BORROWER MUST,IFREQUIRED BY LENDER, DELlVER TO LENDER A COPY(ORCOPIES) OF THE POLICY (OR POLlClES) AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND(C) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF, IF BORROWER FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED IN THE FOREGOLNG UBP RTS( ) OR (B), LENDER MAY OBTAIN COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF BORROWER AT BORROWER’S EXPENSE.

SECURED NOTE

 

$182,478.75

Date: May 12, 2023

 

Travis County, Texas

 

Property Address: 274 Gabbro Gdns, Maxwell, Texas 78656-2016

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC - 274 GABBRO, a series of TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (“Borrower”), whose address is 103 Saddle Ridge Dr, Cedar Park, Texas 786 I 3-7473, hereby promises to pay to Housemax Funding, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, or order (“Lender”), whose address is 901 S Mo Pac Expy Ste 125 Bldg 4, Austin, Texas 78746, the principal sum of One Hundred Eighty-Two Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Eight and 75/100 Dollars ($182,478.75), together with interest on the entire Loan Amount of this Note, as follows:

 

1. Interest. Interest on the entire Loan Amount, including any Lender Retained Funds, will accrue from the date any proceeds have been distributed to or on behalf of the Borrower (the “Date of Advance”) at an annual rate equal to Nine and 99/100 Percent (9.99%).

 

1.1. Computation of Interest. Interest on this Note is computed on a 30/360 basis; that is, with the exception of odd days before the first full payment cycle, monthly interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the entire Loan Amount, multiplied by a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days before the first full month and any partial month in which the loan is repaid in full is calculated on the basis of the actual days and a 360-day year and shall include the day of payoff. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

2. Payment Obligations.

 

2.1. In General. Borrower will make a payment each month until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note and all accrued and unpaid principal, interest and other charges due hereunder have been paid in full. If Borrower still owes amounts under this Note on June I, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), Borrower will pay those amounts in full on that date. Payments due under the Note shall be made in U.S. currency. Lender may charge a non-sufficient funds fee, in Lender’s discretion, for each payment that is returned unpaid by the Borrower’s bank. This charge may be in addition to any other charges provided for herein. Further, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as payment under the Note or the Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under this Note and the Security Instrument be made in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer’s check or cashier’s check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; (d) Electronic Funds Transfer; or (e) wire. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.2. Interest-Only Payments. Interest-only payments shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly installments of One Thousand Five Hundred Nineteen and 14/100 Dollars ($1,519.14) commencing with the first payment due on July I, 2023 and continuing on the first day of every month thereafter for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

 

2.3. Servicing Fees. In addition to any amounts due above, Borrower shall be responsible for all servicing costs. Servicing costs will be included in Borrower’s monthly statement provided by Lender’s loan servicer of Lender’s choice. In addition, servicing costs shall be billed to Borrower as incurred.

 

2.4 Balloon Payment. The payment schedule for this Loan requires that on the Maturity Date Borrower make a balloon payment of all unpaid principal, interest, charges, fees, costs and any other unpaid amounts due under the Loan Documents.

 

 
38

 

 

2.5. Delivery of Payments. Payments due under this Note shall be made to Lender by electronic funds transfer by automated clearing house payments (“ACH Payments”). Borrower shall at all times maintain a valid account to be used for ACH Payments and shall ensure sufficient funds in the account to cover the amount of each payment or debit entry. Borrower’s failure to maintain a valid account to be used for ACH Payments or failure to deposit and/or maintain sufficient funds in the account for each debit entry, shall be a Default under this Note and the Loan Agreement. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.6. Order of Application of Payment . Each payment under this Note shall be credited in the following order: (a) costs, fees, charges, and advances paid or incurred by Lender or payable to Lender and interest under any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, (b) interest payable under the Note, and (c) principal under the Note.

 

2.7. Other Terms. This Note is subject to the following additional tenns as provided for in the Loan Agreement. See headings in Loan Agreement sections for applicability.

 

2.7.1. N/A.

 

3. Late Charge. Borrower acknowledges that default in the payment of any sum due under this Note will result in losses and additional expenses to Lender in servicing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations. Borrower further acknowledges that the extent of such loss and additional expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any payment due under this Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days when due, a charge of 5 cents ($0.05) for each dollar ($1.00) that is not paid when due would be a reasonable estimate of expenses so incurred (the “Late Charge”). Without prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Borrower shall pay the Late Charge to Lender as liquidated damages to cover expenses incurred in handling such delinquent payment.

 

4. Default. On (a) Borrower’s failure to pay any installment or other sum due under this Note when due and payable (whether by extension, acceleration, or otherwise), (b) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or (c) any breach of any other promise or obligation in this Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, then, and in any such event, Lender may, at its option, declare this Note (including, without limitation, all accrued interest) due and payable immediately regardless of the Maturity Date. Borrower expressly waives notice of the exercise of this option.

 

5. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. All prepayments of principal on this Note shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid.

 

6. Interest on Default. If Borrower is in default under the Loan Documents, then at the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and without notice or opportunity to cure, the entire Loan Amount shall immediately bear an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of(a) Fifteen and 99/100 Percent (15.99%); or (b) the maximum interest rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”). The Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate only until all defaults are cured and the Loan is reinstated. Borrower acknowledges, understands and agrees that in connection with any default: (i) Lender’s risk of nonpayment of the Loan will be materially increased; (ii) Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities will be adversely impacted; (iii) Lender may need to set aside funds in a loan loss reserve, repurchase the loan from a credit provider or otherwise impair their capital; (iv) Lender may be unable to raise additional funds from investors, credit facilities or other capital sources due to defaults in its portfolio; (v) the value of the Lender’s loan will materially decrease and may become unmarketable altogether; (vi) the value of Lender’s business enterprise will be reduced; (vii) Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the amounts due; (viii) the aforementioned list of risks, losses and damages is not exhaustive and Lender will suffer additional exposure to risk, losses and damages not specifically identified above; (ix) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine such additional costs and expenses; (x) Lender is entitled to be compensated for such additional risks, costs, and expenses; and (xi) the increase to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the additional risks, costs, and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower’s default and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the harms incurred by Lender due to Borrower’s default. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable by Borrower without prejudice to the rights of Lender to collect any other amounts to be paid under this Note (including, without limitation, late charges), the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument.

 

 
39

 

 

7. Intere ton Interest. If any interest payment under this Note is not paid when due, the unpaid interest shall be added to the principal of this Note, shall become and be treated as principal, and shall thereafter bear like interest.

 

8. Due-on-Sale. If Borrower (a) sells, gives an option to purchase, exchanges, assigns, conveys, encumbers (including, but not limited to PACE/HERO loans, any loans where payments are collected through property tax assessments, and super-voluntary liens which are deemed to have priority over the lien of the Security Instrument) (other than with a Permitted Encumbrance as defined in the Security Instrument), transfers possession, or alienates all or any portion of the Property, or any of Borrower’s interest in the Property, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of any interests in Borrower; or if Borrower changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Property, or drills or extracts or enters into any lease for the drilling or extracting of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Property; or (b) if title to such Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Lender’s prior written consent, or (c) if a junior voluntary or involuntary deed of trust or mortgage lien in favor of another lender encumbers the Mortgaged Property (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) without Lender’s express prior written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s absolute and sole discretion, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice and subject to Applicable Law, declare all sums secured by the Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

 

9. Waiver. Borrower, endorsers, and all other persons liable or to become liable on this Note waive

 

diligence, presentment, protest and demand, and also notice of protest, demand, nonpayment, dishonor and maturity and consents to any extension of the time or terms of payment hereof, any and all renewals or extensions of the terms hereof, any release of all or any part of the security given for this Note, any acceptance of additional security of any kind and any release of any party liable under this Note. Any such renewals or extensions may be made without notice to Borrower.

 

10. Notice. Any notice required to be provided in this Note shall be given in accordance with the notice requirements provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

11. Assignment. This Note is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Borrower and their successors and assigns, and no other Person or Persons shall have any right of action under this Note. The terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties, provided, however, that the Borrower’s interest under this Note cannot be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior consent of Lender. Lender in its sole discretion may transfer this Note, and may sell or assign participations or other interests in all or any part of this Note, all without notice to or the consent of Borrower.

 

 
40

 

 

12. Usuiy aving Provisions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. For purposes of this Note, “Indebtedness” shall mean all indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and all amounts payable in the performance of any covenant or obligation in any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, or any pa1i of such indebtedness. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

 

13. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 

14. Loan Agreement. This Note is also secured by and is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) between Borrower and Lender, and all Collateral referenced and incorporated in the Loan Agreement. As specifically provided in the Loan Agreement, if Borrower defaults under this Note, Lender has the right and option to foreclose against any Collateral provided under the Loan Agreement.

 

THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED IN COUNTER-PARTS.

The Series Designation shall relate solely to the Series established thereby and shall not be construed: (i) to affect the terms and conditions of any other Series, or (ii) to designate, fix or determine the rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Interests associated with any other Series, or the Members associated therewith. The terms and conditions for each Series established pursuant to this Section shall be as set forth in this Agreement and the Series Designation, as applicable, for the Series. Upon approval of any Series Designation by the Managing Member, such Series Designation shall be attached to this Agreement as an Exhibit until such time as none of such Interests of such Series remain Outstanding.

 

 
96

 

 

(b) Series Operation. Each of the Series shall operate to the extent practicable as if it were a separate limited liability company.

 

(c) Series Designation. The Series Designation establishing a Series may: (i) specify a name or names under which the business and affairs of such Series may be conducted; (ii) designate, fix and determine the relative rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Interests of such Series and the Members associated therewith (to the extent such terms differ from those set forth in this Agreement) and (iii) designate or authorize the designation of specific Officers to be associated with such Series. A Series Designation (or any resolution of the Managing Member amending any Series Designation) shall be effective when a duly executed original of the same is included by the Managing Member among the permanent records of the Company, and shall be annexed to, and constitute part of, this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, upon such effective date, the Series described in such Series Designation shall be deemed to have been established and the Interests of such Series shall be deemed to have been authorized in accordance with the provisions thereof). The Series Designation establishing a Series may set forth specific provisions governing the rights of such Series against a Member associated with such Series who fails to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable provisions of such Series Designation). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a Series Designation, the terms and conditions of the Series Designation shall prevail.

 

(d) Assets and Liabilities Associated with a Series.

 

(i) Assets Associated with a Series. All consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of Interests of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be (assets), shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be held for the benefit of the Series or the Members associated with such Series, and not for the benefit of the Members associated with any other Series, for all purposes, and shall be accounted for and recorded upon the books and records of the Series separately from any assets associated with any other Series. Such assets are herein referred to as assets associated with that Series. In the event that there are any assets in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Members reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate such assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable, and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any asset so allocated to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be an asset associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each and every Series, and the Managing Member shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series.

 

 
97

 

 

(ii) Liabilities Associated with a Series. All debts, liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, obligations and reserves incurred by, contracted for or otherwise existing, with respect to a particular Series shall be charged against the assets associated with that Series. Such liabilities are herein referred to as liabilities associated with that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Member's reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. All liabilities associated with a Series shall be enforceable against the assets associated with that Series only, and not against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series, and except to the extent set forth above, no liabilities shall be enforceable against the assets associated with any Series prior to the allocation and charging of such liabilities as provided above. Any allocation of liabilities that are not readily associated with a particular Series to, between or among one or more of the Series shall not represent a commingling of such Series to pool capital for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business or making common investments and sharing in profits and losses therefrom. The Managing Member has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate of Formation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18-21S(b) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18-207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

 

(e) Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine; provided, however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company's books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

 

(t) Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, or the Interest Designation).

 

Section 3.4 Authorization to Issue Interests.

 

(a) The Company may issue Interests, and options, rights and warrants relating to Interests, for any Company or Series purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member shall determine, all without the approval of the Economic Members. Each Interest shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

 
98

 

 

(b) Subject to Section 6.3(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of Interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

(c) Interests in the Company and any Series will be represented by Tokens. A ledger of holdings of Tokens (the "BlockchainTokenLedger") will be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain. The Blockchain Token Ledger will record the public wallet addresses of all electronic wallets that hold Tokens, and the balance of Tokens registered to each such wallet address on the Tirios Blockchain. Each Member will be provided access to view Token holding information recorded to the Blockchain Token Ledger for as long such Member remains a holder of Tokens. A Member will be deemed the Record Holder with respect to a Token as of any date only if, as of such date, such Token is registered on the Tirios Blockchain in such Member's name. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Company Interest held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a Record Holder of the corresponding number of Tokens. For these purposes, the Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information recorded on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date.

 

Section 3.5 Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, the Economic Members shall not participate in the decision-making, management or control of the Company's business and shall have no authority to act for or bind the Company. To the extent that the Economic Members are permitted to vote, (i) each Record Holder of Interests shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/Token for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally, (ii) all Record Holders of Interests (regardless of Series) shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which all Record Holders oflnterests are entitled to vote, (iii) Record Holders of a particular Series of Interest shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/token of the Series for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of the Members of such Series. Any action required by this Agreement or the Act to be taken at- any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

 

Section 3.7 Splits.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number of Interests are proportionately adjusted.

 

 
99

 

 

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of interests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c) Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue :fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

 

Section 3.8 Agreements. The rights of all Members and the terms of all Interests are subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

ARTICLE IV - REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

 

Section 4.1 Maintenance of a Register. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer and ownership limitations contained below:

 

(a) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company and each Series a register that will set forth the Record Holders of each of the Interests and information regarding the Transfer of each of the Interests. The Managing Member is hereby initially appointed as registrar and transfer agent of the Interests, provided that the Managing Member may appoint such third-party registrar and transfer agent as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion, for the purpose of registering Interests and Transfers of such Interests as herein provided, including as set forth in any Series Designation. Such registrar may be the Blockchain Token Ledger or a separate from the Blockchain Token Ledger.

 

(b) Upon acceptance by the Managing Member of the Transfer of any Interest, Interests/Tokens may be transferred only by following the procedures for peer-to-peer Token transfers available to Economic Members on the Tirios Blockchain. Each transferee of an Interest (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Economic Member with respect to the Interests so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company, including the Blockchain Token Ledger, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by completing a Form of Adherence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member in accordance with Section 4.2(g)(ii), (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Interests so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Managing Member and any Liquidator of the Company and each of their authorized officers and attorneys in fact, as the case may be, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement.

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading, if any.

 

Section 4.2 Ownership Limitations.

In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section must also be satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 3.6, assignment of the economic benefits of ownership of Interests may be made without the Managing Members consent, provided that the assignee is not an ineligible or unsuitable investor under applicable law.

(ii) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series of Interests, unless such Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

 

(iii) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes of BRISA;

If a Transfer occurs by reason of the death of an Economic Member or assignee, the notice may be given by the duly authorized representative of the estate of the Economic Member or assignee. The notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and valid assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Managing Member.

 

 
101

 

 

(d) In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section shall result in beneficial ownership by multiple Persons of any Economic Members interest in the Company, the Managing Member may require one or more trustees or nominees to be designated to represent a portion of or the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferor as an Economic Member had pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(e) A transferee shall be entitled to any future distributions attributable to the Interests transferred to such transferee and to transfer such Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of an Economic Member as a result of such Transfer until he or she becomes a Substitute Economic Member.

(i) the transferring Economic Member and each transferee to execute one or more deeds or other instruments of Transfer in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member;

 

(ii) each transferee to acknowledge its assumption (in whole or, if the Transfer is in respect of part only, in the proportionate part) of the obligations of the transferring Economic Member by executing a Form of Adherence (or any other equivalent instrument as determined by the Managing Member);

 

(iii) each transferee to provide all the information required by the Managing Member to satisfy itself as to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions compliance matters; and

 

(iv) payment by the transferring Economic Member, in full, of the costs and expenses referred to in paragraph (h) below,

 

and no Transfer shall be completed or recorded in the books of the Company, and no proposed Substitute Economic Member shall be admitted to the Company as an Economic Member, unless and until each of these requirements has been satisfied or, at the sole discretion of the Managing Member, waived.

 

(h) The transferring Economic Member shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any proposed Transfer, whether or not the Transfer proceeds to completion, including any legal fees incurred by the Company or any broker or dealer, any costs or expenses in connection with any opinion of counsel, and any transfer taxes and filing fees.

The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, "Expenses and Liabilities") arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Series (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Series has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member or the Officers are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company or any Series, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this paragraph that the Company and each applicable Series indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

 
107

 

 

(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.7, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(c) Any indemnification under this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by each applicable Series. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

 

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may, at the option of the Managing Member, be paid by each applicable Series in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each such Series as authorized in this Section.

 

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

 

(g) The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person's status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

 

 
108

(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel, accountants, and other experts, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company or any Series in furtherance of the interests of the Company or such Series in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other experts will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel, accountants, or other experts were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

 

(1) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or any Series (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(n) The Managing Member shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and any Series and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or associated with any Series, or by any other Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence (including, without limitation, the Advisory Board).

 

(o) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any indemnitee under this Section as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives.

"Gross Asset Value" means, in respect of any asset of the Company or Series, the asset's adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

 

(a) The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset as reasonably determined by the Managing Member.

 

(b) The Gross Asset Value of all items of Company property shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member and taking Code Section 7701(g) into account) as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company or Series by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis capital contribution; (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of Company or S er i e s property as consideration for all or a portion of an interest in the Company or Series; (iii) the liquidation by the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g) (other than pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(l)(B)), and (iv) in connection with the grant of an interest in the Company (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company by an existing Member acting in a partner capacity, or by a new Member acting in a partner capacity in anticipation of being a Member; provided that any adjustments described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be made only if the Managing Member reasonably determines that such adjustments are necessary to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members of the Company.

 

(c) The Gross Asset Value of any item of Company property distributed to any Member shall be adjusted immediately prior to such distribution to equal its fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member and taking Code Section 7701(g) into account).

 

(d) The Gross Asset Value of each item of Company property shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) and subparagraph (f) of the definition of "Net Profit" and "Net Loss"; provided, however, that Gross Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subparagraph (d) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to subparagraph (b) is required in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this subparagraph (d).

 

 

 

 

(e) If the Gross Asset Value of an asset has been determined or adjusted pursuant to subparagraph (a), (b) or (d), such Gross Asset Value shall thereafter be adjusted by the depreciation taken into account with respect to such asset for purposes of computing Net Profit and Net Loss.

(a) Any income of the Company that is exempt from federal income tax and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss pursuant to the foregoing shall be added to such taxable income or loss.

 

(b) Any expenditures of the Company described in Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) or that are treated as Code Section 705(a)(2)(B) expenditures pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(i) of the Regulations and not otherwise taken into account in computing Net Profit or Net Loss pursuant to the foregoing shall be subtracted from such taxable income or loss.

 

(c) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company Asset is adjusted pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of the definition of Gross Asset Value, the amount of the adjustment shall be taken into account as gain or loss from the disposition of the asset for purposes of computing Net Profit or Net Loss.

 

(d) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of the property differs from its Gross Asset Value.

 

(e) If the Fair Market Value of any asset differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes, then the amount of depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with respect to such asset shall, for purposes of determining Net Profit and Net Loss, be an amount which bears the same ratio to such Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions bears to such adjusted tax basis (provided that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction is zero, then the Managing Member may use any reasonable method for purposes of determining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions in calculating Net Profit and Net Loss).

 

(f) To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company property pursuant to Code Sections 732(d), 734(b) or 743(b) is required, pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.704 l(b)(2)(iv)(m), to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis).

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections l .704- l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 5 of this Exhibit B have been tentatively made as if this Section were not in the Agreement.

 

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in have been tentatively made as if Section (c) above and this Section (d) were not in the Agreement.

(g) Section754 Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), as an item of Net Profit (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Net Loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such Net Profit or Net Loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(h) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (t), and (g) above (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704.

5. Tax Allocations.

 

(a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3 of this Exhibit A, Net Profit, Net Loss and items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company for each Fiscal Year (or other period) shall be allocated among all Members who were Members during such Fiscal Year (or other period) in a manner that will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior taxable years (or other applicable period), being (as nearly as possible) equal to (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company (limited, with respect any nonrecourse liabilities, to the value reflected in the Members' Capital Accounts for the assets securing such nonrecourse liabilities), and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, minus (y) the Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain.

 

(b) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount ofNet Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

 

(f) Allocations pursuant to Section 4 of this ExhibitB are solely for purposes offederal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Managing Member to grant a waiver as may be permitted under Exhibit C.

(d) Assets and Liabilities Associated with a Series.

 

(i)  Assets Associated with a Series. All consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of Interests of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be (assets), shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be held for the benefit of the Series or the Members associated with such Series, and not for the benefit of the Members associated with any other Series, for all purposes, and shall be accounted for and recorded upon the books and records of the Series separately from any assets associated with any other Series. Such assets are herein referred to as assets associated with that Series. In the event that there are any assets in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Members reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate such assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable, and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any asset so allocated to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be an asset associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each and every Series, and the Managing Member shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series.

 

 
14

 

 

(ii)  Liabilities Associated with a Series. All debts, liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, obligations and reserves incurred by, contracted for or otherwise existing, with respect to a particular Series shall be charged against the assets associated with that Series. Such liabilities are herein referred to as liabilities associated with that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Member's reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. All liabilities associated with a Series shall be enforceable against the assets associated with that Series only, and not against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series, and except to the extent set forth above, no liabilities shall be enforceable against the assets associated with any Series prior to the allocation and charging of such liabilities as provided above. Any allocation ofliabilities that are not readily associated with a particular Series to, between or among one or more of the Series shall not represent a commingling of such Series to pool capital for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business or making common investments and sharing in profits and losses therefrom. The Managing Member has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate ofFormation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18-215(b) ofthe Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18-207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

 

(e)  Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine: provided. however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company's books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

 

(f)  Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, or the Interest Designation).

 

Section 3.4 Authorization to Issue Interests.

 

(a)The Company may issue Interests, and options, rights and warrants relating to Interests, for any Company or Series purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member shall determine, all without the approval of the Economic Members. Each Interest shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

(b) Subject to Section 6.3(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of Interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

(c)  Interests in the Company and any Series will be represented by Tokens. A ledger of holdings of Tokens (the "Blockcbain Token Ledger") will be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain. The Blockchain Token Ledger will record the public wallet addresses of all electronic wallets that hold Tokens, and the balance of Tokens registered to each such wallet address on the Tirios Blockchain. Each Member will be provided access to view Token holding information recorded to the Blockchain Token Ledger for as long such Member remains a holder of Tokens. A Member will be deemed the Record Holder with respect to a Token as of any date only if, as of such date, such Token is registered on the Tirios Blockchain in such Member's name. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Company Interest held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a Record Holder of the corresponding number of Tokens. For these purposes, the Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information recorded on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date.

 

Section 3.5 Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, the Economic Members shall not participate in the decision-making, management or control of the Company's business and shall have no authority to act for or bind the Company.

Any action required by this Agreement or the Act to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

 

Section 3.7 Splits.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number oflnterests are proportionately adjusted.

 

 
16

 

 

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination oflnterests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number oflnterests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c)  Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

 

Section 3.8 Agreements. The rights of all Members and the terms of all Interests are subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, "Expenses and Liabilities") arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Series (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Series has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member or the Officers are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company or any Series, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this paragraph that the Company and each applicable Series indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

 
24

 

 

(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.7, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(c) Any indemnification under this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by each applicable Series. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

 

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may, at the option of the Managing Member, be paid by each applicable Series in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each such Series as authorized in this Section.

 

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

 

(g) The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person's status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

 

 
25

 

 

(h) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Section shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of any person entitled to indemnification under this Section.

(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel, accountants, and other experts, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company or any Series in furtherance of the interests of the Company or such Series in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other experts will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel, accountants, or other experts were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

 

(1) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or any Series (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(n) The Managing Member shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and any Series and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or associated with any Series, or by any other Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence (including, without limitation, the Advisory Board).

 

(o) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any indemnitee under this Section as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

Each Economic Member hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all defenses or other remedies that may be available against such Person to contest, negate or disaffrrrn any action of the Managing Member or any Officer in connection with any such dealing. In no event shall any Person dealing with the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives be obligated to ascertain that the terms of this Agreement have been complied with or to inquire into the necessity or expedience of any act or action of the Managing Member or any Officer or its representatives.

(d) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of the property differs from its Gross Asset Value.

 

(e) If the Fair Market Value of any asset differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes, then the amount of depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with respect to such asset shall, for purposes of determining Net Profit and Net Loss, be an amount which bears the same ratio to such Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions bears to such adjusted tax basis (provided that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction is zero, then the Managing Member may use any reasonable method for purposes of determining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions in calculating Net Profit and Net Loss).

In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in have been tentatively made as if Section (c) above and this Section (d) were not in the Agreement.

5. Tax Allocations.

 

(a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3 of this Exhibit A, Net Profit, Net Loss and items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company for each Fiscal Year (or other period) shall be allocated among all Members who were Members during such Fiscal Year (or other period) in a manner that will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior taxable years (or other applicable period), being (as nearly as possible) equal to (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company (limited, with respect any nonrecourse liabilities, to the value reflected in the Members' Capital Accounts for the assets securing such nonrecourse liabilities), and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, minus (y) the Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain.

 

(b) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount ofNet Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section l .704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

Jf Lender elects under this Section to make any funds available to restore the Mortgaged Property, then all of conditions (a) through (i) above shall apply, except for such conditions that Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, may waive.

On Lender’s request, Borrower shall promptly furnish Lender with all notices of sums due for any amounts specified in the preceding clauses 5(a) through (e), and, on payment, with written evidence of such payment. If Borrower fails to promptly make any payment required under this Section, Lender may (but is not obligated to) make such payment. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice of any increase in the assessed value of the Mortgaged Prope1ty and agrees that Lender, in Borrower’s name, may (but is not obligated to) contest by appropriate proceedings such increase in assessment. Without Lender’s prior written consent, Borrower shall not allow any lien inferior to the lien of this Security Instrument to be perfected against the Mortgaged Property and shall not permit any improvement bond for any unpaid special assessment to issue.

 

6. Leases of lortgaged Propertv by Borrower. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of it then in force. If Lender so requires, all Leases later entered into by Borrower are subject to Lender’s prior review and approval and must be acceptable to Lender in form and content. Each Lease must specifically provide, inter alia, that (a) it is subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument; (b) the tenant attorns to Lender (and Borrower consents to any such attornment), such attornment to be effective on Lender’s acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property; (c) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidence of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (d) the tenant’s attornment shall not be terminated by foreclosure; and (e) Lender, at Lender’s option, may accept or reject such attomment. If Borrower learns that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act that may give rise to any right of setoff against Rent, Borrower shall immediately (i) take measures reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any such right of setoff; (ii) notify Lender of all measures so taken and of the amount of any setoff claimed by any such tenant; and (iii) within 10 days after the accrual of any right of setoff against Rent, reimburse any tenant who has acquired such right, in full, or take other measures that will effectively discharge such setoff and ensure that rents subsequently due shall continue to be payable without claim of setoff or deduction.

 

At Lender’s request, Borrower shall assign to Lender, by written instrument satisfactory to Lender, all Leases of the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits made by tenants in connection with such Leases. On assignment to Lender of any such Lease, Lender shall succeed to all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to such Lease, and Lender, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to modify, extend, or terminate such Lease and to execute other further leases with respect to the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of such assigned Lease.

 

Neither Borrower, tenant nor any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property shall use the Mortgaged Property, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; nor shall Borrower, tenant or any other occupant cause the Mortgaged Property to become subject to any use that is not in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

 

If Borrower suspects any tenant or other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is using the Mortgaged Property in a manner that is not in compliance with any Governmental Requirement to which Borrower, tenant, or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is subject, Borrower shall immediately take appropriate action to remedy the violation, and shall notify Lender of any potential violation within one (1) day of discovery of any such potential violation. Any potential violation by a tenant or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property of any Governmental Requirement is an Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Note and this Security Instrument; and upon the occurrence of any such violation, Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

7. Right to Collect ::incl Receive Rents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Lender grants permission to Borrower to collect and retain the Rents of the Mortgaged Property as they become due and payable; however, such permission to Borrower shall be automatically revoked on default by Borrower in payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or in the performance of any of the Obligations, and Lender shall have the rights set forth in the laws and regulations where the Mortgaged Property is located regardless of whether declaration of default has been delivered, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Failure of or discontinuance by Lender at any time, or from time to time, to collect any such Rents shall not in any manner affect the subsequent enforcement by Lender at any time, or from time to time, of the right, power, and authority to collect these Rents. The receipt and application by Lender of all such Rents under this Security Instrument, after execution and delivery of declaration of default and demand for sale as provided in this Security Instrument or during the pendency of trustee’s sale proceedings under this Security Instrument or judicial foreclosure, shall neither cure such breach or default nor affect such sale proceedings, or any sale made under them, but such Rents, less all costs of operation, maintenance, collection, and Attorneys’ Fees, when received by Lender, may be applied in reduction of the entire Indebtedness from time to time secured by this Security Instrument, in such order as Lender may decide. Nothing in this Security Instrument, nor the exercise of Lender’s right to collect, nor an assumption by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor a subordination of the lien or charge of this Security Instrument to, any such tenancy, lease, or option, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option.

 

If the Rents of the Mortgaged Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Security Instrument. Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable on notice from Lender to Borrower requesting such payment and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements, in which event the amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate that may be collected from Borrower under Governmental Requirements.

 

Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Lender will have no liability to Borrower or any other person for Lender’s failure or inability to collect Rents from the Mortgaged Property or for failing to collect such Rents in an amount that is equal to the fair market rental value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower understands and agrees that neither the assignment of Rents to Lender nor the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under this Security Instrument shall be deemed to make Lender a “mortgagee-in-possession” or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it, unless and until Lender, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession of it. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property by any court at the request of Lender or by agreement with Borrower, or the entering into possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it by such receiver be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it.

Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice that any such sums have become due or payable and, immediately on receipt of any such sums, shall promptly remit such sums to Lender.

 

After deducting all expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees, incurred by Lender in recovering or collecting any sums under this Section, Lender may apply or release the balance of any funds received by it under this Section, or any part of such balance, as it elects. Lender, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action assigned to it under this Section and may make any compromise or settlement in such action whatsoever. Borrower covenants that it shall execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of any such compensation awards, damages, or causes of action as Lender may request from time to time. If Lender fails or does not elect to prosecute any such action or proceeding and Borrower elects to do so, Borrower may conduct the action or proceeding at its own expense and risk.

 

9. Defense of Securitv Instrument; Litigation. Borrower represents and warrants that this Security Instrument creates a first position lien and security interest against the Mortgaged Property. Borrower shall give Lender immediate written notice of any action or proceeding (including, without limitation, any judicial, whether civil, criminal, or probate, or nonjudicial proceeding to foreclose the lien of a junior or senior mortgage or deed of trust) affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender under the Loan Documents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Borrower agrees that Lender or Trustee may (but is not obligated to) commence, appear in, prosecute, defend, compromise, and settle, in Lender’s or Borrower’s name, and as attorney-in-fact for Borrower, and incur necessary costs and expenses, including Attorneys’ Fees in so doing, any action or proceeding, whether a civil, criminal, or probate judicial matter, nonjudicial proceeding, arbitration, or other alternative dispute resolution procedure, reasonably necessary to preserve or protect, or affecting or purporting to affect, the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, and that if Lender and Trustee elect not to do so, Borrower shall commence, appear in, prosecute, and defend any such action or proceeding. Borrower shall pay all costs and expenses of Lender and Trustee, including costs of evidence oftitle and Attorneys’ Fees, in any such action or proceeding in which Lender or Trustee may appear or for which legal counsel is sought, whether by virtue of being made a party defendant or otherwise, and whether or not the interest of Lender or Trustee in the Mortgaged Property is directly questioned in such action or proceeding, including, without limitation, any action for the condemnation or partition of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and any action brought by Lender to foreclose this Security Instrument or to enforce any of its terms or provisions.

11. Sums Advanced to Bear Interest and to Be Secured by ecu1·ity Instrument. At Lender’s request, Borrower shall immediately pay any sums advanced or paid by Lender or Trustee under any provision of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents. Until so repaid, all such sums and all other sums payable to Lender and Trustee shall be added to, and become a part of, the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument and bear interest from the date of advancement or payment by Lender or Trustee at the Default Rate provided in the Note, regardless of whether an Event of Default has occurred, unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements. All sums advanced by Lender under this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents, shall have the same priority to which the Security Instrument otherwise would be entitled as of the date this Security Instrument is executed and recorded, without regard to the fact that any such future advances may occur after this Security Instrument is executed, and shall conclusively be deemed to be mandatory advances required to preserve and protect this Security Instrument and Lender’s security for the performance of the Obligations and payment of the Indebtedness, and shall be secured by this Security Instrument to the same extent and with the same priority as the principal and interest payable under the Note.

Borrower shall permit all such entries and inspections to be made as long as Lender has given Borrower written notice of such inspection at least 24 hours before the entry and inspection.

In exercising any of these remedies, Lender may proceed against the items of Mortgaged Property and any items of Personalty separately or together and in any order whatsoever, without in any way affecting the availability of Lender’s remedies under the Uniform Commercial Code or of the remedies provided in the Non-Uniform Covenants section of this Security Instrument.

 

14. Fixture Filing.

If Borrower sells, gives an option to purchase, exchanges, assigns, conveys, encumbers (including, but not limited to PACE/HERO loans, any loans where payments are collected through property tax assessments, and super- voluntary liens which are deemed to have priority over the lien of the Security Instrument) (other than with a Permitted Encumbrance), transfers possession, or alienates all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property, or any of Borrower’s interest in the Mortgaged Property, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Mortgaged Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or ifthere is a sale or transfer of any interests in Borrower; or if Borrower changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Mortgaged Property, or drills or extracts or enters into any lease for the drilling or extracting of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Mortgaged Property; or if title to such Mortgaged Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Lender’s prior written consent, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

17.2 Replacement Per onalty. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Borrower may from time to time replace Personalty constituting a part of the Mortgaged Property, as long as (a) the replacements for such Personalty are of equivalent value and quality; (b) Borrower has good and clear title to such replacement Personalty free and clear of any and all liens, encumbrances, security interests, ownership interests, claims of title (contingent or otherwise), or charges of any kind, or the rights of any conditional sellers, vendors, or any other third parties in or to such replacement Personalty have been expressly subordinated to the lien of the Security Instrument in a manner satisfactory to Lender and at no cost to Lender; and (c) at Lender’s option, Borrower provides at no cost to Lender satisfactory evidence that the Security Instrument constitutes a valid and subsisting lien on and security interest in such replacement Personalty of the same priority as this Security Instrument has on the Mortgaged Property and is not subject to being subordinated or its priority affected under any Governmental Requirements.

 

17.3 Junior Liens. If Lender consents in writing, in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion, the due-on-encumbrance prohibition shall not apply to a junior voluntary deed of trust or mortgage lien in favor of another lender encumbering the Mortgaged Property (the principal balance of any such junior encumbrance shall be added to the principal balance of the Indebtedness for purposes of determining compliance with the financial covenants of the Loan Agreement and the Note). Borrower shall reimburse Lender for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with such encumbrance. Should Borrower fail to obtain Lender’s express written consent to any junior voluntary lien, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice and subject to Applicable Law, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of any their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

If Borrower is in default under this Security Instrument or any of the Loan Documents, regardless of whether the default has been cured, then Lender may at any subsequent time, at its option to be exercised on 30 days written notice to Borrower, require Borrower to deposit with Lender or its designee, at the time of each payment of an installment of interest or principal under the Note, an additional amount sufficient to discharge the Impositions as they become due. The calculation of the amount payable and of the fractional part ofit to be deposited with Lender shall be made by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion. These amounts shall be held by Lender or its designee not in trust and not as agent of Borrower and shall not bear interest, and shall be applied to the payment of any of the Impositions under the Loan Documents in such order or priority as Lender shall determine. If at any time within 30 days before the due date of these obligations the amounts then on deposit shall be insufficient to pay the obligations under the Note and this Security Instrument in full, Borrower shall deposit the amount of the deficiency with Lender within 10 days after Lender’s demand. If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Lender may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the excess in a reserve account, not in trust and not bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required monthly deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lender under any other provision of this Security Instrument or under any statute or rule of law to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Lender shall have no obligation to pay insurance premiums or taxes except to the extent the fund established under this Section is sufficient to pay such premiums or taxes, to obtain insurance, or to notify Borrower of any matters relative to the insurance or taxes for which the fund is established under this Section. Notwithstanding the preceding, Borrower and Lender may agree to impounds of taxes and insurance which impounds shall be identified in the Note.

 

Lender or its designee shall hold all amounts so deposited as additional security for the sums secured by this Security Instrument. Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Security Instrument, apply such amounts or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, and such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Security Instrument.

 

If Lender requires deposits to be made under this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements for insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as Borrower receives such documents.

 

If Lender sells or assigns this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section to the purchaser or assignee. After such a transfer, Lender shall be relieved and have no further liability under this Security Instrument for the application of such deposits, and Borrower shall look solely to such purchaser or assignee for such application and for all responsibility relating to such deposits.

The Trustee shall not be obligated to notify any party to this Security Instrument of any pending sale under any other Security Instrument or of any action or proceeding in which Borrower, Lender, or Trustee is a party, unless such sale relates to or reasonably might affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender’s security for the payment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the Obligations, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, or unless such action or proceeding has been instituted by Trustee against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, or Lender.

 

In case of any sale hereunder, all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been performed, and in conveyance given hereunder, all statements of facts or other recitals made therein as to any of the following, shall be taken in all courts of law or equity as prima facie evidence that the facts so stated or recited are true; i.e., the nonpayment of money secured; the request to Trustee to enforce this trust; the proper and due appointment of any substitute trustee; the advertisement of sale or time, place and manner of sale; or any other preliminary fact or thing.

40. Duty to Reconvey. On Lender’s written request reciting that all sums secured hereby have been paid, surrender of the Note and this Security Instrument to Trustee for cancellation and retention by Trustee, and payment by Borrower of any reconveyance fees customarily charged by Trustee, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Mortgaged Property then held by Trustee under this Security Instrument. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters of fact shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as “the person or persons legally entitled to the Mortgaged Property.” Such request and reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of the Rents assigned to Lender in this Security Instrument.

 

41. ubstitution ofTrustee. Lender, at Lender’s option, may from time to time, by written instrument, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named in or acting under this Security Instrument, which instrument, when executed and acknowledged by Lender and recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county or counties in which the Mortgaged Property is located, shall constitute conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all right, title, estate, powers, and duties of such predecessor Trustee, including, without limitation, the power to reconvey the Mortgaged Property. To be effective, the instrument must contain the names of the original Borrower, Trustee, and Lender under this Security Instrument, the book and page or instrument or document number at which, and the county or counties in which, this Security Instrument is recorded, and the name and address of the substitute Trustee. If any notice of default has been recorded under this Security Instrument, this power of substitution cannot be exercised until all costs, fees, and expenses of the then acting Trustee have been paid. On such payment, the then acting Trustee shall endorse receipt of the payment on the instrument of substitution. The procedure provided in this Section for substitution of Trustees is not exclusive of other provisions for substitution provided by Governmental Requirements.

 

42. Collection of Rents. During an Event of Default, any and all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with Borrower’s funds and property, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender. This instrument constitutes an assignment of rents and a security instrument under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code (SB 889 as enacted June 2011) and affords Lender, as beneficiary hereunder, all rights and remedies of an assignee under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code. This assignment of rents secures the Indebtedness, and a security interest in all rents from the Mortgaged Property is hereby created under Chapter 64 of the Texas Property Code to secure the Obligations.

 

If the Lender deems it necessary or convenient to have the rents collected by a receiver appointed for that purpose following an event of default, the Lender may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness and without regard for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Indebtedness and shall have a receiver appointed. The Borrower further hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver should Lender elect to seek such relief.

To the extent permitted by law, Borrower expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies under Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended or re-codified (the “Deficiency Statutes”), including without limitation, the right to seek a credit against or offset of any deficiency judgment based on the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property sold at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure; and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and/or any other party obligated on the Indebtedness secured hereby equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Indebtedness secured hereby and the foreclosure sales price. Alternatively, in the event the foregoing waiver is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact’s determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by any of the Deficiency Statues: (a) the Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an “as is” condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure: (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but not later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance premiums, cost of a survey, tax prorations, Attorneys’ Fees, and marketing costs; (d) the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property pending sale, including without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, security, taxes and assessments (without duplication), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years’ experience in appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property and taking into consideration the factors set forth above.

 

44. NO SUBORDINATE FINANCING. NO FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES MAY BE RECORDED AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROVISION SHALL CONSTITUTE AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND, AT THE LENDER’S OPTION, THE LOAN SHALL IMMEDIATELY BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. CONSENT TO ONE FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE SUCH CONSENT TO FUTURE OR SUCCESSIVE ENCUMBRANCES.

 

45. WAIVER OF NOTICES. Except as provided in the Note and as otherwise provided herein, unless (and then to the extent not) prohibited by Applicable Law, the Borrower, and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other person liable or to become liable for payment of any of the Indebtedness:

 

 

(i)

waive: opportunity to cure breach or default; grace; all notices, demands and presentments for payment; all notices of dishonor, non-payment, acceleration of maturity or intention to accelerate maturity; protest; dishonor; all other notices whatsoever; and, diligence in taking any action to collect amounts secured hereunder or in the handling of any collateral securing the Obligations at any time; and,

 

 

 

 

(ii)

consent and agree (without notice of any of the following): to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security for the Obligations or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Indebtedness; that the Lender shall not be required first to institute suit or exhaust his remedies against the Borrower or others liable or to become liable on the Obligations or to enforce his rights against them or any security therefor; and, to any extension, renewal, rearrangement, or postponement of the time or manner of payment of the Indebtedness and to any other indulgence with respect hereto or thereto. Borrower waives any right of redemption.

46. Usury avings Provi ions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the Applicable Law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the Applicable Laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Grantor. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of the Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

 

47. Covenants Running with the Land; Release. The Obligations contained in this Security Instrument are intended by Borrower, Lender, and Trustee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property until the lien of this Security Instrument has been fully released by Lender. If the Indebtedness is paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents, and if Borrower shall well and truly perform all of the Obligations and Borrower’s covenants contained herein, then this conveyance shall become null and void and the liens hereof shall be released upon Borrower’s request (as approved by Lender) and at Borrower’s expense.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC - 283 GABBRO, a series ofTIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company (“Borrower”), whose address is 103 Saddle Ridge Dr, Cedar Park, Texas 78613-7473, hereby promises to pay to Housemax Funding, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, or order (“Lender”), whose address is 901 S Mo Pac Expy Ste 125 Bldg 4, Austin, Texas 78746, the principal sum of One Hundred Seventy-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Three and 75/100 Dollars ($177,603.75), together with interest on the entire Loan Amount of this Note, as follows:

 

I. Interest. Interest on the entire Loan Amount, including any Lender Retained Funds, will accrue from the date any proceeds have been distributed to or on behalf of the Borrower (the “Date of Advance”) at an annual rate equal to Nine and 99/100 Percent (9.99%).

 

I.I. Computation of lnterest. Interest on this Note is computed on a 30/360 basis; that is, with the exception of odd days before the first full payment cycle, monthly interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the entire Loan Amount, multiplied by a month of 30 days. Interest for the odd days before the first full month and any partial month in which the loan is repaid in full is calculated on the basis of the actual days and a 360-day year and shall include the day of payoff. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

2. Payment Obligations.

 

2.1. In General. Borrower will make a payment each month until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note and all accrued and unpaid principal, interest and other charges due hereunder have been paid in full. If Borrower still owes amounts under this Note on June l, 2024 (the “Maturity Date”), Borrower will pay those amounts in full on that date. Payments due under the Note shall be made in U.S. currency. Lender may charge a non-sufficient funds fee, in Lender’s discretion, for each payment that is returned unpaid by the Borrower’s bank. This charge may be in addition to any other charges provided for herein. Further, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as payment under the Note or the Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under this Note and the Security Instrument be made in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer’s check or cashier’s check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; (d) Electronic Funds Transfer; or (e) wire. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.2. interest-Only Pavments. Interest-only payments shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly installments of One Thousand Four Hundred Seventy-Eight and 55/100 Dollars ($1,478.55) commencing with the first payment due on July 1, 2023 and continuing on the first day of every month thereafter for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

 

2.3. Servicing Fees. In addition to any amounts due above, Borrower shall be responsible for all servicing costs. Servicing costs will be included in Borrower’s monthly statement provided by Lender’s loan servicer of Lender’s choice. In addition, servicing costs shall be billed to Borrower as incurred.

 

2.4. Balloon Pavment. The payment schedule for this Loan requires that on the Maturity Date Borrower make a balloon payment of all unpaid principal, interest, charges, fees, costs and any other unpaid amounts due under the Loan Documents.

2.5. Deli ery of Pa me.nts. Payments due under this Note shall be made to Lender by electronic funds transfer by automated clearing house payments (“ACH Payments”). Borrower shall at all times maintain a valid account to be used for ACH Payments and shall ensure sufficient funds in the account to cover the amount of each payment or debit entry. Borrower’s failure to maintain a valid account to be used for ACH Payments or failure to deposit and/or maintain sufficient funds in the account for each debit entry, shall be a Default under this Note and the Loan Agreement. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.6. Order of Application of Payments. Each payment under this Note shall be credited in the following order: (a) costs, fees, charges, and advances paid or incurred by Lender or payable to Lender and interest under any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, (b) interest payable under the Note, and (c) principal under the Note.

 

2.7. Other Terms. This Note is subject to the following additional terms as provided for in the Loan Agreement. See headings in Loan Agreement sections for applicability.

 

2.7.1. NIA.

 

3. Late Charge. Borrower acknowledges that default in the payment of any sum due under this Note will result in losses and additional expenses to Lender in servicing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations. Borrower further acknowledges that the extent of such loss and additional expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any payment due under this Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days when due, a charge of 5 cents ($0.05) for each dollar ($1.00) that is not paid when due would be a reasonable estimate of expenses so incurred (the “Late Charge”). Without prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Borrower shall pay the Late Charge to Lender as liquidated damages to cover expenses incurred in handling such delinquent payment.

 

4. Default. On (a) Borrower’s failure to pay any installment or other sum due under this Note when due and payable (whether by extension, acceleration, or otherwise), (b) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or (c) any breach of any other promise or obligation in this Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, then, and in any such event, Lender may, at its option, declare this Note (including, without limitation, all accrued interest) due and payable immediately regardless of the Maturity Date. Borrower expressly waives notice of the exercise of this option.

 

5. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. All prepayments of principal on this Note shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid.

 

6. Interest on Default. If Borrower is in default under the Loan Documents, then at the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and without notice or opportunity to cure, the entire Loan Amount shall immediately bear an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (a) Fifteen and 99/100 Percent (15.99%); or (b) the maximum interest rate allowed by law (the “Default Rate”). The Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate only until all defaults are cured and the Loan is reinstated. Borrower acknowledges, understands and agrees that in connection with any default: (i) Lender’s risk of nonpayment of the Loan will be materially increased; (ii) Lender’s ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities will be adversely impacted; (iii) Lender may need to set aside funds in a loan loss reserve, repurchase the loan from a credit provider or otherwise impair their capital; (iv) Lender may be unable to raise additional funds from investors, credit facilities or other capital sources due to defaults in its portfolio; (v) the value of the Lender’s loan will materially decrease and may become unmarketable altogether; (vi) the value of Lender’s business enterprise will be reduced; (vii) Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the amounts due; (viii) the aforementioned list of risks, losses and damages is not exhaustive and Lender will suffer additional exposure to risk, losses and damages not specifically identified above; (ix) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine such additional costs and expenses; (x) Lender is entitled to be compensated for such additional risks, costs, and expenses; and (xi) the increase to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the additional risks, costs, and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower’s default and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the harms incurred by Lender due to Borrower’s default. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable by Borrower without prejudice to the rights of Lender to collect any other amounts to be paid under this Note (including, without limitation, late charges), the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument.

7. Interest on ]nterest. If any interest payment under this Note is not paid when due, the unpaid interest shall be added to the principal of this Note, shall become and be treated as principal, and shall thereafter bear like interest.

 

8. Due-on-Sale. If Borrower (a) sells, gives an option to purchase, exchanges, assigns, conveys, encumbers (including, but not limited to PACE/HERO loans, any loans where payments are collected through property tax assessments, and super-voluntary liens which are deemed to have priority over the lien of the Security Instrument) (other than with a Permitted Encumbrance as defined in the Security Instrument), transfers possession, or alienates all or any portion of the Property, or any of Borrower’s interest in the Property, or suffers its title to, or any interest in, the Property to be divested, whether voluntarily or involuntarily; or if there is a sale or transfer of any interests in Borrower; or if Borrower changes or permits to be changed the character or use of the Property, or drills or extracts or enters into any lease for the drilling or extracting of oil, gas, or other hydrocarbon substances or any mineral of any kind or character on the Property; or (b) if title to such Property becomes subject to any lien or charge, voluntary or involuntary, contractual or statutory, without Lender’s prior written consent, or (c) if a junior voluntary or involuntary deed of trust or mortgage lien in favor of another lender encumbers the Mortgaged Property (other than a Permitted Encumbrance) without Lender’s express prior written consent thereto, which consent may be withheld in Lender’s absolute and sole discretion, then Lender, at Lender’s option, may, without prior notice and subject to Applicable Law, declare all sums secured by the Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

 

9. Waiver. Borrower, endorsers, and all other persons liable or to become liable on this Note waive

 

diligence, presentment, protest and demand, and also notice of protest, demand, nonpayment, dishonor and maturity and consents to any extension of the time or terms of payment hereof, any and all renewals or extensions of the terms hereof, any release of all or any part of the security given for this Note, any acceptance of additional security of any kind and any release of any party liable under this Note. Any such renewals or extensions may be made without notice to Borrower.

10. Notice. Any notice required to be provided in this Note shall be given in accordance with the notice requirements provided in the Loan Agreement.

 

II. Assignment. This Note is made and entered into for the sole protection and benefit of Lender and Borrower and their successors and assigns, and no other Person or Persons shall have any right of action under this Note. The terms of this Note shall inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties, provided, however, that the Borrower’s interest under this Note cannot be assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior consent of Lender. Lender in its sole discretion may transfer this Note, and may sell or assign participations or other interests in all or any part of this Note, all without notice to or the consent of Borrower.

Usury Savings Provisions.

It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law permits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas Jaw. For purposes of this Note, “Indebtedness” shall mean all indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and all amounts payable in the performance of any covenant or obligation in any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Borrower and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, or any part of such indebtedness. If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower’s and Lender’s express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled,

ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

 

13. Capitalized Terms-. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 

14. Loan Agreement. This Note is also secured by and is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”) between Borrower and Lender, and all Collateral referenced and incorporated in the Loan Agreement. As specifically provided in the Loan Agreement, if Borrower defaults under this Note, Lender has the right and option to foreclose against any Collateral provided under the Loan Agreement.

 

THIS AGREEMENT MAY BE EXECUTED IN COUNTER-PARTS.

Each Member will be provided access to view Token holding information recorded to the Blockchain Token Ledger for as long such Member remains a holder of Tokens. A Member will be deemed the Record Holder with respect to a Token as of any date only if, as of such date, such Token is registered on the Tirios Blockchain in such Member’s name. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Company Interest held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a Record Holder of the corresponding number of Tokens. For these purposes, the Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information recorded on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date.

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, “Expenses and Liabilities”) arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person’s fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

 

(g) The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person’s status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel, accountants, and other experts, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company or any Series in furtherance of the interests of the Company or such Series in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other experts will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel, accountants, or other experts were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

 

(I) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or any Series (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in have been tentatively made as if Section (c) above and this Section (d) were not in the Agreement.

5. Tax Allocations.

(b) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount of Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

 

(f) Allocations pursuant to Section 4 of this Exhibit Bare solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member’s Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount ofNet Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not satisfy the criteria of the preceding sentence.

 

The Corporation may indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent or in any other capacity of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in the manner and to the extent that it shall indemnify any director or officer under this Section 6.

 

(b) Determination of hidemnification. Any indemnification under Section 6(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6(a). Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority of a quorum, not counting any directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding for determining either a majority or the presence of a quorum, (ii) if a quorum under clause (i) of this Section 6(b) cannot be obtained, by a majority of a committee or by a majority of a committee of the Board of Directors, consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time paities to the proceeding, duly designated to act in the matter by a majority of the full Board of Directors, including directors who are parties, (iii) by a special legal counsel, or (iv) as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

 

 

 

(c) Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6, to the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 6(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the Corporation on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon (i) receipt of written affirmation by the person of a good-faith belief that the applicable criteria for indemnification have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the Corporation, if the ultimate determination is that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied, and (ii) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification.

 

(e) Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Section 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, any agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(f) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, pai1nership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against liability under the provisions of this Section 6.

 

(g) Continuity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in this Section 6 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENTS.

On Lender's request, Borrower shall promptly furnish Lender with all notices of sums due for any amounts specified in the preceding clauses 5(a) through (e), and, on payment, with written evidence of such payment. If Borrower fails to promptly make any payment required under this Section, Lender may (but is not obligated to) make such payment. Borrower shall notify Lender immediately on receipt by Borrower of notice of any increase in the assessed value of the Mortgaged Property and agrees that Lender, in Borrower's name, may (but is not obligated to) contest by appropriate proceedings such increase in assessment. Without Lender's prior written consent, Borrower shall not allow any lien inferior to the lien of this Security Instrument to be perfected against the Mortgaged Property and shall not pennit any improvement bond for any unpaid special assessment to issue.

 

6. Leases of Mortgaged Property by Bor-rower. At Lender's request, Borrower shall furnish Lender with executed copies of all Leases of the Mortgaged Property or any portion of it then in force. If Lender so requires, all Leases later entered into by Borrower are subject to Lender's prior review and approval and must be acceptable to Lender in fonn and content. Each Lease must specifically provide, inter alia, that (a) it is subordinate to the lien of this Security Instrument; (b) the tenant attorns to Lender (and Borrower consents to any such attomment), such attornment to be effective on Lender's acquisition of title to the Mortgaged Property; (c) the tenant agrees to execute such further evidence of attornment as Lender may from time to time request; (d) the tenant's attornment shall not be tenninated by foreclosure; and (e) Lender, at Lender's option, may accept or reject such attornment. If Borrower learns that any tenant proposes to do, or is doing, any act that may give rise to any right of setoff against Rent, Borrower shall immediately (i) take measures reasonably calculated to prevent the accrual of any such right of setoff; (ii) notify Lender of all measures so taken and of the amount of any setoff claimed by any such tenant; and (iii) within I0 days after the accrual of any right of setoff against Rent, reimburse any tenant who has acquired such right, in full, or take other measures that will effectively discharge such setoff and ensure that rents subsequently due shall continue to be payable without claim of setoff or deduction.

 

At Lender's request, Borrower shall assign to Lender, by written instrument satisfactory to Lender, all Leases of the Mortgaged Property, and all security deposits made by tenants in connection with such Leases. On assignment to Lender of any such Lease, Lender shall succeed to all rights and powers of Borrower with respect to such Lease, and Lender, in Lender's sole and absolute discretion, shall have the right to modify, extend, or tenninate such Lease and to execute other further leases with respect to the Mortgaged Property that is the subject of such assigned Lease.

 

Neither Borrower, tenant nor any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property shall use the Mortgaged Property, except in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations; nor shall Borrower, tenant or any other occupant cause the Mortgaged Property to become subject to any use that is not in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, rules and regulations.

 

If Borrower suspects any tenant or other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is using the Mortgaged Property in a manner that is not in compliance with any Governmental Requirement to which Borrower, tenant, or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property is subject, Borrower shall immediately take appropriate action to remedy the violation, and shall notify Lender of any potential violation within one(]) day of discovery of any such potential violation. Any potential violation by a tenant or any other occupant of the Mortgaged Property of any Governmental Requirement is an Event of Default under the terms of the Loan Agreement, the Note and this Security Instrument; and upon the occurrence of any such violation, Lender, at Lender's option, may, without prior notice, declare all sums secured by this Security Instrument, regardless of their stated due date(s), immediately due and payable and may exercise all rights and remedies in the Loan Documents.

7. Right to Collect and Receive Rents. Despite any other provision of this Security Instrument, Lender grants pennission to Borrower to collect and retain the Rents of the Mortgaged Property as they become due and payable; however, such permission to Borrower shall be automatically revoked on default by Borrower in payment of any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument or in the performance of any of the Obligations, and Lender shall have the rights set forth in the laws and regulations where the Mortgaged Property is located regardless of whether declaration of default has been delivered, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument. Failure of or discontinuance by Lender at any time, or from time to time, to collect any such Rents shall not in any manner affect the subsequent enforcement by Lender at any time, or from time to time, of the right, power, and authority to collect these Rents. The receipt and application by Lender of all such Rents under this Security Instrument, after execution and delivery of declaration of default and demand for sale as provided in this Security Instrument or during the pendency of trustee's sale proceedings under this Security Instrument or judicial foreclosure, shall neither cure such breach or default nor affect such sale proceedings, or any sale made under them, but such Rents, less all costs of operation, maintenance, collection, and Attorneys' Fees, when received by Lender, may be applied in reduction of the entire Indebtedness from time to time secured by this Security Instrument, in such order as Lender may decide. Nothing in this Security Instrument, nor the exercise of Lender's right to collect, nor an assumption by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option, nor an assumption of liability under, nor a subordination of the lien or charge of this Security Instrument to, any such tenancy, lease, or option, shall be, or be construed to be, an affirmation by Lender of any tenancy, lease, or option.

 

If the Rents of the M011gaged Property are not sufficient to meet the costs, if any, of taking control of and managing the Mortgaged Property and collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Lender for such purposes shall become an Indebtedness of Borrower to Lender secured by this Security Instrument. Unless Lender and Borrower agree in writing to other tenns of payment, such amounts shall be payable on notice from Lender to Borrower requesting such payment and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the rate stated in the Note unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to Governmental Requirements, in which event the amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate that may be collected from Borrower under Governmental Requirements.

 

Borrower expressly understands and agrees that Lender will have no liability to Borrower or any other person for Lender's failure or inability to collect Rents from the Mortgaged Property or for failing to collect such Rents in an amount that is equal to the fair market rental value of the Mortgaged Property. Borrower understands and agrees that neither the assignment of Rents to Lender nor the exercise by Lender of any of its rights or remedies under this Security Instrument shall be deemed to make Lender a "mortgagee-in-possession" or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it, unless and until Lender, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession of it. Nor shall appointment of a receiver for the Mortgaged Property by any court at the request of Lender or by agreement with Borrower, or the entering into possession of the Mortgaged Property or any part of it by such receiver be deemed to make Lender a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment, or operation of all or any portion of it.

Lender, at its option, may appear in and prosecute in its own name any action or proceeding to enforce any cause of action assigned to it under this Section and may make any compromise or settlement in such action whatsoever. Borrower covenants that it shall execute and deliver to Lender such further assignments of any such compensation awards, damages, or causes of action as Lender may request from time to time. If Lender fails or does not elect to prosecute any such action or proceeding and Borrower elects to do so, Borrower may conduct the action or proceeding at its own expense and risk.

 

9. Defenseof Securitv Jnstrument; Litigation. Borrower represents and warrants that this Security Instrument creates a first position lien and security interest against the Mortgaged Property.

If the amounts deposited are in excess of the actual obligations for which they were deposited, Lender may refund any such excess, or, at its option, may hold the excess in a reserve account, not in trust and not bearing interest, and reduce proportionately the required monthly deposits for the ensuing year. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to affect any right or remedy of Lender under any other provision of this Security Instrument or under any statute or rule oflaw to pay any such amount and to add the amount so paid to the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument.

Notwithstanding the preceding, Borrower and Lender may agree to impounds of taxes and insurance which impounds shall be identified in the Note.

 

Lender or its designee shall hold all amounts so deposited as additional security for the sums secured by this Security Instrument. Lender may, in its sole and absolute discretion and without regard to the adequacy of its security under this Security Instrument, apply such amounts or any portion of it to any Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, and such application shall not be construed to cure or waive any default or notice of default under this Security Instrument.

 

If Lender requires deposits to be made under this Section, Borrower shall deliver to Lender all tax bills, bond and assessment statements, statements for insurance premiums, and statements for any other obligations referred to above as soon as Borrower receives such documents.

 

If Lender sells or assigns this Security Instrument, Lender shall have the right to transfer all amounts deposited under this Section to the purchaser or assignee. After such a transfer, Lender shall be relieved and have no further liability under this Security Instrument for the application of such deposits, and Borrower shall look solely to such purchaser or assignee for such application and for all responsibility relating to such deposits.

Borrower authorizes and empowers Trustee to sell the Mortgaged Property, together or in lots or parcels, as Trustee shall deem expedient; to receive the proceeds of said sale; and to execute and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof good and sufficient deeds of conveyance thereto by fee simple title, with covenants of general warranty, and Borrower binds itself, himself or herself to warrant and forever defend the title of such purchaser or purchasers. Trustee may postpone the sale of all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property by public announcement made at the initial time and place of sale, and from time to time later by public announcement made at the time and place of sale fixed by the preceding postponement. Any person, including Borrower, Trustee, or Lender, may purchase at such sale. Lender may offset its bid at such sale to the extent of the full amount owed to Lender under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Trustee's fees, expenses of sale, and costs, expenses, and Attorneys' Fees incurred by or on behalf of Lender in connection with collecting, 1itigating, or otherwise enforcing any right under the Loan Documents.

 

The proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Security Instrument, together with any other sums secured by this Security Instrument, which then may be held by the Trustee or Lender or any other person, shall be applied as follows: (I) To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale, including Trustee's fees, costs of title evidence, Attorneys' Fees, and reasonable compensation to Lender and its agents and consultants, and of any judicial proceedings in which the same costs and expenses of sale may be made, and of all expenses, liabilities, and advances made or incurred by the Trustee or Lender under this Security Instrument, together with interest at the rate set forth in the Note on all advances made by the Trustee or Lender and all taxes or assessments, except any taxes, assessments, or other charges subject to which the Mortgaged Property was sold; (2) to the payment of the whole amount then due, owing, or unpaid on the Note for interest and principal, with interest on the unpaid principal at the Default Rate (as defined in the Note), from the due date of any such payment of principal until the same is paid; (3) to the payment of any other Indebtedness required to be paid by Borrower under any provision of this Security Instrument, the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents; and (4) to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive it.

38. Trustee. The Trustee shall be deemed to have accepted the terms of this trust when this Security Instrument, duly executed and acknowledged, is made a public record as provided by law. The Trustee shall not be obligated to notify any party to this Security Instrument of any pending sale under any other Security Instrument or of any action or proceeding in which Borrower, Lender, or Trustee is a party, unless such sale relates to or reasonably might affect the Mortgaged Property, this Security Instrument, Lender's security for the payment of the Indebtedness and the performance of the Obligations, or the rights or powers of Lender or Trustee under the Loan Documents, or unless such action or proceeding has been instituted by Trustee against the Mortgaged Property, Borrower, or Lender.

 

In case of any sale hereunder, all prerequisites to the sale shall be presumed to have been performed, and in conveyance given hereunder, all statements of facts or other recitals made therein as to any of the following, shall be taken in all courts of law or equity as prima facie evidence that the facts so stated or recited are true; i.e., the nonpayment of money secured; the request to Trustee to enforce this trust; the proper and due appointment of any substitute trustee; the advertisement of sale or time, place and manner of sale; or any other preliminary fact or thing. Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Trustee in good faith and reasonably believed to be within the discretion or power conferred upon Trustee by this Security Instrument and shall be answerable only for losses occurring through his or her gross negligence or willful misconduct. Borrower agrees to save and hold Trustee and Lender harmless from all loss and expense, including reasonable Attorneys' Fee, costs of a title search or abstract, and preparation of survey, incurred by reason of any action, suit or proceeding (including an action, suit or proceeding to foreclose or to collect the debt secured hereby) in and to which Trustee or Lender may be or become a party by reason hereof, including but not limited to, condemnation, bankruptcy and administration proceedings, as well as any other proceeding wherein proof of claim is required by law to be filed or in which it becomes necessary to defend or uphold the terms of this Security Instrument, and in each such instance, all money paid or expended by Trustee or Lender, together with interest thereon from date of such payment at the rate set forth in said Note or at the Default Rate, whichever is higher, shall be so much additional indebtedness secured hereby and shall be immediately due and payable by Borrower.

 

39. Power of Trustee to Reconvev or Consent. At any time, without liability and without notice to Borrower, on Lender's written request and presentation of the Note and this Security Instrument to Trustee for endorsement, and without altering or affecting (a) the personal liability of Borrower or any other person for the payment of the Indebtedness secured by this Security Instrument, or (b) the lien of this Security Instrument on the remainder of the Mortgaged Property as security for the repayment of the full amount of the Indebtedness then or later secured by this Security Instrument, (c) or any right or power of Lender or Trustee with respect to the remainder of the Mortgaged Property, Trustee may (i) reconvey or release any part of the Mortgaged Property from the lien of this Security Instrument; (ii) approve the preparation or filing of any map or plat of the Mortgaged Property; (iii) join in the granting of any easement burdening the Mmigaged Property; or (iv) enter into any extension or subordination agreement affecting the Mortgaged Property or the lien of this Security lnstrument.

40. Duty to Reconvey. On Lender's written request reciting that all sums secured hereby have been paid, surrender of the Note and this Security lnstrument to Trustee for cancellation and retention by Trustee, and payment by Borrower of any reconveyance fees customarily charged by Trustee, Trustee shall reconvey, without warranty, the Mo1igaged Property then held by Trustee under this Security lnstrument. The recitals in such reconveyance of any matters of fact shall be conclusive proof of their truthfulness. The grantee in such reconveyance may be described as "the person or persons legally entitled to the Mortgaged Property." Such request and reconveyance shall operate as a reassignment of the Rents assigned to Lender in this Security lnstrument.

 

41. Substitution of Trustee. Lender, at Lender's option, may from time to time, by written instrument, substitute a successor or successors to any Trustee named in or acting under this Security lnstrument, which instrument, when executed and acknowledged by Lender and recorded in the office of the Recorder of the county or counties in which the Mortgaged Property is located, shall constitute conclusive proof of the proper substitution of such successor Trustee or Trustees, who shall, without conveyance from the predecessor Trustee, succeed to all right, title, estate, powers, and duties of such predecessor Trustee, including, without limitation, the power to reconvey the Mortgaged Property. To be effective, the instrument must contain the names of the original Borrower, Trustee, and Lender under this Security lnstrument, the book and page or instrument or document number at which, and the county or counties in which, this Security lnstrument is recorded, and the name and address of the substitute Trustee. If any notice of default has been recorded under this Security Instrument, this power of substitution cannot be exercised until all costs, fees, and expenses of the then acting Trustee have been paid. On such payment, the then acting Trustee shall endorse receipt of the payment on the instrument of substitution. The procedure provided in this Section for substitution of Trustees is not exclusive of other provisions for substitution provided by Governmental Requirements.

 

42. Collection of Rents. During an Event of Default, any and all Rents collected or received by Borrower shall be accepted and held for Lender in trust and shall not be commingled with Borrower's funds and property, but shall be promptly paid over to Lender. This instrument constitutes an assignment ofrents and a security instrument under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code (SB 889 as enacted June 2011) and affords Lender, as beneficiary hereunder, all rights and remedies of an assignee under Chapter 64, Texas Property Code. This assignment of rents secures the Indebtedness, and a security interest in all rents from the Mortgaged Property is hereby created under Chapter 64 of the Texas Property Code to secure the Obligations.

 

If the Lender deems it necessary or convenient to have the rents collected by a receiver appointed for that purpose following an event of default, the Lender may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, without notice and without regard for the adequacy of the security for the Indebtedness and without regard for the solvency of Borrower, any guarantor, or of any person, firm or other entity liable for the payment of the Indebtedness and shall have a receiver appointed. The Borrower further hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver should Lender elect to seek such relief.

43. Waiver of Rjght of Offset; Waiver of Deficiency Statutes. No portion of the Indebtedness secured by this Security lnstrument shall be or be deemed to be offset or compensated by all or any part of any claim, cause of action, counterclaim, or cross-claim, whether liquidated or unliquidated, that Borrower may have or claim to have against Lender. To the extent permitted by law, Borrower expressly waives and relinquishes any and all rights and remedies under Sections 51.003, 51.004 and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code, as amended or re-codified (the "Deficiency Statutes"), including without limitation, the right to seek a credit against or offset of any deficiency judgment based on the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property sold at any judicial or non-judicial foreclosure; and to the extent permitted by law, Borrower agrees that Lender shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Borrower and/or any other party obligated on the Indebtedness secured hereby equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Indebtedness secured hereby and the foreclosure sales price. Alternatively, in the event the foregoing waiver is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, the following shall be the basis for the finder of fact's determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale in proceedings governed by any of the Deficiency Statues: (a) the Mortgaged Property shall be valued in an "as is" condition as of the date of the foreclosure sale, without any assumption or expectation that the Mortgaged Property will be repaired or improved in any manner before a resale of the Mortgaged Property after foreclosure: (b) the valuation shall be based upon an assumption that the foreclosure purchaser desires a resale of the Mortgaged Property for cash promptly (but not later than twelve (12) months) following the foreclosure sale; (c) all reasonable closing costs customarily borne by the seller in commercial real estate transactions should be deducted from the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property, including without limitation, brokerage commissions, title insurance premiums, cost of a survey, tax prorations, Attorneys' Fees, and marketing costs; (d) the gross fair market value of the Mortgaged Property shall be further discounted to account for any estimated holding costs associated with maintaining the Mortgaged Property pending sale, including without limitation, utilities expenses, property management fees, security, taxes and assessments (without duplication), and other maintenance, operational and ownership expenses; and (e) any expert opinion testimony given or considered in connection with a determination of the fair market value of the Mortgaged Property must be given by persons having at least five (5) years' experience in appraising property similar to the Mortgaged Property and who have conducted and prepared a complete written appraisal of the Mortgaged Property and taking into consideration the factors set forth above.

 

44. NO SUBORDINATE FINANCING. NO FURTHER ENCUMBRANCES MAY BE RECORDED AGAINST THE REAL PROPERTY WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF LENDER. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS PROVISION SHALL CONSTITUTE AN EVENT OF DEFAULT AND, AT THE LENDER'S OPTION, THE LOAN SHALL IMMEDIATELY BECOME DUE AND PAYABLE. CONSENT TO ONE FURTHER ENCUMBRANCE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO REQUIRE SUCH CONSENT TO FUTURE OR SUCCESSIVE ENCUMBRANCES.

 

45. WAIVEROFNOTICES. Except as provided in the Note and as otherwise provided herein, unless (and then to the extent not) prohibited by Applicable Law, the Borrower, and each surety, endorser, guarantor and other person liable or to become liable for payment of any of the Indebtedness:

 

 

(i)

waive: opportunity to cure breach or default; grace; all notices, demands and presentments for payment; all notices of dishonor, non-payment, acceleration of maturity or intention to accelerate maturity; protest; dishonor; all other notices whatsoever; and, diligence in taking any action to collect amounts secured hereunder or in the handling of any collateral securing the Obligations at any time; and,

 

 

 

 

(ii)

consent and agree (without notice of any of the following): to any substitution, subordination, exchange or release of any security for the Obligations or the release of any party primarily or secondarily liable on the Indebtedness; that the Lender shall not be required first to institute suit or exhaust his remedies against the Borrower or others liable or to become liable on the Obligations or to enforce his rights against them or any security therefor; and, to any extension, renewal, rearrangement, or postponement of the time or manner of payment of the Indebtedness and to any other indulgence with respect hereto or thereto. Borrower waives any right ofredemption.

46. UsurvSaving Pr-ovi ions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness, or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law pennits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. If the Applicable Law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower's and Lender's express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate (as hereinafter defined) shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of the Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed refonned and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the Applicable Laws, but so as to pennit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if the Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated tenn hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Grantor. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Lender for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated tenn of the Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The tenns and provisions of this Section shall control and supersede every other tenn, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

47. Covenants Running with the Land; Release. The Obligations contained in this Security Instrument are intended by Borrower, Lender, and Trustee to be, and shall be construed as, covenants running with the Mortgaged Property until the lien of this Security Instrument has been fully released by Lender. If the Indebtedness is paid in full in accordance with the terms of this Security Instrument and the Loan Documents, and if Borrower shall well and truly perform all of the Obligations and Borrower's covenants contained herein, then this conveyance shall become null and void and the liens hereof shall be released upon Borrower's request (as approved by Lender) and at Borrower's expense.

SECURED NOTE

 

$212,692.50

Travis County, Texas

 

Property Address: 313 Mica Tri, Maxwell, Texas 78656-2009

 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC-313 MICA, a series of TIRIOS PROPCO SERIES LLC, a Delaware series limited liability company ("Borrower"), whose address is 103 Saddle Ridge Dr, Cedar Park, Texas 78613-7473, hereby promises to pay to Housemax Funding, LLC, a Texas limited liability company, or order ("Lender"), whose address is 901 S Mo Pac Expy Ste 125 Bldg 4, Austin, Texas 78746, the principal sum of Two Hundred Twelve Thousand Six Hundred Ninety-Two and 50/100 Dollars ($212,692.50), together with interest on the entire Loan Amount of this Note, as follows:

 

1. Interest. Interest on the entire Loan Amount, including any Lender Retained Funds, will accrue from the date any proceeds have been distributed to or on behalf of the Borrower (the "Date of Advance") at an annual rate equal to Nine and 99/100 Percent (9.99%).

 

1.1. Computation of Jnterest. Interest on this Note is computed on a 30/360 basis; that is, with the exception of odd days before the first full payment cycle, monthly interest is calculated by applying the ratio of the interest rate over a year of 360 days, multiplied by the entire Loan Amount, multiplied by a month of30 days. Interest for the odd days before the first full month and any partial month in which the loan is repaid in full is calculated on the basis of the actual days and a 360-day year and shall include the day of payoff. All interest payable under this Note is computed using this method.

 

2. Pavment Obligations.

 

2.1. In General. Borrower will make a payment each month until the entire indebtedness evidenced by this Note and all accrued and unpaid principal, interest and other charges due hereunder have been paid in full. If Borrower still owes amounts under this Note on June 1, 2024 (the "Maturity Date"), Borrower will pay those amounts in full on that date. Payments due under the Note shall be made in U.S. currency. Lender may charge a non-sufficient funds fee, in Lender's discretion, for each payment that is returned unpaid by the Borrower's bank. This charge may be in addition to any other charges provided for herein. Further, if any check or other instrument received by Lender as payment under the Note or the Security Instrument is returned to Lender unpaid, Lender may require that any or all subsequent payments due under this Note and the Security Instrument be made in one or more of the following forms, as selected by Lender: (a) cash; (b) money order; (c) certified check, bank check, treasurer's check or cashier's check, provided any such check is drawn upon an institution whose deposits are insured by a federal agency, instrumentality, or entity; (d) Electronic Funds Transfer; or (e) wire. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.2. Interest-OnIv Payments. Interest-only payments shall be due and payable in consecutive monthly installments of One Thousand Seven Hundred Seventy and 67/l 00 Dollars ($1,770.67) commencing with the first payment due on July 1, 2023 and continuing on the first day of every month thereafter for a period of twelve (12) consecutive months.

 

2.3. Servicing Fees. In addition to any amounts due above, Borrower shall be responsible for all servicing costs. Servicing costs will be included in Borrower's monthly statement provided by Lender's loan servicer of Lender's choice. In addition, servicing costs shall be billed to Borrower as incurred.

 

2.4. Balloon Pavment. The payment schedule for this Loan requires that on the Maturity Date Borrower make a balloon payment of all unpaid principal, interest, charges, fees, costs and any other unpaid amounts due under the Loan Documents.

2.5. Deliverv or Payment . Payments due under this Note shall be made to Lender by electronic funds transfer by automated clearing house payments ("ACH Payments"). Borrower shall at all times maintain a valid account to be used for ACH Payments and shall ensure sufficient funds in the account to cover the amount of each payment or debit entry. Borrower's failure to maintain a valid account to be used for ACH Payments or failure to deposit and/or maintain sufficient funds in the account for each debit entry, shall be a Default under this Note and the Loan Agreement. Lender reserves the right, in its sole and absolute discretion, to require payment in any other manner.

 

2.6. Order of AppUcation of Pavments. Each payment under this Note shall be credited in the following order: (a) costs, fees, charges, and advances paid or incurred by Lender or payable to Lender and interest under any provision of this Note, the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument, in such order as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects, (b) interest payable under the Note, and (c) principal under the Note.

 

2.7. Other Terms. This Note is subject to the following additional terms as provided for in the Loan Agreement. See headings in Loan Agreement sections for applicability.

 

2.7.1. NIA.

 

3. Late Charge. Borrower acknowledges that default in the payment of any sum due under this Note will result in losses and additional expenses to Lender in servicing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, handling such delinquent payments, and meeting its other financial obligations. Borrower further acknowledges that the extent of such loss and additional expenses is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, if any payment due under this Note is not received by Lender within ten (10) days when due, a charge of 5 cents ($0.05) for each dollar ($1.00) that is not paid when due would be a reasonable estimate of expenses so incurred (the "Late Charge"). Without prejudicing or affecting any other rights or remedies of Lender, Borrower shall pay the Late Charge to Lender as liquidated damages to cover expenses incurred in handling such delinquent payment.

 

4. Default. On (a) Borrower's failure to pay any installment or other sum due under this Note when due and payable (whether by extension, acceleration, or otherwise), (b) an Event of Default (as defined in the Loan Agreement), or (c) any breach of any other promise or obligation in this Note or in any other instrument now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced by this Note, then, and in any such event, Lender may, at its option, declare this Note (including, without limitation, all accrued interest) due and payable immediately regardless of the Maturity Date. Borrower expressly waives notice of the exercise of this option.

 

5. Prepayment. Borrower may prepay this Note in whole or in part at any time without penalty. All prepayments of principal on this Note shall be applied to the most remote principal installment or installments then unpaid.

 

6. Interest on Default. If Borrower is in default under the Loan Documents, then at the sole and absolute discretion of Lender and without notice or opportunity to cure, the entire Loan Amount shall immediately bear an annual interest rate equal to the lesser of (a) Fifteen and 99/100 Percent (15.99%); or (b) the maximum interest rate allowed by law (the "Default Rate"). The Loan shall accrue interest at the Default Rate only until all defaults are cured and the Loan is reinstated. Borrower acknowledges, understands and agrees that in connection with any default: (i) Lender's risk of nonpayment of the Loan will be materially increased; (ii) Lender's ability to meet its other obligations and to take advantage of other investment opportunities will be adversely impacted; (iii) Lender may need to set aside funds in a loan loss reserve, repurchase the loan from a credit provider or otherwise impair their capital; (iv) Lender may be unable to raise additional funds from investors, credit facilities or other capital sources due to defaults in its portfolio; (v) the value of the Lender's loan will materially decrease and may become unmarketable altogether; (vi) the value of Lender's business enterprise will be reduced; (vii) Lender will incur additional costs and expenses arising from its loss of the use of the amounts due; (viii) the aforementioned list of risks, losses and damages is not exhaustive and Lender will suffer additional exposure to risk, losses and damages not specifically identified above; (ix) it is extremely difficult and impractical to determine such additional costs and expenses; (x) Lender is entitled to be compensated for such additional risks, costs, and expenses; and (xi) the increase to the Default Rate represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the additional risks, costs, and expenses Lender will incur by reason of Borrower's default and the additional compensation Lender is entitled to receive for the harms incurred by Lender due to Borrower's default. Interest at the Default Rate shall be payable by Borrower without prejudice to the rights of Lender to collect any other amounts to be paid under this Note (including, without limitation, late charges), the Loan Agreement, or the Security Instrument.

7. lnterest on1nterest. If any interest payment under this Note is not paid when due, the unpaid interest shall be added to the principal of this Note, shall become and be treated as principal, and shall thereafter bear like interest.

 

8. Due-on-Sale.

12. U ory avings Provisions. It is expressly stipulated and agreed to be the intent of Borrower and Lender at all times to comply strictly with the applicable Texas law governing the maximum rate or amount of interest payable on the Indebtedness (as hereinafter defined), or applicable United States federal law to the extent that such law pennits Lender to contract for, charge, take, reserve or receive a greater amount of interest than under Texas law. For purposes of this Note, "Indebtedness" shall mean all indebtedness evidenced by this Note, and all amounts payable in the performance of any covenant or obligation in any of the other Loan Documents or any other communication or writing by or between Bo1rnwer and Lender related to the transaction or transactions that are the subject matter of the Loan Documents, or any part of such indebtedness. lfthe applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any amount contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received in respect of the Indebtedness, including by reason of the acceleration of the maturity or the prepayment thereof, then it is Borrower's and Lender's express intent that all amounts charged in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate shall be automatically canceled, ab initio, and all amounts in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate theretofore collected by Lender shall be credited on the principal balance of the Indebtedness (or, if the Indebtedness has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Borrower), and the provisions of this Note and the other Loan Documents shall immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable laws, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder and thereunder; provided, however, if this Note has been paid in full before the end of the stated term hereof, then Borrower and Lender agree that Lender shall, with reasonable promptness after Lender discovers or is advised by Borrower that interest was received in an amount in excess of the Maximum Lawful Rate, either credit such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender and/or refund such excess interest to Borrower. Borrower hereby agrees that as a condition precedent to any claim seeking usury penalties against Lender, Borrower will provide written notice to Lender, advising Lender in reasonable detail of the nature and amount of the violation, and Lender shall have sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice in which to correct such usury violation, if any, by either refunding such excess interest to Borrower or crediting such excess interest against the Indebtedness then owing by Borrower to Lender. All sums contracted for, charged, taken, reserved or received by Borrower for the use, forbearance or detention of the Indebtedness shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated or spread, using the actuarial method, throughout the stated term of this Note (including any and all renewal and extension periods) until payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Indebtedness does not exceed the Maximum Lawful Rate from time to time in effect and applicable to the Indebtedness for so long as debt is outstanding. In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving tri-party accounts) apply to this Note or any other part of the Indebtedness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, it is not the intention of Lender to accelerate the maturity of any interest that has not accrued at the time of such acceleration or to collect unearned interest at the time of such acceleration. The terms and provisions of this paragraph shall control and supersede every other term, covenant or provision contained herein, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any other document or instrument pertaining to the Indebtedness.

 

13. Capitalized Terms. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement).

 

14. Loan Agreement. This Note is also secured by and is subject to the provisions of that certain Loan and Security Agreement of even date herewith (the "Loan Agreement") between Borrower and Lender, and all Collateral referenced and incorporated in the Loan Agreement. As specifically provided in the Loan Agreement, if Borrower defaults under this Note, Lender has the right and option to foreclose against any Collateral provided under the Loan Agreement.

In addition, the Lender may exercise in respect of any Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein (or in any Loan Document) or otherwise available to it, a)] the rights and remedies of a secured party under the applicable Uniform Commercial Code (the "Code") whether or not the Code applies to the affected Collateral, and also may (i) require the Borrower to, and the Borrower hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Lender forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Lender and make it available to the Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender that is reasonably convenient to both parties and (ii) without notice except as specified below or by Applicable Law, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more lots at public or private sale, at any of the Lender's offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit, or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Lender may deem commercially reasonable. Borrower agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days' notice to the Borrower of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.

Lender's exercise or partial exercise of, or failure to exercise, any remedy shall not restrict Lender from further exercise of that remedy or any other available remedy. No extension of time for payment or performance of any obligation shall operate to release discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability of Borrower for any obligations, either in whole or in part.

4. Guaranty of Pavment. Subject to the limitations provided herein, Guarantor's liability on this Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and performance, not of collectability.

 

5. Ce ation of Liability. Guarantor's liability under this Guaranty shall not in any way be affected by the cessation of Borrower's liability for any reason other than full performance of all the obligations under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any and all obligations to indemnify Lender.

 

6. Authorization of Lender. Guarantor authorizes Lender, without notice or demand and without affecting its liability under this Guaranty, and without consent of Guarantor or prior notice to Guarantor, to:

 

6.1 Modifv Loan Document . Make any modifications to the Loan Documents;

 

6.2 Assign Guaranty. Assign the Loan Documents and this Guaranty;

 

6.3 Modify Security. Take, hold, or release security for the performance of the Guaranteed Obligations with the consent of the party providing such security;

 

6.4 Additional Guarantor . Accept or discharge, in whole or in part, additional guarantors;

 

6.5 Order of Sale. Direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of security now or later held under the Loan Documents or this Guaranty, and also bid at any such sale to the extent allowed by law; and

 

6.6 Application of Proceeds. Apply any payments or recovery from Borrower, Guarantor, or any source, and any proceeds of any security, to Borrower's obligations under the Loan Documents in such manner, order, and priority as Lender may elect, whether or not those obligations are guaranteed by this Guaranty or secured at the time of such application.

 

7. Lenders Rights on Borrower' Default. Guarantor agrees that on Borrower's default Lender may elect to nonjudicially or judicially foreclose against all or part of the real or personal property securing Borrower's obligations, or accept an assignment of any such security in lieu of foreclosure, or compromise or adjust any part of such obligations, or make any other accommodation with Borrower or Guarantor, or exercise any other remedy against Borrower or any security. No such action by Lender shall release or limit Guarantor's liability to Lender, even if the effect of that action is to deprive Guarantor of the right to collect reimbursement from Borrower or any other person for any sums paid to Lender or bar or prejudice Guarantor's rights of subrogation, contribution, or indemnity against Borrower or any other person. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that, on any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any security held by Lender, such security shall no longer exist and that any right that Guarantor might otherwise have, on full payment of the Borrower's obligations by Guarantor to Lender, to participate in any such security or to be subrogated to any rights of Lender with respect to any such security shall be nonexistent; nor shall Guarantor be deemed to have any right, title, interest, or claim under any circumstances in or to any real or personal property held by Lender or any third party following any foreclosure or assignment in lieu of foreclosure of any such security. Guarantor again specifically acknowledges and waives the above as more specifically provided for herein.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

 

(e) Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine; provided, however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company's books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

 

(f) Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, or the Interest Designation).

 

Section 3.4 Authorization to Issue Interests.

 

(a) The Company may issue Interests, and options, rights and warrants relating to Interests, for any Company or Series purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member shall determine, all without the approval of the Economic Members. Each Interest shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

 
15

 

 

(b) Subject to Section 6.3(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of Interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

(c) Interests in the Company and any Series will be represented by Tokens. A ledger of holdings of Tokens (the "Blockchain Token Ledger") will be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain. The Blockchain Token Ledger will record the public wallet addresses of all electronic wallets that hold Tokens, and the balance of Tokens registered to each such wallet address on the Tirios Blockchain. Each Member will be provided access to view Token holding information recorded to the Blockchain Token Ledger for as long such Member remains a holder of Tokens. A Member will be deemed the Record Holder with respect to a Token as of any date only if, as of such date, such Token is registered on the Tirios Blockchain in such Member's name. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Company Interest held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a Record Holder of the corresponding number of Tokens. For these purposes, the Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information recorded on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date.

 

Section 3.5 Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, the Economic Members shall not participate in the decision-making, management or control of the Company's business and shall have no authority to act for or bind the Company. To the extent that the Economic Members are permitted to vote, (i) each Record Holder of Interests shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/Token for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally, (ii) all Record Holders of Interests (regardless of Series) shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which all Record Holders of Interests are entitled to vote, (iii) Record Holders of a particular Series of Interest shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/token of the Series for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of the Members of such Series. Any action required by this Agreement or the Act to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

 

Section 3.7 Splits.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number of Interests are proportionately adjusted.

 

 
16

 

 

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination oflnterests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than 10 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number oflnterests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c) Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

 

Section 3.8 Agreements. The rights of all Members and the terms of all Interests are subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

ARTICLE IV - REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

 

Section 4.1 Maintenance of a Register. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer and ownership limitations contained below:

 

(a) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company and each Series a register that will set forth the Record Holders of each of the Interests and information regarding the Transfer of each of the Interests. The Managing Member is hereby initially appointed as registrar and transfer agent of the Interests, provided that the Managing Member may appoint such third-party registrar and transfer agent as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion, for the purpose of registering Interests and Transfers of such Interests as herein provided, including as set forth in any Series Designation. Such registrar may be the Blockchain Token Ledger or a separate from the Blockchain Token Ledger.

 

(b) Upon acceptance by the Managing Member of the Transfer of any Interest, Interests/Tokens may be transferred only by following the procedures for peer-to-peer Token transfers available to Economic Members on the Tirios Blockchain. Each transferee of an Interest (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Economic Member with respect to the Interests so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company, including the Blockchain Token Ledger, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by completing a Form of Adherence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member in accordance with Section 4.2(g)(ii), (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Interests so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Managing Member and any Liquidator of the Company and each of their authorized officers and attorneys in fact, as the case may be, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The Transfer of any Interests and the admission of any new Economic Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required for the admission of new Economic Members.

 

 
17

 

 

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading, if any.

 

Section 4.2 Ownership Limitations.

 

(a) No Transfer of any Economic Members Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Economic Member, unless the written consent of the Managing Member has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion as further described in this Section 4.2. In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section must also be satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 3.6, assignment of the economic benefits of ownership of Interests may be made without the Managing Members consent, provided that the assignee is not an ineligible or unsuitable investor under applicable law.

 

(b) No Transfer of any Economic Member's Interests, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective unless the Managing Member determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the Company that such Transfer will not, unless waived by the Managing Member:

 

(i) result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit or REIT Aggregate Ownership Limit for any Series taxed as a REIT;

 

(ii) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series of Interests, unless such Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

 

(iii) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes ofERISA;

 

(iv) adversely affect the Company or such Series, or subject the Company, the Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective Affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause the Company to be disqualified as a limited liability company or subject the Company, any Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective Affiliates to any tax to which it would not otherwise be subject;

 

(v) require registration of the Company, any Series or any Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

 

(vi) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Economic Member.

 

(c) The transferring Economic Member, or such Economic Member's legal representative, shall give the Managing Member prior written notice before making any voluntary Transfer and notice within thirty (30) days after any involuntary Transfer (unless such notice period is otherwise waived by the Managing Member), and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Company to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the consequences referred to in paragraphs (b)(i) through (b)(vi) above. If a Transfer occurs by reason of the death of an Economic Member or assignee, the notice may be given by the duly authorized representative of the estate of the Economic Member or assignee. The notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and valid assignment in form and substance acceptable to the Managing Member.

 

 
18

 

 

(d) In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section shall result in beneficial ownership by multiple Persons of any Economic Members interest in the Company, the Managing Member may require one or more trustees or nominees to be designated to represent a portion of or the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferor as an Economic Member had pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(e) A transferee shall be entitled to any future distributions attributable to the Interests transferred to such transferee and to transfer such Interests in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, however, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of an Economic Member as a result of such Transfer until he or she becomes a Substitute Economic Member.

 

(t) The Company and each Series shall incur no liability for distributions made in good faith to the transferring Economic Member until a written instrument of Transfer has been received by the Company and recorded on its books and the effective date of Transfer has passed.

 

(g) Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, any Substitute Economic Member shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section, the Managing Member may require, in its sole discretion:

 

(i) the transferring Economic Member and each transferee to execute one or more deeds or other instruments of Transfer in a form satisfactory to the Managing Member;

 

(ii) each transferee to acknowledge its assumption (in whole or, if the Transfer is in respect of part only, in the proportionate part) of the obligations of the transferring Economic Member by executing a Form of Adherence (or any other equivalent instrument as determined by the Managing Member);

 

(iii) each transferee to provide all the information required by the Managing Member to satisfy itself as to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing and sanctions compliance matters; and

 

(iv) payment by the transferring Economic Member, in full, of the costs and expenses referred to in paragraph (h) below, and no Transfer shall be completed or recorded in the books of the Company, and no proposed Substitute Economic Member shall be admitted to the Company as an Economic Member, unless and until each of these requirements has been satisfied or, at the sole discretion of the Managing Member, waived.

 

(h) The transferring Economic Member shall bear all costs and expenses arising in connection with any proposed Transfer, whether or not the Transfer proceeds to completion, including any legal fees incurred by the Company or any broker or dealer, any costs or expenses in connection with any opinion of counsel, and any transfer taxes and filing fees.

 

(i) Any Transfer which violates this Section or other provision of this Agreement shall be void and the purported buyer, assignee, transferee, pledgee, chargee, mortgagee, or other recipient shall have no interest in or rights to Company assets, profits, losses or distributions and neither the Managing Member nor the Company shall be required to recognize any such interest or rights.

(c) Except as set forth in Section 4.3(b) above, in the event of the resignation of the Managing Member of its rights, obligations and title as Managing Member, the Managing Member shall appoint a successor Managing Member without need for vote or consent of the Economic Members.

(a) Subject to other applicable provisions of this ARTICLE V including Section 5.7, the Indemnified Persons shall not be liable to the Company or any Series for any acts or omissions by any of the Indemnified Persons arising from the exercise of their rights or performance of their duties and obligations in connection with the Company or any Series, this Agreement or any investment made or held by the Company or any Series, including with respect to any acts or omissions made while serving at the request of the Company or on behalf of any Series as an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, other than such acts or omissions that have been determined in a final, non- appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to constitute fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, "Expenses and Liabilities") arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Series (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Series has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member or the Officers are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company or any Series, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this paragraph that the Company and each applicable Series indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

 
24

 

 

(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.7, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(c) Any indemnification under this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by each applicable Series. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct.

Nothing herein shall limit the ability of the Managing Member to grant a waiver as may be permitted under Exhibit C.

(g) Except as may be otherwise agreed between the Company or a Series, on the one hand, and a Member (including a Managing Member or its Affiliates), on the other hand, any Member shall be entitled to and may have business interests and engage in business activities in addition to those relating to the Company or a Series, including business interests and activities in direct competition with the Company or any Series.

Persons acquiring Interests through an Initial Offering or Subsequent Offering shall make a Capital Contribution to the Company in an amount equal to the per Interest price determined in connection with such Initial Offering or Subsequent Offering and multiplied by the number of Interests acquired by such Person in such Initial Offering or Subsequent Offering, as applicable. Persons acquiring Interests in a manner other than through an Initial Offering or Subsequent Offering or pursuant to a Transfer shall make such Capital Contribution as shall be determined by the Managing Member in its sole discretion.

(c) Except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement (including any Series Designation): (i) no Member shall be entitled to the withdrawal or return of its Capital Contribution, except to the extent, if any, that distributions made pursuant to this Agreement or upon dissolution or termination of the Company or any Series may be considered as such by law and then only to the extent provided for in this Agreement; (ii) no Member holding any Series of any Interests of a Series shall have priority over any other Member holding the same Series either as to the return of Capital Contributions or as to distributions;

(iii) no interest shall be paid by the Company or any Series on any Capital Contributions; and (iv) no Economic Member, in its capacity as such, shall participate in the operation or management of the business of the Company or any Series, transact any business in the Company's or any Series name or have the power to sign documents for or otherwise bind the Company or any Series by reason of being a Member.

 

Section 3.3 Series of the Company.

 

(a) Establishment of Series. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Managing Member may, at any time and from time to time and in compliance with paragraph (c), cause the Company to establish in writing (each, a Series Designation) one or more series as such term is used under Section 18- 215 of the Delaware Act (each a Series) and in any such manner as permitted by the Delaware Act. The Series Designation shall relate solely to the Series established thereby and shall not be construed: (i) to affect the terms and conditions of any other Series, or (ii) to designate, fix or determine the rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Interests associated with any other Series, or the Members associated therewith. The terms and conditions for each Series established pursuant to this Section shall be as set forth in this Agreement and the Series Designation, as applicable, for the Series. Upon approval of any Series Designation by the Managing Member, such Series Designation shall be attached to this Agreement as an Exhibit until such time as none of such Interests of such Series remain Outstanding.

 

 
13

 

 

(b) Series Operation. Each of the Series shall operate to the extent practicable as if it were a separate limited liability company.

 

(c) Series Designation. The Series Designation establishing a Series may: (i) specify a name or names under which the business and affairs of such Series may be conducted; (ii) designate, fix and determine the relative rights, powers, authority, privileges, preferences, duties, responsibilities, liabilities and obligations in respect of Interests of such Series and the Members associated therewith (to the extent such terms differ from those set forth in this Agreement) and (iii) designate or authorize the designation of specific Officers to be associated with such Series. A Series Designation (or any resolution of the Managing Member amending any Series Designation) shall be effective when a duly executed original of the same is included by the Managing Member among the permanent records of the Company, and shall be annexed to, and constitute part of, this Agreement (it being understood and agreed that, upon such effective date, the Series described in such Series Designation shall be deemed to have been established and the Interests of such Series shall be deemed to have been authorized in accordance with the provisions thereof). The Series Designation establishing a Series may set forth specific provisions governing the rights of such Series against a Member associated with such Series who fails to comply with the applicable provisions of this Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, the applicable provisions of such Series Designation). In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and a Series Designation, the terms and conditions of the Series Designation shall prevail.

 

(d) Assets and Liabilities Associated with a Series.

 

(i) Assets Associated with a Series. All consideration received by the Company for the issuance or sale of Interests of a particular Series, together with all assets in which such consideration is invested or reinvested, and all income, earnings, profits and proceeds thereof, from whatever source derived, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any reinvestment of such proceeds, in whatever form the same may be (assets), shall, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, be held for the benefit of the Series or the Members associated with such Series, and not for the benefit of the Members associated with any other Series, for all purposes, and shall be accounted for and recorded upon the books and records of the Series separately from any assets associated with any other Series. Such assets are herein referred to as assets associated with that Series. In the event that there are any assets in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Members reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate such assets to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable, and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any asset so allocated to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be an asset associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this paragraph shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. Separate and distinct records shall be maintained for each and every Series, and the Managing Member shall not commingle the assets of one Series with the assets of any other Series.

 

 
14

 

 

(ii) Liabilities Associated with a Series. All debts, liabilities, expenses, costs, charges, obligations and reserves incurred by, contracted for or otherwise existing, with respect to a particular Series shall be charged against the assets associated with that Series. Such liabilities are herein referred to as liabilities associated with that Series. In the event that there are any liabilities in relation to the Company that, in the Managing Member's reasonable judgment, are not readily associated with a particular Series, the Managing Member shall allocate and charge (including indemnification obligations) such liabilities to, between or among any one or more of the Series, in such manner and on such basis as the Managing Member deems fair and equitable and in accordance with the Allocation Policy, and any liability so allocated and charged to a particular Series shall thereupon be deemed to be a liability associated with that Series. Each allocation by the Managing Member pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Members associated with each and every Series. All liabilities associated with a Series shall be enforceable against the assets associated with that Series only, and not against the assets associated with the Company or any other Series, and except to the extent set forth above, no liabilities shall be enforceable against the assets associated with any Series prior to the allocation and charging of such liabilities as provided above. Any allocation of liabilities that are not readily associated with a particular Series to, between or among one or more of the Series shall not represent a commingling of such Series to pool capital for the purpose of carrying on a trade or business or making common investments and sharing in profits and losses therefrom. The Managing Member has caused notice of this limitation on inter-series liabilities to be set forth in the Certificate of Formation, and, accordingly, the statutory provisions of Section 18-215(b) of the Delaware Act relating to limitations on inter-series liabilities (and the statutory effect under Section 18-207 of the Delaware Act of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Formation) shall apply to the Company and each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, no distribution on or in respect of Interests in a particular Series, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distribution made in connection with the winding up of such Series, shall be effected by the Company other than from the assets associated with that Series, nor shall any Member or former Member associated with a Series otherwise have any right or claim against the assets associated with any other Series (except to the extent that such Member or former Member has such a right or claim hereunder as a Member or former Member associated with such other Series or in a capacity other than as a Member or former Member).

 

(e) Ownership of Series Assets. Title to and beneficial interest in Series Assets shall be deemed to be held and owned by the relevant Series and no Member or Members of such Series, individually or collectively, shall have any title to or beneficial interest in specific Series Assets or any portion thereof. Each Member of a Series irrevocably waives any right that it may have to maintain an action for partition with respect to its interest in the Company, any Series or any Series Assets. Any Series Assets may be held or registered in the name of the relevant Series, in the name of a nominee or as the Managing Member may determine; provided. however, that Series Assets shall be recorded as the assets of the relevant Series on the Company's books and records, irrespective of the name in which legal title to such Series Assets is held. Any corporation, brokerage firm or transfer agent called upon to transfer any Series Assets to or from the name of any Series shall be entitled to rely upon instructions or assignments signed or purporting to be signed by the Managing Member or its agents without inquiry as to the authority of the person signing or purporting to sign such instruction or assignment or as to the validity of any transfer to or from the name of such Series.

 

(f) Prohibition on Issuance of Preference Interests. No Interests shall entitle any Member to any preemptive, preferential or similar rights unless such preemptive, preferential or similar rights are set forth in the applicable Series Designation on or prior to the date of the Initial Offering of any interests of such Series (the designation of such preemptive, preferential or similar rights with respect to a Series in the Series Designation, or the Interest Designation).

 

Section 3.4 Authorization to Issue Interests.

 

(a) The Company may issue Interests, and options, rights and warrants relating to Interests, for any Company or Series purpose at any time and from time to time to such Persons for such consideration (which may be cash, property, services or any other lawful consideration) or for no consideration and on such terms and conditions as the Managing Member shall determine, all without the approval of the Economic Members. Each Interest shall have the rights and be governed by the provisions set forth in this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

 
15

 

 

(b) Subject to Section 6.3(a)(i), and unless otherwise provided in the applicable Series Designation, the Company is authorized to issue in respect of each Series an unlimited number of interests. All Interests issued pursuant to, and in accordance with the requirements of, this ARTICLE III shall be validly issued Interests in the Company, except to the extent otherwise provided in the Delaware Act or this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

(c) Interests in the Company and any Series will be represented by Tokens. A ledger of holdings of Tokens (the "Blockchain Token Ledger'') will be recorded on the Tirios Blockchain. The Blockchain Token Ledger will record the public wallet addresses of all electronic wallets that hold Tokens, and the balance of Tokens registered to each such wallet address on the Tirios Blockchain. Each Member will be provided access to view Token holding information recorded to the Blockchain Token Ledger for as long such Member remains a holder of Tokens. A Member will be deemed the Record Holder with respect to a Token as of any date only if, as of such date, such Token is registered on the Tirios Blockchain in such Member's name. A Member shall be entitled to exercise the rights attributed to the Company Interest held by such Member only to the extent that, as of the respective date when such rights are intended to accrue or be exercised, such Member is a Record Holder of the corresponding number of Tokens. For these purposes, the Company and the Managing Member shall be entitled to conclusively rely on the information recorded on the Blockchain Token Ledger as of the relevant date.

 

Section 3.5 Voting Rights of Interests Generally. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement or any Series Designation, the Economic Members shall not participate in the decision-making, management or control of the Company's business and shall have no authority to act for or bind the Company. To the extent that the Economic Members are permitted to vote, (i) each Record Holder of Interests shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/Token for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of Members generally, (ii) all Record Holders of Interests (regardless of Series) shall vote together as a single class on all matters as to which all Record Holders of Interests are entitled to vote, (iii) Record Holders of a particular Series of Interest shall be entitled to one vote per Interest/token of the Series for all matters submitted for the consent or approval of the Members of such Series. Any action required by this Agreement or the Act to be taken at any meeting of the Members may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, shall be signed by the Members having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all Members entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.

 

Section 3.6 Record Holders. The Company shall be entitled to recognize the Record Holder as the owner of an Interest and, accordingly, shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such Interest on the part of any other Person, regardless of whether the Company shall have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, this Agreement or any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading (if ever). Without limiting the foregoing, when a Person (such as a broker, dealer, bank, trust company or clearing corporation or an agent of any of the foregoing) is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another Person in acquiring or holding Interests, as between the Company on the one hand, and such other Persons on the other, such representative Person shall be the Record Holder of such Interests.

 

 
16

 

 

Section 3.7 Splits.

 

(a) Subject to paragraph (c) of this Section and Section 3.4, and unless otherwise provided in any Interest Designation, the Company may make a pro rata distribution of Interests of a Series to all Record Holders of such Series, or may effect a subdivision or combination of Interests of any Series, in each case, on an equal per Interest basis and so long as, after any such event, any amounts calculated on a per Interest basis or stated as a number of interests are proportionately adjusted.

 

(b) Whenever such a distribution, subdivision or combination of interests is declared, the Managing Member shall select a date as of which the distribution, subdivision or combination shall be effective. The Managing Member shall send notice thereof at least 20 days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination to each Record Holder as of a date not less than IO days prior to the date of such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member also may cause a firm of independent public accountants selected by it to calculate the number of interests to be held by each Record Holder after giving effect to such distribution, subdivision or combination. The Managing Member shall be entitled to rely on any certificate provided by such firm as conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such calculation.

 

(c) Subject to Section 3.4 and unless otherwise provided in any Series Designation, the Company shall not issue fractional Interests upon any distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests. If a distribution, subdivision or combination of Interests would otherwise result in the issuance of fractional Interests, each fractional Interest shall be rounded to the nearest whole Interest (and a 0.5 Interest shall be rounded to the next higher Interest).

 

Section 3.8 Agreements. The rights of all Members and the terms of all Interests are subject to the provisions of this Agreement (including any Series Designation).

 

ARTICLE IV - REGISTRATION AND TRANSFER OF INTERESTS.

 

Section 4.1 Maintenance of a Register. Subject to the restrictions on Transfer and ownership limitations contained below:

 

(a) The Company shall keep or cause to be kept on behalf of the Company and each Series a register that will set forth the Record Holders of each of the Interests and information regarding the Transfer of each of the Interests. The Managing Member is hereby initially appointed as registrar and transfer agent of the Interests, provided that the Managing Member may appoint such third-party registrar and transfer agent as it determines appropriate in its sole discretion, for the purpose of registering Interests and Transfers of such Interests as herein provided, including as set forth in any Series Designation. Such registrar may be the Blockchain Token Ledger or a separate from the Blockchain Token Ledger.

 

(b) Upon acceptance by the Managing Member of the Transfer of any Interest, Interests/Tokens may be transferred only by following the procedures for peer-to-peer Token transfers available to Economic Members on the Tirios Blockchain. Each transferee of an Interest (i) shall be admitted to the Company as a Substitute Economic Member with respect to the Interests so transferred to such transferee when any such transfer or admission is reflected in the books and records of the Company, including the Blockchain Token Ledger, (ii) shall be deemed to agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement by completing a Form of Adherence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Managing Member in accordance with Section 4.2(g)(ii), (iii) shall become the Record Holder of the Interests so transferred, (iv) grants powers of attorney to the Managing Member and any Liquidator of the Company and each of their authorized officers and attorneys in fact, as the case may be, as specified herein, and (v) makes the consents and waivers contained in this Agreement. The Transfer of any Interests and the admission of any new Economic Member shall not constitute an amendment to this Agreement, and no amendment to this Agreement shall be required for the admission of new Economic Members.

 

 
17

 

 

(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement shall preclude the settlement of any transactions involving Interests entered into through the facilities of any National Securities Exchange or over-the-counter market on which such Interests are listed for trading, if any.

 

Section 4.2 Ownership Limitations.

 

(a) No Transfer of any Economic Members Interest, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Economic Member, unless the written consent of the Managing Member has been obtained, which consent may be withheld in its sole and absolute discretion as further described in this Section 4.2. In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section must also be satisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing but subject to Section 3.6, assignment of the economic benefits of ownership of Interests may be made without the Managing Members consent, provided that the assignee is not an ineligible or unsuitable investor under applicable law.

 

(b) No Transfer of any Economic Member's Interests, whether voluntary or involuntary, shall be valid or effective unless the Managing Member determines, after consultation with legal counsel acting for the Company that such Transfer will not, unless waived by the Managing Member:

 

(i) result in the transferee directly or indirectly owning in excess of the Aggregate Ownership Limit or REIT Aggregate Ownership Limit for any Series taxed as a REIT;

 

(ii) result in there being 2,000 or more beneficial owners (as such term is used under the Exchange Act) or 500 or more beneficial owners that are not accredited investors (as defined under the Securities Act) of any Series of Interests, unless such Interests have been registered under the Exchange Act or the Company is otherwise an Exchange Act reporting company;

 

(iii) cause all or any portion of the assets of the Company or any Series to constitute plan assets for purposes of ERJSA;

 

(iv) adversely affect the Company or such Series, or subject the Company, the Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective Affiliates to any additional regulatory or governmental requirements or cause the Company to be disqualified as a limited liability company or subject the Company, any Series, the Managing Member or any of their respective Affiliates to any tax to which it would not otherwise be subject;

 

(v) require registration of the Company, any Series or any Interests under any securities laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or any other jurisdiction; or

 

(vi) violate or be inconsistent with any representation or warranty made by the transferring Economic Member.

The Indemnified Persons shall be indemnified by the Company and, to the extent Expenses and Liabilities are associated with any Series, each such Series, in each case, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against all expenses and liabilities (including judgments, fines, penalties, interest, amounts paid in settlement with the approval of the Company and counsel fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) (collectively, "Expenses and Liabilities") arising from the performance of any of their duties or obligations in connection with their service to the Company or each such Series or this Agreement, or any investment made or held by the Company, each such Series, including in connection with any civil, criminal, administrative, investigative or other action, suit or proceeding to which any such Person may hereafter be made party by reason of being or having been a manager of the Company or such Series under Delaware law, an Officer of the Company or associated with such Series, a member of the Advisory Board or an officer, director, member, partner, fiduciary or trustee of another Person, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence. Without limitation, the foregoing indemnity shall extend to any liability of any Indemnified Person, pursuant to a loan guaranty or otherwise, for any indebtedness of the Company or any Series (including any indebtedness which the Company or any Series has assumed or taken subject to), and the Managing Member or the Officers are hereby authorized and empowered, on behalf of the Company or any Series, to enter into one or more indemnity agreements consistent with the provisions of this Section in favor of any Indemnified Person having or potentially having liability for any such indebtedness. It is the intention of this paragraph that the Company and each applicable Series indemnify each Indemnified Person to the fullest extent permitted by law, provided that this indemnification shall not cover Expenses and Liabilities that arise out of the acts or omissions of any Indemnified Person that have been determined in a final, non-appealable decision of a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to have resulted primarily from such Indemnified Person's fraud, willful misconduct or gross negligence.

 

 
24

 

 

(b) The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent they restrict the duties and liabilities of an Indemnified Person otherwise existing at law or in equity, including Section 5.7, are agreed by each Member to modify such duties and liabilities of the Indemnified Person to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(c) Any indemnification under this Section (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by each applicable Series. To the extent, however, that an Indemnified Person has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding described above, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such Indemnified Person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection therewith.

 

(d) Any Indemnified Person may apply to the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware or any other court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Delaware for indemnification to the extent otherwise permissible under paragraph (a). The basis of such indemnification by a court shall be a determination by such court that indemnification of the Indemnified Person is proper in the circumstances because such Indemnified Person has met the applicable standards of conduct set forth in paragraph (a). Neither a contrary determination in the specific case under paragraph (c) nor the absence of any determination thereunder shall be a defense to such application or create a presumption that the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification has not met any applicable standard of conduct. Notice of any application for indemnification pursuant to this paragraph shall be given to the Company promptly upon the filing of such application. If successful, in whole or in part, the Indemnified Person seeking indemnification shall also be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such application.

 

(e) To the fullest extent permitted by law, expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by an Indemnified Person in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may, at the option of the Managing Member, be paid by each applicable Series in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such Indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified by each such Series as authorized in this Section.

 

(f) The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by or granted pursuant to this Section shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under this Agreement, or any other agreement (including without limitation any Series Designation), vote of Members or otherwise, and shall continue as to an Indemnified Person who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnified Person unless otherwise provided in a written agreement with such Indemnified Person or in the writing pursuant to which such Indemnified Person is indemnified, it being the policy of the Company that indemnification of the persons specified in paragraph (a) shall be made to the fullest extent permitted by law. The provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to preclude the indemnification of any person who is not specified in paragraph (a) but whom the Company or an applicable Series has the power or obligation to indemnify under the provisions of the Delaware Act.

 

(g) The Company and any Series may, but shall not be obligated to, purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any Person entitled to indemnification under this Section against any liability asserted against such Person and incurred by such Person in any capacity to which they are entitled to indemnification hereunder, or arising out of such Person's status as such, whether or not the Company would have the power or the obligation to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Section.

 

 
25

(k) Each of the Indemnified Persons may, in the performance of his, her or its duties, consult with legal counsel, accountants, and other experts, and any act or omission by such Person on behalf of the Company or any Series in furtherance of the interests of the Company or such Series in good faith in reliance upon, and in accordance with, the advice of such legal counsel, accountants or other experts will be full justification for any such act or omission, and such Person will be fully protected for such acts and omissions; provided that such legal counsel, accountants, or other experts were selected with reasonable care by or on behalf of such Indemnified Person.

 

(1) An Indemnified Person shall not be denied indemnification in whole or in part under this Section because the Indemnified Person had an interest in the transaction with respect to which the indemnification applies if the transaction was otherwise permitted by the terms of this Agreement.

 

(m) Any liabilities which an Indemnified Person incurs as a result of acting on behalf of the Company or any Series (whether as a fiduciary or otherwise) in connection with the operation, administration or maintenance of an employee benefit plan or any related trust or funding mechanism (whether such liabilities are in the form of excise taxes assessed by the Internal Revenue Service, penalties assessed by the Department of Labor, restitutions to such a plan or trust or other funding mechanism or to a participant or beneficiary of such plan, trust or other funding mechanism, or otherwise) shall be treated as liabilities indemnifiable under this Section, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

 

(n) The Managing Member shall, in the performance of its duties, be fully protected in relying in good faith upon the records of the Company and any Series and on such information, opinions, reports or statements presented to the Company by any of the Officers or employees of the Company or associated with any Series, or by any other Person as to matters the Managing Member reasonably believes are within such other Person's professional or expert competence (including, without limitation, the Advisory Board).

 

(o) Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any way affect the limitations on the liability of or other rights of any indemnitee under this Section as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted and provided such Person became an indemnitee hereunder prior to such amendment, modification or repeal.

"Gross Asset Value" means, in respect of any asset of the Company or Series, the asset's adjusted basis for federal income tax purposes, except as follows:

 

(a) The initial Gross Asset Value of any asset contributed by a Member to the Company shall be the gross fair market value of such asset as reasonably determined by the Managing Member.

 

(b) The Gross Asset Value of all items of Company property shall be adjusted to equal their respective gross fair market values (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member and taking Code Section 7701(g) into account) as of the following times: (i) the acquisition of an additional interest in the Company or Series by any new or existing Member in exchange for more than a de minimis capital contribution; (ii) the distribution by the Company to a Member of more than a de minimis amount of Company or S er i es property as consideration for all or a portion of an interest in the Company or Series; (iii) the liquidation by the Company within the meaning of Regulations Section 1.704-l(b)(2)(ii)(g) (other than pursuant to Code Section 708(b)(l)(B)), and (iv) in connection with the grant of an interest in the Company (other than a de minimis interest) as consideration for the provision of services to or for the benefit of the Company by an existing Member acting in a partner capacity, or by a new Member acting in a partner capacity in anticipation of being a Member; provided that any adjustments described in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph shall be made only if the Managing Member reasonably determines that such adjustments are necessary to reflect the relative economic interests of the Members of the Company.

 

(c) The Gross Asset Value of any item of Company property distributed to any Member shall be adjusted immediately prior to such distribution to equal its fair market value (as reasonably determined by the Managing Member and taking Code Section 7701(g) into account).

 

(d) The Gross Asset Value of each item of Company property shall be increased (or decreased) to reflect any adjustments to the adjusted basis of such assets pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or Section 743(b), but only to the extent that such adjustments are taken into account in determining Capital Accounts pursuant to Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m) and subparagraph (f) of the definition of "Net Profit" and "Net Loss"; provided, however, that Gross Asset Values shall not be adjusted pursuant to this subparagraph (d) to the extent that an adjustment pursuant to subparagraph (b) is required in connection with a transaction that would otherwise result in an adjustment pursuant to this subparagraph (d).

(d) Gain or loss resulting from any disposition of Company property with respect to which gain or loss is recognized for federal income tax purposes shall be computed by reference to the Gross Asset Value of the property disposed of, notwithstanding that the adjusted tax basis of the property differs from its Gross Asset Value.

 

(e) If the Fair Market Value of any asset differs from its adjusted tax basis for federal income tax purposes, then the amount of depreciation, amortization or cost recovery deductions with respect to such asset shall, for purposes of determining Net Profit and Net Loss, be an amount which bears the same ratio to such Gross Asset Value as the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions bears to such adjusted tax basis (provided that if the federal income tax depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deduction is zero, then the Managing Member may use any reasonable method for purposes of determining depreciation, amortization or other cost recovery deductions in calculating Net Profit and Net Loss).

Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence shall be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Member pursuant thereto. The items to be so allocated shall be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(±)(6) and 1.704- 2(j)(2) of the Treasury Regulations.

(c) Qualified Income Offset. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Member unexpectedly receives any adjustments, allocations, or distributions described in Sections I.704- l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Treasury Regulations, items of income and gain shall be specially allocated to such Member in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Treasury Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of the Member as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (c) shall be made only if and to the extent that the Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in Section 5 of this Exhibit B have been tentatively made as if this Section were not in the Agreement.

 

(d) Gross Income Allocation. In the event any Member has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit, each such Member shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such excess as quickly as possible; provided, however, that an allocation pursuant to this Section (d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Member would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit in excess of such sum after all other allocations provided for in have been tentatively made as if Section (c) above and this Section (d) were not in the Agreement.

 

(e) Nonrecourse Deductions. Any Nonrecourse Deductions for any Fiscal Year or other period shall be specially allocated to the Members pro rata in proportion to their respective holdings of Tokens.

 

(f) Member Nonrecourse Deductions. Notwithstanding any other prov1s10n of this Agreement, any Member Nonrecourse Deductions shall be specially allocated to the Members who bear the economic risk of loss with respect to the Member Nonrecourse Debt to which such items are attributable in accordance with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i).

 

(g) Section754Adjustments. To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Company asset pursuant to Code Section 734(b) or 743(b) is required to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts shall be treated, as provided in Treasury Regulation Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(m), as an item of Net Profit (if the adjustment increases the basis of the asset) or Net Loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) and such Net Profit or Net Loss shall be specially allocated to the Members in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Treasury Regulations.

 

(h) The allocations set forth in paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), and (g) above (the "Regulatory Allocations") are intended to comply with certain requirements of the Treasury Regulations under Code Section 704. Not with standing any other provisions of Section 5 of this Exhibit B (other than the Regulatory Allocations), the Regulatory Allocations shall be taken into account in allocating Net Profits and Net Losses among Members so that, to the extent possible, the net amount of such allocations of Net Profits and Net Losses and other items and the Regulatory Allocations to each Member shall be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to such Member if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.

 

4. Curative Allocations. If the Managing Member determines, after consultation with counsel experienced in income tax matters, that the allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is not specified in Exhibit B (an ''unallocated item"), or that the allocation of any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit hereunder is clearly inconsistent with the Members' economic interests in the Company (determined by reference to the general principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704- 1(b) and the factors set forth in Treasury Regulation Section l.704-l(b)(3)(ii)) (a "misallocated item"), then the Managing Member may allocate such unallocated items, or reallocate such misallocated items, to reflect such economic interests: provided that no such allocation will be made without the prior consent of each Member that would be affected thereby (which consent no such Member may unreasonably withhold) and provided further that no such allocation shall have any material effect on the amounts distributable to any Member, including the amounts to be distributed upon the complete liquidation of the Company.

 

 
4

 

 

5. Tax Allocations.

 

(a) After giving effect to the allocations set forth in Section 3 of this ExhibitA, Net Profit, Net Loss and items of income, gain, deduction and loss of the Company for each Fiscal Year (or other period) shall be allocated among all Members who were Members during such Fiscal Year (or other period) in a manner that will result in the Capital Account balance for each Member (which balance may be positive or negative), after adjusting the Capital Account for all Capital Contributions and distributions and any special allocations required pursuant to this Agreement for the current and all prior taxable years (or other applicable period), being (as nearly as possible) equal to (x) the amount that would be distributed to the Member if the Company were to sell all of its assets at their current Gross Asset Value, pay all liabilities of the Company (limited, with respect any nonrecourse liabilities, to the value reflected in the Members' Capital Accounts for the assets securing such nonrecourse liabilities), and distribute the proceeds thereof in accordance with Section7.1 and Section 7.2, minus (y) the Member's share of Company Minimum Gain and Member Minimum Gain.

 

(b) All income, gains, losses, deductions and credits of the Company shall be allocated, for federal, state and local income tax purposes, among the Members in accordance with the allocation of such income, gains, losses, deductions and credits among the Members for computing their Capital Accounts, except that if any such allocation for tax purposes is not permitted by the Code or other applicable law, the subsequent income, gains, losses, deductions and credits shall be allocated among the Members for tax purposes, to the extent permitted by the Code and other applicable law, so as to reflect as nearly as possible the allocation set forth herein in computing their Capital Accounts. Each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit realized by the Company in any taxable year shall be allocated pro rata to the Members according to the amount of Net Profit or Net Loss, as the case may be, allocated to them in such year.

 

(c) In accordance with Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder, income, gain, loss, and deduction with respect to any property contributed to the capital of the Company shall, solely for tax purposes, be allocated among the Members so as to take account of the variation between the adjusted basis of such property to the Company for federal income tax purposes and its initial Gross Asset Value.

 

(d) In the event the Gross Asset Value of any Company asset is adjusted due to a revaluation of Company assets under Treasury Regulations Section l.704-l(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss and deduction with respect to such Company asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its Gross Asset Value in the same manner as under Code Section 704(c) and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

 

(e) Allocations of tax credit, tax credit recapture, and any items related thereto shall be allocated to the Members according to their interests in such items as determined by the Managing Member taking into account the principles of Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(ii).

 

(f) Allocations pursuant to Section 4 of this Exhibit Bare solely for purposes offederal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Member's Capital Account or share of Net Profits, Net Losses, distributions or other items pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement.

(a) Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify to the fullest extent authorized or permitted by applicable law any person (his or her heirs, executors and administrators) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed civil, criminal, administrative, arbitration, or investigative proceeding, including without limitation a proceeding by or in the right of the Corporation, by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation or, while serving as a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director or officer or in any other capacity for another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against all expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, penalties, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such proceeding if, with respect to the acts or omissions of such person, such person (i) acted in good faith, (ii) received no improper personal benefit, (iii) with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct was unlawful, and (iv) reasonably believed that the conduct was in the best interest of the Corporation (or if, at the Corporation's request, such person served for another organization, reasonably believed that the conduct was not opposed to the best interest of the Corporation). The termination of any proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction, or upon a plea of nolo contendere or its equivalent, shall not, of itself, create a presumption that the person did not satisfy the criteria of the preceding sentence.

 

The Corporation may indemnify any person who is or was an employee or agent of the Corporation, or any person who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as an employee or agent or in any other capacity of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, in the manner and to the extent that it shall indemnify any director or officer under this Section 6.

 

(b) Determination of Indemnification. Any indemnification under Section 6(a) (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Corporation only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstances because such person has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in Section 6(a). Such determination shall be made (i) by the Board of Directors by a majority of a quorum, not counting any directors who are at the time parties to the proceeding for determining either a majority or the presence of a quorum, (ii) if a quorum under clause (i) of this Section 6(b) cannot be obtained, by a majority of a committee or by a majority of a committee of the Board of Directors, consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time patties to the proceeding, duly designated to act in the matter by a majority of the full Board of Directors, including directors who are parties, (iii) by a special legal counsel, or (iv) as otherwise provided by the Delaware General Corporation Law.

 

(c) Right to Indemnification. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section 6, to the extent that a director or officer of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 6(a), or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, such person shall be indemnified against expenses (including attorney's fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection therewith.

 

 

 

 

(d) Advance of Expenses. Expenses incurred in defending a civil or criminal proceeding may be paid by the Corporation on behalf of a director, officer, employee or agent in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding as authorized by the Board of Directors in the specific case upon (i) receipt of written affirmation by the person of a good-faith belief that the applicable criteria for indemnification have been satisfied and a written undertaking by the person to repay all amounts so paid or reimbursed by the Corporation, if the ultimate determination is that the criteria for indemnification have not been satisfied, and (ii) after a determination that the facts then known to those making the determination would not preclude indemnification.

 

(e) Indemnification Not Exclusive. The indemnification provided by this Section 6 shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which any person seeking indemnification may be entitled under any law, any agreement, the Certificate of Incorporation, any vote of shareholders or disinterested directors or otherwise, both as to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

(f) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person's status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify such person against liability under the provisions of this Section 6.

 

(g) Continuity. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided for in this Section 6 shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person.

 

ARTICLE VIII. AMENDMENTS.

Form W-9 (Rev. 10-2018)

Page 2

 

 

 

 

By signing the filled-out form, you:

1.    Certify that the TIN you are giving is correct (or you are waiting for a number to be issued),

2     Certify that you are not subject to backup withholding, or

3.    Claim exemption from backup withholding if you are a U.S. exempt payee. If applicable, you are also certifying that as a U.S. person, your allocable share of any partnership income from a U S, trade or business is not subject to the withholding tax on foreign partners' share of effectively connected income, and 

4.    Certify that FATCA code(s) entered on this form (if any) indicating that you are exempt from the FATCA reporting, is correct, See What isFATCA reporting, later, for further information. 

Note: If you are a U.S. person and a requester gives you a form other than Form W-9 to request your TIN, you must use the requester's form if it is substantially similar to this Form W-9.

Definition of a U.S. person. For federal tax purposes, you are considered a US. person if you are:

•    An individual who is a U.S. citizen or U.S. resident alien; 

•    A partnership, corporation, company, or association created or organized in the United States or under the laws of the United States; 

•    An estate (other than a foreign estate); or 

•    A domestic trust (as defined in Regulations section 301.7701-7). 

Special rules for partnerships. Partnerships that conduct a trade or business in the United States are generally required to pay a withholding tax under section 1446 on any foreign partners' share of effectively connected taxable income from such business. Further, in certain cases where a Form W-9 has not been received, the rules under section 1446 require a partnership to presume that a partner is a foreign person, and pay the section 1446 withholding tax. Therefore, if you are a U.S. person that is a partner in a partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States, provide Form W-9 to the partnership to establish your

U.S. status and avoid section 1446 withholding on your share of partnership income.

In the cases below, the following person must give Form W-9 to the partnership for purposes of establishing its U.S. status and avoiding withholding on its allocable share of net income from the partnership conducting a trade or business in the United States.

•     In the case of a disregarded entity with a U.S. owner, the U.S. owner of the disregarded entity and not the entity; 

•    In the case of a granter trust with a U.S. granter or other U.S. owner, generally, the U.S. granter or other U.S. owner of the granter trust and not the trust; and 

•    In the case of a U.S. trust (other than a granter trust), the U.S. trust (other than a granter trust) and not the beneficiaries of the trust. 

Foreign person. If you are a foreign person or the U.S. branch of a foreign bank that has elected to be treated as a U.S. person, do not use Form W-9. Instead, use the appropriate Form W-8 or Form 8233 (see Pub. 515, Withholding of Tax on Nonresident Aliens and Foreign Entities).

Nonresident alien who becomes a resident alien. Generally, only a nonresident alien individual may use the terms of a tax treaty to reduce or eliminate U.S. tax on certain types of income. However, most tax treaties contain a provision known as a 'saving clause." Exceptions specified in the saving clause may permit an exemption from tax to continue for certain types of income even after the payee has otherwise become a U.S. resident alien for tax purposes.

11 you are a U.S. resident alien who is relying on an exception contained in the saving clause of a tax treaty to claim an exemption from U.S. tax on certain types of income, you must attach a statement to Fofm W-9 that specifies-the following five items.

1.       The treaty country. Generally, this must be the same treaty under which you claimed exemption from tax as a nonresident alien. 

2.       The treaty article addressing the income. 

3.       The article number (or location) in the tax treaty that contains the saving clause and its exceptions. 

4.       The type and amount of income that qualifies for the exemption from tax. 

Sufficient facts to justify the exemption from tax under the terms of the treaty article.

 

Example. Article 20 of the U S.-China income tax treaty allows an exemption from tax for scholarship income received by a Chinese student temporarily present in the United States. Under U S. law, this student will become a resident alien for tax purposes if his or her stay in the United States exceeds 5 calendar years However, paragraph 2 of the first Protocol to the U S -China treaty (dated April 30, 1984) allows the provisions of Article 20 to continue to apply even after the Chinese student becomes a resident alien of the United States. A Chinese student who qualifies for this exception (under paragraph 2 of the first protocol) and is relying on this exception to claim an exemption from tax on his or her scholarship or fellowship income would attach to Form W-9 a statement that includes the information described above to support that exemption.

If you are a nonresident alien or a foreign entity, give the requester the appropriate completed Form W-8 or Form 8233.

Backup Withholding

What is backup withholding? Persons making certain payments to you must under certain conditions withhold and pay to the IRS 24% of such payments. This is called "backup withholding." Payments that may be subject to backup withholding include interest, tax-exempt interest, dividends, broker and barter exchange transactions, rents, royalties, nonemployee pay, payments made in settlement of payment card and third party network transactions, and certain payments from fishing boat operators. Real estate transactions are not subject to backup withholding.

You will not be subject to backup withholding on payments you receive if you give the requester your correct TIN, make the proper certifications, and report all your taxable interest and dividends on your tax return.

Payments you receive will be subject to backup withholding if:

1.     You do not furnish your TIN to the requester,

 

2.     You do not certify your TIN when required (see the instructions for Part II for details),

 

3.     The IRS tells the requester that you furnished an incorrect TIN,

 

4.     The IRS tells you that you are subject to backup withholding because you did not report all your interest and dividends on your tax return (for reportable interest and dividends only), or

 

5.        You do not certify to the requester that you are not subject to backup withholding under 4 above (for reportable interest and dividend accounts opened after 1983 only).

Certain payees and payments are exempt from backup withholding. See Exempt payee code, later, and the separate Instructions for the Requester of Form W-9 for more information.

Also see Special rules for partnerships, earlier.

What is FATCA Reporting?

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) requires a participating foreign financial institution to report all United States account holders that are specified United States persons. Certain payees are exempt from FATCA reporting. See Exemption from FATCA reporting code, later, and the Instructions for the Requester of Form for more information.

Updating Your Information

You must provide updated information to any person to whom you claimed to be an exempt payee if you are no longer an exempt payee and anticipate receiving reportable payments in the future from this person. For example, you may need to provide updated information if you are a C corporation that elects to be an S corporation, or if you no longer are tax exempt. In addition, you must furnish a new Form W-9 if the name or TIN changes for the account; for example, if the granter of agrantor trust dies.

Penalties

Failure to furnish TIN. If you fail to furnish your correct TIN to a requester, you are subject to a penalty of $50 for each such failure unless your failure is due to reasonable cause and not to willful neglect.

Civil penalty for false information with respect to withholding. If you make a false statement with no reasonable basis that results in no backup withholding, you are subject to a $500 penalty

Criminal penalty for falsifying information. Willfully falsifying certifications or affirmations may subject you to criminal penalties including fines and/or imprisonment

Misuse of TINs. If the requester discloses or uses TINs in violation of federal law, the requester may be subject to civil and criminal penalties.

The following chart shows types of payments that may be exempt from backup withholding. The chart applies to the exempt payees listed above, 1 through 13

M-A tax exempt trust under a section 403(b) plan or section 457(g) plan

Note: You may wish to consult with the financial institution requesting this form to determine whether the FATCA code and/or exempt payee code should be completed

Line 5

Enter your address (number, street, and apartment or suite number). This is where the requester of this Form W-9 will mail your information returns. If this address differs from the one the requester already has on file, write NEW at the top. If a new address is provided, there is still a chance the old address will be used until the payor changes your address in their records

Line 6

Enter your city, state, and ZIP code

 

Part I. Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN)

Enter your TIN in the appropriate box. If you are a resident alien and you do not have and are not eligible to get an SSN, your TIN is your IRS individual taxpayer identification number (ITIN).

Enter it in the social security number box. If you do not have an ITIN, see How to get a TIN below.

If you are a sole proprietor and you have an EIN, you may enter either your SSN or EIN.

If you are a single-member LLC that is disregarded as an entity separate from its owner, enter the owner's SSN (or EIN, if the owner has one). Do not enter the disregarded entity's EIN. If the LLC is classified asa corporation or partnership, enter the entity's EIN.

Note: See What Name and Number To Give the Requester, later, for further clarification of name and TIN combinations.

How to get a TIN. If you do not have a TIN, apply for one immediately. To apply for an SSN, get Form SS-5, Application for a Social Security Card, from your local SSA office or get this form online at www.SSA.gov. You may also get this form by calling 1- 800-772-1213. Use Form W-7, Application for IRS Individual Taxpayer Identification Number, to apply for an ITIN, or Form SS-4, Application for Employer Identification Number, to apply for an EIN. You can apply for an EIN online by accessing the IRS website at www.irs.gov/Businesses and clicking on Employer Identification Number (EIN) under Starting a Business. Go to www.irs.gov/Forms to view, download, or print Form W-7 and/or Form SS-4. Or, you can go to www.irs.gov/OrderForms to place an order and have Form W-7 and/or SS-4 mailed to you within 10 business days_

If you are asked to complete Form W-9 but do not have a TIN, apply for a TIN and write "Applied For" in the space for the TIN, sign and date the form, and give it to the requester. For interest and dividend payments, and certain payments made with respect to readily tradable instruments, generally you will have 60 days to get a TIN and give it to the requester before you are subject to backup withholding on payments. The 60-day rule does not apply to other types of payments. You will be subject to backup withholding on all such payments until you provide your TIN to the requester_

Note: Entering "Applied For" means that you have already applied for a TIN or that you intend to apply for one soon.

Caution: A disregarded U.S. entity that has a foreign owner must use the appropriate Form W-8.

 

Part II. Certification

To establish to the withholding agent that you are a U.S. person, or resident alien, sign Form W-9. You may be requested to sign by the withholding agent even if item 1, 4, or 5 below indicates otherwise.

For a joint account, only the person whose TIN is shown in Part I should sign (when required). In the case of a disregarded entity, the person identified on line 1 must sign. Exempt payees, see Exempt payee code, earlier.

Secure Your Tax Records From Identity Theft

 

Identity theft occurs when someone uses your personal information such as your name, SSN, or other identifying information, without your permission, to commit fraud or other crimes. An identity thief may use your SSN to get a job or may file a tax return using your SSN to receive a refund.

 

To reduce your risk:

Protect your SSN,

Ensure your employer is protecting your SSN, and

Be careful when choosing a tax preparer.

 

If your tax records are affected by identity theft and you receive a notice from the IRS, respond right away to the name and phone number printed on the IRS notice or letter.

 

If your tax records are not currently affected by identity theft but you think you are at risk due to a lost or stolen purse or wallet, questionable credit card activity or credit report, contact the IRS Identity Theft Hotline at 1-800-908-4490 or submit Form 14039.

The Indemnitor shall immediately take control of the defense and investigation of such Action and shall employ counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indemnitee to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense. The Indemnitee’s failure to perform any obligations under this Section 12.3 will not relieve the Indemnitor of its obligations under this Section 12 except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it has been materially prejudiced as a result of such failure. The Indemnitee may participate in and observe the proceedings at its own cost and expense with counsel of its own choosing.

(a) at NCIT’s sole cost and expense, obtain the right for Licensee to continue to use the Services and NCIT Materials materially as contemplated by this Agreement;

 

(b) at NCIT’s sole cost and expense, modify or replace the Services and NCIT Materials, in whole or in part, to seek to make the Services and NCIT Materials (as so modified or replaced) non-infringing, while providing substantially equivalent features and functionality, in which case such modifications or replacements will constitute Services and NCIT Materials, as applicable, under this Agreement; or

 

(c) by written notice to Licensee, terminate this Agreement and require Licensee to immediately cease any use of and destroy or return all copies of the Services and NCIT Materials in its possession or under its control.

 

THIS SECTION 12 SETS FORTH LICENSEE’S SOLE REMEDIES AND NCIT’S SOLE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION FOR ANY ACTUAL, THREATENED OR ALLEGED CLAIMS THAT THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF (INCLUDING THE SERVICES AND NCIT MATERIALS) INFRINGES, MISAPPROPRIATES OR OTHERWISE VIOLATES ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT.

  EXHIBIT 6.8

 

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR AGREEMENT

 

This Transfer Agent and Registrar Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated as of the date set forth on the signature page hereto, by and between  Tirios Propco Series LLC, a Delaware LLC a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the jurisdiction set forth herein (“Corporation”), and VStock Transfer, LLC, a California limited liability company (“Transfer Agent”), is for the purpose of performing the services described herein.

 

RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Corporation desires that certain services be provided by the Transfer Agent with regard to the issuance, transfer and registration of certain securities of the Corporation;

 

WHEREAS, the Transfer Agent is engaged in the business of providing services for issuers of securities and seeks to provide such services to the Corporation; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to set forth the terms and conditions for the providing of services by the Transfer Agent to the Corporation.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

 

I. GENERAL APPOINTMENT OF TRANSFER AGENT; DOCUMENTS

 

 

a.

The Corporation hereby appoints the Transfer Agent as the sole transfer agent for the issuance, cancellation, transfer and registration of the securities of the Corporation set forth in the Preliminary Information Form annexed hereto and made a part hereof as Exhibit B (the “Securities”) and to perform such other related services and is authorized and directed to maintain records showing the name and address of, and the number of Securities issued to each holder of said Securities together with such other records as the Transfer Agent may deem necessary or advisable to discharge its duties as set forth herein.

 

 

 

 

b.

The Transfer Agent is authorized and directed to issue Securities of the Corporation from time to time upon receiving from the Corporation (i) written instructions as to the issuance from an authorized officer of the Corporation, and (ii) an opinion of counsel that (1) the Securities are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, (2) issuance of the Securities has been registered (stating effective date thereof) under the Securities Act of 1933 (as amended) (the “Act”) and the class of Securities represented by the Securities has been registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended), or, if exempt from registration, the basis of such exemption, (3) no order or consent of any governmental or regulatory authority other than that provided to the Transfer Agent is required in connection with the issuance of the Securities or, if no such order or consent is required, a statement to that effect. The opinion should also indicate whether it is necessary that the Securities bear a restrictive legend and the wording of the legend or a statement to the effect that all Securities to be issued are freely transferable upon presentation to the Transfer Agent for that purpose, and (iii) such further documents as the Transfer Agent may reasonably request.

 

 
1

 

 

 

 

c.

The Transfer Agent is further authorized and directed to make transfers of Securities from time to time upon the books of the Corporation as maintained by the Transfer Agent. Securities, in either certificated or book entry form (or other appropriate form of ownership), will be transferred or exchanged upon the surrender of the old Securities (or appropriate instructions in the case of noncertificated Securities) in a form reasonably deemed by the Transfer Agent to be properly endorsed for transfer and accompanied by such documents as the Transfer Agent may deem necessary to evidence the authority of the person making the transfer. The Transfer Agent reserves the right to refuse to transfer Securities until it has received reasonable assurance that each necessary endorsement is genuine and effective, that the transfer of the Securities is legally valid and genuine and that the requested transfer is otherwise in order. For that purpose, Transfer Agent may require an acceptable guaranty of the signature of the person signing and appropriate assurance of authority to do so. The Transfer Agent may rely upon the Uniform Commercial Code, applicable law or regulation, and generally accepted industry practice in effecting transfers, or in delaying or refusing to effect transfers. The Transfer Agent may delay or refuse to process any transfer that in its reasonable judgment appears improper or unauthorized. Upon a request for the transfer of a restricted item, the Transfer Agent may require an opinion of either presenter’s counsel or the Corporation’s counsel to process such transfer.

 

 

 

 

d.

The Transfer Agent may conclusively rely and act or refuse to act without further investigation upon any list, instruction, certification, authorization, stock certificate or other communication, including electronic communication, instrument or paper believed by it in good faith to be genuine and unaltered, and to have been signed, countersigned or executed by any duly authorized person or persons, or upon the instruction of any officer of the Corporation or the advice of counsel for the Corporation. The Transfer Agent may make any transfer or registration of ownership for such securities which is believed by it in good faith to have been duly authorized or may refuse to make any such transfer or registration if in good faith the Transfer Agent deems such refusal necessary in order to avoid any liability upon either the Corporation or itself. Corporation agrees that it shall not give Transfer Agent direction to take any action or refrain from taking any action, if implementing such direction would be a violation of applicable law or regulation. Corporation agrees that it shall not direct Transfer Agent to transfer any security if such security is subject to any restriction or prohibition on transfer to or from a securities intermediary in its capacity as such, and Transfer Agent shall be protected in refusing to effect any such transfer.

 

 

 

 

e.

When the Transfer Agent deems it expedient it may apply to the Corporation, or counsel for the Corporation, or to its own counsel for instructions and advice; that the Corporation will promptly furnish or will cause its counsel to furnish, and, for any action taken in accordance with such instructions or advice of the Corporation, or counsel for the Corporation, or to its own counsel, or in case such instructions and advice shall not be promptly furnished, the Corporation will indemnify and hold harmless the Transfer Agent from any and all liability, including attorney’s fees and court costs.

 

 
2

 

 

 

f.

The Corporation will at all times advise the Transfer Agent of any and all stop transfer notices or adverse claims lodged against Securities of the Corporation and further, will promptly notify the Transfer Agent when any such notices or claims have expired or been removed. The Transfer Agent is not otherwise responsible for stop transfer notices or adverse claims from either the Corporation or third parties unless it has received actual written notice. Notwithstanding, the Transfer Agent’s responsibility with respect to any such stop transfer notice or adverse claim is subject to the rights of the registered holder of the Securities in accordance with applicable law.

 

II. AUTHORIZED OFFICERS

 

 

a.

Specimen signatures of the officers of the Corporation authorized to sign the physical evidence of Securities, including any certificate together with any applicable specimen certificates, shall be provided to the Transfer Agent to be used by it. When any officer of the Corporation shall no longer be vested with the authority to sign evidence of Securities for the Corporation, a written notice thereof shall be given to the Transfer Agent and until receipt of such notice the Transfer Agent shall be fully protected and held harmless in recognizing and acting upon the evidence of Securities bearing the signature of such officer or any signature believed by it in good faith to be such genuine signature.

 

 

 

 

b.

The Transfer Agent shall not be charged with notice of any change in the officers of the Corporation until notice of such change shall be given in writing by the Corporation to the Transfer Agent.

 

 

 

 

c.

In the event any officer of the Corporation who shall have signed blank stock certificates or other evidence of Securities (or whose facsimile signature shall have been used) shall die, resign or be removed prior to the issuance of such certificates or other evidence of Securities, the Transfer Agent in its capacity as Transfer Agent or Registrar, may issue or register such stock certificates or other evidence of securities as the stock certificates or evidence of Securities of the Corporation, notwithstanding such death, resignation or removal, unless directed to the contrary by the Corporation in writing.

 

 

 

 

d.

The Transfer Agent shall be protected and held harmless in recognizing and acting upon any signature, written instructions, certificates, or other document of any authorized officer believed by it in good faith to be genuine.

 

III. RESPONSIBILITIES, INDEMNITIES AND COMPENSATION

 

 

a.

The Transfer Agent may conclusively and in good faith rely and act, or refuse to act, upon the records and information provided to it by the Corporation and its prior transfer agent or recordkeeper without independent review and shall have no responsibility or liability for the accuracy or inaccuracy of such records and information.

 

 
3

 

 

 

b.

The Corporation will indemnify, defend, protect and hold harmless the Transfer Agent and its managers, affiliates, agents, officers and employees (the “Indemnitees”) from and against any and all: losses, costs, claims, damages, suits, judgments, penalties, liabilities, and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, incurred or made, arising out of or in connection with any act or omission of a prior transfer agent of the Corporation or the performance of the Transfer Agent’s obligations under the provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, acting, or refusing to act, in reliance upon any signature, endorsement, assignment, certificate, order, request, notice, report, record, instructions or other instrument or document believed by the Transfer Agent in good faith to be valid, genuine and sufficient (the foregoing are referred to as “Indemnifiable Costs”); provided, however, such indemnification shall not apply to any such act or omission finally adjudicated to have been directly caused by the bad faith or gross negligence of the Transfer Agent. The Indemnitees shall be under no obligation to institute or defend any action, suit, or legal proceeding in connection herewith or to take any other action likely to involve the Indemnitees in expense, unless first indemnified to the Transfer Agent’s satisfaction. The indemnities provided by this paragraph shall survive the resignation or removal of the Transfer Agent or the termination of this Agreement. If the indemnification provisions of this Agreement are inadequate or unavailable for any reason, the Indemnitees shall be entitled to contribution from the Corporation and any third-party payors including insurers for all Indemnifiable Costs.

 

 

 

 

c.

Anything in the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall either party or its respective affiliates, agents, officers, directors, managers and employees be liable under or in connection with this Agreement for special, indirect, incidental, punitive, or consequential losses or damages of any kind whatsoever, including but not limited to lost profits, whether or not foreseeable, even if advised of the possibility thereof and regardless of the form of action in which such damages are sought and any liability of the Transfer Agent will be limited in the aggregate to the amount of fees paid by the Corporation hereunder during the preceding fiscal year.

 

 

 

 

d.

The Transfer Agent may, in connection with the services described in the Agreement, engage subcontractors, agents, co- transfer agents or attorneys-in-fact, provided the same shall have been selected with reasonable care. The Transfer Agent is authorized by the Corporation to execute all agreements, appoint agents or sub-agents and do all other acts deemed necessary to carry out the general purposes of this Agreement. The Corporation shall provide to the Transfer Agent any books, records, or memoranda which are required in defense of any claim which may arise in the performance of the Transfer Agent’s duties hereunder.

 

 
4

 

 

 

e.

The Corporation agrees that the Transfer Agent shall be paid fees for its services and reimbursed for expenses in accordance with the attached fee schedule (See attached Fee Schedule – Exhibit C) or such other fees for additional services that may not be set forth therein, which may be updated by the Transfer Agent from time to time. Requests for payment of fees and expenses shall be submitted by the Transfer Agent in the form of a written invoice at the beginning of each month for the services provided for the prior month. The Corporation shall make payment upon receipt of all invoices and all invoices shall be considered late if not paid in full by the last day of each month. In the event any payment if late, the Transfer Agent may immediately suspend the provision of services under this Agreement to the Corporation or any holder of the Securities.

 

 

 

 

f.

The Transfer Agent will not have any liability for failure to perform or delay in performing duties set forth herein if the failure or delay is due to an event of force majeure. An event of force majeure is an event or condition beyond the Transfer Agent’s control including, but not limited to acts of God, natural disaster, civil unrest, state of war, fire, power failure, equipment failure, act of terrorism, or similar events beyond the Transfer Agent’s control. The Transfer Agent will make reasonable efforts to minimize performance delays or disruptions in the event of such occurrences.

 

 

 

 

g.

Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed to give any person or entity other than the Transfer Agent and the Corporation, and their successors and assigns, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Agreement. The Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Transfer Agent and the Corporation.

 

IV. CONSENT TO USE OF NAME AND LOGO

 

 

 

Each party may disclose in regulatory filings, marketing materials and in other communications the fact Transfer Agent has been appointed pursuant to this Agreement.

V. UNCLAIMED PROPERTY AND LOST HOLDER ADMINISTRATION

As between the Recipient and Discloser, ownership of Confidential Data shall remain with the Discloser, and Recipient shall not take any ownership interest in or right to use the Confidential Data.

The Discloser will indemnify the Recipient for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Recipient in connection with determining the lawful release of the Confidential Data that is subject to a subpoena, summons or other legal process.

NCPS may terminate this Agreement effectively immediately: (a) upon a breach of this Agreement; (b) upon the occurrence of any event that could prevent NCPS from operating the PPEX ATS, including, without limitation, any loss or potential loss of regulatory authorization or license, or any change in Law; or (c) if NCPS determines, in its sole discretion, that the security or normal operation of any part of the systems or services of the PPEX ATS (or services, equipment, facilities used to support such systems or services) has been compromised and cannot be promptly cured.

 

5.2. The termination of this Agreement or an Authorized Contributor’s access to the PPEX Site or the PPEX ATS shall not relieve Company or such Authorized Contributors of their obligations arising from or relating to their activities in connection with this Agreement prior to such termination, in connection with any ongoing Trades of Company Securities or to pay any fees, costs or expenses.

15. Choice of Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution.

 

15.1. The provisions of governing law and jurisdiction in the Terms of Use are superseded by this Section 15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its choice of law, conflict of laws or “borrowing”, statutes, rules, principles and precedent; provided that the governing law for causes of action for violations of U.S. federal or state securities Law shall be governed by applicable U.S. federal or state securities Law. Both Parties irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in New York, New York.

 

15.2. Notwithstanding Section 15.1, the Parties agree that in the event an Action arises between NCPS and Company in connection with or as a result of the execution of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, such Actions shall be resolved through confidential arbitration by a panel of three independent arbitrators (each party to choose one arbitrator and the two so chosen to choose the third arbitrator), and the Parties agree to submit such Actions for resolution in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (unless otherwise required by FINRA rules to be conducted by FINRA and FINRA does not decline jurisdiction) in New York, New York within five days after receiving a written request from the other Party to do so. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the result of the arbitration proceeding shall be final and binding, and by agreeing to arbitration, each Party hereby waives its right to seek remedies in court.

 

15.3. Notwithstanding the above agreement to arbitrate, each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by a Party of any of its obligations in connection with this Agreement may cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages may not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy. Such remedies and any other remedies set forth in this Agreement are not exclusive and are cumulative in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise. In addition, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, enforce or enter judgment on the award entered in any arbitration proceeding under this Section 15.

 

15.4. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE COLLECTIVE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE NCPS PARTIES UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE PPEX ATS ACTIVITIES OR ITS OTHER SUBJECT MATTER, TO COMPANY, ANY OTHER PARTY OR THIRD PARTY, UNDER ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER ARISING OUT OF TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, INDEMNIFICATION, BREACH OF STATUTORY DUTY, BREACH OF WARRANTY, RESTITUTION OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER BROUGHT DIRECTLY OR AS A THIRD PARTY CLAIM, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID BY COMPANY TO AND RECEIVED BY NCPS DURING THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE DATE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE ACCRUAL OF THE ACTION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CAUSE OF ACTION COMPANY MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PPEX ATS ACTIVITIES OR ITS OTHER SUBJECT MATTER MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. None of the NCPS Parties shall be liable to Company or to anyone else for any special, exemplary, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages of any kind or for any costs of procurement of substitution of services or any lost profits, lost business, trading losses, loss of use of data or interruption of business or services arising out of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any breach of this Agreement or any services performed, regardless of the basis for liability.

 

15.5. Subject to Section 15.4, in any Action by which one Party either seeks to enforce this Agreement or seeks a declaration of any rights or obligations under this Agreement, the non-prevailing Party will pay the prevailing Party’s costs and expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees.

 

15.6. At NCPS’s or its affiliate’s determination, a breach under this Agreement by Company will constitute a default by Company or its affiliates under all other agreements any of them have then in effect with NCPS or its affiliates and vice versa, including, without limitation, the SSLA.

 

15.7. In connection with this Section 15, Company agrees, as follows:

 

(a) the Parties are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the arbitration forum in which an Action is filed pursuant to this Section 15; (b) arbitration awards are generally final and binding such that a Party’s ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is extremely limited; (c) the ability of the Parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings; (d) the arbitrators do not have to explain the reasons for their award, unless in an eligible case a joint request for an explained decision has been submitted by all parties to the panel at least 20 days prior to the first scheduled hearing date; (e) the panel of arbitrators may include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry; (f) the rules of some arbitration forums may impose time limits for bringing an Action in arbitration and in some cases an Action that is ineligible for arbitration may be brought in court; and (g) the rules of the arbitration forum in which the Action is filed, and any amendments thereto, shall be incorporated into this Agreement. NCPS shall provide Company with a copy of this pre-dispute arbitration clause or this Agreement or inform Company that NCPS does not have a copy thereof, within 10 business days of receipt of Company’s written request. Upon written request of Company, NCPS shall provide Company with the names of, and information on how to contact or obtain the rules of, all arbitration forums in which an Action may be filed under this Agreement.

 

15.8. To the full extent permitted by Law, no arbitration or other proceeding shall be joined with any other or decided on a class-action basis. No person or entity shall bring a putative or certified class action to arbitration, nor seek to enforce any pre-dispute arbitration agreement against any person or entity who has initiated in court a putative class action; or who is a Company of a putative class who has not opted out of the class with respect to any claims encompassed by the putative class action until: (a) the class certification is denied; (b) the class is decertified; or (c) Company is excluded from the class by the court. Such forbearance to enforce an agreement to arbitrate shall not constitute a waiver of any rights under this Agreement, except to the extent stated herein.

 

16. Notices; Consent to Electronic Communications. All notices, requests, consents, claims, demands, waivers and other communications in connection with this Agreement (“notices”) have binding legal effect only if in writing and addressed to a Party as set forth on the signature page hereto (or to such other address that such Party may designate from time to time in accordance with this Section 16).

In addition, Company consents to the receipt of records and notices electronically by email in all dealings with NCPS.

 

17. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any provision is invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

General Terms

 

 

Definitions

 

 

Services Terms
 

Welcome to Stripe!

 

This Stripe Services Agreement includes this introduction, the General Terms, Definitions, Services Terms, and incorporated documents and terms (“Agreement”) and forms a legal agreement between Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) and the entity or sole proprietor on whose behalf a Stripe account is created (“you” and “your”) to receive certain payment processing, data, technology and analytics, or other business services offered by Stripe and its Affiliates. This Agreement states the terms and conditions that apply to your use of the Services.

 

This Agreement is effective upon the date you first access or use the Services (“Effective Date”) and continues until you or Stripe terminates it (this period, the “Term”). Capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined inline are defined in the Definitions.

 

As referenced in Section 13 of the General Terms, any dispute between you and Stripe is subject to a class action waiver and must be resolved by individual binding arbitration. Please read the arbitration provision in this Agreement as it affects your rights under this Agreement.

 

General Terms

 

Last modified: August 22, 2022

 

You and Stripe agree as follows:

 

 
1

 

 

1. Your Stripe Account.

 

1.1 Eligibility.

 

Only businesses (including sole proprietors) and non-profit organizations located in the United States are eligible to apply for a Stripe Account and use the Services. Stripe and its Affiliates may provide Services to you or your Affiliates in other countries or regions under separate agreements. You and your Representative must not attempt to create a Stripe Account on behalf of or for the benefit of a user whose use of the Stripe services was suspended or terminated by Stripe, unless Stripe approves otherwise.

 

1.2 Business Representative.

 

You and your Representative individually affirm to Stripe that (a) your Representative is authorized to provide User Information on your behalf and to bind you to this Agreement; and (b) your Representative is an executive officer, senior manager or otherwise has significant responsibility for the control, management or direction of your business. Stripe may require you or your Representative to provide additional information or documentation demonstrating your Representative’s authority.

 

1.3 Sole Proprietors.

 

If you are a sole proprietor, you and your Representative also affirm that your Representative is personally responsible and liable for your use of the Services and your obligations to Customers, including payment of amounts you owe under this Agreement.

 

1.4 Age Requirements.

 

If you are a sole proprietor, and you are not old enough to enter into a contract on your own behalf (which is commonly but not always 18 years old), but you are 13 years old or older, your Representative must be your parent or legal guardian. If you are a legal entity that is owned, directly or indirectly, by an individual who is not old enough to enter into a contract on their own behalf, but the individual is 13 years old or older, your Representative must obtain the consent of either your board or an authorized officer. The approving board, authorized officer, parent or legal guardian is responsible to Stripe and is legally bound to this Agreement as if it had agreed to this Agreement itself. You must not use the Services if you are under 13 years of age.

 

 
2

 

 

2. Services and Support.

 

2.1 Services.

 

Stripe (and its Affiliates, as applicable) will make available to you the Services, including those described in the applicable Services Terms, and, if applicable, give you access to a Stripe Dashboard.

 

2.2 Services Terms; Order of Precedence.

 

The Services Terms contain specific terms governing the parties’ rights and obligations related to the Services described in those Services Terms. If there are no Services Terms for a particular Stripe service, then only these General Terms govern. By accessing or using a Service, you agree to comply with the applicable Services Terms. If any term in these General Terms conflicts with a term in any Services Terms or set of terms incorporated by reference into this Agreement, then unless terms of lower precedence expressly state to the contrary, the order of precedence is: (a) the Services Terms; (b) these General Terms; and (c) all terms incorporated by reference into this Agreement. Your access to or use of the Services may also be subject to additional terms to which you agree through the Stripe Dashboard.

 

2.3 Service Modifications and Updates.

 

Stripe may modify the Services and Stripe Technology at any time, including adding or removing functionality or imposing conditions on use of the Services. Stripe will notify you of material adverse changes in, deprecations to, or removal of functionality from, Services or Stripe Technology that you are using. Stripe is not obligated to provide any Updates. However, if Stripe makes an Update available, you must fully install the Update by the date or within the time period stated in Stripe’s notice; or, if there is no date or period stated in the notice, then no later than 30 days after the date of the notice.

 

2.4 Subcontracting.

 

Stripe may subcontract its obligations under this Agreement to third parties.

 

 
3

 

 

2.5 Services Restrictions.

 

You may only use the Services for business purposes. You must not, and must not enable or allow any third party to:

 

(a) use the Services for personal, family or household purposes;

 

(b) act as service bureau or pass-through agent for the Services with no added value to Customers;

 

(c) work around any of the technical limitations of the Services or enable functionality that is disabled or prohibited, or access or attempt to access non-public Stripe systems, programs, data, or services;

 

(d) except as Law permits, reverse engineer or attempt to reverse engineer the Services or Stripe Technology;

 

(e) use the Services to engage in any activity that is illegal, fraudulent, deceptive or harmful;

 

(f) perform or attempt to perform any action that interferes with the normal operation of the Services or affects other Stripe users’ use of Stripe services; or

 

(g) copy, reproduce, republish, upload, post, transmit, resell, or distribute in any way, any part of the Services, Documentation, or the Stripe Website except as permitted by Law.

 

2.6 Beta Services.

 

(a) Classification. Stripe may classify certain Stripe services or Stripe Technology, including a particular release or feature, as Beta. A Stripe service may be generally available in some circumstances (e.g., in some countries or regions) while still classified as Beta in other circumstances.

 

(b) Nature of Beta Services. By their nature, Beta Services may be feature-incomplete or contain bugs. Stripe may describe limitations that exist within a Beta Service; however, your reliance on the accuracy or completeness of these descriptions is at your own risk. You should not use Beta Services in a production environment until and unless you understand and accept the limitations and flaws that may be present in the Beta Services.

 

(c) Feedback. Unless Stripe otherwise agrees in writing, your use of Beta Services is confidential, and you must provide timely Feedback on the Beta Services in response to Stripe requests.

 

(d) Availability During Beta Period. Stripe may suspend or terminate your access to any Beta Services at any time.

 

 
4

 

 

2.7 Support.

 

Stripe will provide you with support to resolve general issues relating to your Stripe Account and your use of the Services through resources and documentation that Stripe makes available on the Stripe Website and in the Documentation. Stripe’s support is also available by contacting Stripe at contact us. Stripe is not responsible for providing support to Customers.

 

2.8 Third-Party Services.

 

Stripe may reference, enable you to access, or promote (including on the Stripe Website) Third-Party Services. These Third-Party Services are provided for your convenience only and Stripe does not approve, endorse, or recommend any Third-Party Services to you. Your access and use of any Third-Party Service is at your own risk and Stripe disclaims all responsibility and liability for your use of any Third-Party Service. Third-Party Services are not Services and are not governed by this Agreement or Stripe’s Privacy Policy. Your use of any Third-Party Service, including those linked from the Stripe Website, is subject to that Third-Party Service’s own terms of use and privacy policies (if any).

 

3. Information; Your Business.

 

3.1 User Information.

 

Upon Stripe’s request, you must provide User Information to Stripe in a form satisfactory to Stripe. You must keep the User Information in your Stripe Account current. You must promptly update your Stripe Account with any changes affecting you, the nature of your business activities, your Representative, beneficial owners, principals, or any other pertinent information. You must immediately notify Stripe, and provide to Stripe updated User Information, if (a) you experience or anticipate experiencing a Change of Control; (b) you experience or anticipate experiencing a material change in your business or financial condition, including if you experience or are likely to experience an Insolvency Proceeding; (c) the regulatory status of the business for which you are using the Services changes, including if it becomes subject, or no longer subject, to regulatory oversight; or (d) a Governmental Authority has notified you that you or your business is the subject of investigative action.

 

 
5

 

 

3.2 Information Retrieved by Stripe.

 

You authorize Stripe to retrieve information about you and your business from Stripe’s service providers and other third parties, including credit reporting agencies, banking partners and information bureaus, and you authorize and direct those third parties to compile and provide that information to Stripe. This information may include your, or your Representative’s, name, addresses, credit history, banking relationships, and financial history.

 

4. Services Fees; Taxes.

 

4.1 Services Fees.

 

The Fees are stated on the Stripe Pricing Page, unless you and Stripe otherwise agree in writing. Stripe may revise the Fees at any time. If Stripe revises the Fees for a Service that you are currently using, Stripe will notify you at least 30 days before the revised Fees apply to you.

 

4.2 Collection of Fees and Other Amounts.

 

You must pay, or ensure that Stripe is able to collect, Fees and other amounts you owe under this Agreement when due. Stripe may deduct, recoup or setoff Fees and other amounts you owe under this Agreement, or under any other agreements you have with Stripe or any of its Affiliates, from your Stripe Account balance, or invoice you for those amounts. If you fail to pay invoiced amounts when due, if your Stripe Account balance is negative or does not contain funds sufficient to pay amounts that you owe under this Agreement, or under any other agreement with Stripe or any of its Affiliates, or if Stripe is unable to collect amounts due from your Stripe Account balance, then Stripe may, to the extent Law permits, deduct, recoup or setoff those amounts from: (a) if established and applicable, each Reserve; (b) funds payable by Stripe or its Affiliate to you or your Affiliate; (c) if established, each User Affiliate Reserve; (d) each User Bank Account; and (e) the Stripe account balance of each Stripe account that Stripe determines, acting reasonably, is associated with you or your Affiliate. If the currency of the amount being deducted is different from the currency of the amount you owe, Stripe may deduct, recoup or setoff an amount equal to the amount owed (using Stripe’s conversion rate) together with any fees Stripe incurs in making the conversion.

 

 
6

 

 

4.3 Debit Authorization.

 

Without limiting Section 4.2, you authorize Stripe to debit each User Bank Account without separate notice, and according to the applicable User Bank Account Debit Authorization, to collect amounts you owe under this Agreement. If Stripe is unable to collect those amounts by debiting a User Bank Account, then you immediately grant to Stripe a new, original authorization to debit each User Bank Account without notice and according to the applicable User Bank Account Debit Authorization. Stripe may rely on this authorization to make one or more attempts to collect all or a subset of the amounts owed. Your authorization under this Section 4.3 will remain in full force and effect until (a) all of your Stripe Accounts are closed; or (b) all fees and other amounts you owe under this Agreement are paid, whichever occurs later. If applicable debit scheme authorization rules grant you the right to revoke your debit authorization, then to the extent Law permits, you waive that right.

 

4.4 Taxes.

 

Stripe’s fees exclude all Taxes, except as the Stripe Pricing Page states to the contrary. You have sole responsibility and liability for:

 

(a) determining which, if any, Taxes or fees apply to the sale of your products and services, acceptance of donations, or payments you make or receive in connection with your use of the Services; and

 

(b) assessing, collecting, reporting and remitting Taxes for your business. If Stripe is required to withhold any Taxes, Stripe may deduct those Taxes from amounts otherwise owed to you and pay those Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. If you are exempt from paying, or are otherwise eligible to pay a reduced rate on, those Taxes, you may provide to Stripe an original certificate that satisfies applicable legal requirements attesting to your tax-exempt status or reduced rate eligibility, in which case Stripe will not deduct the Taxes covered by the certificate. You must provide accurate information regarding your tax affairs as Stripe reasonably requests, and must promptly notify Stripe if any information that Stripe prepopulates is inaccurate or incomplete. Stripe may send documents to you and taxing authorities for transactions processed using the Services. Specifically, Law may require Stripe to file periodic informational returns with taxing authorities related to your use of the Services. Stripe may send tax-related information electronically to you.

 

 
7

 

 

5. User Bank Accounts; Funds.

 

5.1 User Bank Accounts; Prohibition on Grant or Assignment.

 

You must designate at least one User Bank Account in connection with the Services. Stripe may debit and credit a User Bank Account as described in this Agreement. You must not grant or assign to any third party any lien on or interest in funds that may be owed to you under this Agreement until the funds are deposited into a User Bank Account.

 

5.2 Investment of Funds.

 

To the extent Law and the applicable Financial Services Terms permit, Stripe and its Affiliates may invest the funds that they hold into liquid investments. Stripe or its applicable Affiliate owns the earnings from these investments. You irrevocably assign to Stripe or its applicable Affiliate all rights you have (if any) to earnings from these investments.

 

5.3 Regulated Money Transmission; Stripe Status.

 

Certain Services involve regulated money transmission under U.S. Law. To the extent that your use of the Services involves money transmission or other regulated services under U.S. Law, Stripe’s Affiliate, SPC, provides those regulated Services, and the SPC terms located on or accessible from the Stripe Legal Page will apply to you, unless the applicable Services Terms specify otherwise. Stripe is not a bank, and does not accept deposits.

 

 
8

 

 

5.4 Dormant Accounts.

 

If you leave any funds dormant in a Stripe Account and you do not instruct Stripe on where to send them, Stripe may deem the funds abandoned by you and deliver them to the appropriate Governmental Authority. However, if Law requires, Stripe will attempt to notify you before doing so.

 

6. Termination; Suspension; Survival.

 

6.1 Termination.

 

(a) Your Termination. You may terminate this Agreement at any time by closing your Stripe Account. To do so, you must open the account information tab in your account settings, select “close my account” and stop using the Services. If after termination you use the Services again, this Agreement will apply with an Effective Date that is the date on which you first use the Services again.

 

(b) Stripe Termination. Stripe may terminate this Agreement (or any part) or close your Stripe Account at any time for any or no reason (including if any event listed in Sections 6.2(a)–(i) of these General Terms occurs) by notifying you. In addition, Stripe may terminate this Agreement (or relevant part) for cause if Stripe exercises its right to suspend Services (including under Section 6.2 of these General Terms) and does not reinstate the suspended Services within 30 days.

 

(c) Termination for Material Breach. A party may terminate this Agreement immediately upon notice to the other party if the other party materially breaches this Agreement, and if capable of cure, does not cure the breach within 10 days after receiving notice specifying the breach. If the material breach affects only certain Services, the non-breaching party may choose to terminate only the affected Services.

 

(d) Effect on Other Agreements. Unless stated to the contrary, termination of this Agreement will not affect any other agreement between the parties or their Affiliates.

 

 
9

(b) a Governmental Authority or a Financial Partner requires or directs Stripe to do so;

 

(c) you do not update in a timely manner your implementation of the Services or Stripe Technology to the latest production version Stripe recommends or requires;

6.3 Survival.

 

The following will survive termination of this Agreement:

 

(a) provisions that by their nature are intended to survive termination (including Sections 4, 7.2, 9.4, 11, 12 and 13 of these General Terms); and

 

(b) provisions that allocate risk, or limit or exclude a party’s liability, to the extent necessary to ensure that a party’s potential liability for acts and omissions that occur during the Term remains unchanged after this Agreement terminates.

Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Stripe grants you a worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, royalty-free license during the Term to access the Documentation, and access and use the Stripe Technology, as long as your access and use is (a) solely as necessary to use the Services; (b) solely for your business purposes; and (c) in compliance with this Agreement and the Documentation.

Accordingly, Stripe and its Affiliates may use those Marks:

 

(a) on Stripe webpages and apps that identify Stripe’s customers;

 

(b) in Stripe sales/marketing materials and communications; and

 

(c) in connection with promotional activities to which the parties agree in writing.

11

 

 

7.4 No Joint Development; Reservation of Rights.

 

Any joint development between the parties will require and be subject to a separate agreement between the parties. Nothing in this Agreement assigns or transfers ownership of any IP Rights to the other party. All rights (including IP Rights) not expressly granted in this Agreement are reserved.

 

8. Privacy and Data Use.

 

8.1 Privacy Policies.

 

Each party will make available a Privacy Policy that complies with Law. Stripe’s Privacy Policy explains how and for what purposes Stripe collects, uses, retains, discloses and safeguards the Personal Data you provide to Stripe.

8.6 Use of Fraud Signals.

 

If Stripe provides you with information regarding the possibility or likelihood that a transaction may be fraudulent or that an individual cannot be verified, Stripe may incorporate your subsequent actions and inactions into Stripe’s fraud and verification model, for the purpose of identifying future potential fraud.

You must prevent any Credential Compromise, and otherwise ensure that your Stripe Account is not used or modified by anyone other than you and your representatives. If a Credential Compromise occurs, you must promptly notify and cooperate with Stripe, including by providing information that Stripe requests.

You must notify Stripe immediately if you become aware of an unauthorized acquisition, modification, disclosure, access to, or loss of Personal Data on your systems.

 

9.5 Audit Rights.

Stripe may share with Financial Services Partners any report the auditor issues.

11. Indemnity.

 

11.1 Stripe IP Infringement.

 

(a) Defense and Indemnification. Stripe will defend you against any IP Claim and indemnify you against all IP Claim Losses.

 

(b) Limitations. Stripe’s obligations in this Section 11.1 do not apply if the allegations do not specify that the Stripe Technology, Services, or Mark of Stripe or its Affiliate is the basis of the IP Claim, or to the extent the IP Claim or IP Claim Losses arise out of:

You must reasonably assist Stripe in defending the IP Claim.

 

(d) Other Stripe Actions. Stripe may in its discretion and at no additional expense to you:

 

(i) modify the Stripe Technology or Services so that they are no longer claimed to infringe or misappropriate IP Rights of a third party;

 

(ii) replace the affected Stripe Technology or Services with a non-infringing alternative;

 

(iii) obtain a license for you to continue to use the affected Stripe Technology, Services, or Mark; or

 

 
16

11.2 User Indemnification.

 

(a) Defense. You will defend the Stripe Parties against any Claim made against any of the Stripe Parties to the extent arising out of or relating to:

 

(i) your breach of any of your representations, warranties or obligations under this Agreement;

 

(ii) your use of the Services, including use of Personal Data;

 

(iii) an allegation that any of the Marks you license to Stripe, or your Content, infringes on or misappropriates the rights, including IP Rights, of the third party making the Claim; or

 

(iv) a User Party’s negligence, willful misconduct or fraud.

 

(b) Indemnification. You will indemnify the Stripe Parties against all Stripe Losses arising out of or relating to Claims described in this Section 11.2.

 

12. Disclaimer and Limitations on Liability.

 

The following disclaimer and limitations will apply notwithstanding the failure of the essential purpose of any limited remedy.

 

12.1 Disclaimer.

(c) Subject to the disclaimers and limitations of liability stated in this Agreement, the appointed arbitrators may award monetary damages and any other remedies allowed by the laws of the State of California. In making a determination, the arbitrator will not have the authority to modify any term of this Agreement. The arbitrator will deliver a reasoned, written decision with respect to the dispute to each party, who will promptly act in accordance with the arbitrator’s decision.
