aforementioned Deed of Trust subsequent to June 28, 2008 in the event this sum has not been repaid by

Development Fee through June 28, 2008, the amount to be repaid Eagle County shall include interest at
the rate of 6% per annum. The interest may be repaid in monetary form or by the transfer of the right to
Eagle County Deed Restricted Units. The determination of what form the payment of interest shall be
{00136896.DOC / 1}
made is at the sole and absolute discretion of Eagle County.

pertaining to the modular housing to be utilized on the project. The specifications for those modular units

discretion, exercised reasonably and in good faith, with the quality, deliverability and dependability of the
product, it shall be entitled to withdraw from this agreement and have those monies it has paid to Stratton
Flats returned to it with interest on or before June 28, 2008. The return of these funds shall be secured by
the Deed of Trust referred to herein.
14. Event of Default. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute
an "Event of Default' under this Agreement:
(a) Stratton Flats' abandonment of its obligations to perform the Project and marketing

continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after notice thereof from Eagle County to Stratton
Flats.
(b) Stratton Flats' failure to observe any other term or obligation of this Agreement, and
such failure or neglect either cannot be remedied or, if it can be remedied, it continues unremedied for a
period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof from Eagle County to Stratton Flats.
(b) Any failure to pay any principal or interest under the Loan when the same shall
become due and payable or the failure to pay any other sum due under the Loan, if any, or any of the
Loan Documents when the same shall become due and payable (subject to applicable notice and cure
periods as set forth in the Loan Documents).
(d) Any warranty, representation, covenant or statement contained in this Agreement, or
made or fumished to Eagle County by or on behalf of Stratton Flats that shall be or shall prove to have
been false when made or fumished.
(e) The filing by Stratton Flats (or against Stratton Flats to which Stratton Flats acquiesces
or that is not dismissed within forty-five (45) days after the filing thereof) of any proceeding under the
federal bankruptcy laws now or hereafter existing or any other similar statute now or hereafter in effect;
the entry of an order for relief under such laws with respect to Stratton Flats; or the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, custodian or conservator of all or any part of the assets of Stratton Flats.
(f) The insolvency of Stratton Flats; or the execution by Stratton Flats of an assignment

mature.
(g) The failure of Stratton Flats to close the Loan on or before June 28, 2008.
15. Remedies. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time while such Event of
Default is continuing, Eagle County may: 1) sue Stratton Flats for damages and/or specific performance;
2) Commence foreclosure proceedings as provided in paragraph 13, once the event of default remains
uncured for 30 days with the exception of that default set forth in paragraph 14 (g) hereof. That default
shall be cured within 10 days or foreclosure proceedings may be commenced.
3) Alternatively, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, subject to notice and cure
periods provided for herein, and to the exclusion of any other rights and remedies of Eagle County, Eagle
County shall be entitled to a "Fee Recapture" from Stratton Flats based upon the following formula. The
Development Fee Recapture amount shall equal the amount of Eagle County's $4,500,000.00
{00136896.DOC / 1} 9
Development Fee, accruing interest at a rate of six percent (6%) per annum, compounded daily, which
shall be reduced from time to time upon the sale of a Unit by an amount which is equal to the difference
between the "Free Market Sales Price" for such Unit-type as set forth in the 2008 Budget and the "Deed
Restricted Sales Price" for such Unit-type as set forth in the 2008 Budget. The Development Fee
Recapture amount shall be paid by Stratton Flats to Eagle County not later than forty-five (45) days from
the date of Eagle County's written demand for payment of the Contract Fee Recapture amount, and
Stratton Flats may elect to either pay the Development Fee Recapture amount to Eagle County in cash or
other good funds, or by delivering to Eagle County marketable title to Units in the Project. In the event that
Stratton Flats elects to pay the Development Fee Recapture amount to Eagle County by delivering
marketable title to Units, the number of Units to be conveyed shall be equal to the amount of the
Development Fee Recapture, divided by Forty Five Thousand Dollars and no/100 ($45,000.00).
16. Stratton Flats' Default Under Loan: Workout. Upon the occurrence of an event of default
under the Loan and the Loan Documents, which event of default remains uncured for 10 days, Eagle
County may negotiate directly with CoBiz Bank for Eagle County's acquisition of the Property and
assumption and performance of the Project. In the event that Eagle County and CoBiz Bank successfully
negotiate Eagle County's acquisition of the Property and assumption and pertormance of the Project, upon
30 days' written notice of such fact from Eagle County and CoBiz Bank, Stratton Flats shall convey title to
the Property, together with all assignable permits and approvals. Eagle County will act in good faith and
take its best efforts to release Scott B. Russell as a guarantor on the loan.

in this Agreement is intended or shall be construed in any manner or under any circumstances whatsoever
as creating or establishing the relationship of co-partners, or creating or establishing the relationship of a
joint venture, between Eagle County and Stratton Flats or as constituting Stratton Flats as the agent or
representative of the County for any purpose or in any manner whatsoever.
18. Pa +Lment or Performance on Saturday. Sunday or Holiday. Whenever the provisions of this
Agreement call for any payment or the performance of any act on or by a date that is not a Business Day,
including the expiration date of any cure periods provided herein, then such payment or such performance
shall be required on or by the immediately succeeding Business Day. For the purposes of this
Agreement, the term °Business Dav" shall mean a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday in
the State of Colorado.
