WAKE COUNTY

This MUTUAL RELEASE AND SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is made by and between COMSTOCK HOMES OF RALEIGH, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Plaintiff”), PROVIDENCE DEVELOPMENT OF RALEIGH, LLC, a North limited liability company (“Defendant”) and MANNING FULTON & SKINNER, PA, a North Carolina professional association (“Escrow Agent”). The parties to this Agreement other than Escrow Agent may be collectively referred to herein as “the parties.”

WHEREAS, the parties executed an Agreement for the purchase and Sale of Subdivision Lots and Option Agreement dated December 16, 2005, as amended (“Contract”), for the sale and purchase of approximately 80 townhome lots and 148 single family lots in the subdivision known as Providence (the “Development”);

WHEREAS, Providence of Raleigh Subdivision is a planned community of more than 20 residential lots created within this State on or after January 1, 1999, and is therefore a “planned community” as that term is defined in Chapter 47F of the North Carolina General Statutes, commonly known as the “North Carolina Planned Community Act” (hereinafter, the “Planned Community Act” or the “Act”);

WHEREAS, Defendant is the Declarant under that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Providence of Raleigh Subdivision recorded in Book 12053, page 2419, Wake County Registry, as supplemented by that certain Annexation Declaration recorded in Book 12451, page 2197, re-recorded in Book 12623, page 2662, both of the Wake County Registry (the “Subdivision Declaration”) and that certain Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions for Providence Subdivision, Phase 2 Townhouses recorded in Book 12451, page 2202, Wake County Registry (the “Townhouse Declaration”);

WHEREAS, a dispute has arisen between the parties pertaining to the Contract and other action taken by the parties as described in Civil Action No. 07 CVS 15940 filed in Wake County, North Carolina Superior Court (the “Lawsuit”) and in the related Civil Action No. 08 SP 6183 filed in Wake County, North Carolina Superior Court (the “TOA Foreclosure Action”);

WHEREAS, the Initial Escrow Deposit posted by Plaintiff under the Contract has been released by the Escrow Agent to Defendant;

WHEREAS, Section 47F-2-117(a) of the Act provides that the Subdivision Declaration and the Townhouse Declaration may be amended by affirmative vote or written agreement signed by lot owners of lots to which at least sixty-seven percent (67%) of the votes in each respective association are allocated, or any larger majority the declaration for such association specifies;

WHEREAS, Article IX, Section 4 of the Subdivision Declaration and Article IX, Section 4 of the Townhouse Declaration provide respectively that each such declaration may be amended during the first twenty-year period by an instrument signed by not less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the lot owners subject to such declaration;


WHEREAS, at this time, Plaintiff is the owner of fifty-two (52) lots and Defendant is the owner of thirty-one (31) lots, and together the parties are the owners of eighty-three (83) of the one hundred and seven (107) lots subject to the Subdivision Declaration, and Plaintiff is the owner of eighteen (18) of the eighteen (18) townhouse lots subject to the Townhouse Declaration;

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement wish to revise and amend the Subdivision Declaration and/or the Townhouse Declaration (and, to the extent necessary to accomplish the same results, the Bylaws for each association), in the following respects: (1) to allow vinyl siding to be used within the Development ; (2) to change the side yard setbacks as provided in the Subdivision Declaration to conform with those provided in the Raleigh City Code; (3) to remove the blanket prohibition of wooden fences, to increase the maximum height limitation for fences to six feet (6.0’), and to allow the Architectural Review Board the discretion to approve all proposed fences on a case-by-case basis; and (4) to allow the regular association dues payable by the Declarant under the Declarations to accrue and become payable by Declarant at the time of closing on the sale of any lot to a builder and to allow the regular association dues payable by any builder to accrue and become payable by any builder at the time of closing of a completed dwelling to the owner-occupant; and (5) to clarify that the Declarant has the right to make amendments to the Subdivision Declaration and the Townhouse Declaration, in its sole discretion, without the approval of the lot owners, in the course of exercising the Declarant’s “development rights” as provided in the Subdivision Declaration and the Townhouse Declaration and the Act;

WHEREAS, the parties to this Agreement desire to settle all controversies between them;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants set forth below and other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto represent and agree:

1. Nature of Agreement. This Agreement is a mutual release and settlement agreement that completely resolves the Lawsuit, the TOA Foreclosure Action, and any other disputes between and among Plaintiff and Defendant.

2. Exchanges of Consideration. In consideration for the releases and other obligations contained in this Agreement, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged:

(a) Plaintiff waives all claims for reimbursement of costs incurred incidental to construction of an amenity package consisting of an entrance monument and associated landscaping and irrigation at the entrance to the Development;

(b) Defendant, as Declarant under the recorded Subdivision Declaration and Townhouse Declaration applicable to single-family lots and townhouse lots for the Development (together, the “Covenants”), shall continue to be responsible to fund any shortfall on the operations of the HOA or TOA;

 

- 2 -


(c) Upon execution of this Agreement, Escrow Agent shall close a transaction and three escrow accounts established on behalf of the parties, as further described below, with the following material terms and on the following conditions (“the Closing”):

(1) The Defendant shall: (i) pay all fines, penalties, costs, liens, claims and other remedies arising from or relating to the TOA Foreclosure Action and any and all alleged violations of the Covenants by Plaintiff, whether known or unknown, occurring prior to the date of this Agreement in consideration for Plaintiff’s waiver of any claims, whether known or unknown, arising from Defendant and any affiliates’ alleged acts and omissions as Declarant or other role as controlling party of the TOA; (ii) provide Plaintiff with the current budget, income statements and balance sheets for the HOA at Closing; (iii) release all claims of lien against any property to be conveyed by Plaintiff pursuant to this Agreement in a form acceptable for filing; (iv) irrevocably approve Plaintiff’s current house plans in existing and future homes in the Development as requested and shown in the letters attached hereto as Exhibit E; and (v) deposit $19,450.00 in escrow with the Escrow Agent representing the difference in values of the lots being conveyed by each party (“Reconciliation Payment”), which is further described below, provided, however, that all closing costs incurred by Plaintiff in connection with the closing contemplated herein shall be paid out of the escrowed Reconciliation Payment. It is further provided that any portion of the escrowed Reconciliation Payment that remains after payment of Plaintiff’s closing costs shall remain in escrow until such time as Plaintiff is able to convey to Defendant, or Defendant’s assign(s), Single Family Lots 2 and 3. At such time as Plaintiff conveys Single Family Lots 2 and 3 to Defendant, or Defendant’s assign(s), the balance of the escrowed Reconciliation Payment shall be paid by Escrow Agent to Plaintiff. However, in the event Plaintiff has not conveyed Single Family Lots 2 and 3 to Defendant, or Defendant’s assign(s), for any reason, within six (6) months of the full execution of this Agreement, the balance of the escrowed Reconciliation Payment shall be released by Escrow Agent back to Defendant;

(2) The parties acknowledge and agree that Plaintiff shall no longer be obligated to pay assessments for its townhome pads as stipulated in the Covenants and are hereby deemed satisfied and released. Plaintiff and Defendant agree to sign and record an amendment to the Covenants in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, revising and amending the Covenants as set forth therein and hereinabove;

(3) Defendant shall upon execution of this Agreement convey to Plaintiff, through means of special warranty deeds, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit C, Single Family Lots 49, 71, 64, 65, 66, 67, 81, 82, 83 and 84 within the Development (the “Defendant’s Conveyed Properties”), which are more particularly identified on Exhibit A hereto. The special warranty deeds shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent pending completion of all conditions precedent to the Closing as described in this Paragraph 2(c) (“the Comstock Escrow Deposit”). In addition, at such time as Plaintiff conveys Single Family Lots 2 and 3 to Defendant, or Defendant’s assign, Defendant shall convey to Plaintiff, through means of special warranty deeds, Single Family Lots 50 and 51;

(4) Defendant shall, upon execution of this Agreement, deposit $16,757.34 in escrow with the Escrow Agent representing Plaintiff’s accrued, but currently unpaid, TOA and HOA dues in the amounts of $15,340.74 and $1,416.60, respectively, as required under the Covenants. Defendant shall instruct the Escrow Agent to disburse $15,340.74 to the TOA and $1,416.60 to the HOA at the Closing described herein.

(5) Plaintiff shall upon execution of this Agreement, convey to Defendant, through means of special warranty deeds, the form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit D, the 18 townhouse pads known as Townhome Lots 161, 162, 163, 164, 165, 166, 167, 168, 169, 170, 171, 172, 173, 174, 175, 176, 177 and 178 which Plaintiff owns and are part of the Development (the “Plaintiff’s Conveyed Properties”), which are more particularly identified on Exhibit A hereto. The special warranty deeds shall be held in escrow by Escrow Agent pending completion of all conditions precedent to the Closing as described in this Paragraph 2(c) (“the PDR Escrow Deposit”). In addition, at such time as Plaintiff is able to obtain a release of all liens on Single Family Lots 2 and 3 from its lender, Plaintiff shall convey Single Family Lots 2 and 3 to Defendant, at which time the provisions of paragraph 2(c)(1) concerning the Reconciliation Payment shall control. In the event Plaintiff has not conveyed Single Family Lots 2 and 3 to Defendant, or Defendant’s assign(s), for any reason, within six (6) months of the full execution of this Agreement, the balance of the escrowed Reconciliation Payment shall be released by Escrow Agent back to Defendant and the parties shall have no further liability to each other;

(6) The Escrow Agent shall receive releases from the parties suitable for the recordation of all encumbrances, including lien releases and releases of deeds of trust in favor of Wachovia, SunTrust or any other lender on Plaintiff’s Conveyed Properties or Defendant’s Conveyed Properties;

(7) The parties shall, upon execution of this Agreement, execute a written termination of any remaining option or obligation to purchase or obligation to sell lots under the Contract, provided, however, the parties expressly acknowledge that Plaintiff will continue to attempt to obtain a release of liens from its lender on Single Family Lots 2 and 3 for purposes of conveying said lots to Defendant, or Defendant’s assign, in exchange for Single Family Lots 50 and 51 (as well as receipt of the balance of the escrowed Reconciliation Payment);

- 4 -


(10) The releases contemplated by this Agreement shall be effective upon full execution of this Agreement;

(11) The parties agree and specifically direct the Escrow Agent to withhold from recordation of any deeds and making any disbursements of funds or otherwise closing the contemplated transaction until such time that all deliverables, including, but not limited to, deeds, releases, and covenant modifications, are in the Escrow Agent’s possession; and

(12) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any third party, including any creditors, lenders or obligees of Plaintiff or Defendant, takes title to or exercises its right to foreclose on any land owned by Plaintiff or Defendant in the Providence Subdivision that is to be conveyed to Plaintiff or Defendant under the terms of this Agreement, each party shall forfeit all rights to the other’s deposits with the Escrow Agent under the Agreement, and each party’s Escrow Deposit shall revert back and be delivered to the party that tendered the Escrow Deposit under this Agreement;

(13) The parties understand that agree that timely completion of the Closing is of the essence. The parties acknowledge that each other will incur substantial damages if the Closing does not occur as provided herein, and that such damages are not readily ascertainable. If any party to this Agreement fails to provide Escrow Agent with any of the necessary documents, monies or information within thirty (30) days as required by Paragraph 2(c) herein, the non-breaching party shall be entitled to liquidated damages of $25,000, and the parties agree that such amount is sufficient for damages that would occur, as well as any additional remedies being sought by the parties in the Lawsuit. Upon any such failure described herein, Escrow Agent shall disburse and deliver the HOA Escrow Deposit, Comstock Escrow Deposit, and PDR Escrow Deposit back to the party that tendered such escrow deposit under this Agreement;

(14) The parties shall execute and deliver to Escrow Agent a settlement statement acknowledging the Closing and the actions to occur therein contemporaneous with the execution of this Agreement;

(15) Except as otherwise stated herein, the parties shall bear their own costs and expenses incidental to the matters addressed by this Agreement; and

(16) The parties shall cooperate with each other on development requirements, provided such assistance shall be at no cost to the other. By way of example and not limitation, the parties expect to cooperate in accommodating the reasonable requests of the other concerning easements, utilities, and construction items.

(d) Upon Escrow Agent’s receipt of the items required in Paragraph 2(c) herein, including all documents, as necessary, executed and in recordable form, Escrow Agent is authorized and directed to effectuate the Closing contemplated herein.
