2.2 Purchase Price. The aggregate purchase price for the Epic Companies Membership Interests will be an amount (the “Purchase Price”) equal to $8,386,850, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 2.7.

2.3 Closing. The consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Closing”) will occur no later than two Business Days after the last of the conditions to Closing set forth in Article 7 have been satisfied or waived (other than conditions which, by their nature, are to be satisfied on the Closing Date) via the remote exchange of documents and signatures. The

date on which the Closing occurs is the “Closing Date”. The Closing will be deemed to occur as of 12:00 a.m. Mountain Standard Time on the Closing Date.

2.4 Closing Payments. At Closing, Buyer will purchase the Epic Companies Membership Interests by making the following payments (the “Closing Cash Payment”) to or for the benefit of Sellers:

(a) Buyer will pay to Sellers an amount equal to:

(i) the Purchase Price, less

(ii) the Holdback Amount and the Trails Delay Additional Holdback Amount.

(b) Buyer will retain $1,000,000 (the “Holdback Amount”) to satisfy the indemnity obligations of Sellers described in Article 8 and any adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 2.7.

(a) Within 180 days following the Closing (the “Adjustment Period”), Buyer will prepare and deliver to Sellers’ Representative a statement (the “Final Closing Schedule”) setting forth Buyer’s calculation of the Net Book Value and the components thereof. The Final Closing Schedule will be prepared on the same basis as the Estimated Closing Schedule. Subject to customary review, upon final determination of the amounts set forth in Final Closing Schedule, the Purchase Price will be adjusted upwards or downwards to reflect any changes in the Net Book Value in the Final Closing Schedule, but in no event will any premium component in the Purchase Price be adjusted pursuant to such procedure.

(b) During the 20 Business Day period following receipt of the Final Closing Schedule (the “Review Period”), Buyer will provide Sellers’ Representative with access to the working papers relating to the Final Closing Schedule. The Final Closing Schedule

will become final and binding at the end of the Review Period unless prior to the end of the Review Period Sellers’ Representative delivers to Buyer written notice of its disagreement (a “Notice of Disagreement”) specifying the nature and amount of any disputed item. Sellers will be deemed to have agreed with all items and amounts in the Final Closing Schedule not specifically referenced in the Notice of Disagreement, and such items and amounts will not be subject to review pursuant to Section 2.7(c). A Notice of Disagreement may reference only disagreements based on miscoding of expenses, mathematical errors or based on amounts reflected on the Final Closing Schedule not being calculated in accordance with this Section 2.7.

The Parties will authorize the Independent Accounting Firm to resolve only those items remaining in dispute in a Notice of Disagreement within the range of the difference between Buyer’s position and Sellers’ Representative’s position with respect thereto.

Each Seller is the type which is permissible to own stock in an S corporation, as

All Taxes due, owing or payable by, with respect to, or attributable to each Epic Company (whether or not shown on any Tax Return) for any period preceding the Closing Date have been timely paid. No claim has ever been made by an authority in a jurisdiction where an Epic Company (or Seller or ultimate beneficial owner of an Epic Company) does not file Tax Returns that such Epic Company (or Person) is or may be subject to taxation in that jurisdiction or by that authority.

(d) No material deficiencies for Taxes have been asserted or assessed by any Governmental Authority in writing against any Epic Company that has not been fully satisfied by payment, settled in full, or fully withdrawn, and there is no pending Action with respect to Taxes of any Epic Company.

To the Knowledge of Sellers, no Epic Company or employee of any Epic Company reasonably expects any authority to assess any additional Tax for any period prior to the Closing with respect to any Epic Company.

(e) There is no Tax-related Action concerning or respecting any Epic Company; and no Epic Company or Seller has been notified in writing of any intent of any Governmental Authority to commence any such Action.

Tax Matters

(i) Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of Sellers and each Epic Company, and Taxes for which each Seller and each Epic Company are liable, in each instance for all Pre-Closing Tax Periods, and the portion of any Straddle Period (determined below) which portion ends on the Closing Date, including any Taxes arising as a result of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement;

(ii) breaches of any representation, warranty, or covenant relating to or with respect to Taxes which includes but is not limited to the provisions set forth in Section 4.16 and this Article 6;

(iii) Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of any Person (other than the Epic Companies) imposed on any Seller or any Epic Company as a transferee or successor by contract or pursuant to any Law, rule or regulation, which Taxes relate to an event or transaction occurring on or before the Closing Date;

(iv) Taxes of any member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined or unitary group of which any Epic Company (or any predecessor) is or was a member on or prior to the Closing Date, including pursuant to Treas. Reg. §1.1502-6 or any analogous or similar state, local or foreign law or regulation;

(v) reductions of Tax assets, attributes, or benefits of any Epic Company as a result of any action or inaction involving any Seller or, prior to the Closing, any Epic Company; and

(vi) (1) any Taxes (including but not limited to those arising under Code §1374) resulting from a §338(h)(10) Election; and (2) any Taxes (e.g., any reduction of Tax asset, attribution, or benefit) if a §338(h)(10) Election is unable to be made for or with respect to any Epic Company in connection with the transactions contemplated in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the amount of any indemnification payment made pursuant to this Agreement will be increased such that after the payee of such payment pays or is subject to tax on or respecting the total amount of the indemnification payment, the amount of the indemnification payment remaining after the payment or withholding of such tax is equal to the amount of the Losses for which the indemnification payment is made.

6.2 Timing and Treatment of Payments. Payments by any Seller of any amounts due under this Article 6 will be made upon reasonable request by Buyer. Any indemnification payments made under this Article 6 will be treated by the Parties on their Tax Returns, and for all Tax purposes, as an adjustment to the Purchase Price.

6.3 Straddle Period. Whenever it is necessary to determine the amount of Taxes (or the non-payment thereof) of any Epic Company for a Straddle Period, the determination of Taxes for the portion of the Straddle Period (1) beginning prior to the Closing Date and ending on or before the Closing Date, and (2) beginning the day after the Closing Date, will be determined:

(a) in the case of Taxes that are either (i) based upon or related to income, receipts, sales, use, payroll, or similar matters, (ii) imposed in connection with any distribution, sale or other transfer or assignment of property, or (iii) imposed in connection with any other transaction or deemed transaction, by assuming that the applicable Epic Company had a taxable year or period which ended at the end of the Closing Date and there was a closing of the books of such Epic Company as of such date, except that exemptions, allowances or deductions that are calculated on an annual basis (e.g., depreciation deductions), shall be apportioned on a time basis as contemplated in subsection (b) below; and

(b) in the case of Taxes not described in subsection (a) that are imposed on a periodic basis and measured by the level of any item, shall be deemed to be the amount of such Taxes (including any minimum) for the entire period (or, in the case of such Taxes determined on an arrears basis, the amount of such Taxes for the immediately preceding period) multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of calendar days in the period determined in subsection (a) above and the denominator of which is the number of calendar days in the entire Straddle Period. In the case of any Tax based upon or measured by capital (including net worth or long-term debt) or intangibles, any amount thereof required to be allocated under this subsection shall be computed by reference to the level of such items on the Closing Date. All determinations necessary to effect the foregoing allocations will be made in a manner reasonably determined by Buyer. The Parties will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, elect to close, as of the end of the Closing Date, any taxable period of each Epic Company that would otherwise be a Straddle Period.

Each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return shall be prepared in a manner consistent with such Epic Company’s historic practice. Sellers will provide Buyer with a copy of each Pre-Closing Income Tax Return at least 30 days prior to the due date and filing of such Tax Return for Buyer’s review and comment, and Seller will accept and incorporate any reasonable comments of Buyer into such Tax Return prior to such Tax Return being filed. All Tax Returns for each Epic Company, other than Pre-Closing Income Tax Returns, will be prepared and filed by Buyer.

(b) Sellers will not (directly or indirectly), without the prior written consent of Buyer, (i) make, change, or rescind any Tax election, (ii), other than as contemplated in Section 6.4(a), file, amend, or refile any Tax Return for any Epic Company, or (iii) take any position in any Tax Return, take any action, omit to take any action, or enter into any transaction, in each instance, that would have the effect of increasing the Taxes or Tax liability of Buyer (or, after the Closing, any Epic Company), or reduce the Tax assets, attributes, or benefits of Buyer (or, after the Closing, any Epic Company), in each instance when compared to the Taxes and Tax assets, attributes, and benefits that Buyer reasonably anticipates following the closing of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, including the making of a §338(h)(10) Election respecting the acquisitions contemplated in this Agreement (as more fully addressed in Section 6.9). Buyer (and, after the Closing, each Epic Company) will have no Liability for any Tax resulting from any action of any Seller (or, prior to the Closing, any Epic Company), and Sellers agree to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer (and, after the Closing Date, each Epic Company) against any such Tax or reduction of any Tax asset, attribute, or benefit as contemplated in this Section 6.4. In addition, Sellers’ Representative will consider in good faith any request by Buyer to amend or extend the statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Returns of any Epic Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period if Buyer believes it would be reasonable or prudent to so amend or extend. Sellers will not, without the prior written consent of Buyer, amend, or cause any Epic Company to amend, any Tax Return of any Epic Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period, or take any action that would have the effect of extending the statute of limitations with respect to any Tax Returns of any Epic Company relating to a Pre-Closing Tax Period or Straddle Period.

6.5 Tax Audits, Claims and Contests.

(a) If notice of any Action with respect to Taxes of the Company (a “Tax Claim”) is received by any Party (the “Notified Party”) for which another Party may reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to this Agreement then the Notified Party will promptly notify such other Party in writing of such Tax Claim; provided that the failure of the

Notified Party to give the other party such prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve such party of its obligations under this Section 6.5 or otherwise except to the extent that the other Party is materially prejudiced thereby.

(b) With respect to a Tax Claim relating to a Pre-Closing Income Tax Return (defined above), Sellers’ Representative will control such Tax Claim, provided that if such Tax Claim, or the resolution thereof, could reasonably be expected to impact Buyer or any Epic Company after the Closing, then Sellers’s Representative will (i) reasonably, diligently and actively pursue the defense or settlement of such Tax Claim, (ii) permit Buyer to participate at its expense in all aspects of such Tax Claim, (iii) keep Buyer fully informed regarding the status and progress of such Tax Claim, (iv) provide to Buyer any written communications with any Tax Authority to the extent related to such Tax Claim, (v) not settle such claim without the prior written consent of Buyer, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed, and (vi) attest in writing to Buyer that Sellers are obligated to indemnify Buyer (and, after the Closing, each Epic Company) for all Losses resulting from such Tax Claim. If Sellers’ Representative does not assume the defense of any such Tax Claim, then Buyer may defend the same in such manner as it may deem appropriate. Buyer shall control all other Tax Claims and the settlement and resolution thereof.

6.6 Cooperation on Tax Matters. Buyer, each Epic Company, and Sellers will cooperate fully, as and to the extent reasonably requested by the other Parties, in connection with the filing of Tax Returns and any audit, litigation, or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation will include the retention and (upon any other Party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making employees available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder. Buyer, each Epic Company, and Sellers will retain all books and records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to each Epic Company relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by any Party, any extensions thereof) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any taxing authority; and Sellers’ Representative will give Buyer reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying, or discarding any such books and records and, if Buyer so requests, will allow Buyer to take possession of such books and records. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event will Sellers’ Representative or any Seller be entitled to review or otherwise have access to any Tax Return, or information related thereto, of any Epic Company for any period commencing after the Closing Date, or of Buyer for any period.

6.7 Transfer and Similar Taxes. All transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration and other such Taxes and fees, together with all conveyance fees, recording charges and other fees and charges, and including any penalties and interest thereon (collectively the “Transfer Taxes”), whether imposed on the Buyer, Sellers, or any Epic Company, incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement will be paid by Sellers when due. To the extent customarily, or required to be, filed by Seller, Buyer, or an Epic Company then such Party will file, or cause to be filed, all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to all such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by applicable law, the other Parties will, and

shall cause their respective Affiliates to, join in the execution of any such Tax Returns and other documentation. The Party preparing and filing such Tax Returns will permit the other Parties to review and comment on such Tax Returns prior to filing. All Taxes contemplated in this Section 6.7 will be treated as arising on or prior to the Closing Date, and in each instance during the Pre-Closing Tax Period.

6.8 Overlap. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Tax indemnification obligations of Sellers are not subject to any threshold requirement relating to the amount to be reimbursed or any ceiling on the maximum amount subject to indemnification, and Buyer (and any Affiliate of Buyer) will not be treated as having assumed the risk of any Taxes by reason of the closing of the transaction or by reason of any knowledge that Buyer had or should have had about Sellers’ or any Epic Company’s Tax obligations, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary.

6.9 Section 338(h)(10).

(a) At Buyer’s option, Sellers and each Epic Company will join with Buyer in making a timely election pursuant to Code Section 338(h)(10) (such election together with any corresponding or similar election under state or local law, collectively referred to as a “§338(h)(10) Election”) with respect to the purchase and sale of each Epic Companies Membership Interests, in each instance as determined by Buyer. Sellers will pay any Tax attributable to the making of the §338(h)(10) Election and Sellers will indemnify Buyer and the Epic Companies against any adverse consequences arising out of any failure to pay any such Taxes. For the avoidance of doubt, any Taxes (including but not limited to those arising under Code §1374) resulting from a §338(h)(10) Election will be the responsibility of Sellers; and neither Buyer nor any Epic Company will be liable for any such Tax, and if, and to the extent that, any such Tax is paid by an Epic Company or Buyer, then Sellers will pay an amount to Buyer (or such Epic Company) so as to make Buyer and such Epic Company whole.

(b) If a §338(h)(10) Election is made, then Buyer, Sellers, Sellers’ Representative and each applicable Epic Company will cooperate with Buyer with respect to the timely filing of any §338 Forms. In such a case, within 90 days following the Closing Date, Buyer will prepare IRS Form 8023 and submit the form to the applicable Seller for such Seller’s execution, which shall not be unreasonably conditioned, delayed, or withheld. Except as required by a final determination with any tax authority, the Parties will report, and will cause their respective Affiliates and Representatives to report, the transfers under this Agreement consistent with the §338(h)(10) Election and will not take, or cause to be taken, any action in connection with the filing of any Tax Return on behalf of the Parties or their Affiliates or otherwise that would be inconsistent with or prejudice the §338(h)(10) Elections, and will take all steps necessary to obtain comparable treatment, where applicable, for state income Tax purposes.

(c) No later than 30 days after the determination the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 2.7, Buyer will provide Sellers’ Representative a schedule (the “Purchase Price Allocation Schedule”) setting forth Buyer’s proposed allocation of the Purchase

Price among each Epic Company’s assets as of the Closing (and covenants contemplated in this Agreement), grouped in a manner as contemplated in Code Sections 338 and 1060, and the Treasury Regulations promulgated under each. Sellers’ Representative shall review and either confirm agreement to the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule in writing, or otherwise provide a written response detailing any disagreement with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule. Buyer, Sellers, and each Epic Company, shall work in good faith to achieve a mutually agreeable Purchase Price Allocation Schedule that conforms to the requirements set forth herein; provided, however that if such parties cannot so agree, then each party may file such party’s Tax Returns (including any §338 Form) in a manner as reasonably determined by such party. If the Parties agree, in writing as to the detail of the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, Sellers, Buyer, and each Epic Company covenant to the other that (i) such Party shall not, absent mutual written agreement of the other, challenge or dispute the allocations set forth in the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, (ii) such Party will file all Tax Returns in a manner consistent with the Purchase Price Allocation Schedule, and (iii) such Party will not take any position inconsistent therewith in any Tax Return, refund claim, litigation, or otherwise. If pursuant to this Agreement, the amount allocated to any asset or asset class is increased or decreased after the filing of any applicable §338 Form, then the Parties shall timely file a supplement to the applicable §338 Form in a manner consistent with this Agreement, Code §§338 and 1060, and the Treasury Regulations thereunder.

6.10 Survival. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the obligations of the Parties under this Article 6 are unconditional and absolute, are not limited, are not subject to a deductible, threshold, cap, or similar concept, and will remain in effect until 90 days after the expiration of all applicable statutes of limitation, and shall survive any death, corporate reorganization, dissolution, or liquidation of the Sellers, Buyer, or any Epic Company.

6.11 Retention of Records. The Parties will and will cause the Epic Companies and their respective Representatives to preserve all information, records or documents relating to liabilities for Taxes of the Epic Companies until six months after the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations (including extensions thereof) with respect to the assessment of such Taxes, provided that no Party may dispose of any of the foregoing items without first offering such items to the other Parties.

following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All covenants and agreements of the Parties herein (other than those in Article 6, which are subject to Article 6, and this Article 8, which will survive indefinitely) will survive the Closing for a period of 60 months or for the period explicitly specified therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims asserted in good faith with reasonable specificity (to the extent known at such time) and in writing by notice from the non-breaching party to the breaching party prior to the expiration date of the applicable survival period will not be barred by the expiration of the relevant representation or warranty and such claims will survive until finally resolved.

8.2 Indemnification By Sellers. Subject to the remainder of this Article 8, Sellers and, solely for purposes of this Article 8, Epic Homes at Leyden Rock, LLC, will, subject to the Basket and the Cap, jointly and severally indemnify and defend Buyer and Buyer’s Affiliates (including after Closing the Epic Companies) and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Buyer Indemnitees”) against, and will hold each of them harmless from and against, and pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Buyer Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Sellers in this Agreement (other than in respect of 4.16 (Taxes), for which the sole remedy for any such inaccuracy in or breach thereof is pursuant to Article 6), as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except representations and warranties that address matters as of a specified date, the breach of which will be determined as of that specified date);

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Seller under this Agreement (other than any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article 6, for which the sole remedy for any such inaccuracy in or breach thereof is pursuant to Article 6) that is not cured within 15 days of Sellers’ receipt of written notice from Buyer detailing the nature of the breach, provided however, the cure period shall be extended for any curable breach that cannot be cured within such 15 day cure period, conditional upon Sellers’ making good faith effort to cure such breach;

(d) any Transaction Expenses charged to the Epic Companies that were not paid on or before the Closing Date;

(e) the existence of the PPP Loan (including without limitation any Losses of Buyer’s Tax credits) as of the Closing Date or any failure of Sellers or, prior to the Closing, the Epic Companies, to comply with the requirements of the CARES Act, the Small Business Act and other regulatory guidance applicable to the PPP Loan in applying for, calculating the permitted amount of, receiving and using the proceeds of the PPP Loan, and in applying for and receiving the forgiveness of the PPP Loan; and

(f) Agreed liquidated damages arising from delays in the ability to obtain building permits for homes on lots within the Trails at Crowfoot community owned by Epic Trails (the “Trails Delay Liquidated Damages”).

(i) The Trails Delay Liquidated Damages amount shall be calculated based on each month that each lot on the schedule shown on Exhibit C is delayed from starting construction as contemplated on Exhibit C as a result of Epic Trails inability to pull a building permit for such lot due to the Building Permit Condition not being satisfied (“Building Permit Delay”), and in such case, the Seller shall owe (i) $3,000 per delayed lot for each full calendar month such lot is delayed, and (ii) with respect to any delay over a partial calendar month, $100 per delayed lot for each calendar day during such partial calendar month (collectively, (the “Per Month Amount”).

(ii) Notwithstanding Section 8.2(f)(i), for the first two months of a Building Permit Delay (the “Grace Period”) no Per Month Amounts shall be accrued by Buyer. If at any time during such Grace Period, the Building Permit Condition has been satisfied, no Trails Delay Liquidated Damages will be payable by Sellers. If at the end of such Grace Period the Building Permit Condition has not been satisfied, the Per Month Amounts for each delayed lot shall begin to accrue and be owed by Seller. The first payment of Per Month Amounts for delayed lots shall be paid by the tenth day of the fourth month following the initial existence of a Building Permit Delay and thereafter shall continue to be paid in accordance with Section 8.2(f)(i). For the avoidance of doubt, the Per Month Amount for all lots delayed during and after the Grace Period of a Building Permit Delay shall be calculated commencing with the beginning of the third month in accordance with Section 8.2(f)(i).

(iii) The Per Month Amounts, if any, shall first be satisfied from the Trails Delay Additional Holdback Amount, next from any remaining Holdback Amount, and next payable in the same manner as any other indemnity obligation of Seller under Article 8. The parties hereto expressly agree and acknowledge that Buyer’s actual damages arising from Epic Trails’ inability to pull a building permit due to the Building Permit Condition not being satisfied would be extremely difficult or impracticable to ascertain, and that the Per Month Amounts represent the parties’ reasonable estimate of such damages. The parties also agree that the Per Month Amounts are a proper liquidated damages amount and not a penalty

In administering Pre-Closing Construction Claims, Buyer will use reasonable commercial efforts, generally consistent with the manner in which Buyer and its Affiliates have administered their own claims in the past, which includes out-of-pocket costs and expenses and in-house overhead allocation and in-house warranty costs, provided, however, Buyer will have no exposure to Sellers for the manner in which Buyer administers the Excluded Construction Claims. Pre-Closing Construction Claims that (i) exceed the warranty reserve reflected in the Final Closing Schedule and (ii) are not otherwise reimbursed under an applicable insurance policy will be indemnified by Sellers pursuant to Section 8.2(c).

8.3 Indemnification By Buyer. Subject to the remainder of this Article 8, Buyer will indemnify and defend each Seller and each of Seller’s Affiliates and their respective Representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”) against, and hold each of them harmless from and against, and pay and reimburse each of them for, any and all Losses incurred or sustained by, or imposed upon, the Seller Indemnitees based upon, arising out of, with respect to or by reason of:

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties of Buyer in this Agreement as of the date such representation or warranty was made or as if such representation or warranty was made on and as of the Closing Date (except representations and warranties that address matters as of a specified date, the breach of which will be determined as of that specified date); or

(b) any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or obligation of Buyer under this Agreement (other than any breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article 6, for which the sole remedy for any such inaccuracy in or breach thereof is pursuant to Article 6) that is not cured within 15 days of Buyer’s receipt of written notice from Seller detailing the nature of the breach, provided however, the cure period shall be extended for any curable breach that cannot be cured within such 15 day cure period, conditional upon Buyer’s making good faith effort to cure such breach.

(d) any Losses incurred by Seller Indemnitees in their capacity as a former equity holder of the Epic Companies to the extent arising solely from the post-Closing operations of Buyer and the Epic Companies; provided that this indemnity shall not extend to any Losses arising from or in connection with willful misconduct, fraud or gross negligence perpetrated by any Seller Indemnitee.

8.4 Certain Limitations. The indemnification provided for in Sections 8.2 and 8.3 are subject to the following limitations:

(a) Seller Indemnification Limits.

(i) Basket. Sellers (and Epic Homes at Leyden Rock, LLC) will not be liable to the Buyer Indemnitees under Section 8.2(a) until the aggregate amount of all Losses in respect of indemnification under Section 8.2(a) exceeds $50,000 (the “Basket”), in which event Sellers (and Epic Homes at Leyden Rock, LLC) will be required to pay or be liable for all such Losses in excess of the Basket.

If the Indemnifying Party does not assume the defense of the Action, the Indemnified Party may, but is not obligated to, defend the Action as it may deem appropriate, including settling the Action, after giving notice of it to the Indemnifying Party, on such terms as the Indemnified Party deems appropriate and no action taken by the Indemnified Party in accordance with such defense and settlement will relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations herein with respect to any damages resulting therefrom. The Indemnifying Party may not settle any Action without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent (which consent may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(b) Tax Claims. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the control of any Action in respect of Taxes of the Epic Companies (including, but not limited to, any such claim in respect of a breach of the representations and warranties in Section 4.16 (Taxes) or any breach or violation of or failure to fully perform any covenant, agreement, undertaking or obligation in Article 6 is governed exclusively by Article 6.

(b) One half of the then remaining Holdback Amount will be released to Sellers’ Representative on August 31, 2021 and any remainder of the Holdback Amount that has not been used to satisfy Seller’s indemnification obligations under this Article 8 or is the subject of a good faith claim for indemnification by a Buyer Indemnitee made in accordance with this Article 8 will be released to Sellers’ Representative on August 31, 2022.

Upon a change in control of Buyer, any remainder of the Holdback Amount and Trails Delay Additional Holdback Amount will accelerate and become due and payable to Sellers’ Representative upon the change in control of Buyer.

8.7 Tax Treatment of Indemnification Payments. All indemnification payments made under this Agreement will be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for Tax purposes, unless otherwise required by Law.

8.8 Effect of Investigation. The representations, warranties and covenants of an Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification with respect thereto will not be affected or deemed waived by reason of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Party (including by any of its Representatives).

8.9 Other Rights and Remedies Not Affected. The indemnification rights under this Article 8 are independent of, and in addition to, any other rights and remedies the Parties may have at Law or in equity or otherwise for any failure to fulfill any covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder

waiving. No waiver by any Party will operate or be construed as a waiver in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver.

(b) ANY PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, OR WITH RESPECT TO, THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED BY ANY COURT IN RESPECT THEREOF SHALL BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS LOCATED IN DENVER COUNTY, COLORADO (THE “DESIGNATED COURTS”), AND THE PARTIES ACCEPT THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE DESIGNATED COURTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING. EACH PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY JUDGMENT ENTERED BY ANY OF THE DESIGNATED COURTS AND FURTHER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN THE DESIGNATED COURTS HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM.

(c) EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION 10.11.

waives any defense that a remedy at Law would be adequate in any action for specific performance or injunctive relief hereunder.
