construction and marketing of the Project, the Venturers may provide loans to
the Venture to fund such deficiencies, which loans shall be made in accordance
with the provisions hereof and shall be repaid as provided in Section 5.3(a)
hereof. Loans by any Venturer to the Venture shall not be considered Capital

who has not been admitted to the Venture as a Venturer shall only have the right
to receive the share of profits, losses, tax credits and distributions of the
Venture to which the assigning Venturer would have been entitled with respect to
the Venture Interest (or a portion thereof) so assigned and shall have no right
to require any information or
13
accounting of the Venture's transactions or finances or to inspect Venture
books, or to exercise any powers or other rights including voting and consent
rights, incidental to ownership of a Venture Interest. Admission of an Assignee

such person all rights and powers, and subject such person to all duties and all
obligations thereafter arising, of a Venturer.

the principals of each of the Venturers;
(b) The Assignee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this
Agreement;
(c) The Assignee executes any and all documents, including an amendment
to this Agreement, required to effectuate or evidence its admission to the
Venture;
(d) The Venture has received an opinion of counsel to the effect that
the contemplated Transfer and admission of the Assignee as a Venturer will not
cause the termination of the Venture for federal income tax purposes or cause
the Venture not to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes
or cause any other materially adverse impact to the Venture or any Venturer;
(e) The Assignee reimburses the Venture for all reasonable costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorney's fees) incurred in connection with the
Transfer and admission;
(f) The Assignee shall have delivered to the Venture, in writing, the
consent or waiver of the applicable parties to any note, mortgage, loan
agreement, contract or similar instrument or document to which the Venture is a
party and as to which the proposed Transfer may be a violation, event of default
under, or give rise to a right of acceleration; and
(g) The Assignee is not a minor or legal incompetent.
7.4 BLIND OPTION. (a) Without regard to any restrictions contained in
this Agreement or any other agreements between the Venture and third parties,
the Venturers shall each have the right (the Venturer exercising such right as
hereinafter set forth being referred to as the "Offeror") to purchase all, but
not less than all, of the Venture Interest of the other
14
Venturer (the "Offeree") at any time that is at least eighteen (18) months after
the date hereof by delivering written notice of its election to do so (the
"Triggering Notice") setting forth (i) its offer to purchase the Offeree's
Venture Interest, (ii) the value at which the Offeror values the Venture's
assets after the assumed satisfaction of all Venture obligations so such assets
are free and clear of all liabilities (the "Assumed Net Asset Value"), (iii) the
amount ("Offeree Payment") that would be distributed to the Offeree as a final
distribution if all assets of the Venture were sold on the Purchase Date, such
sale resulted in proceeds to the Venture equal to the Assumed Net Asset Value,
and the proceeds were distributed among the Venturers in liquidation without any
reserve, in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (iv) a closing
date for the purchase (the "Purchase Date"), which shall be no later than one
hundred fifty (150) days, and no less than one hundred twenty (120) days after
the date of the Triggering Notice, (v) the amount ("Offeror Payment") that would
be paid to the Offeror as the final distribution the Offeror would receive in
such a liquidation, and (vi) the calculations made by the Offeror in concluding
that proceeds equal to the Assumed Net Asset Value would result in an Offeree
Payment and an Offeror Payment in the amounts set forth.
The Triggering Notice shall be accompanied by a copy of a check made
payable to a title company, bank or law firm willing to act as escrow agent, in
its capacity as such (the "Escrow Agent"), in an amount equal to five percent
(5.0%) of the Offeree Payment, the original of which was delivered by the
Offeror to the Escrow Agent as a down payment on the proposed purchase by the
Offeror (the "Offeror's Deposit"), and an escrow agreement executed by the
Offeror and the Escrow Agent pursuant to which the Escrow Agent acknowledges
receipt of the Offeror's Deposit and agrees to hold and apply same in accordance
with the provisions hereof.
(b) If the Offeree disputes the calculations made to arrive at
either the Offeror Payment or Offeree Payment set forth in the Triggering Notice
(no disputes may be based upon the Assumed Net Asset Value), the Offeree may,
within five days after delivery of the Triggering Notice, submit the dispute to
the Venture Accountants and, within ten days, the Venture Accountants shall make
a determination as to the dispute, all parties shall be bound thereby, and the
Offeror Payment and Offeree Payment shall thereafter be the amount established
by the Venture Accountants, if different than the amounts established by the
Offeror. The Offeree shall have the right, exercisable by delivery of written
notice to the Offeror not more than ninety (90) days after receipt of the
Triggering Notice (the "Election Notice") to elect to either (1) sell such
Offeree's Venture Interest to the Offeror for a price equal to the Offeree
Payment, or (2) purchase the Venture Interest of the Offeror for a cash purchase
price equal to the Offeror Payment.
15
If the Offeree elects to purchase the Venture Interest of the Offeror,
then the Offeree shall, concurrent with the delivery of the Election Notice,
deliver a check payable to the Escrow Agent in an amount equal to five percent
(5.0%) of the Offeror Payment, as a down payment on the purchase by the Offeree
(the "Offeree's Deposit") and an agreement executed by the Offeree authorizing
the Escrow Agent to hold and apply the Offeree's Deposit pursuant to the
provisions hereof. The Offeree shall also authorize the Escrow Agent to return
the Offeror's Deposit, plus any interest accrued thereon, to the Offeror. In the
event the Offeree does not deliver an election Notice within ninety (90) days
after delivery of the Triggering Notice, the Offeree shall be deemed to have
accepted the offer by the Offeror to purchase the Offeree's Venture Interest in
return for the Offeree Payment.
(c) On the Purchase Date, the Offeree, unless it has delivered a
timely Election Notice and otherwise complied with the provisions of the
preceding paragraph, shall sell, and the Offeror shall purchase, the Venture
Interest of the Offeree for the Offeree Payment by directing the Escrow Agent to
deliver the Offeror's Deposit to the Offeree (including any interest accrued
thereon) and delivering the balance of the Offeror Payment to the Offeree by
cashier's check, federal funds wire or law firm trust account check. If the
Offeree has duly delivered an Election Notice and otherwise complied with the
provisions of the preceding paragraph, then, on the Purchase Date, the Offeree
shall purchase the Venture Interest of the Offeror and the Offeror shall sell
its Venture Interest to the Offeree for the Offeror Payment which shall be made
by the Offeree directing the Escrow Agent to disburse the Offeree's Deposit
(including any interest accrued thereon) to the Offeror and the Offeree paying
the balance of the Offeror Payment to the Offeror by cashier's check, federal
funds wire or law firm trust account check. If the purchasing Venturer shall
fail to complete the purchase on the Purchase Date through no fault of the
selling Venturer, unless the Offeror and Offeree mutually notify the Escrow
Agent to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall deliver the Deposit made by the
defaulting Venturer, plus any interest accrued thereon, to the selling Venturer
as liquidated damages for the failure of the purchasing Venturer to complete the
purchase.
(d) After delivery of a Triggering Notice, no Venturer shall be
obligated to contribute any Additional Capital in accordance with the terms
hereof. Any Venturer may make a loan to the Venture, at two percent (2%) over
the Stipulated Rate, during the period from delivery of a Triggering Notice
until the Purchase Date, which loan shall be repaid if made by a selling
Venturer, on the Purchase Date.
(e) On the Purchase Date, the Venturer selling its Venture
Interest ("Seller") shall, in writing, represent and warrant to the purchasing
Venturer ("Purchaser") that the Seller's Venture Interest is owned by the Seller
free and clear of all claims and encumbrances and that
16
valid title to the Seller's Venture Interest will be vested in the Purchaser (or
its designees) upon consummation of the transaction. The Purchaser may designate
one or more Persons to take title to all or any portion of the Venture Interest
being conveyed.
(f) The Purchaser hereunder must arrange for all loans owed by
the Venture to a Seller (or its Affiliates) to be paid in full at the closing on
the Purchase Date. Failure to do so shall be deemed a default for which the
above liquidated damages provision shall be applicable.
(g) At the closing of the purchase and sale of any Venture
Interest pursuant to this Section 7.4, the Seller shall assign, transfer and
convey the Venture Interest to be purchased to the Purchaser. In addition,
Purchaser shall be required to obtain and deliver to Seller the unconditional
release of Seller (and, if separate guaranties have been made by same, to any
shareholder, partner or other Affiliate of the Seller), from any and all
contractual obligations, contingent or otherwise, for monies borrowed by the
Venture and for contractual guaranties or contractual undertakings of the
Venture for which Seller (and/or its shareholders, partners or other Affiliates)
may be personally liable.
ARTICLE EIGHT

8.1 DISSOLUTION. It is the intention of the Venturers that the business
of the Venture be continued by the Venturers pursuant to the provisions of this

Venture;
(b) The written decision by the Venturers that the Venture should be
dissolved;
(c) The Venture or a Venturer shall suffer a Bankruptcy; or
(d) December 31, 2003.
8.2 WIND-UP. Upon the dissolution of the Venture, the Venture
Accountants shall make a final accounting of the business and affairs of the
Venture and the Venturers shall proceed with reasonable promptness to liquidate
the business, property and assets of the Venture and to distribute the proceeds
in the following order of priority:
17
(a) To the payment of expenses of any sale, disposition or
transfer of the Venture assets in liquidation of the Venture;
(b) To the payment of just debts and liabilities of the Venture
(including to any Venturers), in the order of priority provided by this
Agreement;
(c) To the establishment of a reasonable reserve for contingent
expenses, final legal, accounting and similar expenses incurred in connection
with liquidating the Venture and for other unforeseen and miscellaneous
expenses. In addition, the sum of $200,000.00 shall be deposited into a reserve
for the payment of any warranty claims by homeowners. Such reserves, when no
longer needed for the purposes established, shall be distributed as provided in
subparagraphs (d) through (f) below;
(d) To the Venturers, PRO RATA, in accordance with their
respective Unreturned Capital Contributions;
(e) To the Venturers, PRO RATA, in accordance with their
respective Venture Interests.
The Venturers may elect to distribute the remaining property and assets
of the Venture, if any, in kind, in lieu of selling them, based upon the then
existing fair market value thereof and after allocating to the Venturers, in
accordance with their respective interests in the Venture, any unrealized gain
inherent in such assets.
The wind-up of the affairs of the Venture shall be conducted by the
Venturers. In liquidating the assets of the Venture, all tangible assets of a
saleable value shall be sold at such price and terms as the Venturers determine
to be fair and equitable. Any Venturer may purchase such assets at such sale. It
shall not be necessary to sell any intangible assets of the Venture. A
reasonable time shall be allowed for the orderly liquidation of the assets of
the Venture and the discharge of liabilities to creditors to minimize the losses
that might otherwise occur upon liquidation.
